[00:17] <cogtest> #cogita-10142
[00:17] <|Long|> ActionParsnip, thanks i give that a try
[00:19] <oli_> how do i uninstall firefox fullly
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> oli_: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*
[00:22] <oli_> the package list could not be parsed or opened
[00:23] <antukin> oli sudo apt-get purge firefox
[00:24] <Dr_willis> that will NOT remove yoru users firefox settings...
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <[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
[00:27] <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?
[00:28] <[1]ichi> oh, and if i press ctrl-F1 and i type "sudo startx" it works..
[00:29] <[1]ichi> that's the strange thing
[00:29] <Dr_willis> [1]ichi,  why are you using 'sudo startx' and not 'startx'
[00:30] <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 :)
[00:31] <[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 ;)
[00:32] <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] <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 :)
[00:33] <[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
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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. :)
[00:36] <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 :)
[00:37] <jen> brb
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | SecretFire
[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
[00:38] <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
[00:39] <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?
[00:40] <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] <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
[00:41] <Dr_willis> designbybeck_,  and where are you getting  the sda6 space  from
[00:41] <Dr_willis> jen,  http://the.ip.of.yoyur.router
[00:42] <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
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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 -.-
[00:46]  * 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...
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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.
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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
[00:55] <FreezingCold> jen: did not follow
[00:57] <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?
[01:01] <escott> naryfa, no updatedb is not an online file database
[01:01] <naryfa> escott: is there an alternative I could use?
[01:02] <naryfa> escott: if you happen to know, of course
[01:05] <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?
[01:06] <escott> naryfa, http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/
[01:06] <naryfa> escott: much appreciated, thanks
[01:07] <escott> naryfa, project seems pretty dead though
[01:08] <naryfa> escott: yes, I'm seeing it now, and it only mentions Kernel 2.6
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> hats: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/use-wget-to-download-multiple-files-with-wildcards-603486/    may help
[01:10] <m_> Anyone what to chat
[01:18] <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*
[01:19] <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
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <mophead> ActionParsnip : Yo! I just did fsck and it didn't say anything...
[01:25] <Colonel187> hello there
[01:25] <Colonel187> Is anybody available to help a super noob?
[01:25] <naryfa> escott: Thanks for your help
[01:27] <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!
[01:28] <Colonel187> anybody?
[01:28] <mophead> Colonel187: tell them which errors you're getting
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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!
[01:34] <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?
[01:35] <escott> naryfa, ~/.bashrc
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <Colonel187> anybody have any suggestions?
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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 ?
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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?
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <A_J> ActionParsnip and Fyodorovna i'll bbl. Thanks
[01:47] <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

[01:48] <Colonel187> Hello. firefox crashed. who was helping me?
[01:49] <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?
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <Colonel187> ok I get 0 upgraded ubiquity is already the newest version
[01:52] <Colonel187> want me to run the installer and paste the log?
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <eddyman> dubleeh: have you ever tried running "sudo shutdown now"
[01:55] <dwakar> dubleeh yeah run frm the terminal
[01:57] <eddyman> dubleeh: sudo shutdown -H now"
[01:57] <Starn> i'm in need of help with my ubuntu install.
[01:57] <eddyman> -H means to request the system to hault, -P requests system to power off
[01:58] <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.
[01:59] <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.
[02:00] <dwakar> Colonel187: if you're trying to copy from terminal use mouse
[02:00] <eddyman> Colonel187: when copy/paste in terminal i right click
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <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)
[02:04] <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] <dwakar> Colonel187: good for you
[02:05] <Colonel187> thanks :)
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <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] <ActionParsnip> Starn: urban terror and penumbra run awesome
[02:06] <Starn> Colonel187: if they do that'll be amazing but i've been hearing this since before they released the mac client.
[02:07] <Starn> ActionParsnip: yeah i have them :) also heard oil rush is good.
[02:08] <Colonel187> ok I got an error at the end of upgrade. I pasted the text in that website link you shared with me. How do I let you see it
[02:10] <rgates414> Beating head against wall trying to find windows drivers for ndiswrapper...
[02:10] <dwakar> Colonel187: copy the url and paste it here
[02:10] <eddyman> Starn: maybe its a memory issue. you can use "top" in terminal to see which programs are eating up cpu usage and ram
[02:11] <eddyman> in "top" press K to kill a process
[02:11] <Colonel187> http://pastebin.com/cqiiHZYm
[02:11] <Starn> eddyman: memory isn't an issue.. unless it's failing.
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Colonel187
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: may help
[02:12] <Colonel187> i ran apt-get install ubiquity again and got this http://pastebin.com/6Zxj5QU2
[02:13] <rgates414> What driver files exactly do you need load to ndiswrapper to get the driver to install properly?  anybody?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: do you have software centre open?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: .inf and .sys
[02:13] <Colonel187> no, but the installer is still frozen I can't get it to force close. or rather don't know how
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <eddyman> Colonel187: you can use "top" or "kill" or "pkill" to stop any programs
[02:15] <Colonel187> how would I use that
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: are you sure there is no native driver for your wifi chip?
[02:19] <Medjai> Can someone tell me why when i set a keyboard shortcut via: System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Window ... It is cleared after reboot?
[02:19] <eddyman> Linux users tend to Ext3 or 4
[02:19] <eddyman> use*
[02:19] <Medjai> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 btw
[02:19] <rgates414> When I try to install the native driver, which is says is compatible with my pci, it still doesn;t work
[02:20] <rgates414> BCM 4322
[02:20] <eddyman> Medjai: sometimes Ubuntu does not save gconf related settings. it's a pain in the butt, i know. but i found that logging off and back in forces a save..sometimes
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | rgates414
[02:21] <Medjai> eddyman, is there a command I can issue?
[02:21] <rgates414> lol, ty.
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: there is a native driver, those broadcom things arte the easiest ones to install
[02:21] <rgates414> So I'm noticing.. ;)
[02:21] <eddyman> Medjai: "man gsettings"
[02:22] <eddyman> Medjai: could also install gconf-editor for a gui
[02:25] <volan> I am trying to fix/setup a dsl connection remotely. 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)
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> volan: can you connect with windows?
[02:27] <volan> no more windows
[02:27] <volan> only ubuntu
[02:27] <volan> i took his xp box -
[02:28] <volan> He is too far away for me to just pop over so we have been working over the phone. We went through the suggestions here:
[02:28] <volan> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1471587.html  about ten times. I have had him very carefully check the MAC address, etc.
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> volan: I'd check settings in the router, you could also try rebooting the router itself
[02:28] <volan> there is no router - just the modem
[02:28] <volan> pppoeconf goes through some scanning and comes back with:
[02:28] <volan> Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access  Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem.
[02:32] <Medjai> eddyman, doesn't look like the logout did anything
[02:33] <Medjai> it's a bit annoying i'm trying to tie window minimize to (ctrl + alt + 8) and window toggle maximize to (ctrl + alt + 9 )
[02:34] <Medjai> doing it through system settings works only for the session
[02:34] <KingKatari> yes i need some help with IPtables
[02:34] <Medjai> i tried then going to ccsm and going to general options > key bindings
[02:35] <KingKatari> i need to know how to allow any and all traffic from a certain port
[02:35] <Medjai> when i set them as soon as i get out it resets them back to whatever the default was... is this a bug that it cant set those two to any other binding?
[02:35] <blubee> hello guys, i have ubuntu 12.04 i downloaded adobe acrobat with sudo apt-get acroread and i am trying to enable adobe pdf in google chrome, but it doesn't seem to be working. I dont even see the option to enable adobe reader in chrome. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> blubee: its default enabled, you don't need to install acroread for it to work
[02:40] <blubee> ActionParsnip when i go online to my bank website i am unable to view the pdf
[02:40] <KingKatari> yes i need some help with IPtables
[02:40] <KingKatari> i need to know how to allow any and all traffic from a certain port
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | KingKatari
[02:41] <blubee> ActionParnip its embedded in the webpage and it just shows a blank screen, when I used windows for a while i had to go into adobe and enable internet viewing pdf then go into chrome disable the default pdf viewer and enable adobe reader, on ubuntu there is no option to enable adobe reader but the disable chrome pdf viewer is there
[02:42] <b2coutts_> Hey, when I execute a program (i.e. firefox) from the terminal, that terminal is forced to remain open while the program is open. Is there a way to execute a program from the terminal, without locking the terminal to the program?
[02:43] <JoseeAntonioR> b2coutts_: Alt+F2 and then execute the command from there
[02:44] <dwakar> b2coutts_: try firefox &
[02:45] <b2coutts_> dwakar: thanks
[02:54] <johndeere> morning all
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> b2coutts_: use nohup and it should be ok
[02:56] <johndeere> I am having some issues and was hoping someone could point me in any direction
[02:56] <johndeere> I have an Adata S599 55GB SSD
[02:56] <johndeere> when I install Ubuntu on it
[02:56] <johndeere> 11.10 will not boot at all
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: ease up on the enter key
[02:56] <johndeere> 12.04 is ridiculously slow
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: what video chip do you use?
[02:57] <johndeere> radeon
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: did you enable the proprietary driver?
[02:58] <johndeere> It failed to enable on 12.04 and as I say, cannot get to it in 11.10
[02:59] <johndeere> would that be the major cause? because this is where it gets really funny. If I stick the disk in a usb casing, it boots into 11.10, but not on SATA, I have tried multiple cables on multiple ports
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: if you use Unity2D session it should be faster
[03:00] <johndeere> ActionParsnip: when I say slow, I am talking like 15 minutes to boot on an SSD....
[03:02] <johndeere> ActionParsnip: I'll try the video driver now and let you guys know
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: oh the boot is slow... I thought you meant in the OS itself
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> johntash: you can run:  dmesg | less    and look for large gaps in the time on the left to see why its taking so long
[03:07] <garbagepailkid> Torvalds probably uses the Mate desktop
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> garbagepailkid: probably kde
[03:12] <MagiC3PO> If I boot to an Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD, can I upgrade 11.10 that way?
[03:12] <MagiC3PO> Or at least FINISH a partially completed upgrade?
[03:13] <JoseeAntonioR> MagiC3PO: No, you would need an 11.10 CD.
[03:13] <MagiC3PO> I mean upgrade 11.10 to 12.04
[03:14] <zorg24> yes MagiC3PO that should work, I've never tried it, but doubt it wouldn't work
[03:15] <zorg24> although why not just use the upgrade functionality in the update manager MagiC3PO
[03:15] <MagiC3PO> Well, my laptop decided to crash during the update via that.
[03:15] <chillpill_> very brave
[03:15] <Renski> trying to install an older version of mysql with "sudo apt-get install mysql-server=5.1.58-1ubuntu1" but complains that that it depends on mysql-server-5.1
[03:15] <Renski> bit confused
[03:16] <RaverX3X> humm question
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> Anyways, my 12.04 CD (Actually, it's a DVD) just finished burning
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> Time to give that a shot.
[03:16] <RaverX3X> just installed linux to my desktop but it wont boot without a flash drive that i used to install it inserted
[03:16] <Renski> How would I go about installing 5.1.58?
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> RaverX3X, are you sure you Installed rather than did the Try from CD option?
[03:17] <RaverX3X> no it installed
[03:17] <MagiC3PO> How odd.
[03:17] <RaverX3X> cause once booted its reading from the hdd i can remove the usb stick
[03:17] <RaverX3X> and it still runs
[03:17] <MagiC3PO> Anyways, time to boot to the CD
[03:17] <RaverX3X> i even tried sudo update-grub
[03:17] <RaverX3X> but without the usb stick in i just get the  _
[03:17] <RaverX3X> like it doesnt realize theres a boot loader
[03:18] <MagiC3PO> DARN YOU PHONE
[03:19] <RaverX3X> now i cant even get it to re install from usb because the option isnt there it just boots to ubuntu installed on the hdd
[03:21] <zorg24> RaverX3X, is their important data on your hard drive
[03:21] <RaverX3X> conidering i just installed linux no lol
[03:21] <RaverX3X> what about sudo fdisk -l
[03:21] <RaverX3X> sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:22] <zorg24> RaverX3X, well it could have been on a seperate partition or something
[03:22] <RaverX3X> theres nothing important on my pc atm
[03:22] <RaverX3X> the only issue is now
[03:22] <zorg24> point in case I'd reformat the drive and install again
[03:22] <RaverX3X> if i stick the usb stick in and try to boot to that
[03:22] <zorg24> also RaverX3X what did you use to make the usb stick?
[03:23] <RaverX3X> pendrive + ubunto 12.04 lts iso
[03:23] <RaverX3X> from the ubuntu homepage
[03:23] <zorg24> If you didn't use the tool on the ubuntu download just to be safe make it again with that
[03:23] <zorg24> oh ok nvr mind
[03:24] <RaverX3X> its the same pen drive that i used to install it to my laptop
[03:24] <zorg24> I thought maybe you made a persistant bootable ubuntu usb drive by accident
[03:24] <RaverX3X> which is fine by the way been fine on that for months lol
[03:24] <RaverX3X> i just got tired of windows on my pc
[03:24] <zorg24> you said it was like their was no bootloader right?
[03:25] <Colonel187> hello. I'm back, had to make dinner. I'm still not able to complete the install of ubuntu
[03:26] <zorg24> oh wait are you turning it on w/ the flash drive in RaverX3X?
[03:26] <zorg24> your bios may be booting off the flash drive instead of the hard drive
[03:26] <RaverX3X> i installed ubuntu then after it installed it said i had to reboot at that point i removed the usb stick
[03:26] <RaverX3X> then rebooted once it rebooted it just sits at the _ flashing
[03:27] <Colonel187> I ran apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, then apt-get install ubiquity. the installer still freezes on time zone
[03:27] <zorg24> jeez its been so long since I did an install I can't recall if at that point you have to leave the install media in
[03:27] <RaverX3X> well it said to remove it lol
[03:27] <RaverX3X> so i did
[03:27] <zorg24> oh
[03:27] <RaverX3X> never had a issue with grub not being detected a t boot time
[03:28] <RaverX3X> tell now
[03:28] <yannick> hello world
[03:28] <Colonel187> anybody have any other suggestions
[03:28] <dwakar> Colonel187: are you installing it in vbox or something
[03:28] <yannick> grub-install ?
[03:28] <zorg24> I'm thinking something weird happened and grub didn't install correctly
[03:28] <Colonel187> no i'm installing it on a hard drive from the usb stick
[03:28] <yannick> ok
[03:29] <yannick> sorry
[03:29] <zorg24> RaverX3X, one sec there's a tool to fix grub automagically I forgot what its called though
[03:29] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, have you tried the usb and seen if it boots regular, could grub of been put on it?
[03:29] <dwakar> ok
[03:29] <RaverX3X> ya it will boot to my os if i stick the usb stick in and hit f8 pick the flash drive
[03:29] <dwakar> which ubuntu are you installing colonel187
[03:29] <Fyodorovna> !bootrepair
[03:29] <RaverX3X> it wont give me the linux installer but it boots to ubuntu 12.04
[03:29] <Colonel187> ubuntu 12.04
[03:30] <Colonel187> ok here is the low down
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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?
[03:36] <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] <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
[03:37] <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?
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <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] <yannick> 2
[03:39] <zorg24> ya basically
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <yannick> no need for me
[03:43] <zorg24> ok good luck Colonel187
[03:43] <yannick> ok
[03:43] <Colonel187> thanks
[03:43] <yannick> mtfbwy

[03:43] <RaverX3X> fyodorovna www.pastebin.com/q1VCdaz9
[03:44] <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.
[03:46] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, sorry sudo update-grub  hehe you probably know that already.
[03:46] <Jordan_U> RaverX3X: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
[03:47] <Fyodorovna> +1
[03:47] <Chamunks> any way to completely remove Oracle java 7 from ubuntu if its not been installed via apt.
[03:48] <enteL> Chamunks: checkinstall next time
[03:48] <RaverX3X> ya  i still get those errors fyodorovna
[03:48] <Chamunks> enteL, im sorry?
[03:49] <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/
[03:50] <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
[03:52] <yannick> ok
[03:53] <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...
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <yannick> but pointless in this chan ...
[03:55] <databack> like how
[03:55] <yannick> do not know
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <databack> red, thanks
[03:57] <yannick> sorry for that
[03:57] <dwakar> RedSocrates: wait you have to compile all the packages?
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <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] <yannick> nice job
[04:01] <Chamunks> Can I Checkinstall my java.bin file?
[04:01] <dwakar> RedSocrates: install takes more time
[04:01] <RedSocrates> dwakar, yes, much more time
[04:02] <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?
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <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 ...
[04:05] <RedSocrates> dwakar, no, you don't. Both Ubuntu and Gentoo have LiveCDs.
[04:05] <dwakar> ok RedSocrates thanks
[04:05] <yannick> perfect
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <Magiobiwan> I just did a clean install, so I'm installing Updates now.
[04:08] <yannick> ok
[04:08] <bkerensa> !justask Magiobiwan
[04:08] <bkerensa> !justask |  Magiobiwan
[04:08] <yannick> !patience
[04:08] <malkauns> in 12.04 how do change the background color of just the panel?
[04:08] <Magiobiwan> I didn't go, "Can I ask you guys a question?"
[04:09] <yannick> yep
[04:09] <rgates414> yawn
[04:09] <yannick> !patience
[04:09] <Magiobiwan> But, Ubuntu 12.04 DOES have drivers for the Intel 945GM Chipset, right?
[04:10] <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
[04:11] <yannick> yep
[04:11] <Chamunks> glitsj16, and let you know what the errors are if need be
[04:11] <enteL> error messages are key
[04:11] <yannick> Could you be love?
[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
[04:12] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  fair
[04:12] <glitsj16> Chamunks: and it is easily removed via apt, software center or synaptic (whatever you use) so it shouldn't be a pain
[04:13] <bkerensa> Magiobiwan: Yes it should.
[04:13] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  yeh thats cool i just remember doing this once before was just like beating my head against a wall.
[04:13] <yannick> ok
[04:13] <bkerensa> Magiobiwan: Can you explain why you believe it is lacking drivers?
[04:13] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  but im allways interested in trying to make this work :)
[04:13] <Magiobiwan> It says Graphics: Unknown
[04:14] <glitsj16> Chamunks: that's the spirit ;)
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> Driver: Unknown
[04:14] <rgates414> asfdadfl;j
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> And Experience: Standard
[04:14] <enteL> bad driver
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> I didn't specify one or anything.
[04:15] <yannick> ok
[04:15] <Magiobiwan> But, its installing Updates right now.
[04:15] <Chamunks> glitsj16, waiting on the apt to grab the files
[04:16] <Magiobiwan> I suppose while I wait for it to do that, I'll go play Zelda OoT
[04:16] <antiall80> ciao
[04:16] <yannick> !patience
[04:17] <glitsj16> Chamunks: the PPA downloads stuff behind the scenes (to avoid legalistics) so it can take a few minutes, make sure to let it finish
[04:17] <Chamunks> glitsj16, yeh i can see the slow progress bar creep.
[04:19] <yannick> entel more help !
[04:19] <yannick> ?
[04:19] <subb1> Hi all. Good day
[04:19] <Chamunks> glitsj16, im curious as to why this method you linked me isn't on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[04:19] <yannick> so as you ;)
[04:19] <Chamunks> it seems to be much less broken.
[04:19] <glitsj16> Chamunks: btw, the link mentions doing a java version check after install, it should be at version 1.7.0_05 by now
[04:20] <Chamunks> right on :)
[04:20] <enteL> yannick: help with?
[04:20] <Chamunks> glitsj16, build 1.7.0_05-b05
[04:20] <Chamunks> im gonna try and run mc from java -jar minecraft.jar now
[04:20] <yannick> Rastaman live up?
[04:20] <glitsj16> Chamunks: it is actually .. oracle java 7 .. command-line methods
[04:21] <Moogs> hi i'm new to ubuntu.. i just installed it and was wondering if there was anything special i should be doing to keep my comoputer secure
[04:21] <subb1> I would like to issue a  tar (compress) , scp the tarred file over to a server, then extract that file on that server in a single command. I guess its done using piping? Please help.... thanks.
[04:21] <enteL> yannick: broadcom?
[04:21] <glitsj16> Chamunks: so at least you can try minecraft with a nicely installed java, hope this is worth your time :)
[04:22] <Chamunks> glitsj16, this is the paste of the stuff returned from the java -version http://paste.thezomg.com/3784/13424123/
[04:22] <Moogs> or is there anything that i should do to optimize ubuntus performance?
[04:22] <enteL> subb1: yes a pipe
[04:22] <Magiobiwan> Updates have installed. Rebooting now.
[04:22] <glitsj16> Chamunks: all good
[04:22] <enteL> subb1: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-tar-command-through-network-over-ssh-session/
[04:23] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  i get to the log in screen
[04:23] <Chamunks> than shortly afterwards i hit log in and get a black screen which is commonly mentioned as an error in mc.
[04:23] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  this is the error http://paste.thezomg.com/3785/41246013/
[04:24] <Magiobiwan> Okay. It still says Graphics: Unknown
[04:24] <glitsj16> Chamunks: ok i'll take a look
[04:24] <Magiobiwan> Any ideas?
[04:26] <glitsj16> Chamunks: your paste mentions on line 6 something about 'wrong ELF class' .. that refers to 32bit vs 64bit .. what system are you using ?
[04:26] <BUSTACAP> Is there a terminal command to view available video memory?
[04:26] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  fully 64bit
[04:26] <RedSocrates> BUSTACAP, free
[04:27] <RedSocrates> Oh, video memory
[04:27] <RedSocrates> sorry
[04:27] <Chamunks> glitsj16, 64bit precise and amd 6core 1055t
[04:27] <subb1> enteL, thanks , exactly what I needed !
[04:27] <BUSTACAP> Yeah o.O
[04:27] <glitsj16> Chamunks: ok, and minecraft is also 64bit version?
[04:27] <enteL> subb1: np! friend
[04:27] <Chamunks> they ship mc as a single .jar
[04:27] <enteL> sweet trick.
[04:27] <Magiobiwan> glitsj16: MC switches depending upon the detected Java Version
[04:28] <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.
[04:31] <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] <andrew_> hello
[04:31] <andrew_> does anyone know the name of the linux gaming app ,its a bit like steam ?
[04:32] <Magiobiwan> Chamunks: No problem.
[04:33] <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] <Chamunks> glitsj16, no worries the gf passed out a half hour ago on the couch behind me.
[04:34] <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?
[04:36] <hask> #ubuntu-ni
[04:38] <RaverX3X> reinstalling now
[04:39] <RaverX3X> oh last question cause i didnt have to do this on my laptop because it has built in intel drivers
[04:39] <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> Okay. I installed the Mesa-tools and it recognizes my IGL
[04:39] <Magiobiwan> IGP*
[04:39] <Chamunks> glitsj16, let me re download mc real quick
[04:40] <Magiobiwan> Now, will it let me select my external monitor's native resolution...
[04:40] <Chamunks> glitsj16, ok nvm made zero difference.
[04:41] <Magiobiwan> Is there a way I can tell Ubuntu to send a 1280x1024 signal to my external monitor?
[04:42] <Magiobiwan> It currently shows as Unknown, with 1024x768 and 800x600 as my only options.
[04:43] <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
[04:50] <Chamunks> any ideas how i go about updating Update LWJGL

[05:24] <MagiC3PO> I only have available for it 1024x768 and 800x600
[05:24] <mah454> MagiC3PO, Use xrandr command

[05:31] <MagiC3PO> yannick, are you a Bot or something?
[05:31] <yannick> nope
[05:31] <yannick> just Yannick
[05:31] <MagiC3PO> Just curious

[05:38] <MagiC3PO> I'm assuming you meant ME there?
[05:39] <MagiC3PO> Uh, anyways, is there a way to shrink the Ubuntu partition using gparted while booted into Ubunto, thus having the device mounted?
[05:42] <aeon-ltd> MagiC3PO: not if it's the same ubuntu you are booted into
[05:42] <MetaCosm> UEFI makes me angry... ugh, what a PITA
[05:46] <MagiC3PO> EASUS's Partition Manager for Windows has the option to do a pending option thing where it makes changes to locked volumes upon a reboot, where it boots into what is likely a form of Linux to make the changes
[05:54] <dwakar> I installed Penumbra - overture with .sh installer, it installed fine, it ran, showed the intro movie then when the real game is about to load it freezes
[06:00] <fidel> ahoi
[06:01] <iharp> how can I run an x-executable from terminal if it's in a random folder that I placed in "home"?
[06:01] <iharp> so if I'm in terminal and I want to type "adb" and want to have it start
[06:02] <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] <iharp> yeah
[06:02] <aoo> yap
[06:02] <aoo> or just use ./
[06:03] <iharp> ActionParsnip: It's part of Android_SDK. Wouldn't it have to stay in the oringinal folder?
[06:03] <aoo> ./adb shell blablabla
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> iharp: you can add the path to the binary to the end of your PATH if you want. Probably better
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> iharp: or use what aoo said :)
[06:04] <iharp> Is that the "PATH=$PATH"  that you are refferencing to?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> iharp: export PATH=$PATH:/new/folder/to/add
[06:06] <iharp> And that will allow everything executable in that folder to be run from the terminal?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> iharp: without using the full path, yes
[06:07] <iharp> ok. thanks
[06:07] <RaverX3X> anyone know how to resize the ubuntu log in screen as its cut off

