| flan_suse | I can't find any information online that explains this. | 00:00 |

| jordan__ | Lsusb detects my wireless adapter but iwconfig doesn't, anyone know what could be the cause of this? | 00:01 |
| OerHeks | flan_suse, AES-cbc , >> http://blog.markloiseau.com/2012/05/ubuntu-aes-xts-plain64/ | 00:03 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: I actually read that article like 5 minutes ago. | 00:03 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: However, in the comments he says he's unsure about 12.04 (that they might have changed it to XTS.) | 00:04 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: That's why I'm asking in here, just in case someone else used the alternate installer for 12.04 and knows if the default has been changed. | 00:04 |
| flan_suse | And if the default is the same, does the 12.04 alternate installer allow you to choose the cipher? | 00:05 |
| === lloir is now known as Lloir|ZzZzZz | ||
| OerHeks | flan_suse, afaik it still is. | 00:06 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: Thank you. I hope it allows you to choose another cipher (such as aes-xts-plain) | 00:06 |
| Rcart | hey there. I've installed a minimal ubuntu 12.04, just the core and then creating a base system. Now I'm fine about it. I've some problems, like the OSD notification system. I've installed notify-osd but have no notification from apps like pidgin or any other :S | 00:07 |
| OerHeks | flan_suse, well, you can, according to that article, i also noticed the watermark vunerability. | 00:08 |
| aguitel | why unity and gnome 3 are too ugly ? | 00:08 |
| Rcart | when I'm do notify-send it works great. Any idea? Btw, I'm running fluxbox | 00:09 |
| OerHeks | aguitel, tweak unity with myunity :-) | 00:09 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: He uses the live CD (not the alternate installer) so he manually runs cryptsetup commands and specifies aes-xts-plain64. | 00:09 |
| aguitel | OerHeks, to look like gnome 2? | 00:09 |
| flan_suse | OerHeks: However, the last time I've done this (10.04), I had to use his approach as well, since the alternate installer did not let me specify the cipher mode (from what I remember.) | 00:10 |
| === jordan__ is now known as jqk | ||
| jqk | is there a command to enable wifi? | 00:10 |
| OerHeks | aguitel, no, why? try to tweak it with smaller icons, autohide and behaviour ( gnome2 is dead ) | 00:11 |
| OerHeks | flan_suse, maybe the minimal cd is an option? not for whole disk encryption ofcourse | 00:11 |
| studio | arguitel: i agree with 0erHeks | 00:12 |
| vicesquad | L3top: thanks for all the help earlier, issue with the backlight seems resolved, as I see laptop screen on reboots | 00:12 |
| studio | arguitel:download compiz settings manager from ubuntu software manager | 00:13 |
| studio | arguitel:this is a useful tool for customization | 00:13 |
| OerHeks | aguitel, else there is a gnome-panel or gnome-shell ( plain gnome3) | 00:14 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 00:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:14 |
| OerHeks | but i really hoop you spend a little time to learn to know each other. | 00:15 |

| samster34 | I did run nvidia-xconfig, and it did create a config, but x still won#t start, saying "screens found, but none have a usable configuration" | 00:16 |
| OerHeks | samster34, did you try to reset your monitor with its own little buttons to default? sometime it helps | 00:17 |
| samster34 | reset it to what? | 00:17 |
| samster34 | nothing in the OSD changes resolution, display frequency or anything | 00:18 |
| samster34 | and the other screen doesn't even have an OSD | 00:19 |
| samster34 | all it has is a brightness setting | 00:19 |

| roasted | Question - is there a name of the VNC service that Ubuntu uses? I can SSH into my box but VNC is failing... curious if I could just reboot the service... | 00:21 |
| samster34 | roasted: it might just be xvnc, but I'm not sure | 00:22 |
| Blue1 | roasted: vncserver | 00:22 |

| silverarrow | hi | 00:26 |
| memetic | I've run into a problem trying to install nvidia 259.59 for my gtx 560ti under Ubuntu 12.04. I did service lightdm stop, ran the installer, rebooted and got an error under /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log, 'Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module' | 00:26 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know about old ibooks and ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| memetic | I've apt-get install'd build-essential and the linux kernel header. | 00:26 |
| Sona | hello i just checked running processes with glances.py and i have a "migration/4" process taking 88% cpu, why is this? | 00:27 |
| silverarrow | I am trying to install lubuntu on a iBook G4 | 00:27 |
| jagginess | !nvidia | 00:27 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 00:27 |

| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 00:27 |
| samster34 | jagginess: thanks, but I have the driver already :/ | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | silverarrow, PPC? | 00:27 |
| silverarrow | PPC what? | 00:28 |
| silverarrow | i am rather new at this OerHeks | 00:28 |
| jagginess | silverarrow, maybe yellowdog linux would work easier for ppc | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | silverarrow, i don't know the hardware in ibook. | 00:28 |
| silverarrow | it is suppose to be intel as far as I can tell | 00:29 |
| silverarrow | http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_g4_1.42_14.html | 00:30 |
| silverarrow | this is what I have to go by | 00:30 |
| memetic | jagginess: Does 12.04 have linux-restricted-modules-? | 00:30 |
| anonymous_ | linux is mutche beter | 00:30 |
| jagginess | memetic, not sure, just make sure you add the universe/multiver repos .. | 00:30 |
| jagginess | memetic, maybe its under a different name in 12.04 | 00:30 |
| anonymous_ | ubuntu | 00:31 |
| jqk | What do you guys know about this error: "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found." | 00:31 |
| jagginess | silverarrow, btw wikipedia has great tables if a certan mac laptop has ppc or intel | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | silverarrow, it is PowerPC, so get the iso from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/ | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | PowerBook G4/1.0 features a 1.0 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" | 00:31 |
| memetic | I should clarify the only reason I'm seeking to install the NVIDIA driver from their web site is that there is a slim possibility a bug may have been resolved which I get with Compiz (ctrl+alt+down arrow, moving around causes the system to lock up.) | 00:32 |
| memetic | I doubt it though. | 00:32 |
| jagginess | jqk, you probably dont need ndiswrapper, are you absolutely sure you need it? | 00:33 |
| anonymous_ | only use linux and the secret OS | 00:33 |
| OerHeks | memetic, for the latest build, my advise is x-swat ppa > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ | 00:33 |
| jqk | jagginess, well since i installed ndiswrapper i can't get the original option to enable wireless to appear :/ | 00:33 |
| silverarrow | OerHeks: , that is the one I have, but i have trouble booting, I get as far as a lubuntu logo, but it stops after a few error messages not regonizing wireless | 00:33 |
| jagginess | memetic, you should make sure you uninstall nvidia packages before trying /nvidia*run | 00:33 |
| jagginess | jqk, why did you install ndiswrapper if you dont know what to do with it? | 00:34 |
| OerHeks | silverarrow, oke, check de mactel pages from the url jagginess gave | 00:34 |
| silverarrow | OerHeks: this laptop has 1.42 processor and 512 ram, which can be expanded | 00:34 |
| memetic | Alright, I'll apt-get remove --purge nvidia* | 00:34 |
| jqk | jagginess, i know what to do with it, and i installed it because i figured it would give me a better connection then the wireless turning off on it's own every 2 websites | 00:34 |
| jagginess | jqk, apparently i dont think you do because setting up ndiswrapper takes alot of work | 00:35 |
| Lukah | I'm running Lubuntu, but I don | 00:36 |
| jagginess | jqk, for eg, do you know your deviceid for your nic ? | 00:36 |
| memetic | Oh yikes maybe I shouldn't do that. | 00:36 |
| memetic | it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. | 00:36 |
| jqk | jagginess, that doesn't even matter... i just want to get my original wifi working even if it disconnects every 2 seconds | 00:36 |
| jagginess | jqk, it does. | 00:36 |
| jqk | it doesn't | 00:36 |
| jqk | i don't want to use ndiswrapper anymore | 00:37 |
| Lukah | I'm running Lubuntu. I've installed rxvt-unicode-256colors. I have not menu item for it. I downloaded and extracted the contents of rxvt-unicode. It has a file under /usr/share/menu | 00:37 |
| Lukah | do I just need to move this file into /usr/share/menu to have a menu entry? | 00:37 |
| jagginess | jqk, also knowing your deviceid helps even for non-ndis setups. | 00:38 |
| jagginess | Lukah, you'll have to enable the debian submenu (i forget how to exactly, should be on wiki) | 00:39 |
| jqk | jagginess, i'm not here to argue. i'm here to get this fixed. | 00:39 |
| Lukah | yech. does ubuntu use the files under /usr/share/menu or the .desktop files to create it's menu. I don | 00:40 |
| jagginess | jqk, well I know how to fix it. Apparently you refuse my help.. ok then.. | 00:40 |
| Lukah | (small keyboard, lol) | 00:40 |
| jqk | jagginess, then explain how to fix it | 00:41 |
| Lukah | i don't want to have another menu, just list it under accessories. I'll just copy the file for LXTerminal. | 00:41 |
| Jee_ | Any ubuntu exploits | 00:41 |
| Lukah | but, the file under /usr/share/menu, or the .desktop file | 00:41 |
| jagginess | jqk, you can't fix something if you don't know what it is.. | 00:41 |
| Areckx | Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and wish to plugin speakers into the Mic port; since the headphone(line-in) is broken, how can I change the mic port to line-in? | 00:41 |
| jagginess | jqk, suggestiong lspci | 00:41 |
| jqk | jagginess, i know that lsusb shows it, and iwconfig doesn't | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, not, it is hardware. | 00:42 |
| jagginess | (try lsusb -nn -- try getting vendorid:deviceid , would be at end of lines) | 00:42 |
| Areckx | OerHeks:: is there a config file I can change to make it so it acts as a line-in? | 00:42 |
| Areckx | err, line-out | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, no. | 00:43 |
| Areckx | I want to use the mic port to line-out to my speakers | 00:43 |
| * jagginess thinks it was lsusb -d | 00:43 | |
| Areckx | OerHeks:: why not? | 00:43 |
| Sami345 | Areckx, I don't think so. I don't think that is possible. | 00:43 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, it is hardware. | 00:43 |

| Sami345 | Areckx, It's like saying I want to hear sound from my microphone! They just require different kinds of electronics. | 00:44 |
| Canadian1296 | In some programs (like rsync), progress is shown on a single, updating line. How can I replicate this behaviour in scripts? | 00:44 |
| Areckx | it's a metal; contactor, there mnust be a way to change how the system interprets its signals | 00:44 |
| jagginess | jqk, what kernel you using? | 00:44 |
| Sami345 | Areckx, Speaker is output, microphone input, system doesn't get signals from speakers :D | 00:44 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, you cannot change input to output on your soundcard | 00:45 |
| Sami345 | Areckx, If you are talking about front ports, maybe you could try switching wires on the motherboard | 00:45 |
| jqk | jagginess, no idea | 00:45 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, is that difficult to accept? | 00:45 |

| Areckx | OerHeks Sami345 http://jackaudio.org/ maybe? | 00:47 |
| jagginess | jqk, thats modern.. and that deviceid has been ought for years.. | 00:47 |
| jqk | jagginess, ? | 00:47 |
| jagginess | jqk, you get an interface with it? (iwconfig or ifconfig ) | 00:47 |
| Sami345 | Areckx, that won't help you | 00:48 |
| jagginess | jqk, (am saying your chances look not bad seeing the kernel is quite recent and that device has been ought longer than a year) | 00:48 |
| OerHeks | jqd you could disable G in your router, so your wifi connects tru 54 only, see if that helps. | 00:48 |
| Sami345 | Areckx, just face it, the thing you are trying to do is not possible, not without hardware modifications | 00:48 |
| Areckx | well I think I'm just going to try to find a usb solution | 00:49 |
| Sami345 | It is possible to get an external USB soundcard | 00:49 |
| Areckx | because the headphone jack is completely broken | 00:49 |
| Areckx | yes, my friend who just moved into the room next to me might have something I could use | 00:49 |
| jqk | jagginess, doesn't show in ifconfig or iwconfig | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | Areckx, if it is not a laptop, maybe internal audio out connector still works? | 00:49 |
| Areckx | don't want to poke around while he's not here though lol | 00:50 |

| samster34 | can anyone help me fix the xorg config? | 00:50 |
| jagginess | Areckx, you can't change an audio circuit-- it's hardwired.. so you can't use a mic for soundoutput or vice-versa..(or line-in for sound out) | 00:51 |
| jagginess | jqk, did you try with "fconfig -a"? | 00:51 |
| jagginess | jqk, did you try with "ifconfig -a"? | 00:51 |

| markamber_ | Yea, it is spam like, and I feel like this is not even the real room… not enough noise | 01:25 |

| markamber_ | Why is it so quiet? | 01:31 |
| Oli_ | I'm in the middle of an install, installing side by side with windows, and im allocating the size of each partition with the slider thing, but neither one is labelled! How do I know which is which? | 01:32 |
| IdleOne | markamber_: just is, happens now and then. | 01:32 |
| myersg | does anyone know of a youtube like software? for a website.. | 01:32 |
| TonsilloSloth | XFCE vs LXDE on an older laptop. I already did a little research but anyone have any thoughts? Kinda leaning towards LXDE for speed. | 01:33 |
| === markamber_ is now known as markamber | ||
| markamber | TonsilloSloth: LXDE | 01:34 |
| IdleOne | TonsilloSloth: both should run fine, LXDE a little quicker. | 01:34 |
| unkn-error|cloud | TonsilloSloth: lxde will use less ram, xfce will provide more functionality | 01:34 |
| Oli_ | I don't think there's much difference in performance for the difference in features, you'd need to be more worried about the applications you use I think, I'd go with XFCE | 01:35 |
| Oli_ | How old we talking? Specs? | 01:35 |
| markamber | TonsilloSloth: I find that sometimes LXDE is much faster, but my google chrome will be google chrome (or firefox firefox) and that is where most of your memory and stuff is going, so really I don't think it will matter *too much* | 01:37 |
| TonsilloSloth | It's an inspiron 1100.. p4 2.2ghz, 1gb ram | 01:37 |
| markamber | TonsilloSloth: classic gnome should be fine on pentium 4 | 01:37 |
| TonsilloSloth | markamber: hmm... I installed ubuntu and unity takes up a 4th of the screen (installer showed full screen). Ya think if I just switch to gnome it would work (I guess it wouldn't be that hard to try) | 01:38 |
| Oli_ | I use XFCE on my atom netbook (1.6ghz) with 1 gig of ram and it runs fine | 01:38 |
| TonsilloSloth | Uh, so in 12.04 I can't see a way to switch to gnome (like in 11.04) | 01:39 |
| TonsilloSloth | at the log in screen. Boot option? | 01:39 |
| xangua | TonsilloSloth: clic on the icon next to your user name to change the default desktop/shell | 01:41 |

| markamber | kriskropd: ehh, none of those are portable, if you want portable go with vnc, you can get clients on iPad iPhone, android… really anything. Nomachine is great for connecting with a computer over LAN or cellular or other internet, but VNC is what you want | 01:50 |

| AngrySpam98 | escott, why do you need to know to answer me? | 02:04 |

| AngrySpam98 | escott, it doesnt HAVE to be in grub, but i want to know how to find my Windows Partition. | 02:06 |
| n0sq | lots of bugs | 02:06 |
| ulkesh | AngrySpam98: would gparted (a program) help? | 02:07 |
| escott | AngrySpam98, the easiest method then would be to boot to a livecd/installed system and look at the disk utility gui, or the output of sudo parted -l. in grub you can do things like ls (hd0,0) but its a pain | 02:07 |
| jqk | how can i get my nvidia video card working good? tried the current nvidia drivers but there is still a little lag | 02:07 |

| cansranma | im running 12.04 with a nvidia chipset | 02:15 |
| SmileyPants | Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue? | 02:16 |

| IdleOne | !nomodeset | 02:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:18 |
| cansranma | someone last night suggested that | 02:18 |
| cansranma | !nomodeset! | 02:18 |
| cansranma | that was it | 02:18 |
| cansranma | but how do i know it's not grub1 | 02:18 |
| cansranma | how do i know its grub2 and not grub 1 | 02:18 |
| cansranma | ? | 02:18 |
| IdleOne | SmileyPants: check with: gksudo jockey-gtk, see if it offers to install/enable any drivers | 02:19 |
| IdleOne | cansranma: 12.04 uses grub2 by default | 02:19 |
| SmileyPants | IdleOne: thank you. I did do that and it installed the latest - I have compiz running nicely aside from the strange white window issue | 02:19 |
| cansranma | idleone | 02:20 |
| SmileyPants | IdleOne: I've made sure everything in the sytem is up to date so it's easier to troubleshoot | 02:20 |
| cansranma | the thing is the OP says that it appies to how to applies to ubuntu 10.04 and i have 12.04 | 02:20 |
| IdleOne | SmileyPants: report a bug at launchpad.net. is the only other thing I can think of. | 02:20 |
| cansranma | and he doesnt know how with wubi | 02:20 |
| cansranma | so would it not work for 12.04? | 02:20 |
| SmileyPants | Thanks IdleOne. I'll mess around with it a bit first and get more info so it'd be more useful to the devs. | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | cansranma: yes, it should work | 02:21 |
| cansranma | k | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | cansranma: this is a wubi install? | 02:23 |
| cansranma | I dont think this is oging tow ork idleone | 02:24 |
| IdleOne | hmm, never mind. it shouldn't matter | 02:24 |
| cansranma | because my error message isnt htere | 02:24 |
| cansranma | I think because it said host | 02:25 |
| cansranma | i dont know | 02:25 |

| Elesa | Hii, how do I install GIMP 2.8 in Natty? | 02:30 |
| Ariii | Hi! How do I set up a USB version of Ubuntu as the permanent one? | 02:30 |
| IdleOne | !usb | Ariii see the persistent link | 02:31 |
| ubottu | Ariii see the persistent link: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | Elesa: search for a gimp 2.8 PPA | 02:32 |
| Ariii | IdleOne: Thanks! | 02:32 |
| kristenbb | IdleOne: just noticed while reading my question again that quotes were missing, the error is : "It says error 127 occurred while running autoreconf". I am the one mentioning that the project runs fom command line, in case that was unclear. So it probably doesn't come from a package missing. | 02:33 |
| Elesa | IdleOne: well, I've seen lots of articles with a GIMP 2.8 PPA, but I always get a 404 error | 02:34 |
| Ariii | Oh, also, how well should Ubuntu 12.04 run on a 1 GHz PowerBook with 512 MB RAM? | 02:35 |
| Elesa | Ariii: I'd install Lubuntu or Xubuntu xD | 02:35 |
| ping__ | hy sir how to instal optimus | 02:35 |
| Ariii | Elesa: Oh, I'm upgrading to 2 GB RAM pretty soon, so should I keep it on Xubuntu/Lubuntu or would Ubuntu be fine? | 02:36 |
| Elesa | Ariii: well, do you have 3D acceleration? | 02:36 |
| bigsky | hi all | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | Elesa: seems that it is not possible to install Gimp 2.8 on 11.10 due to the dependency requirements, you can however compile it from source. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11946325 | 02:36 |

| bigsky | why i cannot remove postgresql pacage? | 02:38 |

| IdleOne | bigsky: Package postgresql-8.4 is not installed, so not removed | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | nothing to remove. | 02:39 |
| Elesa | Ariii: Have you tried the Unity interface? If you prefer a more traditional environment, I'd say go for Xubuntu, since it has less requirements, probably runs better in a 1 Ghz machine, and I'm guessing more battery life, plus you get the 5 support years.. | 02:39 |
| bigsky | IdleOne: but i can find this packages using dpkg -l | 02:39 |
| acovrig | I am trying to get samba to work with mysql, and I get /usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so: No such file or directory; I installed libpam-mysql, do I need something else? | 02:39 |

| IdleOne | what package is dpkg -l showing you exactly? | 02:41 |
| Ariii | Elesa: Oh, thanks! Actually, I think Unity looks pretty nice. I got it used for $70, so I don't have a copy of Mac OS X to create a dual boot with, so I'm just using it through a flash drive. | 02:41 |
| bigsky | IdleOne: http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=720 | 02:42 |
| Elesa | Ariii: ..$70!? Lucky you. | 02:42 |

| bigsky | IdleOne: then what rc means? | 02:44 |
| acovrig | yet apt-file search /usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so returns nothing... | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | bigsky: not sure, but why are you asking in #uubntu when you are running debian? | 02:44 |
| bigsky | IdleOne: what dpkg do, why dpkg -l shows packages which are not installed:( | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | #ubuntu* | 02:45 |

| IdleOne | lrcaballero: he already has debian installed. if you wish to help him please join #debian | 02:48 |
| OerHeks | wh1zz0, some wmv files are DRM protected. | 02:48 |

| bigsky | IdleOne: thank u | 02:51 |
| Elesa | IdleOne: umm, can't the GIMP developers provide the missing dependencies, or are they just obssesed with compiling from source? | 02:51 |
| david__ | does anyone know how to install the lastest version of Gnome in Ubuntu 12.04? | 02:51 |
| OerHeks | lrcaballero, read that, wmv is not an open standard, some are drm protected that cannot be done with some codec. | 02:51 |
| IdleOne | Elesa: it has to do with the switch from gnome2 to gnome3. gnome2 no longer being supported they are not backporting to it. | 02:52 |
| OerHeks | wh1zz0, i don't know, i leave wmv and wma. | 02:52 |
| IdleOne | !notunity | david__ | 02:52 |
| ubottu | david__: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 02:52 |

| IdleOne | AngrySpam98: no I wouldn't but I also wouldn't alienate the people who I was aksing for help. | 03:13 |
| gry | alice, that said, don't use eval(), just try input() | 03:13 |
| Elesa | AngrySpam98: I doubt I can be of help to you because I don't know a lot, but anyway.. What do you need help with? D: | 03:14 |

| AngrySpam98 | Elesa i just want to know the latest kernal version... | 03:14 |
| Elesa | 3.4.4 | 03:15 |
| Elesa | that's the latest stable release | 03:15 |
| IdleOne | not for Ubuntu 12.04 it isn't | 03:15 |
| Elesa | =O | 03:15 |
| Elesa | Then which one? | 03:15 |
| IdleOne | I'm not on 12.04 I can't check | 03:16 |
| AngrySpam98 | WOW... | 03:16 |
| IdleOne | AngrySpam98: wow nothing, you have a larger issue, not being to boot Ubuntu, knowing the kernel version is not going to help. Unless you installed some unsupported kernel and aren't telling us. | 03:17 |
| AngrySpam98 | IdleOne, If i had the kenal version i could at least TRY something. | 03:18 |
| acovrig | would apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop convert this to a cli system? | 03:18 |
| Elesa | Well, please correct me if I'm wrong, but http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ makes me think that the latest kernel in Precise is 3.4 | 03:18 |
| AngrySpam98 | And i believe it is 3.2.0 | 03:18 |
| Elesa | AngrySpam98: Why don't you chroot from a Live CD/USB? o.o | 03:18 |
| AngrySpam98 | Elesa: that is 11.10 | 03:18 |
| AngrySpam98 | Lol, bbl | 03:19 |
| Elesa | Somehow, I don't feel like helping him. Even if I doubt I'd be able to. >.> | 03:20 |
| lrcaballero | AngrySpam98: per Kernel.org the latest version is 3.4.4 in general NOT Ubuntu 12.04 and there is an RC for 3.5 source http://www.kernel.org/. I checked my kernel version on 12.04 and is 3.2.0 | 03:21 |

| L3top | j5i13r: lubuntu is the lightest. I would expect either would work well. | 03:42 |
| kiamo | doesn't produce any output | 03:42 |
| L3top | StubbyBanana: I am not watching a youtube. Please try and explain. | 03:42 |
| StubbyBanana | Hmm | 03:42 |
| L3top | kiamo: sudo apt-get -f install | 03:42 |
| L3top | kiamo: second verse same as the first | 03:43 |

| kiamo | L3top: what do you mean? second verse same as the first? | 03:44 |
| StubbyBanana | L3top, when i start my computer, i can choose to start Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I pick Ubuntu, but instead it takes me to a GNU GRUB version 1.99 | 03:44 |
| StubbyBanana | And dont know how to boot | 03:44 |
| StubbyBanana | boot Ubuntu* | 03:44 |
| L3top | kiamo: I meant only that I wanted to know, success or failure, if any output at all again. Can you please sudo apt-get install pastebinit so that I can see larger output? | 03:44 |
| IdleOne | StubbyBanana: what i saw was grub 1.97beta4 | 03:44 |
| StubbyBanana | IdleOne, i said relative. | 03:45 |
| kiamo | i can't, I broke X T_T | 03:45 |
| IdleOne | StubbyBanana: also you posted that it is Ubuntu 9.10 which is no longer supported | 03:45 |
| L3top | StubbyBanana: what version of ubunu are you... yeah... that would be a problem. | 03:45 |
| IdleOne | StubbyBanana: i suggest you download a supported version and install that. | 03:45 |
| kiamo | L3top: I uninstalled the ATI things giving me errors, and now when I load x screen remains black | 03:46 |
| StubbyBanana | IdleOne, last time i checked i had 12.04 LTS | 03:46 |
| kiamo | Xorg -configure | 03:46 |
| L3top | !pastebinit | kiamo | 03:46 |
| ubottu | kiamo: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:46 |
| IdleOne | StubbyBanana: i don't think so because 12.04 uses 1.99 and not 1.97beta4 | 03:46 |
| StubbyBanana | IdleOne, i didnt make this video, with my problem it does say 1.99 | 03:47 |

| Psytonic | hi all, what options do I have to name resolution in a peer to peer environment? | 04:32 |
| Psytonic | i.e. assuming i don't have/can't use a dns server | 04:32 |
| * bhavesh cannot use internet on Ubuntu except Xchat | 04:33 | |
| Psytonic | I understand that wins also uses a server, which requires setup, just as dns would? | 04:33 |
| psusi | bhavesh, you mean for ethernet? why? it should be auto negotiated to the correct setting | 04:34 |
| psusi | Psytonic, the hip new thing for that these days is mDNS/avahi | 04:34 |
| Psytonic | psusi: I've been looking into it, but theres seems to be very little doc about it | 04:35 |
| bhavesh | psusi: Internet wasn't working on my both Os's win7 and ubuntu. I fixed it on win7 by changing the speed/duplex settings from auto negotiation to 10Mbps half duplex. Now what about Ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| psusi | bhavesh, you can take a look at the ethtool command | 04:35 |
| bhavesh | I don't understand how does this Xchat works while I cannot load pages on any of the browsers. Even sudo apt-get install ethtool works.. | 04:37 |
| Psytonic | dns ok? | 04:37 |
| Psytonic | thats the usual culprit | 04:37 |
| bhavesh | Psytonic, it is set to Automatic PPPoE | 04:38 |
| Psytonic | .... | 04:38 |
| Psytonic | thats not what i asked :P | 04:38 |
| Psytonic | can you ping a well known hostname? | 04:38 |
| LaOdeAliFarisi_ | adakah orang indonesia? | 04:39 |
| bhavesh | if you tell me how to | 04:39 |

| horny-sama | I mean my Bigfoot Killer n1103 is supported but it is not on the list | 04:41 |
| bhavesh | Psytonic, I still did not get how to do it.. | 04:41 |
| Psytonic | ...type in the command? | 04:41 |
| bhavesh | oh | 04:42 |
| bhavesh | its about 30ms | 04:42 |
| bhavesh | ti 33.3 ms | 04:42 |
| bhavesh | to* | 04:42 |
| Psytonic | but it works? | 04:42 |
| bhavesh | yes | 04:42 |
| Psytonic | you get a response? | 04:42 |
| bhavesh | yes | 04:43 |
| Psytonic | then its probably a browser thing | 04:43 |
| Psytonic | make sure you havnt set a proxy or anything | 04:43 |
| bhavesh | well my browser seems to be working too but its quite slow.. like it takes about 10 minutes to load a page | 04:43 |
| Psytonic | ...thought you said the browser wasnt working? | 04:43 |
| bhavesh | it did not earlier.. now it does but as slow as it can. Changing the speed/duplex settings in win7 brought the speed back to normal | 04:44 |
| Psytonic | you shouldnt have to touch the duplex settings | 04:44 |
| Psytonic | at least not to my knowledge | 04:44 |
| bhavesh | well last year I called the ISP for same problem and she told me to change it | 04:44 |
| Psytonic | no idea then | 04:45 |
| Psytonic | sorry | 04:45 |

