| DCheck2 | Hi I have been having flash rendering problems on my emachines t2692 running ubuntu 11.10, i have tried other versions of flash and using compizconfig to speed things up, is there anything else i can do, as i know its not my internet connection the site ran well on my old pc running vista | 00:00 |
| KickMeElmo | output here: http://pastebin.com/206rZHJv | 00:00 |
| KickMeElmo | Thanks altan. Been around five years since I used IRC last. | 00:01 |
| uni4dfx | Crap, do-release-upgrade hung during upgrade and I had to kill it and now it won't resume. Had to do apt-get dist-upgrade -f. How screwed am I? | 00:01 |
| KickMeElmo | Also, not a worry about taking time. You're providing help, and regardless of result that's more than I've got so far. | 00:01 |
| AssociateX | OK, back, now to resume trying to figure out my flash problem | 00:02 |
| r3dLunchb0x | gnome keeps making me login even after ubuntu login screen, how can I turn this off? | 00:02 |
| GeekAdmin | ActionParsnip: okay cool. And its possible to modify it to use gnome or gnome classic? | 00:02 |

| lou__ | does anyone know how I can check if openjdk6 is being used by ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | KickMeElmo: does the system have a make and model? Are you wanting HDMI audio? | 00:03 |
| === help is now known as Guest48245 | ||
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: type in a terminal: java -version | 00:03 |
| lou__ | rather, how to check which jdk is being used by eclipse, specifically | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | lou__: java -version will tell you | 00:03 |
| AssociateX | DCheck2, I have the plugin installed, it shows as installed in the browser but nothing flash works on any web pages. I've been working on this for 2 days now. | 00:03 |
| GeekAdmin | ActionParsnip: okay thanks :-) | 00:03 |
| KickMeElmo | ActionParsnip: The system's built from parts by me. If you'd like to know individual components, ask away. | 00:03 |
| === Guest48245 is now known as neoh | ||
| KickMeElmo | And yes, I have 2.0 HDMI audio. I want 7.1 HDMI audio. | 00:04 |
| AssociateX | DCheck2, I have two browsers, flash doesn't work in either, chromium or firefox. | 00:04 |
| lou__ | Thank you. It's weird that when am stepping through the source code for openjdk6 in eclipse, I am actually stepping through the comments section | 00:04 |
| uni4dfx | Maybe it's better this way. Last time do-release-upgrade screwed up my GRUB. | 00:04 |
| AcidRain2012 | AssociateX: install flash from repos | 00:04 |
| === neoh is now known as ni0h | ||

| DCheck2 | AssociateX, I have been working on my system close to a week, flash works but however it loads in a very laggy manner, i have had no such luck finding anything online that can answer what to do to enable it to load properly, games for example lag up as soon as i try to interact | 00:05 |
| === neo is now known as Guest97808 | ||
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: you'll have to make sure you get the java6 from oracl'es website | 00:05 |
| === Guest97808 is now known as nei0h | ||
| lou__ | shit, really? | 00:06 |
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: go here and download the one you need for your machine:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u31-download-1501634.html | 00:06 |
| lou__ | i need to get the java6 source code you mean? | 00:06 |
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: no | 00:06 |
| === nei0h is now known as n0x00 | ||
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: just download the package you need for your machine | 00:06 |
| lou__ | fyi, i have sun-java6 installed already | 00:07 |
| === Guest99167 is now known as ponbiki | ||
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__ but you need openjdk? | 00:07 |

| DCheck2 | is there harm in upgrading mesa 7.11 into 8.0.x which utilizes opengl 3.0 i am wondering if this will help my computer display games better | 00:08 |
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: when you type java -version in a terminal window, what does it say? | 00:08 |
| lou__ | which would lead to think that the openjdk source that eclipse is attaching to may not much the jre in use | 00:08 |
| lou__ | let me check | 00:08 |
| lou__ | java version "1.6.0_24" | 00:08 |
| lou__ | OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu3) | 00:08 |
| lou__ | OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) | 00:08 |
| r3dLunchb0x | lou__: it is using openjdk, can you direct msg me? or can I direct msg you? | 00:09 |
| lou__ | of course | 00:09 |
| lou__ | go ahead. thank you | 00:09 |

| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:10 |
| ariel1 | can I install Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu desktop both in the same computer? | 01:11 |
| ariel1 | I'm totally new to it | 01:11 |
| jerry_l | ohhh... :( i remeber bcm4300 :( | 01:11 |

| ActionParsnip | ariel1: sure, you can just add the boot option: text to the desktop OS and it will boot to CLI only :) | 01:12 |
| jerry_l | desk top and server on multiple partitions and grub boot loader. or GRUB2 | 01:12 |
| jerry_l | i thought the server was striped of a few things and had all the extras for network admin | 01:13 |
| ariel1 | ActionParsnip: does this mean i just install Desktop? | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ariel1: may as well | 01:13 |

| ariel1 | I need to run a web server | 01:13 |
| ariel1 | but i prefer the GUI | 01:14 |
| jagginess | ariel1, fix my ubuntu first :) | 01:14 |
| jerry_l | ariel what is the purpose of install ing more than one? | 01:14 |
| ariel1 | jerry_l no purpose, here's what i need: | 01:14 |
| ariel1 | I am new to linux, and I need to run a web server at my small agency | 01:15 |
| icecube45 | Okay, need a bit of help | 01:15 |
| ariel1 | thats why i thought of ubuntu server | 01:15 |
| ariel1 | but at the same time i want the GUI | 01:15 |
| ariel1 | cause i am not good with the Comand Line only | 01:15 |
| ariel1 | what should i do? | 01:16 |
| jerry_l | run the desktop from a live cd you make with our files copied to ram so they are fast and cds and dvds cant get viruses but; | 01:16 |
| jerry_l | if you need inet data stuff like email is a different story due to security. | 01:16 |
| jerry_l | first do you have a extra computer? | 01:17 |
| ariel1 | yes | 01:17 |
| ariel1 | i want the GUI AND the web server | 01:17 |
| ariel1 | i dont mind installing | 01:17 |
| CIDR | uhggg this is annoying. othe rmonitors just don't do a damn thing | 01:18 |
| jerry_l | 2nd what is the size and purpose of the webserver? one way data or both way data(email login enter data)? | 01:18 |
| jagginess | ariel1, you want gui and web server? i thought that was click and install, click and then run.. should be simple really | 01:18 |
| keith__ | Need guidance. When downloading I keep getting the error not enough free space on disk, but I have a 250GB HDD that Ubuntu is on and a 1TB drive as well. Both are no where near full. I am wondering why the error? | 01:18 |
| jagginess | ariel1, ubuntu software center? | 01:18 |
| jerry_l | the actual webserver is APACHE webserver. works real good. | 01:18 |
| jerry_l | did i spell that right> | 01:19 |
| jagginess | jerry_l, you forgot the '2' :) | 01:19 |
| ariel1 | jagginess, jerry, i still dont understand what i should do sorry | 01:19 |
| ariel1 | web server is a small one | 01:19 |
| ariel1 | just to run the sites we design at the agency | 01:20 |
| ariel1 | LAMP, etc | 01:20 |
| jerry_l | keith your downloads are being stored to a temp file that might be limited to the size of your ram (worste case) | 01:20 |
| jagginess | keith__, it may be trying to 'cache' on /tmp which may be limitted on your system.. try using a temporary cache location somewhere not what's already set | 01:20 |
| wylde | ariel1: so it's for an internal development server? | 01:20 |
| ariel1 | YES wylde | 01:21 |
| keith__ | Don't have a clue how to modify to do that. Too new at this. | 01:21 |
| jagginess | ariel1, though you may get a 'hello world' or 'it works!' webpage, not the rest of whatever specifics you want works by click&install.. there's alot of requirements and commands to do to get things working (not all, but a good number) | 01:21 |
| jagginess | ariel1, and this falls out of the ubuntu desktop experience.. you're heading more into the professional server setup area.. and this takes practice experience.. | 01:22 |
| CIDR | got the nvidia to display by playing with the "busid" in the xorg.conf | 01:22 |
| jagginess | keith__, you downloading with firefox? | 01:22 |
| jerry_l | ari - if you have a website built already (webpages) then it should only take about an hour. | 01:22 |
| keith__ | IYes I am | 01:22 |
| wylde | ariel1: then just install the ubuntu desktop version, once that's complete you can simply fully update 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' then install tasksel. 'sudo apt-get install tasksel; sudo tasksel;' then select the lamp otion from the menu | 01:23 |
| jagginess | keith__, um.. how big is the file and what type of filesystem is the 1tb ? | 01:23 |
| jagginess | keith__, you using wubi? | 01:23 |
| wylde | option* | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | CIDR: suprised you can't run all the displays off just the nvidia | 01:24 |
| keith__ | 2.4GB is the filesize, filesystem unsure, and no I have dual boot Win7 & Ubuntu | 01:24 |
| CIDR | ActionParsnip It only support 2... | 01:25 |
| jagginess | keith__, "df -h / "<enter> without quotes | 01:25 |
| jerry_l | keith ram? +3gb 32bit or 64bit? | 01:25 |
| wylde | sadly tasksel isn't installed by default since 10.04 I believe. | 01:25 |
| jagginess | jerry_l, ram isnt disk space | 01:26 |
| keith__ | says /dev/loop0 Size 29GB Used 25G avail 3.2GB ..now I'm confused | 01:26 |
| jagginess | keith__, did you install ubuntu from an .exe / | 01:27 |
| jerry_l | image a disk that has a throughput of 2000MB/sec sustained - and you sill need to learn LINUX! | 01:27 |
| jagginess | keith__, that's wubi | 01:27 |
| keith__ | oh ok | 01:27 |
| === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk | ||
| jagginess | keith__, it's not an ideal ubuntu setup.. but it's slightly slower because its 1 big file on ntfs.. called a loopback file (thats why you see /dev/loop0) | 01:28 |
| keith__ | ok so how to change this? Or can I? | 01:28 |
| jagginess | keith__, not sure.. of the best way.. but the easiest way would be to dump everything you want to keep on a usb drive.. 2-get rid of wubi, 3- install ubuntu (with the real ubuntu iso, not an .exe) | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | CIDR: gah | 01:29 |
| keith__ | so if I clean my download file and move items to folders on the 1TB, would that help the issue | 01:29 |
| webBuilder | hey guys I do not seem to find mysql-admin or mysql-query-browser on synaptic. how can I can install it via package management this two product. Thank you in Advance | 01:29 |
| jagginess | keith__, the ubuntu installer should allow you (real ubuntu install) to resize ntfs to make room for a native linux install (you need 2 partitions for ubuntu- one for / and 1 for swap) | 01:29 |
| webBuilder | I'm using ubuntu 12.4 | 01:29 |
| keith__ | You're probably right, I'll do that. I'm using linux more and more than Win7 | 01:30 |
| wylde | !find mysql-admin | 01:30 |
| ubottu | File mysql-admin found in gammu | 01:30 |
| === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff | ||
| ActionParsnip | webBuilder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Phpmyadmin_and_mysql-admin | 01:30 |
| jagginess | keith__, how many ntfs partitions are on the system? (2 ?) | 01:31 |
| keith__ | yes | 01:31 |
| keith__ | 2 | 01:31 |
| webBuilder | ActionParsnip, thank you so much I'll follow the instruction | 01:31 |
| jagginess | keith__, ok then ubuntu will recognize win7 without problems and add it to the grub menu | 01:31 |
| jerry_l | arial - step 1: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/install_apache_on_ubuntu.html | 01:31 |
| jagginess | keith__, let grub install to the default location when it reaches that point.. (it may be /dev/sda , and you'll still be able to boot win7 from the grub menu later) | 01:32 |
| wylde | !lamp | 01:32 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:32 |
| keith__ | I may ditch Windows 7 completely. Got 2 laptops with it already, and I'm not a serious gamer | 01:32 |
| jagginess | ok.. later.. gtg for now | 01:33 |
| jagginess | :) | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | keith__: makes your systems cheaper too :) | 01:33 |
| keith__ | thank you jagginess | 01:33 |
| jerry_l | arial ? are you there? i am trying to do like 5 things at a time | 01:33 |
| jerry_l | step 2 http://www.debianadmin.com/apache2-web-server-with-php-support-in-ubuntu.html | 01:33 |
| jerry_l | step3 configure your routers and stuff.. | 01:34 |
| jerry_l | keith get puppy linux 128mb and when you run live mode CD /thumb drive it looks the same as an installl and there is a grub tool // just click reinstall grub and it will check the disks for bootable partitions. | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jerry_l: tinycore is smaller :) | 01:38 |
| jerry_l | did i read it wrong? 12MBs.? | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jerry_l: yes, 12Mb, 64Mb version will probably make life easier | 01:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | jerry_l: nope, that's why they call it "tiny"core :) | 01:39 |
| jerry_l | lol :) | 01:39 |

| SomeDamnBody | can anybody tell me what is happening? | 01:43 |
| SomeDamnBody | from what I understand, some system python modules are being installed again within the python virtual env | 01:43 |
| FloodBot1 | SomeDamnBody: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:43 |
| SomeDamnBody | and because the instructions to install allura specifically say that I should use use --system-site package | 01:43 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 01:46 |

| hammommah | nah using it as webstream to other local comp, got it work on 8081 just need to get it to start automatically, its on kids comp anjd they tend to turn off on | 01:49 |
| jerry_l | ki4ro: jerry_l: A bot, a bot? i am not sure? | 01:50 |
| wylde | !startup | hammommah | 01:50 |
| ubottu | hammommah: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 01:50 |
| hammommah | fyi motion worked straight out of the box :) with logitech cam...... zoneminder wouldnt work | 01:50 |
| hammommah | thanks bud | 01:50 |
| ki4ro | jerry_l: A bot or robot is a process that runs pretty much on its own once started | 01:51 |
| jerry_l | at startup or before login was the question. they are different | 01:51 |
| jerry_l | a single script? | 01:52 |

| AssociateX | To anyone who has been following my flash problems. I ran a 12.04 live cd and flash did not work there either. I also tried an old kubuntu livecd and that did not work but that's not saying much. Is it possible that I have a hardware issue that is not letting flash play? | 01:55 |
| jerry_l | are you having a internetflash player issue? | 01:56 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, did you download adobe flash? | 01:56 |
| jerry_l | ( lol:)) | 01:56 |
| AssociateX | jerry_l, yes | 01:56 |
| AssociateX | thiebaude, I'm not sure if there is anything that I haven't tried, but yes, I did that too. | 01:57 |
| thiebaude | ok just checking | 01:57 |
| jerry_l | if it were hardware then puppy linux would not work on it... 128MB ISO.. do you know the rest? | 01:57 |
| jerry_l | i watch youtbue on puppy although some of the broadcom drivers wont wor... | 01:58 |
| AssociateX | jerry_l, I'm trying to stay with ubuntu, but I will check it out if they have a livecd | 01:59 |
| jerry_l | http://puppylinux.com/ | 01:59 |
| IdleOne | jerry_l: You realize this is an Ubuntu support channel right? | 02:00 |
| jerry_l | yep you can run the live cd, but i would seriously recomend installing it on a 1gb+ thumb drive. | 02:00 |
| jerry_l | just dont install grub.. | 02:00 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, just install the live cd and then you will have a choice to install flash , just a suggestion. | 02:00 |
| AssociateX | IdleOne, his answer is a good one, I'm trying figure out if flash is an hardware issue or not. | 02:00 |
| jerry_l | boot the live iso and then click the install button, it will ask where-> point to the thumb drive and tada! | 02:01 |
| aristidesfl | why are this packages not updated ? | 02:01 |
| aristidesfl | he following packages have been kept back: | 02:01 |
| aristidesfl | libsyncdaemon-1.0-1 linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic python-ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client-gnome | 02:01 |
| AssociateX | jerry_l, I'm just interested in the livecd if flash works on it. | 02:02 |
| Lionsh | hello | 02:02 |
| AssociateX | just for testing purposes | 02:02 |
| Lionsh | Anybody help? | 02:02 |
| thiebaude | aristidesfl, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:02 |
| AssociateX | Lionsh, only if you ask a specific question. | 02:02 |
| thiebaude | and then see if that still happpens | 02:02 |
| Lionsh | Yes, thanks I`m beginner but I want build and compile chrome by ubuntu | 02:04 |
| Lionsh | Step by this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Build | 02:04 |
| jerry_l | puppy does not have aflash player but the flashplayer is in the packages to download - takes me about 30mins to install everything i want. might as well save it to a thumb drive and use it in the next situation like this you are in.. | 02:04 |
| AssociateX | jerry_l, does puppy have a livecd or not? | 02:04 |
| Lionsh | But I don`s know next "Building the ubuntu way" | 02:05 |
| AssociateX | jerry_l, does puppy have a livecd *with working flash or not? | 02:05 |
| thiebaude | !compile | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 02:05 |
| jerry_l | and ALSO a hardwar limiation may be over driving the video card? try playing HD vids on it... | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jerry_l: or you can just copy the plugin file to the plugin folder :) | 02:06 |
| jerry_l | the ISO does not have flash should take 4mins to download and install. | 02:06 |
| Lionsh | Thanks to the page | 02:06 |
| thiebaude | your welcomed Lionsh | 02:07 |
| Lionsh | ^^ | 02:08 |
| AssociateX | This is much to ask, but does anyone know if flash works on the Ubuntu 12.04 install/livecd? | 02:09 |
| AssociateX | The gui one | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | AssociateX: if you install the plugin it will | 02:09 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, i did for me | 02:09 |
| thiebaude | it | 02:09 |
| AssociateX | ActionParsnip, it didn't for me | 02:09 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, youtube prompted for me to install, even tho i was testing a live cd | 02:09 |
| AssociateX | thiebaude, so you can boot 12.04 and watch youtube videos? | 02:10 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, yes after i downloaded the plugin | 02:10 |
| AssociateX | thiebaude, OK, that did not work for me. | 02:10 |
| thiebaude | thats weird | 02:10 |
| AssociateX | Heck yeah it is | 02:10 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, download it from software center | 02:11 |
| jagginess | AssociateX, flash under linux is stable (32bit and 64bit) | 02:11 |
| AssociateX | thiebaude, I've been trying for 2 days now to get flash working on my pc | 02:11 |
| thiebaude | wow | 02:11 |
| thiebaude | AssociateX, install the live cd | 02:11 |
| AssociateX | jagginess, thanks, it was working two weeks ago before I went on vacation. | 02:12 |
| AssociateX | thiebaude, I did a fresh install, still not working. | 02:12 |
| thiebaude | ok | 02:12 |
| jagginess | AssociateX, "about:plugins" in url should say whether you're using the adobe version or not | 02:12 |
| aristidesfl | thiebaude isn't that risky? | 02:13 |
| AssociateX | The plugins show in chromium and firefox but nothing at all works that is flash. | 02:13 |

| icecube45 | its 192.168.2.1 for me | 03:06 |
| icecube45 | ive all ready port fowarded | 03:06 |
| altan | icecube45, have you tried rebooting your router? | 03:07 |
| icecube45 | yup | 03:07 |
| Jagst3r15 | for phpmyadmin it is saying access denies or something | 03:07 |
| icecube45 | all my other computers port foward fine | 03:07 |
| icecube45 | its just the one running ubuntu that has the problem | 03:07 |
| icecube45 | and its my hosting computer.. | 03:07 |
| Jagst3r15 | sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 03:07 |
| Jagst3r15 | woops | 03:07 |
| AssociateX | dr_willis, that does work for youtube but it does not help with say for example facebooks mass photo uploader. | 03:08 |
| icecube45 | altan: ive seen examples of this on the forums | 03:08 |
| icecube45 | but they all say "i solved it" and dont say how | 03:08 |
| altan | icecube45, are you forwarding with udp or tcp | 03:09 |
| icecube45 | both | 03:09 |
| Jagst3r15 | nvm | 03:09 |
| QQ12 | thanks for the help, everyone. | 03:09 |
| altan | icecube45, set it to udp | 03:09 |
| icecube45 | okay | 03:10 |
| altan | icecube45, make sure it is set to port 25565 and restart your router | 03:10 |
| icecube45 | altan | 03:10 |
| icecube45 | i changed the port for security reasons | 03:10 |
| icecube45 | but i configured it right | 03:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | icecube45: changing the port doesn't do much | 03:11 |
| icecube45 | i know | 03:11 |
| icecube45 | but it makes me feel better | 03:11 |
| icecube45 | :3 | 03:11 |
| altan | icecube45, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you have no other applications using that port | 03:12 |
| icecube45 | altan | 03:12 |
| icecube45 | ill try again | 03:12 |
| icecube45 | and let you know | 03:12 |
| AssociateX | anyone else want to take a stab at my flash issue? I have the flash plugin installed, chromium and firefox see it, but flash does not work in either browser. I've been working on this for 2 days now. | 03:12 |
| jthan | AssociateX: still trying, huh? :-/ Nobody else had the same issue after they updated yesterday? | 03:12 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: tried any other browser? | 03:12 |
| AssociateX | jthan, yeah, still trying. | 03:13 |
| L3top | He has... ActionPa1snip is that you? | 03:13 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, you name it, I'll install it. | 03:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | L3top: yeah, looks like my nick is confused :( | 03:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: Opera | 03:13 |
| serdotlin | AssoiateX: try Google Chrome maybe, no need to install flash...but i heard it sucks on google + sites...too bad | 03:13 |
| AssociateX | Oh, opera, how delicious, installing now. | 03:14 |

