[00:00] <xezexal> say I want to add a PPA and I happen to have the maya/precise repos but yet it still says katya.  How can i make it say maya on default?
[00:00] <xezexal> there must be some file to configure.....
[00:01] <subz3r0> like i said... ubuntu isnt mint... no idea
[00:01] <subz3r0> i would ask in the mint channel thO
[00:02] <tehroflmaoer> hey can someone help me with autocomplete with screen? it seems to have stopped working for me recently
[00:02] <flymac> i've another query too, this is the first install of Ubuntu i've done on a laptop, and only done one or two some years back on a desktop. The laptop has a 320gb drive installed but after install and booting to Live CD it shows up as 160gb. The kernal panic seems related to the boot partition too.
[00:04] <amine_> bonsoir a tous
[00:06] <escott> flymac, you need to tell us what the panic is
[00:07] <amine_> svp j arive pas a risoudre un probleme
[00:08] <bz> amine_: allez-vous a #ubuntu-fr
[00:09] <Lymphocyte> is it possible to make a filesystem on a file?
[00:09] <amine_> ok bz
[00:09] <Lymphocyte> like if i create a 10gb file i can create ext3 on it?
[00:09] <bz> Lymphocyte: look up 'loopback"
[00:10] <flymac> escott - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[00:10] <escott> Lymphocyte, for performance reasons make sure you create the image correctly. you need to tell the filesystem to preallocate the space, you dont want a sparse file
[00:10] <Lymphocyte> escott: fallocate good enough?
[00:10] <Lymphocyte> ext4 can preallocate blocks for it without zeroing it out. is fallocate a sparse file thing?
[00:11] <escott> Lymphocyte, fallocate is fine. you just need to be careful using something like dd if=/dev/zero of=.... because it might make it sparse
[00:12] <escott> flymac, are you in the initrd right now?
[00:12] <escott> flymac, the busybox? or are you on the livecd
[00:13] <flymac> escott, i whipped out the usb and rebooted to copy down the error, i'll try get it to initrd now
[00:14] <barrra> hey there I am having trouble setting up the resolution on grub2
[00:14] <escott> flymac, we can work from either. just trying to figure out where you are
[00:14] <barrra> Could it have something to do with the fact I am using LVM+crypt?
[00:15] <barrra> No change on grub config seem to have any effect at all...  -.-
[00:15] <escott> barrra, that should not affect the grub resolution. so long as grub is working. are you running update-grub?
[00:15] <barrra> escott, of course
[00:16] <barrra> escott, but I wondered if it would keep a cache copy of the cfg or something like that.
[00:16] <flymac> escott - booting back to live cd, im there now
[00:16] <escott> barrra, unless its looking in a completely different place no
[00:16] <barrra> escott, this seems paranormal
[00:16] <escott> flymac, can you mount the installed system to /media/ubuntu
[00:17] <barrra> escott, tried to set nosplash to see if it even worked, and apparently it doesn't
[00:17] <lnxslck> hello guys
[00:17] <lnxslck> can someone help me with nvidia card with optimus chip?
[00:17] <barrra> escott, I noticed to that even my locales got messed up after an update...
[00:17] <escott> barrra, you might want to run the boot info script. perhaps grub is looking somewhere else
[00:17] <killown> is there a way to remove panel title bar from the secondary monitor?
[00:17] <aguitel> how to fix this bug? conf file './etc/xdg/trolltech.conf' is not in sync with other instances of the same package
[00:17] <lnxslck> i installed bumblebee and still ubuntu doesnt recognize my cards
[00:17] <barrra> escott, (fresh instaled copy)
[00:18] <barrra> *checks logs*
[00:19] <flymac> escott, its mounting itself when i hit it in the GUI to /media/*crazy long hash*
[00:20] <escott> flymac, thats the UUID. going to be a bit of a pain to work with so lets make a symlink "sudo ln -s /media/[TAB] /target"
[00:20] <xezexal> what is the file which controls PPA version naming?
[00:21] <harovali> hi, I came accross a ubuntu Natty machine, whose repos don't exist anymore. How can I fix the apt setup ?
[00:21] <escott> flymac, then paste the output of the following commands. "grep vmlinuz /target/boot/grub/grub.cfg" "sudo blkid" "sudo ls /target/boot" and "sudo parted -l"
[00:22] <Ben64> !eol | harovali
[00:23] <harovali> Ben64: thanks, I don't really care if the machine is really up to date, I just want to ba able to install a very common package, namely cups-bsd
[00:23] <trism> Ben64: natty isn't eol until october
[00:24] <harovali> trism: so I believed
[00:24] <Ben64> well i figured it was since "repos don't exist anymore"
[00:24] <trism> harovali: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:25] <escott> !pastebinit | flymac easier than doing all the copy and paste
[00:26]  * lnxslck anyone with bumblebee?
[00:26] <flymac> thanks - i'll work thru these steps for a minute
[00:33] <Angelababy> Good Day!
[00:34] <lnxslck> hello
[00:34] <Angelababy> hi
[00:36] <Angelababy> welcome
[00:37] <Angelababy> lots of people here by no one talking...
[00:37] <urgodfather> hello can someone help me figure out why i cannot live boot on this device http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/770
[00:37] <flymac> escott, ok - took a while as had to get the ubuntu machine online
[00:38] <escott> flymac, thats fine
[00:38] <flymac> escott - results - www.pastebin.com/nZ8x0Xgx
[00:39] <flymac> ill look into pastebinit too, sounds great
[00:39] <Angelababy> urgodfather, i don think the ubuntu is compatible with the hardware you have.
[00:40] <escott> flymac, that all looks ok.
[00:40] <escott> flymac, how old is this hardware?
[00:40] <flymac> escott, bahh, i was affraid you'd say that
[00:40] <urgodfather> hello can someone help me figure out why i cannot live boot on this device http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/770 when it boots, the graphics scan... kinda like when you record a crt on video but way faster where you cannot see anything
[00:40] <flymac> its a HP 620 laptop that was handed to me as a windows 7 virus ridden cast-off. Its a 2010 model, intel core 2 duo, integrated gfx
[00:41] <extor> How on earth do I make a sudo user
[00:41] <extor> I have console access as root but unable to ssh as root and there are no sudo users
[00:41] <jthan> extor: There is a setting to enable/disable allowing root login via ssh.
[00:42] <jthan> extor: You can not "make" a sudo user.  Using the command "visudo" as root will bring up the file within which you can grant people access to the sudo command.
[00:42] <escott> flymac, thats not a problem. (was there any particular reason you installed 32bit not 64bit?)
[00:42] <escott> flymac, so that entry is offered to boot, but it panics when it cant find the root
[00:42] <urgodfather> anyone?
[00:43] <flymac> escott - actually, no, no particular reason. i just downloaded what was in front of me first.
[00:44] <urgodfather> could it be a kernel thing? personally, i think its a graphics thing... is there any way to reduce down the graphics to 800 x 480?
[00:45] <goddard> anyone used the fluendo codec pack?
[00:45] <jthan> urgodfather: I feel like nobody here has tried to use that device to run Ubuntu.
[00:45] <escott> flymac, you might download and run the boot info script
[00:46] <escott> flymac, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[00:48] <imnichol> Is Ubuntu1 contact integration with Thunderbird still supported?
[00:49] <ceti331> join programming
[00:49] <zykotick9> imnichol: if you don't get an answer here - i'd ask in #ubuntuone
[00:51] <flymac> escott, pastebin.com/LnmQwmFw
[00:52] <escott> flymac, that all looks good. its not the boot configuration. can you reboot and try to read as much as you can about the panic
[00:54] <flymac> escott - right now its loading GRUB by default....
[00:54] <flymac> i have to chose first Ubuntu option in GRUB
[00:54] <amgadmadkour> t
[00:56] <flymac> escott - line below reads Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not rainted 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu
[00:57] <escott> flymac, when it panics does it drop you to the initrd? if it does you should be able to read the log with "dmesg | less"
[00:57] <flymac> no, all i have is a blinker, i cant input anything, its just hanging
[01:00] <escott> flymac, i need to know why the kernel couldnt find the disk
[01:00] <flymac> escott - got a little more info
[01:01] <flymac> i did a recovery boot, still not initrd but I can read the last few lines before the panic
[01:01] <harovali> trism: I could solve the issue , which wasn't repo related. Thanks anyhow.
[01:01] <flymac> VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID=bla bla" or unknow-block(0,0)
[01:02] <flymac> Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions:
[01:04] <flymac> escott, then it lists each partition, sda1 2 and 5
[01:04] <terminhell> howdy
[01:04] <escott> flymac, odd. the UUID is correct. you could switch it to /dev/sda1 and see if it boots, but that shouldn't be necessary
[01:05] <flymac> escott, the list of available partitions has only zero's next to each partition
[01:05] <flymac> escott, where i'm guessing it should find the UUID its looking for
[01:09] <conley> How can I set default applications from command line? Nautilus freezes up every time I try to change the default application for cr2 files
[01:10] <flymac> escott - changed boot options to /dev/sda1
[01:11] <flymac> escott, it looks like i'm in
[01:11] <flymac> escott, saw a ton of odd stuff before it got there, but it did
[01:12] <conley> edit mimeapps? okay.
[01:12] <Saiki> doen anyone know what the problem is when a webpage in tomcat6 says it s unavailable, but you knwo it exists?
[01:13] <cNoNim> hello all
[01:13] <terminhell> hi
[01:13] <escott> flymac, that really weird. not sure why it wouldn't work. there is a flag you can set in /etc/default/grub to tell it not to use UUID's and then you could rerun update-grub to make it permanent
[01:13] <escott> flymac, maybe check dmesg to see if there is any indication why you have to do this step
[01:14] <cNoNim> i install ubuntu and windows 7, but windows 7 freezes if boot from grub2
[01:14] <flymac> compiz keeps quiting unexpectedly now :(
[01:14] <cNoNim> windows and ubuntu on same disk
[01:16] <cNoNim> if recove windows mbr windows boot properly
[01:17] <juboba> hello
[01:17] <flymac> escott - dude, thank you for your kind help and guidance. its way past my bedtime, i'll be back tomorrow night no doubt!!!
[01:17] <juboba> I'm having problems with my microphone
[01:17] <moduspwnins> hello juboba
[01:17] <juboba> it is not displayed in Input hardware
[01:18] <cNoNim> who can help me?
[01:18] <juboba> nevermind, now it is (weird(
[01:18] <Rage> hello
[01:18] <Rage> oh
[01:19] <Rage> I used the wrong account
[01:19] <t0ken> Ok, so.  Can someone point me to some doc or provide insight as to how to get more than 1 virtualbox vm to work when they are using bridged mode to access the lan.  1 at a time works fine but two gives some permission errors.
[01:19] <moduspwnins> cNoNim: did you install Windows first and Ubuntu second?
[01:19] <cNoNim> yes
[01:20] <bazhang> t0ken, have you tried asking in #vbox yet
[01:20] <moduspwnins> and did you install Grub2 to MBR?
[01:20] <cNoNim> yes
[01:20] <t0ken> bazhang: no, not yet, seems to be a debian variant problem from what I've been reading
[01:20] <cNoNim> windows freezes when boot from grub2
[01:20] <moduspwnins> okay.  hm, not sure what your issue could be
[01:21] <IsaacLewis> are there any networks about the C programming language?
[01:21] <IsaacLewis> er
[01:21] <IsaacLewis> channels*
[01:22] <bazhang> IsaacLewis, ##c ?
[01:22] <neo_> buenas noches desde vzla
[01:22] <bazhang> !es | neo_
[01:22] <cNoNim> !ru | cNoNim
[01:24] <escott> cNoNim, freezes how. any messages?
[01:24] <cNoNim> escott: only show "starting windows"
[01:25] <escott> cNoNim, have you tried booting with messages (there is some way to do a text boot in windows)
[01:25] <cNoNim> escott: if choose safe boot or text boot escott then black screen
[01:26] <cNoNim> [s]escott[/s] :)
[01:26] <terminhell> graphic driver isnt set to load on that kernel mode then
[01:26] <terminhell> my guess
[01:27] <escott> cNoNim, odd. you could use the windows boot system to boot linux. a bit of a pain, but you probably need to ask some windows people what might be causing it to fail to chainload. or perhaps check in #grub
[01:27] <cNoNim> ok thx
[01:28] <cNoNim> terminhell: if recovery windows mbr boot escott properly
[01:28] <terminhell> cNoNim: oh, nvm then
[01:30] <n1ckn4me09876543> anyone here use conky? how can I make my gpu show the memory that I'm using? kind of like RAM used/total thing, right now I can only output Temperature, Clock Speed, Total Memory, Driver Version, I'd like to be able to see what gpu memory im currently using up
[01:34] <Guest42438> I loaded Ubuntu v11 and plugged in my Nokia E71 via USB Cable, but Ubuntu did nothing and didnt show it. WHY?
[01:34] <Guest42438> anyone know why?
[01:35] <escott> Guest42438, probably not a USB mass storage device
[01:36] <Guest42438> what do you meran escott?
[01:36] <Saiki> doen anyone know what the problem is when a webpage in tomcat6 says it s unavailable, but you knwo it exists?
[01:36] <Guest42438> escott: how do I make the Nokia E71 as a "SB mass storage device"?
[01:37] <escott> Guest42438, you need to look at the documentation on your phone
[01:37] <Guest42438> Guest42438: so I need to tell it to become a USB mass storage device?
[01:39] <n1ckn4me09876543> Guest42438: it depends, I had a prepaid phone with usb rechargeable plug, but i connected the usb to computer anyways and nothing happens,  if the phone doesnt have the capability then it wont do anything
[01:40] <Guest42438> Thanks guys, when I changed the Nokia E71 to "U USB mass storage device" then Windiws 7 detected it :)
[01:43] <deper29> how do I remove kernels from my system?
[01:43] <deper29> say, one that I built myself
[01:44] <deper29> so I can't use synaptic
[01:45] <escott> deper29, rm
[01:45] <deper29> escott, do I just rm stuff from /boot?
[01:46] <escott> deper29, if you put it there with cp/mv you take it out with rm
[01:46] <deper29> escott, I didn't put it there with that. I'm fine removing it like that, but what about any modules it would have installed?
[01:47] <Anxi80_> are .bash files still meant to be thrown in user's home directory?
[01:47] <escott> deper29, if apt doesn't know about it there is no other way to remove it
[01:47] <Napo> alguien que hable en español?
[01:47] <escott> !es | Napo
[01:47] <deper29> escott, okay, but what about the modules?
[01:47] <escott> deper29, its the same answer. how else would you propose to remove these files?
[01:48] <xezexal> what does llsb-release control?
[01:48] <deper29> escott, where would I find these modules?
[01:48] <escott> deper29, /lib/modules
[01:48] <deper29> I think that's more what I'm asking. Does ubuntu install the modules from that kernel in with the modules of my other kernels?
[01:49] <deper29> escott, nm, I see how it is
[01:49] <Napo> alguien conectado que hable español
[01:49] <escott> !es | Napo
[01:49] <escott> !es > Napo
[01:50] <_slug_> ljl
[01:51] <escott> xezexal, nothing so far as i know
[01:54] <xezexal> escott is there a file which controls dpkg distributions versions?
[01:54] <xezexal> perhaps I'm confused.........
[01:55] <escott> xezexal, you need to run do-release-upgrade to change releases
[01:55] <xezexal> thansks
[01:56] <Balask> Hello there I was wondering why the 32 bit version of Ubuntu is recommended over the 64 bit version and also if 30GB seems like a good amount of space for an install or if more should be given
[01:56] <arkanabar> what's up with the black background in abiword, and how do I fix it?
[01:56] <dax> Balask: because 32bit runs on most computers and 64 doesn't. If you know you have a 64-bit machine, feel free to use it. 30GB seems fine.
[01:56] <escott> Balask, 32bit runs on anything. but if you know you have 64bit hardware use 64bit
[01:57] <Balask> thanks
[02:06] <Ghosthunter007> Ok so I upgraded from 11.10 64bit to 12.04 64Bit Sound was working until upgrade is there a patch for this bug
[02:06] <pooltable> help on re setting up the top bar on xfce?
[02:09] <terminhell> !xfce
[02:10] <sweeper> ok folks, my filesystem is DEFINITELY clean and the partition table is not screwed up, but when I boot it I get this: http://i.imgur.com/dN9GV.png
[02:10] <sweeper> any ideas?
[02:12] <FreeNslaved> PM me please.........can anyone help me....i installed the new xubuntu and having same issue as i had in 10.... cant play video.... had to install 11 and let it upgrade....think i have all the 3rd party software installed yet flash not working
[02:13] <terminhell> sweeper: is / full?
[02:13] <sweeper> FreeNslaved: what browser?
[02:13] <FreeNslaved> not 64 bit capable...older system...did have 11 running fine........Mozilla
[02:14] <Kindari> Hey folks. A server I run at a colo had a second nic card installed. I have all the ips its supposed to use, but, ifconfig doesn't report it. How would I add it?
[02:14] <sweeper> terminhell: I doubt it, but I can check
[02:14] <sam555> I'm trying to open VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.tar
[02:14] <sam555> what's the command to open this?
[02:14] <sam555> hello all
[02:14] <sweeper> Kindari: short term, ifconfig -a will show it
[02:14] <terminhell> sam555: tar
[02:14] <sweeper> and you can ifconfig up eth1
[02:14] <sweeper> or ifconfig eth1 up
[02:15] <sweeper> sam555: tar -xvf (filename) will extract it
[02:15] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: you may not have all the gstreamer plugins, does vlc play em?
[02:15] <FreeNslaved> not sure
[02:15] <sam555> thanks sweeper!
[02:15] <FreeNslaved> <---can type commands in terminal..but i dont know what to type
[02:15] <escott> sweeper, why are you using ext3, just an old system?
[02:16] <Kohlrak_noauth> Im trying to use a package called ext3grep to restore some files, but i am unaware how to apply the "--after" parameter. It expects a "dtime" arguement, but googling is not showing me how to use dtime and i can't find a manpage on it.
[02:16] <sweeper> escott: yep
[02:16] <sweeper> terminhell: / is not full. any other ideas?
[02:16] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: apt...
[02:16] <terminhell> sweeper: idk, have you googled anything yet?
[02:16] <FreeNslaved> i think we just did apt get
[02:17] <Kindari> sweeper: thanks, that shows eth0 through eth3. brought up eth1-3. eth1 has an ipv6 address and the other 2 have nothing. Should I add something in /etc/network/interfaces with the details I received from the colo?
[02:17] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: you'll probably need the gstreamer 'good, bad & ugly' ones
[02:17] <sweeper> Kindari: yes, but make sure you're not running ubuntu's silly network manager thing
[02:17] <FreeNslaved> search for gstreamer and install?
[02:18] <sweeper> if there's stuff in /etc/network/interfaces then you probably are not
[02:18] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: apt-cache search gstreamer
[02:18] <Kindari> I don't believe I am. interfces is fully configured with static ips.
[02:19] <FreeNslaved> just ran that in the terminal....try it now?
[02:19] <Kindari> Would there normally be different devices for ipv4/ipv6? That has me a little puzzled why I'm now showing 4 ethernet interfaces.
[02:19] <sweeper> Kindari: are they interfaces or sub-interfaces?
[02:19] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: that wont install anything, just show whats available, then do apt-get install whateverpackages
[02:20] <sweeper> eth1, eth2 are individual interfaces
[02:20] <sweeper> eth1-2 is a subinterface
[02:20] <sweeper> you can have as many of those as you wish
[02:20] <terminhell> FreeNslaved: seperated by a space for multiple packages
[02:20] <Kindari> sweeper: they are eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth3. Not eth0:1 etc.
[02:20] <sweeper> oh, ok
[02:20] <sweeper> well you have 4 then :P
[02:20] <sweeper> guess you feel silly about buying an extra nic now :P
[02:20] <Kindari> sweeper: jeez, not knowing the actual specs of this machine is annoying ;)
[02:21] <terminhell> having another nic is nice for staying connected while running things like aircrack and ettercap :p
[02:21] <sweeper> *cough* lspci *cough*
[02:22] <Kindari> hm, cool. http://pastebin.com/di9vSQeH
[02:23] <smithw> So, I'm trying to map my extra mouse buttons to the compiz expo/scale plugins. I can see the events generated by the buttons in xev, including their button number, but when I set the appropriate button in ccsm, they are simply ignored. I tried remapping them with xinput (right now they are on 6 7, but I tried 8 9 and 19 20 also), and ccsm still doesn't see them. Any ideas?
[02:23] <goddard> are there any external drives that plug into 2 USB ports to improve speed?
[02:24] <terminhell> goddard: what?
[02:24] <FreeNslaved> smashing computer.....12.04  wth
[02:24] <sweeper> http://i.imgur.com/krYcT.png <-- ok. this may be a problem
[02:25] <sweeper> goddard: no, as they would share the same usb bus, it would be silly
[02:27] <FreeNslaved> 12.04  wtf       shut this crap down before it ends up being a costly night...ty
[02:28] <Ycarene> I wish they'd have kept the ia32-libs-dev package and just put in the libs that hadn't been converted over yet.  As it is there's a few that won't co-exist on a system with it's 32 bit counterpart.  (like freetype)
[02:33] <Ghosthunter007> Ok so I upgraded from 11.10 64bit to 12.04 64Bit Sound was working until upgrade is there a patch for this bug
[02:35] <terminhell> Ghosthunter007: is it muted (not to be condescending, just keeping it KISS)

