[00:00] good evening [00:00] i1ve got s problem, [00:00] linusBD: Sure is. [00:00] 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] initiating my system [00:00] husker: Please link to the full tutorial / guide you're following. [00:01] linusBD: Say it all on one line so that it doesn't get fragmented.... [00:01] 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] Jordan_U, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1493073 [00:01] Jordan_U, #8 [00:01] error: no such partition [00:01] it goes to grub rescue [00:01] Jordan_U, Article 8 [00:01] what can i do? [00:02] linusBD: Do you have more than one hard drive? [00:02] akr, not sure you can. its a lightdm/login manager setting to auto login the user after a set amount of time. [00:02] no [00:02] [snake]: wrapping my head around gtk and window placement breaks me [00:02] akr, or else im conrused as about what you are asking. [00:02] i have 7 and and ubuntu on my driv [00:03] !enter | linusBD [00:03] linusBD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:03] 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] just formatted the ubuntu drive to reinstall [00:04] it do not boot even the windows [00:04] 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] 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 === Zyewni is now known as Don [00:05] 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] i must get the windows cd again? [00:05] akr, You made a new user with the same name as the old? === Don is now known as Guest44104 [00:05] linusBD, theres other ways to reinstall the windows mbr. #windows will know more. [00:06] i had windows in one partition and ubuntu in another, i've formatted the ubuntu partition [00:06] akr, you say 'login prompt' you mean the LightDM Login screen? === Guest44104 is now known as Zyewni [00:06] akr: a command line prompt or a graphical image [00:06] now it doesn't even boot windows [00:06] 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... [00:07] 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] hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? [00:07] 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] wiped it out [00:07] wiped it out.. could mean format.. or delete the partition... [00:07] it's now part of the windows partition [00:07] akr: wait, backup ... what do you mean you used the same username and password .... [00:07] 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.... [00:08] akr: oh, creating a new one with the OLD name? [00:08] linusBD, if you no longer want Ubunt/Linux - then you need to fix the windows boot loader. [00:08] yes [00:08] linusBD: OK. Were you planning to install Ubuntu again, or do you just want Windows? [00:08] akr, thats the LightDM Login Screen. [00:08] but I rebooted before making it [00:08] akr: okay, um [00:08] yes the login screen [00:08] i wanna install it again, but i must fix the windows bootloader [00:08] akr: sorry I missed part of that .. what's the problem you're having [00:08] do i need the cd? [00:08] akr: oh, you probably locked yourself out of root access [00:08] linusBD: Just install Ubuntu again. That should fix grub. [00:08] linusBD, Why? If you need to fix the windows MBR. you need some cd to boot to fix it. [00:08] 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 [00:09] linusBD: what happens when you try to boot windows [00:09] hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? [00:09] akr: that is mildly confusing. o.O [00:09] akr, so it auto-relogs the user back in? [00:09] akr: oh I see. [00:09] i does not boot, it goes directly to grub rescue [00:09] akr: yah, what he said ... does it auto relogin or just let you login once you put user [00:10] media: Just go to the video settings, (the GUI menu), and it should be obvious what needs to be done. [00:10] linusBD, whats the 'prompt' it goes to in this 'grub rescue' ? [00:10] linusBD: can you boot into u buntu though? [00:10] just that grub rescue> [00:10] i have no boot by now [00:11] 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] 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] linusBD: so when you boot, ALL you get is grub rescue? [00:11] linusBD, if you are going to reinstall Ubuntu, then just do so [00:11] Jordan_U, can you say me what chan.c? [00:11] 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] akr: so, deleting / recreating users isn't going to help. You need to fix your login preferences. [00:12] Dr_willis: eh, I could go either way. It is nice. [00:12] 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] 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] is there any command on the grub rescue to boot up? [00:12] akr: did you delete /home/user or /home/user/* [00:12] akr, just deleteing the FILES in the users home - is not the same as deleteing the user.. [00:12] linusBD: No. [00:12] Dr_willis: I know, I used the User Account gui to delete the account and all files [00:12] k thanks [00:12] akr: oh okay [00:12] now that is weird. [00:13] linusBD, just boot the Ubuntu cd and reinstall [00:13] linusBD: You're welcome. [00:13] akr: You deleted a user account? How many users did you have at the time? [00:13] I've played with the User preferences don't use a password and use a password in the User GUI nothing works [00:13] I think he was just trying to fix one [00:13] 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] usr13__: I already explained it :) [00:13] akr: dunno, you could force reinstall lightdm, but I really DOUBT that'd change anything [00:13] this appears to be a bug [00:13] You need a config file reset, somewhere [00:14] one sec [00:14] Hmm [00:14] akr: pastebin /etc/lightdm/users.conf [00:14] 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] akr: actually pastebin all three of the conf files in there [00:14] Hey all, thanks for the help. I'm out [00:14] usr13__: he made a temporary user [00:15] beandog: O [00:15] usr13__: original -> temp -> deleted original -> temp -> recreated original -> back to new (original) [00:15] yah [00:15] don't worry, I'm following him. :) [00:16] akr: if your config isn't affiliated with the user account, it's with the display manager [00:17] 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] http://postimage.org/image/70brwbixh/full/ [00:17] hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? Plz PM [00:17] akr: yah I'm following you. You deleted your user configs, so it's a problem with the DM. Pastebin those files. [00:18] akr: nopaste /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [00:18] etc. [00:18] beandog: pastebinit .... [00:19] or that, I guess [00:19] akr: pastebinit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf #And show us the resulting URL [00:20] ah, nevermind - there is the up keyword in the interface settings that does what I need [00:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1090778/ [00:20] Anyone know if CS4 works in Wine? If only Adobe would get their ---- together. [00:21] akr: okay now we're getting somewhere [00:21] k [00:21] akr: what version are you on [00:21] brent_: I thought Adobe products were ported to Unix for OSX support? Why need Wine? [00:21] 12.04LTS [00:21] Okay [00:22] akr: make a copy of that file somewhere, then edit it (with sudo) and delete *all* the lines except for the last 2 and the first 1 [00:22] <|Long|> hi folks, i need some help plz...i has scheduling crontab's jobs under root account and it does not executed from the time scheduled, is there any log or somewhere i can look for it error? [00:22] akr: then do sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart and see what that does (which will kill your login X11 session) [00:22] Your saying the osx versions will work under 12.04? [00:22] 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] Jordan_U: Aww :( [00:22] brent_: ^^ [00:22] *snap [00:23] OS X is BSD [00:23] So you can run BSD apps on there, if you enjoy pain I suppose ... [00:23] lol [00:23] beandog: ok done; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1090782/ [00:23] Is there a reason that I should install two eSATA cards with the same chipsets? [00:23] akr: kk, now restart it [00:24] jgrevich: uh, because you want to? [00:24] 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] and it will only use one driver? [00:24] beandog: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart or log out? [00:24] either one works by itself, but when both are installed they seem to interfere with each other [00:24] akr: first one [00:24] k [00:24] beandog: sorry, should should be "should not" [00:24] jgrevich: oh, no, no reason. It's a good thing. [00:25] I hope he realized that was gonna kill his session ... [00:25] oh well, easier to ask for forgiveness and all [00:25] 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] jgrevich: really. well. hmm. that sucks. [00:25] or is it better to just manually edit all of the files? [00:25] i've been through 4 different esata cards with PM capabilities and have only gotten the si3132 to work reliably [00:26] jgrevich: which one is giving you problems? [00:27] hi all, I'm having a problem with connecting to a plasma tv, can anyone suggest a channel to get help? Plz PM [00:28] 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] jgrevich: hmm. that is odd. [00:28] you would think it'd be the same [00:28] *work the same === _cb is now known as _cb_afk [00:29] 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] beandog: at least this get's past the post screen, others were worse :) [00:29] Hey can anyone help me out with this? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9542654/damnyouscreen.png It looks like screen/byobu is malfunctioning, so I tried to do an apt-get remove screen, and rebooted and tis still there. [00:29] 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] Hello Ubuntu users? [00:30] 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] then i'll start again with both cards present [00:30] beandog: there is another pcie slot that I can try with it. I am currently using 2 of the 3or4 avail [00:30] 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? [00:31] beandog: no bios tweaking, i'm only using them as controller cards and am using mdadm to handle the raid [00:31] beandog: bios is set at AHCI [00:31] jgrevich: okay. [00:31] jgrevich: so they are just SATA cards, not fake RAID SATA cards? [00:31] Ziber: The Ubuntu installer should ask you which filesystem to format the installation partition with from quite a list of options [00:31] I JUST HACK NETFLIX IF ANY ONE WANN FREE ACC [00:32] !ot | Generic [00:32] Generic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:32] ? [00:32] Alright got it im ubunty user [00:32] 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] Generic, wrong network, let alone channel [00:32] beandog: I feel like there was some sort of clash that occurred with both drives were present. [00:33] 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] jgrevich: I don't see how the firmware on the cards being different should affect things ... I mean .. hmm. I dunno. [00:33] "no root filesystem is defined." [00:33] 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] hi everyone! [00:34] highfever666: Hello === Garr255_ is now known as Garr255 [00:34] 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] 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] jgrevich: well, you're gonna have to try something, eventually. :T [00:34] jgrevich: I would bet on having the same firmware, in both cards. [00:34] 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] beandog: one is 7.5.0.7 (9/2008), the other is 7.7.03 (9/2009) [00:34] 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 [00:35] beandog: right, I guess I'll follow the path of least resistance/invasion :) [00:35] 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] beandog: thanks for the tips! [00:35] 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 [00:36] jgrevich: seriously though, FIRST thing I would do is play the shell game with the PCI slot configuration ..... it does work sometimes [00:36] beandog: I concur, I have far more faith in ubuntu than all these bios and shotty 3rd party vendors [00:36] jgrevich: also go into the BIOS and make sure you're not turning on anything optimized. [00:36] beandog: I'll give that a try. it takes the least amount of work too [00:36] beandog: optimized as in? [00:36] jgrevich: and while you're in there, disable things like serial port, parallel port, etc. [00:36] jgrevich: anything that would mess with the IRQs [00:37] beandog: good idea, i did not do that [00:37] jgrevich: chances are you haven't, but if you're a ricer, you'd know what I meant. :) [00:37] 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] Well, in theory. [00:37] Don't quote me on that last one. [00:38] In theory the theory is theoritically sound. ;) [00:38] jgrevich: but yah, at the very least (or most) you'll be completely safe disabling serial and printer ports. [00:38] jgrevich: be really careful, of course, if you're going to upgrade mobo bios [00:38] good luck :) [00:38] Im not even sure if my current desktop box has serial or pararallel ports. ;) [00:39] Dr_willis: regardless, almost every BIOS ships with the features, and enabled === owner_ is now known as Guest30738 [00:39] BIOS is one piece of software that neeeeeever changes [00:40] Dr_willis: You can always get usb->serial/parallel [00:40] * Dr_willis wonders whatever happened to that Mini-Linux on the MB/bios feature from a few years back. [00:40] Dr_willis: its still around. [00:40] anyone: Hey can anyone help me out with this? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9542654/damnyouscreen.png It looks like screen/byobu is malfunctioning, so I tried to do an apt-get remove screen, and rebooted and tis still there. [00:41] genii-around, not even sure what id do with it if i had one. :) I thossed out my "Serial Terminal" a few years back.. [00:41] beandog: I''m not a ricer, btu I think i know what you mean :) [00:41] Dr_willis: http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot [00:41] hows fglrx and Gnome 3 on percise? [00:41] i'm thinking of making the switch. [00:41] Chamunks, fglrx depends on the exact chipset. [00:41] I probably shouldn't even flash that URL in here ... [00:41] is it still horribly glitchy [00:41] beandog: that makes sense, I never thought of turning such things off in the bios like that [00:41] Dr_willis, I'm running dual saphire radeon hd6850's [00:41] jgrevich: could help. It won't hurt. [00:41] Dr_willis: They're good to have around to test old external modems, managed switches, etc [00:42] jgrevich: just document what you change [00:42] Chamunks, i have to wonder.. whats the point. :) well with using them on linux at least... [00:42] and read the manual on how to reset bios if you need to. :) [00:42] 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] Dr_willis, with an amd 6core bla bla bla [00:42] Dr_willis, its a dual boot machine. [00:42] beandog: well, I got a plethora of ideas to try. thanks, I appreciate the help [00:42] genii-around, i had it set up ages ago for a shell over serial port. [00:42] hi [00:43] jgrevich: good luck! [00:43] anyone using new 12.10 without unity? [00:43] beandog: thanks, always in need of it :) [00:43] MakMam, that'd be in #ubuntu+1 not here [00:44] 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] Garr255: Are you able to use the terminal at all? What happens when you run "reset"? [00:45] bretth: What GPU? [00:45] yes, and when I do a reset it just clears the screen and repeats, with those lines scrolling up again [00:45] Dr_willis, so any thoughts or just wanted to say about the picky chipset bit. [00:45] is there a way to kill to byobu process? [00:45] How stable do ya think precise is by now? [00:45] Chamunks, i avoide ati at all costs.. ;) [00:46] i usually try to hold out updating to a new ubuntu until about two or so months after the initial release. [00:46] Dr_willis: amen [00:46] 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] 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 [00:47] I got 3 monitors here.. but 2 are in the closet. :) not used.. ;P [00:47] brent_: Are you using the proprietary drivers? [00:47] oh, gotcha [00:47] 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] using a 40 Inch TV as my main monitor. [00:47] Dr_willis: How was that comment helpful? [00:47] haha.. well the pain was worth the setup.. kind of [00:47] Dr_willis, well i've spent about 600$ on these cards im pretty stuck with them for at least another couple years. [00:48] Chamunks, im not sure if crossfire is supported at all in the FGLRX drivers. [00:48] Dr_willis, somewhat its not great at all. [00:48] Chamunks, but i imagine you are not going to be doing any gaming that will need that much power under linux. [00:48] but the thing is i just want to be able to decypher whats going on in my gnome3 [00:48] i really want to like unity but ... [00:48] Chamunks, gnome3 seems to work decently well. if you can get used to it [00:48] i want to screen record in webm and gtkrecord defaults to some other crap. [00:49] Chamunks: ogv? [00:49] well im currently in a linux mint variant of [00:49] beandog, ahh well its not crap but i still prefer webm [00:49] i dont have to transcode it to upload to youtube in webm. [00:49] Chamunks: I don't blame you [00:49] Chamunks: wait, what? [00:49] Chamunks: youtube will transcode it for you [00:49] 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 [00:50] yes but if i upload in webm my videos are supported automatically in html5 [00:50] Chamunks: gotcha.