| icecube45 | quick question | 03:15 |
| icecube45 | can i set a certain file to open with one program, but others not to | 03:15 |
| icecube45 | like for instance, to open with openjdk7, when i want others to open with openjdk6? | 03:15 |
| altan | !enter | icecube45 | 03:16 |
| ubottu | icecube45: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:16 |
| icecube45 | Sorry1 | 03:16 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, does not show up in synapic | 03:16 |
| icecube45 | Habbit! | 03:16 |
| xangua | AssociateX: opera.com | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | icecube45: you mean like the file 'foobar.txt' to open with gedit. but other .txt to open with geany? | 03:16 |
| icecube45 | yes | 03:16 |
| icecube45 | like that | 03:16 |
| icecube45 | sorry about the enter | 03:16 |
| jthan | L3top: what happened when your update finished? | 03:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | !opera | AssociateX | 03:17 |
| ubottu | AssociateX: Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | icecube45: you could always add specicic 'open with program foo' to the context menus. | 03:17 |
| icecube45 | Could you explain? | 03:17 |
| L3top | jthan: ... I am not sure what your question means. | 03:17 |
| altan | icecube45, right click on your file and go into properties, it should be in the last tab | 03:18 |
| jthan | L3top: Weren't you going to upgrade flash last night? Sorry :-p I'm in the middle of biology reading. | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | icecube45: nautilus has scripting features. you see some menuu items when you roight click on a file.. that can be setup to run specific apps with the iitem as a argument. | 03:18 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list; wget -O . http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - | 03:18 |

| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring opera | 03:18 |
| icecube45 | So, do i need to install a program? | 03:18 |
| icecube45 | or a package? | 03:19 |
| === rowan is now known as Guest41384 | ||
| altan | icecube45, no | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | icecube45: depending on the details of what you want to do. you may need to make your own nautilus script. but there may be other ways to do whater it was you were wanting to do. | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | icecube45: clarify exaxtly whast it is yiu want to do | 03:20 |
| AssociateX | L3top, still working on flash. | 03:20 |
| icecube45 | dr_willis, i think ill just forget about it, thanks anyways | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | you can always drag/drop into the app youi are wanting to use :) | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | or onto its icon | 03:21 |
| altan | icecube45, right click on the item and hit properties, then go into the tab titles "Open With" | 03:21 |
| icecube45 | altan | 03:22 |
| icecube45 | if i set one file to default, the rest are set to open with that as well | 03:22 |
| L3top | jthan: Yes. I did upgrade flash, and had no issues. I have been trying to help AssociateX throughout the day... I have no solution which makes flash not suck, and gets his facebook thing working. | 03:22 |
| wylde | there is no easy way to accomplish that anyway. Each file would have to have something to distinguish it from other files of the same type. eg. the shebang in bash and sh script !#/bin/bash ! and #/bin/sh | 03:22 |
| altan | icecube45, then just do as dr_willis said and drag them onto the application in your sidebar which you want to open with | 03:23 |
| wylde | err !#bin/sh -.- ...illiterate fingers | 03:23 |
| AssociateX | I'm about to tear my sleeves off and kick a chair over this flash thing! | 03:23 |
| altan | !who | wylde | 03:24 |
| ubottu | wylde: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:24 |
| dr_willis | And flash gets closer and closer to the grave with each passing day.. ;) | 03:24 |
| altan | dr_willis, the sooner the better! | 03:24 |
| * dr_willis envisions the farmville owners buying adobe just for flash... to keep farmville going... | 03:25 | |
| * icecube45 shudders | 03:25 | |
| Ferris | 03:25 | |
| L3top | I do not understand his flash issue. I cannot reproduce it. He does not error on it. nvidia-173 is broken in precise, but through downgrading xorg, we got it running... still no flash. I do not have an explaination or understanding of the root problem. Either the 2 day old flash player has broken nouvau AND all legacy nvidia drivers... or... something is brokedybroke that I cannot find on their machine. I am spent. | 03:25 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, opera says "plug-in has crashed" | 03:26 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: could try linking the .so to ~/.opera/plugins folder | 03:26 |
| jagginess | L3top, well flash is 99% perfect here on pangolin.. I get a "blue" skin tone on *certain (not all) youtube videos.. (somebody else mentioned it too here last week) | 03:27 |
| L3top | I can solve blue flash | 03:27 |
| jagginess | (reported bug/errors with ~/.xsession-errors) | 03:27 |
| dr_willis | jagginess: known issue.. with several fixs :) askubuntu.com has some info on it | 03:27 |
| tubaman | jagginess, you got nvidia? | 03:27 |
| L3top | this flash prob I have no effing clue. | 03:27 |
| Ferris | 2 | 03:27 |
| jagginess | L3top, with the 'color' hint issue? because that's the error i get | 03:27 |
| dr_willis | smurfy look - one fix - disable hardware acceleration in the flash settings. | 03:28 |
| jagginess | tubaman, yes. and I tried both packaged as well as latest non-packaged. | 03:28 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, I did a ln -s for firefox, mozilla, and chromium, didn't work. Want me to try for opera while I'm at it? | 03:28 |
| altan | AssociateX, have you tried making it work with onboard graphics if you have them? | 03:28 |
| AssociateX | L3top, funny thing is I can play youtube videos on vlc and another player. | 03:29 |
| altan | AssociateX, youtube uses html5, right? | 03:29 |
| AssociateX | altan, how would I test for onboard graphics? | 03:29 |
| tubaman | jagginess, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=177380 | 03:29 |
| altan | AssociateX, you would have to take out your video card | 03:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: worth a shot | 03:30 |
| L3top | No | 03:30 |
| AssociateX | altan, html5 are the only vids that work on youtube, nothing flash. | 03:30 |
| L3top | ok.. do it.. .but | 03:30 |
| L3top | that isn't it. | 03:30 |
| L3top | IF the gpu is NOT already onboard | 03:30 |
| xangua | jagginess: did you try to disable flash hadrware acceleration¿ | 03:31 |
| AssociateX | L3top, what? | 03:31 |
| L3top | Nothing. | 03:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | jagginess: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null | 03:31 |
| jagginess | tubaman, cool. But I wouldn't know if it has something to do with ubuntu's modifications to the kernel. I do get "color hinting" errors in ~/.xsession when I startup flash in firefox | 03:31 |
| AssociateX | L3top, about taking out my graphics card? | 03:31 |
| * L3top is willing to bet that you cannot adhere to the request. | 03:31 | |
| L3top | yes AssociateX. | 03:32 |
| tubaman | jagginess, the mods in that nvidia post worked for me[tm] | 03:32 |
| jagginess | tubaman, i'm betting it's likely directed towards a ubuntu modification | 03:32 |
| jagginess | tubaman, thanks i'll check that out.. | 03:32 |
| icecube45 | okay guys, while i test my port fowarding, one more problem | 03:32 |
| icecube45 | when my computer comes out of suspend mode, i cant connect to the internet, and have to reboot before i can connect | 03:33 |
| L3top | I am guessing... based what I remember of your chipset... this is not a "card", but an onboard GPU | 03:33 |
| L3top | AssociateX: ^ | 03:33 |
| icecube45 | altan, still not wkring, the port fowarding | 03:34 |
| altan | icecube45, what have you tried? | 03:35 |
| AssociateX | L3top, geforce fx5200, I can unplug it. I just don't know if there is an intergrated gpu on my motherboard. | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | altan | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | i changed to plain udp | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | rebooted my router | 03:35 |
| altan | icecube45, make sure you're portforwarding to the correct ip address | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | and put up the server | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | tried canyouseeme.org | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | cant connect | 03:35 |
| icecube45 | altan: can u explain? | 03:36 |
| icecube45 | do you meen the right internal ip? | 03:36 |
| L3top | AssociateX: if so... you need to look at your bios to reinable... but... ugh. | 03:36 |
| altan | icecube45, make sure you're portforwarding to the correct local ip | 03:36 |
| altan | icecube45, your local ip is dynamic and will change unless you change it to static | 03:36 |
| icecube45 | altan: i know that, im testing with the dynamic one, it has the right one tho | 03:36 |
| icecube45 | its very strange | 03:37 |
| altan | icecube45, what model is your router? | 03:37 |
| icecube45 | um | 03:37 |
| icecube45 | Beklin F5D8230-4 | 03:37 |
| AssociateX | L3top, I do not have onboard graphics. My geforce fx 5200 is all that I have. | 03:39 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: i don't see the video crashing flash tbh. Have you tried Unity2D session? | 03:39 |
| altan | icecube45, try this link and change it around a bit to match the port you want to use. http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D8230-4/Minecraft_Server.htm | 03:40 |
| icecube45 | Altan | 03:40 |
| Jagst3r15 | when I do this apt-get install wordpress php5-gd it says permission denied | 03:40 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, tbh=to be honest? | 03:40 |
| icecube45 | i port fowarded exactly to that | 03:40 |
| Jagst3r15 | any ideas guys? | 03:40 |
| ezoe | hmm, interesting. I said before that sometimes compiz fail to lunch. I reseted compiz setting and so far, it never fail. | 03:40 |
| icecube45 | it has something to do with the ubuntu i think | 03:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | jagginess: prefix with sudo | 03:40 |
| altan | Jagst3r15, type sudo before your command | 03:40 |
| icecube45 | it works on all my other computers | 03:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | AssociateX: indeed | 03:40 |
| Jagst3r15 | ah im so noob! thnx | 03:40 |
| AssociateX | ActionPa1snip, I have tried ubuntu2d and also blackbox for the hell of it. No worky. | 03:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | jagginess: you are running the command as user, so you need sudo (assuming your user is in the 'admin'group) | 03:41 |
| Jagst3r15 | dang | 03:41 |
| Jagst3r15 | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:41 |
| altan | icecube45, are you sure you didn't mess up anything in the server config? | 03:41 |
| icecube45 | Altan, im sure, i own many servers | 03:41 |
| altan | Jagst3r15, it won't work if you're installing something else. let whatever else you're doing finish then try | 03:41 |
| Jagst3r15 | nothing else installing :C | 03:42 |
| altan | icecube45, its hard to help without any kind of error | 03:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | jagginess: is software centre open? | 03:42 |
| icecube45 | altan, i know | 03:42 |
| icecube45 | its really wierd | 03:42 |
| icecube45 | i wish it would work | 03:42 |
| icecube45 | cause this is my best computer | 03:42 |
| bazhang | icecube45, stop with the enter key | 03:42 |
| altan | icecube45, try running the server's windows edition through wine and see if that works | 03:42 |
| altan | !wine | icecube45 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | icecube45: 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 | 03:43 |
| AssociateX | Jagst3r15, software center or synaptic open? | 03:43 |
| Jagst3r15 | AssociateX i am jsut going to install the old one in the software center | 03:43 |
| icecube45 | Bazhang: im sorry, really bad habit im trying to break | 03:43 |
| Jagst3r15 | worpress updates anyways so its cool | 03:44 |
| icecube45 | alton, its in a .jar it shouldnt matter if windows or not | 03:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | Jagst3r15: if software centre is open it locks the packages so that no other process can touch them | 03:44 |
| icecube45 | altan* | 03:44 |

| icecube45 | ubuntu is the only laptop it doesnt work on | 03:45 |
| AssociateX | so flash, totally weird that it's not working for me. I've tried everything and I have had some really smart people helping me. Plugin is installed, flash on three different browsers does not work, youtube on vlc does work. Is this permissions, hardware, or what? | 03:46 |
| altan | icecube45, is another server on the connection using the port? perhaps trying another port could work | 03:46 |
| icecube45 | altan, im not running anything else | 03:46 |
| Jagst3r15 | AssociateX it there are two wordpress waiting to install but one says waiting for apt-get to exit | 03:47 |

| starbuck | hi all, i'm running 12.04 and would like to know if it is possible to add a program to the unity bar on the left side, the program has to be started from the shell (it's name is 'ding', a dictionary) so when i start it it appears in the bar but after closing it i cant's start it again... | 05:52 |
| croz | Ok. I did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade then I rebooted | 05:52 |
| croz | the problem persists. | 05:52 |
| jagginess | starbuck, probably with gnome-extensions (ppa), but it was very broken when i tried to use any gnome-extension | 05:53 |
| r00t___ | wylde: JoseeAntonioR: Now the program installed in a different directory and I can't launch the program....hold on | 05:54 |
| AssociateX | I just burned ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386, I'm going to see if this solves my flash problem... I really doubt that it will, but what the heck? | 05:55 |
| starbuck | jagginess: i don't even have gnome-extension, apt-cache search can't find it | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | starbuck: you coule make a script that runs the app. then make a desktop file to run the script and put that in the panel if you wanted | 05:56 |
| starbuck | jagginess: sounds good, thx... | 05:57 |
| wylde | r00t___: 'sudo updatedb; locate appname;'' | 05:58 |

| wylde | r00t___: alrighty | 06:01 |
| starbuck | dr_willis: how can i run it from desktop? | 06:02 |
| wylde | r00t___: I was suggesting that in case you needed to locate where the file(s) went | 06:02 |
| dr_willis | starbuck: run which/what? normally your script wwould be in your /home/username/bin dir. then you can make a .desktop file that runs the sxript. it xan go anywhere. but theres .config/SOMHTHING dir it can go in if you want it in your normal menus | 06:03 |
| r00t___ | wylde: not working :/ | 06:03 |
| wylde | r00t___: hmm | 06:03 |

| fidel | omido: i do see: acroread as package | 06:07 |
| fidel | and some language-realted additional adobe packages via apt | 06:07 |

| omido | fidel, i use Ubuntu software center and my searches there for Adobe , PDF , Acrobat etc has no useful resault | 06:08 |
| croz | this damn asus eeepc :( | 06:08 |

| wylde | croz: I wonder how different the 950 is from 945 | 06:09 |
| croz | why's that? | 06:10 |
| jagginess | omido, apt-get update, does it show errors? | 06:10 |
| wylde | croz: possibly installing mesa and mesa-utils may help | 06:10 |
| jagginess | Dan-mc, glibc ? sounds like an old package out there.. you using a tarball? | 06:10 |
| fidel | omido: open terminal and enter: apt-cache search adobe reader | 06:10 |

| croz | wylde how do i go about doing that? | 06:11 |
| Dan-mc | jagginess, well im trying to get my mod_rewrite to work and it needs that on the server | 06:11 |
| croz | apt-get install mesa | 06:11 |
| croz | ? | 06:11 |

| fidel | jagginess: yep - slow/unusable | 06:11 |

| jagginess | Dan-mc, mod_rewrite? you talking about apache? | 06:11 |
| Dan-mc | yea | 06:11 |
| wylde | croz naww | 06:12 |
| jagginess | croz, thought you were trying F10 with the temporary trials on the kernel bootline | 06:12 |
| croz | no i just edited it in there | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | starbuck: you make /home/yourusername/bin/ding.sh then make the sh script to run your app how it needs to be ran. | 06:12 |
| croz | and went with it | 06:12 |
| croz | "unable to locate package mesa" | 06:13 |

| wylde | r00t___: you can't launch it after it's installed? What exactly happens? | 06:15 |
| r00t___ | wylde: it says the installation is successful | 06:15 |

| dr_willis | starbuck: you make a whatever.desktop file thats a launcher for it. | 06:16 |
| wylde | r00t___: ok, can you start it from the command line? | 06:16 |
| r00t___ | wylde: I tried but I guess not | 06:16 |

| dr_willis | starbuck: on the desktopo if you want it on the desktop. ;) | 06:17 |
| wylde | croz: try a reboot, after that all I have for you is try installing xserver-xorg-video-intel to see if that helps. | 06:17 |
| starbuck | ok :) | 06:18 |
| r00t___ | wylde: I get the same message that I sent you patebin logs of...about the missing packages | 06:18 |
| wylde | r00t___: when you try to start it? | 06:19 |
| starbuck | dr_willis: thx, it works, but how do i implement the icon for it? | 06:19 |
| r00t___ | wylde: yes | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | run the app. tell it to pin/lock/ to the panel (right click on the panel icon) or drag/drop it to the panel | 06:20 |
| wylde | r00t___: what dr_willis said, after we manage to get it started heh | 06:20 |

| croz | wylde check this out | 06:45 |
| croz | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/199314 | 06:45 |
| lcc | mobius420: I can then do passwd and define one and it works, but it seems like a hack. | 06:45 |
| lcc | mobius420: on fedora it doesn't work this way, either there is a password or there isn't. I think ubuntu's is a bug that works. | 06:46 |
| wylde | croz: looks pretty similar | 06:46 |
| croz | How could we fix this? :( | 06:46 |
| lcc | I just want to not have to enter a password at the lightdm login screen. | 06:46 |
| wylde | croz: the only workaround I see there is to drop to terminal and restart lightdm. | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | you csn set lightdm to autologin, if you wanted to. | 06:47 |
| jagginess | lcc, you can do autostart on non-unity desktops (done it, but not with pangolin, you'll have to edit the lightdm.*.conf probably.. has something to do with lightdm) | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | I do recall giveing users a blank password. where they dident have to enter a pass at lightdm. i cant recall how. perhaps an option to passed | 06:48 |
| wylde | dr_willis: beat me to it. Although I don't recall where the is set on unity | 06:48 |
| lcc | jagginess: yeah, autostart works, just not passwordless login | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | login screen settings i belive. | 06:48 |
| lcc | without a hack that is. | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | using the passwd command is a hack? :) | 06:48 |
| lcc | dr_willis: where can I get to login screen settings? | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | try the hud to serch for it,, alt then 'log' | 06:49 |
| lcc | passwd is not a hack. disabling password from user settings, then enabling with passwd, while login is passwordless is a hack | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | i dont memorize menu structures/paths any mopre ;) | 06:49 |
| wylde | lcc: system settings? I think you can get to them clicking on the cog in the top right of the screen | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | disabling the password is actually disabling the account i belive. | 06:50 |
| wylde | mind you I'm guessing. I don't have a machine with unity running handy to check heh | 06:50 |
| lcc | wylde: I'm in system settings but don't see login screen or anything. | 06:50 |
| dr_willis | in m y phone so i cant look either. l) | 06:50 |

| ionstorm66 | I can't create or convert to LVM mirrors in 12.04 | 06:51 |

| dr_willis | the idea of a user with a blank pssword is such a security red-flag. ;0 | 06:51 |

| lcc | jagginess: It's a friends computer, they want their own account, but don't want to ever have to input their password. | 06:51 |

| wylde | croz: what I'm thinking is a way to automate the xserver restart | 06:53 |
| jagginess | lcc, then move in with him and type his password when he needs to.. | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | i thought you could do a 'sudo passwd -someoption username ' to set a blank passwd.. or perhaps just hit enter when it asks for the passwd | 06:53 |
| jagginess | lcc, your friend is your ubuntu. remember? | 06:53 |
| wylde | lcc: hmmm I'm not sure where it is on 12.04 but my aunt on 10.04 has autologin. Takes her right to her desktop. | 06:54 |

| croz | wylde how can i automate the xserver restart? | 06:55 |
| wylde | croz with a little script. Although I'd much rather avoid that | 06:56 |

| dr_willis | what servers? | 06:59 |
| croz-netbk | ok here i am on my netbook! | 06:59 |
| croz-netbk | wylde what other options do we have if not to use the script to automatically restart X? | 06:59 |
| Karlyle | well, i've yet to read the weechat documentation, and i just wanted to use an irc client that could connect to multiple servers | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | croz why are you wanting to automate restarting of the x server? i missed that reason | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | Karlyle: most all of them can do that. wechat has a quick start guide aat its home page thats worth reading | 07:00 |
| croz | dr_willis: if i do either logout after loggin in then X works correctly. | 07:00 |
| wylde | croz-netbk: fixing the actual issue. heh. | 07:00 |
| croz | or i can do sudo service lightdm restart and it works correctly | 07:00 |
| croz | wylde but the solution is unknown. we havent gotten anywhere | 07:01 |
| croz | i came upon one solution by mistake :( | 07:01 |
| moje | is it possible to chroot from a x64 installation to a x86 one? | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | croz one dirty way.. put a 'sleep 30' then 'service lightdm restgtart' in /etc/rc.local | 07:01 |
| croz | and that's all we have right now :( | 07:01 |
| wylde | dr_willis: that's what I was thinking, but yeah it's such a nasty fix | 07:01 |

| sacarlson | cmol: after the install it will probly be the last installed will become the default so to put it back to the one you like better might look at grub-customers gui package to change defaults | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | _raven: sounds like the various 'sound board' apps ive seen on my android phone. or that i wrote similer to years and years ago on my amiga. ;) | 09:05 |
| cmol | sacarlson, thanks. I'll mess around :) | 09:05 |
| sacarlson | _raven: there is a virtual synthisizer keyboard that will play like a midi player over a number of keys | 09:05 |
| sacarlson | _raven: otherwise you can setup hotkeys to play scripts that make any sound you like | 09:06 |
| _raven | sacarlson you mean any sampler? do you know about any tool that would fit? | 09:07 |
| sacarlson | _raven: sampler midi player? | 09:07 |
| sacarlson | _raven: I'm not sure your looking for music or sound effects or what | 09:08 |
| dr_willis | Burps and Belches on the F Keys. ;) | 09:08 |
| _raven | sacarlson any soundfile i am able to program on my own | 09:08 |
| sacarlson | dr_willis: ya like those | 09:09 |
| mmm4m5m | Hi all. I am trying to make bootable USB (for laptop without CD) using unetbootin ver 471-2 (I have debian squeeze available) and xubuntu 12.04 ISO file... Seems like it fails... In boot loader for example, I see only "default" and "back" - not like screenshots here: http://www.computersnyou.com/2012/03/creating-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin.html | 09:09 |
| sacarlson | _raven: there are many sampleing recording editing tools to make or edit sounds, or do you already have the files you need? | 09:10 |
| _raven | sacarlson no ii mean for live events. the soundfiles are ready and i simply need a lightweight tool that plays theese files by midi keyboard or function keys | 09:11 |
| sacarlson | _raven: if you have the sound files you can just create a bash script that has one line with play yourwavefile.wav | 09:11 |
| _raven | sacarlson i am not so familiar with scripting how would such a line look like? | 09:12 |
| sacarlson | _raven: then add a hotkey that will run that script | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | http://sourceforge.net/projects/soundboard/ | 09:12 |
| sacarlson | _raven: play file.wav | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | googled for 'linux soundboard' :) got several hits | 09:12 |
| _raven | sacarlson ah you mean global hotkey sets ok | 09:12 |
| _raven | i'll try that tnx :) | 09:13 |
| _raven | dr_willis i know but i get 404 for every download link | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | http://soundboard.sourceforge.net/ | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | im on my phone.. so im not downloading it. | 09:14 |
| _raven | dr_willis sry youre right it was another similar tool | 09:14 |
| MonkeyDust | _raven ultimately, you may want to ask in #ubuntustudio, as is more music and multimedia oriented | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | should be a rather trivial app to write. :) if you want to totally customize stuff. | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | I made similer apps Years ago on my amiga in AmigaBasic and CanDo | 09:15 |
| Hendrik1 | morning folks | 09:17 |
| sacarlson | _raven: also might want to look at sampler synthizers like fluidsynth that can be controled by midi sequecers | 09:17 |

