| Lil | It's beer:30 somewhere! | 00:09 |
| compu | ?? | 00:10 |
| compu | um hello | 00:10 |
| compu | who do i ask for help? | 00:10 |
| Lil | compu; The channel.. | 00:11 |
| Lil | compu; Whoever can help will chime in | 00:11 |
| HiddenKnowledge | compu: You just ask your question 'to the channel', then someone might answer the question :) | 00:12 |
| compu | ok....uh.....compiz keeps quitting on me so i keep having restart it | 00:12 |
| compdoc | it only costs $50 | 00:12 |
| HiddenKnowledge | compdoc: ...? | 00:12 |
| compdoc | do you click to send the information about the crashes to conanical? | 00:13 |
| compdoc | have you updated your Ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| compu | uh it pops up something about bug reporting not supported or something | 00:13 |
| compu | and i always keep it up to date | 00:13 |
| compdoc | amd video? | 00:14 |
| compu | what about amd video? | 00:14 |
| compdoc | is that what the system uses? | 00:14 |
| compu | i have no idea | 00:14 |
| compu | and it just recently started doing this | 00:15 |
| compu | in fact the dialog box directed me to the support site which directed me here | 00:15 |
| Anxi80 | join #BlackberryDev | 00:15 |
| bwat47 | there was a compiz update a day or so back, maybe thats when it started for you | 00:15 |
| bwat47 | next time you get a pop up, click details and check if there's a big already reported | 00:16 |
| bwat47 | it'll say details: bug number if it is | 00:16 |
| compu | i dont think it had a details button | 00:16 |
| compu | and it usually doesnt pop up anything | 00:16 |
| compu | it usually makes me just lose the title bars and stuff | 00:17 |
| bwat47 | when you get the crash pop up there's usually 3 buttons across the bottom: details, leave closed, relaunch | 00:17 |
| compu | until i bring up a command line and type "unity --replace" or "compiz --replace" | 00:17 |
| compu | yes | 00:17 |
| compu | this was the first time it popped that up | 00:17 |
| Anxi80 | i need help getting java to be runnable from inside a bash script please | 00:19 |
| bwat47 | you can also report a bug manually by typing ubuntu-bug compiz in terminal | 00:19 |
| gsr | compu: I used to have that problem - didn't solve it (went away with upgrade) but look at fusion-icon. Goes beside the notification bar, you just right click and click refresh | 00:19 |
| MonkeyDust | compu there's a command to reset compiz to initial defaults, care to use it? | 00:19 |
| compu | fusion-icon? | 00:19 |
| compu | uh sure i'll save the command for later | 00:19 |
| bwat47 | compu: its unity --reset | 00:19 |
| compu | im kinda busy now | 00:19 |
| compu | k | 00:19 |
| compu | what will it do? | 00:20 |
| bwat47 | resets unity and compiz to default settings | 00:20 |
| compu | will it interrupt what im doing? | 00:20 |
| MonkeyDust | compu try this, your screen will start flashing, be careful gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace | 00:20 |
| uRock | is there a HowTo with all of the steps for installing and running tor? | 00:20 |
| bwat47 | sort of, compiz/unity will close and relaunch | 00:20 |
| gsr | can you use & in an alias? ie alias foo="bar &" ? | 00:20 |
| compu | oh ok | 00:20 |
| compu | thats fine | 00:20 |
| compu | lemme try it | 00:20 |
| Random832 | gsr: yeah | 00:21 |
| Random832 | but if you type "foo baz" it'll become "bar & baz" which makes baz a second command | 00:21 |
| Random832 | if you want to go more complicated you need to make it a function | 00:21 |
| gsr | right | 00:21 |
| gsr | could also do foo="bar & #" ? | 00:22 |
| shawnboy | my external usb drive doesn't show up when it is connected at boot time. 10.04 Lucid. Any suggestions? | 00:22 |
| gsr | shawnboy: does the drive show up in /dev? | 00:23 |
| Random832 | gsr: o dpm | 00:23 |
| Random832 | gsr: i don't know, but what's the point of that | 00:23 |
| shawnboy | gsr: Haven't looked. It doesn't show up on desktop or "places". | 00:24 |
| gsr | would make anything after foo a comment | 00:24 |
| Random832 | i think comment parsing happens before aliases | 00:24 |
| Random832 | dunno though, try it | 00:24 |
| gsr | shawnboy: is it currently not showing up? if so, run 'lsusb' and look for your drive - that will tell you if linux at least sees the hardware. | 00:25 |
| gsr | Random832, nope, seems to work - alias foo='ls #'; foo dirdoesntexist <-- works fine. | 00:26 |
| shawnboy | gsr i can reboot and try that. nowit is showing | 00:26 |
| compu | is there a way to reset my desktop? | 00:26 |
| shawnboy | BecauseI unplugged and plugged back in | 00:26 |
| compu | its all messed up now | 00:27 |
| compdoc | compu, did you install or activate any 'additional drivers' in the System Settings? | 00:27 |
| compu | no | 00:27 |
| compu | there were none available | 00:27 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| gsr | shawnboy, ok, reboot, and if the drive isn't in nautilus, run the lsusb command. then, unplug the drive, and replug it in (assuming thats whats been working for you), and run lsusb. If there is no different, its an ubuntu issue - which can be fixed by adding a line to your fstab file (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab) | 00:28 |
| compu | what drive? | 00:28 |
| compu | oh | 00:28 |
| compu | never mind | 00:28 |
| gsr | :) | 00:28 |
| shawnboy | gsr: Thanks. I will try that now. | 00:29 |

| kibbly | Hello, Would someone direct me to documentation or otherwise advise me if it is possible to install ubuntu onto a USB drive, from a windows host... in a way that makes absolutely no changes to windows, the registry, the filesystem or anything else? | 00:33 |
| IdleOne | !usb | kibbly | 00:35 |
| ubottu | kibbly: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:35 |
| kibbly | The information I found wants me to use a windows installer, which I fear would put some kind of change in the system that would cause a problem. | 00:36 |
| kibbly | I will go review what you have linked though. | 00:36 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: I'm guessing you probably want to follow the persistent install link. That will save any changes/files you create to the USB | 00:37 |
| kibbly | yeah, that would be awesome, IdleOne | 00:37 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: which means that when you reboot back to the USB the next time your files will still be there. of course it will be limited by the size of the USB | 00:37 |
| compu | im back | 00:37 |
| kibbly | but I have to accomplish it without leaving any noticible trace on the windows host.... | 00:37 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: it won't. | 00:38 |
| compu | and logging in and logging back out fixed the desktop problem | 00:38 |
| kibbly | yep, exactly... problem I'm having is getting the usb drive set up without messing with the host | 00:38 |
| compu | and resetting unity fixed the other problem | 00:38 |
| compu | so yeah | 00:38 |
| compu | bai | 00:38 |
| IcemanV9 | kibbly: UNetbootin is a great program to create a usbstick without destroy the Windows (host). i have done it many times. | 00:38 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: those links above will guide you. Follow them and there shouldn't be any problem | 00:39 |
| OerHeks | kibbly, one way is booting the cd, and use the tool in live mode, that won't toch your harddrive | 00:39 |
| OerHeks | *touch | 00:39 |
| kibbly | I'm not worried about destroying the windows host | 00:39 |
| kibbly | I'm worried about leaving any kind of trace behind that would angry the owner of the computer. If I understand what you have said, the pendrivelinux installer won't leave behind any trace? Then once I have the USB drive I can work in peace without fear of messing with the windows system? | 00:40 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: exactly | 00:41 |
| kibbly | I'm stuck here for three weeks without anything except an iPad... I'm dying | 00:41 |
| IdleOne | after you have confirmed that the USB stick boots properly, you would need to uninstall the pendrive tool from Windows. IF you want to. | 00:42 |
| kibbly | oh | 00:43 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: Well you need to install the tool so you can use it to create the bootable USB | 00:44 |

| kibbly | Would it be easier and less invasive on this system, if I did a CDR then installed from the CD to USB? | 00:47 |
| IdleOne | kibbly: yeah. | 00:48 |
| kibbly | I can't tell you how mental the owner of this computer is and how much I want to avoid another problem. Even the keyboard must be in the same place... I want to laugh as if I am kidding... | 00:48 |
| kibbly | but i'm not | 00:48 |
| kibbly | I appreciate the help, IdleOne... I'll go find a CDR. Thank you. | 00:48 |

| volti | got a vbox headless server, cant seem to connect to the rdesktop session, is there a trick | 00:52 |
| volti | > | 00:52 |
| volti | ? | 00:52 |
| shawnboy | gsr, tried what you said. USB HDD doesn't show up using lsusb when connected at boot time. I unplug and plug back in, then lsusb and it shows up. Any ideas? | 00:53 |
| volti | any one played with virtualbox headless? | 00:53 |
| Linix | please, someone get this straight for me | 00:54 |
| escott | shawnboy, if its not showing up on the bus at all that would seem to indicate a problem with the usb hub. what usb modules are loaded (lsmod) | 00:54 |
| Mattias | volti: sorry, I went with kvm today. installed windows as guest on a headless server :) was a fun experience | 00:54 |
| volti | dont doubt that, i have the machine running headless and all is well with normal rdp, just need to get into the machine through the vrde | 00:56 |
| volti | the port does not seem to be listening | 00:56 |
| shawnboy | escott, http://pastebin.com/VJRG43i1 | 00:58 |
| Mattias | I kinda like kvm now :D | 00:58 |
| escott | shawnboy, is that before or after you unplugged/replugged | 00:58 |
| shawnboy | escott, after replugged. | 00:59 |
| escott | shawnboy, want to see it from before | 00:59 |
| shawnboy | escott, okay, will reboot now, run lsmod, jump back to irc. | 01:00 |

| escott | !vnc | BlackBass | 02:04 |
| ubottu | BlackBass: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:04 |
| W4sp | Debolaz: echo $DESKTOP_SESSION or env | 02:05 |
| BlackBass | escott, I know what vnc is ... :/. Team viewer may hide it under a mask, but it is what it is | 02:05 |
| escott | BlackBass, that will link to the various vnc clients and servers | 02:06 |
| BlackBass | Mostly, I'm looking to be able to connect to my friends using windows. A lot the time, when we work we share desktops to see what each other is doing. | 02:06 |
| escott | BlackBass, undelete rarely works and shouldnt be relied upon | 02:06 |
| BlackBass | escott, I've had it work quite well. I don't rely on it, but on windows its saved my butt numerous times :P | 02:07 |
| BlackBass | escott, Maybe its a filesystem thing though aha :P. | 02:07 |
| Lil | Whenever I bootup, I get this "error: fd0 read error", but then the prompt comes up.. and it boots | 02:08 |
| escott | Lil, fd0 is floppy disk. so you can probably ignore that. blacklist the floppy module if you want to silence it | 02:08 |
| Lil | escott, How would I do that? | 02:09 |
| BlackBass | Lil, did you reinstall grub2 recently? | 02:09 |
| Lil | I just recently reinstalled ubuntu (older version), then upgraded to the latest version. I don't think it was happening untill after the upgrade | 02:10 |
| BlackBass | Lil, Hmm, alright. Do what escott said | 02:11 |
| [snake] | my vi editor is not showing things like "insert" as other people have it. I'm getting frustrated lol. | 02:11 |
| [snake] | is this fixable? | 02:11 |
| Lil | how would I do that, short of just pulling the dang floppy out? | 02:11 |
| [snake] | ahh nvm | 02:12 |
| [snake] | it's a big. | 02:12 |
| BlackBass | [snake], Try installing vim :P | 02:12 |
| [snake] | bug*, it is vim :/ | 02:12 |
| escott | Lil figure out what the floppy module is with lsmod and blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d | 02:12 |
| arand | [snake]: There's a difference between vim-tiny (default) and proper vim. | 02:13 |
| olio | i'm a newbie .i don't know how to install package which contain lot of .cpp and .h file in it .How to intall it ? | 02:14 |
| [snake] | arand, yeah, I'm reading some stuff. thanks though :) | 02:14 |
| arand | olio: Those are source code files, you normally have to compile it before using it. | 02:14 |
| arand | !complie | olio | 02:15 |
| excalibr | is it possible to peek into the content of a package that isn't yet installed? | 02:15 |
| IdleOne | !compile | olio | 02:15 |
| ubottu | olio: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 02:15 |
| W4sp | !packages | 02:16 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 02:16 |
| arand | excalibr: yes, if it's a .deb just open it with the archive manager, or unpack it in-place using dpkg-deb. | 02:16 |
| W4sp | OK. | 02:16 |
| excalibr | arand: uh no. i meant packages in apt-cache | 02:17 |
| arand | excalibr: apt-file can be used for that. | 02:17 |
| BlackBass | excalibr, Same shit, different pile. There all at /var/cache/apt/archives | 02:17 |
| excalibr | hah | 02:17 |
| h00k | BlackBass: please mind the language | 02:17 |
| zorg24 | I'm having some issues with hdmi on my laptop | 02:18 |
| zorg24 | namely the screen is getting cut off and no sound out | 02:18 |
| BlackBass | h00k, Oh sorry, I forgot some people still like to label gibberish as profanity. Heh. | 02:19 |
| [snake] | Okay I've got another question that I really need help on. Why do I have slow minecraft in 12.04, yet in 10.04 my minecraft was fast! I have the version-current nvidia-driver installed... which is recommended. :/ | 02:19 |
| zorg24 | oh its connected to a tv if that effects things | 02:19 |
| IdleOne | BlackBass: watch the gibberish also please. | 02:19 |
| zorg24 | [snake], is it the same version of minecraft? | 02:19 |
| L3top | zorg24: by cut off you mean that there is a larger area all around that you cannot see? and what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA. Also please give me the output of sudo aplay -l in a pastebin. | 02:19 |
| [snake] | zorg24, yes it is. | 02:20 |
| BlackBass | IdleOne, O.o. No moar gibbrish? hdjkshlahfe? *Rage face* | 02:20 |
| millertime | I'm having a tough time solving a bootloader issue installing 12.04 on a Portege 3505. I'm using plop via USB floppy to allow the system to boot from the Ubuntu flash drive. The installer seems to go fine but it boots to blinking cursor... | 02:20 |
| millertime | I've created a new partition table and tried a few different methods but can't get it to work | 02:20 |
| millertime | tried creating /boot and installing the bootloader directly to it, as well as to the overall disk as a whole | 02:21 |
| h00k | BlackBass: move on, just keep it appropriate with our guidelines, all we're asking | 02:21 |
| millertime | default options don't work | 02:21 |
| millertime | i assume it has something to do with plop (the MBR of the computer may have been changed to plop at some point) | 02:21 |
| AGracefulCluts | what does MBR mean? | 02:22 |
| millertime | master boot record | 02:22 |
| IdleOne | master Boot Record | 02:22 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Master Boot Record | 02:22 |
| L3top | Master Boot Record | 02:22 |
| L3top | lol | 02:22 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Lolz. | 02:22 |
| millertime | ^ | 02:22 |
| AGracefulCluts | thanks | 02:22 |
| millertime | any ideas what i can do here? tearing my hair out but the darn thing just won't boot! | 02:23 |
| zorg24 | L3top, I mean at each part of the screen is missing, like half of the launcher and most of top bar are missing also here's the output http://bpaste.net/show/Jtn0ho8ghiXWOgY76ZGv/ | 02:23 |
| AGracefulCluts | have you tried throwing it against the wall? | 02:23 |
| Favux | millertime are you sure it is a bootloader problem? Could it be a video problem? | 02:23 |
| millertime | yes | 02:23 |
| HiddenKnowledge | That could be the problem then :P | 02:23 |
| bazhang | !behelpful | AGracefulCluts | 02:23 |
| ubottu | AGracefulCluts: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 02:23 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Sorry. | 02:23 |
| millertime | gotta be bootloader. the GUI install works fine booting from the USB flash install | 02:23 |
| L3top | zorg24: it is called overscanning. It is the fault of your tv. one second while I read output | 02:23 |
| millertime | but i'm not sure, maybe | 02:24 |
| millertime | !guidelines | 02:24 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 02:24 |
| Favux | How old is the Toshiba 3505? | 02:24 |
| AGracefulCluts | isn't Lolz an off topic comment? | 02:24 |
| tucemiux | how do I check my hard drive for errors using a live cd? what's the command? I'm already booted up to ubuntu live cd | 02:24 |
| millertime | \topic | 02:24 |
| millertime | @Favux OLD, probably 10+ years? | 02:25 |
| L3top | zorg24: does: speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,3 make noise? | 02:25 |
| Favux | I think the problem is the Trident video driver. I bet that is what you have. | 02:25 |
| tucemiux | trident video card should work with vga drivers | 02:25 |
| millertime | Would that let the installer boot fine but fail to boot after install? | 02:26 |
| L3top | zorg24: the only way to actually deal with the overscanning issue with an Intel GPU is going to be with a custom modline. I am sort of interested in trying to generate one for you. | 02:26 |
| zorg24 | L3top, yes it does make sound | 02:26 |
| millertime | (btw sorry guys first time in the channel, if I'm off topic my apologies..happy to take this elsewhere if I should) | 02:26 |
| Favux | It might if the VESA driver worked for the Installer. | 02:26 |
| L3top | zorg24: well that is good news. I expect that we can get you audio at least. | 02:26 |
| zorg24 | L3top, ok that would be much appreciated | 02:26 |
| olio | IdleOne: can't use ./configure , bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 02:26 |
| bwat47 | is there a way to view apport's history? compiz just decided to randomly crash so i had it send a crash report but I'd like to look at the details of the crash again | 02:27 |
| HiddenKnowledge | millertime: What was your problem, again? | 02:27 |
| zorg24 | L3top, also yay for audio | 02:27 |
| millertime | After installing 12.04 it boots to blinking cursor | 02:27 |
| [snake] | I'm so glad I got vim working, I was using the wrong one. now I can write/comile/run c code from my phone with ssh. :p | 02:27 |
| HiddenKnowledge | millertime: Ah, can't help you with that, maybe someone else can, though. | 02:27 |
| [snake] | but now my graphics are sad :( | 02:27 |
| millertime | It was a sketchy install though; old Portege 3505 and it won't boot from USB so I'm booting from a plop floppy to get it to boot from ubuntu USB drive | 02:28 |
| olio | IdleOne: it contain lot of cpp and .h in it .how to install ? | 02:28 |
| L3top | zorg24: can I please get a pastebin of the output from xrandr -q | 02:28 |
| millertime | yeah, no worries, thanks anyway. my best guess is that the installer is confused by the plop trickery and it's installing the bootloader in the wrong place or something, but i've tried forcing it to install in multiple locations.. | 02:28 |
| trism | olio: it depends, there are many ways to build and install software, depending on the project (so you'll need to be more specific about what you are installing) | 02:29 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Hmm, I did that before, well, not on a Portege 3505, but I installed stuff with a plop floppy before. | 02:29 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Ubuntu, I mean | 02:29 |
| millertime | okay so not normally an issue then, that's good to know | 02:29 |
| L3top | olio, IdleOne gave you a link. You are compiling sourcecode. there is no one "do this" answer. | 02:29 |
| zorg24 | L3top, http://bpaste.net/show/NbNrp9vmoegzwLEg5Syg/ | 02:29 |
| Favux | Can you tell us the video chipset. Can you get a 'lspci | grep VGA'? | 02:29 |
| === root is now known as Guest77867 | ||
| Guest77867 | ok | 02:30 |
| Favux | Trident isn't supported anymore. You'd need a custom xorg.conf. | 02:30 |
| HiddenKnowledge | millertime: Did the installation itself work properly? | 02:30 |
| millertime | @Favux are you referring to my issue? | 02:30 |
| oscarvarto | Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu in a PC with a Nvidia Graphics Card and it seems to hang. Is there any known problem? | 02:30 |
| Favux | Yes millertime. | 02:30 |
| millertime | @Hidden I believe so, no errors or anything.. | 02:31 |
| millertime | @Favux Okay thanks. I'm downloading 11.10 for another system, is Trident supported on that distro? | 02:31 |
| L3top | zorg24: now I need cvt 1280 720 60 | 02:31 |

