| jpmorgan | Jordan_U, thanks. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan_U | jpmorgan: usr13: If removing the current kernel would work, then you must already have an older kernel installed. If you already have an older kernel installed, you can test it by just holding shift during boot (to unhide the grub menu) and selecting it from the grub menu, without the risk of removing your current kernel. | 00:00 |
| mcphail | trism: that seems to explain it. Thanks and goodnight | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | jpmorgan: You're welcome. | 00:00 |
| L3top | Kiziaru: I think unichrome is as good as you are going to get. You can try the proprietary via... but I don't think it will work. What is that thing, like a micro/pico itx? | 00:00 |
| jpmorgan | Jordan_U, unfortunately i autoremoved the older kernal when i upgraded the system | 00:01 |
| AssociateX | is no one else having problems with flash? | 00:01 |
| AssociateX | is no one else here* having problems with flash? | 00:01 |
| L3top | Everyone has problems with flash. Their linux driver is junk AssociateX. | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | jpmorgan: Sound works with the new kernel in the LiveUSB, so I don't think that's the problem. | 00:01 |
| Ghosthunter007 | L3top, part of his issue is he doesnt have a xorg.conf file so I am having him install openchrome | 00:02 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| AssociateX | L3top, today is the first day where no flash at all is working on any page in any browser. | 00:02 |
| L3top | okey doke. Xorg -configure will spit one into ~/xorg.conf.new Ghosthunter007... not that you were unaware... just sayin. | 00:02 |
| Ghosthunter007 | L3top, flash runs fine for me in 64bit I also use flash-aid | 00:02 |
| Ghosthunter007 | glad that they are not dumping it | 00:03 |
| L3top | Fine is an arbitrary term imo. AssociateX, if it was working, and has now stopped, that is something else. Did you upgrade or anything? | 00:03 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, I'm on 32bit and also used flashaid. Still, no flash works here. | 00:03 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, No I am using 64 bit flash on 64 bit os | 00:04 |
| jpmorgan | Jordan_U, again thanks for your help. | 00:05 |
| Ghosthunter007 | wow simply amazing how many people in here are trying to port scan my box | 00:05 |
| L3top | that sounds durdy. | 00:05 |
| AssociateX | L3top, I was on vaction for 2 weeks, came back and upgraded like maybe 42 packages, then flash stopped working. The plugin shows up in chrome://plugins though. | 00:05 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, did you try to uninstall package reboot and reinstall | 00:06 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, yes | 00:06 |
| L3top | So it was due to an upgrade. I would sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer AssociateX | 00:06 |
| AssociateX | L3top, did that | 00:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, do you have syslog and messages enabled on your box I look there for errors | 00:07 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, what would I grep? | 00:07 |
| revol0xf | Kiziaru, Ubuntu already includes the driver xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 00:08 |
| h725 | hi, why is the default configuration of apparmor to prevent tcpdump from reading local files? | 00:09 |
| L3top | well yes revol0xf... but it needs to be loaded. I think Ghosthunter007 is correct, needs an xorg.conf first. | 00:09 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, no just issue view /var/log/syslog | 00:09 |
| AssociateX | OK | 00:09 |
| Ghosthunter007 | then /flash | 00:09 |
| Ghosthunter007 | with search the file | 00:10 |
| Ghosthunter007 | :q! will make you quit out of view mode | 00:10 |
| ubuntu-trial | Hey all - I just installed 12.04 x64 - I know its in /dev/sda2 - I cannot boot into the new OS now. I get the Fix Error "operating System Not Found" from Intel Boot Agent.. | 00:10 |
| ubuntu-trial | Anyone know why? | 00:11 |
| ubuntu-trial | How do I make grub point to boot from /dev/sda2? | 00:11 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: is the partition bootable? | 00:11 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, Ther eis only one partition - this is a 500GB hdd. Installed 12.04 from the live CD | 00:12 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: The only thing I could think of is to check to make sure the partition is marked bootable. | 00:12 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, How do you do that ? | 00:13 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: what is sda1? | 00:13 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: I'm not really sure. :) | 00:13 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, nothing stands out there. | 00:13 |
| gaelfx | gparted is one way to checck if a partition is bootable | 00:14 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: OK, it has fdisk which is what I've used before. you run 'fdisk /dev/sda' and then 'l' | 00:14 |
| ubuntu-trial | L3top, http://pastebin.com/fVJX8hqA | 00:14 |
| spjt | or, 'p' prints the partition table, if it has a '*' under Boot it's bootalbe | 00:14 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, only thing else I would do is tail the firefox log while trying to view flash | 00:15 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: sudo fdisk -l] | 00:15 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: sudo fdisk -l | 00:15 |
| spjt | Did the last samba update break it? I get this error now: file /var/lib/samba/usershares/ owned by uid 0 is not a regular file | 00:16 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063470/ | 00:16 |
| ubuntu-trial | L3top, http://pastebin.com/GvxzMTG0 | 00:16 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, Also there is one more thing you can try is delete everything in your tmp directory rm -rf /tmp/* | 00:16 |
| spjt | I tried purging samba completely and reinstalling it but I get the same error. | 00:16 |
| spjt | I guess the next step is to just completely reinstall the OS, but it just seems wrong | 00:18 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, uid 0 is root did you chown your directroy | 00:18 |
| Ghosthunter007 | AssociateX, that looks normal | 00:18 |
| gaelfx | I've activated fglrx through Jockey, but I couldn't get fglrx-updates to work through Jockey, any ideas why the one would work but not the other? | 00:18 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: It's supposed to be owned by root, and have the sticky bit set. | 00:18 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: was that all it spit out? Or is that all you are showing because it concerns sda1? However this reveals the problems. Did you try and do a manual partition during the installer? | 00:19 |
| ubuntu-trial | L3top, that was everything it spit out | 00:19 |
| ubuntu-trial | L3top, Also, we did not try to partition while installing | 00:19 |
| AssociateX | Ghosthunter007, still crashes or just doesn't run on every page | 00:20 |
| ubuntu-trial | L3top, used the default basic install option | 00:20 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, L3top, there is no * under BOOT column from fdisk o/p, denoting that the partition is not bootable? | 00:20 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: Yes, if you type 'a' and then the partition number, you can type 'p' again and it should show it's bootable. | 00:21 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: You need to type 'w' to save though, or else nothing will happen | 00:21 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, did you reset the smbpasswd users? | 00:21 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, ok we will try and report back | 00:21 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: yes. | 00:21 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: I didn't change anything other than running update. In my experience that's usually been the last thing I do before reinstalling Ubuntu | 00:22 |
| stuxhelp | how do i change my hostname in ubuntu, i know i can change /etc/hosts, and then run hostname, but is there more steps required? | 00:22 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: that is very weird. It went very wrong. It will create, first of all, an extended/logical partition and a swap partition with the default options set... none of that happened. It looks very much like the manual partition option was chosen, and done very incorrectly. Not saying that what you are saying is untrue... but... I have never seen that before, having done a gazillion installs. | 00:23 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, http://pastebin.com/s4yZuFDB | 00:23 |
| spjt | stuxhelp: /etc/hostname | 00:23 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, can you IM me your smb.conf you can remove the usernames please I just need the raw file | 00:23 |
| stuxhelp | ah ithought the hostname command would change /etc/hostname | 00:23 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: I just reinstalled samba completely, it's the default config file. | 00:24 |
| stuxhelp | im just worried there is some other hardcoded setting | 00:24 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok | 00:24 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, I've sent the o/p of the WRITE - which spat out an error. Hoep that is fine? | 00:24 |
| spjt | ubuntu-trial: It might be, but if it wasn't marked bootable that's definitely a problem. | 00:25 |
| baz870 | Hello | 00:25 |
| L3top | ubuntu-trial: I would check this HD for physical errors. | 00:25 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, okay. Now it's marked as bootable | 00:25 |
| ubuntu-trial | spjt, let me do a reboot | 00:25 |
| baz870 | Is anyone running ubuntu 12.04 and using an android 4.04 phone? | 00:25 |
| ubuntu-trial | spkt and check if I'm okay. Otherwise I'll be bakc on her efor help ;) | 00:26 |
| gecjr | is there a way to remotely control a monitor in ubuntu? I ssh to my server; and have a monitor connected. no keyboard would like to display stuff on monitor remotely | 00:27 |
| baz870 | HI. I have an issue connecting my android phone to my ubuntu pc via usb. Can anyone assist? | 00:28 |
| Ghosthunter007 | gecjr, are you talking about split monitors or remote into a box and control the desktop? | 00:29 |
| Ghosthunter007 | like KVM | 00:29 |
| baz870 | IS there anyone out there that may be able to assist me? | 00:30 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, I recommend you installing SWAT | 00:31 |
| gecjr | Ghosthunter007 primary monitor (only one connected). | 00:32 |
| gecjr | I would like to ssh in; and be able to open windows or apps and display to monitor | 00:32 |
| Cottus | baz870, disconnect the phone , in a terminal run "sudo tailf /var/log/syslog" , connect the phone and show the difference between disconnected and connected, http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:33 |
| gecjr | the monitor just shows the login screen; I guess I need to kill the login daemon and some how attach something to the console to be able to create a desktop, etc. | 00:33 |
| spjt | gecjr: x11vnc | 00:33 |
| gecjr | i understand how to do vnc, etc. but this creates a different desktop doesn't use the monitor | 00:33 |
| Ghosthunter007 | gecjr, OK install FreeNX http://www.nomachine.com/download.php | 00:33 |
| L3top | !anyone | baz870 | 00:33 |
| ubottu | baz870: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 00:33 |
| Ghosthunter007 | VNC is a security risk | 00:33 |
| urgodfather | is anyone familiar with getting a synaptics touchpad with gestures to function properly? | 00:34 |
| Ghosthunter007 | gecjr, with FreeNX you are using port 22 to encrypt your session to your desktop and its all free for personal use | 00:34 |
| gecjr | is xvnc the same as x11vnc ? I've tried that and it is not using monitor; just creates a x11 desktop. that works but still don't have control of monitor. | 00:34 |
| baz870 | Cottus. This is what the terminal sent back "Jun 28 10:34:17 BlackBetty mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 12 was an MTP device" | 00:34 |
| spjt | gecjr: x11vnc controls the primary X display | 00:35 |
| gecjr | not kvm; no keyboard on ubuntu machine. i'm just trying to use attached monitor without a keyboard. | 00:35 |
| Ghosthunter007 | gecjr, just gave you the way to do it | 00:35 |
| urgodfather | gecjr have you heard of synergy? | 00:35 |
| spjt | gecjr: e.g. if I use x11vnc, I can see what I'm doing on the monitor of the linux machine. | 00:35 |
| Cottus | baz870, i can't help you, keep that to the next who answers | 00:36 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: At the moment I'm backing up my home directories so I can just reinstall. | 00:36 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Ok peoples please really stop port scanning or I will enable my counter measures and your be dropped from your ISP | 00:37 |
| L3top | baz870: You need to ask an actual question in order to get an answer. | 00:37 |
| gecjr | spjt thanks going to install it and see how it works | 00:37 |
| urgodfather | gecjr, synergy is kinda like a software based solution sort of like a kvm switch | 00:37 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, I am thinking that permission grants got messed up but swat can help config smb wit out touching the smb.conf file with an editor | 00:38 |
| Flynn | Hi fellas, ubuntu noob here.How do I stop having PORT issues while using private torrent trackers? | 00:38 |
| wookienz | open them? | 00:38 |
| urgodfather | gecjr the only problem you might run into is booting without a keyboard attached | 00:38 |
| spjt | gecjr: nohup x11vnc -display :0 -http -usepw -loop 2>&1 > /dev/null | 00:39 |
| baz870 | My android phone will not appear on my ubuntu pc. I have recently upgraded the phone software to android 4.04. What do I need to my PC to get the phone to appear? | 00:39 |
| spjt | that's the command line I use to start it | 00:39 |
| Charles11 | I have just installed ubuntu on my dell optiplex, it is dual booted with windows, on first start up, it tells me it will run in low graphics mode, what ever I try the computer crashes and it tells me something about dameon crash reports and waits for me to press the power button, any ideas? | 00:39 |
| gecjr | urgodfather: thanks. i've used synergy before; i am really just trying to find a way to run stuff remotely but if x11vnc doesn't work I will see if I can get synergy installed and use it to switch between monitors. | 00:39 |
| Flynn | wookienz, | 00:39 |
| gecjr | spjt: thanks for the example. I'll make a note of it. | 00:39 |
| urgodfather | is anyone familiar with getting a synaptics touchpad with gestures to function properly? | 00:39 |
| L3top | baz870: How are you trying to connect to it? USB? Wifi? Bluetooth? | 00:39 |
| Flynn | how am i suppose to find out which port it uses | 00:39 |
| blackshirt | whay is your graphic card? | 00:40 |
| baz870 | USB | 00:40 |
| Ghosthunter007 | gecjr, freenx will do everything you want | 00:40 |
| blackshirt | Flynn, netata | 00:40 |
| Flynn | and do i have to open each individual port thats in the thousands since it doesnt use port eight | 00:40 |
| Flynn | eighty | 00:40 |
| blackshirt | Netstat | 00:40 |
| wookienz | Flynn, should jst be one | 00:40 |
| wookienz | what tracker? | 00:40 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Flynn, run this command netstat -tapnl | 00:40 |
| Flynn | animebytes | 00:40 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: So will x11vnc, just much more easily :) | 00:40 |
| wookienz | ok dont know that one. what client you using? | 00:41 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, yeah but not secure | 00:41 |
| Charles11 | I have just installed ubuntu on my dell optiplex, it is dual booted with windows, on first start up, it tells me it will run in low graphics mode, what ever I try the computer crashes and it tells me something about dameon crash reports and waits for me to press the power button, any ideas? Intel Graphics card, the live cd runs perfectly. | 00:41 |
| urgodfather | gecjr, i dont know if it actually will switch between the monitors, instead i believe it extends the mouse/keyboard to the other pcs as if you were to have two monitors on one desktop | 00:41 |
| Ghosthunter007 | before I install anything I install with paranoia in mind I mean security | 00:41 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: It's secure enough, if he's running it on the local network. I run it through a SSH tunnel | 00:41 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: I'm more paranoid about installing things that aren't in apt. | 00:42 |
| Charles11 | What is run in low graphics mode? | 00:43 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: There's also the issue that at work the computers are locked down, so I can only run VNC on account of it having the Java applet client. | 00:43 |
| urgodfather | ok.. does anyone know if a fix made for debian would work on ubuntu? | 00:44 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Freenx is been around for years and compression rate is the best on the market for performance | 00:44 |
| wookienz | Flynn, most torrent clients only need one port to talk to the tracker on. just open that one port on router/firewall. | 00:44 |
| urgodfather | http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad | 00:44 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, VNC is huge security risk | 00:44 |
| Flynn | okay thanks wookienz | 00:44 |
| spjt | urgodfather: probably not, I don't think Ubuntu even has X configuration files | 00:44 |
| Ghosthunter007 | even thru ssh because before the tunnel is made the ports are still open to clear text | 00:45 |
| spjt | urgodfather: have you looked at synclient | 00:45 |
| urgodfather | spjt, like ghosthunter007 vnc= HUGE SECURITY RISK it literally acts as a front door to the pc | 00:45 |
| urgodfather | spjt: thanks for the respons alos | 00:45 |
| urgodfather | also* | 00:45 |
| spjt | urgodfather: I just block it so it only connects to localhost anyway | 00:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | FreeNX will allow you to control access with certificate based systems no cert installed no access | 00:46 |
| trism | Ghosthunter007: not with --localhost in x11vnc | 00:46 |
| milkm9n | anyone available to lend a hand with a multiple monitors issue? this one's been a real doozy for me | 00:46 |
| urgodfather | spjt: im looking at synclient now, what exactly is it and how do i use it? | 00:47 |
| Etruscan | #ubuntu | 00:47 |
| Cottus | milkm9n, speak | 00:47 |
| Ghosthunter007 | trism, if you setup a x11vnc port it out to internet it iwll tkae less than 30 minutes before the box is owned | 00:47 |
| trism | Ghosthunter007: that's why you use --localhost | 00:48 |
| urgodfather | spjt: nevermind, i see its cli like tpconfig | 00:48 |
| Ghosthunter007 | arg typos | 00:48 |
| milkm9n | cottus, actually, it's more of a 'closing the lid' issue | 00:48 |
| Cottus | ah | 00:48 |
| milkm9n | I've got my laptop connected to a monitor via hdmi | 00:48 |
| Ghosthunter007 | anyone on your network can run driftnet or arp poison and tcpdump to grab your session password | 00:48 |
| milkm9n | I want to be able to shut the lid without the computer suspending | 00:48 |
| milkm9n | but it goes into sleep everytime I shut the lid | 00:48 |
| Cottus | settings/power management | 00:48 |
| milkm9n | yes, i have it set to 'do nothing' | 00:49 |
| milkm9n | it still sleeps lol | 00:49 |
| ClientAlive | how do I install software from a dvd disc from the command line? (ubuntu server 12.04 - cli only system) | 00:49 |
| matti_ | Hi, is there any software that search my installation and track down in consistency or fault in OS, the reason is that my laptop gets very slow and another day the laptop works like normal ... | 00:49 |
| Cottus | i have no ideo | 00:49 |
| Cottus | i have no idea | 00:49 |
| urgodfather | spjt: to prevent what Ghosthunter007 just pointed out... mac address filtering | 00:49 |
| milkm9n | yeah same here... | 00:49 |
| Cottus | :D | 00:49 |
| milkm9n | you wouldn't happen to know if there's a way to completely disable that device? | 00:49 |
| urgodfather | spjt: but even then... someone could easily clone a mac address of a connected host using various tools/distros out there | 00:50 |
| ClientAlive | anybody? | 00:50 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Just stating I looked at all this and I found that FreeNX is the safest solution because from the get go the package has encryption and hardened the handshake relies on a certificate being installed on the connecting machine if there is no cert connection is logged reported and dropped RSA uniformed connection method | 00:51 |
| spjt | Maybe I'll try to get FreeNX working | 00:51 |
| urgodfather | ClientAlive: i have no clue but you could always install a desktop manager like gnome shell | 00:51 |
| Ghosthunter007 | its super fast to install and you can configure it many different ways | 00:52 |
| ClientAlive | I have awesome window manager... (?) | 00:52 |
| Ghosthunter007 | primary directory is /usr/etc/NX | 00:52 |
| ClientAlive | yes, I may end up being forced to do that. My hope was to go light weight on my host system (virtualization going on here). | 00:52 |
| urgodfather | ClientAlive: correct me if im wrong but isnt a desktop manager and a window manager different? | 00:52 |
| ClientAlive | I'm pretty sure they are different, yes | 00:53 |
| urgodfather | ClientAlive: consider lxde or kde | 00:53 |
| ClientAlive | I have xdm... (?) | 00:53 |
| urgodfather | i recommend lxde | 00:53 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok brb getting dinner | 00:53 |
| kayve | I'm having a crazy disaster I think is related to R | 00:53 |
| ClientAlive | but you should be able to launch it from the command line somehow - something like mount the iso, then (?) | 00:53 |
| Cottus | milkm9n, no, sorry, a hint might be acpi | 00:54 |
| kayve | My Gnome won't let me use window. I get stuck in the terminal. I can't switch between windows. | 00:54 |
| kayve | I was supposed to intall my Gnome on a VMBox but I am too lame {:( | 00:54 |
| urgodfather | ClientAlive: im sure you can... i just dont know how. im only offering an alternative solution | 00:54 |
| kayve | I have an assignment due Saturday this is a disaster | 00:54 |
| milkm9n | acpi = ? | 00:55 |
| kayve | oh no the mouse is starting to act weird already | 00:55 |
| Cottus | it sends events when sth like that happens, lid closed, opend | 00:55 |
| urgodfather | kayve, im pretter sure your problem will be unsupported since you switched to gnome instead of using the provided desktop environment | 00:55 |
| kayve | I only have XChat open | 00:55 |
| Cottus | !acpi | 00:55 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kayve, alt+ctrl+F1 F2 F3 ect... will switch windows | 00:55 |
| ClientAlive | right on urgodfather - much appreciated. Think I'll try to find out how to do from the command line, then, if there's no way, I'll go that route :) | 00:55 |
| matti_ | My laptop get painfully slow but i do not know where to start troubleshooting, where would you start ... | 00:56 |
| kayve | god I hate the new crap | 00:56 |
| urgodfather | ClientAlive: may the force be with you | 00:56 |
| kayve | It's like macintosh I hate it so much | 00:56 |
| ClientAlive | lol | 00:56 |
| Cottus | Advanced Configuration and Power Interface | 00:56 |
| ClientAlive | thx man | 00:56 |
| kayve | I'm sorry. | 00:56 |
| kayve | I just have to express myself. It's all about autohide I despise autohide. I need to SEE the stuff I want to SEE but everybody thing it's a "mess" or something. STupid. | 00:57 |
| kayve | so If I log out I can get to the windowing system by selecting what? | 00:57 |
| Ghosthunter007 | alt+ctlr+F? keys | 00:58 |
| kayve | The mouse totally goes crazy.. no I want to comply and be a *@#&ing Mac user with the stupid autohide google your own computer nonsense good bye sensible workspaces I just need to return to productivity I need to be obedient to the obnoxious mandate of how I am supposed to do computing | 00:59 |
| kayve | I log out and select what is it called? Oh well.. I guess I can figure it out. | 00:59 |