| AdvoWork | if im doing wine ...... to load an application, how can i add that to the launcher? | 09:35 |
| AdvoWork | in 12.04 | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | when i install apps via wine - they normally add a icon to the wine menu, you could drag/drop them to teh launcher perhaps. | 09:36 |

| wubino | PPA packages are what I am trying to resolve. | 09:41 |
| ikonia | wubino: what do you mean ? | 09:42 |
| wubino | I lost my key file for some ppa I installed, I nned to find out wich ones to get the keys for. | 09:44 |
| wubino | I am a noob | 09:45 |
| wubino | IYDK | 09:45 |
| serdotlin | which ppa? | 09:45 |
| wubino | better question is how do I pip the errors from my apt-get update to a text file? | 09:46 |
| wubino | GPG Pubkeys | 09:46 |
| peetaur | wubino: Does this work? apt-get update 2>&1 >/path/to/text/file.txt | 09:47 |
| serdotlin | sudo apt-get update >update_error.txt | 09:47 |
| peetaur | wubino: Also to get it both to the file and screen: apt-get update 2>&1 | tee /path/to/text/file.txt | 09:48 |
| qwebirc34477 | can somebody help perhaps? | 09:48 |
| wubino | 2> sends std_err what does | tee do? | 09:49 |
| DJones | qwebirc34477: You need to ask your question first, we don't know if anybody can help until you do that | 09:49 |
| peetaur | 2>&1 means send file descriptor 2 (stderr) to file descriptor 1 (stout), and | means send to a stdin of another commmand, and tee takes a filename as a parameter, and writes both to the screen and the file. | 09:49 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 09:54 |

| AdvoWork | urgh, im confused. I need to open a program via wine, im doing wine .......whatever.exe which works, but it keeps opening a terminal each time. Any ideas please? I created a launcher, set it as run command in terminal like I think i should. Any ideas please? | 09:54 |
| Arash | any GUI compiler ? | 09:54 |
| Arash | for C++ ? | 09:54 |
| Arash | !c++ | 09:55 |
| hateball | AdvoWork: is it a gui app? You dont have to run it in a terminal then | 09:55 |
| dave404e | arash , search for gcc compiler . | 09:56 |
| hateball | !compile | 09:56 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 09:56 |
| Arash | how is codlite then ? | 09:56 |
| Arash | Is it any good ? I used NetBeans before but Its too much to download ... | 09:57 |
| Arash | I need a lightweight one | 09:57 |
| user__ | I am getting a bootmgr missing and I have no windows partition. Does that mean I need to reinstall grub. | 09:58 |
| AdvoWork | hateball, yeah gui app | 09:58 |
| yandex381 | Arash: I've never used it, but if you need something very lightweight, you can just code with a text editor and write a simple script to automate compilation | 09:58 |
| hateball | AdvoWork: just running the command as is should work, you dont have to "run it in a terminal" | 09:59 |
| Arash | how yandex381 ? | 09:59 |
| Arash | whats the header for c++ ? | 09:59 |
| hateball | !ot | 09:59 |
| ubottu | #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! | 09:59 |
| AdvoWork | hateball, if i try it without, it won't run :S | 09:59 |
| Arash | @hateball Its a linux question ;) | 10:00 |
| yandex381 | Arash: I suggest you read a book/tutorial on programming... you seem to be a novice | 10:00 |
| hateball | AdvoWork: well wine can be a bit picky. are you running it like "wine ~/whatever.exe" or "wine C:\whatever.exe" ? | 10:00 |
| hateball | AdvoWork: Also I've had some weird issues where you need to be in the current directory of the binary you're running for launchers to work properly, so I've made a script that cd's there first, then runs the wine string | 10:02 |
| arash_ | Im not a beginner yandex | 10:02 |
| user__ | Is a bootmgr missing error a problem with grub | 10:02 |
| AdvoWork | hateball, i'm doing: wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS4/Dreamweaver.exe" | 10:02 |
| arash_ | I always used Visual Studio for programming so I have no idea how to compile a c application in linux | 10:03 |
| serdotlin | arash: try gvim | 10:03 |
| lovingyou | can I change the way ubuntu names the hdds? | 10:04 |
| arash_ | lovingyou yes | 10:04 |
| serdotlin | arash: compile it with gcc | 10:04 |
| arash_ | you gotta go to root directory | 10:05 |
| lovingyou | for some reason I got sda1 2 3, and then sdaa-sdaz | 10:05 |
| dave404e | yes | 10:05 |

| AidsMcGee | Is quantal alpha 2 very stable right now? | 10:07 |

| kevininspain | Hi. Today I have to change my 80 GB HD for one which is 380GB. Is there are way of transfering my whole operating system to the new one or is it best to do a fresh install ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | kevininspain: you can mount the second hard disk, copy the whole file systems across (boot from a cd) and then just re-install grub onto the new hard disk | 10:09 |
| hateball | kevininspain: Clonezilla is a pretty painless way to do it, but you have to use something like gparted to resize the partitions | 10:09 |
| ikonia | kevininspain: some minor changes such as the fstab, but yes | 10:09 |
| ikonia | kevininspain: hateball's suggestion is much better though | 10:09 |
| AdvoWork | hateball, yeah it works fine in a terminal | 10:10 |
| hateball | Using Clonezilla the UUID etc gets sorted without any manual editing of fstab | 10:10 |
| kevininspain | OK guys thanks, got a clearer idea now | 10:10 |
| kevininspain | looks like an afternoon with lots of coffee :-) | 10:11 |
| AidsMcGee | Ok thanks, might just dual boot it for the time being then. | 10:12 |

| stripe | hi all, how would I find out if my graphics card is supported by ubuntu? (I have tried kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu 12.04 all without success) cheers | 11:05 |
| CaBa | stripe: there is no difference regarding hardware support between them. | 11:06 |
| psycho_oreos | possibly its not supported at all stripe.. iinm kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu all use the same base except different UI | 11:06 |
| fidel | stripe: just to clear some things: kubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu arenty really fully different distris - they use basically another set of default packages - mainly for the dektop environment | 11:06 |
| psycho_oreos | though it might be supported, probably just not out of the box, you may need to download additional drivers to make it work | 11:07 |
| fidel | stripe: second - try to give us the name of your gfx-device | 11:07 |
| fidel | otherwise its more then wild guessing ;) | 11:07 |

| angs | fidel: how can I do it? | 11:38 |
| fidel | angs: for me it looks like your hd is mounted read-only -> as apt is trying to create a lock file - it cants as its red only - it results in errors | 11:39 |
| fidel | as it cant write on read-only fs ;) | 11:39 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: i am clueless. your sources.list seems fine, and if i use the German mirror on my own machine, i don't get that error | 11:41 |
| Lunar_Lander | hm | 11:41 |
| Lunar_Lander | virus? rootkit? all passwords stolen? | 11:41 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: i assume you've tried more than just once? | 11:41 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: maybe it was a fluke | 11:41 |
| Lunar_Lander | yes, yesterday too | 11:42 |
| Myrtti | Lunar_Lander: do you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? | 11:42 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: i wouldn't say it seems like something very serious | 11:42 |
| Lunar_Lander | Myrtti, yes there is "preceise-partner.list" | 11:42 |
| angs | fidel: I installed ubuntu on an embedded board (sd card). is there any way to remove read-only property on the file system? | 11:42 |
| Lunar_Lander | that has "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner #Added by software-center" as the sole entry | 11:42 |
| fidel | angs: the main question is how you mount your storage medium | 11:43 |
| Lunar_Lander | probably because I have skype from the software-center | 11:43 |
| fidel | angs: so use the mount cmd to verify if my general guess is right | 11:43 |
| fidel | if so - try to undersatand why that happens - as it might happen by mis-configuration or in case of problems | 11:44 |
| iceroot | how is update manager knowing when a restart is needed? | 11:44 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot when a new kernel is installed, or so | 11:44 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: my question is what is telling update manager that a restart is needed | 11:45 |
| Nosophorus | are there any problems of doing back up with the command "cp -ruvax"? | 11:45 |
| angs | fidel: the board use SD card for the strage medium, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065870/ shows the warning and hints the file, I did not understand what to do. does this output make sense to you how to fix it? | 11:47 |
| chris_ | hello, when i buy a network enabled printer like Konica Minolta Magicolor 3730DN do i have to care about linux drivers or is this only the case for usb connected devices? | 11:47 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks again Myrtti and LjL | 11:47 |
| Lunar_Lander | and sorry for thinking about viruses on ubuntu | 11:48 |
| meisth0th | hello | 11:48 |
| Lunar_Lander | someone here got quite angry about that last week | 11:48 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: i'm sorry i don't have any suggestion | 11:48 |
| Lunar_Lander | no problem | 11:48 |
| Lunar_Lander | I think it isn't dangerous | 11:48 |
| meisth0th | i have a new application that i am working on and my application has an icon on unity panel, but i can't find a proper icon for my application ( you know, mono icons ). how can i create mine, is there any easy way to do so? | 11:49 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: well not dangerous per se, but it should mean that you can't get packages from Universe... | 11:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | yea | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | iceroot, it's probly dpkg that sees unconfigured files that require a reboot to work , that's my guess | 11:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | but nevertheless I got like a kernel update yesterday and so on | 11:49 |
| maj | I just compiled a new kernel to support my usb wifi device I used MAKE and MAKE INSTALL do I need to select a new kernel at boot time? | 11:49 |
| tking | hi guys do anyone know of a good calender program that has sounds and gives alert??? | 11:49 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: just a semi-random thought, do you have "gzip" installed? | 11:50 |
| fidel | !details > tking | 11:50 |
| ubottu | tking, please see my private message | 11:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | LjL, no, as far as I know, how can I check? | 11:50 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: apt-cache policy gzip | 11:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065880/ | 11:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | so it says "Installed" and "Candidate" | 11:51 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: yes, it's installed as it should be | 11:51 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: i was just thinking that since your APT doesn't seem to be noticing there is a Packages.gz file, maybe your gzip had disappeared somehow | 11:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 11:52 |

| caravel | I have a question about LiveUSB updates behavior in regards to the MBR... of a local disk : | 12:06 |
| Lunar_Lander | LjL, I am now downloading from tu-bs.de (Braunschweig instead of Dresden) and that works without error | 12:07 |
| Laice | @caravel: do you mean a persistant disk | 12:07 |
| caravel | Laice: yes, sorry I am a bit long, let me describe :) | 12:07 |
| === spacebug is now known as spacebug- | ||
| caravel | [...] it's about a replacement disk, as received from a hardware reseller. The disk is holding a winXP partition, and is meant to boot. But it doesn't. It was never ran after reception, but installed physically on the system, while only LiveUSB 12.04 was run.... and updated fully | 12:08 |
| Lunar_Lander | still got another question: Installed Lubuntu with the alternate installer on a ThinkPad and now found a manual by my university to get on the WLAN using wpa_supplicant | 12:08 |
| Lunar_Lander | but the alternate Lubuntu doesn't have the software-center and so on, so I doubt it has wpa_supplicant | 12:08 |
| Pitel | MonkeyDust: so, I should let it crash, edit xorg.conf, disable noveau (change it to vesa, or something), and then startx, right? | 12:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | how do I get that package to the laptop | 12:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | ? | 12:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | I mean if I don't have internet | 12:09 |
| caravel | [...] since, in the past, I have seen several times, grub install being placed on the wrong disk (yes, I did) by either distro installer or post install scripts, I suspect that t have happened here | 12:09 |
| Laice | @Lunar_Lander can you grab a .deb for the package? | 12:09 |
| caravel | [...] Here is what the MBR currently looks like : http://wklej.org/id/781572/ | 12:10 |
| Lunar_Lander | from one of the ubuntu update servers? | 12:10 |

| iosif | i have ubuntu 12.04 LTS on AMD xp 1800+ and gf FX5200 | 12:15 |
| HackerII | Something about this isn't right, running 11.04 and checked for normal updates, it asked me for special permission for launchpad to take control of networkmanager for some reason, when i stopped it and did some looking i found these 3 things, i made images in the correct order, 1- http://imagebin.org/218856 2- http://imagebin.org/218857 3- http://imagebin.org/218858. image 2 and three brought up red flags, especially with image #2 saying it cant b | 12:15 |
| Laice | Lunar_Lander: having trouble finding it | 12:15 |
| HackerII | e found, and, what the heck is DHS doing being involved in these processes anyway, i smell a rat here, any ideas ? | 12:15 |
| LjL | Lunar_Lander: yeah you could try switching mirrors one way or the other, no harm trying, but the thing is, the other mirrors seem to be the same, and i don't get the problem with the German mirror either | 12:15 |
| iosif | and i have a flash -player problem | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | flash player is always problematic it seems :^* | 12:16 |
| * Laice will be b | 12:16 | |
| * Laice will be glad when flash is dead and buried | 12:16 | |
| Nick9321 | Silly flash. | 12:16 |
| iosif | i tried google-chrome | 12:17 |
| iosif | and with flash-aid on firefox works | 12:17 |
| Lunar_Lander | LjL, oh | 12:18 |
| === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan | ||
| iosif | BUT when upgraded to google chrome v20 | 12:18 |
| Lunar_Lander | LjL, but at least I don't seem to be the only person having it, at ubuntuusers several people had that issue in early May | 12:18 |
| iosif | google chrome doesnt start | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Google chrome used its own flash I thought it was built in | 12:19 |
| Nick9321 | iosif, so is the problem with flash, or chrome? | 12:19 |
| iosif | and so the firefox flash plugin neither | 12:19 |
| i7c | google chrome's repository is not available? what is this. -.- | 12:19 |
| Laice | tbh i'd just use firefox as it works :P | 12:19 |
| Laice | oh jeesus did i really just say that. Hangon firefox WORKS!?! | 12:19 |
| iosif | when i install firefox flash it just stay a black square | 12:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | Laice, mine is at /var/run/wpa_supplicant | 12:20 |
| MonkeyDust | iosif try flashplugin-installer, in the software center or with apt-get | 12:20 |
| Laice | Lunar_Lander if you're feeling brave try a transplant. I advise backing everything up though | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | I reluctantly gave up on chromium ..tired of google sending ads to me and tracking and registering every website I visit | 12:21 |
| iosif | but i used and it worked with flash aid | 12:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | Laice, yeah, but I saw that I can't acess the folder without root, so that might not be a good idea | 12:21 |
| iosif | this addon use the google chrome | 12:21 |
| HackerII | i trust nothing google | 12:21 |
| Lunar_Lander | maybe it is easier to locate an Ethernet wire and try it with that :) | 12:22 |
| Laice | Lunar_Lander sounds like science :P | 12:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | :P | 12:22 |
| iosif | so flash player is the problem | 12:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | the laptop actually is used in a physics department | 12:22 |
| Lunar_Lander | xD | 12:22 |
| HackerII | right along with DHS, which is in on these so called security network updates, im not updating these as i know what DHS is and who they work for. | 12:22 |
| Laice | iosif: sounds more like chrome buggered an update. | 12:22 |
| HackerII | did you see what i posted BluesKaj | 12:23 |

| BluesKaj | HackerII, yes | 12:23 |
| HackerII | its creepy | 12:23 |

| HackerII | DHS is gestapo, what the heck are they doing involved with my updates | 12:23 |
| glitsj16 | Lunar_Lander: could be misunderstanding your issue with wpasupplicant, but lubuntu shares the same default repos with ubuntu, so you should be able to install it .. what does 'apt-cache policy wpasupplicant' has to say about it? | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | HackerII, yeah , it's all about the money ..we should get a cut | 12:24 |
| Laice | glitsj16: the issue is he has no internet connection on that device | 12:24 |
| HackerII | i know DHS ordered 450 million rounds of hollow point 40 cal, um, what for ? | 12:24 |

| snadge | simple way to see it is to load say slashdot.. full screen.. then use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2: there's a cool package 'playonlinux' | 12:46 |
| snadge | its smooth.. but its kind of pixellated with a diagonal tear in it | 12:47 |
| Nick9321 | snadge, I've noticed it's a bit jittery, but that's about it | 12:47 |
| lotuspsychje | !info playonlinux | 12:47 |
| ubottu | playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.0.14-1 (precise), package size 2031 kB, installed size 3594 kB | 12:47 |
| wN | dedechan: its what i do. tell ubottu to stop harrasing me | 12:47 |
| ikonia | wN: please stop doing it then | 12:47 |
| snadge | probably doesnt do it with unity | 12:47 |
| wN | ikonia: doing what? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | wN: ubottu is an automated bot, | 12:47 |
| newman2 | i know this program but i cant use it... | 12:47 |
| snadge | actually i'll log out and log back in to test it | 12:47 |
| wN | ikonia: unture. somebody triggered him. | 12:47 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2:why? | 12:47 |
| wN | untrue* | 12:47 |
| ikonia | wN: yes, so it's not harrasing you | 12:47 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 12:48 |
| ikonia | wN: it's being triggered, so stop triggering it | 12:48 |
| wN | ikonia: i understand that. it was a joke. | 12:48 |
| ikonia | (if it's annoying you) | 12:48 |
| wN | !joke ikonia | 12:48 |
| Laice | hahaaha | 12:48 |
| dedechan | newman2: what game are you trying to play? | 12:48 |
| newman2 | cuz i have install a lot game but dont works them | 12:48 |
| ikonia | newman2: I'd strongly advise you not to depend on wine as a solution | 12:48 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2:try installing wine and playonlinux | 12:48 |
| ikonia | newman2: use windows to play windows games | 12:48 |
| newman2 | ex: age of empires :D | 12:48 |
| wN | newman2: the winehq forums are very helpful when trying to get windows games to work in linux. dont listen to these microsoft lovers | 12:49 |
| stripe | lotuspsychje, nvidia-current installed (still tearing) | 12:49 |
| newman2 | i have installed ant a tryed them but dont works them.. | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | stripe:try a reboot | 12:49 |
| stripe | lotuspsychje, OK | 12:49 |
| ikonia | wN: please stop with the nonse | 12:49 |
| ikonia | nonsense | 12:49 |
| ikonia | calling people microsoft lovers etc | 12:50 |
| dedechan | newman2: that should be easy with old games. See http://appdb.winehq.org/index.php | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | lol someone gonna get kicked | 12:50 |
| Laice | GROUP HUG | 12:50 |
| snadge | hmm.. yeah.. it seems unity scrolls smooth.. its just gnome classic (no effects) that has the jaggy scrolling | 12:50 |
| wN | ikonia: how is that non-sense? i play windows games in wine all the time. winehq is helpful. dont tell somebody to 'go to windows'. thats stupid | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2: i recently played hl2 on playonlinux, you gotta have original install cd's though | 12:50 |
| dedechan | wN: I agree with you. | 12:50 |
| wN | if they wanted to plaly games in windows, they wouldn't be in here. people can figure that out for themselves. i'll save my ranting for another channel though. i apologize for the spam. | 12:50 |
| ikonia | wN: the wine team are very helpful, no question, however that doesn't make it a long term stable solution for all sitautions, hence why using the native OS "may" be the best option or a valid option | 12:50 |
| ikonia | wN: that doesn't make me a "windows lover" | 12:51 |
| wN | ikonia: haha ok, i'll admit that was a little over the line | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ikonia is very right about all latest new games, they wont run on linux | 12:51 |
| alankila | wN: just don't make statements like 'you are a microsoft lover' from missing information. It isn't what you said that is the problem so much as how you say it. And not all games run in wine, so sometimes windows IS the only option. | 12:51 |
| m_ | I reinstalled ubuntu, and I dont know how to encrypt my old home directory, can you help me? ;s | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | true | 12:51 |
| dedechan | I'm playing starcraft 2 on internet on linux... and it worth the hassle | 12:51 |

| wN | alankila: windows i never the only option | 12:51 |

| newman2 | ok so if i downolad from internet a game then the game goin to work? | 12:52 |
| Laice | i had eve online going in ubuntu a couple years ago, havent attempted it in a while, might be worth it to try again ^.6 | 12:52 |
| alankila | wN: that sounds like a semantic argument game I'm not going to get into. | 12:52 |
| m_ | lotuspsychje: ok | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2:check playonlinux available games first | 12:52 |

| newman2 | ok | 12:52 |
| ikonia | newman2: it may work, it may not work, it may work a bit, it may work today, but break tomorrow, it really does depend | 12:52 |
| wN | alankila: i believe you're missing the point, but like i said. i'll stop with the ranting in here :P | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | newman2:there's a whole list | 12:52 |
| dedechan | newman2: As far as I understood it's best to run an installer downloaded from internet to install a game | 12:52 |
| ikonia | newman2: that's why it's not for me a valid solution | 12:52 |
| m_ | lotuspsychje: but there is not something like that in repo | 12:53 |
| ikonia | newman2: you can be working today, fine, then totally broke tomorrow when an updat ehappens in the game | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | !info truecrypt | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Package truecrypt does not exist in precise | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm | 12:53 |
| Laice | at the end of the day the issue lies with the game's developers. There's quite a bit of motion at the moment with developers moving to OpenGL which makes crossplatforming much easier to acchieve. My prediction is that Windows 8 will lead to more people moving to distributions such as ubuntu, and game developers will have to follow the trend. | 12:53 |
| angs | I can not install a package http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065954/ what do I need to do? | 12:53 |
| dedechan | to install starcraft for example you don't need POL, just run the installer | 12:53 |

