| Guest70788 | ya , so then these disk recover programs only search the HDD for the footer and headers and if they can make since of some reconginized pattern they may beable to recover it. | 00:00 |
| guest-IUgf7I | I just rebooted. Now I cannot log in under my account. I don't get a bad password, it just tries to boot and fails. I think xorg is corrupted. Help? | 00:00 |
| c3f59 | doesn't it offer that to you on boot? | 00:00 |
| Guest70788 | How can you make since enough to recover a jpg or other file without the header and footer ghost | 00:00 |
| escott | lanc3r, it probably doesn't help the installers when you do weird things prior to starting | 00:00 |
| lanc3r | like maybe copy everything to my HDD thats on my flashdrive? | 00:01 |
| guest-IUgf7I | nvm, I'm getting constant authentication failures while trying to gain root access in the guest account. >.> | 00:01 |
| Ghosthunter007 | its called computer forensics I do it all the time | 00:01 |
| Guest70788 | dd can copy any sectors you want but the headers and footers is the only way I can think of that a program can recongize it enough to recover it | 00:01 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: if there were no header or footer, an that was the only missing thing then you would add them | 00:01 |
| israel | guest-IUgf7I, sudo aptitude reinstall xorg | 00:01 |
| c3f59 | lanc3r, that wouldn't really do it. that would only put a live install on your disk | 00:01 |
| Ghosthunter007 | one sec I will get you a program that will recover it | 00:01 |
| c3f59 | you don't really want that. usually, live disks offer you to install the system on your disk | 00:02 |
| lanc3r | well its persistant, and i dont want to start all from scratch | 00:02 |
| guest-IUgf7I | israel, I keep getting authentication failures. :/ | 00:02 |
| Guest70788 | wawowe but how would a program know when to add them ? | 00:02 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: it wouldn't | 00:02 |
| c3f59 | well if you want, you can always dd it to your disk | 00:02 |
| guest-IUgf7I | and I have dual screens now | 00:02 |
| Guest70788 | or when the data is completely nonsense | 00:02 |
| kriskropd | Guest70788 i dont know what im talking about, but photorec worked for me in the past | 00:02 |
| Need2Grow | no i said that to get an idea of the teachers style | 00:02 |
| Ghosthunter007 | ok you can download helix2009 boot to it then run FTK it will mount your drive and recover everything you want | 00:03 |
| Need2Grow | is he good..will he/she be conducive to my learning style | 00:03 |
| israel | guest-IUgf7I, are you typing right, did you edit sudoers or passwd | 00:03 |
| c3f59 | that would be something like: dd if=/dev/sd# of=/dev/hd# | 00:03 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: you'd have to match the data to another pure file, then manually add the missing parts | 00:03 |
| guest-IUgf7I | israel, I am. It will not let me even run the sudo command in the guest account, so I was trying 'su' and typing the password. And no, I have not edited either of those files. | 00:03 |
| Guest70788 | well photorec works for alot of my stuff but I intentionally deleted the headers and footer stuff and tried photrec didn't work to recover ? | 00:03 |
| lanc3r | well its persistant, and i dont want to start all from scratch, is there anyway to install linux to my hardrive without looseing all my programs | 00:04 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: at the least know where the file ends and begins | 00:04 |
| Guest70788 | no | 00:04 |
| c3f59 | lanc3r dd oughta work but i don't know how to resize your partition afterwards. | 00:04 |
| wawowe | yes | 00:04 |
| israel | guest-IUgf7I, try ssh from other pc to use an admin user | 00:04 |
| lanc3r | what is dd? | 00:04 |
| Guest70788 | I just know it is on a particular partition that is about 1TB in sizes | 00:04 |
| guest-IUgf7I | israel, I just installed ubuntu today, I don't have ssh setup. | 00:05 |
| OerHeks | you cannot use sudo in guest. | 00:05 |
| c3f59 | dd clones partitions or entire disks to whatever you want (another disk or maybe an image file) | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | lanc3r: You will probably save yourself more time by just doing a normal install, using automatic partitioning, then configuring everything how you want it afterward. Trying to setup parititons manually, and automatically transition your modifications over, is just going to waste time. | 00:06 |
| kriskropd | guest-IUgf7I can't you login through a different runlevel? (function keys 1-5) | 00:06 |
| johny8809 | http://www.wix.com/jetomestil/hot-ass-collection | 00:06 |
| lanc3r | but i have like 2 Gib of programs and settings i dont want to lose | 00:06 |
| Guest70788 | with no footer or header /patterns so then how is it even possible to recover other then manually looking at every sector combination and adding header and footer info in this cases the number of possiblities to try would exceed the known universes life time | 00:07 |
| guest-IUgf7I | kriskropd, ehh what lol? I set the primary account to log in automatically, but after this reboot, that did not happen | 00:07 |
| c3f59 | yeah i am of Jordan_U's opinion on that, but everybody's got to try it for themselves | 00:07 |
| escott | lanc3r, then dont reinstall | 00:07 |
| guest-IUgf7I | upon typing my password into the account, the screen turns black and brings me back to the login screen | 00:07 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: it's not | 00:07 |
| escott | lanc3r, and if you must reinstall look at things like etc-keeper and !clone | 00:07 |
| kriskropd | guest-IUgf7I i meantt o fix this... w.e issue it is you are working for, you said you cant login to run sudo or something because of xorg, can you login to a shell and fix it that way at all? | 00:08 |
| lanc3r | if i use dd, couuld i resize the partion without formating what i just copyed? | 00:08 |
| daniel110 | hi so i just installed ubuntu for the first time on my hp laptop and i am having a problem. Basically everytime i close the lid(it goes to suspend) and reopen, the wifi stops working. I mean i see the bar trying to connect but it asks me to enter a password and then stops working. What should i do? | 00:08 |
| Guest70788 | wait I think I got it if I write a header and footer at the begining and end of the partition in theory the image would appear as a sub image :) I think? | 00:08 |
| guest-IUgf7I | kriskropd: I only checked and alterned a few settings in nvidia's setting program and hit 'save'. That's it. :/ | 00:08 |
| c3f59 | well, i tryed dd many times for different reasons, but i never succeeded in resizing the partition to the new disk | 00:09 |
| guest-IUgf7I | After that, I rebooted and could not log into my account. | 00:09 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: what's your plan? | 00:09 |
| lanc3r | if i use dd, couuld i resize the partion without formating what i just copyed? | 00:09 |
| kriskropd | guest-IUgf7I you are logging in, the problem is your display cannot initialize the x-server, which I believe is why someone suggested 'sudo aptititude reinstall xorg' earlier | 00:09 |
| daniel110 | i tried everything i found online and still doesn't work | 00:10 |
| wawowe | Guest70788: 320gb jpg :P | 00:10 |

| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT.

See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 00:10 |
| escott | lanc3r, no you would have to resize before/after to make it the correct size | 00:10 |
| c3f59 | lanc3r don't double post all the time. | 00:10 |
| escott | !who | lanc3r | 00:10 |

| === nibohr is now known as roboto | ||
| Jordan_U | lanc3r: This is the last time I'm going to say this, but I'm certain that doing a normal install using the Ubuntu installer will save you time and effort. | 00:12 |
| daniel110 | in order to make the wifi work after a suspend i have to reboot my entire laptop | 00:12 |
| c3f59 | Jordan_U, i second that :) | 00:12 |
| reuf | when i do dpkg-reconfigure ruby-rvm | 00:12 |
| === roboto is now known as blals | ||
| reuf | i get /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: ruby-rvm is broken or not fully installed | 00:12 |
| reuf | how do i correct broken package or remove it? | 00:13 |
| wawowe | reuf: dpkg -r | 00:13 |
| reuf | so dpkg -r ruby-rvm ? | 00:14 |
| wawowe | reuf: then do apt-get -f install | 00:14 |
| wawowe | reuf: yea | 00:14 |
| c3f59 | wawowe what is the difference between dpkg -r and apt-get remove ? | 00:15 |
| wawowe | dpkg -r doesn't give a freck and apt-get remove does | 00:15 |
| reuf | wawowe, thanks, it worked | 00:15 |
| kriskropd | c3f59 two different package managers | 00:15 |
| c3f59 | :) aight | 00:15 |
| reuf | wawowe, what do you suggest i read to get better understanding of all this process dpkg, aptitdue, apt-get, sinaptic etc? | 00:16 |
| wawowe | reuf: read about debian and ubuntu package management | 00:17 |
| wawowe | reuf: don't really have any suggestions other that search engines | 00:17 |
| reuf | wawowe, thanks anyways | 00:18 |
| reuf | the thing i get confused is how do all these managers organize their installations etc - in sense do all of them follow same logic where to put what file? | 00:19 |
| wawowe | reuf: apt aptitude synatptic etc use dpkg | 00:19 |
| wawowe | reuf: dpkg is the base | 00:20 |
| reuf | also the directory structure of different linux - it seems that each distro has their own way of organizing files, why so much mess? | 00:20 |
| wawowe | reuf: different package managers | 00:21 |
| wawowe | reuf: different goals, blah, blah | 00:21 |
| reuf | wawowe, thanks - id like to get firm grasp on this, but this is only achievable with years of expirience - so no shortcuts | 00:22 |
| OerHeks | be carefull with aptitude, it is depreciated since 12.04 is multiarch | 00:22 |
| reuf | OerHeks, can you be more specific? | 00:23 |
| reuf | what does it mean? | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 00:23 |

| wawowe | reuf: if you want a bunch of experience all at once, compile your one linux/gnu os | 00:23 |

| wawowe | reuf: gentoo is pretty automated. | 00:26 |

| d4gg3r | hey guys, my wireless card is driving me crazy. it maintains connection but keeps losing packets after a few minutes. then when I turn wireless off and back on it works for another few minutes/secs | 00:30 |
| d4gg3r | any idea what might be the problem? | 00:31 |
| d4gg3r | I have turned the power management stuff off | 00:31 |
| d4gg3r | Wireless works perfectly on the same machine under windows | 00:31 |
| d4gg3r | and ubuntu works great with other wirelesses | 00:31 |

| wawowe | d4gg3r: i would use ndiswrapper if you think it's a driver issue | 00:32 |
| d4gg3r | it might be something with my home wireless also, because ubuntu's wireless works great at my workplace | 00:33 |

| superlou | I'm a big fan of Rubymine (rails IDE) and everything was great until yesterday when suddenly the fonts in Rubymine got really odd (bold and no antialiasing). The only thing I can think of that happened prior was installing Wine. Rubymine is a java app so I don't know why Wine would impact it. I've been searching can't find anything that seems appropriate for the situation. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions on the right search | 01:24 |

| trism | genErica: then run sudo apt-get update; and you should be able to install xfce4 | 02:27 |
| escott | [Steven_M], you can install grub-efi if you have an efi system. if you are using bios+gpt make a "grub_bios" partition (1Mb is sufficient) see rodsbooks.com | 02:27 |
| Gwennifer | Does it make a new partition alongside windows, or does it just install into the windows file directory? | 02:28 |
| genErica | Thanks trism, that's so odd why that wasn't there by default. Thanks a lot! | 02:28 |
| forbidden404 | Gwennifer, alongside, a new partition... if you want to install in a windows directory, you should use Wubi | 02:28 |

| gandalfcome | I'm trying in vain to install ubuntu on a lenovo thinkstation E30 with an intel 520 ssd. I think UEFI might be an issue. Is there a way to install it without UEFI? | 02:31 |
| escott | min|dvir|us, good i was about to say. putting usb sticks into shredders is a bad idea. it can damage the metal blades. explosives are a much better idea | 02:31 |
| min|dvir|us | escott, haha! | 02:31 |
| forbidden404 | gandalfcome, UEFI is something like BIOS, I don't think you can "normally" install without using it | 02:32 |
| escott | gandalfcome, you can see if your UEFI has a bios mode | 02:32 |
| pals0007 | does anyone see my post blink twice for yes | 02:32 |
| escott | pals0007, to be brutally honest thats not a question we like to answer much on this channel. its usually a sign you are doing things wrong (like downloading drivers when you should be using jockey) | 02:33 |
| min|dvir|us | clausen, unless the USB stick has special hardware instructions, I think constantly overwriting is what you're stuck with. | 02:33 |
| gandalfcome | escott: I can switch my bios to legacy mode and boot with MBR, but 12.04 installs itself with uefi built-in. | 02:33 |
| clausen | min|dvir|us, ok, thanks | 02:33 |
| escott | gandalfcome, so where do things go wrong? | 02:33 |
| min|dvir|us | clausen, I think it was obvious that was an opinion. | 02:34 |
| clausen | min|dvir|us, I think I have a slightly better option... encrypting each file, and wiping keys | 02:34 |
| pals0007 | tried compiling the drivers as listed on the ubuntu website but the drives on the rosewell dont show up after reboot till i do the command sudo modprobe rr62x | 02:35 |
| clausen | (but that is a pain too) | 02:35 |
| min|dvir|us | clausen, well, that's out-of-band. | 02:35 |
| min|dvir|us | Unless your only storage is the USB stick, at which point the cleartext would be unshreddable. | 02:35 |
| clausen | min|dvir|us, well, the keys would still be on the USB... | 02:35 |
| josvuk | fixing my sudoers I have to boot into recovery, but I don't use grub it's lilo does holding the shift key works anyway? | 02:35 |
| clausen | ... but you need to recover lots of the key to read the files | 02:36 |
| escott | pals0007, add it to /etc/modules | 02:36 |
| gandalfcome | escott: switching my MB into UEFI mode (not AUTO) it says no boot device found. This is after successful install from the livecd onto the ssd (I mounted it later and checked that files are on there!) | 02:36 |
| min|dvir|us | clausen, are you making a self-destructing Flash drive? | 02:36 |
| escott | gandalfcome, i would boot the livecd, chroot in and install grub-efi | 02:36 |
| clausen | min|dvir|us, no... I just want to erase files :) | 02:36 |
| pals0007 | total newb here what does that mean or how do i add it | 02:37 |
| min|dvir|us | clausen, good, because now I'm going to do that. | 02:37 |

