ActionPa1snipYcarene: I hate that 1337 rubbish, so pointless00:00
wolfgang_Rallias, wouldnt know i always get the updates though so prob not00:00
wolfgang_Why did sony change there mind about yellow dog linux on the ps3?00:00
l337ingDisorderBasic NVIDIA question here: I just hooked up a TV so I have two video outputs. Both are working, but I have it set to TwinView and it seems to just be extending the desktop instead of cloning it... Is there a way to make it clone the output exactly? Both displays have the same resolution00:00
Ralliaswolfgang_, There are ways, but all that I know how to do are illegal, so not to be shared on this channel.00:00
wolfgang_Rallias, Oh ok00:00
IdleOnewolfgang_: PS3/Sony and yellowdog are all offtopic.00:00
IdleOneplease use #ubuntu-offtopic00:01
ActionPa1snipzykotick9: XBOX360 has 512Mb, so could run Lubuntu I guess00:01
wolfgang_IdleOne, Your mean00:01
RalliasActionPa1snip, Does ubuntu have an active CELL port?00:01
IdleOnewolfgang_: I've been called worse. Doesn't change the fact that this is not a chat channel.00:01
zykotick9wolfgang_: incorrect about IdleOne00:01
l337ingDisorderIdleOne is heartless ;)00:01
ActionPa1snipRallias: no idea, I've heard something but it was a long time ago00:01
wolfgang_zykotick, :D00:02
RalliasActionPa1snip, So far as I know, it hasn't been maintained since ~ 9.0400:02
ActionPa1snipRallias: yep, 3 years, sounds about right00:02
RalliasAltho I've got a blade I wish I could install ubuntu server on D:00:02
l337ingDisorderSo can anyone explain why TwinView isn't doing what it says it's supposed to?00:03

ActionPa1snipl337ingDisorder: what video chip?00:04
wolfgang_BYE!00:04
l337ingDisorderActionPa1snip: GeForce 8500 GT00:04
ActionPa1snipl337ingDisorder: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver?00:05
l337ingDisorderActionPa1snip: It is putting output to both displays but it's not cloning, it's just extending00:05
l337ingDisorderActionPa1snip: yep00:05
zykotick9l337ingDisorder: twinview is nvidia's propritary version of xinerama (2 displays acting as 1) - select clone instead00:05
ActionPa1snipl337ingDisorder: if you use nvidia-settings you can set to mirror afaik00:05
l337ingDisorderzykotick9: there's no "Clone" there's "Separate X screen" and "TwinView"00:06
zykotick9l337ingDisorder: neither separate nor twinview is what you want...00:06
l337ingDisorderoooh00:06
l337ingDisorderwait00:06
l337ingDisorderfound it!00:06
l337ingDisorderit wasn't in that dropdown..00:06
l337ingDisorderyou need to choose "TwinView" and then in the "Position" dropdown you choose "Clone" instead of "Right of" or "Left of"00:06

yannickooHey guys, is it possible to move the .ssh directory because I have only access to my /var/www/webX directory and I need to do some scp stuff.00:11
Muelliyannickoo: yes00:11
yannickooAnd I don't have the permission to create a .ssh dir.00:11
Muellithen probably no00:11
yannickooMuelli: :(00:11
yannickooMuelli: why i not just set the path to the .ssh directory in the scp command? ;)00:12
Muelliyannickoo: well. The server deciced where to look for your public keys. And if it is configured to look in a directory you cannot write to, you cannot do anything. Rightfully so.00:12
yannickooUh yeah! "Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh."00:12
yannickoothe "F" parameter00:12
yannickooand "i" - idendity file00:13
Pyrrha_Question about Unity - can you disable the icon shaking thing? In the left side panel.00:14
yannickoobut i need that in the ssh-keygen command00:14
laserlionHi. I'm trying to make a desktop launcher to run a script. Is there a location which these must be stored, or can I just place them wherever I want?00:15
Muellihm laserlion. You can put a .desktop file onto the ~/Desktop I think. If you want it in the launcher thing, try ~/.local/share/applications/00:17
laserlionOk, thanks. What about the actual .sh file? Just somewhere put, so the launcher doesn't look in the wrong directory?00:18
L3topThe launcher should look wherever you tell it to.00:19
Dr_willislaserlion,  if you want it to show in your menus theres a .config/applications directory I think.00:19
Dr_willislaserlion,  the actual .sh. i wouldput in /home/yourusername/bin00:19
Muellilaserlion: the program you want to launch may be located anywhere. Just check that the execution bit is set00:19
zykotick9laserlion: fyi if scripts if you put them in ~/bin they'll be in your path as well (you need to logout/login for it to work after creating ~/bin)00:20
laserlionI'm sorry, zykotick. Can you explain what 'they'll be in my path' means? :)00:21
zykotick9laserlion: it means you could execute it from anywhere, and the shell will find it...00:22
laserlionAlso, thanks for your answers Muelli and Dr_willis!00:22
zykotick9!tab > laserlion00:22
ubottulaserlion, please see my private message00:22

LLUFellow linux ubuntu!  If i've got a file/folder in lets say "/home/user/" with the name "[*] file name" want that copied to "/home/user/*" with the name "file name" Do you know a script what will do something like this?00:36
Dr_willisLLU,  you mean you hae an actual '[*]' in the file name somehow?00:38
LLUno00:38
LLUjust that could be everything00:38
LLUnot really an astrix00:38
Dr_willisgive examples... ;)00:39
escottLLU, the "rename" utility (which is actually just a perl script) might help00:39
L3topLLU: Please give an actual example.00:41
Dr_willisI find the 'qmv' command handy.. but its a little unusual in how it works.00:41
dunpealHow do I make a custom .desktop shortcut appear in Dash?00:42
ActionPa1snipyou can escape the asterisk and it will be treated as a character, rather than a glob and rename it00:42
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications00:42
Dr_willisdunpeal,  you copy it to the proper directory in your home. I think its under .config or .local (not on ubuntu so icant check)00:42
dunpealActionPa1snip: I did... still not there.00:42
dunpealActionPa1snip: I copied it to .local/share/applications00:42
Dr_willisUnless you want it System wide for all users.. then see above. you MAY need to logout/back in or restart unity.00:43
LLUi've got a folder in /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/torrents which is named [Muziek]top2000 and a file [Films]50.50 and i want the folder [Muziek]top2000 to the folder /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Muziek/top2000 and the file [Films]50.50 to the folder /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films00:43
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/application00:43
dunpealActionPa1snip: is there a way to refresh the cache?00:43
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications    sorry00:43
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: you could log off and on I guess00:43
dunpealActionPa1snip: any way to refresh the cache without logoff/on?00:43
Dr_willisLLU,  you most likelky need to do your own scripting for that.  or get fancy with a bash command line. :)00:44
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: try pressing ALT+F2 and run: r00:44
zykotick9LLU: use \ to escape.  like "\[Muzietk\]top2000" or use double Quotes "[Muzietk]top2000"00:45
dunpealActionPa1snip: "r" and Enter?!00:45
dunpealthe program "r"?00:45
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: if memory serves, yes00:45
L3topmv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films   from the directory the subdir is in.00:45
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: just r00:45
Dr_willisdunpeal,  thats how to 'restart'  I belive in gnome3/unity  its like a fancy hotkey. not an actual command.00:45
L3topmv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films from the directory the subdir is in. @ LLU00:45
ActionPa1snipDr_willis: thanks :). Wasn't 100%00:45
zykotick9L3top: ./ is redundant00:46
Dr_willisActionPa1snip,  but i think that may be gnome-shell only. Not unity00:46
ActionPa1snipDr_willis: lets see :D00:46
dunpealActionPa1snip, Dr_willis: I press Alt+f2. Dash comes up. I press r, nothing happens :(00:46
dunpealthink I may need to restart.00:46
LLUbut these will not be the only files that will come in that directory and that I would like to be moved00:46
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: could run:  unity --replace00:46
LLUL3top: so is there a way i just can add a script to the crontab and that I will be done with it?00:47
L3topzykotick9: I believe you are correct, just wasn't sure what starting  with an escape would do, but I know that ./ will be in the right place.00:47
L3topLLU it seems smarter to change how this continues to be created than to check constantly... and you would want the contents of the folder to just be moved I would expect, rather than continually trying to overwrite a folder with another...00:48
ghostchickActionPa1snip,dunpeal,  actually i use setsuid unity (dont know about eventual critics00:49
dunpealActionPa1snip: that messed up my desktop00:49
dunpealanyway, restarting works, but I thought this isn't windows :(00:49
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: it makes unity reload00:49
zykotick9LLU: if you blindly move files at a pre-determined time - mv'ing them could be bad if they're being written to - you might corrupt stuff...00:49
ActionPa1snipdunpeal: restarts can be beneficial00:50
dunpealActionPa1snip: unless anyone has any better suggestions, I think that's how I'm going to do it from now on00:50
tr3ntonrestart doesn't take forever - like in windows, anyway ;)00:50
L3topAssuming that you do not have the ability to change that folder creation LLU, I would preserve both files and move the content if, as zykotick9 says, it is not being written, so you would want to check its modified time and bar it from moving within the last, say 20 min.00:51
L3tops/both files/both folders/00:51
ghostchickdunpeal,  setsuid unity in alt-f200:52
zykotick9ActionPa1snip: "restarts can be beneficial" lol that's funny - 99.999% since may 19, because of 1 instance i couldn't figure out what was going wrong with my system ;)00:52
* L3top is having difficulty with English atm, but hopefully you understood what I was trying to say. Do not move it if it has been touched wtihin the last 20 minutes.00:52
ghostchickdunpeal,  sorry setsid unity00:52
zykotick9ActionPa1snip: but the reboot fixed it ;)00:52