| Burnmoh | hi | 14:02 |
| burg | hello. why is ubuntu desktop recommended in 32bit, and ubuntu server in 64bit ? | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | burg, idiot proofing.. they assume if a user dosent know the differance - they should go 32bit. | 14:02 |
| m477 | I typed killall5 to restart X11 server and now I have resolution 640x480 and I cant change it, how to fix it? | 14:02 |
| Burnmoh | GRUB rescue> help pls | 14:03 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | Burnmoh | 14:03 |
| ubottu | Burnmoh: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 14:03 |

| Burnmoh | i had win7 and linux os as dual boot | 14:03 |
| Burnmoh | something happened | 14:04 |
| Burnmoh | i was ended up with Grub rescue black screen | 14:04 |
| n3rdo | burg: anyway, if your computer has over 3 GB RAM you should go 64bit anyway | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, some times ive noticed i have to access the share server by its ip. not hostname. for some weird reason.. ie: \\192.168.1.122\SHARENAME | 14:04 |
| Burnmoh | i didnt have DVD driver in my lappy | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis | or do i have / and \ backwards. ;) | 14:04 |
| ubuntugde | Burnmoh: you can use a live bootable usb | 14:05 |
| burg | n3rdo, i`ve been using 64bit ubuntu for the past 3-4 years, i was just curious | 14:05 |
| sreejith | ubuntugde: Dr_willis i already tried but its not working ? | 14:05 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, tried what exactly? | 14:05 |
| Burnmoh | ubuntugde but i want to know the command for rescue | 14:05 |
| Burnmoh | i tried ls,set.insmod commands | 14:06 |
| Dr_willis | Burnmoh, easiest way is use a live cd. and the boot-repair tool mentioned at the fix grub url given above | 14:06 |
| ubuntugde | Burnmoh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - your instructions | 14:06 |
| Burnmoh | ok guys | 14:06 |
| savio | serdotlin: ? | 14:07 |
| sanyii | Burnmoh: this is the tool that helped me many times: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 14:07 |
| Burnmoh | so we cant rescue linux using grub rescue commands | 14:07 |
| Burnmoh | because i want to learn commands | 14:08 |
| sreejith | Dr_willis: I select a folder , rightclick it then click on sharing and select sharing. | 14:08 |
| Dr_willis | Burnmoh, you could Boot the system if you knew enough grub skills.. perhaps.. then try to reinstall grub.. | 14:08 |
| ubuntugde | Burnmoh: also there is another tool called "super grub disk", which is easy to use | 14:08 |

| lukibeni | hi | 14:11 |
| GeeksOnHugs | like you right click and go to properties normally, but right clicking on the dash just lets you unlock it or lock it | 14:12 |
| GeeksOnHugs | hi lukibeni | 14:12 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, there should be some options to allow 'guest' access. im not in ubuntu so i cant walk yopu throug it click by click | 14:12 |
| sreejith | Dr_willis: yes the gust has full access | 14:12 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, so on windows type in the servers ip#. and see if it can find the shares. | 14:12 |
| sreejith | Dr_willis: ok | 14:12 |
| GeeksOnHugs | +2 (yes TWO) internets if someone can PLEASE tell me HOW DO I CHANGE AN ICON ON THE DASH BAR (Unity)? | 14:12 |
| vibhav | GeeksOnHugs: Which icon do you want to change? | 14:13 |
| GeeksOnHugs | It's for Eclipse | 14:13 |
| Dr_willis | \\server.ip.num.ber\sharename | 14:13 |
| vibhav | GeeksOnHugs: Do you want to change the default icon for eclipse? | 14:13 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | how do i set java7 as my default or how can I tell which version is my default? | 14:13 |
| GeeksOnHugs | well that would be fine, vibhav, if that's what it takes...right now on unity it shows a generic icon with a questionmark | 14:14 |
| GeeksOnHugs | eclipse has no installer, you just run the exe | 14:14 |
| Dr_willis | geekbri, eclipse is flakey on the dash bar because its a java app i recall. You may be best to chage the icon in the desktop launcher. then drag it to the bar., | 14:14 |
| silverghost | hi guys i have one problem can i use xcompmgr and cairo compmgr side by side in openbox | 14:14 |

| vibhav | GeeksOnHugs: exe? From where did you install eclipse? | 14:14 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, does it even show the server and list of shares? | 14:14 |
| GeeksOnHugs | Dr_willis I tried dragging it didn't work. vibhav I downloaded it from eclipse.org | 14:15 |
| GeeksOnHugs | I don't mean exe as in windows exe, it's an executible | 14:15 |
| GeeksOnHugs | and Dr_willis is right it is a java program | 14:15 |
| lukibeni | GeeksOnHugs where is the original .exe? | 14:15 |
| silverghost | guys where can i find help with openbox? | 14:15 |
| vibhav | GeeksOnHugs: Please download eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories | 14:15 |
| GeeksOnHugs | i put it in /usr/opt/eclipse | 14:15 |
| GeeksOnHugs | vibhav I did but it didn't work | 14:16 |
| Dr_willis | silverghost, openbox homepage has guides and docs and so forth.. unles syou want to ask your actual question... | 14:16 |
| vibhav | GeeksOnHugs: How? | 14:16 |
| lukibeni | so open the file with gedit and change the Icon= path | 14:16 |
| sreejith | Dr_willis: No it did not show | 14:16 |
| GeeksOnHugs | vibhav it was missing libraries...I finally got it to launch with some hacking and then it wouldn't install a plugin I needed and couldn't figure it out | 14:16 |
| GeeksOnHugs | so I downloaded from the site | 14:16 |
| Dr_willis | sreejith, see if the 2 boxs can even ping each other.. see if the linux box can access any windows shares.. could be a networking issue. | 14:16 |
| Gere | Please help how can enable the disabled network icon in ubuntu? | 14:17 |
| silverghost | i am using openboxin ubuntu | 14:17 |
| GeeksOnHugs | I have it working 100% just the icon is bugging my OCD :P | 14:17 |
| AlanBell | GeeksOnHugs: yeah, the repo version of eclipse is fine if you just want what it does, but if you need to add plugins then the upstream version tends to work better | 14:17 |
| _val__ | HEy everyone. Does one of you have had problems using ubuntu 12.04 LTS in a hardware raid 1 controller configuration? When rebooting the server it won't reboot. When shutting it down manually It then won't pass through grub unless I press [ENTER]. | 14:17 |
| silverghost | openbox in ubuntu i have xcompmgr running can i run cairo compmgr side by side with xcompmgr ?? | 14:17 |
| AlanBell | GeeksOnHugs: as it is a java application BAMF doesn't get it entirely right and messes up the unity icons for it, I think I saw something a few weeks ago about this being improved | 14:17 |
| GeeksOnHugs | AlanBell once I fixed a swt library issue it was fine...it's a bit old but I didn't mind that, the main thing was I couldn't get my plugin working, yep | 14:18 |
| _val__ | So in other terms. The server seems to reboot but it just hangs and won't reboot. When doing the reboot manually it requires human interaction to press enter to come through grub. | 14:18 |

| dgandhi | greetings all, I have a confusion scenario, I configured a secondary NIC as eth0 through /etc/network/interfaces, ifuped it, and then ran ifconfig eth0 down to bring it down, which seemed to work. After some time it came back, and preempted my primary NIC in the routing table. This is on 10.40LTS-server, is Ubuntu running some process that re-enables NICs if they are brought down using low level tools? | 14:35 |
| nannes | sreejith: just check if the packages are installed. with dpkg. | 14:35 |
| nannes | sreejith: packages are samba, samba-common, smbclient | 14:35 |
| kangarooo | AlanBell it now works. I when opened box then put in battery and then dongle. Now i put dongle then put battery AND it works. Sorry | 14:35 |
| semitones | vikash: it might help to figure out which packages aren't being installed | 14:36 |
| vikash | semitones, ok, so I am proceeding with partiall update and then I will restart a dn then see. | 14:36 |

I have done every conceivable thing with my router and activated apache on several server oses. So it think im doing everything correct to some extent. Is it possible my ip provider blocks all incoming data (http etc,)? also is it possible that i am not able to use por | 14:54 |

| sreejith | I already share a file in ubuntu , How can i access it from windows | 14:54 |
| DJones | ograf: Does your router forward the specific port to the internal ip of the computer running the webserver | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | that assigns the right driver to the config file making it default semitones , you could also do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 14:55 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: snd-hda-intel rather than alsa-hda-dkms | 14:56 |
| ograf | DJones, it seems to be saying that it is allowing a specific computer through ( i have set tried allowing many different ones through the firewall) and still when i try interior ip "It Works" but exterior ip nothing | 14:56 |

| geoffw8_ | sorry, I worded that poorly - can anyone please tell me where stdout gets logged to? | 15:12 |
| whitenoise | BluesKaj, there is no data on /dev/sda2, no, but gparted does not give the option to delete it | 15:12 |
| litropy | XavierCosta, run ifconfig and iwconfig, then pastebin.com it | 15:12 |
| oCean | geoffw8_: usually nowhere? Unless you direct it | 15:12 |

| litropy | sreejith, ya, but when you load up ubuntu and open a file browser, on the left sidepanel, do you see your windows partition? | 15:15 |
| geoffw8_ | thanks oCean - its tough though, because I don't actually start ruby | 15:15 |

| litropy | dv310p3r, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else knows. | 15:16 |
| dv310p3r | litropy, thanks anyways | 15:16 |
| zykotick9 | whitenoise: while i personally think resizing/combining partitions is insanity - IF swap is being used, it can stop gparted in it's tracks. In terminal try "free" is swap listed? if so, use "sudo swapoff -a" then confirm with "free" again. after swap is disabled gparted might be able to do more for you. | 15:16 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: gotcha. yeah it was going to remove all the linux-headers if i removed that package, so I'll leave it alone. Thanks a lot for your help! | 15:16 |
| litropy | sreejith, then it sounds like the simplest way is to use an external hard drive. | 15:16 |

| falcoGw | Hi, my apache2 is running, but my localhost is not working anymore, if i ping to localhost i do get response | 15:44 |
| falcoGw | this started after switching to gnome3 | 15:45 |
| wub1 | L3top, zykotick9: so if I use it in a command chown $USER /usr/lib/src | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | angs: "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop" does it say installed, with a version | 15:45 |
| L3top | r3dLunchb0x: well... the reason it is bad is because it will open everything with root permission... so it is basically no better than windows when you hit the web security wise... lol... I would open nautilus and see if it would open files with root permissions. | 15:45 |
| kav | hello ! | 15:45 |
| kav | can any one help me | 15:45 |
| r3dLunchb0x | L3top: if it does, how would I change it back? | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: every DM i know of, runs as root | 15:46 |
| angs | zykotick9: yes it says ubuntu desktop http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066239/ but I do not get the monitor output. do you have any idea what I can do? | 15:46 |
| r3dLunchb0x | L3top: it does not open them with root permissions. | 15:46 |
| kav | i need help regarding live usb , i increse its size of casper-rw | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | angs: what video card are you using? | 15:46 |
| L3top | wub1: sudo chown -R "$USER" /usr/lib/src would recursively change ownership to the user invoking sudo. If you do this as root your USER is root. | 15:47 |
| XavierCosta | litropy L3top back, but ubuntu machine still can't connect with cable and network restarted | 15:48 |
| angs | zykotick9: I am using an embedded board(beagleboard), the only thing I know that I suppose to use hdmi to dvi-d cable for the monitor. | 15:48 |
| zykotick9 | angs: sorry, i'd have no idea. good luck. | 15:48 |
| L3top | r3dLunchb0x: then it is not a horrorshow :) I would, when at first login, drop to tty2 tail -f /var/log/dmesg and pop back and forth, and see what calls it... just an idea | 15:48 |
| angs | zykotick9: thank you | 15:48 |
| r3dLunchb0x | L3top: thanks, i didnt think of that. | 15:48 |
| litropy | XavierCosta, odd ... do you get replies when you ping 127.0.0.1? | 15:50 |
| L3top | wub1: you might want to chown "$USER": which will also change the group to $USER... so the command is read, if my USER were bob: sudo chown -R bob::bob /usr/lib/src | 15:50 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: i think you have a typo there - should only be one : between username and group | 15:51 |
| L3top | sorry... yes... | 15:51 |
| L3top | bob: implies bob:bob | 15:51 |
| user__ | how do you do full disk encryption on ubuntu? i dont' think the setup had it | 15:52 |
| user__ | i have the newest installation cd | 15:53 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: cat /etc/network/interfaces and look at the eth0 stuff. | 15:53 |
| bazhang | user__, the alternate installer disk | 15:53 |
| cjdavies | trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS onto a brand new machine with UEFI - the installer doesn't have gdisk/use GPT - what is the best approach? | 15:53 |
| bazhang | !alternate | user__ | 15:53 |
| ubottu | user__: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 15:53 |
| XavierCosta | litropy yes. | 15:53 |

| jiffe98 | anyone have experience with mdadm? I've got a software raid10, I pulled a drive and reinserted it to see what would happen and the drive came back as /dev/sdf instead of /dev/sdb | 15:56 |
| tables | bazhang, just downlaod the text installer? | 15:56 |
| L3top | the second line of the eth0 stuff XavierCosta | 15:56 |
| bazhang | tables, the alternate installer, correct | 15:56 |
| MonkeyDust | jiffe98 now you know what happens :) | 15:56 |
| jiffe98 | is there a way to find a physical device to a virtual device so it comes back on the same device? | 15:57 |
| jiffe98 | I'm not sure how to deal with it being on a different device, mdadm is still looking for sdb | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | jiffe98, interesting , but i think if you reboot with drive still connected it will revert to sdb | 15:58 |
| XavierCosta | L3top I should write cat /etc/network/interfaces on command line, right? No eth0 stuff comes bye, just auto lo on first line and then on second line iface lo inet loopback | 15:58 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: add line 3: auto eth0 line 4: iface eth0 inet dhcp and save | 15:59 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: then restart networking see if you are online | 16:00 |
| zykotick9 | XavierCosta: FYI L3top suggestion is going to disable Network Manager from eth0 | 16:00 |
| L3top | zykotick9: I just want to get this thing online so we can copy and paste commands and replies... we will undo it once things are figured out | 16:01 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: thats fine - i just wanted the OP to be aware. | 16:01 |
| L3top | I should have explained that... good point. | 16:01 |
| litropy | Wow, manual network configs. Yummy. | 16:02 |
| XavierCosta | L3top sorry, what should I write exactly on command line? First problem with Ubuntu so it's the first time I oppened Comand Line and written commands on it. I promise my "noobish" will reduce over time | 16:04 |
| falcoGw | Hi, how can i find out what services are running on port 80? I had to change my apache port to 8080 to get it back to work | 16:05 |

| L3top | XavierCosta: sudo echo "auto eth0" >> /etc/network/interfaces | 16:05 |

| peetaur | falcoGw: lsof | grep 80 | egrep "IPv[46]" | 16:06 |
| mneptok | XavierCosta: pastebin the entire /etc/network/interfaces file | 16:06 |
| L3top | they arent online mneptok there is only the two lo lines | 16:07 |
| mneptok | L3top: go edit that paste for XavierCosta. and don't forget that DNS belongs in that file as of 12.04 | 16:07 |
| mneptok | L3top: then no paste, just a quick typing of 2 lines. | 16:07 |

| angs | lshw outputs "Bus error (core dumped)" however, I can see the output of lsusb. what could be the problem? | 16:12 |
| AssociateX | Third day on trying to get flash to work. I've done everything anyone has suggested, nothing. Three different web browsers all show the plugin is installed but none will render flash, instead web pages with flash say "missing plugin" or something to that effect. vlc plays local flv files and youtube videos fine. My wife's mac has no issue, so it's not the network I'm on. Here's where it gets weird, I downloaded the latest Ubuntu instal | 16:12 |
| AssociateX | l cd and I can get flash to work while in the livecd desktop, even after installing the flash plugin. I wonder if my computer is b0rked. | 16:12 |
| stripper | hii | 16:13 |
| XavierCosta | O think I have put the commands correctly,now what I should I do? | 16:13 |
| AssociateX | I can't*** get flash to work while in the livecd desktop | 16:13 |
| litropy | AssociateX, you can r cannot get flash working using the livecd? | 16:13 |
| AssociateX | litropy, can't* | 16:14 |
| JoshDreamland | Can anyone tell me why the power button instantly shuts down my computer? Mate displays a dialog, but something else kills it unceremoniously. | 16:14 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: this is installing the official Adobe plugin from the Canonical partner repos? | 16:14 |
| bazhang | JoshDreamland, mate? from the mint PPA? thats not supported here | 16:14 |
| litropy | AssociateX, if it doesn't work with the livecd, it's likely hardware ... but it's odd that specifically flash doesn't work. | 16:14 |
| doherty | I'm having trouble setting a forced command. The command appears to run, but the output is not forwarded to the client. How can I ensure any output is sent to the client? | 16:15 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: restart networking | 16:15 |
| XavierCosta | ok, brb | 16:15 |
| AssociateX | litropy, I know, totally weird. L3top will attest to my doing everything under the sun. | 16:15 |
| falcoGw | peetaur, thanks, I found the problem | 16:16 |
| L3top | mneptok: we have purged/installed/--reinstalled... installed the proprietary nvidia driver (a joy in itself as it is currently broken nvidia-173)... gnash, lightspark... everything is right, everything is pointing right... I am at a loss for our friend AssociateX. | 16:17 |
| Dr_willis | AssociateX, as a off the wall test.. try some disrto thats very differnt from ubuntu.. like 'Tiny Core Linux' (10-40mb) and see if flash works in it.. | 16:17 |
| kav | #ubuntu-begineers | 16:17 |
| Dr_willis | AssociateX, Makes me wonder if its not some very odd video card/driver/flash explosion goiong on. | 16:17 |
| litropy | AssociateX, I can't imagine ... was flash working before? | 16:17 |
| === hari_ is now known as harikt | ||
| L3top | was working until upgrade 3 days ago litropy | 16:18 |
| AssociateX | litropy, yes. I went on vacation and came back to about 45 updates then the next day I notice it not working. But I have also done a fresh install every thing. <L3top> mneptok: we have purged/installed/--reinstalled... installed the proprietary nvidia driver (a joy in itself as it is currently broken nvidia-173)... gnash, lightspark... everything is right, everything is pointing right... I am at a loss for our friend AssociateX. | 16:19 |
| mneptok | L3top: in-release upgrade? | 16:19 |
| L3top | correct mneptok | 16:19 |
| L3top | oh | 16:19 |
| mneptok | L3top / AssociateX:boot to previous kernel? | 16:19 |
| XavierCosta_ | guess what....not working. And now, should I set it on fire? | 16:19 |
| litropy | AssociateX, did you use aptitude to upgrade? Or apt-get? Bah, not like it matters ... even the livecd doesn't work. | 16:20 |
| === Jacob_ is now known as Guest39327 | ||
| L3top | XavierCosta_: are you POSITIVE the cable you have plugged into this is feeding DHCP AND online? | 16:20 |
| AssociateX | mneptok, no but at this point not even the livecd works | 16:20 |
| L3top | mneptok: He no longer has a previous kernel... did a fresh install | 16:21 |
| mneptok | munh. | 16:21 |
| AssociateX | oh yeah | 16:21 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, L3top, it could be a router setting ... you could try wiring directly to your modem, rebooting the modem. | 16:21 |
| L3top | XavierCosta_: this^ | 16:22 |
| XavierCosta_ | litropy yes, done it, I will see if I have another cable, maybe this one is not working | 16:22 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, but of course that's going to throw your working machine offline until you wire your router back up. | 16:23 |
| AssociateX | Dr_willis, I'm going to give what you said a shot and dl another distro livecd. I know knoppix alway had working stuff. | 16:23 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: laptop? desktop? | 16:23 |
| AssociateX | desktop | 16:23 |
| Dr_willis | AssociateX, im not sure if any distos come with flash thes3e days or not. I said tiny core- because its.. tiny. ;) | 16:23 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, you tried wiring right to your modem then rebooting the modem? Then ya, try another wire. | 16:23 |
| AssociateX | Dr_willis, ok | 16:23 |
| L3top | hmmm... as a hack... what do you think about pinning 11.2.202.233ubuntu2 0 mneptok it is avail in the multiverse repo according to apt-cache policy | 16:24 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: if this nVidia is an add-in card of some type, make sure any on-board graphics the motherboard may have are completely disabled. | 16:24 |
| L3top | mneptok: lspci does not reveal one. | 16:24 |
| Jacruth | Hi there, my jack output doesn't work in Ubuntu 12.04, could you help me to fix it? | 16:24 |
| computerman | if i need help with ubuntu server, is this a place i could ask? | 16:24 |
| AssociateX | mneptok, there are no onboard graphics | 16:24 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: is there another grfx card lying somewhere you could put in the machine to test with the LiveCD? | 16:25 |
| computerman | i hate this raid stuff | 16:25 |
| litropy | Jacruth, #jack will be able to help you diagnose the issue better. They'll refer you back here for any ubuntu-specific issues. | 16:26 |
| AssociateX | mneptok, no. | 16:26 |
| Jacruth | thanks li | 16:26 |
| Jacruth | thanks litropy | 16:26 |
| AssociateX | for the record, I built this box a little over 9 years ago, so that's how old it is. | 16:26 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: do you have a shotgun and a safe place to put a slug through the side of the case? will not fix Flash, but may be mildly cathartic. | 16:26 |
| L3top | ert3go: You are asking how to destroy your windows partition and grow your ubuntu one on the same disk right? Because frankly you should just do a fresh install so that the OS can designate the right pieces to the right parts of the whole disk. | 16:27 |
| mneptok | :( | 16:27 |
| litropy | lol mneptok | 16:27 |
| Dr_willis | 9 yrs old.. :) could be the Flux Cappacator is all fluxxed out! | 16:27 |
| AssociateX | mneptok, ha ha | 16:27 |
| ert3go | okay L3top | 16:27 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: i wish i had somewhere else to go besides such snarkiness. i am at a loss. and you have deepened my hatred of Flash, which i thought impossible. | 16:27 |
| computerman | :/ | 16:27 |
| L3top | AssociateX: Lets try and pin an older version. | 16:28 |
| nannes | :O | 16:28 |