| escott | gandalfcome, i've managed to avoid these efi systems so far so im not cognizant in what needs to be done. sounds like grub-efi is installed. not sure why you are getting the no boot device. can you tell what is giving you the no boot device? uefi? | 02:38 |

| gandalfcome | escott: I should mention that I followed an ubuntu online guid that suggested formatting things into gpt. that's what I did. | 02:49 |
| escott | gandalfcome, sure it does. its just normal grub. you would install grub to the mbr and boot it that way. if you have a gpt disk you need to create a grub_bios partition (as small as 1MB is plenty) | 02:49 |
| izumu | I don't know how to use scheme very much, who can help me? | 02:50 |
| gandalfcome | escott: guess what I have a 100mb uefi partition, that seems useless as of now. will that do for the grub_bios parition? | 02:50 |
| escott | gandalfcome, gpt is required by uefi. bios+grub can boot gpt the only difficulty is the grub stage2 which is normally placed between the mbr and the first partition. there isn't always space with gpt for that | 02:50 |

| Balask | Hello, I am runnng a live CD of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I am trying to mount my hard drive that has another install of Ubuntu on it and it says it is busy with another task. How do I end all tasks on a certain drive? | 02:51 |
| noiro | hey guys, I am trying to install wine on ubuntu and I am getting a TrueType core fonts. I tried hitting Enter, space, or even clicking inside on <Ok> but am getting nothing | 02:51 |
| izumu | restart your computer ? | 02:51 |
| Balask | Tried restarting the computer it is doing it on a fresh restart without launching anything ahead of time | 02:52 |
| izumu | 你好。 | 02:52 |
| escott | noiro, hit tab | 02:52 |
| noiro | thanks escott. I knew it was something simple | 02:52 |
| gandalfcome | let's say I ditch uefi (gladly if that works), can I still use the gpt partition table. Can I just use the 100 mb fat16 and change the flag to bios_grub? Then what do I do? | 02:52 |
| djbpython1 | not sure where to turn, but i just installed 12.04, and when using vi in the terminal characters are being typed that I don't expect (like enter is typing C, instead of a newline...) | 02:52 |
| gandalfcome | escott: see above^ | 02:53 |
| escott | gandalfcome, you could do that. it would confuse other operating systems, but you can certainly do that | 02:53 |
| izumu | vi is not very good.you can use gvim or vim instead . | 02:53 |
| izumu | I think vim in terminal mode is perfect. | 02:54 |
| bwat47 | i like nano for simple edits | 02:54 |
| Gwennifer | Is it possible to downgrade to 11.04 or do I have to uninstall 12.04 first? | 02:54 |
| noiro | archlinux uses vi | 02:54 |
| gandalfcome | escott: there shallt not be other operating systems. so no problem. What do you recommend? reformat and put the disk into ms-dos partition table? | 02:54 |
| djbpython1 | izumu: is that meant for me? I'm concerned i've got something else screwed up though | 02:54 |
| izumu | I try nano just now.... | 02:55 |
| genii-around | Gwennifer: If you want to back to a previous version, you have to reinstall it again | 02:55 |
| izumu | very good. | 02:55 |
| Gwennifer | Kay, how do I uninstall 12.04? | 02:55 |
| cipher__ | anyone here still sentimental over gnome2? back when the UI was sane? | 02:55 |
| escott | gandalfcome, you shouldnt need to redo the entire install. i would just resize the gpt partition (the 100MB one) and free 1MB and make that into a grub_bios partition, but keep it gpt. then chroot in. remove grub-efi and install grub, then run grub-install and see if that boots | 02:56 |
| * noiro raises his hand (to the cipher__ comment) | 02:56 | |
| hilarie | Okay.... my ubuntu server can't ping google, unknown host, but can dig it... | 02:56 |
| hilarie | suggestions? | 02:56 |
| genii-around | Gwennifer: Just install the old version over the 12.04, but be sure to make sure it formats the drive | 02:56 |
| Gwennifer | You mean the partition...? | 02:56 |
| genii-around | Gwennifer: Yes | 02:56 |
| Gwennifer | I have a mostly filled 450gb windows 7 partition I'd rather not lose. | 02:56 |
| Gwennifer | Is there a way to get the grub menu thing off where it asks me what OS to boot? | 02:57 |
| genii-around | Gwennifer: When you install 11.04 it will just rescan and make a new one | 02:57 |
| izumu | grub has a new verion of 2.00 | 02:57 |
| cipher__ | Gwennifer, i could be mistaken, but you could set the timeout to 0, so it defaults quickly enough it isn't an issue | 02:57 |
| noiro | I can't find anything in 12.04....holy crap. e.o | 02:57 |
| hylian | somehow ubuntu got set to english, and removed everything english US. is there a way short of reinstallation that could solve this problem? | 02:58 |
| noiro | where is a menu to select applications other than this hotbar thing? | 02:58 |
| escott | !notunity | noiro | 02:58 |
| ubottu | noiro: 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 | 02:58 |
| cipher__ | haha, you want a menu? | 02:58 |
| cipher__ | that's silly. | 02:59 |
| noiro | I don't want to memorize commands for every GUI program I install. :P | 02:59 |
| noiro | or just to execute it | 02:59 |
| Gwennifer | Mmm...I'd rather it default to Windows 7, can I change it so it'll do that? | 02:59 |
| Gwennifer | With a timeout of 3? | 02:59 |
| cipher__ | one moment Gwennifer | 03:00 |
| Gwennifer | Kay. | 03:00 |
| jagginess | noiro, if you install gnome-shell, you can relogin with a different desktop (that has a menu)(you click on the gear icon on the logon screen) | 03:00 |
| HelloWorld321 | My software center is doing something annoying: it pauses on a " | more" that wants me to look over all hte release notes. Is there a way to make it skip that automatically? I always fall asleep waatching the progress bar, and then wonder why it stopped at halfway | 03:00 |
| noiro | jagginess, I love Unity's look, I just can't find anything. | 03:01 |
| cipher__ | okay Gwennifer open a console/terminal and type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst then find the line where it says default 0 | 03:01 |
| jagginess | noiro, keep clicking.. theres an internal menu with unity | 03:01 |
| Gwennifer | This is after I install 11.04 over 12.04, or before? | 03:02 |
| === esm is now known as Guest38641 | ||
| cipher__ | noiro, i love a nicely configured openbox | 03:02 |
| gandalfcome | escott: sso I have used the boot-repair-disk suggested by ubuntu forums: paste.ubuntu.com/1087261/ | 03:02 |
| cipher__ | Gwennifer, whenever, i suppose | 03:02 |
| cipher__ | you may need to change it after you reinstall | 03:02 |
| cipher__ | not sure. | 03:02 |
| noiro | openbox is amazing, fast and smooth. I just haven't gotten it to have the best aesthetics yet. | 03:02 |
| cipher__ | noiro, can i share what my 'fluxbox' machine looks like atm? | 03:03 |
| gandalfcome | escott: and now I get missing operating system. | 03:03 |
| noiro | sure. I just installed Ubuntu over Archlinux (I don't have time to configure it right now and needed something 'now') | 03:03 |
| Gwennifer | Cipher, can you PM me the full instructions? | 03:03 |
| gandalfcome | escott: which is a slightly different phrase thatn error 1962: no operating system found. press any key to repeat boot sequence. | 03:04 |
| djbpython1 | so what have I screwed up to screw up vi so backspace and delete don't work properly | 03:04 |
| jrdnn | +1 for openbox | 03:04 |
| escott | gandalfcome, i wouldn't read anything into that difference. its just a different code path UEFI vs BIOS | 03:04 |
| hylian | i accidentally installed a program that destroyed english and installed chinese, how do i do the exact opposite. language format for instance is either chinese or nothing. | 03:05 |
| gandalfcome | escott: it still doesn't work. I reinstalled an mbr onto the disk pointing to sda2. | 03:05 |
| gandalfcome | escott: did you have a look at the pastebin? Maybe I need to switch /dev/sda2 to bios boot partition? | 03:07 |
| Balask | what does it mean when it says filesystem not clean and how do i fix that on a ext4 partition? | 03:08 |
| Gwennifer | Cipher? | 03:08 |
| escott | gandalfcome, you have a hybrid disk. that might be your problem | 03:08 |
| gandalfcome | escott: nope it's an ssd (intel). | 03:08 |
| zykotick9 | Balask: boot recovery (and/or livecd) and fsck the partition | 03:08 |
| escott | gandalfcome, there is no reason for you to have a hybrid partition table. i would go with straight gpt or straight mbr | 03:08 |
| Gwennifer | Ugh...I'll just uninstall Ubuntu and try again in a few months. How do you delete it? | 03:09 |
| escott | rodsbooks.com will tell you all about hybrid tables, but its just not necessary for your use case | 03:09 |
| noiro | is wine's test sound option supposed to sound scratchy? | 03:09 |
| === hilarie_ is now known as hilarie | ||
| escott | gandalfcome, ^^^ so you could reinstall and create a new table that is gpt only, or install and use gdisk in the livecd and convert away from hybrid | 03:09 |
| cipher__ | noiro, well here it is anyway, it probably doesn't look very good, i tried anyway. http://i46.tinypic.com/21ennc.png (originally 1440x800) | 03:10 |
| cipher__ | (1440x1200*) | 03:10 |
| noiro | nicely done cipher. Is that ubuntu? e.o | 03:10 |
| gandalfcome | escott: so very stupid question: I guess it's not either mbr or uefi are not opposite of the coin? okay am in live cd. gdisk or gparted? | 03:10 |
| cipher__ | yeah, that's ubuntu :p | 03:11 |
| escott | gandalfcome, wait im reading this wrong... nevermind its fine | 03:11 |
| cipher__ | "ubuntu" | 03:11 |
| escott | gandalfcome, i dont know what to recommend to you honestly | 03:12 |
| gandalfcome | escott: which partition needs to have the bios_grub boot flag? /dev/sda1? /dev/sda2? and do I need an MBR for non-UEFI boot? | 03:12 |
| cipher__ | would it be a crime to suggest we share desktops, i need to sprucen things up -- aesthetics inquiries are just as valid, as any other. | 03:13 |
| escott | gandalfcome, presuming that what is now labled BIOS Boot Partition was the EFI partition then grub-bios should be ok. although having it as fat is wrong. a grub_bios partition is not supposed to have a filesystem | 03:13 |
| escott | gandalfcome, bios grub on a gpt disk requires ~1MB of partitioned, but unformatted space with a label of grub_bios | 03:13 |
| escott | gandalfcome, i dont know if label is the right term... but its in the options for gpt format stuff | 03:14 |
| Balask | okay so fsck tells me it had an error reading a block "(Attempted to read from filesystem resulted in short read). " What happens if I ignore the error, should I ignore the error? How can I fix it? | 03:15 |
| zykotick9 | escott: you can e2label mbr partitions (it's not just gpt for sure) | 03:15 |
| === martyn is now known as Guest39565 | ||
| gandalfcome | so if I reinstall: I repartition the disk to be non-gpt (ms-dos) and will let ubuntu choose to install on this disk, will it avoid UEFI (does that logic make sense?) | 03:15 |
| john38 | Can somebody help me | 03:16 |
| john38 | ? | 03:16 |
| jrdnn | john38: With? | 03:16 |
| zykotick9 | !ask | john38 | 03:16 |
| ubottu | john38: 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 | 03:16 |
| john38 | How do you open a DVD VideoTS folder with movie player | 03:16 |
| gandalfcome | escott: ^ sorry above | 03:16 |
| escott | gandalfcome, you can't avoid uefi unless the uefi has a bios emulation mode | 03:16 |
| john38 | anybody know? | 03:17 |
| jrdnn | john38: If you have Totem-xine click open location and browse to where VIDEO_TS is. | 03:17 |
| john38 | jrdnn, ok | 03:18 |
| zykotick9 | john38: you do mean "Movie Player" (aka Totem) right? i'd have no idea in that case... in my personal experience vlc is better then totem, and mplayer is more powerful then vlc | 03:18 |
| gandalfcome | escott: the system setting software (I called that bios; accessible by F1) does have a legacy mode. I have switched it to said legacy mode now (after trying UEFI to no avail). BTW thanks for your help!!! I think I can at least learn more about the system that way. | 03:18 |
| john38 | zykotick9, ok | 03:18 |
| escott | gandalfcome, legacy mode means bios emulation mode. so instead of uefi looking for a efi partition on a gpt disk it just executes the code in the mbr. so in that mode installing the normal grub should work | 03:19 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: it won't let hardly do anything from the live disk | 03:20 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, i dont even know what your original question was anymore | 03:20 |

