| oli_ | how do i uninstall firefox fullly | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | oli_: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox* | 00:20 |
| oli_ | the package list could not be parsed or opened | 00:22 |
| antukin | oli sudo apt-get purge firefox | 00:23 |
| Dr_willis | that will NOT remove yoru users firefox settings... | 00:24 |
| oli_ | dr willis that command didn't work anyway | 00:25 |
| Dr_willis | Oli, clarify what dident work.. and what you were expecting.. | 00:25 |
| [1]ichi | hi all | 00:25 |
| oli_ | sudo: Can't open /var/lib/sudo/ol1v33r/0: Read-only file system W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 00:25 |
| [1]ichi | got a problem here | 00:25 |
| antukin | remove --purge is the same as purge | 00:25 |
| [1]ichi | i wanna use SliM and Openbox | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like you got deeperissues oli_ | 00:26 |
| oli_ | i definately do but i have know idea how to fix them | 00:26 |
| oli_ | i tried to upgrade to ubuntu 12 and it wouldnt | 00:26 |
| [1]ichi | installed both but when i try to login through SliM, Openbox doesn't work | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | read only filesystem = your fs may need fscked.. or the hd is having issues. | 00:27 |
| antukin | [1]ichi: F1 to cyvcle thru session and select openbox | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | [1]ichi, does it work with lightdm? | 00:27 |
| [1]ichi | oh, and if i press ctrl-F1 and i type "sudo startx" it works.. | 00:28 |
| [1]ichi | that's the strange thing | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis | [1]ichi, why are you using 'sudo startx' and not 'startx' | 00:29 |
| antukin | [1]ichi: you don't need t slim to use openbox. gdm I use which is better | 00:30 |
| [1]ichi | if i use startx it doesn't start XD | 00:30 |
| [1]ichi | i know but gdm it's not customizable like slim | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | [1]ichi, any error messages? | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | Like you really need to customize the login screen.. you see it for all of like 10 sec :) | 00:30 |
| [1]ichi | yes, but i'm not on the netbook running it now, so i can't do a copy-paste .__. | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | [1]ichi: slim is great :) | 00:31 |
| TheSongWriter01 | hello I'm new here | 00:31 |
| [1]ichi | d3v1an7? LOL that's my old nickname XD | 00:31 |
| [1]ichi | ActionParsnip, i know, it is ;) | 00:31 |
| d3v1an7 | Like, from 2003? | 00:32 |
| jen | hey i cannot get into my router from typing in my ip address password | 00:32 |
| jen | err no my ip address | 00:32 |
| TheSongWriter01 | help, a tutorial please | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: can you ping the IP address? | 00:32 |
| [1]ichi | d3v1an7, from the far '99 XD | 00:32 |
| jen | ping? | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | !manual | TheSongWriter01 | 00:32 |
| ubottu | TheSongWriter01: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 00:32 |
| d3v1an7 | Hahaha, you win then :) | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSongWriter01: tutorial for what? | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | jen, the ping command pings an ip# to show its alive | 00:32 |
| d3v1an7 | Sorry for stealing :) | 00:32 |
| [1]ichi | oh nothing | 00:33 |
| TheSongWriter01 | install java on linux | 00:33 |
| [1]ichi | it was a good nickname ;) | 00:33 |
| jen | Dr_willis, i don't know what that means, usually i can log into actiontec | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSongWriter01: I use: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html works well | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | !java | TheSongWriter01 | 00:33 |
| ubottu | TheSongWriter01: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | the webupd8 guide works well ;) | 00:34 |
| TheSongWriter01 | Dr_willis thanks!! | 00:34 |
| antukin | Jen you type not your ip address but the ip address of your router | 00:34 |
| tr3nton | http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 | 00:34 |
| jen | antukin, how do i aquire this? | 00:35 |
| jen | acquire* | 00:35 |
| antukin | most router has 192.168.0.1 or 1.0 or 1.1 | 00:35 |
| antukin | depens on your router | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis | time to check the routers docs. :) | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | antukin: some use 10.0.0.0/24 as well | 00:36 |
| jen | well i just want to know what mine is | 00:36 |
| antukin | ActionParsnip: these are private ip addresss mostly enterprises | 00:36 |
| jen | is there something i can type in somewhere? | 00:36 |
| SecretFire | whats the terminal command to run distribution upgrade | 00:36 |
| jen | brb | 00:36 |
| Dr_willis | jen, start with determining the pcs ip. | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | antukin: yes, both fall into the standard range :) | 00:36 |
| jen | brb | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | SecretFire | 00:37 |
| ubottu | SecretFire: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:37 |
| PhatTony | ActionParsnip, Those are old school class c | 00:37 |
| PhatTony | range | 00:37 |
| PhatTony | But, thats no longer needed since classless subnetting | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | PhatTony: still works and is standard, you can also use 172.16.0.0/16 all comply with RFC1918 | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis | brand new router here defauled to using 192.168.1.x | 00:38 |
| PhatTony | ActionParsnip, Yes, it still applies but not necessary | 00:38 |
| designbybeck_ | Gparted question, I deleted the other partiion, I have 181gb of unacclloated space... But I don't know how to give it to the other partion? | 00:39 |
| designbybeck_ | It iwll not let me drag it bigger than the space it has on my second partiion | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | PhatTony: they are equally good to use | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck_: is the partition mounted? | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, enlarge the other partition.. (back up inporntant data first thats on it) is one a prinary and other inside an extended? | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck_: and it if it swap, have you ran swapoff ? | 00:39 |
| designbybeck_ | no it isn't ActionParsnip | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, are they next to each other? | 00:39 |
| designbybeck_ | yes all data is backedup Dr_willis | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, a pastebin of 'sudo fdisk -l' may help | 00:40 |
| designbybeck_ | it is sda2 extended? | 00:40 |
| NiKon | what is git | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | sda2 should be a primary also. | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | !git | 00:40 |
| ubottu | git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 00:40 |
| designbybeck_ | and then it has sda6 inside it which is the one i'm trying to make bigger | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network | 00:40 |
| jen | i am back, how do i log into my actiontec router? I need to block people from getting on my network | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | designbybeck_, and where are you getting the sda6 space from | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | jen, http://the.ip.of.yoyur.router | 00:41 |
| === mankoff_ is now known as mankoff | ||
| jen | Dr_willis, umm that didnt work | 00:42 |
| designbybeck_ | crap i don't have a way to hook that one to the net right now to upload screen shot Dr_willis | 00:42 |
| * Dr_willis wonders where sda5 went | 00:42 | |
| PhatTony | jen: Does your router have the mac or security capabilities? | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | jen, details would be helpfill as to as what it did do... | 00:42 |
| designbybeck_ | let me sneaker network it | 00:42 |
| jen | it did nothing | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | jen, and you really should be checking your routers docs.. | 00:42 |
| jen | Dr_willis, I dont know how to do that | 00:42 |
| jen | oh wait a second like underneath xD | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | jen: Whats the make and manufacture of your router? | 00:43 |
| Dr_willis | how to check the docs? read its manual? check the routers homepage? | 00:43 |
| jen | actiontec | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | Never heard of it | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: if you run: netstat -nr | awk 'BEGIN {while ($3!="0.0.0.0") getline; print $2}' | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | But, usually its 192.168.1.2 | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | 192.168.1.1 | 00:43 |
| jen | Dr_willis, and how would I check the homepage, i ussually just type in my IP address into the adress bar | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: it will show you your gateway IP, this is the router's internal IP | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | 192.168.1.254 | 00:43 |
| PhatTony | jen: Open a terminal window | 00:44 |
| PhatTony | and enter | 00:44 |
| Dr_willis | jen, what ip exactly? You check the homepage.. by opening up a browser.. and looking for the router makers homepage.... | 00:44 |
| PhatTony | the following | 00:44 |
| PhatTony | ifconfig | 00:44 |
| jen | no i googled it real quick lol | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: the command I gave when ran in terminal, shows the router's IP. | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: no 'googling' needed | 00:44 |
| FreezingCold | How easy is multiseat-wizard-bicefalo? | 00:45 |
| FreezingCold | I've been thinking of doing that for the family computer | 00:45 |
| jen | last time I trusted someone on here my computer shut down -.- | 00:45 |
| * Dr_willis isent really sure how this is ubuntu support related... and if your router is letting people in by default.. id suggest a better brand router next time... | 00:46 | |
| designbybeck_ | Dr_willis: ActionParsnip sorry had to take it with my phone: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/34919 | 00:49 |
| designbybeck_ | not sure yo ucan see it | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | you have to resize sda2 first.. i belive.. then resize the sda6 | 00:50 |
| designbybeck_ | Dr_willis: when I slect sda2 everything else grays out | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck_: You'll need to expand the extended partition, then extend the logical partition into that | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | or just copy everything from sda6 to where sda1 was. :) remake the partition, then delete the ones below it. and just have sda1 and swap. | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | its weird that sda5 is below sda6 also. | 00:51 |
| designbybeck_ | ActionParsnip: I can't drag that extented | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | notice the Lock keys? i think swap is in use.. | 00:51 |
| designbybeck_ | oh i see that Dr_willis | 00:51 |
| designbybeck_ | do i just click swaapoff? | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | try it and see. ;) | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | i always do this sort of work from a Live Gparted CD. | 00:52 |
| FreezingCold | jen: what did you type? | 00:52 |
| jen | hault something | 00:52 |
| jen | or jus thault | 00:53 |
| jen | hault* | 00:53 |
| jen | iconfig | 00:53 |
| designbybeck_ | That did it boys! Thanks Dr_willis and ActionParsnip... Partitions always scare me, but I'm slowly learning!! | 00:53 |
| jen | oops | 00:53 |
| FreezingCold | jen: did not follow | 00:55 |
| naryfa | Does anyone know how to make updatedb constantly scan for file changes so that when I have to use "locate" after moving files around, I don't have to manually updatedb each time? Is something like that even possible? | 00:57 |
| escott | naryfa, no updatedb is not an online file database | 01:01 |
| naryfa | escott: is there an alternative I could use? | 01:01 |
| naryfa | escott: if you happen to know, of course | 01:02 |
| hats | hey everyone. I'm trying to download all .rar files from http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php but it stops after downloading and rejecting high-definition-trailers.php and doesn't follow any of the links. I am using the command: wget -r -A.rar http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php | 01:05 |
| hats | anyone have an idea of how to get it working? | 01:05 |
| escott | naryfa, http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/ | 01:06 |
| naryfa | escott: much appreciated, thanks | 01:06 |
| escott | naryfa, project seems pretty dead though | 01:07 |

| naryfa | escott: I just read that using "find" doesn't require updating the database, would you happen to know the proper query syntax? Typing find / filename spews out entire filesystm | 01:18 |
| naryfa | filesystem* | 01:18 |
| === zorg24 is now known as zorg24|afk | ||
| escott | naryfa, find is a rather advanced search tool. the closest to locate like functionality would be find /folder -iname PATTERN which would search for a case insensitive name matching the regexp PATTERN. I would not run find on / it will take forever | 01:19 |
| naryfa | escott: it does take time, I agree. There's also gnome-search-tool, I have to check how that works. However, it's GUI | 01:23 |
| mophead | ActionParsnip : Yo! I just did fsck and it didn't say anything... | 01:24 |
| Colonel187 | hello there | 01:25 |
| Colonel187 | Is anybody available to help a super noob? | 01:25 |
| naryfa | escott: Thanks for your help | 01:25 |
| Colonel187 | I'm stuck trying to install ubuntu 12.04 and the internets have failed me. | 01:27 |
| mophead | oh look, I got a df -h! | 01:27 |
| Colonel187 | anybody? | 01:28 |
| mophead | Colonel187: tell them which errors you're getting | 01:28 |
| mophead | it says "dev/sda1" is totally full. anyone know what that is? | 01:29 |
| naryfa | escott: sudo find f / -iname firefox | 01:29 |
| naryfa | escott: this worked | 01:29 |
| escott | naryfa, you shouldnt need sudo for something like that | 01:30 |
| naryfa | escott: if I don't it cries for 100 lines about /proc/ permission denied | 01:30 |
| Colonel187_ | IS this thing working. I'm looking for assistance | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: uninstall old kernels | 01:30 |
| escott | naryfa, you could redirect errors to /dev/null | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: also run: sudo apt-get clean | 01:31 |
| escott | Colonel187_, details please | 01:31 |
| Colonel187_ | <--Super noob needs help installing ubuntu 12.04, install freezes | 01:31 |
| naryfa | escott: just add 0 > /dev/null ? | 01:31 |
| mophead | actionparsnip: I can't uninstall the old kernels because there's no space | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: the apt-get clean command may free some | 01:31 |
| naryfa | escott: no .... 2 | 01:31 |
| naryfa | escott: 2 > /dev/null | 01:32 |
| naryfa | escott: this way? | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mophead: now you have a df -h which you didn't have before it should be removable | 01:32 |
| escott | naryfa, sure | 01:32 |
| naryfa | escott: perfect | 01:32 |
| Colonel187_ | um ok i can boot up into trial, i'm using it now. When I try to install ubuntu it always freeze when I click continue of the time zone screen | 01:32 |
| mophead | it's doing it! it's doing it! | 01:32 |
| Colonel187 | I'm back whoever it was that was going to help me | 01:34 |
| naryfa | escott: one more question, if I want to alias this entire find query as "search" for example, do I do it in /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc and why? | 01:34 |
| escott | naryfa, ~/.bashrc | 01:35 |
| Colonel187 | So the install copies files and shows me the time zone screen, when I click continue the install freezes every time. I"ve tried all the different install options, even manually partitioning a drive and it's a no go. I found a forum that mentioned something out un installing unibiquity slide show. I tried that and it still freezes | 01:36 |
| eddyman | possible to write script (shell/perl/etc) to simulate keyaction? my goal is to have this run as cron-job to set brightness level of my laptop screen | 01:36 |
| Colonel187 | anybody have any suggestions? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: have you tested RAM using memtest | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 01:38 |
| Fyodorovna | Colonel187, you are not exceding the primary partitons number are you? | 01:38 |
| * A_J greets ActionParsnip | 01:38 | |
| Colonel187 | no. I don't know really how to do anything. I'm trying to learn ubuntu but can't even get it installed LOL. I have 8 gigs | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: howdy | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: amount of ram is irrelevant | 01:39 |
| Colonel187 | yes I md5 checked the iso. this problem also occurs with Mint | 01:39 |
| A_J | I have a question. I'm gonna purchase a VPS and it has the latest OS being Ubuntu 9.04 can i update to 12.04 ? | 01:39 |
| Colonel187 | From what I gathered from forums and searching is that 12.04 has a huge bug in the installation. I just don't know how to fix it or by pass it | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: Mint is based on Ubuntu so trying Mint isn't really trying much different at all | 01:40 |
| Daekdroom | ActionParsnip, what about Cinnamon? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | A_J: you can upgrade it to 9.10, then to 10.04 then to 12.04 | 01:40 |
| Fyodorovna | A_J, are you sure it is 9.04 that is end of life. | 01:40 |
| Colonel187 | I know just providing information | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Daekdroom: if the installer has the issue, the DE isn't the issue | 01:40 |
| Fyodorovna | A_J, but as suggested upgrades can be done, just checking the number here. | 01:41 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: could be that your hard drive has bad blocks | 01:41 |
| Colonel187 | i"ve scanned it, my hard drive is fine | 01:41 |
| A_J | Fyodorovna : http://puu.sh/ISTt | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: did you try upgrading ubiquity in the liveCD then running the install as usual? | 01:41 |
| A_J | do i need to upgrade though ? | 01:41 |
| naryfa | escott: do aliases work right away or do I have to restart or update something? | 01:41 |
| Colonel187 | That is a forign language to me | 01:41 |
| Colonel187 | like I said i'm trying to install ubuntu so i can learn how to finally use linux. How do i upgrade ubiquity | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: in the liveCD, get online then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity | 01:42 |
| Colonel187 | k doing it now | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: ubiquity is the installer app, so upgrading it to the latest version may help | 01:43 |
| A_J | ActionParsnip do i need to upgrade from 9.04 or not. i just plan to run a znc on this VPS | 01:43 |
| Fyodorovna | A_J, I would just install 12.04 if me, it sounds like the 9.04 is not yours anyway is this correct? | 01:43 |
| escott | naryfa, they have to be sourced in your environment | 01:43 |
| naryfa | escott: in $PATH ? | 01:44 |
| escott | naryfa, so any new login shell will include them | 01:44 |
| A_J | nah it's not mine it's given by the VPS provider. Fyodorovna | 01:44 |
| naryfa | escott: how do I do that? | 01:44 |
| escott | naryfa, they aren't part of $PATH, but the same rules apply. logout/login if you want new vt's that are not login shells to include them | 01:45 |
| naryfa | escott: gracias | 01:45 |
| A_J | ActionParsnip and Fyodorovna i'll bbl. Thanks | 01:46 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: to learn linux get familiar with the command-line. there is a command called "man" which stands for manual. so what i said before was that you may have a faulty hard drive - corrupt sectors (blocks) on the drive. you can use the command called "badblocks" - to learn about that run "man badblocks" in terminal (press Q to quit any time you done reading this manual). also what you could do is create your partition manually before c | 01:47 |
| eddyman | aw, he left haha | 01:47 |