I have access to terminal, can anyone walk me through the termial commands to change back to a working DE? or get to the main login screen? | 04:46 |
| bhavesh | Psytonic, I think I can change it from ethtool like ethtool -s duplex half? | 04:48 |
| Psytonic | not a clue | 04:49 |
| ballyhoo | Shano56, if you edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf there will be autologin settings. Just place a # in front of anything that says autologin | 04:50 |
| Shano56 | okay ballyhoo, how can i edit it from terminal? | 04:50 |
| ballyhoo | sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 04:51 |
| ballyhoo | After you've made the changes, use ctrl-o to save and ctrl-x to exit | 04:52 |
| Shano56 | ty | 04:52 |
| Shano56 | hmm i see "dos format; mac format;append; prepend | 04:53 |
| Shano56 | or cancel | 04:53 |
| Shano56 | ignore those? | 04:53 |
| Shano56 | after pressing ctrl+o | 04:53 |
| ballyhoo | After pressing ctrl-o, it should just ask you the name of the file. Just hit enter. | 04:53 |
| ballyhoo | It'll overwrite the file. | 04:54 |
| Shano56 | ahh | 04:54 |

| cg2916 | lotuspsychje, yes, but that was when i was trying to fix the same problem yesterday. it's not just flash, it's java too. the "activity" irc sound effect played too fast as well | 05:27 |
| Abhijit | randnum, ubuntu with lxde desktop for low hardware specification computer | 05:27 |
| lotuspsychje | cg2916:maybe try to set pulseaudio to defaults? | 05:27 |
| Abhijit | will the 'L'buntu 12.04 work on pentium 4 with 128mb ram?? | 05:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lubuntu, xubuntu or gnome classic | 05:28 |
| cg2916 | lotuspsychje, how do i do that | 05:28 |
| goddard | Abhijit: Openbox or Awesome | 05:28 |
| Abhijit | goddard, but no lxde? | 05:28 |
| goddard | Abhijit: lxde might work but i have no experience with it i am sure there website lists the recommend specs | 05:28 |
| Abhijit | goddard, ok | 05:29 |
| Abhijit | goddard, and lubuntu has openbox installed it it to be choose at login prompt right? | 05:29 |
| Saint____ | Do you guys know if that ath9k bug is fixed in the next ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| randnum | ok, my computer is actually new, it's just cheap and has those on board graphics. It's screwing up my install | 05:29 |
| goddard | Abhijit: should ya | 05:29 |
| Murd0ck | Question what does opening DNS do? | 05:29 |
| goddard | Abhijit: i have like 5 WM installed and it works great | 05:29 |
| randnum | It will actualy install fine in text mode but it doesn't recognize my windows partitions and tries to overwrite them to GPT | 05:30 |
| tenX | hi | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | goddard, ok. and on lubuntu page they say desktop cd should not be used for less than 1gb system. but they do not tell what else to use? | 05:30 |
| cg2916 | lotuspsychje, how do i do that | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | goddard, here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | cg2916:not sure mate, try man pulseaudio | 05:31 |
| goddard | Abhijit: there you go | 05:31 |
| Abhijit | goddard, they say to use alternate iso. but they do not tell how to use alternate iso with cd or in usb? they already told not to use cd? so do i assume that i shold to use alternate iso from usb? | 05:32 |
| Murd0ck | Question what does opening DNS do? | 05:32 |
| randnum | what's funny is that I actually bought a new graphics card just so I could isntall ubuntu and my computer doesn't recognize the card and it's a PCIe card | 05:32 |
| cg2916 | lotuspsychje, doesn't really help | 05:33 |
| Abhijit | randnum, you shold first check on ubuntu site for supported/certified hardware in such caase | 05:33 |
| goddard | Abhijit: i dont see why burning a cd wouldn't work | 05:33 |
| cg2916 | Wow, now it works after a pulseaudio restart | 05:34 |
| Abhijit | goddard, ok i will try it. thanks | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | cg2916:how did you restart | 05:35 |

| ballyhoo | Greetings, everyone. I have a question. Is it preferred to install GNOME Shell through APT or should I just install the Gnome Shell Remix version of 12.04? | 06:10 |
| borax12 | ballyhoo, depends on your wish | 06:10 |
| L3top | where is the bookmark file borax12? | 06:10 |
| borax12 | if you want an entirely new os flavour | 06:10 |
| ballyhoo | borax12, I want to be able to use GNOME Shell with 12.04, but I heard it was buggy if you just installed it on top of a Unity install. | 06:11 |
| ballyhoo | Is this true? | 06:11 |
| borax12 | L3top, its in .mozilla | 06:11 |
| borax12 | folder in your home | 06:11 |
| borax12 | well not aware of the bugs ,but i have it installed ,works fine | 06:12 |
| borax12 | but on a regular basis ,i prefer using unity ,have gotten used to the workflow | 06:12 |
| ballyhoo | Thanks, borax12. I have been using Unity, but there are little quirks here and there that kinda bother me. | 06:13 |
| borax12 | like ? | 06:13 |
| KM0201 | if you're used to gnome 2.x, unity takes some getting used to. | 06:13 |

| borax12 | thats not | 06:14 |
| cody__ | how to i run a command in shell as root? | 06:14 |
| borax12 | a issue of unity ,thats because of missing desktop entries | 06:15 |
| borax12 | add sudo | 06:15 |
| cody__ | okay | 06:15 |
| KM0201 | sudo.. | 06:15 |
| ballyhoo | borax12, that might be a holdover from my /home being used on other distros. | 06:15 |
| borax12 | could be ,well i have single distro in my system ,but ballyhoo ,you could very well go with gnome shell | 06:16 |
| borax12 | i find it a bit cubersome to operate though | 06:16 |
| ballyhoo | Excellent, borax12. I came over from Fedora so I was used to GNOME Shell. | 06:16 |
| borax12 | ah i see ,nice ...i was kinda impressed with how vanilla fedora tries to keep its desktop environ ... | 06:17 |
| cody__ | when i put sudo in front of the command it asks for the password i type it in and my terminal disappears | 06:17 |
| borax12 | cody__, | 06:18 |
| ballyhoo | I found it pretty nice, but they just didn't have the applications that Ubuntu did. | 06:18 |
| borax12 | what command are you trying to run | 06:18 |
| ballyhoo | Like my Humble Indie Bundle games and such. | 06:18 |
| borax12 | ? | 06:18 |
| cody__ | i have this program hamachi | 06:18 |
| borax12 | ....thats true ...... | 06:18 |
| cody__ | and i need the run the command sudo hamachi login | 06:18 |
| borax12 | so after entering the password | 06:19 |
| borax12 | and pressing enter,the terminal closes ? | 06:19 |
| cody__ | yes | 06:19 |
| cody__ | when i run the command in normal terminal it works fine | 06:19 |

| borax12 | well thats strange ....wait i will check on | 06:24 |
| cody__ | ok | 06:25 |
| borax12 | cody__, have a look at here,the login process seems to differ - http://dougmelton.com/other-fun-stuff/hamachiubuntuhowto/ | 06:27 |
| cody__ | should i do all those commands | 06:28 |
| borax12 | cody__, you should if you want to work it out correctly ,but it seems you installed hamachi via apt-get .did you ? | 06:33 |
| cody__ | no | 06:33 |
| borax12 | ohk then it should work fine ,,search for a 12.04 alternative if you can(search result ) | 06:33 |

| shani0610 | Hello peeps newb here, I have installed windows 7 on a net book, the configuration is that the windows 7 loader is installed on a separate drive than C drive now I have my grub installed on that loader drive, but windows 7 is not booting what must be the problem? | 07:32 |
| Odiumx | is there something i'm missing? | 07:32 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, yeah, my ubuntu 12.04 has the ICS... | 07:32 |
| Guest3948 | any help? | 07:32 |
| goddard | shani0610: have you tried any grub repair? | 07:32 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, but i tried setting it up, but my Samsung Galaxy S2 running CyanogenMod 9 latest nightly build does not see it.... | 07:32 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, what am I missing here? | 07:32 |
| RandNum | it's just booting into windows now | 07:33 |
| Guest3948 | "Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 from USB (ISO burn) to hard disk. On Live CD - I was able to use Super + w but not now" | 07:33 |
| DuckDuckGo | auronandace: check this link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73504 | 07:33 |
| RandNum | for some reason it's not recognizing the ubuntu install...something to do with boot loader? | 07:33 |
| Guest3948 | All keyboard shortcuts are not working | 07:33 |
| Guest3948 | Like Long press super | 07:33 |
| L3top | sx_usr__: I have no idea. Either your ssid is not being broadcast, your nic does not allow adhoc due to limitations... or you didn't set it up right. What is your wifi nic? | 07:33 |
| Odiumx | Evening. I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.4 on a fresh sata drive, however am stuck at 'installation type'. It presents no options and will not allow me to go further. Am I missing something? | 07:33 |
| Guest3948 | Like Super + W | 07:33 |
| shani0610 | @goddard no, can you help? | 07:34 |
| auronandace | DuckDuckGo: so its a commandline utility | 07:34 |
| Guest3948 | <Odiumx> : What are the installation types | 07:34 |
| Odiumx | there are none | 07:34 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, how to check? | 07:34 |
| Guest3948 | Can you explain steps you took | 07:34 |
| DuckDuckGo | auronandace: yup ! this link tell you how to use arai2 for midori as download manager | 07:35 |
| Odiumx | I installed the new drive, booted to allow the system to discover the drive, restart with the boot cd in | 07:35 |
| Odiumx | and now i'm stuck here. | 07:35 |
| L3top | lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)' might tell you sx_usr__ | 07:35 |
| Odiumx | new partition table, add,change,delete,revert...these buttons do nothing. it can see my devide (hd0) to install the bootloader in | 07:35 |
| auronandace | DuckDuckGo: if i don't use it and don't know how to use it, how do you expect me to be able to explain to you how to use it? | 07:36 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, returns nothing | 07:36 |
| Guest3948 | Ok So you are trying to do custom installation | 07:36 |
| L3top | sx_usr__: is this a usb wireless? | 07:36 |
| RandNum | so I installed Windows 7, shrank the disk to half it's original size. Left a bunch of free space for Ubuntu, installed Ubuntu in that free space then restarted and it went straight into Windows 7. Anyone know what's causing that? | 07:36 |
| Guest3948 | Is there other OS on the system | 07:36 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, nope, it's built-in to my laptop (HP EliteBook 8540w) | 07:36 |
| Odiumx | Guest3948 - No, as I said it's a fresh drive | 07:37 |
| Odiumx | purchased all of an hour ago | 07:37 |
| Guest3948 | Ok | 07:37 |
| L3top | RandNum: grub didn't install for whatever reason... | 07:37 |
| Guest3948 | So your system bios is loading a drive | 07:37 |
| Odiumx | Yes. | 07:38 |
| L3top | sx_usr__: can you please pastebin the output of: lspci | 07:38 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, how do I pastebin? | 07:38 |
| Guest3948 | Ok and what is the first screen that you get | 07:38 |
| L3top | !pastebin | 07:38 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 07:38 |
| Guest3948 | are you able to | 07:38 |
| Guest3948 | Live CD boot | 07:38 |
| Odiumx | Yes. | 07:38 |
| RandNum | L3top: hmmm. I should be able to go into repair mode and install grub somewhere ya? | 07:38 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, i have pastebin installed in my ubuntu 12.04...but how do I use it on the command line? | 07:38 |
| Odiumx | it has to be abel to see the drive in ordder to check that you have at least 4GB space available | 07:38 |
| Odiumx | it can see i have the drive, and it has that space availaable | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | tthus allowing me to continue | 07:39 |
| L3top | !pastebinit | sx_usr__ | 07:39 |
| ubottu | sx_usr__: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | however once we arrive at intallation types | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | there's just nothing | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | i can't continue, it says' not root drive selected' but there's nothing to select. | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | new partition table, add,change,delete,revert...these buttons do nothing. it can see my devide (hd0) to install the bootloader in. | 07:39 |
| Guest3948 | when you click add do you get a new window | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | no | 07:39 |
| Odiumx | as I said, these buttons do nothing | 07:39 |
| L3top | !enter | Odiumx | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Odiumx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:40 |
| Odiumx | caln't even click them | 07:40 |
| sx_usr__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1080801/ | 07:40 |
| Guest3948 | But when you are live booting are you able to access that drive? | 07:40 |
| RandNum | Never buy a cheap OEM computer | 07:40 |
| Odiumx | no. | 07:40 |
| L3top | Odiumx: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l from live boot? | 07:40 |
| Odiumx | L3top - where do I type that? | 07:41 |
| Guest3948 | yeah | 07:41 |
| Guest3948 | Ok | 07:41 |
| L3top | in a terminal Odiumx | 07:41 |
| Guest3948 | Do Live boot - Try Ubuntu - open terminal | 07:41 |
| Odiumx | Ah, i thought it was odd L3top suggest I use the terminal from an instalation screen.... | 07:42 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, did u see my pastebin i just sent to u? | 07:42 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1080801/ | 07:42 |
| Odiumx | ok, well I'll be back in 30 minutes when the liveCD has started. | 07:42 |
| Odiumx | thx. | 07:42 |
| RandNum | grub with dual boot and GPT on a non UEFI motherboard is hell | 07:42 |
| L3top | 30 minutes? | 07:42 |
| Guest3948 | I am not able to use the keyboard shortcuts like Super, Super + w they were working in Live CD | 07:43 |
| Odiumx | takes a long time. | 07:43 |
| RandNum | You don't have to actually run the full install odium | 07:43 |
| Guest3948 | Booting the system will take 1 minute | 07:43 |
| L3top | and Odiumx you can just ctrl alt f2 to get to terminal... and you could sudo apt-get install pastebinit... then sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 07:43 |
| RandNum | reinsert the CD and select "Try ubuntu" instead of "install" | 07:43 |
| legolas | hello all.where is python Module folder in ubuntu 12.04 | 07:44 |
| Guest3948 | Anyone :( I am not able to use the keyboard shortcuts like Super, Super + w they were working in Live C | 07:44 |
| Guest3948 | I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 | 07:44 |

| sx_usr__ | L3top, okie dokie | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | L3top - ok thx. | 07:45 |
| Guest3948 | and I am not able to switch to Unity, it is alway Unity-2d | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | L3top - fdisk -l returns nothing | 07:45 |
| Guest3948 | sudo fdisk -l | 07:45 |
| RandNum | "sudo fdisk -l" | 07:45 |
| bakshi | i can ping by ip address but i can not ping by hostname.. | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | yes yes | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | sudo fdisk -l | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | does nothing | 07:45 |
| RandNum | L | 07:45 |
| Odiumx | Ah. | 07:45 |

| Odiumx | invalid option. | 07:46 |
| legolas | nobody can answer ? | 07:46 |
| bakshi | sombdy can answer me?how to solve dns problem? | 07:46 |
| RandNum | legoles that sounds like a simple google answer | 07:47 |
| RandNum | let me google that for you | 07:47 |
| legolas | thanks :) | 07:47 |
| Odiumx | lol | 07:47 |
| L3top | sx_usr__: I don't think you should have a problem with that nic... I wouldn't expect it anyway. | 07:47 |
| goddard | bakshi: ping localhost fails? | 07:47 |
| bakshi | no | 07:47 |
| bakshi | i can ping nic | 07:47 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, that's weird....but my phone just can't discover the wifi | 07:47 |
| bakshi | i cant ping google by thire ip address | 07:47 |
| bakshi | but i can not ping google by thire hostname | 07:48 |
| bakshi | it mean it dns issue | 07:48 |
| L3top | sx_usr__: it means either your ssid is not broadcasting, or something went wrong during setup. | 07:48 |
| Odiumx | Am I going to have to install indows first? so that it can partition my new drive? before installing ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, ssid not broadcasting? how do I make it broadcast? | 07:48 |
| goddard | Odiumx: optional you can skip the installing windows part :D but yes it is usually done that way | 07:48 |
| Guest3948 | <Odiumx>: NO | 07:49 |
| auronandace | Odiumx: it is recommended to install windows first because it overwrites the bootloader | 07:49 |
| shani0610 | Sorry to repeat again, I have installed windows 7 on a net book, the configuration is that the windows 7 loader is installed on a separate drive than C drive now I have my grub installed on that loader drive, but windows 7 is not booting what must be the problem? | 07:49 |
| L3top | do you remember what you set the ssid as? You should look at that link I gave you for step by step instructions. | 07:49 |
| goddard | shani0610: have you done a grub repair | 07:49 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, i set it to "Private-AP" | 07:49 |
| Guest3948 | <Odiumx> when you put CD and it boots are you given option to try ubuntu .. I guess yes | 07:50 |
| Odiumx | yes | 07:50 |
| L3top | can you, in the phone, set that ssid rather than scan? | 07:50 |
| shani0610 | please tell me the command | 07:50 |
| Odiumx | but if ubuntu doesn't know how to setup a new drive, i'll just install windows instad | 07:50 |
| Odiumx | thx anyway | 07:50 |
| RandNum | they used to recommend installing windows firrst | 07:50 |
| * Odiumx nods | 07:50 | |
| L3top | Odiumx: if fdisk cannot see the drive... it is most likely how the drive is set to be recognized in bios | 07:51 |
| goddard | shani0610: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/05/reinstall-recover-grub-from-ubuntu-12-04-live-cd-usb/ | 07:51 |
| sx_usr__ | L3top, nope | 07:51 |
| Guest3948 | Did you run fdisk -l | 07:51 |
| RandNum | because it uses the old MBR bios system | 07:51 |
| Odiumx | well, I don't want to be running an po[erating system which depends upon another thirdy party operating system | 07:51 |

| dassie | I seem to have messed up grub when I deleted the partition that the default OS was on. I'm on a liveusb right now, how do reset the grub.cfg file ? | 07:57 |
| L3top | legolas: dpkg -S python | grep modules | 07:57 |
| L3top | dassie: sudo update-grub | 07:58 |
| legolas | tnx, how i | 07:58 |
| dassie | L3top, do I need to chroot into the right partition first? | 07:59 |
| legolas | how i can add a moudle to them? | 07:59 |
| RandNum | that's not what this chat is for legolas | 07:59 |
| L3top | dassie: if you want to install grub (sudo grub-install) yes... I am not thinking it is necessary for the update dassie | 07:59 |
| legolas | ok can you answer me? | 07:59 |
| L3top | That is not an ubuntu support issue legolas. Try #python | 08:00 |
| bakshi | plz someo one answer me for my dns issue | 08:00 |
| legolas | but it is not in windows it is on UBUNTU | 08:00 |
| bakshi | i can not ping hostnam but i can ping by ip addresses | 08:01 |
| L3top | #python is not "windows" | 08:01 |
| dassie | L3top, it asks for a install device first...what is this arg supposed to be? | 08:01 |
| RandNum | L3top: I'm in my rescue mode installation now. I have #1 primary ntfs Boot partiton, #2 primary ntfs, #3 ext4, #4 swap. I don't have a grub boot location? | 08:01 |
| RandNum | it's not booting Ubuntu | 08:01 |
| L3top | dassie: for instance /dev/sda | 08:01 |
| === legolas is now known as legolas_ | ||
| bakshi | help me plzz | 08:02 |
| dassie | L3top, in that case it tells me "cannot find device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." | 08:02 |
| L3top | RandNum: grub lives in the MBR of the boot drive... again... typically /dev/sda | 08:02 |
| tenX | bakshi: qry | 08:03 |
| bakshi | i am using ubuntu 12.04 mini.iso after installing in system..i can ping only ip address.i can not ping hostnmae | 08:03 |
| L3top | dassie: then perhaps you do have to bind /dev and chroot into it. Sorry. | 08:03 |
| L3top | !patience | bakshi | 08:03 |

