[00:00] <ActionPa1snip> Ycarene: I hate that 1337 rubbish, so pointless
[00:00] <wolfgang_> Rallias, wouldnt know i always get the updates though so prob not
[00:00] <wolfgang_> Why did sony change there mind about yellow dog linux on the ps3?
[00:00] <l337ingDisorder> Basic 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 resolution
[00:00] <Rallias> wolfgang_, 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 ok
[00:00] <IdleOne> wolfgang_: PS3/Sony and yellowdog are all offtopic.
[00:01] <IdleOne> please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:01] <ActionPa1snip> zykotick9: XBOX360 has 512Mb, so could run Lubuntu I guess
[00:01] <wolfgang_> IdleOne, Your mean
[00:01] <Rallias> ActionPa1snip, Does ubuntu have an active CELL port?
[00:01] <IdleOne> wolfgang_: I've been called worse. Doesn't change the fact that this is not a chat channel.
[00:01] <zykotick9> wolfgang_: incorrect about IdleOne
[00:01] <l337ingDisorder> IdleOne is heartless ;)
[00:01] <ActionPa1snip> Rallias: no idea, I've heard something but it was a long time ago
[00:02] <wolfgang_> zykotick, :D
[00:02] <Rallias> ActionPa1snip, So far as I know, it hasn't been maintained since ~ 9.04
[00:02] <ActionPa1snip> Rallias: yep, 3 years, sounds about right
[00:02] <Rallias> Altho I've got a blade I wish I could install ubuntu server on D:
[00:03] <l337ingDisorder> So can anyone explain why TwinView isn't doing what it says it's supposed to?
[00:03] <l337ingDisorder> (ubu 12.04)
[00:04] <ActionPa1snip> l337ingDisorder: what video chip?
[00:04] <wolfgang_> BYE!
[00:04] <l337ingDisorder> ActionPa1snip: GeForce 8500 GT
[00:05] <ActionPa1snip> l337ingDisorder: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver?
[00:05] <l337ingDisorder> ActionPa1snip: It is putting output to both displays but it's not cloning, it's just extending
[00:05] <l337ingDisorder> ActionPa1snip: yep
[00:05] <zykotick9> l337ingDisorder: twinview is nvidia's propritary version of xinerama (2 displays acting as 1) - select clone instead
[00:05] <ActionPa1snip> l337ingDisorder: if you use nvidia-settings you can set to mirror afaik
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> zykotick9: there's no "Clone" there's "Separate X screen" and "TwinView"
[00:06] <zykotick9> l337ingDisorder: neither separate nor twinview is what you want...
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> oooh
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> wait
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> found it!
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> it wasn't in that dropdown..
[00:06] <l337ingDisorder> you need to choose "TwinView" and then in the "Position" dropdown you choose "Clone" instead of "Right of" or "Left of"
[00:07] <l337ingDisorder> nevertheless thanks for the help guys! :D
[00:07] <ActionPa1snip> np :)
[00:11] <yannickoo> Hey 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] <Muelli> yannickoo: yes
[00:11] <yannickoo> And I don't have the permission to create a .ssh dir.
[00:11] <Muelli> then probably no
[00:11] <yannickoo> Muelli: :(
[00:12] <yannickoo> Muelli: why i not just set the path to the .ssh directory in the scp command? ;)
[00:12] <Muelli> yannickoo: 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] <yannickoo> Uh yeah! "Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh."
[00:12] <yannickoo> the "F" parameter
[00:13] <yannickoo> and "i" - idendity file
[00:14] <Pyrrha_> Question about Unity - can you disable the icon shaking thing? In the left side panel.
[00:14] <yannickoo> but i need that in the ssh-keygen command
[00:15] <laserlion> Hi. 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?
[00:17] <Muelli> hm laserlion. You can put a .desktop file onto the ~/Desktop I think. If you want it in the launcher thing, try ~/.local/share/applications/
[00:18] <laserlion> Ok, thanks. What about the actual .sh file? Just somewhere put, so the launcher doesn't look in the wrong directory?
[00:19] <L3top> The launcher should look wherever you tell it to.
[00:19] <Dr_willis> laserlion,  if you want it to show in your menus theres a .config/applications directory I think.
[00:19] <Dr_willis> laserlion,  the actual .sh. i wouldput in /home/yourusername/bin
[00:19] <Muelli> laserlion: the program you want to launch may be located anywhere. Just check that the execution bit is set
[00:20] <zykotick9> laserlion: 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)
[00:21] <laserlion> I'm sorry, zykotick. Can you explain what 'they'll be in my path' means? :)
[00:22] <zykotick9> laserlion: it means you could execute it from anywhere, and the shell will find it...
[00:22] <laserlion> Also, thanks for your answers Muelli and Dr_willis!
[00:22] <zykotick9> !tab > laserlion
[00:22] <Dr_willis> Time to check up on bash basics about the PATH variable. :)
[00:24] <zykotick9> laserlion: (just in case) ~ means your home directory (so both myself and Dr_willis suggested teh same thing)
[00:25] <laserlion> zykotick9: thanks, I got it now! :)
[00:25] <zykotick9> laserlion: tab to - nice ;)
[00:36] <zytter> hi
[00:36] <LLU> Fellow 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?
[00:38] <Dr_willis> LLU,  you mean you hae an actual '[*]' in the file name somehow?
[00:38] <LLU> no
[00:38] <LLU> just that could be everything
[00:38] <LLU> not really an astrix
[00:39] <Dr_willis> give examples... ;)
[00:39] <escott> LLU, the "rename" utility (which is actually just a perl script) might help
[00:41] <L3top> LLU: Please give an actual example.
[00:41] <Dr_willis> I find the 'qmv' command handy.. but its a little unusual in how it works.
[00:42] <dunpeal> How do I make a custom .desktop shortcut appear in Dash?
[00:42] <ActionPa1snip> you can escape the asterisk and it will be treated as a character, rather than a glob and rename it
[00:42] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications
[00:42] <Dr_willis> dunpeal,  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] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: I did... still not there.
[00:42] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: I copied it to .local/share/applications
[00:43] <Dr_willis> Unless you want it System wide for all users.. then see above. you MAY need to logout/back in or restart unity.
[00:43] <LLU> i'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/Films
[00:43] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/application
[00:43] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: is there a way to refresh the cache?
[00:43] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications    sorry
[00:43] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: you could log off and on I guess
[00:43] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: any way to refresh the cache without logoff/on?
[00:44] <Dr_willis> LLU,  you most likelky need to do your own scripting for that.  or get fancy with a bash command line. :)
[00:44] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: try pressing ALT+F2 and run: r
[00:45] <zykotick9> LLU: use \ to escape.  like "\[Muzietk\]top2000" or use double Quotes "[Muzietk]top2000"
[00:45] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: "r" and Enter?!
[00:45] <dunpeal> the program "r"?
[00:45] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: if memory serves, yes
[00:45] <L3top> mv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films   from the directory the subdir is in.
[00:45] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: just r
[00:45] <Dr_willis> dunpeal,  thats how to 'restart'  I belive in gnome3/unity  its like a fancy hotkey. not an actual command.
[00:45] <L3top> mv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films from the directory the subdir is in. @ LLU
[00:45] <ActionPa1snip> Dr_willis: thanks :). Wasn't 100%
[00:46] <zykotick9> L3top: ./ is redundant
[00:46] <Dr_willis> ActionPa1snip,  but i think that may be gnome-shell only. Not unity
[00:46] <ActionPa1snip> Dr_willis: lets see :D
[00:46] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip, Dr_willis: I press Alt+f2. Dash comes up. I press r, nothing happens :(
[00:46] <dunpeal> think I may need to restart.
[00:46] <LLU> but these will not be the only files that will come in that directory and that I would like to be moved
[00:46] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: could run:  unity --replace
[00:47] <LLU> L3top: so is there a way i just can add a script to the crontab and that I will be done with it?
[00:47] <L3top> zykotick9: 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.
[00:48] <L3top> LLU 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...
[00:49] <ghostchick> ActionPa1snip,dunpeal,  actually i use setsuid unity (dont know about eventual critics
[00:49] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: that messed up my desktop
[00:49] <dunpeal> anyway, restarting works, but I thought this isn't windows :(
[00:49] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: it makes unity reload
[00:49] <zykotick9> LLU: 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...
[00:50] <ActionPa1snip> dunpeal: restarts can be beneficial
[00:50] <dunpeal> ActionPa1snip: unless anyone has any better suggestions, I think that's how I'm going to do it from now on
[00:50] <tr3nton> restart doesn't take forever - like in windows, anyway ;)
[00:51] <L3top> Assuming 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] <L3top> s/both files/both folders/
[00:52] <ghostchick> dunpeal,  setsuid unity in alt-f2
[00:52] <zykotick9> ActionPa1snip: "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] <ghostchick> dunpeal,  sorry setsid unity
[00:52] <zykotick9> ActionPa1snip: but the reboot fixed it ;)
[00:53] <ActionPa1snip> zykotick9: loads new kernels and so on. Cleans ram real good. Lots of things
[00:53] <Mattias> how do I start pam_motd? It used to show, but now it stopped showing motd when I logon the ssh
[00:53] <Rallias> ActionPa1snip, I agree on the "reboots are useful" bit. Every month on the 1st, servers get rebooted.
[00:53] <Mattias> aah nvm
[00:53] <ActionPa1snip> Rallias: sounds reasonable
[00:53] <Mattias> It doesn't show when I use mosh
[00:53] <Mattias> So how do I enable pam_motd for mosh?
[00:53] <Rallias> Except for 1 which has a client that ALWAYS compalins about reboots because he uses ssh tunnels for his web service.
[00:53] <LLU> zykotick9: 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] <zykotick9> ActionPa1snip: i agree with you - i'm just joking (sorry OT).  i just strive for stability over features.
[00:54] <Topher82> ok 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 to
[00:54] <Rallias> Topher82, What told you you don't need to partition your ssd?
[00:54] <LLU> i didn't want to move it i would prefer copying because other wise i can't keep seeding the files
[00:54] <zykotick9> LLU: rtorrent with ssh is the best torrent solution i've personally come up with - but you gotta be ok with terminal apps
[00:55] <ActionPa1snip> zykotick9: 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 ok
[00:55] <zykotick9> LLU: i just drop my torrents into a directory and they get downloaded, simple.
[00:55] <zykotick9> ActionPa1snip: i hate flash.  is that blue tint still an issue?
[00:56] <Topher82> well 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) FYI
[00:57] <Rallias> Topher82, You're better off using guided partitioning, not just "no partitioning".
[00:57] <zykotick9> Topher82: do you want to save anything or dual boot?
[00:57] <Topher82> no it's a fresh SSD and it's only for kubuntu :)
[00:58] <Rallias> Topher82, You NEED to partition it
[00:58] <zykotick9> Topher82: use the entire disk - simple ;)  (only my opinion)
[00:58] <LLU> zykotick9: 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 client
[00:58] <zykotick9> Rallias: i believe the installer is offering to autocreate a swap and / on the entire disk.
[00:59] <Rallias> yeah, that should be what's done.
[00:59] <zykotick9> LLU: sorry man - i obviously know little about transmission (it was never my favourite amoung the gui torrent clients either)
[00:59] <zykotick9> LLU: for web i used the lame old apache media thing... forget it's name
[00:59] <yannickoo> Hey 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?
[01:00] <Topher82> ok 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] <noiro> hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers
[01:00] <Rallias> Topher82, How much ram do you have?
[01:00] <Topher82> I tried the OCZ forum but they aren't being useful at all lol.
[01:00] <Topher82> 4GB
[01:00] <escott> yannickoo, the existence/nonexistence of a .ssh directory should not affect your ability to scp
[01:00] <Rallias> You'll be fine with no swap.
[01:00] <bekks> Topher82: Not a vbox issue :)
[01:01] <LLU> zykotick9: If you would know the name that would be awesome! because I'm open to change
[01:01] <Topher82> ok cool. someone I work with told me some programs need a swap to work right.
[01:01] <yannickoo> escott: sure, it needs a ssh key.
[01:01] <yannickoo> escott: and to be on the known hosts
[01:01] <bekks> Topher82: Sorry, wrong channel. Nonetheless, swap is always needed when wanting hibernation to be working.
[01:01] <Rallias> If EVER it's a problem (which it absolutely shouldn't be), you can create a swap .img file.
[01:01] <Topher82> ahh shoot
[01:02] <Topher82> yea I kinda like that.
[01:02] <zykotick9> Topher82: 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 amazing
[01:02] <bekks> Topher82: Then you need swap size == ram size.
[01:02] <yannickoo> escott: when i enter the password it says that it is wrong, but it's right :)
[01:02] <escott> yannickoo, 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] <Rallias> Topher82, Unless programs start to fail, don't have swap set up.
[01:03] <yannickoo> escott: i done it with -F and added a config file with the key and the knonw hosts
[01:03] <Rallias> Once 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] <Topher82> ok I'm going to try that I might need help figuring out the math on the partitions.
[01:03] <Topher82> yea I have a spare SSD (they were half price so I bought 2)
[01:03] <Rallias> 100% to ext4 mounted as /
[01:03] <escott> yannickoo, it sounds like you are doing things in a more complicated fashion. it might be making your error messages more confusing
[01:04] <noiro> hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers
[01:04] <zykotick9> Topher82: if you select entire drive i think it will be automatic, with a suitable swap??? - running without swap will make your system SLOWER
[01:04] <Rallias> zykotick9, running without swap will only slow down if you run out of ram, which he has PLENTY of.
[01:04] <Topher82> ok 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?>
[01:05] <zykotick9> !swap
[01:05] <Dr_willis> i 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] <zykotick9> Rallias: incorrect
[01:05] <Rallias> That'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 caching
[01:05] <Rallias> with 4gb ram, that's not a problem.
[01:06] <zykotick9> Rallias: 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] <zykotick9> Rallias: incorrect
[01:06] <zykotick9> !swap | Rallias
[01:06] <Dr_willis> Topher82,  you can always make a swap file :)
[01:06] <Topher82> well at this point I just want to be able to reboot after install to an OS lol.
[01:06] <Rallias> Yes. If you find you need it, use a swap file, not a swap partition.
[01:07] <Topher82> at what poing in the install do I add that noapci stuff anyway?
[01:07] <yannickoo> escott: oh it works :o
[01:07] <zykotick9> Rallias: swap fils cannot do hibernation...
[01:07] <Dr_willis> i 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] <Topher82> or is that something I add during grub on the first boot?
[01:07] <Dr_willis> Topher82,  that would be a grub/syslinux boot option
[01:07] <zykotick9> Dr_willis: another excellent point - swap partitions are used by LiveCDs!
[01:07] <Rallias> Topher82, Nah, unless you have an odd computer, which most people don't.
[01:08] <Topher82> ok 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] <Dr_willis> zykotick9,  which can be bad.. if you are trying to repartion that HD. ;)
[01:08] <Dr_willis> Topher82,  the !nomodeset guide shows you
[01:08] <Dr_willis> !nomodeset
[01:08] <Topher82> woot thanks
[01:09] <Dr_willis> Grub = HOLD shift.  Syslinux, tap space when ya see a Man=keyboard icon at the bottom..
[01:09] <Topher82> ok let me go absorb all of this and try another install :) back in a bit
[01:09] <Dr_willis> or tap space like a woodpecker after drinking a double capachino..
[01:09] <zykotick9> Dr_willis: ;) another excellent point (re: partioning from livecd and having to disable swap first)
[01:09] <Rallias> Seriously tho, I want to see benchmarks of a 4gb ram i7 system with and without swap. I highly doubt there's any performance deficit on the without swap system.
[01:15] <noiro> hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers
[01:15] <noiro> But gnome-shell keeps putting me in fallback

[01:23] <Rallias> Jagst3r15, sudo apt-get install iced-tea openjdk-7
[01:23] <Rallias> er...
[01:23] <nulldev> nogal so you want your irc client to automatically log in? Not to bot?
[01:23] <Nogal> I just tried something from that link. I'm going to close the client and come back in to test it.
[01:23] <Rallias> i'm not sure on the openjdk-7 part...
[01:23] <Nogal> nulldev, yes. I'm testing this, one sec
[01:24] <Rallias> installing programs was much easier to explain when synaptic was the default.
[01:25] <nulldev> not to bot I hope*
[01:25] <IdleOne> Jagst3r15: sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
[01:25] <Nogal> I'm back, and the link worked, thank you!
[01:25] <IdleOne> Welcome
[01:25] <Jagst3r15> thanks

[01:29] <nulldev> ooops very sorry crackling not cracking
[01:30] <jerry_l> audio, i can  try.
[01:30] <kandinski> this is nuts, I try to access my server, and it looks firewalled on my own laptop (my coworkers can see it)
[01:30] <Harris> ActionPa1snip,  i have to type the code modprobe b43 for my wifi to work how do i make it automatic
[01:31] <kandinski> I am running 12.04, and have no idea what can it be, any clue?
[01:31] <nulldev> kandinski its your local router then what you trying to connect to?
[01:31] <Harris> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[01:31] <kandinski> nulldev, no, it's my server, which is on linode
[01:32] <kandinski> I can traceroute to linode.com, bu tnot to my server
[01:32] <nulldev> kandinski server? web/ftp/irc/ssh?
[01:32] <kandinski> my coworker can traceroute to both
[01:32] <ActionPa1snip> Harris: run:  echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null
[01:32] <ActionPa1snip> Harris: it will load at boot automagically
[01:32] <nulldev> kandinski server? web/ftp/irc/ssh?
[01:32] <minimec> Harris: add 'b43' in /etc/modules
[01:33] <aaas> anyone have any experience routing apache error.log to the rsyslog daemon
[01:34] <nulldev> kandinski stop pasting trace routes too :)
[01:34] <ActionPa1snip> aaas: ask in #apache as well :)
[01:34] <kandinski> on the same wifi router, so it has to be my laptop
[01:34] <kandinski> ah, a good cmd line pastebin client?
[01:34] <kandinski> prefrably a non-pastebin.com pastebin
[01:34] <kandinski> nulldev: all of it, it's an ubuntu server
[01:34] <kandinski> but I can't even traceroute to it
[01:35] <nulldev> aaas if you get thast error your using apache maps , there broken
[01:35] <kandinski> nulldev: I never did!
[01:35] <kandinski> nulldev: that's naughty
[01:36] <nulldev> kandinski servers unless firewall permits wont respond to ping port 80 open wont matter as 80 uses tcp and ping is icmp so the firewall will let 80 tcp but not ping
[01:36] <AcidRain2012> i have an emerson tv, when i change the monitor settings to 1280x768 (16:10), i get nothing. when i change it to 1280x720 (16:9) and i goto the emerson pc settings, it says, not available. (when im trying to adjust the image on my screen being about 1" off in every direction.  1024x768 (4:3) in pc settings on the tv, i get the issue where i can only adjust to left, or right. and those are the only options. i cant adjust size of image like i can on
[01:36] <AcidRain2012> my vizio tv. how can i fix this?
[01:37] <AcidRain2012> any advice on the issue would be great
[01:37] <jerry_l> hello room. which should i use in ubuntu: VBOX, vmwarz.... looking for a good virtual machine.
[01:37] <deives> hi[
[01:37] <Rallias> jerry_l, depends... graphical or non-graphical
[01:38] <kandinski> nulldev, I can't see my server at all from this laptop
[01:38] <kandinski> ftp, ssh, http, nothing
[01:38] <kandinski> I can see it from my mate's laptop
[01:38] <skumara> help i tried to install fglrx using the guide in this website http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers. I get this error http://pastebin.com/xPLvDi7e      How do i know fglrx hs installed correctly? I afraid if i restart the computer the laptop wont start!
[01:38] <kandinski> or from other servers
[01:38] <jerry_l> one for each would work for me.
[01:38] <kandinski> it's the laptopt that's somehow blocking access
[01:38] <kandinski> (driving me nuts)
[01:38] <Rallias> jerry_l QEMU would be your best option then.
[01:38] <jerry_l> thanks.. looking up.
[01:38] <AcidRain2012> can anyone help me to adjust my pc screen on an emerson tv?
[01:39] <AcidRain2012> is there any type of software to help me do this?
[01:39] <kandinski> nulldev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097636/
[01:40] <jerry_l> :)
[01:40] <nulldev> kandinski what service and server and location of server you trying to connect to?
[01:41] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[01:41] <nulldev> traceroute to me is worthless unless it falls at your router ;)
[01:41] <kandinski> nulldev, the problem is not with the server, but with my laptop
[01:41] <kandinski> if you do these traceroutes, you'll get a good result for both of them
[01:41] <kandinski> and people in this office are also getting through, so it's not the local wifi router
[01:41] <kandinski> nulldev: see above post, it's hiperactivo.com through ssh and http
[01:41] <AcidRain2012> also, i cannot install the ati proprietary drivers
[01:41] <Matriks404> omg
[01:41] <kandinski> nulldev: it's failing at my laptop
[01:41] <kandinski> that's what I am telling you
[01:41] <kandinski> person next to me can get through
[01:41] <kandinski> but I can't, only for this server
[01:41] <nulldev> kandinski you got nmap installed?
[01:41] <kandinski> it's really weird
[01:41] <jerry_l>  AcidRain2012:  have you got your tv set up yet. if not, we need information
[01:42] <kandinski> nulldev: installing...
[01:42] <kandinski> installed
[01:44] <nulldev> kandinski scan the ip of the server use the default for 1st scan after this point type all as is in terminal replacing ip with the ip address $ nmap ip && nmap sU ip
[01:44] <kandinski> nulldev, thanks
[01:45] <antisec> hey
[01:45] <nulldev> kandinski thanks?
[01:46] <antisec> i want to know something about backbox
[01:46] <kandinski> thanks for the instructions
[01:46] <kandinski> nmap says the site seems down
[01:46] <kandinski> but I know it is't, I am irc-ing from it!
[01:46] <nulldev> np I look forward to a fix though
[01:46] <antisec> who can answer my question
[01:46] <TenMinChallenge> i will
[01:47] <antisec> are you good at it
[01:47] <TenMinChallenge> dued how dare you
[01:47] <antisec> i like bt5 too
[01:47] <kandinski> nmap needs a working network connection, and there isn't one
[01:47] <nulldev> kandinski 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 that
[01:47] <ActionPa1snip> antisec: backbox is offtopic here
[01:47] <kandinski> ah, getting there
[01:48] <antisec> ok
[01:48] <kandinski> nulldev, but the ports are open
[01:48] <kandinski> as I say, person sitting next to me can see the site
[01:48] <kandinski> through the same wifi router as I am using
[01:48] <kandinski> it has to be the laptop
[01:48] <nulldev> kandinski server or router inbound or outbound
[01:48] <ActionPa1snip> antisec: try  irc.autistici.org:6667 in channel #backbox
[01:49] <AcidRain2012> jerry_l: what type of information do you need?
[01:49] <ActionPa1snip> antisec: source: http://www.backbox.org/contact
[01:49] <AcidRain2012> i thought the amount of information i included was plenty
[01:49] <jerry_l> Rallias: jerry_l QEMU thanks for the link. my chick is watching the new avatar cartoon so bandwidth is an issue.
[01:49] <antisec> i want to be a hacker like anonymous
[01:50] <jerry_l> thanks i booked marked the pages.
[01:50] <Rallias> WutO_o
[01:50] <kandinski> nulldev, outbound wifi router, we are in an office
[01:50] <jerry_l> acaid...
[01:50] <ActionPa1snip> antisec: I'd study networks first
[01:50] <AcidRain2012> jerry_l: i tried to install proprietary drivers for ATI cards but failed, i was later turned away when google searches said this was a bad idea because it makes some peoples computers unusable
[01:50] <syddraf> I just did a fresh install of ubuntu, configured my displays ( all 1080p oriented like this Tetris piece: http://tinyurl.com/8xs7xmw ). 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 im
[01:50] <syddraf> possible to drop items onto the bottom two monitors. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
[01:50] <AcidRain2012> jerry_l: do you have any ideas?
[01:50] <jerry_l> what issue are use haveing? can not adsjust resoultion?
[01:50] <antisec> get into FBI or NASA
[01:50] <nulldev> qemu sucks after uninstalling vbox still wont start a vm until you stop qemu-kvm which isnt is chkconfig
[01:50] <kandinski> nulldev: I can't see hiperactivo.com from my laptop, my mate on the next desk can. hiperactivo.com is open because it's open and serving all it needs to serve.
[01:50] <antisec> to see  information about UFO
[01:51] <nulldev> kandinski I reckon its your dns have you tried opendns?
[01:51] <kandinski> nulldev: now nmap says filtered ports or closed auth...
[01:51] <kandinski> nulldev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097646/
[01:51] <jerry_l> i just use the non-pro.. for drivers.
[01:52] <kandinski> it's not the dns, dns works, and system fails for ip scan too
[01:52] <antisec> where are you from
[01:52] <nulldev> kandinski because it got no response rules out dns though
[01:52] <jerry_l> and if i really had to have the drivers and they wouldnt work then i would wrap them .
[01:53] <jerry_l> wrap - linux word of the day.
[01:53] <AcidRain2012> jerry_l: honestly i dont know what stops  pc settings from being available. i think my computer sends such a high resolutions that the tv cant detect its a pc. but when i lowe rthe resolution sent, it is available, but the options i have only move left and right. not size. and size is so important to making it fit on the whole screen
[01:53] <antisec> ActionPa1snip:where are you from
[01:53] <kandinski> I mean I can't see the server at 70.85.129.79, which is the machine pointed at by hiperactivo.com
[01:53] <brandon_> um i have no sound
[01:53] <ActionPa1snip> antisec: uk
[01:54] <AcidRain2012> jerry_l: hey man, i appreciate how you are trying to help, could you include my name before your text aimed towards me, make it easier for me to see :)
[01:54] <jerry_l> sounds like ou have a true 16x9 screen...

[02:14] <brandon_> tenmin NO WINDOWS IS STUPID\
[02:14] <cprofitt> TenMinChallenge: not really the correct answer
[02:14] <IdleOne> brandon_: Also please stop with the all caps. it is annoying and rude.
[02:14] <Rallias> brandon_, on the forums, in the multimedia section, there's a sticky. Go find it and read it. I believe it may fix your issue.
[02:14] <cprofitt> brandon_: I just came on... I am willing to try and assist you if I know the answer... can you tell me what the question is?

[02:19] <msdaisy> Hello.  How do you turn logging off in Ubuntu (sys, kern, etc)
[02:19] <msdaisy> ?
[02:20] <rodneymillerpca> I been out of the loop last to upgrades till now. anyone got time for 2 simple questions besides this one.
[02:20] <msdaisy> !ask | rodneymillerpca
[02:21] <rodneymillerpca> One is there a way to switch back to the simple menu instad of the bar on the left side. It's driving me nuts.
[02:21] <ActionPa1snip> brandonj: sweet
[02:21] <msdaisy> You mean you want gnome desktop instead of unity rodneymillerpca ?
[02:21] <IdleOne> !notunity | rodneymillerpca
[02:21] <urbanp00r> Terminal doesn't display in color even though i un-commented force_color_prompt=yes in .bashrc. It display fine though if I issue . ~/.bashrc
[02:21] <ActionPa1snip> brandonj: if you are civil and patient, you will be helped if possible
[02:23] <rodneymillerpca> Ah ok gnome I hug. lol
[02:23] <rodneymillerpca> I'm a realy old geek and have little use to learn new .lol
[02:24] <ActionPa1snip> urbanp00r: did you run:  source ~/.bashrc   after the change?
[02:24] <ActionPa1snip> rodneymillerpca: just install gnome-panel and log off and select the new session
[02:24] <urbanp00r> ActionPa1snip: yes, but everytime i use terminal do i run that command?
[02:25] <urbanp00r> Is . ~/.bashrc not similar to source ~/.bashrc?
[02:25] <Rallias> ActionPa1snip, I'm not on a ubu system, but I thought ubuntu-classic was the choice installed by default if you want that...
[02:25] <ActionPa1snip> urbanp00r: it runs each time a fresh terminal is loaded, standing terminals will need to run the source command to re-read the config
[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] <ActionPa1snip> Rallias: anything post Natty will use Unity as the default shell, you can install gnome-panel and use that if you wish
[02:25] <xangua> !manual | antony__
[02:26] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: its what Ubuntu is aimed at. New users to linux
[02:26] <Rallias> ActionPa1snip, Yeah, but I thought you didn't need to install anything additional.
[02:26] <ActionPa1snip> Rallias: yeah its extra, the defaults are Unity and Unity2D only but you can install what you wish
[02:27] <urbanp00r> ActionPa1snip: i ran source ~/.bashrc and it displays color in the current terminal. running another terminal will not show the color again. weird.
[02:27] <antony__> can u still use the gnome-panel on 12.04?
[02:27] <ActionPa1snip> !info gnome-panel
[02:27] <naryfa> cprofitt: excellent, thank you
[02:28] <rodneymillerpca> Thank all four of you.
[02:28] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: if you like the Gnome2 smell you can install Xubuntu and getr the 2 panel desktop you are familiar with
[02:28] <rodneymillerpca> All have a great evening
[02:28] <antony__> or i could just install mate  into ubuntu :)
[02:28] <urbanp00r> rodneymillerpca: you too!
[02:29] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: sure, but its not supoprted here
[02:29] <NictraSavios> Hello, how can I map extra mouse keys with CCSM in 12.04? I have a mouse with 13 extra buttons, plus the usual 9.
[02:29] <NictraSavios> without ccsm** sorry.
[02:30] <ActionPa1snip> !shortcuts
[02:30] <NictraSavios> Mouse. Not keyboard.
[02:31] <ActionPa1snip> NictraSavios: its just another input device in Xorg, the system doesn't care
[02:31] <NictraSavios> Well, when I try to use system -- > Preferances  --> Keyboard  --> Shortcuts, It dosen't work.
[02:32] <NictraSavios> It wants a keyboard stroke so it won't take a mouse click as a "key"
[02:32] <Rallias> I'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] <urbanp00r> ActionPa1snip: what if source ~/.bashrc don't work?
[02:33] <naryfa> NictraSavios: I'm trying to do the same, I want to use mouse button for workspace scrolling, and can't figure out how to do it
[02:34] <NictraSavios> Under 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] <ActionPa1snip> urbanp00r: then you'll need to review the setting
[02:35] <urbanp00r> ActionPa1snip: can i get any clue?
[02:35] <NictraSavios> Because no good GUI configuration tools for evdev exist...
[02:35] <naryfa> NictraSavios: what is evdev? Is that a kernel module?
[02:35] <Adnan> Hello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea??
[02:35] <NictraSavios> Its an xorg mouse driver and kernel module
[02:36] <ActionPa1snip> urbanp00r: what are you trying to achieve?
[02:37] <NictraSavios> But *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.
[02:39] <Adnan> Hello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea??
[02:39] <urbanp00r> ActionPa1snip: thanks!
[02:39] <NictraSavios> Seriously... If I wanted to continue using a command line and configuration file system I would have kept using archlinux like I did for 2 years.
[02:39] <urbanp00r> I'll look into this further
[02:41] <minimec> Adnan: Could you explain, when exactly the ubuntu boot procedure is 'hanging'?
[02:42] <d0lphin_333> Hello :)
[02:43] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: anything we can help you?
[02:43] <Adnan> My electricity goes down.that's why it's shut down unexpectedly.now, after that, it's not starting,  but I can access terminal by recovery mode
[02:44] <zytter> hi something know how configure IPTABLES
[02:44] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon 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 monitor
[02:45] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: did you do upgrade while installing
[02:45] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: the problem might be caused by hdmi port not being recognized
[02:45] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon no, just clean install
[02:45] <Adnan> @minimec any idea??
[02:46] <naryfa> NictraSavios: I understand you but that doesn't help hehe
[02:46] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon it give image but only when o clik in some keyboard but then i try to install and nathing neither live cd nathing
[02:46] <antony__> d0lphin_333: have you tried using a different connection e.g vga or dvi?
[02:46] <minimec> Adnan: I see. I guess you have 'autologin' activated and the system cannot load you sessoin correctly. Would that be correct?
[02:46] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: have you tried using another port other than hdmi port? like antony__ mentioned?
[02:47] <Adnan> Yes,auto-login activated @minimec
[02:48] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon 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_333
[02:49] <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] <minimec> Adnan: There is a session file, you would have to remove/rename. I am to old/tired to remember the name...
[02:50] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: that means the driver wasn't installed properly
[02:51] <d0lphin_333> antony__ 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] <Guest79436> what the new   ?
[02:51] <bob__> hey
[02:52] <antony__> d0lphin_333: i cant say myself, as i dont use a hdmi connection.
[02:53] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: we don't know much about the installing hdmi issue.. let me do some research first
[02:53] <flan_suse> Is 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).
[02:54] <flan_suse> For 12.04, many themes and lenses aren't even available for 12.04, but only 11.10 and previous.
[02:54] <d0lphin_333> antony__ , 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_suse> And what constitutes a "Unity" theme. A basic GTK3 theme? A Gnome Shell theme?
[02:54] <minimec> Adnan: 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.
[02:55] <minimec> Adnan: It's 'mv', not 'cp'. I have to go to sleep... ;)
[02:55] <ActionPa1snip> flan_suse: I believe it just uses the GTK3 theme you use
[02:55] <flan_suse> ActionPa1snip: Figured so.
[02:56] <ActionPa1snip> flan_suse: if you change your wallpaper, the dash shell and unity launcher change colour to match
[02:56] <flan_suse> ActionPa1snip: 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] <greasegum> anyone know how to use unetbootin to install to a specific partition?
[02:56] <flan_suse> ActionPa1snip: I set mine to 100% transparent, so the same thing happens where the wallpaper basically "bleeds" through.
[02:56] <quixotedon> d0lphin_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 problem
[02:57] <ActionPa1snip> flan_suse: here are some http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/5-nice-gnome-34-themes-ubuntu-ppa.html
[02:57] <bob__> Hello all
[02:57] <quixotedon> d0lphin_333: yeah, try using another port first, then go to updating the driver :)
[02:57] <quixotedon> bob__: yes, anything to say?
[02:57] <bob__> Indeed one question
[02:58] <antony__> quixotedon: thats what i suggested, as i think it needs the driver to be installed first.
[02:58] <bob__> I have installed ubuntu and cannot get it to reconize my graphics card. It's a dell D630
[02:58] <flan_suse> ActionPa1snip: Not bad, thank you. :)
[02:58] <negatory> Has anybody noticed repeated (several times a minute) DNS requests to daisy.ubuntu.com?
[02:58] <quixotedon> antony__: yeah, let's hope that solves d0lphin_333's problem
[02:58] <negatory> what on earth is daisy.ubuntu.com?
[02:58] <flan_suse> ActionPa1snip: Never knew webupd8 had its own PPA.
[02:58] <quixotedon> bob__: what graphic hardware?
[02:58] <antony__> quixotedon: i hope so
[02:59] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon it looks the bether thing to try but if this work so ubuntu live cd or install dont work whith hdmi monitor
[02:59] <bob__> Intel 945 Chipset
[02:59] <d0lphin_333> quixotedon thanks for your time :)
[03:00] <ActionPa1snip> flan_suse: yeah its great, it's where I get oracle java from too
[03:00] <antony__> quixotedon: when you've helped bob_  i need to ask a question myself :)
[03:00] <bob__> I tried the update program, with no luck.
[03:01] <antony__> bob__: Is there no driver available to download?
[03:01] <itsez> hello
[03:01] <max1> hello
[03:01] <bob__> No, i looked at the hardware as well.
[03:01] <kiwii> anyone here running ubuntu on a netbook with an intel atom processor? i've tried various versions and nothing isn't unbearably slow
[03:02] <quixotedon> bob__: have you tried installing the driver through Super button (Windows button on keyboard) then type "Additional Drivers", that will direct you to hardware that needs driver to be installed
[03:02] <max1> i have a weird problem......for some reason my CTRL key just stopped working
[03:02] <max1> i'm in vbox
[03:02] <bob__> No proprietary driver are in use on this system
[03:02] <max1> but can see the key being pressed in xev
[03:03] <ActionPa1snip> max1: if you run:   xev    and press the key, does it generate events?
[03:03] <ActionPa1snip> haha
[03:03] <max1> AcidRain2012, yes :)
[03:03] <max1> so i look in my xmodmap file
[03:03] <negatory> nobody on 12.04 is repeatedly sending these DNS requests to daisy.ubuntu.com?
[03:03] <bdav3216> hi ther
[03:03] <max1> and all my modifier keys have different keycodes than what is said in xev
[03:03] <kiwii> Is anyone running linux on a netbook?
[03:03] <max1> but they all still work........
[03:03] <ActionPa1snip> negatory: you could add an entry in /etc/hosts to make daisy.ubuntu.com resolve to 127.0.0.1
[03:04] <itsez> hey
[03:04] <antony__> kiwii: i used to,  till i bought a laptop
[03:04] <itsez> sorry
[03:04] <quixotedon> bob__: what's the graphic hardware?
[03:04] <kiwii> antony__ how long ago?
[03:04] <kiwii> what flavor?
[03:04] <negatory> ActionPa1snip: I was actually wondering if anyone knew the cause? Or what daisy.ubuntu.com even is?
[03:04] <antony__> kiwii: about 12 months ago
[03:04] <naryfa> how can I add a custom default application to the Default Applications in Ubuntu?
[03:05] <kiwii> antony__: was it usable?
[03:05] <bob__> Intel 945
[03:05] <antony__> kiwii: I found it to be running ok,  are you using the netbook edition?
[03:05] <kiwii> antony__: no, haven't tried that yet. so you were on 11.04?
[03:06] <bob__> I have googled and looked around on some forums
[03:06] <ActionPa1snip> negatory: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie-daisy/+bug/913694  references it (see the last posts)
[03:06] <antony__> kiwii: yes i was but i was using the netbook edition as it is made for netbooks,  It's better proformance.
[03:07] <kiwii> antony__: cool I will try that, thanks. i was just trying to resist unity at all costs
[03:07] <antony__> kiwii: You need to use the netbook edition as, netbooks aren't very powerful.
[03:07] <kiwii> antony__: you didn't happen to happen to have a poulsbo graphics card in your netbook, did you?
[03:07] <ActionPa1snip> kiwii: or use Lubuntu if you want a more traditional desktop :)
[03:08] <antony__> kiwii: No, it was intergrated intel card.
[03:08] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: most netbooks are more powerful than anything I own
[03:08] <kiwii> ActionPa1snip: it's for my g/f, and she needs something that's a little more easy to configure
[03:09] <kiwii> i was thinking about XFCE
[03:09] <kiwii> even though I like LXDE way better myself
[03:09] <antony__> Kiwii: If you dont like  unity,  use 11.04 or 11.10  and install the gnome classic panel :)
[03:09] <quixotedon> bob__: have you tried "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" (without quotes)
[03:09] <snyp_> i am trying to install erlang in ubuntu, when i do "make install" it says "usr/bin/install:cannot change permissions of 'usr/local/lib/erlang':No such file or directory. Can anyone help?
[03:09] <quixotedon> bob__: the link is right here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129227/how-do-i-install-intel-hd-graphics-driver-on-ubuntu-12-04
[03:10] <bob__> not yet,
[03:10] <bob__> ok i will look
[03:10] <bob__> brb
[03:10] <snyp_> Isn't the folder supposed to be created automatically during installation?
[03:11] <ActionPa1snip> kiwii: yeah XFCE is easy enough
[03:11] <snyp_> i followed these instructions. http://codeswamp.com/2011/05/25/installing-erlang-r14b03-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[03:11] <antony__> This may sound like a ridiculous question, but is there anyway to disable the password, like when your installing programs etc?
[03:11] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: its not supported or advised
[03:12] <antony__> ActionPa1snip: Oh ok no problem.
[03:12] <HelloWorld321> what package do you recommend for BD writing?  Is Brassero okay?
[03:12] <ActionPa1snip> antony__: you can run:  sudo -i   and get a root prompt and you won't need a password til you run: exit
[03:12] <snyp_> Please help me someone.. =/
[03:13] <kiwii> ActionPa1snip: would you recommend Xubuntu or ubuntu netbook version with XFCE installed?
[03:13] <bazhang> snyp_, just install from the repos
[03:13] <kiwii> or does it matter
[03:13] <ActionPa1snip> !erlang
[03:13] <AcidRain2012> ok im back with my issue
[03:13] <bob__> Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.
[03:13] <bob__>      Getting that error
[03:13] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install erlang  snyp_
[03:14] <snyp_> ok..
[03:15] <max1> ok, xev says left control is keycode 37......so "xmodmap -e 'keycode 37 = Control_L';xmodmap -e 'add control = Control_L"
[03:15] <AcidRain2012> to break it down: on every resolution but 1, the pc settings to adjust screen left/right is disabled. even at that, the only display resoution output that it does work on is the one im currently using, and its about 6" short on each side of screen. and i need a pc settings option to adjust size, not left/right. that does nothing but move the screen around on the tv. i am using dvi to hdmi cord. this works fine on my vizo tv cause i can adjust size,
[03:15] <AcidRain2012> can anyone help me?
[03:15] <max1> but breaks
[03:15] <bob__> Got the java problem, fixing right now :::
[03:17] <antony__> ok im back my laptop locked up
[03:17] <snyp_> ok one more question does apt-get remove <package> delete the .deb files too, or just the installed software?
[03:17] <marun> I have created a CNAME for my  mail server. When i dig it by fqdn, bind is answering the query properly. But when i give just the name, it is not resolved. Where did it  go wrong?
[03:19] <AcidRain2012> people on google are saying that the nvidia drivers support overscan and work with my issue
[03:19] <bob__> No luck, Still getting same error
[03:19] <snyp_> it seems the deb packages are kept.. anyways sudo apt-get install erlang worked.. =) thanks bazhang
[03:19] <AcidRain2012> my new quesition is, can i use nvidia drivers on an ati card?
[03:20] <bazhang> AcidRain2012, of course not
[03:20] <marun> any ideas?
[03:20] <AcidRain2012> damn.
[03:20] <IanMoone> Every application except for Movie Player and sometimes skype causes really "static-y" noise
[03:20] <AcidRain2012> back to square 1
[03:21] <AcidRain2012> so is there anyway at all that i can fix this? it seems like not, and i should just switch to vizion tv with less quality?
[03:24] <AcidRain2012> when trying to install ATI/AMD proprietary driver from Hardware Drivers in System -> Admin, i get this error:SystemError: installArchives() failed
[03:27] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: is the OS fully updated?
[03:28] <IanMoone> exit
[03:28] <IanMoone> exit
[03:28] <IanMoone> woops
[03:28] <AcidRain2012> ActionPa1snip: my lucid box is as updated as it can be
[03:29] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: Is the lucid system the one having issues?
[03:29] <digital_power> всем привет
[03:29] <bazhang> !ru | digital_power
[03:31] <AcidRain2012> ActionPa1snip: yes, but only on this emerson tv, because i dont have the option to adjust the screen size based off the resolution output. i can ONLY adjust vert,horiz screen start point
[03:31] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: have you tried Precise (12.04) the newer kernel and driver may help
[03:32] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: plus Lucid desktop is EOL in April, giving about 9 months of support...
[03:32] <AcidRain2012> ActionPa1snip: .... i will never leave this box. from now on
[03:32] <AcidRain2012> i have about 10 servers set up on here.
[03:32] <AcidRain2012> all of which were very difficult to setup
[03:32] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: could try a liveCD, just to test
[03:33] <ActionPa1snip> AcidRain2012: Lucid will continue to work but it won't be supported anywhere and you will get no updates

[03:34] <fn-troll> What's the name of the CLI program that generates a 10x10 ascii art based on an SSH key or somesuch thing?
[03:34] <AcidRain2012> ActionPa1snip: but i dont need updates, ill just keep changing the target to the repos. then ill stay supported. lol
[03:34] <AcidRain2012> eventually ill turn offf automatic updates,
[03:35] <AcidRain2012> i havent upgraded this computer in like... since 10.04 came out

[03:37] <bob__> That link fixed the problem!! Thank you all for your help!!
[03:42] <megacore> What's the ssh command to use if I want to tunnel my internet traffic through another machine?
[03:42] <fn-troll> Also, is there a convenient way to install additional WMs in Ubuntu and switch between them? For example, even though I'm using Gnome/Unity, is it possible for me to install xfce and switch to that on the GDM login screen?
[03:42] <fn-troll> megacore: there are several
[03:43] <bnm> fn-troll: man banner
[03:43] <ActionPa1snip> !ics | megacore
[03:43] <fn-troll> megacore: One opens up a socks port, one forwards data from one port to another ip/port. Which one are you looking for?
[03:43] <zykotick9> fn-troll: from "man ssh-keygen", "If combined with -v, an ASCII art representation of the key is supplied with the fingerprint."
[03:43] <fn-troll> zykotick9: ahhhh okay
[03:44] <megacore> I'd like to send firefox traffic over a socks port
[03:45] <zykotick9> fn-troll: in recent ubuntu's lightdm is the desktop manager - and yes
[03:46] <fn-troll> megacore: Then I think you're looking for ssh -D bigportnumber user@host
[03:46] <fn-troll> megacore: if you want other people on the network to be able to use the tunnel you've opened, then ssh -D 0.0.0.0:bignumber user@host
[03:46] <megacore> fn-troll: and then in firefox do I set my proxy as user@host or user@localhost?
[03:46] <fn-troll> where big number is something between 1025-40000 or so. Just pick a random 5 digit number starting with 3, easiest way
[03:47] <fn-troll> in firefox you'd set your socks proxy to be 127.0.0.1 and whatever port number you picked
[03:47] <megacore> fn-troll: and that's all there is to it? just ssh -d 3xxx user@host and then set socks proxy to localhost?
[03:48] <fn-troll> * ssh -D
[03:48] <megacore> -D. got it.
[03:48] <fn-troll> and yes I believe that's all there is to it, set socks proxy to localhost, and port to whatever you picked
[03:48] <pidginROCKS> is their a way to get rid of unity and go back to gnome?