| |Long| | what is the cmd to restart desktop sharing?Failed to perform chroot() how i fix this | 02:32 |
| Favux | No it has been a while. I helped some Tridents quite a while ago. It was on old tablet PCs and we were trying to get the video and video rotation working. | 02:32 |
| |Long| | hi, i have this error ?Failed to perform chroot() how i fix this | 02:32 |
| zorg24 | http://bpaste.net/show/JlgkpyNAqhIoi1U31S0y/ | 02:32 |
| millertime | That's what the Portege is, it's a dinosaur.. | 02:32 |
| zorg24 | L3top, http://bpaste.net/show/JlgkpyNAqhIoi1U31S0y/ | 02:32 |
| millertime | I'm not worried about rotation or anything, just trying to use it as a light netbook basically | 02:33 |
| millertime | no concern for pen | 02:33 |
| Favux | That's what I thought. I would have to look up the threads. But we found the most recent Debian(?) version. | 02:33 |
| Lil | I attempted to blacklist the floppy, but no such luck :/ | 02:33 |
| Favux | Anyway we got it working, but without rotation. | 02:33 |
| millertime | Awesome | 02:34 |
| qw12 | anyone run their ubuntu 24-7 ? | 02:34 |
| bazhang | qw12, whats the real question | 02:34 |
| Lil | qw12, Of course.. | 02:34 |
| Favux | Anyway you have something to google or try using VESA instead. | 02:34 |
| millertime | Yeah, that's awesome, thanks for letting me know Favux. I was totally on the wrong track | 02:35 |
| Favux | You could start a thread on the forum. Probably better than this. | 02:35 |

| Lil | Is there anyway to get my system to go through with the boot, instead of showing me the grub options? | 02:36 |
| bazhang | qw12, whats the question | 02:36 |
| qw12 | bazhang: Lil whta power save options are there ? | 02:36 |
| bazhang | Lil, set the grub timeout to zero | 02:37 |
| Lil | bazhang, how would I go about that? | 02:37 |
| bazhang | qw12, do you have ubuntu installed at all? | 02:37 |
| qw12 | bazhang: i did, but stopped using it | 02:37 |
| bazhang | Lil, hold shift at boot to bring up the grub menu and edit it | 02:37 |
| qw12 | bazhang: and i see some laptop/power packages | 02:37 |
| bazhang | qw12, so why are you asking, whats the specific issue you need help with | 02:38 |

| subhadip | Hi, | 02:38 |
| subhadip | Whenever I open a LibreOffice file, a word doc or a spreadsheet, the icon on the launcher sometimes does not show up, instead a blank space is displayed. And sometimes the blank space and the icon both are displayed. Any idea why? | 02:38 |
| L3top | I will need a few minutes zorg24. In the meantime tell me if you have an /etc/asound.conf... pulse is probably taking this over. also check the install status of pavucontrol... sudo apt-cache policy pavucontrol | grep stall | 02:38 |
| Lil | bazhang, Holding shift doesn't seem to work? | 02:39 |
| zorg24 | L3top, oh gosh sometimes I hate pulse | 02:39 |

| olio | zorg24: i don't know how to install this package .It contain lot of cpp and .h filess in it .i'm newbie | 02:50 |
| zorg24 | olio, is there not a compiled version? | 02:51 |
| delac | olio: sudo apt-get install ultracopier | 02:51 |
| delac | olio: it is in the repos | 02:52 |
| delac | olio: no need to compile from sources | 02:52 |
| olio | zorg24: nope . i just extract the files | 02:52 |
| zorg24 | olio, then enter your password when prompted, don't be alarmed that don't see anything (yes not even ******) | 02:52 |
| olio | delac: thanks , but i want to learn "how to install such packages " | 02:53 |
| zorg24 | olio, run the command delac gave you | 02:53 |
| delac | olio: the "right" way to install stuff in linux is using either that command or some package manager as software center or synaptic | 02:53 |
| zorg24 | olio, if you ever run across a program that their isn't a package for its probably not stable | 02:54 |
| delac | olio: only programmers compile from sources | 02:54 |
| olio | zorg24: delac : i want to use commands , | 02:54 |
| zorg24 | olio, then use sudo apt-get install | 02:55 |
| olio | zorg24: please , don't play with me . i don't want to use informal way .I want to use formal way like compiling and then install | 02:56 |
| delac | olio: then you should learn how to use "make". | 02:56 |
| delac | olio: however, that is no little thing to handle | 02:57 |
| L3top | zorg24: Please run each of these individually http://bpaste.net/show/S4fzJH1qPcesrDmLvqS7/ and tell me if any of them throws an error, do not continue if one throws an error, just tell me which and what. | 02:57 |
| olio | delac: ok ! i'm ready .tell me | 02:57 |
| L3top | zorg24: I do not believe you will need sudo privelege... | 02:57 |
| delac | olio: sorry, but I dont have time to give a lecture about compiling. That would take hours. :) | 02:58 |
| delac | olio: not that I'm even that qualified to do it. | 02:59 |
| zorg24 | L3top, no errors or output, only the third seemed to do anything | 02:59 |
| olio | delac : make is a cli based tool to compile many files of same type in one go | 02:59 |
| craigbass1976 | is there some alternative to ping that will immediately give up after x amount of time rather than having a long pause to find out whether a packet made it or not? | 02:59 |
| L3top | zorg24: if this works correctly... it should resize your output on the fly, and you can tell me any differences you see, if it needs more.. horizontal or vertical. Correct... only the third line will do what the other two tried to create. | 02:59 |
| zorg24 | L3top, now the top of the screen isn't overscanning | 03:00 |
| L3top | bottom and sides? | 03:00 |

| olio | bazhang: i know , but i want to learn how tto install such type of package | 03:05 |
| olio | bazhang: please , tell me the correct way | 03:05 |
| bazhang | olio, then install build-essential and do some reading on how to compile. | 03:05 |

| olio | bazhang: done ! and read ,what have you given to me | 03:06 |
| olio | bazhang: now ! | 03:06 |

| Brombomb | Is there a way to find what caused a segmentation fault? | 03:21 |
| hwkiller-netbook | look at the code I suppose | 03:22 |
| Brombomb | no code | 03:22 |
| L3top | zorg24: please reboot. I believe the changes will not be preserved. I will wait. | 03:22 |
| Brombomb | or log message | 03:22 |
| Brombomb | just "Segmentation fault" | 03:22 |
| hwkiller-netbook | no, I mean look at the code... of the program | 03:22 |
| zorg24 | L3top, ok | 03:22 |
| hwkiller-netbook | seg faults are the fault of the coder | 03:22 |
| hwkiller-netbook | I think that occurs when a program tries to reference a memory address that doesn't exist | 03:22 |
| zorg24 | L3top, leave the hdmi cable in? | 03:23 |
| zorg24 | or should it not matter? | 03:23 |
| hylian | my touchpad won't stay deactivated. I found a program that does it, but I have to run it every time I reboot to turn off the touchpad... the program is called gpointing-device-settings. | 03:23 |
| Aptar | Is this the right channel to ask 'wine' related questions? | 03:23 |
| L3top | zorg24: just leave it in. | 03:23 |
| zorg24 | kk | 03:23 |
| hylian | Aptar: yes. | 03:23 |
| Aptar | hylian, When attempting to open the program the error is "Internal errors - invalid parameters received" | 03:24 |
| Aptar | What does this normally mean? | 03:25 |
| hwkiller-netbook | there is also a channel for wine users, I believe, aptar | 03:25 |
| Aptar | The program then opens up and the program freezes and I have to kill the process to make it close.. | 03:25 |
| hylian | Aptar: you know, never had that problem, let me see if I can find it, brb... | 03:26 |
| zorg24|evo | L3top Wtf now their's no overscanning | 03:27 |
| Aptar | hwkiller-netbook, what would that be? | 03:27 |
| L3top | zorg24|evo: please give me the output of xrandr -q | 03:27 |
| zorg24|evo | L3top Its in mirror mode though | 03:27 |

| zorg24 | L3top, also its mirroring the screen instead of acting as a second monitor if that matters at all | 03:29 |

| Aptar | hylian, LexisNexis..its a CD that has legal books on it | 03:30 |
| Aptar | hylian, The thing runs good in windows.. | 03:30 |
| hylian | Aptar: ok, I will research on that... | 03:30 |
| L3top | I understand zorg24. What has happened is that something has created this mirror mode and it is outputting at 1366x768, the same as the laptop screen, which is why there is no overscanning. I am not sure why it is in mirror mode. That isn' | 03:31 |
| L3top | t something we did | 03:31 |
| L3top | zorg24 lets do this now... just to see. http://bpaste.net/show/9YIBiS8ysifnr6uM7w1z/ | 03:32 |
| L3top | I am not sure what created mirror mode... I am not sure how it will like switching... but worth the shot zorg24 | 03:32 |

| zorg24 | L3top, kk | 03:35 |
| hylian | Aptar: this is an issue. This particular error seems to have atleast 3 or 4 different causes... it could be that your program needs directx, it could be that the drive, folder or file(s) you are trying to launch do not have permissions, it could be that your graphics card driver is not properly installed, or not at all. Here is a website i got the related material from. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974599 being this is a lawyer database, i would t | 03:35 |

| L3top | zorg24|evo: I am aware. As I said. These changes do not persist. I am having you reboot to get back to square 1. Every reboot will end up in overscanning until we create something to force persistence. | 03:38 |
| zorg24|evo | Oh OK | 03:38 |

| zorg24 | L3top, lol ok | 03:49 |
| mdel | also strange is that glx loads fine, and it seems the nvidia module is present, just fails to load | 03:49 |

| mdel | yup :) | 03:50 |

I did notice that he is using pulse audio software and alsa mixer software simultaneuosly, perhaps this is the culprit? | 04:10 |
| hylian | zamn: according to that info text, you are using both pulseaudio and alsamixer. to be honest, you may not have a choice, because your system, in a "unique" way has 2 audio devices running simultaneously... This is actually pretty normal for nvidia based audio though. | 04:12 |

| arooni-mobile | when i want to get permissions on a folder; is there a way to do it so i can give the full path to the file instead of give the path to the dir above and do a -l on that, then look for the dir i want | 04:27 |
| L3top | rgates414: I mean for you to paste that into a terminal. Sorry | 04:27 |
| rgates414 | Gotcha.. I can do that.. lol | 04:28 |
| L3top | rgates414: and tell me what it returns | 04:28 |

| mdel | arooni-mobile: i see what you mean now, your question was unclear | 04:30 |
| L3top | gmachine_24: the reason the broadcom driver is blacklisted is because it is absolutely terrible and breaks everything else NOT broadcom wireless in existence. | 04:30 |
| rgates414 | lol.. need to be in ubuntu for that command to work?? | 04:30 |
| mdel | arooni-mobile: use stat | 04:30 |

| aaas | on 12.04 task switching is this fancy dynamic apple-expose-like movment of windows display.... the problem is this doesn't work well remotely using something like nx/x2go. is there a way to disable this in unity? some sort of bare-bones task switching....also alt-tab doesn't work with my x2go so not sure if that's an option | 04:31 |

| Metzee | .....When I check with lspci is show.... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1) ....why? | 04:40 |

| L3top | working on it zorg24. | 04:40 |
| mdel | Metzee: sorry but that question makes no sense. that means your card is found... | 04:41 |
| Metzee | But......My vga is Nvidia GeforceGT 520M.................Why it show nvidia corporation device 1050? | 04:42 |
| L3top | Metzee: you arent asking a coherent question. If you are asking why it does not show you your model... update-pciids. If you want more information lspci -nnvv | grep VGA. If you want to know what it is and what it is using for a driver lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | 04:42 |
| zorg24 | L3top, kk no problem I don't mind waiting | 04:42 |
| L3top | actually that verbose log wont make any difference just grepping vga... so lspci -nnvv | grep VGA -A10 is probably sufficient. | 04:43 |
| phiscribe | its not a hybrid card, with the graphics card being inel and the 3d controler being nvidia is it? | 04:44 |
| phiscribe | intel i menat | 04:44 |
| L3top | phiscribe: I do not understand your question either. | 04:45 |
| phiscribe | some systems have builit in intel graphics card for the 2d, and a nvidia addition for the 3d, some of these dont have a 3d driver, not sure which ones, but i think the 520 m might be one | 04:46 |
| phiscribe | a 3d driver for linux that is | 04:46 |
| L3top | You are asking if it is an optimus. I see. Sorry phiscribe. | 04:47 |
| L3top | I thought you were describing your own issue | 04:47 |

| L3top | zorg24 this is my last attempt for the evening. I need to experiment on my end more. Screwing with modlines by hand like this can do bad things to your monitor if done wrong, and I dont want to move into that category of shift. | 04:54 |
| mdel | actually... anyone know if a 64bit OS would possibly give better results? | 04:55 |
| L3top | no mdel | 04:55 |
| L3top | mdel: I can help you with nvidia drivers. | 04:55 |
| mdel | didn't think so... only asked because there is a memory addressing issue in dmsg | 04:55 |
| L3top | I have not been paying attention. Please lspci -nn | grep VGA | 04:55 |
| zorg24 | L3top, ok that was a bit to far down (less 1 cm) and bit to far to left but much less | 04:55 |
| mdel | L3top: i just removed everything nvidia I had installed, I'll reboot and repaste | 04:56 |

| zorg24 | L3top, thanks for the help I often hang out here but am afk, so pm me if you want me to try something | 04:56 |
| zorg24 | L3top, or would you rather me just give you my email? | 04:57 |

| mdel | L3top: old card, I'm pretty sure it works really well with the 173 driver | 04:59 |
| amitvaria | mdel: thanks! looks like it wasn't installed | 05:00 |
| mdel | unfortunately that doesn't run on 12.04 because of the new xorg | 05:00 |
| mdel | amitvaria: np :) also be sure to install APC and other goodies like GD | 05:00 |
| L3top | hmm... mdel. You shouldn't have an issue with the 295.40 driver. The 173 would work also... but... that pciid is certified. | 05:00 |
| mdel | L3top: i know, that's what I thought | 05:00 |
| mdel | L3top: ok, lets install and see what we get - just install nvidia-current? | 05:01 |
| amitvaria | mdel: yeah, I'm a dev moving to server management, so appreciate all pointers | 05:01 |
| L3top | mdel: try nvidia-current-updates | 05:01 |

| L3top | mdel: it can be done... btw... you just need to deal with the stupid avhi10 thing. | 05:02 |

| aaas | if you have a lot of memory/disk space is there any reason to run a lightweight window manager? remotely to admin a server? | 05:04 |
| mdel | aaas: use the DE that works best for you... remote management is almost always best done via console | 05:05 |
| aaas | ok say you want to have a common place for organization so you have to choose a windows manager | 05:05 |
| mdel | L3top: ok, so same error as last time I tried with the packages from swat-x:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092657/ | 05:08 |
| mdel | aaas: i dont follow... | 05:08 |
| aaas | mdel if you have to run a window manager (you pick the reason) is there any reason to pick a lightweight one over a 'heavy' one like gnome if you have lots of memory/hd space | 05:08 |
| mdel | yes, like i said... if the DE you like happens to be lightweight, pick that one obviously | 05:09 |
| mdel | use what works for you | 05:09 |
| mdel | if you have the power in your machine, then you have the freedom to choose whatever you want | 05:09 |
| mdel | rather than be forced to run LXDE just because you have a low powered system | 05:09 |
| mdel | that doesn't mean you shouldn't run LXDE if you like it | 05:10 |
| aaas | mdel but what if i like something that i don't know isn't best for me if I had all the information | 05:10 |
| mdel | how could we possibly answer that with the question you asked | 05:10 |
| aaas | simple: you assume | 05:10 |
| aaas | like this | 05:10 |
| mdel | sorry, I dont do that :) | 05:11 |
| aaas | 1) i have no prefrence | 05:11 |
| aaas | 2) i have a computer with lots of memory/hd | 05:11 |
| aaas | all things equal is there a reason to pick lightweight | 05:11 |
| mdel | no reason other than the ones I already gave | 05:11 |
| mdel | i thought it was pretty clear... pick what YOU like | 05:11 |

| mdel | if there is a reason, it would be an OBJECTIVE one for you, and we can't ssh into your brain :) | 05:14 |

