| linusBD | good evening | 00:00 |

| linusBD | i1ve got s problem, | 00:00 |
| usr13__ | linusBD: Sure is. | 00:00 |
| husker | Jordan_U, ... Save it and copy it into the same directory as the chan.c file. Mine was is ~/compat*/net/wireless but you can do a search with somthing like the below to find it. ... | 00:00 |
| [snake] | Is there a GTK tutorial for noobz? I know C, I just can't follow the normal tutorial too well. :( | 00:00 |
| linusBD | initiating my system | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | husker: Please link to the full tutorial / guide you're following. | 00:00 |
| usr13__ | linusBD: Say it all on one line so that it doesn't get fragmented.... | 00:01 |
| akr | I had problems with Dash in 12.04LTS so I deleted my user account and created it over, now if I login automatically when I logout it doesn't ask me for the password which it will do, if during the installation of Ubuntu if you pick to login automatically it will do, so how can I login automatically, but when I logout and back in have it ask for the password to log in? | 00:01 |

| linusBD | it goes to grub rescue | 00:01 |
| husker | Jordan_U, Article 8 | 00:01 |
| linusBD | what can i do? | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: Do you have more than one hard drive? | 00:02 |
| Dr_willis | akr, not sure you can. its a lightdm/login manager setting to auto login the user after a set amount of time. | 00:02 |
| linusBD | no | 00:02 |
| beandog | [snake]: wrapping my head around gtk and window placement breaks me | 00:02 |
| Dr_willis | akr, or else im conrused as about what you are asking. | 00:02 |
| linusBD | i have 7 and and ubuntu on my driv | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | !enter | linusBD | 00:03 |
| ubottu | linusBD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | akr, could be theres a seperate setting for that. but i havent looked into lightdm miuch.. and as for your dash/unity issue.. you could have just reset your settings back to defauilt. | 00:03 |
| linusBD | just formatted the ubuntu drive to reinstall | 00:03 |
| linusBD | it do not boot even the windows | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | if you formated the Ubuntu Install.. then the grub data is gone. so you need to reinstall the window boot loader. or reinstall ubuntu and grub linusBD | 00:04 |
| akr | Dr_willis: sorry my bad, I was saying, when you install Ubuntu for the first time and you pick to log in automatically for the user account, then when you log out of an account and want to log back in it will require the password to log in, so as I mentioned I had problems with Dash in Unity and deleted my account now I set it to log in automatically which it does on bootup/reboots, BUT If I log out of Unity the login prompt now doesn't ask for a password | 00:04 |
| === Zyewni is now known as Don | ||
| Jordan_U | linusBD: What do you mean by "formatted the ubuntu drive"? What exactly did you do, and please keep in mind that "drives" and "partitions" are very different things. | 00:05 |
| linusBD | i must get the windows cd again? | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | akr, You made a new user with the same name as the old? | 00:05 |
| === Don is now known as Guest44104 | ||
| Dr_willis | linusBD, theres other ways to reinstall the windows mbr. #windows will know more. | 00:05 |
| linusBD | i had windows in one partition and ubuntu in another, i've formatted the ubuntu partition | 00:06 |
| Dr_willis | akr, you say 'login prompt' you mean the LightDM Login screen? | 00:06 |
| === Guest44104 is now known as Zyewni | ||
| beandog | akr: a command line prompt or a graphical image | 00:06 |
| linusBD | now it doesn't even boot windows | 00:06 |
| akr | Dr_willis: created a test account, loged into that account, deleted the old/problem account, rebooted, logged back into the test account, created the new account, but I used the same username and password, rebooted again then also noticed I could add in a password in the GUI so I did it at the CLI now this problem... | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: By "format" do you mean that you deleted the partition? Or did you create a new filesystem on the partition, or something else? | 00:07 |
| media | hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | linusBD, if you had ubuntu installed, it had grub it was using.. the boot menu. When you removed ubuntu. it removed the configs fo4r grub. but left grub in the MBR. so either fix the MBR to boot just windows. or reinstall ubun tu, or some linux and let it use GRUB again to handle it. | 00:07 |
| linusBD | wiped it out | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | wiped it out.. could mean format.. or delete the partition... | 00:07 |
| linusBD | it's now part of the windows partition | 00:07 |
| beandog | akr: wait, backup ... what do you mean you used the same username and password .... | 00:07 |
| akr | Dr_willis: I'm talking about in Unity when you logout, you are then placed at the login prompt in order to get back in to the desktop.... | 00:07 |
| beandog | akr: oh, creating a new one with the OLD name? | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | linusBD, if you no longer want Ubunt/Linux - then you need to fix the windows boot loader. | 00:08 |
| akr | yes | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: OK. Were you planning to install Ubuntu again, or do you just want Windows? | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | akr, thats the LightDM Login Screen. | 00:08 |
| akr | but I rebooted before making it | 00:08 |
| beandog | akr: okay, um | 00:08 |
| akr | yes the login screen | 00:08 |
| linusBD | i wanna install it again, but i must fix the windows bootloader | 00:08 |
| beandog | akr: sorry I missed part of that .. what's the problem you're having | 00:08 |
| linusBD | do i need the cd? | 00:08 |
| beandog | akr: oh, you probably locked yourself out of root access | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: Just install Ubuntu again. That should fix grub. | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | linusBD, Why? If you need to fix the windows MBR. you need some cd to boot to fix it. | 00:08 |
| akr | beandog: when you install Ubuntu for the first time and you pick to log in automatically for the user account, then when you log out of an account and want to log back in it will require the password to log in, so as I mentioned I had problems with Dash in Unity and deleted my account now I set it to log in automatically which it does on bootup/reboots, BUT If I log out of Unity the login prompt now doesn't ask for a password | 00:08 |
| beandog | linusBD: what happens when you try to boot windows | 00:09 |
| media | hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? | 00:09 |
| beandog | akr: that is mildly confusing. o.O | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis | akr, so it auto-relogs the user back in? | 00:09 |
| beandog | akr: oh I see. | 00:09 |
| linusBD | i does not boot, it goes directly to grub rescue | 00:09 |
| beandog | akr: yah, what he said ... does it auto relogin or just let you login once you put user | 00:09 |
| usr13__ | media: Just go to the video settings, (the GUI menu), and it should be obvious what needs to be done. | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | linusBD, whats the 'prompt' it goes to in this 'grub rescue' ? | 00:10 |
| beandog | linusBD: can you boot into u buntu though? | 00:10 |
| linusBD | just that grub rescue> | 00:10 |
| linusBD | i have no boot by now | 00:10 |
| akr | beandog: Let me say it this way, hehe; 1. Install Ubuntu, 2. Pick for the user account to login automatically during the install, 3. Install over, boot up Ubuntu, 4. Logout and then you are now at the login screen, it will then ask you for a password, 5. After I deleted and recreated my account it will not ask me for a password when I logout and I'm at the login screen, that's the PROBLEM :) | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | linusBD, if you no longer have any linux files/partitions. then you need to either.. reinstall linux/ubuntu to fix grub.. or find some way to reinstall the windows boot loader. | 00:11 |
| beandog | linusBD: so when you boot, ALL you get is grub rescue? | 00:11 |
| psusi | linusBD, if you are going to reinstall Ubuntu, then just do so | 00:11 |
| husker | Jordan_U, can you say me what chan.c? | 00:11 |
| beandog | akr: okay, so part of the problem is that the user you recreated, will still own the files in /home, which is where your configuration resides. | 00:11 |
| * Dr_willis thinks the automatic login setting should be taken out of the installer..... | 00:11 | |
| beandog | akr: so, deleting / recreating users isn't going to help. You need to fix your login preferences. | 00:11 |
| beandog | Dr_willis: eh, I could go either way. It is nice. | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: Re-installing Ubuntu will fix the problem. As you plan to do that anyway, it also seems like the easiest and best way to solve the problem. | 00:12 |
| akr | beandog: I deleted everything as the GUI asked me if I wanted to delete all the files, there was nothing in the HOME all gone | 00:12 |
| linusBD | is there any command on the grub rescue to boot up? | 00:12 |
| beandog | akr: did you delete /home/user or /home/user/* | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis | akr, just deleteing the FILES in the users home - is not the same as deleteing the user.. | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: No. | 00:12 |
| akr | Dr_willis: I know, I used the User Account gui to delete the account and all files | 00:12 |
| linusBD | k thanks | 00:12 |
| beandog | akr: oh okay | 00:12 |
| beandog | now that is weird. | 00:12 |
| psusi | linusBD, just boot the Ubuntu cd and reinstall | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | linusBD: You're welcome. | 00:13 |
| usr13__ | akr: You deleted a user account? How many users did you have at the time? | 00:13 |
| akr | I've played with the User preferences don't use a password and use a password in the User GUI nothing works | 00:13 |
| beandog | I think he was just trying to fix one | 00:13 |
| Terman | Q: I have created a bridge interface in /etc/networking/interfaces. The interfaces works almost as expected. As a last tweak, I need to do an "echo 0 >/sys/path/to/param". How do I do that? It looks there are only pre-up routines but no post-up routines | 00:13 |
| akr | usr13__: I already explained it :) | 00:13 |
| beandog | akr: dunno, you could force reinstall lightdm, but I really DOUBT that'd change anything | 00:13 |
| akr | this appears to be a bug | 00:13 |
| beandog | You need a config file reset, somewhere | 00:13 |
| akr | one sec | 00:14 |
| beandog | Hmm | 00:14 |
| beandog | akr: pastebin /etc/lightdm/users.conf | 00:14 |
| usr13__ | akr: But it is not making sense. If you have only one user, you would not be able to delete that user. I must be confused about what you did. | 00:14 |
| beandog | akr: actually pastebin all three of the conf files in there | 00:14 |
| Zyewni | Hey all, thanks for the help. I'm out | 00:14 |
| beandog | usr13__: he made a temporary user | 00:14 |
| usr13__ | beandog: O | 00:15 |
| beandog | usr13__: original -> temp -> deleted original -> temp -> recreated original -> back to new (original) | 00:15 |
| beandog | yah | 00:15 |
| beandog | don't worry, I'm following him. :) | 00:15 |
| beandog | akr: if your config isn't affiliated with the user account, it's with the display manager | 00:16 |
| akr | beandog: this is the problem the GUI doesn't work like the Install Process does is all I'm saying if you follow me, what I mentioned before... | 00:17 |

| beandog | akr: yah I'm following you. You deleted your user configs, so it's a problem with the DM. Pastebin those files. | 00:17 |
| beandog | akr: nopaste /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 00:18 |
| beandog | etc. | 00:18 |
| usr13__ | beandog: pastebinit .... | 00:18 |
| beandog | or that, I guess | 00:19 |
| usr13__ | akr: pastebinit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf #And show us the resulting URL | 00:19 |

| brent_ | Your saying the osx versions will work under 12.04? | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | jrdnn: Porting to OSX is nowhere close porting to any *NIX, especially with a GUI heavy program. You can't run OSX apps in GNU/Linux. | 00:22 |
| jrdnn | Jordan_U: Aww :( | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | brent_: ^^ | 00:22 |
| brent_ | *snap | 00:22 |

| jgrevich | Is there a reason that I should install two eSATA cards with the same chipsets? | 00:23 |

| katronix | Hi all can anyone recommend a good web based system for 12.04? recently upgraded my dedicated to it and now OpenPanel doesn't work :-( | 00:24 |
| beandog | and it will only use one driver? | 00:24 |
| akr | beandog: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart or log out? | 00:24 |
| jgrevich | either one works by itself, but when both are installed they seem to interfere with each other | 00:24 |
| beandog | akr: first one | 00:24 |
| akr | k | 00:24 |
| jgrevich | beandog: sorry, should should be "should not" | 00:24 |
| beandog | jgrevich: oh, no, no reason. It's a good thing. | 00:24 |
| beandog | I hope he realized that was gonna kill his session ... | 00:25 |
| beandog | oh well, easier to ask for forgiveness and all | 00:25 |
| jgrevich | beandog: any idea why they seem to be conflicting? I have pre-existing mdadm raids that fail (e.g. drives are missing) when both cards are present, but work fine with one card at a time | 00:25 |
| beandog | jgrevich: really. well. hmm. that sucks. | 00:25 |
| katronix | or is it better to just manually edit all of the files? | 00:25 |
| jgrevich | i've been through 4 different esata cards with PM capabilities and have only gotten the si3132 to work reliably | 00:25 |

| media | hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? Plz PM | 00:27 |
| jgrevich | beandog: I need to test the other by itself more, they are both the same chipset (si3132) but of different brands (and firmware versions) | 00:28 |
| beandog | jgrevich: hmm. that is odd. | 00:28 |
| beandog | you would think it'd be the same | 00:28 |

| jgrevich | beandog: i've had one card that's worked great for a long while. I have been meaning to expand the setup. In doing so I've been through 3-4 other types of eSATA cards all that had problems. I finally went back to get the same exact card (chipset at least, couldn't find the same brand) and am still seeing errors. | 00:29 |

| jgrevich | beandog: right. they should be the same. I guess I need to test the other card by itself to make sure it's as stable and functional as the prievious one | 00:29 |
| Generic | Hello Ubuntu users? | 00:29 |
| beandog | jgrevich: okay so it could be a couple of things. How many PCI slots do you have in the box? How many are you using? Are you tweaking the BIOS of these raid cards at all? What do you have your BIOS set to to recognize the onboard SATA as? IDE? AHCI? RAID? | 00:30 |
| jgrevich | then i'll start again with both cards present | 00:30 |
| jgrevich | beandog: there is another pcie slot that I can try with it. I am currently using 2 of the 3or4 avail | 00:30 |
| Ziber | So I've just made a new parition (from within the try-run of the ubuntu installer), and I want to format it with some format so I can install Linux to it. How do I do that again? | 00:30 |
| jgrevich | beandog: no bios tweaking, i'm only using them as controller cards and am using mdadm to handle the raid | 00:31 |
| jgrevich | beandog: bios is set at AHCI | 00:31 |
| beandog | jgrevich: okay. | 00:31 |
| beandog | jgrevich: so they are just SATA cards, not fake RAID SATA cards? | 00:31 |
| jrdnn | Ziber: The Ubuntu installer should ask you which filesystem to format the installation partition with from quite a list of options | 00:31 |

| Generic | ? | 00:32 |
| Generic | Alright got it im ubunty user | 00:32 |
| Ziber | it comes up with a window asking for the device which has boot loader information. the only option in the dropdown menu is /dev/sdb, but there's no information about it. | 00:32 |
| bazhang | Generic, wrong network, let alone channel | 00:32 |
| jgrevich | beandog: I feel like there was some sort of clash that occurred with both drives were present. | 00:32 |
| beandog | jgrevich: this is gonna sound weird, but try different PCI slot configurations ... if they are next to each other, move one one slot to the right ... strangely enough, that really does make a difference on some mobos. | 00:33 |
| beandog | jgrevich: I don't see how the firmware on the cards being different should affect things ... I mean .. hmm. I dunno. | 00:33 |
| Ziber | "no root filesystem is defined." | 00:33 |
| jgrevich | beandog: cool, I'll give that a try. Like I said, I need to do more troubleshooting with the new card by itself to make sure it's as durable as the previous one | 00:33 |

| brent_ | I have a dual boot system and need to mount my windows filesystem to cp a file to my home. Will mounting it cause and issues to my windows installation? | 00:34 |
| jgrevich | beandog: I figure it can't hurt to upgrade them to the latest version, although I'm a bit worried since the card that works best is currently a few versions back | 00:34 |
| beandog | jgrevich: well, you're gonna have to try something, eventually. :T | 00:34 |
| beandog | jgrevich: I would bet on having the same firmware, in both cards. | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | Ziber: 1: I would gnerally recommend letting the installer create partitions rather than doing it manually before hand. It gains you nothing but complexity. 2: If you're going to do manual parititoning then you need to tell the install which partition is going to conatain the root filesystem. You do this by setting its mountpoint as '/'. | 00:34 |
| jgrevich | beandog: one is 7.5.0.7 (9/2008), the other is 7.7.03 (9/2009) | 00:34 |
| beandog | jgrevich: I know this is a shot in the dark as well, but you could check on getting a bios upgrade for your mobo if it has one as well | 00:34 |
| jgrevich | beandog: right, I guess I'll follow the path of least resistance/invasion :) | 00:35 |
| jgrevich | beandog: mono bios is worth a try too, good idea, haven't upgrade it since i built the system 1-2 years back | 00:35 |
| jgrevich | beandog: thanks for the tips! | 00:35 |
| beandog | jgrevich: yah, sorry ... things like that are just finicky sometimes ... I'm going to say with surety that the kernel drivers are probably not the ones that are misbehaving | 00:35 |
| beandog | jgrevich: seriously though, FIRST thing I would do is play the shell game with the PCI slot configuration ..... it does work sometimes | 00:36 |
| jgrevich | beandog: I concur, I have far more faith in ubuntu than all these bios and shotty 3rd party vendors | 00:36 |
| beandog | jgrevich: also go into the BIOS and make sure you're not turning on anything optimized. | 00:36 |
| jgrevich | beandog: I'll give that a try. it takes the least amount of work too | 00:36 |
| jgrevich | beandog: optimized as in? | 00:36 |
| beandog | jgrevich: and while you're in there, disable things like serial port, parallel port, etc. | 00:36 |
| beandog | jgrevich: anything that would mess with the IRQs | 00:36 |
| jgrevich | beandog: good idea, i did not do that | 00:37 |
| beandog | jgrevich: chances are you haven't, but if you're a ricer, you'd know what I meant. :) | 00:37 |
| beandog | jgrevich: you can safely disable stuff you KNOW you are not going to use .... fex, if it's a headless box, go ahead and disable the sound card. The whole point behind that is buggy BIOSes. They generally work better if you're using less features. | 00:37 |
| beandog | Well, in theory. | 00:37 |
| beandog | Don't quote me on that last one. | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis | In theory the theory is theoritically sound. ;) | 00:38 |
| beandog | jgrevich: but yah, at the very least (or most) you'll be completely safe disabling serial and printer ports. | 00:38 |
| beandog | jgrevich: be really careful, of course, if you're going to upgrade mobo bios | 00:38 |
| beandog | good luck :) | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis | Im not even sure if my current desktop box has serial or pararallel ports. ;) | 00:38 |

