[00:00] KickMeElmo, you can complete names by hitting tab by the way [00:00] 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] output here: http://pastebin.com/206rZHJv [00:01] Thanks altan. Been around five years since I used IRC last. [00:01] 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] Also, not a worry about taking time. You're providing help, and regardless of result that's more than I've got so far. [00:02] OK, back, now to resume trying to figure out my flash problem [00:02] gnome keeps making me login even after ubuntu login screen, how can I turn this off? [00:02] ActionParsnip: okay cool. And its possible to modify it to use gnome or gnome classic? === JUICY is now known as juicy [00:02] associatex what flash problem are you having? [00:02] hi everyone [00:02] GeekAdmin: you can add and remove any packages you want [00:02] Is it possible to use Deja Dup Backups on more than one device? I wanted to back up onto another HDD I have and to the cloud [00:02] does anyone know how I can check if openjdk6 is being used by ubuntu? [00:03] KickMeElmo: does the system have a make and model? Are you wanting HDMI audio? === help is now known as Guest48245 [00:03] lou__: type in a terminal: java -version [00:03] rather, how to check which jdk is being used by eclipse, specifically [00:03] lou__: java -version will tell you [00:03] 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] ActionParsnip: okay thanks :-) [00:03] ActionParsnip: The system's built from parts by me. If you'd like to know individual components, ask away. === Guest48245 is now known as neoh [00:04] And yes, I have 2.0 HDMI audio. I want 7.1 HDMI audio. [00:04] DCheck2, I have two browsers, flash doesn't work in either, chromium or firefox. [00:04] 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] Maybe it's better this way. Last time do-release-upgrade screwed up my GRUB. [00:04] AssociateX: install flash from repos === neoh is now known as ni0h [00:04] which seems to point that I may have the wrong source ? === ni0h is now known as neo [00:05] 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 === neo is now known as Guest97808 [00:05] lou__: you'll have to make sure you get the java6 from oracl'es website === Guest97808 is now known as nei0h [00:06] shit, really?

[00:07] exactly, am not sure. is eclipse using openjdk or sunjdk? === n0x00 is now known as unnix [00:08] 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] lou__: when you type java -version in a terminal window, what does it say? [00:08] which would lead to think that the openjdk source that eclipse is attaching to may not much the jre in use [00:08] let me check [00:08] java version "1.6.0_24" [00:08] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu3) [00:08] OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) [00:09] lou__: it is using openjdk, can you direct msg me? or can I direct msg you? [00:09] of course [00:09] go ahead. thank you [00:10] ^interested in what lunchbox says also [00:10] Dcheck2: i can send you the same info [00:10] whenever i create an ntfs partition with gpareted its size is only ever 1 MiB ??

I keep getting the "rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking" error. I can connect fine from my archlinux laptop [00:13] it previously worked on the same machine when it ran ubuntu 11.10 and fedora 13 [00:13] r3dLunchbox, absolutely [00:13] Ziber, yes, and I think you can also do something like 30/2...but would have to research that one [00:14] hello just installed the new ubunutu , but it wont pick up my wireless. Need help [00:14] the older version picked it up no problem [00:14] 32bit version [00:16] can someone help me out here ?

[00:22] I had a phone call. [00:22] Can someone help me with a problem that I am experiencing with Ubuntu 12.04? [00:23] jag: Would you care to elaborate? [00:23] what is it? [00:23] ?

I'm not the guy to tell you how though. [00:25] your* [00:25] jag: boot to root recovery mode and chown the fuile to your user [00:26] jag: you have been running gui apps with sudo haven't you? does 'sudo nautilus' look familiar? [00:26] I just installed ubuntu so i dont know much about it === one is now known as turok === turok is now known as Nvision [00:27] I read various steps on how to solve this problem. [00:27] jag: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode and select root, you can now run: chown foo:foo /home/foo/.ICEauthority change foo for your username. Eg: chown dave:dave /home/dave/.ICEauthority === Nvision is now known as displayer [00:28] ActionParsnip: how to do that? [00:28] Ill try this solution now. [00:29] rgb247: under file -> connect you can connect to the server and use nautilus to manage the files [00:29] i need help with setting up a bluetooth mouse on 12.04, i tried the builtin bluetooth manager and blueman, both are failing, not sure what is wrong === hch is now known as Guest89162 [00:30] ActionParsnip: you reffer to the Connect to server from Places -> Connect to server ? [00:30] ActionParsnip: he shouldn't need to use the grub recovery, he should be able to just use a TTY console (CTRL+SHIFT+F1) since that won't check ICE (only X does). [00:30] ActionParsnip: Going to head off. I'm a bit overly tired. Thanks for the attention regardless. I'll poke at it more later, and probably be back before too long. [00:30] ActionParsnip: then just use "sudo chown....." [00:30] DarwinSurvivor: possibly [00:30] AcidRain2012, do you have a suggestion which one to install?

[00:42] Recently, i have tried to start Ubuntu, but it automatically takes me to GRUB, i type 'boot' but i get 'no kernal loaded' (or something relative) I dont know what to do to get Ubuntu to just run! Can anybody help me? [00:42] on which what? i use puppy 5.2 and puppy 5.3 alot. [00:43] newb: live mode is running the OS from CD to try it out before installing on your machine [00:43] I am using gparted and ubuntu's disk manager tool [00:43] angry98 if you installed with a new burnt disk iso may be bad. :( [00:44] No, i have had it for a while, i just started getting this problem [00:44] grub should boot ubuntu without you typing anything AngrySpam [00:44] i know, but it takes me to GRUB, is there a way to just start it from there?

I tried the wizard and it is failing everytime. [00:45] pluto: are you getting it connect via BT? [00:45] plut you may have a driver issue. [00:46] r3dLunchb0x: it sees the device but connection fails [00:46] pluto: are you able to pair it using "0000" as the pin? [00:46] pluto: or does it even ask? [00:46] r3dLunchb0x: it doesn't ask [00:46] well you can try and repair - whatever the problem is- by booting off your CD [00:47] angry you probably have a failing hard disk.. did oyou say boot from hard drive? [00:47] jerry_l: try xpud, probably boots faster :) [00:47] pluto: is your machine able to see it? is there a button on the bottom of the mouse to get it to pair? what about the batteries? [00:47] r3dLunchb0x: yes it can see it when searching [00:47] jerry_l: boots in 3 seconds on SATA with single core CPU and 2Gb DDR2 [00:49] exit [00:49] ActionParsnip: try using it on a fast THUMB drive 20Mbts, for small amounts of data its almost twice as fast for access times.. KBs not Mbs! [00:49] pluto: i'd check the documentation of the mouse and see if you can reset it it, and then try to pair again. [00:49] How can i boot ubuntu from GRUB [00:49] jerry_l: indeed, or tinycore :) [00:49] r3dLunchb0x: reset what? [00:49] AngrySpam98: that is default [00:49] pluto: the mouse. [00:50] I've cloned my ubuntu partition to another disk with dd. Do I need to do anything else in order to boot from the new disk? [00:50] r3dLunchb0x: and what exactly does that mean? [00:50] AngrySpam98: just run: sudo update-grub and it will read the available boot things and add it [00:50] angry - grub is a dos looking screen that pops up when you turn the computer screen on. not to be confused with bios. [00:50] ActionParsnip: I know, but i keep getitng this grub thing where i can type things in. I am not good with any of this crap, i just want to know hwo to boot up from it! D: [00:50] I did sudo apt-get purge python2.7 [00:50] oh [00:51] do you think that there is any way that I can recover? [00:51] aristidesfl: you might have to put a boot partition on that drive.... [00:51] perhaps if I connect the installation cd and install everything that's on it and then do an update? [00:51] AngrySpam98: try using a chroot, sounds like grub has had a hiccup [00:51] AngrySpam98: duckduckgo.com/?q=omgubuntu+sticking+it+to+grub&kp=1 [00:51] I just installed 12.04, now everytime I boot it sits at a purple screen, until I hit ctrl+alt+delete, then it will reboot and boot fine. ideas? [00:51] angry you need to do a live boot to edit your grub. [00:51] pluto: reset the mouse to get the PIN back to default.... [00:51] like parted set boot on? [00:51] r3dLunchb0x ^ [00:52] aristidesfl: yes...should be a bootable partition....

[00:54] Is there some one here that uses KVM on Ubuntu? [00:54] sorry guys my problem is confirmed as a bug in gnome-disk-utility since ubuntu 11.10 so they work on that [00:54] pepopi: sorry, i don't [00:55] aristidesfl: boot flag is meaningless to grub [00:56] angry are you still there.? [00:56] ActionParsnip do I need a partition for grub? [00:57] grub can be on a windows partion, but grub must be on a parttion such as a usb thumbdrive [00:57] you can grub from a compact disk aswell [00:57] or DVD [00:57] aristidesfl: another one to look at: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ [00:58] i would rather carry a 4gb thumb drive with 5 different pups on it than a dvd [00:58] r3dLunchb0x canI clone the hard drive I'm booting from? [00:59] clone = clonezilla [00:59] aristidesfl: you can, however I think booting from a liveCD as both of those sites show, will be easier [00:59] * L3top hearts clonezilla [00:59] r3dLunchb0x why? [00:59] How do I set the compose key in Ubuntu 12? There's just nowhere >_> [01:00] is it possible to take an exising ppa package and have launchpad compile it for precise (from lucid) [01:00] like https://launchpad.net/~mojocode/+archive/ppa/?field.series_filter=lucid << [01:00] :)zilla:) most things zilla are good! [01:01] /join elysian_shadows [01:01] aristidesfl: i am not new to linux, but am new to ubuntu, I am not sure of all the tools available. however, if you clone a hdd using linux and the thing doesn't boot you might want to try some other way. [01:01] I have a nvidia gt220 in my machine, along with a Matrox G550. The G550 is working fine, but for some reason in system settings the display shows as a laptop? I can't get anything to display on my nvidia card, even after installing the additional drives. Anyone have any ideas? [01:02] aristidesfl: seems to me like something is missing on the new drive. grub might also not see the new uuid of the cloned hdd. [01:02] aristidesfl: it can go on the ubuntu partition [01:02] r3dLunchb0x shouldn't grub be installed in the new hdd? [01:03] CIDR: you may need an xorg.conf file [01:03] Is it possible to change the vcpu frenquency on KVM? Who could help me? [01:03] there has been times of a PARTITION clone/backup that it misses the BOTSECTOR and wont boot/grob [01:03] ActionParsnip gotcha [01:03] aristidesfl: it would've copied it over, but the uuid is different [01:03] ActionParsnip, I still can't find a wireless card!

[01:04] ActionParsnip any particular changes I need to make? [01:04] aristidesfl: which partition? what shows up when you type "df -k" [01:04] you missed the 54 or 512kbs at the start of the hard drive that the OS ignores. [01:05] jerry_l: yup,that's it... [01:05] r3dLunchb0x the partition where the os is installed [01:05] What would you guys say is a good read speed for a hard drive? [01:06] altan 500MBps [01:06] altan: I have a Netgear WG311T PCI which works out of the box [01:06] if you still have the original HD then do a disk clone so that it put the hidden MBR on the disk. [01:06] ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll look into it! [01:06] aristidesfl: follow some of the guides on the websites I posted above...they make sure you clone the whole thing including the /boot partition. [01:06] single hard drive or raid? [01:06] aristidesfl, that's good. I'm getting 570MBps as a benchmark [01:08] are youall talking SSD? cause my seagate single 500gb doe 126MB/sec [01:08] quit [01:08] are youall talking SSD? cause my seagate single 500gb dose 126MB/sec sustained [01:08] anyone know if this morning's wine update broke something horribly?

[01:11] I'm totally new to it [01:11] ohhh... :( i remeber bcm4300 :( === forkb0mb is now known as sixdahs [01:12] ariel1: sure, you can just add the boot option: text to the desktop OS and it will boot to CLI only :) [01:12] desk top and server on multiple partitions and grub boot loader. or GRUB2 [01:13] i thought the server was striped of a few things and had all the extras for network admin [01:13] ActionParsnip: does this mean i just install Desktop? [01:13] ariel1: may as well === sixdahs is now known as forkb0mb [01:13] I need to run a web server [01:14] but i prefer the GUI [01:14] ariel1, fix my ubuntu first :) [01:14] ariel what is the purpose of install ing more than one? [01:14] jerry_l no purpose, here's what i need: [01:15] I am new to linux, and I need to run a web server at my small agency [01:15] Okay, need a bit of help [01:15] thats why i thought of ubuntu server [01:15] but at the same time i want the GUI [01:15] cause i am not good with the Comand Line only [01:16] what should i do? [01:16] 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] if you need inet data stuff like email is a different story due to security. [01:17] first do you have a extra computer? [01:17] yes [01:17] i want the GUI AND the web server [01:17] i dont mind installing [01:18] uhggg this is annoying. othe rmonitors just don't do a damn thing [01:18] 2nd what is the size and purpose of the webserver? one way data or both way data(email login enter data)? [01:18] ariel1, you want gui and web server? i thought that was click and install, click and then run.. should be simple really [01:18] 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] ariel1, ubuntu software center? [01:18] the actual webserver is APACHE webserver. works real good. [01:19] did i spell that right> [01:19] jerry_l, you forgot the '2' :) [01:19] jagginess, jerry, i still dont understand what i should do sorry [01:19] web server is a small one [01:20] just to run the sites we design at the agency [01:20] LAMP, etc [01:20] keith your downloads are being stored to a temp file that might be limited to the size of your ram (worste case) [01:20] 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] ariel1: so it's for an internal development server? [01:21] YES wylde [01:21] Don't have a clue how to modify to do that. Too new at this. [01:21] 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) [01:22] 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] got the nvidia to display by playing with the "busid" in the xorg.conf [01:22] keith__, you downloading with firefox? [01:22] ari - if you have a website built already (webpages) then it should only take about an hour. [01:22] IYes I am [01:23] 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] keith__, um.. how big is the file and what type of filesystem is the 1tb ? [01:23] keith__, you using wubi? [01:24] option* [01:24] CIDR: suprised you can't run all the displays off just the nvidia [01:24] 2.4GB is the filesize, filesystem unsure, and no I have dual boot Win7 & Ubuntu [01:25] ActionParsnip It only support 2... [01:25] keith__, "df -h / " without quotes [01:25] keith ram? +3gb 32bit or 64bit? [01:25] sadly tasksel isn't installed by default since 10.04 I believe. [01:26] jerry_l, ram isnt disk space [01:26] says /dev/loop0 Size 29GB Used 25G avail 3.2GB ..now I'm confused [01:27] keith__, did you install ubuntu from an .exe / [01:27] image a disk that has a throughput of 2000MB/sec sustained - and you sill need to learn LINUX! [01:27] keith__, that's wubi [01:27] oh ok === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk [01:28] 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] ok so how to change this? Or can I? [01:29] 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] CIDR: gah [01:29] so if I clean my download file and move items to folders on the 1TB, would that help the issue [01:29] 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] 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] I'm using ubuntu 12.4 [01:30] You're probably right, I'll do that.

(2 ?) [01:31] yes [01:31] 2 [01:31] ActionParsnip, thank you so much I'll follow the instruction [01:31] keith__, ok then ubuntu will recognize win7 without problems and add it to the grub menu [01:31] arial - step 1: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/install_apache_on_ubuntu.html [01:32] keith__, let grub install to the default location when it reaches that point..

[01:56] ( lol:)) [01:56] jerry_l, yes [01:57] thiebaude, I'm not sure if there is anything that I haven't tried, but yes, I did that too.

[02:00] yep you can run the live cd, but i would seriously recomend installing it on a 1gb+ thumb drive. [02:00] just dont install grub.. [02:00] AssociateX, just install the live cd and then you will have a choice to install flash , just a suggestion. [02:00] IdleOne, his answer is a good one, I'm trying figure out if flash is an hardware issue or not. [02:01] boot the live iso and then click the install button, it will ask where-> point to the thumb drive and tada! [02:01] why are this packages not updated ?

[03:18] icecube45, right click on your file and go into properties, it should be in the last tab [03:18] L3top: Weren't you going to upgrade flash last night? Sorry :-p I'm in the middle of biology reading.

