[00:01] <OpenDECIO> What's the best option to create a liveUSB of OpenSUSE on UBUNTU?
[00:02] <OpenDECIO> OpenSUSE 12.2 RC that is
[00:02] <MonkeyDust> OpenDECIO  unetbootin is popular
[00:02] <OpenDECIO> Thanks MonkeyDust
[00:04] <pckchem> Totally #offtopic, but holy shit, they are making new eps of Arrested Development for netflix. Excuse me while I stalk ron howard's twitter.
[00:05] <MonkeyDust> pckchem  what was that last factoid you typed?
[00:07] <h00k> ubottu: tell pckchem about offtopic
[00:07] <h00k> also, pckchem, watch the language.
[00:07] <IdleOne> pckchem: please keep the off topic in #ubuntu-offtopic and also watch your language
[00:09] <Lil> It's beer:30 somewhere!
[00:10] <compu> ??
[00:10] <compu> um hello
[00:10] <compu> who do i ask for help?
[00:11] <Lil> compu; The channel..
[00:11] <Lil> compu; Whoever can help will chime in
[00:12] <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: ...?
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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?
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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.
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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> :)
[00:29] <shawnboy> gsr: Thanks. I will try that now.
[00:30] <compu> im gonna try logging out and logging back in
[00:30] <compu> bai
[00:30] <BlouBlou> swwssssfghhyherñp
[00:30] <BlouBlou> fefef
[00:33] <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?
[00:35] <IdleOne> !usb | kibbly
[00:36] <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.
[00:37] <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....
[00:38] <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.
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <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?
[00:41] <IdleOne> kibbly: exactly
[00:41] <kibbly> I'm stuck here for three weeks without anything except an iPad... I'm dying
[00:42] <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.
[00:43] <kibbly> oh
[00:44] <IdleOne> kibbly: Well you need to install the tool so you can use it to create the bootable USB
[00:47] <kibbly> Would it be easier and less invasive on this system, if I did a CDR then installed from the CD to USB?
[00:48] <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.
[00:51] <Guest25382> anyone here know jose rizal?
[00:51] <Linix> #suse isn't responding... I created a LiveUSB of OpenSUSE 12.2 RC1 with UNetBootin on Ubuntu. When I tried to boot to the usb it said this: No Kernel image found: "something..." What do I do?
[00:52] <volti> got a vbox headless server, cant seem to connect to the rdesktop session, is there a trick
[00:52] <volti> >
[00:52] <volti> ?
[00:53] <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?
[00:54] <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
[00:56] <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
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <shawnboy> escott, after replugged.
[00:59] <escott> shawnboy, want to see it from before
[01:00] <shawnboy> escott, okay, will reboot now, run lsmod, jump back to irc.
[01:03] <bio0000> hey all
[01:03] <bio0000> im having trouble with the compizconfig 3d desktop
[01:04] <volti> Mattias: i got it, i was missing the virtualbox manager extension pack, err Such a noob error...
[01:05] <bio0000> my desktop comes out like this

[01:12] <RobBennett> Here's the deal. I have $32 dollars that I am going to pay to get to the maximum amount of free dropbox space. I get an extra 500mb for each person who signs up using my referral link(below). Dropbox tells me what email you use to sign up with when I get credit for the referral. If you successfully sign up, I will send $1 via paypal to that email address. Here is what you have to do:  1. go to http://db.tt/s5UJRt2P 2. Sign up using 
[01:12] <RobBennett> in a fake I get no space and you get no cash. 3. You must download and install the dropbox app, it is just a few mbs. 4. Sync ONE file-can be anything. create a random .txt file or stick a photo in there or something.  That's it. I'll get notice within a day or two and will promptly send out payment. This is no scam.  I need about 13gb of dropbox space and paying you all to do this once is a lot cheaper than paying $10/month in the

[01:12] <h00k> RobBennett: please go elsewhere.
[01:14] <shawnboy> escott, wd passport not showing up. lsmod results are at http://pastebin.com/2D0jwXej
[01:16] <silverarrow> does gnash or lightspark ever work?
[01:16] <escott> shawnboy, try sudo modprobe usb_storage (doubt it will do anything but worth a shot
[01:17] <questionablenons> i know this is the ubuntu chatroom but its the most active and maybe someone can help me out
[01:17] <xangua> silverarrow: well if you want to see All flash content better stick with adobe plugin
[01:17] <silverarrow> I have had ubuntu on several laptops, but always end up with adobe
[01:17] <questionablenons> i have a question, my neighbors computer is a windows 7 computer and everything on it is set to open up a document file, say you want to go to the internet, it will popup a notepad document with a bunch of mumbo jumbo on it
[01:17] <h00k> !windows | questionablenons
[01:18] <questionablenons> no one is in windows ubottu
[01:18] <shawnboy> escott, no results
[01:18] <silverarrow> xangua: that is the problem
[01:18] <escott> shawnboy, it doesnt show up now?
[01:19] <silverarrow> xangua: ubuntu on powerpc somehow resists all adobe
[01:19] <h00k> questionablenons: Your question is not regarding Ubuntu, it's regarding Windows 7, so please go to the Windows channel to discuss it
[01:20] <shawnboy> escott, nope, it doesn't show up. Incidentally, when usb drive is plugged in at boot time, boot time doubles or triples.
[01:20] <silverarrow> xangua: gnash doesn`t even stream what it is suppose to
[01:20] <questionablenons> h00k, no one is answering it -.- and I figured someon HAS to know about it some how in here
[01:20] <escott> shawnboy, boot time after the kernel is started?
[01:20] <Dr_willis> there is a 'flashreplaceer' extension silverarrow  for firefox that can make flash videos play with VLC or Mplayer, or totem. No idea if it works on PPC..
[01:21] <silverarrow> Dr_willis: yes it works for youtube
[01:22] <Dr_willis> good luck. Night all..
[01:22] <shawnboy> escott, have black screen for a long time before purple background shows up. also using usb lenovo remote keyboard/trackball. Wonder if that creates conflict.
[01:22] <silverarrow> ppc users are left haning
[01:23] <silverarrow> hanging*
[01:23] <silverarrow> to sort things out by them selves
[01:23] <silverarrow> which is so difficult
[01:24] <escott> shawnboy, i would suspect that the bios is trying to boot the usb and is really slow to scan the bus. perhaps the bios is also buggy and is failing to release it so that it doesn't reinitialize when the kernel comes up. remove usb from our boot order
[01:25] <shawnboy> escott, good idea. will try. thanks for help so far. if you're still here, i'll let you know what happens.
[01:25] <silverarrow> I`ve made a mess of my install@
[01:26] <silverarrow> I have to do it all over again
[01:26] <silverarrow> with all the plugins to make gnash and lightspark stream
[01:26] <silverarrow> nothing streams in browser
[01:29] <oscarvarto> I have a CUDA-enabled GPU and want to install Ubuntu. Are there any problems with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? Do I have to use a previous version? (11.04 for example?)
[01:29] <h00k> questionablenons: that still doesn't make it supported in here
[01:36] <olio> how to resume a process that suspend ?
[01:38] <BlackBass> I am moving from Windows to Linux completely. But I am looking for the equivalent to alot of the software I use. I do a lot of Video/Audio/Graphical Editing and some Web Design. I am looking for the Linux Equivalents to the following windows software: Acrobat (PDF Reader), After Effects (Post-production Video Editor), Audition (Simple Audio Recorder and Editor), Encore (Fully Featured DVD Authoring), Fireworks (Designing Graphics for Web),
[01:38] <BlackBass>  InDesign (Publication Creator), Premiere Pro (Time-line based Video editing), Autohotkey (Macro and hotkey creation), Eraser (Secure Data wiping), FL Studio (Beat Sequencer and Audio Editing), Format Factory (Format Conversion), Logitech SetPoint (Advanced Mouse Features and Extra Button Support), Pandaora Recovery (Recover Deletes Files), PowerISO (Creation and Manipulation of image files and disks), Sound Forge (Audacity on steriods. Ad
[01:38] <BlackBass> vanced Audio Editing), Team Viewer (VNC), Vegas Pro (NLE Video Editing)
[01:39] <W4sp> olio: you can toggle the process with fg and bg
[01:40] <W4sp> fg gets it back so you can manipulate it.
[01:41] <escott> BlackBass, evince for pdf reader. for macros people just right scripts. for file recovery make good backups. secure file deletion is also tricky, but there are tools like shred
[01:41] <h00k> BlackBass: something like http://www.linuxalt.com/ may help you, there's a lot of software already installed that can do some of these things
[01:42] <olio> W4sp: i'm have process clive [ cli based you tube downloder ] .It suspended becuase i'm  disconnected from internet becuase of some reason .I want it to resume .Can you tell me how to do that ?
[01:43] <BlackBass> escott, Hmm, my current biggest problem is that my mouse has 13 extra buttons. Under windows I have them all configured for certain tasks (Change DPI, Save file, Open Win+Tab, Start Menu, etc), how would I get this under Linux?
[01:43] <shawnboy> escott, You must be some sort of genius. It worked. I disabled usb storage in the boot options of BIOS.
[01:44] <BlackBass> h00k, I'll check it out :p
[01:44] <escott> shawnboy, speculation pure speculation
[01:44] <W4sp> BlackBass: There's a solution for it. What will be your future window manager be?
[01:45] <escott> BlackBass, verify in xev that those buttons send events. but then presumably you could do something with xbindkeys
[01:46] <BlackBass> Mutter, I am not new to linux. I've ran Arch for years on my personal PC. But now I'm making the switch for work after seeing windows 8.
[01:46] <shawnboy> escott, So, if I have two usb drives and want to boot from one, not the other, I basically am out of luck thanks to buggy BIOS?
[01:46] <BlackBass> I am using Ubuntu with Unity fully removed and Gnome 3 completely integrated.
[01:46] <escott> olio, send it sigcont
[01:47] <BlackBass> I could easily switch the WM to compiz if that would make anything easier.
[01:47] <W4sp> BlackBass: Some WM can not more than sice, Fvwm can 15, for instance.
[01:47] <escott> olio, kill -SIGCONT ###
[01:47] <escott> shawnboy, sounds like it
[01:47] <escott> shawnboy, if you have multiple controllers try to put it on a different bus/controller. maybe it keeps the one bus up so that it can pass it to grub, and will take down the other
[01:48] <shawnboy> escott, Thanks a ton for your help. Couldn't have done it without you.
[01:48] <BlackBass> W4sp, Excuse me? I don't think I understand what your saying
[01:49] <olio> escott: i replace ### with ps of clive then ?
[01:49] <escott> olio, yes with the PID
[01:49] <olio> escott: done then
[01:49] <BlackBass> escott, xbindkeys Hmm... Is that able to remap keys ? (Mouse button to meta-key) or even execute bash scripts upon press of a key?
[01:50] <W4sp> BlackBass: Sorry The're a speller. I meant to say that some can not more than six buttons. Fvwm can up to 15. Sorry.
[01:50] <escott> BlackBass, i dont know what all it can do
[01:50] <BlackBass> escott, Alright, Manual time aha
[01:51] <oscarvarto> BlackBass: I read that you saw Windows 8. Is it crappy?
[01:52] <BlackBass> W4sp, oscarvarto ... Its in Release beta? I've used the darn thing. Here, I'll sum it up. Ever used a windows phone? Make it the size of your screen and try and use it with a mouse and keyboard.
[01:52] <BlackBass> OT but, oscarvarto, here https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=windows+8
[01:54] <oscarvarto> BlackBass: I haven't used Windows for a years… (I don't like it). I used Arch Linux for a while and then I bought a Mac. Windows sucks… (IMHO)
[01:54] <olio> escott: don't work
[01:55] <escott> olio, how did you suspend it
[01:55] <olio> escott: just disconnected from my internet accidently
[01:55] <darnam>  hello everyone - I love ubuntu, especially the look and feel of the cinnamon environment... but every time I boot with cinnamon, my rig completely freezes up in the middle of something (not app dependant) and I can't seem to get the de to reset itself. 1st - Has anyone else had this problem?  2nd - Are there any solutions to this problem? 3rd - how does one force a manual reset of the desktop environment when everything else has frozen up. (often times
[01:55] <darnam>  my mouse cursor is unaffected during freezups)  Thanks ahead of time - I like having the ability to switch de depending on who is using my comp and so installing mint on another partition would be a bit of a hassle in file management.
[01:56] <escott> olio, then its probably stuck on io
[01:57] <olio> escott: so , what to do now  ?
[01:57] <escott> olio, doubt there is anything you can do
[01:57] <darnam> unity, gnome and other ones work perfectly with 1% failure rate
[01:57] <darnam> or less
[01:57] <h00k> darnam: cinnamon isn't supported here, perhaps check the mint channell
[01:58] <darnam> sure
[01:58] <h00k> !channel
[01:58] <olio> escott: : (   , my movie .
[01:58] <darnam> will head that way - thanks
[01:58] <h00k> ubottu: mint | darnam
[01:58] <darnam> kk - will do
[01:59] <darnam> does my machine make it mint when I install cinnamon?
[01:59] <darnam> ok thanks - ill head that way
[02:00] <silverarrow> anyone have an old ibook?
[02:01] <silverarrow> noone?
[02:01] <silverarrow> might be in a back of a closet but...
[02:02] <Debolaz> How can I easily determine if I'm running Unity or Unity-2D without relogging?
[02:02] <Elv13> Debolaz: the 'ps' command
[02:02] <Elv13> or check the ammount of bluring/tranparency, the 2D version have a lot les sof it
[02:04] <BlackBass> Alright. After a bit of digging, I'm still looking for equivalents too Encore (Fully Featured DVD Authoring), InDesign (Publication Creator), Premiere Pro (Time-line based Video editing), Format Factory (Format Conversion), Pandaora Recovery (Recover Deletes Files), PowerISO (Creation and Manipulation of image files and disks), Team Viewer (VNC)
[02:04] <BlackBass> \to:*
[02:04] <escott> !vnc | BlackBass
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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.
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <Lil> escott, How would I do that?
[02:09] <BlackBass> Lil, did you reinstall grub2 recently?
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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?
[02:12] <[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
[02:13] <arand> [snake]: There's a difference between vim-tiny (default) and proper vim.
[02:14] <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.
[02:15] <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
[02:16] <W4sp> !packages
[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.
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <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.
[02:20] <[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
[02:21] <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)
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <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] <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
[02:24] <millertime> but i'm not sure, maybe
[02:24] <millertime> !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
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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 :(
[02:28] <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..
[02:29] <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'?
[02:30] <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.
[02:31] <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
[02:32] <olio> how to paste image here ?
[02:32] <|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/
[02:33] <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.
[02:34] <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.
[02:35] <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] <HiddenKnowledge> millertime: Good luck. :)
[02:35] <qw12> whta power save options are there ?
[02:35] <millertime> I think I'll do that :-)
[02:35] <millertime> Thanks HiddenKnowledge!

[02:36] <olio> paste image how ?
[02:36] <millertime> thanks again guys
[02:36] <qw12> bazhang: Lil  ?
[02:36] <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 ?
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <bazhang> qw12, so why are you asking, whats the specific issue you need help with
[02:38] <qw12> bazhang: i wnat to figure how to save the power max
[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
[02:39] <Lil> bazhang, Holding shift doesn't seem to work?
[02:39] <zorg24> L3top, oh gosh sometimes I hate pulse
[02:41] <zorg24> L3top, no asound.conf also it said "Installed: (none)"
[02:43] <subhadip> Hi,
[02:43] <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?
[02:45] <olio> how to paste image here ?
[02:45] <hwkiller-netbook> you don't
[02:45] <subhadip> upload somewhere and post the link
[02:45] <hwkiller-netbook> use imgur and link us
[02:46] <bazhang> !pastebin | olio
[02:46] <zorg24> olio, use imgur and give us a link
[02:48] <olio> zorg24: check this one http://imagebin.org/220820
[02:48] <zorg24> L3top, oh good news not sure what did it but hdmi/displayport just showed up as a sound out option. and it works!
[02:49] <zorg24> olio, I have no clue what you need help with?
[02:49] <L3top> yeah... that will probably go away after reboot zorg24. asound.conf is a file in /etc/ and probably doesnt exist due to pulse.
[02:50] <zorg24> L3top, oh what fun
[02:50] <olio> zorg24: i don't know how to install this package .It contain lot of cpp and .h filess in it .i'm newbie
[02:51] <zorg24> olio, is there not a compiled version?
[02:51] <delac> olio: sudo apt-get install ultracopier
[02:52] <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 ******)
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <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 ,
[02:55] <zorg24> olio, then use sudo apt-get install
[02:56] <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".
[02:57] <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...
[02:58] <delac> olio: sorry, but I dont have time to give a lecture about compiling. That would take hours. :)
[02:59] <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.
[03:00] <zorg24> L3top, now the top of the screen isn't overscanning
[03:00] <L3top> bottom and sides?
[03:01] <zorg24> L3top, bottom looks fine, but sides are still overscanning
[03:02] <olio> delac : how to find right target file for make ?
[03:02] <L3top> great... one moment zorg24
[03:02] <bazhang> olio, what are you trying to compile
[03:02] <gmachine_24> Can I use 'shred' to overwrite a folder and everything inside that folder - which includes a number of files and also some folders which have files in them?? Can I do this recursively?
[03:02] <JenniferB2> does xubuntu come with unity ? ( i dont want it if so =
[03:02] <JenniferB2> )
[03:02] <olio> bazhang : http://imagebin.org/220820
[03:03] <delac> olio: the README file might have some compile instructions. Look there.
[03:03] <bazhang> olio, whats the package name
[03:03] <olio> bazhang : ultracopy
[03:04] <bazhang> olio, its in the repos
[03:04] <bazhang> olio, sudo apt-get install ultracopier
[03:05] <craigbass1976> JenniferB2, no.  Grab a Xubuntu iso so you get a fresh start and you're golden
[03:05] <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.
[03:06] <bazhang> !compile | olio actually read the links given to you
[03:06] <olio> bazhang: done ! and read ,what have you given to me
[03:06] <olio> bazhang:  now !
[03:07] <bazhang> olio, install build-essential , as I just said. then read the installer readme or what have you. there is no reason to compile when its in the repos. read the installer documents carefully, and good luck
[03:08] <BDP> can anyone help me with getting my blutooth to work on my laptop?
[03:09] <L3top> ok zorg24. I think I got this worked out. xrandr --rmmode 1280x720_60.00       then  xrandr --delmode HDMI1 1280x720_60.00

[03:10] <zorg24> L3top, the first one gave me an error http://bpaste.net/show/Ow7FdMPgi7OyySbFEC9X/
[03:10] <L3top> second?
[03:11] <usr13_> olio: Have you ever heard the phrase, "reinvinting the wheel"?  Does it ring a bell?

[03:12] <zorg24> L3top, more errors!!! http://bpaste.net/show/NBR2zLm3inP0ypqEoEyA/
[03:12] <usr13_> olio: There are several reasons to install packages via the package manager.  When you don't do it that way, one will wonder why you bothered to choose Ubuntu.
[03:13] <olio> usr13_:  heared but phrases haven't implemented in real life .If you want to start a journey then you need start from basics .B2B !
[03:13] <L3top> zorg24: http://bpaste.net/show/9YIBiS8ysifnr6uM7w1z/          If we can get rid of what we did already... I think this will work. Please give me the output of xrandr -q again
[03:13] <usr13_> olio: Ok, just trying to lend some friendly advise.
[03:14] <hwkiller-netbook> olio, are you trying to learn how to roll a package or what?
[03:14] <zorg24> L3top, run the stuff in the pastebin just like I did the first time?
[03:15] <L3top> zorg24: we need to get rid of the one which already exists first. I need xrandr -q first. I was just getting you ready.
[03:16] <zorg24> L3top, oh ok http://bpaste.net/show/AibWqfSkwM7yHAAUDO6z/
[03:18] <L3top> zorg24: please run the rmmod and delmode again with sudo
[03:19] <zorg24> L3top, same errors
[03:21] <Brombomb> Is there a way to find what caused a segmentation fault?
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <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.
[03:24] <Aptar> hylian, When attempting to open the program the error is "Internal errors - invalid parameters received"
[03:25] <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..
[03:26] <hylian> Aptar: you know, never had that problem, let me see if I can find it, brb...
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <hylian> Aptar: what program are you trying to install?

[03:29] <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.
[03:29] <zorg24> L3top, also its mirroring the screen instead of acting as a second monitor if that matters at all
[03:29] <souliaq>  Someone knows about of the Strigi Desktop Search?
[03:30] <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...
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <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] <spjt> is there any way to make the top bar not as large
[03:33] <Aptar> hylian, I have also attempted to install Itunes and it doesn't work either..
[03:33] <zorg24> L3top, its overscanning again
[03:33] <zorg24> L3top, also the colors look sort of washed out
[03:34] <danes> hello, my sound card is not working. I have headphones connected to the audio jack but it looks like the mother board is not sending the audio to the jack on the back panel of the pc. How can I make the sound card to send audio on the back of the pc and on the frontal audio jack?
[03:34] <zorg24> L3top, the color wasn't like this when in mirror but it was before the reboot
[03:34] <L3top> reboot zorg24  remove the hdmi this time... connect when it comes back.
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <hylian> Aptar: iTunes is known to have problems with wine... I would check out winehq's info on that. just type winehq itunes into a search engine like google.
[03:37] <zorg24|evo> L3top same old over scanning
[03:37] <zorg24|evo> L3top same old over scanning
[03:37] <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.
[03:37] <danes> how can i adjust the audio settings to send music trough the frontal and rear audio jacks?
[03:38] <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] <Aptar> hylian, Thank you
[03:38] <danes> I am seeing this error when I do a sudo apt-get update:  Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[03:38] <Aptar> hylian, I appreciate your time looking this up for me.
[03:39] <hylian> Aptar: No problem. we help each other here. :)
[03:39] <L3top> I am trying now to get rid of the color wash. I am figuring this out as we go, using you as a guinea pig. Understanding how all of this works is not particularly intuitive zorg24|evo so... please bare with me. If you are too busy to go through this process. I will understand.
[03:39] <zorg24> L3top, so now what?
[03:39] <zorg24> oh ok I
[03:40] <zorg24> I'm fine with being a guinea pig L3top
[03:40] <zorg24> I have nothing else I need to do
[03:42] <hylian> just curious if anyone else had the "my machine decided to display chinese instead of english" problem...
[03:42] <zorg24> oh and btw L3top the hdmi sound out seems to be persisting through restarts :)
[03:43] <HelloWorld321> I'm in Ubuntu.  I've used the phpmyadmin/setup to create config.inc.php.  Where do I put it?
[03:43] <L3top> so strange how speaker test kicks that open zorg24...
[03:43] <zorg24> L3top, ya that seems weird but its all that logically could have done it
[03:44] <mdel> hey all... having a hell of a time getting this Geforce 6600LE working with the proprietary drivers...
[03:44] <L3top> It is not the first time this has been reported to me zorg24.
[03:44] <mdel> i installed the swat-x ppa and updated everything to the latest version
[03:44] <mdel> but I can't get the driver activated
[03:44] <zorg24> its probably pulse audio being wacky
[03:45] <mdel> modprobe nvidia = no such device
[03:45] <mdel> can't figure that one out...