| jgrevich | beandog: I''m not a ricer, btu I think i know what you mean :) | 00:41 |
| beandog | Dr_willis: http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot | 00:41 |
| Chamunks | hows fglrx and Gnome 3 on percise? | 00:41 |
| Chamunks | i'm thinking of making the switch. | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, fglrx depends on the exact chipset. | 00:41 |
| beandog | I probably shouldn't even flash that URL in here ... | 00:41 |
| Chamunks | is it still horribly glitchy | 00:41 |
| jgrevich | beandog: that makes sense, I never thought of turning such things off in the bios like that | 00:41 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, I'm running dual saphire radeon hd6850's | 00:41 |
| beandog | jgrevich: could help. It won't hurt. | 00:41 |
| genii-around | Dr_willis: They're good to have around to test old external modems, managed switches, etc | 00:41 |
| beandog | jgrevich: just document what you change | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, i have to wonder.. whats the point. :) well with using them on linux at least... | 00:42 |
| beandog | and read the manual on how to reset bios if you need to. :) | 00:42 |
| jgrevich | beandog: mono bios is usually fairly straight forward, it's just usually a pain in the ass to make a boot disk. i used to just use a windows drive to boot from and install it | 00:42 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, with an amd 6core bla bla bla | 00:42 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, its a dual boot machine. | 00:42 |
| jgrevich | beandog: well, I got a plethora of ideas to try. thanks, I appreciate the help | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | genii-around, i had it set up ages ago for a shell over serial port. | 00:42 |
| MakMam | hi | 00:42 |
| beandog | jgrevich: good luck! | 00:43 |
| MakMam | anyone using new 12.10 without unity? | 00:43 |
| jgrevich | beandog: thanks, always in need of it :) | 00:43 |
| bazhang | MakMam, that'd be in #ubuntu+1 not here | 00:43 |
| bretth | been using ubuntu12.04 for 2 days now, X has crashed on me twice. Compare to linuxmint, was using that for 2 weeks, not a single X crash. Same machine. | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | Garr255: Are you able to use the terminal at all? What happens when you run "reset"? | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | bretth: What GPU? | 00:45 |
| Garr255 | <Jordan_U> yes, and when I do a reset it just clears the screen and repeats, with those lines scrolling up again | 00:45 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, so any thoughts or just wanted to say about the picky chipset bit. | 00:45 |
| Garr255 | is there a way to kill to byobu process? | 00:45 |
| Chamunks | How stable do ya think precise is by now? | 00:45 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, i avoide ati at all costs.. ;) | 00:45 |
| Chamunks | i usually try to hold out updating to a new ubuntu until about two or so months after the initial release. | 00:46 |
| beandog | Dr_willis: amen | 00:46 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, i have very few issues with 12.04 on my Nvidia desktop machine. Its about a year old now. so not that cutting edge | 00:46 |
| brent_ | I have ATI card 5770 with three monitors and its been nothing short of a nightmare | 00:46 |
| * beandog finds little sympathy for someone with three monitors | 00:46 | |
| Dr_willis | I got 3 monitors here.. but 2 are in the closet. :) not used.. ;P | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | brent_: Are you using the proprietary drivers? | 00:47 |
| beandog | oh, gotcha | 00:47 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, brent_ beandog I'll tell ya i never usually go for ati the only reason i did this time is my asus crosshair iv mobo boasted support for ati's crossfire. | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | using a 40 Inch TV as my main monitor. | 00:47 |
| IdleOne | Dr_willis: How was that comment helpful? | 00:47 |
| brent_ | haha.. well the pain was worth the setup.. kind of | 00:47 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, well i've spent about 600$ on these cards im pretty stuck with them for at least another couple years. | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, im not sure if crossfire is supported at all in the FGLRX drivers. | 00:48 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, somewhat its not great at all. | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, but i imagine you are not going to be doing any gaming that will need that much power under linux. | 00:48 |
| Chamunks | but the thing is i just want to be able to decypher whats going on in my gnome3 | 00:48 |
| Chamunks | i really want to like unity but ... | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | Chamunks, gnome3 seems to work decently well. if you can get used to it | 00:48 |
| Chamunks | i want to screen record in webm and gtkrecord defaults to some other crap. | 00:48 |
| beandog | Chamunks: ogv? | 00:49 |
| Chamunks | well im currently in a linux mint variant of | 00:49 |
| Chamunks | beandog, ahh well its not crap but i still prefer webm | 00:49 |
| Chamunks | i dont have to transcode it to upload to youtube in webm. | 00:49 |
| beandog | Chamunks: I don't blame you | 00:49 |
| beandog | Chamunks: wait, what? | 00:49 |
| beandog | Chamunks: youtube will transcode it for you | 00:49 |
| brent_ | the CCC barely works for me.. My biggest problem was the fan speed on the card. It was running at 100% with the stock drivers | 00:49 |
| Chamunks | yes but if i upload in webm my videos are supported automatically in html5 | 00:50 |
| beandog | Chamunks: gotcha. | 00:50 |
| Chamunks | where as if its in any other format than webm its stated to not be as such. | 00:50 |
| JasonF | Is there a known issue with accessing ubuntu repositories over IPv6? | 00:50 |
| JasonF | or IPv4? | 00:50 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, well I just hope that the screen output doesnt look like this anymore... Pending link. | 00:50 |
| Canadian1296 | Is there a way to read from another terminal when I'm logged in via ssh. | 00:50 |
| JasonF | I'm getting a bunch of 404s while trying to update. | 00:50 |
| JasonF | I just verified it's only happening over IPv6. | 00:51 |
| Chamunks | brent_, I should bug you about my multi monitor multi card setup :P | 00:52 |
| Chamunks | in an hour or so when i get precise installed. | 00:52 |
| brent_ | yeah let me know.. be prepared for war | 00:52 |
| Chamunks | brent_, oh i know | 00:52 |
| brent_ | :D | 00:52 |
| Chamunks | I've tried about 10 timex already | 00:52 |
| Chamunks | times | 00:52 |
| Chamunks | I've reinstalled my gdm about 4 times per try. | 00:53 |

| Chamunks | blah blah pain and suffering. | 00:53 |
| beandog | Garr255: run reset | 00:53 |
| Garr255 | reset == clear in this case | 00:54 |
| brent_ | Yeah I went back and forth instal / uninstall about 5 versions then one worked. I think it 12.01 ccc | 00:54 |
| beandog | Garr255: no go? | 00:54 |
| Garr255 | still does the same thing | 00:54 |
| trism | Garr255: byobu uses tmux in 12.04 by default I believe | 00:54 |
| Garr255 | yes it does | 00:54 |
| beandog | hmm | 00:54 |
| beandog | Garr255: echo $PS1 | 00:54 |

| Fed44 | is there a way to generalize ubuntu so that you can simply copy an installation to many different machines and have it auto generate things like aptitude machine id, certificates etc? | 00:55 |
| beandog | Garr255: dunno | 00:55 |
| beandog | Fed44: yah it's called imaging a hard drive | 00:56 |

| Garr255 | I think its a tmux error, beandog | 00:56 |
| beandog | IdleOne: wth? I'm not ot | 00:56 |
| Fed44 | Fed44 the cloning is not the issue | 00:56 |
| beandog | oh, just building an image? | 00:56 |

| beandog | heh, ok | 00:57 |
| beandog | I'm leaving soon anyway | 00:57 |
| Fed44 | beandog basically windows has the sysprep util to generalize a system | 00:58 |
| Chamunks | im sorry why am i getting offtopic harrassment again? | 00:58 |
| Chamunks | sometimes i fucking hate this irc channel. | 00:58 |
| bretth | Jordan_U, i have no idea what GPU i have, the point is LinuxMint is not crashing, and i have Fedora installed on this machine and its not crashing. Where is the quality Ubuntu? | 00:58 |

| escott | mikkel, a couple of approaches. (a) put / on the SSD so boot is fast (b) put documents in /home on the SSD so they load faster (c) bcache | 01:03 |

| smithw | Hi, I'm having instability issues with my bluetooth mouse on Ubuntu. I can get it to connect for a few seconds (after I remove and pair the device again), but then it suddenly stops. On the same machine, on windows, it works normally. I have no idea how to debug it since I don't know what to look for on dmesg. Can someone please help? | 01:27 |
| genii-around | taime1: Yes, probably better to go to 12.04 with the 295 stock driver and see if that works.. if the card is even newer you may need the 302.17 version from xorg-edgers | 01:27 |
| escott | crazySDman, im not sure why you would be worried about the cache? | 01:27 |
| crazySDman | escott: I'm hoping to make more RAM available to the live-booted operating system so I can install more stuff into it | 01:28 |
| crazySDman | escott: so can I decrease the cache (or something else) to increase the amount of RAM the live-booted operating system has available? | 01:28 |
| escott | crazySDman, the cache will automatically adjust as memory pressures dictate | 01:28 |
| crazySDman | escott: Hmm. Asides from buying more RAM, what are my options for manipulating the way it responds to memory pressures? | 01:30 |
| escott | crazySDman, there are various tunables for the VM subsystem in /sys, but none of them will create RAM that doesn't exist. your only option to increase usable memory is a swap disk | 01:31 |
| crazySDman | escott: like, on a thumbdrive or a hard drive or an sd card? | 01:31 |

| myhero | kde lxde xfce gnome | 02:01 |

| myhero | openbox and any other gud de\ | 02:01 |
| Logan_ | !flavors | myhero | 02:01 |
| ubottu | myhero: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu | 02:01 |
| mpwd | myhero: For KDE - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde | 02:01 |
| myhero | mpwd: yes... | 02:01 |
| myhero | mpwd: any commands from terminal......like sudo apt-get install kde or xfce | 02:02 |
| mpwd | myhero: For the instructions I gave, you can just use apt-get or aptitude instead of synaptic | 02:03 |

| mpwd | (although the instructions are for v11) | 02:04 |
| unodx | seriously, i understand trying to look like ms but default of nautilus is to hide the hidden files... | 02:04 |

| unodx | trism, default should be to show everything...security 101 | 02:06 |
| myhero | mpwd: ?????? | 02:06 |
| unodx | just like alias for ls should be ls -a | 02:06 |
| mpwd | myhero: Most things are faster than Unity | 02:07 |
| mpwd | And take less memory | 02:07 |
| myhero | mpwd: then why ubuntu comes with unity ass default ? | 02:07 |
| mpwd | Myhero: Well, it has a lot of features that are nice | 02:08 |
| mpwd | Unity is similar to OS X in some respects | 02:08 |
| unodx | mpwd, unity sucks and you know it | 02:08 |
| mpwd | unodx: Yeah, but it's shiny and makes newcomers to the OS feel better about themselves | 02:09 |
| myhero | mpwd: so which de has maximum or enough or much needed features.....and do other de's have less features then unity.....???? | 02:09 |
| unodx | mpwd, it sucks for previous users and we are jumping ship | 02:09 |
| myhero | mpwd: yea i agree unity sucks big time | 02:10 |
| unodx | mpwd, so you never really gained anything except loosing self respect for trying to imitate another os which we used to look down upon | 02:10 |

| mpwd | myhero: I don't understand your question | 02:12 |

| myhero | srry i mean quantal 12.10 alphha-2 | 02:13 |
| unodx | mpwd, yea, i'm not a fan of ubuntu either...i have no loyality, i use whatever gives me the most secure and efficient platform | 02:14 |
| trism | myhero: #ubuntu+1 for quantal | 02:14 |

| DigitalWarrior | I am trying to update the kernel of the Ubuntu 12.04 livecd and things are not nearly as simple for me as I think the documentation says it is. It probably means I have missed something. | 02:36 |
| DigitalWarrior | Does Ubuntu publish the build scripts to create the ISO somewhere I can get at them? | 02:36 |
| DigitalWarrior | I am installing Ubuntu ISO files on /dev/sda1 and using grub2 to boot them. | 02:36 |
| DigitalWarrior | I have no problems with released versions (been doing it since 11.04) | 02:36 |
| DigitalWarrior | however, I need to get new wireless card drivers into the thing. The drivers are included in Compat-Wireless 3.3 | 02:36 |
| DigitalWarrior | I cannot apt-get install the modules in the chrooted enviornment (unlike all of my other custom packages) because the system is not aware opf the funny locations of stuff. | 02:36 |

| W4sp | hdafeasd: Yes, just go ahead. | 02:51 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: hd0 0 is sda1 hd0 1 is sda2 etc... | 02:53 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: sd1,0 is sdb1 etc.. | 02:53 |
| katronix | Hey all, somehow I got rid of InnoDB in my mysql, how do I replace it? | 02:53 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: hd1,0 is sdb1 etc.. | 02:53 |
| usr13__ | typo | 02:53 |
| coreyo | usr13__, I need to reference them by UUID, not by number. On the newer machines, when you insert a USB stick before boot, the usb drive becomes hd0, shifting the previous hd0 to hd1, and so on, then shifting back when you remove the usb drive | 02:54 |
| coreyo | usr13__, this breaks your grub .efi file | 02:55 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: I've never done it that way. | 02:55 |
| coreyo | usr13__, you are probably on a bios-based system | 02:55 |
| usr13__ | yea | 02:55 |
| coreyo | usr13__, got a new laptop today, literally spent 14 hours just trying to get linux to boot. Never even know what a uefi system was or a gpt partition label was until today ... after a lot of googling and tearing my hair out | 02:57 |
| coreyo | usr13__, bios will be dead by the end of the year, with the advent of windows 8, so everyone will have to deal with it very soon | 02:57 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: sudo blkid #Tells you about the drives, so... | 02:57 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: Bios won't be dead. | 02:57 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: Legacy computers are abundant. | 02:58 |
| coreyo | usr13__, yes, I know the uuid of my device, I just don't know how to tell grub to look by UUID rather than number | 02:58 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: I dono either... let me look... | 02:59 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 | 03:00 |
| usr13__ | coreyo: Even better: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID | 03:00 |
| usr13__ | well, I dono if it's better, but... | 03:03 |
| coreyo | usr13__, I've been to all of those pages, but unfortunately I do not see what I need. When you create a portable .efi file with grub-mkimage -p, you have to specify the root "i.e. point to /boot/grub" using an absolute path that can be established at boot. | 03:07 |
| coreyo | usr13__, I can use (hd0,gptX)/boot/grub , but that breaks if I plug in a removable disk before I turn the computer on because of the numbering shift | 03:07 |
| coreyo | so finding a way to replace the () with a UUID would be ideal | 03:08 |
| scranchy | Hi all, loving my new ubuntu install but lost my admin pw. Any easy ways to get it back other than booting into recovery mode? | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | coreyo: Don't bother trying to build a grub.efi manually. Mount your EFI System Parititon to /boot/efi/ and run "sudo grub-install" or for a removable drive (or if you don't want efi variables modified) "sudo grub-install --removable". | 03:10 |
| coreyo | Jordan_U, ahh ... someone with experience! I've been trying similar tactics, but my /efi directory is always empty after a grub-install | 03:15 |
| coreyo | Jordan_U, I installed grub-efi-amd64 and its associated packages, replacing the defaults. Is there something more that I need to do? | 03:15 |

| RedSocrates | mimi_, you can do that, but you will have stray config files lying around in the data partition that you may want to clean up or get rid of, depending on details | 03:23 |

| vith | just the amount of space it takes to store a directory entry | 05:15 |
| Dailycomputing | ok | 05:16 |
| nicklecoder | You should be able to format an sd card by right-clicking on it's icon in the launcher in this release. If not, you could install ubuntu tweak and set the setting that makes the sd card appear on the desktop as an icon and right click there and select format. | 05:16 |

| nicklecoder | @rinzler: you may consider re-installing Chrome and see if that changes anything. | 05:20 |

| Dailycomputing | lol i love ubottu but anyway i need to format a sd card | 05:22 |
| rinzler | what's the command to make apt-get reinstall something? | 05:24 |
| ewook | Dailycomputing: Does the SD Card show on your desktop? unmount it first. | 05:24 |
| ewook | rinzler: dpkg --reconfigure [packet] should work. | 05:24 |
| ewook | Dailycomputing: Please also specify the error Gparted gives you. | 05:25 |
| nicklecoder | @rinzler: apt-get remove xyz && apt-get install xyz | 05:25 |
| Dailycomputing | ewook, wow do i unmount? and it dont say a error it just says error lol\ | 05:25 |
| L3top | nicklecoder: linuxmce is not ideal for cameras to be sure... but it certainly works... and it is not "out of date". | 05:26 |

| ewook | rinzler: sorry, dpkg-reconfigure [packet] | 05:26 |
| monitoring | nicklecoder, How i work with it... | 05:27 |
| ewook | Dailycomputing: you unmount by right clicking it. you might even get the option to format right there. | 05:27 |
| ki4ro | L3top: You want me to put that in at a terminal? | 05:27 |
| L3top | yes ki4ro | 05:27 |
| rinzler | would using apt-get remove --purge xyz work, or is --purge not an option... | 05:27 |
| L3top | then sudo apt-get update and then do whatever it was you are doing. | 05:27 |
| ewook | nicklecoder: that does not reconfigure it, simply removes and re-adds it. if the conf's already there - it skips config. | 05:28 |
| ewook | rinzler: --purge would be the long and bothersome whay. | 05:28 |
| ewook | way | 05:28 |
| ewook | geh | 05:28 |
| Dailycomputing | ewook, i dont even see my card and i only found it in gparted im new to ubuntu | 05:29 |
| L3top | rinzler: to answer your question sudo apt-get install --reinstall | 05:29 |
| L3top | package | 05:29 |
| rinzler | L3top: ahh. That's what I was looking for. Thanks!! | 05:29 |
| ewook | Dailycomputing: You don't see your SD card, but in Gparted you get an error trying to format it? | 05:29 |
| ewook | L3top: thanks, that would be the apt version of dpkg-reconfigure | 05:30 |
| Dailycomputing | ewook, it will come up in gparted is that wfere im supposed to right click? | 05:30 |
| L3top | correct ewook. I prefer the dpkg method personally... but sometimes reinstall is required. | 05:31 |