[01:27] 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] crazySDman, im not sure why you would be worried about the cache? [01:28] 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] 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] crazySDman, the cache will automatically adjust as memory pressures dictate [01:30] escott: Hmm. Asides from buying more RAM, what are my options for manipulating the way it responds to memory pressures? [01:31] 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] escott: like, on a thumbdrive or a hard drive or an sd card?

[02:36] 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] Does Ubuntu publish the build scripts to create the ISO somewhere I can get at them? [02:36] I am installing Ubuntu ISO files on /dev/sda1 and using grub2 to boot them. [02:36] I have no problems with released versions (been doing it since 11.04) [02:36] however, I need to get new wireless card drivers into the thing.

[02:53] Hey all, somehow I got rid of InnoDB in my mysql, how do I replace it? [02:53] coreyo: hd1,0 is sdb1 etc.. [02:53] typo [02:54] 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 [02:55] usr13__, this breaks your grub .efi file [02:55] coreyo: I've never done it that way. [02:55] usr13__, you are probably on a bios-based system [02:55] yea [02:57] 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] 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] coreyo: sudo blkid #Tells you about the drives, so... [02:57] coreyo: Bios won't be dead. [02:58] coreyo: Legacy computers are abundant. [02:58] 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 [02:59] coreyo: I dono either... let me look... [03:00] coreyo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 [03:00] coreyo: Even better: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID [03:03] well, I dono if it's better, but... [03:07] 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] 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 [03:08] so finding a way to replace the () with a UUID would be ideal [03:09] 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? [03:10] 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".

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? [06:06] Dailycomputing - Have you tried the disk utility ? [06:06] no? [06:06] search for disk utility in unity [06:06] or for disks if you are using gnome 3.4 [06:06] it wont even detect it now :( [06:07] i clicked on safely eject media [06:07] Dailycomputing: sudo fdisk -l in pastebin please. [06:08] *ARGH sorry, I mean RAID0…;so two disks in RAID0, now want to remove the second disk since all the data is small enough to fit on the first device [06:09] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091056/ [06:09] sudo not sudu [06:09] oh [06:10] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091057/ L3top [06:11] eppa: how do you plan to convert a 2-disk raid0 to raid1...? [06:12] Dailycomputing: -l not -1 [06:13] ugg [06:13] lol [06:13] in C language , I want to create a file (using fopen) along with any not existing parent directories.. is there any api in linux?? [06:13] DarwinSurvivor: OK, so mdadm man page doesn [06:14] 't mention it [06:14] hmm [06:14] siva4080: ##c [06:14] 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. [06:15] when I try to update, I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091059/ [06:15] 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] Please tell me whatto do. [06:15] DarwinSurvivor: good idea, ok thanks [06:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091060/ L3top lol [06:16] eppa: that's assuming you are using partition-level raid and not disk-level (or hardware) raid [06:16] in what file can I run commands for a user on login? .profile or something else? [06:16] bencc: what type of command is it? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [06:17] eppa: My *recommended* recommendation however would be to make a backup of all your data anyways (no important data should *ever* be stored in only 1 place) [06:17] DarwinSurvivor: xsetwaccom to configure a tablet [06:17] DarwinSurvivor: yeah backing up 20TiB is hard… [06:18] Dailycomputing: remove and reinsert the drive, and give run the command again. [06:18] i did [06:18] the light dont even comeon now [06:19] bencc: ah, then .profile (or similar) is probably the best solution (not sure if .profile or .inputrc or etc is best though) [06:20] DarwinSurvivor: thansk [06:20] eppa: good grief, I hope you have the *important* stuff backed up at least (most people don't bother backing up music/etc as it's replaceable). [06:20] Dailycomputing: I find your hardware suspect, or your OS itself is flakish. Remove the drive, reboot the machine plug the drive in, do not open it if prompted. [06:21] ok [06:21] Dailycomputing: once the machine is up pastebin sudo fdisk -l and pastebin sudo mount [06:21] L3top: did he try the drive in another machine? [06:21] L3top: he's gone === jgrevich_ is now known as jgrevich [06:21] He has two nics in here. [06:21] Dailycomputing: did you try this drive in another machine [06:23] yes [06:23] i tried to format it says its read only [06:23] L3top: Ah, I didn't notice that [06:24] Dailycomputing: what filesystem does (did) it have? [06:24] hi [06:25] Dailycomputing: not to be incredibly elementary... but... is the lock tab switched? [06:25] 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] Dailycomputing: on the sd itself [06:26] L3top, in windows [06:26] 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 [06:27] ok i need to do that [06:27] Dailycomputing: "if Ubuntu detects that it ....." [06:27] Dailycomputing: fat32 is documented just fine. it's so primitive, there is nothing special to it. [06:27] ntfs you have to use windows chkdsk tho [06:27] wols: ah, sorry, you are correct [06:28] please bring me to indonesia channel [06:28] !id | Metzee [06:28] Metzee: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [06:28] idk i just want to format it so i can use it [06:28] eppa: have you seen the "cp -al" + "rsync" system for backup? for very well for me (full backups with the space saving of incremental backup) [06:29] Dailycomputing: please give me the output of the commands I gave you, and we will do just that.

When it comes up, check sudo fdisk -l and I expect that it will be /dev/sdb1 where it lives. Then check in mount and make sure it is not there (mounted). Then mkdosfs -I -F32 /dev/sdb1 assuming it is where I expect it.

[06:57] does anyone happen to know exactly what program ubuntu 12.04 uses for system logging? [06:59] or what is a good program to use for logging? [07:10] joubin: While you are logging in, the processes are going to be unusually high loading your DE. It would not likely be beneficial to knowing what is going on. [07:11] hey isn't there anyone ? [07:12] arzuhuseyn: What is your question? [07:15] 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] 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] Anyone experienced with this, and who might have some insight into why the heck this happens? [07:16] . [07:16] Woah. After 5 minutes of having the sound preferences up, my sound cards just magically re-appeared. Ugh. [07:16] applause [07:16] wow! [07:16] only in ...? [07:16] At least there's no measurable rhyme or reason for why it dies or comes back. [07:16] Makes it really easy to troubleshoot... [07:21] ?? [07:22] arzuhuseyn: that isn't much to go on. It isn't a deb, what is it? [07:24] give me channel indonesa [07:24] give me channel indonesia [07:24] !id | Metzee: for the 4th time. [07:24] Metzee: for the 4th time.: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:25] 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] L3top: it isn't a package just a folder. I think we must do something from terminal but I have no any idea. [07:26] 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] 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] They were basically set up for Linux raid autodetect, but Ubuntu from livecd at least didn't attempt to automatically start arrays from them [07:27] arzuhuseyn: typically if it is something that needs to be compiled there is a README file telling you how. [07:28] 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] Why won't Clementine stream Sky FM any more? It did it before the incident. Now it won't. [07:29] !codec | Spectacle_K hopefully this will help.

(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] Clementine and decoding stream issue. [07:31] Will any of those tell me why Clementine is not decoding the streams from Sky FM? [07:31] One way to tell.

Version 57 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB [07:33] 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. [07:34] When I try the command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop" The ubuntu GUI ends! Do anybody know what the problem is? [07:35] 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. [07:36] 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] the cannot decode error seems to indicate it might. [07:36] When I checked it had uninstalled Chromium and Clementine [07:37] You miss my point. [07:37] I guess I do. [07:37] Sorry. I'm not in my right mind it's really early in the morning here. [07:37] Here as well. If it uninstalled those programs without asking, there is no reason to assume it didn't chunk the codecs as well. [07:38] ...I suppose it would help if I installed mdadm >_< [07:38] So... reinstall KDE? [07:38] No...

[07:41] 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] :) thanks for the effort anyway.

[09:49] biopyte: In fact, all java applications I am using arent able to run on java7. [09:50] bekks, hmm ... just started the java7 install ... you think its likely that many apps wont run on 7 ... [09:51] thats akward ... there should be backward compatibility [09:52] actually i try 7 becaus some of my apps dont run properly on 6 ... maybe now they wont run at all .... hahaha [09:53] biopyte: "should" - that doesnt enforce it :) [09:53] correct [09:57] 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 [09:58] magpie: trash folder on the flashdrive? [09:58] unable to erase it, it wont let me [09:58] magpie there's a hidden file called 'trash' after you deleted someting, delete that too [09:58] however, if i plug it in a windows machine everything is fine [09:59] magpie, i always use mc or terminal interacting with flash-sticks [09:59] monkeydust it wont let me delete the trash [09:59] biopyte how do i do that? [09:59] MonkeyDust it says invalid argument [09:59] start xterm, cd to your stick in /media and rm the files [09:59] magpie hard to believe, just hit the delete key after you selected the hidden trash file [10:00] MonkeyDust, still says invalid argument [10:00] or start xterm and mc and browse [10:00] Biopyte you have to be more specific, i dont recall the last time i cd something [10:00] :( [10:01] magpie, learn the basics of the unix command line [10:01] okie dokie [10:01] biopyte how about telling how to rm the files? i did cd media [10:02] type 'ls' and find your stick [10:02] then cd stick [10:03] ls again [10:03] find the trash-folder or whatever [10:03] rm trash-folder [10:03] rm -r [10:04] no guarantee [10:04] trash-folder no such or directory [10:04] cannot remove [10:04] found it [10:04] you listed the stick content [10:04] you can see the files? [10:05] all of them, the ones that i threw in, but .trash-1000 is not visible at least in terminal [10:05] probably its ./trash === Mot_ is now known as Mot [10:05] magpie type ls -la in the pendrive [10:05] though when i type rm .trash-1000 it says cannot be removed its a directory [10:05] rm -r [10:05] magpie it's rm -r [10:05] magpie: man rm [10:06] for directories [10:06] MonkeyDust your command shows all files as well as .trash [10:06] 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] be careful with rm -r otherwise [10:06] oops [10:06] wrong chan lol [10:07] guys i did rm - .trash-1000 it cannot be removed, it says is a directory [10:08] magpie: did u read the man page? [10:08] sorry mate i just saw your command advice, let me check [10:08] cheers [10:08] magpie please , it's rm -r .trash-1000 [10:08] sorry mate [10:08] that helped [10:08] `/24 [10:10] magpie, alternatively install "mc" and start it in the terminal ... its self explanatory === lubmil is now known as lub` [10:16] hi there. my X just froze and "[drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id" appeared in dmesg twice. what's broken there? [10:16] magpie even better: learn the CLI basics, cd, rm, ls etc [10:17] its ok guys,thanx for the help, MonkeyDust's advice worked like a charm [10:17] learning bash is a handy skill. === hari is now known as Guest82664 [10:18] itsbroken: what's your video chipset? [10:18] dr_willis: intel hd 3000 [10:19] itsbroken: so it worked for a while. then froze? or has it ever worked? === Guest82664 is now known as harikt [10:20] dr_willis: it worked for months. happend a few times in the last week. [10:20] 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 [10:21] thats not a question ;) [10:21] hehe [10:22] what fs is on it? [10:22] 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] ntfs, fat it doesnt matter, i tried a couple, usually i choose ntfs cause i use it on windows machine [10:23] magpie same: type ls -la and delete all [10:23] MonkeyDust its empty, i tried your advice, though it says 8 files i can only see . and .. [10:23] you are unmounting it befor you unplug it? [10:23] unmount and safe remove from the disk utility === cerabounce is now known as ceradon|Cloud [10:24] you can unmount from the file manager. right click in the left most column [10:24] and eject? [10:25] 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) [10:26] eject is for optical. i think. i normally see umount and one other [10:26] magpie: what have you done to it in the past? [10:27] hi [10:27] 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] ls just shows files.. dosent delete [10:27] magpie, try hot water and soap [10:27] im new [10:27] biopyte i painted it blue and threw it in the sea [10:27] hello [10:27] dr_willis ls -la and the rm -r [10:28] and i delete everything [10:28] shows ocupied? [10:28] 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] instead of 8gb [10:28] do people ever sneeze when they are asleep ? [10:29] haylo wrong channel [10:29] oops [10:29] haylo try REM channel [10:29] magpie: on ubuntu you mean? clean the trash before unplugging or unmounting it. [10:30] empty the trash i mean. [10:30] So I tried running Ubuntu off of an installation disc and it still won't connect to the router. Windows is working perfectly fine on the same computer. On Ubuntu, it keeps trying to connect but never actually does. Any ideas? [10:30] Witewolf you're in a live session? [10:30] usb have weird trash folders. its part of how they work. its an essential part of the solid state drive, im pretty sure [10:31] dr_willis my bad, i have xubuntu and i use the flash stick with ntfs format in windows machine at work. And yes, after monkeydust told me how i am able to delete the trash via terminal cause it wouldnt let me delete the trash with right click-delete [10:31] I have tried a live session and a fresh install right off the disc, where it asks if you want to connect to the internet to install drivers blah blah. [10:31] Witewolf wireless or cable? [10:31] Wireless [10:31] file manager/desktoos trash empties all trash. on usb and the systems [10:31] Witewold open additional drivers and let it search for them [10:32] Witewolf type !wifi for instructions [10:32] !wifi [10:32] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:32] woops [10:33] dr_willis how do i do that? sounds stupid sorry again [10:38] right click trash icon.. empty trash..