| AssociateX | L3top, um, like install an older release? | 16:28 |
| mneptok | AssociateX: Fedora or some other distro is something to try. a good suggestion. | 16:28 |
| nannes | no questions? | 16:28 |
| L3top | AssociateX: yes... first lets sudo apt-get remove purge flashplugin-installer (I believe purge no longer requires -- in 1204) | 16:30 |
| AssociateX | L3top, um, like install an older release of ubuntu or flash? | 16:30 |
| L3top | flash | 16:30 |
| AssociateX | ok | 16:30 |
| AssociateX | L3top, done | 16:31 |
| L3top | If you do not have an /etc/apt/preferences file (which I wouldn't think you do) create it with the pastebin I am going to give you | 16:32 |
| AssociateX | ok | 16:33 |
| OerHeks | AssociateX, AFAIK nvidia fx52000 does not run flash, it doesn't have VDPAU hardware accelleration, but i respect your trying to make flash work. | 16:35 |
| litropy | Jacruth, Yes, it can, but I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe someone else can help. | 16:35 |
| AssociateX | OerHeks, it was working two weeks ago | 16:35 |
| XavierCosta_ | L3top and litropy...new cable, same problem. I'm positive this cable is OK, what I'm not 100% sure is that commands where given in the right way | 16:35 |
| * L3top is testing... have a very bad connection takes a min AssociateX. | 16:35 | |
| L3top | XavierCosta_: Does your modem have multiple outputs? because you would have to drop to connect directly to the modem | 16:36 |
| Jacruth | litropy, I'm going to ask in #alsa, guys from #jack told me that is a better channel to ask it. Thanks! | 16:36 |
| AssociateX | OerHeks, how would it be that flash was working fine two weeks ago before I went on vacation? or even 3 days ago when I got back? | 16:37 |
| XavierCosta_ | L3top, hmm... inputs or outputs? | 16:38 |
| XavierCosta_ | I have a modem/router | 16:38 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, how many ethernet inputs does your modem have | 16:38 |
| XavierCosta_ | 4 | 16:38 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, is it one box or two? | 16:39 |
| XavierCosta_ | and I'm connecting in this one via wireless. One box | 16:39 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, how many ethernet inputs does your modem/router have | 16:39 |
| XavierCosta_ | litropy 4 | 16:39 |
| litropy | XavierCosta_, K. And you rebooted the modem after you connected your comp to it via wire? | 16:40 |
| XavierCosta_ | litropy yes, I 've rebooted the modem (causing all wireless and cable connections to drop) and still no luck | 16:41 |
| L3top | XavierCosta_: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | grep eth | 16:41 |

| Daxter | ertigo: when does that error appear | 16:57 |
| asad2005 | How can i safely revert to original source.list of ubuntu 12.04 | 16:57 |
| zykotick9 | ertigo: md5 check you cd - if that's ok, then it could be your HD | 16:57 |
| XavierCosta_ | L3top -> unknown host google.com | 16:57 |
| ertigo | Daxter: while it says "copying files" | 16:57 |
| gogeta | ertigo: check cd probly bad | 16:57 |
| ertigo | Installation Failed | 16:57 |
| mrdn | when that's coming from _writing_ to harddisk you better get a new harddisk | 16:57 |
| Daxter | yeah sounds liek abd cd | 16:57 |
| semitones | Hey again -- When I change my window buttons and put them on the left, the change isn't permanent. Next time I restart they're back on the right | 16:58 |
| ertigo | check in what sense gogeta | 16:58 |
| asad2005 | I have added some repositories and want to get rid of them all | 16:58 |
| L3top | XavierCosta_: press up a few times in terminal and see if you can get back to cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | grep eth | 16:58 |
| semitones | I'd like to investigate why that happens | 16:58 |
| gogeta | ertigo: md5 | 16:58 |
| dalton2345 | L3top, what should i do | 16:58 |
| AssociateX | L3top, didn't work. I'm burning a knoppix cd right now though. | 16:58 |
| ertigo | wow. Installer also crashed | 16:58 |
| ertigo | :/ | 16:58 |
| L3top | okey doke. Sorry AssociateX. | 16:58 |
| dalton2345 | !st time it happens :( | 16:58 |
| ubottu | dalton2345: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:58 |
| zykotick9 | asad2005: if they are PPA use ppa-purge to remove them. simply removing the sources will leave your system in a bad state (as apt can't downgrade packages) | 16:59 |
| AssociateX | L3top, ha, don't be sorry. Thank you very much for all of your help. | 16:59 |
| gogeta | ertigo: md5 check the disk it probly is a bad cd or iso | 16:59 |
| AssociateX | bbl | 16:59 |
| gogeta | ertigo: rthats why we have the check | 16:59 |
| Daxter | ertigo: md5 check the CD | 16:59 |

| kav | i resized it | 17:19 |
| Dr_willis | kav, last i looked.. casper-rw was a file the live-cd used.. not a partition. | 17:19 |
| === Marqin_ is now known as Marqin | ||
| XavierCosta | Sorry L3top, didn't uderstood | 17:20 |
| kav | actually , i called it a partiton which work like a file | 17:20 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/resize-casper-rw/ | 17:20 |
| Dr_willis | you called it a partition? Thats not making sence.. | 17:20 |
| semitones | Hey you guys -- theme question here: whenever I move the window buttons in gconf-editor, they revert to their previous state upon restart. Any ideas why this happens? | 17:21 |
| kav | Sorry ! but for me , its a partition , becz it don't work for me | 17:21 |
| kav | if it work then only then i call it a file | 17:21 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ | 17:21 |
| kav | i already used your links | 17:22 |

| XavierCosta | L3top, what do you mean logged in as root? | 17:22 |
| asad2005 | zykotick9: i have removed the added PPA from synaptic and did an update, now using ppa-purge gives this error "Could not find package list for PPA" is my system now screwed ? | 17:22 |
| kav | Dr_willis . ... I already used them | 17:22 |
| zykotick9 | asad2005: probably... you needed to use ppa-purge first. add the PPAs back would be my suggestion. | 17:22 |
| Dr_willis | I never use the live-setup. I always do full normal installs to my flash drive. Much more flexiable | 17:23 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_willis: +1 | 17:23 |
| asad2005 | zykotick9: ok i will try thanks | 17:23 |
| kav | O ! but i want to try this one | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | check the label and the fs of the partition. perhaps you made a mistake. | 17:23 |
| === michael is now known as Guest42935 | ||

| semitones | 12.04, unity | 17:26 |
| kav | Dr_willis | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, usually i just go into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and delete the ppas there , just to make sure | 17:26 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: do that again and kill the grep. That wasn't a very clever command. so sudo lshw -class network | 17:26 |
| kav | Dr_willis : how to use casper-rw | 17:26 |
| Matt___ | hello | 17:26 |
| kav | nannes : can you help me | 17:27 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: if you have package installed from the PPA - that's a bad idea | 17:27 |
| IngCr3at1on | I probably belong in a different channel but I'm hoping someone can help me anyway; I got a new monitor yesterday works great but it seems some of the blacks (menu generated not page or terminal) are speckled with red dots... this is 12.04 gnome3; using an nvidia geforce gt220 with a samsung sms23a550h...

| nikulas | I have some question, is Ubuntu Software Center down? Because I can only download specific programs like vlc, but I get error from trying install Clementine. E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? | 17:27 |
| Dr_willis | kav, check with the blkid command and sudo fdisk -l to verify the filesystem and label of the partition. | 17:28 |
| XavierCosta | L3top -> sudo lshw -class network | grep serial -> I didn't gave this command yet, this one is the one that you where saying it was not very clever? | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, yes agreed , but of course I would have removed the package already | 17:28 |

| squev | so, it seems like the grub2 os prober cant handle efi? | 17:42 |
| Dr_willis | theres a efi grub2 i thought | 17:42 |
| squev | well basically, I installed Ubuntu, over Mint | 17:43 |
| squev | and now I cant work out how to boot into Windows7 | 17:43 |
| Jacruth | when I plug my headphone, the speakers still sounds and there is no sound from the jack. | 17:43 |
| squev | (its on another drive) | 17:43 |
| L3top | XavierCosta: replace /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with http://pastebin.com/KJ7C5NA2 then sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules then sudo chown root: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 17:43 |
| Dr_willis | squev, 'over mint' meaning You reforamted the mint parttions? or what exactly? | 17:43 |
| squev | I just told ubuntu to delete that was on that drive | 17:44 |
| squev | just right over it | 17:44 |
| dobby156 | squev: write | 17:44 |
| squev | dobby156: what | 17:44 |
| squev | dobby156: also, I meant right | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | so the whole over mint.. is useless info. :) if you formated the drives.. | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | So what does the system do when it boots? are you sure its booting the right hard drive? | 17:44 |
| squev | Dr_willis: so yes reformated or whatever | 17:45 |
| squev | says EFI file not found | 17:45 |
| Dr_willis | squev, so what kind of pc are you using? | 17:45 |

| litropy | XavierCosta, how did you upgrade? | 17:47 |
| lajeeb | . | 17:47 |
| L3top | IngCr3at1on: Ok... I do not use that thing, I only know how to configure these things manually using depreciated methods. Do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? and what are you trying to achieve? | 17:48 |
| squev | hm, my windows install might need to be changed to EFI somehow | 17:49 |

| PRabyte | am having a real hard time saving my compiz settings after logging out. it appears gconf holds the files and i am using a gnome desktop on 10.04 LTS Ubuntu. i loaded the simple and ccsm. i have also looked at - http://wiki.compiz.org/CCSM/ and it doesn't explain how to retain settings with a gnome desktop clearly. could someone clue me in, thanks. ps. i'd like to retain the cube configs i have to change each time or enable when i l | 17:50 |
| IngCr3at1on | settings should be saved to one, I'll pull it up; I have a dual monitor configuration using twinview. Primary samsung monitor should be on 1920x1080 and the secondary (ancient dell monitor) should be on 1024x768 | 17:50 |
| kav | compiz --replace | 17:50 |
| squev | Dr_willis: well it seems like they are | 17:50 |
| PRabyte | perms are correct for .gconf and im using only one user account. i am also able to change the settings, but they do not retain.. | 17:50 |
| IngCr3at1on | not sure what else you mean | 17:50 |

| dobby156 | squev: long story | 17:54 |
| kav | ok dokie | 17:55 |
| Dr_willis | squev, if you are sure you are on an EFI system try installing the uefi-grub perhaps. | 17:55 |
| squev | wellit's currently booting into EFI | 17:55 |
| squev | but I dont think it was with Mint | 17:55 |
| L3top | that is what I am saying XavierCosta. Create the file someplace you have permission, move it there with sudo mv and do the chmod chown detailed above. | 17:55 |
| kav | Dr_willis : hey you forget me | 17:55 |
| L3top | gimme a second IngCr3at1on | 17:55 |

| squev | dulio: not yet | 18:00 |
| kav | then press ctrl + N | 18:00 |
| squev | dulio: going to see ifI can just install grub2 bios | 18:00 |
| IngCr3at1on | Oo apparently the speckles show up in pictures to, I hadn't noticed | 18:00 |
| SolarisBoy | ? | 18:00 |
| dobby156 | squev: back that shit up first incase the replacing of grub fails, then you can just wipe the system | 18:00 |
| dulio | squev: Is grub2 in partition? | 18:01 |
| squev | dulio: what do you mean? | 18:01 |
| squev | how do I cgheck what grub2 package I have installed? | 18:01 |
| kav | PRabyte : 1. compiz --replace | 18:01 |
| kav | 2. ctrl + N | 18:01 |
| kav | PRabyte : is this open a new window | 18:02 |
| squev | dobby156: where would I backup to | 18:02 |
| dobby156 | squev: my server would work | 18:02 |
| dulio | squev: I'm confusd | 18:02 |
| L3top | IngCr3at1on: this is mine, on one screen... and I would expect to see something similar only more, and in duplicate. I do not think that your EDID data is being read, and it simply cannot give you the res you want, pinning both of them there. | 18:02 |
| dobby156 | squev: actually I can use this freeNAS box | 18:02 |
| PRabyte | kav: that is what happened before, that error, the windows lost total functionality, and a reboot was necessary. and.... yes... it didnt work for what i asked before | 18:03 |

| IngCr3at1on | I'm not sure I'm understanding; they show the right resolutions, I just think the refresh is off or something on the one | 18:04 |
| kav | PRabyte : O ! but every time it work for me | 18:04 |
| AssociateX | It's official, I give up. Flash on Knoppix didn't work and yeah, the plugin was installed. I just hand installed 228 version and nothing. I'm fairly confident something is wrong with my hardware. | 18:04 |
| PRabyte | in a nutshell, i believe the compiz settings for ccsm, sccsm, and gnome gconf are all fighting to control desktop env. what is the best consistant way to retain compiz cube settings so i dont have to manually enable them each time i log off. thanks. | 18:04 |
| PRabyte | i would also like skydome, but the ubuntu defaults dont allow for those settings using the right click method on desktop > visual effects > custom | 18:05 |
| XavierCosta | L3top -> it's the first time i'm using comand line, I'm not keen at it. Can you teach me how you use the sudo mv command? | 18:05 |
| jagginess | XavierCosta, man mv | 18:06 |
| MonkeyDust | PRabyte normally you shouldnt have to, i have it enabled (for testing purposes) and it works fine | 18:06 |
| PRabyte | how did you config it MonkeyDust | 18:06 |
| MonkeyDust | PRabyte though I don't like/use compiz | 18:06 |
| L3top | IngCr3at1on: your xorg.conf shows that you have ONE monitor set, the other cloning it... and that monitor is the ancient dell... and this # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid backs up my theory that edid simply cannot be read. | 18:06 |
| MonkeyDust | PRabyte using ccsm | 18:06 |

| XavierCosta | L3top - >home/xavier | 18:08 |
| PRabyte | fuzzynurfhurter: you have internet, so it must be settings for sources are not selected. something along those lines, or you have no perms to do so.. my two guesses | 18:08 |
| PRabyte | fuzzynurfhurter: no repos defined in software sources | 18:08 |
| PRabyte | fuzzynurfhurter: you are at work and the firewall only allows certain ports. could be anything at this point. i assume you are using the system in question | 18:09 |
| === mrk is now known as Guest38289 | ||
| kav | i think his software center is showing blank screen | 18:09 |
| PRabyte | fuzzynurfhurter: they have port 6667 enabled, you are on irc. so most likely not a fw issue | 18:09 |
| IngCr3at1on | so, I guess I'm not understanding why xorg is entirely contradicting what the nvidia control panel is showing me... am I SOL? | 18:10 |

| ratbert90 | sure can | 18:12 |
| kav | hey ! can any one tell me how to run mblaze in backtrack | 18:12 |
| PRabyte | MonkeyDust: i have heard rumors and im starting to believe, since gconf holds some settings for compiz, and ccsm hold it in .compiz yadda, there is a conflict, power struggle. otherwise this should be a simple fix. even before i loaded compiz, the settings didnt hold. im using 10.04 lts, same default user from install with sudo perms. it should just retain. but it doesnt. maybe need to create a profile and safe an fun as new.profile. | 18:13 |
| L3top | IngCr3at1on: nope... basically, you are cloning your output... and it cannot figure out one of your monitors settings, so it is pinning them both at that default res. If you changed twin view to be extended, you would probably get closer to what you are trying to do. | 18:13 |
| kav | net Shutter in backtrack how ? | 18:14 |
| L3top | IngCr3at1on: did you say something about red speckles? | 18:14 |

| piranah | jagginess: ahh i see ok. personly i only use my live usb for onsite work or to help me rescue files from a windows system | 18:34 |
| jagginess | kav, don't do that.. | 18:34 |
| wylde | kav: ... pastebin | 18:34 |
| IngCr3at1on | that's interesting, different driver version broke xchat-gnome, so I installed x-chat (which never worked before), seems to have resolved it | 18:34 |
| kav | ok ! | 18:34 |
| Deckard_25 | L3top: I know, but there's fglrx and fglrx-updates packages and perhaps it will be shipped as fglrx-updates? | 18:35 |
| kav | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066516/plain/ | 18:35 |
| L3top | kav you have been told this like 5 times. Stop spamming the chat. Use pastebin. Stop hitting enter every 10 characters. I am trying to backscroll to help people and I have to go through a mile of you making smiley faces. | 18:35 |
| Deckard_25 | L3top: I wanted to install it manually, but there's too many of i386 packages that apt wants to download | 18:36 |
| bilel | when I add a user to a group, it's not really updated, I know it will be if I reboot, but is there another way to do that? | 18:36 |
| kav | your output for lsb_release -a | 18:36 |
| kav | Sorry again | 18:36 |
| kav | i'm a newbie | 18:36 |
| kav | Aha ... | 18:36 |
| Cottus | bilel, relogin | 18:36 |
| piranah | L3top: go easy on em. 1700 people on the chan. Perhaps the people who you are helping could PM you ;) | 18:36 |
| L3top | Deckard_25: why do you want it? What are you looking to gain? Just curious. | 18:37 |
| kav | can any one help me ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/plain/ | 18:37 |
| Deckard_25 | L3top: with Catalyst from the repo Xonotic and ut2k4 are unplayable, because of lag and I hope the newest version will fix this | 18:37 |
| L3top | piranah: and if I make a mistake and dump something stupid in pm, nobody would catch it... and if all 1700 people didn't follow the rules like kav this place would be unusable. | 18:38 |
| bilel | Cottus: how can I do that? it's a webserver | 18:38 |
| PRabyte | welp, since i removed sccsm and ccsm the desktop right click method, now doesnt have custom option anymore, and no cube settings... | 18:38 |
| PRabyte | for compiz | 18:38 |
| IngCr3at1on | apparently I was wrong though, the random red pixels aren't entirely gone, there's just significantly less | 18:38 |
| Cottus | bilel, ask in ##linux | 18:38 |

| Cottus | kav, can you sent it otherwise | 18:39 |
| kav | i don't get you , what you want to say | 18:39 |

| Cottus | ( it can be seen withouth the /plain/ | 18:42 |
| kav | o god ! PRabyte : whats your age ? | 18:42 |
| PRabyte | kav: just log out of ubuntu one or launch, its not that they wont help, its that not all people here have account and can see | 18:42 |
| sandyd | garabaldy: tried sudo apt-get update ? | 18:42 |
| PRabyte | kav: ? age? huh | 18:42 |
| Nick9321 | garabaldy, that means the package is either deleted, or moved | 18:42 |
| kav | ya ! your age ? | 18:43 |
| Cottus | oh cmon, i asked for a simple link that is public | 18:43 |
| PRabyte | kav: prolly better to ask, how long someone has been using ubuntu, and... more importantly, ask that in a IM which by the way is also frowned on, bad form peter bad form | 18:43 |

| IngCr3at1on | if I had a mac that's the first thing I would do | 18:44 |
| Deckard_25 | me the same | 18:44 |
| kav | ok ! | 18:44 |
| garabaldy | I haven't tried sudo apt-get update. Thanks. I'll give it a shot | 18:45 |

| kav | Thanks for helping me | 18:47 |
| kav | sleep like a baby | 18:47 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | that being on your SSD Cottus? | 18:47 |
| Cottus | a usb | 18:47 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | ah | 18:48 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | a bit of a different beast, by my reckoning | 18:48 |
| kav | O ! thats cool | 18:48 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | alas | 18:48 |
| Cottus | :D | 18:48 |
| navatwo | Hmm, so I try to boot the live CD and it doesn't get anywhere after I select "Install" or "Boot without Installing" | 18:48 |
| kav | i think Cottus , only boot kernels in it | 18:48 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | navatwo, here's a thought for yoyu | 18:48 |
| kav | bye Cottus | 18:49 |
| Cottus | bye | 18:49 |
| wylde | navatwo: do you get a blak screen? | 18:49 |
| navatwo | wylde: yes. | 18:49 |
| wylde | black* | 18:49 |
| navatwo | Black with a blinking cursor | 18:49 |
| Cottus | i boot full linux | 18:49 |
| Cottus | damit he left | 18:49 |
| wylde | !nomodeset | navatwo: try this out ;) | 18:49 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | press that install button, and then do ctrl + alt + f1 | 18:49 |
| ubottu | navatwo: try this out ;): A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:49 |
| asad2005 | after some ppa-purge mey gnome classic menues have white background and i dont seem to be able to change themes any suggestion | 18:49 |

| melow01 | Ubuntu 12.04: Super+D doesn't minimize windows... is there a different shortcut to show dekstop? | 18:50 |
| wylde | navatwo: also, if that still fails you may want to get the alternate install cd with the text based installer | 18:50 |
| Cottus | DaDaDOSPrompt, you can also ask in ##linux | 18:51 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | ok | 18:51 |
| OerHeks | asad2005, PPA's are unsupported here, because they can create troubles, or leave you in trouble after removing it. | 18:51 |
| jiffe98 | there a way to find out which disks are raid10 mirror pairs with mdadm ? | 18:51 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | jiffe98, type: cat /proc/mdstat | 18:52 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | you should see the names of some HDD /dev/ files | 18:52 |
| helo | i'm trying to just test nfs mounting... i have a /var/lib/nfsroot, and '/var/lib/nfsroot/ *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)' in /etc/exports... nfs-kernel-server is running | 18:52 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | or a pattern specifying them | 18:52 |
| helo | but it times out every time | 18:52 |
| helo | just trying to mount from localhost | 18:52 |
| IngCr3at1on | I'm going to try something else... I'll be back | 18:52 |
| jiffe98 | DaDaDOSPrompt: when I do that I see md127 : active raid10 sdb[4] sda[0] sdc[2] sdd[3] | 18:53 |
| jiffe98 | sdb is a rebuuilding spare right now so it may pop in spot 1 after it is rebuilt | 18:54 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | spot 1 in what list? | 18:54 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | or which list, rather | 18:54 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | or perhaps what after all | 18:55 |