| eppa | hey! I threw together a RAID1 device, using mdadm, to remporarily store some data…turned out all the data “fit” (space–wise) on a single device, so I'd like to now remove the second device from the array. I'm re–jigging my LVM setup, so shuffling a lot of data around. How can I be sure removing the second RAID1 device won't be destructive? | 06:05 |
| pskeshu | Dailycomputing - Have you tried the disk utility ? | 06:06 |
| Dailycomputing | no? | 06:06 |
| pskeshu | search for disk utility in unity | 06:06 |
| pskeshu | or for disks if you are using gnome 3.4 | 06:06 |

| L3top | sudo not sudu | 06:09 |
| Dailycomputing | oh | 06:09 |
| eppa | OK, so typing it out here just pushed my brain to finding the solution itself: convert to RAID1, then “fail” the second disk | 06:10 |
| Dailycomputin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091057/ L3top | 06:10 |

| eppa | 't mention it | 06:14 |
| eppa | hmm | 06:14 |
| iceroot | siva4080: ##c | 06:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | eppa: As far as I understand, the only way to modify a raid0 (in ANY way) is to copy the data to another filesystem and destroy the raid. | 06:14 |
| pskeshu | when I try to update, I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091059/ | 06:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | eppa: you may be able to "shrink" the raid0, then create regular (non-raid) filesystems on the remaining parts of the disks and copy the data there | 06:15 |
| pskeshu | Please tell me whatto do. | 06:15 |
| eppa | DarwinSurvivor: good idea, ok thanks | 06:15 |
| Dailycomputin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091060/ L3top lol | 06:15 |

| eppa | DarwinSurvivor: all the truly important stuff fits in a Dropbox…this other data is important but changes rapidly so there's no good way to make it off–site | 06:25 |
| L3top | Dailycomputing: on the sd itself | 06:25 |
| Dailycomputing | L3top, in windows | 06:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Dailycomputing: if the drive is ntfs (or fat32) and detects that it is corrupted, it will mark it as read-only to prevent further corruption. Since NTFS and Fat32 are not properly documented, the only way to fix it is to format the whole drive or repair it using a windows machine | 06:26 |
| Dailycomputing | ok i need to do that | 06:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Dailycomputing: "if Ubuntu detects that it ....." | 06:27 |
| wols | Dailycomputing: fat32 is documented just fine. it's so primitive, there is nothing special to it. | 06:27 |
| wols | ntfs you have to use windows chkdsk tho | 06:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wols: ah, sorry, you are correct | 06:27 |

| arzuhuseyn | hey isn't there anyone ? | 07:11 |
| L3top | arzuhuseyn: What is your question? | 07:12 |
| arzuhuseyn | I have just downloaded a game . Alien Arena 7.60. but it is not .deb file . How I can install it to my Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 07:15 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Very often on this computer, I'll go to do something with sound and there will be none. When I go into Sound settings, there are no devices shown to choose from. | 07:15 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Anyone experienced with this, and who might have some insight into why the heck this happens? | 07:15 |
| lubu | . | 07:16 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Woah. After 5 minutes of having the sound preferences up, my sound cards just magically re-appeared. Ugh. | 07:16 |
| lubu | applause | 07:16 |
| Marzata | wow! | 07:16 |
| Marzata | only in ...? | 07:16 |
| BHSPitMonkey | At least there's no measurable rhyme or reason for why it dies or comes back. | 07:16 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Makes it really easy to troubleshoot... | 07:16 |
| arzuhuseyn | ?? | 07:21 |

| medenn1x | So, this may be something of an odd question, but I'm trying to use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a system rescue capacity for a non-distro Linux setup... | 07:25 |
| arzuhuseyn | L3top: it isn't a package just a folder. I think we must do something from terminal but I have no any idea. | 07:25 |
| medenn1x | Specifically, trying to get some RAID arrays going. (The system was on 3.1.1 so I'm pretty sure it wasn't hit with the known bug there) | 07:26 |
| Spectacle_K | I recently uninstalled KDE environment from my computer and it took a few programmes from my Unity environment with it (Clementine and Chromium as far as I can tell). I re-installed Chromium without issue. But now that Clementine is reinstalled, I can no longer play from Sky FM or other radios. I get an error saying 'unable to decode stream'. Can someone help with that? | 07:26 |
| medenn1x | They were basically set up for Linux raid autodetect, but Ubuntu from livecd at least didn't attempt to automatically start arrays from them | 07:26 |
| L3top | arzuhuseyn: typically if it is something that needs to be compiled there is a README file telling you how. | 07:27 |
| arzuhuseyn | L3top: ok there is README file.. I'm going to look it. if I will not find anything from there I will come back =D thank you | 07:28 |
| Spectacle_K | Why won't Clementine stream Sky FM any more? It did it before the incident. Now it won't. | 07:28 |
| L3top | !codec | Spectacle_K hopefully this will help. | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Spectacle_K hopefully this will help.: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 07:29 |
| medenn1x | Is there a methodology for trying to probe the raid membership manually? (for that matter, anyone happen to know the right params to do an offset mount to try to get at the underlying fs? the important stuff is all RAID1) | 07:30 |
| Spectacle_K | Clementine and decoding stream issue. | 07:30 |
| Spectacle_K | Will any of those tell me why Clementine is not decoding the streams from Sky FM? | 07:31 |
| L3top | One way to tell. | 07:31 |
| L3top | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:31 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 57 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB | 07:31 |
| Spectacle_K | I'm not sure if it has anything to do with restricted extras. It worked fine five hours ago. But it stopped when it uninstalled along with my KDE desktop environment. | 07:33 |
| Sefid_par | When I try the command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop" The ubuntu GUI ends! Do anybody know what the problem is? | 07:34 |
| L3top | Spectacle_K: did you uninstall either clementine or chromium? I see no reason why codecs might not have gone as well... but... I do not know if this needs a codec. | 07:35 |
| Spectacle_K | I uninstalled KDE using a terminal command I was directed to from this chat. It was supposed to uninstall KDE along with the programmes that came with it. | 07:36 |
| L3top | the cannot decode error seems to indicate it might. | 07:36 |
| Spectacle_K | When I checked it had uninstalled Chromium and Clementine | 07:36 |
| L3top | You miss my point. | 07:37 |
| Spectacle_K | I guess I do. | 07:37 |
| Spectacle_K | Sorry. I'm not in my right mind it's really early in the morning here. | 07:37 |
| L3top | Here as well. If it uninstalled those programs without asking, there is no reason to assume it didn't chunk the codecs as well. | 07:37 |
| medenn1x | ...I suppose it would help if I installed mdadm >_< | 07:38 |
| Spectacle_K | So... reinstall KDE? | 07:38 |
| L3top | No... | 07:38 |

| Spectacle_K | Ubuntu restricted extras are already installed it says. | 07:39 |
| L3top | Ok... that was my best guess. | 07:40 |
| Spectacle_K | That's OK, I'll just find a different music player for now and check into it later. I can always listen to Sky FM on their website. | 07:41 |
| Spectacle_K | :) thanks for the effort anyway. | 07:41 |

| biopyte | thats akward ... there should be backward compatibility | 09:51 |
| biopyte | actually i try 7 becaus some of my apps dont run properly on 6 ... maybe now they wont run at all .... hahaha | 09:52 |

| biopyte | correct | 09:53 |
| magpie | i have a problem with every flash-stick usb i plug in, it doesnt matter the format (fat, ntfs etc) every time i throw in some movies and delete them afterwards the capacity remains full and i am unable to erase it clean | 09:57 |
| cvr | magpie: trash folder on the flashdrive? | 09:58 |
| magpie | unable to erase it, it wont let me | 09:58 |
| MonkeyDust | magpie there's a hidden file called 'trash' after you deleted someting, delete that too | 09:58 |
| magpie | however, if i plug it in a windows machine everything is fine | 09:58 |
| biopyte | magpie, i always use mc or terminal interacting with flash-sticks | 09:59 |
| magpie | monkeydust it wont let me delete the trash | 09:59 |
| magpie | biopyte how do i do that? | 09:59 |
| magpie | MonkeyDust it says invalid argument | 09:59 |
| biopyte | start xterm, cd to your stick in /media and rm the files | 09:59 |
| MonkeyDust | magpie hard to believe, just hit the delete key after you selected the hidden trash file | 09:59 |
| magpie | MonkeyDust, still says invalid argument | 10:00 |
| biopyte | or start xterm and mc and browse | 10:00 |
| magpie | Biopyte you have to be more specific, i dont recall the last time i cd something | 10:00 |
| magpie | :( | 10:00 |
| biopyte | magpie, learn the basics of the unix command line | 10:01 |
| magpie | okie dokie | 10:01 |
| magpie | biopyte how about telling how to rm the files? i did cd media | 10:01 |
| biopyte | type 'ls' and find your stick | 10:02 |
| biopyte | then cd stick | 10:02 |
| biopyte | ls again | 10:03 |
| biopyte | find the trash-folder or whatever | 10:03 |
| biopyte | rm trash-folder | 10:03 |
| biopyte | rm -r | 10:03 |
| biopyte | no guarantee | 10:04 |
| magpie | trash-folder no such or directory | 10:04 |
| magpie | cannot remove | 10:04 |
| magpie | found it | 10:04 |
| biopyte | you listed the stick content | 10:04 |
| biopyte | you can see the files? | 10:04 |
| magpie | all of them, the ones that i threw in, but .trash-1000 is not visible at least in terminal | 10:05 |
| biopyte | probably its ./trash | 10:05 |
| === Mot_ is now known as Mot | ||
| MonkeyDust | magpie type ls -la in the pendrive | 10:05 |
| magpie | though when i type rm .trash-1000 it says cannot be removed its a directory | 10:05 |
| biopyte | rm -r | 10:05 |
| MonkeyDust | magpie it's rm -r | 10:05 |
| cvr | magpie: man rm | 10:05 |
| biopyte | for directories | 10:06 |
| magpie | MonkeyDust your command shows all files as well as .trash | 10:06 |
| mhahe | dont get why def fxn(1) keeps adding 1 to my list that is define within function... is the life time of function or method variables until reaching the end of that function or method? fxn(i, lst=[]): lst.append(i); return lst #fxn ends here | 10:06 |
| biopyte | be careful with rm -r otherwise | 10:06 |
| mhahe | oops | 10:06 |
| mhahe | wrong chan lol | 10:06 |
| magpie | guys i did rm - .trash-1000 it cannot be removed, it says is a directory | 10:07 |
| cvr | magpie: did u read the man page? | 10:08 |
| magpie | sorry mate i just saw your command advice, let me check | 10:08 |
| magpie | cheers | 10:08 |
| MonkeyDust | magpie please , it's rm -r .trash-1000 | 10:08 |
| magpie | sorry mate | 10:08 |
| magpie | that helped | 10:08 |

| === Guest82664 is now known as harikt | ||
| itsbroken | dr_willis: it worked for months. happend a few times in the last week. | 10:20 |
| magpie | i got another question, i just plugged in another flash stick and i run check filesystem and the reply is: File System is NOT clean | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | thats not a question ;) | 10:21 |
| magpie | hehe | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | what fs is on it? | 10:22 |
| magpie | the usb was working fine couple of hours ago, i messed around cause i wasnt able to delete it clean and eventually i format it which leads to this | 10:22 |
| magpie | ntfs, fat it doesnt matter, i tried a couple, usually i choose ntfs cause i use it on windows machine | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | magpie same: type ls -la and delete all | 10:23 |
| magpie | MonkeyDust its empty, i tried your advice, though it says 8 files i can only see . and .. | 10:23 |
| dr_willis | you are unmounting it befor you unplug it? | 10:23 |
| magpie | unmount and safe remove from the disk utility | 10:23 |
| === cerabounce is now known as ceradon|Cloud | ||
| dr_willis | you can unmount from the file manager. right click in the left most column | 10:24 |
| magpie | and eject? | 10:24 |
| magpie | so basically the only way to delete everything and bring it back to its total capacity (8gb) is via the terminal with MonkeyDust's advice (ls -la and rm -r) | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | eject is for optical. i think. i normally see umount and one other | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | magpie: what have you done to it in the past? | 10:26 |
| Super_Man | hi | 10:27 |
| magpie | however if i plug it in windows pc and delete everything then the capacity shows 8gb, but if i do the same thing in linux then the opposite happens, the files are shown deleted but the capacity shows occupied | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | ls just shows files.. dosent delete | 10:27 |
| biopyte | magpie, try hot water and soap | 10:27 |
| Super_Man | im new | 10:27 |
| magpie | biopyte i painted it blue and threw it in the sea | 10:27 |
| Super_Man | hello | 10:27 |
| magpie | dr_willis ls -la and the rm -r | 10:27 |
| magpie | and i delete everything | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | shows ocupied? | 10:28 |
| magpie | its 8gb capacity, if i throw in some movies lets say 4 gb and then delete them then the files are gone and not showing but the capacity is still 4gb | 10:28 |
| magpie | instead of 8gb | 10:28 |

| abnorm | what to do? | 11:01 |
| oCean | CAZ_au: the shell (bash) tries to find executable programs in the directories listed in your PATH variable (echo $PATH) You can move programs into one of those directories, or modify the PATH variable | 11:02 |

| Thornvale | Hi | 11:17 |
| Witewolf | I think my luck has given up. I can't install Ubuntu using the disc. I go to click on the Install Inside of Windows 7, and wham. Asks me to take out installation media and it just restarts the computer. | 11:17 |
| Thornvale | I'm having a problem with ubuntu studio 12.04, can anyone help me? | 11:18 |
| Thornvale | When I play an mp3 file, the sound is messed up | 11:18 |
| Thornvale | It does play, but it gets interrupted and loops back and generally plays wrong | 11:18 |
| CAZ_au | Witewolf: Why not just boot from the CD or use a USB? | 11:19 |
| Witewolf | I did boot from the cd, trying to install it. It goes through the whole loading screen, select language, blah blah. But when I select install inside windows 7... it just shuts it down and ejects the disc | 11:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf that's wubi, don't use that | 11:21 |
| Witewolf | I downloaded the Ubuntu file, it's a 698meg file in iso, I burned it as a bootable image and it boots off of it just fine... just won't install | 11:21 |
| wols | Witewolf: error message? | 11:22 |
| Witewolf | No error message, just a crap ton of text flies through the screen then it asks me to take the disk out, and hit enter... I do what it tells me and reboots my whole machine. | 11:22 |
| CAZ_au | Witewolf: Dont "boot" it while windows is running. | 11:22 |
| Witewolf | CAZ-au I am not.... | 11:23 |
| Thornvale | no one can help me with my mp3 problem? | 11:23 |
| CAZ_au | okay... when you reboot it should boot into Ubuntu, weird. maybe the bootloader wasnt set up properly | 11:24 |
| oCean | Thornvale: it has been 5 minutes since you asked. Have some patience, help is not always immediately available. Try asking again in maybe 15 minutes | 11:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale dfine "messed up" | 11:25 |
| Witewolf | Yeah, it doesn't install anything. Maybe I should try downloading an older version of Ubuntu and worry about updating it later. | 11:25 |
| zixxy | Thornvale, I've never used it. Maybe try #ubuntustudio | 11:26 |
| Thornvale | Well, basically when I play a file it gets interrupted with noise or loops back to a earlier part. | 11:26 |
| delac | Witewolf: propably not necessary. just describe how you did the installation process | 11:27 |
| CAZ_au | Witewolf: I think its the partition thats screwing up on install. Best bet while installing is let the install use your entire harddrive, or manually partition it if you know what your doing. But i gather you want to dual boot along side WIN 7 and not destroy it | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale what media player? | 11:28 |
| Thornvale | all of them, vlc, totem, rythmbox, audacious, movie player... | 11:28 |
| Witewolf | Aye, I partitioned my hardrive earlier. Each partition has 500Gb. I installed wubi on it before, but then uninstalled it. I am now trying the disc... I boot up the machine, put the disc in, shut down... turn on... go into the boot menu then boot off of the CD-Rom drive. | 11:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale other formats too, .ogg .flac etc or mp3 only | 11:29 |
| Thornvale | haven't tried yet with .ogg or .flacs, let me download a .ogg file and I'll tell you | 11:31 |
| Thornvale | But youtube videos seem to work just fine | 11:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale .mp3 is not free or open, that's why i'm asking | 11:31 |
| delac | Witewolf: do you start the installation right after the boot menu or from the desktop icon after bit of testing? | 11:31 |
| Thornvale | I know | 11:31 |
| Thornvale | But it's the format the files are in | 11:31 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale maybe you need an additional codec for mp3 | 11:33 |
| Witewolf | When I put in the CD the GRUB menu asks, Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu... I just click install... takes about 5 minutes on the Ubuntu Loading screen, then I select my language, select to connect to the internet *which isn't working for some weird reason* then click Install Inside of Windows 7. Before clicking anything I always make sure the CD-Rom drive isn't reved up, so it's not a matter of doing anything to quickly. | 11:33 |
| Thornvale | I'm trying to isntall the one directly from the fluendo website, maybe it'll work better | 11:33 |
| === ptyd3s is now known as Arthur_AXQ | ||
| Thornvale | nop, still the same problem, I'll as over at #ubuntustudio | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf do *not* install inside windows, it'll go better :) | 11:36 |
| CAZ_au | huh, from memory i only remeber there being an Install 'Along side Windows 7' option for me. Either way it should have set up a dual boot of WIn 7 and Ubuntu. Mayby the boot partition is still being defaulted to the Windows boot loader and ignoring GRUB | 11:36 |
| delac | Witewolf: Inside of Windows7? Sounds like you are using wubi. You could try using the "test without installation" option and then starting the installation from the desktop icon. That is what I always do. You would also be able to get the internet to work beforehand. | 11:37 |
| bigjoe | hi | 11:37 |
| Witewolf | I try clicking on the "Other" button, select the partition I want and it comes up with an error about root menu isn't setup or some crap like that lol. | 11:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf | 11:38 |
| delac | You would need to assign one of the partitions with "/" | 11:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf do you have space left on your hdd, where you can install ubuntu? | 11:38 |
| delac | The one you want to install the ubuntu on | 11:39 |
| Witewolf | Yes, each partition has 500GB | 11:39 |
| CAZ_au | Partiotn should look like this, you need to set up a / (called root) partition and a SWAP partition, and then set it up to boot from / or make a separate /boot partition. | 11:39 |
| delac | Witewolf: yes, swapt too. Should usually be as large as your total ram amount | 11:40 |
| CAZ_au | there should be a box to set where to boot from and you need to select the right drive | 11:40 |
| Witewolf | Let me try trying ubuntu without installing, see if i can fix the network issue then try installing from there.... haven't had this many issues trying to install ubuntu ever lol | 11:41 |
| CAZ_au | personally i have 1tb set up with separtate partitions for /, /home and /boot plus SWAP. | 11:41 |
| Thornvale | seems no one answers me at #ubuntustudio | 11:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#3 read this, to get an idea | 11:41 |
| Thornvale | and .oggs play just fine | 11:41 |
| delac | Witewolf: you can chip that little swap partition off the 500gb partition. | 11:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale great, so it's most probably a codec issue for mp3 | 11:41 |
| delac | Witewolf: but do it before you start the installation process | 11:42 |
| Thornvale | probably | 11:42 |
| delac | easier that way | 11:42 |