[02:37] <Ghosthunter007> double checking now
[02:37] <myersg> I have installed owncloud on my ubuntu computer
[02:38] <myersg> and I need to acces it from out side my network
[02:38] <myersg> port forwarding..
[02:38] <myersg> but I don't know how
[02:38] <myersg> well..what I have done hasn't worked
[02:38] <terminhell> your router is a good start
[02:38] <myersg> yes
[02:38] <myersg> done did that..
[02:38] <myersg> but still
[02:38] <myersg> doesn't load
[02:38] <Ghosthunter007> yeah output is set to built in speakers
[02:38] <terminhell> are you using a proxy?
[02:38] <sweeper> what ports do you need to forward for owncloud?
[02:39] <pooltable> help reset xfce or re installed?
[02:39] <myersg> I think 80
[02:39] <myersg> because its like a website
[02:39] <sweeper> your ISP may be blocking it
[02:39] <pooltable> my daughter remove the pannel that show all the program running how do i fix it ?
[02:39] <myersg> so how do I un block it?
[02:39] <terminhell> get a new isp if thats the case lol
[02:39] <sweeper> you can either use an ssh tunnel, or use an alternate port
[02:40] <myersg> vary funny...
[02:40] <myersg> help please..
[02:40] <myersg> just a sec
[02:41] <myersg> I have a d-link router
[02:41] <terminhell> idk never used owncloud
[02:42] <sweeper> myersg: and you forwarded your external port 80 to port 80 at the IP of your computer?
[02:42] <myersg> yes
[02:43] <myersg> https://picasaweb.google.com/102127954722380258842/July32012#5761139403995262386
[02:43] <myersg> is a picture on how i have it set up
[02:44] <sweeper> that picture is not coming up
[02:45] <myersg> try again please..
[02:45] <ilpollo> i need the spanish chanel dir, thanks
[02:45] <OerHeks> !se
[02:46] <OerHeks> ehh !es
[02:46] <OerHeks> !es
[02:46] <myersg> do you see it?
[02:46] <sweeper> no, try repasting
[02:46] <OerHeks> myersg, i can see that picture either.
[02:47] <OerHeks> can't
[02:47] <myersg> give me a minute
[02:47] <sweeper> ubottu: no tengo intro! que hago en ese caso?
[02:47] <sweeper> oh bah
[02:48] <myersg> http://www.flickr.com/photos/myersg97/7498582260/in/photostream
[02:48] <sweeper> myersg: looks good
[02:49] <sweeper> http://www.whatismyip.com/ <-- what does that tell you?
[02:49] <sweeper> I can try telnetting to the port for ya
[02:49] <ilpollo> please the spanish chanel dir, thanks
[02:49] <pooltable> daughter remove the pannel that show the programs running how do i fix it ?
[02:49] <myersg> how?
[02:50] <sweeper> myersg: tell me your ip address, and I will telnet to port 80 at your ip, and see if I get rejected or just time out or what
[02:50] <sweeper> you should also try forwarding something else that wouldn't be blocked, like port 22
[02:50] <myersg> the router ip or my computer?
[02:51] <myersg> my router ip: 70.246.141.196
[02:51] <sweeper> that web page will give you your public ip address, which should be your router's outside IP
[02:51] <sweeper> thar
[02:51] <sweeper> looks to be working
[02:51] <myersg> what do you see?
[02:51] <sweeper> http://i.imgur.com/y9vNY.png
[02:52] <sweeper> when I just pull up the IP in chrome, I get a header but nothing else
[02:52] <myersg> ya..how do i fix it?
[02:52] <sweeper> but whatever's wrong is unlikely to be your port forwarding
[02:52] <ilpollo> please i need the spanichs chanel please, thanks
[02:53] <sweeper> is there supposed to be a web page?
[02:53] <myersg> 70.246.141.196:80 try that in the webbrowser
[02:53] <myersg> yes, owncloud login
[02:53] <myersg> I can see it when I go there
[02:53] <sweeper> hmmm
[02:54] <sweeper> interesting
[02:54] <sweeper> I get redirected to mghserver.tk/owncloud
[02:54] <myersg> and???
[02:54] <myersg> do you see the login?
[02:54] <sweeper> hehehe, did you set your hostname?
[02:54] <sweeper> I get a timeout
[02:54] <ilpollo> ???? plase
[02:54] <sweeper> ilpollo: que quieres?
[02:54] <ilpollo> i need the spanish chanel please
[02:54] <sweeper> esta en #ubuntu-es
[02:54] <ilpollo> gracias
[02:54] <myersg> what do you mean? set you host name?
[02:55] <sweeper> well, on your computer, or in the owncloud setup
[02:55] <myersg> how do I do that?
[02:55] <sweeper> your web server is redirecting me to that domain
[02:55] <sweeper> which means it THINKS it is that domain
[02:55] <myersg> yes.. witch I have forwarding to 70.246.141.196:80
[02:56] <myersg> I have http://www.mgserver80.tk porting to the 70.246.141.196:80
[02:56] <sweeper> hahaha
[02:56] <sweeper> nope!
[02:56] <sweeper> http://i.imgur.com/u7s2G.png
[02:56] <sweeper> who is handling your dns?
[02:57] <sweeper> your name is resolving to a private ip address
[02:57] <pooltable> installed fxce?
[02:57] <myersg> mgserver80.tk
[02:57] <pooltable> fce
[02:57] <pooltable> xfce
[02:57] <myersg> dot.tk is handling the dns
[02:57] <sweeper> ok
[02:57] <sweeper> dynamic or static?
[02:57] <myersg> I don't know?
[02:58] <myersg> Its just forwarding
[02:58] <myersg> no ip or anything
[02:58] <sweeper> no dns is different from forwarding
[02:58] <myersg> give me a minute
[02:59] <myersg> so when you go to the ip, and port 80 what does it do? in a browser
[02:59] <sweeper> http://i.imgur.com/T0pAx.png <-- now THAT is bizzarre
[02:59] <TheLordOfTime> myersg:  redirect to mghserver.tk/opencloud, which fails
[02:59] <TheLordOfTime> to answer your question
[02:59] <TheLordOfTime> (timeout)
[03:00] <Kindari> hm. "ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.12" works, but setting up /etc/network/interfaces with the same ip and calling ifconfig eth1 up doesn't.
[03:00] <myersg> mgserver.tk/owncloud is directed to my server
[03:01] <myersg> what goes under host name?
[03:01] <emmanuelle_> lokgswmùs
[03:02] <myersg> I can only do Domain forwarding
[03:02] <myersg> but... I have my server, linked to mghserver.tk
[03:02] <myersg> 192.168.0.102
[03:03] <myersg> and I have that port forwarded to port 80 on my router
[03:03] <myersg> 70.246.141.196
[03:04] <sweeper> myersg: you need to link the 70. address to mghserver.tk
[03:04] <sweeper> not the private one
[03:04] <myersg> ok i wil give me a sec
[03:05] <myersg> ok now try it
[03:06] <myersg> It just give me a white screen now..
[03:07] <sweeper> 93.170.52.21 <-- current ip of mghserver.tk
[03:07] <sweeper> getting closer :P
[03:07] <Khronos> apparmor is blocking virt-manager in ubuntu 12.04
[03:07] <Khronos> it isn't allowing virt-manager to access my qemu executables
[03:09] <myersg> that doesn't matter.. if you can't get to it from the 70.246.141.196:80
[03:09] <myersg> witch is all that matters
[03:09] <sweeper> nooo
[03:09] <myersg> thats what I need to fix
[03:09] <sweeper> see what's happening is your WEB server has the domain mghserver.tk in it
[03:10] <myersg> what?
[03:10] <sweeper> so when I try just the ip, it redirects me to the domain
[03:11] <sweeper> http://70.246.141.196/owncloud/ <-- this, however, works
[03:11] <myersg> ya to http://www.mghserver.tk/owncloud/
[03:11] <myersg> what do you see?
[03:11] <myersg> its not working for me..
[03:11] <myersg> still connecting
[03:11] <sweeper> no because you would need hairpin NAT
[03:11] <tomtomman> Hi! I'm looking to set up a cloud LAMP or equivalent html/mysql/php tool
[03:12] <sweeper> your router probably won't do that for you
[03:12] <myersg> ok but what do you see?
[03:12] <sweeper> I see the owncloud page
[03:12] <myersg> it timed out on me
[03:12] <sweeper> no guarantees on being able to login
[03:12] <tomtomman> !lamp
[03:12] <myersg> try this login:
[03:12] <sweeper> well, looks like it should be able to, all the links are relative
[03:13] <myersg> give me a min
[03:13] <tomtomman> I want apache 2, mysql 5, php 5
[03:13] <pooltable> have xfce but the rannel that show the program running is not work work to fix???
[03:13] <pooltable> pannel
[03:14] <myersg> stevenswiney is your user name, and you password is 123456
[03:14] <myersg> and let me know
[03:15] <sweeper> works
[03:15] <sweeper> just uploaded a file
[03:15] <myersg>  ok thanks... what was the url?
[03:15] <pooltable> i did this but sill not working right xfwm4 --replace ???
[03:16] <tomtomman> Can anyone help me with lamp?
[03:16] <jthan> tomtomman: What do you need?
[03:16] <myersg> sweeper what was the url you used?
[03:16] <sweeper> myersg: http://70.246.141.196/owncloud/
[03:17] <sweeper> tomtomman: you are in need, first of all, of an education.
[03:17]  * sweeper ponders
[03:17] <myersg> ok.. now how do i get to owncloud?
[03:17] <sweeper> you should go there via the local address
[03:17] <tomtomman> jthan: I want to setup a lamp server I can ssh into
[03:17] <tomtomman> sweeper: I have an education...
[03:17] <sweeper> myersg: http://192.168.0.132/owncloud/
[03:17] <sweeper> iirc
[03:17] <jthan> tomtomman: Okay - and where's your hangup?
[03:17] <sweeper> err 102
[03:18] <sweeper> but you get the drift
[03:18] <sweeper> or just localhost/owncloud/
[03:18] <myersg> not working
[03:18] <myersg> ok what
[03:18] <sweeper> http://localhost/owncloud/
[03:18] <myersg> ok now it is
[03:18] <myersg> thanks
[03:18] <sweeper> yay :)
[03:19] <sweeper> fix that domain though so you can be cool
[03:19] <sweeper> e.g. home.aleksclark.com
[03:20] <myersg> sweeper :Thank YOU
[03:20] <myersg> !!!
[03:21] <tomtomman> jthan: well, a) is I have no idea where to get server service that's more basic than the common web hosts (e.g. just a shell and space and a processor and bandwidth), and b) is that I'm looking for an open source mysql frontend
[03:21] <Shano56> Hi i am trying to run "sudo apt-get install openjdk-7 openjdk-7-jdk" but i get the error "E: Unable to locate package openjdk-7" anyone know a solution?
[03:22] <chimney> heyo
[03:22] <chimney> has someone a dell studio 15 laptop with ubuntu running?
[03:23] <sweeper> tomtomman: a) linode, amazon aws b) don't use that, use the shell. you'll learn more :)
[03:23] <tomtomman> sweeper: I'm ok with learning more but i want a visual representation of my databases joined together :)
[03:24] <tomtomman> so I want "VPS hosting," then?
[03:24] <sweeper> tomtomman: http://www.dbvis.com/ <--
[03:24] <sweeper> and yea, you want a vps
[03:25] <sweeper> it will look like a 'real' server to you, but it will be cheap
[03:25] <tomtomman> sweeper: OK, but then I don't have GUI, just ssh, so how can I visualize the database? :o
[03:26] <gaelfx> I just plugged in a USB wireless card, but it doesn't show up in ifconfig or iwconfig, though it shows up in lsusb, is it possible the driver for it is blacklisted? or is there something else I need to do to get it working?
[03:26] <sweeper> tomtomman: you connect your gui to the database! that's how it works anyways, mostly
[03:26] <sweeper> the gui connects via a socket
[03:26] <sweeper> this can be a network socket, or a system socket
[03:27] <tomtomman> sweeper: so the gui is running on my home box and connects to server via a network socket? is that a security issue?
[03:27] <OerHeks> gaelfx, BCM43xx by any chance?
[03:27] <sweeper> what I would *advise* is that you not set up the server to open the mysql port to the whole wide world, just on the server's loopback interface, and use an ssh tunnel to connect the gui
[03:28] <gaelfx> OerHeks: nope, it's realtek chipset I believe
[03:28] <OerHeks> paste that line with ID please, so we can point you in the right direction
[03:29] <tomtomman> sweeper: hahaha ok; so i can figure out how to do that via the gui's documentation?
[03:29] <myersg> is it ok if I change the forwarding to http://www.mghserver.tk
[03:29] <myersg> ?
[03:30] <xyy> hello, how do i check network traffic on HBA card?
[03:31] <myersg> sweeper, I need your help again
[03:31] <gaelfx> OerHeks: were you asking me for the ID?
[03:31] <sweeper> myersg: how are you managing the IP address of that domain?
[03:31] <gaelfx> OerHeks: 148f:2878 if you were
[03:32] <myersg> I have it linked to:
[03:32] <myersg> http://70.246.141.196:80
[03:32] <sweeper> don't specify the port
[03:32] <OerHeks> gaelfx, it is a usb standard id, so to determine the driver or method to make it work
[03:32] <OerHeks> oke
[03:32] <myersg> ok
[03:32] <sweeper> a domain name should only map names to IPs
[03:33] <sweeper> ports are handled at another layer
[03:33] <Dragunov> the installer sees an lvm partition that has been deleted and rewritten as a different type and then erased again.
[03:33] <myersg> can you go to: http://www.mghserver.tk/owncloud
[03:33] <myersg> and see if that works
[03:33] <sweeper> nope, redirect loop. odd that chrome isn't catching it XD
[03:34] <sentriz> Ìû
[03:34] <myersg> can you still get to it my the 70.246.141.169/owncloud ?
[03:34] <sweeper> nope
[03:34] <sweeper> wait
[03:34] <sweeper> did you change the port forwarding? :/
[03:35] <myersg> no
[03:35] <myersg> I changed the forwarding for the mghserver.tk
[03:35] <sweeper> ok
[03:35] <myersg> now can you?
[03:35] <sweeper> no, connection refused
[03:35] <gaelfx> how can I check which drivers are blacklisted?
[03:35] <myersg> try agian
[03:35] <Shano56> fixed my issue myself, i had to use sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre
[03:36] <myersg> what every you did that one time..do it again
[03:36] <myersg> http://70.246.141.196/owncloud/ try that
[03:36] <sweeper> oh, you typo'd the IP XD
[03:36] <sweeper> yea that works
[03:37] <myersg> hmm
[03:38] <myersg> try this: MGH2SERVER.TK
[03:38] <sweeper> that works now
[03:38] <sweeper> wait
[03:38] <myersg> so you see the login?
[03:38] <sweeper> you did a url redirect instead of an A-record
[03:39] <myersg> ya
[03:39] <sweeper> silly myer
[03:39] <sweeper> do the a-record!
[03:39] <myersg> how?
[03:39] <sweeper> do you see a place to do an a-record?
[03:40] <myersg> ok now try it again, with /owncloud at the end
[03:40] <ANDERSON_COOPER> .
[03:41] <myersg> http://www.mgh2server.tk/owncloud
[03:41] <sweeper> nope, still loops
[03:41] <sweeper> bizzare that
[03:41] <gaelfx> how can I check if the driver for my wireless USB is blacklisted?
[03:42] <myersg> so the ip stuff works..but not the domain urls? darn
[03:43] <xyy> does anyone know how to check network traffic (in out bytes) on HBA card?
[03:44] <sweeper> myersg: it's weird. I'm not sure if it's your webserver's fault or the fault of the a-record
[03:45] <myersg> sweeper, check one last time: 70.246.141.961/owncloud and see if it still works
[03:45] <sweeper> your a-record says JUST 70.246.141.196, right?
[03:45] <sweeper> yea still works
[03:45] <myersg> no... give a minute
[03:46] <ANDERSON_COOPER> .
[03:46] <myersg> ya it was
[03:46] <myersg> is
[03:46] <sweeper> http://mgh2server.tk/owncloud/ <-- works
[03:46] <sweeper> www.mgh2server.tk does not work, however
[03:47] <sweeper> just fyi
[03:47] <sweeper> not a biggy
[03:47] <FloodBot1> sweeper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <myersg> ok thanks!
[03:47] <sweeper> FloodBot1: shaddup
[03:47] <NictraSavios> Is there anything useless/redundant in this fstab entry for an ntfs partition? "nosuid,nodev,noexec,users,uid=1000,gid=0,fmask=0137,dmask=0037,nofail"
[03:47] <sweeper> NictraSavios: depends on if you're using those options :P
[03:48] <NictraSavios> Yes, I know exactly what everything there does. I am just wondering if nodev and nosuit apply at all, or if having noexec is stupid since I don't have anything set to be able to have execution permissions.
[03:49] <NictraSavios> nosuid* Sorry, typo.
[03:50] <NictraSavios> Aha, I knew it! I RTM'ed some more and found out that "user" implies the nodev, nosuid and noexec options
[03:55] <KingBlooy> I'm having some trouble with displaying fonts, they all appear as boxes. Can anyone help me out?
[03:55] <gaelfx> OerHeks: I don't suppose you've had any luck figuring anything out?
[03:56] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy,  Hmm, it would seem your locals are set wrong. What language are you using? Where do you live? (US? Canada? (keep it vauge))
[03:56] <KingBlooy> English I live in the US
[03:57] <gaelfx> is there a way I can check which wireless modules are actually loaded?
[03:57] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, What fonts are giving you trouble? Did you modify any files under /etc?
[03:58] <KingBlooy> I did modify ld.so.conf in /etc
[03:59] <NictraSavios> gaelfx, lsmod | grep module_name
[03:59] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, How did you change it?
[04:01] <joaojeronimo> Anyone else having their flash video in an unwanted fast-forward mode in every website ?
[04:01] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Never mind, I don't think that's a relevant file. I honestly don't know what it does Aha!
[04:02] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Can you put the output of the command "locale" on pastebin and sending me a link to it?
[04:03] <NictraSavios> send*
[04:03] <KingBlooy> How do I do that?
[04:03] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Hmm. Nope, Try reinstalling the flash-plugin
[04:03] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios: let me try that..
[04:04] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Open terminal, and type "locale" , hit enter. Go to http://www.pastebin.com and paste the output in the box, send me the link in the address bar.
[04:04] <KingBlooy> Ok
[04:04] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Hit submit and send me the link* aha
[04:05] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, is the package's name flashplugin-downloader ?
[04:05] <KingBlooy> http://pastebin.com/djgjWzmk
[04:05] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Yes :), try "sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-downloader && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-downloader"
[04:07] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, I did that and restarted the browser, but no success... Maybe I should try Flash-Aid (the firefox extension) ?
[04:08] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, also, I noted it was installing flashplugin-downloader:i386.... and it should be installing the amd64 or 64bit version I think...
[04:08] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, http://pastebin.com/djgjWzmk
[04:09] <gaelfx> I have a USB wireless card that I just plugged in, it uses the rt3072 chipset, so it should work "out-of-the-box", but when it's plugged in, I'm not getting any wireless showing up in nm, ifconfig or iwconfig, what can I do to fix this?
[04:12] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Hmm, did you try right clicking on some flash content and making sure that the "fast-forward" option isnt checked?
[04:12] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, oh I'm sorry I didn't even know there was a fast-forward option... I'll check for that..
[04:14] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Nevermind aha, there isn't. I'm thinking back to 5-10 years ago when shockwave was still used.
[04:14] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Okay... your locales are fine. That means its the fonts.
[04:14] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, What fonts specifically are giving you problems? and where, in the terminal, on a tty, or in the desktop itself
[04:15] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, oh... well I tried the Flash-Aid options and none of the options seem to work with me (either the beta version from adobe or the stable version from the repositories...)
[04:15] <KingBlooy> When I open up Terminal it shows those boxes
[04:16] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, in the flash website it says the global settings of flash in Linux/Gnome systems are in System > Preferences > Adobe Flash Player... but I can't find that... do you know where they are ?
[04:18] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, No, I can't either. Hmm
[04:19] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, Every program I open up seems to show these boxes as the font, but File Browser seems fine.
[04:20] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Try going into Sound preferaces and disabling hdmi, also try flash-aid
[04:20] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Did you change any fonts or anything like that?
[04:20] <kelbizzle> Hello is anyone using chrome? If so, could I use you for a moment? I'm trying to reproduce an error with a page I created.
[04:20] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, already done that...
[04:20] <KingBlooy> No, it happened when I tried installing GTK+
[04:20] <NictraSavios> kelbizzle, Is chromium okay? If not, I can install Google Chrome
[04:21] <kelbizzle> NictraSavios,  sure that would make a good test too. But I wanna see if this issue happens on chrome.
[04:22] <kelbizzle> NictraSavios, http://hillsgarage.net/wpdir/?page_id=23 When you click through the page using the menu on the left the text becomes garbled. Does this happen for you?
[04:23] <NictraSavios> kelbizzle, On Chromium It's fine, so its not an upstream bug. Give me a second to try the offical Google chrome
[04:23] <thomi> does anyone know how I can tell udevd to close devices in a 'mount --bind /dev /some/other/location' filesystem?
[04:23] <kelbizzle> NictraSavios, Thank you.
[04:23] <thomi> after mounting with --bind I can't umount it since udevd still has deviced open :-/
[04:23] <RKyle> Hi, I have Ubuntu 12.04 and I disabled wireless but now I can't re-enable it. The method of disabling was unchecking the box in the network dropdown menu and the option is no longer there. It did need a restricted driver when I first installed it but it doesn't even detect it now.
[04:23] <ArchWiccan> anyone know what system76 doesn't sell a laptop with a dedicated GPU kinda blows I guess I'll need to look elsewhere for a good laptop
[04:24] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, the box fonts started appear after I tried installing GTK+ and necessary packages via Terminal.
[04:24] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Dang.. I really don't know
[04:24] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, I know, I'm making a command for you to try aha
[04:24] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, funny thing, after trying both the 32bit stable version from the repositories and the 64bit unstable version from Adobe Labs (through Flash-Aid), the videos on Firefox are now slow with some lags all the time, despite all the video loads ok... On chrome it's still in the weird fast forward mode.
[04:24] <KingBlooy> Sorry
[04:24] <gaelfx> is there something I can do to try to make Ubuntu detect my USB wireless? because it seems not to load the module or recognize it properly or something. When I first plugged the device in, it showed up as a CD (probably there are windows drivers on the device) but now I did some changes and it detects it as a wireless adapter (with a different USB device ID???), but still I don't have wireless connection available in Network Manager
[04:26] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Run this:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall --only-upgrade ttf*
[04:26] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Run this:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall --only-upgrade ttf-*
[04:26] <NictraSavios> sorry, forget the first one. Run the second
[04:27] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Weird. I'm on 64-bit 12.04 gnome-shell and mine fine
[04:27] <NictraSavios> kelbizzle, Can you send me the link again?
[04:28] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, same here... This started yesterday I don't know if it was because of some update or not but if you're ok then it's not a bug...
[04:28] <gaelfx> and I somehow managed to get it back to the old ID via modprobe -v rt2800usb :/
[04:29] <kelbizzle> Sure .
[04:29] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, I received the following error after inputting your command: "E: Sense only is not understood, try true or false."
[04:29] <kelbizzle> NictraSavios, http://hillsgarage.net/wpdir/?page_id=23
[04:30] <clark> Hey guys...I recently picked up ubuntu...learned how to make the tar.gz zip files...However I made a new tar.gz and placed it inside of another and now the initial tarball is corrupt.
[04:30] <clark> Is there anything I can do?
[04:30] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, ^.- Are you sure you put it exactly "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --upgrade-only ttf*"
[04:30] <Borillion> I can't find asound.conf in 12.04
[04:31] <Borillion> anyone know where it is?
[04:31] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, ^.- Are you sure you put it exactly "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --only-upgrade ttf*" <  sorry aha. Switched it a bit. This ones correct
[04:31] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, I copied and pasted it into Terminal.
[04:31] <NictraSavios> Borillion, Should be in ~/.asound.conf or in /var/lib/alsa
[04:31] <Borillion> ahh thanks
[04:32] <clark> This file has financial records...if anyone could throw me a bone I would appreciate it greatly.
[04:32] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Try what I just typed once more, without quotes ""sudo apt-get install --reinstall --only-upgrade ttf*"
[04:33] <NictraSavios> clark, Uh... your kinda screwed.
[04:33] <KingBlooy> NictraSavios, Still having the same problem
[04:33] <clark> NictraSavios: Why does the tarball inside of the other corrupt like it did?
[04:34] <NictraSavios> kelbizzle, Nothin. Works fine :P
[04:34] <NictraSavios> clark, Shouldnt... I've never had it happen.
[04:36] <NictraSavios> clark, Actually, on a personal note when I was just learning bash, I created a 100 level puzzel with a tar-ball inside a tar-ball inside a... yeah... 100 times, 100 tarballs in each tar ball :P. They all contained a file saying "Fail" , except for one saying "Win", and in
[04:36] <azei> hi
[04:36] <NictraSavios> clark,  So ... it should have been stable XD!
[04:36] <NictraSavios> KingBlooy, Damn... I really dont know.
[04:36] <RKyle> Hi, I have Ubuntu 12.04 and I disabled wireless but now I can't re-enable it. The method of disabling was unchecking the box in the network dropdown menu and the option is no longer there. It did need a restricted driver when I first installed it but it doesn't even detect it now.
[04:36] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, very weird: I purged everything related to flash, and now Chrome works fine but Firefox says there's an add-on missing... Does this mean Chrome has it's own bundled version of flash ?
[04:37] <clark> nictrasavios: thats what I don't get....I have picked all of this up pretty quickly and im kinda fuuuuucked now ....lol
[04:37] <azei> well i just running with ubuntu precise
[04:37] <NictraSavios> joaojeronimo, Yes, it does. Google chrome even has its own bundles libraries
[04:37] <azei> the server edition
[04:37] <azei> each time
[04:37] <NictraSavios> azei, Okay, whats your issue
[04:37] <KingBlooy> I'll try restarting my computer to see if that fixes something
[04:37] <joaojeronimo> NictraSavios, ohh... amazing...
[04:37] <NictraSavios> !ask  azei
[04:37] <azei> i reboot my reboot my server,

[04:38] <kanupatar> hi guys ,..i have a doubt..i need to help one of my friend for installing linux (ubuntu)
[04:38] <kelbizzle> NictraSavios, thanks scratching my head now.
[04:38] <kanupatar> He is having C,D,E drives and C has Windows -7
[04:38] <azei> i got the  got the keyboard in english i would like to put it in french
[04:38] <kanupatar> My doubt is whether we have the data in D and E will be available aftar installing linux at C ?
[04:38] <azei> what i have to do ?
[04:38] <Asad2005> looking for a text editor supporting taps
[04:38] <kanupatar> so should i need a back up of D and E?
[04:38] <kanupatar> also , the D and E are available as /media/sda2 and /media/sda3 ?
[04:38] <kanupatar> also i need one /swap right?
[04:38] <NictraSavios> !keyboard  > azei
[04:39] <azei> i said mr that i run
[04:39] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, Okay, for one.. if you install ubuntu on his C drive, you'll overwrite his windows install. For two, ubuntu uses sda# notation, can you stick to that? I haven't used windows in years, so It makes more sense to me in sda notation
[04:40] <azei> ubuntu precise server edition
[04:40] <azei> there is no graphical user interface
[04:40] <NictraSavios> azei, Thats wonderful. Please ask in #ubuntu-server then.
[04:40] <azei> how to do that using command line ?
[04:40] <azei> ok cool
[04:41] <kanupatar> NictraSavios: sda1 - c , sda2- d.sda3-e
[04:41] <NictraSavios> ... Whoa I'm so confused now Okay, I had like 6 people going at once before. Did I forget to awnser anyone?
[04:41] <teratoma> is this dns w/ dnsmasq on 127.0.0.1 stuff supposed to always work?
[04:42] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, Okay, So which one are you installing ubuntu on as root?
[04:42] <kelbizzle> Anyone know how to cleanly reinstall a package? I used sudo apt-get -reinstall install google-chrome-stable and it didn't work.
[04:42] <kanupatar> sda1
[04:42] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, sda1? Well, as long as you don't overwrite the partitons, then you can mount them using fstab easily
[04:42] <kelbizzle> Well It reinstalled it but it still had all the same data.
[04:43] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, Just don't touch them at all during the install and I dont see any problems :P
[04:43] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, If your paranoid, backup anyway. It never hurts to backup everything
[04:43] <andrezypaco> hi, everyone, i have a problem here, that i am using this empathy on my ubuntu to chat in irc, but how can i get the room list to show up? it's just hard to remeber the names...
[04:44] <gaelfx> I'm trying to get my USB wireless card to work, but when I plug it in, I still don't have any wireless options in NM (ie it only shows wired connection, it doesn't show ANYTHING for wireless, including enbale/disable), any ideas how to fix this?
[04:45] <NictraSavios> kanupatar, I re read everything, one more thing... make sure not to mark them for formating
[04:46] <kanupatar> NictraSavios: fstab how?
[04:46] <NictraSavios> I'm going down for a reboot' brb later
[04:46] <NictraSavios> kanupatar,  Google it :P "Mount external data partitons using fstab"
[04:47] <NictraSavios> If there ntfs partitons, I've got one of them myself so I can tell you how to do the mount options
[04:47] <NictraSavios> brb
[04:47] <gaelfx> ew, NTFS? that's gross
[04:48] <kelbizzle> andrezypaco, I never figured it out. so I switched to Xchat.
[04:48] <gaelfx> andrezypaco: irssi is pretty nice too
[04:49] <andrezypaco> ok, thx, i used to be using xchat, too, just i reinstalled this 12.04, so i thought i might want to stick with the default one
[04:50] <kelbizzle> ahh I see, empathy isn't polished very nicely imho.
[04:50] <teratoma> kelbizzle: there is a magican dpkg incantation to totally remove all trace and then install the default files associated with a package, but ican't remember what it is right now
[04:51] <andrezypaco> yeah. still i think the one app for one task is best way to do sometimes
[04:51] <sgerbino> any gtk+ pros in the house?
[04:52] <juboba> hello I'm having problems with flash player and full screen mode. It does not work.
[04:54] <juboba> anybody can help?
[04:54] <andrezypaco> juboba, i had that problem, now i use chromium/chrome only when it comes to flash
[04:54] <juboba> please
[04:55] <juboba> andrezypaco, I'm using chrome
[04:55] <gaelfx> andrezypaco: you can always install Pidgin, if you like. I think it's the default client in Lubuntu, iirc
[04:55] <kelbizzle> I just did  sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome-stable. and now apt is telling me it can't located the package.
[04:55] <kelbizzle> fml
[04:55] <andrezypaco> try the synaptics instead
[04:56] <andrezypaco> i am using chromium now, it works fine
[04:56] <juboba> anybody know why in Ubuntu 12.04 flash full screen mode doens't work?
[04:56] <gaelfx> juboba: works for me
[04:57] <juboba> gaelfx, ohh ok
[04:57] <deepspeed> It works out of full screen mode?
[04:57] <deepspeed> if so, you've got a real bug.  If not, install the web-extras from bodhi, or at least flash.
[04:57] <deepspeed> Maybe reinstall it and see what happens.
[04:57] <juboba> deepspeed, full screen goes back to normal mode
[04:57] <juboba> deepspeed, how should I reinstall it?
[04:58] <deepspeed> in synaptic, click the box beside the package and click re-install.
[04:58] <andrezypaco> juboba: are you usin the property graphic driver? i can only use the free one
[04:59] <juboba> andrezypaco, I'm using the free one too
[04:59] <andrezypaco> juboba: then i have no idea... sorry, no can help
[05:00] <juboba> deepspeed, reinstalling... let's see
[05:00] <gaelfx> my USB wireless card doesn't seem to be properly detected by Ubuntu, can someone help me figure it out?
[05:01] <juboba> thanks deepspeed that worked
[05:02] <juboba> well
[05:02] <juboba> once
[05:02] <juboba> now it's not working again
[05:02] <juboba> damm
[05:03] <AlecTaylor> hi
[05:04] <AlecTaylor> How stable is 12.10?
[05:04] <juboba> deepspeed, any other ideas?
[05:04] <deepspeed> Try to completely uninstall it.
[05:04] <juboba> purge?
[05:05] <deepspeed> And then install it from scratch again.
[05:05] <deepspeed> indeed.
[05:05] <jthan> AlecTaylor: At this point? Eh.. You'd probably be alright.

[05:07] <n1ckn4me09876543> I'm trying to use Kamerka for my webcam, on the settings there is Devic Node: where I typed in the path for my camera, how would i do this, is there a command to find out what hardware i got connected and stuff?
[05:12] <Tailor> jthan: Alright, I'll download and install myself a copy
[05:12] <blaasdf> does anybody know if django can connect to mysql/drizzle/mariadb or postgresql databases by default?
[05:13] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: don't know if you remember, but we were talking before about my NFS being slow, the reason was Broadcom STA wireless driver, I removed it and it works fine all the time now

[05:15] <Chris_ubuntu> Hi - is anyone willing to give a newbe some assistance setting up an HP printer over wifi?
[05:16] <gavgav> whois lucian
[05:16] <gavgav> ba=jdiwchjnwidvoc efo3rufh83qwrun
[05:16] <Chris_ubuntu> exit
[05:17] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, is your printer compatible with ubuntu?
[05:17] <[snake]> Can you use C with spreadsheet files? (i.e. with LibreOffice) Or maybe even with databases?
[05:17] <AlecTaylor> [snake]: Yes
[05:17] <gaelfx> I'm trying to get my USB wireless card to work, but when I plug it in, I still don't have any wireless options in NM (ie it only shows wired connection, it doesn't show ANYTHING for wireless, including enbale/disable), any ideas how to fix this?
[05:17] <AlecTaylor> [snake]: There's an API for it
[05:17] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle - I believe it is.  I am printing from a computer that has a network cable plugged into the back
[05:18] <kelbizzle> That's cool. as long as it's compatible.
[05:18] <gry> Chris_ubuntu: hi, yes, this sounds like a right channel for that
[05:18] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: I also believe it is from my research on the net.  It is a HP M1212nf
[05:18] <gry> Chris_ubuntu: what hardware are you using and what steps did you try please
[05:19] <Chris_ubuntu> gry: I am using a Dell Inspirion laptop...
[05:19] <[snake]> AlecTaylor, thanks, what's it called? I can maybe figure out the rest myself.
[05:19] <gavgav> i am using dell latitude :)
[05:19] <Chris_ubuntu> gry: I tried using hplip to connect via it's USB 802.11 discovery "wizard"
[05:20] <gry> (just don't address me please, I try to get you give more details but I'd likely disappear soon so someone else would be helping you)
[05:20] <AlecTaylor> [snake]: Just Google "LibreOffice C API"
[05:20] <AlecTaylor> You'll find it pretty quick
[05:20] <gaelfx> the USB wireless card uses rt3072 chipset, which should work with the rt2800usb driver, but even with the module loaded, the system doesn't seem to recognize the USB as a wireless adapter
[05:20] <gavgav> con-man is from budapest xD
[05:21] <kelbizzle> ?
[05:22] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, was your device discovered when you used the wizard?
[05:23] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: no, that was the problem.  Yet, I know the device is communicating because I can print a test page
[05:23] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, was the usb connected when you tried?
[05:23] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: I had to sudo to install the hp plugin, which did work.  Yes, the USB was connected
[05:24] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, did you run it using sudo?
[05:24] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: yes I did
[05:25] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, alright only some printer need that.
[05:25] <ome> is there a runlevel on ubuntu with the X server ?
[05:25] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, are you connecting this to your wifi network? or are you printing directly to it?
[05:26] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: I hope I can answer this question correctly.  I think the answer is over my wifi network, which is currently working (I am using it as we speak)
[05:26] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: I just can't seem to print over the wifi network.
[05:27] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, okay, are you able to connected the printer to your wifi network manually on the screen of the printer?
[05:27] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: even though hcups recognizes which printer I am trying to install over wifi
[05:28] <gavgav> Chris_Ubuntu: how do you change clock on gnome from military time to regular?
[05:28] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: OK, just a sec.  Let me confirm that last question for you
[05:28] <Chris_ubuntu> gavgav: sorry, no idea
[05:28] <kelbizzle> gavgav, right click on the clock and goto time and date settings.
[05:29] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: so you are asking me to go to my hp printer led screed and connect from printer to laptop, corrrect?
[05:29] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu,  no join it to your wifi network.
[05:30] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: but from the printer itself?  Sorry if I am not understanding.
[05:30] <goulosh> my sound has stopped working
[05:30] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, quite alright. Yes from the printer lcd you should be able to setup the wifi settings.
[05:31] <gaelfx> my USB wireless is not being detected properly, what can I do?
[05:31] <gogli> during startup of my ubuntu 12.04 , it always gave me an error "System Error " & "Unexpected Error " . I know their is no problem in my ubuntu but still it gave me this error .Please help me how to stop ubuntu to gave this error
[05:31] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: OK, let me give that a try.  I assume I should pull the usb cord connecting the 2 machines before I try?
[05:32] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, yes I would.
[05:33] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: OK.  give me a minute and I will give it a go.  Where are you located in the world Kelbizzle, just to give our conversation a little personal interest (if I may ask).
[05:34] <gogli> ?
[05:34] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, east US.
[05:35] <gaelfx> ok, I just looked at dmesg and it seems to say that my USB wireless is being detected as USB storage upon insertion, I assume because it has the software on some flash it must have built-in, but how can I  make Ubuntu detect the wireless adapter portion of the USB?
[05:35] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: Got it. I am west.  OK, I went to LCD screen, but no real luck.  I can't even get it to display IP address (I thought of pinging it).  Any thoughts?
[05:36] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, is this the printer you have? http://www.staples.com/HP-LaserJet-Pro-M1212nf-Multifunction-Printer/product_858613
[05:36] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: yes it is
[05:37] <goulosh> how can i fix my sound
[05:37] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: I found my IP  address of printer.... printed test page
[05:37] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, as it turns out. That printer does not have wifi.
[05:37] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, is it connected via ethernet?
[05:37] <gaelfx> http://pastebin.com/T3ppchJ3
[05:38] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: Oh, well I wonder how my wife is printing to it.
[05:38] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: Yes, it is
[05:38] <gaelfx> ^ is being detected as storage despite being a wireless adapter, any advice?
[05:38] <goulosh> Ubuntu 12.04 is having sound issues
[05:38] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, ahhh so you have it connected to the router with an either net cable
[05:38] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, you just neet to add the printer now on your laptop using the ip address.
[05:38] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: Dumby me.  I have a nice fat network cable running into the back of it.  Yes, you just described the setup
[05:39] <kelbizzle> Chris_ubuntu, you can use the wizard but this time select network
[05:39] <Chris_ubuntu> kelbizzle: right!  It is just like sewing in a new IP port on windows

[06:06] <RKyle> Hi, I have Ubuntu 12.04 and I disabled wireless but now I can't re-enable it. The method of disabling was unchecking the box in the network dropdown menu and the option is no longer there. It did need a restricted driver when I first installed it but it doesn't even detect it now.

[07:00] <tiger> dont mind my english
[07:00] <fidel> tiger: you need to ask clear & understandable questions - describing your issues with ubuntu. if you do so - and it gives all relevant informastions its most likely someone inhere will help.
[07:01] <bkerensa> gogli: If the LIVE USB is not set to discard data then you could replace it yes and it would store changes
[07:01] <bkerensa> tiger: Might I suggest trying #ubuntu-in
[07:01] <tiger> ok borther.listen i have custmize ubuntu 12.04.and now i want to change installer graphics and default background and panels
[07:01] <fidel> on the other hand - if you are asking non-usual questions - and people would need to ask 5 extra-questions to even understand your basic problem - changes are sinking that you'll get help ...thats just normal

[07:04] <Ghosthunter007> ok point me to a link for the sound issues in 12.04

[07:12] <dryhay> fidel:  Maybe there is somewhere a proper equivalent for webcamstudio?
[07:12] <fidel> gogli: are you refering to ubuntu-tweak? vs tweek?
[07:12] <lrcaballero> metallicMonk: just ask...and hopefully someone can help
[07:13] <fidel> dryhay: as i havent read the project page and you havent mentioned the function - i dont know ;)
[07:13] <gogli> fidal  : 1.ubuntu tweek   2.advance setting , they are easy to use
[07:13] <fidel> gogli: if so - please dont try to confuse ppl by accident wrong package names ;)
[07:13] <metallicMonk> Okay, Awesome. So here's the deal. I'm trying to install minecraft on ubuntu, downloaded wine, did all the fun stuff, and now when I try to execute my .exe..it won't do anything. I even tried to run it through terminal but it says that it's not found in the .wine/C:
[07:13] <metallicMonk> which I can not access.
[07:14] <gogli> fidel : sorry ! haha
[07:14] <fidel> gogli: its most likely ubuntu-tweak you are talking about - not 'ubuntu tweeks' ..right? ;)
[07:14] <dryhay> fidel:  I want to use chatroulette. I can't get in. My webcam is not working as well.
[07:14] <fidel> so consider checking before you mention package-names. Thanks ;)
[07:14] <psicho> I'm using dnsmasq on ubuntu , i have explicitly set in config that it should only "listen" for wlan0 however it looks like its listening for everynetwork interface, because if i try to connect to internet from within the ubuntu machine i always get redirected according to the config file for dnsmasq , any idea what might be wrong? I have used the very same config file on a debian machine and it has been working there
[07:14] <gogli> fidel : : )
[07:14] <DJones> metallicMonk: There is a linux client for minecraft, you don't need wine to play minecraft
[07:14] <fidel> dryhay: first try to get cheese to work - some kind of default app to access and use webcams
[07:14] <metallicMonk> Seriously?!
[07:14] <DJones> metallicMonk: Yep, thats what I use
[07:14] <metallicMonk> Awesome!
[07:15] <fidel> if that works - check if your cam works for other uses too- at least that would be my way ..while i do nothing with webcams myself
[07:15] <DJones> metallicMonk: Give me a sec, I'll find the link
[07:15] <dryhay> fidel:  cheese is not recognizing my Creative webcam.
[07:15] <lrcaballero> metallicMonk: try this thread on the Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1924282 and see if it helps you at all
[07:16] <fidel> dryhay: then check out your webcams model and search for that one in combination with your ubuntu-version
[07:16] <fidel> dryhay: such devices usualy have a clear model-string/name
[07:16] <fidel> i assume you are missing the driver for your one right now
[07:17] <Balask> I have gotten my webcam to work with Ubuntu (man was that hard) in cheese but when I do a test in Skype it shows a black screen.  Do you think it will work in an actual call?

[07:28] <daoneunv> Doesn't matter.. No drivers.
[07:28] <daoneunv> Was trying to start my wlan

[07:28] <Cottus> :(
[07:29] <jthan> Last time I dealt with intel wireless and linux in general it was iffy, so I wouldn't push it off on Ubuntu.
[07:29] <jthan> There are plenty of solutions, though
[07:29] <daoneunv> Ye but now I have to go all the way to the living room
[07:29] <daoneunv> & out my ethernet in..

[07:30] <psicho> in other words debug why other devices are unable to connect to my hotspot
[07:31] <daoneunv> Oh.
[07:31] <daoneunv> Login to your router.
[07:31] <psicho> i would prefer a windows tool :)
[07:31] <companion> psicho, try metasploit :P
[07:31] <psicho> no its not a router
[07:31] <companion> it has wifi debugging stuff
[07:31] <psicho> its a pc box running ubuntu server

[07:58] <tzdanof> massdivide, http://i.imgur.com/mSs3a.png
[07:59] <massdivide> tzdanof, it looks like its mounted... are you trying to resize the drive while in your linux 0S?
[07:59] <Guest53401> massdivide: when being asked for the keyring password, I cannot do anything else - neither writing here, nor taking a screenshot. But I can copy it to my notebook and write it here...
[08:00] <tzdanof> massdivide, yeah but its my windows partition? is there a way to unmount it?
[08:01] <tzdanof> massdivide, how can i resize it?
[08:01] <PapaSierra> please see my question above ^^, more info: if i install php 5.3.10 it works, but if i install 5.4.4 it doesn't. does this mean i need to do something with apt-get update?
[08:01] <massdivide> tzdanof, try a live CD.
[08:02] <massdivide> tzdanof, if your ubuntu install is not on that partition, right click and unmount it
[08:02] <tzdanof> massdivide, why does my windows partition automount itself anyway?
[08:02] <massdivide> tzdanof, check your fstab. It shouldn't unless you opened it.
[08:03] <tzdanof> fstab?
[08:03] <tzdanof> massdivide, fstab?
[08:03] <ranveer5289_> tzdanof:  nano /etc/fstab
[08:03] <brainwave> Guys how to actually check at which address is a file stored? I have an sdcard, with a linux kernel on it, to make the uboot script for it, i need to know exactly where the kernel is stored
[08:03] <ghostchick> sudo umount  -a
[08:04] <Guest53401> massdivide: this is the view a moment before the request for keyring password: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9to8sp&s=6
[08:05] <Guest53401> massdivide: look at "The user cancelled a prompt". this what happens after I cancel after a few unsuccesful password enter tries.
[08:05] <massdivide> Guest53401, it wants your ubuntu one password not your localhost password. Try the "I forgot my password" button.
[08:05] <gaelfx> my USB wireless adapter seems to be unrecognized by network manager, though it shows up in lsusb. I investigated dmesg to find it's being mounted as storage, presumably because it has windows drivers on some kind of flash disk in the dongle, but I was wondering if anyone could help me get it working?
[08:05] <Guest53401> massdivide: I know that. I know my ubuntu one password as well. What I was saying is that after I click "sign in" it asks for my keyring password, and does not accept my regular ubuntu login password.
[08:06] <massdivide> Guest53401, its trying to store the password or recall it from the keyring. What version of ubuntu?
[08:06] <ghostchick> tzdanof,  sudo umount  -a
[08:06] <massdivide> gaelfx, what adapter.
[08:06] <Guest53401> massdivide: 12.04
[08:07] <massdivide> ghostchick, he has a partition mounted with his operating system.