[03:48] <zamn> hey when i plug speakers into my laptop for some reason ubuntu thinks that they're headphones and im not getting any sound out of them.. :o. How can I go about fixing this?
[03:48] <hylian> HelloWorld321: well, I appreciate it, but to be honest, I have no clues about how to use php, and am at best just a good googl'er... :)
[03:49] <mdel> here's my Xorg log, hopefully someone can take a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092580/
[03:49] <L3top> zorg24. I think I am doing this wrong... but I think this will work. http://bpaste.net/show/qBoeuXx7jgFOTL9HFkyn/                 I would like to try what I think is the right way when you are done with that, after another reboot if you dont mind.
[03:49] <mdel> i've been on this for a few days, with little progress
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <hwkiller-netbook> mdel, were you the one I was helping the other day?
[03:50] <mdel> yup :)
[03:50] <mdel> no luck
[03:50] <hylian> zamn: hmm, let me see what i can find on this, that's a new one.. while I am searching, if you can open terminal (control alt t) and type 'alsamixer' without the ' markes, then maybe you can get some insight
[03:51] <mimi_> after install and update of ubuntu 12.04, wireless internet runs really slow. ...I'm sure you're all familiar with it?  Is there any known fix?  have tried various suggestions following google searches
[03:52] <Mandalord> mimi_: Your country/ISP support IPv6? Disable it
[03:52] <zamn> hylian: ok i have that open
[03:52] <L3top> This is a common problem hylian and zamn. It should be pretty well documented for a workaround.
[03:52] <mdel> hwkiller-netbook: 1 sec for kernel log - just saw something interesting
[03:52] <zorg24> L3top, didnt work :(
[03:52] <olio> is there any channel for voice / face recognisation ?
[03:52] <mdel> hwkiller-netbook: http://pastie.org/4258839
[03:52] <hylian> zamn: ok, anything unusual about the setup here?
[03:52] <L3top> zorg24 did it change at all?
[03:52] <zorg24> top is fixed
[03:52] <zamn> L3top: do you have a link?
[03:52] <mimi_> Mandalord, am in Australia. Most people say they have no success with disabling IPv6 ...should try I guess
[03:53] <zorg24> L3top, top is fixed
[03:53] <zamn> hylian: looks like L3top has seen this before, but no nothing unusual.
[03:53] <mdel> i have the latest bios installed for this machine (dell optiplex 320)
[03:53] <L3top> I do not zamn. Sorry.  I am in the middle of something sort of complicated with zorg24. If you have not found the solution by the time we finish, I will figure it out.
[03:54] <mdel> went through hell installing it lol
[03:54] <hylian> L3top: any ideas? I have heard of people intentionally switching speakers for mic and vice versa, but never have I heard of it happening on it's own...
[03:54] <mimi_> Mandalord, ...can't really say I know what IPv6 is or what it's for, but can always re enable it again if needed I guess...
[03:54] <mimi_> will see how it goes....
[03:54] <zorg24> L3top, so reboot?
[03:54] <mdel> mimi_: you don't need it just yet
[03:54] <zamn> L3top: ok, thanks
[03:54] <L3top> please zorg24.
[03:54] <mdel> mimi_: you will someday :)
[03:54] <Mandalord> mimi_: Is your internet slow only when wireless, and normal when wired?
[03:54] <hylian> zamn: when you hit f5, does it show anything muted, maybe auto mute..??
[03:54] <zorg24> L3top, w/o the hdmi cable in?
[03:55] <L3top> I would say so, to prevent that mirror mode thing zorg24
[03:55] <zamn> hylian: f5 doesnt do anything
[03:55] <zorg24> kk
[03:55] <zamn> hylian: but i went into alsamixer and made speaker all the way up and that seemed to have resolved th eproblem..
[03:55] <mimi_> Mandalord,   ... :) thanks ... don't have wired. My mobile broadband is kind of ok, but the signal strenght is really weak where I am
[03:55] <zamn> hylian: my only worry is that every time i plug in my speakers iw ill have to do this :p
[03:55] <hylian> zamn: strange, f3, f4 and f5 in alsamixer are different views. f5 shows everything... maybe f3 mode already shows everything...
[03:56] <zamn> hylian: heh..didnt know you meant in alsamixer.. yeah that works fine lol
[03:56] <mimi_> Mandalord, ...do you happen to have a link to a page giving instructions on disabling IPv6 please? ...or is it pretty easy to find?
[03:56] <L3top> http://bpaste.net/show/DL3luzekzcqCwybVuPD6/ zorg24|evo
[03:56] <mimi_> Mandalord, ...sometimes it seems different people have different ways of doing things
[03:57] <hylian> zamn: i had the same problem on an eariler machine, but that was because I had both pulse audio software and alsa software installed... I am still reasearching it... hmmm.
[03:57] <braybaut> buenas noches
[03:57] <zamn> hylian: how do i check to see if I have pulseaudio?
[03:57] <L3top> I am doing small incriments zorg24|evo... so please try to note whether or not it is at all better... if it is not just magically perfect. This is complete guess work on my end.
[03:57] <zorg24|evo> L3top do that again in a sec this my phone
[03:57] <Mandalord> mimi_: I dont know if Autralia support IPv6 or not. If they dont, you should disable IPv6 and use only IPv4. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[03:58] <L3top> http://bpaste.net/show/DL3luzekzcqCwybVuPD6/ zorg24|evo
[03:58] <zorg24|evo> And that's noted
[03:58] <Mandalord> srr for slow typing:D
[03:58] <hylian> zamn: type pavucontrol into the terminal and see if anything comes up. that's the big one, there are other pulse audio software installed though...
[03:58] <zorg24|evo> Lol once I join as zorg24 please
[03:59] <braybaut> #UbuntuEs
[03:59] <zorg24> now please L3top so I can copy and paste
[03:59] <zamn> hylian: yeah, nothing popped up when i typed 'pavucontrol'
[03:59] <L3top> http://bpaste.net/show/DL3luzekzcqCwybVuPD6/ zorg24
[03:59] <braybaut> algun canal de ubuntu en español ?
[04:00] <mdel> worst feeling... researching an error and finding handfulls of unresolved forum posts :(
[04:00] <mimi_> Mandalord, thanks
[04:00] <zorg24> L3top, ok also I don't mind the slow increments I'm just watching TED talks on my phone in between tries tbh
[04:00] <hylian> zamn: what happens if you hit the f6 key while in alsamixer, does it show different sound cards?
[04:01] <Mandalord> mimi_: And here http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/disable-ipv6-if-your-internet-is.html if you feel confused with the earlier instruction
[04:01] <mdel> NVRM: The system BIOS may have misconfigured your GPU.
[04:01] <zamn> hylian: yes it does. It shows 0. HDA Intel PCH, 1. HDA Nvidia
[04:03] <arooni-mobile> any idea why when i run deluge on ubuntu 12.04 lts; my ability to load new web pages goes down the toilet?  is it my isp?  i try to access pages and i see a lot of "Google Chrome could not load the webpage because www.websitetemplatereviews.com took too long to respond"  ... ideas?
[04:03] <zorg24|evo> L3top it didn't like that now I can't switch windows
[04:04] <zorg24|evo> Also the TV is detecting no input l3top
[04:04] <hylian> zamn: hmmm, when you switch, do you have the option then for using f3, f4, and f5?
[04:04] <L3top> ok zorg24|evo. Clearly reboot
[04:05] <zorg24|evo> OK
[04:05] <zorg24> l3top oh weird disconnecting and reconnect the hdmi cable fixed that
[04:05] <zorg24> but everything is washed out and overscanning....
[04:05] <L3top> man... didnt think of that
[04:06] <olio> any working voice recognisation software except dragon ?
[04:06] <hylian> zamn: can you run this command: wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
[04:06] <L3top> they make sort of a handshake.... that probably gets corrupted doing what I am doing..
[04:06] <L3top> reboot
[04:06] <zorg24> L3top, wait does that mean reconnecting it reset it
[04:06] <jjimm> help me, I'm trying to get a tv tunner to work in ubuntu 12.04 - here the new line in dmesg, imediatly after plugging it in "usb 2-3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd", what do i do from here
[04:06] <zorg24> ok i'll reboot
[04:07] <zamn> hylian: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=adb30ad7d5bec0f564106e4e4be78904b0cd4663
[04:07] <L3top> no zorg24... it does not reset anything on the computer side... they just reestablish communication.
[04:07] <zorg24|evo> Oh
[04:08] <mdel> arooni-mobile: sounds like you have too many connections
[04:08] <arooni-mobile> mdel, i see;  reducing to how many?
[04:08] <zamn> hylian: heh, looks like pulseaudio is installed
[04:08] <mdel> arooni-mobile: settings...
[04:08] <mdel> should be clearly labeled
[04:08] <mdel> reduce outbound connections, set a maximum transfer
[04:09] <mdel> then switch to usenet :)
[04:09] <jjimm> any ideas
[04:09] <zorg24> and we're back L3top
[04:09] <L3top> I need a couple zorg24.
[04:09] <zorg24> ok
[04:10] <hylian> L3top: maybe you can make more of this than i can. this is zamn's info from his computer: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=adb30ad7d5bec0f564106e4e4be78904b0cd4663. I did notice that he is using pulse audio software and alsa mixer software simultaneuosly, perhaps this is the culprit?
[04:12] <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.
[04:13] <olio> any working voice recgnisation software ?
[04:13] <decci> How to setup LDAP on Ubuntu 10.04
[04:14] <mdel> hmm... i only get this bios memory addressing error when the nvidia kernel module is loaded... wtf is that about?
[04:14] <mdel> why would the kernel mod affect my bios? or is this message a red herring...
[04:14] <mdel> decci: I literally googled this for you... https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html
[04:14] <hylian> zamn: nvidia suggests using alsamixer to solve this problem... perhaps you already did. the best thing now is to use the machine like normal, and if the problem persists, come back here. I also would keep all the information we collected tonight, so you can point them to the info.. especially http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=adb30ad7d5bec0f564106e4e4be78904b0cd4663
[04:15] <zamn> hylian: yeah i do have sound coming out of the speakers now via alsamixer so I'm okay for now. Thanks for your help!
[04:16] <hylian> zamn: no problem, and again, if this problem persists, come back. we will keep cracking at it.
[04:16] <mdel> fffuuuuu... the only reference to fixing this issue online is updating the BIOS
[04:16] <mdel> which I already did
[04:16] <mdel> dang Dell makes some crap...
[04:18] <zamn> mdel: indeed hehe
[04:18] <hylian> goodnight all
[04:19] <mdel> i mean, it might not be crap hardware in this case
[04:19] <mdel> but I'm sure its not helping :)
[04:19] <rgates414> Any possibility an Ubuntu n00b can get some assistance???
[04:20] <rgates414> Don't all speak up at once... lol!
[04:20] <zorg24> rgates414, with what?
[04:20] <mdel> hmm... should I even venture down the path of manually installing nvidia drivers...
[04:21] <mdel> im inclined not to, but I'm curious
[04:21] <rgates414> Having trouble getting Ubuntu to recognize my wireless card on a Dell Studio 1536...
[04:21] <L3top> zorg24: http://bpaste.net/show/REcIDJo2UBPYxWLNukhO/
[04:22] <zorg24> oh gosh when the wifi on my laptop didn't work I tried everything nothing worked
[04:22] <zorg24> than I reinstalled ubuntu and like magic it worked
[04:22] <mdel> ndiswrapper :(
[04:22] <zorg24> also I shouldn't help you as I'll be doing lots of rebooting
[04:22] <L3top> rgates414: what is the wireless card?
[04:22] <hwkiller-netbook> one should never have to use ndiswrapper in the modern day
[04:22] <mdel> i know
[04:23] <mdel> im just recounting my time spent with it
[04:23] <mdel> with chagrin
[04:23] <hwkiller-netbook> the most problematic wireless card is broadcom
[04:23] <hwkiller-netbook> and at least that's getting easier
[04:24] <rgates414> Dell Wireless 1510 Miniicard
[04:24] <L3top> rgates414: lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)'
[04:24] <zorg24> L3top, now its to far down and to far to the left
[04:24] <zorg24> L3top,  does make sense
[04:24] <L3top> zorg24: yes.
[04:24] <zorg24> ok
[04:24] <zorg24> so reboot right
[04:25] <L3top> afraid so.
[04:25] <mdel> speaking of broadcom :)
[04:25] <zorg24> kk
[04:25] <mdel> that wireless card is one
[04:25] <L3top> how far too far?
[04:25] <mdel> then again most seem to be :(
[04:26] <zorg24> L3top, so just for kicks I tried it and reconnecting the hdmi cable does reset it after all....
[04:26] <L3top> zorg24|evo: how far too far to the left bottom.
[04:26] <L3top> zorg24 reset meaning what
[04:26] <rgates414> Any sage-like advice out there for this particular problem? ;)
[04:26] <L3top> rgates414: lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)'
[04:26] <zorg24> L3top, it looks just like it does when I plug it in after rebooting
[04:27] <L3top> run the output line again
[04:27] <zorg24> L3top, also it was quite a bit like an inch
[04:27] <zorg24> L3top, oh now I see why you need to reboot
[04:27] <rgates414> lol, like I said, I'm a n00b.. I have NO idea what that means..
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <rgates414> Gotcha.. I can do that.. lol
[04:28] <L3top> rgates414: and tell me what it returns
[04:28] <zorg24> L3top, ya so at least an inch on each side
[04:28] <L3top> each side? or top and right?
[04:28] <gmachine_24> I've had a problem with a couple laptops using broadcom cards and pretty much the problem turned out to be that someone decided to blacklist certain broadcom cards ... it was dumb but easily solved
[04:28] <zorg24> L3top,  its shifted a bit more to left than it is down
[04:28] <Metzee> How to install Nvidia Geforce GT 520M in linux?
[04:29] <gmachine_24> I suppose I should say certain Broadcom chipsets
[04:29] <mdel> arooni-mobile: ??? `ls -al /some/path/on/your/system`
[04:29] <mdel> should work
[04:29] <L3top> we are close at least zorg24... though it might not look that way.
[04:29] <L3top> Metzee: should be as easy as sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:29] <zorg24> L3top, if you say so also the washed out colors are still their btw
[04:29] <arooni-mobile> mdel, no cuz itll give me the permissions of everything within 'system' in your example
[04:29] <zorg24> rebooting
[04:30] <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] <L3top> correct rgates414.
[04:31] <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] <gmachine_24> L3top, well, there you go
[04:31] <mdel> rgates414: yes
[04:31] <rgates414> hahaha.. alright then.  Had to switch back to windows to get some answers.. lol
[04:31] <zorg24> L3top,  good news logging out resets it for real, I tried the output thing and it errored
[04:32] <mdel> aaas: if you install ccsm you can configure unity pretty granularly
[04:33] <gmachine_24> L3top, is the problem with the Broadcom driver something new because I don't remember having it happen in older versions of Ubuntu
 after I install .....When I check with lspci is show.... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1) ....why?
[04:33] <aaas> mdel thanks...do you know the package name for ccsm?
[04:34] <meken> exit
[04:34] <mdel> something like compiz-config-settings-manager
[04:34] <mdel> or something lol
[04:35] <mdel> ugh... might be time to ditch this nvida card :(
[04:35] <Metzee> Can help Me?
[04:36] <mdel> Metzee: whats the issue?
 after I install .....When I check with lspci is show.... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1) ....why?
[04:38] <Metzee> Why mdel?
[04:39] <Metzee> mdel: why?
[04:39] <mdel> Metzee: you mean why the number is different?
[04:40] <Metzee> No.......My Vga is not find...when I check in terminal with lspci
[04:40] <mdel> you are saying it IS found
[04:40] <zorg24> L3top, so umm what next?
[04:40] <Metzee>  .....When I check with lspci is show.... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1) ....why?
[04:40] <xmath279> i guess what he means is that there is no acceleration at all and like only one resolution
[04:40] <L3top> working on it zorg24.
[04:41] <mdel> Metzee: sorry but that question makes no sense. that means your card is found...
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <L3top> actually that verbose log wont make any difference just grepping vga... so lspci -nnvv | grep VGA -A10 is probably sufficient.
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <L3top> phiscribe: I do not understand your question either.
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <L3top> You are asking if it is an optimus. I see. Sorry phiscribe.
[04:47] <L3top> I thought you were describing your own issue
[04:48] <phiscribe> no i have beaten the driver beast once to often, luckily its all working now
[04:49] <mdel> the driver beast has bested me this time
[04:49]  * mdel repeats the hand gesture from Linus to Nvidia
[04:52] <mdel> sucks... i *think* this card would be way better than the onboard ATI
[04:52] <SachinDey> Can anyone tell me how to start apps one after anther after short period of time
[04:52] <mdel> its an old 6600 geforce but still
[04:52] <phiscribe> there is a project called bumlebee or tumbleweed to try to get those optimus working, but its very rough
[04:52] <mdel> it was a personal battle to get it working, and I'm about to fold
[04:53] <L3top> zorg24 http://bpaste.net/show/7D1hLoXn61ERdJwkanQb/
[04:54] <mdel> final attempt... installing nvidia drivers from their site *shudders*
[04:54] <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.
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <mdel> L3top: i just removed everything nvidia I had installed, I'll reboot and repaste
[04:56] <mdel> i appreciate it ;)
[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
[04:57] <zorg24> L3top, or would you rather me just give you my email?
[04:57] <L3top> will do zorg24. If you are around tomorrow afternoon I will have figured out what I need to.
[04:57] <amitvaria> I installed the lamp stack using "sudo tasksel install lamp-server". Apache, MySQL are working, but when I try running php I get an error that the command is not found
[04:57] <zorg24> L3top, ok cool your efforts are much appreciated :D
[04:58] <mdel> amitvaria: phpcli shoudl be installed, but check
[04:58] <mdel> amitvaria: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[04:59] <mdel> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092642/
[04:59] <zamn> hey where can i go to see all of the .desktop options?
[04:59] <mdel> L3top: old card, I'm pretty sure it works really well with the 173 driver
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <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] <mdel> amitvaria: no problem, yeah you def want the 2 i mentioned (apc is an opcode cache and gd is the image library)
[05:02] <mdel> L3top: you got it, 1 min
[05:02] <L3top> mdel: it can be done... btw... you just need to deal with the stupid avhi10 thing.
[05:02] <mdel> yeah i didn't even look into it because I figured it would be fixed soon in precide-proposed
[05:03] <mdel> *sp
[05:03] <amitvaria> done and done
[05:03] <mdel> amitvaria: you do have to configure APC, but I'll leave it up to you to figure that out :)
[05:03] <mdel> its super easy, but gives you much better performance
[05:04] <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?
[05:05] <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
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <L3top> mdel: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2     just to be sure.
[05:12] <L3top> !poll | aaas
[05:12] <drennen> biggest bot is best bot
[05:13] <aaas> i was just asking for objective reasons...im not asking for 'the best'
[05:13] <mdel> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092663/
[05:13] <Fyodorovna> aaas, you have a desktop now or are you running without one?
[05:13] <mdel> L3top: not sure how nouv got there....
[05:14] <mdel> aaas: you asked if there was a reason to chose a light de over a heavy one if specs arent an issue. the answer is use whatever you want
[05:14] <mdel> if there is a reason, it would be an OBJECTIVE one for you, and we can't ssh into your brain :)
[05:14] <L3top> I understand. Polling is just verboten. It causes a bunch of people arguing over the best solution etc etc... and makes it annoying to try and scroll through to help people with support issues... and this is strictly a support channel.
[05:14] <mdel> unless... you provide credentials
[05:14] <phiscribe> i can! oum oum oum
[05:15] <L3top> aaas: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:15] <aaas> mdel the simple thing is to say...'there's no overhead really for cpu for light v.s. heavy and not much diffrence over network'  not gogoing on this silly monologe about how everyone's opnion is fantastic ;)
[05:15] <L3top> mdel: if it cannot load nvidia, it will default to nouveau
[05:16] <mdel> aaas: lolwut? go to the other channel :)
[05:16] <mdel> L3top: yeah I didn't realize it was part of the nvidia package
[05:16] <mdel> either way, it's not loading the driver even if I probe it
[05:16] <mdel> the nvidia driver that is
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <mdel> I'm guessing the mem addressing issue is making it stop loading anything but vesa?
[05:18] <L3top> are you suggesting that nouveau isnt loaded? I would argue that it is.
[05:18] <oscarvarto> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and after a reboot the login window doesn't recognize my password. What can I do?
[05:19] <L3top> lsmod | grep nouv
[05:19] <mdel> nope
[05:19] <mdel> not loaded
[05:19] <L3top> really?
[05:19] <mdel> really :(
[05:19]  * L3top begins to question the integrity of the card 
[05:19] <mdel> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092667/
[05:19] <mdel> i have 2 of them, lets try the other one
[05:19] <L3top> Oh I believe you...
[05:19] <L3top> just confused.
[05:20] <Fyodorovna> oscarvarto, first boot to the OS?
[05:20] <drennen> oscarvarto, try booting into recovery mode
[05:20] <oscarvarto> it's the first reboot
[05:20] <L3top> oscarvarto: try caps lock. Perhaps you had it on when creating/confirming
[05:20] <mdel> L3top: im going to swap in the other card... anything you reccomend beforehand?
[05:21] <L3top> what is the other card?
[05:21] <mdel> im talking about uninstalling drivers, not grounding myself :)
[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> indeed :) give me a few
[05:21] <L3top> oscarvarto: ctrl alt f2 and try and log in.
[05:22] <L3top> if not, you are not using the correct password... again try the caps lock thing.
[05:23] <oscarvarto> I modified some environment variables
[05:23] <oscarvarto> I guess that's the reason
[05:23] <L3top> what env variables did you modify and how?
[05:24] <drennen> oscarvarto, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092669/
[05:24] <mdel> L3top: same -NVRM: The system BIOS may have misconfigured your GPU. in dmesg
[05:25] <mdel> NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid
[05:25] <L3top> very interesting mdel. clearly the bios is the place to look...
[05:26] <mdel> L3top: BIOS only has 1 setting for video: AUTO or ONBOARD
[05:26] <mdel> its set to auto...
[05:26] <ewerton> What is extension .sh?
[05:26] <mdel> ewerton: shell script
[05:26] <drennen> shell
[05:27] <L3top> mdel: does it have northbridge southbridge settings etc?
[05:27] <ewerton> thanks
[05:27] <drennen> I have a most likely simple issue, but i cant find any answers on google
[05:27] <L3top> someplace deeper to look?
[05:27] <drennen> Counterstrike:Source on steam seems to have the level background update on every render and it bleeds through the rest of the level.
[05:27] <mdel> L3top: did I mention this is a dell :) booting bios now
[05:27] <drennen> really kills the gameplay. anyone know a fix?
[05:28] <ewerton> what is .deb and .run? i need know this :D
[05:28] <bipul> i am unable to install my ubuntu 10.04 in my Virtual Machine(Oracle) it giving me following Error Message http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092674/
[05:28] <L3top> ewerton: .deb is a debian package. .run is a binary installer typically.
[05:28] <drennen> how much memory is on it?
[05:29] <L3top> bipul: in system settings you need to enable pae in the vm
[05:29] <bipul> pae ? whear is that in Oracle ? L3top
[05:30] <ewerton> and .run?
[05:30] <L3top> settings/system/processor/enable PAE/NX    check it.
[05:30] <mdel> ewerton: see above
[05:30] <L3top> a .run is typically a binary installer ewerton.
[05:30] <mdel> L3top: no other relevant settings
[05:31] <ewerton> oh, ok, sry :)
[05:31] <L3top> stoopid dell bios... :(
[05:31] <mdel> yup
[05:31] <mdel> just updated it too.. that was fun
[05:31] <mdel> have my freedos disk right here :)
[05:32] <L3top> afk
[05:32] <mdel> L3top: at one point, the drivers WERE loaded and working terribly, which lead me to try installing older ones
[05:32] <mdel> ah, thanks anyway L3top  :)
[05:32] <L3top> wait mdel... can you go over that again?
[05:33] <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] <L3top> mdel: was nvidia ever working on this machine in any version of ubuntu?
[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
[05:34] <mdel> I installed nvidia-current, shut down and installed the card, booted back up
[05:34] <mdel> it was "working" but the system was completely unusable
[05:34] <mdel> rendering was totally borked, and everything was slowed down to a crawl
[05:35] <mdel> I've been trying to get it working properly for a few days now
[05:35] <mdel> so it DID load the driver at some point, but it wasn't working properly
[05:36] <mdel> it's really odd that I can't even get back to that state
[05:36] <L3top> mdel it is.
[05:36] <mdel> removing nvidia-current-updates, installing standard
[05:37] <mdel> lets see if I can get it back... you going to be around later?
[05:37] <L3top> yes
[05:37] <bipul> L3top, Yah it works thanks
[05:37] <bipul> L3top, by the way what is PAE/NX?
[05:38] <L3top> !pae
[05:38] <mdel> L3top: ok cool, I'll try to get back to where I was, though I haven't had any luck with that yet lol
[05:39] <mdel> I've gone through many battles with xorg and nvidia, this is by far the most odd
[05:40] <L3top> I autodetect/install on every nvidia on the planet for our project and have never run into this. Its very weird mdel.
[05:40] <mdel> L3top: that's never a good thing to hear lol
[05:40] <L3top> of course... this is all on 1004.
[05:41] <mdel> also interesting... on boot, screen hangs dark for a bit, then turns off and comes back at a low res
[05:41] <mdel> must be when the nvidia mod is tried to load, and fails
[05:41] <mdel> nvidia-current = same problem
[05:41] <mdel> i also ran nvidia-xconfig just to be sure my xorg was correct
[05:41]  * mdel isn't sure if he likes DKMS
[05:42] <L3top> you should not be using an xorg.conf
[05:42] <L3top> mdel what version ubuntu is this?
[05:42] <mdel> 12.04
[05:42] <L3top> You shouldnt need an xorg.conf.
[05:42] <mdel> ok, I'll remove and reboot
[05:42] <L3top> mdel:
[05:42] <L3top> mv dont rm
[05:42] <L3top> just back it up
[05:43] <harovali> hi, although sane-find-scanner says "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung], product=0x3434 [SCX-4623 Series]) at libusb:001:003" , xsane complains about "failed to start scanner: invalid argument", some people seem to have passed thru this problem earlier (i.e. http://superuser.com/questions/67580/failed-to-start-scanner-invalid-argument-xsane ) , but the proposed solution does not work for me
[05:43] <mdel> L3top: yeah I know :) though its easy to regenerate
[05:43] <harovali> It's not a webcam conflict problem since there is no webcam connected to the system
[05:45] <mdel> L3top: resolution is different, but same issue
[05:45] <ewerton> have ".run" a signification? "r"."u"."n"?
[05:45] <mdel> [   18.374383] NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid:
[05:45] <mdel> ewerton: no, just an extension
[05:45] <L3top> ewerton: it comes from the ancient command "run"
[05:46] <L3top> run this run that.
[05:46] <L3top> BASIC
[05:47] <mdel> arg, why not even nouv?
[05:47] <mdel> just this vesa cra
[05:47] <mdel> p
[05:47] <L3top> dunno mdel.
[05:47] <mdel> L3top: should modprobe nouveau work even?
[05:47] <mdel> WARNING: Module off not found.
[05:48] <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?
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <mdel> yeah that works, but its no different
[05:50] <mdel> like I said much earlier... im about to cede :)
[05:50] <L3top> this is my current working Kernel modules: nvidia-glx-260, nvidiafb, nouveau
[05:50] <L3top> ignore the 260... thats ours.
[05:51] <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> this one has me stumped
[05:53] <yannick_> Hello world :)
[05:55] <mdel> tons of posts about the PCI I/O error, but not a single (reasonable) solution
[05:55] <mdel> oh snap: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-bugs/2009-March/048702.html
[05:56] <yannick_> small problem with my ubuntu studio! :p
[05:56] <jrdnn> !ask: yannick_
[05:56] <yannick_> yep
[05:56] <mdel> yannick_: dont worry, we can help turn those into HUGE problems :)
[05:56] <mdel> or at least I can
[05:56] <yannick_> lol
[05:57] <yannick_> thx
[05:59] <mdel> hahahaha
[06:00] <mdel> this post if by my good friend TJ
[06:00] <mdel> slightly different output, but interesting nonetheless
[06:04] <electronbee> hello?
[06:04] <jrdnn> electronbee: Hi
[06:05] <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
[06:11] <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'
[06:12] <mdel> or, voltage issue
[06:12] <mdel> lsmod lists nvidia
[06:13] <mdel> no dmesg about the PCI I/O
[06:14] <L3top> wow... good job mdel! I will have to look into that... are you using the PAE kernel by the way?
[06:15] <L3top> mdel: uname -r
[06:15] <mdel> yeah I am
[06:15] <mdel> but my bios still only sees 3.5Gb like that thread
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <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] <mdel> bpoole: most of them are in /usr/share/icons
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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: ^
[06:21] <L3top> mdel: I am actually thinking it might be linked to the pae kernel and how it operates.
[06:22] <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.
[06:24] <qmr> why is pidgin not connecting to google talk? :(   I just made a new application specific password for it, so it's not that
[06:25] <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 :)
[06:26] <zamn> hehe
[06:26] <mdel> if it isn't, you suck at googlin' haha
[06:27] <mdel> well this is just awesome, I love being affected by edge-case issues
[06:27] <zamn> stop being abnormal
[06:27] <mdel> tell that to Dell and their crap mobo :)
[06:28] <StarryNight> thats why i build my own systems
[06:28] <zamn> thats why *everyone* should build their own systems
[06:29] <lee98632> Hello
[06:29] <mdel> yes i should, but it was free and I'm trying to get me a mortgage :)
[06:29] <StarryNight> for me i can control the quality
[06:29] <mdel> so im not allowing myself to by a new machine
[06:29] <lee98632> Has a Son with PKU can't afford a new machine lol
[06:30] <lee98632> at any rate...
[06:30] <mdel> i mean, I could.. but realistically I dont NEED it
[06:30] <mdel> im a simple man
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> qmr: let me try gtalk here in pidgin
[06:30] <lee98632> isn't that waht linux is supose to bea about? simplicity?
[06:31] <L3top> Not really.
[06:31] <lee98632> hmm ok how about it just works?
[06:31] <mdel> L3top: after finding that thread, the behaviour is making more and more sense...
[06:31] <L3top> !ot
[06:31] <qmr> ActionParsnip: does it work for you?
[06:32] <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
[06:33] <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
[06:34] <killer> mdel it still downloads whole 240 mb and not only firefox
[06:34] <yannick_> :)
[06:35] <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
[06:36] <bpoole> Yes, it does. upgrade is all packages, no options.
[06:36] <mdel> yeah that's weak
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> qmr: trying now
[06:38] <bpoole> Agreed, seems backward.
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> makes sense to me
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> qmr: got it :)
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> qmr: username = first part of your email address (the bit before @), domain is the bit after the @ in your email address, add your password. Under advanced, set the connect server to: talk.google.com
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> qmr: connection security should be set to require encryption
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> qmr: bit of searching (not using google) to find the new server to connect to.
[06:46] <qmr> ActionParsnip: <3333
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> qmr: next time you run a backup,  add your ~/.purple folder too. Makes reinstating the settings easier
[06:48] <Colonel_Panic> hey all
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> hi Colonel_Panic
[06:49] <Colonel_Panic> having a bit of trouble trying to create an HFS+ partition
[06:50] <Colonel_Panic> mkfs.hfsplus -v "my Apple FS" /dev/sdf1
[06:50] <Colonel_Panic> and I'm getting: bash: /sbin/mkfs.hfsplus: No such file or directory
[06:50] <Colonel_Panic> the command: mkfs.hfsplus -v "my Apple FS" /dev/sdf1
[06:51] <mdel> do you have hfsplus AND hfsutils installed?
[06:51] <Colonel_Panic> sdf1 is a USB drive
[06:51] <Colonel_Panic> yesy
[06:51] <Colonel_Panic> yes
[06:51] <mdel> L3top: no dice booting without pae
[06:51] <mdel> same issue
[06:52] <mdel> now I have to decide between this card and 1 extra gig of ram...
[06:52] <Colonel_Panic> I've tried using Gparted also, but of course that doesn't work either
[06:53] <Colonel_Panic> Maybe I'll just try burning a PartedMagic LiveCD and doing it fron there
[06:53] <Colonel_Panic> anyone know if PartedMagic supports HFS+?
[06:54] <mdel> Colonel_Panic: i believe so
[06:54] <mdel> haven't ever used it
[06:54] <mdel> (hfs in parted magic, that is)
[06:55] <mdel> yeah confirmed: http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start
[06:55] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: isn't parted magic just gparted on a bootable CD?
[06:56] <Colonel_Panic> yeah, along with a suite of other tools as well
[06:56] <Colonel_Panic> I don't understand why Ubuntu is failing at this
[06:57] <mdel> with that error message, it seems like you might be doing something wrong
[06:57] <mdel> im not an expert on the hfs utils though
[06:57] <Colonel_Panic> Hold on.... let me try it again so I can give specifics
[06:58] <HiggsPossum> come to #e3b there are a lot of ubuntu girls ready to go out with you :) #e3b girls that loves ubuntu come and check them out on #e3b
[06:58] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: I'm on the parted magic page now :)
[06:59] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: you can get all that stuff in Ubuntu in the liveCD....
[06:59] <ActionParsnip1> HiggsPossum: wrong channel dude, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:00] <HiggsPossum> :(
[07:00] <HiggsPossum> but you should try it :p
[07:00] <Colonel_Panic> Well all MY Ubuntu system has to say about it is:" mkfs.hfsplus: No such file or directory"
[07:00] <ActionParsnip1> !find mkfs.hfsplus
[07:00] <Colonel_Panic> ubuntu girls, eh?
[07:00] <Colonel_Panic> heh
[07:01] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: if you don't have hfsprogs you won't get it
[07:01] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: you can install hfsprogs in the liveCD using the repos
[07:01] <Colonel_Panic> what is hfsprogs?
[07:01] <HiggsPossum> Colonel_Panic, you'll have a surprise if go there
[07:01] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: its a package, it contains the command mkfs.hfsplus
[07:01] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: not massively obvious?
[07:02] <L3top> Thats a shame mdel...
[07:02] <Colonel_Panic> strange, I looked at some 20-30 web pages about this issue and never came across any program calld "hfsprogs."
[07:02] <Colonel_Panic> I'll check it out now
[07:02] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: I just asked ubottu to search for me :)
[07:02] <mdel> meh, L3top this box is first-and-foremost a server... it would have been nice to get CS:S running though :)
[07:03] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: or you can do it yourself at packages.ubuntu.com
[07:03] <Colonel_Panic> YAY!
[07:03] <Colonel_Panic> It worked
[07:03] <mdel> L3top: i really appreciate the help... think im going to put these cards back in the closet :)
[07:03] <ja19> Krzysiu_18
[07:03] <L3top> seems wise considering its job mdel
[07:03] <gaurav__> my headfone mic is not working in skype
[07:04] <Colonel_Panic> thanks, ActionParsnipl, and thanks to ubottu!
[07:04] <ja19> ktoś pl?
[07:04] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: she's a bot :)
[07:04] <Colonel_Panic> I know :)
[07:04] <mdel> L3top: once again, all work and no fun for me haha
[07:04] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: does it work in other apps ?
[07:04] <Colonel_Panic> OK so now I have bootable, HFS+ formatted tjumb drive
[07:05] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1,  i don't check with other app
[07:05] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: do so please, skype is a poor tester for anything
[07:05] <Colonel_Panic> I can proceed with my hackintoshing adventure
[07:05] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: 9 time in 10 it will make things appear faulty, when they aren't
[07:06] <Colonel_Panic> I'm actually half wondering why I don't just run OSX in emulation instead of all this hassle
[07:06] <ActionParsnip1> Colonel_Panic: I'd check the license for that first
[07:06] <Colonel_Panic> I mean... virtualization
[07:06] <Colonel_Panic> license? bwahahahaha!
[07:07] <Colonel_Panic> ahem
[07:07] <Colonel_Panic> OK back to business
[07:07] <Colonel_Panic> but seriously, thanks for the help
[07:10] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, can u suggest me some application
[07:10] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: sound recorder ..
[07:13] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, Its now working there also
[07:13] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: do you mean 'not'?
[07:13] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, Sorry Its not working
[07:13] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: if you run:   alsamixer      are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[07:13] <gaurav__> k i will check
[07:14] <zamn> hey for some reason my menubar isnt showing up in my terminal even though its checked -_-
[07:14] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: can you also give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[07:16] <ActionParsnip1> zamn: try unchecking it and applying the setting to the profile, close and rerun the terminal then reapply the settings
[07:17] <oscarvarto> Hi! I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bits and wonder if I should stick to openJDK (AFAIK this is the default-jdk) or install Oracle's JDK (I already installed Oracle's, but wondering if I'll get some problems with Eclipse, Scala, maven, etc)
[07:17] <mdel> i normally run openjdk, but thats me
[07:17] <ActionParsnip1> oscarvarto: if the openjava gives what you need, I'd stick with it
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <zamn> ActionParsnip1: which command?
[07:20] <oscarvarto> Last time I used OpenJDK there were issues with Swing and Graphical User Interfaces. Are those issues still not working?
[07:20] <mdel> again, eclipse works well for me... isn't that based on swing?
[07:20] <oscarvarto> ok. I'll give it a try.
[07:21] <zamn> heh ActionParsnip1 it seems its globally i lost my window menubars
[07:21] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, i unmuted all the itmes in alsamixer . and this is the inofrmation u want
[07:21] <gaurav__> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a0dee7b376c083070364c349e67181999ad55efe
[07:23] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a0dee7b376c083070364c349e67181999ad55efe
[07:24] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: saw the first time
[07:24] <Qualia> Please help me, I'm experiencing an incredibly terrible bug with gnome 3. my browser went to fullscreen and i can't restore it. Nothing works!
[07:24] <mdel> Qualia: F11
[07:24] <ActionParsnip1> Qualia: F11
[07:24] <mdel> (shot in dark)
[07:24] <Qualia> nothing works includes the hotkeys and clicking the restore
[07:25] <Qualia> :(
[07:25] <oscarvarto> mdel: Which version of Eclipse are you using? Juno (4.2) ? or Indigo (3.7.2)?
[07:25] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: try:  echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null
[07:25] <ActionParsnip1> gaurav__: reboot to test
[07:25] <gaurav__> ActionParsnip1, i am sufrreing from last 2 year
[07:25] <mdel> oscarvarto: not sure, I use it at work
[07:25] <ActionParsnip1> Qualia: does it affect all browsers?
[07:25] <mdel> oscarvarto: i believe it is whatever is in the repo for 12.04
[07:26] <oscarvarto> mdel: indigo then
[07:26] <mdel> i try not to open it much :)
[07:27] <Qualia> no
[07:27] <Qualia> ActionParsnip1,
[07:27] <L3top> What an odd way to add that ActionParsnip1. May I ask why you did that that way?
[07:29] <Greg> Hallo Kimi
[07:30] <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 > ?
[07:31] <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 :)
[07:32] <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?
[07:33] <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?
[07:34] <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] <marcin82> not to format
[07:34] <candrea> cyclist_2: what software are you using to interact with the vm?
[07:34] <marcin82> set the same user / passwd
[07:34] <mdel> thats what i though, thanks
[07:35] <mdel> well, also.. im installing xubuntu over top of ubuntu
[07:35] <mdel> again, im guessing the same applies
[07:36] <cyclist_2> candrea: the host OS is also Ubuntu [same distribution and version]; the guest machine works OK, except for the console windows
[07:37] <kishen> hey do you guys know any helpful study tips?how to memorize stuff for an exam?
[07:37] <candrea> cyclist_2: what I'd like to know is the software you use to interact with it (i.e. the window where you see the guest os)
[07:37] <mdel> kishen: dafuq? wrong place #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:37] <candrea> cyclist_2: because it is the responsible for sending the keys you type to the guest
[07:38] <yannick_> :)
[07:38] <candrea> cyclist_2: examples are (depending on the virtualization software) the virtualbox default viewer, vinagre and so on
[07:40] <cyclist_2> candrea: I use the default viewer; I am testing the guest machine and found out about this little problem
[07:40] <SKnight> I've got a question that may or may not apply here. I run Ubuntu 10.04 with a Windows XP installation and I just finished upgrading the motherboard and processor. 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.
[07:41] <mdel> SKnight: so when you try to boot, what happens
[07:41] <mdel> step by step
[07:42] <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
[07:44] <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.
[07:45] <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
[07:46] <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
[07:47] <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
[07:48] <cyclist_2> candrea: yes, I am using VirtualBox; I will check your suggested page now
[07:50] <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?
[07:51] <mdel> new mobo = new bios, so you'll def want to make sure it's all configured for all your new and old hardware
[07:52] <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
[07:53] <bekks> olio: Please ask a detailed question.
[07:53] <cfhowlett> Olio, when you "sue"?  You mean sudo?
[07:53] <olio> cfhowlett:   make[4]: *** [blk_cdcn_norm.lo] Error 1
[07:54] <olio> cfhowlett: make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
[07:54] <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
[07:55] <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 ?
[07:56] <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
[07:57] <bekks> olio: Because there is no IRC functionality in Opera Mini.
[07:59] <yannick_> ;)
[08:01] <Magiobiwan> o.O
[08:01] <Magiobiwan> My CD I made a few months ago is out if date.
[08:01] <Magiobiwan> No wonder.
[08:02] <Magiobiwan> Time to update to 12.04 LTS then.
[08:02] <solomon2004> heloo
[08:03] <cfhowlett> solomon2004, greetings
[08:03] <Magiobiwan> Well anyways, the main reason I came here.
[08:03] <solomon2004> ïðèâåò
[08:03] <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?
[08:04] <solomon2004> êòî àñèÿí
[08:04] <solomon2004> ðîñååÿí
[08:04] <yannick_> back on track for 5 min
[08:04] <Magiobiwan> Spammer?
[08:04] <yannick_> nop
[08:05] <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] <yannick_> yep
[08:05] <yannick_> thx
[08:05] <yannick_> ;)
[08:06] <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
[08:08] <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
[08:10] <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
[08:11] <brutus> mdel: http://i.imgur.com/o7gFC.png
[08:11] <olio> make error :http://pastie.org/4259563
[08:11] <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
[08:12] <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
[08:13] <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?
[08:14] <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?
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <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)
[08:19] <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] <L3top> lspci | -nn grep VGA
[08:20] <talntid> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)
[08:20] <talntid> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT 555M SDDR3] [10de:0df4] (rev a1)
[08:21] <mdel> L3top: don't laugh at this chipset...
[08:21] <mdel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1092814/
[08:22] <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"
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <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?
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <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?
[08:28] <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] <FloodBot1> mm_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[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
[08:29] <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
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <ActionParsnip1> bourbaki: log off, select the session using the Ubuntu logo next to your username and log in
[08:31] <bourbaki> Ok cool
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <mm_> how the command modeset in grub there  is set gfxpayload simple i write there radeon.modset=1
[08:34] <ActionParsnip1> brutus: Xubuntu has a very similar smell to Gnome2 if you like the classic desktop
[08:35] <think> hello everyone
[08:35] <L3top> I do not understand the question mm_
[08:35] <cfhowlett> think, greetings
[08:37] <mm_> give the line fully i not really good linux user if i start linux cd hit e and write there radeon.modset=1 to another line
[08:37] <bixop> hello people
[08:38] <Cleitus> hi guys
[08:38] <bixop> anyone think they could join a noob with internet connection problems?
[08:38] <bixop> *help
[08:39] <L3top> !nomodeset | mm_
[08:39] <Cleitus> i'm a guy with interest in programming and love to develop for linux or android platforms can anyone give me suggestions
[08:39] <mm_> thanks
[08:40] <cfhowlett> Cleitus, see #ubuntu-devel for developers
[08:40] <Cleitus> #ubuntu-devel
[08:40] <bixop> while updating to the new version of ubuntu my nonfreeware wireless network drivers were deleted and now i don't know how to get them back, since i can't access the internet on that machine
[08:41] <cfhowlett> bixop, suspect you've got the broadcom wifi set??
[08:41] <bixop> yes
[08:41] <bekks> which broadcom wifi chipset?
[08:41] <65MAAWBMU> Cleitus: look at developer.ubuntu.com as well.
[08:41] <bourbaki> Is there a dark look mode for ubuntu?
[08:41] <cfhowlett> bixop, wait 1 - there's a tutoria describing how to enable with the cdrom ...
[08:41] <bekks> there are about two handfull of them :)
[08:41] <ActionParsnip1> bourbaki: if you can find the Gnome3 theme, yes
[08:41] <bixop> alright
[08:41] <Cleitus> thanks guys
[08:42] <Cleitus> that apps are ok but i need some serious programming
[08:42] <Cleitus> challenge
[08:42] <cfhowlett> bixop, see http://www.ehow.com/how_7296322_install-driver-network-ubuntu-10_4.html
[08:43] <bourbaki> ActionParsnip1: Just fyi after booting again for gnome-panel he told me that there are new drivers (the guest additions it seems).
[08:43] <bixop> thx a lot cfhowlett
[08:43] <db_loco> hi team. I got this error after upgrading to 12.04 :(   ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.   Any clues?
[08:45] <cfhowlett> bixop, "STA No Internet Access"  http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/  I did this after clean install of 12.04.  Had wifi within minutes didn't even need to reboot
[08:45] <bekks> db_loco: You have to reinstall that v4l1 library.
[08:46] <ActionParsnip1> !broadcom | cfhowlett bixop
[08:46] <yannick_> thx
[08:46] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[08:47] <db_loco> bekks: thanks - how do i do that?
[08:47] <bixop> thx cfhowlett  and ActionParsnip1
[08:50] <bekks> db_loco: I have no clue how you actually installed it, I havent used v4l1 devices for ages now.
[08:51] <bekks> db_loco: Maybe you can find the package that contains that file on packages.ubuntu.com.
[08:53] <alFReD-NSH> Is there a library for C that can help me to stimulate mouse events and move the pointer?
[08:56] <db_loco> bekks: thanks - i'll research for it :)
[09:02] <yannick_> :)
[09:03] <db_loco> does any one know the where to find the GUI to change the login page resolution when starting Ubuntu 12.04?
[09:04] <kanupatar> hi guys
[09:04] <kanupatar> one doubt
 not found in the /usr/include/linux folder..i have installed the kernel headers
[09:06] <yannick_> trying something
[09:06] <kanupatar> ?
[09:06] <kanupatar> one doubt
 not found in the /usr/include/linux folder..i have installed the kernel headers
[09:07] <yannick_> sorry dont know yet
[09:07] <yannick_> :)
[09:07] <kanupatar> ok
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> db_loco: all I can think of is to use an xorg.conf file
[09:08] <yannick_> ;)
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> db_loco: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73804/wrong-login-screen-resolution
[09:09] <kanupatar> any ideas?
[09:09] <yannick_> nop
[09:09] <yannick_> sorry
[09:09] <db_loco> ActionParsnip1: thanks will look into it
[09:09] <kanupatar> anyone else?
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> !locate mm.h
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> !find mm.h
[09:12] <circle> I was to run python3 when I type "python" into the terminal, how do I do this? currently it runs 2.7
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> circle: python --version
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> circle: might be single dash
[09:13] <circle> circle@card-PC:~$ python --version
[09:13] <circle> Python 2.7.2+
[09:13] <circle> circle@card-PC:~$ python3 --version
[09:13] <circle> Python 3.2.2
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> if you run:   file `which python`
[09:13] <glebihan> circle, the default version of python is python2.7.*, don't change that
[09:13] <circle> glebihan: why?
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> you should see it is a symlink, so you can point it to the one you wanr
[09:14] <circle> ActionParsnip1: yes I do, how do I do this?
[09:14] <glebihan> circle, it'll break applications using python
[09:14] <circle> glebihan: hmm ok
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> circle: I'm not sure if it will break your OS, glebihan seems to know it is bad
[09:14] <circle> yeah I'll just stick to havint to type the number "3"
[09:15] <yannick_> lol
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <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 :)
[09:19] <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] <a5m0> hmmm if a process is red NI 19 in htop does that mean that my nice -n 20 is making it high priority rather than lowest?