[10:55] hello, everyones ... :) [10:55] can anyone tell me why ultimate edition 2.6 logs out occasionally? [10:55] Witewolf i would advice a 'real' install, not wubi [10:56] how to install modem driver trough linux directly...? anybody knows..? thanks before for the answer.. [10:56] my modem is smart telecom AC2627 from Indonesia.. [10:57] /msg ubottu !alis [10:57] damn space [10:57] hmm... [10:58] This may seem like a dumb question MonkeyDust but I partitioned my drive. While installing ubuntu, should I just install inside of Windows or "other"... it's been a while since I did a clean install with Ubuntu. I want Ubuntu to use the partition that I seperated from my main drive which is currently windows [10:58] !help me [10:58] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [11:00] How do i run programs from the terminal. ive allowed executing file as a program and tried CD'ing into its directory but from memory the terminal will default commands to another directory and not the current directory im in.. any ideas, should i move it to /usr/bin and then try running? [11:00] Hi. [11:01] Hi! I made a fool of myself for a few days ago. I would link me up at a friends house but there was a problem with network-manager and his router. It just said "wrong password". So I installed wicd but had to uninstall nm because it would work together. When I got home, wicd cant find my mobile broadband = (I've tried downloading the "libs" and reinstall nm but it is difficult, at all times is the "libs" are missing or have one for [11:01] what to do? [11:02] 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 [11:08] $PATH echos /usr/bin so i moved it there and tried running but.. [11:08] "bash: /usr/bin/bsb: No such file or directory" but 'ls /usr/bin' shows it exists, maybe the download was corrupt and isnt executable any more. [11:11] CAZ_au type ls -l /usr/bin/ | grep bsb does it show something? [11:11] what does each column in output of "ls -l" represents? [11:12] MonkeyDust: "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2669473 Jul 14 20:52 bsb" [11:12] how I can to join in same irc client [11:13] what does the 3rd and 4th column in ls -l represents? [11:14] sidvee_ the owner and group [11:16] MonkeyDust: Thank you. check from "info ls " too. :) [11:17] Hi [11:17] 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. [11:18] I'm having a problem with ubuntu studio 12.04, can anyone help me? [11:18] When I play an mp3 file, the sound is messed up [11:18] It does play, but it gets interrupted and loops back and generally plays wrong [11:19] Witewolf: Why not just boot from the CD or use a USB? [11:20] 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 [11:21] Witewolf that's wubi, don't use that [11:21] 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 [11:22] Witewolf: error message? [11:22] 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] Witewolf: Dont "boot" it while windows is running. [11:23] CAZ-au I am not.... [11:23] no one can help me with my mp3 problem? [11:24] okay... when you reboot it should boot into Ubuntu, weird. maybe the bootloader wasnt set up properly [11:25] 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] Thornvale dfine "messed up" [11:25] Yeah, it doesn't install anything. Maybe I should try downloading an older version of Ubuntu and worry about updating it later. [11:26] Thornvale, I've never used it. Maybe try #ubuntustudio [11:26] Well, basically when I play a file it gets interrupted with noise or loops back to a earlier part. [11:27] Witewolf: propably not necessary. just describe how you did the installation process [11:27] 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 [11:28] Thornvale what media player? [11:28] all of them, vlc, totem, rythmbox, audacious, movie player... [11:29] 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] Thornvale other formats too, .ogg .flac etc or mp3 only [11:31] haven't tried yet with .ogg or .flacs, let me download a .ogg file and I'll tell you [11:31] But youtube videos seem to work just fine [11:31] Thornvale .mp3 is not free or open, that's why i'm asking [11:31] Witewolf: do you start the installation right after the boot menu or from the desktop icon after bit of testing? [11:31] I know [11:31] But it's the format the files are in === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [11:33] Thornvale maybe you need an additional codec for mp3 [11:33] 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] I'm trying to isntall the one directly from the fluendo website, maybe it'll work better === ptyd3s is now known as Arthur_AXQ [11:35] nop, still the same problem, I'll as over at #ubuntustudio [11:36] Witewolf do *not* install inside windows, it'll go better :) [11:36] 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 [11:37] 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] hi [11:38] 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] Witewolf [11:38] You would need to assign one of the partitions with "/" [11:38] Witewolf do you have space left on your hdd, where you can install ubuntu? [11:39] The one you want to install the ubuntu on [11:39] Yes, each partition has 500GB [11:39] 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. [11:40] Witewolf: yes, swapt too. Should usually be as large as your total ram amount [11:40] there should be a box to set where to boot from and you need to select the right drive [11:41] 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] personally i have 1tb set up with separtate partitions for /, /home and /boot plus SWAP. [11:41] seems no one answers me at #ubuntustudio [11:41] Witewolf http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#3 read this, to get an idea [11:41] and .oggs play just fine [11:41] Witewolf: you can chip that little swap partition off the 500gb partition. [11:41] Thornvale great, so it's most probably a codec issue for mp3 [11:42] Witewolf: but do it before you start the installation process [11:42] probably [11:42] easier that way [11:42] <_PanzerSajt> Hy! I have installed Ubuntu on an omap 4460board but I was unable to install 3d drivers. "depmod -a" gives this output: "FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/3.0.21+/modules.dep.tmp for writing: Read-only file system" [11:43] Thornvale type !mp3 for instructions [11:43] in the terminal? [11:44] Thornvale no here [11:44] !mp3 [11:44] 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 [11:45] <_PanzerSajt> can someone help me with omap4 driver installation? [11:45] So should I go back, unpartition the drive using the software I partitioned it with... then partition it using the ubuntu installer? [11:46] i have this problem: until the latest system update ubuntu 12.04 worked fine on my laptop. Yesterday was an update, since i can't see icons on the startpanel (on the left). I can run apps from it, just can't see icon. Yesterday i did a clean 12.04 install, worked fine until the latest updates again. [11:46] Witewolf launch the live session, use gparted to partition [11:47] weird [11:47] it still has problems when turned to.ogg [11:47] 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] Thornvale just renaming won't solve the issue [11:48] no, exported it with audacity [11:48] Witewolf: do you know how to use gparted? [11:50] 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 [11:51] Should it be ext2 or NTFS for the file system? [11:51] Must be a sound car problem then [11:51] if there is still trouble after exporting to .ogg [11:52] Witewolf_: ext4 for the partition you use as installation partition. swap for the swap [11:52] hmm [11:53] Witewolf_: do you have windows on that disk already? [11:53] 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 [11:54] Witewolf_: you only need to select the installation partition, assign it with "/" and mark it with formatting with ext4 [11:54] 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? [11:55] Witewolf_: just make sure you are selecting the empty partition and not the one with your windows on it :) [11:55] Well, I am partitioning it right now as ext4... now what? [11:55] <|Long|> hi folks, i need some help plz...i has scheduling crontab's jobs under root account and it does not executed from the time scheduled, is there any log or somewhere i can look for it error? [11:55] ^ did [11:56] |Long|: root is disabled [11:56] !upstart [11:56] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:56] Mattias: ^^ [11:56] 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] thanks [11:56] 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] |Long|: you don't [11:56] |Long|: it's locked for a reason [11:56] dr_willis: http://wiki.znc.in/Running_ZNC_as_a_system_daemon [11:56] Witewolf_: but the actual partitioning is always good to do before installation process [11:57] 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] Yeah, just finished it... now I am going to start the ubuntu installer via desktop and see what happens lol [11:57] 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] |Long|: is there a reason you're not using your own user ? [11:58] <|Long|> ikonia, well, i tried that but it doesnt run on scheduled time [11:58] 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] |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] Witewolf_ partitioning is the hard part [11:58] well thats the problem... i can't get the internet to work... shall I work on that before I actually start the installer? [11:59] <|Long|> ikonia, is there a error log or where i can check to see why it is not run? [11:59] Witewolf_: might be good idea. It should work on the live cd if it is going to work at all. [11:59] dr_willis: ooh, don't forget to use mosh too! http://mosh.mit.edu/ it's awesome. (^^♪ [11:59] gahh no matter what I do the sound is still fucke dup [11:59] |Long|: why don't you pastebin a.) your crontab entry b.) the script (if you are calling a script) you are trying to run [12:00] Witewolf_: what kind of connection you should have? [12:00] 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] Witewolf_: so normal wthernet? [12:00] wireless [12:00] Witewolf_ use a cable to start, not wireless [12:01] Unfortunately I can't. [12:01] Witewolf_ now you have to try and install, AND configure wireless [12:02] Witewolf_: does ubuntu give you the jockey driver manager? [12:02] Well, majority of the issue would be wireless for right now. I can always troubleshoot the install later. [12:02] How can i mount a yaffs2 image dump? [12:02] Applications/Additional Drivers? [12:02] Witewolf_: I mean, does the wireless adapter on the machone need closed source drivers? [12:02] hello [12:03] Witewolf_: yes, additional drivers [12:03] I doubt it, whats the command to check wlan in the terminal? [12:04] delac: nothing comes up in the additional drivers window [12:04] aaa801 i had never heard of it, but there's this http://yaffs.net/howto-incorporate-yaffs-linux [12:04] Witewolf_: on the other hand, you did say it does see the router? just gets in to loop? [12:05] Yes... it sees the router, and attempts to connect.. but it can't successfully connect.. just keeps trying over and over [12:05] Witewolf_: in that case it's propably not missing driver, but could still be some driver problem... [12:06] <|Long|> ikonia, here is it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1091399/ [12:07] Yeah, thats what I'm thinking but I can't seem to figure it out lol. [12:07] Witewolf_: or it mighthave something to do with the connection encryption. You do have encrypted connection? [12:08] WPA [12:08] Witewolf_: wifi encrypted by any chance? if so did you try unencrypted if it's your AP to test? [12:09] let me see... [12:09] wols: thanks, rebooted the server to try.. apparently it already started on boot now when the file is in unix format. [12:10] that's weird.. while in ubuntu live I can't access the router... === rob is now known as Guest94432 [12:10] Witewolf_: propably because you cant connect to the wireless router :) [12:11] Aye lol [12:11] Hiyas all [12:11] Witewolf_: you need to do the setting up of the router from windows or get the cable [12:12] Witewolf_: also, if you can, use wpa2 rather than just wpa === pizza-dude is now known as wiiguy [12:12] Yeah, I am trying to remember where I wrote down the router info... since I can never remember the sequence lol.. this day is just getting better and better :D === wiiguy is now known as Guest64286 [12:13] <|Long|> ikonia, i tried chown user /u /etc/crontab it give me premission denied, eventhought i has it on 777 [12:13] |Long|: that's not what I said to do [12:14] |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] |Long|: do any of those cronjobs run [12:15] I can't see any of them working [12:15] <|Long|> none of them run as that scheduled time [12:15] maybe get the scripts working, but the first two no [12:15] <|Long|> it will run if i do manually and individually [12:16] |Long|: yes, but thats not how crontab works, the first two will not work [12:16] 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? [12:17] |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) [12:18] <|Long|> ikonia, ok [12:18] 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 [12:19] hi [12:19] choose your root partition [12:19] Hi mobhero [12:19] how to install GITHub server in ubuntu 10.04 server, pls help me.. [12:19] 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] mobhero, install git-core packages [12:20] blackshirt- then how can i configure. pls suggest any website to setup [12:20] How do I assign that partition with the root "/" tag? [12:21] |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 [12:22] also, do I want it to have a boot flag? [12:22] Witewolf: no need to mess with the boot flag as far as I know. [12:23] Witewolf: http://www.muktware.com/sites/default/files/images/manual/ubuntu-11-04/fresh_install_root.png [12:23] Witewolf: so just select the partiton, get that window to show up somehow :) and select ext4 and mount point / [12:24] got ya, doing that now [12:25] Came up with a window saying something about Swap? [12:26] do I have to have swap space? [12:26] yes [12:27] Which partition should I make Swap Area as? [12:27] Witewolf: yes, it is advisable. didnt you already do the ram sized swap aprtiton with the gparted? [12:27] 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? [12:29] 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] hey how can i use usenet ? [12:30] Qualia: Ask your ISP [12:30] is it safe to modify ntfs partitions with gparted? [12:30] unfortunately i already have 4 partitions.... [12:30] Benkinooby modify? [12:30] 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] MonkeyDust, extends the partition to unformated space [12:31] Benkinooby sure, but make sure you don't lose data, backup first [12:31] Witewolf: any of the about the size of your ram and empty? [12:31] MonkeyDust, thx [12:31] Witewolf: them* [12:32] none that are empty... System/OS/HP Recovery/Linux [12:32] Qualia: http://sabnzbd.org/ may be of interest to you. [12:33] Witewolf: then you need to split up the linux partition [12:34] how can I split it up if I can't create another patition for the swap? [12:34] Whiskey: why cant you create another partiton? === Owner_ is now known as Guest79943 [12:34] or http://usenetreviewz.com/best-usenet-clients/ [12:34] Says it is impossible to have more than 4 partitions [12:35] Witewolf: Having four primary partitions, you have to delete at least one to create an extended partition for containing logical partitions. [12:35] Witewolf: Not true [12:35] Thats what the pop-up windows says.... [12:35] Witewolf in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see [12:35] usr13__: You cant create more than four primary partitions on a MSDOS disk label [12:36] bekks: Witewolf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [12:36] 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. [12:37] 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] usr13__: Having at least one extended partition, you can create more than four partitions. [12:37] *sigh* can't install pastebinit, or get it because I have no internet lol [12:37] bekks: Correct [12:37] Witewolf find a cable and 95% of your problems are solved [12:38] question , is there anying to make an iphone see a network printer useing ubuntu ? [12:38] Witewolf: bekks Of course, there's the option of adding another HDD. [12:39] 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] guess I am SOL heh [12:39] Witewolf: maybe you should put the internet connection as priority one :) [12:39] hi [12:39] Witewolf: Who is they? [12:39] someone use irssi here? [12:39] mala me [12:39] usr13_: -_- [12:40] Witewolf: (I can make a cable <300' [12:40] MonkeyDust i am trying to connect to the freenode with it [12:40] Haha, aye but I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a cable [12:40] mala: And whats the problem? [12:40] mala irssi -c irc.freenode.org -n mala [12:41] mala -c means channel -n means nick [12:41] Witewolf: It doesn't cost that much. And there is always wireless. [12:41] start irssi, type "/connect irc.freenode.net" [12:41] really now? thats the damn issue I have been trying to solve... is on how to get wireless to work. [12:42] 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] How do I change the location that terminal windows open at? [12:42] Witewolf: O [12:42] MonkeyDust hey i got it [12:42] bashrc? [12:42] Witewolf: What seems to be the problem? [12:42] Layke: No. Bash doesnt have anything to do with the location an X application opens at. [12:42] Witewolf: Too far? Too many walls? [12:43] MonkeyDust how i can create a channel to talk with you? [12:43] delac: from which computer, the one that is connected with internet access, or the soon to be linux machine? [12:43] matheus you are talking to me right now, if you mean pm, i don't like that [12:43] Witewolf: If you have trouble with encryption, just go into router settings and turn it off. [12:43] MoneyDust: i know, only to learn to do that with irssi [12:44] Any ideas bekks Where I could set it? [12:44] Witewolf: Dont do that. That will enable all your neighbors to use your wifif. [12:44] (Have tried Googling already) [12:44] Witewolf: soon linux, the one you cannoct connect with [12:44] i don't know the commands here [12:44] bekks: Witewolf Don't be so paranoid. [12:44] usr13__: I am realistic, not paranoid. [12:44] 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? [12:44] bekks: Call it what you want :) [12:45] bekks, Ah. I can do it from the Settings, under "Initial Directory" [12:45] hello [12:45] MoneyDust: do you know to auto-start the linux with irssi ? [12:45] in tty ? [12:45] matheus simply type /help [12:45] !list [12:45] fox4: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [12:46] bekks: Witewolf Looks like you guys are unable / unwilling to solve problems. Oh well, I'm outta here... [12:46] nothing happens [12:46] well, it is unencrypted... [12:46] and still won't connect [12:46] what is the suggested manner of installing php-fpm on ubuntu 10.04? [12:46] matheus first learn the basics, then learn how to automate things [12:47] i saw either compiling php manually or installing the packages from brian mercer's apt repository [12:47] MonkeyDust i am mala [12:47] Witewolf, you probly need to reset the router [12:47] w8 a minute [12:47] Witewolf: you set up your router to be unencrypted? [12:47] matheus, speak english please , not IM [12:47] ok [12:48] i am doing this =) [12:48] Nope, now it is encrypted.... I don't need to reset it because this computer I am using for this IRC channel is using the same router perfectly fine. [12:48] Witewolf, ok , wasn't sure of your setup [12:48] Witewolf: what is unencrypted then? [12:49] Nothing apparently lol [12:49] Hi. Brand-new clean Ubuntu 12.04 install. How do I get 'nvidia-detector' to return something other than 'none'? [12:49] computer has GT-650M card... [12:50] Witewolf: ok, so it says wpa on the wireless security tab in the network connections window? [12:50] sorry ask that, but how i change the name? [12:51] i already ahve anothe nickname and i am using irssi [12:51] mankoff, have you checked out restricted drivers ? [12:51] BluesKaj how do I do that? [12:51] It's WPA2 [12:51] is it safe to run fsck on a mounted drive? [12:51] tesserakt: NO. [12:51] BluesKaj I've seen mention of Bumblebee, etc. Is that what you refer to? [12:51] mankoff: http://www.linuxcandy.com/2012/06/the-nvidia-fiasco.html [12:51] Kept me from using linux on the laptop :/ [12:52] bekks, so that can only be done before boot automatically by ubuntu? or can I manually unmount a drive and then check it? the thing is that I have a computer that manages quite some files, and it does not restart very often. I want to ensure the integrity of the files [12:52] delac: WPA2 [12:52] Witewolf: which one does your router use, WPA or WPA2? [12:53] someone knwo? [12:53] tesserakt: Then unshare it, unmount it and run fsck on it. [12:53] WPA2 lol [12:53] 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... [12:54] mankoff: Do you mean bumblebee? [12:54] mankoff: no idea. try here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [12:54] should be both -.- [12:54] mankoff: Actually it doesnt matter wether it is 32 or 64bit. === matheus is now known as mala [12:55] mankoff, bumblebee is for laptops that use 2 levels of graphics that uses 2 different graphics chips and drivers, is that your setup? [12:56] BluesKaj I'm not sure. I have purchased a laptop *specifically* for CUDA work I need to do, but am having trouble getting it set up... [12:56] Optimus seems different than CUDA? [12:56] In which case, bumblebee might not help? [12:56] delac: WPA2 if you didn't see my message before [12:56] Hello [12:57] Witewolf: Not sure what to do. Try messing around with the settings there to see if anything helps. You could also delete that connection and let ubuntu create a new one. [12:57] mankoff: In every other case. [12:57] anyone uses banshee? [12:57] Hi guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite, it has precise pangolin on it at the moment. I can't seem to get my built-in microphone to be recognized by ubuntu. I go to the sound settings ad under input nothing is listed. [12:57] mankoff: you mean this? http://samiux.blogspot.se/2011/05/howto-nvidia-cuda-toolkit-40-on-ubuntu.html [12:58] I just installed and dual booted my lenovo notebook that currently has win7 ultimate 32 bit [12:58] mankoff: you might want both :) better battery life then [12:58] Mattias: I'll try that last link. Thanks. FYI I have this laptop: http://usa.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N56VZ/ [12:58] and I cant find the files that I have in drive d [12:58] Mattias: Not sure if that has the 2 levels you refer to. [12:58] lnxslck: Please just ask what you really want to know. [12:59] sorry for being such a noob [12:59] GT650M has optimus tech [12:59] i am trying to auyto-start irssi when i do the login with a name, its possible ? [12:59] how to change the UI language in banshee? [12:59] most new nvidia mobile cards do [12:59] Can anyone help out? [12:59] I somehow turned off support for InnoDB in MySQL/MariaDB can anyone suggest how I turn it back on? it does appear to be turned on in the my.cnf file [13:00] Hi All FreeBSD Is Better Or UbunTu? [13:00] M4Fia: Whatever you feel comfortable with. [13:00] M4Fia, depends on what you use it for [13:00] mankoff, Mattias with Optimus please take a look @ bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee and there is also a #bumblebee irc channel here on freenode [13:00] Server [13:00] OerHeks ok I will. Thank you. [13:00] bmtahimik, can you outline the problem further? Can you find drive D, or is it just the files that seem to be missing? [13:01] M4Fia: I'm actually setting up an ubuntu server right now :) I never liked BSD before [13:01] mankoff. look for additional drivers , dunno which desktop you're using so... [13:02] As a reminder.... Hi guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite, it has precise pangolin on it at the moment. I can't seem to get my built-in microphone to be recognized by ubuntu. I go to the sound settings and under input nothing is listed. ??? === ganster is now known as las_vegas [13:02] Thanks merp, I cant find Drive D when Im logged in using WIn7. But when I log in using Ubuntu, I can see my files in C drive, I can open them. But I cant see the folders & files that I have in drive D [13:02] tnx Mattias [13:03] merp_ in a terminal, type alsamixer, use the arrows to navigate, if you see MM, go there and press m [13:03] Thank you, MonkeyDust [13:03] M4Fia: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html And use this :) === erry_ is now known as erry [13:04] M4Fia: Will you use Raid? [13:04] MonkeyDust, all I see is mic boost, could that have anything to do with it? [13:04] When I open up File system in Ubuntu it says it lists 262GB File System under Devices [13:04] Because ubuntu server couldn't manage to install a bootloader on my Raid1 when I ran the installation.. had to boot the system with a rescuecd and install grub2 manually [13:04] Mattias Yeh [13:04] merp_ yeah, try it [13:05] I AM FINALLY A NEW UBUNTU USER! ...sorry, excited... [13:05] 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] MonkeyDust to put the irssi to auto-start i need to put the command irssi inside the cron, yes? [13:05] !yay| ericccsaysss [13:05] ericccsaysss: Glad you made it! :-) [13:05] M4Fia: so in the installation, you pick the "no bootloader" option if grub won't install :P [13:06] mala no, cron is for scheduling tasks [13:06] very very very tnx Mattias === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [13:07] can i ask kubuntu questions here? [13:07] MonkeyDust: ou have dome idea of how do that? [13:07] mala: in a tty, there is no way to automatically run things at login. [13:07] tkingOf course, this is *ubuntu channel [13:07] :( [13:07] MoneyDust, nothing happend. Ubuntu can't seem to see I have a mic. [13:07] tking_: Even if there's also the #Kubuntu one === pizza-dude is now known as wiiguy [13:08] 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] bekks: or i can use that in the terminal at GUI interface [13:08] Had to restart in the end. [13:08] bmtahimik, is Drive D and external harddrive or an internal hard drive? [13:08] Layke: ctrl+alt+f7 [13:08] Well then [13:08] bkks: in GUI interface is possbile to auto-start the irssi? [13:09] 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] merp_: Can you see the mic in another OS or in the BIOS? [13:09] mala: It is possible to autostart applications, yes. But get familiar with the basics first, before automate things. [13:09] I don't have another os, and what is BIOS? [13:10] (15:07:26) : mala: in a tty, there is no way to automatically run things at login. [13:10] I don't think so, bekks! ~/.bash_login is for that exact purpose! [13:10] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/97137/how-do-you-run-a-script-on-login-in-nix [13:10] merp_: BIOS is the thing that starts immediately after turning on your PC. [13:10] Oh. How do I look for a microphone there? [13:10] nannes: What if someone doesnt use bash? :) [13:11] hi, my "battery icon" dissapered [13:11] Almost everyone uses bash. And I think that the others shells have that feature, too [13:11] how can I turn it back ? [13:11] etsw, could you be clearer on "battery icon"? [13:11] bekks: i am familiar i use ubuntu for more than 6 mounths [13:11] merp_: When the computer boots press the button on your keyboard that enters setup (with toshiba I believe it [13:12] it's F2* [13:12] merp_: icon at right top, I use gnome-session-fallback. classic gnome view. [13:12] mala: At least, you should configure irssi before autostarting it. [13:12] hey guys, how can I define the folder that VLC uses for the 'media library' in the web interface. Thanks [13:12] Then what when i reboot? [13:12] why is cups a dep of doxygen? [13:12] bekks: now u get me i started irssi today :) [13:13] etsw, go in to power settings. [13:13] 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] cant find wireless nework on the kubuntu task bar [13:13] Ok. [13:13] tightwork: for printing maybe, you can report a bug if you find it surplus [13:13] merp_: it's not there. [13:13] My BIOS has it listed as Peripherals [13:14] mala: You could refer to this as a starting point: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi [13:14] tking_: if you run: sudo iwlist scan [13:14] as in system settings then power settings...? [13:15] bekks: i am at the irssi site now, thank you a lot =) [13:16] mala: Wait what? irssi? Why not weeChat? :D [13:16] etsw, as in when you go in to system settings the power icon is not there? [13:17] merp_: yes =( [13:17] etsw, have you recently upgraded or downgraded or installed anything? [13:18] or for that matter, removed anything, etsw? [13:18] Hi all. I have trouble viewing flash video with firefox. If I open any video I have a black square and the video doesn't play. I'm using firefox 13.0.1 and flash plugin version 11.2.202 is install and detected by firefox ... [13:19] I have absolutly no idea of where the problem comes from. By the way it used to work before the lubuntu 12.04 upgrade. [13:19] There are no information in the console if I start firefox from there and I haven't found anything on the internet that worked. [13:19] merp_: I think I remove gnome-battery control thing but I cant remember it's name =( I try to install battery-stataus but couldnt. https://live.gnome.org/BatteryStatus [13:19] laporte, what page are you viewing the videos? [13:20] laporte: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [13:20] laporte try right clicingon the video, enable or disable accelleration [13:20] Where do I set my shorts so that I can quickly open a terminal window?