| jasonlfunk | How do I disable syslog from dumping to the console terminal? | 01:06 |
| spjt | jasonlfunk: It shouldn't. Is syslogd running? | 01:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | spjt, awesome | 01:07 |
| kayve | oh this is just awful. I have five choices 1) Gnome 2) Gnome Classic 3) Gnome Classic (no Effects) 4) Ubuntu or 5) Ubuntu 2D. Which is the proper choice? I can't control windows properly. They refuse to resize this is just awful | 01:07 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: For some reason, the old smb.conf doesn't work with the update, it works now that I copied my changed settings over. | 01:07 |
| jasonlfunk | spjt: Yes, it's running. Perhaps it isn't syslog. When some of my programs that are started with upstart print to stderr (I'm assuming) they are outputted on my console. | 01:08 |
| kayve | I can't work with ctl-alt-F# that is just completely untenable. I need to cut and paste. I need to run R. I need to paste from R | 01:08 |
| Ghosthunter007 | yeah some smb.conf file are versioned | 01:08 |
| L3top | kayve: if you would like to rail on and complain about everything, #ubuntu-offtopic is a more appropriate channel. If you have an actual support question, that would go here. | 01:08 |
| spjt | My next question is, how do I keep samba from updating :) | 01:08 |
| kayve | I need help. Which of the 5 choices is the appropriate choice? | 01:08 |
| Ghosthunter007 | samba should never update on its own | 01:09 |
| kayve | which of the above 5 choices is "supported?" | 01:09 |
| spjt | nm i can google that | 01:09 |
| L3top | !poll | kayve | 01:09 |
| ubottu | kayve: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:09 |
| Ghosthunter007 | in the package manager you can select which packages are installed | 01:09 |
| kayve | I need to know what is the "supported" choice that I was advised of | 01:09 |
| L3top | All of them are supported. | 01:09 |
| spjt | package manager? I use apt-get :) | 01:09 |
| L3top | If I understand your characterization of them that is kayve, as gnome classic is the only one that actually matches a DM | 01:10 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ah ok so its blind you can install tripwire to prevent your smb.conf file from being changed if an update does happen | 01:11 |
| L3top | spjt: you could pin the version. | 01:11 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: I found out how to do it with dpkg | 01:11 |
| Ghosthunter007 | SWAT will help with that too | 01:12 |
| spjt | The only thing worse for security than VNC is having a bunch of web configuration tools :) | 01:12 |

| ibodi | acer 5750g ubuntu12.04 broadcom b43.. I can see all neighbours wifi, but just not my home wifi, does my wireless working or not ? | 01:12 |
| spjt | If you can see any wifi, it's working | 01:13 |
| L3top | ibodi: Sounds like your home network doesnt have a visible SSID. | 01:13 |
| ibodi | ah.. how to reset ? | 01:13 |
| ibodi | reset modem i guess ? | 01:13 |
| spjt | I had an old Macbook that could connect to my neighbor's wifi but couldn't see mine | 01:14 |
| spjt | ibodi: if it doesn't show SSID (which is often a good idea) you just type it in manuall | 01:14 |
| L3top | ibodi: it would depend on the AP. Chances are you can open it and use the web admin to set one... but each is specific, and not really within the scope of Ubuntu support. | 01:14 |
| spjt | I'm not sure that not broadcasting SSID helps security anyway, | 01:14 |
| Ghosthunter007 | who is from huston | 01:14 |
| bazhang | !ot | Ghosthunter007 | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Ghosthunter007: #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! | 01:14 |
| ibodi | I remember set some value with asus wireless modem. however i forget the parameta name. | 01:16 |
| Ghosthunter007 | lol bot decides to chime in now... | 01:16 |
| bazhang | Ghosthunter007, stop with the offtopic chatter please | 01:16 |
| ibodi | L3top: win7 can connect. | 01:16 |
| bazhang | ibodi, do you know the name of the AP (access point aka wiki hotspot) | 01:17 |
| skulltip | wolf et has no sound with 12.04? | 01:17 |
| L3top | ibodi: if you are scanning, and finding networks, then it is your specific WAP. | 01:17 |
| bazhang | ibodi, in network manager choose find hidden | 01:17 |
| Ghosthunter007 | bazhang, Then I suggest little script kitties stop trying to scanning peoples systems here I have a ton of IPs in my firewall log from this room, so it is on topic | 01:18 |
| bazhang | Ghosthunter007, no it's not. thats enough | 01:18 |
| ibodi | bazhang: i m dummy. where to open network manager | 01:19 |
| spjt | Ghosthunter007: It's probably your IRC server. | 01:19 |
| evilytwisted | IM having slight issues with wine that i canot find help with winehq hopefully one of you could help? when trying to run starcraft2 it kept saying i dont have gecko or mono installed... so i did what normally anyone would do.... upgrade wine...

| ibodi | bazhang: or you mean: view network information , when click on the wireless icon? on top right corner | 01:19 |
| Ghosthunter007 | using Ubuntu iptables with logging then the package portscanner to log attempted intrusions then using the snort engine to reverse trace make Ubuntu a very secure system which reports | 01:22 |
| spjt | We use csf at work, it's pretty nice. I haven't tried to set it up at home | 01:24 |
| evilytwisted | any of you know anything about wine? | 01:24 |
| Ghosthunter007 | evilytwisted, what are you trying to do with it | 01:25 |
| Ghosthunter007 | install wow | 01:25 |
| evilytwisted | run starcraft 2 | 01:25 |
| Ghosthunter007 | evilytwisted, ah super easy | 01:25 |
| evilytwisted | like i stated before.. it kept saying i didnt have mono or gecko installed | 01:25 |
| evilytwisted | so i updated it... which i got this http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lag3gp.jpg | 01:25 |
| OerHeks | evilytwisted, check the wineHQ database | 01:26 |
| Ghosthunter007 | evilytwisted, install winetricks | 01:26 |
| evilytwisted | i have it installed | 01:26 |
| evilytwisted | and sc2 worked fine before i upgraded wine | 01:26 |
| Ghosthunter007 | are you downloading or supplying the ISO | 01:26 |
| evilytwisted | sc2 is already installed due to previous wine instalation | 01:27 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ah your pointer file may of changed | 01:27 |
| evilytwisted | dont tell me i have to reinstall sc2.. | 01:28 |
| Ghosthunter007 | evilytwisted, there is an off chance if you browse to the sc2.exe and double click it wine will start it | 01:28 |
| evilytwisted | alreawdy tried | 01:28 |
| evilytwisted | still gave the same error | 01:28 |
| Ghosthunter007 | what error | 01:28 |
| evilytwisted | look at this http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lag3gp.jpg | 01:28 |
| Ghosthunter007 | looks like the wine.cfg was over ridden and it is a reinstall | 01:29 |
| evilytwisted | pretty much. yes | 01:29 |
| Ghosthunter007 | just back up your configs before upgrades | 01:30 |
| evilytwisted | a bit to late for that... | 01:30 |
| Ghosthunter007 | yeah but now your aware for next time | 01:30 |
| evilytwisted | Mmhmmm | 01:31 |
| evilytwisted | anything i can do or do i have to install sc2 again? | 01:31 |
| FTPGuy | Does anyone here know anything about vsftpd? | 01:31 |
| Ghosthunter007 | I would just reinstall it it quick | 01:31 |

| FTPGuy | I've been trying to work out how to add a new user to VSFTPD and have each user access to a different directory on the system, any ideas? (tried google) | 01:32 |

| developer | Everytime when I shutdown my computer, it stuck. But if I stop the wireless using sudo ifconfig wlan0 down. everything will be ok. | 01:42 |
| Ghosthunter007 | evilytwisted, it appears you have a conflict with versions I recommend removing wine and all its files apt-get --purge wine | 01:44 |
| evilytwisted | ty | 01:44 |
| Jagst3r15 | what is safer PPAs or backports | 01:44 |
| Ghosthunter007 | then reboot and reinstall the current version you had working | 01:44 |
| GeekAdmin | hi. I have a computer here where I had to uninstall Ubuntu (had a dual windows setup), and need to get Windows only back on that drive. (Ubuntu on another hard drive.). I used gparted from a live disc to remove the Ubuntu partitons..but that also erased grub and now I can't boot into Windows. Its a netbook so don't have a CD drive. Whats the proper tool to use (that can be put on a USB) to fix the MBR? | 01:44 |
| evilytwisted | Ghosthunter007: E: Invalid operation wine | 01:45 |
| GeekAdmin | Would subergrub let me repair the MBR? | 01:45 |
| OerHeks | Jagst3r15, backports, PPA's are not supported here. | 01:46 |

| dalek_ | does anyone here know how to install oracle java 7 in ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | !java | 01:55 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 01:55 |
| DWSR | Ghosthunter007: btw, "auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback" | 01:55 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok | 01:55 |
| DWSR | \n being newline | 01:55 |
| * W8KWA doesnt install java sorry | 01:55 | |
| Ghosthunter007 | you need to edit it to have the following | 01:55 |
| mneptok | DWSR: is your problem just with nameserver lookups? | 01:55 |

| Ghosthunter007 | auto eth0 | 01:56 |
| Ghosthunter007 | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 01:56 |
| th0r | DWSR, do an ifconfig and see if you have an ip assigned to the interface | 01:56 |
| mneptok | DWSR: "ifconfig" will tell you if you have a lease | 01:56 |
| DWSR | mneptok: I don't. ;) | 01:56 |

| DWSR | Whoever wrote the error message for that sucks at grammar | 01:59 |
| DWSR | "blah restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some devices." | 01:59 |
| Ghosthunter007 | did you edit your /etc/network/interfaces | 01:59 |
| DWSR | yes. | 01:59 |
| Ghosthunter007 | and add | 01:59 |
| L3top | It is depreciated... but works for most things. | 01:59 |
| Ghosthunter007 | auto eth0 | 01:59 |

| julianwa | Hi there, I've got a HP Envy6 1016TX which has SSD+SATA disks with Intel rapid storage technology. I could see all disk partitions in liveCD and manage them by GParted. But while install ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop, there's no local disks can be found. Any ideas? | 02:08 |
| DWSR | C2Ds support x64 | 02:08 |
| Stark | Hm. Any easy way to switch from a 32-bit installation to 64-bit? | 02:08 |
| DWSR | Stark: Yes. A complete reinstall. | 02:08 |
| Stark | DWSR: Meaning I'd have to remove everything? Damn. | 02:09 |
| DWSR | Stark: Yes.\ | 02:09 |
| Ghosthunter007 | DWSR, check your network manager from command line | 02:09 |
| Stark | Guess I'll stick with 32-bit, then. | 02:09 |
| DWSR | Ghosthunter007: ifup reports eth1 is already configured. | 02:09 |

| GeekAdmin | sandyd: no Pen Drive Linux USB installer | 02:15 |
| GeekAdmin | sandyd: should I use unetbootin instead? | 02:15 |
| sandyd | Unetbootin has an option to choose the number of mb for persistence | 02:15 |
| sandyd | use unetbootin | 02:15 |
| DWSR | LiLi is good as well. | 02:15 |

| Ghosthunter007 | is this eth1 or th0 | 02:17 |
| Ghosthunter007 | eth0 | 02:17 |
| DWSR | eth1 | 02:17 |
| DWSR | I don't have an eth0. | 02:17 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok | 02:17 |
| DWSR | I have been adjusting your instructions, btw. | 02:18 |
| Ghosthunter007 | oh in your interfaces file did you put eth0 or eth1 | 02:18 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ah ok | 02:18 |
| DWSR | eth1 | 02:18 |
| DWSR | :) | 02:18 |

| DWSR | archwiccan: You're trying to format a partition. | 02:19 |
| DWSR | Ghosthunter007: What should I put for yourIPhere? | 02:19 |
| Ghosthunter007 | put in a valid IP | 02:19 |
| Ghosthunter007 | example | 02:19 |
| DWSR | Ghosthunter007: Got it | 02:19 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 02:19 |
| DWSR | Command returned no output | 02:19 |
| skumara | archwiccan, why don't u use disk utility? | 02:19 |
| DWSR | Should I cycle it via ifupdown? | 02:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | this a vm or physical | 02:20 |
| DWSR | This is a phyiscla. | 02:20 |
| DWSR | physical* | 02:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok | 02:20 |
| DWSR | The box I'm running it on is a physical box, and it's a physical interface. | 02:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ifconfig -a | 02:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | is eth1 up | 02:20 |
| DWSR | yes. | 02:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok any ip in it | 02:20 |
| DWSR | no. | 02:21 |
| DWSR | I also have an entry for eth1:avahi | 02:21 |
| DWSR | Which wasn't there before. | 02:21 |
| Ghosthunter007 | you have one network card in this box | 02:21 |
| DWSR | yep | 02:22 |
| Ghosthunter007 | the default should be eth0 | 02:22 |
| Ghosthunter007 | issue this command | 02:22 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ifconfig eth1 down | 02:22 |
| DWSR | done | 02:22 |
| Ghosthunter007 | now go to the interfaces file and change the eth1 to eth0 | 02:22 |
| DWSR | /etc/network/interfaces? | 02:23 |
| Ghosthunter007 | yes | 02:23 |
| Ghosthunter007 | so it should say | 02:23 |

| DWSR | auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp | 02:23 |

| Ghosthunter007 | now issue this command | 02:24 |
| DWSR | Instead of putting out 4 lines, I just type 1 line and denote where the lines end. | 02:24 |
| archwiccan | wow gparted work but no matter what i did on command line couldn't get it to work, has linux hit the time now where gui tools are better than command line :P | 02:24 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ifconfig eth0 up | 02:24 |
| Ghosthunter007 | then ifconfig -a | 02:24 |
| Ghosthunter007 | it is up | 02:24 |

| Ghosthunter007 | ok question | 02:25 |
| Ghosthunter007 | did this system ever have 2 nic | 02:25 |
| DWSR | Nope. | 02:25 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok one more spot to look | 02:25 |
| L3top | DWSR: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules pastebin please. | 02:26 |
| DWSR | L3top: No access to the internet from this box. | 02:26 |
| DWSR | Or to the network | 02:26 |
| L3top | okey doke... | 02:26 |
| Ghosthunter007 | L3top thanks that is the file I was looking for | 02:26 |
| DWSR | I can type it out. | 02:27 |
| L3top | How many entries do you have in there ? | 02:27 |
| DWSR | 2. | 02:27 |
| L3top | and you have only one nic? | 02:27 |
| DWSR | yes. | 02:27 |
| DWSR | Should I delete the entry that regards eth1? | 02:27 |
| Ghosthunter007 | yes | 02:27 |
| DWSR | I noticed that it matched the entry in NetworkManager.conf that said no-auto-default. | 02:27 |
| L3top | DWSR: sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ~/net-rule.bu | 02:28 |
| L3top | reboot. A new rule will be created | 02:28 |
| DWSR | mkay, rebooting. | 02:28 |
| L3top | check the number of entries in the new file. | 02:28 |

| L3top | Ok... and I presume it is eth0 | 02:33 |
| DWSR | Yes. | 02:33 |
| DWSR | Still no connection though | 02:33 |
| L3top | You will now want to redo your /etc/network/interfaces file | 02:33 |
| L3top | Is it to recieve DHCP or static? | 02:34 |
| DWSR | DHCP | 02:34 |
| Ghosthunter007 | L3top, I had him enter in auto eth0 , iface eth0 inet dhcp | 02:34 |

| DWSR | It's already in there. | 02:34 |
| DWSR | And not working | 02:34 |
| DWSR | ifconfig reports eth0 is up. | 02:34 |
| Ghosthunter007 | see if you can ip the card with ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 02:35 |
| Ghosthunter007 | put your Ip in place of what i used | 02:35 |
| L3top | DWSR: http://pastebin.com/1cVgzB0s | 02:35 |
| DWSR | L3top: Exactly what it already looks like. | 02:35 |
| L3top | DWSR: /etc/init.d/networking restart (yes it is depreciated, but will work for what you are doing) | 02:36 |

| renode | well glad to hear im not the only one :D | 02:53 |
| sandyd | Miguelito, Have you checked system settings -> sound? | 02:53 |
| sandyd | you need to change the outputs to your headphones | 02:53 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, i don't know how to do this. is there a tutorial that you can direct me to that you find especially clear for a beginner? | 02:54 |
| Bitgod | any of you have experience w/ eGalaxTouch in 12.04??? | 02:54 |

| true_techie | dj_ryan, hadoop ever give you this error? java.net.UnknownHostException: | 02:54 |
| debugnet | look in your /boot folder and see if there is any later versions of the kernel starting with vmlinuz. you will want to see if there is anything in there later than 3.2.0-25 as you posted in the paste | 02:56 |
| true_techie | whose using hadoop? what is this? java.net.UnknownHostException: | 02:57 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, just checked. i have both /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic-pae & /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic-pae. the grub menu only shows -23 not -25. | 02:58 |

| sandyd | you have to press F6 in alsamixer to switch to your sound output btw | 02:59 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: then that means that you are using the latest one on your machine. | 02:59 |

| debugnet | jpmorgan: ...weird. 25 should be the latest one and ...wait a minute, have you reboot since you ran the update-grub command earlier? | 03:03 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, yes like 10 times | 03:03 |
| sj | can some one help me please | 03:03 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, dont think i have that installed | 03:03 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: btw, was that paste before or after you ran that update as well? | 03:03 |
| sandyd | Miguelito, Try it and see if it works with your usb headset | 03:03 |
| jpmorgan | after | 03:03 |
| sandyd | Miguelito, sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 03:04 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, install it? | 03:04 |
| sandyd | ^^ | 03:04 |

| true_techie | dj_ryan, i do this and ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C becomes pingable 127.0.0.1 localhost ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C | 03:04 |
| true_techie | but hadoop adds ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C/127.0.01 | 03:05 |
| SadlyMistaken | Hello everybody, I need to see in my searchs in nautilus a bar with the different folders where the files searched are. How can i got this? | 03:05 |
| arthas | XD | 03:05 |
| true_techie | adds 127.0.0.1 to the end | 03:05 |
| hungray1 | hi guys | 03:05 |
| hungray1 | I am trying to install ubuntu on my asus 64bit laptop | 03:05 |
| dj_ryan | that is not the best solution but it might be ok for you | 03:05 |
| hungray1 | when I pop in the installation disk | 03:05 |
| dj_ryan | it wont work if you want to add nodes to your cluster | 03:05 |
| hungray1 | the screen gloes black | 03:05 |
| hungray1 | with a blinking bar as though its on standby and the computer just sits there | 03:06 |
| hungray1 | what should I do? | 03:06 |
| sandyd | hungray1, have you tried nomodeset? | 03:06 |
| sandyd | what graphics does your laptop have? | 03:06 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: does it prompt you which kernel every time you reboot? or just boots right up? | 03:07 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: How do I check? | 03:07 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: also no, how do i try that? | 03:07 |
| sandyd | hungray1, I think we should dea | 03:07 |
| sandyd | l | 03:07 |
| sandyd | with the boot problem first | 03:07 |
| sandyd | You see the 'other options' | 03:07 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, it prompts bc its dual boot. and it only gives me the option for the earlier kernel. | 03:07 |
| sandyd | thing in the boot menu when the cd boots up? | 03:07 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, i found the usb headset it tested but i cant find where to select it to use | 03:07 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: no I am on the laptop right now. I will have to reboot to the cd but continue please | 03:07 |
| true_techie | dj_ryan, it doesnt work because hadoop adds the localhost ip to the end | 03:08 |
| sandyd | hungray1, Choose nomodeset, press enter | 03:08 |
| sandyd | boot | 03:08 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: thanks | 03:08 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: i will be back with results | 03:08 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, i can reboot and paste a picture if you wanna see how this is | 03:08 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: ...just sec | 03:08 |
| SadlyMistaken | uhm.. could someone help me out about the searchs in nautilus please? | 03:08 |
| sandyd | Miguelito, go to output devices | 03:08 |
| sandyd | beside each device is a "fallback" button. Make your normal sound card the fallback, and your headset non-fallback | 03:09 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, just when i thought i had it | 03:09 |
| dj_ryan | true_techie: sorry im not exactly following. back to the basics, does 'ping `hostname -s`' work or not? | 03:09 |
| SadlyMistaken | ok, i got it alone | 03:10 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: delete lines 124 and 148. i think they are causing the menu to be jacked...then you will have to reboot again but hopefully the full menu will show. | 03:10 |
| true_techie | dj_ryan doesnt work | 03:10 |
| SadlyMistaken | good night everybody | 03:10 |
| true_techie | ping: option requires an argument -- 's' | 03:11 |
| dj_ryan | true_techie: ok well specify that argument | 03:11 |
| dj_ryan | true_techie: a true techie should know how to ping a host :-) | 03:11 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, under phonon i have it set and do a left/right test and it goes to my headset - I then try to play a youtube video and it goes to my speaker :/ | 03:11 |
| true_techie | it doesnt know what the -s is that you added | 03:11 |
| sandyd | That is because flash does not use phonon | 03:11 |
| sj | how to upload music to fb | 03:11 |
| true_techie | i can ping localhost fine | 03:11 |
| dj_ryan | true_techie: that isnt my question | 03:12 |
| sandyd | flash uses pulseaudio, which I just got you to configure | 03:12 |
| dj_ryan | you have to be able to ping the *hostname* of the ndoe | 03:12 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, will do. | 03:12 |
| dj_ryan | eg my work desktop is called 'wk1' | 03:12 |
| sandyd | go to pavucontrol, and to output devices | 03:12 |
| dj_ryan | i can ping wk1, because wk1 resolves to my ip, via /etc/hosts | 03:12 |
| sandyd | switch the fallback to the intel HDA, and set your headset as non-fallback | 03:12 |
| true_techie | root@hostname <--- i cant ping that hostname | 03:12 |
| dj_ryan | right well you gotta fix that :-) | 03:12 |
| dj_ryan | eg: by editing /etc/hosts to map that hostname -> your ip | 03:13 |
| dj_ryan | eg what ever ifconfig eth0 shows | 03:13 |
| dj_ryan | ok i have to go | 03:13 |
| dj_ryan | good luck then | 03:13 |
| true_techie | ok | 03:13 |