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] 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 [03:23] 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] err !#bin/sh -.- ...illiterate fingers [03:23] I'm about to tear my sleeves off and kick a chair over this flash thing!

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] And flash gets closer and closer to the grave with each passing day.. ;) [03:24] dr_willis, the sooner the better! [03:25] * dr_willis envisions the farmville owners buying adobe just for flash... to keep farmville going... [03:25] * icecube45 shudders [03:25] [03:25] 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. [03:26] ActionPa1snip, opera says "plug-in has crashed" [03:26] AssociateX: could try linking the .so to ~/.opera/plugins folder [03:27] L3top, well flash is 99% perfect here on pangolin..

[03:28] tubaman, yes. and I tried both packaged as well as latest non-packaged. [03:28] 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] AssociateX, have you tried making it work with onboard graphics if you have them? [03:29] L3top, funny thing is I can play youtube videos on vlc and another player. [03:29] AssociateX, youtube uses html5, right? [03:29] altan, how would I test for onboard graphics? [03:29] jagginess, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=177380 [03:29] AssociateX, you would have to take out your video card [03:30] AssociateX: worth a shot [03:30] No [03:30] altan, html5 are the only vids that work on youtube, nothing flash. [03:30] ok.. do it.. .but [03:30] that isn't it. [03:30] IF the gpu is NOT already onboard [03:31] jagginess: did you try to disable flash hadrware acceleration¿ [03:31] L3top, what? [03:31] Nothing. [03:31] jagginess: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null [03:31] 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] L3top, about taking out my graphics card? [03:31] * L3top is willing to bet that you cannot adhere to the request. [03:32] yes AssociateX. [03:32] jagginess, the mods in that nvidia post worked for me[tm] [03:32] tubaman, i'm betting it's likely directed towards a ubuntu modification [03:32] tubaman, thanks i'll check that out.. [03:32] okay guys, while i test my port fowarding, one more problem [03:33] when my computer comes out of suspend mode, i cant connect to the internet, and have to reboot before i can connect [03:33] I am guessing... based what I remember of your chipset... this is not a "card", but an onboard GPU [03:33] AssociateX: ^ [03:34] altan, still not wkring, the port fowarding [03:35] icecube45, what have you tried? [03:35] L3top, geforce fx5200, I can unplug it. I just don't know if there is an intergrated gpu on my motherboard. [03:35] altan [03:35] i changed to plain udp [03:35] rebooted my router [03:35] icecube45, make sure you're portforwarding to the correct ip address [03:35] and put up the server [03:35] tried canyouseeme.org [03:35] cant connect [03:36] altan: can u explain?

[03:36] icecube45, make sure you're portforwarding to the correct local ip [03:36] icecube45, your local ip is dynamic and will change unless you change it to static [03:36] altan: i know that, im testing with the dynamic one, it has the right one tho [03:37] its very strange [03:37] icecube45, what model is your router? [03:37] um [03:37] Beklin F5D8230-4 [03:39] L3top, I do not have onboard graphics. My geforce fx 5200 is all that I have. [03:39] AssociateX: i don't see the video crashing flash tbh. Have you tried Unity2D session?

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?

Just letting upgrade run then doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:45] r00t___: The program you're trying to compile needs a package called glade [05:45] JoseeAntonioR: let me try [05:46] r00t___: yep it's choking on glade.... hmm [05:46] JoseeAntonioR: thanks installing now wylde: haha thank god I have you guys helping me :p [05:46] np :) [05:46] :) [05:48] wylde: JoseeAntonioR: reinstalling now [05:49] Phoebus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Linux_distribution [05:50] Phoebus: I would also recommend Lubuntu [05:51] I'm still here guys. Just letting upgrade run then doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:51] Ok rebooting now. wylde and dr_willis still here? [05:51] yep [05:51] JoseeAntonioR, the full precise runs ok... but gets overburdeoned with 2 browsers open and libreoffice... I'll try unloading it a bit and if not, Lubuntu. Cheers :) [05:52] 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] Ok. I did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade then I rebooted [05:52] the problem persists. [05:53] starbuck, probably with gnome-extensions (ppa), but it was very broken when i tried to use any gnome-extension [05:54] wylde: JoseeAntonioR: Now the program installed in a different directory and I can't launch the program....hold on [05:55] 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? [05:56] jagginess: i don't even have gnome-extension, apt-cache search can't find it [05:56] 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 [05:57] jagginess: sounds good, thx... [05:58] r00t___: 'sudo updatedb; locate appname;'' [05:58] no ideas anyone? [05:58] croz not yet no, sorry. Looking for an answer though [05:59] hm? [05:59] dr_willis: thank you, i meant you ;) [06:01] what's wrong, croz? [06:01] wylde: i just got done manually removing the programs...will reinstall and then update with the command you gave me xD [06:01] r00t___: alrighty [06:02] dr_willis: how can i run it from desktop? [06:02] r00t___: I was suggesting that in case you needed to locate where the file(s) went [06:03] 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] wylde: not working :/ [06:03] r00t___: hmm [06:03] wylde: ahhhh no I know where they went...its the icons you click on to launch the program I cant find [06:04] r00t___: there may not be any [06:04] wylde: Ive used this same software Ive been trying to install for years [06:04] wylde:...that didnt come out right lol [06:05] r00t___: I'm not on unity right now, but if you type it in the hud does that work? [06:05] lol [06:05] wylde: no :/ [06:05] wylde: brb [06:06] Hi. noob here. how can i install Adobe Acrobat reader(i need it to view 3d PDF documents). i added the ubuntu partner repo but i dont see any apps from it. [06:06] omido, apt-get update , then try [06:07] dr_willis: ok, i go to /home/username -> mkdir bin -> mkdir ding -> create ding.sh -> create .desktop and it sould be on the desktop? sorry, i'm not very exoerienced linux user [06:07] jagginess, I did it many times. both using command line and also update tool [06:07] omido: i do see: acroread as package [06:07] and some language-realted additional adobe packages via apt [06:08] hey what is the package for GLIBC_2.14 [06:08] omido, with sudo? [06:08] fidel, i use Ubuntu software center and my searches there for Adobe , PDF , Acrobat etc has no useful resault [06:08] this damn asus eeepc :( [06:08] thought that it being 3 years old would work swell with ubuntu out of the box [06:09] croz: I wonder how different the 950 is from 945 [06:10] why's that? [06:10] omido, apt-get update, does it show errors? [06:10] croz: possibly installing mesa and mesa-utils may help [06:10] Dan-mc, glibc ? sounds like an old package out there.. you using a tarball? [06:10] omido: open terminal and enter: apt-cache search adobe reader [06:11] * jagginess finds ubuntu software center very slow [06:11] wylde how do i go about doing that? [06:11] jagginess, well im trying to get my mod_rewrite to work and it needs that on the server [06:11] apt-get install mesa [06:11] ? [06:11] first should i remove nomodeset from grub file? [06:11] jagginess: yep - slow/unusable [06:11] croz: yep, 'sudo apt-get install mesa mesa-utils' [06:11] Dan-mc, mod_rewrite? you talking about apache? [06:11] yea [06:12] croz naww [06:12] croz, thought you were trying F10 with the temporary trials on the kernel bootline [06:12] no i just edited it in there [06:12] starbuck: you make /home/yourusername/bin/ding.sh then make the sh script to run your app how it needs to be ran.

[06:15] dr_willis: i got that, but how do i get it on the desktop? [06:15] r00t___: you can't launch it after it's installed? What exactly happens? [06:15] wylde: it says the installation is successful [06:16] wylde: should I maybe restart and see if the icons appear? [06:16] starbuck: you make a whatever.desktop file thats a launcher for it. [06:16] r00t___: ok, can you start it from the command line? [06:16] wylde: I tried but I guess not [06:16] starbuck: the launchter runs the whatever.sh that you made [06:16] wylde: Im going to reinstall and restart [06:16] r00t___: what did it say when you tried? [06:16] wylde i installed mesa-utils [06:16] now what :( [06:17] dr_willis: where do i have to save that whatever.desktop file? same directory like the script? [06:17] wylde: I just don't know the command to start it from command line...its been a while since I used it... [06:17] starbuck: on the desktopo if you want it on the desktop. ;) [06:17] croz: try a reboot, after that all I have for you is try installing xserver-xorg-video-intel to see if that helps. [06:18] ok :) [06:18] wylde: I get the same message that I sent you patebin logs of...about the missing packages [06:19] r00t___: when you try to start it? [06:19] dr_willis: thx, it works, but how do i implement the icon for it? [06:19] wylde: yes [06:20] 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] r00t___: what dr_willis said, after we manage to get it started heh [06:21] wylde: Yeah I have tried multiple different installs for dif versions of the program [06:21] brb [06:21] r00t___: ok, so it didn't give you that error while installing, but now when you try to run the app it fails on the same packages?

[06:38] wylde: http://pastebin.com/MGi6GXg1 [06:38] and then hit ctrl alt f5, then i hit ctrl alt f7 [06:38] and now im in full screen [06:38] -.- [06:38] what is going on here [06:38] lcc, VPN? [06:39] you mean from outside the LAN from the WAN? [06:39] croz: so now it's all the way it should be? [06:39] yes [06:39] i definitely dont want to always have to do that. so what is causing that? i was trying to do this so my wife could use that netbook. === Aaron is now known as Guest94366 [06:39] * mobius420 is failing spectacularly at configuring ddclient with zoneedit === openbees is now known as kaliGAAND [06:40] croz: good question. I honestly don't know. Try rebooting and see if it persists, or if it's going to play nice now. [06:40] wylde: im sorry...i have to go again...ill message you when im back if you are on [06:40] r00t___: is it installing that inside you home directory? [06:40] croz, try google:"netbook model site:wiki.ubuntu.com" [06:40] np [06:40] now i got an error pop up that wants to report to ubuntu [06:41] ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/Xorg [06:41] croz: the xserver crashed. I'd go ahead and file the bug. If it happens again add a comment on the bug that it persists through reboots. === kaliGAAND is now known as kaaalLAUDA [06:44] mobius420: no. when I disable passwords from settings->users it makes the user have no password. [06:45] wylde check this out [06:45] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/199314 [06:45] mobius420: I can then do passwd and define one and it works, but it seems like a hack. [06:46] 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] croz: looks pretty similar [06:46] How could we fix this? :( [06:46] I just want to not have to enter a password at the lightdm login screen. [06:47] croz: the only workaround I see there is to drop to terminal and restart lightdm. [06:47] you csn set lightdm to autologin, if you wanted to. [06:48] 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] 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] dr_willis: beat me to it. Although I don't recall where the is set on unity [06:48] jagginess: yeah, autostart works, just not passwordless login [06:48] login screen settings i belive. [06:48] without a hack that is. [06:48] using the passwd command is a hack? :) [06:49] dr_willis: where can I get to login screen settings? [06:49] try the hud to serch for it,, alt then 'log' [06:49] passwd is not a hack. disabling password from user settings, then enabling with passwd, while login is passwordless is a hack [06:49] i dont memorize menu structures/paths any mopre ;) [06:49] lcc: system settings? I think you can get to them clicking on the cog in the top right of the screen [06:50] disabling the password is actually disabling the account i belive. [06:50] mind you I'm guessing. I don't have a machine with unity running handy to check heh [06:50] wylde: I'm in system settings but don't see login screen or anything. [06:50] in m y phone so i cant look either. l) [06:50] hmmm moment [06:50] lcc, so? if it autostarts then good. [06:51] I can't create or convert to LVM mirrors in 12.04 [06:51] jagginess: it's for someone else who is requesting this feature. [06:51] the idea of a user with a blank pssword is such a security red-flag. ;0 [06:51] lcc, there is something called 'guest' account.. [06:51] Ok Wylde... when i restart the computer. I hit CTRL+ALT+F5 and then login and do sudo service lightdm restart and the desktop works fine... Anything you can think of? [06:51] jagginess: It's a friends computer, they want their own account, but don't want to ever have to input their password. [06:51] i always get this error " Unable to create LV boot_mlog in Volume Group Main: name already in use." [06:52] then this " The link /dev/Main/boot2_mlog should had been created by udev but it was not found. Falling back to direct link creation. [06:52] LV Main/boot2_mlog in use: not deactivating" [06:52] croz: hmmm I don't know off the top of my head when exactly rc.local gets run. [06:53] croz: what I'm thinking is a way to automate the xserver restart [06:53] lcc, then move in with him and type his password when he needs to.. [06:53] 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] lcc, your friend is your ubuntu. remember? [06:54] 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] wylde, lightdm was introduced on 11.10+ . [06:55] jagginess: yep I know. I'm also not on unity to have a poke around. :) [06:55] wylde how can i automate the xserver restart? [06:56] croz with a little script. Although I'd much rather avoid that [06:57] http://askubuntu.com/questions/108955/enable-disable-passwordless-login-autologin-via-gui-command-line [06:57] man unity is HIDEOUS [06:57] i need kde or something right now [06:57] jeez [06:58] * dr_willis has no issues witu unity.... [06:58] I find kde rather.. nasty. ;) [06:58] install kubuntu-desktop if you want kde. [06:58] how do change servers? [06:58] do i* [06:59] what servers? [06:59] ok here i am on my netbook! [06:59] wylde what other options do we have if not to use the script to automatically restart X? [06:59] well, i've yet to read the weechat documentation, and i just wanted to use an irc client that could connect to multiple servers [07:00] croz why are you wanting to automate restarting of the x server? i missed that reason [07:00] Karlyle: most all of them can do that. wechat has a quick start guide aat its home page thats worth reading [07:00] dr_willis: if i do either logout after loggin in then X works correctly. [07:00] croz-netbk: fixing the actual issue. heh. [07:00] or i can do sudo service lightdm restart and it works correctly [07:01] wylde but the solution is unknown. we havent gotten anywhere [07:01] i came upon one solution by mistake :( [07:01] is it possible to chroot from a x64 installation to a x86 one? [07:01] croz one dirty way.. put a 'sleep 30' then 'service lightdm restgtart' in /etc/rc.local [07:01] and that's all we have right now :( [07:01] dr_willis: that's what I was thinking, but yeah it's such a nasty fix [07:02] dr_willis: and read it i shall.

Youd have to set/export it, then start the app [08:11] ZEITGEIST package in ubuntu is there anything to do with movement ZEITGEIST? Also, Ubuntu has something to do with this movement? [08:11] so I just had to add /usr/include/** to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd before I could get to the cups "Add Printer" page, because it wants to open /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h.

I thought the webupd8 or omgubuntu sites had guides on getting 2.8 in ubuntu 12.04 [08:39] yes they have [08:39] ok trying today again === xubuntu is now known as Guest64475 === LJL is now known as LjL [08:46] only thing i really use gimp for was to take photos and screenshots and make icons. ;) How overkill. [08:47] Hi everyone [08:47] Howdies [08:48] Linux Mint installed 100% no issues on this netbook. No issues with half screen or anything. [08:48] I upgraded to kernel 3.4 (i'm on ivy bridge), and now the update manager shows updates to the 3.2 kernel. I guess i can just install the updates, as grub will favorize the 3.4 kernel? [08:48] I wonder why Ubuntu did not. [08:50] uninstalled 2.6 , added ppa, update, but it installs again 2.6.11. maybe coz i use 11.10 .. [08:50] croz mint has a different policy than ubuntu: e.g. closed codecs preinstalled === RICHIH is now known as RichiH [08:52] cairo dock stopped responding, I can't run terminal off it. how do I fix that? reboot? [08:52] mint sort of skirts around some possible 'legal' issues that ubuntu steers very far away from ;) [08:53] 12.04 works fine on my 2 netb ooks. One i just got at xmas time. an EEE somthing. Other is a mich older netbook. So ive no idea what issues your netbook could be having with 12.04 unless its some weird bug in the intel drivers [08:54] Kartagis: go to console and restart X may be easier, or launch a xterm on the desktop via the clo. [08:54] cli === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [08:57] dr_willis, as I read now i should upgrade to 12.04 for easy installing gimp 2.8. Thanks 4 your help [08:58] does 12.04 have 2.8 in it's repos? [08:58] MonkeyDust, no but its a PPA for 2.8 [08:59] Any kernel/grub gurus in here? [09:00] cmol: I have a cool youtube video that might of use to you, but might be better to give your details [09:00] sacalson: I upgraded to kernel 3.4 (i'm on ivy bridge), and now the update manager shows updates to the 3.2 kernel. I guess i can just install the updates, as grub will favorize the 3.4 kernel?