| john38 | jrdnn, ok i got it to work with Vlc | 03:27 |

| sacul | Hey everyone. I'm having a but of a problem with HDMI and fglrx. My AMD Fusion based board worked fine with HDMI until I installed the proprietary drivers. I only installed them because I wanted sound over HDMI as well. Now the video does not work over HDMI? The splash screen shows up but when the desktop loads the screen goes black and only the DVI output works. I have googled this to no avail and posted on the forums. Any help would be | 04:12 |
| sacul | greatly appreciated | 04:12 |
| melkor | lanc3r: you really shouldn't be doing everying as root, use sudo when you need elevated priveledges. | 04:12 |
| lanc3r | im useing backtrack | 04:12 |

| TheDruidsKeeper | sacul: it's interesting that the fglrx driver shows the splash screen still.. sounds to me like it just has the wrong device set as the default for output | 04:22 |
| sacul | TheDruidsKeeper: I plug it in with DVI and checked the options in catalyst.. doesn't see HDMI at all | 04:22 |
| TheDruidsKeeper | sacul: that was the output from the aplay? | 04:22 |
| sacul | TheDruidsKeeper: yes sir | 04:23 |
| L3top | sacul: does speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,3 make noise? | 04:23 |
| L3top | wait... what? DVI? | 04:23 |
| TheDruidsKeeper | L3top: he has dvi and hdmi out, using the fglrx driver only outputs the the dvi instead of the hdmi | 04:24 |
| L3top | sorry... big misunderstanding there... thanks TheDruidsKeeper | 04:24 |

| shades | what do you all think of Privatix live | 04:31 |
| L3top | sacul: further advice would be guess work, and involve removing things Ubuntu puts in by default. | 04:31 |
| sacul | L3top: I'll keep googling.. maybe i'll reinstall the driver and then the second one (says something about updates after release?) | 04:32 |
| L3top | gr33n7007h: No reason to say sorry... wasn't a dangerous command, and maybe some people learned something they didn't know. That's the whole reason I hang out here ;) | 04:32 |

| |Long| | dj_segfault, i try to edit root crontab | 04:40 |
| sacul | L3top: ran with and without sudo.. no sound | 04:40 |

| |Long| | dj_segfault, is only work if i run manyally each individual job | 04:45 |
| dj_segfault | |Long|: It;s more likely that you set up the tasks incorrectly than crontab is broken. The most common mistake is forgetting that when Crontab runs, especially as root, it does not have your shell environment, including the path. What I would do is add a task to run that doesn't depend on anything. For instance, "/bin/date > /tmp/crontest". | 04:45 |
| sacul | L3top: 2 lines.. okay to paste here? | 04:45 |
| dj_segfault | |Long|: Also are you sure you're specifying the run times right? Can you pastebin some of it? | 04:45 |
| L3top | I am just looking to see that they are installed sacul, and are at version 1.0.25 | 04:46 |

| sacul | L3top: standby | 05:17 |
| L3top | X is the graphical environment. xserver is what is providing the X environment... long and short. | 05:17 |
| L3top | I am not sure the answer to your question iharp. Nice to see you again though. | 05:18 |
| wols | iharp: google doesn't support external flash plugins. only the internal one | 05:18 |
| iharp | L3top: Good to see you as well. Yeah, flash in google is choppy, but not in my rekonq. | 05:19 |
| sacul | I can't wait for flash to die. Google isn't supporting it on the android platform anymore | 05:19 |
| iharp | L3top: Trying to find a fix, because I'm having certain things not pop up in rekonq that are working fine in goole.. losing on both ends here | 05:20 |
| * L3top wonders if the two are related | 05:20 | |
| Ghosthunter007 | flash isnt dying | 05:20 |
| iharp | I thought HTML5 was going to replace flash | 05:20 |
| Ghosthunter007 | oh wait that internal info forget I said that | 05:20 |
| iharp | at some point... | 05:20 |
| sacul | ^ | 05:20 |
| L3top | flash is dying. They have completely dropped support for linux btw. This is the last version ever. | 05:21 |
| === journeeman is now known as Guest28816 | ||
| jagginess | L3top, says who? | 05:21 |
| Ghosthunter007 | sure | 05:21 |
| L3top | adobe | 05:21 |
| sacul | Its no longer necessary with HTML5 | 05:21 |
| jagginess | L3top, then why did they partner to store flash on canonical's third party repository? | 05:22 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Adobe is a client of ours and I know for a fact flash is not dying they are redesigning it. | 05:22 |
| Tm_T | flash discussion is best continued in #ubuntu-offtopic (: | 05:22 |

| L3top | sorry... correct Tm_T... had already hit enter. | 05:23 |
| jagginess | L3top, in a way it's wrong because flash comes with chrome, so i'll just switch to using chrome if i cant get the latest flash plugin for firefox | 05:23 |
| jagginess | (and if html5 sux and most hosts rather choose flash, then i guess it means i'll switch to chrome) | 05:24 |

| sacul | L3top: rebooting after the initial driver install.. will install the update when it comes back up | 05:24 |
| L3top | I would avoid the update... it throws errors for me too... | 05:25 |

| sacul | L3top: The errors in the log seem to be related to the fact that i'm not currently using fglrx | 05:25 |
| sacul | therefore i can't use the updates | 05:26 |
| L3top | ... that would be... weird... but maybe jockey is doing something I am unfamiliar with. I presumed it was grabbing that package ubottu gave | 05:26 |
| sacul | L3top: odd.. came back up with the original driver not activated after a reboot... | 05:26 |
| L3top | apt-cache policy fglrx | grep stalled | 05:27 |
| sacul | L3top: maybe because i tried to do the update before a reboot.. retrying | 05:27 |

| sacul | L3top: only one entry.. assuming fglrx didn't install | 05:28 |
| L3top | If the entry was something other than (none) it installed | 05:29 |

| sacul | L3top: we'll see what happens when it comes up this time | 05:30 |
| L3top | Like I said sacul... fglrx is really finnicky. I don't recommend screwing with it once its in. It is a pain to purge and get back to fresh so that you can install it clean again. | 05:30 |
| sacul | L3top: thanks for all your help by the way. This is taking quite a bit of effort! :P | 05:31 |

| L3top | No problem bonny... better is an issue of perspective. I prefer free to "we bought it and you can't have it anymore" position of oracle for the closed source package. However SOME things require oracles version. I would stick with what you have. | 05:41 |
| L3top | bonny: please describe the problem you are having. Lets start there. | 05:42 |
| bonny | Ok well it involves a game i play called minecraft, a server i play on ip changed and since then ubuntu cant connect to it. But my windows side can. | 05:43 |

| narayana | bonny: i meant how you connect to the server | 05:51 |
| bonny | narayana: Yes it is the same ip.. | 05:51 |
| bonny | :/ | 05:51 |
| sacul | bonny: but you do enter the ip address and port number in the game when you add the server.. just confirm that those are the same | 05:51 |
| L3top | sacul: in fact... just export DISPLAY=:0 | 05:51 |
| sacul | L3top: outputs are the same | 05:51 |
| bonny | sacul: I tried both. | 05:51 |

| L3top | bonny: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre but I sincerely doubt this is going to fix your issue. | 05:59 |
| sacul | bonny: I think the server is having issues.. I'm getting the same error on my install of mine craft on my mac | 06:00 |
| L3top | bonny: Its a pain. the oracle part. you can only download it from oracle... they forced cononical to remove it from repos when they purchased it. | 06:00 |
| gr33n7007h | researcher123, lshw | grep -A 4 -e "*-memory" | 06:00 |
| L3top | again bonny. I do not believe this will resolve your issue | 06:01 |
| bonny | L3top: Oh, do you know how? I just read online that JDK has some issues with minecraft. | 06:01 |
| L3top | gr33n7007h: researcher123 probably want to throw sudo on that. lshw likes sudo. | 06:01 |
| bonny | L3top: Trying doesnt hurt right? | 06:01 |
| L3top | can. Very much so. One moment bonny I will try and find you a link. | 06:02 |

| bonny | sacul: But there are people playing on the server. | 06:03 |
| gr33n7007h | researcher123, yeah forgot sudo --> 'sudo lshw | grep -A 4 -e "*-memory"' | 06:03 |
| L3top | I don't aaron_ I was looking forward to someone answering that question. | 06:03 |
| sacul | bonny: I see that. maybe they joined before the troubles began? | 06:03 |
| bonny | sacul: Like i said earlier, it works on my windows side. | 06:04 |
| bonny | sacul: The server shutdown and the owner said the ip had changed. | 06:05 |
| bonny | sacul: That is the new ip i sent you see for yourself bunnyxd.com | 06:05 |
| sacul | aaron_: noauto in fstab? | 06:05 |
| sacul | bonny: I dunno then bonny | 06:06 |
| bonny | L3top: How can i install oracle.. | 06:06 |
| aaron_ | yes sacul that looks like its worth a try, thanks | 06:06 |
| sacul | aaron_: no problem | 06:06 |
| L3top | bonny: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ sudo apt-get remove openjdk* first... might even purge. | 06:07 |
| L3top | aaron_: please report success or fail | 06:07 |
| L3top | so sacul... I do am assuming you do not have video... and you rebooted once for good measure? | 06:07 |
| sacul | L3top: haven't rebooted.. but will do now | 06:08 |
| L3top | sacul: and just to be clear... this tv is capable of at least 720p right? | 06:08 |
| sacul | oh ya.. worked fine with my old machine. built this one to be smaller.. wife didn't much like a full tower in the living room | 06:08 |
| bonny | L3top: If you dont think this will fix it what else can i do? | 06:08 |
| sacul | L3top: 1080p 40" samsung tv | 06:09 |
| L3top | It might fix it. Like I said... some things NEED oracle java. A LOT of people come in here about minecraft. I know absolutely nothing about it unfortunately... well... except now I know it uses java. | 06:10 |
| sacul | no dice L3top | 06:10 |
| L3top | ok sacul. We told it to output 720p with a spoonfed modline. If it is were a low res issue... that would have fixed it. | 06:10 |

| calcmandan | is there a kernel module that allows reading from a compact flash drive? When i put a micro sd card on my machine, it mounts fine. If i load a live disc, it won't see the same micro sd. i'm thinking kubuntu's live disc kernel doesn't have the module. | 07:06 |

| GhostWolf | mrblood thats not what im talking about, in previous version like 11.04 the launcher disappears whenever i launch a program, as i just installed 12.04 cause i had problems with 11.10 the launcher does not disappear. | 07:08 |

| partitionscrewup | I had my PC setup to dualboot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I wanted to be able to share files between the two OS and found that I would need to create a separate partition for those files. | 07:10 |
| partitionscrewup | So, I went on windows and used easus partition manager to resize the existing partitions and create the new one. After I rebooted and it completed the whole process, I was no longer able to boot into any OS. | 07:10 |
| clu3 | and my ubuntu box is awefully slow | 07:10 |
| fsck | fidel , magpie : i got error "ext2 : can't find inode :12321 " input / output error .Due to which i can't change my desktop background and many other problem .I google the problem and they tell me to use fsck .Will it help me ? | 07:10 |
| partitionscrewup | This is obviously a MBR problem but I don't know how to fix it. | 07:10 |
| partitionscrewup | The error I get at boot is: Loading Operating System... error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> | 07:10 |
| partitionscrewup | I had a backup image of my entire system that was made with Acronis but restoring the MBR from that doesn't seem to help. I can't just restore the entire system because I have very important files that were never backed up. I really need to get Ubuntu working again. | 07:11 |
| partitionscrewup | can anyone help with this? | 07:11 |
| mrblood | GhostWolf, you mean it doesnt disappear even when you make the program window take up the whole screen? | 07:11 |

| psicobra | GhostWolf, ahhh i got rid of unity and installed gnome | 07:14 |

| psicobra | partitionscrewup, you can boot of a live cd and fix grub | 07:16 |
| GhostWolf | magpie ok thanks, do you know what happened with amsn? i know i was able to install it with 11.10 but i found out its not even shown in the software center | 07:16 |
| partitionscrewup | how? im on the ubuntu demo cd right now | 07:16 |
| magpie | Ghostwolf if its not in software-center maybe the ppa has to be manually added | 07:17 |
| psicobra | partitionscrewup, this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 07:17 |
| psicobra | partitionscrewup, the princible is similar | 07:17 |
| partitionscrewup | ok, im checking that now | 07:17 |
| magpie | Ghostwolf google add amsn ppa and you'll find it, just copy-paste the command in terminal, then update, and then go to software center and install it mate | 07:17 |
| GhostWolf | magpie ok, i'll even google amsn. see if they have a way to install it. without doing the ppa i just want something very similar to msn and thats what amsn was minus a little problem i had with it | 07:18 |