| Colonel187 | Hello. firefox crashed. who was helping me? | 01:48 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: you see my (long) message? | 01:49 |
| Colonel187 | I ran sudo apt-get update, but what was the other command? sudo apt-get ubiquity something? | 01:49 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: i believe someone suggested to install ubiquity although im not familiar with myself, but to do that "sudo apt-get install ubiquity" | 01:50 |
| Colonel187 | Yes. I've checked the hard drive, I've also tried creating the partitions manually using a guide I found online. None of that is the issue | 01:50 |
| Colonel187 | ok I get 0 upgraded ubiquity is already the newest version | 01:51 |
| Colonel187 | want me to run the installer and paste the log? | 01:52 |
| dubleeh | I am a noob to IRC so correct me if I do somthing stupid. I own an Asus 1225B-su17 and just put 12.04 on it. It wont halt on shutdown just reboot. Who do I ask for help with this? | 01:53 |
| eddyman | yea you can for us to better understand your problem but i suggest not pasting here directly but use www.pastebin.com | 01:53 |
| Colonel187 | ok | 01:53 |
| eddyman | dubleeh: have you ever tried running "sudo shutdown now" | 01:54 |

| eddyman | Starn: tell us your issue | 01:58 |
| dubleeh | I searched the forums but no luck. Is this the #Ubuntu channel? | 01:58 |
| dubleeh | Maybe I should leran abot IRC somemore | 01:58 |
| dubleeh | ? | 01:58 |
| dubleeh | ... ok This maybe a log bot that i dont understand so if this im not speaking into the abysss then hit me back at dubleeh@gmail.com | 01:58 |
| FloodBot1 | dubleeh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:58 |
| Starn | when i boot into ubuntu it kinda functions and kind of does not.. and it displays the last image that was on windows.. even if i do a hard reboot. | 01:58 |
| Colonel187 | ok this is dumb how do I copy the text in the log? I tried ctrl+c and ctrl+x and right click and I can't get the text copeid | 01:59 |
| dwakar | dubleeh this is a real person speaking hit "sudo shutdown -h now" in the terminal | 01:59 |
| Starn | and when it doesn't show the last thing on windows it shows a fuzzy pixelated screen kinda like snow from a TV. but coloured and lots of grey. | 01:59 |

| eddyman | Colonel187: when copy/paste in terminal i right click | 02:00 |
| Colonel187 | it doesn't work | 02:01 |
| Colonel187 | it's the log of the install | 02:01 |
| eddyman | interesting | 02:01 |
| Starn | this image is on the "background" the foreground such as apps and tool bar are perfectly fine.. except the whole them not responding to mouse clicks. | 02:01 |
| Colonel187 | anyway the last message I saw before it froze is run apt-get update to update ubiquity | 02:01 |
| Colonel187 | but i'm typing sudo apt-get update and it runs throught a list of checks and then says you may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems? didn't I just do that? | 02:02 |
| eddyman | Starn: perhaps you did not shutdown windows properly. this tends to cause problems, so try to boot into windows and properly shutdown from the start menu | 02:02 |
| Starn | eddyman: i've done that.. multiple times. | 02:02 |
| escott | Colonel187, usually one runs apt-get update then apt-get upgrade | 02:02 |
| Colonel187 | ok it's doing stuff | 02:03 |
| Starn | eddyman: i've even used my external hard drive that as ubuntu on it as well and same problem (except it says unable to mount hard drives) | 02:03 |
| Starn | eddyman: and they was working perfectly fine not to long ago.. and i've not updated or installed anything new on ubuntu or windows.. | 02:04 |
| Colonel187 | Can't wait to get away from my windows dependancy and learn ubuntu, then #2 is to learn android programming | 02:04 |

| Starn | Colonel187: if you're a gamer you'll always need win... but otherwise you're all set :) | 02:05 |
| eddyman | Starn: maybe it's a X windows or Compiz issue | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Starn: depends what games you want to play ;) | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Starn: I game quite happily on Linux | 02:05 |
| Colonel187 | I am a gamer. but I can make windows my secondary O/S not my primary | 02:05 |
| Starn | eddyman: i was thiking the same thing. but i've not found any issues with either. | 02:06 |
| eddyman | Starn: try turning Compiz off? | 02:06 |
| Starn | ActionParsnip: this is true.. heck WoW runs on it.. | 02:06 |
| Colonel187 | I ready steam is releasing a linux client soon | 02:06 |
| Starn | eddyman: by defualt i have compiz off.. i dislike running it. | 02:06 |

| eddyman | in "top" press K to kill a process | 02:11 |

| === Guest42446 is now known as exocaesar | ||
| Colonel187 | no, but the installer is still frozen I can't get it to force close. or rather don't know how | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: then that's why. If the installer is running the it will cause the issue. You need to upgrade the installer before running it | 02:14 |
| Colonel187 | oh ok. well now I know how | 02:14 |
| rgates414 | Can't find ANY .inf files for it... Am I looking in the wrong place?? Thought it would be in SYSTEM32 folder along with the .sys | 02:14 |
| volan | Colonel187, also try 'apt-get clean' | 02:14 |
| Colonel187 | can I force close it or do I have to reboot | 02:14 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: you can use "top" or "kill" or "pkill" to stop any programs | 02:15 |
| Colonel187 | how would I use that | 02:15 |
| rgates414 | Found 3 different .dll files though.. seriously about to give up here.. | 02:16 |
| eddyman | but idk the command of the installer :\ | 02:16 |
| Colonel187 | oh | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rgates414: I suggest you download the driver from the manufacturers site and copy it from the ntfs partition in Ubuntu | 02:16 |
| Colonel187 | is there a graphical task manager like windows. | 02:16 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: possibly to find out process number/name run "ps ax | grep install" | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Colonel187: probably easier to reboot. Select to try the OS then run the command I gave a while back, then run the installer | 02:16 |
| eddyman | Colonel187: yes, in command-line it is "top" but in a gui, it is called System Monitor | 02:17 |
| rgates414 | ntfs partition? Full disclosure: I know dick about linux | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rgates414: your NTFS partition is readable by Ubuntu so you can copy the file over | 02:18 |
| Colonel187 | alright then rebooting | 02:18 |
| eddyman | NTFS is a type of filesystem that Microsoft created for Windows | 02:18 |

I set up the box several months ago (11.10) for my father and at the time I thought it was odd, but the internet connection "just worked". I didn't have to put in a password or mess with any settings. I connected a fresh install ubuntu where a winXP box was, and ba-bam, there was internet. | 02:25 |
| volan | Now months later it has stopped working. The ISP is dsl extreme. They only officially support win and mac and are not much help (even when explaining that it had been working) | 02:25 |

| RaverX3X | then rebooted once it rebooted it just sits at the _ flashing | 03:26 |

| Colonel187 | ubuntu 12.04 | 03:29 |
| Colonel187 | ok here is the low down | 03:30 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| RedSocrates | RaverX3X, just to check, when you did the installation you chose to install grub to the MBR? | 03:30 |
| RaverX3X | no ironicly it never asked | 03:30 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, so you can get to the installs desktop with the usb correct? | 03:30 |
| RaverX3X | no actually i cant | 03:30 |
| RaverX3X | it keeps booting to the os | 03:30 |
| RedSocrates | RaverX3X, it should have asked, though I've never done a USB installation to confirm... That's odd. | 03:30 |
| RaverX3X | now with it installed | 03:30 |
| dwakar | Colonel187: are you installing it on a ubuntu preinstalled machine | 03:31 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, when you say OS whwt do you mean? | 03:31 |
| Fyodorovna | what* | 03:31 |
| zorg24 | RedSocrates, installing from USB it should still ask its the exact same iso file used | 03:31 |
| Magiobiwan | Hmm. | 03:31 |
| Colonel187 | I checked MD5, my hdd is healthy, I can install ubuntu through windows and only that way. I don't want that. I searched and searched and I keep seeing on forums that the installer is broken for ubuntu 12.04 and Mint. I just don't know how to fix it. I was being helped before but had to leave for dinner | 03:31 |
| RedSocrates | zorg24, Yeah, that's what I would have thought. | 03:31 |
| RaverX3X | meaning it will boot ubuntu as it would normally if grub was installed to the hdd | 03:31 |
| Colonel187 | I"ve tried update/upgrade | 03:31 |
| Magiobiwan | SO, I couldn't use the CD to do the upgrade | 03:32 |
| Colonel187 | tried removing and re installing ubiquity, still no go | 03:32 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, use the tab complete with user names here so we know who you are talking to. You can install grub to the mbr from the OS. | 03:32 |
| Magiobiwan | I just ended up replacing my broken, fresh install of old Ubuntu | 03:32 |
| Colonel187 | dwaker: no this is a home built machine | 03:32 |
| Magiobiwan | With a clean, new, up to date version of 12.04 | 03:32 |
| dwakar | Colonel187: are you switching from windows or dualboot or upgrading ubuntu | 03:32 |
| dwakar | Colonel187: which one | 03:33 |
| Colonel187 | I am attempting to dual boot with windows. but would like to move away from windows once I learn how to use linux | 03:33 |
| zorg24 | RaverX3X, its sounding more and more like you somehow installed grub to the USB drive by accident | 03:34 |
| RaverX3X | thats what i thought i am trying to get grub to install to the hdd atm | 03:34 |
| dwakar | ok is that usb made with linux live usb maker or something of windows Colonel187 | 03:34 |
| Colonel187 | yes it is | 03:34 |
| RaverX3X | zorg24 just ran grub-update on it | 03:34 |
| RaverX3X | zorg24 like i said it was weird cause i never had that happen before this isnt my first install of nix lol | 03:35 |
| Colonel187 | BUT, I also made a live cd of Mint and that freezes in the exact same spot. I know mint is based off ubuntu | 03:35 |
| dwakar | did it said something about not supporting 12.04 or something like that Colonel187 | 03:35 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, just use the option in the installer to dual later you can delete your windows partition and resize your other partitions, also if you want to move away from windows absolutely do NOT use wubi | 03:35 |
| Colonel187 | no | 03:35 |
| xxiao | i have two PCs both running 10.04, one has 1024*768 tty1-6, one has 640-480, what's causing that? | 03:35 |
| zorg24 | actually Colonel187 either way don't use wubi | 03:36 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X is the HD check it with sudo fdisk -l | 03:36 |
| xxiao | tried to play with /etc/default/grub, did not help | 03:36 |
| === zixxy is now known as Guest78133 | ||
| xxiao | in fact on both machine the /etc/default/grub are identical too | 03:36 |
| Colonel187 | the log in the installation windows shows something about runing apt-get update before it crashes but I've done that | 03:36 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, then run sudo update-grub | 03:36 |
| yannick | ok | 03:36 |
| dwakar | Colonel187: ok so it freezes at the time zone | 03:36 |
| Colonel187 | yes | 03:36 |
| yannick | not now | 03:37 |
| dwakar | have you tried "try ubuntu" option | 03:37 |
| Colonel187 | I do not want to use wubi | 03:37 |
| dwakar | if not do that first | 03:37 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, good I was just making sure | 03:37 |
| Colonel187 | yes. i'm using it now i've also tried the straight install option | 03:37 |
| Fyodorovna | Colonel187, there is a alternative disc for a text install. | 03:37 |
| Colonel187 | there is? | 03:37 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, ya you want the link? | 03:38 |
| Colonel187 | the problem with that is I am installing this to learn how to use it so i only know what i've been told so far. I don't know if i can command line install | 03:38 |
| Fyodorovna | Colonel187, if you need it, also on the main ubuntu site. http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ | 03:39 |
| RaverX3X | zerg24 and colonel187 tried that it says it doesnt have a bios when trying to install grub to the hdd | 03:39 |
| yannick | nope for me | 03:39 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, no its not a command line install just a text based interface | 03:39 |
| Colonel187 | oh ok like choose a number and press enter | 03:39 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||
| yannick | 2 | 03:39 |
| zorg24 | ya basically | 03:39 |
| enteL | theres a lack of point and click | 03:40 |
| zorg24 | you need 64 bit or 32 bit? | 03:40 |
| yannick | 64 | 03:40 |
| Colonel187 | now let me ask you this. I read that if I have 64 bit hardware I should use 64 bit. But 32 bit is more compatible. SHould I switch to 64 bit | 03:40 |
| yannick | reflexion | 03:40 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, its only a big issue if you more than 4 GB of ram | 03:41 |
| enteL | 64 bit if memory allows | 03:41 |
| Colonel187 | I have 8 | 03:41 |
| yannick | ok | 03:41 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, can you pastebin sudo fdisk -lu http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 03:41 |
| RaverX3X | ya hold on lol | 03:41 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, than you should use 64 bit, otherwhise only 4 GB will be utilized | 03:41 |
| yannick | nope for me | 03:41 |
| Colonel187 | is it the alternait install | 03:41 |
| Colonel187 | lol alternate | 03:41 |
| yannick | correct | 03:42 |
| Colonel187 | ok. going to try it. | 03:42 |
| zorg24 | Colonel187, http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso or if you prefer torrents http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent | 03:42 |
| Colonel187 | i'll come back and let you know if it works or not | 03:42 |
| yannick | no need for me | 03:43 |
| zorg24 | ok good luck Colonel187 | 03:43 |
| yannick | ok | 03:43 |