| MonkeyDust | Witewolf launch the live session, use gparted to partition | 11:46 |
| Thornvale | weird | 11:47 |
| Thornvale | it still has problems when turned to.ogg | 11:47 |
| delac | Witewolf: you dont need to "unpartition" anything if you already got a partition. Any partition is as good as other. You just need to do bit more partitioning to get the swap partition | 11:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Thornvale just renaming won't solve the issue | 11:47 |
| Thornvale | no, exported it with audacity | 11:48 |
| delac | Witewolf: do you know how to use gparted? | 11:48 |
| Witewolf_ | I am messing around with it to see if I can partition it the right way, maybe I didn't partition it correctly and it funked it all up | 11:50 |
| Witewolf_ | Should it be ext2 or NTFS for the file system? | 11:51 |
| Thornvale | Must be a sound car problem then | 11:51 |
| Thornvale | if there is still trouble after exporting to .ogg | 11:51 |
| delac | Witewolf_: ext4 for the partition you use as installation partition. swap for the swap | 11:52 |
| Witewolf_ | hmm | 11:52 |
| wols | Witewolf_: do you have windows on that disk already? | 11:53 |
| delac | Witewolf_: it is good idea to format the swap aprtition before installation process. Then on the custom partition selection screen on installation, it will automatically recognixe the swap and you dont have to worry about it. Just note that there is one partition with swap label nad it will use it | 11:53 |
| delac | Witewolf_: you only need to select the installation partition, assign it with "/" and mark it with formatting with ext4 | 11:54 |
| Mattias | I'm using ubuntu server, and I was wondering. I made a service called znc. now, it works and all, but how do I add it to system startup? I'm used to archlinux which has a DAEMON list in rc.conf -.- anything similar on ubuntu? | 11:54 |
| delac | Witewolf_: just make sure you are selecting the empty partition and not the one with your windows on it :) | 11:55 |
| Witewolf_ | Well, I am partitioning it right now as ext4... now what? | 11:55 |

| wols | Mattias: ^^ | 11:56 |
| delac | Witewolf_: it doesnt matter how you do the partitionong now with the grub. It is still advisable to mark it for formatting on the installation | 11:56 |
| Mattias | thanks | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | Mattias: how did you make ut a service. i run znc as a user here. | 11:56 |
| |Long| | ikonia, how can i turn it on? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | |Long|: you don't | 11:56 |
| ikonia | |Long|: it's locked for a reason | 11:56 |
| Mattias | dr_willis: http://wiki.znc.in/Running_ZNC_as_a_system_daemon | 11:56 |
| delac | Witewolf_: but the actual partitioning is always good to do before installation process | 11:56 |
| killer_ | hi...i installed ubuntu on usb ...now how do i start it? | 11:57 |
| |Long| | ikonia, so is there away i can re-schedule it for different user? | 11:57 |
| Witewolf_ | Yeah, just finished it... now I am going to start the ubuntu installer via desktop and see what happens lol | 11:57 |
| Mattias | dr_willis: also make sure the file is in unix fileformat :P apparently I got it as dos somehow and then it didn't work (file not found) | 11:57 |
| ikonia | |Long|: is there a reason you're not using your own user ? | 11:57 |
| |Long| | ikonia, well, i tried that but it doesnt run on scheduled time | 11:58 |
| delac | Witewolf_: but if you now have ~500gb partition and swap partition and working internet. then you can go on with the installation from the desktop icon. | 11:58 |
| ikonia | |Long|: right, so if it doesn't work on your scheduled time, it's most likley a problem with your cronjob setup, rather than the account, so resolve it as you, rather than trying to make it run as root | 11:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf_ partitioning is the hard part | 11:58 |
| Witewolf_ | well thats the problem... i can't get the internet to work... shall I work on that before I actually start the installer? | 11:58 |
| |Long| | ikonia, is there a error log or where i can check to see why it is not run? | 11:59 |
| delac | Witewolf_: might be good idea. It should work on the live cd if it is going to work at all. | 11:59 |
| Mattias | dr_willis: ooh, don't forget to use mosh too! http://mosh.mit.edu/ it's awesome. (^^♪ | 11:59 |
| Thornvale | gahh no matter what I do the sound is still fucke dup | 11:59 |
| ikonia | |Long|: why don't you pastebin a.) your crontab entry b.) the script (if you are calling a script) you are trying to run | 11:59 |
| delac | Witewolf_: what kind of connection you should have? | 12:00 |
| Witewolf_ | Well lets address that issue then... It seems to see the router, but it gets caught up in a loop and won't actually connect.. .just keeps trying | 12:00 |
| delac | Witewolf_: so normal wthernet? | 12:00 |
| Witewolf_ | wireless | 12:00 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf_ use a cable to start, not wireless | 12:00 |
| Witewolf_ | Unfortunately I can't. | 12:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf_ now you have to try and install, AND configure wireless | 12:01 |
| delac | Witewolf_: does ubuntu give you the jockey driver manager? | 12:02 |
| Witewolf_ | Well, majority of the issue would be wireless for right now. I can always troubleshoot the install later. | 12:02 |
| aaa801 | How can i mount a yaffs2 image dump? | 12:02 |
| Witewolf_ | Applications/Additional Drivers? | 12:02 |
| delac | Witewolf_: I mean, does the wireless adapter on the machone need closed source drivers? | 12:02 |
| izumu | hello | 12:02 |
| delac | Witewolf_: yes, additional drivers | 12:03 |
| Witewolf_ | I doubt it, whats the command to check wlan in the terminal? | 12:03 |
| Witewolf_ | delac: nothing comes up in the additional drivers window | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | aaa801 i had never heard of it, but there's this http://yaffs.net/howto-incorporate-yaffs-linux | 12:04 |
| delac | Witewolf_: on the other hand, you did say it does see the router? just gets in to loop? | 12:04 |
| Witewolf_ | Yes... it sees the router, and attempts to connect.. but it can't successfully connect.. just keeps trying over and over | 12:05 |
| delac | Witewolf_: in that case it's propably not missing driver, but could still be some driver problem... | 12:05 |
| |Long| | ikonia, here is it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1091399/ | 12:06 |
| Witewolf_ | Yeah, thats what I'm thinking but I can't seem to figure it out lol. | 12:07 |
| delac | Witewolf_: or it mighthave something to do with the connection encryption. You do have encrypted connection? | 12:07 |
| Witewolf_ | WPA | 12:08 |
| sacarlson | Witewolf_: wifi encrypted by any chance? if so did you try unencrypted if it's your AP to test? | 12:08 |
| Witewolf_ | let me see... | 12:09 |
| Mattias | wols: thanks, rebooted the server to try.. apparently it already started on boot now when the file is in unix format. | 12:09 |
| Witewolf_ | that's weird.. while in ubuntu live I can't access the router... | 12:10 |
| === rob is now known as Guest94432 | ||
| delac | Witewolf_: propably because you cant connect to the wireless router :) | 12:10 |
| Witewolf_ | Aye lol | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:11 |
| delac | Witewolf_: you need to do the setting up of the router from windows or get the cable | 12:11 |
| delac | Witewolf_: also, if you can, use wpa2 rather than just wpa | 12:12 |
| === pizza-dude is now known as wiiguy | ||

| |Long| | ikonia, i tried chown user /u /etc/crontab it give me premission denied, eventhought i has it on 777 | 12:13 |
| ikonia | |Long|: that's not what I said to do | 12:13 |
| ikonia | |Long|: I can't see much of that working | 12:14 |
| |Long| | ikonia, i know, i just tried to see if there is other way around | 12:14 |
| ikonia | |Long|: do any of those cronjobs run | 12:14 |
| ikonia | I can't see any of them working | 12:15 |
| |Long| | none of them run as that scheduled time | 12:15 |
| ikonia | maybe get the scripts working, but the first two no | 12:15 |
| |Long| | it will run if i do manually and individually | 12:15 |
| ikonia | |Long|: yes, but thats not how crontab works, the first two will not work | 12:16 |
| Witewolf | Well I am stuck until I can figure out how to get a million other things working lol, thanks for all the help guys. | 12:16 |
| |Long| | ikonia, what eles can i do to make it to work bud? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | |Long|: the first two - no chance, you'd have to approach it totally different, the scripts, I suspect that's a simple matter of quoting the the job so it knows about the argument (and making sure the scripts are executable) | 12:17 |
| |Long| | ikonia, ok | 12:18 |
| Witewolf | I can mess with wireless later, but the error I get when I choose which partition I want to install Ubuntu on is... "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." | 12:18 |
| |Long| | all those jobs are has +x and 755 | 12:18 |
| mobhero | hi | 12:19 |
| blackshirt | choose your root partition | 12:19 |
| blackshirt | Hi mobhero | 12:19 |
| mobhero | how to install GITHub server in ubuntu 10.04 server, pls help me.. | 12:19 |
| delac | Witewolf: yes, you need to assign the ~500gp partiton with the root "/" tag. That way the installer knows where you want to install ubuntu | 12:19 |
| blackshirt | mobhero, install git-core packages | 12:19 |
| mobhero | blackshirt- then how can i configure. pls suggest any website to setup | 12:20 |
| Witewolf | How do I assign that partition with the root "/" tag? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | |Long|: ok, so execpt for the chroot jobs - they are wrong, try properly quoting the script as a string so it knows the second option is an argument to the first | 12:21 |
| Witewolf | also, do I want it to have a boot flag? | 12:22 |
| delac | Witewolf: no need to mess with the boot flag as far as I know. | 12:22 |
| delac | Witewolf: http://www.muktware.com/sites/default/files/images/manual/ubuntu-11-04/fresh_install_root.png | 12:23 |
| delac | Witewolf: so just select the partiton, get that window to show up somehow :) and select ext4 and mount point / | 12:23 |
| Witewolf | got ya, doing that now | 12:24 |
| Witewolf | Came up with a window saying something about Swap? | 12:25 |
| Witewolf | do I have to have swap space? | 12:26 |
| wols | yes | 12:26 |
| Witewolf | Which partition should I make Swap Area as? | 12:27 |
| delac | Witewolf: yes, it is advisable. didnt you already do the ram sized swap aprtiton with the gparted? | 12:27 |
| Witewolf | hmmm i think i skipped that part lol.. knowing me i completely forgot... mind helping me on that really quick before I start the installation? | 12:27 |
| delac | Witewolf: well, open up the gparted and chip off the ~500gb partition a smaller partition with the size of your ram and format that as swap | 12:29 |
| Qualia | hey how can i use usenet ? | 12:29 |
| usr13__ | Qualia: Ask your ISP | 12:30 |
| Benkinooby | is it safe to modify ntfs partitions with gparted? | 12:30 |
| Witewolf | unfortunately i already have 4 partitions.... | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Benkinooby modify? | 12:30 |
| delac | Witewolf: but you still propably should get the wireless fixed before you actually start the installation. No use to have os with no network connection :) | 12:30 |
| Benkinooby | MonkeyDust, extends the partition to unformated space | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Benkinooby sure, but make sure you don't lose data, backup first | 12:31 |
| delac | Witewolf: any of the about the size of your ram and empty? | 12:31 |
| Benkinooby | MonkeyDust, thx | 12:31 |
| delac | Witewolf: them* | 12:31 |
| Witewolf | none that are empty... System/OS/HP Recovery/Linux | 12:32 |
| usr13__ | Qualia: http://sabnzbd.org/ may be of interest to you. | 12:32 |
| delac | Witewolf: then you need to split up the linux partition | 12:33 |
| Witewolf | how can I split it up if I can't create another patition for the swap? | 12:34 |
| delac | Whiskey: why cant you create another partiton? | 12:34 |
| === Owner_ is now known as Guest79943 | ||
| usr13__ | or http://usenetreviewz.com/best-usenet-clients/ | 12:34 |
| Witewolf | Says it is impossible to have more than 4 partitions | 12:34 |
| bekks | Witewolf: Having four primary partitions, you have to delete at least one to create an extended partition for containing logical partitions. | 12:35 |
| usr13__ | Witewolf: Not true | 12:35 |
| Witewolf | Thats what the pop-up windows says.... | 12:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see | 12:35 |
| bekks | usr13__: You cant create more than four primary partitions on a MSDOS disk label | 12:35 |
| usr13__ | bekks: Witewolf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning | 12:36 |
| bekks | usr13__: Then please read that again, and leran what primary partitions are, and why you cant create more than four primary partitions on a MSDOS disk label. | 12:36 |
| stef1a | hi. I'm using ubuntu 12.04, and whenever I plug in any headphones or earbuds (via USB or jack), I can't get any sound. Help? | 12:37 |
| bekks | usr13__: Having at least one extended partition, you can create more than four partitions. | 12:37 |
| Witewolf | *sigh* can't install pastebinit, or get it because I have no internet lol | 12:37 |
| usr13__ | bekks: Correct | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Witewolf find a cable and 95% of your problems are solved | 12:37 |
| elspuddy | question , is there anying to make an iphone see a network printer useing ubuntu ? | 12:38 |
| usr13__ | Witewolf: bekks Of course, there's the option of adding another HDD. | 12:38 |
| Witewolf | Well, they don't make a long enough cable to reach from the router to my machine lol. And I am not going to move all my equipment up and down stairs all day. | 12:39 |
| Witewolf | guess I am SOL heh | 12:39 |
| delac | Witewolf: maybe you should put the internet connection as priority one :) | 12:39 |

| bekks | mala: And whats the problem? | 12:40 |
| MonkeyDust | mala irssi -c irc.freenode.org -n mala | 12:40 |
| MonkeyDust | mala -c means channel -n means nick | 12:41 |
| usr13__ | Witewolf: It doesn't cost that much. And there is always wireless. | 12:41 |
| bekks | start irssi, type "/connect irc.freenode.net" | 12:41 |
| Witewolf | really now? thats the damn issue I have been trying to solve... is on how to get wireless to work. | 12:41 |
| delac | Witewolf: try opening up the Network Connections manager and from the wireless tab, open up the connection you are using for the router. Then check the encryption tab from there. | 12:42 |
| Layke | How do I change the location that terminal windows open at? | 12:42 |

| Witewolf | delac: WPA2 | 12:52 |
| delac | Witewolf: which one does your router use, WPA or WPA2? | 12:52 |

| Witewolf | WPA2 lol | 12:53 |
| mankoff | Mattias: Ugh. Ok. I've been aware of this, but thought Nvidia supporte 650M. Maybe not. Is Bumble 64-bit? I tried that with another install, and got the impression it might be 32 bit only... | 12:53 |

| MonkeyDust | merp_ yeah, try it | 13:04 |
| ericccsaysss | I AM FINALLY A NEW UBUNTU USER! ...sorry, excited... | 13:05 |
| Mattias | M4Fia: http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage this iso (make it a liveusb with http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ ) can boot the system without a bootloader | 13:05 |
| mala | MonkeyDust to put the irssi to auto-start i need to put the command irssi inside the cron, yes? | 13:05 |
| MonkeyDust | !yay| ericccsaysss | 13:05 |
| ubottu | ericccsaysss: Glad you made it! :-) | 13:05 |
| Mattias | M4Fia: so in the installation, you pick the "no bootloader" option if grub won't install :P | 13:05 |
| MonkeyDust | mala no, cron is for scheduling tasks | 13:06 |
| M4Fia | very very very tnx Mattias | 13:06 |

| Layke | Man that was a nightmare. I just hit alt shift + f1, and had no idea how to get x back. I tried, startx, service kdm start, ctrl + alt + (all the fkeys). | 13:08 |
| mala | bekks: or i can use that in the terminal at GUI interface | 13:08 |
| Layke | Had to restart in the end. | 13:08 |
| merp_ | bmtahimik, is Drive D and external harddrive or an internal hard drive? | 13:08 |
| bekks | Layke: ctrl+alt+f7 | 13:08 |
| merp_ | Well then | 13:08 |
| mala | bkks: in GUI interface is possbile to auto-start the irssi? | 13:08 |
| Layke | I thought I tried that one. Thanks for confirmation though. I saw that in some guide, I lynxed to. I'll try it now anyway | 13:09 |
| lafon | merp_: Can you see the mic in another OS or in the BIOS? | 13:09 |
| bekks | mala: It is possible to autostart applications, yes. But get familiar with the basics first, before automate things. | 13:09 |
| merp_ | I don't have another os, and what is BIOS? | 13:09 |
| nannes | (15:07:26) <bekks>: mala: in a tty, there is no way to automatically run things at login. | 13:10 |
| nannes | I don't think so, bekks! ~/.bash_login is for that exact purpose! | 13:10 |
| nannes | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/97137/how-do-you-run-a-script-on-login-in-nix | 13:10 |
| bekks | merp_: BIOS is the thing that starts immediately after turning on your PC. | 13:10 |
| merp_ | Oh. How do I look for a microphone there? | 13:10 |
| bekks | nannes: What if someone doesnt use bash? :) | 13:10 |
| etsw | hi, my "battery icon" dissapered | 13:11 |
| nannes | Almost everyone uses bash. And I think that the others shells have that feature, too | 13:11 |
| etsw | how can I turn it back ? | 13:11 |
| merp_ | etsw, could you be clearer on "battery icon"? | 13:11 |
| mala | bekks: i am familiar i use ubuntu for more than 6 mounths | 13:11 |
| lafon | merp_: When the computer boots press the button on your keyboard that enters setup (with toshiba I believe it | 13:11 |
| lafon | it's F2* | 13:12 |
| etsw | merp_: icon at right top, I use gnome-session-fallback. classic gnome view. | 13:12 |