| ikonia | fsck: when you change the background what happens | 07:38 |

| ikonia | fsck: so if you click "no image" does it remove the image ? | 07:43 |

| arulmozhi | how I can chmod the other drives(partitions) to give executable permission??? | 07:43 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: u+x or g+x | 07:44 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: you change "files" not partitions | 07:44 |
| arulmozhi | i mean the files in the partitions | 07:44 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: you can use -R for recursive | 07:44 |
| fsck | ikonia : intially i'm in ubuntu@ubuntu and now i'm in new@ubuntu (i created it now) | 07:44 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: man chmod will give you all the available flags | 07:44 |
| ikonia | fsck: what did you do to change the ubuntu user to cause this problem | 07:45 |
| arulmozhi | i have a location /media/Programming/sphinx. when I'm in /media/Programming I issue chmod 777 -R sphinx | 07:45 |
| arulmozhi | it is not working | 07:45 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: is this an NTFS drive ? | 07:45 |
| arulmozhi | yes | 07:45 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: you can't change permissions on NTFS | 07:45 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: and the command would be "chmod -R 777" not chmod 777 -R | 07:46 |
| fsck | ikonia :don't know . it accidently shutdown .I think it may be the problem | 07:46 |
| GhostWolf | does anyone know if theres a way to make the browsers when theres more than 1 window open not on top of each other? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | fsck: what do you mean it accidentally shutdown, what did ? | 07:46 |
| arulmozhi | so only way is to format the partition into ext4 or FAT??? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: you can't set permissions on fat | 07:46 |
| arulmozhi | only ext variants?? | 07:47 |
| fsck | ikonia : when i press ctr+alt+f8 , i get error ext2 : can't read inode information " input / output error | 07:47 |
| ikonia | arulmozhi: Windows can manage NTFS permissions | 07:47 |
| ikonia | fsck: that's not what I asked | 07:47 |
| ikonia | fsck: although input/output error suggests the disks file system has problems | 07:47 |
| rogst | GhostWolf: Im not sure I understand your question | 07:48 |
| fsck | ikonia: my brother just plug out my pendrive from my system : ( | 07:48 |
| GhostWolf | rogst, the firefox browser when i have more than one window open it is on top of one antoher when i hit tab, unlike with say with 11.04 i can hit tab and go to that browser window without doing extra steps | 07:49 |
| fidel | GhostWolf: so you want to navigate using ALT + TAB between single winows of an app (here: firefox) ...right? | 07:49 |
| GhostWolf | fidel, correct. instead it i have to go to firefox or another same app and hit the up or down arrow buttons and use the left or right arrow keys to select the page i want. | 07:50 |
| === boss is now known as Guest14765 | ||
| rogst | GhostWolf: if you hold ALT+TAB you can navigate to a single window with the arrow keys | 07:50 |
| ikonia | fsck: can you boot from a live media and fsck it for interests sake | 07:50 |
| GhostWolf | i don't want that way i want it the simple way | 07:50 |
| fidel | GhostWolf: alt+tab + arrow down works here too in gnome3 | 07:50 |
| === thomas is now known as tdubellz | ||
| GhostWolf | fidel in 11.04 it was a single window not on top of each other, like when you see the firefox icon and see 3 little lines on the left meaning how many pages/windows of it opened. | 07:51 |
| gr33n7007h | can someone /whois me | 07:52 |
| GhostWolf | i mean like now its what happens sorry for my typo | 07:52 |
| rogst | GhostWolf: You could install compizconfig-settings-manager and change the alt-tab switcher from the unity switcher to one of the static application switcher | 07:52 |
| AdvoWork | If I do crontab -l it says there isn't any. There is some but I dont know what user theyre for, so how can i list all cronjobs for all users? | 07:53 |
| Dayofswords | is anyone non-root directory of help.ubuntu.com slowing being removed from google? like "Apt-Cacher-Server" has no results to the help page, but on Bing it's the first result. doing "help.ubuntu.com" has only one result going to the homepage of it, nothing else. | 07:53 |
| fidel | GhostWolf: talking about unity? | 07:53 |
| fidel | just to understahdn what setup you are talking about in detail | 07:53 |
| GhostWolf | argh.. i was using unity in 11.04. they never used the browsers on top of each other. | 07:53 |
| rogst | GhostWolf: but using compizconfig-settings-manager is a little risky since it is easy to break the compiz settings | 07:53 |
| GhostWolf | fidel, yes | 07:53 |
| fidel | GhostWolf: cant help you then sorry | 07:53 |
| GhostWolf | so i don't think its something to do with unity. | 07:53 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: look in /var/spool/cron | 07:53 |

| ikonia | moes: bios normally | 07:54 |
| ikonia | gr33n7007h: why ? | 07:54 |
| gr33n7007h | just to see if ive cloaked properly | 07:55 |
| ikonia | gr33n7007h: #freenode is the network channel | 07:55 |
| ikonia | gr33n7007h: you can also whois yourself | 07:55 |
| gr33n7007h | i've just been there just want to make sure it's masked | 07:55 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, nothing in there :S | 07:55 |
| fsck | ikonia : i'm using persistence usb , it work fine in other user | 07:55 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: no user owned cronjobs then | 07:56 |
| ikonia | fsck: it doesn't sounds like it, or you would be able to modify your desktop | 07:56 |
| ikonia | fsck: if you can't remove things like the install button from your desktop, it's being re-read from the liveboot | 07:56 |
| ikonia | fsck: which makes sense as the system default user's storage is stored in the live medias squash FS | 07:56 |
| fsck | ikonia : how to repair squash now | 07:57 |
| ikonia | fsck: you don't repair that, it's re-created each time you boot, hence why your desktop is not changing | 07:57 |

| AdvoWork | ikonia, the thing is, im getting cronjobs for stuff each day :S | 07:59 |
| fsck | ikonia : so, whats the solution ? | 07:59 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: yes, there are system cronjobs such as log rotations | 07:59 |
| ikonia | fsck: I think you need to look how your system's persistance is setup | 07:59 |
| ikonia | fsck: 1.) fsck the usb disk to make sure that's ok 2.) look at your persistance setup | 08:00 |
| ikonia | fsck: simple test, login as the ubuntu user, touch a file in your home directory, reboot, is that file still in your ubuntu users home directory | 08:00 |
| qubits | aptitude accidentally removed dmraid on me and I need to figure out how to get my data volume back up, i reinstalled dmraid but i think my volume was encrypted. How would I go about getting my volume back up | 08:00 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, yeah thats what they are: run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 its for things from ebox, which i removed :S | 08:01 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: ok, so if you know where they are.....what's the problem ? | 08:01 |
| AdvoWork | can I just delete them ikonia ? | 08:02 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: if you want to | 08:02 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, ie in /etc/cron.daily i have a folder called ebox, can i just totally remove that? | 08:03 |
| fsck | ikonia: if it don't work , how to repair my casper-rw ? | 08:03 |

| qubits | Hey guys, could you help me get my raid volume back | 08:04 |
| fidel | qubits: give it a try - whats the current status? | 08:06 |
| dial-a-monkey | __Hayes__: I think the "stat" file command shows the last access date = could match that with the auth.log | 08:06 |
| qubits | fidel: i just reinstalled dmraid and cryptsetup after aptitude removed it and my volume disappeared. I forget how I had it up and working, kinda set it and forget it | 08:07 |
| ikonia | dmraid, oh dear | 08:07 |
| fidel | uff never used dmraid myself | 08:08 |
| qubits | I think it was encrypted. There are commands to list volumes right | 08:08 |
| qubits | dmadm? | 08:08 |
| fidel | mdadm? ;) | 08:08 |
| ikonia | mdadm and dmraid are different approaches | 08:08 |
| bterry | b.terry@gmx.com | 08:08 |
| qubits | i dont see dmadm on my pc | 08:08 |
| fidel | ikonia: but mdadm is the more common one right? | 08:09 |
| ikonia | fidel: it depends, | 08:09 |
| === Guest36551 is now known as Freeaqingme | ||
| ikonia | qubits: there is no such thing as dmadm | 08:09 |
| qubits | mdadm then | 08:09 |
| qubits | can't find that either | 08:09 |
| fidel | ikonia: k - used mdadm a lot - but never get in contact with dmraid | 08:09 |
| ikonia | qubits: have you installed mdadm ? | 08:09 |
| qubits | i reinstalled it | 08:09 |
| ikonia | qubits: sorry, you're not making sense | 08:09 |
| ikonia | qubits: did you setup the raid with dmraid or mdadm ? | 08:09 |
| qubits | i believe mdadm, hard to say | 08:10 |
| ikonia | it's not hard to say | 08:10 |
| ikonia | what did you set it up with | 08:10 |
| qubits | hard to remember | 08:10 |
| qubits | i'm going to go with mdadm | 08:10 |
| ikonia | then I'm sorry, I'm not going to attempt to recover an encypted device on a dissambled raid array that you can't rememebr what technology you used to setup | 08:10 |
| qubits | thought when dmraid was removed the volume disappeared | 08:10 |
| qubits | can i show you what was removed ikonia | 08:11 |
| ikonia | no | 08:11 |
| fidel | qubits: in case you tend to forget such things - consider using some kind of notes next time ;) | 08:11 |
| ikonia | someone else maybe willing to help you though | 08:11 |
| qubits | I just have worse memory issues than most people | 08:11 |
| qubits | ikonia: just check it out, it should be obvious what was used | 08:11 |
| ikonia | qubits: no | 08:12 |
| qubits | dmraid | 08:12 |
| qubits | ikonia: try to be a little more intuitive than the rest of these blokes around here who are so self absorbed theyre unwilling to help or learn something new once in a while | 08:12 |
| qubits | be better than that, its dmraid, lets move on | 08:12 |
| ikonia | qubits: sorry, please don't tell me what to do, I'm actually quite intrusive and will probe for information | 08:13 |
| ikonia | qubits: and calling others self absorbed won't get you help from other people | 08:13 |

| delhivery | Hi, why is there no ppa for https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon/ on precise? [ Is there I can add ppa for oneric or quantal to a 12.04 install instead? ] | 08:14 |
| ikonia | qubits: security has nothing to do with what you are saying | 08:14 |
| qubits | then i've nothing to worry about | 08:14 |
| qubits | be as intrusive as you like | 08:14 |
| ikonia | qubits: sorry, I thought you where asking about recovering a raid array, I have no idea why you are referencing security | 08:15 |
| DJones | delhivery: Presumably because the creator of the ppa hasn't built it for precise, or they decided not to bother | 08:15 |
| ikonia | DeSian: probably not been created yet | 08:15 |
| ikonia | oops delhivery that was for you | 08:15 |
| qubits | you referenced intrusive probing | 08:15 |
| ikonia | qubits: no, you asked me to be intrusive, I said I am intrusive meaning when finding out issues to resolve a problem. | 08:15 |
| ikonia | apologies if my wording confused you | 08:16 |
| qubits | ikonia: your reading confused us both, I didn't use that word, go re-read the message | 08:16 |
| ikonia | sorry, you said intuitive, | 08:16 |
| qubits | Yes | 08:16 |
| ikonia | I miss-read | 08:16 |
| delhivery | DJones, possible to include ppa for older / upcoming version to 12.04 instead then? | 08:16 |
| qubits | Can you help me now that we know that it's dmraid please | 08:16 |
| ikonia | qubits: no | 08:16 |
| qubits | This isn't going to be easy to get help with, why give up now | 08:17 |
| ikonia | qubits: I've explained why. | 08:17 |
| qubits | I'm certain now | 08:17 |
| qubits | no question | 08:17 |
| DJones | czajkowski: delhivery Its not recommended to install something designed for an older version, it could conflict/cause problems | 08:17 |
| ikonia | qubits: I'm doing other things now | 08:17 |
| delhivery | DJones, and yet? | 08:17 |
| qubits | .. | 08:17 |
| DJones | delhivery: I wouldn't like to say, its not something I'd take a risk on | 08:18 |
| delhivery | DJones, or if I could upgrade to quantal as a crazy alpha now | 08:18 |
| delhivery | DJones, its an experiemental installation.. I think I can risk breaking one system out of hunder | 08:18 |
| delhivery | hundreds* | 08:18 |
| DJones | delhivery: If you're prepared to take the risk, give it a try | 08:19 |
| delhivery | DJones, right... so how do I go about adding it? | 08:19 |
| AdvoWork | if i have 2 folders on 2 different ubuntu machines, is there a way I can compare the contents within them? ie theres 10000's of files in there, all .jpegs for example, i need to see if they match? | 08:22 |
| DJones | delhivery: There should be instructions on how to add the ppa on the launchpad site | 08:23 |
| fidel | AdvoWork: in case you want to sync them ..rsync might be an option | 08:24 |
| c3l | AdvoWork: one idea would be to use rsync and "pretending" (-n swich, means do not actually do anything) to copy one of the folders to the other. rsync checks for changes before syncing, and if diffs are found you can print out with the verbose swich | 08:26 |
| c3l | also, this is a rather nice script http://www.sanitarium.net/unix_stuff/Kevin%27s%20Rsync%20Backups/diff_backup.pl.txt | 08:27 |
| AdvoWork | fidel, basically i'm mounting a folder to another location on a shared server so just want to make sure they contain all files | 08:27 |
| fidel | AdvoWork: see c3l's comment | 08:28 |
| fidel | rsync can be used to compare as well | 08:28 |
| c3l | AdvoWork: but if you are new to rsync and dont want to bother with it, you can have a look at the script I linked. | 08:29 |
| fidel | AdvoWork: using 'diff' in cli might work as well | 08:30 |
| c3l | diff | 08:31 |
| c3l | uuh | 08:31 |
| felhasznalo | hi | 08:32 |
| c3l | ooh, diff can compare directories with the -r swich! | 08:32 |
| fidel | ;) | 08:33 |
| c3l | I think that is the easiest way for you AdvoWork | 08:33 |
| fidel | AdvoWork: let us know what method you have choosen at the end ;) | 08:34 |
| AdvoWork | c3l, fidel cheers for the advice/scripts etc, i will try them shortly | 08:37 |
| delhivery_ | DJones, there are no instructions on adding a ppa for an older ubuntu release to a newer release | 08:39 |
| fidel | delhivery_: using i.e. 10.04 ppa on 12.04 is not a thing you should do anyways (ignome me if i misinterpreted you) | 08:41 |
| delhivery_ | fidel, what if I insist? | 08:41 |
| delhivery_ | fidel, i know it will break things, but I really want to use the ppa | 08:42 |
| fidel | happy testing/debugging | 08:42 |
| fidel | then give it a try - but dont expect big support inhere afterwards ;) | 08:42 |
| ikonia | a brave stance | 08:42 |
| delhivery_ | I'd be testing happily if I could figure out a way to do this in the first place | 08:42 |
| delhivery_ | ikonia, I'm running a couple of lfs and gentoo systems, I think I'd be sane enough if i could figure out how to do what I want to do | 08:43 |
| === mrmist is now known as groupcat | ||
| ikonia | delhivery_: I'm not sure how gentoo or LFS has any relevance to managing the stability of a PPA on an ubuntu system | 08:43 |
| delhivery_ | ikonia, i.e. if everything breaks.. I can resort to going back to resorting to source based installs | 08:44 |
| delhivery_ | I dont care about the stability of the ppa, i just want to be able to use it as an experiment | 08:44 |
| _farmer_ | Hello, I am trying to install a .deb package on ubuntu 12.04. First of all i had problems with "Version number does not start with digit" which i resolved by downgrading the dpkg version to 1.15.8.4ubuntu1. After this when i issue the dpkg -i command after some while I get an error saying: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive, dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe). | 08:47 |