| sandyd | !offtopic | sj | 03:14 |
| ubottu | sj: #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! | 03:14 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, hmmmm i am changing and applying the right output device but it is not saving the change - when i go back into output devices again it reverts back to the old device | 03:15 |
| sandyd | Miguelito, while playing flash, try going to the playback tab, switching it to your headphones | 03:16 |
| sandyd | I advise you do not wear them at that time. | 03:16 |
| Snowie | afternoon all. Have an issue where my webcam light blinks sometimes when Im in the browser. Doesnt seem to matter what page im on, but it's the only time i notice it. I have Google Chrome installed on Ubuntu 12.04. any way to track down what's going on? Think it's worth a virus scan (against chrome really, i dont think it's a linux specific issue) Advice, tips appreciated. Pretty odd to think someone may be watching you... cree | 03:17 |
| Snowie | py | 03:17 |
| sandyd | You could also go to Configuration -> Internal Audio - off. | 03:17 |
| JustAPerson | Re-asking: Why do `cat` and several other terminal applications detect the sequence CTRL+SHIFT+<Left/Right Arrow> but not with CTRL+SHIFT+<Up/Down arrows>? | 03:17 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, nope | 03:18 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, didnt work | 03:18 |
| tieinv | snowie put tap over webcam lens | 03:18 |
| Snowie | tieinv, lol. might as well just unplug it. has a microphone too | 03:19 |
| hungray1 | So | 03:19 |
| hungray1 | Using that boot option did not work | 03:19 |
| sandyd | hmm. Miguelito, you might have to wait for someone more knowledgable to come along - my area is not in audio. | 03:19 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: it did not work | 03:19 |
| sandyd | hungray1, Can you find your graphics card from the windows device manager? | 03:19 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: hold plz | 03:19 |
| tieinv | snowie use two pieces of tap :) | 03:19 |
| Miguelito | sandyd, thats ok - thanks so much for trying | 03:20 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: intel HD graphics 3000 | 03:20 |
| Snowie | sandyd, i have solved some issues with sound before mate. What's happening? I only just arrived | 03:20 |
| urgodfather | is anyone familiar with using alien to convert rpm to deb | 03:20 |
| sandyd | hungray1, hey, we have the same graphics | 03:21 |
| hungray1 | w00t | 03:21 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: so why is mine missbehaving? I have had this issue with ubuntu before on this machine...only on this machine though...every other time i have installed it somewhere it worked fine | 03:21 |
| sandyd | hungray1, can you try pressing control + alt + F1/2/3/4/5/6 ? when you encounter the boot screen? | 03:22 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, i have solved some issues with sound before mate. What's happening? I only just arrived | 03:22 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: you mean when it blinks the flashing command line? | 03:22 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: after i have pressed to install? | 03:22 |
| debugnet | Snowie: check your flash settings by right clicking any active content on a webpage like a video and click settings. then you should see a page/tab where you can turn on/off your camera | 03:22 |
| Snowie | debugnet, excellent. sec | 03:22 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, just having a hard time getting the output device for audio to stay on my usb headset | 03:22 |
| sandyd | hungray1, wait wait wait, what cd are you using | 03:23 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: the newest one from the website? I have the image burnt correctly... | 03:23 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, so it works, but keeps changing itself back? | 03:23 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: the cd is memorex cd-r | 03:24 |
| sandyd | hungray1, have you tried the "try ubuntu" button instead? | 03:24 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: yes, same results. | 03:24 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, yea i select it, test it, apply it but when i play it comes out my speaker. I go back into sound and it reverts back to the original output device | 03:24 |
| sandyd | hungray1, laptop model? | 03:24 |
| sandyd | looks like some kind of incompatible hw | 03:25 |
| Jagst3r15 | i keep getting this weird popping sound on my dell computer | 03:25 |
| Jagst3r15 | it didnt happen on windows | 03:25 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: how do i find the model | 03:25 |
| sandyd | your laptop model is probably on its underside | 03:25 |
| Jagst3r15 | but on ubuntu i get this annoying popping sound coming from my subwoofer it sounds like | 03:25 |
| sandyd | i have mine taped to the wristwrest | 03:25 |
| sandyd | *rest | 03:25 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: U46E | 03:26 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, ah, yeah i had the same issue with a mic for my webcam usb. now, what did i do to fix it. sec | 03:26 |
| hungray1 | d | 03:27 |
| sandyd | hungray1, looks like you are not the only one | 03:27 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: damn. | 03:27 |
| sandyd | seems like some sort of laptop screen detection issue | 03:27 |
| sandyd | xorg sometimes detects it, someties it doesn't | 03:28 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, i believe i had this problem when i first tried a different flavor of linux - grrrrr hate when i forget | 03:28 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: should I try an older version of ubuntu or what? | 03:28 |
| sandyd | therefore, black blinking screen | 03:28 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: i should have though xorg was to blame | 03:28 |
| sandyd | 11.10 has been affected | 03:28 |
| sandyd | don't know about the others. | 03:28 |
| sandyd | it works if you plug a secondary monitor in apparently | 03:28 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, it didn't work easing those line. got the same grub menu on boot. and then i got some sort of rfkill warning before 12.04 booted. i put the grub back to the way it was before | 03:29 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, me too. first thing to check is that alsa is up to date. also, install the alsa-mixer package. let me see if there was an option there | 03:29 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: interesting. | 03:29 |
| debugnet | Snowie: btw, for even more controls, goto http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html | 03:29 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: i will try that, then | 03:29 |
| sandyd | hungray1, wait | 03:29 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: alrighty | 03:29 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, easing* erasing line* lines | 03:29 |
| sandyd | hungray1, Try setting noapic | 03:29 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: after i press enter and check it which option do i pick? install or boot live? | 03:30 |
| sandyd | hungray1, it is in the same place as nomodeset i believe | 03:30 |
| sandyd | boot live | 03:30 |
| hungray1 | sandyd: I will be back with the results, thanks | 03:30 |
| HelloWorld321 | whats the difference between a uid and a gid? | 03:30 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: k. rfkill is just a service in the startup. uname -r still says 23? | 03:30 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, yes still 23 | 03:31 |
| sandyd | HelloWorld321, one is userid one is groupid | 03:31 |
| Snowie | debugnet, on it right now. thanks. relieved to realise it's just flash letting me know that it is enabled, and not some creepy old guy lookin at me | 03:31 |
| urgodfather | is there a way to use a 32 bit driver on a 64 bit system? | 03:32 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, will the gnome version be ok - nothing else showing up in updater or do you have a specific package name | 03:32 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, sorry, alsamixer, no dash | 03:32 |
| debugnet | Snowie: at this point, we don't know that...jk | 03:32 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, i cant see anything here that will help though | 03:33 |
| sandyd | hungray1, just for notes, there are also some who say disabling vt-d will help. | 03:33 |
| sandyd | in your bios | 03:33 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, i am using phonon | 03:33 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: sounds like something is wrong with the version 25 kernel file...does it look unusual with the file size or permissions between the two? | 03:34 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, it lets me pick it but never actually sets it | 03:34 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, how do i check for that? | 03:34 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: familiar with the command line? bash? | 03:35 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, havnt heard of that sorry. I honeslty can't remember what the fix was. What program are you trying to get the audio from? | 03:35 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, yes but not commands for that | 03:35 |
| sandyd | Snowie, flash | 03:35 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: at the terminal cd to /boot then ls -la | 03:35 |
| Miguelito | Snowie, im using youtube to test with | 03:35 |
| sandyd | That was what I was confused about, b/c flash goes through pulse | 03:36 |
| Jagst3r15 | do realtek drivers work with ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| sandyd | Jagst3r15, you mean linux realtek drivers or windows? | 03:36 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| debugnet | Jagst3r15: it is a pain but you will probably have to go to the vendor's website to get the drivers. | 03:36 |
| Jagst3r15 | linux....im trying to figure out this annoying popping sound on my dell :c | 03:37 |
| jpmorgan | debugnet, just got a list of files in the boot directory but no files ize or permissions | 03:37 |
| sandyd | jpmorgan: try ls -l /boot | 03:37 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| sandyd | pastebinit | 03:37 |
| debugnet | jpmorgan: ...-l is flag to tell it long list | 03:37 |
| Snowie | Miguelito, hmm. can you try closing the browser and testing it with another app? just play a track in rythmbox or something. at least to rule out it's the app changing it back, however unlikey that seems | 03:37 |
| lefty_ | I need help.! | 03:39 |
| sandyd | !help | lefty_ | 03:39 |

| lefty_ | Cause I have no idea. What to do. | 03:39 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: so im installing ubuntu now.... :D | 03:39 |

| sandyd | hungray32, woot! | 03:39 |
| KRomeleoN | what is the best debian based dstro without unity? i like ubuntu but i also like gnome 3.4 | 03:39 |
| Jagst3r15 | sandyd would it be http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 for LINUX driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x | 03:39 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: thanks so much...ive been stuck with win7 running ubuntu in a vm forever now | 03:39 |
| lefty_ | I think I just installed ubuntu through the cd | 03:40 |
| sandyd | hungray32, you will have to set the boot options in grub after the install | 03:40 |
| jthan | KRomeleoN: Why not just disable unity or use Debian 6? | 03:40 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: how do I do that? | 03:40 |
| lefty_ | it ejected the disc then it said to remove it and hit enter i did just that. and it booted into windows. now i don't know how i would boot into ubuntu | 03:40 |

| hungray32 | sandyd: ok then what? | 03:41 |
| jthan | n1ckn4me09876543: What image are you trying to use? | 03:41 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: ah. just type noapic? | 03:41 |
| sandyd | yes | 03:41 |
| sandyd | make sure there is a space | 03:41 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: at the end of which boot option? | 03:41 |
| sandyd | I remember when I forgot once... and screwed up my boots | 03:41 |
| sandyd | at the end of the line that starts with linux | 03:41 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | jthan: ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso 735.4 Mb | 03:41 |
| lefty_ | sandyd: any ideas? | 03:41 |
| sandyd | after you successfully boot, do this | 03:42 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: I will remember that, thanks | 03:42 |
| sandyd | nano /etc/default/grub | 03:42 |
| jthan | n1ckn4me09876543: Mine is showing up much smaller when I click the download link | 03:42 |
| sandyd | go to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_default line, and add 'noapic' (without quotes) to the end, with a space, before the double quotes | 03:42 |
| jthan | n1ckn4me09876543: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=lts | 03:42 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: i can do that now you mean? | 03:42 |
| sandyd | and there should be a sudo in front of the nano | 03:42 |
| sandyd | hungray32, you are still in the live install cd | 03:42 |
| hungray32 | sandyd: yes | 03:43 |
| urgodfather | will someone running 32 bit convert a driver for me? | 03:43 |
| sandyd | that will only chage the live install settings, not the installation settings | 03:43 |

| tensorpudding | is there something wrong with ubuntu wine? it doesn't seem to support audio output out of the box | 03:49 |

| Laice | hey, was playing around with multimonitor earlier and since it's defaulted to unity 2d (even if i specifically select unity on login) while i'm using a single monitor, is there a way to force 3d? | 03:52 |
| lefty_ | jthan: It said it installed it. | 03:52 |
| biko | is there a driver for rio s10 mp3 player? | 03:53 |
| lefty_ | jthan: so i guess yes? it happened so fast. | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | lefty_: then you will probly need to install the grub-efi and setup efi in bios | 03:53 |
| jthan | sacarlson: HP uses an EFI now? | 03:53 |
| lefty_ | sacarlson: Can you point me in the right direction? | 03:53 |
| jthan | lefty_: how old is said HP? | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | jthan: some newer ones do yes | 03:53 |
| jthan | lefty_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 03:53 |

| Laice | reinstalled today though with no probs :) | 03:55 |
| BlackAngelPR | i hate UEFI LOL i was in need to restart windows one time as well | 03:55 |
| jthan | I don't know what's wrong with a nice BIOS :-p | 03:55 |

| lefty_ | jthan: thanks. | 03:55 |

| lefty_ | jthan: So i have to be ubunto to do this? | 03:57 |

| ignoredthoughts | is there a simple way to remove a driver for a network battery and reinstall it in lubuntu? | 03:58 |
| lefty_ | sacarlson: ? | 03:58 |
| sacarlson | lefty_: read the link above for details | 03:59 |
| ignoredthoughts | I'm getting the error that the Battery is Charging (0%) yet won't actually charge | 04:00 |
| jthan | lefty_: yes | 04:00 |
| ignoredthoughts | i had an issue where one of the connectors got bent on the netbook's battery but i thought i fixed it | 04:00 |
| ignoredthoughts | unfortunately it won't read, realizes that there is a battery there | 04:00 |
| ignoredthoughts | but it won't charge | 04:00 |
| sacarlson | ignoredthoughts: I think I've seen some bat charge calibration article, seems they just fully dischanger then charge? | 04:00 |
| ignoredthoughts | and can't read info from it | 04:00 |
| ignoredthoughts | there's some info that a bat will brick if discharged too low | 04:01 |
| lefty_ | ok so have to boot back into live cd brb | 04:01 |
| ignoredthoughts | i bought a replacement but i don't know when it will come and i'm hoping that I can find a way around it | 04:01 |
| ignoredthoughts | there was some nonsense about tapping on a fan near the charger or depleting the MB's bat | 04:01 |
| ignoredthoughts | i've tried everything short of reinstalling the driver for the battery | 04:02 |
| jthan | lefty_: Real quick question | 04:02 |
| ignoredthoughts | which makes sense because it doesn't recognize the batter for the most part | 04:02 |
| ignoredthoughts | i've tried using aspi | 04:02 |
| ignoredthoughts | acpi or whatever | 04:02 |
| ignoredthoughts | i was forced to update via the command line as well | 04:02 |
| ignoredthoughts | will an upgrade/update reinstall drivers? | 04:02 |

| jthan | Never tried it myself, just wanted to throw it out there. | 04:46 |
| gorgapor | also, the usb booting stick i made doesn't seem to work even on another windows machine | 04:47 |
| jthan | Well that could be an issue, perhaps. | 04:47 |
| gorgapor | it just says "no operating system found" or something. | 04:47 |
| gorgapor | i've spent like 6 hours on this | 04:47 |
| gorgapor | also, other suggestions for sources of help would be welcome | 04:48 |
| jthan | You are sure that either one of the computers support booting via USB? | 04:48 |
| gorgapor | yes, the other computer has a very obvious option for booting from usb | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | gorgapor: also what did you use to install the iso file onto the usb flash drive? | 04:48 |
| gorgapor | unetbootin | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | gorgapor: well that should work | 04:48 |
| gorgapor | yeah, and i made sure it was a master boot record partition | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | gorgapor: md5sum the iso file? | 04:49 |
| gorgapor | sure, i can check that real quick | 04:49 |
| gorgapor | yeah md5sum matches | 04:50 |
| gorgapor | would the alternate install cd give me any other options? | 04:50 |
| jthan | Not really. Not if you can't boot it :-p | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | gorgapor: I didn't know you needed to specify the mbr of the usb just the device | 04:50 |
| gorgapor | sacarlson: basically you have to format the usb stick to use mbr not guid | 04:51 |
| jthan | gorgapor: if you run fdisk on the USB device is the bootable flag set? Been there done that before. | 04:51 |
| gorgapor | jthan: i'll check, hold on | 04:51 |

| Altan | Could you open a private chat with me? I don't want to spam up the chat here. | 05:41 |
| Booqaneer | What IRC client do you guys use? | 05:45 |
| bkerensa | Altan: you can paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 05:45 |
| sunshinehappy | why is the ubuntu repo so slow? I am only getting 10 kb/s | 05:45 |
| sunshinehappy | oh it's gone up a bit now though | 05:46 |
| shadowmilk11 | Could I get some help with something? | 05:46 |
| sunshinehappy | with what? | 05:46 |
| shadowmilk11 | Well, I am trying to burn an ISO from a CD using Brasero. | 05:47 |
| shadowmilk11 | But, I am missing some packages, so I apt-get them, yet they don't show up. | 05:48 |
| sunshinehappy | You might be able to burn it more easily with a different program | 05:48 |
| shadowmilk11 | I thought about that, but Brasero already came with synaptic. | 05:48 |
| plustax | question. I have win7 and ubuntu dual boot. I want to wipe the whole computer and put an 32 bit version of win7 on it instead of the 64 I have. Its giving me android sdk issues. I just put the windows disc in and im good right? | 05:49 |
| shadowmilk11 | If you have formatted the disk, yes plustax. | 05:50 |
| SwedeMike | plustax: yes, just delete all partitions and re-create in the windows installer. | 05:50 |
| plustax | okay thank you! | 05:50 |
| wiherek | hi | 05:51 |
| shadowmilk11 | Ok, are there any ISO creators that anyone recommends? | 05:51 |
| wiherek | I am getting this error: unity_support_test crashed with SIGSEGV in xcb_glx_query_server_string_string_length() | 05:52 |
| r00t__ | Hey guys...is there any way I can configure ubuntu to kill all connections to the internet if my vpn disconnects? | 05:52 |
| shadowmilk11 | When doing what exactly? | 05:52 |
| Booqaneer | @wiherek Doesn't 12.04 come with Brasero? | 05:52 |
| wiherek | after starting | 05:52 |
| bkerensa | wiherek: you will need to report a bug | 05:52 |
| wiherek | did that | 05:53 |
| wiherek | or maybe not yet actually | 05:53 |
| edwinkcw | shadowmilk11: Brasero? | 05:53 |
| bkerensa | wiherek: What release are you running? | 05:53 |
| wiherek | (just used the autotool | 05:53 |
| shadowmilk11 | It does, and I am actually running BackTrack, but I still have Brasero. The trouble is it is missing packages that I cannot get. | 05:53 |
| r00t__ | ? | 05:54 |
| bkerensa | !derivatives | shadowmilk11 | 05:54 |
| ubottu | shadowmilk11: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 05:54 |
| Booqaneer | @shadowmilk11 Have you tried installing Synaptic package manager? | 05:54 |
| Booqaneer | It'll check for broken packages and fix them automatically. | 05:54 |
| shadowmilk11 | I have the package manager. | 05:54 |
| shadowmilk11 | This is actually how I downloaded Brasero. | 05:55 |
| sunshinehappy | Is anyone else finding the ubuntu repos very slow at the moment? | 05:56 |
| sunshinehappy | I am wondering why they are only giving me 30 kb/ | 05:56 |
| sunshinehappy | s | 05:56 |
| StarryNight | yea | 05:56 |
| sunshinehappy | is there something happening? any idea where to find more information about it? | 05:57 |
| Booqaneer | sudo apt-get remove --purge <package> | 05:57 |
| Booqaneer | sudo apt-get clean | 05:57 |
| Booqaneer | Try that and reinstall? | 05:57 |
| shadowmilk11 | From the package manager or the shell? | 05:57 |
| bkerensa | sunshinehappy: you can change your mirror in update manager to a faster mirror that is closer to you | 05:57 |
| Booqaneer | @sunshinehappy Try doing a speedtest of your connection. Maybe it's not the server? | 05:57 |
| Booqaneer | @shadowmilk11 Commandline | 05:58 |
| omid | hey everybody, is it possible to install ubuntu 12.04 DVD via wubi inside windows? | 05:58 |
| shadowmilk11 | Ok, I will go and try, one question though, what does the "clean" do? never used it. | 05:58 |
| Booqaneer | @shadowmilk11 It removes downloaded archive files. | 05:59 |
| shadowmilk11 | Ok, thanks | 05:59 |
| shadowmilk11 | brb | 05:59 |
| Booqaneer | If you do a "man apt-get" (no quotes) in the terminal it has more info on what commands you can use. | 05:59 |
| DotarSojat | shadowmilk1, if those commands doesnt work, try " sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq " command | 06:00 |
| blackshirt | what is /etc/init.d/sandbox for? | 06:01 |
| DotarSojat | anyone have tried Wubi migration script? | 06:01 |
| omid | Hey folks, I've downloaded ubuntu 12.04 DVD and wubi setup, is it possible to install ubuntu DVD via Wubi (and not normal desktop CD)? | 06:01 |
| blackshirt | migration script? | 06:01 |
| blackshirt | Is'there one? | 06:02 |
| shadowmilk11 | Ok, I am installing now. | 06:02 |
| DotarSojat | yes, to migrate wubi install to partition | 06:02 |
| DotarSojat | google it :D | 06:02 |
| blackshirt | i think that was possible | 06:02 |
| wilee-nilee | omid, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 06:03 |
| shadowmilk11 | Lol, isn't that why most of us are here? We could not find what we wanted on Google -_- | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmilk11: you'd be suprised | 06:03 |
| DotarSojat | haha yes | 06:04 |
| omid | I'm here because Google did not help ;) | 06:04 |
| Booqaneer | @shadowmilk11 Did it work? | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | omid: try duckduckgo then :D | 06:04 |
| Booqaneer | I wonder what the average technical level is of an Ubuntu user? | 06:04 |
| shadowmilk11 | Seconded. Although I am new, I like the idea where everyone know what I am talking about..xDD | 06:04 |
| Booqaneer | Are we all engineers? | 06:04 |
| DotarSojat | lol, duckduckgo! i use it on Midori | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Booqaneer: define 'engineer' | 06:04 |
| blackshirt | newbie ...just a migration user from ws | 06:05 |
| Booqaneer | Write code for hobby or profession? | 06:05 |
| Booqaneer | Oh cool, welcome! | 06:05 |
| shadowmilk11 | Hobby, I am only 13 lol | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Booqaneer: then I'm not an engineer as I don't code | 06:05 |
| DotarSojat | im a physician | 06:05 |

| ubottu | Booqaneer, please see my private message | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Booqaneer: I manage data centres (plural) | 06:07 |
| DotarSojat | so anyone have tried WubiMigrate script? (migrate wubi to partition) | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Booqaneer: its offtopic though | 06:07 |
| Booqaneer | Sounds like an important job. | 06:07 |
| Booqaneer | I'm a lowly engineer. | 06:07 |
| bkerensa | Booqaneer: please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | DotarSojat: never tried wubi, the idea is nasty imho and it can be hard to work with | 06:08 |
| DotarSojat | i see, thanks ActionParsnip | 06:08 |
| shadowmilk11 | @Booqaneer I get the same error -_- | 06:08 |
| Booqaneer | @bkerensa Sure, thanks. | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | ive mounted the wubi drive image file from a normal linux install ;) i recall. | 06:08 |
| shadowmilk11 | Any ideas? | 06:09 |
| Booqaneer | Hmm, maybe someone else can help? It's getting pretty late here :-) | 06:09 |
| shadowmilk11 | Ok, thanks for the try anyway. | 06:09 |
| DotarSojat | still having problemas shadowmilk1 ? broken packages? | 06:09 |
| DotarSojat | have u tried " sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq " command | 06:09 |
| shadowmilk11 | No, I am trying to use Brasero to create an ISO. | 06:09 |
| pengw | yes | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmilk11: an ISO of what/ | 06:10 |
| pengw | i want to play gens | 06:10 |
| shadowmilk11 | An XP OS. So I can run in VirtualBox | 06:10 |
| pengw | i want to play genesis game | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: check plydeb | 06:10 |
| pengw | ok | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: I told you this earlier | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | 'playdeb' ;_) | 06:11 |
| Altan | Could anyone help me compile and install a driver? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmilk11: I don'tthink you can just ISO an NTFS partition and boot it in Vbox | 06:11 |
| pengw | i think it usually has a GENS/GS emulator in the software center | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmilk11: there is a method you can use to boot an installed OS in virtualbox though | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | pengw: try an 'apt-cache search emulator' and see whats there. | 06:11 |
| shadowmilk11 | ActionParsnip: I am creating from a CD that I have, in theory it should work. The problem has to do with Brasero. | 06:11 |

