[00:06] lol yes Elmer1 [00:06] any help would be awesome [00:06] hs_, the partition needs to be unmounted, easy way to be sure is to use the live cd [00:06] Ok now I am a brand new beginner with IRC [00:07] ah.. ok , i though i can manage it while using it. [00:07] ferris-, upgrading myself now, did you reinstall proprietary drivers? just taking a guess there [00:07] Have you set up the displays properly ferris? [00:07] thanks [00:07] yes [00:08] I am going to load xubuntu. I am wanting to add a video recorder card. I am looking for and older tv card that will do a good job of recording my VHS home movies. [00:08] but the second monitor was lost prior to installing nvidia [00:08] what is the dpkg command? [00:08] and does unity use xorg or x11? [00:09] Is there advice on cards as in model number that would fit into apci slot? [00:09] nvidia xseerver doesn't see the second monitor [00:09] hi. is their a cpu gpu GUI for sensing how much heat their is on those processors? [00:09] That would be able to do an effective transfer to digital? [00:09] !hardware | Elmer1 [00:09] Elmer1: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:10] yes the hardware [00:10] elmer1, ubotto is a robot automated response? FYI [00:10] ! [00:11] Good to know. [00:12] I was looking for personal opinions. I figure that anything as far as hardware that works on Ubuntu would work on xubuntu. [00:12] dkpg [00:12] dpkg! [00:12] hmmn... [00:13] how can i reconfigure the nvidia graphics driver? [00:13] ferris... you have to install the propriatary nvidia driver [00:13] pragmaticenigma: Thats not true. [00:13] i have installed it by using the additional drivers.... [00:14] bekks: He asked how to reconfigure the nvidia graphics driver [00:14] apt-cache search nvidia shows a bunch of nvidia drivers. [00:14] and nvidia is only seeing one screen [00:14] how can i force it to restart and see the second screen? [00:14] ferris-: you should be able to find the configuration under system in the application menu [00:14] or to see the second screen [00:14] ferris-: You have to run nvidia-settings and configure it. [00:15] thanks bekks [00:15] ferris-: You may need to run the following command from terminal: gksudo nvidia-settings [00:16] in the settings it doesn't show two and i am not sure how to force it to see [00:17] have you checked the cables for both monitors and make sure they are connected and both are powered on? [00:17] yes [00:17] how do i access LM sensors [00:17] !sensors | WeThePeople [00:17] WeThePeople: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [00:18] it shows up when booting but when ubuntu desktop shows up...; i loose the other desktop [00:18] Ey guys, I was compiling a kernel and I got this errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066935/ [00:18] ok, I learned the hard way to not dual boot unless you have two hard disks, should I use supergrub2disk or rescatux? [00:18] !kernel | Jacruth may help [00:18] Jacruth may help: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [00:19] during the boot process.... post screen, ubuntu flash screen, i see dual monitor... but at the login screen i lose the second [00:19] ActionParsnip, do I need to recompile all the things again? [00:19] actionparsnip, they are installed [00:19] how to access [00:20] Jacruth, looks like a permissions problem. [00:20] and when running detect displays... it shows up as "laptop" [00:20] Jacruth: no idea, not compiled a kernel outside of gentoo tbh [00:20] din, it seems [00:20] try the same command with sudo. [00:20] but, will it recompile all again? [00:20] what is the file that i edit to bring in the correct display? [00:20] it should be compiled already [00:20] WeThePeople: there is a cli interface as well as a panel applet you can add [00:20] it is a waste of time to recompile it again [00:20] Jacruth, it should see everything you've already built and skip to the uncompiled parts. [00:21] * Jacruth sighs [00:21] xorg? [00:21] thansk din [00:21] what is the file that contains all video card settings? [00:21] I think I will try rescatux to fix my windows xp sp3 crashing in grub... [00:22] Hello all, anyone familiar with Ubuntu One around? [00:22] ferris-, usually is no good idea to mess with that, whats your video card problem? [00:22] how do you restore a window after you have minimized it [00:23] like firefox [00:23] alt tab is not working for me [00:23] i lose the second monitor blackgatonegro [00:23] after boot [00:23] I'm trying to sync between my Ubuntu One install on my Win7 machine, Android phone and Ubuntu laptop, the Android app is giving me some headaches, whenever I go into the "ubuntu one" folder it gives me: Error: Could not get volume - resource not found [00:23] Any ideas? [00:23] ferris-: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:23] blackgatonegro, i installed the proprietary drivers. now i have found that the settings shows "unkown" for driver [00:24] thank zykotick9 [00:24] it also doesn't appear to be syncing to my laptop [00:24] :\ [00:25] anyone knows how to restore a minimized window like firefox [00:25] is xorg.conf availble at ubuntu today? [00:25] Riddla: not actually an ubuntu issue. I suggest you ask in #ubuntuone [00:25] makk: sure is [00:25] Ah, thanks [00:25] :) [00:26] makk: by default the file doesn't exist but if one is made it will be obeyed === c0deMaster is now known as Guest63678 [00:26] ok [00:26] how do i reconfigure xorg.... [00:26] i thought it was dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf? [00:26] ferris-, mmm, you plan to use the pc for gaming? [00:27] maximizing a minimized window how is this accomplished with a browser like firefox [00:27] jnb: in what desktop? [00:27] no but to force it to bring up the second monitor and to have the 3d effects [00:27] unity [00:27] @action what do you mean [00:28] @action ubuntu desktop [00:28] ferris-, because otherwise the generic drivers ubuntu has work fine, just don't expect opengl acceleration. [00:28] ferris-: hover your mouse in the top left corner and the close, min, max buttons appear [00:28] in a normal desktop like gnome kde lxde you have buttons to minimize windows [00:28] ferris-: technically unity is a shell, its still the gnome desktop ;) [00:28] ferris-, then you need the propietary drivers. You know what video card you have? [00:28] @action min and max isn't there [00:29] Jacruth, did that work out for you? [00:29] I installed gnone 3 and enabled that shell to show all and still nothing [00:29] nvidia [00:29] @action should I reboot the machine [00:29] din, still running it, it is in stage 2 yet [00:29] at least, it seems it doesn't have to recompile all [00:29] blackgatonegro, the weird thing is that i have installed them but it is showing unkown when i go to sign in and check the driver there [00:30] jnb maybe your theme have window borders without min max buttons [00:30] i have the standard theme i just switched the wall paper [00:30] i think i might need to remove and then reinstall [00:30] what theme should i use [00:30] stardart theme is ok [00:31] there are normaly buttons [00:32] @makk i searched for stardart and nothing [00:32] @makk how do I install or enable stardart [00:32] blackgatonegro, after removing nvidia* and reinstalling with -f i found that i have more options... [00:32] i am restarting and we will let you know [00:32] @jnb u istalled a standart ubuntu? [00:33] nope... lost the second monitor [00:33] at the sign in screen [00:33] unbuntu 12.04 is what I installed. I ran the executable which installed with windows 7 [00:33] Has anyone here tested this Ubuntu-Builder guy? [00:34] jnb: Windows 7 does not install any executable to install Ubuntu. [00:34] @bekks read my comment [00:34] I never said win7 has an installer [00:35] umbuntu has the installer to run an executable install of unbuntu [00:35] o.O [00:35] on any version of windows. === VGoff is now known as VGoff_afk [00:36] how do I enable min and max windows for unbuntu [00:37] @jnb so you installed ubuntu and reboot into your new ubuntu system? in a normal ubuntu installation there are min max buttons stadart avalebale athe the left side of the windows [00:38] yes, version 12.04 has an executable that can be download into windows. you run it as if your installing an app you uninstall it the same way. [00:39] i read where you can enable the min and max windows with the gnome 3. which i downloaded and installed and set up the shell permissions [00:40] do I need to reboot the machine for it to take affect. I enabled show my computer on desktop and network servers and that was enabled without a reboot [00:41] actionparsnip, what is the panel app called? i could not find it? [00:41] jnb changes should take immediate effect. [00:41] Does anyone have any experience with X forwarding and getting sound to work as well? [00:42] it should but for the min and max button nothing [00:42] jnb what did you download and install? dconf can handle minmaxclose [00:42] i hovered my mouse on the upper left hand corner and right of the task bar and nothing [00:42] never used dconf [00:43] Ey guys, I have compiled my kernel, I have the debs and I did "dpkg -i *.deb"... [00:43] now, how can I use that kernel? [00:43] hmmn... i am still not seeing the second screen even after installing current.... [00:43] I compiled the 3.5.0 and I'm still using 3.2.0 [00:44] what are the keyboard shortcuts to minimize and maximize windows [00:44] <_Brun0_> I'm getting an error when trying to start a python webserver on port 80 on Ubuntu 12.04 server 64bits: "socket.error: No socket could be created". Is it a firewall issue or something? [00:44] jnb, I think it is super + control + d [00:44] but boot, post, even the ubuntu splash is showing up.... but as soon as the os gets me to the login... the second screen disappears [00:44] which key is super [00:44] Jacruth: There is no 3.5.0 until now. There is a release candidate only. [00:44] the windows key, jnb [00:44] <_Brun0_> jnb, super is the windows key normaly [00:45] bekks, anyways, how can I choose to use any other kernel? [00:45] I have not grubs. [00:45] Jacruth: Without grub? How did you install ubuntu then? [00:45] @_Brun0_ its sound like a permission error to create a socked or the socked is still in use [00:46] Jacruth, you choose the kernel @ grubmenu, but 3.5 will give unsolvable errors. just the kernel is not enough. [00:46] I just did dpkg -i *.deb after compilin them. [00:46] that didnt work [00:46] okay, I need grub then... [00:46] <_Brun0_> makk, I did netstat -ln | grep 80... but there seems nothing using it. [00:46] just "apt-get install grub2"? [00:46] Jacruth: Ubuntu installed grub(2) by default. [00:46] Why did you remove it? [00:47] I didn't, but I don't see it at the startin thing [00:47] @_Brun0_ try to stard it as root too? [00:47] I don't see it after the bios loading [00:47] Jacruth: That doesnt mean there is no grub. [00:47] perhaps Ubuntu did not install it because I don't use windows or so [00:47] wtb windows 7 serial numbers [00:48] Jacruth: It did install grub. [00:48] Jacruth: The menu is hidden, and the choice timeout is set to 0. [00:48] well, grub binaries seem to exist in my laptop [00:48] aaaaaah [00:48] how can i recreate a new xorg.conf file? [00:48] okay, eh... [00:48] Jacruth: Both can be changed in /etc/default/grub [00:48] khmerog that is offtopic here [00:49] <_Brun0_> makk, this link says it's permission problem where normal user can't host on port 80: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8115330/why-wont-web-py-let-me-run-a-server-on-port-80 [00:49] <_Brun0_> makk, do you know how can I let normal user open port 80 in ubuntu? [00:49] _Brun0_, you shouldn't. [00:49] no dont know [00:49] _Brun0_: There is NO way to open up a port < 1024 as a normal user. [00:50] are you sure there is not any unsafe way? [00:50] i woud create a new user for wbserver and put it in the right group [00:50] Jacruth: Yes. [00:50] <_Brun0_> Jacruth, why? I need to host as port 80 because it's on amazon EC2. How can I point my domain to the server? AFAIK (and i know little) you can't do port redirect from domain names. [00:51] _Brun0_: There is no way to run something on port 80 except you are root. [00:51] a save way to run a webserver, is to run it in a chroot [00:51] <_Brun0_> ok guys I accept there is no way to do it. But how the average joe does then? [00:51] _Brun0_: Ports < 1024 are considered to be "priviledged ports" which are to be used root inly. [00:52] Does linux use software to do banking do set up a checking account:) See I want to make my own bank on my system that I know what going in and going out and it will be alot secure [00:52] you can chroot /var/... and start your webserver in this directory with root [00:52] <_Brun0_> ok thnx i'll read on that! [00:53] <[dlp]> Hello people/ [00:53] hi dlp === Jacob_ is now known as Guest81730 [00:53] Am so alone:) [00:54] chroot comand is not easy to understand and also not easy to set up a server and user up with that [00:54] <[dlp]> Does anyone ever think about time? [00:55] <[dlp]> Well, I've been thinking about it a lot for the past half day or so. [00:55] [dlp], uptime? [00:55] <[dlp]> No. [00:56] <[dlp]> More rate limiting of data into codecs/out of codecs and into buffers.

The drive automatically mounts on each boot but the data isn't accessible until i click on the drive? What's with that? Can i just manually mount the drive and kill this half auto mount? [01:00] <[dlp]> OerHeks: And it only ended because nobody paid the electricity bill :D [01:00] ferris-: The auto logout? [01:01] guys, lets say I have compiled the kernel 3.4.4. Where are located the .deb files? [01:02] Anyone familiar with setting up X forwarding and also getting sound working? [01:02] Grant_P, ... no when the system boots I loose the second screen when I use the nvidia graphics driver.... it is not configured for two monitors... that is what I need to do... but I do not know how to do it [01:02] Jacruth: you will need to use checkinstall to make the deb file [01:02] <[dlp]> Jacruth: That's a good start: is there a PPA with very up-to-date kernels? [01:02] I don't think so, [dlp] [01:03] ferris-: ahhh ok, i was experiencing known issue with nvidia driver, which causes periodic crash of x. Super frustrating, had to roll back driver. [01:03] installing checkinstall [01:03] hmm I just upgraded to 12.04 and its like all my windows are stuck to the left side [01:03] I can't seem to move any [01:03] <[dlp]> Jacruth: Unfortunate. But never mind. [01:03] Jacruth: the debs will be one directory up (don't use checkinstall) (assuming you used make-kpkg or the ubuntu build method) [01:03] Jacruth: there is a PPA with the 3.4 kernel if you want it [01:03] anyone know how to add a monitor to xorg? [01:03] could someone please assist me with running eac under wine it keeps giving me the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066962/ [01:03] ubuntu build method? [01:04] Is there? :-O [01:04] shaneo: did you check the appdb for compatibility? [01:04] ActionParsnip, do you have the link? [01:04] Jacruth: yes but if you use the kernel you will reduce support [01:04] I know, but I can resort the kernel, right? [01:04] Jacruth: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=kernel+ppa ...too hard? [01:04] ActionParsnip, yes it says theres some fiddling to be done to get the cd drive to work other than that gold ratings all arouund [01:04] *around [01:05] shaneo: i'd ask in #winehq [01:05] Jacruth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (everything before the Old Fashioned Debian Way section) [01:05] ok ActionParsnip thanks [01:05] When I set up ubuntu one, if I change the directory structure of say the documents folder, will ubuntu one keep multiple copies in each location, or will it know to remove the old copy?

[02:36] live usb is working [02:37] i dont know if you guys been through the same thing === xerxes is now known as sven999 [02:37] please check my pastebin [02:37] how do i set my printer in ubuntu to print in reverse order so things come out as a stack that doesnt have to be rearranged? [02:38] but, im currently up in 433134 ivs from my own router with WEP encryption (just doing this for research) but the strange thing is.. that aircrack-ng is not decrypting the key [02:38] from what i read, and googled it shouldnt be a problem if you managed to get around 10000 - 25000 ivs lol [02:38] does anyone know what the cause of this might be? [02:39] sven999: you should work for the cia ;-) [02:39] hey how to make my ubuntu to use my created casper-rw [02:39] linux_is_my_hero: ^^ right, im only doing this for resarch to get some more understanding about it [02:40] but seriously i dont get it why it doesnt decrypt my key almost 500000 ivs now... wtf [02:41] does anyone know the cause of this or does anyone have another solution instead of aircrack-ng /filename.cap ? [02:41] bazhang : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/ [02:41] filename.ivs * [02:41] Does aircrack even work? [02:41] Beaver: aircrack does work, im using it from a Backtrack 5 R2 Live CD [02:42] so it's not a problem in compilation or anything like that... [02:42] sven999, this is not BT support channel [02:42] Ah ok. I was fiddling around with it on Ubuntu and its not supported any longer [02:42] sven999, #backtrack-linux NOT HERE [02:42] help me out guys [02:42] bazhang: yes i know that but im just asking if anyone been through the same scenario as i explained a couple of rows above [02:43] sven999, its offtopic and not supported here, stop asking. [02:43] They are very picky sven [02:43] There is a channel for it though, you may have more luck there. [02:43] o man! [02:44] Beaver: yeah bazhang told me to join backtrack-linux but i dont have time to register only for this silly question.. [02:44] installed XFCE [02:44] sooooooo much better [02:44] I'm new here and taking Ubuntu for a test drive. Any good resource managers out there I should be aware of? === xerxes is now known as sven999 [02:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/ [02:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/ [02:53] mesees: its a good choice if you like the gnome2 smell [02:53] hello [02:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/ [02:53] ActionParsnip, i havent played with linux in a couple of years and this is just what i remember [02:54] kav: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB? [02:54] unity (or whatever the ubuntu default is) was sloooooow [02:54] !notunity | mesees [02:54] mesees: 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? See !classic [02:54] i have one domain registered, and i want use own dns and mail server, should i use ip public self? [02:54] i have done MD5 test , it work very fine on it [02:55] i'm chatting from my live usb [02:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1066379/ MD5 test done , it work fine , please read the paste test [02:56] om mo tanya, saya punya domain...saya pengin gunakan name server dan email server sendiri, apa saya harus pakai/punya ip public sendiri, atau bisa pakai ip privat dibelakang firewall nat...? [02:56] kav: i read it [02:56] !helpme | kav_ [02:56] kav_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [02:56] blackshirt, english please [02:56] ubottu, gotcha, thanks! [02:57] blackshirt: dnsmasq will give a nice DNS and DHCP server [02:57] sorry, wrong channell [02:57] If I download netbeans will I be able to decompile jars? [02:57] When I look at Display option it says I'm using Laptop even though I'm using an Acer Monitor with DVI input http://postimage.org/image/bigdj3il7/ is this the same for everybody or just me? [02:57] O ! [02:57] qctionparsnip, but thank you [02:58] ActionParsnip, why not Google? [02:58] ActionParsnip, they have a mighty fine dns aswell [02:58] altan: local DNS is faster [02:59] ActionParsnip, I suppose. [02:59] altan: I always install dnsmasq on systems to cache DNS and set the primary dns to 127.0.0.1 [02:59] kav_: this is a #linux question.. http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/02/06/howto-mount-usb-persistent-casper-rw-file-in-linux/ [02:59] kav_, use unetbootin to use the left space for storage [02:59] !help me [02:59] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [02:59] n1ckn4me09876543, it was for me... but it was because the driver was screwed up [02:59] hmm.is that the default on 12.04? ive not noticed its dns setup [03:00] n1ckn4me09876543, which graphic card are you using? [03:00] dr_willis: no idea, I always do it though. Dead handy [03:00] since dnsmasq is installed by default. itwould seem a decent default setting [03:01] ferris: whoa... screwed up? what do you mean how did you fix it, I'm using nVidia set to default in the Additional Drivers program. I have version 295.4 [03:02] ferris: but yea it dont seem to be much of a "big" deal I'm just really wondering why it says laptop instead of monitor, that's all [03:03] Hi. Does anyone here have some knowledge on UEC. Every node I add gets stuck in the "commissioning" state. [03:03] ferris: nvidia x server settings says I'm using Acer monitor but ubuntu's Display says I'm using laptop [03:04] Any help would be super-awesome. [03:04] the 'display' tool dosent work properly with the Nvidia drivers. you should be using the nvidia-settings tool === WCCHANDLER is now known as wcchandler [03:06] dr_willis: yep thnx for pointing that out [03:06] Hi all. I'm looking for a piece of software that's similar to the Unity Launcher. (something that can launch software, or do a web search, etc) but something standalone that I can use in another window manager. [03:06] Has anyone seen anything like this? [03:06] delirus: several other docks out that can do stuff. [03:06] !docks [03:06] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [03:07] gnome-do is handy. and not massivly overkill ;) [03:07] delirus, try avant windows navigator (or something like that) [03:07] docky + gnome-do - is an handy combo [03:07] dr_willis: I'm not sure what terms to search for. Can you point me to some? [03:07] ah, thanks [03:07] If you want lighter.. theres alternatives also [03:08] !ingo wbar [03:08] !info wbar [03:08] wbar (source: wbar): light and fast launch bar. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.3+dfsg2-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 27 kB, installed size 132 kB [03:08] Ah... I'm looking for something more like a run dialog. [03:08] Not really icons. [03:09] theres stand alone 'run dialog' toold you can bind to a hotkey for any wm to use. [03:09] use synaptics search feature. :) [03:09] gnome-do uses the alt/super/whatever key then you type what to launch. [03:09] bbl [03:10] OerHeks, hey, I got flash working. [03:11] hi yall [03:11] when the choice is given, which file is easier to download from, a .rpm or a tarball? [03:11] altan, you mean "install" from? === LeeLooKorben is now known as Shojo [03:15] AssociateX, great, i read you used 10.x without hw acceleration [03:17] AssociateX, yeah, I mean install from, sorry [03:19] altan: don't use rpm === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [03:23] h [03:24] e [03:24] j [03:24] !rootirc | root_ [03:24] root_: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [03:24] iuy === RaW is now known as digi-g [03:26] altan, an rpm is probably easier since it's more automated, but learning to install from a tar is not really that hard but has way more flexibility for you in the future. [03:26] AssociateX: that's bad advice === ddee is now known as _dd [03:27] zykotick9, why? [03:27] rpms are potentially dangerous... source sould hopefully go in /opt/ or /usr/local and thus stay isolated from th rest of the os [03:27] AssociateX, never use an rpm. [03:27] a rpm could go anywhere. ;) [03:27] AssociateX, thanks. I was installing jdk 7 [03:27] you can use the source to build a deb also... [03:27] theres definatly NO need to use a rpm for java [03:28] Hi everyone. I'm looking for a way to always have the active program's menu show in global menu, instead of having the programs title bar. Any ideas? [03:28] altan, dont use an RPM for that. [03:28] Hi [03:28] New to linux, how do I run a .py file? [03:28] python foo.py [03:28] does it have to be in a certain directory? [03:28] assuming it is a python script ;) [03:29] totally depends on the script [03:29] if its executable , you should be able to do ./foo.py and run it also [03:29] hm, how do i tell that? If it has #/usr/bin/python ? [03:29] !permissions [03:29] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:29] PortD: open a terminal, and cd to your directory [03:29] chmod +x foo.py [03:30] ls -l foo.py will show 'x' for executable [03:30] bash: cd: /home/Downloads: No such file or directory [03:30] PortD: use the proper path. :) [03:30] Does anyone have any words on the Intel HD4000 video chip? [03:30] Lol, rpms must have gotten even worse since I've last used them 8 years ago. [03:31] dr_willis : wha? [03:31] /home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop [03:31] ah [03:31] is anyone here having trouble with full screen flash with chrome 20? [03:31] AssociateX: not really. its just you dont wan tto use them on a DEB system. ;) [03:31] elshaka: what kinds of problem are you having? [03:32] dr_willis, ah, yeah, thats true of course. [03:32] Package management. is an amazingly complex task once you get past the basics. ;) amazing how well apt and rpm and these other systems work [03:33] n1ckn4me09876543, well fullscreen flash doesn't work and also grooveshark doesn't work (it says error while trying to play any song) [03:33] I have to wonder how these Android Phones do it. ;) need to dig into android/apk files someday and learn [03:34] and it all started to happen after a system update =/ [03:34] just wondering if someone else might be experiencing similar issues [03:34] i'm running 12.04 64bit [03:35] dr_willis: wonder how Android phone do what? [03:35] edwinkcw: handle package management.. seems they do it quite well. but its such a sandboxed enviroment i guess that makes it easier [03:36] dr_willis: I don't think apk does anything about package. There should be no dependency betweeen each apk (apps) [03:38] which makes me wonder how they manage to isolate the apps that way. [03:38] I dont know enough in depth about android. :) === Shojo is now known as Mila [03:39] dr_willis: umm...in fact, Android developer are suggested to do so. If we reli want to communicate to other apps. Developers have to give an intent to the Android and Android OS will handle it for you. [03:40] dr_willis: just like, if you want to share, just tell Anroid OS I want to share, then the OS will give you back all app which can do sharing to you. You then choose one of them to share. [03:40] right - they are sort of wworkionmg on a higher 'layer' of the OS thats more abstracted then how apt/deb/rpm systems would be working on. [03:40] lets get back on topic, please [03:41] I would like to see some way for a user to install apps on their linux box in their own home dirs via apt (or some other package management system) - that would make life easier for me in some ways. ;) [03:42] extracting a .tar.gz to your home dir is just awkward. [03:43] yes, you can do it... [03:43] umm...I think it depends on how you manage your file on Linux [03:43] some ppl like to put into /opt, some like to put into /usr/local [03:43] but in fact, you can put in your home dir [03:44] but what if 2 users want differnt versions of the same app. and they dont come in tar.gz precompiled binaries.. compiling the app for each user is a pain.. [03:44] and if both tried to put things in /opt/ then there could be a conflict === bindi_ is now known as bindi [03:46] I prefer compile separately with different folders [03:53] dr_willis: you'd be breaking the FHS then ;) [03:53] "oh The Huge-Manatee" ;) [03:54] dr_willis: hehe [03:54] dr_willis: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/ fun times [03:55] Just over the years ive noticed how awkward some OS's (linux and others) can be with Installing apps and keeping the users seperate from each other and from the core of apps. [03:56] dr_willis: i guess it makes users feel comfortable [03:56] Then you get the opposite problem where the Admin wants to change Every users default setting/app for some reason. [03:56] dr_willis: plus management is easier I guess [03:57] One of the hardest ideas i have to hammer into these 'new' Ubuntu users at work is that even tho they are the only 'user' its still a multi user OS. [03:59] ive been 'training' and 'tech support' for about a dozen people here at work for people wanting to try Ubuntu or other linux versions. [04:00] is there any way for a Windows OS to access an Ext4 partition, at this point? [04:00] that ext2/3 fs tool i think now can do ext4 also [04:00] !ext2 [04:00] !ext3 [04:00] ext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [04:01] at least I think fs-driver.org now has ext4 support. I found it a bit flakey to use for ext3. so i havent tried it in ages [04:01] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/access-ext4-ext3-or-ext2-partitions-in.html [04:01] i learned to always have windows unmount the extX befor rebooting windows.. [04:01] Microsoft could easily write the driver to read the filesystem, the definitions are all there [04:02] or at least use read Only options to keep your ext* safe.. [04:05] dr_willis, given that software is 3 1/2 years old, I'm not hopeful.... [04:06] gehttp://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/ July 2011, new enough? === Jason__ is now known as DBO [04:07] Geoffrey2: ^ [04:07] ActionParsnip, looking at it now, thanks.... [04:08] Geoffrey2: all i did was: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=access+ext4+in+windows&kp=1 [04:09] Geoffrey2: nothing magical... [04:13] mystical duck voodoo [04:13] some days it seems I'm the only person who can do this. [04:14] Hi [04:14] hi subins2000 [04:15] hey ActionParsnip [04:15] where r u from ? [04:15] warning: iteration imminent [04:15] oh, nevermind [04:16] subins2000: UK, you? [04:16] India [04:16] ActionParsnip: India [04:18] im in indiana... very far from india. ;) [04:19] im in louisiana [04:20] So which application r u using for chatting on #ubuntu [04:21] irssi from work, pidgin at home [04:23] me Empathy [04:25] subins2000, screen + irssi most of the time :) [04:26] casper-rw is a directory not a file [04:26] din: ok [04:26] kav: in Linux folders are technically files ;) [04:26] how to make it a file [04:27] kav@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o loop /media/casper-rw /home/kav/caspermnt/ [04:27] [04:27] How do I find out who owns a process? [04:27] i use this command it gave an error [04:27] casper-rw is a directory not a fil [04:27] *file [04:28] wrapids, ps aux ? [04:29] din: What about group? [04:29] can somebody tell me kav@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o loop /media/casper-rw /home/kav/caspermnt/ [04:29] why this gave me that error [04:29] wrapids: ps -ef | grep name | awk {'print $1'} [04:29] wrapids: change name for the binary name, or part of the name to search for [04:29] yeah [04:30] wrapids, getent group|grep [04:30] I don't understand, it's root.root like I thought it was but it wont access my config unless I 777 it. [04:30] wrapids: ps -ef | grep -i name | awk {'print $1'} grep -i is a bit nicer :) === LofS is now known as LofAFK [04:31] !away > LofAFK [04:31] LofAFK, please see my private message [04:31] wrapids: processes aren't owned by groups.. [04:31] wrapids, are you sure the process isn't spawning a child process and that process is what cannot access your config? [04:32] would the entries under master in ps ax be child processes? [04:32] wrapids, use ps awwfux|less for a logical view [04:32] wrapids: the 2nd PID in the list is the parent pid [04:33] wrapids: or you can use pstree :) [04:33] ActionParsnip, several ways to skin a cat. ;) [04:34] din: lots [04:34] how to use paste image on #ubuntu [04:34] [04:34] wrapids: pstree -A seems to make the text look ok in putty [04:34] kav: use imagebin or imgur etc [04:34] ok [04:35] Okay, last question. How do I change the group/owner of a symlink'd file? [04:35] wrapids: the link itself will always be 777 [04:36] wrapids, chown user:group [04:36] wrapids: if you find out the file linked to using the 'file' command, you can then chmod/chown as you wish [04:36] din: It returns an error when doing that on a symlink [04:36] So does a symlink just redirect to the original file? [04:37] you can use ActionParsnip's suggestion or ls -larth to find the location the symlink points to. [04:37] wrapids: yes, changes to the link affect the linked file [04:37] din: It's a sites-avail/enabled configuration I've got them all tucked away neatly [04:37] Alright, that makes sense [04:38] wrapids: hard links are slightly different and more interesting :) [04:38] ActionParsnip: I'm wanting to keep this as uninteresting as I possibly can until I get nginx running correctly [04:38] yes hard links are in essence the file they are linked to [04:39] din: kinda, you can delete the file you linked to and the file will still be there as there is still a reference to the data [04:40] din: hard links can only be to files on the same disk too as they reference the inode === robot is now known as Guest10772 [04:40] right. i think they also cannot be linked to directories. [04:41] din: erm, yes I think thats right. Not got my lpi book to reference ;) [04:41] heh [04:41] i have read so many man pages they seem to all run together [04:42] I keep getting "cp: cannot stat" in my bash script. Any ideas how to fix this? [04:42] din: read the mencoder man pages? [04:42] what are you copying, from where to where? [04:43] ActionParsnip, yes, in all their lengthy glory. It's like reading a book. [04:43] dr_willis: Files into another directory [04:43] Chad___: you have some non-fileish thing [04:43] din: fairly ridiculous: http://man.cx/mencoder [04:43] din: look at the scroll bar [04:44] ActionParsnip, haha yes. [04:44] Chad___: and what filesystems are they on? [04:44] like i said, a book. [04:44] dr_willis: Ext4 [04:44] mencoder is so versatile though. [04:44] totally [04:45] i used to use it quite regularly. i am now hung up on avconv at the moment. [04:47] Hey guys, can anybody help me with a display problem? [04:48] SilvereX: details please [04:48] So I've just installed 12.04. Fresh install, wiped everything, and now there's about a 1cm gap on the left side of the screen [04:49] I've adjusted my monitor settings, but the screen won't move any farther to the left [04:49] what kind of monitor: [04:49] It's a Samsung TV. Never had any problems when I was using 11.10 [04:49] Also, in the display settings, it says my screen is a laptop screen [04:49] I am using an nvidia graphics card [04:50] tv as a monitor = check the overscan settings in the tv settings, or the video config if using nvidia cards [04:50] My Samsung Hdmi tv. had an option to disable overscan. [04:51] I've tried moving the picture and it won't move to the left any farther [04:51] overscan is not the same as moveing the picture [04:52] I can't find an overscan option [04:53] Can I safely resize a partition on one of the hard drives in this computer to give some of the space to my Linux Mint partition? When I made it, I gave it only 50GB. I want to give it 75GB more. [04:53] on my tv all the pc displays were slightly zoomed in so i could not see abouut 20 pixles around the edges. I either used the nvidia-settings tool and told it to not use overscan. that reduced my res down to just under 1080op , or i found a few days later a setting in the tvs menus to disable overscan totally. [04:53] croz: what kind of partion are you resizzeing/ [04:54] <_Neytiri_> umm i am having a issue with my system not recognising all my sound card inputs [04:54] <_Neytiri_> how can i fix it so my line in appears [04:55] dr_willis: i want to shrink an NTFS partition from 642GB to about 575GB and give the difference to my linux mint partition [04:55] my windows install is on a different hard drive it shows so i dont have to touch that 700 GB [04:55] croz you may need to defrag the ntfs. - windows 7 is faster at resizeing ntfs then gparted is - from my experience [04:56] I'm not using overscan [04:56] Just checked [04:56] dr_willis: the NTFS partition has nothing on it [04:56] _Neytiri_, tried with pavucontrol ? [04:56] so do i still have to defrag? [04:57] also will this cause me issues in that i will have to edit grub or anything like that? [04:57] hey ! how to use my casper-rw file [04:57] Fixed the issue [04:58] i created a file casper-rw using gparted and now i want my ubuntu to use that portion [04:58] can somebody told me how to do that [04:58] Does anyone know why Unity 3D display would suddenly stop working? [04:58] croz: if its totally empty. just delete it.. then resize the other fs [04:58] Now when I try to use it, it's so laggy [04:58] Unusable [04:58] dr_willis: will this require changes to grub or anything afterwards? [04:59] SilvereX, New installation or did you changed the compiz settings? [04:59] croz is that linux partition one you are booting? if so its uuid may change. jot down what its uuid is now.. and you may need to change it back after resizeing [05:00] dr_willis : can you have some gave me time [05:00] I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The gparted is off a live usb. I'm modifying the linux partition to be larger. [05:00] dr_willis : casper-rw is now working as a file [05:01] new installation [05:01] It started 85 days ago [05:01] I could use Unity 3D display normally, then one day it stopped working [05:01] dr_willis : but now i don't know , is that working or not . [05:01] can you tell me , how to tet it [05:01] Same day that the PPA error started [05:01] dr_willis : *test it [05:01] SilvereX, ubuntu 12.04? nvidia / amd any related ppas? [05:02] vrms program is "NOT AUTHENTICATED" http://i.imgur.com/awqQg.png [05:02] Yeah, I'm using 12.04 now, and I have an nvidia card [05:02] 8800GTS [05:02] how can I find out more about this? [05:02] SilvereX, and which ppas pbs? [05:02] What's that? [05:02] kav you just said its working right.. but you want to test it? [05:03] yup ! i want to test it [05:03] Can someone suggest a java decompiler for ubuntu 12.04? [05:03] if your casper-rw is working.. change a setting.. like the wallpaper.. then reboot.. [05:03] see if the change sticks.. [05:03] Also i hope you are ok with some command lines? and what i asked is can you develop on the ppa problem you have [05:03] dr_willis i didnt get what you meant about uuid [05:04] !uuid [05:04] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:04] !ssh [05:04] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [05:04] each filesystem has a unique UUID used by the grub and other tools. it CAN change if you resize the filesystem. but not always. [05:04] Oh the ppa problem was just that there was a red warning sign on the status bar, and when I'd check for updates, it'd say that repositories had failed, and I was told to edit software sources and disable the ppas [05:04] <_Neytiri_> ghostchick2013, no i havnt where can i find that [05:04] !casper-rw [05:05] sudo blackkid? XD [05:05] yay 202534 karma :) [05:05] What does it mean for a package to be "not authenticated"? [05:05] how are packages authenticated? [05:06] Silowyi, you edited the /etc/sources list or not ? [05:06] sunshinehappy: can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update [05:07] As for the unity problem, if you don't have any unity ppa or such , i 'm going to see what might be the problem [05:07] ActionParsnip, having done sudo apt-get update I no longer get the "package cannot be authenticated message"! [05:08] sunshinehappy: oh, is the apt-get update command smooth, no warnings or errors [05:08] yes [05:08] sunshinehappy: coolio :) [05:09] As for the authentication problem it' a question of ppas keys not imported i remember [05:09] ok cool. also is it safe to use gparted live usb to do this even though it's a 32 bit live usb. i cant find a 64 bit gparted. [05:09] yes the package system likes to have the gpg keys [05:09] its not essential though [05:10] croz: gparted is on the ubuntu cd.. why do you need a new CD making? [05:11] Can someone suggest a java decompiler for ubuntu 12.04? [05:11] actionparsnip oh well i didnt know that [05:11] Howcome with 12.04 when I set a window to full-screen, it doesn't hide the launcher? [05:11] the filesystem dosent care if the tool is 32 or 64bit. [05:11] croz, Just pick a x64 ubuntu cd and make a live usb with lili [05:11] i use linuxmint though [05:11] its on there too right [05:11] SilvereX: its a 'feature' [05:12] croz: mint isn't supported here [05:12] In the appearance settings, it gives me the option to have it hide, but then when I'm on the desktop with no windows open, it stays hidden [05:12] ok im gonna try it [05:12] ill be back [05:12] wish me luck! [05:12] SilvereX, are you on unity 2d ? [05:12] Yeah, because 3D won't work [05:13] It's unbearably slow [05:13] ok open a terminal [05:13] It worked fine with 11.10 [05:13] terminal=open [05:13] so upgrade and not new installation? [05:13] New installation [05:13] /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p [05:13] I tried upgrading and it didn't work [05:13] and pastebin it [05:13] SilvereX: try Unity2D, its sweet. All the Unity goodness with no compiz :) === len is now known as Guest96950 [05:14] I'm using 2D atm [05:14] i cant seem to get the desktop wall paper to load when i login [05:14] tss ActionParsnip ; Unity 3d , workspaces and plugins are sweet XD [05:15] SilvereX, pastebin the result of the command i posted [05:15] ghostchick2013: i use one worksace personally [05:15] http://pastebin.com/PERNCbaL [05:15] Oh; i generally use 4 or 6 [05:16] i tend to just fullscreen my apps and alt-tab a lot [05:16] I usually have a good few tabs in guake though :) [05:17] tiling ftw lol, still envious of the tiling in kde though [05:17] anyone here experienced w/ eGalaxTouch? [05:17] i rarely need to tile anything. :) [05:17] i still never got the fucker to work in 12.04 [05:17] SilvereX, ok, i m going to do fixing [05:18] SilvereX, Close all applications apart from your terminal , and open a dock if you have one [05:19] Even irc? [05:19] no ; [05:19] ;) [05:19] type unity --reset in the terminal and hang on; if it bugs just kill the server [05:20] kill the server? [05:20] but normally it should put unity at the default working settings [05:20] go into sytem settings; then keyboard layout or such [05:20] anyone here experienced w/ eGalaxTouch? [05:20] Is /var/log a protected area? Would php's xdebug be able to write a file there? [05:20] :( [05:20] compiz --replace to put compiz setting at default [05:21] ;-) [05:21] that wont reset messed up compiz settings. [05:21] kav: --replace makes compiz the active WM, not default the settings [05:21] O ! [05:21] sorry ! aha ... [05:21] i forget the command to reset compiz.. i always have to look it up at the webupd8 blog site [05:21] kav: --reset maybe, but noot --replace [05:22] SilvereX, as for the keyboad layout thing ; its to put a shortcut to reset the X server [05:22] I've reset unity [05:22] has anyone played fallen earth? It looks sick. [05:22] every time when my comiz is not working , then i use this command and it always work [05:22] Aha ... [05:22] some compiz settings can break unity. [05:22] SilvereX, so you are in the former 2d session with a working unity 3d now? [05:22] kav: I usually get comiz to work by opening terminal and typing "rm -f /" [05:23] I'll check 3D [05:23] Aha ... wao ! [05:23] r00t__, , dont joke with that commands [05:23] r00t_ : nice [05:23] kav: don't do that [05:23] r00t__: don't ever do that again in this channel [05:23] ok ! jrib [05:23] ghostchick2013: I was only kiddin.... [05:24] kav: dont do it or else you will become a hacker [05:24] How'd I get two docks? [05:24] r00t__, i know but some people may take it seriously and bork their system [05:24] I reset unity and a second one appeared [05:24] lol [05:24] normal [05:24] Aha ... what is hacker ? [05:24] !hacker [05:24] A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy [05:24] kav: anonymous [05:24] Did you got out of your session and logged back in?