| ubottu | Gosset_Inofensiu: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

| fidel | ndxtg: gdm is a login manager - fluxbox isnt afaik | 10:49 |
| Genesis | narayana, sorry im kinda noob to ubuntu | 10:49 |
| narayana | Genesis: google "ubuntu server scsi drivers" - some have the same problem with ubuntu not detecting it | 10:50 |
| fidel | fluxbox is a pretty old looking but most likely light desktop environment (not sure if that termi is 100% correct) | 10:50 |
| narayana | Genesis: try this driver if its listed http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100702173336AAgLku8 | 10:50 |
| ndxtg | fidel: thanks, so I must install both in order to make fluxbox works, is that correct? | 10:50 |
| fidel | _farmer_: but poco-lib packages exists - so you mentioned the wrong package name most likely in the first place | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | that is the trick | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | i try to write apt-get install libpoconetssl9 | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | as specified here | 10:51 |
| fidel | search for libpoco* | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libpoconetssl9 | 10:51 |
| fidel | at least i think so | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | and i just get back an error | 10:51 |
| _farmer_ | there is no | 10:51 |
| narayana | Genesis: try live booting into some other distro if its possible. It might help pinpoint the issue | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | !find poco | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Found: libpoco-dev, libpoco-doc, libpococrypto9, libpococrypto9-dbg, libpocodata9, libpocodata9-dbg, libpocofoundation9, libpocofoundation9-dbg, libpocomysql9, libpocomysql9-dbg (and 14 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=poco&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all | 10:52 |

| Fudge | hi having trouble mounting a ufs2 memstick, any tips? | 10:53 |
| MonkeyDust | _farmer_ yes, if the package name is typed correctly | 10:53 |
| fidel | _farmer_: if a package is listed on the ubuntu website for your distri as available - you can for sure install it on that specific distri-version | 10:53 |
| Genesis | narayana, i have a live cd. i can boot it . | 10:53 |
| _farmer_ | it is fuckin typed correctly, i copy pasted it :D | 10:53 |
| Genesis | narayana, i can try whatever you tell me to do xD | 10:54 |
| Macready | type sudo in front | 10:54 |

| chu | _farmer_, Please watch your language in this channel, thank you. | 10:54 |
| _farmer_ | chu: np | 10:54 |
| _farmer_ | chu: but i got advised to watch out the name of the package five times | 10:54 |
| fidel | _farmer_: are you used to apt? | 10:54 |
| _farmer_ | nope | 10:55 |
| _farmer_ | but it worked fine till now | 10:55 |
| fidel | then that is error 1 - dont try to use a package manangent if you dont understand at least the basics of it | 10:55 |
| ok_ | dude just $apt-cache search ^searchTerm if ur unsure | 10:55 |
| fidel | _farmer_: a good approach is to check if your sources is up to date - then maybe checking what version of desired package is available in your defined sources (using the policy option) and then install that desired package | 10:56 |
| Genesis | narayana, tried searching on google nothing pops out :( | 10:56 |
| fidel | apt isnt that hard and it makes sense to spend some minutes trying to udnerstand it | 10:56 |
| ok_ | ^^ | 10:57 |
| ok_ | what fidel said - big time | 10:57 |
| _farmer_ | ok, i will do that | 10:57 |
| fidel | otherwise you'll come back here repeatly and ask question s most inhere will not even understand in the first moment ;) | 10:57 |

| narayana | Genesis: look for others with the same problems, and their fixes. Might not be for the same version of ubuntu server | 10:57 |
| fidel | _farmer_: understanding > tips from random strangers | 10:58 |
| fidel | those tips in irc might even be wrong or dangerous - so be careful with tips you dont udnerstand at least partly | 10:58 |
| _farmer_ | yes, true, but now i dont have the time to understand, i just need to test something out quickly | 10:58 |
| LjL | _farmer_: it's possible you don't have Universe (the repository where the package is) enabled for some reason. anyway, i'd start with "apt-cache policy libpoconetssl9" | 10:58 |
| Genesis | narayana, i tried on google with my version of LSI and still nothing it looks like no one usues it anymore :( | 10:58 |
| _farmer_ | so i wanted to save time | 10:58 |
| Genesis | narayana, but i have a live cd | 10:59 |
| ok_ | farmer: you can do ten min reading and fix ur issues when they arise or post somewhere eveytime and waste far more than ten mins waiting for an answer | 10:59 |
| ok_ | everytime | 10:59 |
| fidel | _farmer_: using a debian based distri foces you basically to understand the apt-basics | 10:59 |
| fidel | if you want ever save time ;) | 10:59 |
| _farmer_ | ok, the apt-cache returns all nones | 10:59 |
| LjL | _farmer_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please | 11:00 |
| _farmer_ | and yes you are right with the advices :) | 11:00 |
| ok_ | then it isn't available from ur list of sources | 11:00 |
| narayana | Genesis: try the live cd then | 11:01 |
| LjL | fidel, ok_: maybe you should cut them some slack. after all the command they used *should* work, it works on my install, and if Universe is not enabled or whatever else is the problem, well, it *ought to* be enabled by default | 11:01 |
| _farmer_ | LjL: http://pastebin.com/FdyyDPZi | 11:01 |

| Genesis | narayana, and then? i still dont know what to do xD | 11:01 |
| Tm_T | ikonia: AFAIK it is | 11:02 |

| LjL | ikonia: yes, since a few releases | 11:02 |
| blarf_ | hi, if i want to use the open ati and nvidia driver with 3d support, do i need to do anything, like install something or change some config? | 11:02 |
| fidel | that was a general hint - not pointing to a cmd hint in the actual context | 11:02 |
| Genesis | narayana, brb 2 mins | 11:03 |
| narayana | Genesis: there are two ways of dealing with your problem | 11:03 |
| LjL | _farmer_: uhm, did you modify your sources.list? because that doesn't look very much like a standard Ubuntu one. Universe is commented out (so it won't work), but also, there are no [commented out] entries for updating Universe | 11:03 |
| ok_ | ljl: the user was asking specifically for a "quick fix" | 11:03 |
| narayana | Genesis: 1: manually installing your drivers | 11:03 |
| _farmer_ | LjL: no, i did not modify, this is the form in which i got it | 11:03 |
| narayana | Genesis: or 2: installing a server that detects the drivers themselves | 11:04 |
| _farmer_ | LjL: shall i uncomment the first line in the sources.list? | 11:04 |
| LjL | _farmer_: yes, but you should probably also add a couple other lines. moment | 11:04 |

| xmint9 | what is the newest version of kernel right now..? | 11:19 |
| LjL | _farmer_: (which you shouldn't be) but anyway - try running apt-get update again and paying attention to any errors that it might give, maybe pastebin the whole output | 11:19 |
| xmint9 | 3.4 or else..? | 11:19 |
| MonkeyDust | xmint9 3.2 here | 11:20 |
| _farmer_ | LjL: why should not i be a farmer :D ok, i think i got it rollin, thanks for your help and patience | 11:20 |
| xmint9 | MonkeyDust: mine 3.4 ... | 11:20 |
| xmint9 | :D | 11:20 |
| LjL | xmint9: then you are either not on Ubuntu or you are on an unsupported version of Ubuntu, unless you installed your own kernel | 11:21 |
| xmint9 | ok thanks.. MonkeyDust | 11:21 |
| Muelli | xmint9: you can check kernel.org or packages.ubuntu.com. | 11:21 |
| Muelli | websites that are. | 11:21 |
| xmint9 | yes i install it on my own | 11:21 |

| LjL | oh well. | 11:21 |
| nyuszika7h | *foreveralone in #ubuntu+1* | 11:21 |
| mogaj | ikonia: what should i do now to rectify it? | 11:21 |
| Muelli | hm. dunno it that'll work out xmint9. I don't know whether Debian ships i.e. apparmor which Ubuntu uses. | 11:22 |
| ikonia | you'll probably have to do a force remove as that package's remove group doesn't seem to like the "admin" group | 11:22 |
| xmint9 | but i still wann upgrade it more onto 3.6 or 4.0 if its exist.. | 11:22 |
| xmint9 | probably | 11:22 |
| ikonia | mogaj: I'd look at where that package came from also | 11:22 |
| LjL | xmint9: start thinking about keeping things stable instead of doing horribly hacky things like installing Debian kernels on Ubuntu | 11:23 |
| xmint9 | Muelli: thanks. i'll check those address.. | 11:23 |

| xfxchilde | I'm trying out MAAS the first time :) | 11:25 |
| xmint9 | LjL: ok, thanks for the advice, but my 3.4 kernel still stable by the way | 11:25 |
| xmint9 | some friends also recomended me to upgrade it more, so i just wanna try it out | 11:26 |
| ome | is there a way to sacrifice the Splash screen for a faster boot time ? | 11:29 |

| xmint9 | check this out, guys... http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 11:30 |
| _farmer_ | Ok, I have only one more question, and then i will stop nagging :) I managed to get the apt-get working. But when i want to install the .deb it whines that it depends on libv8-2.0.3 (>= 2.0.3). However i have libv8-3.7.12.22 installed which should be higher than 2.0.3 what means it should be ok. Why does dpkg not detect this? | 11:30 |
| xmint9 | update your kernel.. for faster system.. :) | 11:31 |
| LjL | xmint9: please don't recommend that to people here | 11:31 |
| DJones | !wfm | xmint9 | 11:31 |
| ubottu | xmint9: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 11:31 |
| nyuszika7h | ome: I'm not sure about the exact file location with grub2, but look for "quiet splash" in /boot/grub/grub.cfg or similiar and remove "splash". | 11:31 |
| quixotedon | alaska2012 | 11:31 |
| LjL | xmint9: you're free to do what you want on your system despite recommendations, but don't contribute to messing up other people's systems | 11:31 |
| === Rez is now known as LoRez | ||
| nyuszika7h | I'm not sure does that reduce the boot time though; the splash screen should normally only be present until the desktop is ready. | 11:32 |
| LjL | _farmer_: that's not the way it works. a package has a "name" and a "version". in that case, the package *name* is "libv8-2.0.3" (it includes the version in the name) so it won't be recognized as simply a different version of the same package. | 11:32 |
| xmint9 | hmmm, ok i'm sorry LjL .. | 11:32 |
| _farmer_ | LjL: the ... :D, aaaah so, if libv8-2.0.3 is available only for lucid, does that mean i am done for? | 11:34 |
| nyuszika7h | If you want a more user-friendly way, install Startup Manager (possibly from the Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic or apt-get/aptitude), and disable the splash screen from there. | 11:34 |
| SmashLink | hey guys, does somebody know about any PTPd tutorial/manual? | 11:34 |
| LjL | _farmer_: yes, you can't install the package unless you manually install libv8-2.0.3 first (but then that might require other stuff, etc etc - and also may conflict with stuff you have) | 11:34 |