| jalal | i need help bro | 06:13 |
| Altan | Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card? | 06:13 |

| ActionParsnip | brettJames_: how did you install Ubuntu? | 06:22 |
| brettJames_ | Do I just reformat the drive from inside windows or will windows not find it | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | brettJames_: use gparted, delete the partions. repartition as needed.. | 06:22 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, , what should I do about that? | 06:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=autoconf.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any | 06:22 |
| pengw | i got it | 06:22 |
| pengw | thx | 06:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: you could symlink I guess, could get messy. What are you compiling anyway? | 06:23 |
| xjkx | On gnome there is this Suspend button, but I want to use it on Openbox, how do I call it manually ? I tried googling they told me to install pmi software, but when I ran it, it said I had not enough swap memory, and froze the system...on Gnome way it just works | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pengw: but why did I have to tell you 3 times? | 06:23 |
| brettJames_ | Ok, I have 3 hard drives. Hard Drive 1 is an SSD, Hard Drive 2 is a 2TB Storage Drive, and Hard Drive 3 is a 1.5TB Drive that I installed ubuntu on to play around with it. I burn ubuntu to a disk to do this. I also made sure I installed the bootloader on Hard Drive 3 with Ubuntu so it doesnt interfere with windows boot loader. | 06:23 |
| Bitgod | what version of x does ubuntu 12.04 LTS use | 06:23 |

| brettJames_ | It is not set as my primary boot drive or anything | 06:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: run: which X | 06:25 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, will this mess with any other drivers I have installed? | 06:25 |
| Bitgod | atek@atek-desktop:~$ which X | 06:25 |
| Bitgod | buut i need version | 06:25 |
| Bitgod | to do the driver | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: then run: X -version | 06:26 |
| Bitgod | i did | 06:26 |
| Bitgod | it failed | 06:26 |
| brettJames_ | anyone? | 06:26 |

| Altan | ActionParsnip, I get extremely low speeds when connected to an n network | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | which one is my X-server version :( | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | eGTouch daemon driver ( Recommended ) | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | Requested: | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | 1. Kernel version must be from 2.6.24 to upwards. | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | 2. X-server version must be from 1.7.6 to upwards. | 06:31 |
| FloodBot1 | Bitgod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: X.Org X Server 1.11.3 | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: then disable the N speed in the driver and you'll be fine | 06:31 |
| Bitgod | ok so i beat the requirements | 06:31 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, lucky for me I have both, one as an extended connection, but it would be much more optimum to be able to connect to the n network | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: how fast is your internet connection? | 06:32 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, 20 down 2 up | 06:32 |
| Bitgod | ActionParsnip | 06:32 |
| Bitgod | last question | 06:32 |
| brettJames_ | N network normally doesn't have as good of a signal/speed even though it is supposed to. | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: well G speed is more than double that | 06:32 |
| Bitgod | how do i uninstall a driver | 06:32 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, not when the router is more than 30 feet away | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: the question is so vague it is worthless. If you can give more detail it will help | 06:33 |
| Bitgod | like i need to remove the current installed eGalaxDriver | 06:33 |
| brettJames_ | G > N in almost all situations.. the only thing N is good for is multimedia devices like dvd players streaming netflix, etc.. | 06:33 |
| Bitgod | so i can start over | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: did you buy the card extra for the system? | 06:33 |
| Altan | Bitgod, I believe it would be 'sudo apt-get remove 'driver | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: how did you install it? | 06:33 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, I need it for wireless networking | 06:34 |
| brettJames_ | Hmm so can anyone help me with my uninstall question? | 06:34 |
| Bitgod | ActionParsnip: tar.gz | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: yes but is it extra to the system or was it already in there? | 06:34 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, it is extra | 06:34 |
| Bitgod | ActionParsnip: extr | 06:34 |
| Bitgod | a | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: ok was it source or binaries in the archive, saying its a compressed archive doesn't tell us much | 06:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Altan: why didn't you check it was going to work before buying? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: the redownload and check would be a logical path to take...right> | 06:35 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, it worked just fine on Windows :P | 06:35 |
| Bitgod | ok | 06:35 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, I just need to get the driver installed | 06:35 |
| Altan | Bitgod, | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: Windows has completely differnet support as it is a complately different OS | 06:35 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, the card has claimed support for Linux users, however I need some help installing it | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitgod: wouldn't you say? If you can't remember, re-download the file, wasn't that obvious? | 06:36 |
| Altan | Bitgod, I might be able to help | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: why didn't you buy a device known to work in Linux? | 06:37 |
| brettJames_ | Uninstalling linux, because I want to put it on another hard drive. Can I just wipe it from windows? | 06:37 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, it does, I just need a bit of help installing the drivers for it. I a fair bit new to Linux however. | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | brettJames_: sure if you used another partition use disk manager, you will need your Windows CD to reinstate the WIndows bootloader | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: ok one that works WELL | 06:38 |
| brettJames_ | Action I didn't use another partition on my windows boot drive. I installed linux ubuntu completely separate on a whole nother hard drive. | 06:38 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, I'm not exactly here to argue, I just need help diagnosing my problem | 06:38 |
| brettJames_ | So from within windows dick management I can just format the hard drive and im good right? all traces of linux gone on that HD? | 06:38 |
| brettJames_ | disk**** | 06:39 |
| Bitgod | LOL | 06:39 |
| brettJames_ | hahah | 06:39 |
| Altan | brettJames_, nice one. | 06:39 |
| brettJames_ | s is right near d haha | 06:39 |
| Altan | brettJames_, I'm sure you use that utility all the time ;) | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: its a civil question. I am searching at the same time | 06:39 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, hours of Googling were to no avail for me | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: you could symlink the file missing to the other kernel and it may work | 06:40 |
| brettJames_ | Hmm I just want to make sure I'm not going to screw anything up by formatting the hard drive ubuntu is on | 06:40 |
| Bitgod | brettJames_: but how did u get a C in there :P | 06:40 |

| ActionParsnip | Altan: you may need to drop back to the kernel with the file you need to make it work. I'd just take the card back and buy something with a Linux friendly chip. Much easier | 06:51 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, alright, I'll see what I can do | 06:51 |

| somethinginteres | Hi all, I notice that Chromium in the Ubuntu SC is v18 but v20 came out yesterday, is there an official PPA to keep Chromium updated when new stable builds come out? I am not too keen on daily builds. | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: do you mean Chrome, not chromium? | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: I'm using Chrome at version 20.0.1132.43 so Chromium will be a later number.. | 07:09 |
| Robr3rd | Using Ubuntu 12.04, whenever I attempt to access a file over FTP with an editor (the editor matters not), I get the error, "Could not open file [filename]. (Transport endpoint is not connected.)" | 07:09 |
| gtroy | (Transport endpoint is not connected.)" | 07:09 |
| gtroy | sorry was about to google that | 07:09 |
| tedryder | What is going on? | 07:10 |
| tedryder | What is this ubuntu? | 07:10 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: are you acessing a different filesystem? | 07:10 |
| fidel | tedryder: a linux based operating system/distribution ;) | 07:11 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: precise | 07:11 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, Yes, it is a different system. | 07:11 |
| fidel | tedryder: in case you want a long definition - i am pretty sure noone inhere will have that better then wikipedia | 07:11 |
| gtroy | all ports good and everything? | 07:12 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: "chromium-browser 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1" from the software centre | 07:12 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, It used to work fine and I've not changed anything between when it functioned and when it stopped, so I would assume so. | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: its only just come out, I'd give it a while to make it into the repo | 07:12 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: ok | 07:13 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, I'm connecting to FTP on Port 21 (if that matters) -- the default | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: why do you need the new one so badly? | 07:13 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: can you unmount sshfs and remount the drive? | 07:13 |
| gtroy | http://kuttler.eu/post/sshfs-transport-endpoint-not-connecte/ | 07:13 |
| yuka | have problem.. since today morning i cant login to ubuntu 11.10.. when i type my password i see black thingie for quick sec and then it goes back to login screen | 07:13 |
| gtroy | if you are indeed using sshfs | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: tried a different session? like Unity2D? | 07:14 |
| yuka | i only have ubuntu and ubuntu2d | 07:14 |
| yuka | i tried both.. however all my process are working normally , like apache2 and samba | 07:14 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: are you using sshfs? | 07:14 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: understandable. I recognise such things take time but v19 still hasn't landed in the repo either. No specific reason other than wanting to keep things up to date. | 07:14 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, I'm assuming sshfs == the system I am connecting to? | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: they will always run and are seperate to the desktop | 07:14 |
| abhinav_debugger | hi........we just installed xchat..... its working in mine, but not in my friend's vaio laptop.. its not giving the channel selection option.........please help | 07:14 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: if you don't know, I'm assuming not | 07:15 |
| yuka | ActionParsnip however if i login with other username.. i can login but i dont see any toolbar on left or so | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: then if you have no specific reason, why are you so bothered. It will get there eventually. You could report a bug if you wanted but I doubt it will do much at all | 07:15 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, All I know is, I'm using the "Connect to server..." setting on Nautilus, going with all the default options, with the only options changed being the "Type" to "FTP (with login) | 07:15 |
| gtroy | ok, something is up with the filesystem mounting | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: is your user the owner of all of it's data and do all partitions have more than 10% free space | 07:16 |
| yuka | yes | 07:16 |
| yuka | more then that even | 07:16 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: I don't know, I believe it has to do with the server side | 07:16 |
| yuka | it was all fine, this all happened all of sudden | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: have you checked the ownerships? | 07:16 |
| yuka | i am sure its fine.. | 07:16 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, *nods* alright, so there's not much I can do from my end | 07:16 |
| gtroy | might need a fsck, or a remount | 07:16 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: see above | 07:16 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, I've tried unmounting and remounting a number of times | 07:17 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: that would be on the server side | 07:17 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: I am not bothered by it per se. I do find it strange that a whole version has been skipped. Figured something might be up. 2 new major version numbers indicate I am missing out on "something" one would suspect. | 07:17 |
| yuka | everything was normal untill i noticed i cant print on the printer thats connected to this server and shared via samba | 07:17 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, I can't fsck because the destination is a Shared webhosting server to which I do not have that kind of access to. | 07:17 |
| yuka | so i wanted to login to ubuntu to check whats goin on | 07:17 |
| Altan | Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card? I'm getting an error when running a make - http://pastebin.com/QTUg9QQM | 07:17 |
| Altan | oops | 07:17 |
| gtroy | Robr3rd: I see, I would call the webhosting admin | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: the services you are naming will run regardless of the desktop situation, they are daemons so it doesn't matter that you cannot login to them, it's not a test of anthing ecept that they get started | 07:18 |
| Robr3rd | gtroy, *nods* Alright, thank you very much. :) | 07:18 |
| gtroy | hope it works quickly for you | 07:18 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, how do you go about installing Quantal LiveCD | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: if you make a fresh ubutu user and login, is the session ok? | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: I don't suggest you install it, just use it to see if the wifi is ok there | 07:19 |
| yuka | i am gonna try | 07:19 |
| Altan | ActionParsnip, is it possible i can revert back to the old kernel? | 07:20 |
| yuka | no | 07:21 |
| yuka | i just made test user and its same | 07:21 |
| yuka | there is only one user from before | 07:21 |
| yuka | which works to login to desktop | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Altan: hold shift at boot and select the old kernel | 07:22 |
| yuka | but its really weird because, when i login to that user i come to desktop, and desktop is clean, there is no toolbar on left there is no system settings etc up no lan icons and stuff.. only one toolbar file edit view go bookmarks help which doesent help me to find anything | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: then its the apps, not your user settings having issue | 07:22 |

| Kartagis | but you still need someone to allow you to vnc in by setting the appropriate options | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | pndemc_: why not just install the desktop OS if that's what you intend? The whole idea of the server OS is to be desktopless | 07:35 |

| mtrd` | Hi ! i'm currently doing the update from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04, i'm asked to help to configure libc6. It asks me to restart : rsync, cups, cron, atd. How can i do that ? Is it normal ? | 08:06 |
| gaelfx | is it normal when making an iso with Brasero for the drive to spin up but not report speed or progress? | 08:08 |
| gaelfx | test | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | moo | 08:09 |
| khussein78 | i need to allow google chrome to open .jnlp files automatically, i read some articles but it seems it is complicated, is there a way to change open with to custom command | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelfx: could use dd instead... | 08:10 |
| iceroot | mtrd`: for a new version of libc6 there is only a complete restart | 08:10 |
| gaelfx | khussein78: can you right-click the file and set the Open With application? | 08:10 |
| iceroot | mtrd`: for a new libc6, kernel and dbus package you always need a complete reboot | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mtrd`you can only upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. You can then upgrade to 12.04 | 08:11 |
| gaelfx | ActionParsnip: I got some kind of i/o error when I tried DD | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelfx: try dd_rescue then, sounds like a bad CD or bad drive | 08:11 |
| mtrd` | iceroot, i clicked forward and it seems to go well. A system restart is scheduled, thanks :) | 08:11 |
| mtrd` | gaelfx, okay, i was not sure about versions! thanks :) | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | gaelfx: you are making a iso file from a real cd? or the other way around? | 08:12 |
| gaelfx | I have a feeling it's my SATA on the mb that's a problem, I can't have 2 devices connected or neither work, but the thing is I can play the VCD in SMPlayer just fine (though VLC seems to have a problem with it) | 08:12 |
| gaelfx | dr_willis: iso from CD | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | gaelfx: and its just some VCD, not a comercial DVD or gamedisk or anything weird.. | 08:13 |
| jaymah | anna | 08:13 |
| gaelfx | is there any way to get more info about the error in dd? would it be in the syslogs? | 08:14 |
| yuka | guys | 08:14 |
| gaelfx | dr_willis: correct, just a VCD my taiji teacher gave me | 08:14 |

| dr_willis | gaelfx: id try some video ripper tool to rip it to video file format, not a full ISO. it may report better info on the error if it cant read it. dmesg command output may menton any erroirs also. | 08:15 |
| gaelfx | dr_willis: ok, I'll try that then, thanks | 08:15 |
| gaelfx | any suggestions for what to rip it with? | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | dozens of tools in the repos. | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | arista, winff, handbreak | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | many more i cant rember the names of that can rip dvds also. | 08:16 |
| gaelfx | which would you say has the nicest gui? :D | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | gui dosent matter.. its how well it works that matters | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: try not hitting ENtER after every 3rd word | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | fire up package manager search for dvd rip, or rip. or video encode | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !rip | 08:18 |
| ubottu | For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelfx: i believe vlc can make videos of DVDs etc | 08:18 |
| guest-Ve37p0 | can't log in after upgrade to 12.04 | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: if it does, just restore settings etc from bsckup | 08:19 |
| gaelfx | ActionParsnip: yeah, but like I said, VLC has problems reading it for some reason, so I don't think it'll work too well | 08:19 |

| DJones | !manual | _Ethan_ | 08:24 |
| ubottu | _Ethan_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 08:24 |

| DJones | !terminal | _Ethan_ The last link on this info should be useful as well, | 08:25 |
| ubottu | _Ethan_ The last link on this info should be useful as well,: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:25 |
| juniour | _Ethan_ use man to know detail about command | 08:25 |
| shredding | Or how do I make it accessible? I get "Unknown job" on call. | 08:26 |
| khussein78 | gaelfx, right but i cannot find my application there, how can i added it | 08:27 |
| Pinsent | what is the logic behind naming the hard disks sda sda1 sda2 and sda5? | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | scsi drive A, scsi drive B and so forthe... hdX would be the older ide drives.. but i think they use the sd# names now a days allso | 08:29 |
| dr_willis | !blkid | 08:29 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 08:29 |
| Pinsent | ok the cipher is the parition | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: sda1, sda2 and sda5 aren't hard disks | 08:29 |
| Pinsent | but why does it skip 3 and 4? | 08:29 |
| Pinsent | ActionParsnip? | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | it dosent skip them. | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: you can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive | 08:30 |
| hydralisque | samut | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | primary partions are 1 through 5 | 08:30 |
| hydralisque | salut | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | primary partions are 1 through 4 | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | 5 would be a logical on an extgended partition | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: these are named sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4 | 08:30 |
| Pinsent | ActionParsnip not on my PC they're not | 08:30 |
| cell0 | What should one do when their second display just stops working? Display manager doesn't detect the display even though it's plugged in (and worked a few hours ago) | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: the exteded partition is always sda5 and the first logical partition is sda6 | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: sda is the drive itself | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | if they were all primaries they would be ;) | 08:31 |
| zalgor | Hello. I have a problem with the '127.0.1.1 hostname' line in /etc/hosts and some programs. I modified a script for if-up.d (found via www) to delete the 127.0.1.1 line and add a typical 'IP hostname' entry. It seems to work. But I am just asking if there is not a different mechanism (a ubuntu solution) to handle this problem. | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: if you have all primary partitions you will have sda[1-4] only | 08:31 |
| Pinsent | what's the difference between a primary parition and an extended parition? | 08:31 |
| Pinsent | partition * | 08:32 |
| hydralisque | bonjour a til des français??? | 08:32 |
| dr_willis | time to check the wikipedia entry on drive partioning... | 08:32 |
| Pinsent | !fr | 08:32 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: extended partitions hold logical partitions so you can have more than 4 partitions on a drive | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: the actual speed and storage etc is the same, its just how they are handled | 08:32 |
| iceroot | i have two users with the same password, both have different hashes in /etc/shadow. why? i cant find any info about a salt in that context | 08:33 |
| scarleo | Hi, Update manager reports that package information was last updated 7 days ago even thoough I've manuall checked it today, why and what can I do? | 08:33 |
| zalgor | iceroot, usually there is a salt. look man 5 passwd | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: same in Windows. People think 'C drive' is a drive, but it's not, its a partition. If you partition a single drive into 2 you will get a 'c drive' and a 'd drive' when there is infact only one drive, just 2 partitions | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | ok | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | but one question: why do I get this? | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | I cannot | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | sudo mount -o dev,rw /dev/sda2 ohs2 | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | NTFS signature is missing. | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a | 08:34 |
| FloodBot1 | Pinsent: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:34 |
| iceroot | zalgor: nothing but its the german mangage. salt and salz are not matching in the manpage-search | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: is the partition healthy? | 08:34 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as LEbby | ||
| === LEbby is now known as Lebby | ||
| Pinsent | can I talk? | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: and please use a pastebin in future | 08:34 |
| Pinsent | the partition is healthy yes | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: yes you can talk | 08:35 |
| iceroot | zalgor: man crypt :) there it is | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: when did you last chkdsk the pasrtition? | 08:35 |
| Pinsent | I don't remember | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | pastebin output of 'sudo fdisk -l' Pinsent | 08:35 |
| zalgor | iceroot, yes, I just found it too :-) | 08:35 |
| iceroot | salt is a two-character string chosen from the set [a–zA–Z0–9./]. This string is used to perturb the algorithm in one of 4096 different ways. | 08:35 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, i'm doing nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 which shows all up ips. Can I just get the actual IP? rather than host .. is up (... latency) and so on? | 08:35 |
| Pinsent | I want to install 12.04 over everything | 08:35 |
| Pinsent | I just wanted to check if there were any files on sda2 and sda5 | 08:35 |
| Pinsent | and then there is sda, what is that? | 08:35 |
| Pinsent | let me try mounting the other partitions | 08:36 |
| iceroot | zalgor: ah, salt is the UID | 08:36 |
| Pinsent | sda5 is swap space | 08:36 |
| iceroot | salt is a character string starting with the characters "$id$" followed by a string terminated by "$": | 08:37 |
| Pinsent | and I don't have a valid NTFS for sda2 | 08:37 |
| taquter | Excuse me, I have an Ubuntu-related question. | 08:37 |
| taquter | How to shot web?? | 08:37 |
| dr_willis | shot web means? | 08:38 |
| Pinsent | ActionParsnip sorry for rambling | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: I suggest you boot to a Windows system and chkdsk it | 08:40 |
| lilian | ja | 08:40 |
| Pinsent | ActionParsnip it says sda5 is used as swap space, that's normal, right? | 08:40 |
| Pinsent | nothing valuable can be on it | 08:40 |
| === Sir` is now known as Pekc | ||
| dr_willis | !swap | 08:41 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 | grep 192 | awk {'print $5'} | 08:41 |
| Pinsent | what does it mean if your device has no valid NTFS? | 08:42 |
| dr_willis | means it dosent think the filesystem is a NTFS. either you did a typo. or its a messed up ntfs | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: i believe in a default install, yes but you may have setup partitions yourself. You can check with: sudo parted -l | 08:42 |
| noriaki | hello | 08:43 |
| Pinsent | normally if you have sda sda1 sda2 and sda5 everything is stored on sda1 right? | 08:43 |
| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||
| === Pekc is now known as Sir | ||
| Pinsent | what is sdb? | 08:43 |
| dr_willis | Pinsent: depends on how you set upo the disk and system | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: again, depends how you setup the partitions, there is no set rule | 08:43 |
| noriaki | no | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: sdb is a 2nd physical drive | 08:43 |
| Pinsent | but it is not inside my PC now! | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: what isn't!? | 08:44 |
| Pinsent | my 2nd drive! | 08:44 |
| noriaki | sdb? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: are you booting to ubuntu from USB? | 08:44 |
| Pinsent | no from a live cd | 08:44 |
| Pinsent | and now I want to install it | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: you can see what it is with: sudo fdisk -l | 08:44 |
| lilian_ | can someone explain in details the Linus law"Many eyes make all bigs shadow" | 08:45 |
| dr_willis | you may wnt to pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l also pin | 08:45 |
| Pinsent | W95 FAT32? | 08:45 |
| Pinsent | what is that? | 08:45 |
| dr_willis | Pinsent: a fat32 partition.... | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: not obvious? | 08:46 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, i'm doing nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 which shows all up ips. Can I just get the actual IP? rather than host .. is up (... latency) and so on? | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: I replied to that... | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | AdvoWork: pipe the output through awk, or some grep lines or perl code to filter it how you want | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | (09:41:56) ActionParsnip: AdvoWork: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 | grep 192 | awk {'print $5'} | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: did you not see that? | 08:48 |
| Pinsent | there is one floppy disk drive in my pc, is that it? | 08:48 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, i'd scrolled up the window, i didn even then i'd asked the question lol. thankyou | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinsent: that will be /dev/fd0 | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | grep and awk.. 2 points.. now do it in python for extra credit. ;) | 08:48 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, that prints just (0.0076s etc no ip | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: my bashfu is only just getting better | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: change the number in the print to see different bits | 08:49 |
| Nurat | helloooow | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: works here but I'm using quantal so may be a factor | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | Awk-fu skills come in handy | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: working on it :) | 08:50 |
| Pinsent | I just opened my PC, it has only one physical hard drive in it and one floppy disk reader, how can there be sda and sdb? | 08:53 |
| CatsBacon[F][10] | why does removing isc-dhcp-client also ask to remove ubuntu-minimal | 08:53 |
| gaelfx | I would guess sda is the hard drive and sddb the floppy disk reader | 08:53 |
| CatsBacon[F][10] | and would that break anything | 08:53 |
| gaelfx | CatsBacon[F][10]: because ubuntu-minimal is a meta-package, and isc-dhcp-client is one of the packages that it installs (and therefore depends on) | 08:54 |
| Pinsent | fd0 is the floppy | 08:54 |
| gaelfx | CatsBacon[F][10]: it's shouldn't break anything, no | 08:55 |
| CatsBacon[F][10] | kthx/ | 08:55 |
| gaelfx | Pinsent: sudo fdisk -l should tell you what it is | 08:55 |
| chicognu | i have several partitions, they are /boot /system /swap /home, and I want encrypt it all! How i should do that ? | 08:56 |
| LenovoG470 | greetings, I use File Types Editor hoping to associate the Chromium icon with the plain html file type, but nothing happened | 08:57 |
| gaelfx | chicognu: it's traditional to just encrypt /home, there's not many reasons to encrypt anything else | 08:57 |
| chicognu | gaelfx, my schizophrenia won't let my /system and /boot unencrypted | 08:59 |
| chicognu | ;) | 08:59 |
| gaelfx | is it even possible to encrypt / ? I think it would be impossible to boot your system then | 08:59 |
| chicognu | gaelfx, truecrypt encrypt the hole drive in Windows, but not in Linux :( | 09:00 |