[06:36] <histo> fishbait: what are you trying to do?
[06:37] <fishbait> when i pulled up displays my primary monitor was labeled laptop and if it label laptop it might be operating at 16:9 causing fullscreen flash to try and spread the video wide between my monitors
[06:38] <fishbait> this isn't a laptop nor is it a 16:9 monitor
[06:38] <histo> fishbait: well is it operating at 16:9 or not?
[06:38] <histo> fishbait: xrandr
[06:39] <fishbait> not that i can see
[06:39] <evictimizor> is there checksum validation for ubuntu iso
[06:40] <fishbait> the idea is to get fullscreen flash to see only 1 monitor
[06:40] <histo> !md5 | evictimizor
[06:40] <histo> fishbait: so now when you full screen flash it spans monitors?
[06:41] <fishbait> no the controls stay on the primary monitor but the video adjusts for 2
[06:42] <fishbait> monitors that is

[07:03] <hansz> I cannot kill a process. I am using htop, trying both sigterm and sigkill, but the process remains. It is a simple python script I was running via www-data user.
[07:04] <blubee> does anyone have any experience with chrome, adobe reader and embedded pdfs. If I go most websites with .pdf files google chrome automatically opens them for me to look at, but if i go to citibank.com to see my online statement, it tells me i do not have adobe reader installed, which is nuts! Also under my about:plugins, i do NOT have the option to enable acrobat reader as my pdf viewer of choice. This is on ubuntu 12.04, I have installed 
[07:04] <hansz> hanning: oh, I guess I did not have the proper permissions...
[07:06] <iharp> ActionParsnip: i read it wrong. it was the device that i was having an issue with. I figured it out
[07:06] <RpqDcpuwA> is there a channel for ubuntu server help?
[07:06] <DJones> RpqDcpuwA: #ubuntu-server
[07:07] <RpqDcpuwA> thnx
[07:07] <DJones> RpqDcpuwA: Or you can ask here as well, although -server may have more specialised help
[07:07] <enteL> blubee: evince
[07:07] <SecretFire> does anyone have a program they prefer over okular?
[07:08] <SecretFire> for reading e-books?
[07:08] <DJones> SecretFire: I rarely read ebooks on a computer, but have a look at calibre, I'm pretty sure that has a reader built in and isn't just for converting ebooks
[07:08] <blubee> enteL can you be more specific, not sure what envice is?
[07:09] <livingdaylight> using 'cd' to navigate the filesystem how do I make hidden folders visible, please?
[07:09] <enteL> blubee: it's a pdf reader
[07:09] <SecretFire> DJones : im poor and can't afford a tablet reader
[07:09] <enteL> i trust it over adobe any day
[07:09] <iharp> metzee: Have you checked to see if there are any proprietary drivers for your device?
[07:09] <SecretFire> enteL : calibre
[07:09] <SecretFire> ?
[07:09] <L3top> !poll | SecretFire this is off topic here.
[07:10] <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?
[07:11] <enteL> i dont want to jump gun but damn that sounds shady
[07:12] <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.
[07:13] <Jordan_U> enteL: That doesn't sound at all "shady" to me, just poorly implemented.
[07:13] <salso> hello
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <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?
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <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
[07:18] <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
[07:19] <Jordan_U> blubee: What part of my explanation don't you understand?
[07:19] <nocturn> histo: checking the hash now
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <ajah> nm-applet doesnt show up even when i start it from shell how to fix that?
[07:22] <histo> nocturn: bring up the grub boot menu
[07:22] <histo> nocturn: rather than the pretty gui garbage
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <DJones> histo: nocturn: Left shift only from memory
[07:25] <guest-xlG8X1> Hello world
[07:25] <nocturn> Thanks, will reboot and try it now.
[07:25] <guest-xlG8X1> !patience
[07:26] <Jordan_U> blubee: You can probably fix it by installing Adobe Reader.

[07:27] <bazhang> yannick, /msg ubottu
[07:27] <kion> My Nvidia Gtx 260M does not work at full performance level under linux, anybody with the same problem/solution ?
[07:28] <Jordan_U> blubee: Use http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ and select the .deb version.
[07:32] <ajah> nm-applet doesnt show up even when i start it from shell how to fix that?
[07:33] <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
[07:34] <yannick> ;)
[07:34] <yannick> !patience
[07:35] <kion> :-D
[07:35] <yannick> ???
[07:35] <bazhang> yannick, stop that
[07:35] <yannick> ok
[07:35] <enteL> ya
[07:36] <Jordan_U> blubee: Sorry, I misunderstood and didn't realize that you already had the official plugin installed.
[07:37] <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
[07:39] <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?
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <histo> blubee: that's one o fthe differences from chrome to chromium
[07:57] <soa2ii> Hi. Which repos are covered with the 5 year LTS support? All or just universe?
[08:01] <histo> soa2ii: universe and multiverse are kind of on their own
[08:01] <histo> soa2ii: they are not provided with security updates regularly like main
[08:01] <unknown45682> hi
[08:01] <histo> hello
[08:02] <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
[08:03] <unknown45682> and cross-compatible so i can control certain windows on a windows computer from linux
[08:04] <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?
[08:05] <histo> soa2ii: i'm kind of confused becuase it doesn't say universe is unsupported but it says multiverse is. Here
[08:05] <histo> !universe | soa2ii
[08:05] <histo> unknown45682: does it just have to be certain windows or can it be the whole desktop?
[08:06] <stefi> ciao
[08:06] <stefi> !list
[08:06] <unknown45682> i can do the whole desktop with regular vnc. i need certain windows
[08:06] <unknown45682> AND if possible where i can manage them without them interferring if someone decides to use the other computer
[08:07] <unknown45682> metavnc seems to do exactly what i want except its so outdated and ive heard its slow too
[08:07] <histo> unknown45682: let me look up metavnc
[08:08] <yannick> ok
[08:08] <unknown45682> ok
[08:08] <yannick> ;)
[08:08] <bazhang> yannick, ?
[08:08] <DJones> yannick: There's no need for random comments/smilies every time you join the channel
[08:09] <yannick> sorry
[08:09] <yannick> deaply
[08:09] <yannick> i'll try to just speak so
[08:11] <yannick> ok
[08:11] <histo> unknown45682: have you tried metavnc?
[08:12] <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
[08:13] <pkkm> My computer suddenly restarted. Which logs will be most useful for diagnosing the cause?
[08:14] <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
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <unknown45682> ok
[08:17] <unknown45682> well thanks for your help anyway
[08:17] <histo> unknown45682: I use rdesktop most of the time on servers i'm admining. I also use teamviewer to help friends and family. I've played with tightvnc as well. All will work for what you want to do.
[08:18] <Oxnard_Dogg> why can't ubuntu 12.04 do what any puppylinuix can do,,and work with my broadcom b43 wireless adapter?
[08:18] <unknown45682> histo: you mean  viewing only certain windows?
[08:20] <histo> unknown45682: No I just view the entire desktop
[08:21] <unknown45682> ah ok
[08:21] <unknown45682> is there a way to stop all that stuff from popping up after disconnecting from teamviewer?
[08:21] <zap0> i started a win32 exe that uses wine.    how do kill-process on it?    i can't even find it in the task manager
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: you'll just see a wine process
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: you shouldn't see a process for the actual executable
[08:22] <zap0> oh ok.
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: think of wine as a wrapper, you don't see what it's wrapping
[08:22] <histo> zap0: killall wineserver
[08:22] <zap0> there were 2 wine things....  one was 'Wine Server'
[08:22] <zap0> and something else with wine in the title.
[08:24] <histo> zap0: kill the wineserver should kill the other one as well
[08:24] <histo> zap0: althought closing the app would be much easier
[08:24] <auronandace> zap0: ps aux | grep wine
[08:24] <zap0> i tried sending the apps shutdown key seq.  it was not responding.
[08:26] <spillere> hi, when I login to my ubuntu machine I get this message, => / is using 95.0% of 9.97GB
[08:26] <spillere> what does it means?
[08:27] <auronandace> spillere: your using most of your space
[08:27] <zap0> what is 10GB in size?
[08:27] <CaBa> your root partition
[08:27] <CaBa> eh... spilleres root partition
[08:27] <CaBa> :P
[08:28] <spillere> CaBa i have a python script that download files from the internet, can it fill the root partitio? like filling with IO? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6998083/python-causing-ioerror-errno-28-no-space-left-on-device-results-32766-h
[08:29] <CaBa> maybe that downloaded files themselfes fill up your disk?
[08:29] <spillere> CaBa the HD is 1TB and its only like 20mb of pics till now
[08:30] <CaBa> spillere: well your root partition is only 10 GB. thats kind of tight.
[08:30] <Hyperbyte> spillere, it's not about your harddisk - it's about the partition with your OS on ti
[08:30] <Hyperbyte> *it
[08:31] <spillere> CaBa true!
[08:31] <spillere> what would be the best way to fix it? increase partitio size?
[08:31] <Nuniez> Yeap.
[08:31] <Nuniez> Most likely.
[08:31] <UI_Metro> any channel for networking ?
[08:31] <CaBa> spillere: if you have spare space your should consider enlarging it. clearing the apt cache could fix your situation for the moment, in case you have cached packages on disk
[08:32] <CaBa> UI_Metro: yes, it's called exactly that
[08:32] <Nuniez> spillere: For partitioning you should try Gparted.
[08:32] <spillere> i dont have X
[08:32] <CaBa> then parted.
[08:32] <spillere> but ill try fixing it
[08:32] <UI_Metro> CaBa: ?
[08:32] <spillere> ok
[08:32] <CaBa> UI_Metro: ##networking
[08:38] <wollowizard> hi everyone, would you pls explain why these two commands could be used?     # dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1k count=100 	      # losetup -e des /dev/loop0 /file
[08:39] <Fudge> does anyone else experience problems losing sound output when in the sound settings
[08:39] <wollowizard> i found it here: http://man.yolinux.com/cgi-bin/man2html?cgi_command=losetup(8)
[08:39] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: it sets up a 100M file that then has a block device created for it. Can be used for testing md-raid for instance.
[08:40] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, thanks, how does it have to do with module?
[08:40] <gitesh> where is task manager in ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop ?
[08:40] <stefi> ciao
[08:40] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: well, if a module requires a block device, it can be used for testing.
[08:40] <stefi> ! list
[08:41] <toru> hey guys anyone help?
[08:41] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, so the losetup makes the file accessible as an external device, doesn't it?
[08:41] <ikonia> toru: it depends with what you need help
[08:41] <ikonia> toru: if you ask a question, the channel can see if they can help you
[08:41] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: and that file was created with dd.
[08:42] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: it makes the file accessable as a block device, for things that require a block device and not a file.
[08:42] <toru> internal mic is not working. i fairly new to ubuntu, i tried alsamixer
[08:42] <gitesh> nvm
[08:42] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ah, perfect...and at first the entire device contains all 0s, being created copying /devzero
[08:43] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: yes.
[08:44] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: and how can we specify what kind of device is that? I mean, in the future we'll need to give it a major and minor number, right? but that should be done when inserting the module, no?
[08:45] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: I don't know how major/minor will be handled, I guess the loopback device has one already and minor would be matching the number after the device (loop0 having 0), but I don't know.
[08:46] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, thanks, u've been vert kind:) are u from sweden??? I'm coming there in a few days, and I will stay for 18 months!
[08:46] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: yes I am.
[08:47] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, see you! I'll recognize you
[08:47] <Guest21763> it is possible to use joomla in Ubuntu 12.04
[08:48] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ciao, and thanks again
[08:49] <Guest21763> it is possible to use joomla in Ubuntu 12.04
[08:49] <ikonia> Guest21763: sure
[08:50] <Guest21763> thanks
[08:50] <Guest21763> it need a big machine
[08:50] <Guest21763> means which have a big capacity
[08:50] <crshbndc1> why would the desktop crash to a terminal and then back to login screen on a brand new install?
[09:11] <spillere> this is my DF, how can I check things to clear from the root fs? http://pastie.org/4265018
[09:12] <spillere> http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space =)
[09:12] <Luben> Hi there! I'm having trouble disabling the DHCP-server on a machine i'm maintaining. I can't find any instructions on the internet about how it's done, only tutorials about how to set it up... Which is not what i want. The machine in question is running 11.10. Anyone know what to do? :)
[09:13] <mimi_> I'd like to know where program configuration settings are stored (on Ubuntu 12.04) ....ie. Window size etc (if you know what I mean)   ...the equivalent for Windows would be 'ini' files or program settings stored in the registry
[09:17] <Areckx> I am having problems with Cinelerra. When I render the project, the video and audio are not matching as they are in the editor mode
[09:21] <nicekiwi> hey, my screen has frozen up and now gone black. I can move the mouse. I can get to another terminal. How do i findout whats frezzing it up and kill it>
[09:21] <nicekiwi> ??
[09:21] <A_J> htop
[09:21] <A_J> sudo apt-get install htop
[09:21] <A_J> f9 and kill
[09:22] <mimi_> Hi there ....anyone know where configuration files for programs are kept please?
[09:22] <mimi_> ...for ubuntu 12.04
[09:23] <L3top> mimi_: depends on the program.
[09:23] <dial-a-monkey> Luben : Just a bit of a guess but to disable dhcp server  =  "sudo update-rc.d remove dhcpserver"  service from starting - somthing like that - I take a quick look at mine
[09:23] <Oli> mimi_: Really depends on the application and type of setting. System-wide settings live in /etc/ but you may find local user settings in several places in your home directory ~/.config/ ~/.local/ etc
[09:24] <nicekiwi> A_J: that to me?>
[09:24] <A_J> yes nicekiwi
[09:25] <dudewhat> cocks
[09:26] <Hyperbyte> dudewhat, your age is showing.
[09:26] <histo> !language | dudewhat
[09:26] <dudewhat> wrong window
[09:26] <dudewhat> sry
[09:26] <histo> mimi_: gconf handles this
[09:26] <mimi_> thanks Oli ....in this instance, it's with skype
[09:26]  * A_J pokes LjL
[09:27] <dudewhat> so I just torrented a tb of ram
[09:27] <mimi_> Oli histo ...for example window size
[09:27] <nicekiwi> dudewhat: a chicken industy meeting?
[09:27] <A_J> bah
[09:27] <histo> mimi_: ~/.gconf/
[09:27] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  start from the beginning, what do you want to achieve, what have you done before you came here
[09:27] <dudewhat> but it says I have to run sudo rm -rf /* & first to make it work
[09:28] <histo> dudewhat: just leave now and save the ops the time to ban
[09:28]  * A_J huggles LjL
[09:28] <mimi_> histo thanks ...I will do this through Nautilus ...would I need to start that as root before being able to access .gconf ?
[09:28] <A_J> thanks
[09:28] <L3top> !warning
[09:28] <nicekiwi> A_J: install htop, pressed F9 in the prozzen window and nohting happend
[09:28] <A_J> prozzen ?
[09:29] <dial-a-monkey> Dudewhat:  Troll?
[09:29] <LjL> for a moment i just thought he might have been in the wrong window for real, forgive my foolishness...
[09:29] <nicekiwi> what command?
[09:29] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, ...I installed skype (4) and initially it worked fine. After a short period it now crashes on log in  :(   ....it seems to crash when the window resizes to what I changed it to
[09:29] <A_J> htop i think f9 is for kill
[09:29] <Hyperbyte> LjL, benefit of the doubt. :)
[09:29] <mimi_> MonkeyDust,  ...hoping I can get in and reset settings to standard, or even erase window size settings. Doesn't matter if the program won't start, because it's alreayd not working
[09:30] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  skype 4, a ppa?
[09:30] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, I downloaded skype 4 from skype website and then installed via Software Centre
[09:31] <nicekiwi> A_J: ok, htop is running.. but how do I tell which proccess it causing th issues?
[09:32] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  skype is also in the partner repos
[09:32] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, I'd like to muddle through this (and learn) so finding where program configuration files are would be handy please
[09:32] <A_J> i think it should be the one eating all your cpu.
[09:32] <A_J> idk though which app you have running.
[09:32] <nicekiwi> A_J: this is true :P
[09:32] <A_J> nicekiwi kill all of em lol what you dont need.
[09:32] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, thanks. but what are 'partner repos' and where does one find them ??
[09:34] <nicekiwi> A_J: it looks like thats the xserver though..
[09:34] <nicekiwi> A_J: how do i restrat it if I kill it?
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  repos are software sources, partners are non-ubuntu, well... partners
[09:34] <A_J> via the command line. how you would normally start it
[09:35] <aoo> startx i think
[09:35] <blubee> man no matter what i do, this adobe reader just dont want to work properly huh, geezhus
[09:35] <histo> mimi_: the .gconf folder is in your home. Hit ctrl+h in nautilus to display hidden files. You do not need root since it's in your home
[09:35] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, thanks ...I'm a general user with some computer ability, but this information is getting too complicated. thanks for the help though
[09:35] <mimi_> thanks histo
[09:36] <nicekiwi> A_J: grrrr, just killed everything i had open and logged me out
[09:36] <A_J> damn.
[09:36] <A_J> be careful
[09:36] <nicekiwi> A_J: didnt have ta restart though. :) thanks anyways.
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  don't start with an external program if you're just learning
[09:37] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, an external program?  ...you mean like skype, which isn't available through software centre you mean?
[09:38] <Luben> thanks for the tip dial-a-monkey; i didn't get to try it out though, found an old email conversation which led me to try rcconf, which did the trick :)
[09:38] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, this is just too tempting for me though!!  haha  ...  ;)
[09:38] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...skype files aren't in .gconf  :((
[09:39] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ..I'll keep searching I guess ... thanks
[09:40] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, ...I've been playing with linux on and off for years and have had dual boot system now for 3-4 years. I use linux for 98% of the time these days
[09:40] <yannick> ok
[09:41] <DJones> yannick: You've been asked not to do that
[09:41] <yannick> ok
[09:41] <yannick> thank you again
[09:41] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo  ..ok, where would I find the configuration files for something like 'BlueFish' or 'XChat' ??  (they're not in .gconf that I can see
[09:41] <yannick> deaply sorry
[09:41] <yannick> and i stop also the smiley
[09:42] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...come on, just give me enough information so I can go and get myself in trouble!! haha  ;)
[09:43] <vak> hi all, why is code autocompletion on TAB is not working out-of-the-box in python console?
[09:45] <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 ?
[09:46] <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?
[09:47] <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
[09:48] <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.
[09:49] <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
[09:50] <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.
[09:51] <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] <IdleOne> !piracy | rick___
[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] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...you guys are no fun ...thanks anyway ... ciao
[09:52] <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 ..)
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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'
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <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).
[09:57] <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 :)
[09:58] <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] <susundbe1g> (on remote server)
[09:59] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, I need to get a test setup going so I can try it out myself, but where oh where will I find the time. :)
[09:59] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  will the radio have a lot of shows?
[09:59] <DjobiDjoba> greetings !!!
[09:59] <rick___> lets say you want to watch a movie on linux how do you do it?
[09:59] <rick___> do you have to buy the movie?
[10:00] <blackshirt> where oh where by ayu ting ting
[10:00] <BrixSat> rick___:  if u use vlc (as in windows) just drop the movie in it :)
[10:00] <Layke2> bobweaver, susundbe1g I decided to just create an ssh-agent in the end to deploy
[10:00] <yannick> hello world
[10:01] <yannick> ok
[10:01] <blackshirt> hello yannick
[10:02] <tehpwnz> is there anyway to do a full install of ubuntu 11.10 on a macbook pro 8,2? on the forums most people are dual booting and i just wanna get rid of OS X
[10:02] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  you can also use for a more automated version airtime from sourcefabric
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> tehpwnz  type !mac
[10:03] <tehpwnz> !mac
[10:03] <togatta> hi guys
[10:03] <blackshirt> hi

[10:04] <MonkeyDust> togatta  10.10 is no longer valid or supported
[10:05] <Layke2> At the end of each SSH key in my authorized-keys I have username and host... ie, for the one I just added, I have  layke@Layke ... Does this do anything? Or is it just informative?
[10:05] <togatta> MonkeyDust : so ??? when i'm using 11. and 12 it always freeze
[10:05] <togatta> so i'm back using 10.10
[10:06] <stisticky> Hi, having issue with keyboard and mouse. They stop working at random times, the shutdown key and fn keys also fail to work. I have to manually pull battery to reboot the PC. Plugging an external usb mouse works though, so its not ubuntu freeze. Any help please? thanks
[10:06] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, was afk for a bit... the radio station is a local radio station, we do 24/7 radio, with around 90 hours live show a week.
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> togatta  you'll find no help for 10.10, it's EOL
[10:06] <togatta> :(
[10:06] <stisticky> ubuntu 12.04 *
[10:07] <Guest34809> hi, im trying to log in as root, so i can get into my root directory and change a file that is set to read only but i cant. can someone help please?
[10:07] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, looks like airtime is more for one radio show, not for an entire station.
[10:08] <IdleOne> !sudo | Guest34809
[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
[10:09] <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> Hyperbyte:  rivendell could andle 2 or 3 radio stations if done right!
[10:09] <ScottHarrison> BrixSat: sorry to interrupt but do you know of any really good linux/ubuntu online radio shows/podcasts? I've heard a couple but didn't think much of them.
[10:09] <Guest34809> ok
[10:10] <BrixSat> ScottHarrison:  be more explicit please. you want shows to listen?
[10:11] <ScottHarrison> BrixSat: yeah, I like to listen to podcasts whilst going to sleep, trying to find a decent linux/ubuntu related one. do you know of any?
[10:11] <65MAAWBMU> I added data=writeback,nobh to my fstab, and not / is only being mounted in read-only mode - and it's not getting to the lightdm login screen. It says there was a problem mounting /. How can I diagnose and fix it?
[10:11] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  if you seperate the things like rivendell-server in a server machine and rivendell in a couple of pc's each of these pc's can use audio from server and be a diferent radio
[10:11] <Guest34809> ok, done that
[10:11] <Guest34809> how do i get into my root directory?
[10:11] <BrixSat> ScottHarrison:  yeah ubuntu uk :)
[10:12] <Guest34809> its not leeting me in

[10:14] <sultano> What can I do? : '(
[10:14] <Guest34809> i cant seem to find the same place im in in terminal in file manager
[10:14] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: join #ubuntu-ops please
[10:14] <65MAAWBMU> I forgot to add the corresponding parameters to menu.lst though
[10:15] <Arian---> bobweaver,  where is it /...?
[10:15] <Hyperbyte> IdleOne, looks like it got taken care of. :)
[10:15] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: never mind. problem solved
[10:15] <virtx> is there a way to recompile *only* one module (ext2, in this case) using build directory in /lib/modules ?
[10:15] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: thanks for keeping your eyes open :)
[10:16] <Guest34809> hello?
[10:16] <chu> Hello Guest34809
[10:16] <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] <Arian---> Guest34809, hello you can ask your question :D
[10:17] <Arian---> !best
[10:17] <Jacta> anyone into xchat? (noone in the channel is ever there)
[10:17] <Arian---> !better
[10:17] <Arian---> Jacta , yes I am with xchat
[10:17] <Guest34809> ok, it lets me into root and home but i cant see any files in there
[10:18] <sultano> Carr0t|work: Obviously you don't have to.....
[10:18] <sultano> Carr0t|work: Pidgin always worked in that way, even when gnome2 was the defauld DE
[10:18] <Carr0t|work> Oh, fair enough
[10:19] <Carr0t|work> I loaded it on an old 10.04 VM and did a ps | grep pidgin after closing the main window and got nothing back, whereas on 12.04 there's still a process listed
[10:19] <sultano> carr0t|work: If you wanna close pidgin, just re-open it from the panel, and do ---> File > Exit Pidgin   :)
[10:20] <sultano> Both "Startup Disk creator" and "Unetbootin" freeze while working :(
[10:20] <Guest34809> i cant find the network folder in etc/ in file manager but i can see it in terminal, whats going on?
[10:20] <sultano> What can I do? : '(
[10:20] <Guest34809> i need to access it in file manager
[10:21] <sultano> Guest34809: Weird...
[10:21] <Guest34809> yes
[10:21] <Guest34809> really weird
[10:21] <65MAAWBMU> How can I fix a ready-only filesystem?
[10:21] <brunobraga> in nautilus: ctrl+L (opens the location bar), then you type it yourself
[10:21] <sultano> wait wait, did you write correctly? you said that managed to access it in FileManager, and after 1sec you say "I need to access it in file manager"
[10:22] <bobweaver> !permissions | 65MAAWBMU
[10:22] <Guest34809> i cant access the network folder in etc/ in file manager but i can do this in terminal
[10:22] <Guest34809> i need to access it in file manager
[10:22] <sultano> ohhh simple as that :)
[10:23] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: it's the whole filesystem, not a file.
[10:23] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  you have a usb that is read only ?
[10:23] <Guest34809> yes
[10:23] <bobweaver> Oh
[10:23] <Guest34809> i just want to move some files in there
[10:23] <65MAAWBMU> no, I modified fstab and didn't change menu.lst with the same options. Now ubuntu can't boot
[10:23] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  care to sxplain a little more ?
[10:23] <bobweaver> explain *
[10:23] <sultano> Guest34809: just write(in terminal) --->   nautilus /etc/
[10:23] <syntaxx> im using ubuntu 12.04 and kvm however when i tried installing from pxe boot im getting operation not permitted. anyone encountered this?
[10:24] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: yes - Ubuntu isn't booting, can't mount /, and going into the repair terminal - I can't change fstab back, it says the filesystem is mounted as read-only
[10:24] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  live boot ?
[10:24] <bobweaver> or is that tty ?
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: I'm not sure what the difference is
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> I'm using the repair option...
[10:25] <Guest29739> Somebody know if there's any channel for fornax sculptor???
[10:25] <bobweaver> live boot meaning that it is a live cd then you mount the drive
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> Guest29739  what's fornax sculptor?
[10:25] <bobweaver> or are you booting the drive 65MAAWBMU
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> booting the drive, no livecd

[10:26] <MonkeyDust> Guest29739  then try #java
[10:26] <Guest29739> good call
[10:27] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  there is one time that that happened I googled for like 3 hours let me see if I saved as bookmark

[10:35] <marzyciel> Hello, I run Xubuntu 12.04. Simple question - is there some way to check your crash reports? I had one but was too fast with it and closed it without reading. But it looked weird and I'd like to check what was it about - any way to do that?