[03:51] <ikesmasher> Whos up to helping complete a near impossible to fix problem ive made with my PC?
[03:51] <zykotick9> alex_: that's an OT question, but ubuntu was origionally a "user friendly" debian derivative.  now it's something else...
[03:52] <Jagst3r15> trying to remember how i did this before. I am getting this popping sound from my speakers and last time i fixed it by editing this line of code in a file. I had to like set something to false
[03:53] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: supplying "lscpi | grep -i audio" might help the channel.  i have no idea (but haven't searched with relevant data ;)
[03:53] <ikesmasher> So, i was trying to convert a MBR disc to GPT so i could dual boot windows 8 with a UEFI bios. I was an idiot and tried using gdisk (onwindows 7) to convert the windows boot disc itself. anyway its a mess and when i boot up it says "no operating system detected." im currently typing from an ubuntu live CD, and ubuntu reads the hard drive perfectly and gparted detects it as a GPT disc. all i need is to be able to get back into my 
[03:54] <ikesmasher> all my files still be there
[03:54] <ikesmasher> so anyone can help me? please?
[03:54] <fn-troll> I would argue that as long as it uses the deb packaging system it's still basically a debian derivative. It's all grown up and is now quite distinguished from its "parent", but debian is still its "father". And yeah, it was originally made as "Linux for noobs", but has since stabalized into something everyone can use, including extremely seasoned linux users, such as myself
[03:54] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: Uhhhhhhhm
[03:54] <Jagst3r15> zykotick9 its like to turn off sound hardware

[03:55] <ikesmasher> uhm
[03:55] <ikesmasher> one sec
[03:56] <Jagst3r15> its power_save or something
[03:56] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: i have no idea what you need man - that could be anything.  (ps i'm not good with sound issues)
[03:56] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: acpi?  that's kinda a bad thing to disable...

[03:58] <ikesmasher> anyone...?
[03:58] <Jonii> I have Ubuntu 12.04, and I'd like to have a separate launcher and separate place where I can access programs that I have opened
[03:58] <Tm_T> !language | killown
[03:59] <Jonii> I feel the mix of two in Ubuntu 12.04 is not good. What would you people suggest?
[03:59] <Zeropain> hi
[03:59] <karen_Deckers> If you want ubuntu to be old school, just go get the GMNOME Environment package ;)
[03:59] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: Eeek. I'd try mounting each of those partitions and seeing if something magical can be detected
[03:59] <Zeropain> what is the goal of ubuntu
[03:59] <maanu2k> I have an Nvidia video card with Optimus and have been unable to use hardware acceleration
[03:59] <Bandit_> ubuntu-br
[03:59] <Jagst3r15> zykotick9 i got it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1788483
[03:59] <fn-troll> you might have a good shot with sda3
[03:59] <maanu2k> installing Bumblebee
[04:00] <ikesmasher> fn-troll: what does something magical mean :/
[04:00] <karen_Deckers> ubuntu is... Linux.
[04:00] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: It means "I have a hunch you're screwed but if you're lucky this will work"
[04:00] <Zeropain> ok tanks karen
[04:00] <maanu2k> and still culd not leverage the videocard
[04:00] <maanu2k> any ideas folks?
[04:00] <ikesmasher> fn-troll: oh ok
[04:00] <ikesmasher> haha
[04:00] <Zeropain> where country are u from
[04:01] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: nice :)
[04:02] <ikesmasher> hey fn-troll: disk utility has said, that the daemon is being inhibited when i tried mounted SDA3....i got no idea what that means
[04:02] <karen_Deckers> I cant help so good.. my desktop is all set in french xD
[04:06] <ikesmasher> does anyone know what "the daemon is being inhibited" means when mounting or altering a partition from a ubuntu live CD
[04:07] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: check "mount" in cli to see if /dev/sda3 is already listed; if not, as root run mkdir /mnt/sda3   and then mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
[04:07] <fn-troll> Assuming your files are still there and partitions aren't messed up etc, your data should then be available in /mnt/sda3
[04:08] <rypervenche> karen_Deckers: ouais grosse !
[04:08] <dosputas> hello, i need help finding my wifi password stored in linux mint ... any advice?
[04:09] <MonkeyDust> dosputas  type !mint
[04:10] <jagginess> dosputas, google: "how to find my password in linux mint"
[04:10] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[04:12] <zykotick9> fn-troll: fyi /mnt is techically for use as a "temporary" mount point itself.  a subdir on /srv according to file-system heirarchy would be more appropriate for more permanent mounts.
[04:12] <ikesmasher> k
[04:12] <fn-troll> zykotick9: I'd say that, considering he's running from a livecd, this is a temporary mount.
[04:12] <zykotick9> fn-troll: so use /mnt
[04:14] <phong_> hi guys
[04:14] <zykotick9> fn-troll: all i'm saying - is there is no need for the mkdir step, just mount to /mnt
[04:15] <phong_> how to change sftp port to my own port number instead of port 22?
[04:15] <ikesmasher> i 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 happen
[04:15] <phong_> currently my sftp use port 22
[04:15] <phong_> is there a way to manully assign different port for sftp instead of port 22?
[04:15] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: nothing should happen visibly after typing "sudo mkdir /mnt/sda3" (not sudo /mkdir - that will either silently fail or give you an error)
[04:16] <ikesmasher> it was silent fn-troll...what do i do then
[04:16] <fn-troll> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
[04:16] <jamescarr> I'm confused... I set the group ownership for /var/www to www-data. I have a user in the www-data group
[04:16] <jamescarr> yet that user cannot create files in that directory?
[04:17] <chobbs> phong_: 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] <ActionPa1snip> jamescarr: what access does thr www-data group have nn the folder?
[04:17] <jamescarr> 775?
[04:17] <phong_> chobbs, thanks  will do that
[04:17] <ikesmasher> fn-troll: typed that and it was silent as well. is that good or bad?
[04:17] <dosputas> there are only stupid people conected in the mint chat
[04:18] <jamescarr> dosputas, dont talk down on people
[04:18] <dosputas> i dont they are only not helping me atall
[04:19] <ActionPa1snip> jamescarr: so full access
[04:19] <chobbs> phong_: You'll need to restart sshd after you've made the change: sudo service ssh restart
[04:20] <ActionPa1snip> dosputas: mint still isnt supported here
[04:20] <dosputas> ok im just asking for advice
[04:21] <ActionPa1snip> yes advice on mint, which isn't supported here
[04:21] <jagginess> "<dosputas> hello, i need help finding my wifi password stored in linux mint ... any advice?" << definitely is asking for problems.
[04:21]  * jagginess thinks dosputas is 100% trolling at this point
[04:22] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: Not sure. run "ls /mnt/sda3", does it list anything?
[04:22] <phong_> chobbs, what is standard port 443 use for?
[04:22] <ikesmasher> fn-troll- i typed something and found an answer online and its mounted now, what should i do
[04:22] <jagginess> phong_, https.
[04:22] <phong_> oh okay thanks
[04:22] <chobbs> phong_: ssl web connections (https)
[04:23] <fn-troll> ikesmasher: Get a USB harddrive or something and copy all your essential files from that partition before playing with your partitions any further? :)
[04:23] <ikesmasher> fn-troll, theres nothing essential, so im good
[04:23] <phong_> chobbs, does it make sense?
[04:24] <fn-troll> Oh, I thought we were trying to recover files here >_>
[04:24] <ikesmasher> oh im trying to recover, it would just take weeks to redownload what ill lose if i format
[04:24] <ikesmasher> weeeks
[04:25] <chobbs> phong_, yes, but please keep it in channel.
[04:25] <ActionPa1snip> ikesmasher: thats why you should have a regular backup scheduled
[04:25] <phong_> chobbs, not sure if it is allowed :)
[04:26] <ikesmasher> yea i dont quite have the resources to do that quite yet, this is just a laptop and i dont get to get a desktop+external hard drives for another month
[04:27] <ikesmasher> ive probably got about 300GB of games ill lose and have to redownload
[04:27]  * chobbs picked up a 2TB USB drive at Fry's last week for $109. Cheap insurance :)
[04:28] <ActionPa1snip> chobbs: exactly....
[04:28] <ikesmasher> Cheap isnt a universal word.
[04:28] <ikesmasher> :/
[04:28] <ikesmasher> cheap is subjective
[04:28] <Pihro> got mine for$99
[04:28] <ActionPa1snip> ikesmasher: well, think about how much those weeks of downloading will cost you
[04:29] <ikesmasher> probably a couple of keyboards with heads bashed into them xD
[04:29] <chobbs> ikesmasher: fair enough. re-downloading isn't too bad, but losing pics from your camera, OTOH, much more painful.
[04:29] <ActionPa1snip> people love learning the value of backups the hardest way possible
[04:29] <ikesmasher> yea we had an SD card get snapped in a car accident...pictures from the last 5 years, gone
[04:30] <ikesmasher> that was baddddd
[04:30] <ikesmasher> but yea, as soon as i get a desktop, im getting some sort of fallback plan
[04:31] <ActionPa1snip> you can get a free 5Gb account at ubuntuone, you can put a bit of stuff there
[04:31] <ikesmasher> i do have a MS recovery partition, but its safe to assume i cant use that unless i can fix the actual partition table, right?
[04:31] <ActionPa1snip> and 2Gb at dropbox
[04:31] <jagginess> ikesmasher, snapping an sdcard makes a car accident? geez
[04:31] <ikesmasher> lol
[04:31] <jagginess> ikesmasher, not like you had ducttaped the sdcard at the bumper of the car or anything
[04:32] <ikesmasher> well the car did a double barrel roll and the cameragot smashed into the windshield, the SD card came out, and was punctured by some glass.
[04:32] <phong_> chobbs, if i'm in sftp>   how to change the local directory?
[04:32] <ikesmasher> its like a 1 in a million chance
[04:32] <phong_> chobbs, once i logged into server sftp....within the command, how to change local directories around locally?
[04:33] <jagginess> ikesmasher, thats ridiculous you know everydetail of it flying through the windshield but.. you should keep your eyes on the road!
[04:33]  * chobbs wonders if it's considered rude in #ubuntut to siggest 'man command' :)
[04:33] <chobbs> s/suggest/siggest/
[04:33] <jagginess> chobbs, man is manual.. if the user is asking a very advanced geeky question about hexadecimals, i would refer him to some manual about it.. (hacker-level question)
[04:34] <chobbs> phong_: lcd changes local directory. Check 'man sftp' for other examples.
[04:34] <phong_> ok thanks chobbs
[04:34]  * Debolaz finds that some manual pages are highly defective even for people with a clue.
[04:34] <ikesmasher> theres not really a whole lot to watch when your rolling in a car, and i just saw the camera hit the winshield
[04:34] <jagginess> ikesmasher, ever hear of sdcards that can do wifi?
[04:34] <ikesmasher> yes
[04:34] <chobbs> phong_: Or get really lazt, and download filezilla. Nice scp client :)
[04:35] <chobbs> s/lazt/lazy/
[04:35] <gratciAZ> http://highscalability.com/
[04:35] <ActionPa1snip> ried reading the mencoder manual...:)
[04:36]  * chobbs really likes Filezilla when browsing scp sites. If I know exactly what I'm after, scp on the command line works great.
[04:36] <jagginess> ikesmasher, i believe its pretty affordable.. think i'm going to buy one http://www.eye.fi/products/connectx2 .. btw speaking of cameras.. this dumb camera i bought left on the dust shelf never worked again :(..
[04:36] <ActionPa1snip> chobbs: nautilus can access SFTP quite happily
[04:36] <BTDT_Desk>  Good evening everyone
[04:36] <jagginess> ikesmasher, i'm gonna need a new camera here too lol
[04:36] <gratciAZ> evening
[04:36] <ikesmasher> aha yea its not fun
[04:37] <BTDT_Desk> Would anyone here happen to have experience and/or be running SLI?
[04:37] <BTDT_Desk> Trying to figure out if it's working appropriately or not
[04:37] <chobbs> ActionPa1snip:  Cool. Do you just use a sftp:// construct to use it?
[04:38] <ActionPa1snip> chobbs: under the file menu select 'connect to server' once initially connected then click bookmark -> add to bookmarks for easy access from the left panel of nautilus
[04:39] <jagginess> ikesmasher, looks like something is avail https://launchpad.net/eyefi in case you're wondering -- i think i'm gonna buy a eye-fi sometime.. i dont want to be in your case! heheh
[04:39] <chobbs> ActionPa1snip:  Great, thanks. Most of my work is on ubuntu servers, so I don't play in the GUI much. Filezilla on my mac bridges the gap when I'm moving files around.
[04:39] <ikesmasher> yea, i wish i had that
[04:39] <ikesmasher> so it like autotransfers
[04:39] <ikesmasher> ?
[04:40] <jagginess> ikesmasher, yes
[04:40] <himanshu_m786> how to install rpm file ?
[04:40] <jagginess> ikesmasher, i believe it gets prepped on the desktop, guessing that linux bundle can do it
[04:40] <ikesmasher> mhm
[04:41] <chobbs> himanshu_m786:  Never tried it, but found this via google: http://www.howtogeek.com/?post_type=post&p=121
[04:42] <BTDT_Desk> I am guessing that by the silence, noone's played with SLI
[04:43] <karen_Deckers_> Rype?
[04:43] <BTDT_Desk> Here's what I have going on right now... in Nvidia X Server Settings, I see GPU 0 and GPU 1, but there's nothing that specifically is saying that they're working in SLI
[04:43] <jagginess> ikesmasher, whats cool is that i have an ipod touch, there's a app i can use.. pretty
[04:44] <Opica> hi guys does anyone have expirience with HP dv7 sound issue in new ubuntu releases?
[04:44] <Opica> and how to get rid if it?
[04:44] <ikesmasher> so it transfers photos from your ipod to the PC whenever you connect to the network
[04:44] <ActionPa1snip> Opica: what is the issue?
[04:44] <ikesmasher> ?
[04:44] <Jonii> I have Ubuntu 12.04, and I'd like to have a separate launcher and separate place where I can access programs that I have opened
[04:45] <Jonii> Are there any good solutions to this? I had a quick glance of Apple OS X way of handling launcher, I liked that
[04:45] <jagginess> ikesmasher, actually its supposed labelled (it has high ratings inthe app store and is free), can pull photos from the camera to your ipod/iphone/ipad
[04:45] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: dash stores recent files and apps you have used..
[04:46] <ikesmasher> ohhh
[04:46] <ActionPa1snip> Opica: 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.sh
[04:46] <ikesmasher> thats cool too
[04:46] <zykotick9> BTDT_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] <Opica> the issue is that my internal speakers arent working, only the the extern speakers.... i googled that is a issue od dv 5-7 hp laptops
[04:46] <jagginess> doesnt say ipod on their page, but i just instaleld it on my ipod..
[04:47] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: 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 use
[04:47] <jagginess> ikesmasher, 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] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: like so: http://www.linuxnov.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Dash-Home-Unity-5.2-Ubuntu-12.04-LTS-Precise-Pangolin.png
[04:47] <ikesmasher> ah.
[04:47] <BTDT_Desk> zykotick9, 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 SLI
[04:47] <Jonii> Either works. Dashboard has way too few programs, and browsing it takes way too many clicks/button presses, it's not natural using it
[04:48] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: 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] <zykotick9> BTDT_Desk: i've never run sli...
[04:48] <BTDT_Desk> I 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] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: there is gnomedo I guess
[04:48] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: 6 partially random programs with 2 clicks is not good enough. I'd want to have a selection of 10+ programs with 1 click
[04:48] <zykotick9> ActionPa1snip: gnome-do is mono :(
[04:49] <BTDT_Desk> since for all intents and purposes it simply looks like both video cards are installed and functioning, but they're not working in concert
[04:49] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: those are the recent programs, not random at all
[04:49] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: whatever you use it will be 2 clicks or a press and a click, think about it
[04:49] <Jonii> I need the visual aid of listing the programs there are. If I know what I'm going to open, I might as well win+type name+enter
[04:49] <himanshu_m786> chobbs : i have i386 type of rpm file . when i convert it in deb file .then it says that the architecture is for i386 . but i have i686 system .and i686 type file is not available on net .isn't a way to convert i386 type to i686 .?

[04:50] <paulus68> I run squid and privoxy however I am not able to tell squid that it needs to pass privoxy any Ideas?
[04:50] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: win button seems a lot easier
[04:50] <jagginess> himanshu_m786, no you cant.. its too problematic.. what app is it? maybe its already avail for ubuntu
[04:50] <Jonii> it's able to guess
[04:50] <Opica> wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh

[04:50] <Opica>   alsactl
[04:50] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: anything you use will need 2 clicks though, one to initiate the selector, and the next to select, so how you get 2 clicks being not good enough is a mystery.
[04:51] <chobbs> himanshu_m786:  No idea, but others suggest no dice. If no deb package is available, can you get source and build it yourself?
[04:51] <himanshu_m786> jagginess : it is auction signing usb driver .
[04:52] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: with launcher as it is, you can have any program on launcher with 1 click. Also, the limitation of there being only 6 programs is a serious one, and the final nail to that coffin is how the list of programs displayed is not customizable
[04:52] <ActionPa1snip> Opica: try:  wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[04:52] <MrMirth1> i just pt together a dell d430 laptop with a solid state hard drive.  do i need to do anyhitng special for this?
[04:52] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: you can add apps to the launcher as you need
[04:53] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: you can slide it up and down and selct what you need and the launchers will compress etc
[04:53] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: that is true, but i want to separate launcher and open window manager
[04:53] <jagginess> MrMirth1, you can ship it to my address thank you :)
[04:54] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: I don't think that is possible, you could add a dock
[04:54] <karen_Deckers_> ..
[04:54] <Jonii> That was what I originally asked for. "Is it possible to separate those two things?"
[04:54] <MrMirth1> interestingly enough the solid state drive is made in the USA
[04:55] <paulus68> I run squid and privoxy however I am not able to tell squid that it needs to pass privoxy anyone on how to achieve this I already tried to get an answer in #squid (yesterday) but it was very calm there :(
[04:55] <ikesmasher> OK guys, i have a little moer generic problem. this is what gdisc says. "Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 2827469540 blocks! You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility."
[04:55] <kanupatar> hi guys
[04:55] <chobbs> MrMirth1:  Wow, what are the odds :) I love the SSD in my laptop. Insanely fast.
[04:55] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: you could add a dock like AWN or docky, you can't get another Unity launcher
[04:55] <kanupatar> Here is my issue, http://forums.freescale.com/t5/i-MX-Microprocessors/i-MX51-LTIB-Ubuntu-11-04-x86-64-glibc-devel/td-p/75501

[04:56] <MrMirth1> chobbs what brand is it?
[04:56] <Jonii> ActionPa1snip: I'd like to get rid of Unity Launcher, actually
[04:56] <chobbs> MrMirth1:  No idea. It shipped in my Mac.
[04:56] <Opica> dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh
[04:56]  * chobbs ducks.
[04:56] <Jonii> I don't like how it handles multiple open windows by same program
[04:56] <[an]droidman> MrMirth1: probably just assembled here so they could say that
[04:56] <MrMirth1> this is a  Super Talent
[04:57] <MonkeyDust> Jonii  unity is not the only DE or shell
[04:57] <[an]droidman> chobbs: don't worry...you're among people that won't physically hurt you, only emotionally
[04:57] <jagginess> ikesmasher, gdisc?
[04:57] <ikesmasher> gdisk*
[04:57] <Jonii> But anyway, I'd just want to separate open window management from launching applications. Having those two in same dock makes for a confusing UI
[04:57] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: +1 Jonii
[04:57] <jagginess> ikesmasher, that can happen if you manually partition your drive without resizing the filesystems (gparted prevents this)
[04:58] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: you could enable the scale compiz plugin and use a hot cornet like Mac does to show all windows
[04:58] <chobbs> [sn]droidman: :) Most of my day is spent with a terminal on it open to my ubuntu servers :)
[04:58] <Jonii> MonkeyDust: but I like Unity overall a lot. It's safe, even though I dislike some of its design ideas
[04:58] <ikesmasher> can it happen with a very corrupted partition table? because it was working quite fine in windows...before i screwed crap up
[04:58] <MrMirth1> hmmmm might be a runcore
[04:58] <jagginess> ikesmasher, say you made a partition table, then made filesystems.., if you later edit the partition table, you'll need to resize the filesystems-- the GUI tools do both steps for you
[04:58] <ikesmasher> k
[04:58] <chobbs> s/sn/an/

[04:59] <ikesmasher> the data is still there when i browse
[04:59] <ikesmasher> its all still there
[04:59] <jagginess> ikesmasher, doesnt mean anything
[04:59] <ActionPa1snip> Jonii: you could install Xubuntu instead then run a tonne of docks, one for each desktop side
[04:59] <[an]droidman> chobbs: the brackets always screw it up
[04:59] <ikesmasher> ?
[05:00] <jagginess> ikesmasher, the filesystem index doesnt mean the storage may have been overwritten (the index is at the beginning of the partition)
[05:00] <jagginess> ikesmasher, (filesystem index)
[05:01] <jagginess> ikesmasher, it's also bad.
[05:01] <jagginess> ikesmasher, you could have 2 filesystems corrupt..
[05:01] <ikesmasher> idk
[05:02] <jagginess> ikesmasher, did you format the last partition? then you're in real trouble..
[05:02] <paulus68> I run squid and privoxy however I am not able to tell squid that it needs to pass privoxy anyone on how to achieve this I already tried to get an answer in #squid (yesterday) but it was very calm there :(
[05:02] <ikesmasher> i have no idea what that means
[05:02] <jagginess> ikesmasher, (dotn format the last partition)
[05:02] <ikesmasher> i didnt no
[05:02] <jagginess> ikesmasher, well you did manually play around with the tables..
[05:02]  * chobbs is looking forward to getting his GT 430 card for his myth box tomorrow :)
[05:02] <jagginess> ikesmasher, good luck
[05:03] <ikesmasher> Jagginess, it says partitions 2 and 1, 3 and 1, 3 and 2, 4 and 1 overlap...mean anything
[05:04] <[an]droidman> chobbs: one day I'll build a great desktop...and light it on fire out of anger sparked from jealousy from this moment
[05:04] <ikesmasher> other then something bad i cant decipher
[05:05] <chobbs> [an]droidman:  It's a (fairly) cheap card. $60. Hoping to get audio out via HDMI on it. My mobo's HDMI isn't supported for audio out.
[05:05] <ikesmasher> ahwhat
[05:06] <jagginess> chobbs, then give me your motherboard :)
[05:07] <chobbs> jagginess:  well, I kinda need it to plug the card into :)
[05:07] <ikesmasher> CPUs? pchh, who needs those
[05:07] <jagginess> chobbs, maybe on bleeding-edge kernels the hdmi works from the motherboard
[05:07] <jagginess> chobbs, btw what audio chipset is used on the mothterboard?
[05:08] <chobbs> jagginess:  I'm being lazy, and running a pretty vanilla ubuntu setup for this box.
[05:08] <jagginess> chobbs, lspci -nn would say i suppose
[05:08] <chobbs> jagginess:  It's an ATI Radeon 4200
[05:08] <jagginess> chobbs, does audio too?
[05:09] <chobbs> switching to nvidia seems the right choice.
[05:09] <jagginess> tsk tsk
[05:09] <chobbs> jagginess:  It does under other OSes :(
[05:09] <jagginess> chobbs, try lspci -nn |pastebinit -t my post
[05:09] <ikesmasher> OK my hd has about 9 problems, and 4 warnings from gdisk
[05:09] <jagginess> chobbs, ,/mypost (nospaces)
[05:09] <[an]droidman> Yeah, tell that to Linus Torvalds
[05:10] <ikesmasher> it says all 4 partitions are "too big for the disc"
[05:10] <chobbs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097780/
[05:11] <owler> How do I get the spellchecker to work on libreoffice?
[05:11] <[an]droidman> chobbs: got enough AMD?
[05:12] <chobbs> [an]droidman:  Just a tad :)
[05:12] <jagginess> chobbs, lsmod |grep -i hda .. i see a kernel 3.2.9.1 -- using module snd-hda-intel
[05:12] <ikesmasher> final question, is ther anything wrong with leaving a live CD booted up for a day or two?
[05:12] <jagginess> chobbs, aplay -L  shows the ati ?
[05:12] <chobbs> [an]droidman:  The rest of the system works briliiantly. Once I get hdmi audio out, I'll be a happy camper.
[05:12] <ActionPa1snip> owler: if you press F7, doesit spellcheck?
[05:12] <gitesh> after installing kde, i have well broken Gnome login screen. How do I make it better again?
[05:13] <owler> ActionPa1snip, nope
[05:13] <blackli410> what?
[05:13] <chobbs> jagginess:  I'm done troubleshooting. Discovered it is a known but unfixed issue. Pretty sure the new card will solve it (and outperform it on video pretty soundly too).
[05:13] <OerHeks> blackli410, what?
[05:13] <ikesmasher> final question, is ther anything wrong with leaving a live CD booted up for a day or two?
[05:13] <jagginess> chobbs, actually the latest kernel would have it working ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137352 ) <
[05:14] <owler> ActionPa1snip, Placing the issue on the search engine does not seem to yield a clear answer either.
[05:14] <jagginess> chobbs, you'll need to use backports to use a 3.xx kernel.. it would be supported by snd-hda-intel module
[05:14] <blackli410> 1689
[05:14] <ActionPa1snip> owler: http://www.jorink.nl/2010/03/install-spellchecker-in-openoffice-on-ubuntu-9-10/   may help
[05:14] <jagginess> chobbs, i know it'll work because the arch guy has the same "[1002:970f]" vendor/device id
[05:14] <paulus68> ActionPa1snip: Do you have any knowledge on proxy configuration?
[05:14] <blackli410> how do use
[05:15] <chobbs> jagginess:  More work than I'm interested in doing, since swapping the card should[1] get me everything I need. [1] Famous last words...
[05:15] <ActionPa1snip> i've used polipo in the past
[05:15] <chobbs> jagginess:  But interesting to know though. Thanks for looking it up!
[05:16] <jagginess> chobbs, it's a simple bpo, add, then apt-get install <kernel> voila :)
[05:16] <jagginess> !backports
[05:16] <paulus68> ActionPa1snip: do you know how to chain squid with privoxy I can't seem to get it to work correctly :(
[05:16] <ActionPa1snip> paulus68: no idea man, have you tried in #squid
[05:16] <jagginess> chobbs, it's worth the shot, (you can save the 60bucks for a return if the onboard works)
[05:17] <paulus68> ActionPa1snip: yes but they are quit sleepy there :(
[05:17] <chobbs> jagginess:  Damn it, fine, I'm cutting and pasting to try before I crack the package :)
[05:17] <owler> ActionPa1snip, F7 does not give me the chance to select spelling/grammar
[05:18] <ys23> how would i set a password using the terminal without interactivity
[05:18] <owler> ActionPa1snip, It just asks whether I want to spell check from the start of the document then autoshuts because there is no dictionary to pick from
[05:18] <ActionPa1snip> owler: seems to use  myspell* packages, use tab to autocomplete the name
[05:18] <chobbs> jagginess:  I do appreciate the tip. It'll be interesting to see if it solves it.
[05:18] <ActionPa1snip> owler: sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-en dictionaries-common hunspell-en-us myspell-en-us
[05:19] <TMD> Where  tom?
[05:19] <ys23> is it possible to do something like useradd username password?
[05:19] <jagginess> chobbs, takes two seconds.. add the backports, apt-get update, then apt-get install the latest kernel (apt-cache search linux-image , if you're not sure which one)
[05:20] <TMD> quit
[05:20] <jagginess> chobbs, (add deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-backports main restricted universe multiverse      to /etc/apt/sources.list  -- modify oneiric to your own release, then apt-get update)
[05:20] <meditator> Hello.. could anyone help me out with a bash script please?
[05:20] <ActionPa1snip> ys23: sudo useradd username -p password
[05:20] <chobbs> jagginess:  Cool. I'll give it a go.
[05:20] <ActionPa1snip> ys23: man useradd...works a treat
[05:21] <ys23> ActionPalsnip: hmm i recall being able to do this although i didn't see this option in the man
[05:21] <jagginess> chobbs, the one on the wiki has "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse"   (you may need to change lucid to whatever release you're using)
[05:21] <owler> ActionPa1snip, http://pastebin.com/7aBqpvwy
[05:21] <chobbs> jagginess:  So that becomes precise-backports then.
[05:22] <owler> ActionPa1snip, That command you gave has some issues
[05:22] <meditator> I have a number of folders (around 150) - there are 5-6 mp3 files in each folder  (tracked) I want to write a script that goes into each folder and joins all the mp3 files into one file and names it as the folder name
[05:22] <elikzir> How do i set a program to automatically open any file with a certain extension in 12.04?
[05:22] <ActionPa1snip> owler: then try just: sudo apt-get install aspell aspell-en
[05:22] <meditator> can this be done easily with a bash script ?
[05:22] <ActionPa1snip> owler: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[05:23] <owler> ActionPa1snip, Precise
[05:23] <jagginess> chobbs, try "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse"
[05:23] <jagginess> elikzir, nautilus-actions (apt-get)
[05:24] <owler> ActionPa1snip, That other command yields 0 installed because everything is already latest and greatest
[05:24] <MonkeyDust> meditator  find ~ -name "mp3" -exec mv {} ;\ [new folder]
[05:24] <MonkeyDust> meditator  try that
[05:24] <elikzir> so if i wanted every .jar file to open with javasdk instead of archive manager, i would do what exactly? Thanks for the help
[05:24] <jagginess> MonkeyDust, thats incomplete
[05:25] <MonkeyDust> jagginess  feel free to complete the command
[05:25] <MonkeyDust> maybe i can learn myself
[05:25] <ActionPa1snip> owler: http://askubuntu.com/questions/72099/how-to-install-a-libreoffice-dictionary-spelling-check-thesaurus
[05:26] <ActionPa1snip> owler: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice#Language_localization.2C_spell_checking.2C_dictionary.2C_hyphenation.2C_thesaurus.2C_and_help
[05:26] <martini> rigth-click on the file, open with. then set, what you want
[05:26] <MonkeyDust> meditator  try this    find ~ -name ".mp3" -exec mv {} [new folder];\
[05:26] <elikzir> martini but that only works with a single file
[05:26] <meditator> MonkeyDust, thanks for that.. i'll try it right away and let you know .. gimme a min
[05:26] <chobbs> jagginess:  If I'm reading his posts right, he went back to a 2.6 kernel? I'm running 3.2.0-26 in precise.
[05:26] <ActionPa1snip> owler: seems to be manually installable: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries
[05:27] <greasegum> gah! my system choked during an install from livecd
[05:27] <wesley_> So, on a lot of servers I keep getting a "Could not resolve your host name; Domain name not found" error
[05:27] <greasegum> now I can't boot to any partition, halp
[05:27] <wesley_> On IRC
[05:27] <wesley_> Anyone know a fix?
[05:28] <jagginess> chobbs, he didnt have snd-hda-intel modprobing properly.. but it is the 3.2.9 kernel he's using
[05:28] <martini> maybe reinstall bootloader?
[05:28] <jagginess> chobbs, uname -a shows your kernel.. you rebooted? (you know which linux-image to install? -> apt-cache search linux-image|pastebinit -t aptoutput )
[05:29] <greasegum> martini: all I can do is boot to a crappy fedora live cd now
[05:29] <elikzir> greasegum ive found that trying again or making a liveusb has worked for me
[05:29] <goddard> how can i share a wireless mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
[05:30] <chobbs> jagginess:  I'm only seeing 3.2.0 kernels in my search. Lemme check my sources again
[05:30] <ghostchick> goddard,  synergy
[05:30] <jagginess> chobbs, what's the list you get? (if its still not working try using the latest)
[05:30] <martini> from there you should be able to reinstall it
[05:31] <jagginess> chobbs, "apt-cache policy <packagename>" would say if its from backprots
[05:31] <greasegum> elikzir: for some reason the fedora live cd won't mount my usb drive
[05:31] <meditator> MonkeyDust, it didnt work .. when i run it as a bash script nothing happens.. when i type it in the terminal it asks me for an input with ">"
[05:31] <greasegum> martini: what's a utility to reinstall the bootloader?
[05:31] <goddard> ghostchick: its a application?
[05:31] <jagginess> goddard, synergy (can also do multi-platform)
[05:31] <MonkeyDust> meditator  try this    find ~ -name ".mp3" -exec mv {} [new folder] ;\       i forgot a space
[05:31] <goddard> ghostchick: hmm thats different
[05:31] <elikzir> I believe you can make a liveusb from a livecd
[05:32] <owler> ActionPa1snip, It works, thanks. Without you, Ubuntu seems to be a cruddy distro.
[05:32] <chobbs> jagginess:  Here's my list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097798/
[05:32] <chobbs> jagginess:  and I'm running 3.2.0-26-generic
[05:32] <MonkeyDust> meditator  try this    find ~ -name ".mp3" -exec mv {} [new folder] \;       it's first a slash, then a colon
[05:33] <owler> ActionPa1snip, Because it is not easy to figure that out based on the plethora of docs out there at odds with one another
[05:33] <elikzir> so how can i assign extension ".jar" to automatically open with java? id rather not right-click every single file
[05:33] <martini> greasegum: "Super GRUB disk" should work. you can put it on a stick with unetbootin
[05:33] <elikzir> *javasdk sorry
[05:33] <jagginess> chobbs, lsmod |grep snd-hda-intel   , is it there? If not, then modprobe snd-hda-intel , then aplay -L  (list devices)
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> whats a good data eraser, so data recovery software can't recover?
[05:34] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  wipe, or wiper
[05:34] <ghostchick> goddard,  please be  clearer on you  program requirement then
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> !info wipe
[05:34] <meditator> MonkeyDust, still same result..
[05:34] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  it's in the repos
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> Monkeydust: tnx alot mate
[05:34] <chobbs> jagginess:  negative, it is not there. modprobe doesn't install it.
[05:34] <goddard> ghostchick: huh?
[05:34] <jagginess> elikzir, ther's a packge for that.. i forget the name for it (try ubuntu wiki)
[05:34] <MonkeyDust> meditator  no success? strange....
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust: will it work for all Os recovery software?
[05:34] <jagginess> chobbs, can it be blacklisted?
[05:34] <elikzir> *sigh* okay, ill look again, thanks jagginess
[05:35] <chobbs> jagginess:  ahhh, it's sda_hda_intel :)
[05:35] <jagginess> chobbs, ok :)
[05:35] <ghostchick> goddard,  you said synergy don't cut it so what exactly are you looking for
[05:35] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  in a termional, type apt-cache show wipe for more details
[05:35] <jagginess> chobbs, aplay -L ?
[05:35] <jagginess> goddard, there's a front end in linux called quick synergy and it works quite well
[05:36] <chobbs> The device is (and has been) listed. It just doesn't put out any sound. And it is balcklisted, now that I think about it. When I forced it to not be blacklisted, I got no video. (The hours of pulling my hair out are omcing back to me now).
[05:36] <goddard> jagginess: cool
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust: looks good! tnx again
[05:36] <jagginess> chobbs, grep -Ri snd-hda-intel /etc/modprobe.d/*  (or snd_hda_intel)
[05:37] <chobbs> jagginess:  No hits on tht grep.
[05:37] <jagginess> chobbs, so its not in any blacklist file.. but you do get it listed..
[05:38] <jagginess> chobbs, how many audio playback devices are listed?
[05:38] <chobbs> jagginess:  aplay -L: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097801/
[05:39] <meditator> MonkeyDust, was that for a bash script or just type in the terminal? does it make any difference ?
[05:39] <MrMirth> ok  this is weird. was using the network on the delld430 that i jsut installed ubunu ok.  shut it off and moved upstairs and now the network doesnt work
[05:39] <MrMirth> any help?
[05:39] <MonkeyDust> meditator  just in a terminal
[05:40] <pardi> ubuntu 12.04 LTS Radeon 4250 trouble, help :(
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> !ask | pardi
[05:41] <jagginess> chobbs, i believe its the same ~/.asoundrc you can try..
[05:41] <chobbs> jagginess:  Yeah, I tried it with no joy. Looks like it should be the same.
[05:42] <jagginess> chobbs, i believe there's another expression format, you can try pcm "hw:x,y" if im correct..
[05:43] <meditator> MonkeyDust, if i just go into each folder and do a "cat *.mp3 > outputname.mp3" it works.. but i will have to type it 150 times... so was looking to get a script
[05:43] <chobbs> jagginess:  just a single line like this? pcm "hw:1,3"
[05:43] <MonkeyDust> meditator  i'm testing a similar script here
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> pardi:whats your question mate?
[05:44] <meditator> MonkeyDust, thanks.. i'll wait
[05:45] <jagginess> chobbs, there's the alsa site.. but i think the arch guy is sloppy on his .asoundrc and was lucky.. you ought to have something
[05:45] <MrMirth> im needing to install a flash plugin.  is their a recommended one?
[05:45] <MEEDORIKEX> Hello, does anyone have the experience in changing the MAC address of a # 3G network adapter/card/modem?
[05:45] <MonkeyDust> meditator  best is to not wait for only me, repeat the question from time to time (but not too often)
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> MrMirth: the one from software centre, adobe flash plugin
[05:46] <jagginess> chobbs, gonna see
[05:46] <meditator> MonkeyDust,  alright thanks
[05:46] <meditator> Hello, could anyone help me out with a script please?
[05:46] <meditator> I have a number of folders (around 150) - there are 5-6 mp3 files in each folder  (tracked). I want to write a script that goes into each folder and joins all the mp3 files into one file and names the new file as "folder name.mp3"

[05:49] <MonkeyDust> meditator  found it, works here
[05:49] <starbuck33> hi, does somebody know a bit about vim syntax highlighting?
[05:49] <meditator> MonkeyDust, so it is the same script you told me earlier is it?
[05:50] <starbuck33> i need to change a color in the python syntax highlighting scheme
[05:50] <MonkeyDust> meditator  it's    find ~ -name "*.mp3" -exec cp {} ~/test/ \;        replace test by whatever name you choose
[05:50] <chobbs> jagginess:  Can I assume the GUI speaker test in mythtv would have tried the same tests? Because I can see the HDMI devices listed in there, but no joy on playing through them.
[05:50] <MonkeyDust> meditator  you may want to use mv instead of cp
[05:52] <jagginess> chobbs, hey that chipset is "certified" whatever that means lol http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:1002:970F-AUDIO/
[05:53] <jagginess> chobbs, i believe you can get it to work.. provided the full/proper ~/.asoundrc file is set
[05:53] <jagginess> chobbs, btw does alsamixer run?
[05:54] <chobbs> jagginess:  I'm trying different variants of aplay -D device:card,channel something.wav woth no effect.