| asad2005 | i cant change themes from apperance | 18:55 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hi, does the alternate install let me install a minimal X environment, or should I go with the server one instead? | 18:58 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I don't want the whole Gnome/Unity thing | 18:58 |
| jagginess | Eduard_Munteanu, alternate iso allows to do raid setup upon install (software-grade raid) | 18:59 |
| jiffe98 | DaDaDOSPrompt: well if I am looking at the output of mdstat which is 'md127 : active raid10 sdb[4] sda[0] sdc[2] sdd[3]' how would I determine the raid pairs? | 19:00 |
| jagginess | Eduard_Munteanu, it's what i use for my raid1 2 drives here.. (used it on two systems and is exactly like the standard desktop iso, but the standard desktop iso has no raid support upon install) | 19:00 |
| rsumi | anyone know of package source that contains eclipse juno? | 19:00 |
| jagginess | Eduard_Munteanu, you can always uninstall unity later.. | 19:01 |
| nannes | Eduard_Munteanu: Alternate version installs the same things as the desktop version does. You need the "minimal install" I guess | 19:01 |
| alankila | rsumi: the new eclipse? you should just download the binary package and extract it on Desktop | 19:01 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | oh, the pairs? | 19:01 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | hmm | 19:01 |
| jagginess | Eduard_Munteanu, you can even use gdm or kdm instead of lightdm (lightdm is optimized to work for getting into unity) (am talking about the logon gui daemons too) | 19:01 |
| alyawn | it seems my Software Update locked up and has been sitting here over 2 hours... what should I do? | 19:01 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | so you're saying that there are 2+ logical disks in that output, jiffe98 ? | 19:01 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | if so, hm | 19:01 |
| Koganei | so, I have to set up a server for a friend, and I was wondering if I could do something like set it all up in in a Virtual Machine on my laptop and then just apply it to the actual hardware when I get to it | 19:01 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | if that's the case, then we may have to write a quick script to divine the truth | 19:02 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | mdadm can surely give us the info we seek | 19:02 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | yes, I think I see how to do it | 19:02 |
| Maior | Koganei: something like Puppet would make that fairly trivial | 19:02 |
| jiffe98 | DaDaDOSPrompt: there are 4 physical drives in a raid 10 and I just want to know which drives are mirror copies of which other drives | 19:02 |
| nannes | Eduard_Munteanu: The "minimal cd" is a minimal installation that lets you chose which software to install, one by one. And it's a internet installation, cause the ISO image occupies ~30mb, so it downloads everything from the internet | 19:02 |
| IngCr3at1on | so, still trying to resolve my red pixels issue I decided to try to configure 2 xscreens instead of twinview... I can't get anything but a background image on my primary monitor now Oo | 19:02 |
| alankila | Koganei: sounds plausible, you should probably run the very same technology on both to make sure the transition is as easy as possible | 19:02 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | ooh | 19:02 |
| jiffe98 | so I know which drives can fail without breaking the raid | 19:02 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | hm | 19:02 |
| IngCr3at1on | on the plus side, xorg.conf shows both monitos : http://pastebin.com/bfSmSvVZ | 19:03 |
| alankila | Koganei: but I have good experience with ubuntu server and dealing with simple changes like going from IDE I/O emulation to virtual io | 19:03 |
| alankila | Koganei: or converting from virtualbox disk format to qcow2 | 19:03 |
| rsumi | alankila: i like packages because they setup icons and such | 19:04 |
| PRabyte | welp, when i find the fix for compiz and 10.04 LTS gnome desktop, i will post. thanks l8 | 19:04 |
| Koganei | Maior: that sounds cool, thanks | 19:04 |
| ericus | Anyone good at virtualbox? | 19:05 |
| wylde | !anyone | ericus | 19:05 |
| ubottu | ericus: 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. | 19:05 |
| schultza | what replaces beagle? | 19:05 |
| IngCr3at1on | so I guess the question now is can someone help me fix my horribly configured xorg.conf so I can actually log back in properly | 19:06 |
| garabaldy | In bash once you have used the command sudo apt -get update to get the updates how do you install them? | 19:06 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | nannes: hm, i see. | 19:06 |
| Koganei | alankila: I'll check that out thanks | 19:06 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | jiffe98, have you played with mdadm much? | 19:06 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jagginess: yeah, but I'm not planning on doing any of those. | 19:06 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Mainly I just want X and some X apps. | 19:06 |
| ericus | I have a Virtualbox with ClearOS as gateway on a Ubuntu host. Problem is that the hosts traffic is not going trough the virtual box | 19:06 |
| ericus | LAN works fine | 19:07 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I suppose I should go with the minimal install. Does that let you do automated deployments? | 19:07 |
| ericus | But the host get's another IP towards the internet | 19:07 |
| MonkeyDust | ericus try changing NAT to bridgd | 19:07 |
| wylde | ericus: so, basically you want the vbox guest to be the gateway to the internet? | 19:08 |
| ericus | MonkeyDust: on the interface (WAN) I have it set to bridged | 19:08 |
| ericus | yes wylde | 19:08 |
| ericus | It's working fine for all other machines on the LAN | 19:08 |
| ericus | but not for the host | 19:08 |
| ericus | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12062967#post12062967 | 19:09 |
| wylde | ericus: then you'll have to configure that in your network settings. I'm no help with the graphical tools I'm not using untiy :( | 19:09 |
| ericus | some prints in the link | 19:09 |
| ericus | i'm using gnome classic | 19:09 |
| ericus | 11.04 | 19:09 |
| jagginess | 12.04? | 19:09 |
| ericus | no | 19:09 |
| jagginess | or 11.10 ? (11.04 is out of date) | 19:10 |
| wylde | !11.04 | 19:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 19:10 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | 12.04 here, if this was for me. | 19:10 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I'm installing something a bit like a server, an automated media player. | 19:10 |
| ericus | 11.04 | 19:10 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I probably don't want a server-optimized kernel though. | 19:10 |
| helo | wow... 40 minutes trying to get nfs-kernel-server to let me mount a nfs share, and a reboot was all that i needed | 19:11 |
| wylde | ericus: brb, I'll go poke around on the 10.04 box here. | 19:11 |
| helo | i guess 12.04's using the windows xp kernel now? | 19:11 |
| ericus | Could be because of the old distro? | 19:11 |
| ertigo | hello , in unetbootin , "space ysed to preserve file across reboots" should be 0 ? | 19:12 |
| GeekSquid | helo: chances are you installed a new kernel when you installed nfs, you need to reboot to use the new kernel | 19:12 |
| ertigo | used* | 19:12 |
| angs | how can I check if the hmdi port of the pc is working? | 19:12 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | angs: connect a screen to it? | 19:13 |
| OerHeks | ertigo, 0 is fine, but you can use the left space for small storage. | 19:13 |
| ertigo | OerHeks: I am making a bootable usb for ubuntu 10.10 | 19:13 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | angs: if you boot with only HDMI connected, it should work | 19:14 |
| jagginess | angs, it would say it is detected/or nothing connected to it in the x log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) | 19:14 |
| wylde | ericus: you likely just have to set the guest's ip address as the gateway in you network config. you can right click on the network icon, edit connections, then click on IPv4 tab. The rest of the options will be there. You likley just have to change the "gateway" option. | 19:14 |
| OerHeks | ertigo, oke, if you don't need that space, leave it @ 0 | 19:14 |
| angs | Eduard_Munteanu: it is connected but I don't see any output, is there any command like lsusb to see the hdmi or video outputs? | 19:14 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | angs: xrandr, depending on the driver | 19:14 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | Here's the thing I'm trying to remove/get rid of stuff I don't need: If you uninstall Language Support, future updates will not include new items in The Ubuntu desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue? The ubuntu desktop system \n ubuntu-desktop | 19:14 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | so is it safe to remove it? | 19:15 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | angs: what video card is that, and what drivers are you running? | 19:15 |
| angs | I am using an embedded board that has hdmi output, I do not know how it works | 19:15 |
| hc96 | Hi! I'm using ubuntu 12.04. I just added a new user and now I cannot log into my old user.

This happens with all installed user interfaces (ubuntu and gnome shell). How can I see whats going on? | 19:15 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | angs: try messing with xrandr then, or configuring the X server | 19:15 |

| ironm | Hi guys. In case you are looking for it: mariadb-server 5.5.25 repo for off-line installations on ubuntu-server 12.04: http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/mariadb/ubuntu/mariadb-5.5.25-ubuntu-12.04-repo.tgz | 19:16 |
| r00t__ | Hey guys...is there any way for my to inhibit ubuntu from allowing programs to call home? Like a firewall? | 19:16 |
| ironm | http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/mariadb/ubuntu/mariadb-test-5.5.25-ubuntu-12.04-repo.tgz | 19:16 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | hc96: you could ctrl+alt+f1 to a terminal, log in, and investigate from there. | 19:16 |
| wylde | r00t__: ufw | 19:16 |
| ironm | http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/mariadb/ubuntu/mariadb-ubuntu-local-repo.pdf | 19:16 |
| wylde | !ufw | r00t__ | 19:16 |
| ubottu | r00t__: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 19:16 |
| schultza | cant find beagle in the repository.. they the project change names or was added to another project? | 19:17 |
| r00t__ | wylde: thx | 19:17 |
| OerHeks | ertigo, unetbootin is just the tool to make a bootable usb, why remove? | 19:17 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | r00t__: I'd advise you not to run unsafe programs, if that's what you want. | 19:17 |
| hc96 | Eduard_Munteanu: yes I can, but where should I start to look? | 19:17 |
| wylde | r00t__: if you'd like a gui for ufw there's gufw :) | 19:17 |
| hc96 | Eduard_Munteanu: are there any logfiles or sth? | 19:17 |
| r00t__ | wylde: yeah thats what im going to do haha | 19:17 |
| glitsj16 | schultza: beagle .. that's been a while .. are you on ubuntu 12.04? | 19:18 |
| schultza | yes | 19:18 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | hc96: mm, see if the X server starts up properly, say /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:18 |
| asahi | what command can I use to replace filenames fitting a certain pattern? | 19:18 |
| wylde | !find | asahi | 19:18 |
| ubottu | asahi is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, quantal, quantal-backports, quantal-proposed, stable, testing, unstable | 19:18 |
| glitsj16 | schultza: in that case, look into zeitgeist packages | 19:18 |
| wylde | lol whoops | 19:18 |
| wylde | asahi: find is the command | 19:19 |
| diverdude | How do i list all installed php packages? | 19:19 |
| hc96 | Eduard_Munteanu: I think it starts correctly since I see the graphical login screen | 19:19 |
| asahi | wylde: and do I need to pipe the output to another command | 19:19 |
| asahi | ? | 19:19 |
| glitsj16 | schultza: you can check the 'privacy' stanza in system settings as well | 19:19 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | hc96: not sure how ubuntu does that, but I think that's a separate X server. | 19:19 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | does anyone know if its safe to remove language support? off my system | 19:19 |
| wylde | asahi: I don't know the command well enough. I don't think so. Believe you may be able to use the exec{} option to do the renaming. The people in #bash would probably have some good ideas for you. | 19:20 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | Where do I find the minimal install CD? | 19:22 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Or at least some CD that lets me customize what packages I install. | 19:22 |
| LjL | !minimal | Eduard_Munteanu | 19:22 |
| ubottu | Eduard_Munteanu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:22 |

| r00t__ | wylde: erm...nevermind ill stop bugging you xD | 19:23 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Not for 12.04 at least. | 19:23 |
| wylde | r00t__: you likely set an option wrong. :) Have a browse through the ufw info. It may help with setting proper rules. | 19:23 |

| Gyges | vjacob, also check ~/.xsession-errors | 20:25 |

| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: braodcom bcm4311 wireless card | 20:27 |
| profiler1982 | in 11.10ubuntu | 20:28 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, I'm setting up an ASUS WL-330gE wireless access point and setting it to operate in "ethernet adapter" mode. The ASUS has a wireless interface and an ethernet interface built in; putting it in "ethernet adapter" mode apparently bridges its ethernet interface with its wireless interface, which (once I've connected the ASUS to my wireless network) tricks my computer into believing that it's physically connected via eth0 to my | 20:28 |
| pancakes | local (wireless) network. | 20:28 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, some cards need firmware to install | 20:28 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: normally if ethernet was working, ubuntu would find the drivers or i could use some other method to find them, but all i have is another computer and a thumbdrive. any ideas? | 20:29 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, the ASUS begins in factory default settings, at which point it's acting like a router of some kind. In any case, my computer boots up and sees the ASUS at 192.168.1.220 as a default gateway -- an appropriate entry is created in the routing table that lets me connect to the ASUS's web-based management console at 192.168.1.220. | 20:29 |
| Gyges | what about ethernet, what card? | 20:29 |
| vjacob | Gyges, x-session-manager: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0. | 20:29 |
| vjacob | mate-screensaver: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0. | 20:29 |
| Gyges | vjacob, i don't know | 20:30 |
| vjacob | Gyges, good tip though | 20:30 |
| linux_is_my_hero | my other computer has everything working. the trouble computer has a braodcom bcm4100 ethernet card | 20:30 |
| vjacob | Gyges, I don't know either. | 20:30 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, If I go to the ASUS's web-based management console and switch it into ethernet adapter mode WITHOUT first connecting it to my wireless network, then my route table and arp table get flushed (presumably by some automated daemon that's watching eth0?), and I can't even connect to 192.168.1.220 to continue configuration. | 20:30 |
| Gyges | :D | 20:30 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: my other computer has everything working. the trouble computer has a braodcom bcm4100 ethernet card | 20:30 |
| Gyges | ah | 20:31 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, i'm searching for a list of supported cards | 20:31 |
| _pHI_ | is there a way to check with which parameters my distribution loads a kernel module at boot? i.e. the params one would pass to "sudo modprobe"? | 20:31 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, if I reboot, the route table and arp table remain empty and I can't connect to anything. If I manually add a route to 192.168.1.220 on device eth0, and I manually give myself an IP address such as 192.168.1.105, I can connect to the ASUS and continue configuration. | 20:32 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: i stand corrected. its a braodcom bcm4401-b0 | 20:32 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, however, after a minute or two, the manually added route disappears, presumably because some automated process is overwriting my work. | 20:32 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, Once I configure the ASUS to connect to my wireless network, everything goes smoothly and my route table is configured correctly, automatically, when I reboot. But if I don't reboot, the route table stays empty. | 20:33 |
| pancakes | I want to know: how can I initiate the same automated network bootstrap procedure, or whatever it is that's setting up my network configuration, that happens on boot -- without rebooting? | 20:34 |

| vjacob | anyone else? | 20:35 |
| fluffyguy | Bit weird question but is it possible that I have 10 Celsius lower CPU temperatures than on Windows 7? (temp1: +37.0°C (crit = +75.0°C)) | 20:37 |
| vjacob | fluffyguy, yes | 20:37 |
| vjacob | although that would suggest that Windows 7 is rubbish. | 20:37 |
| vjacob | wait... | 20:37 |
| vjacob | that makes sense. | 20:37 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, can you send and ifconfig -a | 20:37 |
| jagginess | fluffyguy, linux is cooler | 20:37 |
| fluffyguy | So "sensors" readings are correct? | 20:38 |
| n3rdo | lol jagginess | 20:38 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, I'd be happy if I just knew what was responsible for these automagic changes. | 20:38 |
| fluffyguy | even though it lists cPU as temp1: +37.0°C (crit = +75.0°C) | 20:38 |
| TrickyJ | Hi all | 20:38 |
| vjacob | its a bit like a freezer | 20:38 |
| vjacob | you put it in there | 20:38 |
| LjL | fluffyguy: difficult to know for sure | 20:39 |
| vjacob | and your computer has ice cubes ad libitum | 20:39 |
| pancakes | Jordan_U, it really bothers me not knowing what's modifying my network settings automatically, and how it's doing it, on my computer | 20:39 |
| vjacob | after all, it is run by penguins. | 20:39 |
| jagginess | pancakes, you trying ifupdown vs nm ? | 20:39 |
| * LjL drags vjacob into #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:40 | |
| pancakes | Is it the kernel? Is it avahi? Is it some script that Ubuntu's devs installed somewhere? I just don' tknow | 20:40 |
| jagginess | pancakes, what are you trying to setup your nic? | 20:40 |
| pancakes | jagginess, I'm just trying to understand what is doing the automatic configuration of my network settings like route table | 20:40 |
| ikonia | pancakes: why do you think something is changing your network ? | 20:40 |
| vjacob | LjL, but i am watching Dr Who... and trying to figure out why my ubuntu distro does not finish offer an X login prompt. | 20:40 |
| jagginess | pancakes, with what command? | 20:40 |
| pancakes | ikonia, I'm changing my network, and something in Ubuntu is detecting the changes and modifying things like my route table as it happens; I want to know what that thing is and how it's doing it. | 20:40 |
| ikonia | pancakes: how are you changing your network settings ? | 20:41 |
| sunshinehappy | how do I stop ubuntu screenshot from making the camera shutter sound? | 20:41 |
| jagginess | "<jagginess> pancakes, you trying ifupdown vs nm ?" | 20:41 |
| vjacob | sunshinehappy, are you setting up surveillance? | 20:41 |
| jagginess | sunshinehappy, why turn that off? that sound is very cool | 20:41 |
| sunshinehappy | no | 20:41 |
| pancakes | ikonia, I'm not changing anything on my Ubuntu machine. I'm just changing the topology of the network and the settings of devices on that network. | 20:41 |
| ikonia | pancakes: ok, what are you changing on your network ? | 20:42 |
| jagginess | pancakes, network-manager | 20:42 |
| sunshinehappy | I don't like it | 20:42 |
| vjacob | well, I'd like to know how to turn it off, I need surveillance... and a camera :D | 20:42 |

| ronny_ | hi guys, i just installed edubuntu on a DEL D630 its all looks fab, but my wireless doesnt work, it has a broadcom driver that can be activated but not supported, i activated it, but still cant get the wifi to work, any ideas ? | 20:44 |
| pancakes | ikonia, specifically, I have a WPA2 secured wireless network with one wireless router (connected to a modem, which goes to my ISP). I recently bought a small device (ASUS WL-330gE) that can act as a bridge connecting my Ubuntu machine's ethernet port with the wireless network. It doesn't start out in that mode; it starts out in different configuration that my Ubuntu machine recognizes well enough so that it automatically creates an | 20:44 |
| pancakes | appropriate route table and so forth...in the ASUS's default state, I can connect to it just fine. | 20:44 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: http://pastebin.com/b5nqh06B | 20:45 |
| ikonia | pancakes: are your IP's supplied by DHCP ? | 20:45 |
| jagginess | pancakes, you have problems doing other pc<->this? (firewall?) | 20:46 |
| pancakes | ikonia, when I switch the ASUS into its bridged mode before connecting it to my wireless network, I'm still able to connect to it just fine because my route table and so forth remain unchanged. | 20:46 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, this showthere is an ethenet card that works | 20:46 |
| pancakes | ikonia, but if I reboot at that point, my route table becomes empty, and even if I manually add a route back in that lets me connect to the ASUS for further configuration, it gets flushed after a minute or two | 20:46 |
| ikonia | pancakes: if you are changing the state of a device you are connected to, it will change your routing table as the network it is connected and the avertised routes will change | 20:46 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, this is not the solution : sudo dhclient eth1 | 20:46 |
| pancakes | ikonia, and what is the thing in my Ubuntu machine that responds to those changes? | 20:47 |
| ikonia | pancakes: will it will be a combination of network manager and the avertised data from your dhcp service | 20:47 |
| pancakes | jagginess, I haven't tried it with another PC, but what I'm trying to understand is unrelated to firewalls | 20:48 |
| bulio | I'm running lubuntu | 20:48 |
| bulio | everytime I plug in my canon dslr to use in mass storage mode | 20:48 |
| bulio | hundreds of lxterminal windows spawn | 20:48 |
| ronny_ | where do i find system utilities in edubuntu ? | 20:48 |
| bulio | what causes this? | 20:48 |
| pancakes | ikonia, is network manager the only thing that would modify my network settings within Ubuntu (in response to advertised data from a DHCP server)? | 20:48 |
| bulio | anyone? | 20:49 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: why then when I try and ping my router does the command line say "connect: Network is unreachable" ? | 20:49 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: I am so confused. | 20:49 |
| ikonia | pancakes: it is the most realistic/logical deducation based on what you've told us | 20:49 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, it first needs to get an ip | 20:49 |
| pancakes | ikonia, that sounds right. I'll check out network manager. thanks | 20:49 |
| pancakes | ikonia, i was just getting really frustrated having no idea what was modifying my settings | 20:50 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: hence the "command" you suggested? | 20:50 |
| Gyges | linux_is_my_hero, yes | 20:50 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, that usually suggests that you don't have a route to the target network... it probably means your computer is not configured properly for your local network, which probably means that the DHCP server, which is probably running on your router, is malfunctioning. You should check your router to make sure it's set up to do DHCP, and you should check your computer to make sure it's set up to use DHCP, too. | 20:52 |
| Gyges | ronny_, do you see other wireless networks? | 20:52 |
| dedechan | Hello, does anybody know Wondershaper on linux? I am trying to reduce the upload speed on eth0 | 20:52 |
| boehmer | hello | 20:52 |
| ikonia | dedechan: I've seen a fair ammount of people complaining that it's a poor tool, but I don't use it myself so can't confirm | 20:52 |
| pancakes | jagginess, ikonia, thanks for your help | 20:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | gyges: its not doing anything except blinking | 20:52 |
| gogeta | dedechan: cant your roughter handel that | 20:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: router has an active dhcp table | 20:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: the computer im using to talk to you right now has one of the entries leased to it by that router :-) | 20:53 |
| dedechan | I have a simple router | 20:53 |
| Gyges | hi boehmer | 20:54 |
| dedechan | I have no clue to be honest | 20:54 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, does your router have a web-based console? can you access it? | 20:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: just checked there | 20:54 |
| pancakes | so you can connect to it. | 20:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: yes | 20:54 |
| pancakes | then something is filtering out the ICMP packets. | 20:54 |
| pancakes | either your local machine (unlikely?) or your router (more likely?) is set up to reject ICMP echo requests with "destination not reachable" or osmething similar | 20:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: im gunna try resetting the dhcp table | 20:55 |
| gogeta | dedechan: it should have qos mode from there you can set the bandwith limits | 20:55 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, I don't think you need to do that | 20:55 |
| boehmer | i am just doing maintenance at a ubuntu laptop i set up 2-3 years ago which has been upgraded through all releases in the meantime | 20:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: what should i do? | 20:55 |
| dedechan | how to know the interface I'm using for internet please ? | 20:55 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, the fact that you can connect to your router in a web browser means that packets are being routed to the router. | 20:55 |
| boehmer | how to fix a users profile if all file type icons are damaged/missing | 20:55 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, check your router's web-based console to see if there's place where you can configure its firewall (or equivalent functionality) | 20:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: thats on a different computer. the same one that is running pidgin for this chat room :-) | 20:56 |
| boehmer | in the file manager most file types and even folders have a plain document as icon | 20:56 |
| gogeta | dedechan: qos can limit uploads on specific or all machines | 20:56 |
| boehmer | how can i restore default file type icons for all file types? | 20:56 |
| vjacob | so I take it that this X thingie generally is'nt something most people play around with fixing in here? | 20:56 |
| tdjones | Hello. I need help with Ubuntu 11.04. I have two folders on my desktop which are locked. How do I unlock them? Is it changing permissions? But I'm the administrator. | 20:56 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, I'm a little confused; I thought you said that the computer from which you cannot ping the router is also the computer from which you are able to access the router's web-based console? | 20:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: i have a desktop which works awesome and everything works, then my laptop next to it is the one with the network issues | 20:57 |
| pancakes | tdjones, what do you mean by 'locked'? maybe it's an ubuntu term i'm not familiar with, but you can verify its permissions with ls -l | 20:57 |
| MonkeyDust | vjacob type !xorgconf to find out why | 20:57 |
| gogeta | dedechan: its bascily what your trying to do at the roughter level rather then using some hacky app | 20:57 |
| L3top | <vjacob> LjL, but i am watching Dr Who... and trying to figure out why my ubuntu distro does not finish offer an X login prompt. I would need more information than that... a bit clearer | 20:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: im doing my comms and web browsing through the desktop | 20:58 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, can you ping the router from your desktop? | 20:58 |
| tdjones | I mean that the folder has a lock symbol on it. | 20:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | sure | 20:58 |
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, and you're sure the laptop has received a dchp lease from the router? | 20:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: done! :-) | 20:58 |
| tdjones | pancakes without removing the lock from it, I can't move it or delete it. | 20:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: checking dhcp table now | 20:58 |
| pancakes | tdjones, I'm not sure what you mean by "the lock" | 20:59 |
| pancakes | tdjones, what are the permissions on the file? | 20:59 |
| Gyges | tdjones, it is permissions | 20:59 |
| tdjones | The folder has the symbol of a padlock on it in the lower right hand corner. | 20:59 |
| tdjones | pancakes how do I check permissions? | 21:00 |
| guntbert | tdjones: open a terminal and type ls -ld Desktop/* | 21:00 |
| dedechan | gogeta: I do not have a lot of knowloedge so I have no choice but using that hacky app ;-) | 21:00 |
| pancakes | tdjones, open a terminal and type ls -l /path/to/my/file | 21:00 |
| dedechan | gogeta: It's only temporary tho, I wanna reduce blizzard dowloader's upload speed, way too high on Wine | 21:00 |
| vjacob | L3top + MonkeyDust, right. I can login using "startx" just fine, but I have to open a console and type it manually (and it opens on F8). However, whenever I boot an Xubuntu load screen appears, never reaches the login prompt though (F7). Any more questions? | 21:01 |
| guntbert | tdjones: use a pastebin to show us the results | 21:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: its there now. apparently the hardware portion of my laptop's ethernet plug is slightly damaged...i had to push it in a little harder than normal, its now in the dhcp table, and its pinging the router, and friefox is on the internet. | 21:01 |

