[00:00] Hi all, slightly off topic but...can anyone tell me if VMware Workstation (installed on windows) can boot a Ubuntu installation installed on a dual boot machine? [00:00] where do i go to get unity help? === Guest62872 is now known as helloooooooooooo [00:01] can anyone please tell me why I can't join #java ?? it says I need to be invited [00:01] rlmccormick: it can, but only after to have done the p2v migration [00:01] mrb427: thats easy, you have to be invited === helloooooooooooo is now known as asjkdhajksdhjkas [00:02] mrb427: trying ##java [00:02] how exactly would I get invited? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [00:03] foreWORX_: Let's face it. We normally don't give out our passwords so that others can log into our laptops from outside, so I don't see how that is a big threat to me and you. So... nufsaid.. [00:04] Hello, i have 3G USB dongle (Huawei E372), i probed it, it's here, detected as a modem yet my GUI doesn't want to give me the appropriate option to connect... [00:04] usr13, 0.o sorry i got disconnected. so not sure what your on about [00:04] own3d [00:04] where do i go to get unity help? [00:04] foreWORX_: then your computer was *entirely* secure from network attacks ;-) [00:05] mrb427: /join ##java [00:05] hi! [00:05] danub: here is a good start [00:05] gordonjcp, YEAP [00:05] ulugbek: thats what i thought, but no one knows the answer [00:05] usr13: thanks, doesnt seem to be doing anything though [00:05] except i have to get back on the internet [00:05] so i want to try somewhere else [00:05] danub: why not just ask your question?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:06] gordonjcp: ok, ill ask again [00:06] i get an error NameError: global name 'GError' is not defined [00:06] when trying to do unity --reset [00:06] how can i fix this? [00:07] right now, i cant scroll my windows...(not without using the pageup/pagedown keys) [00:07] so i tried to do a unity reset but it gives that error and i see bug reports on it, but i need to get it fixed and cant seem to find the solution [00:07] 972304 [00:08] danub: have you tried googling for that error message, verbatim? [00:08] danub: you had this issue before or after reset? [00:08] i have this issue before and after the upgrade, after reboots, etc [00:09] gordonjcp: thats the first thing i always do [00:09] danub: upgrade to __________ ? [00:09] 12.04 ? [00:09] from 11.10 to 12.04 [00:09] 2.5.1 [00:10] danub: so did you try the first thing in the first hit on Google? [00:10] danub: Is this relevant?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-lens-videos/+bug/972304 === EricAndrews is now known as EricCubixCloud [00:10] Launchpad bug 972304 in unity-scope-video-remote (Ubuntu Precise) "unity-scope-video-remote crashed with GError in on_activate_uri(): Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gvfs-open" (No such file or directory)" [Low,Fix committed] [00:10] gordonjcp: first thing that popped up on my results was the launchpad bug report with no solution [00:11] danub: there should be an ubuntuforums thread? [00:11] usr13: from that summary, no. mine is a dbus error relating to an undefined GError value [00:12] danub: they suggest logging in using unity2d, and checking that unity is enabled in ccsm [00:12] danub: sounds like compiz borkery, are you using the same configuration files before/after the upgrade? [00:12] danub: ie the ones in you home directory [00:12] danub: however without seeing the error verbatim it's hard to be sure [00:12] danub: what did you upgrade? [00:13] do-release-upgrade. it upgraded practically everything [00:13] ah [00:13] yeah, nice theory [00:13] I have never seen do-release-upgrade work entirely without problems [00:14] unity config was never changed so whatever was set during the unity install of 11.10, is what it still is (unless the upgrade changed it, i was never prompted about it) [00:14] I don't understand why people bother with do-release-upgrade, it takes much longer to do that than it does to just do a fresh install [00:15] then just script installing all the packages you normally add in [00:15] danub: there are some subtle differences, if you do not have heavy environmental customization, i would suggest using gconf (or preferred) to send everything to 'defaults' [00:15] http://pastebin.com/FRFHS6pC [00:15] that is the error [00:16] gordonjcp: what was that link with the unity2d info? [00:16] im going to give that a shot and see whats up [00:16] danub: as I suspected it is compiz [00:17] ulugbek: so what? remove and reinstall compiz? [00:17] danub: try to disable then re-enable rather than install/uninstall [00:18] hello guys, i don't know if anyone have an idea on how to ope a .csv file downloaded from internet, when i try opening it i get image1 as error but repairing it produces the other 2 pls view https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img1.png, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img2.png, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img3.png [00:18] ulugbek: got a link? i know jack about the x subsystem. up until i installed ubuntu, i was always a headless redhat guy [00:19] danub: one moment, i just had to do this a couple weeks ago, looking for my txt file [00:20] What would be the preferred way to create a script that runs through several tasks on Ubuntu 11.10, on start up? Would I have to create a script from scratch & set certain parameters or should I edit a file like .bash_rc or .bash_profile? Any help would be much appreciated! [00:20] ok, think i found something in the ccsm [00:21] the dbus under unity wasn't checked (don't know what checking it will do, but we are about to find out) [00:21] nope, still get the error. crap [00:21] tking: looking at the second screenshot, looks like the file might be zipped (so not a csv file, or maybe inside the zip) [00:23] im guessing i will have to restart for this stuff to take affect. lets see what happens [00:23] trism thanks its not zipped, cos my friend opened it from his windows [00:26] the file has the headers for a zip file but whatever it is, it isn't a text file which is what a csv is supposed to be [00:27] tking: which program is your friend using to open it? [00:27] microsoft office [00:28] because at least one of the office formats is a zip compressed .xml ... [00:28] nope, still didnfix my error. how am i supposed to get the scroll bar in the search window? [00:28] hi [00:28] Khisanth, microsoft office on windows, i have experience this before with a .doc file [00:28] or the dash home window rather? i get it on some other windows (which is a start atleast) [00:29] microsoft > 2&>1 /dev/null [00:29] anyone can test if my ssh server works by ssh juan@177.84.106.253 please ? [00:29] dominoe are you a honey pot? [00:29] Khisanth, i renamed the file to xml and didn't work [00:30] im sick it doesnt work when i test it from my network [00:30] dominoe what about localhost? [00:30] dominoe, you have to use your internal IP [00:30] with the outside ip address but yes inside my network [00:31] you cant give it the external if your behind the firewall [00:31] that works the internal ip [00:31] hello all! [00:31] I want to test if i can ssh from the outside thats why i ask here [00:31] tking: it's definitely NOT a .xml, it COULD be a .xlsx [00:31] so your prob is your firewall or your routing [00:31] Does anyone know of an updated version of this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370738 for ubuntu 12.04 lts 64bit? [00:31] especially if it is supposed ot be a spreadsheet [00:32] I eliminated all firewall rules did port forwarding [00:32] Khisanth, but LibreOffice opens .xlsx files [00:32] have you done a trace route? [00:32] try ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 tell me if you get something (I dont) [00:32] nulldev: he can get in fine internally, he wants someone to test if they can access from outside [00:32] traceroute works [00:33] danub hence the trace route [00:33] danub: well i cant find my howto, must be at work, but - [00:33] they go outside the network iirc [00:33] danub: something to try maybe to reset compiz to defaults via [00:33] danub: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 -and then- [00:33] exactly danub thats what I want can u try it? [00:34] danub: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compizconfig [00:34] Khisanth, seeing it from my frnd pc its a .csv file (comma seperated value...) but i thi [00:34] dominoe why you binding ssh to https (443) Apche will be conflicting [00:34] also this online ssh tests works and retrieves the ssh server fingerprint [00:34] ^^ [00:35] I also tried binding with 5900 its the only two open ports available I have from my provider [00:35] ^^ [00:35] tking: it might be able to open xlsx files but not when you are telling it that the file is a CSV [00:35] dominoe: you have alot more then that [00:35] also this works: http://www.infobyip.com/sshservertest.php [00:35] ssh will not bind to 443 if you have Apache running [00:35] I dont have apache anyways [00:36] and it works from the inside and from an external online test here: http://www.infobyip.com/sshservertest.php it rerieves the fingerprint [00:36] so Im almost there [00:36] but I read that testong from the inside can cause loopback problems [00:36] dominoe: so which port did you forward? [00:36] I forward 443 to 22 [00:37] ulugbek: 2 questions. 1, in your dash home, do you get a scroll bar? can you scroll that window? and 2 where can i set keyboard shortcuts? i looked in the keyboard settings but nothing is there for my shortcuts [00:37] on the machine behind the router where the ssh deamon works (listening to 22) [00:37] dominoe you have something running on port 80 so I think Apache is running my nmap was filtered [00:37] Khisanth, well, i think its a csv bcos i downloaded it from a website many servers can create .csv files and not xls or xlxs most especially if site is build on PHP [00:37] and internally its perfect I login from other machines [00:37] dominoe service apache2 status? [00:38] dominoe: Ag, I see it now. I do see a password prompt when I do "ssh -p 443 -v juan@177.84.106.253" [00:38] danub: no scroll, and i have no idea about shortcuts, sry :( [00:38] perfet Loshki then it works ! [00:38] it doesn't have a scroll for you either? wth is that? how are you supposed to scroll your programs? lol thats so stupid [00:38] I must have a problem that that same command ssh -p 443 -v juan@177.84.106.253 for some reason does not work from the local network [00:38] guess i dont need to reset the config then... [00:39] buenas noches necesito ayuda [00:39] dominoe: yes, it looks like a functioning ssh server! [00:39] 443 isnt needed for ssh either ssh is more secure than https [00:39] ok Loshki great great man I was like 5 hours on this crap [00:40] if changing port, you want to chaange it to defer port scans so an unused port or a used port by a service you dont run [00:41] descargue la actualizacion 11.10 de ubuntu y ahora cuando intento entrar de nuevo al sistema se queda buteando y no entra [00:41] I can use 5900 wait loski let me change it... ok and try this now please : ssh -p 5900 -v juan@177.84.106.253 [00:42] quien podria ayudarme por fa === cornfeed is now known as zz_cornfeed [00:42] I think its better I use port 5900 as a ssh binding to 22 instead of port 443 to avoid those https problems [00:42] dominoe 5900 should be fine [00:43] so please any one can try this and tell me if they get to the password prompt : ssh -p 5900 -v juan@177.84.106.253 [00:43] dominoe: yes, it works with 5900 also. If you're going to leave an ssh server running, consider disabling passworded logins and only allow entry via ssh keys [00:43] yes but 5900 is normally used by VPN/VNC [00:43] yeah ok Ill do that [00:43] i have a problem my unity dissapears i believe that i install cinnamon how can i fix this [00:43] at least now I know its working... thanks [00:44] dominoe you need ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p 5900 [00:44] can you also test a vpn connection on that same IP? [00:44] you can put -v after ssh [00:44] i also cant get vpn fom the inside [00:45] you setting up a honey trap? [00:45] yeah the -v was just to get info here [00:46] necesito ayuda [00:46] quien podria ayudarme [00:46] dont know what a honey trap is i just want to see if it works from out, cause i dont understand why from inside it doesnt when i use the exernal ip [00:47] dominoe a honey trap is what real hackers use to learn but also get the IP addresses of people connecting [00:47] anyone know a website where Paypal could be purcashed [00:47] haha no no i dont care about your ips i care about stopping to getting obsessed with this [00:47] but ok ssh works thas already great [00:48] so vpn/vnc should work to [00:48] dominoe your issue is network related from what I see [00:48] well yeah thats quite a general statement what esle could it be [00:49] but rare [00:49] I mean you can access from oustide and me fomr inside too but using the internal IP [00:49] hi, I just installed the package phpmyadmin and the app is not accessible through http://localhost/phpmyadmin . It's the first time this happens :) what do I do? [00:49] so my ssh is on the machine 192.168.1.101 and I can connect there === lrh9_ is now known as lrh9 [00:50] but not when I ssh to the external IP binded to the internet (from the inside) but you ues [00:50] strange no ?! [00:50] I'm having some issues configuring SFTP for a specific user. I want them chrooted to the directory /media/Storage/Archives/. I have this in sshd_config. http://pastebin.com/bAwwZ7iK However, when I try to connect, i get "Connection reset by peer". Can anyone help me figure this out? [00:50] dominoe so are all your services your trying to connect to responding locally. Telnet or port scan? [00:50] yes locally telnet/vpn and ssh work perfect [00:50] thats the first step of troubleshooting [00:50] and from what I say also from the ouside [00:51] but only when I try connecting to the sevices from the inside but using the outside IP they dont [00:51] but yes when I use the internal IPs [00:51] dominoe what services are serving external? [00:51] only ssh and vpn [00:53] so I can sshe from machine 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.101 by doing ssh juan@192.168.1.101 BUT not by doing juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 (but YOU from the outside, so outside my router yes) [00:53] ok, found my solution (weird, though) http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-98071.html [00:54] dominoe Ive port scanned 177.84.106.253 from 2 different locations now and both blocked so its your firewall/router [00:54] most ports are blocked [00:54] but 443 and 5900 are open [00:55] all your ports are blocked [00:55] what is ubuntu-offchat channel again? [00:55] i dont control that [00:55] its my provider [00:55] so if youve need external access you need it open [00:55] uhum thats why i use 443 which is open [00:56] ok so you want to tunnel over 443? [00:56] so if you get the password prompt by ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 its ok [00:56] i did === zz_cornfeed is now known as cornfeed [00:56] some guy confirmed it worked [00:56] hi all [00:57] dominoe your trying to tunnel your connections through a firewall ? [00:57] hi, can ubuntu detect 2-finger pinch gestures and use them for triggering actions like expo ( thats the exact feature i'm after) [00:57] uhum its done [00:58] ... or 2-finger rotate gesture for desktop switching (rotate-cube :) ) [00:58] dominoe from what youve said your trying to forward ssh (out) on port 443 https yeah? [00:58] to get round a firewall? [00:59] i just told the router to forward port 443 to port 22 on the internal machine 192.168.1.101 [00:59] I have a monitor connected by 5x BNC cable so the automatic detection of monitor resolution cannot work by principle. The maximum offered is 1024x768 which is too low fo rme to work with. My monitor supports 1600x1200x85 Hz. I looked into the "display devices" but didn't find any option to enter the resolution 1600x1200x85 Hz manually. Is there such an option? [00:59] to be able to ssh to my house [00:59] thats all [00:59] so I can work from outside if I need it [00:59] What's the consensus on ripping DVDs that I've purchased and watching them on a computer that's hooked up to my tv? Legal? What's the best app to do it with? [01:00] yes 443 on my internal machine which does not have https nor apache [01:00] hello [01:00] no sorry no [01:00] dominoe yes but what ever your behind is blocking everything all my port scans have been blocked [01:00] i was on my server setting up some ip routes tryong to solve a problem [01:00] 22 on my internal machine 443 on the external IP [01:01] i asked how i could get rid of the old rules i made that did not work. they said ip rule fluse [01:01] flush [01:01] or something like that [01:01] youre scanning what ports on what IP address? [01:01] dominoe, are you on dsl? don't forget to punch a hole through the modem too. [01:01] as they respond locally ok but not externally shows its your network or routing [01:01] Im on pppoe [01:01] i did that and now the entire network is screwed up and all the ports are blinking like crazy and no traffic will go through [01:02] if their some way to restore the router before the flush>? [01:02] routes* [01:02] dominoe, What's your modem? [01:02] is there an easy way to change the default power options? I have an old laptop running as a server but power options only seem to apply when a user is logged in. [01:02] I'm running gnome classic on precise and my screen does not go into screensaver any more. It even never turns off the screens after a while. Where can I find the config for this? [01:02] rm -rf / will fix all your problem [01:02] I dont have a modem the router is directly connected to a cable [01:02] ok [01:02] the modem is at my provider I guess [01:02] 12.04 [01:02] dominoe if you want to route through 443 it has to be open [01:02] it is [01:03] its not my port scans from 2 diff locations show it closed [01:03] check here its very open: http://www.infobyip.com/sshservertest.php [01:03] How do I know if I have KDM or GDM on my Ubuntu? [01:03] one of those boxes is a repo server [01:03] just put my external IP and port 443 to test it and it retrieves the ssh fingerprint [01:03] Has the problem with Karmic Koala Desktop edition LiveCD overwriting the Master Boot Record been fixed in Precise Pangolin?