| mala | bekks: now u get me i started irssi today :) | 13:12 |
| merp_ | etsw, go in to power settings. | 13:13 |
| lafon | merp_: No then go look in devices (or whatever is similarly named.) If your device isn't showing there it means that the hardware isn't being recognised. | 13:13 |
| tking_ | cant find wireless nework on the kubuntu task bar | 13:13 |

| ActionParsnip | tightwork: for printing maybe, you can report a bug if you find it surplus | 13:13 |
| etsw | merp_: it's not there. | 13:13 |
| lafon | My BIOS has it listed as Peripherals | 13:13 |

| Fanshawe | Hello all, I have a simple question today. How do I 'cd' to a folder on an external drive? I have a separate drive called 'laptop storage' and I can't cd through '/media/laptop storage', as it says the folder does not exist | 13:27 |
| bastidrazor | Fanshawe: cd /media/laptop\ storage | 13:28 |
| bastidrazor | Fanshawe: also, you can use tab completion to complete the filenames and folder names | 13:28 |
| Fanshawe | 'bash: cd: /media/laptop: No such file or directory' | 13:29 |
| Fanshawe | I'm returned with that, even with the backslash | 13:29 |
| Fanshawe | oh wait, I've got it, yes tab completion works a treat | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Fanshawe do you see the external drive when you type mount ? | 13:29 |
| Fanshawe | it was my mistake, capital letters | 13:30 |
| Fanshawe | thank you very much bastidrazor, MonkeyDust | 13:30 |
| bastidrazor | Fanshawe: you're welcome. | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | mankoff, did you locate the additional drivers ? | 13:31 |
| Mattias | mankoff: dunno, that was the link the 12.04 bumblebee page provided at the bottom | 13:31 |
| mankoff | I see "Additional Drivers (jockey-gtk). Is that what you mean? | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | mankoff, yes | 13:32 |
| mankoff | BluesKaj I'll try those now... | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | choose the recommended driver , mankoff | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | activate it actually | 13:33 |
| mankoff | BluesKaj: It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and I can't do anything other than "Close". | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | mankoff, so it's already installed if you followed that CUDA tutorial | 13:33 |
| derp | is there a way to prevent Skype quit unexpectedly? | 13:34 |

| Mattias | mankoff: What was it that didn't work? | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | tking_ type ps -e | grep skype do you see skype? | 13:35 |
| mankoff | Mattias: "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/aaron-haviland/cuda-4.0/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found" | 13:35 |
| mankoff | Mattias: The "apt-get add-repository" line is this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aaron-haviland/cuda-4.0 | 13:36 |
| Mattias | yeah | 13:36 |
| mankoff | Mattias: But must tweak itself for my system, precise pangolin. | 13:36 |
| MonkeyDust | mankoff mind: a ppa is a non-official software source, use at own risk | 13:36 |
| mankoff | MonkeyDust: Yes. But there *aren't* official sources that seem to get CUDA working, as far as I can tell... | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | mankoff, your laptop doesn't need bumblebee | 13:37 |
| Mattias | mankoff: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/iRiE/20120309/1331303439 for cuda 4.2 | 13:37 |
| Mattias | ah 4.1* | 13:38 |
| MonkeyDust | mankoff did you see this http://www.nvidia.com/content/cuda/cuda-downloads.html | 13:39 |
| MonkeyDust | mankoff 12.04 is not in the list, tho | 13:39 |
| Mattias | was just going to post that :P | 13:39 |
| Mattias | no support for 12.04 | 13:39 |

| bekks | system055: By telling us more details when exactly that error occurs. | 14:10 |
| bekks | DarsVaeda: Did you uninstall grub2 completely? | 14:10 |
| system055 | wen i try to use my usb flash drive | 14:10 |
| DarsVaeda | I just installed win7 in another partition | 14:10 |
| DarsVaeda | and I do not think I have grub2 | 14:10 |
| bekks | system055: What does "use" stand for? thats an error message from the "mount" command, I guess. | 14:11 |
| bekks | DarsVaeda: grub2 is the default bootloader in Ubuntu. | 14:11 |
| system055 | i mean connect the usb | 14:11 |
| bekks | system055: And where do you see that error? | 14:11 |
| DarsVaeda | is grub2 still textual on standard installation or graphical? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: the boot sector for any OS is normally written to the master boot record of the primary/booting disk | 14:12 |
| system055 | when i try to get acces to the flash drive | 14:12 |
| mala | bazhang : i'm newb using irssi and i want to automatic connect to freenode with him( and my user) | 14:12 |
| bekks | DarsVaeda: Still text based. | 14:12 |
| bekks | system055: What exactly are you doing. Please be more precise. | 14:12 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: it doesn't matter where you install the OS, the boot loader normally goes on the MBR of the primary disk | 14:12 |
| bazhang | mala, better try in #irssi | 14:12 |
| mala | bazhang : thanks | 14:12 |
| system055 | i mount a usb drive but i dont have acces to the data | 14:13 |
| bekks | system055: So you get that error when mounting it? | 14:13 |
| DarsVaeda | so how do I install it then? with the graphical way of the alternate cd I tried all partitions available, that did not succeed | 14:13 |
| TuxyThePenguin | which linux distro should i choose | 14:13 |
| DarsVaeda | and with the terminal way there is not even grub-install | 14:13 |
| system055 | when i try to get asses to the information inside the flash drive | 14:14 |

| DarsVaeda | I installed win7 over a running multiboot environment to one of the partitions, after that only windows started -> I need to get grub back | 14:14 |

| TuxyThePenguin | Firefox is not installing flash? | 14:15 |
| DarsVaeda | yeah but I can't | 14:15 |
| bekks | system055: I am sorry, I cant get those fragments into an understable context for me. Maybe someone else can help you. | 14:15 |

| system055 | i insert the usb flash drive i can,t get acces to the files | 14:16 |
| system055 | i have a superblock how to unblock | 14:17 |
| DarsVaeda | because there is no grub-install and the graphical way of the alternate cd does not work "exit code 1" | 14:17 |
| bekks | system055: The superblock of a filesystem contains the basic information needed to mount it. You cant "unblock" it. | 14:17 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: if you follow the instructions (after actually reading them) on the link ubottu sent you, it will work | 14:17 |
| bekks | system055: And your error states that you are using a wrong command, option, etc. when trying to mount it. | 14:18 |
| Guest83990 | mh | 14:18 |
| DarsVaeda | than that article is too complicated for me, I missed that part | 14:18 |
| system055 | is other way to try mount it | 14:18 |
| Guest83990 | i can't decrypt files with seahorse - i've got some '.pgp' files | 14:19 |

| ikonia | DarsVaeda: if you have specific questions on that articles steps, just ask | 14:19 |
| system055 | i can be the usb drivers? | 14:19 |

| bekks | TuxyThePenguin: You have to install it yourself. | 14:20 |
| TuxyThePenguin | How bekks? | 14:20 |
| bekks | TuxyThePenguin: By searching for "flash" in the software center, select the variant you want to use, and install it. | 14:20 |
| DarsVaeda | ikona: sorry what? not one of those steps even mentions the alternate cd? | 14:20 |
| DarsVaeda | it is only about the liveCd and I do not posses one of them | 14:20 |
| DarsVaeda | also I have no working ubuntu | 14:21 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: the process is still the same, selecting the recovery enviornment | 14:21 |
| DarsVaeda | so I can not find any point that is suitable for me | 14:21 |
| TuxyThePenguin | Can i boot ubuntu of an USB, and how | 14:21 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: if you are not comfortable applying those steps to the alternative CD install (even though it's the same) I suggest you download a desktop CD | 14:21 |

| |Long| | i ran idiviadually and it work, but not on scheduling time | 14:24 |
| ryant5000 | ikonia: hm, alright; so basically they are in charge of all the kernel releases? i thought this pv-grub thing allowed you to run a custom kernel | 14:24 |
| ikonia | |Long|: yeah, you said that last time and I explained that's not valid testing, and gave you suggestions on how to resolve the issues | 14:24 |

| CAZ_au | Just wondering, whats the current state of Ubuntu Updates breaking a system, specifically with new kernal updates and nvidia drivers. Ive read old articles about new kernals being updated and the driver not compiling to the new kernal thus rendering the user to a shell at boot. is that a problem these days, if i download the new kernal in update manager will my nvidia driver still likely work (ive only ever got the nvidia-current driver, not any post release | 15:22 |
| CAZ_au | 'current-updates'). I did have "proposed updates" turned on (hey why not, lol) but i turned that off now. | 15:22 |
| wN | jyg, it was a joke. | 15:22 |
| jyg | i figured by the 'xD' hah... but still, it makes not sense, hah | 15:23 |
| ikonia | CAZ_au: you don't compile the nvidia drivers, those articles are nonsense | 15:23 |

| Icarus_ | but it still wont be small enough | 15:42 |
| wN | i think the alternate install cd gives you a list of packages you can add/remove, but i may be mistaken | 15:42 |
| ksbalaji | how to install glx 1.3 in lucid? My new firefox is dead (: | 15:42 |
| wN | ikonia: ^ | 15:42 |
| ikonia | wN: not by default no | 15:42 |
| wN | hmm | 15:42 |
| ikonia | wN: the alternative install is the same install, just a different installer routine | 15:43 |
| huamm | if im using ubuntu server / terminal mode , can be smaller? | 15:43 |
| ikonia | huamm: it will be smaller as it will have no desktop packages | 15:43 |
| wN | ikonia: right. i thought it gave you an option to add/remove packages before final install. perhaps that was a different distro | 15:43 |
| ikonia | huamm: but obviously you will have no desktop | 15:43 |
| ikonia | wN: you can do things like use the "lamp" package set install, but the base component is the same | 15:44 |
| huamm | @ikonia , can i install desktop with us? | 15:44 |
| huamm | sorry bad english | 15:44 |
| ikonia | huamm: you already have a desktop | 15:44 |
| ikonia | huamm: you can't say "can I remove the desktop to save space, then install a desktop" - that is pointless | 15:44 |
| huamm | no no no | 15:45 |
| huamm | i think its true | 15:45 |
| Icarus_ | huamm you make no sense | 15:45 |
| huamm | how about it? | 15:45 |
| ikonia | huamm: how about what ? | 15:45 |
| Icarus_ | seriously huamm it hurts to read what you are writing, please into sense | 15:46 |
| huamm | no | 15:46 |
| huamm | sorry2 | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Icarus_: he's trying, English isn't his first language | 15:46 |
| Icarus_ | you might want to consider a smaller linux distro, i know we aren't suppose to advert others here but ubuntu doesn't really do small sizes like 4 gigs | 15:47 |
| huamm | so, can I remove all the desktop, then make it into the terminal mode, and tried to install the desktop back to a different Window Manager | 15:47 |
| ito | does anyone here use an ncurses irc client like weechat? I have a question about channel discovery | 15:47 |
| ito | specifically sorting of channels | 15:48 |
| ikonia | huamm: you won't see a benefit to that | 15:48 |
| Icarus_ | huamm it wont work, you'll save alot of room when you remove the DE but when you try to reinstall it will say "no space on disk" | 15:48 |

| ikonia | Duality: yes it can display output to the screen, thorugh the virtual machine manager console | 15:52 |

| ikonia | Duality: it can't directly output to the screen as if it was a native device | 15:53 |
| Duality | hmm | 15:53 |
| ikonia | olio: yes it is "+ format" | 15:53 |

| SoulRaven | hello | 16:05 |
| SoulRaven | plase help me with something | 16:05 |
| SoulRaven | i have made a little script to restart tomcat from cron | 16:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Mattias from what you say, i understand you're more familiar with it than i am | 16:06 |
| SoulRaven | but the problem is that the script is working fine when i execut from teminal | 16:06 |
| Mattias | MonkeyDust: seems kvm supports ssh access without problems. Not sure about virtualbox though ^.^ | 16:06 |
| SoulRaven | but when i execut the script from cron is not working, just stops after the kill -9 comand inside the script | 16:06 |
| SoulRaven | anyone? | 16:07 |
| Mattias | ssh access to the virtual machine* | 16:07 |
| ikonia | SoulRaven: be aware that cron does not have an active "shell" enviornment so you have to set all that up in your script | 16:07 |
| bekks | SoulRaven: Then show the script please, in a pastebin. | 16:07 |
| SoulRaven | ikonia: how, can you give me a example | 16:07 |
| SoulRaven | ok | 16:08 |
| SoulRaven | beeks: ok | 16:08 |
| ikonia | SoulRaven: for example if you do " mv /tmp $HOME/new place" on the command line, your shell has a $PATH setup, so it knows mv is in /usr/bin, and that $HOME is /home/youruser, cron does not have any of that | 16:08 |

| ikonia | raidghost: because that's the physical device, | 16:37 |
| ikonia | raidghost: rather than the raid device | 16:37 |
| raidghost | so the installer uses another thingy to see the drive? | 16:38 |
| raidghost | if the installer doesnt sees it, the fdisk -l and cfdisk should not see it | 16:38 |
| ikonia | raidghost: not quite, how the installer sees the disks depends on the raid controller | 16:38 |

| raidghost | i have not set any raid, cause i dont know much aboute it | 16:40 |
| ikonia | raidghost: ok, | 16:40 |
| ikonia | raidghost: as a test, could you please boot a livecd, and create a partition using gparted on /dev/sda | 16:41 |
| raidghost | i find it weird that the debian installer finds the drive with no problem. | 16:41 |
| CAZ_au | Why is Ubuntu so intent on not letting you have "about:home" as your homepage in Firefox. Seems they much rather you have "about:startpage" which i can understand for any ad revenue if they do that but it seems a bit weird when you try and put about:home the settings window blanks out the faild (but you can force it by visiting the page and then going t settings, enter it and click the drop down menu item) | 16:41 |
| ikonia | CAZ_au: log a bug | 16:42 |
| raidghost | ikonia: i will take a look in the bios. and see if there is some options i should change. thanks for some usefull information<( | 16:42 |
| CAZ_au | good idea | 16:43 |

| nathan708 | ki4ro: i dont think the question was ever answered on there | 16:58 |
| duhamel | which ubuntu is it? | 16:58 |
| wohnpc | I couldn't have done it without you | 16:58 |
| Amorris | mine is 11.10 | 16:59 |

| duhamel | You can do a Md5sum check from terminal when you run ubuntu without installing. | 17:00 |
| Amorris | yeah i responded to the thread that that links to. | 17:00 |
| ki4ro | Weird....I must be the only one that can look things up on Google | 17:01 |
| manners13 | damn iv tried | 17:01 |
| manners13 | lol | 17:01 |
| manners13 | everything is for finding 1 line of text | 17:01 |
| manners13 | i need to match 3 lines | 17:01 |
| duhamel | Amorris: if the numbers don't match Ubuntus hashes then try downloading a different iso. i also prefer using Unetbootin to install iso's to a USB it's quick and no wasted disks | 17:02 |

| jihedamine | Hi, Is there a good tutorial on how to make wine work with ubuntu 12.04 64 bits please ? | 17:03 |
| wohnpc | duhamel: scanners under linux is very difficult | 17:03 |
| duhamel | yes. I am having a difficult time. | 17:03 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| Amorris | okay. im reading about how to do an md5sum check. it seems i need to do it in terminal, but i dont have ubuntu installed. | 17:04 |
| ki4ro | jihedamine: This might get you started http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wine | 17:05 |
| duhamel | You could run Ubuntu live without installing. If you use Unetbootin it is very quick and easy, right in the start menu. | 17:05 |
| jihedamine | ki4ro thanks | 17:05 |
| LukeNukem | Hi | 17:05 |
| wohnpc | amorris: so get a windows tool to do it for you... but if you are installing from an .iso you can just burn it and let check the disc from inside the install programm | 17:05 |
| LukeNukem | on my ubuntu 11.10, after a while it just starts lagging | 17:05 |
| LukeNukem | how can i fix this? | 17:06 |
| Amorris | i tried that but it spits back the same error message | 17:06 |
| |Long| | when u edit crontab do I need to restart something to take effect? | 17:06 |
| Amorris | ill try checking it in windows | 17:06 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: Maybe increase your swap space...had to do that on mine...runs much better now | 17:06 |
| subhadip | Hi | 17:07 |
| subhadip | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my friend's computer with an Ecs motherboard. Everything worked fine except the audio. I had to install ATI/AMD proprietary graphics driver for it, but even after that, there was no sound. But on the other partition, there's a Windows XP installation, after installing the driver supplied with the motherboard, the audio was functioning normal. Any suggestion? | 17:07 |
| duhamel | Amorris: have you tried other iso's or distrobutions? | 17:08 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, how do i go about doing that | 17:08 |
| duhamel | i am running ubuntu studio 12.04 i have a brother mfc j615w all in one. i have the printer working and want to get the scanner to go. i have Xsane installed and and downloaded the drivers and skan key from Brother webpage. the drivers were installed with package manager or whatever but i received a awrning message that file was not to be trusted because it didn't give a package size. now when i click Xsane it says Failed to open devic | 17:08 |
| duhamel | e 'brother3.bus9;/dev1': Invalid argument. what do i do? | 17:08 |
| Amorris | nope. im downloading the latest one now to try it (i burned this distribution a few months ago) | 17:08 |
| duhamel | do you have a usb stick ? | 17:09 |
| bo_ | how can i utilize ubuntu for network troubleshooting or forensics? | 17:09 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, ? | 17:09 |
| bharath | I fetched depot_tools from git clone https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git and typed export PATH="$PATH":`pwd`/depot_tools ,but it gives the error /usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory | 17:10 |
| duhamel | bo_ dd rescue and dd are very powerful forensics tools. Gparted is good to. | 17:10 |
| LukeNukem | i've also heard ubuntu is slow in general | 17:10 |
| bo_ | duh: are these tools free? | 17:10 |
| duhamel | ubuntu is 10x faster than any windows. | 17:11 |
| duhamel | yes bo | 17:11 |
| solpeth | duhamel: and 10x slower than any other Linux. | 17:11 |
| duckxx | i just installed "ack-grep" .. but i want to run the command with just "ack" how and where do i change this? | 17:11 |
| duhamel | they are in the repositories. also clonezilla is gfood. | 17:11 |