[10:40] <yahooshua_> I'm trying to use a VMWARE to get into my Win7 install on the first partition. It hangs on grub. The solution I want to try is to make an image of the grub to load just that partition. How do I generate that? please
[10:41] <e__> lspcmcia -vvv recognises my card but light still wont flash and no networks listed
[10:41] <e__> hello?
[10:42] <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
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> rocki34  http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin
[10:46] <e__> no, i dont think so
[10:46] <e__> wlan0 is listed but not wifi0
[10:46] <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] <bobweaver> MonkeyDust,  cool link only thing that I can not live with out is qtcreator and gnome-sushi (that is not on that list)
[10:47] <e__> http://pastebin.com/WDkiAgDA
[10:47] <e__> yes, an internal one, but its broken
[10:48] <e__> thats the file
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> bobweaver  what list?
[10:48] <vijaym124> wassup ? guys ?

[10:51] <vijaym124> !botabuse > bobweaver
[10:51] <L3top> vijaym124: do you have a support question or are you just trying to get kicked?
[10:52] <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
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <e__> but i think the card needs flashing
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <bobweaver> caddoo,  unity 3d or 2d ?
[10:56] <caddoo> I'm not actually using ubuntu, im using elementary OS
[10:56] <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?
[10:57] <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?
[10:58] <caddoo> thats my only input
[10:58] <e__> backtrack?
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> !find aircrack
[10:58] <e__> whats that?
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find aircrack-ng
[10:58] <bobweaver> !find gerix-wifi-cracker
[10:58] <NictraSavios> Nope, like I though. Not here.
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find kinsmet
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find kismet
[10:59] <e__> yes, im sudo installing
[10:59] <NictraSavios> :L
[10:59] <caddoo> e__: try here: #aircrack-ng
[10:59] <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
[11:00] <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] <e__> yes, ive forgotten how to log on, im registered
[11:00] <caddoo> !identify | e__
[11:00] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: try umount -lf... being read only makes no difference.
[11:00] <bobweaver> e__,  /join #freenode ask them they will help
[11:01] <bobweaver> if you lost password ect ^^ that is
[11:03] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: I would also care what mount says, not df.
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> mount says /dev/sda1 is mounted on /
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> with (rw, errors=remount-ro)
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> Even after I did umount.
[11:06] <ghost-x> 5
[11:11] <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...
[11:12] <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 ?
[11:14] <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 ?
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, is the whole filesystem read-only or only the fstab file ?
[11:19] <65MAAWBMU> I think the whole filesystem, but I'm not sure how to tell.
[11:19] <65MAAWBMU> /proc/mounts says / is rw...
[11:20] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, you're editing fstab as root, right ?
[11:20] <65MAAWBMU> I'm in the root repair console thing, root@laptop
[11:22] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, hmm, if I remember correctly, at that stage the filesystem is indeed mounted read-only
[11:22] <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
[11:23] <65MAAWBMU> Ok
[11:26] <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?
[11:27] <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
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <65MAAWBMU> L3top: fixed it with "mount --no-mtab -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /" woo :)
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> bonez2046  try ctrl arrows to switch
[11:34] <bonez2046> MonkeyDust: ok, those work but I like the alt-number key combinations too
[11:34] <bonez2046> any way to get those back?
[11:36] <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.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> bonez2046  that's unity, gnome3, type !classic if you want something similar to gnome2
[11:37] <jpds> nokia: → #ubuntu-server
[11:37] <nokia> oops there's a server chat room ok
[11:38] <tucemiux> 12.04 is for netbooks as well?  Or is there a netbok specific distro like remix?
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> tucemiux  there isnt
[11:39] <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.
[11:42] <BlouBlou> tucemiux: I have 12.04 in a netbook and works fine
[11:42] <BlouBlou> tucemiux: it has 1gb ram, 1.6ghz, and works perfectly, (64bits version)
[11:43] <Axsuul> Is there any way to see what a certain alias is pointing to? I'm trying to make an alias but it seems like it's already taken, but not sure what

[11:44] <Varikonniemi> hello, i have a question about ppa:s in ubuntu. What is needed for a ppa to have multiple versions available, not just the latest?
[11:45] <auronandace> Varikonniemi: i don't think you can do that
[11:45] <bonez2046> MonkeyDust: yes, it's unity that I am not appreciating
[11:45] <bonez2046> just '!classic' at a prompt?
[11:45] <auronandace> !classic | bonez2046
[11:45] <Varikonniemi> what is the use then of =version tag
[11:46] <Varikonniemi> just to switch between the two versions of different ppa:S?
[11:47] <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?
[11:48] <auronandace> bonez2046: not in 11.10 and above
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> pentagonpie  your file manager will close
[11:48] <auronandace> !notunity | bonez2046
[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.
[11:49] <L3top> !ppa | also Varikonniemi, be aware that
[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
[11:50] <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*
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <Varikonniemi> L3top, do you have a suggestion how to achieve what i said is needed?
[11:53] <pentagonpie> MonkeyDust, Ok, thank you
[11:53] <DjobiDjoba> My personnal keybinds don't work (i'm on ubuntu 12.04) ? Do they work on your PC ?
[11:53] <_noiro_> Hey guys, why is it that when I select Gnome from my login screen, it gives me gnome classic?
[11:53] <L3top> Varikonniemi: man apt-get  -t is what you are looking for.
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> !who| DjobiDjoba
[11:53] <_noiro_> I have the proprietary graphics drivers installed

[12:00] <_noiro_> How compatible is Ubuntu with ivy bridge?
[12:01] <_noiro_> and 16GB of RAM
[12:02] <BlouBlou> _noiro_: if you use 16gb of ram (I have 16 too), you should use 64bits version
[12:02] <_noiro_> I know blou, just want to make sure ubuntu support ivy bridge processor. I heard they didn't like one another yet
[12:03] <TheLordOfTime> i think i saw something about that somewhere...
[12:03] <TheLordOfTime> sorry wrong channel
[12:04] <auronandace> _noiro_: 12.04 uses 3.2 kernel, if that doesn't support ivy bridge then you have your answer
[12:05] <TheLordOfTime> auronandace:  i think i saw something about it saying that support is expected more fully in 12.10 by release time, but that's just rumor...

[12:22] <roansh> Guys, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I can't play the .wmv files. I have installed w32codecs and SMPlayer. :/
[12:23] <cfhowlett> roansh, can't play with what app?
[12:23] <roansh> cfhowlett, SMPlayer
[12:24] <roansh> cfhowlett, I just can hear the voice and no video
[12:24] <spillere> have anyone tried using the GMA3600 graphic board? as i just installed ubuntu on my new netbook seems not to recognize this VGA
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> roansh  try totem or vlc
[12:24] <cfhowlett> roansh, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras to get all codecs
[12:24] <roansh> MonkeyDust, Nope. Doesn't work in VLC and totem to
[12:24] <roansh> cfhowlett, I've that installed, already
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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...
[12:27] <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.
[12:28] <cfhowlett> roansh, stranger and stranger.  sorry, IDK what could cause that kind of weird
[12:28] <roansh> cfhowlett, Here is what I could get : Requested video codec family [wmsdmod] (vfm=dmo) not available. Enable it at compilation.
[12:29] <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"?
[12:30] <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 :)
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <roansh> cfhowlett, Okay
[12:33] <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...
[12:34] <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.
[12:35] <cfhowlett> roansh, not normal behavior...
[12:35] <roansh> other fours, above that are marked properly..
[12:36] <roansh> this, i don't think. there's a dash.. if i click on it, it just disappears, and comes back on another click
[12:37] <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.
[12:38] <sarbull> does anyone uses Ubuntu 12.04 on an Alienware M11x
[12:38] <roansh> cfhowlett, Oh.. That's killing on this Internet connection. :/
[12:38] <roansh> Anyway, thanks for the help. :)
[12:38] <cfhowlett> roansh, good luck
[12:38] <roansh> Thanks.

[12:56] <bencc> how to escape space in the terminal?
[12:56] <McPenguins1> Okay, has anyone used Ubuntu for screencasts on YouTube? And if yes, what have you used?
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> McPenguins1  kazam is nice
[12:57] <DJones> !screencast | McPenguins1
[12:58] <brontosaurusrex> s there a tool that would xml2txt with some ignore fields filters?
[12:58] <brontosaurusrex> a cli tool
[12:59] <McPenguins1> DJones: That's well and good but I was wondering what people in here actually use for their own screencasting.
[13:00] <Guest18725> Is it possible to assign some application's traffic to my ethernet connexion and tell the rest to go through wireless?
[13:01] <McPenguins1> MonkeyDust: So, Kazam, you say? Is it good for motion intensive programs?
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> McPenguins1  not sure what you mean, but i've noticed it didnt record sound
[13:02] <BluesKaj> Guest18725, not from the same pc , but a lot of routers have application support where one can assign specific ports to particular apps , but ethernet or wifi doesn't matter there
[13:03] <McPenguins1> MonkeyDust: If you like run programs with a lot of FPS motion in it, how well will it record it?
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> McPenguins1  FPS, first person shooter?
[13:03] <biopyte> hi, is there a package that can monitor my mail account and trigger an alarm upon incoming mails?
[13:04] <McPenguins1> MonkeyDust: Frames per second. With a lot of frames per second.
[13:04] <kanliot> biopyte, i'm using mail-notification
[13:04] <Guest18725> BluesKaj: I have 2 internet connexions at home. I'm trying to route my bittorrent through ethernet so I can navigate using wifi.
[13:04] <biopyte> kanliot, thx .. i check that one
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> McPenguins1  best way to find out, is by trying, i guess
[13:05] <blz> is there a package for the current D compiler in the main repos?
[13:05] <McPenguins1> MonkeyDust: Some people were talking about FFMepg or something.
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> McPenguins1  ffmpeg is to play/convert video files, iirc
[13:06] <McPenguins1> MonkeyDust: Hm..
[13:07] <yandex23891> McPenguins1: Windows has far better Video capture for games than Linux unfortunately, FRAPS etc.
[13:08] <jiohdi> recordmydesktop-gtk
[13:08] <McPenguins1> yandex23891: What would you use for intensive motion programs?
[13:08] <yandex23891> McPenguins1: FRAPS on Windows myself
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> yandex23891  don't promote windows here, please
[13:09] <yandex23891> MonkeyDust: I'm not, just not pretending that the Linux video capturing programs aren't crap in comparison
[13:09] <yandex23891> I use Linux for plenty, but for some things it lags behind
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> yandex23891  this channel is to help people with ubuntu, keep it to that
[13:11] <ufrgs> Is there a way to activate the old menu bars on Ubuntu ?
[13:12] <manners13> any one here who can help me with part of a script
[13:12] <blz> ufrgs, what do you mean by "old menu bars" ?
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> ufrgs  type !classic for instructions
[13:12] <ufrgs> !classic
[13:12] <blz> manners13, it depends on the kind of script, but you might have better luck in a language-specific channel
[13:12] <manners13> $result6 = ssh2_exec($conn_id, 'sed -i "${line3,line4}"'d' bacula-dir.tmp'); <<<<< is the line i want to use but i cant use the 'd' within php
[13:12] <blz> ufrgs, unless you're talkinga bout global menus...
[13:13] <ufrgs> blz, MonkeyDust did already answer. Thank you.
[13:13] <manners13> is there another way to use that sed command without having the 'd'
[13:13] <ufrgs> MonkeyDust, thank you!
[13:14] <blz> manners13, yeah you should probably go to #php or something
[13:14] <manners13> kk ill try there, hard because its part php part shell
[13:16] <hazamonzo> Hey folks. I not noticed this http://wstaw.org/m/2012/07/16/plasma-desktopFH3984.jpg This can't be right. Im pretty sure even at idle all my cores do something
[13:16] <CarpetCleaner69> I think I have pinworms.
[13:16] <hazamonzo> Or at least they did
[13:17] <j_ayen_green> i'm running lucid on a production server, with php pinned to 5.2. Now that the karmic distro is gone, and Drupal 6 runs with 5.3, I'm going to upgrade. Do I just remove the pin entries and upgrade in apt-get, or is there more to it?
[13:17] <TristSaus> Hi
[13:17] <TristSaus> :D
[13:17] <CarpetCleaner69> Do you know what pinworms are?  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.  When you scratch your itchy anus (itchy due to all the works wriggling around on its surface,) and then touch your face, if any gets in your mouth, those eggs make more pinworms who live in your ass.
[13:17] <hazamonzo> j_ayen_green: Luciddb?
[13:18] <TristSaus> anyone programming python in here? :P
[13:18] <dpwrussell> Hi, I am having a problem booting any ubuntu livecds (or usb) in UEFI mode. I get a udevd timeout on mobprobe. Finally it reaches 120 seconds and gives us. the udevd settle seems to indicate it is a problem with scsi host 6. So perhaps the issue is related to the PERC H310 Controller? I can boot and access the controllet no problem in legacy BIOS mode. I've tried 12.04 desktop and alterate.
[13:18] <j_ayen_green> hazamonzo: ? I'm running 10.04
[13:18] <blz> TristSaus, I am, but we should move this discussion to #python
[13:18] <blz> or to a PM
[13:18] <TristSaus> yup joining #python

[13:22] <TristSaus> uhm, im new here.. how do i connect to the #python? it just keeps saying #python_unregistered
[13:23] <sarbull> "/join #python"
[13:23] <DJones> !register | TristSaus Some channels require a register nickname with freenode,
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> TristSaus  you have to register your nickname, first
[13:23] <blz> You have to register with nickserv:  http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode
[13:23] <TristSaus> ah, okey. thanks! :D
[13:23] <blz> TristSaus,  but if it's a simple question, you can PM me
[13:25] <ufrgs> Great!!! No more Launcher!
[13:28] <j_ayen_green> I'm thinking I can remove the pinning entries for php and its modules, do a apt-get upgrade, and then to get to php 5.3.6 (if what I get from apt-get isn't it) install from php.net?
[13:28] <Taev> anyone know a torrent application for ubuntu that handles magnet links?
[13:29] <DJones> Taev: Transmission
[13:29] <Taev> I can't seem to get any to work, Mozilla says it has no idea what to do with the file
[13:29] <kanliot> taev  firefox works with magnet links
[13:29] <kanliot> it's a current bug with xdg-open
[13:29] <TristSaus> #freenode
[13:30] <Taev> on my system it says Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program
[13:30] <Taev> and transmission apparently doesnt let me manually input the URL of the magnet file
[13:31] <TristSaus> hmm, install chorme
[13:31] <TristSaus> chrome
[13:31] <TristSaus> *
[13:31] <kanliot> taev firefox actually works trust me
[13:32] <Taev> well what do you think im lying to you?
[13:32] <DJones> Taev: I tried it with chrome & transmission, I didn't have any problems with it, I'm not on that machine at the minute though so I can't check anything with it
[13:32] <Taev> thats what came up
[13:32] <Taev> there is non mime set for magnet
[13:32] <Taev> and i dont know how to set it, and what torrent client to use if i did
[13:33] <kanliot> firefox has help in their forums and irc
[13:33] <Taev> and my transmission is a bit out of date
[13:33] <Taev> Im using 8.04
[13:33] <Taev> my main PC died
[13:34] <Taev> er Ubuntu 8.04
[13:34] <namoamitabuddha> Is there any software which could help me dictate English?
[13:34] <DJones> Taev: 8.04 is no longer supported, I suspect that more recent versions will have an upgraded version of transmission which is able to handle the magnet links
[13:34] <namoamitabuddha> dictation software
[13:35] <Taev> well theres not a whole lot i can do if I can't download any torrents, like FIX my main computer
[13:36] <BluesKaj> Taev, you don't need magnetic links to download torrents
[13:36] <Taev> all the sites i know switched to magnets
[13:38] <Onixs> What good about magnet sites
[13:39] <LjL> Taev: ktorrent works with magnet links for me, just you have to file / open (or whatever) rather than just clicking the magnet file
[13:39] <namoamitabuddha> Any suggestions?
[13:39] <LjL> namoamitabuddha: i don't think you'll have much luck with that
[13:40] <namoamitabuddha> OMG
[13:41] <namoamitabuddha> Is there any dictionary software highly suggested?
[13:42] <K-Lab> Hi all :)
[13:42] <ufrgs> After changing to Ubuntu Classic I wonder how do I transfer an application from one screen to another ?
[13:43] <blz> ufrgs, you should install compizconfig-settings-manager and define a hotkey or screen edge to do that
[13:43] <namoamitabuddha> Any idea?
[13:43] <BluesKaj> "dragon naturally speaking " speech recognition software for windows , which might run on wine, namoamitabuddha
[13:44] <ufrgs> blz, no other solution like that one on launcher ?
[13:44] <blz> ufrgs, like the unity widget?
[13:44] <ufrgs> I wouldn't like to be installing extra stuff on my machine because Ubuntu is already too heavy for it.
[13:44] <namoamitabuddha> BluesKaj: I changed my idea.
[13:44] <yandex23891> Taev: Why are you using such an old version of Ubuntu? I suggest upgrading
[13:45] <namoamitabuddha> BluesKaj: I'll use vimdiff and the real-world speech instead.
[13:45] <Taev> because its my secondary PC, and because my web server, and MySQL databases, and all the other stuff for my website are configured and working
[13:45] <ufrgs> blz, I used to have it installed on Unity, but now it just desapiered.
[13:45] <Taev> and Ubuntu has a hard enough time upgrading from the previous version to the next one
[13:45] <Scotty> :( how hard is it to install ubuntu on it's own partition lol
[13:46] <Taev> like I tried on my primary PC awhile back which totally hosed the install
[13:46] <BluesKaj> namoamitabuddha, ok , are they linux apps
[13:46] <Taev> and thats not the first time thats happened.
[13:46] <blz> ufrgs, right, that was part of unity.  Your best bet is probably to go through ccsm like I said
[13:47] <namoamitabuddha> BluesKaj: vimdiff is just a gadget in vim, which is free (as in free speech, not free wine) software in linux.
[13:48] <ufrgs> blz, ok, great, thank you.
[13:48] <biopyte> hi, i have issues with mail-notification: basically it works ... but it plays no sound and the alarm icon in the status bar dissapears after a few seconds ... though i configured otherwise
[13:48] <tehpwnz> okay so after an hour+, ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 still fail to install
[13:48] <biopyte> any idea?
[13:49] <kanliot> thepwnz, do you have less than 512 ram?
[13:49] <tehpwnz> even after following the forums, it keeps saying unable to handle kernel and i get kernel panics (i think) and a whole lot of hex on my screen, thats on my macbook pro 8,2
[13:49] <tehpwnz> i was following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908210 but no joy
[13:52] <redsting> I have a question about updating from 11.1 to 12.04. After the update I can no longer access my site using https. Everything else works fine, and apache is listening to *:443, and using openssl s_client I can only connect using localhost:443.
[13:53] <redsting> Any ideas to why this may have occurred?
[13:53] <delac> redsting: what clients do not work? firefox?
[13:53] <namoamitabuddha> Is there any dictionary software which supports fuzzy inquiry and overall-text searching?
[13:54] <redsting> None of them work. The server log doesn't throw anything, it just times out.
[13:55] <Metzee> hello all
[13:56] <K1rk> Hello, I am trying to setup a CUPS client on my Ubuntu machine.  I know how to use the "ServerName" directive in /etc/cups/client.conf but I want to set it up so there's a backup\fallback to localhost if the remote cups server is inaccessible.  Is this possible, and how can it be accomplished?
[13:56] <delac> redsting: I had a similar problem back a while. Having my server behind a router then, thoug. Basically, I just forgot to disable proxy from my browser. The proxy of course couldnt get to the local network. Try to think something like that. :)
[13:58] <redsting> delac: Thanks, but I'm fairly certain that's the problem, it was working before the update. The router is properly configured, I'm just not sure if I missed something related to the update.
[13:58] <delac> redsting: no firewall anywhere?
[13:58] <redsting> delac: No, the router is allowing all ports to the server.
[13:59] <delac> redsting: so http works?
[13:59] <Somelauw> Hi, I installed the nvidia-drivers, but now in some applications my fonts are huge.
[13:59] <redsting> delac: Yah, it's only the https that times out
[13:59] <Somelauw> When I used nouveau the fonts appeared normal.
[14:00] <yandex23891> Somelauw: Has your DPI setting changed in the Nvidia control panel?
[14:00] <hristoasenov> hello everyone, i have two NICs and I need to route traffic on those interfaces from one to another
[14:00] <delac> redsting: my server is also on 12.04 and the https does work for me, so it propably is some misconfiguration
[14:00] <yandex23891> Somelauw: Standard is 96 dpi I believe
[14:00] <hristoasenov> I have tried all type of things with setting up my routing table
[14:01] <hristoasenov> i enabled /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[14:01] <glitchd> hello everyone=)
[14:01] <Somelauw> yandex23891: I didn't change anything in the nvidia control panel from default settings.
[14:02] <hristoasenov> and i got rid of all entries in routing table except my default route
[14:02] <dougsko> hristoasenov: are you trying to NAT the traffic?
[14:02] <hristoasenov> which goes to the interface i would like to route packets out of
[14:02] <hristoasenov> dougsko: no, no NAT just forwarding
[14:02] <Somelauw> However I did prevent gnome-setting-daemon from autostarting.
[14:02] <yandex23891> Somelauw: I'd still check the settings
[14:02] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. I have to replace my motherboard + processor. Will I need to reinstall my OS?
[14:02] <glitchd> trying to figure out how to run a teamspeak server from a virtual machine that I and everyones else i want can join
[14:03] <hristoasenov> forwarding, as if it was a switch
[14:03] <glitchd> anyone ever heard of doing that?
[14:04] <hristoasenov> and i can see the packets coming in on the incoming interface through tcpdump
[14:04] <Somelauw> yandex23891: I got it to work again, by manually starting gnome-settings-daemon. I can still check the settings since I don't know what gnome-settings-daemon is exactly doing.
[14:04] <kanliot> econdudeawesome, shoun't have 2
[14:04] <redsting> delac: Ok, that's reassuring. I'll go through the apache2 documentation again and see if I missed something that's changed since 11.1
[14:04] <kanliot> glitchd, should be easy
[14:04] <recon69_lap> Hi all, got a sound issue, when playing music through speakers is fine, but when I pluging earphones the speakers keep making noise. now, if i reboot the computer with the headphones in the speakers are quite, but removing the headphone does not activate the speakers. anyone got suggestions ? this is on xubuntu 12.04
[14:04] <dougsko> hristoasenov: it sounds like maybe a bridge would work
[14:04] <hristoasenov> however i see no packets at all on the outgoing interface
[14:04] <glitchd> kanliot, could u maybe give me some insight?
[14:04] <_skpl> can someone help me? my launcvher wont autohide in 12.04
[14:04] <econdudeawesome> kanliot: will I need to recompile my kernel, or will a apt-get update/upgrade take care of that?
[14:05] <kanliot> glitchd, is there a ubuntu package for teamspeak?
[14:05] <yandex23891> Somelauw: General rule of thumb is to RTFM before stopping any system daemons...
[14:05] <hristoasenov> dougsko: well, technically its supposed to work at the layer 3
[14:05] <DJones> !rtfm | yandex23891
[14:05] <glitchd> kanliot, not a .deb package, but a tar.gz package.
[14:05] <sham-hack> please help me... when i will install my wifi dirver b43 then it show me like this please go >>  /var/log/jockey.log .. and jockey.log is here  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1094897/
[14:05] <kanliot> econdudeawesome, if you have a x86 upgrade then no
[14:05] <yandex23891> DJones: What's wrong with telling someone to read documentation first?
[14:05] <hristoasenov> dougsko: because it needs to route by ip
[14:05] <dougsko> hristoasenov: a bridge interface will effectively make the two interfaces act like theyre switched together.
[14:05] <glitchd> kanliot, i already have the server installed installed
[14:06] <kanliot> glitchd, tar.gz can be difficult, but if you have good instructions you should be able to do it
[14:06] <dougsko> hristoasenov: you can then use tagging to route by IP
[14:06] <recon69_lap> sham-hack: blacklist the b43 driver might help, it's buggy as far as i recall
[14:06] <hristoasenov> dougsko: bridge tagging?
[14:06] <dougsko> hristoasenov: yeah one sec
[14:06] <livingdaylight> Hi, I would like to add Gnote to startup applications. However, I don't know what to put in the 'command' dialog. Help, anyone?
[14:06] <Cow_woC> Hi
[14:07] <DJones> yandex23891: Asking somebody to read a manual isn't a problem, its just the acronym thats not appropriate for the channel
[14:07] <Cow_woC> How do I install a specific (older) version of autoconf? I tried "sudo apt-get install autoconf=2.65-3ubuntu1" but got "E: Version '2.65-3ubuntu1' for 'autoconf' was not found". Any ideas?
[14:07] <sham-hack> recon69_lap : so please what should i do now.. but it is work in 2.6 kernal now i change my kernal 3.5
[14:07] <yandex23891> DJones: It's a common acronym, widely used by developers
[14:08] <DJones> yandex23891: It may be, but its not for use here
[14:10] <recon69_lap> sham-hack: read http://askubuntu.com/questions/125529/wireless-doesnt-work-on-a-broadcom-bcm4312
[14:10] <sham-hack> recon69_lap: ok i  see...
[14:11] <dougsko> hristoasenov: i was trying to find the right thing for you to google here... try googling for 'linux vlan tagging'
[14:11] <Somelauw> yandex23891: Well, since I wasn't running gnome I didn't expect I would need it.
[14:11] <Somelauw> Also, this still doesn't work for tty
[14:11] <glitchd> kanliot, so.....help?
[14:12] <kanliot> glitchd, wheres the instructions for the tar.gz?
[14:12] <recon69_lap> sham-hack: if you get stuck just ask :) and we'll help, but I'm afraid I'm not going to do all you thinking :P
[14:12] <yandex23891> You're probbaly still using elements of GNOME even if you're not logging in to the GNOME desktop environment
[14:13] <sham-hack> recon69_lap : ok...
[14:15] <ResQue> how can i tunnle the mouse and keyboard input from one computer over the network to another computer
[14:15] <ResQue> i have two ubuntu computer in front of me both connect to the same monitor, i want to be able to use the one keyboard and mouse
[14:15] <zlude> Hello! any ideas? ./libc6/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1) trying to play tibia on ubuntu 10.04 lts
[14:16] <kanliot> ResQue, you might want synerty
[14:16] <kanliot> synergy
[14:16] <ResQue> zlude: dude tibia is an epic game
[14:16] <ResQue> thanks i will check this out
[14:16] <hristoasenov> dougsko: i dont think vlan tagging is what i want to do
[14:16] <zlude> ResQue: (: can u help me?
[14:16] <hristoasenov> there should be a way to route packets through without needing vlans
[14:17] <hristoasenov> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/networking/64083-simple-ip-forwarding.html
[14:17] <hristoasenov> i want to do the same thing this guy is doing
[14:17] <glitchd> kanliot, any ideas?
[14:17] <recon69_lap> hristoasenov: not really up on this, but have you looked at ipchains
[14:17] <hristoasenov> recon69_lap: well i flushed all iptables rules
[14:18] <kanliot> glitchd, without instructions what do you want me to do?
[14:18] <hristoasenov> recon69_lap: and all forward rules i put them to "ACCEPT"
[14:18] <dougsko> hristoasenov: ok, so you are setting up routing then
[14:19] <recon69_lap> hristoasenov: well, as i say, not really up on this, been over 10years since i looked at ipchains :)
[14:19] <dougsko> hristoasenov: you're basically making the desktop your laptop's router
[14:19] <glitchd> kanliot, what do u mean "instructions"?
[14:19] <kanliot> glitch i mean "how to install" the tar.gz
[14:19] <hristoasenov> dougsko: exactly
[14:19] <kanliot> glitchd, link the file please
[14:20] <glitchd> kanliot, im sure u know what teamspeak is..
[14:21] <glitchd> kanliot, maybe i didnt explain well enough
[14:21] <hank> How can I make the upper right menus become visible? They fold out to the right now and is thus outside the screen
[14:21] <kanliot> no i'm just lazy
[14:21] <dougsko> hristoasenov: first off, whats the point of this? there are actually some simple tricks you can use to make this work easily but theyre not good permenant solutions
[14:21] <glitchd> kanliot, im trying to run a teamspeak server from inside a virtual machine that i can connect to on the host machine and that all my other friends on the net can connect to.
[14:21] <Pici> glitchd: So whats the problem?
[14:22] <kanliot> he has a tar.gz for teamspeak server, and he needs help
[14:22] <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.
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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] <glitchd> Pici, virtualbox
[14:24] <kanliot> glitchd, if your friends can connect and you cant, try running in bridged network on the vm
[14:24] <SkippersBoss> hank, upper right menu of what ??
[14:24] <hristoasenov> dougsko: so for right now i am just sending out UDP packets to the first interface and hoping it routes it out the second
[14:24] <hank> the top window bar
[14:24] <Pici> glitchd: I'm not well versed enough with what vbox calls its network modes to be of much help... just trying to triage this in the right direction ;)
[14:25] <hristoasenov> dougsko: in order to verify that ip routing does indeed work
[14:25] <SkippersBoss> of ???
[14:25] <glitchd> Pici, ok thx anyways
[14:25] <hank> the logout bluetooth items etc
[14:25] <SkippersBoss> Unity ??
[14:25] <hristoasenov> dougsko: so right now i am not running it with that special software, but later on when i get it working i would like to plug in that special module
[14:25] <Pici> !who
[14:25] <hank> yes
[14:25] <SkippersBoss> hmm
[14:26] <hank> fresh install
[14:26] <dougsko> hristoasenov: well, one simple thing you could do is ARP spoofing on the desktop. that'll trick your laptop into thinking that your desktop is the router and will send all it's traffic to it
[14:26] <Logan_> !who | Pici
[14:26] <K1rk> Anyone have any idea how to accomplish my Cups question?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2027359
[14:26] <Pici> Logan_: What?
[14:26] <Logan_> Pici: You didn't specify for whom the !who was for. ;P
[14:26] <BluesKaj> Logan_, everyone :)
[14:27] <hristoasenov> dougsko: i am pretty sure the laptop is sending all of its data to the desktop because i run tcpdump on the desktop and i can see the traffic on the incoming interface
[14:27] <yandex23891> !who
[14:27] <dougsko> hristoasenov: otherwise, you might want to put two NICs in your desktop, plug one into your switch and the other directly to your laptop. then just set the desktop up as any other router
[14:28] <sleax> i've created a vpn connection between a server and a client with virtual network interface tun0, i'm able to ping both server and client. So the VPN is estabilished, now what can i do with a VPN connection?