| dr_willis | hope it works.. ;) | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | disable hardware accelleration in flash settings if everyone looks blue. | 09:18 |
| Steven_O | i did nothing came up :( | 09:18 |
| geirha | What Ubuntu release are you using? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | wayne7: maverick is no longer supported | 09:19 |
| _Ethan_ | one last thing, i think im going to install ubuntu in a usb , any problem with 4 gb? | 09:20 |
| _Ethan_ | 16 gb ? | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | Id use at least a 8gb flashdrive. | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | 16 is very useable.. if yoou dont go overbord with stuff | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | and keep your apt cache clean ;) | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | can use autoclean then you have no worries :) | 09:21 |
| Steven_O | im not sure really where can i find the version i am using | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | !version | 09:22 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 09:22 |
| _Ethan_ | ok dr_willis , im concerned if there would be any problem with 32 gb | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Steven_O: in a terminal (Press CTRL+ALT+T to run one), run: lsb_release -sc what is output? | 09:22 |
| _Ethan_ | because if not, iĺl go for that | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | _Ethan_: thats tonnes of space dude, you'll be fine | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | _Ethan_: if 16 workd well.. 32 would be betterer ;) | 09:22 |
| _Ethan_ | yeah, but you know, sometimes you can have problems with access | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | if you controll yourself. | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | with access? Huh? | 09:23 |
| Steven_O | it says oneiric | 09:23 |
| _Ethan_ | i mean, sometimes i have seen things not working properly because they are "not normal", and i wanted to be sure of that, it seems it is ok | 09:23 |
| _Ethan_ | :) | 09:23 |
| _Ethan_ | with not normal i mean non-standard sorry | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | i run full installs from flash drives or extrernal usb hds all the time. | 09:23 |
| geirha | Steven_O: Hm. That's 11.10, the second newest release. It should have the adobe flash plugin available from the software center | 09:24 |
| _Ethan_ | dr_willis, do you use to run from ubuntu installed in usb ? | 09:25 |

| dr_willis | searxch for 'flash' should show it | 09:27 |

| _Ethan_ | geirha, would go slower isnt it ? | 09:30 |
| geirha | Possibly, but it's the easiest one | 09:30 |
| _Ethan_ | dr_willis, but in that case, wouldnt go with less performance than installing it in the laptop ? | 09:30 |
| _Ethan_ | mmm, ok | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | you want ease of removal... usb is about as easy as it gets | 09:30 |

| galacticboy | I know vlc plays anything. I mean the plugin of firefox plays flash video? | 09:41 |
| haryo | i have install GTA San Andreas | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | the plugin i use 'flashpluginreplacer' can also grab /convert the flash to other formats - not tried it on sitges other then youtube | 09:41 |
| haryo | and i run the GTA, and get this = http://www.indojpg.com/images/526Screenshot.png | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | galacticboy: the vlc plugin for ff is used by the flash video replacer plugin | 09:42 |
| haryo | sorry if i share photo link here | 09:42 |
| gaelfx | galacticboy: vlc plugin can play anything VLC can, but setting it up to be used for flash content is probably a little tricky | 09:42 |

| altan | pmo_, how would i go about that? sorry, i'm a bit new to linux still | 09:51 |
| gaelfx | altan: it might be best for you to find a card that you like first and then check to see if there are issues on forums or askubuntu | 09:51 |
| gaelfx | altan: you can also check it against that site I sent you, but as I said before, it's not the most up to date list | 09:51 |

| altan | of course not, but i hate waiting for stuff to ship | 09:56 |
| pmo_ | altan, if you found something really cheap and new, i would be suspicious about compatibility issue like 'soft modem' in the past, but drivers come pretty fast those days, was not the same in the past | 09:57 |
| gaelfx | altan you don't have to buuy it from newegg, you can just find the card you want there and go out and buy it tomorrow | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | gee if i buy 2 usb wifi dongles.. can i make them both work to give me moar speeds. ;) | 10:01 |
| gaelfx | dr_willis: I would certainly hope so | 10:02 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: no | 10:02 |
| gaelfx | aw | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | heh.... | 10:02 |
| jpds | dr_willis: Only one way to find out. | 10:02 |
| iceroot | because the ap can only handle 54mbit/s | 10:02 |
| gaelfx | that's it, let's work on this dual-usb wifi idea of yours and make it happen! | 10:03 |
| iceroot | and if twi devices use 54mbit/s you will not get 108mbit/s | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | my dongles are $8 ones.. i dont think they can handle 54mbit/s even together.. | 10:03 |
| iceroot | you need two different aps | 10:03 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: they are using the same channel | 10:03 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: that will reduce the quality for every dongle | 10:03 |
| jpds | iceroot: N wifi? | 10:03 |
| oupateddie | There was a google chrome update today in 11.10. Something must be wrong somewhere as Chrome browser does not launch since the update. Any news on this? | 10:03 |
| jpds | Anyway, not a support question. | 10:03 |
| avelldiroll | iceroot: a g but a n has got a theoritcal max speed of 300Mbps | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | i think my dongles are 150Mbps ones.. saw that # on the box. | 10:04 |
| gaelfx | ugh, don't get me started, my lappy has a/n, but apparently it's just draft n, so it maxes out at 65mbps | 10:04 |
| oupateddie | In the same light, how can one roll-back to the previous version of Chrome? | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | !pin | 10:05 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 10:05 |
| avelldiroll | gaelfx: you have to set up channel bonding in order to get 300Mbps | 10:06 |
| gaelfx | avelldiroll: no, this is an issue with the card | 10:06 |

| iceroot | jpds: then the ap can handle 300mbit/s on nwifi but not 2 x 54mbit/s on the other wifi standard | 10:07 |

| abeer | The thing is I had the pae kernel installed after I upgraded from beta and I installed the generic kernel today. | 11:49 |
| abeer | I want to make that into the default | 11:50 |
| jglauche | MonkeyDust, hm, synaptic tells it's installed actually | 11:50 |
| Shambat | I have a ubuntu server that has a partition at /mnt/data (backups etc live there) but now it starting to fill up. What is the best and safest way to allocate a little more space to this partition? | 11:51 |
| jglauche | apt-get says "1 not fully installed" and tries to dpkg - reconfigure it every time | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | jglauche try sudo apt-get -f install -f means fix | 11:52 |
| jglauche | MonkeyDust, won't work as the dpkg fails every time | 11:52 |
| MonkeyDust | hm | 11:52 |
| sacarlson | abeer: might want to install grub-customizer gui to make it easy to change default settings in grub | 11:53 |
| gaelfx | jglauche: did you try marking the offending package for reinstallation in Synaptic? | 11:55 |
| gaelfx | jglauche: or purging it and then reinstalling it? | 11:55 |
| jglauche | mark as what? | 11:55 |
| gaelfx | jglauche: mark it for reinstlallation | 11:55 |
| jglauche | what should that fix? | 11:55 |
| jglauche | the package is broken because it requires capifs which is not available with the newer kernel | 11:56 |
| jglauche | so reinstall won't help | 11:56 |
| jglauche | (i did try this before with apt) | 11:56 |
| gaelfx | how did you install this package? | 11:57 |
| jglauche | apt-get install capiutils | 11:57 |
| jglauche | how else? | 11:57 |
| jglauche | here's the pastebin of the failure http://pastebin.com/HNPuMvXm | 11:58 |
| jglauche | it's clearly a broken package | 11:59 |

| gaelfx | checked launchpad for this bug? bug 940531 | 12:00 |

| jglauche | gaelfx, saw it. | 12:01 |
| jglauche | but as it works, all I want to do is mark it as "completely installed" somehow. but I lack knowledge of apt to find it. | 12:02 |
| gaelfx | apt-mark? | 12:03 |

| jglauche | no :/ | 12:05 |

| pbjarting | Hi, I'm new. I have added an extra harddisk, but I have access since it belongs to System. how do i change to belong to me, Peter, Supervisor ? | 12:17 |
| jglauche | gaelfx, yes, that nailed it! | 12:18 |
| pbjarting | Hi, I'm new. I have added an extra harddisk, but I no have access since it belongs to System. how do i change it to belong to me, Peter, Supervisor ? | 12:18 |
| jglauche | thanks | 12:18 |
| sunshinehappy | pbjarting, I think if you right click into properties you can edit permissions, but it might not be the right thing for a hard disk | 12:19 |
| pbjarting | thanks but that will not work since it belongs to System. I have to get Root rights. How to do that ? | 12:19 |
| sunshinehappy | it should ask you for an admin password | 12:20 |
| pbjarting | Not a chance. There is noaccess since it belongs to the System. It is not the system drive, but an extra drive. | 12:21 |
| gaelfx | jglauche: did it work? | 12:22 |
| pbjarting | Guess I have to use some Sudo command to get the rights, but how ? | 12:22 |
| sunshinehappy | maybe sudo chmod | 12:22 |
| gaelfx | pbjarting: if you're doing it through nautilus, sudo nautilus will work | 12:22 |
| gaelfx | but be VERY careful with that | 12:23 |
| rumpe1 | and if so, please use gksudo nautilus, not sudo nautilus... | 12:23 |
| gaelfx | rumpe1: they both work, gksudo just pops up a window asking for password | 12:23 |
| pbjarting | thanks but what is the command. To get rights to a disk. It must be a common problem | 12:24 |
| rumpe1 | gaelfx, not just that. It also prevents some nasty side effects. | 12:24 |
| gaelfx | pbjarting: sorry, didn't read that well enough :P is this a drive you added via usb or to the SATA or what? | 12:25 |
| jnb | hello room | 12:26 |
| pbjarting | It is an internal driving connected via SATA. It is empty and working. I'm able to mount to it but do not have and write rights. | 12:26 |
| gaelfx | pbjarting: how are you planning on using it? | 12:27 |
| rumpe1 | gaelfx, "gksudo sets HOME=~root, and copies .Xauthority to a tmp directory. This prevents files in your home directory becoming owned by root" ... <- worst case: you block the whole desktop (afaik) | 12:27 |
| pbjarting | Ext 4 and as a backup disk | 12:27 |
| jnb | I need to install an application located in my download folder how do I install that | 12:27 |
| jnb | app with root privileges | 12:27 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, which (kind of) app? | 12:28 |
| sunshinehappy | jnb, it may be possible to open it with software center if its the right type | 12:28 |
| gaelfx | rumpe1: good to know | 12:28 |
| jnb | @sun how do I go about doing that I am new to linux | 12:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | pbjarting, To take over ownership, type sudo chown -R Peter:Peter /media/the_disk's_UUID This is assuming that Peter is your username. | 12:29 |
| rrrr | Hello! | 12:29 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, a "downloaded install-package" from anywhere on the web... could be nearly anything. There is no default way of installing that. you have to be specific. | 12:29 |
| gaelfx | pbjarting: then you might want to leave it as a system disk, unless you plan on backing up files by hand | 12:29 |
| pbjarting | Thanks I will try that. CUL BIBI | 12:29 |
| rrrr | How do I share a Ubuntu machine on a Windows network? Could someone help me on this please? | 12:29 |
| jnb | I had to install a printer application for linux in order to install my wireless printer via ip address | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | rrrr have you explored samba? | 12:30 |
| jnb | Ubuntu located the printer but doesn't have the correct drivers | 12:30 |
| rrrr | MonkeyDust, no, never. What is this? | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | rrrr type !samba to find out | 12:30 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, so you got the driver from the vendor? .. there should be some kind of install manual somewhere (from the vendor) | 12:31 |
| jnb | I installed the printer on my linux mint debian under a root account | 12:31 |
| gaelfx | rrrr: if you right-click the folder you want to share and select "Sharing Options" it should be available for Windows computers once you give it a name and whatnot | 12:31 |
| jnb | the manual is there and I know how to install | 12:31 |
| jnb | im told I need to have root privilidges | 12:31 |
| rrrr | gaelfx, I already did that, but I can't see it on windows side. | 12:31 |
| jnb | i know the commands su and sudo | 12:31 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, use "sudo" in front of the command for root privileges | 12:31 |
| gaelfx | rrrr: you might want to give guest access, unless this is an open network | 12:32 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, you know? ... hm... now I'm confused. What's the problem? | 12:32 |
| jnb | my problem is what command must i type in order to browse to my download folder and file | 12:32 |
| rrrr | gaelfx, I just don't see the machine name on windows. | 12:32 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, cd ~/Downloads; ls | 12:32 |
| MonkeyDust | rrrr have you asked for advice in ##windows? | 12:33 |
| jnb | the folder is located in download cdroot (folder) autorun (file) how do I enter that command with root privileges | 12:33 |
| rrrr | MonkeyDust, no. | 12:33 |
| MonkeyDust | rrrr type /join ##windows | 12:34 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, uh... spaces in file/dir-names... you have to escape them/use tab-completion. Example: cd download\ cd<hittabkey> | 12:34 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, or maybe just "cd down<tab>" | 12:34 |
| jnb | here is the path | 12:34 |
| jnb | home-download-cdroot-autorun | 12:35 |
| jnb | what is the dos command needed to run that file with root privileges | 12:35 |
| rumpe1 | there is no "DOS" | 12:35 |
| rumpe1 | and it's not a file but a sequence of directories i guess | 12:35 |
| jnb | thank you rumpel | 12:36 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, just go to the directory with the executable and execute it | 12:36 |
| jnb | i dont have root privileges | 12:36 |
| MonkeyDust | jnb what you call 'dos' is called 'cli' in linux | 12:36 |
| jnb | it stops me | 12:36 |
| jnb | thanks monkeydust | 12:36 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, simple solution for that: enter "sudo -i" and you will be root-like | 12:37 |
| jnb | thanks | 12:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | pbjarting, And, just for future reference, when elevating privileges in a GUI based app., such as Nautilus or Gedit, the command is gksudo, not sudo; for a further explanation please see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo. | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | rumpe1 advicing sudo -i to someone wo doesnt know what he's doing, is not a good idea | 12:38 |
| gaelfx | rrrr: did you restart after enabling the share? | 12:38 |
| rrrr | gaelfx, no | 12:38 |
| rumpe1 | MonkeyDust, it's not a good idea for a user to play admin, when he just started using it. But that's how it is. | 12:38 |
| pbjarting | thanks it is noted | 12:38 |
| jnb | rumpel I entered the sudo -i which worked however this is the message I received. You are not authorized to install the driver package. Only suer with root privileges is allowed to do this. Installation cannot be completed now | 12:39 |
| MonkeyDust | jnb first learn linux/ubuntu, then try to be admin | 12:39 |
| gaelfx | rrrr: you probably should try that, as it will (re)start all the samba services necessary to share | 12:40 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, that sounds ... really strange. After sudo -i you are in fact root ... possible reason: crappy driver installer | 12:40 |
| jnb | @Monkeydust I need to install a printer | 12:40 |
| jnb | this is how I resolved it in linux mint debian | 12:40 |
| jnb | I enabled root log in with linux mint debiam | 12:41 |
| jnb | and logged in | 12:41 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, or something else went wrong and the installer just always throws out that message (like missing directory, problems with filenames, ...) | 12:41 |
| jnb | that is how I was able to install it there | 12:41 |
| jnb | no it works | 12:41 |
| jnb | this is a universal install for linux | 12:41 |
| geirha | could be the installer is an sh script doing bashism | 12:41 |
| jnb | it just doesn't have a specific setup for each version | 12:41 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, so it's possible that it needs in fact an active root account ... oh, man. | 12:41 |
| jnb | yes sir | 12:42 |
| jnb | rumpel u are correct | 12:42 |
| geirha | jnb, rumpe1: certainly not | 12:42 |
| jnb | how do I enable the root account | 12:42 |
| rumpe1 | geirha, certainly? Have you written the script? | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | jnb not | 12:42 |
| jnb | I can google it | 12:42 |
| geirha | sudo -i logs you in as root, in that terminal. There's no "more root" than that | 12:42 |
| jnb | I know it is not recommended | 12:42 |
| jnb | @geirha that is the only way it worked in Linux mint debian | 12:43 |
| jnb | that is how I installed it on my desktop | 12:43 |
| rumpe1 | ... if $USERNAME != "root" then echo "You have no permissions... " ^^ | 12:43 |
| jnb | umbuntu is running on my mac | 12:43 |
| jnb | @rumpel you lost me | 12:44 |
| jnb | I just want to enable root log in on this computer | 12:44 |
| geirha | that's not valid sh | 12:44 |
| rumpe1 | lol | 12:44 |
| jnb | rumpel I knew something was fishy | 12:44 |
| jnb | with your last message | 12:45 |
| geirha | jnb: If you do, you're on your own | 12:45 |
| jnb | im a newbie with linux not with pc's | 12:45 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, why not just activate the root account, use it to try to install that thingy and deactivate root after that? | 12:45 |
| jnb | that exactly what i am asking you to assist me with | 12:45 |
| geirha | "activating" the root account won't solve anything | 12:45 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, "sudo passwd root" will activate it | 12:46 |
| T3X | I plugged my External hard desk into ubuntu server. how do i check if it detected or not while i dont have any graphical interface? | 12:46 |
| jnb | @geirha your wrong | 12:46 |
| sunshinehappy | jnb, did you try to open it with software center? | 12:46 |
| jnb | and then it prompts me for a password | 12:46 |
| gaelfx | T3X: I believe lsusb should show it | 12:46 |
| jnb | rumpel what password do I give it | 12:46 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, if you want to activate the account, you need to set a password of course. | 12:46 |
| geirha | !noroot | rumpe1 | 12:46 |
| ubottu | rumpe1: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 12:46 |
| rumpe1 | oh... please... | 12:47 |
| sunshinehappy | !root | 12:47 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:47 |
| gaelfx | sunshinehappy: this is a shell script, not a .deb | 12:47 |
| jnb | @geirha | 12:47 |
| jnb | let rumpel assist me | 12:47 |
| rumpe1 | the world doesn't end when somebody decides to activate root ... | 12:47 |
| jnb | I agree rumpel | 12:47 |
| rumpe1 | jnb, i suggest a private chat | 12:47 |
| geirha | *shrug* I didn't write the rules | 12:47 |
| T3X | gaelfx: lsusb didnt show anything | 12:47 |
| gaelfx | I think their point is that official support ends when someone decides to do that | 12:47 |
| gaelfx | T3X: hm, then it seems like it's not being detected. try sudo fdisk -l | 12:48 |
| test | =) | 12:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | test, It works. :) | 12:50 |

| Motafoca | guys, i have a windows partition that i want to make a backup so i can repartition my disk acordinly and then put this backup on the new partition scheme. I cant used gparted because of the partition layout, or dd because of the size. I tried using a virtualbox make a backup using tar, but the restorationg files are bugged, i even tried using cp but same bug, looks like some windows files have some permissions that linux ignores, any | 12:51 |
| Motafoca | ideas ? | 12:51 |
| ikonia | T3X: fdisk will only show dos partition tables | 12:52 |
| ikonia | T3X: 3TB disk needs a GPT partition | 12:52 |
| gaelfx | ikonia to the rescue :D | 12:52 |
| T3X | ikonia: GPT partition what is that means? | 12:52 |
| ikonia | Motafoca: can you boot into windows ? | 12:52 |
| ikonia | T3X: different type of partition table, used for larger disks | 12:53 |
| Motafoca | ikonia, after the backup/restore? yes, but the file links are broken, ex: my documents | 12:53 |
| cyrex | I recommend gparted for this. Not because fdisk can't do it but because it is easier to create the GPT (Guid Partition Table) for the 3TB. I have an internal 3TB and it was a breeze like that | 12:53 |
| Motafoca | ikonia, then i wonder if anything else is broken | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Motafoca: boot into windows, use the "take recovery image" option, layout your disk, then use the windows CD to restore that recovery image option to the new partition | 12:54 |