[05:27] I can fix it by opening screen settings and changing the position [05:27] 1360x768 [05:28] kav: no problem if you want to know IRC better and want to be a hacker type, "/j #koolkidsklub" [05:28] woops [05:28] sorry that was off [05:28] O ! [05:28] hi yall i got a prob trying to install im stuck at (initramfs) unable to find a medium contaning a live file system [05:28] But every now and again it'll flick back to 1024x768 [05:28] Whenever I log out it changes to 1024x768, too [05:28] Triggers now inactive [05:28] I guess it is a problem with the xserver identification of your screen [05:29] im in busy box [05:29] !spam [05:29] oh, and the dock has a pinkish tinge [05:29] Is that normal? [05:29] I will have to pass the hand on that though; xorg configuration is my only pet peeve in linux lol [05:29] the unity left sside panel changes color to match your wallpaper [05:29] Ok I am in live cd now and have gparted open. If I change my partitions am i supposed to change swap also. This laptop has 16GB of RAM. My current SWAP partition is 16GB. is that enough or should it be 32gb? :( [05:29] hey ! i'm the only guy there r00t_ [05:29] which dock ; you mean the sidebar? [05:29] oh cool [05:29] yeah, sidebar [05:30] croz: swap of ram size - is common place these days [05:30] kav: yeah the guys at "#hipstersRUS" just all left...sorry [05:30] kav, r00t__: if you want to discuss things not related to ubuntu support please use #ubuntu-offtopic or use a private message. Thanks. [05:30] croz: or ram size + a little more. [05:30] I' [05:30] you can change it in compiz settings though if i remember [05:30] I've just adjusted xconfig [05:30] I'll see if it helps [05:30] dr_willis: ok i'll leave it at 16gb then for now [05:30] croz: if you dont need hibernate/suspend - then you can get by with less [05:31] yumi sux [05:31] Back [05:31] It seems I've fixed one problem and created another [05:31] effing jealous here of the 16 gb on a laptop; running with 4 here [05:31] It no longer switches to 1024x768 [05:31] >:-) [05:31] Instead it's just off-center [05:31] but? lol [05:31] hey ! can any body know hoe to hack wifi [05:31] dr_willis: do you ever use suspend/hibernate? [05:32] croz: nope. [05:32] Hmm [05:32] i dont really see the need for suspend/hibernate. when i got 30 sec boot times [05:32] is this kav guy joking [05:32] or is he serious [05:32] lol [05:32] i want to hack my neighbor wifi [05:32] and 3+ week uptimes [05:32] It seems to be either the screen is off-center and I must readjust it every time [05:32] dr_willis: thats true my laptop is very fast also [05:32] kav, lol [05:32] Or settle with the screen resolution occasionally changing [05:32] i'm serious croz [05:32] kav: not here, ubuntu support only [05:33] lol kav [05:33] rofl [05:33] my neighbors have open wifi networks. :) [05:33] i really want to hack [05:33] kav: learn some real skills first. [05:33] kav: yeah, just not in here [05:33] well i don t know about xconfig much , but if you are courageous , there is some ways to fix that [05:33] real skill like ? [05:33] kav: go spend a few days learning bash [05:33] learning what 'hack' means first [05:33] kav. rm -rf /* to jailbreak your system so you can install hack software [05:34] ^ [05:34] O ! i know bash [05:34] i dont think you do. [05:34] then try fish or zsh [05:34] what ! o god [05:34] regular expressions are also worth learning. [05:34] are you kidding me [05:35] (everyone should ) [05:35] i can use csh , sh (bash ) [05:35] dr_willis: should i add the extra space to /dev/sdc2 (extended) or to /dev/sdc6 (ext4 - currently 40.44GB while swap is 16GB and is /dev/sdc5) [05:35] kav where are you from? [05:36] kav: you might know a subset of the commands and functionality of bash, i highly doubt you know it all [05:36] croz : India [05:36] kav: go to offtopic we will continue there. [05:36] i figured. i was gonna say Kuwait, India, or Pakistan. [05:36] you add it to the fs you want enlarge croz. you may need to expand the eextended partition first. then extend the logical thats in it.. [05:36] ah ok that makes sense thanks willis! [05:36] O god ! i want to learn hacking not bash [05:36] i tend to always use primaries when i have 4 or less partions on a HD. [05:37] kav: thats like asking to learn 'computers' [05:37] kav shutup already [05:37] bash are simple to use , they are just a little cracker [05:38] I must say, I do love the speed of 12.04 [05:38] willis i shrunk the NTFS partition and i right click the extended and i cant increase the size. [05:38] it shows i have 97.66GB unallocated now after applying [05:38] croz: be sure you are not selecting the logical by mistake [05:38] yup 12.04 gnome3 is specially design for speed [05:38] lol [05:38] anyone here experienced w/ eGalaxTouch? [05:39] and 12.10 is design for good bettery backup [05:39] willis i cant add it to the extended partition or the ext4 [05:39] id call the company but they're in TAIWAN [05:39] no us # [05:39] aeon-ltd, well technically it is gtk 3 [05:39] 12.10 is have better compatibility with hardware [05:39] I really wish the resolution would stop changing [05:39] kav: hablo espanol? [05:40] When it changes, what is displayed on the screen doesn't squash down, it's cut off [05:40] As i said its a question of xserver if any of the guys/girls here is used with fixing it hardcore; well show up [05:40] hey ! r00t_ i don't know French .............................i'm a indian who know a little bit chinese [05:41] kav: kavron, that was spanish [05:41] SilverX : uninstall your graphic card [05:41] O ! sorry [05:41] kav: es espanol....omle du framage [05:41] that is french [05:41] trying to flash my droid X to metroPCS - which channel should i go to ? [05:41] or pa yun ping pong :D [05:41] r00t__: fromage, not framage (cheese) [05:41] dr_willis: http://postimage.org/image/gd6iz1mjl/ there is a screenshot of my gparted [05:41] ActionParsnip: I can't spell in my native language I am not going to spell correctly in french xD [05:42] SilvereX, ah yes free or proprietary drivers? [05:42] r00t__: it's omlette du fromage (cheese omlette) omle isn't a word [05:42] lol [05:42] proprietary [05:42] ActionParsnip: I only know it by tongue lol [05:42] I installed them from the system settings [05:42] r00t__: then i wouldn't write it as you may write something offensive :) [05:43] ActionParsnip: Punta [05:43] SilvereX : uninstall your graphic driver or your extra compize effects, your PC will be fine [05:43] SilvereX, i am on amd ; so i don't know the qualities of the nvidia free drivers ; but yes enabling the proposed repositories and so, and upating might fix it [05:43] ActionParsnip: I am on a Live CD and in gparted when I double click the extended partition that contains the logical partition it says (At least one logical partition is mounted). How can I fix this so I can increase the size of my linux partition [05:44] nvidia driver don't have better compatibility with ubuntu [05:44] croz, live cd? so just click on umount the partitions [05:44] where is that [05:44] gparted; right click on the partition the unmount [05:45] I go to files and see devices and all of them when i right click say "Mount" but no "Unmount" [05:45] croz: run: mount and check [05:45] croz: its umount, not unmount [05:45] i try to right click on it and umount is grayed out [05:45] unmount [05:45] gparted says Unmount [05:45] croz: mount on it's own shows the currently mounted file systems [05:45] So remove my driver? [05:45] not umount [05:45] ActionParsnip, in gparted the command might appear as unmount though [05:46] Won't that hamper games? [05:46] croz: run: gksudo gparted then and it will be ok [05:46] SilvereX, don't [05:46] ghostchick2013: yeah, very confusing for us CLIers [05:46] I said enable the updates repositories and see if an update of nvidia drivers might fix it [05:47] didnt work [05:47] i still cant unmount [05:47] is it anyway to get rid of that big menu on the left of ubuntu 11.10 ? (forgot the name of this feature) [05:47] proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [05:47] sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [05:47] udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [05:47] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) [05:47] tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) [05:47] croz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:48] croz: what partition can you not unmount in the GUI? [05:48] !cli [05:48] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [05:48] i never mounted anything [05:48] im just in gparted [05:48] croz, when you have a problem of an umounted partition you can use that [05:48] croz: well something has, so we need to find out [05:48] wanting to give some unallocated disk space to linux partition to give it moer room [05:48] !cui [05:49] should i do sudo umount -a [05:49] croz: can't hurt :) [05:49] umount: /dev: device is busy. [05:49] (In some cases useful info about processes that use [05:49] the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) [05:49] croz; it is a relatively safe command [05:49] and some others that look normal [05:49] croz: cool, ok try now [05:49] so nothing appearing as blocked? [05:49] therse /run/shm device busy, also /tmp /cdrom /run [05:50] perfect [05:50] did you opened gparted with gksudo? [05:50] yes [05:50] which session is better to be able to customize the whole system?? [05:50] close it and then open it again from a terminal ; with gksudo gparted [05:50] Woah [05:50] i can resize the ntfs partition justfine [05:50] i did that ghost [05:51] Just checked for updates [05:51] 266 [05:51] fuzzynurfhurter, what do you want to customize? [05:51] fuzzynurfhurter: any you want. I find KDE, XFCE and LXDE super customizable [05:51] i can resize the ntfs partition just fine. just not the linux ones :( [05:51] any drivers updates? [05:51] login screen themes it all [05:51] croz, ext4? [05:52] did you look at the screenshot [05:52] croz: can you run: sudo fdisk -l; mount and pastebin the text using http://pastie.org [05:52] I am in love with 12.04 atm [05:52] me too [05:52] well see up the pages at archlinux customisation if you arent 't afraid to dig deep [05:52] http://postimage.org/image/gd6iz1mjl/ [05:52] to be honest, i dont even understand ATM networks at all [05:52] i have xfce and lxde but cant find any software or whatever so i can change the login screen and the themes and all [05:52] I've only got 1GB of RAM in this computer (buying more soon) and on 11.10, I wasn't able to run Minecraft [05:52] Unless I chucked another 1GB in [05:52] it just reminds me of that annoying bank ATM to get my money out, confuses the shit out of me [05:52] I can run it fine on 12.04 with 1GB [05:52] Is there a web site that has a driver pool for linux / ubuntu? [05:52] If it is just the theme or the wallpapers appearing in lightdm ; you just have to use ubuntu-tweak or unsettings or myunity [05:53] ActionParsnip: here is the pastie http://pastie.org/4175477 [05:53] fuzzynurfhurter, processor; ram; and graphic card power? [05:53] i have ubuntu tweak [05:54] 1.6ghz 1 b on board its an aspire 1 [05:54] 1gb [05:54] is there any way to delete a given xrandr mode? or to set a preferred refresh instead of the default one? [05:54] Brb, gonna wait for these updates to install [05:54] well the xfce are really light, btw if you like it check voyager linux [05:55] i dont have a good enough net connection to dl anything [05:55] yeah but lxde is slick looking [05:55] fml i want this working :( [05:55] But there is a control center in xfce to change themes; and settings; as for lightdm it is in ubuntu tweak [05:56] xrandr (and ati's flgrx driver) think my preferred refresh is 50Hz, but it's actually 60Hz... 50 looks crappy on my TV, even if EDIB says otherwise. So how can I delete the 50Hz modes or set xrandr so 60Hz is the preferred one? [05:56] croz, pastebin your /etc/fstab [05:56] cat /etc/fstab? [05:57] for ati there is a control center , check it out [05:57] i cant find it anymore [05:57] cat /etc/fstab is that the command [05:57] What's the terminal cmd to install lxde? [05:57] or nano /etc/fstab then ctrl c and v [05:57] overlayfs / overlayfs rw 0 0 [05:57] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 [05:57] /dev/sdc5 swap swap defaults 0 0 [05:57] SilvereX, why do you want lxde? [05:58] ghostchick2013: yes, I can change refresh there... but sometimes (fullscreen games, rotate monitors, change resolution) it defaults to the preferred modes (which is 50Hz). How can i delete those 50Hz modes? [05:58] ok, so now we have an answer [05:58] I like using LXDE when using blender [05:58] i see /dev/sdc5 there is that bad [05:58] yep [05:58] close all you can [05:58] how do fix that [05:59] and type sudo swapoff -a [05:59] i did that [05:59] then cat /etc/fstab again [05:59] and it's still there [05:59] MestreLion, I am quite good with various linuxes but xorg configuration is my nemesis [06:00] it is normal that it is in fstab dont' worry [06:00] fstab just show which partitions are to be used ; not the ones that are used atm [06:00] ghostchick2013: i think both xrandr and ati ignore xorg.conf. I can even delete it if it helps. [06:00] there we go! [06:01] now it lets me resize it [06:01] thanks ghostchick2013 what exactly did we do there [06:01] MestreLion, well make a cp or a mv of it before [06:01] im in the maintenance shell can i fix a file system check failed from here?? [06:01] Ubuntu is awesome [06:01] hi folks [06:01] croz; i checked the partitions that might have been mounted; i saw a swap and fiat lux [06:02] ok just tried resizing and got a warning [06:02] Games are running so much faster on 12.04 [06:02] fuzzynurfhurter, what is the pb exactly? [06:02] was wondering if updating to the latest XFCE desktop envirrnment would bonk my Xubuntu install? [06:02] SilvereX: OMG yes, I just tried GTA SA and was going to same the same thing.. but with wine.. [06:02] ghostchick2013: nice catch with swap :) [06:02] I'm needing only half the RAM I usually need to play games [06:03] ghostchick2013: i did already. xorg.conf is not the issue anyway.. its default is the bare minimum, and i've deleted it and everything worked fine. so neither amd driver nor xrandr relies on it. I need a way to either delete the 50Hz modes from all resolutions OR to set the 60Hz ones as the preferred ones [06:03] Whoa wine have progressed; and i m eying Diablo 3 XD [06:03] SilvereX: are you talking about wine windows games or linux native games? [06:03] Linux native [06:03] SilvereX: tried urban terror or Penumbra [06:03] I haven't tried wine games yet [06:03] i will have to come back on that later i got a new 1 now lol [06:03] Windows games with WINE work awesome now :D [06:03] I'm just about to download penumbra again [06:03] ghostchick2013: I got an error saying "You have queued an operation to move the start secotor of partition /dev/sdc2. Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/LINUX partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows partition C:. [06:03] penumbra is well worth the cash if you like scary fps games [06:04] Hi, can somebody help me? I have installed ubuntu to windows xp. Now windows dosen't run any more. [06:04] Amnesia is also good, and made by the same people [06:04] And Amnesia is native [06:04] MestreLion, check the archlinux pages on xorg configuration i rememeber some goods settings [06:04] SilvereX: penumbra is native too :) [06:04] says my /home/blah does not appear to exist [06:04] ghostchick2013: any url at hand? [06:05] ghostchick2013: I got an error saying "You have queued an operation to move the start secotor of partition /dev/sdc2. Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/LINUX partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows partition C:. [06:05] Developers who make sure to make their game run natively on linux deserve infinite blowjobs [06:05] SilvereX: amnesia is great, but the best games from HIB V, imho, were Braid and Limbo.. both fantastic [06:05] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg dive up from there [06:05] SilvereX: well, if you're offering [06:05] croz: you might read a few tutorials on how to move and resize partitions [06:05] thank you ghostchick2013 [06:06] Lol someone else can have the honors of providing the head [06:06] croz, which partition are you trying to resize? [06:06] I didn't get HIB V :( [06:06] I got IV, though [06:06] MestreLion, You are welcome; and good luck [06:06] I've been playing cavestory+ [06:06] /dev/sdc2 extended. or should it be /dev/sdc6 (ext4). the ext4 goes inside the extended though so i figured it was the extended i had to grow first [06:07] SilvereX: it was awesome... I bought for me and for my gf... best $25 bucks i've spend [06:07] and its impressive to notice that Linux users contribute 50% more than windows users [06:07] I've got Limbo for Xbox [06:07] I meant you installed ubuntu in only a ext4 partiton or did you have any more created [06:08] It's freaking awesome [06:08] any screenshot of your gparted? [06:08] an extended partition containing the ext4 and linux-swap partition were created [06:08] yes i posted the screenshot a few times already one second [06:08] I wanna play Bastion and I hate myself for missing out on the HIB V [06:08] http://postimage.org/image/gd6iz1mjl/ [06:08] It's $19 on the software center [06:09] is the shot taken now? [06:09] huh [06:09] about 10 minutes ago [06:09] nothing has changed since then [06:09] i meant did you taked it after or before the commands? [06:09] SilvereX: I got them all for $15... impressive deal. and average was *.50, and linux avg was 12.5 [06:09] all ive done is shrunk the ntfs partition and applied that change. thats all id id [06:09] that screenshot should be current if it shows 97.66GB unallocated [06:10] because it shows the swap partiton as still mounted and it shouldnt [06:10] croz: you can't resize your active partitions [06:10] HIB is amazing [06:10] mestre the mount issue is not there anymore [06:10] im just saying the following [06:10] ghostchick2013: I got an error saying "You have queued an operation to move the start secotor of partition /dev/sdc2. Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/LINUX partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows partition C:. [06:10] im just concerned about the warning now [06:10] i dont want to reboot and grub doesnt work or something [06:10] wait.. how did you unmounted your linux partition? are you already in a live cd session? [06:11] yes live cd [06:11] humm, ok [06:11] and you are wanting to rezise which ones? [06:11] if grub stops working, don't worry, it's easy to recover [06:11] i already shrank the ntfs [06:11] and yes, it will stop working if you move your linux partition [06:11] i want to give 100GB unallocated space to the extended partition which houses the ext4 and swap. it will allow me [06:11] but the warning pops up [06:11] i just want to be sure nothing will get messed up [06:11] ah ; now i understand [06:12] wait some minutes gonna check a thing [06:12] you could just mount the 100gb to be /home/ if you need the space for your users [06:12] i want that exctra space for video games/ movies/etc [06:13] which all can go in the users HOME directory.. [06:13] my / is 20gb.. rest of my hd is home.. close to 3tb of space [06:13] Anyone remember if resizing/moving partitions change the uuid number ? [06:13] ghostchick2013: it can under some cases [06:14] croz: i have the solution for you, wait a sec [06:14] awesome! [06:14] any particular reason to keep it all seperate willis? [06:14] Hi is this the ban u ubuntu chat room? [06:14] for reinstallations it is said to be easier? [06:14] Band [06:14] croz i can easially reinstall the os. and keep home data [06:15] In my case i use a separated data partition; i find it easier [06:15] i can control where playonlinux installs stuff to? [06:15] Has there been anything about Ubuntu supporting the Raspberry Pi? [06:15] croz: it installs stuff in your users home directory... [06:15] Asl? [06:15] how can i make it boot an ide HD instead of the esata 1 it gives me an error when i boot from that HD [06:16] well if you want you can mount the partitions you have free on /usr [06:16] Jeromee: seen some mention of work on it on the RaspPi Blog/forums - but havent paid much attention to it - dont have a RPi yet. [06:16] fuzzynurfhurter, bios first ; i would say [06:16] Yeah, I'm waiting for them to email for more orders to be placed myself, just curious [06:17] is /usr = /home [06:17] nope [06:17] croz: ok, here it is: you want to reisize your ubuntu partition to claim those 96GB space, correct? nice. Yes, grub will top working, but... heres how you recover iit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27155 [06:17] i just want this working already so i can get back to sutff :D [06:17] croz totally not.. /home is /home [06:17] home is home; usr is where most programs are installed [06:17] well heres another issue since we did all those umount and stuff commands [06:17] i cant open firefox to read that [06:17] t [06:18] you are on a live cd.. so FF should still work [06:18] sure croz ... you can do anything from a a live session [06:18] there should not be any problem ; type firefox in a terminal [06:18] i can get a boot screen to come up and boot there but when it does it gives me an error [06:18] i am not able to get any application search from dash [06:18] samba35, check if zeitgeist daemon is running [06:18] ok [06:19] fuzzynurfhurter, i meant as for the booting hard drive you should disable it in your bios [06:19] croz: you can either create a separate /home partition OR you can resize your ubuntu partition to claim that unused hdd space. My recomendation is the latter: it's easier and safer... creating a separate /home is not hard, but it would take extra steps... [06:19] firefox says its open but not responding [06:19] so i cant open again [06:19] croz; killall firefox [06:19] says no process found [06:20] the sata is the first to boot [06:20] system monitor? [06:20] ghostchick2013, with ps -ef |grep -i zeit* it show yes its running [06:20] croz: if you can use xchat from a live session, you can use firefox too :D [06:20] Hi, Can somebody help me? [06:21] ubuntu-studio, with what? [06:21] samba35, ok; any changes made in the compiz settings; also what is not working the apps selections only? [06:21] i havent been able to open firefox [06:21] since ghost told me to close everything i could [06:21] and then run a command [06:21] ghost? [06:21] oh [06:21] ps aux | grep firefox doesnt return anything either [06:21] besides the search process [06:22] the command being umount -a ; as he needed to umount a swap partition [06:22] yes i am not able to search application or any application is now showing there [06:22] he can unmount the swap using gparted... [06:22] right click -> swap off [06:22] I have install ubuntu studio to windows xp, now windows dosen't run any more [06:22] and trying firefox from the command line is not working yet [06:22] should the swap be before the main partition or after?? [06:23] no i did not make any manual change in compoz setting ,how do i check this settings [06:23] fuzzynurfhurter: it is irrelevant [06:23] k just wondering [06:23] MestreLion, We know but it was not working in gparted [06:23] didnt see the swapoff thing til now lol [06:23] How can change default gnome-shell theme for all users ? [06:23] samba35, options reinstall the unity lenses or /and run unity --reset [06:23] anyways so ummm [06:23] i want to use the free space [06:23] and dont want grub to break [06:23] ghostchick2013: firefox not opening, swapoff not working.. isn't it easier just to reboot to live session again? [06:23] croz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:23] i cant open firefox [06:24] ok [06:24] i do agree [06:24] so what should i do? [06:24] Hi, ubuntu-studio. So how did you install Ubuntu. Did you set it to dual boot or did you use Wubi? ...or something else? [06:24] croz: reboot to live session again... open gparted, open xchat, paste a screenshot here [06:24] reboot live session and run to irc again; little things should be fixed [06:24] croz: may be easier to just reboot to get back to a sane state [06:24] ok brb [06:24] firefox should work. and don't worry about grub, it's easy to recover if you lose it [06:25] on ubuntu lol [06:25] samba35, fixed up or still bugging? [06:26] dual boot [06:26] ubuntu-studio: have you tried sudo update-grub ? [06:27] ghostchick it is the first boot device and it still gives me an error after i just finished installing xubuntu [06:27] running comming with unity --reset [06:27] did you miss me?!