| mdel | either way, it's not loading the driver even if I probe it | 05:16 |
| mdel | the nvidia driver that is | 05:16 |
| L3top | mdel: just clicked the link... it isn't really part of it. it is its own animal.... it is just loaded by default as backup in case nvidia fails. | 05:17 |
| mdel | got ya | 05:17 |
| mdel | L3top: though, it isn't loaded | 05:17 |
| mdel | I'm guessing the mem addressing issue is making it stop loading anything but vesa? | 05:18 |

| L3top | what is the other card? | 05:21 |

| mdel | same card, exact | 05:21 |
| oscarvarto | I'm sure I'm using the right password | 05:21 |
| L3top | I would just swap it out... (convenient) | 05:21 |

| mdel | ah, thanks anyway L3top :) | 05:32 |
| L3top | wait mdel... can you go over that again? | 05:32 |
| mdel | well... I installed and configured this machine with the onboard ATI POS | 05:33 |
| mdel | it worked ok, but I had these GeForce 6600 laying around | 05:33 |

| bipul | settings/system/processor/enable PAE/NX it's there but i can not tick mark it as it is disable by default | 05:33 |

| mdel | it's really odd that I can't even get back to that state | 05:36 |

| mdel | WARNING: Module off not found. | 05:47 |
| L3top | nvidia should work... nouveau also. Something is very odd. It isnt the card. I am kind of at *shrug* level. | 05:48 |

| mdel | L3top: do you know what nvidiafb actually means? | 05:48 |
| mdel | is that just a reference to whatever the fallback is, or an actualy mod | 05:49 |
| dj_segfault | fb would be framebuffer, I would think | 05:49 |
| L3top | frame buffer | 05:49 |
| L3top | yes | 05:49 |
| mdel | got ya | 05:49 |
| mdel | yeah that works, but its no different | 05:50 |

| L3top | ignore the 260... thats ours. | 05:50 |
| L3top | just showing you, that is what it is supposed to be. | 05:51 |
| mdel | i still have a suspicion the 173 driver would work, too bad Ubuntu likes to keep xorg bleeding edge | 05:51 |
| mdel | yeah I know, I have a ton of machines with nvidia cards and I've been pretty successful at figuring out the kinks | 05:51 |

| mdel | tons of posts about the PCI I/O error, but not a single (reasonable) solution | 05:55 |

| electronbee | hello? | 06:04 |
| jrdnn | electronbee: Hi | 06:04 |
| electronbee | yay | 06:05 |
| electronbee | has anyone heard/seen/used video_entropyd? | 06:05 |
| electronbee | i'm curious if the entropy_avail file will have more than just one number in it | 06:05 |
| mdel | L3top: dude... | 06:11 |
| mdel | L3top: taking out 1 of my 2 sticks of ram solves the issue | 06:11 |
| jrdnn | mdel: Either one? | 06:11 |
| mdel | L3top: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/19243086/19374153.aspx | 06:11 |
| mdel | yeah... its a memory addressing issue' | 06:11 |
| mdel | or, voltage issue | 06:12 |
| mdel | lsmod lists nvidia | 06:12 |
| mdel | no dmesg about the PCI I/O | 06:13 |
| L3top | wow... good job mdel! I will have to look into that... are you using the PAE kernel by the way? | 06:14 |
| L3top | mdel: uname -r | 06:15 |
| mdel | yeah I am | 06:15 |
| mdel | but my bios still only sees 3.5Gb like that thread | 06:15 |
| mdel | so again.. comes down to Dell being CRAP | 06:16 |
| * L3top wonders what would happen if you put the stick back in and went to the generic | 06:16 | |
| L3top | so only 3.2 was avail | 06:16 |
| mdel | i never checked in the OS, but I assume so | 06:16 |
| mdel | L3top: would that be any different than just switching to 64bit? | 06:17 |
| bpoole | Anyone familiar with unity/launcher config? I created some custom shortcuts for firefox/chromium but when I use them a new firefox/chromium icon is created on the toolbar and shows the active process triangle to the left. How do I make the shortcut use the same launcher icon it was started from? | 06:17 |
| mdel | bpoole: you might just have to add the icon manually | 06:17 |
| === gordon is now known as Guest12670 | ||
| mdel | bpoole: most of them are in /usr/share/icons | 06:17 |
| L3top | yes mdel. Different on a number of fronts. I expect you might have the same issue in 64, but maybe not. I believe, however, if you went to the generic kernel you would have more ram avail than with the one stick, and this issue would not occur. | 06:18 |
| zamn | hey how would i go about adding a writeable windows partition? All of the tutorials i find from google are from like 2006 and the one i tried didntw ork. :O | 06:18 |
| L3top | What do you mean by a writeable windows partition? | 06:19 |
| zamn | I mean I need to have access to write to that partition. not read-only | 06:19 |
| mdel | L3top: i know its different :p I just meant would it accomplish the same thing... i realize you weren't suggesting the PAE kernel to be the issue, but the higher memory addressing available | 06:20 |
| bpoole | Hmm, sorry.. maybe I wasn't clear. I added the launcher manually from my custom .desktop file (sourced from the /usr/share copy). I see the correct icon on the launcher bar when it is added. I start the process via the launcher shortcut and it creates another entry on the toolbar (also with the right icon) and shows the active process indicator on that icon. So basically I end up with a launcher mozilla icon at the top with no active proc | 06:20 |
| mdel | ill try the non-pae kernel with 2 sticks, see what happens | 06:20 |
| L3top | by windows partition zamn do you mean a windows install, or an NTFS partition? | 06:20 |
| zamn | my NTFS partition | 06:20 |
| zamn | L3top: ^ | 06:20 |
| L3top | mdel: I am actually thinking it might be linked to the pae kernel and how it operates. | 06:21 |
| mdel | zamn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions i guess you saw that? | 06:22 |
| L3top | zamn: you should not have read only access to the ntfs partition. If so it is because it is not clean. I would recommend trying to chkdsk from windows... fsck just isnt very good at ntfs. | 06:22 |
| qmr | why is pidgin not connecting to google talk? :( I just made a new application specific password for it, so it's not that | 06:24 |
| zamn | L3top: sorry i have experience in mounting windows partitions through Gentoo which by default was read only. Didn't know normal distros did it read/write by default lol. | 06:25 |
| L3top | I don't know qmr, but I don't think this is an ubuntu issue. | 06:25 |
| zamn | mdel: no that didnt come up in google :p | 06:25 |
| mdel | zamn: if that's sarcasm, i probably deserve it :) | 06:25 |
| zamn | hehe | 06:26 |
| mdel | if it isn't, you suck at googlin' haha | 06:26 |
| mdel | well this is just awesome, I love being affected by edge-case issues | 06:27 |

| killer | hi....i have 240 mb of upgrade (via sudo apt-get upgrade)but i only want to upgrade firefox now.......how can i do that ? | 06:32 |
| mdel | L3top: after booting, screen goes wacky for a sec then hangs until it falls back to vesa | 06:32 |
| mdel | seems like right after it would be pulling too much power | 06:32 |
| lee98632 | What has me scratching my head is the Hair Brained Idea for naming all Quantell images Wuantell, eh It makes it diffcult to filter through the ISOs | 06:32 |
| mdel | killer: sudo apt-get upgrade firefox | 06:33 |
| bpoole | humm.. if i left or middle click on my magic launcher icon to start the process it associates the active process to the existing launcher rather than creating a new one. Then I can right click and use my shortcuts. But if I start with right clicking the shortcuts it creates a new entry on the toolbar to associate the process to. *scratches head* | 06:33 |
| lee98632 | is nay one here running 12.10? or am I in the correct chanel? | 06:33 |
| mdel | lee98632: #ubuntu+1 | 06:33 |
| lee98632 | ty | 06:33 |
| killer | mdel it still downloads whole 240 mb and not only firefox | 06:34 |
| yannick_ | :) | 06:34 |
| bpoole | apt-get install firefox | 06:35 |
| mdel | yeah that would probably work | 06:35 |
| mdel | i was going to say... im sure there is a switch for upgrade | 06:35 |
| killer | mdel ,bpoole : yeah it worked | 06:35 |
| mdel | if not, thats lame | 06:35 |
| bpoole | Yes, it does. upgrade is all packages, no options. | 06:36 |
| mdel | yeah that's weak | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: trying now | 06:37 |
| bpoole | Agreed, seems backward. | 06:38 |

| mdel | i normally run openjdk, but thats me | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oscarvarto: if the openjava gives what you need, I'd stick with it | 07:17 |
| mdel | im not doing anything major with java that I would have compat issues with | 07:18 |
| zamn | ActionParsnip1: no dice | 07:18 |
| mdel | openjdk works well with eclipse and android sdk, afaik | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zamn: can you run the whole command I gave and upload to the server, a URL will be generated | 07:18 |
| zamn | ActionParsnip1: which command? | 07:19 |
| oscarvarto | Last time I used OpenJDK there were issues with Swing and Graphical User Interfaces. Are those issues still not working? | 07:20 |

| L3top | What an odd way to add that ActionParsnip1. May I ask why you did that that way? | 07:27 |
| Greg | Hallo Kimi | 07:29 |
| L3top | ActionParsnip1: I just mean... why not simply echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf? To prevent an overwrite if they missed an > ? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | L3top: sudo doesn't traverse the redirect, so the only command getting sudo will be echo | 07:31 |
| mdel | the proper way is to use tee, i believe | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | L3top: so you can pipe to sudo tee and it will work, the /dev/null bit is just so that there is no output as tee echos to the screen as well as the file :) | 07:31 |
| cyclist_2 | Hello, there! I seemingly cannot open a console window on my Ubuntu Guest machine; when I press RCTRL+Fx the machine remains in graphical mode; if I press (R)CTRL-ALT-Fx then the host machine takes over and opens a console window instead; I have been searching for a solution for a while but without success, so far; can anyone suggest me a solution, please? | 07:32 |
| L3top | That would make sense. Thank you for the explanation. I am always root dealing with that file... so... explains why I never encountered an issue. | 07:33 |
| candrea | cyclist_2: you mean you are using a virtual machine or something like this? | 07:33 |
| mdel | here's a question, I think the answer is yes... when installing ubuntu, if I choose an existing partiton as /home, and that partition already contains home directories, they will be preserved, correct? | 07:34 |
| cyclist_2 | candrea: yes, exactly | 07:34 |
| marcin82 | --yes | 07:34 |

I try running the boot disk to do a repair install, but the disk setup leads to a BSOD. Does this have anything to do with the Ubuntu GNU and the dual-load setup? Sounds like a simple question, but I've never upgraded hardware with... | 07:40 |
| SKnight | ...a dual-boot hard drive before. | 07:40 |
| mdel | SKnight: so when you try to boot, what happens | 07:41 |
| mdel | step by step | 07:41 |
| candrea | cyclist_2: assuming you are using virtualbox... there's something called "host key" which by default is the right ctrl; iirc it translates to ctrl+alt on the guest, so if you press the host key+f1 you should get access to a console in the guest | 07:42 |
| SKnight | I hit the power button. The BIOS comes up normally and I got it set to load from the disc first. It goes to the setup screen where it reads the various drivers and such on the bottom of the screen. It goes fine until it reads "Setup Starting Windows" and then goes right to the BSOD, with a 0x0000007e error code. | 07:44 |
| cyclist_2 | candrea: the host key is the default right-control key [I have never had much use for it, until now...]; but it does not do what it is supposed to | 07:45 |
| rafaecheve | hi | 07:45 |
| cfhowlett | rafaecheve, greetings | 07:45 |
| candrea | cyclist_2: can you confirm me that you are using virtualbox? if so, does this page help? http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idp12812736 | 07:46 |
| mdel | SKnight: first, I would load up your BIOS configuration and make sure everything is set correctly for your new hardware | 07:47 |
| mdel | I would suspect that to be the issue first, considering the windows setup is BSOD | 07:47 |
| cyclist_2 | candrea: yes, I am using VirtualBox; I will check your suggested page now | 07:48 |
| SKnight | I haven't had any problems with the config options at all. It detects the new processor I have with no problems. I don't do any overclocking or any manual CPU modding and everything is as it should be. | 07:50 |
| mdel | SKnight: what about your drives? are all your sata ports turned on? | 07:50 |
| mdel | new mobo = new bios, so you'll def want to make sure it's all configured for all your new and old hardware | 07:51 |
| === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo | ||
| SKnight | And the Ubuntu OS install works just fine. As does the GNU. It's just when I point at anything Windows related that I have problems. All SATA ports are active and detect my disc drive and hard drive with no problems. | 07:52 |
| olio | help me | 07:52 |
| cfhowlett | Oli, state the problem in detail ... | 07:52 |
| UndiFineD | SKnight, seems trouble is with threading: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182 | 07:52 |
| olio | when i sue make it gave me error . cfhowlett | 07:52 |
| bekks | olio: Please ask a detailed question. | 07:53 |
| cfhowlett | Olio, when you "sue"? You mean sudo? | 07:53 |

| bekks | olio: Where does that ror come from? What are you doing in detail? Which Ubuntu do you have? | 07:54 |
| bekks | s/ror/error/ | 07:54 |
| L3top | olio what are you trying to compile, and how could you possibly have expected help with your question lol? | 07:54 |
| mdel | SKnight: can't really help debug windows install :( sorry | 07:54 |
| olio | internet sucks on ubuntu L3top | 07:55 |
| L3top | I am unfamiliar with that program or project. | 07:55 |
| mdel | yeah I hate the copy of the internet from the repo.. i use the internet-updates package myself :) | 07:55 |
| UndiFineD | mdel, SKnight there is still ##windows for that ? | 07:55 |
| mdel | maybe... | 07:56 |
| SKnight | mdel: Understandable. I just had the thought that having a dual-boot hard drive was causing problems and that I might have to do something different than with a vanilla Windows install. | 07:56 |
| mdel | haven't touched windows outside a VM in a lonnnng time | 07:56 |
| olio | L3top: why this IRC don't run on opera mini | 07:56 |
| UndiFineD | yup still there | 07:56 |
| bekks | olio: Because there is no IRC functionality in Opera Mini. | 07:57 |

| Magiobiwan | Does Ubunto happen to have drivers for an Intel 945 GM chipset? | 08:03 |
| cyclist_2 | candrea: that page was the most useful, until now; unfortunately, despite the fact of what it is written there, that combination of keys does not work on my guest machine [in fact, I tried it on another Linux distribution I also have as a guest OS and the effect was the same: nothing happens when I pressed RCTRL-Fx]; is there a way to choose another host key? | 08:03 |

| yannick_ | nop | 08:04 |
| candrea | cyclist_2: sure, somewhere in the preferences there's an option; unfortunately I do not have virtualbox installed, so I can't check where exactly | 08:05 |
| candrea | cyclist_2: I can do a search if you need, though | 08:05 |
| Magiobiwan | I was taking. About Solomon, yannick_ | 08:05 |

| brutus | hello, I can't see window frames in my precise unity... so no maximize, minimize, move etc.. | 08:06 |
| brutus | what's wrong? | 08:06 |
| mdel | brutus: its at the top... | 08:06 |
| mdel | hover over the top bar | 08:06 |
| yannick_ | yep | 08:08 |
| brutus | mdel: thanks, the menus do appear (File, Edit etc), but there's still no frame to the window | 08:08 |
| yannick_ | @Magiobiwan | 08:08 |
| yannick_ | :) | 08:08 |
| mdel | brutus: not sure what that means, can you take a screenshot? | 08:08 |
| brutus | mdel: sure | 08:08 |
| Magiobiwan | yannick_: Strange. | 08:10 |
| yannick_ | ok | 08:10 |
| olio | hello | 08:10 |
| Magiobiwan | I just got Ubuntu onto my laptop and it didn't have the driver | 08:10 |
| yannick_ | @Magiobiwan : thx | 08:10 |

| olio | olio: tell me how to recover this make error | 08:11 |
| mdel | brutus: ah, I see | 08:11 |
| candrea | brutus: it looks to me the window manager is not running | 08:11 |
| brutus | candrea, mdel, how do I fix it? | 08:12 |
| mdel | normally it means your machine can't composite... try logging out and changing to Ubuntu 2d | 08:12 |
| mdel | see if that fixes the problem | 08:13 |
| yannick_ | dont know! :p | 08:13 |
| candrea | brutus: try 'unity --replace' in a terminal... it should be enough | 08:13 |
| mdel | unless it can't run unity... | 08:13 |
| candrea | brutus: or do what mdel suggested, which might be true | 08:13 |
| bekks | olio: Tell us the additional information I asked for, like: which ubuntu are you running on, and why are you compiling that yourself? | 08:13 |
| olio | bekks: Linux Lex 3.2.0-25-generic-pae #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 22:11:24 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux , ubuntu precies . | 08:14 |
| yannick_ | me? | 08:14 |
| mdel | olio: this really isn't the place for compiling issues | 08:15 |
| olio | bekks: i want to install sphinix ./configure work fine but when i run make command it gave me this error | 08:15 |
| mdel | olio: install sphinx from the package | 08:15 |
| olio | mdel: well sphinx is itself a package : ) | 08:16 |
| mdel | olio: huh? | 08:16 |
| talntid | trying to get a 1920x1080 resolution from my dell XPS15... not having much luck.. anyone here know how? | 08:16 |
| mdel | i know what sphinx is, I use it often | 08:16 |
| mdel | there is a sphinxsearch package | 08:17 |
| cyclist_2 | candrea: thank you, for the kind offer; I had a deeper look at the VBox's menu and found a way to change the host key; I chose LeftWindowsKey and it worked straightaway! also, upon further testing, I discovered that neither of my keyboard's CTRL keys are recognised by VBox! both SHIFT and ALT key are read correctly, but -- for some misterious reason -- both CTRL keys are seemingly "dead"; I confirmed this by changing the host key back to RC | 08:17 |
| bekks | olio: Then install the sphinx2 package from the repos, there you will find version 0.6, while you are trying to compile version 0.4 | 08:17 |
| talntid | it's got built in intel 3000 and a nvidia 555M ... but I don't care about the nvidia... just want a proper resolution from the intel | 08:17 |
| olio | mdel: wao ! yup ! i want to use it for voice recognisation | 08:17 |
| bekks | olio: Then install the current package from the repos. | 08:17 |
| killer | is compiz --replace as startup program is enough to get compiz (i.e. it will kill or the metacity will not run alongside) | 08:17 |
| mdel | L3top: so now... back on ATI card... I NEVER run ATI cards... | 08:19 |
| mdel | L3top: is there a prop driver I should be using? | 08:19 |