[08:09] <tzdanof> yes
[08:09] <massdivide> Guest53401, have you set a root password?
[08:09] <tzdanof> massdivide, http://i.imgur.com/5QZqS.png
[08:10] <Guest53401> massdivide: I have not installed it, a computer guy has done that. He says he has not set any password but my login password, but I suspect he might be wrong. He's not here to help any more.
[08:10] <massdivide> tzdanof, the only thing else it could be is that your system is attempting to mount it or you have drive protection through S.M.A.R.T or a similar program, or it is in a raid array.
[08:10] <Saiki> Guest24011 type sudo -i and put your password in

[08:11] <Angana> Anybody know which client is good for Yahoo Audio/Video chat

[08:12] <RKyle> Hi, I have Ubuntu 12.04 and I disabled wireless but now I can't re-enable it. The method of disabling was unchecking the box in the network dropdown menu and the option is no longer there. It did need a restricted driver when I first installed it but it doesn't even detect it now.
[08:12] <Guest53401> massdivide: ok, I do have a root password now, but it is not the keyring password.
[08:12] <Angana> lrcaballero : audio/video is not enabled on that
[08:13] <Angana> lrcaballero: i am unable to use that facility..
[08:13] <Saiki> Guest24011: did you sudo -i?
[08:13] <Saiki> welcome back gogli
[08:13] <lrcaballero> Angana: then try Xchat
[08:13] <Angana> Okey...lrcaballero.
[08:13] <Angana> will try..
[08:13] <SwedeMike> RKyle: what does rfkill say? http://www.digimantra.com/linux/rfkill-enabledisable-wireless-linux-laptop/
[08:14] <gogli> lrcaballero  : hey ! how to delete ubuntu admin from live usb ?
[08:14] <Guest53401> Saiki: were you talking to me?
[08:14] <Saiki> Guest24011: yes
[08:14] <Angana> lrcaballero : x chat is not for ubuntu
[08:15] <gaelfx> massdivide: I take it you've no ideas then?
[08:15] <Angana> it is for fedora
[08:15] <Guest53401> well, I'm not 24011 :) I have chenged successfully the root password, but this has not changed the keyring password.
[08:15] <Saiki> Angablade: Xchat works on ubuntu as well
[08:15] <Guest53401> Saiki: well, I'm not 24011 :) I have chenged successfully the root password, but this has not changed the keyring password.
[08:15] <Angana> oh ..
[08:15] <Angana> ok ..
[08:15] <Saiki> Guest53401: too many guests lol
[08:16] <RKyle> SwedeMike, Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no.
[08:16] <massdivide> gaelfx, could you send me a direct link to the adapter, i cannot seem to locate it.
[08:16] <gaelfx> massdivide: hang on
[08:16] <lrcaballero> Angana: try empathy is in your software center

[08:16] <gaelfx> massdivide: http://www.tenda.cn/tendacn/product/show.aspx?productid=360&type=1
[08:17] <Angana> every where problem is same...audio/video is not enabled..
[08:17] <massdivide> Saiki, do you think somehow his keyring is restricted?
[08:17] <Saiki> massdivide: it could be..
[08:17] <massdivide> Saiki, I don't trust the keyring. I disable it by default :)
[08:17] <SwedeMike> RKyle: try unblocking it with rfkill then.
[08:18] <Guest53401> massdivide: I'd do that as well, if I'd known how
[08:18] <Saiki> Guest53401: how familiiar ar you with ubuntu?
[08:18] <lrcaballero> gobli: see if this can help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014968
[08:18] <massdivide> gaelfx, ndiswrapper?
[08:18] <Guest53401> Saiki: closely. I'm working with it in the passed 4-5 years (since 7.04)
[08:18] <RKyle> SwedeMike, I just did and it didn't work, should I try to reboot?
[08:18] <SwedeMike> RKyle: is it "blocked: no" everywhere now?
[08:19] <RKyle> SwedeMike, Correct.
[08:19] <Saiki> Guest53401: and excuse the possible rudeness.. but if you've been working with it so long, why aren't you able to insall it?
[08:19] <SwedeMike> RKyle: hm, oki, out of ideas then, you could try rebooting and see if that helps.
[08:19] <Guest53401> Saiki: of course I'm able to install that; but this is in my office, and they have their own computer people to do the job.
[08:19] <massdivide> RKyle, whats the issue?
[08:20] <tzdanof> massdivide, no luck
[08:20] <massdivide> tzdanof, hm. something must be locking the system.
[08:20] <Saiki> Guest53401: then they definatly put a root key in
[08:20] <tzdanof> massdivide, ):
[08:20] <RKyle> massdivide, I disabled wireless through the drop down menu and now I can't re-enable it because the option is completely gone.
[08:20] <Saiki> tzdanof: you're trying to mount NTFS on ubuntu?
[08:20] <tzdanof> any one else know?
[08:20] <tzdanof> Saiki, no, trying to resize NTFS partition
[08:21] <Saiki> tzdanof: mount and unmount it first
[08:21] <massdivide> RKyle, whats the adapter called in ifconfig -a ?
[08:21] <tzdanof> Saiki, i tried it already. will again tho
[08:21] <Guest53401> Saiki: well, the guy says he hasn't. But either way - I have set a new root password, which is mine. What I don't know, is how I can use it to modify/reset/cancel the annoying keyring thingy.
[08:22] <gaelfx> massdivide: I was hoping to use the rt2800usb driver, I don't want ndiswrapper crap on my system
[08:22] <Saiki> Guest24011: give me about 5 mins to install some server packages and I'll load up a live CD and have a look for where it is
[08:22] <Saiki> Guest53401: give me about 5 mins to install some server packages and I'll load up a live CD and have a look for where it is
[08:22] <Saiki> Guest24011: sorry..
[08:22] <t00tie> hi, how can I remote desktop both ways between windows7 and 12.04?
[08:22] <massdivide> gaelfx, that would be the simpliest way to get it to work. and the only known method i could find out for ya.
[08:22] <gaelfx> massdivide: the issue is, the USB is detected, but the wireless adapter doesn't seem to be, like Jockey doesn't even offer the rt2870sta driver that should work for this adapter
[08:22] <Saiki> t00tie: VNC can do that, I think..
[08:22] <zetheroo> I have a bunch of files that look something like this 'file_1234_12:00:00' and I need to replace all the ':' symbols with '-'
[08:23] <RKyle> massdivide, Not sure, br0, eth0, and eth1 look exactly the same.
[08:23] <Saiki> RKyle: look for wlan0
[08:23] <massdivide> gaelfx, i had a similar issue with a sprint adapter that had its drivers on a 32mb nand
[08:23] <massdivide> RKyle, try iwconfig
[08:23] <tzdanof> Saiki, is there a link you have for better mounting instructions?
[08:23] <Guest53401> Saiki: I have launched ubuntu one installer under sudo -i, and it has asked me for a new keyring password. let's see where it is going to...
[08:23] <RKyle> Saiki, No wlan0
[08:23] <zetheroo> anyone know of a command which would accomplish this for me? (awk, sed, rename ... !?)
[08:23] <gogli> lrcaballero  : sorry ! but it didn't help me
[08:24] <Saiki> tzdanof: try adding -o force to the mount command
[08:24] <gaelfx> massdivide: well, I guess I'll have to keep trying other stuff then
[08:24] <massdivide> RKyle, in iwconfig which one doesn't have "no wireless extensions"
[08:24] <RKyle> massdivide, There is only one and it is eth1.
[08:24] <geirha> zetheroo: Are they all in the same dir?
[08:25] <zetheroo> geirha:  yes
[08:25] <lrcaballero> gogli: are your able to create newaccounts?
[08:25] <massdivide> RKyle, does it say "no wireless extensions"?
[08:25] <gaelfx> I guess first I need to get the system to recognize it as a wireless adapter rather than a USB storage device, any idea how I might be able to do that?
[08:25] <gogli> lrcaballero  : yes i can
[08:25] <RKyle> massdivide, On eth1 no, the rest yes.
[08:25] <massdivide> gaelfx, the driver controls that aspect
[08:25] <Guest53401> Saiki: I can login to ubuntu one from console as root, but when trying to do it normally it still asks for my keyring password, which is not the one I have set as root.
[08:25] <lrcaballero> gogli: are you able to delete user accounts?
[08:25] <Saiki> #/bin/bash is for sh scrips, right?
[08:25] <geirha> zetheroo: rename -v 's/:/-/g' *:*
[08:26] <massdivide> RKyle,  ifconfig eth1 up
[08:26] <gogli> lrcaballero : for ubuntu admin : no and rest : yes
[08:26] <tzdanof> Saiki, )>
[08:26] <massdivide> RKyle, sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[08:26] <geirha> zetheroo: after changing (cd) to the directory in question
[08:26] <RKyle> massdivide, Worked, thanks!
[08:27] <zetheroo> geirha: so cool - that worked! Thanks a million ...
[08:27] <Saiki> Guest53401: I haven't use a desktop in a while, I'm on a server editon atm
[08:27] <massdivide> RKyle, No problem mate. Easy fix.
[08:27] <lrcaballero> gogli: I know that by default this account is created so that you can install and remove software when taking Ubuntu for a spin...therefor you may NOT delete the admin account!
[08:27] <tzdanof> Saiki, could it be the problem at the bottom? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm
[08:27] <micw> hi
[08:28] <Guest53401> Saiki: ok, so should I wait or do you wish to abandone it?
[08:28] <micw> i wanto to install an ubuntu 12.04 server from a running debian using depootstrap
[08:28] <lrcaballero> gogli: this is just the most logical guess
[08:28] <Saiki> Guest53401: I need to write a quick shell script, then I can load up a livecd
[08:28] <micw> so i do: debootstrap --arch amd64 precise 999 http://kambing.ui.ac.id/ubuntu/
[08:28] <tzdanof> Saiki, it does have flag boot though
[08:28] <micw> (999 is the existign target directory)
[08:28] <Guest53401> Saiki: cool, thanks; so I'm staying here.
[08:29] <micw> but it fails because the "precise" script is missing
[08:29] <tzdanof> massdivide, is it an extended partition? my NTFS one
[08:29] <gogli> lrcaballero  : well i try sudo visudo and change sudoers  and succeed but still don't delete it becuase of the following error
[08:29] <Saiki> Guest53401: yea, won't take me long, promise :)
[08:30] <massdivide> tzdanof, the sliders won't move?
[08:30] <lrcaballero> gogli: try with gksu at the beggining from shell
[08:30] <tzdanof> tzdanof, sliders?
[08:30] <tzdanof> massdivide, only backwords
[08:30] <tzdanof> massdivide, wont go beyond 76 gb
[08:31] <massdivide> tzdanof, the rest is swap...
[08:31] <tzdanof> massdivide, even though i have 120 gb unallocated
[08:31] <gogli> lrcaballero  :   sudo userdel ubuntu
[08:31] <gogli> userdel: user ubuntu is currently logged in
[08:31] <massdivide> tzdanof, oh i see now.
[08:31] <massdivide> tzdanof, gimme a sec
[08:31] <lrcaballero> gogli: can you switch users? and then try it...
[08:31] <tzdanof> massdivide, there is an option for swapoff though
[08:31] <tzdanof> Saiki,  any ideas?
[08:32] <gogli> lrcaballero  : how to brutally logout other user
[08:32] <Saiki> tzdanof: can you get a scrrenshot of the error?
[08:32] <massdivide> tzdanof, send me that screen again
[08:33] <gogli> lrcaballero  : how to switch from terminal ?
[08:33] <tzdanof> Saiki, massdivide http://i.imgur.com/mSs3a.png

[08:33] <Saiki> tzdanof: that's not an error

[08:34] <StarryNight> anyone knows how to convert mp3 to caf?
[08:34] <Saiki> Guest53401: loading a VM now. it's being a little slow
[08:34] <Guest53401> Saiki: solved! I have deleted the .keyring file from ~/.gnome2/keyrings
[08:34] <Guest53401> Saiki: then I could just set a new one...
[08:35] <Saiki> Guest53401: hat works then lol
[08:35] <tzdanof> Saiki, what is it? why cant i increase its size?
[08:35] <gogli>  lrcaballero : su ubuntu
[08:35] <gogli> Unknown id: ubuntu
[08:35] <Saiki> tzdanof: easy, the partion has a neighbor
[08:36] <massdivide> gogli, you trying to kick someone?
[08:36] <tzdanof> Saiki, ? the other NTFS one?
[08:36] <Saiki> tzdanof: you see that unalocated space at the end?
[08:36] <tzdanof> Saiki, yeah
[08:36] <tzdanof> Saiki, i want to add it to the NTFS one
[08:36] <Saiki> tzdanofyou need the to "move" to the other end of the drive
[08:37] <gogli> massdivide  : i think yes .   i want to delete ubuntu(by default) admin from live usb
[08:37] <tzdanof> Saiki, how
[08:37] <Saiki> tzdanof: move sda4 all the way right, then move sda3, then sda2
[08:37] <tzdanof> Saiki, fml
[08:37] <Saiki> tzdanof: er.. not 2, just 3 and 4
[08:37] <massdivide> gogli, temporarily?
[08:37] <tzdanof> Saiki, 4 unmovable cos im in it
[08:38] <massdivide> StarryNight, acorrding to google, you can just rename it .caf
[08:38] <tzdanof> Saiki, how do you move partitions
[08:38] <gogli> massdivide : Haha ! NO ! permanently .
[08:38] <Saiki> tzdanof: use a livecd, and you should eb able to just push them over
[08:38] <RKyle> Okay, new issue. I try to connect to my WPA Personal AES protected network and it tries to connect then asks for the password and repeats.
[08:38] <massdivide> gogli, install ubuntu? lol
[08:38] <tzdanof> Saiki, none of them are pushable atm
[08:38] <Saiki> RKyle: laptop?
[08:39] <RKyle> Saiki, Yes.
[08:39] <Saiki> tzdanof: are you on a LIVEcd?
[08:39] <tzdanof> Saiki, even though NTFS is resizable/movable
[08:39] <AdvoWork> how come if i run wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/program files/adobe/whatever.exe in the terminal, it works fine, but if i make a launcher as an application it won't. If i do a launcher but use terminal it works again but then has a spare terminal which I dont need?
[08:39] <Saiki> RKyle: are you surrently n it?
[08:39] <tzdanof> Saiki, no but i was
[08:39] <Saiki> currently*
[08:39] <gaelfx> I need help getting ubuntu to recognize my wireless adapter as a wireless adapter rather than USB storage, can anyone assist?
[08:39] <gogli> massdivde  : i already installed on my live usb , but i'm sick of ubuntu admin
[08:39] <StarryNight> thanks i will try that
[08:39] <Saiki> tzdanof: load the ntfs os partion let it do its check. it probably got flaged
[08:40] <RKyle> Saiki, Yes.
[08:40] <massdivide> RKyle, 1 of 3 things. 1. You card doesn't support full AES, choose a hybrid AES/TKIP option. 2. you have a WPS feature that you gotta enable. 3. You have mac filtering.
[08:40] <lrcaballero> AdvoWork: everytime you invoke an app from terminal, the app is running from the terminal tehrfore it will continue to be open and if you close it you will also terminate the app.
[08:41] <Saiki> RKyle: this may sound stupid, but how close to the router are you?
[08:41] <massdivide> gogli, say what?
[08:41] <RKyle> massdivide, It has worked before.
[08:41] <RKyle> Saiki, 30 feet maybe? I have 5 bars on my desktop.
[08:41] <massdivide> RKyle, your wpa-supplicant might not be running. reboot the system
[08:42] <gogli> massdivide : i want to see my login screen on ubuntu live usb
[08:42] <gogli> massdivide  : can you tell me  how ?
[08:42] <massdivide> gogli, the live usb is designed to install ubuntu and reboot.
[08:43] <gogli> massdivide : O ! but i'm using persistence Live uSB
[08:43] <massdivide> gogli,  so you wanna be root and remove ubuntu user/
[08:44] <gogli> massdivide : well, i have done half jod and now i want t delete ubuntu
[08:44] <massdivide> gogli, sudo userdel ubuntu
[08:44] <tzdanof> Saiki: im gonna go crazy lol
[08:44] <ikonia> gogli: do not remove the ubuntu user
[08:44] <tzdanof> Saiki:  cant move anything
[08:44] <ikonia> gogli: that is your account to use
[08:44] <tzdanof> Saiki:  in live CD atm
[08:44] <josef__> Hi I hesitate between ubuntu 12.04 and linuxmint 13 cinnamon. It's the same thing for me but which of them is more complete and customizable ?
[08:44] <gogli> ikonia : What ?
[08:45] <massdivide> ikonia, I think he wants it to be a root "only" system.
[08:45] <josef__> for u
[08:45] <ikonia> that is not a good idea
[08:45] <ikonia> the whole security model is built around sudo
[08:45] <tzdanof> massdivide: still SOL
[08:45] <xCessive> Hey, what's the easiest way to add Windows Active Directory Groups to the sudoers List? I already did the domain join, but adding groups from AD to the file doesn't seem to work.
[08:45] <RKyle> massdivide, Still the same thing, is it possible to force it on?
[08:45] <massdivide> ikonia, for some people, sudo is 10 seconds of extra time
[08:45] <ikonia> xCessive: you'll need to tell pam to use the ldap resolver libraries
[08:45] <gogli> ikonia : i think i can do that
[08:45] <lrcaballero> gogli: read what I mentioned earlier about the purpose of the admin account
[08:45] <ikonia> massdivide: that's what "sudo -i" is for
[08:46] <ikonia> gogli: then do it if you want to do it, but please don't ask this channel how to break your machine
[08:46] <massdivide> ikonia, still requires a password.
[08:46] <gogli> ok ! ikonia , i have a question
[08:46] <ikonia> xCessive: from that point your sudo entries using the AD groups should work
[08:46] <tzdanof> . what to do know
[08:46] <tzdanof> anybody?
[08:46] <tzdanof> plz
[08:46] <ikonia> xCessive: it can be a fiddle to work with, but once it's working it's straight forward
[08:46] <tzdanof> never knew increasing a partitions size would be this much of a pain in the ***
[08:47] <lrcaballero> tzdanof: ask
[08:47] <massdivide> ikonia, so does sudo su, that also gives you root@localhost, but some people don't like entering passwords, I for one use a biometric reader and send it to PAM
[08:47] <Saiki> tzdanof: I'll be right back, need to reboot my PC
[08:47] <ikonia> tzdanof: is the partiton in use
[08:47] <ikonia> massdivide: no, that's is a terrible idea
[08:47] <tzdanof> ikonia: on live CD
[08:47] <ikonia> tzdanof: great, can you explain the issue then
[08:47] <gogli> ikonia :  when i install ubuntu on desktop ,su -i also work fine
[08:47] <massdivide> ikonia, what is?
[08:47] <tzdanof> lrcaballero: Saiki said i need to move my partition closer to the unallocated space
[08:47] <ikonia> massdivide: sudo su
[08:47] <gogli> ikonia : it don't have ubuntu admin in it
[08:47] <tzdanof> ikonia: unable to move my partitions
[08:47] <massdivide> ikonia, does the same thing as sudo -i
[08:47] <ikonia> gogli: I've made you aware of the potential problems, it's up to you what you do
[08:48] <ikonia> massdivide: it doesn't
[08:48] <ikonia> massdivide: there are slight differences
[08:48] <ikonia> tzdanof: can you explain a little more beyond that please.
[08:48] <xCessive> ikonia: thanks, i'll try to do that
[08:48] <massdivide> ikonia, both return root@localhost. The path may be different, but the result is the same.
[08:48] <gogli> massdivide : su -i and sudo -i are different
[08:48] <ikonia> massdivide: no, root@localhost is not a way to judge if they do the same thing
[08:48] <lrcaballero> tzdanof: are u dual booting?
[08:49] <massdivide> ikonia, I don't follow you.
[08:49] <tzdanof> ikonia: im trying to increase my windows NTFS partition. i have 120 gb of unallocated space. saiki said that i needed to move it closer to unallocated space. i cant move it
[08:49] <tzdanof> lrcaballero: yeqah
[08:49] <gogli> ikonia  , massdivide : can somebody help me ?
[08:49] <ikonia> gogli: help you what /
[08:49] <josef__> Hi I hesitate between ubuntu 12.04 and linuxmint 13 cinnamon. It's the same thing for me but which of them is more complete and customizable (for you) ?
[08:49] <ikonia> tzdanof: there are limitations of moving partitions, eg: moving a primary partition into extended partition space, or viceversa, or moving a partition "after" an existing partition
[08:49] <massdivide> josef__, go with 12.04
[08:49] <lrcaballero> tzdanof: with Widows?