| blackshirt | bakshi, okey,what the problem | 08:04 |
| dassie | L3top, I've already chrooted into OS that I normally use | 08:04 |
| bakshi | i can ping google by thire ip address but i can not by hostname..so its dns issue..so what is solution | 08:04 |
| abhi_g | Installing gtk+ in ubuntu 10.10 | 08:04 |
| legolas_ | good bye all thank you for your helps | 08:04 |
| legolas_ | :D | 08:04 |
| bakshi | and resolv.conf is not found in /etc | 08:04 |
| L3top | abhi_g: 1010 is eol. It is no longer supported. | 08:04 |
| abhi_g | how can i build it from source? | 08:05 |
| dassie | L3top, using it from the liveusb i get the same results | 08:05 |
| L3top | it is NOT SUPPORTED abhi_g. This is ubuntu support. | 08:05 |
| blackshirt | bakshi, try to fill resolv.conf? | 08:05 |
| auronandace | abhi_g: step no. 1: install a supported version of ubuntu | 08:05 |
| bakshi | there not resolv.conf in my /etc.but i creat manully and i put my nameser | 08:06 |
| Dekline | in wine i have no option to change the audio driver which according to the setup i read should be OSS but since there is no option for that it is using winealsa.drv, idk if this is the main problem but i get s static sound when i play music through spotify. Any help? | 08:06 |
| L3top | dassie: I am not sure what you have done, or where you are at I am afraid. When you say you have already chrooted into the os you use... I don't know what that means. I do not know what you are doing exactly in live boot. Have you bound /dev to the /mountpount/dev ? | 08:06 |
| cirustus | hi guys can anyone help me with a fingerprint reader problem | 08:07 |
| blackshirt | bakshi, okey ..what the result? | 08:07 |
| bakshi | same..not solve | 08:07 |
| bakshi | resolv.conf not located it mean dns is installed? | 08:07 |
| dassie | L3top, I'm not sure what that means, that is to "bind /dev" to something. could you elaborate please? | 08:08 |
| L3top | dassie: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mountpoint/dev where mountpoint is where you mounted it. | 08:09 |
| RandNum | if I go into "rescue mode" from the liveCD(usb) there is an option that says "Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" but when I select it, it asks me how I want to partition my drive. I've ALREADY partitioned it. i just need it to load. | 08:09 |
| dassie | L3top, this would be entered in the liveusb ? | 08:09 |
| dassie | Btw, before I meant I was chrooting into the partition that holds the ubuntu installation that i want to use | 08:10 |
| Odiumx | It is not the case that ubuntu depends on windows, however I wonder how to format and partition a new drive with ubuntu, so that I can carry out the install without need MSW ? | 08:10 |
| L3top | dassie: this is what I was saying... I don't know where in the process you are. If you have MOUNTED and CHROOTED then THERE | 08:10 |
| cirustus | can anyone help please | 08:10 |
| Dekline | how i fix my wine so my audio in spotify doesnt sound like a bad radio station?? | 08:10 |
| L3top | Odiumx: did you check your bios sata mode? | 08:10 |
| Odiumx | I haven't, no. | 08:11 |
| Odiumx | I've used the windows installer to parttion my drive, and am hoping that will have some effect on the ubuntu install. | 08:11 |
| RandNum | Your ubuntu installer will recognize the widnows install and ask if youw ant to install ubuntu along with windows | 08:12 |
| Odiumx | I haven't installed windows | 08:12 |
| Odiumx | it's a fresh drive | 08:12 |
| Odiumx | i bought it an hour ago | 08:12 |
| Odiumx | never been used | 08:12 |
| L3top | Odiumx: due to various reasons, usually the bios sets this mode to acpi, and this can cause issues that setting it to ide mode fixes. | 08:12 |

| RandNum | Odiumx I'm experiencing problems and resolutions involving ubuntu installation and partitions. However, I'm not familiar with the "instalation type" screen. I'm using the alternate isntall | 08:16 |
| Guest78198 | As you see my nickname, I am now in the guest session after the failed installation so running form live usb now | 08:16 |
| cirustus | type /nick to change your nickname | 08:16 |
| === Guest78198 is now known as BWorld | ||
| Odiumx | Aah, i see. | 08:16 |
| BWorld | thanks cirustus | 08:17 |
| RandNum | I just finished installing windows and ubuntu, but my grub installer isn't installed properly it's not just installing into windows | 08:17 |
| cirustus | BWorld, no probs, as for installing on a ssd im not too sure how to solve that never used one | 08:17 |
| BWorld | hmm.. | 08:17 |
| BWorld | Maybe someone else has experience with this ? | 08:18 |
| cirustus | RandNum, does he grub loader show up? | 08:18 |
| RandNum | no, only when I boot into rescue mode from the CD do I see the ext4 and swap partitions | 08:18 |
| RandNum | the only boot parition is MBR ntfs for windows | 08:18 |
| RandNum | I'm not sure if I should manually create a new partion for EFIboot, or biosgrub, or try to isntall it some other way | 08:19 |
| help1111 | if i have a main partitino then swap file parition then a freee space partition. how can i move the swap partition to the end ? | 08:19 |
| RandNum | free space isn't numbered like swap | 08:19 |
| help1111 | i created it right now | 08:20 |
| help1111 | i need to resize the main parition for ubuntu | 08:20 |
| help1111 | but swap parition in the middle | 08:20 |
| help1111 | and the new created free space is after the swap parition | 08:20 |
| cirustus | RandNum, gimmie a sec looking for the web page that will help | 08:20 |
| L3top | help1111: you should have just run the installer with the full windows drive. It would have done all of this for you. | 08:21 |
| RandNum | or maybe I can use the windows MBR to somehow boot into ubuntu as an option... | 08:21 |
| RandNum | I'm so close to getting this to work | 08:21 |
| cirustus | RandNum, try this page it should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 08:21 |
| RandNum | k, thanks | 08:21 |
| cirustus | RandNum, no probs | 08:21 |
| help1111 | l3top ubuntu is 2 years old .. i can not redo everything again | 08:22 |
| help1111 | too much work | 08:22 |
| help1111 | i need extra space only | 08:22 |
| L3top | RandNum: yes... grub installs there, and gives you the option to boot into windows or ubuntu... not in a partition, but on the drive assignment... ie /dev/sda not /dev/sda2 etc | 08:22 |
| cirustus | can anyone help me with my fingerprint reader prob in ubuntu 12.04 | 08:23 |
| RandNum | liveCD option doesn't allow me to install the grub installer manually for some reason | 08:23 |
| RandNum | I click that option and it just asked me to partion the drive again | 08:23 |
| L3top | help1111: I misunderstood. | 08:23 |
| cirustus | RandNum, do it via terminal | 08:23 |
| RandNum | i tried selecting just the /dev/sda (that represents the entire drive) but that was to actually reformatt and partition the drive so i said no. | 08:23 |
| RandNum | k, I'll read this article hopefully I can do it from the terminal like yous suggest brb | 08:24 |
| cirustus | RandNum, do the 2nd option from live cd worked for me | 08:24 |
| RandNum | I have other issues with the live CD...I'm actually technically not in the main LiveCD menu options I'm using the Alternative LiveCD text based only options which are a little different. The first screen is basically a grub menu/shell with an option to install or rescue. from there I get some text based options. anyway I'll read this article and be back | 08:25 |
| cirustus | RandNum, no probs never done the alternate myself so cant help there | 08:26 |
| lolcat | Why on earth would anyone want to use unity? | 08:31 |
| RandNum | no one does :P | 08:31 |
| RandNum | Gnome! | 08:31 |
| atheer | hi | 08:31 |
| RandNum | or KDE | 08:31 |
| lolcat | Gnome is almost perfect, having unity on a desktop is about as efficent as using the android layout on a desktop | 08:32 |
| L3top | !ot | lolcat | 08:32 |
| ubottu | lolcat: #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! | 08:32 |
| RandNum | but it's nice until you can isntall gnome | 08:32 |
| atheer | any one can help me | 08:32 |
| RandNum | what's your question atheer | 08:33 |
| lolcat | atheer: thanks for the offer but the mind readers are on strike, so you do have to state your question. | 08:33 |
| cirustus | so can anyone help me with my fingerprint reader problem? | 08:34 |
| RandNum | I don't remember the question cirustus | 08:34 |
| atheer | i dont now how can i use chat with my frined in yahoo mass.... | 08:34 |
| cirustus | RandNum, im trying to get the fingerprint reader working on a hp dv6-6023 but with no luck | 08:35 |
| RandNum | did the drivers install ok? | 08:35 |
| L3top | atheer: Probably pidgin. | 08:35 |
| cirustus | RandNum, not that i see and i cant seem to find any for it atm | 08:36 |
| RandNum | hmm, have you tried aptitude? | 08:36 |
| cirustus | RandNum, im guissing thats a program to install | 08:37 |
| cirustus | *guessing | 08:37 |
| RandNum | yea, it helped me find obscure library files once | 08:37 |
| RandNum | sudo apt-get aptitude? | 08:37 |
| cirustus | RandNum, ok ill give it a try and get back to you | 08:38 |
| L3top | why would you need aptitude? | 08:38 |
| RandNum | you don't NEED it | 08:38 |
| RandNum | I found it helpful just because it's gui is intuitive. | 08:38 |
| meisth0th | hello | 08:40 |
| RandNum | l3top youd don't happen to know of a way to install the grub boot loader from terminal do you? | 08:40 |
| meisth0th | how can i obtain source package of a ppa? | 08:40 |
| RandNum | I'm in a "try ubuntu" session now witha terminal | 08:41 |

| cirustus | L3top, ill look at that now | 08:42 |
| L3top | RandNum: what partition is your ubuntu install on? | 08:42 |
| cirustus | L3top, i tried that it couldnt find the device so im now trying to find the drivers | 08:43 |
| RandNum | dev.sda6 | 08:43 |
| RandNum | oh | 08:43 |
| RandNum | here's something dev.sdb1 is Device Boot | 08:43 |
| L3top | cirustus: sudo apt-get fprint-demo | 08:44 |
| RandNum | but I ahve 6 partitions of sda and this lone sdb1 out here that no one can find | 08:44 |
| cirustus | L3top, already did and still no luck | 08:44 |
| RandNum | the first 2 are windows the sda3 is extended, sda5 is swap and sda6 is / | 08:44 |
| Ashtray777 | ? | 08:45 |
| L3top | one moment RandNum. | 08:45 |
| cirustus | L3top, this is a recently new laptop came out this year so im guessing drivers havnt been made for it just of yet | 08:45 |
| L3top | cirustus: well it is on the unsupported list http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/Unsupported devices | 08:45 |

| ackbahr | Hi! I'm looking for a software to test audio CDs for skipping errors and such without having to listen to all of them. Could someone help? | 08:47 |
| RandNum | you know I could probably use the graphical installer to help me with this. It asks you where you want to install the boot loader. | 08:47 |
| L3top | RandNum: sudo -s | 08:48 |
| L3top | RandNum: mount /dev/sda6 mnt; mount -o bind /dev mnt/dev; mount none -t devpts mnt/dev/pts; mount none -t sysfs mnt/sys | 08:49 |
| cirustus | well i know if i ever want a laptop with fingerprint reader ill get a thinkpad as they seem to work well | 08:49 |
| L3top | RandNum: chroot /mnt | 08:49 |
| Corey | cirustus: Yeah, I'd not run Linux on a laptop that wasn't a Thinkpad. | 08:49 |
| cirustus | Corey, atm im currently using a toshiba satellite but it has no reader so im all good with that | 08:50 |
| L3top | RandNum: grub-install /dev/sda; update-grub | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Corey: runs 100% ootb on my dell D620 | 08:50 |
| RandNum | mount /dev/sda6 mnt; "mount point mnt does not exist" | 08:50 |

| ActionParsnip | RandNum: change mnt for /mnt | 08:51 |
| L3top | sorry that ^ | 08:51 |
| saint__ | How do I add something to the PATH variable? | 08:51 |

| RandNum | I think you mean /mnt | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | saint__: in ~/.bashrc add a line: PATH=$PATH:/new/folder/added | 08:51 |
| RandNum | k, trying this thanks l3top! | 08:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Corey: maybe, still works though.. | 08:52 |
| beberon | !list | 08:52 |

| Corey | beberon: Not that kind of channel or network. | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Corey: thinkpads are solid systems though | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cirustus: nice | 08:53 |

| bioman | hello | 08:54 |
| cirustus | hi | 08:54 |
| L3top | sorry for the missing mounts RandNum. Did a bad sed. | 08:54 |
| bioman | I'm an ubuntu noob. I've managed to disable unity (12.04). Now I'd like to have compiz-fusion effects. Could you help me please ? | 08:54 |
| L3top | missing /mnt I mean RandNum | 08:54 |
| RandNum | I think it's working L3top :) | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Corey: i'd buy something that was similar in speed to the macbook and save a whole heap of cash | 08:55 |
| L3top | bioman... how did you "disable" unity? | 08:55 |
| RandNum | finished updating grub :) | 08:55 |
| RandNum | scared to test it haha | 08:55 |
| L3top | RandNum: give it a reboot | 08:56 |
| bioman | L3top: I've found on Internet | 08:56 |
| L3top | That is not an answer bioman | 08:56 |
| RandNum | sigh, it went straight into windows again. | 08:57 |
| RandNum | I felt like that was going to work too | 08:57 |
| cirustus | bioman, did you follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager | 08:57 |
| bioman | L3top: http://www.hypnoz.net/informatique/ubuntu-12-04-desactiver-unity-et-utiliser-gnome/ | 08:57 |
| R3pLiCa | any hackers over here -.- ! | 08:58 |
| RandNum | how do you even get a terminal in unity | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | RandNum: press CTRL+ALT+T | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | RandNum: if you use terminal a lot, I can recommend Guake | 08:59 |
| L3top | RandNum: can you please get me an output of sudo fdisk -l in pastebin? | 08:59 |
| RandNum | yes sec | 09:00 |
| L3top | R3pLiCa: almost any user is a hacker... but... what are you going for? | 09:00 |
| RandNum | pastebin.com/DgpArKT9 | 09:01 |
| lotuspsychje | l3top: nice explaining :p | 09:01 |
| RandNum | http://pastebin.com/DgpArKT9 | 09:01 |
| L3top | RandNum: That really should have worked. | 09:02 |
| bioman | cirustus: thank you. it says install ccsm, but apt-get install ccsm says package not found | 09:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !info ccsm | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Package ccsm does not exist in precise | 09:03 |
| RandNum | I might just try installing Ubuntu first | 09:03 |
| RandNum | and using its loader | 09:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !info compiz-configuration-tool | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Package compiz-configuration-tool does not exist in precise | 09:03 |

| lotuspsychje | yeah that1 lol | 09:04 |
| akssps011_ | Hi, how can I set this permission on a file: rwsr-xr-x ? | 09:04 |
| cirustus | bioman, not sure about it then as ive never changed my manager | 09:04 |
| L3top | RandNum: that will guarantee you are back in the same position. | 09:05 |
| L3top | RandNum: once you install windows that is... | 09:05 |
| RandNum | yeah, this is the closest I've been to dual boot. I think installing windows first is best | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | akssps011_: chmod 755 file | 09:06 |
| RandNum | is there a pastebin for images (screenshots) ? | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | akssps011_: r = 4, w = 2, x = 1 then add together the access you want, so r-x = 4+1 = 5 | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | RandNum: imageshack | 09:07 |

| L3top | cirustus: I like lspci -nnk | grep VGA -a2 faster... just the facts. | 09:10 |
| cirustus | ActionParsnip, well there is my problem i have dual graphics cards but can only get drivers for one of them :/ | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | cirustus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics its a masive headache in Linux | 09:11 |
| akssps011_ | ActionParsnip: I tried chmod 777 and then chmod +s but it changes to rws r-s r-x | 09:11 |
| mithun | the proprietary driver installed and now i am not able to access unity. i can access unity 2d | 09:11 |
| akssps011_ | ActionParsnip: but I don't want that second s | 09:11 |
| RandNum | So what's odd is that even after I elect to reinstall all of ubuntu it still doesn't properly install the boot loader...what could it be | 09:11 |
| RandNum | I need to sleep though :S | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | akssps011_: look into: man chmod | 09:11 |
| lotuspsychje | mithun: you might wanna try lubuntu-desktop | 09:11 |
| ripthejacker | please help the software centre cannot connect to internet | 09:11 |
| L3top | mithun: Can I please get lspci -nn | grep VGA | 09:11 |
| ripthejacker | even though i am connected to internet | 09:12 |
| mithun | L3top, 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2) | 09:12 |
| mithun | lotuspsychje, why lubuntu? i want to use unity. | 09:13 |
| cirustus | ActionParsnip, yeah ive guessed i have intel and nvidia but intel takes the lead on it all lol | 09:13 |
| aldaren | How can i add ext4 support to initrdramfs? | 09:13 |
| RandNum | I wonder if I need an EFIboot partition | 09:13 |
| lotuspsychje | mithun: in my opnion unity2d doesnt run very smooth on a system that cant run unity properly | 09:14 |
| bioman | cirustus: I've followed the link. ccsm is set. But when I launch compiz --replace (Alt F2) no compiz effects :( | 09:14 |
| mithun | lotuspsychje, i am using unity2d just beacuse the other one stopped working when installed nvidia restricted drivers | 09:14 |
| cirustus | bioman, again i havnt used it myself personally but i will look at it in amin for you and see if i can find a solution | 09:15 |
| tgary | Hi! I try to plug-in a TP-Link wireless adapter, and issued modprobe rt2800usb, but nothing happens. I think the usb subsystem doesn't recognise, as no such info in the log. How can I bring up this device as wlan0? | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | mithun: if your card can handle unity, did you try nvidia-current<? | 09:15 |
| L3top | mithun: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep stall | 09:15 |
| L3top | that should be what the "restricted drivers" option installs lotuspsychje | 09:16 |
| bioman | cirustus: I thank you in advance :) | 09:16 |
| L3top | and his card should handle it | 09:16 |
| mithun | L3top, Installed: 295.40-0ubuntu1 | 09:16 |

| ManDay | Hello. | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | cirustus: if you want gaming, i'd go nvidia all the time :) | 09:17 |
| RandNum | l3top do you ahve a link to where you got that remount grub.cfx from? :/ | 09:17 |
| werxxx | さ | 09:17 |
| ManDay | Could anyone be so kind and check which file format the "onboard" ubuntu keyboard uses for describing its keyboard layout? | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cirustus: that link is all I know, I've see too many issues with dual GPU nonesense and will be avoiding it like the plague | 09:17 |
| cirustus | ActionParsnip, i know i prefer it but it even uses intel in windows and i cant change it in bios even :/ | 09:17 |
| ManDay | Is there any such configuration file, at all? | 09:17 |
| L3top | no RandNum. It is part of my snapshot maker on my machine. Like I said, I just did a sed to make it more suited to your needs | 09:18 |
| cirustus | ActionParsnip, im starting to regret getting this lappy now | 09:18 |

| ripthejacker | please someone help me | 09:19 |
| cirustus | bioman, what os are you using | 09:19 |
| L3top | I am thinking mithun. | 09:19 |

| ripthejacker | even though i am connected to internet | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ripthejacker:any errors in /var/log? | 09:20 |
| L3top | I am pretty strong with graphics detection/utilization. Your pciid should have no problem doing this... so I am looking for what could interfere. | 09:21 |
| ripthejacker | lotuspsychje, what error should i be looking for? | 09:21 |
| L3top | in my head movie... | 09:21 |

| SteveRyherd | I have a silly question... I'm not sure if here's the right place. If I ssh to my server I can run the command "SASS" just fine; which is in "/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin" -- But my Apache/WSGI/Django server doesn't see it. | 09:22 |
| ripthejacker | !patience | 09:22 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:22 |
| lotuspsychje | ripthejacker:anything related to software centre, or trying to install | 09:22 |
| SteveRyherd | I get the error /bin/sh: sass: not found | 09:22 |
| L3top | To be clear mithun... you have rebooted since this was installed right? | 09:22 |
| mithun | L3top, yes i have rebooted | 09:22 |
| SteveRyherd | Although through ssh I can see it fine -- and I've added ``export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin`` to my .bash_rc | 09:22 |
| NSAgent | SteveRyherd: To *your* bashrc, not apache's | 09:23 |
| ripthejacker | lotuspsychje, not specific to software center | 09:23 |
| platius | ripthejacker> the source server you have chosen maybe down at the moment | 09:23 |
| ripthejacker | no | 09:24 |
| SteveRyherd | NSAgent, Would it be smarter to add it to Apache's .bash_rc then, or make a link to a different bin? | 09:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ripthejacker: maybe this can help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/100057/ubuntu-software-center-not-working-check-your-internet-connection | 09:24 |
| ripthejacker | platius, actually i am not using the system method to connect to internet. I am using another package rp-pppoe | 09:24 |
| NSAgent | SteveRyherd: I don't know that apache uses bash. Try adding it to /etc/profile instead | 09:25 |
| ripthejacker | platius, so even the network manager thinks i'm not connected to internnet | 09:25 |

| lotuspsychje | mithun:pastebin xorg.0.log would be very handy | 09:26 |
| melodie_ | hi | 09:26 |
| mithun | lotuspsychje, hey i dont think there is so much to troubleshoot. this is definitely a common problem for nvidia users out there | 09:27 |
| mithun | lotuspsychje, the same problem people are facing since when nouveau was introduced to linux kernel | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ripthejacker: if you run: sudo apt-get update does it run ok? | 09:28 |
| bioman | Using 12.04 without unity. Cannot run compiz. Please help | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: what video chip do you use? | 09:30 |
| === Dorito is now known as Guest78263 | ||
| cirustus | bioman, im not sure then as the instructions are whiole still using unity | 09:32 |
| melodie_ | bioman, to know what GPU you use, you may type in a console "lspci | grep Video" | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: or: sudo lshw -C display | 09:33 |
| melodie_ | hi cirustus : what would prevent anyone from running Compiz in Precise ? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | melodie_: no 3D accelleration | 09:34 |
| melodie_ | it might have to be chosen at the login screen : is that the idea ? | 09:34 |
| melodie_ | ActionParsnip, sure, then maybe it is necessary to install the latest mesa packages available | 09:34 |
| olivier | Bonjour je n'arrive pas a installer quake comment faire? | 09:35 |
| melodie_ | some chips work well with all mesa family (no need of the devel packages or testing package of course, but the rest has helped some people) | 09:35 |
| melodie_ | olivier, vas sur #ubuntu-fr | 09:35 |
| bioman | melodie_: NVidia GT555M | 09:35 |
| bhavesh | hey how do I paste into putty? I cannot with ctrl V or right click or MMB or RMB or ctrl + insert + insert | 09:35 |
| melodie_ | bioman, have you installed the nvidia driver from the Synaptic package manager ? | 09:35 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, have you tried Ctrl+Shift+v ? | 09:36 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, does not work | 09:36 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, what is your console ? | 09:36 |
| bakshi | ttnux i am ere | 09:37 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, how do u mean what is my console? | 09:37 |
| bioman | melodie_: no... think I'm using nouveau | 09:37 |
| melodie_ | gnome-terminal, or lxterminal, or else ? | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: did you install the nvidia-current package | 09:37 |
| melodie_ | bioman, try nvidia | 09:37 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, its PuTTY's own console | 09:37 |
| melodie_ | just install it, reboot, remove nouveau, reboot, this kind of method may be ok | 09:37 |
| bioman | ActionParsnip: I'd like to keep nouveau, and make it work | 09:37 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, could you try something else than putty ? what is the aim ? remote control ? | 09:38 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, yes | 09:38 |
| bakshi | tnux are you there | 09:38 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, controlling a VPS | 09:38 |
| melodie_ | can't you ssh the remote machine ? | 09:38 |
| bhavesh | can I do that with my ubuntu terminal? | 09:38 |
| Yoshi2889 | Hi all, me again | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: not sure if compiz likes nouveau | 09:39 |
| bhavesh | ill google it | 09:39 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, perhaps, you might need to give it a try to see what | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bhavesh: remote control to achieve what? | 09:39 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, just try : | 09:39 |
| Yoshi2889 | I'm having a problem with Ubuntu where the sound keeps popping | 09:39 |
| bhavesh | ActionParsnip, control a VPS | 09:39 |
| melodie_ | ssh login-name@ip-of-the-remote-machine | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bhavesh: won't you be using a terminal anyway? | 09:39 |
| melodie_ | Yoshi2889, how many sound cards does this machine have ? | 09:40 |
| bhavesh | I did not know that it even works with a terminal.. | 09:40 |
| Yoshi2889 | melodie_: It has build-in speakers | 09:40 |
| Yoshi2889 | it's a laptop | 09:40 |
| melodie_ | bhavesh, I think the putty window is a terminal, so... | 09:40 |
| melodie_ | Yoshi2889, what kind of sound pops up ? | 09:41 |
| melodie_ | sort of notifications ? | 09:41 |
| Yoshi2889 | melodie_: Just a pop, no sound really but a pop | 09:41 |
| bioman | ActionParsnip: :( | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bhavesh: if you are just going to open a terminal on the remote desktop, why not just use an ssh client and connect that way, much less bandwidth :) | 09:41 |
| bioman | ActionParsnip: so please how-to install NVidia proprio drivers ? | 09:41 |
| bhavesh | ActionParsnip, Im trying that | 09:41 |
| bhavesh | :) | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 09:42 |
| melodie_ | Yoshi2889, 2 possibiilities : blacklist pcsp and pcspkr in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file | 09:42 |
| melodie_ | the other one find in the gnome-control-center a gui where you can set up the notifications to "no sound" | 09:42 |
| bioman | ActionParsnip: thank you very much | 09:42 |
| melodie_ | either or may work | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bioman: np dude | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | melodie_: blacklist.conf ;) all the files in the modprobe.d must end in .conf (no idea why) | 09:43 |
| bhavesh | melodie_, PuTTY uses its own terminal, which is on the right: http://i.imgur.com/NwrM5.png | 09:43 |
| bhavesh | and my ubuntu terminal is on the left | 09:43 |
| Yoshi2889 | Sorry my machine locked up | 09:43 |
| bioman | ActionParsnip: might you know which version of NVidia driver it installs ? | 09:44 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, yes apt-get update working fine. | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nvidia-current | bioman | 09:44 |

| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, yes did but still no good | 09:52 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, i think the problem is with network manager | 09:52 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, it does not think i am online | 09:52 |
| Yoshi2889 | Thanks ActionParsnip, and ubottu of course :P, I will try that somewhere later today :) | 09:53 |