| talntid | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) | 08:20 |

| mdel | L3top: don't laugh at this chipset... | 08:21 |
| mdel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092814/ | 08:21 |
| olio | bekks: hey ! whats the actual problem with this make file .Can you tell me please | 08:22 |
| L3top | talntid: you have an optimus in a laptop I take it? (that lspci was for mdel though lol) have you tried using bumblebee? | 08:22 |
| bekks | olio: Please just install the sphinx2 package from the repos. It will solve your problem. | 08:22 |
| L3top | all you can use is the native radeon driver mdel | 08:22 |
| mdel | olio: you have been answered. you just don't like it | 08:22 |
| bekks | olio: The package is called "sphinx2-bin" | 08:22 |
| brutus | mdel, candrea, thanks it works now :D | 08:23 |
| mdel | brutus: 2d? | 08:23 |
| mdel | L3top: just the "radeon" module/driver that's preinstalled? | 08:23 |
| brutus | mdel, nope, i tried unity -- replace | 08:23 |
| yannick_ | :) hello world :p | 08:23 |
| brutus | i'm not sure what 2d is | 08:23 |
| mdel | brutus: ah, awesome... glad you can run it | 08:23 |
| mdel | 2d is the non-3d fallback, of course | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | uses metacity instead of compiz | 08:24 |
| mdel | hopefully unity crashing is not a common occurance foryou | 08:24 |
| brutus | hope not :) | 08:24 |
| brutus | btw, is there a way to get the traditional Applications, Places, System menu bar on top? | 08:24 |
| bourbaki | Hidiho | 08:25 |
| mdel | brutus: nope :) | 08:25 |
| bourbaki | How can i change from that ubuntu laptop mode to a desktop mode? | 08:25 |
| mdel | bourbaki: from 11.10 on, all ubuntu is laptop mode AKA Unity | 08:25 |
| brutus | mdel, oh well :-/ | 08:25 |
| bourbaki | I installed ubuntu into virtual box and i also cant change the display resolution somehow. | 08:25 |
| yannick_ | lol sorry | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: install gnome-panel or xfce4, your call | 08:26 |
| mdel | brutus: i really hate Unity.. you should try Cinnamon | 08:26 |
| bourbaki | ActionParsnip1: How do i do that? | 08:26 |
| bourbaki | With the software centre? | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | brutus: if you like the old style desktop, use Xubuntu, or install gnome-panel | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: sure | 08:26 |
| bourbaki | Thanks will try | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: also make sure you install the vbox guest additions | 08:27 |
| mdel | Mate is an evolution of gnome2 | 08:27 |
| mdel | that would work for your needs as well | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mdel: its also not supported here | 08:27 |
| bekks | mdel: It is a fork, not supported in here :) | 08:27 |
| mdel | indeed, it is not | 08:27 |
| bourbaki | ActionParsnip1: Would i just have to install these in ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| L3top | sorry mdel... yes... xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: yes, use the menu at the top and install the additions, helps with things lots. I know a link of an xorg.conf file for virtualbox | 08:28 |
| mm_ | HD 6970 sapphire fail to show craphics in live cd UEFI mode old vt64 pci work fine | 08:28 |
| mm_ | Idk how long i wait the fix but i like inform daily builds without uefi mode boots and i see all ok. No corruption or anything. | 08:28 |
| mm_ | If i use uefi mode i get black screen with monitor on or only purple screen. gfxpayload options on boot dosent help. Linux itself work in backround it loads fine. | 08:28 |
| mm_ | Only solution in uefi mode is only use PCI old videocard to get it installed and then install catalyst. After install catalyst all start work normal again. | 08:28 |
| mm_ | That bug in uefi mode is way too old thats way i not use linux. Swap cards not solution i think. | 08:28 |
| mm_ | I made post too another place too but normal boot mode seems fixed by now. | 08:28 |
| mdel | no worries, thanks again L3top | 08:28 |

| bourbaki | ActionParsnip1: Cause i cant use the seamless mode although i installed it, do i need to reboot it? | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm_: please use pastebin in future | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: reboot for what? | 08:29 |
| mm_ | ok | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm_: are you using quantal? | 08:29 |
| bourbaki | ActionParsnip1: To get the seamless mode | 08:29 |
| mdel | bourbaki: did you install the guest additions? | 08:29 |
| bourbaki | mdel: Yep | 08:29 |
| mm_ | yes others fail too | 08:29 |
| mdel | not sure then :-/ | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mm_: quantal support is in #ubuntu+1 not here | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: I'd ask in #vbox too | 08:30 |
| L3top | mm_: try nomodeset or more likely radeon.modeset=1 grub param | 08:30 |
| mm_ | ok i try | 08:30 |
| bourbaki | I did they also said i wont have to reboot or so, just doesnt seem to work | 08:30 |
| bourbaki | Ok i installed gnome-panel now what? | 08:30 |
| olio | mdel: done ! now | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: log off, select the session using the Ubuntu logo next to your username and log in | 08:31 |
| bourbaki | Ok cool | 08:31 |
| brutus | mdel, i'm not a big fan either.. it's not very intuitive | 08:33 |
| olio | mdel : sorry to ask , can u tell me , what to do now ? | 08:33 |
| mdel | olio: i honestly don't know. sorry. | 08:33 |
| brutus | ActionParsnip1, i'm doing that right now! | 08:33 |
| brutus | gnome-panel install | 08:33 |
| mm_ | how the command modeset in grub there is set gfxpayload simple i write there radeon.modset=1 | 08:34 |

| glebihan | ActionParsnip1, most python applications use python2 and don't mention it explicitly | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | circle: if you want to use another pytin, just type python and hit TAB a few times | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | *python | 09:15 |
| glebihan | ActionParsnip1, which means that changing the default python executable will break them (since python2 and python3 are incompatible) | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | glebihan: i'd have figured some backward compatibility would be around | 09:15 |
| yannick_ | reboot chat soon ;) | 09:16 |
| glebihan | ActionParsnip1, no, the python developers chose not to maintain backward compatibility in python3 | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | glebihan: strange but oh well :) | 09:16 |
| Starn | i'm having a extemely weird thing going on with ubuntu/xubuntu. even with my external hard drive install. when i boot into it, it either shows what was on windows last. or it shows fuzzyness kinda like a tv back when everything was still analog but with coloured dots. any idea? i think my external as well as the internal hard drives which have ubuntu installed are failing??? any ideas? | 09:19 |
| glebihan | ActionParsnip1, from http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html : Python 3.0, also known as “Python 3000” or “Py3K”, is the first ever intentionally backwards incompatible Python release. | 09:19 |

| yannick_ | Hello ;) | 09:22 |
| bouma | could someone please help me. im looking for an opensource prog that will full-text search (not necessary to index) pdf files | 09:26 |
| bouma | when i do a gnome-file-search and try to full-text-search pdfs it never works | 09:26 |
| bouma | presumably this is because within the file strings are in double char formats and so its not as simple as searching the binary file | 09:27 |
| bouma | if only reiser4 took off and all files could be fully described data structures | 09:27 |
| Asad2005 | How can i stop some greader feeds from updating in liferea | 09:28 |
| kanupatar | one doubt | 09:30 |
| kanupatar | <linux/mm.h> not found in the /usr/include/linux folder..i have installed the kernel headers | 09:30 |
| kanupatar | I am having 2.6.38 kernel | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bouma: you can convert PDF to text then grep that, then delete the text file and report a find, you can do it in a bash script | 09:39 |
| BlitzHere | Hi all! I wanted to install ubuntu but my system is quite old. I'm not sure whether to go with xubuntu or lubuntu. CAnanyone help? | 09:39 |

| bourbaki | Can i switch the display size somewhere else beside the display panel in ubuntu? I have a HD display but i can just select something up to 1024 resolution. | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bourbaki: you can use xrandr, if you use nvidia GPU, use nvidia-settings | 09:41 |
| Slart | bourbaki: you used to be able to do something with the numerical plus and minus keys.. possibly in combination with alt, ctrl or similar... this might have been removed or it might rely on special configurations in xorg.conf but it might be worth looking into | 09:42 |
| SoulRaven | has anyone any good script to restart tomcat from cron? | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bouma: if you install poppler-utils you can use the pdftotxt command | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: why do you need a script? | 09:43 |
| SoulRaven | because i want to restart tomcat on a regular basis | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: is it not just: sudo service tomcat stop; sudo service tomcat start | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: or is it more involved? | 09:44 |
| SoulRaven | i want to restart from cron | 09:44 |
| === sergio is now known as Guest33340 | ||
| SoulRaven | is ok if i do inside the bash script this? service tomcat stop sleep 1 service tomcat start? | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: yes, but are those 2 commands all that are needed? | 09:45 |
| SoulRaven | i want to stop the service with all the pid's and then restart again | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: will the process names all be the same, or follow a pattern? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: or be certain names? | 09:46 |
| SoulRaven | tomcat, this is the name | 09:46 |
| yannick_ | ;) | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | SoulRaven: then your script can run: killall tomcat; killall -9 tomcat then restart the service again. | 09:47 |

| db_loco | team - found that I have a problem with my library v41l. I also found that I can update it usin aptitude (from terminal). Before i do so... is this the right way to do it? or should I try to g: downliad/install/remove??? | 09:53 |
| bekks | db_loco: Doesnt matter, actually. Just update it. But dont mix up v4l1 with v4l2, which are two incompatible libraries. | 09:53 |
| db_loco | bekks: i only can do this for lv4l -0 which covers them both i believe - is this right? | 09:56 |
| guest-pwvRan | :) | 09:58 |
| guest-pwvRan | ;) | 09:58 |
| bekks | db_loco: No. | 09:59 |
| bekks | db_loco: There is no package that contains both v4l1 and v4l2. And hopefully, there are no devices out there anymore which require v4l1. | 10:00 |
| db_loco | bekks: ok - this is the only option i have (as in libv4l -0) so i'll update this for now. Surely it won;t cause any harm :s wish me luck | 10:01 |
| db_loco | bekks: oh and thanks | 10:02 |

| Meris | I want to be able to choose my language for the session, right from the login screen | 10:08 |
| Guest91074 | hi | 10:09 |
| Meris | Hi Guest91074, please state your question | 10:09 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, I would like to know how delete/deactivate "recent docmuents" on ubuntu 12.04 | 10:10 |
| Meris | Guest91074, you want to disable any tracking of the OS of your recent Documents? | 10:10 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, yes | 10:11 |
| ito | hi does anyone know the command to get xterm to meta sends escape true? | 10:12 |
| Meris | Guest91074, you can choose to do so in the Zeitgeist options, Just search for that and you'll be able to disable that for good. | 10:12 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, i try with zeitgeist but recent documents are not dileted or disabled | 10:13 |
| Meris | Guest91074, correction, choose Privacy instead | 10:13 |
| ito | in ubuntu there seems to be no .xdefaults file | 10:14 |
| Starn | did someone reply to my long semi question bout my ubuntu install showing what was last shown on windows and fact i think the hdd is failing that ubutnu installed on? | 10:14 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, I try with privacy ... it doesn't work | 10:15 |
| Guest91074 | recent documents are not disabled or deleted ... | 10:15 |
| asmonaut | hello | 10:15 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| Meris | Guest91074 , open the Dash with the Windows/ Cmd(if you are using a Mac Keyboard like me) and search fo Privacy, you can remove your history, than goto the tab Files, to exclude tracking of certain filetypes or even whole directory trees. | 10:16 |
| Meris | Guest91074, that should do the trick^ | 10:16 |
| Guest91074 | I deleted ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite , but it dosens't work | 10:17 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, i tried with privacy, it doesn't work | 10:17 |
| Asad2005 | i have added google ppa but still dont see chrome browser, i have chromium already installed ubuntu 12.04 | 10:17 |
| Meris | You can even disable Zeitgeist entirely with the iPhail style button in the bottom-right corner | 10:17 |
| ito | can anyone help me? Im looking to change the metasendsescape key in xterm but dont know how, cna someone help me? | 10:17 |
| Meris | Asad2005, Chromium is the open source version of Chrome. It does not lack any options included in branded Google Chrome afaik. | 10:18 |
| Asad2005 | i can see chrome in synaptic but not in software center ? | 10:19 |
| Meris | Guest91074, could you describe exactly which steps you took in the Privacy Dialog? It works fine on my box. | 10:19 |
| Fudge | hi why does mount say that ufs2 is able to mounted read write but dmesg says it has to be mounted read only? | 10:19 |
| Meris | Asad2005, Software Center is a convenient, but incomplete package manager, install Synaptic for more options and a steeper learning curve. | 10:20 |
| Slart | Asad2005: tried pressing the small text "Show technical items" at the bottom of the search page? | 10:21 |
| Meris | How can I re-enable the language chooser in the greeter? | 10:21 |
| Meris | Or choose another greeter with a greater maturity? | 10:22 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, I choose "Tout" (all) et i click on "Supprimer l'historique" (delete history) and i disable "Enregitrer l'activité" (save activity) | 10:23 |
| Meris | Guest91074, ok, and after that you are still able to find your recent documents in the Dash? | 10:25 |
| Guest91074 | Meris, yes when I click on the third icon (document) | 10:26 |
| Meris | Guest91074, btw, there are so many other guests, could you please choose another nickname? That would make it more convenient for me to use Tab completion. | 10:26 |
| === Guest91074 is now known as Djobi-Djoba | ||
| Djobi-Djoba | Meris, it's done ;) | 10:27 |
| Meris | Djobi-Djoba, ah, that's better! :-) Anyway, these options *should* delete all recent docs history and disable tracking of any future recent docs. Could you please try disabling tracking in general using the switch on the bottom right corner. Try opening a file afterwards that you haven't opened yet and try finding it under Recent Docs | 10:29 |
| Meris | How can I re-enable the language chooser in the greeter? Or if that's not possible in the std. Ubuntu greeter, how can I choose a more mature greeter with more options? I don't care about eye candy, I want functionality. | 10:30 |
| Djobi-Djoba | Meris, I have ever disabled tracking, it works, but i can see the "old" recent documents, i would like to delete it :s | 10:32 |
| mental_mickey | Hi all | 10:34 |
| mental_mickey | Does anyone know of a vb.clone apart from gambas | 10:35 |
| |Long| | hi, what is the cmd to show me my current path? | 10:35 |
| Meris | Djobi-Djoba, file a bug if it has not been filed yet, because deleting the the history should do what it says. In the mean time, you will probably need to do that through the command line. I have never cleared recent docs through the command line, it should be possible though. | 10:35 |
| Meris | mental_mickey, you mean a vb.clone as IDE, or just any IDE that will handle .net? | 10:36 |
| mental_mickey | Long It's pwd if I remember correctly | 10:36 |
| |Long| | mental_mickey, thanks | 10:37 |
| notyjoey | does anyone know if there is something out there for ubuntu which would let me broadcast to an air tunes speaker? | 10:37 |
| mental_mickey | You're welcome lol | 10:37 |
| Nek | Hello all | 10:38 |
| Meris | notyjoey, VLC will probably able to do that, provided there is a suitable plugin. | 10:38 |
| mental_mickey | Hi | 10:38 |
| Meris | hi Nek | 10:39 |
| mental_mickey | Does anyone know of an extension/protocol manager (something like ubuntu tweak but better) | 10:39 |
| Nek | Do you now a trick to launch a game and close automatically compiz and reload it after the game ? | 10:40 |
| mental_mickey | Ala windows 7 | 10:40 |
| Meris | Nek, you would need to write a small script for that that issues a wm-replace so that compiz gets replaced temporarily with another manager, that script would have your desired game command as a command line parameter. | 10:42 |
| Nek | Meris, yes why not, but i can't make the script by myself :/. | 10:43 |
| Nek | There's no documentation on the web ? | 10:44 |
| syn-ack | Sure there is | 10:44 |
| syn-ack | Nek, TLDP and check out the BASH shell scripting HOWTO | 10:44 |
| Meris | Nek, try www.tldp.org and search for bash | 10:44 |
| syn-ack | ^^ | 10:44 |
| Nek | Do you know if the ubuntu team want to correct this issue ? | 10:44 |
| Nek | :( | 10:44 |
| Nek | i don't want to learn a language just for play ! | 10:45 |
| bekks | Nek: It is a three liner, in fact. | 10:45 |
| syn-ack | Nek, There really is no issue. | 10:45 |
| bekks | No need to learn a programming language. | 10:45 |
| Meris | Nek, did you ever play with batch files in the old DOS days? bash is just like that | 10:45 |
| siavashserver | lies | 10:46 |
| syn-ack | Meris, I wouldn't go quite that far... it is similar but, yeah | 10:46 |
| Nek | Meris, i'm too young ^^ | 10:46 |
| Nek | Never known this period | 10:46 |
| syn-ack | God I feel old. | 10:46 |
| Nek | bekks, if there is 3 lines | 10:46 |
| syn-ack | <--- used to write kill batch files. | 10:46 |
| Meris | syn-ack, why not? for this function bash is quite similar. Yes I know it can do much, much more and a .bat file is not a shell, while bash is, but still... | 10:47 |
| Nek | maybe there are on a website | 10:47 |
| syn-ack | Right but its not "just like that" as you said. ;)\ | 10:48 |
| Meris | Nek, heck, I have nothing else to do until someone answers my question, I'll write the script for you. However, I *do* need to know which window manager you want to use in stead of compiz...And another thing, no guarantees whatsoever.... | 10:48 |

| siavashserver | num | 10:49 |

| Nek | Ubuntu is not cool for play. Np. I'll play on windows only. Thanks for help all :} . | 10:50 |
| * siavashserver fu | 10:50 | |
| Meris | DjobiDjoba, I'm glad it did, privacy is also a huge concern for me. On that note, if you are using a smartphone, be sure to check if it runs Carrier IQ, which is a keylogger builtin to the phone firmware. Older iPhones aslo have that annoying extra. | 10:51 |
| Meris | DjobiDjoba, aslo <=> also | 10:51 |
| syn-ack | My phone is CIQ free since A) VZW doesnt use them and B) I run CM7 ;) | 10:53 |
| Meris | Nek, you disappoint me. I have offered to write a script for you and you won't even go through the trouble of selecting another Window Manager? Cheesh.... | 10:53 |
| Meris | syn-ack, good for you, I wish that cm will come up with a stable release of cm for the defy plus... Sigh... | 10:54 |