[13:22] derp go around an steal my name >.> [13:22] how do i kill skype cos it wont exit from the task bar [13:23] tking_ pkill skype [13:23] laporte: you could uninstall the package named there, enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, may help [13:23] Or xkill and click on it [13:23] MonkeyDust: This is weird, I can't right click on the video (I mean I can but nothing happen :) ) [13:23] Layke, or drag it to a panel launcher [13:24] xkill just kills the gui, not the process [13:24] merp_: On dailymotion for exemple but on youtube it is the same except that I doesn't have a black square but a white one [13:25] odd. [13:25] well guys, imma go into bio nd find my mic now, bye! [13:25] BIOS, i mean === not_a_rabbit is now known as aperture [13:25] Hi, is there a way to install 64 bit packages in winetricks like dotnet automatically? cause it download only 32 versions [13:26] ActionParsnip, Any way to change the shortcut from f12? on guake?

[13:27] 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 [13:28] Fanshawe: cd /media/laptop\ storage [13:28] Fanshawe: also, you can use tab completion to complete the filenames and folder names [13:29] 'bash: cd: /media/laptop: No such file or directory' [13:29] I'm returned with that, even with the backslash [13:29] oh wait, I've got it, yes tab completion works a treat [13:29] Fanshawe do you see the external drive when you type mount ? [13:30] it was my mistake, capital letters [13:30] thank you very much bastidrazor, MonkeyDust [13:30] Fanshawe: you're welcome. [13:31] mankoff, did you locate the additional drivers ? [13:31] mankoff: dunno, that was the link the 12.04 bumblebee page provided at the bottom [13:31] I see "Additional Drivers (jockey-gtk). Is that what you mean? [13:32] mankoff, yes [13:32] BluesKaj I'll try those now... [13:32] choose the recommended driver , mankoff [13:33] activate it actually [13:33] BluesKaj: It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and I can't do anything other than "Close". [13:33] mankoff, so it's already installed if you followed that CUDA tutorial [13:34] is there a way to prevent Skype quit unexpectedly? [13:34] MonkeyDust, pkill didnt work [13:35] BluesKaj which tutorial? The only Mattias linked doesn't work on 12.04 Do you mean the bumblebee tutorial? [13:35] mankoff: What was it that didn't work? [13:35] tking_ type ps -e | grep skype do you see skype? [13:35] Mattias: "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/aaron-haviland/cuda-4.0/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found" [13:36] Mattias: The "apt-get add-repository" line is this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aaron-haviland/cuda-4.0 [13:36] yeah [13:36] Mattias: But must tweak itself for my system, precise pangolin. [13:36] mankoff mind: a ppa is a non-official software source, use at own risk [13:37] MonkeyDust: Yes. But there *aren't* official sources that seem to get CUDA working, as far as I can tell... [13:37] mankoff, your laptop doesn't need bumblebee [13:37] mankoff: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/iRiE/20120309/1331303439 for cuda 4.2 [13:38] ah 4.1* [13:39] mankoff did you see this http://www.nvidia.com/content/cuda/cuda-downloads.html [13:39] mankoff 12.04 is not in the list, tho [13:39] was just going to post that :P [13:39] no support for 12.04 [13:39] I've activated partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin but the problem with firefox is still there. [13:40] MonkeyDust & Mattias: Right... Maybe I should install 11.04... [13:40] nvidia and thorvalds are not the best of friends [13:40] mankoff: but according to the japanese blog above, they got it installed [13:40] on 12.04 [13:40] Mattias: OK I will try that. Also seems to be similar instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtPAJ9BR1W8 [13:40] just follow the commands :) [13:40] Right :). [13:41] MonkeyDust, yes i see skype === ubuntu is now known as Guest81676 [13:42] mankoff: if you need anything translated I happen to know Japanese :P === Guest81676 is now known as Aitor [13:42] Newcomer to Xchat, my 1st question!

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

Please describe what you are doing. [14:14] TuxyThePenguin, this is ubuntu support only. please don't ask that here [14:14] 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] hi [14:14] DarsVaeda: ok, [14:14] !grub2 > DarsVaeda [14:15] DarsVaeda, please see my private message [14:15] file manager [14:15] grrrrr....

[14:15] yeah but I can't [14:15] system055: I am sorry, I cant get those fragments into an understable context for me. Maybe someone else can help you. [14:15] DarsVaeda: why ?

