| PlayingNaked | glitsj16, i ran sudo ubuntu-tweak - yet i still cannot run "clean" Maybe i need to do soemthing different? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| glitsj16 | PlayingNaked: mix up, i thought you were still refering to bleachbit, never used ubuntu-tweak sorry | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: you could also try running: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null | 00:00 |
| Schuenemann | !persistence | 00:01 |
| ubottu | To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | 00:01 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: what's that do? also http://pastebin.com/0Zm2tsvJ | 00:01 |
| PlayingNaked | ActionParsnip, familiar how i might be able to purge these old kernels in ubuntu-tweak? "Clean" is not available even launching as root | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: it does something with hardware accelleration in flash, can help | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: also run: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer | 00:02 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, if I get internet access do I still need that persistence? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | PlayingNaked: if you can pastebin the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image I can give a command | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: if you can get it on the system you want to install to then it's not really needed as you can just update in the live environment. If the system is a laptop you can use a wired connection and install updates etc there (makes life easier) | 00:03 |
| Ziber | restarting chrome, let's see what that did. | 00:03 |
| Ziber | no effect. | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: same in other browsers too? | 00:04 |
| Ziber | i'll try firefox. sec. | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: if you make a new ubuntu user, is it the same? | 00:04 |
| Ziber | i could also try that too. | 00:05 |
| PlayingNaked | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095852/ | 00:05 |
| Ziber | actually it's far too slowed down in FF. | 00:05 |
| Ziber | now im confused. | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: ok then run: sudo rm /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | 00:05 |
| Ziber | Okay. | 00:06 |
| Ziber | Want me to try another user still? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | PlayingNaked: and the output of: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 00:06 |

| ActionParsnip | proofy: does it work in cheese? | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis | dead_mike, what kind of optical disk is it? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jagst3r15: the ones installed most recently will be the ones you installed from backports, you can reinstall those packages | 00:31 |

| dead_mike | Dr_willis: consumer-grade CD | 00:31 |
| Schuenemann | it would be really nice if anyone had a solution | 00:32 |
| Jagst3r15 | ActionParsnip well the thing is I don't want the backports there ;) but you think it eats up any memory having them installed anyway (if they were - I can't really tell if they were but I assume that they were) | 00:32 |
| === kyt_0 is now known as kyt_x | ||
| Dr_willis | dead_mike, so its a normal data cd that you or someone else made? | 00:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Jagst3r15: doesn't eat up memory at al.. | 00:33 |
| dead_mike | Dr_willis: someone else made it - it contains .wav files. The gnome popup sees it as an audio CD when I insert it. | 00:33 |
| Schuenemann | is there a way to see if the live usb creation went fine? | 00:33 |
| Schuenemann | not talking about the ISO hash | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: I believe you can mount the storage and change directory to the mount point and run: md5sum -c MD5SUM | 00:33 |
| glitsj16 | RaverX3X: glxinfo ? | 00:33 |
| SLenN | Sup | 00:34 |
| RaverX3X | facepalm | 00:34 |
| dead_mike | Dr_willis: But I don't see how that matters - it should be just another block device storing some bits | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: the MD5SUM may be different, it's a file in the USB | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | dead_mike, an AUDIO cd is one you dont mount if its playable in a normal cd player. some file managers can show them as containign .wav or other audio files as a feature of the filemanager | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | could be dirt on the very start of the disk, or in the drive. thats being skipped past when accessing the cd normally | 00:35 |
| dead_mike | Dr_willis: ok, I'll check | 00:35 |
| Schuenemann | ActionParsnip, this MD5SUM file does not exist | 00:35 |

| Eitan | hey guys. i am hammering a new ubuntu server with tons of connections, i was running centos for my application before with no problems... For some reason i am getting a lot of connection time outs when establishing connections both mysql 3306 and redis 6397... first i found that syn flood protection was blocking some stuff, so i managed to turn that off. but im not sure to see where else or | 02:42 |
| Eitan | why else connections are timing out as far as logs or perhaps if its a ulimit issue? | 02:42 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, you screwed up the /dev/sdb table.. you should use GUI tools to do partitioning.. it should not say FAT16 for a big drive.. (i doubt it is a FAT16 filesystem there) | 02:49 |
| DarkAceZ | I installed a newer version of the NVIDIA driver manually, and blindly. | 02:49 |

| DarkAceZ | I don't think I touched that, unless you're saying it's from my NVIDIA fail... | 02:50 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, you did.. because partitioning tools wouldnt make that mistake.. | 02:51 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, q quits, you can select the device with one of the commands.. then hit 'p' to print its table | 02:56 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, if you're in parted's prompt, you type "select /dev/sdb" to select it, then "p<enter>" should print the table and say whether its gpt or not | 02:57 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, from bash, it ought to work, "parted /dev/sdb p" | 02:57 |
| DarkAceZ | "Model: ATA Hitachi HDT72502 (scsi)"? | 02:57 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, it may say "mbr" instead of "dosmbr" | 02:58 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, it'll say ntfs instead of fat16 (it doesnt touch the partitions, but updates the id in the partition table) -- it's safe | 03:08 |
| bossollie | ActionParsnip: i enterd that command which you posted and i got this http://pastebin.com/Z2SxYSQd anything else? | 03:08 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, partition content and the partition table are two separate blocks on the disk | 03:10 |
| bossollie | user13 imn trying to install wine | 03:10 |
| DarkAceZ | I'm all mixed up XD | 03:10 |

| bossollie | something is keeping me from locking adminsitration | 03:11 |
| bossollie | apt thinks something is running and synaptic as wel.. which neither are | 03:11 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, it's benign most of the time to have an "improper" id for your partition, but there may be times that the mount would be "stricter".. and mount would fail for that ntfs partition | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bossollie: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 03:12 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, (btw you may need to type sudo for that sfdisk command) | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bossollie: you added the quote thingy to the end | 03:12 |
| bossollie | i did do that command | 03:12 |
| bossollie | ok | 03:12 |
| usr13 | bossollie: So what else do you have running that is using apt? | 03:12 |
| bobol | usr13...entangle...camera "tethering" getting a glib-2.0 dependency not met error (>=2.26.0) ...tried ' export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/glib-2.0'? | 03:12 |

| bossollie | i did that command without the quotses and i got this pastebin.com/mNCfgJwu | 03:13 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, "Done." | 03:14 |
| usr13 | bobol: What package? | 03:14 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, I believe you had a friend you formatted that drive, because fat16 is like dead 20 years ago | 03:14 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, fdisk -l /dev/sdb , would now say ntfs | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkAceZ: have you tried Precise, the newer kernel and drivers may make the card reader work | 03:14 |
| bossollie | www.astebin.com/mNCfgJwu is that suposed to happen? | 03:15 |
| HerrRiz | Is this an appropriate place to ask for help with pptpd? | 03:15 |
| bobol | usr13, what package is dependency not met, or what is the original source package? | 03:15 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, you changed the "id /dev/sdb1 to 07 | 03:21 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, is what i meant.. | 03:21 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, what is /dev/sdb1 ? | 03:21 |
| bobol | usr13, wine and play-on-linux already installed | 03:21 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, file -s /dev/sdb1 ? | 03:21 |

| bobol | usr13, see above, i pasted a link to the source tarball | 03:22 |
| pawan | hello | 03:22 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, then its fine to have it set as 07 which you did.. | 03:22 |
| usr13 | bobol: Why don't you just use the package manager? | 03:22 |
| pawan | no wired connections | 03:22 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, you're new to partitioning, and I would suggest gpartedlive cd in the future (gparted does both steps, partition table and filesystem formatting to the partitions) | 03:23 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, do the same thing i told you for /dev/sdc1 .. see if its formatted with "file -s /dev/sdc1" | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: apt-get uses a package manager ;) | 03:23 |
| bobol | usr13, cause it's not a .deb package...trying to compile from source?...cause only package avail is .rpm for fedora? | 03:24 |

| bobol | ActionParsnip, thanks anyway...apparently this is super easy and i'm just missing the big red letters at the top, so to speak? | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: the site http://www.getdeb.net/software/Entangle says it has Oneiric and Precise debs for the app, if you use Oneiric or Precise it will install | 03:31 |

| jagginess | DarkAceZ, is there an sdhci module? | 03:39 |
| pisecx | is anybody familiar with it? | 03:39 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, unable to locate package entangle...? | 03:40 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, i'm on oneiric | 03:40 |
| jagginess | pisecx, the user in question isnt allowed to open up as a service, try making a system user for that process | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: it has an oneiric branch | 03:40 |
| DarkAceZ | I did "sudo lsmod |grep -i sdh" and there was no output. Then I did "modprobe sdhci" and still none, then "fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0" and still none, jagginess | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: if you run: sudo apt-get update do you see getdeb or playdeb | 03:41 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, so what was i missing...where did you find the repository info? | 03:41 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, one sec | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: yeah you should see getdeb | 03:41 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, did this sd slot work before? (on winbloze?) (be sure -- if its an "onboard" that the bios' setting has the sdcard slot to "on") | 03:42 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, grepping it now | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: if you run: grep -R getdeb /etc/apt/* do you get an output? | 03:42 |
| pisecx | jagginess: it is a good way? or maybe it's better to install mod_jk and apache and interconnect tomcat and apache? | 03:42 |
| jagginess | pisecx, by default apache listens on port 80. | 03:42 |
| jagginess | pisecx, netstat -plutn |grep 80 , would show if port 80 is already occupied | 03:43 |
| pisecx | jagginess: yes, I know. I can install apache and put all traffic throught it to tomcat | 03:43 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, actually, I was running apt-get update | grep getdeb..let me stop that and try that | 03:43 |

| Licantropo | hola | 03:50 |
| Licantropo | hi | 03:50 |
| DarkAceZ | ActionParsnip, hmm, yeah! But that'd be a pain to boot into every time I wanna move some files to it XD | 03:50 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, can you tell me if you have an mmc module? ( find /lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic |grep mmc ) | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: the page you gave said to use the playdeb repo, there was a linkto that which you could have clicked, then you would have found the 'how to add playdeb' page there and installe the app using apt-get or software centre | 03:51 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, bunch more output | 03:51 |

| ActionParsnip | bobol: read the website you gave, you'll see what I did. ou could have done all this yourself :) | 03:52 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, can you tell me if its there for x41 (your running kernel, i dont need for the others) ? | 03:52 |
| DarkAceZ | ActionParsnip, yeah. (You do know I have Precise installed somewhere else, right?) | 03:52 |
| jc | i need it works as fast it could! | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: it can be beneficial to have a seperate /home partition but it's not necessary. The default install method is fine :) | 03:52 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, never mind, you just went to the home page where it explains all of that..now i feel extra dumb...thinking they should include an information link for those that didn't arrive there from the home page...you know, for nimrods like me...thank you for the help and the patience.. | 03:52 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, what is in lsmod? (lsmod |grep mmc ) ? | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: its all ok dude, its why the community is here :) | 03:53 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, lol nothing | 03:53 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, what mmc modules is listed for your kernel? mmc_block ? | 03:53 |
| jc | <ActionParsnip>, i need the laptop works faster | 03:53 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, how would I find that out? XD imma noob | 03:54 |
| jc | what do you recommend me ! | 03:54 |
| jagginess | "DarkAceZ, can you tell me if you have an mmc module? ( find /lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic |grep mmc )" | 03:54 |
| DarkAceZ | oh | 03:54 |
| === Canis___ is now known as Canis__ | ||
| jc | it is peintium 4 and 256 ram | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: partitioning a single disk into seperate home won't make it faster | 03:54 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, try modprobe mmc_block if you have it, then modprobe sdhci | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: I'd go for Lubuntu, its sleek and made for 256Mb RAM systems (and higher) | 03:55 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, then I want you to see kernel message with-> dmesg | tail | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: I'd try and get more RAM in it, it is cheap | 03:55 |
| OerHeks | jc, then add more ram, 256 is just enough for lubuntu, xubuntu runs better with 512 | 03:55 |
| jc | ok | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: the CPU is more than likely sufficient for Lubuntu as it's a P4 | 03:55 |
| jc | but lubuntu seem like xubuntu | 03:55 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, thanks again...unfortunately the last week/month/2months has whipped me into a level of frenzy and unbalance that is starting to bleed through in all facets of my life...tanks for the reminder and the help..would buy you a beer right now if i could | 03:55 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, cheers.. | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: hehe i'd love one but I'm at work. Although 2 hours to go now | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: you'll learn the OS as you use it :) | 03:56 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, http://pastebin.com/VB9RxKmm < I'll let you look for it, since I'm not sure what I'm looking for :P | 03:56 |
| jc | <OerHeks> it looks like xubuntu? | 03:57 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, try modprobe mmc_block , then modprobe sdhci, see what messages the kernel burps with->dmesg | tail | 03:57 |
| OerHeks | jc no. lubuntu looks a little different. | 03:58 |
| jc | but the terminal, the software and other are similar | 03:58 |
| OerHeks | jc see See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 03:59 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, http://pastebin.com/2w6PFDeq < output | 03:59 |
| jc | im on it | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: yes all the under the bonnet stuff is identical, just the GUI and default apps are lighter | 03:59 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, appreciate the encouragement..but just rushing and not using all me senses...would still like to know the proper procedure for resolving unmet dependencies when compiling from source, so that i can get that procedure down..but that's a story from a different time and place.. | 03:59 |
| jc | thks | 03:59 |
| jc | thks ActionParsnip | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: it gets messy compiling from source, you need all the -dev packages for everything the package you are compiling, needs. Then compile. | 04:00 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, if it makes you feel any better about being at work, this is officially my first less than 75 hour week in 6 mos... | 04:00 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, feels good for half a second | 04:01 |
| jc | may i install the Lxde interface graphical on xubuntu | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: wow nice, I do 48 hour weeks but I work 4 days (12 hour shifts, then 4 days off) | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: sure if you want | 04:01 |
| jc | ok | 04:01 |
| jc | thks | 04:01 |
| jc | how can i fin it in the terminal? | 04:02 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, unplug the sdcard for 3-4 seconds then replug it.. then do-> dmesg | tail ... i'll see if theres any new messages | 04:02 |
| jc | find* | 04:02 |
| DarkAceZ | okies | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: sudo apt-get install lxde | 04:02 |
| jc | ok | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: if you want to use lxde then I'd just install lubuntu | 04:02 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, that gets tiring too...i at least get to thin mine out, and work from home..(otherwise, i'm pretty sure i'd be a basketcase right now...and by that i mean "it puts the lotion in the basket"-case... | 04:02 |
| darkideal | I've noticed that there are some missing areas where the right click doesn't have a menu popup in 12.04, I was wondering if there was a way to restore this. IE: right clicking the gnome classic panel to add another panel or add something to a panel. | 04:03 |
| jc | is to avoid to install again th O.S | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: ahh you have xubuntu already installed? | 04:05 |
| jc | yes | 04:05 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, a module for ricoh ought to be loaded if you have ricoh controller hardware ( lspci -nn |grep -i ricoh , would say ) | 04:05 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, my computer is really, really awful, or you're a genius! I switched USB ports (This is my 3rd different one!) and it auto-mounted! So either it was you, or my old computer :P | 04:05 |
| jc | im trying it but it is a bit slow | 04:05 |
| jc | hahah | 04:05 |
| DarkAceZ | Either way, thanks veeery much for your time! | 04:05 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, it was something we did because you said sdhci wasn't loaded.. | 04:06 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, and once you do modprobe, you don't have to type it again on the next reboot.. | 04:06 |
| jc | and i dont want to lose the installed software and updates | 04:06 |
| DarkAceZ | thanks! | 04:06 |
| darkideal | Any ideas? | 04:06 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, it's a usb dongle? | 04:06 |
| jc | but how ever, im goint to download lubutu as well | 04:06 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, I was asking if it was an onboard sometime ago.. | 04:06 |
| trism | darkideal: alt+right click to edit the panel (or maybe alt+super+right click) | 04:07 |
| DarkAceZ | USB dongle wasn't working, so I got a camera that I knew worked | 04:07 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, btw, what does ->dmesg |tail say? just curious on the nameing of the device | 04:07 |
| jagginess | (so it can help me in the future) | 04:07 |
| DarkAceZ | [ 7312.277225] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdh] Write Protect is off | 04:08 |
| DarkAceZ | (etc etc) | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jc: then install the lxde package, log off then log in to the lxde session | 04:08 |
| bobol | ActionParsnip, thanks again for the clear head and the patience...i've unfortunately used up my one hour of doing something for me, before i get back to moving, and then work..but you truly helped, so i thank'ee and wish you well until next time... | 04:09 |
| jc | ok | 04:09 |
| darkideal | awesome, that helps a lot trism. What about selecting text or links and right clicking for options? | 04:09 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, I'm seeing low speed usb device reset.. that must of been it. "[ 3060.192641] usb 2-2: reset low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3" | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bobol: no worries dude | 04:09 |
| jc | i've | 04:09 |
| bobol | thank you all for the efforts, trism and usr...have a good one... | 04:09 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, looks like there was an issue with that usb port 1 way or another.. | 04:10 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, whenever you see "reset" in dmesg then it's problematic.. | 04:10 |
| DarkAceZ | ah, OK. | 04:11 |
| DarkAceZ | did you like, code the drive systems? :P | 04:11 |
| trism | darkideal: that should still be as usual, gnome-panel just changed the key sequence to alt+right click for editing the panel in gnome 3 | 04:11 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, last time i got a reset message was when i purchased like a 1 dollar usb 2.5 enclosure from hongkong.. (soon after that old test machine resetted everytime i plugged in that usb gadget) | 04:12 |
| darkideal | weird, I'm right clicking links, and I'm not even getting a menu. | 04:12 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, dont jump too soon.. | 04:12 |
| DarkAceZ | XD | 04:12 |
| trism | darkideal: strange, in what application? | 04:12 |
| DarkAceZ | loool, I tried the card on a $1 reader too | 04:12 |
| DarkAceZ | I got from ebay | 04:13 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, when there are problematic drivers, it can cause problems for other devices .. so you better fix that nvidia problem :) | 04:13 |
| darkideal | mozilla, using the gnome classic | 04:13 |
| jagginess | DarkAceZ, if you reboot your machine with your current nvidia issue, there's always the speculation it may be a source hazard | 04:13 |
| DarkAceZ | jagginess, only two problems I saw: permission denied for two NVIDIA drivers. | 04:13 |
| DarkAceZ | It randomly prints those: Changing the perms makes the errors go away: but nothing changes | 04:14 |
| jagginess | [ā] :) Checking out!! asta lavista | 04:15 |
| jagginess | ! | 04:15 |
| jagginess | gn :) | 04:15 |
| trism | darkideal: weird, maybe your alt key stuck? is it trying to resize the window? | 04:15 |
| darkideal | nope, I have my right click on other things, and if I highlight the text and use my menu key on the keyboard it works properly | 04:16 |
| trism | darkideal: maybe you have an extension capturing it? do you have many installed? | 04:18 |
| JoshDreamland | Can anyone tell me the new and improved name of the Sun JRE package? | 04:18 |
| darkideal | new install of 12.04. Didn't have any problems with previous versions. | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | JoshDreamland: its oracle now | 04:19 |
| darkideal | I just noticed that my right click functionality has been limited since then. | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | JoshDreamland: they aren't in teh official repos | 04:19 |
| JoshDreamland | well, that's obnoxious | 04:19 |
| darkideal | *since the install | 04:19 |
| JoshDreamland | thanks, ActionParsnip | 04:19 |
| trism | darkideal: touchpad/ | 04:20 |
| JoshDreamland | is there a package with a GDB-friendly version of openJDK's JRE in it? | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | JoshDreamland: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html# | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | JoshDreamland: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html | 04:20 |
| darkideal | nope. regular mouse, I've unplugged the receiver several times. seems like my touch pad isn't working..hmm. | 04:20 |

| haylo | well its dissappointing when people change things for no reason | 05:22 |
| Pihro | i have heard many horrible rumors so i stick to 11.10, maybe you can use the software center to find a plugin? | 05:22 |
| haylo | it makes it difficult to learn, and devalues peoples time | 05:22 |

| wajeemba | Hello, I'm trying to plan out how to best share my home directory across an Ubuntu-Win7 dualboot install- right now I have moved the windows home dir to it's own partition.

| wajeemba | blueeagle: interesting, but not quite what I originally had in mind- are you suggesting that I format my shared home partition as NFS? Keep in mind that this is a one-machine dualboot setup.. | 05:45 |
| yannick_ | pawan | 05:45 |
| yannick_ | try ipv4 | 05:45 |
| paulus68 | Hey Actionparsnip welcome back :) | 05:46 |
| yannick_ | just an idea | 05:46 |
| BlueEagle | wajeemba: No, I suggest that you get hold of a cheap old laptop and set it up with storage and Ubuntu server. That way you can have it run automatic backups as well! Locally I have a 64GB SSD and a 500GB storage disk for games and stuff. The irreplacable stuff is handled by the server. | 05:48 |
| Nighty___ | Hello, a question... I got a server running ubuntu 12.04, i see a high memory usage but using smem, im using just a 6% of the ram, but free says that im using like the 95% | 05:48 |
| BlueEagle | Nighty___: ...and? | 05:49 |
| daggs123 | wajeemba, http://pastebin.com/PAXt3zAQ | 05:49 |
| Nighty___ | BlueEagle it's okay to have around 90% of my ram in nowherE? :/ | 05:49 |
| BlueEagle | Nighty___: Is cache nowhere? | 05:50 |
| wajeemba | daggs123: think you meant to send the pastebin to ActionParsnip ;) | 05:50 |
| BlueEagle | Nighty___: It is better to utilize 90% of your RAM instead of having it just sit around doing nothing, isn't it? | 05:50 |
| daggs123 | ActionParsnip? | 05:50 |
| Nighty___ | BlueEagle yes, i understand that, but the system will free it as needed? | 05:51 |
| daggs123 | wajeemba, right, my bad | 05:51 |
| BlueEagle | Nighty___: If not you will receive "Out of memory" errors. | 05:51 |
| wajeemba | np | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | daggs123: is the system a laptop? | 05:51 |
| BlueEagle | Nighty___: What you really should be concerned about is swap file usage as that is there you loose performance. If you're not overusing swap space then you're fine. | 05:52 |
| ert | Yes Nighty___, don't worry | 05:52 |

| BlueEagle | Nighty___: If you read the output from Free it is something like: 2061748 1903124 158624 0 243956 1195688. The last number is the cache. This is memory that holds data that the computer knows what is for so if another request comes for that data it will read it from memory instead of from disk. | 05:54 |
| Nighty___ | Yeah yeah I know that, but its the first time that I see so high numbers | 05:54 |
| Katelyn | does anyone know what I'm talking about? | 05:54 |