| cyrex | what about parted then? | 12:56 |
| Motafoca | ikonia, ill try, thanks | 12:56 |
| gaelfx | T3X: what kind of enclosure is this drive in? does it need to be turned on, and if so, is it? (sorry if that's an insulting question to ask) | 12:56 |
| cyrex | sorry the only one I could come up with right now is cfparted which has a nice curse gui for terminals | 12:57 |
| cyrex | cfdisk sorry | 12:57 |
| T3X | gaelfx: it plugged into power then into my server | 12:57 |
| sacarlson | T3X: look for a red lit light on the disk if it's has a switch that will be lit | 12:59 |

| === lubmil is now known as lub` | ||
| gaelfx | the reason I say to copy the stuff from E is that it's better not to use NTFS if you can avoid it | 13:24 |
| hackqueer | I am confused gaelfx | 13:24 |
| hackqueer | why should i copy from E:\ when i can access it from ubuntu . | 13:24 |
| hackqueer | ?"* | 13:24 |
| fidel | hackqueer: cause ntfs is mainly used my MS systems | 13:24 |
| fidel | linux system cansomehow access them - but its not the desired FS for linux | 13:25 |
| hackqueer | yeah | 13:25 |
| gaelfx | hackqueer: because NTFS doesn't always play well with Linux | 13:25 |
| hackqueer | okay | 13:25 |
| fidel | *by* | 13:25 |
| hackqueer | well , I guess I ain't being clear here | 13:25 |
| gaelfx | there's no reason you need to keep it on E if you can copy it to your Ubuntu partitions w/o a problem | 13:25 |
| === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender | ||
| gaelfx | ie if you have enough space | 13:26 |
| hackqueer | on windows , I've C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\ . On ubuntu , i can acess d:\ as 105 gb FS and e:\ as 152 gb FS | 13:26 |
| fidel | hackqueer: why would you keep your ntfs e: if your only windows install will be virtual inside linux/vm? | 13:26 |
| fidel | thats i guess the main question if i followed that conversation right | 13:26 |
| zamba | does ubuntu 12.04 run dnsmasq by default? | 13:26 |
| jiangjie | why not resize the E: partition | 13:26 |
| zamba | even for clients? | 13:26 |
| === Elfix is now known as ELFIX | ||
| hackqueer | these are heavy questions for noobs like me :P | 13:27 |

| hackqueer | partition* | 13:27 |
| === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin | ||
| gaelfx | hackqueer: sure, if it'll fit | 13:27 |
| hackqueer | or maybe you tell me to run some commands liekdf (idk exactly) and i'll let you know | 13:28 |
| gaelfx | do you have enough space on your ubuntu system for all the stuff on your windows system you want to keep? | 13:28 |
| fidel | hackqueer: in case your plan is to end up with 1 real ubuntu install andeverything else (i.e. windows) as virtual machines - THEN there is really no clear reason to still have several partitions using a filesystem which your main operating system does not like that miuch ;) | 13:28 |
| hackqueer | how do I check ? | 13:28 |
| gaelfx | hackqueer: disk usage analyzer is one way to check | 13:28 |
| hackqueer | i got it fidel . I am confused with what stuff to move where and how to know i've enough ways | 13:28 |
| gaelfx | hackqueer: you could also right-click your home folder, select properties and it will tell you how much free space you have | 13:30 |
| gaelfx | but disk usage analyzer will tell us more about your sistuation ;) | 13:31 |
| fidel | terminal: 'df -h' is another way to get info about disk usage - well cli-based if you prefer that hackqueer | 13:31 |

| hackqueer | desktop stuff which i want to copy is 400 MB | 13:39 |
| gaelfx | hackqueer: well, you see, the problem is that you haven't really installed ubuntu, you've only installed it INSIDE windows | 13:39 |
| hackqueer | I don't know what you mean by "INSIDE" . ON startup , I get 2 options windows7 and ubuntu | 13:39 |

| AdvoWork | is it recommended to get 32 bit of 12.04 even though its a 64 bit computer? | 13:47 |
| gaelfx | hackqueer: yeah, as I guessed, you haven't actually installed Ubuntu, it's installed inside windows, therefore you will need to do a real install to accomplish what you want | 13:48 |
| AdvoWork | as on the d/l page, it states 32bit (recommended) | 13:48 |
| hackqueer | gaelfx: http://i.imgur.com/j8k0Z.png | 13:48 |
| Adminkid | MonkeyDust: What is Mac OS Basid on. Is it just there own operating system then nothing compines togeather with MAC | 13:48 |
| alankila | AdvoWork: no, not really. Ubuntu chose 32 bits because the default must work on all computers. | 13:48 |
| alankila | AdvoWork: sadly, 64-bit systems are still not common enough to change the default. | 13:48 |

| HateHP | Why am I getting stuck at the SystemV runlevel? I removed the nvidia-common (why ubuntu thinks I have an nvidia card when it's intel is beyond me) | 13:53 |
| ikonia | HateHP: ubuntu doesn't use SystemV run level any more | 13:54 |
| ikonia | HateHP: it thinks you have an nvidia card as you configured Xorg to force nvidia when you installed nvidia-commoin | 13:54 |
| Psi-Jack | Heck, has Ubuntu EVER used SysV init? From what I've seen, it's primarily always been LSB which is similar to SysV, but has more standards. | 13:54 |
| HateHP | Except I never installed Nvidia anything | 13:54 |
| HateHP | How it even got on there is a question for later but for now I want to get past this SystemV thing | 13:54 |

| AdvoWork | alankila, so should I download the 64 bit then? | 13:56 |
| ikonia | Duality: it would be quite hard as there is no desktop | 13:56 |
| penreturns | Duality, :3 | 13:56 |
| Duality | ikonia: yea figured, no text based clients? | 13:56 |
| Pici | !info ttytter | Duality | 13:56 |
| ubottu | Duality: ttytter (source: ttytter): console Twitter client. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2.5-1 (precise), package size 68 kB, installed size 247 kB | 13:56 |
| alankila | AdvoWork: if you know 64 bits works for you, most likely yes. The answer is more involved than this, and involves the amount of memory your system has. Basically everybody with more than 3 GB should consider it. | 13:56 |
| T3X | gaelfx: Output of lsusb http://pastebin.com/HUQQaNWe | 13:56 |

| Lorra | Hi everybody! I was having fun with sockets using python to create a server program and a client program. Whenever I stop the server the port it used is temporarily unavailable. I think it's because I don't free it up properly. Does anybody know how you do that? I call connection.close() and socket.close() | 13:58 |
| Pici | Lorra: #python would be the appropriate place to ask this. | 13:58 |
| T3X | Lorra: /joint #python they will be happy to help you with it | 13:58 |
| spjt | Lorra: It might be that it's in time_wait | 13:58 |

| Adminkid | I dont know if unix is a good operating system because there no one in the chat room and I cant find programs that will run on unix? | 13:59 |

| localjoost | Quick question :) my work has a 7.04 server running *ugh* - want to upgrade it to a more recent version. Do I need to dist-upgrade all in between versions or can I skip certain versions? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | localjoost: pretty much, to be honest though, I'd suggest a clean install for that size an upgrade | 14:03 |
| ikonia | HateHP: do you have an nvidia card, yes or no ? | 14:03 |
| spjt | HateHP: It's really pretty simple. If you don't care about the politics, install it. If it doesn't work, remove it. | 14:03 |
| spjt | If you do care about the politics, don't install it. | 14:03 |
| ikonia | spjt: installing video card modules is nothing to do with politics | 14:03 |
| HateHP | No it's an INTEL CARD | 14:03 |
| ikonia | spjt: please don't lead someone with miss-information | 14:03 |
| ikonia | HateHP: ok, then there is no need for any nvidia components | 14:03 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmmm, anyone know of a GTK+/Gnome tool that can be used to easily convert specified timezones, and not just the current time only? Reaaaally need something like that since I deal with a lot of them. | 14:03 |
| localjoost | ikonia - that is my other option, im just a tad worried I will miss some important data/services | 14:04 |
| localjoost | afaik we use it for svn and dav | 14:04 |
| HateHP | great idea ikonia maybe you should have somebody in Ubuntu stop sneaking the damned thing back in there! | 14:04 |
| HateHP | three updates have forced it in | 14:04 |
| aetoxx | Firefox tells me that the dbus daemon is not running. | 14:04 |
| HateHP | now this thing is borked | 14:04 |
| ikonia | localjoost: I understand your fear, but I'd be more worried about walking through 8 upgrades | 14:04 |
| ikonia | HateHP: ok, if it's a new laptop, do a clean install | 14:04 |
| ikonia | HateHP: updates are not forcing it | 14:04 |
| ikonia | HateHP: do not install any nvidia components | 14:04 |
| aetoxx | How can I make sure that it is always running? Dbus has been nothing but a pile of misery sofar. | 14:04 |

| Nick____ | Hello | 14:05 |
| ikonia | HateHP: do you know how to use a pastebin ? | 14:05 |
| HateHP | pay attention to what i am ssaying | 14:05 |
| localjoost | ikonia - my experience in upgrading is only to next version .. so without more steps. what are the issues I can face? Or, differ each time? | 14:05 |
| HateHP | explain to me how i pastebin something from a terminal? | 14:05 |
| ikonia | HateHP: actually, I've lost interest | 14:05 |
| gaelfx | gotta go, sorry | 14:05 |
| ikonia | HateHP: I don't like your attitude, good luck | 14:06 |
| HateHP | go fuck yourself ikonia | 14:06 |
| Psi-Jack | HateHP: pastebinit | 14:06 |
| ikonia | localjoost: you're going to have to do multiple upgrades to get to a supported version | 14:06 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, I am spotting a pattern. | 14:06 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: in what ? what's up ? | 14:06 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, my question is above. | 14:06 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: I didn't see your question, sorry | 14:07 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, the pattern is in your behaviour. | 14:07 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, I didn't see what HateHP said, unfortunately. | 14:07 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: then don't worry about it | 14:07 |
| aetoxx | I did see that he said 'pay attention'. | 14:07 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: then don't worry about it | 14:07 |
| aetoxx | Something which more often than not doesn't happen. | 14:07 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: focus on your own question | 14:07 |
| === hybrid is now known as o0o0o | ||
| aetoxx | Anyway, my question is how I can make sure that dbus always works. | 14:08 |
| Nick____ | Hope I'm not intruding on the anger | 14:08 |
| aetoxx | For example, I just started firefox and it said that the dbus daemon wasn't running. | 14:08 |
| aetoxx | dbus is supposed to be some program about which I as a user don't know anything. | 14:08 |
| OerHeks | Nick____, just ask your Question | 14:08 |
| aetoxx | Except all more often I am seeing programs which are whining about it. | 14:08 |
| hackqueer | well , gaelfx was helping me migrate from my dual boot system( win7 + ubuntu) to only ubuntu , but he left . Can anyone else guide me ? | 14:08 |
| aetoxx | I just want to fix it once and for all. | 14:08 |
| aetoxx | I.e., where can I read about the preconditions for dbus to work correctly? | 14:09 |
| Nick____ | Not looking to get too technical for the moment, just wondering how difficult it would be to get Ubuntu fully functional and stable on a laptop | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Nick____: depends on the laptop and the issues you have | 14:10 |
| hackqueer | I use it Nick____ . It works pretty well. | 14:10 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, depends on what you want. Installation only depends on network speed and hardware. | 14:10 |
| ikonia | Nick____: some hardware works better than others | 14:10 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, I think for a laptop unity is 'ok'. | 14:10 |
| DJones | Nick____: It depends on what hardware is in the laptop, graphics card/network are probably the most common issues | 14:10 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, I don't recommend it for a desktop. | 14:10 |
| Nick____ | Well, the laptop seems to have issues with its WiFi under windows | 14:10 |
| ikonia | Nick____: the windows experience isn't a good benchmark for the ubuntu stability | 14:11 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, livecds are a good test. | 14:11 |
| Nick____ | Alright | 14:11 |
| Oniklus | newer hardware is generally not very well supported by linux | 14:11 |
| localjoost | is there a good way to create a full snapshot of 7.04 - just in case anything goes wrong when upgrading? | 14:11 |
| Psi-Jack | Oniklus: That depends and varies. | 14:11 |
| ikonia | Oniklus: that's not true at all | 14:11 |
| Nick____ | The laptop is a Toshiba L655-S5150 | 14:11 |
| aetoxx | Also Linux power usage is generally much higher. | 14:11 |
| Psi-Jack | Oniklus: Laptop hardware, that can very well be true. But server or desktop hardware, completely untrue. | 14:11 |
| ikonia | Nick____: aetoxx's suggestion of a basic test with a livecd is solid | 14:11 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: that's not true either | 14:11 |
| OerHeks | aetoxx, please don't suggest that ubuntu isn't recommended for the desktop, it is not true. also power issues are mostly solved. | 14:11 |
| Nick____ | Alright, I'll give that a show | 14:12 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, I have never ever seen that. | 14:12 |
| Nick____ | shot* | 14:12 |
| auronandace | localjoost: 7.04 is ancient, backup the data you need and fresh install | 14:12 |
| aetoxx | OerHeks, and you should read more carefully. | 14:12 |
| localjoost | OK ;) will talk my boss into this | 14:12 |
| hackqueer | well , gaelfx was helping me migrate from my dual boot system( win7 + ubuntu) to only ubuntu , but he left . Can anyone else guide me ? | 14:12 |
| Psi-Jack | localjoost: 7.04 would not be safe to upgrade. | 14:12 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, show me the benchmarks of an independent hardware site. | 14:12 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: I don't have anything like that to hand. | 14:12 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, if not, don't suggest it isn't true. I have many people who have similar experiences. | 14:13 |
| Nick____ | Also, once installed and assuming everything is fairly stable, how difficult is it to get used to Ubuntu? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | localjoost: best thing is backup the file systems | 14:13 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: you're welcome to think it's not true, | 14:13 |
| ikonia | Nick____: that's up to you really | 14:13 |
| OerHeks | Nick____, take your time to discover your system. | 14:13 |
| Nick____ | Fair enough. I haven't touched Linux in about... 6 or 7 years | 14:13 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, are you a 'computer person'? | 14:14 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, i.e. do you already script/program? | 14:14 |
| Nick____ | Not a lot | 14:14 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, do you just want to do 'basic tasks'? | 14:14 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, the basics are easy. | 14:14 |
| Nick____ | On the laptop, yes | 14:14 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, well, then there shouldn't be any issue. | 14:14 |
| ikonia | Nick____: https://help.ubuntu.com is not a bad guide on how to do some of the everyday things you want to do | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | The biggest thing the laptop is used for is web browsing and Netflix | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Nick____: netflix will be a problem | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | Bookmarked | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | Will it? | 14:15 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, I have no idea about Netflix support. | 14:15 |
| Psi-Jack | Nick____: Netflix does not yet currently support Linux. | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | Gah | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Nick____: no way to hide that, netflix will cause you a problem | 14:15 |
| ikonia | sorry | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | Alright | 14:15 |
| dedechan_ | I do not have /etc/default/dhcp3-server file, anyone knows why ? | 14:15 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, you can also install Ubuntu in a fullscreen VM. | 14:15 |
| aetoxx | Nick____, that's a very practical solution for high-end laptops. | 14:15 |
| Nick____ | I jsut finished downloading hte windows installer to my desktop to take a look at it | 14:16 |
| Psi-Jack | Or, you can install Ubuntu and install Windows in a full-screen virtualbox and run netflix. | 14:16 |
| Psi-Jack | :) | 14:16 |
| aetoxx | Psi-Jack, does that work? | 14:16 |
| Psi-Jack | aetoxx: Yep | 14:16 |
| T3X | gaelfx: Output of lsusb http://pastebin.com/HUQQaNWe | 14:16 |
| Nick____ | Well, I'm trying to replace windows on the laptop | 14:16 |
| hackqueer | Can anyone help me migrate from dual boot to only ubuntu ? | 14:16 |
| T3X | How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12? | 14:16 |
| hackqueer | T3X : gaelfx left | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Nick____: based on netflix, I wouldn't try at this time | 14:17 |
| ikonia | Nick____: I believe you'll just end up with frustration | 14:17 |
| Nick____ | Fair enough | 14:17 |
| Nick____ | Im guessing it has to do with Silverlight | 14:17 |
| Psi-Jack | Netflix, IS however working on a Linux solution, as-is Steam. :D | 14:17 |
| Psi-Jack | Nick____: Currently, yes. | 14:17 |
| aetoxx | Why do I have 3 dbus-daemon processes running? | 14:18 |
| Nick____ | Psi, more info? | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | psi really ? . I heard rumors to that effect about netflix on linux , but that was over a yr ago. | 14:18 |
| aetoxx | All of the 'oh noes porting our game-engine is so hard'-stuff is also greatly exaggerated. | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | Psi-Jack,^ | 14:18 |
| IdleOne | Please move this fascinating topic of netflix/steam over to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 14:19 |
| aetoxx | Porting a game-engine costs less than the cost of one license, if I had to guess. | 14:19 |
| Psi-Jack | BluesKaj: Yep. Well, they started with the Chromebook Chrome extension, which can be hacked up a bit to actually work on Ubuntu, but it's not fun. | 14:19 |
| j-horowitz | what was the process for obtaining a Microsoft-signed encryption key from VeriSign like? | 14:19 |
| Psi-Jack | IdleOne: Understood. | 14:19 |

| IdleOne | Psi-Jack: thank you. | 14:19 |
| ikonia | j-horowitz: that solution does not exist yet | 14:19 |
| j-horowitz | aside from painful | 14:19 |
| Psi-Jack | j-horowitz: Don't buy hardware that you cannot disable Secure Boot, or add your own custom keys to it. Return any hardware that doesn't allow these. :) | 14:20 |
| hackqueer | last request of help for the day - can anyone help me migrate from dual boot to only ubuntu ? | 14:21 |
| j-horowitz | haha Im on your side Psi-Jack, I'm just trying to understand how it works | 14:21 |
| IdleOne | hackqueer: really is no migrating to be done, backup your data and delete the partition with the OS you no longer wish to use | 14:21 |
| ikonia | hackqueer: sure, remove the windows partition, re-apply grub | 14:21 |
| j-horowitz | will you not be able to add custom keys to MSFT windows 8 machineS? | 14:21 |
| ikonia | j-horowitz: this isn't really an ubuntu question | 14:22 |
| ikonia | j-horowitz: you may want to try ##hardware or ##windows | 14:22 |
| hackqueer | I am a noob and my friend helped me install ubuntu. So I dunno how to proceed IdleOne , ikonia | 14:22 |

| Myrtti | IdleOne: apparently the friend used wubi to install | 14:22 |
| ubottu | hackqueer, please see my private message | 14:22 |
| IdleOne | Myrtti: ah | 14:22 |
| j-horowitz | ikonia, my apologies, I just figured that it might be related since Ubuntu was considering some options to resolve this issue | 14:22 |
| ikonia | hackqueer: ubottu has just sent you a link on about how to re-apply grub | 14:22 |
| ikonia | j-horowitz: I understand that, no need to apologies | 14:23 |
| hackqueer | yeah friend installed ubuntu using wubi | 14:23 |

| Combatjuan | I don't know Apache well. Is it possible to configure a virtual directory such that it represent the union of two actual directories. Writes would explicitly go to one of the two directories, reads would check for files in any. | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Combatjuan: no | 14:29 |
| Psi-Jack | Combatjuan: Negative | 14:29 |
| Combatjuan | Ok. Well, I'm disappointed but glad that ikonia and Psi-Jack can say for certain. | 14:29 |

So I switch to bash and cat for an xorg.conf file, but none exists? Does Ubuntu needlessly probe upon every boot for graphics every boot? anyways I cant get X to start for me in range.