[05:57] <chobbs> jagginess:  Gonna shut down here. really appreciate the effort. Crossing my finger that dropping in the GT430 makes this annoyance go away :)
[05:57] <jagginess> chobbs, maybe add your user to "audio media pulse pulse-access" groups

[06:01] <jagginess> ,/pulse
[06:02] <chobbs> Frankly, since the nvidia card gets such high marks from the mythtv folks, and seems to fully supported on ubuntu, I think I'll wait for my package to show up tomorrow and throw it in :)

[06:03] <L3top> The way I deal with it is blacklist the intel (card 0) forcing the ATI into card 0s spot... then aplay is happy with it... but yes... the nvidia is a lot less headache... though you will probably have to do the same thing... depending.
[06:03] <jagginess> chobbs, you should give a feedback entry, saying the problem is on your system too.. helps bring awareness tothe problem
[06:03] <chobbs> jagginess:  Checked, user is membre of all groups (except media, which does not exist on my system)
[06:04] <jagginess> chobbs, what does it say in pulseuadio.conf ?
[06:04] <jagginess> chobbs, and /etc/asound.conf ?

[06:05] <chobbs> no asound.conf, no pulseaudio.conf that I can see

[06:06] <jagginess> ok, so it starts from 0..
[06:06]  * chobbs avoids the floodbot :)
[06:06] <jagginess> chobbs, ^
[06:06] <jagginess> chobbs, you tried 1 as a literal.. looks like the enumeration starts from zero
[06:07] <an0n> MonkeyDust: to use the windows xp
[06:07] <tking> hello community, pls i need advise http://ad-upload.com/424/424.csv this file opens when downloaded and this doesn't http://ad-upload.com/425/425.csv  on ubuntu but both opens on windows but i only use ubuntu
[06:07] <chobbs> jagginess:  ? Not following.
[06:08] <L3top> mk... then I would dump the SB I assumed the ati was an addon, not onboard... sorry chobbs. Was trying to go quick and greasy. HDMI, in my experience, WANTS very badly to be in card 0s slot.
[06:08] <jagginess> chobbs, for the ~/.asoundrc or other tests, the soundcard#0 is used instead of "1" (as the arch guy has in his setting)
[06:09] <L3top> chobbs: speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:1,3
[06:09] <chobbs> L3top:  Interesting. So I need to blacklist the SB device so that HDMI gets promoted oto that slot?
[06:09] <L3top> correct chobbs.
[06:09] <jagginess> chobbs, aplay -L doesnt show the numbers as clearly? (you mentioned you did aplay -l that looks better)
[06:10] <chobbs> L3top:  speaker-test runs, but no output
[06:10] <jagginess> L3top, he's trying to get hdmi to work
[06:10] <jagginess> chobbs, but what is plugged in? (analog and hdmi?)
[06:11] <L3top> I am aware jagginess. chobbs, to be clear you have unmuted everything... including using f6 and swapping to card 1 in alsamixer?
[06:11] <ActionPa1snip> L3top: is there an alsa URL?
[06:11] <summershyn> who can tell me that what's the meanning of casper when we use the grub command "kernel /vmlinuz boot=casper"?
[06:11] <chobbs> jagginess:  both. switching on my receiver to see if anything is coming out.
[06:12] <ActionPa1snip> summershyn: it;s the compressed file on the liveCD as far as I am aware
[06:12] <an0n> lotuspsychje: In a 80 gb hd windows xp sp3 would install the entire hd or create two partitions C (system) and D (data)
[06:12] <L3top> chobbs: Or you can just use this: amixdigital=$(amixer | grep "Simple" | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixdigital; do amixer sset $output unmute; done 2>/dev/null; alsactl store     that will unmute everything.
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> an0n: this is an ubuntu channel, not windows help
[06:12] <L3top> I am not sure I follow ActionPa1snip.
[06:12] <ActionPa1snip> summershyn: the casper file uses squashfs and holds the live environemt
[06:12] <chobbs> L3top:  correct, I;ve used alsamixer to ensure that card 1 (HDMI) is unmuted. It shows as S/PDIF, which seems right?
[06:13] <MonkeyDust> an0n  type /join ##windows
[06:13] <ActionPa1snip> L3top: the alsa-info.sh file, has it been used to generate the alsa info URL?
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> an0n: i would sugest installing ubuntu fast and loose windows :p
[06:14] <L3top> ActionPa1snip: until you can pipe sound directly using aplay, a config file isn't going to help, unless I still misunderstand. The term URL is foriegn to me in this regard.
[06:16] <psakrii>  /msg NickServ identify micheal22
[06:16] <chobbs> L3top:  So if I wanted to blacklist the SB device, how would I do so?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> lol
[06:17] <L3top> chobbs: It can appear as s/pdif... or iec958xx etc, or HDMI... if you press f6 in alsamixer what are your options?
[06:17] <an0n> lotuspsychje: Yes, it was unfortunately difficult to run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with two monitors and the alternative for now is to use windows xp. If I can take that question as long ago not format with windows xp
[06:17] <chobbs> L3top:  just card 0 (HDA ATI SB) and card 1 (HDA ATI HDMI)
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> an0n: its possible to run 2 monitors on ubuntu
[06:18] <L3top> and if you choose card 1 it shows as spdif?
[06:18] <chobbs> L3top:  correct
[06:18] <ActionPa1snip> L3top: you know 'wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh'
[06:18] <an0n> lotuspsychje: In a radeon xpress 200m?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> an0n: all you need to do is ask in channel howto
[06:19] <jagginess> spots "aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav"
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows how that package name is called for 2 monitors?
[06:19] <jagginess> lotuspsychje, xrandr command ?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> yes tnx
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> !info xrandr | an0n
[06:20] <DanielSP> psakrii : use this to change your password: /nickserv set passwd oldpassword newpassword

[06:21] <kanupatar> hi guys
[06:21] <kanupatar> how can i see network proxy in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> an0n:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/xrandr.1.html
[06:22] <jagginess> chobbs, a caveat is i need to use an hdmi-rca converter to bring back to life a old stereo set
[06:22] <jagginess> chobbs, my choke is gonna be for making sure the converter is compatible with the hdmi port..
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> !info randr
[06:22] <chobbs> L3top:  Can I just add 'blacklist snd_hda_intel' to balcklist.conf and reboot?
[06:22] <jagginess> lotuspsychje, /msg ubottu <keyword>
[06:23] <jagginess> chobbs, did you try that last shot? (mentioned an aplay command)
[06:23] <meditator> MonkeyDust, i tried in #bash.. got the solution.. thought i'd let you know as well.. it is a single line bash script ... for f in ./*; do cat "$f"/*.mp3 > "$f"/"$f".mp3 done
[06:23]  * jagginess "aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav"
[06:23] <meditator> MonkeyDust, thanks for your help
[06:24] <superlinux-hp> I have a flash drive Sony pendrive that is recognized by dmesg . but lsusb does not see it. the system does not mount it. this one has FM radio and a recorder and an MP3 player. what should I do?
[06:24] <jagginess> DanielSP, psakrii /msg Nickerv help   (use /msg  nickserv)
[06:24] <an0n> lotuspsychje: What happens is that when I use two monitors with their respective resolutions I have to use both in a lower resolution since radeon xpress 200 m does not have full support
[06:24] <L3top> What I would do is try something like options hda-ati-sb model=auto  to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf... but I am looking for the correct verbiage...
[06:24] <L3top> chobbs: ^
[06:25] <chobbs> jagginess:  The one here? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/201926 No joy.
[06:25] <jagginess> an0n, it's a pita.. i tried helping someone on this.. they almost got it working .. this stuff is either broked/too much pita/ or maybe just geek luck i guess..
[06:25] <L3top> to be honest I have never run across this on ati with intel being involved... still looking chobbs.
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> an0n:its worth a try with latest ati drivers for ubuntu and xrandr
[06:26] <jagginess> L3top, ouch another module can load that ati hdmi..
[06:26] <jagginess> OO
[06:26] <jagginess> omfg.. linux is so cruel
[06:26] <jagginess> lol
[06:26] <chobbs> L3top:  There are some lines with the following comment aove them: "# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0" Is that what I'm looking for?
[06:27] <MonkeyDust> meditator  great, but my script *did* work for me :-)
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> an0n: man xrandr in terminal
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> bbl
[06:28] <jagginess> an0n, it wont work, it'll take more than xrandr..
[06:28] <jagginess> an0n, and this is where it gets really geeky
[06:29] <an0n> lotuspsychje: yes
[06:29] <jagginess> an0n, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/
[06:30] <chobbs> L3top:  OK, I have HDMI in card 0 now :) Let's see oif that helps
[06:31] <L3top> chobbs run this again sudo speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:1,3
[06:32] <chobbs> L3top:  It should be hw:0,3 now, right, but still no audio :(
[06:32] <L3top> this just sends a sine noise at 48000... nicer than pink noise and not dependant on codecs... its just a safe quick I work or dont.
[06:32] <L3top> doh
[06:32] <L3top> good point on the 0.
[06:32] <tking> hello community, pls i need advise http://ad-upload.com/424/424.csv this file opens when downloaded and this doesn't http://ad-upload.com/425/425.csv  on ubuntu but both opens on windows but i only use ubuntu
[06:32] <L3top> chobbs: and this is going to the TV or an amp?
[06:32] <L3top> from hdmi
[06:32] <chobbs> L3top:  TV first, then amp.
[06:32] <chobbs> L3top:  And my roku works just fine through the tv
[06:33] <L3top> chobbs: how did you get that HDMI into position 0 btw?
[06:33] <jagginess> chobbs, 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] <jagginess> gnite everyone
[06:35] <chobbs> L3top:  Added the following to alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel index=-2
[06:35] <L3top> should just stick with the tv for now chobbs.
[06:35] <L3top> chobbs: so there is nothing in card 1 then correct?
[06:36] <L3top> One second... there is something weird you have to do for ATI I remember now.
[06:36] <chobbs> L3top:  card 1 is now the SB
[06:36] <L3top> o rlly
[06:36] <L3top> oh btw, did you just reload alsa after that?
[06:37] <chobbs> L3top:  right. what i added forced it out of slot 0. I rebooted.
[06:38] <L3top> btw chobbs are you using the fglrx driver in the repo?
[06:38] <kohvihoor> how big is the performance penalty on using ubuntu installed with wubi vs native?
[06:38] <chobbs> L3top:  I've got fglrx loaded. How do I confirm that I have it from the repo?
[06:38] <kohvihoor> google offers only some old articles on this
[06:39] <L3top> thats it.. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1"
[06:39] <L3top> do dat and reboot.
[06:39] <chobbs> L3top:  OK, I had tried that before, and ended up with a black screen.
[06:39] <L3top> chobbs: if you didnt download the driver from ATI, then you got it from the repo
[06:39] <chobbs> L3top:  Which is when I was convinced I wasn't going to get this card working :)
[06:39] <chobbs> s/was/got/
[06:40] <L3top> chobbs: then you have to update grub... this is the only way it can work afaik.
[06:40] <chobbs> L3top:  pretty sure I'm using the repo driver.
[06:40] <L3top> btw chobbs... do not be too eager to get the latest ATI stuff... they have dropped support for your card.
[06:41] <L3top> will no longer work.
[06:41] <chobbs> L3top:  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] <L3top> anything past 12-5 on their side.
[06:42] <L3top> gt 430 is a pain in the buttox too.
[06:42] <chobbs> L3top:  I didn't need to hear that :(
[06:42] <chobbs> L3top:  The mythtv folks seem to like it :/
[06:42] <L3top> less of a pain than the ATI.
[06:43] <L3top> Our project uses Myth... but we are on an older version... I am sure it will be fine.
[06:43] <chobbs> L3top:  when you say update grub, are you talking about something from backports?
[06:44] <L3top> chobbs: after you add radeon.audio=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT        you have to update grub
[06:44] <chobbs> actually, looking now and I do have radeon.audio=1 in my grub
[06:45] <chobbs> L3top:  and I'm looking at it at boot time, so it was updated
[06:45] <L3top> chu must to sudo update-grub !!! lol
[06:45] <L3top> got black screen?
[06:46] <L3top> this is a kernel bug btw.
[06:46] <chobbs> no, no, I rebooted and went into edit mode in grub to see the settings.
[06:46] <chobbs> so it's been turned on since the last time I trid to tackle this (45 days ago)
[06:46] <L3top> k
[06:46] <L3top> please to update-grub
[06:46] <L3top> lol
[06:46] <L3top> I am just a stickler for routine.
[06:47] <L3top> certainly wont hurt anything.
[06:47] <chobbs> L3top:  sure, stand by a bit
[06:48] <chobbs> rebooting...
[06:48] <Phoebus> Anyone having issues shutting down or rebooting ubuntu from the gui? I get sent back to the login screen. So I just issues reboot / halt via ssh instead.
[06:49] <Phoebus> And that's on two separate boxes.
[06:49] <MonkeyDust> Phoebus  i had that too.... in a terminal, type sudo shutdown -h now     next time, it will shut down as it should
[06:50] <MonkeyDust> Phoebus  or rather, sudo shutdown -r now      r for restart
[06:50]  * L3top thinks he was right with the -h
[06:51] <chobbs> L3top:  rebooted, everything working the same :/
[06:52] <L3top> well pudu.
[06:53] <L3top> you are running aplay as sudo right?
[06:53] <chobbs> L3top:  Yup. I'm going to call it a night. I'll give the 430 a shot tomorrow and see how it works.
[06:53] <Phoebus> MonkeyDust, roger that, cheers.

[06:56] <Douglas> Hello!
[06:56] <L3top> D1 have you checked the md5sum of the image you are burning?
[06:57] <D1> L3top: i do not know what that is, i simply burnt the image with Alcohol 120% on a DVD
[06:57] <chobbs> L3top:  Thanks a ton for the effort. Would have been niceto have pulled it off :)
[06:57] <ReXiO> D1: check md5 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[06:57] <D1> ReXiO: ok i will have read
[06:57] <L3top> sorry chobbs... will see you tomorrow with the new nvidia.
[06:58] <chobbs> L3top:  you bet *poof*
[06:58] <D1> ReXiO: ok, i see. It seems complicated. where do i start?
[06:58] <D1> ReXiO: I am running on Windows 7
[06:58] <D1> ReXiO: idk. I dont do computing. where do i enter commands and etc...
[06:59] <MonkeyDust> D1  you're in the wrong channel, no windows support here
[06:59] <D1> MonkeyDust: I cannot install it, so I have to use window!?
[06:59] <L3top> It is in the link D1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows
[06:59] <Douglas> Hey can someone give me a hand? I'm trying to install a dual boot of ubuntu alongside windows. I get to grub and select ubuntu, but then it just boots to a terminal and does nothing. Any advice?
[06:59] <MonkeyDust> D1  you said you are in windows right now
[07:00] <D1> MonkeyDust: I am trying to put Ubuntu on a disk run and it is not working... How do you expect me to get help if i cant ask from an OS
[07:00] <D1> L3top: cool, checking it now
[07:01] <L3top> Douglas, it sounds like your DE is not loading. In this terminal, is it prompting you to login?
[07:01] <Douglas> it's just a blinking _ awaiting input
[07:01] <Douglas> should I try "startx" ?
[07:02] <L3top> If it aint asking you for a login... that aint gonna go
[07:02] <L3top> You have to login before you can issue commands.
[07:03] <L3top> Douglas: if you hit ctrl alt f2 do you get a login prompt at terminal?
[07:03] <Douglas> alt f2 doesn't open anything. I can enter text but it's just kinda.. meaningless
[07:03] <L3top> ctrl alt f2?
[07:04] <L3top> It should take you to tty2
[07:04] <L3top> which may have a login prompt... if it got that far before hanging
[07:04] <S_kthi> Hi I ubuntu 12.04 along with windows 7. My problem compiz keeps crashing often.
[07:04] <Douglas> we're gonna try a reinstall for now. I'll get back to you afterwards. Thanks for the quick reply though! I'll get back to you.
[07:05] <D1> L3top: ok, i got this for the ISO image downloaded from the official website d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f
[07:05] <L3top> S_kthi: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[07:05] <D1> L3top: Is this normal?
[07:06] <L3top> !md5sum
[07:06] <D1> well... the thing states that there is no problem
[07:06] <S_kthi> L3top: I am currently chatting thru mobile
[07:07] <D1> I run an i7 which is a quad core... does choosing the x64 or x86 makes a diff?
[07:07] <L3top> It 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] <D1> L3top: yes it is identical
[07:07] <tensorpudding> D1, yes, it makes a difference, but you can choose either of them
[07:07] <D1> tensorpudding: hummm... yes is strange it is not booting
[07:08] <L3top> D1 then the image is not the problem. You have some piece of hardware that is tripping it up.
[07:08] <D1> L3top: i shall try burning in another new DVD
[07:08] <L3top> D1 if you dropped it to USB with the same behavior, I don't think the burn is bad.
[07:09] <D1> L3top: nor the USB or the DVD works
[07:10] <n0b2> hi all.. do i need to install nvidia drivers on xubuntu? it seems to be running fine, btw what are the drivers for i really don't need compiz..
[07:10] <D1> L3top: I followed the prompt, it says reboot is requred. Then I went for I want to reboot now. It rebooted the Window. I am absolutely certain that I change the boot priority right
[07:10] <D1> L3top: So I tried the Help me to boot from CD
[07:10] <nabdev> hi all, in my Ubuntu Os i generate ssh key by [ssh-keygen -t rsa] i add my public key to remote server but when i want to clone my project the remote not accept my passphrase ! any help
[07:11] <oXis> help me!
[07:11] <L3top> n0b2: the drivers provide video accelleration(VDPAU) compositing and 3d rendering... however... I am a big fan of "if it aint broke, don't fix it"
[07:11] <oXis> I can't connect to my main user!
[07:11] <oXis> pleaseee
[07:11] <n0b2> D1,  there is a option to choose what to boot from on startup.. press f12 esc or delete.. it usually shows up for a few seconds
[07:12] <oXis> when I am writing my password it is doing the drums error sound
[07:12] <D1> L3top: strange... i no longer get the error for "Help me boot Helper"
[07:12] <D1> L3top: it is installing something right now on my USB with ubuntu on it
[07:12] <n0b2> L3top, i had ubuntu 12.04 and i think pro drivers ruined it... thanks!
[07:12] <D1> L3top: that doesnt stuff up my files and OS on other partition right?
[07:13] <n0b2> xubu is running fine..
[07:14] <n0b2> it is such a pleasure to have different choices in linux/ubuntu
[07:15] <D1> L3top: ok... i just retried Ubuntu on another PC (not this one which I want it installed), it WORKS
[07:15] <syn-ack> Hey guys, Know of a wma infotag (similar to an id3 tag) editor for linux?
[07:15] <oXis> I had pressed Ctrl+Alt+F3 and I can't connect to my user!
[07:15] <D1> ok i am gonna restart. thanks for the help L3top and ReXiO
[07:15] <oXis> Help!!!
[07:16] <oXis> This is very important!!
[07:17] <n0b2> oh btw.. grub is not showing up on boot.. all of the new install i did w/12.04... mint, ubuntu, and xubuntu.. whats wrong? how can i fix grub2?
[07:17] <n0b2> so i can make a selection of what to boot..
[07:18] <oXis> 100 people and nothing :(
[07:18] <oXis> I have fully modified XBMC!!!!!
[07:18] <oXis> I can't restore
[07:19] <L3top> you have to press shift several times during boot n0b2 to get to grub
[07:19] <L3top> !xbmc
[07:19] <oXis> Can't use it now
[07:19] <oXis> Because my user isn't working!
[07:20] <n0b2> L3top, on boot and it will show up? maybe because ubuntu is the only os now.. grub is not showing
[07:20] <L3top> correct n0b2.
[07:21] <n0b2> L3top, i am in the process of installing xp in my other partition.. will this shift process work too.. or should i use the livecd/usb repair way? thanks again
[07:22] <L3top> Wait... what? You are installing xp on a machine that has ubuntu already installed n0b2?
[07:23] <oXis> wooohoooo I fixed it!!!
[07:23] <L3top> xp is going to overwrite the MBR. You are going to have to reinstall grub and update it afterwards n0b2.
[07:23] <n0b2> on another partition.. i currently have 4 partitions on the hdd.. 1st ubu, 2nd swap, 3rd xp, 4th storage
[07:23] <oXis> Do you know some good movies for my xbmc?
[07:23] <L3top> Yeah... you should install windows first, ubuntu second usually.
[07:24] <L3top> !ot | oXis
[07:24] <oXis> you are so nice!
[07:25] <oXis> you are so nice!\
[07:25] <oXis> Do you know how to add a web browser to XBMC?
[07:26] <L3top> Try /join #xbmc oXis.
[07:26] <n0b2> L3top, yes i should of.. anyway i needed blank disc to burn xp too.. any idea on a good pirate bay version.. ehehe
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> loose the windows :p
[07:27] <oXis> +1000000
[07:27] <oXis> Use ubuntu with gnome3
[07:27] <oXis> In my opinion
[07:28] <L3top> This channel does not support warez, nor does freenode in general.
[07:28] <n0b2> linux rocks although there are alot of things we still cannot do in it..
[07:28] <L3top> This is a support room oXis. If you want to chit chat, drop into #ubuntu-offtopic.
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> n0b2:like what?
[07:28] <n0b2> this pc will be for sale windows and linux side by side
[07:29] <n0b2> oovoo.. for one
[07:29] <ReXiO> lotuspsychje: run MS Office? xD
[07:29] <L3top> Not only do you want to pirate windows, but you want to sell it? Definitely in the wrong channel for that.
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> ReXiO: libreoffice can do all what ms can
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> L3top:lol
[07:30] <auronandace> c'mon guys, let's not turn this into a flame war
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> n0b2:im sure there are ovoo alternatives
[07:30] <n0b2> i know we have skype.. but there are those who want oovoo.. 80 or more % of people use windows too..
[07:30] <ReXiO> lotuspsychje: but I always have problems when opening files made in MSOffice
[07:30] <L3top> This is all off-topic.
[07:31] <n0b2> lotuspsychje, yes there are alternatives.. but again they are alternatives... L3top j/k..
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> ReXiO:youre in the right channel for opening libreoffice files in ubuntu
[07:31] <n0b2> love open office hands down
[07:32] <n0b2> i must admit we have come a long way.. youtube was a problem.. facebook had issues.. now those are fixed but we still have a long way to go
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> n0b2:maybe wine ovoo would do the trick?
[07:33] <auronandace> n0b2: do you have a ubuntu support issue?
[07:33] <n0b2> lotuspsychje, it might.. but for a noob.. they probably won't know what wine is..
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> !info wine | n0b2
[07:35] <n0b2> well, this should go to the off topic section.. we should not rebute this here, but i have experienced new users first hand and their reaction after a month..
[07:35] <kanupatar> hi guys, when i run the configur script for glibc , I am getting the issue like "configure: error: linker with -z relro support required"
[07:35] <kanupatar> any idea?
[07:36] <uuhan> Does Linux Mint support the apt-get command for daily updating?
[07:37] <auronandace> uuhan: linux mint isn't supported here
[07:37] <DJones> !mint | uuhan
[07:37] <uuhan> Thx
[07:43] <kanupatar> hi guys
[07:43] <DanielSP> Hi kanupatar
[07:44] <kanupatar> where can i find glibc deb package fon installation..it is not there in the repo
[07:44] <ke5pcv_> Does anyone else find this in poor taste like I do? So after 9-11, the owner of the World Trade Center Larry Silverstein went to court, demanding that his insurance company pay DOUBLE the insurance pay out for the September 11th Attacks, saying that "two planes counted as TWO SEPARATE acts of terrorism". Well...the court voted in favor of Silverstein, and he got double the money for the Attacks. Walked away with billions, 7.5 Billion compared to the orig
[07:44] <ke5pcv_> inal ~3 Billion he should have gotten... Does that sound right to you?
[07:46] <MO_Handes> I had a 1 mb partition without filesystem. I removed it to reduce number of primary partitions in order to install ubuntu. now when I try to boot windows I face a blue page and the system restarts. how to repair that startup problem?
[07:47] <L3top> !info eglibc-source
[07:48] <auronandace> MO_Handes: that is a windows problem, we can't help, try ##windows
[07:53] <aeplus> if it is on a laptop, it sounds like a recovery partition got lost, may need to re-establish the partition with software provided by the laptop vendor
[07:54] <MO_Handes> I had a 1 mb partition without filesystem. I removed it to reduce number of primary partitions in order to install ubuntu. now when I try to boot windows I face a blue page and the system restarts. how to repair that startup problem?
[07:54] <Percoles> Good day guys... Who knows the PK for Ghost Rider... I wanna watch it with VLC but it is a new bluray disc
[07:55] <L3top> MO_Handes: This is ubuntu support... you need to /join ##windows  for help with your broken windows install.
[07:56] <L3top> Percoles: how is this an ubuntu support question?
[07:56] <L3top> This place gets weird at 4 am.
[07:56] <DJones> L3top: Or 9am where I am :)
[07:57] <auronandace> DJones: snap, uk
[07:58] <DJones> Percoles: The last I heard, Blueray isn't particularly well supported on linux systems as yet, this may be of use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[07:59] <Percoles> L3top: Sorry... I searched the internet and there is no one on the VLC channel
[08:00] <auronandace> Percoles: this still isn't the place to ask
[08:00] <Percoles> DJones: Well... It sure is... Ubutnu has VLC with libbluray and libaacs
[08:00] <andrewh192> hey, i am tryin to figure out why when i play some videos on youtube, the people look blue.
[08:00] <andrewh192> skin color is way off...

[08:01] <mang0> andrewh192: Don't watch Avatar?
[08:01] <andrewh192> but, like if i watch a mp4 file or something its ok
[08:01] <andrewh192> mang0: lol?

[08:05] <L3top> Not here.
[08:08] <IlikeMoose> how do i find out if my pc supports usb 1.0 or 2.0?
[08:09] <wdp> IlikeMoose, type in "lsusb"
[08:09] <wdp> IlikeMoose, do you see usb root hubs?
[08:09] <andrewh192> L3top: I was wondering which solution would be the best/easiest to do
[08:09] <wdp> IlikeMoose, if yes, you should also see, if they're 2.0 or 1.0 or 1.1, or whatever.
[08:09] <wdp> IlikeMoose, apart from lsusb you can check dmesg.
[08:09] <IlikeMoose> bus 1 says 2.0 but the rest say 1.0
[08:10] <andrewh192> L3top: it seems that this page give multible solutions and reading them, I can't really figure out which would work better
[08:10] <IlikeMoose> err 1.1
[08:10] <L3top> andrewh192: I would go for sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[08:12] <wdp> IlikeMoose, now you can attach something to it and check lsusb -v the output is verbose, but you'll see how they're connected. check for bcdUSB
[08:13] <andrewh192> ok
[08:13] <andrewh192> L3top: i did that, and nothing happened....
[08:13] <andrewh192> L3top: it just went to another prompt
[08:13] <andrewh192> L3top: was it supposed to have some verbose logging of what's happening?
[08:13] <IlikeMoose> wdp: still reading through dmesg
[08:14] <wdp> IlikeMoose, dmesg | grep usb
[08:14] <andrewh192> L3top: like when u install something via a terminal session?
[08:16] <wdp> IlikeMoose, actually thats an interesting question though. My razer mouse is detected as full speed usb device, according to lsusb -v checking for bcdUSB it's 1.1 and not 2.0
[08:17] <wdp> IlikeMoose, but, to answer your question: if there's a hub with 2.0 listed in lsusb i'd say it supports usb2.
[08:18] <philballew> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097920/
[08:18] <andrewh192> L3top: or is it just that quick?
[08:18] <philballew> Ideas on why checkinstall failed? ^
[08:18] <IlikeMoose> wdp: my kindle is listed as a 1.0 device weird
[08:18] <philballew> *ideas
[08:18] <wdp> IlikeMoose, i don't have a kindle, but whats the problem? bandwidth?
[08:19] <yannick> I love razer and the speed of it
[08:19] <yannick> look
[08:19] <Thorbjorn> o/
[08:19] <andrewh192> L3top: yay, its fixed...
[08:19] <andrewh192> L3top: thanx
[08:20] <IlikeMoose> wdp: no, i'm just wondering how slow the usb external hard drive i'm getting is going to be...basically i'm weighing out buying a ide hard disk to replace the 40 gig i have no on a 5 year old computer or get a new fancy usb external drive
[08:21] <wdp> IlikeMoose, your computer has just ide.. 33, 66, 100, 133?
[08:21] <marc_> I just burned a dvd-rw with my dvd-player and my dvd-player is convinced something is on it (and I believe it, it wouldn't lie...), but when inserted into my computer, ubuntu tells me nothing's on it! Is there a program/way to be able to see and record the video on the dvd to ubuntu?
[08:21] <auronandace> IlikeMoose: if you get an internal drive you can also get an external caddy should you change your mind
[08:21] <IlikeMoose> wdp: how can i find out? i know it's just ide at least i'm pretty sure it's ide
[08:22] <wdp> IlikeMoose, again, dmesg :)
[08:24] <wdp> IlikeMoose, check for dmesg | grep hda or dmesg | grep sda or something like that. I asked because: ata/atapi 6 (udma5 / ultra-dma-100) may be up to 100 mb per second - that will be for sure faster than usb 2. ata/atapi 7 (udma6 / ultra ... 133) will go up to 133 mb/s but not sure if you find such discs anymore.
[08:25] <fairuz> kanupatar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143189/how-to-enable-relro-support
[08:25] <ripthejacker> where to set environment in ubuntu 12.04. .profile .bashrc etc are not recommended?
[08:25] <wdp> IlikeMoose, 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.
[08:26] <IlikeMoose> wdp: does linux list sata devices as scsi for some reason?
[08:26] <ripthejacker> !env
[08:26] <wdp> IlikeMoose, yes, it does.
[08:26] <IlikeMoose> wdp: looks like i'm in luck i have a 1.5Gbps sata drive
[08:27] <IlikeMoose> wdp: all 40 gigs of it
[08:27] <wdp> IlikeMoose, no, 1,5gbs will be the link .)
[08:28] <IlikeMoose> wdp: here's my drive according to the serial number i got from dmesg http://www.impactcomputers.com/st3402112as.html
[08:29] <wdp> IlikeMoose, 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] <wdp> IlikeMoose, in my case: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 224 MB in  3.00 seconds =  74.57 MB/sec
[08:29] <wdp> (but thats under load)
[08:29] <Onixs> installing packages automatically loads the app startup?
[08:29] <Onixs> during
[08:30] <IlikeMoose> wdp: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 210 MB in  3.02 seconds =  69.49 MB/sec
[08:31] <wdp> IlikeMoose, so its like 9,49 mb/s faster than usb2  if you trust the test of hdparm p
[08:31] <wdp> :p
[08:31] <IlikeMoose> wdp: maybe i'll invest in a nice big fancy 2tb drive :)
[08:32] <wdp> IlikeMoose, 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.
[08:33] <IlikeMoose> thanks for the help wdp
[08:34] <wdp> IlikeMoose, you're welcome, help the next one with the same problem .)
[08:37] <stedet> Hi
[08:39] <wdp> IlikeMoose, 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] <Naphatul> does anyone know of a player that sorts the music library by folder structure?
[08:39] <lotuspsychje> what happens after reporting a system error? does it actually get solved on further updates?
[08:39] <IlikeMoose> wdp: thanks, i'm looking on hp's website for any details
[08:40] <auronandace> lotuspsychje: if it can be, thats the idea of reporting them
[09:01] <bilgin> hi is it better to install kubuntu on ubuntu or install ubuntu on kubuntu(i will use both unity and kde)
[09:02] <auronandace> bilgin: i'd assume it would be better to start with ubuntu rather than kubuntu
[09:02] <denes> is there a shortcut to open up the terminal emulator?
[09:02] <MonkeyDu1t> denes  ctrl alt t
[09:02] <denes> thanks
[09:03] <denes> it does not work
[09:03] <bilgin> auronandace: can you say the reason
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> denes  if ypu're in unity, holcd down the super key for a list of shortcuts
[09:04] <auronandace> bilgin: i'd expect you'd get more problems installing unity after the fact than kde (just a hunch)
[09:04] <denes> im on xubuntu
[09:05] <denes> nothing happens by holding down super key
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> denes  i missed rthat part in your suestion
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> q
[09:05] <denes> super key + t worked, thanks
[09:05] <bilgin> auronandace:thanks for your answer, so if i install ubuntu and kubuntu desktop i get less problems?
[09:06] <auronandace> bilgin: like i said, its a hunch
[09:06] <bilgin> thanks

[09:31] <jivora> Hi.. I am using a linux module called tc . I want to see logs. where can I see that? syslogs??
[09:31] <ikonia> jivora: the module won't log to a syslog
[09:32] <ikonia> jivora: what distro are you using and what is this module ?
[09:32] <ikonia> what information do you actually want on it
[09:33] <jivora> i am using a hardy.
[09:33] <BuisSse> tc seems like a traffic shaping module
[09:33] <jivora> ikonia : 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 working
[09:33] <BuisSse> if ive not mistaken
[09:33] <jivora> BuisSse : correct.
[09:34] <ikonia> ahh, so not a kernel module then
[09:34] <ikonia> ok, I thought you where looking at a kernel module with the phrase "module"
[09:34] <BuisSse> well tc has its own logger
[09:34] <BuisSse> it doesnt send logs to syslog
[09:34] <BuisSse> does the module work?
[09:35] <jivora> BuisSse : 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?
[09:36] <BuisSse> the program which ur using will have to generate logs for you
[09:38] <jivora> BuisSse : 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./
[09:39] <TorbenBeta> I 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] <BuisSse> well tc by default doesnt generate any logs....
[09:39] <BuisSse> you will need to create a program around tc to generate logs for you
[09:41] <geirha> TorbenBeta: In bash, run   shopt -s extglob   then   cp ./!(*-1.JPG) /path/to/dest/
[09:41] <jivora> BuisSse : 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] <TorbenBeta> geirha, thank you.
[09:42] <TorbenBeta> What is shopt?
[09:42] <geirha> TorbenBeta: A bash command to enable disable certain shell options.
[09:43] <geirha> TorbenBeta: See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob for more about what you can do with globs
[09:43] <BuisSse> jivora : Well...i have a certain knowledge of how tc works, but will not be able to help you with the logging options
[09:45] <TorbenBeta> geirha, returns me a lot of errors.
[09:46] <geirha> TorbenBeta: What do they say?
[09:46] <jivora> BuisSse : Thanks.
[09:46] <TorbenBeta> geirha, that I'm too stupid to read.
[09:47] <TorbenBeta> I copied and pasted the "then"
[09:48] <geirha> TorbenBeta: 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 ...
[09:49] <TorbenBeta> geirha, just noticed
[09:49] <TorbenBeta> geirha, should I turn it on again, after I'm finished?
[09:50] <geirha> TorbenBeta: Nah, it won't interfere with regular globs. I keep it enabled all the time by having shopt -s extglob in ~/.bashrc

[10:06] <wOlfLisK> Don't think so on Ubuntu right now. But not sure how I can install them right now with this issue :/
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> w0lfLisK: try holding shift at boot to enter grub loading for booting failsafe ubuntu
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> w0lfLisK:maybe try to find any errors in /var/log/ about your grafix card
[10:10] <Mattias> I tried to uninstall php-fpm a while ago, but it never removed the /etc/init.d/php5-fpm service, so I removed it manually. Now when I install php5-fpm again. It isn't creating the service file? Where can I find it again?
[10:11] <wOlfLisK> Is there a way to find that without rebooting to Ubuntu lotuspsychje?