[09:22] <yannick_> Hello ;)
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <Asad2005> How can i stop some greader feeds from updating in liferea
[09:30] <kanupatar> one doubt
 not found in the /usr/include/linux folder..i have installed the kernel headers
[09:30] <kanupatar> I am having 2.6.38 kernel
[09:39] <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] <ActionParsnip1> BlitzHere: what RAM, CPU and video hardware do you have?
[09:39] <Slart> BlitzHere: how old is "quite old"? what kind of hardware are we talking about?
[09:40] <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.
[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> bourbaki: you can use xrandr, if you use nvidia GPU, use nvidia-settings
[09:42] <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
[09:43] <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
[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> SoulRaven: or is it more involved?
[09:44] <SoulRaven> i want to restart from cron
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <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
[09:47] <yannick_> ;)
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> SoulRaven: then your script can run:  killall tomcat; killall -9 tomcat      then restart the service again.
[09:51] <yannick_> friendlymanual :)
[09:51] <yannick_> :)
[09:53] <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.
[09:56] <db_loco> bekks: i only can do this for lv4l -0  which covers them both i believe - is this right?
[09:58] <guest-pwvRan> :)
[09:58] <guest-pwvRan> ;)
[09:59] <bekks> db_loco: No.
[10:00] <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.
[10:01] <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
[10:02] <db_loco> bekks: oh and thanks
[10:08] <Meris> Which greeter will show language choice and how can I set that greeter to default?
[10:08] <Meris> I want to be able to choose my language for the session, right from the login screen
[10:09] <Guest91074> hi
[10:09] <Meris> Hi Guest91074, please state your question
[10:10] <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?
[10:11] <Guest91074> Meris, yes
[10:12] <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.
[10:13] <Guest91074> Meris, i try with zeitgeist but recent documents are not dileted or disabled
[10:13] <Meris> Guest91074, correction, choose Privacy instead
[10:14] <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?
[10:15] <Guest91074> Meris, I try with privacy ... it doesn't work
[10:15] <Guest91074> recent documents are not disabled or deleted ...
[10:15] <asmonaut> hello
[10:16] <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^
[10:17] <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?
[10:18] <Meris> Asad2005, Chromium is the open source version of Chrome. It does not lack any options included in branded Google Chrome afaik.
[10:19] <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?
[10:20] <Meris> Asad2005, Software Center is a convenient, but incomplete package manager, install Synaptic for more options and a steeper learning curve.
[10:21] <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?
[10:22] <Meris> Or choose another greeter with a greater maturity?
[10:23] <Guest91074> Meris, I choose "Tout" (all) et i click on "Supprimer l'historique" (delete history) and i disable "Enregitrer l'activité" (save activity)
[10:25] <Meris> Guest91074, ok,  and after that you are still able to find your recent documents in the Dash?
[10:26] <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.
[10:27] <Djobi-Djoba> Meris, it's done ;)
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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.
[10:32] <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
[10:34] <mental_mickey> Hi all
[10:35] <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.
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <|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
[10:38] <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
[10:39] <Meris> hi Nek
[10:39] <mental_mickey> Does anyone know of an extension/protocol manager (something like ubuntu tweak but better)
[10:40] <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
[10:42] <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.
[10:43] <Nek> Meris, yes why not, but i can't make the script by myself :/.
[10:44] <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> :(
[10:45] <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
[10:46] <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.
[10:47] <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
[10:48] <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....
[10:49] <Nek> hum
[10:49] <siavashserver> num
[10:49] <DjobiDjoba> Meris, thanks for your help, it seems work, i don't know why it didn't work before
[10:50] <Nek> Ubuntu is not cool for play. Np. I'll play on windows only. Thanks for help all :} .
[10:50]  * siavashserver fu
[10:51] <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
[10:53] <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....
[10:54] <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] <newman2> Hi! I want to play a good game for linux . Please tell me some good game :) If you know...
[10:54] <syn-ack> newman2, Tux Racer
[10:54] <Meris> newman2, sure what genre do you like?
[10:55] <newman2> well action is good
[10:55] <Nek> Meris, ^^' sorry i didn't understand.
[10:55] <Slart> newman2: more games here than you have time to play =) http://www.happypenguin.org/
[10:55] <oCean> Meris, syn-ack, this channel is for Ubuntu topics only. /join #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[10:55] <Nek> If it's not a problem for you... It's cool for me.
[10:55] <ramona> does any one have any problems with javaws in ubuntu 12? Java applets runs terribly slow on my machine
[10:55] <newman2> ty
[10:56] <Nek> (excuse bad comprehension, my english is bad);
[10:56] <Meris> oCean, understood, it was just a little sidestep, because DjobiDjoba was concerned about privacy
[10:56] <Nek> -;
[10:56] <saidatta123> hi
[10:56] <saidatta123> any1here?
[10:56] <DjobiDjoba> :)
[10:56] <saidatta123> any android geek here?
[10:57] <Meris> saidatta123, try #android instead, this is a Ubuntu support channel only\
[10:57] <saidatta123> #android
[10:57] <saidatta123> join #android
[10:57] <Meris> saidatta123, that's the spirit ;-)
[10:58] <saidatta123> can i triple boot linux xp mac os on a mac?
[11:00] <Meris> saidatta123, sure you can, just use bootcamp. Bootcamp doesn't care if you install Windows or another OS, you can make as many partitions as you have space available for.
[11:00] <Meris> !bootcamp
[11:03] <Mattias> So, I want to use rvm, but got loads of ruby packages from apt-get. Is there an easy way to get rid of them all? And should I?
[11:04] <ramona> does anyone here run Topcoder arena in ubuntu?
[11:05] <bekks> ramona: Why?
[11:06] <ramona> bekks, It runs very slow on my ubuntu 12. Login screen takes about 4 mins to load and when I submit the details the connection times out
[11:06] <bekks> ramona: How fast is your internet connection at all?
[11:07] <aib> hi, I'm booting from a 12.04 CD, but all I get is a mostly blank screen with the "keyboard = vitruvian" image at the bottom before it launches what looks like a Live mode. how do I get an install menu?
[11:09] <Meris> aib, just try to type any key just after the CD boots, you should be able to see a menu then.
[11:09] <ramona> bekks, 1mbps
[11:10] <aib> Meris: got it, thanks
[11:11] <bekks> ramona: Thats pretty slow - and I guess, it's just too slow to run that application.
[11:11] <Meris> aib, np :-)
[11:11] <Mattias> managed to get rid of all ruby packages
[11:14] <ramona> bekks, but it runs fine on windows
[11:16] <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?
[11:17] <L3top> bixop: Why are you running mounted (and presumably chrooted)
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <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?
[11:22] <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?
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <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...
[11:26] <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
[11:27] <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.
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <L3top> bixop: where did you download these packages FROM? My guess is that you might have the wrong versions for precise.
[11:30] <bixop> L3top: i downloaded the latest ubuntu image from ubuntu.com
[11:30] <L3top> packages
[11:30] <L3top> the broadcom packages
[11:30] <bixop> they are in the distribution
[11:31] <L3top> bixop: lets start over.
[11:31] <chandru_in> Is there anyway to restore accidentally deleted files from Ubuntu One?
[11:31] <L3top> What version of ubuntu do you have installed... and what live cd do you have in there currently?
[11:33] <bekks> chandru_in: Only when having a backup of them.
[11:33] <bixop> L3top: installed: 12_04 (after updating the drivers where uninstalled and i lost access to internet) livecd - also the 12.04
[11:33] <chandru_in> :(
[11:35] <L3top> one moment bixop.
[11:35] <aib> is there a console install option in 12_04? the desktop env is taking AGES to boot
[11:36]  * L3top can't find an install cd
[11:37] <aib> 256M memory and no swap, it must've read the whole CD 7 times over by now
[11:37] <L3top> bixop: on the cd do you have a /host/ubuntu/install/.fuse_hidden0000000400000001 directory?
[11:38] <cvr> aib: try the alternate cd
[11:38] <L3top> bixop: I guess that is just for wubi... try /pool/main/b
[11:38] <bixop> L3top: yes
[11:38] <L3top> yes to which
[11:38] <aib> cvr: alternate?
[11:39] <L3top> bixop: yes to which?
[11:39] <bixop> L3top: /pool/main/b
[11:39] <bekks> aib: With 256M, you're better of using LXDE.
[11:39] <L3top> ok bixop ls /pool/main/b | grep b43
[11:39] <aib> yeah, I'm hoping I'll be asked at one point
[11:39] <cvr> aib: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[11:39] <L3top> can you please tell me what that returns bixop?
[11:40] <Meris> Does anyone know howto replace the Unity greeter? I want to be able to choose my language at login
[11:40] <JoeNeptune> im haveing a little difficulty installing ubuntu alongside on a small xp computer , it crashed once then tryed to cut the windows partion a second time when i resatrted install
[11:40] <L3top> probably a whole directory actually... bixop.
[11:40] <bixop> L3top: b43-lscutter
[11:40] <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?
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <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 ?
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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!" ?
[11:45] <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] <system055>  hackin my bios what a can do
[11:45] <Bartzy> bekks: So what should be a safe numbeR?
[11:45] <Bartzy> number*
[11:45] <bixop> L3top: it replies, can't take status for "/pool/main/b/b43*" file does not exist
[11:45] <bekks> Bartzy: There is no "save default". It all depends on your hardware.
[11:47] <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?
[11:49] <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.
[11:50] <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.
[11:51] <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.
[11:52] <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.
[11:53] <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
[11:54] <bixop> L3top: can i do that with a mounted image?
[11:55] <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
[11:56] <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.
[11:57] <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?
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <Gifford> Fefefefe: ok, downloading lubuntu then
[11:59] <bixop> L3top: well, that makes two of us
[11:59] <Fefefefe> Right choice, man
[11:59] <L3top> ok bixop where is the cd mounted?
[12:00] <bixop> L3top: in /home
[12:00] <L3top> where in home bixo
[12:01] <L3top> bixop^
[12:01] <anthony__> I have xfce.  when I go log-out-button -> suspend, what command is actually used?
[12:01] <anthony__> I would like to create a custom keyboard mapping
[12:01] <bixop> L3top: /home/ubuntu-12_04-desktop-i386_iso
[12:02] <bixop> capital H
[12:02] <BlouBlou> I have 16gbs of ram, someone told me that swap is not needed in my case. Is that right?
[12:02] <vikram_> I completed with Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love ..... now where should I go ?
[12:02] <Fefefefe> Gifford, the only ball-skretch you can encounter are driver configuration. For this reason, you'd do better trying Live CD version first.
[12:02] <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 ?
[12:03] <Gifford> Fefefefe: ok, I will also install it to USB flash and use it there for a while
[12:03] <reuf> i want to create xkill shortcut on universal menu bar next to time, battery, etc... - how?
[12:03] <ferni> anthony__: pm-suspend
[12:03] <reuf> unity2d
[12:04] <anthony__> L3top, ferni thanks.  pm-suspend requires root.  does xfce run as root?
[12:05] <L3top> bixop sudo -s; login. Now cp -r /home/ubuntu-12_04-desktop-i386_iso/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/* /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:06] <nunnsby> hey all, Q about mdadm and rebuilding server
[12:06] <nunnsby> got a 500Gig drive running ubuntu
[12:07] <bixop> L3top: alright hold on a sec, just a question though: I need the bcmwl-kernel-source, which is in /pool/restricted/b/bcmwl not the b43 file. should i target that file instead?
[12:07] <L3top> bixop: you will need both
[12:07] <bixop> ok
[12:07] <nunnsby> then got 4 x 2TB drives, software raid 5, on 4 sata ports on the mboard
[12:07] <kwtm> Is there a #ubuntu-newbies channel or something that's quieter and less intimidating for a newbie to computers?
[12:07] <BlouBlou> is swap needed in a 16gbs ram desktop?
[12:07] <nunnsby> server in very state, but data on drives on raid 5 is intact
[12:08]  * DjobiDjoba eats newbies
[12:08] <nunnsby> can I removed server from 500 gig drive, and put down latest version and still keep raid 5 drives intact?
[12:12] <bixop> L3top: permission denied
[12:12] <bixop> wtf
[12:12] <db_loco> hi team.  I got san error being:  ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.   I found that the problem is that  it is looking at the wrong place.