| mikkel | i'm trying to boot archlinux. I'm positive my system supports it, as i've done it once | 11:57 |
| {g} | DJones: so i boot into my ubuntu 12 partition and do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? | 11:57 |
| noiro | mikkel, how do you have it installed on the USB? Are you using the Windows YUMI application? | 11:58 |
| LjL | {g}: for instance, if you want KDE | 11:58 |
| LjL | !notunity | {g} or this | 11:58 |
| ubottu | {g} or this: 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 | 11:58 |
| c3f59 | livingdaylight, not completely sure about this, but i read that skype in the canonical repository is a version 2.12, so i guess you are better off downloading from skype directly | 11:58 |
| DJones | {g}: Yes, and then select it at the boot screen | 11:58 |
| mikkel | i used unetbootin | 11:58 |
| noiro | and I wish you the best of luck with archlinux man. THat thing will eat a ton of your free time. | 11:58 |
| a5m0 | yes skype in software store is very outdated, you need to download from skype site | 11:58 |
| mogaj | mikkel : then only reason i think for usb not showing in bios is it is broke(usb might be corrupted) | 11:58 |
| fidel | {g}: question is answered already right? | 11:58 |

| livingdaylight | c3f59, don't know why ubuntu wouldn't have the latest version, but, I know sometimes they don't for whatever reason, which is why I'm asking/confirming, because I also know its usually best to get official and tested from software repos | 11:59 |
| livingdaylight | c3f59, but, thanks | 11:59 |
| c3f59 | well you know how it is, canonical is people, and people sometimes decide things you don't understand. | 12:00 |
| SmashLink | where can I find a manual about the Precision Time Protocol daemon? I've been searching but couldn't find any. | 12:00 |
| mikkel | well my USB does show up in my OS. In BIOS it doesn't even show other disks to boot e.g. CD,HDD etc. | 12:00 |
| c3f59 | but i'm sure they have a good reason for it | 12:00 |
| mikkel | it only shows my current OS | 12:00 |
| a5m0 | livingdaylight, yes skype in software store is very outdated, you need to download from skype site | 12:00 |
| bonno | hello anyone knows the diference between "hibernate" and "suspend" / when i hibernate i get a grub menu each time i start the computer..which means than i can boot from another OS (i have dual boot) | 12:00 |
| Genesis | I tried installing ubuntu server on my IBM eServer xSeries 365 with 2 x SCSI Hot-swap disks. And the installer stops on the discovering disk part.And prints me the list of available drivers. I tried searching on google and there's no one that has the similar problem to me.Althoguh i have a live cd so i can acces the terminal.If this is hardware issue like those drives deosnt work how can i check it? What should i do? | 12:01 |
| a5m0 | bonno, suspend usually keeps stuff in memory, hibernate dumps everything to disc | 12:01 |
| LjL | bonno: "suspend" suspends to RAM, needs motherboard support, and involves your motherboard giving a "trickle current" to your RAM to keep the data in it. "hibernate" moves everything to the HDD and shuts the computer off | 12:01 |
| a5m0 | Genesis, get the correct driver and load it | 12:01 |
| Genesis | a4m0, how do i know what driver is correct? | 12:02 |
| {g} | fidel: well, answered.. i have some options to try: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, try to get debian testing running, try mint. | 12:02 |
| bonno | so if i hibernate i can shut my computer off without losing data? | 12:02 |
| Genesis | a5m0, how do i know what driver is correct? | 12:02 |
| fidel | {g}: i was asking regarding the 'how to get something else then unity" question | 12:02 |
| LjL | bonno: you should always save your data first, suspend and hibernate are not entirely foolproof | 12:02 |
| fidel | and i assume you got the answer - so have fun testing gnome3, xfce etc | 12:03 |
| bonno | i mean after hibernation can i press the UPS button ....oh ok.. :) thanks | 12:03 |
| LjL | bonno: yes you can | 12:03 |
| bonno | in windows the equivalent option is actually suspend or hibernation? (last question) | 12:04 |
| a5m0 | Genesis, find out the controller model and search the oem site or google | 12:04 |
| bienestar | talquen | 12:04 |
| LjL | bonno: in Windows, i believe "suspend" is called "Standby", and "hibernate" is called, uh, either "Suspend" or "Hibernate", don't remember | 12:04 |
| Genesis | a5m0, i did and nothing :( | 12:04 |

| pawan | yes | 12:26 |

However today, when I booted, I didn't see the login screen but a "terminal" login, where I was prompted for my username and password in a terminal... I tried to do some tricks(...) there, but nothing. I rebooted to win7, found something about gdm (I think it was). So I reboote | 12:59 |

| ganster | hi all | 13:02 |
| L3top | colegatron: one is open source/free and one is closed source/proprietary. IT was sun java, then oracle bought it... and yanked the license so it had to be removed from the repositories. | 13:03 |

| Chelsea__ | fidel, yes but the files are opened in a different instance of the application. That is not my intention. | 13:37 |
| L3top | define "max across" austin | 13:38 |
| fidel | so you have basically an bug-report for vimdiff right? | 13:38 |
| fidel | Chelsea__: locate the software-issue-tracker and report it ;) | 13:38 |
| Chelsea__ | fidel, no, i think it should be handled by nautilus. Nautilus shouls be able to ope an application using "open-with" with multiple files as arguments, right? | 13:39 |

| sunz | my usb mouse stops working after waking the system from standby.. what can i do about it? | 17:44 |
| Jordan_U | sunz: Does it start working again if you unplug it then plug it back in? | 17:45 |
| sunz | Jordan_U, nope, only rebooting helps so far | 17:46 |
| Jordan_U | sunz: Do you also have a USB keyboard? | 17:47 |
| livingdaylight | Hi, there used to be a button that put application in the background, minimize agues, and thus revealing/making available the Desktop. Used to be in one of the corners. Do we still have this functionality in Ubuntu? | 17:47 |
| sunz | Jordan_U, no its a laptom i am using, a thinkpad | 17:47 |
| sunz | *laptop | 17:47 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: top left | 17:47 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, that is the Dash button only | 17:48 |
| Jordan_U | sunz: I'm wondering if it's the entire USB controller which is failing, rather than just your USB mouse. Do you have a USB drive that you can test with (try connecting the USB drive while the mouse is *not* working and see if it's detecte)? | 17:48 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, I'm in Unity btw. Are you thinking ubuntu classic? | 17:48 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: top left of the window | 17:48 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: if it is maximised then put the cursor on the top bar, still top left | 17:49 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, are you pointing to the minimize button in an application? because I'm referring to a button that used to be part of gnome. So, that if one has several apps on one workspace one doesn't have to minimize all of them | 17:49 |
| sunz | Jordan_U, good idea, i will test it when it fails again, btw it does not fail after _every_ standby, it just sometimes works and sometimes not | 17:49 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, thx, I know about minimizing. I'm asking for what used to be another way of doing it | 17:50 |

| thirdender | centooos: what are you making SWF files for? (lol, be specific, don't just say "webpage") what's your reason? | 18:27 |
| Jordan_U | john__1: So I guess the answer is "no". | 18:27 |
| bekks | john__1: Technically, it is possible. But having numerous RFC regarding TCP/IP and the weight of routes it is irrelevant by default when the TCPIP stack is implemented according to those RFC on the host OS. | 18:28 |
| centooos | thirdender, i make swf file to advertise. i make CDs and sell ppl :). i before use adobe flash pro at win! | 18:29 |
| john__1 | i see, for exemple is basic little software like eggies bot, you can in the config specify witch ip to use for machine who run multiple ip, i was just curious to know if xchat is able to do the same | 18:30 |
| Pici | john__1: You might want to try asking in #xchat if you can't get an answer here. | 18:31 |
| john__1 | ok thanks | 18:31 |

| crazySDman | ok_: the logical volume manager? I thought of doing that for a full disk encryption setup, but I have definitively decided to use this live boot method | 19:04 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, dude why do you want to boot the live version, you want an install so you can make changes and install ur wireless drivers etc | 19:05 |
| crazySDman | wols: Here is the output of mount that I think pertains to the SD card and whether I can write to it from the live boot or not: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1088524/ | 19:05 |

| === sebsebseb is now known as sebsebsebb | ||
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: so every single time you boot you'll have to reinstall what you need (including drivers) | 19:07 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, thats all well and good and all but i dont think ur guna get ur wireless drivers in there | 19:07 |
| === dog-killer is now known as yap-resistant-so | ||
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: Right. So the drivers, for example, would be on the burned-.iso SD card, and the programs on the encrypted internal drive with a script to install them all into RAM | 19:08 |
| WheatThins | You can put the drivers on the live cd itself | 19:08 |

| crazySDman | WheatThins: yes, that's what I'm tryign to do. I can't figure out, though, how to write to the SD card once I've live booted from it. it doesn't show up in 'sudo nautilus' though it shows as mounted in disk utility and this 'mount' output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1088524/ | 19:09 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: never sudo graphical apps | 19:09 |
| ThinkT510 | !gksudo | crazySDman | 19:09 |
| ubottu | crazySDman: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:09 |

| lian1 | what is the difference between the English version and the Chinese version of 12.04 desktop iso from the official website?Tthe later should have more packages such as language and ime packs. but its size is smaller. | 19:12 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: I am in a bit of a hurry at a moment, though, and am wondering if I can just drop the driver into the SD card somewhere... | 19:12 |
| Marzipan | hey, i m trying to set up openbox, but i dont really know how ubuntu handles to open and close command in the menus could somebody tell me _ | 19:12 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: no, you have a live system, everything is reset at boot, nothing is kept | 19:13 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: hence why me and ok_ suggest a proper install (persistant) | 19:13 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: well, I'd reboot after dropping teh driver onto the SD card | 19:13 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: and when you boot again everything will be back to square one | 19:14 |
| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: But I think the (post-driver-drop) live boot would install a system into RAM that already had that wireless driver, see? | 19:14 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: no, i don't see | 19:15 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: because the driver would be in the .iso | 19:15 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: well, not the .iso, but the "burned" .iso | 19:15 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, even if you create a custom live image ur still not ever going to be able to add anything to it | 19:15 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, you'll have to go through the whole process everytime you want a new install of anything | 19:16 |
| gwjvan | . | 19:16 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, also I found my note and i've written that i based everything on http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/10/how-to-install-ubuntu-11-04-on-an-encrypted-lvm-file-system/ but obv thats lvm encryption of an install | 19:16 |
| Marzipan | well, i figured it out... i just typed in an absolute path but it says i got no right todo so... any ideas were to look at in this case | 19:16 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, i used them for 12.04 tho | 19:17 |
| Lunar_Lander | hello, I switched my PC to suspend this afternoon and it was running when I came home and syslog says it turned on at 8:52 pm and I came home just afer 9, any idea why ubuntu could start on its own? | 19:17 |
| Lunar_Lander | I had to enter my PW though, just as normal when you wake the PC | 19:18 |
| crazySDman | ok_: Thanks for that page. I saved it to my thumbdrive in case I do decide to go back to an alternate install full disk encryption thingie | 19:18 |
| jrdnn | Lunar_Lander: Check your BIOS settings for automatic wakeupe | 19:18 |
| Lunar_Lander | yea | 19:18 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, nw, it worked great for me | 19:18 |
| Lunar_Lander | didn't have that yet, i mean I left it like whole afternoons and it was off when I came home | 19:18 |
| ThinkT510 | Lunar_Lander: somebody else turned it on? | 19:19 |
| crazySDman | ok_: I do want to go through the whole process each and every live boot (because I am crazyS...) I am just thinking if the Broadcom driver existed on the SD card in the same place all the other drivers are, the live boot process would install it into RAM each and every time, see? | 19:19 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest1097 | ||
| ok_ | crazySDman, oh and if you do do that way NB i dont get the splash screen eveytime and a prompt for my encryption pw, its there just not displayed, just wait a few secs then enter pw and eventually ur login screen for ubuntu will arrive | 19:20 |
| Lunar_Lander | ThinkT510, it is not that probable, but not impossible. maybe someone bumped the keyboard, I'll ask | 19:20 |
| crazySDman | ok_: noted, things. LVM seems the way to do a full disk encryption since there'd be only one passphrase | 19:20 |

| crazySDman | ok_: My understanding is that there a lot of ways full disk encryption can go wrong. Hence this crazySD live boot scheme | 19:22 |

| === me is now known as Guest18897 | ||
| Guest18897 | does anyone have experience with Zimbra Desktop | 19:23 |
| crazySDman | ok_: By "find it" I mean find the SD card to write stuff to it. | 19:23 |
| Lunar_Lander | ThinkT510, seems to be unlikely that someone has been here | 19:24 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, sorry what are you trying to do here, i dont think i read all of what peple were telling you to do | 19:24 |
| Marzipan | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions The User Private Group scheme. In other words, this page does the nuts and bolts ok, but we need to describe what the permissions should be. The default Ubuntu set up is not agnostic: Every user has their default private group.