| LukeNukem | ki4ro, i hear 11.10 is quite laggy in general | 17:12 |
| duhamel | bo_: try downloading parted magic. it is a super powerful live distro that runs from ram so the footprint it leaves on systems you are trying to examine is minimal. | 17:13 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: I'm on 12.04 now. This is probably where I read on how to do it since I am a noob https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq/ | 17:14 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, how do you feel on 12.04 from 11.10 | 17:14 |

| ubuntu__ | : | 17:14 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:14 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: I like it...still getting lots and lots of updates but it does seem stable to me | 17:15 |
| bharath | I fetched depot_tools from git clone https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git and typed export PATH="$PATH":`pwd`/depot_tools ,but it gives the error /usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory | 17:15 |

| duhamel | captine: I've had success moving /Home with Gparted.. | 17:16 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: That seems to have gone away | 17:16 |
| captine | thanks duhamel. let me try with that. | 17:16 |
| duhamel | or dd... I don't remember now actually. sorry. | 17:16 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, since the upgrade, did you lose your data, apps and so on? | 17:17 |
| Zelator | hey there guys | 17:17 |
| LukeNukem | did you upgrade or a clean instal | 17:17 |
| Zelator | one firend of mine has tried installing Ubuntu like 7 times and it always fails with the same symptomes | 17:17 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: Not that I've noticed | 17:17 |
| Zelator | the installer window at some point just dissappears | 17:17 |
| Zelator | and that's it | 17:17 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: Not what you would call a power user though | 17:18 |
| Zelator | no errors, no message windows, nothing | 17:18 |
| duhamel | i am running ubuntu studio 12.04 i have a brother mfc j615w all in one. i have the printer working and want to get the scanner to go. i have Xsane installed and and downloaded the drivers and skan key from Brother webpage. the drivers were installed with package manager or whatever but i received a awrning message that file was not to be trusted because it didn't give a package size. now when i click Xsane it says Failed to open devic | 17:18 |
| LukeNukem | have you considered learning linux and moving onto better distros such as redhat or debian or arch ki4ro ? | 17:18 |
| duhamel | e 'brother3.bus9;/dev1': Invalid argument. what do i do? | 17:18 |
| Zelator | the installation just never finishees | 17:18 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: Nah, getting too old for that stuff LOL Be 63 in a week LOL | 17:18 |
| captine | duhamel: still interested to know where my partition mount points are being stored, as unless i am blind, nano /etc/fstab opened an empty file | 17:18 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, plenty of time sir :) | 17:19 |
| cknox | is it possible to tell apt to only upgrade packages that will not require a restart? | 17:19 |
| Zelator | actually he managed to install it normally just one time... but then he screwed it up and had to reinstall it again, and since then he couldn't install it | 17:19 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: LOL thanks | 17:19 |
| bharath | bharath@ubuntu:~$ $PATH bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/gedit:/usr/bin/env:/home/bharath/depot_tools:/home/bharath/depot_tools: No such file or directory | 17:19 |
| LukeNukem | ki4ro, mind if i PM? | 17:19 |
| bharath | can anyone help in this issue | 17:19 |
| xangua | cknox: normally only the kernel and hardware related updates requite restart, and even then you are not forced to restart | 17:20 |
| ki4ro | LukeNukem: Not at all | 17:21 |
| manners13 | can anyone point me in the right direction for matching 3 lines in a text file | 17:21 |
| manners13 | should i be using grep awk or sed | 17:22 |
| duhamel | captine: i had the same problem when i was moving my /home. my fstab was empty too. sorry, but i don't remember how i figured it out or if i just gave up and said whatever... as long as it works. | 17:23 |
| duhamel | I'm not helpful. I'm a useless! | 17:24 |
| Lcawte | Hi, my Ubuntu server seems to be operating in some sort of local only mode, I can connect to it but anyone else on the outside can't, I can't host / ping gogole either... | 17:24 |
| duhamel | goodbye all. thanks for the wonderful memories. | 17:25 |
| cknox | captine: what happens when you nano /etc/mtab? | 17:25 |
| captine | cknox: it looks like I would expect my fstab to look | 17:26 |
| captine | with the drives and mount points and permissions | 17:26 |

| Rhombix | But, yes, that is what I'm booting from | 17:36 |
| ericus | How did you install it to the USB drive? | 17:36 |

| Rhombix | I'm not 100% sure, how would I ensure that? | 17:39 |
| ericus | Rhombix: by looking into boot order in BIOS for example | 17:39 |
| cyb3rd0rk | Hey guys can someone help me for second? | 17:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Rhombix a part-ition is a part of your harddisk, linux uses such parts to be installed | 17:40 |

| Rhombix | I don't really know how to change stuff in the BIOS... | 17:40 |

| zimbres | Hi, how can I get a netbook to boot from a usb stick, I change boot priority in bios but it always boot from hdd? | 18:13 |
| L3top | I can't mount this sd. Camera uses it, win sees it. Ran chkdsk from windows without issues and unmounted cleanly. This is still the result. http://pastebin.com/aMiGmKum It is not of any real importance... but it annoys me. | 18:14 |
| blueskies | is there a way to run a cron.hourly straight away? | 18:14 |
| L3top | zimbres: does your post screen have an f12 option or anything to address boot order? | 18:14 |
| perlmonkey | dagroves ok seems others have had issues with that chipset, so it probably wont work "out of the box" without driver installing | 18:14 |
| zimbres | L3top: It has F2 option only | 18:14 |
| dagroves | perlmonkey: I have no idea how to install the driver though, I found the Ralink driver for it, but it is in a bz2 file and I have no idea what that is | 18:15 |
| perlmonkey | wifi can be a nightmare to setup, i had probs getting my built-in wifi to work on my toshiba laptop, had to mess around a bit to get it working and install a driver | 18:15 |
| perlmonkey | bz2 is a compressed file, you would need to uncompress it, what i would suggest first is check to see if any package exists for your hardware/chipset as sometimes you might get lucky | 18:16 |
| perlmonkey | start ubuntu software center and do a search | 18:16 |
| L3top | zimbres: in bios you are selecting boot to usb hd, and changing its priority? Do you have another machine you can try to confirm you have a good burn image? How did you create this USB btw? | 18:16 |
| zimbres | L3top: than I go Boot -> Boot device priority -> | 18:16 |
| dagroves | pearlmonkey: what would I search for? My device? | 18:17 |
| perlmonkey | dagroves try the device name and the chipset if that doesn't work | 18:17 |
| blueskies | hi, just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem? | 18:17 |
| dagroves | okay | 18:17 |
| perlmonkey | dagroves there is a page somewhere for ubuntu which lists all wifi hardware and status/drivers needed/supported etc, see if you can find that too | 18:18 |

| dagroves | pearlmonkey: There is nothing in the software center. I have the driver but I have no idea how to install it, I have it extracted, but no idea what to do | 18:19 |
| jgmdev | blueskies, you can use screen | 18:19 |
| perlmonkey | check dmesg and see the devices does | 18:19 |
| zimbres | L3top: that should work right? I burned it from debian, for which i do not have any grafical program to burn images, at least I did not find any | 18:19 |
| perlmonkey | *see what | 18:19 |
| perlmonkey | dagroves that link i posted explains how to install it | 18:20 |
| L3top | yes zimbres... I believe it should have. Did you check the md5sum of the iso? | 18:20 |
| dagroves | pearlmonkey: okay I will check it out | 18:20 |
| zimbres | L3top: I did not, how can I do this check? | 18:20 |
| perlmonkey | dagroves if you save it into a folder, then open your file manager, click on it, it should automatically ask you if you want to uncompress/extract files somewhere | 18:21 |
| perlmonkey | then you can do the..make... make install | 18:21 |

| sleax | hi to all. Can you tell me how to use the "-w" flag on openssh client? Please give me an example. The man tell "Requests tunnel device forwarding with the specified tun(4) devices between the client (local_tun) and the server (remote_tun)." , but i haven't understand the utility. | 19:24 |

| Chamunks | is there a deb somewhere? | 19:37 |
| h00k | !java | Chamunks | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Chamunks: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 19:37 |
| Chamunks | its highly annoying having it removed from the repos. | 19:37 |

| Portugal | Guys, is this a good guide to install kernel 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 12.04: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/06/how-to-install-linux-kernel-344-in.html | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Portugal: nope | 19:49 |
| Portugal | ikonia: any sugestions? I don't want to break anything but I really want to be on the latest kernel | 19:50 |
| Meris | I want to disable hard disk head-parking in software(!), not firmware persistenly. How can I achieve this? | 19:50 |
| ikonia | Portugal: why do you want to be on the latest kernel | 19:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Portugal better test it on a non-productive system | 19:51 |
| ntwrk_keith | Looks like ubuntu supports it, but sane doesnt. Is there any other software out there that works with scanners? | 19:51 |
| Portugal | ikoina: Because Ubuntu is kinda slow for me and I have a pretty good computer. I wanted to see if this kernel update makes it better. And also to fix the crashes | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Portugal: the kernel won't "speed it up" | 19:52 |
| dagroves | Can someone help me with my Wireless? | 19:52 |
| dagroves | I am having problems. | 19:52 |
| hylian | i have a problem, I am stuck in chinese, and no matter what I do, I can't escape it. I have gone to settings to set it back to english, with no avail. this is the second time I have re installed, only to get this bug back, pleas help... | 19:52 |
| Portugal | ikonia: It might bring better ATI drivers support | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Portugal: it's better to isolate where hte performance issue is and resolve that, than trying such random thing as updating the kernel | 19:52 |
| ikonia | Portugal: sure, go random, do random things....it's only the kernel, it's only the core base component of your system that the whole OS is built around, why not randomly update it to different versions that are not provided from official sources | 19:53 |
| Portugal | ikonia: Ok, it is really slow and I have a decent graphics and 2GHz Dual-Core processor | 19:53 |
| captine | i have an issue. tried changing some theme settings, and seem to have things looking like gnome3. the window icons are changed etc. tried unity reset, but it doesnt complete. any ideas? | 19:53 |
| ikonia | Portugal: go for it | 19:54 |
| Meris | I'm using empathy and I see a picture of a user everytime someone types anything. How can I disable this, so the user pictures don't take up any space anymore? | 19:54 |
| Random832 | Portugal: what's slow exactly? | 19:54 |
| kr3at0r | Will the switchable graphics thing ever make it 100% to linux? | 19:54 |

| Random832 | if you do web browsing try disabling flash. flash _always_ takes up 100% of my CPU if i've got any number of tabs open [i really need to figure out a way to make it click to play] | 19:54 |
| Portugal | Random832: It's frustrating if you compare Windows and Ubuntu on the same Machine. I hate Windows, but Ubuntu isn't just fast enough. I think it might be something about my graphics card because the animations are not smooth and Full-Screen youTube videos play like if I had a 500GHz single-core processor | 19:56 |
| xangua | Portugal: fullscreen flash video sucks...well flash sucks in general in linux | 19:56 |
| === tm_ is now known as Guest88715 | ||
| Portugal | xangua, ok. But about the performance after all, it's just not great. Ubuntu Software Center is always crashing, Firefox takes seconds to open and even the workspace switcher animation is lagging! | 19:58 |

| ratcheer | Portugal: A lot of Youtube works with html5 | 20:00 |
| ratcheer | But not everything. | 20:00 |
| Portugal | MonkeyDust: I tried installing Xubuntu through Wubi but it gives me the Error: Root FileSystem not 'something....' specified | 20:00 |

| amews_aj-study | Why does wipe show a size of 14823232 on a 243 GB partition ? Isn't the number the size of the partition? There is a difference of factor 16384 - maybe block size or something ? | 20:01 |
| Portugal | MonkeyDust: Wubi is my Only Shot... I tried Mint4Win but it also doesn't work | 20:02 |
| Random832 | what is wipe amews_aj-study | 20:02 |
| Random832 | Portugal: you can't properly partition it? | 20:02 |
| amews_aj-study | utility that can be used to wipe files, partitions or entire hdd | 20:02 |
| Random832 | it's probably doing it in 16kb blocks | 20:03 |
| Meris | I'd like to disable head-parking on my WD Caviar Green HDD persistently. Not in firmware, but as a software setting. Does anyone know howto do this? | 20:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Portugal is this slow video also with wubi? | 20:03 |
| Portugal | Random832: No. I don't understand the installer and it doesn't give me the option to install it alongside Windows... | 20:03 |
| drawmeat | Q: I just up graded and now wine wont full screen one of my old windows games (chuzzle) Any ideas on how to fix this? | 20:03 |
| amews_aj-study | Can anyone confirm "wipe" is using 16 kb blocks ? I would like to be sure everything is fine. Can't find any documentation saying anything about it. | 20:03 |
| Random832 | MonkeyDust: wubi does let you boot to linux, it's not just a virtual machine, and it shouldn't have performance problems for stuff that doesn't hit the hard drive | 20:04 |
| Meris | Is there anyway to disable any games (both in advertisements and in search results)? | 20:04 |
| Meris | Is there anyway to disable any games (both in advertisements and in search results) in the Software Center? | 20:04 |
| Portugal | MonkeyDust: I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed nativelly last Christmas and it had the same kind of slowness. | 20:04 |
| Lil | What is the command to update to the latest version via. shell | 20:05 |
| Random832 | amews_aj-study: if you're worried, put something at the end of the disk and verify that it's gone after it runs | 20:05 |
| Random832 | personally i think wipe is overkill unless you've got the NSA after you | 20:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Meris i use adblock, flashblock and ghostery to that end | 20:05 |
| ratcheer | Portugal: Sorry for the slow response. I personally would just rather not watch Youtube than have Flash on my system. | 20:05 |
| Portugal | I have to keep Windows installed because I have my iTunes Library in there and I also have many iDevices that I need to manage | 20:05 |
| Portugal | ratcheer: Is there a YouTube video client besides MiniTube? | 20:06 |
| amews_aj-study | Random832, it does seem to be empty - but I would like to be sure, since the hdd might be sold to someone else afterwards. | 20:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Portugal i guess vlc handles streaming media | 20:06 |
| Meris | MonkeyDust, afaik those add-ons are exclusive to Firefox, they are useless for the software center. I'm trying to kick a gaming habit and I want as less temptation as possible. | 20:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Meris i use chromium | 20:06 |
| Portugal | MonkeyDust: I presume I would have a lot of work just to watch a YouTube video on VLC... | 20:07 |
| delac | anyone around who might know what style property does the orange border around active buttons? | 20:07 |
| Meris | MonkeyDust, again, Chromium is a browser, Software Center is not. My question topic was the Software Center, not a browser. | 20:07 |
| aleale97 | hey hey :D | 20:07 |
| ratcheer | Portugal: I don't know. I don't use anything called Minitube. | 20:07 |
| Meris | MonkeyDust, thanks for trying to help though. | 20:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Meris i missed a part of your initial question | 20:08 |
| brandon | help i cant mount my phone my pc | 20:08 |
| brandon | ! | 20:08 |
| Random832 | amews_aj-study: is that person an NSA agent? | 20:09 |
| Meris | Monkeydust, let me repeat my original question then: Is there anyway to disable any games (both in advertisements and in search results) in the Software Center? | 20:09 |
| brandon | it wont show up in the file manager do any o u now why? | 20:09 |
| Random832 | anyway, just put something in that space before running wipe - either wipe will run properly on that region or it won't touch it at all | 20:09 |
| Portugal | bradon: What phone is it? | 20:09 |
| brandon | samsung freeform 2 | 20:09 |
| amews_aj-study | Random832, Random, but most likely not - but does that really matter? I don't want someone to be able to restore data that could contain passwords or other personal data. | 20:09 |
| brandon | port samsung freeform 2 | 20:10 |
| amews_aj-study | I am not saying I want to run 42 wipes with different random write techniques, I just don't want to leave it simply reformatting the partition table. | 20:10 |
| delac | Meris: I tried to find the answer for the same propblem. Couldn't find. Same goes with the dashboard. I think Canonical is trying to make Ubuntu adware :) | 20:10 |
| Random832 | amews_aj-study: just use dd if=/dev/zero of=disk | 20:10 |
| Random832 | that's good enough for anyone who doesn't have an electron microscope | 20:11 |
| Portugal | bradon: sorry. I really don't know the answer. Maybe it requires a specific driver or software... | 20:11 |
| Random832 | using if=/dev/urandom might be good enough even if they do - stuff like shred and wipe is for the super paranoid | 20:11 |
| brandon | no becouse it has mount before! | 20:11 |
| brandon | !myphone wont mount help! | 20:12 |
| ubottu | brandon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:12 |
| Meris | delac, Canonical can certainly use the money. I just want to prevent the adverts and more importantly, the search results itself from displaying any games whatsoever. | 20:12 |
| guntbert | Lil: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 | 20:12 |
| brandon | ubotto i hate u | 20:12 |
| amews_aj-study | Random832, from what I read shred/wipe simply overwrites the hdd with random bits. I guess doing a single such pass is not paranoid ? | 20:12 |
| Portugal | haha | 20:12 |
| Portugal | What format is a Linux Hard Drive usually on. FAT32, right? | 20:13 |
| brandon | pooo | 20:13 |
| ratcheer | Portugal: No, usually ext3 or ext4 | 20:14 |
| Meris | Portugal, You *are* kidding, right? | 20:14 |
| DJones | Portugal: No, not FAT32, Ubuntu is normally EXT2/3/4 | 20:14 |
| brandon | ummmmmmmm !help! | 20:14 |
| Portugal | thanks ratcheer | 20:14 |
| gandhijee_ | hey, what the heck happened to ubuntu 12.04 | 20:14 |
| gandhijee_ | why the hell is the crosscompile env so damn broken? | 20:14 |
| brandon | i cannot mount my phone! | 20:14 |
| guntbert | !please | brandon | 20:14 |
| ubottu | brandon: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 20:14 |
| Random832 | amews_aj-study: well there are different degrees of paranoid - a single pass isn't that much more difficult than overwriting with zero, so it's not a big deal | 20:14 |
| Portugal | Meris: I don't go on the Ubuntu Support IRC chatrrom to joke | 20:14 |
| delac | Meris: yes, they could. Unfortunately I think they propably do not have any kind of preferences for the advertisement at the moment. They might be willing to do some if someone would propose that. | 20:14 |
| Random832 | but there are some people who insist on 25 of specific patterns and then multiple passes of randomness | 20:15 |
| guntbert | Portugal: no, the default file system is ext4 these days | 20:15 |
| brandon | guntburt please man just leave me alone | 20:15 |
| amews_aj-study | Random832, agreed, I wasn't looking for random bit overwrite. Zero would have been ok. I don't use linux as my primary OS, so I just searched for a way to wipe a disk in linux (livecd), and found the "wipe" utility. | 20:15 |
| kr3at0r | btrfs vs zfs | 20:16 |
| kr3at0r | which is fastest | 20:16 |
| DJones | !poll | kr3at0r | 20:16 |
| ubottu | kr3at0r: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:16 |