[12:13] <Fefefefe> Kwtm, hahah I dont think so.. You just have to get used chatting here
[12:14] <kwtm> Fefefefe: Okay. Not for me; I've used Kubuntu since 6.06; but for someone else who appears to be intimidated.  Fortunately, that person was also being rude so I no longer feel obligated to ease him into the world of computing. :P
[12:15] <L3top> bixop: are you in read only mode?
[12:16] <bixop> L3top: I guess so, i don't know why nor how to get out of it
[12:17] <Meris> I want to hide all games from the Software center, including the adverts above.

[12:25] <bixop> L3top: i am currently burning a cd with the iso. maybe then i can install the files using synaptics. if not, ill boot from it and do as you say. just a sec
[12:26] <zomobuntu> hi everyone, any ubuntu wizzaards online?
[12:26] <db_loco> zixxy: i found the file i need to change.  its etc/ld.so.preload  This file only has one line, which is the directory where v4l1compat.so lives.  But its the wrong directory, so all i want to do is point it to the right place.  I can;t do it thru the GUI as no permissions even when logged in as ADMIN, and dunno how to od it thru terminal.
[12:28] <pckchem> db_loco you can give nautilus (GUI) admin permissions by running it from terminal with SUDO. Just be very very careful.
[12:28] <Questioneer> hello, I'm having a problem with the mount privileges
[12:28] <Questioneer> I can mount using sudo but I can not mount/unmount using nautilus
[12:28] <zomobuntu> system updated itself to v 12 and now any moniter i connect it to the computer comes up with out of range msg after boot. any idea how to fix it or go back to the prv version?
[12:28] <Meris> Canonical, take note, I will permanently disable your ad banner in the softwarecenter, until you give me the option to filter search and ads(!) to exclude certain app categories.
[12:28] <Questioneer> I am added to the FUSE group
[12:28] <pckchem> db_loco so open terminal and type ~:sudo nautilus
[12:29] <Questioneer> and now I wait
[12:29] <db_loco> pckchem: is there a command to revert the permissions once i am finished fixing the file?
[12:29] <pckchem> Meris: Most of us here are volunteers, I suggest going elsewhere if you want to get canonical's attention
[12:30] <pckchem> db_loco: Sure, you should be able to change it from nautilus right after you move the file
[12:30] <Meris> pkchem, I know that, but there is bound to be at least a single Canonical employee on the chat, though maybe not on sundays...
[12:30] <pckchem> db_loco: right click-> properties->permissions
[12:30] <db_loco> pckchem: excellent - so here it goes :s
[12:31] <Meris> pckhem, I know that, but there is bound to be at least a single Canonical employee on the chat, though maybe not on sundays...
[12:31] <pckchem> Meris: You still will have better luck submitting to questions, or maybe launchpad, not sure proper place for input like that off top of my head.
[12:31] <Medjai> In an init.d script. How can I run the commands inside as another user? I've tried using /bin/su <user> but when I look at the processes that are running they all run under root
[12:31] <Meris> pckchem, thanks for the suggestion, I will login to Launchpad and post it as an idea.
[12:32] <Questioneer> su (1)               - change user ID or become superuser
[12:32] <Questioneer> sudo (8)             - execute a command as another user
[12:32] <Questioneer> Anyone willing to help?
[12:32] <pckchem> Meris: cheers
[12:32] <enteL> Medjai: are you using the -c flag with su?
[12:33] <Medjai> no...
[12:33] <Medjai> lol
[12:33] <Medjai> i'm guessing i should be
[12:33] <enteL> try that
[12:33] <Medjai> man su
[12:33] <Medjai> err sorry meant to type that in the browser
[12:33] <Questioneer> hmmmm
[12:34] <bixop> L3top: trying to install with synaptics but even though i can reach the package and mark it for installation through the cd, it says additional 1202 kB has to be downloaded. i don't understand why but i am starting to suspect just the installation cd doesn't have all the required data. what do you think?
[12:34] <pckchem> !ask > Questioneer
[12:34] <Questioneer> well I did ask
[12:34] <Questioneer> and no one replied
[12:35] <Questioneer> [07/15/12 14:28] <Questioneer> hello, I'm having a problem with the mount privileges
[12:35] <Questioneer> [07/15/12 14:28] <Questioneer> I can mount using sudo but I can not mount/unmount using nautilus
[12:35] <Questioneer> [07/15/12 14:28] <Questioneer> I am added to the FUSE group
[12:35] <enteL> Questioneer: you might need gksudo i think its called
[12:35] <Questioneer> nope
[12:35] <Questioneer> it's something to do with the configurations
[12:35] <enteL> your in the fuse group?
[12:36] <Questioneer> yes
[12:36] <db_loco> pckchem: Thanks muchly - that worked fine
[12:36] <db_loco> pckchem: once i closed the page the permissionsreverted
[12:37] <vak> hi all, is it a 8-sec slowdown in FS-mounting or in networking here? [    2.927433] EXT4-fs (sdb3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [   11.566158] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[12:37] <pckchem> db_loco: You mean your elevated nautilus session? Yes, you'll have to restart it with sudo again.
[12:37] <Questioneer> hnmmmm
[12:37] <pckchem> db_loco: Or do you mean the file permissions?
[12:37] <db_loco> pckchem: thanks
[12:38] <Questioneer> !patience
[12:39] <db_loco> pckchem: sorry yes i meant the session.  Once i run it it came up with an error but still opened the folders session and i had permissions to update the files.  Once i closed the windows page, and re-opened it, i noticed the permissions to change files was gone.
[12:41] <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
[12:41] <bixop> L3top:
[12:41] <malin> the question is: how do I fix it?
[12:41] <bixop> lare you there?
[12:42] <pckchem> db_loco: I *think* by the windows page you mean Nautilus, which is the file-manager (windows explorer equivalant) in Ubuntu. I know it can be confusing to learn separate names for seemingly core parts of the OS, but Linux is like that, and if you remember them and use them, a side benefit is that we can help you much easier, and moreover, you can search for answers to your questions on google much easier ;)
[12:43] <nyuszika7h> Hi, how can I restore Windows 8's boot loader after removing Ubuntu's partition?
[12:43] <db_loco> pckchem: that makes lots of sense - thanks a lot
[12:44] <bixop> anyone: after updating to 12.04 my broadcom bcm4311 driver was uninstalled. I can no longer access the internet, not even through cable since my network card is damaged. i need to get the driver functioning through the cd. I find the package needed but can
[12:44] <pckchem> db_loco: You may also be interested in changing the file ownership, so that you don't have to use elevated permissions. Check out this: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/12/change-ownership-filesfolders-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/
[12:44] <bixop> can't install it through synaptics or through the terminal
[12:44] <pckchem> db_loco: It's for an older version but I looked it over, it's still solid instructions.
[12:45] <pckchem> nyuszika7h: Does this help? http://www.howtogeek.com/?post_type=post&p=33433
[12:46] <pckchem> nyuszika7h: Otherwise you may find it difficult to get support since Windows 8 is still beta software.
[12:46] <nyuszika7h> I'll try
[12:46] <bixop> can anyone help?
[12:47] <nyuszika7h> I have an install DVD for Windows 8 Release Preview
[12:47] <GabrialDestruir> is it possible to automount folders within an encrypted home folder?    I'm trying to mount some dropbox folders to various places like Documents/Music but fstab says they don't exist on boot up
[12:47] <Medjai> enteL, doesn't seem like it's working now
[12:49] <pckchem> bixop: Sorry, I'm not clear on your question. Do you need help moving the package to the computer, or finding the package?
[12:49] <db_loco> pckchem: thanks.  Do you know the code to open the monitor lists?  i think it is rndr - q, but I can;t recall anymore :s
[12:50] <pckchem> bixop: if the former, why not use a usb thumb drive?
[12:50] <bixop> pckchem: i found the package, i need help installing it since the machine doesn't seem to let me do it.
[12:50] <RamtinA2> hello ! i can't install vlc !! tell me : The "following packages have unmet dependencies"
[12:50] <pckchem> bixop: can you give me a more precise error message?
[12:50] <bixop> pckchem: i have it on a 12.04 Cd
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:50] <bixop> pckchem: 1 sec
[12:50] <Valou> Salut !
[12:51] <pckchem> db_loco: Just ask what you want to do.... there are some old ways of doing things that have been improved and I don't want to lead you astray ;)

[12:53] <pckchem> tking: I can't read arabic, can you translate?
[12:53] <db_loco> pckchem: alright. I want to know the resolution which is set for the login screen.  After an upgrade, i found that the login page is blank with 'input not supported' all over the place.  i need to find the resolution which that page is set at eventually
[12:53] <tking> pckchem, i dont even know either, thats why it is so annoying
[12:53] <bixop> L3top: not yet
[12:54] <bixop> pckchem: so L3top came back to help now, thx
[12:54] <pckchem> db_loco: yikes, messy update. I haven't messed with those settings in a long time, I'm afraid I can't help you other than with my google-foo.
[12:54] <bixop> L3top: you told me to boot from the cd and do what? im sorry i cant find the text
[12:54] <pckchem> tking: Do you have your localizations set to english?
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <tking> and it showed en_GB
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <kanupatar> hi guys
[12:57] <kanupatar> what may be the name of cd mechanism driver in linux?
[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
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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.
[13:00] <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.
[13:01] <pckchem> tking: what's in your autostart list (you said it was a startup issue right?)
[13:02] <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)
[13:03] <Iaccidentally> anyone know where i can get the libxslt package on 12.04?
[13:04] <pckchem> tking: The package looks like hijra-applet. Try sudo apt-get remove hijra-applet from terminal
[13:06] <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?
[13:07] <pckchem> laccidentally: Looked through the backports?
[13:07] <Iaccidentally> i have not.
[13:07] <tking> pckchem, http://pastebin.com/vCW6ytVz output
[13:08] <scapro65> ciao
[13:08] <scapro65> !list
[13:09] <Iaccidentally> meh, i'll just compile from source...was hoping to avoid that...
[13:10] <pckchem> tking; LOL sorry. let me re-phrase. In the terminal, type: "sudo apt-get remove hijra-applet" without quotes
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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:
[13:13] <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] <pckchem> tking: ;)
[13:14] <shah`> ;]
[13:14] <L3top> bixop: how are you running this if not from terminal?
[13:15] <bixop> L3top: it is from a terminal....
[13:15] <bixop> L3top: haha
[13:16] <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
[13:17] <tking> pckchem, lol thanks
[13:17] <L3top> bixop: then run it again.
[13:17] <bixop> L3top: same outpot
[13:17] <bixop> *put
[13:18] <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
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <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?
[13:22] <L3top> bixop: I do not understand what is going on on your end... and my kids are going nuts. Yes... that is precisely what you were meant to do. Someone else will surely be able to help you. You are already booted live, and just need to run fsck on your hd install.
[13:23] <bixop> L3top: well thanks. ill keep asking then
[13:23] <bixop> :)
[13:23] <bixop> pckchem: maybe you could help me?
[13:24] <pckchem> bixop: I have totally tuned out. Can you re-ask with a summary of what you tried? Maybe copy the converstation into a pastebin?
[13:24] <bixop> sure
[13:25] <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))
[13:25] <jamesw03> oh sorry accidental double post
[13:27] <jamesw03> does anyone have any idea?
[13:29] <iceroot> jamesw03: ##hardware is maybe better for that
[13:29] <jamesw03> iceroot: cool thank for the help
[13:31] <D[4]ni> meh. this again. i want to install a plugin for rhythmbox, but it doesn't want to show up in the plugins list.
[13:31] <D[4]ni> i tried to place it in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins, /usr/share/rhythmbox/plugins and ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins
[13:32] <D[4]ni> each of them with no luck
[13:33] <pckchem> d[4]ni: I'm not sure I can help you, but people will want to know, did you restart? Also, try to ask questions in a single line.
[13:34] <bixop> pckchem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093174/
[13:34] <D[4]ni> i did restart rhythmbox. do i need to restart my computer?
[13:35] <melodie_> zastaph, I like IBM Lenovo Thinkpad machines very much, they are very strong reliable and well recognised in all the linux boxes I have tried on it so far
[13:35] <jsebean> Hello all, I installed KDE in Ubuntu with apt-get install kde-full and it worked, but my desktop is all screwed up for the Air Oxygen theme: Screenshot: http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad145/jsebean/messed.png  Any idea on how to fix this?
[13:35] <zastaph> melodie, hmm yeah i guess.. but pretty and light they ain't :p
[13:36] <jsebean> Scotty_ you have Eastlink?
[13:36] <Scotty_> yeahh
[13:36] <melodie_> zaspire, light : Dell have some ultralight laptops, 13"
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <jsebean> Scotty_ LOL ditto, im on eastlink rural wireless they did in Nova Scotia
[13:37] <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] <jsebean> Scotty_ I'm getting 3Mbps right now
[13:37] <Scotty_> My speeds in Windsor is crap, but when i lived in Wolfville i was getting like 25mb/s
[13:37] <pckchem> !offtopic | jsebean
[13:37] <melodie_> zaspire, thinkpads are pretty, and heavy : very strong. a Samsonite case is not light right ? same for thinkpads
[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] <jsebean> LOL sorry pckchem, just saw someone not far from me :P
[13:38] <jsebean> Hello all, I installed KDE in Ubuntu with apt-get install kde-full and it worked, but my desktop is all screwed up for the Air Oxygen theme: Screenshot: http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad145/jsebean/messed.png  Any idea on how to fix this?
[13:38] <zastaph> melodie, strong is like last in my list of requirements, i guess :)
[13:38] <zastaph> i also thought about ubuntu on a tablet, if possible
[13:38] <narayana> D[4]ni: find out where your existing plugins are, and install it in the same directory
[13:38] <BluesKaj> jsebean, install kubuntu-desktop
[13:39] <mankoff_> Ack. Help. I'm going crazy. I need CUDA on a Linux laptop. I bought hardware just for this. This page http://www.nvidia.com/content/cuda/cuda-downloads.html suggests Ubuntu 11.04 is supported... But when I install that, I cannot get online, wired or wireless. So that is no good. 12.04 goes online, but no luck with NVidia drivers...
[13:39] <jsebean> BluesKaj: I thought kde-full had it all?
[13:39] <D[4]ni> narayana: most are in /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins - as i already mentioned, this doesn't work
[13:39] <abra> Has anyone encountered this problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093177/
[13:39] <jsebean> BluesKaj: Nevermind, 100MB :P
[13:39] <pckchem> mankoff_ !nvidia

[13:40] <ahhughes> for some reason two days ago my sound stopped working, I upgraded to 12.04 and it worked again, not it has stopped working again after reboot. I have no idea what could be wrong. Anyone got advice?
[13:40] <jsebean> Scotty_ elaborate?