| yannick_ | stop that plz | 05:57 |
| Katelyn | like, for ripping graphic purposes from SNES games | 05:58 |
| Katelyn | you have to zoom in and view the pixels and whatnot | 05:58 |
| Katelyn | but in linux, rather than seeing the pixels | 05:58 |
| Katelyn | it just...blurs the image | 05:58 |
| azbyin | guys, can someone tell me the license for the sounds on ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| Vilsepi | Katelyn: how do you do this zooming, by taking a screenshot and zooming in on the picture in a picture viewer program? | 05:59 |
| azbyin | i am wondering if i can use the pop/click sound in a (possibly) commercial project i am working on | 05:59 |
| Katelyn | Vilsepi: yes | 05:59 |
| yannick_ | wich sound? | 05:59 |
| Katelyn | scrolling the wheel on the mouse | 05:59 |
| Vilsepi | Katelyn: which picture viewer program? | 06:00 |
| azbyin | yannick_, all the sounds | 06:00 |
| azbyin | eg, email comes in, i get a pop sound | 06:00 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:00 |
| Pihro | to my knowledge EVERYTHING in ubuntu is open source and free to the public, so i would assume it is ok, but i would research first just in case | 06:00 |
| yannick_ | don't know sorry | 06:00 |
| Katelyn | "Image Viewer" 3.4.2 - The GNOME image viewer. | 06:00 |
| Katelyn | but really, it happens in every one I've tried | 06:01 |
| Vilsepi | Katelyn: did you try image _editing_ software like GIMP for example? | 06:01 |
| zykotick9 | Pihro: that isn't even close to being true... | 06:01 |
| Katelyn | gimp works fine, but | 06:02 |
| yannick_ | ok? | 06:02 |
| Pihro | alright :P i apologize for my ignorance | 06:02 |
| Katelyn | I'd rather not have to boot gimp up | 06:02 |
| Canadian1296 | I'm setting up a minimal install with the mini.iso disk. At the package selection menu, when I choose manual package selection, I immediatly get 300 some unresolved conficts. Its installing 150 some packages, and the same packages again (but marked i386), and the two are conflicting. I finished the installation to see what would happen, and it won't boot. Any ideas? | 06:02 |
| yannick_ | no worry | 06:02 |
| yannick_ | !patience maybe | 06:03 |
| Pihro | the risk of being wrong is why i said i would research before doing so | 06:03 |
| paulus68 | is there a way to block TOR (addon firefox anonymous proxy) through squid | 06:03 |
| Vilsepi | Katelyn: hmm, I'm betting the blurriness is a "chosen" quality for the image viewers | 06:03 |
| cumnor | where can I find compiz help? | 06:04 |
| Katelyn | ...wow | 06:04 |
| Katelyn | I'm an idiot | 06:04 |
| yannick_ | ... | 06:04 |
| Katelyn | Vilsepi: there was an option for it | 06:04 |
| cumnor | I finally have a video card that supports compiz...but I don't know how to run compiz | 06:04 |
| yannick_ | why? | 06:04 |
| Vilsepi | Katelyn: hehe well good that you found it. On Windows, in IrfanView for example, the blurriness is also an option as some people prefer it to look better | 06:05 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:05 |
| yannick_ | sorry for that | 06:06 |
| Vilsepi | obviously with SNES stuff, you like crisp and blocky :) | 06:06 |
| ewerton | What software to Ubuntu for me to record my screen? | 06:08 |
| herpderpmadman | ok so i just broke my install thanks to zeitgeist, the pos that for some reason someone decided was a good idea to make default. cause you know with all the privacy crap going on on social networks and with other pc applications, lets take a linux distro and throw that on there too | 06:09 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:09 |
| herpderpmadman | http://tty0.in/J <-- my log from trying to uninstall it | 06:10 |
| herpderpmadman | took out nautilus and gedit | 06:10 |
| herpderpmadman | that makes a ton of sense | 06:10 |
| herpderpmadman | does anyone have a clue on how to remove this crap? | 06:11 |
| yannick_ | !patience | 06:11 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:11 |
| jmercouris | remove what crap? | 06:11 |
| herpderpmadman | or is it just "disable and shut up" | 06:11 |
| yannick_ | yep | 06:11 |
| SwedeMike | ewerton: screenshot (picture) or video? | 06:12 |
| ewerton | video | 06:12 |
| xfactor | besides just trial and error how do you learn linux is there a good book to get you started? | 06:12 |
| yannick_ | yep but pointless in this room | 06:12 |
| MikeS11 | xfactor: It depends on what you want to do. General desktop usage? | 06:13 |
| ewerton | I want to record videos on Ubuntu. | 06:13 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: all you have to do is configure zeitgeist not to log, a quick websearch would have shown you how too | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: try taking your tinfoil hat oof, breathe and then sort the issue | 06:13 |
| xfactor | yeah i guess that was kinda vague. i come from old school dos cli and i am looking to transfer that to cli linux | 06:14 |
| herpderpmadman | ActionParsnip: I dont want to configure it not to log. I want it to not be on my system. | 06:14 |
| SwedeMike | ewerton: http://alicious.com/videomovie-screen-capture-programs-for-ubuntu-linux/ is a list of some you might try. | 06:14 |
| herpderpmadman | trust me ive done some nice searching already | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: if it's not logging then its not collecting any of your precious data. | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: so you have nothing to fear | 06:14 |
| ewerton | I'll see, ty | 06:14 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:15 |
| Vilsepi | xfactor: surely there are plenty of books, but i think google and "man" command is your friend. Like "man ls" for example (quit man by pressing Q). | 06:16 |
| gitesh | ok. so, i have installed kubuntu-desktop. How do i switch between kubuntu and ubuntu 12.04 LTS ? | 06:16 |
| herpderpmadman | ActionParsnip: i totally understand what your saying and I know that it isn't doing anything. But that does not push away the fact that it still resides on my system on my hard drive. | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: why is that a bad thing? | 06:16 |
| yannick_ | so? | 06:17 |
| yannick_ | !patience | 06:17 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:17 |
| herpderpmadman | Because it makes me feel as though I have no control of my system. What is the software world coming to when I can't even uninstall a piece of software forced on me ON MY OWN SYSTEM. | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: lose the caps, I can read lower case just fine | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | herpderpmadman: because packages are dependant on each other in a tree like fashion so if you pull something out it may break deps and make the OS want to uninstall other packages | 06:18 |
| jmercouris | ActionParsnip: YOU CAN READ LOWERCASE? | 06:18 |
| snarkpit | I changed my theme to darklooks, which has white text on a black background, but as a result the gnome help program now has black background and black text. How do I fix that? | 06:19 |
| === HeliusCron is now known as wrenny | ||
| jmercouris | snarkpit: you can change the color settings of the theme by going to theme color options | 06:19 |
| snarkpit | jmercouris I get that, but the color options are white text on black, which is what I want. It's just on the gnome help, the background changed to black, but the text stayed black too instead of going to white. | 06:20 |
| nafcool | hey guys | 06:20 |
| nafcool | i'm in real trouble | 06:20 |
| yannick_ | go ahead | 06:21 |
| nafcool | i installed ubuntu | 06:21 |
| jmercouris | Cool story bro, why don't you space out your problem in more posts | 06:21 |
| nafcool | and yesterday it crached | 06:21 |
| jmercouris | Oh wow, your world is just about over, better throw your computer out the window | 06:21 |

| nafcool | and then i installed Ubuntu again | 06:21 |

| ubottu | jmercouris: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 06:21 |
| nafcool | coz i had to access my files | 06:21 |
| yannick_ | ok | 06:21 |
| nafcool | and when i use disk uititlty | 06:22 |
| jmercouris | snarkpit: I found an article, is this what you are trying to do :http://askubuntu.com/questions/70599/how-to-change-tooltip-background-color-in-unity | 06:22 |
| nafcool | it shows that drive obn which i had installed the previous ubuntu | 06:22 |

| nafcool | plz. help | 06:22 |
| paulus68 | is there a way to block TOR (addon firefox anonymous proxy) through squid | 06:22 |
| bazhang | nafcool, keep it all on ONE line | 06:22 |
| yannick__ | thanks a lot | 06:23 |
| snarkpit | jmercouris My deep ugly secret is I'm running Debian on here. I forgot Ubuntu had adapted the Unity thing, so I didn't think it'd make a difference. haha. I'll see if that tweek still applies, though. Thanks dude. | 06:25 |
| nafcool | http://i.imgur.com/FBiM4.png | 06:25 |
| nafcool | the selected drive is which i want to access............plz. help | 06:25 |
| jmercouris | snarkpit: no problem, good luck | 06:25 |
| jmercouris | nafcool: why don't you just mount it using the mount command in terminal? for usage on this command type in 'man mount' into terminal | 06:26 |
| nafcool | jmercouris: alright i'll try | 06:26 |
| nafcool | jmercouris: thanks | 06:26 |
| jmercouris | nafcool: and just to give you a hint you'll probably want to type in 'mount -l -t' and then when it shows you all the mounted drives, select the one you want and just mount it | 06:27 |
| nafcool | ok | 06:28 |
| Vilsepi | nafcool: make a directory somewhere and then type "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /path/to/my/created/dir" and then your partition sda6 should be accessible in that new dir | 06:29 |
| jmercouris | Vilsepi: that is not necessary, he just needs to mount it | 06:29 |
| === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug | ||
| nafcool | how do i change partition type? | 06:48 |
| aviraldg | nafcool, I think it'd be a better idea to ask about your actual problem instead of that. | 06:48 |
| nafcool | aviraldg: I've asked it and they told me to use 'mount' command but that too isn't working | 06:49 |

| Shucky | DarwinSurvivor, at the end? | 07:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shucky: did you type ":monrepo ." or ":monrepo.git ." on the ubuntu computer? | 07:09 |
| Shucky | i type exactly this: git clone gitosis@url.com:monrepo.git . | 07:09 |
| wereHamster | how can I tell apt-get to not try to restart any services? I'm trying to apt-get upgrade a lxc container from the host (using chroot...) | 07:09 |

| Shucky | ok | 07:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shucky: if you put "monrepo.git" it should have said that "monrepo.git" is not a repository, not "monrepo" is not a repository | 07:11 |
| Shucky | yes i know it's very strange | 07:11 |

| DarwinSurvivor | !details | kanupatar | 07:18 |

| kanupatar | glibc-devel package is found in which repo? i am using the ubuntu 12.04 lts | 07:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shucky: can you do a local test? "mkdir test; cd test; git init; cd ..; git clone test test2"? | 07:20 |
| kanupatar | when i tried to install ltib | 07:20 |
| kanupatar | DarwinSurvivor: it is a script | 07:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: how are you trying to install it (software center, terminal, etc), where are you getting ltib from (main repo, .deb file, ppa, etc)? | 07:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: then link to the script | 07:21 |
| kanupatar | DarwinSurvivor: it is custom | 07:21 |
| kanupatar | glibc-devel, zlib-devel , ncurses-devel ,zlib not found | 07:21 |

| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: well, it doesn't appear on my system's repo. | 07:23 |
| kanupatar | DarwinSurvivor: where I can find this? | 07:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: if a custom installation script (which is a HORRIBLE way to install ANYTHING) is screwing up, you need to contact the author of that script to resolve the issue. If you would like help installing tlib using the *supported* method, we will be glad to help you | 07:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shucky: did the local test work? | 07:25 |
| Shucky | yes | 07:26 |
| kanupatar | DarwinSurvivor: i am excited where we can find glibc-devel ,zlib,zlib-devel and ncurses-devel can be found? | 07:26 |

| brandon | Hi, I just installed a partition of ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook pro, only to run a specific program. I have some command line experience, but I can't figure out how to install the application. I downloaded the binary ".rpm" file for it, do I need something else? | 07:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: I have no idea where you can find that. You need to contact the script author to solve this problem! | 07:27 |
| DJones | !rpm | brandon | 07:27 |
| ubottu | brandon: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 07:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | brandon: which application are you trying to install? | 07:27 |
| kanupatar | DarwinSurvivor: why script author? why it is not in the repo? | 07:27 |
| brandon | its called pkTriggercord | 07:27 |
| Shucky | i have lot of other repo and y have the same message for all (DarwinSurvivor) | 07:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | kanupatar: the script is trying to install something that is not in the repo (or at least is named differently), which means the script is NOT compatible with Ubuntu 12.04 (or possibly any Ubuntu). You need to contact whoever wrote the script and tell THEM to fix it! | 07:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | brandon: you'll probably have better luck compiling from source | 07:30 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | brandon | 07:31 |
| ubottu | brandon: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 07:31 |
| dreckboun | anybody here? | 07:32 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Shucky: if you hav gotten in the habbit of installing lots of applications that use install scripts or PPA's, chances are you are going to run into BIG problem soon. 90% of the time someone in this channel has trouble installing something, it's PPA or script related. | 07:32 |

| sbarcteam | since strace is just a program. | 07:51 |
| Kartagis | sbarcteam: even if we are on the same server? | 07:51 |
| sbarcteam | As long as your user is privileged enough for both remote login AND strace basic operations | 07:51 |

| Shart | Hi guys, I need some help with Ubuntu server. When system boot up it starts xinit with some graphical program. But I need to hide all system messages on screen before starting X server. I set quiet mode in /etc/default/grub.conf, but this doesn't help, it prints some text before starting xinit... | 08:14 |

| ikonia | sulaiman: that can't be the case | 08:19 |
| ikonia | sulaiman: if the resolution is the same | 08:19 |
| Shart | You can change dpi | 08:19 |
| Shart | Or font size | 08:19 |
| ikonia | that would not change the physical size though | 08:19 |
| ikonia | the size of the screen would be the same | 08:20 |

| kristenbb | hi. can someone please help me to figure out what's wrong with my ubuntu 12.04 desktop computer. I have installed it just a few weeks ago, didn't install anything, and the system partition, which has more than 100G, is already full. | 08:30 |
| kristenbb | for example, /var/log apparently has more than 10GB, this seems just impossible | 08:31 |
| darkevil011 | you on it now? | 08:32 |
| kristenbb | I have ssh access | 08:32 |
| kristenbb | here is an example of a command, though I'm not sure it's relevant: http://pastebin.com/wVAs1QTU | 08:34 |
| sp3ck | kristenbb: nope it's possible as you see. read those logs and post them somewhere. post the part of the log file, from last boot until the current time. | 08:34 |
| darkevil011 | in your home dir one of the hidden files always got real big for me something like .xsession my box is still bootingā¦ do a "ls -a" | 08:34 |
| === rob is now known as Guest102 | ||
| sp3ck | kristenbb: prefer kern.log | 08:35 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: "du -m /var/log" to find out which folder is big, then ls -lSr in that folder | 08:37 |
| kristenbb | darkevil011: nothing on ls -a -h of /home seems to be overly big, yet it adds up to more than 50GB, which is not possible. There's not a single music/video, only a few text files. | 08:37 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: du -m /var/log shows only 1 for all entries, except 9768 for /var/log | 08:38 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: du -m | sort -n in /home will put biggest things last | 08:38 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: so ls -laSr /var/log | 08:38 |
| kanupatar | hi guys, got all other dependencies ..now two are remining glibc-devel and zlib...tried apt-cache search but not found in my 12.04..can i get any help from you guys? | 08:39 |

| kristenbb | dooglus: yes indeed, kern.log.1 is 8.5G. Is this expected behaviour ?! I'm just the desktop version, this is way too much logs. | 08:41 |

| bipul | i want to change the hostname but i am unable to do it http://paste.ubuntu.com/1096277/ | 08:44 |
| darkevil011 | looks like your trying to open edit over ssh yeah? | 08:44 |
| darkevil011 | *gedit | 08:44 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: in any case that's just one of the problems, apparently. Because that just accounts for 10GB, and there are 100GB total that are unexplained. | 08:44 |
| dooglus | bipul: log in with 'ssh -X user@host' - then gedit should work | 08:45 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: but let's fix that. | 08:45 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: how about you install teamviewer or something so I can take a look? | 08:45 |
| digital22 | it doesnt show any newtorks | 08:45 |

| bipul | no man i am not login in any ssh account it is just my normal bt5 system | 08:45 |
| auronandace | !hostname | digital22 | 08:45 |
| ubottu | digital22: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 08:45 |
| dooglus | bipul: why is your groupid 0(root)? | 08:46 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I have teamviewer. But launching it from command line isn't easy. | 08:46 |
| auronandace | bipul: we don't support backtrack here | 08:46 |
| bipul | i have changed it to 0 is that i can edit it in hostname | 08:46 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: you don't have a desktop machine? | 08:46 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I do | 08:47 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I am just not home. | 08:47 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: can you run a graphical enviroment on that, and access the machine with the disk space problems fom there? | 08:47 |
| dooglus | oh I see | 08:47 |
| bipul | it's just simple file permission linux concept that's why i am asking | 08:47 |

| kristenbb | dooglus: but head -n 10000 will not parse the whole file | 09:22 |
| bekks | And sorting the kern.log alphabetically is just nonsense. | 09:22 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: I'm sorting the lines after taking out the timestamps so that identical errors will be adjacent - then uniq -c can count them | 09:23 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: sorting is slow | 09:23 |
| dooglus | if you just want to page through it, use 'less' | 09:23 |
| bekks | Dont use it at all for passing it to sed. | 09:23 |
| bekks | Run sed inline | 09:23 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I don't want to manually read it either | 09:24 |
| dooglus | so kern.log is 10GB, kern.log.1 is also 10GB - do you have other kern.log* files in there that are big too? | 09:24 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: no, sorry for the confusion. Only kern.log.1 is 10GB | 09:24 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: you'll find sort runs a lot faster if you 'export LC_ALL=C' first | 09:24 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: kern.log is 300M | 09:25 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: and growing? or is the disk full? | 09:25 |
| MonkeyDust | ocx what you can do: backup you personal files and fresh install 12.04 | 09:26 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: well yeah probably full, I don't know | 09:26 |
| dooglus | kern.log.1 is the previous version of kern.log | 09:26 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: df -h . will tell you if the disk is full | 09:26 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I know | 09:26 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: df -h . where ? | 09:26 |
| dooglus | in the folder you want to know if it's full | 09:26 |
| kristenbb | 85% | 09:26 |
| dooglus | like in /log say | 09:26 |
| kristenbb | 88 i mean | 09:27 |
| ocx | 12.04 for ARM is available? | 09:27 |
| dooglus | oh, ok | 09:27 |
| kristenbb | size 77, used 64 | 09:27 |
| kristenbb | maybe it was not 100 after all then? | 09:27 |
| ocx | my system is ARM based | 09:27 |
| MonkeyDust | ocx http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm | 09:27 |
| kristenbb | i don't know the exact number, but 77 makes sense. I thought it was slighly more though. | 09:27 |
| bekks | kristenbb: Just pastebin df -h | 09:27 |
| dooglus | so the problem wasnt caused by a full disk - so we're not going in circles :) | 09:28 |
| kristenbb | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 77G 64G 9.3G 88% / | 09:28 |
| dooglus | something has messed up the ecryptfs which is causing it to spam kern.log | 09:28 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: well you don't know that, because I just removed a bunch of stuff | 09:28 |
| dooglus | 9.3G of stuff? | 09:28 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: well yes as a matter of fact | 09:29 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust: is arm an officially supported platform for ubuntu (or is it a community port like ppc)? | 09:29 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I just removed kern.log.1 to another disk | 09:29 |
| dooglus | I see | 09:30 |
| dooglus | I think if it was me I would follow the steps in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/372014/comments/21 | 09:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 509180 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "duplicate for #372014 ecryptfs sometimes seems to add trailing garbage to encrypted files" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 09:30 |
| kristenbb | I now have less than 5GB of personal files in /home. All the rest is just programs (well, firefox, mostly) and the rest is unaccounted for. | 09:30 |
| dooglus | backing up first, if the files are important | 09:30 |
| MonkeyDust | auronandace dunno | 09:30 |
| kristenbb | that would just remove the files of length 0, right ? | 09:31 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: that would just remove the files of length 0, right ? | 09:31 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: yeah | 09:31 |
| kristenbb | am I forced to create a file to do that ? | 09:32 |
| kristenbb | or can I send it in the terminal ? | 09:32 |
| dooglus | I dont think so | 09:32 |
| dooglus | just in the terminal is ok | 09:32 |
| dooglus | the $ prompt should change to a > after the 1st line | 09:32 |
| kristenbb | I pasted it there. It appeared with > before the lines | 09:32 |
| kristenbb | yes | 09:32 |
| kristenbb | now what, just 'enter' ? | 09:33 |
| dooglus | yeah | 09:33 |
| kristenbb | a bunch of errors occured | 09:33 |
| dooglus | pastebin 'em? | 09:33 |
| kristenbb | the first one is Specified filename find does not exist. | 09:33 |
| === Lloir|ZzZz is now known as Lloir | ||
| kristenbb | then there's also rm: invalid option -- 's' | 09:34 |
| dooglus | ugh | 09:34 |
| dooglus | because one of the filenames begins with a dash I guess | 09:34 |
| dooglus | does this list files? | 09:35 |
| kristenbb | well not on the screen | 09:35 |
| dooglus | for i in find $(mount | grep " on $HOME type ecryptfs" | awk '{print $1}') -size 0c; do echo " $i"; done | 09:35 |
| kristenbb | only the errors where displayed | 09:35 |
| kristenbb | this echo displays: find and /home/kristen/.Private and -size and 0c | 09:36 |
| dooglus | that script is all kinds of wrong then... | 09:36 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| kristenbb | then why would you want me to execute it, are you trying to break it even further ? :( | 09:37 |
| lagonaV | histo, i'm trying to do an upgrade and i get "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! python-debtagshw", is it safe to install ? | 09:37 |

| dooglus | what does this show mount | grep " on $HOME type ecryptfs" | awk '{print $1}' | 09:38 |
| Muelli | The_Explorer: which driver? i.e. the non-free one? | 09:38 |
| The_Explorer | non-free current, Muelli | 09:38 |
| dooglus | the guy in the askubuntu thread says that that script worked for him | 09:38 |
| dooglus | I guess he's mistaken | 09:38 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it shows /home/kristen/.Private | 09:39 |
| Muelli | The_Explorer: :-( Sorry. Don't know anything about that. Any reason you're using the non-free one/ | 09:39 |
| The_Explorer | non-free -> need Glibs support | 09:39 |
| bekks | The_Explorer: Would you mind to explain what "errors" mean. | 09:39 |
| The_Explorer | rather because they have it | 09:39 |
| The_Explorer | bekks, gnome-shell fails to load, duplicates panels on attempt (They stack wierdly), second server remains raw/blank. no idea how to start environments on it (seperate from other screen) | 09:41 |
| auronandace | i wasn't aware gnome-shell supported multiple monitors | 09:41 |
| bekks | The_Explorer: Then we need the explanation of what you have been doing exactly. | 09:41 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: find /home/kristen/.Private/ -size 0c | while read x; do if ! fuser -v $x; then rm -f $x; fi; done | 09:42 |
| kristenbb | the find alone fails | 09:42 |
| === luka is now known as Guest31643 | ||
| dooglus | kristenbb: how? | 09:42 |
| The_Explorer | <auronandace> even if gnome-shell doesnt support dual monitors, It should support the first one, the second monitor should be seperate | 09:42 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: find /home/kristen/.Private -size 0c returns find: `/home/kristen/.Private': No such file or directory | 09:43 |
| The_Explorer | bekks, I put in new card -> previous default was "twinview" spanned desktop. Changed monitor 2nd to new gpu, 1xmonitor per card. Powered on. Lightdm resolution error (primary monitor unchanged) | 09:44 |
| The_Explorer | then from there, bekks; I deleted "xorg.conf" and made new one autogen. used nvidia-settings set up new server, on second, saved and rebooted. | 09:45 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: this will recreate it: ln -s /home/.ecryptfs/kristen/.Private /home/kristen | 09:45 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: be quick because it's shrinking by the minute lol. df -h . now shows: available: 9.0G. I did nothing since, but it was 9.3 a few minutes ago. | 09:45 |
| dooglus | lol | 09:46 |
| The_Explorer | Got unity 2d, lxde, gnome (classic) to boot on primary, second monitor remains naked. | 09:46 |
| snarkpit | Is there any way to get a run bar built into the GNOME taskbar? I know you an add the run applet, where you can click on it and get a run popup box. But what I'd like is the run bar to be built right into the taskbar, so I can easily just type in the name of an application without the extra click and extra window | 09:46 |
| dooglus | kern.log is growing I bet | 09:46 |
| paulus68 | I work with squid when I use the username password it's working now I added pivoxy and instructed squid to pass through pivoxy however the user and password that are working correctly in squid are not recognized any thoughts? | 09:46 |
| The_Explorer | I can use the second monitor via (run in terminal) right clicking, or via "DISPLAY=:" variable | 09:46 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: probably. though you said it would only grow if it's full, which it aint | 09:47 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: I think you misunderstood. it can't grow if the disk is full, only if it isn't | 09:47 |
| dooglus | so run that ln command, then try the find again | 09:48 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: didn't you say these ecryptfs errors would only occur if that disk was full ? | 09:48 |
| dooglus | perhaps. the ecryptfs errors are caused by zero length files in .Private, and those can be caused by a full disk | 09:49 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| dooglus | but perhaps they are also caused by something else too | 09:49 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: kern.log is now 397M. I don't remember what it was before, but it wasn't 0, so kern.log is not the only problem :( | 09:49 |
| The_Explorer | let me ask a different way: I want to learn how to change the display variables to Xserver. How do i modify the window manager to allow more than one instance of a window manager? | 09:49 |
| bekks | kristenbb: Did you provide the output of "df -h" already? | 09:50 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: yeah there are a few errors apparently | 09:50 |
| kristenbb | bekks: df -h shows /dev/sda5 77G 65G 8.9G 88% / the others are different disks, it's irrelevant. | 09:50 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I did this ln -s. | 09:51 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: Now what? | 09:51 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: find /home/kristen/.Private/ -size 0c | while read x; do if ! fuser -v $x; then rm -f $x; fi; done ? | 09:51 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: now find /home/kristen/.Private/ -size 0c | 09:52 |
| super_ | why is it i cant use ffmpeg on ubuntu12.04? | 09:52 |
| dooglus | to test if it finds anything | 09:52 |
| super_ | it is telling me something about avconv | 09:52 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: doesn't | 09:52 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: still doesn't exit | 09:52 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: still doesn't exist | 09:52 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: what ln command did you run? | 09:52 |
| kristenbb | wait sorry I mistyped, find works | 09:53 |
| dooglus | should be: ln -s /home/.ecryptfs/kristen/.Private /home/kristen | 09:53 |
| dooglus | ok | 09:53 |
| dooglus | find finds stuff? | 09:53 |
| dooglus | if so, add on the rest of the command while read ... | 09:53 |
| super_ | <spent the whole installing ubuntu 12.04, it wouldn't installed because of nvidia graphic card had to hold shift and type live nomodeset | 09:53 |
| kristenbb | yes it fills my screen, I had to stop it | 09:53 |
| super_ | day* | 09:53 |
| super_ | and now I can't run ffmpeg what do i need to do? | 09:54 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's still executing | 09:54 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: are you sure it's not deleting important stuff? | 09:54 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: ok | 09:54 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: yes | 09:54 |
| paulus68 | I work with squid when I use the username password it's working now I added pivoxy and instructed squid to pass through pivoxy however the user and password that are working correctly in squid are not recognized any thoughts? | 09:55 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: not important to me, anyway ;) | 09:55 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: still executing... | 09:55 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: come on ! | 09:55 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: check the free disk space | 09:55 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: how I only have one terminal | 09:55 |
| dooglus | ok | 09:56 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's done | 09:56 |
| super_ | does ubuntu 12.04 support ffmpeg? | 09:56 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: so what a I left with | 09:56 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's still 89% full. | 09:57 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ yes | 09:57 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: hopefully now it will stop filling up | 09:57 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: ... | 09:58 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: try "tail -f var/log/kern.log" | 09:58 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I have to go soon,but I'll be back | 09:58 |
| dooglus | that will update in real time each time something gets written to the file | 09:58 |
| dooglus | so you'll be able to see if it's still getting new ecryptfs errors | 09:58 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: well yeah it is | 09:59 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's crazt | 09:59 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's crazy | 09:59 |
| dooglus | lots of ecryptfs errors appearing? | 09:59 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: it's not that fast, but like one message every 2-3 seconds | 09:59 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: yes | 09:59 |
| super_ | MonkeyDust how do i refresh ubuntu12.04? | 09:59 |
| dooglus | same messages still? | 09:59 |
| bouma | why does ubuntu not have kbibtex anymore ?? | 09:59 |
| super_ | on linux mint Alt+F2 and type r will let me refresh the desktop | 10:00 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ not sure what you mean by 'refresh' | 10:00 |
| kristenbb | ecryptfs_do_create: Failure to create dentry in lower fs; rc = [-17] OR ecryptfs_create: Failed to create file inlower filesystem OR some other errors like that | 10:00 |
| kristenbb | but all related to ecrypfs | 10:00 |
| super_ | refresh the ligthdm | 10:00 |
| super_ | do i need to ctrl+alt+f1 | 10:00 |
| super_ | sudo service lightdm stop? | 10:00 |
| super_ | and restart | 10:00 |
| super_ | or logout and back | 10:00 |
| kristenbb | I'm gonna have to go for a while, I'll be back in half an hour or so, I hope you will still be there | 10:00 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: can you reboot the machine? | 10:00 |
| super_ | but thats too many steps | 10:00 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: I doubt it. | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ logout brings you to lightDM, ctrl-alt-f1 gives a CLI | 10:01 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: how about logging out fully all the kristen users? | 10:01 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: how do you mean? | 10:01 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: to give the ecryptfs filesystem a change to umount itself | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what have you done and tried before you came here | 10:01 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: are you logged on to it at home in the gui? | 10:01 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: yes | 10:01 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: can you log yourself out? is there stuff that needs saving? | 10:02 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: and I don't quite remember what's opened | 10:02 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: that would be risky | 10:02 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: are you sure it's required? | 10:02 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: no - but its probably best | 10:02 |
| PrinzPfeifi | hello | 10:03 |
| kristenbb | dooglus: isn't it only Windows that requires to reboot every time something gets wrong? | 10:03 |
| dooglus | lol yeah | 10:03 |
| dooglus | just logging out is enough | 10:03 |
| PrinzPfeifi | i am new here =) | 10:03 |
| kristenbb | well that's just as bad | 10:03 |
| super_ | gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false | 10:03 |
| super_ | i did this and now i want to refresh my desktop | 10:03 |
| dooglus | I'd save what needs saving then k ill all the kristen user processes | 10:03 |
| super_ | so that the scrollbars will disappear | 10:03 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ yes, you could try to logout | 10:04 |
| super_ | without logout how would i refresh it? | 10:04 |
| kristenbb | how would I save something as a openoffice file from command line | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb gnome-open | 10:04 |
| super_ | on linux mint there was no need to logout | 10:04 |
| dooglus | kristenbb: openoffice saves its own files regularly doesn't it? | 10:04 |
| dooglus | it offers to recover them when you restart it | 10:04 |
| super_ | all i had to do was alt+f2 and type r | 10:04 |
| kristenbb | I'm gonna have to go now, sorry, I'll be back in half an hour as I said. | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | super_ yeah, that's one of the differencs between ubuntu and mint | 10:04 |
| kristenbb | real sorry, and takes for your help this far | 10:04 |
| dooglus | k | 10:04 |
| kristenbb | see you soon | 10:04 |