| Lunar_Lander | can it be that I run the PC like every day without shutdown but just put it to hibernate? | 19:24 |
| Lunar_Lander | I think the uptime is several days now | 19:24 |
| crazySDman | oh, /media/cdrom is my SD card! | 19:24 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: unless you have a seperate partition to write stuff to anything you put on that sd card will be gone next boot | 19:25 |
| hword-1 | Just got here. What did I miss out on? | 19:25 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | how can I make a folder in desktop act/pretend as a cdrom ? | 19:25 |
| Lunar_Lander | yeah I got a uptime of 5 days and 2 hours | 19:25 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: Hrm. Can you explain why that is? Like, if I write something to the thumdrive while livebooted, it still persists. Why wouldnt it be the same for the SD card? | 19:25 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: by "still persists" I mean it exists there on the thumbdrive since it's a distinct storage medium | 19:26 |
| guntbert | Lunar_Lander: thats nothing special AND totally off topic :) | 19:26 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, have you done that with an install of something or just a file? | 19:26 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: and the thumbdrive is where you are livebooting from? | 19:26 |
| Lunar_Lander | guntbert, I was relating to the thing that my PC turned on on its own | 19:26 |
| crazySDman | ok_: Not sure what you're asking | 19:27 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, like was it just a text file in a dir somewhere you tested with | 19:27 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: I'm livebooting into RAM off the SD card (which is /media/cdrom ) and storing stuff (for now) on a thumbdrive | 19:28 |
| crazySDman | ok_: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking... I'm about to put a test.txt onto the SD card and live boot again and see if it's still there | 19:28 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: theres your answer, the thumbdrive is a seperate storage medium | 19:28 |
| ok_ | id try apt-getting anything as well while ur there | 19:28 |
| zetter | hello, i | 19:29 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: but why isn't the SD card a separate storage medium? Is it still constantly in use while I've livebooted | 19:29 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: I am thinking if I ripped the SD card out the livebooted system would still be running since it's all in RAM | 19:29 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: if you are livebooting from it then it is considered / | 19:29 |
| zetter | heello, how do i disable the display keyboard that pops up whenever i can write text like now | 19:30 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: Ah. So if I were to rip the SD card out physically, then the whole operating system would vanish, similar to hard power off ? | 19:30 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: not quite, it would likely just freeze | 19:30 |
| cc11rocks | Does anyone know whether GRUB 2.00 will be included in 12.10? | 19:30 |

| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: you are meant to unmount any removable media before "ripping it out" | 19:32 |
| ok_ | ThinkT510, it wouldnt let you unmount the system disk | 19:32 |
| crazySDman | ThinkT510: Okay, what you are saying is starting to make more sense. But what if I were to use another machine to write the Broadcom driver onto the SD card, then live boot another time with the SD card? | 19:32 |
| ThinkT510 | ok_: my point exactly, because he booted from it | 19:33 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: you don't seem to have grasped the concept of what a live system is | 19:33 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: you cannot save any changes to a live system period | 19:34 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, i think thinkt510 is right | 19:34 |
| crazySDman | one second, brb | 19:34 |
| cc11rocks | ThinkT510 : Not true. There is such a think as "persistence"... | 19:34 |

| ok_ | crazySDman, on the first point and bang on with the 2nd | 19:34 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks again ThinkT510 maybe it was just a bug | 19:34 |
| ok_ | cc11rocks, not on a live image tho | 19:34 |
| ThinkT510 | crazySDman: hence why me and ok_ have told you to either remaster or go with a persistant install | 19:34 |
| zetter | o | 19:35 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, if you want to go the live route i'd recomend you have a "mother" install somewhere that you can make changes to and then create live versions of it | 19:35 |
| ThinkT510 | Lunar_Lander: no worries, sorry i couldn't be more helpful | 19:36 |
| ok_ | crazySDman, "mother"/"master" whatever | 19:36 |

| Tonisius | Anxi80: then you were never in super user mode | 20:23 |
| Tonisius | Anxi80: you were already out of it | 20:24 |
| jeffj84 | where do you enter the workgroup in ubuntu clients | 20:24 |
| OerHeks | Anxi80, not if you ar root, see the chage from # to $ | 20:24 |
| OerHeks | *change | 20:24 |
| Anxi80 | i had to type exit 3 times | 20:24 |
| Anxi80 | first two times printed #exit | 20:24 |
| neberu | i am here m_ | 20:24 |
| Tonisius | OerHeks: if you're root, you're root, if you're a normal user and use SU, then that's super user. Comes down to the definition of Anxi80's meaning of SUper User | 20:24 |
| OerHeks | Anxi80, were you doing a SSH connection ? | 20:25 |
| Anxi80 | tonisius, i am normal user who had used "sudo su" | 20:25 |
| Anxi80 | OerHeks, nope just moving files | 20:25 |
| ThinkT510 | Anxi80: sudo -i is the proper way to open a root terminal | 20:25 |
| Anxi80 | ThinkT510, got it. I guess I have more reading to do :) | 20:26 |
| OerHeks | Anxi80, odd, i would expect 2x exit, once for dropping root priv, and one for exiting terminal. | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | Anxi80: It's best to just run individual commands via sudo, rather than starting a root shell at all. | 20:26 |
| Tonisius | Jordan_U: he will learn not to use sudo su the hard way | 20:26 |
| Anxi80 | Jordan_U you are right but sudo won't let me cd into /root | 20:26 |
| Tonisius | Anxi80: you shouldn't need to go into /root | 20:27 |
| jeffj84 | OerHeks>, yea they are ob theme workgroup | 20:27 |
| Tonisius | that's the whole point... you're not root | 20:27 |
| jeffj84 | on* | 20:27 |
| Anxi80 | Tonissius, I had put VMimages in a folder there. I realized that is a mistake and wanted to take them out | 20:27 |
| Tonisius | Anxi80: learn from your mistakes, fix it, move them out of the /root directory | 20:27 |

| sleepybug | Jordan_U & usr13__ thank you for the help | 21:47 |
| mike_sun | anyone here had a problem like that ? | 21:47 |
| Jordan_U | sleepybug: You're welcome. | 21:47 |
| zixxy | GhostWolf, just search for "system" and it should pop right up. Same name and all. | 21:47 |
| usr13__ | Jordan_U: Tell me you are not trying to create a user named "root" ???? | 21:47 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: Tell me you are not trying to create a user named "root" ???? | 21:48 |
| GhostWolf | zixxy, ok well its normally in system settings i upgraded directly from 11.04 did a fresh install mainly. thats why i was asking | 21:48 |
| NewAmercnClassic | is there any alpha channel? | 21:48 |
| hitter | lol | 21:48 |

| Jordan_U | !root | josvuk | 21:48 |
| ubottu | josvuk: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:48 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: You need to pick another name. | 21:48 |
| zixxy | NewAmercnClassic, #ubuntu+1 | 21:49 |

| usr13__ | josvuk: root user already exists.. | 21:49 |

| gsr | technically couldn't you create a user name root - just make sure you change the name assoicated with uid 0 in passwd and shadow? | 21:51 |
| josvuk | Hm, but I want root to apear in the loginscreen ... | 21:51 |
| usr13__ | gsr: But, why would you? | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | there seems to be an increase of users who want to login as root, these last few days | 21:51 |
| gsr | josvuk: thats a gdm setting I believe | 21:51 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: Why? | 21:51 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: You would never login to it even if it did. Would you? | 21:52 |
| josvuk | for fixing things went wrong :-) | 21:52 |
| gsr | user13__: one reason I can think of is extra security - even if you logged in as "root", you would not have super admin privledges, and if you cant see shadow, you couldnt guess the root username. | 21:52 |
| tcstar | what's wrong with running sudo in the command line? Ubuntu disabled root login for a REASON | 21:52 |
| usr13__ | !sudo | josvuk | 21:52 |
| ubottu | josvuk: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | josvuk: Never run an entire desktop environment as root. | 21:53 |
| usr13__ | gsr: I dono, I don't see the point... | 21:53 |
| tcstar | Running root is just bad form... | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | josvuk: Doing so will break things, while not making it any easier to fix the other things which are broken. | 21:53 |
| MonkeyDust | josvuk with a root DE, you would basically have a windows machine, nobody wants that | 21:54 |
| noiro | anyone know a good application dock I can use in conjuction with openbox or fluxbox that supports multiple workpspaces? | 21:54 |
| === wrapids is now known as wrapids_afk | ||
| usr13__ | !gksudo | josvuk | 21:54 |
| ubottu | josvuk: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:54 |

| jordan_ | I have 2 monitors, how can I send a program to the second monitor besides dragging it over? | 21:56 |
| gsr | josvuk: if you want to set a root password, so you can su into root, do 'sudo passwd', enter your login, and then the new root password twice. | 21:57 |
| tcstar | Jordan, you can't that I'm aware of.. I have to drag my stuff over all the time... | 21:57 |
| gsr | usr13__ if the user was somehow removed from the wheel group | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | !noroot | gsr | 21:57 |
| ubottu | gsr: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 21:57 |
| jordan_ | They are different sizes and it's annoying to find the right spot to drag it plus how it snaps the programs to the side sometimes. | 21:57 |
| usr13__ | gsr: There is no need to do that. | 21:57 |
| josvuk | usr13_: erase you sudoers :-) | 21:57 |
| usr13__ | gsr: And that is bad advise. | 21:58 |
| jordan_ | tcstar, you sure there isn't something? You know how you can right click and send to a different workspace, there isn't a way to send to a different monitor? | 21:58 |
| tcstar | logging in as root, ssh in as root, all horrible horrible ideas... | 21:58 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: YOu are preparing for stuff that will not happen. | 21:58 |
| usr13__ | gsr: And the advise you gave will cause his system to be less secure. | 21:59 |
| tcstar | jordan_: I haven't found a way thus far... | 21:59 |
| usr13__ | josvuk: see my PM | 21:59 |
| tcstar | There is no reason to EVER su or login as root.... Like someone else said, if you want to login as root you may as well be running windows... And if you wanted to be running a security infested machine, you'd already be running windows not linux | 22:00 |
| beandog | :B | 22:01 |
| josvuk | usr13__: I'm perparing for answering ... | 22:01 |
| beandog | That's an exaggeration. | 22:01 |
| beandog | but whatever. | 22:01 |
| sw | tcstar: everything has a reason | 22:01 |
| usr13__ | tcstar: Well, it's ok to use sudo or su Just not setting a password for root. | 22:01 |
| tcstar | usr13__: never said it wasn't okay to use sudo... su root generally requires you to set a root password since (at least in 12.04) it has a default password that needs to be changed in order to su into it.. | 22:02 |
| gsr | usr13__: yes, I've read some of that philosophy - I'm still miffed as to why its true. With sudo you are effectively using the "same" password for root and for your user - meaning that a "wheel" user compromise is equal to a root compromise. | 22:03 |
| squaregoldfish | Ubuntu 12.04, gedit with LaTeX plugin. Every time I save a document, it move the cursor and selects the parent section tag. How can I stop it? | 22:03 |
| beandog | gsr: that's true | 22:04 |
| beandog | strictly speaking, if they have your user password, they have root access. | 22:04 |
| usr13__ | gsr: You mean that a user that is in admin | 22:04 |
| Manianpama | hi | 22:04 |
| bobweaver | hello there can anyone tell me how to do this ? apt-get source ubuntu-wallpaper-{k..p} | 22:04 |
| gsr | usr13__ : yeah, I guess. Back in my day it was called wheel :) | 22:05 |
| usr13__ | gsr: I know, I know. But you just do not understand the way Ubuntu is built. It is best to leave it as it is. | 22:05 |
| beandog | gsr: yah ubuntu uses admin for some (unorthodox) reason | 22:06 |
| wedgie | i've got 'up route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 gw 10.0.0.1' in /etc/network/interfaces under the static config for the interface that has that gateway, but when i restart networking (or reboot the server) the route doesn't appear. Where did i go wrong? | 22:06 |
| beandog | I guess it does make more sense, as a naming scheme. You can still throw yourself in wheel th ough if you want | 22:06 |
| gsr | usr13__: that kind of sounds like a shortcut to thinking | 22:06 |

| Mrokii | Hello. Is it safe to disable "Bluetooth Manager" in Autostart items if my computer doesn't have Bluetooth and I never intend to use it? | 22:07 |
| beandog | gsr: oh wait, they don't even make wheel group | 22:07 |
| beandog | I thought they did for some reason. oh well. | 22:08 |
| gsr | fact is, choosing a complex root password, and using 'su -', is ultimately a more secure system - Ubuntu has dumbed it down for the migrating from windows folk, making it more "idiot proof" than "secure" | 22:08 |
| usr13__ | gsr: It's not. But setting a password for root will not help you. What advantage do you get? | 22:08 |
| usr13__ | tcstar: Can I PM you? | 22:08 |
| gsr | usr13__: if your user password becomes compromised, your system as a whole doesn't | 22:08 |
| beandog | usr13__: actually, real security would be *disabling sudo* and changing the root password. | 22:08 |
| gsr | its kind of the reason root was invented in the first place, methinks | 22:08 |
| WHAT_UP | if someone identifies your password, can't they just sudo -s and do whatever they want? | 22:09 |
| beandog | WHAT_UP: yes | 22:09 |
| bz | yep | 22:09 |
| usr13__ | beandog: Well, you could do that, but is it any more secure? Answer: No | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | usr13__ discussions in#ubuntu-offtopic please | 22:09 |
| WHAT_UP | so how's that not compromised? | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | usr13__ discussions in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 22:09 |
| beandog | usr13__: it's more secure because then you have *two* passwords, not one, and no default root access | 22:09 |