I download it but then I am lost at that point.. [01:04] actually from my same network does not work [01:05] your firewall isnt blocking you [01:05] thats why I asked here to test [01:05] rm -rf / will not fix all your problem, it will destroy all the software installed on your PC [01:05] no its not a firewall problem I opened all [01:05] all rules are open [01:05] Ive heard that many a time [01:05] I dont know whY I cannot use the external ip to ssh from the inside [01:06] but I dont care anyways [01:06] as long as it workd from inside with the internal ip ots ok [01:06] paste your ip tables to paste bin [01:06] and outiside with the external [01:07] your ports are closed external how many times Ive scanned you from 2 diff sources one a web server!

I have a huge problem I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 from a fresh install while encrypting my home folder. After a while the install hanged or stalled and now I can't tell if part of my partition is damaged and can't be deleted. [01:12] clock Ive never had to edit it Slackware, Gentoo so whats up? [01:13] clock, what are you trying to do [01:13] I have a monitor connected by BNC. BNC carries only picture signal, no configuration signal [01:13] So the PC cannot read out which modes the monitor supports [01:14] I would appreciate if modes could be entered manually in the graphical configuration tool [01:14] Not just selection from a fixed list [01:14] clock can you not connect via serial? [01:14] no [01:14] ok one more test please can someone do : "ssh -p 443 juan@177.84.106.253" and tell me if the see the password prompt? [01:14] Its a special long (many meters) flat cable which fits behind furniture [01:14] My monitor is far away from the PC [01:14] clock, what graphics card? [01:15] jiohdi, how do I tell? [01:15] clock, do you have nvidia? [01:15] jiohdi, how do I tell?

[01:17] dominoe try 127.0.0.1 as IP [01:17] tking, is it battery life while being used or while being idle? [01:18] that works [01:18] clock while being used [01:18] also ssh 192.168.1.101 works [01:18] tking, can you first determine the typical CPU usage under Windows and under Linux? [01:18] but thats cause im in the network [01:18] id like to try with the external ip [01:18] under Linux the top command for example [01:18] under Windows there a graph for it [01:18] Depends on the router. The only reliable way to test is [01:18] from outside your network. [01:19] windows 2>&1 /dev/null [01:19] tking, if the CPU load is 2x more under Linux then it may be the cause [01:19] clock, determin how? [01:19] tking, do you know how to run commands in Ubuntu? [01:20] no cpu works harder under Linux than windows unless is something m$ asp etc [01:20] I know this probably is a google chrome issue, but does anyone else experienced the chrome trying to start the webcam and becoming slower (hanging every 5 second) ? If I unplug the webcam I have no issue... [01:20] yes, but dont know command to check battery, pls advice [01:20] filosofix: Why would chrome be trying to start your camera? [01:20] clock, i do know some basics like sudo apt-get .... [01:21] filosofix you might have a rootkit run chkrootkit and rkhunter [01:21] tking: Under linux you can use the "top" or "htop" command to check your CPU usage. [01:21] jthan : I do not know, but the webcam start blinking when chrome starts [01:21] tking, yes so run command "top" and it will display CPU usage, even divided by process name [01:21] filosofix: I don't think it's a chrome bug, but perhaps you have a plugin or website open that is trying to use it? [01:21] I have a Logitech C210 webcam, its not being detected when Ubuntu starts. I have to unplug it and plug it back in like 5 times just to get it to start being detected by ubuntu for some reason. Then when it finally gets detected. It does this http://pastebin.com/yuyfVe8b and then crashes my wireless in the process. Anyone know why this is? [01:21] tking: Run powertop and follow suggestions for decreasing wakeupes [01:21] tking, I would suggest watching this while doing your typical work [01:21] so I did forwarded the 443 port of the external IP to port 22 on the ssh server in the internal machine and need someone to tell me if sshing into the external IP works (cause from hte inside for me it does nto if I use that IP). So anyone can tell me if they get to the password promt heby doing: "ssh 177.84.106.253 -p443" [01:22] tking, do you watch Youtube videos a lot?

[01:30] insecure* [01:31] nulldev : not as secure :D had me wondering there for a second :D [01:31] clock yes pls, i cant understand the powertop i ran cos i dont understand yet too much on ubuntu, hving too many probs as a novice :) [01:31] nulldev : I only install a few things from ppa's that I trust.. the rest from official repos...

[01:36] excuse me please tell me how to get into ##linux chat... i want to ask questions about the terminal and commands [01:37] is there a mate version of ubuntu ready for d/l or do i have to install manually [01:37] it keeps saying cannot send to channel [01:37] nulldev, I feel disrespected when you ask why I didn't learn RTFM [01:37] RTFM solves all problems [01:37] Alexis15: Are you registered? /msg NickServ help register [01:38] thanks jrdnn [01:38] nulldev, and also unfairly criticized [01:38] clock you said you have 14 years exp thats alot more than me [01:38] Alexis15: You're welcome :) [01:38] clock you should know/at least understand [01:39] i was trying to clean up all these ip rules i made that did not work so i used the flush command and now the network does not work correctly or do anything even after a server reboot [01:39] nulldev, I feel disrespected when you say I should know/at least understand [01:39] can i restore to like it was before the flush [01:39] clock nulldev thats enough [01:40] clock sorry for that I work with IT certefied ppl alot and Im a hacker [01:40] !ot | nulldev [01:40] bazhang, I feel disrespected and unfairly treated when you say clock [...]thats enough [01:40] nulldev: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[01:43] go linux! [01:43] hi all, for some reason my network manager stopped starting at boot, how can I recover it? [01:44] network manger? Is it starting on boot? [01:44] I'm going to migrate, but I'm having trouble getting sorted. [01:45] nulldev, is not, I have to go on CL to start it [01:45] lrh9, good for you, you are about to start a great adventure [01:46] How can I install the mysqlnd for php? i need the fetch_all() function [01:46] I'm trying to figure out how to partition my disk and maybe set up a multiboot system. [01:46] lrh9: gpart? [01:46] Burned the Live disc. [01:46] new problem lol.. ive registered with the channe. how can i sign into it now please :) [01:46] when i start xchat [01:47] Right now I'm trying to figure out how to install grub and Ubuntu without borking the MBR, what partitions I should make, and how to use my wireless network adapter with NDISwrapper. [01:47] Alexis15, try in #xchat [01:48] ddn whats chkconfig --list | grep network show? [01:48] try what bazhang? [01:48] jimi_: http://fishtrap.co.uk/blog/2011/06/16/compiling-php-to-use-mysqlnd-on-ubuntu/ [01:48] In ubuntu 12.04, how can I change default power management settings for when no user is logged in. [01:48] Alexis15, asking about xchat ----> #xchat [01:48] i registered in ##linux channe, and now i wish to login to that channel i tried /msg NickServ login but nothing lol [01:48] jrdnn, yeah, i dont wanna compile though, right? mixing source and packages? [01:49] alexis15 bazhing is doing what I mdo worst expect ppl know [01:49] jimi: Sorry, unless there's a PPA for it I think compiling is the only way [01:49] i understand, but today is my first day on linux, and i have a LOT of questions about linux, but i can't ask them if i cant type. [01:50] so i need to know what the command is to simply login with the information i registered with [01:50] why not build a deb src and contribute [01:50] Alexis15, indeed, and the channel for xchat questions would be #xchat , /join #xchat [01:50] and dont forget compiles usually dont have uncompiles [01:51] i understand you want me to go to another chat and ask in xchat, but then i would need to register with xchat channel, login with it, ask the question, and then login with linux, and ask questions there, and since i'm only asking for 1 simple command that takes less than 10 seconsd to type [01:51] Alexis15, you dont need to register with individual channels [01:51] it would be much easier if someone just told me the command. this is ubuntu chat after all, since it's the landing place for xchat, i assume it's a very general chat, and has no "specific" topic. Xchat is a program ran by ubunto, the OS i'm using, and should be on topic specially a question as simple as this lol [01:52] Alexis15: /msg NickServ identify password [01:52] thanks :D [01:52] Alexis15, its not a single command to add a channel to xchat [01:52] You are already signed into the freenode server with the name Alexix15, simply type "/join #xchat" in this window and it will open the other room. [01:52] nope, i had to do the command jrdnn told me [01:52] hehe [01:52] it worked though, so thank you [01:53] people who cant use irc maybe shouldnt be using Linux [01:53] !behelpful | nulldev [01:53] nulldev: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful".

[01:55] Hey guys, i'm attempting to install precise on my relatively new computer, but after i hit 'install', i get the stream of install text and then the video goes blank, and the install goes idle. [01:55] No amount of searches on google have been helpful [01:55] i thought the command is: sudo apt-get install NAMEOFINSTALL [01:57] your image file may be corrupt. If you haven't yet, try re-downloading the Precise iso. === lance is now known as Guest39970 [01:57] zwickmobile: do a checksum test [01:57] then you can figure out if the iso is bad like SpacMan said [01:58] Before i do that, are there any other possible issues that are widely known? [01:58] Does anyone in here use Linux PPC64? [01:59] I was worried it was the dual monitor [01:59] nulldev, \sbin\insserv is missing [02:01] I am using Xubuntu 10.04 on a Power PC Mac. It works great. I just wish I could find a good alternative flash player. [02:02] Guest39970: what do you use flash for? [02:02] Since adobe dropped the Power PC a long time ago. [02:02] Just for games and video [02:02] Gnash is alright for youtube. [02:02] Guest39970: can't help with games, but with video I prefer running them through a desktop client like Miro [02:03] I see [02:03] does anyone have owncloud on their systems? [02:04] Guest39970: you can actually use your YouTube playlists and favorites like an RSS feed ... besides Miro Guide is so nice and most big independent media is on there already [02:04] nulldev, u there? [02:04] Disabling my 2nd monitor to see if it is an issue [02:04] Guest39970: Banshee has alot of the same features as well if you want an alternative [02:05] Cool. Thanks goddard. I'll check them out. [02:05] I'm somewhat of a newbie so.. [02:05] Guest39970: no worries [02:05] minitube is a flash free alternative for YouTube as well.