[10:26] <Xeus> I'm trying to install ubuntu server and when I select the menu option to install it reboots the computer, any ideas?
[10:26] <yannick> amd64?
[10:26] <geirha> TorbenBeta: Ah wait, ls -l's total is size, not a count

[10:27] <Huge5> Hi, do someone have experience with chillispot, wifispot, or other hotspot solutions ?
[10:28] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, what are you saying?
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> Xeus:try the servergiud to install
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> *guide
[10:29] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, I don't think that will help me, I have installed it before with no problems, this is just a weird issue and wondering if anyone has encountered it before
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> Xeus: got any errors somewhere to define whats happening?
[10:29] <yannick> !patience
[10:29] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, the livecd boots up just fine, I select the menu option to install and then the computer just reboots
[10:30] <yannick> And I'm not a bot.
[10:30] <yannick> amd64 or x86 ?
[10:30] <jodycBarnett01> that's what she said - then he said... Get away from me you fembot & the gig was up
[10:31] <yannick> ok nice
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> Xeus: something like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105322/install-problem-ubuntu-server-10-04-with-usb-as-it-reboots-when-i-hit-enter
[10:31] <tking> hellow, guys, i connect my iphone to my puter but cant see all my files like pictures in the phone
[10:32] <yannick> !patience
[10:33] <maplesoft> how do i enter a jabber room in kopete?
[10:34] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, yeah kinda like that
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> Xeus:maybe try expert acpi=off before boot install
[10:36] <tking> how can i copy files to my iphone on ubuntun?
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> tking: i think you need a lib to install for iphone/ipad browsing
[10:37] <pangur> I have inadvertently deleted a directory with several sub-directories from my Desktop.  I only discovered this morning.
[10:37] <tking> lotuspsychje, what lib? any idea pls
[10:38] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, didn't work
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> Xeus: is it a livecd or usb?
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> !info gtkpod
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> tking:try this package
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> Xeus:amd cpu?
[10:40] <pangur> Is there a way of getting the data back via Ubuntu One?
[10:41] <hansz> suppose I have a long list, and I wish to create a new list of the same length which is somehow based on the values in the first list. Later I wish to work with the second list. One method is calculating it entirely and saving it, and another method is creating some iterator, which will do the calcs "real-time" when I will later work on that list.
[10:41] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, intel core 2 duo
[10:41] <hansz> Is there an option which is "better" in some sense?
[10:41] <tking> lotuspsychje, i hv installed it
[10:41] <lotuspsychje> Xeus: not sure then mate, can you try another media (cd or usb) to see if same error?
[10:42] <Xeus> lotuspsychje, yeah I guess I will, thanks
[10:42] <lotuspsychje> tking:libmobiledevice you also need to browse
[10:42] <lotuspsychje> !info libmobiledevice
[10:42] <maplesoft> how do i enter a jabber room in kopete?
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> Xeus: it would be handy if you could catch any errors, like pressing f1 when system reboots
[10:55] <fm__> all precise users could verify https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1025935 . is there somebody NOT seeing that regression?

[11:18] <rebecca> hi im having trouble trying to set a static ip address on ubuntu 12.0.4 to no avail. dhcp is all fine, and when i look at the network settings im unable to see eth0 or wired connection
[11:18] <tking> geirha, but it ends in a .csv file
[11:19] <tking> geirha,  how do i open it
[11:19] <tomatto> is postgresql-contrib-8.2 important for running system or can i remove it because of dist upgrade confict?
[11:19] <matland2> rebecca: ubuntu is weird about network interfaces, last time i had that trouble it worked for me to set static ip via the gui stuff supplied
[11:20] <tking> geirha, i tried to open it with archieve manager and it said could not open file
[11:20] <geirha> tking: Right click the file and select properties, what file type does it say?
[11:21] <tking> geirha, this is the Type shown CSV document (text/csv)
[11:21] <rebecca> @matland2 i've even tried to set vial /etc/network/interfaces - stopped and started the interface as well as rebooted the pc to no avail
[11:22] <geirha> tking: wget -qO- http://ad-upload.com/425/425.csv | file -   outputs   /dev/stdin: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract   here
[11:22] <matland2> hm somehow the ubuntu at here does list interfaces in ifconfig, yet i remember having the same trouble as you :-/ > rebecca
[11:22] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[11:22] <frotz47_> geirha and tking: that 425.cvs file is a Microsoft Excel file it should be named 425.xlsx
[11:23] <geirha> frotz47_: Ah xlsx are compressed archives? interesting
[11:23] <rebecca> matland2 did you manage to find a fix
[11:24] <frotz47_> geirha: yes all of the new Office files docx ppsx xlsx are in fact zip files
[11:24] <matland2> rebecca: i managed to set the static ip in the gui things that came with gnome somehow, so more a workaround than a fix
[11:25] <matland2> did you run ifconfig with -a option?
[11:25] <rebecca> matland2 what version of gnome are you using
[11:25] <tking> frotz47_, should i rename d file?
[11:25] <matland2> atm i have no desktop env running so could be that which made ifconfig work
[11:25] <TBarth> rebecca, already tried the network-manager?
[11:25] <matland2> this is another version of ubuntu than where i had the problem tho
[11:26] <frotz47_> tking: yes, yes you should. it is not a csv file.
[11:26] <maplesoft> is there a way to (a webclient hosted somewhere) to check my xmpp server connectivity. ?
[11:27] <auronandace> !xmpp | maplesoft
[11:27] <rebecca> TBarth yes I have to no avail cannot see wired connection or eth0
[11:27] <tking> frotz47_, thanks u are a genius how did u find this out pls? cos i hv one word document that wudn't open
[11:27] <matland2> is it in /dev? > rebecca
[11:28] <tking> frotz47_, just want to know how u check to find out real file type
[11:29] <livingdaylight> In 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.
[11:30]  * matland2 twitches and tries not to rant about comfort in unity
[11:30] <TBarth> rebecca, do you see blinking leds at your network interface?
[11:32] <rebecca> TBarth network interface is working only via dhcp cant assign a static ip address
[11:32] <matland2> does /dev/eth0 actually exist?
[11:32] <evdvelde> hi all, ubuntu on a btrfs filesystem takes ages to boot due to the fsck at boot time, is there a clean way to get rid of it? I found solutions disabling fsck always, but imo it should only be disabled when the filesystems are clean...
[11:34] <tomatto> i wanted to upgrade system from 11.10 to 12.04, but error while removing postgresql-8.2 from list...what can i do with it?
[11:35] <miaumiau> Hey, when I delete the settings for a specific desktop environment in the /home directory, will it default to the default settings?
[11:35] <miaumiau> or will it be broken?
[11:35] <matland2> miaumiau: if u deleet all of them it'll use default/global stuff
[11:36] <miaumiau> matland2: ok, thank you
[11:36] <matland2> if you delete em partly it might break, for gnome you mite too have to baleet .gconf or such
[11:36] <matland2> but i dont think you will
[11:37] <miaumiau> matland2: ok, I'll try it and make a backup beforehand, just in case ;-)
[11:37] <matland2> just rename em
[11:37] <rebecca> exit
[11:37] <jacta> anyone using the skype-wrapper?
[11:37] <matland2> if all breaks ctrl-alt-f1/f2 and fix it there
[11:37] <miaumiau> yeah, thanks matland2

[11:43] <livingdaylight> In 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] <matland_> livingdaylight: useing a better desktop environment :-p
[11:44] <livingdaylight> matland_, hahaha
[11:44] <livingdaylight> matland_, I thought Ubuntu was the best! or am I in the wrong room? :p
[11:45]  * matland_ hopes he won't get kicked but ubuntu sux
[11:45] <matland_> i wud not be here with my stupid questions if it was best :-p
[11:46] <livingdaylight> matland_, so, which do you recommend?
[11:46] <matland_> and ubuntu does not equals unity, right?
[11:46] <matland_> if you can live without taskbar and such i recommend matwm2
[11:46] <matland_> i wrote that one
[11:46] <livingdaylight> matland_, well, default Ubuntu does = Unity. Of course there is kubuntu, xubuntu etc....
[11:46] <matland_> if u want fancy gui xfce and kde are not too bad
[11:46] <jonsnow> yo dawgs
[11:47] <matland_> me made a custom session file for me on this ubuntu which just launches matwm
[11:47] <miaumiau> lubuntu is also there :-)
[11:47] <matland_> it is regular ubuntu but i do not run the gnome stuffs
[11:47] <miaumiau> enlightenment is also nice
[11:47] <livingdaylight> matland_,  not heard of matwm2 but, yes certainly want a gui-fied os
[11:48] <jonsnow> hey can someone help me with a basic linux command
[11:48] <jonsnow> pm me i will appreciate it
[11:48] <matland_> matwm is more for folks who come from other simple stuff like fluxbox or such
[11:48] <kyrix> jonsnow, just ask
[11:48] <matland_> desktop env kde 3.5 is the best
[11:48] <jonsnow> ok i need help with the install command
[11:49] <jonsnow> it always says that no such file exist and i specify it,but i guess its wrong
[11:49] <matland_> me still run that on my freebsd computers
[11:49] <jonsnow> my goal is to install netbeans
[11:49] <matland_> most linux these days is sadly not to easy about installing ye ole kde
[11:49] <livingdaylight> jonsnow, have you tried sudo apt-get install netbeans?
[11:49] <LordOfTime> jonsnow:  for what software?
[11:49] <jonsnow> livingdaylight, i havent
[11:50] <kyrix> jonsnow, have you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans
[11:50] <LordOfTime> livingdaylight:  that's not generally recommended... the repos is usually pretty out of date with netbeans
[11:50] <LordOfTime> jonsnow:  i'd recommend reading the link that kyrix just gave you
[11:50] <livingdaylight> jonsnow, that's the basic command for installing things. Not sure about netbeans
[11:50] <jonsnow> kyrix,  thats the first thing i will do
[11:50] <livingdaylight> matland_, I love the new kde look and feel
[11:50] <jonsnow> thanx guys
[11:50] <LordOfTime> livingdaylight:  read the link that kyrix gave jonsnow, that explains the better method
[11:50] <LordOfTime> jonsnow:  note you may need sun java...
[11:51] <kyrix> jonsnow, http://askubuntu.com/questions/75549/how-do-i-install-netbeans
[11:51] <LordOfTime> netbeans is sometimes picky
[11:51] <matland_> livingdaylight: i hate what they did to the taskbar and desktop, some other things have improved tho
[11:51] <matland_> at least they did not went down the drain totally like gnome
[11:51] <livingdaylight> matland_, you sound like a linux old-timer that doesnt' like the new things
[11:51] <matland_> i am
[11:51] <jonsnow> LordOfLight, why is the netbeans on ubuntu dl centre java only?
[11:52] <matland_> actually i use bsd most of the time
[11:52] <matland_> but same thing
[11:52] <matland_> bsd turns out to be a good choice actually as they are back in time together with me lol
[11:53] <jonsnow> what is the best solution for php development in ubuntu
[11:53] <maplesoft> how do i enter a jabber room in kopete?
[11:53] <infoclog> hi
[11:53] <kyrix> jonsnow, http://superuser.com/questions/204498/how-to-add-php-in-netbeans-on-ubuntu
[11:53] <matland_> openbsd still gives you fvwm as default :-)

[11:55] <jonsnow> kyrix  still learning the basics
[11:55] <matland_> i been using geany to write code last few weeks
[11:55] <jonsnow> isnt netbeans good enough lol
[11:55] <matland_> i use it for C but if it does php code just as well it shud be nice
[11:55] <jonsnow> can i turn on chat grammar nazi from the settings of the irc?
[11:57] <kyrix> jonsnow, maybe netbeans is good enough for you, or for others, who knows. there isn't a right answer to that one.
[11:57] <jonsnow> true
[11:57] <livingdaylight> is running Amarok in Ubuntu ok. Used to be it belonged with kde. Do those delineations still apply or are apps fairly cross-window-manager friendly?
[11:58] <matland_> they are fairly friendly, but you need a lot of kde libs for some of the applications
[11:58] <matland_> sometimes even daemons
[11:58] <jacta> I'm using Aptana :)

[11:59] <kristenbb> I am about to receive a new disk in approximatively 1 month. I will install ubuntu into it. However I would not like to wait, I need it right now. I can use another disk in the meantime, but I'll need to transfer the OS from the old disk to the new one. Is this process easy and error safe ? How to do it?
[12:00] <martini> kristenbb: use clonezilla
[12:00] <livingdaylight> kristaps, is post in your area really slow?
[12:01] <kristenbb> martini: how to use it exactly ? What size of partition should I use right now ?
[12:01] <kristaps> livingdaylight, what we are talking about?
[12:01] <livingdaylight> kriskropd, I am about to receive a new disk in approximatively 1 month
[12:02] <Pici> livingdaylight: you're really not doing well with the tab complete today....
[12:02] <martini> the best would be, if it is the same size it shall be later
[12:02] <jonsnow> i got the php plugin thank u very much
[12:02] <livingdaylight> Pici, yea, gonna give it a rest :)
[12:04] <jonsnow> another thing-i ran installation on apache
[12:04] <jonsnow> i cant see it as avaliable program...windows made me spoiled...
[12:05] <Pici> jonsnow: it may not be in the software center, as that is mostly focussed on 'end user' things.
[12:05] <Pici> jonsnow: Its still in the repositories though, see https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/httpd.html
[12:05] <jonsnow> Pici,  do i have to use terminal to start its services?
[12:06] <jonsnow> i installed it from the dl centre
[12:06] <Pici> jonsnow: They should be started by default.
[12:06] <jonsnow> Pici,  by any chance do you know where is the "htdocs" ?
[12:06] <Pici> jonsnow: /var/www/, also take a look at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[12:07] <stef1a> i am using 12.04 and have an AMD Radeon gfx card. With FGLRX installed, my second monitor (dual monitoring) does not have the option to display at the exact proper resolution. How can I fix this/manually change the resolution?
[12:07] <jonsnow> Pici, will i have permission to acces var
[12:08] <jonsnow> no i dont :D
[12:08] <Pici> jonsnow: read, yes. Write, probably not. You'll need to either use sudo or add yourself to www-data
[12:08] <jonsnow> can someone link me how to give permissions,thats big part of linux
[12:08] <jonsnow> Pici, ok open terminal,type sudo,that'll do the trick right?
[12:08] <Pici> !sudo | jonsnow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions and

[12:20] <jonsnow> geirha, it has

[12:20] <miaumiau> some desktop managers have it integrated, for example enlightenment has a cpu throttle thing that also displays temperature

[12:24] <jonsnow> os
[12:24] <jonsnow> geirha,  i ment os
[12:24] <azei> hello anyone  there ?
[12:24] <geirha> jonsnow: ubuntu-desktop is an "empty" package that just depends on alot of other packages, such as gnome-packages, unity, lightdm etc
[12:25] <azei> i would like to call an aapplication
[12:25] <jonsnow> geirha, so its safe to install right
[12:25] <InstantKrimson> azei: sudo apt-get install "name-of-application"
[12:25] <martini> panz: in etc/apt/sources.list
[12:25] <azei> don't hurry up listen InstantKrimson
[12:25] <geirha> jonsnow: Yes
[12:25] <azei> i would like to call an application when you open a terminal
[12:25] <azei> how to do ?
[12:26] <azei> i mean
[12:26] <jonsnow> geirha, ps when i type sudo in the terminal,what weight does that have
[12:26] <azei> when you open the terminal i would like to run a terminal appplication
[12:26] <azei> how oto  do ?
[12:27] <geirha> jonsnow: Only the root user can install packages. sudo allows you to run commands as root, granted you are a member of the admin group and you authenticate yourself again.
[12:27] <miaumiau> matland_: It seems to have worked, I had to wait a bit to try because I was installing and updating lubuntu and wanted to get rid of the old settings from when the desktop environment was i#nstalled atop of regular Ubuntu.
[12:27] <matland_> great
[12:28] <jonsnow> geirha, when i type sudo can i copy paste folders into restricted areas
[12:28] <miaumiau> yup, I'm happy now :-)
[12:28] <unalank> slm
[12:28] <bieb> what is the easiest way to create 10 users that are exactly the same? I need to create labuser1, labuser2, etc.. all passwords will be the same..
[12:28] <jonsnow> geirha, for example i tried to copy something to the restricted area otc
[12:28] <unalank> türk var mı :D
[12:28] <InstantKrimson> Azei: I don't understand what you mean... could you try to clarify what you mean?
[12:29] <DJones> !tr | unalank
[12:29] <geirha> jonsnow: Yes sudo will allow you to copy files to place you otherwise don't have write access to, but be careful
[12:29] <geirha> *places
[12:29] <jonsnow> geirha, ps what is the purpose of this chatroom?
[12:30] <geirha> jonsnow: To help, or get help with, using Ubuntu
[12:31] <panz> thanks
[12:31] <martini> bieb:adduser and maybe a little shellscript
[12:31] <azei> when you open a terminal i would like the terminal application for example "cal" open at the sametime InstantKrimson
[12:31] <azei> how to do ?
[12:31] <martini> panz:bitteschön
[12:31] <jonsnow> geirha, where are you from

[12:46] <DJones> MoBstaP: How are you testing if the outside can see your server?
[12:47] <epzil0n> what's the recommended specs for running ubuntu and is it considered to be lighter with gnome shell?
[12:47] <jonsnow> where is the phpmyadmin folder
[12:47] <martini> jonsnow: in the directory should be an config.inc.php. there you must set it. and maybe the path
[12:47] <jonsnow> martian_, where shall i search for it,a bit new to ubuntu file system
[12:48] <DJones> MoBstaP: If its from inside the local network, some routers don't let connect using the external web address, may be worth using http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to see if that can see the website just to rule that out

[12:54] <ccc> Hello
[12:54] <ccc> I'm looking for information about my LCD's brightness
[12:55] <addddddd> I have a problem with a bootable USB drive with ubuntu. Recorded by ultraiso \ unetbootin \. He writes: start booting from usb device
[12:55] <w3bg33k> what's the best way to stress test a virtual linux server (ubuntu 10.04) so that I can see how the mysql DB holds up?
[12:55] <ccc> I'd like to configure it in order to have the brightness at its max when booting on my computer
[12:55] <addddddd> nothing more
[12:55] <martini> s_kthi: maybe it's your graphics card? try to turn effect down or use another windowmanager
[12:56] <s_kthi> martini: I use nvidia ge force card with recommended drivers.
[12:56] <ccc> Any idea ?
[12:57] <saladin> !linuxmint

[12:58] <turgon> Hello. apt-get update is generating the same errors. I pasted them here: http://pastebin.com/nXuA52qL
[12:58] <turgon> Anyone knows what's the reason behind it? :) ty ^^
[12:59] <martini> ccc: maybe edit the Xserver
[12:59] <ccc> martini: ok, I'm trying
[13:00] <s_kthi> martini: I use nvidia ge force card with recommended drivers.  I am novice user. How do i change to another windowmanager?.
[13:00] <addddddd> Start booting from USB device.......................
[13:02] <ccc> matrini: I'm sorry but where's xorg.conf ? I've not changed it for years !
[13:02] <martini> turgon:i'm not sure but i believe, it should not say http:ppa.launch... but ppa.launch...
[13:02] <s_kthi> Hi.compiz frequently crashes in ubuntu 12.04. Help !.
[13:03] <martini> ccc: it's in etc/X11
[13:03] <turgon> martini, thanks for the reply. Should i edit something in the source.list file or somewhere else? :)
[13:06] <L3top> what version ubuntu
[13:06] <L3top> ccc: what version ubuntu?
[13:06] <ccc> L3top, 12.04. I think there's no xorg.conf anymore. Am I wrong ?
[13:07] <martini> turgon: i don't think so. try apt-get update and look for errors
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> !xorgconf| ccc
[13:08] <ccc> MonkeyDust, thanks
[13:08] <turgon> martini, well, doing update there are packages that are downloaded, yet upon completion, i get a bzip2 error like this: http://pastebin.com/0dK2FKaf
[13:08] <ccc> Don't you think there's an easier way to configure brightness ?
[13:08] <s_kthi> Hi.compiz frequently crashes in ubuntu 12.04. Help !.
[13:08] <rocki34> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu as a VM. How do I get my wireless card recognized? I'm using VBox.
[13:09] <turgon> s_kthi, did u change smthing in the cnofiguration? did u use ccms?
[13:09] <turgon> rocki34, use NAT with host. Set the configuration before launching the client.
[13:09] <s_kthi> turgon: I am novice user. To my knowledge I didn't change anything.
[13:10] <turgon> s_kthi, is that the first time u use ubuntu? did u get the problems directly after a fresh install? :)
[13:10] <rocki34> turgon: Will I be able to use the wireless card with the host OS and guest?
[13:10] <L3top> correct 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.conf
[13:10] <martini> s_kthi: are you sure it's compiz that is causing problems?
[13:11] <alaa_> piotr
[13:11] <turgon> alaa_, eh bro ;)
[13:11] <ccc> L3top, ok, I just hope it won't crash my X server !
[13:11] <turgon> rocki34, normally yes. u share ur internet between ur host and guest
[13:12] <s_kthi> turgon: yes bcoz the error says compiz stopped suddently. and it directs to ubuntu forums or ask ubuntu for help.
[13:12] <martini> turgon: this might help http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/troublefaq.html#prob-bzip2
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> rocki34  if NAT don't work, try bridged
[13:12] <L3top> ccc: if you read closer... you will have to CLOSE your X session for that to create
[13:13] <rocki34> monkeydust: Yeah, my wlan0 interface pops up on the bridged adapter setting.
[13:13] <rocki34> monkeydust: Doesn't for the NAT.
[13:14] <ccc> L3top, I know, but last time I ran a "Xorg -configure" on a computer, Xorg could not start anymore
[13:14] <fatfreddyscat> hello everyone. I am using Ubuntu Classic (No effects) on a netbook with 12.04. I have two related problems. (1) I cannot disable auto-maximise and it is driving me crazy and (2) maximised windows do not have a close or unmaximise button.
[13:14] <martini> have to go, by people
[13:15] <fatfreddyscat> I have already set values in gconf for metacity but they seem to have no effect - windows still auto maximise
[13:15] <rocki34> monkeydust: What should I set as my adapter-type? There are a few options and I have no clue what they all mean.
[13:15] <fatfreddyscat> and once maximised there are no buttons to close ur un-maximise and 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. I need to fix this.
[13:16] <fatfreddyscat> do any of you have a suggession?