[06:29] not partition resizing [06:29] ghostchick2013, sorry i dont correctly understand you ... you mean in the terminal you used to type the commands?

[06:30] croz: resize will work. grub WILL stop working for sure [06:30] now you can go out of the session and log again everything should be ok [06:31] damnit [06:31] ok so i should resize then reboot [06:31] croz: but that is normal and expected [06:31] and come backthen? [06:31] mssg for samba35 [06:31] croz: all you have to do is follow the instructions in that url to have grub back again [06:31] sorry i was waiting command to finish its executation but it working now should i leave unity --reset command or kill process by control +C [06:31] ok [06:32] thank you ! [06:32] ok ill be right back [06:32] generally i prefer to kill the x server to fix it all [06:32] let me try that [06:32] let me resize it then reboot [06:32] back into live cd [06:32] to follow those instructions [06:32] correct? [06:32] croz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:32] after resize, give your ubunt partition a label too, ok? [06:32] croz: after resize, give your ubunt partition a label too, ok? [06:32] croz: and no need to reboot ;) [06:32] i just dont think it likes that ide HD [06:32] how do i give it a label [06:33] croz: right click the partition ;) [06:33] MestreLion, yes he need to reboot to see if the grub is or not working [06:33] right click the extended or ext4?

[06:34] i have gone into bios and made that HD the main 1 still just gives me an error every time [06:35] croz: it could take even less if you first rized it down to 10GB and then moved+expanded [06:35] How can change default gnome-shell theme for all users ?

[06:38] mah454: you wan to change for existing or for new users? [06:38] MestreLion, new users [06:38] guuys, i LOVE ubuntu! remember my issue about deleting 50Hz modes because it is always set to preferred? [06:39] look what JUST popped up in my update-manager: [06:39] MestreLion, change in command line . not gnome-tweek-tools [06:39] MestreLion, oh yeah [06:39] Compiz update: composite refresh rate falls back to 50Hz, which is wrong in most cases (LP: #1009338) [06:40] mah454: for new users, do what ghostchick2013 said: mess with /etc/skel and/or dconf/gconf/gsettings [06:40] btw there is a search tool in gconf-editor , try with searching [06:41] ok [06:41] is anybody speaking german here [06:41] ghostchick2013: is theme set on gconf or dconf?

Or will it just replace what it needs to and leave my files where they need to be [06:42] ubuntu-studio, i can understand some [06:42] ghostchick2013: the "whatever mah454 wants" theme :P [06:42] itll leave the files === mendez_ is now known as Emerson [06:42] EverettTheFirst: the latter [06:42] Im having problems with my internet [06:43] its not connecting very well [06:43] EverettTheFirst: but you should backup anyway... sometimes newer version of apps may not work correctly with your old config / settings files [06:43] qwe$t/centurylink? [06:43] ghostchick13: ok i try in english, i have install ubuntu 12.04 (dual Boot) now windows xp dose't start any more [06:43] Thank you, so I'll be fine with clicking the upgrade button on my update manager, or enter the command, whatever I choose? Also, do you suggest I make the upgrade?

[06:44] n/m [06:44] MestreLion: sorry i didn [06:44] Mestri [06:45] ubuntu-studio: try it then. it will update your grub menu, perhaps fixing your dual boot issue [06:45] MestreLion Sorry i didn't see it, no i haven't made an update [06:46] ubuntu-studio: open terminal and type: [06:46] ubuntu-studio: sudo update-grub [06:46] ghostchick2013, sorry i have to restart my computer after i close the process with control +c and after reboot same thing again i am not able to see or search applications [06:46] reboot and see if it works [06:46] Thanks for your help guys [06:47] lol [06:48] ghostchick2013, sorry i have to restart my computer after i close the process with control +c and after reboot same thing again i am not able to see or search applications [06:48] I just upgraded from 10.4lts to 12.04lts. Now all fonts in nautilus are huge and I can't find anything to change it.

[06:50] ghostchick2013, how do i fix that problem permanently ,dash search [06:50] samba35, unity 3d i guess [06:50] Ive got a problem if someone wouldn't mind helping.. Im installing ubuntu server for the first time and think I may have configured the lvm wrong.. The error im getting is unable to install grub in /dev/sda. Executing grub-install /dev/sda failed. This is a fatal error. [06:51] So im not sure if I should have set something bootale [06:52] after running unity 3d i lost all control and icons from desktop [06:52] and the error disappeared when running it from command line? [06:52] samba35, that's easier , ubuntu-tweak and show icons [06:53] brb i will have to restart comptuer [06:53] ok [06:53] let me try that [06:53] hello everyone [06:53] no need to reboot [06:53] what does the viafb driver do? [06:53] it is listed in my "additional drivers" but I can't install it [06:53] it is a driver for the framebuffer [06:53] synaptic? [06:54] what is a framebuffer? [06:54] hello all [06:54] ghostchick2013, is there a command called ubuntu-tweak ? [06:55] do I need a driver for framebuffer? [06:55] MestreLion: it dosen't work [06:55] Regarding my previous question, do I need to create a master boot record while creating partitions or shod that already be there? [06:55] dr_willis: myunity was no help but a new user has everything correctly [06:56] it is a basic package everyone install : ) [06:56] I cant install it :( [06:56] look for it on duckduckgo and then install it with gdebi [06:57] Zapelius: it means some config/setting for your user, inherited from 10,04, is making 12.04 fonts go weird... you could try deleting a few of the hidden dot files and dirs to reset them [06:57] (don't remember if it is in the repos yet) [06:57] ghostchick2013, may be becase i am on ubuntu-server its not there [06:57] MestreLion: trying that next [06:57] the .gconf or such are good to start with [06:58] Hello All [06:58] Zapelius: it may also reset some other desktop settings to default values, if you don't mind that, go ahead [06:58] samba35, well you have ubuntu 3d ? and a X running so you should be able to download and install it with no pb [06:58] new to ubuntu .... need some help [06:59] ok [06:59] mestrelion [06:59] g4br1e1, just ask (politely and with details) and see if someone can help [06:59] ok gparted is done [06:59] so I'm going to label Ext4 as "Linux" ok? [06:59] I dont see it on duckduckgo [06:59] @ghostchick2013 - thanks for the advice.... [06:59] then google ubuntu-tweak [07:00] it should be every every where it is widely used [07:00] I am only able to login to my guest account in Ubuntu 12.04 [07:00] what happens wwhen you choose your main one? [07:01] MestreLion: ~/.fontconfig/ was the guilty one. [07:01] ghostchick2013, i search with apt-cache search ubuntu-tweak or i try to install with apt-get install ubuntu-tweak its not there can you please tell me how do i install this package [07:01] whenever I am trying to login to the main account.... after logging in my credentials into main account screen flickers very quickly to back screen and back and then again brings me back to login prompt [07:01] samba35, as i said you need to add a ppa first [07:01] black* screen [07:01] ahh ok [07:01] is MestreLion gone? [07:01] sorry [07:02] then update the sources and install it ; i wonder why you can't find it on google [07:02] g4br1e1, which main changes did you made to your main account? [07:03] Btw i guess the issues lies with your unity/compiz config , it sounds like it [07:03] nothing... I was just learning some new things about setting up new group id's and new users, then last time when I was able to login [07:03] also you can login but the screen is crashing to the xserver [07:04] ghostchick the process on gparted is done and i labeled my ext4 as "Linux" [07:04] but... I can login via Ctrl+Alt+F1... to my main account [07:04] how do i go about making sure grub is working fine? [07:04] should i need to learn C language to master LINUX [07:05] and no idea about the Xserver [07:05] as i said the bug lies with a unity/compiz config that crashes the xserver [07:05] k [07:05] The simplest way is to login in your main account on the unity 2d [07:05] how to swittch to #ubuntuforums [07:05] then we at least exclude that hypothese [07:05] k... how do I do that ? [07:06] croz, have any other computer handy ? [07:06] dr_willis, MestreLion, thanks. [07:06] g4br1e1, do you have any unity2d installed? [07:06] I'm complete noob.... no idea what that is... [07:07] exit [07:07] I do see something that says on login screen to login to Ubuntu or Ubuntu 2D [07:07] ghost i have my ipad [07:07] why [07:07] is it the same [07:07] ok on lightdm screen next to your name, there is a button with the ubuntu sign , click on it and see if there is any ubuntu 2d on the list [07:08] or you can look for it on synaptic or ubuntu software center and see if it is there [07:09] croz, for the grub commands , it is easier [07:09] crazymindstorm: hat nicht funktioniert, gibt es noch andere Möglichkeiten [07:10] croz, reboot and prepare your ipad on the webpage formerly given( btw if you can copy the link again it would be easier ) [07:10] and ubuntu irc channel of course [07:10] can anyone tell me how to kill a process using some port in ubuntu ?? [07:11] Hello [07:11] g4br1e1, you mean after logging to unity 2d it still crashes and boot you? [07:11] i thought i could do all this without rebooting [07:12] I have zipped up a large file and sent it to my buddy the other day. I used the GUI program in Ubuntu 12.04 and set a password. My buddy says he gets some "... PK error... ". I can not recall what exactly it was. The file hash is the same so the file that he received is not corrupted. What could be the reason that he can not unzip it? [07:13] windows/osx/bsd/linux for mayor resizing it is always better to do it from a live cd and to reboot [07:13] hello , how to find out what process is using some port (eg 4444) and kill it ?? [07:13] I am Ask For How Can replace Gnome 3 In The live cd ubuntu 12.04 [07:13] amaali7, what you mean exactly? [07:13] ok im on ipad [07:13] let me reboot [07:13] got my message? === croz_ is now known as croz [07:14] I am Use Ubuntu Builder [07:14] which message [07:14] ghostchick2013, i think he's asking how he can replace gnome 3 on the live cd [07:14] I wont Remove Unity [07:14] "windows/osx/bsd/linux for mayor resizing it is always better to do it from a live cd and to reboot " [07:14] ah gotcha [07:14] how to find out what process is using some port (eg 4444) and kill it ?? [07:14] Yes [07:14] well i rebooted and it went to linux just fine [07:14] i didnt have to mess with grub [07:14] rymate1234, you mean you want which DE [07:15] wat [07:15] yes [07:15] croz, so it was like i said , you did had to check first by rebooting ; ) [07:15] I'm talking about amaali7 :P [07:16] yep you were right [07:16] gnome shell, unity , unity 2d; kde, lxde, xfce,enlightenment etc... pick your poison and i will maybe show you a light [07:16] melestrom had told me i had to fix grub after the resizing but guess not :) [07:16] Well for once i m happy to be right, xserver and grub issues are the only painful things in linux in my opinion [07:17] dont forget flash... ;) [07:17] flash ranks #1 issue. [07:17] Thanks so much. :) [07:17] Now I can get back to learning python! [07:17] Also i guessed you were in linux m i n t because of the theme , you can also try their channel they are good [07:17] what is their channel?

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [07:19] oh then it changed , some years ago , when i first arrived it was a good chat [07:19] willis... but mint worked right ouf of the box for both my samsung gaming beast laptop and my 3 year old asus eeepc [07:19] #android is one such channel [07:19] nope, btw i also missed thanking actionparsnip for all the work he does [07:19] croz: normal ubuntu worked out of the box for my Asus Gaming rig and my New and old Netbooks.. [07:19] neither worked with ubuntu out of the box. the asus eeepc nobody could figure out how to fix the half screen except for when i would restart lightdm which i dont really like having to do [07:20] i guess im unlucky! :( [07:20] getting ready to put Anroid on my Netbook. :) the wife doesnet use it any more for her windows box. [07:20] I used ghost because, even as a good linux user / windows 8 user , i m generally never on ircs or forums, but i do ghost around [07:21] dr_willis, did you checked the android for pc project it worked on my netbook ( but i prefer archlinux there) [07:21] ghostchick2013: thats what ive been playing with. the EEE version seems to work better on the Non EEE netbook for me.. weirdly [07:22] btw sweet jelly mean coming , i m still holding up on buying an android device maybe a nexus ; ) [07:22] jelly bean [07:22] Ive noticed the wife trying to touch the laptop screen :) she thinks its a tablet. [07:22] well it is possible to change the screen to a touch screen i have seen [07:23] Seen a few Ubuntu arm tablets in the news also. [07:23] btw i 'm curious and interested which android version are they using atm [07:23] I installed ice cream sandwich i think [07:23] nou, honeycomb === nando is now known as Guest17471 === Guest17471 is now known as croz [07:26] got pmed, please ask before i did not even noticed it [07:27] @ghostchick - Unity 2D is installed on my system.... I tried loggin out, rebooting and then chossing Ubuntu 2D to login and still the same issue [07:27] g4br1e1, missed your pms , and it is not buddy lol [07:27] k .. my bad [07:28] I have zipped up a large file and sent it to my buddy the other day. I used the GUI program in Ubuntu 12.04 and set a password. My buddy says he gets some "... PK error... ". I can not recall what exactly it was. The file hash is the same so the file that he received is not corrupted. What could be the reason that he can not unzip it? He is on Suse and I am on Ubuntu. [07:28] well with a name like that you had no excuses xD === bill is now known as Guest66182 [07:29] now what to do... [07:29] look at your pms [07:29] k [07:29] !rootirc | samba35 [07:29] samba35: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm).