| ocx | any dreamplug owner? | 10:06 |
| PrinzPfeifi | its not really a bug | 10:06 |
| PrinzPfeifi | i just need help in usage of cairodock i think... | 10:06 |

| Oxnard_Dogg | GROWL not running any browser when i click 'shields up' | 10:24 |
| MonkeyDust | ocx not sure what you mean, why not download it? what's a dreamplug box? | 10:24 |
| ottoshmidt | is there a program that gives me a name of a package that contains certain file? | 10:24 |
| ottoshmidt | even if that package isn't installed | 10:24 |
| kishen | MonkeyDust thank you | 10:25 |
| MonkeyDust | ottoshmidt try apt-cache policy or apt-cache show | 10:25 |
| ocx | http://code.google.com/p/dreamplug/downloads/list | 10:25 |
| LjL | ottoshmidt: apt-file, but maybe it'll be easier to just go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 10:25 |
| ottoshmidt | on ArchLinux there is pkgfile | 10:25 |
| ocx | this is what is available for my dreamplug hardware | 10:25 |

| psilo23 | Hi everyone, i am wondering something, i am having some problems with my ubuntu 11.10 system, and when i start Top i see a CPU state that i cant seem to find in the man page, its teh ID state | 10:51 |
| psilo23 | Can anyone tell me what it does mean ? | 10:52 |
| Seveas | psilo23, do you mean this line: Cpu(s): 10.6%us, 3.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 85.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st ? | 10:54 |
| andand | hi | 10:54 |
| === nyuszika7h is now known as Guest63432 | ||
| psilo23 | Seveas: yes | 10:54 |
| Seveas | psilo23, section 2c of 'man top': CPU States | 10:55 |
| psilo23 | i think its the available percentage then, thats all i needed to know because somehow my pc is getting a bit -laggy- so to call | 10:55 |
| psilo23 | Seveas: i checked it but it didnt say ID | 10:55 |
| Seveas | id = idle | 10:56 |
| psilo23 | but now i see that its about the same on ur system i know enough :D | 10:56 |
| psilo23 | yeah just wanted to be sure | 10:56 |
| Aritz_ | MonkeyDust: at whick level they are lost? what function that called? i need the details and prove. | 10:56 |
| aetoxx | How can I know how much memory a printer has? | 10:57 |
| species | give it progressively longer number sequences | 10:57 |
| species | like an IQ test | 10:57 |
| aetoxx | I find it unquestionably stupid that a driver asks me what hardware I have installed in the printer. | 10:58 |
| species | your best bet is probably manufacturers information | 10:58 |
| Seveas | aetoxx, read its manual? | 10:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Aritz_ don't know exactly, it's the only difference between udp and tcp that i'm aware of | 10:58 |
| aetoxx | Why can't it just read that information out of some data structure where every component registers itself? | 10:58 |
| Seveas | or if it's a fancy one, make it print its self test/system config page | 10:58 |
| species | aetoxx: some also tell you when you boot them, or have an info screen in their firmware | 10:58 |
| Aritz_ | MonkeyDust: thx anyway | 10:58 |
| aetoxx | Seveas, it's a small<->medium business one. | 10:58 |
| aetoxx | Seveas, it has a web interface, etc. | 10:59 |
| Seveas | it probably has that info in the web interface. Or at least a button to ptint its config settings | 10:59 |

| Hfuy | Hello. | 11:12 |
| Hfuy | I'm looking for an OS to replace Win7 on my Lenovo Ideapad S12 (the Ion version). | 11:12 |
| Hfuy | Ubuntu has been suggested, but I'm not sure what the best way is to check compatibility. | 11:12 |
| xrdodrx | Hfuy: boot an ubuntu live disk and see if everything works | 11:13 |
| Hfuy | There is some information about the S12 on help.ubuntu.com, but it's a couple of years out of date. Can anyone suggest anywhere to look? | 11:13 |
| Hfuy | Tricky - no DVD-ROM drive on these. | 11:13 |
| xrdodrx | a live usb is possible too | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Hfuy: you'll have to google the chipsets/components linux support, then check that against the versions of software installed in the ubuntu release you want to use | 11:13 |
| digital22 | hi, could someone help me get my alfa card to work? | 11:13 |
| Hfuy | ikonia: Ehhh. That sounds like something I'd rather give a miss. | 11:14 |
| ikonia | no problem. | 11:14 |
| psilo23 | Hfuy: i guess u can run it from usb | 11:14 |
| Hfuy | Well possibly I can, but does anyone know how | 11:14 |
| psilo23 | how what ? | 11:14 |
| Hfuy | how "u can run it from usb" | 11:14 |
| ikonia | !install | Hfuy | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Hfuy: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Hfuy: the last link in that info | 11:15 |
| Hfuy | The only reason I'm looking at this is that I don't do very heavy work on the laptop, and it's pig slow running Win7. | 11:15 |
| psilo23 | yeah its all over the website, infact if you choose to download ubuntu from the website it will ask you if you want to run it from usb | 11:15 |
| Hfuy | I'm not aware there's any particular reason Ubuntu would be faster, but I thought it was worth a try. | 11:15 |

| Hfuy | What are the chances that doing this USB boot thing will damage any information that's already on the laptop's SSD? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Hfuy: none | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Hfuy: the link gives you pretty much all the info you need | 11:17 |
| psilo23 | xrdodrx: i answered him in a PM, because i wanted to give him a non ubuntu url and didnt want to spam urls in here | 11:18 |
| psilo23 | js ;) | 11:18 |
| Hfuy | I'm just a little concerned that obviously the NTFS filesystem driver has been reverse-engineered and I seem to recall at some point there were some reliability concerns. | 11:18 |
| xrdodrx | a non-ubuntu URL? pretty sure that's not anywhere close to against the rules psilo23 | 11:18 |
| psilo23 | it was to help him | 11:18 |
| psilo23 | lol | 11:19 |
| psilo23 | but okay i just dont want to spam urls in here | 11:19 |
| psilo23 | Hfuy: you can boot in linux from usb safely, dont worry | 11:19 |
| xrdodrx | Hfuy: if you're just booting from the disk your SSD will never be touched unless you mount it | 11:19 |
| Hfuy | ...which I would have no idea how to do anyway. | 11:19 |

| BluesKaj | Hey all | 11:22 |
| psilo23 | Hey BluesKaj | 11:22 |
| Hfuy | *is* there any reason to assume Ubuntu would be faster? | 11:22 |
| Hfuy | And I mean reasons beyond "omg linux is teh win" etc. | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | psilo23, hi | 11:23 |
| LjL | Hfuy: not really | 11:23 |
| psilo23 | Well i can only tell you my own experience, when i was running windows on my old laptop it was very slow, booting slow, etc | 11:23 |
| Hfuy | Hmm. Okay. | 11:23 |
| psilo23 | Now i run Ubuntu it doesnt even use 50% of the resources | 11:23 |
| psilo23 | not even close | 11:23 |
| psilo23 | lol | 11:23 |
| psilo23 | While at windows it would use all the ram, get laggy because it used most cpu etc | 11:23 |
| Hfuy | The reason I ask is that Win7 is obviously using its... well, it isn't a GL compositor, it's a direct3D compositor, but you know what I mean. | 11:23 |
| Hfuy | Whereas linux would be doing it all on the CPU. | 11:24 |
| LjL | Hfuy: nope | 11:24 |
| LjL | Hfuy: Ubuntu uses an OpenGL compositor | 11:24 |
| psilo23 | I have to admit that i use Lubuntu, Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop, i dont know how usefull that one would be for you | 11:24 |
| Hfuy | By default? | 11:24 |
| LjL | Hfuy: if your card supports it | 11:24 |
| Hfuy | Hm. When'd they start doing that? | 11:24 |
| psilo23 | just beofer you came in the channel | 11:24 |
| psilo23 | *before | 11:24 |
| psilo23 | :P | 11:24 |
| LjL | Hfuy: a while ago. initially it was Compiz on GNOME 2, now it's Compiz integrated with Unity i believe | 11:25 |
| Hfuy | Last time I seriously used Linux was when Red Hat became Fedora Core Whatever in about 2004. | 11:25 |
| Hfuy | It sucked. | 11:25 |
| Hfuy | It was the most painful, unpleasant computing experience I've ever had, so I'm a bit cautious. | 11:25 |
| LjL | Hfuy: the only thing is, by default Ubuntu comes with open source drivers for your graphics card, which for a variety of cards may not be the most performant. so when/if it offers you to install proprietary drivers instead, you should take into account the fact they may improve GUI compositing performance | 11:26 |
| digital22 | hello? | 11:26 |
| Hfuy | Ah, yes, I did once set up Compiz on an eee-pc. It did eventually work quite well, but again it was pain and suffering to get it that way. | 11:26 |
| Hfuy | LjL: Ah. Hmm. How linuxy :/ | 11:26 |
| === odium is now known as Guest56513 | ||
| LjL | Hfuy: well not Linux's fault if card makers can't get convinced to make their drivers open source :\ | 11:27 |
| Hfuy | I couldn't give half a blade of grass if the drivers are open source or not, I'm not a coder. | 11:27 |
| LjL | Hfuy: well other people care, even if they're not coders. | 11:27 |
| LjL | Hfuy: at least the option to use the proprietary driver is there and easily accessible | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | I should make one thing clear before we go any further: I don't care about open source. Open source is completely and utterly irrelevant to anyone who isn't a professional software engineer, which is so near to everyone that it barely matters. | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | the phrase "you can modify the software yourself" is true only if you have the source code AND you are a software engineer. | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | I am not, QED. | 11:28 |
| LjL | Hfuy: well this is not the place to debate whether open source is relevant to you or not. but the fact of the matter, whether you and I like it or not, is Ubuntu at least attempts to separate open-source from closed-source components. if you don't like that, use a distro that doesn't do that. | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | If they're making things work less well, or increasing work for lay users because of open source politics, that's stupid. | 11:29 |
| maplesoft | what is the package name for java development kit and java runtime enviremnet? | 11:29 |
| kristenbb | hi, i'm back. | 11:30 |
| LjL | Hfuy: i disagree, but again this is not the place for that argument. feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss it | 11:30 |
| maplesoft | openjdk-7-jre is jdk or jre? | 11:31 |
| kristenbb | so I still have issues with my system that fills up my hdd. Can someone help me please ? | 11:31 |
| LjL | maplesoft: jre | 11:31 |
| Hfuy | I can't find out what graphics hardware this thing is supposed to have. | 11:31 |
| maplesoft | LjL and what is the jdk package name? | 11:31 |
| LjL | Hfuy: if you're already on Ubuntu, "lshw -C display" should tell you | 11:31 |
| Hfuy | I'm not. | 11:31 |
| LjL | maplesoft: openjdk-7-jdk | 11:31 |
| Hfuy | Apparently, "nvidia ION" describes the entire chipset. | 11:32 |
| Hfuy | "with integrated geforce 9400M G GPU" | 11:32 |
| maplesoft | LjL if i install openjdk-7-jdk . it will install jre automaticall? | 11:32 |
| Hfuy | Oh, that's a concern: if I use Windows Media Player to play HD videos on this thing, it will use the Ion hardware acceleration. If I use VLC, it won't. | 11:33 |
| Hfuy | This isn't a dealbreaker, but I assume Ubuntu will be entirely unable to use the acceleration? | 11:33 |
| LjL | Hfuy: not entirely, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1745698 for instance. apparently MPlayer with vdpau can do it | 11:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | Hfuy, mplayer can, but due to your behaviour i will not explain how | 11:33 |
| Hfuy | I'll take that as a "basically no" then. :) | 11:34 |
| LjL | Hfuy: well you just won't be able to do with it VLC (it seems) | 11:34 |
| Hfuy | It's just odd to have a situation where WMP is faster than VLC. It's rare, but it happens! | 11:34 |
| LjL | Hfuy: well i'm reading VLC's wiki and it seems there is something for it as well, but from the looks of it it isn't very integrated and easy to use yet http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_GPU_Decoding#Linux | 11:36 |
| kristenbb | my hdd gets filled up by my system for no reason. /var/log/kernel.log.1 takes 10 GB. What can I do about it? | 11:37 |
| Hfuy | LjL: I think that's the same situation we were in about two years ago. | 11:37 |
| Mattias | Hfuy: you need to use your nvidia card to play the videos, using vlc or mplayer | 11:37 |
| Hfuy | There is a check box I believe for it in the Windows version of VLC, but it doesn't work. | 11:38 |
| LjL | Hfuy: anyway just to check, you're aware you can get a rough idea how well Ubuntu will work on your system by trying the live CD? of course it'll be slow because it needs to load stuff from a slow medium, but you should be able to test the hardware compatibility and a bit of the performance | 11:38 |

| susundbe1g | mh i remember i had the problem using vnc for our corporate intranet and dns didnt somehow work and i solved it by adding entry to hosts file | 11:49 |
| susundbe1g | m3ga: see also host.conf that seems to define the resolution order | 11:50 |

| kristenbb | can someone help me please regarding my 12.04 system which seems to have a bug in the kernel ? | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | m3ga, you could add it to the /etc/network/interfaces file , /etc/resolv.conf is over written by resolvconf and network manager | 11:51 |

| manixor | Hello guys, how can I install an older package, like pidgin 2.7.11? | 11:55 |
| BlouBlou | manixor: why? | 11:56 |
| ki4ro | . | 11:57 |
| jezi22 | where is the best place to place permanent environment variables and start up commands? | 11:58 |
| manixor | BlouBlou: I think the current version is not supporting Office Communicator, even if I install pidgin-sipe | 11:58 |
| BlouBlou | manixor: I don't think it's a good idea, but you have to add old repos (11.04, 11.10, or whatever it was), and ONLY reinstall pidgin. I think you have to force version so it would downgrade. After it, disable that repo and don't upgrade that packages | 11:58 |
| manixor | BlouBlou: And I rememmber that with an older version was worked. | 11:59 |

| kristenbb | can someone help me please regarding my 12.04 system which seems to have a bug in the kernel ? | 12:14 |
| Boogeyman | kristenbb, what kind of bug? | 12:15 |
| karanga | loldma: look at the android app called skifta. They only way I can see a way around your problem is to connect a cheap low powered computer to your projector and stream content from your phone via skifta but this defeats the object and would cost more than the media link I imagine. :o( | 12:15 |
| Hfuy | loldma: I'm a video engineer by trade; can you repeat your question? | 12:15 |
| kristenbb | Boogeyman: it is filling my system parititon for no reason. /var/log/ is a few GB, though it's a desktop edition, with only a few weeks. | 12:15 |
| karanga | who | 12:15 |
| kristenbb | Boogeyman: kern.log.1 is 10GB. | 12:16 |

Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | loldma, i have an older nvidia graphics card the geforce 7600gt which uses dvi outs , such a card would be what you need for your projectot , and it does a fine job on hidef video. I use an a dvi to hdmi adapter cable to this TV with no loss in performance . Don't know if such asetup is dlna spec'd tho | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | projectot=projector | 12:18 |
| Hfuy | BluesKaj: DVI to HDMI is just a connector pin conversion, there wouldn't be any loss in performance except in certain edge cases. | 12:18 |
| Boogeyman | kristenbb, well, thats a bit over my head, lol is it the stock kernel from the repo? | 12:18 |
| kristenbb | Boogeyman: I don't know but it's a 12.04 so can't be that old | 12:18 |
| bouma | does anyone use kbibtex? i really need to use it, i know its previously been in ubuntu.. was it removed . its not easy to find info on this question. im using 11.10 | 12:19 |

| BrotherGA2 | Hope this is the right place to ask. I'm looking to install Ubuntu for general usage and development, while keeping windows for gaming and other apps. How should I make my decision on whether to use a VM, Wubi, or Partition my HD? Is there a way to switch between these while keeping settings/apps? (I have a non-switchable Nvida GPU, btw) | 12:19 |
| bouma | well i was using a local mirror. im going to set it back to the main site and reupdate and hope the package turns up magically | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | BrotherGA2, non-switchable Nvida GPU ? | 12:21 |
| Seveas | BrotherGA2, migrating settings/apps between ubuntu installs is easy. | 12:21 |
| BrotherGA2 | BluesKaj: well, I heard there are issues for Optimus GPUs (I'm on a laptop) | 12:21 |
| Seveas | as to your original question: partitioning your harddisk will give you the fastest ubuntu | 12:21 |
| Boogeyman | kristenbb, like i said, thats over my head. if it were me and google wasnt turning up any answers, i'd start a thread in the forums, and if that didnt help, i'd just back up my home folder and reinstall from scratch | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | BrotherGA2, ok , gotcha , altho bumblebee might work | 12:22 |
| K-Lab | anyone have experience creating a volume on a msa ? | 12:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | BrotherGA2, Stay far, far away from wubi.. | 12:23 |
| BrotherGA2 | Seveas: Really? If so, then I might start out with a VM, and switch to a partitioned install if I'm disatistied with the performance. Should I expect graphics hardware acceleration work fine in a VM? | 12:23 |
| Seveas | BrotherGA2, "it depends". I've had no luck with it | 12:23 |
| Boogeyman | kristenbb, i'm used to helping people who know absolutely nothing about computing, and by knowing where to find the log file, i'm guessing you know as much if not more than i do, lol sorry I cant be of any help | 12:23 |
| Seveas | I'd pick wubi over vm | 12:23 |
| kristenbb | Boogeyman: thanks anyway. | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Seveas: you surprise me | 12:24 |
| kristenbb | so can someone else maybe help me to figure out why my system uses 100GB even though there's nothing in it? | 12:24 |
| BrotherGA2 | Sidewinder1: haha. allright. VM v. Partitioned. But since migrating settings is supposedly easy, I shouldn't have a problem, right? | 12:24 |
| * Sidewinder1 Is surprised, as well.. | 12:24 | |
| BrotherGA2 | I've had issues with wubi before, but it was a few years ago. I haven't used ubuntu since around 10.04 | 12:25 |
| Nick3 | one nice thing running a VM versus partitions is the snapshot feature, really nice if you're new to Linux | 12:25 |

| gitesh | HI | 12:26 |

| MonkeyDust | wubi is not the most obvious or best way to install ubuntu | 12:26 |
| MonkeyDust | theSurvivor type fg 1 | 12:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | BrotherGA2, I have two machines, both with some ver. of Win. and ubuntu; partitioning is the way to go. You will not be able to go from one to another without rebooting but the settings should remain. I'm not intimately familiar with VM as I don't have a lot of RAM.. | 12:26 |
| K-Lab | anyone have experience creating a volume on a msa ? | 12:26 |
| BrotherGA2 | Boogeyman: I've installed it before. It's simple enough, I just ran into problems last time I installed it. | 12:26 |
| gitesh | I just had Fun by pressing Ctr+Alt+F1. thanks :D | 12:26 |