[08:51] <ikonia> tzdanof: you need to remove the exteneded partiton if you want to move data beyond it
[08:51] <ikonia> tzdanof: you may still have a few issues, but that is the bulk of your problem
[08:52] <massdivide> ikonia, If you don't think so, why do you bother using linux in the first place?
[08:52] <josef__> massdivide : what are the positives that mint13 doesn't have ?
[08:52] <V3NG3NC3> Can someone explain something to me?
[08:52] <ikonia> massdivide: I just agreed with you
[08:52] <tzdanof> ikonia: extended is my SWAP isnt it?
[08:52] <ikonia> tzdanof: it looks that way yes
[08:52] <tzdanof> ikonia: is that able to be removed?
[08:52] <ikonia> tzdanof: if you're not using it sure, you can also re-create it afterwards
[08:53] <tzdanof> ikonia: okay. so i'll attempt. lets hope no system failures
[08:53] <gogli> ikonia : i'm on fire >:-)
[08:53] <massdivide> josef__, it what it does have that makes it the problem. Gnome 3 is garbage. Unity while it has its faults, its far superior. personally I dropped them both and just use cairo-dock. but ubuntu has better support and can auto-update.
[08:53] <wadi> selamat sore
[08:53] <ikonia> josef__: unity is gnome 3,
[08:53] <tzdanof> ikonia: can i recreate swap as a not extended?
[08:53] <ikonia> tzdanof: sure sure,
[08:53] <ikonia> tzdanof: you may want to do that after you've resized/moved your partitions though
[08:54] <ikonia> tzdanof: keep in mind you can only have 4 primary partitions
[08:54] <gogli> ikonia : gnome 3 and unity are different
[08:54] <ikonia> gogli: unity is a shell built ontop of gnome 3
[08:54] <tzdanof> ikonia: wont let me delete it O.o
[08:54] <tzdanof> ikonia: from live CD
[08:54] <massdivide> gogli, cntrl + alt + F1 , login as root, ps -u ubuntu, find gnome-session, and kill -9 the PID.
[08:54] <gogli> gnome 3 and unity are different shell
[08:54] <josef__> oh ...
[08:54] <ikonia> tzdanof: possibly because it's in use
[08:54] <ikonia> gogli: gnome-shell and unity are different shell, gnome 3 are the libraries unity use to run
[08:54] <tzdanof> ikonia: is there a way to check?
[08:54] <ikonia> tzdanof: swapon -s
[08:55] <tzdanof> ikonia: i turned swapoff
[08:55] <ikonia> tzdanof: does swapon -s show it
[08:55] <tzdanof> no
[08:55] <tzdanof> ikonia: no, just categories
[08:55] <gogli> !unity
[08:55] <gogli> !gnome3
[08:55] <ikonia> tzdanof: that's odd, what's the error when you try to delete it (you're deleting the swap partition, not the extended one right ?)
[08:56] <massdivide> !cairo-dock
[08:56] <gogli> haha ! see ikonia
[08:56] <massdivide> :)
[08:56] <ikonia> gogli: you're just proved what I said correct
[08:56] <gogli> hey ! massdivide : thanks bro
[08:56] <Saiki> hm.. what's the start for a shell script that is using apt-get commands?
[08:56] <ikonia> #!bin/bash ?
[08:56] <tzdanof> ikonia: http://i.imgur.com/iyf6a.png
[08:57] <tzdanof> ikonia: im simply unable to do anything to it
[08:57] <gogli> ikonia : ok ! hey ! Saiki ,,, can you correct us
[08:57] <ikonia> tzdanof: remove /dev/sda5 first, the linux swap partition
[08:57] <massdivide> ikonia, lets get some coffee, my treat. lol
[08:57] <ikonia> massdivide: what ?
[08:57] <Saiki> gogli: What's up?
[08:57] <massdivide> ikonia,  wanna go out for coffee? :P
[08:57] <gogli> wao ! massdivide purposing admin
[08:57] <tzdanof> ikonia: removed. now i can increase NTFS?
[08:57] <ikonia> massdivide: what are you talking about, this is an irc channel, please try to keep to realistic conversation, on the ubuntu support topic
[08:57] <gogli> : )
[08:58] <Saiki> ikonia: thanks, not used to making scripts
[08:58] <ikonia> tzdanof: you'll need to get the NTFS partition next to the free space
[08:58] <ikonia> tzdanof: I think you'll struggle, but with effort it should be possible
[08:58] <tzdanof> ikonia: how can i move it O.o
[08:58] <ikonia> tzdanof: how I've just said
[08:59] <tzdanof> ikonia: i deleted extended
[08:59] <Saiki> tzdanof: at te FAR RIGHT pation, you see "space after"?
[08:59] <massdivide> ikonia, bah. No sense of humor. Your like a robot. You need to get out of this text enviroment. 5 cups of ubuntu. Sound fimilar?
[08:59] <ikonia> tzdanof: is there anything of value on your linux partition
[08:59] <tzdanof> i suppose not
[08:59] <gogli> Saiki : is unity is based upon gnome3 for survival
[08:59] <tzdanof> ikonia: just delete it huh
[08:59] <ikonia> massdivide: please stop with this pointless converation.
[08:59] <ikonia> gogli: unity is a shell that runs o the gnome 3 libraries
[08:59] <Saiki> gogli: I use server. I don't have gnome lol
[08:59] <ikonia> tzdanof: it maybe easier for you, remove the ubuntu partition, resize your windows one, re-install ubuntu
[08:59] <chu> massdivide: This is strictly a support channel. If you want to talk pointless conversations, join us in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:00] <ikonia> tzdanof: depends on how much effort you want to put in
[09:00] <tzdanof> ikonia: will the boot auto recognize that windows is left
[09:00] <massdivide> chu,  no conversation is pointless. -Mark Twain
[09:00] <ikonia> tzdanof: yes it will, but if your in any doubt, use the windows install CD to put the windows boot loader back
[09:00] <gogli> massdivide : heads off
[09:00] <ikonia> tzdanof: if you remove your ubuntu partition grub will probably fail to boot
[09:01] <Saiki> ikonia: grubwill fail to boot. guranteed
[09:01] <ikonia> Saiki: yes, that's what I said
[09:01] <tzdanof> ikonia: k thanks. i coulda saved a lot of time if i just woulda deleted it first.
[09:01] <ikonia> tzdanof: however if you are just going to use the livecd to re-size your partitions
[09:01] <Saiki> !grub
[09:01] <ikonia> tzdanof: you don't care that grub will fail,
[09:01] <ikonia> Saiki: why are you pasting that ? what has that got to do with any of the discussion ?
[09:02] <gogli> can i install window 7 after installing ubuntu ?
[09:02] <ikonia> tzdanof: delete the ubuntu partition, resize your ntfs partition, (use the windows CD to do an chkdisk before installing ubuntu if you want to be sure) then re-isntall ubuntu
[09:02] <Saiki> ikonia: MBR can be restored without using the windows cd. I just didn't have the link
[09:02] <ikonia> gogli: yes, you can, you'll need to re-install grub though
[09:02] <ikonia> Saiki: he doesn't need to restore the windows MBR
[09:02] <gogli> !mbr
[09:02] <ikonia> Saiki: and look at the level of experience of the user you are suggesting that to
[09:03] <daethorian> Hi. I'm on 10.04 LTS and I need to install Python 2.6.8 to get some fixes an application I run needs. What would be the best way to install 2.6.8? Can I use apt/dpkg or do I need to resort to manual compilation of the sources?
[09:03] <ikonia> daethorian: if there is a python 2.6 package, you should use that
[09:03] <Saiki> ikonia: I used it when I was a noob on this subject
[09:04] <gogli> Saiki , ikonia : don't fight .
[09:04] <ikonia> Saiki: great, then you can walk him through it, should he need it
[09:04] <ikonia> gogli: no-one is fighting
[09:04] <daethorian> ikonia: Yeah, but the one in the repos is on 2.6.5. I need 2.6.8.
[09:04] <ikonia> daethorian: you're going to struggle to get 2.6.8 specifically then from an ubuntu package sadly
[09:04] <Saiki> ikonia: I would have no problem doing that, but I need to find that cd link lol
[09:05] <Noriandir> hi. i have a local ftp server created with vsftpd. i can access it localy (through localhost or my local ip) but not with my external ip =/ anyone knows how to solve this?
[09:05] <gogli> massdivide :  where are you bro  ?
[09:05] <croz> Can someone help me install guest additions for virtualbox? When I'm trying to install windows 7 it's in24 bit mode instead of 32 bit.
[09:05] <Saiki> Noriandir: are you sure you didn't lock the address to 127.0.0.1?
[09:05] <daethorian> ikonia: Alright. I thought about adding wheezy sources to sources.list, do an update and then remove the sources, but I feel like that might break the entire system. Would that be feasible or should I just manually compile?
[09:06] <Noriandir> Saiki: how could i've done that?
[09:06] <gogli> ikonia : how to change lo[loop back ] address ?
[09:06] <Noriandir> Saiki: (its ubuntu 10.04 btw)
[09:06] <[dlp]> Anyone know when we are likely to see PulseAudio 2 in the Ubuntu distribution?
[09:06] <ikonia> gogli: you do'nt do that
[09:06] <[dlp]> AS it has some bug fixes that look interesting.
[09:06] <ikonia> gogli: the loop back address is important to stay the same
[09:06] <Saiki> Noriandir: look for a config file in /etc
[09:06] <ikonia> daethorian: that would be a very bad idea
[09:07] <[dlp]> (I have bugs)
[09:07] <daethorian> ikonia: I thought so. I'll compile. Thanks for your swift help!
[09:07] <gogli> ikonia  : thats why i like massdivide . I need destruction
[09:07] <Noriandir> Saiki: related to who? vsftpd?
[09:07] <Saiki> Noriandir: yes
[09:07] <gogli> massdivide: where are you ?
[09:07] <ikonia> gogli: then find a different channel,
[09:07] <ikonia> gogli: he's not in this channel any more
[09:08] <gogli> ikonia : can you tell me where he is now ?
[09:08] <ikonia> gogli: no, he's not on freenode any more
[09:08] <Saiki> gogli you knwo you can use /whois <name> to find them, right?
[09:08] <xCessive> ikonia: i can login to my ubuntu machine with AD users, i dd the auth via kerberos
[09:09] <ikonia> xCessive: that's great
[09:09] <gogli> Saiki : O !
[09:09] <Saiki> ikonia: that cd link vanished from the ubuntu docs :(
[09:09] <croz> Can someone help me install guest additions for virtualbox? When I'm trying to install windows 7 it's in24 bit mode instead of 32 bit.
[09:09] <ikonia> croz: 64bit ?
[09:09] <xCessive> ikonia: i can login to my ubuntu machine with AD users, i did the auth via kerberos and winbind in nsswitch but im not sure how to add the groups to sudoers file properly
[09:09] <Saiki> croz: we heard you the first time..
[09:10] <croz> :\
[09:11] <gogli> Saiki , ikonia : Thanks for the help .Can you tell me the time massdivide , when he is ON on freenode ?
[09:11] <Dr_willis> gogli,  check out memoserv bot. it can send him a message when they connect
[09:12] <Dr_willis> see     /msg memoserv help
[09:12] <Noriandir> Saiki: here's the conf file: http://pastebin.com/Tr7nX3hw
[09:12] <Noriandir> Saiki: but i haven't seen anything that would restrict the acess only to my network
[09:12] <ikonia> xCessive: sudo has a seperate pam rul (I think) that's the one you've got to find
[09:12] <ikonia> "rule" sorry
[09:12] <ikonia> croz: do you mean 64bit ?
[09:13] <sixofour> Is there any way to install ubuntu 12 on a pc containing the iso on the hardrive? or must I burn it to something? Also, I have a 1tb drive with win7, I want to make it a dual boot without erasing anything currently on the drive, will splitting the drive work?
[09:13] <ikonia> sixofour: partitioning the drive to offer some free space is fine
[09:14] <sixofour> what size would you recommend for the ubuntu partition and swap? i have 6gb of ram
[09:14] <croz> ikonia i mean 32bit for display
[09:14] <Saiki> Noriandir: how are you tying to connect? (mask the ip if you wish)
[09:14] <croz> right now it's 24bit
[09:14] <sixofour> the "data" partition will be the win7 stuff
[09:14] <ikonia> sixofour: it really depends on your usage, there are many theories and opinions on this
[09:14] <croz> and i googled and it says i need to install guest additions
[09:14] <Cottus> sixofour, min 4Gb
[09:14] <ikonia> croz: ahhh I see
[09:14] <croz> im trying to but i cant mount the cd in terminal i dont know how these people are doing it
[09:15] <croz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeEHqbFNaqw
[09:15] <sixofour> well, its a gaming pc really, i7, ati radeon 6 something HD, 6gb ram
[09:15] <ikonia> sixofour: you have lots of hard disk space, so I would suggest using ram + 2GB, which will allow you to suspend + buffer
[09:15] <Saiki> croz mount /dev/cdrom /mount/point
[09:15] <sixofour> though all i really play is minecraft and a few other indie games
[09:15] <gogli> sixofour: 2 gb for swap[virtual memory ] + 5 gb for better storage =7
[09:16] <lrcaballero> good night everyone!
[09:16] <sixofour> why not 8gb swap jsut so its a nice number? :P
[09:16] <gogli> lrcaballero  : good night
[09:16] <croz> nando@Samsung /media/84DEB33DDEB325F8 $ sudo mount/dev/cdrom /mount/point
[09:16] <croz> sudo: mount/dev/cdrom: command not found
[09:16] <Saiki> lrcaballero: sleep well
[09:16] <gogli> sixofour : as you wish
[09:16] <sixofour> the ubuntu partition needs to be a bit i think, 20gb sound good enough? this is jsut for ubuntu system stuff
[09:16] <Saiki> croz: space after mount
[09:16] <Cottus> sixofour, max 1Gb swap,
[09:17] <sixofour> 1gb swamp partition?
[09:17] <Cottus> sixofour, with this much ram, it's not needed
[09:17] <croz> i did
[09:17] <croz> i dont know why it says that
[09:17] <gogli> sixofour :20gb is good space
[09:17] <sixofour> hmm
[09:17] <croz> oops one second
[09:17] <ikonia> sixofour: I've given you my view of how you should use your swap
[09:17] <Saiki> Croz: no you didn't
[09:17] <gaelfx> ok, I have a usb wireless adapter that has flash on it, so the device id in lsusb changes when I eject the flash disk, should I be trying to figure out how to get the adapter to work using the id from when the flash is mounted or from when it's ejected?
[09:17] <Noriandir> Saiki: i', trying with google chrome putting ftp://externalip
[09:17] <croz> nando@Samsung /media/84DEB33DDEB325F8 $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mount/point
[09:17] <croz> mount: mount point /mount/point does not exist
[09:17] <ikonia> sixofour: you are not shy of disk, so using ram (allowing you to suspend) +2 for an overhead seems sensible to me
[09:17] <wdp> sixofour: /dev/sda5      ext4       38G     22G   14G   63% /
[09:17] <Noriandir> Saiki: tried also with: ftp myexternalip
[09:18] <Saiki> Noriandir: using linux?
[09:18] <Dr_willis> croz,  so make the mount point directory.
[09:18] <Dr_willis> croz,  that was an example path/name.. use what you want. it MUST exist.
[09:18] <Noriandir> Saiki: i recieve a timed out error
[09:18] <sixofour> anyways, about my first question, can ubuntu be installed from the hardrive, or do i need to make a boot disk? win7 is being retarded and doesn't seem to know how to make a boot disk
[09:18] <Noriandir> Saiki: yes, ubuntu 10.04
[09:18] <Saiki> Noriandir: try externalip:20
[09:18] <ikonia> sixofour: make a CD, or boot usb device, it's the most straightforward approach
[09:19] <sixofour> can you boot from an sd card?
[09:19] <gogli> ikonia : i agree with you
[09:19] <ikonia> sixofour: if your bios supports it, sure
[09:19] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  i have some pcs that can boot and install from an SD card.
[09:19] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  i have some that cant.
[09:19] <croz> nando@Samsung ~ $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /home/nando/additions/
[09:19] <croz> mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[09:19] <Noriandir> Saiki: page it not available
[09:19] <sixofour> hmm,l i will be back in 10 minutes or so when I am ready
[09:19] <Dr_willis> croz,  so what type of disk is in the optical drive?
[09:20] <croz> none
[09:20] <gogli> Hey ! what is IDE Drive ?
[09:20] <croz> im gonna use iso to install the os
[09:20] <Saiki> Croz: odd..
[09:20] <Dr_willis> gogli,  the older standard from about 4-5 years ago.
[09:20] <Saiki> croz: oh wait.. that was an iso?
[09:21] <Dr_willis> croz,  i think you need to clarify what you are doing exactly to the channel
[09:21] <gogli> Dr_willis : i'm a student , sholud i need to use selinux ?
[09:21] <Saiki> Noriandir: check your pm
[09:21] <Dr_willis> gogli,  i doubt it.
[09:21] <Noriandir> Saiki: pm?
[09:21] <croz> I'm using a Windows 7 iso to install windows 7. When I boot up the virtual machine it looks horrible and says that it is in 24 bit mode and to enable 32 bit mode. There is no option to enable 32 bit mode. A little googling shows that I have to install Guest additions. I go to devices and click install guest additions but nothing happens.
[09:21] <Saiki> Noriandir: I sent you a pm
[09:22] <Dr_willis> gogli,  if you are a student research it.. check its homepage. learn about it.. then decide. :) thats what students do..learn.
[09:22] <powwwrtoc> Hi all, I'm running ubuntu 12.04... do I need to worry about the leap second bug on my servers?  How would I know if they're being affected?
[09:22] <ikonia> powwwrtoc: should be fine
[09:22] <tzdanof> Saiki: grub failure
[09:22] <Dr_willis> croz,  the guest addations you use a MENU in the vbox interface to have it 'download and put the vbox guest' iso in the virtual cd for the vmachine.
[09:22] <gaelfx> I really need help here, I can't get my wireless usb adapter to function at all :(
[09:22] <tzdanof> ikonia: grub failed
[09:23] <powwwrtoc> ikonia: I can't see anywhere that says the kernel was patched
[09:23] <ikonia> tzdanof: as I warned you it would
[09:23] <Dr_willis> croz,  you may want to check out the vbox docs/manual.  the virtual windows os. sees the  guest addations in its drive.
[09:23] <croz> Dr_willis: I click devices and I select install guest additions and nothing happens
[09:23] <tzdanof> ikonia: can you send me that link again?
[09:23] <Saiki> tzdanof: yes, you deleted the partion with grub on it. can you burn CDs?
[09:23] <croz> oh so i have to install the OS first?
[09:23] <tzdanof> Saiki: nope
[09:23] <ikonia> tzdanof: you don't need a link, resize your partition using the livecd and then re-install ubuntu
[09:23] <Dr_willis> croz, err.. yes.. the guest addons are drivers for the guest os.
[09:23] <tzdanof> Saiki: i have a live CD though
[09:23] <gogli> Dr_willis : ok!  is there any link between dhclient and proxy server  ?
[09:23] <croz> oh ok sorry
[09:23] <croz> let me do that first then
[09:24] <ikonia> powwwrtoc: I believe the most recent update should resolve the small risk
[09:24] <croz> Dr_willis: you are always awesome! :)
[09:24] <Dr_willis> gogli,  not really noticed any. i rarely yse proxys
[09:24] <tzdanof> ikonia: i cant boot onto windows partition?
[09:24] <Saiki> tzdanof: what windows version are you using?
[09:24] <tzdanof> Saiki: vista
[09:24] <ikonia> powwwrtoc: plus it will also be covered if your ntp source is up to date
[09:24] <ikonia> tzdanof: you don't need to
[09:24] <Dr_willis> croz,  last i checked the vbox manual at its homepage was very very handy. and had some info that you can easially overlook.
[09:24] <tzdanof> ikonia: cant i disable or delete grub from booting?
[09:24] <ikonia> tzdanof: you need to boot your livecd, resize the partition, re-install ubuntu
[09:24] <ikonia> tzdanof: ok, I'm going to stop talking now, as you are not listening to what I'm saying
[09:25] <Saiki> tzdanof: first off.. EW.. (now that that's out of my system...) 2nd, you should be able to laugh a startup repair with the vista dvd
[09:25] <powwwrtoc> ikonia: how can I check?  Are the symptoms just high load? My servers seem to be ok, but then they're usually not doing much
[09:25] <ikonia> powwwrtoc: the symptoms are your clock will just not sync
[09:27] <powwwrtoc> ikonia: ok thanks
[09:29] <gogli> ikonia : /etc/mail   ?   what is this mail used for ? is this for web-mail or what ?
[09:29] <ikonia> gogli: no,
[09:29] <ikonia> gogli: it's used as a configuration directory for your MTA
[09:31] <gogli> ikonia : can you describe it  briefly ? i s these used by my mail client ?
[09:31] <ikonia> no
[09:33] <gogli> suppose i have a friend on network , i want t o send him message , is this mail used for ?
[09:33] <fizyplankton> how can i check screen resolution from cli? i used to know the command that would output about 10-20 lines of text about monitor statistics. but i forgot it. my comp is old, and gnome monitor tool causes catastrophic system failures. does anyone know the command?
[09:33] <ikonia> gogli: no
[09:33] <ikonia> hubx: it's used for your MTA, as I've told you
[09:33] <ikonia> hubx: sorry, that was for gogli
[09:33] <ikonia> gogli: it's used for your MTA, as I've told you
[09:34] <Dr_willis> fizyplankton,  xrandr perhaps.
[09:34] <fizyplankton> Dr_willis: just "xrandr"? no args?
[09:34] <Dr_willis> fizyplankton,  try it and see.
[09:34] <Dr_willis> im not on a linux box at the momemt
[09:34] <Dr_willis> !xrandr
[09:34] <gogli> O god !Can somebody told me what is MTA ?
[09:34] <gogli> !mts
[09:34] <Dr_willis> Mail Transfer Agent.
[09:34] <fidel> gogli: yep - wiki can. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_transfer_agent
[09:34] <ikonia> gogli: I suggest doing research, this channel is for ubuntu support, not "please tell me about computers and software"
[09:34] <fidel> dont be lazy ;)
[09:34] <Dr_willis> Somthing you dont need apranetly :)
[09:35] <gogli> so , why ikonia is saying me ,  /etc/mail is not used by web mail
[09:35] <Dr_willis> gogli,  its not used by your USER if using any webmail service like gmail.
[09:35] <ikonia> gogli: I said that the first time you asked
[09:35] <fidel> well you are a quick-reader heh? ;)
[09:35] <fizyplankton> Dr_willis: dont give me that ubottu crap. im checkling the res on my 9 yr old single display laptop. my desktop is triple displays, and i had to ditch xrandr for xcinerama (*sob*). xrandrs dual display technology is seriously lacking
[09:35] <Dr_willis> gogli,  its used by your mail SERVER running on your machine.
[09:36] <Dr_willis> fizyplankton,  whatever.. last i checked xrandr printed out info about the monitors..
[09:36] <Dr_willis> fizyplankton,  i use nvidia twinview here most of the time.
[09:36] <fizyplankton> xrandr says Can't open display
[09:36] <gogli> Dr_willis : no, i get it
[09:36] <Dr_willis> sounds like its running as a differnt user then. or needs the DISPLAY variable set. could be it needs X running also.
[09:36] <gogli> Sorry   Dr_willis  : now i get it
[09:37] <croz> Any idea why every so often Firefox causes my computer to freeze? I have to ps aux |grep firefox and kill the firefox process. Well, it doesn't really freeze but I can't click around anymore and the mouse symbol stays as the hand gesture thing.
[09:37] <fizyplankton> Dr_willis: i know what it is. turns out xrandr cannot be used from ssh or from "screen". shame on me for trying it with both
[09:37] <Dr_willis> fizyplankton,  if you set DISPLAY to localhost:1  it might work.
[09:38] <imadper> 阿弥陀佛
[09:38] <Dr_willis> I imagine xrandr needs/wants to be ran by the user who launched the X desktop, and from within X.
[09:39] <fizyplankton> Dr_willis: i got it to work. i just had to detach from screen and march my but over to the comp itself, rather than ssh. but yeah, my desktop is triple monitors, and it becomes 4 when i use synergy to tack on m y laptop. 5.5 million pixels on a wall of monitors 6 feet long. SO worth the 14 hours it took to write that damn xorg.conf file
[09:40]  * Dr_willis is just using a 40 Inch TV as a monitor...
[09:41] <Dr_willis> i havent even bothered to attatch the 2nd monitor in ages.
[09:41]  * fizyplankton uses a virtual 60 inch across monitor. its more than 60 diagonally.
[09:41]  * fizyplankton cant do math, and meant 72 inch
[09:43] <Saiki> how do you install lampp?
[09:43] <Dr_willis> !lamp
[09:51] <bent-stack> Dr_willis "4o inch TV monitor" = does it look low res? was thinking of getting one myself..
[09:52] <Dr_willis> bent-stack,  when you are sitting 2 ft in front of it.. its not idea for 'work' but i use it for games mainly.
[09:52] <blackshirt> .t
[09:52] <Dr_willis> bent-stack,  and  i had to work with the monitor settings under linux and windows and on the tv. to get the overscan stuff disabled. or i lost part of the display off the edges.
[09:53] <Dr_willis> AND the tv has so many fancy 'movie viewing' features. its constantly diming/changeing colors when it shouldent (when using  a desktop/work) that its annoying. But for movies/games - its great.
[09:53] <gaelfx> is compat-wireless installed by default in 12.04, or do you have to install it manually?
[09:54] <bent-stack> Ok - I looked into pulling apart some 22inch LCD's to make a micro bezel between them
[09:54] <Dr_willis> bent-stack,  so over all.. for doing 'work' - a decent computer monitor would be best. I have seen newer monitors with very very small bezels.  and higher res then the tvs.
[09:54] <bent-stack> Ok thanks for the advice
[09:55] <Dr_willis> I was looking at Monitors when i bought this. Just couldent find any larger monitors at the time. and the tv was on sale. :)  Its great as a tv.  great for games and movies. Lacking for just sitting here and doing IRC/Word Processing.
[09:55] <Dr_willis> but I Can irc from across the room now. ;)
[09:56] <bent-stack> ;)
[09:56] <Dr_willis> and for all TV's as a monitor - ive had to 'twiddle' with the Overscan settings.
[09:56] <Dr_willis> but i can IRC and have the TV in the 'picture' in a Picture at the top right. :)
[09:59] <manisabri> I have a cosmetic question, terminal Icon in  launcher became the spring board icon. any way I can fix that?
[10:00] <gaelfx> lol, cosmetic question
[10:00] <gaelfx> I gotta remember that one
[10:01] <Madkiss> hi there. With dkms, how do I create a .deb file containing a kernel module for the specific version I use on the system?
[10:01] <manisabri> glad to help the technical slang  ; ) but what about the icon mate?
[10:04] <bent-stack> manisabri: Did yo try to right click on the app, select the properties , click on the ico
[10:04] <Dr_willis> could be the theme you are using is messed up also.
[10:04] <Dr_willis> may want ty try  a differnt icon theme. and perhaps set it back
[10:06] <manisabri> where do the launcher icons come from for applications?
[10:06] <Dr_willis> they are defined by the apps .desktop files and come from the various themes which use a standarized set of names
[10:06] <Dr_willis> for example try 'locate gedit.desktop'  and check out the contents of the file
[10:07] <Dr_willis> should be an icon line in the file.
[10:07] <azi`> hello. anyone happens to know how to solve this issue? g
[10:07] <AdvoWork> how come if i run wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/program files/adobe/whatever.exe in the terminal, it works fine, but if i make a launcher as an application it won't. If i do a launcher but use terminal it works again but then has a spare terminal which I dont need?
[10:07] <azi`> hello. anyone happens to know how to solve this issue? http://pastebin.com/50B87JCD
[10:07] <Dr_willis> i think its 'gedit.png' for the icon. If you do a 'locate gedit.png' each theme should have its own gedit.png file.
[10:07] <azi`> i would like japanese support in ubuntu
[10:08] <Dr_willis> AdvoWork,  tryed making a script that just cd's to that dir. then runs wine whatever.exe   then make a launcher that runs that script in the background
[10:08] <gaelfx> azi`: have you tried adding it through the system settings?
[10:09] <snikker> i want update a kernel on oneiric live cd, i've read the info in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, but when i type "apt-get install linux-image", i've got a grub error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[10:09] <Dr_willis> could also be wine is printing out some info to stderr or stdout and with no terminal its cant do it. (i rarely use wine, so cant be sure if thats the case)
[10:09] <snikker> someome can help me?
[10:10] <Dr_willis> snikker,  you are running that command from a live cd you booted?
[10:10] <manisabri> Dr_willis: great , good starting point . just need to find out what are these .desktop files then
[10:10] <gaelfx> snikker: you can't do that because the Live environment can't be rebooted with those kinds of changes
[10:10] <azi`> gaelfx: yes! it is not listed there
[10:10] <gaelfx> snikker: you could try installing to a USB
[10:10] <Dr_willis> manisabri,  i belive the standard for them came from the freedesktop.org specs.
[10:11] <gaelfx> azi`: it's listed in mine...are you sure you're looking in the right place?
[10:11] <Dr_willis> manisabri,  they are used by a lot of parts of the system. Menu definitions,  X sessions, and so forth.
[10:11] <azi`> gaelfx: yes. on xfce though
[10:11] <azi`> gaelfx: i have two laptops both on xfce one lists japanese the other only english
[10:11] <manisabri> Dr_willis, Do they define the Icon used in Unity Launcher too?
[10:11] <foobArrr> Is there an easy way to paste unicode symbols?
[10:11] <azi`> gaelfx: http://azi.dev.si/a.png
[10:11] <snikker> Dr_willis, gaelfx: i'm on chroot of live cd, i want rebuild this live cd with updated kernel
[10:13] <Dr_willis> snikker,  you dont rebuild a cd from the cd as far as i know. you need to have an installed system then you rebuild the live cd
[10:13] <gaelfx> azi`: yeah, that doesn't really help since it's just a list of installed languages, how did you get to that window?
[10:13] <gaelfx> snikker: what Dr_willis said
[10:13] <Dr_willis> manisabri,  theres icon info in them.
[10:14] <azi`> gaelfx: settings->language support->install/remove languages
[10:14] <DecWeng> Hi, I just now try the permission of folders and files and cause unable to login as root user. What can I do?
[10:14] <gaelfx> azi`: try running sudo apt-get update
[10:14] <Dr_willis> DecWeng,  how are you trying to 'login as root user' ?
[10:14] <jalal> how to change ubuntu 12.04 panel to down
[10:15] <azi`> gaelfx: did that and nothing happened
[10:15] <azi`> gaelfx: also tried dist-upate
[10:15] <azi`> gaelfx: also tried dist-update*
[10:15] <DecWeng> the first user
[10:15] <jalal> panel is in left side i want it to get down
[10:15] <jalal> how to do that
[10:15] <azi`> gaelfx: i think i might messed up the repositories.. is there a way to fix this?
[10:15] <gaelfx> azi`: well, reinstall tends to solve those kinds of problems
[10:15] <Dr_willis> jalal,  theres unofficial and unsupported and buggy hacks out there to put the pannel at the BOTTOM of the screen. check webupd8 and omgubuntu blog sites they mentioned it ages ago..
[10:15] <jalal> plzzz somebody help me
[10:16] <azi`> gaelfx: the repositories are in sources.list right?
[10:16] <Dr_willis> jalal,  they may not be useable any more. Or just use some dock for a bottom panel/bar/launcher
[10:16] <snikker> Dr_willis: yes,i've mounted squasfs of cd on my system and i've chrooted into it.
[10:16] <jalal>  i want gnome-panel like in ubuntu 10.04
[10:16] <Dr_willis> jalal,  you mean you want the classic-gnome look.
[10:16] <jalal> which give me application places etc options
[10:16] <jalal> yess
[10:16] <gaelfx> azi`: yeah, but that's probably not the best way to change them. there should be an app or someting called software sources, or else you have to open software center and find in the file menus "software sources"
[10:17] <jalal> where all application organised
[10:17] <jalal> becoze i am custmizing ubuntu
[10:17] <Dr_willis> jalal,  i just add a extra indicator-applet to unity that gives me a similer menu layout.
[10:17] <gaelfx> jalal: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[10:17] <gaelfx>  :D
[10:17] <jalal> i have installed it
[10:17] <jalal> i install gnome-panel too
[10:17] <Dr_willis> gnome-shell has more customization options - if you want to learn it.
[10:17] <DecWeng> Dr_willis: I just normally login at first. I try files and folders permission and cause unable to login as first user now
[10:18] <Dr_willis> DecWeng,  so what files and permissions did you change?
[10:18] <jalal> and i also want to change theme via terminal
[10:18] <jalal> there anyway for adjuse theme from terminal?
[10:18] <DecWeng> Dr_willis: download  folder permission
[10:19] <Dr_willis> DecWeng,  the Download Directory permissions shouldent be keeping your user from logging in.  Try logging in at the console. see if that works for the user.
[10:19] <DecWeng> Dr_willis: can show command?
[10:20] <xxbgdu91xx> salut
[10:20] <Dr_willis> DecWeng,  go to the console (alt-ctrl-f1 through F6) (f7 to get back to X) and see if you can login
[10:20] <xxbgdu91xx> Salut
[10:20] <xxbgdu91xx> j'ai un probleme avec mon ubuntu
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[10:27] <surma> Hey guys. I'm struggling with an OpenVZ container image of 12.04. All I really need to know is: During the init process, which script (or daemon) is responsible for calling "mount -a"?
[10:27] <Processor> Hi
[10:28] <Processor> Anybody to help a poor user?
[10:28] <Dr_willis> surma,  not on a ubuntu box right now to test.. but you could cd to /etc/init and do a 'grep mount *.conf'  (or are my arguments backwards)
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> Processor  if you're sweet
[10:28] <Processor> I'm but not too much ;)
[10:28] <ikonia> Processor: you need to ask a question if you want help
[10:28] <surma> Dr_willis: /etc/init? That's new ^^ I've been grepping in /etc/init.d. Lemme see
[10:29] <Processor> I'm trying to forbiden access to usb mass storage on ubuntu 12.04
[10:29] <Dr_willis> surma,  its not new. :) its where upstart services start from.. Ubuntu been using Upstart for some time now. but it has a sysv 'emulation' sort of mode. so many people dont notice it.
[10:29] <Processor> I added usb_storage  on blacklist.conf but it did not helped
[10:29] <surma> Dr_willis: There's a mountall.conf *facepalm* I guess that's what happens when you never use upstart
[10:29] <Dr_willis> Processor,  what filesystem is the usb device? have you just trried to mount it?
[10:30] <surma> Dr_willis: Thanks a lot
[10:30] <Dr_willis> :)
[10:30] <Processor> fat
[10:30] <Processor> I tried a modprobe -r usb_storage but it did not helped too
[10:30] <Dr_willis> Processor,  why would you blacklist? Try mounting it by hand. see if any errors show up. or see if root can access it. IF its alrleady mounted
[10:30] <Dr_willis> why would you be doing this modprobe stuff befor you tried other things. ;)
[10:31] <AdvoWork> Dr_willis, how can I make it run in the background, or does background assume just a terminal script?
[10:31] <Wand3r3r> omfg
[10:31] <Dr_willis> AdvoWork,  the scrit could do 'wine whatever.exe &' perhaps. then it would return.
[10:31] <Processor> I don't want that user can put an usb drive or key get some data on a pc
[10:32] <Dr_willis> Processor,  now that we have the original question in a way we understand... ;)
[10:32] <Wand3r3r> anyone good with encryption here?
[10:32] <sixofour> Hmm, I installed Ubuntu 12 now... my first concern is, is there any way to totally get rid of this ugly unity stuff and use gnome? I got the "gnome panel" thing, but its sitll unity just slightly different. Is there any way to get the full gnome desktop environment that we had in ubuntu 10 back?
[10:32] <surma> Dr_willis: But the kernel's init parameter is still /sbin/init, isn't it?
[10:33] <heylukecarrier> sixofour, google around installing gnome shell; I'm not sure about Gnome 2 if that's what you're looking for?
[10:33] <Processor> I remove  the right to use external storage on user privilege but it did not worked too
[10:33] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/25110/disable-auto-mount-for-particular-partitions-on-usb-drives       may be similer to what you  want Processor
[10:33] <sixofour> I guess thats what I am looking for. I';ll check.
[10:33] <sixofour> This unity stuff is horrifying, its like i am on a huge ipad
[10:33] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  its  nothing like the ipad.. and unity has some very nice features.
[10:34] <compdoc> you get used to Unity after a while
[10:34] <Dr_willis> Gnome-shell is equally 'weird/new/differnt'
[10:34] <sixofour> Idk, its seems extremely limited.
[10:34] <yeats> !nounity | sixofour
[10:34] <Dr_willis> and how long have you actually used unity?
[10:34] <sixofour> For example, you can't even resize the desktop background.
[10:34] <ssrvm> Dr_willis, yes like e.g. heating/eating/hanging your intel inbuilt graphics card
[10:34] <Dr_willis> I recall all the 'gnome 2 is limited' rants over the years also.
[10:34] <Processor> I'll check
[10:34] <Processor> thx
[10:35] <Dr_willis> Unity works well on my low end netbooks.
[10:35] <heylukecarrier> sixofour, personally neither Unity nor Gnome 2 do it for me any more... I think you ought to give Gnome 3/shell a shot before trying 2
[10:35] <sixofour> And the lack of scrolls bars is jsut...wat
[10:35] <heylukecarrier> Dr_willis, Unity was lovely on a Netbook, it just doesn't (imho) scale well to desktops
[10:35] <Dr_willis> scroll bars are hidden by default for a cleaner look. and thats easially disabled.
[10:35] <bindi> Is there any window manager that works like windows (sorry for using this curse word here :D) 7's one? I want small icons, no labels, and same icons/apps stack
[10:35] <sixofour> ^
[10:35] <sixofour> that
[10:35] <Dr_willis> bindi,  lubuntu, xubuntu, or try some stand alone window managers like icewm or others.
[10:36] <sixofour> IS KDE still around?
[10:36] <yeats> sixofour: yes
[10:36] <bindi> hmm
[10:36] <bindi> I'll check it out then, thank you
[10:36] <Dr_willis> kde4  is still here.
[10:36] <sixofour> Last tikme I used ubuntu was ubuntu 10, it was new then.
[10:36]  * yeats was going to suggest KDE
[10:36] <Dr_willis> and is even weirder then unity in ways. :)
[10:36] <ssrvm> sixofour, yes and its great* ............ *depends on your choice!
[10:36] <Dr_willis> Old skool desktops = Lubuntu/lxde or xubuntu/xfce
[10:36] <sixofour> Though, I didn't like the Dolphin file manager
[10:37] <ssrvm> Dr_willis, yes kde is too much weird. in todays world it allows easy simple navigation. good looking desktop. animations. etc not like unity.
[10:37] <sixofour> i'll google lubuntu or xubuntu
[10:37] <Dr_willis>  You could always roll your own desktop. :) pick a wm, pick a file manager, add on stuff you want.
[10:37] <yeats> yeah - there was just as much furor about kde4 as there is currently about unity/gnome3
[10:37] <sixofour> I'm not that pro of a linux user :P
[10:37] <Dr_willis> i find kde even more confuseing then unity.
[10:37] <Dr_willis> gadgets and gizmos and other stuff that seems to do nothing by default.
[10:38] <Dr_willis> I have heard that KDE tablet. has a nice setup however.
[10:38] <sixofour> Well, i'll look around, see if I can find a way of getting rid of this Fisher-Price desktop environment.
[10:38] <yeats> sixofour: you might also investigate MATE or Cinnamon
[10:39] <surma> Okay, I think I have figured out the problem: In the openVZ container, no services are started with upstart. What is the command to make the system initialize itself?
[10:39] <ssrvm> sixofour, yep try cinnamon. but it does not have official ubuntu packages. and not official included in repo. but otherwise it works very good.
[10:39] <sixofour> atleast this gnome panel has a taksbar, thats a +
[10:39] <Dr_willis> surma,  thats weird.. upstart is like the core of the  system for starting up.
[10:39] <Mlysian> Dr_willis: Hi, I thought I had changed the permission of my home folder
[10:39] <Dr_willis> the  idea of a taskbar is getting outdated. :)
[10:40] <Dr_willis> now its launcher+taskbar combos
[10:40] <sixofour> meh
[10:40] <yeats> sixofour: I would install gnome-shell and gnome-tweak and go to extensions.gnome.org to tailor it the way you want
[10:40] <sixofour> I am sure there will always be old school people like me who want a desktop, not this unity/metro style stuff. Its a pc not a phone.
[10:40] <Dr_willis> you can easially add a dock or add a taskbar in other ways
[10:41] <dubac0> #scotlug
[10:41] <surma> Dr_willis: I know, but I guess my host system is too old to know about it. So I figure it passes an wrong init kernelparameter or something. That's why I wanna know what command initializes the system
[10:41] <sixofour> yeah gonna look gnome-shell up in apt-get or something [if there still is an apt-get]
[10:41] <Mlysian> Dr_willis: Hi, I am just now that guy who can not login as root user
[10:41] <yeats> sixofour: heh - yeah - APT's not going anywhere
[10:41] <ssrvm> Mlysian, you want to reset root password?
[10:42] <Mlysian> Dr_willis: I had unintentionally change the permission of home folder
[10:42] <Dr_willis> Mlysian,  if you messed up the permissions of your home directory or /home/user directory. you may need to use recovery/rescue mode or a live cd to fix it.
[10:42] <Dr_willis> Im not even sure HOW you unintentally change permissions on home. :)
[10:42] <sixofour> Asudo apt-get install gnome-shell.. easy as that, not flipping through apps
[10:42] <sixofour> no *
[10:42] <Dr_willis> gnome-shell does not have the classic gnome menus.. :) unless you add a extension for them
[10:43] <sixofour> well i plan to go to that extension site
[10:43] <Dr_willis> that site is a nice neat new feature in the latest gnome-shell.
[10:43] <sixofour> are the other popular distros of linux going to equally desktopless styles?
[10:44] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  most are going to gnome3/gnome-shell.
[10:44] <Dr_willis> some still use kde.
[10:44] <yeats> sixofour: yes, but you might try Linux Mint, which is doing its best to ease the switch
[10:44] <ssrvm> sixofour, this is free world. not the propriatary. you can always have all the permutation combination
[10:45] <sixofour> yeah a friend of mind installed mint on anothe freinds computer, it looked nice
[10:45] <sixofour> [and it worked, as opposed to vista]
[10:45] <manisabri> If I run terminal by ctrl+alt+t its icon will be the spring board icon, iny ideas?
[10:46] <Dr_willis> manisabri,  if you run it via Hud, or the Dash it has the right icon?
[10:47] <manisabri> Dr_willis yes that way the icon is right
[10:47] <Dr_willis> id just pin the terminal to the panel :)
[10:47] <sixofour> this irc client i am using is weird too, all of the text appears in "talk bubbles"
[10:48] <sixofour> with a little man next to it
[10:48] <heylukecarrier> yeats, personally I found KDE3 awful to navigate and use... though I still prefer Gnome 3 to KDE4 it does seem like a huge step forward
[10:48] <manisabri> Dr_willis I liked the idea of not using mouse to open the terminal
[10:48] <Dr_willis> manisabri,  try guake
[10:48] <Dr_willis> !info guake
[10:49] <sixofour> what was the command for apt-get search again?
[10:49] <Cottus> apt-cache search is one..
[10:49] <Cottus> aptitude search i prefer
[10:50] <surma> Dr_willis: Is there some short, good introduction to upstart? I suspect that most services are disabled, I just don't know how you change something like that?
[10:50] <Dr_willis> !upstart
[10:51] <Dr_willis> ive never really noticed a beginners guide to upstart.  Some blog sites may have some.  never really looked for one. Never needed one.;P
[10:52] <surma> hehe, well, it needn't be for beginners. I know the principle. Just don't want to go through 200 pages of documentation ;)
[10:52] <surma> Damn OpenVZ
[10:53] <sixofour> looking somewhat much better
[10:53] <sixofour> scroll bars are still missing
[10:53] <Oli_> How do I know whether I want 32 or 64 bit?
[10:53] <heylukecarrier> Oli_, what OS are you using at the moment? Windows? Mac? Linux?
[10:54] <Dr_willis> Oli_,  if your hardware supports 64bit - go 64bits
[10:54] <gaelfx> Oli_: if you have a 64-bit processor, I would choose 64-bit, if you're not sure, 32-bit should work no matter what your processor is
[10:54] <Oli_> I'm using linux at the mo on the computer I want to install it on, it's intel atom, that's 64 bit right?
[10:54] <matthewg> mattyg
[10:55] <yeats> heylukecarrier: yeah - I got used to kde4 pretty quickly too
[10:55] <Dr_willis> some atoms are 64bit some are 32/
[10:55] <Oli_> n450 i believe it is
[10:55] <Saiki> yeats: on windows now?
[10:55] <Dr_willis> Oli_,  unless you got a lot of ram. You could just go 32bit.
[10:55] <yeats> Saiki: nope
[10:55] <Saiki> yeats: wrong person..
[10:55] <Dr_willis> Oli_,  i always go 64bit on hw that supportes it. because i do a lot of video encodeing. so even a 1% gain in speeds for encoding is worth it. ;)
[10:55] <Saiki> Oli_: on windows now?
[10:56] <gaelfx> Oli_: as a person who has used a fair number of netbooks, I strongly advise 32-bit
[10:56] <Dr_willis> netbooks are so low end. :)  it wont matter.
[10:56] <Oli_> Is 64 bit just for 3gig+ ram like on windows?
[10:56] <Dr_willis> I do run 64bit on my netbook.
[10:56] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: not all of them, some of the 12 inchers are pretty decent hw
[10:56] <heylukecarrier> Oli_, what's the output of this command? grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo
[10:57] <surma> Dr_willis: If you're interested: Turns out, the mountall.conf job fails because `mountall --daemon` yields `mountall: root filesystem isn't mounted` and that of course stops the whole init process
[10:57] <gaelfx> Oli_: not exactly, but that's the main advantage
[10:57] <Oli_> I believe i have the n450 and that is 64bit, i just checked, i'll give you the output of that command in just a second
[10:58] <sixofour> .
[10:58] <Oli_> Yeah, that command confirms it is n450
[10:58] <sixofour> Is there any way to change the admin name that is displayed in the top right?
[10:58] <Oli_> I'll get 64 bit then
[10:58] <sixofour> well, the username on the admin account*
[10:58] <heylukecarrier> Oli_, I'd recommend 64-bit then
[11:01] <gogli> Hey ! ikonia
[11:02] <gogli> ikonia : i have deleted ubuntu admin from live USB
[11:02] <ikonia> gogli: I don't really care
[11:02] <ikonia> gogli: I advised you not to do it, it's up to you if you do it or not
[11:03] <gogli> ikonia : now i'm the only admin and i get the login screen too
[11:03] <ikonia> gogli: as I said, I'm not really interested - it's up to you what you do
[11:05] <gogli> Dr_willis :  can you suggest me some good lesson on classless addressing on ubuntu
[11:05] <Dr_willis> i have no idea what the term 'classless addressing' even means
[11:05] <gaelfx> Oli: N450 is 64-bit compatible, but it's not really 64-bit proc
[11:07] <gogli> dr_willis :   its like 192.168.0.0/24 type
[11:07] <Dr_willis> theres numerous sites and guides on networking fundamentals.
[11:09] <linuxtech> Dr_willis:  You recommended some USB boot/rescue software for the manaul fsck I need to run.  What software was it?  Will it fit on a 256MB USB and will it also enable me to do a net install of mythbuntu if needed?
[11:10] <gogli> How to update cache of software packages using terminal ?
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> gogli  sudo apt-get update
[11:11] <sixofour> Dr_willis:  how do I show the scroll bars?
[11:11] <advance420> hey everyone
[11:12] <ikonia> gogli: when you apt-get update it updates the cache
[11:12] <gogli> i have run it , but when i run " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricated-extras "    it unable to find them
[11:13] <gogli> : ( , can you tell me , why ?   i have run sudo apt-get update 3 times , but it doesn't update my cache