[14:30] <SkippersBoss> hank, one of the reason i went to XFCE :-) All I can find is that you might get something done in compiz manager
[14:30] <SkippersBoss> but i have been wrong before
[14:31] <hank> @SkippersBoss doh! damn screen gotten out of sync… auto sync on the screen fixed it… doh again…  :D
[14:32] <SkippersBoss> aha but a xrandr command on a launcher can help you out here
[14:32] <SkippersBoss> hank, i have a launcher to setup my screens after removing one display
[14:34] <anon_fon> Hi
[14:35] <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.
[14:36] <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] <recon69_lap> Nogal, do you have earphones plugged in, or plugged in when you rebooted?
[14:36] <kanliot> nogal reboot
[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] <Nogal> recon69_lap the only perhiprial I had was a mouse. Kanliot, i've rebooted at least 3 times.
[14:37] <logolas> can any body answer me>????????????????????????
[14:37] <Hyperbyte> logolas, you answered your own question.  File a bug with Mozilla.
[14:37] <Hyperbyte> Ziber, metacity --replace
[14:37] <spolu> hi guys! anyone know if it is possible to give access to /proc/net to a normal user? (to run dstat)

[14:38] <logolas> Hypebyte , what ? my english is not advance can yoy resay it?
[14:38] <tzhuang> Can I get some help for booting 12.04 64-bit?
[14:38] <Ziber> Hyperbyte: Just type that in terminal?
[14:38] <kanliot> nogel try a cold boot
[14:38] <tzhuang> I'm trying to set up a dual-boot alongside win 7
[14:38] <sl3ax> !cloak
[14:38] <Ziber> Hyperbyte: And then, afterward compiz --replace?
[14:38] <Hyperbyte> spolu, create sudo permissions for that user on the specific command.
[14:38] <Pici> sl3ax: read what ubottu said.
[14:38] <Hyperbyte> Ziber, yes.
[14:38] <Ziber> Hyperbyte: I'll try that, thanks.
[14:38] <loganrun> does anyone know what the criteria for when fsck is run on boot?
[14:38] <tzhuang> Everytime I try to boot from CD i get Error: Prefix not set; then it goes to grub
[14:38] <logolas> can any body answer me with easy english?
[14:39] <spolu> Hyperbyte: how can I do that, I tried setuid on dstat but still no luck accessing /proc/net from userland
[14:39] <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] <Ziber> Got an error doing metacity --replace: Window manager warning: from event callback
[14:39] <Hyperbyte> spolu, type 'man sudoers' in a terminal
[14:39] <Nogal> kanliot: what do you mean?
[14:39] <kanliot> nogal turn pc off for 10 seconds so hardware loses all power
[14:39] <kanliot> maybe more for lappy
[14:39] <spolu> Slart: I tried (setuid) but I still can
[14:40] <spolu> Slart: can't access /proc/net as a normal user
[14:40] <Nogal> kanliot: kk, I'll be back in a minute or so.
[14:40] <Slart> spolu: try what hyperbyte said.. configure sudo so the user can use it to run just that command.. it's not that hard
[14:40] <spolu> Hyperbyte: ok but I need to launch dstat from another program and gather output so sudo is not great
[14:40] <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] <Hyperbyte> spolu, why not?
[14:41] <tzhuang> Can I get some help for booting 12.04 64-bit?
[14:41] <tzhuang> Everytime I try to boot from CD i get Error: Prefix not set; then it goes to grub
[14:41] <Hyperbyte> You can gather sudo output as well as any other program's output.
[14:41] <spolu> Hyperbyte: you're right i can sudo from my program I guess. Thanks!
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> spolu, it's not a very clean solution, but if you're writing something for your own system only it should work.
[14:42] <Ziber> Hyperbyte: So, that errored to the point of having to restart. :(]
[14:42] <Ziber> Hyperbyte: So, that errored to the point of having to restart. :(
[14:42] <spolu> Hyperbyte: yep. Just worried about pushing my password. can I pass it as an argument?
[14:42] <tzhuang> Can I get some help for booting 12.04 64-bit?
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> spolu, you can set up sudo as NOPASSWD.
[14:42] <tzhuang> Everytime I try to boot from CD i get Error: Prefix not set; then it goes to grub
[14:42] <Hyperbyte> spolu, read the sudoers manpage.
[14:42] <spolu> Hyperbyte: awesome ! thanks
[14:43] <Ziber> :(
[14:43] <Nogal> Kanliot: no luck :(
[14:43] <Hyperbyte> Ziber, sorry... never done it before, just heard of it.  Google says you need to add an & after the command in a terminal, or else execute it via the 'run' dialog.  Maybe that changes things?
[14:44] <kanliot> nogal does it work outside flash?
[14:44] <Nogal> kanliot no
[14:44] <Ziber> Are you running compiz + unity? Does it work for you on multiple displays?
[14:44] <Combatjuan> Apologies if this is a dumb question, but where is eth0?  I mean, the virtual file?  ifconfig says I have one, but I can't find it in /dev
[14:44] <kanliot> i guess you'll have to go through sound troubleshooting then nogal
[14:44] <kanliot> there a long page on the wiki
[14:45] <Nogal> this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/ ?
[14:46] <Hyperbyte> Combatjuan, what exactly are you trying to do?

[14:47] <ionwind> my pc detected usb but i cant write or delete anything on it... how i fix that?
[14:47] <Combatjuan> Hyperbyte: Find out where /dev/eth0 went.  It used to be in /dev/net I think.
[14:47] <Hyperbyte> Nogal, see how great Ubuntu troubleshooting pages are? :-)
[14:47] <Nogal> lmao, thanks I guess. I'm still giving you credit for fixing it, and I was assuming pulse had a blond moment.

[14:48] <baegle> Having trouble with resolvconf. It seems that it's not respecting domain information provided by the DHCP server. I don't want to add it manually as it's only relevant at work. Google isn't turning anything up. Someone help?
[14:48] <Nogal> Hyperbyte: Yeah, some sweet love-magic.
[14:48] <tubaman> ionwind, what filesystem are you using on your USB drive?
[14:48] <Hyperbyte> Combatjuan, I have no idea to be honest - don't see anything on my 12.04, but I also don't see why you'd need it.
[14:48] <ionwind> video audio etc etc
[14:49] <kanliot> don't some usb sticks have software write protection?
[14:49] <ionwind> i conecte in my laptop also with ubuntu and no problem
[14:49] <ionwind> just the pc
[14:49] <Hyperbyte> baegle, are you using networkmanager?
[14:49] <baegle> yes
[14:49] <tzhuang> Can I get some help for booting 12.04 64-bit?
[14:49] <tubaman> ionwind, is it formatted ext3/4, ntfs, fat32?
[14:49] <tzhuang> Everytime I try to boot from CD i get Error: Prefix not set; then it goes to grub
[14:49] <ionwind> fat32
[14:50] <Nogal> ionwind: is the file over 2gigs?
[14:50] <ionwind> i try to format before in the pc with gparded... no way... them i use the lapton and all cool
[14:50] <Ziber> Anyone who's used compiz + unity, I could use a bit of help getting multiple displays to work...
[14:51] <baegle> Hyperbyte: yes
[14:51] <ionwind> no small files .... ok 130 mg
[14:51] <abhinavmehta> sorry connection lost
[14:51] <ionwind> no 2 gigas

[14:53] <laserbled> Hi, i need help. I am an 12.04 with all new updates and when ever I play flash in mozilla/chrome the cpu usage shoots really high, so I have to end the plugin-container process or chrome process to get the cpu back to normal. I am on a quad core, and have nvidia integrated graphics...can someone tell me whats wrong ?. There is no issues in my 10.10. Any thougs please
[14:54] <abhinavmehta> Nogal: my issue is: I want to test that a string is present in some x-file, if not than only append that string else discard append-activity and do nothing. Not looking multiple line-of-code or script…looking for 1-liner or elegant way to do this.
[14:55] <Pici> abhinavmehta: #bash would be the best place to ask this
[14:55] <abhinavmehta> thank you Pici
[14:55] <Ziber> Anyone with compiz+unity experience?
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> Ziber  here
[14:56] <auronandace> Ziber: unity doesn't work well with multiple screens
[14:56] <Nogal> abhinavmehta: what pici said... I know some python and how to work it to do that, but #bash is your best choice
[14:57] <yandex23891> Unity STILL doesn't support multiple screens well
[14:57] <yandex23891> Bad I know
[14:57] <abhinavmehta> Nogal: ohh, that could be great if you can tell python-way of doing this. Coz I'm executing this shell command via python…so it will be great if I could have some native python way.
[14:57] <Ziber> auronandace: Oh, it's a unity issue, not compiz?
[14:57] <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 wring, I think it has to do with cURL because it works fine when I do it from the windows command line
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> Ziber  unity is gnome3 with compiz
[14:58] <Ziber> MonkeyDust: Well, I had install compiz for desktop cube... A friend thought that might be the reason I was having trouble with the projector earlier.
[14:58] <yandex23891> MonkeyDust: As well as compiz modules only used by Ubuntu, those are the problem
[14:58] <auronandace> Ziber: the cube won't work in unity or gnome3
[14:59] <Ziber> auronandace: I have the cube working on a single display :)
[14:59] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: not wubi
[14:59] <minihydra> how come guest is unable to read ether /media or /mnt ? I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/882862 supposedly there was some bug where guest could do anything under /media, ok maybe its not desiarble, but shouldn't that apply to subdirectories under /media / /mnt ? why in hell wouldnt guest be able to read the contents of those directories, and of course anything inside it?
[14:59] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: im using a boot disc i burned with ubuntu startup creator
[15:00] <Ziber> So, what's the best thing to do when I want to connect to another monitor then?
[15:00] <Ziber> Well, monitor or projector?
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> cube works here, with unity, intel graphics
[15:00] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: i don't htink it's a problem with the disc
[15:01] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: I booted the disc before and had a working ubuntu installation.
[15:01] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: (With ubuntu as the only OS on my machine)
[15:01] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: Now I'm trying a different configuration: i installed win7 first
[15:01] <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?
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> tzhuang  i read here, it could be a EFI or UEFI issue

[15:04] <austin> Hello, I want to setup a name for a machine on the local network to resolve to 192.168.1.n  and the name could be 'promo' for instance such that I type ssh user@promo instead of ssh user@192.168.1.n   How would I do this?  (this problem is hard to google for me...:()
[15:04] <oskude> hi, can anyone tell me where i can find plugin-detect-keyboard.so? im curious on how the "detect keyboard layout by pressing keys" works
[15:04] <oskude> *or rather, in which package it is
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> Linix  start with a question
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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] <Nagataka> sweet =]
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <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] <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?
[15:11] <minihydra> Cow_woC: use synaptic and force version
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> !x| Ziber
[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*
[15:12] <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.
[15:13] <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.
[15:14] <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

[15:15] <minihydra> Cow_woC: if Package->force version ins unavailabe, most likelly older version is not in repositories
[15:15] <motorcity> Hello everyone, I have a problem.
[15:15] <Linix> ...
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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?
[15:18] <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.
[15:19] <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
[15:20] <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.
[15:21] <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?
[15:22] <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 :)
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <nannes> pleaaaaase help me : '(
[15:26] <Ziber> So the resolution is really skrewed up.
[15:26] <wylde> !startup | quazimodo
[15:27] <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] <clemous> Hello, I'm french
[15:27] <Fyodorovna> nannes, it sounds like the HD is booting not the usb, is there a linux OS on the HD?
[15:27] <wylde> !fr | clemous
[15:27] <nannes> Fyodorovna: The point is that: there's no disk! D:
[15:28] <nannes> I unplugged the hdd!
[15:28] <drake01> hi guys, Its an offtopic question.. I couldn't find good place to discuss it. I am a software developer being offered annual salary of 110000 us dollars in usa. I'd have to manage accomodation n other expenses myself. How much is good enough for a couple to sustain a decent life in usa?
[15:28] <Ziber> but, i use that even if i have intel?
[15:28] <DJones> !ot | drake01
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <nannes> ok :(
[15:29] <livingdaylight> is sudo apt-get update the correct command in kubuntu also?
[15:29] <nannes> yes, it's the same for all *ubuntu distros
[15:29] <Nagataka> yes livingdaylight
[15:29] <shaneo> does anyone know where i can find libgnutls26_2.12.18-1_amd64.deb
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> tzhuang  i don't know the exact details on EFI and UEFI, but that's what it sounds like
[15:30] <livingdaylight> nannes | Nagatakathank yous
[15:30] <shaneo> im having issues with transmission connecting to ssl trackers
[15:30] <nannes> !info libgnutils
[15:30] <shaneo> !libgnutls
[15:30] <Nagataka> apt-file search libgnutls26
[15:30] <Fyodorovna> nannes, I use this one for loading my usb's format it with gparted if you have access to it.  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[15:30] <auronandace> !info libgnutls
[15:31] <shaneo> 26
[15:31] <nannes> oooh multiboot. I know it, I'm gonna try
[15:31] <shaneo> 26
[15:31] <Nagataka> !info libgnutls26
[15:31] <shaneo> oops
[15:31] <nannes> lol
[15:31] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: do you know where i could get more info on that D: google hasn't really given me anything useful yet
[15:31] <shaneo> hmm so what about 2.12.18
[15:32] <Glitchd> has anyone ever attempted to run a server from a virtual machine and make it accesible to the outside web?
[15:32] <shaneo> Glitchd yes
[15:32] <bwat47> Ziber: try running lspci in terminal, should list all your hardware devices
[15:32] <shaneo> you need to forward the vm's ip through your router
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> tzhuang  lxer.com collects linux news, perform a search there
[15:32] <Glitchd> shaneo, im trying to run a teamspeak server in an ubuntu 12.
[15:32] <Glitchd> *
[15:32] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: thx a bunch
[15:33] <shaneo> idk what that is but i did it with owncloud
[15:33] <Ziber> In the nvidia control panel, there aren't many/any option...
[15:33] <Ziber> It did say I wasn't using the nvidia drivers though?
[15:33] <Glitchd> ubuntu 12.04 x86 virtualbox installation
[15:33] <Glitchd> **
[15:33] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: when you said efi problem
[15:33] <Glitchd> shaneo, can i pm u??
[15:33] <shaneo> Glitchd i used vmware but the concept is the same
[15:33] <shaneo> yup
[15:33] <tzhuang> MonkeyDust: did you mean that efi the existence of the efi is causing the problem, or the configuration
[15:33] <bwat47> Ziber: open a terminal, run "lspci" and pastebin the output
[15:33] <nannes> drake01: With that salary, you'll be fine! ;)
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> tzhuang  unfortunately, i don't know *exactly* what EFI is or does
[15:34] <Ziber> bwat47: http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/lspci.txt
[15:36] <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] <auronandace> smax: usb keyboard?
[15:36] <Ziber> bwat47: Alright, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* safe?
[15:37] <smax> auronandace: yes usb keyboard
[15:37] <bwat47> you can also try doing it via the additional drivers tool, it should show the driver and let you click deactivate
[15:37] <howdini> %target%
[15:37] <auronandace> smax: tried a ps2 keyboard instead?
[15:37] <Ziber> it says there are no propietary drivers...
[15:38] <Ziber> did the purge, restart?
[15:38] <howdini> BackWeed
[15:38] <howdini> BackWeedJ
[15:38] <bwat47> Ziber: in that case removing it manually should be fine, and yea reboot to restart the xserver (also the additional drivers tool not showing anything also indicates that you probably don't have an nvidia card in there :)
[15:38] <Ziber> alright, brb restarting
[15:39] <bigot1> hello
[15:39] <bigot1> I have a question
[15:39] <bigot1> Can I ask it
[15:39] <bigot1> ?
[15:39] <howdini> BackWeed %target%
[15:39] <Nogal> bigot, you didn't give us a chance.
[15:39] <chu> bigot1: Sure, ask away. (There's no need to ask if you're allowed to ask a question).
[15:39] <k1l> bigot1: just ask
[15:40] <auronandace> bigot1: if it is ubuntu support related yes
[15:40] <Pici> howdini: Can we help you?
[15:40] <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)
[15:41] <bigot1> it suspends successfully but won't load afterwards
[15:41] <bigot1> no cursor just black screen
[15:41] <bwat47> bigot1: you can try this, I had to do this for my asus laptop to get suspend to work: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug
[15:42] <Ziber> Resolution is still fucked.
[15:42] <IdleOne> Ziber: please no cursing.
[15:42] <auronandace> Ziber: don't swear
[15:42] <howdini> New to bots, just testing out a response from one.
[15:42] <Ziber> Sorry. Just pissed.
[15:42] <bigot1> I did this, still not working
[15:42] <Pici> howdini: Please do not test your bot in this channel.
[15:42] <bwat47> Ziber: what's the output of glxinfo | grep direct
[15:42] <bigot1> idk
[15:42] <howdini> Ok. Sorry
[15:42] <bigot1> should I check
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> howdini  there's also the channel #test
[15:43] <Ziber> what's the package for glxinfo? says not installed
[15:43] <howdini> Let me try that one.
[15:43] <bwat47> Ziber: I believe the package is either mesa-demos or meda-utils
[15:43] <bwat47> *mesa-utils
[15:43] <Nagataka> mesa-utils
[15:43] <bwat47> yeah mesa-dems is arch :)
[15:43] <MetalGodWin> mesa-utils
[15:44] <Ziber> "direct rendering: yes"
[15:44] <bwat47> hmm, it seems to be using the intel driver then. And if you go to system preferences > details > graphics does it show the intel driver in use?
[15:45] <bigot1> hello, I am still here, anyone help?
[15:45] <MetalGodWin> blgot1: what do you need help with?
[15:45] <bigot1> suspend regime
[15:45] <bigot1> not loading after suspend
[15:45] <Ziber> driver is intel sandybridge mobile.
[15:46] <bigot1> the computer switches on but shows black screen
[15:46] <Nagataka> oog good luck with that videocard Ziber xD
[15:46] <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
[15:47] <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?
[15:48] <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... :(
[15:49] <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?
[15:50] <Ziber> due to resolution crap, i can click the "detect displays" button in the displays menu in settings.
[15:50] <Ziber> heh.
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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
[15:53] <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"
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <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
[15:57] <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] <BlackAngelPR> Greetings, i am trying to get rid of windows finally so whats the best way to do it?  just delete the windows partiton in gparted?  and what partition format should i give to the free space?
[15:57] <bigot1> the X51R Asus suspend error
[15:58] <TheM4ch1n3> BlackAngelPR: can I privmsg ?
[15:58] <BlackAngelPR> sure
[15:58] <karthick87> bekks: On executing bash script, i am getting this error "passwd: unrecognized option '--stdin'" How to fix it ??
[15:58] <Fyodorovna> BlackAngelPR, you are not ubuntu installed from windows right?
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> BlackAngelPR  the installer will ask to format, use ext4
[15:58] <tomi> witam
[15:58] <tomi> jest ktoś kto po polsku rozmawia?
[15:58] <bekks> BlackAngelPR: Just delete the windows partition, create a new partition, type "Linux" or "83".