| bixop | hello. i am trying to install broadcom wireless drivers from a mounted image of the ubuntu cd. The problem is that my drivers were removed when i updated to 12.04 and now my system wont let me install the file i need according to this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_No_Internet_access | 11:16 |
| bixop | can someone help me? | 11:16 |
| L3top | bixop: Why are you running mounted (and presumably chrooted) | 11:17 |
| bixop | L3top: well, im a noob and i dont know any other way. its an iso mounted from a usb. i dont have internet connection on my ubuntu machine | 11:18 |
| L3top | bixop: One way or the other you have to get internet to it in order to get internet on it :P or download the files and xfer them/put them on the USB. If I understand you, 1204 is already installed yes? I am asking why you are using an iso, because it can no more get on the internet than the install... so why not just use the install? | 11:19 |
| anthony__ | I had xfce installed and recently switched to using it (from gnome/unity etc). the icons (network & bluetooth) and the bluetooth context menu are broken. how can I make xfce use whatever it uses by default to display this information? | 11:22 |
| Koheleth | anyone from China here? | 11:22 |
| bixop | L3top: theres is an wireless internet connection - which I cant reach due to the drivers being uninstalled. My network card is damaged and therefor I can't use the regular network cable. Otherwise, i'm just following the guidelines for how to install the drivers without internet access and it told me I needed the installation data, so I downloaded it on another machine and put it on a USB stick and mounted it on my ubuntu machine. | 11:23 |
| oCean | Koheleth: how is that an Ubuntu issue? | 11:23 |
| Koheleth | testing some ubuntu firewall :) | 11:23 |
| bixop | yes 12-04 is installed | 11:23 |
| Koheleth | myabe I need bunt server, thought I would try here first, more users | 11:24 |
| oCean | Koheleth: this channel is for technical support questions only | 11:24 |
| L3top | bixop: Ok so what is the issue? You have the packages... do you just need to know how to install them?/ | 11:24 |
| bixop | L3top: exactly | 11:24 |
| bixop | it doesn't let me, neither in the terminal or in the program handler | 11:25 |
| Koheleth | oC I know, my Q is a bit more practical tho, just want someone located in China to try to access a domaon on my bunt server, will take it pm when someone says yes | 11:25 |
| L3top | Ok... well first just copy them from the USB to someplace on your pc. Typically these packages live in /var/cache/apt/archives. Then to install sudo dpkg -i b43fwcutter etc... | 11:25 |
| L3top | bixop: I would need to see an error. Can you please pastebin the output of your errors? Do you have the precise versions? | 11:26 |
| bixop | L3top: i type sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source. it replies access denied. I followed the steps of this manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_No_Internet_access | 11:26 |
| Koheleth | oCean: ok to pm you with a question? | 11:27 |
| oCean | Koheleth: sure | 11:27 |
| Koheleth | kk | 11:27 |
| L3top | bixop... as I said... FIRST copy these files from the usb to /var/cache/apt/archives. Then cd /var/cache/apt/archives. Then try to sudo dpkg -i again. | 11:27 |
| L3top | bixop: you would also need to use the full name of the package. | 11:28 |
| L3top | bixop: All of the above should be done on the install itself, not through live disk | 11:28 |
| L3top | bixop: where did you download these packages FROM? My guess is that you might have the wrong versions for precise. | 11:29 |
| bixop | L3top: i downloaded the latest ubuntu image from ubuntu.com | 11:30 |
| L3top | packages | 11:30 |

| Gifford | Heya people | 11:40 |
| Bartzy | I'm using a mdadm raid1 array for /boot (4 drives), and a raid10 array for the root partition (/). I can boot successfully only with rootdelay=X (I tried 60 and it works). Otherwise I get an error that the raid is not ready or something, and it can't find the LVM LVs.... Any idea on how to solve this intelligently and not by just delaying the boot? | 11:40 |
| bixop | L3top: correction, b43 fwcutter | 11:41 |
| Gifford | I got a netbook with Atom n270 and Windows XP on it. Will I have a faster PC if I replace Windows with Ubuntu? | 11:41 |
| aib | hmm, that's another 700MB to download. can I instead partition, debootstrap then run some kind of package-select to install whatever the CD would normally do so? | 11:41 |
| dj_who | hi, anybody knows how to configure pidgin lens to search in offline contacts? | 11:41 |
| bekks | Bartzy: Delaying the boot IS the intelligent option. There is no other option. | 11:41 |
| cvr | aib: netinstall | 11:41 |
| Bartzy | bekks: why is that happening? For how long should I delay? | 11:42 |
| cvr | aib: if you only have 256M RAM why are u trying to install the default ubuntu version doesnt meet the minimum specs | 11:42 |
| L3top | bixop: lets do this. cp -R /pool/main/b/b43* /mountpoint/home/username where mountpoint is where you have mounted your install and username is your username. | 11:42 |
| PrivateReese | can somebody just tell me the command to restart xserver? | 11:42 |
| bekks | Bartzy: For as long as it needs. 60s works as you stated, next try 50, then 40, etc. | 11:42 |
| L3top | PrivateReese: what buntu what version? | 11:42 |
| PrivateReese | xubuntu 12.04 | 11:42 |
| PrivateReese | ;-) | 11:42 |
| Bartzy | bekks: But it won't go crazy in some emergency reboot and suddenly need more ? | 11:42 |
| L3top | I expect it will be sudo service xfce4 restart but that is a guess PrivateReese | 11:43 |
| bekks | Bartzy: When it happens, you have to reboot again and higher that delay. | 11:43 |
| PrivateReese | yeah thanks i will just have a try | 11:43 |
| Bartzy | bekks: That sucks :| I just tried 10 seconds and it works. Why is that happening?! There is no event of mdadm telling the kernel or initramfs: "OK - go!" ? | 11:44 |
| bixop | L3top: | 11:45 |
| bekks | Bartzy: No, there isnt. And it is quite normal for a software RAID array to take a couple of seconds for assembling the RAID array. | 11:45 |
| PrivateReese | did not do it for me, hmm will just logout/login again, can I somehow save my xchat here to rejoin quickly afterwards? | 11:45 |

| === lubmil is now known as lub` | ||
| bekks | Bartzy: There is no "save default". It all depends on your hardware. | 11:45 |
| chrisirc | Hello. Is using rsync to create backups of ubuntu installations safe? Doesn't ubuntu use SELinux? How does rsync handle selinux permissions? Does ubuntu use any other kind of extended file metadata? | 11:47 |
| bekks | chrisirc: rsync doesnt even know what selinux permissions are. As long as those permissions arent saved in config files whatsoever, you will loose them. | 11:49 |
| PrivateReese | so the only hardware problem left for me on my dell l702x is just the FN Key for disabling the Touchpad does somebody have some idea how to fix it? | 11:49 |
| bekks | chrisirc: AND in addition you have to tell rsync to save ACLs too. | 11:49 |
| bixop | L3top: | 11:50 |
| chrisirc | That's what I mean, ACLs... so why the hell are there so many tutorials just telling us to use rsync -a? | 11:50 |
| Bartzy | bekks: What should I look for in my hardware? It's just a guess ? | 11:50 |
| bekks | chrisirc: ACL are totally different vom SELinux permissions. | 11:50 |
| chrisirc | hm, does selinux use config files only? | 11:51 |
| bekks | chrisirc: Because there is a man page and the output of --help which tells you on the needed paramaters for saving ACL too. | 11:51 |
| Meris | Bartzy, look it up in your manual if you have hardware RAID. There is no set standard. | 11:51 |
| L3top | bixop: sorry... kids running roughshot over me here. | 11:52 |
| Bartzy | I have mdadm. | 11:52 |
| bixop | L3top: its okay! thx for the help | 11:52 |
| bekks | chrisirc: So, in addition to -A for ACLs you will need -X for extended attributes (which are the third group of non-default permissions). | 11:52 |
| chrisirc | bekks, That's a bad because, because then many people will have backups with ACLs or whatever lost. | 11:52 |
| chrisirc | Tutorials for ubuntu should be safe for ubuntu :) | 11:52 |
| bekks | chrisirc: I am not aware of ONE single person actually using ACL or extended attributes at all. | 11:52 |
| bixop | the problem is that the package exists yet i cant install it for some reasons. | 11:53 |
| L3top | bixop: You said the folder was returned.. yet it will not allow you to copy it? Lets go back to what I said earlier and do this the other way. Boot into your install. | 11:53 |
| chrisirc | Ok, that's another thing; that's why Im asking here, does Ubuntu use anything of that? | 11:53 |
| bekks | chrisirc: And by default, Ubuntu does NOT use neither ACL nor Extended Attributes. | 11:53 |
| Meris | Bartzy, in that case it depends on the speed of your SATA controller along with the HDD access speed. That is, if you hav e modern CPU, for older (P4 or earlier) CPU's they are factor as well. | 11:53 |
| chrisirc | Good. That's what I wanted to know. | 11:53 |
| bekks | chrisirc: Thats totally different from what you asked ;) | 11:53 |
| L3top | bixop: you would not be able to install it unless you are chrooted... and if you were it would just install in the live session. Like I said. Boot into the install | 11:53 |
| bixop | L3top: can i do that with a mounted image? | 11:54 |
| L3top | bixop... please just boot into your install. | 11:55 |
| Fefefefe | I offer linux remote support for cheap prices. If anyone's interested, just contact me in pvt | 11:55 |
| chrisirc | bekks, I asked whether using rsync to backup ubuntu systems is safe; and asked about the areas where I feared that it wasn't. | 11:55 |
| bixop | L3top: i dont understand what that means | 11:55 |
| Gifford | I got a netbook with Atom n270 and Windows XP on it. Will I have a faster PC if I replace Windows with Ubuntu? | 11:56 |
| chrisirc | bekks, but in any case thanks for the clarifications. :) | 11:56 |
| L3top | bixop: you are booted to a live disk. I want you to boot into your regular install. Just boot to the hard drive. | 11:56 |
| bixop | L3top: i am already booted into my regular install. i was never on a live disk | 11:57 |
| Fefefefe | Gifford, if you do a correct configutation and use Lxde, then yes, it will | 11:57 |
| Gifford | that is in lubuntu? | 11:57 |
| L3top | bixop: then I have been very confused from the beginning. | 11:58 |
| Fefefefe | Gifford, yeh, in lubuntu it is default. But you obviously can install it on any *ubuntu distro | 11:58 |
| Gifford | Fefefefe: ok, downloading lubuntu then | 11:59 |

| L3top | anthony__: I expect it is something to the effect of service xfce4 suspend. | 12:02 |
| Bartzy | bekks: Are you sure that by doing dpkg-reconfigure mdadm and changing the "must have" md devices on boot there to md0 and md1, it won't work ? There is no difference, the rootdelay=X must be in the cmdline ? | 12:02 |
| Gifford | Fefefefe: ok, I will also install it to USB flash and use it there for a while | 12:03 |

| pckchem | tking: Do you have your localizations set to english? | 12:54 |
| tking | yes | 12:55 |
| zastaph | I'm a bit confused with Ubuntu Certified and Ubuntu Friendly programmes ... Do you base your purchase descision on these when choosing a laptop for running Ubuntu ? | 12:55 |
| L3top | bixop: Load up live disk, and run the following from terminal. sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1 | 12:55 |
| tking | pckhem to be sure how do i check that | 12:55 |
| db_loco | pckchem: thats fair enough. not to worry. I will try to research what i found before. I am just adding my solution to the forum post i placed before, so hopefully thiw ill help others ;) | 12:55 |
| zastaph | I wanted an Acer, but seems they have the least certified laptops for Ubuntu | 12:55 |
| tking | pckchem, i seem to have typed locale in terminal | 12:55 |

| pckchem | tking: for all of em? | 12:56 |
| wrapids | Any reason to use an actual install vs wubi? | 12:56 |
| melodie_ | zastaph, what will you use it for ? Maybe I could suggest a brand | 12:56 |
| bixop | L3top: while booted on my install or on CD? | 12:56 |
| zastaph | melodie, an 11" or 13" solely for development purposes | 12:56 |
| kanupatar | hi guys | 12:57 |

| zastaph | melodie, the new Acer Aspire V5 11" is very cheap and looks nice.. wonder if it will play | 12:57 |
| L3top | correct bixop | 12:57 |
| bixop | L3top: i meant it as a question - should i boot on install(the hard drive) or on the CD? | 12:58 |
| malin | I experience problems connecting to a wifi with wpa2 aes encryption. My system is: ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and a Intel PRO Wireles 4965 agn | 12:58 |
| tking | pckchem, this is the termina output when i typed locale http://pastebin.com/KKeAjDKw | 12:58 |
| L3top | bixop: you CANNOT run fsck on a disk that is mounted. You must run from the CD. <bixop> L3top: you told me to boot from the cd and do what? im sorry i cant find the text I took that to mean you understood. | 12:59 |
| kanupatar | any clues guys? | 13:00 |
| tking | pckchem, its correct right? | 13:00 |
| pckchem | tking: As far as I can tell, it must be a program you have installed then ignoring those settings. | 13:00 |
| pckchem | tking: what's in your autostart list (you said it was a startup issue right?) | 13:01 |
| bixop | L3top: alright, rebooting | 13:02 |
| kanupatar | what may be the name of cd mechanism driver in linux? | 13:02 |
| tking | pckchem, this is how it reads in my autstart Hijra Applet (calender in system tray icon) | 13:02 |
| Iaccidentally | anyone know where i can get the libxslt package on 12.04? | 13:03 |
| pckchem | tking: The package looks like hijra-applet. Try sudo apt-get remove hijra-applet from terminal | 13:04 |
| tking | pckchem, E: Unable to locate package from | 13:06 |
| pckchem | tking: Can you run the command and drop the entire output in a pastebin? | 13:06 |

| ilian | Hi | 13:11 |
| Iaccidentally | its odd though, i seem to remeber being able to apt-get it in the past. | 13:11 |
| kanupatar | here i got , the cd driver is it is compiled along with the kernel | 13:11 |
| kanupatar | grep -i BLK_DEV_SR /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y | 13:11 |
| kanupatar | how can i read the details of this driver? | 13:12 |
| tking | pckchem, its same command | 13:12 |
| ilian | I am trying to create a new upstart job but I have problems how to add it, I copied the file in /etc/init and run initctl reload-configuration but the job still does not appear in the list, any ideas what is wrong? | 13:12 |
| tking | pckchem, sorry its my mistake also | 13:12 |
| bixop | L3top: it replies: | 13:12 |
| tking | pckchem, i hv removed it from software center though | 13:13 |
| tking | pckchem, thanks very much, got to try a reboot now | 13:13 |
| bixop | L3top: e2fsck: need terminal for interactive repairs | 13:13 |
| zastaph | melodie_, did you have a recommendation, or? :p | 13:13 |

| shah` | ;] | 13:14 |
| L3top | bixop: how are you running this if not from terminal? | 13:14 |
| bixop | L3top: it is from a terminal.... | 13:15 |
| bixop | L3top: haha | 13:15 |
| tking | pckchem, its removed, so funny :) | 13:16 |
| L3top | bixop: is this the only output? | 13:16 |
| bixop | L3top: it also says: e2fsck 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) | 13:16 |
| pckchem | tking: I enjoyed it when you typed "from terminal" ;) anyways cheers | 13:16 |
| L3top | bixop: sudo -s | 13:16 |
| tking | pckchem, lol thanks | 13:17 |
| L3top | bixop: then run it again. | 13:17 |
| bixop | L3top: same outpot | 13:17 |
| bixop | *put | 13:17 |
| L3top | bixop: and these two lines are the ONLY output? | 13:18 |
| bixop | L3top: yes | 13:18 |
| bixop | twice | 13:18 |
| tking | pckchem, sorry want to ask something the Program name is Hijra how did u get the name to remove it? like hijra-applet its could be Hijra or any other name knowing the actual name baffles me | 13:18 |
| pckchem | tking: It usually baffles me too. But once you know a part of the name (you told me the name of the applet) usually a quick google search is all you need | 13:19 |
| pckchem | tking: Usually "ubuntu package + name" is enough. | 13:20 |
| jamesw03 | not strictly an ubuntu question, but does anyone know if a low speced machine will be able to record hd video from a usb tuner card (i'm not talking playback, i just mean capture only (playback on better computer)) | 13:20 |
| tking | pckchem, alright thanks | 13:20 |
| bixop | L3top: clarifying just to make sure: i booted from the cd, chose "try ubuntu" and opened a terminal typing what you told me to type. is that the correct way? | 13:21 |

| Scotty_ | WeakLink is what i like to call it lol | 13:36 |
| pckchem | bixop: So to summarize: You can see the package, but it is asking you to download more files, which you cannot do, because your internet isn't working yet? | 13:36 |
| jsebean | Scotty_ How do you like it? | 13:36 |
| Scotty_ | wish i could get FibreOp | 13:36 |

| jsebean | Scotty_ LOL ditto again | 13:37 |
| Scotty_ | thats the poop LOL | 13:37 |
| melodie_ | zaspire, and you can ask the vendors if the one machine is ok for Linux. They also sell some boxes will Linux already installed. | 13:37 |

| bixop | pckchem: basically yeah. and also the system doesn't grant me access to install the files on the cd - which i suppose should be enough to install the package. at least according to the ubuntu documentation | 13:37 |

| mankoff_ | pckchem: I don't have a choice if I have to run CUDA software, do I? | 13:41 |
| OerHeks | D[4]ni, plugins for rhytmbox should be in your /home folder, ~/.local/share/rhythmbox | 13:42 |
| jsebean | Scotty: You want to format the 30GB? | 13:42 |
| Scotty_ | they are all 4.2GB >> root.disk, home.disk, usr.disk | 13:42 |
| pckchem | mankoff_ Sorry I have no suggestions if those instructions aren't helpful. I'd suggest searching the forums in the meantime until someone here can help. | 13:42 |
| D[4]ni | OerHeks: already tried that too | 13:42 |
| jsebean | Scotty_: You want to format the 30GB or merge it or something? | 13:43 |
| Scotty_ | well I essentially had a mess of my last install with my win7 dual boot. so i decided to resinstall it all, however Ubuntu didnt use the parittion is created for it | 13:43 |
| narayana | D[4]ni: check your file permissions plugins dir, use the same for your plugin. also try checking version compatibility with rhythmbox. can't think of anything else. | 13:43 |
| pckchem | bixop: Are you doing all this from the liveCD too? | 13:43 |
| abra | Meris, ubottu thanks | 13:43 |