[07:30] brb [07:31] Anyone able to get evolution syncing with a gmail account for contacts? I keep getting source already loaded errors no matter what options I select. [07:35] when i try to any ppa i am getting this error ----------http://pastebin.com/HdRztV7c [07:36] default gnome-shell theme is Adwaita . How can change it ? [07:36] ghostchick2013, can you please tell me what wrong i am doing [07:37] samba35, i got disconnected before as i run out of power so i did not saw your messages [07:37] ok [07:38] as you told me to install ppa for ubuntu-tweak when i try to download any ppa i am getting this error [07:38] http://pastebin.com/HdRztV7c [07:38] apt-get install -f first to exclude any weird issues [07:38] ok [07:39] my bad it is simpler [07:39] you forgot to use sudo === trevor is now known as BoPoMoFo [07:40] wassup [07:41] still i am getting same error [07:42] samba35: generally speaking it is better to avoid ppas altogether [07:42] then how do install ubuntu-tweak package [07:43] samba35: in that case you don't [07:43] it not only a pb with this package but with the ppa adding [07:43] yes [07:43] you can dowload one of the packages from the home page in /tmp and then install it with gdebi [07:44] ok [07:44] Hi. [07:45] I would like my package in 12.04 updated. [07:45] auronandace, and also i checked for the bug mentioned it does appear as a "classic" bug on askubuntu [07:45] ubuntu tweak - i recall getting the .deb instgalling it.. and it adds the ppa [07:45] dr_willis, yup it does [07:46] seen a few other apps that also do that trick. [07:46] http://packages.qa.debian.org/4/4digits.html [07:46] fossilet, all or just the ones you use as the browsers and so [07:46] yup, myunity; unsettings and of course gnome-tweak-tool [07:47] I mean this one. The debian version fixes a bug, I'd like it to be synced to 12.04. The 1.1.2 version is already in quantal. [07:47] !backports [07:47] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [07:47] fossilet, two options one download it from the ppas as quantal [07:47] often they pput whatever patches/security fixs back into the older version .. it depends on the app fossilet [07:47] or look for it either in the backports or y-ppa [07:48] fossilet: what app are you refering to exactly? [07:48] dr_willis: http://packages.qa.debian.org/4/4digits.html [07:48] he mentioned 4digits [07:48] ghostchick2013: I mean have it updated in the reop. [07:48] !info 4digits [07:48] ghostchick2013: you shouldn't mix ppas from different releases [07:48] 4digits (source: 4digits): guess-the-number game, aka Bulls and Cows. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1.1-1 (precise), package size 388 kB, installed size 537 kB [07:48] reop? [07:48] In the 12.04 ftp, I mean. [07:49] auronandace, i did not talked of mixing the ppas but of installing just the package [07:49] If its that critical for you to have the game.. you may just want to use the source. [07:49] I have zipped up a large file and sent it to my buddy the other day. I used the GUI program in Ubuntu 12.04 and set a password. My buddy says he gets some "... PK error... ". I can not recall what exactly it was. The file hash is the same so the file that he received is not corrupted. What could be the reason that he can not unzip it? He is on Suse and I am on Ubuntu. [07:49] dr_willis: I am the maintainer [07:49] dr_willis: It is a bug fix release [07:49] fossilet: the maintainer in Ubuntu? or debian? [07:49] ghostchick2013: you told him to download the quantal ppa for 12.04, that is mixing releases [07:49] dr_willis: in debian [07:49] auronandace, not the ppa , to download the package from the ppa [07:50] ah i guess then you should talk with the ubuntu maintener [07:50] Some one pointed me to StableReleaseUpdates wiki page. [07:50] there should be a reason why it was not backported [07:51] Seems it does not say clear about sync debian updates in to stable relase [07:51] is there something that could stop the installation of 12.04 on a pentium3 with 4g ram? As i run the setup it stops in an error about midway through [07:52] Varikonniemi, if you stop in the middle there is a strong probability of getting an absolutely borked system [07:52] afaik the normal kernel shoul run on pentium1 if there is enough ram [07:52] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220 [07:52] fossilet: the SRU page should have all the information you need. This is not really an #ubuntu topic [07:52] ghostchick2013, yes it will not even boot. [07:52] Varikonniemi: sure it's about ubuntu [07:52] theres the #MOTU channel isent there: [07:52] !motu [07:52] motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [07:52] i add to source list and then run apt-get update then i am getting this error [07:53] i was just thinking is it worth to waste another CD and burn 12.10 alpha2 and try with that, or is it something fundamental about ubuntu that requires more than a pentium3? [07:54] fossilet: this channel deals with ubuntu technical issues only. Definitely not development/sru issues. There is #ubuntu-devel too, maybe they can help. But SRU will only be issued in very explicit circumstances [07:54] I forgot his name, somehere helped sync 4digits to precise 2 days before its release [07:54] Varikonniemi: you could try the LUBUNTU cd. it would be better for a low end system., and might do some stuff, [07:54] oCean: thanks, I joined #ubuntu-dev [07:56] Ubuntu seems to have borked my btrfs partition, and I can't mount it. I was hoping some guru here would know how to fix it. [07:57] hey all [07:57] btrfsck shows this, and two more lines similar [07:57] having all sorts of hilarious problems with wine [07:58] hello, is there still a minimum install CD for ubuntu? [07:58] parent transid verify failed on 31302336512 wanted 62455 found 62456 [07:58] phii-tard: maybe guys in #winehq can help you [07:58] !minimal [07:58] 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 [07:58] for example, in fullscreen games (and sometimes other applications...Ableton Live, for example) i don't get any keyboard input [07:59] thanks ubottu! [07:59] !appdb | phii-tard [07:59] phii-tard: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [07:59] no, i assure you, it's an ubuntu issue. [07:59] phii-tard: are you using unity? [08:00] unity2D [08:00] Anybody? [08:00] hi. sup #ubuntu's [08:00] phii-tard: you just said it happens with certain applications. That is not an ubuntu issue [08:00] but the issue persists in e17 and xfce [08:00] sup anon what the deal - e - o [08:00] phii-tard: then it sounds like a wine issue [08:01] the wine answer is always "alt-tab out and back" [08:02] i now use ubuntu - although an expierienced OpenBSD and ArchLinux user i now wil kick with you all [08:02] which would be great if the wine "window" actually appeared in the alt-tab switcher, but it doesn't. (well, Ableton does, but switching focus back and forth doesn't fix it) [08:03] phii-tard: check the appdb [08:03] Can I delay the network interfaces to ifup at start by a second or two? I'm running an openvz virtual machine that boots quicker than it has had time to bring up the virtual nic. [08:03] it's not a specific application that does it, though. it's ANY fullscreen DirectX application. [08:04] hello guys, is ther any youtube downloder for ubuntu [08:04] suborbital, I have zipped up a large file and sent it to my buddy the other day. I used the GUI program in Ubuntu 12.04 and set a password. My buddy says he gets some "... PK error... ". I can not recall what exactly it was. The file hash is the same so the file that he received is not corrupted. What could be the reason that he can not unzip it? He is on Suse and I am on Ubuntu. [08:04] phii-tard: run winecfg and make the fullscreen app use an emulated desktop size [08:06] obviously, i've looked through the appdb for the specific apps i've had the issue with. and i've asked google. i'm not the type to run and ask a grown-up for help with something i could fix by reading other people's mis-spelled forum posts. everybody else has it cured with alt-tab. or has a slightly different problem. [08:06] d'oh! [08:07] I have 4 *.deb files. Can i combine all of them into 1 ? [08:07] karthick87: not that ive ever heard of anyone trying or needing to... [08:08] xcervo, sudo apt-get install youtube-dl [08:08] that fixes it, but it runs in a window. and a directx window rendering 3d graphics doesn't play nice sat on top of unity. [08:09] thanks anon [08:10] phii-tard: unless you are using compiz or kwin with effects turned on then there shouldn't be a problem with fullscreen apps in wine [08:11] phii-tard: unity2d uses metacity so i'd expect it should work (never tried though) [08:12] i know there shouldn't. that's why i'm on irc whining about it instead of playing Thief: The Dark Project. [08:14] ah and you can activate opengl for unity 2d maybe it could hep [08:15] Anyone know of any software for Thunderbird or whatever that looks for specific text in incoming emails and then sends back a canned response? [08:16] ghostchick2013: how do i do that? [08:17] croz: filter [08:17] phii-tard, if you don't mind being wild , in the gconf or dconf editors i remember [08:17] a setting for unity-2d , opengl [08:18] phii-tard: i have a silly question: is your graphics card up to spec for the game (and drivers installed) [08:19] /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p ; as for unity 3d requirements [08:19] thanks [08:19] those all say yes [08:20] so at least unity 3d should work [08:20] and you can absolutely activate the opengl (meaning compositing) for unity 2d [08:20] iceroot filter? is that a gmail thing or thunderbird [08:21] oh, actually...i'm an arse. [08:22] this is PROBABLY related to these "system error detected" messages that pop up every so often. [08:22] why do I recieve this kind of message http://wklej.org/hash/03093d5ef08/ [08:23] i'm so used to ignoring pop-up warnings (years of using slightly broken computers, i just tune out errors that don't directly get in my way) === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [08:24] pastebin it so we get an idea of the pbs [08:26] Anyone any good at recovering btrfs partitions that won't mount? Installing ubuntu 12.04 broke mine. [08:26] (and I need the data on it) [08:27] brtfscheck or similar is working already ? [08:27] if not photorec and co... [08:36] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELkNFewLeoc what is that program on the right side of his screen showing system/network stats? [08:37] * dr_willis guesses conky without looking.. ;) [08:37] lol [08:38] is conky the menubar at the top or the thing on the side? [08:38] you mean at the top [08:39] it is cairo-dock [08:39] sorry ghostchick, I was afk looking elsewhere for my answer [08:39] btrfsck throws errors like this [08:39] on the side it was conky [08:39] half right ;) [08:39] parent transid verify failed on 31302336512 wanted 62455 found 62456 [08:39] yeah i dont want cairo dock [08:39] ok thx [08:39] !conky [08:39] what no conky factoid! Outrageous! [08:39] How can I tell if my version is 32bit or not? [08:40] conky!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [08:40] i dont know much about btfrs , i m just still drolling for zfs [08:40] "Bubbles...stop it" [08:40] guess man pages of btrfs [08:40] or just dd and save the data and then photorec or such [08:41] antonio_: uname -m [08:41] take a look at the archlinux btrfs page though [08:41] dr_willis: you a big tpb fan? [08:42] archlinux you say [08:42] 686 is 32 bit, right? [08:42] antonio_: yes [08:42] ok thought so [08:43] hey all, i installed 12.04 fine but when i reboot x is in a black screen with a cursor and some graphical glitches sometimes, how do i disable 3d? [08:43] i believe this is bieng caused by 3d support [08:43] TC_, yes the archlinux btrfs pages are quite good [08:43] is there a quick key combination? [08:43] how can i install Linux 3.4 on ubuntu 12.04? [08:43] where can i get a file to run conky i installed it from software manager. i type conkyin terminal and nada happens! [08:43] solidus-river, /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p [08:43] Timmy: You mean kernel 3.4? [08:44] u4ia74: yup [08:44] conky --help, [08:44] croz, check the webupd8 or omgubuntu for instructions [08:44] ghostchick2013: from a basic terminal? the desktop is unusuable [08:44] conky should be the command to run conky. should show a default panel ion the right hand side under everything [08:44] timmy: Check out http://www.kernel.org/ [08:45] u4ia74: hehehehe, thank you. [08:45] yeah willis it doesnt pop up anything :( [08:45] solidus-river, in a ctrl + alt+ f1 type unity --reset or --replace [08:45] Timmy: please note that unofficial kernel, might break all sorts of things and that it is not supported [08:45] first [08:45] Timmy: why you need 3.4? [08:45] could be its under the Gnome Desktop [08:45] so it wont run under unity orcinnamon? [08:45] then if it does not work then log in a unity 2d session to debug the 3d one [08:45] iceroot: 3.4 has lots of power management improments, [08:46] and it's good for my laptop [08:46] Timmy: they are backported to ubuntu kernel 3.2 [08:46] Conky woks for me on unioty [08:46] ghostchick2013: i set it to auto log in the user, how can i remove that setting [08:46] Timmy: so i dont see a reason to use 3.4 [08:47] solidus-river, did you tried the unity --reset first ? [08:48] Timmy: if you really need linux 3.4 you should search for a ppa or maby the backports-repo hav it already [08:48] !backports | Timmy [08:48] Timmy: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [08:48] !ppa | Timmy [08:48] Timmy: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [08:48] ghostchick2013: unity --reset segfaulted [08:48] but it at least got the background to the desktop to display back in terminal 7 [08:49] solidus-river, you did it in a ctrl + alt+f1 terminal no [08:49] ghostchick2013, the archlinux btrfs page didn't provide any answers. >< [08:49] ghostchick2013: yes [08:50] ghostchick2013: not as sudo though [08:50] ghostchick2013: just in virtual terminal 1 as my main user [08:50] TC_, my bad , well then gentoo chat , or maybe a btrfs channel xD [08:50] ghostchick2013, i mean you did launched it as you usual user [08:50] ok, thanks. Everyone is asleep in #btrfs, but I'll paste my question every hour. [08:51] can't i install them from 12.10? [08:51] so from what i see , btrfs is not production ready atm [08:51] Timmy, look at your pms [08:51] may be some btrfs info on the forums or askubuntu,com also [08:52] iceroot: Broadcom WLAN was improved after 3.2 too, ext4 big allocation blocks were introduced, cifs was improved, virtio-scsi was added to the kernel, etc. - there have been a lot of features that werent implemented or not implemented that good before 3.4. [08:52] Timmy: you can but! normally you will break the complete system if you mix repos from different releases [08:52] Timmy: mixing repositories is a very bad idea (tm). And as I said before, if anything breaks, you can no longer be supported here [08:53] bekks: as in every kernel release [08:53] iceroot: Right. [08:53] bekks: but the power saving which was asked is backported to 3.2 [08:53] "kernel transplants and other ubuntu disasters " Be a good name for an artical :) [08:54] or a book === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [08:54] Hmm. Just noticed my Netbook has a little bity 'Ef EFI (Fat-12/16/32) partition in the fdisk -l output.. that means its got a EFI motherbord/chipset? [08:55] why do I recieve this kind of message, after apt? http://wklej.org/hash/03093d5ef08/ [08:56] i'm suprised 12.04 has issues on install [08:56] is there a way to install gnome shell instead of unity [08:56] dr_willis: The EFI System partition is a partition on a data storage device that is used by machines that adhere to the Extensible Firmware Interface. [08:56] solidus-river, there is some gnome based ubuntu remasters i have seen [08:56] dr_willis: so yes, you have the efi support [08:57] so if i ever go 'full' ubuntu on this netbook and remove the 2 window sparts.. i should leave that partition: [08:57] or not? ;) [08:57] solidus-river: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [08:57] solidus-river, is unity still bugging on you? [08:57] dr_willis: yes dont remove that [08:57] ghostchick2013: not sure, i realized i did apt-get update instead of apt-get upgrade so i'm running that now and seeing i fthat resolves the issue [08:57] solidus-river: or use the alternate cd dont install a gui and then just install gnome-shell [08:58] iceroot: will installing gnome-shell set it as default or how do i switch? [08:58] solidus-river: not as default [08:58] solidus-river: you can choose on the logon screen which session will be used (as default=) [08:58] in the lightdm you can choose it as option [08:58] solidus-river: but after the installation still unity will start [08:59] to know who you are type whoami [08:59] someone yesterday was going on about how they had issues with efi and thought they had to install grub-efi to get windows to boot on an efi sysgtem.. aparently thats not always the case. [08:59] iceroot: ah, kk so i just need to be able to get into the login screen, i shouldn't have auto logged in, i hoepe i can get back to an interface that will let me modify that, heres to the upgrad :) [08:59] but If they had deleted that efi partition.. that could been the issue [08:59] dr_willis: i thought just UEFI is the evil thing [08:59] dr_willis: imo all new macbooks are using this efi bootloader thing [09:00] the whole efi thing is so new to me.. :) im trying to get the big picture of it. [09:00] This netbook is my newest pc i got at xmas time on clearance. just now noticed its partitions [09:00] I run Ubuntu on it via a 32gb flash drive. ;) [09:00] huh....oh, well....it works now. not sure if i even changed anything, but it works [09:00] dr_willis: and you are starting directly grub2? [09:01] was thinking about putting 12.04 on it later this week. [09:01] grub2 from my flash drive seems to boot it fine [09:01] dr_willis: imo EFI is calling yoiur grub2 [09:01] solidus-river, normally we should be able to fix it all and you could have gnome-shell, unity 3d and 2d at log in so you can choose [09:01] dr_willis: because that info how to handle grub is in that efi partition [09:01] iceroot: that makes more sence then. [09:01] dr_willis: your bios is not starting grub2, its this efi thing [09:02] ive not had any issues with this netbook on any disrots yet. ;) [09:02] dr_willis: yoiu should not get any trouble [09:02] so if the efi partion is needed on the HD.. what if the HD fails.. how would one boot a live USB then: [09:02] dr_willis: ah wait [09:02] dr_willis: if yoiu enable efi you need grub-efi [09:02] dr_willis: are you sure efi is enabled? [09:03] enable EFI in the bios you mean. [09:03] dr_willis: correct [09:03] dr_willis: what about removing the hdd and trying to boot the flash drive? [09:03] dr_willis: guess its the best way to see if it is needed [09:03] thanks for your help, everybody [09:03] have a great day! [09:03] dr_willis: my help is just based on things i read, never had this thing on my systems [09:05] dr_willis: but i know that all the new macbooks have that and imo they all need grub-efi [09:05] Hello :) How can I have micro with Skype ? With sound gestionnary I can talk, but no in Skype :/ [09:05] dr_willis: but luckiliy!!! i never touched a macbook :) [09:05] i dont see any Efi settings in the bios.. perhaps they just cloned a HD image for the netbook thats for newer machines also. [09:06] for a low end netbook this thing is decently quick in booting Linux or Windows. [09:06] dr_willis: However, the EFI partition is used as a staging area for firmware updates;[4] specifically, it places a firmware flash utility (EFI binary) and data file (FD – "Firmware Device"[5]) in the directory EFI/APPLE/FIRMWARE which is then run when rebooting the system in "flash firmware" mode.[6] [09:06] dr_willis: then only UEFI was this evil boot thing [09:07] dr_willis: GRUB 2 (1.97~beta1 or later): when a BIOS Boot partition is found during installation, GRUB will embed itself in it. [09:07] dr_willis: so it can be used to installed grub on EFI instead of /boot [09:09] so the update did not help [09:10] how do i get into 2d mode if enabled auto login and 3d mode doesn't work :\ [09:10] just logout back to the login screen and change your session.. or edit your .dmrc file [09:10] or edit the proper lightdm.conf file to disable auto login [09:11] solidus-river, edit the lightdm.conf to log in the unity2d instead [09:11] ghostchick2013: where would i locate this? [09:11] easy way [09:11] i wish 3d would work though :\ [09:11] 'locate lightdm.conf' [09:11] locate lightdm.conf [09:11] lol [09:11] normally we can fix it from the 2d version [09:12] cool, kk, i'm goign to find lightdm.conf and then hopefully somethign will work along those lines [09:15] i just got a problem what is play a 720p movie with mplayer is not smooth [09:16] try umplayer or smplayer or vlc , then tweak the setttings [09:16] My scanner Samsung SCX-4100 doesn't work after update. I tryed to repair and I have this: Errors were encountered while processing: [09:16] /var/cache/apt/archives/libtiff3-samsungmfp_3.6.1-1_i386.deb [09:16] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [09:16] but it cannot be better than your processor/graphic card capacity [09:16] ok i found lightdm.confg, how do i undo the auto login, i tried switching the session type to ubuntu-2d and adding a 5 second timeout [09:16] but the screen jsut went black then i got my black screen with a black cursor [09:16] unity --reset doesnt segfault anymore [09:16] RomeoAva, yup that is easy as hell to solve just a minute [09:17] solidus-river, when you say it does not segfault, does it work though? [09:17] ghostchick2013: no, it just successfully reset's and it shows a black screen with a cursor when i check terminal 7 [09:18] it spits out some gtk framebuffer object warnings [09:18] pastebin it , i will have a look [09:18] RomeoAva, still there? [09:18] ies [09:18] yes sir [09:18] hmm, kk, this is hard because i'm traveling between rooms, let me switch to my laptop real quick [09:18] brb [09:18] yes [09:19] RomeoAva, mind if i explain it to you in a pm? [09:19] [09:19] I followed all the instruction at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing_Windows_After_Ubuntu to create a dual boot system after Ubuntu, and I was successful in reinstalling the grub. How do I boot from Windows now, it's located on a different partition. [09:19] no [09:20] solidus-river, i kinda think i know where the pb is now that you talked about gtk and such , will see with the pastebin [09:20] reddos ha impostato la modalità +i reddos [09:20] --- Trovato il tuo IP: [79.22.132.159] [09:20] Unknown MODE flag [09:20] * Impossibile entrare in #ubuntu-it (Hai ricevuto un ban cosa vuol dire grazie [09:20] reddos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:23] Hey guys, does anybody have an idea how I can change my boot screen to be used th efull lenght of the boot? [09:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1067378/ [09:23] Right now I'm staring at the GRUB background instead of the Ubuntu loading screen === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [09:24] nothing came up, is there anything i can do? [09:26] hey this is solidus river from earlier with the unity problem [09:26] it is still segfaulting [09:26] you mean windows does not appear? [09:27] solidus-lake, pastebin the terminal output [09:27] ghostchick2013: its a black screen, then really slowly an overlay of grey appears, then the desktop then it crashes [09:27] as i said i kinda thing where the pb lays [09:27] ghostchick2013, no, there is no prompt for booting from windows [09:27] ghostchick2013, i installed windows after ubuntu [09:27] yes so the pb is neither unity 2d or 3d it is a pb with the gnome binaries [09:28] altan, run sudo update-grub and tell me what appears [09:28] ghostchick2013: one sec, installing links2 [09:28] ghostchick2013, i already repaired grub [09:28] this is pretty hard to do from a console :\ [09:28] solidus-lake, easy way out install kde or lxde [09:28] ghostchick2013, it generated a grub.cfg [09:29] ghostchick2013, Found Windows 8 (loader) on /dev/sda2 [09:29] lol jesus, this should be easier than that i feel [09:29] is there a way to disable auto login? [09:29] solidus-lake, just to fix those issues as i said it is a problem in the gnome binaries [09:29] in the light dm conf yes [09:30] ghostchick2013, should i reboot? [09:30] altan, i also use w8 , from memory i have read that there is a pb of compatibility because of windows blocking linux [09:30] altan, reboot at least we will be fixed [09:31] solidus-lake, you can also pastebin you .xorg that are in your home so i can see which exact app segfault [09:32] How can I change Ubuntu to actually set my brightness to low when I use my keyboard to do it? Right now it keeps jumping up again when the screen dimmed [09:32] ghostchick2013: ok how do i do that? [09:32] and if i install kde how do i select it? the unity-greeter i think even crashes [09:32] do what the xorg pastebin? [09:32] install kdm [09:33] and then run dpkg-reconfigure or similar and pick kdm [09:33] sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [09:34] but installing kdm should ask what dm to use. [09:34] dr_willis, thanks [09:36] ghostchick2013, I was able to boot into windows 8 from the grub menu [09:36] ghostchick2013, how can i get the grub menu to show by default? [09:37] im new to ubuntu, this might take a bit [09:37] oy so i have to install kubuntu [09:37] altan, cool taking notes for my own windows 8 , planning to get some android and ubuntu on it [09:37] to get ubuntu to work [09:37] ? [09:37] lol [09:37] solidus-lake: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:37] ghostchick2013, my primary os was ubuntu, i installed windows 8 afterwards [09:37] * solidus-lake gives floobot1 a beer [09:37] altan, you mean to pick and boot in w8 by default? [09:38] ghostchick2013, no, to have the grub show up on its own w/o holding shift [09:38] solidus-lake, you have a bug in your gnome-settings [09:38] ghostchick2013, it was like that at one point while i was on 12.10, i just dont know how it happened [09:38] did you tried setting up another user? [09:38] altan, google some grub configurators , grub2 editing is messy imo [09:39] ghostchick, no but i would be up for trying that, how? and how are my gnome-settings messing up my login manager :\ [09:39] ghostchick2013, alright. thanks for the help! [09:40] so whats the command to install kde and kdm? [09:40] should i just do apt-get install kde? [09:40] it is not the login manager that is messed up, it is the gnome-session [09:40] ghostchick2013: i don't get it though, how come i cant see my login manager even then, couldn't i then kill the gnome session? [09:40] solidus-lake, wait a min i will get you some info , you are on another computer atm no? [09:41] ghostchick2013: yeah i'm on a laptop next to it [09:41] because it is set up for autologin , the grey appearing is unity 2d loading up [09:41] altan, no pb and good luck [09:42] solidus-lake, is it an old installation i mean do you have many packages/settings configured? [09:42] ghostchick, this is a fresh install, i've never used it [09:44] the locale command , where does it gets the locale list from ? [09:44] in which directory are the locales stored ?

[10:52] no idea what you are talking about [10:52] Jacruth, also there is a seeds project i remember with good default configurations for kernels [10:53] with good default configs? Cool, I messed up the 3.4.4 configuration :\ [10:53] Eagleman777: they are command line tools [10:53] Jacruth, another option is a software that manage the kernel compiling and give a nice interface to check the options [10:53] yes, the xconfig, for example [10:53] or mkinitcpo? [10:53] but I don't know what I disabled for 3.4.4, now it doesn't work properly. === moggy is now known as imoggy [10:54] So I want to compile 2.26 or so and cross my fingers to work. [10:54] Jacruth: recompiling the kernel is often done with mkinitcpo [10:54] terminhell: here is my interface file: http://pastebin.com/jmU487PY [10:55] I wish I could, terminhell, but not even the keyboard seems to work in 3.4.4 [10:56] Eagleman777: your gateway is commented out in the last section [10:56] Is there a good documentation page on setting up displaylink USB display on 12.04? The only page I found was the Phoronix article which ended up saying it works with Fedora 17. [10:56] Jacruth: sounds like a reinstall then =/ [10:56] no way! [10:56] I'm using 2.25 at the moment [10:56] I can survive with it [10:56] Jacruth: ew why? [10:57] did you mean reinstall ubuntu? [10:57] or just the kernel [10:58] Jacruth: probably will be an easier fix at this point [10:58] terminhell: it didnt help to uncomment it [10:58] I'm sure it has something to do with my vlan configuration [10:59] Eagleman777: so its ina vm? if so, there might be a vm pluggin and option setting to bridge connections [10:59] no its not in a vm [11:00] its a physical headless machine with ubuntu 12.04 === Riddelll is now known as Riddell [11:01] Eagleman777: how is this machine being used? im a little confused about your dns settings, and your network ip, seems conflicting [11:01] Eagleman777: are you running a dns server on this machine? [11:02] terminhell: eth0 is connected on vlan 10 with a bridged interface on my router [11:02] so its able to pickup its own WAN IP Address [11:02] eth1 should be the lan connection [11:02] Eagleman777: ok, but im looking at eth1 [11:03] oh poo [11:03] Eagleman777: you have a dns entry that is the same as your static ip... [11:03] Yes becuase the server is running DNS [11:03] bind [11:04] bind caching server [11:04] hmm, ok, not terribly familiar with that process, justa sec [11:05] Cannot find device "eth1" Failed to bring up eth1.

[11:07] Eagleman777: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BIND not sure if this will help, but might be worth looking over [11:08] win c [11:08] terminhell: the problem is not in dns [11:08] it always worked [11:08] ifconfig -a is showing rename3 [11:08] dmesg shows [drm] nouveau unknown i2c port ... - what is this and how to repair this?

[11:36] ufrgs, samba is installed and configured on the ubuntu? [11:36] any idea what might be the issue ?

[13:11] ghostchick2013, which one? [13:11] Hi all [13:12] Muelli, where do I set shortcuts then? [13:12] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) on an EC2 instance [13:12] ufrgs: keyboard settings. [13:12] Now will doing a apt-get dist-upgrade update my machine to a newer release? [13:12] brahmana: no. do_release_upgrade or smth similar. Google will know. [13:12] or will it just pull in the updates to other applications for the current version itself? [13:13] ghostchick2013: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1067654/ [13:13] I can't load GLX module on X becouse there's a version mismatch between NVIDIA X driver and the GLX module. Can anyone help me to understand what packages I need to rebuild? [13:13] ghostchick2013: is it like that [13:13] Muelli: aah.. great.. I do not want to go to the next release, but want the latest dot release in the 10. series [13:13] Muelli: dist-upgrade would do that right? [13:13] arjun, yup, do you see your windows partition in nautilus [13:14] brahmana: I don't know really what the question is, sorry. But dist-upgrade will NOT upgrade your release. It will merely install update AND new packages, i.e. as a result of dependencies. [13:14] ghostchick2013: nautilus . i dont know about it? [13:15] ghostchick2013: can you help me? [13:15] Has anyone had problems with gnome-settings using too much CPU in Ubuntu 12.04? [13:16] hello, I'm having trouble with an upgrade. whenever I attempt to upgrade or remove ps3mediaserver I get an error " Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [13:16] reinstall it before attempting a removal." but when I attempt a reinstall, apt says it's "Preparing to replace ps3mediaserver 1.53.99+git+mencoder34587-2 (using .../ps3mediaserver_1.54.00+git+mencoder34587-1_amd64.deb) ..." but it just hangs. I can see dpkg thinks it's running, but it isn't doing anything. [13:16] any idea how I can resolve the apt problem? [13:17] ghostchick2013: ?????????? [13:17] Muelli: Cool. Thank you. That is what I needed to know. Anything else I need is available here : http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.in/2010/04/upgrading-ebs-instance.html [13:17] ok, IDK WTF, but I just tried another reinstall and it seems to have reinstalled? wtf... [13:17] ghostchick2013: how can i use nautilus? [13:17] brahmana: nice :) [13:18] arjun, nautilus is your default files manager [13:18] Please people do read a bit about linux and ubuntu , please [13:18] read what? [13:19] ghostchick2013: there i can see the windows related files? [13:20] arjun , go into the unity interface and type nautilus [13:20] sunshinehappy, there is plenty of resources about ubuntu online , wikis , guides, spezialised websites [13:21] ghostchick2013: ok i will try and comeback [13:22] arjun, what mount command show [13:23] samba35: on starting i can only fnd the ubuntu there is no winows? === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [13:24] nautilus open? [13:24] samba35: but i can find all the files of indows in the ubuntu ? [13:24] what if you press control +alt +f1 ? [13:24] samba35: ghostchick2013 cant fint the naughtilus??? === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [13:25] lol lol [13:25] unity interface then [13:25] nautilus [13:25] not naughtilus lol [13:26] I need to use an alt. installer from here http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ but how do i know which one to use? [13:26] Hello. Is there some way to interact (or utilise) the calendar that is visible in the top panel? I mean something that lets me enter appointments and such, so that the dates are marked in the calendar, something that works independently of thunderbird or Evolution. [13:26] MissVera, why ? [13:26] ghostchick2013: i think i amm in the unity interface is it gnome? [13:27] My specs dont allow me to install from the live cd. I had the same issue when instaling Lubuntu [13:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1067654/ [13:27] how do I set up other computers to connect using my internet connection? (other_pc <-> my_pc <-> a modem) [13:28] !ics | gry [13:28] gry: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:28] Lately, I'm losing confidence about ubuntu [13:28] ghostchick2013 Text-based installation The text-based installer is for computers that can’t run the graphical interface-based installer, either because they don’t meet the minimum requirements for the live CD or because they require extra configuration before the graphical desktop can be used. You will find this installer in the “Alternate install CD” section (please note, the downloads have the word ‘-alternate-’ in [13:28] MissVera, so even the lubuntu is too much for your specs? [13:28] bastidrazor: thank you [13:28] gry: you're welcome and good luck. [13:29] No, its the live cd. I had installed lubuntu just fine with an alt. [13:29] 10.04 was perfect, 12.04 introduced regressions in several areas, and updates do not fix obvious bugs, but introduce new ones - it gets less and less usable [13:29] arjun, is nautilus open ? [13:29] I Just need help picking an alternate file, then installng with it. I'm really new to all of this :/ [13:30] MissVera, wait a min and i will give you a link [13:30] also glad to see another chick there [13:30] ghostchick2013: not yet yar :( [13:30] Its rough. The guys aren't always very... Welcoming. [13:31] 12.04 64 or 32, kde,ubuntu? pick your poison [13:31] 32 [13:31] beyond that. Whatevers clever [13:31] well i decided to pick a female name as to end the women invisibility, but yes we are there [13:31] arjun, terminal open it [13:31] just ordered new hardware - i7 3770k, 24gig, Asus P8-Z77 - hoping Ubuntu will work on that one [13:32] MissVera, that would be http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso [13:32] ghostchick2013: ok [13:32] ghostchick2013: opened [13:32] Excellent. tyvm :) [13:32] arjun, windows 8 or 7 or vista [13:32] I've en countered this bug in ubuntu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531074 [13:32] Error: Could not parse XML returned by bugzilla.redhat.com: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/xml.cgi?id=531074) [13:33] ghostchick2013: win 7 [13:33] MissVera, lol he/she devanced me, but welcome on board [13:34] ghostchick2013: windows 7 [13:34] btw is the 12.04 ok , or should not it be a lxde or xfce qs she said not powerful specs [13:34] Its hard to pick up on. I need an idiots guide or something >.> [13:34] one big problem is that the desktop (Unity) is so inconsistent - shortcut keys work/don't work, dragging windows is smooth but becomes jerky with time (not load)... [13:35] Someone had said that mine should be just enough to run it. I've tried it through the live cd, and it seemed pretty smooth. [13:35] waperboy, why dont you go to the others ubuntu channels for your observations [13:35] oh :) [13:35] arjun, send you pm [13:35] wasn't aware .) [13:35] ghostchick2013: windows 7??????????????????????????????? [13:35] MissVera, well if the unity 3d runs smoothly then go for it [13:35] samba35: wat? [13:36] i send you message can you can open that window so we can chat there [13:37] arjun, from which part of india you are [13:37] which "other" channels would that be [13:38] waperboy: #ubuntu-offtopic [13:38] strange [13:39] that talking about Ubuntu is "off-topic" :) [13:40] waperboy: this channel is for support not rants or chat.