Then you'll know if your disk is good. Do you know the disk model number? [02:26] is anyone here [02:26] Go to www.dban.org [02:27] click on downloads, and then when it is finished, burn it to a CD.

[03:18] bridge mode still handles modem functionality? [03:18] hi guys [03:20] I'm running 12.04 LTS and I wanted to know can I edit the Unit Dash sections? I would like there to be sections just like there are menu sections in Gnome and KDE, Graphics, Internet, Office, etc... For starters I'd like to be able to remove the online videos appearing in the video section === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [03:22] wow I've never seen this channel so slow, anyone around here? [03:22] hi [03:23] can someone help me [03:23] ? [03:23] is there a driver for linux alfa awus036nha wifi card [03:23] !info myunity | akr you mean this? [03:23] akr you mean this?: myunity (source: myunity): Unity configurator. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 529 kB, installed size 1125 kB [03:23] Zapsoda, whats the chipset === Afteraffekt is now known as Afterraff` [03:25] well are you guys using Unity? [03:25] Nope [03:25] Cinnamon [03:25] akr, did you try myunity? [03:25] Zapsoda, is this usb or pci [03:25] not much of what I'd call broken down into sections, just 'Applications' with everything thrown together [03:25] yeah let me look thanks [03:25] When I log into ubuntu it says that 2 packages can be updated. Am I supposed to do apt-get update to update them? [03:26] menu sections in Gnome and KDE, Graphics, Internet, Office, etc... - it already have it akr, select Filter Results in the app tab [03:26] devslash, its a good idea to keep up to date, esp. for security updates [03:26] ahh ok [03:26] How [03:27] its usb [03:27] sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade devslash [03:27] Zapsoda, so check lsusb and paste.ubuntu.com with the output from terminal [03:28] hmm not quite what I'm looking for the filter results, maybe the myunity will do the trick [03:28] hello all, My printer (Brother Mfc -j615w) won't print. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 I have unpacked drivers in /var/spool/ and everything looks right. Printer says its working, the print queue says the jobs are complete, but no printing is happening. [03:28] Bazhang. How do I update? [03:28] devslash, I just told you the commands [03:29] it is connected through usb. [03:31] oh man my goofy baby conure just fell off her toy ladder and did a face plant LOL [03:31] hi all. running 12.04. i'm getting a blank screen where the login (lightdm?) should appear. any debugging advice? [03:32] hello all, My printer (Brother Mfc -j615w) won't print. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 I have unpacked drivers in /var/spool/ and everything looks right. Printer says its working, the print queue says the jobs are complete, but no printing is happening. [03:35] how would i find a channel where people would discuss printer problems? [03:36] Have you tried looking on Google for a solution? [03:36] well I don't see myunity with any options to categorize and make menus === lrh9_ is now known as lrh9 [03:37] yeah. no luck [03:37] Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? [03:37] no. it worked until i reinstalled ubuntu onto ssd === lrh9_ is now known as lrh9 [03:38] That's odd. Someone here could probably help, if not then try the forums [03:38] yeah. === root is now known as Guest26403 [03:40] hello all, My printer (Brother Mfc -j615w) won't print. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 I have unpacked drivers in /var/spool/ and everything looks right. Printer says its working, the print queue says the jobs are complete, but no printing is happening. [03:40] I am running ubuntu 32 bit and planning to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 6GB... So obviously I have to go 64bit, is reinstalling the only way??? [03:41] !pae | barettm16 [03:41] barettm16: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [03:41] since precice ubuntu uses the pae kernel by default also [03:41] Hey everyone, and happy independence day to my fellow US Americans, [03:41] now I've been having a rather strange thing happen. On boot up, GRUB's background says "Debian, the universal operating system" or something like that. I haven't installed the Debian operating system itself on my machine yet it started displaying that that all of a sudden out of nowhere, why is that? [03:41] Precice Pangolin* [03:41] ubuntu 12.04, dhcp networking ... I can't seem to get name resolution going. Other clients (e.g. SLES, debian squeeze) on dhcp get a resolv.conf from the dhcp server and are happy. On the ubunut host it stays a symlink to an empty file [03:41] thanks xangua... will have a look [03:41] how do I make this work? [03:42] ok I guess the sections in Unity are called 'lens'? So I guess I can remove the video one, but I would like to keep it and just remove all the online video content and instead have it replaced where video applications go [03:43] set-up is quite straightforward ... [03:43] /etc/network/interfaces [03:43] auto eth0 [03:43] and when you open up the Dash it just says 'Installed' So no way in the Dash to make sections and have the applications placed there? [03:44] iface eth0 inet dhcp [03:44] gets a lease, no sweat ... [03:44] i keep losing messages when chatting in empathy to People Nearby. I'm on u12.04, wifi. Nothing suspicious in the debug log. [03:45] hello === nbd_ is now known as aperturestudio [03:47] I'm using Ubuntu Minimal and df -h says it's using about 2.6GB. Can I make it even smaller? I uninstalled the games. Just wanting to make it really small. [03:47] damm so this is all the crap involved with creating like menu categories now called lens in Unity; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses/ [03:48] heya [03:48] hi all [03:49] how can i change my wallpaper every 1 hour [03:49] as anyone tried ubuntu on the samsung 700G7A? [03:50] tinkster: have you seen http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ ? dns resolving in 12.04 has quite some changes [03:50] and know if things like the kb backlight and webcam work [03:50] ds_: I do that. What you do is copy an image to some name you standardize on, like current_wallpaper.jpg, and set that to your wallpaer. Then set up a cron job to copy over that file with a different image every hour. When you overwrite the file, the wallpaper will change. [03:53] What [03:53] is a good messenger program? [03:53] Does anyone understand HUD? For example, if I type Terminal in HUD it has no idea what I want???? [03:53] daoneunv_: Pidgin is my favorite [03:53] Pidgin is going crazy [03:53] With my gnome 3 notifications [03:53] Maybe you fed it stale breadrumbs [03:54] brb gunna do a reboot === joli is now known as Guest46922 [03:54] sorry, joke fail. Breadcrumbs are already stale [03:54] Hey, I have a security question [03:55] glitsj16, yah, I happened across that. most of it is of interest for static networking [03:55] dhcp should "just work" [03:55] only it doesn't ... [03:55] is it possible to add a USB.ID to a module so that that module will load when the USB device is plugged in? [03:55] ki4ro: the hud is for acces the active window menu entries, you can also use indicator menu entries [03:55] When I connect to my VPN my time bar occasionally pops up, I think. [03:55] !hud [03:55] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS includes the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:56] getting quite annoyed ... resorted to cyclically cat-ting a known good resolv.conf over the symlinled dynamically created file from cron [03:56] Is someone trying to find my timezone? [03:56] no pretty [03:56] xangua: I don't understand...sorry [03:56] ki4ro: acces active window menu entries [03:57] xangua: You mean if I have Firefox open I can do things with it from HUD? [03:59] so that's a no then, eh? [03:59] any Unity pros around that can tell me if I can organize the applications into sections, typical of what you find on a menu, Graphics, Office, Internet, Multimedia, etc...? [03:59] tinkster: can't say that i grasp all the changes, personally i took out dnsmasq and all returned to 'normal' [04:01] glitsj16, I did that, too ... no difference [04:01] I just don't consider the behaviour of the boxen "normal" [04:02] akr, in the applications lens, there is a filter button [04:02] top right hand corner [04:02] Does anyone understand HUD? For example, if I type Terminal in HUD it has no idea what I want???? [04:02] f*ck, if I had seen such behaviour on a linux machine ~ 16 years ago I wouldn't be making bread using Linux these days [04:03] (22:57:40) ki4ro: xangua: You mean if I have Firefox open I can do things with it from HUD? - you can acces firefox menu entries [04:03] ki4ro: hud isn't for finding applications [04:03] gaelfx: I think it can be done via udev, dunno the details though... [04:03] okay, i think the Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS is painful... [04:03] tr3nton: I'm not talking about filtering results but instead, when you open the Dash you have it divided up into sections [04:03] i will be doing LAMP stuff - what is the recommended release for me? [04:04] tr3nton: Okay. How is that easier/better than accessing them from the application? [04:05] ki4ro: don't know, I still use the menu's my pointing my mouse at them === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:06] tr3nton: Yeah, me too. LOL Can't figure out what I can do with it or why it was written, hence the query [04:06] the filter results also don't work well, you click one, it's still highlighted so when you click another one you don't get anything, I have to always click All then to the section I want === cornfeed is now known as zz_cornfeed [04:07] ki4ro: I guess sometimes you don't know which menu list something lives in, and in that case, may be easier to find via searching.. [04:07] tr3nton: Think I'll go google it and see what its supposed purpose is...if I find anything interesting I'll let you know [04:07] ki4ro: did you read marks intro to it? http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/939 [04:08] tr3nton: I will now [04:08] have people had a lot of success with PlayOnLinux? [04:09] depends on the windows app Balask [04:10] I'm trying COD 4 MW now but I was also hoping to try Steam and Starcraft: Broodwars. What applications have you had issues with Dr. Willis? [04:12] akr: Check out this lens: http://askubuntu.com/a/86476/50523 [04:12] if i want games i boot to windows. i use wine to run a few utils. [04:12] akr: maybe that's what you are after [04:13] I was checking /etc/passwd and there's a user listed called whoopsie which I didn't create. Does anyone know what that is and if it's safe to delete [04:13] tr3nton: Well, thanks to you, I scanned the article and find that, for me, pointing and clicking is a helluva lot easier LOL Many thnks [04:14] guys need to how does the guest user in ubuntu 11.10 lost ma copied files after restarting [04:14] *thanks [04:14] hi [04:14] devslash, it is an user created by and for the whoopsie daemon( a crash debugging information daemon) [04:14] can someone confirm my messages are getting through to the channel? [04:15] bairui: We see you [04:15] thank you [04:15] bairui: I also see you [04:15] Ghostchick so I take it that I ought a leave it alone [04:15] :) [04:16] devslash, yup [04:16] kaya, where you using the guest account? [04:16] ok, i asked an empathy question earlier and didn't get a response. I notice my client calls the room #ubuntu-unregged and wondered if that was a cryptic way of telling me I lacked regs to talk. [04:16] tr3nton: I'm trying to figure out if the Dash can have category/sections like your typical KDE/Gnome menu has, Office, Internet, Multimedia, etc., not looking to have a lens but have this thing categorized and not using the Filters either to find things. Seems really odd no one ever put everything into sections when you opened it, or like the sections listed at the bottom showing the musical note, home etc, could be created then into the categories to arrange it [04:18] akr: if you click the second button in at the bottom of the dash (Applications) and the top-right hand Filter Results pop-out... is that what you want? [04:18] Ghostchick I've removed the extra mysql users, installed a firewall (shorewall) and use SSH but disabled password authentication and use keys. Is there anything else I should do to secure my install of ubuntu? [04:18] you can add classic gnome menus to unity if you want also. [04:19] devslash, reduce the number of daemons runnning, change the encryption of the root password, block unused ttys(not an expert on security though) [04:20] is there a good active antivirus and firewall to use on Ubuntu? [04:20] Ghostchick I use a fairly complex password for my main account [04:20] !firewall [04:20] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [04:20] bairui: no and I'll take a screen shot and hack it up and show you and everyone what I've been asking for the last hour that no one seems to get LOL [04:20] devslash, i meant the encryption itself not the password [04:21] * akr bangs head [04:21] okay then [04:21] akr: do you need the medic? [04:21] I don't think I. Set a root password. Is logging in as root disabled? [04:21] maybe soon [04:21] LOL [04:21] akr: a picture's worth a thousand headaches, as they say [04:21] hang tight, installing gimp [04:22] !root| devslash [04:22] devslash: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:22] Can I setup a multi-boot system without having Windows installed, but have a logical partition in case I want to install it later? All the tutorials expect Windows to be the first logical partition and the boot partion to do chain loading. [04:23] lrh9 it's because windows ruins GRUB, if you install it after linux [04:23] Overwrites the MBR? [04:23] lrh9 you have to repair grub, is what i mean [04:24] So it's possible. [04:24] lrh9 technically, maybe, yes [04:25] but i guess nobody has ever tried what you want to do [04:25] I could just reinstall everything if I ever want to install Windows. [04:25] Recently got a R820 from DELL quad socket (8 core) server with 512GB of RAM. Pretty much a beast. We were planning on running a vary large DB on the system using Ubuntu as the OS. 12.04 will not load. [04:26] anyone played with / had issue with R820? [04:26] MonkeyDust, don't we still have to do some configuration on GRUB? [04:27] correction 12.04 will LOAD but on first boot the server hangs and will restart [04:27] after a few reboots it will eventually panic [04:27] always in a different part of the post process [04:28] I guess not if we run update-grub... === zz_cornfeed is now known as cornfeed [04:29] 9guys need to how does the guest user in ubuntu 11.10 lost ma copied files after restarting [04:29] guys need to how does the guest user in ubuntu 11.10 lost ma copied files after restarting [04:30] kaya: because is the guest session¿ it's not suposed to save anything settings or files === ubuntu is now known as Guest51593 [04:31] I keep getting an error when trying to startx as any user but root. It tells me that I'm not authorized to run the X server. I've done a dpkg-reconfigure x11-common and set it allow anybody to start it but I still get the same error. [04:31] xangua, how cani retrieve them [04:31] any idea why unity wont start? https://gist.github.com/3051379 [04:32] kaya: use your normal user session as you should [04:32] xangua, i didnt kew it before [04:33] xangua, can retrieve back the files from the administrator session [04:34] Is oracle java available in the normal sources? [04:34] !java | jsoft [04:34] jsoft: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [04:36] anyone know how to UNfreeze the Dash Home button on unity? Nothing happens when I click it. Everything else seems ok. [04:37] when i upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 will there be compatability with stuff I have? Like will all my files and folder still work on new? [04:38] kingjames90: Should - but it's always recommended that you backup your files before upgrading. [04:38] kingjames90: fyi you'd need to update twice. 11.04 -> 11.10 then 11.10 -> 12.04 beware... [04:38] jthan thanks! [04:38] oh i see [04:39] kingjames90: Always a pleasure. Ask away if you hit any more snags [04:39] i have a snag too can you help me [04:39] What snag might that be? [04:39] please i promise im not being lazy just im new to linux and the guides dont seem to apply to me [04:40] Ask a question. I'll see what I can do for you. [04:40] well, i thought id try linux.. so i installed ubunto 12.04 lts and uninstalled windows 7 from my laptop [04:40] Good choice. Continue. [04:40] i got apache2 working.. i can go to local host and see my code.... others cant see it even tho i port fowarded port 80 [04:40] thats snag 1 [04:40] then i downloed php5, mysql-server, mysql-navigator, and phpymyadmin [04:40] hi [04:41] i had to do something with a config to make phpmyadmin work, basicly i had to change hosts to 127.0.1 or something like that i dotn remember exactly [04:41] but it works [04:41] Alexis15: So. You'll have to forward ports on your router to your computer, but most times your ISP will block port 80 so you'll have to find another that is open. [04:41] but i cant login to phpymyadmin. thats snag 2 [04:41] goodbye [04:41] i fowared port 80 [04:41] i had to do it for my ps3 [04:41] ok boys & girls this is what I mean Categories in Dash; ---> http://i.imgur.com/Ta3tH.png [04:41] so it was already fowarded [04:42] But if it was forwarded to the IP address of your PS3, people won't be able to reach your computer. [04:42] In that screen the Email, Internet, Office, can I make something like that in Dash? [04:42] They'll be able to reach your PS3 [04:42] isnt my ps3 and computer on the same ip? [04:43] They have the same external IP address, but they have different internal IP addresses assigned by your router. So, for example, your PS3 might be 10.0.1.8 while your server is 10.0.1.9 [04:43] o [04:43] ill take a look... do you know the ip thing for the router off the top of your head i always forget [04:43] 192.168.0.1? [04:43] What kind of router? [04:43] 192.168.1.1 is common [04:43] wow cnat beleive i remebd [04:43] it worked :D [04:44] ok [04:44] ;-) [04:44] the local ipaddress for port 80 is 192.168.0.99 [04:44] Right - so that's your PS3 if you already forwarded it. On your linux machine type "ifconfig" to find the IP of that box. [04:44] Just make sure you're looking at the right interface. [04:45] should i use the cli? [04:45] the terminal? [04:45] akr: I just type stuff in until the icon shows and then I click it. [04:45] Yes - sorry. [04:46] No command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean: [04:46] Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe) [04:46] Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main) [04:46] Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main) [04:46] Alexis15: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:46] Alexis15: ifconfig [04:47] inet addr:192.168.0.11 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [04:47] ok [04:47] so 11? [04:47] Alexis15: Yes - 192.168.0.11 [04:49] okkk [04:49] so now to connect to this website via another computer [04:49] i type my ip [04:49] the one found on whatsmyip.com [04:49] correct? [04:49] Right. [04:49] Alexis15: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] *crosses fingers* [04:50] WOW [04:50] it works!!!!! [04:50] woot [04:51] InHisName: you mean you do a search? [04:51] u guys know if i can extract ubuntu install from .iso to an partition and make it start from grub ? (usb and cd wont boot the install for ubuntu 12.04) [04:52] so there's no way to create categories like the screen shot? [04:52] Alexis15: ;-) Just a little experience and you'll be okay [04:52] can someone tell me why this script won't work on my android phone but it works if I run the command manually? http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/c8484087432cbb9b00074e2e000ea472/4ff51d56/1/0/3/9/5/8/9/07sdspeedfix.txt [04:52] yes, it is kinda like a search of the icons [04:52] InferiorHuman: Wrong channel to be asking. [04:52] or of their names [04:52] jthan, why? its still linux :-P [04:52] But this is #ubuntu. [04:52] not #linux [04:53] someone can answer me if they wish though. [04:53] Alexis15: On to the next issue? [04:53] seems kind of odd since most of use starting out in computing came from systems with Menus that had categories now Unity Dash comes along and now no more categories, really odd and poor design [04:53] I type "syste" and in the first line of icons is System Monitor. Like windows task mgr. [04:53] yes, if you're not tired of me already lol [04:53] i have a feeling this next one is going to be crazy hard [04:53] akr: it has categories [04:53] barfer: Try the alternate install CD? [04:53] Alexis15: Ask and we'll see what we can do. If nothing else I can probably help you find proper documentation [04:54] ok, ill tell you the story of what i did just for clarity... [04:54] xangua: not like this it doesn't --- http://i.imgur.com/Ta3tH.png [04:54] ill start by saying im kinda a wannabe web developer. i have friends who ive know for about 2 yeras now, and they have taught me php, sql, css, html, and some JS... so i understand phpmyadmin, cpanel, and the basics of creatign a website [04:55] Nothing wrong with that. [04:55] akr: why exactly do you want it like that? [04:56] jthan: its like my pc wont start from usb only give me error "Boot error" and goes no futher than that i've tryed the Desktop and mini .iso ,what is different with alternate ? [04:56] i downloaded phpmyadmin, and when it asked i gave it my username and password... the problem is i "guess" is it went into a folder that wasn't where it should "i guess", so my friends had me edit the... i THINK it was /etc/drdt.e/hosts or something like that the drdt.e is clearly wrong [04:56] tr3nton: because if you opened Dash, think about it for a few seconds, then it's going to be like your typical menu category layout which is easier to scroll through looking at the sections to find apps based on those sections just like a Gnome or KDE menu... [04:56] I am not entirely sure, to be honest. I just know some machines prefer it. You are certain your motherboard supports booting from USB? [04:56] i edited that file, and added phpmyadmin 127.0.1.0 or something like that, so NOW i can go to http://phpmyadmin [04:56] and the login promt will come up, and thats where im at. they said i cant login probly becasue of a config error, and then my friend got tired and went to sleep and thas where im kidna stuck [04:57] actually it may have been host.conf [04:57] that i edited [04:57] tr3nton: so can Dash be made to look like that? [04:57] what i'd like is to make it where i can go to http//myip/phpmyadmin [04:58] Alexis15: k. Bear with me for a second. [04:58] Alexis15: do you know where your phpmyadmin config file is?