Mattiashow do I start pam_motd? It used to show, but now it stopped showing motd when I logon the ssh00:53
RalliasActionPa1snip, I agree on the "reboots are useful" bit. Every month on the 1st, servers get rebooted.00:53
Mattiasaah nvm00:53
ActionPa1snipRallias: sounds reasonable00:53
MattiasIt doesn't show when I use mosh00:53
MattiasSo how do I enable pam_motd for mosh?00:53
RalliasExcept for 1 which has a client that ALWAYS compalins about reboots because he uses ssh tunnels for his web service.00:53
LLUzykotick9: nothing is using that path exept transmission and i will rename the folders/files when the donwloads are done. But it's on my NAS I would need to move then between samba shares and that is slow. But i don't want to use the command line every time a download has finshed.00:53
zykotick9ActionPa1snip: i agree with you - i'm just joking (sorry OT).  i just strive for stability over features.00:53
Topher82ok I've been googleing for a week and I'm stumped. Everything I can find says I don't need to partition my new SSD to install Kubuntu 12.04 correctly. But after every install it won't do an initial boot. I remember having to do somethig with 'noapci' the last time I installed before the HDD swap to the SSD. I'm just trying to figure out is this something I'm doing wrong in the install (i.e. somethig I need to do to the install to get it to00:54
RalliasTopher82, What told you you don't need to partition your ssd?00:54
LLUi didn't want to move it i would prefer copying because other wise i can't keep seeding the files00:54
zykotick9LLU: rtorrent with ssh is the best torrent solution i've personally come up with - but you gotta be ok with terminal apps00:54
ActionPa1snipzykotick9: it's cool. sometimes it fixes the weirdest things. Had a guy in earlier who's flash audio was faster than the vid. ne reboot later and all is ok00:55
zykotick9LLU: i just drop my torrents into a directory and they get downloaded, simple.00:55
zykotick9ActionPa1snip: i hate flash.  is that blue tint still an issue?00:55
Topher82well all the articles I read said if you are partitioning it into multiple partitions you have to format them the right ways. But if you are using the entire disk it's fine to jsut install.00:56
zykotick9^ fix for blue tint is to disable 3d in the flash options (use fullscreen if required) FYI00:56
RalliasTopher82, You're better off using guided partitioning, not just "no partitioning".00:57
zykotick9Topher82: do you want to save anything or dual boot?00:57
Topher82no it's a fresh SSD and it's only for kubuntu :)00:57
RalliasTopher82, You NEED to partition it00:58
zykotick9Topher82: use the entire disk - simple ;)  (only my opinion)00:58
LLUzykotick9: I really like the webinterface of transmission but you can't say where it should download the files. So i can't do it with my torrent client00:58
zykotick9Rallias: i believe the installer is offering to autocreate a swap and / on the entire disk.00:58
Ralliasyeah, that should be what's done.00:59
zykotick9LLU: sorry man - i obviously know little about transmission (it was never my favourite amoung the gui torrent clients either)00:59
zykotick9LLU: for web i used the lame old apache media thing... forget it's name00:59
yannickooHey guys, I want to transfer a directory via scp. I haven't permission to create the .ssh directory so I created a new config which contains "Host * UserKnownHostsFile XXX IdentiyFile XXX" and I setted the config file to the scp command via the F parameter: scp -F /var/www/webX/files/config html/ user@host:/var/www/virtual/foo/html/import – But I even get the message, that I don't have the permission create the .ssh directory. Any ideas?00:59
Topher82ok see that brings up the other question I was going to ask. should I create with no swap partition. to reduce the number of reads and writes?01:00
noirohey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers01:00
RalliasTopher82, How much ram do you have?01:00
Topher82I tried the OCZ forum but they aren't being useful at all lol.01:00
Topher824GB01:00
escottyannickoo, the existence/nonexistence of a .ssh directory should not affect your ability to scp01:00
RalliasYou'll be fine with no swap.01:00
bekksTopher82: Not a vbox issue :)01:00
LLUzykotick9: If you would know the name that would be awesome! because I'm open to change01:01
Topher82ok cool. someone I work with told me some programs need a swap to work right.01:01
yannickooescott: sure, it needs a ssh key.01:01
yannickooescott: and to be on the known hosts01:01
bekksTopher82: Sorry, wrong channel. Nonetheless, swap is always needed when wanting hibernation to be working.01:01
RalliasIf EVER it's a problem (which it absolutely shouldn't be), you can create a swap .img file.01:01
Topher82ahh shoot01:01
Topher82yea I kinda like that.01:02
zykotick9Topher82: if you care about your SSD - then minimize writes.  my ssd drive from the origional EEEpc 4&8GB models are still working fine today... failure on ssd/solid state is an issue however.  but i have swap on my ssd drive - i'll replace when it burns out - and the speeds are amazing01:02
bekksTopher82: Then you need swap size == ram size.01:02
yannickooescott: when i enter the password it says that it is wrong, but it's right :)01:02
escottyannickoo, if its not in known hosts it will just ask. if you need to specify the private key just say ssh -i id_rsa ...01:02
RalliasTopher82, Unless programs start to fail, don't have swap set up.01:02
yannickooescott: i done it with -F and added a config file with the key and the knonw hosts01:03
RalliasOnce you have the system a few weeks, you can kind of get a feel for your normal ram requirements and make further decisions from there.01:03
Topher82ok I'm going to try that I might need help figuring out the math on the partitions.01:03
Topher82yea I have a spare SSD (they were half price so I bought 2)01:03
Rallias100% to ext4 mounted as /01:03
escottyannickoo, it sounds like you are doing things in a more complicated fashion. it might be making your error messages more confusing01:03
noirohey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers01:04
zykotick9Topher82: if you select entire drive i think it will be automatic, with a suitable swap??? - running without swap will make your system SLOWER01:04
Ralliaszykotick9, running without swap will only slow down if you run out of ram, which he has PLENTY of.01:04
Topher82ok so manually partiiton it to have no swap first. and if that doesn't work I know it's something with noacpi or noapci or whatever right?>01:04
zykotick9!swap01:05
ubottuswap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info01:05
Dr_willisi recall ages ago *like 5+ yrs* some benchmarks where not having any swap caused some sort of slow down. but  that was several kernel versiona back. :)01:05
zykotick9Rallias: incorrect01:05
RalliasThat's completely false. The only time having no swap would slow down a computer is if you didn't have like a gig of free ram for file caching01:05
Ralliaswith 4gb ram, that's not a problem.01:05
zykotick9Rallias: if a system is using swap as memory - you system will be crawling - buy more memory ;)01:06
Topher82*sigh* I love it here. I always get great answers and awesome converstaions always start up :)01:06

Dr_willisTopher82,  you can always make a swap file :)01:06
Topher82well at this point I just want to be able to reboot after install to an OS lol.01:06
RalliasYes. If you find you need it, use a swap file, not a swap partition.01:06

Topher82at what poing in the install do I add that noapci stuff anyway?01:07
yannickooescott: oh it works :o01:07
zykotick9Rallias: swap fils cannot do hibernation...01:07
Dr_willisi tend to always put like a 512mb swap  partition on my Hard drives out of old habbit. just in case i use a live cd. they got some swap to use if needed.01:07
Topher82or is that something I add during grub on the first boot?01:07
Dr_willisTopher82,  that would be a grub/syslinux boot option01:07
zykotick9Dr_willis: another excellent point - swap partitions are used by LiveCDs!01:07
RalliasTopher82, Nah, unless you have an odd computer, which most people don't.01:07
Topher82ok what key do I git to do that? I tried tab, esc, f8, f12, etc... lol I'm pesistent and a little ocd.01:08

ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter01:08

nulldevtraceroute to me is worthless unless it falls at your router ;)01:41
kandinskinulldev, the problem is not with the server, but with my laptop01:41
kandinskiif you do these traceroutes, you'll get a good result for both of them01:41
kandinskiand people in this office are also getting through, so it's not the local wifi router01:41
kandinskinulldev: see above post, it's hiperactivo.com through ssh and http01:41
AcidRain2012also, i cannot install the ati proprietary drivers01:41
Matriks404omg01:41
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit01:41

nulldevkandinski so no ports open at all, not really my bag now, it will all depend on what router your using and opening the outbound in that01:47