[14:16] i insert the usb flash drive i can,t get acces to the files [14:17] i have a superblock how to unblock [14:17] because there is no grub-install and the graphical way of the alternate cd does not work "exit code 1" [14:17] system055: The superblock of a filesystem contains the basic information needed to mount it. You cant "unblock" it. [14:17] DarsVaeda: if you follow the instructions (after actually reading them) on the link ubottu sent you, it will work [14:18] system055: And your error states that you are using a wrong command, option, etc. when trying to mount it. [14:18] mh [14:18] than that article is too complicated for me, I missed that part [14:18] is other way to try mount it [14:19] i can't decrypt files with seahorse - i've got some '.pgp' files [14:19] DarsVaeda: it's not if you read it, and walk through it [14:19] DarsVaeda: if you have specific questions on that articles steps, just ask [14:19] i can be the usb drivers? === ross is now known as Guest5108 [14:19] Firefox is not installing flash? [14:19] TuxyThePenguin: No. [14:20] TuxyThePenguin: You have to install it yourself. [14:20] How bekks? [14:20] TuxyThePenguin: By searching for "flash" in the software center, select the variant you want to use, and install it. [14:20] ikona: sorry what? not one of those steps even mentions the alternate cd? [14:20] it is only about the liveCd and I do not posses one of them [14:21] also I have no working ubuntu [14:21] DarsVaeda: the process is still the same, selecting the recovery enviornment [14:21] so I can not find any point that is suitable for me [14:21] Can i boot ubuntu of an USB, and how [14:21] 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] how do I build the 'virtual' flavour of kernel from the git sources? I can't seem to find anything on that [14:22] !unetbootin > TuxyThePenguin [14:22] TuxyThePenguin, please see my private message [14:22] ryant5000: you can't do that for amazon cloud services [14:22] ubottu understood [14:23] <|Long|> ikonia, u still here bud?

Clever :) [14:51] benjamingwynn: it will rmeove that ppa from the sources.list and also remove the software installed from the PPA [14:51] guest29445: if you format the c:\ drive, you have formatted the c drive, nothing more [14:51] That's good.

Doesn't feel... fluid. I do a lot of Android-based development so I need to switch between apps like *click fingers* that.

[15:11] benjamingwynn: in the #ubuntu-* namespace there are several channels, each with it's own purpose. This channel is strictly for technical support issues [15:11] MonkeyDust, talk in ubuntu-discuss or ocean will rip my head off. [15:11] lol [15:11] brb all [15:13] Using 12.04, audio usb codecs have disappeared [15:14] drrfrost the question being? [15:18] I had been using them (input and output) for connection to ham radio interface. They aren't listed in systems/sound. Do I need to do a reinstall? [15:20] I was running 64-bit 11.10 amd switched to 32-bt. About a month after the switch, when I would log in, the wireless would not connect. So after trying a bunch of thinks, I thought I'd just jiggle the LKM, so I'd 'sudo rmmod iwlagn; sleep 3; sudo modprobe iwlagn'. This fixed the problem every time. Any idea how I might have to keep from doing this? [15:21] er, like how to fix it permenantly? [15:21] you could put it in a crontab xD [15:22] that makes no sense [15:22] 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] 'current-updates'). I did have "proposed updates" turned on (hey why not, lol) but i turned that off now. [15:22] jyg, it was a joke. [15:23] i figured by the 'xD' hah... but still, it makes not sense, hah [15:23] CAZ_au: you don't compile the nvidia drivers, those articles are nonsense [15:23] CAZ_au: ubuntu has (for years) shipped supported nvidia kernel drivers pre-compiled as part of the distro's repos [15:23] caz, system settings has the Additional Drivers section [15:25] Is possible to configure Unity searching to search a whole file system,not only home catalog? [15:28] What is the channel for loco teams [15:29] taowa: depends which logo [15:29] loco [15:29] The general IRC channel [15:30] taowa loco.ubuntu.com [15:30] taowa: There is #ubuntu-locoteams or #ubuntu-irc that may be able to help [15:30] taowa: #ubuntu-locoteams probably [15:32] Pie! [15:32] I mean Pi! [15:33] Need a test. Can someone just open the page http://chessgoogle.com please? Thanks. [15:34] thanks :) [15:34] asmonaut fine here [15:34] asmonaut: What is it first? You're not likely to get people randomly opening a website [15:34] asmonaut: loads fine, what did you need tested. Also #test is a good channel for testing stuff [15:34] Hey people is there anything that vsn test hardware because my OS is outpuitting sound yet nothing can be heard.. [15:34] oh thanks you so much!! I was wondering if such a chan existed :D [15:35] just wanted to check if i set permissions right... this is killing me, but in the end iĺl learn :P [15:37] should i download the ubuntu server cd if i want to build ubuntu from CLI up to a DE for a desktop, without all of the extra stuff [15:37] get the mini.iso [15:38] !minimal | drounse [15:38] drounse: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:38] Is there a way i can access wireless networks via command line? [15:39] how to make my ubuntu smaller size ? [15:39] my hdd just 4gb [15:39] im installing with wubi [15:39] huamm: you are out of luck then [15:39] nothing you have said makes me happy === jack is now known as Guest73920 [15:40] Icarus_: iwconfig will allow you to configure your wirless card from the command line [15:40] huamm: sorry but the default install is too large for you, try going for a smaller linux like pupy or damn small linux [15:40] i think remove some package? [15:40] im newbie on linux [15:40] can you suggest me? [15:40] huamm: you can remove any software you don't want/need === Guest73920 is now known as wN [15:40] ikonia i was wondering about network username and password [15:41] Icarus_: you can set that with iwconfig [15:42] @ikonia hmm , if i remove all gnome and change with lxde or xfce , can? [15:42] huamm may as well get lubuntu or xubuntu [15:42] but it still wont be small enough [15:42] i think the alternate install cd gives you a list of packages you can add/remove, but i may be mistaken [15:42] how to install glx 1.3 in lucid? My new firefox is dead (: [15:42] ikonia: ^ [15:42] wN: not by default no [15:42] hmm [15:43] wN: the alternative install is the same install, just a different installer routine [15:43] if im using ubuntu server / terminal mode , can be smaller? [15:43] huamm: it will be smaller as it will have no desktop packages [15:43] ikonia: right. i thought it gave you an option to add/remove packages before final install. perhaps that was a different distro [15:43] huamm: but obviously you will have no desktop [15:44] wN: you can do things like use the "lamp" package set install, but the base component is the same [15:44] @ikonia , can i install desktop with us? [15:44] sorry bad english [15:44] huamm: you already have a desktop [15:44] huamm: you can't say "can I remove the desktop to save space, then install a desktop" - that is pointless [15:45] no no no [15:45] i think its true [15:45] huamm you make no sense [15:45] how about it? [15:45] huamm: how about what ? [15:46] seriously huamm it hurts to read what you are writing, please into sense [15:46] no [15:46] sorry2 [15:46] Icarus_: he's trying, English isn't his first language [15:47] 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] 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] does anyone here use an ncurses irc client like weechat? I have a question about channel discovery [15:48] specifically sorting of channels [15:48] huamm: you won't see a benefit to that [15:48] 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" === Guest44584 is now known as phenom [15:49] what i do now [15:49] change distro? [15:49] huamm: install a smaller distro, buy a bigger hard disk [15:49] can you suggest me? [15:50] not really, as it depends a lot on your needs. [15:50] month=$(date +%m) .Why i use '+' ? why not '-' [15:51] olio: it's just the syntax [15:51] forget about it , thanks [15:51] :D [15:51] hi [15:52] i was wondering if it would be possible to run a virtual machien on a server (i know that is possible) but what i want is to have the graphics of that virtual machine output to the physical screen. [15:52] Duality: yes and no [15:52] ikonia: http://pastie.org/4255977 , in man its not mention . [15:52] ikonia: i need X for that? [15:52] Duality: yes it can display output to the screen, thorugh the virtual machine manager console [15:52] g [15:53] Duality: it can't directly output to the screen as if it was a native device [15:53] hmm [15:53] olio: yes it is "+ format" [15:53] so only way to acces would be vnc? [15:54] ikonia: ops ! Aha ! thanks and bye [15:54] Duality: something like that, yes === _cb is now known as _cb_afk [15:55] Duality is this what you mean http://www.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/xzM4lSp2U-k/Install+Manage+Virtualbox+4+headless+Ubuntu [15:55] local teams ? [15:56] nm [15:56] MonkeyDust: kinda but then the vnc on the same machine [15:57] hi. how do i list channels in alphabetical order using the /list command in irc? [15:57] ito: that depends on your IRC client, note that /list is not recommended on big networks such as freenode. === ubuntu is now known as Aitor [15:57] MonkeyDust: For virtualization, would you recommend the above or just going with kvm? [15:58] I'd recommend virtualbox. [15:58] Mattias not every hardware supports kvm, IIRC [15:59] MonkeyDust: like running the os ontop of the ubuntu server, [15:59] Not every hardware supports virtualization at all. [15:59] kvm also has a particular problem with vesa [15:59] I have intel vt-d [16:00] Mattias https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation [16:01] MonkeyDust: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/libvirt.html [16:02] Mattias see, it says "it is best to make sure your hardware supports the necessary virtualization extensions for KVM" === _cb_afk is now known as _cb [16:03] witam, mam do sprzedania http://allegro.pl/k3805-z-14-mbps-aero2-os-x-gwa-12m-bez-locka-i2491059390.html [16:03] !pl | Mikato [16:03] Mikato: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego.

[16:04] !pl | Mikato [16:04] :) [16:04] MonkeyDust: well, I know it supports it because I enabled Intel VT-d in the bios and got a cpu which supports it, and kvm-ok has said it works. Only issue is if it is as full featured as virtualbox which I've previously used. but I haven't used vb in a server environment without gui [16:05] :D [16:05] hello [16:05] plase help me with something [16:05] i have made a little script to restart tomcat from cron [16:06] Mattias from what you say, i understand you're more familiar with it than i am [16:06] but the problem is that the script is working fine when i execut from teminal [16:06] MonkeyDust: seems kvm supports ssh access without problems. Not sure about virtualbox though ^.^ [16:06] but when i execut the script from cron is not working, just stops after the kill -9 comand inside the script [16:07] anyone? [16:07] ssh access to the virtual machine* [16:07] 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] SoulRaven: Then show the script please, in a pastebin. [16:07] ikonia: how, can you give me a example [16:08] ok [16:08] beeks: ok [16:08] 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 [16:09] ikonia, beeks: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2123053700 [16:09] this is the script [16:09] hi, i have built software from source and installed it in home dir. this program have its own .desktop file under $prefix/share/applications but its not showing in dash menu, my guess is gnome isnt looking for .desktop files in that dir, how to fix it?

Had to use a rescuecd to boot into the system and manually install grub2 -.- [16:40] I`m thinging of media players in browser mostly, nothing seems to work [16:40] i have not set any raid, cause i dont know much aboute it [16:40] raidghost: ok, [16:41] raidghost: as a test, could you please boot a livecd, and create a partition using gparted on /dev/sda [16:41] i find it weird that the debian installer finds the drive with no problem. [16:41] 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) [16:42] CAZ_au: log a bug [16:42] ikonia: i will take a look in the bios. and see if there is some options i should change. thanks for some usefull information<( [16:43] good idea [16:43] bbl [16:44] iconcur: i have find my first problem, but i don't know how to fix it: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1708370523 [16:44] if i run the script from terminal i get only one pid, but if i run from cron, i get 4 pid's [16:44] Oer: My version of 8.04 is missing the following: n the Updates tab, set Show new distribution releases: to Long term support releases only, [16:44] SoulRaven: what did you change [16:45] ok [16:45] Oer: Step 2 of the tutorial [16:45] the script i try to run from webmin, meaby this is the problem?

In my sound settings for output underneath "Play sound through" there are no spound options listed. [16:58] I already got it to work [16:58] thanks guys! [16:58] Amorris: do a Md5sum on the iso and compare it with ubuntus hashes on the website. [16:58] ki4ro: i dont think the question was ever answered on there [16:58] which ubuntu is it? [16:58] I couldn't have done it without you [16:59] mine is 11.10 [16:59] nathan708: Sorry just an idea [16:59] just trying to make sure the option is suppose to be there [16:59] Hi guys. I got some problems with my Brother dcp-197c. The printer works very well but scanner not. Can anyone help me? [16:59] Mageia's partitioner bombed my drive, had to recover it [16:59] Amorris: Have a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1922852 [17:00] boot seems a little slow now [17:00] and i dont remember $vt_handoff being an option in the kernel line before [17:00] You can do a Md5sum check from terminal when you run ubuntu without installing. [17:00] yeah i responded to the thread that that links to. [17:01] Weird....I must be the only one that can look things up on Google [17:01] damn iv tried [17:01] lol [17:01] everything is for finding 1 line of text [17:01] i need to match 3 lines [17:02] 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] 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 [17:02] e 'brother3.bus9;/dev1': Invalid argument. what do i do? [17:03] Hi, Is there a good tutorial on how to make wine work with ubuntu 12.04 64 bits please ? [17:03] duhamel: scanners under linux is very difficult [17:03] yes. I am having a difficult time. === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [17:04] 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. [17:05] jihedamine: This might get you started http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wine [17:05] You could run Ubuntu live without installing. If you use Unetbootin it is very quick and easy, right in the start menu. [17:05] ki4ro thanks [17:05] Hi [17:05] 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] on my ubuntu 11.10, after a while it just starts lagging [17:06] how can i fix this? [17:06] 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] ill try checking it in windows [17:06] LukeNukem: Maybe increase your swap space...had to do that on mine...runs much better now [17:07] Hi [17:07] 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? [17:08] Amorris: have you tried other iso's or distrobutions? [17:08] ki4ro, how do i go about doing that [17:08] 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] e 'brother3.bus9;/dev1': Invalid argument. what do i do? [17:08] nope. im downloading the latest one now to try it (i burned this distribution a few months ago) [17:09] do you have a usb stick ? [17:09] how can i utilize ubuntu for network troubleshooting or forensics? [17:09] ki4ro, ? [17:10] 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] bo_ dd rescue and dd are very powerful forensics tools. Gparted is good to. [17:10] i've also heard ubuntu is slow in general [17:10] duh: are these tools free? [17:11] ubuntu is 10x faster than any windows. [17:11] yes bo [17:11] duhamel: and 10x slower than any other Linux. [17:11] i just installed "ack-grep" .. but i want to run the command with just "ack" how and where do i change this? [17:11] they are in the repositories. also clonezilla is gfood. [17:11] <|Long|> ikonia, u here bud? [17:12] LukeNukem: Let me check [17:12] I fetched depot_tools from git clone https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git and typed export PATH="$PATH":`pwd`/depot_tools ,but it gives the error /usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory [17:12] ki4ro, i hear 11.10 is quite laggy in general [17:13] bo_: try downloading parted magic. it is a super powerful live distro that runs from ram so the footprint it leaves on systems you are trying to examine is minimal. [17:14] LukeNukem: I'm on 12.04 now. This is probably where I read on how to do it since I am a noob https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq/ [17:14] ki4ro, how do you feel on 12.04 from 11.10 [17:14] trest [17:14] test [17:14] test [17:14] hi all. prob a silly question, but just managed to get 12.04 installed and me /etc folder doesnt have a fstab file? has a empty fstab.d directory? needing to change my /home partition so need to know where to do this? [17:14] : [17:14] ubuntu__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:15] LukeNukem: I like it...still getting lots and lots of updates but it does seem stable to me [17:15] I fetched depot_tools from git clone https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git and typed export PATH="$PATH":`pwd`/depot_tools ,but it gives the error /usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory [17:15] what about the lag issue ki4ro [17:16] LukeNukem: I [17:16] captine: I've had success moving /Home with Gparted.. [17:16] LukeNukem: That seems to have gone away [17:16] thanks duhamel. let me try with that. [17:16] or dd... I don't remember now actually. sorry. [17:17] ki4ro, since the upgrade, did you lose your data, apps and so on? [17:17] hey there guys [17:17] did you upgrade or a clean instal [17:17] one firend of mine has tried installing Ubuntu like 7 times and it always fails with the same symptomes [17:17] LukeNukem: Not that I've noticed [17:17] the installer window at some point just dissappears [17:17] and that's it [17:18] LukeNukem: Not what you would call a power user though [17:18] no errors, no message windows, nothing [17:18] 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] have you considered learning linux and moving onto better distros such as redhat or debian or arch ki4ro ? [17:18] e 'brother3.bus9;/dev1': Invalid argument. what do i do? [17:18] the installation just never finishees [17:18] LukeNukem: Nah, getting too old for that stuff LOL Be 63 in a week LOL [17:18] 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 [17:19] ki4ro, plenty of time sir :) [17:19] is it possible to tell apt to only upgrade packages that will not require a restart? [17:19] 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] LukeNukem: LOL thanks [17:19] 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] ki4ro, mind if i PM? [17:19] can anyone help in this issue [17:20] cknox: normally only the kernel and hardware related updates requite restart, and even then you are not forced to restart [17:21] LukeNukem: Not at all [17:21] can anyone point me in the right direction for matching 3 lines in a text file [17:22] should i be using grep awk or sed [17:23] 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. [17:24] I'm not helpful. I'm a useless!