| pckchem | bixop: installed (as in, booted from the HDD) | 13:44 |

| mankoff_ | OerHeks: Thanks. I haven't tried that, but the author of that post, in his own comments section below, says it does not work. Hence my attempt to try 11.04, an officially supported flavor by NVidia. | 13:48 |
| Scotty_ | im not sure | 13:48 |
| jsebean | Scotty_: Windows 7 don't use FAT iirc so it must be on the 49GB NTFS | 13:48 |
| OerHeks | mankoff_, i see now | 13:48 |
| mankoff_ | OerHeks: Strange that he doesn't put a disclaimer up at the top of the post... | 13:48 |

| XiRoN | I just installed a copy of ubuntu | 14:06 |
| XiRoN | But I cant access root | 14:06 |
| DJones | !root | XiRoN | 14:06 |
| ubottu | XiRoN: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:06 |
| XiRoN | Thanks | 14:07 |
| DJones | XiRoN: Basically, from command line use "sudo command" and input your user password to run something with admin rights, or to run a graphical app, use "gksudo command" | 14:08 |
| XiRoN | I want to set a password for root | 14:09 |
| XiRoN | It's okay, I done it : | 14:09 |
| InspectorCluseau | XiRoN, you'll have to google for that | 14:09 |
| XiRoN | I just did "sudo passwd root" | 14:10 |
| DJones | XiRoN: Its nothing something thats recommended here, its not needed because of sudo/gksudo | 14:10 |
| nyuszika7h | XiRoN: sudo passwd -u root | 14:10 |
| nyuszika7h | sudo passwd root | 14:10 |
| DJones | s/nothing/not/ | 14:10 |
| nyuszika7h | XiRoN, if you just want a root shell; sudo su | 14:11 |

| Metzee | HOw to use the utility?? | 14:27 |
| Bartzy | bekks: Are you here by any chance ? | 14:27 |
| Kruptein | _noiro_: there are tons of free code editors | 14:28 |
| Kruptein | to start with the default gedit is decent enough for most small projects | 14:29 |

| _noiro_ | Kruptein, for now, I am wanting one I can code websites in, you know, HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, the works. But I would prefer avoid gedit as it lacks a few features (coloring, replace tabs with spaces, recognition of most languages, etc) | 14:30 |

| delac | leonard_: the tweaks is what you use to change the theme. once you find it. unfortunately, quick googling didnt bring up anything else but advices to change the resolution :( | 15:11 |
| HelloWorld321 | I'm sure it's possible to set up a 10-foot desktop UI for Ubuntu, with all the desktops and tweaks out there. But I'm afraid that's as far as I can get you. | 15:11 |
| Meris | synned, it might work, just try pasuspend [the program you want to run that has syncing problems] | 15:11 |
| leonard_ | delac: the changed resolution is what i have right now ... but its not really a "good looking" solution | 15:12 |

| Meris | magpie, sure why not, but just keep in mind that if you are using IPv6 exclusively, you won't be able to use any seeders that are not connected to IPv6 yet. | 15:28 |
| magpie | Meris, so how do i fix this? Or is it sommingk which cant be fixed because... ( i dont know,im out of ideas) | 15:29 |
| dagroves | synned: well it is called a TP-LINK WN-727N Wireless USB Adapter. This is what lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp | 15:29 |

| Meris | HelloWorld321, not neccesarily, no, but it might make things easier. On the other hand, if you look up the configuration in the manual of PHPMyAdmin, you might learn something useful that you can apply in any situation that involves PHPMyAdmin. | 15:29 |
| magpie | Meris, im not using ipv6 mate, i just saw the connections-info, i have ipv4 | 15:30 |
| peterrus | HelloWorld321, using virtualbox or qemu and running a virtualized instance of, for example,ubuntu + mysql should do the trick, no? | 15:30 |
| Meris | magpie, allright, what brand and model of router are you using? | 15:30 |
| magpie | Meris: Intracom-Telecom NetFaster WLAN 3 | 15:31 |
| HelloWorld321 | the documentation never says the pathname, it says "the phpmyadmin path", I think because they don't know if I'm running Ubuntu | 15:31 |
| thedude_ | Hi, what's the latest ubuntu version? I heard there are several branches, and that there is one which is the most up to date, like a testing branch of some sort. I would like to install that rather than the LTS. I don't know how the tagging works on ubuntu though | 15:32 |
| ikonia | thedude_: 12.04 | 15:32 |
| Meris | HelloWorld321, in that case, use the same path as the "binary" is in. | 15:32 |
| ikonia | thedude_: 12.04 is tha ltest | 15:32 |
| pckchem | thedude_: why? | 15:32 |
| pckchem | thedude_: their are more incremental builds but instability almost never worth it. | 15:33 |
| ikonia | pckchem: those are not meant to be used, they are basically he output of the automated build system | 15:33 |
| thedude_ | I would say that instability is almost never a problem either. | 15:33 |
| pckchem | thedude_: just take 12.04 and modify it as you wish. | 15:34 |
| Meris | magpie, access the thing, lookup "Applications" or NAT or port-forwarding or something similar and add the port-forwarding right to your machine with the torrent client installed. | 15:35 |
| pckchem | thedude: you can always build and install the latest driver/package etc to 12.04 | 15:35 |
| thedude_ | pckchem: but last time I donwloaded it the official LTS version, and found that most of the software in it was severely outdated with respect to that other 'developing' branch that I'm talking about. What's that other branch named? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | thedude_: do you have any idea what you are saying | 15:36 |
| pckchem | thedude_: that is because LTS versions are only released every few years. As it happens, right now the most recent stable version IS the LTS | 15:36 |
| pckchem | thedude_ In october, 12.10 will come out, and be the most bleeding edge. | 15:37 |
| thedude_ | pckchem: exactly, but I don't want that, I want the new one. The one that's being worked on atm. | 15:37 |
| pckchem | thedude_ : that doesn't exist outside daily builds. And those daily builds will not have much more updated packages than 12.04 | 15:38 |
| ikonia | thedude_: if you can't even work out what the development name of the project is, you'll strggle to run it, as it's quite broke | 15:38 |

| === sysop is now known as Guest20665 | ||
| BluesKaj | dagroves, extract the the file in your home directory , look for the Readme in the folder that's created. Usually instructions for installing the driver is included there , or a link to a tutorial | 15:41 |
| ikonia | thedude_ how can you be asking these question when earlier you said "stability is not a problem" | 15:41 |
| Jacta | Can anyone help me choose what to install, and maybe why? xubuntu 12.04 12.10 alpha or 12.10 daily builds? | 15:42 |
| dagroves | BlueKaj I have done that but I do not understand the readme file, it's getting into stuff that is a little advanced for me. | 15:42 |
| thedude_ | it's often not a problem in beta releases, alpha's are another subject though. | 15:42 |
| Jacta | gues its the same for ubuntu? | 15:42 |
| pckchem | thedude_ Seriously we are trying to help you out. You do not want these builds. Install 12.04. | 15:42 |

| dappermuis | escott: why the +x? | 16:42 |
| rajesh_ | what will be going on when system hibernates : like keeping some flags on the disks whether it is opened/closed | 16:42 |
| escott | dappermuis, execute on dirs means enter dir | 16:42 |
| iceroot | dappermuis: the user needs +x for the dirs to open them | 16:42 |
| dappermuis | escott: ah, right...perfect that worked! thanks | 16:43 |
| raidghost | pckchem: i dont trying to mount drives. i am trying to install to a 80GB that fdisk -l says is there. but the installer doesnt show it what so ever. | 16:43 |
| dappermuis | iceroot: thanks, that worked :) | 16:43 |
| escott | dappermuis, if you are logrotating that access.log don't forget to setfacl in your logrotate config | 16:43 |
| dappermuis | escott: is it an option in the logrotate config file? | 16:44 |
| escott | dappermuis, you can probably set some kind of post rotate command | 16:44 |
| Witewolf_2 | pckchem: Booting into Windows right now so I can paste the syslog.txt file... I couldn't get it to connect to the router, but I saw a bunch of txt in the file.. hopefully it will be enough to see whats going on. | 16:45 |
| dappermuis | escott: i don't need the user to be able to access the rotated logs, only the current one...can i ignore the logrotate then? | 16:45 |
| escott | dappermuis, no because rotation creates a new file | 16:45 |
| pckchem | raidghost: have you been playing with raid? Try instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21267/why-doesnt-the-installer-see-all-of-my-hard-drives | 16:45 |
| dappermuis | escott, ah ok | 16:46 |
| rajesh_ | i use dell xps 15r i am un able to adjust screen brightness with function keys (is any one having the same problem) | 16:46 |
| pckchem | witewolf hopefully | 16:46 |
| dappermuis | escott: will read up on logrotate then | 16:46 |
| raidghost | pckchem: have not played with anything | 16:48 |
| Witewolf | pckchem: http://pastebin.com/q7GPYCL9 | 16:48 |
| dappermuis | escott: it would be the same command for postrotate right? | 16:49 |
| escott | dappermuis, presumably | 16:49 |
| pckchem | raidghost: Well try instructions anyways. If you don't get the probe error I'll at least be able to eliminate that as a potential cause. | 16:49 |
| rajesh_ | i use dell xps 15r i am un able to adjust screen brightness with function keys (is any one having the same problem) | 16:49 |
| dappermuis | escott: cool, thanks | 16:49 |
| pckchem | witewolf only 700 lines.... my lucky day. You might want to turn off increased debugging (instructions on previous link i sent) | 16:50 |
| pckchem | witewolf Or restarting may do it. I'm not sure. | 16:50 |
| Witewolf | pckchem: Turn off which one? wpasupplicant? | 16:51 |
| pckchem | witewolf both: they will just keep logging away elsewise ;) | 16:51 |

| escott | _PanzerSajt, what the... what kind of system is this? | 17:01 |
| _PanzerSajt | escott: linaro on an omap4 tablet | 17:01 |
| _PanzerSajt | escott: Smartq t20 nad it has an "official" ubuntu firmware | 17:02 |
| jericom | Has anybody had problems with Google Chrome Flash Player, videos running in fast forward? Already tried to disable hardware acceleration on flash and disabled flash plugins. | 17:02 |
| auronandace | _PanzerSajt: what is linaro? | 17:02 |
| escott | _PanzerSajt, i think you need to find a linaro canel | 17:02 |
| escott | channel | 17:02 |
| escott | _PanzerSajt, its obvious why its read only. because /dev/mmcblk0p7 on /system is read only and /system/lib/modules is bound to /lib/modules. no idea how you change that | 17:03 |
| _PanzerSajt | ok thank you | 17:03 |
| escott | _PanzerSajt, rather. i know a way you could change that, but i have no idea if it is safe | 17:04 |
| _PanzerSajt | escott: I can try it out | 17:04 |
| subdmg | is there a way for me to lock a shared folder on ubuntu so windows machines cant access it with out password? | 17:04 |
| escott | _PanzerSajt, don't blame anyone here if you brick your system but you could just "sudo mount -o remount,rw /system" | 17:05 |
| _PanzerSajt | auronandace: linaro is an organistaion which is aiming to install linux os's on embeded systems | 17:05 |
| himsin | I have stored export http_proxy = http://myuser:pass@proxy:port in .bashrc file, but when I open the terminal and echo $http_proxy I get only http://proxy:port | 17:05 |
| escott | subdmg, confused by the fact that "lock" and "without a password" appear in the same sentence | 17:05 |
| wN | _PanzerSajt: your file-system goes read-only by itself when the kernel has an problem sending IO to the device. The two main causes are (1) filesystem corruption and (2) disconnection from storage. | 17:06 |
| wN | _PanzerSajt: the remount command wont work in those scnerios, you'll need unmount and re-mount hte filesystem | 17:06 |
| escott | wN, thats not his situation | 17:06 |
| subdmg | escott sorry about that, what I meant ppl have to have a password to access the shared folder | 17:07 |
| wN | escott: then he doesn't need to worry about it. | 17:07 |

| subdmg | escott ok thanks, i'll take a look at that. | 17:08 |
| _PanzerSajt | wN: thanks so how can I find out what is the cause? | 17:09 |
| wN | _PanzerSajt: it will be evident in the logs. | 17:09 |
| wN | and dmesg | 17:09 |
| puppy_parade | why has flash on chrome been so terrible recently? | 17:10 |
| escott | _PanzerSajt, the cause would seem to be that this is how linaro configures the system | 17:10 |
| wN | puppy_parade: i blame adobe | 17:10 |
| auronandace | puppy_parade: flash is awful no matter what browser you use | 17:10 |
| _PanzerSajt | escott: wN would it help if I post dmesg? | 17:10 |

| guest-gVmHfJ | Hello world :) | 17:16 |
| trism | in2rd: you are using gnome-panel? the default panel in 12.04 doesn't have the notification area, so you would need to add it (alt+right click, add to panel) | 17:16 |

| tomt | hello, i have a LAN with a linux router, connected to my ISP's leased line. The router has a PPTP VPN open as interface ppp0 (its a commercial 'hideipvpn' account for testing purposes). I would like to make it so that all traffic from one host on my LAN is routed via this VPN tunnel, in a manner that is transparent to the host in question | 17:23 |

| yannick_ | ;) | 17:25 |
| ngc0202 | but I don't see it there | 17:25 |

| pckchem | witewolf: (hold on phone) | 17:27 |
| xangua | !java | Chamunks | 17:27 |
| ubottu | Chamunks: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 17:27 |
| Chamunks | the java documentation in the community does not cover it. | 17:27 |
| Witewolf | pckchem: Take your time, I appreciate the help. | 17:27 |
| yannick_ | ok | 17:27 |
| Chamunks | xangua, doesnt cover 64 bit java6 | 17:27 |
| BlueWolf | yannick_: You asking me? | 17:28 |
| ngc0202 | Witewolf: I probably deleted that a while ago, and I re-downloaded it | 17:28 |
| xangua | Chamunks: the instructions in the java site are also pretty easy to follow if you read them | 17:28 |
| yannick_ | yep | 17:28 |
| ngc0202 | Witewolf: And when I run it, it shows the install stuff again, nothing about un-installing | 17:28 |
| yannick_ | @BlueWolf :D | 17:28 |
| Witewolf | ngc0202: Do you have seperate partitions, or just one partition on the drive? | 17:28 |
| BlueWolf | yannick_: If you read it again I clearly say Rhythmbox. Can you help? | 17:29 |
| ngc0202 | Witewolf: I have a partition just for Ubuntu, ye | 17:29 |
| ngc0202 | +s | 17:29 |
| yannick_ | no sorry | 17:29 |
| Chamunks | xangua, k i figured it was gonna be just a quick download than ./install.sh or something | 17:29 |
| yannick_ | dsl | 17:29 |
| yannick_ | ;) | 17:29 |
| Chamunks | but i didnt see anything like that in the tar but I'll check again | 17:29 |
| Witewolf | ngc0202: It's not the best way to do it, but you can always delete that partition. | 17:29 |
| Chamunks | i've tried like 4 other methods already so i've got alot of cleaning to do. | 17:29 |
| Chamunks | xangua, im on my way out tho but thanks for the reassurrance. | 17:29 |
| ngc0202 | Witewolf: that seems kinda messy... | 17:29 |
| yannick_ | trying | 17:29 |
| Witewolf | ngc0202: I would try to make sure I downloaded the right Wubi.exe... other than that. I have no ideas. | 17:30 |
| ngc0202 | the right one? | 17:30 |
| Witewolf | ngc0202: 32bit/64bit ect. | 17:31 |
| ngc0202 | That would matter for uninstalling? | 17:31 |
| Witewolf | ngc0202: It shouldn't, but I've seen weirder things happen. Lol. | 17:31 |
| pckchem | witewolf: Sorry - use "ubuntu-bug linux" to report to launchpad. Also attach the syslog I had you make. Let me know the bug # once you've done it--I'll set it up so it gets to people with the right expertise. | 17:32 |

| yannick_ | ??? | 18:58 |
| kadakas | been googling for 2 hours to no avail. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS on a hardware RAID5 array. It kinda detects the array on installation, because its asking "Activate Serial ATA RAID devices?", but after that the RAID array is not on the "Partition disks" list. There is only "Configure iSCSI volumes", a blank row, "undo changes ..." and "finish ..". The RAID5 consists of 3x 700GB drives with a 8K block size. Does anyone know | 18:58 |
| yannick_ | don't know sorry | 18:58 |

| L3top | Linuxuser__: and xorg.conf would only be necessary in an odd setup, like dual monitors etc. | 19:17 |

| MagneticDuck | hey, I have a silly little newbie question: when do you see it fit to use console mode? | 19:46 |
| guntbert | !cli | MagneticDuck | 19:46 |
| ubottu | MagneticDuck: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 19:46 |
| MagneticDuck | ubottu: I know | 19:46 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: when you can do the task faster with the cli then using the gui. for everything else you dont need the cli | 19:46 |
| MagneticDuck | I understand how that works | 19:47 |
| MagneticDuck | but when is it useful to use the "console mode" | 19:47 |
| MagneticDuck | I mean as opposed to just a terminal window | 19:47 |
| yannick_ | ok | 19:47 |
| MagneticDuck | in whatever window manager is set up | 19:47 |
| MagneticDuck | are there any benefits? | 19:47 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: you mean when it is better to use TTY1 (ctrl + alt +f1) instead of a terminal like gnome-terminal? | 19:48 |
| MagneticDuck | yes | 19:48 |
| MagneticDuck | is it.. faster? | 19:48 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: i dont see a single reason to use TTY1 if you have x running with a terminal | 19:48 |
| MagneticDuck | or just to prove that there's something under the GUI | 19:48 |
| guntbert | MagneticDuck: you use a virtual terminal in such situations when a terminal window is not feasible (no X, the video card plays up, ...) | 19:48 |
| bekks | MagneticDuck: No it isnt. | 19:49 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: no, tty1 is slower then a terminal | 19:49 |
| MagneticDuck | ..oh | 19:49 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: the drawing is slower in tty1 then on a terminal based on the x-server | 19:49 |