| RaverX3X | fyodorovna www.pastebin.com/q1VCdaz9 | 03:43 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, from a terminal on the OS sudo grub-install /dev/sde then sudo update grub Do you still get a no mbr with these. | 03:44 |
| Fyodorovna | RaverX3X, sorry sudo update-grub hehe you probably know that already. | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | RaverX3X: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" | 03:46 |
| Fyodorovna | +1 | 03:47 |
| Chamunks | any way to completely remove Oracle java 7 from ubuntu if its not been installed via apt. | 03:47 |
| enteL | Chamunks: checkinstall next time | 03:48 |
| RaverX3X | ya i still get those errors fyodorovna | 03:48 |
| Chamunks | enteL, im sorry? | 03:48 |
| Chamunks | i dont know exactly what checkinstall does. | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | RaverX3X: That will ask you a few questions, one of which is where the grub-pc package should install grub's boot sector on upgrades. Right now it's probably configured to install grub's boot sector to the USB drive on package upgrades. Make sure to configure it to install grub's boot sector to the MBR of the drive that your BIOS will boot from (*not* to a partition). Use space bar to select / unselect a device and enter to continue. | 03:49 |
| enteL | Chamunks: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ | 03:49 |
| RaverX3X | oktried the sudo dpkg-reconfigure and i get trub-pc is broken or not fully installed | 03:50 |
| RaverX3X | err grub | 03:50 |
| RaverX3X | not trub lol | 03:50 |
| Chamunks | enteL, well thats an great tool wish they had that for windoze anyways so basically im screwed tho? | 03:50 |
| enteL | Chamunks: no, not screwed | 03:50 |
| yannick | ok | 03:52 |
| Chamunks | enteL, looks like i might have removed it. | 03:53 |
| databack | best Linux distro to run through Virtual Box? | 03:53 |
| dwakar | databask arch linux lol | 03:53 |
| yannick | nope | 03:53 |
| yannick | ;) | 03:53 |
| databack | i started to run arch linux | 03:53 |
| RaverX3X | sence i cant get the damm grub loader off of the flash drive | 03:53 |
| databack | looking around though | 03:53 |
| rgates414 | Followed directions for bcm43xx problems to a *T*... still no wireless... | 03:53 |
| yannick | I say Gentoo | 03:54 |
| databack | Ubuntu ran nicely through Virtual Box | 03:54 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | hi, doesn't this mean run this command every two hours? * */2 * * * /var/www/scripts/crons/readfeeds.sh | 03:54 |
| yannick | but pointless in this chan ... | 03:54 |
| databack | How does Gentoo compare to Ubuntu? | 03:54 |
| RedSocrates | Almost totally different | 03:54 |
| yannick | yep | 03:54 |
| yannick | as I said | 03:54 |
| yannick | but pointless in this chan ... | 03:55 |
| databack | like how | 03:55 |
| yannick | do not know | 03:55 |
| rgates414 | Anyone have any advice? | 03:56 |
| databack | good chat | 03:56 |
| yannick | thx | 03:56 |
| RedSocrates | databack, Gentoo is entirely source-based, Ubuntu is not, they use different package managers, the installation process for Gentoo is a learning experience whereas for Ubuntu it is supposed to be point and click, etc. | 03:56 |
| yannick | thx | 03:56 |
| databack | red, thanks | 03:57 |
| yannick | sorry for that | 03:57 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: wait you have to compile all the packages? | 03:57 |
| Chamunks | enteL, so installing "jre-6u33-linux-x64.bin" I could run that install with a checkinstall? | 03:58 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, yes | 03:58 |
| MEEDORIKEX | whats up people | 03:58 |
| capa | hi, i have ubuntu 32 bits installed and i'm willing to install 64 bits I only have 4GB of ram and my processor supports 64 bits. I will lose sth? | 03:58 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: fun huh | 03:58 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, Well, at least when it comes to officially provided software | 03:58 |
| RaverX3X | guess ill redownload burn a cd | 03:59 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, some people think it's fun, I guess for the tinkering aspect of it, plus it gives you a lot more control over what is installed on your system | 03:59 |
| RaverX3X | and re install lol | 03:59 |
| RaverX3X | sence there would be no way | 03:59 |
| yannick | :) | 03:59 |
| RaverX3X | for it to install it to the cd | 03:59 |
| rgates414 | Need a hand. Can anyone help? | 03:59 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: yeah more flexible | 03:59 |
| RaverX3X | and oh i picked the HDD as the primary boot | 04:00 |
| RaverX3X | looked at install log | 04:00 |
| RaverX3X | unless u know a way to wipe the grub loader off the flash drive | 04:00 |
| RaverX3X | without killing the bootable flash drive | 04:00 |
| RedSocrates | !ask > rgates414 | 04:00 |
| ubottu | rgates414, please see my private message | 04:00 |
| yannick | nice job | 04:00 |
| Chamunks | Can I Checkinstall my java.bin file? | 04:01 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: install takes more time | 04:01 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, yes, much more time | 04:01 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: guess i'll "try ubuntu" first , it has a live cd or something right | 04:02 |
| dwakar | i mena try gentoo first | 04:02 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, What's your goal? | 04:02 |
| yannick | are you sure? | 04:02 |
| dwakar | my goal = try gentoo with a live cd if it has | 04:03 |
| rgates414 | Trying to get my wireless card working. Yes, it's a damn Broadcom 4322. Already been to the wifidocs page and followed the directions to a freaking t and still no wifi. No idea where to go from here. Any help is appreciated. | 04:03 |
| yannick | usb stick? | 04:03 |
| yannick | no time for that sorry | 04:03 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, first, I want to make sure I didn't confuse you. You have to compile everything when using Gentoo. You don't have to do that for Ubuntu. That's what you want? | 04:03 |
| enteL | broadcom wireless cards >_< | 04:04 |
| yannick | lol | 04:04 |
| enteL | ive had my battles | 04:04 |
| yannick | ;) | 04:04 |
| dwakar | RedSocrates: you mean you have to install it to try it? | 04:04 |
| yannick | you sould ... | 04:04 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, no, you don't. Both Ubuntu and Gentoo have LiveCDs. | 04:05 |
| dwakar | ok RedSocrates thanks | 04:05 |
| yannick | perfect | 04:05 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, I'm just surprised that you want to try Gentoo, since it sounds like you are rather new to Linux (no offense intended). I want to be sure you understand that Gentoo is the one with the very long, difficult process | 04:06 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: what is it that you want to achieve exactly? didn't get why you wanted to remove java 7 and go back to java 6 exactly | 04:06 |
| Chamunks | minecraft | 04:06 |
| yannick | totaly true | 04:06 |
| Chamunks | always poops the bed in java7 | 04:06 |
| Chamunks | and openjdk argues with it also. | 04:06 |
| yannick | RedSocrates : O | 04:06 |
| dwakar | yeah RedSocrates none taken that's how you learn | 04:07 |
| Chamunks | so im trying to install from the jre-6u33-linux-x64.bin downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre6-downloads-1637595.html | 04:07 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: so right now your system is without java alltogether ? | 04:07 |
| Magiobiwan | Hmm. | 04:07 |
| RedSocrates | dwakar, Okay, no problem, just making sure. Have fun :) | 04:07 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, i believe i've pulled it all off yeah | 04:07 |
| Magiobiwan | So, Ubuntu doesn't seen to recognize my Intel 945 GM graphics Chipset. | 04:07 |
| yannick | no time for that | 04:07 |
| Magiobiwan | I just did a clean install, so I'm installing Updates now. | 04:08 |

| glitsj16 | Chamunks: does minecraft throw any errors with java 7 or was your java install borked? | 04:10 |
| RaverX3X | thanks for trying to help | 04:10 |
| yannick | ;) | 04:10 |
| Chamunks | its hard to tell i've only really had problems with it in java 7 and java 6 when it works it simply works. | 04:10 |
| Chamunks | I can try reinstalling java7 | 04:10 |
| yannick | yep | 04:11 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, and let you know what the errors are if need be | 04:11 |

| glitsj16 | Chamunks: ok, take a look at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html .. it basically installs everything for you | 04:11 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, fair | 04:12 |

| Magiobiwan | glitsj16: MC switches depending upon the detected Java Version | 04:27 |
| Chamunks | its just a loader that pulls down other files from minecraft.net | 04:28 |
| Chamunks | so thats something we dont see on our side. | 04:28 |
| BUSTACAP | I've been having very bad virtualbox performance after it's running for a short period of time and it seems like video lag to me. | 04:28 |
| glitsj16 | Magiobiwan: ok thanks | 04:28 |
| Chamunks | Magiobiwan, thanks for the verify. | 04:28 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: looking at some things, like http://www.proppedup.org/2011/04/01/minecraft-on-ununtu-with-java-7/ .. please give me a minute | 04:31 |

| sirriffsalot | Hi! When jackd is running the vlc-jack-plugin does not work with videos. After a few seconds the video starts lagging increasingly until the sound finally disappears..? | 04:33 |
| d3v1an7 | Any reason why I would need to an IP to both csf.allow, even after adding it to csf.ignore? | 04:33 |

| prkchp_sndwch | hi. I'm running 10.04 and I have the winxp driver for netgear's wg311v3 wireless pci nic installed on ndiswrapper but networkmanager applet isn't showing this device. ndiswrapper -l says the device is found. does anybody know what could be wrong? | 04:34 |

| RaverX3X | to install the nvidia ones in ubuntu 12.04 how do u bring down x | 04:39 |
| dwakar | BUSTACAP: try lspci -v and see VGA | 04:39 |

| Magiobiwan | Now, will it let me select my external monitor's native resolution... | 04:40 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, ok nvm made zero difference. | 04:40 |
| Magiobiwan | Is there a way I can tell Ubuntu to send a 1280x1024 signal to my external monitor? | 04:41 |
| Magiobiwan | It currently shows as Unknown, with 1024x768 and 800x600 as my only options. | 04:42 |
| Chamunks | Magiobiwan, it used to be under xorg but i've had the worst problems with that and the last i checked they were changing how that was to be working. | 04:43 |
| Magiobiwan | It sees my laptop's internal, but dead, display fine and offers up the native on IT | 04:43 |
| Magiobiwan | Which is 1280x800 | 04:43 |

| aoo | just like executing original executables? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | iharp: if you put it in /usr/bin it will be accessible without a path | 06:02 |

| ActionParsnip | iharp: or use what aoo said :) | 06:03 |
| iharp | Is that the "PATH=$PATH" that you are refferencing to? | 06:04 |

| enteL | SecretFire: calibre? | 07:10 |
| blubee | reading regular pdfs arent a problem, when i go into citibank online, that seems to be the only time that i get an error that i cannot view .pdf files, citibank uses some type of in page embedded pdf | 07:10 |
| SecretFire | nevermind | 07:10 |
| DJones | SecretFire: Also look at fbreader I use that on my phone & tablet, but its also available for ubuntu | 07:10 |
| enteL | blubee: i cant help but to feel it seems shady, citibank? | 07:10 |
| enteL | i dont want to jump gun but damn that sounds shady | 07:11 |
| blubee | yea, maybe it has something to do with citibank webpages being https:// but i am not all too sure, its just annoying, neither firefox nor chrome work for viewing online statements | 07:12 |
| L3top | what is shady about an online statement? | 07:12 |
| fishbait | i got full screen youtube working but it only work on hd videos regardless of whether they are actually playing in hd hwo do i get this to work for every video i'm using dual monitor single desktop with xinerama. | 07:12 |
| Jordan_U | enteL: That doesn't sound at all "shady" to me, just poorly implemented. | 07:13 |
| salso | hello | 07:13 |
| fishbait | i wonder if hd has to do with monitor capabilites? | 07:14 |
| histo | fishbait: flash has issues with dual screens in linux | 07:14 |
| enteL | page embedded pdf | 07:14 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| enteL | yea it is poor | 07:15 |
| fishbait | histo: i got it working with hd capable videos 100% proper by switching from multi-desktop to single desktop per monitor and enabling xinerama | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | blubee: Most websites simply link to PDFs and if you don't have a viewer then they download and you can't open them, if you do have a reader they may download or they may display in the browser. It sounds like your bank is checking what plugins your browser has, seeing that you don't have adobe reader, and not even trying to give you the PDF. | 07:15 |
| enteL | i dont want a pdf and i surely dont want it "embedded" into a "page" | 07:15 |
| nocturn | Hi, I'm trying to install 12.04 from alternate on my laptop. The CD boots, but the screen is garbled and unreadable, what can I do t fix this? | 07:15 |
| enteL | isnt citibank somewhat popular too, tsk tsk | 07:16 |
| histo | fishbait: there was another workaround on that page that looked promissing editing the plugin with a hex editor. Not sure if you want to try that. Or use the browser plugins for it | 07:16 |
| histo | !md5sum | nocturn | 07:16 |
| ubottu | nocturn: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | blubee: There are Ubuntu packages for Adobe reader which should work. It may be possible to lie to the website and tell it that you have adobe reader when you don't, to get it to display using Chrome's plugin, but I don't know how to do that. | 07:17 |
| histo | nocturn: also try booting holding the shift key just after your bios posts. But I would check your CD | 07:17 |
| blubee | Jordan_U most websites chrome just loads up the pdfs no problem, its just this crazy citibank.com site, i have no idea whats going on with them | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | blubee: What part of my explanation don't you understand? | 07:19 |
| nocturn | histo: checking the hash now | 07:19 |
| blubee | you told me the bank is probably checking my plugins and not handing over the pdf | 07:20 |
| nocturn | histo: what will holding shift do? | 07:20 |
| blubee | i understand that, thats why i am asking how can i fix it, sorry for being dense but i dont get what you were trying to say | 07:20 |
| ajah | nm-applet doesnt show up even when i start it from shell how to fix that? | 07:21 |
| histo | nocturn: bring up the grub boot menu | 07:22 |
| histo | nocturn: rather than the pretty gui garbage | 07:22 |
| nocturn | histo: ok, and than I can force some resolution in grub? | 07:23 |
| histo | nocturn: shift or control. I'm pretty sure it's shift | 07:23 |
| histo | nocturn: yeah | 07:23 |

| blubee | Jordan_U thanks, i was just looking to uninstall chrome, last time i installed it from a .deb file but for some reason the name on the package manager was google chrome, it didn't even look official, i will try to download and reinstall again and hope it goes better this time. btw I already have adobe reader installed | 07:33 |

| enteL | ya | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | blubee: Sorry, I misunderstood and didn't realize that you already had the official plugin installed. | 07:36 |
| blubee | yea the official plugin is already installed, on windows i was able to do adobe preferences enable internet preview, then in chrome disable google pdf preview, but on ubuntu there is no option to enable adobe reader and google pdf viewer doesn't work | 07:37 |
| histo | blubee: it's removed from chromium I believe but there are ways to get it enabled. | 07:39 |
| blubee | histo is chrome and chromium the same? | 07:39 |
| histo | blubee: you just need the pdf viewer plugin they don't distribute it with chromium in linux | 07:40 |
| histo | blubee: http://gordonazmo.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/how-to-enable-googles-pdf-plugin-in-chromium/ here is one way i'm sure there is a package in apt to do this though | 07:40 |
| blubee | histo thanks let me take a look at this, i'll be back hopefully with good news, i had no idea they wouldn't bundle it with official chrome on linux, man thats insane. brb | 07:41 |
| histo | blubee: that's one o fthe differences from chrome to chromium | 07:42 |