I guess i can just install the updates, as grub will favorize the 3.4 kernel? [09:02] <_raven> i need a jingle cartwall - do you have any idea about such a tool? [09:02] what release are you using that is showing 3.2 and 3.4 kernels? [09:02] _raven: i wonder if anyone in here even knows what a 'jingle cartwall' is.. [09:02] cmol: if it already works then you don't need it and it's not broken, but you can add other kernels and move bettween and change the defaults as desired [09:04] sacarlson: it works fine. I'm just wondering if i can go ahead and install the updates just in case if have to roll back, without messing up my grub [09:04] <_raven> dr_willis any tool that plays multiple soundfiles with one key - for example 12 sounds on the 12 function keys [09:04] 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 [09:05] _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] sacarlson, thanks. I'll mess around :) [09:05] _raven: there is a virtual synthisizer keyboard that will play like a midi player over a number of keys [09:06] _raven: otherwise you can setup hotkeys to play scripts that make any sound you like [09:07] <_raven> sacarlson you mean any sampler? do you know about any tool that would fit? [09:07] _raven: sampler midi player? [09:08] _raven: I'm not sure your looking for music or sound effects or what [09:08] Burps and Belches on the F Keys. ;) [09:08] <_raven> sacarlson any soundfile i am able to program on my own [09:09] dr_willis: ya like those [09:09] 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 [09:10] _raven: there are many sampleing recording editing tools to make or edit sounds, or do you already have the files you need? [09:11] <_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] _raven: if you have the sound files you can just create a bash script that has one line with play yourwavefile.wav [09:12] <_raven> sacarlson i am not so familiar with scripting how would such a line look like? [09:12] _raven: then add a hotkey that will run that script [09:12] http://sourceforge.net/projects/soundboard/ [09:12] _raven: play file.wav [09:12] googled for 'linux soundboard' :) got several hits [09:12] <_raven> sacarlson ah you mean global hotkey sets ok [09:13] <_raven> i'll try that tnx :) [09:13] <_raven> dr_willis i know but i get 404 for every download link [09:14] http://soundboard.sourceforge.net/ [09:14] im on my phone.. so im not downloading it. [09:14] <_raven> dr_willis sry youre right it was another similar tool [09:14] _raven ultimately, you may want to ask in #ubuntustudio, as is more music and multimedia oriented [09:15] should be a rather trivial app to write. :) if you want to totally customize stuff. [09:15] I made similer apps Years ago on my amiga in AmigaBasic and CanDo [09:17] morning folks [09:17] _raven: also might want to look at sampler synthizers like fluidsynth that can be controled by midi sequecers [09:21] hi room [09:21] hi all [09:22] hi sivap [09:23] can any one point to any resources to get started with developing evince(ubuntu's document reader) [09:25] sivapvarma: start here: http://projects.gnome.org/evince/ and select 'Development' [09:25] hello [09:25] i need help [09:25] sivapvarma: http://projects.gnome.org/evince/ http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Developing [09:25] !ask > qwebirc34477 [09:25] qwebirc34477, please see my private message [09:25] k [09:25] !enter > qwebirc34477 [09:25] ;) [09:29] now you have him totallyy confused === anu_ is now known as anu [09:35] if im doing wine ...... to load an application, how can i add that to the launcher? [09:35] in 12.04 [09:36] when i install apps via wine - they normally add a icon to the wine menu, you could drag/drop them to teh launcher perhaps. [09:37] or make a custome.desktop file but that may be overkill. === RESNO is now known as resno [09:41] is there anyway to get a list of every package without a proper security key? [09:41] PPA packages are what I am trying to resolve. [09:42] wubino: what do you mean ? [09:44] I lost my key file for some ppa I installed, I nned to find out wich ones to get the keys for. [09:45] I am a noob [09:45] IYDK [09:45] which ppa? [09:46] better question is how do I pip the errors from my apt-get update to a text file? [09:46] GPG Pubkeys [09:47] wubino: Does this work? apt-get update 2>&1 >/path/to/text/file.txt [09:47] sudo apt-get update >update_error.txt [09:48] wubino: Also to get it both to the file and screen: apt-get update 2>&1 | tee /path/to/text/file.txt [09:48] can somebody help perhaps? [09:49] 2> sends std_err what does | tee do? [09:49] qwebirc34477: You need to ask your question first, we don't know if anybody can help until you do that [09:49] 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] its kinda long story === mariusz_ is now known as mwozniak00 [09:51] I'm trying to install Windows 7 but when I reach the "Where do you want to install windows" sceen, there is nothing listed? [09:52] qwebirc34477: How is that Ubuntu Linux related? [09:52] qwebirc34477: Windows not supported here. [09:52] because a guy said that hapens all the time and ubuntu can fix it but he had to go [09:52] qwebirc34477: As you're asking about installing Windows, you would be better asking in ##windows I would think they'll be better able to help you [09:52] ok [09:53] :) [09:53] whats the best ubuntu C++ Compiler ? [09:54] mingw [09:54] !best [09:54] 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] oh sorry , i think mingw is only for windows ? sorry [09:54] 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] any GUI compiler ? [09:54] for C++ ? [09:55] !c++ [09:55] AdvoWork: is it a gui app? You dont have to run it in a terminal then [09:56] arash , search for gcc compiler . [09:56] !compile [09:56] 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] how is codlite then ? [09:57] Is it any good ? I used NetBeans before but Its too much to download ... [09:57] I need a lightweight one [09:58] I am getting a bootmgr missing and I have no windows partition. Does that mean I need to reinstall grub. [09:58] hateball, yeah gui app [09:58] 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 [09:59] AdvoWork: just running the command as is should work, you dont have to "run it in a terminal" [09:59] how yandex381 ? [09:59] whats the header for c++ ? [09:59] !ot [09:59] #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] hateball, if i try it without, it won't run :S [10:00] @hateball Its a linux question ;) [10:00] Arash: I suggest you read a book/tutorial on programming... you seem to be a novice [10:00] AdvoWork: well wine can be a bit picky. are you running it like "wine ~/whatever.exe" or "wine C:\whatever.exe" ? [10:02] 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] Im not a beginner yandex [10:02] Is a bootmgr missing error a problem with grub [10:02] hateball, i'm doing: wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS4/Dreamweaver.exe" [10:03] I always used Visual Studio for programming so I have no idea how to compile a c application in linux [10:03] arash: try gvim [10:04] can I change the way ubuntu names the hdds? [10:04] lovingyou yes [10:04] arash: compile it with gcc [10:05] you gotta go to root directory [10:05] for some reason I got sda1 2 3, and then sdaa-sdaz [10:05] yes [10:05] ./media/ [10:05] rename D: myname [10:05] for example ;) [10:06] Uh... what. [10:07] yah, I have ignored him also [10:07] hateball, any suggestions? [10:07] Is quantal alpha 2 very stable right now? [10:08] AidsMcGee: no [10:08] AdvoWork: Well does that command work as expected when run manually from a terminal? Without being in that current directory? [10:09] 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] 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] kevininspain: Clonezilla is a pretty painless way to do it, but you have to use something like gparted to resize the partitions [10:09] kevininspain: some minor changes such as the fstab, but yes [10:09] kevininspain: hateball's suggestion is much better though [10:10] hateball, yeah it works fine in a terminal [10:10] Using Clonezilla the UUID etc gets sorted without any manual editing of fstab [10:10] OK guys thanks, got a clearer idea now [10:11] looks like an afternoon with lots of coffee :-) [10:12] Ok thanks, might just dual boot it for the time being then. [10:12] <_Ethan_> hi there [10:13] Hey, the 'Simple Scan' program is telling me 'No scanners detected' but I know for sure it is plugged in/powered on and this scanner is completely compatible (uses the sane epson2 backend) - any ideas?

[10:59] rc server [10:59] irc* [10:59] I normally used CTRL-Z, but that is stopping, not ending? [10:59] Karlyle: i think /connect server name is the standard command [10:59] resno: also, thanks for responding. [11:00] CTRL-X [11:00] resno: oh k, well /connect ECnet doesn't seem to work, and it is an operational server. [11:00] because ctrl-x gives me ^X as output [11:00] if the name is not defined in your configuration, that's normal. [11:00] but nothing happens [11:00] Karlyle: because its not ecnet [11:00] weechat ? irssi ? [11:01] its efnet also [11:01] Karlyle: you know there is #weechat ? [11:01] Karlyle: its irc.ecnet.... whatever its called [11:01] personaly i do use /connect or /server [11:01] http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/devel/weechat_quickstart.en.html [11:01] By default, server buffers are merged with WeeChat core buffer. To switch between core buffer and server buffers, you can use ctrl-X. [11:05] 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 [11:06] stripe: there is no difference regarding hardware support between them. [11:06] possibly its not supported at all stripe.. iinm kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu all use the same base except different UI [11:06] 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 [11:07] 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] stripe: second - try to give us the name of your gfx-device [11:07] otherwise its more then wild guessing ;) [11:08] Thanks for the replys, nvidia GTS450 (have tried the standard, advanced and unstable drivers) [11:08] stripe: are you talking about the drivers directly delivered by ubuntu or those from NV themself? [11:09] there are several ways of getting NV cards to work on linux [11:09] fidel started with the ubuntu supplied drivers, then worked my way up to the nvidia releases [11:10] !details > stripe [11:10] stripe, please see my private message === masterhumper is now known as sejo [11:15] Howdy all [11:17] Hello [11:18] anybody in Argentina?

[11:22] Karlyle: have you consideres using the weechat irc-channel to get additional help? [11:22] :( [11:22] fidel: thank you [11:22] as it might make more sense to ask in the product channel and not in the os-channel ;) === johnm_ is now known as johnm [11:31] hello, if there are any users from Germany, since yesterday I got this when running updates: "W:Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.30 80] [11:31] , E:Some index files failed to download.

[11:34] !de > Lunar_Lander [11:34] Lunar_Lander, please see my private message [11:34] fidel, well English is absolutely no problem for me [11:34] or do you mean that I can find users from germany there? [11:35] i mean: this channel is focused on english - and you are asking for germany - which sounds like you prefer to speak german. [11:35] Lunar_Lander type /join #ubuntu-de to find out [11:35] Lunar_Lander, other mirrors don't have Packages either, they only have Packages.gz [11:35] anyways: if you are looking for germans - consider using the german channel [11:35] Lunar_Lander: but i'm not sure why that's a problem [11:35] no, was just for finding out that one Update issue [11:35] well I am using Ubuntu since December but I like to ask about errors that hadn't occured to me yet [11:36] Lunar_Lander: i mean, the error is certainly not "OK" [11:36] Lunar_Lander: i'm just not sure if the mirror is supposed to not have Packages [11:36] ah [11:36] so there is a serious failure in my PC? [11:36] i have a question [11:36] !ask > Nosophorus [11:36] Nosophorus, please see my private message [11:37] I am having a problem when I type sudo -s http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065851/ can anyone tell me what to do? === will is now known as Realz [11:37] Lunar_Lander: well... i don't get that error when updating (even though my mirror doesn't have the Packages file either), so it seems like something on your end [11:37] are there any problems of doing back up with the command "cp -ruvax"? [11:37] Lunar_Lander: perhaps pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list so i can have a look [11:37] angs: read-only filesystem? could you check how your hd/fs is mounted? [11:38] LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065859/ [11:38] fidel: how can I do it? [11:39] 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] as it cant write on read-only fs ;) [11:41] 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] hm [11:41] virus? rootkit? all passwords stolen? [11:41] Lunar_Lander: i assume you've tried more than just once? [11:41] Lunar_Lander: maybe it was a fluke [11:42] yes, yesterday too [11:42] Lunar_Lander: do you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [11:42] Lunar_Lander: i wouldn't say it seems like something very serious [11:42] Myrtti, yes there is "preceise-partner.list" [11:42] 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] that has "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner #Added by software-center" as the sole entry [11:43] angs: the main question is how you mount your storage medium [11:43] probably because I have skype from the software-center [11:43] angs: so use the mount cmd to verify if my general guess is right [11:44] if so - try to undersatand why that happens - as it might happen by mis-configuration or in case of problems [11:44] how is update manager knowing when a restart is needed? [11:44] iceroot when a new kernel is installed, or so [11:45] MonkeyDust: my question is what is telling update manager that a restart is needed [11:45] are there any problems of doing back up with the command "cp -ruvax"? [11:47] 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] 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] thanks again Myrtti and LjL [11:48] and sorry for thinking about viruses on ubuntu [11:48] hello [11:48] someone here got quite angry about that last week [11:48] Lunar_Lander: i'm sorry i don't have any suggestion [11:48] no problem [11:48] I think it isn't dangerous [11:49] 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] Lunar_Lander: well not dangerous per se, but it should mean that you can't get packages from Universe... [11:49] yea [11:49] iceroot, it's probly dpkg that sees unconfigured files that require a reboot to work , that's my guess [11:49] but nevertheless I got like a kernel update yesterday and so on [11:49] 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] hi guys do anyone know of a good calender program that has sounds and gives alert??? [11:50] Lunar_Lander: just a semi-random thought, do you have "gzip" installed? [11:50] !details > tking [11:50] tking, please see my private message [11:50] LjL, no, as far as I know, how can I check? [11:50] Lunar_Lander: apt-cache policy gzip [11:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065880/ [11:51] so it says "Installed" and "Candidate" [11:51] Lunar_Lander: yes, it's installed as it should be [11:51] 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 [11:52] ah === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [11:53] my cpu is intel i3,ubuntu i386 and ubuntu amd 64 ,which one is better for me? [11:54] 32bit or 64bit ,which is better? [11:55] rango if your hardware supports 64bit, you can use that [11:56] LjL, I am just trying to check for updates again [11:56] and now it is quite slow [11:57] saying "W:Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [11:57] , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." this time [11:57] missing the IP address this time [11:57] is 64bit better than 32bit? [11:57] LjL, found something on the german ubuntu forum [11:57] wait [11:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2012194 can someone help me with this? the installer gui/Xorg does not even start! [11:59] LjL, a guy says that he went into the package manager and switched the server to ("de2.archive.ubuntu.com") [11:59] that did the trick for him [11:59] Pitel type !xorgconf for more information === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [12:00] MonkeyDust: and somehow try to disable noveau driver? [12:00] !xorgconf [12:00] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [12:00] LjL, and still someone else says to go to "Updates" "Preferences" "Software by Ubuntu" and then "Download from: Other" and "Select Best Server" [12:02] lo all, anyone know how to send an sms with smstools ? [12:03] kinda been screwed by vodafone looks like they're killing betavine :S [12:03] ls [12:04] wrong window. [12:04] hello there o/ [12:05] !betavine [12:06] !smstools [12:06] I have a question about LiveUSB updates behavior in regards to the MBR... of a local disk : [12:07] LjL, I am now downloading from tu-bs.de (Braunschweig instead of Dresden) and that works without error [12:07] @caravel: do you mean a persistant disk [12:07] Laice: yes, sorry I am a bit long, let me describe :) === spacebug is now known as spacebug- [12:08] [...] 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] 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] but the alternate Lubuntu doesn't have the software-center and so on, so I doubt it has wpa_supplicant [12:09] MonkeyDust: so, I should let it crash, edit xorg.conf, disable noveau (change it to vesa, or something), and then startx, right? [12:09] how do I get that package to the laptop [12:09] ? [12:09] I mean if I don't have internet [12:09] [...] 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] @Lunar_Lander can you grab a .deb for the package? [12:10] [...] Here is what the MBR currently looks like : http://wklej.org/id/781572/ [12:10] from one of the ubuntu update servers? [12:11] Pitel couldnt help, i have intel video === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [12:11] [...] could anyone please tell me if that looks like a valid windoz MBR, or a grub one ? That's where my limits are on this topic... [12:12] caravel: you've passed my limits on the topic also i'm afraid :) sorry i couldnt help more :( [12:12] Laice, can I like "transplant" it from my Ubuntu here? [12:12] Laice: you don't even have to apologize or answer, then :) just let the topic for whoever master this better than us :) Thanks anyway [12:13] Laice: (that's IRC support fundamentals ;- ) [12:13] How to access grub in Ubuntu 12.04? I don't see grub menu at startup [12:14] ah I can't get into the folder even without rights [12:14] shal3r: Press and hold the left shift key during boot [12:14] hi [12:15] i have ubuntu 12.04 LTS on AMD xp 1800+ and gf FX5200 [12:15] 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] Lunar_Lander: having trouble finding it [12:15] e found, and, what the heck is DHS doing being involved in these processes anyway, i smell a rat here, any ideas ? [12:15] 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] and i have a flash -player problem [12:16] 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] Silly flash. [12:17] i tried google-chrome [12:17] and with flash-aid on firefox works [12:18] LjL, oh === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [12:18] BUT when upgraded to google chrome v20 [12:18] 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] google chrome doesnt start [12:19] Hmm.. Google chrome used its own flash I thought it was built in [12:19] iosif, so is the problem with flash, or chrome? [12:19] and so the firefox flash plugin neither [12:19] google chrome's repository is not available? what is this. -.- [12:19] tbh i'd just use firefox as it works :P [12:19] oh jeesus did i really just say that. Hangon firefox WORKS!?! [12:20] when i install firefox flash it just stay a black square [12:20] Laice, mine is at /var/run/wpa_supplicant [12:20] iosif try flashplugin-installer, in the software center or with apt-get [12:21] Lunar_Lander if you're feeling brave try a transplant. I advise backing everything up though [12:21] I reluctantly gave up on chromium ..tired of google sending ads to me and tracking and registering every website I visit [12:21] but i used and it worked with flash aid [12:21] Laice, yeah, but I saw that I can't acess the folder without root, so that might not be a good idea [12:21] this addon use the google chrome [12:21] i trust nothing google [12:22] maybe it is easier to locate an Ethernet wire and try it with that :) [12:22] Lunar_Lander sounds like science :P [12:22] :P [12:22] so flash player is the problem [12:22] the laptop actually is used in a physics department [12:22] xD [12:22] 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] iosif: sounds more like chrome buggered an update. [12:23] did you see what i posted BluesKaj [12:23] earlier ? [12:23] HackerII, yes [12:23] its creepy [12:23] <_pHI_> r1 [12:23] DHS is gestapo, what the heck are they doing involved with my updates [12:24] 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] HackerII, yeah , it's all about the money ..we should get a cut [12:24] glitsj16: the issue is he has no internet connection on that device [12:24] i know DHS ordered 450 million rounds of hollow point 40 cal, um, what for ? [12:24] Laice: thanks, missed that [12:25] yea [12:25] !ot > HackerII [12:25] HackerII, please see my private message [12:25] glitsj16: happy to throw spanners in the works :D [12:25] <_pHI_> i'm trying to make a record of the files that a "cp -r" copies so that i could potentially remove them all later [12:25] <_pHI_> is there anything obvious? cp -v shows something like "`file_1 -> ../to/file_1'" which is not what i'm looking for...