I get an authentication screen but but the connect button stays grayed out (know the password is correct) same machine (duel boot) connects easily when win 7 is running. Any help? [13:54] NurseDad, nice nickname [13:54] NurseDad, so open the network interface [13:55] ghostchick2013 :thank you [13:55] syslog is saying stuff like this: ata7.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED [13:55] ghostchick2013 ok [13:55] how can i figure out which disk device ata7.00 is? is there a command, or somewhere in /proc or /sys ? [13:55] dmesg here: http://pastebin.ca/2165841 [13:55] what's a url called in dircolors? [13:55] NurseDad, go on edit connections [13:56] and try to add it [13:56] ghostchick2013 yes i have done that and deleted and re done several times no joy [13:56] samble, sudo fdisk -l [13:57] or gksudo gparted for the nicer version [13:57] ghostchick2013: That wont correlate the sysfs device name with the logical device name used by fdisk. [13:57] ghostchick2013: that shows disk device node names, but not scsi bus addresses or ataX-type names [13:57] from what i can tell anyway [13:57] samble: Take a look into /sys [13:57] NurseDad, all the fields are correctly inserted in? [13:58] i poked around in /sys/, and tried to grep -iIR for ata7, but all i got was a buttload of recurisve directory loop errors and no results on stdout [13:58] click on show password and verify it also [13:58] ghostchick2013: i think so, i even saw a thread about inserting the routers mac address as the BSSID in IP v4 and that seemed to work for a time [13:59] i give up , might be a problem with the netwotkmanager [13:59] bekks: so idk where to look in /sys/, is that hierarchy documented or something? [13:59] check if proposed updates and backports are enabled [14:00] maybe a fix might come, networkmanager is acting up a lot atm [14:00] ghostchick2013: yes password correct. I was hoping the updates to kernal image i got this AM would fix but nope [14:01] samble: I guess it is documented in the kernel documentation, you could just start with find /sys -type d -name ata1 [14:01] bekks: no results [14:01] samble: Then use find /sys | grep ata ;) [14:02] ghostchick2013 it is intermittent yesterday I had no problem connecting at home or at twwo other locations [14:02] find /sys -type d -name '*ata*' [14:02] gave some shit [14:02] but nothign good [14:02] samble: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] samble: omit -type d [14:02] yeap thats why i said it must be acting up [14:03] it is not in the kernel , it is in the networkmanager daemon and package [14:03] how do i enable backports [14:04] software sources [14:05] Where can i fin the latest version of uev for ubuntu? [14:05] udev [14:05] yea i see it it is enabled [14:05] help me, I'm in the middle of a "minimal install" on a netbook, I wish to dual boot with windows 7 (and keep recovery stuff if possible). I am up to the partitioning stage what do I do to ensure I don't stuff up and wipe windows [14:06] Window has a small partition always like 15 to 50 GB [14:06] make sure it stays put and you should be good to go [14:06] that's the recovery partition [14:06] it should be marked as boot [14:07] NurseDad, another option is killing networkmanager [14:07] and using wicd [14:07] jfreak53: what to I physically do, when at the partioning screen [14:07] sorry but imo wicd is just way more stable [14:07] Are you in the GUI or the alternate installer version? === moruk|ZNC is now known as moruk [14:07] I'm in the minimal install [14:08] ghostchick2013 how do i kill NM [14:08] then use arrow keys to scroll down to each partition you want to remove, press enter, then in the resulting screen scroll to delete and press enter on the delete option [14:08] making sure to keep the recovery partition of Win 8 [14:08] *win 7 [14:08] as I said it should be the first option [14:09] sorry win7, I just read an article and it's stuck in my head ha ha [14:09] is this in manual or "guided" [14:09] jamesw03: Dont remove partitions as long as you do not have a backup. [14:09] manual [14:09] guided won't do what you want [14:09] jamesw03: Do you have enough space free for a dual boot install? Or is the disk completely used by windows at the moment? [14:09] Hi guys. Yesterday, after an update, I stopped being able to connect to wireless. With the enormous help and patience of litropy and L3top we tried to solve it, but no luck. I've tried what's here: [14:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966012&highlight=bcm43224 [14:10] once you are only left with the recovery partiton you scroll to free space and press enter. in the resulting screen you select the option that says something to the effect of [14:10] automatically partition free space for linux [14:10] But when I do sudo modprobe -r wl it says file not avaliable [14:10] and I still have the same problem [14:10] bekks: windows is the only thing on there currently its a brand new machine [14:10] jamesw03: That doesnt answer my question. [14:10] bekks: he shouldn't if it's win 7 recovery, it uses everything, and you can't normally resize and win7 partition without loosing thing's [14:10] sudo stop NetworkManager [14:10] ghostchick2013 will it run at next boot without me starting it? [14:11] wicd or network manager? [14:11] NM [14:11] jfreak53: You can resize an NTFS partition - but not using the ubuntu installer. [14:11] Where can i fin the latest version of uev for ubuntu? [14:11] sorry, i assume the disc is fully used by windows [14:11] yup it runs automatically at login, my idea test wicd and then if it works remove netwworkmanager [14:11] Yes using other utilities, that's not my point. My point is that unless your 100% positive that all information is at the beggining of the disk partition [14:11] ill run over to machine and come back (it is in different room) [14:11] which you can't 100% be positive with win7 can you resize [14:12] ghostchick2013: ok just checking [14:12] jamesw03: Then stop whatever you are doing there, create a backup, and resize the Windows 7 partitions to get free space. [14:12] jfreak53: You never heard of gparted, dont you? ;) [14:12] What I was guiding him to was a re-install of Win7 by other means after Linux [14:12] Once again you not listening to my point. [14:13] NTFS is a fragmented P type, while Ext4 and other's are not. [14:13] jfreak53: He has no backup currently. He will lose data when following your way. [14:13] So you must unfragment it before resize or you risk loosing data [14:13] NurseDad, wicd is way stabler, so if it works normally you should be in heaven [14:13] Correct, but it's a brand new machine, NO data he said [14:13] and if it does not as you did removed networkmanager yet at reboot it would be back [14:14] Plsu sometime's, when resizing a NTFS partition it afterwords won't boot since it's boot data was at the end or past the resize. I know, I have done it before. [14:14] another option is also to killall nm-applet [14:14] and then run it from terminal to debug [14:14] jfreak53: Personally, I never hard problems resizing even fragmented NTFS filesystems. [14:14] jfreak53: gparted did a good job always and cared about everything. [14:14] and gparted can defrag also [14:14] Where can i see a list of network modules i am loadidng during the kernal startup? [14:15] Eagleman: Nowhere. Only by using lsmod [14:15] It's better to let window [14:15] jfreak53: Thats not true ;) [14:15] 's defrag it's own partition than to let Linux do it [14:15] bekks, jfreak53, so currently in the minimal install there a few things listed [14:16] there is the usb drive from which minimal install is booted on [14:16] there is hard drive too (it is 250 gb) [14:16] ghostchick2013 getting this:::stop: Unknown job: NetworkManager === lubmil is now known as lub` [14:16] it is normal because network manager have been stopped [14:17] ok [14:17] strangly there looks like three things on it one, ~200 gb another ~213 gb and another 13 gb [14:17] sudo start NetworkManagerin a tab [14:17] sudo start NetworkManager in a tab [14:17] then nm-applet if you want networkmanager [14:17] can you point me toward a tutorial to do this reparitioning etc [14:17] if not install the packages of wicd [14:17] jamesw03: Which cant be true, since 200+200+13 is greater than 250. [14:18] bekks: r8169 andd 8021q and i am still missing intel driver [14:18] exactly [14:18] Eagleman: Then modprobe it. [14:18] I need to delay them [14:18] Eagleman: Check lspci before. [14:18] for 2-3 seconddds [14:18] one has a "B" next to it [14:18] since udev is giving me problems [14:19] Well i'm embarrased it says mb not gb [14:19] makes more sense now [14:19] 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) [14:19] is missing in lsmod [14:20] Eagleman: No. [14:20] 200Mb, restore part for boot, 13GB restore part for files, 200GB actual partition with win7 installed [14:20] Eagleman: Thats an Realtek, not an Intel chipset. [14:20] jfreak53: Which cant be, on a 250GB drive. [14:20] jfreak53, bekks,, okay, so obviously i need to exit minimal install, what to I do next [14:20] Well its onboard bekks [14:20] not sure if i got intel or realtek onboardd [14:20] Eagleman: And? It is still a Realtek and not an Intel. [14:20] bekks: it adds up, i mess up units [14:21] Its not an intel motherboard, its MSI [14:21] SO they could use realtek [14:21] Eagleman: That doesnt matter. Even Intel boards do have Realtek chipsets sometimes. [14:21] bekks: yes it can, he's missing a few gigs here or there but that's what win7 does. 200Mb is boot, 13GB is restore part with files to restore, and the rest is for the actual install [14:21] makes sense [14:22] bekks: http://pastebin.com/p2kgCVt3 [14:22] Eagleman: Whats in that pastebin?

[14:24] I've discovered a bug or problem with the Unity panel [14:24] Now i need to blacklist them [14:24] in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [14:24] Eagleman: Both? You dont want them to load at all?

[14:26] But i am not sure which river my eth1 devices uses since i cant start it [14:26] Is there a plan to properly implement drag and drop feature in Unity or will it remain only possible from one open window beside another? [14:26] Eagleman: Then take a look at dmesg to see which module it uses. [14:26] Or use lspci -k [14:27] They both use: r8169 [14:27] bekks: where do I go from here, can you point to any tutorials? [14:27] Eagleman: Then blacklisting that module will cause to not have eth0 and eth1 anymore :) [14:27] true [14:27] but i want them to start later [14:28] bekks: do you think this is appropriate way to do it http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [14:28] but since they both have the same module [14:28] jamesw03: First defragment your Windows. Next, use gparted to resize the "big" Windows partition, to get free space. [14:28] Eagleman: Thats pointless. Your problem will be solved using udev rules. [14:28] You've read the comment from Thomas S? [14:28] okay [14:28] Eagleman: Using udev rules, you can determine which interface gets which name very precisely. [14:28] excuse me ,i have a question.how to remove a configured program? [14:28] ill report back [14:29] Eagleman: That bug is two years old and fixed long ago.

[14:30] I am [14:30] but i am still having the bugg [14:30] Eagleman: So which udev version do you have? [14:31] Which command shouldd i use to see that? [14:31] Eagleman: dpkg -l udev [14:31] 175-0ubuntu9 [14:31] bekks: do i defrag entire disk or just the "big" partition [14:32] Eagleman: I dont think that bug reappeared after _30_ udev versions.

[15:10] I had a look at the chrome folder and it seems as if chrome is not using libgcflashplayer.so any longer, does anybody know something about this [15:11] I thought Chrome dropped support for Flash forever ago. [15:11] no it was using a special file libgcflashplayer.so to handle frlach in ubuntu [15:12] no chrome has pepper flash [15:12] noe after 2 consecutive daily updates chrome just doesn't run any more [15:12] it is all the others browsers that got droped out of adobe support [15:12] ggg4444, suse is not supported here [15:12] I see it has peper flash no but why doesn't it run in 11.10, any help perhaps [15:12] oupateddie, tried running it from command line to see the pb?

I don't know how to get them back. Any thoughts? [15:15] how do I now get any flash to run in Firefox or Opera? If I can find that then I don't need chroem [15:15] does ubuntu automatically mount partitions somewhere or do I have to use fstab? [15:16] or change of chrome version btw betas, and nightlies [15:16] timothyhines, unity --reset in any terminal [15:16] aristidesfl: You have to use the fstab for non-removable devices. [15:16] never used IRC before newbie, is there a newbie help channel? [15:16] oupateddie, open firefox? [15:16] ghostchick2013 had chromiujm and it didn't want to run any flash websites, installed chrome and it did. FF and Opera do not run any flash sites [15:17] ghostchick2013 OK [15:17] aristidesfl, in nautilus they mount when clicked upon [15:17] bekks should I mount inside /mnt? [15:17] ghostchick2013 I don't have graphical interface [15:17] oupateddie, it is normal flash does not seem to be installed [15:17] aristidesfl: Depends on where you want them. I'd use /mnt/name1, /mnt/name2 ... [15:17] aristidesfl, simple go to ctrl + alt + f1 [15:17] How come packages in apt always lag a few versions behind? For instance phantomjs is 1.4 and 1.6 is out. [15:17] in FF the libflashplayer.so is installed [15:18] then log in as you user [15:18] ghostchick2013 - unity--reset doesn't work . Compiz (core) = warn: failed to receive configureNotify event on 0x2400387 [15:18] and then install by reset [15:18] littletinybaby: Because ubuntu uses stable versions, not bleeding edge. [15:18] compiz --replace for termilal [15:18] oupateddie, try the addon flashfix [15:18] bekks tks [15:18] I have flashaid installed, is flashfix another addon? [15:19] bekks: 1.5 is stable, 1.6 is bleeding edge. Ubuntu is a version behind. [15:19] littletinybaby: "stable" in the repos is not determined by the project, but by Ubuntu/Canonical. :) [15:19] bekks: bugger [15:20] oupateddie, i meant flash aid [15:20] littletinybaby: I guess I'd just ignore you from now on. [15:20] so even with it installed and running the plugins is not activated? [15:20] bekks: hmm why? [15:21] I have that and it installs the libflashplayer.so and this doesn't run any flash websites. [15:21] ghostchick2013 nope [15:21] bekks: I'm sorry if I said something wrong. [15:21] oupateddie: Then check about:plugins [15:21] OK what must I see [15:21] would anyone care to check my syntax on a very basic script? i need proofreading for some basic homework :) http://pastebin.com/iJ85P3ey [15:21] oupateddie: Some hint taht flash is available. [15:22] Yep shickwaveflash with libflashoplayer.so is enabled [15:23] 3 days a go I used flash aid to install the chrome flashplayer and it worked fine, but then chrome had a new update and the libgcflashplayer.so was remeoved and since then fglash doesn't work ijn FF and Opera [15:24] Chrome itself doesn't start up at all now [15:24] oupateddie: how did you install the actual Flash plugin? [15:24] unity --replace, compiz --replace doesn't do anything [15:24] still no menus [15:25] why each action with apt returns this message? "You do not own that mountpoint" [15:25] mneptok It was installed via flash aid [15:25] oupateddie: i have no idea what that is. === themill_ is now known as themill [15:25] timothyhines, install a 2d session as we debug it will get you an interface at least [15:26] yugnip, the elif path looks suspicious.

I just finished installing and am trying to install my normal applications but apt-get is telling me that there is no install canadet for my pakages( skype, blender, git-core, libdvdcss2).

And I was wondering if I can use the cloud to save document on it by saving under windows clinet but running the cloud in a Virtual Maching. Is it possible or the thing that I sad does not make sense? [15:34] oupateddie: i would suggest you move aside all your Chrome ocnfigs, and see if that allows the app to run. [15:34] mneptok I'm busy removing anything remotely looking as if it is flash [15:34] *configs [15:34] sioux_, so the sound is only not working in flash? [15:34] mneptok How do i do that if I cannot get into chrome iteself? [15:35] n1ckn4me09876543, bekks, so what do I do, im stuck [15:35] jamesw03: I just told you. [15:35] * mneptok whistles the "Jeopardy!" theme [15:36] can you explain how [15:36] im not quite sure what you meant [15:36] ghostchick2013, i try now rhythmbox dont work too.. i m thinking that i not installed ubuntu-restrict-extras [15:36] Am trying to save files on a cloud but I dont know what to use I was wondering if I mad a cloud server in a virtual machine can I save files in windows using the server? === k0s is now known as qw[UA] [15:36] jamesw03: Dont create 4 primary partitions, but only 3. Create an extended partition, and create logical partitions in the extended partition. [15:37] Adminkid: install openssh-server on your Ubuntu VM, then use Filezilla or WinSCP on Windows to connect via SFTP. [15:37] so does anyone know why a fresh install of 12.04 64-bit wouldn't have pakages that are normally avalible? [15:37] there is already 4 [15:37] there is the main windows one [15:37] there is 3 other ones from HP [15:37] its a hp netbook [15:38] mneptok: Can I do the same thing with Windows? [15:38] I looked at http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-a-32bit-programme-in-64bit-ubuntu/ but I can't even find ia32-lib [15:38] jamesw03: Then you cant do anything about it at that point besides resinstalling, not restoring windows. [15:38] Adminkid: i do not know about sftpd's for Windows. [15:38] if i run the 64 bit live cd and minimal installation later on will that fix the issue? [15:39] Adminkid: filezilla exists for windows, too. [15:39] jamesw03: No. [15:39] n1ckn4me09876543: the 4 partition limitation is caused by the MS-DOS partition table type, not 32 vs 64 bit. a GPT partition table can have more than 4 primary partitions. [15:39] any other suggests [15:39] jamesw03: I just told you. [15:40] bekks: Thanks. mneptok: Thanks to:) [15:40] so all i can to is reinstall windows? [15:40] jamesw03: Exactly. Dropping that HP stuff, and reinstall Windows, not restore it. [15:40] jamesw03: if you have an MS-DOS style partition table (and it is almost certain you do), you'll need to delete at least one of the 4 primary partitions and replace it with an "Extended DOS Partition." this is a dyummy container partition that can hold more. [15:40] which one [15:41] mneptok: HE has 4 primary partitions in use. [15:41] i have (let me go check) [15:41] bekks: right. delete one, create an extended. then create partitions in the extended. [15:41] domtron: skype is in the partner repositories i believe, libdvdcss2 you can get from medibuntu .. git-core and blender should be in regular repo's .. have you checked your software sources yet? [15:41] mneptok: All four are in use... [15:41] mneptok: He cant delete one of them. [15:41] there is a 200 meg one that looks like it is for boot [15:41] bekks: it doesn;t change the fact that this is the only way forward without a reformat. [15:41] jamesw03: Needed. [15:42] hello, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a little sun micro server. I have lxde (and intel integrated graphics). While I'm using the server as a client (e.g., surfing the web) the windows manager will randomly disappear and suddenly I'm dropped to the command line. What's really strange is the things that I was typing while in the GUI session are shown in the command line. For example, if I searched "help with lxde" when I was using f [15:42] there is one over 200 gig [15:42] then I would see that in my command line history, as if I had typed it into the command line [15:42] and there is a 13 gig one [15:42] jamesw03: Nopaste the output of sudo fdisk -l from the livecd.

[15:42] Salut [15:42] #join pyglet [15:42] okay one sec [15:42] I'm not completley helpless, I'm very familiar with the commandl line, but I have no idea where to start looking on this.

Usually it works well on fresh install. What am i supposed to do now? [16:03] WalterN: If you _really_ want that, you can recompile your kernel with the settings you want.

[16:10] bekks tks [16:11] WalterN: "under the impression" "certain flags" "some assembly" - sounds like marketing buzzword bingo. [16:11] heh [16:12] WalterN: You cant name a single flag, dont you?

[16:56] Krenair: By browsers. === Myr is now known as Myr|Away [16:58] in linux the distro tends to control them [16:58] most have a ca-certs package [16:59] i am on [16:59] litropy: i assume you followed instructions from the omgubuntu article to get google voice alerts? did you take a look at some of the bugs for gvoice-alerts at https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvoice-notifier yet? [17:01] glitsj16, I'm not even there yet. I don't have a "messaging menu" [17:02] glitsj16, and Thunderbird's menu is populated with nothing. When I click it, a tiny menu consisting of only the border padding shows up. [17:05] litropy: don't know about thunderbird .. i think the indicator-messages icon combines many indicators from e-mail, chat and notify-osd etc. .. if you don't have any of those installed it would make sense that the menu is quite empty .. related to gvoice-alerts i saw a bug there that doesn't let it start if gnome-keyring is locked, what also could explain why it doesn't even start to populate the indicator [17:06] litropy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvoice-notifier/+bug/774930 mentions a possible fix you might try [17:06] Launchpad bug 774930 in Google Voice Notifier "Error when started before gnome-keyring is unlocked" [Undecided,New] [17:06] Ubuntu client at work (the first one) could connect to MS-servers in the standard microsoft domain, also to internet, but nog to ms-servers on other internal domains. [17:07] glitsj16, Thunderbird has my email. The menu does not. [17:07] Had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4 [17:08] Does that mean internal dns nog configured right on our dns servers or is it Ubuntu to set NOTFOUND before dns [17:09] hi all I have a problem with the new version of ubuntu: I installed it, but at the end it didn't install grub, now I'm on live cd, what can I do? [17:09] !!! PEOPLE I SOLVED ath9k atheros PROBLEM [17:09] KornKage2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:10] gnome gui sucks at connecting [17:10] used wicd and is working now [17:11] "!list" [17:11] hello [17:11] KornKage2, great :) [17:12] is there any other way to have the terminal on the GUI apart from "dash home"? === ubuntu is now known as Guest97177 [17:12] with gnome it owuld connect for like 2secs, and it would drop dead [17:13] now im having another problem, when i choose to restart ubuntu, ubuntu just goes back to main login menu, instead of restarting back from bios [17:13] is that normal? [17:13] but only sometimes [17:14] sometimes it goes back to boot i think it should be [17:16] Is there an easy way to make html5 not totally jerky when I'm watching youtube videos? [17:16] litropy: long-shot .. it might be that thunderbird needs white-listing to show in unity-tray .. you'll need to use dconf-editor (which is in dconf-tools package) and check/add thunderbird to com.canonical.Unity.Panel stanza [17:18] what command could I use to remotely, securely and rapidly (with compression) copy (=backup) the content of one folder (its subfolders, files, whether hidden or not, symlink content, ...), so that any further copy would only make diffs rather than copy it all again ? [17:18] kristenB: scp ? [17:18] kristenB: look into rsync [17:18] rsync over ssh [17:19] Falc: how to do rsync over ssh ? [17:19] rsync + grsync over ssh, incremental [17:19] OerHeks: what's grsync? [17:19] grsync is a Gui for rsync [17:20] it's okay I could do with just the command line, if it gets the job done [17:20] does rsync copy hidden files and symlinks too? [17:21] kristenB: rsync ,all is in your control. [17:21] kristenB: exclude some files dirs [17:21] dulio: does it do compression toO? [17:21] how do i add the option to "modprobe ath9k"(my wireless) to ubuntu's boot? [17:21] you can copy symlinks as symlinks, or have rsync transform them into real folders/files [17:21] kristenB, sure, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync/ [17:22] -z option does compression [17:22] why not just do rsync --help ? :) [17:22] kristenB: maybe a strong "man" can help you [17:22] okay rsync over ssh that sounds good. So what would the whole command line look like ? [17:22] I installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop. I do not have the menu/time on the right top edge. how can I get it? [17:24] Hello, I was wondering if someone could provide some help or pointers with sshfs. I cannot tell if the problem is my system or the server's end. When in terminal I do the following command, [ ]'s are descriptions: sshfs idmap=user [myusername]@[serveraddress]: ~/[folder], what happens is that it prompts me for my password, i enter it, and then the type cursor just blinks and nothing else happens [17:24] So I have a system that contains only an SSD, some sort of Toshiba make, and I find that after a certain length of time the system will start having conniptions of errors on that SSD's ext4 partition, eventually causing the kernel to lock the entire filesystem to no obvious benefit to anyone. I know that my alignment is off, since my partition's unit size isn't 512KiB, but would an alignment issue such as that eventually screw up t [17:24] he whole system? [17:24] I can provide a dmesg log, I think [17:25] DaDaDOSPrompt, how did you mount your ssd? did you use Discard to enable TRIM ? [17:26] DaDaDOSPrompt, this is my mountline> UUID= / ext4 noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 [17:26] KornKage2: if you got it working ok (shows in lsmod | grep ath9k) you can add it to /etc/modules [17:26] yes, TRIM is enabled. anything that can be done inside of fstab, including discard,noatime,nodiratime, is up [17:26] oke [17:26] I've also toyed a bit with that drive's scheduler [17:26] could someone help me install themes in gnome-shell? every time I try it says permission denied [17:27] changed to deadline in /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler [17:27] feel as if someone wanted me to enable or disable an elevator param as well, but I forgot where I saw that suggestion and haven't tried it === root is now known as Guest53742 [17:28] I reckon if realigning the drive doesn't work, I'll have to try something else, such as flashing it back to its original windows install to see if Windows eventually gives up the ghost after a span of time [17:28] Everytime I try to move an extracted folder I download from gnome-look to .themes folder it says permisison denied or don't have permission [17:29] robertzaccour, open nautilus with gksudo > gksudo nautilus & [17:29] OerHeks, huh? [17:30] then you have permissions to do as you like [17:31] OerHeks, how do I open nautilus with gksudo? [17:32] robertzaccour, open nautilus with gksudo > gksudo nautilus & [17:32] robertzaccour: in a terminal type gksudo nautilus & [17:32] er that [17:32] eh sorry, from terminal indeed. [17:33] Can somebody give me a hint on how to add a calendar (GtkCalendar) to an application indicator written in Python? I found examples on how to add regular menus, but nothing about adding more complex items. [17:33] weird though that robertzaccour needs sudo powers to extract to his ~/.themes folder no? [17:34] glitsj16: Yes, weird. [17:34] depends on the owner of the archive I guess... [17:34] perhaps not the ./themes but the source [17:34] how can I check the write speed of my partition? [17:34] Unless I misread [17:34] glitsj16, if he wants it in /usr/share/themes ... [17:34] L3top: that would make sense yes [17:35] ok [17:35] ok did it thanks [17:35] aristidesfl: use the disk utility. comes with ubuntu. [17:36] i7c I don't have graphics interface [17:36] L3top: It doesnt depend on the permissions inside the archive at all. [17:36] can the disk utility alter the unit size of the partition? [17:36] for that matter, can any GUI tool do that? [17:36] if not, then how does Ubuntu's installer handle a 3TB+ sized HDD? [17:36] DaDaDOSPrompt: gparted can, yes. disk utility not. [17:36] DaDaDOSPrompt: No. Yes. Gparted is the tool you are looking for. [17:36] ah [17:36] is that an advanced option in gparted? [17:36] DaDaDOSPrompt: It handles big disks fine. [17:37] DaDaDOSPrompt: You can just use the disk. [17:37] DaDaDOSPrompt: not really. but you cannot change partition size of any device which is mounted. [17:37] I ask because most all of my SSDs seem to be defaulting to a 512 byte block size [17:37] DaDaDOSPrompt: And? [17:37] whereas apparently 512KiB is preferable [17:37] DaDaDOSPrompt: No. :) [17:37] You sure about that? [17:37] DaDaDOSPrompt: Dont mix up logical blocksize of the fs with the physical blocksize of the device. [17:38] DaDaDOSPrompt: 1000% sure. :) [17:38] many good guides indicate that aligning the FS unit size to the physical erase block size on the device is de rigeur to preserve the lifetime of the SSD's flash [17:39] granted, that alone doesn't explain my own issues, by my reckoning [17:40] DaDaDOSPrompt: Alignment and blocksize are different things. [17:40] very well [17:40] I am willing to acknowledge that much [17:42] I'm running firefox 13 and html5 youtube is really jerky. Is there a way to fix that? [17:43] DaDaDOSPrompt, 512KiB blocks would be a little too big [17:43] why so? [17:43] how can I check the write speed of my partition? [17:43] DaDaDOSPrompt, where by little I mean something like 100x too big [17:43] that is, from what I've read, a common erase block size [17:44] flash memory, if my own memory serves, tends to favor tremendous erase block sizes in that neighborhood of 1024 * 512 bytes [17:44] !info hdparm [17:44] hdparm (source: hdparm): tune hard disk parameters for high performance. In component main, is standard. Version 9.37-0ubuntu3.1 (precise), package size 90 kB, installed size 262 kB [17:44] far bigger than the default that the installer gave me, which was 1 * 512 b [17:44] DaDaDOSPrompt, but you don't want your logical blocks to be that big. that would mean an empty file will take 512Kb of disk [17:44] in theory, sure [17:45] in practice we're talking about flash memory paired to compression and write-amp firmware === aristide_ is now known as aristidesfl [17:45] not to mention, with judicious TRIMming and attention to keeping spare space at recommended levels [17:45] should run pretty decently despite [17:45] aristidesfl, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/87035/how-to-check-hard-disk-performance [17:46] and I'm not even going to speculate about firmware-internal GC efforts === jglauche__ is now known as jglauche [17:46] alas, I've tried quite a few things trying to get my SSDs to behave, but I seem to be missing the secret sauce [17:46] and that unit calibration business appears to be about the only thing left, practically [17:47] imnichol: what processor and graphics does your computer have? [17:47] help - how to configure dns servers during net install [17:47] ? [17:48] i need to hide an user in the lightdm greeter, but insert its name in /etc/lighdm/users.conf doesn't work 'couse in ubuntu is installed accountsservice (i don't kown its aim). do you know a solution? [17:48] DarwinSurvivor, AMD proc and NVidia graphics card [17:49] imnichol: do you know which models or specs (processor speed, number of cores; graphics memory, speed)? [17:49] DaDaDOSPrompt, I would just use a standard 4k block size. you have to run through the firmware anyways and trying to set your logical block size to the EBS is just going to mean that the kernel is going to be forced to do all the work that firmware was going to do anyways. [17:49] DarwinSurvivor, lemme check [17:49] that's an interesting point of view [17:50] still, the big problem I have is that something is making my SSD crap out so bad that my kernel write-locks the filesystem [17:50] just can't figure out what it would be [17:50] maperi you can hide all users from login > answer #1 http://askubuntu.com/questions/68953/dont-list-all-users-at-login-with-lightdm [17:51] imnichol: lspci -nn | grep VGA [17:51] DaDaDOSPrompt, in some alternate universe where we don't have to deal with their ridiculous firmware and the linux kernel can do the wear leveling you would tune the fs to match the EBS, but in this universe its probably better to just use the parameters they have tuned for [17:51] DarwinSurvivor, GForce 9500 [17:51] Quadcore AMD x64 proc, don't know the model [17:51] Thanks L3top [17:51] OerHeks, i konw, but i want the other users still listed, thx anyway [17:52] who is they, and for what are they tuning? [17:52] I've mounter /dev/sda3 on /mnt/media but I don't have write access. Should I change permissions or mount somewhere else? [17:52] mapreri: your only other option until bug 857651 is fixed is to create the user with uid < 1000 [17:52] aristidesfl, have you tried chown and chmod commands on the mounted filesystem? [17:52] Launchpad bug 857651 in accountsservice (Ubuntu) "Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/857651 [17:52] DaDaDOSPrompt, is the the firmware manufacturing. and they are tuning their firmware to optimize performance for an NTFS filesystem [17:52] mapreri, i am not sure this works > http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-login-screen [17:52] DaDaDOSPrompt no I will [17:52] aristidesfl, what is the output of "mount" [17:53] oh, you mean the NTFS wouldn't be calibrated along block sizes? Hard to say what happens, I guess, since Windows appears to handle all the SSD tuning behind the scenes. [17:53] escott /dev/sda3 on /mnt/media type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) [17:53] mapreri, i think the option from trism works. [17:53] L3top: can you post the output of "cat /proc/lspci" to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [17:53] L3top: oops, typo, make that "cat /proc/cpuinfo" :P [17:54] OerHeks, trism, i'll read the bug [17:54] aristidesfl, since that is ext4 the permissions are going to be preserved from system to system. if this is coming from another linux system make sure your uid matches the other system uid [17:54] escott I just created the filesystem [17:54] it's empty [17:55] imnichol: DarwinSurvivor cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -Ei '(model\ name|mhz|cores|cache\ size)' [17:55] L3top: oops, sorry, sent that to the wrong person [17:55] aristidesfl, then you need to (mkdir if you want) and chown to your username "sudo chown username:username /mnt/media/whatever" === Myr|Away is now known as Myr [17:56] how to set nick and password in irc? [17:56] escott can I chown /mnt/media [17:56] DarwinSurvivor, It doesn't actually tell me what type of Proc I have, just that it's two dualcore AMD procs. (It's actually a quad core) [17:56] aristidesfl, sure [17:57] A cluster using MPI should all nodes have the same processor architecture? [17:57] imnichol: can you post the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA I need a number out of there. [17:57] L3top, which number? [17:57] This number? 10de:0640 [17:58] 0640. [17:58] thats gonna be the issue I bet [17:58] What's it mean? [17:59] imnichol: well, those specs should run most html5 video not "too" badly (could be stuttery at high def though). Have you installed the binary graphics drivers? [17:59] DarwinSurvivor, I think so. Lemme check [17:59] imnichol: scratch that. apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed [17:59] Installed: 295.40-0ubuntu1 [17:59] L3top, there ya go [18:00] That's a bit odd then imnichol. I would try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates [18:00] L3top, ok that one isn't activated. [18:00] OerHeks, , the solution in askubuntu is the one doesn't work. instead changing the uid under 1000 works fine. thx a lot :) trism [18:01] DarwinSurvivor, L3top, I'll install and report back ;) [18:01] imnichol: the .40 driver did have a regression issue.