| unknown45682 | does anybody know of a more up-to-date alternative to metavnc? i want to be able to view and control only certain windows from another pc | 08:02 |
| unknown45682 | and cross-compatible so i can control certain windows on a windows computer from linux | 08:03 |
| unknown45682 | so that was i can seemlessly manage windows programs inside linux | 08:04 |
| unknown45682 | was = way | 08:04 |
| unknown45682 | does something like this exist? | 08:04 |
| soa2ii | histo: So which repos are covered by the LTS policy? | 08:04 |
| histo | soa2ii: i'm kind of confused becuase it doesn't say universe is unsupported but it says multiverse is. Here | 08:05 |

| yannick | ok | 08:11 |
| histo | unknown45682: have you tried metavnc? | 08:11 |
| unknown45682 | histo: no, because the other pc i want to view is windows 7 and metavnc only works up to XP according to the sys requirements | 08:12 |
| pkkm | My computer suddenly restarted. Which logs will be most useful for diagnosing the cause? | 08:13 |
| histo | unknown45682: ahh.. well I can't find any others that work the way metavnc works. You could try tightvnc or teamviewer | 08:14 |
| unknown45682 | yea those are fine just to vnc into the whole pc | 08:14 |
| unknown45682 | oh well | 08:14 |
| unknown45682 | i use teamviewer right now | 08:14 |
| histo | unknown45682: teamviewer is nice | 08:14 |
| histo | unknown45682: or you can setup tightvnc | 08:14 |
| unknown45682 | what would tightvnc do? | 08:15 |
| histo | unknown45682: you can also use rdesktop to remote desktop into a windows machine from linux | 08:15 |
| histo | unknown45682: using it's native rdp protocol | 08:15 |

| Layke2 | I'm confused, how can I use ssh-copy-id when I log in to the remote server with a SSH key aswell? | 09:46 |
| rick___ | hi | 09:46 |
| Layke2 | I need to specify -i, to tell ssh-copy-id which key to copy, but I also need to use -i for my credentials to log in? | 09:46 |
| rick___ | I'd like to know if I can use pirated software within Ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| BrixSat | rick___: lol we dont support piracy here :) | 09:47 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: yes if you specify non-default key to be installed to remote machine, you need to specify to use it when you connect to the remote server | 09:47 |
| Layke2 | susundbe1g, Yes, that's what I would like. But I don't know how to specify it? | 09:48 |
| rick___ | which linux distro support piracy? | 09:48 |
| Layke2 | ie, my key is called master.pem | 09:48 |
| mimi_ | MonkeyDust, histo ...found it! ...opened Nautilus as root and went to : filesystem>home>[users profile name]>.skype ...there are all the config files etc !! thanks :/ | 09:48 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, there isn't any OS that supports piracy. | 09:48 |
| Layke2 | rick___, #foss does | 09:49 |
| Layke2 | Ask in there | 09:49 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: huh, i am not sure if such key is supported by ssh-program. I have used ssh-keygen to generate my keys and then ssh -i <private key file> to connect | 09:49 |
| IdleOne | Layke2: please be helpful and don't send people to channels to ask question that would essentially be seen as trolling | 09:49 |
| Layke2 | IdleOne, Sorry. | 09:50 |
| IdleOne | no worries. | 09:50 |
| Layke2 | (Not even sure it was a real channel anyway) ;) | 09:50 |
| BrixSat | rick___: none linux distro supports piracy! if you run pirated soft in there its your problem! | 09:50 |
| Layke2 | Assuming it would be | 09:50 |
| rick___ | so none of you uses pirated apps? | 09:50 |
| Layke2 | Anyway, susundbe1g But you still have to copy your key to the remote server. | 09:50 |
| rick___ | or movies? | 09:50 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, that's not the point. | 09:50 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, piracy is illegal. Therefor it isn't officially supported. This is an official support channel. | 09:51 |
| morthor | hello | 09:51 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, if you want help with breaking the law, you'll need to find another place to help you. | 09:51 |

| ubottu | rick___: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 09:51 |
| BrixSat | rick___: at least i dont use piracy! Since i left windows im totaly legal :) | 09:51 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: yes, one needs to deploy the key to server, and the key must be in such format that the ssh-server running in the remote server regognizes it | 09:51 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| mimi_ | MonkeyDust, histo ...you guys are no fun ...thanks anyway ... ciao | 09:51 |
| rick___ | sorry | 09:52 |
| Layke2 | Okay, I just assumed that I could use ssh-copy-id and log in to the remote server using a non-default SSH key | 09:52 |
| morthor | hello, i have a question | 09:52 |
| susundbe1g | (and it must be with proper ownership etc too, but i guess the deploy step with ssh-copy-id handles that ..) | 09:52 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: it should be ssh-copy-id -i <my key> my-user@my_remote_server and then ssh -i <my key> my-user@my_remote_server | 09:53 |
| rick___ | mayb in linux its not needed | 09:53 |
| rick___ | anymore | 09:53 |
| rick___ | thanks | 09:53 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, piracy isn't "needed" in any OS | 09:53 |
| rick___ | thanks 4 linux | 09:53 |
| morthor | when does the new moonlight get relised? | 09:53 |
| susundbe1g | Piracy is so last season, nowdays we write our own software and share it for free for all ;) | 09:53 |
| Hyperbyte | rick___, but yes, if you want a free office suite, photoshop equivalent, and lots more, then Linux is for you. | 09:53 |
| BrixSat | susundbe1g: :D thats the spirit! | 09:53 |
| mimi_ | MonkeyDust, histo ...hey... for your info ...I the file that had all of my skype account info in it ...and now skype starts up and doesn't crash. Cool huh!? ;) ...well, for now anyway LOL | 09:53 |
| mimi_ | I love this :)) | 09:54 |
| Layke2 | susundbe1g, Yeah, but my remote server is secured with a key. So I get: "Permission denied (publickey)." | 09:54 |
| mimi_ | MonkeyDust, histo ...oops there was meant to be 'deleted the file' in there .. | 09:54 |
| mimi_ | ok | 09:54 |
| mimi_ | I'll stop now ... | 09:54 |
| BrixSat | hello, i have alsa in my systen and not the pulse audio. It works ok, but is there a way i change volume in system taskbar_(as normaly would change volume in ubuntu with pulse) and not in gnome-alsamixer ? | 09:54 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: so there is something wrong with the key. it can be almost anything from 'format not known' to 'wrong permission' | 09:54 |
| Hyperbyte | BrixSat, out of curiousity, why are you using alsa? | 09:55 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: you need to see the server log why it does not accept the public key, or at least so i have debugged such situations | 09:55 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: i need rivendell audio and it only works with alsa! | 09:56 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: if you do not have root permission (to start ssh server with more logging) you should be also able to run that as normal user with non standard port | 09:56 |
| Layke2 | susundbe1g, I'm not sure if I'm wrong, or haven't explained myself (I'm not being rude in case that sounded it). But, I have my local server, and I have my remote server. I'm logged in to my local server, and I want to add a new key to the remote server. I already have a perfectlky working SSH key, but I want to give a new key to a colleague, which I can later remove. | 09:56 |
| Hyperbyte | BrixSat, you're using Rivendell? Awesome. What for exactly? | 09:56 |
| Layke2 | soa2ii, in order to deploy the new key, I *have* to use my SSH key that already connects to the server | 09:56 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: radio show every evening at 12pm :) | 09:56 |
| Layke2 | soa2ii, (Sorry bad ping). | 09:56 |
| Hyperbyte | BrixSat, cool. We've been thinking at deploying it at the radio station I volunteer at. How are you liking it? | 09:57 |
| Layke2 | susundbe1g, Since my remote server is secured with a key. | 09:57 |
| bobweaver | Layke2, ssh-import ? | 09:57 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: oh, sorry i had misunderstood. I think the ssh-copy-id does not support such setup, you need to deploy the key manually | 09:57 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | I HAVE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD AND CAN'T TURN CAPS OFF WHAT I DO? | 09:57 |
| bobweaver | sorry ssh-copy-id sorry again | 09:57 |
| Layke2 | susundbe1g, Yup. That's what I thought :) | 09:57 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: its cool, kind of dificult to start of... but its easy to insert audio, and prepare the audio, you just need a lot of extra space cause it converts all for wav | 09:58 |
| Layke2 | I'm comfortable with deploying manually. I just wanted to try and learn something new if I was wrong. | 09:58 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: the only thing i havent been able to do is automated playout | 09:58 |
| susundbe1g | Layke2: just append the public key to .ssh/authorized_keys file | 09:58 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | ... | 09:58 |
| bobweaver | !ssh | Layke2 | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Layke2: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 09:58 |

| Hyperbyte | BrixSat, looks like airtime is more for one radio show, not for an entire station. | 10:07 |
| IdleOne | !sudo | Guest34809 | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Guest34809: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:08 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: airtime is more for the "autodj" and dj's would stream from home to there. Not good for fm radio station | 10:08 |
| BrixSat | Hyperbyte: airtime is ideal for webradios where everybody broadcasts from home | 10:08 |
| Hyperbyte | BrixSat, will Rivendell be able to carry a whole station though? | 10:09 |
| Hyperbyte | Automatic news & traffic reports, non-stop playlist, program scheduling, etc? | 10:09 |

| BrixSat | ScottHarrison: be more explicit please. you want shows to listen? | 10:10 |

| Carr0t|work | lo all, quick question i'm hoping someone can answer as my googling failed me. I've just tried 12.04 after being on 10.04 and Windows for ages, so i'm getting used to Unity. I've installed Pidgin (IM client). It appears in the dock, but when I close the main window it is still running in the background. With normal gnome if I closed the main window Pidgin actually exited, and on Windows if I | 10:16 |
| Carr0t|work | close the main window I can then exit the app completely using the Notification Area. Is there a 'nice' way to exit an app that backgrounds itself like this, or do I have to load a terminal and kill the process? | 10:16 |

| e__ | hello? | 10:41 |
| rocki34 | So, I just installed a fresh version of ubuntu Precise. Anyone know a list of software I should install? | 10:42 |
| MonkeyDust | rocki34 istall the software you need, when you need it | 10:42 |
| L3top | That is really a google question rocki34. This chan is just for support. | 10:43 |
| NictraSavios | Is putting lines on the sysctnl.conf file the same as putting them on the grub command line? | 10:43 |
| rocki34 | MonkeyDust: Thing is, I don't always have internet access, so I would just like to install everything now. | 10:43 |
| L3top | e__: does the device appear in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? | 10:43 |
| MonkeyDust | rocki34 we cannot know what software you need | 10:43 |
| bobweaver | rocki34, depends on you user case meaning what do you need maybe talk about it on the Ubuntu-offtopic channel as it is a little offtopic and this is a support channel | 10:44 |
| MonkeyDust | rocki34 http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin | 10:45 |

| NictraSavios | rocki34 Yeah, like the stuff you use is probably different from what I use. I install lmms and tons of programming tools, would you like them? aha. Nobody can give you a list of what you want | 10:46 |
| L3top | e__: and you have another wireless device connected? | 10:46 |

| e__ | hello? | 10:52 |
| NictraSavios | e__, Hello :P | 10:52 |
| caddoo | the notifications in ubunutu used by apps. How do I hide them when they appear | 10:52 |
| caddoo | clicking does nothing, just makes them semi-transparent when i mouse over | 10:52 |
| NictraSavios | caddoo, ^ One of the reasons I switched to gnome 3... | 10:52 |
| L3top | e__: the system does not recognize your card, clearly. Have you tried installing drivers for it? | 10:52 |
| bobweaver | depends caddoo you can turn them off on most apps | 10:52 |
| caddoo | I don't mind them | 10:53 |
| caddoo | but if i need to hide them quick | 10:53 |
| caddoo | because sometimes its private stuff up there you don't want people to see | 10:53 |
| e__ | yes | 10:53 |
| e__ | its using the hostapd drivers | 10:53 |
| bobweaver | not sure how lib-unity uses notify-send caddoo | 10:53 |
| e__ | but i think the card needs flashing | 10:54 |
| NictraSavios | caddoo, Yeah, again, I don't know how and I tried everything when I used unity. I switched and I'll never look back :D | 10:55 |
| bobweaver | caddoo, unity 3d or 2d ? | 10:56 |
| caddoo | I'm not actually using ubuntu, im using elementary OS | 10:56 |
| === dape23 is now known as dape8708 | ||
| caddoo | so no unity | 10:56 |
| e__ | im trying to install aircrack, but theres loads of errors | 10:56 |
| NictraSavios | e__, Why do you want aircrack? | 10:56 |
| e__ | to test my home network | 10:57 |
| MonkeyDust | is aircrack supported here? | 10:57 |
| caddoo | lol | 10:57 |
| bobweaver | caddoo, oh out of my scope good luck | 10:57 |
| NictraSavios | e__ Nice cover. | 10:57 |
| e__ | so any help? | 10:57 |
| NictraSavios | e__, I normally use backtrack for that stuff, I keep ubuntu clean | 10:57 |
| caddoo | e__: are you sudo installing? | 10:57 |
| caddoo | thats my only input | 10:58 |
| e__ | backtrack? | 10:58 |