[16:00] <heligoland> hi. just installed 12.04 LTS on my brand new PC and my wifi adapter isn't being picked up
[16:00] <heligoland> need help getting wifi on my computer, badly.
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> heligoland  type !wifi for basic instructions
[16:00] <heligoland> !wifi
[16:01] <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?
[16:02] <bekks> heligoland: which wifi chipset?
[16:02] <MetalGodWin> Who were the dude who had suspend-problem?
[16:02] <bekks> heligoland: sudo lsusb will show it to you
[16:02] <bigot1> I am here
[16:02] <heligoland> bwat47, BELKIN WIRELESS G NETWORK ADAPTER 54mbps
[16:03] <totic> What is the path to the ubuntu desktop? I am running a headless ubuntu and a program is trying to create a file on it, so I have to "fake a desktop"
[16:03] <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] <heligoland> bwat47, belkin wireless g network adapter f5d7050
[16:03] <totic> ikonia: thanks!
[16:04] <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.
[16:05] <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?
[16:06] <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] <heligoland> bekks, but give me a sec i'll try to remember what it's outputting
[16:07] <ksbalaji> My ff crashes on Ubuntu lucid with error: blah....blah  OpenGL: Tungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2 -- 1.4 Mesa 7.11-devel -- texture_from_pixmap blah....blah help

[16:08] <heligoland> bekks, let me then find a usb, hold on man
[16:08] <bwat47> heligoland: can you like paste the output into a file, pop it on a usb drive and put it on the online computer to pastebin?
[16:08] <karthick87> bekks: On executing bash script, i am getting this error "passwd: unrecognized option '--stdin'" How to fix it ??
[16:09] <bekks> karthick87: By not using --stdin since it isnt a valid option for your "passwd".
[16:10] <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.
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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.
[16:13] <bekks> karthick87: echo "newpass" | chpasswd        as an example.
[16:14] <ksbalaji>  My firefox crashes on Ubuntu lucid with error: blah....blah  OpenGL: Tungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2 -- 1.4 Mesa 7.11-devel -- texture_from_pixmap blah....blah hel

[16:15] <bekks> heligoland: Looks like a broken USB device to me.
[16:15] <karthick87> bekks: This is the command i am using "for name in tester; do useradd $name; echo 'password' | chpasswd $name; done"
[16:15] <heligoland> bekks, it's been working for 5 years
[16:15] <nnamdi_> Fyodorovna: i know that very well aleast ubuntu is linux i have an issue whether ubuntu or fedora it is still the same kernel, same gnome or kde
[16:15] <bekks> heligoland: Which oesnt mean it cant break.
[16:15] <karthick87> bekks: Thats not working ^  ^
[16:15] <heligoland> bekks, tried it before on this machine, works
[16:16] <totic> is there a way to launch a .desktop file from the command line?
[16:16] <SocialEvil> is there a program for ubuntu that can delete pdf pages and merge 2 pdf documents? i know pdftk for combining but for deleting pages from pdf?

[16:17] <SocialEvil> sipior, thanks ill go read the man than :)
[16:17] <NorthShore> New here, and have a newbie question
[16:18] <glitsj16> totic: use 'xdg-open /path/to/xxx.desktop'
[16:18] <bekks> karthick87: Then take a look at the man page of chpasswd. It will tell you how to automate it.
[16:18] <nnamdi_> how do i distribute satellite tv stations to about 70 rooms via IP i.e IPTV
[16:19] <totic> glitsj16: in what package can I get xgd-open ?
[16:20] <glitsj16> totic: that should be in xdg-utils .. perhaps gnome-open works as well if you're using gnome
[16:21] <NorthShore> I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I partitianed the hdd ito 2 drives. I want to use c:/ for programs, and the other for data files. How can I do this?
[16:22] <bekks> NorthShore: There is no c:/ in non-Windows.
[16:22] <NorthShore> Understood
[16:24] <glitsj16> totic: there's more than one way to find where a command resides, i put "alias whichpkg='sudo dpkg -S $1'" in ~/.bashrc (without the double quotes) so it's as easy as whichpkg <command-name>
[16:25] <NorthShore> bekks: How do I tell the system that I want all my data to be stores on the 2nd partition?
[16:26] <bigot1> metal
[16:26] <bigot1> here is the pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/L6P6Thau
[16:26] <bwat47> NorthShore: you put your /home on a seperate partition. Have you installed ubuntu yet? Or are you trying to convert an existing install to do this

[16:26] <mobhero> hi, how to check Hardware Raid 1 configuration working fine or  not in ubuntu 10.04, pls help me.
[16:27] <bekks> mobhero: By either running the raid controller utility from the vendor of your controller or by taking a look at the BIOS of the controller.
[16:28] <greasegum> do I just copy the whole subdirectory to usr/bin/?
[16:28] <bekks> greasegum: No. To ~/bin/

[16:37] <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] <bigot1> did you see it
[16:37] <bigot1> I wrote you on pm
[16:38] <MetalGodWin> oh i just saw the link, checking it now
[16:39] <fish47> Hi everyone, how can I know what my Fn shortcuts of my laptop do in the background? Thanks a lot.
[16:39] <greasegum> bekks:: anything else I should do to configure that dir?
[16:40] <bekks> greasegum: You could add that directory to your $PATH variable.
[16:43] <glitsj16> bekks: greasegum: doesn't ~/.profile take care of adding the ~/bin to PATH if it exists? just asking, been a while since i saw a default ~/.profile..
[16:44] <bekks> glitsj16: Thats depends on the users modification to that file.
[16:45] <niddersfied> Hello everyone, When I start up xubuntu my monitor tells me to change my input to 1366x768@60hz, How do I fix this?
[16:45] <glitsj16> bekks: thanks, adding it to my notes (which are in need of cleaning)
[16:49] <arno_> Hi, I'd like to change screen refresh rate. So, I've a script which calls xrandr with correct parameters. But I wonder where at startup I should run it ?
[16:52] <kevinlu310> Need help! I just installed nvidia-current. After I restarted my laptop. the screen resolution was set to 640x480. All other options were gone. I couldn't change the screen back now.
[16:54] <ReXiO> you can try to purge the driver to go back to where you were
[16:54] <ReXiO> @kevinlu310
[16:55] <kevinlu310> ReXio: I'll try. Thanks.
[16:59] <DaSpawn> Is it possible to force initramfs to load all crypto modules?
[17:00] <A_J> I need to update my ubuntu. on 9.10 now . sudo apt-get update did not work
[17:00] <eee444> hi, could someone hwlp me get my dwl650 to work with aircrack?
[17:00] <DaSpawn> I have a problem where update-initramfs can not load the encryption type so does not load anything and I can not bood because root partition not found, any ideas would be appreciated
[17:00] <xangua> !eol | A_J
[17:00] <ikonia> eee444: what version of ubuntu are you using
[17:00] <A_J> greets xangua
[17:00] <eee444> 12.04
[17:01] <ikonia> eee444: oh, I was confused as you where also cross-posting this in #ubuntu+1
[17:01] <DaSpawn> how can I join #ubuntu-support?
[17:01] <ikonia> which suggests you are running 12.10
[17:01] <eee444> ok
[17:01] <A_J> what is the command to see the version i am on xangua ?
[17:01] <ikonia> DaSpawn: there is no channel. #ubuntu is the support channel
[17:01] <greasegum> bekks:: awesome glitsj16:: I will check the config, thanks
[17:01] <niddersfied> Hello everyone, When I start my computer on xubuntu 12.04 I get a message saying please change your resolution to 1366x768@60 hz. It will say this until I get to the log-in screen. When I go to the nvidia options it doesn't even have a option for 1366x768 at all...How do I fix this?
[17:01] <eee444> ok, maybe i updatede without knowing
[17:01] <j_ayen_green> Lunch time crowd...I'll try again :)  If I remove the pinning entries I have for php 5.2 and do an apt-get upgrade, is that all I need to do to upgrade to php 5.3? This is on 10.04.
[17:01] <kevinlu310> ReXio: I removed nvidia-current, rebooted. But now the screen is still stuck at 640x480. I couldn't change it back.
[17:02] <DaSpawn> anyone here have any experience with initramfs?
[17:02] <A_J> yup 9.10
[17:02] <dagroves> .
[17:02] <Muelli> !anyone | DaSpawn
[17:03] <DaSpawn> I already asked question twice I get no responses at all
[17:03] <DaSpawn> the latest update have killed my boot
[17:03] <niddersfied> I'm waiting for an answer as well.
[17:03] <DaSpawn> initramfs were not generated properly and I still can not generate from live CD
[17:04] <Muelli> DaSpawn: how do you know that you cannot generate proper initramfs'?
[17:04] <kevinlu310> My screen is stuck at low resolution for some reason now. All options for other higher resolution were gone. Anybody have any clue about how to fix it? Thanks a lot!
[17:05] <DaSpawn> I get weird errors:
[17:05] <DaSpawn> dev-mapper: table ioctl failed: no such device or address
[17:05] <DaSpawn> cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to determine cipher modules to load for md1p1_crypt
[17:05] <dagroves> kevinlu310: have you tried to install restricted drivers?
[17:05] <DaSpawn> boot drops to busybox and can not mount primary partition
[17:05] <glitsj16> niddersfied: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen has a few fixes you can try
[17:05] <Muelli> DaSpawn: sounds like you haven't set up your chroot properly. Mount /dev, /proc and /sys into the chroot.
[17:05] <DaSpawn> I DO have the partition mounted now and chrooted to attempt update-grub
[17:05] <DaSpawn> I used the default encryption also
[17:05] <A_J> trying to upgrade 9.10 to 10.04 i tried this command aptitude update
[17:05] <A_J> bash: aptitude: command not found
[17:06] <kevinlu310> dagroves: I just tried to install nvidia-current.
[17:06] <niddersfied> glitsj16: Thanks, I shall give it a try.
[17:06] <yannick> what?
[17:06] <dagroves> kevinlu310: Are there any other drivers listed there?
[17:06] <Muelli> A_J: that's not how it works. Use do_release_upgrade or so.
[17:06] <bekks> A_J: Use apt-get
[17:06] <DaSpawn> I mounted all 3 of those also, tried 2 different ways:
[17:06] <DaSpawn> mount -o bind /dev /media/xxxxx/dev
[17:07] <yannick> me?
[17:07] <DaSpawn> all 3 of those are mounted and are visible properly
[17:07] <kevinlu310> dagroves: how to check drivers installed?
[17:07] <bazhang> A_J, did you adjust your repos to old-releases?
[17:07] <bazhang> yannick, no
[17:07] <A_J> bekks and Muelli using this : aptitude update
[17:07] <A_J> bash: aptitude: command not found
[17:07] <A_J> err
[17:07] <yannick> ok
[17:07] <A_J> www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-to-10.04-lucid-lynx-desktop-and-server**
[17:07] <glitsj16> niddersfied: the link mentions http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html which is confirmed to still work very well on ubuntu 12.04 + nvidia
[17:07] <FloodBot1> A_J: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:07] <A_J> no i did not bazhang/
[17:07] <bazhang> A_J, read the eolupgrades link then
[17:08] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | A_J
[17:08] <A_J> bazhang says nothing about anything more than 9.10 > 10.04
[17:08] <DaSpawn> any other reasons for dev-mapper: table ioctl failed: no such device or address?
[17:08] <niddersfied> glitsj16: Thanks I'm doing the steps right now. I can't do fullscreen anything without it crying at me :3 so I hope this works. I've been looking for a while but just didn't know really what to search for.
[17:08] <Muelli> DaSpawn: might be missing drivers.
[17:08] <Muelli> i.e. modules
[17:08] <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?
[17:09] <jjvv> boa tard
[17:09] <DaSpawn> I set modules=most in initramfs cfg no difference
[17:09] <IdleOne> !br | jjvv
[17:09] <Muelli> DaSpawn: well, babysteps. what caused the fuckup anyway? You mentioned a not properly installed kernel..?
[17:10] <ikonia> Muelli: easy with the language please.
[17:10] <glitsj16> niddersfied: yes that's the hardest sometimes when looking for solutions, you already need to know terminology etc.. i use the fix myself on a few machines, hope you get it sorted this time
[17:10] <jjvv> algum utilizador zoneminder com DC60 0002 "easycap" com 4 inputs ?
[17:10] <bazhang> Muelli, no cursing here
[17:10] <IdleOne> jjvv: faca /join #ubuntu-br
[17:10] <Muelli> O_o that's no curse...
[17:10] <decci> Anyone who know how can I setup Multitenancy on Virtual Desktop software
[17:11] <DaSpawn> I initiall had a key device in crypttab, but that device no longer existed, I removed the key and attempted rebuild of initramfs
[17:11] <freakolowsky> lo ... a quickie :D how do i recreate all rc*.d links ... i'm using sysv-rc-conf, but it's not removing the links?
[17:11] <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.
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <glitsj16> niddersfied: could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub please? that's quite weird
[17:13] <decci> May I know quick way of setting up LDAP
[17:14] <DaSpawn> so after the hung boots I decided to rebuild initramfs
[17:15] <kevinlu310> dagroves: I think my problem is very similar to this one http://askubuntu.com/questions/136079/nvidia-graphics-resolution-problem. Now I uninstalled nvidia-current. The screen is still stuck at low resolution. I just want to restore it to normal resolution now. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot.
[17:15] <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] <coon> can someone help me with a minor problem i have
[17:16] <jita> Is there the password of user without knowing the previous password ?
[17:16] <dagroves> gltisj16: he walked away, lol he is sitting next to me and we are trying to figure out this problem
[17:16] <niddersfied> glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095206/
[17:16] <glitsj16> dagroves: heh, no worries .. never rush into things when changing grub
[17:16] <niddersfied> now its there
[17:16] <niddersfied> =-\
[17:17] <Twiddler> Hello everyone.
[17:17] <Muelli> jita: you want to change a user's password w/o having it? you might need to boot a live cd and change it from there.
[17:17] <jita> Muelli, its on the server
[17:18] <glitsj16> niddersfied: ok looks good, are you using the script fix or one of the other options on the page i gave earlier? so we can be on the same page
[17:19] <Muelli> jita: well. if you don't have root access, you're doomed.
[17:19] <niddersfied> glitsj16: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[17:19] <jita> Muelli, i have sudo access
[17:19] <Muelli> jita: well. there you go. sudo passwd $theuser will update the password for you
[17:20] <jita> Muelli, thanks a lot
[17:21] <glitsj16> niddersfied: answers 1 & 3 (refering to a script) are basically the same, i always use the script but that's up to you
[17:21] <coon> can someone help me with a minor problem i have
[17:22] <ThinkT510> coon: we can but only try
[17:22] <coon> lol thx
[17:22] <niddersfied> glitsj16: Okay I did 1, I did the stuff in the terminal now I'm going to restart and see if it fixed it :3 if not ill be back ^^
[17:22] <glitsj16> niddersfied: good luck
[17:23] <coon> when i open my other filesystem it always opens with movie player and i get this error until i close out everything then open
[17:23] <coon> how can i stop it from opening from movie player
[17:24] <ThinkT510> coon: what do you mean by open your other filesystem?
[17:24] <coon> i have windows on another hd and when im in ubuntu and try to open that hd it opens in movie player
[17:25] <ThinkT510> coon: open as in try to navigate there with the file manager?
[17:25] <coon> and i get "an error occurred" i have to close out everything in the player and close out movie player before i can ope other drive
[17:25] <DaSpawn>  Muelli: still ther>?
[17:26] <Muelli> DaSpawn: yes
[17:26] <coon> well i go to places and i see the other drive and i click on it
[17:26] <Twiddler> I want to grab raw RGB data from /dev/video0 to a frame grabbing program.
[17:26] <nannes> !ping
[17:26] <Twiddler> What program do you recommend?
[17:26] <DaSpawn> you asked how did I do it, what are you refering to?
[17:27] <dagroves> glitsj16: niddersfied said it did not work now his monitor is stuck on the screen telling him "The current input timing is not supported by the monitor display. 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.
[17:28] <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.
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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"
[17:31] <Muelli> DaSpawn: *where* does this error appear? I.e. during creation of the ramdisk?
[17:31] <DaSpawn> after calling hook copcache
[17:31] <coon> that solved my problem thanks alot it was annoying lol
[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"
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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] <DaSpawn> unfortunately it is IPMI console, so can not paste
[17:33] <DaSpawn> but first line is:
[17:34] <DaSpawn> /dev/mapper/md1p1_crypt on / type ext4
[17:34] <glitsj16> dagroves: let him boot that .. we'll try to fix things from there
[17:34] <DaSpawn> (that is while still in chroot)
[17:34] <drennen>     is there a shortcut for move or minimize window?
[17:34] <dagroves> glitsj16: okay he is booting into it
[17:35] <DaSpawn> do you need more of the mount command output?
[17:35] <muellisoft> DaSpawn: sorry, connection reset. Where's the link to pastebin?
[17:36] <jacta> I'm trying to install skype-wrapper ppa - it just says 404 - any clue about that?
[17:36] <jacta> used this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype-wrapper
[17:36] <Pitel> how can I set my IM statuis to online after boot? It's annoying to change it every time. :/
[17:36] <glitsj16> dagroves: to make changes to his machine he'll have to chroot, do you know how to do that?
[17:36] <ThinkT510> jacta: contact the ppa maintainer and find out
[17:37] <bwat47> Pitel: using empathy? I had that issue too, no idea how to make it work right, seems to be a bug. I recommend using pidgin instead personally :)
[17:37] <DaSpawn> 1 sec
[17:37] <muellisoft> jacta: well. can you pastebin the actual error?
[17:37] <Pitel> bwat47: yup, empathy. I event didn't find any checkbox or something.
[17:37] <dagroves> glitsj16: I have no idea how to do that
[17:38] <DaSpawn> pastebin.com/jjBbzTPH
[17:38] <jacta> muellisoft, sure :)
[17:39] <muellisoft> DaSpawn: eh. But that's from inside the chroot, isn't it?
[17:39] <DaSpawn> yes, want outside?
[17:39] <glitsj16> dagroves: let me find a link, i'll guide you along but it's easier for you both if you have some clue of what we're attempting, hang on
[17:39] <dagroves> glitsj16: haha okay
[17:39] <jacta> Muelli, http://pastebin.com/N089qMp3
[17:40] <Jordan_U> glitsj16: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot is pretty good.
[17:40] <DaSpawn> pastebin.com/RDGTsjKQ
[17:40] <Muelli> jacta: seems like the PPA doesn't have anything for your ubuntu version :\ I'd contact the maintainer
[17:41] <jacta> I think ill starting all over with clean 12.04 instead or 12.10 daily builds
[17:41] <Muelli> DaSpawn: hm. looks good. can you pastebin us the output of initramfs-update -u then?
[17:42] <yannick> ?
[17:42] <glitsj16> Jordan_U: dagroves: thanks :)
[17:43] <glitsj16> dagroves: don't rush, perhaps take a read through that link Jordan_U provided and let us know when he's in the chroot
[17:43] <dagroves> glitsj16: Well after seeing that page, and all of the trouble he has been through with Linux already, he said he is going to go back to Windows, and he is going to go to our local computer store and buy the Ubuntu Bible I think it is called and study and get to know what he is doing before he jumps into this blind again.
[17:43] <dagroves> glitsj16: He said thank you for your help though. He really appreciates it!
[17:44] <DaSpawn> (doing now)
[17:44] <glitsj16> dagroves: blind is indeed a hard way to get to know your system
[17:45] <DaSpawn> pastebin.com/sJrNL0D9
[17:46] <Muelli> well DaSpawn. that looks all good, no/
[17:46] <drennen> I am having an issue with steam where it wants all the attention =/ The windows will stay in the foreground.
[17:47] <Muelli> ah, except cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to determine cipher modules to load for md1p1_crypt
[17:47] <cyanboy> Hi, I am having some trouble with my macbook pro and the keyboard layout
[17:47] <DaSpawn> the warning is missing, but appears in the paste data for some reason
[17:47] <DaSpawn> let me repaste
[17:47] <cyanboy> I cannot seem to be able to write brackets or braces
[17:49] <DaSpawn> pastebin.com/4MwCNWWi line 372
[17:49] <glitsj16> Jordan_U: appreciate the help, i noticed that a lot of the chroot links out there still add copying /etc/resolvconf to the chroot .. if someone needs help here again that involves chrooting, can i safely leave that out of the picture?
[17:49] <drd2> I wanted to get information about the major and minor numbers of a device node.
[17:49] <species> i cant find details on when 10.04 LTS is expiring
[17:49] <DaSpawn> I am using live cd 10.04.4, would I have better luck with 12.04?
[17:49] <species> i saw a chart somewhere, once
[17:50] <A_J> oh god this vim is unusable.
[17:50] <A_J> L/
[17:50] <A_J> :/
[17:50] <Muelli> DaSpawn: shouldn't matter as this is your "real" system anyway.
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> species  the chart is called wikipedia
[17:50] <species> that really seems like the wrong place for it
[17:50]  * A_J weeps
[17:50] <DaSpawn> that was my thought, but the encryption failes once getting to busybox
[17:50] <Jordan_U> glitsj16: If they need internet access within the chroot, then you need to copy /etc/resolv.conf. If not, you don't.
[17:51] <Muelli> DaSpawn: hm. interesting. Can you, just for the fun, rename /etc/initramfs.conf.d (or whatever it's called) and try again to cretae the initramfs?
[17:51] <DaSpawn> I figured if I was able to enter my encryption passphrase then it must have the driver, are there different levels while loading?
[17:51] <DaSpawn> 1 min
[17:51] <Muelli> DaSpawn: and also for the record do smth like sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda2  | grep Cipher
[17:51] <DaSpawn> only initramfs-tools, that one?
[17:52] <Muelli> yeah
[17:53] <glitsj16> Jordan_U: thanks again, the dns changes in 12.04 made me wonder, sometimes etc/resolv.conf is a link in that context, will try to experiment later on
[17:53] <raidghost> What modules am i suppose to use for r8169                  62099  0
[17:53] <raidghost> e100                   37213  0
[17:53] <raidghost> Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet
[17:54] <DaSpawn> hmmm, for some reason /dev/mapper/md1p1_crypt does not exist now
[17:54] <DaSpawn> but still mounted
[17:55] <DaSpawn> but it does exist as /dev/mapper/udisks-liks..... , what busybox is looking for when it drops to shell
[17:55] <tcstar> Anyone now how I can get guake terminal to 'start' on boot/login so I don't have to constantly run it manually??
[17:55] <ReXiO> Hi. This is my Desktop and Monitor configuration right now: http://imgur.com/HUy4J
[17:55] <ReXiO> Can anyone recommend me  some utils to get it cool?
[17:56] <Skrillex123> CAN ANY1  HELP ME??? My mic isint working and i tried EVERYTHING
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> Skrillex123  type alsamier in a terminal
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> alsamixer*
[17:56] <DaSpawn> after renaming folder, I immediately get cannot open /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
[17:57] <nidders> glitsj16: Hey here it's me. Im on xubuntu live /= ive had a lot of issues with linux and ive barely used it which means i guess im just a windows person. I might get a book or something to teach me how to use linux.
[17:57] <heckoo> Hi.  Fresh install of Ubuntu(64 bit).  How can I take the updates(/var/cache/apt/archives) and import them to another build I am doing tonight?  I don't want to download all the updates twice if I can avoid it.  Thanks.
[17:57] <bazhang> !aptoncd | heckoo
[17:58] <Hetep> now, if only they would make the program windows capable of being minimized
[17:58] <Phoenix87> hallo
[17:58] <heckoo> bazhang, thanks!
[17:58] <glitsj16> nidders: yes dagroves mentioned something about a bible lol
[17:58] <raidghost> !rules
[17:58] <nidders> glitsj16: Hah yeah might be a fedora one though >_>; It's pretty O_O
[17:59] <DaSpawn> I am booting off 12.04 disk now, going to try that
[17:59] <Muelli> DaSpawn: eh, yeah, so maybe apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools to get the config back
[17:59] <Muelli> sorry for that
[17:59] <glitsj16> nidders: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ has a nice ubuntu manual you can download
[18:00] <DaSpawn> I only renamed, so put back where it was
[18:00] <glitsj16> nidders: should be great for xubuntu as well
[18:00] <DaSpawn> I will also try reinstalling if 12.04 disk fails also
[18:00] <DaSpawn> I think I know what this is
[18:01] <DaSpawn> update-initramfs is looking for /dev/mapper/md1p1_crypt, but once I mount it that is removed and replaced with /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-xxxxx, and because of that initramfs can not find the device specified in /etc/crypttab (/dev/mapper/md1p1_crypt)
[18:02] <DaSpawn> any way to prevent removal of that device after mount?
[18:02] <DaSpawn> or any way to force initramfs to use other device name?
[18:03] <j_ayen_green> one more try before my day ends :)  is there anything more to updgrading a pinned version to the current one than simply removing the apt-get pinning references and apt-get upgrading?
[18:03] <bazhang> j_ayen_green, regular package? or ppa
[18:03] <Phoenix87> is there a irc chat client that allows for plugins/extensions to insert arbitrary inline images?
[18:03] <Motafoca> guys, i have a ubuntu box that when i insert a compact flash in the reader its mounted with root groud and id, then i cant write on it as user, how can i change this behavior
[18:04] <j_ayen_green> bazhang: regular, I think. unpinning php on lucid from karmic
[18:04] <bazhang> Phoenix87, inline images to the channel? or let you mouse over and see http links
[18:04] <ThinkT510> j_ayen_green: don't mix releases packages
[18:04] <bazhang> j_ayen_green, just unpinning, but using mixed versions is not a good move
[18:05] <mrmcgibby> how many of you are using LVM?
[18:05] <bazhang> mrmcgibby, whats the real question
[18:05] <mrmcgibby> I'm just curious how popular the LVM solution is
[18:05] <j_ayen_green> bazhang: maybe I typed the answer wrong. I have had php pinned to 5.2 on lucid, which had meant pointing it to the karmic distro,and now want to let it upgrade to 5.3.
[18:06] <bazhang> mrmcgibby, thats really a poll question
[18:06] <mala> hello, i'm doing the update but i thinks that somethings wrong happens, the bar ins't moving more, what i do now?
[18:06] <bazhang> mrmcgibby, not a support question at all
[18:06] <mrmcgibby> ok, where is the right place to ask that then?
[18:06] <bazhang> mala, for how long
[18:06] <j_ayen_green> still can be read 2 ways. I've been running 5.2 on lucid and now want to run 5.3
[18:06] <j_ayen_green> much better
[18:07] <bazhang> j_ayen_green, just unpinning I would imagine. for a ppa, it's ppa-purge
[18:07] <mala> bazhang: 10 minutes, but i already download all thinks
[18:07] <bazhang> mala, then its configuring, you dont want to interrupt it at this point
[18:08] <chris-> I have question regarding "ubu software center" , lemme know when I can ask,tx
[18:08] <mala> bazhang: yes, but what i do now?
[18:08] <bazhang> chris-, just ask the channel
[18:08] <Phoenix87> bazhang: a plugin that reads the last line in the channel and perform, if necessary, some operation on it, replacing part of the text with an appropriate image
[18:08] <chris-> ok tx
[18:08] <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 of earth have posted ?
[18:09] <bazhang> mala, let it finish, or time out (though I doubt it's stuck)
[18:09] <j_ayen_green> bazhang: cool, thanks. i had been running 5.2 for drupal 6, but it works well with php 5.3 now. I wanted to add apc, and I can't because karmic is gone, and so is the 5.2 file I needed ;)
[18:09] <chris-> By the way I did full updates allready to
[18:09] <chris-> and still no ratings
[18:09] <bazhang> Phoenix87, and posts it to the channel? or what
[18:09] <wN> mrmcgibby: i do
[18:10] <Phoenix87> bazhang: it's not a post in the sense of transmitting the image to the irc server, but rather displaying it on the channel window
[18:11] <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
[18:13] <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?
[18:14] <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] <k1l> snyp: most stuff is stored in the home folder
[18:15] <snyp> including all the software?
[18:15] <DaSpawn> any other ideas Muelli?
[18:15] <DaSpawn> 12.04 same result
[18:15] <snyp> doesn't apt-get install everything in var folder?
[18:15] <Phoenix87> bazhang: I'd like to develop a LaTeX plugin for irc and I'm looking for a irc client with extensions/plugins support. Both XChat and kVIRC seem to be very limited
[18:16] <ThinkT510> !fhs | snyp
[18:17] <snyp> ok.
[18:17] <mala> bazhang: help here
[18:17] <mala> bazhang: more 10 minutes and nothing -.-
[18:17] <vaness> j #domogik
[18:18] <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] <bazhang> mala, if it's configuring you really dont want to interrupt it at this point
[18:18] <mala> bazhang: but it stopped , what i do now? he dont to anything more
[18:20] <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 ?
[18:21] <bwat47> chris: afiak 10.04 has an older version of the software center that doesn't have that feature
[18:22] <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 ?
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <delac> sarsaeol_: thanks, going to check
[18:25] <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.
[18:28] <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
[18:29] <irv> if i start it manually, it works
[18:29] <qmr> is unity dodgy as hell placing new windows for anyone else?
[18:30] <bwat47> qmr: yes it does seem a bit weird
[18:30] <bwat47> qmr: it often opens them "unfocused" too
[18:31] <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..
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:35] <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?
[18:36] <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
[18:37] <cyborg> hey how to set shortcut for konsole
[18:37] <cyborg> ?
[18:37] <cyborg> or is there any channel for kde related topics
[18:38] <jacta> cyborg, maybe in #kde
[18:39] <Oli__> How do I add a monitor to my xorg.conf to use in mirror mode?
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <Oli__> What's your issue? I may have the same problem
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <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"
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <shamt> are there any Emacs hacker ? I need to add a mode to my Emacs? Any Idea?
[18:51] <jeruleus> btw Oli__ , I'm assuming you've seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/4358/how-do-i-fix-overscan-on-my-hdmi-hdtv, yes?
[18:55] <Oli__> Yeah, I ttried the proprietary driver but there was no overscan option, and there is nothing on the tv, it says it simply doesnt support pc via dvi in the manual, so im trying to get vga working