| tyler_d | really makes me love people | 12:53 |
| DeltaHeavy | aetoxx: Pretty much. IMO I'd only reccommend Ubuntu to desktop users who don't know *NIX systems. | 12:53 |
| DeltaHeavy | ANd don't want to learn *NIX | 12:53 |
| aetoxx | DeltaHeavy, so, what do you recommend to smartasses? | 12:54 |
| DeltaHeavy | And at this point I don't even know. I'm wondering if I'm unlucky as hell or if Ubuntu 11.10 has some serious stability issues | 12:54 |
| tyler_d | DeltaHeavy, I don't recommend anything. I tell people whatever they are using is the best solution out there | 12:54 |
| DeltaHeavy | aetoxx: For what purpose? | 12:54 |
| aetoxx | DeltaHeavy, server and desktop. | 12:54 |
| tyler_d | aeplus, whatever you are using now is perfect | 12:54 |
| sipior | tyler_d: interesting strategy. i like it. | 12:55 |
| medicineman | i've been pretty solid user of 10.04, but 12.04 xubuntu is awesome | 12:55 |
| medicineman | no unity | 12:55 |
| aetoxx | I think there is no real difference between most systems. | 12:55 |
| aetoxx | I can make Windows looks like Linux if I wanted. | 12:55 |
| aetoxx | AndLinux, anyone? | 12:55 |
| tyler_d | but that's such an open statement aetoxx | 12:55 |
| DeltaHeavy | aetoxx: For somebody framiliar with *NIX, CentOS for both although there are a lot of good options for both. For Desktop for people who don't know *NIX I'm not 100% sure but probably SuSe or something. I'd reccommend Ubuntu usually but I don't know anymore TBH, not trying to start an argument | 12:55 |
| aetoxx | DeltaHeavy, yeah, well, I think Ubuntu is fine. | 12:56 |
| bazhang | !ot | DeltaHeavy aetoxx | 12:56 |
| ubottu | DeltaHeavy aetoxx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:56 |
| DeltaHeavy | aetoxx: The way something looks and the way something functions is totally diffeerent. If you think there's not much of a difference I"d assume you're very unknowlegable about the subject. | 12:56 |
| aetoxx | It's just that I don't see the 'added value' that businesses would obtain. | 12:56 |
| medicineman | ArchLinux = win | 12:57 |
| bazhang | DeltaHeavy, aetoxx thats enough | 12:57 |
| tyler_d | completely inaccurate and vague... but sure, good for you | 12:58 |
| tyler_d | p.s. I love getting booted off the interwebs at random | 12:58 |
| aetoxx | Ok, I get it now: you get a Knowledge Base. | 12:58 |
| aetoxx | So, basically providing good documentation would eat into the Ubuntu business model. | 12:59 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: documentation is provided on https://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com | 12:59 |
| aetoxx | Well, that certainly explains a few things. | 12:59 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, low-quality documentation. | 12:59 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: then don't use it, or ammend it yourself, it's a public wiki | 12:59 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, what would 'the knowledge base' then be for? | 12:59 |
| sipior | aetoxx: if you're looking to throw rocks through windows, do it in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 12:59 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, are you saying that the quality is the same? | 13:00 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: I don't know what knowledge base your referencing, do you have an ubuntu question you need the answer to | 13:00 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/services | 13:00 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: please show me an example of the bad documentation you are referencing | 13:00 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, the one mentioned there. | 13:00 |
| Myrtti | guys | 13:00 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, the serverguide pdf is quite bad. | 13:00 |
| goldsteam | hi | 13:00 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: any section that is incorrect ? | 13:00 |
| cfhowlett | goldsteam, greetings. | 13:00 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, no professional person touched that document. | 13:00 |
| Myrtti | #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss please | 13:01 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: please suggest a section that is incorrect | 13:01 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, it didn't even went past the graphics department. | 13:01 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, not so much incorrect, more useless. | 13:01 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, I wanted to find something and it suffices to say it wasn't there. | 13:01 |
| goldsteam | i installed the new server version on a hp proliant and now it boots with highres and the screen is moved to the left and can't modify that over the monitor settings the screen is far to left | 13:01 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: what are you looking for, perhaps I can tell you the answer | 13:01 |
| goldsteam | what should i do? | 13:01 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, and Redhat did have extensive documentation on the topic. | 13:01 |
| wcchandler | anybody have suggestions for rss readers for notify/indicator and unity on 12.04? rss-aware and feedindicator look dead | 13:02 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, no, I will stop wasting my time for now. | 13:02 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: what where you looking for | 13:02 |
| goldsteam | I'm speaking about the console screen | 13:02 |
| aetoxx | ikonia, I will just use Redhat's documentation on Ubuntu. | 13:02 |
| ikonia | aetoxx: what where you looking for | 13:02 |
| Myrtti | aetoxx, ikonia: #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss please | 13:02 |
| DeltaHeavy | aetoxx: You have no idea what you're talking about so don't be so critical of others please. And I hightly suggest not doing that since they're DIFFERENT systems with files in different places and different configurations all together. | 13:02 |
| aetoxx | DeltaHeavy, I have used Redhat too. | 13:03 |
| MonkeyDust | please guys, take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:03 |
| aetoxx | DeltaHeavy, as such, you are the person who doesn't know what I am talking about. Make your stupid inferences somewhere else. | 13:03 |

| heligoland | MonkeyDust, it's been 2 days and I've been using my iphone for freaking work..it's mental. right now i'm on someone else's computer | 13:25 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, yeah it shows everything else... | 13:26 |
| mrich | The Desktop background on my multimonitor setup doesn't look right in my Gnome 3.4 (on ubuntu). Where am I going wrong? Is there a Gnome specific way to set the background? | 13:26 |
| MonkeyDust | heligoland sounds like a hardware issue then, maybe the adapter is malfunctioning | 13:26 |
| heligoland | heligoland, nah i got it to work randomly but i don't even remember how i did it. when i shut down and rebooted it went away | 13:27 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, the thing does work. | 13:28 |
| MonkeyDust | heligoland how can you tell? | 13:28 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, i got it to work before, but it stopped working after i rebooted | 13:28 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, and i tried doing what i did before and it's not working out again | 13:28 |
| mrich | Anyone? | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | heligoland have you tried it on some other machine? | 13:29 |

| cfhowlett | PrivateReese: lemme look. I've got xubuntu 12.04 | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | PrivateReese: OK, I'm looking at the keyboard Layout settings and changes are greyed out. You probably have to be root. Then it appears you can add a Layout variant, e.g. german. | 13:35 |
| mrich | cfhowlett: ok here's a screenshot. I'm using 2 monitors, the left monitor is smaller than the right monitor which you can see from the screenshot. The problem is on the right monitor where the rectangle section is missing. http://snag.gy/0mE9I.jpg | 13:35 |

| kristenbb | auronandace: size 77G, used 68 G, available 5.8G, and decreasing almost by the minute. | 13:39 |
| kristenbb | kristenbb: it was 89% this morning. | 13:39 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb make sure you don't have too many / obsolete kernels installed | 13:39 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: it's 12.04, so I doubt it. | 13:39 |
| kristenbb | and it's increasing for no reason. /var/log/kernel.log.1 is 10GB | 13:40 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb 77GB for / | 13:40 |
| MonkeyDust | ? | 13:40 |
| kristenbb | yes | 13:40 |

| === Guest62765 is now known as shadowspires | ||
| kristenbb | sipior: one of them is, yes. But I've already looked into it so I'd like the discussion to head another way. I found out that what was in kernel.log was only filling due to a bug in the encrypted file system of /home, that occurs when the system is filled. But we're going in circles. I'd like to know why it was filled in the first place. | 13:42 |
| kubanc | is there any google drive client for ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: what have you installed? | 13:44 |
| kristenbb | nothing much. | 13:44 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: anything big? | 13:44 |
| kristenbb | auronandace: no | 13:44 |
| sipior | kristenbb: you asked about why your root filesystem was filling up. if you already knew the answer, i'm not sure why you would decide to waste our time. | 13:45 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: not using any vms? | 13:45 |
| sipior | kristenbb: does "sudo apt-get clean" help? | 13:45 |
| Flavio__ | hello, I have a problem using g++ 4.7, I installed it following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113291/installing-gcc-4-7 | 13:47 |
| kristenbb | sipior: well something else must be filling it too, because otherwise it wouldn't have filled and triggered the bug. | 13:47 |
| auronandace | Flavio__: contact the ppa maintainer | 13:47 |
| sipior | kristenbb: but now you're talking about /home, yes? | 13:47 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: not using any vms? | 13:48 |
| sipior | kristenbb: are these not separate partitions on your system? | 13:48 |
| kristenbb | auronandace: no | 13:48 |
| kristenbb | sipior: no | 13:48 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: downloading any torrents? | 13:48 |
| kristenbb | sipior: / and /home and in the same partition. | 13:48 |
| kristenbb | auronandace: no | 13:48 |
| Flavio__ | auronandace: do you know any other repository for gcc? | 13:48 |
| sipior | kristenbb: does "sudo apt-get clean" release any space? | 13:49 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: i can't think of much that can take up that amount of space | 13:49 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: unless you put it there | 13:49 |
| kristenbb | sipior: it doesn't display any output | 13:49 |

| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| kristenbb | cfhowlett: it's not 10, i'ts 77. the 10G you're referrring to is probably from when I said that the file kern.log alone was 10G big. | 13:50 |

| PrinzPfeifi | yeah got them already thanks a lot =) | 13:53 |
| kristenbb | ikonia: it says that . accounts for 58G | 13:53 |
| sipior | kristenbb: you say that the kernel.log is 10G because of a bug triggered when your /home was full. but if those are the same partition, how did you have room for a 10G file when the filesystem was full? | 13:53 |

| kristenbb | is it stupid enough to count links as part of the file system ? | 13:54 |

| cfhowlett | LambdaDusk: see @ubuntu-devel | 13:56 |
| kristenbb | wait I don't understand, isn't du -h supposed to show me what each of the directories contain ? I mean, if it was in a hidden directory inside /home, then the output would not say 58G ., would it? | 13:56 |
| LambdaDusk | cfhowlett: Thought that was for people who developed ubuntu itself? | 13:57 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: sure. May I add --max-depth ? It will shorten the length a lot | 13:57 |

| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: it's just the same, everything but the mysterious "." is peanuts | 14:03 |
| kristenbb | Pici: yet I don't. | 14:03 |

| MonkeyDust | kristenbb type this command find ~ -size +1G -exec ls -l {} \; | 14:05 |
| kristenbb | it shows /home/kristen/.xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old | 14:06 |
| kristenbb | maybe we're getting somewhere | 14:06 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb pastebinit :) | 14:06 |
| kristenbb | yeah ll -h .xession-errors shows 22G | 14:07 |
| kristenbb | where is this file coming from and why is it not displayed if I just type ll ? | 14:07 |
| kristenbb | this is crazy, it looks like this file appears from nowhere. I tried it again and now it is shown in ll of ~, but it wasn't a few minutes ago | 14:08 |
| kristenbb | what is that file ? | 14:08 |
| compdoc | a backup file | 14:08 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: what do you want me to paste ? | 14:08 |
| compdoc | made by gedit | 14:08 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb the outcome if that find command | 14:08 |
| compdoc | theyre supposed to be invisible | 14:09 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: the outcome is just what I said. 2 files, of size 23G and 34G, .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old | 14:10 |
| Pici | compdoc: kristenbb is taling about ~/ not files with ~ on them. | 14:10 |
| kristenbb | so what are these files? | 14:11 |
| TBarth | They are logfiles for graphical errors | 14:11 |
| kristenbb | the fact that it contains the word 'session' and 'error' seem scary | 14:11 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb are you not able to delete the files? | 14:11 |
| kristenbb | I don't know, should I try to ? | 14:11 |
| loren12345 | hi | 14:12 |
| TBarth | echo "" > /home/kristen/.xsession-errors | 14:12 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb gess they're just log files | 14:12 |
| MonkeyDust | guess | 14:12 |
| kristenbb | but they're highly anormal | 14:12 |
| loren12345 | does anybody know of a software that can switch my 22 inch screen to look like 10 inch? | 14:12 |
| kristenbb | maybe I should try to understand what's in them before deleting them | 14:12 |
| loren12345 | or how to google that>? | 14:12 |
| TBarth | I also have got theses files with many gtk errors, but only a few bytes sized | 14:12 |
| loren12345 | I'd like to see what my working desktop would look like on 10 inch | 14:13 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: the fact that you are losing space so those files are getting bigger means you must be experiencing some graphics/session problems | 14:13 |
| XiRoN | hi | 14:13 |
| XiRoN | Is there a command that can Delete a user and the home directory for it | 14:14 |

| TBarth | kristenbb, delete the content with echo "" > /home/kristen/.xsession-errors and then open it with tail to watch what causes the errors | 14:14 |

| heligoland | MonkeyDust, just bought a dlink pico n150 and now it's picking up the networks but it doesn't connect | 14:15 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, like, i literally just got back from the store | 14:15 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: it gets written to, which is why its getting bigger and you're losing space | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | heligoland it picks up a signal, that's something, now configure it to make it connect | 14:16 |
| heligoland | MonkeyDust, i put in the right password but it keeps trying over and over | 14:16 |
| kristenbb | well in any case I would rather not delete these logs until I understand what's in them, maybe it's my only shot at understanding what's wrong. logs are meant for something. | 14:16 |
| MonkeyDust | heligoland password or WPA key? | 14:17 |
| kristenbb | I moved them to another disk | 14:17 |
| untux | how can I check out required dependencies of configure files? currently I am running my configure script until it fails, I install dependency and start over... there must be a better way doing this! | 14:17 |
| kristenbb | How could I try to analyze them now, to see what's in it and what's wrong allegdly wrong with session/graphics? | 14:17 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: do what TBarth suggests, blank the file then tail it and see what is causing the errors | 14:17 |

| Taymon | cp -f folderA/* folderB | 14:22 |
| karanga | kristenbb: it must be a bug of sorts as the location of .xsession-errors has been moved to /tmp in 12.04 - looks like trying to remove the file with rm isn't a good idea, see post 12 | 14:22 |
| jacta | if i have ~500 gb harddirve - what would be a good partition? | 14:22 |

| stef1a | how do i use a local program to access remote files through an ssh in bash? | 14:22 |
| stef1a | i.e., i have gedit installed locally, and when ssh'd, if i try to gedit a file, it says "gedit not installed" | 14:23 |
| stef1a | b/c gedit isn't on the remote machine | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | jacta, depends what you intend to do | 14:23 |
| kristenbb | karanga: hmmm. What I did instead was mv file [other_disk]. Is that okay ? | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | stef1a i'm not sure if it's possible with ssh, but you can use nfs to mount a remote device locally | 14:23 |
| daois | Hi, I'm trying to play quake, and I'm trying to run it on a different X session (ctfl+alt+f5), and I'm running into several problems. If I go to tty5 and issue "xinit /home/qlprism/qlprism.sh -- :1", I get the app but it doesn't have nor sound, nor maximize/minimize/close bar on top, which means I'm just running X with basic defaults I guess. The other thing is that as soon as I do ctfl+alt+f7 to go back to my original X session, if I want to return, I have t | 14:23 |
| daois | o redo the whole process again because tty5 goes to terminal mode. What approaches should I be taking here? | 14:23 |
| jacta | BluesKaj: maybe /home in a partition for it self - and maybe some swap? | 14:23 |
| auronandace | stef1a: what's wrong with nano? | 14:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | stef1a, either a. sshfs b. mount ssh with nautilus c. use filezilla or some other similar client | 14:24 |
| stef1a | auronandace: it doesn't suit me | 14:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | stef1a, iam sure there is more options | 14:24 |
| karanga | I'm no expert but I would move it back and use the truncate command the poster suggests. That will free up some space in the meantime and you can research this a little more in the meantime. | 14:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | stef1a, b. is probably the easiest | 14:25 |
| MonkeyDust | stef1a mount the remote device on your local machine and edit from there, as if it were a loval folder | 14:25 |

| Guest57891 | Taymon, i dotn want to confirm each time a conflcit comes out, how do i overwrite by default? | 14:25 |
| kristenbb | karanga: well in any case the space was freed with the mv command, so does that mean the warning does not apply ? Was the warning only concerning the problem of it not being freed by rm ? | 14:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest57891, man cp says something? | 14:26 |
| Taymon | I thought that's what -f does. | 14:26 |
| Guest57891 | brontosaurusrex, nothing obvious on cp --help | 14:26 |
| Guest57891 | Taymon, its asking me for each conflict | 14:26 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb problem solved? | 14:27 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: no | 14:27 |
| kubanc | is there any ubuntu google drive client? | 14:27 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: but one symptom of it has probably been solved, yes. | 14:27 |
| Taymon | Guest57891, try yes | cp -f folderA/* folderB | 14:28 |
| brontosaurusrex | yeah -f is probably the magic switch | 14:28 |
| MonkeyDust | kubanc starte here http://www.dailytut.com/linux/google-drive-ubuntu.html | 14:28 |
| kristenbb | MonkeyDust: I still don't know why the file ~/.xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old would take more than 20G after just a few weeks. | 14:29 |
| MonkeyDust | kubanc it's a ppa, so officially not supported | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | jacta, what about a / partition for the OS , then if the OS gets corrupted a new install is possible without any data loss. | 14:29 |
| MonkeyDust | kristenbb but technically, problem solved? | 14:29 |
| karanga | kristenbb: I would reboot and monitor if the moved .xsession* file grows or if it is recreated in /home. | 14:29 |
| auronandace | kristenbb: you haven't read it to find out? | 14:30 |
| wh0empah | Hi! Question | 14:30 |

| Node_249 | i have java installed | 15:38 |
| rocki34 | hilary: Did you check the MD5 of your Ubuntu download? | 15:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, With the problems that you and I've been discussing, I wonder if dding my sdb would help with that bad superblock and bad magic number stuff? | 15:38 |
| hilary | No, how do I do this? | 15:38 |

| rocki34 | hilary: The iso you download from the official site, do you know where it's located? | 15:39 |

| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, dd'ing to where tho ? | 15:41 |
| [snake] | is it possible to see when a file was created. this seems like a dumb question, but I'm not seeing date created anywhere :p | 15:41 |
| rocki34 | hilary: Alright, download an ISO and then run an MD5sum | 15:42 |
| [snake] | all that shows is date modified. | 15:42 |
| OerHeks | Node_249, this is the source i see >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1096794/ | 15:42 |
| rocki34 | hilary: Most install problems with linux distro's stem from the ISO not being the same as the one they were trying to download. | 15:43 |
| OerHeks | Node_249, connecting to your server over 8080, that is correct. but then it does not call any videostream routine. | 15:43 |
| rocki34 | MonkeyDust: You gave me a link, and the said it was the wrong one. I'm confused. | 15:43 |
| zorin | How to turn on bluetooth | 15:44 |
| hilary | alright, I'll reply back when that finishes. Thank you! | 15:44 |
| MonkeyDust | rocki34 yeah, i was too fast | 15:44 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Nah, I just meant that since I've already tried a new partition table; reformatting; reinstalling with the same "no boot" results, dding the entire drive, then repeating partitioning, reinstalling might be the answer.. Just a wild guess on my part. | 15:44 |
| rocki34 | hilary: No problem :) | 15:44 |

| bazhang | siavashserver, why post it here, this is ubuntu support | 16:19 |
| okay | siavashserver; first of all, that's not why I'm on ubuntu, 2nd of all, I'm talking about the graphical glitches, not performance issues | 16:19 |

| Seveas | [snake], the linux dynamic loader (ld.so), which is what runs "binaries", recognizes the type of files based on magic numbers appearing at the start of a file. '#!' is the magic number that says "this is a script that needs another interpreter. Read a single line of text and use that as the interpreter".

| === MuNk is now known as MuNk` | ||
| beandog | the quotes should make it so it's not | 17:06 |
| Seveas | diverdude, use single quotes instead of double | 17:06 |
| beandog | oh there you go | 17:06 |
| Seveas | inside double quotes `...` expands to the output of the command enclosed in it | 17:06 |
| traveller1 | will try to purge the ubiquity slideshow and see if it helps | 17:06 |

| [snake] | can I log a session in terminal? input and output? | 17:09 |
| Seveas | karen_Deckers, this channel is for providing support to ubuntu users. If you're here just to have a good time, you're more than welcome to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 17:09 |
| Seveas | [snake], you can | 17:09 |
| Seveas | !info script | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Package script does not exist in precise | 17:09 |
| Seveas | [snake], use 'script', part of the 'bsdutils' package | 17:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, I just got finished creating new part. table, reformatting and reinstallingl same unsuccessful result. The curious thing is that after the reinstall the next reboot threw me into grubrescue (as it did before) and I had to reinstall grub to sda5 (12.04). The curious part is that even though I reformatted sdb with the "/", it no longer has the/ when viewed in gparted... :-( | 17:10 |
| beandog | Seveas: what is script? | 17:11 |
| Seveas | beandog, a tool that can record terminal sessions | 17:11 |
| beandog | really ...... | 17:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, I'll just be quasi-satisfied running it from livecd.. :( | 17:11 |
| beandog | Seveas: never heard of that. cool, thanks | 17:11 |
| [snake] | Seveas, I got it, thanks :) | 17:12 |
| amaurea | After an update 32-bit ALSA applications don't work. It appears that I need a 32-bit version of libasound_module_conf_pulse.so. This used to be in lib32asound2-plugins, but I can't find that package any more. Where can I get this file? | 17:12 |
| amaurea | I use 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 | 17:12 |
| traveller1 | the latest ubuntu studio installer is terrible? | 17:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Thanks again for all of your time/help! ;-) | 17:13 |
| traveller1 | its so slow to even load up into mem | 17:13 |
| traveller1 | i miss the alternate installer | 17:13 |
| traveller1 | it got the job done | 17:13 |

| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, it really should work as a proper install , there has to be a solution to the HDD recognition problem, altho support in bktrk would be best | 17:14 |

| drd2 | Seveas, I just wanted to show the output. | 17:18 |
| quark | Sis 3 mirage graphic | 17:18 |
| drd2 | 81 is major, 0 is minor. Right? | 17:18 |
| Seveas | the c at the start means 'character device' (block devices have a b, predictably). the major and minor device numbers are the numbers before the date | 17:18 |
| drd2 | Great. | 17:18 |
| quark | just 800*600 graphic | 17:18 |
| quark | how do i can get 1280*800 ? | 17:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, I totally agree; I'm convinced that it has something to do with bt using sda/b versus my UUIDs cause on reboot the first message says (the UUID) no such device and throws me into grub-rescue. If I had a more intimate knowledge of grub-rescue, I could probably fix it from there. Guess that'll be my next challenge. Ahain, thanx. | 17:19 |
| Seveas | quark, get a bettr video card? | 17:19 |
| drd2 | Can I only do 'hd /dev/video0' or 'cat /dev/video0' with block devices? | 17:19 |
| drd2 | This is what I get: 'hd: /dev/video0: Invalid argument' | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, maybe the sata drive is mistakenly set as the default boot drive in the bios , that same scenario happened to me when i chose my 2nd drive as the default. | 17:21 |
| lars__ | Hi guys. I'm in the process of installing 12.04 from USB alongside win7. It suddenly jumped out from the gui and froze on a black screen showing five lines. Last being: "[9.846880] device-mapper: dm-raid45: initialized v0.2594b". The pointer is the standard ubuntu-loading one, but it's stuck as well. Nothing responds. Should I force it off, and try to boot? Unfortunetely, I couldn't find an answer using google.. Thanks. | 17:21 |
| beandog | lars_: start install over | 17:22 |
| Seveas | lars__, what do the other 4 lines say? the one you posted is harmless | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, in other words the grub menu on the 2nd drive ges overwritten at boot | 17:23 |
| lotuspsychje | any gui package out there to set permissions to folders? | 17:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Perhaps; I've had enough for one day; don't want to try to solve the problem with the hammer.. Have a good one! And thanks again.. | 17:23 |
| Seveas | Sidewinder1, hammers are fun! | 17:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | :) | 17:24 |
| beandog | lotuspsychje: mm, nautilus | 17:24 |
| Seveas | lotuspsychje, the standard ubuntu file manager (nautilus) can do that | 17:24 |
| Seveas | rightclick on a file and select the appropriate optoin | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | oh right | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | ok Sidewinder1 , just a suggestion for the future ...got some yardwork to do and I'm trying put it off ... this is the perfect distraction ...the chainsaw can wait :) | 17:24 |
| Seveas | BluesKaj, chainsaws are fun too! :D | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | Seveas, well this new one has a bit of power that I'm not used to ...like a wild animal on the leash | 17:26 |
| Seveas | sounds dangerous | 17:26 |
| * Sidewinder1 Uses BluesKaj 's chainsaw to the stinkin' sdb drive... Wait, it passed right through it; should've used the UUID. :) | 17:26 | |
| Sidewinder1 | No more OT nonsense.. | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | well , I'll get used to it Seveas ..eventually | 17:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Seveas:any ida why ubuntu does not set permissions to unreadable for other users by default | 17:27 |
| Seveas | lotuspsychje, because your umask does not include that bit | 17:27 |
| lars__ | Seveas, It reads the following: 1. "[9.822592] Btrfs loaded" 2. "[9.827859] xor: automatically using best checksumming function: generic_sse" 3. "[9.846326] generic_sse: 9559.000 MB/sec" 4. "[9.846328] xor: using function: generic_sse (9559.00 MB/sec)" | 17:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Seveas: does not make any sense right other users can browse folder of root and its conent? | 17:28 |
| Seveas | lars__, ok, that's useless I'm afraid. Retrying (and praying that it works) seems like the best idea | 17:28 |
| lars__ | Seveas, Ok thanks! | 17:29 |
| Seveas | lotuspsychje, there shouldn't be anything in there anyway as you're not supposed to be root :) | 17:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Seveas: you cant open the file, but you sure can see it and its filename right | 17:30 |
| MiteshShah | lotuspsychje, Except this other users can read each other files by default. When i'm notice this thing and check ubuntu website ubuntu says its not bug its features for new ubuntu users to easily access each other files | 17:31 |
| sheriffjallow | hi | 17:31 |
| lotuspsychje | MiteshShah: yes tnx i know its not a bug, just was curious about the philosopy behind it | 17:32 |
| jacta | Can anyone tell me if this is all wrong - just installed OS - http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-07172012-073138pm.php | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | jacta: you did not use full hd space | 17:34 |
| Brent | What's the best practice.. Should I update everything when Ubuntu tells me to? - Seems like every couple days update manager pops up with a big list. | 17:34 |
| jacta | lotuspsychje, no - not yet - forgot to add the rest as "storage" | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Brent: yes, update always when it asks you | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | jacta: you can format the unallocated space with dd | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | jacta: or reformat ubuntu and use all space | 17:35 |
| jacta | but is the current setup good? | 17:36 |
| Brent | lotuspsychje: thanks! | 17:36 |
| lotuspsychje | jacta:well that depends on your needs..why did you make sda3 only 13gig? | 17:37 |
| gr33n7007h | Where do I add scripts to start before X server starts? | 17:38 |
| lotuspsychje | jacta: you hd is 250gig right, so i would choose full hd space on ubuntu install: 1swap, 1 home sda1 | 17:38 |
| rocki34 | Hi, I have a problem with Ubuntu on VM. I can't get my USB recognized by the guest OS. I'm using VirtualBox. | 17:39 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: did you install vbox guest addons? | 17:40 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Yep. | 17:41 |
| lotuspsychje | gr33n7007h: what kinda script you wanna run? | 17:41 |
| gr33n7007h | lotuspsychje, A shell script to aquire an IP address before X server starts | 17:42 |
| kriskropd | gr33n7007h: /etc/rc.local probably is where you will run your script | 17:42 |
| kriskropd | probably | 17:42 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Thing is my USB isn't getting recognized by Virtualbox itself. If I go into settings>USB>Add filter, my USB doesn't show up there either. | 17:42 |
| gr33n7007h | kriskropd, i'll try thanks man! | 17:43 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: yeah, I figured your problem was irrelevant to ubuntu, but gimme a sec ill play with it in a moment | 17:43 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: But my host OS is detecting it. | 17:43 |
| lotuspsychje | rocki34: arent there requierd usb drivers on the Os you running on virtualbox (did you check driverlist)? | 17:43 |
| rocki34 | lotuspsychje: How do I check driver list? | 17:44 |
| lotuspsychje | rocki34: what is your guest Os? | 17:44 |
| rocki34 | lotuspsychje: I haven't installed anything except for the Vbox extension pack and add-on | 17:44 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: in the vm window, under the drop down menu "Devices > Usb Devices " Do you see your usb device? | 17:44 |
| jacta | lotuspsychje, is this so bad? http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-07172012-074423pm.php | 17:45 |
| bluewave22 | having issue with my nvidia card and a fresh install of 12.04LTS. I had everything working perfect with the Nvidia Additional Driviers but after rebooting my box i cannot get the resolution to 1680x1050 | 17:45 |
| etio | I just plugged a serial ata HDD in my ubuntu server and turned it on, how can I browse to the disk ? Do I have to mount it first? | 17:45 |
| drd2 | I've created a device node using the following command: mknod /dev/webcam b 81 0 | 17:45 |
| lotuspsychje | bluewave22:are you running nvidia-current? | 17:45 |
| bluewave22 | yes | 17:45 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: It says 'no USB devices connected' | 17:45 |
| lotuspsychje | bluewave22: i think ubuntu choose best res by default, not sure if you can change | 17:46 |
| drd2 | The node seems to be created, but when I enter 'hd /dev/webcam', I am told that no such device exists. | 17:46 |
| bluewave22 | nvidia-settings had all the correct info in as well as my dell monitor and now its gone | 17:46 |
| lotuspsychje | etio: is it ext or ntfs or fat? | 17:46 |
| etio | Not sure lotuspsychje | 17:46 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: which virtual box do you ahve installed, the OSE version i don't think supports usb.. did you get it from the ubuntu repositories? | 17:46 |
| lotuspsychje | !info pysdm | etio | 17:46 |
| etio | lotuspsychje: I just plugged an unknown serial ata HDD in there | 17:47 |