| NictraSavios | e__, Yeah, its not in the ubuntu repos. | 10:59 |
| NictraSavios | For good reason... | 10:59 |
| e__ | ok | 10:59 |
| 65MAAWBMU | How can I unmount a read-only filesystem? | 10:59 |
| e__ | how to i register? | 10:59 |
| NictraSavios | Keep pen-testing and ever-day use separate. | 10:59 |
| L3top | 65MAAWBMU: umount | 10:59 |
| 65MAAWBMU | I do that, it's content, but df still lists it. | 11:00 |
| caddoo | e__: you need to be registered on this irc network | 11:00 |
| caddoo | type /msg nickserv register help | 11:00 |
| DJones | !register | e__ | 11:00 |
| ubottu | e__: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 11:00 |
| e__ | yes, ive forgotten how to log on, im registered | 11:00 |
| caddoo | !identify | e__ | 11:00 |
| ubottu | e__: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 11:00 |
| L3top | 65MAAWBMU: try umount -lf... being read only makes no difference. | 11:00 |
| bobweaver | e__, /join #freenode ask them they will help | 11:00 |
| bobweaver | if you lost password ect ^^ that is | 11:01 |
| L3top | 65MAAWBMU: I would also care what mount says, not df. | 11:03 |
| 65MAAWBMU | mount says /dev/sda1 is mounted on / | 11:04 |
| 65MAAWBMU | with (rw, errors=remount-ro) | 11:04 |
| 65MAAWBMU | Even after I did umount. | 11:04 |
| ghost-x | 5 | 11:06 |
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, you can't unmount the root filesystem | 11:11 |
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, more generally you can't unmount a filesystem that's in use, and the root filesystem always is | 11:11 |
| 65MAAWBMU | Ubuntu can't mount it, either... | 11:11 |
| 65MAAWBMU | How can I fix /etc/fstab back? | 11:12 |
| MonkeyDust | 65MAAWBMU you cannot repair a car engine while driving | 11:12 |
| 65MAAWBMU | Fair enough | 11:12 |
| virtx | is there a way to recompile *only* one module (ext2, in this case) using build directory in /lib/modules ? | 11:12 |
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, if there are things you have to do that needs that partition unmounted, you'll have to boot from a live CD. But what is it you're trying to do, what's the issue with fstab ? | 11:14 |
| 65MAAWBMU | I edited fstab but didn't edit menu.lst as well, and now Ubuntu can't mount / during boot, it says, and that's that. I can't edit fstab back because it's read-only | 11:15 |
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, is the whole filesystem read-only or only the fstab file ? | 11:16 |
| 65MAAWBMU | I think the whole filesystem, but I'm not sure how to tell. | 11:19 |
| 65MAAWBMU | /proc/mounts says / is rw... | 11:19 |
| === magentar_ is now known as magentar | ||
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, you're editing fstab as root, right ? | 11:20 |
| 65MAAWBMU | I'm in the root repair console thing, root@laptop | 11:20 |
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, hmm, if I remember correctly, at that stage the filesystem is indeed mounted read-only | 11:22 |
| === zenix`away is now known as zenix` | ||
| === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo | ||
| glebihan | 65MAAWBMU, there is a way to remount the filesystem read-write (but I don't remember how). The simplest way might be to use a live CD | 11:22 |
| 65MAAWBMU | Ok | 11:23 |
| vidirr_ | Ugh.. I tried out Kazam (screen recorder), and now even after purging it it STILL has an orange "region box" around my screen. | 11:26 |
| vidirr_ | Does anyone have any hints? | 11:26 |
| glebihan | vidirr_, isn't it simply still running ? did you logout and back in ? | 11:27 |
| vidirr_ | glebihan: Shouldn't it stop running after purging? | 11:27 |
| L3top | 65MAAWBMU: mount -o remount,rw / | 11:27 |
| glebihan | vidirr_, no, uninstalling an application doesn't stop it if it's running | 11:27 |
| bonez2046 | I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.xx and now several things are altered; I need to know how to get back the same keyboard mapping/configuration I had before | 11:29 |
| bonez2046 | for example, I use irssi/bitlbee to chat here. i used to just use 'alt-1' or whatever # is appropriate to jump to various windows in irssi, but now I have to use alt-p instead | 11:30 |
| 65MAAWBMU | L3top: fixed it with "mount --no-mtab -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /" woo :) | 11:31 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| MonkeyDust | bonez2046 try ctrl arrows to switch | 11:33 |
| bonez2046 | MonkeyDust: ok, those work but I like the alt-number key combinations too | 11:34 |
| bonez2046 | any way to get those back? | 11:34 |
| bonez2046 | I have 12.04 LTS, and though I like that I have upgraded I like the older gnome configuration better. I hate these icons...would prefer having access with menus at the top, where I can access everything | 11:36 |
| nokia | hi. Can someone explain how to change Ubuntu Server to a static ip instead off the installed dhcp pls. | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | bonez2046 that's unity, gnome3, type !classic if you want something similar to gnome2 | 11:37 |

| nokia | oops there's a server chat room ok | 11:37 |
| tucemiux | 12.04 is for netbooks as well? Or is there a netbok specific distro like remix? | 11:38 |
| MonkeyDust | tucemiux there isnt | 11:38 |
| tucemiux | MonkeyDust, so 12.04 should be good for a netbook then? | 11:39 |
| auronandace | tucemiux: sure | 11:39 |
| tucemiux | auronandace, thanks, im burning it to a cd right now. | 11:39 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 11:43 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 11:43 |

| bonez2046 | just '!classic' at a prompt? | 11:45 |
| auronandace | !classic | bonez2046 | 11:45 |
| ubottu | bonez2046: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 11:45 |
| Varikonniemi | what is the use then of =version tag | 11:45 |
| Varikonniemi | just to switch between the two versions of different ppa:S? | 11:46 |
| MonkeyDust | bonez2046 yeah, it's new, i'm getting used to it as we speak, prefer classic, too | 11:47 |
| bonez2046 | so, if I log out and back in I can select classic ubuntu at login? | 11:47 |
| pentagonpie | How safe is it, and what will be the implications of terminating the nautilus process? | 11:47 |
| auronandace | bonez2046: not in 11.10 and above | 11:48 |
| MonkeyDust | pentagonpie your file manager will close | 11:48 |
| auronandace | !notunity | bonez2046 | 11:48 |
| ubottu | bonez2046: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:48 |
| bonez2046 | auronandace: how then can I switch windows managers? | 11:48 |
| L3top | Varikonniemi: You can specify the repo (ppa in this case) that you wish to install from. There can be different versions available... however any upgrade etc will take the highest version. | 11:48 |
| L3top | !ppa | also Varikonniemi, be aware that | 11:49 |
| ubottu | also Varikonniemi, be aware that: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 11:49 |
| pentagonpie | MonkeyDust, And if I use Dolphin, is it ok? will I just won't be able to browse files using nautilus? | 11:49 |
| auronandace | bonez2046: install what you want and log out then choose what you want at the login screen | 11:49 |
| MonkeyDust | pentagonpie yes, you can use both | 11:49 |
| auronandace | bonez2046: gnome2 is no longer supported so you can't select it | 11:50 |
| auronandace | bonez2046: hence why the factoid i showed you suggests gnome-fallback as an alternative | 11:50 |
| pentagonpie | MonkeyDust, But if I want to save ram, can I terminate nautilus and use dolphin exclusively? | 11:50 |
| Varikonniemi | the problem is that a gem would need multiple engine support. But the package is always same name, so cannot it be chosen different versons with =version | 11:50 |
| bonez2046 | thanks, auronandace | 11:50 |
| Varikonniemi | game* | 11:50 |
| auronandace | bonez2046: no worries :) | 11:51 |
| DjobiDjoba | greetings | 11:51 |
| L3top | Varikonniemi: I answered this. You can specify the REPO not just version, that it is drawn from. | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | pentagonpie best way to find out, is by trying, it's just closing and opening windows | 11:51 |
| Varikonniemi | L3top, do you have a suggestion how to achieve what i said is needed? | 11:52 |

| cfhowlett | roansh, do you get any kind of error message? | 12:25 |
| ashka | spillere: press alt and F2 and type in gksu jockey-gtk | 12:25 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, Nope. It plays those files, but just the voice all I can get. | 12:25 |
| ashka | you may have a driver to install | 12:25 |
| spillere | ashka: "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and then there is nothing on the progran | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, hmm. I installed both the restricted extras and medibuntu and haven't yet found a media file I couldn't play. assuming you have all codecs, a different media player might be called for... | 12:26 |
| sihfijsdfoisdjf | hello | 12:27 |
| ashka | spillere: what is the problem you have ? | 12:27 |
| spillere | doesnt recognize the VGA, so its slow and 800x600 | 12:27 |
| ashka | oh I see | 12:27 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, Yeah, I have other .wmv files, those I can play but not the ones I want to play. On previous versions of Ubuntu, these worked, though. | 12:27 |
| Onixs | w32codecs | 12:27 |
| sihfijsdfoisdjf | does anyone know the name of the Linux game frontend (a bit like steam) ,where you can download games. | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, stranger and stranger. sorry, IDK what could cause that kind of weird | 12:28 |

| MonkeyDust | sihfijsdfoisdjf http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html | 12:29 |
| spillere | ashka any ideas? | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, YOW, what? | 12:29 |
| roansh | I tried to play it through MPlayer and saw that error. | 12:29 |
| ashka | not at all, sorry | 12:29 |
| DJones | sihfijsdfoisdjf: Is this what you were thinking of http://www.desura.com/ | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, do you get all updates? Nothing "held back"? | 12:29 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, You mean the Ubuntu software updates? | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, yes | 12:30 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, I have a LOT of 'held back'. -.- | 12:30 |
| spillere | ashka ty anyway :) | 12:30 |
| sihfijsdfoisdjf | yes thats the one ,thank you very much DJones , thanks for the other links too, you guys are too good. | 12:31 |
| DJones | sihfijsdfoisdjf: I knew it began with a "D" just took a bit of googling to track it down :) | 12:31 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, does it matter to have it updated and I would be able to play those files? | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, ahh. try this: go into Update Manager/Settings and enable Source Code download | 12:31 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, Okay | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, *Update Manager/Settings/Ubuntu Software/Source Code* Just in case you're only getting partial updates | 12:33 |
| roansh | it is enabled, already... | 12:33 |
| roansh | there's a 'dash' at the box. | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, means not enabled. Should be an X | 12:34 |
| roansh | cfhowlett, I just can disable it.. cannot enable it totally. | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, not normal behavior... | 12:35 |
| roansh | other fours, above that are marked properly.. | 12:35 |
| roansh | this, i don't think. there's a dash.. if i click on it, it just disappears, and comes back on another click | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | roansh, abnormal. My theory: you do NOT have all the codecs installed. For instance, medibuntu does not update after an upgrade. You have to reinstall the entire package. I'd suggest reinstalled ubuntu-restricted-extras and enable the medibuntu repo and install that as well. | 12:37 |
| sarbull | does anyone uses Ubuntu 12.04 on an Alienware M11x | 12:38 |

They are a parasite that live inside your ass, and at night, after you've fallen asleep, they crawl out of your asshole to lay eggs, and then they woooooorm their way back in.

| glitchd | Pici, when i try to connect from the host machine, it doesnt find the server running on the virtual machine | 14:22 |
| glitchd | kanliot, thats not exactly right.. | 14:22 |
| glitchd | kanliot, i have it installed already. | 14:22 |
| Pici | glitchd: It sounds like you need to figure out the right network settings to use in your virtual machine. | 14:23 |
| hristoasenov | dougsko: i am testing a piece of software that can forward packets at 10GE NIC speeds | 14:23 |
| hristoasenov | dougsko: the software relies on the linux kernel for the routing | 14:23 |
| Pici | glitchd: What virtual machine software are you using? | 14:24 |
| Pumpkin- | PF_RING ? | 14:24 |
| glitchd | Pici, using NAT as my network setting wont work for this? | 14:24 |

| logolas | when i want | 14:35 |
| Nogal | Hey guys. I'm having some issues with my sound and I'm not sure where to start. Basically I was watching the linux action show when unity crashed on me, I've restarted (a few times to ensure) but now I can't seem to get any sound at all. It's not muted, and in the "sound settings" when I check 'test sound' I hear nothing. | 14:35 |
| logolas | when i want to use firefox 13 with hud it close and want to report bug to firerfox how i can fix it | 14:36 |
| logolas | ? | 14:36 |

| Ziber | So I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed, and have compiz installed as well, with Unity. It's all working fine except when I connect to a projector. I was told that compiz is probably the problem in that case. How can I temporary disable it? | 14:36 |

| Pici | sl3ax: aka, ask in #freenode | 14:39 |
| Slart | spolu: not an answer to your question but.. have you considered setting up sudo so a regular user can run dstat as root instead? | 14:39 |
| Hyperbyte | loganrun, depends on filesystem. See 'man fstab'. There you can enable/disable the fsck on boot. | 14:39 |

| logolas | ?? | 14:40 |
| logolas | ?? | 14:40 |
| Hyperbyte | spolu, type 'man sudoers' in a terminal <- there's your answer. You can set up sudo for the specific command, so users can run only that command as root. | 14:40 |

| MonkeyDust | Linix start with a question | 15:05 |
| Linix | I already asked like 20 lines up MonkeyDust: It's about FFMPEG | 15:06 |
| Ziber | So, unity + compiz + multiple displays? | 15:06 |
| Nagataka | austin, why not add that machine name in your /etc/hosts | 15:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Linix better repeat the question from time to time, but not too often | 15:06 |
| Linix | Guys, I'm having problems with FFMPEG recording. When I put this code http://pastebin.com/h3mih1hz I get this ERROR http://pastebin.com/hLvNFJnU Can you guys help me? MonkeyDust | 15:07 |
| Layke2 | Can someone advise on a simple bash script. I'm trying to check for changes to files in a certain directory, and then run a command when a change has been made.. | 15:08 |
| Layke2 | find /var/www/website/public/static/css/base -type f -name *.less -exec md5sum {} + | awk '{print $1}' | sort | md5sum | 15:08 |
| auronandace | Layke2: #bash may be of more help | 15:08 |
| DrManhattan | Linix, it means the -preset ultrafast option isn't working for you. | 15:08 |
| austin | nevermind, I edited etc/hosts and dropped it in and that was surprisingly effective | 15:08 |
| Layke2 | O thanks :) Yeah I'll ask there. | 15:08 |
| austin | nagataka: oh yes yes! thats what I just tried, worked well, thanks | 15:08 |

| JokesOnYou77 | Hi all, I'm trying to use curl to authenticate with Google client services as described here: https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/using_cURL but I keep getting Error=BadAuthentication. I can't figure out what's wrong, I think it has to do with cURL because it works fine when I do it from the windows command line. Can anyone help me out? | 15:09 |
| Linix | DrManhattan: What should I do then? I got this code from the web so I don't know what that means.. All I changed was the threads number and the resolution | 15:09 |
| drake01 | Hi guys, I don't intend to spam the channel.. But does anyone know good irc channel where I could discuss the salaries and cost of living in usa for a software developer? | 15:09 |
| DrManhattan | Linix, dont use -preset ultrafast | 15:09 |
| minihydra | How do I create guest readable folder? | 15:10 |
| bekks | Layke2: Take a look at fam, gamin or inotify | 15:10 |
| auronandace | !alis | drake01 | 15:10 |
| ubottu | drake01: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 15:10 |
| minihydra | cause a+rwx doesnt do shit | 15:10 |
| Layke2 | Thanks. :) I'll check em out bekks | 15:10 |
| Ziber | How do I "restart the X server"? What exactly is "the X server", for that matter? | 15:10 |
| bekks | Layke2: It means that copy & paste doesnt always work. Your ffmpeg does not have a "-preset" option. | 15:10 |
| Cow_woC | Hi. When I "apt-get install autoconf2.64" it also installs the latest version. Is there a way to tell apt-get to only install 2.64? | 15:10 |
| minihydra | Cow_woC: use synaptic and force version | 15:11 |
| MonkeyDust | !x| Ziber | 15:11 |
| ubottu | Ziber: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 15:11 |
| minihydra | Ziber: use google | 15:11 |
| Nagataka | Ziber just reboot the machine :) | 15:11 |
| bekks | Ziber: It is sufficient to log out completely and log back in. That will restart the X server (the fancy GUI whoch runs the desktop environment of your choice). | 15:11 |
| Linix | DrManhattan: I thought of that, but this happens http://pastebin.com/Kx30bAJV | 15:11 |
| MonkeyDust | minihydra don't say to use google, when people ask for help, please | 15:11 |
| bekks | Nagataka: Not needed. | 15:11 |
| Ziber | I see, thanks. | 15:11 |
| Nagataka | i knw | 15:11 |
| minihydra | ok use bind | 15:11 |
| minihydra | bing* | 15:11 |
| Nagataka | i know bekks .. but maybe the easiest solution :) | 15:12 |
| DrManhattan | Linix, you're going to need to read the manual. It doesn't appear you understand how to read your own error messages. | 15:12 |
| Linix | minihydra: Bing is the worst thing Microsoft has ever done. Even worse than Windows 8!! | 15:12 |
| minihydra | Anyway what kind of special unprivilege do guest accounts have? I seem to be unable to create directory that would be guest readable/writable. | 15:12 |
| bekks | Nagataka: More easy than logout/login? It doubt that, strongly. | 15:12 |
| Oli__ | I plugged a TV into my laptop with a DVI cable, but there is overscan. There appears to be nothing on the TV to fix it. How do I fix it from ubuntu? | 15:12 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: Sorry, can you elaborate? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. | 15:12 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: I don't see an option for forcing versions | 15:13 |
| Linix | DrManhattan: If I did I wouldn't be on the Official Ubuntu Support Channel... | 15:13 |
| minihydra | Linix: ofc, that was a joke on dont say use google, peaople should have heads on thier shoulders and should be able to do some basic stuff. | 15:13 |
| DrManhattan | Linix, alrighty. Best of luck. | 15:13 |
| Linix | minihydra: But if people ask is because they don't. I work and I don't like to waist people's time. If someone asks something is because they don't know and someone probably does | 15:14 |