[18:29] goddard: please be specific. Do you want something "integrated" into gnome, or just avoid KDE libs? [18:30] mah454: Can you please try with sudo apt-get autoremove? You may have those packages, which are not needed, and making conflicts. Please, tell me if it uninstalls anything. === roman is now known as Guest44509 [18:30] DarkSim: Your printer has only been verified on 1010. and there is this * Note: The later sections of this article under 'Adding a printer' and 'Troubleshooting' suggest using 'ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0'. That works, but you have to ensure /var/ccp/fifo0 exists with correct ownership/mode. Using 'ccp://localhost:59787' is simpler as it requires no extra steps involving fifo file. under 1204 general. Again. I would stick with the [18:30] Canon .deb from their website. [18:31] I have a problem with my Nvidia graphics driver configuring multiple monitors. I'm running Ubuntu version 12.04 on a Dell Latitude E6410. When I go to system settings and go to “Display and Monitor”, I am get the following output: “Your X server does not support resizing and rotating the display. Please update to version 4.3 or greater. You need X Resize, Rotate, and Reflect extension (RANDR) version 1.1 or greater to use [18:31] this feature,” but I expected it to let me configure my monitors. [18:31] Would you be so kind and link that [18:31] so I don't take the wrong turn somewhere [18:31] JoseeAntonioR: Please view this : http://pastebin.com/SsTppZBN [18:31] DarwinSurvivor: I dont want a keyring or something like lastpass ... I'm talking about something to manually store passwords with maybe a name or descriptions [18:31] JoseeAntonioR: I don't install or remove only packages ... [18:32] JoseeAntonioR: Can you install this ? libqt4-dev [18:32] DarwinSurvivor: avoid KDE libs isn't required but would be good [18:32] goddard: I'm trying to figure out what your "gnome" requirement is. Keepassx has VERY few dependencies if that is your concern [18:32] mah454: Yes, I can. Give me a second, I'll give you a long command which you should run via PM. [18:32] Pretty please? [18:33] JoseeAntonioR: please do NOT send commands via PM. this is to avoid "griefers" and ensure that everyone is getting accurate help === michael is now known as Guest38851 [18:33] JoseeAntonioR: if you need to send a long command (or script), please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:34] Cannot. Am too busy to even be in here really. Electricity out... working off of a generator... time is limited DarkSim. [18:34] mah454: can you post the output of "sudo apt-get update"? [18:34] DarwinSurvivor: yes , please wait ... [18:35] Oh ok L3top, thanks anyway [18:35] mah454: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068147/ should remove all the packages which are trying to be re-installed. After that, you should be able to solve the conflict and install the whole library.

I found something but it seems old [18:38] caravel: still required in 12.04, it is a work item for 12.10: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-q-ubiquity-lvm-luks [18:39] JoseeAntonioR: I'm sorry ! your command remove all this packages ! http://pastebin.com/VxH9bB97 [18:39] ok, good trism thanks. What with the dvd = [18:39] ? [18:39] JoseeAntonioR: run this ? [18:39] Is it a bad idea to buy a macbook pro to run ubuntu? [18:39] SrPx: Way too expensive for running Ubuntu ;) [18:40] caravel: I don't know if the dvd supports it, sorry [18:40] mah454: Don't run it. It wasn't supposed to remove all of that. [18:40] mah454: have you tried "sudo apt-get update" yet? You could have an anomaly in there [18:40] DarwinSurvivor: oh I found keypassx i thought it was the same as keypass 2 [18:40] Hi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984949 - When does language-selector run?

[18:40] trism: ok never mind -- plan sounds good, btw, fedora installer does it for a while, maybe could be source of inspiration [18:40] :) [18:40] I downloaded the Canon drivers but I can't run the script that followed the download, help :O [18:41] mah454: You're having a conflict with those packages, which are already installed, and are going to be re-installed with the whole library. [18:41] DarkSim_: "Cant run" means what exactly? [18:41] thanks for your rapid and straight answer trism [18:41] it says that it can't find the commando [18:41] caravel: you're welcome [18:42] I'm supposed to run this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068154/ [18:42] but it doesn't work [18:42] if i install swftools can i program actiopn script on ubuntu === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [18:44] DarwinSurvivor: oops , sorry , ... : http://pastebin.com/X1eFV3UZ [18:47] I've accidentialy found out, that amd64 iso image on one of mirrors gives 403 error [18:47] http://mirror.as29550.net/releases.ubuntu.com//precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso [18:47] DarkSim_: where did you get that installer from?

(The $PATH is correct and otherwise, TeX Live is working fine.) [18:50] can't install pidgin... Depends: pidgin-data (<1:2.10.3-z) but 1:2.10.4-1ubuntu0+pidgin3.11.10 is to be installed [18:50] mah454: make sure you run "update" first [18:50] someone tell me how to resolve this error http://codepad.org/8W839Uxj [18:51] DarwinSurvivor: i updated repository : apt-get update [18:51] mah454: do you have any packages "held back" (to keep them at a specific version)? [18:51] DarwinSurvivor: How can check this ? [18:51] someone help me [18:51] The drivers from Canon themselves didn't work btw [18:51] mah454: sorry, "update" comment was meant for other person [18:51] anyone know where i can manually download a proprietary ubuntu driver? [18:52] Mahmoud: make sure you run "update" first [18:52] Now my printer always says "printing successful" but it never prints anything [18:52] DarwinSurvivor: done [18:52] instead of using the built in ubuntu way [18:52] !details | LordDragon [18:52] LordDragon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:52] I guess I will never ever get that thing fixed :/ [18:52] DarwinSurvivor:view this output : http://pastebin.com/X1eFV3UZ [18:52] DarkSim: you never answered my question. Where did you get the .sh installer? was that from the canon website? [18:53] Yes it was [18:53] DarwinSurvivor: Yes [18:53] DarkSim: alright. run "sudo chmod +x canonLBP_install.sh", then try "sudo ./canonLBP_install.sh....." [18:54] ok well basically. my friend has a laptop. just installed ubuntu. but has no working wifi and no access to ethernet. so she needs SOME way to get net access in order to use "additional drivers" tool in ubuntu. so she wants to download her wifi drivers manually on another computer and than transfer it to her laptop so she can get on the net. is there a repo or place to find all those proprietary drivers? [18:54] DarkSim: chmod +x makes the file executable so the OS knows it's allowed to be run as a binary [18:54] Guys, what's the best desktop search program? [18:54] I've been using catfish, but i don't know what else is out ther. [18:54] find :> [18:54] LordDragon: has she tried using the wired ethernet to download the wifi drivers? [18:54] LordDragon: oops, missed that second sentence [18:55] DarwinSurvivor: in my explaination i said "no access to ethernet" [18:55] yep [18:55] !polls | studio [18:55] studio: 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. [18:56] Mahmoud: and did it fix your problem..? [18:56] studio, hud that is buildin, activate with alt === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [18:57] DarwinSurvivor: didn't [18:57] mah454: If you don't know of any being held back, you probably don't. Though I would VERY HIGHLY recommend NOT loggin in as root (use sudo instead). Unfortunately, you've exhausted my knowledge of apt :( [18:57] DarwinSurvivor: I wrote the whole path to the file when I ran it [18:58] Mahmoud: have you run an upgrade lately (through update manager)? It could be that you need a new kernel for the lib. I suggest doing a full update/upgrade and a reboot, then try again. [18:58] Question, anyone know how to manually get the output after logging into ubuntu server using SSH? the uptime, usage output... [18:58] DarwinSurvivor: done [18:58] DarwinSurvivor: should i also try install pidgin-ppa? [18:58] L3top, So that didn't work either [18:58] Mahmoud: NO, ppa's are unstable and are not supported by the #ubuntu support channel [18:59] DarwinSurvivor: PPAs are unstable when they're unstable. [18:59] DarwinSurvivor: ok, i did sudo apt-get remove pidgin-ppa -- hope this is enough [18:59] is there any list of reposities that i should have enabled, while disabling the rest? i.e. to make sure no bad repos are there [18:59] I can't really get anything more done today, thanks for the help L3top and DarwinSurvivor. I have to check this out more tomorrow [19:00] Mahmoud: LjL: About 50% of all update and install issues I've seen in this channel are caused by conflicts with PPA's for completly unrelated software (ex: skype PPA messing up GoogleEarth) [19:00] I'm afraid I'll just punch the closest wall if I see any more terminals today === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [19:00] DarwinSurvivor: can u give me a list of good ppa's so that i disable the rest [19:00] DarwinSurvivor, PPAs are simply packages, and they're each made by entirely different people, so it makes little sense to make a sweeping statement that they're "unstable". some of them certainly are. [19:01] Mahmoud: I don't know of any good ones because I haven't had to use one in over 3 years [19:01] DarwinSurvivor: i just want ubuntu's default repos (i guess called ppa's too) [19:02] LjL: They are NOT just "packages". They are entire repositories with unknown numbers of packages and libraries who's versions and dependencies VERY often conflict with those of the standard repos [19:02] Mahmoud: No, not called PPA ;) [19:02] Mahmoud PPA'S are non official software sources [19:02] i see [19:02] Cya tomorrow I guess [19:02] so how can i disable all ppa's? [19:02] LjL: bottom line: they are not supported in #ubuntu and therefore should not be recommended in #ubuntu. If a package is stable and ready for general use, it should be in the standard repo, not a PPA (which is designed or developers and beta testers) [19:03] Mahmoud delete them [19:03] Mahmoud: go into "software sources" and see if there are any 3rd party repositories in there [19:03] DarwinSurvivor: "A PPA is a Personal Package Archive, and is a method of distributing software to users, without requiring developers to undergo the full process of distribution in the main ubuntu repositories. " <- note "users" [19:03] Hey is anyone using XChat here? [19:03] DarwinSurvivor: how to identify whether a repo is 3rd party? [19:04] how to configure dNS server config during net install..? [19:04] Mahmoud if it's not in the repos, it's 3rd party [19:04] LjL: The official stance of Canonical is that they are NOT officially supported sources and should therefore not be recommended in #ubuntu. If you want to change the rules, take it up with an irc moderator. [19:04] Mahmoud ignore my reply [19:04] DarwinSurvivor: i am one [19:04] Mahmoud: just a sec, looking it up [19:05] DarwinSurvivor: and i kindly ask you not to make intentionally inaccurate statements such as generally "PPAs are unstable" [19:05] !ppa-purge | Mahmoud [19:05] Mahmoud: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [19:05] !ppa | LjL [19:05] LjL: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [19:06] DarwinSurvivor: i am well aware of that factoid. where does it talk about "unstable"? [19:06] LjL: that kind of depends on your definition of "unstable". To me, anything that hasn't been properly tested (which the submission system does", shouldn't be considered "stable", thus "unstable" or at the very least very potentially [19:07] damn it. not working. [19:07] Mahmoud: what happened? [19:08] nothing. same issue. i disabled all stuff (except 1-2) in synaptic package manager under"software repos" [19:08] has chromium stop being updated? [19:08] hello, guys! I have a problem booting ubuntu 12.04 since I changed the permissions for an external hard drive.Any help would be appreciated. [19:08] eutheria, no, why do you ask? [19:09] OerHeks, because the latest version i can find it 18 [19:09] the ppa hasn't been updated for 20 weeks [19:09] Mahmoud: did you follow the instructions for ppa-purge? [19:09] eutheria, it will come in softwarecentre, automaticly [19:10] OerHeks, right... ok [19:10] eutheria, we don't support ppa's. wait for the regular update. [19:11] well you would be wrong about it being updated [19:11] arnaldo, details please [19:11] OerHeks, i am talking about the browser not the game [19:12] Thanls escott. I will give them to you. Hello, guys! I got a problem produced because I changed the permissions of an external hard drive so I can mount it. What procedure did I follow? I just wrote the following on the command line: sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive [19:12] I remember that I used the sd name of the drive I wanted to mount. But I discovered that on ubuntu 12.04 we are dealing with labels and not the sd names. Later I entered another command in order to fix it but I did not work. I would like to know what command could I use so I can figure out the current situation and the work on it to fix it. [19:12] Though it worked one time it no longer works. Now I am having the difficulty that the system won´t boot unless I restart the system manually on the black screen. Now every time I try to mount the external hard drive I get the following error: [19:12] arnaldo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:12] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [19:12] mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 [19:12] eutheria: we need to wait for bug 992212 to be fixed (nobody is really maintaining chromium at the moment though) [19:12] Launchpad bug 992212 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu Quantal) "chromium-browser FTBFS in quantal" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/992212 [19:12] eutheria, i understoon chromium-browser, and issues with your ppa, i cannot answer. [19:13] OerHeks, i said it had not been updated... [19:13] nobody is, trism?? [19:13] arnaldo, so what does this have to do with booting? you said you had a problem booting? [19:13] i said the ppa had also stopped updating [19:13] DarwinSurvivor: finally worked [19:13] OerHeks, you just saw ppa and didn't think what i was ask [19:13] ing [19:13] DarwinSurvivor: i had to remove pidgin-data manually, then install it manually again... dunno why i had to do it this way [19:14] Mahmoud: weird, but at least it's working now :) [19:14] eutheria, i do not understand why you use a ppa. chromium-browser 18 is available tru NORMAL REGULAR updates. [19:15] OerHeks, because v18 is not even supported any more [19:15] OerHeks: the ppa maintainer was the same person maintaining it in universe, but he stopped working on it [19:16] wrong, eutheria .. remove the chromium ppa, reload, and voila, chromium 18. [19:16] OerHeks, i tend to use ppa's as i like certain things to be more up to date that is [19:16] Everytime I boot I have to choose what kernel I want to load and then it says that a driver cannot be mounted. So I have to skip the mounting process pressing S. Later I have to reboot because the booting process got stuck. === michael is now known as Guest14805 [19:16] OerHeks, are you actually being stupid? or did you not understand version 18 is very old and not supported any more.. it also has a limited set of features that i don't care for in the developer tools [19:16] eutheria: until someone starts working on chromium again, you may be better off using google-chrome to stay up to date (unfortunately) [19:17] arnaldo, what is the exact error message "a driver cannot be mounted" doesn't make sense [19:17] trism, i just thought it was me not being able to find the right ppa [19:17] sad really, i like having a number of browsers [19:17] eutheria: I'm sure someone will pick it up soon enough, there are updates in sid, so people are working on debs, just not in ubuntu at the moment [19:17] eutheria, thank you. you asked " OerHeks, because the latest version i can find it 18" [19:18] eutheria, i feel i cannot help you. good luck [19:19] trism, I hope so, seems sad that chromium seems to have stagnated [19:19] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [19:19] mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 [19:19] arnaldo, simple type sudo !!

I'm trying to add a boot option to the Grub2. But I do not know what to add where in the grub.cfg exactly. Could anyone help me on the topic; please? [19:29] Elvano: you don't edit grub.cfg [19:29] whoa , sorry for the mistake i meant mtab [19:29] !grub [19:29] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [19:29] Elvano: grub2 doesn't work with grub.cfg IIRC. Try /etc/grub.d [19:29] Elvano: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and add it in the quotes with: quiet splash then run: sudo update-grub [19:29] manowar3: grub.cfg is generated using the grub config files :) [19:30] ActionParsnip: I know, I said it doesn't work with grub.cfg and it uses /etc/grub.d/ [19:30] ActionParsnip: isn't it the place to add new entries to the grub menu? [19:31] Nemo I tried what you mentioned and it worked. Now I can mount the drive after using that command. Though I would like to fix the boot problem. [19:31] manowar3: edit /etc/default/grub it's where you add boot options in an installed OS [19:32] thx ActionParsnip [19:32] ActionParsnip: oh I didn't read the question right then, he wanted an option, not an entry :) [19:32] ActionParsnip: thanks for the new tip regarding /etc/default/grub [19:32] will try the 2D version of Unity, but when that works...there should be a solution for the 3D version too :P [19:33] Perhaps I should explain my whole situation. I Have copied my Ubuntu partition to a larger disc. I was following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MovingLinuxPartition up to Step 5. I find it put rather onfussing and also I would like to add a boot option rather than to replace my old one. [19:33] arnaldo, no pb , but also normally there is even no need to use mount [19:33] Priyantha: no idea dude, its good to test with that. 2D doesn't use junky compiz :D [19:34] ah :D [19:34] compiz has to be dead :+ [19:34] i wish [19:34] ActionParsnip, I have also to congratulate you for the amazing work as an helper there you did [19:35] nemo: hehe I try. Thanks dude. [19:35] That is the extenal hard drive that I wanted to mount escott. [19:35] The tutorial states that it is made for Grub 2, yet it tells me to mess with the grub.cfg [19:35] Priyantha 2D will no longer be available in the next ubuntu release [19:36] ah nice MonkeyDust :P [19:36] arnaldo, i want to know what the /etc/fstab entry is [19:36] ActionParsnip, it is not dude but yes you deserved it for very long [19:36] and then we are all doomed for the Compiz shizzle ? [19:36] Elvano: its old or wrong, the grub.cfg file is generated when you run: update-grub or when a new kernel is added (which then reruns the same command) [19:36] nemo: I call everyone dude, even my mum [19:37] ActionParsnip, oh gosh , yeah i learned in the usa they call everyone guy [19:37] Elvano: so you add it in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub this will apply the new boot option to the standing kernels as well as future kernels [19:37] hello when I type this in command line "gnome-volume-control" it says command not found [19:37] I am understanding you correctly escott, you want to know the output of the sudo blkid command. right? [19:37] lol [19:37] arnaldo: No. :) [19:37] nemo: ha, don't ask where the loo is in usa :) [19:38] nemo: you'll get "who is lou?" [19:38] arnaldo: He wants one single line from the file /etc/fstab [19:38] arnaldo, what i meant is that generally you just mount it in nautilus [19:38] arnaldo, no you aren't understanding me. i saw when you gave me the blkid line. i want the fstab line [19:38] Do I still have to take Step 6: Update MBR to point the new grub afterwards? @ ActionParsnip [19:38] tking: search http://packages.ubuntu.com and you can see what package contains that binary [19:38] ActionParsnip, xD [19:39] Elvano: after you add the option, run: sudo update-grub then mbr is untouched but the grub config is updated [19:39] I'll give it a try. Thank you. @ ActionParsnip [19:40] ActionParsnip, alt+f2 shows it but i cant run it [19:40] Elvano: np dude [19:41] tking: try: grep -R volume /usr/share/applications; ls /usr/bin | grep volume [19:41] tking: may give clues === william is now known as Guest12907 [19:41] How can i give you the fstab?