[13:27] <ccc> Thanks for the help !
[13:27] <sipior> BluesKaj: is the machine having a problem shutting down cleanly? if the disks are marked as "dirty" when unmounted, they'll be fscked again at boot.
[13:28] <Topher82> ok 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 found
[13:28] <Topher82> if this something I need to do with partitioning for the SSD to fix this? or is this something with the OS?
[13:29] <compdoc> Topher82, you do have to enable trim in fstab, but it should work until you do
[13:29] <BluesKaj> sipior, 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] <compdoc> Topher82, hoe old is the motherboard?
[13:30] <compdoc> how
[13:30] <sipior> BluesKaj: what happens if you bring down one of the affected volumes and run fsck manually?
[13:31] <BluesKaj> sipior I did fsck manually on all the affected disks , no errors reported
[13:32] <BluesKaj> perhaps a total shutdown is in order then , sipior ...it's the one action I haven't tried yet
[13:32] <sipior> BluesKaj: anything interesting in dmesg when the volumes are mounted.
[13:33] <p1l0t> Having a read-only file system error.. think this old hard drive is dying. Running Disk Utility now in extended mode but I have a feeling the next time a reboot its going to have problems coming up.
[13:33] <bhagatsr> hii folks, i am getting weird icon while grub and initial boot screen , it shows" Hz? " only
[13:33] <sipior> BluesKaj: that really shouldn't make a difference
[13:33] <sipior> BluesKaj: sometimes voodoo works, of course :-)
[13:34] <hatchetjack> just did some updates and now gnome-settings-deamon is comsuming lots of cpu
[13:34] <p1l0t> Is there a way to remount the file-system as not read-only so I can at least copy the contents of the harddrive onto another drive with sudo?
[13:34] <hatchetjack> any ideas?
[13:34] <bhagatsr> anybody?
[13:34] <bhagatsr> any idea?
[13:35] <p1l0t> Lots of questions no answers today I guess. Except VooDoo..
[13:36] <sipior> p1l0t: giving people more than a couple minutes to respond to your question is really the bare minimum of courtesy on this channel. drama will get you nowhere.
[13:36] <matland_> what is the daemon with newest ubuntu version that does the showing notification "bubbles" with pidgin
[13:36] <p1l0t> sipior: I was responding to bhagatsr actually
[13:37] <sipior> p1l0t: it scarcely matters.
[13:37] <BluesKaj> sipior, not using a voodoo card , I'll stick with my old gt7600
[13:37] <p1l0t> sipior: Well for context I guess
[13:37] <BluesKaj> :)
[13:37] <L3top> bhagatsr: that sounds like your monitor not grub/boot.
[13:37] <L3top> Placing a little icon once signal is received.
[13:38] <p1l0t> sipior: I know its volunteers here I love you guys don't think I'm ungreatful
[13:38] <bhagatsr> ya its my monitor but it should show me grub, which works when non ubuntu based distro shows perfectly
[13:39] <Topher82> ok sorry trying to TS this while at work. @compdoc no I set / to use the entire disk and no swap partition. it's an acer aspire 3820T like 3 years old tops
[13:39] <Topher82> core i3, 4GB DDR3 ram
[13:39] <Topher82> installed using noapci
[13:39] <compdoc> you need noapci for video problems?
[13:40] <Topher82> yea it won't boot without it.
[13:40] <Topher82> always happens even before the SSD
[13:40] <L3top> bhagatsr: the way you described it it seemed to be a new problem. Can we ignore what we know has nothing to do with ubuntu then and describe your actual problem?<bhagatsr> hii folks, i am getting weird icon while grub and initial boot screen , it shows" Hz? " only
[13:40] <Topher82> so fstab
[13:40] <Topher82> is that something I  do during install or on first boot?
[13:40] <L3top> How could I possibly troubleshoot that?
[13:42] <compdoc> sorry to say, it sounds like a flaky ssd drive. I have had issues with older ssd drives that got attached to 6G sata 3 ports, but you probably only have one port to choose from
[13:42] <bhagatsr> l3top: this problem only shows when i install ubuntu  >10.10    or other distros based on ubuntu >10.10
[13:42] <Topher82> it's an ocz agility 3
[13:42] <L3top> Topher82: do you have a non SSD drive to test that theory on?
[13:43] <L3top> !details | bhagatsr I am not sure what your problem is yet...
[13:43] <tanto> how long does it take for http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/irssi-plugin-silc to show up in ubuntu 12 ?
[13:44] <compdoc> Topher8, be sure to update the sdd'd firmware. I own 3 Ocz drives, and they released an update that fixes a lot of things for all of them.
[13:44] <bhagatsr> if it works on other distros it should work on ubuntu, can u explain me how to change video resolution n freq for grub
[13:44] <compdoc> *ssd's firware
[13:44] <iceroot> tanto: if it is not there at the moment it will never reach 12.04
[13:44] <tanto> really??!
[13:44] <tanto> that's unfortunate
[13:44] <iceroot> tanto: there are no changes to a stable-release
[13:45] <Topher82> oo ooo thank you that was my other question
[13:45] <tanto> hrm why did it get removed
[13:45] <bipul> HOw to open port 4444
[13:45] <L3top> No bhagatsr, I cannot... because you aren't giving me any information to go on... You are just trolling it seems.
[13:45] <Topher82> if I can boot to a live thumbdrive can I flash the firmware from linux or do I have to try to install windows on here just to flash the SSD?
[13:45] <compdoc> Topher82, if there is an option in the bios, be sure to set the sata port to use AHCI
[13:45] <iceroot> tanto: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-silc-devel/2012-January/000545.html
[13:46] <iceroot> tanto: debian removed it, not ubuntu, ubuntu ois just syncing from debian there
[13:46] <Topher82> yea that was the first thing I did ^_^
[13:46] <p1l0t> If the harddrive remounts itself as read-only how to I go back to write mode?
[13:46] <compdoc> Topher82, there is an iso you can d/l from OCZ that you boot from
[13:46] <Topher82> SWEET!!!
[13:46] <iceroot> tanto: > # > This release critical bug will prevent the package from being part of
[13:46] <iceroot> > # > wheezy until someone step up to maintain silc-client.
[13:46] <tanto> silc-client != irssi-silc-plugin
[13:46] <Topher82> thank you again so much. I'm logging out for now I'll be back after work :)
[13:46] <iceroot> tanto: there is nbo maintainer for that anymore
[13:47] <L3top> p1l0t: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
[13:47] <tanto> hrm
[13:47] <tanto> well that sucks.
[13:47] <iceroot> tanto: but irssi-silc-plugin is coming from that source-package and the devel-package
[13:47] <p1l0t> L3top: thanks :)
[13:47] <L3top> tanto check launchpad. There is probably a ppa
[13:47] <iceroot> tanto: so we cant help you with that, its an debian issue, sorry
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> tanto  but be careful with ppas
[13:48] <tanto> didn't realize it was pulled from wheezy
[13:48] <L3top> !ppa | tanto
[13:48] <tanto> i have debian 6 and it was in there, i was like why the heck did ubuntu pull it
[13:48] <bhagatsr> I have some issues related to video resolution/frequency while GRUB menu and boot screen. how to change these settings
[13:48] <tanto> what's involved with maintaining packages
[13:48] <tanto> i need my irssi silc plugin :)
[13:51] <BluesKaj> sipior, when i run the " tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sda3" (this drive partition) i get this and it's the first time I've seen this , "tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda3 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[13:53] <sipior> BluesKaj: ick. can you mount it using the "sb=…" flag?
[13:53] <augustl> now that xubuntu is dead, how do I get the awesome xubuntu looks on xfce4 in ubuntu?
[13:53] <bhagatsr> L3top: did u get my problem now?
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> BluesKaj  i sometimes have to use this, to mount an external usb drive, maybe it helps for you, too    /sbin/tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/sda3
[13:54] <h0mie> is this the year of the Linux Desktop?
[13:54] <L3top> !details | bhagatsr
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> h0mie  ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[13:55] <p1l0t> I know we don't recommend brand x over brand y or anything like that but where could a find a list of ubuntu friendly hardware?
[13:55] <L3top> bhagatsr: What version are you trying to install... Does the live CD work?
[13:56] <LjL> !hardware | p1l0t, might be outdated (was last time i checked it)
[13:56] <p1l0t> LjL: Excellent thanks
[13:56] <L3top> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ h0mie
[13:56] <L3top> er misfire... sorry h0mie.
[13:56] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust,n the drive mounts ok , but fsck runs everytime ai boot in . I was trying to defeat the constant fsck
[13:57] <bhagatsr> live cd works, but when i install there is some high frequency(refresh rate) signal while grub menu is displayed
[13:57] <bhagatsr> *after installing
[13:57] <L3top> What frequency bhagatsr?
[13:57] <L3top> 120?
[13:57] <mikecraft> if I want to play games, mainly minecraft, which nvidia driver do I want?
[13:57] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust, what I meant to say was the drive boots ok
[13:58] <L3top> bhagatsr: how are you connecting, and to what sort of monitor? (hdmi, vga, dvi)
[13:58] <bhagatsr> i have old crt syncmaster so it shows "Hz?"
[13:58] <L3top> bhagatsr: then why do you assume the frequency is too high?
[13:59] <L3top> bhagatsr: on the back of the monitor does it list its frequency range?
[14:00] <bhagatsr> wait i'll check
[14:00] <miaumiau> bhagatsr: you can also find it in the manual and by googling the type
[14:00] <BluesKaj> mikecraft, use the nvidia recommended driver
[14:00] <bhagatsr> is 50-60 Hz
[14:02] <L3top> bhagatsr: that makes little to no sense to me I am afraid. That is a very normal range, and frankly I have never heard of grub being whacked by sync. I suspect something else is going wrong and your CRT is guessing the hz is wrong... but I am just guessing. Give me a moment.
[14:03] <L3top> bhagatsr: check this out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/grub-2-display-problem-882779/
[14:03] <miaumiau> L3top: 50/60 Hz on the back, I have a crt here too, it can do up to 120 Hz and on the backside it says 50/60 hz too, but meaning the power supply
[14:03] <BluesKaj> mikeey, alt+f2 , type , jockey , the wizard will search for the nvidia drivers , the nvidia-current is the one to choose
[14:04] <bhagatsr> L3top: and i have observed this behavior on ubuntu or its derivatives only
[14:04] <bhagatsr> miaumiau: right :)
[14:04] <L3top> bhagatsr: I am guessing anything running grub2
[14:05] <BluesKaj> mikeey, sorry the tab filled in your nick , I guess the other mike left
[14:05] <bhagatsr> maybe
[14:05] <bhagatsr> i tried latest suse, fedora it didnt give any probs
[14:06] <bhagatsr> i an currently using mint
[14:06] <L3top> bhagatsr: I don't know what grub other distros are using. Check the link I gave you for a solution.
[14:06] <bhagatsr> thanks for link, i'll check it out
[14:08] <L3top> (for the record, while unsupported in this channel, mint is a buntu derivative bhagatsr)
[14:10] <bhagatsr> i know thats why i raised the issue, mint is also giving me probs, this issue is solved in the given link , thank you
[14:12] <bhagatsr> going to check whether it worked
[14:15] <qbitza> Weird one here - can dig host, can dig host.domain, can ping host, can not ping host.domain - ideas?
[14:15] <rocki34> Is it literally not possible to install aircrack-ng on Ubuntu anymore? Even if I compile from source?
[14:15] <mi3> !ping
[14:15] <M4rc3l> pong!
[14:16] <Pici> qbitza: qbitza perhaps host.domain is blocking imcp packets.
[14:16] <Pici> qbitza: *icmp
[14:16] <qbitza> Pici, no it's all the same host
[14:17] <L3top> rocki34: it is possible, but not supported here I don't think.
[14:17] <L3top> Someone feel free to correct me.
[14:17] <qbitza> It mist be something to do with the DNS, but the fact that both long and short forms resolve using dig, is throwing me
[14:18] <imbezol> qbitza: are host and host.domain resolving to the same ip?
[14:18] <qbitza> Yes
[14:18] <imbezol> qbitza: when you ping them, it should show the ip.. is it the same?
[14:18] <rocki34> l3top: I'm getting errors every time I try the 'make' command while in the aircrack dir.
[14:18] <imbezol> qbitza: sometimes ping and dig will not resolve the address the same
[14:19] <qbitza> imbezol, ping says it can't resolve the host
[14:19] <qbitza> imbezol, but dig resolves both to the same IP
[14:19] <L3top> rocki34: I understand.
[14:19] <imbezol> qbitza: i think ping tries to use things like /etc/hosts whereas dig does not
[14:20] <L3top> imbezol: I would think /etc/resolv.conf
[14:20] <L3top> However that file can no longer be edited directly.
[14:20] <imbezol> qbitza: the search order is defined in /etc/host.conf
[14:21] <imbezol> qbitza: or used to be.. the comment in the file seems to suggest it's not used anymore
[14:23] <imbezol> qbitza: but either way.. when you use dig, are you telling it which dns server to use?
[14:26]  * L3top finds DNS additions now work if added to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base... this will update /etc/resolv.conf with the new information.
[14:26]  * L3top wonders why if ubuntu wants us to use the resolvconf tool it is not installed btw...
[14:26] <qbitza> imbezol, yes, I am
[14:27] <qbitza> imbezol, also resolv.conf seems to think my DNS server 127.0.0.1?
[14:28] <L3top> qbitza: follow my comment above w regard to changing DNS. Simply editing resolv.conf will be overwritten every boot.
[14:28] <kanupatar> hi guys , while installing one LTIB in ubuntu 12.04 , I am getting this error, rpmdb: --force-debian: unknown option , any clues or ideas?
[14:28] <BluesKaj> L3top, or ad them to /etc/network/interfaces
[14:28] <bekks> kanupatar: What is a "LTIB"?
[14:29] <BluesKaj> add
[14:29] <kanupatar> Linux Target Image Builder
[14:29] <L3top> kanupatar: how are you trying to install LTIB?
[14:29] <kanupatar> L3top: one script ltib
[14:29] <L3top> BluesKaj: won't that break Network Manager?
[14:30] <L3top> kanupatar: then it is likely you will have to look at the script which is trying to use an option --force-debian that is not supported :)
[14:30] <BluesKaj> L3top, don't think so
[14:30] <kevinlu310> How can I have a disk partition mounted permanently?
[14:30]  * L3top gives BluesKaj the Spock eyebrow
[14:30] <imbezol> qbitza: sounds like you know what the problem is.. your dns servers are not set correctly
[14:30] <BluesKaj> L3top, you could check , I don't use network manager
[14:31] <sigmundk_> kevinlu310, edit /etc/fstab.
[14:31] <L3top> kevinlu310: You could make an entry into fstab
[14:31] <kanupatar> L3top: $cf->{sudo} $cf->{rpm} --root $cf->{rpmroot} --dbpath $cf->{rpmdb} --initdb
[14:31] <redscare> if i want to stop a service from starting up at startup, should I do 'update-rc.d SERVICENAME disable" or 'update-rc.d SERVICENAME -f remove'?
[14:31] <circlicious> i am trying to understand something. init is a program that executes /etc/inittab script which in turn executes /etc/init.d/* that runs multiple processes like apache, etc. ?
[14:31] <qbitza> imbezol, which is weird, cause under Network connections my DNS is set to the same one I used to query using dig
[14:32] <kevinlu310> L3top: Thanks. How can I do that?
[14:32] <sigmundk_> kevinlu310, be mindful. Take a backup.
[14:32] <circlicious> am i right?
[14:32] <qbitza> L3top, nope modifying /etc/resolv.conf makes no difference
[14:32] <kevinlu310> sigmundk: OK.
[14:32] <imbezol> qbitza: do you get dhcp?
[14:32] <auronandace> !init | circlicious
[14:32] <sigmundk_> kevinlu310, ask and you shall receive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[14:33] <circlicious> auronandace: no ia m just trying to ge tthe idea, was i right?
[14:33] <qbitza> imbezol, Yes, I can - but this machine is supposed to have a static IP
[14:33] <L3top> qbitza: that is what I said. You CANNOT do that.
[14:33] <L3top> qbitza: -*- L3top finds DNS additions now work if added to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base... this will update /etc/resolv.conf with the new information.
[14:33] <qbitza> L3top, I tried anyway - but it seems it has no effect
[14:33] <kanupatar> L3top: did you notice the line i pasted in from the script who caused the issue?
[14:33] <L3top> that
[14:33] <Resinator> hey
[14:34] <auronandace> circlicious: oh sorry, i'm not familiar with the boot process, i only know that ubuntu uses upstart
[14:34] <imbezol> qbitza: i can't even remember how i have this one set up. i hate that gui network manager
[14:34] <auronandace> !upstart | circlicious
[14:34] <qbitza> imbezol, Yeah me too, but thought I'll give it a whirrr
[14:34] <_val_> Hey guys. Runing ubuntu 12.04LTS. When the server shuts down abonormally and restarts, it shows grub and requires for intervention by user. How do I skip this step.
[14:34] <L3top> kanupatar: Your script needs to be modified. This is not really an ubuntu support issue.
[14:34] <Resinator> i downloaded/burned ubuntu a while ago and i'm trying to install it but it keeps freezing up while booting from the cd
[14:34] <imbezol> qbitza: like i want to check how it's configured for ya right now.. but it won't open
[14:35] <Resinator> it never makes it past the initial loading screen
[14:35] <imbezol> qbitza: Connection Information and Edit Connections do nothing
[14:35] <kanupatar> L3top: what changes i need to do?
[14:35] <qbitza> Seems we 're going back to good old /etc/network/interfaces
[14:35] <kanupatar> L3top: why --force-debian is not supported?
[14:35] <qbitza> Just a Q though - is 12.04 bundling some sort of DNS cahce?
[14:35] <L3top> I don't have any idea kanupatar. And this is not an Ubuntu issue. Contact whomever maintains that source code/script
[14:35] <imbezol> qbitza: probably your best bet. that way it starts the interfaces without the gui up too
[14:36] <qbitza> k, let me try that
[14:36] <qbitza> Thanks guys
[14:36] <imbezol> qbitza: is bind or named running?
[14:36] <imbezol> qbitza: otherwise, probably not
[14:36] <kanupatar> L3top: hi dear , why --force-debian is not supported in ubuntu 12.04 and safely it runs in ubuntu 9.04
[14:36] <L3top> kanupatar: clearly it has been depreciated.
[14:36] <qbitza> imbezol, no... but dnsmasq is!
[14:37] <auronandace> !wfm | kanupatar
[14:37] <imbezol> qbitza: oh really? weird
[14:37] <Resinator> any ideas here?
[14:37] <qbitza> imbezol, I did not install it, must be part of the default install...
[14:37] <imbezol> qbitza: still on 11.04 here as it's a work laptop and i can't have the gui messed up
[14:38] <L3top> Resinator: have you checked the md5sum of the image you are burning?
[14:38] <kanupatar> L3top: please have a look at here in the script, may i know if I can remove these option from it?     $hrpm                = system('rpm --force-debian 2>/dev/null') == 0 ? 2390                                   'rpm --force-debian' : 'rpm';
[14:38] <Resinator> no
[14:38] <qbitza> imbezol, I've played with dnsmasq before - I'll see if I can tweak anything
[14:38] <Resinator> i just burned the iso, tried to boot from it, and during the initial loading screen it freezes
[14:39] <imbezol> qbitza: yeah me too.. but on a server that was a network router
[14:39] <qbitza> imbezol, exactly
[14:39] <L3top> kanupatar: This looks like you are trying to install an rpm in ubuntu, which is an alien thing. For the third time. This is not an ubuntu issue.
[14:39] <L3top> Not supported.
[14:40] <qbitza> imbezol, great! one entry: server=<local dns ip>
[14:40] <kanupatar> L3top: this was successful in ubuntu 9.04
[14:40] <auronandace> kanupatar: things change
[14:41] <auronandace> kanupatar: as L3top suggested contact the script maker
[14:41] <kanupatar> auronandace: how it supported installing rpm in 9.04 and why not in 12.04 ?
[14:41] <Jacruth> Hello, how could I set acpi=off forever?
[14:41] <kanupatar> auronandace: what i need to tell him?
[14:41] <L3top> !alien
[14:41] <auronandace> kanupatar: i didn't say installing rpms work in 9.04
[14:42] <imbezol> kanupatar: what version of rpm do you have? "rpm --version"
[14:42] <rocki34> Is it literally impossible to install aircrack on ubuntu? Even if compiling from source
[14:42] <Resinator> so how can i get this thing to install?
[14:42] <compdoc> Jacruth, its an option that goes in the grub config, then you have to update grub to enable
[14:42] <Jacruth> uhm, googling it.
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Resinator, get the apt/ubuntu version
[14:43] <Resinator> how do i get that
[14:43] <L3top> the problem is with LTIB kanupatar http://imxcommunity.org/forum/topics/rpmdb-force-debian-unknown-option-error-using-ltib-9-1-1-on
[14:43] <BluesKaj> look in the package manager
[14:43] <BluesKaj> Resinator,^
[14:43] <Resinator> package manager?
[14:43] <Dako300> hello
[14:44] <Resinator> is that something in linux, because im running windows 7 right now
[14:44] <BluesKaj> !dpkg > Resinator
[14:44] <auronandace> !software | Resinator
[14:45] <Dako300> I am having some modem trouble in ubuntu 12.04
[14:45] <Resinator> how will this help me get the cd-rom to work
[14:45] <L3top> I believe Resinator is unable to boot the install cd... for those of you playing along at home.
[14:45] <Resinator> yes
[14:46] <Dako300> when connect my USB cable modem to the computer i cant use
[14:46] <Dako300> it
[14:46] <Resinator> i burned the install cd, tried to boot from it, it acts like its loading for about a minute or so, then all the dots turn orange and it just stops
[14:46] <L3top> !md5sum | Resinator
[14:46] <_val_> Hey guys. Runing ubuntu 12.04LTS. When the server shuts down abonormally and restarts, it shows grub and requires for intervention by user. How do I skip this step.
[14:46] <_val_> Thanks in advance
[14:47] <Dako300> When i connect my modem directly into the computer via USb it will not detect it
[14:47] <compdoc> _val_, it should count down and boot after a certain time
[14:48] <Resinator> brb i gotta go get the disc out of my laptop
[14:48] <auronandace> !modem | Dako300
[14:48] <L3top> I haven't run into that _val_.
[14:48] <Dako300> no it is a cable modem
[14:48] <_val_> compdoc: I've looked at timeout
[14:48] <_val_> if [ recordfail = 1 ]; then.. blabla
[14:48] <Dako300> the cable modem is connected to the computer via USB
[14:49] <Dako300> FYI: i am running ubuntu server
[14:49] <_val_> L3top: this is a server which is on a data center.. so I can't travel 200KM to press enter to skip grub
[14:50] <L3top> Oh I fully understand the problem _val_. I would show up with an axe.... I am just trying to look through grub options for something that will force it to do... what it is already supposed to do...
[14:50] <Dako300> if i try ifdown eth2 it disconnects but when i try ifup eth2 it stalls and it says an error
[14:50] <L3top> Dako300: Does lsusb reveal the device?
[14:51] <_val_> L3top: yes, I've googled some tutorials.. but not much help.
[14:51] <Dako300> hold on...
[14:51] <Dako300> no
[14:52] <L3top> Dako300: It is not linux compatable then. I mean... if the bus cannot see it... it simply will not exist. Do you not have an ethernet port on this thing?
[14:52] <Dako300> yes
[14:52] <L3top> Dako300: get where I am going from here? :)
[14:52] <Dako300> yes i am and hold on
[14:52] <Dako300> i am gonna try and connect it
[14:54] <qbitza> imbezol, http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ sheds some light on what's potting here
[14:55] <qbitza> Cheers!
[14:56] <Dako3000> im back and it still wont work
[14:56] <L3top> Dako300: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[14:56] <Dako3000> 12.04 LTS
[14:56] <Dako3000> Linux 3.4.4
[14:57] <L3top> what does ifconfig reveal Dako300?
[14:57] <hex__> Hey, so far I'm loving Ubuntu but there is one thing that's bothering me, the fancy window effects. In the older versions of Ubuntu I was able to disable them easily but in the latest one I can't. Any ideas?
[14:57] <hex__> Rather, I can't find the option to disable them
[14:57] <auronandace> Dako300: why the newer kernel?
[14:58] <Dako3000> it was avalible
[14:58] <Dako3000> but the kernel is self-compiled and it works perfeltly
[14:58] <auronandace> Dako3000: it isn't supported, just so you know
[14:58] <Dako3000> that makes sense...
[14:59] <Dako3000> It isnt supported as in the driver isnt or its impossible to get it to work
[14:59] <L3top> hex__: 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] <p1l0t> So my main hardrive is read-only and I can't remount because I can't sudo.. I know if I reboot its not going to be worse situation
[14:59] <auronandace> Dako3000: as in if you ask for help here and have a custom kernel we can't help
[14:59] <kanupatar> L3top: any help?
[14:59] <Resinator> ok im on the computer with the iso file, could i get that link to the md5sum app for windows again?
[15:00] <Dako300> ok then
[15:00] <L3top> why can't you sudo p1l0t?
[15:00] <hex__> Thank you, L3top.
[15:00] <p1l0t> L3top: Think my hard drive is going bad, when I try to sudo it says "sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/p1l0t/3: Read-only file system"
[15:01] <L3top> kanupatar: for the fourth time. What youa re doing is unsupported. This is a support channel. I gave you a link with a patch from the maintainer of the package because I am nice, but please stop asking me to help beyond that.
[15:01] <auronandace> L3top: just so you are aware using compiz settings manager can break unity
[15:02] <L3top> p1l0t: I would boot to live disk and run fsck -f /dev/sdXY   where x is the drive and y is the partition.
[15:02] <p1l0t> L3top: Yeah I was hoping to do this without rebooting.. but I guess no choice right?
[15:02] <L3top> I did not know that auronandace. I should not advise that at all in that case... I am on kde... sorry. hex__ do not go straight for compiz setting manager.
[15:03] <hex__> Ok
[15:03] <tjingboem> what package do i need to install a .deb file?
[15:03] <auronandace> tjingboem: what are you trying to install?
[15:04] <auronandace> !software | tjingboem
[15:04] <tjingboem> tuxboot
[15:04] <L3top> tjingboem: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb    though usually you should stick to the repositories using apt-get
[15:04] <brontosaurusrex> dpkg, tjingboem
[15:04] <tjingboem> thank you people, i will try and hope all goes well :)
[15:05] <Resinator> okay i need the original md5 to verify its the same
[15:05] <Resinator> for ubuntu 12.04
[15:05] <drag0nius> whats some nice pseudo-gui traffic monitor for ubuntu server?
[15:05] <drag0nius> used some, but dont remember name
[15:05] <auronandace> tjingboem: just so you know, using software outside the repos can cause dependency issues
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> drag0nius  lsof -i
[15:06] <drag0nius> i mean network traffic
[15:06] <Ziber> How much of a pita will it be to extend the HD space of my ubuntu install? I currently am dual-booting win7 and 12.04 but i want to move to ubuntu as my primary OS.
[15:07] <auronandace> Ziber: depends on your partition layout
[15:07] <L3top> Resinator: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS
[15:07] <auronandace> Ziber: should be easy though, requires a livecd
[15:07] <Ziber> auronandace: Well, ubuntu currently has 50gb of my 500gb HD. the rest is windows.
[15:07] <tjingboem> auronandace, is there a way to use synaptic?
[15:08] <Resinator> okay i checked the md5 and it's exact
[15:08] <tjingboem> can i add it as a repo?
[15:08] <auronandace> tjingboem: it doesn't look as if tuxboot is in the repos
[15:08] <L3top> Ziber: please backup before any partition growing/shrinking
[15:08] <Ziber> L3top: of course.
[15:09] <Ziber> but it wont break ubuntu or anything, will it?
[15:09] <Resinator> so is there any other reason aside from the md5 that could cause it to freeze before booting the installation cd?
[15:09] <escott> Ziber, moving the front of the partition that contains /boot might force you to reinstall grub, but nothing should break otherwise
[15:09] <tjingboem> can i do a check before it will break my system with dpkg, auronandace
[15:09] <tjingboem> ?
[15:09] <auronandace> Resinator: hardware unsupported?
[15:10] <L3top> Should 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] <L3top> Ziber: ^
[15:10] <Ziber> escott: /boot isn't in its own partition...
[15:10] <Resinator> it wont even load the installation
[15:10] <auronandace> tjingboem: i'm not much of an expert with dpkg sorry
[15:10] <auronandace> tjingboem: i just wanted you to know that there could be problems
[15:11] <tjingboem> i see, thanks for the warning
[15:11] <Hou1> Hey guys, Im using Ubuntu 12.04 , I'v tried installing this on two seperate solid state drives, I keep getting their is a disk failure popuo, In the disk utility it says "	DISK IS BEING USED OUTSIDE OF DEVICE PARAMETERS" how do I fix this ??
[15:11] <auronandace> tjingboem: no worries :)
[15:12] <L3top> tjingboem: sudo dpkg -i --dry-run package.deb
[15:12] <Ziber> now, on a friend's laptop, i helped her install ubuntu (with /boot on an SSD) how hard will it be to install win7 alongside?
[15:12] <Resinator> there must be a way to make this cd boot
[15:13] <auronandace> Resinator: maybe try booting from a usb instead
[15:13] <L3top> Ziber: installing windows after linux will overwrite the MBR, and you will need to reinstall grub and update it
[15:13] <auronandace> Resinator: you could try the cd in another pc to see if it boots there
[15:13] <Resinator> wonder what the library would think about that
[15:14] <Ziber> L3top: so install windows, go back into livecd for linux and update-grub?
[15:14] <L3top> Hou1: How much free space do you have out of curiosity?
[15:14] <L3top> Ziber: correct sir. You will need to bind /dev and chroot into the install partition I believe.
[15:14] <auronandace> Resinator: you are trying to boot a livecd in a library?
[15:15] <Resinator> no but the only other computer available is a library computer
[15:15] <Resinator> im just trying to boot the installation cd on my laptop
[15:15] <L3top> afk
[15:15] <Hou1> l3top 40gig corsair ssd, 	27.1gb free
[15:15] <killown> sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev:i386 removes random packages build-essential dkms g++ gcc gcc-multilib libcairo2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libgtk2.0-dev libimlib2-dev libpango1.0-dev libxft-dev nvidia-current tk-dev  tk8.5-dev virtualbox-dkms, can't compile wine due to it
[15:15] <Resinator> i get the initial loading screen and the blinking orange dots for about a minute then it just stops working
[15:16] <Ziber> L3top: and how would i do that?
[15:16] <auronandace> Resinator: how long do you wait?
[15:16] <Resinator> i waited for about 20 minutes
[15:16] <auronandace> Resinator: oh, that is a bit much
[15:16] <auronandace> Resinator: not an old laptop is it?
[15:16] <Resinator> yeah
[15:17] <Resinator> i figured ubuntu would run better than windows 7
[15:17] <Resinator> which is on it now
[15:17] <killown> anyone knows what's going on with ubuntu 64bits installing libfreetype6-dev:i386?
[15:18] <lupoSolitario88> buon giorno!!
[15:18] <auronandace> Resinator: could try booting from a usb instead
[15:19] <Resinator> don't have one handy :*(
[15:19] <L3top> killown: MOST 64bit software is 32bit software. Is it causing a problem?
[15:19] <auronandace> L3top: what?
[15:19] <killown> L3top, last upgrade messed up the package system, I was able to compile wine before
[15:20] <L3top> lol
[15:20] <killown> auronandace, apt-get install build-essential:i386 also is broken
[15:20] <L3top> Very little software actually utilizes anything 64bit... I would guess 8%.
[15:20] <Resinator> well im gonna try to boot this installation disc one more time :/
[15:21] <auronandace> L3top: oh, that is more accurate and understandable
[15:21] <lunckerstar> hello
[15:21] <Resinator> if that dont work i'll just go back to windows xp :/
[15:22] <auronandace> Resinator: sounds like the cd is defective or maybe it doesn't like your hardware
[15:22] <Resinator> oops, closed that right when u said something to me
[15:23] <Resinator> what was that?
[15:23] <auronandace> Resinator: sounds like the cd is defective or maybe it doesn't like your hardware
[15:23] <Resinator> pretty standard hardware
[15:23] <Resinator> intel
[15:23] <auronandace> Resinator: intel what? processor? graphics?
[15:24] <Resinator> intel mobo/graphics/processor
[15:24] <auronandace> Resinator: recent? as in 2011-2012?
[15:24] <Resinator> nope
[15:24] <Resinator> pretty old
[15:24] <Resinator> pentium M 1.8ghz
[15:25] <auronandace> Resinator: should be fine, likely it will take a while to boot
[15:25] <Resinator> im gonna give it one more shot
[15:25] <Resinator> thx
[15:25] <auronandace> Resinator: the livecd is rather slow even on modern hardware
[15:25] <auronandace> Resinator: no worries :)
[15:25] <Resinator> is the livecd different that the install cd
[15:25] <Resinator> that = than
[15:26] <L3top> Ziber: mount your install first (eg sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt)     then sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; sudo chroot /mnt; grub-install /dev/sda; update-grub           reboot and remove cd.
[15:26] <auronandace> Resinator: yes, i'd expect the install cd is much quicker (less to load)
[15:26] <Resinator> oh
[15:26] <Resinator> im trying the install cd
[15:26] <malibu> Hi there.  can anyone tell me WHY the kernel ppa isn't giving me the 3.2 kernel?  I'm stuck at 3.0
[15:26] <Resinator> not the livecd
[15:27]  * Ziber writes that down
[15:27] <Ziber> By mount the install, you mean where it puts windows?
[15:27] <malibu> By the way, this is for 11.10
[15:27] <auronandace> malibu: 3.2 is default in 12.04, you don't need a ppa
[15:27] <Ziber> Will windows play nicely with something already installed?
[15:28] <malibu> auronandace: I have to use 11.10 for work
[15:28] <malibu> But I need the 3.2 kernel
[15:28] <glebihan> !mainline > malibu
[15:29] <Ziber> L3top: By mount the install, you mean where it puts windows?
[15:29] <L3top> Ziber: 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.
[15:30] <malibu> glebihan: I'd really rather build from the ppa
[15:30] <glebihan> malibu, what ppa ?
[15:30] <unrar> rehi
[15:30] <gitesh> Hi
[15:30] <gitesh> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[15:30] <gitesh> mythbuntu-desktop: Depends: mythbuntu-default-settings but it is not installed.
[15:30] <malibu> All the instructions online indicate to use ppa:francisbrwn/kernel
[15:30] <L3top> Ziber let me give you some other things to mount... just in case...
[15:30] <glebihan> malibu, using a ppa for the kernel is quite unsafe...
[15:31] <Ziber> L3top: i'm pretty sure it was on the first parition, but being two HD's (ssd and one not), i forget which one ubuntu decided was a and which was called b. i dont' have the laptop in front of me atm.
[15:31] <auronandace> glebihan +1
[15:31] <Ziber> L3top: not doing this right now, i'll be doing this later this afternoon. it's my friend's laptop.
[15:31] <BluesKaj> sipior, Pici , ok , fixed the constant fsck when booting up , the "pass" entry value in fstab was set to to 2 , instead of 1 or 0 . How that happened is beyond me.
[15:31] <L3top> Ziber: what OS are you using right now.
[15:31] <malibu> glebihan: But is there no way to use the package manager for hte kernel then?
[15:31] <glebihan> malibu, 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 builds
[15:32] <gitesh> how do I fix this:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098475/ ?
[15:32] <L3top> Ziber: when you are ready to do this, with the equipment you want to do this on in front of you... drop back in.
[15:32] <Ziber> L3top: my laptop is win7 and ubuntu (soon im going to move just to ubuntu and virtualize windows) and on my friend's laptop it's currently just ubuntu 12.04 and i want to install win7 along side of that.
[15:32] <Ziber> L3top: yeah, i was just asking to prepare for it.
[15:32] <glebihan> malibu, well, there's way (using a ppa), but I would really not recommend it
[15:33] <IdleOne> gitesh: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[15:33] <malibu> glebihan: If I use the mainline, am I assured that all my modules will still work?
[15:33] <gitesh> okay,IdleOne.
[15:33] <glebihan> malibu, you're never assured of anything when you use an unsupported kernel
[15:34] <malibu> glebihan: Well I know the ppa worked fine for me
[15:34] <sipior> BluesKaj: 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] <glebihan> malibu, then the mainline builds should cause no issue
[15:34] <malibu> glebihan: Ok good enough for me
[15:35] <Luke> what's the preferred way to get environment variables set in .bashrc to apply to programs started from the Unity launcher?
[15:36] <Ziber> What does "df: `/tmp/guest-F4PE4Z/.gvfs': No such file or directory" mean, when I run df -h? (That is the first line of output)
[15:36] <BluesKaj> sipior, did some searchingaround , found this http://everyjoe.com/technology/explanation-the-fstab-file/
[15:36] <Luke> apps I start from the unity launcher are missing my custom env vars
[15:36] <escott> Luke, your .bashrc won't be sourced so you can't put them in .bashrc
[15:36] <Luke> escott: where should I put them?
[15:36] <BluesKaj> bbl...stuff to do
[15:37] <Luke> escott: or in other words: what is sourced for unity launcher?
[15:37] <escott> Luke, you might try .profile, but i'm not sure if it will get sourced either
[15:37] <malibu> glebihan: Will this install update grub properly?
[15:37] <glebihan> malibu, yes
[15:38] <Luke> escott: looks like my .profile already sources my bashrc by default
[15:38] <escott> Luke, only if its a bash shell. which it won't be for an X session. you might also try ~/.xsession
[15:39] <Luke> escott: ok tahnks
[15:39] <Ziber> having just logged into the guest account, now i have two lines like that. how can i get rid of those? and disable my guest account?
[15:39] <L3top> Ziber: it means something is wrongish. I would delete everything in the /tmp directory.
[15:39] <jbwiv> guys, after a recent upgrade, I can no longer drop to a terminal with ctrl+alt+(f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6). I can press the key stroke...I can see through xev that X registers the key stroke, but unity just sits there. I've also verified that the various getty processes are running. Any idea what might cause this?
[15:39] <nannes> !pastebinit
[15:39] <Ziber> still got the error.
[15:39] <azei> hello there
[15:40] <escott> jbwiv, what graphics card?
[15:40] <aaas> i windows I can browse a network share with windows explorer with the credentials of a different user.  How can I do that with pcmanfm?
[15:40] <escott> Ziber, you would probably have to clear the gvfs mounts in /etc/mtab. i would just ignore them
[15:40] <azei> i just logged as root over ssh on my ubuntu machine i would like to display in different what i have tod o  ?
[15:40] <L3top> jbwiv: sounds like you are booted into single user mode perhaps... seems like a runlevel thing... but... I could be nuts.
[15:40] <malibu> glebihan: If I use dpkg natively, how does the package manager find updates to the kernel?
[15:41] <glebihan> malibu, it doesn't
[15:41] <jbwiv> L3top: no, not single user
[15:41] <escott> azei, you want a different CLI prompt?
[15:41] <L3top> jbwiv: type runlevel
[15:41] <malibu> glebihan: Hm, it was before when I was using the ppa
[15:41] <azei> yes
[15:41] <jbwiv> L3top: 2
[15:41] <Ziber> that fixed it, thanks :)
[15:41] <azei> escott:
[15:41] <Ziber> escott: ^
[15:41] <bob_> Hello everyone
[15:41] <jbwiv> escott: amd radeon hd 6700 series
[15:41] <L3top> then I am with escott... lspci -nn | grep VGA
[15:41] <Timbo> prior to 12.04 (I think), when I clicked a link in an external program it opened in firefox and the icon would wiggle in the launcher
[15:42] <glebihan> malibu, that's part of what's unsafe about using a ppa
[15:42] <Timbo> how do I restore the previous behaviour?
[15:42] <escott> azei, make a file /root/.bashrc and export PS1=..... in that
[15:42] <jbwiv> escott, L3top: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Juniper XT [AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series] [1002:68ba]
[15:42] <malibu> glebihan: I hear you
[15:42] <escott> azei, there are lots of tutorials online about bash prompts and how those can be setup
[15:42] <c2tarun> I want to transfer a setup from my home folder to win xp inside virtual box?
[15:43] <escott> jbwiv, and you are using the fglrx drivers?
[15:43] <azei> export what to where ? escott
[15:43] <L3top> interesting how weak its description is jbwiv... if you type update-pciids   and run that again is it more specific? Of course this is not relevant to the issue in all liklihood.
[15:43] <escott> azei, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
[15:44] <jbwiv> escott, I'm rather new to AMD after running nvidia for a decade, so I can't remember exactly what I did when I installed,but fglrx is indeed installed, and I can use the catalyst control center to much with things. Thing is, it worked before a recent apt-get upgrade
[15:44] <azei> i don't know if you get my question i simply would like to color the hostname of my server during a ssh connexion escott
[15:44] <azei> get ?
[15:44] <azei> catch me ?
[15:44] <escott> jbwiv, its likely related to kernel modesetting. not easily fixed. if you were using radeonhd it would probably work fine
[15:45] <jbwiv> L3top, not more info. one sec...I think I still have the box
[15:45] <gitesh> IdleOne, I put the command you told me, (happening nothing). Does it reinstall mythbuntu-desktop ?
[15:45] <L3top> jbwiv: I agree with escott, though it might not be that tough to fix...
[15:45] <escott> azei, i know exactly what you are saying. but its really up to you how things are configured. you'll have to decide what you like. its just a PS1 environment variable
[15:45] <IdleOne> gitesh: what do you mean (happening nothing) ?
[15:45] <gitesh> IdleOne,(happening nothing doesn't mean) . i mean Its working:)
[15:46] <escott> azei, my PS1 is: \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\n\ ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\e[1;31m\]\u@\H \[\e[1;34m\]\@ \[\e[1;36m\]\d \[\e[1;32m\][H=\! C=\#] \[\e[1;33m\]\n\ \w:> \[\e[0;37m\]
[15:46] <gitesh> taking so much time I had to say.
[15:46] <L3top> woah...
[15:46] <Ziber> my ps1 is just [\u@\h] (\w) $
[15:46] <Ziber> :P
[15:46] <IdleOne> gitesh: that is good. It is taking time because you had 174 packages that needed to be configured.
[15:46] <L3top> jbwiv: add radeon.modeset=0 to grub
[15:47] <azei> what stand for PS1 ?
[15:47] <gitesh> wow. Thanks. IdleOne
[15:47] <jbwiv> L3top, escott: the card is AMD Sapphire Radeon FLEX HD 6770 1GB DDR5 PCIe 2.1
[15:47] <IdleOne> welcome
[15:47] <L3top> jbwiv: if that does not resolve the issue or makes it worse, try =1
[15:47] <L3top> I was just curious why it was such lazy reporting jbwiv.
[15:47] <escott> azei, you put "export PS1=....." in your /root/.bashrc (or in ~/.bashrc) and it is then interpretted and made into the prompt
[15:47] <jbwiv> I bought it because I couldn't get nvidia to support 3d acceleration on three monitors
[15:47] <azei> ... define what ?
[15:48] <Ziber> someone 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] <jbwiv> L3top, ok, I'll give that a go. Could you give me an idea of what this does?
[15:48] <escott> azei, all those characters have special meanings. Ziber's PS1 is really simple it is monochrome and says [username@host] (/path/to/cwd) $
[15:49] <L3top> jbwiv: It enables or disables KMS modeset
[15:49] <Ziber> i like it simple. i have one that sets the title of the window to it, too. but i prefer simplicity.
[15:49] <escott> azei, 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 examples
[15:49] <gitesh> IdleOne, It could not solve the problem yet. just update-manager crashed.
[15:49] <IdleOne> gitesh: paste the error to pastebin
[15:49] <gitesh> ok
[15:49] <simplew> i have run "sudo apt-get install xchat" but than i get that this package doesnt exist, how can this be?
[15:50] <jbwiv> L3top, this (http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting) indicated using nomodeset. would this be the same thing as radeon.modeset=0?
[15:50] <Resinator> so i tried booting the install cd 3 more times, still nothing
[15:50] <Resinator> must not be compatible :/
[15:50] <Ziber> i 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] <simplew> why i cant install xchat????
[15:50] <azei> ok fine thanks escott
[15:51] <gitesh> IdleOne, here:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098509/
[15:51] <Ziber> simplew: http://www.xchat.org/ get the .deb
[15:51] <azei> an other question how to replace $ to € ?
[15:51] <L3top> jbwiv: I expect that they will achieve the same result... however I am not positive.
[15:51] <azei> on my bash prompt ?
[15:51] <jbwiv> L3top, ok, thanks. Here goes nothing
[15:51] <simplew> Ziber: isnt supposed to exist the xchat package in ubuntu repos????
[15:51] <Ziber> no 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¿
[15:52] <Ziber> i perfer self-installing the .deb's
[15:52] <IdleOne> gitesh: please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:52] <escott> azei, 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] <simplew> Ziber: thats a bad idea, youll have at some time libs issues
[15:52] <imanc> does 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 restarted
[15:53] <Ziber> simplew: eh, im pretty good at reading for it. repos are obviously easier to manage it.
[15:53] <simplew> xangua: http://pastebin.com/41WHYJ7S
[15:53] <gitesh> IdleOne, sudo: /etc/apt/sources.list: command not found
[15:54] <Ziber> gitesh: that's the name of a file, not a command.
[15:54] <L3top> azei: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31247
[15:54] <IdleOne> gitesh:  nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:55] <IdleOne> gitesh: then copy the contents of that file and put in pastebin. it has no sensitive information, safe to paste it.
[15:55] <ryannathans> i'm independency hell, plz help.
[15:55] <gitesh> ok,IdleOne.
[15:55] <xangua> simplew: tried to update repositories¿ what ubuntu version do you use¿
[15:55] <p1l0t> Imagine that, I rebooted and it forced and fsck I picked fix and it repaired the orphaned inodes and booted up mounted as rw. Amazing, 11.10 didn't do that on its own I don't think. And I was all scared about rebooting. Shopping now for Ubuntu certified server hardware though because this hardrive is on the out I think.
[15:55] <ryannathans> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/918765 this is my problem
[15:55] <ThinkT510> ryannathans: don't use software outside the repos
[15:56] <gitesh> IdleOne, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098518/
[15:56] <simplew> xangua: yes and 12.04
[15:56] <ryannathans> ThinkT510: wha?
[15:56] <ryannathans> ThinkT510: i'm not...
[15:56] <ThinkT510> ryannathans: you said dependency hell, sorry i assumed
[15:57] <IdleOne> gitesh: ok that looks good.
[15:57] <ryannathans> i'm just getting raped pretty bad righht now
[15:57] <gitesh> IdleOne :) , any solution?
[15:57] <IdleOne> gitesh: just a moment :)
[15:58] <ThinkT510> ryannathans: ah well, what do you know, that's caused by installing skype, which is outside the repos
[15:58] <IdleOne> gitesh: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/mythbuntu-default-settings_1.08_all.deb && sudo apt-get -f install
[15:58] <svend> Hey. I'm running a fresh installation of 12.04 and using the non-proprietary drivers. However, my OpenGL version is 1.4. Is there any way to use version 3.2 or higher, without using the proprietary drivers? My graphicscard is a HD 4890
[15:58] <ryannathans> ThinkT510: i don't have skype it was other software
[15:58] <ryannathans> ThinkT510: i fixed it \o/
[15:58] <ryannathans> bye
[15:58] <ThinkT510> ryannathans: what software
[15:59] <ryannathans> I don't know, I just installed a whole bunch of stuff to compile some software
[15:59] <ryannathans> and now i had the issue
[15:59] <Babygirl> does linux safe remove drives,,,,soes it really does ?  before u guys say is my hardware let me clear that is a brand new HD and i used via usb,,i safeley remove the drive but still make a sound
[15:59] <ryannathans> i just reinstalled libqtcore4
[16:00] <Babygirl> it does not make that sound on any windos when safe remove the drive,,why ?
[16:00] <ThinkT510> ryannathans: i'm not going to bother commenting further on that
[16:00] <escott> svend, what makes you say it is version 1.4? because it is glx 1.4?
[16:01] <jbwiv> escott, L3top: neither radeon.modeset=0 nor nomodeset seemed to make any difference. I'm at a loss
[16:01] <mwallacesd> Hi, do you know if there is some problem with GUI of mp3gain (mp3gain-gtk) in Ubuntu 12.04, it is freezing all the times that I tried to open a file or directory...
[16:01] <Babygirl> right now i cant remove my hd,,,some nautilus xm--client wont let me remove
[16:01] <L3top> jbwiv: radeon.modeset=1
[16:02] <svend> escott: I ran the glxinfo command and piped the output into grep. Here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098521/ . Perhaps it's version 2.1?
[16:02] <Lars_G> Do you think it's doable to move a working server, from Hardy Heron (in one or two steps) to Pangolin?
[16:02] <jbwiv> L3top, ah yes...sorry. brb
[16:02] <Babygirl> DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[16:03] <shahriyarguliyev> Hi there!
[16:03] <L3top> Babygirl: open a terminal, and type mount. Is it mounted?
[16:03] <ThinkT510> Lars_G: do lts upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 and then 10.04 to 12.04 (i'd just install afresh, less hassle)
[16:04] <Lars_G> ThinkT510: Yes I'm thinking so. oh man. wish me luck
[16:04] <escott> svend, 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] <mwallacesd> Opa atualizações em andamente, firefox e thunderbird
[16:04] <Babygirl> i guess no one can say anything because is a free operative system,,,and i will get kick out of here
[16:04] <gitesh> IdleOne, just tried that. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098527/
[16:04] <escott> svend, so it looks like yours is reporting a 2.1
[16:05] <shahriyarguliyev> Who is good at Ubuntu installation from WUBI Ubuntu?
[16:06] <L3top> !br | mwallacesd
[16:06] <IdleOne> gitesh: not sure what else to do now. try asking in #mythbuntu perhaps somewhere there can help.
[16:06] <avli> Hi all. Looks like I need some help with Ubuntu backports. I've added backports to sources.list for I need the latest QtCreator, that is in backports repository, but after upgrade I'm still with the old version.
[16:06] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev, you can partition your hard-disk directly from window
[16:06] <shahriyarguliyev> Who is good at Ubuntu installation from WUBI Ubuntu?
[16:06] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev, once more?
[16:06] <svend> escott: I'm in the process of learning the new OpenGL graphics pipeline and my programs don't work on the open source driver. How could i fix this?
[16:06] <shahriyarguliyev> gitesh: oh sorry for flood. i've a Q
[16:07] <gitesh> okay, IdleOne. no problem. Thank you so much for your support:)
[16:07] <RobOakes> Does anyone know if there are Qt 4.8.2 packages available in the repositories? Or if they will be added to 12.04
[16:07] <gitesh> !manual @shahriyarguliyev
[16:07] <jbwiv> L3top, no love
[16:07] <IdleOne> !manual | shahriyarguliyev
[16:08] <escott> svend, 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] <shahriyarguliyev> gitesh: 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] <jbwiv> I wonder if my keymapping could've gotten corrupted in some way?
[16:08] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev :- http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[16:08] <L3top> sorry jbwiv. Seems escott was right after all ;)
[16:08] <shahriyarguliyev> if you dont know just dont respond! i dont need that manual
[16:08] <svend> escott: That sucks :-( I'm just going to find a way to get dual monitor support to work on my machine with the proprietary drivers then
[16:08] <jbwiv> L3top, no problem. I appreciate you trying to help ;)
[16:08] <svend> escott: Thanks for the help
[16:08] <bazhang> shahriyarguliyev, be polite. people here are volunteer
[16:09] <shahriyarguliyev> it's OK. I'm here for answer
[16:09] <shah`> ;]
[16:09] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to
[16:10] <L3top> shahriyarguliyev: it depends on the options you choose at install.
[16:10] <L3top> These options are explained in detail in the manual.
[16:10] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such
[16:10] <shahriyarguliyev> SLart, ever installed from USB? does it overwrite new OS to the previous one's partition?
[16:10] <L3top> shahriyarguliyev: asked and answered.
[16:11] <escott> shahriyarguliyev, it behaves the same as a cd
[16:11] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: once again..
[16:11] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to
[16:11] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such
[16:11] <jbwiv> L3top, are keystrokes like alt+ctrl+f1 embedded within the X server, or are they desktop environment specific?
[16:11] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: and yes, I've installed ubuntu from usb.. several times
[16:12] <shahriyarguliyev> i 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] <L3top> I 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] <L3top> shahriyarguliyev: asked and answered.
[16:13] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: people have already answered you several times
[16:13] <L3top> shahriyarguliyev: IF you tell it to, yes. IF you designate other partitions no.
[16:13] <jbwiv> L3top, that's the thing...I tried stopping lightdm earlier, and I was just dropped to a blank black screen
[16:13] <shahriyarguliyev> dude i dont want to risk my 600 Gb IMPORTANT DATA! OK?
[16:13] <jbwiv> no login prompt
[16:13] <jbwiv> L3top: had to hard reset box
[16:13] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: then listen to the answers
[16:13] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: i hope you have backups
[16:14] <L3top> jbwiv: Oh I am definitely going to call that behavior related
[16:14] <jbwiv> L3top, agreed ;)
[16:14] <jbwiv> guess I should've mentioned that
[16:14] <L3top> Not thinking it has anything at all to do with keybinding.
[16:14] <BluesKaj> shahriyarguliyev, no need to shout , we can read english in lowercase just fine
[16:14] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: 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 stuff
[16:14] <antukin> 64-bit here but apt-get still looking in i386 packages?  how to disable?
[16:14] <shahriyarguliyev> I dont need apps but DATA inside HDD. dont need backups.
[16:15] <jbwiv> L3top, it's like it can't communicate with the getty processes
[16:15] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: haha, don't need backups? yeah, have fun with that...
[16:15] <shahriyarguliyev> to backup 600 Gb is impossible
[16:15] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: no it isn't
[16:16] <shahriyarguliyev> where to backup then?
[16:16] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: to an external drive which you have bought for the purpose of backing up
[16:16] <Resinator> im sad this ubuntu install wont work :/
[16:16] <L3top> jbwiv: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
[16:16] <shahriyarguliyev> ahah i thought you meant clouds...i've no external storage for now
[16:17] <L3top> jbwiv: What kernel modules are loaded
[16:17] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: then your data isn't important to you
[16:17] <shahriyarguliyev> im saving to buy one
[16:17] <jbwiv> L3top, Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci
[16:17] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: 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 is
[16:17] <L3top> jbwiv: I believe this is related to mesagl.
[16:17] <L3top> jbwiv: gimme a min... does sudo chvt 1   do anything? (hopefully you will not have to reboot to get back)
[16:18] <jbwiv> L3top, I'll give it a try. brb
[16:18] <shahriyarguliyev> SLart, it is a good idea! i'll install on VM to practice. thanks
[16:18] <mwallacesd> Hi, do you know if there is some problem with GUI of mp3gain (mp3gain-gtk) in Ubuntu 12.04, it is freezing all the times that I try to open a file or directory...
[16:18] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: you're welcome, good luck!
[16:19] <shahriyarguliyev> by the way do I need to do some stuff with partitioning? im not good at it
[16:19] <xangua> !dualboot | shahriyarguliyev
[16:19] <Slart> mwallacesd: tried running it from a terminal? just to see if there are any error messages
[16:19] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: a vm is a great place to learn partitioning safely
[16:19] <antukin> shahriyarguliyev: you mean to partition that 600GB of data?
[16:20] <shahriyarguliyev> HDD is 700 GB. 100 Gb is for OS, 100 for DATA
[16:21] <shahriyarguliyev> 600*
[16:21] <antukin> 10Gb is more than enough for OS
[16:21] <jbwiv> L3top, so chvt 1 simply froze up the entire desktop
[16:21] <shahriyarguliyev> I run WIndows 7, 100 Gb is intended for C: drive
[16:21] <jbwiv> L3top had to magic sysrq my way out of there
[16:21] <mwallacesd> Slart, mp3gain works with the terminal but their GUI (gtk) isan't
[16:21] <subz3r0> 10gb is "not" enough
[16:21] <L3top> jbwiv: you there? please ps aux | gep plymouth
[16:22] <mwallacesd>  *isn't
[16:22] <jbwiv> L3top, I'm here. one sec
[16:22] <Slart> mwallacesd: no, I meant start the gui version from a terminal.. that way you'll see error messages in that terminal if something goes wrong
[16:22] <L3top> jbwiv: ps aux | grep plymouth sorry typo
[16:22] <mwallacesd> Ok, I will Slart.
[16:22] <jbwiv> L3top, nothing returned
[16:22] <subz3r0> maybe 10gigs are enuff for root,swap and boot, but not with /home...
[16:22] <subz3r0> u will run all the time out of space
[16:23] <ThinkT510> subz3r0: works great for me, i keep a seperate storage partition
[16:23] <shahriyarguliyev> WHy Virtual Box cannot recognise .iso files?
[16:23] <ThinkT510> shahriyarguliyev: it can
[16:23] <subz3r0> ThinkT510, so youre /home is on the seperate partition?
[16:23] <L3top> jbwiv: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and if so will you please pastebin it?
[16:23] <ThinkT510> subz3r0: nope
[16:23]  * gitesh just back from dinner
[16:24] <shahriyarguliyev> it only shows "Virtual machine files"
[16:24] <jbwiv> L3top, http://pastebin.com/fH3T4jFH
[16:24] <L3top> shahriyarguliyev: you are trying to load an iso as the hd... not a cd.
[16:24] <Slart> shahriyarguliyev: what are you trying to do? the iso file is used in the device manager once you've created a vm
[16:25] <antukin> subz3r0: even with /home included mine never gets over 8GB.  Of course, data dirs in /home/user are linked somewhere  :)
[16:25] <subz3r0> antukin, bleh ;)
[16:25] <ThinkT510> antukin: ditto, mine is currently at 7.07gb out of 10
[16:26] <escott> shahriyarguliyev, an iso is not a virtual machine. once you create the virtual machine you can add the iso as a CD device
[16:26] <subz3r0> like the home will grow,too ... if you work a lot with a bunch of pictures... check .thumbnails.... ;) just one example
[16:26] <shahriyarguliyev> ok 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] <antukin> "/home/user" are only config files
[16:26] <subz3r0> shahriyarguliyev, yes
[16:27] <antukin> for the local user
[16:27] <shahriyarguliyev> can upgrade it?
[16:27] <chumma> hi can i sell ubuntu cds? If i can't ask that here where should i ask?
[16:27] <subz3r0> shahriyarguliyev, yes
[16:27] <subz3r0> chumma, no you cant
[16:27] <shahriyarguliyev> so how?
[16:27] <subz3r0> shahriyarguliyev, just install the 11.10. update it.... and then do the upgrade
[16:27] <ThinkT510> !upgrade | shahriyarguliyev
[16:28] <mwallacesd> There is no error it just freeze, then I need to kill it, anything else Slart ???
[16:28] <Yalla-UrT>  /server irc.quakenet.org
[16:28] <subz3r0> its just that easy, shahriyarguliyev
[16:28] <subz3r0> but like i said, i would recommment to update 11.10 first, then do the upgrade
[16:28] <subz3r0> -t+d
[16:29] <mwallacesd> I can't open any directory or close the Window, it just freeze Slart... There is no message Error on the terminal
[16:29] <shahriyarguliyev> if you say so,..
[16:29] <azei> how to earase every data ?
[16:29] <Slart> mwallacesd: hmm... well, you could do this..  run    tail -f /var/log/syslog   in a terminal, then run the mp3gain program and see if something suspicious shows up in that terminal window
[16:29] <subz3r0> mwallacesd, started nautilus within ur shell?
[16:29] <antukin> fresh install 12.04 is best.  why waste time/effort upgrading from 11.10 when it's not even guarranteed
[16:30] <Slart> mwallacesd: ctrl-c to close the program in the terminal and get back to a regular prompt
[16:30] <subz3r0> azei---> rm -rf /
[16:30] <subz3r0> azei, or use DD
[16:30] <gitesh> azei, there is !!!Never to Use!!!
[16:30] <LjL> subz3r0: that won't even work
[16:30] <L3top> ok jbwiv... last shot... add vga=nofb nomodeset    if "nofb" doesnt work use "normal" instead. And check your bios for any reference to frame buffer and disable it.
[16:30] <subz3r0> LjL, sure, if u use a livecd...
[16:30] <LjL> subz3r0: you should investigate what they really want to do better before giving a command like that
[16:30] <subz3r0> he just asked, and got the answer
[16:31] <Slart> azei: there are some special cd's you can download that will erase everthing.. forgot the name at the moment though.. DBAN perhaps.. try googling for DBAN
[16:31] <LjL> subz3r0: it won't work from a live CD either, anyway.
[16:31] <Slart> azei: but please be careful with that cd, if you burn it.. I don't think there are any prompts or such.. it just does its thing
[16:32] <azei> are you kidding rm -rf not working
[16:32] <Slart> azei: that command is disabled, I think
[16:32] <azei> i don't want to use cd
[16:32] <subz3r0> well. then use this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
[16:32] <azei> i would like to do something like that : rm -rf /
[16:32] <ircnode0> somebody know how I can check file correctness? for example on file foo(6789ABCD).type
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> azei  don't repeat that command here, please
[16:32] <L3top> !danger Please stop spouting that command in here
[16:32] <L3top> !warning | Please stop spouting that command in here
[16:32] <azei> rm -rf / not working
[16:32] <Slart> azei: there might be some kind of parameter to make it do its thing.. check the man page for it
[16:32] <mwallacesd> No, there is no log message about easymp3gain-gtk Slart
[16:33] <gitesh> azei, you need to be root
[16:33] <subz3r0> azei: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX (where the X represents your hardisk, u wish do delete)
[16:33] <gitesh> using sudo
[16:33] <subz3r0> "to"
[16:33] <Slart> mwallacesd: then I'm out of ideas..sorry
[16:33] <L3top> mwallacesd: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:33] <MonkeyDust> azei  if you want to erase the partition, delete it with gparted, or use wipe
[16:34] <lzyhello> hello