| motorcity | Hello everyone, I have a problem. | 15:15 |
| Linix | ... | 15:15 |
| nannes | Hey | 15:16 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: I only get the option "lock version". | 15:16 |
| minihydra | Well im not havy ubuntu user anymore, so i cant comment on version forcing too much | 15:16 |
| minihydra | I just know there is such option and have used it some times | 15:17 |
| motorcity | When I go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server I am unable to download a .iso image. Any Ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? | 15:17 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: does it even make sense that "autoconf2.64" depends on "autoconf"? :) | 15:17 |
| minihydra | If it's unavailable most likelly you can downdrade | 15:17 |
| eee444 | hi, can someone help me get airodump to work with my dwl650 card? | 15:17 |
| nannes | I created a USB startup disk (unetbootin) to use Lubuntu Live. Trying to boot, but there's a problem: | 15:18 |
| nannes | "An error occurred while mounting / ... Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" | 15:18 |
| nannes | (skipping, the same problem appears with the others, like /proc/ etc.) | 15:18 |
| MonkeyDust | eee444 what is airodump and how is it ubuntu related? | 15:18 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: Okay, alternatively, if I allow it to install multiple versions how do I get the symbolic link /usr/bin/autoconf to point at a specific version? | 15:18 |
| livingdaylight | Hi, can anyone tell me please, the command that gives me output on hardware details such as my processor? | 15:18 |
| eee444 | im running it on ubuntu | 15:18 |
| bekks | Layke2: lshw | 15:18 |
| nannes | The shell says "Root filesystem check failed" | 15:18 |
| MonkeyDust | livingdaylight lspci | 15:18 |
| Cow_woC | minihydra: update-alternatives doesn't think "automake" has alternatives :) | 15:18 |
| bekks | livingdaylight: lshw | 15:18 |
| livingdaylight | MonkeyDust: thanks! its been a while :) | 15:18 |
| bekks | MonkeyDust: lspci never lists a processor. | 15:18 |
| Nagataka | motorcity, http://people.ubuntu.com/~marten-de-vries/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64-nl.iso the only problem is... that this is a dutch version xD | 15:19 |
| bekks | livingdaylight: lspci wont show your processor. | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | livingdaylight bekks answer is more accurate | 15:19 |
| livingdaylight | bekks | MonkeyDust lshw it is then. Thanks guys! | 15:19 |
| motorcity | Nagataka: am trying link on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 15:19 |
| Ziber | Okay, that totally skrewed up my resolution. How can I get the intel drivers for my graphics card? | 15:20 |
| Nagataka | yeah motorcity .. that link doesnt work for me neither | 15:20 |
| auronandace | Ziber: you shouldn't need to | 15:20 |
| motorcity | Nagataka: Glad it's not just me, then! | 15:20 |
| auronandace | Ziber: the intel drivers are included by default in the kernel | 15:20 |
| nannes | I created a USB startup disk (unetbootin) to use Lubuntu Live. Trying to boot, but there's a problem: | 15:20 |
| nannes | "An error occurred while mounting / ... Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" | 15:20 |
| nannes | (if I press S to skip, the same problem happens with the others, like /proc/ etc.) | 15:20 |
| nannes | (if I press M for manual recovery, a shell appears, ready to get commands, with a message in the upper zones: "Root filesystem check failed" | 15:20 |
| nannes | What can I do? D: | 15:20 |
| nannes | Please, help me | 15:20 |
| FloodBot1 | nannes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:20 |
| Ziber | Well, resolution is way too big. Going to restart again. | 15:21 |
| gitesh | I am on Ububntu 12.04 LTS. I want to try other GUI's . How do i do that? | 15:21 |
| auronandace | gitesh: install them and logout then pick them at the login screen | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | gitesh one way is by looking in the software center | 15:22 |
| nannes | gitesh: You simply install one of them, they will appear as choice at login screen :) | 15:22 |
| auronandace | gitesh: there's unity, gnome3, kde4, xfce, lxde and enlightenment | 15:23 |
| gitesh | which way do you suggest to install them? Terminal? | 15:23 |
| nannes | it's the same | 15:23 |
| auronandace | gitesh: i like using synaptic, but the software centre or just apt-get would do just fine too | 15:24 |
| nannes | synaptic and USC are only graphical interfaces for apt | 15:24 |
| quazimodo | guys whats the equivalent to .xinitrc in ubuntu | 15:24 |
| auronandace | nannes: yup | 15:24 |
| gitesh | ok, guys. I am gonna try USC. Thanks all. | 15:24 |
| quazimodo | i cant remember the file that executes on x login | 15:24 |
| nannes | pleaaaaase help me : '( | 15:25 |
| Ziber | So the resolution is really skrewed up. | 15:26 |
| wylde | !startup | quazimodo | 15:26 |
| ubottu | quazimodo: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 15:26 |
| Ziber | I mistakenly installed nvidia stuff, I guess. How can I make sure the proper drivers are in use and then how can I fix the resolution? | 15:27 |
| Ziber | In system settings, it's only giving me an option for one resolution... | 15:27 |
| nannes | Ziber: For the resolution, I'd have a look to Nvidia Control Panel | 15:27 |

| tzhuang | MonkeyDust: well the strange thing is | 15:28 |
| bwat47 | Ziber: Does your system *only* have intel, or does it have optimus (nvdia AND intel)? | 15:28 |
| tzhuang | MonkeyDust: it boot when i didn't have windows installed | 15:28 |
| Ziber | I have no idea. How would I find out? | 15:28 |
| Fyodorovna | nannes, the nomount is strange with a usb if it was me I would format it and reload it again, with what info we have so far, or try another usb loader. | 15:28 |
| tzhuang | MonkeyDust: but now it won't when i have a separate windows partition | 15:28 |
| nannes | ok :( | 15:29 |
| livingdaylight | is sudo apt-get update the correct command in kubuntu also? | 15:29 |

| smax | I can't get passed the grub menu, keyboard freezes. But I can see the contents of the hard drive from a usb boot stick (ubuntu). Would this be a physical problem? Or a corupt boot sector. | 15:36 |
| smax | how can I remedy this with out making it worse. | 15:36 |
| bwat47 | It seems to show that you only have an intel card, so you shouldn't need to have any extra drivers installed (intel supported out of the box). I'd uninstall the nvidia proprietary driver. | 15:36 |
| howdini | serve | 15:36 |
| howdini | <serve> | 15:36 |
| auronandace | smax: usb keyboard? | 15:36 |

| smax | auronandace: yes usb keyboard | 15:37 |
| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||

| howdini | BackWeedJ | 15:38 |

| bigot1 | well I have an Asus X51R | 15:40 |
| bwat47 | bigot1: also don't hit enter so much, try and keep things in one comment :) | 15:40 |
| bigot1 | it won't show screen after suspend | 15:40 |
| bigot1 | ok in one line sure | 15:40 |
| bwat47 | bigot1: does it just show a blinking cursor or something? Does it seem to suspend successfully (i.e. the fans etc.. turn off) | 15:40 |
| bigot1 | it suspends successfully but won't load afterwards | 15:41 |
| bigot1 | no cursor just black screen | 15:41 |

| Ziber | Nagataka: ? | 15:46 |
| bwat47 | Ziber: ok, so at least it looks like the correct driver is in use and working. If you open the display settings from the system preferences it doesn't let you select a better resolution? | 15:46 |
| bwat47 | Nagataka: ? that card should work fine out of the box generally | 15:46 |
| Ziber | there's only one resolution shown. 640 x 480. | 15:47 |
| Nagataka | True bwat47 , but getting it to work proper was a pain in the ass for me :) | 15:47 |
| bigot1 | MetalGodWin can you help with that? | 15:47 |
| Ziber | Nagataka: how did you? | 15:47 |
| bigot1 | or bwat47? | 15:47 |
| Nagataka | to be honest, no idea Ziber.. | 15:48 |
| Ziber | this was all working before i tried messing with drivers at all because of the projector... :( | 15:48 |
| Ziber | is there like a --revert option for something? | 15:49 |
| bwat47 | Ziber: same here, I am not quite sure why it won't let you change res. ever intel laptop I've used sets correct res automatically :( | 15:49 |
| MetalGodWin | I'm not sure, I'm not expert at such.. even though I actually had the same problem earlier. | 15:49 |
| MetalGodWin | And managed to solve it somehow* | 15:49 |
| Ziber | MetalGodWin: oh? | 15:49 |
| bigot1 | how? | 15:49 |
| Ziber | due to resolution crap, i can click the "detect displays" button in the displays menu in settings. | 15:50 |
| Ziber | heh. | 15:50 |
| MetalGodWin | I can't remember, I had the same problem with Ubuntu 9.xx or 10.xx.. so it's been a while.. hang on | 15:51 |
| Ziber | brb again | 15:51 |
| bigot1 | ok | 15:51 |
| bigot1 | I tried writing to /etc/default/grub and /etc/rc.local but had no success with that | 15:52 |
| bigot1 | I have another laptop where these work, but not on the X51R | 15:52 |
| bwat47 | bigot1: tried writing what to those locations? | 15:53 |
| bigot1 | well two lines on grub it was GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" | 15:53 |
| bigot1 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux" | 15:53 |
| bwat47 | bigot1: after doing so did you run "sudo update-grub" | 15:54 |
| bigot1 | and on rc.local was: sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=0 | 15:54 |
| bigot1 | I did | 15:54 |
| bigot1 | it works on my current laptop but not on that one | 15:54 |
| bekks | In rc.local, sudo is useless, and setpci has to have the full path. | 15:54 |
| bigot1 | it worked for me | 15:54 |
| bekks | And editing the /etc/default/grub requires sudo/gksu | 15:54 |
| bigot1 | I did it with sudo -s | 15:54 |
| bekks | The rc.local is run as root by default. | 15:55 |
| bekks | So sudo isnt nencessary :) | 15:55 |
| bigot1 | I can't save the file if I am not root | 15:55 |
| bigot1 | so I had to | 15:55 |
| bekks | You dont have to write "sudo setpci..." into it. | 15:55 |
| bekks | You have to run the _editor_ with sudo. | 15:55 |
| bwat47 | bigot1: he means the line you actually add to the file doesn't need sudo | 15:55 |
| bigot1 | oh | 15:56 |
| bigot1 | ok | 15:56 |
| bigot1 | well I copied it from a forum, it was written like that | 15:56 |
| MetalGodWin | brb | 15:56 |
| karthick87 | Is it possible to create useraccount via bash script ??? | 15:57 |
| bigot1 | maybe it won't be fixed maybe a new laptop | 15:57 |
| bekks | bigot1: ? | 15:57 |
| bekks | karthick87: Sure. | 15:57 |

| heligoland | MonkeyDust, I tried some stuff I found online, but nothing works yet | 16:01 |
| bwat47 | heligoland: what is the wifi adapter? | 16:01 |
| heligoland | bwat47, Belkin | 16:01 |
| Fyodorovna | nnamdi_, this is ubuntu support you might try ##linux | 16:01 |
| bwat47 | heligoland: model? | 16:01 |
| bekks | heligoland: which wifi chipset? | 16:02 |
| MetalGodWin | Who were the dude who had suspend-problem? | 16:02 |

| bwat47 | heligoland: thats a bit generic, would be more helpful if you had specific model number or the name of the wifi chipset it uses :) | 16:03 |
| bigot1 | MetalGodWin it is me with the suspend | 16:03 |
| ikonia | totic: $HOME/Desktop | 16:03 |

| bekks | heligoland: run the command I gave you. | 16:04 |
| heligoland | bekks, it doesn't | 16:04 |
| MetalGodWin | bigot1: I tried suspending myself, it worked.. but I wanted the log from it.. never suspended before on this machine. To get the log from suspending type "gedit /var/log/pm-suspend.log" | 16:04 |
| bekks | heligoland: Then put that output in a pastebin please. | 16:04 |
| MetalGodWin | or cat.. to print directly in terminal* | 16:05 |
| bwat47 | heligoland: hmm, that appears to use the ralink RT73 Wireless chipset, which *should* work out of the box in ubuntu. So it doesn't appear to be working at all, not showing wireless networks or anything? | 16:05 |
| bigot1 | ok Metal I will tell you what is written | 16:06 |
| heligoland | bekks: i can't put the output in a pastebin, i'm in a different room using the wired line | 16:06 |

| karthick87 | bekks: On executing bash script, i am getting this error "passwd: unrecognized option '--stdin'" How to fix it ?? | 16:08 |
| bekks | karthick87: By not using --stdin since it isnt a valid option for your "passwd". | 16:09 |
| MetalGodWin | bigot1: the log is rather long.. use http://pastebin.com/ instead to show the log | 16:10 |
| heligoland | bekks, http://pastebin.com/RYTfhfQq | 16:10 |
| bekks | karthick87: Use chpasswd instead. | 16:10 |
| bekks | heligoland: It is an USB device, isnt it? | 16:11 |
| heligoland | bekks, most def. | 16:11 |
| heligoland | bekks, i tried it in all 6 usb ports-nothing | 16:11 |
| bekks | heligoland: Does it work on another computer? | 16:11 |
| heligoland | bekks, it was working 1 hour ago on my old machine | 16:11 |
| heligoland | bekks,i thought i could use it on my new one | 16:12 |
| karthick87 | bekks: Its not working.... chpasswd: line 1: missing new password ........... | 16:12 |
| bekks | heligoland: Pull it, wait about 10s, put it back in, wait 10s, and then pastebin the output of "dmesg" please. | 16:12 |
| bekks | karthick87: well, you have to put a new password there. | 16:12 |

| DaSpawn | I am having a problem with booting an encrypted partition. I have started off a live disk but attempting update-initramfs causes cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to determine cipher modules to load for md1p1_crypt, and booting failes because it does not build initramfs with proper crypt setup, how do I fix my boot process? | 16:37 |
| bigot1 | ok metal | 16:37 |
| DaSpawn | also the data is fune and I can mount in live cd no problem | 16:37 |
| bigot1 | I sent you the log | 16:37 |

| DaSpawn | ( am guessing it can not determine encryption because it can not see root disk properly in chroot) | 17:08 |
| DaSpawn | how can I force all encryption modules to load into initramfs? | 17:08 |

| jjvv | ok ubott, obrigado, desculpe. | 17:11 |
| dagroves | kevinlu310: Well if you installed restricted drivers click on your dash and type in restricted drivers, open it up and it will tell you what one you installed or if any others you can try. They should be listed there, if they are not, I honestly would have no idea, it sounds like a driver issue. Not 100% sure though. | 17:11 |
| Muelli | hm DaSpawn. And then you booted and got the errors mentioned above..? | 17:11 |
| niddersfied | glitsj16: When I went to the site it told me to open up grub and when I did nothing was inside it O.O and when I did the command to show all my supported resolutions there was no 13** anything. | 17:11 |
| DaSpawn | (the first time it attempted to boot after update it just hang before it got to passphrase input) | 17:12 |
| DaSpawn | all of the old kernels have the same issue (they were built to use key device) | 17:12 |
| DaSpawn | the passphrase works just fine, but becuase the key does not exist it does not even attempt to ask for passphrase | 17:12 |
| glitsj16 | niddersfied: could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub please? that's quite weird | 17:13 |

| dagroves | glitsj16: niddersfied said hang on a sec | 17:15 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: how did you do it then? | 17:15 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: thanks, i missed that | 17:15 |
| DaSpawn | but since the initramfs will not load any of the drives, boot now gets through the passphrase, unlocks fine, but then can not find root and drops to busybox (I really do not understand how I can unlock the device without the proper encryption modules) | 17:15 |