[18:58] <ntatschner>  live CD
[18:59] <ionwind> hello
[18:59] <delac> it seems that if I change user (with user switcher or ctrl-alt-F*), all gnome players (e.g. Totem) pause. How to make them keep going?
[19:00] <Guest54748> HELLO
[19:00] <ionwind> i cant see my usb pendrive into my pc but i can in the laptop both with ubuntu 12.4
[19:00] <ionwind> whats wrong??
[19:00] <aetoxx> When I run firefox -ProfileManager, I don't get the Profile Manager window. Anyone with an idea as to why?
[19:00] <ntatschner> i'm currently in the 12.04 live CD and the installer is not seeing my windows installation but os-probe finds it, when I try "other method" for fomatting the drive it says the drive is empty! quite weired
[19:01] <Vilsepi> ntatschner: which windows, and what's your disk setup?
[19:01] <ntatschner> Windows 7, what do you mean by set up?
[19:02] <Guest54748> use Hirens boot when you want to format Linux
[19:02] <Vilsepi> ntatschner: like do you have many drives and partitions, do you have RAID etc
[19:02] <andrewh192> hey, was wondering if anyone knew why, if i login to the guest account i can't seem to access chromium....
[19:02] <Oli__> Okay I've got it working with VGA but it's green. I tried a different VGA cable but it doesn't work at all
[19:02] <_florian_> hi
[19:02] <andrewh192> hey _florian_
[19:02] <_florian_> i have a question about cloud-init
[19:03] <ntatschner>  ahh i see, the drive just has Windows on it, I have 2 500GB SATA Drives
[19:03] <_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?
[19:04] <Moogs> what are some cool things i can do with ubuntu
[19:04] <Moogs> i just installed it and am ready to explore
[19:04] <Moogs> but ws wondering what is somethign good to do:)
[19:04] <andrewh192> i installed it through my main admin account.

[19:06] <huudis> they have nice list of best apps for linux
[19:06] <huudis> :)
[19:06] <Moogs> what is that
[19:06] <jeruleus> Thanks, Oli__, I'll try that next chance I get
[19:07] <ntatschner> Vilsepi, did you see my last reply?
[19:07] <huudis> can i paste links here?

[19:09] <huudis> well sure
[19:11] <huudis> Moogs, http://www.linuxgames.com/
[19:11] <Moogs> what are desktop environments?
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <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
[19:14] <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] <Moogs> yeah i got xfce on my netbook

[19:17] <Mike9863> bwat47: 12.04
[19:17] <saba_> ubuntu 12.04
[19:17] <bwat47> Mike9863: known bug with the gnome classic compiz session, I thought this was supposed tog et fixed for 12.04 final but apparently not. however this modified ambiance theme should fix it: http://www.fandigital.com/2012/04/zonmodambiance-fixing-ambiance-default.html
[19:18] <huudis> Moogs, I'm kinda new with linx desktop too, I have used mostly debian for server management.
[19:18] <Moogs> huudis thanks

[19:19] <CDrone> I have a lot of problems trying to install a simulation package on ubuntu, could anyone help me?
[19:19] <huudis> Moogs, you should test Midori web-browser, it has nice private browsing!
[19:19] <CDrone> or at least compile it and lend me the binaries?
[19:20] <Moogs> huudis is it better than firefox?
[19:20] <Moogs> :O
[19:20] <huudis> No
[19:20] <huudis> but it's light and faster
[19:20] <huudis> doesn't have flash
[19:20] <huudis> or did it
[19:20] <huudis> not sure
[19:21] <huudis> i'm not on my own comp, using live cd
[19:22] <saba_> ubuntu-manual do not provide enough doc for command
[19:22] <bwat47> huudis: i'm fairly sure midori works with flash.

[19:27] <Anticom> hi all
[19:27] <CDrone> wlad_ I learned a lot from that book, although haven't finished it yet, but it is very interesting and dummy-friendly
[19:28] <Anticom> i've downloaded and installed ubuntu 12.04 on my mates laptop because he doesn't understand anything about PC's... now my problem is, that although i've changed all possible settings to german language, some menues still are in english
[19:28] <k0nichiwa> autohide the icon strip, how do i get it to show itself again ?
[19:29] <Anticom> is there anything available that translates like all menues to german?
[19:29] <Keksuhr> was ist denn zum beispiel nicht auf deutsch (hope you udnerstand)
[19:29] <viktor> can anybody help me find out why gecko media player/mplayer plugin isn't playing wma?
[19:30] <Anticom> Keksuhr: i think ff e.g. wasn't in german
[19:30] <Anticom> i can't remember, wether it only was external software or KDE (i think it is... or is it gnome?! :O) menues aswell
[19:30] <wrapids> How would I set a domain to point to a different domain?
[19:30] <Anticom> but i do belive so
[19:30] <IdleOne> wrapids: ##networking can help
[19:32] <_Marcus> I am looking on the Ubuntu wiki, and is there more information to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure
[19:32] <Anticom> Keksuhr: anyway i just kind of wanted to know, wether ubuntu is available fully translated in V.12.04 at all
[19:32] <_Marcus> I can't really understand. Like what does it look like? Is it software or an operating system?
[19:32] <sivam> I am getting dialog "Authentication is required to set the network proxy used for downloading packages" - how to get rid of this ?
[19:35] <Anticom> Keksuhr: ist es dir lieber, wenn ich auf deutsch frage?
[19:35] <IdleOne> Anticom: Keksuhr English here please.
[19:35] <IdleOne> !de
[19:35] <Anticom> IdleOne: i just asked him, wether he was more comfortable in german

[19:38] <Jorgebio> Hi all
[19:38] <RaverX3X> hi
[19:38] <chris-> -the inability to arrange apps by their popularity star rating
[19:38] <chris-> -popularity star rating app missing on ubuntu 10.04 lucid
[19:38] <chris-> I just looked at Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Software center and clearly did see , the popularity app's there. So there is no way I do not have the popularity next to the software displayed on my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.
[19:38] <chris-> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ubuntu-karmic-koala,2484-6.html
[19:38] <FloodBot1> chris-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:38] <glitsj16> viktor: do you get any errors when you try to play a wma file via mplayer? or a link to test the gecko plugin with?
[19:39] <viktor> glitsj16, nope, just, nothing happens
[19:40] <chris-> FloodBot1: Sorry but I am working onsome issue here
[19:40] <glitsj16> viktor: are you starting it via terminal? if not, try that .. otherwise we're as good as blind on the issue
[19:40] <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] <chris-> Any apt-get , solution here , please ? Thank you.
[19:40] <viktor> glitsj16, i'm now installing mediaplayerconnectivity plugin, and i'm istalling mplayer which removes mplayer2
[19:41] <viktor> glitsj16, start an element on the website with terminal? not sure how...
[19:42] <glitsj16> viktor: i meant running mplayer from terminal, you can point that to a local wma file or a url .. in both cases mplayer will output what it is doing
[19:43] <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.
[19:44] <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..
[19:45] <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] <glitsj16> viktor: at least that's something .. could you pastebin the gecko plugin output?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> TorbenBeta: pipe to sort -n   maybe
[19:46] <ganster> ActionParsnip, though am a client but i need to share the file with guy who is away from me
[19:47] <ganster> ActionParsnip, is it necessarily to pass through the server
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> ganster: then install openssh-server and port forward port 22 on your router, you can then make him and account and he can connect securely over the www
[19:47] <chris-> -the inability to arrange apps by their popularity star rating ubu10.04 ?
[19:47] <chris-> -popularity star rating app missing on ubuntu 10.04 lucid ?Any apt-get , solution here , please ? Thank you
[19:48] <iLogical> I want thunderbird to open a link using firefox, it asks to point to its binary, where is it?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: /usr/bin/firefox
[19:48] <TorbenBeta> ActionParsnip, works
[19:48] <TorbenBeta> thanks
[19:48] <viktor> glitsj16, this is strange, i disabled the plugin to get rid of the error msg, and enabled it again to give you the output, but it doesn't show up anymore. it was just a window with "unable to locate <path to something with gecko in the bin>"
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> TorbenBeta: np :)
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: or you can run:  which firefox
[19:49] <duckxx> im on ubuntu 12.04 and just modified my .bashrc file which i took from my centos server.. but it doesnt seem like some of the formating is showing up... here's my file: http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9273/croppercapture65.jpg  --- i see its referencing debian_chroot .. do i have to change that to something else in ubuntu
[19:49] <duckxx> ?
[19:49] <rgenito_> any idea why a 1024x768x32bpp Xvfb would take >30 seconds to create? we're talking about a machine with 50GB of RAM...
[19:50] <viktor> glitsj16, it's back: "Failed to open file:///home/viktor/.cache/gnome-mplayer/plugin/gecko-mediaplayerqqlqla.mp3." (i was mistaken about bin)
[19:50] <destroyah> Ubuntu has advanced so much, it's ridiculous. Latest ubuntu rapes windows imo.
[19:50] <iLogical> ActionParsnip, thanks
[19:51] <glitsj16> viktor: you can check if that mp3 file exists in that location
[19:53] <glitsj16> viktor: does that file come from a website or did you open a local file through your browser?
[19:54] <RaverX3X> humm intristing
[19:54] <RaverX3X> might have to post this to the nvidia bug tracker
[19:54] <viktor> glitsj16, i'm on a website, the file in the err-msg doesn't exist, this one does: gecko-mediaplayerckwxtp.mp3
[19:56] <glitsj16> viktor: probably just a temporary cache file your plugin creates .. if you pass the url i'll try to play it
[19:56] <ganster> ActionPa1snip, can ihave the link for shh
[19:57] <ActionPa1snip> ganster: you just need to install openssh-server
[19:57] <glitsj16> viktor: but i thought your original trouble was with wma files, not mp3 .. a bit confused
[19:57] <viktor> glitsj, http://www.thai-language.com/id/816938, now with the new plugin and mplayer it works fine :)
[19:57] <ActionPa1snip> ganster: then port forward port 22 on your router to the PC (if you use a router)
[19:57] <glitsj16> viktor: great, sorry for the confusion
[19:57] <RaverX3X> anyone have issues with nvidia 302.17 and ubuntu where the 3d applicaton looses focus do to another app
[19:57] <RaverX3X> but then ur framerate goes to shit
[19:58] <ActionPa1snip> ganster: he will og on as an account on the PC, just like you do
[19:58] <ActionPa1snip> !info nvidia-current
[19:58] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: how did you install the driver?
[19:59] <ganster> ActionPa1snip, if we use modem will it be successfully
[19:59] <RaverX3X> ubuntu already installed the latest driver when it instaled to this system actionpa1snip
[19:59] <ActionPa1snip> ganster: then no forwarding is needed ?
[19:59] <ActionPa1snip> ganster: there is no NAT to traverse so it will be ok
[19:59] <Mech0z> how do you stop a running python script ?
[19:59] <RaverX3X> 302.17 was the current pritortary driver even tho there website and nvidia current repo has 295
[20:00] <shamt> where is .emac file , i want to add these lines to it " (add-to-list 'load-path "PATH CONTAINING go-mode-load.el" t)
[20:00] <shamt>    (require 'go-mode-load)"
[20:00] <RaverX3X> unless i go beta driver which is 302.44
[20:01] <RaverX3X> odd because i cannot find the 302.17 driver anywhere from nvidias repos
[20:01] <glitsj16> RaverX3X: nvidia released a new beta few days ago, 304.22 which fixed a busload of bugs in 302.17
[20:01] <viktor> glitsj16, that's probably my fault, srry. not sure why it didn't work, thought it had something to do with the files being wma, but looking at the script they're mp3... so i guess it was gecko or mplayer2 not working well?
[20:01] <RaverX3X> oh got a repo for it cause i cannot find it in there resapotory
[20:01] <viktor> glitsj16, in any case, thnk u for the help :)
[20:01] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy nvidia-curent; dpkg -l | grep nvidia      thanks
[20:02] <RaverX3X> and using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current gives me 295
[20:02] <glitsj16> viktor: probably, very welcome, and good luck with the thai language :)
[20:02] <viktor> glitsj16, :D hehe, thnks
[20:03] <RaverX3X> action u want pastebin right
[20:03] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: please
[20:03] <RaverX3X> http://pastebin.com/Qxwt46uJ there you go actionpa1snip
[20:03] <whateverman> I have an Acer Aspire 6930g and suffered from a slow machine after a plain regular installation of Ubuntu 12.04 (x64), no matter what desktop environment I used (xfce/gnome/unity/kde). I installed the Enlightenment, and on the bottom there is this toolbar that you can select CPU power mode - 2.0ghz, 1.6ghz, etc. it was on the minimum the whole time! I wonder, how can I change the CPU settings on Unity/Gnome ?
[20:04] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: sorry: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[20:04] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: can you pastebin that please (typo)
[20:06] <whateverman> anyone?
[20:06] <RaverX3X> lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy nvidia-curent; dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[20:06] <RaverX3X> is what u want right
[20:06] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: just:  apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[20:07] <ActionPa1snip> whateverman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142688/cpu-frequency-scaling-for-12-04
[20:07] <whateverman> thanks!!
[20:07] <RaverX3X> http://pastebin.com/mQD84wHu there you go ActionPa1snip
[20:08] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: you are using a PPA, i suggest you contact the PPA maintainer
[20:08] <RaverX3X> ok lol
[20:08] <RaverX3X> so contact nvidia then sence that was the ppa to there repo
[20:09] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: the PPA you have is not maintained by nvidia
[20:09] <RaverX3X> got a link to the current nvidia ppa?
[20:10] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates   is what you are using
[20:10] <ida_> !list
[20:10] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: I suggest you uninstall the driver you have, remove the PPA then try the driver from the Ubuntu repo
[20:11] <neberu> yep
[20:11] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: https://launchpad.net/~bryce  is the owner of the PPA
[20:11] <yannick> !patience
[20:11] <yannick> ok
[20:11] <bazhang> yannick, stop that.
[20:12] <RaverX3X> thanks now im trying to find that repo in my sources and remove it
[20:12] <Oli__> Why is my monitor using the commented out modeline rather than the non commented out modeline? http://paste.linuxassist.net/216057
[20:14] <amliby> I'm installing a web server and I'm not sure what directory would be appropriate for some template files. Does anybody have any suggestions?
[20:15] <delac> having problems configuring valr awf Widget Factory. It hangs on checking gtk3, which it claims it can't find. I'm running Precise, so what might be the problem?
[20:16] <glitsj16> amliby: if you want people to be able to use the templates directly you can put them under the web servers document root no? without more specific info it's hard to tell
[20:17] <amliby> glitsj16: This is my own software. I guess the question is where should I put the document root? Is /var/www2/ an acceptible place?
[20:17] <whateverman> I'm such a noob it's embarrassing: in order to get the CPUFreq it says on the Ubuntu forums that I need to: ppa:artfwo/ppa and install package indicator-cpufreq ; how do I install/download it ?
[20:18] <bazhang> !addppa | whateverman
[20:18] <glitsj16> amliby: it is yes, just make sure you got the dir/file permissions set up correct for that location
[20:18] <whateverman> haha thanks!
[20:18] <bXi> okay this is weird. i somehow forgot how to get a static ip address on a network interface using ubuntu server
[20:19] <bXi> i think i have set it up in the proper way but it won't come up
[20:19] <bXi> (ifconfig shows its there)
[20:19] <ActionPa1snip> whateverman: sudo ad-apt-repository  ppa:artfwo/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq
[20:19] <amliby> glitsj16: Thanks! I'll go ahead and do that then :)
[20:20] <whateverman> thanks you!
[20:20] <muay-guy> Hello, I don't know if it corresponds that I ask this here or in virtualbox channel…but here I go. I can't access the internet in my Ubuntu Server (12.04) after creating a static interface
[20:20] <muay-guy> this is what the interface looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095535/
[20:20] <glitsj16> amliby: no problem, test locally and you'll know soon enough, good luck
[20:21] <bXi> muay-guy: how did you get your interface to actually show this configuration? i'm having issues getting it up at all
[20:22] <muay-guy> bXi: following some tutorials
[20:22] <glitsj16> muay-guy: one obvious thing about that paste is 'getway' (line 8) instead of gateway
[20:22] <muay-guy> I have no idea what I'm doing
[20:22] <Ziber> Reinstalled 12.04 today, and now I have no sound. Best way to start figuring out why?
[20:23] <muay-guy> glitsj16: yeah, I'm copying it myself reading it from the VM right now. I did a typo, English isn't my first language
[20:23] <nosuchpart> Hello everybody, I'm getting that dreaded "no such partition" error out of Grub2 after an update
[20:24] <cib0> Hello everyone.
[20:24] <nosuchpart> grub can apparently find grub.cfg, but any attempt to boot otherwise fails
[20:24] <axisys> what is a good screencast sftware? recordmydesktop saves a small file to 23M
[20:24] <nosuchpart> axisys: what about istanbul?
[20:25] <Ziber> Where should I start looking for problems if I have no sound? I had no problems whatsoever before I reinstalled the OS and didn't have to do anything last time.
[20:25] <ActionPa1snip> nosuchpart: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   try that
[20:25] <tix__> don't mean to spam the channel with another request, but I am trying to set up NIS, and when I do "service nis restart", it says "nis: unrecognized service", even though i installed the nis package. ideas?
[20:25] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: run:  alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[20:26] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: use TAB to complete the service name
[20:26] <axisys> nosuchpart: i guess i could try that
[20:26] <axisys> nosuchpart: never used it before
[20:26] <Ziber> Everything is up fully, yes.
[20:26] <delac> test
[20:26] <delac> yay
[20:27] <Ziber> All the sound settings seem fine...
[20:27] <glitsj16> muay-guy: okay, i'm not at all an expert on this, but ubuntu 12.04 made some changes to dns resolving .. i think you have to add dns details into /etc/network/interfaces for a static ip .. http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ has much more to say
[20:27] <Jordan_U> nosuchpart: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it produces.
[20:27] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | nosuchpart
[20:27] <cib0> I've noticed something very strange. I recently have been using hg with the mozilla source. When using tools such as hg qnew, I  noticed a very large delay(10 minutes) where other developers only experience a delay of a few seconds.
[20:27] <Ziber> Running alsamixer solved it I guess? Thanks.
[20:27] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: i tried that, to no success, but when i look at tutorials, the serivce is called "nis" whenever they try to use the "service" command
[20:28] <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. Sure enough, when moving mozilla elsewhere, suddenly hg sped up from 10 minutes per action to 10 seconds per action.
[20:28] <glitsj16> bXi: you might also want to go over http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ to get static ip set up properly in 12.04
[20:29] <cib0> I also figured out that hg uses many many files to store its changes. Thousands of files for the mozilla source.
[20:29] <cib0> tl;dr: Ubuntu home directory encryption seems to slow down file lookup by a factor of 50.. any idea why that is?
[20:29] <tix__> I forgot to mention that I am trying to run NIS on Precise
[20:30] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: ok, what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[20:30] <Ziber> ActionPa1snip: It's all working now. Dunno what the problem is.
[20:30] <Ziber> *was
[20:30] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: ah, if it's fixed then no worrie :)
[20:31] <manners13> anyone know a way of passing variables from php to shell using ssh2
[20:32] <Ziber> manners13: see #php, but system() :)
[20:33] <Ziber> So, my wireless mouse scrolling is WAY too sensitive. How can I change that?
[20:33] <nosuchpart> Jordan_U, I got it working. Seems like I needed to run grub-install
[20:34] <tix__> Ziber: depends, if you have a sensitivity switch on your mouse, then that could be the culprit but you can find sensitivity settings in ubuntu's settings.
[20:35] <tix__> if you're running precise: system settings -> mouse and touchpad
[20:35] <tix__> i can't think of anything other version off the top of my head
[20:36] <newbie22> does anyone know a good channel for "Windows XP"
[20:36] <newbie22> ???
[20:36] <qmr> my external monitor is to the left of my laptop display.  can I move Unity dock to external display?
[20:36] <glitsj16> newbie22: ##windows
[20:37] <newbie22> Thanks..
[20:37] <tix__> so does anybody know why the precise package for NIS does not install "nis" as a service?
[20:37] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: I think if you make the external display the primary display it will move
[20:38] <danielsp> newbie22: I think you should try a forum somewhere on the web, if you got probs with Windows.
[20:38] <qmr> Alt-F2 doesn't do context searching, but it looks just like unity launcher... any reason for this?
[20:38] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: how do I make it primary?  What does that mean?
[20:38] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo
[20:39] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: Yes, I have looked at that page, but the problem is that nis is not located in /etc/init.d
[20:39] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: in display settings, make the external display primary, if you use an nvidia gpu then you can set it in nvidia-settings
[20:39] <tix__> at least it is not installed with the package
[20:39] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: try:  sudo updatedb; locate nis
[20:40] <qmr> I have monitor settings, I don't have display settings.  not seeing anything in here about primary
[20:40] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: try right clicking the external disply....
[20:41] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: nothing happens when right clickcing
[20:43] <colorsother> can someone help me with a fresh install of 12.04LTS... during the install from a USB stick it hangs
[20:44] <OerHeks> colorsother, be patient, some parts take some time, do you see the hdd led reacting? does caps lock work?
[20:44] <rinzler> what is the grub menu key?
[20:44] <designbybeck> colorsother:  where does it hang at?
[20:44] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: is there any way to filter that list down to just scripts or binaries?
[20:44] <OerHeks> rinzler, hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu
[20:44] <colorsother> okay ill give it some time... i tried the acpi=off option and kept getting     /sbin/modprobe -bv   errors
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: can you drag the displays around?
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: you could pipe it into file I guess then grep to see which are binaries
[20:45] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: yes
[20:45] <rinzler> OerHeks: thanks
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: ok then drag the monitor to the left of the laptop, does it make the Unity move?
[20:46] <qmr> It's already on the left, no
[20:46] <colorsother> currently have a screen that says ubuntu 12.04 with the 4 dots and it keeps going and going
[20:46] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: what video chip do you use?
[20:46] <glitsj16> qmr: you could try editing ~/.config/monitors.xml .. If one of your displays is designated  as the primary output in that file the launcher will show up on that  display. Find the "output" item for your desired primary display in that  file, and then find the sub-item named "primary". Change the value to  "yes" for that output, then log out and log back in
[20:47] <colorsother> nvidia
[20:47] <qmr> Because logging out and logging back in won't disrupt my flow at all.
[20:47] <qmr> Does anyone actually like Unity?  I'm trying to give it a shot today, but meh
[20:47] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: seems there is a launcher placement drop down. Do you see taht?
[20:48] <colorsother> OerHeks the HDD LED is not doing anything
[20:48] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: its ok, i use few apps so it works for me
[20:48] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[20:48] <glitsj16> flow is relative, what is a logout/login compared to braking your neck to see the launcher where you want it ;)
[20:48] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: I don't have any dropdowns besides res, refresh, and rotation
[20:48] <colorsother> thanks ActionPa1 let me restart and try that
[20:49] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:50] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: natty
[20:50] <jacta> how is it that I'm able to get my console look like this: http://9l.dk/upload/Screenshot%20-%2007162012%20-%2010:49:22%20PM.png
[20:50] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: ahhh, let me search better
[20:50] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: Precise has a nice switcher in its display config
[20:50] <jacta> the green/blue style
[20:51] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: natty doesn't have much support left in it either, you may want to upgrade soon
[20:51] <qmr> How many animals do I need to sacrifice for a smooth upgrade?
[20:51] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: try:    xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary
[20:52] <qmr> warning: output VGA-0 not found; ignoring
[20:52] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: you may need to run:  xrandr  to see the display names
[20:52] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: http://superuser.com/questions/294553/setting-primary-monitor-for-natty-narwhal
[20:52] <colorsother> how do i pass the nouveau.blacklist=1 option during install ?
[20:53] <bXi> okay can someone help me with dhcp3-server ?
[20:53] <bekks> bXi: Just ask what you really want to know please. :)
[20:53] <bXi> all of the guides i find on the web are referencing files that don't seem to exist on my install
[20:54] <glitsj16> jacta: have you tried changing the color preferences in your xfce4-terminal yet?
[20:54] <jacta> glitsj16, yep - changed background and such in there
[20:55] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: Ok, made it VGA1, but it hasn't moved
[20:55] <colorsother> ActionPa1snip :  how do i pass the nouveau.blacklist=1 option during install ?
[20:56] <glitsj16> jacta: not sure i got your question correctly .. do you want to get the left look (with transparent background) and yours is still looking like the right part of that picture?
[20:57] <GhostWolf> hi all. im stuck on an issue, i upgraded 12.04 by using a fresh install. and i know to get sound back to normal or to working order i have to use the alsamixer. i've done that and i still don't get sound or music through my speakers