[12:46] simple way to see it is to load say slashdot.. full screen.. then use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down [12:46] newman2: there's a cool package 'playonlinux' [12:47] its smooth.. but its kind of pixellated with a diagonal tear in it [12:47] snadge, I've noticed it's a bit jittery, but that's about it [12:47] !info playonlinux [12:47] playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine.

[12:47] wN: ubottu is an automated bot, [12:47] i know this program but i cant use it... [12:47] actually i'll log out and log back in to test it [12:47] ikonia: unture. somebody triggered him. [12:47] newman2:why? [12:47] untrue* [12:47] wN: yes, so it's not harrasing you [12:48] lol [12:48] wN: it's being triggered, so stop triggering it [12:48] ikonia: i understand that. it was a joke. [12:48] (if it's annoying you) [12:48] !joke ikonia [12:48] hahaaha [12:48] newman2: what game are you trying to play? [12:48] cuz i have install a lot game but dont works them [12:48] newman2: I'd strongly advise you not to depend on wine as a solution [12:48] newman2:try installing wine and playonlinux [12:48] newman2: use windows to play windows games [12:48] ex: age of empires :D [12:49] 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] lotuspsychje, nvidia-current installed (still tearing) [12:49] i have installed ant a tryed them but dont works them.. [12:49] stripe:try a reboot [12:49] lotuspsychje, OK [12:49] wN: please stop with the nonse [12:49] nonsense [12:50] calling people microsoft lovers etc [12:50] newman2: that should be easy with old games. See http://appdb.winehq.org/index.php [12:50] lol someone gonna get kicked [12:50] GROUP HUG [12:50] hmm.. yeah.. it seems unity scrolls smooth.. its just gnome classic (no effects) that has the jaggy scrolling [12:50] 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] newman2: i recently played hl2 on playonlinux, you gotta have original install cd's though [12:50] wN: I agree with you. [12:50] 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] 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 [12:51] wN: that doesn't make me a "windows lover" [12:51] ikonia: haha ok, i'll admit that was a little over the line [12:51] ikonia is very right about all latest new games, they wont run on linux [12:51] 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.

[12:52] 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] wN: that sounds like a semantic argument game I'm not going to get into.

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] I can not install a package http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065954/ what do I need to do?

[14:08] Burnmoh: also there is another tool called "super grub disk", which is easy to use [14:08] sreejith, you selected where the guest can have full access? [14:08] ok === sadfsgh3 is now known as wrapids [14:10] Can ruby codebases be packaged into debian distobutions?

[14:11] hi [14:12] 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] hi lukibeni [14:12] 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] Dr_willis: yes the gust has full access [14:12] sreejith, so on windows type in the servers ip#. and see if it can find the shares. [14:12] Dr_willis: ok [14:12] +2 (yes TWO) internets if someone can PLEASE tell me HOW DO I CHANGE AN ICON ON THE DASH BAR (Unity)? [14:13] GeeksOnHugs: Which icon do you want to change? [14:13] It's for Eclipse [14:13] \\server.ip.num.ber\sharename [14:13] GeeksOnHugs: Do you want to change the default icon for eclipse? [14:13] how do i set java7 as my default or how can I tell which version is my default? [14:14] 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] eclipse has no installer, you just run the exe [14:14] 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] hi guys i have one problem can i use xcompmgr and cairo compmgr side by side in openbox [14:14] Dr_willis: It cannot access [14:14] GeeksOnHugs: exe? From where did you install eclipse? [14:14] sreejith, does it even show the server and list of shares? [14:15] Dr_willis I tried dragging it didn't work. vibhav I downloaded it from eclipse.org [14:15] I don't mean exe as in windows exe, it's an executible [14:15] and Dr_willis is right it is a java program [14:15] GeeksOnHugs where is the original .exe? [14:15] guys where can i find help with openbox? [14:15] GeeksOnHugs: Please download eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories [14:15] i put it in /usr/opt/eclipse [14:16] vibhav I did but it didn't work [14:16] silverghost, openbox homepage has guides and docs and so forth.. unles syou want to ask your actual question... [14:16] GeeksOnHugs: How? [14:16] so open the file with gedit and change the Icon= path [14:16] Dr_willis: No it did not show [14:16] 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] so I downloaded from the site [14:16] 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. [14:17] Please help how can enable the disabled network icon in ubuntu? [14:17] i am using openboxin ubuntu [14:17] I have it working 100% just the icon is bugging my OCD :P [14:17] 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] openbox in ubuntu i have xcompmgr running can i run cairo compmgr side by side with xcompmgr ?? [14:17] 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 [14:18] 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.

THis is what it says: "Card: HDA ATI SB │ Chip: IDT 92HD81B1C5 " [14:35] 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] sreejith: just check if the packages are installed. with dpkg. [14:35] sreejith: packages are samba, samba-common, smbclient [14:35] 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 [14:36] vikash: it might help to figure out which packages aren't being installed [14:36] semitones, ok, so I am proceeding with partiall update and then I will restart a dn then see. [14:36] @dgandhi: secondary NIC should be configured on eth1 and so on. [14:36] Also, how to get emacs 24 on ubuntu [14:36] sreejith: to check if it's running, just have a look at "ps aux" or "top" [14:36] ? [14:36] kangarooo: oh great!, I was just looking for info on that USB ID, not much there when googling for 25a7:2433 so I am glad it worked [14:36] I dont think the update has come yet?

[14:38] nannes: what is "ps aux" how can i open it [14:38] gandodepth: metacity i think [14:38] bindi_: dedechan also clicking scroll works, but I want C-v combination ... [14:38] alright [14:38] sreejith: It's a command for the terminal [14:39] nannes: in am new in linux [14:39] as it used to do that [14:39] anyone know of a Avaya support channel?

Change the type to windows share and put in the connection details. That should let you browse the other computer [14:40] dedechan: in other programs C-v works normaly [14:40] terminal is terminal :) [14:41] BluesKaj: ok. The laptop model is an hp pavillion dm3 if that helps [14:41] semitones: I am not use to that combination! [14:41] matrillox: the port numbering was arbitrary, and the machine is in active use, I see not reason to remap udev on the NICs when their ordering in interfaces should determine their priority. Irrespective of that, I "ifconfig down" on an interface, and it rose from the dead, which seems like more of an issue. [14:41] j0lly: you can, but I wouldn't. Get a router that does pppoe and wireless then you are much better off for adding other devices. [14:42] semitones, aplay -l will tell us more [14:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066141/ [14:42] BluesKaj: sorry, I was doing it :P [14:42] BluesKaj: is one the speakers, and the other one the headphones? === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [14:44] AlanBell: I share the folder , but i cant access it from windows system that is connected by network [14:44] the other one is the audi portion of the hdmi out , semitones , Card0 is your default , seems like a strange hybrid card to me ...looking [14:45] Hello, I was trying to integrate webkit into my python app [14:45] But when I try to import webkit, it gives an error [14:45] File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named python [14:46] here's the error: File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named python [14:46] Can somebody tell, what is the issue?

Tell me where you're looking -- I'd like to be able to help other people too :) [14:46] sreejith: oh right, you want to access files on Ubuntu from a Windows machine? I guess from windows you would do \\ip of ubuntu machine\sharename and put in a valid username/password for Ubuntu [14:47] philinux, thanx mate, but i'm looking for a simple app like instagram! just by one click [14:49] AlanBell: ys i already given Ip & Username , Password [14:49] what do people use for system basic system monitoring and alerting in the Linux world (I am Windows guy moving to Linux) [14:50] I am happy with the commands used to determine what a system is doing at any particular time, I am just wondering what is used for automatic monitoring and reporting and maybe giving a web interface i can look at with system metrcs [14:50] HFT: nagios [14:50] How can we import webkit module into python?

It looks like either antialiasing or subpixel artifacts. [14:50] HFT: you would actually get a response in #ubuntu-server [14:51] resno: i briefly looked at that but it olooks like a big complicated beast, I am only looking to monitor at most 10-15 servers [14:51] resno is it pretty easy and simple to get up and running ?

How can I make it go as old as when the terminal was opened? [14:53] BluesKaj: alright. What does that do exactly? [14:54] im really struggling to get my webserver open to the public. Im getting "It works" with interior ip, but with exterior ip, it is stalling and says it cant connect. 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] t 80 because i am on it? i also have tried with ssh and it works interior but agian when i try with exterior ip it does not seem to go through [14:54] my god sorry, i should have used paste bin [14:54] hey guys, in gparted, if i have ext3, swap, unallocated…and i want to join the unallocated onto the ext3, how do I go about this? I seem to only be able to "resize/move" up until I hit the swap [14:54] I already share a file in ubuntu , How can i access it from windows [14:55] ograf: Does your router forward the specific port to the internal ip of the computer running the webserver [14:55] that assigns the right driver to the config file making it default semitones , you could also do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [14:56] BluesKaj: snd-hda-intel rather than alsa-hda-dkms [14:56] 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] yes [14:57] semitones, ^ [14:57] ok, I'll restart to test it [14:57] My system is in Ubuntu but my friends cant acces file shared by me , they uses microsoft === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [14:58] sreejith: Have you configured and setup Samba? [14:58] i mean is it possible that the machines them selves have a setting that im not paying attention to? i tried to make sure that they are listening on port 80 [14:58] yandex381: yes , how can i check samba is installed corructly [14:58] but i would think i could at least be able to get ssh connection using my exterior ip? you think it is possible im jamming up the port? [14:59] sreejith: Try accessing shared files from a Windows machine ;) [14:59] should i go try from another network ie; library ? [14:59] ograf: Just a thought, some routers won't let you access the website via www.website.com from teh internal network, can you access it from outside your network, maybe try http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and see if that can see anything [14:59] yandex381: no from ubuntu [15:01] wooohooo DJones you are a genius!! It Works !!!! thank you :) [15:01] ograf: You're welcome, maybe try using something like megaproxy just to check you can see it now [15:02] ograf: Or if you want, pm me the web address and I'll check & let you know [15:03] how can i share file with windows [15:04] samba share?

[15:08] semitones, yes run lsmod | grep snd , it'll proby be the first on thelist [15:08] BluesKaj: can i transfer files through teamviewer [15:08] is there a way to take /dev/sda1 and then /dev/sda2 which is in an extended partition and combine the 2? gparted won't let them mix. [15:09] whoever originally partitioned this machine did not partition it for growth [15:09] sreejith, sorry i don't know much about teamviewer [15:10] whitenoise, delete the partition you don't want then grow the partition you do want.

[15:11] XavierCosta, do you see any networks at all? [15:12] no, it's just says disconnected [15:12] BluesKaj: alright, but will the dkms keep reconfiguring new kernels if I download them? [15:12] sorry, I worded that poorly - can anyone please tell me where stdout gets logged to? [15:12] BluesKaj, there is no data on /dev/sda2, no, but gparted does not give the option to delete it [15:12] XavierCosta, run ifconfig and iwconfig, then pastebin.com it [15:12] geoffw8_: usually nowhere? Unless you direct it [15:12] whitenoise, does it give the option to unmount it? [15:12] how can i transfer files from ubuntu to windows 7 [15:13] sreejith, do you see your windows partition in the sidepanel? [15:13] oCean: ahhh. ok, and how might I do that?

My question is, if I do a backup of my home folder, does it know to back up all the folders and files that the symlinks are pointing to? [15:14] geoffw8_: not at all odd. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto#Control_Flow [15:14] litropy, we got it. we were able to move the swap to the end, then resize the /dev/sda2 down to the end of the drive [15:14] paganel, if you are feeling brave you can try bumblebee.... use at own risk [15:14] whitenoise, the gparted live cd or gparted on ubuntu?

[15:14] whitenoise, nice [15:14] I was using the defualt backup app that comes with ubuntu 12 [15:15] semitones, you need dlms to update kernel modules , whay it was tied to alsa seems like a stopgap for the lack of the right driver ..but I would leave it alone for now [15:15] 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] thanks oCean - its tough though, because I don't actually start ruby [15:15] err dkms [15:15] the server does :) [15:16] litropy: no [15:16] dv310p3r, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else knows. [15:16] litropy, thanks anyways [15:16] 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] 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] sreejith, then it sounds like the simplest way is to use an external hard drive. [15:16] WIsh I could learn that search-fu :) [15:16] semitones, np :) [15:17] geoffw8_: ok, as "in" a program? Not every program logs its output, only errors. Some programs can run in verbose mode, show a little more output [15:17] oCean: ok I see. Hmmm [15:17] litropy: please give breef explanation [15:18] litropy done, and now? [15:18] alright, thanks guys. [15:19] could anybody point me to a tutorial on creating soft raid with parted and mdadm with disks larger than 2TB??

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] 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. [16:13] hii [16:13] O think I have put the commands correctly,now what I should I do? [16:13] I can't*** get flash to work while in the livecd desktop [16:13] AssociateX, you can r cannot get flash working using the livecd? [16:14] litropy, can't* [16:14] 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] AssociateX: this is installing the official Adobe plugin from the Canonical partner repos? [16:14] JoshDreamland, mate? from the mint PPA? thats not supported here [16:14] AssociateX, if it doesn't work with the livecd, it's likely hardware ... but it's odd that specifically flash doesn't work. [16:15] 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] XavierCosta: restart networking [16:15] ok, brb [16:15] litropy, I know, totally weird. L3top will attest to my doing everything under the sun.