[16:36] <subz3r0> :>
[16:37] <mwallacesd> I 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] <escott> meelu, there was at one point a deb-bootstrap for ubuntu, but i dont think it was ever officially supported. you should try the alternate cd
[16:37] <escott> !alternate | meelu
[16:37] <gitesh> azei, wow.
[16:37] <lzyhello> o,no my system can't see chinese
[16:37] <meelu> i don't want to bother trying to fix it anymore i just want to reinstall
[16:37] <subz3r0> matland_, thought it means something like Ping Pong ;>
[16:38] <F1skr> trism: Ok great, I read that "clickpads" where supported from 1.6+

[16:38] <meelu> noor a cd
[16:38] <subz3r0> meelu, netinstall? but never did that before
[16:38] <meelu> mm
[16:38] <L3top> mwallacesd: 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.
[16:39] <shahriyarguliyev> gitesh, how many years of experience do you have with Linux and Ubuntu?
[16:39] <subz3r0> meelu, maybe check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[16:39] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev, not more that One month.
[16:39] <gitesh> *than
[16:39] <shahriyarguliyev> you mean ubuntu or linux? what about UNIX enviroment?
[16:40] <mwallacesd> Ok, thank you. L3top
[16:40] <subz3r0> ubuntu = linux =)
[16:40] <meelu> thank you, im checking subz3r0

[16:41] <smallnation> Hey, I have a problem with my login screen. Anyone care to help?
[16:41] <jbwiv> L3top: ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot and see
[16:41] <L3top> meelu: you have to have some way to install... if you have no cd/dvd/usb availability, netbooting is your only option.
[16:41] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev, if I would be you, I would shrink volume in windows -->unallocate it --> for ubuntu
[16:42] <shahriyarguliyev> gitesh, you swtiched from Windows ?
[16:42] <gitesh> yes:)
[16:42] <L3top> !anyone | smallnation
[16:42] <gitesh> shahriyarguliyev, and planning to remove windows completely.
[16:42] <L3top> !ot | shahriyarguliyev
[16:42] <shahriyarguliyev> wow! you've lernt lots of thinks in a month!
[16:42] <subz3r0> meelu, if you have no cd, nor a usb device, there will be the options to use netinstall... got a floppy?
[16:43] <gitesh> if I could get  all browsers in ubuntu for website testing.
[16:43] <bazhang> shahriyarguliyev, thats enough. take the chit chat elsewhere
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> gitesh  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/a-home-users-successful-migration-strategy-from-windows-to-ubuntu/
[16:43] <meelu> Llol subz3r0 i have a netbook i don't have a cd drive i got usb drive but cant find memory stick
[16:43] <subz3r0> meelu, bad ;) so find a usb stick =)
[16:44] <L3top> meelu: ubuntu's osmosis installer is not yet ready for alpha.
[16:44] <smallnation> Haha! Sorry, mate! My question is this: My login displays improperly on my screen. I have a 1920x1080 display on my HDTV and my login displays smaller than that with borders but my desktop displays fine. Any way of fixing it?
[16:44] <meelu> L3top, i will install ubuntu later then if i could put any other os, is it possible to install chrome from ubuntu command line?
[16:44] <meelu> or anything
[16:44] <meelu> i jgot commsnd line interface nothing else
[16:45] <L3top> smallnation: lspci -nn | grep VGA      you are probably going to have to send it directly to xrandr or create an xorg.conf
[16:45] <L3top> meelu: You could... maybe... debootstrap
[16:45] <L3top> meelu: and then install grub

[16:48] <Jak2000> sudo apt-get remove mysql*     not remove completly mysql how to remove mysq-server ?  http://pastebin.com/bQGbJLgj  thanks
[16:48] <smallnation> Sorry, I'm still a bit new to Linux and whatnot.
[16:48] <L3top> Jak2000: sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*  perhaps
[16:48] <bharath2> how can I download ubuntu windows offline installer?
[16:49] <L3top> No problem smallnation. Again... You do not have the problem I thought you did. xrandr isnt going to be of use to us... this is some other setting I suppose that I am unfamiliar with.
[16:49] <Pici> !who
[16:50] <smallnation> I'm so glad to have a ton of helpful faces here.
[16:50] <L3top> bharath2: I do not understand your question.
[16:50] <sigmundk_> Right, I installed language-pack-la-base, but "Language support" won't allow me to switch.
[16:50] <Jak2000> L3top after: sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*    continue same result: http://pastebin.com/bQGbJLgj   i want install maria-db when i try install i get these error: http://pastebin.com/JyjjWbT8

[16:51] <heligoland> hi
[16:51] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, hey man. so my internet works now
[16:51] <brandon> um i have a problem when ever i start a full screen game it changes the resoulutuion too 600x400 and if i cahnge it to 1024 x 600 it does not come back on
[16:51] <L3top> Jak2000: do you have any PPAs installed? ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d; grep -i ppa /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:51] <smallnation> Well, I just don't understand how my desktop display in full 1920x1080, but my login display in something smaller than that.
[16:51] <brandon> is there anyway to fix this
[16:52] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, but i can't disconnect and reconnect normally. i have to pull out the adapter and put it back in
[16:52] <Jak2000> L3top mmm that i remember i havent installed PPAs, how to check?
[16:52] <bharath2> L3top: 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 time
[16:52] <L3top> smallnation: 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] <smallnation> It has these huge ugly borders on both sides of the login screen.
[16:53] <L3top> Jak2000: I gave you the answer in the previous post ;)
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> heligoland  refresh my memory please
[16:53] <smallnation> Understandable.
[16:53] <brandon>  um i have a problem when ever i start a full screen game it changes the resoulutuion too 600x400 and if i cahnge it to 1024 x 600 it does not come back on
[16:53] <smallnation> Thanks L3top.
[16:53] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, 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 box
[16:54] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, with one tweak. but now i can't seem to disconnect and reconnect using the network manager
[16:54] <L3top> bharath2: 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] <Jak2000> L3top ok sorry not see,
[16:54] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, i need to physically replug the adapter
[16:55] <bharath2> L3top
[16:55] <brandon>  um i have a problem when ever i start a full screen game it changes the resoulutuion too 600x400 and if i cahnge it to 1024 x 600 it does not come back on
[16:55] <bharath2> L3top: but I want to use it as dual boot but not partition
[16:56] <linuxsage> hi, I have recently made a remastersys customization of ubuntu 11.10, I made the livecd but the installer launcher  doesnt appear ... is there a command to launch this
[16:56]  * L3top is not fond of wubi bharath2. I do not believe you will get a satisfactory answer from me.
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> heligoland  glad you made it, cheers!
[16:56] <L3top> bharath2: why? I can find no good answer to that question that warrants all of the glitchyness of wubi.
[16:56] <yannick_> meelu, ok?
[16:57] <flotwig> hlveheart, sup
[16:57] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, 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 instantly
[16:57] <meelu> yannick_, still looking for solutions
[16:57] <edk141> flotwig, sup
[16:57] <yannick_> ok
[16:57] <meelu> looking into debootstrap
[16:57] <L3top> brandon: THat is not a question anybody could really help you with as it is completely starved of details. What version of ubuntu, what game, how is it launched? Is it wine? there is nothing to work with there.
[16:58] <flotwig> edk141, not much
[16:58] <flotwig> just chattin
[16:58] <flotwig> you know how it is
[16:58] <meelu> Don't ubuntu have a recovery system like windows? reset it to the factory default etC?
[16:58] <brandon> L3top, it is all games from software center i launch it thorugh menu i have ubuntu 12.04 and a netbook
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> heligoland  wifi is less stable than RJ45
[16:58] <L3top> brandon: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:59] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, i know. ubuntu is good with ethernet

[16:59] <heligoland> MonkeyDust, but it's a pain when it gets cut off, i need to unplug the adapter...not a good long term solution
[17:00] <L3top> brandon is this a sandybridge?  update-pciids and do it again.
[17:00] <zteam> Hi!
[17:01] <brandon> L3top, update-pciids: /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.new is read-only
[17:01] <zteam> Anybody here knows how Nouveau works for a 8800 GT card nowadays?
[17:01] <brandon> got that error
[17:01] <BluesKaj> zteam, probly quite well
[17:01] <L3top> brandon: your system is running read only... that is another problem entirely.
[17:02] <brandon> L3top, should i sudo it?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> brandon, use sudo
[17:02] <gsr> brandon: you must run it as root
[17:02] <L3top> incorrect fellas... sorry.
[17:02] <zteam> BluesKaj, okey, performance well also?
[17:03] <TheWhiteHatter> My fans have stopped spinning.  Can anyone help?
[17:03] <brandon> L3top,  ok i said sudo
[17:03] <L3top> update-pciids does not require any sudo
[17:03] <colorsother> Hello i'm having trouble with my nvidia card.  have tried many things could use some help...  GeForce 8500GT
[17:03] <L3top> !details | colorsother
[17:03] <brandon> L3top,  it does and i got this Downloaded daily snapshot dated 2012-07-11 03:15:01
[17:03] <BluesKaj> zteam, I have 7600gt , and nouveau ran it very well, hardly any diff between it and the nvidia-current driver
[17:03] <L3top> brandon: weird. I have never had to use sudo, nor anyone I gave the command to. I seem to stand corrected.. oddly.
[17:04] <brandon> L3top,  ikr so will it work now?
[17:04] <L3top> boo... I am just wrong.
[17:04] <rooisto47> hi everyone
[17:04] <zteam> BluesKaj,  okey, that sounds really nice
[17:04] <L3top> brandon: all I wanted was to better ident that card. We havent changed anything. lspci -nn | grep VGA
[17:04] <bob_saget> L3top, When was this exactly? Do you mean you and me have? Oh, you are a poet.
[17:04] <Ontolog> what starts klogd during system startup?
[17:04] <bob_saget> Ontolog, There might be more than one.
[17:04] <Ontolog> bob_saget: what?!
[17:04] <BluesKaj> zteam, but I still installed the nvidia-current :)
[17:04] <brandon> ok
[17:05] <TheWhiteHatter> I attempted to install fancontrol, when i ran the pwmconfig, my fan refused to come back on.  I'm using 12.04 LTS, on a Toshiba Sattellie p20-s7469.  When I run pwmconfig it states that there are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.
[17:05] <TheWhiteHatter> Any help?
[17:05] <hlveheart> Hiya
[17:05] <bob_saget> TheWhiteHatter, Yes I think there are.
[17:05] <zteam> BluesKaj,  okey :-)
[17:05] <rooisto47> is there any IEs4Linux user ? I can't run it, I'm having error messages after choosing the IE version to run ... can anyone help me ?
[17:05] <bob_saget> rooisto47, I believe there is one, yes. Why can't you do it? Suppose they do.

[17:05] <colorsother> i cannot get the resoultion any bettter than 640x480... i have to nouveau.blacklist=1 to get my install to startup... once i got the box to bootup i install the additional drivers: have tried 173, current, current-update with no luck
[17:05] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: I hope you are not on that machine now. If so... I would logoff immediately

[17:06] <BluesKaj> colorsother, which ubuntu version ?
[17:06] <TheWhiteHatter> I have fans and whatnot keeping the sink cool
[17:06] <jacta> Anyone knows a tool to make .ogv to .mov?
[17:06] <L3top> there she is... ok brandon... brb.
[17:06] <hlveheart> what's I do
[17:06] <hlveheart> :|
[17:06] <bob_saget> hlveheart, :-).
[17:06] <TheWhiteHatter> So what can I do?
[17:06] <colorsother> i want 12.04 but i couldnt get it to work so i am trying 11.10 right now
[17:06] <Jak2000> L3top: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d; grep -i ppa /etc/apt/sources.list    <--- no results
[17:06] <zteam> BluesKaj,  thanks
[17:07] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: I cannot explain strongly enough... get on another machine. house fans are not going to keep your CPU cool
[17:07] <zteam> Jacta, why would you like to that?
[17:07] <L3top> Jak2000: sudo apt-get -f install
[17:08] <jacta> Ztane, cause I just recordmydesktop - but the one who need the files need it in mov format
[17:08] <brandon> L3top, tell me when ur back
[17:08] <colorsother> BlueKaj, my monitor native is 1680x1050
[17:08] <L3top> I am trying to figure out what would cause the behavior brandon. sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver
[17:09] <gsr> jacta: maybe http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/2009/06/17/how-to-convert-ogv-files-to-other-formats-with-winff
[17:09] <Electron> hi all
[17:09] <brandon> L3top,  ok
[17:09] <colorsother> L3top does that give you enough info?
[17:10] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: As you are still here, have you done the obvious and uninstalled what you installed that broke your laptop?
[17:10] <brandon> L3top, its done
[17:10] <jacta> Ill give it a shot, gsr, thanks!
[17:10] <L3top> brandon: log out and back in again to restart x
[17:10] <gsr> jacta: seems to match your situation to a T
[17:10] <brandon> pl
[17:10] <brandon> L3top, ok brb
[17:11] <zteam> jacta, very well try winff and see if that does the job for ya :-)
[17:11] <jacta> ill try yepp :)
[17:12] <L3top> No 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] <brandon> ok i still cant go in to a game theres black borders but not when on desktop unless i change to 800x600
[17:13] <brandon> L3top,
[17:13] <TheWhiteHatter> k I'm back
[17:13] <TheWhiteHatter> at a friends house
[17:13] <TheWhiteHatter> so... how do I fix this?
[17:14] <L3top> fantastic TheWhiteHatter. Let me look into it. I just need a little time, that I don't know you had ;)
[17:14] <TheWhiteHatter> Thanks
[17:14] <jacta> Though my version dont have Quicktime in there - can be that I have to install Quicktime?
[17:16] <colorsother> okay 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 e
[17:16] <zteam> jacta, hmm... maybe it does not support .mov
[17:16] <neldogz> hey guys, does grub support background images higher than 1360x768 in ubuntu 12.04?
[17:16] <jacta> zteam, but the ss from the homepage shows Quicktime :/
[17:17] <PineappleCLock> anyone 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] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: 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.
[17:18] <PineappleCLock> I should preface me logging in as them once is doing so over ssh
[17:18] <gitesh> MonkeyDust, thanks for the link.
[17:18] <brandon__> back
[17:18] <brandon__> L3top, any luck?
[17:19] <zteam> jacta, do you have libavcodec-extra-53 installed?
[17:19] <TheWhiteHatter> k I can grab my flash drive
[17:19] <jacta> zteam, nop - trying
[17:19] <L3top> colorsother: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? and if so can you please pastebin it? I would also like to see the output of xrandr -q
[17:19] <TheWhiteHatter> Already has a few distros on it
[17:20] <zteam> jacta, that should install some extra codecs for you
[17:20] <colorsother> okay one sec
[17:20] <neldogz> I got a grub background image set properly at 1920x1080x24 and it wont show unless its 1360x768.. what gives?
[17:20] <bharath2> can anyone suggest how to install ubuntu with out partition
[17:20] <jacta> zteam, it also did, but not quicktime - just saw - flv or mov is the format I need :\
[17:20] <L3top> brandon__: 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.
[17:22] <skegeek> I 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] <zteam> jacta, okey, well u can try iriverter instead
[17:23] <L3top> neldogz: A grub background? 24p? I dunno if grub can even display that.
[17:23] <TheWhiteHatter> will a fedora cd work?
[17:23] <TheWhiteHatter> it's all I have
[17:23] <neldogz> L3top, i can display a grub background at 1360x768x24
[17:23] <zteam> jacta, otherwise there are plenty of web pages which offer video conversation online
[17:24] <jacta> zteam, file will be around 130mb of not more :\
[17:24] <neldogz> just wish I could match the resolution of my panel
[17:24] <jacta> ill try the iriverter, zteam
[17:24] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: I am not sure. Worth a try... will either work, or it wont :)
[17:24] <colorsother> L3top, xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/8r82PN4N   xrandr -q: http://pastebin.com/1aV9VHL3
[17:24] <colorsother> thanks
[17:25] <TheWhiteHatter> crap, wasn't a live CD
[17:25] <TheWhiteHatter> brb
[17:25] <L3top> neldogz: How are you setting this image to begin with?
[17:25] <neldogz> using grub customizer
[17:25] <neldogz> but since that didnt work I tried editing the etc/grub/grub but that didnt work either
[17:26] <L3top> well thats the problem colorsother. It cannot read the EDID of your monitor.
[17:26] <zteam> jacta, yeah do so, is this file going to watched on ipad/iphone or an Ipod?
[17:26] <jacta> zteam, its for a client - dunno what they use it for :p
[17:26] <colorsother> how do you fix that?  i dont know
[17:26] <neldogz> sorry, etc/default/grub
[17:26] <scarrs> help !?  -->ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[17:26] <scarrs> pls
[17:27] <zteam> jacta, okey, just wondered why they did prefer .mov format :-)
[17:27] <mneptok> jacta: sounds like with FLV or MOV requirements they want something that plays in browsers.
[17:27] <jacta> I think that too mneptok :)
[17:28] <mneptok> jacta: WebM. :)
[17:28] <colorsother> why would my install not be able to read my monitor?
[17:28] <jacta> iriverter only does avi as output :\
[17:28] <L3top> colorsother: you will have to set it manually in xorg.conf.  I will need a minute. What resolution do you want?
[17:28] <mneptok> jacta: VMC can convert streams. WebM (being Free) is included by default.
[17:28] <mneptok> jacta: ugh ... VLC
[17:28] <colorsother> native is 1680x1050
[17:28] <scarrs> I need an experienced mysql user to help me set up my initial database... I get the following error when doing so: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) ----------------pls help
[17:29] <bazhang> scarrs, ask in a mysql channel yet?
[17:29] <L3top> colorsother: what kind of monitor is this and how is it connected?
[17:29] <scarrs> bazhang: not yet, I came here first
[17:29] <Erealz> how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter
[17:29] <mneptok> scarrs: what command did you issue?
[17:30] <colorsother> VGA adapter and is a Dell SP2208
[17:30] <Cantide> umm, is anyone else having mic trouble? my mic worked yesterday, today it will not work :'(
[17:30] <scarrs> mneptok: mysql -u root -p -h localhost
[17:30] <mneptok> scarrs: but you said you were creating a DB. that command just logs you in to the MySQL console.
[17:31] <zteam> jacta, yeah try VLC as mneptok suggests that should be able to convert it
[17:31] <jacta> zteam - mneptok but what format?
[17:31] <L3top> colorsother: tell me if cvt default 1680 1050 60      produces a modeline.
[17:31] <pecanha> Hello, is there a package for ndb-mgm (mysql cluster management) on ubuntu?
[17:31] <colorsother> k
[17:31] <Erealz> how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter
[17:31] <scarrs> mneptok:  whiel installing mysql*, i get the same EXACT error while creating the initial database
[17:31] <r0tha_> sudo aptitude search ndb-mgm
[17:31] <mneptok> jacta: you need some kind of h264 and AAC inside a QT MOV container.
[17:32] <jacta> mneptok, in there Quicktime is not there too
[17:32] <jacta> could use the flv maybe
[17:32] <mneptok> scarrs: so the package manager has problems creating the DB with tables for names and passwords? sounds like a packaging issue.
[17:33] <scarrs> mneptok:  I completely agree... any idea what I should do?
[17:33] <BluesKaj> jacta, do you have ffmpeg and did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:33] <L3top> colorsother?
[17:33] <colorsother> well never mind L3top i changed the adpater from VGA to Digital and the install picked up my monitor after a reboot
[17:33] <mneptok> jacta: QT is proprietary. there are reverse engineered Linux packages to deal with QT contained stuff, but i don't know how/if they interface with VLC.
[17:34] <L3top> colorsother: were you using an adapter?
[17:34] <colorsother> ahhhh i have been working on this forever and thats all it was....
[17:34] <colorsother> i was using analog and just switched to digital
[17:34] <mneptok> scarrs: remove all MySQL packages. make sure nothing is left behind. see if MariaDB packages display the same behavior.
[17:35] <L3top> colorsother: eg dvi>vga      (digital can be a few things. I would like to know your exact case for future please)
[17:35] <colorsother> okay.
[17:35] <vaq> Hello, I am trying to limit my incoming and outgoing bandwidth throughput to 10mbit, through these tc rules ( http://pastebin.ca/2172226 ) but they don't seem to have affect. I can still download beyond 10mbit. Any ideas?
[17:35] <scarrs> mneptok: ok, biab
[17:35] <okay> colorsother: okay
[17:35] <Erealz> how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter
[17:36] <colorsother> alright once sec L3top
[17:36] <colorsother> have to install easygit
[17:36] <L3top> ty colorsother
[17:37] <L3top> Honestly just a quick breakdown will be fine colorsother. "I was using a vga cable with a dvi adapter on it, and plugged in an hdmi cable instead" for instance.
[17:37] <TheWhiteHatter> removing fancontrol now
[17:37] <jacta> BluesKaj, didnt have that - installing and trying again ;)
[17:37] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: I would leave lm-sensors installed and use it fairly immediately while booting and listen to your fans.
[17:37] <zteam> jacta, yes it is avaiable, click on the hammer and u should have alot of more options
[17:37] <colorsother> yeah i was using a VGA adapter and after switching to a digital adapter the 11.10 install picked up my monitor..
[17:38] <L3top> Ok colorsother. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
[17:38] <TheWhiteHatter> still nothing
[17:38] <colorsother> if this was the problem i am going to do a clean install of 12.04LTS cause that is what i'd like to have running

[17:52] <TheWhiteHatter4> what was that file path?
[17:52] <L3top> also, just for fun... check the bios and make sure cooling is not somehow disabled there as well after running the above two and giving me the output... when you reboot.
[17:53] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter grep -i acpi | /<mountpoint>/etc/default/grub
[17:53] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter cat /<mountpoint>/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device1/cur_state
[17:53] <ubsrv> hi people, has someone configured a dante-server (socks proxy) on ubuntu?
[17:54] <TheWhiteHatter4> Permission denied for the first command
[17:54] <TheWhiteHatter4> sudo?