| vjacob | L3top, "lightdm" | 21:02 |
| alexxxx | Hi, Guys! | 21:03 |
| L3top | vjacob: and you are not using lightdm? | 21:03 |
| tdjones | I type ls -l /path/to/my/file? or ls -l /(name of folder)? | 21:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: i'm going hard for wireless drivers so i don't care. in the meantime its pinging infinately so i have a log of missed connections :-) | 21:03 |
| vjacob | I am not sure if I am or should be. | 21:03 |
| vjacob | L3top, I might add that I tried a number of different environments but ended up trying to remove all but MATE | 21:03 |
| guntbert | tdjones: type ls -ld Desktop/* | 21:03 |
| alexxxx | Are MySQL and php pre-installed in Ubuntu 11.10? | 21:03 |
| L3top | xubuntu uses xfce. Ubuntu uses unity/lightdm vjacob | 21:03 |
| davv3_ | hi. why does my newly installed ubuntu identify my monitor and tv as laptops? | 21:03 |
| tdjones | I did that already | 21:03 |
| pancakes | tdjones, either one works, but if you type the exact path you'll just get one result, and if you type the path to the directory, then you'll get a result for each file and folder contained in that folder | 21:04 |
| davv3_ | i have tried both driver alternatives | 21:04 |
| guntbert | alexxxx: no | 21:04 |
| davv3_ | this since doing an upgrade | 21:04 |
| pancakes | tdjones, sorry, are you trying to move a folder or a file? | 21:04 |
| vjacob | L3top, hmmm you seem to have a point there... I take it :) | 21:04 |
| imanc | does every start up script need to have a directory in /var/run ? I'm just reading something which says it is needed but without providing an explanation as to why | 21:04 |
| alexxxx | guntbert: I need it cause I'd like to run site local | 21:04 |
| tdjones | I'm trying to change permissions | 21:04 |
| L3top | vjacob: You will want to find the mate equiv of what is actually in the file I asked you to cat. | 21:04 |
| guntbert | tdjones: thats just for knowing the permissions, please show us the results in a pastebin | 21:04 |
| davv3_ | 1613 people :) | 21:04 |
| vjacob | I did install XFCE, I removed Unity and I am trying to run mate. | 21:04 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: it says it has the broadcom wireless drivers for the 43xx series, but the hardware wireless switch won't activate the wireless | 21:05 |
| L3top | and change it using sudo/gksudo depending on your editor vjacob | 21:05 |
| vjacob | (I also removed XFCE and other environments except MATE to the best of my knowledge) | 21:05 |
| vjacob | ok | 21:05 |
| linux_is_my_hero | pancakes: its a key combination, is it possible that ubuntu doesn't allow the "fn" key immediately? | 21:05 |
| vjacob | I wonder how to find out what that is called | 21:05 |
| davv3_ | i try booting the livecd again | 21:06 |
| tdjones | the name of the folder is recup_dir.1 when i type ls -l /recup_dir.1, it says no such file or directory | 21:06 |
| guntbert | !enter | davv3_ | 21:06 |
| ubottu | davv3_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:06 |
| croz | how does one get package information on ubuntu. especially for packages already installed to see version (from terminal)? | 21:06 |
| L3top | vjacob: it is probably in the same place as lightdm. ls /usr/bin/mat* | 21:06 |
| vjacob | ahh | 21:06 |
| davv3_ | ubottu: ok! | 21:06 |
| imanc | croz - dpkg -L packagename or dpkg —list to list 'em all | 21:06 |
| guntbert | tdjones: use ls -ld ... | 21:07 |
| vjacob | mate-session or mate-wm? | 21:07 |
| croz | thanks imanc! | 21:07 |
| L3top | I dunno vjacob. I don't use mate | 21:07 |
| === torekeke_ is now known as torekek | ||
| pancakes | linux_is_my_hero, I suppose it's conceivable | 21:07 |
| L3top | vjacob: I would login, and call each and see what they do. | 21:07 |
| croz | hmmm that listed a bunch of folders | 21:07 |
| guntbert | davv3_: when your question is spread across half a page no one will be able to see it | 21:07 |
| tdjones | ls -ld /recup_dir.1 no such directory or folder, but it appears on the list in the desktop. | 21:07 |
| croz | i just want to see what version of python i have installed | 21:07 |
| croz | ahhhh python -v | 21:08 |
| guntbert | tdjones: type ls -ld Desktop/recup<tab> | 21:08 |
| imanc | croz .. heh | 21:09 |
| tdjones | it says drwxr-xr-x 2 root root next to the folder in the directory list | 21:09 |
| pancakes | tdjones, try ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:09 |
| tdjones | nothing before ~ ? | 21:09 |
| guntbert | tdjones: now type sudo chown Desktop/recup<tab> | 21:09 |
| pancakes | ls -ld ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:09 |
| guntbert | pancakes: I'll leave it to you :) | 21:10 |
| pancakes | When you typed ls -ld /recup_dir.1 you were actually telling ls to give info about a file located in the root directory "/", not on your desktop (which is located elsewhere) | 21:10 |
| vjacob | L3top, you, sir, brillian] | 21:10 |
| davv3_ | my question is this: how to i revert to the graphics driver that is on the install media without having to reinstall? | 21:10 |
| vjacob | unlike me who type ] instead of ! | 21:10 |
| tdjones | pancakes now it says /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:11 |
| davv3_ | nvidia related since its an old geforce 220 card | 21:11 |
| pancakes | tdjones, that looks correct. | 21:12 |
| tdjones | pancakes now what? | 21:12 |
| L3top | Glad you got going vjacob :) | 21:12 |
| pancakes | what is the output of ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:12 |
| tdjones | pancakes how can I get the output? | 21:12 |
| vjacob | L3top, thank you for saving me from the torment that is Dr Who... | 21:12 |
| pancakes | tdjones, in a terminal, type "ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1" (without quotes) and hit enter, then copy and paste the line that shows recup_dir.1 | 21:13 |
| davv3_ | q: how are system updates managed? | 21:13 |
| tdjones | pancakes a separate terminal or the same one? | 21:13 |
| pancakes | tdjones, the same terminal is fine. | 21:13 |
| tdjones | l get the same output as before | 21:14 |
| Krammer | Hello :) How can I reduce a protected partition with Gparted please ? | 21:14 |
| tdjones | pancakes same output as before /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:14 |
| bekks | Krammer: Release every access to it, like unmounting it, disable swap. | 21:15 |
| pancakes | tdjones, is there output to the left of that? that's what I'm interested in; it tells me who has permissions to do stuff to the directory. | 21:15 |
| Krammer | how can I do it ? | 21:15 |
| davv3_ | to answer my own questions update manager, there is also a revert button there but grayed out in the live media so i boot that now. :D | 21:15 |
| pancakes | tdjones, it should look like this: drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 40 2012-06-29 21:14 foo | 21:15 |
| Krammer | I want to reduce the partition where there is Linux :/ | 21:15 |
| vjacob | L3top, cheers for now] | 21:15 |
| vjacob | to be continued] | 21:15 |
| vjacob | ] is overrated anyways. | 21:15 |
| tdjones | to the left is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 and the date and time | 21:15 |
| tdjones | pancakes to the left is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 date and time | 21:17 |
| Krammer | I have the error message "Daemon is inhibited" | 21:18 |
| tdjones | pancakes are you still there? | 21:18 |
| Hattori | hello, how can i read the last mail from command line? | 21:19 |
| pancakes | tdjones, OK. The problem is most likely that you're not root, and that directory (=folder) belongs to root. the first "root" on that line means that the user "root" has ownership of the directory. The second "root" means that the group "root" also has ownership of that directory. | 21:19 |
| pancakes | tdjones, what is your username? you can find out by typing: whoami | 21:19 |
| Gyges | Hattori, /var/mail/Hattori maybe | 21:19 |
| tdjones | pancakes okay, how can I change permissions to tomjones tomjones? | 21:19 |
| tdjones | pancakes because i notice in terminal it says tomjones tomjones before Desktop/firefox | 21:20 |
| imanc | why why why delilah | 21:20 |
| pancakes | tdjones, type: sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:20 |
| L3top | Hattori: sudo tail -2 /var/mail/root if... you know... you want root mail. | 21:20 |
| guntbert | imanc: please keep to ubuntu support here | 21:20 |
| malik_ | Hi All, why does ubuntu fail to authenticate a user while in GUI mode and accept the same password in the text mode ? | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: is this in the login screen, or during a desktop session? | 21:21 |
| pancakes | tdjones, the "sudo" at the start tells Ubuntu to execute the following command as another user -- as "root" by default. You can't change the permissions on that directory unless you're root because root owns it. | 21:21 |
| Gyges | Krammer, is it the main partition? | 21:21 |
| guntbert | malik_: problems with keyboard layout? | 21:22 |
| tdjones | pancakes it asks for password, then I hit enter and get tomjones@tomjones-Product_Name:~$ | 21:22 |
| RiXtEr-Home_ | malik_, is it root perhaps? | 21:22 |
| Hattori | thanks | 21:22 |
| L3top | np | 21:22 |
| pancakes | tdjones, that most likely means it was successful. Verify that the ownership changed by typing type ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 once more | 21:23 |
| tdjones | oops I notice it says chown: missing operand after tomjones | 21:23 |
| pancakes | oh | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tdjones: what folder are you chowning? | 21:23 |
| tdjones | I believe I'm supposed to be chowning recup_dir.1 no? | 21:23 |
| L3top | tdjones: give the exact command you are issuing please | 21:24 |
| guntbert | tdjones: copy and paste what pancakes showed you into the terminal | 21:24 |
| pancakes | tdjones, yes, that's right. | 21:24 |
| tdjones | sudo chown tomjones:tomjones/home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:24 |
| pancakes | tdjones, there needs to be a space between tomjones:tomjones and /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:24 |
| L3top | space... he got it.. | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tdjones: you need a space between the group and the folder | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: so you can log in to CLI but not desktop? | 21:25 |
| L3top | for the record, to save some strokes you can sudo chown tomjones: ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:25 |
| L3top | assuming you are logged in as tomjones | 21:25 |
| ormris | Hi All. My printer will freeze after printing 10 pages or so. I've tryed printing multiple filetypes and different printer drivers, and it makes no difference. | 21:26 |
| L3top | still gotta have that space though :) | 21:26 |
| ormris | It works in Windows, though. | 21:26 |
| tdjones | sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 yields tomjones@tomjones-Product-Name:~$ | 21:26 |
| ormris | I'm using the latest LTS. | 21:26 |
| malik_ | ActionParsnip, I can login to the system because i deleted the password for the user. Actually it is happening since a long time. initially i had to type the password many time at the login screen to get into the system. Which was quite annoying. So i deleted the password for the user. Now when i type sudo bash in the text mode it just goes to the # prompt but in the GUI mode it asks for a password an i can not do sudo in GUI mode. | 21:26 |
| ormris | The printer stoped working after the update. | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: then set a password for your user in root recovery mode (if necessary) | 21:27 |
| epaphus | Is there anyway i can install an earlier version then php5.3 on my system? | 21:27 |
| jagginess | ormris, make cups happy. | 21:27 |

| Gyges | malik_, sudo -i | 21:27 |
| ormris | jagginess: What would you suggest? | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ormris: what make and model printer? | 21:27 |
| jagginess | ormris, cups | 21:27 |
| jagginess | :) | 21:27 |
| malik_ | ActionParsnip, i tried that, but then i can not login. It just says Authentication failure. | 21:27 |
| jagginess | !cups | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 21:28 |
| ormris | ActionParsnip: Canon MP600 | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: in root recovery mode you can do it | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ormris: why did you not add that to the initial question? | 21:28 |
| tdjones | pancakes what next? | 21:28 |
| pancakes | tdjones, verify that ownership changed by using ls again. | 21:28 |
| ormris | ActionParsnip: I forgot. I apologize. | 21:28 |
| tdjones | pancakes same command? | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ormris: did you grab the driver deb files from the Canon website? | 21:28 |
| pancakes | tdjones, yup. you should see "tomjones tomjones" where you saw "root root". | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ormris: full details in future and its all ok :) | 21:28 |
| ormris | ActionParsnip: No. I will try that now. | 21:29 |
| malik_ | Gyges, sudo -i in text mode works but not in GUI | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root | 21:29 |
| Gyges | gksu gksudo | 21:29 |
| pancakes | tdjones, command is: ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:29 |
| Gyges | malik_, ? | 21:29 |
| tdjones | Yes, now it says tomjones tomjones | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: you can now run: passwd malik; reboot and be ok. Obviously change malik if it's not your ubuntu username | 21:29 |
| tdjones | there's no lock on the folder anymore. | 21:30 |
| malik_ | ActionParsnip, Gyges: I can do anything at the recovery mode. but when i goto normal mode the password is not acceptd | 21:30 |
| pancakes | tdjones, FYI, the -l means "detailed output" and the -d means "give info about directories instead of giving info about their contents"..which is what you want because recpu_dir.1 is a directory, not a file) | 21:30 |
| Krammer | Gyges : I've installed Windows before Linux, 100 Mo to system part, 50 Go to Windows part and 300 go to my documents | 21:30 |
| tdjones | I have folder #2. to verity, type sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.2? | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: set a really simple password like: 12345 see if it works there | 21:30 |
| pancakes | tdjones, on the command line, you can combine options such as -l and -d into -ld or -dl; it doesn't matter. you could have done the exact same thing by typing ls -l -d /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:30 |
| Krammer | then I have installed automatically Ubuntu with Dual boot | 21:30 |
| tdjones | to verify not verity | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tdjones: why not just use: sudo chown -R tomjones:tomjones ~/Desktop | 21:31 |
| malik_ | ActionParsnip, i tried with a very simple two letter password and even then i need to type the password many times before i could log in.. | 21:31 |
| Gyges | Krammer, so gparted just doesn;t work, also youre not trying to resize the linux partition, are you? | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: you could make a new user in root recovery mode, add it to the admin group then set the password for your current user in GUI | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: also, do you have more than 10% free space on all partitions | 21:32 |
| tdjones | it worked thank you so much.! | 21:32 |
| Krammer | I want to reduce Linux partition, from 10X Go to 50 Go :) | 21:32 |
| pancakes | tdjones, actually, before you celebrate, you might want to make sure there are no problems with the ownership of files within the directory... | 21:32 |
| Gyges | Krammer, you might need to boot to livecd to do this | 21:32 |
| Krammer | Ow... | 21:32 |
| tdjones | pancakes how do I do that? | 21:33 |
| Krammer | With the LinuxLiveUSBKey it works ? | 21:33 |
| Gyges | does it have gparted? | 21:33 |
| ifdef42 | Ctrl-Alt-s was bound to some tracker search tool by default; the shortcut didn't show up in the gnome kbd shortcuts though. | 21:33 |
| ifdef42 | i uninstalled tracker, but still C-M-s is swallowed and doesn't make it to my Emacs. any suggestions? | 21:34 |
| pancakes | tdjones, type cd /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 to change the present working directory to /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1...then use ls -l and ls -ld as necessary to check the ownership of some of hte contents | 21:34 |
| pancakes | tdjones, if you're absolutely certain that all of the contents in recup_dir.1 | 21:34 |

| tdjones | i already deleted recup_dir.1 and 2 | 21:35 |
| pancakes | tdjones, if you're absolutely certain that all of the contents in recup_dir.1 should be owned by you, then you can just change the ownership of everything all at once by doing this: sudo chown -R tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 | 21:35 |
| malik_ | ActionParsnip, Yes i have enough diskspace. I actually have created a new user already and is a member of admin group also, Now i try a password for it | 21:35 |
| pancakes | tdjones, then you're done :) | 21:35 |
| tdjones | thank you so much! | 21:35 |

| prodnix | :p | 21:41 |
| prodnix | its not that | 21:41 |
| ifdef42 | probably that "something, something" is more informative | 21:42 |

| Fenikkusu | Perhaps someone here can explain this strange issue. I've got a program that if I run in the terminal background ($ command &), it doesn't immediatly return to the shell. I have to hit enter a second time. Once I do, it returns. This is rather annoying as if I try to run it in a script, it essentially stops there. | 21:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: the computer i'm using to communicate with you right now is free of problems. my laptop, however, is not so easy. they are both ubuntu 11.10 | 21:52 |
| jagginess | thozethingz, ahem if you do filesystem touches with gparted after setting up linux, you may need to fix grub later.. | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: do you dual boot the laptop? | 21:52 |

| mathmoi | Hi, on my mother's Ubuntu system, the resolution is wrong for her user, but not in the login screen or when she log as myself. So I suppose some settings in her session is causing this. I tried to make her change the resolution in NVidia Server Settings and it did not help. Is there A file I could delete in her /home to reset the resolution configuration in her session? | 22:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | You should be able to use the Display application under settings to change the resolution | 22:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | or you can also use xrandr to change the resolution from the command line | 22:17 |
| sw | mathmoi: or '$ rm ~/.config/monitors.xml' | 22:17 |
| ikonia | mathmoi: if you remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will return xorg back to autodetection rather than hardcoded configuration | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmoi: what GPU? does the system have a make and model? | 22:17 |
| mathmoi | I'll try xrandr since I'm trying to do this remotely via SSH. | 22:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: The problem is local to a user, he should need to change anything system wide like that | 22:18 |
| mathmoi | sw: I'll try this too. | 22:18 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: oh, the users set it | 22:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | mathmoi: if you are using SSH you will need to set the environment display variable or it won't do anything | 22:18 |
| mathmoi | ikonia: The system can safely boot without a xorg.conf? | 22:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: yeah... the xorg file is system wide, but a user can adjust their own custom preference | 22:18 |
| ikonia | mathmoi: sure, but that is a a system wide setting rather than a user based one | 22:18 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: I know what xorg is, I just didn't know the user had modified it | 22:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | mathmoi: Yes, you can boot without the xorg.conf file, however any custom settings will not be saved each time the machine is rebooted | 22:19 |
| ikonia | mathmoi: changing the xorg config would not be the way to solve an individual users settings | 22:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: The user didn't modify it, they modified their local session setting that is saved seperately | 22:19 |
| mathmoi | ikonia: Ok, I'll try to delete the file sw suggested first. | 22:20 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: I know, I understand what a "user modified" setting is and that i's not an xorg change | 22:20 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: i found it :-) | 22:20 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: as I've just said I didn't know it was a user specific change, | 22:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | mathmoi: Deleting the Xorg.conf isn't going solve the issue | 22:20 |
| ikonia | mathmoi: I strongly advise you not to remove the xorg.conf | 22:20 |