[17:34] I have tried installing it, but I seem to be unable to boot it. [17:34] When I try to boot from the drive, I get the message "Partition nor found" === Ant___ is now known as ant-man [17:35] Rhombix: Are you sure that it is the USB stick that you are booting from? [17:35] It's not a stick, but a 320GB hard drive [17:35] Oh [17:36] But, yes, that is what I'm booting from [17:36] How did you install it to the USB drive? [17:36] from what OS etc [17:36] I booted Ubuntu from a CDr drive [17:36] From the prompt, "Try Ubuntu/Install Ubunutu" [17:37] Okay [17:37] I don't understand much about partitions [17:38] hi, can anyone help me with an ubuntu one problem please? [17:39] Are you sure your BIOS let's you boot from USB? [17:39] anaim: shout [17:39] I'm not 100% sure, how would I ensure that? [17:39] Rhombix: by looking into boot order in BIOS for example [17:39] Hey guys can someone help me for second? [17:40] Rhombix a part-ition is a part of your harddisk, linux uses such parts to be installed [17:40] ericus: if it wasn't enabled in bios it should just ignore the usb device anyway [17:40] I don't really know how to change stuff in the BIOS...

Would it be possible to encrypt another drives and have them auto-mounted when I log in? [17:44] zimbres: that won't work, you'll have to use something like dd.

[17:46] @MonkeyDust just wondering if you could help me with ubuntu one, all my files/folders will sync except my public_html folder, is this a permission problem?

[17:47] @MonkeyDust /home/public_html [17:48] anaim i'll try what it does here [17:48] zimbres: I googled this, it's from Arch but it's largely distribution-agnostic. Just pay attention to the documentation. You only need the 'Overwrite the USB drive' section https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media [17:49] @MonkeyDust sorry, i didnt understand that last message, try what? [17:49] Hallo [17:49] aha [17:49] anaim try if it syncs on my pc [17:50] du schreibst englisch das verstehe ich nicht [17:50] @MonkeyDust oh ok thanks [17:50] !de [17:50] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

I don't want to break anything but I really want to be on the latest kernel [19:50] I want to disable hard disk head-parking in software(!), not firmware persistenly. How can I achieve this? [19:50] Portugal: why do you want to be on the latest kernel [19:51] Portugal better test it on a non-productive system [19:51] Looks like ubuntu supports it, but sane doesnt. Is there any other software out there that works with scanners? [19:52] 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] Portugal: the kernel won't "speed it up" [19:52] Can someone help me with my Wireless? [19:52] I am having problems. [19:52] 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] ikonia: It might bring better ATI drivers support [19:52] Portugal: it's better to isolate where hte performance issue is and resolve that, than trying such random thing as updating the kernel [19:53] 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] ikonia: Ok, it is really slow and I have a decent graphics and 2GHz Dual-Core processor [19:53] 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? [19:54] Portugal: go for it [19:54] 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] Portugal: what's slow exactly? [19:54] Will the switchable graphics thing ever make it 100% to linux? [19:54] Nvidia/intel [19:54] kr3at0r: ask nvidia [19:54] #nvidia [19:54] ?

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] Portugal: fullscreen flash video sucks...well flash sucks in general in linux === tm_ is now known as Guest88715 [19:58] 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! === vitor_ is now known as shig [19:59] xangua: I have stopped using Flash, I don't even have it installed. [19:59] Portugal maybe you want something lighter [19:59] Random832: Then how am I going to watch YouTube? [20:00] Portugal: A lot of Youtube works with html5 [20:00] But not everything. [20:00] MonkeyDust: I tried installing Xubuntu through Wubi but it gives me the Error: Root FileSystem not 'something....' specified [20:01] Portugal wubi.... [20:01] ratcheer: The most popular and best channels don't work. Basically all channels that are partnered with YouTube [20:01] 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 ? [20:02] MonkeyDust: Wubi is my Only Shot... I tried Mint4Win but it also doesn't work [20:02] what is wipe amews_aj-study [20:02] Portugal: you can't properly partition it? [20:02] utility that can be used to wipe files, partitions or entire hdd [20:03] it's probably doing it in 16kb blocks [20:03] 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] Portugal is this slow video also with wubi? [20:03] Random832: No. I don't understand the installer and it doesn't give me the option to install it alongside Windows... [20:03] 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] 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. [20:04] 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] Is there anyway to disable any games (both in advertisements and in search results)? [20:04] Is there anyway to disable any games (both in advertisements and in search results) in the Software Center? [20:04] MonkeyDust: I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed nativelly last Christmas and it had the same kind of slowness. [20:05] What is the command to update to the latest version via. shell [20:05] 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] personally i think wipe is overkill unless you've got the NSA after you [20:05] Meris i use adblock, flashblock and ghostery to that end [20:05] Portugal: Sorry for the slow response. I personally would just rather not watch Youtube than have Flash on my system. [20:05] 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 [20:06] ratcheer: Is there a YouTube video client besides MiniTube? [20:06] 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] Portugal i guess vlc handles streaming media [20:06] 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] Meris i use chromium [20:07] MonkeyDust: I presume I would have a lot of work just to watch a YouTube video on VLC... [20:07] anyone around who might know what style property does the orange border around active buttons? [20:07] MonkeyDust, again, Chromium is a browser, Software Center is not. My question topic was the Software Center, not a browser. [20:07] hey hey :D [20:07] Portugal: I don't know. I don't use anything called Minitube. [20:08] MonkeyDust, thanks for trying to help though. [20:08] Meris i missed a part of your initial question [20:08] help i cant mount my phone my pc [20:08] ! [20:09] amews_aj-study: is that person an NSA agent? [20:09] 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] it wont show up in the file manager do any o u now why? [20:09] 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] bradon: What phone is it? [20:09] samsung freeform 2 [20:09] 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. [20:10] port samsung freeform 2 [20:10] 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] 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] amews_aj-study: just use dd if=/dev/zero of=disk [20:11] that's good enough for anyone who doesn't have an electron microscope [20:11] bradon: sorry. I really don't know the answer. Maybe it requires a specific driver or software... [20:11] using if=/dev/urandom might be good enough even if they do - stuff like shred and wipe is for the super paranoid [20:11] no becouse it has mount before! [20:12] !myphone wont mount help! [20:12] brandon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:12] 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] Lil: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 [20:12] ubotto i hate u [20:12] 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] haha [20:13] What format is a Linux Hard Drive usually on. FAT32, right? [20:13] pooo [20:14] Portugal: No, usually ext3 or ext4 [20:14] Portugal, You *are* kidding, right? [20:14] Portugal: No, not FAT32, Ubuntu is normally EXT2/3/4 [20:14] ummmmmmmm !help! [20:14] thanks ratcheer [20:14] hey, what the heck happened to ubuntu 12.04 [20:14] why the hell is the crosscompile env so damn broken? [20:14] i cannot mount my phone! [20:14] !please | brandon [20:14] 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] 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] Meris: I don't go on the Ubuntu Support IRC chatrrom to joke [20:14] 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. [20:15] but there are some people who insist on 25 of specific patterns and then multiple passes of randomness [20:15] Portugal: no, the default file system is ext4 these days [20:15] guntburt please man just leave me alone [20:15] 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. [20:16] btrfs vs zfs [20:16] which is fastest [20:16] !poll | kr3at0r [20:16] 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] Is there a way to create a Ext4 partition from Windows? [20:16] hi [20:16] a filesystem isn't an application [20:16] retard [20:16] Portugal: no, why? [20:16] how to create a live cd in ubuntu [20:16] amews_aj-study: well the traditional way is dd if=/dev/zero of=disk [20:16] jr3ator hes just a bot ingore him [20:16] Random832, Great to know :) [20:16] oh and bs=1M - default dd block size is slow as all hell [20:17] kr3at0r: Calling people names won't help you get questions asked [20:17] Gunbert: Because I would like to Linux Mint or Xubuntu on it [20:17] !attitude | kr3at0r no "what is better" discussions here please [20:17] krat0r * [20:17] kr3at0r no "what is better" discussions here please: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[20:20] ubuntu 11.10 samsung freeform 2 [20:20] baazigar: power managment menu [20:20] I am cloning a repo and it sleeps in between. [20:20] baaz [20:21] !tab | brandon [20:21] brandon: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:21] go to the battery [20:21] guntbert: What you mean by that? So, Wubi doesn't give me the real Ubuntu or What? [20:21] then power setting [20:21] then chang it [20:22] 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] Portugal, it is the real ubuntu [20:22] Portugal: right, the whole installation is just inside one file in the windows file system - not too reliable :) [20:22] 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] brandon, ikonia , the options say do nothing when idle. [20:22] baazigar: that's a bit worrying [20:22] ok [20:22] guntbert: But I want to dual boot and the installer doesn't let me do that for some reason [20:23] elllop [20:23] well idle to all [20:23] 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] i guess people arnt gonna awnser my qeastion [20:23] I only own the thing less then a week, but my LCC is already on 6899 [20:24] 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] hi.. need help in getting the HDMI to work on UBUNTU 1204 [20:24] installing from iso works better than wubi [20:24] and faster [20:24] I am on DELL XPS L501X [20:25] guntbert: I tried that but the installer doesn't give me the option to install Ubuntu along Windows [20:25] Portugal: you need to have free/unallocated space on the disk [20:25] there seems be a problem with the nVIDIA drivers i guess [20:25] ikonia, I have [20:26] I have like 40GB and it would be 60 if I unninstalled Wubi [20:26] ikonia [20:26] Portugal: you booted the live CD and selected "install"? [20:26] yes [20:26] hi [20:26] what do u recon is the best server os for a media server [20:26] Then it only gave me 2 options: Erase all and install and Advanced Partition [20:27] ikonia, I think that was it [20:27] anyone who can help with my HDMI issues [20:27] Portugal: you have no unallocated space [20:27] yeah [20:27] boot a live session from a cd [20:27] ikonia: NOOOO, I have 40 GB and it would be 60GB without Wubi [20:28] Portugal: YEEEEEEES you're whole disk is allocated to the windows partition [20:28] and use gparted to unlocate sme space [20:28] Portugal: that is "no unallocated" space [20:29] 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] yes [20:29] 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] does someone know what it is ? Google doesn't. [20:29] but unallocated space means unpartitioned space [20:29] 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 [20:30] ikonia: Ok. What do I need to do? [20:30] lJ6il : try running the live CD [20:30] Portugal: exactly what I told you approx 20 lines up [20:30] ok thanks pvssanjeev [20:31] you must shrink a partition from Windows [20:31] the bootconfig would have been corrupted [20:31] Portugal: you need to have free/unallocated space on the disk: ikonia, this? [20:32] Portugal: you need to shrink your windows partition from a liveCD so you have unallocated to space to install ubuntu to [20:32] Portugal: If u have windows.. u can try logging and shrinking ur volume there as well [20:32] pvssanjeev: he can't do it from within windows as the partition will be in use [20:33] ikonia and pvssanjeev. After the install, will I have the Windows bootloader or grub? [20:33] Portugal: grub [20:33] ikonia: he can use Partition Manager in Win7, what Windows does he have? [20:33] Ikonia: i remember doing that in windows... i shall go with you [20:33] Portugal: yes [20:34] ikonia: with win vista/win7 its partition manager can resize/shrink ntfs partitions on the fly even when they are in use [20:34] try it, it fails more often than not [20:34] i've done it many times :) [20:34] 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] I would not resize any partition that is in use from any os [20:35] Portugal: If u r installing within windows... it would be WINDOWS BOOT LOADER. If this is a parallel it would be grub [20:35] 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] ikonia: trust me, I've done it MANY times. it does work [20:35] nonr [20:36] need some help on HDMI-UBUNTU-NVIDIA [20:36] 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 [20:37] Portugal: linux mint uses grub [20:37] Portugal: either way, I'm no longer interested, if you need help with mint the channel is on a different IRC network [20:38] Would you recommend proprietary nVidia drivers or default Ubuntu OpenSource drivers, for an nVidia card? [20:38] HelloWorld321: depends on the card and the support / performance you requrie [20:38] require [20:38] HelloWorld321: try the proprietary onne first, if you like it: keep. If not go with the opensource one [20:40] 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? [20:41] HelloWorld321: again, depends on your card [20:42] I dont get it, firefox is serving up completely blank pages for a number of different sites. including ubuntuforums.org [20:42] 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] 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] hey guys, what does it mean when i see a bunch of processes that say [fuser] defunct in my machine? [20:42] 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] i must have like 100's of these [20:42] jasonbourne: 1.) it's called "Windows" not "windoze" [20:43] 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] correction, 1000's of processes that say: 30642 ? Z 0:00 [fuser] [20:43] I like to call Billy Boy Gates junk Windoze.... [20:43] ikonia, when youŕe watching that little hourglass it feels like Windoze [20:43] jasonbourne: PlayOnLinux, available at the Software Center [20:43] timothyjr: it's called Windows [20:43] jasonbourne: I'd advise you to stay clear of PlayOnLinux and Wine as a solution for games [20:43] ikonia - sorry but your wrong because I know it's possible just don't know how to do it... [20:43] I know what itś called [20:44] jasonbourne: what do you mean "I'm wrong" [20:44] ikonia - you say its looking for trouble when I know that it's possible... [20:44] jasonbourne: I didn't say it wasn't possible [20:44] jasonbourne, whine on #wine [20:44] ^ [20:44] jasonbourne: there are abstraction layers tools such as "wine" (playonlinux is a front end to that) [20:45] 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] 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] ikonia: It's an nVidia GT430 (VGA EVGA|01G-P3-1431-KR GT430 1G R) [20:45] jasonbourne: the guys in #winehq can walk you through your wine journey should you choose to progress it [20:45] HelloWorld321: you'll have to research it's compatability [20:46] 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] hi [20:46] ikonia - I'll try there... [20:46] I've just installed Ubuntu and I'm unable to boot === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|Off [20:46] The error messafe reads "partition not found" [20:47] Rhombix, did you let grub do its install to the first harddrive? [20:47] #winehq [20:47] I installed it to a 320GB USB drive [20:47] woh woh soh soh [20:47] so I'm having problems with booting ubuntu with an NFS root. the initrd mounts everything just fine, but then when init (upstart) starts, it goes for a while, then about 30 seconds later the system freezes and the screen displays garbage pixels [20:47] Just wanted to say, I've been working on this for 12 hours now, and any help would be much appreciated... [20:48] no blinkin' lights on the keyboard, idk if the kernel paniced or what but I can't ping the box at that point === Caspercom|Off is now known as Caspercom [20:49] HelloWorld321, : NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] works fine with the additional 295.40 driver [20:49] I'm looking for ideas as to which upstart script might have caused that... I'm guessing it was some init script [20:49] I've read that my problem may be caused by the partitioning [20:49] went into mcdonalds today and ordered a big mac for her [20:49] and ordered 2 mcgrittles one for each kid. one had bacon one without [20:49] plivent: stop [20:49] plivent: Wrong channel [20:49] It's possible that the boot info is written to a part of the drive that is innaccessible to my BIOS [20:50] Anyone knows how to get windows to recognize hdds in kvm?