When I click to drag something in nautilus (and only nautilus), it appears 1920 pixels to the left and 1080 pixels to the top of the cursor. This results in me having to drag the cursor onto the bottom left monitor in order to drop something on the top-center monitor. It also renders it im01:50

msdaisyYou mean you want gnome desktop instead of unity rodneymillerpca ?02:21
IdleOne!notunity | rodneymillerpca02:21
ubotturodneymillerpca: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic02:21
urbanp00rTerminal doesn't display in color even though i un-commented force_color_prompt=yes in .bashrc. It display fine though if I issue . ~/.bashrc02:21

rodneymillerpcaAh ok gnome I hug. lol02:23
rodneymillerpcaI'm a realy old geek and have little use to learn new .lol02:23
ActionPa1snipurbanp00r: did you run:  source ~/.bashrc   after the change?02:24
ActionPa1sniprodneymillerpca: just install gnome-panel and log off and select the new session02:24
urbanp00rActionPa1snip: yes, but everytime i use terminal do i run that command?02:24
urbanp00rIs . ~/.bashrc not similar to source ~/.bashrc?02:25
RalliasActionPa1snip, I'm not on a ubu system, but I thought ubuntu-classic was the choice installed by default if you want that...02:25

antony__is there any experience linux ubuntu  users  who would recomend for someone who is new to linux  to  use this distro?  i really want to use linux as my primary os?02:25
ActionPa1snipRallias: anything post Natty will use Unity as the default shell, you can install gnome-panel and use that if you wish02:25
xangua!manual | antony__02:25
ubottuantony__: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/02:25
ActionPa1snipantony__: its what Ubuntu is aimed at. New users to linux02:26
RalliasActionPa1snip, Yeah, but I thought you didn't need to install anything additional.02:26
ActionPa1snipRallias: yeah its extra, the defaults are Unity and Unity2D only but you can install what you wish02:26
urbanp00rActionPa1snip: i ran source ~/.bashrc and it displays color in the current terminal. running another terminal will not show the color again. weird.02:27

NictraSavioswithout ccsm** sorry.02:29
ActionPa1snip!shortcuts02:30
ubottuKeyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts02:30
NictraSaviosMouse. Not keyboard.02:30
ActionPa1snipNictraSavios: its just another input device in Xorg, the system doesn't care02:31
NictraSaviosWell, when I try to use system -- > Preferances  --> Keyboard  --> Shortcuts, It dosen't work.02:31
NictraSaviosIt wants a keyboard stroke so it won't take a mouse click as a "key"02:32
RalliasI'm curious... is there any way to have that multi-mouse-cursor setup like google did for their april fools joke but have it real?02:32
urbanp00rActionPa1snip: what if source ~/.bashrc don't work?02:32
naryfaNictraSavios: I'm trying to do the same, I want to use mouse button for workspace scrolling, and can't figure out how to do it02:33
NictraSaviosUnder Windows I just use Logitech Setpoint and using the Autohotkey scripting language... both aren't available in Linux. And now that BTNX has been nerfed upstream thanks to xorg's evdev driver... Were outta luck.02:34
ActionPa1snipurbanp00r: then you'll need to review the setting02:34
urbanp00rActionPa1snip: can i get any clue?02:35
NictraSaviosBecause no good GUI configuration tools for evdev exist...02:35
naryfaNictraSavios: what is evdev? Is that a kernel module?02:35
AdnanHello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea??02:35
NictraSaviosIts an xorg mouse driver and kernel module02:35
ActionPa1snipurbanp00r: what are you trying to achieve?02:36
NictraSaviosBut *some* of us don't particularly like rummaging though xorg configuration files using an arcane syntax to achieve something that takes 45 seconds under other so-called "Legacy" operating systems.02:37
AdnanHello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea??02:39

zytterhi something know how configure IPTABLES02:44
d0lphin_333quixotedon hello :) Sorry about the question but  im having some troubles install ubuntu i, using ubuntu 12.04 desktop i386 but it dont give me image in the install i have one hdmi monitor02:44
quixotedond0lphin_333: did you do upgrade while installing02:45
quixotedond0lphin_333: the problem might be caused by hdmi port not being recognized02:45
d0lphin_333quixotedon no, just clean install02:45
Adnan@minimec any idea??02:45
naryfaNictraSavios: I understand you but that doesn't help hehe02:46
d0lphin_333quixotedon it give image but only when o clik in some keyboard but then i try to install and nathing neither live cd nathing02:46
antony__d0lphin_333: have you tried using a different connection e.g vga or dvi?02:46
minimecAdnan: I see. I guess you have 'autologin' activated and the system cannot load you sessoin correctly. Would that be correct?02:46
quixotedond0lphin_333: have you tried using another port other than hdmi port? like antony__ mentioned?02:46
AdnanYes,auto-login activated @minimec02:47
d0lphin_333quixotedon antony__ , no i dont welll... but strange because i got image at the first when i clik in the keyboard but then clik install and nathing isnt it supost livecd run whith hdmi?02:48
quixotedon!hdmi | d0lphin_33302:48
Adnan@minimec Can you give any solution??02:49
antony__d0lphin_333: i think you should try installing using a different connection, then when you install your graphical drivers that may work.02:49
minimecAdnan: There is a session file, you would have to remove/rename. I am to old/tired to remember the name...02:49
quixotedond0lphin_333: that means the driver wasn't installed properly02:50
d0lphin_333antony__ that what i ask try to avoid because i think strange because i got image at the first so ubuntu linux live cd dont work whith hdmi?02:51

antony__d0lphin_333: i cant say myself, as i dont use a hdmi connection.02:52
quixotedond0lphin_333: we don't know much about the installing hdmi issue.. let me do some research first02:53
flan_suseIs there a web site or central location for Unity lenses and themes? (One that doesn't require adding hard-to-find PPAs, some of which don't even have builds for 12.04).02:53
flan_suseFor 12.04, many themes and lenses aren't even available for 12.04, but only 11.10 and previous.02:54
d0lphin_333antony__ , quixotedon i think it can be because hdmi... not a shure. well thanks anyway, need to try whith other cable whith vga and then if work... update the drivers thanks :)02:54
flan_suseAnd what constitutes a "Unity" theme. A basic GTK3 theme? A Gnome Shell theme?02:54
minimecAdnan: I am pretty sure, that your session configuration is corrupted. Try to rename the folders .compiz --> .compiz-old ; .gnome --> .gnome-old. I an console cp /home/'Adnan'/.compiz /home/'Adnan'/.compiz-old After that try to reboot.02:54
minimecAdnan: It's 'mv', not 'cp'. I have to go to sleep... ;)02:55
ActionPa1snipflan_suse: I believe it just uses the GTK3 theme you use02:55
flan_suseActionPa1snip: Figured so.02:55
ActionPa1snipflan_suse: if you change your wallpaper, the dash shell and unity launcher change colour to match02:56
flan_suseActionPa1snip: Know of any central location / web site? Sort of like how there's a gnome-look.org? (Something like a unity-extras.org?)02:56
greasegumanyone know how to use unetbootin to install to a specific partition?02:56
flan_suseActionPa1snip: I set mine to 100% transparent, so the same thing happens where the wallpaper basically "bleeds" through.02:56
quixotedond0lphin_333: through the search, mostly the problem is based on the sound, but, you'd better do a search yourself for the hardware you're going to use through the hdmi port, to help solve the problem02:56
ActionPa1snipflan_suse: here are some http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/5-nice-gnome-34-themes-ubuntu-ppa.html02:57
bob__Hello all02:57

quixotedonbob__: yes, anything to say?02:57

zykotick9fn-troll: all i'm saying - is there is no need for the mkdir step, just mount to /mnt04:14
phong_how to change sftp port to my own port number instead of port 22?04:15
ikesmasheri am so confused. im not exactly sure im typing things in properly, but nothing happens when i type sudo /mkdir /mnt/sda3...im not really a linux user but i keep this live CD around in case stuff like this DOES happen04:15
phong_currently my sftp use port 2204:15
phong_is there a way to manully assign different port for sftp instead of port 22?04:15
fn-trollikesmasher: nothing should happen visibly after typing "sudo mkdir /mnt/sda3" (not sudo /mkdir - that will either silently fail or give you an error)04:15
ikesmasherit was silent fn-troll...what do i do then04:16
fn-trollsudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda304:16
jamescarrI'm confused... I set the group ownership for /var/www to www-data. I have a user in the www-data group04:16
jamescarryet that user cannot create files in that directory?04:16
chobbsphong_: Pretty sure you need to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Look for the "Port 22" line and change it to the port you'd like to use instead.04:17