The config.inc.php is just a sample - it does not contain any of your information. [05:00] Alexis15: no. I lied. [05:00] Don't do that.

[05:01] yeah i just palmfaced couse of noobnes :) [05:01] Alexis15: PM me your config file contents so I can look through it. [05:02] hmm [05:02] akr: don't know that one. I've never created new categories. [05:02] i do /msg jthan and then what iw ant t osay? [05:03] so thats why im sortof giving up on usb and would like to try booting the install from onother partition with grub [05:03] akr: the only category I used much was the 'everything' category. I just scrolled down to the first letter and manually searched. Uggh, typing 4-5 letters faster for me now. [05:03] akr: theres several classic-gnome-menu indicator applets out for unity. and one to add a classic like menu to the panel. askubuntu.com should hve a list of them [05:03] jthan are you there [05:03] Alexis15: Yes - I'm talking in the PM [05:03] :-p [05:04] What irc client are you using? [05:04] sorry jthan my brother is calling me pls wait [05:04] I'll be here for awhile yet. [05:04] ok guys thanks [05:05] hey i am having problem in custmizer kit [05:05] plzzzz some body help me [05:06] New install of 12.04, everything works great EXCEPT I can't click in the top-right corner of any maximized app... clicks seem to go straight through to the desktop. [05:06] i custmizing ubuntu with cutmizing kit..but in end it said something went wrong ..your filesystem size is big then isofile..plz reduce your size [05:06] the little Close icon is there, but only about the left-most 3 pixels actually respond to a click.. everything else goes down to the desktop (if I right-click on the Close button then the desktop's right-click menu pops up) [05:07] jalal: so i imagine your filesystem cant be bigger then 700mb for a cd, or 4gb for aa dvd. [05:07] Anyone have any experience with that issue? [05:07] i am making a live cd [05:07] so what is solution [05:07] johnnycakes: Not something I have ever heard of or experienced. Did you check the forums out? [05:07] so you added so much stuff its bigger then what will fit on a cd.. remove stuff. [05:08] jthan, yup [05:08] johnnycakes: Alright. Give me a second. [05:08] jthan, making a new account to post on ubuntuforums.org with (since my old account doesn't seem to work anymore) [05:08] Good idea. [05:08] This is a tough one to pinpoint. If possible take screenshots.

[05:11] jthan, 193985 seems different than my issue (and is also unresolved hehe) but will check out 880449 [05:11] dr_willis: good to know. I haven't worked with LP in a LONG time [05:12] jthan, 880449 is related to the same thing as 193985... thanks for tryin tho :D [05:12] Of course they are related, but did you try the test case? It could be a similar issue. [05:12] but i imagine if its been released - it sould be out in a few days. check the date the release was fixed perhaps] [05:12] dr_willis: Just looked for that with little success. Ha. [05:13] jthan, my click-through problem is consistent, with every single window I maximize, regardless of whether anything has been minimized or not [05:13] jthan, also it's only a small square in the top-right corner that covers most of the close button [05:14] jthan, the menu bar (including the close button) work fine, but only the left-most part of the close button is clickable (when not maxed the whole close button works) [05:15] Any Conky pros here? Nobody ever chats in #Conky. I'm trying to setup weather.xtsl (or whatever that extension is) and I get some errors. [05:15] jthan, it's like there's a little 10x10px box floating in the top-right corner that's sending all clicks straight through to the desktop [05:16] johnnycakes: Yeah - I understand your description. Just don't know how to search for it anywhere. You are best to open up a forum post and maybe even file a bug if you can't find a resolution. Make sure to include your hardware specifics. [05:16] croz: probably not, only a dozen or so paying attention. I'm still waiting for a unity die-hard to help me. [05:16] jthan, yeah that's about the same conclusion I've reached... was hoping it was common enough that an IRC person might recognize it, despite it being a hard thing to google for [05:17] jthan, thanks anyway :) [05:17] johnnycakes: Certainly. Sorry I couldn't do more. [05:18] LOL now I'm trying to recover my password on the Ubuntu Forums... Random question I need to answer: "How many ears do most humans have?" I've tried "2" and "two" and with both it says the answer is incorrect!! rofl!! How many ears do you guys have?!? [05:19] Maybe they think you're deaf.

[05:47] GeekAdmin: with some patience and luck. yes. but a clean install may be much faster and reliable [05:47] GeekAdmin: Does 9.04 have the dist-upgrade command? [05:48] dr_willis: oh so I cant upgrade straight to 12.04? I'd have to upgrade each version? [05:48] !9.04 [05:48] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu.