[21:00] Portugal: I won't ask you again - stop with that sort of thing [21:01] ikonia, Ok. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. [21:01] Not to nag, but anyone able to help out with gcc? [21:01] hector549: just ask the question, if someone can help they will [21:02] Hey I was using unetbootin to boot a live usb, does unet not work? [21:02] alusion: UNet does work with most of the distroes [21:02] 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. [21:03] hector549: why do you think that's a problem with gcc ? [21:03] 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 [21:04] 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] hector549: ok, so it's either going to be an incompatability between dependencies, a missing dependency or a bug in the code [21:04] If you are using it to create a LiveUsb of Ubuntu, you rather use Startup Disk Creator which comes pre-installed with Ubuntu alusion [21:05] hector549: can you pastebin the command line you used? the placement of -lm matters in 11.10+ [21:05] trism: http://pastebin.com/GkmBeHCM [21:06] Where to get more help on command 'pacmd' ? I have no SINK for an otherwise detected CARD (ie. 'pacmd list-sinks' does not see my USB device, 'pacmd list-cards' does) [21:06] hector549: gcc -o sintest sintest.c -lm [21:07] trism: You win 1000 kudos. Thank you very much. [21:07] hector549: no problem [21:07] trism: slick [21:07] I'm thinking of creating an App, I've done one before in XCode for Mac so I gotta learn a lot of stuff, which app do you guys recommend I use? I want something simple and super GUI-based [21:08] Portugal, gambas2 [21:08] thanks [21:08] Portugal, it's RAD-like [21:09] Portugal, very gui oriented and uses BASIC [21:09] (or some kind of "gambas" BASIC..) [21:09] Portugal, I believe gambas3 is out.. i dont know if its in the repos [21:10] jagginess: no, it's not [21:12] where have all the settings UI's gone in unity desktop? [21:12] jagginess: Gambas 3.2 has been released on sourceforge [21:12] the screensaver pane has disappeared, cannot be navigated to from system settings === alexhairyman_ is now known as alexhairyman [21:13] and the power pane is a joke; it has two configurables, and a tip regarding a brightness setting that isnt there [21:14] im trying to turn off display deactivation (how it turns off the display when its idle for a while) [21:14] species: stop that ranting in a support channel - it will not help to improve anything [21:14] these things need to be added back in. [21:14] i appreciate that there's been an overhaul [21:14] Then create feature requests instead of ranting. [21:15] species the system won't be altered for the needs of one individual [21:15] Portugal, https://launchpad.net/~nemh/+archive/gambas3 [21:16] i doubt that screensaver settings are the needs of just one individual [21:16] jagginess: I already have it through SourceForge, but thanks [21:16] there must be issues filed already? [21:17] species. Do you have any questions? If not, byebye [21:17] 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] species take a look at !brainstorm, maybe someone did [21:17] Portugal, (it's 3.2 which is pretty recent in PPA) [21:17] right but these things used to be there [21:18] its not a new feature request [21:18] ok === The is now known as Guest61709 [21:19] hey guys === Guest61709 is now known as Bijan588 [21:20] I have a question [21:20] 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] what could cause consistant filesystem corruptions? [21:21] Bijan588, which linux filesystem? [21:21] Bijan588: There are numerous causes for a filesystem to get corrupted. [21:21] EXT2 [21:21] Bijan588: large magnets? [21:21] bad cable, overheating cpu [21:21] Its a macbook g4 [21:21] you should consider a journaling filesystem if you are experiencing corruption [21:21] ibook* [21:21] Bijan588, it could be hardware [21:22] After an fsdisk check the problem seems to go away, so its hard to day what the issue is. [21:23] Bijan588, maybe the drive was overheating.. does the drive support s.m.a.r.t ? [21:23] No\ [21:23] ooh heres a problem... [21:23] ive searched for "screensaver" in the untity interface and its run xscreensaver [21:23] which is now telling me it wants to disable gnome screensaver [21:24] Bijan588: are you unmounting the filesystem properly? [21:24] species: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64086/how-can-i-change-or-install-screensavers [21:25] well, this is a defect i think [21:25] am i wrong in suggesting that the first search option for a term such as "screensaver" should not be xscreensaver? [21:25] given that gnome has moved over to gnome screensaver? [21:26] species: Why do you think that search results have to semantically in the order you want them or even sorted? [21:26] xscreensaver is no longer the default right>? [21:27] tmux shortcuts not working in my terminal, does anybody knows how to troubleshoot that? [21:27] bekks: actually, its the only result if you search for "screensaver" [21:28] species: its only default in xubuntu, ubuntu uses gnome-screensaver by default [21:28] should there be a UI for it? [21:28] Erm, anyone knows how do you solve the modem driver problem? [21:28] species: there is in the gnome control center, doesn't show up in unity dash [21:29] i think that is a defect. [21:29] im new to unity, and I understand that its still in its early stages, but a lot seems to be missing [21:30] species maybe it's you, not unity [21:30] species: actually I don't see an entry for it in gnome control center anymore either [21:30] MonkeyDust: im certain im not the only one in the world who uses a UI to configure screensavers, for example [21:30] think was settings for it there in either 11.04 or 11.10, but not in 12.01 i guess [21:30] How in the nine hells do I get my damned USB soundcard working, PulseAudio is a damned PEST :( [21:31] pseudonymous: usually all you should have to do is set it as output in the sound settings, unless something is weong [21:31] if its supported by alsa [21:32] pseudonymous: you install alsa :P [21:32] species i, for one, don't use screensavers [21:32] pseudonymous, i've used usb audio headset without problem.. same module may apply here.. sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio, then relogin [21:32] MonkeyDust: how do you turn them off with a fresh install of 12.04? [21:32] species http://shuffleos.com/3176/how-to-enable-screensavers-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelt/ [21:32] gnome has had very minimal screensaver/screensaver configs.. for some time now.. theres xscreensavers if you want more control [21:32] 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] species: do you just want to turn off screen blanking/locking? [21:32] species: there are options for those under "brightness and lock" [21:33] bwat47: i found that yeah [21:33] 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] (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] 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] 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] 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 [21:34] species i'm not the right person, to me, the command line IS basic :) [21:34] MonkeyDust: not if you are my mother [21:35] 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] pseudonymous: try running pulseaudio -k and then selecting it again [21:35] im a programmer, i spend most of my time in vim or an IDE, so the DE is never visible to me anyway, but in the past ive set up machines running ubuntu for family members === thallada_ is now known as thallada [21:35] with the current state of affairs it would be totally unsuitable for them [21:36] the last thing I need is for them to have to search google for what console commands to enter to get things done [21:36] because I will get non stop phone calls [21:36] * xurious hates that. [21:36] species: and we get non stop ranting from you :-( [21:36] well, this ends my evaluation of 12.04 i think [21:38] bwat47: lol - 'pulseaudio -k' actually worked, after some wrestling it ended up allowing me to select USB headset and then it worked [21:38] species you could start a blog [21:38] this file worked http://ideone.com/KDtWs so i splitted to 3 files header and 2 cpp files like http://ideone.com/qy6tZ but it wudnt compile pls anyone know the probs? [21:38] pseudonymous: yeah i've had that exact same issue! its a bug, and it seems to be fixed in pulseaudio 2.0. I had the same issue in other distros, including my archlinux install. it seemed to go away after arch got the pulse 2.0 update :) [21:39] im sure there are plenty of blog posts ranting about gnome3 [21:39] species: if you're a programmer, make some quick gui's to rectify the shortcomings you're dealing with ? (didn't read what the problem was, just passing on what I thought in relation to some problems of MINE) [21:40] pseudonymous: i was just asking a few questions, but i think my tone was disappointed sounding [21:40] !commands [21:40] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:40] bwat47: well thanks, man. I can't believe how especially audio continues to foil me. It seems like yesterday that we switched to Alsa and I was compiling support for it in my kernel and these days I'm no less stupified when it fck's up [21:40] pseudonymous: context: i had my parents on 9.04 for a while, and they were fairly happy, and I was evaluating 12.04 as a replacement [21:41] !ubottu [21:41] Hi!

I just moved both my parents to 12.04 and they didn't seem stomped on Unity [21:42] meh. Back to MINT! [21:42] species: you might want to look at gnome classic. needs a bit setting up but is otherwise pretty familiar === a5m0_ is now known as a5m0 [21:43] test [21:43] kvv: use #test fo testing [21:43] species i don't like unity, either, so i don't use it, i use classic [21:43] ive already looked at gnome classic, its actually a reimplementation of 2.0 like behaviour, but its not complete [21:43] MonkeyDust: does *anybody* like unity? [21:43] species: the key is to take their familiar icons, and write .desktop files for that in ~/.local/share/applications - as to retain familiar icons and text, but aside from that, neither of my parents were stumped (and one of them isn't really that quick to pick stuff up in general) [21:44] species: I actually like Unity as of 12.04. Sure it's canonical's pet-project and not that accessible to other distros (a SHAME!) but otherwise, it works quite well now. [21:44] species: yes, but usable for most [21:44] #test [21:44] kvv: no -- join the channel #test [21:44] kvv: You can use /join to join channels. Like this: /join #test [21:45] Ah, thanks. Sorry, I am new to IRC. [21:45] No problem :) [21:45] i might look at xubuntu [21:45] lubuntu [21:45] species: or mint mait [21:46] species: or mint mate* [21:46] it makes me sad that canonical are pouring so much effort into unity when it sucks so bad [21:46] waste of talent [21:48] luckily, microsoft are in the middle of making an even bigger mistake [21:48] :) [21:48] where is the setting file for vim in ubuntu? [21:48] tablet UI's should be the default on tablet PC's, and off by default on a desktop PC [21:48] species: what is so bad about unity ? Sure it *was* horrible. The performance, stability etc was off-the-charts-bad.. But now it's quite alright, and the HUD made it better for power-users. What's your gripe ? And especially, what makes you think your parents won't grok it ? [21:48] can't find anything in ~/home/user/.vimrc it doesnt exist [21:49] Pierre: it's ~/.vimrc === Owner_ is now known as Guest10974 [21:49] @Pierreb: I don't think there is a default vimrc [21:49] kvv: it doesnt exist [21:49] You need to create it [21:49] asnd ubuntu dont read it if i create it [21:50] or more like vim doesnt read it [21:50] Oh even when you restart vim? [21:50] yepp [21:50] 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, telling me no system disk is installed. The Mac OS boots fine. What did I break and how do I f [21:50] yes, trying to use same ui for mouse and touchscreen just doesnt seem to work well. [21:51] Pierreb: it should do [21:51] Pierreb: in vim, try :source ~\.vimrc [21:51] This maybe stupid but the file is /home/user/.vimrc [21:51] not ~/home/user/.vimrc [21:51] erm yes [21:51] Pierreb: ~ is an alias for /home/ [21:52] so you want ~/.vimrc [21:52] yes i know i jsut wrote wrong [21:52] Pierreb: in vim issue :version to see where it is looking for the file [21:52] ok [21:52] Pierreb: :version [21:52] oh, beaten to it [21:52] user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc" [21:52] Pierreb: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Open_vimrc_file [21:53] an someone please help me?

I need to get this working and I'm not finding the answers I need. [21:54] Pierreb: so create a file .vimrc in your home directory, it will be honored [21:54] I read that ubuntu took xulrunner out of the repos [21:54] :source ~/.vimrc worked [21:54] well, so far so good [21:54] still strange that vim won't read it at the start [21:54] yeah [21:55] and :version tells you that it went through ~/.vimrc ? [21:55] Pierreb: it does read it [21:55] Pierreb: could you paste the output from :version into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?