| baazigar | Hello, how to prevent ubuntu from going on sleep automatically?? | 20:20 |
| brandon | ubuntu 11.10 samsung freeform 2 | 20:20 |
| ikonia | baazigar: power managment menu | 20:20 |
| baazigar | I am cloning a repo and it sleeps in between. | 20:20 |
| brandon | baaz | 20:20 |
| IdleOne | !tab | brandon | 20:21 |
| ubottu | brandon: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:21 |
| brandon | go to the battery | 20:21 |
| Portugal | guntbert: What you mean by that? So, Wubi doesn't give me the real Ubuntu or What? | 20:21 |
| brandon | then power setting | 20:21 |
| brandon | then chang it | 20:21 |
| timothyjr | Iḿ having a problem with both chrome and firefox displaying some webpages as completely blank. I recently change network.http.accept-coding to true | 20:22 |
| brandon | Portugal, it is the real ubuntu | 20:22 |
| guntbert | Portugal: right, the whole installation is just inside one file in the windows file system - not too reliable :) | 20:22 |
| suprit_ | i have to install some packages on all the pcs during the time time of installatioin of linux so i want to create a bootable cd which will consist all the packages | 20:22 |
| baazigar | brandon, ikonia , the options say do nothing when idle. | 20:22 |
| ikonia | baazigar: that's a bit worrying | 20:22 |
| brandon | ok | 20:22 |
| Portugal | guntbert: But I want to dual boot and the installer doesn't let me do that for some reason | 20:22 |
| plivent | elllop | 20:23 |
| brandon | well idle to all | 20:23 |
| Meris | I'm trying to reduce the speed that Load Cycle Count (SMART parking value) is increasing on my Western Digital Caviar Green HDD | 20:23 |
| brandon | i guess people arnt gonna awnser my qeastion | 20:23 |
| Meris | I only own the thing less then a week, but my LCC is already on 6899 | 20:23 |
| guntbert | Portugal: sorry, I never tried the wubi path, why don't you download the iso for the live CD to try it out and evetually install it along windows | 20:24 |
| pvssanjeev | hi.. need help in getting the HDMI to work on UBUNTU 1204 | 20:24 |
| anders1138 | installing from iso works better than wubi | 20:24 |
| anders1138 | and faster | 20:24 |
| pvssanjeev | I am on DELL XPS L501X | 20:24 |
| Portugal | guntbert: I tried that but the installer doesn't give me the option to install Ubuntu along Windows | 20:25 |
| ikonia | Portugal: you need to have free/unallocated space on the disk | 20:25 |
| pvssanjeev | there seems be a problem with the nVIDIA drivers i guess | 20:25 |
| Portugal | ikonia, I have | 20:25 |
| Portugal | I have like 40GB and it would be 60 if I unninstalled Wubi | 20:26 |
| Portugal | ikonia | 20:26 |
| guntbert | Portugal: you booted the live CD and selected "install"? | 20:26 |
| Portugal | yes | 20:26 |
| pvssanjeev | hi | 20:26 |
| plivent | what do u recon is the best server os for a media server | 20:26 |
| Portugal | Then it only gave me 2 options: Erase all and install and Advanced Partition | 20:26 |
| Portugal | ikonia, I think that was it | 20:27 |
| pvssanjeev | anyone who can help with my HDMI issues | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Portugal: you have no unallocated space | 20:27 |
| anders1138 | yeah | 20:27 |
| anders1138 | boot a live session from a cd | 20:27 |
| Portugal | ikonia: NOOOO, I have 40 GB and it would be 60GB without Wubi | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Portugal: YEEEEEEES you're whole disk is allocated to the windows partition | 20:28 |
| anders1138 | and use gparted to unlocate sme space | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Portugal: that is "no unallocated" space | 20:28 |
| Portugal | ikonia, but on previous Ubuntu releases it gave me the option to install it along Windows and It did the partitioning right there, I didn't need to unnallocate space at all | 20:29 |
| anders1138 | yes | 20:29 |
| lJ6il | Hello there. My grub doesn't work correctly after a dual boot install ("no such partition"). I'd like to use boot-repair but it tells me this : "echoversion_or_g2slaunch: command not found" | 20:29 |
| lJ6il | does someone know what it is ? Google doesn't. | 20:29 |
| anders1138 | but unallocated space means unpartitioned space | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Portugal: you can argue this all you want, I'm trying to help you, I'm explaining the problem and what you need to do to resolve it, quouting previous versions at me, or saying how much free space windows has won't change that | 20:29 |
| Portugal | ikonia: Ok. What do I need to do? | 20:30 |
| pvssanjeev | lJ6il : try running the live CD | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Portugal: exactly what I told you approx 20 lines up | 20:30 |
| lJ6il | ok thanks pvssanjeev | 20:30 |
| anders1138 | you must shrink a partition from Windows | 20:31 |
| pvssanjeev | the bootconfig would have been corrupted | 20:31 |
| Portugal | Portugal: you need to have free/unallocated space on the disk: ikonia, this? | 20:31 |
| ikonia | Portugal: you need to shrink your windows partition from a liveCD so you have unallocated to space to install ubuntu to | 20:32 |
| pvssanjeev | Portugal: If u have windows.. u can try logging and shrinking ur volume there as well | 20:32 |
| ikonia | pvssanjeev: he can't do it from within windows as the partition will be in use | 20:32 |
| Portugal | ikonia and pvssanjeev. After the install, will I have the Windows bootloader or grub? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | Portugal: grub | 20:33 |
| anders1138 | ikonia: he can use Partition Manager in Win7, what Windows does he have? | 20:33 |
| pvssanjeev | Ikonia: i remember doing that in windows... i shall go with you | 20:33 |
| anders1138 | Portugal: yes | 20:33 |
| bwat47 | ikonia: with win vista/win7 its partition manager can resize/shrink ntfs partitions on the fly even when they are in use | 20:34 |
| ikonia | try it, it fails more often than not | 20:34 |
| bwat47 | i've done it many times :) | 20:34 |
| Portugal | ikonia, I really want the Windows bootloader because I'm still finding the right Distro And I would want to delete partitions and create new ones until I find the right one | 20:34 |
| ikonia | I would not resize any partition that is in use from any os | 20:34 |
| pvssanjeev | Portugal: If u r installing within windows... it would be WINDOWS BOOT LOADER. If this is a parallel it would be grub | 20:35 |
| ikonia | Portugal: I don't care any more - you can either a.) accept the help and advice b.) find reasons not to do it as you are doing | 20:35 |
| bwat47 | ikonia: trust me, I've done it MANY times. it does work | 20:35 |
| plivent | nonr | 20:35 |
| pvssanjeev | need some help on HDMI-UBUNTU-NVIDIA | 20:36 |
| Portugal | ikonia: c.) Install Linux Mint 13 Cinammon and keep the Windows Bootloader because I might not like that version and the LiveCD doesn't show me the real performance of the OS | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Portugal: linux mint uses grub | 20:37 |
| ikonia | Portugal: either way, I'm no longer interested, if you need help with mint the channel is on a different IRC network | 20:37 |
| HelloWorld321 | Would you recommend proprietary nVidia drivers or default Ubuntu OpenSource drivers, for an nVidia card? | 20:38 |
| ikonia | HelloWorld321: depends on the card and the support / performance you requrie | 20:38 |
| ikonia | require | 20:38 |
| Portugal | HelloWorld321: try the proprietary onne first, if you like it: keep. If not go with the opensource one | 20:38 |
| HelloWorld321 | I guess I'm most worried about stability, compatiblity and software upgrades. I've got a Windows box for gaming, though really if one is to have a dedicated gaming box, that's what consoles are for. But I digress. I'm mostly thinking down the road, which will I have less hassle with? | 20:40 |
| ikonia | HelloWorld321: again, depends on your card | 20:41 |
| timothyjr | I dont get it, firefox is serving up completely blank pages for a number of different sites. including ubuntuforums.org | 20:42 |
| bwat47 | HelloWorld321: sometimes proprietary drivers do break with big kernel/xorg updates, but they should be fine for the most part regarding updates, since ubuntu generally doesn't update those until the next version | 20:42 |
| jasonbourne | can anyone shed some light on how to get Windoze games to run on Ubuntu 12.04LTS or where I can find info on how to do it?? | 20:42 |
| Monkey_b | hey guys, what does it mean when i see a bunch of processes that say [fuser] defunct in my machine? | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | i have an odd issue (to me at least) with grub , it appears to be installed on the boot (main HDD) priority , but grub always lists the 2nd HDD as the deafult drive to auto boot if no selection is made in grub , both drives are sata ..the main drive is the priority in th BIOS. | 20:42 |
| Monkey_b | i must have like 100's of these | 20:42 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: 1.) it's called "Windows" not "windoze" | 20:42 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: 2.) I'd advise you not to depend on Wine to run games on linux, my view is that Windows games are designed to run on Windows, and trying to use them on other operating systems/depending on a solution is just trouble | 20:43 |
| Monkey_b | correction, 1000's of processes that say: 30642 ? Z 0:00 [fuser] <defunct> | 20:43 |
| jasonbourne | I like to call Billy Boy Gates junk Windoze.... | 20:43 |
| timothyjr | ikonia, when youŕe watching that little hourglass it feels like Windoze | 20:43 |
| Portugal | jasonbourne: PlayOnLinux, available at the Software Center | 20:43 |
| ikonia | timothyjr: it's called Windows | 20:43 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: I'd advise you to stay clear of PlayOnLinux and Wine as a solution for games | 20:43 |
| jasonbourne | ikonia - sorry but your wrong because I know it's possible just don't know how to do it... | 20:43 |
| timothyjr | I know what itś called | 20:43 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: what do you mean "I'm wrong" | 20:44 |
| jasonbourne | ikonia - you say its looking for trouble when I know that it's possible... | 20:44 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: I didn't say it wasn't possible | 20:44 |
| jagginess | jasonbourne, whine on #wine | 20:44 |
| jagginess | ^ | 20:44 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: there are abstraction layers tools such as "wine" (playonlinux is a front end to that) | 20:44 |
| bwat47 | it is possible via solutions like wine and playonlinux. games may or may not work well with them, check winhq for wine game compatability | 20:45 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: however depending on them is not a solution as not all games work, games can work badly, games can work fine one day, then not work at all the next day, hence depending on the solution is "looking for trouble" | 20:45 |
| HelloWorld321 | ikonia: It's an nVidia GT430 (VGA EVGA|01G-P3-1431-KR GT430 1G R) | 20:45 |
| ikonia | jasonbourne: the guys in #winehq can walk you through your wine journey should you choose to progress it | 20:45 |
| ikonia | HelloWorld321: you'll have to research it's compatability | 20:45 |
| jasonbourne | ikonia - exactly...so where do I go to get it running?? I had PlayOnLinux installed on this laptop when I had OpenSUSE on it but could not figure out how to get it running... | 20:46 |

| Portugal | alusion: UNet does work with most of the distroes | 21:02 |
| hector549 | I am compiling a test application which calls a method from libmath, despite a "-lm" argument on the command line, it errors out with undefined reference. | 21:02 |
| ikonia | hector549: why do you think that's a problem with gcc ? | 21:03 |
| bwat47 | alusion: it should work, just used it the other day to make an ubuntu liveusb. if it doesn't work for you there are other methods to make liveusb's though | 21:03 |
| hector549 | I don't think it is gcc, but the installation thereof. The same file compiles fine on other machines, and I cannot get code from mature projects to compile either. | 21:04 |
| ikonia | hector549: ok, so it's either going to be an incompatability between dependencies, a missing dependency or a bug in the code | 21:04 |
| Portugal | If you are using it to create a LiveUsb of Ubuntu, you rather use Startup Disk Creator which comes pre-installed with Ubuntu alusion | 21:04 |

| jagginess | (or some kind of "gambas" BASIC..) | 21:09 |
| jagginess | Portugal, I believe gambas3 is out.. i dont know if its in the repos | 21:09 |
| Portugal | jagginess: no, it's not | 21:10 |
| species | where have all the settings UI's gone in unity desktop? | 21:12 |
| Portugal | jagginess: Gambas 3.2 has been released on sourceforge | 21:12 |
| species | the screensaver pane has disappeared, cannot be navigated to from system settings | 21:12 |

| guntbert | species: stop that ranting in a support channel - it will not help to improve anything | 21:14 |

| Portugal | jagginess: I already have it through SourceForge, but thanks | 21:16 |
| species | there must be issues filed already? | 21:16 |
| Portugal | species. Do you have any questions? If not, byebye | 21:17 |
| jagginess | Portugal, should avoid sf for the moment.. because it's not always an out-of-box readiness... you want PPA , that way you can simply apt-get install it | 21:17 |
| MonkeyDust | species take a look at !brainstorm, maybe someone did | 21:17 |
| jagginess | Portugal, (it's 3.2 which is pretty recent in PPA) | 21:17 |
| species | right but these things used to be there | 21:17 |
| species | its not a new feature request | 21:18 |

| Guest61709 | hey guys | 21:19 |
| === Guest61709 is now known as Bijan588 | ||
| Bijan588 | I have a question | 21:20 |
| jagginess | Portugal, after you do an apt-get update (as instructions from the ppa site), you can do apt-cache search gambas, and find the package name (probably it's gambas3-- so it would be apt-get install gambas3) | 21:20 |
| Bijan588 | what could cause consistant filesystem corruptions? | 21:20 |
| jagginess | Bijan588, which linux filesystem? | 21:21 |
| bekks | Bijan588: There are numerous causes for a filesystem to get corrupted. | 21:21 |
| Bijan588 | EXT2 | 21:21 |
| hector549 | Bijan588: large magnets? | 21:21 |
| kanliot | bad cable, overheating cpu | 21:21 |
| Bijan588 | Its a macbook g4 | 21:21 |
| bwat47 | you should consider a journaling filesystem if you are experiencing corruption | 21:21 |
| Bijan588 | ibook* | 21:21 |
| jagginess | Bijan588, it could be hardware | 21:21 |
| Bijan588 | After an fsdisk check the problem seems to go away, so its hard to day what the issue is. | 21:22 |
| jagginess | Bijan588, maybe the drive was overheating.. does the drive support s.m.a.r.t ? | 21:23 |
| Bijan588 | No\ | 21:23 |
| species | ooh heres a problem... | 21:23 |
| species | ive searched for "screensaver" in the untity interface and its run xscreensaver | 21:23 |
| species | which is now telling me it wants to disable gnome screensaver | 21:23 |
| auronandace | Bijan588: are you unmounting the filesystem properly? | 21:24 |
| DJones | species: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64086/how-can-i-change-or-install-screensavers | 21:24 |
| species | well, this is a defect i think | 21:25 |
| species | am i wrong in suggesting that the first search option for a term such as "screensaver" should not be xscreensaver? | 21:25 |
| species | given that gnome has moved over to gnome screensaver? | 21:25 |
| bekks | species: Why do you think that search results have to semantically in the order you want them or even sorted? | 21:26 |
| species | xscreensaver is no longer the default right>? | 21:26 |
| numberto | tmux shortcuts not working in my terminal, does anybody knows how to troubleshoot that? | 21:27 |
| species | bekks: actually, its the only result if you search for "screensaver" | 21:27 |
| bwat47 | species: its only default in xubuntu, ubuntu uses gnome-screensaver by default | 21:28 |
| species | should there be a UI for it? | 21:28 |
| Eric_ | Erm, anyone knows how do you solve the modem driver problem? | 21:28 |
| bwat47 | species: there is in the gnome control center, doesn't show up in unity dash | 21:28 |
| species | i think that is a defect. | 21:29 |
| species | im new to unity, and I understand that its still in its early stages, but a lot seems to be missing | 21:29 |
| MonkeyDust | species maybe it's you, not unity | 21:30 |
| bwat47 | species: actually I don't see an entry for it in gnome control center anymore either | 21:30 |
| species | MonkeyDust: im certain im not the only one in the world who uses a UI to configure screensavers, for example | 21:30 |
| bwat47 | think was settings for it there in either 11.04 or 11.10, but not in 12.01 i guess | 21:30 |
| pseudonymous | How in the nine hells do I get my damned USB soundcard working, PulseAudio is a damned PEST :( | 21:30 |
| bwat47 | pseudonymous: usually all you should have to do is set it as output in the sound settings, unless something is weong | 21:31 |
| Dr_willis | if its supported by alsa | 21:31 |
| Mattias | pseudonymous: you install alsa :P | 21:32 |
| MonkeyDust | species i, for one, don't use screensavers | 21:32 |
| jagginess | pseudonymous, i've used usb audio headset without problem.. same module may apply here.. sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio<enter>, then relogin | 21:32 |
| species | MonkeyDust: how do you turn them off with a fresh install of 12.04? | 21:32 |
| xangua | species http://shuffleos.com/3176/how-to-enable-screensavers-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelt/ | 21:32 |
| Dr_willis | gnome has had very minimal screensaver/screensaver configs.. for some time now.. theres xscreensavers if you want more control | 21:32 |
| Mattias | I had to get PulseAudio because it was the easiest way to get both mic input together with "what you hear" on my usb headset | 21:32 |
| bwat47 | species: do you just want to turn off screen blanking/locking? | 21:32 |
| bwat47 | species: there are options for those under "brightness and lock" | 21:32 |
| species | bwat47: i found that yeah | 21:33 |
| Eric_ | Everytime I connect my USB modem, the entry appears in the connection list for a second then dissapears again. A little later a system error dialog appears stating that 'modem' thingy has crashed | 21:33 |
| xangua | (16:25:46) species: given that gnome has moved over to gnome screensaver? - and gnome3 no loger has a screensaver, or at least not one that i am aware off | 21:33 |
| species | MonkeyDust: right now, getting basic settings changed requires command line usage and this means I cant honestly recommend 12.04 to my parents, for example | 21:33 |
| pseudonymous | how do I set it as output ? Regardless of which sound device I select from the list (btw, usb sound card shown twice...), whenever I click test it shows the test dialog as being from my INTERNAL sound card | 21:33 |
| eb_ | I wondered if I might toss out a boot loader problem I'm having (that I brought on myself!). I have a MacBook onto which I've installed rEFIt and Ubuntu 12.04. Dual boots just fine. I intentionally left open a 50GB section of free space for a third OS. I installed Sabayon linux into that just now. It finished and when I reboot I get the usual OS selector from rEFIt. But whenever I pick a linux OS - Sabayon or Ubuntu, the OS halts, te | 21:33 |
| MonkeyDust | species i'm not the right person, to me, the command line IS basic :) | 21:34 |
| species | MonkeyDust: not if you are my mother | 21:34 |
| bwat47 | pseudonymous: have you tried rebooting or restarting pulseaudio? with my usb headset I've had that issue randomly crop up until I do that | 21:35 |
| bwat47 | pseudonymous: try running pulseaudio -k and then selecting it again | 21:35 |