[06:00] V3NG3NC3678, but am tried [06:00] spik3: wow is all i can say. sorry, no suggestions. good luck. [06:00] spik3, what does "sudo poweroff" do? Same thing? [06:01] how can i convert to M4V video. ffmpeg gives error. avidemux & handbrake dont support m4v. [06:01] shawnboy: handbrake does m4v [06:01] thanks zykotick9: hsunda3 will try that get back soon [06:01] shawnboy, I am guessing you are probably missing a codec or two [06:01] shawnboy, handbrake does so support it [06:01] V3NG3NC3678, would u help me for that case [06:02] i'll take another look... [06:02] shawnboy, where did you install handbrake from [06:02] hi, is serial port support enable in latest ubuntu ? cause when i try to connect on /dev/ttyS0 it says /dev/ttyS0 is not a terminal device ! [06:03] i want to connect to bochs [06:03] erol: If you look up /dev/ttys0, what does the node look like? [06:03] shawnboy: handbrake is probably your best bet for mp4/m4v. the packages if default ubuntu repo can't use AAC codec for legal reasons - so ffmpeg/?avconf don't support mp4/m4v by default [06:04] bazhang, been so long i dont remember. i only see mp4 or mkv [06:04] setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 answer /dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 [06:04] zykotick9, its only in a PPA afaik [06:04] bazhang: true [06:04] hsunda3: are you there ? sudo poweroff works [06:04] !info handbrake [06:04] Package handbrake does not exist in precise [06:04] erol: and are you a member of the dialout gruop? [06:04] bazhang, probably just apt-get [06:04] shawnboy: mp4 = m4v [06:04] V3NG3NC3678, would u help me for that case [06:04] mmh [06:04] spik3, ok :) [06:04] maybe not :) [06:05] spik3, I believe in the latest Ubuntu they changed the way shutdown / halt works .. it doesn't actually "poweroff" which only "poweroff" does now [06:05] shawnboy, no, its a PPA you would need to explicitly add [06:05] so i simply chang ext from mp4 to m4v and it's web M4V compatibleK [06:06] How can I fix shut down to shut down hsunda3 [06:06] shawnboy: in handbrake if you select mp4 it's gonna save it as an foo.m4v file [06:06] spik3, that I am not qualified to answer .. are you running Unity? The GUI way to shut down should automatically power off too, doesn't it? [06:07] V3NG3NC3678, [06:08] zykotick9, seems i remember it doimg that when i expected mp4. thanks for reminder [06:08] hsunda3: if you mean I go up to theshut down button and click shut down and all we go to is the login page [06:09] spik3, that shouldn't be happening. I am guessing it is happening because you upgraded, as opposed to a clean install. I guess you could file a bug? For now your best option is probably "sudo poweroff" via a terminal till someone offers a better suggestion [06:10] hsunda3: thanks for that I will keep asking around thank for your help [06:18] shouldn't my home directory be restricted by default to other users? drwxr-xr-x 34 user user 4096 Jul 5 04:31 user [06:19] aristidesfl: not by default that ive noticed [06:20] dr_willis interesting...... [06:20] lightdm/gdm and other dms can read some files from your users homes [06:20] for login icons and other things [06:22] dr_willis so I can just read other users files? [06:22] never noticed. try it and see [06:22] aristidesfl, I believe you can "see" what files other users have, but unless the file itself is readable you can't read the contents of the file [06:23] hsunda3 I've just created a new file, and it has read permissions to everyone -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 0 Jul 5 07:16 peca [06:23] sounds about right [06:24] yeah that file would be universally readable [06:24] :/ [06:24] unless a direcory bove it as not accessable. [06:25] of course if you encrypt your home... [06:25] does the gcc ecosystem have tools for profiling and getting callgraphs [06:26] (runtime callgraphs) [06:26] aristidesfl, I believe /etc/profile has a umask 022 which sets those permissions. If I understand you correctly, you want a umask of 077 instead [06:26] Hello, what the better messenger to Linux? [06:27] oops wrong channel [06:27] hsunda3 actually is 0002 [06:27] ewerton: huh? [06:27] aristidesfl, what? 0002 seems weird [06:27] that's what umask command says [06:27] ewerton, emacs [06:27] the better: empathy? pidgin? emesene? [06:27] aristidesfl, the output of your "umask" on the command prompt is 0002? [06:28] hsunda3 eys [06:29] oh yeah that makes sense, your default file permissions are -rw-rw-r-- ... but basically yeah you get the picture, the umask sets the default permissions [06:29] ewerton: try them all. decide for yourself [06:29] hsunda3 You can setup umask in /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile file for all users. By default most Linux distro set it to 0022 (022) or 0002 (002). Open /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc file, enter: [06:29] ... ok... [06:29] thks [06:29] aristidesfl, yeah that's what I was telling you earlier :P [06:30] but I sell don't understand what is the 1st zero for [06:30] thats for the special bit isent it? I recall reading about it once. [06:30] Just means it is octal [06:30] how would i add a .gif image as a background? im using ubuntu 12.04 [06:31] aristidesfl, dr_willis the leading 0 means octal [06:31] 0ctal vs octal ;) [06:32] would it be hard to infer? do we really need a zero? really? [06:32] yes [06:32] ;) [06:33] -.- [06:33] given how many of these commands and syntaxs have been in use for ages.. and may in fact be posix standards.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:40] gela: you mean the pc dosentg shut down? or the keybord dosent turn off its lights? [06:40] lights stay on [06:41] gela how did you try the shutdown? Did you use a command via the terminal or did you use the GUI? [06:41] gela: ...or the hidden option #3; There is a button on the keyboard that shuts down the computer in windows, but does not do the same in Ubuntu.

How can i do that? [06:50] I love ubuntu [06:50] hsunda3: I want to know how many physical CPU the server has :( [06:50] Just made the switch to linux [06:50] Ben64: Well it has been my experience that a workign livecd vs a broken installation = misconfiguration.

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.

[06:58] nandonachi, a min i would get you the links [06:58] !enter | lion [06:58] lion: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:59] how do i check if the dedicated graphics is running? [06:59] anyone? [06:59] i got error this >> something went wrong..yout filesystem is bigger then isofile,,please try to reduce [06:59] dr_willis: nice, but #dr_willis and @dr_willis looks fine too you know! :P [06:59] BlueEagle : What is the difference between Services and Process [07:00] nandonachi: @ on irc means the person is an OP. and # on irc starts a Channel Name... [07:00] gogli: Why are you asking me that? [07:00] plzzzz helppppppppppppppp [07:00] lion: I don't think that will get you any help... [07:00] lion: thats one way to get ignored... [07:00] BlueEagle : i'm very confuse in thsi words [07:00] gogli: In Linux the services are called deamons. All deamons have (at least) one process, but other applications also have (at least) one process. [07:01] but my iso not creating [07:01] dr_willis: ok! thanks a lot...but can you please tel me more about how ubuntu functions then...if it does not use the concept of run levels, it must use some similar mechanism?! [07:01] lion: What are you trying to do? [07:01] BlueEagle: any other suggestions for me? i'm about to restart into the installed 12.04. ben64__ is me on my cell phone [07:01] lion: so? we understand you have issues with that app.. but if no one knows.. no one knows.. [07:01] lion: The error message sais that the file system is bigger than the iso file. You need to determine the size of the file system and reduce the size of the file system to fit on the ISO-file. [07:01] i am try to build my costem ubuntu with my own tool [07:02] many remasterint tools have issues with 12.04 check the apps forums and support channels [07:02] Ben64: Sorry. The blacklist was my best bet. Next step is a clean install and if that doesnt work !bugs [07:02] BlueEgle : can't get it .I know demon is a Services but i want to know thw basic difference between services and process [07:02] BlueEagle: clean install isn't a solution :| [07:02] !tab | gogli [07:02] gogli: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:02] ok then..if i used ubuntu minix then how to add gnu in it? [07:02] i mean GUI [07:02] Ben64: If it fixes the issue then, to me, it is a solution. ;) [07:03] lion: use the package manager tools to insgtall what you want [07:03] !apt | lion [07:03] lion: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [07:03] BlueEagle: the same way that buying a new car is a solution to changing your oil [07:03] ubuntu minix doesnot give gui it give only COMMAND LINE INTERFACE [07:03] lion: .. yes... use the apt tools like the bot said.. [07:03] BlueEagle: can you explain me clearly [07:03] yah but in ubuntu minix how to get x server or gui [07:04] because there only cli [07:04] gogli: That was the clear explination. [07:04] lion: Please type the name of the person you are responding to. It is difficult to pay attention to the client at all times. [07:04] lion: you instll them.... using the apt tools....' apt-get ' [07:04] and its ubuntu minimal, minix is a totally differnt OS. [07:04] BlueEagle:ok ! , dr_willis : can you tell me the basic difference between services and process [07:05] gogli: If you need any clearifications you need to specify what needs to be clarified. Are you having issues understanding the fact that services are called daemons or that daemons and other applications all have one or more processes associated with them? [07:05] hey comon..you only confusing me..i rebuilt my system that fine..i will install with apt-get that also fine..but no gui..how to get GUI IN UBUNTU MINIX [07:05] gogli: thats like the differance btween a house and electrical wires... [07:05] dr_willis: thanks [07:05] gogli: services run services.... process is what a running app is. Go check wiki pedia. [07:06] lion: for one thing that's not in the ubuntu repos, so it's not supported here. Your error told you exactly what the problem is. The filesystem you want to write to the iso is too big. You have to remove some data/applications/etc. to reduce the size. [07:06] is it possible to know when php 5.4 will be available in ubunt repos ? [07:06] Hi, I have a Broadcom divice that seems to be having network authentication issues. Someone mentioned that it could be my wpa_supplicant not working because it had worked previously so I know my card supports it. Any help is appreciated. [07:06] ok how to remove all? [07:06] it will take time if i will go for remive single application [07:06] hsunda3: yeah, the dmidecode works just don't know 'Core Count' and 'Thread Count' :) [07:06] lion: why are you doing all this weird stuff anyway? [07:07] i am doing this stuff..i can learn much linux...more problem more learning [07:07] so... what where would stop my network card from showing up in ifconfig when the driver is most definately loaded? [07:07] lion: i think you need to do more reading of linux fundamentals.. [07:07] ruconse, are they the same? Are they different? Could you elaborate what you see and how you are interpreting what you see? [07:07] i am RHCE CIRTIFIED [07:07] lion: your approach ideally would have been to start with a minimal install and only add what you needed, then make the iso. [07:08] ben64__: wrong interfaces file? [07:08] ruconse, another option would be -> lshw -C processor (Sorry, just trying out things I know) [07:08] YESS I AM GOING TO USE ubuntu minix..which come with minimum packages..but in ubuntu minix how to get gui? [07:08] hsunda3: they're the same, showing Core Count: 12 Thread Count: 12 [07:08] also, i am unable to log in. the login screen pops right back up [07:09] hsunda3: and I have another Intel machine shows different values [07:09] lion: its 'minimal' not Minix. and you use apt-get to install what desktop you want. kde, gnome, or whatever.. use apt-cache search to determine package namnes [07:09] ruconse, with an Intel machine hyper threading might come into picture too [07:09] hsunda3: yeah, that's what I'm wondering [07:10] hsunda3: Core Count: 4 [07:10] apt-get install gnome will get gui interface in minix? [07:10] hsunda3: thread count: 8 [07:10] hsunda3: does it mean this physical socket has 4 cores and 8 threads? [07:10] lion: minix is not linux.... [07:10] Ubuntu minix? [07:10] BlueEagle , dr_willis : Process is instance of a running application and Service is process which run in background and assist others Process .................Is this right ? [07:10] lion: apt-cache search blahblah [07:11] lion: no such thing.. time to start useing the proper words... [07:11] ruconse, yeah my first quess would be a "quad core processor" with hyper threading enabled, thereby appearing as 8 logical processor units [07:11] gogli: Not necessarily. [07:11] any small linux which i can use for making custom os?with minimum packages? [07:11] BlueEagle: can you correct above statement ? [07:11] !ot | lion [07:11] lion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:11] lion: tons of minimal disrtos out there.. check out Tiny Core Linux. [07:11] ruconse, anything interesting in the output of "sudo lshw -C processor" ? [07:11] gogli: Wait, do you mean service as in web service or ftp service and such? [07:12] hsunda3: so the Intel machine has 8 processors in /proc/cpuinfo? [07:12] okies..it comes with gui? [07:12] BlueEagle : yup ! like apache , mysql etc [07:12] ruconse, yes the intel machine should show 8 processors in /proc/cpuinfo .. as in you should see upto "processor: 7" in there [07:12] lion: Most all disrtos can insgtall X and have a gui.. check its homepage.. yes it does. [07:12] ok so i will use this for making my custom os [07:13] hsunda3: yeah, it makes sense :) [07:13] gogli: Any and all applications that run in linux has got one or more processes connected to it. A daemon is an application that runs in the background. A service is one or a collection of deamons that interface with the outside world. So as dr_willis said; processes are the wiring and plumbing while a service is a house. [07:13] ruconse, but the AMD one is still bugging me thoug [07:13] and Ogres are Like onions... [07:14] hsunda3: the AMD doesn't support hyper-threading, and it has 4 physical socket: [07:14] Socket Designation: CPU1 to CPU4 [07:14] ruconse, understandable .. just that I would expect the processor count to be a power of 4 ... "46" just seems randomly out of nowhere [07:14] dr willi thanks for info brother [07:15] gogli: Typically a web server has got an apache deamon running which has got several processes running. Also some php, python or perl processes may be spawned by the apache daemon to serve some content. [07:15] hsunda3: the AMD has 48 logical units :) [07:15] aircrack-ng [07:15] processor 0 - 47 [07:15] ruconse, duh of course you are right [07:15] hsunda3: lol [07:15] BlueEagle: Thanks ! i got it === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [07:16] ruconse, yeah .. that would mean each "socket" has 12 logical units right? [07:16] BlueEagle : i think i'm very stupid : ) [07:17] hi, my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 will not authenticate wit my WPA personal 2 network. I know my broadcom wireless card supports it because it has worked previously. [07:17] !details | RKyle [07:17] RKyle: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:18] RKyle: You're missing the 2nd to last. [07:19] BlueEagle, Well when I try to connect to my network it tries to, then asks for my password for the network, then repeats. [07:19] BlueEagle : Is proxy have some life . Suppose i use some proxy server in network proxy of ubuntu .Will it work for me 1 month ? [07:20] hey i m unable to download torrents as the firewall is blocking it can anyone tell me how can i download the torrentz in ubuntu ?? may via tor or something ?? [07:20] ruconse, my guess is .. given that it is a Opteron 6238 (which is 16 cores) ... there are a total of 3 "physical CPUs" and if your machine has 4 physical sockets, one of them is empty === matze is now known as wylde_ [07:22] doesnot solving prbolem yet..plz some one tell me how to get gui in UBUNTU MINIMAL [07:22] http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ [07:22] I WANT TO ADD GUI IN THIS [07:23] lion: You should probably say what kind...