| MagneticDuck | ;D | 19:50 |
| guntbert | shamt: for once or permanently? | 19:51 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: there is one advantage when using tty1. when using kernel 2.6.38 or higher, there is a cgroup-patch which is giving a much better performance for tasks on multiple ttys (tty1 as the cli, and tty7 as the x-server for example) | 19:51 |

| Phoebus | After upgrading, port 21 is closed by default, vsftpd stopped working. Ideas? | 19:54 |
| OerHeks | Sjaak, let ubuntu calculate your swap, it needs a little more than the ammount of ram. | 19:54 |
| Sjaak | I like to configure my own partitions | 19:54 |
| bekks | OerHeks: It doesnt. It needs exactly as much swap as RAM at most. | 19:54 |
| bekks | OerHeks: Technically, there is no reason for more swap. | 19:54 |
| OerHeks | bekks, wrong. it needs some memory for other cache | 19:55 |
| bekks | OerHeks: It doesnt. | 19:55 |
| Sjaak | so I should enlarge the swap file with a couple of hundred megs? | 19:55 |
| bwat47 | for hibernate to work for me i just needed to add resume=UUID=[uuid here] in /etc/default/grub, and in precise you need to create a policykit file if you want hibernate to show up in the menu | 19:55 |

| bekks | OerHeks: Technically, linux doesnt need 1 bit for caching. If you have more, then it will use more. It doesnt need to use RAM for caching. | 19:56 |
| bekks | Sjaak: Having as much swap as your RAM is sufficient. | 19:56 |

| iceroot | madnewb: please dont use 12.10 if you dont know how to fix things | 20:06 |
| playman | I thought I had formated the HDD as ext4, but it shows as HPFS/NTFS why is that? | 20:06 |
| madnewb | nevermind, it says that it also supports chromium. | 20:06 |

| mdel | hey all... I have my terminal application set up to run as a login shell | 20:15 |
| lvalue | how to add /usr/local/go/bin to my $PATH variable permanently? | 20:15 |
| mdel | it doesn't seem to be sourcing .profile, though | 20:15 |
| mdel | any ideas? | 20:15 |
| mdel | lvalue: put it in your ~/.bashrc | 20:16 |
| mdel | lvalue: PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/go/bin | 20:16 |
| mdel | good luck with Go, its a stange language :) | 20:17 |
| mdel | strange | 20:17 |
| playman | guntbert: I used the command "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1" wich should have made the HDD as Ext4 but not HPFS/NTFS right? | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mdel: sure about the quotes? | 20:19 |
| lvalue | mdel: i used PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/go/bin but when i close the terminal it doesn't work anymore | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | DWSR: if you run: xev and press the button, does it make an event? | 20:19 |
| mdel | ActionParsnip: should work, i dont see why not | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mdel: sweet, just not seen it that way | 20:19 |
| mdel | lvalue: be sure you are running a login shell | 20:20 |
| guntbert | playman: yes, and where do you see it as NTFS? | 20:20 |
| mkanyicy | lvalue, that is the expected result | 20:20 |
| lvalue | mdel: its just first day ! but its amazing ! | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lvalue: if you add it in ~/.bashrc it will apply to all terminals you open | 20:20 |
| fellayaboy | in ubuntu 10.04 how do i setup vnc remote server | 20:20 |
| mdel | err... bashrc is NON login shells | 20:20 |
| mkanyicy | lvalue, do as ActionParsnip is suggesting | 20:20 |
| lvalue | Actionparsnip: i 'll give it a try | 20:20 |
| mdel | i did tell him to put it in bashrc :) | 20:21 |
| iceroot | mdel: really? | 20:21 |
| iceroot | mdel: normally a login-shell should source .bashrc | 20:21 |
| iceroot | mdel: login shell = interactive shell | 20:21 |
| family | So, I use vbox on ubuntu 12.04 I wish to use USB and I remember I have to add my user to the group. So i open User Accounts and WOW. the button to manage groups has gone. Please advise ! | 20:21 |
| playman | guntbert: check here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093805/ | 20:21 |
| mdel | iceroot: you can have an interactive but non-login shell | 20:21 |
| lvalue | mdel: put it where? :-| | 20:22 |
| lvalue | mdel: i mean in the file .bashrc?' | 20:22 |
| mdel | ubuntu has in the default ~/.profile a source of ~/.bashrc | 20:22 |
| mdel | .profile is read on login shells, unless .bash_profile trumps it | 20:22 |

| mdel | iceroot: right, but it isn't necessarily a login shell | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lvalue: mdel: or you can put it in /etc/bashrc.bashrc for gloabl effect (file name may be slightly off) | 20:24 |
| guntbert | playman: I am not sure but as far as I know that entry only tells the assigned partiton type, not the file system | 20:24 |
| family | does 12.04 not have a mange groups view anymore? | 20:24 |
| mdel | its bash.bashrc | 20:24 |
| iceroot | mdel: so when i type "zsh" it is an interactive non-login shell? | 20:24 |
| mdel | depends on how it is configured :) | 20:24 |
| mdel | i also no nothing about zsh | 20:25 |

| SparFux1 | Hi all. What is the status of selinux and systemd in ubuntu? | 20:34 |
| mdel | man... finally got XFCE to look like gnome2 :) | 20:34 |
| bazhang | !selinux | SparFux1 | 20:34 |
| ubottu | SparFux1: SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 20:34 |
| guntbert | playman: no problem, you should be able to do the same thing with fdisk or (easier) cfdisk, but just to make sure, check that file system with sudo fsck -f /dev/sdc1 - that should tell you that is is using an ext module | 20:34 |
| bazhang | live-config-systemd is the only systemd package I can find currently SparFux1 | 20:35 |
| eee4444 | no | 20:36 |
| playman | guntbert: I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093835/ | 20:37 |
| bazhang | eee4444, whats the chipset | 20:37 |
| eee4444 | heres the output http://pastebin.com/8BidMx14 | 20:37 |
| eee4444 | prism | 20:37 |
| eee4444 | prism 2 | 20:37 |
| SparFux1 | hm... ok. I guess ubuntu uses aptitude and this is the best package manager afaic. But using selinux in ubuntu can end up in trouble then. | 20:38 |
| bazhang | prism2-usb-firmware-installer is what I found for usb eee4444 but nothing for pcmcia cards, which are notoriously hard to get going reliably | 20:39 |
| guntbert | playman: oops, how did you create that partition? | 20:39 |
| bwat47 | ubuntu already uses apparmor anyway | 20:39 |
| bazhang | SparFux1, aptitude needs to be installed, ubuntu uses apt-get by default | 20:39 |
| SparFux1 | bazhang: yes, thanks. | 20:40 |
| guntbert | !aptitude | SparFux1 take care | 20:40 |
| ubottu | SparFux1 take care: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 20:40 |
| playman | guntbert: erm... I have no idea tbh. this was a NTFS drive wich I plugged into the server and used the "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 " to make it as Ext4 drive | 20:41 |
| eee4444 | yes | 20:41 |

| playman | guntbert: I was able to create a folder on the disk, that's the only data on it | 20:44 |

| playman | guntbert: yeah, I had removed all the data before I started :) | 20:46 |
| guntbert | playman: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc, then type m (to get help), then p (to print the partition table) then call me again | 20:48 |
| playman | guntbert: this is what I got http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093852/ | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Shirakawasuna: you'll need a script using 'apt-cache show name' then grep for the PPA name | 20:54 |
| guntbert | playman: perfect, now press t (to set the partition type), select 1 (for sdc1), then 83 (for linux type), after that press w to write it to disk and exit | 20:54 |
| manners13 | anyone got any ideas? | 20:55 |

| DracoDanLRPC | ugh, I thought ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly? I use fedora/centos/RHEL on a regular basis. On those distros there is a single logical way to manage network interfaces.

So far I have totally failed to get it configured, even after I installed a gui to get network-manager available... can someone | 21:09 |

| DracoDanLRPC | If I were okay with dhcp I would have no issues at all | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DracoDanLRPC: if you have a desktop OS, you can use network manager to configure a static IP there (or again use /etc/network/interfaces file) | 21:11 |
| DracoDanLRPC | ugh | 21:11 |
| DracoDanLRPC | so rebuilding with quantal would be the way to go, even for a home-lab system? | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DracoDanLRPC: you can keep what you have but if you get driver/kernel issues you will probably be pointed to the kernel maintainer | 21:12 |
| DracoDanLRPC | I couldn't imagine that would cause the issue I'm seeing. I was trying to read online about setting up a static IP and there seem to be so many approaches to network configuration that it's almost laughable | 21:13 |
| escott | DracoDanLRPC, just use the network manager gui. im sure thats exactly the same as how fedora does it | 21:13 |
| * DracoDanLRPC wanted an ifcfg-eth0 file | 21:14 | |

| jericom | Does anyone know how to get MS WMV codecs with video/x-ms-asf | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jericom: did you install w32codecs from medibuntu? | 21:33 |
| jericom | ActionParsnip, Yep no luck | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jericom: alsoi | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jericom: oops | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jericom: also installl vlc and gnome-mplayer and you should be ok | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc plays .asf files here. | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | not sure if .asf can have differnt codecs or not.. | 21:35 |
| === BlouBlou is now known as wtf | ||
| bekks | Yes, it can. | 21:35 |
| guntbert | playman: I see no problem, you can try it with sudo mount -a and then mount (to check) | 21:35 |
| jericom | ActionParsnip, Installed vlc and mplayer and still does not work | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Systems_Format | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | The format does not specify how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded; | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jericom: where did these video files come from? | 21:36 |
| jericom | ActionParsnip, vlc gives the following error : No suitable decoder module: | 21:36 |
| jericom | VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 21:36 |
| MonkeyDust | jericom at least, that message is clear ;) | 21:37 |
| jericom | Dr_Willis, Audio is ok, video is not working | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like some DRM protected video | 21:37 |
| jericom | Dr_Willis, I wanted to view the video in Ubuntu not in a Windows VM. | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | jericom MSS2, what kind of format is that? | 21:39 |
| Dr_Willis | jericom: its possible ffmpeg, or mencoder, or somthing might be able to convert it... | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Video | 21:40 |
| zorg24 | am I blind or is their no way to get to the settings for skype? | 21:40 |
| trey | jericom: You'll need w32codecs package | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | DMO-based codec. Optimized for low-bitrate sequential screen captures or screencasts. | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea what 'DMO-based' means. | 21:41 |
| trey | jericom: If that doesn't help, medibuntu packages could help you out. | 21:41 |
| zorg24 | oh lol I found it they're just well hidden | 21:41 |
| jericom | trey, I have tried that and it does not work | 21:41 |

| DracoDanLRPC | I'm sure several of you saw this coming, but now I can't make sense of getting name resolution working... | 21:43 |

| Kingsy | escott: what are you telling me with that information ? | 21:45 |
| escott | Kingsy, that you could install g++ | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DracoDanLRPC: if youy use static ip you will need to manually set the name servers too | 21:45 |
| DracoDanLRPC | awww. that's jacked :P | 21:45 |
| Kingsy | escott: by installing gcc-defaults ?? | 21:46 |
| Kingsy | the reason I am confused is.. I already have gcc and it works | 21:46 |
| Kingsy | just not g++ | 21:46 |
| escott | Kingsy, just apt-get install g++ | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DracoDanLRPC: well the interface won't send out a DHCP request, so how will anything get sent back with settings | 21:46 |

| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: mark it as executable then run it | 21:49 |
| bekks | sh installer.sh | 21:49 |
| bekks | No need for making it executable. | 21:49 |
| livingdaylight | running it isn't doing anything | 21:49 |
| manners13 | can anyone tell me why this line doesnt work | 21:49 |
| manners13 | $result6 = ssh2_exec($conn_id, 'cat bacula-dir.tmp | (sed "${line3,line4}d" > bacula-dir.tmp2)'); | 21:49 |
| manners13 | the shell part runs fine in terminal just not from php | 21:50 |
| bekks | useless use of cat :) | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: its an installer binary, you can run it in terminal if you want. It may need to be ran with sudo too | 21:50 |
| bekks | sed supports inline replacement. | 21:50 |
| escott | manners13, you can't just embed shell into php. it doesnt work that way | 21:50 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, thx, will give it a go with sudo in terminal | 21:50 |

| manners13 | lol its working for most of my commands just not this one | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: remember to match case, use TAB to autocomplete stuff | 21:51 |
| DracoDanLRPC | ActionParsnip: there's that and the fact that google promotes an open internet and will never try to use DNS blackholes to block things unless something like SOPA finally passes (lol) | 21:51 |
| danley | has anybody worked with that before and can help me out? | 21:51 |

| bekks | linux: Thats sufficient in the first step. | 21:52 |
| h00k | Dr_Willis: ya beat me to it! | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I think they finally updated that manual to 12.04 | 21:52 |
| manners13 | the pipe is established further up the script | 21:52 |
| linux | Thanks, i will look into it | 21:53 |
| manners13 | this is one of many commands being ran and the rest are working up to this one | 21:53 |
| manners13 | $conn_id = ssh2_connect($ip); | 21:53 |

| manners13 | $shell = ssh2_shell($conn_id,"bash"); | 21:53 |
| manners13 | is the pipe | 21:54 |
| manners13 | escott do you see any problems with the way im doing it? | 21:54 |
| lolofyou2600 | hello everybody :D | 21:55 |
| escott | manners13, the | and >> in your problematic line are shell directives. you need a shell to interpret those characters | 21:55 |
| * lolofyou2600 bored :p | 21:56 | |
| manners13 | ok how can i get around that | 21:56 |
| jerryitt | apologies guys, asked that in the wrong channel.. | 21:56 |
| NictraSavios | Alright guys I've tried everything from reinstall xinit and xorg, to purging, to reinstalling lightdm and gnome shell. Long story short, My setuid bit got screwed up and turned off on all the files in my system. So I tried to undo it, now I have some files that require a setuid, and some that are saying I shouldnt have it. | 21:57 |
| manners13 | escott the > cant be an issue as it actually creates the file bacula-dir.tmp2 | 21:58 |
| manners13 | itr must be the | | 21:58 |
| bekks | NictraSavios: What did you do to unset the setuid on all files on your system? | 21:58 |
| lolofyou2600 | i have a question . what version of linux is better for bigginers | 21:59 |
| NictraSavios | Something sort of like "find ./ -p(something) s -exec chmod -s {}\; | 21:59 |
| lolofyou2600 | ? | 21:59 |
| NictraSavios | find / * | 21:59 |
| bekks | NictraSavios: That screwed up your system. Hopefully you have a backup handy. | 21:59 |
| NictraSavios | Well, thats what I'm about to ask someone here for. | 21:59 |
| bekks | NictraSavios: WE do not have a backup of YOUR system :) | 22:00 |
| NictraSavios | If they can run a command that gives me a list of the files on their system that have setuid set on, I can work from that | 22:00 |
| k1l | lolofyou2600: just grab a ubuntu live cd and test it | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | find / -xdev -type f -perm +u=s -print (from google) to get such a list | 22:00 |
| lolofyou2600 | i have a macbook pro so i just want to know what linux is better ? | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | lolofyou2600: that's not english | 22:01 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. that command returned no binaries suid here.. | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | lolofyou2600: 'what linux is better'....isn't a sentance | 22:01 |
| NictraSavios | There, can someone run this "find / \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) 2> /dev/null" and send me the output on pastebin ? | 22:01 |
| lolofyou2600 | i tried ubuntu ones | 22:01 |
| k1l | lolofyou2600: this is a ubuntu support channel. so the answer is: ubuntu :) for comparisions between some other distributions try #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux | 22:01 |
| Dr_Willis | lolofyou2600: what you are doing with the computer. is of more impontance | 22:01 |
| NictraSavios | please run it with sudo * | 22:01 |
| NictraSavios | so, "sudo find / \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) 2> /dev/null" and send me the output on pastebin please :P | 22:02 |
| lolofyou2600 | i just want to learn linux thats all | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | lolofyou2600: then it dosent matter. | 22:02 |
| manners13 | then use ubuntu | 22:02 |

| NictraSavios | Linix: Google for it, Its not in the offical repos | 22:07 |
| bekks | arian----: I guess it was you whom I already told that :) | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | arian----: use sudo -i, forget sudo su even exists... | 22:07 |
| SKullB0x | NictraSavios: where do i find the executable for php ? | 22:08 |
| NictraSavios | arian sudo su is well... pretty much stupid, invalid... whatever you wanna call it. Its wrong. | 22:08 |
| Linix | ok | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: sudo -i uses your settings and environment, sudo su will use root's, which are blank | 22:08 |
| arian---- | can i use sudo -i ""sudo"" update ? | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo -i -> you have a root shell.. no need for sudo in the root shell | 22:08 |
| === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk | ||

| NictraSavios | Alright, I'll brb. Gotta write a short bash script | 22:20 |
| brandon | dr.willes u stupid it ubuntu chat any desktop for ubuntu is supported | 22:21 |
| zamn | ActionParsnip: That link you gave me references the /apps/nautilus/preferences show_desktop which I do not have :p | 22:21 |
| bazhang | brandon, stop that | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | brandon: You are refering to the GNOME-2 Fork called 'MATE' ? | 22:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | during apt-get update, I'm getting 404 on one of them. How do I know which one it is? | 22:21 |
| brandon | dr yes | 22:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | it's a ppa, so it just says 'ppa.launchpad.net' | 22:21 |
| bazhang | brandon, dont call names. MATE is NOT supported here | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zamn: might be slightly different in Gnome3 | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | brandon: its not an official ubuntu pavckagte.. so not supported. | 22:21 |
| brandon | what ever | 22:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | n/m I was too impatient... it appeared at the end | 22:22 |
| bazhang | brandon, so stop asking about it here | 22:22 |
| brandon | how to join mates channel | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | brandon: no idea. check its homepage for its support channels. | 22:22 |
| bazhang | !alis | brandon have a search | 22:22 |
| ubottu | brandon have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 22:22 |