Please change your input timing to 1366x768@60Hz or any other monitor listed timing as per the monitor specifications." It wont even show him the login screen, he is stuck at that message and has no idea what to do now. | 17:27 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: like how you recreated the initramfs | 17:28 |
| DaSpawn | update-initramfs -u -v | 17:28 |
| bwat47 | coon: try right clicking on any folder, hit "open with" and select your file manager as the default application to open folders. | 17:28 |
| DaSpawn | gets to Calling Hook cryptroot | 17:29 |
| coon | file browser? | 17:29 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: ok, let him reverse what he did by using http://www.kyleabaker.com/downloads/ubuntu/scripts/plymouth-resolution-fix-revert-back.sh.zip | 17:29 |
| DaSpawn | then device-mapper: table iocth failed: no such device or address | 17:29 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: *where* does this error appear? I.e. during creation of the ramdisk? | 17:30 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: when he ran that, let me know and we'll start from scratch | 17:30 |
| DaSpawn | (it does finish generating, but misses encryption modules) | 17:30 |
| bwat47 | coon: it depends what file browser you use, if you are using unity/gnome it should be nautilus (might show up as "files" in the open with dialogue) | 17:30 |
| dagroves | glitsj16: how is he going to run it when he cant even get to his desktop? | 17:30 |
| DaSpawn | it is in middle of "Adding module xyx" | 17:30 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: *where* does this error appear? I.e. during creation of the ramdisk? | 17:31 |
| DaSpawn | after calling hook copcache | 17:31 |

| DaSpawn | somewhere while running update-initramfs | 17:31 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: you are next to him, put the download on a stick and let him use recovery mode if he can get to that | 17:31 |
| DaSpawn | so guessing that is ramdisk (do not see any indication )\ | 17:31 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: k. Are you running the live cd now and do you have your sysimage mounted? Then pastebin us the output of "mount" | 17:31 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: or let me know if he can boot to recovery mode if you will | 17:32 |
| dagroves | glitsj16: he cant even get to the grub menu, when he boots his pc, he sees the bios, after the bios, everything dissapears and then that monitor message appears and never goes away, he cannot do anything but go into his bios | 17:32 |
| DaSpawn | running livecd, mounted encrypted disk (it is RAID, but that loads no problem), then mounted /dev /proc and /sys in the mount, then chrooted to mount, then tried update-initramfs | 17:32 |
| glitsj16 | dagroves: ok, do you guys have a live cd to boot from? | 17:33 |
| Muelli | DaSpawn: Then pastebin us the output of "mount" | 17:33 |
| dagroves | glitsj16: yes | 17:33 |

| bazhang | Phoenix87, quassel irc client can read http links and display the links/pictures/webpage/flash video or whatever, in your client alone however, not pasting it to the channel. no plugin needed | 18:11 |
| Phoenix87 | bazhang: for example say that I write the word FOOBAR on a channel. Any user on that channel using the plugin should not see FOOBAR, but rather an image | 18:11 |
| bazhang | Phoenix87, never heard of such a thing, and that would mean many / most in the channel were on the same irc client | 18:13 |
| snyp | What folders should I back up in ubuntu to get every software back the way it is currently after a new install? | 18:13 |
| raidghost | Have #ubuntu ever thought of getting a que system for questions asked in here? | 18:14 |
| bazhang | snyp, you want to clone an install? like a restore point? or what | 18:14 |
| snyp | yeah, a restore point would be the thing i need.. | 18:14 |
| ThinkT510 | raidghost: rather off topic and unhelpful suggestion | 18:14 |

| Jordan_U | Phoenix87: Plugins for IRC clients generally just modify text, I don't expect that you'll find any IRC client with plugin libraries aimed at drastically changing how messages are rendered. | 18:18 |

| chris- | Hi ! My question is please. I have fresh Install of Ubuntu 10.4. Now how do I get the rating app , that is normally displayed in "Ubuntu software center" ???? I am browsing on some software , but do not see the rating , people ,have posted ? Have done full update , but still no ratings shown o_O | 18:20 |
| chris- | HOW TO GET THEM ? | 18:20 |
| bwat47 | chris: afiak 10.04 has an older version of the software center that doesn't have that feature | 18:21 |
| delac | would someone know any ubuntu/gnome theme related channels? #gnome-art is pretty dead place. | 18:22 |
| chris- | @bwat47 , thank you for answering but I remember running linux mint based on ubu10.4 and Ubu10.4 itself at times and it did show me o_O I am confucious now. Are U shure ? | 18:22 |
| sarsaeol_ | delac i think deviant art has an irc | 18:23 |
| sarsaeol_ | delac: irc.devart.com #devart | 18:23 |
| sarsaeol_ | pardon: irc.deviantart.com | 18:23 |
| bwat47 | chris: linux mint uses its own software center, different than the ubuntu one | 18:23 |
| delac | sarsaeol_: thanks, going to check | 18:24 |
| chris- | to bed that's suck. I got to mint back 10.4. But before I do I like 4x check , the issue. | 18:25 |
| chris- | bwat47:Thank you for checking on it with me. | 18:25 |
| irv | anyone have an MRTG init script i can have? :D i tried one online but it doesn't seem to actually start the daemon | 18:28 |

| qmr | is unity dodgy as hell placing new windows for anyone else? | 18:29 |
| bwat47 | qmr: yes it does seem a bit weird | 18:30 |
| bwat47 | qmr: it often opens them "unfocused" too | 18:30 |
| qmr | I'm just going to buy a mac, this is freaking stupid. ugh. | 18:31 |
| SkippersBoss | qmr, and unity is the only desktop for ubuntu ?? | 18:31 |
| karthick87 | Please help me with creating a user account with the help of a bash script .. Else I have to do it manually for 200 systems.. | 18:31 |
| qmr | SkippersBoss: no, all of them suck though. | 18:32 |
| MonkeyDust | karthick87 maybe the channel #bash is what you need | 18:32 |
| qmr | I made a new profile for work stuff, so thought I'd give unity a go. kind of liked it at first, mainly for the drag to right / left edge to resize feature | 18:32 |
| karthick87 | MonkeyDust: <greybot> karthick87 ("creating a user account" is a process that differs between operating systems; it isn't common to bash): Not A Bash Question. Ask the channel that supports your software, hardware, or OS. | 18:33 |
| SkippersBoss | qmr, each has his tight to is own opinion. Thats what UBUNTU is about | 18:33 |
| irv | http://pastebin.com/hZ54EVLH is the init script i tried, and running the command: sudo env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg executes it wonderfully | 18:33 |
| qmr | now that doesn't work though, and window placement is really weird. :-S | 18:33 |
| magpie | mounopana | 18:33 |
| SkippersBoss | qmr, i m not a fan of unity either but this is a support channel. So please formulate a question or discuss your grips in ubuntu-offtopic :-) | 18:35 |
| dashavoo | I can't delete print jobs. I can't do it for either of my printers. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about it? | 18:35 |
| qmr | SkippersBoss: what do you use? | 18:36 |
| dashavoo | It is driving me mad, because the print jobs I want to cancel try to start again every time my computer connects to the printer | 18:36 |
| SkippersBoss | XCFE | 18:36 |
| qmr | Kind of want to use Linux for work stuff as I hate being stuck with proprietary stack of things that is non portable, also I hate Apple. but Apple at least works | 18:36 |
| cyborg | hey how to set shortcut for konsole | 18:37 |

| Oli__ | How do I add a monitor to my xorg.conf to use in mirror mode? | 18:39 |
| jeruleus | So, I've been looking around for weeks and can't find a fix for my video output via HDMI with an nvidia 9300m gs. Can someone help? | 18:41 |
| Oli__ | What's your issue? I may have the same problem | 18:42 |
| jeruleus | I connect my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable and the TV just says that there's no signal. | 18:43 |
| iankp_ | I'm installing Solr, but I need it in an older release (1.4) so I'm installing it via tarball and not via apt-get. If I installed it via apt-get it would go somewhere nice off of root, I presume. If I do it via tarball, do I have to drop it somewhere into my home (~) directory? Seems slightly awkward | 18:43 |
| jeruleus | I tested with the livecd first, to see if it'd work, and the video worked, but not the audio. After installing ubuntu, now neither works | 18:43 |
| DaSpawn | Muelli: still around? | 18:44 |
| Oli__ | when i connect my pc to the tv with vga it says there is no signal, when i connect it via dvi it shows up but there is overscan, ie the edges of the screen are off of the tv | 18:44 |
| Oli__ | just checking, you definitely enabling the output in options? like ticking the box for use this display | 18:45 |
| bwat47 | iankp_: generally if you install from source, you extract the tarball, cd to the directory and run ./configure, make, and sudo make install (the last command is what puts the files in the correct places and "installs" it. When you extract the tarball there should be more specific instructions either in the readme or the install file. You may need to install certain dependencies before it will compile and install, sudo apt-get install b | 18:45 |
| mala | someone know a channel for postgreesql? | 18:46 |
| jeruleus | I would, but when I go to system settings > display, it doesn't read the TV as connected. Even after I tell it to detect connected devices | 18:46 |
| iankp_ | bwat47: ahh okay, the make install i wasn't aware of, thanks. I was thinking it would just be a tar of the executables (which it could be, hopefully not) that I have to awkwardly place somewhere as opposed to an install | 18:47 |
| shamt | hi, how to add a mode to emacs? | 18:48 |
| Vilsepi | any idea which packages are needed in 64-bit Ubuntu to play AAC streams in Rhythmbox? gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse 0.10.21-1 didn't help, still getting "Unable to decode stream" | 18:48 |
| bwat47 | iankp_: yeah, sometimes applications do just come in a tar with executables, but generally if you see a download for a linux app in tar.gz format its source | 18:49 |
| iankp_ | sweet | 18:49 |
| iankp_ | thank you | 18:49 |
| shamt | are there any Emacs hacker ? I need to add a mode to my Emacs? Any Idea? | 18:50 |

| _florian_ | can you have a #include section and also have a #upstart-job section in the same file? | 19:03 |
| Oli__ | jeruleus, try doing this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=93249 but make sure you use the right names of the outputs. also replace the dvi-1 in screen with whatever output you are using, worked for me with vga | 19:03 |
| spotter | does anyone know anything in ubuntu's firefox that will copy my entire profile set directory (i.e. .mozilla/firefox) to a backup dir (i.e. .mozilla/.backup) | 19:03 |
| spotter | can't figure out why this happening | 19:03 |
| Jordan_U | andrewh192: It's probably because Chrome tries to lower the priveleges of its processes, but does it through a function which can also be used to increase priveleges and is thus blocked by the locked down guest session. | 19:03 |
| Vilsepi | andrewh192: maybe you installed it only for your main account, did you install it through apt-get/softwarecenter? | 19:03 |

| Moogs | what are desktop environments? | 19:11 |
| saba_ | hii | 19:12 |
| saba_ | to everyone | 19:12 |
| huudis | Moogs, for example your ubuntu uses unity desktop | 19:12 |
| huudis | linux mint uses mate and cinnamon | 19:12 |
| bwat47 | different interfaces to put it extremely simply. To be more technical gnome is the desktop environment, unity is a shell running on top of it. examples of complete de's are gnome, kde, and xfce | 19:13 |
| huudis | xfce is best for netbooks or very old computers | 19:14 |
| saba_ | where i can find a an ebook for | 19:14 |
| huudis | oh and lxde | 19:14 |
| bwat47 | desktop environments also refer to the collection of applications and tools, and not just the interface | 19:14 |
| saba_ | ubuntu 12.04 especially for teaching command | 19:14 |

| chris- | There must be some way to get the popularity app, if Linux mint that is based on ubu10.04 has it then , the original Ubuntu 10.4 after update is not showing me the rating on software based on popularity that users have made. | 19:40 |

| viktor | glitsj16, i'm now installing mediaplayerconnectivity plugin, and i'm istalling mplayer which removes mplayer2 | 19:40 |
| viktor | glitsj16, start an element on the website with terminal? not sure how... | 19:41 |

| ganster | how to share file by using filezilla | 19:43 |
| TorbenBeta | I would like to order the outpout of wc not alphabetically but according to results, so that the file with the biggest count comes first. | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ganster: you can share using sftp and connect to it using filezilla | 19:44 |
| TorbenBeta | Any idas? | 19:44 |
| TorbenBeta | ideas | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ganster: or you can use nautilus and share with samba | 19:44 |
| viktor | glitsj16, not sure if it's falling back on mplayer instead of mplayer2 or the mediaconnectivity plugin, but it works now, strangly enough i do get a error message from gecko mediaplayer plugin now.. | 19:44 |
| chris- | ? | 19:45 |
| ganster | ActionParsnip, I HAVE already open the filezilla application may some configuration to make | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ganster: filezilla is a client, not a server | 19:45 |

| cib0 | I looked for possible causes, and the only thing I could find was that I used the "encrypt home directory" option when setting up ubuntu and mozilla was in my home.