[19:42] arnaldo, we only need the one line in fstab the references that UUID or mountpoint [19:42] xbhya, there is a ubuntu supported hardware data base i have seen [19:43] nemo arent dell pcs preferred with ubuntu? [19:43] ActionParsnip, this is the result i got http://pastebin.com/JbSba405 [19:44] ariana, lol even simpler there is some system76 ubuntu preinstalled systems [19:44] hey [19:44] arnaldo, having trouble copying the file ? [19:45] tking: try: which gnome-volume-control [19:45] hello everyone this is my first irc room ever should I join? and how to join [19:45] sinekonata: You already joined :) [19:45] how? [19:45] sinekonata: you are in the #ubuntu channel already :) [19:45] ActionParsnip, nothing happened [19:45] tking: hmm, weird [19:46] yeah but I mean sign up [19:46] and keep this name [19:46] !register > sinekonata [19:46] sinekonata, please see my private message [19:46] Anyone know if they're working on a fix for the battery recognition errors for latops in 12.10? [19:46] laptops* [19:47] I don't mean to be a bother or seem ignorant, but What line should I add? There are no examples in the file or anything o-o. @ ActionParsnip [19:48] Elvano: you add the boot option in the quotes, so if you want to disable ipv6, you can change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1" [19:49] Elvano: you don't just add stuff because the whim takes you, the boot options are to achieve a goal [19:49] Guest12907: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Quantal support please [19:49] ActionParsnip: I tried the 2D version [19:50] but it didn't solve it :( [19:50] it's still the same :( [19:50] I think I got that one nemo thanks to my flooding earlier. The output of the sudo blkid comand is here :http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068261/ [19:50] Guest12907: there will be a LOT of errors in Quantal as it is pre-release, if you need a functional OS I suggest you stick with Precise. [19:50] My apologies, I meant 12.04 [19:50] I'm running 12.04 [19:50] Evening all. I have Windows 8 running in VirtualBox under Ubuntu 12.04 - can someone tell me how to access my files in VirtualBox? [19:50] Guest12907: are there bugs reported for your system? [19:51] Zyewni, U should have shared folder [19:51] I've noticed several forum posts reporting the same bug, but I haven't checked the bug tracking system yet [19:51] Zyewni, you might install the guest additions, although they may only work in the other direction [19:51] I selected the appropriate folder as a shared folder, but I don't seem to be able to access it from Win8 [19:51] anyone know why my microphone volume reduces itself right when am looking at it. I increase it and b4 i minimize or close the dialogue box it start going down on its own [19:52] Zyewni, have U checked to mount it during start? [19:52] Yes [19:53] I'll look into guest additions. My question might be more of a Windows 8 question than an Ubuntu question [19:53] hi === Sheherazade is now known as Latika [19:53] I do however have a partitioning question as well [19:54] I went into Win7 and defragged the disk and ran checkdisk - everythings normal. But despite having over 200GB showing up as free space, Win7 won't let me shrink that partition beyond about 260GB. If I do it in GParted, am I going to fuck something up? [19:55] Zyewni: control your language here, please [19:55] (I'm dual-booting Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04) [19:55] sorry [19:55] Had some rum and tequila at this point [19:55] Am I going to fubar my win7 partition if I shrink it in GParted? [19:56] Zyewni, you should run a live disk like gparted live and shrink it like that. [19:56] And that should be fine? [19:56] thanks for the help and patience. I am leaving now. [19:56] It should be fine, though, as long as you don't move the start point. [19:57] If you move the partition's start point, it can mess it up and the MBR might lose track of it. [19:57] I have GParted already loaded into a USB, that's how I've been partitioning [19:57] for example on this site: http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/ I am getting a lot of screen flickerings [19:57] I'm just confused why Windows would tell me I can't shrink it, even though there's plenty of free space. [19:57] that's even without transpanrancy to my Gnome-Terminal [19:57] it's just there... [19:58] Can't get Java to work in Chrome or Firefox. Anyone managed to get it to work? [19:58] Zyewni, are you trying to shrink windows while using windows? [19:58] Yes [19:58] it's like the backlight in my screen is on/of very fast [19:58] If so, it's because you're using the partitions. [19:58] It's worked up until this point [19:58] Your pc is connected to and usign the drive. [19:58] It has to unmount the drive to change it. [19:58] Idiamond, I installed it in Firefox, and Chrome caught on [19:58] Priyantha: what make and model is the system [19:58] So do it from a live cd, where you're not using an os on your pc. [19:58] I've previously shrunk that partition successfully from Win7 a few times [19:58] that way you can unmount all your partitions/drives. [19:59] Yea, but they weren't the C partition, were they? [19:59] studio: sudo umount -a [19:59] Yes, it was [19:59] It's a HP Elitebook 8560w ActionParsnip [19:59] studio: you can eject drives, not unmount them [19:59] Win7 was shrinking its own partition [19:59] Zyewni, how did you install it? [19:59] with a Nvidia Quadro 2000M and a DreamCOlor 2 screen [19:59] Zyewni, I didn't know y9ou could do that. Listen to ActionParsnip. He's a smart guy. He knows more about it than me. [20:00] Ok, so it should be fine to boot up into GParted and shrink it down? [20:00] yes, but not to move it's starting point. [20:00] Priyantha: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [20:01] studio: Wouldn't dream of it lol [20:01] good luck [20:02] Thanks for the help guys, I gotta run. I hear the baby crying in the other room. [20:02] Priyantha: seems it has that switchable GPU junk, is that right? [20:02] why does the linux system use binaries instead of scripts for such commands as ls cd [20:02] nope it doesn't ActionParsnip :) [20:02] HP disabled that junk [20:02] fellayaboy, speed [20:02] Priyantha: good [20:02] i see [20:02] fellayaboy, it's better. [20:02] oh ok its just faster [20:02] because it's a Workstation they didn't want that junk :) [20:02] and I don't want it either :P [20:03] root@HP-EliteBook-8560w:~# lsb_release -sc [20:03] precise [20:03] I am using the latest 12.04 version [20:03] studio its better how...just in speed..is there anything else besides the speed [20:03] with the latest Nvidia drivers from the official ubuntu repo [20:03] no ppa's installed yet [20:04] Hey I was wondering if anyone could recommend a software package (maybe 2 different ones) that could 1. convert file formats ie. .flv > .mp4 and 2. A package that can splice/split video files? [20:04] ffmpeg to convert files [20:04] avconvert [20:04] mencoder [20:04] :) [20:05] or winff [20:05] guis converter [20:05] fellayaboy: your origional question (scripts vs programs) dosen't make sense. scripts call programs usually... [20:06] Miguelito: if you're interested in MP4 output, check out Handbrake (not in default repo, but PPAs available). Ubuntu repo ffmpeg/avconvert probably can't do mp4 output :( === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk === XLV_ is now known as XLV [20:06] I've noticed a lot of people with laptop battery issues with 12.04. I can get the battery to work, but if I unplug the AC adapter and try plugging it back in, it will not recognize my battery. The only fix is to shut down, remove the battery, boot on AC, and plug the battery back in. Windows 7 and earlier versions of Ubuntu don't have issue with this [20:06] Any idea of how to fix this? [20:06] oh Handbrake yes [20:07] now that i've decided to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 the update manager doesn't have a link --- the only setting i can find is set to be notified of any system upgrade --- what's the next step? [20:07] zacktu, if everything is backed up and you are ready to get your system borked at worse [20:08] Priyantha: try the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor [20:08] Hi [20:08] iwill [20:09] Miguelito, do a compile of latest ffmpeg + x264 from git seems to be the way [20:09] nemo: i've synced /home and also used clonezilla for an image of all partitions -- i'm feeling like an upgrade rather than a reinstall today [20:09] anyone know how to get Firefox/Chrome to pickup the Java plugin? [20:09] I use windows eight is it good [20:09] mmmm [20:09] ldiamond: openjava? installed icedtea6-plugin [20:09] brontosaurusrex, hmmm i would need asst with that [20:09] just "vendor" ActionParsnip ? [20:10] of replace it with "HP"? [20:10] zykotick9, no, Oracle JAva [20:10] I use closenjava [20:10] I msg yall [20:10] zacktu, well if you are ready to take the plunge , it is update-manager -d [20:10] java -version works fine. [20:10] Miguelito, i havent done it a while on nix, but i do ocasional osx builds [20:11] I learn about money more then i forgot [20:11] I have a symlink in ~/.mozilla/plugins to libnpjp2.so [20:11] nemo: maybe i wasn't clear -- update manager usually has a link for an upgrade in the window --- there's no link so i need an alternate way to upgrade [20:11] nothing working. [20:11] I updated the grub, it detected a whole lot of boots, yet when I select the new boot (on sda4) I get refered to my old partition (on sda1). (Elvano here) @ ActionParsnip [20:11] nemo: okay i'll do that -- thanx [20:11] Can someone speak with me [20:11] hola [20:11] zacktu, 12.04 will only show once it reaches 12.04.1 [20:11] Pussysale: please keep to ubuntu support issues [20:12] I am gonna reboot, and but " [20:12] necesito ayuda [20:12] isnt unity 3d like compfiz or whatever??

[20:28] never really looked to see if they where kde or whichever that mighta been why some of the stuff i dl never worked lol [20:29] Hello guys. [20:29] oh ok thx [20:29] I appear to have a problem every time I try to install Twisted, so an IRC bot will run. [20:29] The error is something to do with GCC [20:29] error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 [20:29] Smack what's Twisted? [20:29] Smack: have you asked in #c++ [20:29] It's something for PYthon. [20:29] is unity and compfiz the same type of software?? [20:30] Smack: or #python [20:30] ghostchick, Well, I assume I didn't since it's not working. Though there's no official way to install it, that I know of. [20:30] krr: that means: just type the first 3 letters of a nickname, then hit to autocomplete [20:30] ActionParsnip which one would you suggest to download for use with 11.10 please [20:30] ghostchick, I used this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [20:30] fuzzynurfhurter: unity is a shell, compiz is a window manager [20:30] oupateddie: just go progressively older til you hit gold [20:30] ActionParsnip - Thanks. I'll try in #Python as that seems like a good bet. I just came here first as I assumed it'd be best finding help with Ubuntu. [20:30] ActionParsnip thank I'll do that asap [20:30] oh ok im stilff trying to learn alot of this lol [20:31] MonkeyDust - http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ [20:31] god i hate nvidia on linux: anyone get the 8400gs to work on 12.04? [20:31] guntbert, oh thanks! [20:31] krr: you're welcome :-) [20:32] aaas it's because nvidia developers hate linux [20:32] still aint found nothing to change the login screen and all [20:32] i never trusted nvidia [20:32] MonkeyDust: actually nvidia joined the linux foundation :) [20:32] ActionParsnip there now! :) [20:32] they used to work fine, but lately it seems every card i use is a pain in the ass installing [20:32] fuzzynurfhurter, in ubuntu-tweak change login manager screen [20:32] Hey all, I've got a file with an invalid name on my backup drive. The actual short name of the file is "c:\users\name\pictures\inkscape\path.png". When I try to access/rename/delete the file from command line, I get errors. Any way to fix this? [20:33] I've just switched to Nvidia partly because I've heard people saying it's way better than ATI I've been having trouble with in the past. [20:33] how to find out if a pci device is used by the host system? i need it free to connect it to a virtual machine [20:33] MonkeyDust: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/nvidia-joins-the-linux-foundation/10530 [20:33] ldiamond, gonna check up your trouble [20:33] kingsix: there is no C: in linux [20:34] ghostchick, java itself works perfectly. The only missing part is Firefox/Chrome picking up the plugin. [20:34] kingsix: if you mount the NTFS in Linux you can access the file [20:34] ActionParsnip: correct, it's the literal name of the file [20:34] not the location [20:34] Smack, isn't there a twisted ubuntu package? do you install from source? [20:34] ghostchick, done that too: sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so" "mozilla-javaplugin.so" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" 1 [20:35] sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin [20:35] kingsix: mount the NTFS partition and you can copy the data etc === dio is now known as Guest18428 [20:35] ActionParsnip: I think I didn't explain correctly [20:36] ActionParsnip - Why did you ask if I'd asked in #c++ first by the way? [20:36] I made an exact copy of my Ubuntu installation from partition sda1 to partition sda4. I changed the UUID of my sda4 partition with the "shell> tune2fs -U random /dev/sda4" command on the systemResqueCD-terminal. I updated the grub and it found a couple of new boots. Strangely the first boot, refering to sda4, was refering to the UUID of the sda1 partition. Just as strange is that the second boot, refering to the sda4 partition has the correct UUID, but after [20:36] a longer loading black screen it end up refering to the sda1 partition as well. Has anyone an idea of what I have done wrong? [20:36] Smack: gcc is a c compiler [20:36] ok i have to go back and dl it again [20:36] Oh ok. [20:36] I uninstalled an application from Wine and it's still in the Dash Home, how do I remove it from the Dash? [20:36] kingsix, mount the partition and then delete the file, nice and simple [20:36] hi good evening @ all :) [20:36] ActionParsnip: is there any way I can show you a screenshot? [20:37] kingsix: you can use imgur or imageshack [20:37] !screenshot | kingsix [20:37] kingsix: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [20:37] did anybody know were i can get the backtrack deb pakage for rfidiot ?? [20:37] Spectacle_K: you may find the apps in ~/.config/menus [20:38] crazymindstorm: ask in #backtrack-linux [20:38] Ubuntu.com still not hacked =p [20:38] And if I delete the program from there it will not show up in Dash? I already uninstalled it through Wine. [20:38] Elvano: no need for that [20:38] :D backtrack is ubuntu 10.04 if im right :D [20:39] !backtrack | crazymindstorm [20:39] crazymindstorm: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [20:39] ActionParsnip: i just uploaded it to my server quick: http://www.lynxcode.com/screens/funny-file.jpg [20:39] and i search this 4 ubuntu /mint maya :) [20:39] ubuntu software center is messed up [20:39] crazymindstorm, there is a mint channel hit it up [20:39] ActionParsnip: Will deleting the app from that folder get rid of it in Dash? It's already uninstalled through Wine. SO I don't know why it's still there. [20:40] should i use the main server or usa dam thing aint working right [20:40] Spectacle_K: yes afaik the apps are added in there too (annoying) [20:40] aaas: any progress yet on your nvidia 8400gs? according to nvidia-current in ubuntu 12.04 your card is fully supported through that driver [20:40] kingsix: funky name for a file, considered renaming it? [20:41] ActionParsnip: There's no entry for Diablo. [20:41] fuzzynurfhurter, i use synaptic as for package manager give it a go maybe [20:41] ActionParsnip: I've tried. I tried in Windows Explorer, command prompt, Linux terminal, nautilus, I've tried everything [20:41] Diablo was the programme I installed. I uninstalled it, but it's still in the Dash. [20:41] Spectacle_K: try: find $HOME | grep -i diabl [20:41] ActionParsnip: I'm beginning to think my only option is to format the drive [20:42] glitsj16 thanks for your help...it seems that once i plugged in the montior it's working fine... so it looks like the problem is that the machine wont run headless.... if there is no monitors detected, the kernel module doesn't load, then the driver doesn't load, so i cant autologin without a monitor...well until i find a solution [20:42] kingsix: is the partition read only? [20:42] k yeah its telling me E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-tweak [20:42] ActionParsnip: Nothing happened... [20:42] fuzzynurfhurter: did you add the ubuntu-tweak ppa [20:42] ActionParsnip: nope, I was deleting files from backups from a year ago. When it gets to that file, I get an error because of the name [20:42] Question, you know the message it shows when you first log into a ubuntu server about uptime, usage etc... Am I able to show that whenever with a command from the CLI? [20:42] Spectacle_K: just drops back to terminal? [20:42] at the moment im trying to dl the proprietary drivers for ati card [20:43] Yep. [20:43] internet sux [20:43] it is in the .bashrc i guess [20:43] kingsix: i would use command line and make a copy with a new name, then delete the old one [20:43] I just want the thing removed from my dash. [20:43] aaas: you're welcome .. that would make sense [20:43] kingsix: the guys in ##windows will be able to help [20:43] It's already been uninstalled. [20:43] ActionParsnip: alright thanks [20:43] It just won't leave the Dash. [20:43] Spectacle_K: tried logging off and on? [20:43] anyone know the best way to run ubuntu headless [20:44] aaas: there is no single best way to do anything in Ubuntu [20:44] ActionParsnip: Yes, and restarting and fully shutting the computer down and turning it on. [20:44] Spectacle_K: could run: sudo updatedb; locate Diablo; locate diablo [20:44] ActionParsnip well you're assuming a different defintinon of 'best' ;) [20:45] aaas: best means nothing better, its the dictionary definition [20:45] ActionParsnip and people use language in ways that aren't as rigorous as a dictionary ;) [20:45] aaas: I'd install ubuntu server and openssh-server then detach the screen and you have a headless server ready to rock [20:46] ActionParsnip I'm doing that, but X doesn't seem to launch because it doesn't detct the monitor [20:46] aaas: why do you need X, it's headless [20:47] ActionParsnip: I only found some icons. That's it. It isn't telling me why it's still in the Dash. [20:47] hey guys what do I need to edit besides my firewall to have proftpd connectable via my public ip [20:47] shaneo: port forwarding on your router [20:47] ActionParsnip headless just means no monitor, it doesn't mean no X. I need it for X programs [20:47] Hello guys, I'm trying to compile a program depending on Python.h, keep getting "fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory", installed python-dev and python3-dev [20:47] same same [20:48] ActionParsnip, I have the port open but proftpd seems to be broadcasting form 127.0.0.1 [20:48] aaas: you could use x forwarding, just install the apps you want via SSH and connect with the -X -C options, the apps will show on the client but be running on the server [20:48] shaneo: proftpd doesnt broadcast at all. And ONE port isnt enough for FTP, you need two ports at least. [20:48] I'm using 12.04 LTS [20:49] bekks, set in the configuration or set in the router [20:49] shaneo: ftp isn't really that secure at all, have you considered sftp? [20:49] <36DABMCB1> Getting this in update-manager, and can't boot: linux-headers-3.2.0-26-generic: Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-26 but it is not installed [20:49] shaneo: By design. FTP uses one data and one control port. [20:49] ActionParsnip yes I'm doing that but something is keeping programs lilke x2go from running...i think becasue I need to use the console display so i really need x running and fowrading just doesn't work [20:49] ActionParsnip, yes I have I have already gone through the process of signing certs for SSL on my proftpd [20:50] aaas: if you launch a GUI app, like gedit, on the server. Does it run? [20:50] bekks, so add another port in my router? [20:50] shaneo: The second one, yes. [20:50] hi, I got into a little mess, out of ignorance I removed network manager from the terminal, after hours of trying to get it back I finally installed it manually using the .deb package and I have wireless connection back but now I cant get the icon to appear on my dektop panel..I will be grateful for any help [20:50] ActionParsnip i bet it does, but I actually need to get into the console login, not just fowarding [20:51] i still have problems getting my usb modem to work in 10.04. i have installed usb-modeswitch package now [20:51] aaas: but you said you wanted to run gui apps, and yuo can... [20:51] 36DABMCB1, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and say to me what is happening [20:51] ActionParsnip well i need gui apps to have access to the physical display [20:51] bekks, so how do i make it reachable via public ip [20:51] aaas: you could install fluxbox etc and run that, you'll get a desktop then but its a bit overkill. Why do you need the full desktop? [20:51] linuxsage, try nm-applet from a terminal [20:51] shaneo: You have to configure a portforwarding for all needed ports. [20:51] linuxsage: I believe the command is: nm-applet [20:52] ActionParsnip I need access to the the sound system on the computer [20:52] bekks, ok ill add it and than see if it is accesible [20:52] aaas: tried: alsamixer in terminal? [20:52] shaneo: It wont. [20:52] aaas: or gnome-alsamixer over the forwarded X session [20:53] bekks, lol ok [20:53] shaneo: Your prpftpd is listening to localhost (as you described), you have to configure that too. [20:53] i still have problems getting my usb modem to work in 10.04. in newer (x)ubuntus it automatically asks for pin when i insert modem to usb port. how do i get it work likewise in 10.04? i have installed usb-modeswitch package now [20:53] bekks, in proftpd.conf? [20:53] shaneo: Yes. [20:53] <36DABMCB1> ghostchick: It gave me the same message and told me to run apt-get -f install, I'm doing that now. [20:53] ActionParsnip: I tried that and I got this error " error while loading shared libraries: libnm-glib.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [20:53] bekks, ok ill check for the setting [20:53] account: Lucid only has 9 months support left in it, I'd use the newer releases [20:54] ActionParsnip last time certain programs (like ardor) would try and get sound info from display :1 or whatever and not display 0: [20:54] 9 months support is fine for me [20:54] linuxsage: then you'll need the deb for that file too [20:54] ActionParsnip but ill try again [20:54] aaas: sound is seperate to the display dude [20:54] ive had problems with 12, so i prefer 10 as long as its supported [20:54] Will gnome applets work in unity? [20:55] RyuGuns: can't see why not. It's just a shell for Gnome, gnome is running. Try it is all I can advise [20:55] bekks, i dont see anything in the conf regarding localhost [20:55] ActionParsnip: Will it fit into unity, like a unity applet? [20:56] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068364/ [20:56] shaneo: I've used proftpd ten years ago. Since then, I am sticking with vsftpd. [20:57] bekks, ok ill search google than [20:57] thanks for your help though [21:00] ActionParsnip alsamixer cannot open mixer: no such file or directory [21:00] <36DABMCB1> ghostchick: That seemed to do the trick. Well, for update-manager anyway, have to see if I can reboot. Thanks muchly! [21:00] 36DABMCB1, no pb and you are welcome [21:02] hey room [21:03] hello === giovanni is now known as Guest34238 [21:06] ActionParsnip works when x is up I think because user is logged in and sound is setup. I might be able to run whatever is in the user scripts that sets everything up but Im not sure a terminal/forwarding will cut it for what my gf needs to do, so i need to use x2go/nx but again this needs to connect to the physical display... thanks for the ideas though [21:10] is their a file retrieving for ubuntu [21:10] *app [21:12] shaneo, what does that mean? [21:12] shaneo, like filezilla? or dropbox? or UbuntuOne? [21:13] like i deleted them and i need them back [21:13] oh [21:13] !undelete [21:13] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [21:13] Deleted them from the trash? [21:13] andrewaclt, no [21:13] Hey gents. Just stopping by to tell y'all that I got my grub to work by enabling the "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true" option. It turns out that the "root=UUID=***" of all boots was assigned the UUID from my first partition for some reason. I was able to bypass this [21:13] I've undeleted files on ext3 before by grepping through the raw disk image [21:14] like in the xs4all.nl link [21:14] andrewaclt, im gonna give foremost a try and see what it can get back for me [21:14] Elvano, it gets the root argument for the kernel from the fstab [21:14] the folder i deleted only had symlinks in it but when i rm the dir it removed original files as well [21:15] shaneo, that doesn't seem possible [21:15] What is the fstab? ^^;; @ escott [21:15] Elvano, /etc/fstab [21:16] andrewaclt, yeah thats what i thought [21:16] but its all gone [21:16] 200GB worth the stuff [21:16] shaneo, documented here http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=7&topic=symlink [21:17] photorec also [21:17] shaneo, "The rm command operates on the symbolic link, and not the file it references, and therefore never follows a symbolic link." [21:17] Some one has an idea why my Ubuntu is switching mac adresses? [21:17] shaneo: or try foremost [21:18] Eagleman: do you have any config to make it something else? [21:18] Eagleman, like it changes when you 'sudo ip addr' ? [21:18] Not that i know off [21:18] maybe in 70-persistent rules [21:18] Eagleman, running a Vbox image? [21:18] no [21:19] SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="f8:d1:11:10:90:8a", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" [21:19] Eagleman: You may have a card that generates a random mac address at every boot. macchanger -s can set a desired MAC. [21:19] That explains some things [21:19] ActionParsnip, way ahead of ya :) [21:19] ghost thx on that i finally figured how to install those .deb [21:19] bekks will it help to set the ip in "70-persistent-net.rules? [21:19] mac* [21:19] Eagleman: No. BEcause an IP isnt set there. [21:19] anyone who has any idea about the python.h no such file or directory error? [21:20] Eagleman: it is much more easier to set it at the end of the boot in /etc/rc.local [21:20] the macchanger command? [21:22] So, after clearing up my update-manager problem, I can still not boot into the latest kernel, it just restarts immediately. I must boot into the previous *.25 kernel [21:22] Hi guys, i was wondering, is there anyone that is running 2 video cards (prefferably nvidia and intel) willing to look at my xorg.conf ? i cant seem to get an extended desktop running of it [21:22] i also have my question posted at askubuntu (for several days) without a reply :( http://askubuntu.com/questions/156257/2-monitors-2-video-cards-extend-desktop [21:22] ActionParsnip, do you know if foremost will find mkv files or will i need to add something to the conf [21:22] hudnix, it is a question of setting up the grub [21:23] bekks setting the macchange command in rc.local? [21:23] sudo update-grub first of all [21:23] Eagleman: Correct. [21:24] ghostchick: just did that (also previously ran the repairboot thing from live CD) [21:24] ominds: according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/python2.7-dev/filelist it is definately in python2.7-dev (assuming you're running ubuntu precise 12.04 that is) [21:25] what is the update of the first command? [21:25] bekks why is f8:d1:11:10:90:8a not working when requesting a WAN IP from my ISP and 8c:89:a5:88:6b:20 is working? [21:25] what is the command to start ubuntu server when it has all booted up? [21:25] (btw gonna go folks) [21:25] i get prompted with a console and thats it.. [21:25] THat did the trick. Thank you very much!!! @ escott [21:25] Eagleman: Because your ISP doesnt let you have two IPs. [21:25] glitsj16: then I guess cmake is not able to detect the path correctly? [21:25] Eagleman: Because your ISP doesnt let you have two MACs. [21:25] jay01: What are you expecting? [21:25] They do === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [21:26] let me have 2 IP's [21:26] ominds: seems like it yes [21:26] jordan_u [21:26] Eagleman: 2 IPs doesnt mean two MACs. [21:26] jordan_u, so there is no GUI ? [21:26] 1 IP is on the router and the other on the server [21:27] ominds: i don't know cmake very well alas, maybe try a websearch on how to feed cmake a specific location to look for it [21:27] Eagleman: Why dont you just use your router as a router then? [21:27] what is the command to start ubuntu server when it has all booted up, i get a console and thats it [21:27] I am doing that bekks for my clients [21:27] Just want a seperate IP for my server [21:28] By the way, ddo i also need to set the mac address on the vlan interface? [21:28] macchanger -m 8c:89:a5:88:6b:20 eth0 [21:28] macchanger -m 8c:89:a5:88:6b:20 eth0.10 [21:28] Or thats not neccesary? [21:29] jay01, that is started [21:29] jay01: Correct, Ubuntu server has no GUI installed by default. You can install one, but for administering a server I don't think it will help you much. [21:29] heh, i guess i have been using windows too much [21:29] ok [21:29] bekks? [21:29] glitsj16: I've searched the net top to bottom. Haven't used cmake before, any way I can see what it's detecting or specify it explicitly? [21:30] Eagleman: Yes? Your setup is way to complicated in my opinion. I guess you have to just test that out. [21:30] Well all this complication is neededdd to get it working [21:30] vlan's and stuff [21:32] Ok its working, thanks bekks [21:32] . [21:32] Also able to pickup that extra ip adress now [21:34] ominds: just had a look at 'man cmake' .. it mentions 2 candidate switches you might give a try: -i and --find-package [21:35] bekks it wont work after an init 6: http://pastebin.com/CHkD3AE4 [21:35] That shows my /etc/rc.local file [21:35] Because in the rc.local, you have to use full paths, since there is no environment set yet. [21:36] so /etc/init.d/macchanger? [21:36] No. [21:36] Thats not the path to the macchanger binary. [21:36] hi [21:36] Any idea where i can find it then? [21:37] Eagleman: By typing "which macchanger" [21:37] Thanks [21:37] i've upgraded to ubuntu 12. something (latest release) and was wondering how to hide the thing with the app launchers on the left? [21:37] ominds: this seems to specify a way to point cmake to where you have the python libs.. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7660001/cmake-finds-wrong-python-libs [21:39] bekks, still not working: /usr/bin/macchanger -m 8c:89:a5:88:6b:20 eth0 [21:40] Daulity: its called "launcher", install and use ccsm to configure it's behavior [21:40] Eagleman: "still not working" means what exactly? [21:40] Its not executing it after the boot since the mac's are still the same [21:41] Eagleman: "the same as..."? [21:41] well if i got this command: /usr/bin/macchanger -m 8c:89:a5:88:6b:20 eth0 [21:42] AAndd i goto ifconfig and look at eth0: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr f8:d1:11:10:90:8a [21:42] hrllo [21:42] i want to add pulseaudi to startup application via terminal [21:43] how i do that? [21:43] thanks! [21:43] So the same as means the same before the boot [21:43] yess === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:43] how to do it via terminal [21:44] <_r00t_> what's the latest kernel on 12.04 ? [21:45] bekks? [21:46] _r00t_: you can search for linux-image at packages.ubuntu.com .. should be 3.2.0.26.28 [21:47] <_r00t_> thanks glitsj16 ... I seem to be running Linux media 3.0.0-17-generic-pae #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:53:35 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux for some bizarre reason [21:48] <_r00t_> 3.0.0.-17+ gave me SATA link errors :/ [21:48] Eagleman, try this: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 [21:49] gr33n7007h there is nothing wrong with the macchange commandd, the only problem is that is not executing from rc.local after a boot [21:49] evening [21:49] _r00t_: you're welcome .. and yes that's weird .. fresh install? [21:49] Eagleman, sorry my bad === Guest90627 is now known as mpw [21:49] no problem [21:50] <_r00t_> glitsj16: upgrade from 10.10->11.04->11.10->12.04 .... the base was 10.10 I'm checking my synaptic at the moment for clues [21:51] _r00t_: 3 hoops .. that might have gotten grub confused .. easily fixed though [21:51] what package do I need to install for rtl8192cu chipset? [21:52] <_r00t_> glitsj16: weird .... but ubuntu thinks the latest kernel available is 3.0.0.22.26 [21:52] how do I use a glade GUI in mono? [21:53] <_r00t_> **** !!!!!!!!!!!! MY BAD ! I'm running oneirc D'Oh [21:53] _r00t_: have you checked your /etc/apt/sources.list to see you have 'precise' repo's in there? [21:53] _r00t_: ahh, no problem [21:54] <_r00t_> glitsj16: :) Didn't have the nerve to do the final upgrade === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ [21:55] _r00t_: always stay with what you .. have nerves for lol === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [21:55] _r00t_: that's what backups are for. So you can do fearless upgrades.... [21:56] <_r00t_> Loshki: yep backup server has now been fixed so I might just go for the upgrade [21:57] does anyone know how to install themes in gnome-shell? [21:57] ghost?? [21:57] robertzaccour: Usually, it requires an add-on package. [21:58] ratcheer, do you know how? [21:58] when trying to use apt-get itsays unable to locate package === Myr is now known as Myr|Away [21:59] robertzaccour: I did it a long time ago, on Natty, I think. But I would have to do research to remember how. [21:59] robertzaccour: have you seen http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/10/how-to-install-and-manage-gnome-shell.html ? [21:59] which run levels are used after an init 6 or normal boot? [22:00] I need help with ftp logins please, I can login http fine but not ftp... help? [22:00] !runlevel [22:00] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:00] Eagleman: 5 [22:00] WHat was the command to set a script in some runlevels? [22:01] I need a script to start on boot [22:01] <_r00t_> Eagleman: I'm an old timer who likes to use sysv-rc-conf [22:01] Eagleman: Are you running Upstart? [22:02] no idea what upstart is, i ussualy use update-rc.d file [22:02] Hi any1 can invite me to freebsd plz ?\ [22:03] unsobill: perhaps you just need to register? !register [22:03] no [22:03] its invite only [22:03] So you cant just join [22:04] Eagleman: I stand corrected, thank you [22:04] <_r00t_> lol no one likes sysv-rc-conf ! My bad http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommend-way-to-enable-disable-services [22:05] ratcheer runlevel 5 shoul be enough? [22:05] unsobill: if you register and identify, you can walk in [22:06] Like ubottu said, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all the same in Ubuntu. [22:07] Is anybody here experienced with x.org? [22:07] Ow i am sorry unsobill i wasnt authenticated, i tought i was [22:07] there should be a way to find a theme, click on it, and install [22:07] robertzaccour: Yes, but there isn't. You have to use an add-on. [22:08] robertzaccour: report a bug and/or suggest on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [22:08] I am trying to install a driver, I get the following error for the "make". According to the instruction, I just need to follow these commands "make > ./clean > insmod 8192cu.ko" . how can I fix the errors? [22:08] error: http://pastebin.com/3GcgSjHB [22:10] angs: why compile as root, its not necessary.. [22:10] angs: linux/smp_lock.h No such file, you need to package with that file [22:12] when I type make without being root, it shows "make: Makefile: Permission denied". is there any hint where I need to place that file? under what directory? [22:12] Eagleman, can you invite me in ? [22:13] unsobill you have to register [22:13] visit #help and ask how to [22:13] angs, the permission error is because you untarred as root [22:13] angs: the file is in your user home so you will have downloaded it as your user. If you have screwed up peermissions somehow then stay as root for the build [22:16] I am new to linux, I am just executing commands as root as it never asks me to type password. what could be problem to execute commands as root? [22:17] what commandd ddo you use to login as root? [22:17] sudo -s [22:18] Their could be some issue's with your enviroment [22:18] But i never undderstoodd it myself, i am also logged in as root using sudo su [22:19] what is the difference between sudo -s and sudo su? [22:19] It is making your keyboard give extra d's. [22:19] ratcheer my keyboard is broken in some way [22:19] angs, the only command in your process that needs root is the insmod. so you would have been better off to wait until you get to that point. in general you should always defer using sudo until you get an actual permission denied error [22:20] angs: non that I know of...:) [22:20] when i type d it will sometimes be type twice... very anoying [22:20] tuxgeek, angs, just compare the output of "env" under both [22:22] robertzaccour: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141277/how-can-i-change-gnome-shell-theme [22:23] HIYA :D [22:23] ratcheer, already got that [22:23] still getting "invalid theme" [22:23] how do i toggle my audio between internal speakers and those of a HDMI device on laptop? [22:23] robertzaccour: Ok, is it helping? [22:23] I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04 using Alternate install. Grub install to MBR fails. What to do? [22:24] ratcheer, nope, but thanks anyhow [22:24] please, its messing up my mojo, i select HDMI device in preferences but nothing plays [22:24] guessing that unity is more themeable than shell? don't understand why. shell is way better imo [22:24] matreya6, boot a livecd, chroot in and reinstall it [22:25] bekks thanks for letting me search for half an hour [22:25] matreya6, where is your mbr? [22:25] escott, using AHCI (BIOS), my MBR is on my first SATA disk [22:25] I redo all steps without being root, I still get the same output [22:26] matreya6, but you arent using bios raid? [22:27] !sudo [22:27] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [22:27] !cli | angs [22:27] angs: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [22:27] escott, no I stopped using BIOS raid, I've reset my mode to AHCI, thereby destorying all data on both former raid disks. I don't care about that though. Now I'm setting up / and /boot on a non-RAID, non-lvm disk [22:27] robertzaccour: more people are using unity then shell, that is one reason why there is better support for unity [22:28] iceroot, what doesn't make sense is that Unity is less usable [22:28] robertzaccour: never used gnome-shell so i dont know if it is more usable. i am fine with unity here [22:28] matreya6, no obvious reason why you would get a grub-install failure. have you tried it again from the chroot? [22:28] robertzaccour: after some customizing [22:28] robertzaccour: why's that? [22:29] escott, no I' m about to do that. (installing grub2 from chroot) [22:30] escott, I get lots of ATA errors though, exception Emask 0x10 SErr 0x4040000 action 0xe frozen [22:30] Tux, for one, I can't drag a file from nautilus, hover over a minimized app's icon on the taskbar to make it open, and drop it in the app window like I can in shell, xfce, and kde [22:30] i have a webserver running apache and https/ssl enabled, how do i make one of my sites load only https version instead of http version? [22:30] and even windows explorer and os x [22:30] but in unity you have to have the app window open and side by side to drag and drop a file from one window to another [22:30] less efficient for people like me that do a lot of video editing [22:31] and unlike in shell, you can't zoom out all open programs at the same time to view them all at once [22:33] robertzaccour: I prefer gnome-shell, too, but it gives me a lot more trouble so I have been sticking with Unity. [22:33] ratcheer, trouble? [22:33] I would be using Xfce, but for some reason the audio is muted when recorded from my webcam [22:34] and the kde themes are too "fixed" [22:34] I would like to copy a file from machine C (which can only be accessed through machine B) to machine A, using say rsync (through ssh). How can I do that in one move, without having to copy the file to machine B? === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [22:35] kristenB: Maybe scp will do that. [22:35] escott, could having a separate /boot partition complicate matters? [22:35] sure you can zoom out with Windows-key + S , to see all workspaces with open programms, and drag them to an other workspace` [22:35] matreya6, shouldn't [22:35] escott, starting LTS Desktop 12.04 now... [22:36] ratcheer: I don't want scp because it doesn't care whether the file as been modified or not. But even so, how would you do it in scp ? [22:36] OerHeks, you talkin about in unity? [22:36] robertzaccour, yes [22:37] kristenB: I honestly don't remember. It has been more than three years since I did it. [22:37] kristenB, you should look at ssh agent forwarding there are ways to use one machine as an ssh gateway from a remote machine === Myr|Away is now known as Myr [22:37] brb [22:37] hi all [22:37] kristenB, http://blogs.perl.org/users/smylers/2011/08/ssh-productivity-tips.html [22:38] robertzaccour, hold that windows key to see a smart list of shortcuts [22:39] hello === don is now known as Guest69014 [22:39] hello [22:39] hi don [22:39] has there been any complaints about sound not working since the last round of updates? [22:40] it was working fine yesterday, now today, no sound. [22:40] no prob here [22:40] Guest69014: never had an issue. Try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then wait 10 seconds, then reboot [22:40] i get the little sound when the login screen appears but when i log in no sound for anything. [22:40] ok ill try it. [22:41] brb [22:41] Guest69014: its always a good first step with sound [22:44] hello all! [22:44] hi wobeto [22:44] il y a des francophones?