| ghostconn | any help greatly appreciated | 22:26 |
| arian---- | ?? | 22:27 |
| netAction | zamn: What? | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | netAction: the SSID is 2M and verbindung hergestellt means connection made | 22:27 |
| arian---- | can i use at command on sudo -i ? and it download and install all packages i added to at? | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: if you run: sudo -i in a terminal you will get an interactive sudo which will run til you run: exit you will not have to use sudo or your password in the session | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | netAction: what 'symbol' are you referencing? | 22:28 |
| arian---- | <ActionParsnip>, that mean I can do that :) | 22:28 |
| arian---- | ? | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: can do what? | 22:29 |
| arian---- | <ActionParsnip>, successfully run "at" command and get packages?? | 22:29 |
| Magiobiwan | So, during the Distro Upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, my laptop went to a terminal interface. | 22:29 |
| Qualia | hey my window manager changed my keyboard input method to system default, to the original and I had to fix this. So I used, dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration to change it back. But it triggered update-initramfs and said: deferring update (trigger activated) | 22:30 |
| Magiobiwan | It stopped after checking the Battery State | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: you can use: sudo at and you can install packages, the at will be scheduled as root which has appropriate access. | 22:30 |
| Jagst3r15 | does ubuntu have OpenGL included out of the box | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: do you use proprietary video drivers? | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jagst3r15: yes if the video chip gets 3D drivers out of the box | 22:30 |
| Magiobiwan | ActionParsnip: I just installed Ubuntu | 22:31 |
| Magiobiwan | Yesterday. | 22:31 |
| Jagst3r15 | actionparsnip video chip = graphic card? | 22:31 |
| Magiobiwan | So it'd be using whatever drivers it came with. | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: Yes but did you enable proprietary video drivers, for an nvidia gpu or an ATI gpu? | 22:31 |
| Magiobiwan | Uh, my laptop has an Intel 945 GM | 22:31 |
| Magiobiwan | IJP | 22:31 |
| Magiobiwan | IGP* | 22:32 |
| Magiobiwan | So, I doubt I did. | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Jagst3r15: the GPU is the chip on the card. The actual card itself is irrelevant, you just need the chip | 22:32 |
| arian---- | <ActionParsnip>, can you say with yes or no this question (my english is not advance :) ) can i use "at" on the sudo -i | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: should be part of the install, strange its causing issues | 22:32 |
| Magiobiwan | http://img692.imageshack.us/i/imagespqp.jpg/ | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: you don't need sudo -i to use at with sudo | 22:32 |
| netAction | ActionParsnip: The icon between bluetooth and audio | 22:32 |
| Magiobiwan | Thats the screen its on now. | 22:33 |
| arian---- | <ActionParsnip>, with yes or no please | 22:33 |
| arian---- | :) | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | arian----: no, it's not needed, you will just run: sudo at and use it like that | 22:33 |
| ghostconn | what would be a good idle temp for a amd 9950 BE non clocked using a corsair h60 with two 120mm fans | 22:33 |

| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: I'd ask in ##hardware sorry | 22:33 |
| ghostconn | thanks | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: you could, then boot to root recovery mode and fix things | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | Magiobiwan | 22:34 |
| ubottu | Magiobiwan: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 22:34 |
| Magiobiwan | Simpler terms please? | 22:34 |
| pwuertz | Hi, I installed indicator-multiload and indicator-cpufreq but no indicators show up at the top bar when launching these applications. Regression in 12.04 ? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: reboot and hold shift at boot, select recovery mode and select root, then type the command ubottu gave and hit ENTER, it should continue the package installation for you | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: simple enough | 22:35 |
| Magiobiwan | Oh, it's an alongside install with XP pro | 22:35 |
| Magiobiwan | Gimme a minute while I boot XP | 22:36 |
| Magiobiwan | Ill come in on X-Chat | 22:36 |
| Magiobiwan | Rather than my iPhone. | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: as long as you can boot to root recovery mode you are ok | 22:36 |
| Magiobiwan | Darn you CHKDSK | 22:36 |
| Magiobiwan | I did have the Recovery Mode option | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Magiobiwan: hold shift at boot and you will | 22:37 |
| Magiobiwan | I saw it on my OS choice screen. | 22:37 |

| ghostconn | what would be a good idle temp for a amd 9950 BE non clocked using a corsair h60 with two 120mm fans. I currently idle at 49-54C i believe this is high but this is why im asking. I have tried the hardware channel and there is not a single sole there lol | 22:38 |
| meco | I'm having an issue with transmission-daemon that may be distro-related (I have the latest, 12.04 or something). When I log in using the web interface I don't see any files. Still, iftop shows file transfers in progress. Does anyone know anything about this? | 22:38 |
| Magiobiwan | But, let me come in here on XP and X-Chat | 22:38 |
| Magiobiwan | Better than my phone client. | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostconn: soul, not sole | 22:38 |

| ghostconn | lol sry | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: what if you add a new torrent? | 22:39 |
| Magiobiwan | ghostconn: Just be patient. | 22:39 |
| ghostconn | ok | 22:39 |
| Magiobiwan | And, its ##hardware | 22:40 |
| Magiobiwan | With 2 #'s | 22:40 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: That opens up transmission-gtk! | 22:41 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: Sorry, I just clicked the torrent url. Now I managed to add the torrent using the web interface. That worked. Now I have one file in the display. | 22:43 |

| ActionParsnip | meco: you can use transgui if you want an app to talk to the web ui | 22:53 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: How? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: it's in the repos | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !info transgui | 22:54 |
| ubottu | transgui (source: transgui): Front-end to remotely control Transmission. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 1916 kB, installed size 5112 kB | 22:54 |

| coventry | If I use a nonstandard desktop like LXDE, NetworkManager stops working properly across suspend/resume. On resuming, it keeps trying to bind to the ESSID it was bound to before suspension, even if that access point is no longer in range. How could I fix this? | 22:57 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: My problem is that the web ui (transmission-deamon) cannot see all the files that I can see using transmission-gtk. I have just installed the daemon so I'm trying to sort this out. The download directory is set to the old location, but I still don't see the files. | 22:57 |

| fizyplankton | is it possible to make a folder that is possible to write to, but not delete from? | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | fizyplankton: since you could overwrite a file with 'null' that may not be very usefull. | 23:00 |
| escott | fizyplankton, there might be something with acl's | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | I never have looked into ACL's much | 23:01 |

| Ronuken | Is there an easy way to downgrade the kernel in precise. It appears the current kernel has issues with my wifi device driver | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Ronuken: You could pin/use older kernel versions that are in the same release. but going earlier then that.. may be harder. | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Ronuken: theres also ppa's for newer kernels that might fix the issue sooner. | 23:02 |

| fizyplankton | Dr_Willis: im trying to install a chrome extension. it wont install, and i says it cant read a tmp file. i tried to see how much of its temp files existed, but the chrome deleted the folder. i tried to freeze the folder, which only lasts a split second, like this (its name changes every time, but it alwats starts with scoped) "sudo true; cd /tmp; cont=1; while [ $cont -eq 1 ]; do if [ -e scoped* ]; then chown root scoped* | 23:05 |

| Dr_Willis | Ronuken: seems the bug is being worked on.. its possible a fix may be out in the next few days.. (hard to tell how long this stuff will take) | 23:06 |
| fizyplankton | Dr_Willis: because chrome runs as me, i want it to have no access to the folder, so it cant auto delete it. i tried chmod 500, but it still ran as me. so this way, i have to log into root to see it, but the folder lasts. however, its empty | 23:07 |

| ActionParsnip | meco: does the transgui show all downloads? | 23:09 |
| fizyplankton | Dr_Willis: other people have it work, but i dont know if they were on linux, so the theme may not be intended to be run on linux. also, "ugly theme"? i have quadruple monitors, and my screensaver is the glmatrix one, which if youv seen the movie, is a PERFECT fit | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | fizyplankton: its still an ugly eyesore. | 23:10 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: I don't get that. Why would I need to install another app? | 23:10 |
| engstad | What's the best way these days to set up the xorg server these days? | 23:10 |
| engstad | From cmd line. | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: because it connects to the web service and may display different things, it's only to test and is a small app | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | engstad: there is no single best way to do anything | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: normally theres not much to setup. it should auto configure for the most part. | 23:11 |
| Ronuken | ActionParsnip: I got the dongle free from the cable guy when he setup my cable box | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronuken: could try ndiswrapper + windows driver | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: whats your video chipset? | 23:11 |
| engstad | Could I just delete the xorg.conf file? | 23:11 |
| engstad | nv28 | 23:11 |
| fizyplankton | engstad: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.before_i_screwed_it_up; sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | engstad: renaming is much less destructive | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: many systems dont have an xorg.conf any more. :) | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: for nvidia. I instll the nvidia drivers, reboot, run nvidia-settings and tweak it how i want. | 23:12 |
| engstad | So, there's no 'Xsetup' or sthg? | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: hasent really been an Xsetup thinggie for ages.. | 23:12 |
| engstad | I don't think nv28 is supported by nv binary drivers anymore. | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | some live cds/mini disrtos have some x wizards. but thats often for support of VERY old hardware | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | engstad: then it should be using the built in drivers. and not even need an xorg.conf | 23:13 |
| fizyplankton | engstad: you shouldnt need to manually config the xorg file, unless you have some wacky video config like me, having 4 monitors | 23:13 |
| engstad | It complains about not finding the screen. | 23:13 |
| fizyplankton | engstad: is it in the ugly failsafe mode when it does that? | 23:13 |

| meco | ActionParsnip: trangui only shows that one torrent I added now | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | scietnes: theres the boot-repair tool you can use from a live cd/gui that can automate it. | 23:14 |
| engstad | yes | 23:14 |
| engstad | ugly, and I can't use the mouse nor keyboard. | 23:14 |
| fizyplankton | engstad: is it a fresh install of ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| scietnes | Dr_Willis: will it fix a 64-bit system from a 32-bit cd? | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: not sure then dude, very strange. What is the output of: apt-cache policy transmission; lsb_release -a please use a pastebin | 23:15 |
| engstad | It's an old system, apparently 'hal' deleted 'xserver-xorg'./ | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | scietnes: no idea. I only use 64bit. I think there is a boot-repair live-cd that does both types. | 23:15 |
| engstad | Is it: dpkg --reinstall xserver-xorg ? | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !hal | 23:16 |
| fizyplankton | engstad: make sure to ping me before you type your message (type fizy then push tab). also, is the install fresh? | 23:16 |

| Maccer | I can understand why debian is compiled for i386, but why isn't ubuntu compiled in i686 already? Processors from 1995+ already use this instruction set. This could mean reduced binary size and faster speed potentially. | 23:24 |
| escott | poopiepants_mcge, any required environment variables | 23:24 |
| Super8 | Any help please? | 23:24 |
| fizyplankton | !ndiswrapper | rgates414 | 23:24 |
| ubottu | rgates414: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:24 |
| escott | Maccer, it is actually i686 | 23:25 |
| * Maccer scratches his head | 23:25 | |
| Maccer | What about xubuntu then? | 23:25 |
| rgates414 | Understood.. this is not the forum you're looking for... | 23:25 |
| poopiepants_mcge | escott: Not sure. Maybe I can echo the current directory to see that it's set properly | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | 'pwd' => prints working directory | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: could try 2.6 https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Maccer: i386 to i586 are dropped from the kernel, only i686 and above will work | 23:26 |
| Super8 | ANYONE CAN HELP? | 23:26 |
| Maccer | Yup, xubuntu is in i386 apparently. | 23:27 |
| Maccer | Sad... | 23:27 |
| Super8 | Maccer Can ya help me please? | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | Super8, i never saw you ask asn actual question..... | 23:27 |
| Super8 | I did. | 23:27 |
| Super8 | [02:23] <rgates414> lmao, thanks. | 23:27 |
| Super8 | [02:23] <Super8> How can I install Ubuntu on Android? | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Maccer: since maverick apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu | 23:27 |
| Super8 | Dr_willis [02:23] <Super8> How can I install Ubuntu on Android? | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | Super8, Theres Ubuntu/Linux things in the android market that let you install a Ubuntu VM in android. | 23:28 |
| poopiepants_mcge | escott: Looks like it's set just fine... I wonder wtf could be happening :( | 23:28 |
| designbybeck | I need to free up space, I have a split harddrive Ubuntu and Kubuntu What is the best way to partition the drive and give all the rest of the space to Ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| Super8 | Dr_willis What is the app name s? | 23:28 |
| engstad | Super8: Check the market. Also, just google it. :-) | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | Super8, no idea. use the search feature | 23:28 |
| designbybeck | Or is there a way? | 23:28 |
| Super8 | All what i found is ubuntu cloud. | 23:28 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: Done | 23:29 |

| uskerine | hi, does anyone know how to install "bonita open solution" ni ubuntu 12.04 | 23:30 |
| Super8 | Dr_willis How can I root it? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sakax: you can use top, or press ALT+F2 and run: xkill and click what you want to kill | 23:30 |
| uskerine | hi, does anyone know how to install "bonita open solution" in ubuntu 12.04? | 23:30 |

| _Tristan | I have ubuntu 12.04 with gnome 3 and I'm unable to install window themes. I got the latest elementary theme (gnome 3.4, same as what I have) and I tried to install it with ubuntu tweak, extracted it to ~/.themes and /usr/share/themes. Appearence doesn't list it as a theme, and ubuntu-tweak will only change the gtk theme, not the window theme. Help plz? | 23:30 |
| mophead | ubuntu is suddenly telling me there's no space on my disk. I don't have any large files on this machine. What can I erase? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | fizyplankton: why not: killall APP_NAME | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: you can check with: df -h | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis | Super8, time to hit up the android support channels and forums. | 23:31 |
| _Tristan | mophead: or disk usage analyzer, if you're cli-aphobic | 23:31 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: Why did I add that PPA? | 23:31 |
| mophead | "df: no file systems processed" | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: to get a newer transmission | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: not a good sign | 23:32 |
| fizyplankton | ActionParsnip: because the internal appname is often different than the given name. for example, gnome-system-monitor is different than system\ monitor | 23:32 |
| mophead | what do I doo? | 23:32 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: A newer transmission-deamon? I don't need another transmission-gtk... | 23:33 |
| Dr_willis | _Tristan, theres a guide on the webupd8 blog site on setting up new themes., they also have some very nice ones in their PPA. | 23:33 |
| _Tristan | Dr_willis: I've also tried getting themes from webupd8's ppa, following their instructions | 23:34 |
| Dr_willis | _Tristan, i would guess you are missing a step them. | 23:34 |
| fizyplankton | i once had so many files, that i couldnt delete any files because there wasnt enough room to write the log files of me deleting the files | 23:34 |
| _Tristan | there don't seem to be that many steps to miss | 23:34 |
| meco | ActionParsnip: transmission-daemon is already the newest version. | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | meco: gah | 23:35 |
| sakax | thanks i prefer killall | 23:35 |
| _Tristan | Dr_willis: for example, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/07/elegance-colors-gnome-shell-theme-gets.html there are three commands to run, very self-explanatory, I run elegance-colors and nothing happens | 23:36 |
| designbybeck | Here is what my df looks like, I'm trying to delete sda1 and merge/give the rest of its space to sda6! Is that possible?! | 23:36 |
| designbybeck | Or do I have to do the whole system over? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1094075/ | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/5-nice-gnome-34-themes-ubuntu-ppa.html | 23:36 |
| _Tristan | I'll try one of these | 23:37 |
| poopiepants_mcge | ermph | 23:37 |
| poopiepants_mcge | This init.d stuff is irritating me to thecore | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | poopiepants_mcge, lucky for you Upstart is replaceing it. :) slowly... | 23:38 |
| mophead | does anyone know what to do about "df: no file systems processed"? | 23:38 |
| fizyplankton | designbybeck: it is possible, but dangerous. back up any important files, then boot from a live cd, go to system>admin>garted. then click sda1 and click delete. then click sda5(5 not 6) and click "resize/move" and drag the box as big as it will go to the left. repeat for sda6. then click the green check mark, then wait a few hours for it to finish | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | You can merge a Primary partion into an Logical? I thought you had to do it in 2+ steps.. | 23:39 |
| Guest94154 | Boa Noite! | 23:39 |
| poopiepants_mcge | Dr_willis: I just want me process to write to a god damn file.... somehow something ismaking that impossible :( | 23:39 |
| designbybeck | HMmmm.. Ok fizyplankton Thank you, I have already backed up my files so that is good | 23:39 |
| poopiepants_mcge | my process* | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | but what if sda1 and sda6 are not adjacent to each other. | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: if you boot to liveCD it should show the output ok there (if you get no other reply) | 23:39 |
| fizyplankton | designbybeck: i meant sda4 instead of sda5 | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: if you have low space you could remove excess kernels | 23:40 |
| _Tristan | Dr_willis: I installed gnomishgray, and again, the gtk theme can be enabled via ubuntu-tweak but the window theme doesn't change | 23:40 |
| mophead | what excess kernels? | 23:40 |
| designbybeck | does it matter what distro I do that with fizyplankton? | 23:40 |
| fizyplankton | designbybeck: i would reccomend ubuntu, as it comes with gparted, but you dont have to. also, are there any other partions on sda? | 23:41 |
| mophead | ActionParsnip : I have no idea whether I actually have low disk space. If so, I don't know what to safely remove. | 23:41 |
| designbybeck | i'm not sure | 23:41 |
| designbybeck | this doesn't say? fizyplankton? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1094075/ | 23:42 |
| fizyplankton | designbybeck: are you okay if i teamviewer into your machine to look? i wont change anything (infact i cant change anything) | 23:42 |

| Goldenscorp | i have pb : kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0 0 ??? | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: run: uname -a you will see the running kernel. If you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image you will see the installed kernels. You can remove the installed kernels but NOT the running kernel or the package without the version numbers (the metapackage). This saves about 120Mb per kernel :) | 23:46 |
| MrSpocks | 8) | 23:47 |
| mophead | ActionParsnip : how would I go about removing them? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: use apt-get or software centre | 23:49 |
| mophead | so sudo apt-get remove... what? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-numbershere | 23:50 |
| mophead | It tells me "E: Unable to synchronize mmap - msync (28: No space left on device)" | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | mophead | 23:52 |
| ubottu | mophead: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:52 |
| mophead | so I should do that force reboot thing? | 23:53 |