| wubino | Any tips availabel on hooking up to a projector via hdmi? I tried but could not look at the projected image at the same time as the laptop image. | 09:54 |
| wubino | Other than that it worked great. | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wubino: what laptop? | 09:54 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, i can use synaptic but i though i could use better gui :P | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ripthejacker: 'better' is subjective :) | 09:54 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, well then for the reason they put software center. | 09:55 |

| ActionParsnip | bhavesh: same deal | 09:59 |
| ripthejacker | ActionParsnip, i dont think its a problem with dns.I think its a flaw within USC that it looks at network manager to determine the connection. | 10:00 |

| minas | ActionParsnip: Here it is http://pastebin.com/MTxuTZ1r | 10:29 |
| libellulelly | i'm trying to set up a "netboot" server to deploy ubuntu 12.04 installation in my lan... i installed a ubuntu server 12.04, installed dhcp3-server and tftpd-hpa (according to https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html) and put in /var/lib/tftpboot the http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz (and then | 10:29 |
| libellulelly | extract the files) | 10:29 |
| tenX | bazhang: also i was only responding. but somehow i've always been the one to be hung | 10:29 |
| libellulelly | the dhcp server is working, but my client, after the information about ip, subnet etc, show me a message: TFTP. PXE-T01: File not found | 10:30 |
| libellulelly | in the dhcpd.conf i tried to pass pxelinux.0 from the symbolic link and also the file in ubuntu-installer/i386... | 10:30 |
| libellulelly | what am i doing wrong? :) | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | libellulelly: don'y you have a dhcp server in your network already? | 10:31 |
| libellulelly | no | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | libellulelly: like a router? | 10:31 |
| libellulelly | the only active is that one i configured | 10:31 |
| libellulelly | and it works | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | libellulelly: gotcha | 10:31 |
| tenX | libellulelly: pxe? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tenX: network boot | 10:32 |
| libellulelly | the issue is about the location of the file i think | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | or permissions on the file perhaps. | 10:33 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 10:34 |
| Han_ | hello | 10:35 |
| Case_ | I am hoping someone can help me. I am running 12.04 64bit Server. Anytime the server is rebooted, I have to run "echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null" to get anything to work in apt-get. (install, update, or upgrade) does anyone have any idea what would cause this? | 10:35 |
| Han_ | a question | 10:35 |
| tenX | libellulelly: well just guessing but could it be a path issue? | 10:35 |
| Han_ | is it possible to deactivate the network function | 10:35 |
| oCean | cntb: you can /msg ubottu !unity to use the bot in private | 10:35 |
| Han_ | by faulty entering sleep mode? | 10:35 |

| Han_ | I mean | 10:35 |
| Han_ | first of all | 10:35 |
| tenX | libellulelly: the err indicates it, wrong server/path/imagename? | 10:35 |
| Han_ | entering sleep does not work | 10:35 |

| Case_ | Static | 10:36 |
| libellulelly | pxelinux.0 in /var/lib/tftpboot is a symbolic link that points to /ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0 | 10:36 |
| libellulelly | i tried to substitute it | 10:36 |

| oCean | libellulelly: please try to keep your posts in single line, not using enter after every few words | 10:37 |

| libellulelly | ok oCean :) | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | Han_: common bug and issue. no idwa. i dont yse sleep | 10:37 |
| Anduck | hi. soo, anyone been posting some hex codes in here? | 10:37 |
| tenX | libellulelly: but it definitely sounds like a path/server/filename error to me | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | Anduck: huh? | 10:37 |
| Han_ | well I broke down a friend's pc by doing this | 10:37 |
| Anduck | i heard someone pasted here a small string containing hex | 10:38 |
| Anduck | and i need it | 10:38 |
| libellulelly | tenX: its all ok, pxe is triggered by the client, and tftpclient try to pass via tftp protocol the image to my client. But the pxelinux.0 is not found... for a reason i don't know and can't see | 10:38 |
| oCean | Anduck: how is that Ubuntu related? | 10:38 |
| Case_ | Nothing special, just normal conf | 10:38 |

| ubottu | Anduck: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 10:38 |
| Anduck | oCean: i don't know. | 10:38 |
| Han_ | we tried upgrade | 10:38 |
| Anduck | thanks :) | 10:38 |
| Anders- | Anyone able to help with Dovecot? | 10:38 |
| oCean | Anduck: this channel is for technical ubuntu support only | 10:38 |
| tenX | libellulelly: have you checked it manually? | 10:38 |
| quixotedon | !dovecot | Anduck | 10:38 |
| ubottu | Anduck: IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol | 10:38 |
| tenX | libellulelly: dl from tftp? | 10:39 |
| oCean | Anders-: just ask your question (detailed) in the channel. Although #ubuntu-server might be better suited for your query | 10:39 |
| Han_ | is an upgrade the only way and keeping files? | 10:39 |
| SolarisBoy | Case_: do you use NetworkManager? if it's blank as in completely blank I have seen that when you do static via interfaces and don't set any resolver, if it's being overwritten by something and ending up blank - you should probably set the name servers in the utility your using to config network | 10:39 |
| tenX | libellulelly: within your config setup | 10:39 |
| libellulelly | tenX: good question, it's worth trying | 10:39 |
| SolarisBoy | in short it seems you don't have a nameserver configured statically | 10:39 |
| Anders- | oCean: Thanks. I will give them a try, if not... I might be back. | 10:39 |
| SolarisBoy | and/or you are running something overwriting it (network manager) | 10:39 |
| tenX | libellulelly: dont remember how that setup is to be configured | 10:40 |
| hipitihop | I have a new intel rig and I have tried live cd 12.04 & 10.04 and also 12.04 on usb flash stick, all three show initial purple screen and then black screen flashing cursor. Can someone help debug this with me | 10:40 |
| SolarisBoy | Case_: generally there will be a comment line (denoted by beginning with a #) saying which program or library wrote to the file last | 10:40 |
| tenX | libellulelly: do you specify the path/filename of the image server side? | 10:40 |
| dr_willis | Han_: its possible a kernel update will eventually fix the issue. check bug reports to see if its been reported | 10:40 |
| tenX | libellulelly: must be | 10:40 |
| Anduck | oCean: what is the ubuntu discussion channel? | 10:40 |
| tenX | libellulelly: anything else wouldnt make no sense | 10:41 |
| libellulelly | tenX: i followed these instrutions https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html to install dhcp server + tftp server and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot to know where to take the image | 10:41 |
| oCean | Anduck: there is #ubuntu-discuss (for ubuntu specific topics) and #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat | 10:41 |
| tenX | libellulelly: too drunk to read :D | 10:41 |
| Anduck | ok, thanks | 10:41 |
| libellulelly | tenX: yes i have to pass pxelinux.0 | 10:41 |
| tenX | okay | 10:41 |
| tenX | libellulelly: you should check the syntax for that deployment | 10:41 |
| tenX | libellulelly: definitely sounds like the client is trying to pxe | 10:42 |
| Anders- | Well, I'm back. | 10:42 |
| tenX | libellulelly: but cant find the image | 10:42 |
| hipitihop | is there a way to see terminal trace or log of initial livecd boot that hangs ? | 10:42 |
| libellulelly | tenX: i try to tftp from windows pxelinux.0 and it does work :O | 10:43 |

| tenX | libellulelly: if it works on windoze something must be wrong ;) | 10:43 |
| hipitihop | ActionParsnip, how do I do that on a live cd ? | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | hipitihop | 10:44 |
| ubottu | hipitihop: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 10:44 |
| tenX | libellulelly: what is the pxe config option for the image? | 10:45 |
| tenX | libellulelly: and is it seperate from the server ip? | 10:45 |
| libellulelly | tenX: it's all in dhcpd.conf | 10:46 |
| andrewb80 | please help! My sony vaio running 12.04 has been giving me problems. When I attempt to restart or shut down it just goes to the black screen with the linux commands to shut down and stays idle in a black screen but does not power down and will not turn back on unless I do a shut down by holding my power button. Please help I just upgraded to 12.04 from 11 and still same problem. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | andrewb80: if you run: sudo shutdown -h now does it turn off ok? | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | andrewb80: thats a somewhat common issue. you checked the forums and askubuntu.com for your exact model laptop? | 10:53 |

| sonik | Hi everyone I am Sonik | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | Anduck: not supriseong it has lag. | 10:55 |
| andrewb80 | dr_willis: I did find a problem with my ram cover the contacts were not macking contact on the frame and that did fix and issue with my screen shutting down and not turning back on. also it would get stuck on the Vaio screen before loading ubuntu. since I fixed the contacts it seems to do that less. but sometimes gets stuck. and I know this sounds stupid but bending the screen a tiny bit close to the top gets it to load | 10:56 |
| Anduck | dr_willis: yeah but i am looking for nondelayed one. the one i got linked at got 2 hours delay which is too much for this case | 10:56 |
| Anders- | I don't want to be rude, but was anyone able to help with my Dovecot problem? | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | andrewb80: flakey hardware and soldered Connections it seems | 10:57 |
| Anders- | #ubuntu-server wasn't any help. | 10:57 |
| bazhang | Anduck, thats enough. there is no non-delayed one. it's not a n ubuntu issue | 10:57 |
| joeress | hello everyone | 10:57 |

| bazhang | newbie|3, the one made by google? | 10:59 |
| newbie|3 | yup | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | newbie|3: google has their own repos for some things | 11:00 |
| joeress | dr_willis: 2 finger scroll | 11:00 |
| joeress | strangely 2 finger click works | 11:00 |
| andrewb80 | dr_willis: I thought it sounded like a hardware issue. Since all this stuff happened I have three lines down my screen, I thought it was from my bending the monitor. I hook it up through component cable to my bravia 40 in. and the screen is clear. so I do have a screen connection fault or screen fault Im sure. but could that cause a shutdown and start up fault like I have. Like a problem with not receiving a message from the scr | 11:00 |
| andrewb80 | een or something? sorry if this seems obvious but Im a newb and I just recently made the best decision of my life switching to Ubuntu | 11:00 |

| jwcarman | ikonia: okay, sounds easy, but what if the resource monitor UI hangs up, too? | 11:37 |

| help2222 | no difference | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | help2222: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 11:48 |
| ikonia | it's not his kernel taking up space | 11:49 |
| ikonia | the issue is he's downloading to external storage and it's taking up space on local storage | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | help2222: also add: df -h; sudo fdisk -l; mount | 11:49 |
| ikonia | cleaning the kernel won't change that | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: added some other good stuff :) | 11:49 |
| ikonia | it's pointless cleaning up, until you know what's taking his space and where | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: fine, but the extra commands will help | 11:50 |
| help2222 | ikonia yeah i know. on windows there are specific places where you store files | 11:50 |
| help2222 | on unbuntu i don't know any | 11:50 |

| ActionParsnip | help2222: can you run the commands I gave please and give the output. Thanks | 11:51 |
| help2222 | maybe ubuntu keep caching my downloaded files then it transfer part of it slowly thru the LAN? | 11:51 |
| help2222 | ActionParsnip: it only happens when i download | 11:51 |

| help2222 | no problem with older kernel images. i removed them all | 11:51 |

| pv2b | I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad X121e running Lubuntu 12.04 that I'm having some trouble with sound on. According to "aplay -l", card 0 is the HDMI audio output, and the actual analog output (that I actually want to use) is on card 1. Now, unfortunately, according to cat /proc/asound/modules - both card 0 and card 1 are using the snd_hda_intel driver, so the normal advice you get on the web to use /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to statically assign | 11:52 |
| pv2b | indices to cards based on their drivers won't work. So, how can I get my analog sound card to be card 0? Or - more generally - is there anyway to renumber the sound cards *after* the drivers have been loaded? (Would be handy when switching to a USB headset for example.) | 11:52 |
| bekks | jwcarman: I was just wondering why the disk image resides on "Z:" | 11:52 |

| pv2b | index=1,-2 might be better though, i dunno. | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: worth a try, its easily changed | 12:05 |
| pv2b | but that still leaves me with the general query - is there any way to change card 0 at run-time? i'd rather not have to vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot every time i want to switch to my USB headphones :P or the same people I mocked back in windows 95 for having to reboot to change their IP address will get the better of me. | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: I believe if you use: alsa --reload it will rerad the file | 12:06 |

| pv2b | nope, that doesn't do it. I just tried commenting out my line in alsa-base.conf and do an alsa reload (not alsa --reload) and the sound card indices remain the same. they remain the same even if i try explicitly saying index=0,1 | 12:08 |

| samster34 | ActionParsnip: ok, will try. thanks | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: you could unload then reload the sound module :) | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: you may need to kill pulseaudio, you can make a little script | 12:11 |

| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: won't removing the reloading the module mean the config is re-read? | 12:15 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: okay, let's take a step back. i want to be able to change what sound card is card0 in alsa - to achieve the goal of changing the default sound card for applications without having to reboot the machine. my mac does this. win7 does this. i would expect it to be possible somehow in linux as well. or is there another approach I could use to acheive the same result? | 12:15 |
| moljac024 | is there a package that needs to be installed for software center to be able to display screenshots? a package that's not a dependency maybe? | 12:16 |
| moljac024 | maybe some part of gnome? i'm not using gnome at all | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: try the module remove/reload | 12:17 |
| ikonia | moljac024: I don't think every package has a screen shot | 12:17 |
| moljac024 | ikonia: i know, but i can't see screenshots even for those that have them | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, perhaps a logout-login ? frankly I've never tried thattho | 12:17 |
| pv2b | logout-login is practically just as bad as having to reboot the machine :( | 12:18 |

| Saiki | LjL: I was refering to the packages containing them | 12:19 |
| pv2b | actionparsnip: that does seem to work. but i rebooted since i tried the alsa reload. | 12:21 |
| pv2b | and now alsa reload is working | 12:21 |

| samster34 | ActionParsnip: I'm going to try a clean install, do the update-pciids first, then install the nvidia driver, and maybe then nvidia-xconfig will be able to properly configure the screens? | 13:08 |

| samster34 | ActionParsnip, hey, so I did a clean install and the driver works, and it seems only my first screen can't be configured, the other two are now working fine | 13:27 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | thanks guys | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: ahh, did you upgrade from Oneiric before? | 13:28 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip, no, that was a clean install as well | 13:28 |
| samster34 | the difference might have been, I didn't reboot but restart lightdm instead right after installing the driver | 13:28 |
| samster34 | and I did the update-pciids before any of that | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: weird stuff :) | 13:29 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: so, how do I go about making my first screen work? | 13:29 |
| samster34 | aw. | 13:29 |
| silverarrow | is anyone good with terminal? like unmount CD and eject? | 13:30 |
| samster34 | I have 3 screens connected, and for 2 of them the correct display modes are automatically detected, but for some reason not for the fist screen. it's a dual link 2560x1440 screen, don't know if that makes a difference or not | 13:31 |
| silverarrow | this kind of touble is what there are actions parsnips for | 13:31 |

| samster34 | aguitel: can I just restart lightdm again? | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, check for the nvidia gui in apps , my recall of the unity and gnome apps menu isn't very good ..kde here | 13:44 |
| aguitel | samster34: restart system | 13:44 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: I have the GUI open, it's just...you can only save the config, not apply it now.. | 13:44 |
| silverarrow | dr_willis: not sure about grub either, I'm new to ppc and linux combo | 13:45 |
| ssta | samster34: you generally have to restart the X server to apply config changes | 13:45 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: ok, well the GUI doesn't show any info about the first screen either, and the acquire EDID button is greyed out.. | 13:45 |
| samster34 | so how do I go about configuring it? | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, have you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ..best that it's run at a TTY , with gdm or lightdm stopped | 13:46 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: I already did that many times | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | on this install ? | 13:46 |

| ari-santihiyu | excuse ikonia me what's the difference between wine and qemu? | 13:59 |
| ssta | wine is an API replacement layer...qemu is a processor emulation layer | 13:59 |
| IsUp | hello | 13:59 |
| compdoc | ari-santihiyu, qemu is a virtual machine. wine emulates windows | 13:59 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: I gave it another try anyway, and the nvidia-xconfig generated config leaves my two working screens with a bright gray, and the first one still doesn't work. | 14:00 |
| ari-santihiyu | theenk yuu, so if I want to use a windows program inside ubuntu, what's the better compdoc? | 14:01 |
| IsUp | i am running 12.04 on Hyper-V, i have 1 nic and i am able to reach to my server from outside. i need to add 2nd public IP but it's using another gateway. so basicly i want to add eth0:0 but its not working | 14:01 |
| ari-santihiyu | qemu is better but requires more CPU? | 14:01 |
| bekks | IsUp: Of course thats not working, because a second nic will be eth1 and not eth0:0 | 14:02 |
| IsUp | bekks: i want to use one nic. is that possible? | 14:02 |
| bekks | IsUp: No. | 14:02 |
| ssta | IsUp: it's certainly possible...I've done it | 14:02 |
| IsUp | ssta: i've heard "bridging" interface or something but i am kinda noob on networking | 14:03 |
| IsUp | here is my current configuration: http://pastebin.ca/2168763 | 14:03 |
| bekks | ssta: Two virtual IP on the same physical NIC residing in different subnets? Show us a working example please. | 14:03 |
| ssta | IsUp: bridging is something else. What exactly do you want to do? | 14:03 |
| ssta | bekks: it's a common configuration. | 14:03 |
| compdoc | ari-santihiyu, qemu is great for running a server that doesnt need fast screen display, like for games. ANd for running the wndows VM automatically each time you boot Ubuntu. Depends what you want to do, but if you want fast video, even for programs like Adobe Illustrator, use Virtualbox | 14:03 |
| IsUp | yes, different subnets and gateways in my case | 14:03 |
| compdoc | I use qemu because I run Windows Server, and Linux servers | 14:04 |
| ari-santihiyu | OK theenk yuu | 14:04 |
| bekks | compdoc: I am using VirtualBox for doing the same thing, but much faster than qemu. | 14:05 |
| IsUp | bekks: i can add 2nd nic but somehow ive never make it working. so ive removed 2nd nic | 14:05 |
| ssta | bekks: do something like: sudo ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, I'm sorry , but i have no experience with multiple screens personally , my recommendations are based on suggestions by other multi screen users experiences , perhaps you could ask in the chat in general , maybe someone else can help. | 14:05 |
| bekks | ssta: Then how would you assign a second gateway on that virtual nic? | 14:05 |
| ssta | bekks: route add ..... | 14:06 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: It's not about multiple screens. the first screen won't work at all, no matter if the other screens are connected or not | 14:06 |
| bekks | ssta: a second default gateway? :) | 14:06 |
| ssta | bekks: if they're different subnets, it should work fine. | 14:06 |
| ssta | bekks: no, you can only have one defaulty gateway | 14:06 |
| bekks | Having two default gateways is never supposed to be working. | 14:06 |
| compdoc | ari-santihiyu, virtualbox can do most everything, and its faster, but it isnt really meant to run an OS as a server 24/7 | 14:06 |
| ssta | bekks: I didn't suggest it would | 14:06 |
| bekks | ssta: IsUp was asking on how to set that up. | 14:07 |
| IsUp | ssta: i can see 2nd gateway on 'route -n' | 14:07 |
| ssta | bekks: he didn't mention second default gateway that I saw... | 14:07 |
| samster34 | http://i.imgur.com/X1Amx.png this is the nvidia-settings page for the screen...there are no options, I can't do anything | 14:07 |
| bekks | IsUp: second gateway is different from second default gateway. | 14:07 |
| csaba_pap | hi! my os randomly freeze (ubuntu 12.04). I read that others have the same problem... Is anyone know a solution for this? | 14:07 |
| IsUp | let me pbin my route -n output | 14:08 |
| IsUp | here: http://pastebin.ca/2168765 | 14:08 |
| ssta | IsUp: each gateway configured is for a dofferent 'network' (of whatever size). Anything NOT for that network goes over the "default" gateway. You can only have one default gateway | 14:08 |
| IsUp | ssta: ok then should i add 2nd nic? | 14:09 |
| ssta | IsUp: it won't help | 14:09 |
| ssta | IsUp: this isn't an issue of how many NICs you have. | 14:09 |
| samster34 | help, anyone? how can I add displaymodes to a screen? | 14:10 |
| ssta | IsUp: you haven't given the virtual interface a gateway... | 14:10 |
| IsUp | ssta: okay, understood. what should i do in this case? | 14:10 |
| ssta | IsUp: what exactly do you want it to DO? | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, pastebin the output , dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 14:11 |
| caspinol | Hello, I installed a arm compiler on my system for Codesourcery. I added it to a PATH but for some reason programs do not see it. I keep getting: "/bin/sh: arm-none-eabi-cc: command not found" while running make file or in Eclipse can anybody advise please?? | 14:11 |
| IsUp | ssta: i need to make it working 2nd IP. but as i said i have 2 IPs with different gateways/subnets | 14:11 |
| IsUp | ssta: i dont know the best approach, if needed i can setup another virtual server and run 2nd IP on it | 14:12 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: how does that help with the screen? | 14:12 |
| ssta | IsUp: that's fine...you need to setup the second IP with a gateway and make one of them "default" | 14:12 |
| IsUp | ssta: okay adding 'gateway' in interfaces is enough for this? | 14:12 |
| ssta | IsUp: you will probably need to create some if-up scripts to do thisd | 14:12 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/EcLZvhTY | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, it will give us a list of the drivers and nvidia apps installed | 14:13 |
| ssta | IsUp: not sure, but probably not. You need to run: "route add gw <ip address> <interface>" for one of them, and "route add default gw <ip address> <interface>" for the other | 14:13 |
| samster34 | the issue is doesnt seem to be driver, it's the driver not auto detecting the monitor's display modes | 14:14 |
| IsUp | ssta: okay i am not adding 'gateway' then. just trying route, right? | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, run an update and upgrade , your nvidia settings needs it | 14:14 |
| ssta | IsUp: I don't know if there is magic in /etc/networks/interfaces to do that for you. Have a look at "man 5 interfaces" to find out. Putting scripts in /etc/networks/if-up.d will definitely work | 14:15 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: can I just upgrade these? I don't want to spend an eternity upgrading libreoffice... | 14:15 |
| IsUp | ssta: to be sure, should i run 'add gw' or 'add gw default'? | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, well ,sometimes a little patience is required :) | 14:17 |
| ssta | IsUp: you can only have ONE default... | 14:17 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: Well, my wirless connection sucks with ubuntu, and downloads take forever. I've been spending WEEKS trying to get ubuntu to work, and I'm kinda running out of patience :) | 14:18 |
| ssta | IsUp: it's the one it uses if nothing else matches | 14:18 |
| IsUp | ssta: okay, one last question. i can see '2nd IP's gateway' on 'route -n', why is that? | 14:18 |
| IsUp | ssta: and how can i remove this entry? i want to delete it before running the commands you gave me | 14:19 |
| ssta | IsUp: no you can't. The paste you provided didn't give a gateway for that NIC...only a subnet. So it will ONLY route traffic for that subnet to that NIC | 14:19 |
| ssta | IsUp: route del... | 14:19 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: apt-get says nvidia-settings is already the newest version... | 14:19 |
| anthology | test | 14:20 |

| IsUp | ssta: is that normal 'RTNETLINK answers: File exists' ? | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | yes , I'm aware what your issue is samster34. Are you sure the 302.17 driver is the recommended driver in restricted drivers ? | 14:35 |
| samster34 | BluesKaj: I'm not sure of anything | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | samster34, i know you're focused on the xconf file , but if the wrong driver is in use then the settings won't be available in the nvidis GUI | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | nvidia GUI | 14:40 |
| samster34 | it's not the driver, I think the screen isn't playing nice with the EDID | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: is the screen reporting EDID? | 14:41 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: I dunno. It doesn't look like it. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: you can check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: good screens do it :) | 14:42 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: what am I looking for in the log file | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: 'edid', you can even run: grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make the system do it for you | 14:43 |
| samster34 | [ 57.350] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device DFP-0 is invalid: the | 14:44 |
| samster34 | [ 57.350] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): checksum for EDID version 1 extension is invalid. | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: doesn't look great, the screen isn't reporting EDID, you'll need to tell the driver what refreshes to use and so forth | 14:45 |
| samster34 | yup | 14:45 |

| samster34 | ActionParsnip: hold on, I saw a thing somewhere about exporting the EDID from win7 and listing the binary file in the xconfig | 14:46 |

| oCean | gRAVIty_: no need to repeat that quickly | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: try: sudo dhclient3 eth0 | 14:58 |
| gRAVIty_ | oCean: ok | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | gRAVIty_, ifconfig , look beside inet | 14:58 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: does it work better than dhclient eth0? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: worth a try | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | i bet the 2 commands are the same | 14:59 |
| gRAVIty_ | BluesKa: When it does not work ifconfig gives IPV6 address | 14:59 |