| acemeister | I got the 64 versio nof ubuntu instead of 64 bit...I want to resintall with th 32 bit ver... should I uninstall the 64 bit version first or just install over it? | 23:06 |
| acemeister | how do i uninstall ubuntu in winxp/ | 23:06 |
| graft | acemeister: installing over it will wipe it out anyway | 23:06 |
| acemeister | k good | 23:07 |
| graft | acemeister: is it installed in a VM or something? | 23:07 |
| ok_ | rinzler, id codes are maker:model | 23:07 |
| acemeister | do u reccomend i use wubi or is that th eonly way i ca n dual boot? | 23:07 |
| rinzler | ok_: thanks | 23:07 |
| acemeister | VM? | 23:07 |
| graft | acemeister: virtual machine | 23:07 |
| asmonaut | k the socket part worked, but still can see its own name, cuz none is in apache2.conf | 23:07 |
| kriskropd | faryshta add the "Indicator Plugin" ony our xfce panel | 23:07 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: Did you run it as sudo ? | 23:07 |
| acemeister | its on a desktop | 23:08 |
| usr13__ | or restart as sudo? | 23:08 |
| asmonaut | which leads us back to: local static IP or world static IP? | 23:08 |
| asmonaut | yep sudo with a roar | 23:08 |
| graft | acemeister: oh, you're using wubi? well, then you should delete the old install | 23:08 |
| acemeister | what does wubi do? | 23:08 |
| kriskropd | I've setup FreeNX with Awesome on an Ubuntu Server or some minial GUI-necesary stuff, however I am having trouble with getting asian characters to display; Asian characters display a block with their charmap ID numbers, solution anyone? | 23:08 |
| repozitor | what is the default password in ubuntu 10.10 live? | 23:08 |
| acemeister | why should i use wubi is it worse than bootup from the cd | 23:08 |
| graft | acemeister: wubi installs ubuntu to a disk image (file) on your windows partition | 23:09 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: is it running now? Can you see it? lynx -dump 192.168.0.8 #Should show you "It works" | 23:09 |
| acemeister | is that th eonly way i can dual boot, thisw ay? | 23:09 |
| graft | acemeister: it's just less intrusive than trying to repartition your windows partition | 23:09 |
| kriskropd | repozitor I don't think there should be any password, try leaving it blank | 23:09 |
| acemeister | graft is that th eonly way i can dual boot, thisw way using wubi | 23:09 |

| asmonaut | lynx dump localhost gives me a ¨get adobe player¨ msg, which means site works as localhost (as it does inbrowser) | 23:13 |

| meoblast001 | mdel: on 2 machines? which suspicously happens at the same time i upgrade them to 12.04? | 23:13 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: -dump | 23:13 |
| Erealz | 12-04 is not as stable as 10.4 | 23:13 |
| Erealz | that simple | 23:13 |
| Erealz | i have constant crashes. | 23:14 |
| Erealz | so | 23:14 |
| meoblast001 | same | 23:14 |
| meoblast001 | i've considered switching to Debian | 23:14 |
| asmonaut | lynx -dump 192.168.0.8 hangs.... still hanging... still hanging ... :P | 23:14 |
| meoblast001 | i would have months ago if i didn't hate change so much | 23:14 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, use top or install htop to see what process is bugging you | 23:14 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: lynx -dump localhost #from that machine. lynx -dump 192.168.0.8 #Should also work, and work from other PCs in the LAN | 23:15 |
| Erealz | i like deb alot but it like alot of the ubuntu features so | 23:15 |
| meoblast001 | OerHeks: problem is, when this process does its.... thing... he system becomes unusable quite quickly | 23:15 |
| meoblast001 | so right now, i doubt top would even find the problem | 23:15 |
| meoblast001 | but at a random moment, my hard drive light goes on full and my cursor stops moving | 23:15 |
| titan | they are all the same, only different colors and windows managers :p | 23:15 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: service --status-all #Should show: [ + ] apache2 | 23:16 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, top can identify what causes it, i could say random common problem is ubuntu-one trying to connect | 23:16 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: Does it? | 23:16 |
| repozitor | kriskropd: if i set the password already, yes i can, | 23:16 |
| repozitor | but i didn't set pass yet! | 23:16 |
| graft | acemeister: i mean what ar eyou using the ubuntu system for? just to test it out? | 23:16 |
| meoblast001 | OerHeks: i don't use Ubuntu One, would it be running anyway? | 23:16 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, i thought it is running standard somewere | 23:17 |
| kriskropd | repozitor, the live cd should just take you straight to a desktop,a ssuming you chose that over the "install" route; if it didn't try rebooting the live CD, there IS no user or pass on the ubuntu live CD for 10.10 (as the last link I posted suggested was done for security reasons) | 23:17 |
| meoblast001 | oh, it seems so | 23:18 |
| meoblast001 | OerHeks: is it possible to remove Ubuntu One completely? | 23:18 |
| nrdb | hi... I install 12.04 a few days ago... I need to type a document... LibreOffice isn't doing any spell checking ! .. :( .. I have checked the options and it seems to be setup ok ... but no spelling errors are being found, even deliberate ones.... what is wrong? | 23:19 |
| kriskropd | I've setup FreeNX with Awesome on an Ubuntu Server or some minial GUI-necesary stuff, however I am having trouble with getting asian characters to display; Asian characters display a block with their charmap ID numbers, solution anyone? | 23:19 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, yes, you could remove it from startup. | 23:19 |
| asmonaut | ah i see. well, other puter is windows. 192.168.0.8 in browsers give ¨taking too long -firefox¨/¨could not connect-chrome¨ | 23:19 |
| asmonaut | usr13__, yes, apache + | 23:20 |
| asmonaut | but well, i still duno what to write as ServerName, but im guesing my isp given static ip (router) instead of local static? | 23:22 |
| OerHeks | meoblast001, `u1sdtool -q` will stop the daemon | 23:22 |
| meoblast001 | OerHeks: i just killed ubuntuone-syncdaemon | 23:23 |
| meoblast001 | does that do the same? | 23:23 |
| OerHeks | well, i hope so | 23:23 |
| meoblast001 | okay, i hope this makes things better | 23:23 |
| meoblast001 | thanks | 23:23 |
| repozitor | kriskropd:i left the both filed blank | 23:24 |
| repozitor | but can't login | 23:24 |
| OerHeks | this is one issue. other issue that can solve many slow ubuntu, is disable IPv6 if you have an IPv4 number. | 23:24 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: can you ping it? ping 192.168.0.8 | 23:24 |
| kriskropd | repozitor it shouldnt even show you the fields, no matter what you enter you can never get in through the fields on the live cd, did you try rebooting the live cd? if so, try checkign the integrity of the cd from the boot menu | 23:25 |
| titan | how can you have slow ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| usr13__ | asmonaut: can you ping it? ping -c3 192.168.0.8 Look at ping times... Then ping locahost, ping -c3 localhost | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | !ipv6 | 23:25 |

| asmonaut | isp static IP to router, forwards ...8 to ubuntu, windows on dhcp | 23:28 |

| titan | kriskropd: Try http://bit.ly/LMMWuj | 23:30 |

| BlouBlou | if I'm connected from a wifi without wpa or wep, does it mean that someone could sniff my connection? | 23:34 |
| robert__ | yes none is risky | 23:34 |
| histo | BlouBlou: yes | 23:35 |
| histo | BlouBlou: even with wep or wpa they could sniff your connection | 23:35 |
| robert__ | no you can have wep wap or a nother one dont remeber what it called | 23:35 |
| beandog | wpa? | 23:35 |
| kriskropd | titan i was going to say yes, but not tha ti think about it, i hadn't checked my nx client, it doesn't clearly say; I'll work in that direction next, thanks | 23:36 |
| kriskropd | now that* | 23:36 |
| robert__ | wpa or web i mean | 23:36 |
| BlouBlou | histo: understood, I shall use ssl over my netbook then :P | 23:36 |
| histo | BlouBlou: use ssl and I would set your Access point up for WPa2-psk and use mac address filtering. And don't broadcast your ssid. | 23:37 |
| robert__ | what the differences between web and wpa they have the same try of paaword thing you have to enter | 23:37 |
| histo | BlouBlou: also turn of WPS on your router and you will be a lot safer | 23:37 |
| histo | robert__: wep and wpa are very different | 23:37 |
| beandog | robert__: stronger encryption | 23:37 |
| beandog | basically | 23:37 |
| BlouBlou | robert__: well, if you use wep, and you're connected, someone could get the pass. if you use wpa, you shouldn't use a real word, sine they could use dictionaries | 23:38 |
| BlouBlou | wep is bad | 23:38 |
| BlouBlou | histo: noted, I'll tell it to the network admin, thank you :) | 23:38 |
| robert__ | yes you connect to the the same way with you pass word | 23:38 |
| histo | BlouBlou: With wps enable on the router WPA2 is easily cracked. 80% of routers have this enabled or have the inability to turn it off. | 23:39 |
| histo | robert__: they are still different methods of encryption | 23:39 |
| robert__ | ok | 23:39 |
| robert__ | cool | 23:40 |
| titan | really wouldn't call WEP encryption :) | 23:40 |
| BlouBlou | histo: what's wps then? | 23:40 |
| robert__ | i got wpa looked it up | 23:40 |
| histo | BlouBlou: wifi protected setup I believe it stands for. Its the push a button on your router and connect a device. They made it as an easy way to get connected; however, a flaw was recently found with it. It can be cracked with a program called reaver | 23:41 |
| robert__ | he ust exspland it ones to me | 23:41 |
| CreativeEmbassy | Hey, how do I access the internet if I have both wireless and wired connections? | 23:42 |
| BlouBlou | histo: wow, I'll tell to the admin to turn it off | 23:42 |
| CreativeEmbassy | Wireless = 192.168.1.1, actual internet | 23:42 |
| histo | BlouBlou: robertf to Secure your wifi completely I would install dd-wrt (doesn't support wps) enable wpa2-psk, mac filtering, and disable bssid broadcast. | 23:42 |
| CreativeEmbassy | Wired = crossover cable to another computer | 23:42 |
| CreativeEmbassy | but if I try to ping google, it tried to use the wired connection | 23:43 |
| histo | BlouBlou: some of the routers like mine show that it's disabled but it isn't. You'd have to check with backtrack 5 and reaver | 23:43 |
| CreativeEmbassy | on a mac, I can reprioritize network connections by dragging them up and down. is there some way to do that on ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| titan | typically wired is always preferred for obvious reasons.... | 23:44 |
| bz | CreativeEmbassy: route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth1 | 23:44 |
| bz | CreativeEmbassy: replace eth1 with whatever your winterface actually is | 23:44 |
| BlouBlou | titan: yeah, but we have 6 computers at home, so can't be wired all of then, since there's laptops, notebooks, netbooks... | 23:44 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I'll try that! | 23:45 |
| BlouBlou | there're* | 23:45 |
| titan | right, there are metrics as well on connections | 23:45 |
| titan | to prefer one... set it lower | 23:45 |
| titan | than the others... you can reorder that way | 23:45 |
| === ClientAlive is now known as Guest94029 | ||

| titan | or does it remember that? | 23:46 |
| bz | titan: it's temporary | 23:46 |
| titan | ok | 23:46 |
| titan | Setting the Metric in the network manager will allow your reorder Creative | 23:47 |
| titan | to get it working right away though, bz is right | 23:47 |
| bz | titan: but he never stated a need for permanence, and if he wanted such, i'd need to know his defaults | 23:47 |

| rinzler | anyone know how to disconnect a usb wifi adapter from the host system in order to connect it to a guest VM? | 23:47 |
| titan | assumptions ;p | 23:47 |
| CreativeEmbassy | that worked! thank you! | 23:47 |
| histo | BlouBlou: Wireless is fine as long as you take precautions and don't have some script kiddie hacker living next door. | 23:47 |
| bz | CreativeEmbassy: :> | 23:47 |
| psusi | histo, script kiddie hacker is a contradiction in terms | 23:49 |
| histo | psusi: true | 23:49 |
| BlouBlou | psusi: s/hacker/cracker? :P | 23:49 |
| psusi | script kiddie is already a subtype of cracker, so... no need for the additional qualifier | 23:50 |
| histo | psusi: most people think of skript kiddy as a hacker that's why I put it that way. | 23:50 |
| histo | probably continuining the missuse of the name | 23:51 |
| jrdnn | psusi: No it's someone who double clicks programs made by the latter | 23:51 |
| psusi | jrdnn, that doesn't contradict my statement | 23:52 |
| jrdnn | psusi: Should it? | 23:52 |
| jrdnn | s/made by the latter/made by the latter (not themself)/g there | 23:53 |
| psusi | jrdnn, since you started with the word no, I would expect what follows to contradict what I said | 23:53 |
| rinzler | anyone know how to disconnect a usb wifi adapter from the host system in order to connect it to a guest VM? | 23:54 |
| histo | rinzler: you have to have virtualbox extensions installed and you do it undre the usb settings for the vm | 23:55 |
| histo | rinzler: if you are using virtualbox | 23:55 |
| rinzler | histo: I am. Thanks! | 23:55 |