[16:17] #ubuntu-begineers [16:17] AssociateX, Makes me wonder if its not some very odd video card/driver/flash explosion goiong on.

And now, should I set it on fire? [16:20] AssociateX, did you use aptitude to upgrade? Or apt-get? Bah, not like it matters ... even the livecd doesn't work. === Jacob_ is now known as Guest39327 [16:20] XavierCosta_: are you POSITIVE the cable you have plugged into this is feeding DHCP AND online? [16:20] mneptok, no but at this point not even the livecd works [16:21] mneptok: He no longer has a previous kernel... did a fresh install [16:21] munh. [16:21] oh yeah [16:21] XavierCosta_, L3top, it could be a router setting ... you could try wiring directly to your modem, rebooting the modem. [16:22] XavierCosta_: this^ [16:22] litropy yes, done it, I will see if I have another cable, maybe this one is not working [16:23] XavierCosta_, but of course that's going to throw your working machine offline until you wire your router back up. [16:23] 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] AssociateX: laptop? desktop? [16:23] desktop [16:23] AssociateX, im not sure if any distos come with flash thes3e days or not. I said tiny core- because its.. tiny. ;) [16:23] XavierCosta_, you tried wiring right to your modem then rebooting the modem? Then ya, try another wire. [16:23] Dr_willis, ok [16:24] 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] 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] mneptok: lspci does not reveal one. [16:24] Hi there, my jack output doesn't work in Ubuntu 12.04, could you help me to fix it? [16:24] if i need help with ubuntu server, is this a place i could ask? [16:24] mneptok, there are no onboard graphics [16:25] AssociateX: is there another grfx card lying somewhere you could put in the machine to test with the LiveCD? [16:25] i hate this raid stuff [16:26] 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] mneptok, no. [16:26] thanks li [16:26] thanks litropy [16:26] for the record, I built this box a little over 9 years ago, so that's how old it is. [16:26] 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. [16:27] 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] :( [16:27] lol mneptok [16:27] 9 yrs old.. :) could be the Flux Cappacator is all fluxxed out! [16:27] mneptok, ha ha [16:27] okay L3top [16:27] 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] :/ [16:28] AssociateX: Lets try and pin an older version. [16:28] :O [16:28] litropy, could tihis info help? http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=50a94566896c2103bc228b78d15a55e6d86f4dbc [16:28] L3top, um, like install an older release? [16:28] AssociateX: Fedora or some other distro is something to try. a good suggestion. [16:28] no questions? [16:30] AssociateX: yes... first lets sudo apt-get remove purge flashplugin-installer (I believe purge no longer requires -- in 1204) [16:30] L3top, um, like install an older release of ubuntu or flash? [16:30] flash [16:30] ok [16:31] L3top, done [16:32] 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 [16:33] ok [16:35] 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] Jacruth, Yes, it can, but I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe someone else can help. [16:35] OerHeks, it was working two weeks ago [16:35] 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. [16:36] XavierCosta_: Does your modem have multiple outputs? because you would have to drop to connect directly to the modem [16:36] litropy, I'm going to ask in #alsa, guys from #jack told me that is a better channel to ask it. Thanks! [16:37] 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? [16:38] L3top, hmm... inputs or outputs? [16:38] I have a modem/router [16:38] XavierCosta_, how many ethernet inputs does your modem have [16:38] 4 [16:39] XavierCosta_, is it one box or two? [16:39] and I'm connecting in this one via wireless. One box [16:39] XavierCosta_, how many ethernet inputs does your modem/router have [16:39] litropy 4 [16:40] XavierCosta_, K. And you rebooted the modem after you connected your comp to it via wire? [16:41] litropy yes, I 've rebooted the modem (causing all wireless and cable connections to drop) and still no luck [16:41] XavierCosta_: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | grep eth [16:41] Hi !

If you've got a little more time, http://ubuntuforums.org/ has a search function and a plethora of informative posts that are categorized for your ease of use. I hope this helps. :-) [16:46] yes, it returned a result, i was going to put it on pastebin but it's not working... [16:46] did it return just eth0 or also an eth1?

But, if I set their shell to /bin/false in /etc/passwd, even the program I set for the forced command isn't executed. How can I disable the shell while also permitting my forced command to run?

Your disapproval is noted and you may rest assured that that sort of response will not be repeated; at least from me. :) [16:53] Sidewinder: thanks [16:53] NP.

[16:55] !notunity | pistolas [16:55] pistolas: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

[17:50] not sure what else you mean [17:50] kav: whats that do, exactly, thanks [17:51] Hi [17:51] retain your compiz to intial position [17:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [17:51] there seems to be an issue between ccsm, sccsm, and right clicking desktop and changing that way. like they are all trying to do the same thing [17:52] L3top -> http://pastebin.com/0ZcGPV4B [17:52] i have tried -replace before, i logged out and again, did not retain settings [17:52] PRabyte : alt + ctr +f1 ---> shutdown -r now [17:52] those settings are what I want... apart from the red speckles lol [17:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/957277 [17:53] Launchpad bug 807801 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #957277 grub-update fails to detect windows bootloader on a uefi system" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:53] litropy, just a moment, i will reply to you in a moment [17:53] try restart then tell me [17:53] ok, here is what i will do, i will goto the desktop way, change it to none, then goto ccsm and make my changes to a new profile and save to .profile in home/dir. than i will issue that command, then reboot, ill be back [17:54] squev: you should post on the forum in detail, listing EVERYTHING [17:54] ok [17:54] i really feel these 3 programs are all conflicting each other [17:54] !info grub-efi [17:54] grub-efi (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package).

[17:54] lets find out [17:54] brb [17:54] L3top. as I said, on that folder i have no file named 70-persistent-net.rules ,only one named 70-persistent-cd.rules . I'm trying to create a new one with that name but I'm not being allowed [17:54] squev: long story [17:55] ok dokie [17:55] squev, if you are sure you are on an EFI system try installing the uefi-grub perhaps. [17:55] wellit's currently booting into EFI [17:55] but I dont think it was with Mint [17:55] 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] Dr_willis : hey you forget me [17:55] gimme a second IngCr3at1on [17:55] squev: are you sure that is Ubuntu is using EFI [17:55] np, thanks for the help [17:55] L3top, where is libflashplayer.so located on your system again? [17:55] Dr_willis : you don't solve my problem [17:56] kav, ive basically said all i know on the topic of casper-rw [17:56] bye [17:56] dobby156: pretty sure [17:56] O ! === root is now known as dulio [17:56] dobby156: /sys/firmware/efi exists [17:56] ok ! Dr_willis [17:56] you sayd you were going to try somtning.. and then that was it.. [17:56] /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so AssociateX [17:56] L3top, thank you [17:56] squev: what about windows is that EFI for sure? [17:56] dobby156: no, I dont think it is [17:56] thats the problem [17:57] I might reinstall ubuntu.. with BIOS [17:57] that link related to live CD [17:57] may you just need to install grb-bios [17:57] oh, maybe [17:57] IngCr3at1on: can you please pastebin the output of xrandr --verbose [17:57] squev: is /home separate from / [17:57] Dr_willis : i need for live usb [17:58] kav: uh oh [17:58] kav, that statment makes no sence.. [17:58] dobby156: no [17:58] dobby156: i just elt ubunutu decide that [17:58] ok ! [17:58] kav http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066454/ [17:58] squev: have you checked they are actually difference [17:58] error [17:58] dobby156: checked what? [17:58] ur thoughts? kav [17:58] L3top: http://pastebin.com/LKscb82i [17:58] squev: well do you know that ubuntu does partition? [17:59] try comiz --replace [17:59] dobby156: i dont have a partitoon for home [17:59] squev: damn ubuntu is worse than I thought [17:59] " - - " squeeze the space between them [17:59] squev: are you reinstalling your ubuntu? [17:59] a /home on its own partition is not a default setup. ;) but its easially done. [17:59] compiz - - replace [18:00] dulio: not yet [18:00] then press ctrl + N [18:00] dulio: going to see ifI can just install grub2 bios [18:00] Oo apparently the speckles show up in pictures to, I hadn't noticed [18:00] ? [18:00] squev: back that shit up first incase the replacing of grub fails, then you can just wipe the system [18:01] squev: Is grub2 in partition? [18:01] dulio: what do you mean? [18:01] how do I cgheck what grub2 package I have installed? [18:01] PRabyte : 1. compiz --replace [18:01] 2. ctrl + N [18:02] PRabyte : is this open a new window [18:02] dobby156: where would I backup to [18:02] squev: my server would work [18:02] squev: I'm confusd [18:02] 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] squev: actually I can use this freeNAS box [18:03] 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] dobby156: theres basically nothing on here anyway [18:03] squev: usb key [18:03] squev: food is proably ready [18:03] probs [18:04] 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] PRabyte : O ! but every time it work for me [18:04] 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] 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. [18:05] 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] 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? [18:06] XavierCosta, man mv [18:06] PRabyte normally you shouldnt have to, i have it enabled (for testing purposes) and it works fine [18:06] how did you config it MonkeyDust [18:06] PRabyte though I don't like/use compiz [18:06] 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] PRabyte using ccsm [18:06] what is your desktop manager MonkeyDust [18:06] where is the new file you created XavierCosta? === kendal is now known as rdash [18:07] i have none selected for right click desktop method i described [18:07] MonkeyDust: may i see your .profile or .compiz settings? [18:07] pastebin MonkeyDust [18:07] i cannot get ubuntu software center to download anything cant find the packages [18:07] or gconf MonkeyDust [18:08] L3top - >home/xavier [18:08] 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] fuzzynurfhurter: no repos defined in software sources [18:09] 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 === mrk is now known as Guest38289 [18:09] i think his software center is showing blank screen [18:09] fuzzynurfhurter: they have port 6667 enabled, you are on irc. so most likely not a fw issue [18:10] 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] possible perm issues [18:10] fuzzynurfhurter: screen shot and paste what you are seeing, so we can see [18:10] XavierCosta: sudo cp /home/xavier/70-persistent-rules.net /etc/udev/rules.d then chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules then sudo chown root: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [18:10] fuzzynurfhurter: alt-prntscr save and send [18:10] PRabyte .compiz and .compiz-1 look a mess, unreadable [18:10] could somebody help me with a header problem? I am trying to build a package and it spits out: configure: error: ncurses or ncursesw selected, but library not found (--without-ncurses to disable) [18:10] MonkeyDust: lolol [18:11] however ncurses.h does exist [18:11] MonkeyDust: this has been driving me nuts for some time now [18:11] L3top: I'm sorry I didn't think about this; would the fact that it's hdmi make a difference? [18:12] ratbert90: can you pastebin the actual output and: apt-cache policy libncurses5-dev; ? [18:12] it will download some stuff but not others [18:12] i tried to dl firefox it wont === rdash is now known as rainbowdash7000 [18:12] sure can [18:12] hey ! can any one tell me how to run mblaze in backtrack [18:13] 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] 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. [18:14] net Shutter in backtrack how ? [18:14] IngCr3at1on: did you say something about red speckles? [18:14] PRabyte : net Shutter in backtrack how ? [18:14] im going to try and remove sccsm and ccsm and use the default desktop method, and try saving a .profile [18:14] kav: ? no idea [18:14] kav: whats that do? [18:14] O !

[18:32] yup ! jagginess [18:32] kav, you'll have to join a mailing list for that.. (but you'll have to google) [18:32] O !

[18:49] wylde: yes. [18:49] black* [18:49] Black with a blinking cursor [18:49] i boot full linux [18:49] damit he left [18:49] !nomodeset | navatwo: try this out ;) [18:49] press that install button, and then do ctrl + alt + f1 [18:49] 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] 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] yikes [18:50] *my gnome [18:50] Ubuntu 12.04: Super+D doesn't minimize windows... is there a different shortcut to show dekstop? [18:50] navatwo: also, if that still fails you may want to get the alternate install cd with the text based installer [18:51] DaDaDOSPrompt, you can also ask in ##linux [18:51] ok [18:51] asad2005, PPA's are unsupported here, because they can create troubles, or leave you in trouble after removing it. [18:51] there a way to find out which disks are raid10 mirror pairs with mdadm ? [18:52] jiffe98, type: cat /proc/mdstat [18:52] you should see the names of some HDD /dev/ files [18:52] 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] or a pattern specifying them [18:52] but it times out every time [18:52] just trying to mount from localhost [18:52] I'm going to try something else... I'll be back [18:53] DaDaDOSPrompt: when I do that I see md127 : active raid10 sdb[4] sda[0] sdc[2] sdd[3] [18:54] sdb is a rebuuilding spare right now so it may pop in spot 1 after it is rebuilt [18:54] spot 1 in what list? [18:54] or which list, rather [18:55] or perhaps what after all === mkudlur is now known as keveman [18:55] i cant change themes from apperance [18:58] Hi, does the alternate install let me install a minimal X environment, or should I go with the server one instead? [18:58] I don't want the whole Gnome/Unity thing [18:59] Eduard_Munteanu, alternate iso allows to do raid setup upon install (software-grade raid) [19:00] 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] 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] anyone know of package source that contains eclipse juno? [19:01] Eduard_Munteanu, you can always uninstall unity later.. [19:01] Eduard_Munteanu: Alternate version installs the same things as the desktop version does. You need the "minimal install" I guess [19:01] rsumi: the new eclipse? you should just download the binary package and extract it on Desktop [19:01] oh, the pairs? [19:01] hmm [19:01] 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] it seems my Software Update locked up and has been sitting here over 2 hours... what should I do? [19:01] so you're saying that there are 2+ logical disks in that output, jiffe98 ? [19:01] if so, hm [19:01] 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 [19:02] if that's the case, then we may have to write a quick script to divine the truth [19:02] mdadm can surely give us the info we seek [19:02] yes, I think I see how to do it [19:02] Koganei: something like Puppet would make that fairly trivial [19:02] 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] 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] 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] 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] ooh [19:02] so I know which drives can fail without breaking the raid [19:02] hm [19:03] on the plus side, xorg.conf shows both monitos : http://pastebin.com/bfSmSvVZ [19:03] 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] Koganei: or converting from virtualbox disk format to qcow2 [19:04] alankila: i like packages because they setup icons and such [19:04] welp, when i find the fix for compiz and 10.04 LTS gnome desktop, i will post. thanks l8 [19:04] Maior: that sounds cool, thanks [19:05] Anyone good at virtualbox? [19:05] !anyone | ericus [19:05] 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] what replaces beagle? [19:06] 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] In bash once you have used the command sudo apt -get update to get the updates how do you install them? [19:06] nannes: hm, i see. [19:06] alankila: I'll check that out thanks [19:06] jiffe98, have you played with mdadm much? [19:06] jagginess: yeah, but I'm not planning on doing any of those. [19:06] Mainly I just want X and some X apps. [19:06] 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 [19:07] LAN works fine [19:07] I suppose I should go with the minimal install. Does that let you do automated deployments? [19:07] But the host get's another IP towards the internet [19:07] ericus try changing NAT to bridgd [19:08] ericus: so, basically you want the vbox guest to be the gateway to the internet? [19:08] MonkeyDust: on the interface (WAN) I have it set to bridged [19:08] yes wylde [19:08] It's working fine for all other machines on the LAN [19:08] but not for the host [19:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12062967#post12062967 [19:09] 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] some prints in the link [19:09] i'm using gnome classic [19:09] 11.04 [19:09] 12.04? [19:09] no [19:10] or 11.10 ? (11.04 is out of date) [19:10] !11.04 [19:10] 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] 12.04 here, if this was for me. [19:10] I'm installing something a bit like a server, an automated media player. [19:10] 11.04 [19:10] I probably don't want a server-optimized kernel though. [19:11] 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] ericus: brb, I'll go poke around on the 10.04 box here. [19:11] i guess 12.04's using the windows xp kernel now? [19:11] Could be because of the old distro? [19:12] hello , in unetbootin , "space ysed to preserve file across reboots" should be 0 ? [19:12] helo: chances are you installed a new kernel when you installed nfs, you need to reboot to use the new kernel [19:12] used* [19:12] how can I check if the hmdi port of the pc is working? [19:13] angs: connect a screen to it? [19:13] ertigo, 0 is fine, but you can use the left space for small storage. [19:13] OerHeks: I am making a bootable usb for ubuntu 10.10 [19:14] angs: if you boot with only HDMI connected, it should work [19:14] angs, it would say it is detected/or nothing connected to it in the x log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) [19:14] 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] ertigo, oke, if you don't need that space, leave it @ 0 [19:14] 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] angs: xrandr, depending on the driver [19:14] 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 [19:15] so is it safe to remove it? [19:15] angs: what video card is that, and what drivers are you running? [19:15] I am using an embedded board that has hdmi output, I do not know how it works [19:15] Hi! I'm using ubuntu 12.04. I just added a new user and now I cannot log into my old user. When I enter the password at the ubuntu login prompt, the screens gets black for a few seconds and afterwards I'm at the login screen again. This happens with all installed user interfaces (ubuntu and gnome shell). How can I see whats going on? [19:15] angs: try messing with xrandr then, or configuring the X server [19:15] OerHeks: shall i delete unetbootn.ee when making a bootable usb ? [19:15] unetbootin* [19:16] 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] Hey guys...is there any way for my to inhibit ubuntu from allowing programs to call home? Like a firewall? [19:16] http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/mariadb/ubuntu/mariadb-test-5.5.25-ubuntu-12.04-repo.tgz [19:16] hc96: you could ctrl+alt+f1 to a terminal, log in, and investigate from there. [19:16] r00t__: ufw [19:16] http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/mariadb/ubuntu/mariadb-ubuntu-local-repo.pdf [19:16] !ufw | r00t__ [19:16] 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. [19:17] cant find beagle in the repository.. they the project change names or was added to another project? [19:17] wylde: thx [19:17] ertigo, unetbootin is just the tool to make a bootable usb, why remove? [19:17] r00t__: I'd advise you not to run unsafe programs, if that's what you want. [19:17] Eduard_Munteanu: yes I can, but where should I start to look? [19:17] r00t__: if you'd like a gui for ufw there's gufw :) [19:17] Eduard_Munteanu: are there any logfiles or sth? [19:17] wylde: yeah thats what im going to do haha [19:18] schultza: beagle .. that's been a while .. are you on ubuntu 12.04? [19:18] yes [19:18] hc96: mm, see if the X server starts up properly, say /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:18] what command can I use to replace filenames fitting a certain pattern? [19:18] !find | asahi [19:18] 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] schultza: in that case, look into zeitgeist packages [19:18] lol whoops [19:19] asahi: find is the command [19:19] How do i list all installed php packages? [19:19] Eduard_Munteanu: I think it starts correctly since I see the graphical login screen [19:19] wylde: and do I need to pipe the output to another command [19:19] ? [19:19] schultza: you can check the 'privacy' stanza in system settings as well [19:19] hc96: not sure how ubuntu does that, but I think that's a separate X server. [19:19] does anyone know if its safe to remove language support? off my system [19:20] 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] k, thanks [19:21] diverdude: dpkg -l | grep php may do it [19:21] have a sony vaio with switchable graphics, both cards show up in lspci but I'm not sure which one is active or if they both are? [19:21] trying to fix my xorg.config for 2 xscreens and somehow lost the ability to use my wireless mouse... is that even possible? lol [19:22] Where do I find the minimal install CD? [19:22] Or at least some CD that lets me customize what packages I install. [19:22] !minimal | Eduard_Munteanu [19:22] 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] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [19:22] wylde: when I try to add a rule it tells me there is an error in adding a rule [19:23] davinciad: yeah, I couldn't find it there :/ [19:23] wylde: erm...nevermind ill stop bugging you xD [19:23] Not for 12.04 at least. [19:23] r00t__: you likely set an option wrong. :) Have a browse through the ufw info. It may help with setting proper rules. [19:24] will we be able to play flash videos after adobe abandoned support for flash player on linux? whats gonna happen now? [19:25] DaDaDOSPrompt: I have [19:25] hm... I got it. Just needed to remove the ~/.Xauthority file [19:25] now it works again [19:25] Would anyone be able to help a relatively inexperienced Linux user recover a SNAFU'd 11.10->12.04 upgrade? [19:27] LjL: strange, why isn't it mirrored alongside the other CDs?