| BluesKaj | gRAVIty_, set your router IPv4 as default | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: its a symlink | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: /sbin/dhclient3: symbolic link to `dhclient' | 15:00 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: can you look into this thread . I have very detailed diagnosis for the problem | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: do you use IPv6? | 15:00 |
| Toph2 | excalibr,,, well, all i can suggest is you play around under 'View' in Nautilus and see what some of the options give you | 15:01 |
| gRAVIty_ | BluesKaj: already done that | 15:01 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: I dont use IPv6 | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: could disable it in the kernel with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 15:01 |
| dr_willis | if using a router.. why not just set a static ip for the box. and let the router reserve it. | 15:01 |
| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis: I have a dynamic IP from the ISP and I dont have a router | 15:02 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: I tried this http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2011/01/quick-tip-how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html | 15:02 |
| gRAVIty_ | shoudl I try the boot option u suggested? | 15:02 |
| gRAVIty_ | now? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: could try setting a static IP in your subnet and set the gateway as the router's internal IP, see if it pings... | 15:03 |

| gRAVIty_ | Btw it is sporadic. This happens only sometimes. | 15:03 |
| oCean | Erealz: please mind your language in this channel | 15:03 |
| dr_willis | klj613: thats the 'overscan settings' causing issues. tweak the option on the tv. or the video card config settings. | 15:04 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: Ihave no router. I think I need to get a router to try your method | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: is the ethernet cable ok? have you tried a different port on the router? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: then whet does the wire connect to? | 15:04 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: i am right now chatting with the same ethernet cable on windows | 15:04 |
| Erealz | hello everyone im running ubuntu server for the first time and i like to have autu backup now and again i herd bacula is the great! for this but also herd it might be overkill and over complicated for my small needs?...so what say you what would you recommend? | 15:04 |
| klj613 | dr_willis, not sure what to tweak but i'll google it, at least i got a keyword to seach now (overscan issue) :) thanks | 15:04 |
| dr_willis | klj613: my tv let me turn it off in its settings. | 15:04 |
| bekks | Erealz: No need to repeat it once a minute. If someone knows the answer, you'll get the answer. :) | 15:04 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: The cable connects to a small box with two pins RJ-45 and ODU. It is a wireless wired net. I have a box on top of my house which connects to my computer through this small box | 15:05 |

| klj613 | dr_willis, ah, i see what you mean. thanks! :) | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: I'd try the static IP, just to test | 15:05 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: can I try without a router? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: sure, just set the same IP settings as you have in windows, IP, gateway and DNS server | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | nrdb: make them in your Desktop directory perhaps with the file manager? | 15:06 |
| klj613 | what the best way to manage the GPU fanspeeds? is there anything which will increase the fanspeed as the temp increases. | 15:07 |

| dr_willis | klj613: thats how it works normally from wwhat ive seen on my laptops | 15:09 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: I just have to set these things in the network manager right? | 15:09 |
| nrdb | dr_willis, there used to be a simple way to do this... now it has to be done by creating the .desktop file manually... which is a real pain... and error prone ... why was the previous method removed? | 15:09 |
| priyanka | Hi | 15:10 |
| dr_willis | nrdb: i just drag/drop a existing .desktop file if needed.. ask the gnome-devs.. i imagine its part of the 'less cluttered desktop' mindset. I dont put any icons on my desktop | 15:10 |
| priyanka | any one there | 15:10 |
| dr_willis | 1000+ people here priyanka | 15:10 |
| klj613 | dr_willis, my fan speeds seem a bit fast at the moment, when the load should be low. on windows i used msi afterburner to do my own settings (e.g. get to x degrees, go to x% speed) | 15:11 |

| dr_willis | gRAVIty_: unless they change your ip# again? ;P | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: suprised you didn't just sety it anyway, its a wired connection so you don't need DHCP as the system isn't going anywhere | 15:20 |
| dr_willis | or did i miss some fancy fix? | 15:20 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParsnip: Really. I had atleast 2 mods of ubuntuforums helping me out and it did not work | 15:20 |

| dr_willis | err.. if the isp is setting a dynamic ip.. then it can change. and need dhcp. but not for the DNS. ? | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | gRAVIty_: any wired systems I put no static IP and uninstall network manager, makes the OS sleeker | 15:21 |
| gRAVIty_ | ActionParssnip: I tried adding those two lines in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:21 |
| gRAVIty_ | it did not work | 15:22 |

| falstaf | I dont know how to check that -- | 15:31 |
| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis: hmm. thats confusing. I was thinking the IP gets assigned to the router and the IP on my laptop will be assigned by the router. Is that correct? | 15:31 |
| OerHeks | falstaf, my MCB works great with this driver > " sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer " | 15:31 |

| gigix | Nogal: 1st issue -> telepathy is related to your Instant Messenging stuff. What component of telepathy is crashing ? Normally the crash report should mention telepathy-something, this something is important to know. | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | router has a wan ip from the isp. and a lan ip for the home lan | 15:32 |
| pv2b | falstaf: try what OerHeks just suggested. it was what worked for me as well, although I had to install the firmware manually because my card was "not tested" | 15:32 |

| pv2b | copy what you want to paste into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:33 |
| pv2b | it'll give you a link, you paste that link here | 15:33 |
| quixotedon | falstaf: just copy the line of texts then paste it there at paste.ubuntu.com as Nogal and pv2b said | 15:33 |
| pv2b | ( would be awesome if IRC clients would have a sort of "automatic pastebin". ) | 15:34 |
| lysergide | arent these rooms logged | 15:35 |
| quixotedon | pv2b: to know that it only can send one line of text is hurting.. :( | 15:35 |
| gigix | Nogal: if you still have the report somewhere, could you check if it looks like one of these bugs ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-salut | 15:35 |
| quixotedon | !log | lysergide | 15:35 |
| ubottu | lysergide: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 15:35 |
| pv2b | pastebin is a good thing though, stops walls of texts appearing in a middle of a conversation. there's nothing about the IRC protocol that precludes you from posting a lot of text, just server-side limits and general netiquette. | 15:36 |
| Nogal | gigix: is that the /var/crash/*telepathy-salut.1000.crash file? | 15:36 |
| josejr | hello | 15:37 |
| OerHeks | pc2b see !pastebinit | 15:37 |
| cntb | !grub2 | 15:37 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 15:37 |
| pv2b | !pastebinit | 15:37 |
| josejr | !grub2 | 15:37 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:37 |
| pv2b | that's pretty cool :-) but i was thinking of more like "you paste something in your IRC client, and it automagically turns that into a pastebin link". I know irssi for example has heuristics (at least it did, when I last used it like 5 years ago) that detect when you paste into the terminal and asks you if you really want to paste. | 15:38 |
| covi | Hi all. Can I simply cut and paste the ### BEGIN and ### END blocks in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, in order to change my boot order? | 15:38 |

| ActionParsnip | covi: do you want windows to be the top? | 15:39 |
| pv2b | covi: the ### BEGIN and ### END "blocks"? those are just comments, so moving them won't change nanything | 15:39 |
| falstaf | Thanks for the help with pastebin I have posted the info | 15:39 |

| covi | pv2b: I mean everything in between as well | 15:40 |
| gigix | I usually leave it open, check which package is concerned and seek for a similar bug in the list | 15:40 |

| gigix | Nogal: can you reproduce the bug ? | 15:41 |
| Nogal | gigix: h/o | 15:41 |
| pv2b | covi: grub.conf is autogenerated so you shouldn't edit it directly or it'll just revert next time you get a kernel update, check the comments at the top of the file | 15:41 |

| shredding | Hey! | 15:48 |
| cntb | I am installing 12.04 lts desktop alongside w7 on ACER aspire one D257 laptop. now w7 wont start and ubuntu boots only with flash stick on . seems grub was installed on flash instead of internal sda | 15:49 |
| pv2b | covi: would it be acceptable to have windows first, ubuntu second, and all older ubuntu kernels below that second entry? but have the default selection be ubuntu? so you'd just hit arrow-up to get to the Windows install. | 15:49 |
| shredding | I need some help with a shell script. | 15:49 |
| Nogal | gigix: it appears to be random. | 15:49 |
| gigix | Nogal: did it happen again ? | 15:49 |
| sw | shredding: you'll need to ask your actual question so that people know what it is to allow them to answer you | 15:49 |
| covi | pv2b: that's cool! | 15:49 |
| Nogal | gigix: no | 15:49 |
| pv2b | falstaf: oh, i shoudl have said, you need to do "sudo modprobe b43" - since it needs to run as root. my mistake. | 15:49 |
| falstaf | Lots of errors -- has to be some kind of software issue ... it ran fine on 11.04 | 15:49 |
| shredding | sw sorry, one sec | 15:50 |
| msq | any one knows how to use kile | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cntb: then run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 15:50 |
| falstaf | okay | 15:50 |
| shredding | sw I have hash=$(echo -n $1$2 | openssl sha1 -hex) as script and it calculates the correct hash. | 15:50 |
| shredding | however, the var $hash is not the hash but (stdin) = hash | 15:50 |
| gigix | Nogal well you can report the bug with "telepathy-salut crashed with signal 5 in g_return_if_fail_warning()" as a title and enclose the crash file with it | 15:50 |
| shredding | How can I get rid of (stdin) and get the pure hash? I'm not that familiar with pipe routing. | 15:51 |
| pv2b | covi: in that case, you can edit /etc/default/grub to change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1 - this'll put the second boot option as your default. and then... | 15:51 |
| gigix | Nogal: and mention that it happens randomly | 15:51 |
| samster34 | hey, not exactly an ubuntu problem, but I'm trying to use imagemagick to merge a bunch of very large images - it returns prematurely though, with no error messages, an incomplete output | 15:51 |
| shredding | sw http://pastebin.com/LeEFZfF4 | 15:52 |
| pv2b | covi: then you do mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober | 15:52 |
| pv2b | covi: then you can do sudo grub-mkconfig | 15:52 |
| pv2b | covi: that *should* change the boot order. | 15:52 |
| covi | pv2b: 09_os-prober? | 15:53 |
| pv2b | covi: yeah, we just want to rename the file 30_os-prober, changing the 30 to 09... so that it appears before the linuxen | 15:53 |

| beaky | ran that, but I still end up with only about ~100MB free disk space :( | 16:04 |
| falstaf | dmesg | 16:04 |
| pv2b | covi: this'll break if you ever install more OS:es on your machine, since the default grub entry is the second one (number 1) | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | beaky: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 16:04 |
| beaky | alright | 16:04 |
| pv2b | covi: so if you have more "other OS:es" installed it'll always pick the second one | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | beaky, how large is the partition ?, you obviously have expand it | 16:05 |

| meoblast001 | TheM4ch1n3: but aside from that, just changing the size should not destroy everything? i mean... no more than on a normal partition | 16:20 |

| TheM4ch1n3 | meoblast001: well it depends, did you use LUKS, because, if you did, you just resize the filesystem after activating the LUKS slice, and remember the encryption step is performed in-between the resizing | 16:22 |

| pv2b | falstaf: i still didn't see the output of apt-get --reinstall install firmware-b43legacy-installer" | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | falstaf, that's good , no errors | 16:42 |
| pv2b | falstaf: that should be able to tell me why the firmware never got installed | 16:42 |
| duhamel | it did have errors and i was tryiong to copy it with ddrescue but it would just shut off after a bit i tried freezing it and it still would stop not ate the same spot in data transfer eitrher.so i gave up on recovery wrote a new partition table and it's still doing it. | 16:42 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | dangercrow: well running it in a VM, should allow the "hardware" to work, and using a very new linux kernel in VirtualBox/vmware/Qemu , would most often need an upgrade of the VM software | 16:42 |
| falstaf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081420/ | 16:43 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | dangercrow: btw, why do you need Java from DSL in a VM, I cannot figure out a use for that ? | 16:43 |
| TonsilloSloth | ActionParsnip: Ran all updates, ubuntu still only displays on 1/4th of the screen (as opposed to full screen in install mode) Isn't there a boot setting I can change to do legacy graphics mode or something? | 16:43 |
| dr_willis | duhamel: i wouldent trust the drive. how old us it? | 16:43 |
| dr_willis | is it? | 16:43 |
| duhamel | it will show up for a bit then the light on the cable im ussing switches to a 3 blink pattern and its gone no matter how i try and list it. | 16:43 |
| dengaku_sco | Im having some trouble getting Ubuntu 12 to work on my thunb drive. i get it installed on the drive and all. but when i boot up, i get a error screen right off in DOS. and after selecting "removeable drive" i get a screen saying "Verifying DMI Data.." which lasts forever. I also tried Unetbootin, but that never fully starts Ubuntu either (keeps going back to the options menu). could I be... | 16:44 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | and why doesn't distrowatch list the kernel version in the OS they talk about ? | 16:44 |
| dengaku_sco | ...doing something wrong or could i have a bad drive? | 16:44 |
| duhamel | about a year old. | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj | duhamel, what about a usb2 input ? | 16:44 |
| duhamel | i am thinkinmg its dying but it doesn't beep or click. | 16:44 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | dengaku_sco: DOS ? | 16:44 |
| pv2b | falstaf: oh, that's odd. so it's not looking in the same place. try this: | 16:44 |
| dangercrow | TheM4ch1n3: I just want to run a java box basically, that's light on RAM and hard disk space | 16:44 |
| === root is now known as Guest10408 | ||
| duhamel | same thing with usb 2 3 esata or internal sata | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | 60gb and recent? seems weird | 16:44 |
| pv2b | sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43legacy | 16:45 |
| dengaku_sco | or bios or watever | 16:45 |
| Macuser | hey i need help! when i installed ubuntu i chose to install ubuntu to the same drive as windows vista and no when i start my computer it automatically goes to ubuntu and i need to start windows vista!!! | 16:45 |
| Macuser | please help! | 16:45 |
| Macuser | now* | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, falstaf why the legacy installer , the b43 driver is the current one for most broadcom BCM43XX chips | 16:45 |
| dangercrow | TheM4ch1n3: But using an ubuntu box gives me the ability to route it through a proxy for when I need to do some testing from an external connection | 16:45 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | dangercrow: well with Java, if its for development and you are simulating low RAM and low sys specs, then I understand | 16:45 |
| duhamel | ubuntu software center grub customizer | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | Macuser: state the issue.. not ranting | 16:45 |
| Macuser | i did | 16:45 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: most - not all. | 16:45 |
| Macuser | look at my first post | 16:45 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | dangercrow: sounds very complicated | 16:46 |
| falstaf | BluesKaj, I am encouraged ... my guess is that editing blacklist | 16:46 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081385/ | 16:46 |
| dangercrow | TheM4ch1n3: Na not really, you basically got the gist of it xD | 16:46 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: that's why i'm telling him to modprobe b43legacy | 16:46 |
| duhamel | Macuser: download and install Grub Customizer and set it to look for other OS (It should by defualt) if not you may have overwritten vista during install | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, yes understood , is the pc really old ? | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | Macuser: you see the windows drives from within ubuntu? | 16:47 |
| Macuser | yes | 16:47 |
| Macuser | i forgot what command i used to check | 16:47 |
| falstaf | the bcm4306 likes the legacy software ... | 16:47 |
| Macuser | but i did see windows vista loader | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | rerun sudo update-grub perhaps | 16:47 |
| Macuser | did that | 16:47 |
| pv2b | falstaf: did you try modprobe b43legacy ? did that run better? | 16:47 |
| falstaf | yes | 16:48 |
| pv2b | falstaf: so you have wifi now? :) | 16:48 |
| falstaf | no it still says no wireless networks found | 16:48 |
| pv2b | anything interesting in the dmesg? | 16:49 |
| falstaf | okay | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, falstaf , ok good to know for future reference , my apologies for the mistaken suggestions | 16:49 |
| Macuser | dr_willis will this help? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-fix-dual-boot-windows-vista-linux.html | 16:50 |
| duhamel | drwillis or BluesKaj do either of you have any ideas or should i assume its the hard drive? I just think it's weird that it seems to be shutting off after a certain ammount of time, not when it reads a bad block, you know? even if i don't touch it it will shut down. | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: tested ram? | 16:50 |
| duhamel | no, what would that do? | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamel: the apps run in ram, so if there is bad ram it may panic the os and cause issues | 16:51 |
| crispus | quick question: when im in gnome, my external usb device automounts, when i load up in another WM, like i3, it doesnt. how can i get this to work like it does in gnome? | 16:51 |
| duhamel | all my other harddrives have no problem. | 16:51 |
| duhamel | but even if i plug it in it mounts and unmounts and writes and reads fine for about a minute. then disappears. | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | crispus: make sure gvfs is running | 16:52 |
| Macuser | dr_willis? | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | crispus: its a gnome service doing it. | 16:52 |
| duhamel | it's the only HDD that's ever done this to me. | 16:52 |
| crispus | ActionParsnip: thanks | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | Macuser: try it and see.. how can i know... | 16:53 |
| crispus | dr_willis: thanks | 16:53 |
| digitalghost | question: I have 2 accounts on my ubuntu desktop. id like one account to have its home folder stored on my ubuntu server, how would i go about that? thanks | 16:53 |
| crispus | i just didnt know what it was called | 16:53 |
| Macuser | dr_willis well the thing is that that link i sent you is to fix the opposite of what my problem | 16:53 |
| Macuser | is | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | crispus: thers other automounting services. | 16:53 |
| crispus | ActionParsnip: what's the right command to have it run? | 16:53 |
| duhamel | my ram is relatively new and not given me any problems that i've noticed so far. | 16:53 |
| Guest10408 | When installing bind, do I need to update the dns entry under /etc/network/interfaces? | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | digitalghost: you could mount each folder via smba/sshfs etc to the remote server, the folders would look local but the actual storage will be on the server | 16:54 |
| crispus | ActionParsnip: im looking at gvfs-, and theres a bunch of options | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | crispus: maybe: /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | duhamel, was the drive acting up in the laptop before you removed it ? | 16:54 |
| falstaf | I am more confused than ever -- | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | crispus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081452/ I have those running here | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | falstaf, which ubuntu version ? | 16:55 |
| pv2b | falstaf: after you did modprobe b43legacy - what turned up in the dmesg? | 16:55 |
| help3333 | hey ! | 16:55 |
| duhamel | I'm not sure i got the laptop with a busted screen and didn't even try to firte it up. the guy that gave it to me said it was running fine but he had to hook up to a monitor. | 16:55 |
| help3333 | how can i take full folder permission | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pv2b: could use: sudo modprobe -vv b43legacy | 16:55 |
| help3333 | ubuntu 11.04 | 16:55 |
| crispus | ActionParsnip: thank you | 16:55 |
| falstaf | BluesKaj, No problem I appreciate all the help -- I learn as I go | 16:55 |
| Oli_ | How do I set mouse polling rate to 500 or 1000Hz permanently, and also turn off mouse smoothing, acceleration, etc? | 16:55 |
| digitalghost | ActionParsnip, would i need to edit something in /etc on both the desktop and server? and how could i auto mount sftp://myaddress/home/user when i log in on my laptop? | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | digitalghost: you could use keys so you don't need a pass and you can add it to the user's startup | 16:56 |
| crispus | ActionParsnip: it appears i have all the same ones running | 16:56 |
| TonsilloSloth | What's a common vga boot option for older machines... vga=791? | 16:56 |
| falstaf | I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Mate as the GUI | 16:56 |
| duhamel | I don't know if i beleive him though, i bought him the laptop and then he gave it back when i fixed his PC. | 16:56 |
| duhamel | He's kind of inconsiderate like that. | 16:57 |
| help3333 | how to take full folder permission all the time !!!!!!!!!!!11 | 16:57 |
| SkippersBoss | help3333, what are you trying to do | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | help3333: you don't need it all the time | 16:57 |
| help3333 | action all the time | 16:57 |
| nothing | m | 16:57 |
| === nothing is now known as Guest99970 | ||
| ActionParsnip | help3333: so when you are surfing the web you need full folder access...no | 16:57 |
| help3333 | yeah i want people ot hack me | 16:58 |
| digitalghost | ActionParsnip, thank you. how can i make it where the user on my laptop has its passwd stored on the server? trying to grab the login from the /etc/shadow from the server | 16:58 |
| help3333 | if they ever care too | 16:58 |
| help3333 | specially that it is linux not windows or mac | 16:58 |
| falstaf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081450/ | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | help3333: they'll have access to all the stored passwords and so forth, its not advised or supported | 16:59 |
| pv2b | falstaf: that is odd. Can you please do an ls -lR /lib/firmware ? | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | help3333: if you want a root shell where you have full access, run: sudo -i | 16:59 |
| help3333 | i care to be hacked | 16:59 |
| optimight | hi .. I am trying to join #haskell ,, but it shows only one person in that channel, any solution? | 16:59 |
| duhamel | Well, thank you to all you sexy computer nerds that tried to help me. I'll just play around, Maybe I'll come back if I still can't get it. | 16:59 |
| help3333 | if you don't mind.. my choice | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | help3333: its not supported here, not my choice. channel policy | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | help3333: so yes, i mind | 17:00 |
| pv2b | it is odd, isn't it, it's as if it's looking in the wrong place for the firmware. | 17:00 |
| optimight | Anybody facing similar problem in joining #haskell or any other channel | 17:00 |
| digitalghost | help3333, pm me | 17:02 |
| Macuser | so can anyone else help me? | 17:03 |
| pv2b | Macuser: i'm sorry, what was your issue now again? | 17:04 |
| Macuser | I installed ubuntu 12.04 for a dual boot with windows vista and now every time i reboot or start my computer it automatically boots ubuntu and i need to boot vista! so how do i get my boot menu back | 17:05 |
| samster34 | hmm...I'm using imagemagick to merge some images, and I'm getting "error: maximum supported resolution is 65500 pixels". I'm certain I was able to create much bigger images with the windows version though... | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: if you run: sudo update-grub do you see windows listed? | 17:05 |
| pv2b | Macuser: okay, so you're not even given the choice to boot? i notice your nickname, is this a standard PC where you're running vista and ubuntu, or are you trying to run it all on a mac? | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: maybe the windows version is compiled different | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, falstaf , you may need to install b43-fwcutter for leagacy firmware | 17:06 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, when you reboot, hold down right shift before ubuntu boots, should be the grub menu, go down to recovery menu.. | 17:06 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: he already has. | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: have you tried in #imagemagick | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | pv2b, ok | 17:06 |
| pv2b | BluesKaj: but for some reason teh driver isn't piiccking it up | 17:06 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: there is such a channel? heh | 17:06 |
| Macuser | ActionParsnip: yes | 17:06 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, then chose grub update | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: if you hold SHIFT at boot, do you see the windows option? | 17:06 |
| Macuser | oh i will try one sec | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | samster34: yes, try it. It's free to try | 17:07 |
| digitalghost | ActionParsnip, is it grub update in recovery mode? its something like that. | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | digitalghost: you can run it in root recovery, yes. You can even run it in a chroot :) | 17:07 |
| Macuser | well it said grub loading and then i let go and it stopped should i try again but hold it the whole time ActionParsnip? | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: yes hold it down til grub shows | 17:08 |
| Macuser | ok | 17:08 |
| gitesh | nm, solved(50%). | 17:08 |
| falstaf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081480/ | 17:08 |
| Macuser | well i tried and it says grub loading and then it starts to boot ubuntu. | 17:08 |
| Macuser | :( | 17:08 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, if windows is not on the list to boot pick recovery | 17:08 |
| Macuser | well it doesn't give me a list digitalghost | 17:08 |
| Macuser | it just says loading GRUB.. and then starts my ubuntu boot | 17:09 |
| digitalghost | ActionParsnip, ok now you can walk him how to do the grub update in chroot. :) | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | falstaf, what does , wlist wlan0 scan , output ? | 17:09 |
| Macuser | i knew this had to do something with chroot | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | digitalghost: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video why bother | 17:09 |
| pv2b | falstaf: ls: cannot open directory /lib/firmware/b43legacy: Permission denied --- that's very odd. | 17:10 |
| pv2b | falstaf: that's exactly the spot i wanted to look. | 17:10 |
| BlouBlou | I've just plugged my electric guitar to my PC. is there any good program to modify the sound? | 17:10 |
| digitalghost | ActionParsnip, ahh.. good point..if Macuser seen that message. | 17:10 |
| pv2b | falstaf: ls -ald /lib/firmware/b43legacy please | 17:10 |
| Macuser | yes i did | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | zing | 17:10 |
| falstaf | is it possible there are too many drivers installed b43 and b43 legacy b43 ssb | 17:11 |
| pv2b | falstaf: not really, as long as it's picking the right one | 17:11 |
| pv2b | falstaf: which we're doing using modprobe | 17:11 |
| pv2b | falstaf: just them sitting on the hard drive won't harm you as long as we're just trying to determine a working driver manually, once we have a dirver working it might be neccessary to blacklist the incorrect drivers | 17:11 |
| bekks | pv2b: Are you doing that as root? | 17:12 |
| digitalghost | ill bet not | 17:12 |
| pv2b | bekks: he wasn't doing it as root. but still, that folder should still be user-accessible. | 17:12 |
| bekks | Normally, I user should have no access to device firmware at all. | 17:12 |
| pv2b | it's just a file on the disk. most of the stuff is readable. but i still find it odd that even with modprobe b43legacy that it's looking in the b43 fodler for the correct firmware | 17:13 |
| samster34 | ActionParsnip: well, seems there's nobody in there :) | 17:14 |
| bekks | pv2b: Because both drivers are using the same firmware. | 17:14 |
| falstaf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081489/ | 17:14 |
| gitesh | can you help fix this ? :- http://s11.postimage.org/fpxxb976b/Screenshot_from_2012_07_08_22_40_52.png | 17:14 |
| pv2b | falstaf: i notice you're taking a while to respond with pastes, is it because you're having to switch between computers or something? | 17:14 |
| pv2b | i'm only asking to see if we can streamline this so we can get somewhere quicker :) | 17:15 |
| falstaf | No it is a slow computer --- and a slow operator | 17:15 |
| pv2b | falstaf: fair enough | 17:15 |
| pv2b | falstaf: can you do another output of lsmod? as it is in this current state. | 17:15 |
| Macuser | hey digitalghost you still there? | 17:16 |
| Macuser | i need help on one step | 17:16 |
| digitalghost | yes | 17:16 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, om | 17:16 |
| digitalghost | ok | 17:16 |
| Macuser | um so i am root now and i need to do grub-install /dev/sda? is that right? | 17:17 |
| digitalghost | if that is the right device | 17:17 |
| Macuser | how do i know | 17:17 |
| digitalghost | did you chroot /dev/sda1 | 17:17 |
| falstaf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081496/ | 17:17 |
| jtrucks | how do I install a GPG key for a 3rd party repo that I've put in sources.list.d? | 17:17 |
| Macuser | no i did sudo chroot /mnt | 17:17 |
| pv2b | falstaf: oh, you still have the b43 driver loaded | 17:18 |
| pv2b | falstaf: we need to unload tha | 17:18 |
| Macuser | i think that's how i got to root | 17:18 |
| pv2b | falstaf: sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43legacy | 17:18 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, first do sudo fdisk -l and see what device are there | 17:18 |
| Macuser | yes and i want the divice that says Linux | 17:18 |
| Macuser | so i would do grub-install /dev/sda(what ever number is for linux) digitalghost | 17:18 |
| Macuser | or would i do just sda? digitalghost | 17:19 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, then do sudo chroot /dev/sda1 or what ever the device you need to install it to. | 17:19 |