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> gogli  first check if the package name exits, use apt-cache search to that end
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> exists*
[11:13] <glebihan> gogli, it's ubuntu-restricted-extras, not ubuntu-restric*a*ted-extras
[11:13] <burg> hello. how can i add read/write permissions to an user for a folder, if that folder is owned by another user? i know there was a way (not chmod or chown to change ownership, i want the owner to keep its permissions), but i forgot how
[11:14] <gogli> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> burg  add the user to the same group of the other user, no?
[11:16] <geirha> burg: or create a group for the purpose, set that group as group owner of the directory
[11:16] <burg> MonkeyDust, geirha, i found it, it was setfacl
[11:16] <gogli> here is my error  : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074619/
[11:17] <geirha> burg: Ah right, acls is another way to go, but requires that the filesystem as acl enabled
[11:17] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  the webupd8 blog site has a guide listing common tweaks people like to use - that include  disabling the hidd4en scrollbars
[11:17] <burg> geirha, how should i do that? it is not enough to install acl?
[11:18] <Dr_willis> tab completion - works for apt-get ubuntu-re<tab>    ;)
[11:18] <glebihan> gogli, check in your software sources whether the multiverse repositories are enabled
[11:19] <gogli> glebihan : they are not unable , i'm unable to update cache
[11:19] <glebihan> gogli, ?
[11:20] <gogli> glebihan : they are not enable , i'm unable to update cache
[11:20] <flomar> hi, I experience a suspend/resume bug on 12.04. Screesn stays black upon wakeup, only mouse visible. Have to hardreboot. I get an a brief errormessage to (PM: Device 00:0a failed to suspend: error -19). Anyone has a guess how to report this as a bug, against what package, etc...?
[11:20] <Dr_willis> 'sudo apt-get update'  works or not gogli ?
[11:20] <glebihan> gogli, you need to check the "multiverse" checkbox if the software sources application, and then run "sudo apt-get update"
[11:21] <glebihan> s/if/in
[11:21] <gogli> when i click on "use source " , it doesn't work for me
[11:21] <glebihan> use source ?
[11:21] <gogli> sudo apt-get update works but doesn't update my cache
[11:21] <gogli> :  (
[11:22] <geirha> burg: install acl, and add the acl option to the fstab entry
[11:22] <glebihan> gogli, again, you need to enable the multiverse repositories *before* you run apt-get update
[11:22] <ahhughes> I have two nix machines, what is the recommended way to mount a drive(s) between the two?
[11:22] <Dr_willis> ahhughes,  you mean share the files across the network?
[11:23] <gaelfx> ahhughes: I would suggest NFS, it works pretty well for me
[11:23] <gogli> glebihan  : multiverse is also enabled
[11:23] <Dr_willis> ssh, sshfs, nfs, ftp, samba, ... depends on your needs
[11:23] <glebihan> gogli, ok, could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[11:24] <gogli> Ubuntu Software Center -->Software Source -->enabled
[11:26] <smooth_penguin> hi, does anyone here use a ZTE MP190 HSUPA 3g dongle?
[11:26] <gogli> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074629/
[11:26] <smooth_penguin> im having trouble connecting with it
[11:27] <ahhughes> Dr_willis, yeah.. I have some samba shares... which I can mount but not sure that's the best solution
[11:27] <Dr_willis> ahhughes,  totally depends on whats on the filesystems. and how you need to access them
[11:27] <Dr_willis> ahhughes,  i just use sshfs for my needs.
[11:27] <glebihan> gogli, could you paste the whole file please (without the lines being cut at the end) ?
[11:28] <gogli> ok
[11:28] <ahhughes> Dr_willis, well... most are large media files. But I also want to be able to access these from windows
[11:28] <Dr_willis> ahhughes,  windows = you use samba then
[11:29] <Dr_willis> ahhughes,  video files - you may want to use a upnp server.
[11:29] <ahhughes> I have mediatomb
[11:29] <gogli> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074630/
[11:31] <gogli> glebihan  : should i need to paste output of "sudo apt-get update "  ?
[11:31] <glebihan> gogli, yes, go ahead
[11:32] <blackgatocatnegr> What antivirus you guys use on ubuntu? and please avoid the "No virus for linux" speech
[11:32] <AssociateX> Hello folks!
[11:33] <compdoc> I use rkhunter and clamav
[11:33] <snikker> someone can help me for rebuild a ubuntu live cd with updated kernel?
[11:33] <gogli> you have to wait for that : )   , my connection is slow
[11:33] <gogli> glebihan : )
[11:33] <AssociateX> is there something like klipper on the 12.04 Ubuntu release? I want to see my previously highlighted text entries.
[11:34] <gogli> wait for 8 minutes ...Ok !
[11:34] <blackgatocatnegr> I use avast
[11:34] <glebihan> blackgatocatnegr, that's still the answer you're likely to get, most users do not use any antivirus because there's basically no point in using one
[11:34] <blackgatocatnegr> clamavy has a high number of false positives
[11:34] <Dr_willis> !info glipper
[11:35] <Dr_willis> Its best to use more then one AV scanner. :) in any case.
[11:35] <AssociateX> thank you Dr_willis
[11:35] <blackgatocatnegr> well, so far we have over 600 malware for linux, but....
[11:35] <blackgatocatnegr> cant do much without root acess
[11:35] <compdoc> clamav has no false postitives on any of my servers
[11:35] <Dr_willis> ive had AV software say my Zipped AMIGA floppy disk image files have Viruses on them. :) not very likely a mondern virus is on a 15+ yr old floppy disk image.
[11:36] <compdoc> or incoming emails
[11:36] <blackgatocatnegr> clamav is infamous for false positives, so far I remenber a sonic fan game, (Tried it in other 3 antivirus with max heuristics and nothing) and dos games
[11:37] <blackgatocatnegr> granted, amiga files may trig some antivirals
[11:38] <blackgatocatnegr> because of weird non standar format and that
[11:38] <Dr_willis> better to have false positives... then missing somthing.
[11:39] <auronandace> Dr_willis: only if you are able to recognise them as false positives
[11:40] <coderhut> hi everyone..i am getting error in connectin when i try to connect to database server using sqlyog. my senior told me to run .opentunnel command whenever this happens in terminal. but this command is not working either
[11:41] <Dr_willis> Weirdness.. i can somehow have files on my NTFS drives  that windoes cant copy/rename/move.. but i can easially alter in Linux.  These were made by extracting a .zip archive that aparently had either some odd filenames, or very very long/deep paths..
[11:41] <blackgatocatnegr> mmm
[11:41] <blackgatocatnegr> linuc has a longer filename limit than windows
[11:41] <blackgatocatnegr> linux
[11:42] <Dr_willis> Futureama Fry: 'not sure if thats a bug or a feature'
[11:42] <Dr_willis> ;)
[11:42] <blackgatocatnegr> you are just using the wrong programs
[11:42] <Dr_willis> the window file manger wont rename, or move the files.
[11:42] <Dr_willis> shows the parent dir as having size of zero. even tho theres about a gb of files in it also.
[11:42] <blackgatocatnegr> mmmm
[11:43] <Dr_willis> going to boots to linux to see what i can do with them i guess.
[11:43] <blackgatocatnegr> say you cant delete the files on linux?
[11:43] <Dr_willis> I can delete/rename/whatever them on Linux.
[11:43] <Dr_willis> cant on Windows. even tho they are on a normal windows NTFS.
[11:43] <blackgatocatnegr> then delete them just in case
[11:43] <blackgatocatnegr> had a similar problem before, ended being virus
[11:44] <blackgatocatnegr> try 7zip it can do amazing stuff on windows
[11:44] <blackgatocatnegr> 7zip could read files windows could not
[11:44] <blackgatocatnegr> anyway, the usual in those cases?
[11:44] <blackgatocatnegr> bott with puppy, and delete junk, then run antivir and anti malware
[11:44] <Dr_willis> makes me wonder if 7zip wasent the oritinal problem. the files came from a .zip of ebooks
[11:45] <blackgatocatnegr> use 7zip to delete them
[11:45] <blackgatocatnegr> or just puppy linux
[11:45] <Dr_willis> they are ebooks i want to read. :) so i dont want to delete them
[11:46] <blackgatocatnegr> well
[11:46] <blackgatocatnegr> if some of them have  0 bit files
[11:47] <blackgatocatnegr> they are junk files at most
[11:47] <gogli> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074649/
[11:47] <blackgatocatnegr> virus, troyans at worst
[11:47] <ikonia> gogli: why are you posting that ? what do you want us to do with it ?
[11:47] <gogli> glebihan   :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074649/
[11:48] <gogli> my output for sudo apt-get update
[11:48] <blackgatocatnegr> just use synatic to remove the repos you don't want
[11:48] <blackgatocatnegr> for example, you don't really need the cd
[11:49] <Processor> Hi Dr_Willis so I read the doc you sent about disable UMS http://askubuntu.com/questions/25110/disable-auto-mount-for-particular-partitions-on-usb-drives
[11:49] <gogli> ikonia : please hand my output to glebihan     .Now i have to go in hospital for my checkup .Today i'm caught by fever .Ok ! Please
[11:50] <Processor> but it di not helped as in my case the user could use any usb key or drive
[11:50] <ikonia> gogli: he can see what you paste, he's in the same channel
[11:50] <blackgatocatnegr> gogli, synaptic and update manager
[11:50] <blackgatocatnegr> thats usually how you fix any errors in the repos
[11:51] <Dr_willis> hmm.. must been too long of names/dirs - shortened a dir name. and now they all work.
[11:51] <gogli> O ! glebihan  ,,, Hey ! bro ...Please check my output
[11:51] <blackgatocatnegr> one tip, install japanese and chinese fonts
[11:54] <Guest10901> hi - my usb wireless broadband works great when i plug it into my 10.04 ubuntu netbook,  but it doesn't register that i can use it into my 12.04 laptop. how may i get my 12.04 box to register that GSM network?
[11:54] <sixofour> So, I am thinking I will remove ubuntu all together and get Mint to use with Cinnamon, whats the easiest way of doing that?
[11:54] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  see mint channels for mint support
[11:55] <Guest10901> u can do it from the command line, belive it or not
[11:55] <gaelfx> need help with a USB wireless adapter that shows up in lsusb but is apparently not recognized by the system as a wireless adapter, can anyone help?
[11:56] <sixofour> Uninstalling Ubuntu is ubuntu support.
[11:56] <Dr_willis> sixofour,  no its not.. you just install the other os over it..
[11:56] <Dr_willis> you dont 'uninstall' it
[11:56] <sixofour> Heh, really?
[11:57] <sixofour> Well, I never have done a dual boot before.
[11:57] <sixofour> It makes sense.
[11:57] <Dr_willis> ask in #windows how to Uninstall windows...  they will look at you funny also.
[11:57] <sixofour> lol
[11:57] <sixofour> yeah brainfart there
[11:57] <sixofour> nevermind
[11:57] <sixofour> anyways thanks for the help today
[11:57] <Dr_willis> good luck with Mint - you will need luck..
[11:58] <sixofour> but the whole itnerface thing, even fiddling with gnome 3, is crippling to me
[11:58] <Dr_willis> and you have used it for all of .. what? an hr?
[11:58] <Dr_willis> we mentioned using Lubuntu, or Xubuntu, or other desktops.
[11:59] <sixofour> well, i was going to try to use cinnamon, but I don't know how I could do that without having unity like...at all
[11:59] <Dr_willis> gnome-2 is basiucally dead. I imagine these attempts to keep it alive will be gone in less then a year.
[12:00] <Dr_willis> Install the desktops you want - select them at the login screen.  no need to remove unity in most cases.
[12:00] <Dr_willis> But Cinnamon is not suppored by us here in this channel. ive heard it can break things..
[12:01] <sixofour> Well, I tried that, and even with gnome 3, the lack of functionality was still there, simple things like playing icons on the taskbar was not psosible
[12:01] <sixofour> placing*
[12:01] <sixofour> i was stuck going into that horrid "applications" menu because there was no menu listing programs
[12:02] <sixofour> there was no scroll bar so you kept clicking out of windows
[12:02] <Dr_willis> you can easially add classic-gnome menu to unity.
[12:02] <Dr_willis> scroll bar auto-apears here for me.. so i never have that issue either.
[12:02] <sixofour> it should always be there, why remove, its retarded
[12:02] <Dr_willis> whatever.
[12:03] <Dr_willis> its fairly easy to reenable the scrll bars also.
[12:03] <sixofour> this is pretty sad actually, if linuix distros are going into this bad style of itnerface, along with windows 8 adopting the same horrible interface.... what is left... mac? lol
[12:03] <Dr_willis> rant some more about it in the support channels.. it may help.
[12:03] <Dr_willis> or learn to tweak it how you want
[12:03] <sixofour> I want it exactly like gnome 2, look and functionality
[12:04] <gaelfx> sixofour: try Lubuntu
[12:04] <sixofour> i'll look into that
[12:04] <Dr_willis> gnome2 is dead. if you inssist on gnome-2 find some of the disrtos at disrtowatch that still use it.
[12:04] <Dr_willis> we have offered dozens of suggestions.
[12:05] <Dr_willis> brb
[12:10] <gaelfx> sixofour: it's even better than gnome2, imho
[12:10] <ahhughes> I've add a new share in smb.conf... what is the windows domain I need to use to connect to it by default?
[12:13] <geirha> ahhughes: Not sure what you're asking, but isn't the default Windows domain "MSHOME"?
[12:13] <gigix> MSHOME for home edition and WORKSPACE for professional ?
[12:14] <blackgatocatnegr> ok, I got two particions, one with ubuntu the other with windows, need to add grub, any recomended program?
[12:15] <wica> Hello, where can I get some more information about casper for a live cd. I wanne make some changes to the scripts
[12:17] <geirha> blackgatocatnegr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[12:18] <ahhughes> geirha, its actually the domain of the linux samba share that I dont know
[12:19] <geirha> wica: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[12:19] <yeats> ahhughes: that will be set in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[12:19] <blackgatocatnegr> thank ya
[12:19] <PapaSierra> does ubuntu publish info on when packages will become available? for example php is on 5.3.10 but i really want 5.4.4
[12:19] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:20] <blackgatocatnegr> papssierra, if you really wanna be up to date, you will have to compile
[12:20] <blackgatocatnegr> bye
[12:20] <wica> geirha: Thnx, I missed that site
[12:20] <Halexander9000> Greetings from Eastern Europe! Could someone help me restore my sound output from my computer? I have an ASUS EEE PC 904HD running UBUNTU, and today while watching a Youtube video, the audio just upped an muted itself. Tried the audio mixer, everything was set to high, still nothing. Tried Pavucontrol from the console, still nothing. Could someone please help me?
[12:20] <yeats> PapaSierra: you can check Debian unstable for which version it's using - the next Ubuntu release will probably be close to that
[12:21] <crazyandi86> hi! i want to downgrade xserver-common from 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.3 to 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.2, how to do that the easiest way?
[12:21] <Halexander9000> I even rebooted. Still nothing.
[12:21] <geirha> ahhughes: If your smb.conf doesn't have a "workgroup = something", the default is WORKGROUP according to "man smb.conf"
[12:21] <yeats> crazyandi86: do you mind if I ask why you would need to do that?
[12:23] <crazyandi86> yeats: since i rebooted the last time, my system freezes every time i set my display resolution to "1280x800 + 1920x1080" (dual monitor extended)
[12:23] <wica> geirha: 1 more thing, do you know if i change stuff in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts, before creating the squashfs rootfs. it will be pickedup when creating the squashfs rootfs?
[12:23] <Halexander9000> Hello? Could someone please tell me that I'm not alone here?
[12:24] <wica> Halexander9000: Hello, you are not alone here
[12:24] <crazyandi86> yeats: tried different kernels, but freezing my whole system every time, so i looked into my /var/log/dkpg.log, and the only thing i changed was upgrading from 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.2 to 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.3
[12:26] <Halexander9000> Hello wica . You wouldn't know how to handle a mute computer with ubuntu, would you? I need it unmuted. Pretty please?
[12:27] <wica> Halexander9000: do sudo alsamixer
[12:27] <wica> and check if there is nothinh on mute.
[12:27] <yeats> crazyandi86: what model graphics card?
[12:28] <crazyandi86> yeats: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[12:28] <geirha> wica: Sorry, I don't know. I haven't messed around with customizing the livecd myself, nor squashfs.
[12:28] <crazyandi86> yeats: sry, wrong line, Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[12:29] <Halexander9000> wica: What am I supposed to do here. Everything seems normal.
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[12:29] <yeats> crazyandi86: you've looked in the xorg logs for error messages?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  you using normal speakers? or HDMI audio? or a laptop?
[12:30] <crazyandi86> yeats: the problem is, it yust freezes, how can i do that? i don't even get a virtual console
[12:30] <wica> geirha: Looking at the scripts. find a check for  /custom-installation/ :)
[12:30] <Halexander9000> wica: In alsamixer in the console, there's an Auto-mute column that reads Enabled for some reason. How do I change it?
[12:31] <wica> Halexander9000: m
[12:31] <wica> Halexander9000: pres the m on that channel
[12:31] <Halexander9000> Dr_Willis: Do you know how?
[12:31] <yeats> crazyandi86: my approach would be to try and figure out what's actually going wrong rather than getting into trying to downgrade packages (which could render your system unstable)
[12:31] <yeats> crazyandi86: so I would boot into recovery mode and drop to a root console to view the logs with 'less'
[12:32] <Halexander9000> wica: What "m"?
[12:32] <wica> the key "m"
[12:32] <crazyandi86> yeats: my system is running very well, unless i don't set my resolution to the mentioned "extended monitor"-configuration
[12:33] <croz> any conky pros here? i'm getting this error.warning: failed to load external entity "/home/nando/Scripts/weather.xslt"
[12:33] <croz> cannot parse /home/nando/Scripts/weather.xslt
[12:33] <heoa> What was the file to configure apache?
[12:33] <yeats> crazyandi86: ok - so why don't you boot into the less-than-optimal resolution and view the logs from there?
[12:33] <heoa> http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Apache_As_a_Reverse_Proxy <-- looking place for this
[12:34] <Cottus> global configuration files are in /etc
[12:34] <yeats> crazyandi86: you might try 'grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log' for starters
[12:34] <Halexander9000> wica: I disabled the Auto-Mute, closed AlsaMixer and still nothing.
[12:35] <Guest10901> hey
[12:36] <Guest10901> how can i   enable mobile broadband  in 12.04
[12:36] <crazyandi86> yeats: i didn't think it writes anything there, because i thought the kernel immediately freezes, so doesn't write anything... but im looking for something right in this moment
[12:36] <crazyandi86> yeats: and why "grep EE ..."?
[12:37] <yeats> crazyandi86: because any Xorg errors in that log are marked with "EE"
[12:38] <crazyandi86> yeats: oic
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> as in EEEeeeee! it Crashed!
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> ;P
[12:38] <yeats> Dr_Willis: exactly
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Or more likely Executable Error., or Eronous Error. :) or Extreme Error.
[12:39] <Halexander9000> Dr_Willis: But it kept on working ever since I bought it in 2008.
[12:39] <crazyandi86> yeats: doesn't grep anything relevant, yust like i thought
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  Huh?
[12:39] <Halexander9000> Why would the sound, of all components, let me down now.
[12:39] <wica> Halexander9000: Then I don't know
[12:40] <Halexander9000> You were making fun of my netbook. The ASUS EEE PC I have.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> sound used to work on your setup then stopped recently?
[12:40] <yeats> crazyandi86: okay - well your system logs should let you know if this is actually a kernel-level problem - check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg
[12:40] <crazyandi86> yeats: i yust thing it is an xserver-bug, why don't reset the last working version?
[12:40] <Halexander9000> It stopped just now.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  i was? i dont recall.. I have several netbooks.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> I have seen Soundcards Die. But it could be some other weird issue. Test with a Live cd or other OS to see if sound in fact works..
[12:40] <yeats> crazyandi86: have you searched Ubuntu bugs for something similar to what you're seeing?
[12:40] <wica> Halexander9000: Whate happens when you boot with a livecd?
[12:40] <Halexander9000> I was watching something and poof. Everything muted. I may have hit something on my keyboard accidentally, but... I doubt it had any influence.
[12:41] <Halexander9000> A what? The EEE PC has no optical bay.
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> Most laptops have a fn-FX key to mute things
[12:41] <wica> Halexander9000: USB flash drive
[12:41] <yeats> crazyandi86: in any case, I would continue doing some log forensics before trying something as drastic has downgrading packages - that could become a rabbit hole you don't want to go down
[12:41] <Halexander9000> ... isn't there any other way?
[12:42] <yeats> crazyandi86: but that's just my advice - others here may have better ideas
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> Prove its not a Hardware issue..  can save a lot of time.
[12:42] <crazyandi86> yeats: yes, but i think the bug is quite new, because the upgrade was from this morning ( 9:00am), and im updating quite regularly
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> if a 12.04 live setup sound works. that would point to some update messing with things.
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> try an older kernel. see if it works in it. also check the bug reports. it may be a known issue and a fix mey be in the works.
[12:44] <crazyandi86> yeats: hm, i just didn't find someone with the same problem, i looked for it for quite a time, before i came here
[12:44] <yeats> crazyandi86: that actually points to it *not* being a bug
[12:45] <yeats> bugs happen to more than just one person
[12:45] <Halexander9000> Dr_Willis: In fact... now that you mention it. I plugged my headphones and the sound it working. I unplug then, and the internal speakers don't work.
[12:45] <Halexander9000> is working*
[12:46] <OltreIrc`10307> ciao
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  ive seen dozens of variantions on 'internal or headphones - not working when i plyug them in, or both work' type errors.
[12:46] <OltreIrc`10307> chi sa dirmi dove trovare la sezzione backtrack
[12:46] <croz> any conky pros here?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !backtrack > OltreIrc`10307
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> croz:  you could just ask the actual question. ;)
[12:46] <OltreIrc`10307> !backtrack
[12:46] <mackmoney3000> croz, i know just enough to break it
[12:47] <crazyandi86> yeats: my theory was, that it is to new to be recognized as one :-)
[12:47] <Halexander9000> Dr_Willis: So... what do you suggest?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  if plugging in and removeing the headphones messed up the volume.. try removeing them and rebooting and see if it comes back.
[12:48] <OltreIrc`10307> #backtrack-it
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> Halexander9000:  then see if you can repeate the issue. if so file a bug report
[12:48] <OltreIrc`10307> #backtrack-it  no found
[12:48] <crazyandi86> yeats: but i mean, i didn't change any configs, or anything, i'm changing the res with the regular tools, and it just breaks my whole system. what is your definition of a bug? :-/
[12:49] <yeats> crazyandi86: in any case, you would need to have log info to report as a bug (which you're welcome to do, btw)
[12:49] <yeats> crazyandi86: I don't think you have enough information to know what it is yet
[12:49] <randy2009> Hi, i have a ubuntu server with a high load: load average: 0.95, 1.30, 1.15. But if i look in top i see that the cpu usage is verry little
[12:49] <randy2009> what am i missing?
[12:50] <crazyandi86> yeats: tried it again, but how can i retrieve log infos, when it immediately dies? a kernel debugger?
[12:50] <randy2009> the % iddle is between 50 and 100% on both cpu's
[12:50] <yeats> crazyandi86: the logs don't disappear between reboots, so you should be able to find the errors after rebooting
[12:51] <pooltable> help missing the pannel that show the programes that are running how do i fix it ?
[12:51] <yeats> randy2009: which program is at the top of 'top'?
[12:51] <crazyandi86> yeats: ok, grepping through my logs a bit longer...
[12:51] <MacroMan> How do I redirect stderr as well as stdout?
[12:52] <randy2009> apache
[12:52] <wica> 2>&1 pla
[12:52] <yeats> crazyandi86: you might open the log with 'less' or a text editor to see the messages in sequence
[12:52] <yeats> rather than just grepping
[12:52] <MacroMan> I doing ./myscript.sh > mylog.log but any errors are still printed to screen
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> they are printing to stderr instead of stdout perhaps.
[12:53] <MacroMan> Dr_Willis: Yes, how do I pipe stderr as well?
[12:53] <randy2009> yeats: apache, it's a mercurial server
[12:53] <MacroMan> Specifically mysql errors
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> MacroMan:  I always forget the syntax some weirdnes seith &2> i recall
[12:53] <yeats> randy2009: and, depending on the server and its usage, 1.00 or more is not that high of a load average in my experience
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> with..
[12:54] <crazyandi86> yeats: but i don't exactly know what to look for, so i think grepping makes more sense
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2342826/how-to-pipe-stderr-and-not-stdout
[12:54] <yeats> crazyandi86: suit yourself - I'm just suggesting what has worked for me in the past ;-)
[12:54] <randy2009> ok, the users experience is that the site is slow, so i'm trying to figure out what can cause it
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> command 2>&1 >/dev/null
[12:54] <yeats> randy2009: apache logs look okay?
[12:54] <randy2009> much 401's
[12:55] <randy2009> so thinking of giving the vm 4 instead of 2 vcpu's
[12:55] <crazyandi86> yeats: didn't mean it that way, thanks for the tip, i just didn't want to search my whole syslog+dmesg manually
[12:55] <MacroMan> Dr_Willis: Ah found it 2>&1
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> MacroMan: other tips and tricks http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2342826/how-to-pipe-stderr-and-not-stdout
[12:56] <yeats> randy2009: how much RAM?
[12:56] <MacroMan> Dr_Willis: Cool, thanks
[12:57] <MacroMan> wica: Just noticed that you answered my question, but I didn't realise it was directed at me. Thanks all the same.
[12:57] <randy2009> yeats: 4gb
[12:58] <randy2009> used 3,4, cached 2,4 so no need for memory expansion?
[12:58] <yeats> randy2009: yeah - I think adding CPUs might help, but I would troubleshoot those 401 errors if they are unexpected
[13:06] <yandex832> Has anyone succesfully run Skyrim on Ubuntu?
[13:07] <|Long|> hi, have anyone here used kvirc apps? where to set blowfish?
[13:15] <Saiki> where can I find this file?: libstdc++.so.5
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> you mean on your system? or in the package maanger to install Saiki ?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> !find libstdc++
[13:17] <lukasz_>  7788
[13:17] <Saiki> Dr_Willis: to install
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> libstdc++5 - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> seems  posibly :)
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> willis@Speedbuntu:~$ apt-cache search libstdc++ | grep 5
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> not sure why  apt-cache search libstdc++5   dident show it.
[13:19] <Saiki> Dr_Willis: thanks :)
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> most be somthing with the ++ perhaps.. nothing like libstdc++6 seems to work either.
[13:23] <elspuddy> dose the 12.04 dvd have both x64 and x86 ?
[13:23] <geobila> yes
[13:23] <geobila> as in versions
[13:23] <elspuddy> thanks
[13:23] <geobila> not included both in the same dvd
[13:23] <fidel> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/
[13:24] <DJones> elspuddy: the dvd's are either 64 or 32 bit versions, the difference to the live cd is that they include additional language packs
[13:25] <elspuddy> right, so i can install that on my 1u server and it will have the x64 version on it
[13:26] <ldiamond> can I mount / with noatime options by just adding the line in fstab? Or is / different because it's already mounted when reading /etc/fstab?
[13:27] <Cottus> on boot time fstab is consulted
[13:28] <Cottus>  / is mounted according to fstab
[13:30] <ldiamond> tx
[13:30] <ldiamond> thx
[13:31] <Saiki> Dr_Willis: ok one more question, how can I search for a string inside files in a directory?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Saiki:  grep command searches text files for patterns
[13:31] <jonas108> t
[13:34] <Saiki> Dr_Willis: so I could "grep /etc  version" ?
[13:35] <Saiki> Dr_Willis: sand does it check subdirectories?
[13:36] <torvaldsFan> Hello , I've 2 problems with ubuntu 12.04 . 1) It got hanged twice without any warning or error. 2) THe bluetooth sometimes remains on by default on startup. ANy solutions ?
[13:42] <icementhols> hi everyone
[13:43] <icementhols> anyone know if there is a bug with 12.04 unity workspaces? i have four selected but i cant seem to access the bottom two using keyboard, i have to click with mouse to access them ? anyone ?
[13:47] <revol0xf> Saiki, try -R for recursive search. You will get all the information about grep in the man page.
[13:48] <blinkiz> Hello everyone!
[13:49] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, are you around?
[13:49] <LoboX> cl
[13:52] <[flux]> How do I recursively get the permissions of all folders and files in a directory?
[13:52] <[flux]> ls -l?
[13:52] <AdvoWork> urgh, i can do: wine ......dreamweaver.exe in terminal and it loads fine. if i do a launcher via terminal it works fine, if i do it via application, nothing happens. I made a script, just doing wine .....dreamweaver.exe and i try and run that via the application loader, but again, nothing loads. Any suggestions please?
[13:53] <sipior> [flux]: close: "ls -lR"
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  what I do: windows in virtualbox, install dreamweaver there
[13:53] <AdvoWork> MonkeyDust, it took me absolutely ages to get dreamweaver working anyway, im almost scared to remove it and try it in anything else lol, what version did you get working?
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  ancient archaelogy: dreamweaver MX, 2004 or so :p
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> hmm?
[13:54] <AdvoWork> same lol
[13:54] <[flux]> thanks, sipior
[13:55] <[flux]> (was using ls -lr)
[13:55] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, i tried that thing you mentioned earlier, even with wine "whatyever &" and same it just doesnt load
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  wine whatever.exe & dosent work either?
[13:56] <FreeNslaved> anyone up to helping.....12.4  cant get video to play...installed 3rd party software flash and VLC on 32 bit older system...not working playing video.  worked fine under  xubuntu 11
[13:57] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, no, even tried cd "location of file"  then wine file &   it runs if i run the script in terminal, but not from the menu :S
[13:57] <fidel> FreeNslaved: video or flash?
[13:58] <fidel> FreeNslaved: sure you got a working gfx-driver in use?
[13:58] <FreeNslaved> not sure...how do i check?
[13:58] <whiskers_> I'm trying to run uwsgi as a daemon on 12.04, whenever I do "sudo service uwsgi restart" it claims to have restarted "OK" but I see nothing in the /var/log/uwsgi.log and my configured Flask app doesn't work. Any ideas where to look for further clues?
[13:58] <geirha> AdvoWork: Have you checked ~/.xsession-errors for clues?
[13:59] <whiskers_> I'm at a bit of a loss now, I've not bee using uwsgi for long so I don't know if there is some subtley I'm missing (however I managed to get this to work on a server over the weekend)
[13:59] <solocommand> Mornin folks. I'm running oneric; is it possible to install a package from precise or natty? Or is that a worse idea than compiling/src install?
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> !backports | solocommand
[13:59] <gre_nouille> hey MonkeyDust ! it was the ssh "-T" option :)
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> solocommand:  best would bve find it in 'backports' then perhaps look for ppa's - then source.
[14:00] <fidel> solocommand: you shouldnt do that - there is a reason a package is available in 1 version and not in the other
[14:00] <FreeNslaved> fidel.... is it easy to check to see if I have it loaded....i am clueless about commands at the terminal but understand how to enter them
[14:01] <solocommand> fidel: The version of the package available in oneric is incompatible with other software, so I need a different version. Preferably without changing the OS :)
[14:01] <solocommand> Thanks for the info though, folks. I'll check out backports
[14:01] <fidel> solocommand: backports or ppa then i guess
[14:01] <New> hey guys how are you all? when i boot into ubuntu using the windows installer i get a blank screen. i am using the correct Bit version. Any suggestions to get it running properly?
[14:01] <FreeNslaved> fidel   would it be    sudo apt-get gfx-driver     at the terminal?
[14:02] <fidel> FreeNslaved: i cant guess what driver you would need as you have afaik not even mentioned your gfx-device or similar
[14:03] <fidel> FreeNslaved: i was willing to point  you into a direction - that direction is mentioning the ubuntu- version - used hardware - what you tried so far - and what the current issue is. forward those infos to the channel and hope someone is willing to help
[14:03] <FreeNslaved> ty
[14:04] <ZZ> hey guys. i loaded YLMF linux
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> ZZ:  so you should be using the YLMF support channels.. since its not UBuntu.
[14:05] <New> i downloaded the new ubuntu 12.04 from ubuntus website, my hardware is basic, single core, 2gigs of ram. 2.2 ghz. i still believe it should boot properly. whats odd is as i shut windows down at the blank screen i saw a flash of the operations system which let me to believe its a possible bios issue
[14:05] <ZZ> its  based on ubuntu. im new to it. just found this app pre installed
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> ZZ:  theres lots of disrtos based on ubuntu.. they have their own support.
[14:06] <fidel> ZZ: still this channel focused on ubuntu itself and not distris based around it
[14:06] <FreeNslaved> <--downloaded 12.4  32 bit iso and have yet had  it install on 3 older systems properly
[14:06] <ZZ> oh ok cool :)
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> New:  you did a normal install? or are you using Wubi?
[14:07] <ZZ> cello u from ZA?
[14:07] <New> Dr_Willis: i used the windows installer and the ubuntu iso from ubuntu's website
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> New:  so thats a 'wubi' install then.
[14:08] <subz3r0> wubi = windows installer
[14:08] <subz3r0> wubi = Crap
[14:08] <New> notice the word new lol
[14:08] <New> my name was new to ubuntu but it cut off
[14:09] <New> too many characters. i didnt realize
[14:09] <IdleOne> subz3r0: no need for the joke comments. Please keep it support related.
[14:09] <Saiki> New:That's cause youcan't use spaces
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> you dont use spaces in nicn names either.
[14:09] <New> ah i see
[14:09] <soraa> hi
[14:09] <subz3r0> IdleOne, well maybe its OT: but fact is wubi is useless like a third leg...
[14:09] <soraa> i have problems startin dhcp server
[14:09] <soraa> Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied
[14:09] <soraa> and i'm root
[14:10] <Saiki> subz3r0: speak for yourself. don't make swweping statements
[14:10] <New> So do i just burn the iso and boot into that from the Bios?
[14:10] <Saiki> mornin IdleOne btw lol
[14:11] <Saiki> New: burn the iso and run it at bios startup, yes
[14:11] <subz3r0> Saiki, so? Im talking for myself... imo wubi is kinda useless... that's it. any1 can share this view or not. i dont care..
[14:11] <Saiki> subz3r0: it's counterproductive to this environment
[14:12] <subz3r0> like wubi... but well. ok...
[14:12] <Silence> how do i arrange the order of the applets on the top horizontal panel in unity in 12.04?
[14:12] <IdleOne> subz3r0: My point was that it is off topic but also was not helpful. If you don't know the answer to an issue that is fine, don't distract the user needing help with unhelpful comments please.
[14:12] <subz3r0> you're welcome
[14:13] <FreeNslaved> fidel...i installed 12.04 Xu on this 32 bit system about 5 years old...using on board video ...from an MCI motherboard...on board video chip
[14:13] <New> I just confirmed i do not have and blank cds/dvds. my luck haha. is there any alternate method? Possible a VM ware file?
[14:13] <temp> please why is it so necessary to unmount a portable disk before formatting it in ubuntu
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> temp:   so you dont confuse the system
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> temp  because you cant modify a mounted disk
[14:14] <bitsmix> anybody know why there is always a gpg key error?   the key:  40976EAF437D05B5
[14:15] <temp> Dr_Willis: thanks
[14:15] <temp> MonkeyDust: thanks
[14:15] <fidel> bitsmix: are you using some ppas? is the error entry related to one of those ppas?
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> temp  you cant repair a car engine while you're driving, that's the idea (more or less)
[14:16] <temp> MonkeyDust: lol!; sure!, got it
[14:16] <New> Is ubuntus browsing more private/secure?
[14:17] <fidel> New: compared to what in the first place?
[14:17] <BluesKaj> New, in what manner ,viruses ?
[14:17] <bitsmix> fidel:  there is no `ppa` in my source list. it's just-installed ubuntu 12.04 server. ;(
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> New  linux is more secure when it comes to malware, it's browser independent
[14:17] <fidel> bitsmix: it just was an idea - i havent seen you posting a source.lisr thats why i came to the guess
[14:17] <FreeNslaved> New you may like www.duckduckgo.com
[14:18] <New> i use that daily FreeNslaved
[14:18] <FreeNslaved> :O)
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> New  https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html
[14:18] <New> Virus free is always great :)
[14:18] <New> i use https as well
[14:18] <josvuk> Hello, my python path is somewhat destroyed after runnign apt-get hwo to fix it?
[14:18] <fidel> bitsmix: check if you can reproduce that with another default mirror
[14:18] <bitsmix> fidel:  my source list:  http://pastebin.com/BiZ5SCy8
[14:19] <bitsmix> fidel: besides, there is nothing in the "/etc/apt/source.list.d/"
[14:19] <gogli> how to un-install Document Viewer ?
[14:19] <fidel> bitsmix: ok - as i told you above - it was just an idea ;)
[14:19] <ajkdsja> WTH? iptalbes doesnt accept ACCEPT argument ?
[14:19] <fidel> my next step would be replacing mirrors and trying to reproduce the error with those modified sources
[14:20] <ajkdsja> iptables -A INPUT -i lo -d $LOOP -j ACCEPT
[14:20] <bitsmix> fidel:  well, thx any way
[14:20] <ajkdsja> Bad argument `ACCEPT'
[14:20] <fidel> bitsmix: if that still throws errors - its getting interesting
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> gogli  there's apt-get purge
[14:20] <IdleOne> ajkdsja: try ALLOW
[14:20] <bitsmix> fidel:  just search " 40976EAF437D05B5 "
[14:20] <IdleOne> ajkdsja: I have no experience with iptables btw
[14:21] <ajkdsja> Bad argument `ALLOW'
[14:21] <fidel> bitsmix: to achive what?
[14:21] <ajkdsja> hahahahah
[14:21] <bitsmix> fidel: you will see, there are a lot of problems..
[14:22] <fidel> bitsmix: i dont know why i should - it works here and on all other 12.0.4 boxes i am using. have you done the mirror-change test?
[14:23] <bitsmix> fidel: what's the mirror-change test?
[14:23] <dinko> Hi!
[14:23] <fidel> bitsmix: the thing i mentioned already 2 times and you havent replied so far ;)
[14:23] <fidel> anyways - im off - gl
[14:24] <FreeNslaved> thanks fidel
[14:27] <IdleOne> bitsmix: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 437D05B5
[14:27] <bitsmix> fidel: sorry, i changed another source, and the problem solved. thank you very much.
[14:27] <bitsmix> IdleOne: I've executed this more than, let's say, ten times, but not work..
[14:29] <AdvoWork> geirha, the only error I get is, too many open files ulimit -n probably needs to be increased, but i dont know if thats due to wine or something else, but as i say, it opens in terminal :S
[14:29] <Keverw> Hey. Is it possible to slim down ubuntu? It seems to go really slow in my 512mb VM, 1024 mb is way better. I really just need to run 1 little app on it. Not sure if I can like strip it down or something.
[14:30] <Balask> sure
[14:30] <Balask> Go to the dash home and press alt
[14:30] <Balask> search for System Monitor
[14:30] <Keverw> and it froze while updating and now it fails to update or install stuff in the Ubtunu Software center… I guess I should reinstall it now that I bumped up the ram?
[14:30] <Balask> go to processes
[14:30] <geirha> AdvoWork: Hm. Odd indeed.
[14:31] <Balask> inside there you can see what's running you can kill what you don't want running and then change what starts up or what is installed
[14:31] <zykotick9> Keverw: you could start from the mini iso and only install what you need.  see "/msg ubottu mini" for some more details.
[14:33] <Keverw> oh cool. Will check that out
[14:34] <AdvoWork> geirha, any suggestions, I cant work this out :S
[14:34] <Rouko> Hello I am new here
[14:34] <Balask> Hello so am I
[14:36] <AdvoWork> How can I change ulimit ? its 1024 at the moment, isn't it depreceated?
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> !find ulimit
[14:38] <geirha> AdvoWork: Put ''set -x'' at the start of the script, and see if the xtrace output (which will end up in ~/.xsession-errors) give any clues
[14:38] <geirha> AdvoWork: help ulimit
[14:39] <Keverw> What's the fastest desktop? Gnome, Xfce, Unity?
[14:40] <Keverw> Xfce looks really cool. One of my friends said he likes it. Not sure what distro he's running but I assume I can swap out Unity for Xfce.
[14:40] <riktking> Keverw: id say from those xfce
[14:40] <riktking> but there are even lighter
[14:40] <genii-around> LXDE
[14:41] <Dubahco> can i lower the cpu usage by using ubuntu in text mode?
[14:41] <riktking> http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/top-4-lightweight-official-ubuntu-based.html
[14:41] <riktking> lubuntu and xubuntu are quite light
[14:41] <Rouko> I think that fluxbox is the  fastest desktop
[14:41] <BlouBlou> Dubahco: yes, just open a tty
[14:41] <riktking> flux is v light
[14:42] <Dubahco> BlouBlou: tty?
[14:42] <AdvoWork> geirha, i think ive spotted the problem, in terminal to run dreamweaver i have todo: wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/program files/adobe/adobe dreamweaver cs4/dreamweaver.exe"  the error shows: wine cannot find L"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\Dreamweaver.exe :S  any ideas about that?
[14:42] <genii-around> riktking: Hard to take that page seriously as it considers Kubuntu to be a lightweight desktop
[14:42] <BlouBlou> Dubahco: control + alt + 2   >> to exit from tty: control + alt + 7
[14:42] <riktking> genii-around: i getcha
[14:42] <BlouBlou> you can use 2, 3, 4... there're few tty
[14:43] <zykotick9> BlouBlou: F1-F6, not 1-6
[14:43] <BlouBlou> oh yeah right zykotick9 :P
[14:44] <riktking> it could be lighter than unity to
[14:44] <geirha> AdvoWork: That's the exact line you put in your script?
[14:44] <riktking> as in unity 3D
[14:44] <john__> is there anybody speaking chinese?
[14:44] <DJones> !cn | john__
[14:44] <BlouBlou> Dubahco: well, what zykotick9 said, control + alt + F2
[14:44] <BlouBlou> Dubahco: if you want to exit from tty, use control + alt + F7
[14:45] <AdvoWork> geirha, yeah wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/program files/adobe/adobe dreamweaver cs4/dreamweaver.exe" works in terminal
[14:46] <Duality> hi
[14:46] <zykotick9> BlouBlou: fyi once you are in a VT you don't need ctrl - so just alt+f7 brings you back to gui (you can also use alt+LorRArrow to switch between VTs) ctrl is only needed in Xorg
[14:47] <Duality> i got the option in bios to make from a dual core cpu a single core (just make one availble disable the other) would this help save power under ubuntu ?
[14:47] <geirha> AdvoWork: Should work just as fine from ascript. Very odd.
[14:47] <o0o0> !laptopmodetools
[14:47] <o0o0> Duality, check laptop-mode-tools in synnaptic
[14:48] <o0o0> !powersave
[14:48] <AdvoWork> geirha, its like its looking in a different directory :S
[14:48] <Duality> o0o0, i had jupiter installed laptop-mode-tools just removed it ...
[14:49] <Rouko> Is it anybody her who can explain for me how i edit the name of my user in the terminal? I am not so godd on english but i hope anny person can understand what am saying.
[14:49] <o0o0> !jupiter
[14:49] <Duality> o0o0, are you trying to talk to a bot :)?
[14:49] <zykotick9> !msgthebot | o0o0
[14:50] <geirha> AdvoWork: Try specifying WINEPREFIX explicitly.  export "WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine";
[14:50] <o0o0> heh,
[14:50] <o0o0> !cmon
[14:50] <o0o0> :D
[14:50] <AdvoWork> geirha, in the actual script itself? ie wine ...... export ... ?
[14:50] <rattatoue> Is there a channel on here or can I ask in here. For people running 3.5 kernel right now on Ubuntu?
[14:50] <geirha> AdvoWork: Yes, but export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine"; wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c..."