| L3top | AssociateX: sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 I suspect the problem lies between flash update and the nouveau driver. | 16:21 |
| tiger | @litropy i needed a help..my system is hanging some time | 16:21 |
| litropy | tiger, let it crunch | 16:21 |
| L3top | AssociateX: the 173 is the only driver from nvidia you can use. | 16:21 |

| krabador | hi people, i've a Radeon 9600 Pro, and in ubuntu 12.04 i can't install the latest amd drivers available for this card by amd. is the driver inside the os, good enough for my videocard or i must use an os with the support for the latest amd driver? | 16:22 |
| L3top | krabador: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 16:22 |
| Pici | dudol: arch will show you if you're running 32bits (i686) or 64 (x86_64) | 16:23 |
| litropy | tiger, I think with apt-get it's "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" ... peeps, what's the equivalent for "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" ? | 16:25 |
| tiger | i am root in ubuntu | 16:25 |
| dudol | Pici, arch? | 16:25 |
| litropy | tiger, that's not safe but right on just take outsudo in my commands | 16:26 |
| raphaelle | Hello @ll, can someone tell me what could be changed to avoid this message on windows partition access (dual boot Lubuntu) : "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened." | 16:26 |

| LjL | tiger: type "sudo -i" once, stay root as long as you want. of course you're free to do what you want, but we're free not to support it. | 16:29 |
| litropy | tiger, are you still hanging? | 16:29 |
| krabador | L3top, yes, i know that the latest amd driver for this card isn't supported | 16:29 |
| sasser | tiger, just type sudo su | 16:29 |
| sasser | then the password | 16:29 |
| AssociateX | L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1064596/ | 16:29 |

| steve973 | so can i masquerade without dnsmasq? | 16:29 |
| tiger | it was hanging in non root user too | 16:29 |
| sasser | after that, you may write all the commands without starting with sudo | 16:30 |
| L3top | krabador: the last 5 or so iterations of the driver does not support your card. The latest one dropped support for about 10000 other cards. | 16:30 |
| root | Have anyone told me how to modify my name here? | 16:30 |
| litropy | tiger, after apt-get update just "apt-get dist-upgrade" ... it's further from aptitude safe-upgrade, but it does what needs to be done. | 16:30 |

| drmahalo | what should I do in this situation? | 16:31 |
| dulio | litropy: just thanks~ | 16:31 |
| litropy | tiger, that's probably a good idea. Just be happy with 12.04 for now - it's nice. | 16:31 |

| litropy | dulio, lol I don't even remember helping you | 16:32 |

| SolarAquarion | I am doing that whole thing via recovery console | 17:16 |

| L3top | SolarAquarion: Do you have any PPAs installed? Typically this is the root of these problems. | 17:18 |
| SolarAquarion | Nope, the only ppa I have is the chrome one | 17:19 |

| L3top | Well... then that would be yes. Please answer my questions. What were you trying to do when this failure occurred SolarAquarion? | 17:20 |
| SolarAquarion | Upgrade my system via apt-get upgrade | 17:20 |
| SolarAquarion | because I earlier did a dist-upgrade | 17:21 |

| T3X | MonkeyDust: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD is there anything showing 3TB drive? | 17:25 |
| SolarAquarion | arooni-mobile check if modprobing probing your sound driver would fix your problem | 17:25 |

| wotwotslayer | is the vsync? | 17:26 |
| w3bg33k | how can I run fsck from the initramfs prompt? | 17:26 |
| litropy | diverdude, sox is an audio file converter and an audio file player. I recommend you man sox once you install it - it's a nice app. Anyhow, once installed, all you have to do is "play /path/to/file.m3u" | 17:26 |
| SolarAquarion | it works thnaks l3top | 17:26 |
| L3top | np... I would apt-get autoclean, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade | 17:27 |
| L3top | SolarAquarion: ^ | 17:27 |
| diverdude | litropy: thx :) | 17:27 |
| wotwotslayer | is there anyway to disable to menubar in nautilus? | 17:28 |
| arooni-mobile | ubuntu sync deamon seems horribly written; it takes up 112% of my cpu when i'm not changing any files. is there a way to fix it or will is imply uninstall it? | 17:28 |
| wotwotslayer | i uninstalled it, it's broken and it aint getting fixed | 17:29 |
| itaws | hi frnds i am not able to understand how wine works and how to install a app using it ? | 17:29 |
| arooni-mobile | wotwotslayer, whats broken? menubar or ubuntu one | 17:29 |
| superuser | is there a command for to change computer name | 17:30 |
| quixotedon | !wine| itaws | 17:30 |
| ubottu | itaws: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 17:30 |

| litropy | diverdude, lol why didn't I think of vlc lol | 17:30 |
| litropy | diverdude, happy listening | 17:30 |
| superuser | thank you | 17:30 |
| wotwotslayer | arooni-mobile, actually I can't remember what the daemon it was, but it hogged the HD indexing files or something, not acceptable. I recommended to uninstall the daemon but got banned for that in ubuntu forums or what ever. Now I'm thinking about disabling the nautilus menu bar in gnome shell if it matters. | 17:31 |
| arooni-mobile | wotwotslayer, im ditching ubuntu one; its a huge resource hog | 17:32 |
| arooni-mobile | i will use dropbox instead | 17:32 |
| itaws | thanks <ubottu> but sometime it fails to install and i doesnot work well ? | 17:32 |
| quixotedon | itaws: join #winehq for application help | 17:33 |
| diverdude | litropy: thx hehe | 17:33 |
| L3top | itaws: it depends on the application... you should... yeah what quixotedon said. Also check the !AppDB | 17:33 |
| wotwotslayer | arooni-mobile, it crossed my mind to use dropbox too, a couple of days ago I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and my ftp server stopped working... | 17:34 |
| itaws | ok frnd i will try to overcome this problem ! | 17:34 |

| T3X | How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12? FOR YOUR INFROMATIO NON OF fdisk -l and parted or nbkid SHOW ANY INFORMATION FOR MY 3TB HARD DRIVE. THANKS | 17:35 |
| Psi-Jack | T3X: Please turn off your CAPSLOCK key | 17:35 |
| Alexi | SocialEvil: sounds like an out of date kernel to me. I may be wrong. | 17:35 |
| compdoc | T3X, you have to create a gpt partition, then format | 17:36 |
| T3X | Psi-Jack: A question require an answer | 17:36 |
| compdoc | no questions require answers | 17:37 |
| Psi-Jack | T3X: A less annoying manner, yes, in the manner you chose to use, no. | 17:37 |
| Psi-Jack | Absolutely not. | 17:37 |
| T3X | compdoc: how do i creat gpt partition, and do i know that ubuntu server has detected th ED? | 17:37 |
| Alexi | partitions bigger than 2TB need GUID Partion table (GPT) | 17:37 |
| wotwotslayer | It's bad manners to not answer valid questions | 17:37 |
| JW_ | How can I configure atd to work on an SMP machine? | 17:37 |
| SocialEvil | Psi-Jack, any idea how to support my camera properly, Alexi i have Linux marla 2.6.32-41-generic-pae | 17:37 |

| compdoc | T3X, open disk utility, and the drive will show there | 17:37 |
| Psi-Jack | SocialEvil: Would need to know the exact make and model of your camera. | 17:37 |
| compdoc | nm :) | 17:38 |
| SocialEvil | Psi-Jack, its an old one. moment | 17:38 |
| T3X | compdoc: i am on ubuntu server | 17:38 |

| Alexi | T3X: use 'parted' and mklabel gpt inside the parted program | 17:39 |
| T3X | compdoc: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD . can you see anything there saying 3TB size or anything like that? | 17:39 |

| oCean | serdotlin: Ubuntu does not aim for latest, but for stable | 17:48 |
| oCean | !latest | 17:48 |
| ubottu | 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. | 17:48 |
| Zoohouse | superuser: you can try using an environment that uses less resources like xfce for example. | 17:48 |
| Zoohouse | Alexi: thanks, let me go check it out | 17:49 |
| Psi-Jack | SocialEvil: That's a pretty old camera, yes. Supported back in 7.04-7.04, and no longer really maintained, so may not be perfect. | 17:49 |

| L3top | andornaut: you will probalby have to apt-get remove mysql-server and then try to install mysql-server-5.5 and get it to configure correctly. | 18:12 |

| andornaut | L3top: if I try to apt-get remove mysql-server, it first tries to fix the broken install attempt, which just fails again :-/ | 18:13 |

| magarwal | I am unable to install mysql-cluster-server through apt-get, it looks that this package has been deleted/moved..How can I install this package or how could i get the latest mysql-cluster package | 18:14 |
| andornaut | ok, well it worked this time apt-get remove mysql-server-5.5 (instead of mysql-server). but reinstalling leads to the same issue | 18:15 |
| L3top | andornaut: I run into this little loop from time to time, but it stems from chrooting the install on a host which also has this install... and most of my understanding of how to fix it is brutal and designed for this circumstance. | 18:15 |

| ffwacom | consider this: debian | 18:21 |
| GRY | djiefo: what would you want firefox to do there? | 18:21 |
| MonkeyDust | djiefo please rephrase that | 18:21 |

| Zoohouse | I can't hear any audio from the system other than when I press vol up and vol down on my keayboard (laptop). When I press those keys I hear the "BEEP BEEP as the audio raises and lowers, but I can't hear anything from audio players or youtube or anything else that makes noise. What might be wrong? I already checked to make sure nothing is mute. | 18:21 |

| alex78 | ciao | 18:22 |

| djiefo | I need to use a website that use shockwave player. Firefox is up to date | 18:23 |
| andornaut | wotwotslayer: was that meant for me? | 18:23 |
| djiefo | But theres another way to use shockwave player through ubuntu without using firefox in wine | 18:24 |
| L3top | andornaut: I would not try and compile mysql from source, respectfully, if the package breaks. | 18:24 |
| Zoohouse | i7c: When I run pulse audio, I get this: E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | djiefo, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 18:25 |
| L3top | andornaut: first of all does ps aux | grep mysql | grep -v grep return a result? | 18:25 |
| wotwotslayer | andornaut: yes, the link you posted complained about configure errors, either way, it didn't give many answers, ./configure usually tells you what's wrong though | 18:25 |
| MonkeyDust | djiefo what website is that? i never need or use wine | 18:25 |
| djiefo | BluesKaj, actually first heard of it | 18:25 |
| i7c | Zoohouse: yeh pulseaudio always runs in background. open a terminal and type pavucontrol | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | it'll install flash and java etc | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | djiefo, ^ | 18:26 |

| litropy | Hi, all - I don't have the time in the upper-right. When I go to Time and Date > Clock, all settings, including, "Show a clock in the menu bar" are grayed out (inactive). | 18:30 |
| i7c | Zoohouse: you said you hear system sounds? so check the tab "playback". you can set volumes for individual applications | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | Zoohouse, have you checked alsamixer in the terminal , turn up the ctls and no MM in the ctl boxes | 18:31 |
| djiefo | BluesKaj, I've install the package but the probem is'nt solved | 18:31 |
| lmger | i am running ubuntu 12.04 but i have not installed unity and do not want it either. i have xfce and MATE. How can i change the login manager? | 18:31 |
| andornaut | wotwotslayer: ah okay. I'm not install from source though... | 18:31 |
| litropy | When I aptitude reinstall indicator-datetime, I get, "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the indicator-datetime package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package." | 18:31 |
| wotwotslayer | andornaut, is openvz really supported by ubuntu then? | 18:31 |
| i7c | BluesKaj: Zoohouse said he could hear system sounds... it shouldnt be alsamixer then, right? | 18:31 |
| quixotedon | !desktop manager| lmger | 18:32 |
| Zoohouse | i7c: I do hear system sound when i press vol up and vol down but that's it. | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | i7c, ok , pulseaudio ? | 18:32 |
| litropy | Yet, indicator-datetime Version: 0.3.1-0ubuntu2 is installed. | 18:32 |

| magarwal | Mysql-cluster-server packages were deleted from the repo...now not installable from apt-get.Is there any specific reason, why this is so | 18:32 |
| Zoohouse | BluesKaj: When I run pulse audio, I get this: E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() | 18:33 |
| i7c | Zoohouse: in "playback" tab you can turn on/off applications and also select an output device for each app | 18:33 |
| i7c | Zoohouse: if you see volume bars in pavucontrol pulse audio is just running perfectly | 18:33 |
| BluesKaj | i7 if he has pavucontrol installed | 18:34 |
| andornaut | wotwotslayer: not sure. the webhost does offer it as an option, so I'd hope they knew what they were doing | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | i7c,^ | 18:34 |

| popogogo | Hi folks, how can i relauch the launcher after i accidentally closed it by clicking on the red X next to the Dash icon? | 18:36 |
| OerHeks | litropy, from 11.10 to 12.04 ? aptitude is remeoved, it can wreck your system | 18:36 |
| popogogo | i'm using 12.04 | 18:36 |
| djiefo | Does this site works for you? http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml | 18:36 |
| litropy | OerHeks, I'm running 12.04. | 18:36 |
| OerHeks | litropy, oke, then again, aptitude can wrech your system, use apt-get | 18:37 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 18:37 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 18:37 |
| KorvinSzanto | how can I scan an ip range for open ports? | 18:37 |
| litropy | OerHeks, wow ... really? What should I use after apt0get update? apt-get dist-upgrade? | 18:37 |
| KorvinSzanto | I want to scan 10.1.10.* for open 80 ports | 18:37 |
| OerHeks | litropy, apt-get dis-iupgrade -d ( for development, 12.10 is not out yet ) | 18:38 |
| Gyges | djiefo, yes | 18:38 |
| Zoohouse | i7c, BluesKaj: Finally! While I was recording the video I changed the profile to Analog Stereo Duplex and that solved it. Woohoo!!! | 18:38 |

| i7c | Zoohouse: i'm glad, you found out! | 18:39 |
| wotwotslayer | KorvinSzanto: use nmap, switch -P 80 x.x.x.* | 18:39 |
| djiefo | Gyges, ok it tells you to install shockwave, but theres no version of this shockwave for ubuntu... | 18:39 |
| Zoohouse | i7c, BluesKaj: Thanks for the help :D | 18:39 |
| litropy | OerHeks, okay, so just apt-get upgrade then, right? | 18:39 |
| wotwotslayer | KorvinSzanto, sorry small -p | 18:39 |

| BluesKaj | djiefo,^ | 18:41 |
| Nuclear_muffin | ok thank you | 18:41 |
| Laice | in terminal | 18:41 |
| litropy | OerHeks, what's the deal, anyway? I thought aptitude was solid ... | 18:41 |
| Nuclear_muffin | is this a comon problem? | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | djiefo, sometimes a reboot is required too | 18:41 |
| Laice | @Nuclear_muffin not shutting down you mean? | 18:41 |
| OerHeks | litropy, it was, and i liked it a lot. i hope it will be fixed soon. | 18:41 |
| Nuclear_muffin | yeah | 18:41 |
| djiefo | BluesKaj, maybe a reboot | 18:41 |
| Gyges | did any of you get offer from iceglen ? | 18:41 |
| quixotedon | Gyges: no, what's that about? | 18:42 |
| Nuclear_muffin | ill try the sudo thing now | 18:42 |
| Laice | @Nuclear_muffin sometimes, however if you click shutdown again it' normally forces it if it hasnt the first time | 18:42 |
| quixotedon | Laice: just know that.. :d | 18:42 |
| Nuclear_muffin | oh ill try that fist | 18:42 |
| Laice | @Nuclear_muffin then again i dont really turn my servers off :P | 18:42 |
| wotwotslayer | Nuclear_muffin: if you want to shutdown, then you can write # shutdown -h now | 18:42 |
| Laice | ? quixotedon ? | 18:42 |
| Laice | lol looks like he managed it xD | 18:43 |
| joseoo | when using mount to nfs is it possible to set uid/gid , my uid is 1000 and the remote folder is 1004 so i do not have permission to write | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | aptitude doesn't handle dependencies as well as apt-get now , litropy | 18:43 |
| joseoo | any suggestions | 18:43 |
| quixotedon | Laice: the shut down on second click.. :d | 18:43 |
| Nuclear_muffin | it didn't after second try | 18:43 |
| Nuclear_muffin | should i do sudo retsart now? | 18:43 |
| Laice | @quixotedon if in doubt push all of the buttons | 18:43 |
| Nuclear_muffin | *restart | 18:43 |
| Laice | by all means | 18:44 |
| Laice | and if that doesnt work | 18:44 |
| litropy | BluesKaj, sounds like somebody's slackin' ... | 18:44 |

| Nuclear_muffin | didn't do anything | 18:44 |
| Laice | o.O | 18:44 |
| quixotedon | anyway, when i do apt-update, why is /var/lib/dpkg locked? | 18:44 |
| Nuclear_muffin | missing job name | 18:44 |
| Laice | to stop updates updating on the top of updates | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | litropy, agreed ,I used aptitude for yrs , til i started seeing broken packages on ordinary installs from the repos | 18:45 |
| Nuclear_muffin | What do i do? | 18:45 |
| semitones | my window buttons are sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, due to past tweaks. How can I make them uniformly left? | 18:45 |
| quixotedon | semitones: windows buttons?? | 18:45 |
| elbee19 | Hello, does anyone here work with ruby? | 18:45 |
| Nuclear_muffin | I will be back | 18:45 |
| quixotedon | !ruby| elbee19 | 18:45 |
| Gyges | well djiefo and others , according to this https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ flashplayer is not enough | 18:45 |
| nisdec | semitones: I think its an option in ubuntu-tweak | 18:45 |
| semitones | quixotedon: close, maximize | 18:45 |
| semitones | nisdec: I was hoping to avoid installing that -- can I do it manually? | 18:46 |
| quixotedon | semitones: you can make them move to left when you maximize the window | 18:46 |
| litropy | BluesKaj, am I wrong when I say both apt-get and aptitude both just read the depends flags within the package itself? | 18:46 |
| Gyges | !shockwave | 18:46 |
| ubottu | shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 18:46 |
| nisdec | semitones: sry... I'm a GUI noob :> | 18:46 |
| OerHeks | semitones, some themes do push the close-min-max to the left/right. | 18:46 |
| semitones | quixotedon: yeah that's what I meant when they're sometimes on the left | 18:46 |
| elbee19 | quixotedon: Hi, I'm new to IRC, so forgive me if I'm not violate etiquette in any way. I've used the ruby command line before in windows, and want to open it on my ubuntu now | 18:47 |
| semitones | OerHeks: I'm using a dark theme -- do I just need to find theme settings? | 18:47 |
| elbee19 | *if I violate | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | litropy, not sure , forgot what the reasoning was there | 18:47 |
| elbee19 | I enter 'ruby' in the command line, and the cursor shifts to the next line. Nothing happens. Is that not the right way? | 18:47 |
| semitones | OerHeks: I have ambiance | 18:47 |
| OerHeks | semitones, if you find a good theme editor, let me know. that would solve me a lot trouble like you experience now. | 18:47 |
| semitones | ah man :p alright | 18:48 |
| djiefo | Gyges, linux wine+firefox for windows works | 18:48 |
| Gyges | i see | 18:48 |
| Laice | @semitones sent you a link | 18:48 |
| quixotedon | elbee19: you're typing 'ruby' on irc chat? | 18:48 |
| elbee19 | Haha, no. I'm typing 'ruby' on the terminal | 18:48 |
| semitones | Laice: thanks | 18:49 |
| elbee19 | May be that's as dumb as typing it here :P But could you kindly tell me what I need to do? | 18:49 |
| quixotedon | elbee19: are you using 12.04? in terminal it states that you need to use ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.1, while i myself don't use it.. :) | 18:51 |
| quixotedon | *never | 18:51 |
| MonkeyDust | djiefo yes, but with wine, you're using windows, so to say | 18:51 |
| Laice | so anyone ever sent a text from ubuntu? I have a pci mobile broadband (which ubuntu picked up on with just a reboot and connects automagickally) but suposedly i can send text from ubuntu, no idea how tho | 18:52 |
| elbee19 | quixotedon: Yes, I'm using 12.04 | 18:52 |
| Laice | and by that i mean sms | 18:52 |
| GRY | Interesting question. | 18:52 |
| elbee19 | quixotedon, this is my version: ruby 1.9.3p194 | 18:53 |
| Nuclear_muffin | Im back | 18:54 |
| semitones | what's the 12.04 equivalent to gconf-editor? dconf-editor? | 18:54 |
| Nuclear_muffin | what do i do? | 18:54 |
| Nuclear_muffin | My computer won't shut down | 18:54 |
| quixotedon | elbee19: then, it didn't do anything? | 18:54 |
| BluesKaj | Gyges, djiefo , install gnash for the shockwave thing if you feel you need it | 18:54 |
| Gyges | ok | 18:55 |
| quixotedon | Nuclear_muffin: why not try 'hard' shut down? (pressing the power button).. well this happens to me several times this week | 18:55 |
| elbee19 | quixotedon, typing 'ruby1.9.3' or 'ruby' or 'ruby1.9' doesn't work | 18:55 |
| wotwotslayer | Lacie: Seems unlikely, sending SMS is complicated business, you'll have to interface with a telecom through some partner that carries SMS services. | 18:55 |
| OerHeks | Nuclear_muffin if you pc does not shutdown, that would be an ACPI problem, setup wrong in bios or you used noacpi in grub. | 18:55 |
| twig11 | I need help troubleshooting the Ubuntu One client. I recently dropped a large directory into the U1 directory, and after uploading about 166 Mb of it, the Ubuntu One client seems to have completely stalled out and is showing no more upload progress, even though it's burning up All my available upload bandwidth (about 20KB/s). Setting the upload bandwidth limit lower through the client software has no effect, and the gui says "loading" and seems to hang permane | 18:56 |
| twig11 | ntly when I select "disconnect." Using Magicicada, I was able to stop the service on the second try. Is there a misconfigured file somewhere that I can delete to restore Ubuntu One to normal behavior? Any advice would be great, thanks. | 18:56 |
| Nuclear_muffin | OerHeks, i havn't had this before and i leave my biose alone | 18:56 |
| Nuclear_muffin | OerHeks, What do i do? | 18:56 |
| quixotedon | OerHeks: i've updated but still the same problem of never ending loading when shutting down happens several times | 18:56 |
| litropy | How do I reinstall using ap-get? Just remove/install? | 18:56 |
| litropy | apt-get* | 18:57 |
| trism | litropy: apt-get install --reinstall package_name | 18:57 |
| litropy | trism, thx | 18:57 |
| twig11 | Forgot to mention with the above statement, my internet connection is basically unusable for anything else while Ubuntu One is running, since I can't set it not to consume my entire available bandwidth. | 18:57 |
| guntbert | semitones: as far as I saw, yes | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | All i know you can hold the powerbutton for 10 sec, it will turn off your pc the hard way. not suitable for normal use. | 18:57 |
| elbee19 | quixotedon, nvm. I'm using the irb now :) | 18:58 |
| Nuclear_muffin | OerHeks, OK thanks i will search it up more thank you | 18:58 |
| Laice | something is seriously borked if you can't sudo init 6 though | 18:58 |
| semitones | guntbert: alright, I'll look to see if I can use dconf-editor to move the buttons to the left | 18:58 |
| OerHeks | Nuclear_muffin, did you use sudo with that shutdown option? | 18:58 |
| quixotedon | OerHeks: yeah, that's what i usually do when things like that happen | 18:58 |
| Nuclear_muffin | quixotedon, my harddrive got corrupted shuting off the hard way when i had windows. | 18:58 |
| Laice | *Ears prick up* | 18:59 |
| guntbert | semitones: I still have them there (I set it in 11.04 if I remember correctly ) - so the old settings seem to apply still | 18:59 |
| wotwotslayer | twig11: That is a serious problem, my senses tells me that there ought to be some way to trottle network throughput, alas I do not know anyway besides killing them completely. | 18:59 |
| Nuclear_muffin | I Bey thanks for help | 19:00 |
| twig11 | wotwotslayer: the Ubuntu One GUI has a setting for that, it just doesn't have any effect. I would work around it using my router QOS settings (Buffalo router with branded DD-wrt) but I'm not sure how to define the protocol to throttle. I read that Ubuntu One uses a custom protocol and the router only has several pre-selected protocols to choose from. So I'm stuck unless I can learn more. Hope there's someone here who knows something about this. | 19:03 |

| Lunar_Lander | I just got an update of the linux-headers and unity-lens-video and after the restart I got twice "Ubuntu recognized a problem" with "unity-lens-video" and once with "gnome-control-center" | 19:32 |
| Lunar_Lander | is that something dangerous? | 19:32 |
| guntbert | gu4an | 19:34 |
| guntbert | how do I prevent all apps to open full screen (unity)? | 19:36 |
| L3top | unity-lens-video causes problems for some folks. There are bugs filed... but it is not "dangerous". It won't destroy files or anything... I believe that lens isn't even supposed to work in 1204... I can't remember for sure. | 19:36 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 19:36 |
| Lunar_Lander | and the gnome CC? | 19:36 |