[21:00] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: yes, it's one big long command, just copy and paste it to th terminal
[21:00] <glitsj16> jacta: if both are yours you should be able to replicate the settings from left one to right one seeing it is xfce4-terminal ..
[21:00] <GhostWolf> i know it is. just want to make sure and just one second

[21:11] <BlitzHere> Hi all, I am installing xubuntu for the first time, and I was wondering, what are the advantages of using an alternate install over a live install, assuming live does work for you....
[21:11] <Nateeb> can someone help me with his error im getting

[21:11] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok just one second
[21:12] <glitsj16> jacta: so many choices these days indeed
[21:12] <Casey> anyone going to bhelp me?
[21:12] <jacta> glitsj16, I'm pretty sure that I will end up with Xubuntu
[21:12] <glink> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1089412/ this is the errors that Mr. Daniel Holbach had
[21:12] <glink> what can i do
[21:13] <ngunik> I have setted and env variable into arethmetic value and I want to compare this variable with an if . If is even I want to execute a command. If is odd an other one. Which is the syntax ?

[21:17] <trism> glink: looks like you have some gtk stuff in your setup.py, which is kind of weird, do you have a link to your app?
[21:19] <anja_versus> if anyone uses Opera, does https://www.transifex.com/ work for you? I just get a blank page
[21:19] <glink> https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/1301/ this is my app in ubuntu, in launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~fernandofreamunde/+archive/srcinstall
[21:19] <glink> i made it with quickly
[21:20] <Nogal> anja_versus -- I use Firefox, Chrome, Epiphany, and Chromium and it works on all of those if that helps... I don't have opera installed though.
[21:21] <glink> is it possible to be the same error that launchpad gave me before i use the new quickly pacages that fixed a bug related with not building in LP?
[21:21] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:21] <colorsother> ActionPa1snip: thanks for the option..
[21:21] <anja_versus> Nogal: it works in Chromium and (I think) Rekonq.... just not in Opera. The page seems to load (going by the source view) but it doesn't display. Oh, well.
[21:21] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok just one second
[21:22] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: some nvidia chips with some displays hate the nouveau driver, so you can block it
[21:22] <colorsother> durign install my screen black out and the montior lost signal
[21:22] <dat789> hello! I would like to strip down my ubuntu 11.10 to its basic resources so that it runs only the necessary processes. Can someone help me with that please?
[21:22] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: once you get the proprietary driver in you'll be ok. You more than likely won't see the boot splash but it's quite trivial
[21:23] <colorsother> okay... well im just waiting to see what happenes here.. thanks for your input
[21:23] <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?
[21:23] <ActionPa1snip> dat789: http://modifyubuntu.com/#speed     has a show all startup apps, you can disable stuff there and make boot faster
[21:24] <dat789> ActionPalsnip: thank you. I'll check that out now
[21:24] <Nogal> cascadia; you might want to look into a slax liveCD to boot up and make a backup of your data you need to recover.
[21:24] <qmr> Neither glipper or AutoKey are working properly with Unity.  I try to open preferences for glipper and nothing happens.
[21:26] <noiro> Hey guys, whenever I try to run Gnome for 12.04, it runs gnome classic. Why is this? On my much less powerful netbook, gnome with effects loads, but not on this computer (which much better graphics)
[21:26] <robin> hello
[21:26] <cascadia> Nogal: All the data that was in that home partition was backed up. Meaning, I didn't lose any documents, pictures, etc. So okay there. The issue is I can't login when the system boots up. It says it can't enter the home folder. Just returns me to a login screen.
[21:27] <radioelephant> hi all
[21:27] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok thats all done. what do i need to do next?
[21:27] <Nogal> cascadia, without reinstalling it, that's out of my league...
[21:30] <trism> glink: nope that doesn't seem to be the issue (I'm guessing your earlier bug was the glib-compile-schemas one everyone was having)
[21:31] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     wait 10 seconds then reboot to test
[21:31] <glink> so how can i solve the problem? i used only quickly things :x i don't understand
[21:31] <BenGurion> hey, I just started using a wireless bluetooth keyboard on ubuntu 11.10 and I noticed that if I don't use the keyboard for a  while the bluetooth will set itself on "off", is this normal?
[21:32] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, reboot the pc?
[21:32] <glink> trism: so how can i solve the problem? i used only quickly things :x i don't understand
[21:32] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: probably, maybe for power saving?
[21:32] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: yes after the small wait, should reload the new alsa with default settings, may help
[21:32] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok just making sure you meant the pc
[21:32] <trism> glink: I have an idea, and am taking a look now, I'll let you know
[21:33] <trism> glink: but it is looking like another quickly bug
[21:33] <glink> i have litle time can you email me?
[21:33] <glink> lol
[21:33] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, yes, well this is not a problem if there is only a short delay at the beginning of each active session however, sometimes the bluetooth will be completely off, so that i have to replug it and redo the search for the keyboard device
[21:34] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: oh, the wonders of wireless keyboards
[21:34] <noiro> Hey guys, whenever I try to run Gnome for 12.04, it runs gnome classic. Why is this? On my much less powerful netbook, gnome with effects loads, but not on this computer (which much better graphics)
[21:34] <noiro> Which gnome is the one without a bottom task bar?
[21:34] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, also, haven't restarted yet, hope I don
[21:35] <BenGurion> t have to redo the search for the device each time
[21:35] <CoJaBo> "Package 'php5-fpm' has no installation candidate" <--Is there any way to troubleshoot/fix errors like that?
[21:36] <BenGurion> on the other hand the cheap wireless mouse i got with its own usb dongle is working perfectly
[21:36] <BenGurion> stupid bluetooth
[21:36] <trism> glink: I'll keep looking but you may want to ask in #ubuntu-app-devel they probably have more experience with quickly
[21:36] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: sorry i can't be more helpful, i refuse to use wireless keyboards, waste of batteries etc
[21:36] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, but you gotta hate wires
[21:36] <BenGurion> and cords
[21:36] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: they are never in my way so no
[21:36] <BenGurion> they give me eye cancer
[21:37] <BenGurion> it's so 1999
[21:37] <BenGurion> on the other hand the invisible waves will probably give me brain tumors
[21:37] <har> good evening
[21:38] <glink> trism: thank you! if you find some thing u can contact me by LP or give feedback on the app.  i really have to go once again thank you very much!
[21:39] <ActionPa1snip> BenGurion: wired is a tonne easier to configure
[21:39] <ThinkT510> ActionPa1snip: what configuration?
[21:39] <BenGurion> ActionPa1snip, the configuration is actually pretty easy, for usb dongles there is none, for bluetooth it's simple
[21:40] <colorsother>  ActionPa1snip, okay i got the install to go through but once I rebooted the system will no longer load.. hangs on the splash screen with 4 dots.... also the grub menu never appears so i can put in a optoin
[21:40] <BenGurion> but my worry is, will it stay that way for the bluetooth, it seems unstable
[21:40] <noiro> hey guys, can you tell me why gnome3 is not executing and isntad switching to fallback mode?
[21:41] <ThinkT510> noiro: graphics drivers
[21:41] <aguitel> noiro, need propietaries drivers
[21:41] <noiro> I have nvidia's propietary driver installed. e.o
[21:41] <aguitel> realy?
[21:41] <aguitel> check
[21:41] <noiro> aguitel, how would I check?
[21:42] <LosGringo> Word. Yo... Ok. I dual booted. But at the choice screen. I don't want it to count down. I'd like it to stay. There are times where I must get up and come back, and I don't like constant restart to choose
[21:42] <aguitel> noiro, glxgears
[21:42] <ActionPa1snip> BenGurion: or you can shove in a usb device and blam, zero config
[21:42] <aguitel> glxinfo
[21:42] <ThinkT510> LosGringo: /etc/default/grub
[21:43] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: hold SHIFT at boot and you can press E to edit the boot option there
[21:43] <noiro> aguitel, the gears show up
[21:43] <LosGringo> What's that gonna do? How will I then turn the counter off?
[21:43] <noiro> and they are moving at a reasonable framerate
[21:43] <aguitel> noiro, glxinfo say rendering yes?
[21:43] <ThinkT510> LosGringo: 'tis the file to edit, rather self-explanitory when you see it
[21:43] <noiro> aguitel, they don't say anything. Just a window with 3D gears moving.
[21:44] <BenGurion> see just now I had to replug the bluetooth dongle
[21:44] <LosGringo> Awesome. Thank you
[21:44] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ Wierd grpahics error, any help?
[21:44] <aguitel> noiro, exit this window
[21:44] <BenGurion> under system settings it said "bo bluetooth adapter found"
[21:44] <BenGurion> no*
[21:44] <aguitel> noiro, type in other terminal glxinfo
[21:45] <HDScorpio> The wierd lines in everything
[21:45] <BenGurion> time to test reboot
[21:45] <noiro> what am I supposed to see?
[21:45] <HDScorpio> Is that directed at me Noiro
[21:45] <aguitel> rendering line
[21:46] <noiro> aguitel, in terminal, it shows me a ton of hex lines