I have an ancient WinXP install that took a lot of time to setup and I don't want to loose that. I have chrooted to my installed root btw [22:46] matreya6, there is a boot-info script [22:47] allright, I' ll run that in advance [22:47] escott, thx^ [22:49] i have in boot win7 and ubuntu different hard disk i can add mint 13 ? [22:49] escott, sorry to trouble you again, but where can I find that script? [22:49] matreya6, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fbootinfoscript%2F&ei=aILvT57lFMax6AGZo4jjBQ&usg=AFQjCNFTDS3TrbOH4ypKpH47k-egEnFW7g&sig2=rwuxig6jZ56pyTnyaIvFmg [22:49] matreya6, GD google links http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [22:51] I think my computer has been hacked [22:51] please help === go is now known as Guest7668 [22:51] if not there is something wrong [22:51] please help [22:52] Guy-who-needs-he: ease up on ENTER and explain the issue [22:52] Guy-who-needs-he, explain your problem [22:52] One thing i have this warning in my top right corrner [22:52] escott, thx again [22:52] i here voices on phone line [22:52] please in one line, Guy-who-needs-he [22:52] Guy-who-needs-he: hover the mouse over the warning, what does it say? [22:52] insmod 8192cu.ko outputs "insmod: error inserting '8192cu.ko': -1 Device or resource busy" . Is there anything that I can do? [22:53] alot ill paste bin it hold on [22:53] Guy-who-needs-he: thanks [22:53] angs: try: sudo modprobe instead [22:53] angs: you may need to pull the interface down, load driver then bring it up [22:54] can't paste the warning something wrong with my network it says [22:54] or a repository that is outdated [22:54] I already set the interface down. sudo modprobe 8192cu.ko outputs FATAL: Module 8192cu.ko not found. [22:55] kalhspera [22:55] ligo help [22:55] I also ejected the device, however I still get the same error [22:55] angs, modprobe is only going to look in the modules path. its not going to probe a module in your home folder [22:55] exw problhma me ths kartes grafikwn....exw 2 kartes se laptop.. [22:56] Does it sound bad? [22:56] Guy-who-needs-he, please put this on one line. and please give actual content instead of "there was this warning about something, is it bad?" [22:57] escott, if I copy the .ko file into dev(?) directory, then will it be fine to use modprobe? [22:57] hey guys, what videocards are better supported in ubuntu AMD or NVIDIA? [22:57] angs, /lib/modules somewhere. check the man page [22:58] Dehibernate, intel is probably the best supported these days. AMD has better open source driver support than nvidia [22:59] speaking of AMD and Intel - any idea on how to achieve working HDMI audio through radeon 3400? [22:59] date info is oudated could be causes by network problems or by a repository that is no longer availible. thats the jest also I keep hearing a wierd voice over the phone line [23:00] *update not date [23:00] Dehibernate: nvidia have been doing it longer, both make good Linux drivers [23:00] Dehibernate: I'd go for nvidia personally [23:02] Guy-who-needs-he, probably just wants you to run "sudo apt-get update" [23:02] Thanks. I was thinking of getting a new PC with an NVIDIA graphics card anyway. [23:03] Dehibernate, be wary of nvidia laptops [23:03] Dehibernate: if you get an i7 which has an intel GPU in it then you will get some headaches [23:03] escott, there were problems with it ill paste bin it [23:03] escott, could you please look into the output of the Boot-info script? It looks as some things are not as they should be: pastebin.ca/2165909 Much obliged. [23:03] I was thinking of getting a desktop pc actually. [23:03] escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068540/ [23:04] ActionParsnip: how come? === aristide_ is now known as aristidesfl [23:04] matreya6, did you run that from within the chroot? [23:04] will there be issues with compatibility? === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase [23:05] escott, yes I did, else I would not get a good idea what it would do [23:06] matreya6, make sure /dev/ /proc/ /sys are all bind mounted into the chroot [23:06] Guy-who-needs-he, you have some bad entries in your sources.list [23:06] escott, also resently i had a problem with gnu grub could it be related [23:06] esscott, what do i do? [23:06] Guy-who-needs-he, remove them [23:06] escott, how? [23:07] Dehibernate, nvidia's optimus is not supported [23:08] Guy-who-needs-he, open /etc/apt/sources.list with your favorite editor gksudo $EDITOR /etc/apt/sources.list [23:08] Dehibernate: hybrid (switchab;e) graphics is still not great in Linux, best avoided [23:08] escott, WHat? [23:09] escott, sorry, but how do you bin mount these dirs into the chroot? /dev checks out, but /proc and /sys are missing. Can I just symlink them from the host system, or should I do something else? [23:09] escott, bin => bin [23:09] escott, bin => bind [23:09] escott, seems my 'd' key was a bit unresponsive. [23:09] Guy-who-needs-he: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a thanks, please use http://pastie.org (or similar) [23:09] matreya6, same way you did /dev: mount --bind /proc /media/chroot/proc alternately just run the script outside the chroot [23:10] actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068540/ [23:10] Guy-who-needs-he: thanks [23:10] ActionParsnip, is there any way to disable the external graphics card and only rely on the IGP of let's say a Intel i5 or i7 processor [23:10] escott, I did not bind /dev in that way, but it was there anyway [23:11] matreya6, no you didn't you had to bind it [23:11] Guy-who-needs-he: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2EA8F35793D8809A [23:11] Dehibernate: no idea, sorry. I'm just steering clear. Easier life [23:11] Dehibernate, on some of the older motherboards it could be turned off in the bios, but the more recent ones dont have that === arjan is now known as MrHaas [23:12] actionparsnip, out this in terminal? "sudo apt-key" [23:12] Guy-who-needs-he: http://ppa.launchpad.net/and471/kazam-daily-stable/ubuntu/dists/ that PPA only supports up to Natty, you are using Precise so the PPA is of no value to you [23:12] Guy-who-needs-he: yes, all terminal === szal_ is now known as szal [23:12] escoot, the only thing I did prior to running the script and looking up some general man info, were these lines: mount /dev/sda11 /media/chroot && chroot /media/chroot [23:13] OK, thanks anyway. :) [23:13] actionparsnip the warning disapeared was that all i had to do? [23:13] matreya6, then your /dev shouldn't have a full set of devices [23:13] Guy-who-needs-he: you could remove the PPA to make things smoother [23:14] actionparsnip, And how would i go about doing that? [23:14] escott, strange, because the directorylist I got was pretty extensive, maybe it was only a skeleton, without any actual nodes [23:14] Guy-who-needs-he: you can either use software centre, or remove the line you added to /etc/apt/sources.list depends how you added it [23:15] matreya6, you should always bind /dev to any chroot. /proc and /sys are more optional, but if you plan to do anything useful you might as well bind them [23:15] Actionparsnip, No idea how it got there [23:16] Guy-who-needs-he: run: grep -R kazam /etc/apt/* [23:16] Guy-who-needs-he: what is output? [23:18] How can I see which version of ATI drivers (fgrlx) do I have installed, if any? [23:18] actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068556/ [23:18] aristidesfl: dpkg -l | grep -i fgrlx [23:19] Guy-who-needs-he: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list; sudo apt-get update [23:19] Guy-who-needs-he: should be smooth now [23:19] ActionParsnip shows nothing.. I assume no drivers are installed [23:20] Actionparsnip, Can not remove [23:20] actionparsnip, no such file or directory [23:20] escott, the script now shows sensible data when run outside the chroot. After the mount binding of /dev /sys and /proc I get sensible data from within the chroot as well. Thanks so much for teaching me this! I really appreciate it. === Mike1_ is now known as Mike1 [23:21] tes [23:22] actionparsnip i realized that was not 1 command :D so i tried the first and can't because its a directory [23:22] Guy-who-needs-he: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list [23:23] Guy-who-needs-he: then run: sudo apt-get update [23:23] Guy-who-needs-he: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list is a text file... [23:23] Why is giving 70-persistent-net.rules me a hard time after 5-6 reboots, it forces my eth1 device to stop: error changing net interface eth0 to eth1: Device or resource busy [23:23] I changed some icons using alacarte, but I would like to reset them. It seems that they don't change with the icon theme anymore. What can I do? [23:23] Only solution is to remive the 70-persistent file [23:24] actionparsnip, i tried "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d" and it can't [23:24] escott, one final question before I go ahead and do a grub-install: Should I make a /boot within the chroot and bind mount my /boot used during the previous install to that before grub-installing? [23:24] Guy-who-needs-he: you have missed some of the command off [23:24] upset, you should be able to remove your overrides in .local [23:24] Guy-who-needs-he: your irc client is truncating the command, it's one long command [23:24] escott: Thanks. I'll check it out. [23:24] matreya6, you should mount your true /boot to the /boot inside the chroot [23:25] actionparsnip, i tried "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list" as one and it can't find it [23:25] Guy-who-needs-he: that's whay I broke it up. The file is: "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list" [23:25] Guy-who-needs-he: then you are good to go, [23:25] Guy-who-needs-he: sudo apt-get update and you will be smooth [23:26] escott, I thought so, but I was not sure because I'm kinda new to install grub through a chroot. [23:26] but it can't do "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/and471-kazam-daily-stable-precise.list" there is no such file or directory [23:27] ActionParsnip do you know how to install 11.6 fglrx? [23:27] matreya6, it should look as much like the real system as possible. the only difference is the kernel that is running is from the livecd, and the associated kernel filesystems are borrowed (bound) from the livecd === |_ocke is now known as i|_ocke === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke [23:28] !ati | aristidesfl is all I know [23:28] aristidesfl is all I know: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:29] Guy-who-needs-he: the file is gone, run: sudo apt-get update and you are ok [23:30] actionparsnip, ok thank you for your time. Do i need to restart my comp after? also yesterday my gnu grub stoped i fixed it but was wondering if it will happen again? [23:30] escott, my grub install failed again, here's the output and it looks serious (to me at least):pastebin.ca/2165916 [23:31] Does anyone know what happened with Adobe Flash and why there won't be any Linux support anymore? [23:31] matreya6, please don't cut your commands from pastes [23:31] Dehibernate: Because they're mean. [23:31] they're also cutting it for all mobile web browsers [23:31] Dehibernate: I think the official version is not enough demand. [23:31] Dehibernate, because adobe has given up on flash [23:31] escott, I will correct my paste, just a sec... [23:31] pndemc: Wow, really? [23:32] upset, yes, new android won't have flash [23:32] upset, it is dead on linux, android, never made it on iOS [23:32] Dehibernate: Chromium will probably support it forever though, right? [23:32] if adobe stops flash what happens? do we need new pluggins? [23:32] Well, what happens with all the services and websites that rely on flash, like youtube for example? [23:32] html5 [23:32] Dehibernate, Guy-who-needs-he, html5 [23:33] escott: Really? What about youtube? [23:33] !ot [23:33] #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! [23:33] youtube has an html5 you can opt in [23:33] the most important thing is can someone update all those homestarrunner flash videos [23:33] oCean: It's a relevant question [23:33] !flashplayer [23:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:33] escott, here's my corrected pastebin, including the command itself: pastebin.ca/2165917 [23:33] upset: it is, but it is not an Ubuntu issue, [23:33] Yes but I don't think the youtube ads work on HTML5 [23:34] matreya6, what does "parted -l /dev/sda" show [23:34] My gnu grub stopped working i fixed it but why? what does it do? and will it happen again? [23:34] oCean: Users' interest in ubuntu's flash compatability seems like an relevant topic to me. [23:34] !work | Guy-who-needs-he [23:34] Guy-who-needs-he: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:35] oCean: I guess I'll stop discussing it anyway [23:35] upset: sure, but not in this channel. There is #ubuntu-discuss (for ubuntu discussions) and #ubuntu-offtopic for all other topics [23:35] oCean: Fair enough [23:35] oCean: I guess you are correct [23:35] My computer wouldn't start up it came up with a purple screen and had some options what was the problem? [23:36] escott, here's the pastebin for fdisk -l /dev/sda : pastebin.ca/2165918 [23:36] said gnu grub at top [23:36] version 1.99 [23:36] so vague ^ [23:37] !gnu grub 1.99 [23:37] Guy-who-needs-he: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:37] Could some one help me with udev? its starting to get me angry [23:37] What does Gnu grub 1.99 do? [23:37] !gnugrub [23:37] !grub [23:37] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:38] Guy-who-needs-he: FYI grub 1.99 is commonly called Grub 2 [23:38] zykotick9: That doesn't seem smart [23:38] matreya6, thats pretty screwed up. not sure why partitions 1,5 and 6 are not aligned correctly [23:39] grub wouldn't boot and when i used "c" to do commands and did the "boot" command it gave me an error [23:39] i had to repare it [23:39] with install cd [23:39] why does 12.04 setup require a username/password to begin installation? what do I enter? [23:39] matreya6, i would be worried about your alignment. because somebody is not correct. either linux or windows not sure who [23:40] ghost[], make one up, and remember the password [23:40] matreya6, what does "sudo parted -l /dev/sda" say about the alignment? [23:40] ghost[], that is for your user account [23:40] OerHeks: anything i put in says "invalid password, please try again" [23:40] and it says "login" [23:41] i just downloaded this iso from ubuntu.com, put it on a usb stick with unetbootin, and somehow there is already a user set up? [23:41] escott: Worked, many thanks [23:41] ghost[], no its not booting correctly and is dumping you to a root shell [23:41] Hi all [23:42] goofygrocer: Hello. Got a problem we can help with? [23:42] nope... no problem. Just finished my first install of Ubuntu on an old laptop, and taking a look around. :-) [23:42] Guy-who-needs-he: no restart needed, this isn't windows [23:42] i get the same prompt when i select Try Ubuntu without installing [23:42] actionparsnip ok [23:43] goofygrocer: Godspeed, fellow nerd :) [23:43] ;-) [23:43] ghost[]: did you md5 test the ISO you used? [23:43] ActionParsnip: Uh oh. The md5 on the first 12.04 releases failed hard. [23:43] escott, sudo fdisk -l from outside the chroot say exactly the same thing, except the cmd-line ofcourse which is : ubuntu@ubuntu:~/$fdisk -l [23:43] matreya6, stop using fdisk [23:44] What is the ufw command in terminal for opening a port i have a belkin router i need to use one [23:44] upset: MD5 is a binary thing, it either passes or fails. I don't know how it can fail 'hard'... [23:44] matreya6, go find that neuron in your brain that knows about fdisk and zap it [23:44] MD5 (ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso) = 128f0c16f4734c420b0185a492d92e52 [23:44] escott, sudo fdisk -l from outside the chroot say exactly the same thing, except the cmd-line ofcourse which is : ubuntu@ubuntu:~/$fdisk -l /dev/sda [23:44] i cant find the reference md5... [23:45] ActionParsnip: I just mean the initially released iso's all failed the MD5 checksum test [23:45] Guy-who-needs-he: you need to access your router's config page to edit the router, using ufw on the local machine will edit the firewall on the local machine only. Think about it [23:45] ath: unable to initialize hardware: initialization status -19 [23:45] ath9k 0000:04:0: Failed to initialize device [23:45] --anyone know what thats all about? [23:45] upset: so where does 'hard' come from? [23:45] matreya6, your next disk is going to be 3TB+ and will use gpt and you will need a command line too to read the table, so learn to use parted today [23:45] actionparsnip, i know i need the command that will allow a port to open [23:46] ActionParsnip: Nowhere. It was just shocking that officially released iso's would all fail the checksum. [23:46] ActionParsnip: Troublesome expression I guess [23:46] alexlea, are you asking what ath9k is or what causes that error? [23:46] Guy-who-needs-he: if its on your router that you are opening the port on you need to access the router, the default fireall wil allow the connection [23:46] upset: I see [23:47] escott: well, ultimately i want to know why my wireless is not working; thats the error i got on boot [23:47] ActionParsnip: I'll be more clear next time [23:47] alexlea, ath9k is the kernel module (aka driver) [23:47] escott: um, so i guess ti answer you, i want to know what causes that error :) [23:47] actionparsnip, i had to do it before and i have done it there is a ufw command in terminal after i go to the router and configure it in my browser forgot command [23:48] alexlea, but im not sure why you would be getting that error. atheros usually works well [23:48] actionparsnip, it allows the port to open === manikon is now known as bustamove [23:48] escott: well, here is some added info; this is ubuntu 32 bit 11.04; (i am on dial up and dont have the new one) so my guess is my card is newer than driver? (new laptop just got a week ago,) [23:49] Guy-who-needs-he: use gufw, it has a gui [23:49] I need to know I have a new install of ubuntu 12.04, is the emerald window manager still available because I learned that they were going to build a new and better window manager much like emerald, only to name it something like Jasper? Does anything know what I'm asking? [23:49] alexlea, is it wireless N [23:49] Babalabon: I believe its integrated into Compiz [23:49] !info emerald [23:49] Package emerald does not exist in precise [23:49] !find emerald [23:49] File emerald found in epiphany-data, fvwm-crystal, gcompris-data, gnome-colors-common, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux, guitarix, oxygen-cursor-theme-extra, sauerbraten-data, tdiary-theme [23:50] actionparsnip, there is a simple commnad i just need to know it there is nothing else to it where do i find the command [23:50] escott: i am 99% sure it is, i will check tho [23:50] !find Jasper [23:50] Found: jasper, libjasper-dev, libjasper1, libjasper-java, libjasper-runtime [23:50] escott, I think I know what caused this misalignment, please correct me if I'm wrong: Step 1: Installed WinXP in with BIOS set to IDE mode (couldn't do it otherwise). Step 2: after installing various drivers on XP, I changed my BIOS to AHCI instead in order to be able to install Ubuntu 12.04. The disk I' m using to install this is a spanking new 2TB HDD from Western digital. I think the switch from IDE to AHCI mode might have casused the misalignment [23:51] matreya6, pastebin [23:51] is there a package to make multiple mouse buttons work... I have like ten on this mouse [23:52] matreya6, im not sure if XP knows about the existence of 4k disks that claim to be 512b. it could be that XP is misaligned, but that would be a big performance loss [23:52] !ufw [23:52] 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. [23:52] matreya6, the ide/ahci shouldnt change anything about how the disk looks. i think it just enables some additional ATA commads [23:53] escott: yes, 100% sure its N; i have atheros AR9485WB-EG [23:53] actionparsnip found command it was "sudo ufw allow" [23:53] thank you for all your help [23:53] hello folks [23:53] alexlea, its possible then that there might be some driver issues. sadly i can only refer you to google [23:53] Guy-who-needs-he: np [23:53] bey [23:53] escott: ah, so back where i came form..thanks for your time though, i appreciate it === NoiseChancellor is now known as TestingTestin123 [23:57] escott, probably WinXP is Oblivious to the existance of 4k disks during install, especially because I used a non-SP WinXP and upgraded all the way through additional SP's, not omitting the proper SATA drivers of course. It may be that in spite of the extra driver info fed to the WinXP install using a diskette, it might have caused the misalignment during install. [23:58] matreya6, you should consider fixing that alignment issue. the grub problem is that sda1 starts really early in the disk, usually it would start another sector or two further back. fixing the alignment would also fix that [23:59] /server irc.epiknet.org [23:59] /server irc.epiknet.org [23:59] Can someone help me test xbuntu off a flashdrive? [23:59] escott, I' ve done some reading on the subject. Unfortunately, Western Digital HDD's can' t be realigned without wiping all the data ;_;