[19:30] Elgerot: Scary. My best suggestion (aside from hoping you made backups beforehand)if a wipe and fresh install.

How can I change to sort Descending instead of ASC? === goku is now known as Guest19613 [19:31] Mm, I think I'll just get the server version :/ [19:32] I don' [19:33] hey all [19:33] catcher: clicking the 'Date Modified' column header works as a toggle [19:33] I don't have enough words to thank Cottus for lending me a helping hand. He deserves a word of appreciation for being with me for close to 5 hours , patiently solving all my noobish doubts. [19:33] glitsj16, hoping for a way to set the default.. [19:34] Hats off to you Cottus , you rock \m/ . I know all people in here rock for the amazing work they do , but Cottus you are awesome :) [19:34] may I ask a probably FAQ [19:34] keep it down :D [19:34] but i can't figure it out [19:34] praises go to Linux [19:35] how to disable screen 'go to offline' - BLACK when watching a mov [19:35] ie [19:35] or anything, lets say, i'm exportin a large file [19:35] Use linux Be free [19:35] or copy a whole bunch of files [19:36] i've disabled the screen saver [19:36] erm , is there a way to upgrade directly from 10.10 to 12.04 ?? [19:36] before the today update it worked okay [19:36] anyone? [19:36] * Cottus laughs [19:37] catcher: have you checked your preferences?

What problem are you actually having? [20:25] help! i can't get my linux computer to find wired ethernet drivers :-( [20:25] vjacob, also check ~/.xsession-errors [20:26] linux_is_my_hero, send an lspci [20:27] gyges: its a broadcom bcm4400 ethernet card [20:27] did k10temp sensor show corect valve on apu c-60? my temperature is around 77c [20:27] gyges: braodcom bcm4311 wireless card [20:28] in 11.10ubuntu [20:28] 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] local (wireless) network. [20:28] linux_is_my_hero, some cards need firmware to install [20:29] 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] 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] what about ethernet, what card? [20:29] Gyges, x-session-manager: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0. [20:29] mate-screensaver: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0. [20:30] vjacob, i don't know [20:30] Gyges, good tip though [20:30] my other computer has everything working. the trouble computer has a braodcom bcm4100 ethernet card [20:30] Gyges, I don't know either. [20:30] 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] :D [20:30] gyges: my other computer has everything working. the trouble computer has a braodcom bcm4100 ethernet card [20:31] ah [20:31] 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"? [20:32] 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] gyges: i stand corrected. its a braodcom bcm4401-b0 [20:32] Jordan_U, however, after a minute or two, the manually added route disappears, presumably because some automated process is overwriting my work. [20:33] 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. [20:34] 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? === nrd^ is now known as n3rd [20:35] anyone else? [20:37] 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] fluffyguy, yes [20:37] although that would suggest that Windows 7 is rubbish. [20:37] wait... [20:37] that makes sense. [20:37] linux_is_my_hero, can you send and ifconfig -a [20:37] fluffyguy, linux is cooler [20:38] So "sensors" readings are correct? [20:38] lol jagginess [20:38] Jordan_U, I'd be happy if I just knew what was responsible for these automagic changes. [20:38] even though it lists cPU as temp1: +37.0°C (crit = +75.0°C) [20:38] Hi all [20:38] its a bit like a freezer [20:38] you put it in there [20:39] fluffyguy: difficult to know for sure [20:39] and your computer has ice cubes ad libitum [20:39] 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] after all, it is run by penguins. [20:39] pancakes, you trying ifupdown vs nm ? [20:40] * LjL drags vjacob into #ubuntu-offtopic [20:40] Is it the kernel? Is it avahi? Is it some script that Ubuntu's devs installed somewhere? I just don' tknow [20:40] pancakes, what are you trying to setup your nic? [20:40] jagginess, I'm just trying to understand what is doing the automatic configuration of my network settings like route table [20:40] pancakes: why do you think something is changing your network ? [20:40] 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] pancakes, with what command? [20:40] 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. [20:41] pancakes: how are you changing your network settings ? [20:41] how do I stop ubuntu screenshot from making the camera shutter sound? [20:41] " pancakes, you trying ifupdown vs nm ?" [20:41] sunshinehappy, are you setting up surveillance? [20:41] sunshinehappy, why turn that off? that sound is very cool [20:41] no [20:41] 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. [20:42] pancakes: ok, what are you changing on your network ? [20:42] pancakes, network-manager [20:42] I don't like it [20:42] well, I'd like to know how to turn it off, I need surveillance... and a camera :D [20:42] pancakes, http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/ [20:43] heh [20:44] 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] 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] appropriate route table and so forth...in the ASUS's default state, I can connect to it just fine. [20:45] gyges: http://pastebin.com/b5nqh06B [20:45] pancakes: are your IP's supplied by DHCP ? [20:46] pancakes, you have problems doing other pc<->this? (firewall?) [20:46] 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] linux_is_my_hero, this showthere is an ethenet card that works [20:46] 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] 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] linux_is_my_hero, this is not the solution : sudo dhclient eth1 [20:47] ikonia, and what is the thing in my Ubuntu machine that responds to those changes? [20:47] pancakes: will it will be a combination of network manager and the avertised data from your dhcp service [20:48] jagginess, I haven't tried it with another PC, but what I'm trying to understand is unrelated to firewalls [20:48] I'm running lubuntu [20:48] everytime I plug in my canon dslr to use in mass storage mode [20:48] hundreds of lxterminal windows spawn [20:48] where do i find system utilities in edubuntu ? [20:48] what causes this? [20:48] ikonia, is network manager the only thing that would modify my network settings within Ubuntu (in response to advertised data from a DHCP server)? [20:49] anyone? [20:49] gyges: why then when I try and ping my router does the command line say "connect: Network is unreachable" ? [20:49] gyges: I am so confused. [20:49] pancakes: it is the most realistic/logical deducation based on what you've told us [20:49] linux_is_my_hero, it first needs to get an ip [20:49] ikonia, that sounds right. I'll check out network manager. thanks [20:50] ikonia, i was just getting really frustrated having no idea what was modifying my settings [20:50] gyges: hence the "command" you suggested? [20:50] linux_is_my_hero, yes [20:52] 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] ronny_, do you see other wireless networks? [20:52] Hello, does anybody know Wondershaper on linux? I am trying to reduce the upload speed on eth0 [20:52] hello [20:52] 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] jagginess, ikonia, thanks for your help [20:52] gyges: its not doing anything except blinking [20:52] dedechan: cant your roughter handel that [20:52] pancakes: router has an active dhcp table [20:53] pancakes: the computer im using to talk to you right now has one of the entries leased to it by that router :-) [20:53] I have a simple router [20:54] hi boehmer [20:54] I have no clue to be honest [20:54] linux_is_my_hero, does your router have a web-based console? can you access it? [20:54] pancakes: just checked there [20:54] so you can connect to it. [20:54] pancakes: yes [20:54] then something is filtering out the ICMP packets. [20:55] 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] pancakes: im gunna try resetting the dhcp table [20:55] dedechan: it should have qos mode from there you can set the bandwith limits [20:55] linux_is_my_hero, I don't think you need to do that [20:55] 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] pancakes: what should i do? [20:55] how to know the interface I'm using for internet please ? [20:55] 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] how to fix a users profile if all file type icons are damaged/missing [20:56] 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] pancakes: thats on a different computer. the same one that is running pidgin for this chat room :-) [20:56] in the file manager most file types and even folders have a plain document as icon [20:56] dedechan: qos can limit uploads on specific or all machines [20:56] how can i restore default file type icons for all file types? [20:56] so I take it that this X thingie generally is'nt something most people play around with fixing in here? [20:56] 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. [20:57] 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] 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] 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] vjacob type !xorgconf to find out why [20:57] dedechan: its bascily what your trying to do at the roughter level rather then using some hacky app [20:58] 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] pancakes: im doing my comms and web browsing through the desktop [20:58] linux_is_my_hero, can you ping the router from your desktop? [20:58] I mean that the folder has a lock symbol on it. [20:58] sure [20:58] linux_is_my_hero, and you're sure the laptop has received a dchp lease from the router? [20:58] pancakes: done! :-) [20:58] pancakes without removing the lock from it, I can't move it or delete it. [20:58] pancakes: checking dhcp table now [20:59] tdjones, I'm not sure what you mean by "the lock" [20:59] tdjones, what are the permissions on the file? [20:59] tdjones, it is permissions [20:59] The folder has the symbol of a padlock on it in the lower right hand corner. [21:00] pancakes how do I check permissions? [21:00] tdjones: open a terminal and type ls -ld Desktop/* [21:00] gogeta: I do not have a lot of knowloedge so I have no choice but using that hacky app ;-) [21:00] tdjones, open a terminal and type ls -l /path/to/my/file [21:00] gogeta: It's only temporary tho, I wanna reduce blizzard dowloader's upload speed, way too high on Wine [21:01] 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] tdjones: use a pastebin to show us the results [21:01] 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.