[07:24] i have problems with Zydas USB wifi [07:24] you mean you did installed a gnome desktop and you are still on cli mode? [07:24] lion: why not taking the official ubuntu minimal installation?

[07:26] so you basically dont knows that how to install gui in cli based os? [07:26] lion: on an official ubuntu you just need to install ubuntu-desktop and you will get a gui [07:26] wondring!!!!!!

[07:32] lion: why not use official ubuntu minimal CD [07:32] what's going in here? [07:32] which on eranvver? [07:32] lion: i told you the right way. if this is not working it the spi-offs fault [07:32] may i have ubuntu? [07:32] lion: so ask the spin-off guys [07:32] I need to upgrade gdb debugger. Why is there no ugrade button in software center in ubuntu, there is just remove? [07:32] !mini [07:32] I don't know how to upgrade gdb [07:32] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

After installing shorewall it will be in /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/two-interfaces/ directory. You will need to change the interfaces file and the rules file and you should be good to go. [07:36] gogli: What you need to be anonymous is a proxy server that encrypts the data between it and you and you need multiple people to connect through that proxy server. [07:37] gogli: I would not recommend googling for free proxy and use any of those results because all data you send to the proxy may be intercepted by the people running the proxy server.

Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [07:50] so what did they say differntly? :) not like cp is a complex command [07:50] Syria: man pages are your best friend [07:50] ranveer5289: I will remember that, Never used them before.

[08:14] hi dr willis [08:15] @whoami [08:15] GeekAdmin: Ok, then other options are install over network or connect the drive in another machine for installation [08:15] Is there any way we can get complete hibenate like effect after restarting? [08:16] GeekAdmin: the network one requires a bit of prep though, not the easiest way to install [08:16] dr_willis : Is there any way we can get complete hibenate like effect after restarting?

Ive tried specifying(export wineprefix) but same issue [08:32] optimight: id say rather low if you are refering to someone 'hacking into' your system while online.

[08:35] gogli: time to hit the search engines i guess. [08:35] I'm in gnome 3. I don't think there's any support for compiz anymore :( [08:35] optimight: default setup has no listening serices as far as i know. so its rather secure. [08:36] dr_willis: currently my Ubuntu installation is ...as it is done by dafault [08:36] Cop: you mean gnome-shell? or Unity? [08:36] dr_willis :but i can't find any other alternative .Could you help me ? [08:36] gogli: not really. I only use the BtGuard VPN/Proxy thing [08:36] dr_willis: gnome-shell [08:36] dr_willis: gtk 3 whatever you wanna call it. [08:37] Cop: no idea then. gnome-shell dosent really do extra workspaces the way most desktops do. === y is now known as Guest37983 [08:37] Gnome-shell and unity both are shells on top of gnome-3 [08:37] Gnome is trying to make a fricken iPad or OS or something with this DE. [08:37] check the gnome-shell extensions web site perhaps? [08:37] LOL. [08:37] I wanted translucency. [08:38] Can't get that. Sigh. [08:38] i tend to find transparent effects rather.. ineffective.. they just seem to make things harder to read [08:38] in linux it just lacks blur [08:38] due to performance issues [08:39] I wonder if there's a special version of windows 7 nice and light weight that I can dedicated to my VM. [08:39] Gah! [08:39] I'm on a laptop 4GB ram.. Dual core processor only.. [08:40] Might be a resource hog to install the normal version. [08:40] what is the package adding the contextual menu "mount archive with archive mounter' (or something like that) ? [08:40] You guys agree? [08:40] 'windows - resource hog' yes. [08:41] You know what I hate about gnome-shell is the lack of tilling. [08:41] omg, billions of crash reports [08:41] i think ive seen extensions for tileing in gnome-shell.'

How would you rate it out of 10? [08:46] 7,5 [08:46] ghostchick: are they any others that you've tried and prefer over it? [08:46] you know with wine you can add drives etc, how can you do that via terminal, any ideas? [08:47] Cop, for gnome shell it is the only developed extension for complete tiling [08:47] Cop, the tiling in kde is more elaborated though [08:48] AdvoWork: Why not use winetricks? [08:48] ghostchick: Not a KDE user. [08:48] ghostchick: Not a KDE user. [08:49] Hi I want to install apps offline. Synaptic has been removed in 12.04. How to install synaptic offline? [08:49] galacticboy: Gonna be hard as you need to download the installer package first [08:50] galacticboy, you can download it from the server on another computer then install it with the usb key [08:50] galacticboy: It won't have much effect except for managing installed packages though, since it requires an internet connection to install stuff [08:51] Hi, I connected my desktop PC to my laptop via cable. The laptop gets the internet via Wi-Fi. Now I want to forward some ports to my desktop. I know I have to use iptables (maybe there is a simpler tool for this?), but with not much luck. I tried shorewall also but same no luck here... [08:51] No i want use it to generate package download script. [08:52] galacticboy, then downloading it on another computer and then installing it would work [08:52] Ghostchick how to download from another computer? [08:53] galacticboy, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/synaptic [08:54] That will give deb files how to install it in offline computer? [08:54] you download the deb on an usb then dpkg -i it [08:54] That's it? [08:55] yup === sandertje is now known as sndrtj [08:55] You mean i need to download all listed deb files then dpkg -i?

[09:20] Can anyone help me with a netbook? I'm trying to put ubuntu in a USB, but I don't know exactly how to do with the "usb image creator". What option should I use in the reserved disk space? [09:22] BlouBlou: forget the reserved disk space - Not sure but I presume it for presurving user data between boots.. [09:22] hello [09:22] every one [09:23] dial-a-monkey1: will I be able to install ubuntu from that disk or does it only work as live usb? === zosk is now known as zoski === chrisl is now known as chrisl_away [09:25] BlouBlou: you can install from the USB. [09:26] dial-a-monkey1: Fine. I hope it will work with 1gb ram and 1.6 ghz. But if it worked with win7, it will do with ubuntu ;P [09:27] BlouBlou: No problems with those specs - except gnome 3 + unity can be a bit slow with just 1GB and 1.66 cpu [09:27] dial-a-monkey1: it has 2 cores, it may help [09:27] BlouBlou: I downgraded my Gnome to Gnome-classic = works faster on netbook === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [09:28] dial-a-monkey1: could you give me the link please? [09:28] the new shells seem to take a lot of RAM sometimes, about 300MB and more [09:28] it might be helpful [09:28] damn this optimus technology [09:28] BlouBlou: You can use the package manager - I think it's called Gnome-fallback if you find things running a bit slw === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [09:29] i tend to do full normal instgalls to my usb flash drives ;) works well on my netbooks [09:29] BlouBlou: I look - I have it here somewhere [09:29] gnome-shell reguralily uses about 300MB for me [09:30] dr_willis: well, that netbook worked fine with win aero, so I don't see any problem with unity [09:30] unity works well for me on my netbook. Lubuntu may be better if you want the old-skool look [09:30] BlouBlou: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed [09:30] gogli: I'm not going to help you do something illegal, in a sense it could be argued I'm saving you from yourself.

Be patient - if someone can assist they will respond. Otherwise, please wait. Ask again in an hour [09:35] jalal: your question is vague.. can you? most likely yes... [09:35] yes from 2 days i am in patient [09:35] now somone here told me for do that so i did..now my question ..can i make distribution live image using remastersys in virtualbox? [09:36] jalal: you should be able to remaster a new setup totally from within vbox. yes [09:36] you can do most everything in a vbox guest that you could on a 'real' pc [09:36] ok so i install this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal in vbox..now i need to install my own tool [09:39] dr_willis : i'm now studying VPN and i found many types of vpn like OpenVPN , Cisco VPN ,PPTP .I don't get it why this classification has been done .What are they used for ? Is they all have same functionality ? [09:39] open vpn work fine in linux [09:40] i used open vpn client from offshore [09:40] gogli: no idea. i only use the BTGuard service. Differnt implemtations of the VPN standard/service i imagine [09:40] gogli: if you use a VPN, you need another computer to connect to at the other end [09:41] wikipedia page for VPN may have a comparison === Jikai is now known as Jikan [09:41] jalal : all VPN work fine on linux .I have doubt that does PPTP is used to connect to windows and Cisco is to connect with Cisco network === Jikan is now known as Jikai [09:42] so if you know the differances... why where you asking us what the differances are? [09:43] jalal , dr_willis : if that so , is there any common vpn to connect with all networks [09:43] i insttall this now at boot time it giving me install or install from cli..how to boot into my actual insalled system? [09:44] How can I remove a repository that I added with add-apt-repository [09:44] ? [09:44] perhaps ask in #networking or #vpn for vpn info.

Is OpenVpn Safe for being anonymous ? [09:46] gogli: as I keep telling you, you'll be connecting to another server with a VPN, and that server has to belong to someone [09:47] i.e. you can be tracked via the other end-point [09:47] gogli for what purpose do you want to use vpn?hacking? [09:47] oh god i hate unity it's so laggy [09:47] vpn is easy to trace back [09:47] even on sandybridge 2.1 Ghz with 4 GB of ram and 1 Gb video [09:47] best method is vpn+tor(onion routing) [09:47] dr_willis: do you know if Unity doesn't load in usb image? [09:48] jalal : ok ! so , why we are using VPN ? [09:48] VPN + Jondo [09:48] people use vpn for pass there trffic encrypted and anonymous [09:48] dr_willis: I don't know if it doesn't load because it's not necessary, or if it doesn't support my graphic chip [09:48] some people do for hacking [09:48] dial-a-monkey1 : jondo ? [09:49] dwatkins, if you go pass through 2 VPNs wo doesn't give you a static IP it'll be verry hard to track ;) [09:49] 2 VPNs + open proxy [09:49] and you're the man :P [09:49] gogli: jondo = like to mixes packets = but no Bandwidth problems [09:49] gogli: Jondo = like TOR [09:50] vyrgozunqk: true, but for the purposes of breaking into a school network, I suspect this would get traced back [09:50] jalal : i think i should with vpn + jondo(tor) [09:50] how can I check if my netbook supports unity? [09:50] I'm from usb stick [09:50] gogli: I think you should simply ask for an account on the system instead of trying to break into it [09:50] jondo is new..but i guess it premuim.. [09:50] dwatkins, if he's not in the us he won't be tracked [09:50] and nobody will care [09:51] gogli: These days it's government trawling that is the threat [09:51] O god ! if i buy jondo , my parents kick my ass [09:51] no one is 100% anonymous.even you use vpn you can be traced backed via java script in your broswer and plugin or addon or flash [09:51] so remove all flash and disable java [09:51] or the fact you've hacked into a server and activated an account, often stuff is audited [09:51] jalal, have you heard about disabling javascripts, coockies and etc. ?!

The default resolution is 800x600 or less! Thanks. [09:54] whitehat hacking sucks [09:55] gogli: as I told you on the offtopic channel, if you're trying to break into your school server, don't.