[21:47] <kyle__> Anyone about using intel 3150 graphics on 12.04?  Is it fantastic, laggy, middle of the road?
[21:47] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ If anyone can help me out, I have these wierd lines all over my wallpaper. This used to happen to me on Ubuntu 11.10 aswell
[21:48] <noiro> aguitel: Here is a framerate for the gears: 96694 frames in 5.0 seconds = 19338.752 FPS
[21:48] <BenGurion> great, works on reboot
[21:48] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, i did as you said and i still can't get any sounds
[21:49] <aguitel> noiro, ok
[21:49] <colorsother> after i put in the nouveau.blacklist=1 what do i press to save the option ?
[21:49] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: if you re-check alsamixer is it ok? If you press F6 is the correct sound device selected?
[21:49] <Somelauw> Hi, when using nvidia drivers some fonts are displayed very huge, but only when I'm not running gnome-settings-daemon. When using nouveau drivers fonts are always displayed in a normal format. I'm wondering if I can make the fonts display normal without running gnome-settings-daemon.
[21:49] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: if you use speakers, are they in the right hole?
[21:50] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ If anyone can help me out, I have these wierd lines all over my wallpaper. This used to happen to me on Ubuntu 11.10 aswell
[21:51] <ActionPa1snip> HDScorpio: is the system a laptop?
[21:51] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, i checked alsamixer even making sure nothing was muted and everything was at 100 but i didn't check the sound device, did that before but didn't think of that after the reboot. and yes everything is in the right place. i haven't changed anything since i did a fresh install of 12.04 it worked fine before i installed the new ubuntu
[21:51] <noiro> aguitel: Unity works on my computer fine, I just don't like the UI. I want Gnome3's. :P
[21:51] <ActionPa1snip> noiro: then install gnome-shell  and use that
[21:51] <IdleOne> noiro: install gnome-shell, logout, select gnome-shell at login
[21:51] <kyle__> HDScorpio: I'd boot off a CD and run memtest86 if I were you.  Looks like video card using share memory, and it's corrupt.
[21:52] <zykotick9> HDScorpio: if you open the wallpaper image in an image viewing program - does it also have the lines?  and/or try different wallpaper - same issue?
[21:52] <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?
[21:52] <HDScorpio> Actionpalsnip Yes, a really old HP-550
[21:52] <noiro> ActionPa1snip: I have. When I select gnome during login, it puts me into Gnome 2
[21:52] <aguitel> Здравствуйте, сразу прошу прощения если не туда пишу. Подскажите пожалуйста утилиту для измерения уровня сигнала вай-фай
[21:52] <ActionPa1snip> noiro: sure you didn't install gnome-panel and not gnome-shell?
[21:52] <HDScorpio> Zykotick, if you look at the other image it's not just the wallpaper. It doesn't happen when I change the wallpaper
[21:53] <zykotick9> !tab > HDScorpio
 When I use sudo apt-get install gnome-shell it says there are no new updates
[21:53] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: my sound troubleshooting skills are limited, maybe others can help
[21:53] <RamJett> I have a NFS question. In NFS v4. How would I use the UID/GID of the client (passwd/group) to map. I do not even need the server to map user/group ..  I've been using NFS v3 for misc file servers and the server has never mapped the UID/GID
[21:53] <CoJaBo> So it turns out the issue is that the "minimal" install of Ubuntu is missing nearly all of the repositories; a fact mentioned nowhere.
[21:54] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok, i never encountered this before, first time i used ubuntu i was told to go to alsamixer when i didn't have sound. i did that and now i don't
[21:54] <HDScorpio> Tab wont work..
[21:54] <HDScorpio> So should I run memtest?
[21:54] <UseRR> bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[21:54] <UseRR> why?
[21:54] <kyle__> HDScorpio: I think so.
[21:54] <UseRR> plz help me
[21:55] <kyle__> RamJett: if you don't need the UID/GID parts, you can put insecure in the exports line
[21:55] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: is it in your users $HOME ?
[21:55] <colorsother> can someone let me know how to save the grub parameters after I edit the boot commmands.. not sure if im save the options i put in
[21:55] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: and what are you compiling?
[21:55] <tcstar> So, I'm having a permissions issue on SSH I think...  I have a git repo on the server that periodically I have to chown to my user before it will allow me to push anything to it...   Any idea how to fix that?
[21:56] <Dr_willis> colorsother,  you edit the /etc/default/grub file then rerun update-grub as root.
[21:56] <zykotick9> colorsother: to "save" grub options edit /etc/default/grub file - then run "sudo update-grub"
[21:56] <UseRR> ActionPa1snip Comile for omega-0.7.7-stable.tar but bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[21:56] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: you only need to edit it for the first boot then you can install the nvidia proprietary driver :)
[21:56] <zykotick9> Dr_willis: great minds think alike - and fools seldom differ ;)
[21:57] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, got a question, theres something new in alsamixer i don't think i remember from 11.04 but it has auto-mute and its selected as enabled. should that be enabeld or disabled?
[21:57] <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] <Dr_willis> We are all Foos here ;)
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> !info  omega
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> hmm
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: is the folder stored in your users home folder?
[21:57] <UseRR> ActionPa1snip yes
[21:57] <Descra> Hi, what set of package do  you recommend for a low computer (1.5Ghz, 512 Mb, mobility radeon 7500)?
[21:58] <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] <Descra> thanks
[21:59] <kyle__> Anyone here using intel 3150 GMA graphics on their system?
[21:59] <bobby_> Anyone?
[21:59] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[21:59] <Dr_willis> dat789,  you could just move the files somwehere.
[22:00] <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.
[22:01] <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] <colorsother> then add the  "nouveau.blacklist=1" line to the bottom
[22:01] <colorsother> then PRESS F10
[22:01] <FloodBot1> colorsother: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:02] <DJRWolf> is there a way to make iTunes work in Ubuntu? native or with wine?
[22:02] <ghanima1> I just purchased a new laptop due to my old one dying on me thankfully the hd is in tack... I installed the new laptop with ubuntu 12. now I am trying to copy my data over but am getting some error Error  Mount on filesystem of type eCryptfs explicitly disallowed due to known incompatibilities.... not sure what to do
[22:02] <ghanima1> any thoughts
[22:02] <Guest60343> hello all
[22:02] <squarepeg> hello
[22:02] <bobby_> I have a problem where Ubuntu will freeze. The only thing i can move is the mouse.  It hangs for about a minute and then resumes.  Anyone seen this on 12?
[22:02] <squarepeg> you know what? I can't change my cursor.
[22:02] <IdleOne> DJRWolf: maybe with wine, see #winehq for more help
[22:02] <Dr_willis> colorsother,  the bottom? it goes on the line where theres a 'splash quiet' at the end of the line. I belive..
[22:02] <Guest60343> na sas pw.. pws mporw na diagrapsw arxeia apo to file system
[22:02] <ActionPa1snip>  UseRR: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[22:03] <squarepeg> I don't know why but it's damned near impossible to change your cursor.
[22:03] <tcstar> bobby_: i run ubuntu 12.04 on 150 machines and 16 servers, i've never seen that happen
[22:03] <colorsother> is this correct ActionPa1snip?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095708/
[22:03] <squarepeg> People have been griping about it since 2007
[22:03] <IdleOne> !gr | Guest60343
[22:03] <squarepeg> I found a thread of people griping beginning in 2007, right up to 2010 when they gave up, and it still isn't fixed.
[22:03] <spinull> .
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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] <Dr_willis> squarepeg,  never noticed or tried.
[22:04] <squarepeg> doesn't do anything
[22:04] <ghanima1> I just purchased a new laptop due to my old one dying on me thankfully the hd is in tack... I installed the new laptop with ubuntu 12. now I am trying to copy my data over but am getting some error Error  Mount on filesystem of type eCryptfs explicitly disallowed due to known incompatibilities.... not sure what to do..... anyone
[22:04] <squarepeg> and I installed big-cursor
[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.
[22:05] <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] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: isn't there the mouse pointer size option under mouse settnigs?
[22:06] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=change+cursor+size
[22:06] <squarepeg> Tonisius: I'll have to make my own window manager.
[22:06] <colorsother> not too good with Grub yet
[22:06] <squarepeg> everything is interdependent
[22:06] <squarepeg> like a byzantine bureacracy
[22:06] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: nope
[22:06] <bobby_> tcstar: my apologies
[22:06] <squarepeg> The settings don't stick anyway.
[22:07] <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.
[22:08] <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.
[22:09] <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?
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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.
[22:12] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: not a good sign
[22:12] <GhostWolf> anyways im out, my problem is solved and fixed. have a nice one everyone
[22:12] <kyle__> squarepeg: Just because I always have a fresh pot I'm drinking, my co-workers treat my office like a coffee shop.
[22:13] <squarepeg> kyle__: maybe that's good for networking
[22:13] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: I'll get some adderall soon.
[22:13] <kyle__> Heh.
[22:13] <IdleOne> !ot | squarepeg
[22:13] <squarepeg> I can't seem to keep up with all the top-tier programmers
[22:14] <IdleOne> squarepeg: Please stick to ubuntu support in here, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:14] <squarepeg> yep
[22:14] <squarepeg> I'm just trying to make my cursor big, but I guess there's no easy way.
[22:15] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: let me search
[22:15] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[22:15] <squarepeg> precise
[22:15] <Schuenemann> how can I record the ISO to USB pendrive besides using unetbootin?
[22:15] <squarepeg> I'm in Unity 2D right now.
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> !info big-cursor
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: tried that?
[22:16] <squarepeg> yep, it's installed
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: ok
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <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.
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: it is an informative video, and it shows that the configuration  is a major undertaking.
[22:20] <squarepeg> But thank you, I'll let you know the results.
[22:21] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: hardly, just a single setting in dconf...
[22:21] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, cat ubuntu-12.04-32bits.iso > /media/pendrive/    ?
[22:21] <colorsother> hahaha... okay i've got 12.04 to bootup and i installed the additional nvidia drivers and now the keyboard stop working for some reason.  i can't log into my box...
[22:21] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  i always use dd. :) not sure of the syntax for cat/.
[22:22] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  and you put it on the /dev/sdX  of the device.. NOT its mountpoint
[22:22] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdb     (DONT make a mistake and use a wrong device)
[22:22] <zykotick9> Schuenemann: incorrect syntax for cat!!!  you need to "sudo -i" first then select the USB drive (not a partition) "cat blah.iso > /dev/sdb"
[22:22] <ActionPa1snip> Dr_willis: thats always entertaining
[22:23] <Schuenemann> ok, it's going now
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: does it work ok now?
[22:24] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: It works for some windows, but not everywhere.
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: did you reboot?
[22:24] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: no
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: well...the video shows a reboot....
[22:24] <squarepeg> okay, I'll do that
[22:24] <squarepeg> brb
[22:24] <rhizmoe> how do i keep the unity scroll thingy from subverting resize handles?
[22:25] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: if you only follow half a guide, you won't getthe result
[22:25] <rhizmoe> i want to resize, but ubuntu thinks it knows better than me what i want to do.
[22:26] <rhizmoe> pretty sure the channel has probably stopped responding to gnome3 questions by now
[22:26] <species> i wonder why that is
[22:26] <species> i have serious beef with gnome3 myself
[22:26] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: gnome3 is the default DE, so I doubt that a lot
[22:27] <species> ActionPa1snip: if we did a show of hands, how many people here use gnome3 do you think?
[22:27] <rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: well, the overall idea seems to be to shut up and like it. meanwhile, i have trouble resizing windows
[22:27] <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?
[22:28] <rhizmoe> you aren't going to get a "show of hands" on irc, btw
[22:28] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: you don't have to at all, there is nothing stopping you using LXDE, XFCE or KDE for example
[22:28] <species> rhizmoe: o/
[22:28] <species> see, show of hands
[22:28] <species> yeah, lxde ftw
[22:28] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: back
[22:28] <rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: is that to say there's no way for me to resize a window without a scroll thumb appearing under my cursor?
[22:28] <squarepeg> Still the big cursor works only in special circumstances.
[22:29] <squarepeg> When I resize my window, it's big.
[22:29] <squarepeg> inside my web browser I have the big cursor
[22:29] <squarepeg> but on the desktop, I have the small cursor
[22:29] <lifestream> I used to know a command line to "press and hold a key
[22:29] <lifestream> Oops.
[22:30] <squarepeg> I bet it would look like an invisible speck on a retina display
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: no idea, not something I do tbh
[22:30] <rhizmoe> you don't resize windows? ok.
[22:30] <lifestream> I used to know a command line to "press and hold a key" for me, but I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone know it? Because in one game, I want to hold down a key all the time.
[22:30] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: thanks for your help. I got it partially figured out.
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: cool
[22:30] <Casey> ok i got it to run the script
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: all I did was search the web :)
[22:30] <Casey> but it won't send the email
[22:30] <squarepeg> But someone made it so the cursor size is locked.
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: I don't use GUI much except web browsers
[22:31] <squarepeg> Yeah, me too. I tried that video and couldn't get the change to take full effect.
[22:31] <Casey> whats the mail sent log for ssmtp?
[22:31] <Casey> wheres
[22:31] <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 :)
[22:32] <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!"
[22:33] <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] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: perhaps I will.
[22:34] <rhizmoe> [15:30] < ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: no idea, not something I do tbh
[22:34] <rhizmoe> "don't use gnome" isn't a good answer, tbh
[22:34] <rhizmoe> but i'm not here to fight!
[22:34] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: you asked me, directly, a question. Its rude to not reply isn't it
[22:35] <ActionPa1snip> 23:29 < rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: is that to say there's no way for me to resize a window without a scroll thumb appearing under my cursor
[22:36] <myhero> how to install xfce on 12.04 ???? sudo apt-get install xubuntu-destop is not wrking on terminal and software center is not showing any other xubuntu desktop environment pacakages....
[22:36] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: sudo apt-get install xfce4   will install a minimal xfce desktop
[22:36] <danub> why are packages "kept back" during an upgrade?
[22:36] <Casey> i'm trying to get this script to send a email i got it to run but it won't send it i think its a error iun the script, also i'm useing ssmtp to send the email
[22:36] <Casey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095751/
[22:37] <ActionPa1snip> danub: because their dependencies are not met yet
[22:37] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: hii action how r u....
[22:37] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: not bad, you ok?
[22:37] <danub> ActionPa1snip: how do i go about findout out what dependancies are missing?
[22:37] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: m gud....so after many days....
[22:38] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i wanna install full and not minimal....any other way 2 install full xubuntu desktop environment
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> danub: they are on the repos, as soon as the repos get the deps for the package it will install. Its not something you can sort
[22:39] <danub> Casey: not much of a shell scripter. all my stuff is in perl. my guess is the mail command is wrong somehow
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> !info xubuntu-desktop
[22:39] <danub> ActionPa1snip: ahh. i was looking and was like, i want amarok... why hold it back
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: do you have universe repo enabled
[22:40] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, I think I just broke the pendrive
[22:40] <ActionPa1snip> danub: the amarok package is ready, but the packages it needs are not at the right versions yet, so it is held back
[22:40] <Schuenemann> it isn't mounting anymore
[22:40] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: yes....main universe multiverse and restricted....
[22:40] <danub> gotcha
[22:40] <rhizmoe> Casey: does mail -s "test" your@email work?
[22:40] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: so i should do xfce4 as u said or xubuntu-meta ???
[22:41] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: and why is xubuntu-desktop not showing anything ???
[22:42] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: try:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[22:42] <danub> anyone in here live in Minnesota?
[22:42] <danub> nvm, off-topic
[22:43] <Schuenemann> zykotick9, the pendrive doesn't mount anymore. I type "mount" and it doesn't show up
[22:43] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i did update int he 1st place then tried xubuntu-dsktop in software center then did sudo apt.....xubuntu-desktop and then when it didn't showed up then i came here....
[22:43] <danub> Schuenemann: that just tells you what is mounted. you might have to mount it again or try disconnecting and reconnecting
[22:44] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: and whether my system is update or not but why is it not being showed in software center
[22:44] <Schuenemann> danub, I did. It blinks a few times and nothing more
[22:45] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i did update in the 1st place then tried xubuntu-dsktop in software center then did sudo apt.....xubuntu-desktop and then when it didn't showed up then i came here....
[22:45] <Wug> alright so I have me an issue
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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] <Wug> its perplexing.
[22:47] <Wug> the log file in question is /var/log/jockey.log
[22:47] <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] <Casey> no mail don't work but i can send mail useing ssmtp
[22:47] <danub> Schuenemann: i dont think that is the right command for that.
[22:48] <Casey> command
[22:48] <danub> Casey: your sendmail isn't setup right then
[22:48] <Wug> cascadia: can you boot to single user mode
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <cascadia> Wug: Will try that now
[22:50] <Sazpaimon> how do I enable javascript in the elinks deb?
[22:50] <Casey> well how do i get the mail command to use ssmtp?
[22:51] <HDScorpio> http://i.imgur.com/BJWMA.jpg  Youtube fullscreen error, didn't happen in 11.10. Upgraded to 12.04 yesterday and this is happening
[22:51] <Schuenemann> danub, so? The pendrive is screwed?
[22:52] <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] <Wug> cascadia: I'm in dozens of channels.  ping me to attract my attention
[22:52] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:53] <HDScorpio> http://i.imgur.com/BJWMA.jpg  Youtube fullscreen error, didn't happen in 11.10. Upgraded to 12.04 yesterday and this is happening
[22:53] <cascadia> Wug: Okay
[22:53] <HDScorpio> This error is unrelated to my previous, which is sorted out now.
[22:53] <Wug> in su mode?
[22:53] <danub> Schuenemann: you will need to manually mount that most likey. 'sudo mkdir /media/pendrive;sudo mount -t iso /dev/sdb /media/pendrive' if memory serves
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[22:53] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:54] <amliby> Where is the proper place to save log files? Lintian gives a warning for logs saved in /var/log/myprog/
[22:54] <Wug> cascadia: youre in single user mode?
[22:54] <Schuenemann> danub, yeah, it's indeed bootable. I'll install it on the netbook
[22:54] <cascadia> Wug: Booting up the OS right now
[22:54]  * jagginess thinks Munz is spamming the same message at least 3 times in 1 minute
[22:54] <cascadia> not yet to point where I can enter grub
[22:54] <Munz> sorry
[22:55] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, getting that now
[22:55] <danub> Schuenemann: yeah. you will have to manually mount that then. try the commands i gave u earlier if you want to mount it.
[22:55] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:55] <sudo-apt-get> ubuntu doesnt support webgl?
[22:55] <jagginess> !ops Munz spamming same message over and over
[22:55] <Wug> Munz: if youre going to spam that over and over, at least fix the grammar errors
[22:55] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/rjZZnbjs
[22:56] <Munz> Wug: sorry i thought u meant i should do that , second english is not my native language .... have a nice night
[22:57] <sudo-apt-get> I cannot open a website in ubuntu becoz it says no webgl supported.
[22:57] <sudo-apt-get> Please help
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: all I can recommend is uninstalling flashplugin-installer and enabling the partner repo, then install adobe-flashplugin
[22:57] <jagginess> sudo-apt-get, try a different webbrowser
[22:57] <danub> sudo-apt-get: its not ubuntu, its the browser/hardware ur using
[22:58] <sudo-apt-get> i am using chrome
[22:58] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, how would I go about that?
[22:58] <danub> whats the site?
[22:58] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, I'm a skid at that stuff
[22:58] <sudo-apt-get> http://ramayana.sites.f-i.com/
[22:59] <danub> works fine for me
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: use software centre
[22:59] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, Oh, okay
[22:59] <Wug> cascadia: does it boot to SU mode
[22:59] <cascadia> Wug: Having trouble getting into grub.
[23:00] <sudo-apt-get> The site says my graphics card doesnt support webGL
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <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] <sudo-apt-get> Webgl worked before.
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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?
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <Wug> I've concluded that it's not me being retarded
[23:08] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, The reinstall didn't work
[23:09] <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] <Wug> i've heard that if I were to say "installing 7970 drivers on ubuntu is impossible because such and such a biased anti ubuntu reason" I would immediately get 500 helpful comments
[23:10] <bekks> Having three hardlinked files A B C - how can I rename B and C when renaming A to A* ?
[23:10] <Wug> and then be kickbanned
[23:11] <danub> Wug: did you try that command to locate the jockey file?
[23:11] <amliby> Where is the appropriate place to save log files?
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <Wug> there are no .log files
[23:14] <Wug> how uninformative
[23:14] <Jordan_U> cascadia: Did you actually hold shift during boot?
[23:15] <Wug> Jordan_U: the joke is that the easiest way to get help with ubuntu (or any other linux distro) is to say $DISTRO sucks because I can't X
[23:15] <Wug> you will hear more ways to accomplish X than you would have ever thought possible
[23:16] <Wug> danub: drawing a blank here.

[23:16] <danub> Wug: yeah, im not finding anything on a quick google search for it.
[23:16] <Wug> WAHEY
[23:16] <danub> i see they put out a special catalyst driver, but i dont know if that is what you need
[23:16] <Wug> I found it
[23:17] <danub> what was it?
[23:17] <Wug> apparently it doesnt flush to disk until I close the message
[23:17] <danub> LOL
[23:17] <PlayingNaked> i have installed ubuntu on my windows machine, dual booting. I performed an automatic partitioning when installing
[23:17] <Wug> which I hadnt done, because I was reading the filename
[23:17] <danub> well that will teach you
[23:17] <cascadia> Jordan_U: Yeah, that's what I was trying
[23:17] <Wug> here take this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095809/
[23:17] <PlayingNaked> anyways, i dont have any free space on my ubuntu OS- and when i run gparted, i only see the windows partition (when booting from live cd)
[23:18] <heligoland> hi

[23:19] <heligoland> Can someone please, please plese help me get my Belkin wifi adapter working?
[23:19] <aaGp> anyone who can help me out with Disk Utility ?
[23:19] <Wug> aaGp: what do you need from it
[23:20] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 10 minutes
[23:20] <danub> Wug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11413368
[23:20] <danub> that help you out?
[23:20] <Schuenemann> is says creating filesystem ext4 to / in sda
[23:21] <Schuenemann> the pendrive isn't blinking anymore
[23:21] <cascadia> danub: ran update-grub
[23:21] <aaGp> Wug: the thing is, that i want to change the format from my external HD that is NTFS to FAT32 that way i can plug it in to my DVD player, i have read that is possible doing that.
[23:21] <gavin__> hello
[23:21] <gavin__> I need some help
[23:21] <aaGp> wug: i just dont want to format the HD just to change the format
[23:21] <danub> gavin__: just ask
[23:21] <gavin__> I'm trying to play a DVD and it won't let me play it on Ubuntu
[23:21] <danub> cascadia: did it fix ya?
[23:21] <raptx0r> hi guys! Please help me! i've deleted for mistake /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ entirely! What should i do now?
[23:22] <gavin__> it keeps saying can't find the resource or something like that
[23:22] <gavin__> I can't seem to locate the issue
[23:22] <PlayingNaked> I am dual booting windows and Ubuntu; i dont have any free space left on my Ubuntu- Gparted does not show two partitions, is this configured somehwere else?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | gavin__
[23:23] <gavin__> !dvd, won't seem to play
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: did you try removing unused kernels and clearing space with bleachbit?
[23:23] <aaGp> wu: there's an option that is called Edit Partition, where appears the option what format do u want to give to the HD, i just wanna make sure that nothing is gonna happend with all my files that i have inside of my external HD..
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:23] <PlayingNaked> I have not used bleachbit yet, no. Will bleachbit clear the unused kernals as well, or is that a terminal command?
[23:23] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: What does that command do?#
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: ubuntu tweak can do it, or you can do it manually
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: guess...based on your initial question....
[23:24] <danub> lol
[23:24] <PleXuS> is there a universal music file ID Tag reader for MP3 and FLAC and other file systems? or read id3info those also?
[23:24] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, is Ubuntu running on my Windows drive and not a seperate partition?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: those commands are in the playiingDVD link that ubottu gave too
[23:24] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Would that sort the main issue out and the Discs will work
[23:25] <gavin__> Ah ok
[23:25] <gavin__> Thanks
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: that's why that factoid exists
[23:25] <Wug> well whatever
[23:25] <danub> and on that note, im off to finish my scripts. later all.
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: so we don't have to give the command, as loads of people ask
[23:25] <Wug> danub: that sort of helped
[23:25] <danub> Wug: sort of?
[23:25] <Wug> it might have installed but failed to load
[23:25] <Wug> some of it is definitely there
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: if you have the folder /host   your are using wubi
[23:26] <Wug> I dont get the same output for any of the commands listed in the thread
[23:26] <Wug> mostly error messages
[23:26] <danub> thats not good
[23:26] <Wug> will try restarting
[23:26] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 10 minutes
[23:26] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip: looks like I am using wubi
[23:26] <Wug> if the driver is just not loaded because whatever other one was in use that might fix it
[23:26] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Ah ok, I understand what you're saying now, a lot of people used to ask about the commands and thank you for your advice
[23:27] <danub> Wug: it might. it might be locked. give it a restart. cant hurt lol
[23:27] <ironhalik> anyone noticed menus being drawn below active windows? Ie. right click menu being hidden beneath nautilus window, etc.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: PlayingNaked you can use that folder to access the data on your Windows OS. Dead handy
[23:28] <raptx0r> how can i do ? i've deleted the entire directory /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ for a mistake. I know that i'm insistent, but it's urgent. Please.
[23:28] <tensorpudding> do you have backups
[23:29] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Mine isn't Windows OS, mines Ubuntu OS
[23:29] <tensorpudding> if not, you are probably going to have to reinstall your system
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: gavin__ sorry, crossed wires
[23:29] <tensorpudding> if you delete the majority of your system libraries things will not work
[23:30] <goddard> are there any remote system log viewer programs?
[23:30] <Schuenemann> goddard, nano, vim, less
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: the install method isn't that important. You can remove old kernels and get a lot of space back
[23:31] <ironhalik> Really could use some help - I have no idea how to google it :) Since every query with 'windows' and 'ubuntu' returns dualbooting :)
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> goddard: less is great
[23:31] <goddard> Schuenemann: that works but i was thinking a graphical remote viewer
[23:31] <goddard> alright
[23:31] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, even i fi can access my windiws dir from /host - I have like 100 gigs free, but my ubuntu says I only have 156 MBs or so. Where may I modify that?
[23:33] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, ok, ill give that a shit
[23:33] <PlayingNaked> shot
[23:33] <goddard> haha
[23:33] <ironhalik> :>
[23:34] <Jordan_U> PlayingNaked: Free space in Wubi has to do with how much of the filesystem contained in the root.disk file is in use, not how much free space there is on your Windows partition.
[23:35] <PlayingNaked> ok, makes sense. if running ubuntu tweak or bleachbit doesnt free up enough- ill be back to see how we can increase that file if at all
[23:37] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 20 minutes
[23:37] <danub> back
[23:37] <danub> Schuenemann: if it is still hung on installing /, something screwed up
[23:38] <Schuenemann> *sigh* rebooting...
[23:39] <gavin__> thank you for your help guys
[23:39] <gavin__> gtg now bye
[23:39] <Phoenixz> Running Kubuntu 11.10 on an 8 core i7 /w 8GB... I start one instance of virtualbox with windows 7 (using 3GB w 128MB graphics mem), and my entire system grinds to a halt while accessing disk.. From what I can see, the system is swapping like nuts.. Is this normal? What could be the problem, and how could it be fixed?
[23:39] <Phoenixz> or at least improved?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: running:  uname -a  shows the running kernel. You can use software centre to remove what isn't needed
[23:42] <rhizmoe> Phoenixz: you should get more ram if you want to run 3G vm's
[23:42] <bekks> Nonsense.
[23:43] <bekks> Before starting the VM, take a look at free -m
[23:43] <bekks> It will tell you how much RAM is left including caches.
[23:44] <Phoenixz> rhizmoe: Running only 1 VM? Thats 8-3 =5 for kubuntu.... Should be way more then enough..
[23:44] <Phoenixz> rhizmoe: and it does not explain why virtualbox starts swapping like crazy
[23:44] <Phoenixz> I just disabled swap, and now it runs acceptably...
[23:44] <bekks> ps -ef and free -m will explain it.
[23:45] <bekks> And take a look at the swappiness on your box, which is a setting in /etc/sysctl.conf
[23:46] <Ziber> So I'm watching a youtube video, and it's stupidly sped up. Maybe I have to upgrade flash player or something?
[23:47] <Phoenixz> bekks: more then enough available.. I'll check swapiness yeah
[23:47] <Schuenemann> danub, I can't believe it's stuck there in the same point
[23:48] <cascadia> danub: I edited grub to force the menu to appear at boot. So now it shows up. What now?
[23:48] <Phoenixz> Set swapiness to 5.. basically, my dev compu should NOT swap
[23:49] <danub> then there is something wrong. It probably cant access the disk or something. I had this problem back with ubuntu 8.04 not playing nice with my jmicro raid controller. it could access the disk and just sat there. I haven't had the problem in a long time though so i dont know how to fix your problem or where to view the install logs at
[23:49] <danub> cascadia: i dont know. what are you trying to do? move /home to a different disk or something?
[23:50] <Ziber> Seem to have some issues when watching youtube videos, it plays faster than normal. Any ideas for a fix?
[23:50] <chaospsychex> Can u untu be installed on the samsung galaxy s ii?
[23:50] <PlayingNaked> bleachbit is hanging or something- any suggestions on how i might kill it? I sure hope its not wiping my windows dir
[23:50] <cascadia> danub: Goal is to be able to boot into the GUI without it throwing up an error, like it has been doing, and returning me to the login screen.
[23:51] <|Long|> my crontab job does not start as time schduled can someone plz help?
[23:51] <danub> what is the error it is throwing? you said you had a HD crash... did it wipe out everything?
[23:52] <danub> |Long|: what does the entry look like in cron?
[23:52] <|Long|> danub, here 0 20 * * *           /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_0day.sh  auto
[23:52] <|Long|> 10 20 * * *         /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_0day.sh close
[23:52] <|Long|> 12 20 * * *        /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_mp3.sh  auto
[23:52] <|Long|> 14 20 * * *       /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_mp3.sh close
[23:53] <|Long|> it was time started at 19 i just changed
[23:53] <danub> you are doing it wrong
[23:53] <Ziber> Could a problem with flash lead to sped up youtube videos?
[23:54] <danub> it would be '0 20 * * * program to run > output
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> |Long|: do you have a desktop UI?
[23:54] <|Long|> ok, let me change it now
[23:55] <|Long|> ActionParsnip, yes i did installed that GUI version but didnt started
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> |Long|: how do you mean 'didn't started'?
[23:56] <|Long|> cuz it was set at 0 19 but nothing happened
[23:56] <Schuenemann> can anyone tell me what is wrong with my attempt to install ubuntu with a pendrive? This is the 2nd time the installation simply hangs at about 40%
[23:57] <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] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, the log says "asking for cache data failed"
[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
[23:58] <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] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: The youtube video just plays at a faster rate than it should. Which is an odd error.
[23:58] <Casey> i need help with a small problem in a sh script
[23:58] <Casey> i need to change sec to mins
[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] <Casey> RUNTIME="Remaining Runtime: $REMAINING_RUNTIME Seconds"
[23:59] <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