[14:58] <OerHeks> ajkdsja, not possible to connect to a hotspot and provide a hotspot with the same wifi adapter.
[14:59] <ajkdsja> OerHeks: yes it is
[14:59] <OerHeks> ajkdsja, you need a 2nd wifi adapter to do so
[14:59] <ajkdsja> OerHeks: windows does

[14:59] <ajkdsja> ando airbase-ng too

[16:24] <DaDaDOSPrompt> mtrd, have you any clue what that applet is?
[16:25] <DaDaDOSPrompt> it might be a desktop widget, judging by the name

[16:25] <DaDaDOSPrompt> are you running that mtrd` ?
[16:26] <DaDaDOSPrompt> if so, I guess you'd want to eliminate the use of that applet; granted, of course, it'll also disable easy desktop bluetooth connections

[16:44] <Adam_> does the iso have to be in the Windows folder??
[16:45] <Adam_> bazhang
[16:46] <bazhang> http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/06/how-to-convert-flac-to-mp3-from-command.html tapout
[16:46] <viru_> how to mount windows partition in ubuntu when ubuntu is installed alongside with windows?
[16:46] <Adam_> nevermind
[16:47] <lee_> @tapout, I am new , but if you can get Audacity, you can play the file and record it as it plays and save it that way.
[16:47] <elspuddy> how do i go about finding what programs are installed on my ubuntu box ?
[16:47] <bazhang> lee_, thats a huge amount of extra effort, no need for that
[16:47] <lee_> hmm truw
[16:47] <Adam_> hey  bazhang is the name of my filename md5 called md5sum?
[16:47] <lee_> Try open Shot?
[16:48] <Adam_> what's the name of the md5sum?
[16:48] <bazhang> tapout, try soundconverter if you wish to use the gui
[16:48] <bazhang> !hashes | Adam_
[16:49] <Adam_> wait so it's the iso name? i thought the iso was supposed to be on the cd rom?
[16:49] <bazhang> !info soundconverter | tap
[16:49] <Adam_> isn't the iso supposed to be on my bootable cd?
[16:50] <bazhang> Adam_, you md5 the iso to be sure its not corrupt, then reburn at low speed, do the disk integrity check and then install
[16:50] <Adam_> so i need to make sure the cd with the iso is in the computer?
[16:50] <bazhang> Adam_, is this not a regular install? is this from within windows (wubi)
[16:50] <PapaSierra> how do i add to the /etc/apt/sources.list file from the command line? is there a special way or is it just a text file?
[16:50] <Adam_> my iso is on the cd and the path is in the WINDOWS folder
[16:51] <lee_> Armegedon transcoder?
[16:51] <bazhang> Adam_, the md5 check is of the iso you downloaded prior to burning to cd
[16:51] <lee_> ehtransamregedon?
[16:51] <Adam_> right now i'm trying to md5sum -c filename.md5
[16:51] <Adam_> oh
[16:51] <bazhang> PapaSierra, sudo nano or gksudo gedit, depending on if you wish gui or cli
  try transamregedon in the software search
[16:52] <PapaSierra> bazhang ok but the bottom line is it's just a text file right? after editing i apt-get update knows about the new entries already?
[16:52] <bazhang> PapaSierra, once you save it sure
[16:53] <drag0nius> whats some good vim color scheme? Can't read default one through ssh ;/
[16:53] <PapaSierra> :)
[16:53] <drag0nius> and vimrc
[16:54] <lee_> Openshot though is a power house in its self. its more then just a Video editor
[16:55] <Adam_> so the iso needs to be in my windows folder?
[16:55] <Adam_> bazhang?
[16:56] <Adam_> nevermind :)

[17:13] <L3top> Adam_: why do you feel you need to download it?
[17:13] <juboba> L3top, to check?
[17:13] <L3top> One can check by looking at it.

[17:13] <juboba> Adam_, md5sum
[17:14] <Shinobi> Where do I calibrate ntrig in 12.04
[17:14] <Adam_> what about it

[17:14] <Adam_> no when i downloaded the iso all i got was the iso
[17:14] <L3top> !hashes | run md5sum ubuntuisoidownloadedname.iso and then confirm it against this

[17:16] <gogli> L3top : apache service
[17:16] <gogli> PapaSierra : ok !
[17:16] <Adam_> so what do i do OerHeks? the instructions say to enter md5sum -c filename.md5
[17:17] <Adam_> and all i got was an iso file

[17:31] <Adam_> gogli, im using a cd rom with the iso on it
[17:32] <IdleOne> Adam_: I missed the original question/problem. Could you please explain what is not working for you?
[17:32] <gogli> Adam_  : O ! thats great then , by default when you make ISO , it undergoes for md5sum
[17:32] <daoneunv> !ask
[17:32] <genii-around> Isn't there a particular ISO to use for Mac installs?
[17:33] <daoneunv> !patience
[17:33] <Adam_> well i inserted the ubuntu cdrom with the iso on it and it booted with the cd. once it got the the ubuntu menu i pressed enter on install ubuntu and then i got some weird code that said stuff like Call Trace: adlsfkja;sldfkj and Code: laksdfj and then e3 53 123 etc
[17:33] <daoneunv> !next
[17:33] <IdleOne> daoneunv: please stop doing that
[17:33] <Adam_> ok then so now what?
[17:33] <gogli> !patience >daoneunv
[17:33] <bekks> genii-around: There is a PPC iso, but thats useless when having an intel-based Mac.
[17:33] <Adam_> yeah
[17:34] <Adam_> i'm trying to dual boot it on this windows pc
[17:34] <mahdi> hi, I get this error when I want to install gimp 2.8: Could not find Python headers
[17:34] <genii-around> bekks: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso seems to indicate not for PPC
[17:34] <IdleOne> Adam_: ok, well what you should do now is md5sum it to make sure it matches and the iso is not corrupt. if you need help doing that in Windows I suggest you ask in ##windows
[17:34] <daoneunv> Do I need the gnome-shell to get rid of Unity?
[17:34] <Adam_> i think i know how but i don't know what path to use
[17:35] <Adam_> the iso is on the cd so
[17:35] <gogli> !patience >daoneunv
[17:35] <IdleOne> Adam_: if the md5 match then there is some other issue and we can work on it further.
[17:35] <Adam_> so do i make a path to the cd
[17:35] <Adam_> ok
[17:35] <IdleOne> gogli: Please stop.
[17:35] <bekks> genii-around: Because thats the ISO for 64bit intel/amd-based.

[17:37] <genii-around> bekks: I'm wondering why a regular amd64 and then a Mac amd64. I imagine something to do withMac  refit  or efi maybe

[17:37] <IdleOne> !notunity > daoneunv

[17:39] <Adam_> ?
[17:40] <IdleOne> Adam_: it would be prudent yes

[17:45] <PapaSierra> better question, how can i check?
[17:45] <Adam_> OK I MD5SUMED IT! and it game me the hash code or whatever. now what?
[17:46] <OerHeks> PapaSierra, best check is the error you got.
[17:46] <PapaSierra> OerHeks where? i can't see any error
[17:46] <PapaSierra> and /var/log/mysql.err is empty
[17:47] <Adam_> IdleOne?
[17:47] <PapaSierra> and /var/log/mysql.log is also empty
[17:47] <IdleOne> Adam_: now you compared it against the official hash provided at !hash

[17:47] <IdleOne> err, !hash doesn't work. gimme a sec Adam_
[17:48] <PapaSierra> OerHeks sorry, but any ideas where the error may have been logged?
[17:48] <IdleOne> Adam_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[17:48] <daoneunv> IdleOne: Hey.. Any assistance for choppy GFX? When I move windows the GFX becomes distorted.

[17:49] <MoPac> Hello -- I'm trying to do an alternate install (for full-disk encryption) using a USB .iso configured in Win7 with Yumi. The installer boots just fine, but it keeps looking for each step of the installation on the optical drive rather than the USB. Does the altnernate .iso only work on optical media?
[17:49] <Adam_> IdleOne, ok it's different but the weird thing is that the iso i used is called ._ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso and the one on the cd is the same thing but without the ._ at the beginning

[17:50] <Pinkamena_D> i cant scroll up the page of the terminal
[17:50] <Pinkamena_D> how do you scroll with screen? usually its just shift+pageup but that does not work
[17:50] <IdleOne> Adam_: alright, there is your problem. Download the iso again from www.ubuntu.com and burn a new CD or USB.
[17:50] <andre_pl> Pinkamena_D: you need to press ctrl+A to enter scrollback mode in screen
[17:50] <andre_pl> and esc to exit
[17:50] <andre_pl> sorry
[17:50] <Pinkamena_D> ok
[17:51] <andre_pl> ctrl+a, esc
[17:51] <andre_pl> then esc to exit
[17:51] <ldiamond> yea it's esc
[17:51] <zykotick9> Pinkamena_D: try shift+pgup
[17:51] <Adam_> ok but the thing is the computer that i'm doesn't have its internet working so what i could do is get a new cd and burn the ._ubuntu iso to it
[17:51] <ldiamond> ctrl+a, esc
[17:51] <ldiamond> then ctrl+b for page up
[17:51] <kaya> guys need to how does the guest user in ubuntu 11.10 lost ma copied  files after restarting

[17:52] <ldiamond> err
[17:52] <ldiamond> screen
[17:53] <Pinkamena_D> thanks andre, that was it
[17:53] <MoPac> Could anybody help with issues related to using the alternate install .iso on a USB stick?
[17:53] <ldiamond> Pinkamena_D, look at what I said.
[17:53] <Pinkamena_D> oh
[17:53] <IdleOne> Adam_: if the shashes don't match that means either your download was corrupted somehow ( it happens) or you don't have a real Ubuntu .iso (modified by someone and there is no way to tell what they changed).
[17:53] <IdleOne> hashes*
[17:54] <Pinkamena_D> yes, i just used page up and pagd down for page up and page down
[17:54] <Pinkamena_D>  but w/e
[17:54] <Adam_> ok well im gonna try to reburn it. should i use the one with ._ at the beginning to burn onto the cd??
[17:55] <bwlang> strange networking problem... i have 2 hosts on the same subnet... one can ping internet hosts, one cannot.  both can ping each other.  Any ideas about why one host can't see the internet?
[17:55] <L3top> IdleOne: I never learned to read.
[17:55] <daoneunv> Just wondering if anyone saw my last messages.
[17:56] <IdleOne> L3top: no worries :)
[17:56] <sirlark_home> bwlang: different gateways are different DNS settings would be my first guess
[17:57] <sirlark_home> Hi all, I installed precise server at the office today, and everything went smoothly until the reboot. On reboot, the bios couldn't find grub, i.e. I got the bios message saying please insert a bootable disk. It's a brand new machine. If I reboot, and press f10 to go to the bios boot menu and select the drive, it boots just fine. Why won't the bios find grub on the boot disk (specified it the bios boot order) automatically.
[17:57] <bwlang> sirlark_home: route -n shows the same gateway... dns is working fine on both, but I'm using ip addresses for testing.
[17:58] <sirlark_home> bwlang: are dns settings the same on both?
[17:59] <sirlark_home> bwlang: but if you're trying to ping by IP address, nvm
[17:59] <sirlark_home> bwlang: is the gateway on the same subnet, or is one machine acting as router/bridge/nat
[18:00] <bwlang> sirlark_home: the gateway is some corporate router - 172.17.10.1 on both hosts
[18:00] <philbuch> Hello, I would like to learn about computers, anyone willing to help?
[18:01] <bwlang> philbuch: just ask your questions.
[18:01] <gigix> philbuch, "about computers" is quite vague
[18:01] <philbuch> Alright thanks. Where do I start when I want to learn?
[18:01] <gigix> what aspects ? programming ? how they work ? how an OS work ?
[18:01] <bwlang> philbuch: wikipedia
[18:02] <IdleOne> philbuch: it depends what you want to learn. This channel is for Ubuntu support so if you have any specific questions related to Ubuntu we might be able to help.
[18:02] <sirlark_home> philbuch: you will need to be more specific about what you want to learn... you've basically just asked the equivalent of "Hi I'd like to learn about agriculture"
[18:03] <sirlark_home> bwlang: what subnet are your two machines on?
[18:03] <bwlang> 172.17.10.0/255
[18:03] <bwlang> silark_home: ^
[18:04] <sirlark_home> bwlang: how are they physically connected (you might want to paste an ascii diagram to a pastebin
[18:05] <philbuch> Okay, thanks to everyone for your answers.
[18:06] <bwlang> silark_home: one is on some kind of xsigo 10G network, the other is a vm
[18:06] <daoneunv> Good website for gtk2 themes?
[18:07] <IdleOne> !themes > daoneunv
[18:07] <digitalcake> Where does ambiance store the icons for the folders? I want to change the icon of my of my folders and I wanted to use of the ambiance theme ones
[18:07] <bazhang> daoneunv, gnome-look.org
[18:08] <gry> philbuch: you'll probably want to start at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer and go from there
[18:08] <L3top> sirlark_home: have you tried to sudo update-grub /dev/sdX   where X is your boot drive (typically "a")
[18:10] <zykotick9> L3top: i don't think update-grub requires a device to be specified
[18:11] <giga2> Is there a site where I can learn command line and how to use it?
[18:12] <genii-around> giga2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal/
[18:12] <bazhang> !rute | giga2
[18:16] <sirlark_home> bwlang: assuming the Vm in on the other physical machine, is the virtualisation software running NAT or staright bridge for networking? Also, is the a firewall on the physical machine?
[18:17] <sirlark_home> L3top: yes, that broke the boot completely, and I had to reinstall
[18:18] <SS-Doomtrooper> i am trying cmd and ipconfig /all but it wont work
[18:18] <sunz> Hi! i just installed ubuntu-studio, everything went well except that the fonts look somewhat "rainbow-colored" here and there..  what can i do to fix that?
[18:18] <zykotick9> SS-Doomtrooper: ifconfig?
[18:18] <L3top> zykotick9: I just always do it because I have different installs on different drives on my dev box, and depending on what I am doing I may or may not want it to find grub wherever it lies... designating boot drives in bios.
[18:18] <SS-Doomtrooper> oh ty
[18:19] <compdoc> SS-Doomtrooper, its just ifconfg. no -all
[18:20] <SS-Doomtrooper> and where do I activate my license? The guy I bought it from gave me the licensing code, but I can't find where to register
[18:20] <L3top> sirlark_home: even if grub is totally hosed it can be reinstalled... for future reference. You do not have to reinstall due to grub puking.
[18:21] <sirlark_home> L3top: I did try to 'rescue my broken system' to do precisely that, but choosing the install a boat loader went through the partitioning and installation steps again. I tried to do the manual grub from a shell thing, but couldn't find grub on the CD
[18:21] <bazhang> SS-Doomtrooper, bought what
[18:21] <SS-Doomtrooper> the copy of ubuntu
[18:22] <bazhang> SS-Doomtrooper, its free
[18:22] <sirlark_home> either way, regrubbing didn't fix the problem
[18:22] <SS-Doomtrooper> he told me I had to register at register.ubuntu.com and fill in the license code to get it activated
[18:22] <bazhang> SS-Doomtrooper, thats false
[18:22] <krr> Hello! Can you please suggest me Ubuntu supported ~ 14" Laptop? Price ~ 1k. From personal experience. Just don`t want to have any problems with drivers etc..
[18:22] <sirlark_home> The hard drive uses a GPT partition table, but that's what precise installation seemed to do. I didn't choose it
[18:22] <SS-Doomtrooper> what do you mean free?
[18:23] <L3top> sirlark_home: you would want to chroot into your install from the live cd, and grub-install from there.
[18:23] <L3top> sirlark_home: I understand
[18:23] <sirlark_home> L3top: aah, okay... (re the chroot)
[18:23] <superlou> I'm on Xubuntu with a quadro fx go1000 graphics card on an older laptop, and based on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nvidia_Drivers it seems like the 173.14.xx drivers should support the card.  However, there is nothing listed in additional drivers?  Is there a way to force Xubuntu to use the nvidia drivers?
[18:23] <bekks> superlou: Just install them. nvidia-173
[18:24] <Dr_willis> krr,  theres several web sites that sell laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled - in a range of prices
[18:24] <gry> krr: http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lc2464dc.html for example
[18:24] <prodnix> hi all, Im getting hundreds of errors when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04.
[18:25] <prodnix> I am using a Xen and the only iso that works is 11.10
[18:25] <superlou> bekks, just sudo apt-get install nvidia-173?  They can be installed side by side with nouveau, or is there some kind of prepartaion i should do?
[18:25] <schnuffle1> prodnix: you upgrade a xen VM or the host?
[18:26] <Dr_willis> superlou,  nvidia installing will blacklist the nouveau drivers i belive
[18:26] <prodnix> neither, aint touched the host in ages and im trying to make a ubuntu VM.
[18:26] <superlou> Dr_willis, bekks, will just go for it then, thanks
[18:26] <prodnix> shnuffle1: neither, aint touched the host in ages and im trying to make a ubuntu VM.
[18:27] <schnuffle1> prodnix: so your host runs what? And from the host you want to create a new 12.04 vm?
[18:27] <prodnix> the host runs xen and thats it.
[18:27] <superlou> Dr_willis, bekks, seems like xorg-video-abi-10 is not installable.  Will research.  It's complaining about "nable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[18:27] <prodnix> no GUI, nothing.
[18:27] <schnuffle1> prodnix: so you create your VM with which command, which apprenlty fails?
[18:28] <superlou> Crud, seems related to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=179489
[18:29] <prodnix> schnuffle1: I have no problems starting the VM and installling. I want to take the 11.10 vm to 12.04 and the GUI upgrader fails to install hundreds of packages
[18:29] <SS-Doomtrooper> he ripped me off
[18:29] <SS-Doomtrooper> im gonna kick his ass
[18:29] <IdleOne> Please mind your language
[18:29] <compdoc> prodnix, its best to create a new 12.04 vm, and transfer settings, etc
[18:30] <schnuffle1> prodnix: okay, tried on the command line?  open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Of course the repos should point to 12.04
[18:30]  * baba24 5178059754912211 | 740 | Jordan Marshall | 0314 | 57702 | 4703 W Chicago St | N/A | Rapid City | US | SD | 605-786-4876 VALID %
[18:30] <bazhang> baba24, dont do that
[18:30] <prodnix> compdoc, none of the 12.04 iso's work. all drop back to prompt
[18:30] <compdoc> prodnix, do you use virt-manager?
[18:31] <prodnix> compdoc, no plain terminal
[18:31] <john__> I used terminal for the sudo update and it worked for me
[18:31] <prodnix> compdoc, i dont have GUI on host
[18:31] <schnuffle1> prodnix: you saw my question?
[18:32] <prodnix> schnuffle1, trying now
[18:32] <compdoc> prodnix, all the servers I build do> aNYWAY, whats the command you use
[18:32] <prodnix> compdoc i use xl
[18:33] <schnuffle1> prodnix: if it fails as well paste the error to see what could be the problem. Did you use any extra repos or apps installed manually?
[18:33] <prodnix> schnuffles, no this is a fresh install.
[18:33] <prodnix> schnuffles1, no this is a fresh install.
[18:33] <compdoc> prodnix, you install qemu-kvm?
[18:33] <schnuffle1> prodnix: you can use tab completion for names so schn<tabY
[18:34] <prodnix> schnuffle1: ty :)
[18:34] <prodnix> compdoc: no, its a fresh install
[18:34] <schnuffle1> compdoc: he uses XEN but his problem is more that he can'T upgrade his VM from 11.04 to 12.04
[18:35] <compdoc> oh, xen
[18:35] <schnuffle1> prodnix: did you update the fresh install?
[18:35] <prodnix> schnuffle1: no, i just clicked on the prompt to upgrade
[18:35] <compdoc> if you cannot get 12.04 running from a new install, then how you gonna run an upgraded one?
[18:35] <schnuffle1> prodnix: then better use the terminal
[18:36] <prodnix> compdoc: 12.04 just doesnt install off iso..
[18:36] <john__> just disk or usb install
[18:36] <schnuffle1> compdoc: tried the alternate iso?
[18:36] <john__> iso may be the issue
[18:37] <philbuch> I just reset my password at the ubuntu website and when I login it doesn't work...
[18:37] <prodnix> schnuffle1: yes, fails on creating base files
[18:37] <schnuffle1> prodnix: I prefer KVM otherwise I would test it.
[18:37] <compdoc> there's no reason it shouldnt run, unless somethings wrong. Ive installed 12.04 in qemu-kvm without issues
[18:38] <Jonii_> Anyone know any reaon why ubuntu 12.4 messes up multitouch on my zenbook clickpad, so that for 4 fnger touch I need 5 fingers, for 3 finger touch 4 fingers, but 2 finger scroll works just fine?
[18:38] <schnuffle1> me too but with KVM. Never got into XEN
[18:38] <prodnix> schnuffle1: Ive been using xen for a long time now and heavily rely on gfx-passthrough
[18:38] <compdoc> 12.04 64bit version
[18:38] <_krzywy_> a
[18:39] <prodnix> schnuffle1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_g7ZBMWoLk&feature=g-upl to get a better idea of what i do, if your bored :)
[18:39] <schnuffle1> prodnix: no critic about XEN it seems to do its job quite, it was just not ready when I tested it the first timeand when it was ready I found KVM more attracting
[18:40] <schnuffle1> prodnix: Nice idea, and grahpics are fast enough for heavy 3D gaming?
[18:41] <prodnix> schnuffle1: work better than u could imagine. very impressive. havent booted win7 on baremetal in over a year now
[18:42] <prodnix> schnuffle1: check out my other video for benchmark resutls
[18:42] <sirlark_home> L3top: Can I just disable UEFI in the bios and do a 'normal install', i.e. without the whole gpt partition
[18:42] <schnuffle1> prodnix: okay back to your problem I would better sort out why 12.04 doesn't install the upgrading from 110.4
[18:42] <prodnix> schnuffle1: that would be awesome
[18:43] <prodnix> schnuffle1: I need to be able to disable pixx-4 daemon or something, thats the error that i get when installing.
[18:43] <schnuffle1> prodnix: so describe your env, how you create the VM and how it fails. and of course what system runs on the host
[18:43] <prodnix> schnuffle1: just a sec and ill fire up the installer now
[18:44] <L3top> sirlark_home: it is my understanding that th gpt is required for larger drives... unrelated to UEFI, but this is not one of my stronger spheres of knowledge.
[18:44] <prodnix> schnuffle1: I use debian 6 host. Xen 4.1.2 and have many different ubuntu isos in my downloads
[18:45] <prodnix> schnuffle1: I write my xl.cfg files by hand and use xl not xm as it is depreciated
[18:46] <leoquant> fsck goes via the recovery mode on u12.04. is this a long proces as in mem check, or a fast one.? (30gb)
[18:47] <schnuffle1> leoquant: fsck on 30GB should take seconds maybe max a minute
[18:47] <genii-around> leoquant: It's usually pretty fast
[18:47] <leoquant> ok thx
[18:48] <genii-around> Depends maybe too on the fs type though
[18:48] <prodnix> schnuffle1: I give the vm 2 vcpus and 1024 ram. I am currently using the HVM loader to boot the VM
[18:49] <sirlark_home> L3top: Thanks anyway
[18:50] <deyan> hello everyone
[18:50] <schnuffle1> prodnix: show the disk = config line
[18:50] <leoquant> schnuffle, it looked like nothing happened. After the check it is a shutdown now, because no other "menu" is popping up?
[18:50] <deyan> how can run ubuntu 64 bits with ati HD6790 video ?
[18:51] <deyan> there is nasty bug in xserver
[18:51] <prodnix> schnuffle1: "disk=[ 'tap:/xen/local/img/ubuntu-desktop.img,hda,w', 'file:/home/prod/Downloads/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso,hdb:cdrom,r' ]"
[18:51] <schnuffle1> leoquant: it shut down after checking? and what happens when you restart
[18:51] <deyan> and i have a black screen
[18:51] <prodnix> schnuffle1: without the quotes
[18:51] <leoquant> schnuffle, no it doesn't shut down after checking
[18:52] <leoquant> I did a powerbutton push....:/
[18:52] <RBARRR> Hello, I am having problems configuring my grub, virtual tty's, and plymouth resolution. Can it be due to the fact I am using LVM + crypt?
[18:53] <RBARRR> Also, the last kernel upgrade for Lucid screwed my grub locales, tildes and stuff like that are showing with "?"
[18:55] <schnuffle1> leoquant: and what happend after the fsck?
[18:55] <leoquant> schnuffle, nothing, a blinking cursor....
[18:57] <schnuffle1> leoquant: sounds that there's something more not correct. What happened between the PC as okay and now it wnat to fsck?
[18:58] <PapaSierra> is there any known reason why "mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.25, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2" would not work on Ubuntu12?
[18:59] <leoquant> no it doesn't want the (auto) fsck, maybe I am fine. but it is not a need/clean process imho schnuffle1
[18:59] <drag0nius> how do i tell ubuntu server to use eth1 as networking device?
[18:59] <drag0nius> NIC i want "WAN" connected to is eth0
[18:59] <drag0nius> eth1*
[18:59] <drag0nius> LAN NIC is eth0
[19:00] <daoneunv> !themes
[19:00] <schnuffle1> leoquant: normally every n reboots an fsck is done and when it's finished it just continues booting
[19:00] <drag0nius> right now it does not start net service unless i plug cable into eth0
[19:00] <daoneunv> !themes > daoneunv
[19:00] <cweilemann> Has anyone else experienced an extremely long boot time (perhaps sleeps for 45-60 seconds between scripts) for startup scripts / processes on 12.04 and fixed this?
[19:01] <leoquant> schnuffle1 not on ubuntu 12.04 afaik
[19:01] <iceman> any ideas how to get 64bit java and firefox on ubuntu 12.04  with vpn? it seem to only work with 32bit
[19:01] <leoquant> previous releases had the auto check
[19:02] <leoquant> and you could "play"with the timeintervals
[19:02] <iceman> does it make any different using either virtualbox or xen on quart cores cpu system?
[19:03] <leoquant> had the fsck every 60 boots schnuffle1
[19:03] <schnuffle1> leoquant: then you know more then me :) haven'T checked it yet... just checked it is still checked :)
[19:03] <daoneunv> Why would GT3 remove minimize and maximize functionality?
[19:04] <daoneunv> & how can I get them back?
[19:04] <leoquant> if this is possible on 12.04 I would be glad to hear how to do that
[19:04] <savid> Hi, I've selected "Make local sound devices available as DLNA/UPnP Media Server" in my pulseaudio prefs, but I don't see the DLNA server show up on my PS3.  Any ideas what else I need to do to make this work?  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
[19:04] <leoquant> ok schnuffle1 ツ
[19:04] <schnuffle1> leoquant: first you need to set the pass flag to 1 in fstab
[19:05] <martman> are there any updated guides for 12.04 on compiling xen by hand?
[19:05] <martman> and the kernel
[19:08] <schnuffle1> leoquant: and to the set the frequence of the checks sudo tune2fs -c 50 /dev/[s|h]d[a-d][1-9]
[19:08] <leoquant> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1075278/ schnuffle1
[19:09] <schnuffle1> leoquant: so your root partition will get checked every n reboot where n can be set as I showed you above
[19:09] <leoquant> ok thx schnuffle1
[19:14] <prodnix> schnuffle1: when I use the alt iso I cant get past "installing base files"
[19:15] <prodnix> schnuffle1: when using GUI installers they all drop to prompt
[19:16] <schnuffle1> prodnix: certainly some graphic problem
[19:16] <morpheus> can anyone sugest a good book/pdf on tcp/ip
[19:17] <prodnix> schnuffle1: GUI installers or alt too? I am using the emulated qemu vga for now but eventually will be moving onto a passed through gfx.
[19:17] <elspuddy> how do i run disk utilty as root ? i cant seem to edit a drive
[19:17] <MonkeyDust> morpheus  tcp/ip for dummies
[19:18] <morpheus> abit more advanced than that please
[19:18] <morpheus> MonkeyDust
[19:19] <anthology> morpheus: http://openpdf.info/ebook/tcp-ip-pdf.html
[19:20] <schnuffle1> prodnix: I just installed a 12.04 64bit with qemu-kvm without a problem. And for XEN to sort out the prob my knowledge might not be enough
[19:20] <o0o0> elspuddy, you can run a different program : gparted
[19:22] <prodnix> schnuffle1: ye i was kinda preparing for it. thanx for your time anyways
[19:24] <schnuffle1> prodnix: youo're welcome
[19:25] <elspuddy> o0o0 : tryed that it ask's for my password then quits
[19:26] <marsfligth> Ubuntu 12.04 64bit doesn't accept the password for my account. Are there others alternatives to 'chroot' method, maybe easier to reset my login password?
[19:27] <Myrtti> marsfligth: reboot to single user mode
[19:27] <catphish> i have a recurring bug that crashes servers after an uptime of 200 days
[19:27] <catphish> does anyone know if it's been patched in 10.04 yet?
[19:27] <JW_> Hi all, anybody have experience configuring atd to work on a SMP server
[19:28] <gry> some do.. what's up
[19:28] <marsfligth> Myrtti: I don't get the grub list at startup. How can I invoke the grub?
[19:28] <gry> (some doesn't mean me but you'll likely find someone who'd respond to a full question) JW_
[19:29] <Myrtti> marsfligth: with shift key
[19:29] <JW_> Well I'd like to configure atd to work on a 32-core server so that jobs will run if the load is still less than 32, but it won't accept jobs that will send the load over 32
[19:29] <drag0nius> on my Ubuntu Server i can't scroll man pages/less commands (takes me to bottom right away), any ideas?
[19:29] <marsfligth> Myrtti: thank you a lot I don't knew how to
[19:30] <drag0nius> neither locally nor through ssh
[19:30] <mongy> drag0nius, using screen?
[19:31] <drag0nius> hmm weird, its not every single time
[19:32] <drag0nius> have any idea how to tell Ubuntu Server to use eth1 instead of eth0 as default networking device?
[19:33] <drag0nius> basically eth1 is my WAN and eth0 is LAN
[19:33] <drag0nius> but it doesnt start networking without eth0 connected to wan
[19:33] <genii-around> drag0nius: You can use the trick of reversing their ethX designations in the 70-persistent-net.rules file I directed you at earlier
[19:35] <drag0nius> hmm
[19:35] <drag0nius> its empty
[19:35] <daoneunv> Hey guys I have gnome-shell-extension installed according to the Ubuntu Software Installer.
[19:36] <daoneunv> When I go to advance settings for gnome however.
[19:36] <daoneunv> It doesn't give me the option to use shell extensions.
[19:37] <marsfligth> Myrtti: Sorry, 'recovery mode' in grub list is like 'single user mode'?
[19:37] <Myrtti> marsfligth: yes.
[19:38] <daoneunv> It doesn't give me the option to use shell extensions.
[19:39] <marsfligth> Great, now I go to try ...
[19:41] <JW__> !atd
[19:41] <JW__> !at
[19:41] <JW__> hmm?  it's in German
[19:42] <JW__> sigh
[19:42] <LjL> yes, because it's the factoid for the Austrian channel...
[19:42] <JW__> oh, I was trying to get info on the program at
[19:42] <iceman> any idea how to get netflix video streaming to work ?
[19:43] <drag0nius> genii-around: the file has nothing but comments right now
[19:44] <genii-around> drag0nius: Interesting. Usually lines like: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1d:72:ed:4b:9e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
[19:45] <drag0nius> i cleared it twice totally (all but comments)
[19:45] <genii-around> drag0nius: So when two lines and one is eth0 the other eth1, you can just reverse them in there, takes effect next boot
[19:46] <drag0nius> second time i thought if i cleared it and then plugged to other card and reboot it would work
[19:46] <a7i3n>  /quit
[19:46] <drag0nius> but seems like after that second clear it's empty whole time
[19:46] <drag0nius> would it get regenerated if i deleted it entirely?
[19:46] <genii-around> It is also supposed to rebuild every boot, so should not be empty after clearing it and then sunsequent boots
[19:46] <genii-around> *subsequent
[19:47] <drag0nius> like whole file not just content
[19:47] <genii-around> drag0nius: I haven't tried that but it *should* work. Maybe move it someplace safe though first
[19:48] <drag0nius> generally i have some big troubles starting dhcp server
[19:48] <drag0nius> service restarts/starts etc dont work
[19:49] <PapaSierra> when i installed mysql i found that /var/run/mysqld was owned by "mysql root" and would not start unless i changed it to "mysql mysql". can you confirm if my fix is correct or whether the problem is actually elsewhere?
[19:49] <rafaelement> Hi guys.I have a huawei e1550 modem 3g stick.it connects to the internet just fine on 12.04, but drops connection after a while.any help?
[19:49] <marsfligth> Myrtti: Have you idea how solve this error ''passwd cannot lock /etc/shadow try again later'?
[19:49] <Myrtti> marsfligth: not a clue - what command did you do when that appeared?
[19:51] <Darkasakerionz> Hi people, anyone know about a mind map program for linux? Specially kde