| Macuser | hey digitalghost for some reason it won't let me unmount. | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | khan, just ask your question | 17:24 |
| jnordb | You can boot from the usb or cd, then install boot-repair...it will fix it for you. | 17:24 |
| RandNum | Is there a way to manually configure grub? | 17:24 |
| pv2b | casey: ubuntu is based on debian, in so far that it uses the same package manager. but the repositories are different | 17:24 |
| RandNum | yes I can boot from usb/cd I'm actually looking at a terminal now. I will try boot repair is that a 3rd party program? | 17:24 |
| khan | i use sudo apt-get update ..updaing but in and it said failed to fetch archive not found | 17:24 |

| Macuser | well hold on | 17:25 |
| Macuser | i will try the right shift thing again | 17:25 |
| digitalghost | Macuser, ok | 17:25 |
| jtrucks | dist-upgrade or just specify them individually? | 17:25 |
| Casey | i'm testing a script to see if its running, I need to add a line to the script so it will make a entry in a log file, what would the line be? | 17:25 |
| Macuser | is that how you get grub? | 17:25 |
| falstaf | figured out a way cut and paste a little faster! | 17:25 |
| bekks | jtrucks: You mean packages from another distro release? | 17:26 |
| jnordb | Google Ubuntu boot-repair...it will tell you how to install it. I think it is in the repos, but it might be in universe or multiverse. | 17:26 |
| MonkeyDust | khan it's a PPA, not supported here | 17:26 |
| Macuser | nope doesn't work | 17:26 |
| jtrucks | bekks: no, they are held back when I do an apt-get upgrade. | 17:26 |
| jtrucks | so I presume it's being cautious for me. (it's a VPS on Xen, so it needs the virtual optimized kernels) | 17:26 |
| jtrucks | Casey: use logger | 17:26 |
| khan | how to remove those ppa? | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: http://ppa.launchpad.net/tldm217/tahutek.net/ubuntu/dists/ that ppa doesn't support precise, I suggest you remove it | 17:26 |
| falstaf | didn't realize that terminal had a select all command. | 17:26 |
| khan | which not found how to remove? | 17:27 |
| Casey | ok how do i get to thw logger | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: use software centre | 17:27 |
| khan | i dont using software center.from command how to remove? | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: you can delete the file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d which is named something containing tahutek | 17:28 |
| MonkeyDust | khan type !ppa-purge to find out | 17:28 |
| khan | ok | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: not a bad call | 17:28 |
| trism | jtrucks: you can do either (apt-get dist-upgrade; or apt-get install linux-image-virtual linux-virtual;) the second is mostly if you have other upgrades that you don't currently want to install | 17:28 |
| jtrucks | Casey: read the man page for 'logger' it's a command that logs for you | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge; sudo ppa-purge ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | khan, alt +f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources list and comment the deb launchpad ppas with # in front , if you have upgarded your OS , then these ppas are nolonger valid for your ubuntu version ,then save thew file and update again | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: either is fine | 17:29 |
| pv2b | falstaf: oh! didn't notice you pasted. let's take a look. | 17:29 |
| jtrucks | trism: cool, thanks for verifying that | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | khan or you can also delete the deb entries if you wish | 17:30 |
| mavri | Hi! | 17:30 |
| Macuser | digitalghost now ubuntu won't even boot... | 17:31 |
| pv2b | falstaf: okay, seems the driver is loaded! have you tried to see if it'll actually work? | 17:31 |
| mavri | Is there a way to crossfading in Banshee? | 17:31 |
| khan | if i remove ppa it will remove my tool also which i dont from that ppa | 17:31 |
| khan | ? | 17:31 |
| BlouBlou | is there any command to force the kill of a process? | 17:31 |
| pv2b | BlouBlou: kill -9 <process ID> | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | it won't remove the tool if it's already installed , khan | 17:32 |
| khan | i am using apt-fat install toolname? | 17:32 |
| khan | apt-fast is ok? | 17:32 |
| BlouBlou | pv2b: doesn't work, system monitor also says that cannot be interrumped | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | never use apt-fast | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | used | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: no, just the ppa | 17:32 |
| lehjr | I'm trying to fill out a bug report for a null pointer issue in Ubuntu 12.10/kernel 3.5 but when I try to do ""sudo lspci -vvnn > sudo_lspci-vvnn.log" the terminal just hangs and hangs with just "sudo". Any ideas? | 17:33 |
| falstaf | is there a scan avialable on cl -- I am still getting no wireless found msg. | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: apt-fast is sweet | 17:33 |
| hex__ | . | 17:33 |
| pv2b | lehjr: most likely it's waiting for your password in sudo. | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | lehjr: Quantal in #ubuntu+1 please | 17:33 |
| embrik | I just purchased a small Phillips PicoPix. I connects to the computer with two USB-cables and it gets electricity from the computer. But Ubuntu can not see it as a projector, just as a USB-device- Does anyone know if it is possible to use it on Ubuntu? Have googled, but haven't found any answers | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | what's so sweet about it ActionParsnip ? | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: apt-fast is great, its not complex either | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | n | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: its apt-get plus axel | 17:33 |
| pv2b | lehjr: do something like "sudo ls" to make sure your session is cached, then try it again. | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: downloads packages from 3 sources rather than one | 17:33 |
| khan | i install apt-fast but i cant see any diffrence | 17:34 |
| lehjr | thanks | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: use apt-fast instead of apt-get in CLI | 17:34 |
| khan | i use apt-get in cli | 17:34 |
| khan | apt-get is fast | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: apt-fast is like what torrents are to http downloading | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | !info apt-fast | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Package apt-fast does not exist in precise | 17:35 |
| khan | how to increase download speed? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: single source (http) or torrents (multiple sources) | 17:35 |
| odsel | !info axel | 17:35 |
| ubottu | axel (source: axel): light download accelerator - console version. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4-1 (precise), package size 50 kB, installed size 216 kB | 17:35 |
| bekks | khan: BY ordering a faster connection at your ISP. | 17:35 |
| GeekAdmin | when running rkhunter, I get a warning for /usr/sbin/cron (under performing file properties checks). Is this something I need to worry about? Anyone know of a good guide on how to properly understand rkhunter and chkrootkit? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: its not official, but very worth it. You can just grab the script file (you don't need the ppa, it just adds niceness to bash-completion) | 17:36 |
| odsel | GeekAdmin: what warning is that? | 17:36 |
| embrik | is it possible to get my new mini-projector from Phillips (PicoPix) to be recognised as it is and no as a usb-device? | 17:36 |
| khan | yes i did | 17:36 |
| Pomme | Hello, I can no longer connect to my account :( When I type my password, the session start, then "it" fails (maybe Xorg) and return to the login screen :( | 17:36 |
| GeekAdmin | odsel: it doesnt say anything really. other than "performing file properties checks" | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | khan: you'll need to remove the PPA if you want smooth updates | 17:37 |
| GeekAdmin | odsel: I'm also getting a warning for /usr/bin/unhide.rb | 17:37 |
| GeekAdmin | Does Ubuntu have some sort of repair install? | 17:37 |
| embrik | Pomme, try to log in in console-mode (CTRL-ALT-F3) | 17:38 |
| falstaf | do yo think a reboot might help? | 17:38 |
| GeekAdmin | Where I can basically totally reinstall ubuntu without having to backup files? | 17:38 |
| Pomme | It works in console mode | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | GeekAdmin: why do you not have a backup? | 17:38 |
| embrik | Romme | 17:38 |
| Pomme | embrik: I used it to create another account | 17:38 |
| embrik | Pomme, Maybe Home is full | 17:39 |
| MonkeyDust | GeekAdmin you can use ubuntu one for an online copy, it's what i have | 17:39 |
| BluesKaj | falstaf, got the wifi connected ? | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Pomme: do you have free space on all partitons | 17:39 |
| GeekAdmin | ActionParsnip: I do actually. Its A LOT of files though and would take forever to add back to drive | 17:39 |
| odsel | GeekAdmin: if you put your /etc and /home in a seperate partition, you probably dont need to backup | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | GeekAdmin: what if your drive fails, where is your data? | 17:39 |
| GeekAdmin | odsel: oh! good idea thanks | 17:39 |
| MonkeyDust | GeekAdmin and it's easier if you have a separat /home partition | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | GeekAdmin: or just run a more frequent backup.... | 17:39 |
| odsel | GeekAdmin: just dont mount them when you do the fresh install | 17:39 |
| Pomme | Yes... I mean "I have a lot of free space, but how could I check ?" | 17:39 |
| GeekAdmin | ActionParsnip: I have my data on 2 different hard drives. External and internal. Then I have my most important files ALSO on my web host server | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Pomme: df -h | 17:39 |
| embrik | Pomme, df -h | 17:39 |
| pv2b | you probably need backups no matter how you're partitioning :P | 17:39 |
| GeekAdmin | odsel: k thanks! | 17:40 |
| falstaf | BluesKaj, I isn't finding wireless networks. | 17:40 |
| Pomme | Max is 34%, so OK, thanks | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | GeekAdmin: sounds like you won't lose anything then, reinstall away | 17:40 |
| Macuser | we'll any other ideas of how i can get vista to run or get boot menu to show? | 17:41 |
| pv2b | falstaf: i'm afraid i have to go for now. i hope somebody in the channel can help you. at least now we have the b43legacy driver running with the firmware correctly installed, so that's something. | 17:41 |
| pv2b | falstaf: as a final advice, you might want to try to reboot - in case an earlier driver put the card in an inconsistent state. | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: could reinstate the vista bootloader, then use the chroot to renstall grub, may help | 17:41 |
| pv2b | and blacklist the b43 driver and any other drivers like wl, bcm43xx or brcmsmac | 17:42 |
| falstaf | pv2b, Thankd for all your help!! I learned a lot! | 17:42 |
| pv2b | good luck, and i hope you manage to get it up | 17:42 |
| Comadrin | hello | 17:42 |
| Macuser | and how would i do that? by the way the video tutorial you sent made my ubuntu not work so i had to do some mounting to get it back | 17:42 |
| === HaVoK is now known as EbonHeart | ||
| falstaf | I will | 17:42 |
| Macuser | ActionParnsip | 17:42 |
| Macuser | ActionParsnip * | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: use the vista cd and you can put the windows loader back on, then he videomay help | 17:43 |
| Guest64670 | hello | 17:43 |
| Macuser | but i my windows loader is on | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: the commands are a little off the, the #-bind' should be '--bind' | 17:43 |

| === ebonheart is now known as EbonHeart | ||
| Comadrin | i searched everywhere on the net but could not figure out why it does not work | 17:45 |
| Macuser | so what should i do now ActionParsnip? | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Macuser: thats all I can suggest. I don't dual boot | 17:45 |
| Comadrin | i will try that right now | 17:46 |
| Comadrin | i will read why i need to use nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 17:46 |
| yakko | hey guys, I just added a new user to my server, but it has a dumb $ sign when Im typing. how can I have joe@localhost:~# like root does? | 17:46 |
| Comadrin | at teh current time my nameserver is set as the DNS nameserver of my ISP | 17:46 |
| Comadrin | *the | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Comadrin: could be the issue, both are worth exploring | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | damm , too late ...missed him , and I'm sure those commands would have worked | 17:47 |
| glosoli | any ideas if I can resize root dir while being on ubuntu itself ? as gparted doesn't let me do that | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | glosoli: you'll need the liveCD | 17:47 |
| yakko | glosoli: open using the cd | 17:47 |
| Comadrin | i am trying this right now. I am new to this so I am int he process of figuring out how it all works ;-) thank you very much for your assistance and attention in this matter | 17:48 |

| RandNum | Ubuntu forced a EFI grub loader on my computer that doesn't support EFI. I think this should be flagged as a bug for Ubuntu developers | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | RandNum: then report a bug | 17:49 |
| pogarda | Hi again I need some jack/midi/audio related questions. Anybody care to answer? | 17:49 |
| pogarda | answers* | 17:49 |
| VirtualBlackness | !ask | pogarda | 17:49 |
| ubottu | pogarda: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:49 |
| bekks | pogarda: Not without knowing the question. | 17:49 |
| RandNum | fact grub-common is not the same as grub-pc haha. :) so glad boot-repair is fixing my problem | 17:50 |
| pogarda | bekks, i have Yamaha DGX-620 wich i used to use as midi controler. In mint it was seen by defoult and had no problem in using it. Now in Ubuntu studio i cant see it at all. How can i set it? Bear in mid im complete noob :D | 17:51 |
| RandNum | interesting, if you're ever not sure which drive to install grub to you can just install it to all of them. | 17:52 |
| Mech0z | how do I see filesystems that are not mounted? (I am booted from an USB and want to mount my filesystem I already have) | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Mech0z: use in what way? | 17:52 |
| bekks | Mech0z: sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid; | 17:53 |
| hu | what do i do if a printer (that has worked with ubuntu installations in the past) simply doesn't respond to print commands from linux? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Mech0z: to just mount them they should shown in nautilus | 17:53 |
| hu | how do i debug this thing? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: what printer? | 17:54 |
| hu | ActionParsnip: hp laserjet 1020 | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: how does it connect to the system? | 17:54 |
| hu | ActionParsnip: usb | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 17:54 |
| Comadrin | irc://freenode/ActionParsnip,isnick i just figured out what i needed to change and you were instrumental to it | 17:54 |
| hu | ActionParsnip: katya | 17:55 |
| Mech0z | ActionParsnip where should they be at? | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Comadrin: as long as you get the gold it's fine :) | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: mint isn't supported here | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !mint | hu | 17:55 |
| ubottu | hu: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 17:55 |
| Comadrin | ActionParsnip: i went into: vi /etc/network/interfaces and added the following line: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 | 17:55 |
| Comadrin | and it worked like a charm | 17:55 |
| hu | i figured there would be no relevant differences? | 17:55 |
| Comadrin | again thank you very much sir | 17:56 |
| Comadrin | or madam ;-) | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Comadrin: hehe nice :). Sometimes after updates it fixes things | 17:56 |
| bekks | hu: There are plenty of differences, e.g. Mint-specific packages. | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: there are, which is why they have their own support channels which are seperate to ubuntu's | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: none of the ubuntu based distros are supported here | 17:56 |
| u19809 | hi all, I have 3.2.0-26 kernel installed (after upgrade of 12.04) and now the nouveau driver seems to want to load all the time but I would like the NVIDIA driver. How can I disable that nouveau driver ? I tried with blacklist but that does not seem to have any effect | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | u19809: do you have the proprietary driver installed? | 17:59 |
| u19809 | yes when installing it tells me the driver is loaded (and it is at boot) | 17:59 |
| Mech0z | ActionParsnip when I sit in the nautilus I cant see my 2 ext4 partitions, ishould I search a special place? | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Mech0z: they should just show. Do they show in: sudo fdisk -l | 18:00 |
| Lazure | is something wrong with the ubuntu updater today? it keeps giving me an error 'failed to download package files, check your internet connection.' and it cancels the entire update every time. | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, i thought the dns nameservers were supposed to be listed in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 18:00 |
| Lazure | my internet connection is fine, obviously as everything else is working flawlessly. | 18:00 |
| bekks | Mech0z: sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid; | 18:01 |
| Mech0z | ActionParsnip the disks do | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Mech0z: do the partitions show too? | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: if it works :) | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | in the interfaces file as well , ActionParsnip ? | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | would be simpler alright | 18:02 |
| hu | does canonical have any official stance towards projects like mint? | 18:03 |
| IdleOne | !ot | hu | 18:04 |
| ubottu | hu: #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! | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hu: its not supported here, mint has it's own support. You aren't using ubuntu so your distro is offtopic here | 18:05 |
| ovidiu | hello | 18:05 |
| root_ | hello | 18:05 |
| pogarda | I have Yamaha DGX-620 witch i used to use as midi controller. In mint it was seen by default and had no problem in using it. Now in Ubuntu studio i cant see it at all. How can i set it? Bear in mid I'm complete noob :D | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !rootirc | root_ | 18:06 |
| ubottu | root_: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 18:06 |
| D[4]ni | is there any good tutorial on how to integrate my own app into the unity global menu? | 18:06 |
| D[4]ni | c++/gtk | 18:06 |
| IdleOne | D[4]ni: might ask in #ubuntu-app-devel | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: if you make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications it will appear in the dash, if that's what you mean? | 18:07 |
| IdleOne | oh, I didn't catch that :/ | 18:07 |
| D[4]ni | ActionParsnip: no, global menu, the menu you get in the top panel | 18:07 |
| VirtualBlackness | pogarda: Looking around does not yeild particularly positive results for that specific kb with ubuntu studio. I see one person who says that they "can" use the two together, and implies he does... but it does not specifically say that he does. | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: ahhhh I se | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | D[4]ni: the channel IdleOne mentioned sounds ideal then ;) | 18:08 |
| VirtualBlackness | !info rosegarden | you might check this out. It may or may not be a useless venture pogarda | 18:09 |
| ubottu | you might check this out. It may or may not be a useless venture pogarda: rosegarden (source: rosegarden): music editor and MIDI/audio sequencer. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:11.11.42-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 8123 kB, installed size 13078 kB | 18:09 |
| dak0 | Hey can I have Unity, Gnome and kde interface to choose on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 18:10 |
| === zz_seejy is now known as zz_zz_seejy | ||
| dak0 | Like we can choose from Gnome and Unity before we log in | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: sure, just install them all and choose at login | 18:10 |
| dak0 | ActionParsnip thank you man | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: unity is a shell for gnome, so you already have gnome | 18:11 |
| pogarda | VirtualBlackness, ubottu, probem i have it that all midi/audio software i used to use under mint was able to see the KB while under UbuntuStudio none of them does. I'm sure it can be set up tho im 2 stupid/unexperienced to do it myself | 18:11 |
| dak0 | Yes I have gnome and unity just wanted to know can I add kde to that list :) | 18:11 |
| afd | trying to restore all databases from a single .sql file using mysqldump but it says | 18:11 |
| dak0 | Wow Ubuntu is really amazing. | 18:11 |
| afd | mysql: unknown option '--all-databases' | 18:11 |
| u19809 | when running initramfs I get error : Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-26/modules.dep: No such file or directory | 18:11 |
| afd | Any ideas? | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: sure, on the login screen you will see an ubuntu logo near your name, click it and choose the desktop you want | 18:12 |
| Ariii | Wait... sorry for all the questions about this, but Ubuntu should run better than Mac OS X 10.5, right? | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: fairly standard across all Linuxes :) | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ariii: depends on config | 18:12 |
| Ariii | ActionParsnip: Of OS X or | 18:12 |
| dak0 | ActionParsnip: What's the lightest kde interface ? | 18:12 |
| Ariii | Ubuntu? | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ariii: both | 18:12 |
| LaOdeAliFarisi | taeb | 18:12 |
| LaOdeAliFarisi | tabe | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: kde is kde | 18:13 |
| Ariii | Oh.... then how about the default configuration of each? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: you can turn of the kwin effects and get a snappier UI | 18:13 |
| VirtualBlackness | pogarda: /join #ubuntustudio you are much more likely to get a good answer there... though I do not know how quickly | 18:13 |
| dak0 | ActionParsnip: Hmm I have heard about xkde or something like that, they say like that's lighter | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ariii: i've not used mac that extensively so couldn't say. I'd imagine so. If you use Lubuntu then it will definitely be faster | 18:13 |
| Chad___ | dak0: XFCE | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dak0: if you can install it, you can use it ;) | 18:14 |
| dak0 | ActionParsnip, Chad__ thanks | 18:14 |
| dak0 | Let's say I install XFCE ubuntu will continue update and all those things normaly? | 18:15 |

| afd | any ideas? | 18:16 |
| akhileekhs | when i open a terminal or application it open out of window so i cant not minize or miaximize or even move | 18:16 |
| Lazure | i guess no one can answer me or i'm just plain invisible | 18:16 |
| iceroot | Lazure: or your question does not have usefull details | 18:17 |

| pikaciu | akhileekhs: have you touched compiz configuration ? | 18:18 |
| afd | someone please. I'm in a real pickle | 18:18 |

| akhileekhs | i dont have compiz | 18:18 |
| afd | my server got hacked. I've got all the DBs backed up in 1 file | 18:18 |
| afd | and it's too big to do through phpmyadmin | 18:18 |
| afd | I'm trying to mysqldump it after scp'ing the .sql file | 18:18 |
| akhileekhs | @afd what kernal your server had? | 18:18 |
| afd | and am getting this mysql: unknown option '--all-databases' | 18:18 |
| afd | I'm running stock ubuntu 12.04 32bit | 18:19 |
| bekks | afd: when mysqldump tells you "--all-databases" is an unknown option, then you can believe in that. | 18:19 |
| Lazure | just wondering why ubuntu is failing to download packages with a 'check your internet connection' in the auto-update. my internet connection is clearly fine. | 18:19 |
| akhileekhs | chek your server i am preety sure hacker uploaded a webshell and also backdoor for furthre accesss | 18:19 |
| akhileekhs | your website name? | 18:19 |
| afd | bekks: all the walkthroughs on how to import the file use that term | 18:19 |
| afd | akhileekhs: the server is a new one since the hack | 18:19 |
| afd | had to nuke the old one | 18:20 |
| VirtualBlackness | Lazure: This is generally due to sources.list or more likely PPAs installed on the system. | 18:20 |
| bekks | afd: Which doesnt mean your installed mysqldump version supports that argument. | 18:20 |
| akhileekhs | website is hosted on it? | 18:20 |

| afd | bekks: any idea how to upgrade mysqldump? | 18:22 |
| rihen | hey guys | 18:22 |
| squid | afd: try sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:22 |
| rihen | i hav a python question | 18:23 |
| afd | squid: yeah, didn't work | 18:23 |
| bekks | afd: "didnt work" means what exactly? | 18:23 |
| VirtualBlackness | afd, what version of ubuntu are you on? | 18:23 |
| IdleOne | rihen: #python | 18:23 |
| squid | rihen: go for it | 18:23 |
| afd | bekks: I ran sudo apt-get upgrade mysqldump and it said there was no upgrade available | 18:24 |
| afd | VirtualBlackness: I'm running stock 12.04 headless 32bit | 18:24 |