But did you say one had no connection? [22:03] hi JamezQ, both computers are connected to my router [22:05] mdel: do you see any files with the name nvidia* in "/etc/modprobe.d/" ? === hari is now known as Guest99702 [22:07] dumnut_: Alright, there are many ways. For me I just can right click the folder, and then click properties->share->share this folder [22:07] My Windows 7 partition is recognised and it mounted when I go to it in nautilus, but is there any way to have it auto-mounted when I log in? [22:07] dumnut_: I might have set up something before that, let me look. Other ways you can do with are a local ftp or sftp connection. [22:07] hello. i copied theme to /usr/sharethemes but cant change it with obconf. no permission [22:08] JamezQ: ok, how can i setup with ftp or sftp? [22:08] alis is really helpful. [22:08] @ the one who recommended it to me [22:08] mrdeb: does obconf let you edit the theme? if so, try unpacking to ~/.themes/ instead [22:09] Krenair: you can have your Windows 7 partition mounted at boot if you add a line to your "/etc/fstab" file [22:09] trism: no it wont. i want it in usr/share/themes it worked before [22:10] mrdeb: no idea then, either directory should work in general, but I haven't used obconf in a very long time, sorry [22:10] dumnut_: You would download a ssh server, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" should be enough [22:10] i will fix it [22:10] Krenair: the man page "man fstab" will give you the correct syntax to mount your Windows drive [22:11] dumnut_: After that, you get the computers local ip, and select connect to server in nautilus. And choose ssh [22:11] JamezQ: will try that === Guest99702 is now known as harikt [22:13] dumnut_: The ssh server should start right after the install, so after that just do a "ifconfig" to find the local ip. [22:15] JamezQ: will do === bluesrph85 is now known as bluesrph85|afk [22:18] i dont know i give up [22:19] that makes 2 of us === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [22:21] Hello, I am installing linux on a computer system for a friend of mine, and he has a LogiTech quickcam camera with the ''cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86'' error, and will nearly make his machine crawl with it plugged in until its removed. Is there a patch or solution for this? [22:23] ironhoof try cheese, it's a program name [22:23] Im familiar with cheese. This is also not just a webcam problem, its a problem with one of the usb drivers it seems. maybe snd-usb-audio [22:24] I did a modprobe -r snd-usb-audio and put it back, and it worked. [22:24] but it doesnt work everytime [22:25] It hasa built in microphone, he doesnt so much car about the webcam itself as much as the microphone [22:26] I recently updated to Ubuntu 12.04 and am having issues with MySQL. It seems to launch the two instances at once and I get "Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Address already in use" as well as a lock reports on the innodb log files.

The triple monitors work fine in Windows 7, but not Ubuntu. I have followed tutorials to install AMD drivers and still no luck. Any ideas? Thank you. [22:48] NastyNaz: the current Mac OS has its roots in BSD, which is basically unix; ubuntu is a linux distro, and is also basically unix. in these respects, they are similar.

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] vadi2: I'm sure it said more than "failed" [23:00] kanilot - installed it and didnt help [23:00] ikonia: yes, it said linux images depend on it, but it won't be installed [23:00] NastyNaz: you wont be able to run gnome or other X11 desktops on it without serious work [23:00] vadi2: ahh so you've updated your kernel too [23:00] hector549 thank you, i will go attempt to do that [23:00] That's what I'm trying to undo. [23:01] NastyNaz: although, you can dual boot; my experience has been that its somewhat uncertain to work well [23:01] 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] 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] 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] I didn't add any ppa's, I've only run a script which installed kernel + that wireless. [23:01] vadi2: I doubt your computer had a slow hard disk [23:01] ikonia: ... [23:02] vadi2: the io subsystem hasn't really changed in years [23:02] NastyNaz: there is not a lot to learn, its very simple [23:03] some people find it too simple for comfort [23:03] NastyNaz: but i think this conversation is off topic for an ubuntu channel [23:03] NastyNaz, apps [23:03] ciao [23:03] what if i sudo rm / [23:03] superuser: you don't do that [23:03] no-one should use that command [23:04] !danger [23:04] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [23:04] superuser: you would DIE [23:04] superuser a superuser should know what does [23:04] it* [23:04] 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] ... kinda limited.. [23:05] i know what it dose im just testing you guys [23:05] superuser: then don't [23:05] superuser: people could see that and run it [23:05] 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] my apologizes to anyone who just broke there computer [23:06] What a dumb "test". [23:06] superuser: please don't mess around in here, suggesting that sort of thing or slackware [23:06] superuser: Just don't say stupid stuff [23:06] NastyNaz: ive since switched to ubuntu for my job, web dev, using windows for game development (which is just my hobby) [23:07] dose anyone need help? === jerico is now known as Guest24382 [23:07] no [23:07] superuser: if they did, they would be asking [23:07] Yeah, like I was. I've finally fixed the problem. [23:07] mabie there shy. [23:07] superuser: please stop messing around, please. [23:07] dpkg --force-depends --purge on both kernel and wireless-crda, then installed wireless-crda again, and now it's all fine [23:07] 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. [23:08] NastyNaz: i dont yet know what you actually *do* [23:08] It is very nice hardware.... over priced IMO.... but nice. [23:08] so I cannot really comment [23:08] pckchem: you get what you pay for; which for some reason is a machine carved out of a solid block of Aluminum [23:09] species: sit around on IRC mostly. Bit of maths programming in C and excel when I have to work. [23:09] some of the hardware you can't find anywhere else, ive never used a better trackpad than on a mac [23:09] hi, how can i enable xorg listening for other LAN hosts? [23:09] ubuntu 12.04 === isabelle is now known as Guest82965 === anonymous is now known as Guest39108 [23:10] offtopic: just tested that forbidden command with extra override-options in virtualbox: "rm ... cannot remove ... operation not permitted" [23:10] MonkeyDust: it's core utils that has protection built in, but there are situations where it won't work [23:11] 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] species: NastyNaz maybe you could take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:11] yeah, probably [23:12] ikonia: I'm done [23:12] hi, how can I put my ubuntu installation on minimal? [23:12] I don't want most of the packages [23:13] How can I tell which MTA I am running on ubuntu? [23:13] magma: Just start uninstalling stuff. [23:13] Test, test... [23:13] magma, easy solution is to pop open software center, flip to installed tab, and start uninstalling anything that looks unnecessary. [23:13] Oh good. It wasn't letting me talk earlier. [23:14] pckchem: thanks. I will do that :P [23:14] 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. [23:15] Can anyone help me get my boot to work?? See http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092360/ [23:15] 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] Everytime I boot it dumps me to a grub cli [23:15] OneZeroOne: lol [23:15] But I know it's nearly correct and good [23:15] Tried burning nice, friendly vanilla Ubuntu to disc, tried booting to that hoping to just install regular Ubuntu instead [23:15] OneZeroOne: Why would you expect a server to have a GUI? [23:16] I've never messed with servers before. I wasn't sure what to expect [23:16] OneZeroOne: Ok, fair enough.... [23:16] 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] Haha, lesson one, they don't always have GUI's. [23:16] So I see. [23:16] 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? [23:17] Anyway, now I can't seem to make it boot to my nice, comfortable, regular Ubuntu boot disc. [23:17] 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] OneZeroOne: So, how did you do with regular Ubuntu? [23:17] Oh? [23:17] OneZeroOne: You got it all installed, right? [23:18] 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] 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] NastyNaz: turn it off and save the planet [23:18] OneZeroOne: check the disk ... md5 [23:18] ikonia: I need it running for webserver/compiling [23:18] OneZeroOne: md5sum [23:19] OneZeroOne: Then google it. [23:19] usr13_: one sec. [23:19] NastyNaz: right, so don't make it work harder and draw more power [23:19] OneZeroOne: Google the checksum [23:19] OneZeroOne: just boot to the server and then add the GUI [23:19] 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] install ubuntu-desktop [23:19] 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. [23:20] OneZeroOne: First off, what did you download? Ubuntu 12.04? [23:20] OneZeroOne: If you want to just install vanilla ubuntu, sometimes I have better luck with the alternate disk than the livedisk. [23:20] I just tried this.. do you think it will work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092369/ [23:21] tking: you need to configure your locale ... /msg ubottu !locale for more info [23:21] usr13_: just used the "Get Ubuntu now" link on the site, whichever version that is. I think it's 12.04 though [23:22] OneZeroOne: checksum? (show us..) [23:23] Working on it [23:23] OneZeroOne: you could run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... that would turn your server into a GUI [23:24] GeekSquid: I think the server is history. [23:25] Not getting anything when I run that command. Just sits there. [23:25] GeekSquid: Well, maybe not... OneZeroOne ? [23:25] Eeh, you don't install ubuntu-desktop on a server O_O [23:25] HiddenKnowledge: you can too [23:25] You can.. But that defeats the purpose.. [23:25] OneZeroOne: It takes a little bit. [23:26] Okay. Waiting patiently. [23:26] HiddenKnowledge: OneZeroOne doesn't want a CLI [23:26] Hi, how can I tell which MTA I am running? [23:26] What's a CLI? [23:26] OneZeroOne: command line interpreter [23:26] rzaar: ubuntu uses postfix by default [23:26] OneZeroOne: md5sum ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso ? [23:26] GeekSquid: Then why would he even install it using the server installation? [23:27] ikonia: but what if it was running exim, how would I know? [23:27] 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] And I would use xubuntu or kubuntu instead of ubuntu then, if it's for a server. [23:27] HiddenKnowledge: because I'm an idiot (read: n00b) and didn't know that servers don't have GUIs [23:27] rzaar: you'd have installed exim....so you'd know you'd installed exim [23:27] 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] I tried setting update-alternatives for java but it says none are available [23:27] 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] Enough about server install, he wants a Desktop System. [23:27] Because the normal ubuntu uses gnome which is pretty bloated for a server [23:28] hello, i get error when i try sudo apt-get build-dep scribus.<<<>>>> [23:28] HiddenKnowledge: normal ubuntu does not use GNOME ... Unity is the new Window manager .... you can install Gnome if you want [23:28] Ah, true. It's still bloated though. [23:28] 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] For a server, that is. [23:29] Has anyone tried using cinelerra? [23:29] hello, i get error when i try sudo apt-get build-dep scribus.<<<>>>> [23:29] I have been using a bunch of video editors and they are all AGGRIVATING [23:29] 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] 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] OneZeroOne: just install a gui, it's not a problem, whatever desktop you like, install it [23:30] I'm trying to make an AMV [23:30] OneZeroOne: simple solution [23:30] Works for me. [23:30] Areckx have you tried openshot? [23:30] hello community! [23:30] OneZeroOne: I would suggest xfce xubuntu-desktop [23:30] MonkeyDust:: that one kept crashing [23:30] 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. [23:31] OneZeroOne: you might want to look at this http://minecraft.codeemo.com/ [23:31] baazigar: ON what package? [23:31] MonkeyDust:: and was still very annoying when I just wanted to select two different time periods and cut out a simple clip [23:31] usr13_, scribus. [23:31] OneZeroOne: If you need any help setting it up, you can pm me at any time :) [23:31] 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 [23:32] usr13_, is it package base error? [23:32] baazigar, in the software sources properties, check "source code" checkbox [23:32] OneZeroOne, you mentioned old destop. HiddenKnowledge suggestion might have Some merit regarding the spec of this machine [23:32] baazigar: Give the exact command you used. [23:32] sudo apt-get build-dep scribus [23:32] 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 [23:33] glebihan, where is software sources properties? [23:33] baazigar, you can access it from the software center [23:33] Areckx: use gopchop to cut them apart, then bring them into the editor... seems to work better for me [23:33] on the phone... [23:34] baazigar, or launch the "software-properties-gtk" command [23:35] glebihan, i checked it, still i am getting this error.??? [23:35] 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 [23:35] baazigar, you need to run "sudo apt-get update" [23:35] !locale > kting [23:36] !locale | tking [23:36] tking: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ [23:36] does anyone have any idea how to solve the issue? I cloned my svn truck to a local directory, made a system link from eclipse workspace to that cloned directory. Eclipse package explorer is empty, but if i try and import the projects into eclipse, then i get an error "resource '....' already exists" === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:37] glebihan, updating, and i get a feeling that it will work this time. [23:37] GeeksOnHugs:: gopchop that sounds like a good idea [23:37] baazigar, it will [23:37] errr GeeksOnHugs thanks I'll check out gopchop [23:37] errr GeekSquid [23:37] BWAH lol [23:37] Areckx: no problem, ur, uh Hugs to you too [23:38] GeekSquid:: lol and Cinerella looks really complex but looks fully featured, I best learn it now [23:38] Would someone mind helping me install nvida drivers on an xbmcbuntu box? [23:39] hats: there is an xbmc ubuntu channel [23:39] hats: it's not an official ubuntu release. [23:39] !nvidia | hats [23:39] hats: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:39] may help you [23:40] alright, i will check that out. === bluesrph85|afk is now known as bluesrph85 [23:41] hats try #xbmc-pvr [23:44] niggers!

[23:49] MonkeyDust: it's /close if you want to close the buffer too :P [23:49] Mattias: Eeh, I think that depends on your client. [23:49] Might, I use weeChat so... [23:50] Mattias: While /part works across all clients. Atleast, it should. === bluesrph85 is now known as forumreader [23:50] will try it now [23:50] yeah, it only parted, but did not close my buffer === forumreader is now known as bluesrph85 [23:51] Mattias: On Irssi you use /wc to close the buffer [23:51] :P [23:51] mattias: /buffer clear [23:51] pckchem: but that only clears the buffer :P [23:52] /close is the way to go [23:52] mattias: sorry I joined half way through the ask, thought that was all you wanted. [23:52] Or /quit if you just want to get of the entire server. Lol >_> === n00b4lyfe is now known as Tasmania [23:52] off * [23:53] mattias: try this: http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html [23:53] pckchem: I was just explaining /part does not close the buffer :P [23:54] glebihan, it worked , thanks. [23:54] baazigar, you're welcome [23:55] mattias: looks like irc.look.part_closes_buffer is what you want in the .conf [23:56] Hey los3rz [23:56] pckchem: /close is a much more logical command :P [23:56] close buffer and channel [23:56] Get a better client ;) [23:58] weeChat is the best (^^♪ [23:58] kvm is just awesome [23:58] i just use pidgin [23:59] to think you could use a virtual machine on a headless server which does not have xorg, and connect to it so easily over the network :)