| sw | ericus: you're in chat, not on a forum. you can ask your question here :-) | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmoi: does the system have a amke and model? What GPU does it use? | 22:21 |
| ericus | sw: I did that earlier | 22:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | ActionParsnip: It's just a user session setting... hardware doesn't matter at this point | 22:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: i found the ethernet card, but the wifi card isn't there | 22:22 |
| sw | ericus: it's unlikely people will waste their time going to that link to read what your problem is. you can ask it here and see if someone can help you, or if not, be patient and ask in a short while :-) | 22:22 |
| mathmoi | ActionParsnip: It's a machine I built. The card is an Nvidia, but I think it does not matters since it's fine in other sessions. | 22:23 |
| ericus | So again then: I have Ubuntu as host, ClearOS in virtualbox as gateway for my LAN. Everything work great, except that the host won't go trough the gateway; it gets another IP from my ISP. Any ideas why? | 22:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: Why are you trying to route all your traffic of the host machine into the VM hosted on the same machine... sounds like your setting yourself up for a some real trouble | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmoi: there are nvidia configs in home, run: nvidia-settings and you should be able to config the res for the user | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: looks like its significant :) | 22:24 |
| ikonia | no | 22:24 |
| ericus | pragmaticenigma: No, I just want ClearOS to act as firewall/GW for ALL my machines, including the host | 22:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | ActionParsnip: He doesn't need that... A single user account is not showing the preferred resolution, all other user accounts are unaffected | 22:24 |
| ikonia | it is NOT an x server problem | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: all I can suggest is shutdown and pull the power out, then the battery and leave it 10 mins, then plug it all back in and power up | 22:24 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: is correct, it's a user based setting | 22:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: You can't | 22:24 |
| ericus | pragmaticenigma: yes, it is possible | 22:25 |
| ikonia | ericus: it's not | 22:25 |
| ikonia | ericus: as the traffic will come through the ubuntu interface before the virtual machine | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: yes because each user has .nvidiarc or somesuch in the root of $HOME | 22:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: What your going to potentially creat is a feedback loop... You host machine is hosting the VM, the VM has to connect out of the host machine which is directing all of its traffic to the VM | 22:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | ActionParsnip: I have never heard or seen that file, but he's also trying to solve this via SSH remotely | 22:26 |
| ericus | ikonia pragmaticenigma have a look at this diagram (second post) http://serverfault.com/questions/380383/virtualized-firewall-under-hyper-v | 22:26 |
| ericus | replace pfSense with ClearOS | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: you can run X based apps due to X forwarding | 22:26 |
| ikonia | ericus: do what you want, | 22:26 |
| ikonia | ericus: it won't work, but go for it | 22:27 |
| ikonia | may as well just get on with it | 22:27 |
| ikonia | ericus: no point asking "how do I do it" if you won't accept it won't work | 22:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | ActionParsnip: that works sort of... part of the problem is without the display variable correctly set it will not know what display is using... if I try to load nvdia settings when Xforward it complains that it can't find the local display | 22:27 |
| ericus | ikonia: okay, I'll take your word for it | 22:27 |
| ikonia | ericus: try it | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: did you run: export DISPLAY=0.0 | 22:28 |
| ericus | ikonia: no, you said it woulnd't work | 22:28 |
| ikonia | good | 22:28 |
| ericus | Strange thing though | 22:28 |
| fishbait | okay i have a 500gb external drive and my os is on 80gb drive and /home on 500gb internal drive how should i back this up? | 22:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | for me that will direct the display to the local machine which I do not have physical access to | 22:28 |
| fishbait | from internals to externals | 22:28 |
| ikonia | fishbait: just copy the data you want to the external disk | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | fishbait: wow 80Gb for /, that's a lot | 22:29 |
| ericus | If I go to whatismyip.com from the host, it shows the IP from ClearOS | 22:29 |
| ericus | but | 22:29 |
| ikonia | ericus: why are you going on about this, you just said you understood it wouldn't work | 22:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: That configuration is using VLAN, which I highly doubt you have the ability to use on your local network | 22:29 |
| ericus | if I SSH to that IP, no reply | 22:29 |
| ikonia | ericus: if you disagree, get on with doing it | 22:29 |
| ericus | the other IP works though | 22:29 |
| ericus | ikonia: i dont disagree! | 22:30 |
| fishbait | can i copy the whole os? | 22:30 |
| ericus | i have no intent to be rude | 22:30 |
| ikonia | ericus: then why are you going on about it | 22:30 |
| === Myr|Away is now known as Myr | ||
| ActionParsnip | fishbait: if you boot to liveCD/USb, sure | 22:30 |
| ericus | Should I maybe go for shorewall instead? | 22:31 |
| ikonia | ericus: the firewall doesn't matter | 22:31 |
| ericus | and install that on ubuntu | 22:31 |
| ikonia | ericus: the concept of what you want to do is flawed | 22:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: On the site you directed me to check out, they have that all setup with a VLAN, which allows a single computer to utilize mutiple IPs over one NIC.. That requires special hardware on the network to accomplish that... if your attempting to this on a home network it is not going to work | 22:31 |
| mathmoi | sw, your solution worked. | 22:31 |
| ericus | ikonia: shorewall is not a distro | 22:31 |
| ikonia | ericus: I know | 22:31 |
| mathmoi | Thanks for your help guys. | 22:31 |
| ikonia | ericus: that's why I said "the firewall doesn't matteR" | 22:32 |
| fishbait | ... hmm well my primary concern is a kernal update that just showed up and being able to roll back if anything goes horribly wrong on top of that i have to re-compile my nic drivers each time | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmoi: nice you setup ssh to help out :) | 22:32 |
| ikonia | fishbait: the kernel update will always keep kernel+1 so you can always boot from the previous kernel | 22:32 |
| ericus | I just need to have a server for my LAN | 22:32 |
| fishbait | will it show in the boot menu? | 22:32 |
| ikonia | ericus: you've got one....your ubuntu machine | 22:32 |
| ericus | And ClearOS does the job | 22:32 |
| ikonia | fishbait: yes | 22:32 |
| Creamfiller | fishbait your isp has been having problems I see | 22:33 |
| ikonia | ericus: then why are you running ubuntu if you want to use clearos | 22:33 |
| fishbait | okay ty new query | 22:33 |
| mathmoi | ActionParsnip: Yep, I solved a problem more than once, buy sshing into her machine. | 22:33 |
| Creamfiller | you will probably disconnect in any moment fishbait | 22:33 |
| ericus | ikonia: because clearos isn't a destop OS | 22:33 |
| mathmoi | I have one of my uncle machine settuped the same way too. | 22:33 |
| ericus | desktop* | 22:33 |
| fishbait | creamfiller: no i have an r8168 realtek onboard nic pita | 22:33 |
| ikonia | ericus: why don't you just run the server functionality you want on your ubuntu desktop ? | 22:33 |
| === djiefo is now known as msirategev | ||
| ActionParsnip | mathmoi: you can mount the SSHFS too and backup their user data for them if you want too :) | 22:34 |
| ericus | ikonia: I'm doing that, besides that the host is not behind ClearOS | 22:34 |
| ikonia | ericus: of course it's not, clearos is a vm on the host, | 22:34 |

| ericus | What good GUI tools are there for IPtables? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | ericus: "ubuntu firewall" | 22:35 |
| ratcheer | ericus: gufw | 22:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus and ikonia : this is a support group for Ubuntu, please take your !offtopic someplace else. Thank you | 22:35 |
| ericus | Sorry pragmaticenigma | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 22:35 |
| fishbait | ... cream you should know i'm proxied by freenode nad have a firewall | 22:35 |
| zax1 | i am having a hell of a time with a fresh install of edubuntu on a dell d630 laptop... the wifi does not want to work. i tried reinstalling it but now i cant even see a wifi option up in the network option, help !@! | 22:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | zax1: Are you able to identify the WiFi card? | 22:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | zax1: or do you know what WiFi acrd is installed on your machine? | 22:36 |
| Creamfiller | are you there fishbait? | 22:36 |
| zax1 | yeah its a broadcom 4311 | 22:36 |
| fishbait | yep | 22:36 |
| Creamfiller | fishbait no cockiness | 22:36 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: there is nothing offtopic about this discussion | 22:36 |
| Creamfiller | shson how is your internet connection? | 22:36 |
| ikonia | ericus: your questions are fine for #ubuntu | 22:37 |
| Creamfiller | chson how is your internet connection? | 22:37 |
| fishbait | creamfiller: i only saw a bunch of pings | 22:37 |
| name_ | anyone have a successful ident tutorial bookmarked? i've tried 2 with no dice. | 22:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | zax1: Broadcom requires a proprietary driver to be installed, | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: what wifi chip is it? | 22:37 |
| Creamfiller | fishbait those were to determine if you were still there or not | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | 22:37 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 22:37 |
| ericus | okay ikonia | 22:37 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: yes i know i went through this document | 22:37 |
| zax1 | i am on edubuntu if that makes any diference ? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: did you install the packages named? | 22:38 |
| ericus | ikonia: i know that in win2k8r2 server you'd be able to have a guest OS to act as a firewall even for the host | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: its just different default packages, the underlying OS is identical | 22:38 |
| ericus | problem is that ClearOS does not work very well in hyper-v | 22:38 |
| Creamfiller | what happened to fishbait? | 22:38 |
| name_ | tried this: https://vornoff.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/ident-daemon-for-debian-and-ubuntu-linux-ident2/ | 22:38 |
| name_ | fail | 22:38 |
| ikonia | Creamfiller: can you stop questioning fishbait and his connection stability please. | 22:38 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: i did apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and pt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 22:39 |
| Creamfiller | ikonia fishbait isn't connected now | 22:39 |
| Creamfiller | that is why I questioned him | 22:39 |
| Creamfiller | his isp has been having problems | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Creamfiller: yes he is, and it doesn't matter if he is or isn't | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: cool, then it will work provided you enabled the install CD as a software source | 22:39 |
| zax1 | i ran aptget update first - i thouht that points it to the net | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: by default yes, do you have a web connection? | 22:40 |
| zax1 | yes through the ethernet | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: great, makes life a tonne easier. get fully updated first. Helps a lot | 22:40 |
| zax1 | i am on this machine now, after the install it told me the firmware is missing for the wifi, and after i aptED it , its now all gone, i can even see the wireless option in the networking section | 22:41 |
| zax1 | can=cant | 22:42 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | I installed Mupen64plus development package off the software center and can't find it, where did it go? | 22:42 |
| Creamfiller | zax1 you are next! | 22:42 |
| zax1 | next 4...? | 22:43 |
| Creamfiller | you will see | 22:43 |
| OerHeks | zax1, after installing firmware, did you reboot? | 22:43 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ? | 22:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Creamfiller: That's not very nice | 22:43 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: I don't see that package in the repos | 22:43 |
| zax1 | OerHeks: i did | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: then run: sudo apt-get insyall b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source | 22:43 |
| Creamfiller | what is not nice pragmaticenigma? | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: should be ok after a reboot | 22:43 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: i ran that as well | 22:43 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, it's there and i downloaded it its "Mupen64plus development package" | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: libmupen64plus-dev that one ? | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_relese -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list; grep -R blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/* | 22:44 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, no its exactley "Mupen64plus development package" | 22:45 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: that is not he package name, that's the package description | 22:45 |

| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, i cheked again thats it | 22:46 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, where did it go? | 22:46 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: what do you mean where did it go ? what are you expecting | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: it's a set of development libraries that are dumped into /usr/lib | 22:47 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, where do i find it on my comp? | 22:47 |
| ericus | If I run full disk encryption on my system disk, is it possible to encrypt other drives as well and have them automatically decrypted on boot? | 22:47 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, where is that? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: /usr/lib | 22:47 |
| ikonia | that is the location for the libraries | 22:47 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, in my home? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: no, in /usr/lib | 22:48 |
| ikonia | your home is /home | 22:48 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: sorry for delay | 22:48 |
| zax1 | http://pastie.org/4174015 | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: did you try the additional drivers app? | 22:48 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, Sorry but how do i find that? | 22:48 |
| zax1 | additional drivers app ? no | 22:49 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: you look in the /usr/lib directory, the lib directory in /usr | 22:49 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, Where in the dash or where do i search that? | 22:49 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: ????? open a file manager, go to /usr, then go to lib in that directory | 22:50 |
| zax1 | from software centre - (jockey-gtk) ? | 22:50 |
| zax1 | actually it says its installed | 22:51 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | ikonia, How do i run it? | 22:52 |
| ikonia | Guy-who-needs-he: you don't, it's a software library | 22:52 |
| OerHeks | zax1, i managed wireless, with starting disable ethernet cable, checked wireless on and just waited for the message available networks, this took 10-15 seconds | 22:53 |

| ActionParsnip | damms005: depends on your aims. | 23:14 |
| dbn_user | I am new in linux | 23:14 |
| FloodBot1 | dbn_user: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:14 |
| dbn_user | ok | 23:14 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | <ActionParsnip> the only ones were downloaded from other places | 23:15 |
| Gyges | then open a partitions manager and run a check | 23:15 |
| Atron | I've got a red warning sign on the status bar up the top that says that update information is outdated. When I try and check for updates, I get this error: | 23:15 |
| Atron | W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 23:15 |
| Atron | , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 23:15 |
| Atron | , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 23:15 |
| Atron | How do I fix it? | 23:15 |
| FloodBot1 | Atron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:15 |
| dbn_user | I unmounted /media/Data and now I cannot remount it .... "not in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" | 23:17 |
| Guy-who-needs-he | actionparsnip, it can't read it | 23:17 |
| Gyges | then open a partitions manager and run a check | 23:17 |
| Gyges | @ dbn_user | 23:17 |
| dbn_user | GParted ? | 23:18 |
| Gyges | yeah | 23:18 |
| bekks | dbn_user: Yes, that will do. | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ PPA only supports up to maverick | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: I hope you upgraded to Natty in between getting to Oneiric | 23:19 |
| Atron | I'm on 11.10 | 23:19 |
| dbn_user | it seems to be in dev/sda5 , mount /media/Data something ? | 23:19 |
| Atron | I've been getting this error for a few months now | 23:19 |
| bekks | dbn_user: No. | 23:19 |
| Atron | Since before 12.04 release | 23:19 |
| bekks | dbn_user: CHECK the filesystem before, using gparted. | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: yes, the PPA only supports up to maverick, so when the system is looking for oneiric files it fails and gives the warning | 23:20 |
| Atron | Is there any way to get it to go away? | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: remove the PPA, simple | 23:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Atron a PPA is an "external" software source, not part of the repos, you have to add/delete it yourself | 23:22 |
| Atron | Ah | 23:22 |
| Atron | Will do | 23:22 |
| OerHeks | softwarecentre > edit > softwaresources | 23:22 |
| Atron | Oh, by the way, whenever I try to upgrade to 12.04, it says it's downloading the tool, the bar reaches 100% and then the window just closes. What do? | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: use the server method in CLI, the output is useful | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: probably caused by the dead PPA | 23:23 |
| dbn_user | it is ntfs /dev/sda5 , i cannot remount it ;( | 23:23 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: OerHeks that didnt work. thanks for you efforts. if i try kubuntu do they have anyting else under the hood ? | 23:24 |
| Atron | So I should remove all the ppa software sources? | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: its the same OS, just a different default DE... | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Atron: I'd just disable them, no need to remove | 23:25 |
| zax1 | am i right in thinking that edubuntu is really limited with its gui ? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: not limited, no | 23:25 |
| zax1 | i tried ubuntu arounf 6.10 - 804 and seem to remember an easier way of getting to the system utilities | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | zax`all i can think of, is the FN key for wireless. sometimes this is locked. unusuall solution, remove battery & powercord, hold powerbutton 10 seconds, and reconnect. | 23:27 |
| OerHeks | zax1 ^^ | 23:27 |
| dbn_user | :( | 23:27 |
| NoOova | hello all | 23:28 |
| Atron | Brb, rebooting | 23:28 |
| NoOova | who has flashblok plugin or disabled flash plugin? | 23:28 |
| zax1 | the d630 has a wireless switch on its side. its a physical dedicated switch not part of the fn combos | 23:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | I use a flashblock plugin with both firefox and chrome | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: in dash you can just search for: driver and the app appears. | 23:28 |
| OerHeks | zax1 no light turn on? | 23:28 |
| dbn_user | how can I remount it ? | 23:29 |
| zax1 | light doesnt turn on, thats a good point | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: try: sudo rfkill unblock all | 23:30 |
| OerHeks | yes thnx ActionParsnip ! | 23:31 |
| zax1 | done | 23:31 |
| zax1 | (dhat am i doing by the way ?) | 23:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | NoOova: Please do attempt that again | 23:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | do not* | 23:31 |
| zax1 | nothing happened - no output or visible change | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: can you pastebin the output of: cat /etc/lsb-release; sudo lshw -C network Thanks | 23:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | where is a room op when you need one | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: there are a few around | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: or you can call them but only in emergency | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: why do you need an op? | 23:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | NoOova is up to no good, trying to get people to go to a rouge page | 23:33 |
| zax1 | ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/4174191 | 23:34 |
| === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs | ||
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: then type: !ops | NoOova | 23:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | ths | 23:34 |
| GraVityGr | hey guys do you know any page with tuts about Python? | 23:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | !ops | NoOova | 23:34 |
| ubottu | NoOova: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, jpds, gnomefreak, bazhang, jussi, Flannel, ikonia, maco, h00k, IdleOne, nhandler or Jordan_U! | 23:34 |
| TUplink | how would one go about adding a second ip address to an interface have no x | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: that does it you see ;0 | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | TUplink: I know you can make subinterfaces in /etc/network/interfaces | 23:35 |
| zax1 | what was that ? | 23:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | TUplink: ip addr .. | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: try: sudo modprobe b43 | 23:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Well, that's only temporary. | 23:35 |
| zax1 | let there be light !!!!! | 23:36 |
| TUplink | i made a sub interface etho:1 and it works but cause "waiting for network configuration" it makes like 2 more min to boot time | 23:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | sadly ActionParsnip , there wasn't any response | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: and if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? | 23:36 |
| IdleOne | pragmaticenigma: there was no evidence either | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: you can tell folks in #ubuntu-ops if you like... | 23:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | thanks | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pragmaticenigma: that too (thanks IdleOne ) | 23:37 |
| zax1 | yeah | 23:37 |
| SilvereX | I googles my problem with the release upgrade tool aborting and found this: | 23:37 |
| SilvereX | The /etc/sudoers.d folder contained a copy of the sudoers file held in /etc and was causing the upgrade process to abort. Having renamed the copy to a .backup version the upgrade to version 12.04 went ahead without further problems. | 23:37 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | pragmaticenigma: if it's indiscriminate, dumb spam, Freenode staff might take action | 23:37 |
| SilvereX | Would that work, and how would I do it? | 23:38 |
| zax1 | the moment i ran the podprobe the wifi section sprang to life | 23:38 |
| zax1 | brilliant | 23:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | The issue is that NoOova pm'd me the message | 23:38 |
| zax1 | thank you very much | 23:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | I don't wish to put it out in the open forum | 23:38 |
| OerHeks | zax1 have fun | 23:38 |
| zax1 | though you might regret it as i may come back for more | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: you need to unblacklist that driver module | 23:39 |
| zax1 | just for my education(it is an edubuntu after all) can you explain what was the issue ? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: you could even run: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null if you want | 23:39 |
| Karlyle | how do i add a network on weechat? | 23:39 |
| Karlyle | specifically ECnet? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: the blacklist files are preventing the OS from loading the module at boot, you manually loaded the module and it's ok | 23:40 |
| Karlyle | (btw, no one is responding in #weechat channel) | 23:40 |
| zax1 | what does the tee - a etc\module command do ? | 23:41 |
| zax1 | is that entering it in to a white list ? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: adds the text to the file | 23:43 |
| genii-around | zax1: /etc/module is modules that are loaded at boot. Since you need admin rights to edit that file, something like echo modulename > /etc/modules does not work as expected. You have to pipe the module name into the command: sudo tee -a /etc/modules instead | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: the /etc/modules file is a list of modules to load | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: I'd still remove the module name from the blacklist file, just to be sure then reboot to test | 23:43 |
| zax1 | and that would take precidense if the os will decide to blacklist this again ? | 23:43 |
| zax1 | remove from etc\modprob.d\blacklist ? | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: it won't re-blacklist it | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: just add a hash to the start of the line and it will be ignored | 23:44 |
| zax1 | see i did that before. and it didnt come back to life till that last comamnd you gave me | 23:45 |
| zax1 | looking for it now ... | 23:45 |
| zax1 | yeah the b43 is hashed out | 23:45 |
| zax1 | though... its refrenced in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf | 23:47 |
| zax1 | as well | 23:47 |
| pndemc__ | how do you use a sudo command when logged in as a secondary account? | 23:49 |
| zax1 | and /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: then comment that out too | 23:49 |
| zax1 | yeah going through tose now. | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: can you see where the issue stems from now :) | 23:51 |
| === cham is now known as amar | ||
| zax1 | for such a usefull file its very unpopular..... | 23:51 |
| zax1 | yeah | 23:51 |
| zax1 | right, reboot to test - thanks for the help guys | 23:51 |
| zax1 | (or gals) | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zax1: sometimes you need to blacklist modules so that the system uses others instead and thats what those files are for | 23:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | ActionParsnip: Ya just missed him | 23:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | (or her) | 23:52 |