[13:41] <mankoff_> ubottu: I've tried that link and specifically this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia But I don't have anything listed under "Additional Drivers" on 12.04 or 11.10.
[13:41] <Scotty_> is disk utility, i have my ubuntu installation as a Peripheral, with a 30GB parition not being used
[13:41] <Scotty_> the 30GB is Fat32
[13:41] <mankoff_> pckchem: I don't have a choice if I have to run CUDA software, do I?
[13:42] <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
[13:43] <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] <bixop> pckchem: no, i just recently loaded the livCD
[13:44] <Scotty_> jsebean: one sec, i'll show you my disk configuration
[13:44] <pckchem> bixop: So it doesn't work on the install ubuntu either.
[13:44] <pckchem> bixop: installed (as in, booted from the HDD)
[13:46] <bixop> pckchem: it doesn't work from the install either. the only thing i tried from the liveCD was sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1
[13:46] <Scotty_> jsebean: http://tiny.cc/3uphhw
[13:47] <OerHeks> mankoff_, maybe this howto is any help >> http://sn0v.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/installing-cuda-on-ubuntu-12-04/
[13:47] <pckchem> bixop: I am stumped then. The only suggestion I can offer is to grab the package you need on another computer and copy it over with a flash drive.
[13:47] <jsebean> Scotty_: I see...
[13:48] <jsebean> Scotty_: Is ubuntu on the FAT?
[13:48] <zixxy> bixop, do you not have a usb stick or something? couldn't you just download the driver from the computer you're on now?
[13:48] <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...
[13:49] <jsebean> Scotty_: The little ones are for swap, so that would suggest Ubuntu is on the FAT unless you're booting from USB or something?
[13:49] <bixop> pckchem: the weirdest thing is that it says access denied when i am doing a sudo command. Well I do have the package and the file, but on the liveCD.
[13:49] <drc> Anyone (in the US, that is) been able to get the Olympics Live on http://www.nbcolympics.com to work under X/Ubuntu and FF ?  (Yes I do have one the required cable subscriptions, and it works fine under Windows and SalixOS.)  Actually, it does not work with X/Ubuntu and FF, Chromium or Midori...so I and guessing it's not strictly a browser issue.
[13:49] <Scotty_> jsebean: yeah, i know windows 7 is on that, but im not sure where my ubuntu installation is located, i have no external drives /usb/card reader attached
[13:50] <D[4]ni> narayana: meh. it really seems to be an old plugin. i wonder why even starting rhythmbox with -d did not mention that.
[13:50] <Scotty_> jsebean: 3x 4.2GB on a 80GB HD isnt small lol, thats a huge chunk of my drive
[13:51] <jsebean> Scotty_: Oh i see, those are part of your drive?
[13:51] <bixop> zixxy: shouldnt i be able to install the packages from the cd?
[13:52] <Scotty_> jsebean: they have to be, no other hard drive /storage installed lol. But looking, i think my ubuntu may be installed on the 47GB with windows?
[13:53] <Scotty_> jsebean: i get in Disk Usage Analyzer; Total Filesystem capacity: 42.8GB (used 17.7GB available 25.1 GB)
[13:54] <jsebean> Scotty_: Can you open up the fat drive in nautilus, says it's mounted /host
[13:54] <Scotty_> jsebean: however if i go to properties of my /home directory, i have free space 3.8GB
[13:54] <ZeroAdam> I'm not a noob but I have a noob question. Is NFS the default way to share files from my ubuntu server to my desktops? Not interested in sharing to windows via samba, I'm already up on that method.
[13:54] <zixxy> bixop, I'm not positive, but I thought if you installed packages from the livecd that they would be applied to that livecd you have running, how were you going to apply it to your hdd install?
[13:55] <Scotty_> jsebean, negative, doesnt show up in Nautilus
[13:55] <PrivateReese> hey somebody  here who can tell my why using this script http://blog.mazesloup.fr/index.php/post/2011/10/12/dell-xps-l702x-switching-touchpad-onoff just switches the led light on the touchpad off/on not the touchpad itself?
[13:56] <narayana> Scotty_: can you do a fdisk -l ?
[13:58] <Scotty_> ah ha!!  It's because it was installed through Wubi so it is a file within windows
[13:58] <ayaka> I enter the failback mode, how can find out why
[13:59] <D[4]ni> why are there still that many plugins for rhythmbox 0.x and almost none for 2.x? :/
[13:59] <BluesKaj> ZeroAdam, NFS isn't nec3essarily the "default way". There are other options such as ssh mounts for example , but NFS is effective too.
[14:00] <Scotty_> I think i found what i need!!  >> How to convert Wubi install into regular install?
[14:00] <OerHeks> D[4]ni, all i have is an Equaliser, found @ http://askubuntu.com/questions/109297/how-do-i-install-an-equalizer-in-rhythmbox
[14:01] <ZeroAdam> BluesKaj: yeah, I didn't really mean "default" I guess i mean the linux way. Just wanting to keep it all linux so to speak
[14:01] <BluesKaj> ZeroAdam, for ssh : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring ..for NFS : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[14:01] <ZeroAdam> BlueKaj: Awesome Thanks!
[14:02] <Slart> ZeroAdam: I asked myself the same thing a while ago and I decided on nfs in the end.. I tried sshfs as well but it was less stable for me
[14:02] <Guest56399> hi!
[14:02] <narayana> Scotty_: Boot to windows, and uninstall wubi. Then boot through a live cd and install linux on a regular partition.
[14:03] <D[4]ni> OerHeks: i have one too. what i'm looking for is a good remote web interface, there are dozens of them for 0.x
[14:03] <ZeroAdam> Slart: that's the way i'm leaning. I'd already been reading up on NFS. I use openssh for remote administration currently
[14:04] <Slart> ZeroAdam: ssh works nicely for remove managemenet.. never had any problems with it.. but sshfs (the remote file system mounting thingy) crashed once in a while.. enough that it annoyed me.. this was a couple of years ago though, it might have improved by new
[14:04] <Slart> *now
[14:04] <ZeroAdam> Slart: got ya.. thanks for the info!
[14:05] <OerHeks> D[4]ni, i also see none @ https://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty
[14:06] <D[4]ni> meh, i hate how i have to install loads of packages if i want to install one application built for kde
[14:06] <XiRoN> Hi
[14:06] <XiRoN> I just installed a copy of ubuntu
[14:06] <XiRoN> But I cant access root
[14:06] <DJones> !root | XiRoN
[14:07] <XiRoN> Thanks
[14:08] <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"
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <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/
[14:11] <nyuszika7h> XiRoN, if you just want a root shell; sudo su
[14:11] <ssta> or sudo -i
[14:12] <nyuszika7h> or sudo -s
[14:12] <Meris> So many options... :-)
[14:14] <Metzee> how to install 3D acceleration in Asus A43S?
[14:19] <Metzee> can help me?
[14:23] <Kruptein> Metzee what's the problem?
[14:23] <Metzee> my 3D acceleration is not find.......why?
[14:24] <Kruptein> can you be a bit more specific?  what did you try, where did it go wrong ...
[14:25] <Metzee> I use Asus A43S and Vga nvidia Geforce Gt520 M
[14:25] <Mech0z> is there some net access terminal that is enabled in ubuntu by standard I can access it through if it wont boot up (I am running it as a server without keyboard and monitor)
[14:26] <Kruptein> do you mean the tty terminals? (ctrl+alt+F1, F2 etc)
[14:26] <what> Metzee have you tried using the utility for findgin drivers that ubuntu comes wiht?
[14:26] <Mech0z> atm when its booted I control it through putty, but that dont work until its inside the OS
[14:27] <Metzee> HOw to usethe utility??
[14:27] <_noiro_> Hey guys, do you know a good code editor? I saw that there was a free one with a black theme which was free, but forgot the name.
[14:27] <Metzee> HOw to use the utility??
[14:27] <Bartzy> bekks: Are you here by any chance ?
[14:28] <Kruptein> _noiro_: there are tons of free code editors
[14:29] <Kruptein> to start with the default gedit is decent enough for most small projects
[14:30] <Mattias> and vim is the one you want to learn
[14:30] <delac> Metzee: what makes you think you do not got 3D?
[14:30] <Kruptein> inb4 vim vs emacs discussion
[14:30] <_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] <_noiro_> I use Eclipse for java
[14:31] <Mattias> I tried kvm the other day on a headless server, it works and all but apparently does not support 3d acceleration. Does anyone know if virtualbox does? or any other application that can handle it?
[14:31] <Mattias> virtualbox headless that is
[14:31] <Metzee> Yes/...................when I start playonlinux.....it show you don`t seem 3D acceleration
[14:31] <Kruptein> _noiro_:  to be honest gedit can do all those things :D look at the settings ^^  but  I can't really give good advise as I'm biased towards my own not-that-great-at-all editor =D
[14:31] <chu> _noiro_: You could look at geany - it's a slight more advanced gedit I spose
[14:31] <_noiro_> Mattias, virtualbox supports 3D acceleration...somewhat
[14:31] <derrick_> all: Is there a program that teaches you how to use CLI or is this a thing you just have to teach yourself on your own time?
[14:32] <Kruptein> derrick_: there are a lot of web resources not an actual program I think
[14:32] <Kruptein> but there probably is
[14:32] <Mattias> _noiro_: I know it supports it regularly, but don't know about headless (remote virtual machine)
[14:32] <Kruptein> you do learn how to use it while you use the os though
[14:32] <_noiro_> Oh Mattias, I haven't tried remote machine. I just pop in a VNC client into the client lol
[14:32] <LAC> hey running free screen recorder but it's telling me Error creating AVI File, why is that?
[14:32] <derrick_> I've tried to find something on a cursory search, but haven't come up with anything...
[14:32] <delac> Metzee: in that case Nvidia binary drivers might be good thing to try. Go to System Settings -> Additional Drivers and install them.
[14:33] <sunshine1> ok
[14:33] <ubuntu-studio> hi all
[14:33] <what> metzee try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22118/can-i-install-extra-drivers-via-the-command-prompt
[14:33] <what> jockey-text -L
[14:33] <what> it should show your geforce card listed there
[14:34] <ubuntu-studio> can i turn of pasword end automatet logon for rot
[14:34] <Kruptein> LAC a quick search notified me that that error can mean a lot of things :/
[14:34] <delac> Metzee: jockey and Additional Drivers are the same thing.
[14:34] <derrick_> I found out about a program that teaches people how to program from http://alice.org but it's for Windows and Mac only.
[14:34] <Kruptein> LAC try a different compressor
[14:35] <Kruptein> derrick_: that's also not related to cli at all
[14:35] <derrick_> correct.
[14:36] <Kruptein> derrick_: so do you want to learn a programming language or just to learn how to use the cli?
[14:36] <LAC> Kruptein: alright but what applications do you use to record screen videos?
[14:36] <_noiro_> thenewboston.org is great for picking up languages
[14:37] <synned> ?
[14:37] <synned> ?\
[14:37] <Kruptein> LAC It really depends I switch OS's often and I also tend to switch programs often but I never really have problems like that so atm I'm just trying to help you with some generic solutions :/
[14:37] <vak> guys I'm abuot 6 years with ubuntu. Precisely talking, Precise Pangolin is the worst release. For pangolins bugs are not a problem, so the name comes out funny...
[14:37] <synned> i have a audio video sync problem with my ubuntu 12.04 can any1 help
[14:38] <LAC> Kruptein: oh that's cool
[14:38] <Kruptein> vak do you also have a question or are you just hear to criticise the release?
[14:40] <Meris> !backup
[14:41] <vak> Kruptein: 1. to add my feedback vote. 2. to find out how to solve my issue nr 20 or so with this release (my ubuntu boots ok only in 50% cases). Said that, thank you for not insulting me for the negative feedback.
[14:41] <synned> an audio video sync issue with ubuntu 12.04 some help please
[14:42] <Meris> synned, OK, what Audio and what video hardware are you using and what is the trouble?
[14:42] <Kruptein> vak i'm totally fine with that ^^ there just sometimes tend to be people that just come in shout some angry words and leave
[14:43] <HelloWorld321> My Ubuntu Software Center says that I have the MySQL client installed, yet I can't find it from the "Dash" bar.  Is there a way to get in on the "Dash" bar?  Is there a way to run it from elsewhere?
[14:44] <HelloWorld321> Should I check the installation somehow to make sure that it's really there?  dpkg says yes.
[14:44] <Kruptein> HelloWorld321: did you try running it from command line?
[14:44] <Meris> HelloWorld321, the MySQL client is a terminal app
[14:44] <synned> i am experiencing it recently in 2 3 days. my video keeps on playing while the audio stops and after some interval it get the audio. is it a bug? or any update issue? I face the problem while playing anything on a player and even while streaming videos
[14:44] <fellayaboy> whats the best terminal program to download youtube video
[14:45] <HelloWorld321> oic: you mean "mysql".  Yes, I was able to run that.
[14:45] <Meris> HelloWorld321, if you want to access it by GUI, try installing phpMyAdmin or access it through LibreOffice Base
[14:45] <vak> Kruptein: angry words are about canalization of failed personal expectations -- this way ppl defend their own self-esteem. Back to my current issue: ubuntu boots, then it doesn't, it boots, then it doesn't, and so on
[14:45] <jamygolden> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu on a friends pc. It boots up properly via the cd, however once installed, as it's booting it stops at a flashing screen. Have any of you run into that problem before?
[14:45] <HelloWorld321> I thought there was a GUI for it  Tx Kruptein..  I'll try LibreOffice Base, ttx Merix.
[14:46] <Kruptein> HelloWorld321: it can have a gui :p I just wondered whether you could start it from command line so that you are sure that it is there and then you can add it to the dash
[14:46] <synned> jamygold what is the config of the machine that u r using for installation
[14:46] <Meris> HelloWorld321, I can really recommend phpMyAdmin for DB browsing, I prefer it over Base for that. In order to create a simple DB and a small app around it, Base is better suited.,
[14:46] <synned> meris any suggestion
[14:47] <nana> what version of ubuntu am I running? Debian ?
[14:47] <nana> Which tools should i use to troubleshoot networks
[14:47] <vak> Kruptein: how would you narrow the reason? (racing condition, some deadly state passed after last successful boot to the next one?)
[14:47] <Meris> synned, I might be able to help you better if you answered my previous question. What hardware are you using, what are the steps to reproduce the faulty behaviour?
[14:48] <jamygolden> synned, intel i5 2800, 4gb ram ddr3 1666mhz, 500gb hdd, ati radeon hd6850
[14:48] <synned> wait ill tell u
[14:48] <synned> jammygold k do u have windows on it
[14:48] <nana> Network profile tools?
[14:49] <Meris> synned, if it involves more than one line of text, please use a pastebin, such as paste.ubuntu.com
[14:49] <Kruptein> vak I'm really no expert :( i just try to help those that I can actually help   with booting problems I also have to come here myself often   probably some log file has the info you need but no idea which one :/
[14:49] <vak> Kruptein: i see. thanks anyway
[14:49] <jamygolden> synned, just formatted, so no windows
[14:49] <nana> Anyone familiar with troubleshooting Kindle Fire which is froze on the splash screen?
[14:50] <nana> Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.
[14:50] <Meris> vak, if you look at dmesg, do you see any entries at all from the dates that you box did not boot fully?
[14:50] <synned> jamygolden then u should not face any problem did u check the forums the config is good
[14:50] <__victor> Hi
[14:51] <__victor> anyone is running HUAWEI E398 LTE usb modem ?
[14:52] <nana> Ubuntu not seeing the Kindle Fire
[14:52] <Jacta> whats the differences between (Quantal Quetzal) Daily Build and Xubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) Alpha 2
[14:52] <jamygolden> synned no I didn't check for the config since it worked via the install cd. Very weird. I tried installing 11.10, a similar thing happens. instead of a flashing screen though, it has a black screen, but there's about 1 or 2 px line at the top that displays what looks like is the ubuntu default background
[14:53] <vak> Meris: is /var/logs/dmesg the previous boot log or the current one shown with dmesg command?
[14:53] <jamygolden> I'm guessing it's somehow graphics related
[14:53] <Jacta> well - the dialy build and the aplha's
[14:54] <DjobiDjoba> re salut tout le monde
[14:54] <Meris> vak, that file shows you the devices and their configs that ubuntu detects on boot, which might point to the origin of your issue.
[14:54] <HelloWorld321> I tried phpmyadmin, but gave up on that.  The configuration was driving me nuts, and wasn't able to get help in any of the associated chat rooms.
[14:54] <BluesKaj> !fr > DjobiDjoba
[14:55] <Meris> HelloWorld321, you might try an integrated LAMP package, which should include a fully configured phpmyadmin
[14:55] <DjobiDjoba> sorry
[14:55] <HelloWorld321> In fact, the only help I got in #mysql, was go ask #php, and #php told me not to use "that cr*p".  heh.
[14:55] <synned> Meris i have a gigabyte 865 motherboard and the video and sound card are onboard
[14:55] <Meris> DjobiDjoba, ah, you are back :-)
[14:55] <synned> sound realtek
[14:55] <HelloWorld321> Well, I'll give it another shot now, if you're up for it.  I have it going okay, but there was the pma tables to set up
[14:55] <Meris> synned, realtek ALC1200 / ALC899?
[14:55] <Phoebus> Anyone have experience with adaptec RAID controllers on precise? (Adaptec serial ata II 1420SA) - installed the StorMan for it, but it still is not recognized. "No controllers found on this system". It shows on the disk utility, drives too... but not using the raid driver.
[14:55] <synned> k let me check
[14:56] <Phoebus> Using a sata_mv driver.
[14:56] <Meris> synned, please pastebin the output of lspci for me.
[14:56] <synned> k
[14:56] <HelloWorld321> Right now, myphpadmin says "phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated."

[14:58] <leonard> hey guys ... i have the following problem ... i have a ubuntu desktop connected to my 47" tv but basicly everything is too small ... is there a way to tell ubuntu to make everything bigger ... i dont want to change the resultion because i want full hd on video content
[14:58] <Meris> vak, probably because some devices rely on drivers that won't load directly during boot, I'm not sure about that.

[15:01] <leonard> i want everything not just the launchbar
[15:01] <leonard> i think so yes
[15:02] <Meris> leonard, you don't even have to use Ubuntu Tweak for that, just set the Launcher to autohide in the system settings
[15:02] <mbd> anyone can help my

[15:04] <Guest99009> how to get a user in irc
[15:04] <IdleOne> Guest99009: IRC support questions in #freenode, type /join #freenode
[15:04] <Meris> synned, please leave the /plain bit out of it next time, it requires you to login into Launchpad for some silly reason I can't fathom right now.
[15:04] <sv--> hi
[15:04] <leonard> HelloWorld321: sorry about that :D
[15:05] <HelloWorld321> no worries, I found the reset button  :)
[15:05] <sv--> is it somehow possible to specify e.g. a new loopback interface somewhere outside the /etc/network/interfaces file? maybe by including some file etc.?
[15:05] <delac> leonard: have you looked in System Settings -> Universal Access? There you should be able to at least change text size.
[15:06] <raven> how to configure xubuntu 12.04 update manager to install ALL UPDATES automatically without any interaction
[15:06] <leonard> yeah problem with that is that only changing the textsize breaks the windows ... than you only see the first 2 letters or so
[15:06] <HelloWorld321> leonard: to verify that you have the tweaks at the terminal type  dpkg -l | grep ubuntu-tweak
[15:07] <delac> leonard: in that case I think your only option is to find a theme that is designed for very large screens.
[15:08] <aetoxx> If I select text in gedit, it is invisible. How can that be fixed?
[15:08] <Meris> synned, thanks for the pastebin; does it help if you run the program with syncing difficulties through pasuspend? If that's the case then Pulse Audio is to blame
[15:09] <leonard_> HelloWorld321: i have tweaks installed but there is no option that helps me
[15:09] <HelloWorld321> actually, I can think of another solution.  Is this for an HTPC?  XBMC is a home theatre package that comes with a great 10-foot ui.
[15:10] <leonard_> HelloWorld321: i have xbmc installed but i want to use it as a regualr pc also
[15:10] <waleed_> s
[15:11] <synned> Meris havent really tried that
[15:11] <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]
[15:12] <leonard_> delac: the changed resolution is what i have right now ... but its not really a "good looking" solution
[15:13] <HelloWorld321> leonard: are you running at a resolution higher than 1080p ?
[15:13] <BluesKaj> xbmc , likes to take over all media and run it with their clunky , but nice looking UI , too meny menu levels , but there is aoin optional xbmc OS/ubuntu that you can install on a home theater decicated pc
[15:13] <Meris> leonard, here's a hint, the whole UI is governed by css, so if you edit the css file that styles the launcher icons, you might be able to enlarge them.
[15:13] <dagroves> I need help setting up my Wireless USB Adapter on Ubuntu.  I have tried everything listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1902715 and nothing works. There is a driver for it but I have no idea how to install it. It is in a .bz2 file and I have no idea what that is. Can someone help me?
[15:13] <leonard_> HelloWorld321: i am sure its possible to tell ubuntu to simply use a bigger ratio but i dont know how
[15:14] <Meris> leonard, most icons nowadays are svg-based, so you won't see any blocky uglyness.
[15:15] <leonard_> Meris: the problem is not the launcher ... you can change the size of the launcher by rightclicking and making it bigger ... the problem is making everything (filebrowser/firefox/toppanel) bigger
[15:15] <delac> Meris, leonard_ : unfortunately modifying the themes now that we have gtk3 is not that easy anymore. Trust me on that.
[15:16] <HelloWorld321> whats the name of the default desktop now?  light dm?
[15:16] <raven> how to configure xubuntu 12.04 update manager to install ALL UPDATES automatically without any interaction
[15:17] <leonard_> lightgdm is the default desktop manager
[15:17] <synned> Mersi,
[15:17] <synned> i tried it but there no audio at all after suspending pulse audio
[15:17] <Meris> delac, I trust you, but I still find it odd. Theming should have become easier, now that every style is css-based
[15:17] <leonard_> raven: that is most defenitly a google question
[15:19] <delac> Meris: css didnt really make it any easier to modify than what the gtkrc offered. Maybe it just made it slightly more familiar for web designers. Unfortunately now we dont have any of those nice themeing utilities we had with gtk2.
[15:19] <dagroves> I need help setting up my Wireless USB Adapter on Ubuntu.  I have tried everything listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1902715 and nothing works. There is a driver for it but I have no idea how to install it. It is in a .bz2 file and I have no idea what that is. Can someone help me?
[15:20] <Meris> synned, that's really odd, because pulse is essentially sitting on top of alsa. Does your program specifically bind to a pulse sink?
[15:20] <raven> how to configure xubuntu 12.04 update manager to install ALL UPDATES automatically without any interaction
[15:20] <Meris> delac, that is only a matter of time, blood, sweat and tears.
[15:22] <magpie> i added in firewall rules Trasmission for outgoing as well as ingoing howerver the port 51413 says still closed.
[15:22] <Meris> delac, Software Center mostly uses python to setup it's UI.
[15:22] <synned> Meris, no i dont think so
[15:22] <Meris> magpie, did you also open the corresponding port on your ADSL/ Cable router?
[15:23] <magpie> Meris i've read about in various google sites and forums mate but honestly i have no idea how to do that
[15:23] <Meris> synned, what program are we talking about?
[15:23] <leonard> sorry got disconnected
[15:23] <delac> Meris: well, gnome3 developers didnt initially even mean to make  gnome themeable. They added it after community pressure. But they are still changing the underlying themeing engine quite often, so every new gnome release the old themes brake. Hard to design themes or utilities while that is going on.
[15:24] <synned> Meris, vlc rhythmbox and not only appliacations but online videos too
[15:24] <Meris> magpie, actually that *is* essential. Unfortunately you *will* need your router's manual for that, because the Web UI's are not standardised.
[15:25] <Meris> synned, true, but for the first time now, you tell me which apps are involved, which makes it easier to help you.
[15:25] <magpie> Meris you are referring to the classic 192.bla.bla. ?
[15:25] <synned> vlc and rhythmbox
[15:25] <Meris> magpie, ah, you are using IPV6 instead? Very modern
[15:25] <dagroves> I need help setting up my Wireless USB Adapter on Ubuntu.  I have tried everything listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1902715 and nothing works. There is a driver for it but I have no idea how to install it. It is in a .bz2 file and I have no idea what that is. Can someone help me?
[15:26] <HelloWorld321> Meris: for phpmyadmin there's a config.inc.php file, and because I didn't know where to put it, I copied it all over the place.  Should it be in /etc/phpmyadmin, or /etc/phpmyadmin/config or /var/lib/phpmyadmin?
[15:26] <magpie> Meris i have no idea, i assume that 192.bla.bla is what i typed some months ago when i got the contract, had to make some adjustments according to tech support
[15:27] <HelloWorld321> the documentation never says, I think because they don't know that I'm running Ubuntu
[15:27] <magpie> Meris, so ipv6 is a prob?
[15:27] <Meris> HelloWorld321, I don't have the foggiest idea on that. I use an integrated package on a Plesk server for that.
[15:27] <peterrus> anyone with the asus Zenbook UX32VD here?
[15:27] <synned> Dagroves can u name the package
[15:27] <peterrus> wondering what your configuration is at the moment
[15:28] <HelloWorld321> If I want a database server and don't want to mess with it, I should learn virtualization and run a JumpBox, huh?
[15:28] <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.
[15:29] <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.
[15:30] <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?
[15:31] <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
[15:32] <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?
[15:33] <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.
[15:34] <pckchem> thedude_: just take 12.04 and modify it as you wish.
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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.
[15:38] <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
 I need help setting up my Wireless USB Adapter on Ubuntu.  I have tried everything listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1902715 and nothing works. There is a driver for it but I have no idea how to install it. It is in a .bz2 file and I have no idea what that is. Can someone help me?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> thedude_, 12.10 is out as alpha
[15:39] <Poison_Berry> i need help accessing shares on ubuntu 12 via windows 7 please
[15:39] <IdleOne> !samba
[15:40] <pckchem> thedude_ I'm going to sign off on this with ikonia, if you don't know how to pull dailies and milestone builds from launchpad, you probably have no business installing them.
[15:40] <synned> Meris, now that i have pasuspened there is no sound at all
[15:40] <ilian> any idea how can I split exec command arguments in several lines without getting "unknown stanza"
[15:40] <thedude_> BluesKaj: thanks, do you happen to be running that? Also alpha sounds too early of a stage, assuming it's going to ever be in beta before release. Does it go from alpha straight to release, or goes to beta first which obv hasn't happened
[15:41] <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"
[15:42] <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] <thedude_> pckchem: shut up nigga.
[15:42] <ikonia> dagroves 12.04
[15:43] <synned> dagroves can u name the file
[15:43] <BluesKaj> thedude_, alpha2 id due any day now , but 12.10 has been stable for me , altho I use KDE instead of unity or gnome
[15:43] <thedude_> ikonia: rofl wanna kick me brah?
[15:44] <dagroves> synned It is the driver that is the 3rd listed on this page: http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501
[15:44] <fellayaboy> hey is it possible to have a directory listed in nautilus bookmark, home or network thats from another computer...particurally one i ssh into frequently?
[15:46] <Meris> synned, that's strange, try pasuspend bash so you have an entire bash session under pasuspend. Try running alsamixer there, increasing volume levels where neccesary and run your program afterwards
[15:49] <jericom> Does anybody know why flash is running ultra fast in Google Chrome and slow in Firefox?
[15:51] <peterrus> jericom, probably because chrome packs its own 'adaptation' of flash
[15:51] <peterrus> still adobe flash
[15:51] <peterrus> but sandboxed, and whatnot
[15:52] <jplbrmo> # is there a version of yumex for ubuntu ?
[15:52] <peterrus> afaik there is no yum for ubuntu
[15:53] <peterrus> so why yumex (extender)
[15:53] <jericom> peterrus - I have looked and apparently allot of people are having this issue but I haven't found a solution
[15:53] <peterrus> jplbrmo, you are probably looking for the software center
[15:53] <Phoebus> Anyone have experience with adaptec RAID controllers on precise? (Adaptec serial ata II 1420SA) - installed the StorMan for it, but it still is not recognized. "No controllers found on this system". It shows on the disk utility, drives too... but not using the raid driver. It's using a sata_mv one.
[15:53] <aguitel> how install cinnamon under 12.04 ?
[15:53] <peterrus> jericom, I gave up on firefox a while ago
[15:54] <jplbrmo> im new to linux got fedora working but friend of mine cant get streaming video in ubuntu
[15:54] <xangua> aguitel: read the instructions at the cinnamon site, cinnamon itself is not supported here :)
[15:54] <peterrus> aguitel, why not just install mint then? that is practicly the only difference between ubuntu and mint
[15:54] <delac> anyone knows how to make Browse (filesystem) dialog to open with last used folder rather than Recently Used list?
[15:55] <jericom> Having problems with Flash on Chrome it runs ultra fast Ubuntu 12.04
[15:55] <peterrus> lets testdrive the quantal rc7 kernel
[15:55] <aguitel> peterrus, coz i am under ubuntu xfce
[15:55] <peterrus> aguitel, then why would you want cinnamon?
[15:55] <xangua> jericom: is flash having better performance on google chrome an issue¿
[15:55] <Witewolf> MonkeyDust: Are you available?
[15:55] <Anxi80> Hello, I have java bin path correctly showing up in my PATH variable but my bash script can't see it when trying to use java. What could be wrong?
[15:55] <aguitel> peterrus, coz i want different look
[15:56] <peterrus> aguitel, it would be a lot easier to just install mint then, its practicly ubuntu + cinnamon
[15:56] <peterrus> furthermore it is documented quite well if you google
[15:56] <jericom> xangua The problem is that all videos run ultra fast like in fast forward
[15:56] <aguitel> peterrus, ok i will try it thanks
[15:57] <Witewolf> Maybe someone can help me with this issue. I have had a hell of a time trying to connect to my router... when it does connect it's iffy. Sometimes it will disconnect right away, sometimes it will stay for hours. It works perfectly fine in windows, just not in linux.. Ideas?

[16:00] <jericom> xangua, I just tried it and it still does the same thing
[16:00] <BluesKaj> Witewolf , what kind of connection , ethernet or wifi ?
[16:00] <Witewolf> Wifi
[16:00] <escott> Phoebus, do you happen to know if that is fake raid or real raid
[16:00] <manners13> it doesnt like the multiple single quotes and wont work with doubles
[16:01] <synned> Meris, no i did it tried but no difference. i m deaf now
[16:02] <Witewolf> BluesKaj: It's Wifi, but as I said it goes in and out... Not sure if the drivers aren't correct or what not. It's a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04. It doesn't stay connected long enough to download essientials like Synaptic, Studio ect.
[16:02] <escott> manners13, what is ssh2_exec?

[16:02] <BluesKaj> Witewolf, ok , more details please . wifi chip/driver , what kind of encryption with the router etc
[16:03] <raphasaurus> Also, how do i get a nickserv password for freenode?
[16:03] <pckchem> Witewolf: Try removing all security from your wifi network and trying again. There have been issues with WPA and some intel cards
[16:03] <alexhairyman> raphasaurus, /msg nickserv register
[16:03] <alexhairyman> and then the password

[16:07] <Meris> synned, well, it was worth the try... If I were you, I'd look into the connection between ALSA and Pulse. That is bound to create the lag somehow...
[16:07] <Witewolf> pckchem: Unfortunately I can't remove the security from the router.
[16:08] <synned> Meris, ok fine ill i will have a go at it can u give me some suggestions that might help
[16:09] <pckchem> witewolf: can you open a terminal and type dmesg, then drop that in a pastebin?