[19:52] <BHSPitMonkey> Sometimes (often) my sound driver "crashes" and no sound hardware is even visible in Sound settings anymore. Have to reboot to fix. Can anyone propose a reboot-less solution?
[19:53] <genii-around> drag0nius: Are you shutting the machine down in a clean way usually?
[19:53] <drag0nius> shutdown -r 0
[19:53] <Darkasakerionz> thanks
[19:54] <drag0nius> or ctrl alt delete
[19:54] <genii-around> drag0nius: That is not really a "clean" way
[19:54] <PapaSierra> is someone able to help me? ^^

[19:54] <marsfligth> Myrtti: I typed 'passwd -d accountname'
[19:55] <drag0nius> ctrl alt delete only when dhcp @ router goes down and i cba writing that 20 chars password manually xD
[19:55] <drag0nius> what would be the clean way?
[19:55] <Myrtti> marsfligth: if you need to *reset* the password of 'accountname', then do passwd accountname
[19:55] <Myrtti> marsfligth: no need for -d
[19:56] <Myrtti> marsfligth: that allows you to give the account a new password
[19:57] <marsfligth> Myrtti: I done 'passwd accountname' but I get no response. It should be ask for new password, but it skip all
[19:57] <guntbert> marsfligth: just     passwd
[19:58] <Myrtti> guntbert: in single user mode?
[19:58] <marsfligth> Myrtti: What about to do something like 'touch /etc/passwd'?
[19:58] <guntbert> Myrtti: I overlooked that :-(
[19:58] <Myrtti> marsfligth: this is about as far where my knowledge on this reaches :-(
[19:59] <BHSPitMonkey> Sometimes (often) my sound driver "crashes" and no sound hardware is even visible in Sound settings anymore. Have to reboot to fix. Can anyone propose a reboot-less solution?
[19:59] <marsfligth> Myrtti: Thanks anyway for all your suggestions
[19:59] <harris> can you put ubuntu 12.04 on android tablet and why would you want it on a tablet
[20:00] <BHSPitMonkey> harris: you can put it on any hardware you have full control over and that meets ubuntu's requirements
[20:00] <BHSPitMonkey> (and on which all the essential hardware is supported)
[20:01] <sandyd> Does anyone know if fsck is static by default?
[20:01] <harris> BHSPitMonkey,  i am rooted
[20:02] <genii-around> sandyd: ldd /sbin/fsck*   indicates not
[20:02] <sandyd> ah. I see. Thanks!
[20:02] <BHSPitMonkey> harris: it depends more on the ability to change the bootloader to work with ubuntu
[20:02] <JW__> Does anyone have experience running batch jobs involving parallel jobs on an SMP server?
[20:03] <harris> BHSPitMonkey,  can i talk in pm about ubuntu
[20:03] <guntbert> marsfligth: I cannot imagine what   "touch..." would accomplish.  Have a look at /var/log/syslog, maybe you find an error message there
[20:03] <BHSPitMonkey> harris: no
[20:03] <harris> why
[20:03] <BHSPitMonkey> because I'd prefer not to
[20:03] <Myrtti> !pm | harris
[20:03] <harris> ok
[20:04] <harris> why would you want ubuntu on a tablet  BHSPitMonkey
[20:04] <BHSPitMonkey> harris: you wouldn't
[20:05] <harris> does anyone have a tablet running ubuntu
[20:05] <BHSPitMonkey> I'm sure some people have done it "because they can"

[20:09] <U-b-u-n-t-u> what is the best way to uninstall unity without having a system crash
[20:09] <gordonjcp> is there a way to disable this weird behaviour?

[20:09] <ikonia> !nounity > elbrinke
[20:09] <desertfireman> Hello all. I have a question about installing12.04 LTS. I have bee running ubuntu on a dell latitude d505 since 9.04 and have not had any issues installing. Now with 12.04 LTS it says the kernel requires features not present on the cpu: pae and will not boot or run the os. But is I install 11.04 or 11.10 and then upgrade i's fine. My question is this: How do I install 12.04 LTS directly on the d505 ? what can I do to resolve this problem
[20:11] <harris> #freenode
[20:11] <Myrtti> gordonjcp: is it a word file or just plain text? and what do you expect to happen?
[20:11] <gordonjcp> Myrtti: it's plain text, and I expect to see plain text
[20:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ikonia, I already installed gnome... I want to know how to remove unity without messing up my system
[20:11] <gordonjcp> U-b-u-n-t-u: it's probably not worth the effort
[20:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> gordonjcp, ok
[20:11] <desertfireman> Hello all. I have a question about installing12.04 LTS. I have bee running ubuntu on a dell latitude d505 since 9.04 and have not had any issues installing.

[20:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> it looks like it would get messy
[20:11] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: the link explains how to remove unity
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> !repeat| desertfireman
[20:12] <desertfireman> no the channel closedo n me and I had to log back in
[20:12] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ikonia, if it did I didn't see where
[20:12] <JW__> Where might be a good resource to go to find more information on running batch parallel jobs on an SMP server?
[20:12] <desertfireman> I wasn't sure if my question posted
[20:13] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: my apologies I thought there was a link in there also showing how to remove the unity package
[20:13] <Galvatron> U-b-u-n-t-u: Start with installing either GNOME Shell or GNOME Classic (gnome-session-fallback). The just "sudo aptitude purge unity".
[20:13] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ikonia, it seems to tell me how to install gnome and use it instead of unity
[20:13] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ikonia, np
[20:13] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: once you've installed gnome you can remove the unity shell
[20:13] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: be careful not to remove the dependencies
[20:13] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ikonia, that is what I am worried about
[20:14] <ikonia> U-b-u-n-t-u: as long as you pay attention to the info on screen it shouldn't be a problem
[20:14] <copello> Hello, I changed the repository of gnome-shell (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing), now i just can download the gnome-shell3.5.3 but there is no extensions for this version, how do I install gnome-shell3.4 again?
[20:14] <Galvatron> U-b-u-n-t-u: "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-session-fallback"
[20:14] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I was using unity and I installed gnome and my load levels went from maxed out (unity) to almost nothing (gnome) I assume it was a grapics driver issue but I dont know
[20:14] <JW__> It would be nice if there was some package that you could install that would simply analyze your system and remove Unity for you without messing up the dependencies.  Is there such a thing?
[20:15] <Myrtti> gordonjcp: looks like less is trying to be too smart, looks like there's an old closed debian bug for it. I trust you've already tried renaming the file to not have the file extension?
[20:15] <gordonjcp> JW__: I think it's called xubuntu.iso ;-)
[20:15] <gordonjcp> Myrtti: yeah, but that's not a solution
[20:15] <JW__> What is xubuntu?
[20:15] <gordonjcp> JW__: it's Ubuntu with XFCE desktop instead
[20:15] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Galvatron, I have installed gnome. will fallback remove unity without messing up my login etc
[20:15] <schnuffle1> JW__: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TORQUE might be of interest
[20:15] <gry> I forgot where we left off but I have commented everything in '/etc/network/interfaces' and set NManager managed to true, issue persists
[20:16] <K-Lab> hi all
[20:16] <copello> can somebody help me?
[20:16] <gry> with what
[20:16] <Gyges> no
[20:16] <Galvatron> U-b-u-n-t-u: You can absolutely safely remove Unity once you have a different shell
[20:16] <isitme> !please | copello
[20:16] <schnuffle1> JW__: http://debianclusters.org/index.php/Resource_Manager:_Torque
[20:16] <gordonjcp> Myrtti: installing catdoc does, uh, weird stuff ;-)
[20:16] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Galvatron, what has me concerned is this site http://askubuntu.com/questions/83333/can-unity-be-uninstalled
[20:17] <Galvatron> U-b-u-n-t-u:: Just make sure to set a different shell as your default session
[20:17] <Myrtti> gordonjcp: I'm not surprised.
[20:17] <gordonjcp> Myrtti: it's a text file but it obviously isn't "text enough" for less to stop trying to pass it to catdoc
[20:17] <U-b-u-n-t-u> it says its possible to uninstall some parts of unity that will crash the login etc
[20:17] <copello> Hello, I changed the repository of gnome-shell (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing), now i just can download the gnome-shell3.5.3 but there is no extensions for this version, how do I install gnome-shell3.4 again?
[20:17] <JW__> schnuffle, I saw Torque but that looks like a giant pain in the ass, plus I only have one server, not a network of separate machines.  I was hoping there would be some simpler solution that would be useful on a single SMP server.
[20:17] <gordonjcp> Myrtti: catdoc then does pretty much what you'd expect an overenthusiastic cat to do to something it doesn't recognise, and a short time later a chewed mauled pile of bits emerges
[20:18] <isitme> !repeat > copello
[20:18] <Galvatron> U-b-u-n-t-u: Just look if the system is not trying to uninstall the "lightdm" package (LihghtDM is the login screen).
[20:18] <rrrr> Hello folks!
[20:19] <elspuddy> any one know where the error log file is for gparted ?
[20:19] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Galvatron, ok
[20:19] <IdleOne> copello: did you sudo apt-get update - afther adding the PPA?
[20:19] <Galvatron> !question | rrrr	
[20:19] <JW__> Is it possible to switch from Ubuntu to Xubuntu without having to reformat everything?
[20:19] <IdleOne> after*
[20:19] <U-b-u-n-t-u> thank you ikonia  and Galvatron
[20:19] <bekks> JW__: Sure. "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[20:19] <schnuffle1> JW__: how is a job in your env defined compilation maybe distcc could or is it more sort of compute jobs?
[20:20] <rrrr> I am memTesting a computer and this machine just turns off in the middle of the test. What could be happening?
[20:20] <Galvatron> JW__: "sudo apt-get install xfce4"
[20:20] <JW__> schnuffle, they are compute jobs, using pre-compiled and commercial software
[20:20] <copello> IdleOne:  yes, i tried to remove the repository and install again, but it didn't work.
[20:20] <bekks> rrrr: Power failure, hardware problem.
[20:20] <IdleOne> rrrr: over heating, more help in ##hardware.
[20:20] <gordonjcp> rrrr: overheating?
[20:21] <daoneunv> This is frustrating now.. Still can't get it to work.
[20:21] <IdleOne> copello: are you getting any errors?
[20:21] <daoneunv> I have the gnome-shell-extension installed.. but when I go to advance system settings its not there..
[20:21] <daoneunv> It's asking me to install..
[20:21] <Galvatron> JW__:: The "Xubuntu-desktop" installs XFCE with all the apps, while what I gave you is just the XFCE itself (you can add things later).
[20:21] <rrrr> I don't think it is overheating because the machine don't stay 10 minutes until it turns off.
[20:22] <IdleOne> rrrr: That could very well be a heat issue.
[20:22] <JW__> Galvatron, okay, and if I do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" it will automatically switch over from Gnome to XFCE?
[20:22] <rrrr> but I think I will have a #hardware opinin as well.
[20:22] <JW__> and it will get rid of Unity?
[20:22] <bekks> JW__: No. It will install xubuntu-desktop.
[20:22] <rrrr> IdleOne, ok, how lond it takes to a computer turn off in a heat issue?
[20:22] <copello> IdleOne: not now, because I added the repository again, and installed the gnome-shell but its version is 3.5.3, and I want the 3.4
[20:23] <IdleOne> rrrr: depends how long it takes for it to over heat
[20:23] <Galvatron> JW__: It will install XFCE alongside GNOME
[20:23] <JW__> well I guess I'll try it although I am nervous that it will mess up my system
[20:23] <rrrr> IdleOne, yes, but durring a memTest process the machine will take a while, no?
[20:23] <IdleOne> copello: if you are using the testing repo then you will get the most recent version in that repo. search for a repo with the version you want.
[20:24] <copello> ok, I'll try
[20:24] <IdleOne> rrrr: the memtest can take several hours.
[20:24] <zain> what does LTS mean?
[20:24] <Galvatron> JW__: For starters, just do the "sudo apt-get install xfce4", to get just the XFCE desktop alone
[20:24] <IdleOne> zain: Long Term Support
[20:24] <rrrr> IdleOne, and what could be causing an overheating isssue?
[20:25] <IdleOne> rrrr: ##hardware would be better suited to help with that
[20:25] <zain> IdleOne: thanks!
[20:25] <isitme> rrrr: fan not working, fan clogged with dust, cooler not properly attached to the cpu,...
[20:25] <Galvatron> JW__: Alternatively you might try installing Xubuntu on a different partition
[20:26] <rrrr> Mmmm. ok. Thank you. I will have a look on it.
[20:26] <bluegoon> Hello
[20:26] <daoneunv> I have an Intel Wifi Link 5100 installed.. That's under the chipset wglan.
[20:26] <JW__> Okay well back to the batch scheduling question.  So are my only two options then Torque or Batch/At/Atd?
[20:27] <bluegoon> Is there a room where the various apps of ubuntu is discussed?
[20:27] <daoneunv> However.. when I lspci -v
[20:27] <daoneunv> It tells me that
[20:27] <bluegoon> Like recommendations etc?
[20:27] <daoneunv> Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
[20:27] <daoneunv> 	Kernel modules: iwlwifi
[20:27] <FloodBot1> daoneunv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:27] <daoneunv> This is resulting in very slow
[20:27] <daoneunv> browsing and downloading
[20:27] <daoneunv> How can I fix this?
[20:28] <bluegoon> Dude, you're flooding.
[20:28] <daoneunv> Can someone answer me?
[20:28] <isitme> !enter | daoneunv

[20:33] <xxiao> i need a light-weight editor, lighter than abiword, to do basic font-bold/italic etc, is there a one?
[20:33] <ChandlerBing> I'm having difficulty getting my wireless adapter to connect to my router in lucid lynx
[20:33] <xxiao> not for coding, but if i can highlight syntax that will be good too
[20:34] <ChandlerBing> I was able to get it to connect by running boot-repair and adding acpi=off
[20:34] <xxiao> bold, underline, italic, that's it
[20:34] <ChandlerBing> but then the system froze while downloading security updates
[20:34] <daoneunv> Does anyone know the answer to my question?
[20:34] <ChandlerBing> I've tried redoing boot repair to no avail
[20:35] <jthan> xxiao: if you could skip the bold/italic/underlining you could use vim which supports syntax hilighting. Then you could go back with another editor and do your formatting.
[20:36] <jthan> xxiao: Also, emacs probably provides it out of the box.
[20:36] <jthan> Though some people feel there is a large learning curve associated with it.
[20:37] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: Have you tried other versions/systems?
[20:37] <jthan> daoneunv: PM me with a specific question and I will try to help you. No guarantees.
[20:37] <ChandlerBing> @Galvatron:  I have not
[20:38] <nevezen> what windows tool should I use for writing ubuntu iso's onto usb flash drives?
[20:38] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: Has it started just recently, after some updates?
[20:38] <jthan> nevezen: What version of windows? Windows 7 has functionality built in.
[20:38] <nevezen> win7 does?
[20:39] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: Have there been any kernel updates recently?
[20:39] <jthan> Yes - if you right click the .iso you should be able to select the option. If you are not on windows 7 I like iso recorder
[20:39] <ki4ro> daoneunv: What is your question?
[20:39] <ChandlerBing> I was able to connect after adding acpi=off to the kernal, then it crashed after attempting to d/l security updates
[20:39] <ChandlerBing> and it hasn't worked since
[20:40] <nevezen> I've been using unetbootin but it seems it doesn't work with two ubuntu images I downloaded..
[20:40] <ChandlerBing> It's a new install, I'm wondering if I should just start with a fresh install?
[20:40] <lacrymology> how to install php curl extension?
[20:40] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: To tell the truth, I recommend trying Kubuntu 12.04 (Unity, Compiz and LightDM in Ubuntu 12.04 are anything but stable - in 12.10 maybe)
[20:41] <bekks> lacrymology: apt-get install php5-curl (iirc)
[20:41] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: What's your machine?
[20:41] <xxiao> jthan: i'm a vim-er
[20:41] <jthan> xxiao: Good man :-p (or woman)
[20:41] <xxiao> need write some documents (notes) other than coding
[20:41] <lacrymology> bekks: thanks. And how can I unmark as manually installed a package, do you know?
[20:41] <ChandlerBing> Galv, home-built AMD.  Socket AM2 on an asus mobo
[20:41] <jthan> xxiao: LaTeX?
[20:42] <nevezen> it writes those images fine but upon loading syslinux, it hangs
[20:42] <xxiao> jthan: lynx is the one i'm thinking...latex/lynx are in general heavier
[20:42] <xxiao> maybe just a html editor will cut it, anyway thanks
[20:42] <Galvatron> ChandlerBin: And the GPU?
[20:42] <jthan> xxiao: Lynx is a web browser.
[20:42] <FreeNslaved> its a sad day when someone is considering installing windows cause 12.04 has them flustered and bugged out
[20:42] <trism> jthan: probably means lyx
[20:42] <xxiao> lyx that is, sorry
[20:43] <ChandlerBing> Whatever embedded on the mobo, I think it's nvidia
[20:43] <jthan> Ah, yeah. My bad.
[20:43] <Galvatron> FreeNslaved: It's Cannonical's fault for packing it up with an unstable stuff I mentioned. That's why recommend Kubuntu instead.
[20:44] <trism> xxiao: vim + pandoc is a pretty good combo (write in markdown, compile to whatever), retext seems pretty light too (just browsing through the repo)
[20:44] <Galvatron> FreeNslaved: Compiz 0.9.x should have never maid it to the stable branch in the forst place.
[20:45] <jamin> anyone got time to help debug why partman-auto/method crypto fails claiming there is no physical volume defined in the volume group when the same recipe works fine with partman-auto/method lvm?
[20:45] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: Should be ebough, although gettingg some GT 520/630 will give a hardware video and Flash acceleration
[20:45] <Galvatron> *620
[20:46] <xxiao> trism: the purpose is wysiwyg
[20:46] <xxiao> trying bluefish now
[20:46]  * xxiao wants simple font changes while writing quick tech notes
[20:47] <Galvatron> ChandlerBing: Anyways, try Kubuntu 12.04.
[20:48] <ChandlerBing> ok, thanks, Galv
[20:48] <Galvatron> 	ChandlerBing: KDE 4.8.x it uses is a mature and stable enviroment, just unlike Unity
[20:48] <Galvatron> And it's very powerful, as well as feature-rich
[20:49] <rymate1234> I like unity
[20:49] <rymate1234> I prefer gnome 3
[20:50] <bluegoon> test
[20:52] <LNikon> exit
[20:52] <Galvatron> rymate1234: I would love to u be able to use Unity - I'm a big fan of the Apple-styled interfaces -  but it has too many issues.
[20:52] <rymate1234> ...like?
[20:53] <IdleOne> Galvatron: can you take this conversation to #ubuntu-discuss please. Not really support related
[20:53] <bk_> hi everyone
[20:53] <Galvatron> The stability of Compiz, broken "Scale" for all desktops and some other.
[20:53] <Galvatron> IdleOne: OK
[20:53] <IdleOne> Thank you.
[20:55] <thys> hi
[20:55] <jthan> thys: Hey
[20:55] <thys> I keep losing my connection though SSH on my ubuntu server. It works fine while I use it then it freezes and I have to eject it and log in again. How do I find the keep-alive settings?
[20:56] <jthan> thys: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/keep-your-linux-ssh-session-from-disconnecting/
[20:56] <mongy> Galvatron, there is a ppa to fix the scale bug.  Have they not fixed that yet?  It's quite an old bug now.
[20:58] <bluegoon> How do I upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04?
[20:59] <IdleOne> bluegoon: sudo do-release-upgrade

[20:59] <bluegoon> THank you
[21:00] <jthan> |Long|: Press escape when you see GRUB is loading
[21:00] <jthan> Then there will be a line to select recovery mode
[21:00] <|Long|> jthan, thanks
[21:00] <jthan> Anytime.
[21:00] <alankila> funny UI fail on that equalizer, the labels for sliders are all crammed together
[21:01] <jthan> |Long|: depending upon your system you may have to hold the left shift instead of pressing escape.
[21:01] <Galvatron> mongy: No, but now Compiz at least works with KDE
[21:02] <Galvatron> mongy: At least the version from the "Proposed" repo
[21:02] <Galvatron> mongy:  Do you maybe know this PPA?
[21:03] <mongy> lemme see
[21:03] <zykotick9> jthan: |Long| fyi it's shift with grub2
[21:03] <jthan> zykotick9: I should know that :-x
[21:03] <mongy> Galvatron, https://launchpad.net/~bsantos/+archive/ppa
[21:05] <Galvatron> Great
[21:05] <Galvatron> Compiz + KDE again :D