ActionPa1snipOpica: what is the issue?04:44
ikesmasher?04:44
JoniiI have Ubuntu 12.04, and I'd like to have a separate launcher and separate place where I can access programs that I have opened04:44
JoniiAre there any good solutions to this? I had a quick glance of Apple OS X way of handling launcher, I liked that04:45
jagginessikesmasher, actually its supposed labelled (it has high ratings inthe app store and is free), can pull photos from the camera to your ipod/iphone/ipad04:45
ActionPa1snipJonii: dash stores recent files and apps you have used..04:45
ikesmasherohhh04:46
ActionPa1snipOpica: also, what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh04:46
ikesmasherthats cool too04:46
zykotick9BTDT_Desk: the fact you use cpu0 and 1 is probably a good sign.  can you start something graphically intensive, and return to a gpu0 & gpu1 monitor?04:46
Opicathe issue is that my internal speakers arent working, only the the extern speakers.... i googled that is a issue od dv 5-7 hp laptops04:46
jagginessdoesnt say ipod on their page, but i just instaleld it on my ipod..04:46
JoniiActionPa1snip: sure, but I'd like to have a nice, clear launcher that's either overview of all programs installed or overview of select few programs I might want to use04:47
jagginessikesmasher, pretty good as it can serve as a backup automatically with apple's cloud service.. (apple gives 5gb free for basic cloud service)04:47
ActionPa1snipJonii: like so: http://www.linuxnov.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Dash-Home-Unity-5.2-Ubuntu-12.04-LTS-Precise-Pangolin.png04:47
ikesmasherah.04:47
BTDT_Deskzykotick9, yeah, primary purpose for this computer is SL + blending so I can relegate that off my laptop. SL will run at around 20fps, which is why I am thinking they're not running in SLI04:47
JoniiEither works. Dashboard has way too few programs, and browsing it takes way too many clicks/button presses, it's not natural using it04:47
ActionPa1snipJonii: you are describing dash, the 2nd icon at the bottom shows all the installed apps, the first are the recent apps and files..04:48
zykotick9BTDT_Desk: i've never run sli...04:48
BTDT_DeskI guess I'm just trying to see if there's any specific place, or a utility I can get, that will show if I am specifically running via SLI.04:48
ActionPa1snipJonii: there is gnomedo I guess04:48
JoniiActionPa1snip: 6 partially random programs with 2 clicks is not good enough. I'd want to have a selection of 10+ programs with 1 click04:48
zykotick9ActionPa1snip: gnome-do is mono :(04:48
BTDT_Desksince for all intents and purposes it simply looks like both video cards are installed and functioning, but they're not working in concert04:49
ActionPa1snipJonii: those are the recent programs, not random at all04:49
ActionPa1snipJonii: whatever you use it will be 2 clicks or a press and a click, think about it04:49

chobbsL3top:  TV first, then amp.06:32
chobbsL3top:  And my roku works just fine through the tv06:32
L3topchobbs: how did you get that HDMI into position 0 btw?06:33
jagginesschobbs, i was once in this sound fixing positiong, it really is awful :o lol http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=67e_1342349298  ( good luck sorry i couldnt get it fixed for ya )06:33
jagginessgnite everyone06:33
chobbsL3top:  Added the following to alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel index=-206:35
L3topshould just stick with the tv for now chobbs.06:35
L3topchobbs: so there is nothing in card 1 then correct?06:35
L3topOne second... there is something weird you have to do for ATI I remember now.06:36
chobbsL3top:  card 1 is now the SB06:36
L3topo rlly06:36
L3topoh btw, did you just reload alsa after that?06:36
chobbsL3top:  right. what i added forced it out of slot 0. I rebooted.06:37
L3topbtw chobbs are you using the fglrx driver in the repo?06:38
kohvihoorhow big is the performance penalty on using ubuntu installed with wubi vs native?06:38
chobbsL3top:  I've got fglrx loaded. How do I confirm that I have it from the repo?06:38
kohvihoorgoogle offers only some old articles on this06:38
L3topthats it.. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1"06:39
L3topdo dat and reboot.06:39
chobbsL3top:  OK, I had tried that before, and ended up with a black screen.06:39
L3topchobbs: if you didnt download the driver from ATI, then you got it from the repo06:39
chobbsL3top:  Which is when I was convinced I wasn't going to get this card working :)06:39
chobbss/was/got/06:39
L3topchobbs: then you have to update grub... this is the only way it can work afaik.06:40
chobbsL3top:  pretty sure I'm using the repo driver.06:40
L3topbtw chobbs... do not be too eager to get the latest ATI stuff... they have dropped support for your card.06:40
L3topwill no longer work.06:41
chobbsL3top:  I've got a new GT 430 showing up tomorrow :) It should get me going (especially with the hint about forcing the onboard SB into card 1.06:41

L3topless of a pain than the ATI.06:42
L3topOur project uses Myth... but we are on an older version... I am sure it will be fine.06:43
chobbsL3top:  when you say update grub, are you talking about something from backports?06:43
L3topchobbs: after you add radeon.audio=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT        you have to update grub06:44
chobbsactually, looking now and I do have radeon.audio=1 in my grub06:44
chobbsL3top:  and I'm looking at it at boot time, so it was updated06:45
L3topchu must to sudo update-grub !!! lol06:45

D1I run an i7 which is a quad core... does choosing the x64 or x86 makes a diff?07:07
L3topIt is a hash number D1, that is generated based on the unique properties of an image. You check to see if your md5sum is identical to the md5sum from where you downloaded.07:07

tensorpuddingD1, yes, it makes a difference, but you can choose either of them07:07

L3topD1 then the image is not the problem. You have some piece of hardware that is tripping it up.07:08

wdpIlikeMoose, and if you're going to buy, or if your controller can only handle 66 mb/s which is ultra dma 66.. udma4 ata/atapi 5 (yeah.. the industry is dumb to have 10 words for 1 thing) you have more or less the same speed as usb 2 would have, if i remember correct.08:25
IlikeMoosewdp: does linux list sata devices as scsi for some reason?08:26
ripthejacker!env08:26
wdpIlikeMoose, yes, it does.08:26
IlikeMoosewdp: looks like i'm in luck i have a 1.5Gbps sata drive08:26
IlikeMoosewdp: all 40 gigs of it08:27
wdpIlikeMoose, no, 1,5gbs will be the link .)08:27

IlikeMoosewdp: here's my drive according to the serial number i got from dmesg http://www.impactcomputers.com/st3402112as.html08:28
wdpIlikeMoose, you can check the speed of your disc using hdparm. but i'm not sure if I should suggest that here as hdparm is also a dangerous tool. However to check the speed: hdparm -tT --direct /dev/sda     <- -tT does timing, --direct avoids the cache. the second number which pops up is the one you're interested in.08:29
wdpIlikeMoose, in my case: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 224 MB in  3.00 seconds =  74.57 MB/sec08:29
wdp(but thats under load)08:29
Onixsinstalling packages automatically loads the app startup?08:29
Onixsduring08:29
IlikeMoosewdp: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 210 MB in  3.02 seconds =  69.49 MB/sec08:30
wdpIlikeMoose, so its like 9,49 mb/s faster than usb2  if you trust the test of hdparm p08:31
wdp:p08:31
IlikeMoosewdp: maybe i'll invest in a nice big fancy 2tb drive :)08:31
wdpIlikeMoose, the 1,5gb/s is about the sata standard, there's sata 1, sata 2, etc - but it'll take me an hour to explain. look that up at some page on the web.08:32
IlikeMoosethanks for the help wdp08:33
wdpIlikeMoose, you're welcome, help the next one with the same problem .)08:34
stedetHi08:37

wdpIlikeMoose, btw. you should make sure your mainboard supports 2tb discs (some olders don't, well the mainboards do, the bios not - check the changelog for bios updates for your mainboard (if you find an update for drivers bigger than xyz gb, you'll probably have to flash) and check the mainboard's manual)08:39

jivoraHi.. I am using a linux module called tc . I want to see logs. where can I see that? syslogs??09:31
ikoniajivora: the module won't log to a syslog09:31
ikoniajivora: what distro are you using and what is this module ?09:32
ikoniawhat information do you actually want on it09:32
jivorai am using a hardy.09:33
BuisSsetc seems like a traffic shaping module09:33
jivoraikonia : i am having two machines.. In one machine tc is working fine. tc is traffic controller. it's a kernel module. In another it's not working09:33
BuisSseif ive not mistaken09:33
jivoraBuisSse : correct.09:33
ikoniaahh, so not a kernel module then09:34
ikoniaok, I thought you where looking at a kernel module with the phrase "module"09:34
BuisSsewell tc has its own logger09:34
BuisSseit doesnt send logs to syslog09:34
BuisSsedoes the module work?09:34
jivoraBuisSse : yes the module works.. i can reduce my bandwidth to 256 kbps in one machine but another when i reduce to 256kbps it gets reduced to 15 - 20 kbps... so i want to check logs..Where is this log file?09:35
BuisSsethe program which ur using will have to generate logs for you09:36
jivoraBuisSse : please tell me a little more.. I did not understand completely... I am using tc. If tc generates logs ,it must write it somewhere. Or do I need to invoke tc with particular options./09:38
TorbenBetaI have photos, I would like to copy. But in the folder, I want to copy from, is every photo two times. One normal (PICTURENUMBER.JPG)and one with a -1 (PICTURENUMBER-1.JPG) appended. What is the regular expression to only copy the normal ones?09:39
BuisSsewell tc by default doesnt generate any logs....09:39
BuisSseyou will need to create a program around tc to generate logs for you09:39
geirhaTorbenBeta: In bash, run   shopt -s extglob   then   cp ./!(*-1.JPG) /path/to/dest/09:41
jivoraBuisSse : ok.. I get it.. But that way all I can log is whether tc is applied or not.. I wanted to see what tc is doing.09:41
TorbenBetageirha, thank you.09:41
TorbenBetaWhat is shopt?09:42
geirhaTorbenBeta: A bash command to enable disable certain shell options.09:42
geirhaTorbenBeta: See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob for more about what you can do with globs09:43
BuisSsejivora : Well...i have a certain knowledge of how tc works, but will not be able to help you with the logging options09:43
TorbenBetageirha, returns me a lot of errors.09:45
geirhaTorbenBeta: What do they say?09:46
jivoraBuisSse : Thanks.09:46
TorbenBetageirha, that I'm too stupid to read.09:46
TorbenBetaI copied and pasted the "then"09:47
geirhaTorbenBeta: Ah. Well, it's important that shopt -s extglob is run on a line by itself, not on the same line like  shopt -s extglob; cp ...09:48
TorbenBetageirha, just noticed09:49
TorbenBetageirha, should I turn it on again, after I'm finished?09:49
geirhaTorbenBeta: Nah, it won't interfere with regular globs. I keep it enabled all the time by having shopt -s extglob in ~/.bashrc09:50