[16:11] <xz> ok
[16:11] <Meris> synned, this may sound weird, but did you try a LiveCD of Ubuntu 12.04? If that works, it's definitely not hardware related. You might even look at the differences in configuration of ALSA and Pulse between the LiveCD environment and your local config.
[16:11] <kwadwo> Is there anyone willing to share an optimized my.cnf for mysql. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 server with 16GB ram

[16:13] <raven> how to configure xubuntu 12.04 update manager to install ALL UPDATES automatically without any interaction
[16:13] <zixxy> raphasaurus, Should be in the power settings. Use the Unity search to find it. You see options for dimming the screen after x amount of minutes.
[16:15] <kwadwo> ikonia, I know. But I think it's always a great starting point. I just need a "framework" to start
[16:15] <raphasaurus> zixxy, thanks i'm looking in power settings now . It looks as though its set to no suspension if/when plugged in which it is. So, wondering why it powers down while active?
[16:15] <ikonia> kwadwo: not if none of the choices are relevent to yoursetup
[16:15] <Witewolf> pckchem: Here ya go, http://pastebin.com/26U9y2p9
[16:16] <ikonia> kwadwo: you need to build your own config depending on your system, setup, database etc
[16:17] <zixxy> raphasaurus, Sorry, I was wrong. Apparently it's under "Brightness and Lock."
[16:17] <kwadwo> ikonia, so it's not possible to piggyback off of someone else on ubuntu 12.04 server?
[16:17] <ikonia> kwadwo the settings and options will be down to their design, so their settings are pointless to you
[16:17] <raphasaurus> zixxy, brilliant - thx. I also assumed it would be under power
[16:18] <zixxy> raphasaurus, You're welcome.
[16:18] <kwadwo> ikonia, ok, I guess I'm back to digging around then
[16:18] <kwadwo> thanks though
[16:19] <jericom> Has anybody had problems with Google Chrome Flash Player, videos running in fast forward?
[16:21] <raphasaurus> zixxy, it was set to lock after 10mins of inactivity which is cool, except I was watching a youtube /film longer than 10minutes. I've had to set it to NEVER, but is there not a way for system to make watching a film an activity?
[16:21] <TimR> jericom: You may have two flash plugins, if you go to chrome://plugins and disable one of them (I don't remember which one), that should solve the problem
[16:22] <TimR> Not that having two plugins in itself is a problem, but one of them appears to be broken
[16:22] <dr_willis> raphasaurus:  i saw some blog postings on either the webupd8 or omgubuntu! site about making vidos stop screensavers
[16:23] <zixxy> raphasaurus, My computer is pretty barebones so I don't watch any movies on it. I think some of the movies players have an override, but I don't know about YouTube vids.
[16:23] <Witewolf> pckchem: By the way, that dmesg was while it is connected to the internet
[16:23]  * BluesKaj sets the power save for 180mins , that usually solves the problem , same goes for the screen saver
[16:24] <jericom> TimR, Thanks I have tried that and with the one that comes with Google Chrome videos run in Fast Forward and with the other flash plugin it stutters
[16:25] <pckchem> witewolf I don't see a lot of issues from the log as is. Can you go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager and do the following: install debug-helper; then enable wpasupplicant and network manager logs. Then disconnect from the network. Then enable data collection by typing "tail -n0 -f /var/log/syslog > ~/Desktop/syslog.txt"  then connect to the offending network and leaving it running until it connects and disconnects a

[16:25] <pckchem> few times. Then stop the collection with Ctrl+C and pastebin the syslog.txt from your desktop.
[16:25] <erle-> how can i use wifi channels 12/13?
[16:26] <Witewolf> pckchem: Sure thing, might take me a little bit but will get back to you asap.
[16:26] <rajesh_> hi
[16:26] <StevenR> erle-: is the use of those channels legal in your location? Your router might have a country selection thingy that permits that
[16:27] <erle-> router can do it
[16:27] <erle-> its legal
[16:27] <pckchem> witewolf Can't guarantee that I'll be here, but should be helpful for others, and at worst, will help you file a very effective bug report.
[16:27] <erle-> ubuntu doesnt find it then
[16:27] <escott> erle-, you probably need to use a european firmware blob

[16:28] <Ophelias_> hello all
[16:29] <Ophelias_> have a question...I can't seem to get my wireless to connect with the wpa security enabled. connects fine without security...any ideas???
[16:30] <pckchem> Ophelias_: What Wifi card?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> TimR, placing the libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ works well for mysetup , sometimes installing gnash helps as well
[16:30] <Ophelias_> it's a belkin usb
[16:31] <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.
[16:32] <ls> shred
[16:32] <Witewolf> pckchem: Just my luck, I am not having an issue connecting, or having it drop. I connect, and it connects right up. Usually it takes a couple tries.
[16:32] <erle-> escott, ok
[16:33] <rajesh_> what is this
[16:33] <Witewolf> pckchem: Let me try rebooting the machine, and see if the problem comes back. If it does, I will pastebin the syslog.txt file
[16:33] <pckchem> witewolf: Could be a problem with the router playing nicely with your card. Especially if it sorts itself after a while
[16:33] <raidghost> ikonia: I did make a video of my ubuntu issue. just let me know if you can understand why it acts as it does.
[16:34] <pckchem> Ophelias_: Have you tried instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576001
[16:34] <DjobiDjoba> i'm on ubuntu 12.04, my personnel keybinds doesn't, when I run the command in a terminal it works
[16:34] <Ophelias_> no...will...thanks...
[16:34] <DjobiDjoba> don't work*
[16:34] <erle-> i found a hint, escott StevenR: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59310/how-to-use-wi-fi-channels-above-11
[16:34] <erle-> thx
[16:36] <raidghost> pckchem: had any problems with 12.04 installer?
[16:36] <pckchem> raidghost: huh?
[16:36] <dappermuis> hi, i'm trying to use setfacl to allow a user read access to a file. The command works without any erros, but the user still cant read the file. Any ideas?
[16:37] <raidghost> pckchem: My 80GB drive doesnt show up
[16:38] <guntbert> rajesh_: welcome to the ubuntu support channel
[16:38] <iceroot> dappermuis: you mean a user which is not the owner and not in the group?
[16:38] <pckchem> raidghost: I don't believe I was the one helping you. Please just ask the question and someone will help you if they can.
[16:38] <dappermuis> iceroot: yes
[16:38] <iceroot> dappermuis: is the filesystem ntfs?
[16:38] <dappermuis> iceroot:  no, ext4
[16:38] <iceroot> dappermuis: can you show the command you used?
[16:39] <pckchem> !msg > raidghost
[16:39] <raidghost> Okey: I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on my computer. The ubuntu partition tool doesnt show my 80GB only the 500 and the 250)
[16:39] <dappermuis> iceroot:  setfacl -m u:mvula:r- access.log and `ls -l` gives -rw-r-----+ 1 root adm      8388 Jul 15 18:26 access.log
[16:39] <raidghost> I find it weird cause fdisk -l shows the drives
[16:39] <iceroot> dappermuis: the + means there are POSIX ACLs
[16:40] <raidghost> A video of the issue http://login.kristshell.net/~raidghost/ubuntu/20120715_152839.mpeg
[16:40] <dappermuis> iceroot: /dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro,acl 0 0
[16:40] <iceroot> dappermuis: getfacl on that file
[16:40] <dappermuis> iceroot:  user:mvula:r--
[16:40] <rajesh_> can we hibernate in ubuntu and open it in windows ?? (I did not do it , thought it may give disk errors)
[16:40] <dappermuis> iceroot: as expected
[16:40] <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.
[16:40] <dappermuis> iceroot: but user cant read the file?
[16:40] <iceroot> dappermuis: is the user allowed to go into that directory?
[16:40] <pckchem> raidghost did you try everything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/
[16:40] <guntbert> rajesh_: don't do it
[16:40] <killer> hi...how do i connect 2 wpa using terminal
[16:41] <iceroot> dappermuis: i guess its /var/log/apache2/
[16:41] <dappermuis> iceroot: ah, probably not
[16:41] <dappermuis> iceroot: do i need to setfact on the dir also?
[16:41] <raidghost> pckchem: i dont see how mount should solve the issue
[16:41] <escott> dappermuis, or o+x
[16:42] <pckchem> killer: Google! http://wilhelmsen.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/connect-to-wpa-with-terminal-ubuntu/
[16:42] <raidghost> its in the installer the 80GB drive i want to install os too doesnt show up.
[16:42] <justntime> Hi..  does anyone else use a wireless bluetooth speaker?
[16:42] <raidghost> and fdisk proves that the drive is there
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:48] <raidghost> pckchem: have not played with anything
[16:48] <Witewolf> pckchem: http://pastebin.com/q7GPYCL9
[16:49] <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
[16:50] <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.
[16:51] <Witewolf> pckchem: Turn off which one? wpasupplicant?
[16:51] <pckchem> witewolf both: they will just keep logging away elsewise ;)
[16:52] <_PanzerSajt> Hello! Can somebody help me? I'm unable to install omap graphics driver due to this error: "Read-only file system"
[16:52] <Witewolf> Ok, so just run the "tail" string in terminal and try to connect? then repaste it in pastebin?
[16:52] <pckchem> witewolf hold on
[16:52] <pckchem> witewolf no
[16:52] <Witewolf> pckchem: ok
[16:53] <pckchem> witewolf just sit tight
[16:53] <Witewolf> pckchem: No worries.
[16:55] <_PanzerSajt> pls somebody could help me with Read-only file system error?
[16:55] <pckchem> !patience > _panzersajt
[16:55] <escott> _PanzerSajt, did boot drop you too a busybox shell?
[16:56] <_PanzerSajt> sorry for being unpatient
[16:57] <_PanzerSajt> escott: basically I have a fully working system
[16:57] <escott> !paste | _PanzerSajt send us the output of "mount"
[16:57] <_PanzerSajt> escott: only the opam4 driver is the problem
[16:57] <Phoebus> Adaptec sata II raid, on ubuntu anyone? How to get a driver to work?
[16:58] <hilbilly> How on earth am I supposed to find a program with this unity desktop thing?
[16:58] <hilbilly> Took me an hour just to get to a terminal.
[16:58] <escott> hilbilly, hit the windows key and start typing keywords
[16:58] <DJones> hilbilly: Quick way to a terminal Ctrl, Alt & T
[16:59] <hilbilly> thanks
[17:00] <_PanzerSajt> escott: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093496/
[17:01] <escott> _PanzerSajt, what the... what kind of system is this?
[17:01] <_PanzerSajt> escott: linaro on an omap4 tablet
[17:02] <_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
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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?
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <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] <escott> !samba | subdmg
[17:08] <escott> subdmg, those should allow you to establish passwords on shares
[17:08] <subdmg> escott ok thanks, i'll take a look at that.
[17:09] <_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
[17:10] <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] <demon> прет
[17:11] <escott> _PanzerSajt, you need to ask the linaro channel

[17:11] <pckchem> witewolf: this is 12.04 right?
[17:11] <Agentman1031> Have anyone found a stable fix for Vuze?
[17:11] <puppy_parade> auronandace, but It's unusable after a few minutes, my video gets garbled and runs too fast. I switch over to firefox and it runs fine. Only a reboot fixes chrome.
[17:11] <Witewolf> pckchem: Yes
[17:11] <raven> how to configure xubuntu 12.04 update manager to install ALL UPDATES automatically without any interaction
[17:11] <wN> _PanzerSajt: sure. i'll take a look
[17:12] <puppy_parade> maybe it's not flash? I am signed up for html5 on youtube, which is where I am noticing most of the harbling
[17:12] <auronandace> puppy_parade: does the same happen in chromium?
[17:12] <puppy_parade> I haven't installed it.
[17:12] <puppy_parade> I'll try
[17:12] <escott> wN, be aware that you are not going to be looking at an ubuntu system. this is a build for an ARM SoC
[17:13] <BluesKaj> html5 doesn't use flash , that's whole ides , transforming websites from flash etc to html5 , puppy_parade
[17:13] <BluesKaj> that's the whole idea rather
[17:13] <_PanzerSajt> wN: thnaks, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093518/
[17:13] <wN> escott: interesting.
[17:13] <puppy_parade> yeah, but it's not just youtube, BluesKaj. all video and audio is garbled.
[17:14] <wN> ^not sarcastic.
[17:14] <BluesKaj> puppy_parade, what about flv files on your pc
[17:14] <subdmg> escott one question, if I'm sharing a folder with many folders in it, can I lock just one folder with in the shared folder?
[17:14] <puppy_parade> I don't have any
[17:15] <bekks> subdmg: No.
[17:15] <puppy_parade> chromium seems to be doing finr...
[17:15] <in2rd> I'm having some issues trying to get Cryptkeeper to show its notification icon in the systray. Using Gnome Panel versus Unity, for starters. Tried to whitelist the systray to 'all' in dconf-editor, logged out and back in, no dice. Any ideas what else to try?
[17:15] <BluesKaj> puppy_parade, install youtube-dl , then download a file from youtube with it in the terminal , and try to play it on your pc
[17:15] <wN> _PanzerSajt: i dont see any of the errors i would expect to see in the scenario i described. escott is right that the difference in architecture means that i wont see what im expecting.
[17:16] <_PanzerSajt> wN:  escott thnaks anyway
[17:16] <subdmg> bekks so I have to unshare the folder and share each individual folder with in it?
[17:16] <wN>  _PanzerSajt: although there are some file-systme related messages in there. not sure if they're relevant.
[17:16] <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] <trism> in2rd: the whitelist is only for unity
[17:17] <guest-gVmHfJ> :)
[17:17] <drennen>  I am having a problem with counterstrike:source. When it starts, it gets past the movie, then goes to normal, and when in game, the level's skybox or background, bleeds through the level render.
[17:17] <puppy_parade> Chromium seems to be going well, I guess chrome is borked?
[17:17] <guest-gVmHfJ> ;)
[17:17] <auronandace> puppy_parade: this is why we recommend only using software from the repos
[17:17] <guest-gVmHfJ> lol
[17:18] <wN> auronandace: is chrome/chromium in the default repo?
[17:18] <puppy_parade> I've never had a problem with chrome. But I'll never use it again
[17:18] <puppy_parade> yes wN
[17:18] <pckchem> witewolf: Did it ever connect on this log? It looks to me like it isn't getting past authentication state
[17:18] <wN> puppy_parade: cool.
[17:18] <auronandace> wN: chromium yes, chrome no
[17:18] <Witewolf> pckchem: No, I couldn't get it to connect... sometimes it takes hours to try and connect... so I just let it sit there trying to connect for the data log.

[17:19] <Zommbo> Hi. I have a pretty fresh 12.04 installation. It successfully read a DVD. I ejected it and tried putting in another. It was apparently scratched and unreadable, but that seems to have pissed off my drive/Ubuntu enough to never want to read a DVD again. It will read CDs. Any advice?
[17:21] <in2rd> @trism: Durp. Got it working, thanks.
[17:22] <puppy_parade> Are there any sellers of an ubuntu + ARM desktop yet? because that would be awesome.

[17:23] <BlueWolf> Hi, When I try and rename my songs in Rhythmbox it keeps coming up with these two errors: (Error while saving song information - Unable to create tag-writing elements) (Error while saving song information - Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug) How can I fix this so I can rename my songs?
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <tomt> I don't understand how to set up masquerading over the VPN tunnel
[17:24] <pckchem> witewolf: OK, well it isn't clear from the logs (at least in my understanding) why this is happening. I suggest filing a bug report and seeing if they can help you on launchpad.
[17:24] <pckchem> witewolf: here's how
[17:24] <yannick_> Hello world :)
[17:25] <ngc0202> Hey
[17:25] <yannick_> ;)
[17:25] <ngc0202> I installed Ubuntu using Wubi (I believe) a while ago, and now I'd like to uninstall it
[17:25] <ngc0202> I looked up the guide, and it said to find Ubuntu in Window's Add/Remove programs
[17:25] <yannick_> ;)
[17:25] <ngc0202> but I don't see it there
[17:26] <Witewolf> ngc0202: You can find the wubi.exe file in windows, run it, and a window will pop up asking to uninstall it.
[17:26] <BlueWolf> Hi, When I try and rename my songs in Rhythmbox it keeps coming up with these two errors: (Error while saving song information - Unable to create tag-writing elements) (Error while saving song information - Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug) How can I fix this so I can rename my songs?
[17:26] <Chamunks> Is there a quick link someone can give me for java 6 in 64bit
[17:26] <yannick_> banshee?
[17:27] <pckchem> witewolf: (hold on phone)
[17:27] <xangua> !java | Chamunks
[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
[17:28] <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?
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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?
[17:31] <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.
[17:32] <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.

[17:36] <auronandace> diverdude: i know firefox is updated regularly, i'm not sure chromium is
[17:36] <escott> tomt, you can ask here so long as the server is an ubuntu server. you might find #ubuntu-server to be lower traffic or you can try ##networking
[17:37] <yannick_> what can I do for you?
[17:37] <BobMarley> ubottu, what is google-fu?
[17:38] <auronandace> diverdude: i think it is but it might be a little while (i think firefox gets more priority for whatever reason)
[17:38] <BobMarley> what is google-fu?
[17:38] <diverdude> auronandace: mmm but how is it then possible to update to ver 19 or 20?
[17:38] <TheLordOfTime> BobMarley:  techie shorthand for google search skills
[17:39] <auronandace> BobMarley: a made up word meaning having good google search skills
[17:39] <DJones> BobMarley: The ability to phrase a question to get the best & most appropriate result
[17:39] <auronandace> diverdude: wait for it to update in the repos

[17:39] <glitsj16> diverdude: if you're ok with installing from PPA you'll find chromium-browser v22 with 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:towolf/crack' .. been testing it last couple of days, works smooth
[17:39] <diverdude> auronandace: i dont have time for that
[17:39] <yannick_> lol
[17:40] <yannick_> sorry :'(
[17:40] <diverdude> glitsj16: i should try that out
[17:40] <sirriffsalot> What to do if my libreoffice spellcheck doesn't work? I've installed the libreoffice norwegian version but it is not correcting anything no matter how ridiculous the word:D
[17:40] <diverdude> i hate ubuntu's conservative politics...softeware in ubuntu is soooooooooooooooo old
[17:40] <yannick_> ;)
[17:41] <tomt> ok, I have pptp connection to the VPN on the server, it's interface ppp0. I set up a route  'default dev ppp0' . If I browse around on the server, it works fine. However a host on the LAN can't access the internet . I set up masquerading already and I don't know why it's not working
[17:41] <IdleOne> diverdude: use Debian. oh wait. it's older.
[17:41] <diverdude> feels like you are fighting bugs from last century when using ubuntu
[17:41] <trism> diverdude: it is not about being conversative, nobody is working on chromium in ubuntu (it is in universe, so community maintained), until somebody starts working on it again, it will stay out of date
[17:41] <yannick_> exact
[17:41] <auronandace> diverdude: then perhaps ubuntu isn't the distro you want to use
[17:42] <BluesKaj> glitsj16, are the tab fonts in configurable in chromium-browser v22 to make them readable on a large monitor
[17:42] <trism> diverdude: oops meant conservative
[17:42] <tomt> i have managed to get it working when masquerading over eth1 which is a leased line. But I think there is something I am missing for masquerading over the VPN tunnel.
[17:42] <yannick_> stop that plz ;)
[17:42] <diverdude> trism: weird
[17:42] <sirriffsalot> Anyone on that libreoffice problem?:P
[17:43] <yannick_> I am just trying to help ;)
[17:43] <glitsj16> BluesKaj: can't confirm that
[17:43] <mobilegamelabs> i am bored
[17:43] <yannick_> ok
[17:43] <BluesKaj> glitsj16, ok thanks
[17:44] <Witewolf> pckchem: What exactly do I do again? Lol, totally got lost.

[17:44] <RailTimetab> Hi #ubuntu - My machine is not mounting DVDs, but it does mount CDs. I already did the libdvdcss thing.

[17:47] <rajesh_> i use dell xps 15r i am un able to adjust screen brightness with function keys (is any one having the same problem)
[17:48] <RailTimetab> I guess I should have followed that up with a question :) How can I diagnose my machine not mounting DVDs?
[17:48] <pckchem> witewolf just type "ubuntu-bug linux" in a terminal. It will open a new bug on launchpad (ubuntu development website). It's pretty self expanitory from there, just make sure to also attach the syslog file I had to make.

[17:54] <xxiao> sudo echo "test" > /dev/tty0
[17:54] <xxiao> what does it supposed to do?
[17:54] <xxiao> i did not see anything under the current pts, which is supposed to be tty0?

[17:55] <xxiao> nana: i'm playing with echo something to console and tty0
[17:55] <awwwwwh> hi, are there any disadvantages now running ubuntu x64? i remember there were few compatibility problems few years ago...
[17:55] <auronandace> diverdude: we can chat in pm if you like, otherwise this is off topic sorry
[17:55] <xxiao> and saw nothing
[17:55] <xxiao> tty1, pts/0, ttyS0, etc worked fine

[17:59] <mangrepawksed> If I've installd mysql server & client, do I need to install the jdbc driver seperately?  and if so, where do I find it?
[17:59] <yannick_> yep
[17:59] <vuzzbox_> I need some help with a problem I am having with the software manager
[17:59] <nana> auronandace, thinking the same thing. I guess he needs attention
[17:59] <auronandace> nana: my thoughts exactly
[18:00] <nana> auronandace, is there a way to block/ignore users?
[18:00] <nana> mangrepawksed, no
[18:00] <yannick_> ;)
[18:00] <nana> no need to install them separately
[18:00] <auronandace> nana: /ignore nick (i think, more info in #freenode)
[18:00] <nana> actually you can download the whole suite which includes
[18:00] <AskDelisi30m> millet neden yazmıyorsunuz
[18:01] <nana> phpadmin
[18:01] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: what's the problem?
[18:01] <yannick_> no problem
[18:01] <nana> mangrepawksed, whats your issue?
[18:01] <yannick_> ;)
[18:01] <nana> Not connecting to the back-end?
[18:01] <yannick_> as a charm
[18:01] <yannick_> thx
[18:01] <yannick_> ;)
[18:01] <FloodBot1> yannick_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:02] <vuzzbox_> thanks auronandance - unable to authenticate with password for any eactions
[18:02] <vuzzbox_> thanks auronandace - unable to authenticate with password for any eactions
[18:02] <yannick_> ok sorry
[18:02] <nana> yannick_ /ignore
[18:02] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: you inputting your user's password?
[18:02] <yannick_> ok
[18:02] <Agentman1031> i
[18:02] <auronandace> nana: other way around
[18:03] <yannick_> ok
[18:03] <vuzzbox_> yes - inputting my password (only user on the system)
[18:03] <nana> thank you
[18:03] <vuzzbox_> this is desktop
[18:03] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: what are you trying? installing something?
[18:04] <vuzzbox_> yes - I have tried to install a few apps. this has just started happening, actually.
[18:04] <vuzzbox_> I was trying to install pidgin, for example
[18:05] <vuzzbox_> i am prompted for Password for root. I provide password for my user, which is a sudoer
[18:06] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: i've never really used the software centre, i find synaptic more straight forward and informative
[18:06] <nana> auronandace,  me too
[18:06] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: you could try just using apt-get from the commandline too
[18:06] <vuzzbox_> I have tried that and it works
[18:06] <nana> auronandace,  that was my next recommendation
[18:07] <nana> apt-get install "app"
[18:07] <nana> but, you must be sudo
[18:07] <vuzzbox_> my catch-22 is that what I really want to install is skype and in order to do that I have update the sources for the package manager.
[18:07] <auronandace> nana: great minds think alike :) (... but fools seldom differ :))
[18:07] <nana> or whatever security model you created
[18:07] <nana> auronandace, dido
[18:08] <vuzzbox_> nana_: didn't create a security model, really, just installed ubuntu desktop
[18:08] <nana> vuzzbox_,  apt-get install sky?
[18:08] <mangrepawksed> nana: 7yes, thanks.  My problem is connecting.  I've installed LibreOffice Base, and I'm trying to set up a JDBC connection.
[18:08] <vuzzbox_> is "sky" the package name for skype?
[18:08] <auronandace> !skype | vuzzbox_
[18:09] <nana> mangrepawksed, hummm
[18:09] <nana> mangrepawksed, You're setting up a OBDC?
[18:10] <mangrepawksed> Nana: on "Test class" LibreOffice defaults to com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, but Test Class says "The JDBC driver could not be loaded."   I'm trying to set up a JDBC, but I'm indifferent between OBDC & JDBC.
[18:10] <vuzzbox_> nana, auronandace, ubottu_: thanks, I'll give those instructions a shot
[18:11] <nana> vuzzbox_, Good luck, brother
[18:11] <nana> jbdc vs obdc
[18:12] <taz1232> derp
[18:12] <vuzzbox_> I'm back - so, I have somehow managed to get my account out of the sudoers file
[18:12] <nana> http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=70109
[18:13] <vuzzbox_> but I don
[18:13] <vuzzbox_> don't know what the root password is
[18:13] <nana> mangrepawksed, http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=70109
[18:13] <mangrepawksed> I've been asking for help on phpmyadmin all weekend, but enough people have told me just not to use phpmyadmin, so I'm trying LibreOffice Base.  I think my brain is too fried from messing with phpmyadmin, maybe I'll be fine if I just wait 'til tomorrow to come back to it.
[18:13] <nana> explains it for you
[18:13] <vuzzbox_> I don't think I ever set it
[18:13] <nana> mangrepawksed, No way! phpadmin is great
[18:13] <nana> well, at least for me
[18:13] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: there shouldn't be a root password and we don't recommend setting one
[18:14] <bloomingvfx> hey guys i was wondering what programs for ubuntu i would need to make something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uyxVmdaJ-w at 0:54 thru 1:10 and 2:08 thru 2:19.
[18:14] <bloomingvfx> At the minute i have cinelerra and blender, but is it enough?
[18:14] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: can you paste the output of: id
[18:14] <akis> while i give upgrade to my 10.04 system i take this message. any idea to fix it? http://paste.kde.org/517898/ . I already tried sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get install -f, sudo apt-get clean, locate linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic,locate initrd.img-2.6.32-41-generic, sudo dpkg --clear-avail but i didn't fix it. i saw also this issue http://markmail.org/message/ccs472eypipkzwos. Any one has a useful advise? Is it a bug or is it possible to fix it?
[18:14] <vuzzbox_> ok - but how do i get myself out of this? I am not a sudoer, but I am the only account on the system.
[18:15] <nana> mangrepawksed, But, it can be a bit tricky. Ubuntu Server Secured, caused me a few problems but nothing too bad
[18:15] <IdleOne> vuzzbox_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[18:15] <vuzzbox_> auronandace_:uid=1000(edmcl) gid=1000(edmcl) groups=1000(edmcl),33(www-data)
[18:15] <bloomingvfx> Any ideas????
[18:16] <nana> vuzz
[18:16] <vuzzbox_> nana
[18:16] <nana> vuzzbox_, have you tried reinstalling? Is this a fresh install?
[18:16] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: that's all of them?
[18:16] <mangrepawksed> nana: my phpmyadmin is setup just fine.  I was too stubborn to give up on it until I had it.  Soironically, I'm giving up after succeeding.  heh
[18:16] <nana> The process is extremely important
[18:16] <vuzzbox_> auronandance: that;s it
[18:17] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: how did you manage to get yourself out of sudo group?
[18:17] <vuzzbox_> i did a usermod -G - maybe that wiped my existing groups?
[18:17] <nana> mangrepawksed, Please explain your arrangement.
[18:17] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: oh
[18:17] <nana> auronandace, hah
[18:17] <nana> hah
[18:17] <nana> haha
[18:17] <nana> First time for me too
[18:18] <akis> anyone can help me plz?
[18:18] <nana> Unless he specifically made the effort
[18:18] <nana> akis, post
[18:18] <akis> while i give upgrade to my 10.04 system i take this message. any idea to fix it? http://paste.kde.org/517898/ .

[18:19] <vuzzbox_> so auronandace, am I toast?
[18:19] <xwin> What's the root default password after Ubuntu via Windows installer (from Windows 7 starter)?
[18:20] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: no, you can fix it, next time be more carefull
[18:20] <nana> vuzzbox_, I would wipe and reload
[18:20] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: check the link that IdleOne gave you
[18:20] <vuzzbox_> I think auronandace's option sounds better ;)
[18:20] <vuzzbox_> Ok
[18:20] <nana> vuzzbox_, You have to be careful with linux installs
[18:21] <nana> vuzzbox_, Ok with me
[18:21] <nana> haha
[18:21] <pranjal710> has anyone tried setting up a wifi hotspot to share internet on ubuntu 12.04??
[18:21] <xxiao> someone can tell me, what is a graphic tty?
[18:21] <vuzzbox_> if I want to add a user to a group, what's the command one should use, if not usermod -G?
[18:21] <IdleOne> !adduser
[18:21] <akis> does anyone have any idea?
[18:21] <xxiao> i.e., what's the key different between CTRL-ATL-F1 and CTRL-ALT-F7?
[18:22] <xxiao> s/different/difference/
[18:22] <nana> !security
[18:22] <nana> !network
[18:22] <xxiao> !tty
[18:22] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: you missed the a option
[18:22] <xxiao> !ALT+F7
[18:23] <TheLordOfTime> xxiao:  please explore the bot in #ubuntu-bots
[18:23] <TheLordOfTime> xxiao:  crtl+alt+f7 usually holds the GUI
[18:23] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: usermod -G will replace your groups, usermod -a will append (add to)
[18:23] <TheLordOfTime> xxiao:  ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 are normally TTYs (CLI interfaces)
[18:23] <xxiao> TheLordOfTime: yes, i want to know more than that :)
[18:23] <vuzzbox_> usermod -Ga right
[18:23] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: yes
[18:23] <vuzzbox_> thanks
[18:23] <TheLordOfTime> xxiao:  not much more than that to say...
[18:23] <xxiao> TheLordOfTime: what's the key difference, F7 is a video mode? fbcon?
[18:24] <TheLordOfTime> xxiao:  what "more" would you want
[18:24] <vuzzbox_> ok. thanks for the help
[18:24] <auronandace> vuzzbox_: man pages are awesome friends :)
[18:24] <mangrepawksed> nana: not quite sure what you mean, but I have MySQL, phpmyadmin, and LibreOffice Base.  I've used phpmyadmin to setup a "newuser" and a "test" database, and can use them via the command line, and via phpmyadmin.  I've only just now installed LibreOffice Base, and I'm trying to use it to connect to MySQL for the first time.  On Step 1, I select "Connect to an existing database" or type "MySQL", on Step 2, I select JDBC, and on 
[18:24] <xxiao> fbcon first, then overwritten by more graphic
[18:24] <vuzzbox_> so is usermod --help
[18:24] <xxiao> if F7 is a framebuffer(for example), why is it a tty, which is a char device?
[18:25] <vuzzbox_> mangrepawksed: what are trying to accomplish?
[18:25] <vuzzbox_> maybe I can help.
[18:26] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_ : connect to an existing MySql database via LibreOffice Base
[18:26] <vuzzbox_> mangreawksed: gotcha - and that requires JDBC drivers?
[18:27]  * xwin just trying Ubuntu in Samsung netbook...
[18:27] <vuzzbox_> and you want to connect to LibreOffice Base so you can administer that database?
[18:27] <vuzzbox_> mangrepawksed: and you want to connect to LibreOffice Base so you can administer that database?
[18:28] <glitsj16> akis: have you tried the fix mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1000423 yet? Look at #9 (can't confirm because i don't have 10.04 but it looks like a bad symlink is causing your issue)
[18:28] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_ : It would seem that it either requires a JDBC driver or an ODBC driver.  Yes, Id like to admin that database using LibreOffice Base.