| rocki34 | kriskropd: I used Synaptic to install Vbox. | 17:47 |
| etio | cheers lotuspsychje ill check it out | 17:47 |
| lotuspsychje | etio: whit this tool you can automount drives at boot | 17:47 |

| etio | ah ok thanks lotuspsychje | 17:49 |
| te | etio: You'll more than likely want to set it up with a mount point | 17:49 |
| bluewave22 | i've tried installing the nvidia-173 driver but the install errors out with this dependency messages : http://pastebin.com/9Mh5rwmA | 17:49 |
| tolmun | installing python3.* inside virtualenvwrapper on 12.04 is unsuported? | 17:50 |
| amaurea | The solution to my problem turned out to be that I had to install libalsa2-plugins:i386. I was not aware of this :i386-syntax. | 17:51 |
| ResQue | etio: it depends on the type of harddrive connection, if you are talking about the location of the physical drive normal its /dev/sda* or /dev/hd* for sata or ide respectivly | 17:51 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: is the user running virtualbox also in the 'vboxusers' group? | 17:51 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: How do I check that? | 17:52 |
| ResQue | etio: or maybe you are talking about where you mount a partition | 17:52 |

| rocki34 | hello | 17:52 |
| etio | i'm not mounting any partition ResQue | 17:52 |
| subz3r0 | rocki34, i gave you this advice like three times.. | 17:52 |
| ResQue | etio: then its what i said first | 17:52 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:what are you trying to do? install ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| subz3r0 | and i would strongly recomment NOT TO USE the version from the softwarecenter... | 17:52 |
| subz3r0 | use this: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 17:52 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: no it is already installed | 17:53 |
| te | etio: Maybe you should explain your end goal. | 17:53 |
| ResQue | etio: has this answered your question? | 17:53 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: rocki34 you can check the groups a user is in with 'groups username' | 17:53 |
| etio | te: my end goal is to have a folder in /media/HDD2/ with the whole disk | 17:53 |
| etio | yes ResQue, cheers | 17:53 |
| beandog | subz3r0: don't they have a repo? I thought that's where I got mine | 17:53 |
| etio | te: assuming that theres only 1 partition on the disk | 17:53 |
| ufrgs | My computer is quite slow and I figured maybe the disk is getting too small. I decided to check disk space but couldn't figure how does it works. Could someone help me on it please? | 17:53 |
| te | etio: The above is your mount point. | 17:53 |
| etio | te: allright | 17:53 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_: you have other usb connected to your pc, or BIOS settings changed to something else than your HD? | 17:53 |
| ufrgs | I also have Windows installed at same disk. | 17:53 |
| subz3r0 | beandog, its outdated... | 17:53 |
| beandog | subz3r0: oh, n/m it's down there | 17:53 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: if the vboxusers group is not listed you can add it with 'sudo usermod -aG vboxusers username' | 17:54 |
| te | etio: How many partitions are on the disk is up to you. | 17:54 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: no | 17:54 |
| beandog | subz3r0: really? mine works fine | 17:54 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: nothing changed. | 17:54 |
| subz3r0 | i never said its not working | 17:54 |
| ResQue | etio: use gparted to look at the partition of the disk, "sudo gparted" | 17:54 |
| subz3r0 | just out of date | 17:54 |
| cyberC | How to login to root? | 17:54 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I did shut it down by force though, but that's it. | 17:54 |
| te | etio: What do you have now? sudo fdisk -l | 17:54 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:you just installed ubuntu only? | 17:54 |
| subz3r0 | v4.1.18 is the newest | 17:54 |
| werxxx | how use the paint for ubuntu? | 17:54 |
| etio | te: lemme check | 17:54 |
| ResQue | etio: it will also give you the locical names and physical names of the harddrive partions and the drives them selves | 17:54 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: no there are other OSes, they're not working either. | 17:55 |
| etio | ResQue, thanks. Ill try that out. I have been using the GUI version of gparted before | 17:55 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:one of them is win7 | 17:55 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: it seems grub has just been lost. | 17:55 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: yes | 17:55 |
| etio | te: http://pastebin.com/VM1NE4rK | 17:55 |
| ResQue | etio: it is a much better idea to get to grips with the terminal interface and the parted tool, like te said | 17:55 |
| cyberC | PLEASE HELP ME OUT | 17:55 |
| etio | ResQue: yes, for sure. | 17:55 |
| te | etio: You'll want to create partition(s) on it to suit your needs, then the filesytem of your choice, (ext4 would be good)... | 17:55 |
| etio | ResQue, i agree | 17:55 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:i know there are some issues with win7 not liking mess with master boot record, togheter with ubuntu | 17:56 |
| sophie_ | cyberC: su | 17:56 |

| kriskropd | cyberC: root is disabled in ubuntu, run your commands with sudo | 17:56 |
| ufrgs | How does Ubuntu partitionates the disk at first ? | 17:56 |
| ufrgs | cyberC, sudo bash | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:can you install ubuntu alone? | 17:56 |
| etio | te: In my fdisk -l , i can't really see my 250gb disk. | 17:56 |
| gr33n7007h | kriskropd, Thanks dude! worked like a charm ;D | 17:56 |
| ResQue | ufrgs: haha partitionates, now that cant really be a word right :P | 17:56 |
| etio | te: nevermind | 17:56 |
| etio | te: it is there | 17:56 |
| te | etio: So, it's a 250G HDD? | 17:56 |
| etio | te: yes | 17:56 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, ext3 i guess | 17:56 |
| kriskropd | gr33n7007h: thats great to hear :D | 17:56 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: you mean, remove windows ? no that's not an option. | 17:56 |
| cyberC | Each time change some setting ROOT PASSWORD IS BEING ASKED | 17:56 |

| lotuspsychje | sophie_:can you still login to ubuntu atm? | 17:57 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I can do nothing at the moment. | 17:57 |
| ufrgs | ResQue, how would you say that ? complex word man!! | 17:57 |
| te | etio: ok, as you can see, it is sdb and there are two partitions on it, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 and they are ntfs. | 17:57 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: it just says 'no OS found' | 17:57 |

| lotuspsychje | sophie_:try that and go into ubuntu, after try a sudo apt-get update grub | 17:58 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: let me try that. | 17:58 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: idk then :x if you are certain you have the non-OSE virtualbox installed, it should work then | 17:58 |
| te | etio: First off, .. is it a USB drive? | 17:58 |
| ufrgs | I have tow main disk partitions sda1 and sda2 | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:then reboot | 17:58 |
| etio | te: no, lol. It is a serial ata 250gb disk | 17:58 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, ubuntu will use ext3. | 17:58 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: you're going too fast, i doubt it will even work | 17:58 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: What do you mean by non-OSE? | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:updating grub might do the trick | 17:58 |
| te | etio: Ok, do you want one or two or three partitions on it? How many ? | 17:59 |
| ufrgs | The thing is the partition it is supposed to be booting has only 100Mb, how come ? | 17:59 |
| ResQue | ufrgs: i think maybe you mean 18:57 < ufrgs> subz3r0, what ? | 17:59 |
| subz3r0 | 100mb? | 17:59 |
| ResQue | 18:57 < ufrgs> subz3r0, what ? | 17:59 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, what ? | 17:59 |
| subz3r0 | win7 installed before? | 17:59 |
| ufrgs | ResQue, what ? | 17:59 |
| etio | te: Since its a disk from a friend, their may be a chance it already has several partitions on it. But it probaly wont be the case. I only want to have 1 partition | 17:59 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: virtual box has an OSE (open source edition) which lacks many things (includign USB support) and a PUEL edition (Personal Use) which has better support | 17:59 |
| etio | te: the disk in its entirity | 17:59 |
| ufrgs | I don't understand fdisk anymore. | 18:00 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: both are available in the ubuntu repositories I believe | 18:00 |
| ResQue | ufrgs: sorry i was copying and pasting, i was trying to say, maybe you mean the word partitions. As in more than one partition of a disk | 18:00 |
| ufrgs | Could someone experienced help me please? | 18:00 |
| ResQue | ufrgs: but i am just guessing, i had no idea what the hell you was on about, but dont worry i suck at spelling and grammer to. | 18:00 |
| ufrgs | ResQue, well, yes. | 18:00 |
| lars__ | Seveas, The install went smooth now. When I rebooted, the bootloader didn't find the USB-device, so it disconnected when installing. Anyways, I just used a different USB-pen, and now I'm up and running. Thanks again. | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !info dd | ufrgs | 18:00 |
| ubottu | ufrgs: Package dd does not exist in precise | 18:00 |
| te | etio: As you can see, it has 2 NTFS partitions on it, one very small one and then one big one. | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | hmmm | 18:00 |
| * kriskropd facepalm | 18:00 | |
| lars__ | Seveas, *maybe it disconnected when installing* | 18:01 |
| ufrgs | Does fdisk -l show windows partition also? | 18:01 |
| kriskropd | i think its a bug, i have dd O.o | 18:01 |
| etio | te: probaly windows who done that | 18:01 |
| te | etio: What do you want to do with it? | 18:01 |
| te | etio: Yes, probably so. | 18:01 |
| etio | te: I want to put loads of movies on it so i can use it as a media server for my tv | 18:01 |
| ufrgs | Like, say, sda1 would be my Ununtu partition and sda2 the Windows one, no ? | 18:01 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: That might just be the problem. How do I check if I have the OSE version? | 18:01 |
| etio | te: so really, i only need one folder called "movies" | 18:01 |
| te | etio: Ok so delete both partitiions and create one new one. | 18:01 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: so I just tried it, didn't work | 18:01 |
| etio | allright te | 18:02 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:holding shift didnt work? | 18:02 |
| te | etio: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 18:02 |
| ResQue | etio: dont store all your movies on the same partition as the os is installed, when it breaks its easy to fix :-D | 18:02 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I still can't boot into any OS | 18:02 |
| etio | te: before doing that ill backup the existing data | 18:02 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: no,didn't work | 18:02 |
| ufrgs | lotuspsychje, what ? | 18:02 |
| ufrgs | Please, I need help, please???? | 18:02 |
| te | etio: Good idea. | 18:02 |
| etio | ResQue: no, ill be storing it on the disk we're discussing right now | 18:02 |
| ufrgs | I just installed GParted also. | 18:02 |
| ResQue | etio: Just thought i would give you a heads up :-D | 18:03 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:if you are sure no BIOS option has changed to any other boot device...you might wanna reformat it all | 18:03 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, once again. was win7 installed before? Windows 7 will create a 100mb partition. | 18:03 |
| etio | ResQue: thanks :) | 18:03 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: i'm not sure if this works because I installed my virtualbox without apt, but try dpkg -l virtualbox* | 18:03 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: what? | 18:03 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: i think it will list virtualbox-ose if you have it installed | 18:03 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, yes, it was already installed. | 18:03 |
| etio | te: how do i actually browse into the second (big) partition? | 18:03 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, there you go. the 100mb partition is from win7 | 18:04 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:for install Os sometimes you need to set cd-rom or usb to primary boot | 18:04 |
| te | etio: After that, just use fdisk to delete the two partitions and create one. Fdisk will by default lable it as Linux. Then use fsck to create the filesystem. Then edit /etc/fstab and designate the mount point for it. | 18:04 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, but how come Ubuntu be booting from this partition ? | 18:04 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: are you saying I should lose all my data and go into the long process of reinstalling a whole system just because the shift shortcut failed? I surely do hope there are other options before coming to that. | 18:04 |
| etio | te: allright, sounds like something i could do. | 18:04 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: It doesn't say OSE anywhere... | 18:04 |
| etio | te: as in, doesnt sound very complicated | 18:04 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, you can install ofc the bootloader there. grub doesnt need that much space | 18:05 |
| te | etio: You will only be able to browse to it after you specify the mount point in the /etc/fstab file | 18:05 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:what was the last point you could boot any Os before? | 18:05 |
| etio | te: allright | 18:05 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, and both partitions have the same File System, ntfs. | 18:05 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, but i recommend for the next time. kill all partitions before you install it :) | 18:05 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, thats the deal ;) | 18:05 |
| te | etio: man fstab & man fsck | 18:05 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Ill post a screenshot of what I'm seeing, I don't know how to determine if it's the OSE version or not. | 18:05 |
| beandog | sophie_: wait ... what happened? | 18:05 |
| te | etio: but we will help as needed | 18:05 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, and where is Ubuntu installed ? | 18:05 |
| redscare | does anyone know how to get dhclient to work on a network with a hidden ssid? | 18:05 |
| etio | te: allright, ill be figuring this out for the next 20min | 18:06 |
| sophie_ | beandog: nothing happened, that I know of. | 18:06 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, if its a fresh isntallation, just delete all partitions and reinstall ubuntu | 18:06 |
| te | etio: not fsck mkfs sorry... | 18:06 |
| sophie_ | beandog: it's just that I can't boot into any OS no more. | 18:06 |
| beandog | uh .. okay? why not | 18:06 |
| te | etio: Ok let us know if you need more help. | 18:06 |
| beandog | redscare: network manager lets you do it | 18:06 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, i guess boatloader in partition one, ubuntu itself in partition two | 18:06 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: in time, you mean? just a few minutes ago ubuntu was working. | 18:06 |
| beandog | redscare: or do you wanna use iwconfig | 18:06 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, I think my disk is completely full. That is why I am wondering. | 18:06 |
| redscare | beandog: this is actually to solve a problem i'm having with nm | 18:07 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, and where is windows then ? | 18:07 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, sorry im out of time, need to eat then leave. but im sure any1 else can help you | 18:07 |
| beandog | redscare: whats the nm problem? (if I can ask) | 18:07 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, one more question, did you use WUBI? | 18:07 |
| ufrgs | I hitnk so, why ? | 18:07 |
| subz3r0 | awww | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:did you update ubuntu before it happen? | 18:07 |
| redscare | beandog: basically I couldn't connect to this hidden, wpa2-psk network today (i've been able to before which is strange). i decided to try to do it manually with wpa_supplicant/dhclient/iwconfig | 18:07 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, yes, the applicatoin from Ubuntu CD. I think so. | 18:07 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: This is what I see. http://i.imgur.com/ye17y.png | 18:07 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, Why? | 18:07 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: no | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | Why? | 18:08 |
| subz3r0 | explain youre question again, and tell the ppl that you used "wubi". im outta here. sorry | 18:08 |
| redscare | wpa_supplicant connects, but dhclient just goes forever without getting an ip | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | Whyyyy.....y ..... y.... | 18:08 |
| etio | te: How about I leave it be NTFS, mount it with /etc/fstab and delete all the existing data on there ? | 18:08 |
| Pici | ufrgs: stop that | 18:08 |
| beandog | redscare: k I gotta run, you can use iwconfig on cli though: iwconfig wlan0 essid <name> (or something like that) | 18:08 |
| etio | te: sounds easier | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | Pici, so help me!!! | 18:08 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I had other problems, but I think unrelated. also, as i said, i shut it down by force. | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | Please :D | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | Pici, will you :) | 18:08 |
| ufrgs | I need | 18:08 |
| Pici | ufrgs: I don't even know what your issue is, I just see you asking 'why' | 18:09 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: the disk was full. | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:its very hard to believe ubuntu cant be booted anymore or grub | 18:09 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: yet it's the case. So what can I do from here? | 18:09 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, "explain youre question again, and tell the ppl that you used "wubi". im outta here. sorry" | 18:09 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: i'm not sure then :/ you should try asking in #vbox , they ought to know much more than I do ~ if they can't figure out why your virtualbox isn't working, they may be able to hint what you need to do on ubuntu to fix it | 18:09 |
| ufrgs | Pici, well, I am facing huge problems here when I try to figure how is my HDD partioned. | 18:09 |
| ufrgs | Pici, or partitioned, is this a word? | 18:09 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, what did i tell you? | 18:10 |
| redscare | i'm having a problem where network manager won't connect to a wpa2-psk network with a hidden ssid. i then decided to isolate the problem. I can connect with wpa_supplicant, but then dhclient fails to get an IP address. I can also connect to non-hidden ssids. Can anyone help? | 18:10 |
| te | etio: You can, but I would strongly recommend you use a native Linux filesystem. Is there date on it you want to keep? | 18:10 |
| subz3r0 | ---> WUBI <--- | 18:10 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:you could try windows7 cd to rescue, or ubuntu cd to repair | 18:10 |
| subz3r0 | mention that... | 18:10 |
| subz3r0 | bye | 18:10 |
| etio | te: date? | 18:10 |
| te | data | 18:10 |
| te | sorry | 18:10 |
| etio | ah | 18:10 |
| etio | uhh | 18:10 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: ok I booted into a CD. what now ? | 18:10 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Ugh, the smaller IRC channels never respond. I'll try to download VBox again from the official site. | 18:10 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:wich one? | 18:10 |
| etio | te: well, yes. that's why i was backing up. Might as well leave it on there.. IF ntfs is not a problem | 18:10 |
| Pici | ufrgs: What sort of problems? | 18:10 |
| etio | te: what kind of complications could NTFS cause? | 18:10 |
| ufrgs | Pici, well the guy just told me to mention I've used WIBI, which I am not 100% sure either but I think so if my memory can help me this time. | 18:10 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: ubuntu 12.04 desktop | 18:11 |
| Pici | ufrgs: How did you install Ubuntu? Did you boot from the CD or did you start the install from Windows? | 18:11 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/install-virtualbox-4-1-14-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ here is a brief guide if you do that | 18:11 |
| ufrgs | Pici, I have both Windows and Ubuntu installed at this HDD. And I am starting to feel both systems are HD space short. | 18:11 |
| te | etio: You can't have the file permissions that linux uses, but.... that's ok if you dont care. | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:you can try a repair install with ubuntu | 18:11 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: also i'm sorry that smaller IRC channels tend to require more patience :( | 18:11 |
| ufrgs | Pici, if I remeber well I did start installation from Windows. | 18:11 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: how to do that | 18:12 |
| tolmun | selfAnswer .. missing Python3 on default 12.04 | 18:12 |
| etio | te: I actually do care. Allright ill back it up :) | 18:12 |
| ufrgs | Pici, why is it so important ? | 18:12 |
| te | etio: So you can leave it as is and just use /dev/sdb2 | 18:12 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Haha, it's nothing you should be apologizing for :P | 18:12 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: i've been there, done that, i know the pain >_< | 18:12 |
| Pici | ufrgs: Because installing using WUBI does not partition the harddrive. It creates a file within Windows that it uses as a virtual drive. | 18:12 |
| te | etio: Ok copy files off of it and you can put them back on again when you are done. | 18:12 |
| etio | te: allright | 18:12 |
| ufrgs | Pici, ohh... and is it good ? | 18:13 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: That's not what I find annoying though. I find it annoying that the IRC channels aren't even that small; they have like 150 people sitting in there. But not one will respond for like 15 minutes. | 18:13 |
| Pici | ufrgs: good? Many power users don't like it because it makes troubleshooting booting issues much harder to diagnose. | 18:13 |
| rocki34 | kriskropd: Thanks for the link, btw. | 18:13 |
| ufrgs | Pici, ok, and lets say I want to partition my disk now, without loosing Windows. But reinstalling Ubuntu on its free new partition, is it possible? | 18:14 |
| redscare | sorry for repeating, but if anyone can offer any help i'd be very grateful: i'm having a problem where network manager won't connect to a wpa2-psk network with a hidden ssid. i then decided to isolate the problem. I can connect with wpa_supplicant, but then dhclient fails to get an IP address. I can also connect to non-hidden ssids. | 18:14 |
| kriskropd | rocki34: 150 people who have nothing to attend to will go off and do other things, leaving IRC open... I do that alot :) | 18:14 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:you can try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122683/upgrade-to-precise-messed-up-grub2 | 18:14 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: How to do a "repair install with ubuntu" ? Should I click on "try it" rather than "install it" ? | 18:14 |
| Pici | ufrgs: yes, but if you're having space issues in Windows, you should get those sorted out before continuing. | 18:15 |
| siavashserver | ufrgs, http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/step-by-step-beginners-guide-to-installing-ubuntu-11-10.172128/ | 18:15 |
| te | etio: It is going to appear as just yet another directory in the already existing filesystem, so be thinking of what directory name you want for it. | 18:15 |
| etio | te: allright | 18:15 |
| ufrgs | Pici, do you think if I partition the disk now from Linux side, can I loose Windows? | 18:16 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:try it | 18:16 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, just finished lunch... and YES you CAN | 18:16 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: try what, exactly | 18:16 |
| Pici | ufrgs: You should have backups before repartitioning. | 18:16 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: there are a few answers. | 18:17 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: should I just type update-grub into a terminal ? | 18:17 |
| ufrgs | Pici, I have it, how do I do that ? | 18:17 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:choose try ubuntu, then go to terminal and update grub like the link says | 18:17 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, man you eat fast heih! | 18:17 |
| ufrgs | Pici, with fdisk ? | 18:17 |
| subz3r0 | not rly, was already havin lunch while talking to you | 18:17 |
| subz3r0 | use gparted | 18:18 |
| siavashserver | ufrgs, gparted | 18:18 |
| Pici | ufrgs: use gparted from the Ubuntu live CD | 18:18 |
| Pici | ufrgs: But again, if you are having low diskspace issues right now, you need to figure those out before you continue. | 18:18 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, but be aware. you damage the bootloader of windows = Crap is going on | 18:18 |
| karen_Deckers | t | 18:19 |
| ufrgs | Can't I edit those partition from Windows side to ensure it will stay ? | 18:19 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: an error occurred. It says: can't find a device for /. is /dev mounted ? | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:interesting howto here too: http://thpc.info/dual/win7/dualboot_win7+ubuntu1204_grub_mbr_on_win7.html | 18:19 |
| karen_Deckers | : : : : Remember to make your ubuntu upgrades | 18:19 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, if you have backups, i would recommend DELETE THE WHOLE DISK (all partitions). reinstall windows(without the 100mb parition, see google for that). the rest space will be unallocated.... there u can easily install ubuntu | 18:20 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: please note that this has been working before, and I didn't do anything to change it. | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:if it cant find your hd, it might be broken or very FULL, if its full its gonna be hard booting to anything.. | 18:20 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I had windows 7 and ubuntu, and it was fine. Now I can't log into any of them. | 18:20 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, but remember, its better to first install windows 7 and then ubuntu. | 18:20 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: yes it might be full. | 18:21 |
| subz3r0 | Sophie_, what does "cant log int" mean? | 18:21 |
| subz3r0 | does the system boot? any of it? | 18:21 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:sounds like you need a rescue cd to boot, to clean up hd space first | 18:21 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: no it doesn't even boot | 18:21 |
| terinjokes | is it possible to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on an OpenVZ VPS? | 18:21 |
| subz3r0 | or is there something like "no system found" | 18:21 |
| karen_Deckers | i use Ubuntu with only 20 Gio, the rest of the disk for Windows. i need to pratice linux CMD lines .. | 18:21 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: i don't even get to choose which system to find, it doesn't even get to grub. I just get 'no OS found' | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | subz3r0: she says she cant login to grub neither anymore | 18:22 |
| karen_Deckers | any URl to learn Terminal use? | 18:22 |
| subz3r0 | sophie_, sorry to tell you that, buts youre in a mess now. sounds like the bootloader is gone | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | !bash | karen_Deckers | 18:22 |
| ubottu | karen_Deckers: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 18:22 |
| subz3r0 | you can run windows from cd and then try "fixmbr" | 18:22 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: so what to do from here. | 18:22 |
| subz3r0 | but u wont be able to start ubuntu then... | 18:23 |
| karen_Deckers | !bash | 18:23 |