[10:26] where can i get gnome-session-fallback themes? are they the same as any other unity theme? can I customize themes? [10:26] Ben64: I'm not sure there are any ready made themes [10:26] it's supposed to be a fall back, rather than a solution [10:27] Ben64: I'm sure you can make one looking at the existing theme file [10:27] well i can't stand unity, and i know many many others feel the same [10:27] Ben64: not interested in polls [10:27] and the feature may go away in the future. [10:27] Ben64: if you don't like unity, don't use it, there are many other options [10:27] apparently not? [10:27] Ben64: kde, gnome-shell, xfce, etc, pick the one that best fits your needs. [10:27] Someone is getting kicked [10:27] Ben64 [10:28] Be careful [10:28] :P [10:28] Mohamad_Rabee: please stop with the commentory, no-one is getting kicked [10:28] i like gnome-panel but dislike unity. is there no option for me then? [10:28] Lol [10:28] Ben64: gnome shell ? [10:28] lubuntu is good if you want the old school type gui [10:28] I see [10:28] It's a laptop for devolpers [10:28] ikonia: aren't I on gnome shell know? [10:29] or use a dock with unity [10:29] Ben64: no, you're on unity [10:29] now* [10:29] I am most definately not on unity right now. no top bar, no side bar [10:29] Ben64: sorry, I thought you said you where running unity, but didn't like it, [10:29] Ben64: the default desktop for ubuntu is now unity, [10:30] Ben64: there is an alternative shell called "gnome-shell" which is what canonical are trying to replace with unity [10:30] right. but then i installed gnome panel [10:30] Ben64: that means you can run gnome3 with the gnome-3 "gnome-shell" [10:30] so... where can i get or customize themes? [10:30] Ben64: themes for what ? [10:31] i've been using 10.04 since 2010, and I don't know all about these new fangled things [10:31] gnome [10:31] hi again [10:31] Ben64 gnome what ? [10:31] Ben64: there are many components to gnome [10:31] Ben64: things like "unity" (for example) will effect themes, [10:31] how can I tell? [10:31] you'll need to be specific [10:32] unity has some very handy features. hud. lens. quicklists. [10:33] don't know what any of those mean. I just cannot stand the combined top menu bar [10:33] Ben64: have you considered something like lubuntu or kubuntu ? [10:33] thats disabableable.... [10:33] global menu can be turned off [10:33] Ben64: what you class as "gnome" will fade away more and more as more gnome 3 features take the place [10:33] ikonia: I tried both in VM and not really liking those [10:34] Ben64: you're going to have to either start accepting some of the changes or moving to a different desktop [10:34] they're going to get rid of simplicity? [10:35] Ben64: gnome2 is dead, gnome3 is now, it works very different than gnome2 and it's components and as it evolves fall back features and transitional features will stop [10:36] Ben64: then ontop of that, gnome-shell is not on canonicals map, they are pushing unity, so again that's another layer [10:37] that leaves me in a tough choice in two years [10:37] Ben64: many people are preparing and migrating now, I'd suggest you take that approach also [10:38] 2years is a looong time in computer years. ;) [10:38] to kde? [10:38] wayland may be used then. [10:38] Ben64: to whatever best suits your needs, eg: configure gnome how you like it, move to xfce, etc etc. [10:38] all the other ubuntus get much less support and don't work as well [10:38] Ben64: that's not really true [10:39] Ben64: they have just as good teams working on it, the difference is canonical are pushing gnome and unity as a business [10:39] Ben64: Ubuntu gets economic support, just that [10:39] I had xubuntu installed on my laptop for a while, it was true then [10:39] the other distros are maintained by the community [10:39] Ben64: the other distros are the same base product, with different desktops [10:39] lubuntu works well for me. [10:39] it's only the desktop and related components that differ [10:40] from what I was told, unity is not configurable [10:40] don't listen to what you've been told [10:40] try it [10:40] ask for help with what you want to change [10:40] how could I make it have a gnome-panel type (or actually gnome-panel) bottom panel. And remove the entire top bar? [10:40] it wasn't time ago, was really bad, now you can configure it by using compizconfig-settings-manager and few other programs [10:40] Ben64: if I tell you unity is the most configurable thing in the world, that doesn't make it true for your needs and perspective [10:42] Ben64: (I've not read this fully) but this thread gives an overview of basic configuration options http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity/101415#101415 [10:42] Ben64: I've only skimmed that, but it's worth a read to see if there are things you can use and then focus in on more [10:43] hmm, my modem-router only supports PPPoA for bridge mode, would it be possible for me to set up connection through ubuntu server? [10:44] i want to take off a much job off router as possible, since it's often hanging up/dhcp, nat crashing etc [10:49] my cpu is 64bits, but I have just 1gb memory, should I use ubuntu64 or 32? since 32 uses lesss ram [10:49] BlouBlou: amd64 [10:49] BlouBlou: always use amd64 when the cpu supports it [10:49] BlouBlou: you won't see a difference either way in reality [10:50] ikonia: I forgot checking it and I installed 32 [10:50] BlouBlou: you'll be fine [10:50] BlouBlou: I see no reason to change [10:50] great :> [10:51] ikonia: I should got a coffee before installing ;P [10:54] i custmize my linux now i want theme ..how to instal theme? [10:55] jalal: It depends from which DE you're using [10:55] and which WM [10:55] ubuntu dpeendcies [10:55] i install gnome shell also [10:55] gnome-look.org [10:55] my os look black and white now i want some good looking effect adn theme [10:56] i install this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing [10:56] sorry this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal [10:56] that's a PPA, not a theme file [10:56] hi guys - is it possible to recover internet files (js file to be specific) from cache in its original structure/format ?

[11:09] drag0nius it's not in ubuntu, it's in the router [11:09] maybe ubuntu is his router? [11:10] its archaic, but possible :) [11:10] i'm using some shitty router-modem and want to put everything possible onto ubuntu server [11:10] Zwick if he were skilled enough to make his pc his router, he neednt ask that question :) [11:10] I have a working Lan and wifi connection on the same pc however I want to be able to use my lan connection for the regular stuff and the wifi for the connections that are blocked by our firm [11:10] I was just throwing possibilities on the wall :) [11:10] without disconnecting the lan [11:10] got everything working but bridge mode [11:11] drag0nius read your router's manual [11:11] Paulus, for most stuff like that, you would have to disable one and get an ip from the other [11:11] Monkey, I have a question for you. [11:11] paulus we won't help you break the company rules. [11:12] 12.04 apparently has issues with nvidia, when I run the install with nouveau=blacklist1, I can get the install to work, but after the install is there, and I reboot, then all I get is a black screen. [11:12] er, nouveau.blacklist=1 [11:12] sorry, its early. [11:12] why blacklist [11:12] Zwick it's a known issue, type !nomedeset [11:13] Zwick it's a known issue, type !nomodeset [11:13] How do I type that before it boots when I never have video? [11:13] the thing is there is nothing about bridge mode other than mentioning it's there [11:13] in the manual [11:13] (i'm relatively new to linux) [11:13] !nomodeset [11:13] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:13] Zwick type it here in the channel [11:13] drag0nius: first make sure bridge mode is enabled [11:13] hey con someone help me with a conkey error? [11:13] conky* [11:14] I got this problem [11:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1295621 [11:14] same as that person did [11:14] Zwick: i do run 12.04 on my laptop, but LTS 10.04 on my server [11:14] however I backed up my conky fiels boefore trying to edit them [11:14] but it seems that somethign is messed up and I can't fix it [11:16] I'm even up for a clean removal and reinstallation, but when I tried that i still get the errors [11:16] i kinda dont know what should i expect of bridge mode, should it retrieve IP from ISP? Heres how router setup differs from bridge: [11:16] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20549048/Images/ScreenSnip038.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20549048/Images/ScreenSnip039.jpg [11:17] drag0nius: contact your hardware vendor for support with your router please. [11:17] paulus68, i don't know the actual answer to your question, but the way i'd try going about it is: first check whether Network-Manager allows having two connections at a time, and if not, discarit and set up networking manually. then set up a proxy and tell it (assuming it's possible) to only use a sprecific route, the wifi's one. then use two different browsers, one with the proxy (or a single browser if you can find a way to quickly switch proxy on/off, i [11:17] think there are extensions for that for the most popular browsers) [11:17] V3NG3NC3: You marked that thread as solved. I am confused [11:17] drag0nius: in bridge mode, the router will act as modem, and any login to your isp will be done on another box [11:18] how i install theme in my cutom os [11:18] that was for that other person who had prolly forgot to add "TEXT" or something [11:18] plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [11:18] helppppppppppppppppppppp [11:18] it didn't fix my issue [11:18] jalal: don't do that [11:18] is this still true for half-bridge mode? [11:18] jalal: what is your "custom OS" anyway, this channel only deals with Ubuntu [11:18] drag0nius: I think so [11:18] i install this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal, now i want good graphical looks [11:18] V3NG3NC3: Show us your conyrc. And are yu getting the exact same error.

[11:19] I guess so [11:20] i found somewhere that there is no generic software for setting up pppoa connection [11:21] yea getting same error [11:21] rebooting linux machine [11:21] jalal: i can only guess - get a GTK theme from the repos ("apt-cache search gtk theme"), and use "gtk-theme-switch" to set it [11:21] i've tried pppoeconfg, but it does not find pppoe on any interface [11:21] crashed for some reason [11:21] hi [11:22] hi [11:22] hello [11:22] hai [11:22] xin chun ge de yong sheng!

[11:53] AdvoWork: use ssh-keys [11:53] AdvoWork, private/public keys [11:53] klj613: find . -name "*.ini" -exec grep 'pattern' /dev/null {} + [11:54] AdvoWork: ssh-copy-id is easiest way [11:54] geirha, thanks [11:56] klj613: The /dev/null is just a trick to get grep to output filename:line. If you provide grep with only one filename, it just outputs the matching lines, two or more, it prepends filename: to each line [11:57] geirha, thanks for explaining that :) [11:58] hey what is the command to ding someone ? [11:58] liek the command then their name? [11:58] to get their attenion [11:59] geirha: actually grep -H -n will output filename and line [12:00] hateball: With GNU grep, yes. -H is a GNU extension. I prefer to use portable code when possible.

[13:02] dwatkins, repeated installation failure [13:02] probably because of the "fails to install" part [13:02] ah ok, you might have to find another USB stick, sleepie^eyes [13:02] Ah, ok. Just thought I'd ask see if anyone else had an idea [13:02] Thanks [13:02] sleepie^eyes: depending on the reason for the failure, it might be that the hard disk is failing [13:03] dwatkins, Not in this case, its Ubuntu alpha [13:03] 12.04 won't even start [13:03] sleepie^eyes: unless you find out why the install fails, or you get a new usb, you might be out of luck...

[13:42] good morning.... how i can active the interface in console? [13:42] Hi. Does apticron send emails by itself, or does it use something like postfix? The reason why I am asking is because I have it set up, and I have my gmail address in the EMAIL line on the conf, but it's not sending emails to me for package updates. [13:42] alejo_ol, startx [13:42] just make a sudo export [13:42] to see wchich variable goes ok, otherwise runa command [13:42] helpcrypto: A sudo export? [13:42] like uname -a or lsb_release [13:43] export shows the env variables [13:43] interface net [13:43] helpcrypto: Sorry im not sure I understand you mate [13:43] I could use uname -a instead of OSTYPE? [13:44] alansaul: run "sudo export" [13:45] that are the variables set for the root/sudoer [13:45] says "sudo: export: command not found" [13:45] im'sorry.. net interface [13:45] alansaul: probably its my mistake. i just want to run export as sudo [13:46] anyway, probably you will need a lsb_release or uname -a [13:46] or something differente to detect the system [13:46] helpcrypto: Okay, with a regex I think uname -s will do :) [13:47] alansaul: bye then ;) [13:47] helpcrypto: Thanks very much, your a star [13:48] What does apticron use to send update emails?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:52] alejo_ol, have you added a netwrok card or changed one? [13:53] gogli: who was that for? apticron is most definitely ubuntu.

[14:07] hi [14:07] x1k: yeah. But when i go to chrome play store , it says that webGL is supported but disabled etc. SO i have to use google-chrome --ignore-gpu-blacklist [14:08] i run an ubunti 12.04 server and think about using ubuntu's typo3-src-4.5 instead of a self managed [14:08] but the typo3 there is version 4.5.10 while 4.5.17 is out [14:08] normally most typo3 releases fix critical bugs [14:09] hi.... when i try to open any .svg file my computer starts going entirely wacko. CPU goes to 100% and memory gets used 100%. the process 'eog' seems responsible. I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [14:09] so should i expect that ubuntu's typo3 is less secure than using always the latest from the typo3 website? [14:09] liam: in chrome, type "about:flags" [14:10] liam: looks for "Override Software Rendering List" and make sure it's enabled [14:11] liam: then relaunch Chrome [14:12] x1k: a few minutes ago you asked alejo_ol if they don't have an ubuntu GUI at all. that's what i'm experiencing since last night (lenovo x120e). have you seen it reported by many users lately?

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [15:14] Natrist: have you tried what everyone suggested? typing "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?

[15:44] abcdefv, did you install ubuntu to it's own partition , is that what you did ? [15:44] quixotedon: yes, it's installed onto its own partition, but I installed it within virtualbox [15:44] so when I reboot my machine into ubuntu, I get the blinking cursor (I assume before grub?) [15:45] Hi together, i've the following problem on my ubuntu desktop 12.04: i've installed conky, now everytime i click on the desktop conky disapears, any suggestions? [15:46] abcdefv, hold down the left shift key right after the bios screen until grub appears if you actaully installed ubuntu to it's own partition, not a virtual one with VB [15:49] BluesKaj, once grub appears, anything else I need to do? I don't know the terminology, but I'm afraid that it might be trying to boot from a location that doesn't actually exist [15:51] If I have paused a running process with z, how do I start it again? [15:51] (because I did install inside virtual box (I had to create a raw vmdk that points to the partition)) [15:52] abcdefv, not if you created a proper partition ,grub should appear [15:52] I know I can type bg to have it continue as a bg process, but how to bring it back to foreground? [15:54] conked: have you tried setting different values for own_window_type in your ~/.conkyrc yet? it probably disappears because by default nautilus is controlling the desktop [15:54] conked, if I remember correctly, it has to do with own_window_type option in its configuration file.

(No other inputs affect anything; ctrl + alt + del does not restart) [16:05] Ah good idea. But bazhang can I make it happen only in #ubuntu ? or is that possible [16:06] abcdefv: correct .. in default grub configuration yes, try reviewing your grub setup in /etc/default/grub to confirm [16:06] RipStik, depends on the client, which one are you on [16:07] bazhang: I can't figure out what clients are. [16:07] glitsj16, alright thanks. Since I can boot into the ubuntu partition from within virtualbox, I think I will have it force show grub from there. should I change any other settings? [16:08] RipStik, thats the gateway client, should be a setting toggle in the top left if I recall correctly, you can ask further in #freenode channel [16:09] bazhang: Thanks anyway but I think I'll just leave it as it is. [16:09] abcdefv: i'd try changing grub's defaults one by one first, but it doesn't hurt dropping your /etc/default/grub to a pastebin of your choice and let people confirm there's nothing weird in it [16:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1076645/ [16:13] abcdefv: looks good .. an old trick i use sometimes is installing a second kernel to get grub2 out of its hidden state, but what's there is pure defaults yes [16:13] thanks glitsj16, I'll give that a shot too just to be sure [16:15] abcdefv, that make grub not show on startup? [16:16] boii, the problem right now is a blinking cursor when I boot into my ubuntu partition (which I installed from virtualbox in os x).