| semitones | OerHeks: however I remember doing this before and rebooting with the change reset | 19:37 |

| azertyui | and aftr few hours it come to normal | 19:49 |
| azertyui | that's my question BluesKaj | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | azertyui, to find what is using cpu , look at system monitor | 19:50 |

| zykotick9 | kunguz: i assume you are using bash - that is determined by the value for PS1 (usually in ~/.bashrc) - i'd ask in #bash if you don't get an answer here. | 19:57 |
| sandyd | PrototypeX29A, Look through the changelog, and check to see if you can find out what is going on. Then, a patch can be made, and sent upstrea | 19:57 |

| kunguz | zykotick9, thank you I will check the file | 19:58 |
| atdprhs | where is that boot-repair semitones? | 19:58 |
| PrototypeX29A | sandyd: i was under the impression that the bug was well understood, but nobody cared to fix it | 19:58 |
| semitones | atdprhs: this has all the instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair you can get it from a ppa, or make a cd with it | 19:59 |
| sandyd | PrototypeX29A, The kernel devs may understand what is going on, but no one has come up with a patch. | 20:00 |
| sandyd | Kernel devs, like us, are voleunteers, and are alwasys shortstaffed | 20:01 |
| sandyd | they do not have the time to look over and fix every single problem. | 20:01 |
| sandyd | so the best thing is to determine what is causing the bug, test the patch, and attach it. | 20:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | yes, that might be true | 20:02 |

| L3top | Queops: you can... but what will probably result is either it will default to vesa or something, OR just display black when it doesn't want the discrete. I cannot really tell you for sure. I need to get my hands on one, or find someone very patient to test code for me ;) | 21:10 |
| melkor | oem: ask and you might get answered. | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | melkor: install the 64bit deb from the skype site and then run: sudo apt-get -f install and it will install the deps | 21:10 |
| oem | thanx | 21:10 |
| melkor | ActionParsnip: I don't want to install the ia32 stuff. | 21:10 |

| BluesKaj | melkor, it's a wrapper | 21:11 |
| oem | he can connect to unsecured networks.... | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | melkor: you don't have choice if you want skype | 21:11 |
| melkor | oem: please don't use enter for punctuation. | 21:11 |
| altan | ActionParsnip, I need help choosing a wireless card :P | 21:11 |
| oem | but he cannot connect to his own secured network. | 21:11 |
| L3top | The idea behind this Queops is that the discrete is a battery vampire... like... insanely so... so when the big guns arent needed, they arent used... they are designed to work in unison... so separating them off will require, again, vga-switcheroo | 21:11 |
| Queops | L3top, I see i see hmmm but why would it not the radeon use the restricted drivers if the intel is blacklisted? unless they are connected | 21:11 |
| MonkeyDust | oem in one line please, and mind: 'quick questions' are always the most difficult to answer | 21:11 |
| melkor | ActionParsnip: right, I can use a windows boot. | 21:11 |
| Queops | L3top, I see i see | 21:12 |
| Queops | L3top, thanks for your help | 21:12 |
| oem | his modem is a docsis 3 sb 6120 surfboard | 21:12 |

| BluesKaj | AssociateX, open krunner (alt+f2), kdesudo dolphin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer , is libflashplayer.so placed there? | 21:14 |

| BluesKaj | AssociateX, pavucontrol? | 21:25 |
| AssociateX | BluesKaj, no | 21:25 |
| sacarlson | quidnunc: if they can mount at all I'm sure you can add a line in /etc/fstab to automount them | 21:25 |
| melkor | quidnunc: do you get any notice when you plug them in? | 21:25 |
| quidnunc | sacarlson: I don't want to do that | 21:26 |
| quidnunc | I want automagic | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | AssociateX, installit , pavucontrol gives you more control over your sound direction and volume | 21:27 |
| melkor | quidnunc: what does the computer say when you plug them in? | 21:27 |
| quidnunc | melkor: dmesg log items seems to identify the disk with no apparent errors | 21:27 |
| L3top | quidnunc: you can just click on them in nautilus and they will mount... there are several circumstances which automounting would be a bad idea... and could cause real problems. | 21:27 |

| melkor | quidnunc: what are you using? | 21:27 |
| quidnunc | melkor: xmonad on gnome3 classic | 21:27 |
| AssociateX | BluesKaj, ok, it's installed. | 21:27 |
| altan | ActionParsnip, mind if I ask what type of wireless card you have? | 21:28 |
| melkor | quidnunc: when you run nautilus do you have the option to open the drive from the sidebar? | 21:28 |
| tking | hi guys, i want to remove two unwanted folder from user/share/backgrounds directory pls help. the folder names are Pictures and contest | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | AssociateX, nowopen pavucontrol and setup your audio | 21:29 |
| altan | tking, you need to make sure you have permission to do that | 21:29 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -f ; | 21:29 |
| tking | altan i added them now, hv pass | 21:30 |
| altan | tking, it would be 'chmod ugo+rw FILE' | 21:30 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: what does the -f do? | 21:30 |
| altan | then you should try sudo rm FILE | 21:30 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: man apt-get | 21:30 |
| tking | altan chmod +rw DIR or FILE? cos its a folder | 21:31 |
| AssociateX | BluesKaj, looks good. html5 plays sound and video on youtube just fine btw, just not flash. | 21:31 |
| AssociateX | *just flash is not working | 21:31 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: ok, so would it be sudo apt-get install -f openssh-server? | 21:31 |
| altan | tking, it would be the dir | 21:31 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: I think that might also work but not needed | 21:32 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: yeah didn't work same errors | 21:32 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: you have some ppa repository for ssh? | 21:32 |
| altan | tking, did you try to rm -r dir | 21:33 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: dont think so... | 21:33 |
| tking | altan yes | 21:33 |
| altan | tking, did it work? | 21:33 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: what if we sudo apt-get install openssh-client ; | 21:33 |
| tking | altan nope | 21:33 |
| melkor | tking: sudo rm -r dir ? | 21:33 |
| tking | ys | 21:34 |
| melkor | tking: but be carefull... | 21:34 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: says openssh-client is already the newest version; 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 21:34 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: but when i do sudo apt-get remove openssh-client it doesn't remove it.. | 21:34 |
| tking | altan i used sudo rm -r usr/share/backgrounds/Pictures (pictures is the folder i want to remove) | 21:34 |
| sacarlson | mib_mib: why won't it remove it? | 21:35 |
| altan | tking, is the folder empty? | 21:35 |
| tking | no | 21:35 |
| altan | tking, if so, try sudo rmdir dir | 21:35 |
| quidnunc | melkor: Yes I see the drive in nautilus. | 21:35 |
| tking | altan its not empty | 21:36 |
| mib_mib | sacarlson: i do sudo-apt get remove openssh-client -> just says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded | 21:36 |
| quidnunc | melter: But I want it automounted in /media/ as per previous behavior | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | tking, put a / in front of user | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | er ys4r | 21:36 |
| melkor | quidnunc: previous to what? | 21:36 |
| * BluesKaj puts his glasses on | 21:36 | |

| MonkeyDust | snooplsm lsb_release -sd | 21:39 |

| altan | snooplsm, go update | 21:39 |
| snooplsm | how? | 21:39 |
| snooplsm | do-release-upgrade? | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | snooplsm backup + fresh install is fastest and easiest, then | 21:40 |
| altan | snooplsm, don't ask me, i've never upgraded yet :) | 21:40 |

| heroknights | I have installed the Settings manger but none of the effects are working | 21:44 |
| AssociateX | BluesKaj, says missing plugin or update your flash player. | 21:45 |
| kodierer | hi | 21:45 |
| tking | altan how to pls :) | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | heroknights: if you press ALT+F2 then run: compiz --replace it will help (you will need 3D accelleration in the system) | 21:45 |
| altan | tking, sudo chmod +rw /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tking: or run: gksudo nautilus $HOME | 21:45 |
| iHarp | ActionParsnip: Does that mean there isn't a solution? end of life? | 21:45 |
| myhero | MonkeyDust: specif link to the concerner 4.7 gb .iso....i can oly see 1.6 gb iso but noet 4.78gb image | 21:45 |

| AssociateX | BluesKaj, URL ^^^^' | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kodierer: did you have Lucid on there before? | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | iHarp: its a dead release dude | 21:46 |
| heroknights | actionparsnip i pressed Alt+F2 and nothing happend | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | heroknights: or run it in a termninal | 21:46 |
| iHarp | Works fine for me. | 21:46 |
| kodierer | the hoster makes some images available, you choose one and press install | 21:47 |
| heroknights | one problem | 21:47 |
| kodierer | then you can ssh in | 21:47 |
| heroknights | i cant scroll up | 21:47 |
| kodierer | so it's an automatic installation from some image i guess | 21:47 |
| MonkeyDust | myhero i don't know if a 4.7gig iso exists, maybe someone else knows | 21:47 |
| myhero | ok | 21:48 |
| kodierer | and the old hd contents are deleted | 21:48 |
| altan | tking, sudo chmod ugo+rw /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 21:48 |
| iHarp | Actionparsnip: It may be dead, but it's the only thing that works. It is actually rather stable | 21:48 |
| altan | tking, is what i meant | 21:48 |
| sacarlson | kodierer: I assume if it point to repo of 10.04 then that must be what it is | 21:48 |

| altan | tking, get it all sorted out? | 21:53 |
| tking | altan yes i did, i dont know how to ask for more | 21:54 |
| altan | aristidesfl, you should try partitioning with gpart first | 21:54 |

| altan | aristidesfl, yeah, same thing it was a type on my part :P | 21:54 |

| sacarlson | kodierer: might want to try one of the hosters other options as I would think if you need to install anything the chance of you breaking it would be very high | 21:56 |
| aristidesfl | altan the partition on the usb stick is ext3 | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: ahh, keyserver.ubuntu.com is having issues | 21:57 |
| alusion | ActionParsnip, I might have to, as the connection is refusing for another repository as well... | 21:57 |
| alusion | That might explain it, should I just wait then? | 21:57 |
| altan | aristidesfl, it shouldn't really matter, either is ok | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: just add the ppa manually, then you can switch keyservers using command | 21:58 |

| sacarlson | kodierer: that's a posiblilty L3top | 22:00 |
| alusion | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/LwyZHZzw | 22:01 |
| AssociateX | For anyone that knows about my flash problem, do you have a suggestion for where else I could go to find a solution to my problem? | 22:01 |
| sacarlson | kodierer: however if they mestup the source list what else did they mess up on the install L3top | 22:01 |
| aristidesfl | how can I see how much free space to I have in the disk? | 22:02 |
| kodierer | oh, what's an l3top? | 22:02 |
| L3top | me | 22:02 |
| OerHeks | aristidesfl, df -h or free | 22:02 |
| altan | aristidesfl, don't partition if you don't have a backup! | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: dude you need to remove the oneiric sources you have | 22:02 |
| kodierer | oh ;D | 22:02 |
| altan | aristidesfl, you can look at other partition data with disk utility | 22:02 |
| kodierer | well 11.04 image has oneiric references | 22:03 |
| kodierer | like it is supposed to be | 22:03 |
| L3top | alusion: gpgs=$(apt-get update |& grep -s NO_PUBKEY | awk '{ print $NF }' | cut -c 9-16); if [ -n $gpgs ]; then for gpg in $gpgs; do gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys $gpg; gpg --export --armor $gpg | apt-key add -; done; fi that should add ANY gpg key. | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top: nice | 22:03 |
| kodierer | sorry ;) | 22:04 |
| alusion | that is a beautiful command L3top, did that come out of knowledge or reference ? | 22:04 |
| aristidesfl | altan I don't have a desktop environment | 22:04 |
| L3top | It is part of an installer I wrote. | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: you should remove the oneiric sources you have in all of /etc/apt and below, it will give you issues | 22:04 |
| altan | aristidesfl, have you tried booting from the usb? gparted and disk utility are available on there | 22:04 |
| enapupe | hi, i'm looking for a audio player similar to foobar2k, any thoughts? | 22:05 |
| aristidesfl | altan I don't have a desktop environment | 22:05 |
| alusion | ActionParsnip, what command would I issue to do such? | 22:05 |
| aristidesfl | so I don't have gparted nor disk utility | 22:05 |
| quidnunc | enapupe: A apt-cache search foobar yields lxmusic | 22:05 |
| OerHeks | aristidesfl, then " df -h " will do | 22:06 |

| enapupe | quidnunc: i'm having some issues with audio playback, have them on rythmbox and banshee | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: try: grep -R oneiric /etc/apt/* | 22:06 |
| enapupe | quidnunc: now i don't think switching players will solve it | 22:06 |
| quidnunc | !audio | enapupe | 22:06 |
| ubottu | enapupe: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

| alusion | ActionParsnip, the command did not work, I navigated to /etc/apt and I see apt.conf and auth.conf | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | GeeksOnHugs: you can put apps in /opt if you want, you will need to manually integrate it into the OS | 22:09 |
| tking | altan, thanks bro for ur help | 22:09 |
| altan | tking, no problem! | 22:10 |
| quidnunc | GeeksOnHugs: Don't do that. What is the program? | 22:10 |

| GeeksOnHugs | quidnunc ActionParsnip : two progams (one library) Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK | 22:10 |
| GeeksOnHugs | so not /opt? | 22:10 |
| GeeksOnHugs | what is /opt for | 22:10 |

| GeeksOnHugs | OK, and then the SDK? | 22:11 |
| GeeksOnHugs | I installed java in /usr/lib/java | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | GeeksOnHugs: you can drop your own apps in there if you want, it's good for people who manually install firefox without using PPAs etc | 22:11 |
| GeeksOnHugs | maybe the SDK in /usr/lib ? | 22:11 |

| checkmate | hello everyone can someone please help me with my rfkill issue? my wireless card is soft blocked and I dont know why. I have tried sudo rfkill unblock all and I have tried unblocking the specific interface. | 22:16 |
| gld1982ltd | hello all. i have just installed 12.04 and the screen is very unclear. i have a geforce 5700 video card that usually uses nvidia 173. this is a fresh install of 12.04 using th nouveau driver. is there a way to fix this? | 22:16 |
| quidnunc | GeeksOnHugs: Use the repo version unless you can name a feature you need from a newer version | 22:16 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd try installing the nvidia driver | 22:16 |
| GeeksOnHugs | quidnunc ah, I see...kk...what about if I used the ubuntu app store then | 22:16 |
| GeeksOnHugs | is the app store same as repo command line? | 22:17 |
| bekks | GeeksOnHugs: That will give you the version from the repo, | 22:17 |
| quidnunc | GeeksOnHugs: I assume it distributes what is in the repositories | 22:17 |
| gld1982ltd | checkmate: synaptic won't let me and jockey doesn't have any drivers available. | 22:17 |
| GeeksOnHugs | kk thank you guys :) | 22:17 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd what is the error you are getting from synaptic? It should be as easy as enabling the restricted driver | 22:17 |
| checkmate | again, can someone please help me with my wireless card issue? rfkill is saying my wireless card is soft blocked and I cannot enable it | 22:18 |
| gld1982ltd | checkmate: Could not apply changes! | 22:18 |
| gld1982ltd | Fix broken packages first. | 22:18 |
| Nuclear_muffin | I was having a problem i fixed it but, when i tried to boot it said gnu grub version 1.99 and a bunch of other things i fixed it but i am wondering why it happend and if it will again | 22:18 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd please click on the ubuntu button and search for "Additional Drivers" then try activating the nvidia accelerated graphics driver | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dadsputer: then it should mount automagicaly if it's a data disk with data on it, if it's blank you don't need tomount it (and you won't be able to) | 22:19 |
| GeeksOnHugs | BTW, in theory it looks like ActionParsnip was right about /opt according to the wikipedia article which says /opt is for application software and /bin is for essential commands | 22:19 |
| gld1982ltd | checkmate: ther are no drivers listed in jockey. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | GeeksOnHugs: :) | 22:20 |
| gld1982ltd | checkmate: are nvidia 173 drivers compatible with 12.04? | 22:20 |
| Nuclear_muffin | I was having a problem i fixed it but, when i tried to boot it said gnu grub version 1.99 and a bunch of other things i fixed it but i am wondering why it happend and if it will again | 22:20 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd im sorry then this problem may be over my head. Have you tried sudo apt-get install -f | 22:21 |
| AssociateX | gld1982ltd, I'm going through that right now, no | 22:21 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd if its on the nvidia website and is a linux driver it will work in ubuntu ive done this myself | 22:21 |

| checkmate | can someone please help me with my rfkill issue? | 22:21 |
| bekks | The nvidia-173 is in the repos, too. | 22:21 |
| AssociateX | nvidia-173 has a broken dep | 22:22 |
| gld1982ltd | bekks: synaptic is calling it broken. | 22:22 |
| checkmate | cant you just download the driver off of the nvidia website and install it? | 22:22 |
| checkmate | I think ive done this | 22:22 |
| BrutusRex | Can anyone help me? I can't get my display working, I'm in CLI mode. | 22:22 |
| AssociateX | gld1982ltd, it is broken, you have to down grade you xorg if you want it installed. | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | checkmate: you can but it won't upgrade as the repos are upgraded | 22:22 |
| checkmate | hmm hold on I think I found an additional repo you can add and you can install from there | 22:23 |
| gld1982ltd | AssociateX: so how can i fix my screen issues with nouveau? the screen is all fuzzy and dim. | 22:23 |
| gld1982ltd | checkmate: that would be awesome. | 22:24 |
| checkmate | gld1982ltd: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/06/nvidia-drivers-collection-for.html | 22:24 |

| jagginess | aristidesfl, just use parted/gparted.. | 22:49 |
| L3top | AssociateX: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer while you are at it... | 22:50 |
| L3top | AssociateX: you are not going to be WORSE off... and it is Open Source... | 22:50 |
| aristidesfl | jagginess parted said it was not a good ideas to use it in order to create file systesm | 22:50 |
| AssociateX | L3top, will lightspark automagically do everything the flashplugin was supposed to do? | 22:50 |
| L3top | everything is a really strong word AssociateX. It is a reverse engineer of sue happy closed source software. It does "ok" | 22:51 |
| AssociateX | L3top, thank you | 22:51 |
| eph3meral | ActionParsnip, isn't Cedega deprecated? | 22:53 |
| L3top | AssociateX: should play youtube and stuff... might not get all of the advertizing you are "supposed" to... lol | 22:53 |
| eph3meral | i thought that project was/had-been dead for a couple years | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | AssociateX, else you could try, is enable html5 > http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 22:53 |
| eph3meral | last I saw, on their web page they were like "hey, here's some bland brick buiding outside of ontario, cool huh?" | 22:54 |
| eph3meral | and, that... was it | 22:54 |
| L3top | AssociateX: strongly recommend OerHeks recommendation as well... which will do... a lot... but for now a lot of the world is on flash. Hulu desktop is simply not going to work, etc... | 22:54 |
| AssociateX | OerHeks, that's fine for youtube, but the facebook photo uploader for lots of photos is flash | 22:55 |
| AssociateX | oh well. | 22:55 |
| * L3top cringes... not a strong expectation that will go | 22:55 | |

| DelphiWorld | i'm trying kernel 3.5 | 23:01 |
| DelphiWorld | ubuntu build | 23:01 |
| DelphiWorld | but after setting up 3.5 | 23:01 |
| FloodBot1 | DelphiWorld: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:01 |
| DelphiWorld | i lose all my interfaces | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: kernel 3.5 isn't suitable for Precise | 23:02 |
| DelphiWorld | Shut up FloodBot1 | 23:02 |
| chimney | DelphiWorld: are you a fan of delhpi O.O? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: try hitting enter less | 23:02 |
| DelphiWorld | ActionParsnip: only testing | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: I'd say the test failed | 23:02 |
| OerHeks | DelphiWorld, we would have known the answer. | 23:02 |
| DelphiWorld | :-) | 23:02 |
| MonkeyDust | DelphiWorld result of the test: you lose all your interfaces | 23:03 |
| DelphiWorld | chimney: i was but linux touk me out | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chimney: you can see if the interface has an IP, or do a ping test via the interface and if you get a reply, it is up :) | 23:03 |
| L3top | chimney: cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate will give you up or down... what do you wanna do from there? | 23:03 |

| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: what are you testing the kernel for? | 23:03 |
| DelphiWorld | ActionParsnip: DVB drivers;-) | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: does the dvb work? | 23:04 |
| DelphiWorld | ActionParsnip: no, allmost all drivers gone! | 23:04 |

| harovali | hi ! I'm using ubuntu 12.04 happily , and I can print for instance from libreoffice calc without a problem. However,neither from evince, nor from mozilla (f.i. a mail from gmail) does the printer print, abeit it lets me select correctly the Samsung SCX-4623-Series laser printer. What might be missing ? (printer either plain text nor a .pdf file from the lpr command line utility does print, although it does not give an erro | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: I'd say the test was a resounding failure. Probably because the kernel is not made for Precise | 23:05 |
| DelphiWorld | ActionParsnip: ;) | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | altan: those centrino devices have issues connecting to n networks most times | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | DelphiWorld: could try Quantal liveCD, see ifit works there | 23:07 |

| altan | rgb247, you can look for one in the software center, I havn't had to use ftp on Ubuntu yet, however I used to use Cyberduck, which I'm not sure works | 23:47 |
| KickMeElmo | denebeim, mine went away by switching to Unity 2D. Can't say it'll fix yours, but it's worth a shot. | 23:48 |

| jerry_l | oh there it is the wireless "N" 2.4/5ghz 5ghz is what i meant... my bad,. all good. | 23:48 |

| [Relic] | just trying to dump one drive onto the other as a backup and keep what is already there | 23:56 |
| KickMeElmo | I do have pulseaudio installed, yes. And no, there is no /etc/asound.conf. | 23:56 |

| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| KickMeElmo | Altan, no clue, I don't spend time here generally. Action, checking. | 23:59 |
| L3top | KickMeElmo: I have to do a little research to apply the alsa settings to pulse. Typically pulse is installed to deal with the weirdness of alsa... which is all I really understand. Gonna take me a min. | 23:59 |