[21:02] pancakes: thanks for your help, despite me being an idiot and forgetting that old computers wear out [21:02] vjacob: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager [21:02] linux_is_my_hero, it's uncommon but it can happen [21:02] glad to hear you figured it out [21:02] L3top, "lightdm" [21:03] Hi, Guys! [21:03] vjacob: and you are not using lightdm? [21:03] I type ls -l /path/to/my/file? or ls -l /(name of folder)? [21:03] 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] I am not sure if I am or should be. [21:03] L3top, I might add that I tried a number of different environments but ended up trying to remove all but MATE [21:03] tdjones: type ls -ld Desktop/* [21:03] Are MySQL and php pre-installed in Ubuntu 11.10? [21:03] xubuntu uses xfce. Ubuntu uses unity/lightdm vjacob [21:03] hi. why does my newly installed ubuntu identify my monitor and tv as laptops? [21:03] I did that already [21:04] 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] i have tried both driver alternatives [21:04] alexxxx: no [21:04] this since doing an upgrade [21:04] tdjones, sorry, are you trying to move a folder or a file? [21:04] L3top, hmmm you seem to have a point there... I take it :) [21:04] 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] guntbert: I need it cause I'd like to run site local [21:04] I'm trying to change permissions [21:04] vjacob: You will want to find the mate equiv of what is actually in the file I asked you to cat. [21:04] tdjones: thats just for knowing the permissions, please show us the results in a pastebin [21:04] 1613 people :) [21:04] I did install XFCE, I removed Unity and I am trying to run mate. [21:05] 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] and change it using sudo/gksudo depending on your editor vjacob [21:05] (I also removed XFCE and other environments except MATE to the best of my knowledge) [21:05] ok [21:05] pancakes: its a key combination, is it possible that ubuntu doesn't allow the "fn" key immediately? [21:05] I wonder how to find out what that is called [21:06] i try booting the livecd again [21:06] 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] !enter | davv3_ [21:06] davv3_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:06] how does one get package information on ubuntu. especially for packages already installed to see version (from terminal)? [21:06] vjacob: it is probably in the same place as lightdm. ls /usr/bin/mat* [21:06] ahh [21:06] ubottu: ok! [21:06] croz - dpkg -L packagename or dpkg —list to list 'em all [21:07] tdjones: use ls -ld ... [21:07] mate-session or mate-wm? [21:07] thanks imanc! [21:07] I dunno vjacob. I don't use mate === torekeke_ is now known as torekek [21:07] linux_is_my_hero, I suppose it's conceivable [21:07] vjacob: I would login, and call each and see what they do. [21:07] hmmm that listed a bunch of folders [21:07] davv3_: when your question is spread across half a page no one will be able to see it [21:07] ls -ld /recup_dir.1 no such directory or folder, but it appears on the list in the desktop. [21:07] i just want to see what version of python i have installed [21:08] ahhhh python -v [21:08] tdjones: type ls -ld Desktop/recup [21:09] croz .. heh [21:09] it says drwxr-xr-x 2 root root next to the folder in the directory list [21:09] tdjones, try ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:09] nothing before ~ ? [21:09] tdjones: now type sudo chown Desktop/recup [21:09] ls -ld ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:10] pancakes: I'll leave it to you :) [21:10] 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] L3top, you, sir, brillian] [21:10] my question is this: how to i revert to the graphics driver that is on the install media without having to reinstall? [21:10] unlike me who type ] instead of ! [21:11] pancakes now it says /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:11] nvidia related since its an old geforce 220 card [21:12] tdjones, that looks correct. [21:12] pancakes now what? [21:12] Glad you got going vjacob :) [21:12] what is the output of ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:12] pancakes how can I get the output? [21:12] L3top, thank you for saving me from the torment that is Dr Who... [21:13] 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] q: how are system updates managed? [21:13] pancakes a separate terminal or the same one? [21:13] tdjones, the same terminal is fine. [21:14] l get the same output as before [21:14] Hello :) How can I reduce a protected partition with Gparted please ? [21:14] pancakes same output as before /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:15] Krammer: Release every access to it, like unmounting it, disable swap. [21:15] 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] how can I do it ? [21:15] 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] tdjones, it should look like this: drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 40 2012-06-29 21:14 foo [21:15] I want to reduce the partition where there is Linux :/ [21:15] L3top, cheers for now] [21:15] to be continued] [21:15] ] is overrated anyways. [21:15] to the left is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 and the date and time [21:17] pancakes to the left is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 date and time [21:18] I have the error message "Daemon is inhibited" [21:18] pancakes are you still there? [21:19] hello, how can i read the last mail from command line? [21:19] 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] tdjones, what is your username? you can find out by typing: whoami [21:19] Hattori, /var/mail/Hattori maybe [21:19] pancakes okay, how can I change permissions to tomjones tomjones? [21:20] pancakes because i notice in terminal it says tomjones tomjones before Desktop/firefox [21:20] why why why delilah [21:20] tdjones, type: sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:20] Hattori: sudo tail -2 /var/mail/root if... you know... you want root mail. [21:20] imanc: please keep to ubuntu support here [21:21] 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] malik_: is this in the login screen, or during a desktop session? [21:21] 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] Krammer, is it the main partition? [21:22] malik_: problems with keyboard layout? [21:22] pancakes it asks for password, then I hit enter and get tomjones@tomjones-Product_Name:~$ [21:22] malik_, is it root perhaps? [21:22] thanks [21:22] np [21:23] 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] oops I notice it says chown: missing operand after tomjones [21:23] oh [21:23] tdjones: what folder are you chowning? [21:23] I believe I'm supposed to be chowning recup_dir.1 no? [21:24] tdjones: give the exact command you are issuing please [21:24] tdjones: copy and paste what pancakes showed you into the terminal [21:24] tdjones, yes, that's right. [21:24] sudo chown tomjones:tomjones/home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:24] tdjones, there needs to be a space between tomjones:tomjones and /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:25] space... he got it.. [21:25] tdjones: you need a space between the group and the folder [21:25] malik_: so you can log in to CLI but not desktop? [21:25] for the record, to save some strokes you can sudo chown tomjones: ~/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:25] assuming you are logged in as tomjones [21:26] 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] still gotta have that space though :) [21:26] It works in Windows, though. [21:26] sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 yields tomjones@tomjones-Product-Name:~$ [21:26] I'm using the latest LTS. [21:26] 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. [21:27] The printer stoped working after the update. [21:27] malik_: then set a password for your user in root recovery mode (if necessary) [21:27] Is there anyway i can install an earlier version then php5.3 on my system? [21:27] ormris, make cups happy. === stefano is now known as Guest54823 [21:27] malik_, sudo -i [21:27] jagginess: What would you suggest? [21:27] ormris: what make and model printer? [21:27] ormris, cups [21:27] :) [21:27] ActionParsnip, i tried that, but then i can not login. It just says Authentication failure. [21:28] !cups [21:28] 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] ActionParsnip: Canon MP600 [21:28] malik_: in root recovery mode you can do it [21:28] ormris: why did you not add that to the initial question? [21:28] pancakes what next? [21:28] tdjones, verify that ownership changed by using ls again. [21:28] ActionParsnip: I forgot. I apologize. [21:28] pancakes same command? [21:28] ormris: did you grab the driver deb files from the Canon website? [21:28] tdjones, yup. you should see "tomjones tomjones" where you saw "root root". [21:28] ormris: full details in future and its all ok :) [21:29] ActionParsnip: No. I will try that now. [21:29] Gyges, sudo -i in text mode works but not in GUI [21:29] malik_: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [21:29] gksu gksudo [21:29] tdjones, command is: ls -ld /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.1 [21:29] malik_, ? [21:29] Yes, now it says tomjones tomjones [21:29] malik_: you can now run: passwd malik; reboot and be ok. Obviously change malik if it's not your ubuntu username [21:30] there's no lock on the folder anymore. [21:30] ActionParsnip, Gyges: I can do anything at the recovery mode. but when i goto normal mode the password is not acceptd [21:30] 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] 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] I have folder #2. to verity, type sudo chown tomjones:tomjones /home/tomjones/Desktop/recup_dir.2? [21:30] malik_: set a really simple password like: 12345 see if it works there [21:30] 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] then I have installed automatically Ubuntu with Dual boot [21:31] to verify not verity [21:31] tdjones: why not just use: sudo chown -R tomjones:tomjones ~/Desktop [21:31] 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] Krammer, so gparted just doesn;t work, also youre not trying to resize the linux partition, are you? [21:32] 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] malik_: also, do you have more than 10% free space on all partitions [21:32] it worked thank you so much.! [21:32] I want to reduce Linux partition, from 10X Go to 50 Go :) [21:32] 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] Krammer, you might need to boot to livecd to do this [21:32] Ow... [21:33] pancakes how do I do that? [21:33] With the LinuxLiveUSBKey it works ? [21:33] does it have gparted? [21:33] Ctrl-Alt-s was bound to some tracker search tool by default; the shortcut didn't show up in the gnome kbd shortcuts though. [21:34] i uninstalled tracker, but still C-M-s is swallowed and doesn't make it to my Emacs. any suggestions? [21:34] 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] tdjones, if you're absolutely certain that all of the contents in recup_dir.1 [21:34] salve avrei bisogno di una mano [21:34] !it [21:34] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:35] i already deleted recup_dir.1 and 2 [21:35] 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] 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] tdjones, then you're done :) [21:35] thank you so much! [21:35] tdjones, np [21:35] tdjones, permissions in linux can be difficult sometimes [21:35] re: C-M-s above, interesting if i _bind_ it to something in gnome kbd shortcuts, that works. but unbinding it it's still getting eaten. [21:36] Euh, no, and how should install it ? [21:38] I'm fairly new to ubuntu ... need help mounting a newly formatted drive ... I used the program gparted to create a new 1TB ext4 formatted harddrive .. however when I click to navitage into the drive within a file explorer, it says "unable to mount not authorized" ... can someone give me a pointer? [21:38] ActionParsnip, Is there a switch or any advance and more powerful passwd command that can force password token updates on all locations. [21:38] Krammer, any linux distribution in a usb key will do, ( i don't know what linuxliveusbkey is , is it this ? http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ ?) [21:38] Hi all, when i try to install ubuntu I get a quick flash of "upgrade your bios, something something" then it drops to cli? any ideas? [21:41] prodnix: perhaps upgrade your bios? ;) [21:41] :p [21:41] its not that [21:42] probably that "something, something" is more informative [21:43] "SM base address something something" [21:43] its so fast :S [21:43] I'm using psensor to monitor my system temperatures, but for whatever reason I'm seeing far less sensors than previously. Does anyone have experience with system monitoring on Ubuntu? [21:44] prodnix: Might be able to hit the pause/break key to freeze it [21:44] At this point i think I should mention this is a Xen VM with gfx-passthu [21:44] ill try pause it [21:45] if I do sudo fdisk -l to see my disk partitions ... it says that my newly formatted disk "doesn't contian a valid partition table" ... what would this mean? [21:45] thozethingz it isnt formatted in ext4 or so [21:46] how to automate multiple proxy servers in unbunt??? [21:46] nsautomate in what way? [21:46] MonkeyDust .. didn't understand what you meant ... I used gparted to format it with an MSDOS partition table and EXT4 format [21:47] [14.520574] piix4_smbus 0000:00:01.3: SMBus base address uninitialized [21:47] pancakes: hello again [21:47] thozethingz msdos is not a linux thing [21:48] within the gparted program when I went to setup the new disk ... it says it is the default ... what partition table type should I use? [21:48] why won't my wifi card turn on if there's drivers for it? [21:48] thozethingz format it during installation [21:48] linux_is_my_hero: what wifi chip?

[21:50] thozethingz, gpt would be fine [21:50] I will try ... one moment ... thanks [21:50] actionparsnip: there's a firmware bug for my video card, which seems to be working (its a laptop) [21:50] thozethingz, btw you're installing multiple Oses mixed with non-linux? [21:50] actionparsnip: it doesn't even mention any other firmwares [21:51] linux_is_my_hero: cool, ok if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see networks? [21:51] linux_is_my_hero: do you dual boot the system? [21:51] jagginess ... no, freshly installed ubuntu ... using gparted to help me format my disk [21:52] My wifi isn't working [21:52] the disk is a 1TB disk (mirror raid) [21:52] xezexal: details please [21:52] 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] 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] thozethingz, ahem if you do filesystem touches with gparted after setting up linux, you may need to fix grub later.. [21:52] linux_is_my_hero: do you dual boot the laptop? [21:52] ActionParsnip i installed all the drivers and it did work but it is not working now [21:52] actionparsnip: no [21:53] xezexal: what wifi chip? is it a laptop? which release [21:53] It is a netbook === xezexal is now known as SolarAquarion [21:53] actionparsnip: iwlist says both lo and eth1 "interface doesn't support scanning" [21:54] Broadcom STA series?

[21:55] SolarAquarion: what model netbok, there are hundreds... [21:55] So I'm trying to start a game server but when I type out the startup command line and try to run it I get an error "Segmentation fault" even though what I typed was to the letter of a very trusted tutorial. Ideas? [21:56] linux_is_my_hero: do you have a switch on the system to enable / disable wifi?