[18:32] L3top, I also created a partition on the SSD using Fdisk for a linux-native environment, if that helps any. [18:32] L3top np thanks [18:33] It was not done within Ubuntu, just with the Ultimate Boot Disk :) [18:33] undersound: I am confused by that. I would think it would exist. My sources are weird. I use the mirrors technique... and it exists for me... so I can't really check which repo it should exist for you in. [18:34] I'm unsure if I had grub on the system (though if it was default, it probably is there). [18:34] If I need to reinstall grub, can I do that from rescue mode? It looks like I can repair it but that may be different than installing it [18:34] Zwick1204: ubuntu does not see it. At all. You also have no swap drive or anything. You have a very odd formatting scheme natively... however if fdisk doesn't find it... I am at a bit of a loss. [18:35] window manager. how to figure it, i dint understand you helper [18:35] checking now voldyman_. Out of curiosity, are you blind, or is this just an audio experiment? [18:35] When I Installed ubuntu, Win7 was originally on the SSD, and I formatted the SSD afterwards.

[18:36] I am trying to mount my iphone4 5.1.1 using ifuse but keep getting an error from gnome-keyring. anyone that can help me troubleshoot? [18:37] oops , my mistake scocos , ignore the previous post [18:38] undersound: as an experiment, backup your /etc/apt/sources.list again and http://pastebin.com/Vka4m8Fd try that... apt-get update and install again.

[19:49] Is there a way to transport my data from an existing 12.04 installation to a new one without doing a big backup?, I mean just transporting the files in Documents, Images and Videos folder [19:50] wilornel: actually it is ##c++ [19:50] Tonmaster: Then you will only have that data, and not all the rest you might need. [19:50] guntbert: alright thanks :) [19:51] It seems my grub is borked.

It goes to "device not found" string of device ID that I didn't write down, and then I get a grub rescue> prompt [19:54] illannoyed: have you tried update-grub from rescue? Might require remount with write perm [19:54] not yet.

It looks like this is occurring while trying to mount the root filesystem. If I boot to the CD, rescue mode can mount it without issues.

I've already checked the box under properties, and Open with > Wine won't work [20:43] I'm sure there's something to do with Terminal [20:44] OrtonEdge32dh, not that I recall , just clicking the file should open wine or right click open with [20:44] I tried that, it just gives me the "loading" cursor for a while and then stops [20:44] OrtonEdge32dh: or just terminal -> $wine /path/tofile.exe [20:45] I have a keyboard shortcut on my laptop that, in Windows, locked the screen. It's useless in Ubuntu 12.04 and I was wondering if I could assign that key to lock the screen again. Is there some kind of assigning program I can use for keys? [20:47] It keeps not being able to find the file [20:47] Can I assign this otherwise useless key in Ubuntu to lock my screen? [20:48] Spectacle_K: the default is ctrl + alt + L [20:48] Hi, is apparmor on topic? [20:48] I know what the default is, but I wanted to assign just that one button to do it. [20:50] lost_and_unfound: Is there a way to assign the key to lock my screen? Or am I stuck with ctrl+alt+l? [20:50] BluesKaj: I expect he will return with problems because he is trying to manually install a newer fglrx/catalyst driver over the proper one. It wasn't JUST that he refused to give me the output of top... I told him he had the correct driver. [20:50] Spectacle_K: not running 12.04 here, but have you looked under "keyboard" as that is where the shortcuts are generally assigned [20:51] Spectacle_K: you might be able to override the deault(s) there [20:51] depends mgriffin... what is the issue?

[20:53] In the Downloads folder [20:53] BluesKaj: I expect I am much lower on the karma rung than you. You are probably correct. [20:53] I'm already there. Whenever I try and push the button I want to use to lock the screen it shows up as the letter 'l'. [20:53] hey i have a problem i cant install wine it says that package dependecies cannot be resolved [20:53] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=Linux" i tried this in order to dim my backlight,,it faild,,i did something like this before and it did work can some help with this matter [20:53] OrtonEdge32dh: try this in terminal $ wine ~/Downloads/file.exe [20:54] L3top, heh, somehow I doubt that :) [20:54] OrtonEdge32dh: have you configured wine yet? [20:54] I think so...? [20:54] Spectacle_K: remove the current sortcut (should be something like del or backspace) then try again [20:54] !wine | OrtonEdge32dh make sure you check the compatability database [20:54] OrtonEdge32dh make sure you check the compatability database: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:55] Already tried. [20:55] I don't know why the lock button is showing up as 'l' [20:55] It told me to install Mono [20:56] Literally, there's a key on my keyboard that has a padlock symbol on it. In Windows, it locked the screen. It doesn't do anything in Ubuntu and I'd like to use that instead of ctrl+alt+l because it's just so much simpler for me. And I keep pressing it out of habit. [20:57] hey i have a problem i cant install wine it says that package dependecies cannot be resolved [20:57] Where's the latest Mono? [20:57] I need it to run anything [20:58] OrtonEdge32dh: you probably want to /join #winehq [20:58] OK, totally unrelated question can someone please tell me why my trash bin got renamed 'rubbish bin'. And how that happened. It's funny, I like it... but how did that happen? [20:59] OrtonEdge32dh, The mono compiler package is mono-gmcs, if you need the entire mono stack, install the package mono-complete . current is mono-gmcs 2.10.8.1-1ubuntu2.1 [20:59] OrtonEdge32dh: I expect it is some iteration of libmono [20:59] oh... nm OrtonEdge32dh... listen to OerHeks [20:59] Not entirely what any of that means [20:59] I'm not really a computer guy [21:00] OrtonEdge32dh, so what howto are you using? [21:00] OrtonEdge32dh: to install packages from terminal, sudo apt-get install xxxx where xxxx is the package name. OerHeks gave you the lightweight and full bore versions to install [21:01] I understood L3top just now, so hopefully that works. I don't know what a howto is, really [21:01] OrtonEdge32dh: a "how to" is also called a tutorial [21:01] oh, well that makes sense [21:01] [21:01] I'm not using one [21:02] "It told me to install Mono" ?? [21:02] it being terminal [21:04] Is there a way to restart X from a tty without having to close all of my running programs? [21:04] melkor: No. [21:04] melkor: what bekks said, you have to kill all programs if you restart [21:04] X [21:04] EVIL SYSTEM [21:04] (sorry keyboard is being evil) [21:05] My input wasn't working, I could move the mouse, but it was stuck as a certain type of pointer and clicking wouldn't respond. I could get to other tty's [21:05] hey i have a problem i cant install wine it says that package dependecies cannot be resolved [21:06] studio: how are you trying to install it [21:06] melkor: ubuntu software center [21:07] melkor: and from terminal [21:07] studio: do you have any active PPAs? [21:07] l3top:i think so [21:07] how can i see that [21:08] studio: this is likely the problem. You can check the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d [21:08] Hi ... how do I get a list of IRC rooms in Empathy (Precise) [21:09] studio, look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [21:10] How long after a new version of FireFox or GIMP is released will I be able to use them on Ubuntu?

[21:17] OerHeks, haha, yeah, im just kinda playing with the server so i added gnome to it [21:17] l3top:output [21:17] odie5533: packages are updated before new version of ubuntu comes out.

I'm running Ubuntu on VMWare on Mac OSX. I set VMWare to connect via NAT. When I go to the Network Manager and make an automatic connection, everything works. Then I go to term and type ifconfig. I then make a new connection based on the data in ifconfig. The host computer can access the VM, but the VM cannot access the internet. I've copied the information in ifconfig, but apparently, that's not enough? [22:38] this is probably a common question, but why isn't apt-get / aptitude update working for 12.04 ? [22:38] eg W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [22:38] 0erHeks:why you say that [22:39] studio: show "find /etc/apt/ -iname '*.list' -exec grep '^[^#]' '{}' +" [22:39] studio, i checked the first missing depency "dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2~) but 1.16.1.2ubuntu7 is to be installed' and i think you need to update first, because i have 1.16.1.2ubuntu7 current.

Basically I am trying to setup a wifi hotspot using my laptop to let my ipod connect to it to let it access the internet. I used the standard network gui and it did create a network and my ipod did detect and join. Only problem is that the ipod said that there is no internet access on this network. How I am doing this wrong? Used an ad-hoc n [22:39] etwork and then tried an infrustucture one with the same results. Thanks in advance [22:39] Kevin` make sure yu don't have a graphical software installer running [22:39] TheEmpath: you need the gateway set too [22:39] MonkeyDust: I don't [22:39] Kevin`: Intreguing.

In more, I have the home directory encrypted (EFS) only this '/home/myusername'. Have you idea how to get access to my account? Thanks [23:42] root@A:/home/x# chgrp wheel /usr/bin/su chgrp: invalid group: `wheel' [23:43] you would need to create the group addgroup wheel [23:44] then add those who can access the su command to it like root [23:44] marsfligth: restart into recovery mode and drop to the root shell and run "pw yourusername" [23:44] er pretty sure the sudo group is "admin" [23:44] marsfligth: u can then input the password you want since this will overide ur old password [23:44] marsfligth, boot to single user mode and change the root passwd or your user account password with passwd [23:45] daptordarattler, think you are getting confused with osx or something [23:45] vox: i think that is the 'sudo' group now [23:45] Ghosthunter007: i dont think ubuntu has used the 'wheel' group for many, many years [23:45] escot: ive done that in ubuntu before "passwd " [23:45] Well... [23:45] isn't it better to do something like: [23:45] alias sudo su=sudo?

I want to prevent it [23:46] glitsj16: there is a sudo group, but there isnt usually any users in it - that's handed off to the admin group [23:46] Ghosthunter007: ahh fair point [23:46] sudo -i or sudo -s [23:46] daptordarattler: thanks for answered. I tried but I get 2 errors. First one it says that can't lock 'shadow', second one, when I type 'passwd username' and enter, it doesn't offer to change the passwor, it just skip all [23:46] why is the updater in 12.04 NOT asking for a password to install new packages? (sudo password is not cashed, system was a fresh boot) [23:47] Ghosthunter007: well, how can I force alias to accept "sudo su"? [23:47] alias sudo su=sudo [23:47] vox: thanks for explaining [23:47] Megabyte: please dont use sudo su [23:48] Megabyte: sudo su is the wrong way for a root-shell [23:48] iceroot: I want an alias to make sudo su become "sudo" [23:48] r u typing passwd with ur username or "passwd username" directly? [23:48] i.e, so users will actually be redirected to sudo [23:48] Megabyte: and i told you that sudo su is wrong [23:48] in ubuntu su is old school its not wrong it just not a common practice in Ubuntu [23:48] in real unix system su is still used [23:48] Megabyte, are you trying to blacklist for security reasons or just discourage bad behavior? [23:48] Ghosthunter007: sudo su is wrong in every distro [23:49] escott: both [23:49] Ghosthunter007: because its setting the env incorrectly [23:49] Ghosthunter007: you are calling su as root because you already did sudo which will mess up the env [23:49] su = switch user [23:49] Megabyte: why are you letting users run commands as root when they don't know how to use sudo properly? [23:50] Ghosthunter007: we are talking about "sudo su" which means "get root access with sudo and then call su as root" [23:50] Kevin, there is only one user here [23:50] me [23:50] :P [23:50] Ghosthunter007: and that is wrong [23:50] hi [23:50] Megabyte, from a security standpoint blacklisting is rather ineffective [23:50] Megabyte: why can't you just remember not to type sudo su then? [23:50] I see [23:50] Kevin, I did say both [23:51] Megabyte, but you can put !su in the sudoers config file [23:51] I guess I'll just add the "wheel" group [23:51] !su?

[23:54] Megabyte: you forgot dash, zsh and so on. as you see blacklisting is always unsecure [23:54] iceroot: I didn't... it was on that link escott mentioned [23:54] as the solution [23:54] Megabyte: and what about "sudo passwd"? and then just using "su -"? [23:54] Megabyte: ln -s /bin/bash foo; sudo ./foo [23:55] Megabyte: or sudo sed on /etc/shadow to write down a new hash as a password, so su - will work [23:55] Megabyte: just realise that blacklisting is unsecure [23:55] System messages are messing up my screen. How do I repaint X without having to resort to ctrl+alt+bksp? Google tells me there's something called xrefresh? [23:56] blacklisting is also pointless, all it's doing is preventing you from easily doing something if you need to later [23:56] mophead: maybe ctrl + alt + f1 and then ctrl + alt + f7 [23:57] iceroot: just tried that; system message is still up. [23:57] Hi, where does my "simple-scan" store temp files of its scanned images? [23:57] Ctrl+R just repaints everything in the background, leaving the sys message where it is. [23:58] Anyone have any idea? :) [23:59] Trying to install, Using advanced partitioning, and it says no roof file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu. But I have the main partition set for ext4 mount point /home. ?