| usr13_ | jcodybaker: Awesome! | 22:55 |
| jcodybaker | usr13_: Any favor place I can donate $10? | 22:55 |
| vadi2 | How can I remove a package that has unmet dependencies? http://pastebin.com/iWeXvDu0 | 22:56 |
| usr13_ | NastyNaz: A little... some cli but that's about it. | 22:56 |
| superuser | usr13_ im looking i use many diffrent desktop enviroments, so what display manager should i chose? | 22:56 |
| usr13_ | jcodybaker: yes | 22:56 |
| ikonia | vadi2: it won't have installed if it's not got met dependencies | 22:56 |
| vadi2 | Can you look at the paste? It is installed | 22:56 |
| hector549 | blubee: Open the existing cloned directory, don't import. | 22:56 |
| usr13_ | http://saint-annes.org/ | 22:57 |
| MonkeyDust | vadi2 what ikonia says, but try sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:57 |
| ikonia | vadi2: ah, you're using a PPA that's messed you up | 22:57 |
| usr13_ | jcodybaker: (Button is on right side) | 22:57 |
| John__K | Ubuntu is hard, can anyone help me? | 22:57 |
| vadi2 | ikonia: yeah | 22:57 |
| ikonia | vadi2: then you should have paid attention when installing | 22:57 |
| MonkeyDust | John__K that's called 'learning' | 22:57 |
| vadi2 | ikonia: skipping that, how do I remove it? | 22:57 |
| usr13_ | jcodybaker: Thanks in advance. | 22:57 |
| ikonia | vadi2: remove the crda package | 22:57 |
| blubee | hector549 thanks for the tip, but i just came over from windows and dont quite understand how to do that on ubuntu | 22:57 |
| superuser | if you think ubuntu is hard you should try slackware, its much easyer.. | 22:57 |
| vadi2 | Ahh | 22:58 |
| SkippersBoss | !ask | John__K | 22:58 |
| ubottu | John__K: 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 | 22:58 |
| jcodybaker | usr13_: Thank you. Have a good afternoon. | 22:58 |
| usr13_ | U2 | 22:58 |
| John__K | blah blah blah but there's this problem blah blah blah that won't let me blah blah I need you to be my help bitch. | 22:58 |

| ikonia | vadi2: remove wireless-crda | 22:59 |
| ikonia | vadi2: come on, it says what's going on in the output | 22:59 |
| vadi2 | "sudo apt-get remove crda wireless-crda" failed.. | 22:59 |
| usr13_ | superuser: Correct | 22:59 |
| species | NastyNaz: some of it will; any unix stuff you have learned will, but apple have their own proprietary user interface | 22:59 |
| hector549 | blubee: Versus something like VS, eclipse does not operate on a project file. It just opens a set of directories and runs with it. Easiest way, if you already have the project cloned, is to do 'ln -s /full/path/to/project/root' while in ~/workspace | 23:00 |
| ikonia | vadi2: I'm sure it said more than "failed" | 23:00 |
| speakon | kanilot - installed it and didnt help | 23:00 |
| vadi2 | ikonia: yes, it said linux images depend on it, but it won't be installed | 23:00 |
| species | NastyNaz: you wont be able to run gnome or other X11 desktops on it without serious work | 23:00 |
| ikonia | vadi2: ahh so you've updated your kernel too | 23:00 |
| blubee | hector549 thank you, i will go attempt to do that | 23:00 |
| vadi2 | That's what I'm trying to undo. | 23:00 |
| species | NastyNaz: although, you can dual boot; my experience has been that its somewhat uncertain to work well | 23:01 |
| vadi2 | Yeah, I got the 3.5 kernel - the computer has a very, very slow HD and supposedly new drivers were to fix it. They didn't | 23:01 |
| ikonia | vadi2: I would suggest looking at ppa-purge, although I doubt it will work as you've altered quite a lot of the base system | 23:01 |
| NastyNaz | species: are there any real advantages to keeping the mac os on it then? Is there any reason for me to try and learn to use it? | 23:01 |
| vadi2 | I didn't add any ppa's, I've only run a script which installed kernel + that wireless. | 23:01 |
| ikonia | vadi2: I doubt your computer had a slow hard disk | 23:01 |
| vadi2 | ikonia: ... | 23:01 |
| ikonia | vadi2: the io subsystem hasn't really changed in years | 23:02 |
| species | NastyNaz: there is not a lot to learn, its very simple | 23:02 |
| species | some people find it too simple for comfort | 23:03 |
| species | NastyNaz: but i think this conversation is off topic for an ubuntu channel | 23:03 |
| brontosaurusrex | NastyNaz, apps | 23:03 |
| bombay | ciao | 23:03 |
| superuser | what if i sudo rm / | 23:03 |

| MonkeyDust | superuser a superuser should know what does | 23:04 |
| MonkeyDust | it* | 23:04 |
| usr13_ | NastyNaz: I dont see much point in it. To me, Linux is kinda like a Mac on steroids (so Mac not that exciting to me...). | 23:04 |
| usr13_ | ... kinda limited.. | 23:04 |
| superuser | i know what it dose im just testing you guys | 23:05 |
| ikonia | superuser: then don't | 23:05 |
| ikonia | superuser: people could see that and run it | 23:05 |
| species | NastyNaz: some years back I went with macs because i was having real trouble getting drivers to work; i was learning game programming at the time. | 23:05 |
| superuser | my apologizes to anyone who just broke there computer | 23:05 |
| vadi2 | What a dumb "test". | 23:06 |
| ikonia | superuser: please don't mess around in here, suggesting that sort of thing or slackware | 23:06 |
| usr13_ | superuser: Just don't say stupid stuff | 23:06 |
| species | NastyNaz: ive since switched to ubuntu for my job, web dev, using windows for game development (which is just my hobby) | 23:06 |
| superuser | dose anyone need help? | 23:07 |
| === jerico is now known as Guest24382 | ||
| usr13_ | no | 23:07 |

| vadi2 | Yeah, like I was. I've finally fixed the problem. | 23:07 |
| superuser | mabie there shy. | 23:07 |
| ikonia | superuser: please stop messing around, please. | 23:07 |
| vadi2 | dpkg --force-depends --purge on both kernel and wireless-crda, then installed wireless-crda again, and now it's all fine | 23:07 |
| NastyNaz | species: I like ubuntu so I think I'll stick with it. Only reason I got the mac was because of the resolution so as long as it works with ubuntu I don't see a reason to use OSX. | 23:07 |
| species | NastyNaz: i dont yet know what you actually *do* | 23:08 |
| pckchem | It is very nice hardware.... over priced IMO.... but nice. | 23:08 |

| ikonia | MonkeyDust: it's core utils that has protection built in, but there are situations where it won't work | 23:10 |
| species | NastyNaz: my biggest issue with OS X compared to ubuntu (well, debian based distros in general) is the lack of a suitable package manager | 23:11 |

| magma | hi, how can I put my ubuntu installation on minimal? | 23:12 |
| magma | I don't want most of the packages | 23:12 |
| rzaar | How can I tell which MTA I am running on ubuntu? | 23:13 |
| usr13_ | magma: Just start uninstalling stuff. | 23:13 |
| OneZeroOne | Test, test... | 23:13 |
| pckchem | magma, easy solution is to pop open software center, flip to installed tab, and start uninstalling anything that looks unnecessary. | 23:13 |
| OneZeroOne | Oh good. It wasn't letting me talk earlier. | 23:13 |
| magma | pckchem: thanks. I will do that :P | 23:14 |
| OneZeroOne | Hokay. So. I'm resurrecting an old desktop machine to play around with web stuff. Installed Ubuntu server, unaware that...well, it doesn't exactly have a GUI. | 23:14 |
| xjohnthomasx | Can anyone help me get my boot to work?? See http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092360/ | 23:15 |
| pckchem | magma, feel free to come back and ask about anything that looks unfamiliar. You can do some damage there if you're not careful ;) | 23:15 |
| xjohnthomasx | Everytime I boot it dumps me to a grub cli | 23:15 |
| NastyNaz | OneZeroOne: lol | 23:15 |
| xjohnthomasx | But I know it's nearly correct and good | 23:15 |
| OneZeroOne | Tried burning nice, friendly vanilla Ubuntu to disc, tried booting to that hoping to just install regular Ubuntu instead | 23:15 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: Why would you expect a server to have a GUI? | 23:15 |
| OneZeroOne | I've never messed with servers before. I wasn't sure what to expect | 23:16 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: Ok, fair enough.... | 23:16 |
| OneZeroOne | It's an OS. As far as I knew, OS's have had GUI's since the 90's. I'll be the first to admit I'm not SUPER-advanced. | 23:16 |
| pckchem | Haha, lesson one, they don't always have GUI's. | 23:16 |
| OneZeroOne | So I see. | 23:16 |
| microm | I cannot get the maven/eclipse plugin to work (m2eclipse), I install it but there is no Wizard to create a maven project. Any ideas? | 23:16 |
| OneZeroOne | Anyway, now I can't seem to make it boot to my nice, comfortable, regular Ubuntu boot disc. | 23:17 |
| pckchem | You should be able to stack a GUI on it though, let me hunt for a wiki article I'm pretty sure exists. | 23:17 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: So, how did you do with regular Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| OneZeroOne | Oh? | 23:17 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: You got it all installed, right? | 23:17 |
| OneZeroOne | Nope. I can't seem to boot to the regular Ubuntu disc. Checked BIOS boot sequence and it looks fine, but it's like it's not seeing the optical drive anymore or somethning | 23:18 |
| NastyNaz | Is there anything cool I can do with an ubuntu server with loads of spare cpu cycles and bandwidth? Besides SETI of course :) | 23:18 |
| ikonia | NastyNaz: turn it off and save the planet | 23:18 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: check the disk ... md5 | 23:18 |
| NastyNaz | ikonia: I need it running for webserver/compiling | 23:18 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: md5sum | 23:18 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: Then google it. | 23:19 |
| OneZeroOne | usr13_: one sec. | 23:19 |
| ikonia | NastyNaz: right, so don't make it work harder and draw more power | 23:19 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: Google the checksum | 23:19 |
| na-utusan | OneZeroOne: just boot to the server and then add the GUI | 23:19 |
| tking | i have noticed this info stuff popping up like 2 times today https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/show.png, i am english, from UK and dont know how to stop te arabic info https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/show.png | 23:19 |
| na-utusan | install ubuntu-desktop | 23:19 |
| NastyNaz | ikonia: I don't want to get in to economics, but I pay for the power and also pay for the harm I'm doing to the environment. I don't mind. | 23:19 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: First off, what did you download? Ubuntu 12.04? | 23:20 |
| pckchem | OneZeroOne: If you want to just install vanilla ubuntu, sometimes I have better luck with the alternate disk than the livedisk. | 23:20 |
| xjohnthomasx | I just tried this.. do you think it will work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092369/ | 23:20 |
| GeekSquid | tking: you need to configure your locale ... /msg ubottu !locale for more info | 23:21 |
| OneZeroOne | usr13_: just used the "Get Ubuntu now" link on the site, whichever version that is. I think it's 12.04 though | 23:21 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: checksum? (show us..) | 23:22 |
| OneZeroOne | Working on it | 23:23 |
| GeekSquid | OneZeroOne: you could run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... that would turn your server into a GUI | 23:23 |
| usr13_ | GeekSquid: I think the server is history. | 23:24 |
| OneZeroOne | Not getting anything when I run that command. Just sits there. | 23:25 |
| usr13_ | GeekSquid: Well, maybe not... OneZeroOne ? | 23:25 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Eeh, you don't install ubuntu-desktop on a server O_O | 23:25 |
| GeekSquid | HiddenKnowledge: you can too | 23:25 |
| HiddenKnowledge | You can.. But that defeats the purpose.. | 23:25 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: It takes a little bit. | 23:25 |
| OneZeroOne | Okay. Waiting patiently. | 23:26 |
| GeekSquid | HiddenKnowledge: OneZeroOne doesn't want a CLI | 23:26 |
| rzaar | Hi, how can I tell which MTA I am running? | 23:26 |
| OneZeroOne | What's a CLI? | 23:26 |
| GeekSquid | OneZeroOne: command line interpreter | 23:26 |
| ikonia | rzaar: ubuntu uses postfix by default | 23:26 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: md5sum ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso ? | 23:26 |
| HiddenKnowledge | GeekSquid: Then why would he even install it using the server installation? | 23:26 |
| rzaar | ikonia: but what if it was running exim, how would I know? | 23:27 |
| hats | Hi all. I'm having a hell of a time installing restricted nvidia drivers on a xbmcbuntu box, could someone point me toward a good step by step guide? I haven't installed them via ssh before. | 23:27 |
| HiddenKnowledge | And I would use xubuntu or kubuntu instead of ubuntu then, if it's for a server. | 23:27 |
| OneZeroOne | HiddenKnowledge: because I'm an idiot (read: n00b) and didn't know that servers don't have GUIs | 23:27 |
| ikonia | rzaar: you'd have installed exim....so you'd know you'd installed exim | 23:27 |
| ikonia | rzaar: you'd also see it in the process list, and you'd also see the open socket and the process connected to it | 23:27 |
| Anxi80 | I tried setting update-alternatives for java but it says none are available | 23:27 |
| blubee | ok guys i created a systemlink from my eclipse workspace linking to the cloned svn trunk, but eclipse package explorer doesn't show any packages. Also if i attempt to import the projects w/o making a local copy, i get an error "Resource 'project name' already exists. | 23:27 |
| usr13_ | Enough about server install, he wants a Desktop System. | 23:27 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Because the normal ubuntu uses gnome which is pretty bloated for a server | 23:27 |
| baazigar | hello, i get error when i try sudo apt-get build-dep scribus.<<<<Put some source URIs in sources.list.>>>>> | 23:28 |
| GeekSquid | HiddenKnowledge: normal ubuntu does not use GNOME ... Unity is the new Window manager .... you can install Gnome if you want | 23:28 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Ah, true. It's still bloated though. | 23:28 |
| OneZeroOne | Well, I know I'm about to get laughed out of the room, but the end target is just a Minecraft server to fart around in | 23:28 |
| HiddenKnowledge | For a server, that is. | 23:28 |
| Areckx | Has anyone tried using cinelerra? | 23:29 |
| baazigar | hello, i get error when i try sudo apt-get build-dep scribus.<<<<Put some source URIs in sources.list.>>>>> | 23:29 |
| Areckx | I have been using a bunch of video editors and they are all AGGRIVATING | 23:29 |
| OneZeroOne | Beyond "I'd like a Minecraft server and an OS that actually has a graphical interface," I'm pretty much open to whatever suggestions you guys want to throw at me | 23:29 |
| Areckx | I just want to be able to cut out clips from a video file and reorder them, but every editor I try to use is very annoying when I want to do that | 23:29 |
| ikonia | OneZeroOne: just install a gui, it's not a problem, whatever desktop you like, install it | 23:29 |
| Areckx | I'm trying to make an AMV | 23:30 |
| ikonia | OneZeroOne: simple solution | 23:30 |
| OneZeroOne | Works for me. | 23:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Areckx have you tried openshot? | 23:30 |
| tking | hello community! | 23:30 |
| usr13_ | OneZeroOne: I would suggest xfce xubuntu-desktop | 23:30 |
| Areckx | MonkeyDust:: that one kept crashing | 23:30 |
| baazigar | hello, i get error when i try sudo apt-get build-dep . Put some source URIs in sources.list. How to solve this error? I cannot solve it. | 23:30 |
| GeekSquid | OneZeroOne: you might want to look at this http://minecraft.codeemo.com/ | 23:31 |
| usr13_ | baazigar: ON what package? | 23:31 |
| Areckx | MonkeyDust:: and was still very annoying when I just wanted to select two different time periods and cut out a simple clip | 23:31 |
| baazigar | usr13_, scribus. | 23:31 |
| HiddenKnowledge | OneZeroOne: If you need any help setting it up, you can pm me at any time :) | 23:31 |
| OneZeroOne | usr13_ Yeah, I know a little bit about xfce, and that seems to be what everyone recommends when you want the interface to take up as little system resources as possible | 23:31 |
| baazigar | usr13_, is it package base error? | 23:32 |
| glebihan | baazigar, in the software sources properties, check "source code" checkbox | 23:32 |
| SkippersBoss | OneZeroOne, you mentioned old destop. HiddenKnowledge suggestion might have Some merit regarding the spec of this machine | 23:32 |
| usr13_ | baazigar: Give the exact command you used. | 23:32 |
| baazigar | sudo apt-get build-dep scribus | 23:32 |
| Areckx | I am usually very patient with computer programs, but video editing seems to be really annoying. I just want to cut out clips and order them | 23:32 |
| baazigar | glebihan, where is software sources properties? | 23:33 |
| glebihan | baazigar, you can access it from the software center | 23:33 |
| GeekSquid | Areckx: use gopchop to cut them apart, then bring them into the editor... seems to work better for me | 23:33 |
| usr13_ | on the phone... | 23:33 |
| glebihan | baazigar, or launch the "software-properties-gtk" command | 23:34 |
| baazigar | glebihan, i checked it, still i am getting this error.??? | 23:35 |