| ufrgs | subz3r0, why not ? | 18:23 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, because Ubuntu start from inside Grub which is inside Windows ? | 18:24 |
| karen_Deckers | cool man, thanx . im on the lastest Ubuntu version, so alot of thing changed . the last i used was the 9.04 xD! | 18:24 |
| RaverX3X | question is there a fast way to find out why my desktop runing ubuntu reaches 100 percent cpu on both cores fast but my core 2 laptop does not | 18:24 |
| melkor | why do usb's slow down so much when copying large files? | 18:24 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: so I am logged into the ubuntu live cd. What to do from here? | 18:24 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, because the win bootloader doesnt like it to be changed from grub. or even be overwritten by grub | 18:24 |
| aaas | anyone know how i can benchmark my php performance? | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:update grub from terminal as described in the link i gave you | 18:24 |
| subz3r0 | ufrgs, there are several nice tutorials on youtube, how to install a dual boot system. just check em out | 18:25 |
| kriskropd | RaverX3X: try running top in a shell, you can hit 'c' to show actual commands | 18:25 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I tried sudo update-grub but it displayed the error I said. | 18:25 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: an error occurred. It says: can't find a device for /. is /dev mounted ? | 18:25 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: please note that this has been working before, and I didn't do anything to change it. | 18:25 |
| sophie_ | sophie_: these last two were reposts. | 18:25 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:the disk might be full | 18:25 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: well yes I know that, so what can I do from here? | 18:25 |
| ufrgs | subz3r0, the idea of reinstalling Windows makes me fell bad. | 18:25 |
| karen_Deckers | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , thats totaly new to me. the last time i was on linux it was the 9.04 ..... Thanks for that Old School chat ;) | 18:26 |
| subz3r0 | lotuspsychje, ext3 will reserve about 5% of the space.. so you cant run out of space | 18:26 |
| subz3r0 | well should not be able to... | 18:26 |
| kriskropd | melkor: usb bus only has so much bandwidth, also Linux manages the bus a little differently than Windows from what I understand | 18:26 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: and in any case shouldn't I at least be able to *read* grub ? I mean grub doesn't require *writing* to the disk, does it? Or is it possible that ubuntu overwrote over grub ??? | 18:26 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: I have ext4. don't know if it's relevant. | 18:27 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:that depends what happened to the mbr | 18:27 |
| ufrgs | Thank you guys! | 18:27 |
| ufrgs | bye | 18:27 |
| subz3r0 | ext4 should to the same | 18:27 |
| subz3r0 | do | 18:27 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: I don't know. | 18:27 |
| sophie_ | so what can I do from here? | 18:28 |
| tolmun | is any nice dark-greay transformation pack of ubuntu? | 18:28 |
| lotuspsychje | subz3r0:she told me her win7 disk was full | 18:28 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: actually, only ubuntu is full. | 18:28 |
| subz3r0 | lotuspsychje, that doesnt matter to ubuntu | 18:28 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: or might be. | 18:28 |
| subz3r0 | god damnit my f..... headache is killing me | 18:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 18:28 |
| karen_Deckers | to put my keyboard on French Canadian it's.... control panel right? | 18:28 |

| lotuspsychje | sophie_:try a reinstall clean ubuntu next to win7, might be the easiest way | 18:30 |
| subz3r0 | sophie_ anyway. i would try to fix first the loader of windows 7 with fixmbr | 18:30 |
| Skrillex123 | HELP!! MY MIC ISINT WORKING!! | 18:30 |
| te | Skrillex123: How can we help you? | 18:30 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: I would rather fix it all at the same time | 18:30 |
| Skrillex123 | can you help me fix it/ | 18:31 |
| Skrillex123 | i tried alsamixer and it didint wor | 18:31 |
| Skrillex123 | k | 18:31 |
| subz3r0 | sophie_: I would ask my magic glas, but i dont know where the loader of ubuntu is installed on your system, neither how many partitions you have etc :) | 18:32 |
| groupers | I have a script (sbf_flash) which I cannot change permissions on | 18:32 |
| te | Skrillex123: What OS do you have installed? | 18:32 |

| te | Skrillex123: Fully updated? | 18:32 |
| Skrillex123 | yup | 18:32 |
| sophie_ | why is sudo update-grub replying: "grub probe: can't find a device for /. Is grub mounted ?" | 18:32 |
| groupers | every time I try with chmod, even with sudo, or in the file properties (clicking "Allow executing...") it just unchecks it or doesn't get the permissions | 18:33 |
| groupers | what is the problem? | 18:33 |
| groupers | I'm so frustrated | 18:33 |
| te | Skrillex123: How does the mic show up in alsamixer? Is it muted? Is it turned up? | 18:33 |
| Skrillex123 | yes no yes | 18:33 |
| subz3r0 | sophie_, check with "mount" | 18:33 |
| sophie_ | groupers: your fs is ntfs, not ext4 | 18:33 |
| sophie_ | subz3r0: what does that mean? | 18:33 |
| groupers | sophie_, I really can't have execute permissions on files that aren't on ext partitions? | 18:34 |
| groupers | that's obnoxious | 18:34 |
| karen_Deckers | im installing GNOME desktop environment. . . | 18:34 |
| subz3r0 | check if the boot partition is mounted | 18:34 |
| sophie_ | which partition ? | 18:34 |

| te | Skrillex123: See if your sound card is correctly identified in the upper left corner of the screen, (alsamixer). If not, switch to it. | 18:36 |
| sophie_ | why is sudo update-grub replying: "grub probe: can't find a device for /. Is grub mounted ?" | 18:36 |

| sophie_ | yes | 18:37 |
| Skrillex123 | how do i do that | 18:37 |
| lotuspsychje | sophie_:when you reinstall ubuntu it will save your /home and make all space | 18:37 |
| bluewave22 | hello | 18:37 |
| === _will_i_am is now known as ___will___ | ||
| te | Jordan_U: No, not me | 18:38 |
| Jordan_U | te: Sorry, wrong nick. | 18:38 |
| bluewave22 | i need some help with my nvidia card ... help please! | 18:38 |
| sophie_ | lotuspsychje: seriously I don't want to get into that, then I would have to reinstall everything, and reconfigure it all, mouse options, keyboard shortcuts, etc, it's a long process. | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | Skrillex123, are you asking me ? if so please use the nick of the pewrson you want to address | 18:38 |
| te | Skrillex123: F6 I think, (it should be on the screen). | 18:38 |
| Jordan_U | sophie_: Note that update-grub just updates the grub.cfg, it doesn't install grub. To run update-grub from a LiveCD/USB you'll need to chroot into your installed system first. | 18:39 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: so is that what I need to do ? | 18:39 |
| Skrillex123 | te: STILL DOSNT WORK | 18:39 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: or is it just the right tool for my issue ? | 18:39 |
| Jordan_U | sophie_: Could you give a brief recap of your issue? | 18:39 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: or is it just *not* the right tool for my issue ? | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Jordan_U:she cant boot into grub or win7 anymore, | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Jordan_U:i told her to update grub from within livecd | 18:41 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: my issue is simple, I can't boot into any OS (I have 2, windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64b). It was working before, and I didn't change anything regarding this. I didn't install a new hdd or anything. The computer was shut down by force. And the file system where / and /home (it's the same partition) might be full. | 18:41 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: and yeah, even grub doesn't show. | 18:42 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: Just for the future, "update-grub" is never going to help with "OS not found" errors from the BIOS as it only rewrites /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it doesn't install grub. | 18:42 |
| etio | TE: ok, i'm ready to whipe the 2 partitions off now | 18:42 |
| etio | te: with fdisk you say? | 18:42 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: and I'm logged into a live cd, and waiting for instructions. | 18:42 |
| sveint | anyone experienced with UEFI? I have some problems with dual booting | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Jordan_U: ive read some errors have been fixed with mbr after a grub update with win7 corrupt | 18:43 |
| Jordan_U | sophie_: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. | 18:43 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | sophie_ | 18:43 |
| ubottu | sophie_: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 18:43 |
| Skrillex123 | can i reinstall ubuntu without a usb or disc? | 18:43 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: update-grub never touches the mbr or anything but the single file /boot/grub/grub.cfg . | 18:43 |
| lotuspsychje | jordan_U: how come win7 users corrupt their grub then on dualboots? | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | sophie_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub | 18:45 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: I don't understand your question. Could you try rephrasing it? | 18:45 |
| karen_Deckers | Ok. I will uninstall Unity interface for GNOME.. | 18:45 |
| karen_Deckers | >_> | 18:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Jordan_U: many ppl installing win7 dualboot with ubuntu got a corrupt grub, not booting anything anymore.. | 18:46 |
| BluesKaj | Skrillex123, copy and paste this , cat /proc/asound/modules, into the terminal , need to know which driver/module is loaded | 18:46 |
| sveint | I have installed windows and ubuntu on seperate harddisks, and I have two EFS partitions...UEFI (bios) detects them fine individually, as do GRUB, but selecting windows in GRUB gives EFI path not found.. | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | there we go.. | 18:47 |
| karen_Deckers | i have windows 7 AND ubuntu into my HDD, dont have any troubleshoot =) | 18:47 |
| Jordan_U | lotuspsychje: Installing Windows after Ubuntu will cause you to lose grub as Windows's installer will clobber it. That has nothing to do with the "update-grub" command. | 18:47 |
| karen_Deckers | !BASH | 18:47 |

| sveint | eh, I mean UEFI system partition, not EFS | 18:52 |
| Jordan_U | sveint: The problem is that those Windows entries are for booting Windows via BIOS, but 1: You're booted via UEFI and 2: Your Windows install needs to be loaded via UEFI. | 18:53 |
| sveint | ok | 18:53 |
| sveint | I tried adding soomething to 40_config, but it never got added | 18:53 |

| Jordan_U | sveint: Grub doesn't auto detect UEFI based Windows automatically, so you'll need to add a manual entry in /boot/grub/custom.cfg. | 18:54 |
| paulus68 | what is the highest level of anonymously for a proxy server | 18:54 |

| Jordan_U | sophie_: Did you see my request for you to run boot info script? | 18:57 |
| sveint | Jordan_U, when running update-grub it didn't show those entries, is that normal? | 18:58 |

| Zehle | guntbert: srry, I am reading it, sorry if you missunderstood | 19:10 |
| guntbert | Zehle: no, sorry, take your time, I only asked because of your response (to ubottu ) | 19:10 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: first of all there's something weird, it can't find sda5 but if I remember correctly that's where ubuntu is (though I might be mistaken). so if I try just mount /dev/sda5 /mnt, it says not found. | 19:10 |
| glitsj16 | etio: http://askubuntu.com/questions/109938/change-hdds-uuid might help | 19:10 |
| Zehle | guntbert: it's okej I wasn't very clear in my words... | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | tnk, in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hde-intel , if the module loads properly there won't be any output | 19:11 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: and second, if I try just mount /dev/sda1 /mnt, it asks me to specify the file system. That's probably because it's a file system not known to ubuntu, which is of no surprise since that's not (as far as I remember) where linux is. | 19:11 |
| etio | thanks glitsj16 | 19:11 |
| te | etio: Still there? | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | tnk, sorry , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 19:12 |
| te | was away... | 19:12 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: and third | 19:12 |
| tnk | snd-hda-intel is already loaded... isn't it? | 19:12 |
| te | etio: How far did you get with it? | 19:12 |
| sophie_ | Jordan_U: well there's no third, but I was always told there must be a third, so... | 19:13 |
| glitsj16 | BlitzHere: have you found the package 'numlockx' ? got side-tracked for a moment | 19:13 |
| te | etio: YOu don't really have to use the uuid because it's not a usb drive. so... | 19:14 |

| tnk | didn't change anything | 19:14 |
| te | etio: Did you create the new one? | 19:14 |
| etio | te: its filesystem is linux. is this correct? | 19:14 |
| etio | te: yes | 19:14 |
| fabian__ | What format should I use to use as File System on a new hard drive? ext4 or 3? | 19:15 |
| te | etio: Did you create filesystem on it yet? | 19:15 |
| BlitzHere | glitsj16: hold on. will search | 19:15 |

| te | etio: Get that done? | 19:16 |
| fabian__ | sure? | 19:16 |
| aaas | is there a way to log in as user2 while keeping all the programs open and session active for user1 like windows? | 19:16 |
| etio | te: sec | 19:16 |
| glitsj16 | BlitzHere: no problem, once installed you'll need to add an autostart item for it, use '/usr/bin/numlockx on' as command | 19:16 |
| aaas | 'switch to another user' | 19:16 |
| te | etio: What it the name of the directory you want to use for the mount point? | 19:17 |
| etio | te: sec, i already created a partition with fdisk | 19:17 |
| etio | te: its filesystem is linux | 19:17 |
| etio | te: http://pastebin.com/8HTUKGM8 | 19:17 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, I think somehow I need to indicate to PulseAudio that Lifecam should be received from the port: usb.. not port: microphone?? | 19:18 |
| fabian__ | How do I rename a disk ? | 19:18 |
| te | etio: mkfs.etx4 /dev/sdb1 #Did you create the filesystem yet? | 19:19 |

| tnk | Huh? | 19:19 |
| sophie_ | my problem is still not solved, can someone else help me? | 19:19 |
| etio | te: did you look at the pastebin? | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | phonon tnk , part of the audio setup | 19:20 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, what is your problem ? | 19:20 |
| tnk | Is this a commandline? | 19:20 |
| etio | te: i think it already takes all the space | 19:20 |
| te | etio: Yes | 19:20 |
| tnk | I don't know what you're asking, BluesKaj | 19:20 |
| etio | te: that partition | 19:20 |
| ResQue | aaas: haha like windows user switching, no linux is a true mutiuser system, user switching in linux is much better | 19:20 |
| etio | te: but ok! ill run it | 19:20 |
| te | etio: I see that you created the partition, but; Did you create the filesystem yet? | 19:20 |
| etio | te: no | 19:20 |
| te | etio: sudo mkfs.etx4 /dev/sdb2 | 19:21 |
| etio | te: allright | 19:21 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: my issue is simple, I can't boot into any OS (I have 2, windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64b). It was working before, and I didn't change anything regarding this. I didn't install a new hdd or anything. The computer was shut down by force. And the file system where / and /home (it's the same partition) might be full. | 19:21 |
| etio | te: sudo mkfs.etx4 /dev/sdb2 | 19:21 |
| etio | te: mkfs.etx4: command not found | 19:21 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: and I don't even see grub. | 19:21 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: I am logged into a live cd and waiting for instructions. | 19:22 |
| rbik | he all, I having that bluetooth problem on my Toshiba satellite well always had it now with 12.04 any ideas. And yes I do have it on my comp. | 19:22 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, what happens when you boot the computer ? | 19:22 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: it says 'no OS found'. | 19:22 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: although there's win7 and ubuntu on it. | 19:23 |
| aaas | ResQue I just want to swtch, from gnome to another user and login and have those two sessions simultaneous, how do i do that | 19:23 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: I don't even see grub | 19:23 |
| ResQue | aaas: just click the gearss symbol in the top right hand cornor, click lock screen, and then click switch user | 19:23 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, if it's about you loose a system, would you rather loose windows or ubuntu? | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | tnk, audio settings gtstreamer | 19:23 |
| auronandace | sophie_: fire up gparted, do you see the partitions? | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rbik: if you run: dmesg | grep -i blue do you see outputs relating to the bluetooth device? Do you dual boot the system? | 19:24 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: haha. | 19:24 |
| aaas | ResQue there it is, thanks | 19:24 |
| ResQue | aaas: :-D | 19:24 |

| te | etio: While that is working... tell me the directory name you want to use? | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rbik: seems it's detected. If you run: sudo hcitool dev does it list the device? | 19:26 |
| etio | te: /media/hdd2/ | 19:26 |
| te | etio: What are you going to put in it? | 19:27 |
| etio | te: data! | 19:27 |
| etio | te: a folder | 19:27 |
| rbik | no | 19:27 |
| etio | te: containing movies | 19:27 |
| te | etio: vidoes? or movies? | 19:27 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, gstreamer audio settings indicates that there can be sound input, but then it starts highly echoing.. | 19:27 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, I think we're making progress.. | 19:27 |
| te | etio: Why not just name it vidoes or Videos or movies or Movies? | 19:27 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, should I make default input pulseaudio instead of alsa? | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rbik: what model Satellite is it please? | 19:28 |
| tnk | when I do that, it gets very feedback-looping.. though.. : -/ | 19:28 |
| etio | te: true | 19:28 |
| te | etio: What is the user name on this system? "etio"? | 19:28 |
| rbik | A660 | 19:28 |
| etio | etio: for sudo ? walter | 19:28 |
| rbik | like the A665 | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rbik: let me search | 19:29 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: oh now I see what's wrong lol. the disk where the systems are supposed to be is just not shown. | 19:29 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, when gstreamer audio settings activates, it shows input is ok in the pavucontrol box.. and I see the blue line move backa nd forth with voice, but then it goes haywire in feedback/echo.. | 19:29 |
| tnk | should I assume that perhaps my mic will now work with a program activating it? | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | tnk then one ctrl needs to be tutned down , yes to pulseaudio and if you wany more control , install pavucontrol , tha gives more options to direct sound to diferent outs and inputs as well | 19:29 |
| te | etio: Ok. Here is what I suggest, "Videos" So, let's create the mount point: mkdir /home/walter/Videos | 19:29 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: ok, so this might explain why it's not booting, and why the chroot command was not working | 19:29 |
| te | etio: Okay? | 19:29 |
| etio | te: hmm | 19:29 |
| Zyewni | How can I modify a launcher shortcut to launch a program with parameters? | 19:30 |
| etio | te: i'd rather have it in /media/hdd2/ tho | 19:30 |
| te | etio: Why? | 19:30 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: now the question is, why is my drive not shown? I didn't even touch it, it's still connected. | 19:30 |
| etio | te: because i might be hosting files for other people | 19:30 |
| auronandace | sophie_: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l? | 19:30 |
| etio | te: i have several users | 19:30 |
| etio | te: so the disk might not be used solely for movies | 19:30 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, I already have pavucontrol, but I can't get the proper configuration! | 19:30 |
| etio | te: but that's in the future | 19:30 |
| te | etio: I don't think that matters. How about /home/walter/mdeia/ | 19:30 |

| ActionParsnip | rbik: if you run: lspci; lsusb do you see bluetooth mentioneed? | 19:32 |
| te | etio: Ok... well you could have just mounted it. | 19:32 |
| te | etio: mount -a | 19:33 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, can't I just somehow rollback to that version? | 19:33 |
| Ziber | So, I'm running out of reasons to keep windows 7 installed on my computer, save two or three. My solution then, for the instances where I need it (itunes, for instance), is to run Virtualbox. I also want to be able to mirror displays when I'm using a projector. Can I pass the VGA port to the VM somehow? This might be more of a question for #vbox. | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | tnk the dropdown in the input options | 19:33 |
| etio | te: i have the wrong line in fstab now, and i rebooted. will that cause problems? | 19:33 |
| te | yep | 19:33 |
| auronandace | sophie_: is that all of them? | 19:33 |
| etio | te: it gives connection refused trough ssh | 19:33 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: yes, but one of the 2TB is dead, and the 3TB is just for saving in double what's in the 2TB. So in the end, just 2TB. | 19:33 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, what about the dorpdowns? I played with them already... | 19:33 |
| etio | te: oops :D | 19:33 |
| te | etio: Oh well... you can fix it | 19:33 |
| etio | te: not trough ssh i guess? | 19:33 |
| auronandace | sophie_: good to see you know the value of backups | 19:34 |

| === xazax is now known as Guest94587 | ||
| te | etio: Sure, thourgh ssh | 19:34 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: no it's not. There's the system, which is a sdd of roughly 200GB, half for windows 7, and half for ubuntu. But it doesn't show up, and that's why I can't boot. But why doesnt it show up? As i said, it might be full, but is that enough of a reason ? | 19:34 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, what are you asking? input devices lists lifecam and built-in audio stereo | 19:34 |
| etio | te: nope, ssh is refusing my connection | 19:34 |
| tnk | I can't see the blue line move back and forth with the lifecam, though, as I'm supposed to | 19:34 |
| te | etio: Probably not rebooted yet... | 19:34 |
| gsedej | hi! Using 12.04 live cd and wish to make FAT USB disk executable (run programs). I mounted with mount -o rw,exec,umask=1000, but it still says permision denied | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | rbik: i'm seeing a lot of pages saying it's advertised as having bluetooth but in fact doesn't have it | 19:35 |
| rbik | ActionParsnip No I don't. | 19:35 |
| auronandace | sophie_: so you got 4 disks, 1 is the ssd that doesn't show up at all | 19:35 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: yes | 19:35 |
| BluesKaj | tnk , got a mic input on the lifecam ? | 19:35 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, what are you asking? | 19:36 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: for no reason, I didn't open the computer nor did I do anything that might change the mbr or grub or whatever this whole lot is. | 19:36 |
| yannick | ok i'm wired now and not yet in wireless do you want it? | 19:36 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, I'm having difficulty understanding you | 19:36 |
| auronandace | sophie_: i take it that boot script was run from your livecd, so it represents your current situation? (hence why the ssd isn't on it) | 19:36 |
| sophie_ | yes | 19:36 |
| te | etio: Do you not have a monitor and keyboard? | 19:36 |
| Zyewni | How can I modify a launcher shortcut to launch a program with parameters? | 19:36 |
| etio | te: no, but ill hook it up right now | 19:36 |
| etio | te: doesnt seem like i can ssh in | 19:37 |
| etio | te: note that the bad line refers to /dev/sda1 which was already mounted | 19:37 |
| te | etio: Sure you have the IP correct? And that it has rebooted? | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | gsedej: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/problem-executing-scripts-on-mounted-fat32-partition-178934/ | 19:37 |

| Ziber | attempting mirroring displays makes my screen go black and I end up having to restart. any solutions for this? | 19:37 |
| rbik | ActionParsnip ok I'll look into it thanks for all the help! | 19:37 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, if you have anything really important on those systems go the a store next corner and buy a new HDD, reinstall one of the systems and to to check if this HDD is still working. | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | tnk, exactly what I asked , is the a micrphone input on the attached lifecam , otherwise your options are taken up by them | 19:37 |
| etio | te: yes, and yes | 19:37 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: I could open it up but I really doubt it. | 19:38 |
| te | etio: Can you ping the IP? | 19:38 |
| Ziber | Been trying all day to solve this mirroring issue, to no avail :( | 19:38 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, maybe your disk burned. | 19:38 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: the disk was full though, and the computer was shut down by force. I Don't know if this information is relevant. | 19:38 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: I doubt it. | 19:38 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, boot from cd and make a disk test. | 19:39 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: I am logged into a live cd. What disk test are you talking about | 19:39 |
| tnk | BluesKaj, the Lifecam has a USB connection. It is a single connection. There is no separate microphone input. | 19:39 |
| auronandace | sophie_: i can't see that affecting whether the disk is detected | 19:39 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: neither can I, but I'm just so lost that I'm giving away any information that can help you help me. | 19:40 |
| fabian__ | sophie, I am afraid you gonna have to reboot. | 19:40 |
| etio | te: its not up, scanned the ssh port with nmap | 19:40 |
| auronandace | sophie_: it would just run a fsck next time it boots, not cause the disk to completely disappear | 19:40 |
| sophie_ | fabian__: what do you mean by reboot.? | 19:40 |
| etio | te: ill just hook up a monitor | 19:40 |
| Ubunewb | Hi, I am using Rythmbox to play an audio CD. It does not fetch the right Songnames etc, instead it tells me that MusicBrainz cant find the right data.