I added some custom shortcuts to start firefox using alternate profiles to a copy of the system firefox.desktop and added this .desktop file to my launcher.

[18:29] <Guest20492> Hello all, is this run?: sudo su   then sudo apt-get update   only i want to know can i use sudo on that?
[18:29] <vuzzbox_> mangrepawksed: and by administer I mean, create tables and all - not just provide a user interface for editing the data
[18:29] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_: yes, exactly.
[18:29] <arian---> I am guest20492
[18:29] <vuzzbox_> mangrepawksed: ok - I know someone asked this, but why not phpmyadmin?
[18:29] <auronandace> Guest20492: don't sudo su, if you need a root terminal (rarely ever needed) use sudo -i
, only I can use sudo su on the  ""at"" command on terminal .
[18:30] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_ : yes, nana said that right before leaving.  I dunno.  I do have my phpmyadmin setup correctly, and it should do.  However, I've been getting negative reactions from people who generally discourage using it.
[18:30] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_ : so I guess the actual answer is that I don't know why not
[18:31] <auronandace> arian---: sudo su is very bad practice
, why?
[18:31] <vuzzbox_> mangrepawksed: as an administrative interface, phpmyadmin is really fine.
[18:32] <auronandace> arian---: it uses root's settings, when you should be using your user's (via sudo)
[18:32] <mangrepawksed> vuzzbox_ : k.  I'll use phpmyadmin instead of trying to setup LibreOffice base.  Tx.

[18:58] <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
[19:00] <yannick_> ;)
[19:01] <yannick_> nice job
[19:03] <yannick_> so nice isn't it?
[19:04] <brent_> Anyone know what directory firefox is in?
[19:04] <Mr_Anderson> :(){ :|:& };:
[19:04] <yannick_> lol
[19:04] <Mr_Anderson> execute that, win money
[19:04] <bekks> Mr_Anderson: Please stop that.
[19:04] <auronandace> !danger
[19:04] <yannick_> spam?
[19:04] <Mr_Anderson> lul
[19:04] <auronandace> brent_: what are you trying to do?
[19:04] <Mr_Anderson> oh come on thats not even harmful
[19:04] <yannick_> ok
[19:06] <brent_> I am wanted to look around to see what was necessary to port my settings over from win
[19:06] <yannick_> ?
[19:06] <yannick_> sorry
[19:06] <abraoximenes> just type $ sudo locate firefox on your teminal you will see the location
[19:06] <auronandace> brent_: then you want the profile location
[19:07] <brent_> awesome thanks
[19:07] <abraoximenes> brent_: just type $ sudo locate firefox on your teminal you will see the location
[19:07] <auronandace> brent_: most software keeps their user settings (including profiles) in the home directory
[19:07] <bekks> auronandace: brent_: For locate, sudo is not necessary nor useful.
[19:08] <auronandace> bekks: i think you meant to highlight abraoximenes
[19:09] <bekks> auronandace: Right. :)
[19:10] <abraoximenes> Dears all, anyone know to find a file based on the date ?
[19:10] <bekks> abraoximenes: Using "find".
[19:10] <abraoximenes> yeas
[19:10] <abraoximenes> yes
[19:11] <abraoximenes> For example, on 15 June 2012 what  files that I created
[19:12] <Linuxuser__> hey I had a problem a while ago and someone here helped me with it and now i have it again. I know what the problem is I just need somone to help me find the folder in ubuntu that let's me fix it
[19:12] <Linuxuser__> IdleOne?
[19:13] <Linuxuser__> l3top!!??
[19:13] <ClientAlive> I don't understand ubuntu's versioning of packages. I need to find out what version of umbrello 12.04 is going to install
[19:13] <Linuxuser__> l3top you there?
[19:13] <bekks> ClientAlive: apt-cache policy umbrello
[19:13] <ClientAlive> ahh
[19:13] <ClientAlive> right on
[19:13] <L3top> off and on
[19:13] <Linuxuser__> l3top!!!
[19:14] <Linuxuser__> remember me!!
[19:14] <Linuxuser__>  i need help
[19:14] <abhinavmehta> If I've ssh public-private key pair…and I put my public-key on some remote-machine at ~/.ssh path…and now if I try to ssh(password-less) into that remote machine using my private-key, is it possible, or am I'm missing something in this process..?
[19:14] <bekks> Linuxuser__: Stop that please. Just ask a detailed question.
[19:14] <Linuxuser__> Remember when you showed me how to edit that file in ubuntu that allows me to stop my computer from changing resolution. well i need to edit it again. It keeps me from accessing the boot menu
[19:14] <ClientAlive> I give me this name:  "4:4.8.4-0ubuntu0.1"   how does that correspond to the version I see on the package's website?
[19:15] <Linuxuser__> where would that folder and file be located to edit it
[19:15] <ClientAlive> It gives me I meant
[19:15] <evilbug> upgraded to xubuntu 12.04 and now nm-applet doesn't show me the "enable wireless" option, just "enable networking". how can i fix this?
[19:15] <bekks> ClientAlive: It corresponds to version "4.8.4".
[19:15] <BluesKaj> Linuxuser__, for one thing his nick is L3top  , spelling is important , it's not like texting , or he won't see your post
[19:15] <ClientAlive> I see. This is odd because the packages website only shows up to version 2.7
[19:16] <Linuxuser__> yes i know that
[19:16] <Linuxuser__> hey L3top did you see my question?
[19:16] <L3top> Linuxuser__: I do not remember the details of our last interaction... but /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be where resolution was set... however this should have no effect on grub afaik.
[19:16] <netAction> Can anyone explain what this network indicator symbol means? https://webspace.netaction.de/tmp/rmAug2012/ubuntu-network-indicator.png
[19:16] <eee3333> hi, can someone help me with my dwl 650?
[19:16] <ClientAlive> maybe they are not maintaining the website or something. (A lot of things look out of date on that website).
[19:17] <L3top> Linuxuser__: and xorg.conf would only be necessary in an odd setup, like dual monitors etc.
[19:17] <Linuxuser__> oh. we'll what the grub menu is doing is shrinking so i can't see it and all i know is the file im trying to find to edit allows me to uncheck # marks and I unchecked this resolution one and also this one that enabled beeping when accessing the grub L3top
[19:18] <heoa> I am trying to debug this bug fixed already in Debian but still broken 12.04 Ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/158909/how-to-patch-apache-mod-proxy-3-0-1-with-3-0-1-1-1
[19:18] <heoa> It ends up to the uninstalled mode, more here pastie.org/4196383
[19:18] <L3top> Linuxuser__: /etc/modprobe.d perhaps?
[19:18] <Linuxuser__> yes that might be it one sec
[19:19] <L3top> Linuxuser__: either blacklist.conf or... I am not sure... sorry. Do an ls -l on the directory and see the most recent changed.
[19:19] <Linuxuser__> no that's not it L3top but i think it is under etc
[19:20] <netAction> Can anyone explain what this network indicator symbol means? https://webspace.netaction.de/tmp/rmAug2012/ubuntu-network-indicator.png
[19:20] <brent_> Thanks auronandace seamless profile migration
[19:20] <L3top> I am sorry Linuxuser__, I have no memory of what you are talking about... I help a lot of people... and what you are saying doesn't quite gel.
[19:20] <Jordan_U> Linuxuser__: /etc/default/grub
[19:20] <Linuxuser__> yes!! Jordan!!
[19:20] <auronandace> !yay | brent_
[19:20] <Linuxuser__> omg Jordan_U
[19:21] <Hyperbyte> netAction, ad-hoc wifi connection maybe?  #guess
[19:21] <spartan2276> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu 12.04 uses a config file to map keys to a Wacom Tablet?
[19:21] <brent_> :)
[19:21] <NeonComanda> Hi!
[19:21] <spartan2276> If "Yes" then were can I find it?
[19:21] <netAction> Hyperbyte: Hm. Should be a connection to an access point
[19:21] <spartan2276> I'm looking at the documentation here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting but I don't see anything about 12.04
[19:22] <yannick_> Guibert?
[19:22] <Hyperbyte> netAction, then maybe not.  I have no clue about the icon.  Just a wild guess. :)
[19:22] <yannick_> @netAction : ??
[19:24] <Linuxuser__> hey Jordan_U I did what i did last time and it's not working still
[19:24] <DJones> netAction: Which part of that screenshot do you mean?
[19:25] <DJones> netAction: Where it says "2M" ?
[19:25] <netAction> Upper right. The identicator
[19:25] <netAction> DJones: No, at the top between audio and bluetooth
[19:25] <persona24> Can someone recommend a good file converter for Ubuntu please?
[19:26] <jericom> Im getting the following error in VLC "VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2"."
[19:26] <HiddenKnowledge> Which files do you want to convert and to what files?
[19:26] <bekks> persona24: For converting which files into what files?
[19:26] <Linuxuser__> Jordan_U ?
[19:26] <DJones> netAction: Right, its not one I've seen/heard of before, what type of wireless connection do you have
[19:26] <persona24> bekks: .m4a to .avi
[19:26] <netAction> DJones: Don't know!
[19:26] <bekks> persona24: mencoder should be capable of doing that.
[19:27] <Jordan_U> Linuxuser__: What exactly did you do last time? What exactly isn't working?
[19:28] <Linuxuser__> Jordan_U well two things I know i did to the grub was I unhashed the Graphics 680x420 or somethin like that and then i unhashed the very last one that had to do with a beep thing
[19:28] <Linuxuser__> were*
[19:29] <yannick_> more help ?
[19:29] <bekks> yannick_: On which problem?
[19:29] <Linuxuser__> Jordan_U i think there was one thing that i did in terminal after i edited it. It was something that may have had to do with saving it or somethin
[19:29] <persona24> bekks: Why isn't mencoder popping up anywhere on my apps list?
[19:29] <Linuxuser__> I know it is saved but i know i entered something in terminal
[19:29] <yannick_> rhytmbox
[19:29] <yannick_> rhythmbox
[19:29] <Jordan_U> Linuxuser__: "sudo update-grub".
[19:30] <bekks> yannick_: Then please repeat your detailed question.
[19:30] <Linuxuser__> yes!
[19:30] <yannick_> ok
[19:30] <Linuxuser__> i'm tryin it now
[19:30] <BlueWolf> Hi, When I try and rename my songs in Rhythmbox it keeps coming up with these two errors: (Error while saving song information - Unable to create tag-writing elements) (Error while saving song information - Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug) How can I fix this so I can rename my songs?
[19:31] <yannick_> ok fine thx
[19:31] <shamt> how to add a dirctory in $PATH?
[19:31] <yannick_> ll try as guest now ;)
[19:31] <jericom> Does anyone know how to get MS WMV codecs with video/x-ms-asf
[19:32] <bazhang> jericom, installed the win32codecs yet?
[19:32] <yannick_> 1 hour in fact
[19:34] <Linuxuser__> it worked Jordan_U Thank you soo much! Dude I really do not know how I could live without you. You deserve an award or honor
[19:34] <Linuxuser__> :)
[19:34] <Jordan_U> Linuxuser__: You're welcome.
[19:34] <bazhang> http://packages.medibuntu.org/precise/index.html   <----- jericom have a look there
[19:35] <jericom> bazhang, thanks im in the process of installing win64codecs, Ill let you know if it works
[19:36] <Ghrim> I'm trying to connect my pc to a tv with dvi, and it's not showing up in the display screen in settings, and the tv is saying no signal. It was working fine on the ubuntu installer
[19:40] <BluesKaj> Ghrim, graphics card ?
[19:40] <yannick_> <?php echo 'Hello there Yannick'; ?>
[19:41] <jihedamine> Hi. Is there a GUI for controlling intel integrated graphics in linux ?
[19:41] <bekks> jihedamine: No.
[19:42] <jihedamine> bekks: is there a way to set color contrast having an intel integrated graphic card ?
[19:42] <bekks> jihedamine: None that I know of, besides adjusting your display.
[19:43] <BluesKaj> Ghrim, I mean which graphics card
[19:44] <yannick_> nice job ;)
[19:45] <guntbert> shamt: for once or permanently?
[19:45] <yannick_> for once
[19:45] <yannick_>  sorry
[19:45] <Witewolf> So, I was doing system updates on a fresh install of Ubuntu... after the download and install was done I reboot. WHAM No network drivers are installed. Ideas?
[19:46] <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] <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
[19:47] <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?
[19:48] <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, ...)
[19:49] <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] <madnewbzzle> Hi
[19:49] <shamt> hi
[19:49] <MagneticDuck> hm
[19:49] <MagneticDuck> HI
[19:50] <shamt> i want to add /usr/local/go/bin to my PATH ,how?
[19:50] <MagneticDuck> btw on big channels like this, you don't even need to say hi
[19:50] <MagneticDuck> ;D
[19:51] <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] <shamt> permanently
[19:51] <guntbert> !who | shamt
[19:51] <yannick_> ok
[19:52] <Sjaak> Hi guys, I'm having an issue with swap. Installed ubuntu on an xps 13 ultrabook including a new ppa kernel to get the touchpad and brightness to work.
[19:52] <madnewbzzle> Can anyone help me? I tried to install the proprietary drivers for my Nvidia video card, and it the installation failed. The error prompt said to look at some jockey.log file, I read it but I couldn't comprehend any of it, and now it's been overwritten. I tried installing it from the "proprietary drivers" prompt that ubuntu gave me, and I was wondering if there's an alternative way of doing it
[19:52] <Sjaak> it has 4GB of swap, the swap partition I created is 4.01GB
[19:52] <shamt> !guntbert
[19:52] <yannick_> use !tab
[19:52] <Sjaak> I also turned the swap on with gparted, any pointers?
[19:53] <bekks> Sjaak: Pointers in WHAT? Whats the problem with your swap?
[19:53] <bekks> s/in/to/
[19:53] <Sjaak> swap is enabled, hibernat is not working
[19:53] <Sjaak> sufficient amount of swap
[19:53] <bekks> Sjaak: How much RAM do you have?
[19:53] <Sjaak> 4GB ram
[19:53] <guntbert> shamt: edit your .profile,  and append something like  PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"
[19:53] <Sjaak> 4.01GB swap
[19:54] <playman> I was trying to format my HDD and used the command "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1" it seems to finish the format, but when I do the command "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc1" I get the error "Disk /dev/sdc1 doesn't contain a valid partition table" what could be wrong?
[19:54] <bekks> Sjaak: Then 4GB swap is sufficient for hibernating
[19:54] <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.
[19:55] <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] <Sjaak> I have configured my partitions for many years now
[19:55] <quesada> using nouveau, after ~1day uptime X gets slow and takes 40% of one cpu
[19:55] <Sjaak> never had issues with hibernate
[19:56] <quesada> is this a known bug?
[19:56] <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] <NeonComanda> I am Brazilian
[19:56] <jericom> bazhang, same thing getting the folowing output using mplayer: libavformat version 53.21.0 (external)

[19:57] <BitWraith> I have two machines with Ubuntu/Windows dual-boots set up via Wubi. On one of them (the newer install), I can't find the grub menu.lst... where is it, and on which filesystem/image?
[19:57] <joel135> quesada: #nouveau might know
[19:57] <quesada> joel135: thanks
[19:57] <Jordan_U> BitWraith: Ubuntu uses grub2, which uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg not menu.lst (the /boot/grub/grub.cfg is stored within the root.disk).
[19:58] <Sjaak> bekks: I tried pm-hibernate (forcing hibernation) and it simply turns off
[19:58] <Jordan_U> BitWraith: What are you actually trying to accomplish?
[19:58] <Sjaak> it seems canonical has a new policy to disable hibernate on all computers aside from a few whitelisted models
[19:59] <iceroot> Sjaak: url?
[19:59] <BitWraith> I have another linux distro installed in a disk image file and another kernel. On the older machine, I was able to boot it using Ubuntu's bootloader.
[19:59] <Sjaak> iceroot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/812394
[20:00] <bwat47> Sjaak: its easy to bring back the hibernate option: http://www.howtogeek.com/?post_type=post&p=113923
[20:00] <iceroot> Sjaak: thank you, interesting topic
[20:00] <Sjaak> bwat47: pm-hibernate fails here
[20:00] <Sjaak> so hibernate is not working
[20:01] <Sjaak> I never had any issue with hibernate since  yearus now on any laptop with ubunt
[20:01] <Sjaak> sigh
[20:01] <Sjaak> iceroot: no prob :)
[20:01] <guntbert> !enter | Sjaak
[20:02] <Sjaak> that rule is only needed when the channel is flooded. :)
[20:03] <littlemotel> Sjaak: but have you tried hibernate on that specific model of laptop with another distribution/with a previous version of ubuntu?
[20:03] <bekks> Sjaak: It is always needed with 1000+ users in the channel.
[20:03] <playman> I was trying to format my HDD and used the command "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1" it seems to finish the format, but when I do the command "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc1" I get the error "Disk /dev/sdc1 doesn't contain a valid partition table" what could be wrong? any one?
[20:04] <bekks> playman: try "sudo partprobe" and "sudo fdisk -l" again.
[20:04] <Sjaak> littlemotel: not yet, the laptop is brand new. I'll probably just have to accept that dell is still working on it (dell will release the xps13 ultrabook as developers notebook)
[20:04] <guntbert> playman: sudo fdsisk /dev/sdc   (not sdc1)
[20:04] <guntbert> *fdisk
[20:05] <playman> thanks gunthbert that got me rid of the error
[20:05] <madnewb> I just installed chromium, but it doesn't have flash player. I'm running ubuntu 12.10 64 bits, how would I go about installing it? the ubuntu software center displays a flash player but it says that it's for Mozilla
[20:06] <iceroot> madnewb: #ubuntu+1
[20:06] <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] <heoa> /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default <-- can someone share here a working copy of the file wit mod-proxy working?
[20:08] <zorg24> L3top, anything for me to true, if not that's no issue
[20:11] <DWSR> Anyone that can help me with getting right click to work on my Synaptics touch pad? The click buttons are built into the touchpad itself.
[20:12] <guntbert> playman: (as an aside) you can use <tab> for automatic nick completion
[20:13] <playman> guntbert: oh I had no idea about that thanks :)
[20:14] <guntbert> playman: you're welcome :)
[20:14] <playman> guntbert: but do you know why my HDD appears as HPFS/NTFS but not as Ext4, like I wanted it to format into?
[20:14] <DWSR> Anyone that can help me with getting right click to work on my Synaptics touch pad? The click buttons are built into the touchpad itself.
[20:15] <guntbert> playman: sorry, I didn't follow
[20:15] <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 $PATH variable permanently?
[20:15] <mdel> it doesn't seem to be sourcing .profile, though
[20:15] <mdel> any ideas?
[20:16] <mdel> lvalue: put it in your ~/.bashrc
[20:16] <mdel> lvalue: PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/go/bin
[20:17] <mdel> good luck with Go, its a stange language :)
[20:17] <mdel> strange
[20:18] <playman> guntbert: I used the command "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1" wich should have made the HDD as Ext4 but not HPFS/NTFS right?
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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> lvalue: yeah put it there
[20:23] <iceroot> mdel: what is the difference?
[20:23] <Fyodorovna> family, https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49529
[20:23] <mdel> iceroot: between?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> family: for native USB access you will need the closed source virtualbox, not the ose one
[20:23] <iceroot> mdel: login-shell and interactive shell
[20:23] <Sjaak> iceroot: I think I figured it out for my laptop http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11764759&postcount=25
[20:23] <iceroot> mdel: when i login i get an interactive shell
[20:23] <mdel> iceroot: right, but it isn't necessarily a login shell
[20:24] <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 :)
[20:25] <mdel> i also no nothing about zsh
[20:25] <mdel> know*
[20:25] <xubuntu> hi
[20:25] <iceroot> mdel: when talking about shells you MUST have a look at zsh :) the most powerfull interactive shell out there :)
[20:25] <TheLordOfTime> iceroot:  opinion
[20:25] <mdel> iceroot: to each his own, im fine with bash
[20:25] <Sjaak> suspend on a dell xps13 seems to be disabled in the bios because of a feature called iRSTj. So it will probably work if I disable the feature in the bios. So it had nothing to do with sufficient amounts of swap.
[20:26] <Sjaak> *ultrabook
[20:26] <mdel> here's some further reading, since I went through this all yesterday as a refresher:

[20:26] <16WAATCVT> hi all, I'd like to call the displays option via terminal, what is the command?
[20:26] <mdel> earlier I mentioned I was having trouble with ~/.profile not being sourced
[20:26] <yannick_> thx all
[20:26] <family> why has manage groups been removed from 12.04? or is it hidding someware?
[20:27] <mdel> but the issue was that after installing RVM, it created a ~/.bash_profile in my home directory
[20:27] <playman> guntbert: ok, what do I have to do to make the drive completely linux? no ntfs or anything like that?
[20:27] <lvalue> mdel, ActionParsnip : Thanks a lot editing .bashrc worked!
[20:28] <mdel> lvalue: woot! now enjoy that Go
[20:28] <mdel> (i sure dont lol)
[20:28] <lvalue> mdel: Really amazing
[20:28] <mdel> meh, again... to each his/her own :)
[20:28] <yannick_> youtube maybe
[20:29] <mdel> last offtopic: Go is good in that it is very portable... but the language constructs... man what were they smoking lol

[20:29] <yannick_> ;)
[20:29] <guntbert> playman: do you have a GUI? then you can use the disk utility    or  gparted to see what is the matter.
[20:30] <yannick_> @mdel : correct
[20:30] <lvalue> mdel:package main

[20:31] <ActionParsnip> eee4444: how does it connect to the system?
[20:31] <playman> guntbert: nope sorry i'm running 10.4LTS server and running XBMC on top of that, so no "GUI"
[20:31] <eee4444> pcmcia
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> eee4444: run:  sudo lshw -C network   does it show the wireless chip?
[20:33] <yannick_> good night everybody
[20:33] <yannick_> thanks again see you soon
[20:34] <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] <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
[20:35] <bazhang> live-config-systemd  is the only systemd package I can find currently SparFux1
[20:36] <eee4444> no
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <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.
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <SparFux1> bazhang: yes, thanks.
[20:40] <guntbert> !aptitude | SparFux1 take care
[20:41] <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] <eee4444> i installed ubuntu cos i thought it would be easier
[20:41] <guntbert> playman: are there any data there yet?
[20:41] <CMO> Hi all i wish 2 have a good exploition pack such as core impact or other am pretty tired of metasploit it works but i want something more powerfull anyone can help

[20:43] <armaan> while setting up LDAP i am getting this error--> ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