livingdaylightIn Unity 1-click on workspace switcher opens the quadrant and then it takes another double-click for chosen workspace to maximize. Is there a way, I wonder, not to have to double-click? That makes it 3 mouse twitches to switch workspace which isn't as comfortable as it used to be.11:43

turgons_kthi, did u change smthing in the cnofiguration? did u use ccms?13:09
turgonrocki34, use NAT with host. Set the configuration before launching the client.13:09

rocki34turgon: Will I be able to use the wireless card with the host OS and guest?13:10
L3topcorrect ccc... that is why I asked. There isn't one. You would need to create one. Though I am unfamiliar with an lcd brightness setting, to create, kill X (sudo service lightdm stop), Xorg -configure       this will dump an xorg.conf.new into ~    then you can just sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf13:10

cccL3top, ok, I just hope it won't crash my X server !13:11
turgonrocki34, normally yes. u share ur internet between ur host and guest13:11
s_kthiturgon: yes bcoz the error says compiz stopped suddently. and it directs to ubuntu forums or ask ubuntu for help.13:12
martiniturgon: this might help http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/troublefaq.html#prob-bzip213:12
MonkeyDustrocki34  if NAT don't work, try bridged13:12

fatfreddyscathello everyone.13:22
fatfreddyscatI am using Ubuntu Classic (No effects) on a netbook with 12.04. I have two related problems.13:22
fatfreddyscat(1) I cannot disable auto-maximise and it is driving me crazy13:22
fatfreddyscat(2) maximised windows do not have a close or unmaximise button. I have already set appropriate values in gconf for metacity but they seem to have no effect, I have followed any advice I coud find in the forums to no avail - windows still auto maximise. Then, once maximised, there are no buttons to close or un-maximise! I have to use right-clicks or keyboard shortcuts as a workaround. It's *ok* for me, but I'm setting this up for my dad. I13:22
fatfreddyscat need to fix this.13:22

Topher82ok I was here last night getting some help installing kubuntu 12.04 on my new SSD in my laptop and it was working fine and I even ran all my updates, got on my wireless, got chrome installed... go to boot up today and OS not found13:28
Topher82if this something I need to do with partitioning for the SSD to fix this? or is this something with the OS?13:28
compdocTopher82, you do have to enable trim in fstab, but it should work until you do13:29
BluesKajsipior, they appear to be shutting down cleanly , altho i haven't shut the pc off since trying the tune2fs commands. I have rebooted several times .13:29

auronandacekanupatar: i didn't say installing rpms work in 9.0414:41
ubottuRPM 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)14:41

rocki34Is it literally impossible to install aircrack on ubuntu? Even if compiling from source14:42
Resinatorso how can i get this thing to install?14:42
compdocJacruth, its an option that goes in the grub config, then you have to update grub to enable14:42

hex__Rather, I can't find the option to disable them14:57
auronandaceDako300: why the newer kernel?14:57
Dako3000it was avalible14:58
Dako3000but the kernel is self-compiled and it works perfeltly14:58
auronandaceDako3000: it isn't supported, just so you know14:58
Dako3000that makes sense...14:58
Dako3000It isnt supported as in the driver isnt or its impossible to get it to work14:59
L3tophex__: Unity uses compiz. You should be able to affect some changes there in compiz settings manager, and you can, at login, click the ubuntu icon and choose unity 2D. You will have to be more specific if those do not yeild the results you want.14:59

auronandaceL3top: just so you are aware using compiz settings manager can break unity15:01
L3topp1l0t: I would boot to live disk and run fsck -f /dev/sdXY   where x is the drive and y is the partition.15:02

Ziberbut it wont break ubuntu or anything, will it?15:09
Resinatorso is there any other reason aside from the md5 that could cause it to freeze before booting the installation cd?15:09
escottZiber, moving the front of the partition that contains /boot might force you to reinstall grub, but nothing should break otherwise15:09
tjingboemcan i do a check before it will break my system with dpkg, auronandace15:09
tjingboem?15:09
auronandaceResinator: hardware unsupported?15:09
L3topShould not, unless something goes terribly wrong. There is always a risk of catastrophe when altering partition sizes...but it is also fairly common.15:10

L3topZiber: The two do not exactly play together, save that linux will allow you to boot into either, and linux can manipulate your windows partition, however windows will not see linux. By mount the install, I mean, if you have already installed linux, and you are about to install windows, chances are your linux install is on /dev/sda1. you can check this by typing sudo fdisk -l   or typing mount.15:29

malibuglebihan: But is there no way to use the package manager for hte kernel then?15:31
glebihanmalibu, the recommended way is to not upgrade the kernel at all. If you must, then the good way to do it is to use the mainline builds15:31

glebihanmalibu, you're never assured of anything when you use an unsupported kernel15:33

sipiorBluesKaj: odd. that should just affect the order in which the device is fscked. hmm..man page is not terribly clear on the point. glad you got it sorted, anyhow.15:34
glebihanmalibu, then the mainline builds should cause no issue15:34

jbwivL3top, escott: the card is AMD Sapphire Radeon FLEX HD 6770 1GB DDR5 PCIe 2.115:47
IdleOnewelcome15:47
L3topjbwiv: if that does not resolve the issue or makes it worse, try =115:47
L3topI was just curious why it was such lazy reporting jbwiv.15:47
escottazei, you put "export PS1=....." in your /root/.bashrc (or in ~/.bashrc) and it is then interpretted and made into the prompt15:47
jbwivI bought it because I couldn't get nvidia to support 3d acceleration on three monitors15:47
azei... define what ?15:47
Zibersomeone told me about a program for ubuntu that helped with multiple monitor management, but i dont remember what it's called. anyone have any suggestions?15:48
jbwivL3top, ok, I'll give that a go. Could you give me an idea of what this does?15:48
escottazei, all those characters have special meanings. Ziber's PS1 is really simple it is monochrome and says [username@host] (/path/to/cwd) $15:48
L3topjbwiv: It enables or disables KMS modeset15:49
Ziberi like it simple. i have one that sets the title of the window to it, too. but i prefer simplicity.15:49
escottazei, mine is in technicolor.... but you'll have to decide what you like. there are lots of examples online. look at the tldp link i sent you and google for bash prompt examples15:49
giteshIdleOne, It could not solve the problem yet. just update-manager crashed.15:49
IdleOnegitesh: paste the error to pastebin15:49
giteshok15:49
simplewi have run "sudo apt-get install xchat" but than i get that this package doesnt exist, how can this be?15:49
jbwivL3top, this (http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting) indicated using nomodeset. would this be the same thing as radeon.modeset=0?15:50
Resinatorso i tried booting the install cd 3 more times, still nothing15:50
Resinatormust not be compatible :/15:50
Ziberi knew someone who had a :) or a :( at the end of his prompt, depending on whether or not the last command ran successfully.15:50
simplewwhy i cant install xchat????15:50
azeiok fine thanks escott15:50
giteshIdleOne, here:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098509/15:51

azeian other question how to replace $ to € ?15:51
L3topjbwiv: I expect that they will achieve the same result... however I am not positive.15:51
azeion my bash prompt ?15:51
jbwivL3top, ok, thanks. Here goes nothing15:51
simplewZiber: isnt supposed to exist the xchat package in ubuntu repos????15:51
Ziberno idea. i dont use xchat and i avoid using ubuntu repos unless i have to.15:51
xangua(10:49:56) simplew: i have run "sudo apt-get install xchat" and what's the output yo get when you do it¿ tried to update repositories¿15:51
Ziberi perfer self-installing the .deb's15:52
IdleOnegitesh: please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list15:52
escottazei, probably not the best idea, but it would just be a matter of inputting the unicode symbol for the euro currency at the end of the prompt. to get a feel for how things work try the following commands 'export PS1=">"' then 'export PS1="\u >"'15:52
simplewZiber: thats a bad idea, youll have at some time libs issues15:52
imancdoes anyone use guake?  I have it installed but it never appears to stay running. I run it, and it works, then after awhile it needs to be restarted15:52
Zibersimplew: eh, im pretty good at reading for it. repos are obviously easier to manage it.15:53