| sp3ck | hi guys. Anyone knows which is the best caldav, carddav soft which intergrates with thunerbird lightning and iPhone ? | 18:24 |
| bekks | afd: There is no package named "mysqldump" so that command cant be working at all. | 18:25 |
| VirtualBlackness | firstly afd, mysqldump is not a package. | 18:25 |
| euro | Hi, should it be any difference to mount nfs in /etc/fstab and mount using the mount.nfs command? | 18:25 |
| squid | afd: isn't mysqldump part of mysql admin tools? | 18:25 |
| afd | squid: I just tried running the mysqldump without the -u and -p defined and it said it did it "Dump Completed" but it doesn't create the DBs | 18:25 |
| bekks | afd: You are doing something wrong, since the stock mysqldump in 12.04 supports --all-databases. | 18:25 |
| Lazure | apprently i had to hit 'check' button again, it had an outdated list of updates, probably cuz i hadn't used the system in awhile. | 18:25 |
| euro | using fstab makes boot time very, very LONG | 18:26 |
| bekks | afd: So whats the complete command you are issueing and whats the complete output? Use a pastebin to provide it please. | 18:26 |
| afd | VirtualBlackness: Can I ask straight up instead then - please tell me what I can do. I have the .sql on the server and it holds all the info it just needs to be run. I have mysql installed | 18:26 |
| bekks | afd: I just told you what to do. | 18:26 |
| VirtualBlackness | However that argument should be supported if you are on 1204, please... yes follow bekks request. | 18:26 |
| squid | afd: can you share with us how you trying the mysqldump? | 18:27 |
| squid | afd: should be like this "mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql" | 18:27 |
| afd | mysqldump -u root -p thepassword --all-databases < /home/afd/localhost.sql | 18:27 |

| streulma | Is it recommended to do it on Ubuntu ? | 18:28 |
| VirtualBlackness | oh you are trying to restore afd... sorry | 18:28 |

| RandNum | I got my dual boot Windows 7/Ubuntu 12.04 computer to work with non EFI enabled hardware after many problems. I'm now an expert on installation so ask me any question. | 18:29 |
| bekks | afd: So it has to be something like mysqldump -A -uroot -p.... | 18:29 |
| squid | afd: try it | 18:29 |
| afd | bekks: so I ran, mysqldump -A -uroot -pthepassword --all-databases < /home/afd/localhost.sql | 18:29 |
| bekks | WRONG. | 18:30 |
| afd | bekks: "So it has to be something like mysqldump -A -uroot -p...." | 18:30 |
| bekks | -A is the same as --all-databases. So use -A as the FIRST argument and OMIT the "--all-databases". | 18:30 |
| squid | afd: the -A replaces the --alldatabases I believe | 18:30 |
| afd | bekks: ok | 18:30 |
| afd | I get you | 18:30 |
| afd | and it didn't work | 18:30 |
| afd | I get the "OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]" message | 18:31 |

| afd | thanks for the help guys | 18:33 |
| bekks | afd: What about the information I requested two times already? | 18:33 |
| VirtualBlackness | bekks: afd may need to create the databases before their data can be restored... but this is a faint memory. I do hate databases so... | 18:33 |
| akhileekhs | plzz help mee | 18:33 |
| bekks | VirtualBlackness: Thats not true ;) since --all-databases exports the create DDL too. | 18:33 |

| kbroulik | hi there. I have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 (wireless keyboard+mouse with one single tranceiver). when I boot up the system, however, neither mouse, nor keyboard work. I have to unplug the tranceiver and plug it back in, then it works fine. but that cannot be the final solution | 18:39 |

| giulia27 | hello. When I formatted my portable hard disk, I forgot to make it bootable. How to repair my mistake ? I am on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Thank you | 18:42 |
| akhileeks | afd scan your server..i am sure hacker install php shell | 18:42 |
| akhileeks | afd scan server | 18:43 |
| bekks | akhileeks: That wont help him restore his database. | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | giulia27, by bootable do you mean it's not mounted ? | 18:43 |
| afd | akhileeks: I understand your concerns that why this is a fully fresh install with only mysql and phpmyadmin installed so far | 18:43 |
| akhileeks | i am penetration tester i know better what hacker could do | 18:43 |
| bekks | akhileeks: He already set up a new server... | 18:44 |
| akhileeks | afd what website u have? | 18:44 |
| giulia27 | BluesKaj, itmeans that when I plug inside the USB drie, it does not do anything | 18:44 |
| akhileeks | it fine,he have website? | 18:44 |
| afd | akhileeks: unless one of those have been compromised I'm certain only I have access to this server (unless I've got a fucking keylogger on something on my laptop) | 18:44 |
| akhileeks | hosted in his server | 18:44 |
| squid | afd: mysqldump -u root -p -A < /tmp/all-database.sql | 18:44 |
| akhileeks | there not much keylogger for linux | 18:44 |
| squid | afd: try leaving space between -p and -u | 18:44 |
| akhileeks | he install php shell which give access to server | 18:45 |
| squid | afd: your error seems like a syntax issue | 18:45 |
| akhileeks | if you have website hosted,then i am sure hacker will gain access again | 18:45 |
| akhileeks | beause vulnablirty maybe exits in your website | 18:45 |
| BluesKaj | giulia27, is the drive listed in nautilus ? | 18:46 |
| sasser | BluesKaj , maybe she`s wiped out the whole disk .... | 18:46 |
| giulia27 | BluesKaj, no, and this is the problem | 18:46 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: How did you "format" the drive? | 18:46 |
| giulia27 | by gparted | 18:47 |
| sasser | making a bootable disk is to write on zero sector the image starting sequence for the OS . | 18:47 |
| giulia27 | ok | 18:47 |
| giulia27 | but it is more like a usb key who does not want to launch | 18:47 |
| squid | afd: it works for me | 18:48 |
| streulma | giulia27: which os is on the usb disk ? | 18:48 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: So you created a partition on this disk, I presume. What filesystem does this partition contain? | 18:48 |
| afd | squid: thanks for helping... it looked like it ran and even said "Dump Completed" at the end | 18:49 |
| afd | but no joy :( | 18:49 |
| sasser | if the disk is recognized by windows and not by ubuntu, maybe the gparted marked it as an other type of disk | 18:49 |
| squid | afd: Awesome!!!! | 18:49 |
| afd | phpmyadmin still shows only the default DBs | 18:49 |
| streulma | giulia27: try to mount the disk and chroot to it | 18:49 |
| giulia27 | Jordan_U: fat32 | 18:49 |
| juboba | hey | 18:49 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: And just so you are aware, this has nothing to do with being "bootable". | 18:49 |
| bekks | afd: Log out, log back in into phpmyadmin. | 18:49 |
| squid | afd: I had to install mysql and try it myself | 18:49 |

| mfladischer | afd, because mysqldump only dumps data (as the name implies) | 19:01 |

| giulia27 | pikaciu: I only forgot to make it bootable | 19:04 |
| mfladischer | squid, yes, it dumps the data from the server to a file. and this file can then be used to restore the data. so if afd already has this dump-file he should use the mysql command to restore it. | 19:04 |
| giulia27 | Jordan_U: normally yes, I checked it | 19:04 |
| afd | squid: something worked at some point because after navigating round phpmyadmin for a bit the tables appeared | 19:05 |
| pikaciu | giulia27: an external hard drive doesn't need to be bootable | 19:05 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: A drive mounting automatically when plugged in has *nothing* to do with it being "bootable". | 19:05 |

| sasser | giulia27 well, in this case, you should clean it again (format) and try to make it bootable again, because it might been have written not 100% so Ubuntu does not recgnize it as a bootable disk | 19:08 |
| === Guest53974 is now known as sa`tan | ||
| giulia27 | sasser: do I do it with Gparted ? | 19:09 |
| sasser | giulia27, no. Not with gparted | 19:09 |
| giulia27 | sasser: so how ? | 19:10 |
| sasser | try with Linux USB Creator | 19:10 |
| sasser | giulia27 --> http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 19:11 |
| sasser | not all the bootable software makers are so good; if you don`t have choises, you may look for some alternatives :) | 19:12 |
| giulia27 | sasser: it does not work on Linux :( | 19:14 |

| Linuxuser_ | hm anyway dr_willis do you want to see it? | 19:19 |
| dr_willis | i can try. but im at work | 19:19 |
| Jordan_U | Rusher: How did you delete the files? How big were the files? Are you sure that 1: The files weren't simply one of multiple hard links to the same data and 2: The files are not currently open in any application? | 19:19 |
| Linuxuser_ | oh ok one sec | 19:19 |
| Trix__ | hm, can anyone help me with my mouse? | 19:19 |

| dr_willis | and whats the mouse issue Trix__ ? ive not seen you state it to the channel.. | 19:20 |
| dr_willis | !text | wvdial | 19:20 |
| ubottu | wvdial: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 19:20 |
| Trix__ | i did above, one sec | 19:20 |
| wvdial | i change quiet splash to text it booting in text but login screen appear in gui | 19:20 |

| Trix__ | dr_willis ^ | 19:21 |
| sasser | giulia27, does this page can help you? (http://www.ve3syb.ca/software/bootableusb.html) | 19:21 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 19:23 |
| Linuxuser_ | latest. 12.04 | 19:23 |
| wvdial | i want login screen in console mode..i am using gdm | 19:23 |

| hed64 | I have a cifs mount (mounted from fstab) in /media/music. root has all the permissions of my cifs user but other users on the box can't create directories! I've tried changing the umask in fstab but no effect. 12.04 | 19:23 |
| Jordan_U | sasser: I highly suspect that giulia27 does *not* want to make a bootable drive, but rather mistakenly thinks that a drive being "bootable" has something to do with it mounting automatically via nautilus when they plug it in. | 19:23 |
| MacGuges | It seems I've got a real pickle here. Running any apt-get command fails because of this one unmet dependency, "netbase : Breaks: ifupdown (< 0.7)", so I've tried to remove ifupdown. But dpkg refuses to do that, "ubuntu-minimal depends on ifupdown". | 19:23 |
| Linuxuser_ | because i may have edited it. not exactly sure. how would i change that? | 19:23 |
| Jordan_U | sasser: Right now their drive is not showing up in the output of "sudo parted -l" at all. | 19:24 |
| Jordan_U | !pm | Rusher | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Rusher: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 19:24 |
| Linuxuser_ | even if i do edit that to the right thing or get it to change to the correct version dr_willis it will still probably not how my boot menu | 19:24 |
| sasser | Jordan_U maybe you are right .... it`s not the same thing <mounting> a drive and making it <bootable> ... | 19:24 |
| L3top | MacGuges: these things are almost always due to conflicting packages in a PPA. Please ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d. If there are things there, move them to another directory if you wish to keep them, sudo apt-get update, and then try again. | 19:25 |
| Linuxuser_ | L3top!!! | 19:25 |
| Rusher | hi, my disk was full, 100%, I've deleted some files and I did - "sync" and now if I try "df" still 100% | 19:25 |
| Jordan_U | Rusher: I asked you 4 questions. You gave one answer and I can't even tell which of my questions it's supposed to answer. | 19:25 |
| Linuxuser_ | L3top do you think you could help me get my boot menu to show on start up? | 19:26 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: i also have to wonder how you have a menu.lst AND a grub.cfg - what have you been doping to this system? whats the origianl problem/ | 19:26 |
| MacGuges | L3top: ah, ty! there's dropbox under sources.list.d, I'll move that out. | 19:26 |
| L3top | I expect so Linuxuser_. As dr_willis is at work just hit me in #linuxmce | 19:27 |
| kbroulik | was tehre a recent update for NetworkManager that broke everything? I cannot create a new connection on any of my computers (all running 12.04). it always says "cannot add connection: type" | 19:27 |
| Linuxuser_ | well the problem was that it kept booting ubuntu automatically without showing the boot menu and i'm trying to boot my windows vista | 19:27 |
| Linuxuser_ | and also i am aware that i have a menu.lst and i have edited that so i'm not sure if i should clear it like it was before or what dr_willis | 19:27 |
| L3top | Linuxuser_: you should not have a menu.lst in 1204 | 19:28 |
| Linuxuser_ | ok so shall i delete it? | 19:28 |
| L3top | Linuxuser_: you should be on grub2 | 19:28 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: i have to wonder what all you have done in random attempts to fix this.. and if a clean reinstall would not be the best bet. | 19:28 |
| Linuxuser_ | oh i tried to upgrade to grub2 and i don't think it worked what would be the command? | 19:28 |
| Rusher | Jordan_U: I'm sorry, it's done, I had to restart apache | 19:28 |
| dr_willis | grub2 is the default.. theres should have been no need to upgrade it | 19:28 |
| Linuxuser_ | i can't reinstall because i can't get on windows | 19:28 |
| Linuxuser_ | how would i reinstall? | 19:29 |
| L3top | sudo apt-get install grub2 I dont know why you wouldnt have it though | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: backup inporntant stuff... boot ubuntu cd.. reinstall | 19:29 |
| Linuxuser_ | oh. i should have it. and i'm pretty sure it didn't work when i updated it | 19:29 |
| L3top | Linuxuser_: was this a do-release upgrade? | 19:29 |
| * L3top is a bit baffled. | 19:29 | |
| Linuxuser_ | ? there is not reinstall button. it's either install ubuntu or try without installing | 19:29 |
| Linuxuser_ | what's that? | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | and... installing it again.. is reinstsalling it.. | 19:30 |
| Linuxuser_ | it won't duplicate dr_willis? | 19:30 |
| L3top | Linuxuser_: if this was a fresh install... it should never have been an issue. | 19:30 |
| giulia27 | JordanU, I just want my USB disk to be seen in Nautilus and work | 19:30 |
| giulia27 | and that's all I want | 19:30 |
| Jordan_U | Linuxuser_: According to your boot info script output it looks like if you booted now you would get a grub menu which inluded options for both Ubuntu and Windows. That seems like what you want. | 19:30 |
| dr_willis | not if you use the exact same partitions and let it format them | 19:30 |
| Rusher | Folks! do you know Linux Deeping? | 19:30 |

| giulia27 | I went to eat something before getting back here | 19:30 |
| hilo | hello can anyone provide some advice for the options of mkfs.ext4? I am about to format a 12 TB RAID6 array and am wondering if there are any options I need to set special. The RAID has 6 drives of data and 2 drivers of parity, 256k stripe size. | 19:31 |
| dr_willis | Rusher: never heeard of it. | 19:31 |
| Linuxuser_ | well what i did was i didn't choose partitions and i made it install in the same drive as my windows vista dr_willis | 19:31 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: OK, then forget about the word "bootable" entirely. Being "bootable" has *nothing* to do with this, and you have already confused myself and sasser by using the word. Do you understand? | 19:31 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: if it made partions. you tell it the same partion for / as you are using now and same swap | 19:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Rusher this is the support channel for Ubuntu | 19:31 |
| L3top | Linuxuser_: can I please get a pastebin of sudo fdisk -l | 19:32 |
| giulia27 | Jordan_U: yes. So which word must I use instead then ? | 19:32 |
| Linuxuser_ | well i dont have a partition. i made it run alongside windows which meant it wouldn't make partitions | 19:32 |
| Linuxuser_ | ok | 19:32 |
| giulia27 | English is unfortunately not my mother tongue | 19:32 |
| Rusher | MonkeyDust: well, I just wanted to know that someone of you use that | 19:32 |
| dr_willis | Linuxuser_: you do have a partition - sda5 is your linux / partition | 19:33 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: I'm not sure that one word alone describes it. I would say that "I just want my USB disk to be seen in Nautilus and work" is a good description though. | 19:33 |
| Guest75850 | hello everyone.. may i know, according to u, which is the best IDE for Android development on Ubuntu(12.04) ? | 19:33 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:33 |
| Jordan_U | giulia27: You're welcome. | 19:34 |
| dr_willis | Guest75850: perhaps go ask in #android | 19:34 |
| Guest75850 | Thanks Dr_willis | 19:34 |
| giulia27 | and so, how can I make my usb key work and show on Nautilus ? | 19:34 |

| MacGuges | L3top: will do | 19:36 |
| Jordan_U | hilo: I can't think of anything that you would want to change about mkfs parameters because of the fact that it's on top of RAID with a given stripe size. Are you partitioning the RAID array? Will you likely have a lot of small files on this filesystem or fewer, larger, files? | 19:36 |

| Linuxuser_ | yes it has linux image initrd image memtesest img and windows vista | 19:40 |
| Jordan_U | Linuxuser_: Are you sure of that, because I don't see how that's possible. Do you maybe see an "input out of range" error from your monitor at some point during boot? | 19:40 |
| dr_willis | giulia27: tried mounting the usb by hand yet? could be its filesystem is currupted. | 19:40 |
| giulia27 | dr_willis: yes, my multifunction is an epson stylus | 19:40 |

| giulia27 | dr_willis: how do I do it ? | 19:40 |
| dr_willis | !mount | giulia27 | 19:40 |
| ubottu | giulia27: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 19:40 |
| giulia27 | dr_willis: it means that it's a printer, photocopier and scanner | 19:41 |
| dr_willis | giulia27: so you are trying to access the flash-port oN the printer? | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | Linuxuser_: That explains everything then. GRUB is "displaying" a menu, it's just that it's doing so at a resolution which your monitor can't handle, and thus you can't see it. | 19:41 |

| dr_willis | bbpgrs: restate the issue. ;) | 20:31 |
| auronandace | pabvid: whats the question? | 20:32 |
| bbpgrs | ok dr_willis i can't hear sound from any sond device and i already tried reinstalling pulseaudio and unmuting everything in alsamixer | 20:32 |

| kristenbb | I think my filesystem is broken, I can't play sound on anything but rhythmbox after a ubuntu crash. How can I repair it, if /home is encrypted ? | 20:32 |
| pabvid | I want to black out the part of the screen that is not the actual window | 20:32 |
| h33lt0e | i had a question, I decided to switch to Ubuntu today to dual boot with windows. I got a MBR virus in windows, so I ran a dd command to wipe the first 512 bytes of my drive, this should remove all the virus from my MBR right? And it shouldn't infect my Ubuntu? | 20:32 |
| dr_willis | bbpgrs: laptop? desktop? hdmi? | 20:32 |
| bbpgrs | laptop | 20:33 |
| pabvid | i've been searching in google and haven't found anything at all | 20:33 |
| bbpgrs | and i'm trying to use built-in speakers | 20:33 |
| klj613 | im stuck, fglrx doesn't work for dual monitors (cant get it to work no matter what -.-), however i got fan control (aticonfig)... open source drivers i can get dual monitor to work, however no fan control? :( lol | 20:33 |
| dr_willis | h33lt0e: windows virus wont infevt ubuntu | 20:33 |
| kristenbb | Would it be ok to touch /forcefsck and reboot ? | 20:34 |
| h33lt0e | thanks dr willis! the virus should be gone though if I ever decide to reinstall windows in a dual boot? | 20:34 |
| dr_willis | pabvid: rephrase that.. what you mean. | 20:34 |
| bekks | kristenbb: /forcefsck isnt in your home. | 20:34 |
| Chaos- | So like, anyone have a link for a how-to make ubuntu IP resolve into a host? | 20:34 |
| dr_willis | h33lt0e: in suprised you had a mbr vurus | 20:34 |
| bbpgrs | dr_willis: im using a laptop | 20:34 |
| kristenbb | bekks: I just want to check the whole filesystem / is in. It's /dev/sda3. How can I do that ? | 20:35 |
| bekks | kristenbb: Then, sudo touch /forcefsck would be correct. | 20:35 |
| giulia27 | hello. Ok, finally, I found part of the solution to mke my usb drive work in Nautilus. I needed to restart the system. But the problem is that I cannot paste any folder or file into it. When I have a look at properties, it shows me that all reading, modifying... can be done in root. How to modify it ? Thank you | 20:35 |
| h33lt0e | I'm not sure if it was an MBR virus, I think it was. It came from some java website and I lost all admin rights to do anything, and I couldnt remove anything. I ran a couple of MBR antivirus things and it found a couple of things, which is when i decided to switch to ubuntu for good | 20:35 |
| bekks | h33lt0e: Your MBR isnt even big enough to contain "a couple of things". | 20:36 |
| dr_willis | bbpgrs: id check the forums and askubuntu.com for the chipset and make of laptop for others with the same issues | 20:36 |
| h33lt0e | so si just formatted the system, install ubuntu, wiped the MBR (using dd to erase the first 512 bytes), reinstalled grub | 20:36 |
| dr_willis | bbl. | 20:37 |
| bbpgrs | dr_willis: no one seems to have the same problem | 20:37 |
| h33lt0e | yea, i would think as much too only 512 bytes! | 20:37 |
| bbpgrs | dr_willis: i just spent an hour googling this | 20:37 |

| kristenbb | L3top: for me it does | 20:51 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: nope nothing at all | 20:51 |
| L3top | ok bbpgrs I am gonna need a minute to figure out your deal. | 20:51 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: no problem | 20:52 |
| L3top | kristenbb: please open alsamixer in terminal | 20:52 |
| kristenbb | L3top: done | 20:52 |
| L3top | what does it state your default sound device is? | 20:52 |
| auronandace | bbpgrs: do you have a hardware switch to mute sound? | 20:52 |
| kristenbb | L3top: what do you mean? | 20:52 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: You may have to blacklist the ati card. Are you running the fglrx driver by chance? | 20:53 |
| bbpgrs | auronandace: yes but its on "unmute" | 20:53 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: i dont know what fglrx is | 20:53 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: sorry | 20:53 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: you might hit that a couple of times as well... as to fglrx... lsmod | grep fglrx | 20:53 |
| kristenbb | L3top: do you mean you want me to tell you what's in front of 'card' ? | 20:54 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: this is the proprietary (restricted) ati driver. | 20:54 |
| L3top | yes please kristenbb | 20:54 |
| kristenbb | L3top: it's "HDA Intel PCH" | 20:54 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: when i run "lsmod | grep fglrx" it gives me this: fglrx 2909855 149 | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | wow that chaos guy seems to need attention | 20:55 |
| L3top | kristenbb: if you have an /etc/asound.conf file, please pastebin it. I deal with this stuff on a much more rudimentary level... I dont fool with pulse audio at all... and your actual solution probably lies there. | 20:55 |
| kristenbb | L3top: then again i'd like to restate that the sound still is working with rhythmbox, but not with anything else, apparently after a power failure. | 20:55 |
| kristenbb | L3top: I don't have such a file | 20:56 |
| pabvid | dr_willis | 20:56 |

| bbpgrs | that sounded sarcastic MonkeyDust | 20:58 |

| MonkeyDust | bbpgrs type /join #defocus and see | 20:58 |

| bbpgrs | ok so? i dont know what that means is it bad? | 20:59 |
| grasshopper87 | thanks a lot! | 20:59 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: it is my belief that the ATI sound module is hijacking your audio settings. Again I will need time to try and figure out how to deal with that, but my initial instinct is to blacklist the ATI driver in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with something like option snd-hda-ati and probably some following. | 20:59 |
| === Guest10408 is now known as heme | ||
| bbpgrs | L3top: i know i sound sstupid right now but how do you blacklist the ati? | 21:00 |
| heme | When installing bind9, do I need to update the dns entry under /etc/network/interfaces? | 21:00 |
| L3top | kristenbb: this is really going to need a pulse solution I believe... and I have 0 knowledge of it. | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | yeah L3top , index=-2 | 21:01 |
| cookie | Hey guys...is there a way to have ubuntu rotate wallpapers? | 21:01 |
| kristenbb | L3top: why would my sound problem affect all programs except for rhythmbox? | 21:01 |
| L3top | kristenbb: I could not answer that accurately without knowing what was going on during the power outage... and more information. | 21:01 |
| kristenbb | L3top: feel free to ask for anything, though I may not have an answer for all of it | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | hmm wonder if rhythmbox uses pulseaudio | 21:02 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: if you want i can wait till youre done with kristenbb if that's better for you | 21:02 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: so... in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add the line options snd-hda-ati index=-2 | 21:02 |
| L3top | great question BluesKaj | 21:03 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: i did but i cant click "save" its grayed out | 21:03 |
| sent | cookie : there's a space wallpaper in 10.04 that rotates, so there IS a way. | 21:03 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: You will need to edit it with root privelege... if you are using gedit then gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base for instance. | 21:04 |
| MonkeyDust | cookie you need to create an xml file, moment | 21:04 |

| bbpgrs | L3top: ok i added the line, sved, then quit gedit | 21:05 |
| auronandace | ui: sudo firefox? first it should be gksudo (graphical app) and second, you should never run a browser as root | 21:05 |
| kristenbb | L3top: well I'll do anything you think might help me to solve this issue | 21:05 |
| R3pLiCa | guyz wats th best tool to edit th gui features in ubuntu??? and making new custom themes .... | 21:05 |
| ui | It's a test in a virtual machine so it's safe | 21:06 |
| HDScorpio | Also, I'm planning on putting ubuntu on top of XP as a dual boot but can't with ubuntu first | 21:06 |
| MonkeyDust | R3pLiCa wrong channel, but try 'quickly', you find it in the software center | 21:06 |
| L3top | kristenbb: if I were you, knowng 0 about pulse... I would take the hacky approach of sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio | 21:06 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: you can try to sudo alsa reload but honestly reboot works much better. | 21:07 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: so you suggest that i reboot? | 21:07 |
| === zz_zz_zz_seejy is now known as zz_zz_zz_zz_seej | ||
| HDScorpio | Is there a way to set up a dual boot with Ubuntu installed first? | 21:08 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: I do. If this does not work for you, I would also comment out that line you just added and reboot again... alsa is a very tempermental beast, and I would not want it to prevent you from a future solution. | 21:08 |
| BluesKaj | alsa reload fails a lot , but don't ask me why , bbpgrs | 21:08 |
| auronandace | HDScorpio: yes, but you'd need to reinstall grub | 21:08 |
| MonkeyDust | HDScorpio you would have to repair GRUB, but technically, it's possible | 21:08 |