| bobby_ | Since I installed ubuntu 12.04 I've experienced constant graphical glitches where parts of the screen don't always update, it's especially noticable when using the terminal. Has anyone else seen this or can suggest a solution? It's quite irritating. | 21:57 |

| ghanima1 | Hello all | 21:58 |
| dat789 | when you want to disable stuffs from /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop, do you delete, or rename the .desktop files there? Otherwise, the more straight-forward question is how to disable? | 21:58 |
| Descra | first i supose that kde is not good! :) | 21:58 |
| IdleOne | Descra: Try Lubuntu | 21:58 |
| Descra | IdleOne: i will take a look | 21:58 |

| ActionPa1snip | UseRR: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please | 21:59 |
| Dr_willis | dat789, you could just move the files somwehere. | 21:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | bobby_: tried a differnent desktop session, like unity2D? | 22:00 |
| dat789 | Dr.willis: so long as it is not in the autostart folder? | 22:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | Descra: lubuntu or xubuntu are sleek | 22:00 |
| sidux | hi | 22:00 |
| GhostWolf | ActionPa1snip, ok i actually tried and disabled the auto-mute thing in alsamixer. i hear static all the time but when i play a song on rythymbox it plays. do you know how to turn of the static sound? | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | dat789, err.. yes.. that would make sence. ;) | 22:00 |
| bobby_ | ActionPa1snip: no, i'll try that. The multi monitor support doesnt seem as good on unity2d though, but ill use it if it works. | 22:00 |
| dat789 | Dr.willis: thanks! | 22:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | bobby_: worth exploring | 22:01 |
| colorsother | ActionPa1snip, thanks but after putting in that parameter 12.04 will not load.. but not sure if i am putting in correctly. | 22:01 |
| colorsother | HOLD SHIFT at bootup to bring up grub menu | 22:01 |
| colorsother | then press "e" to edit | 22:01 |

| Dr_willis | squarepeg, ive changed mine befor.. havent ttried lately. Ive noticed that often i have to log out/back in for all apps to use the new cursor | 22:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | colorsother: remove the: quiet splash and in it's place add: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 22:04 |
| squarepeg | Dr_willis: the difficulty is that you can't change the size | 22:04 |
| bobby_ | tcstar: very happy for you. | 22:04 |
| squarepeg | I even installed gcursor | 22:04 |

| squarepeg | Dr_willis: it's just one of thse things, which makes you feel helpless like you're in the USSR or something. | 22:04 |
| GhostWolf | ok if anyone else can help me, ActionPa1snip helped me to this point. i am not able to hear any music or sound coming from my speakers. i did run alsamixer and put everything to unmute and to 100 as well. still no sound, but there is something new called auto-mute and thats automatically on enabled. when i switch it to disable i hear static type noise and when i play a song i can hear it. | 22:05 |
| squarepeg | Why can't I have a big honking bourgeosie cursor? | 22:05 |
| Tonisius | squarepeg: nothing is stopping you from that cursor | 22:05 |
| colorsother | thanks ActionPa1snip | 22:05 |
| tcstar | bobby_: you only asked if anyone has had the issue... I answered and said no in essence and you get defensive? Now, it sounds to me like you're computer either has a hardware issue or perhaps a runaway process causing it to eatup all of your CPU.. | 22:05 |

| Schuenemann | hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 to my netbook using a pendrive recorded with unetbootin. But I get that busybox shell and a kernel panic when I exit it. Any help, please? | 22:07 |
| bobby_ | tcstar: I've ssh'd into it and nothing is using much CPU or anything else | 22:07 |
| squarepeg | You set it to 48 pixels in the gconf editor and it doesn't stick, but it doesn't give an error message either. | 22:07 |
| Dr_willis | Schuenemann, tried the usb on other machines? could be it was made wrongly. | 22:07 |
| RamJett | kyle__ : Thanks .. worked | 22:08 |
| tcstar | bobby_: sorry then.. those are the only things I could think that could be causing any issues... hardware or cpu issues... I had a server doing something smilar until I uninstalled some programs that were running away constantly that I didn't really need anyway | 22:08 |
| squarepeg | maybe I'll tackle this deficiency myself | 22:08 |
| squarepeg | This can be my thing. I'll be the cursor choice guy. | 22:08 |
| Schuenemann | Dr_willis, yeah, it didn't work either. First I tested with 64bit version and it worked (but my netbook isn't amd64). Md5 matches with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 22:09 |
| Schuenemann | Dr_willis, I recorded the same way I did with the 64 bit version. Simply started unetbootin, selected the ISO and the device and waited for the files to copy | 22:09 |
| bobby_ | tcstar: I've run the same harddrive on another identically specced laptop (except the monitor) with the same result. | 22:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | Schuenemann: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? | 22:09 |
| Dr_willis | Schuenemann, i tend to use the tools from the pendrive linux site. some of them can auto-verify the iso. Or i just Image the ISO straight to the USb | 22:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | Schuenemann: sorry, misread | 22:10 |
| GhostWolf | well i actually fixed my own problem, it was soemthing to do with the auto-mute in alsamixer that was on default set on enabled. so i disabled that, with the static type noice i muted everything in alsamixer that has to do with mic. result is no static noise and still able to play and listen to music and sound | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | squarepeg: fyi - i bet if you use a non-compiz based windows manager your mouse settings would work... compiz has coused issues with xorg cursor selection for a long long time it seems. good luck. | 22:10 |
| Schuenemann | ActionPa1snip, it's ok | 22:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | GhostWolf: nioe wtg :) | 22:10 |
| tcstar | :bobby_ sounds like a software issue then when it happens try using atop (i like atop more than top) to get a detailed look at what's running and that'll hopefully give you an idea of any cpu whore software | 22:10 |
| kyle__ | RamJett: Awesome. | 22:10 |
| squarepeg | thanks zykotick9 | 22:10 |
| Schuenemann | Dr_willis, how is that "Image the ISO straight to the USb"? | 22:11 |
| Schuenemann | with mount -o? | 22:11 |
| GhostWolf | ActionPa1snip, yea i tried to see if you know anything about the auto-mute thing but you didn't respond lol so i didn't know what to do | 22:11 |
| squarepeg | I just have to drink a lot of coffee every day, or I'll get nothing done. | 22:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | squarepeg: not a good sign | 22:12 |

| squarepeg | yep, it's installed | 22:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | squarepeg: ok | 22:16 |
| Jordan_U | Schuenemann: The problem is most likely with linux kernel drivers, meaning that since any tool to put Ubuntu on a USB drive will still use the same kernel + initrd, any tool will have the same problem. | 22:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | squarepeg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxfa2fXJ1Wc tried those commands in the top right | 22:17 |
| Schuenemann | Jordan_U, don't understand. Drivers from the box I'm using? | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | Schuenemann: If the problem is with linux drivers not being able to access your USB drive, you could work around the problem by using the netboot installer, which doesn't need to access anything from the USB drive after control has been passed to linux. | 22:18 |
| squarepeg | ActionPa1snip: I'll try it out | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | Schuenemann: Drivers in the linux kernel which support (or in this case *don't* properly support) your computers USB controller. | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis | Schuenemann, I use 'dd' or 'cat' or on windows 'winimage' (i think) to put the image straight to iso. it then thinks the usb is a cd. :) | 22:19 |
| zykotick9 | Schuenemann: if you are on a unix box, then you can cat the iso to the sdX directly with the default 12.04 ISO which is a hybrid iso/usb image. | 22:19 |
| Schuenemann | Jordan_U, but I have installed ubuntu there before. I actually have it right now | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis | Schuenemann, or use any of tghe dozen tools listed at the Pendrivelinux web site | 22:19 |
| ActionPa1snip | squarepeg: seems ok, that guy makes great Ubuntu (and Linux in general) vids | 22:19 |

| ActionPa1snip | species: i'd say most ni here as it isthe default DE in Ubuntu... | 22:27 |
| species | im not trolling, this is a serious question | 22:27 |
| rhizmoe | i bought a new video card for it, does that count? | 22:27 |
| species | ActionPa1snip: in the same way as windows is the default OS on pc's? | 22:27 |

| squarepeg | Still the big cursor works only in special circumstances. | 22:28 |
| squarepeg | When I resize my window, it's big. | 22:29 |

| ActionPa1snip | Casey: check in /var/log | 22:31 |
| squarepeg | Anyway, I'm not sure what is the limitation for the regular desktop cursor | 22:31 |
| rhizmoe | ActionPa1snip: that's funny, because i mostly bump up against this in terminal windows. | 22:31 |
| squarepeg | There are two cursor modes | 22:31 |
| squarepeg | one remains unchanged. | 22:31 |
| rhizmoe | maybe you don't use scroll buffers | 22:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | rhizmoe: guake is extended horizontally and has enogh vertical space :) | 22:31 |
| squarepeg | So i guess I want to figure out how to change the primary cursor mode. Gnome did something to hard-code this. | 22:32 |
| ActionPa1snip | squarepeg: could ask in #gnome | 22:32 |
| rhizmoe | "i never resize windows...i'd better answer someone's question about it!" | 22:32 |
| lifestream | In case anyone was wondering what program can Press and Hold a Key for me, it was called xsendkeycode. See you later! | 22:33 |
| ActionPa1snip | rhizmoe: all I said is that you don't have to use gnome.. | 22:33 |
| ActionPa1snip | rhizmoe: don't put words in my mouth | 22:33 |

| myhero | ActionPa1snip: and whether my system is update or not but why is it not being showed in software center | 22:44 |

| myhero | ActionParsnip: and whether my system is updated or not but why is it not being showed in software center | 22:45 |
| danub | something might be wrong with the drive, but you can try to mount it manually. you just have to find the location and the format type. in the old gnome menu you could use the computer janitor to tell you about the drive, but i dont know where to look in unity for that info | 22:45 |
| Wug | I bought a 7970 and replaced my old 9800 with it | 22:45 |
| Wug | 7970 is an amd graphics card for those who may be unaware | 22:46 |
| Schuenemann | danub, it was working ok until I did "cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sdb | 22:46 |
| Wug | trying to update the drivers fails, and refers me to a nonexistent log file | 22:46 |

| cascadia | I've got a question for people more skilled with Ubuntu than me: The hard drive on which my /home partition resided has failed. It no longer works. Consequently, I can't login to my system anymore because the home folder is gone. There was no important data in that home folder, so I am not worried about it being gone, but I'd like to be able to get back in to my system without reinstalling Ubuntu. What do I need to do to fix the login issue? | 22:47 |

| fliesentisch | Hi everyone, how can I mount my canon eos 600d as a normal drive? | 22:49 |
| Wug | I believe you do that by adding "-1" to the end of the boot arguments, which you can do from grub I think by pressing e | 22:49 |
| Wug | its either that or "-single" | 22:49 |
| Wug | tell me if you get that far | 22:49 |

| danub | Schuenemann: actually, ignore me. that seems to be the directions for making a USB an iso bootable drive. my guess is that now that you have it as a bootable drive, ubuntu doesn't want to mount it | 22:52 |

| AlphaOmega | hello. I just had 4 ubuntu servers reboot "mysteriously" and each one came back up within 20 second of each other. Is this an ubuntu thing? could ubuntu 10.04 server reboot itself from a security update or something? | 23:00 |
| HDScorpio | ActionParsnip, Ah, the flash I have appears to be for mozilla when I'm running chrome, maybe thats the error? | 23:00 |
| cascadia | Wug: I've tried both Shift and Esc keys, | 23:00 |
| sudo-apt-get | how can i put webgl in graphics card. | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | HDScorpio: the plaugin will work in both | 23:00 |
| danub | sudo-apt-get: so double check that your graphics card drivers are installed correctly. if yes, then your card is too old | 23:00 |
| danub | sudo-apt-get: a graphics card is either WebGL compatible or its not. | 23:01 |
| Schuenemann | dammit my wifi driver is proprietary | 23:01 |
| sudo-apt-get | danub, My hard drive crashed somedays ago. How to put drivers in it? | 23:01 |
| === lloir is now known as Lloir|ZzZz | ||
| sudo-apt-get | Webgl worked before. | 23:01 |
| Schuenemann | how necessary is it to be connected to the internet while installing ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| danub | then its probably just bad/incorrect drivers | 23:02 |
| danub | figure out what card you have and then google 'ubuntu install {graphics card} driver' where {graphics card} = whatever your graphics card is | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | Schuenemann: Not at all, unless you're using the netinstall image of course. | 23:03 |
| Wug | cascadia: pound every key | 23:03 |
| danub | Schuenemann: depends on the install media your using | 23:03 |
| Wug | use a binary search lol | 23:03 |
| Schuenemann | Jordan_U, ok, I'll install this driver later then | 23:03 |
| Wug | anyway no solution so I'll ask again | 23:03 |
| cascadia | Wug: Been doing that | 23:04 |
| danub | what are you trying to do cascadia ? | 23:04 |
| Wug | danub: get into grub | 23:04 |
| danub | for what? to just modify the grub list or what? | 23:04 |
| cascadia | danub: I think the idea is to boot into singleuser mode | 23:05 |
| Wug | danub: boot into single user mode because the drive /home was on died | 23:05 |
| Casey | who uses ssmtp? | 23:05 |
| Wug | so fstab needs to be enfiddled | 23:05 |
| Wug | I bought a new graphics card (radeon 7970) to replace old one (nvidia 9800gtx+), trying to activate the proprietary drivers, but the installation is failing and referring me to a logfile (/var/log/jockey.log) which just happens to not exist | 23:06 |
| danub | to get into single usermode you should just be able to 'init 1' and get into it. but i have never went into single usermode so i dont know how much that will help you | 23:07 |
| Wug | danub: he cant boot normally | 23:07 |
| Wug | anyway, I've checked all of the retard stuff like file permissions and disk space | 23:07 |
| Wug | I've concluded that it's not me being retarded | 23:08 |
| HDScorpio | ActionParsnip, The reinstall didn't work | 23:08 |
| cascadia | Wug: I haven't been able to get into grub, but... I have successfully logged in to a textonly console (tty) | 23:09 |
| danub | Wug: try 'sudo updatedb;locate jockey' | 23:09 |
| Wug | cascadia: oh, herp | 23:09 |
| Wug | here I am going through all these extra hoops | 23:09 |
| Wug | boot and login to a tty | 23:09 |

| amliby | Where is the appropriate place to save log files? | 23:11 |
| Wug | danub: yeah.... into an ssh session on some remote computer. no wonder I wasnt getting anywhere | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | Wug: People here are trying to be helpful. If they know how to fix the problem you're having they will probably reply to your question. Being inpolite / trolling will just convince people who might otherwise help you to instead ignore you | 23:12 |
| Wug | should I append "| grep \.log" ? | 23:12 |
| danub | cascadia: in the command window, you can try 'update-grub'. or you can play with the /etc/grub.d/ files | 23:12 |
| Wug | Jordan_U: its a joke | 23:13 |
| danub | Wug: i cant image there are that many files named 'jockey', but you can if you want lol | 23:13 |
| Wug | danub: theres quite a list actually | 23:13 |
| danub | then by all means, grep for log | 23:13 |
| danub | lol | 23:13 |
| Wug | there are no .log files | 23:14 |
| Wug | how uninformative | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | cascadia: Did you actually hold shift during boot? | 23:14 |

| Phoenixz | I just disabled swap, and now it runs acceptably... | 23:44 |

| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 23:57 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, yes, it matched | 23:57 |
| glitsj16 | PlayingNaked: if you enabled bleachbit's item to overwrite free disk space (system stanza) it could take very long indeed .. better verify that you have that disabled before killing bleacbit | 23:57 |
| PlayingNaked | yeah, thats what it was | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: do you get web access in the liveCD desktop? | 23:57 |

| Ziber | Nobody knows about ubuntu+flash problems? | 23:57 |
| PlayingNaked | and i didnt launch it with sudo | 23:57 |
| PlayingNaked | thanks glitsj16 | 23:57 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, no, the wifi driver is proprietary | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: in what way? | 23:58 |
| glitsj16 | PlayingNaked: you're welcome | 23:58 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, Test WP failed, assume write enabled | 23:58 |
| PlayingNaked | With ubuntu-tweak, i cannot seem to get it to "clean" is that because i didnt launch it as root? | 23:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: if you make the USB device with some persistance then use another system that gets you web access, you may be able to upgrade the ubiquity app | 23:58 |
| glitsj16 | PlayingNaked: yes, it needs enhanced privileges to do anything under / | 23:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Ziber: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 23:59 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, sorry, can you explain? Not clear for me | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: if you use persistence, you can make changes to the install USB and they will stick, including updates. So if you upgrade the installer application you may find it helps | 23:59 |