ThinkT510ryannathans: i'm not going to bother commenting further on that16:00
escottsvend, what makes you say it is version 1.4? because it is glx 1.4?16:00
jbwivescott, L3top: neither radeon.modeset=0 nor nomodeset seemed to make any difference. I'm at a loss16:01

escottsvend, Mesa 8.0.2 implements the OpenGL 3.0 API, but the version reported by glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.0.16:04

escottsvend, this gives a bit more information about the opengl support http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAyNTY. might have some useful links. not a lot you can do except install the proprietary drivers.16:08
shahriyarguliyevgitesh: my Windows crashed but wubi ubuntu fully works and im on it. if I install ubuntu from USB will it erase my HDD?16:08

bazhangshahriyarguliyev, be polite. people here are volunteer16:08
shahriyarguliyevit's OK. I'm here for answer16:09
shah`;]16:09
Slartshahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to16:09
L3topshahriyarguliyev: it depends on the options you choose at install.16:10
L3topThese options are explained in detail in the manual.16:10
Slartshahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such16:10
shahriyarguliyevSLart, ever installed from USB? does it overwrite new OS to the previous one's partition?16:10
L3topshahriyarguliyev: asked and answered.16:10
escottshahriyarguliyev, it behaves the same as a cd16:11
Slartshahriyarguliyev: once again..16:11
Slartshahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to16:11
Slartshahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such16:11
jbwivL3top, are keystrokes like alt+ctrl+f1 embedded within the X server, or are they desktop environment specific?16:11
Slartshahriyarguliyev: and yes, I've installed ubuntu from usb.. several times16:11
shahriyarguliyevi mean my HDD is parted like 100 Gb for C: and 600Gb for D:. If I install new full Ubuntu will it overwrite on 100 GB (C:) part?16:12
L3topI don't actually know jbwiv... Lets try an experiment. sudo service lightdm stop then once at prompt, login then ctrl alt f2 and see if you are asked to login.16:12
L3topshahriyarguliyev: asked and answered.16:12
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: people have already answered you several times16:13
L3topshahriyarguliyev: IF you tell it to, yes. IF you designate other partitions no.16:13
jbwivL3top, that's the thing...I tried stopping lightdm earlier, and I was just dropped to a blank black screen16:13
shahriyarguliyevdude i dont want to risk my 600 Gb IMPORTANT DATA! OK?16:13
jbwivno login prompt16:13
jbwivL3top: had to hard reset box16:13
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: then listen to the answers16:13
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: i hope you have backups16:13
L3topjbwiv: Oh I am definitely going to call that behavior related16:14
jbwivL3top, agreed ;)16:14
jbwivguess I should've mentioned that16:14
L3topNot thinking it has anything at all to do with keybinding.16:14
BluesKajshahriyarguliyev, no need to shout , we can read english in lowercase just fine16:14
Slartshahriyarguliyev: if the data is important.. back it up.. even if you do everything right the installer could crash and kill your data.. so.. backup your important stuff16:14
antukin64-bit here but apt-get still looking in i386 packages?  how to disable?16:14
shahriyarguliyevI dont need apps but DATA inside HDD. dont need backups.16:14
jbwivL3top, it's like it can't communicate with the getty processes16:15
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: haha, don't need backups? yeah, have fun with that...16:15
shahriyarguliyevto backup 600 Gb is impossible16:15
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: no it isn't16:15
shahriyarguliyevwhere to backup then?16:16
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: to an external drive which you have bought for the purpose of backing up16:16
Resinatorim sad this ubuntu install wont work :/16:16
L3topjbwiv: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A216:16
shahriyarguliyevahah i thought you meant clouds...i've no external storage for now16:16
L3topjbwiv: What kernel modules are loaded16:17
ThinkT510shahriyarguliyev: then your data isn't important to you16:17
shahriyarguliyevim saving to buy one16:17
jbwivL3top, Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci16:17
Slartshahriyarguliyev: do as you wish.. but if you have important data you should do a backup *before* installing a new os.. shit happens.. even to the best of us. The ubuntu installer will not overwrite your existing data if you choose the right options.. if I were you I would try the install in a VM first.. but of course.. that depends on how important that data is16:17
L3topjbwiv: I believe this is related to mesagl.16:17
L3topjbwiv: gimme a min... does sudo chvt 1   do anything? (hopefully you will not have to reboot to get back)16:17
jbwivL3top, I'll give it a try. brb16:18
shahriyarguliyevSLart, it is a good idea! i'll install on VM to practice. thanks16:18

L3topshahriyarguliyev: you are trying to load an iso as the hd... not a cd.16:24
Slartshahriyarguliyev: what are you trying to do? the iso file is used in the device manager once you've created a vm16:24
antukinsubz3r0: even with /home included mine never gets over 8GB.  Of course, data dirs in /home/user are linked somewhere  :)16:25
subz3r0antukin, bleh ;)16:25
ThinkT510antukin: ditto, mine is currently at 7.07gb out of 1016:25
escottshahriyarguliyev, an iso is not a virtual machine. once you create the virtual machine you can add the iso as a CD device16:26
subz3r0like the home will grow,too ... if you work a lot with a bunch of pictures... check .thumbnails.... ;) just one example16:26
shahriyarguliyevok got it.. I have ubuntu 11.10, can I upgrade it to 12.04 after installation?  or have to download and install 12.04 ?16:26

subz3r0mwallacesd, started nautilus within ur shell?16:29

mwallacesdI can't understand L3top why it is necessay all the other applications is working properly with the actual drive, why I have to install this i965-va-driver??? Can it crash my desktop???16:37
matland_. o O (that must have been chinese for "yes")16:37
escottmeelu, there was at one point a deb-bootstrap for ubuntu, but i dont think it was ever officially supported. you should try the alternate cd16:37
escott!alternate | meelu16:37
ubottumeelu: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal16:37

subz3r0meelu, netinstall? but never did that before16:38
meelumm16:38
L3topmwallacesd: No. It will not crash your desktop. It is the intel graphics accelleration driver... and evidently whatever this programs gui is, it is tearing up your resources and causing a hard lock. All that file will do is make things run better on your chipset, or have no effect. However I expect it will fix your issue. Please report back with the result.16:38

L3topJak2000: do you have any PPAs installed? ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d; grep -i ppa /etc/apt/sources.list16:51

brandonis there anyway to fix this16:51
heligolandMonkeyDust, but i can't disconnect and reconnect normally. i have to pull out the adapter and put it back in16:52
Jak2000L3top mmm that i remember i havent installed PPAs, how to check?16:52
bharath2L3top: we have ubuntu windows installer but I have to download the entire os through the internet but it is for on time, but if I have offline windows installer I can install it at any time16:52
L3topsmallnation: your login screen is not the same as your desktop. In fact you have the ability to change between 2d and 3d desktop environments at login. I am sure there is a simple setting to change to resize it, I am simply unfamiliar with it.16:52
smallnationIt has these huge ugly borders on both sides of the login screen.16:52

heligolandMonkeyDust, turns out 12.04 has a better time dealing with newer wifi adapters. i ended up buying a new one and it worked out of the box16:53
heligolandMonkeyDust, with one tweak. but now i can't seem to disconnect and reconnect using the network manager16:54
L3topbharath2: you are using wubi... I get that... I have no idea what offline windows installer is or has to do with ubuntu. I guess I cannot help. I would just download the liveCD and be done with it.16:54

heligolandMonkeyDust, me too man. but why is it that if my wifi disconnects, i can't reconnect? it keeps trying over and over and fails. the only thing that works is unplgging and replugging the adapter. once i do that it reconnects instantly16:57

L3topNo colorsother. I do not see any info that is helpful there at all. "Cant make it work" is not a very detailed description of the problem.17:12

TheWhiteHatterk I'm back17:13
TheWhiteHatterat a friends house17:13
TheWhiteHatterso... how do I fix this?17:13
L3topfantastic TheWhiteHatter. Let me look into it. I just need a little time, that I don't know you had ;)17:14
TheWhiteHatterThanks17:14
jactaThough my version dont have Quicktime in there - can be that I have to install Quicktime?17:14
colorsotherokay sorry let me try again here... i have GeForce 8500 GT card... i had a very stable system 10.04LTS and decided to upgrade since the version is outdated.  After a clean install of 11.10 the computer will not bootup without using the nouveau.blacklist=1 option which is fine cause once i get nvidia drivers installed its not a problem.  My issue is i cannot get the nvidida drivers to install properly: resolutions is stuck at 640x480 e17:16
zteamjacta, hmm... maybe it does not support .mov17:16
neldogzhey guys, does grub support background images higher than 1360x768 in ubuntu 12.04?17:16
jactazteam, but the ss from the homepage shows Quicktime :/17:16
PineappleCLockanyone know why when I create a user with `sudo useradd` they can't log into a Samba share, but after I log in as them once they can? The opening screen after I log in as them says "User account created"... didn't useradd do that?17:17
L3topTheWhiteHatter: the first thing I would do is boot to a live CD. I would then mount several things, chroot into the install, and apt-get remove fancontrol. Running from live CD you should have working fans.17:17
PineappleCLockI should preface me logging in as them once is doing so over ssh17:18
giteshMonkeyDust, thanks for the link.17:18