| HDScorpio | Is there a way I can format my hard drive? For XP first? | 21:09 |
| ui | HDScorpio: Windows XP won't be supported after April 8, 2014 | 21:09 |
| HDScorpio | That seems the best way to go about it | 21:09 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: oh I think you should know that i also can't see the sound (speaker) icon on the top bar (the one with the name of the window and "file" and "edit") | 21:09 |
| R3pLiCa | ty MonkeyDust i am new to linux and i love it coz linux is way bbtr !!!! | 21:09 |

| mbrigdan | Hello, I've got a weird bug were ubuntu seems to drop my input if I hit the 'p' key twice in quick succession. Is this potentially some setting that I need to change? | 21:10 |
| kristenbb | L3top: which is to say, rhythmbox does play sound, but everything else doesn't | 21:10 |
| HDScorpio | R3pLiCa Please keep it related to the channel.. So, any idea on how to format my hard drive? | 21:10 |
| ui | For my problem above: sudo before lsof solved the problem | 21:11 |
| auronandace | HDScorpio: use gparted from a livecd (backup what you need first) | 21:11 |
| HDScorpio | auronandace How would I go about that? Would my pen drive still be fully functional after that? Because the last LiveCD I made was an Ubuntu one and it broke my other pen drive | 21:12 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, google 'gparted live cd' (and there's an iso and usb avail) | 21:12 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, pendrive isn't part of ubuntu's official docs i believe | 21:13 |
| holu | HOW VPN IS SECURE ? | 21:13 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: does that make a difference? that im not seeing the icon | 21:13 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess I think I worded that wrong, I burnt the install iso onto my pen drive | 21:13 |
| Griffrez | Ah. When I install Ubuntu, and do nothing, are the open source drivers well installed? | 21:14 |
| auronandace | HDScorpio: broke it? you can't reformat it then? | 21:15 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 21:16 |
| Griffrez | I went into System Setting - > Details - > Graphics and the system reports my drivers as "unknown". Doesn't that mean that I don't have any driver? | 21:16 |
| HDScorpio | Auronandace It crashes my pc whenever I plug it in (XP) and doesnt show on my laptop(Ubuntu) | 21:16 |
| kristenbb | Can someone help me with my sound issues please ? | 21:16 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, (not part of ubuntu), you need to have a fat32 formatted partition on the usb drive.. | 21:16 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess It worked with ubuntu before I burnt the iso | 21:17 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, you don't burn iso's to usb drives.. | 21:17 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: what graphics card do you have? | 21:17 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess I did... jesus maybe thats my problem. I had a program that came on the drive that let me make the drive act like a mounted CD would | 21:18 |
| Griffrez | ATI Radeon 4770 HD | 21:18 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: i just rebooted and sound is still broken an i still dont see the icon | 21:18 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, you download the iso to C: , not to the <letter of usb>: | 21:18 |
| L3top | kristenbb: rythymbox ignores pulseaudios audiosync. Your issue is with pulse audiosync. | 21:18 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, then you run the usb-maker tool | 21:18 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: Sorry. Didn't link your name. ATI Radeon 4770 HD. | 21:18 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: just getting back... gimme a min | 21:18 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: I downloaded it to C:,the burnt it with the tool | 21:18 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: ok | 21:18 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, what was the letter drive of the usb? | 21:19 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess, I can't now, the pen drive wont pick up, makes my PC crash | 21:19 |
| dagring | what's the thing with Ubunu One folders, when I move av file or folder out of it, the files arn't deleted on other machines with the account | 21:19 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: I believe it was E | 21:19 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: do you want to use the open source drivers or install the closed source ones? | 21:19 |
| kristenbb | L3top: I'm sorry these are unknown words to me. | 21:19 |
| Griffrez | I want to try Open Source | 21:19 |
| kristenbb | L3top: but you seem to know what you're talking about, which is great :) | 21:19 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, so re-format E: (the usb drive partition) .. and use that usb maker instead of unetbootin | 21:19 |
| Griffrez | If they don't fit my expectations, I'll later switch to Closed. | 21:19 |
| kristenbb | L3top: so what am I supposed to do ? | 21:19 |
| L3top | kristenbb: audiosink that is... me too... like I said... I know 0 about pulse. Our project does not use it. I do EVERYTHING through alsa. | 21:20 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: it should automatically be loaded, try: sudo lsmod (pastebin the results please) | 21:20 |
| L3top | kristenbb: I was just looking up why rythembox would be different, and that is why. It ignores audiosink. | 21:20 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, can you boot with the cd? (do you have a cd drive?) | 21:20 |
| kristenbb | L3top: what would your project be ? maybe I could use alsa too ? | 21:20 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: The pen drive is broken, are we talking about the same thing? My old pen drive broke when I burnt Ubuntu install iso to it, I have a new one I could use for the GParted | 21:20 |
| bbpgrs | wait L3top, can i have plse and alsa at the same time? | 21:20 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: http://pastebin.com/njdwk4Kn | 21:20 |
| bekks | bbpgrs: Sure. | 21:20 |
| bekks | Pulse uses Alsa. | 21:21 |
| kristenbb | L3top: can't I make other software behave like rhythmbox? | 21:21 |
| L3top | lol... it is a home automation platform with a media center. I do the media stuff #linuxmce. It is not for everyone. It is a bit of a control freak. | 21:21 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, "burn" means to iso->cd. The Usb MAker tools do not "burn", they "extract" stuff from the .iso and place those files on the usb. | 21:21 |
| L3top | kristenbb: ^ | 21:21 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: yup, it looks like the radeon driver is in use | 21:21 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess, I can, the XP install doesn't find a hard drive. But I haven't yet made a gparted liveCD because of this error: http://i.imgur.com/yLOYs.png | 21:21 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, imgburn is free and very easy to "burn" to a "CD". -- If you have a cd drive. | 21:22 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: But then why do the System Details not detect the driver? | 21:22 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess Well, I mounted the iso to my pen drive and it broke | 21:22 |
| kristenbb | L3top: so bottom line, what can I do about it? | 21:22 |
| HDScorpio | The iso for ubuntu | 21:22 |
| * jagginess thinks HDScorpio is either broked there or somewhere in translation. | 21:22 | |
| L3top | kristenbb: you would have to remove pulse... but... that is not an ubuntu support answer... and I am not recommending it... you need to get someone who understands pulse, or do some googling on audiosink. I am sorry I cannot help you here... I only know what I know. | 21:22 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: so do you have any other suggestions? | 21:23 |
| L3top | getting there bbpgrs. | 21:23 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: ok tyt | 21:23 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: i know my graphics card and i have the right drivers installed but that screen still says unknown on my system | 21:23 |
| kristenbb | L3top: It worked just a few hours ago, maybe I could just install and reinstall something ? | 21:23 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: I'm trying to explain to you that my old pen drive has nothing to do with the current issue of me not being able to run the windows XP install due to it not picking up on my ubuntu installed hard drive | 21:23 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: Hmmm. If you say so. | 21:23 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: i would just ignore it | 21:23 |
| kristenbb | L3top: I already tried it with pulseaudio, maybe I could try it with something else ? | 21:23 |
| L3top | kristenbb: I am sorry I cannot help you further... if the --reinstall of pulse does not help... I am of no use to you. I am very sorry. | 21:24 |
| revol0xf | Griffrez: mesa-utils package is required to show it in System Details | 21:24 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: Okay, then. If that's so, I'm changing to Closed Source. | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | bekks, afaik everything eventually links to alsa in one way or another whether pulseaudio is used or not , but flash needs pulseaudio for web audio content , and doesn't link to alsa directly on some systems | 21:24 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: i'm using closed source and it says unknown | 21:24 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: Pulseaudio will be silent without ALSA. | 21:25 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: kids are going ape atm... I am afraid you will have to wait a bit unless BluesKaj returns from his bbq adventure... yes... we are just "guys" trying to help. | 21:25 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: I get that I have to format my hard disk, but I can't actually create a live CD because the GParted sourceforge won't show correctly http://i.imgur.com/yLOYs.png | 21:25 |
| BluesKaj | bekks, of course , if I could I wouldn't use pulseaudio \ | 21:25 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: ok lol yeah guess i just expected my problem to be something simple | 21:25 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: I ain't saying the otherwise. I just had the expectation that I could have a better version of the Open driver, because I tried to play Minecraft with it, but it ran at ~30 FPS, but with Closed Source, it ran around 120 FPS. | 21:25 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, read. | 21:25 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: I never had problems with the stock installation of pulse. | 21:25 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, what did i say 10 minutes ago? | 21:26 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: sorry for that | 21:26 |

| L3top | bbpgrs: I am, however, convinced it is related to the fglrx driver trying to make audio avail to HDMI. I would bet a little money on it. | 21:27 |
| MonkeyDust | jagginess don't say to 'google it', when people ask for help, please | 21:27 |
| HDScorpio | I'm on that site, it doesnt work. The formatting is messed up | 21:27 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: ok guess i'll have to go with no sound :/ thanks so much for your time though | 21:28 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ << you tried? | 21:28 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: for the sake of argument... please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 21:28 |
| Griffrez | auronandace: Going to activate the Closed driver. If I clash into any issue, I'll come back here and talk about it. :P | 21:28 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: A PCI soundcard has nothing to do with it. And personally, I dont care about that additional layer, since it always worked for me until today. | 21:28 |
| bbpgrs | ok one sec L3top | 21:28 |
| auronandace | Griffrez: hope it works well | 21:28 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess: Not yet, I couldn't get that far as everything I clicked led to http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php/ | 21:28 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: "no audio" is not an acceptable resolution IMO. I will bend over backwards to help rather than you resign yourself to being deaf on the internet | 21:29 |

| robertzaccour | When I turned my computer on about 30 minutes ago it booted up looking all whacky mix color glitchy. It didn't do it after a cold shut down, but I wonder if these random glitches are common in Linux? | 21:29 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, try using firefox.. i see you're using chrome. | 21:29 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: i get this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/1081858/" when i run "lspci -nn | grep VGA" | 21:29 |
| tonsofpcs | robertzaccour: sounds like an issue with the VRAM not clearing | 21:29 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess, the download link works for me now | 21:29 |
| auronandace | robertzaccour: yes they are common | 21:30 |
| robertzaccour | tonsofpcs, could that cause problems later? Is there something I should do? | 21:30 |
| HDScorpio | Jagginess, I have bookmarked the tutorial and download link and will do it tomorrow, thanks for the help and sorry if I confused you | 21:30 |
| auronandace | robertzaccour: its harmless | 21:30 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: for the record, for one line results like that, you can just drop them here. | 21:30 |
| tonsofpcs | robertzaccour: it could. That said, I had a PC with similar issues - linux had abssolutely no problem with it, win98 would fail hard. | 21:30 |
| jagginess | HDScorpio, when you use gparted. Resize your linux partition, and then move it towards the end. Then make a new partition at the "beginning" (ntfs). I stop here. | 21:31 |
| tonsofpcs | replacing video card was the solution for that one | 21:31 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: ok | 21:31 |
| robertzaccour | auronandace, also sometimes inside a window there will be colored lines completely across looks like dead pixels, until I maximize it that clears it sometimes or close it | 21:31 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: so what does that line mean? | 21:31 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: That should work. I would not expect this issue... I will continue to think about it... but I might be gone for 30min or so. Please check back later. I am usually here. | 21:31 |
| robertzaccour | In system info it says graphics unknown | 21:32 |
| simplew | is there any tool with GUI to manage lvm encrypted partitions? | 21:32 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: can i add you to friends list? | 21:32 |
| auronandace | robertzaccour: that sounds like a different issue, i thought you were just talking about plymouth (the splash thingy) | 21:32 |
| bbpgrs | L3top so i know when youre on? | 21:32 |
| L3top | bbpgrs: that is an explanation as to your hardware in a way I understand. | 21:32 |
| robertzaccour | tonsofpcs, graphics unknown. is that bad? | 21:32 |
| L3top | sure bbpgrs. | 21:32 |

| bbpgrs | L3top ok | 21:32 |
| simplew | is there any tool with GUI to manage lvm encrypted partitions?? | 21:33 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: don't worry i don't expect you to be always available | 21:33 |
| bekks | simplew: No reason to ask every minute. And the answer is "no". | 21:33 |
| ui | robertzaccour: as they said you, those glitches are totally harmless | 21:33 |
| bbpgrs | L3top: you have other stuff to do i understand that | 21:33 |
| simplew | bekks: so theres only Mageia with such tool? | 21:33 |
| robertzaccour | ui, oh ok. what about in system info? it says graphics unknown. Is that bad? | 21:33 |
| auronandace | robertzaccour: no, mine says the same and it works | 21:34 |
| bekks | simplew: I never heard of Mageia. Using Ubuntu, the answer is "no". :) | 21:34 |
| auronandace | bekks: mageia = mandriva fork | 21:34 |
| ui | robertzaccour: as long as the contents display correctly on the screen, I guess it's not | 21:35 |
| robertzaccour | auronandace, haha I wonder how the graphics get displayed if the chip is unknown? | 21:35 |
| simplew | bekks: you can check last month on distrowatch.com and you will the second distro from top 5 | 21:35 |
| robertzaccour | oh ok haha | 21:35 |
| simplew | bekks: but thanks for the answer | 21:35 |
| revol0xf | robertzaccour: it should be fine. If you want the UI to display the correct information instead of unknown, try installing mesa-utils package. | 21:35 |
| auronandace | robertzaccour: it is unknown only to whatever that system screen tries to use to detect it, i have the right drivers installed and it all works | 21:35 |
| robertzaccour | revol0xf, how do I install that? | 21:36 |

| padmick1 | hello what is the offical name of a wubi pre-installed onto an iso and is it possibe to un-do the duel boot created by this application on the iso???? plz | 22:22 |
| MonkeyDust | padmick1 wubi is a program inside windows, delete it like you would delete any other windows program | 22:24 |
| padmick1 | no cannot because it was installed on a boot disc nothing to do with windows | 22:25 |
| padmick1 | a ubuntu boot disc | 22:25 |
| padmick1 | does not exist in windows | 22:25 |
| Roasted | if it doesn't exist in windows, how does the dual boot exist? | 22:26 |
| MonkeyDust | padmick1 not clear what you mean, wubi means windows ubuntu installer | 22:26 |
| padmick1 | well i require the name of the application that creates a duel boot of ubuntu and windows from a boot disk | 22:27 |
| padmick1 | and how to remove the duel boot | 22:28 |
| MonkeyDust | padmick1 install ubuntu on a free partition, delete ubuntu by deleting that partition | 22:28 |
| coolroot | hi | 22:29 |
| padmick1 | ubuntu is already removed but the duel boot remains | 22:29 |
| titan | Roasted: You can do it with etherape | 22:29 |
| coolroot | need help | 22:29 |
| titan | does a map but you can view statistics for all hosts it finds | 22:29 |
| MonkeyDust | padmick1 i missed that part in your original question | 22:29 |
| padmick1 | ok sorry i just need a way to remove the software that creates the partition and controls it | 22:30 |
| Roasted | titan, thanks, looking into it now. | 22:31 |
| titan | Roasted: np, once you set the interface and it starts maping open up the nodes to watch all of their current speed, updates often... You can specify types as well, in/out or both, tcp, ip etc etc | 22:32 |

| Griffrez | You need to use sudo apt-get | 22:33 |
| Casey | i'm having troble with this ups softare it doesn't seem to be running the email alert script also i'm runnig lubuntu | 22:33 |
| OerHeks | coolroot, using sudo is normal to do apt-get | 22:33 |
| Griffrez | Is there a way to see my terminal history? | 22:34 |
| Griffrez | Like... commands I've done? | 22:34 |
| Griffrez | Because I am not sure what was the package I used... I want to uninstall KDE. Was just trying. | 22:35 |
| coolroot | no... OerHeks if ur command works find at first and then u notice the next day that it isn't working then there's a trouble...... | 22:35 |
| titan | Griffrez: you use kubuntu-desktop as well, I like doing just the package though so I can switch back and forth | 22:35 |
| Griffrez | Oh. | 22:35 |
| Griffrez | I didn't remember the package's name. xD | 22:35 |
| titan | .bash_history | 22:35 |

| Roasted | titan, how good are you with etherape? | 22:36 |
| Griffrez | So... sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop? | 22:36 |
| titan | Roasted: enough to get around a check it out a few times | 22:36 |
| Roasted | titan, I have the node pulled up for the camera I wanted to look at, but I'm a little confused at the output I'm seeing. | 22:37 |
| titan | Griffrez: or purge if you want to get rid of it all :) | 22:37 |
| Griffrez | What is the different between remove and purge? | 22:37 |
| titan | it should just say like kbps or whatever | 22:37 |
| titan | purge does all files... config an all | 22:37 |
| Griffrez | Weird | 22:37 |
| titan | remove just removes what it installed, not what was configured | 22:37 |
| Griffrez | It only detects one package | 22:37 |
| Griffrez | :( | 22:37 |
| Roasted | titan, I assume I should be looking "instantaneous" for watching the EXACT speed right then and there. | 22:38 |
| Griffrez | That weights around 60 Kb | 22:38 |
| titan | Roasted: It is at that moment and keeps refreshing... it refreshes quite often... | 22:38 |
| Griffrez | titan: Is this normal? | 22:39 |
| titan | so you really only see what is doing right then... like my ip cameras aren't using much... and mostly 0K because they aren't in sentry or motion detection | 22:39 |
| titan | not sure Griffrez, never looked at the size it uninstalled at... | 22:39 |
| Roasted | titan, what confuses me is once I shut off totem (which is streaming the RTSP URL to the camera) my speeds go UP... | 22:40 |
| titan | that is why I use purge though :) | 22:40 |
| Griffrez | titan: It installed with 600MB | 22:40 |
| Roasted | titan, I don't understand how my speeds can go up when I turn off the streaming | 22:40 |
| Griffrez | titan: I'll try... it might do it. | 22:40 |
| Griffrez | titan: I am going to use purge. | 22:40 |
| titan | Roasted: as it finishes writing or something? I am sure it could be a little behind, not sure how the buffer works... I always used it to see who was hogging the bandwidth back int he day :) | 22:41 |
| titan | so really only used it to see the large sustained | 22:41 |
| MissVera | I cant seem to get flash to work on Ubuntu 12.04. I tried installing it from the software center, and even tried installing Lightspark. neither work for firefox or chromium | 22:41 |
| Griffrez | titan: Weird... it didn't uninstall any of the applications. :\ | 22:41 |
| titan | like my 6MB/s downloads down on the NAS right now... there is where all my bw is going | 22:41 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm not sure it's writing anything. I mean, it's set up for Motion detection (I use "Motion" from the repos) but in this instance I'm just streaming it. | 22:42 |
| Casey | whats the command for checking or changing a file's owner? | 22:42 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm just trying to compare the difference with H264 vs MPEG4 streams, as I've heard H264 isn't that great vs MPEG4. | 22:42 |
| titan | right, you have to do them individually griff | 22:42 |
| Roasted | Casey, ls -l is what I use | 22:42 |
| Griffrez | titan: Damn... xD | 22:42 |
| titan | Casey: chown/chgrp for changing | 22:42 |
| Roasted | Casey, checking is ls -l | 22:43 |
| titan | yeah h264 is huge in comparison | 22:43 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm not so sure it is. | 22:43 |
| titan | I can tell you now, set mpeg4 and forget it :) | 22:43 |
| clayton | i upgraded from 11.10 and it screwed everything up | 22:43 |
| Roasted | titan, in fact I've heard a lot that suggests H264 isn't anything to really be excited about. | 22:43 |
| titan | not just in bandwidth... size | 22:44 |
| deadmund | I have some .flac files. When I look at their properties they all list 0.0 seconds duration. Also, when I try to oggenc them I get 'is not a supported format' (oggenc does support flac) | 22:44 |
| Roasted | titan, pardon? | 22:44 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm getting the vibe you like h264, but said to "set mpeg4 and forget it" ??? | 22:44 |
| titan | h264 is great for HD content... but size you don't want to record the largest format | 22:44 |
| arashb | hey guys, i've never applied a .patch file. what's the best way to apply them? | 22:44 |
| titan | mp4 is easier to use for others, smaller, more efficient | 22:44 |
| titan | I love h264/x264 for HD content when quality matters | 22:45 |
| Roasted | titan, in regard to security cameras, though, I'm seeing so little benefit there. | 22:45 |
| titan | for motion recordings, you don't need that extra size and bandwidth usage if you are keeping the files | 22:45 |
| Roasted | titan, in fact a lot of CCTV installers refuse to use H264, citing it as a marketing gimmick more than anything else. | 22:45 |
| titan | exactly... very little for security camera... | 22:45 |
| titan | on them, yes it is | 22:45 |
| Roasted | titan, come to think of it, I guess I'm not even using MPEG4 on my Ubuntu server... | 22:45 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm using MJPG... Motion JPG... | 22:46 |
| titan | they aren't high enough quality optics/vid codecs to take advantage of it | 22:46 |
| Roasted | titan, MPEG4 is only what I'm using when I'm actively watching the stream. | 22:46 |
| titan | that works too... a lot use that to save more size | 22:46 |
| titan | I use video but I have a ton of space | 22:46 |
| MissVera | I cant seem to get flash to work on Ubuntu 12.04. I tried installing it from the software center, and even tried installing Lightspark. neither work for firefox or chromium | 22:46 |
| Roasted | titan, I'm using a 1 mpx camera that does dual stream with Motion on Ubuntu... 247 @ 1fps and then motion detection @ 15 fps... I'm averaging about 90GB for 30 days worth of AVI's. | 22:47 |
| Roasted | titan, it outputs everything in AVI format through the MJPG stream it captures. | 22:47 |
| dbdii407 | Would anyone happen to know which file I'd need to edit to apply "vga=789" for boot? | 22:47 |
| wavelight | hello | 22:47 |
| titan | hmm yeah see at 1mpx h264 has no use or business there | 22:47 |
| Roasted | titan, it's a triple stream camera, so it's not the only thing I'm stuck with, which is good. | 22:48 |
| Roasted | titan, after all, Motion really only supports Motion JPG (MJPG) streams to begin wtih. | 22:48 |
| titan | I would use the motion jpg/mp4 to do it... if it converts to avi that is fine if you want the video to see, you could also leave in jpg and use the software to stream them | 22:48 |
| titan | yeah | 22:48 |
| titan | I use my NAS software for mine | 22:48 |
| Roasted | titan, mind if I PM you? | 22:48 |
| titan | so I get mpg4 output or whatever I guess, I use mpeg4 | 22:48 |
| titan | not at all | 22:49 |

| cntb | grub scanned and listed one too many entries for windows I need to delete one which does not work. how? | 22:59 |
| muelli | Murd0ck: eh, probably "any" is the answer to both questions. "nano" is a preinstalled text editor, I think. And you can use bash scripts to automate your shell tasks. Try to find the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide". | 22:59 |

| OerHeks | arashb, in 2012 month 04 | 23:07 |
| arashb | thank you | 23:07 |
| soosh | But the listening process might not always be available | 23:08 |
| muelli | soosh: eh, so FIFOs are buffered, obviously. And you can configure the size with ulimit IIRC. | 23:08 |
| soosh | muelli: Cool, I didn't know that. | 23:08 |
| soosh | Rather, I knew they were buffered but I thought it was fixed at 65k or so | 23:09 |
| muelli | soosh: if you can't do that due to permissions or so, you might be able to engineer smth with two FIFOs, i.e. build a tiny helper program that reads a FIFO, dumps to it disk and as soon as it can write out all the contents to another FIFO, it'll delete the buffer file. That sounds like 30 lines of Python. | 23:10 |
| soosh | Yeah, I thought about that, but I was hoping there was a nice solution. I'm root so looks like this'll work. Thanks. | 23:10 |
| muelli | soosh: -p The pipe size in 512-byte blocks (this may not be set) | 23:11 |
| soosh | muelli, Awesome. | 23:11 |

| moment | hello guys i'm trying to set apache up under ubuntu so that typing in "localhost" will lead to the front page and typing in "wiki" will lead to another page. i already made both host names point at 127.0.0.1 in my host file. my default configuration file for apache looks | 23:24 |