[17:55] <habib> hey everyone. can u advice me some codecs pack for video player
[17:56] <TheWhiteHatter> back AGAIN
[17:56] <skyshadow> idk maybe sudo su first
[17:56] <TheWhiteHatter> it said permission denied
[17:56] <bazhang> habib, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:56] <TheWhiteHatter> even after I tried it with 'sudo"
[17:56] <primefalcon> habib, also look into the medibuntu site
[17:56] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: what OS are you using live
[17:56] <TheWhiteHatter> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[17:56] <TheWhiteHatter> same as the computer
[17:57] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: gksudo gedit /<mountpoint>/etc/default/grub
[17:58] <TheWhiteHatter> Also, there is not cooling option in my bios
[17:58] <habib> bazhang, ubuntu-restricted-extras, so u say)
[17:58] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: we want this line to read GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash  acpi_osi=force"
[17:58] <TheWhiteHatter> I have to reboot again because I accidentally bumped the power strip (laptop has nop battery)
[17:58] <L3top> lol... ok TheWhiteHatter.
[18:00] <TheWhiteHatter> by <mountpoint> you mean that long string of numbers and letter?
[18:00] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: wherever it is mounted. yes.
[18:01] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: you can use tab to complete. Probably /media/1kd<tab> for instance
[18:02] <TheWhiteHatter> The line says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[18:02] <TheWhiteHatter> the line under says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
[18:02] <L3top> we want to ad acpi_osi=force
[18:02] <nailora> what can i do: for quite some time i get the following message from apt-get:
[18:02] <nailora> The following packages have been kept back:
[18:02] <nailora>   gnome-sudoku gnomine
[18:02] <L3top> after quiet splash TheWhiteHatter.
[18:02] <TheWhiteHatter> in quites?
[18:02] <TheWhiteHatter> quotes*
[18:03] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: we want this line to read GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=force"
[18:03] <TheWhiteHatter> k
[18:03] <TheWhiteHatter> done
[18:03] <TheWhiteHatter> save?
[18:03] <blitz> how do I force ubuntu to update /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
[18:03] <L3top> we also want to gksudo gedit /<mountpoint>/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device1/cur_state       and make that a 0
[18:04] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: ^
[18:04] <L3top> sorry yes TheWhiteHatter save that other file first and close
[18:04] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: close gedit that is
[18:04] <TheWhiteHatter> cur_state is blank
[18:05] <L3top> we want that to be a 0
[18:05] <TheWhiteHatter> a file that just says 0?
[18:05] <L3top> save and close
[18:05] <L3top> correct TheWhiteHatter. It is a state.
[18:05] <L3top> 1s and 0s runs the world.
[18:05] <TheWhiteHatter> tried to save, says vould not find file
[18:05] <TheWhiteHatter> could*
[18:06] <TheWhiteHatter> "please check that you typed the location correctly and try again"
[18:07] <TheWhiteHatter> The path appears to be right
[18:07] <[snake]> does gedit make a bunch of files with tildes at the end? or is it maybe nano, or vi? I have so many but Idk which program is doing it.
[18:08] <L3top> echo "0" | sudo tee /<mountpoint>/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device1/cur_state        TheWhiteHatter.
[18:09] <kw> yep
[18:10] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: replacing mountpoint again. I would also like to see the output of ls /<mountpoint>/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/
[18:10] <TheWhiteHatter> no such file or directory
[18:10] <[snake]> files with tildes at the end are from the adversary. >_<
[18:11] <L3top> derp derp... /dev not mounted... derp derp.
[18:11] <TheWhiteHatter> cannot access no such fole or directory
[18:11] <L3top> nor sys
[18:11] <L3top> derp derp... please reboot to OS TheWhiteHatter.
[18:11] <TheWhiteHatter> main OS?
[18:11] <Megaf> derp?
[18:11] <TheWhiteHatter> on the laptop?
[18:11] <TheWhiteHatter> not live CD
[18:11] <Megaf> well, cya
[18:11] <L3top> yes TheWhiteHatter.
[18:11] <TheWhiteHatter> okay
[18:12] <TheWhiteHatter> booting now
[18:12] <TheWhiteHatter> still no fan
[18:12] <[snake]> I think Megaf was offended by your derping possibly.
[18:12] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: once booted please open a terminal and type sudo -s then cd /sys/devices/virtual/thermal      give me an ls
[18:13] <[snake]> L3top,
[18:13] <L3top> Is derp now offensive in the PC lexicon?
[18:13] <[snake]> pfft... idk.
[18:13] <ubsrv> hi people, has someone configured a dante-server (socks proxy) on ubuntu?
[18:13] <wutang> what does derp mean?
[18:13] <Pici> !offtopic
[18:13] <[snake]> wutang, it's like "I just made a silly mistake"... oh we're offtopic... urban dictionary is good for things like that
[18:13] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: for obvious reasons we wanna move quickly here
[18:14] <wutang> god damn #offtopic Nazis
[18:14] <L3top> echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device1/cur_state
[18:14] <LambdaDusk> when the X-Server doesn't allow an OpenGL-Framebuffer on an ubuntu installation, is that a configuration or a hardware problem?
[18:14] <L3top> !language | wutang
[18:14] <L3top> lol
[18:14] <TheWhiteHatter> cooling_device0 1 and 2
[18:14] <wutang> what God is now offensive
[18:14] <L3top> echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state
[18:14] <wutang> or damn
[18:14] <L3top> echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device2/cur_state
[18:15] <Pici> wutang: drop it.
[18:15] <[snake]> wutang, please
[18:15] <wutang> Look, kids don't hang out on #ubuntu, they're too busy chasing tail
[18:15] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: You should hear fans kick doing this.
[18:15] <TheWhiteHatter> nope
[18:15] <TheWhiteHatter> hardware issue?
[18:16] <L3top> bah
[18:16] <TheWhiteHatter> actually now that I think
[18:16] <TheWhiteHatter> I didn't hear it during the liveCD either
[18:16] <L3top> apt-get install lmsensors
[18:16] <L3top> apt-get install lm-sensors
[18:16] <TheWhiteHatter> k
[18:17] <TheWhiteHatter> now what?done
[18:17] <TheWhiteHatter> it's set up and stuff
[18:17] <L3top> type sensors
[18:18] <L3top> sensors | grep temp
[18:18] <L3top> what are your temps atm
[18:18] <TheWhiteHatter> didn't list one
[18:18] <TheWhiteHatter> it said coretemp-isa-0000
[18:18] <TheWhiteHatter> with temp in red
[18:19] <L3top> what does sensors look like
[18:19] <L3top> temp is red because of the grep
[18:19] <L3top> just sensors
[18:19] <TheWhiteHatter> Core 0 and 1 both say +63.0C
[18:19] <L3top> thats fine.
[18:20] <TheWhiteHatter> wait... I can hear another fan running
[18:20] <TheWhiteHatter> the one I can see is not running
[18:20] <ramkr> while booting up did you by any chance use the noapci option ? it sometimes prevents the fan from functioning properly
[18:20] <TheWhiteHatter> nope
[18:20] <TheWhiteHatter> Could the wiring be bad on one of my fans?
[18:21] <ramkr> what is you machine ?
[18:21] <TheWhiteHatter> toshiba satellite p205-s7469
[18:21] <ramkr> how old ?
[18:21] <TheWhiteHatter> several years
[18:21] <TheWhiteHatter> let me think....
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> 6 years?
[18:22] <ramkr> seems to me that the 1. the fans may be clogged and 2. you might need some coolant paste on your processors
[18:22] <L3top> TheWhiteHatter: I am trying to get to the bottom of this... please keep checking sensors for ugly temp
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> I have to go
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> im sorry
[18:22] <L3top> ramkr: these died after installing fancontrol
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> theyre in the high 50's now
[18:22] <wutang> try cooling it with liquid nitrogen
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> I will come back later
[18:22] <TheWhiteHatter> I apoligize
[18:22] <wutang> guys
[18:22] <wutang> fan control
[18:23] <wutang> with Asus rampage gene II mATX doesn't work
[18:23] <ramkr> i had a similar problem on a 6 year thinkpad and the problem was the fan and the loss of coolant paste
[18:23] <L3top> i think I found it
[18:23] <ramkr> oh - software glitch - does changing the os work
[18:23] <L3top> cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
[18:23] <L3top> of course he is gone
[18:24] <islandmonkey> Hi, how can I get X not to restart when I kill it? I also want to make sure I can get X once things are done to automatically start back up again as well
[18:24] <ramkr> he says he'll be back (not sure about the he though)
[18:24] <petoo> hi
[18:24] <L3top> islandmonkey: how are you killing it
[18:24] <islandmonkey> L3top: sudo pkill X
[18:25] <petoo> !xubuntu
[18:25] <L3top> islandmonkey: what version of buntu are you running/desktop mgr
[18:25] <islandmonkey> BTW, I'm installing a beta NVIDIA driver
[18:25] <wutang> ubottu: shut the fuck up you stupid cumt
[18:25] <L3top> bye wutang
[18:25] <petoo> is xubuntu different than installing ubuntu and then using xfce?
[18:25] <wutang> lol
[18:26] <ramkr> xfce is quite nice and lite - its graphics rendering ain't so good but speed wise on it rocks
[18:26] <ramkr> and unlike the new gnome it is still quite configurable
[18:26] <islandmonkey> L3top: Ubuntu 12.04 and Unity
[18:26] <islandmonkey> but sometimes LXDE
[18:26] <L3top> islandmonkey: sudo service lightdm stop
[18:26] <subz3r0> ramkr, yup. But I prefer gnome 3 on my homesystem. for subnontebooks, netbooks xfce is very nice
[18:27] <islandmonkey> Okedookeee.
[18:27] <Jordan_U> petoo: XUbuntu also has a differnet default set of applications. But the only difference between any flavors of Ubuntu is default package selection.
[18:27] <petoo> what I want to know is it different or same ?
[18:27] <subz3r0> the look and feel of unity is just bad
[18:27] <[snake]> If I install gnome-shell, do I get all of the gnome apps as well... because I don't want them, unless of course I already have them, however I don't want to separate versions of the same program either.
[18:28] <[snake]> two* separate
[18:28] <ramkr> am running every single desktop system - gnome unity 2d, classic, 3 d, kde, xfce - am tending towards xfce - started by installing ubuntu ultimate edition
[18:28] <subz3r0> [snake], only some
[18:28] <petoo> Jordan_U: what I wanted to know was if I install xubuntu and later if I want gnome will it be different than what we usually get as ubuntu?
[18:28] <ramkr> gnome shell allows very little customization
[18:28] <ramkr> default apps can all be changed
[18:29] <petoo> I already have xfce gnome and kde
[18:29] <Jordan_U> petoo: You'll have more applications installed, but other than that, no.
[18:29] <petoo> but never tried "xubuntu"
[18:29] <ramkr> petoo: nope all the intefaces will remain the same only the number of software options will increase
[18:29] <GI_Jack> is there anyway to rollback versions of QT
[18:29] <petoo> oh ok
[18:29] <GI_Jack> this nvidia qt bug is starting to interfere with my productivity
[18:29] <petoo> so in a sense I am using xubuntu
[18:30] <tchine> ll
[18:30] <ramkr> yes
[18:30] <tchine> hello
[18:30] <[snake]> GI_Jack, if your minecraft is running slow. go to options> and toggle "used advanced opengl" to yes
[18:30] <ramkr> am sure a pure xfce version will be very efficient but i can't do with out some apps that come with some other interfaces so a mix is what i do
[18:32] <GI_Jack> [snake] this has nothing to do with minecraft
[18:32] <wolfbyte> Hi, I made a bootable USB live boot with Ubuntu 12.04. But when it starts on my PC, it says "vesamenu32 not a COM32r"
[18:32] <[snake]> GI_Jack, oh... sorry.
[18:32] <ramkr> am sorry to say that i don't like the new gnome or unity, find it very difficult to customize. Its alsomost impossible to move the panels around
[18:32] <wolfbyte> so I tried pressing TAB , and then type live and <ENTER>
[18:32] <GI_Jack> its every qt application
[18:33] <GI_Jack> like virtual box
[18:33] <GI_Jack> keepassx
[18:33] <[snake]> ramkr, I don't like it because it's like not one interface or something.
[18:33] <GI_Jack> since I store passwords with keepassx I am fucked until this is fixed
[18:33] <GI_Jack> and every python-qt app
[18:33] <petoo> ramkr: unity?
[18:33] <petoo> !unity
[18:34] <ramkr> i don't like unity - it was a novelty but after a while it affects productivity
[18:34] <[snake]> !notunity | snake
[18:34] <[snake]> opps... sorry snake
[18:34] <petoo> shell for gnome , like I understand
[18:34] <ramkr> like kde plasma - similar but atleast this gives more control
[18:34] <wolfbyte> Hi, I made a bootable USB live boot with Ubuntu 12.04. But when it starts on my PC, it says "vesamenu32 not a COM32r" .  so I tried pressing TAB , and then type live and <ENTER> .   but it says "could not find kernel image live"  . Any ideas how to fix?
[18:35] <ramkr> wolfbyte: - how did you make the usb live book, unetbootin is buggy try the ubuntu usbcreator it may rectify the way the live usb boot is made
[18:36] <wolfbyte> i used the Universal USB installer for windows
[18:37] <antonio_> Ola pessoal
[18:37] <wolfbyte> as instructed on Ubuntu website
[18:37] <petoo> ramkr: can I try lxde on ubuntu
[18:37] <petoo> ?
[18:38] <L3top> wolfbyte: does this thing start with just a dumb "boot:"  prompt?
[18:39] <[snake]> L3top, if it does, I had this issue with fedora usbs once. I just typed something like ISOLINUX and it booted
[18:40] <wolfbyte> no, It starts with "vesamenu32 not a COM32r" .  so I tried pressing TAB , and then type live and <ENTER> .   but it says "could not find kernel image live"
[18:40] <petoo> missing initrd?
[18:40] <L3top> I read that wolfbyte. What happens if you just hit enter? Why would you expect something other than a vesamenu32
[18:42] <wolfbyte> it keeps repeating "vesamenu32 not a COM32r" on the screen , Enter has no effect
[18:42] <L3top> wolfbyte: have you checked the md5sum of the iso you downloaded?
[18:43] <wolfbyte> no, but it was a torrent from the ubuntu website
[18:43] <L3top> !md5sum | wolfbyte
[18:44] <mirak> hi
[18:44] <rns> anyone know how to get synergy working?  I've installed run the client on my 12.04 laptop and installed and run the server on my 10.04 laptop.  But when I run them it doesn't work, and I don't get any error messages.
[18:44] <wolfbyte> thanks
[18:44] <L3top> It is not a question of it being "unofficial" but possibly a corrupted download wolfbyte... no problem :)
[18:44] <mirak> there is something anoying with the password popup after login. It stills the keyboard focus, then my XBMC wich start fullscreen doesn't get the keyboard
[18:46] <mirak> is there a way to tell ubuntu to lose the global password ?
[18:46] <mirak> for my session ?
[18:47] <ramkr> just read this http://www.muktware.com/3914/why-i-went-back-gnome-kde , will see how it works, i use shotwell to import images, so will see how it works
[18:47] <qgcope> nice chat
[18:47] <ramkr> mirak: in a terminal ?
[18:47] <Ziber> So I'm trying to install wine. I messed it up already once, so I figured I'd ask before I try again. Best way to do it?
[18:47] <Ziber> ubuntu 12.04, btw.
[18:48] <qgcope> u are a  linux user?
[18:48] <Ziber> yes.
[18:48] <Seveas> Ziber, sudo apt-get install wine
[18:49] <Ziber> http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/wine.txt
[18:49] <Ziber> :(
[18:49] <ramkr> history -c
[18:49] <ramkr> will clear the bash / terminal history
[18:50] <Seveas> Ziber, ok, you messed up your system then :) pastebin the output of this: cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[18:50] <Ziber> Seveas: alright, sec.
[18:50] <geekplug> http://imgur.com/ridXQ
[18:51] <Ziber> now chrome's not opening? :/
[18:52] <tking0036> do you guys think that lxde is lighter than xfce
[18:52] <psychogenik> chrome is botnet
[18:52] <Ziber> i think i really messed something up.
[18:53] <bekks> tking0036: Why?
[18:53] <tking0036> i am installing either l/x ubuntu on an old comptuer
[18:53] <tking0036>  /join #smartphones
[18:53] <psychogenik> lxde is lighter...but xfce is so much better
[18:53] <tking0036> really?
[18:54] <Ziber> alright, had to fix /tmp to be globally writable since i accidentally deleted it before.
[18:54] <psychogenik> yea its really not much of a difference other than the way they look tho
[18:54] <Ziber> now
[18:54] <bekks> Ziber: Thats perfectly OK.
[18:54] <tking0036> why is xfce better
[18:54] <bekks> tking0036: It has more functions.
[18:56] <Nogal> Hey 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] <Seveas> Nogal, it's not installed by default, but easily installable. When installed you can choose when logging in
[18:56] <ramkr> nope ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde, xbuntu is xfce,
[18:56] <xangua> Nogal: Xubuntu ships with xfce
[18:57] <ramkr> however 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] <buttons> how do I get a listing of installed applications via command line
[18:57] <Nogal> alright, so a simple "sudo apt-get install xfce" should do the trick or should I look up documentation before starting?
[18:57] <Seveas> buttons, dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[18:57] <ramkr> However its a bit messy you will see multiple options for the same function (software i mean)
[18:57] <Seveas> buttons, or dpkg --get-selections
[18:57] <Meridious> nogal, that should work
[18:57] <buttons> thanks
[18:57] <oCean> Nogal: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[18:57] <ramkr> Nogal: use synaptic it might be xfce4 or something
[18:57] <sl33k_> downloading sw from software center gives error -Requires installation of untrusted packages. what happens here. usung 10.04
[18:58] <Ziber> Seveas: http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/sources_output.txt
[18:58] <oCean> Nogal: the xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it will bring in all the necessary packages for XFCE
[18:58] <buttons> if it wasn't installed via a package manager is there any way to tell how it was installed?
[18:58] <Ziber> i tried adding a ppa for wine earlier, but more things seem to have broekn.
[18:58] <Nogal> alright, "xubuntu-desktop" is the package, then when I go to log in both options will be available?
[18:58] <oCean> Nogal: yes
[18:59] <ramkr> yes when you login - there will be a small icon called settings just near the login - choose which ever one you want to use
[18:59] <Nogal> sweet, got a nice fun project tonight :D I tested out sabayon 9 and wasn't a fan, but xfce was just awesome.
[19:00] <Seveas> Ziber, hmm, that doesn't look too messed up. What does this say: apt-cache policy wine ; apt-cache policy wine1.4
[19:00] <Nogal> thanks guys!
[19:00] <Linux> Ola Pessoal
[19:00] <blitz> how do I force ubuntu to update /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
[19:00] <buttons> What packages contain tomcat as a part of it?
[19:00] <blitz> I need pycrypto 2.6 and I have 2.4.1
[19:00] <ramkr> Sabayon - i used to like, its hardware recognition was awesome as well as the graphics and rendering - but had to give it up as installing packages was a bit of a pain, also it did not have the same software availability depth of a debian base
[19:01] <oCean> !br | Linux
[19:01] <sl33k_> downloading sw from software center gives error -Requires installation of untrusted packages. what happens here. usung 10.04
[19:01] <sl33k_> any workaround
[19:01] <Seveas> buttons, tomcat7
[19:01] <ramkr> try synaptic
[19:01] <Seveas> buttons, apt-cache search tomcat
[19:02] <Ziber> Seveas: http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/wine_policy.txt
[19:02] <ramkr> S133k: try synaptic - it gives better error messages :-) and also more control over whats happening
[19:02] <Varikonniemi> sl33k_, the problemi si the version you are running
[19:02] <Seveas> Ziber, o...k... Next bit: sudo apt-get install wine wine1.4
[19:03] <Varikonniemi> upgrade to 12.04 and feel a new world
[19:03] <ramkr> ah good point
[19:03] <ramkr> even LTS has its limits i guess
[19:03] <Varikonniemi> LTS is applicable only to ubuntu server imo
[19:03] <IdleOne> People who don't know what they are talking about should know their limits also.
[19:03] <Varikonniemi> or corporate use
[19:03] <joossee> How do I mount an encrypted home directory stored on a USB stick? I've tried the "Access your private information.dekstop" link and the ecryptfs-mount-private from the command line but nothing happens. It is an encrypted home directory that I need to mount from my current machine. Any help greatly appreciated.
[19:03] <IdleOne> sl33k_: have you recently added a PPA to sources.list?
[19:04] <Varikonniemi> IdleOne, yeah so you should probably keep quiet
[19:04] <Seveas> blitz, no release of ubuntu has pycrypto 2.6. You'll need to install from source or make your code work with 2.4
[19:04] <Ziber> needed an unmet dependency, wine-1.4-amd (or something like that), installing that too.
[19:04] <blitz> Seveas, yeah I figured I'm just copying it over manually now
[19:04] <silverghost> hellloooo people i really want to give ubuntu 12.04 a try again but i dk why ubuntu 12.04 boots slower than my windows 7
[19:04] <IdleOne> Varikonniemi: telling someone to upgrade because they are getting a error is ridiculous.
[19:04] <Varikonniemi> same as with windows xp, 10.04 is ancient and should be a thing of past
[19:05] <sl33k_> IdleOne: nope for sure
[19:05] <benassi> hello
[19:05] <benassi> :)
[19:05] <bekks> silverghost: The boot time really doesnt matter at all.
[19:05] <IdleOne> sl33k_: can you pastebin the exact error you are getting please
[19:05] <subz3r0> Varikonniemi, very funny...
[19:05] <mbroadst> any sysfs/udev buffs in here? I'm trying to find a way to disable (or at least restrict) incoming usb devices based on bInterfaceClass using udev. I understand the preferred way is to use authorization with sysfs, but I'd like to de-authorize for an entire class rather than specific devices. I have rules that correctly identify the devices, and I thought maybe just setting a restrictive MODE/OWNER might work, but it doesn't seem to
[19:05] <Ziber> seems to have installed just fine.
[19:05] <silverghost> idk man after ubuntu 11.04 ubuntu's boot has become slow 10.10 was amazingly fast
[19:05] <Varikonniemi> no, im tellint to upgrade since ubuntu/linux has rhe weirdest quirks and usually a reinstall is MUCH faster than debugging it
[19:05] <Ziber> hm, thanks :D
[19:05] <Varikonniemi> like this one time a game froze on me, i tried to kill -9 it, nothing happened
[19:06] <Varikonniemi> i booted, and unity crashed -> back to vm
[19:06] <Varikonniemi> how the heck is this possible?
[19:06] <Ziber> wine doesn't have a windows 7 version?
[19:06] <Varikonniemi> so i just reinstalled since nobody here had a clue
[19:06] <subz3r0> Varikonniemi, so you reinstalled the system in coze of u wasnt able to kill the process?
[19:06] <bekks> silverghost: And it still doesnt matter how fast a box boots :) Take off your jacket, get a coffee, read your snail mail while our box boots.
[19:06] <blitz> Seveas, I replaced the lib file with the one from the website and now import Crypto says "no module named Crypto"
[19:06] <Seveas> Ziber, could you pastebin the output of all those commands, I'm curious
[19:06] <sl33k_> IdleOne: get this alert box saying - Requires installation of untrusted packages
[19:06] <ramkr> for a new install look at a new all in os look at http://ultimateedition.info/ , its a one stop one time all in one install and doea a heck of a job of customizin a lot of stuff
[19:06] <Varikonniemi> subz3r0, try to read, i reinstalled because somehow a game not running as root managed to mewsss up my unity
[19:06] <Varikonniemi> so it would not start
[19:07] <benassi> Guys I have problem with my microphone on ubuntu 12.04 64x... when I record It sounds so bad, but on win7 sound is crystal clear :/
[19:07] <subz3r0> Varikonniemi, the mistake sits mostly between the monitor and the chair
[19:07] <silverghost> when i shut down also it takes a few minute more
[19:07] <Varikonniemi> that is FAIL on the highest degree
[19:07] <Ziber> Seveas: no errors, but sure.
[19:07] <IdleOne> sl33k_: close out Software centre, open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:07] <Varikonniemi> and as i said, here no-one had any clue, said it shoulsd not be possible
[19:07] <Varikonniemi> so i just reinstalled in 15 minutes and thatsw that
[19:07] <bekks> ramkr: Please stop adversiting inofficial ubuntu spin-offs ;)
[19:07] <silverghost> ubuntu 10.10 is the best version
[19:07] <silverghost> unity is a fail
[19:07] <Guest12665> 11.10
[19:07] <Ziber> Seveas: only thing of interest might be: "update-binfmts: warning: no executable /usr/bin/wine found, but continuing anyway as you request"
[19:07] <bekks> silverghost: It isnt supported anymore. Period.
[19:07] <LjL> !ot
[19:08] <Varikonniemi> sometimes it is preferable to just grab your usb stick and reinstall and not try to fight the proken pos
[19:08] <Ziber> got it running now
[19:08] <ramkr> bekks - yes its unofficial but its very good
[19:08] <pfdense> does ubuntu have voice recognition
[19:08] <benassi> Guys I have problem with my microphone on ubuntu 12.04 64x... when I record It sounds so bad, but on win7 sound is crystal clear :/
[19:08] <benassi> Guys I have problem with my microphone on ubuntu 12.04 64x... when I record It sounds so bad, but on win7 sound is crystal clear :/
[19:08] <blitz> Seveas, I can only get it there by using cp with sudo, but if I do that then python doesn't have permission
[19:08] <blitz> I'm lost
[19:08] <silverghost> ubuntuwannabapple lol i like oranges :D
[19:08] <LjL> pfdense: not dictation, but there are some things to recognize commands
[19:08] <bekks> pfdense: When installing those programs, yes.
[19:08] <Guest12665> what is the Hz it is recording on?
[19:08] <Guest12665> the higher the Hz, the clearer recording is.
[19:09] <silverghost> unity is the reason mint leapfrogged ubuntu lol
[19:09] <Varikonniemi> there is something fundmanetally wrong in x.org or in unity if a non-root application manages to make it unable to start the desktop session
[19:09] <joossee> How do I mount an encrypted home directory stored on a USB stick? I've tried the "Access your private information.dekstop" link and the ecryptfs-mount-private from the command line but nothing happens. It is an encrypted home directory that I need to mount from my current machine. Any help greatly appreciated.
[19:09] <benassi> Guest12665, well Idk.. How to check it?
[19:09] <pfdense> i hate unity
[19:09] <bekks> !ot > silverghost
[19:09] <oCean> silverghost: drop the offtopic discussion please
[19:09] <joossee> ubottu
[19:09] <LjL> can we please stick to Ubuntu support here? there is #ubuntu-offtopic for your Unity rants if you feel the need
[19:09] <joossee> ubottu !ecryptfs
[19:09] <silverghost> i don't wanna c pvt msg
[19:10] <Varikonniemi> isnt unity the msot integral and defining part of ubuntu
[19:10] <silverghost> lol
[19:10] <Guest12665> since we are geiing back on topic, i have some gateway problems in ubuntu server
[19:10] <silverghost> lloololol
[19:10] <psychogenik> yea unity is so ugly and unneeded thats why i use gnome fallback
[19:10] <pfdense> so it wont do dictation yet? what programs will it work with?
[19:11] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, and what's the problem?
[19:11] <DanielHoffman> i am wanting to set up a gateway to connect my Xbox to the internert
[19:11] <Varikonniemi> yeah good luck in generating positive experiences with his kind of community help. You should try kde channel, they actually listen to you and do not fuck around being dicks
[19:11] <DanielHoffman> btu when i do i get bombarted with errors
[19:11] <DanielHoffman> from the Xbox and not ubuntu
[19:12] <lupoSolitario88> ciaooo
[19:12] <pfdense> will ubuntu do nat 1:! or N:N yet?
[19:12] <Lunar_Lander> hi, I started using Gwibber today for Twitter and that worked good, but now I just started up, went online and it started loading the tweets that arrived in the meantime. Is there a way to switch Gwibber to "offline"?
[19:12] <DanielHoffman> what?
[19:13] <DanielHoffman> check preferences
[19:13] <LjL> pfdense: there is "julius" and "pocketsphinx" that are speech recognition engines, but i'm not aware of any simple programs to just use them :\
[19:13] <DanielHoffman> it may be there
[19:13] <Seveas> pfdense, you can do source and destination natting with the linux kernel since a loooooooooong time :)
[19:13] <IdleOne> sl33k_: did you run update and upgrade from terminal?
[19:13] <L3top> Ty LjL. Did not know about those.
[19:13] <Lunar_Lander> I found the option "start on startup" and unchecked it, but do I really have to restart to shut it down?
[19:14] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, until you give us a lot more details about what you've done and what the errors are, there's no way we can help you
[19:14] <pfdense> thanks sorry ima bit new to ubuntu just checkign it out
[19:14] <DanielHoffman> i followed the instructins here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/Connecting_to_XBox_Live_through_a_linux_computer_connected_to_a_wireless_LAN
[19:14] <blitz> Seveas, figured it out - had to use python setup.py install
[19:15] <blitz> dont know why I forgot
[19:15] <DanielHoffman> but when i do i get an MTU error and DNS Errors
[19:15] <ramkr> Lunar_Lander: right click on the icon (If its in the active tray) and say quit
[19:15] <Lunar_Lander> yes
[19:15] <Lunar_Lander> is that equivalent to logging out?
[19:15] <DanielHoffman> So my question is, is there a way to route traffic from the xbox to the internet and back
[19:16] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, those instructions suck
[19:16] <Ziber> in the file viewer (the ubuntu equivalent of windows explorer) how can i show hidden files and folders?
[19:16] <DanielHoffman> obviously
[19:16] <ramkr> nope it only closes the programme you clicked on
[19:16] <subz3r0> ctrl +h
[19:16] <IdleOne> Ziber: ctrl+h
[19:16] <Ziber> hey thanks :D
[19:16] <subz3r0> Ziber: its called "Nautilus"
[19:17] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, if you've edited rc.local, remove what you did, then reboot the computer
[19:17] <Ziber> yeah, couldnt remember.
[19:17] <DanielHoffman> ok
[19:17] <jacta> any alternatives to gtk-recordmytesktop - it seems to sqrew my recording with some graphicfailures
[19:17] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, then we'll do it properly :)
[19:17] <L3top> Ziber: I use kde, but if I am not mistaken if you hold down Ctrl in Nautilis, it will give you a list of hotkeys.
[19:17] <ramkr> subz3r0: i forgot how hard its to view hidden files in wincedos
[19:17] <DanielHoffman> ok
[19:17] <subz3r0> ramkr, ;)
[19:17] <L3top> s/Nautilis/Nautilus/
[19:18] <DanielHoffman> all it says is exit 0
[19:18] <caliandra> #ubuntu-es
[19:18] <Ziber> L3top: hm, alright
[19:18] <Seveas> ok, so you didn't get tho there in the instructions yet
[19:18] <Seveas> then just reboot to undo the runtime damage
[19:19] <Ziber> also, one of the reasons i installed wine in the first place is for itunes (i have an iphone, syncing is nice). is it better to do that through wine or through a VM, like in virtualbox?.
[19:19] <subz3r0> Ziber, doesnt matter. do what you like
[19:19] <ramkr> ZIber: doesn't rythym box work at syncing ??
[19:19] <subz3r0> or prefer
[19:20] <Ziber> ramkr: id rather itunes. i couldnt get syncing in rhythmbox to work.
[19:20] <Ziber> in your opinion, which option is better?
[19:20] <subz3r0> wine
[19:20] <ramkr> never really used wine, have used virtualbox and think that for those who must use wincedos it is a really good option
[19:21] <DanielHoffman> empty
[19:21] <Ziber> lets see if i can get itunes to install properly this time in wine then...
[19:21] <L3top> Ziber: 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] <ramkr> someone 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 issue
[19:21] <subz3r0> Ziber, you may want to test "playonlinux"
[19:22] <Ziber> is that the name of a package?
[19:22] <subz3r0> Ziber, just checked it. itunes works with playonlinux
[19:22] <subz3r0> itunes 7 or 10
[19:23] <glitsj16> jacta: there's istanbul in default repo (ogg only i believe) .. or tibesti which does multiple output formats (https://launchpad.net/tibesti) .. probably some others
[19:23] <subz3r0> its a frontend for wine. makes the installation easier
[19:23] <L3top> Ziber 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] <subz3r0> Ziber, check google... but I recommend using the DEB'S of POL. since the version of the softwarecenter is very old
[19:24] <jtls> i have a phantom drive i can't remove.  here is the dmesg. line 792. ever since i ive had this phantom ive been unable to format external usb hds.
[19:24] <jtls> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098875/
[19:24] <subz3r0> Ziber, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html | click on ubuntu
[19:24] <subz3r0> and follow the steps
[19:24] <DanielHoffman> can someone help
[19:25] <craigbass1976> http://pastebin.com/0jtNsX29  is my current setup.  If I'm on a windows box somewhere on the network, I'm fine.  If I'm on a linux box with something in /etc/fstab like this: //192.168.2.107/moulton-files   /home/craig/share  cifs umask=777,uid=1000,gid=1000   0 0  I create directories that are 775 (others can't write, user and group are good) and then I can not stick things in said directories.  If I create a new FILE, it's 777.
[19:25] <ramkr> jtls: what exactly do you mean phantom drive
[19:26] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, did you reboot the computer?
[19:26] <L3top> weird jtls. It looks like you had an SD drive in there at some point, and it was not cleanly unmounted, yet persisting through reboots is weird.
[19:26] <jacta> glitsj16, do you know if any got sound capture too also?
[19:26] <L3top> s/drive/card/\
[19:26] <DanielHoffman> not yet but i did reset networking
[19:26] <jtls> ramkr, see L3top
[19:26] <DanielHoffman> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'
[19:26] <sl33k_> IdleOne: doing it
[19:26] <jtls> L3top, ramkr , any suggestions. im at my wits end
[19:26] <L3top> jtls: it isn't in fstab or anything silly is it?
[19:27] <Seveas> that doesn't do much in the network-manager world of ubuntu
[19:27] <glitsj16> jacta: both do, tibesti is what i use the most (which doesn't mean i screencast daily) .. works ok for my moderate use
[19:27] <DanielHoffman> rebooted
[19:27] <jtls> no its not in fstab
[19:27] <DanielHoffman> Sevas: rebooted
[19:27] <Seveas> that quick?
[19:27] <DanielHoffman> yes, it is a server installation
[19:28] <Seveas> oh, that'd have been useful to say too
[19:28] <jtls> L3top,  it happened when a usb drive wouldnt format. im at a loss
[19:28] <Seveas> how did you configure the wifi?
[19:28] <DanielHoffman> i dont have wifi
[19:28] <DanielHoffman> i have 2 ethernet devices
[19:28] <Seveas> ok, how did you configure the first ethernet device? :)
[19:28] <DanielHoffman> through inet and dhcp
[19:28] <Seveas> (assuming the first one is connected to the router)
[19:29] <DanielHoffman> eth0 is the router and eth1 is USB
[19:29] <Seveas> ok, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces
[19:29] <DanielHoffman> what is pastebin?
[19:29] <Seveas> !pastebin | DanielHoffman
[19:30] <DanielHoffman> but i edit it with nano
[19:30] <DanielHoffman> if that helps
[19:30] <_val_> guys. Once again. I'm having problems after rebooting Ubuntu 12.04LTS. It hangs on grub and requires human intervention. How to avoid this so it starts automatically ?
[19:31] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, just pastebin the current contents
[19:31] <DanielHoffman> try /boot/grub/grub.cfg or menu.lst
[19:31] <ramkr> _val_: what problem exactly ?
[19:31] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, also pastebin the output of this command: ifconfig -a
[19:31] <DanielHoffman> auto eth0
[19:32] <dve> Hi, I hope someone can help. I have ubuntu server 12 LTS and have setup a zfs pool. A couple of times after restarting the box, a ton of files disappeared form the zfs store, but the hard disk usage suggests they are still there. Is there some way to retrieve the files?
[19:32] <DanielHoffman> auto eth0
[19:32] <DanielHoffman> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[19:32] <ramkr> pastebin - a place where you can paste thing and provide the url - saving bandwidth on chats etc :-)
[19:32] <jacta> glitsj16, 404 on ppa?
[19:32] <_val_> ramkr: as I said. How could I describe it better?
[19:32] <DanielHoffman> ok
[19:33] <DanielHoffman> dropbox
[19:33] <glitsj16> jacta: hang on, i'll check, have it installed some time ago
[19:33] <_val_> ramkr: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after reboot requires human intervantion to press [ENTER] to continue on grub.
[19:33] <ghostchick> dve, snapshot features and so?
[19:33] <_val_> This does not go automatically
[19:33] <jacta> glitsj16, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098894/
[19:33] <ramkr> what intervention do you have to do to get it going, what are the symtoms of the hand, blank screen, no display etc
[19:34] <ghostchick> _val_, did you made any change to the grub configuration ?
[19:34] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[19:34] <_val_> ramkr: I get the grub lines where I can select what kernel to boot
[19:34] <ramkr> then (net)
[19:34] <ramkr> *next
[19:34] <_val_> ghostchick: I did, on /etc/default/grub.cfg  after having those problems
[19:35] <_val_> ramkr: it won't start without pressing ENTER key. It stays on grub
[19:35] <glitsj16> jacta: my bad, tibesti's PPA hasn't got packages for precise .. either use the natty ones or use upubuntu's PPA, that has a precise version https://launchpad.net/~upubuntu-com/+archive/multimedia
[19:35] <L3top> jtls: Does /dev/sdb show up in either mount or sudo fdisk -l ?
[19:35] <auronandace> _val_: pastebin /etc/default/grub
[19:35] <DanielHoffman> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/72671460/interfaces.txt
[19:36] <DanielHoffman> my server and this computer are 2 computers.
[19:36] <_val_> auronandace: I can't now. NOt at office.
[19:36] <ghostchick> L3top,  I checked no
[19:36] <_val_> I've access to the server from the office only.
[19:36] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, ok, that interfaces file is wrong. I'll get you a better one
[19:37] <DanielHoffman> my server and this computer are 2 diferent computers
[19:37] <L3top> Well... that is a bit of a pickle. I wonder if forcefsck is somehow trying to perform an operation that it never completed and isnt cleared...
[19:37] <DanielHoffman> that is not EXACTLY what is says
[19:38] <jacta> glitsj16, and after adding it to list? whats the name? the same?
[19:38] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, then why don't you paste xactly what it says?
[19:38] <jacta> ah- found glitsj16
[19:38] <DanielHoffman> i know its wrong
[19:38] <Seveas> I'm also still waiting for the ifconfig -a output
[19:39] <glitsj16> jacta: no problem
[19:39] <ramkr> _val_ could the default time to boot for the first option be changed , tried looking at the grub file ??
[19:39] <jacta> glitsj16, ill try it, thanks a lot
[19:39] <sdfasdfsdffsddfs> test scorn
[19:40] <DanielHoffman> updated
[19:40] <_val_> ramkr: unlikely. I did not touch any grub option or else. IT was all default.
[19:41] <glitsj16> jacta: you're welcome, hope you get better results without glitches (which could be caused by something underneath these screencasters, but let's hope it works out)
[19:41] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, ok, this is a better interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098903/ (replace 42 with 2 if you want to stay in 192.168.2)
[19:41] <benassi_> Guys I have problem with my sound recording the problem is the same like this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1976107 (I didn't write subject on forum, just found it on google... not solved)
[19:41] <jacta> glitsj16, it was like a cross on the screen that had the same static picture - rest moving around :\
[19:41] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, once you updated your interfaces file, do /etc/init.d/networking restart and we'll do the next step
[19:42] <ki4ro> .
[19:42] <sdfasdfsdffsddfs> what a vale wad guv
[19:42] <Guest88155> how do i get the "xterm session"
[19:42] <_val_> Guest88155: by typing xterm
[19:42] <Seveas> (DanielHoffman: there are 2 more steps, and then xbox config)
[19:42] <ramkr> try and run sudo update-grub , it may try change the grub to reflect any changes that may have taken place in an update
[19:42] <DanielHoffman> ok and ok
[19:43] <_val_> ramkr: I did that yes.
[19:43] <Guest88155> no i mean when loging in, the option to get an terminal
[19:43] <ubuntu> skype
[19:43] <ki4ro_> .
[19:43] <_val_> Guest88155: ssh -X ...
[19:44] <ramkr> hmm.. sorry _val_ am not sure what to suggest, maybe reinstalling grub ?
[19:44] <DanielHoffman> ok
[19:44] <_val_> ramkr: I don't know. I made some changes according some tutorials I found on the net, and did  grub-update. After that I rebooted
[19:44] <auronandace> !skype | Guest25698
[19:44] <DanielHoffman> reset it
[19:44] <ramkr> go to the recovery option on boot up and update grub from there
[19:44] <_val_> ramkr: the funny thing is the server has a HW raid controller. Sometimes it starts sometimes it doesn/t
[19:44] <Guest88155> what dose ssh -X do?
[19:44] <glitsj16> jacta: not what you want doing a screencast indeed .. i just tried gtk-recordmydesktop, haven't used it for a while but looks very much improved compared to 10.10 days
[19:45] <_val_> Guest88155: man ssh
[19:45] <ramkr> also maybe after logging in (through the way you do) try and see if there are any newer kernel updates, apply them and then update grub
[19:45] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, ok, go into /etc/sysctl.conf, find the line with ip_forward in it (line 28 on ubuntu 12.04) and uncomment it
[19:45] <ghostchick> glitsj16,  screencast in unity or gnome-shell?
[19:45] <_val_> ramkr: thanks. Will try that tomorrow. Can't do anything at the moment.
[19:45] <_val_> Thanks for your time. Appriciated
[19:45] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, then run sudo sysctl -p
[19:46] <Seveas> that completes step 2
[19:46] <glitsj16> ghostchick: i use a mix of cairo-dock session and xfce
[19:46] <Guest88155> how is that going to help me log into xterm on startup?
[19:46] <aaron> Guest88155: forwards X11
[19:46] <Seveas> For step 3, I need the output of this command: sudo iptables-save
[19:46] <andrewh192> I have a Samsung Samsung SGH-A767 cell phone and have it connected via usb, and the phone is saying its connected, but I am not seeing it showing up as a device on the computer
[19:46] <ghostchick> glitsj16,  blind without the heavy ; )
[19:46] <L3top> jtls: Have you tried sticking an sd in there and force mounting it?
[19:46] <andrewh192> would there be a way to find out why it isn't showing up?
[19:46] <DanielHoffman> done
[19:46] <glitsj16> ghostchick: heh, something like that
[19:46] <benassi_> anyone know solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1976107
[19:46] <ki4ro_> .
[19:46] <aaron> Guest88155: generally if you want to bring a remote display locally and it's allowed on the endpoint side - you can -X to ssh and open X based applications locally (from the remote side)
[19:47] <ramkr> ok, hope it works out, am off too , Was nice to be on and chat a bit
[19:47] <Jordan_U> _val_: To always have exactly a 5 second timeout no matter what happens, add "timeout=5" to /boot/grub/custom.cfg (create the file if it doesn't already exist).

[19:49] <SkippersBoss> benassi_, I know i oing to be told of by Jordan_U  but removing pulse was the answer for me
[19:49] <aaron> Guest88155: -X is for forwarding X11 -
[19:49] <moon1> hi  all
[19:49] <Guest88155> what do i install to get an xterm session option on login
[19:50] <bekks> Guest88155: What is a xterm session about to be? I never heard about that.
[19:50] <ramkr> ! xterm
[19:51] <IdleOne> what!?
[19:51] <aaron> i cant believe ubottu just said that....
[19:51] <Seveas> that's the worst factoid ever
[19:51] <jollynips> lol
[19:51] <aaron> seriously
[19:51] <IdleOne> no kidding
[19:51] <ki4ro__> .
[19:51] <IdleOne> ubottu: forget xterm
[19:51] <ki4ro_> .
[19:51] <Guest88155> ubottu was always suck a nice bott....
[19:51] <SkippersBoss> has some one been messing with the bot ??
[19:52] <Guest88155> i suppose so lol
[19:52] <psychogenik> just installed ubuntu how do i hack?
[19:52] <IdleOne> SkippersBoss: probably a left over from the old days.
[19:52] <Seveas> psychogenik, take an axe to a tree and hack away :-)
[19:52] <psychogenik> OK
[19:52] <Seveas> IdleOne, no, it wasn't there in my time :)
[19:52] <ki4ro_> .
[19:53] <SkippersBoss> No comment as this still is the support channel
[19:53] <BluesKaj> psychogenik, ubuntu isn't for hacking , and what makes you think it's a haking OS?
[19:53] <L3top> I assume there is a log/blame for factoids
[19:53] <DanielHoffman> Sevas: done
[19:53] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, For step 3, I need the output of this command: sudo iptables-save
[19:53] <psychogenik> my friend said if i used linux i could hack anything
[19:53] <Guest88155> psychogenik, dont waste your time here, these people wont let you learn anything cool
[19:53] <BluesKaj> some friend ..he's totally mistaken
[19:54] <DanielHoffman> hold on
[19:54] <rhizmoe> okay, 12.04...what are my options for a compiz-free existence?
[19:54] <Guest88155> ^  told ya lol
[19:54] <okay> rhizmoe: okay
[19:54] <Seveas> psychogenik, you don't need linux for that. You do need to know what you're doing though, and you don't seem to :-)
[19:54] <rhizmoe> okay: okay
[19:54] <benassi_> SkippersBoss, well I don't understand.. what exactly I need to do
[19:54] <benassi_> :/
[19:54] <Seveas> rhizmoe, gnome3, kde, xfce, lxde, e17
[19:54] <aaron> whats a hacking os? lolZ (please dont say BT)
[19:54] <DanielHoffman> no output
[19:55] <rhizmoe> Seveas: hm, i'm thinking gnome3 depends on compiz? or just unity?
[19:55] <ramkr> rhizmoe: metacity, xfwm4, kwin
[19:55] <SkippersBoss> benassi_, I have had these problems in the past. Recording in pulse is a hit and miss event
[19:55] <BluesKaj> aaron, that's the point , there aren't any afaik
[19:55] <aaron> i know =)
[19:55] <DanielHoffman> Sevas: nothing has been configured yet
[19:55] <aaron> BluesKaj: i thought i may have been losing brain cells or memory or such =) thanks for confirming
[19:55] <glitsj16> rhizmoe: xfce's window manager (xfwm) does composite nicely in a limited way compared to compiz, less things that can go wrong i suppose
[19:55] <shah`> window$ is hacking os
[19:55] <shah`> opss
[19:55] <shah`> *for hacking :P
[19:56]  * SkippersBoss has gone back to alsa full stop. maybe not as slick as pulse but works for me
[19:56] <aaron> for getting hacked... @ shah`
[19:56] <ghostchick> rhizmoe, gnome3, depends on mutter
[19:56] <psychogenik> lol
[19:56] <IdleOne> !ot | everybody
[19:56] <aaron> blah sorry for my human'ness- brb
[19:56] <DanielHoffman> Sevas: The output is nothing
[19:56] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, ok, then please tell me the current output of ifconfig -a
[19:56] <Seveas> and I'll cook up some iptables rules for you that you can stick in /etc/rc.local
[19:57] <benassi_> SkippersBoss, man.. I really don't understand what are you trying to say :S :/
[19:57] <BluesKaj> SkippersBoss,lse rides on top od alsa , if you can run without pulse, so much the better , less audio processing
[19:57] <DanielHoffman> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/72671460/interfaces.txt
[19:57] <DanielHoffman> sorry
[19:57] <DanielHoffman> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/72671460/ifconfig.txt
[19:58] <SkippersBoss> BluesKaj, please assist benassi_ in removing pulse
[19:58] <BluesKaj> pulse rides on top of alsa , rather
[19:58] <SkippersBoss> he 's the one with the problem
[19:58] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, ok, one minute
[19:58] <DanielHoffman> ok
[19:59] <BluesKaj> benassi_, do you use a cpi soundcard or onboard
[19:59] <BluesKaj> pci rather
[20:00] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  http://pastebin.com/gBqQvC9Q here are info from terminal
[20:00] <benassi_> I think it is build in on motherboard
[20:01] <BluesKaj> ok benassi_ what's the problem with pulseaudio ?
[20:02] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, add the contents of this to /etc/rc.local just above exit 0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098956/
[20:02] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, then reboot to make sure it all works after reboot
[20:02] <dandaman1> anyone know an ftp client that does file segmentation?
[20:03] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  sound is just bad... I don't know the good word in english to describe it ... but it just has noise and that
[20:03] <maniek> siemka
[20:03] <L3top> filezilla I would think dandaman1.
[20:03] <DanielHoffman> ok
[20:03] <benassi_> BluesKaj, on win7 it is working perfect
[20:03] <dandaman1> L3top: it doesnt, or at least i havent been able how to figure out how to get it to do that
[20:04] <L3top> dandaman1: I guess my question would be... why arent you using rsync etc.
[20:04] <psychogenik> Richard Stallman said Ubuntu was bloatware, botnet and takes away our freedoms...is this true?
[20:04] <dandaman1> L3top: downloading off an ftp service
[20:04] <Seveas> psychogenik, please keep the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:04] <dandaman1> does rsync work with ftp?
[20:04] <BluesKaj> benassi_, so what have you tried so far , checked alsamixer in the terminal fist of all?
[20:04] <L3top> psychogenik: for the third time... this is a support channel. You are in offtopic... keep it there.
[20:05] <blueyed> Anyone using Ubuntu 12.04 on a new 13" MacBook Pro?
[20:05] <L3top> !anyone | blueyed
[20:05] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: When I boot it says "Bad argument udp"
[20:05] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, oops, made a mistake
[20:06] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  what is alsamixer?
[20:06] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, replace $WAN_IF with eth0 in the last line I gave you
[20:06] <DanielHoffman> is WAN_IF the eth1
[20:06] <DanielHoffman> ok
[20:06] <vicocito> Hola amigos de este chat
[20:06] <Seveas> then reboot again :)
[20:06] <blueyed> I am considering to install Ubuntu on my work MBP 13" - any experiences with that? (/cc L3top)
[20:06] <Seveas> Hola vicocito
[20:06] <Seveas> !es
[20:06] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  just looking through ubuntu forums..
[20:07] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: i also changed xbox_ip to 192.168.2.1
[20:07] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, that is wrong
[20:07] <Seveas> that is the ip of your computer
[20:07] <BluesKaj> benassi_,  in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM,  Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key'  then turn those controls up to the max.
[20:07] <Seveas> xbox_ip should be the ip of the xbox, which should be 192.168.2.2
[20:08] <DanielHoffman> ok
[20:08] <DanielHoffman> typo
[20:08] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: reboot?
[20:08] <Seveas> yeah
[20:08] <L3top> No blueyed... but a quick google search will reveal the answer. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-review/
[20:09] <benassi_> well BluesKaj  when I unmute one.. it just bring noise .. nothing is played on pc..
[20:09] <benassi_> only one is muted
[20:10] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: i am guessing Manual IP setup for the xbox
[20:10] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, yeah
[20:10] <Seveas> ip 192.168.2.2, gateway 192.168.1.1
[20:10] <BluesKaj> benassi_, ok , in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel  , if the command is successful there will be no output
[20:11] <Seveas> subnet mask 255.255.255.0
[20:11] <DanielHoffman> DNS?
[20:11] <Seveas> 8.8.8.8
[20:11] <Joe4> who is an expert in ubuntu
[20:11] <Seveas> !anyone | Joe4
[20:11] <DanielHoffman> Google DNS, nice choice
[20:11] <benassi_> BluesKaj, hey.. just found one more muted... when I unmute it.. I can here my self over the headphones.. really clear as I speak.. even if I close the alsemixer
[20:11] <rhizmoe> 2.2 dg 1.1? is that a joke?
[20:11] <DanielHoffman> 8.8.4.4 for secondary?
[20:12] <Seveas> yeah, that'll work
[20:12] <DanielHoffman> brb, test it out
[20:12] <BluesKaj> benassi_, do the speakers work ?
[20:12] <benassi_> yes
[20:12] <benassi_> just microphone
[20:13] <benassi_> is always turned on right now.. and it is pointed direct to the speakers
[20:13] <BluesKaj> ok , try a youtube video with the speakers turned , benassi_
[20:13] <BluesKaj> turned on
[20:14] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  it is like karaoke xD
[20:14] <xerxes> hi i dont know if someone of you guys out there know about this, but ive read about cable TV modems running via coaxial cable, that there is possibilities to unlock them
[20:14] <DanielHoffman> when i ifconfig now, the eth1 ip has reset to nothing
[20:14] <benassi_> I can here and sing BluesKaj
[20:14] <xerxes> and i have a question regarding cisco EPC2425 if anyone knows how to unlock the advanced settings tab, i tried various types of passwords even resetted it, and tried with blank password but still i get unathorized :/

[20:15] <TheVinci> Not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but here goes. I've an unconventional monitor set up, they're both upside down. I've figured out how to rotate the display 180 degrees in an actual logged in session, but is there any way to rotate the log in screen?
[20:15] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: when i ifconfig now, the eth1 ip has reset to nothing
[20:15] <Seveas> DanielHoffman, that's because I gave you another wrong thing. In the interfaces file, under auto eth1, change iface eth0 to iface eth1
[20:15] <DanielHoffman> but it works
[20:15] <DanielHoffman> THANK YOU!!!!!!
[20:15] <Seveas> really? that's *weird* :)
[20:15] <Seveas> anyway, glad to see it worked :)
[20:15] <Seveas> enjoy xboxing
[20:16] <DanielHoffman> myou too
[20:16] <DanielHoffman> you too
[20:16] <TheVinci> No way to rotate the log in screen guys?
[20:17] <BluesKaj> benassi_, did you try youtube ?
[20:17] <benassi_> yes.. I can hear and sing
[20:18] <benassi_> I touched now something in alesamixer
[20:18] <benassi_> and now I don't have sound
[20:18] <TheVinci> Would lightdm manager or whatever its called allow me to rotate the login screen?
[20:19] <TheVinci> Is there a .config file I can change a setting in? Any one?!
[20:20] <Joe1> i want to slave a windows xp HD with Ubuntu 11.04, when i boot on the machine i find an error: out of partition grub rescue> . what can i do?
[20:21] <ghostchick> TheVinci, for xorg rotation dive up in the configurations utilities of your graphic card, or tweak the file
[20:22] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | Joe1
[20:22] <Jordan_U> Joe1: Why 11.04 rather than 12.04 LTS?
[20:22] <TheVinci> Ghostchick, do you know if there is a specific file or directory for the login screen's xorg conf?
[20:23] <trism> TheVinci: did you configure it with System Settings/Displays? If so I usually workaround that with: sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/lightdm/.config/; don't know if there is a better way (seems like there should be)
[20:23] <TheVinci> My unity session is already rotated.
 that is wat is installed in the machine
[20:25] <Jordan_U> Joe1: OK, since 11.04 is almost EOL, I would recommend upgrading soon. As to your problem, please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt which it produces.
[20:25] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  can you help me configure this to work http://www.zaslike.com/files/yr0faizbevbwieebmw57.png
[20:25] <okay> I'm still running 4.10
[20:27] <Jordan_U> okay: Hopefully it's nowhere near an internet connection or any other type of interaction with another computer.
[20:27] <trism> TheVinci: I understand that, I am just trying to determine how to configured it. The Displays app only configures it for your user, so as a workaround I copy the settings to the lightdm user's home (not sure why it isn't a system level config file instead)
[20:27] <okay> Jordan_U: okay
[20:27] <trism> TheVinci: sorry, how to = how you
[20:28] <BluesKaj> benassi_, can you take screenshot of alsamixer and post it on imagebin?
[20:28] <TheVinci> Well I configured my session using "displays" option.
[20:29] <TheVinci> But I'll try copying the config to the lightdm directory
[20:29] <TheVinci> That could work.
[20:29] <benassi_> I alredy put it on http://www.zaslike.com/files/yr0faizbevbwieebmw57.png
[20:30] <benassi_> same as imagebin