[21:12] <Platypus-Man> can I use hdd's bigger than 1 TB (4K sector drives) out of the box, or do I need to realign them? I am going to use the drives for storage, when I googled I only found forum threads talking about issues with booting from them
[21:13] <Vic_> Hi, I need some help :). Windows crashed today with a reg error and wont start anymore...and now I want to recover the data from my hds...so I created an ubuntu boot disk. The problem is that the two hds are in raid-0, and I cant get the disks mounted in ubuntu
[21:14] <mblack72> install linux :)
[21:14] <Vic_> yes, I have linux installed, the problem is that I need the data from these two disks in raid 0
[21:14] <ikonia> Vic_: the windows recovery CD would be better suited
[21:14] <Vic_> I dont run linux on that particular machine, because the software I use there is not supported in linux
[21:14] <ikonia> Vic_: you can load the fake raid controller drivers into the environment
[21:14] <Vic_> I tried, but I get this error:
[21:15] <nannes>  /google mount raid hdd ubuntu
[21:15] <nannes>  /google mount raid hdd ubuntu
[21:15] <nannes> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[21:15] <FloodBot1> nannes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:15] <ikonia> nannes: please stop that
[21:15] <ikonia> nannes: fake raid is not straight forward.
[21:15] <Vic_> wrong # of devices in RAID set "JMicron_GRAID"
[21:15] <ikonia> Vic_: it would appear you have corruption, in which case, your data is gone
[21:15] <Vic_> the disks are still fine as far as I can tell
[21:15] <ikonia> Vic_: is it possible one of the drives has died
[21:15] <Vic_> ran self-test on them
[21:16] <ikonia> Vic_: it certainly sounds like one has died, or at least become corrupted
[21:16] <Church> Vic_ : your raid0 was software raid created with md, or with some raid adapter?
[21:16] <ikonia> Church: it's fake raid controller in windows,
[21:16] <ikonia> he's trying to recover the data
[21:16] <ikonia> you'll find that if the Windows recovery environment with supported driver isn't working, you're out of luck
[21:16] <Vic_> can the disk still be corrupt/damaged if self-test succeeds?
[21:17] <ikonia> Vic_: sure, the file system is different from physical drive
[21:17] <Vic_> yeah, I am starting to fear it might be unrecoverable...really wished I did not use raid now, but the machine is quite old...was popular back then :(
[21:17] <ikonia> Vic_: the guys in ##windows may have some tricks
[21:18] <Vic_> thanks ikonia
[21:18] <Datastream111> Hey noob question here. I've just installed/in the process of installing ubuntu on my single coore 2.4ghz comp and it shows me the desktop, but the loading icon is spinning. Has it fully installed or is it doing everything in the background? I can poke around all the files and such, its just the loading icon is still spinning so I'm unsure what it's doing.
[21:18] <Church> Vic_: i'm guessing, that linux now sees those drives as separate ones. you can try getting linux drivers for that fakeride, and hope that their ondisk format is same as created/used with windows driver, but best bet would be to attach card and disks to some windows box and transfer/backup elsewhere data, be it normal disks or over network
[21:18] <Church> s/fakeride/fakeraid/
[21:18] <ikonia> Datastream111: if it's spinning, it's doing something, probably swapping out the cd
[21:19] <Datastream111> ikonia: oks thanks. That's all I really needed to know haha
[21:21] <Vukk> hey masters! The newest ubuntu release support fully Lenovo y580 or i wait some months?
[21:21] <poseidon> anyone here know why go syntax hilighting would be working with vim on ubuntu?
[21:21] <poseidon> I had my friend put the go.vim in ~/.vim/syntax
[21:21] <poseidon> and then :filetype on and :syntax on
[21:21] <ikonia> Vukk: hardware support for a device won't change
[21:21] <poseidon> but it doesn't seem to owrk
[21:21] <Vic_> Church: I am not sure anymore, it is a while back, but it is on a gigabyte motherboard..As far as I can tell/remember I setup the raid in a control screen before windows starts. I can still access that screen. But I fear that any changes I make there will result in a loss of data.
[21:21] <ikonia> Vic_: wise
[21:22] <hid> Hi all. I'm on ubuntu 12 (laptop) and I can't change brightness configuration, contrast... how can I do ? My eyes'll thank you
[21:22] <zykotick9> poseidon: (just a guess) but have you installed the real vim (or are you using the default vim-tiny)?
[21:22] <Vukk> Thx Ikonika!
[21:22] <poseidon> zykotick9: he installed vim
[21:23] <zykotick9> poseidon: ok - just checking (i hate vim-tiny).  sorry i have no real suggestions.
[21:23] <poseidon> np
[21:23] <Vic_> ikonia: I did try the windows recovery process, but it is not recognizing the HDs, so I probably need to find the specific drivers somewhere. Thought I would give ubuntu a shot, because it gives more control in these situations
[21:23] <poseidon> for some reasons if I drop in my .Xdefaults and .vim + .vimrc, nothing really changes as far as color in his terminal
[21:24] <ikonia> Vic_: it gives no more/less control than Windows
[21:24] <elspuddy> question, is there an easy way of transfering all of my stuff from one unbuntu box to another ?
[21:24] <ikonia> Vic_: if anything it's more risky, using a zero supported reverse engineer driver, on a reverse engeineered file system, rather than a fully supported OS with supported signed controller driver and native file system
[21:24] <zykotick9> poseidon: i always need to use the filename .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME
[21:25] <Vic_> ikonia: I did use this command : sudo mdadm --build /dev/md0 --chunk=64 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sdc
[21:25] <ikonia> Vic_: no non nono
[21:25] <ikonia> Vic_: please don't tell me you've run that
[21:25] <poseidon> zykotick9: that is weird.....
[21:25] <Vic_> ikonia : I did, did I kill it with that?
[21:25] <ikonia> Vic_: yes, totally
[21:25] <ikonia> Vic_: you've just created a new software raid array
[21:25] <ikonia> that's a linux only software raid array
[21:26] <Dan-mc> hey is there a way to get my windows hdd to access my ubuntu hdd to pull some data or am i going to have to restart into ubuntu
[21:26] <Vic_> hmmm, dont think it is linux only. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833653&highlight=dynamic+disk
[21:27] <ikonia> Dan-mc: the windows ext file system drivers, are unstable
[21:27] <ikonia> Vic_: mdadm IS linux only

[21:33] <ben64-droidy> just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, cant login now. i type user and password, the screen blanks, and a couple seconds later i am shown the login screen again
[21:37] <drag0nius> how do i configure dhcp server on 12.04?
[21:37] <drag0nius> not a single tutorial i found fits
[21:37] <Sebboh> How can I change the console resolution in lucid at runtime?
[21:38] <kristenb> hi. I have a question regarding iptables. If I intercept a IP packet in prerouting, and then for all intercepted packets, I create a raw packet destined to myself (my ip address), will it be intercepted again ?
[21:40] <jthan> drag0nius: dhcpcd <interface>?
[21:41] <victor__> holaaaaaaa
[21:42] <marwoltuk> Hi, does someone know how to configure grub2?
[21:42] <elspuddy> any one know how i can change permitins on a drive, i.e root owns the drive but i want my user to have access to it
[21:42] <ben64-droidy> just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, cant login now. i type user and password, the screen blanks, and a couple seconds later i am shown the login screen again
[21:42] <zykotick9> marwoltuk: see /etc/default/grub for most options
[21:43] <ben64-droidy> and my network card is not working -- rtl8111/8168b
[21:43] <zykotick9> marwoltuk: not forget "sudo update-grub" to apply any changes
[21:43] <marwoltuk> I just installed another linux installation on an extended partition and the only thing i want to do is to make it boot from the grub inside the ubuntu on a primary partition...
[21:44] <zykotick9> marwoltuk: just "sudo update-grub" might do that
[21:45] <drag0nius> what should i set on domain-name and domain-name-servers (some real-life example) in dhcpd.conf?
[21:46] <drag0nius> hmm how do i paste stuff in Putty? i had it under right click mouse, but now it's visual mode in vim on right click
[21:47] <Sebboh> drag0nius, depends on the details of your network, but for a home network, local is a good domain name.  for domain-name-servers, for a home network, you can set it to the same IP address(es) listed in /etc/resolv.conf on a computer that can currently access the internet normally.
[21:48] <marwoltuk> zykotick9: thanx, it did it's job. didn't expectet that. seems im still used to grub1.
[21:48] <Sebboh> drag0nius, PuTTY has configuration options for that...  But, try middle click, and when the running console application changes paste behavior, use shift to counteract that.
[21:48] <ben64-droidy> just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, cant login now. i type user and password, the screen blanks, and a couple seconds later i am shown the login screen again
[21:48] <ben64-droidy> and my network card is not working -- rtl8111/8168b
[21:49] <drag0nius> Sebboh: so basically i set up DNSes to google? :)
[21:50] <tdhz77> It takes my keyboard and mouse about 30 seconds to start working after kernel update 3.x.25? Does anybody know any information on this?
[21:55] <drag0nius> and how do i copy from vim with putty?
[21:56] <drag0nius> yanking/selecting etc gets just topmost line
[22:00] <ajeffri> drag0nius: to select lines in vim, use the yy command on the line you want to yank. To yank two lines, use 2yy, 3 lines 3yy, etc. To paste, use p to paste below the current line and P to paste above. This works in any terminal emulator.
[22:00] <drag0nius> yeah but it does not get to clipboard outside Putty
[22:01] <ajeffri> oh
[22:01] <ajeffri> sorry
[22:01] <gr33n7007h> what is the bluetooth channel
[22:02] <ajeffri> In the past, I've just click&dragged the text I wanted. Putty will automatically copy it to the clipboard, at least under windows. Not sure what the Linux version does.
[22:02] <drag0nius> ye, but this one does not work inside vim ;)
[22:03] <drag0nius> outside its perfectly fine
[22:03] <ajeffri> And then pasting happens with right-click
[22:03] <ajeffri> ok...not sure why you are having a problem. I've copied and pasted to and from VI/vim sessions before in putty.
[22:04] <ajeffri> wish I could help you
[22:04] <drag0nius> right click does not work for me with pasting
[22:04] <drag0nius> have to use middle
[22:04] <meisth0th> hello, is there anybody has experience with python gi.repository.Gio.File ?
[22:04] <trism> drag0nius: seems "*yy works (likewise 2"*yy, etc), then you can middle click it
[22:04] <drag0nius> idk what i did that it stopped
[22:05] <ajeffri> hmmmm...dunno. that's a puzzler.
[22:05] <drag0nius> how do i start eth1 if its not running already?
[22:05] <ajeffri> ifup eth1
[22:11] <AaronMT> !hedgy
[22:12] <drag0nius> http://pastebin.com/yWYhv7iy whats wrong with line 2? i get "semicolon expected" error when starting dhcpd
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> somehow i think my name servers are messed up.  wget: unable to resolve host address `rubyenterpriseedition.googlecode.com' ... and "host cnn.com" => ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ... how would i fix this ?  ubuntu 10.04 lts
[22:14] <o0o0> a config file that gets overwritten is /etc/resolv.conf
[22:15] <arooni-mobile> o0o0, yes i know resolv.conf is overwritten
[22:15] <drag0nius> Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1. what the heck?
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> drag0nius  look in /etc/network/interfaces   see if eth1 is there
[22:17] <drag0nius> nope
[22:17] <drag0nius> what to put there if i want use wlan0 and eth1 for DHCP server?
[22:17] <drag0nius> i quite dont get htat iface part
[22:19] <MonkeyDust> drag0nius  this is not it, but look at this to get an idea http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man5/vlan-interfaces.5.html
[22:22] <ignacio> hopla

[22:24] <ignacio> ubuntu-es is bad...
[22:24] <ignacio> :(
[22:24] <BlouBlou> ignacio: I agree
[22:24] <BlouBlou> ignacio: you can submit a bug by using launchpad
[22:24] <BlouBlou> but check if that bug exists before doing it
[22:25] <OerHeks> ignacio, you may file a bug for nvidia-96. but i think that reporting about a closed source driver is useless.
[22:25] <drag0nius> the thing is there are dhcp clients setups everywhere, none is labeled "use this to setup DHCP Server on ethN"
[22:25] <drag0nius> eveyrthing "use this to setup as dhcp client"
[22:25] <BlouBlou> ignacio: if that driver works bad for you, use nouveau drivers
[22:25] <Somelauw> Does anyone else notice that in evince after a while shortcuts stop working?
[22:25] <ignacio> :(
[22:25] <BlouBlou> !nouveau | ignacio

[22:32] <OerHeks> ignacio if your bug is nvidia-96 is not installing, that is correct, it does not support xorg 1.10 and up
[22:34] <drag0nius> basically i have 100 mb/s card for WAN and wanna use 1 gbit card + wlan card for lan
[22:40] <Somelauw> Well, I think I'll switch back to zathura.
[22:44] <drag0nius> is there anything against running few putty terminals connected to same user on same server? ;d

[22:50] <OerHeks> V3NG3NC3678, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:50] <profiler1982> or is anythere somewhat app to imitate  the HUD in gnome shell
[22:50] <L3top> V3NG3NC3678: that isnt how ubuntu support works. You either have a support question, or answer. Modding HW is not an acceptable troll
[22:50] <lrh9> I want to use my Netgear WNA3100 with Ubuntu 64-bit using NDISwrapper. I am reading the NDISwrapper page for my specific device, and it only has a link to download the 32-bit driver (bcmwlhigh5).

[22:53] <ufrgs> llo folks!
[22:53] <s12a> hello. I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a pc with an amd 2.6 ghz dual core processor, nvidia nforce 430 integrated graphics, 3GB ram, 64 GB samsung ssd. the interface (unity) feels kind of laggy, unresponsive. is there some tweak to make it more enjoyable to use?
[22:53] <V3NG3NC3678> Let me tell you something,... I spent years tracking down components to use Linux-ubuntu only to find that if it's not one thing or another. I have repedetly asked for help when no one could and I finally made a product I am helpign others with how is that wrong? Personally I don't thing most of the people who use ubuntu know even what chipsets to use. I prollyknow more then you, so I am trying to offer assistance to everyone that
[22:53] <V3NG3NC3678> wants to use ubuntu. SO,... what part of ubuntu "spoort" does that not fall under
[22:53] <V3NG3NC3678> ?
[22:53] <ufrgs> Hello folks!
[22:53] <subz3r0> akem, hes talking about the "rescue-disk"
[22:53] <MoPac> akem: With Truecrypt, you can make a Rescue .iso file that will boot your encrypted filesystem if your loader gets fucked
[22:53] <ufrgs> How do I resume a Stopped process at Terminal please?
[22:53] <abimael> s12a: Update kernel, install preload, update & upgrade system in terminal
[22:54] <s12a> abimael: already running the latest updates
[22:54] <IdleOne> MoPac: no cursing please
[22:54] <MoPac> IdleOne: Sorry
[22:54] <abimael> s12a: and run Bleachbit, make sure you have proprietary drivers installed too, in settings
[22:54] <V3NG3NC3678> YOu tell me what chipset are most functional and I'll stop,.. other wise I consider what I have to offer an open source addittion as it states on my cd from MARK that I can mod this anyway I choose
[22:54] <s12a> abimael: proprietary drivers installed as well
[22:54] <ufrgs> got it. thank you.
[22:54] <s12a> I'll check this bleachbit
[22:54] <akem> MoPac, ha ok "backup volume header" i guess, didn't know about it.
[22:55] <abimael> s12a: you got the 3.4 kernel?
[22:55] <s12a> abimael: not sure, let me check
[22:55] <MoPac> akem: Any equivalent for the full-disk solution that comes with the Ubuntu alternate install?
[22:56] <OerHeks> !hardware > V3NG3NC3678
[22:56] <n1ckn4me09876543> anybody know a program like Bing Desktop ? I'd like my wallpaper to change everyday
[22:56] <abimael> s12a: try switching between unity and unity 2d, as well, and if all else fails, try Gnome or Cinnamon, but with the updated kernel, you honestly should be fine, my specs are lower than yours and my 12.04 runs fine
[22:57] <WMan> http://xptk.phpyjs.com/ntk.zip
[22:57] <s12a> abimael: I'm running 3.2.0
[22:57] <akem> MoPac, i don't know
[22:57] <s12a> abimael: tried that too, no change
[22:57] <goddard> n1ckn4me09876543: probably just a shell script and a cron job could do it
[22:57] <goddard> n1ckn4me09876543: that is if you have a reliable photo source
[22:58] <MoPac> akem: subz3r0: L3top: I'm also interested in knowing how to modify other settings, change the volume password, etc. - not sure where to go from within the os
[22:58] <s12a> abimael: it's not that it doesn't run fine. I'd say that performance is acceptable. however I previously had windows 7 on this pc and the gui felt more responsive
[22:58] <abimael> s12a: go to google and type ppa kernel, scroll down to v3.4-precise/, and then download all the files that end in AMD
[22:58] <s12a> there's some kind of lag every time I click something
[22:58] <goddard> s12a: in Unity?
[22:58] <s12a> it's small (a few fractions of seconds), but can be felt
[22:58] <s12a> unity, yes
[22:58] <s12a> abimael: I'll try that
[22:59] <subz3r0> MoPac, changing the pass is easy... but i would recommend to make a second pass. check if it works and then delete the old one :)
[22:59] <goddard> s12a: try tweaking the settings
[22:59] <abimael> s12a: and the linux headers all deb
[22:59] <goddard> s12a: some of those "fade ins" I actually turn off
[22:59] <MoPac> subz3r0: Where do I change teh pass?
[22:59] <abimael> s12a: once you have them in your downloads, go to terminal type sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb and then go to synaptic, type in linux kernel and linux headers and uninstall 3.2 kernel files, then reboot and you should be good
[23:00] <s12a> goddard: the settings menu is quite limited, do I have to download something to tweak them?
[23:00] <MK13> What would cause iptables-save to not produce the options for entries that use --contrack?
[23:00] <s12a> abimael: I'll check that out, but does a kernel update really change speed that much?
[23:00] <subz3r0> MoPac, sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX2
[23:01] <subz3r0> and sudo cryptsetup luksDelKey /dev/sdX2 1
[23:01] <abimael> s12a: yes because it fixes bugs and patches and stuff like that, so yes an updated kernel can have profound affects bcuz it makes everything run
[23:01] <subz3r0> be aware.... add a new one, test if it works. then delete  the old key
[23:01] <drag0nius> hmm
[23:01] <zykotick9> s12a: i wouldn't personally install a new kernel, unless i needed hardware support it added (i kinda you're being lead astray)
[23:01] <phaba> is there a good website to get the basics on ubuntu security, like basic Anti-virus and firewall software?
[23:02] <L3top>  MoPac: alsamixer        passwd mopac thisismopacsnewpasswerd
[23:02] <drag0nius> anyone good with dhcp/net interfaces? I found some working config, but i have totally no idea how the heck does it work
[23:02] <zykotick9> !virus | phaba
[23:02] <abimael> zykotick9: what do you think?
[23:03] <Muelli> well phaba, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security might be helpful.
[23:03] <phaba> zykotick9, you telling me there are 0 viruses? what about trojans or be used in a botnet with some exploit embedded program etc
[23:03] <phaba> i just wanna see some security software
[23:03] <phaba> cheers Muelli
[23:03] <MoPac> subz3r0: Aha I've found the answer thanks to hearing the program is called cryptsetup.  In the main options menu of cryptsetup in the terminal, there is action --head-er-backup-file=STRING
[23:03] <s12a> zykotick9: I doubt too that updating the kernel would make the gui more responsive, I'm not an expert but not a total linux newbie either
[23:04] <s12a> it's not that I have strange hardware either
[23:04] <subz3r0> MoPac, never experienced with this, as I do normaly i complete backup with DD (clone the disk)
[23:04] <s12a> ok maybe the integrated graphics is a bit old, but shouldn't be that bad
[23:04] <zykotick9> s12a: installing a kernel from outside ubuntu repo seems additionally dangerous to me.  (fyi you can see "/msg ubottu kernel" for some details if you decide to do it)
[23:06] <zykotick9> s12a: but perhaps you should be taking any kernel advice from someone running 2.6.32 ;)  best of luck - i'm away.
[23:06] <zykotick9> s/should/shouldn't/
[23:06] <abimael> zykotick9: the kernel is from ubuntu server, what are you talking about?
[23:07] <zykotick9> abimael: that's still "outside repo" - it's a matter of opinion, cutting edge isn't always the best place to be :)
[23:08] <abimael> oh  ok, i get what you mean, so what do you think? i mean ive got lower specs and im running fine
[23:08] <s12a> abimael: what about your video card?
[23:08] <s12a> or igp
[23:08] <PapaSierra> how does this happen http://dpaste.com/767494/
[23:10] <TheM4ch1n3> PapaSierra: because the package management system was made by total "geeks" !
[23:10] <Muelli> PapaSierra: hm. well, why do you want to install that very version? What does apt-cache policy say to those two packages?
[23:11] <PapaSierra> Muelli the problem is i'm not sure about this stuff. i'm basically using chef to install some recipes made by other people. so in this case i'm installing: https://github.com/phlipper/chef-percona
[23:11] <lrh9> I'm going to do partitioning. I want to set up a multi-boot system for Linux-based systems only. How large should my swap partition be? I have 4 gigabytes of RAM. What file system should I use?
[23:12] <s12a> by the way, the linux pc I'm talking about is a different pc than what I'm using to write here
[23:12] <s12a> it's a testing system
[23:12] <Muelli> PapaSierra: *shrug* So you left Ubuntu territory, right? No idea how to handle that. But the apt-cache policy might get you some information.
[23:13] <PapaSierra> Muelli i have a fresh ubuntu12 install. all i can think is that i did follow these instructions: http://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/ could that have messed up what percona is looking for?
[23:13] <s12a> I guess I could bear a broken installation
[23:14] <abimael> hmmm, im not sure
[23:14] <webnet> hi all having an issue installing ubuntu server 12.04. it is being installed via a usb drive via unetbootin and it reaches the detect and mount CD-ROM step and fails sayimg it couldnt be mounted. is there a way to tell it to look for usb drives instwad from one of the other terminals?
[23:14] <Muelli> PapaSierra:  uh. ouch. You added a third (non Ubuntu) parties repository to your system. Usually not a very good idea.
[23:14] <PapaSierra> Muelli i see what you mean: http://dpaste.com/767495/
[23:14] <Muelli> PapaSierra: do apt-cache policy $package, where $package are the two packages, that are conflicting.
[23:15] <PapaSierra> Muelli ok, that was a work around because ubuntu is stuck at php 5.3.10 and i need 5.4. do you think that's what's done it?
[23:15] <PapaSierra> how can i tell which two are conflicting?
[23:15] <daoneunv> quick question.. where do I put icons? so that I can use them in advance settings?
[23:15] <Anxi80> My laptop screen brightness goes from not barely visible to a little less very visible except the last step goes nuclear. How can I normalize this range more?
[23:16] <Muelli> PapaSierra: apt-cache policy percona-server-server, and apt-cache policy percona-server-server-5.5
[23:16] <icecube45> Okay guys, i need some help... Im trying to play a flassh mmo game, realm of the mad god, but upon connecting i get an error, this is apparently caused by a firewall or by the system clock being wrong, is there something that is blocking flash?
[23:16] <webnet> anyone seen this issue before?
[23:16] <s12a> ok. I installed CompizConfig. I'm overwhelmed by the options. What can I safely do to improve GUI performance?
[23:16] <daoneunv> s12a: what DE are you using?
[23:16] <s12a> unity
[23:17] <daoneunv> s12a: they're all safe and if they're is a risk it will prompt you.
[23:17] <PapaSierra> Muelli thanks for you hints! http://dpaste.com/767497/
[23:17] <s12a> ok let's see
[23:17] <icecube45> Anyone?
[23:18] <Muelli> PapaSierra: eh. give us apt-cache show on both packages, for completeness.
[23:19] <fosser_josh> hi i am currently windows user i wanted to switch to ubuntu linux. But i wanted to know how ubuntu linux is better than windows?
[23:19] <Muelli> PapaSierra: anyway, I think you can just go ahead and apt-get install percona-server-server, without forcing it to be that very version that it tries to force it to be.
[23:19] <goddard> fosser_josh: how isn't it?
[23:19] <icecube45> !poll | fosser_josh
[23:20] <Muelli> fosser_josh: it's free as in speech.
[23:20] <PapaSierra> Muelli http://dpaste.com/767498/
[23:20] <icecube45> Can anyonehelp me? its kinda urgent
[23:20] <Muelli> !anyone | icecube45
[23:20] <goddard> fosser_josh: people use ubuntu for several reason and i think the biggest is the freedom you get
[23:21] <icecube45> Muelli: scroll up
[23:21] <Muelli> icecube45: not gonna happen
[23:21] <alazare619> im in need of assistance from someone hwo has built ubuntu from scratch with live-build using debootstrap scripts that live-build package has
[23:21] <icecube45> Okay guys, i need some help... Im trying to play a flassh mmo game, realm of the mad god, but upon connecting i get an error, this is apparently caused by a firewall or by the system clock being wrong, is there something that is blocking flash?
[23:21] <Muelli> PapaSierra: well, dunno, just do "apt-get install percona-server-server". It should work.
[23:21] <timothyjr> this may be a very basic question, but how do i execute a .jar file in ubuntu?
[23:21] <PapaSierra> ok Muelli will try...
[23:21] <icecube45> Muelli: pasted again
[23:21] <Muelli> timothyjr: java -jar $yourjarfile
[23:22] <gordonjcp> timothyjr: something like "java -jar <thing>"
[23:22] <timothyjr> I do that every time I wish to run it?
[23:22] <goddard> timothyjr: right click and select the open jdk as the program to use to execute
[23:22] <gordonjcp> icecube45: not unless you've installed something that blocks flash
[23:22] <icecube45> i dont think so
[23:22] <icecube45> anything native?
[23:22] <goddard> timothyjr: you can also make that the default program to use
[23:22] <icecube45> it isnt just flash gordonjcp
[23:22] <PapaSierra> Muelli: percona-server-server : Depends: percona-server-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed
[23:23] <icecube45> it seems alot of my connections are blocked, gordonjcp
[23:23] <gordonjcp> icecube45: seems to work here
[23:23] <gordonjcp> icecube45: which browser?
[23:23] <Muelli> well PapaSierra. weird. Then do apt-get install percona-server-server{,-5.5}
[23:23] <icecube45> gordonjcp: firefox
[23:23] <icecube45> gordonjcp: should i try a different one?
[23:24] <gordonjcp> nope, I'm using firefox here, seems to work
[23:24] <PapaSierra> Muelli percona-server-server-5.5 : Depends: percona-server-client-5.5 (>= 5.5.24-rel26.0-256.precise) but it is not going to be installed
[23:24] <timothyjr> I get a message that the file is not marked as executable
[23:24] <timothyjr> even opening it with open jdk
[23:24] <goddard> timothyjr: change permissions
[23:24] <goddard> right click
[23:24] <Muelli> well, okay. Two options. Either go down the road and manually install all those by adding them to your apt-get install command, or try to use aptitude, i.e. aptitude install percona-server
[23:24] <goddard> properties
[23:25] <gordonjcp> icecube45: do other flash things work?
[23:25] <gordonjcp> icecube45: what exactly is the error you get?
[23:25] <MK13> What would cause iptables-save to not produce the options for entries that use --contrack?
[23:25] <Muelli> MK13: a bug would cause that.
[23:25] <goddard> timothyjr: alternatively you can also sudo chmod +x filename
[23:25] <MK13> Muelli, any known bugs for that? I can't find anything for it
[23:25] <Muelli> well goddard. Seems pretty unreasonable to me to require +x on a jar file in order to make the Java VM load it.
[23:25] <timothyjr> ah, that worked.  Thanks, goddard
[23:25] <icecube45> gordonjcp: i get security error 4016 or soemthing like that
[23:25] <Muelli> MK13: no idea.
[23:26] <goddard> Muelli: haha ok
[23:26] <icecube45> gordonjcp: i read what causes it, something is blocking it
[23:26] <timothyjr> Learning my way around linus has been a humbling experience, to say the least.
[23:26] <goddard> timothyjr: yep
[23:26] <timothyjr> linus=linux
[23:26] <PapaSierra> Muelli, that's weird, using aptitude: No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 64 not upgraded.
[23:26] <alazare619> im in need of assistance from someone hwo has built ubuntu from scratch with live-build using debootstrap scripts that live-build package has [23:26] <gordonjcp> icecube45: <shrug> some sort of local web filtering?
[23:26] <Muelli> PapaSierra: that's weird indeed. What's your exact command?
[23:26] <drag0nius> how do i turn off dhcpd?
[23:26] <goddard> timothyjr: it gets better and funner
[23:27] <PapaSierra> aptitude install percona-server
[23:27] <Muelli> PapaSierra: well, maybe that *is* installed. Try percona-server-server
[23:27] <PapaSierra> oh now: aptitude install percona-server-server is going something
[23:27] <icecube45> gordonjcp: where can i check?
[23:28] <PapaSierra> Muelli http://dpaste.com/767511/
[23:28] <timothyjr> have any links to any good ubuntu tutorials?
[23:28] <timothyjr> Iḿ recovering Windows user, and really don´t know my way around linux
[23:28] <goddard> timothyjr: better to just tackle stuff as you run into it... and bing / google / duckduckgo are your friends
[23:29] <timothyjr> :-)
[23:29] <lrh9> I'm preparing to migrate soon.
[23:29] <Muelli> well PapaSierra. There seems to be a conflicting mysqld installed... You better remove that.
[23:29] <Muelli> I think.
[23:29] <PapaSierra> timothyjr: rm /* -Rf is all you really need ;)
[23:30] <timothyjr> duckduckgo is a new one to me
[23:30] <PapaSierra> Muelli i didn't install it. so the chef recipe must have
[23:30] <Anxi80> my digital sound out is turning on by itself all the time. Not using any sound apps.
[23:30] <goddard> timothyjr: its become more populare for privacy reasons
[23:30] <Muelli> PapaSierra: *shrug* You have it black on white. It's offending.
[23:31] <dj_segfault> Hi.  My system was running fine, but I just hooked up an external hard drive (that connected fine earlier today) and my Ubuntu 10.04 system isn't trying to mount it.  Nothing in /var/log/messages.  I also tried a second external hard drive.  And the hard drive's light is on.  Is there a service I can restart that's supposed to listen for USB device insertions?
[23:31] <PapaSierra> and yes, mysql-common but 5.5.25-1~dotdeb.0 is installed is weird that it's coming from dotdeb. i reckon that debian squeeze repo is screwing things up
[23:31] <Muelli> PapaSierra: you can probably press "n" long enough until aptitude asks you to remove mysql and install the percona thing.
[23:31] <goddard> timothyjr: i like bing because they give me money to use it well amazon gift cards
[23:31] <s12a> some desktop effects like "blur windows" really slow down gui performance on my pc
[23:33] <PapaSierra> Muelli ok, in my naivity i think i understand: percona added an apt repo of its own to apt. it installed mysql and expected a particular version, however apt went off to the dotdeb repo thinking it can get a newer version, now percona can't find it's dependency
[23:34] <kristenbcg> hi
[23:34] <kristenbcg> If I intercept all packets in input, and send their content through a raw socket destined to myself, will they be intercepted again ? What about output/prerouting/postrouting ?
[23:34] <alazare619> im in need of assistance from someone hwo has built ubuntu from scratch with live-build using debootstrap scripts that live-build package has [23:36] <PapaSierra> Muelli downgrading mysql allowed percona to be installed! the server is now a mess so i'll wipe it and start over but at least now i understand. thanks so much for your invaluable hints and ideas
[23:36] <Muelli> PapaSierra: :) you're welcome.
[23:36] <Muelli> !anyone | alazare619
[23:37] <timothyjr> Any recommendations for security software?  I use Trend Micro on my windows machine
[23:38] <usr13> well put, uborru
[23:38] <alazare619> because unless you have knowledge of live-build your of no use its not a ubuntu specific question now !stop being a dick please and thank you !muelli
[23:38] <usr13> !virus | timothyjr
[23:39] <Muelli> haha, that was a good one.
[23:39] <timothyjr> thanks ubottu
[23:39] <timothyjr> is a firewall necessary then?
[23:39] <usr13> Muelli: What...?
[23:39] <usr13> timothyjr: Not really, no
[23:39] <timothyjr> or spyware/malware protection?
[23:39] <usr13> timothyjr: Not needed
[23:40] <usr13> timothyjr: Welcome to Linux  :)
[23:40] <foreWORX> yes a firewall is necessary, and so is spyware protection
[23:40] <timothyjr> I know, right?  This is blowing my mind
[23:40] <usr13> foreWORX: Well yes, for MS Windows computers, but not for Ubuntu.
[23:40] <foreWORX> sigh...
[23:40] <foreWORX> for all computers
[23:41] <usr13> sigh...   Thanks for your opinion.
[23:41] <usr13> but....
[23:41] <timothyjr> bbl, time to grill the hotdogs
[23:41] <foreWORX> but what ?
[23:41] <sinussss> is 12.04 good?
[23:41] <usr13> foreWORX: you are wrong.
[23:42] <foreWORX> usr13, how am I wrong
[23:42] <ulugbek> i used to use an application that would allow me to have a (local)user's gnome session windowed inside an existing session? can anyone point me to right right keyword for apt-cache search?
[23:42] <foreWORX> you do know that linux is exploitable, as is everything
[23:42] <usr13> It's not needed.  That's all there is to it.
[23:42] <Muelli> simple. You are trying to protect your system by adding more complexity. Instead, you should make it simpler. Dead easy.
[23:43] <Muelli> snake oil is a common synonym for i.e. firewalls ;-)
[23:43] <gordonjcp> Muelli: Antoine de Saint-Exupery - "Perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away"
[23:44] <Muelli> I whole heartedly agree.
[23:45] <L3top> Firewall is a bad example... though in general I agree.
[23:45] <gordonjcp> the problem is that "firewall" has become misused
[23:45] <gordonjcp> a firewall must be a separate box, interposed between your demarc to the wider internet and your internal network
[23:45] <gordonjcp> you cannot have a firewall on a desktop PC
[23:46] <Vertigo_>  hak5.secfo.org
[23:46] <Dayofswords> gordonjcp: cannot, or shouldn't?
[23:46] <gordonjcp> Dayofswords: cannot
[23:46] <gordonjcp> it's utterly ineffective
[23:48] <L3top> I will not go so far as to say utterly, but you are correct. However, it is a fundamental security requirement... regardless of its "complexity". I believe this discussion belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:49] <ulugbek> anyone have any idea what the package i am looking for may be called?
[23:49] <sweeper> you have NAT. you need no firewall. end of story \o
[23:49] <danub> i get a GConf-Warning when trying to reset unity
[23:49] <danub> where can i get help putting this back to default?
[23:49] <L3top> That would require a bit more detail ulugbek
[23:49] <blackshirt> what the problems'?
[23:50] <L3top> sweeper: no.
[23:50] <danub> sweeper did you just say that?
[23:50] <danub> nevermind he left
[23:50] <danub> lol
[23:50] <ulugbek> L3top: understood, I just didn't want to flood with the description yet again
[23:51] <L3top> Just put your issue on one line ulugbek
[23:51] <danub> i get an error NameError: global name 'GError' is not defined
[23:51] <danub> when trying to do unity --reset
[23:51] <ulugbek> L3top: I am trying to find the package that allows one to have a gnome session 'inside' another gnome session
[23:55] <danub> how do i fix unity --reset?
[23:55] <blackshirt> Ulugbek, what you mean with inside?
[23:56] <danub> what is this new error "ignoring unknown parameter "encrypt password" message that keeps popping up now?
[23:56] <ulugbek> blackshirt: an instance 'windowed' within a running gnome session
[23:57] <blackshirt> ulugbek, likes gnome-panel?
[23:58] <ulugbek> blackshirt: nope, more like an entire gnome 'desktop' running 'inside of another
[23:58] <ulugbek> similar to remote desktop or xdcmp
[23:59] <ulugbek> except with a 'local' user/gnome