zteamjacta, do you have libavcodec-extra-53 installed?17:19

TheWhiteHatterAlready has a few distros on it17:19
zteamjacta, that should install some extra codecs for you17:20
colorsotherokay one sec17:20
neldogzI got a grub background image set properly at 1920x1080x24 and it wont show unless its 1360x768.. what gives?17:20
bharath2can anyone suggest how to install ubuntu with out partition17:20
jactazteam, it also did, but not quicktime - just saw - flv or mov is the format I need :\17:20
L3topbrandon__: No... I am not sure what the problem is. I would not expect one... but I don't do any gaming... like... at all. I use the hw for compositing/3d/vid accel etc... but this is a bit outside of my comfort zone unfortunately.17:20
skegeekI installed Ubuntu in a VM, but when booted it comes up with a minimal BASH-like scripting interface and presents "GRUB>". Is there a near easy way to fix this without reinstalling?17:22
zteamjacta, okey, well u can try iriverter instead17:22
L3topneldogz: A grub background? 24p? I dunno if grub can even display that.17:23
TheWhiteHatterwill a fedora cd work?17:23
TheWhiteHatterit's all I have17:23
neldogzL3top, i can display a grub background at 1360x768x2417:23
zteamjacta, otherwise there are plenty of web pages which offer video conversation online17:23
jactazteam, file will be around 130mb of not more :\17:24
neldogzjust wish I could match the resolution of my panel17:24
jactaill try the iriverter, zteam17:24
L3topTheWhiteHatter: I am not sure. Worth a try... will either work, or it wont :)17:24

L3topwell thats the problem colorsother. It cannot read the EDID of your monitor.17:26
zteamjacta, yeah do so, is this file going to watched on ipad/iphone or an Ipod?17:26
jactazteam, its for a client - dunno what they use it for :p17:26

jactaI think that too mneptok :)17:27
mneptokjacta: WebM. :)17:28
colorsotherwhy would my install not be able to read my monitor?17:28

tking0036do you guys think that lxde is lighter than xfce18:52
psychogenikchrome is botnet18:52
Ziberi think i really messed something up.18:52

tking0036i am installing either l/x ubuntu on an old comptuer18:53

psychogeniklxde is lighter...but xfce is so much better18:53
tking0036really?18:53

tking0036why is xfce better18:54
bekkstking0036: It has more functions.18:54
NogalHey guys, I'm not at my machine right now but just have a quick general question... I just read that ubuntu ships with xfce, is that true? is it already installed on my system and I can just swap over from time to time?18:56
SeveasNogal, it's not installed by default, but easily installable. When installed you can choose when logging in18:56
ramkrnope ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde, xbuntu is xfce,18:56
xanguaNogal: Xubuntu ships with xfce18:56
ramkrhowever if you have one installed you can install any of the others and at the time of login choose which ever one you want to login too.18:57
buttonshow do I get a listing of installed applications via command line18:57
Nogalalright, so a simple "sudo apt-get install xfce" should do the trick or should I look up documentation before starting?18:57
Seveasbuttons, dpkg -l | grep ^ii18:57
ramkrHowever its a bit messy you will see multiple options for the same function (software i mean)18:57
Seveasbuttons, or dpkg --get-selections18:57

ramkrnever really used wine, have used virtualbox and think that for those who must use wincedos it is a really good option19:20
DanielHoffmanempty19:21
Ziberlets see if i can get itunes to install properly this time in wine then...19:21
L3topZiber: You should not rather iTunes. The best option would be figuring out rythtmbox. For a gazillion reasons it would be offtopic to explore.19:21
ramkrsomeone gave me a zune - probably the most horrible piece of hardware - it only only works with zune software from inside wincedos - so used virtualbox to address that issue19:21
subz3r0Ziber, you may want to test "playonlinux"19:21
Ziberis that the name of a package?19:22
subz3r0Ziber, just checked it. itunes works with playonlinux19:22
subz3r0itunes 7 or 1019:22
glitsj16jacta: there's istanbul in default repo (ogg only i believe) .. or tibesti which does multiple output formats (https://launchpad.net/tibesti) .. probably some others19:23
subz3r0its a frontend for wine. makes the installation easier19:23
L3topZiber to check such things in the future, you can type apt-cache search playonlinux  in a terminal. Very useful. Also check apt-cache policy and apt-cache show.19:23

ramkralso maybe after logging in (through the way you do) try and see if there are any newer kernel updates, apply them and then update grub19:45
SeveasDanielHoffman, ok, go into /etc/sysctl.conf, find the line with ip_forward in it (line 28 on ubuntu 12.04) and uncomment it19:45

aethelrickjollynips, I must say, I've been trying out gnome3 and unity for a while now and I'm sad to report that regular gnome3 is not as stable21:13

MonkeyDustjollynips  unity *is* gnome3 with eye candy21:15
bekksBB42: Instead of XEN, I'd suggest using Virtualbox.21:15
aethelrickjollynips, MonkeyDust, yup unity is a shell running on gnome3, my point was that installing gnome shell instead of unity resulted in flakyness and crashyness for me on 12.04 LTS so I've gone back to unity and it is way more stable21:16
jollynipsMonkeyDust: ah i get you21:16
BB42bekks: Virtual Box/VMWare Workstation I use nearly everyday but I want to try something new... espacially some other stundent mentioned it should be faster. Thanks MonkeyDust21:17
escottBB42, KVM is preferred over xen by many kernel developers, and is also based on libvirt21:18
alexandretry Qemu21:18
MattiasHm, when you use xen, do you limit the hosts resources? I mean, when you configure xen, it looks like you setup a new grub entry for the host OS21:18
MattiasI've only used virtualbox/vmware/kvm21:19
Mattiasxen looks so strange :P21:19
BB42kvm sounds quit interesting21:19

=== UICTamale is now known as BussDriver
BB42Xen is strange... last time I tried to install it Xen Hypervisor for Private use was not realy ready made some nice dumbs :-D21:20
bekksBB42: Virtualbox is KVM in better :)21:20
escottBB42, the xen vs kvm difference is only that xen has a true hypervisor, while kvm runs the vms as processes inside dom0's process map. the kernel developers like kvm because they are kernel developers not hypervisor developers21:20
Mattiasoh21:21
=== BussDriver is now known as UICTamale
Mattiasit must have been this I saw: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen#Configuring_GRUB  which to me looks like limiting the hosts resources, and I don't see why you would want to set dom0_mem?21:23

L3topWhat, specifically, are the machines? Are they intel macs? Are they PPCs? Are they minimacs? Are they macbook pros? etc etc22:15
zteamescott, well, like I said earlier my computer refuses to boot from this usb-stick, I readed that u can fool bios treat the usb-stick like a usb-harddrive by adding a second partition to it22:15
lnettroueok it is a bunch of IBOOK G4's they are all running the OSX OS or they did. and now none boot I got thrown into this just a few days ago. I have not been able to create the boot for ubuntu since I am new to the APPLE world. They are moving to Ubuntu for me22:15
L3topOSX spans many many versions.22:16
L3toplnettroue: if these are PPCs there is a specific version you should use22:16
escottzteam, i dont see how that would matter. bioses can support different boot methods if they choose to, but having one or more partitions shouldn't really matter22:16

escottzteam, what happens when you try to boot the liveUSB22:16
zteamescott, sometimes it boot (quite rarerly, most of the time it refuses, and try to boot from another drive instead22:17
OgredudeI'm pretty confused on one bit of setting up this cron job.  I understand that `blahblah 2>&1` redirects stderr to stdout. But I'm really wanting to throw away any output no matter what. I'm seeing a couple constructions for this when I google, either `blahblah > /dev/null 2>&1` or `blahblah &> /dev/null`. What is the diff between these two and which one should I use?22:17
lnettrouenot personal they use for insurance sells. All there software works in ubuntu so they are changing for me from the mac's and older soft versions. They all have the open firmware not sure version but shoud be same since they are all purchased together. They did have the OSX 10.4 Tiger installed22:18