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? [22:17] You should be able to use the Display application under settings to change the resolution [22:17] or you can also use xrandr to change the resolution from the command line [22:17] mathmoi: or '$ rm ~/.config/monitors.xml' [22:17] mathmoi: if you remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will return xorg back to autodetection rather than hardcoded configuration [22:17] mathmoi: what GPU? does the system have a make and model? [22:17] I'll try xrandr since I'm trying to do this remotely via SSH. [22:18] ikonia: The problem is local to a user, he should need to change anything system wide like that [22:18] sw: I'll try this too. [22:18] pragmaticenigma: oh, the users set it [22:18] mathmoi: if you are using SSH you will need to set the environment display variable or it won't do anything [22:18] ikonia: The system can safely boot without a xorg.conf? [22:18] ikonia: yeah... the xorg file is system wide, but a user can adjust their own custom preference [22:18] mathmoi: sure, but that is a a system wide setting rather than a user based one [22:19] pragmaticenigma: I know what xorg is, I just didn't know the user had modified it [22:19] 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] mathmoi: changing the xorg config would not be the way to solve an individual users settings [22:19] ikonia: The user didn't modify it, they modified their local session setting that is saved seperately [22:20] ikonia: Ok, I'll try to delete the file sw suggested first. [22:20] pragmaticenigma: I know, I understand what a "user modified" setting is and that i's not an xorg change [22:20] actionparsnip: i found it :-) [22:20] pragmaticenigma: as I've just said I didn't know it was a user specific change, [22:20] mathmoi: Deleting the Xorg.conf isn't going solve the issue [22:20] mathmoi: I strongly advise you not to remove the xorg.conf [22:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12063544 Please help me out with this [22:21] anyone feel like helping me? just installed 12.04 and it's not detecting my external monitor.. [22:21] ericus: you're in chat, not on a forum. you can ask your question here :-) [22:21] mathmoi: does the system have a amke and model? What GPU does it use? [22:21] sw: I did that earlier [22:22] ActionParsnip: It's just a user session setting... hardware doesn't matter at this point [22:22] actionparsnip: i found the ethernet card, but the wifi card isn't there [22:22] 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 :-) [22:23] 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] 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] 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 [22:24] mathmoi: there are nvidia configs in home, run: nvidia-settings and you should be able to config the res for the user [22:24] pragmaticenigma: looks like its significant :) [22:24] no [22:24] pragmaticenigma: No, I just want ClearOS to act as firewall/GW for ALL my machines, including the host [22:24] ActionParsnip: He doesn't need that... A single user account is not showing the preferred resolution, all other user accounts are unaffected [22:24] it is NOT an x server problem [22:24] 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] pragmaticenigma: is correct, it's a user based setting [22:24] ericus: You can't [22:25] pragmaticenigma: yes, it is possible [22:25] ericus: it's not [22:25] ericus: as the traffic will come through the ubuntu interface before the virtual machine [22:25] pragmaticenigma: yes because each user has .nvidiarc or somesuch in the root of $HOME [22:25] 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 [22:26] ActionParsnip: I have never heard or seen that file, but he's also trying to solve this via SSH remotely [22:26] ikonia pragmaticenigma have a look at this diagram (second post) http://serverfault.com/questions/380383/virtualized-firewall-under-hyper-v [22:26] replace pfSense with ClearOS [22:26] pragmaticenigma: you can run X based apps due to X forwarding [22:26] ericus: do what you want, [22:27] ericus: it won't work, but go for it [22:27] may as well just get on with it [22:27] ericus: no point asking "how do I do it" if you won't accept it won't work [22:27] 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] ikonia: okay, I'll take your word for it [22:27] ericus: try it [22:28] pragmaticenigma: did you run: export DISPLAY=0.0 [22:28] ikonia: no, you said it woulnd't work [22:28] good [22:28] Strange thing though [22:28] 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] for me that will direct the display to the local machine which I do not have physical access to [22:28] from internals to externals [22:29] fishbait: just copy the data you want to the external disk [22:29] fishbait: wow 80Gb for /, that's a lot [22:29] If I go to whatismyip.com from the host, it shows the IP from ClearOS [22:29] but [22:29] ericus: why are you going on about this, you just said you understood it wouldn't work [22:29] ericus: That configuration is using VLAN, which I highly doubt you have the ability to use on your local network [22:29] if I SSH to that IP, no reply [22:29] ericus: if you disagree, get on with doing it [22:29] the other IP works though [22:30] ikonia: i dont disagree! [22:30] can i copy the whole os? [22:30] i have no intent to be rude [22:30] ericus: then why are you going on about it === Myr|Away is now known as Myr [22:30] fishbait: if you boot to liveCD/USb, sure [22:31] Should I maybe go for shorewall instead? [22:31] ericus: the firewall doesn't matter [22:31] and install that on ubuntu [22:31] ericus: the concept of what you want to do is flawed [22:31] 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] sw, your solution worked. [22:31] ikonia: shorewall is not a distro [22:31] ericus: I know [22:31] Thanks for your help guys. [22:32] ericus: that's why I said "the firewall doesn't matteR" [22:32] ... 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] mathmoi: nice you setup ssh to help out :) [22:32] fishbait: the kernel update will always keep kernel+1 so you can always boot from the previous kernel [22:32] I just need to have a server for my LAN [22:32] will it show in the boot menu? [22:32] ericus: you've got one....your ubuntu machine [22:32] And ClearOS does the job [22:32] fishbait: yes [22:33] fishbait your isp has been having problems I see [22:33] ericus: then why are you running ubuntu if you want to use clearos [22:33] okay ty new query [22:33] ActionParsnip: Yep, I solved a problem more than once, buy sshing into her machine. [22:33] you will probably disconnect in any moment fishbait [22:33] ikonia: because clearos isn't a destop OS [22:33] I have one of my uncle machine settuped the same way too. [22:33] desktop* [22:33] creamfiller: no i have an r8168 realtek onboard nic pita [22:33] ericus: why don't you just run the server functionality you want on your ubuntu desktop ? === djiefo is now known as msirategev [22:34] mathmoi: you can mount the SSHFS too and backup their user data for them if you want too :) [22:34] ikonia: I'm doing that, besides that the host is not behind ClearOS [22:34] ericus: of course it's not, clearos is a vm on the host, === Mike1_ is now known as Mike1 [22:34] What good GUI tools are there for IPtables? [22:35] ericus: "ubuntu firewall" [22:35] ericus: gufw [22:35] ericus and ikonia : this is a support group for Ubuntu, please take your !offtopic someplace else. Thank you [22:35] Sorry pragmaticenigma [22:35] !iptables [22:35] 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] ... cream you should know i'm proxied by freenode nad have a firewall [22:35] 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 !@! [22:36] zax1: Are you able to identify the WiFi card? [22:36] zax1: or do you know what WiFi acrd is installed on your machine? [22:36] are you there fishbait? [22:36] yeah its a broadcom 4311 [22:36] yep [22:36] fishbait no cockiness [22:36] pragmaticenigma: there is nothing offtopic about this discussion [22:36] shson how is your internet connection? [22:37] ericus: your questions are fine for #ubuntu [22:37] chson how is your internet connection? [22:37] creamfiller: i only saw a bunch of pings [22:37] anyone have a successful ident tutorial bookmarked? i've tried 2 with no dice. [22:37] zax1: Broadcom requires a proprietary driver to be installed, [22:37] zax1: what wifi chip is it? [22:37] fishbait those were to determine if you were still there or not [22:37] !broadcom [22:37] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [22:37] okay ikonia [22:37] ActionParsnip: yes i know i went through this document [22:38] i am on edubuntu if that makes any diference ? [22:38] zax1: did you install the packages named? [22:38] 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] zax1: its just different default packages, the underlying OS is identical [22:38] problem is that ClearOS does not work very well in hyper-v [22:38] what happened to fishbait? [22:38] tried this: https://vornoff.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/ident-daemon-for-debian-and-ubuntu-linux-ident2/ [22:38] fail [22:38] Creamfiller: can you stop questioning fishbait and his connection stability please. [22:39] ActionParsnip: i did apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and pt-get install firmware-b43-installer [22:39] ikonia fishbait isn't connected now [22:39] that is why I questioned him [22:39] his isp has been having problems [22:39] Creamfiller: yes he is, and it doesn't matter if he is or isn't [22:39] zax1: cool, then it will work provided you enabled the install CD as a software source [22:40] i ran aptget update first - i thouht that points it to the net [22:40] zax1: by default yes, do you have a web connection? [22:40] yes through the ethernet [22:40] zax1: great, makes life a tonne easier. get fully updated first. Helps a lot [22:41] 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 [22:42] can=cant [22:42] I installed Mupen64plus development package off the software center and can't find it, where did it go? [22:42] zax1 you are next! [22:43] next 4...? [22:43] you will see [22:43] zax1, after installing firmware, did you reboot? [22:43] ? [22:43] Creamfiller: That's not very nice [22:43] Guy-who-needs-he: I don't see that package in the repos [22:43] OerHeks: i did [22:43] zax1: then run: sudo apt-get insyall b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source [22:43] what is not nice pragmaticenigma? [22:43] zax1: should be ok after a reboot [22:43] ActionParsnip: i ran that as well [22:44] ikonia, it's there and i downloaded it its "Mupen64plus development package" [22:44] Guy-who-needs-he: libmupen64plus-dev that one ? [22:44] 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/* [22:45] ikonia, no its exactley "Mupen64plus development package" [22:45] Guy-who-needs-he: that is not he package name, that's the package description [22:45] anyone have a successful ident tutorial bookmarked? i've tried 2 with no dice. [22:46] zax1 mexican packets are on their way [22:46] ikonia, i cheked again thats it [22:46] ikonia, where did it go? [22:47] Guy-who-needs-he: what do you mean where did it go ? what are you expecting [22:47] Guy-who-needs-he: it's a set of development libraries that are dumped into /usr/lib [22:47] ikonia, where do i find it on my comp? [22:47] 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] ikonia, where is that? [22:47] Guy-who-needs-he: /usr/lib [22:47] that is the location for the libraries [22:47] ikonia, in my home? [22:48] Guy-who-needs-he: no, in /usr/lib [22:48] your home is /home [22:48] ActionParsnip: sorry for delay [22:48] http://pastie.org/4174015 [22:48] zax1: did you try the additional drivers app? [22:48] ikonia, Sorry but how do i find that? [22:49] additional drivers app ? no [22:49] Guy-who-needs-he: you look in the /usr/lib directory, the lib directory in /usr [22:49] ikonia, Where in the dash or where do i search that? [22:50] Guy-who-needs-he: ????? open a file manager, go to /usr, then go to lib in that directory [22:50] from software centre - (jockey-gtk) ? [22:51] actually it says its installed [22:52] ikonia, How do i run it? [22:52] Guy-who-needs-he: you don't, it's a software library [22:53] 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: thats the prog i run from system settings-->hardware [22:53] ikonia, I don't get it mupen 64 is a n64 emulator [22:53] ikonia, did i get the wrong thing? [22:53] OerHeks: disable - or disconnected ? [22:53] Guy-who-needs-he: yes, and you've just installed the development libraries (libraries for developing software) [22:54] ikonia: get your palm off your face :-) [22:54] OerHeks: your laptop bios may have the wifi-lan switch that it disable your wifi in the presence of lan....i checked that option in my bios to disabled, and tried that already. :| [22:54] ikonia, Do you know where to get the real thing? [22:55] Guy-who-needs-he: look at the package mupen64plus [22:55] worth another try though. be right back [22:55] worth another try though. be right back [22:55] ikonia, Where do i find it i have been searching [22:56] Guy-who-needs-he: just type "sudo apt-get install mupen64plus" [22:56] ikonia Oh thanks [22:58] ikonia, How do i run it now? [22:58] it should either be a menu option or you run it by typing the application name [22:59] Guy-who-needs-he: search dash [23:00] Can anybody help me with a little problem that could be big? [23:00] back - OerHeks that did not make a difference === zax1_ is now known as zax1 [23:00] ActionParsnip: does my output in pastie reveal any truthes [23:01] ActionParsnip> that doesn't do anything [23:01] zax1: can you paste the url of the paste in the channel [23:01] http://pastie.org/4174015 [23:01] sorry .... i thought i di that :| [23:02] ActionParsnip> mupen64plus [23:02] ActionParsnip>sorry didn't mean to put that here [23:03] anyone have a successful ident tutorial bookmarked? i've tried 2 with no dice. [23:03] ActionParsnip> Do you know how to run it? [23:03] ActionParsnip: Hi. I'm back. I installed the drivers from the Cannon website. They don't work. When I press print, cups says that the printing was completed and the printer does nothing. [23:03] name_: "ident tutorial"? [23:03] ActionParsnip: i just noticed this here : ---> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist b43 [23:03] is that a problem [23:03] ? [23:03] zax1: maybe you are holding the driver back with the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf file, you could try commenting out one of the lines in it and rebooting to testy [23:03] tried this: https://vornoff.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/ident-daemon-for-debian-and-ubuntu-linux-ident2/ [23:04] fail [23:04] Guy-who-needs-he: could run it from terminal [23:04] name_: is your router blocking port 113? [23:04] most routers do [23:04] action is this done do i just open the file in a notepad app ? === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [23:04] zax1: if thats the driver module it uses then comment it out to allow the kernel to load it [23:04] ActionParsnip> where do i put the rom to run the game? [23:04] Guy-who-needs-he: it will launch a GUI afaik [23:05] ActionParsnip> So anywhere? [23:05] Guy-who-needs-he: i think the GUI has a config for the rom files [23:06] ActionParsnip> so where would i put it? [23:07] TheLordOfTime: thanks. the intent is to anonymise my cable provider in irc. am i on the right track? [23:07] that open read only how do i get to save stuff in the blacklist file ? [23:07] name_: nope [23:07] name_: far from it actually, you need either tor or a cloak [23:08] and even with a cloak, you still arent 100% anonymous [23:09] ActionParsnip> do i put the directory in the .cfg for mupen? [23:09] TheLordOfTime: tanks [23:09] Guys, please how much does Linux Sys Admin 1 Certification cost? [23:10] name_: if you /whois me, you'll see something like this on the first line* [TheLordOfTime] (LordOfTime@trekweb/administrator/ubuntu.lordoftime): The Lord of Time [23:10] ActionParsnip: is it only the b43 that needs commenting out or the rest of the bc files ? [23:10] name_: where it says "LordOfTime@trekweb/administrator/...", the LordOfTime part at the part before the @ indicates my ident (which is what the ident daemon tells Freenode) [23:10] Guy-who-needs-he: Why not just try it and see what you can do, instead of asking... [23:10] damms005, lot of time, but worth it every minute ! [23:11] zax1: I'd imagine so... [23:11] name_: the trekweb/administrator/... part is my cloak. that hides the IP from the public when youi're identified on freenode's nickserv [23:11] (when you have a cloak) [23:11] because i have been trying and can't figure it out, and can't find a tut online [23:11] name_: mine's affiliated to a group i work with, a basic cloak is unaffiliated/nick [23:11] serv [23:11] BLEH evil keyboard [23:11] OerHeks: I mean the monetary cost [23:11] tanks [23:12] How much do I need to get Linux Sys Admin 1 Certificate? [23:12] hello, i have a partition in my disk, where I cannot write data "/media/Data seems to be mounted read-only" [23:12] it changed suddenly, what can I do ? chmod does not seem to work [23:13] chmod does not affect that message. [23:13] partitions can be mounted read-write or read-only [23:13] they are all for mac, i can't find one that is linux [23:13] The filesystem itself is mounted read-only. [23:13] how can I change it ? [23:14] dbn_user: You have to check why the filesystem is mounted read-only, fix the cause, and mount it read-write. [23:14] try remounting it [23:14] yeah, what bekks said [23:14] unmount /media/Data [23:14] ? [23:14] umount [23:14] damms005: depends on your aims. [23:14] I am new in linux [23:14] dbn_user: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:14] ok [23:15] the only ones were downloaded from other places [23:15] then open a partitions manager and run a check [23:15] 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] W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [23:15] , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [23:15] , E:Some index files failed to download.

[23:17] I unmounted /media/Data and now I cannot remount it .... "not in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [23:17] actionparsnip, it can't read it [23:17] then open a partitions manager and run a check [23:17] @ dbn_user [23:18] GParted ? [23:18] yeah [23:18] dbn_user: Yes, that will do. [23:18] Atron: http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ PPA only supports up to maverick [23:19] Atron: I hope you upgraded to Natty in between getting to Oneiric [23:19] I'm on 11.10 [23:19] it seems to be in dev/sda5 , mount /media/Data something ? [23:19] I've been getting this error for a few months now [23:19] dbn_user: No. [23:19] Since before 12.04 release [23:19] dbn_user: CHECK the filesystem before, using gparted. [23:20] 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] Is there any way to get it to go away? [23:20] Atron: remove the PPA, simple [23:22] Atron a PPA is an "external" software source, not part of the repos, you have to add/delete it yourself [23:22] Ah [23:22] Will do [23:22] softwarecentre > edit > softwaresources [23:22] 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? [23:23] Atron: use the server method in CLI, the output is useful [23:23] Atron: probably caused by the dead PPA [23:23] it is ntfs /dev/sda5 , i cannot remount it ;( [23:24] ActionParsnip: OerHeks that didnt work. thanks for you efforts. if i try kubuntu do they have anyting else under the hood ? [23:24] So I should remove all the ppa software sources? [23:24] zax1: its the same OS, just a different default DE... [23:25] Atron: I'd just disable them, no need to remove [23:25] am i right in thinking that edubuntu is really limited with its gui ? [23:25] zax1: not limited, no [23:25] i tried ubuntu arounf 6.10 - 804 and seem to remember an easier way of getting to the system utilities [23:27] 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] zax1 ^^ [23:27] :( [23:28] hello all [23:28] Brb, rebooting [23:28] who has flashblok plugin or disabled flash plugin? [23:28] the d630 has a wireless switch on its side. its a physical dedicated switch not part of the fn combos [23:28] I use a flashblock plugin with both firefox and chrome [23:28] zax1: in dash you can just search for: driver and the app appears. [23:28] zax1 no light turn on? [23:29] how can I remount it ? [23:30] light doesnt turn on, thats a good point [23:30] zax1: try: sudo rfkill unblock all [23:31] yes thnx ActionParsnip ! [23:31] done [23:31] (dhat am i doing by the way ?) [23:31] NoOova: Please do attempt that again [23:31] do not* [23:31] nothing happened - no output or visible change [23:32] zax1: can you pastebin the output of: cat /etc/lsb-release; sudo lshw -C network Thanks [23:32] where is a room op when you need one [23:32] pragmaticenigma: there are a few around [23:33] pragmaticenigma: or you can call them but only in emergency [23:33] pragmaticenigma: why do you need an op? [23:33] NoOova is up to no good, trying to get people to go to a rouge page [23:34] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/4174191 === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [23:34] pragmaticenigma: then type: !ops | NoOova [23:34] ths [23:34] hey guys do you know any page with tuts about Python? [23:34] !ops | NoOova [23:34] 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] how would one go about adding a second ip address to an interface have no x [23:34] pragmaticenigma: that does it you see ;0 [23:35] TUplink: I know you can make subinterfaces in /etc/network/interfaces [23:35] what was that ? [23:35] TUplink: ip addr .. [23:35] zax1: try: sudo modprobe b43 [23:35] Well, that's only temporary. [23:36] let there be light !!!!! [23:36] 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] sadly ActionParsnip , there wasn't any response [23:36] zax1: and if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [23:36] pragmaticenigma: there was no evidence either [23:36] pragmaticenigma: you can tell folks in #ubuntu-ops if you like... [23:36] thanks [23:37] pragmaticenigma: that too (thanks IdleOne ) [23:37] yeah [23:37] I googles my problem with the release upgrade tool aborting and found this: [23:37] 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] pragmaticenigma: if it's indiscriminate, dumb spam, Freenode staff might take action [23:38] Would that work, and how would I do it? [23:38] the moment i ran the podprobe the wifi section sprang to life [23:38] brilliant [23:38] The issue is that NoOova pm'd me the message [23:38] thank you very much [23:38] I don't wish to put it out in the open forum [23:38] zax1 have fun [23:38] though you might regret it as i may come back for more [23:39] zax1: you need to unblacklist that driver module [23:39] just for my education(it is an edubuntu after all) can you explain what was the issue ? [23:39] zax1: you could even run: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null if you want [23:39] how do i add a network on weechat? [23:39] specifically ECnet? [23:40] 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] (btw, no one is responding in #weechat channel) [23:41] what does the tee - a etc\module command do ? [23:41] is that entering it in to a white list ? [23:43] zax1: adds the text to the file [23:43] 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] zax1: the /etc/modules file is a list of modules to load [23:43] zax1: I'd still remove the module name from the blacklist file, just to be sure then reboot to test [23:43] and that would take precidense if the os will decide to blacklist this again ? [23:44] remove from etc\modprob.d\blacklist ? [23:44] zax1: it won't re-blacklist it [23:44] zax1: just add a hash to the start of the line and it will be ignored [23:45] see i did that before. and it didnt come back to life till that last comamnd you gave me [23:45] looking for it now ... [23:45] yeah the b43 is hashed out [23:47] though... its refrenced in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf [23:47] as well [23:49] how do you use a sudo command when logged in as a secondary account? [23:49] and /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf [23:49] zax1: then comment that out too [23:51] yeah going through tose now. [23:51] zax1: can you see where the issue stems from now :) === cham is now known as amar [23:51] for such a usefull file its very unpopular..... [23:51] yeah [23:51] right, reboot to test - thanks for the help guys [23:51] (or gals) [23:52] zax1: sometimes you need to blacklist modules so that the system uses others instead and thats what those files are for [23:52] ActionParsnip: Ya just missed him [23:52] (or her) [23:53] hello , before ive install ubuntu ive made a partition in the installation interface , and now the disk is full , how can i edit the partion and increase the disksize ? tru [23:54] pragmaticenigma: oh well :) [23:54] tried gparted did understand it [23:54] brilliant on first time!!