| gsedej | ActionParsnip, thanks. didn't know about order :) | 19:41 |
| fabian__ | sophie_, when the boot shows a small white keyboard hit any key you gonna see the tests available. | 19:41 |

| Brnocrist | hi | 19:41 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: oh, sorry | 19:41 |
| te | etio: For all you know, it could be doing filesystem check, (it is a periodic function done at boot time). | 19:41 |
| Ziber | Is it a common issue that mirroring my computer (running 12.04) to a projector doesn't work? Extend works just fine. | 19:41 |
| Brnocrist | why this script from udev event doesn't work? http://pastebin.com/iDzAhrK7 the error is: '** Message: Failed to get session bus: The connection is closed' | 19:41 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: what was that about the fsck | 19:41 |
| etio | te: true, we'll find out soon enough | 19:41 |
| bbhoss | this is kinda random, but does anyone know why these other packages aren't going to be installed? : https://gist.github.com/e0101d772a9cdadce866 this is on 12.04 with a custom ruby1.9.1 PPA | 19:41 |
| te | etio: Ok | 19:41 |

| auronandace | sophie_: just saying if the pc was shutdown abruptly then the next boot will begin with an automatic fsck | 19:42 |
| te | etio: This is pretty extensive stuff here on a busy channel, shold have moved to PM. | 19:42 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: oh, well yes you're right. | 19:42 |
| auronandace | sophie_: is the ssd pretty old? not nearing the end of its life? | 19:43 |
| Brnocrist | anyone? | 19:43 |
| sophie_ | so why is my disk not showing in sudo fdisk -l even though it's wired, and even though it was working a few hours ago, and even though it's brand new ? | 19:43 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: no, a few months old | 19:43 |
| guntbert | Ziber: I have no idea, but you might want to tell the channel a little about your hardware (at least about the video card) | 19:43 |
| beandog | sophie_: that's not good. Unhook it and reattach it | 19:43 |
| Ziber | guntbert: intel onboard graphics card, i think. how do i get exact info? lspci? | 19:43 |
| te | sophie_: Disk failure? .... | 19:43 |
| auronandace | sophie_: i'm stumped, the only thing i can suggest is rechecking and reattaching the ssd | 19:44 |

| sophie_ | once again, before I forced the system to shut down, the system was complaining that the disk was full (well, the partition it was on). Could it have overwritten mbr or grub or other things that would make it not appear in gparted anymore? | 19:46 |
| tnk | te, yes.. it's a mic combined with webcam | 19:46 |
| te | tnk: And that it is not muted or turned down? | 19:46 |
| tnk | i can get as far as hearing voice input echoed in gstreamer settings | 19:46 |
| auronandace | sophie_: no, was grub on the ssd? | 19:46 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: yes | 19:47 |
| tnk | but i can't get pavucontrol input adjustments to reflect any edits or show voice input | 19:47 |

| BluesKaj | tnk, did you see my last post above ? | 19:47 |
| te | tnk: Oh, well I dono.. you will have to look for that channel. If it is not a mic plugged into the sound chip, I dono... you will have to check with the webcam's documentation or thier support | 19:47 |
| tnk | te, which is the channel? | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sophie_: you can use bleachbit to clean stuff and renove old kerbnels. Also clear browser cache and run: sudo apt-get clean | 19:48 |
| te | tnk: I don't know. Is it USB? | 19:48 |
| tnk | te, no, it's not the lifecam .. it's a common issue.. was working fine in 11.10.. broked in 12.xx now | 19:48 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: so the question now is why is the disk not recognized anymore even though it was a few hours ago, and even though I didn't touch it. | 19:48 |

| etio | te: press S to skip mounting or M to manually .... | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: what disapperaed? | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sophie_: those are ways to free space | 19:49 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: her ssd | 19:49 |
| sophie_ | ActionParsnip: my disk | 19:49 |
| te | etio: No doubt. Edit /etc/fstab and fix it. | 19:49 |
| etio | te: i did | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sophie_: does it show in BIOS? | 19:49 |
| etio | te: i set it to sdb1 | 19:49 |

| chiggins | I set my desktop up with likewise open and it was working fine, but after an upgrade my user account isn't shown on the login screen. how can i have my domain account show up there? | 19:49 |
| etio | te: still this error | 19:49 |
| beandog | sophie_: sounds like hardware failure | 19:49 |
| guntbert | Ziber: I suppose you tried the approach with "displays"? | 19:49 |
| te | etio: mount /home/walter/media | 19:49 |
| sophie_ | ActionParsnip: I have not checked that. | 19:49 |
| te | etio: Do you get an error? | 19:49 |
| sophie_ | ActionParsnip: however it doesn't show in gparted or fdisk -l | 19:49 |
| Ziber | guntbert: I went to Displays and checked "mirror" | 19:49 |
| Ziber | and then my laptop screen goes black and the projected image freezes. all i can do then is restart. | 19:50 |
| te | etio: Are you rebooting again? | 19:50 |
| etio | te: no, let me try | 19:50 |
| sophie_ | beandog: could hardware failure be triggered by the disk being full ? and how to repair it ? | 19:50 |
| etio | te: uknown filesystem for 'defualts' | 19:50 |
| etio | te: i am skeptical about the etx4 command, did it work? | 19:50 |
| Ziber | brb. | 19:51 |
| te | etio: Check your fstab line | 19:51 |
| etio | te: for what? | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sophie_: if it doesn't show in BIOS then its hardware | 19:51 |
| jacta | is there a way to get corners reponse on bigger area for resize? Finding the current setup really hard to resize windows | 19:51 |

| rrrr | sophie_, you still can exchange the driver controler and save your data. | 19:52 |
| auronandace | sophie_: if it is hardware failure you don't repair it, you replace it (but you don't know if it is hardware failure yet) | 19:52 |
| Ziber | guntbert: well, thanks for trying | 19:52 |
| guntbert | Ziber: but at least you are prepared for those who can help - simply ask the channel again (all in one line) and mention your pastebin | 19:53 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: what does that mean? | 19:53 |
| sophie_ | ActionParsnip: let me check that then. | 19:53 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: I hope it's not then. | 19:53 |
| Ziber | anyone else have experience with mirroring displays on 12.04 (i can extend just fine, but i want to mirror when using a projector). http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/lspci.txt and http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/video_info.txt | 19:54 |
| etio | te: trying your last suggestion now | 19:54 |
| rrrr | sophie_, it means if you HDD is burned you still able to save your data, possibly. | 19:54 |
| auronandace | sophie_: if it is hardware failure then you know where to not buy ssds in the future, and hope you can get money back | 19:54 |

| rrrr | How do I figure a keyboard key to access a weird machine BIOS ? | 19:55 |
| te | etio: To test. mount /home/walter/media | 19:55 |
| tnk | I think the issue is that pavucontrol does NOT activate the microphone | 19:55 |
| tnk | Thus it isn't showing it receiving voice input | 19:55 |

| te | etio: /dev/sdb1 /home/walter/media auto,users,rw 0 0 #Typo correction... | 19:55 |

| rrrr | sophie_, make a disk test. | 19:55 |
| te | etio: Test it, (don't reboot)! | 19:55 |

| zixxy | primeras, just do what the output says, run 'sudo apt-get -f install' - it fixes broken packages | 19:56 |
| te | etio: Ok good. | 19:56 |
| etio | te: i can ssh again | 19:56 |
| wad | rrrr, You're on a laptop and there is a key on your keyboard that does something with the BIOS? | 19:56 |
| etio | te: and the disk works | 19:56 |
| primeras | zixxy: http://pastebin.com/hGqGknf1 | 19:56 |
| rrrr | wad, what? no I am on a desktop machine and I can't figure which key I need to press in order to boot from BIOS. | 19:56 |
| te | etio: Now you know the process. You can do it again. Or you can change the mount point if you want.. etc. | 19:57 |
| primeras | apt-get -f install not working :/ | 19:57 |
| BluesKaj | tnk, ok , how did you get the mic to work ? | 19:57 |
| etio | te: thanks so much | 19:57 |
| te | etio: Of course it works. Why wouldn't it? :) | 19:57 |
| wad | rrrr, ah! It's almost always either F2 or DEL. I just press them alternately as it boots. | 19:57 |

| abo0ody | can anyone tell me how to add a processor/memory gadget to my desktop | 20:05 |
| jacta | Barnabas, xubuntu currently | 20:05 |
| jacta | greasegum, oaky - so not really possible as if? | 20:05 |
| Tonisius | :3 | 20:05 |
| Barnabas | then the selected windows manager indeed will decide how large the buttons in the window is | 20:06 |
| [snake] | primeras, what language do you speak? | 20:06 |
| primeras | [snake]: Turkish | 20:06 |
| Barnabas | jacta, easy to select another in settings->apperance | 20:06 |

| jacta | Barnabas, so its decided by the theme I suppose then? | 20:07 |
| === sharvey_ is now known as sharvey | ||
| greasegum | jacta:: try holding down alt while dragging the window near the corner. | 20:07 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: how did you "install" a bin file? | 20:07 |
| Barnabas | jacta: settings->settings manager | 20:07 |
| greasegum | can't remember whether that feature is a default or not | 20:07 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, I right clicked on it and gave it executable permission | 20:08 |
| [snake] | primeras, try running sudo apt-get -f install | 20:08 |
| greasegum | or you can just change wm under settings | 20:08 |
| [snake] | primeras, with no packages at the end. | 20:08 |
| Barnabas | jacta, under the "style" tab | 20:08 |
| abo0ody | can anyone please tell me how to add processor/memory usage widget to my desktop????????? | 20:08 |

| livingdaylight | auronandace, clip2net | 20:08 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: never heard of it, what does it do? | 20:09 |
| jacta | greasegum, it changes the icon to the resize with the key you said, but it drags it instead :D | 20:09 |
| Barnabas | jacta, I belive "greybird" is standard | 20:09 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, screencapture tool | 20:09 |
| jacta | Barnabas, it is | 20:09 |
| ldz420 | is there a command to find out a list of the recent packages that I installed | 20:09 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: as in a vid or just a pic of the screen? | 20:10 |
| === MagiR2D2 is now known as Magiobiwan | ||
| greasegum | jacta:: weird. yeah just change to a different theme. or choose a different wm. | 20:11 |
| greasegum | I use compiz wm | 20:11 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, after I gave it permission I went into terminal and wrote the file name and it launched an installer. Now it sits as a folder in my home directory and has two diamond shape launchers. One 'clip2net' and the other 'uninstall' | 20:11 |
| rrrr | wad, what key did you say again? F2 or DEL, is that it? | 20:11 |
| [snake] | primeras, the best advice I can give is run " mv /usr/share/pixmaps/nobody.png /usr/share/pixmaps/nobody.png.old " however that might now be a good idea at all. | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ldz420: you can run: less /var/log/dpkg.log and hold PGDN to go to the bottom, then us cursor up to scroll back and review | 20:11 |
| wad | rrrr, yes | 20:11 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, pic of screen, yes, like jing etc | 20:11 |
| rrrr | wad, ok, thank you. | 20:11 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: what's wrong with other screenshot programs? | 20:11 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, http://clip2net.com/en/ | 20:12 |
| [snake] | primeras, this is the part where people correct me because I go out on a limb to do stupid stuff with my install but it's usually not recomended. | 20:12 |

| sophie_ | rrrr: what does that mean | 20:14 |
| rrrr | sophie_, test if it is not burned. | 20:14 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: how to do that | 20:14 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/4087/screenshotfrom201207172.png see what I mean. How do I run it, do you know? | 20:14 |

| sophie_ | rrrr: how is that relevant ? | 20:14 |
| rrrr | primeras, don't paste here! | 20:15 |
| auronandace | livingdaylight: by terminal | 20:15 |
| primeras | ok | 20:15 |
| rrrr | sophie_, yes, because you gonna have to move your ass and make some tests. | 20:15 |
| Zehle | I added all the lines that I needed to sources.list and I wrote the commands needed but still gets the message "An upgrade from Jaunty to lucid is not supported with this tool"...what am I doing wrong... | 20:15 |
| livingdaylight | auronandace, right now I'll take any which way :) | 20:15 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: sure but what tests exactly? | 20:15 |
| bekks | rrrr: Behave. And think about how to test a disk that isnt even detected. | 20:15 |
| rrrr | sophie_, obviously your disk has problems. | 20:15 |
| Zehle | Trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 20:15 |
| bekks | sophie_: Just ignore that, while the disk isnt detected at all. | 20:15 |
| rrrr | sophie_, hardware tests | 20:16 |
| [snake] | primeras, welll... I'm certainly not being very good help. sorry for my unsmartness, I used to be extremely good at linux- or so I thought lol. | 20:16 |
| chiggins | Hey I'm using likewise-open to bind my desktop to my domain, but my user doesn't show up in unity-greeter. How can I have it show up? | 20:16 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: be specific, what is it that you want me to do | 20:16 |
| greasegum | do magic keys work by default in ubuntu? | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Zehle: grab the Karmic alternate ISO and use that to upgrade. Prsonally I suggest you clean install with Precise. | 20:16 |
| beandog | greasegum: I think so | 20:16 |
| rrrr | bekks, no, I am not asking her to test the disk, but test another disk in order to check the disk from another perspective. | 20:16 |
| beandog | greasegum: you mean sysrq keys? | 20:16 |
| greasegum | yeah | 20:16 |
| Zehle | ActionParship: But I wanted to do it online to don't have to use an USB or CD:P | 20:17 |
| beandog | yah, I looked at the config once ... it's enabled | 20:17 |
| rrrr | sophie_, if I were you I would boot from another source, say another harddrive, and put this hd as a slave or at a external device to hardware test it. | 20:17 |
| beandog | greasegum: CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y | 20:17 |
| jacta | me | 20:17 |
| greasegum | ok, cause on my keyboard the SysRq key requires a Fn combo. Could be why they're not working. | 20:18 |
| beandog | yah :T | 20:18 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: yes sure, but once again, what do you mean by "hardware test" it ?? you have said that at least 5 times, and 5 times I have asked you what you meant by that, yet I still don't know what you are suggesting me to do. | 20:18 |
| rrrr | sophie_, if even like that it doesn't mount probably you gonna have to send it to repair the controler of the disk IF you really mind the data, othr hand put this hd on the garbage collector and buy another one. | 20:18 |
| beandog | sophie_: hardware tests are irrelevant if it's not showing up in the BIOS | 20:19 |
| greasegum | stupid lenovo. didn't they know? | 20:19 |
| beandog | greasegum: what problem are you having? | 20:19 |
| sophie_ | beandog: that's what I thought too so that's why I'm asking him to give me more details as to what he means. | 20:19 |
| rrrr | sophie_, well, we are not talking about BOOT from this harddrive anymore, here we ara talking about mounting this hd somewhere. | 20:19 |
| beandog | sophie_: those just run tests on the hard drive itself, to see if there's any obvious mechanical errors | 20:19 |
| bekks | rrrr: It isnt DETECTED, it cannot be mounted. | 20:19 |
| beandog | sophie_: but if the computer isn't even seeing it, then yah ... | 20:20 |
| Zehle | ActionParship: But I wanted to do it online to don't have to use an USB or CD:P | 20:20 |
| beandog | sophie_: I dont suppose you could take a pic of the hardware so we can look at it? | 20:20 |
| rrrr | sophie_, what they are telling you is your disk is damaged and you need to send it to the repair. | 20:20 |
| sophie_ | beandog: what do you mean? | 20:20 |
| greasegum | none right now, but before when I've had the system freeze, sysrq doesn't work when I'm in my hour of need. | 20:20 |
| beandog | sophie_: like, take a pic with your camera phone and upload it somewhere | 20:21 |
| chiggins | exit | 20:21 |
| beandog | greasegum: oh, yah. that sucks | 20:21 |
| bekks | beandog: How is that going to be helpful? | 20:21 |
| rrrr | bekks, well, maybe if she change the hd from inside the machine maybe it a cable or something. | 20:21 |
| sophie_ | beandog: a picture of what, and why would you want it ? | 20:21 |
| beandog | bekks: I'm kinda curious if the cables are broken ... dunno .. it was a shot | 20:21 |
| bekks | rrrr: Then suggest it to her. | 20:21 |
| internetN00b | any one knows an alternative to Maple for Ubuntu? | 20:21 |
| rrrr | bekks, I already did. | 20:21 |
| auronandace | rrrr: she already tried that | 20:21 |
| rrrr | Mmmm... then the hd is broken. | 20:22 |
| beandog | sophie_: to see what the physical configuration is for the hardware. could be something simple | 20:22 |
| sophie_ | so, I tried seeing if my disk was displayed in the BIOS, it's not. I tried changing the wires, I still doesn't show up. [repost] | 20:22 |
| beandog | sophie_: right, a pic of that .. the wires, the hdd, etc. | 20:22 |
| beandog | because something's not right here | 20:22 |
| greasegum | jacta:: oh! forgot to mention you have to use the alt+middle button to resize | 20:22 |
| beandog | sophie_: also, if you have ANOTHER harddrive, try connecting that and seeing if it will display in BIOS | 20:22 |
| beandog | could be bad cables, bad controller, period | 20:22 |
| rrrr | beandog, exactly. | 20:23 |
| beandog | sophie_: also while you're at it, make sure the cables are connected properly to the motherboard | 20:23 |
| rrrr | try another disk, see if it works | 20:23 |
| jacta | greasegum, ill try that, though im on a laptop the most of the time ;) | 20:23 |
| beandog | sophie_: also, do this ... when you boot it up, hold the hdd in your hand, and see if you feel anything moving ... if you do, then it's getting power. if not, then you're not, and that helps narrow it down | 20:23 |
| rrrr | maybe it can be motherboard or something. | 20:23 |
| beandog | rrrr: *nod* | 20:23 |
| sophie_ | beandog: yes it could be as simple as a wire issue, thank you for the suggestion. however, I'd like to remind you that this problem occurred without me messing for the wires, and touching the case in any way, so it's doubtful the wires were the problem. | 20:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | rrrr: check connections and such, could try a different controller on the motherboard | 20:23 |
| beandog | sophie_: it's possible they came unhinged on their own | 20:24 |
| rrrr | ActionPa1snip, you are a genious. | 20:24 |
| andrewh192 | what is the app or addon for thunderbird for a calendar? | 20:24 |
| beandog | sophie_: look, you're going to *have* to do some basic diagnostics if you're serious about rescuing this thing. Throw logic out the window. | 20:24 |
| auronandace | beandog: its a ssd that isn't being detected, no moving parts | 20:24 |
| beandog | auronandace: Hmm. none at all? | 20:24 |
| sophie_ | auronandace: thanks I was about to say that too. | 20:24 |
| auronandace | beandog: i thought thats the whole point of an ssd | 20:25 |
| ActionPa1snip | rrrr: worth a try :) | 20:25 |
| beandog | auronandace: well, it is ... but hmm. .. youre probably right. | 20:25 |
| beandog | sophie_: okay, try another drive | 20:25 |
| andrewh192 | doesn't thunderbird have a addon for a calendar? | 20:25 |
| sophie_ | beandog: I can't tell for sure, but it would seem to me that the ssd is slightly hotter than the case, which would mean it's powered. | 20:25 |
| beandog | sophie_: okay, try another drive, make sure the cables are FIRMLY plugged into the motherboard as well | 20:26 |

| beandog | sophie_: in fact, for the SATA cable (the smaller one) if you have another SATA port, try plugging it into a differen one | 20:26 |
| sophie_ | beandog: I did not try another drive, but I made something which I guess is equivalent: I tried to unplug both cables of a working hdd, and plugging them into the ssd. It didn't work. but the wires did work with the hdd, so it can only be a ssd problem. | 20:27 |
| beandog | ? | 20:27 |
| beandog | can you rephrase that | 20:27 |
| sophie_ | which part | 20:27 |
| kevin_ | Right click of the touchpad on my ASUS N56 in not working. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Any clue about how to fix this? | 20:27 |
| beandog | you didn't try another drive, but you did | 20:28 |
| sophie_ | please notice the difference between hdd and ssd, maybe the phrase will make sense | 20:28 |
| jacta | Can anyone remember where I can disable trackpad while typing? ;) | 20:28 |
| vychune | CAn someone give some support for a Rackable Systems Server? | 20:28 |

| beandog | oh | 20:28 |

| Elesa | Hi. How do I install Wine 1.4 in Natty? | 20:30 |
| rrrr | sophie_, I am about to tell you you gonna need to go deap to the botton of it from now on, if you don't want to deal with that send this hardware to the waranty. | 20:30 |
| ActionPa1snip | !info wine natty | 20:30 |
| ubottu | wine (source: wine1.2): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-0ubuntu6 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 68 kB | 20:30 |
| sophie_ | beandog: is there something I can do about the firmware or whatever ? I heard this is often a issue with ssds... | 20:30 |
| beandog | sophie_: not that I know of. There might be something, but I'm not familiar with SSD drives | 20:31 |
| sophie_ | rrrr: once again, what do you mean? | 20:31 |
| beandog | sophie_: you said it was hot, it might have overheated ... leave it alone for a few hours and try again? | 20:31 |
| Elesa | Isn't 1.4 available? D: | 20:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine1.3 | 20:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: wil install 1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~natty1 | 20:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=natty | 20:31 |
| andrewh192 | says that it can't be installed because its not compatible because of the version of the thunderbird installed | 20:31 |
| sophie_ | beandog: not that hot. | 20:32 |
| andrewh192 | i have thunderbird v13.0.1 | 20:32 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: Natty is EOL real soon, I'd look at upgrading soon | 20:32 |
| beandog | sophie_: you gotta throw logic out the window, and *try* stuff | 20:32 |
| sophie_ | beandog: barely noticeable, in fact. I am not even sure it is hotter than the case itself. | 20:32 |
| beandog | it could be that | 20:32 |
| rrrr | sophie_, you sayed this is a new disk, probably you gonna have to send it to the place where you bought it and get a new one. | 20:32 |
| Elesa | So apt-get install wine1.3 will actually install 1.4? That's cool | 20:32 |
| sophie_ | beandog: yeah, try what ? | 20:32 |
| Elesa | Indeed, I need to upgrade, but I can't right now. | 20:32 |
| beandog | sophie_: you said it was hot, it might have overheated ... leave it alone for a few hours and try again? << | 20:32 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: in that ppa, yes. No idea why | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | andrewh192, try version 14 | 20:32 |
| Elesa | Will 1.3 overwrite my current Wine settings? | 20:33 |
| sophie_ | beandog: I answered to that, I said it was barely hot. | 20:33 |
| beandog | o.O | 20:33 |
| ActionPa1snip | Elesa: no it wil only upgrade the binaries and such | 20:33 |
| andrewh192 | ok, how do i upgrade my version of thunderbird? | 20:33 |
| beandog | And I answered that | 20:33 |