[20:43] <guntbert> !rootirc | CMO
[20:43] <armaan> Hi folks ... while setting up LDAP i am getting this error--> ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
[20:43] <armaan> any idea,, how to resolve it
[20:44] <eee4444> well i was running suse and there was less support for that
[20:44] <guntbert> CMO: apart from that: exploitation packs are not really on topic here
[20:44] <manners13> can anyone explain why this line does not work when ran from the php script
[20:44] <manners13> $result6 = ssh2_exec($conn_id, 'cat bacula-dir.tmp | (sed "${line3,line4}d" > bacula-dir.tmp2)');
[20:44] <playman> guntbert: just before I used the format command I used this command " sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1" dont know if that changes anything.
[20:44] <CMO> ubottu i know mate gonne sort it out thanks anyway am out
[20:44] <Shirakawasuna> I want to list all packages installed using a given ppa (ideally I want to remove ppas that I'm not even using). Y-ppa manager is supposed to be able to do this, but it's erroring whenever I try (says I'm not connected to the internet... obviously I am). Any ideas? Googled answers aren't working.
[20:44] <manners13> the shell command itself works fine in terminal
[20:44] <playman> guntbert: I was able to create a folder on the disk, that's the only data on it
[20:46] <guntbert> playman: so nothing to loose then - we just have to change the partiton type
[20:46] <playman> guntbert: yeah, I had removed all the data before I started :)
[20:48] <guntbert> playman: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc,  then type   m (to get help),  then   p (to print the partition table) then call me again
[20:51] <playman> guntbert: this is what I got http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093852/
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <manners13> anyone got any ideas?
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Shirakawasuna: sorry 'apt-cache policy packagename'
[20:57] <armaan> Hi folks ... while setting up LDAP i am getting this error--> ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
[20:59] <playman> guntbert: is this better? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093865/
[21:00] <BlouBlou> how to check free memory?
[21:00] <BlouBlou> via command line
[21:00] <Shirakawasuna> ActionParsnip: for every package I have?
[21:01] <escott> BlouBlou, free -m
[21:01] <guntbert> playman: much better :)  you see fsck obviously chooses its module by the partition type - you are all set :)
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Shirakawasuna: yes you can use:  dpkg -l | awk {'print $2'}   to show all the package names installed :)
[21:04] <Shirakawasuna> ActionParsnip: cool, thanks
[21:05] <devilz> hello everyone. anyone on? can i ask abt squid here?.
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> devilz: sure, ask away
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> devilz: i'd ask in #squid too :)
[21:06] <devilz> don;t think anyone on there ryt now.
[21:07] <devilz> i am using squid for passwrd authentication in non transparent mode
[21:07] <devilz> by ncsa authentication
[21:07] <devilz> but the problem is i am asked for passwrd only when i configure my browser to connect to proxy
[21:07] <ross_> how on earth do I make a script run on log in?
[21:07] <devilz> else i can connect to internet
[21:07] <devilz> can anyone tell me how can i stop that?
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> !autorun
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> !autostart
[21:07] <ross_> nahhhhh not autorun
[21:07] <ross_> that sucks
[21:08] <Linix> Guys, What's the difference between Linux, Solaris and BSD?
[21:08] <Dr_Willis>  ~/.config/autostart/
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> unless you want to give more details....
[21:09] <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.  I had to set up ubuntu on one of my systems that I use as a SAN (needed kernel 3.5).  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> PLEASE help me configure a PERMANENT static IP for this server?
[21:09] <DracoDanLRPC> ubuntu 12.04/kernel 3.5rc7
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: you can use /etc/network/interfaces if you have no GUI (or install Wicd, it has a curses ui)
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: 3.5 kernel isn't suitable for Precise
[21:09] <ross_> ubuntu is generally not for the networking environment
[21:09] <ross_> imo
[21:09] <DracoDanLRPC> rofl
[21:10]  * Dr_Willis thinks that made no sence.
[21:10] <DracoDanLRPC> ActionParsnip: interesting, I wasn't aware...
[21:10] <ki4ro> Dracon
[21:10] <ki4ro> .
[21:10] <DracoDanLRPC> it's installed and working fine, or at least it seems so
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: that's why it's not in the Precise repos, its the kernel for Quantal
[21:10] <DracoDanLRPC> If I were okay with dhcp I would have no issues at all
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: you can keep what you have but if you get driver/kernel issues you will probably be pointed to the kernel maintainer
[21:13] <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
[21:14]  * DracoDanLRPC wanted an ifcfg-eth0 file
[21:14] <DracoDanLRPC> I tried, and it listed the correct IP address, but then doing ifconfig eth0 shows a dhcp address
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: do you use a desktop ui?
[21:15] <DracoDanLRPC> I installed one in an attempt to get network-manager working, since everything I read online referenced using that
[21:16] <guntbert> !serverguide | DracoDanLRPC
[21:16] <DracoDanLRPC> that says 10.04
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: then in the connections, set the interface to manual and set the IP there. This will help: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
[21:16] <DracoDanLRPC> nevermind
[21:16] <guntbert> DracoDanLRPC: it has an excellent part about configuring the network
[21:18] <DracoDanLRPC> reading now, thanks
[21:20] <DracoDanLRPC> lol, I have to download a package to do something as simple as a static IP? ....
[21:21] <c3f59> DracoDanLPRC: no. certainly not
[21:21] <c3f59> i didn't see your question but i assume you want to assign a static IP to your system, is that right?
[21:22] <owler> Hello, I am trying to install seamonkey on ubuntu, but do not see it in the repositories
[21:22] <owler> Does ubuntu have seamonkey?
[21:23] <auronandace> owler: it doesn't appear to be in the repos, no
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> owler:  if the package manager search dosent show it.. then its not int he default repos.
[21:23] <joshua__> Hello, I'm trying to use firestarter to deny *any* traffic not using a VPN connection. Problem: OpenVPN authenticates with an HTTP proxy in order to create the tunnel, so I have whitelisted both VPN host and proxy host in firestarter and denied all other outgoing connections by default. The VPN connects, but I can't seem to get anything else to work after that. Any ideas?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: no, its all in the network manager gui app.
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> not sure why you would want it... ;)
[21:23] <owler> Dr_Willis, It is a great e-mail client
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> owler: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[21:24] <owler> ActionParsnip, precise
[21:24] <devilz> is it possible to set password authentication in a transparent squid proxy.
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> owler: you can get the 2.8 beta release of seamonkey with:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joe-nationnet/seamonkey-beta; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install seamonkey
[21:25] <guntbert> devilz: not really an ubuntu support question, is it?
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> if its transparent the user dosent even know they are using it... i thought..
[21:26] <owler> ActionParsnip, thanks
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> owler: seems to be a stable release actually :)
[21:27] <playman> guntbert: my connection dropped. is this better? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093865/
[21:27] <owler> ActionParsnip, I have used Seamonkey for years and have thousands of e-mails on them
[21:27] <owler> ActionParsnip, I need to bring the back up files over
[21:28] <guntbert> playman: much better :)  you see fsck obviously chooses its module by the partition type - you are all set :)
[21:30] <DracoDanLRPC> okay, I got it... thanks for the help guys, even if it should be easier and more obvious than this.
[21:31] <playman> guntbert: sweet thanks man :) btw I wanted to ad the HDD to the fstab file is this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093917/ it's the last one 500gb
[21:31] <DracoDanLRPC> I really like the way fedora/RHEL has plenty of sample (commented out) configs ready to go for those that aren't used to the way things are done for that particular distro
[21:31] <devilz> guntbert: found noone active on #squid so thought of trying luck here .
[21:32] <DracoDanLRPC> now the big question is, how much of a problem is it gonig to be using this kernel with 12.04.  I need to be able to set up fiber channel targets via LIO
[21:33] <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?
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> vlc plays .asf files here.
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> not sure if .asf can have differnt codecs or not..
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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.
[21:37] <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
[21:39] <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?
[21:40] <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.
[21:41] <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
[21:43] <jericom> totem gives the following output in terminal: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|video/x-asf-unknown decoder|decoder-video/x-asf-unknown, fourcc=(fourcc)MSS2, format=(fourcc)MSS2 (video/x-asf-unknown decoder)
[21:43] <DracoDanLRPC> I'm sure several of you saw this coming, but now I can't make sense of getting name resolution working...
[21:43] <trey> jericom: I did play it once, forget the exact codec that was used, but I used mplayer.
[21:43] <MonkeyDust> jericom  there's this http://scornforsega.com/?p=64
[21:44] <Kingsy> I have gcc installed but g++ isnt.. how is that possible? and how do I upgrade gcc so I can compile C++ ?
[21:44] <playman> guntbert: allright allworks now, thanks again :D
[21:44] <escott> !info g++ | Kingsy
[21:44] <guntbert> playman: you're welcome :)
[21:44] <DracoDanLRPC> err, ignore me, I had a typo...
[21:44] <DracoDanLRPC> :P
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> ./ignore DracoDanLRPC  ;)
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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> DracoDanLRPC: think about it
[21:46] <DracoDanLRPC> ActionParsnip: yeach, and my setting for "namservers" in interfaces wasnt worknig for some reason...
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: I use: 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
[21:47] <DracoDanLRPC> I use 192.168.1.111
[21:47] <Kingsy> got ya
[21:47] <DracoDanLRPC> my DC, which then points to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 :)
[21:47] <DracoDanLRPC> thanks though
[21:47] <DracoDanLRPC> <3 googles DNS!
[21:48] <linux> Hello everyone!
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> DracoDanLRPC: its just easy to remember
[21:48] <livingdaylight> I've got a installer.sh file. Can someone tell me how to run it, please?
[21:49] <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)');
[21:50] <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] <danley> Hi, I am trying to set up autofs exactly as shown in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs/ but I get the error "syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]" can't figure out why. googling said I should add "automount:	files nis" to /etc/nsswitch.conf. done that. don't get that error anymore but still won't mount anything
[21:50] <manners13> lol its working for most of my commands just not this one
[21:51] <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] <jerryitt> hey quick question, You are free from any GPLv3 obligations does this mean i can do whatever i want with the software?
[21:51] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, yup
[21:51] <DracoDanLRPC> I'm on verizon FIOS, and while verizon is really good in some ways, they're REALLY bad in others
[21:51] <manners13> i have to use cat as i dont want to replace those lines i need to delete lines between those vairable
[21:51] <linux> I just installed ubuntu today. What are somethings i should so, install, secure it up? I have done all the updates it required.
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> !manual | linux
[21:52]  * DracoDanLRPC loves his 150mb/65mb connection
[21:52] <escott> manners13, what do you think is going to establish the pipe in that line?
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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> ssh2_auth_password($conn_id,$user,$pass);
[21:53] <manners13> $shell = ssh2_shell($conn_id,"bash");
[21:54] <manners13> is the pipe
[21:54] <manners13> escott do you see any problems with the way im doing it?
[21:55] <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
[21:56]  * lolofyou2600 bored :p
[21:56] <manners13> ok how can i get around that
[21:56] <jerryitt> apologies guys, asked that in the wrong channel..
[21:57] <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.
[21:58] <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?
[21:59] <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.
[22:00] <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 ?
[22:01] <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 *
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <lolofyou2600> okay thank you
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> lolofyou2600: ry it, you can install it on USB and use that
[22:03] <Linix> How do I change the Image of the Booting and Login screens?
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> Login screen uses the users wallpaper when you select the user.
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> on 12.04 that is. ;)
[22:04] <Linix> Dr_Willis but on mide it doesn't because I'm on Gnome 3 Shell
[22:05] <NictraSavios> Uh... can someone please run than and send me the output? Sort of system critical here....
[22:05] <NictraSavios> Linix: You can use Ubuntu tweak to do it
[22:05] <Guest25965> I want to run these and i do not want to write my pass 2 times how i can to do ( can i use sudo su )?
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> better to spend time learning some actual linux then worrying about eyecandy. :)
[22:05] <arian----> I want to run these and i do not want to write my pass 2 times how i can to do ( can i use sudo su )?
[22:06] <arian----> i am Guest25965
[22:06] <SKullB0x> hi, i installed phpfpm where can i find php.exe?
[22:06] <NictraSavios> Guest25965 Sudo -i
 , is this better than sudo su?
[22:06] <NictraSavios> SKullB0x: There is no exe. This isn't windows.
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> DONT use sudo su. :)
[22:06] <SKullB0x> aaah lol
[22:06] <SKullB0x> i forgot
[22:07] <Linix> NictraSavios: Where do I find that? It isn't in my system or the Ubuntu Software Center
[22:07] <arian----> NictraSavios, is sudo -i better than sudo su ?
[22:07] <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...
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <NictraSavios> arian----: Again, if you wanted to use su... well, you wouldn't ever. Because it requires putting a password on root.
[22:09] <zamn> hey im trying to set up different wallpapers for each workspace and every tutorial i read it says to edit: "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" but for some reason show_desktop isnt there
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> arian----: why bother, just use: sudo apt-get update
[22:10] <lolofyou2600> i have another question mmm where do i find support to get my wifi card working ? cuz the l
[22:10] <lolofyou2600> ast time that i used linux i had to use a wired
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> zamn:  i would guess they are for the older gnome. not gnome3
[22:10] <NictraSavios> I'll give it one more shot. Can ANYBODY run "sudo find / \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) 2> /dev/null" and send me the output on pastebin and save me from having to reinstall. ? Please?
[22:10] <lolofyou2600> and my video card too
[22:10] <poopypants_mcgee> Hi, I copied the init.d template script and used it to start up a custom java-based server application I wrote. Everything works well, the only problem is that the java process that starts up doesn't have permissions to read/write to the directory the jar executable is based out of. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> lolofyou2600: depends on the wifi chip
 , I want to my pc do this automatically
[22:11] <poopypants_mcgee> I haven't tried reading/writing anywhere else, so it could be that it can't read/write anywhere
[22:11] <poopypants_mcgee> Using ubuntu 10.04 lts
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> arian----: what, run updates?
[22:11] <arian----> or install any thing
[22:12] <lolofyou2600> well i have a macbook pro 2011
[22:12] <zamn> NictraSavios: doing it right now for ya
[22:12] <lolofyou2600> im not really sure what wifi card i have sooo yea
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> arian----: then you wil need your password to authenticate with
[22:12] <NictraSavios> zamn: Thank you!
[22:12] <Linix> Why am I always getting disconnected from my WiFi on Linux, even my iPhone can hold up the connection, and when I get disconnected is for good, I have to ReeBoot
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> lolofyou2600: most mac users don't
[22:12] <zamn> Linix: you should learn the wifi commands so you *dont* have to reboot
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> lolofyou2600: sudo lshw -C network    will show you the chip, it's probably a cheap broadcom
, I want to I go to my works out of house and this work auto
[22:13] <NictraSavios> zamn:Damn, xinit is broken beyond repair so I'm stuck at a console and GTK+ won't work either XD. thank you very much
[22:13] <zamn> NictraSavios: heh, this is taking forever -_-
[22:13] <ki4ro> zamn: What a nice unfriendly answer that was whew
[22:13] <Raph5> hi, during ubuntu install (12;04) at the end, I have a bootloader installation failed, I suspect it has to do with my laptop having a raid0, but any device/parition I choose give me the same 'unable to install grub to device', any help?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> arian----: as long as there is a web connection you can install updatees...
[22:13] <NictraSavios> zamn: It will :P. Its looking at every file on your system
[22:13] <Linix> zamn: What are those commands? Any support page or pastebin file?
[22:13] <zamn> ki4ro: i try :p
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> !wireless
[22:14] <zamn> NictraSavios: now you think you can help me with setting up different wallpapers for each workspace? heh :p
[22:15] <NictraSavios> zamn: Depends, what DE are you using? I know it can be done in KDE, but unity and gnome 3 are a mystery
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> zamn: you can, but you will lose the ability to have desktop icons
[22:15] <zamn> ActionParsnip: i dont care about those
[22:15] <Linix> zam: please help me and teach me the commands
[22:15] <zamn> NictraSavios: yeah trying in unity/gnome3
[22:15] <zamn> Linix: someone linked you to the commands
[22:15] <zamn> !wifi
[22:16] <zamn> Linix: ^^^^
[22:16] <Linix> zamn: got it
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> differnt wallpapers for each workspace dosent make a lot of sence in gnome3. since it adds workspaces on the fly
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> zamn: http://ubuntuguide.net/different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu
[22:16] <arian----> can i use at command on the root and it do not ask me this ?""Do you want to continue [Y/n]""
[22:16] <zamn> Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip: well i have a dual screen setup going on and want different wallpapers on each screen
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> arian----:  get over it and hit Y. :) its a failsafe..
[22:17] <NictraSavios> zamn: As soon as you send me the output and I get back to a working system, I can help you figure it out. :P
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> zamn: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/solved-different-icons-and-wallpapers-in-each-workspace-ubuntu-852686/
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> zamn:  thats totally differnt then what you asked... workspaces.. vs monitorsa.
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> zamn: basically its a tonne of effort for very little
[22:17] <zamn> arian----: run command < `yes`
[22:17] <bekks> zamn: OUCH
[22:17] <bekks> apt-get has the -y option.
[22:17] <zamn> lol
[22:17] <arian----> I want to sleep and my computer install packages :x
[22:17] <zamn> NictraSavios: its taking forever :p
[22:18] <bekks> arian----: Then press yes and head to bed :)
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[22:18] <brandon> ok i just tryed to install  mate and it did not install on the login mamanger
[22:18] <arian----> I have 4 or 5 apps to install what can i do?
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> brandon:  mate is not supported here.. and it should work with any of the login mabnagers
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> arian----:  sudo apt-get install app1 app2 app3 app5
[22:18] <Linix> zamn: I tried but I can't find or if I did I don't know what's the right document to read for my specific problem
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> !apt | arian----
[22:19] <arian----> Dr_Willis  , tnx :D yes that is what I want :D
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> arian----:  time to read some apt-get starter guides....
[22:19] <brandon> dr_willis it doesent i said sudo apt-get install M.A.T.E and it fiished but not in the maneger
[22:19] <NictraSavios> zamn: Has anything came out? Or is it just stuck?
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> brandon:  then the mate package makers dident make a proper .desktop file for it
[22:19] <zamn> NictraSavios: just finished
[22:20] <NictraSavios> zamn: Yay :P
[22:20] <brandon> dr.willes they did
[22:20] <zamn> NictraSavios: https://gist.github.com/5b7b8505d2575dd72d69
[22:20] <brandon> its a ubuntu probkem
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> brandon:  go ask them why its not working i guess. Mate is not supported here. or find the .desktop file and see what it says.. you did restart the login manager?
[22:20] <NictraSavios> Alright, I'll brb. Gotta write a short bash script
[22:21] <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.
[22:22] <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] <ActionParsnip> zamn: http://ubuntuguide.net/different-wallpapers-each-workspace-ubuntu-12-04
[22:22] <zamn> ActionParsnip: ah, that post you gave me actually linked to the right thing
[22:22] <zamn> ActionParsnip: thanks
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> they may not even be on this server.
[22:22] <Linix> zamn: nevermind, the problem is that I'm using the Open-Source drivers instead of the proprietary ones but the proprietary ones are so freaking slow on my computer, thanks and bye
[22:23] <netAction> Can anyone explain what this network indicator symbol means? https://webspace.netaction.de/tmp/rmAug2012/ubuntu-network-indicator.png
[22:24] <arian----> can i use at command on sudo -i ?
[22:24] <zamn> netAction: looks like it means that you are direct connected
[22:26] <ghostconn> im experiencing an odd error I have never seen before. I have been running ubuntu 12.04 science the release date and today when i booted my computer I have a red triangle (with an exclamation mark in the middle), telling me the update information is outdated "this may be caused by a repository that is no longer available ect....
[22:26] <ghostconn> any help greatly appreciated
[22:27] <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?
[22:28] <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?
, that mean I can do that :)
[22:29] <arian----> ?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> arian----: can do what?
, 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.
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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
, 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
[22:33] <Magiobiwan> Thats the screen its on now.
, 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] <Magiobiwan> Can I power off and power back on, or would that be a BAD thing?
[22:33] <ghostconn> sensors
[22:33] <r0tha> anyone here use linode? if you don't know what you're doing you'll do EVERYTHING as root lol
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: I'd ask in ##hardware#
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> ghostconn: I'd ask in ##hardware   sorry
[22:34] <ghostconn> thanks
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> Magiobiwan: you could, then boot to root recovery mode and fix things
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Magiobiwan
[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 ?
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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] <Magiobiwan> Since I have both XP And Ubuntu.
[22:38] <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] <meco> (I've asked in #transmission and they think it might be a distro issue)
[22:39] <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
[22:40] <Magiobiwan> And, its ##hardware
[22:40] <Magiobiwan> With 2 #'s
[22:41] <meco> ActionParsnip: That opens up transmission-gtk!
[22:43] <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.
[22:45] <arian> what this means?

[22:48] <MagiC3PO> No ChanServ?
[22:49] <smw> MagiC3PO, chanserv is online
[22:49] <MagiC3PO> It's not in here though, is it
[22:49] <MagiC3PO> ?
[22:50] <smw> chanserv is not in this channel, no
[22:50] <Myrtti> why should it be?
[22:50] <MagiC3PO> Because the channel would be registered if it WERE to be here
[22:50] <smw> MagiC3PO, chanserv is only present in channels that request it. There is really little point in it being here.
[22:51] <MagiC3PO> I thought it was in all Registered Channels
[22:51] <smw> MagiC3PO, it isn't
[22:51] <MagiC3PO> I'm so unfamiliar with Atheme. So used to Anope
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> meco: cool
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> meco: you can use transgui if you want an app to talk to the web ui
[22:53] <meco> ActionParsnip: How?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> meco: it's in the repos
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !info transgui
[22:54] <meco> ActionParsnip: But can't I just use the web ui?
[22:57] <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] <fellayaboy> hey im having a problem wtih bash auto complete in 12.04..everytime i press tab there are no backspaces assigned and/or there are spaces after each directory when i tab...
[22:58] <mophead> Is there a channel for Cinnamon? Did any cinnamon users just see their machine freak out?
[22:58] <fellayaboy> i mean no backslashes to escape spaces
[22:59] <fellayaboy> anybody tehre
[23:00] <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.
[23:01] <escott> fizyplankton, there might be something with acl's
[23:01] <Dr_Willis> I never have looked into ACL's much
[23:01] <escott> fizyplankton, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-April/146995.html
[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
[23:02] <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.
[23:03] <nikosdano> ./server nana.irc.gr
[23:04] <nikosdano> ./server nana.irc.gr
[23:04] <Ronuken> yea, best i can find, i need kernel 3.1.10, but precise only has 3.2 and newer that i can find
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> nikosdano:  try withoyut the .
[23:05] <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] <fizyplankton> it says*
[23:05] <Ronuken> I'm having the issue ( and the same usb device) described in this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971728
[23:05] <fizyplankton> *then sudo chown root
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  why are you chowning it to root?
[23:06] <nikosdano> ./server nana.irc.gr
[23:06] <nikosdano> ./server nana.irc.gr
[23:06] <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)
[23:07] <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] <Dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  i would think you are trying too hard.. perhaps as a test. see if a differnt user can install the extension.
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> Ronuken: seems to be a known issue with AR9170 chips
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  that extension is it anyway? got a url?
[23:08] <fizyplankton> Dr_Willis: iv installed other themes, and they all work fine
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> Ronuken: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link   lists Atheros is aware of this problem, but so far: no fix. Also AR9170 is being replaced by AR9271 + next gen, so chances are you wasted your money on a overpriced product.
[23:08] <fizyplankton> Dr_Willis: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kldmnkfegbdiloemiolicnddbokfdcfl?hl=en
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  its possile the theme file is bad.
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> Ronuken: may help https://myubuntunotes.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/hello-world/
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> egads.. what a ugly theme.
[23:09] <Dr_Willis> fizyplankton:  theme  file seems bad.,...
[23:09] <meco> ActionParsnip: You had no suggestions on my last info?
[23:09] <Dr_Willis> Package is invalid. Details: 'Could not load '/tmp/scoped_d
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> meco: does the transgui show all downloads?
[23:10] <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.
[23:11] <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. :)
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <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?
[23:14] <scietnes> how can i reinstall grub when i cant chroot ?
[23:14] <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.
[23:15] <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.
[23:16] <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] <Dr_Willis> I thought hal got removed.  :)
[23:16] <_noiro_> how do I turn off the auto-logout of Ubuntu so I don't have to log in?
[23:16] <meco> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/fCGFw2ZM
[23:17] <Dr_Willis> _noiro_:  ive never noticed there being an AUto-Logout
[23:17] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: he mean the enter password on lock screen probably
[23:17] <IdleOne> rather unlock
[23:17] <engstad> fizyplankton: Sorry!
[23:18] <fizyplankton> engstad: is the installation fresh, or has it been there a while?
[23:18] <penyulap> Hi everyone, how do I 'add a directory to the PKG_CONFIG PATH enviroment variable' ?
[23:18] <_noiro_> Dr_Willis, I mean if you idle for a certain amount of time, it will make you enter your password to log in
[23:19] <engstad> fizyplankton: Odd, the log says: Failed to load module "nv".
[23:19] <fizyplankton> _noiro_: click system>preferences>screensaver then uncheck "Lock screen when screensaver is active"
[23:20] <poopiepants_mcge> I wrote an init.d script based on the skeleton script that starts up a java process. When I start my init.d script, the process starts but it doesn't seem to be writing files to the directory that java jar file is in. Does anyone know why might be going on? Is the current directory is set somewhere else or are there permission issues? When I list all processes, I can see that hte process has been started, so I know it's runn
[23:20] <_noiro_> fizyplankton, where is that? I'm in Gnome3
[23:20] <fizyplankton> _noiro_: beats me. there should (might) be a menu at the top of the screen that has system on it. its in the menues with all your other stuff
[23:21] <_noiro_> I see system tools
[23:21] <fizyplankton> _noiro_: that might be it
[23:21] <_noiro_> System Tools > Preferences > and no screensaver. :P
[23:21] <engstad> fizyplankton: Ah, removed both nvidia-96 and nvidia-96-updates, and it now shows up. Hope it is neauvau running now.
[23:21] <escott> poopiepants_mcge, you need to set the cwd
[23:22] <rgates414> l3top, you around?
[23:22] <poopiepants_mcge> escott: I think I do that already
[23:22] <poopiepants_mcge> Let me check
[23:22] <fizyplankton> engstad: it works? also, if you want to chekc if nouveau is running, do "ps -ef | grep nouveau"
[23:23] <rgates414> Anyone that can help me with a wireless card not working???
[23:23] <fizyplankton> rgates414: is it a broadcomm card?
[23:23] <poopiepants_mcge> escott: In do_start, the first thing I do is the set the directory. Is there anything else I'm missing?
[23:23] <rgates414> I believe so, yes.
[23:23] <fizyplankton> rgates414: then god help you
[23:23] <Super8> Hi.
[23:23] <rgates414> lmao, thanks
[23:23] <Super8> How can I install Ubuntu on Android?
[23:23] <fizyplankton> rgates414: your only bet is ndiswrapper, but its a long shot
[23:24] <Super8> I couldnt find any guide for that, please help.
[23:24] <engstad> fizyplankton: No nouveau, I guess it runs SVGA or sthg.
[23:24] <rgates414> Well.. I'm pretty much a complete n00b here... so I have no clue what ndiswrapper is.. lol
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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?
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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.
[23:29] <meco> ActionParsnip: Done
[23:29] <Dr_willis> theres a Ubuntu on android app. that puts Ubuntu In a VM. i set up a phone for a guy last month that way.
[23:29] <Super8> It has to be rooted?
[23:29] <sakax> how can i kill an frozen application
[23:29] <sakax> ?
[23:29] <Super8> A guy told me that my phone has to be rooted.
[23:29] <Dr_willis> Super8,  i would guess Yes.
[23:29] <sakax> like the ctrl+alt+del task manager for windows
[23:29] <Super8> Dr_willis That app won't root it for me?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Super8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d_diU7i7Z0   took what...5 seconds
[23:30] <fizyplankton> sakax: ps -ef | grep APP_NAME; kill -9 NUMBER_IN_SECOND_COLUMN_OF_OUTPUT
[23:30] <Dr_willis> Super8,  I doubt it.. since its not a "root your phone app'
[23:30] <uskerine> hi, does anyone know how to install "bonita open solution" ni ubuntu 12.03
[23:30] <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] <uskerine> (sorry)
[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
[23:31] <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?
[23:32] <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?
[23:33] <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.
[23:34] <_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
[23:35] <meco> ActionParsnip: transmission-daemon is already the newest version.
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> meco: gah
[23:35] <sakax> thanks i prefer killall
[23:36] <_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
[23:37] <_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
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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)
[23:40] <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?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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)
[23:44] <Goldenscorp> hi
[23:44] <Goldenscorp> i have pb : kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0 0
[23:44] <Goldenscorp> ubuntu 10.04.04
[23:46] <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 :)
[23:47] <MrSpocks> 8)
[23:49] <mophead> ActionParsnip : how would I go about removing them?
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> mophead: use apt-get or software centre
[23:50] <mophead> so sudo apt-get remove... what?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> mophead: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-numbershere
[23:51] <mophead> It tells me "E: Unable to synchronize mmap - msync (28: No space left on device)"
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | mophead
[23:53] <mophead> so I should do that force reboot thing?
[23:55] <Medjai> Can someone tell me why when i set a keyboard shortcut via: System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Window ... It is cleared after reboot?