ppineJordan_U: allright, i will try this then, i am a little affraid tough, if it doenst work, im losing 160gb of music and film23:11
L3topThat isnt exactly true escott...  this is the proper way to move from fglrx back to radeon once installed. They fight. http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2011/10/manually-removing-fglrx-from-ubuntu.html23:11
DanielHoffmanI am having some Ubuntu Gateway problems with my Xbox23:11
Jordan_Uppine: No matter what you do, you should have anything you really care about backed up.23:11
merp_mon, now i have pulseaudio saying i have an input device, and sound settings, thinking I don't??23:11
ibroOk thanks23:11
DanielHoffmani can talk to everyone except for 1 person23:11
escottxlREDlx, see L3top's instructions above23:11
DanielHoffmanit cant join a party23:11
ppineJordan_U: correct, the problem is there's no space for backup atm.23:12
L3topThat was a cursoral look... I have the actual commands in a script... one moment and I will pastebin23:12
monmerp_ > i don't get what you mean - did it stop working?23:12
xlREDlxso just run the 4 commands linked in the blog thing?23:12
ppineJordan_U: but since i figured this would work and u confirming this, i bet my chances.23:12
L3topxlREDlx: http://pastebin.com/RPLqcv6z23:13
L3topThat is the no muss no fuss defacto way to handle flgrx to radeon transition... without fail23:13
ibro 23:13
merp_No, it's just that I'm not sure which application is correct. Pulse is telling me Ubuntu has found my microphone while Sound Settings tells me it hasn't.23:13
moni never really use the sound settings - i'll look at my own setup...23:14
xlREDlxok running now will update if I run into problem/ when its done23:15
ibroWould I lose da contents of my home of I upgrade that way23:15
ibroPanicky23:16
L3topibro: What way? do-release-upgrade?23:17
DanielHoffmanyes and there is a way to do it all with apt-fast23:17
ibroYes23:17
DanielHoffmanif you have it23:17
L3topno ibro... that is why it exists.23:18
* L3top hearts apt-fast, but is unfamilair using it to upgrade to LTS23:18
playmancould any one help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1099205/23:18
ibroFill me in on the way23:18
DanielHoffmanjust go to /etc/apt/sources.list, change natty (or which one you are using) to precise (Ubuntu 12.0423:19
DanielHoffman)23:19
DanielHoffmanand then run sudo apt-fast dist-upgrade23:19
merp_mon, here is what i mean: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/23:19
L3topplayman: most people do not want to follow and read links to try and help. I would rather type this than possibly read a 1000 lines of unuseful information. Please summerize your problem in a few sentences.23:19
ibroApt way would work from 11.04 to 1223:19
drrollerI am having problems installing a package if someone could take a peek - http://pastebin.ca/217233523:19
DanielHoffmanyes, if you do what i said it will work23:20
L3topsame goes for you drroller.23:20
playmanL3top: sorry about that23:20
DanielHoffmanunless ubuntu changed the repositories (ubuntu 11.04 should still work)23:20
L3topibro:  I am sure DanielHoffman is correct if that is what he told you to do.... which it seems to have been.23:20
DanielHoffmanyes it is23:21
ibroThanks you da man23:21
psychogenikHow do I start up my laptop built in webcam on 12.04? it worked during installation23:21
DanielHoffmani would recommend you do it with apt-fast but apt-get should work as well.23:21

DanielHoffmanthanks23:21
merp_Hi guys. I'm having trouble with ubuntu finding my built=in microphone. I'm running 12.04 on a Toshiba Satellite. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have now installed pulse, which says I have a microphone, but my sound settings think otherwise. See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/23:21
merp_Thanks, mon.23:22
L3topmerp_: what version of ubuntu are you on that you had to install pulse?23:22
merp_L3top, 12.04....23:22
ibroTrying it now .23:22
merp_"I'm running 12.04"23:22
L3topmerp_: pulse is installed by default. Color me confused.23:22
merp_Huh.23:23

merp_Thats weird.23:23
benassi:/23:23

L3topplayman: you are much more likely to get a more accurate answer there.23:25
playmanL3top: no I did not, thanks for that23:25
* L3top is on the #linuxmce side of things... bothers him to fix xbmc stuff... lol23:26
benassiL3top,  it's my turn :D23:27

BrotherGA2So I haven't used Ubuntu for about 2-3 years, so I don't really know anything about Unity. I just installed it yesterday and I'm not really digging it. I don't want to give up on it completely, but want to use an alternative in the meantime. Is sudo apt-get install gnome-shell the best way to do this?23:35
zykotick9!notunity | BrotherGA223:36
ubottuBrotherGA2: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic23:36
bwat47BrotherGA2: Its one way to do it, no harm in trying gnome-shell to see if you like it, installing it doesn't bring in many dependencies or anything since ubuntu already uses most of the gnome 3 stack. If you want something more gnome 2 like you can try sudo apt-get install gnome-panel, which gives you a session very similar to gnome 2 (gnome panel ported to gtk3)23:37
DanielHoffmandroller: try sudo apt-et -f install23:37
DanielHoffmandroller: try sudo apt-get -f install23:37
bekksDanielHoffman: How is that going to help?23:37
BrotherGA2Thanks for the suggestions folks zykotick9 ubottu bwat4723:38
nibblynBrotherGA2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic/108916#10891623:38
drrollerDanielHoffman, -f install then my packages that won't install?23:38
bekksIt will forcibly overwrite some file that is provided by a ubuntu package.23:38
DanielHoffmanwell, apt-get -f install corrects dependencies23:39
bekksDanielHoffman: And it will forcibly overwrite that file with another file from some PPA.23:39
zykotick9drroller: the "sudo apt-get -f install" is a general fix apt, it's not going to help in your case.  you have a package issue... 2 packages one file, i'd try removing the old if possible...23:39
Dr_willisBrotherGA2,  Unityhas some really neat features that are not totally obvious. :)  Check out the various Ubuntu blog sites for unity tricks and tips and guides23:41
benassiL3top,  are you there?23:41
L3topno.23:41
DanielHoffmansometimes yes23:42
drrollerzykotick9, How can I tell what package has the conflicting file?23:42
L3topI keed I keed... what did I ask you for?23:42
BrotherGA2Dr_willis: thanks. I'll do some googling. I don't want to give up on it completely, I just don't want to be stuck into just unity until I get more comfortable with it.23:42
drrollerzykotick9,  here is the whole error message http://pastebin.ca/217233523:42
L3topbenassi: ?23:42
Dr_willisBrotherGA2,  i find unity very useable.  With some of the tweaks and addons out for it.. it has some nice features.23:42
benassiL3top, can you help me fix it?23:43
glitsj16drroller: where did you get libjpeg-turbo 1.1.1-20110517? sounds like an older package that's not in 12.04 by default ..23:43
drrollerglitsj16, not sure is that the problem child? how can I uninstall it without knowing its name?23:44
drrollerI tried to open the package manager but it kept trying to autofix without success over and over23:44
glitsj16drroller: that is its name, right there in your error23:45
L3topbenassi: I am like a cat... I am easily distracted by shiny things...23:45
drrollerglitsj16, E: Unable to locate package libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.9023:45
drrollerE: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90'23:45
L3topI do not remember your question benassi.23:46
benassiL3top, I can't record sound.. If I record I get really bad sound.. really bad... with noise.. but when nothing is runing.. that mean pc  i like just turned on I hear myself on speakers.... and it is clear23:46
glitsj16drroller: the package name is libjpeg-turbo8-dev, version is what's after the _ part23:46
Dr_willisthe packate name will no have the Version # in it i imagine.23:46
L3topbenassi: I am outside in the wilderness... my laptop may die before I finish enjoying it. I will return if I drop.23:46
L3topbenassi: You have pulse installed yes? and pavucontrol?23:47
drrollerglitsj16, Package libjpeg-turbo8-dev is not installed, so not removed23:47
benassiyes23:47
benassiL3top, yes both23:48
glitsj16drroller: correct, but that's the one you'd want in 12.04, it's the package called 'libjpeg-turbo' that's causing the issue23:48
L3topbenassi: I would drop them both... though I am not sure that is an approved Ubuntu solution, and talk directly to alsa.23:49
glitsj16drroller: because of that older package (no clue how you got that) the ubuntu precise one won't install23:49
L3top4%23:50
benassiL3top,  so you say.. you want me to deinstall them?23:50
benassiremove*23:50
drrollerglitsj16, It won't let me uninstall, it just keeps going back to - drroller@FileServer:~$ sudo apt-get remove libjpeg-turbo23:51
drrollerYou might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:23:51
drrollerThe following packages have unmet dependencies:23:51
drroller libjpeg8-dev : Depends: libjpeg-turbo8-dev (>= 1.1.90+svn722-1ubuntu6) but it is not going to be installed23:51
L3topbenassi: I do not feel comfortable telling you to do so in an ubuntu support channel... but it would be the first thing I personally did.23:53
L3topbenassi: however I am going to drop soon23:53
glitsj16drroller: i might have missed it but you are on ubuntu 12.04 correct?23:54
drrolleryes, updated from 1023:54
Entriculartest23:54
L3topbenassi: I would not take reccomendations from someone who would not be around in 5 min to guide me the "right" way23:54
benassiman.. I am here 9 hours looking for solution23:55
benassi:"()23:55
L3topsorry benassi... I am here rather a lot... but... I have to do things shortly. I do not believe I will return.23:55
drrollerglitsj16, Yes, upgraded from 1023:56
benassiL3top,  ok cya and thx23:56
L3topbenassi: Google your specific issue. There are known bugs.23:56
glitsj16drroller: okay, before doing what i'm suggesting, better ask confirmation here from more knowledgeable people .. i'd check if there's files called libjpeg-turbo (without 8) under /var/lib/dpkg/info and remove those .. after that my guess is you'll be able to install the precise version .. can someone confirm this might be a leftover from drroller's 10.04?23:57
L3topbenassi: Telling people to google things is frowned upon here... howeve I believe you will find a solution considering the amount of time you spent here.23:58
L3topsee ya23:58
benassiwell I found people with same problem.. but without solution :/ cya23:59