| nimrod10 | euxneks, a very good reason: the juniper VPN client only works with jdk 32 bit. At the moment I'm running firefox + openjdk i386 on an x64 ubuntu 12.04 | 21:34 |
| euxneks | nimrod10: so you want to have x86_64 as well as the 32 bit version..? | 21:34 |
| nimrod10 | euxneks, Muelli wanted to have a 64 bit version on the side | 21:34 |
| Muelli | so nimrod10, why not using apt-get install firefox:amd64 then? | 21:35 |
| nimrod10 | Muelli, wouldn't that uninstall my i386 version that I need for that stuping Juniper VPN ? | 21:35 |
| Muelli | nimrod10: I would expect: no. but better try. | 21:36 |
| nimrod10 | Muelli, doesn't work : | 21:37 |
| nimrod10 | The following packages will be REMOVED | 21:37 |
| nimrod10 | firefox:i386 firefox-globalmenu:i386 | 21:37 |
| Muelli | hm nimrod10. interesting indeed. can you pastebin the full output for us? | 21:37 |
| nimrod10 | sure | 21:38 |
| Moogs | hi everyoen | 21:38 |
| euxneks | nimrod10: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-x86_64/ | 21:38 |
| Moogs | i am trying to get my vpn working for ubuntu 12.04 lts but it says it is not connecting... | 21:39 |
| Moogs | any suggestions? | 21:39 |
| euxneks | put it in /opt/, and make a symlink to firefox64ā¦ To be fair, I don't think you'll notice any step up of performance | 21:39 |
| nimrod10 | Muelli, here you go : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097399/ | 21:39 |
| nimrod10 | euxneks, will try it now | 21:39 |
| Muelli | nimrod10: what does "apt-get install firefox:{i386,amd64}" give you? | 21:41 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, fewk! Just found out that I installed 32bit version instead of 64bit - having 8 gb ram - am I doomed? | 21:41 |
| nimrod10 | Muelli, there is no way you can install them both at the same time with apt | 21:42 |
| nimrod10 | Muelli, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097404/ | 21:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | Check Check | 21:43 |
| FreeRangeRadical | I keep getting this error message: IcedTea was blocked because it is out of date. I update my machine daily, and just updated before logging on here to be sure. How do I update IcedTea, or do I need to? | 21:43 |
| Muelli | hm nimrod10. too bad then. I thought it might work. | 21:43 |
| Muelli | FreeRangeRadical: where do you get this message from? I.e. what did you do, what happened and what did you expect to happen instead? | 21:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | FreeRangeRadical, I believe IcedTea is part of the OpenJDK Java are you aware of that ? | 21:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: you can install the PAE kernel and access up to 64gb RAM with a cheap hack, or you can reinstall with 64bit Ubuntu | 21:44 |
| FreeRangeRadical | I'm getting it on crosswords sites and I got it on a music site...might have been Pandora...can't remember | 21:44 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, seems like htop says 8gb? | 21:45 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: try re-enabling it in the tools>extensions | 21:45 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: what does: uname -a say? | 21:45 |
| FreeRangeRadical | Quantum_Ion, yep I know | 21:45 |

| gnaritas | Ubuntu Server12.04LTS, monit scripts from old server that launch process with sudo -u processName are now leaving hanging sudo's and pid's are the sudo pid rather than child process pid? Anyone have a clue? | 21:46 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, how often will that be possible | 21:47 |
| yannick | ActionPa1snip ? | 21:47 |
| beandog | gnaritas: why is it using sudo? | 21:47 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: will what be possible>? | 21:47 |
| ActionPa1snip | yannick: sup? | 21:47 |
| beandog | gnaritas: also, you tell monit where the pidfile is | 21:47 |
| yannick | why not | 21:47 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Hi, my apt-get seems to have gone missing. | 21:47 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, that apps will use more than 3.2gb? | 21:47 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks, i can't find that extension in the chrome store | 21:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: that will always happen, but the kernel wil be able to access the full 8Gb | 21:48 |
| HiddenKnowledge | My command line says: sudo: apt-get: command not found | 21:48 |
| nimrod10 | euxneks, thanks that 64bit version worked as expected ! | 21:48 |

| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: you're using Chrome? | 21:49 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks - yes | 21:49 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, Think I'm going to reinstall it all - havent really installed something since | 21:49 |
| jacta | but its still lame :\ | 21:49 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: go to chrome://plugins/ then | 21:49 |
| Benkinooby2 | sorry, i meant not the whole system but the programms woring on the cd (media players of all kind) | 21:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | HiddenKnowledge: if you run: sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update | 21:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | HiddenKnowledge: is it ok? | 21:49 |
| yannick | ActionPa1snip just a question | 21:49 |
| HiddenKnowledge | O, yes, maybe my path went dead | 21:49 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Nope, command-not-found | 21:49 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: there should be a "Java" or "IcedTea" option - also, how have you installed Chrome? From a PPA? | 21:50 |
| yannick | private if possible | 21:50 |
| guest-QsTyJX | Stuck on ubuntu 11.10 in guest mode. I can not remember my main account password. Is there a way to reset it from guest? | 21:50 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks: yes, from the PPA | 21:50 |
| HiddenKnowledge | ActionPa1snip: It still doesn't work. | 21:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | yannick: if you must | 21:50 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, just lame I didnt check | 21:50 |
| yannick | so not yet thank you | 21:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | HiddenKnowledge: try: sudo updatedb; locate apt-get does it display anything? | 21:50 |
| guest-QsTyJX | tried going through grub menu but it will not show on my screen. All I remeber is hit enter and got ubuntu six down then enter I have xp | 21:51 |
| HiddenKnowledge | ActionPa1snip: No.. Not even a error or anything. | 21:51 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks: can't find anything for icedtea in the chrome web store. the java extensions seem extraneous. | 21:52 |
| te | !password | guest-QsTyJX | 21:52 |
| ubottu | guest-QsTyJX: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 21:52 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: just a second I'm checking my linux chrome install | 21:52 |
| ActionPa1snip | HiddenKnowledge: you may need to download the deb of apt-get and install it using dpkg | 21:54 |
| HiddenKnowledge | ActionPa1snip: Hmm, please ignore my question.. Sorry for bothering you. :$ | 21:54 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, I guess we only make that error once ;) | 21:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: hehe I guess, its a safe bet though as it will work. It's partly why it's "recommended" | 21:55 |
| HiddenKnowledge | ActionPa1snip: I was in the wrong terminal, darn screen. | 21:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | HiddenKnowledge: haha nm then :) | 21:55 |
| HiddenKnowledge | Thanks! :) | 21:55 |
| thothstriangle | Hello | 21:56 |
| guest-QsTyJX | te tried that but cant see my grub loading. monitor cant seem to pick it up | 21:56 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: Did you see the part about how to stop it? | 21:56 |
| thothstriangle | I have a issue with oneiric the launch pad is visible and will not go away. Any idea how to solve this problem? | 21:57 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: if you hit Esc or Shift while it's bootng, it will stop on the grub screen. | 21:57 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, I can only download with 300kb/s - grrrr! I just want to do it now :) | 21:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | thothstriangle: tried Unity2D session? | 21:57 |
| guest-QsTyJX | te nope. All is see is monitor saying "outof range" just by reflex I remeber (enter) goes to ubuntu and six (down arros) takes me to xp | 21:58 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: A number of keys will work, I think Esc or shift.. | 21:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: you could install with the minimal ISO if you get web access in liveCD | 21:58 |
| thothstriangle | ActionPa1snip: yup | 21:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacta: installs using the packages on the repos rather then installing, then upgrading | 21:58 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: hrm.. sorry I don't know why you receive that error | 21:58 |
| bytesaber_work | i have added PATH=$PATH:/data/myscripts and export PATH to .bash_profile but i still don't see the path showing up with 'env | grep PATH' in my new gnome-terminals. Advise? | 21:58 |
| bytesaber_work | also .bash_profile did not exist prior. | 21:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | bytesaber_work: add the line in ~/.bashrc | 21:58 |
| euxneks | bytesaber_work: try opening a new terminal | 21:58 |
| guest-QsTyJX | te it says (shift) for 9.10 and up | 21:59 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks: yeah, it's got me baffled. chrome is supposed to autoupdate java and flash, but this is weird | 21:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | bytesaber_work: add: export PATH=$PATH:/data/myscripts | 21:59 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: You don't see the rescue mode option? | 21:59 |
| bytesaber_work | ActionPa1snip, ok | 21:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | bytesaber_work: save the new file and run: source ~/.bashrc | 21:59 |
| euxneks | FreeRangeRadical: you could also try removing icedtea-netx and then reinstalling it | 21:59 |
| guest-QsTyJX | te nope it take me right into ubuntu sign in. | 21:59 |
| vychune | hi can someone help me, my ubuntu 12.04 64bit install just says boot error | 22:00 |
| jacta | ActionPa1snip, do you think xubuntu have that? | 22:00 |
| yannick | no | 22:00 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: You are going to have to be able to stop it on the grub screen? | 22:00 |
| bytesaber_work | ActionPa1snip, that worked. not having a .bash_profile a debian thing? | 22:00 |
| LuiX | ActionPa1snip, are you the one who answered my question on ubuntu questions about the delayed 4min login? | 22:00 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: Either that, or you need to use a boot disk. | 22:00 |
| FreeRangeRadical | euxneks: right. i think that's all left to try. thanks for the help!! see ya next time. | 22:01 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: Use a boot disk and chroot over to the system and change the password. | 22:01 |
| guest-QsTyJX | te ok i'll try that. thank you | 22:01 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: What kind of system is it? | 22:01 |
| te | guest-QsTyJX: What kind of keyboard? | 22:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | LuiX: possibly | 22:04 |

| te | Guest26492: What is not working on her wireless network? | 22:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | LuiX: you can use the liveCD and fsck there as the partition won't be mounted then | 22:09 |
| Guest26492 | i cannot connect wirelessly to the internet | 22:10 |
| jiffe98 | is there a way to restore a file from a package installed via apt-get ? | 22:10 |
| LuiX | ActionPa1snip, i've tried running a bare linux and i don't get the correct command. tried fsck /dev/dba and googled it but with no luck | 22:11 |
| Seveas | jiffe98, apt-get install --reinstall packagename | 22:11 |
| te | Guest26492: Is it 80211b or g or..? Is it encrypted? If so what kind of encryption? | 22:11 |
| jiffe98 | Seveas: will that overwrite configuration files? | 22:11 |
| Seveas | no | 22:11 |

| bekks | How can I add an init file in /etc/init.d/ to be executed on startup/stop of my system? | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | bekks, what are you trying to start? those are for services i belive. | 22:29 |
| beandog | bekks: update-rc.d | 22:29 |
| beandog | bekks: or do you mean a custom one | 22:30 |
| bekks | Dr_willis: I have my own init script for starting/stopping virtual machines on bootup/shutdown. All I need to do now is some "magic" to actually execute that script on bootup/shutdown. | 22:30 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi is there a repo / good tuto to have gns3 0.8.3 running stable on ubuntu 12.04 | 22:31 |
| bekks | troulouliou_dev: The devs of GNS3 should know that. | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | !upstart | 22:32 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 22:32 |
| troulouliou_dev | bekks, no answer ;( | 22:32 |
| W|cKeD | Dr_willis, how to unzip a .zip file? hehe | 22:32 |
| beandog | Dr_willis: I hate that page ... but I think I've already mentioned that | 22:33 |
| peterrus | next to nomodeset, what would be safest way to boot the system, but still be able to run X afterwards | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | unzip -e foo.zip I think | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | !info unp | 22:33 |
| ubottu | unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre7 (precise), package size 13 kB, installed size 124 kB | 22:33 |
| bekks | troulouliou_dev: How long did you wait? | 22:33 |
| peterrus | Dr_willis, nice | 22:34 |
| troulouliou_dev | bekks, wrong question :) | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | peterrus, nomodeset does a specific setting to the kernel.. so not sure what you mean by 'safe' e | 22:34 |
| peterrus | Dr_willis, when I boot my system normally I cant get to reach X | 22:34 |
| peterrus | when I boot to recovery mode | 22:34 |
| peterrus | and then resume boot | 22:34 |

| peterrus | it does works | 22:34 |
| peterrus | -s | 22:34 |
| peterrus | bonez2046, isn't that in ubuntu server only? | 22:35 |
| peterrus | not implying you are using ubuntu server, but you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server | 22:35 |
| BrotherGA2 | could anyone suggest a good opensource IRC application for Ubuntu? | 22:36 |

| AcidRain2012 | im looking for a driver for lexmark x5495 printer/scanner, anyone know where to look? | 22:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | ive searched on google quite a bit | 22:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | and ubuntu seems to list every driver for every lexmark printer except the one i need, lol | 22:40 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: can't say for sure, but some lexmark are troublesome to say the least to use with linux :-( | 22:41 |
| AcidRain2012 | grrr... what is a good laser printer that works with linux then? | 22:41 |
| AcidRain2012 | ill use this printer for target practice | 22:41 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: not meant as a discouragement, but I had some bad experiences with lexmark inkjets. | 22:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | its cool, i found this old thing at a shop and dude gave it to me. i mean it looks like one hardcore peice of equipment | 22:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | AcidRain2012: did you check the lexmark site? | 22:42 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest71509 | ||
| AcidRain2012 | ActionPa1snip: i found several sites saying that lexmark supported it for linux and it could be found on their site, but when i searched for "x5495" on their site, i got no results | 22:43 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: I bought a HP all in one printer and hecked beforehand for linux compatibility. you can also try to search for a program called turboprint. It's a commercial linux driver for some lexmark and other brand printers | 22:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | AcidRain2012: try the europe site, it seems to lik linux | 22:44 |
| === KiwiCam is now known as KiwiCAM | ||

| sigmundk_ | Greetings. :-) | 22:44 |
| cndiv | Hello #ubuntu! Does anyone know of a Deskbar replacement that will work in gnome classic? | 22:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | i tried the europe site, found nothing there, but i did find more than on the english site | 22:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | lol | 22:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | or US site rather | 22:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | turboprint not found in repos | 22:47 |
| MoleMan | using Ubuntu 12.04, (in a VM) it has started asking me to authenticate as root for admin tasks, rather than just to authenticate, root and toor aren't working... any suggestions on how to work around/reset? | 22:47 |
| Dr_willis | !dock | cndiv | 22:47 |
| ubottu | cndiv: Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 22:47 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: no, it was a commercial software a few years back | 22:47 |
| AcidRain2012 | ewww, i found it on google and it cost money | 22:48 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: Canone once had a driver for a printer only available on their japanese site. Great, isn't it? | 22:48 |
| * AcidRain2012 pukes | 22:48 | |
| miaumiau | Canon* | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | he said it was 'comercial' | 22:48 |
| miaumiau | Yes, unfortunately, AcidRain2012 | 22:48 |
| basil1x | Ubuntu 12.04LTS Toshiba laptop, Brasero burn slows to 1x at ~45-53%. wodim works normally. this is getting ridiculous, help, pls | 22:48 |
| miaumiau | but might be better than uying a new printer AcidRain2012 | 22:49 |
| cndiv | ubottu, are any of those able to handle external searches? I need gmail, google search, local file search (and contents) | 22:49 |
| ubottu | cndiv: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:49 |
| Dr_willis | Canon is worth avoiding.... | 22:49 |
| AcidRain2012 | sounds horrible, lack of printer support is almost as bad as the first time i saw unity desktop | 22:49 |
| === KiwiCAM is now known as KiwiCam | ||
| miaumiau | Dr_willis: Won't argue that :-) | 22:49 |
| AcidRain2012 | yeah, i saw several sites flaming canon for absolutely no linux support | 22:49 |
| Dr_willis | Unity works very well for me.. Canon on the other hand.. hadent worked well for me.. even Under windows... | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis | Canons windows support and general quality - i find lacking | 22:50 |
| AcidRain2012 | eh... its personal. i hate anything that reminds me of a windows computer. | 22:50 |
| miaumiau | Yeaj, my PIXMA IP just stopped working | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis | AcidRain2012, go back to C64 geos? Oh wait.. it has icons.. thats like windows... | 22:51 |
| AcidRain2012 | icons are ok, everything has icons. | 22:51 |
| Dr_willis | miaumiau, My Canon decided my new Blue Ink Card. was not Blue.. but some other color.. | 22:51 |
| Dr_willis | I find my Brother printers work very very well on linux. | 22:51 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: Anyway, if you buy a printer, you better serch for a good one and check whether people have problems with it using linux or not | 22:51 |
| miaumiau | Dr_willis: I got a HP now, the ink is kinda expensive, but it works, even the scanning function | 22:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | miaumiau: well honestly this is the first time ubuntu has even asked me to install drivers for it. i usually just plug it up, and it works. it prints, scans, copies, faxes (lol) | 22:52 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: so it worked before? | 22:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | no. every other printer i have ever hooked up has worked before | 22:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | id say at least 10 printer/scanners ive hooked up and they work | 22:53 |
| miaumiau | AcidRain2012: ah, ok | 22:53 |
| kcj | Can someone help with my lack of sound? | 22:53 |
| AcidRain2012 | this one looked like some hackers type thing going on with 4 boxes poppin up asking for drivers | 22:53 |
| AcidRain2012 | so today, failed to root lg nitro with linux, failed to hookup printer | 22:54 |
| Jacta | ActionPa1snip: reinstalling right now :o | 22:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | basepi: tried xfburn? | 22:55 |
| Canadian1296 | I installed a command line installation of 12.04 from the alternate DVD. On boot (with nomodeset to get past the black screen), it fails to mount swap_01 or whatever the swap LVM partition is called. After skipping (it does not mount, ever, so i skipped it) it says "Waiting for network configuration", then says waiting for up to 60 more seconds. Any ideas? | 22:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | AcidRain2012: just buy HP in future. HP loves Linux printing :) | 22:56 |
| AcidRain2012 | ActionPa1snip: note taken, im looking at hp laser printers now | 22:56 |

| cndiv | Hi all, I'm looking for a desktop search application that does local file contents, gmail, google search, etc. It also has to run in gnome classic. Does that exist anymore? Please help, I'm really struggling over here. | 22:57 |
| AcidRain2012 | cndiv: like a widget? | 22:58 |
| Moogs | jo | 22:58 |
| beandog | gnome do? | 22:58 |
| beandog | maybe | 22:58 |
| Dr_willis | cndiv, googles 'google-desktop' i thought could do all that. | 22:58 |
| cndiv | anything that's customizable to do all those things. It's for my boss, who has to use ubuntu and won't use anything but gnome classic | 22:59 |
| beandog | cndiv: http://do.cooperteam.net/ | 22:59 |
| cndiv | that's gone now, they discontinued it. That's why the problem | 22:59 |
| Moogs | hi | 22:59 |
| AcidRain2012 | google-desktop doesnt do that | 22:59 |
| cndiv | beandog, that might be it!!!!! | 22:59 |
| cndiv | I've been looking for a long while | 22:59 |
| beandog | I think the project is dead | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | and getting paid by the hr.. to find somthing for a lazy boss.. ;) | 23:00 |
| Jacta | cndiv: what about synapse | 23:00 |
| cndiv | Dr_willis, it's also on top of the entire company I have to support :-) | 23:01 |
| AcidRain2012 | cndiv: what exactly are you trying to do? | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | supporting gnome2 for a company... Hmmm... | 23:01 |
| cndiv | I'm trying to find a replacement for Google Desktop search. It needs to be able to search through local files (and their contents), google search, gmail search, google docs, and hopefully has the ability to plug in additional websites | 23:02 |
| miaumiau | what was that thing called that was included with ubuntu at one point? Beagle or something? Wasn'T that also a local file search application? | 23:02 |
| cndiv | Beagle seems long dead | 23:02 |
| Kanerix | Long live the RPi | 23:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | ... why couldnt u just setup ftp? | 23:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | idk. | 23:03 |
| cndiv | Jacta, synapse seems like a good one as well, thank you | 23:03 |
| miaumiau | cndiv, yeah, it was a few years ago I saw it alive :-) | 23:03 |
| Jacta | cndiv: that very alive afaik - cant live without it | 23:03 |
| cndiv | Beagle is alive? | 23:03 |
| Jacta | synapse afaik | 23:04 |

| MoleMan | how can I reset root passwd from a live CD? | 23:07 |
| Dr_willis | MoleMan, how did you set the root passwd? | 23:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | MoleMan: are you sure its the root pass, and not your user pass? | 23:07 |
| miaumiau | Hm, I wonder why they took beagle out of the standard install | 23:07 |
| MoleMan | I didn't, but when I try to perform 'administrative tasks' it asks me to authenticate as root (not my user, rejects my password) | 23:08 |
| miaumiau | moleman, try sudo su | 23:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | MoleMan: then you need to run the command you are running and prefix it with gksudo | 23:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | miaumiau: use: sudo -i instead | 23:08 |
| malianx | for Cron: 55 */2 * * * should be every 2 hours, at 55 after the hour shouldn't it? | 23:08 |
| MoleMan | but I know my pass is correct as if I 'sudo touch hello' it says you do not have permission to do this... | 23:09 |
| miaumiau | ok, thanks ActionPa1snip | 23:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | MoleMan: is the file system read only? | 23:09 |
| MoleMan | not 'Please try again' as it would if the pass was wrong. and no. | 23:09 |
| zenwryly | I'd like to ensure as much as possible that no network traffic is possible, that all destinations are unreachable, except through an OpenVPN client. So I'd like to do "ip route add unreachable default" as early as possible in network startup. What's the best place to do that? | 23:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | MoleMan: run: sudo -i then retry | 23:09 |
| MoleMan | 1 second, just rebooting out of live CD | 23:10 |
| MoleMan | sudo -i worked, should I just reset the password? or is there something I can do to fix the fact that it was even asking me for it? | 23:11 |
| MoleMan | I think I've managed to get the user management open as root, I'll try toreset the account to admin properly.... | 23:13 |
| beandog | cndiv: did you end up finding something | 23:16 |
| cndiv | beandog, gnome-do looks like it might do the job, but the wiki about it is down | 23:17 |
| cndiv | so I'm trying to find documentation | 23:17 |
| beandog | ok | 23:17 |
| cndiv | beandog, I will be SO happy if it does the things I need it to | 23:18 |
| beandog | cndiv: good luck :) | 23:18 |

| Chilaha | Hi. | 23:53 |
| Chilaha | Does anyone know a good amount about a block called safe eyes? | 23:53 |
| wolfgang_ | Is yellow dog linux ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| bz | yep | 23:54 |
| Rallias | Yellow dog linux is fedora based | 23:54 |
| bz | zykotick9: it is to me | 23:54 |
| wolfgang_ | could it run computer games on a ps3? | 23:54 |
| Chilaha | Can anyone help me stop my block, safeeyes, from being able to see what I'm doing on the computer? | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | wolfgang_: the ps3 has very little RAM like 256MB or something, so very doubtful | 23:55 |
| Chilaha | It does user reports and whenever I go on a site it writes it down. | 23:55 |
| Rallias | wolfgang_, Your questions would be better answered in a channel designated for yellow dog linux support. | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | wolfgang_: linux in the ps3 seems like a waste of time to me... | 23:55 |
| Chilaha | Anyway I can get it so the website can't be seen. | 23:55 |
| Chilaha | Please, can anyone help. A browser that won't show a history? | 23:56 |
| wolfgang_ | zykotick9, i was wondering because i thought there was a chance it couldbe my new computer instead of going and buidling one? | 23:56 |
| Rallias | Chilaha, Are you in private mode? | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | wolfgang_: with the RAM situtation - probably not... | 23:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | wolfgang_: could play terminal games well | 23:56 |
| Chilaha | No. | 23:56 |
| IdleOne | Chilaha: We don't help to circumvent parental control software.. Not to mention it is not an ubuntu issue. | 23:56 |
| Chilaha | I don't know how to do that? | 23:56 |
| wolfgang_ | zykotick9, Is that the only real problem? | 23:57 |
| Chilaha | IdleOne: Where can I find people who will help me do that? | 23:57 |
| IdleOne | Chilaha: No idea, but not in here. | 23:57 |
| Chilaha | OK. Later. | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | wolfgang_: don't know - i decided NOT to get a PS3 after learning the specs... so another personal/channel would have better info | 23:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | wolfgang_: it'll play ninvaders well :) | 23:58 |
| Rallias | it will play visualboyadvanced well | 23:58 |
| wolfgang_ | Actionparsnip was thinking more like minecraft :D | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | ActionPa1snip: i'm "sure" ncurses games is what the OP meant ;) | 23:58 |
| miaumiau | wolfgang_: use of yellow dog linux has also been patched out via firmware iirc | 23:58 |
| Rallias | no way no how will minecraft run on 256 mb ram. | 23:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | zykotick9: it's a game.... ;D | 23:58 |
| Rallias | actually, it will, but that's amd64, not cell. | 23:59 |

| ActionPa1snip | zykotick9: mind you, other consoles don't have much more | 23:59 |
| miaumiau | wolfgang_: as fas as I know not when you have a recent firmware | 23:59 |
| Rallias | wolfgang_, Also, is your ps3's firmware pre-3.21? | 23:59 |