[20:31] <TyStef33> hi there
[20:33] <BluesKaj> benassi_, your front mic is muted , if that's what youre usng for karaoke
[20:34] <somethin> ca
[20:35] <L3top> benassi_: use the left and right arrows to navigate between devices. Press the letter M to mute or unmute. Up or down arrow to change levels up and down.
[20:37] <__jpmorgan> under the envelope icon on ub12.04 desktop i see ubuntu 1 and chat, both have little white dots next to them. what do the dots mean?
[20:38] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  If I turn on front mic I will get huge noise
[20:40] <irc2samus> hi guys, since today's update my touchpad has different sensitivity from the x-axis and the y-axis any way to set it back?
[20:41] <trism> TheVinci: hmm, it seems to work with unity-greeter but not lightdm-gtk-greeter so it must need gnome-settings-daemon running or similar (don't know what greeter you use)
[20:42] <ghostchick> irc2samus,  checked the touchpad settings in gnome-control-center?
[20:43] <irc2samus>  ghostchick yes but it doesn't specify separate sensitivities for each axis
[20:43] <jollynips> I'm using classic [no effects] gnome in 12.04 and I cant customise the panels, ive tried using the alt + RMB, which yields zilch, and i dont know what the super button is, help plz? :)
[20:43] <ki4ro_> irc2samus: Check Mouse and Touchpad Settings under System Settings under the gear in the top right corner
[20:43] <trism> jollynips: the super button is the windows button, if you are using the compiz version, alt+super+right click
[20:43] <ghostchick> irc2samus,  gsynaptics maybe
[20:44] <__jpmorgan> what do the small white arrows(?) signify, inside the dropdown menu under the envelope (ubuntu12.04 desktop). the arrows are pointing at chat & ubuntu 1. i dont want to run either, but clicking on either entry just runs the app
[20:44] <jollynips> trism: ive tried that, doesnt work
[20:44] <__jpmorgan> so what are those little white arrows telling me plz?
[20:44] <TheVinci> trism, I'm pretty sure I'm just using unity-greeter. I never changed it from install.
[20:44] <trism> jollynips: then I would edit the panel with the (no effects) version with alt+right click and switch back
[20:45] <trism> __jpmorgan: the little arrows signify if the app is running or not
[20:46] <jollynips> trism: huh? no keyboard and mouse combo is working, do you mean switch back to unity?
[20:46] <__jpmorgan> trism - thank you. is there any reason i would want either app up? they are on by default it seems. and if not, best way to turn them off? this machine aint fast
[20:46] <trism> jollynips: no, the Gnome Classic (no effects) version, then compiz shouldn't capture the combo and alt+right click will let you edit gnome-panel
[20:46] <TheVinci> trism: how would I go about finding the settings for unity-greeter?
[20:47] <trism> jollynips: unless you are having other issues, and then I am not sure
[20:48] <jollynips> trism: yup im using the no effects version, nvm ill just delve through the internet a bit more
[20:48] <trism> __jpmorgan: if you use empathy for im, you may want chat running, otherwise I would uninstall empathy to be rid of that item. The other is for ubuntu-one, if you don't use that you can safely uninstall it, but I forget the exact package for that at the moment
[20:48] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  which option from theses is forceing sound to go on speakers ?
[20:49] <__jpmorgan> i am not using empathy for anything. i guess uninstalling it would accomplish the goal of not running it. heh
[20:49] <BluesKaj> benassi_, unplug the headphones
[20:50] <trism> TheVinci: unity-greeter uses gsettings to store settings, the best way I know of changing them is using gsettings overrides, but there are not settings for rotating the monitor there
[20:50] <TheVinci> Grrrr....
[20:50] <ns68> I have some troubles to see the Unity sortcuts screen when I hold the Super button in 12.04. Any suggestions ?
[20:50] <TheVinci> Its not even a huge deal, it would just be nice for the continuity to flow from login to session in the right orientation :/
[20:50] <trism> TheVinci: but copying the ~/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/lightdm/.config did work for me (it was kind of difficult to navigate with my monitor upside-down though)
[20:51] <irc2samus> ghostchick: I'm trying that but it doesn't have any option for what I'm looking for
[20:51] <irc2samus> at least from what it recognized
[20:51] <dreamy_> can i aks a question about hardware? in #hardware no one answered
[20:51] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  I unpluged the headphones but mic is still pluged.. what next?
[20:52] <BluesKaj> benassi_, unplug the mic , turn the mic volume down
[20:52] <benassi_> ok what next
[20:53] <jollynips> trism:do you have any idea if installing gnome-shell provides a GUI for configuring panels?
[20:53] <irc2samus> ghostchick, ki4ro_ I've installed tpconfig and ran "sudo tpconfig --reset" and it fixed it :)
[20:54] <ki4ro_> irc2samus: Congrats!
[20:54] <BluesKaj> benassi_, alt+f2 , pavucontrol , check the output options , chhoose the setting that works
[20:54] <TheVinci> trism: I'll try that, hang on, verdict pending.
[20:54] <trism> jollynips: it doesn't, the gnome-shell panel isn't easily configurable (you have to edit the css files manually, etc)
[20:54] <andrewh192> what is the easiest way to transfer files over a wifi network to and from two computers running ubuntu...
[20:54] <ghostchick> irc2samus,  happy you fixed it, but it still bother me that it changed by itself
[20:54] <jollynips> trism: ah kk, thanks
[20:54] <trism> jollynips: do you have gconf-editor installed? my only other though is that one of the metacity config entries might be messed up
[20:55] <ghostchick> andrew192, nitroshare, nfs, samba  pick your poison
[20:55] <andrewh192> how do i change if there is a thing on ubuntu the "workgroup" setting
[20:55] <benassi_> well there is no result for pavucontrol
[20:55] <irc2samus> ghostchick, ki4ro_ no it changed a bit but it's still more sensitive for the y-axis, not really fixed :(
[20:56] <ghostchick> ^ andrewh192
[20:56] <benassi_> well there is no result for pavucontrol BluesKaj
[20:56] <Guest99703> I'm looking for a desktop publishing program for 12.04 LTS 64 bit to make something like a birthday card.  Calligra is nice, but doesn't seem to be enough.  Any suggestions?
[20:56] <trism> jollynips: /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier , I seem to remember someone having problems when that button wasn't <Alt>
[20:56] <TheVinci> trism: IT WORKED!! Thank you so much for your help!
[20:56] <trism> TheVinci: excellent! you're welcome
[20:56] <BluesKaj> benassi_, open a terminal, sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[20:56] <TheVinci> I love ubuntu for these two reasons, excellent system and highly customizable, and great community support!
[20:56] <andrewh192> ghostchick: well, which ever will get me so that i can transfer files from my laptop to my desktop over the wifi network
[20:56] <jollynips> trism: hang on a sec
[20:57] <Joyal> Hello
[20:57] <raafat> hi
[20:57] <TheVinci> trsim: now... this may be a long shot... but any way to do the same for my grub screen? ;D
[20:57] <Guest99703> Joyal: Hello
[20:57] <ghostchick> andrewh192,  try nitroshare it has a simpler gui
[20:57] <andrewh192> ghostchick: can i download that from the software center?
[20:57] <Joyal> I am very new to Ubuntu.. i am using a ZTE AC8700 I dont know how to connect to internet
[20:58] <Joyal> please help me
[20:58] <jollynips> trism: where is apps/ ?
[20:58] <NewWorld> Joyal:  Are you connecting wirelessly or through ethernet?
[20:59] <Joyal> it is wireless modem
[20:59] <Joyal> BSNL
[20:59] <NewWorld> Joyal:  Can you see the network manager icon in the system tray in Ubuntu?
[21:00] <Joyal> s.. I tried connecting with the Mobile Option.. which had all the parameters like User:       Password:               and Phone
[21:01] <Joyal> but that is of no use
[21:01] <Joyal> i saw many guys posting something like wvdial.cofig and something like that
[21:01] <Joyal> As i am very new to this environment i cannot understand what they say
[21:02] <trism> jollynips: in the gconf-editor treeview on the left
[21:02] <BB42> Hi, can someone explain me short what the Windows installer does (Background is that I want to avoid having Ubuntu on another file system than ext4... espacially not on NTFS)
[21:02] <NewWorld> Joyal:  You know the network manager? Where you can scan for wireless networks?
[21:02] <Joyal> This is not a wireless network
[21:02] <ghostchick> BB42,  you speak of wubi?
[21:02] <Joyal> it is a DataCard
[21:03] <MonkeyDust> BB42  you mean wubi?
[21:03] <rypervenche> BB42: It will be on NTFS if you use Wubi.
[21:03] <jollynips> trism: sorry but i have no idea where that is, im in a gnome-classic session right now if that helps
[21:03] <BB42> ok thank you
[21:03] <NewWorld> Joyal:  oh sorry, I misunderstood. Then I don't know. Maybe search on the forums
[21:03] <Joyal> forums are very technical
[21:03] <bekks> BB42: wubi will create a container file on NTFS, and inside that container, there will be a linux filesystem.
[21:04] <BB42> Means it won't create a new Partition on the HDD?
[21:04] <trism> jollynips: oh, in a terminal: gconf-editor (I think the menu entry is under Accessories), it isn't installed by default though since most apps use gsettings now, not metacity yet though
[21:04] <Joyal> they speak greek and latin.. something like kernal, root, wvdial.. etc
[21:04] <escott> BB42, correct no partition
[21:04] <BB42> Ok thats bad thank you again
[21:04] <jtlsghost> ghostchick,
[21:04] <trism> jollynips: though my thought now is if you haven't messed with the settings, they are probably okay, so I'm not really sure why alt+right click isn't working
[21:04] <okay> trism: okay
[21:04] <trism> jollynips: unless this is an upgrade
[21:05] <[snake]> ahh man. I thought I had it.
[21:05] <[snake]> oh wait wrong channel.
[21:05] <NewWorld> Joyal:  Sorry, data card? Which model?
[21:05] <cocuneana73> ciao
[21:05] <cocuneana73> !list
[21:05] <[snake]> Does anyone in here know about urlsnarf. If so do you know how to get it to work haha?
[21:05] <Joyal> ZTE AC8700
[21:06] <Joyal> ZTE AC8700
[21:06] <jollynips> trism: nope, i installing compizconfig settings manager once to chance a hotkey to allow a shortcut in Blender, wonder if i somehow changed super then
[21:06] <Joyal> ZTE AC8700
[21:06] <Joyal> ZTE AC8700
[21:06] <FloodBot1> Joyal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:06] <[snake]> Why was Joyal freaking out?
[21:06] <Murd0ck> So,.. I think I finally figured out why I hate Unity so much
[21:06] <trism> jollynips: maybe, though ccsm shouldn't mess with the (no effects) session
[21:06] <Murd0ck> laggness aside
[21:07] <benassi_> BluesKaj, now I can't here music from youtube..:/
[21:08] <benassi_> BluesKaj,  fixes it.. it doesn't recongnise my mi.. It just recognise my mic from camera
[21:08] <BluesKaj> benassi_, open a terminal , sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ,
[21:08] <MonkeyDust> Murd0ck  unity is not the only DE or shell, you're free to use something else
[21:09] <subz3r0> Murd0ck, I feel with u ;)
[21:09] <Murd0ck> Well,.. when  I first got into ubuntu it was 9.10
[21:09] <Murd0ck> not unity
[21:09] <Murd0ck> no*
[21:09] <NewWorld> Joyal:  yeah looks like it's not an easy problem to solve. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317056   . Sorry I know nothing about Data Cards :S
[21:09] <BB42> neither in 8:-D
[21:09] <subz3r0> !ot > Murd0ck
[21:10] <subz3r0> use the offtopic chan...
[21:11] <Murd0ck> lets go to off-chat i guess see you there
[21:12] <jollynips> trism: if i can't get it to work by tomorrow evening i might just try installing gnome3, not that i particularly like the looks of it but it may at least be configurable, tho i can easily live with unity for now
[21:13] <MonkeyDust> jollynips  unity is a shell over gnome3
[21:13] <BB42> is ubuntu capable to work as Dom0 for xen hypervisor at the moment?
[21:13] <aethelrick> jollynips, 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 stable
[21:13] <aethelrick> jollynips, and I'm not a unity fan :S
[21:14] <escott> BB42, should be able to
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> BB42  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[21:14] <jollynips> MonkeyDust: im just starting to learn the CLI in linux but i dont really know what what you said means, and aethelrick. thats a bummer, i think ill just leave it then
[21:15] <DanielHoffman> Seveas: Im back but i cant connect to an xbox live paarty
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> jollynips  unity *is* gnome3 with eye candy
[21:15] <bekks> BB42: Instead of XEN, I'd suggest using Virtualbox.
[21:16] <aethelrick> jollynips, 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 stable
[21:16] <jollynips> MonkeyDust: ah i get you
[21:17] <BB42> bekks: 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 MonkeyDust
[21:18] <escott> BB42, KVM is preferred over xen by many kernel developers, and is also based on libvirt
[21:18] <alexandre> try Qemu
[21:18] <Mattias> Hm, 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 OS
[21:19] <Mattias> I've only used virtualbox/vmware/kvm
[21:19] <Mattias> xen looks so strange :P
[21:19] <BB42> kvm sounds quit interesting
[21:19] <Mattias> But I heard Xen is awesome
[21:20] <BB42> Xen is strange... last time I tried to install it Xen Hypervisor for Private use was not realy ready made some nice dumbs :-D
[21:20] <bekks> BB42: Virtualbox is KVM in better :)
[21:20] <escott> BB42, 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 developers
[21:21] <Mattias> oh
[21:23] <Mattias> it 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?
[21:24] <Mattias> Which scared me from testing out xen on my desktop comp :P
[21:24] <BB42> :-D studiing Computer Science forced me to have a second computer which I can blow up without loosing data
[21:25] <trism> jollynips: did you check /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier in gconf-editor? that is my only other idea (it should be <Alt>, if it is, that isn't the problem)
[21:26] <banyantree> i have virtual machines =)
[21:26] <jollynips> trism: ill have a look, think i need to download it first
[21:26] <ns68_> Hello World
[21:27] <BB42> so I will be installing Ubuntu on hardware of main Pc so I'll be offline thank you all again and to those who are from EMEA a good night
[21:27] <[snake]> ns68_, hello
[21:27] <__jpmorgan> any suggestions as to where empathy is being autolaunched on my 12.04 machine? its running on my desktop and i'd prefer it didnt. i'd rather not have to unintstall the program tho
[21:28] <[snake]> __jpmorgan, I think on the little icon where you go to log out there is a "startup applications" bit
[21:29] <__jpmorgan> snake - only thing in startup apps is screensaver
[21:30] <jollynips> trism: sorry how do i get there in terminal? cant find it in gui
[21:30] <[snake]> __jpmorgan, perhaps it's the actuall program settings that's causing it.
[21:30] <[snake]> jollynips, alt+f2 type in terminal is one way
[21:30] <[snake]> jollynips, err... like gnome-terminal or something
[21:31] <ghostchick> __jpmorgan,  sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[21:31] <jollynips> snake: cheers worked
[21:31] <[snake]> ghostchick, thanks... i had no clue :p
[21:31] <__jpmorgan> ghost - where will the items be displayed now? btw thx for all the info
[21:31] <[snake]> jollynips, your welcome
[21:31] <zteam> Hi guys
[21:32] <[snake]> zteam, hi
[21:32] <Zetta> [snake]: you 're*
[21:32] <zteam> anybody here knows how repartition a usb-stick?
[21:32] <jollynips> trism: sorry what was the pathname again? it's dissapeared into the ever growing mountains of text in irssi
[21:32] <MonkeyDust> zteam  gparted does the job
[21:32] <[snake]> Zetta, ahh... you got me!
[21:32] <trism> jollynips: /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier, it should be set to <Alt>
[21:33] <zteam> MonkeyDust, I have tried gparted, but it doesn't seem to support usb-sticks
[21:33] <ghostchick> __jpmorgan,  in the same program you opened before
[21:33] <escott> zteam, it does. perhaps you have a u3 stick?
[21:34] <jollynips> trism: aha nope it says <shift><super>
[21:34] <usr13> zteam: Sure.  fdisk
[21:34] <ghostchick> [snake], you are welcome, (source: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html)
[21:34] <trism> jollynips: ahh, that is probably your problem, try setting it back to <Alt>
[21:34] <usr13> zteam: Same way you re-partition any other drive.
[21:34] <zteam> escott, yes, I have, however the u3-files are all gone
[21:34] <__jpmorgan> i will give it a try and see what u mean
[21:35] <zteam> usr13, okey, never used fdisk throught
[21:35] <benassi> BluesKaj,  are you there?
[21:35] <jollynips> trism: yeeeeeeeeeeeey! :) thanks
[21:35] <escott> zteam, did you use the sandisk utility to remove the u3?
[21:35] <trism> jollynips: no problem
[21:35] <usr13> zteam: Pretty easy really.  Try it.
[21:36] <usr13> zteam: What is it sdb ?
[21:36] <BluesKaj> benassi, yes
[21:36] <usr13> zteam: Why do you want to repartition it though?
[21:36] <zteam> escott,  nope, I just did delete those file, after backing the mup
[21:36] <usr13> zteam: What is your end goal?
[21:37] <benassi> BluesKaj,  do you have time for timeviewer.. I really want to set this up to make tutorials for youtube :/
[21:37] <escott> zteam, well a true u3 does weird things and presents itself to the os in weird ways
[21:37] <zteam> usr13, well for some reason my Bios refuses to boot from the usb-drive no matter how hard I try
[21:37] <zteam> usr13, it works quite randomly
[21:37] <usr13> zteam: I dont think it is a matter of partitioning but more of the MBR
[21:38] <sirellyn> I need someone to help troubleshooting why my sound has failed in KDE
[21:38] <usr13> zteam: or something with that particular computer.
[21:38] <BluesKaj> benassi, no , sorry i don't
[21:38] <usr13> sirellyn: alsamixer
[21:38] <sirellyn> I used that
[21:38] <sirellyn> still no sound
[21:39] <zteam> usr13, after googling around a little bit I found an article suggesting that you can fool bios to treat the usb-stick as a usb-harddrive by adding a second partition to it
[21:39] <usr13> sirellyn: look at alsamixer.  Do you see anything turned down or muted?  Do you see your sound chip properly identified in the upper left?  etc.
[21:40] <sirellyn> All channels that can be are on full, none suspicous are muted
[21:40] <usr13> zteam: Never heard of that, (but I certainly don't know everythig.
[21:40] <zteam> usr13, Well, I tried the usb-stick in another computer too, and it works really great, every time, but this machine will only boot from it some time
[21:40] <sirellyn> Nvidia MCP89 HDMI   for chip
[21:40] <usr13> zteam: You can certainly creat two partitions on it easily enough.
[21:40] <sirellyn> HDA NVidia         for card
[21:41] <Praxi-mobile> Ooh nice. Steam on Ubuntu 12.04
[21:41] <zteam> escott, maybe, but the usb-stick is reformated by unetbootin a couple of times
[21:41] <usr13> zteam: sudo fdisk -l   #will show you what you have, (all drives).
[21:42] <escott> zteam, when you plug it in what does dmesg report as being plugged in. u3 will usually report two devices one a CD drive the other a usb mass storage. ive never gotten a u3 to boot
[21:42] <jollynips> trism: one more thing, is it worth investigating what <super> is then, cos i tried shift + winkey + right click and it didnt work, wonder if its cos when i set my system up i didnt let it detect winkeys i think
[21:42] <ozair> hi guys, i'm a new ubuntu user and i'm having problems with my graphics card. it's an intel gma3150, but it get's recognized as the wrong card under the "details" app.
[21:42] <usr13> sirellyn: Do you have working speakers or headphones plugged into active / proper port?
[21:44] <ozair> can someone help me? youtube videos lag even on 360p which is really sad.
[21:44] <sirellyn> yeah I just checked.  It's plugged into a splitter but the other computer on the splitter (when you switch to it) works fine
[21:44] <sirellyn> so the speakers and splitter work
[21:44] <usr13> sirellyn: Ok  Let's do a test:
[21:45] <usr13> sirellyn: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp   #See if you hear anything.  (Ctrl-c to stop the noise, probably not best to have speakers turned up all the way right at first.)
[21:45] <usr13> sirellyn: Tell us if you get an error.
[21:46] <sirellyn> dev dsp doesn't exist
[21:46] <sirellyn> bash: /dev/dsp: Permission denied
[21:46] <zteam> escott, any easy way to filter this out with the device name?  tried dmesg | grep /dev/sdc1 but I don't find anything then
[21:46] <BB42> even with sudo
[21:47] <escott> zteam, just dmesg | tail. if its really u3 you will see multiple devices listed
[21:47] <usr13> sirellyn: Good clues.  Is this the original user that was created when you first intalled?  Or have you added a new user?
[21:47] <hololight> I want to set up a ntfs partition to auto mount when i boot (in fstab), but when i try it's group amd owner is always root.... what am i missing?
[21:47] <sirellyn> original user
[21:47] <usr13> sirellyn: (It appears that the user you are logged into does not have permission to use audio.)
[21:47] <escott> hololight, you would have to specify the uid, gid options to the mount
[21:48] <sirellyn> there is no dsp on the dev list
[21:48] <sirellyn> at all
[21:48] <DANYAL> when I Type "Last" , last: /var/log/wtmp: No such file or directory and Perhaps this file was removed by the operator to prevent logging last info
[21:48] <DANYAL> how to solve
[21:48] <trism> jollynips: it might just be that changing that key breaks editing the gnome-panel completely, you could try xev to see if the key shows up, or log into unity and see if the dash appears when you hit the win key
[21:48] <BB42> usr13:  /dev/dsp seems even not acessible with root account
[21:49] <ypaq> hey, i'm having a problem with a fresh ubuntu 12.04 installation.  i'm using chef to bootstrap the system. the bootstrap script runs  an apt-get -q -y update / upgrade which apparently installs a more  recent version of grub. the installation process opens a console  dialog about a grub configuration file which was changes asking  which file to use. the problem is i cannot interact with this
[21:49] <sirellyn> Sound was working up until two days ago when it froze in KDE while trying to log out.  I restarted, and no sound ever since.
[21:49] <ypaq>  blcking idialog during the knife run. anyone an idea what to do?
[21:49] <sirellyn> I've rebooted multiple times
[21:49] <usr13> BB42: Well, maybe sirellyn just needs to uninstall pulse
[21:49] <zteam> escott, only thing I see i'ts complaining about a cd in my drive :p
[21:49] <sirellyn> I can try that.  I tried a reinstall of pulse
[21:49] <BB42> sounds as an idea
[21:49] <sirellyn> but maybe uninstall first, then reinstall.
[21:49] <usr13> sirellyn:  grep audio /etc/group
[21:50] <sirellyn> audio:x:29:pulse
[21:50] <jollynips> trism: kk ill try it another time, thanks for the help
[21:50] <zteam> escott, http://pastebin.com/N0T28iLT
[21:51] <usr13> sirellyn: just uninstall pulseaudio
[21:51] <sirellyn> and reinstall?  I'll try that.  I'll try the uninstall purge option.
[21:51] <escott> zteam, hotplug the usb then run dmesg | tail. if your cd is spamming the logs then you'll need to look back further into the history to catch it
[21:51] <sirellyn> Thanks for the help btw.  This has been driving my crazy for last few days of google searchin
[21:51] <usr13> sirellyn: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[21:52] <sirellyn> then apt-get install pulseaudio ?
[21:52] <usr13> sirellyn: No
[21:52] <sirellyn> ok
[21:53] <sirellyn> what next then.
[21:53] <usr13> sudo apt-get install sox
[21:54] <iconcur> I know this isn't a ubuntu question but just trying to crowd source for any ideas. I have 60 weights and dimensions in an excel sheet and 5 zip codes i need to estimate shipping for, does anyone one know how to batch these against Fedex.com or using the fedex client?
[21:54] <sirellyn> done
[21:54] <din> hi. i am having this strange issue where my audio, when using headphones sounds like the balance is crossed. when the balance is center it sounds like there is a big hole in the audio.
[21:54] <DANYAL> when I Type "Last" , last: /var/log/wtmp: No such file or directory and Perhaps this file was removed by the operator to prevent logging last info
[21:54] <din> i recently had the mother board replaced, however it was doing this before then as well.
[21:55] <din> anyone ever have this issue?
[21:55] <benassi> as I notice lot of people has sound problems with ubuntu 12.04
[21:55] <benassi> 64
[21:55] <din> when headphones are not inserted the sound is fine.
[21:55] <BB42> does it sound rigth with the earphones if you hear with another device din?
[21:55] <usr13> sirellyn: sudo apt-get install sox
[21:55] <sirellyn> I did
[21:55] <sirellyn> it's done
[21:55] <usr13> Ok.  See if audio works?
[21:56] <escott> DANYAL, that message would suggest that creating the wtmp file would be enough to start the logging have you tried that?
[21:56] <din> BB42, yes. i have also tried several pairs of headphones.
[21:56] <sirellyn> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[21:56] <sirellyn> permission still denied
[21:56] <themoebius> I'm trying to write an upstart job and when I do sudo service <myservice> restart it starts the new process before the old process has finished. I'm having trouble finding out how to make it wait until the current processed has exited. Is there some option for this?
[21:56] <sirellyn> dsp still doesn't exist
[21:56] <DANYAL> escott yes but same issue
[21:56] <usr13> sirellyn: Add yourself to audio
[21:56] <sirellyn> ok
[21:57] <zteam> escott, okey, here we go http://pastebin.com/Yk8a6VUT
[21:57] <escott> zteam, stop being so selective with your dmesg output. i can't tell you anything from that
[21:57] <usr13> so that at the end of the audio line it has ,sirellyn  (no space)
[21:58] <sirellyn> sorry is there a command line to do that? I guess I can modify the group list
[21:58] <escott> DANYAL, did you reboot?
[21:58] <usr13> sirellyn: sudo vim /etc/group
[21:58] <zteam> well, since I replugged my usb-stick and run dmesg | tail that was all I got :p
[21:59] <usr13> sirellyn: if thereis a :  at the end of the line, just type in your user name.
[21:59] <DANYAL> escott i think my method is wrong can u tell how to install it?
[21:59] <sirellyn> pulse is there
[21:59] <sirellyn> just type pulse,myusername ?
[21:59] <escott> zteam, then use tail -n 20 or something until there is enough context to know there isnt anything before it
[22:00] <usr13> sirellyn: Yea, that is ok.
[22:00] <escott> DANYAL, what is "your method"?
[22:00] <sirellyn> done permission still denied
[22:00] <sirellyn> when I try to pipe the sound
[22:01] <sirellyn> and dsp still not in dev directory
[22:01] <benassi> I don't know how they didn't fix these sounddrivers in ubuntu 12.04 64x :(  shame on developers :/
[22:01] <zteam> escott, okey, I did an earlier try to, and then I got a little more
[22:01] <hololight> I want to mount a ntfs partition automati ally on boot using fstab, but when i set this up it always ends with everything having group/owner of root.... what am i missing (not spamming.... lost my connection so i didnt see any answers)
[22:02] <escott> hololight, you need to add uid= and gid= arguments to the fstab under the options column.
[22:02] <usr13> sirellyn: Log out and back in again, or reboot
[22:02] <zteam> escott, but that seems to about my DVD-drive
[22:02] <sirellyn> ok let me try i'll be back on in a bit
[22:03] <escott> zteam, the numbers on the left are seconds since boot. so hotplug and then run "dmesg" and scroll up until you find a gap in the numbers. what follows that gap is the hotplug event
[22:05] <ypaq> can somebody point to a good resource about unattended installs/upgrades and also debconf ?
[22:05] <guntbert> !automate | ypaq
[22:05] <lnettroue> I have ran into a question that I have not been able to answer. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck creating a ubuntu USB drive for OSX on windows or ubuntu that works on a OSX Machine?
[22:05] <chobbs> L3top:  Hey, just dropped in that GT 430. Nearly plug and play :)
[22:06] <MonkeyDust> lnettroue  please rephrase :)
[22:06] <sirellyn> back
[22:06] <sirellyn> popup dialog at login
[22:06] <ypaq> ubottu: thanks
[22:06] <lnettroue> They have OSX Laptops that will not boot and want to see if ubuntu will work on them.
[22:06] <usr13> sirellyn: Is it working?
[22:06] <lnettroue> Don't have access to a working OSX Machine
[22:07] <benassi> ubottu, do you have time?
[22:07] <sirellyn> KDE detected one of more internal devices were removed - Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices
[22:07] <zteam> escott, aha, that made things alot easier
[22:07] <sirellyn> And sound didn't start on login
[22:07] <benassi> ubottu, ttu can you help me xD
[22:07] <zteam> escott, http://pastebin.com/0VTqAjnD
[22:07] <usr13> sirellyn: Well, try to play an audio file.
[22:07] <sirellyn> no dsp listed in dev folder still
[22:07] <sirellyn> I'll try the audio
[22:08] <sirellyn> what was the pipe command again?
[22:08] <guntbert> !askthebot | benassi
[22:08] <escott> zteam, no indication that is a u3. formatting should work fine with any formatting tool
[22:08] <usr13> sirellyn: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[22:09] <usr13> sirellyn: Try that ^^^^^
[22:09] <L3top> good to hear chobbs. most of my headaches are in 1004.
[22:09] <L3top> chobbs: and have to do with hdmi audio
[22:09] <sirellyn> no sounds :-(
[22:09] <chobbs> L3top:  Yeah, I didn't expect it would be such a chore.
[22:10] <sirellyn> after I used your command
[22:10] <sirellyn> what should I say to the KDE dialog that came up with login
[22:10] <sirellyn> asking me if I want to permanently forget about X devices?
[22:10] <sirellyn> DE detected that one or more internal devices were removed.
[22:10] <sirellyn> Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?
[22:10] <sirellyn> This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed:
[22:10] <sirellyn> Capture: Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
[22:10] <sirellyn> Output: Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
[22:10] <L3top> chobbs: btw... not too long from now you will be facing the 304 driver... looking at about a 20% gain in performance and a 20% power reduction... so... when it is avail via PPA I would violate my own ONLY when necessary policy.
[22:10] <FloodBot1> sirellyn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:10] <zteam> escott, , yep, it seems it does to, noticed then I plugged out the usb-stick that it' didn't light up, like it use to
[22:11] <chobbs> L3top:  Nice, I'll keep an eye out for it! Is that a repo driver or the prop driver?
[22:11] <L3top> sirelyn 0 chance I want to read 20 posts that one would explain... just so you know.
[22:11] <chobbs> L3top:  I did havce to install the prop driver to get everything working right.
[22:11] <sirellyn> sorry :-/
[22:11] <zteam> escott, after repluged it in, it shows up in Gparted jusdt like expected
[22:11] <lnettroue> Have multiple OSX laptops that will not boot. Don't have access to a working OSX Machine. Needing to create a bootable Ubuntu from Windows or Ubuntu OS's to boot the OSX Machines
[22:11] <usr13> sirellyn: Yea, permenatly get rid of them. Yes
[22:11] <escott> zteam, so then where do things stop working?
[22:11] <L3top> It is gonna be prop when it drops. Canonical has a tendancy to not change repo drivers unless there is a problem.
[22:12] <sirellyn> ok.  What is next?
[22:12] <usr13> sirellyn: Can I pm you?
[22:12] <sirellyn> sure
[22:12] <L3top> usr13: I am pretty good in this arena if you get stuck.
[22:13] <L3top> What are the laptops lnettroue
[22:13] <lnettroue> They had OSX 10.4 installed on them
[22:13] <L3top> What is the HW lnettroue
[22:14] <lnettroue> MAC
[22:14] <L3top> killin me lnettroue.
[22:14] <Jordan_U> lnettroue: Calling them "Macs" rather than "OSX Machines" will probably avoid confusion.
[22:15] <L3top> What, specifically, are the machines? Are they intel macs? Are they PPCs? Are they minimacs? Are they macbook pros? etc etc
[22:15] <zteam> escott, 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 it
[22:15] <lnettroue> ok 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 me
[22:16] <L3top> OSX spans many many versions.
[22:16] <L3top> lnettroue: if these are PPCs there is a specific version you should use
[22:16] <escott> zteam, 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 matter
[22:16] <Ogredude> Hiya folks.
[22:16] <escott> zteam, what happens when you try to boot the liveUSB
[22:17] <zteam> escott, sometimes it boot (quite rarerly, most of the time it refuses, and try to boot from another drive instead
[22:17] <Ogredude> I'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?
[22:18] <lnettroue> not 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 installed
[22:18] <escott> zteam, sometimes isn't very descriptive. any pattern to the sometimes? (what port it is plugged into? hot or cold boot?
[22:19] <Yoshi2889> Hey all, when I use my function keys on my keyboard to lower the brightness, when the screen dims to save power and I "un-dim" it again, the brightness jumps back to what it was before I lowered it, how can I fix this?
[22:19] <TLFADE> anyone knows something similar to calibre (e-book manager) but for handling documents like office and so...
[22:19] <lnettroue> If i can not get it figured here I'm just going to trow them all away and get new machines
[22:19] <zteam> escott, I haven't been able to found any pattern at all
[22:19] <L3top> >/dev/null 2>&1 I have no idea how that could possibly do what you want Ogredude. &> /dev/null will. This sends  both stdin and stdout to the void null hole that is /dev/null
[22:20] <Ogredude> L3top: okay. So `blahblah &> /dev/null` will take any possible output of the command and just trash it.
[22:20] <Ogredude> one of the resources I found the first one at is http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/disable-the-mail-alert-by-crontab-command/
[22:21] <zteam> escott, it seems to happen quite randomly, seems to me i'ts just some silly bug in my Bios or something
[22:21] <L3top> Ogredude: this is a question best asked in #bash  but yes... I believe that will accomplish what you want
[22:21] <Ogredude> L3top: thanks for the recommendation of #bash, I came here because it's where I'm most likely to find decent help without ridicule :)
[22:21] <Erealz> how to i give a user permission to run certain programs and or services ??
[22:21] <robotti^_> can anybody recommend partition size for linux? Because I am going to install windows 7 and ubuntu on same SSD. It is 50GB
[22:22] <zteam> escott,  so idealy I should just wait until they release BIOS-update, but since my motherboard is 4 years old, I havent too much hope of that :p
[22:22] <L3top> Ogredude: it is brutal in there... but just ask what will send stdout and stderr to /dev/null and I believe that will be the answer, without offending your tender sensibilities.
[22:22] <solifugus> anyone know how to disable a scratchpad or make it less sensitive so I can type?
[22:23] <Yoshi2889> Hey all, when I use my function keys on my keyboard to lower the brightness, when the screen dims to save power and I "un-dim" it again, the brightness jumps back to what it was before I lowered it, how can I fix this?
[22:23] <DanielHoffman> i am having some xbox live trouble with an ubuntu gateway
[22:23] <Ogredude> L3top: thanks for the advice
[22:24] <EmmaClippinger> hey
[22:24] <EmmaClippinger> What is the difference between HdMedia and NetInstall on Ubuntu?
[22:24]  * Erealz how to i give a user permission to run certain programs and or services ??
[22:24] <EmmaClippinger> I want to put it on a USB stick and install it on a laptop that doesn't have a CD drive.
[22:24] <EmmaClippinger> I'm using UNetBootin'
[22:24]  * L3top does not understand EmmaClippinger's question
[22:25] <EmmaClippinger> also, the USB bootables UNetBootin' has created are NOT booting my dell netbook    :-((((  "Operating system missing" even though i go into bios and select correct boot order and stuff
[22:25] <EmmaClippinger> L3top you know how on UNetBootin' you can select which version of Ubuntu you want to put on the bootable usb stick?
[22:25] <solifugus> Can the driver for the scratchpad be found and removed?
[22:25] <EmmaClippinger> That's where there are three version, the Live, and then two others
[22:25] <robotti^_> what is good minimum size for ubuntu partition?
[22:26] <L3top> EmmaClippinger: keep in mind the name of the application. What are you using unetbootin on... and what are you trying to install?
[22:26] <EmmaClippinger> well it's a great app, on sourceforge
[22:26] <EmmaClippinger> i'm running it on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
[22:26] <EmmaClippinger> but it works on windows and linux as well (the UNetBootin app)
[22:26] <EmmaClippinger> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:27] <zteam> EmmaClippinger, as far I know Ubuntu doesn't support net installs, but a "net-install" means it just download most of the components from Internet, instead of having all files directly on the usb-stick
[22:27] <usr13> EmmaClippinger: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[22:27] <usr13> EmmaClippinger: Are you doing this from a Ubuntu system?  OR from a MS Windows OS?
[22:28] <EmmaClippinger> HdMedia sounds like it was meant for being a TiVO (do not want)
[22:28] <L3top> I see. U=universal net=network boot=boot in=installer
[22:28] <EmmaClippinger> and NetInstall sounds like most of the data comes from the net (do not want again)
[22:28] <Jimbo> Hello
[22:28] <L3top> usr13: mac
[22:28] <EmmaClippinger> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:28] <EmmaClippinger> errm
[22:28] <Jimbo> http://epicfreeprizes.com/?ref=178172
[22:28] <Jimbo> http://epicfreeprizes.com/?ref=178172
[22:28] <EmmaClippinger> so What is the difference between HdMedia and NetInstall on Ubuntu?
[22:29] <solifugus> Can I pay ubuntu to help me get my f*ing scratchpad to stop jumping my dang cursor all over?
[22:29] <usr13> EmmaClippinger: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[22:29] <MonkeyDust> solifugus  ubuntu is a product
[22:29] <zteam> EmmaClippinger, I just explained that for you =)
[22:29]  * L3top would guess Hd means high density instead of high def in this circumstance, vs download packages. I would go HD
[22:29] <MonkeyDust> solifugus  why not just ask your question
[22:30] <solifugus> MonkeyDust, because nobody seems to have an answer....
[22:30] <solifugus> I've asked it many times over the last few weeks.. and googled..
[22:30] <MonkeyDust> solifugus  that happens
[22:30] <usr13> solifugus: If you give some specific information, someone may be able to help you.
[22:30] <solifugus> yeah.. for common problems..  never got nvidia to work and still cannot type long letter or program because of the scratchpad
[22:30] <MonkeyDust> solifugus  maybe because you are the only one who has that issue
[22:31] <EmmaClippinger> zteam... WHOOSH lol.  I'm going to ask somebody who has a clue, thanks.
[22:31] <solifugus> MonkeyDust, according to google, I am not.. and I've had this issue on other laptops
[22:31] <escott> !attitude | EmmaClippinger thats uncalled for
[22:31] <EmmaClippinger> L3top thank you for the USEFUL information.
[22:31] <EmmaClippinger> ubottu, if you're going to volunteer don't have an obnoxious, shitty attitude like zteam
[22:31] <EmmaClippinger> thanks.
[22:31] <solifugus> you'd think one could at least disable the scratch pad .. or at least install nvidia's drivers from nvidia.. or something
[22:32] <EmmaClippinger> passive aggressive FAGGOT.  lol bye
[22:32] <L3top> EmmaClippinger: We are all just volunteers. Please do not disparrage those trying to help, with no alterior motive.
[22:32]  * L3top now hopes they cannot install.
[22:32] <jmad980> L3top: he already ragequit :P
[22:32] <usr13> L3top: I think it was only a failed attempt at humor
[22:32] <escott> solifugus, one can do all those things if one wants to.
[22:33] <solifugus> I will pay a reasonable to ubuntu to figure out how to install nvidia drivers and to fix the scratchpad...  So I can let the rest of the world know..
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> solifugus  nvidia and linux/linus thorvalds are not the best of friends
[22:34] <alusion> When shopping for a laptop to serve as a dedicated Ubuntu machine, what should I keep in mind / look for
[22:34] <laserlion> Solifugus: When you say Scratchpad, do you mean the touchpad?
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> alusion  type !hardware
[22:34] <laserlion> Did she mean the touchpad? lol
[22:34] <laserlion> or he
[22:35] <escott> solifugus, for your scratchpad?? you can mess around with xinput settings. and please drop the "i would pay comments" if you want to pay then contact canonical and get paid support. this is a volunteer channel
[22:35] <L3top> alusion: it is my belief that thinkpads have the most linux friendly hw atm. They seem to have taken great concern over it.
[22:35] <Payl> hi guys, any1 know how do i easily setup wifi? i tried wifi-radar but couldn't really connect probably because i'm too stupid to configure it.
[22:36] <L3top> alusion: do NOT get a laptop with hybrid graphics, intel/nvidia intel/ATI ATI/ATI.
[22:36] <MonkeyDust> !wifi| Payl
[22:36] <alusion> Is the graphics the #1 thing to watch out for? What is ideal then, L3top ?
[22:36] <laserlion> alusion: 2nd'd. My Intel/ATI-setup is a pain..
[22:36] <Alucard_> sup peeps so what do you linuxers do for fun? Free time on ubuntu?
[22:36] <Wally> So what do you people think of Nvidia?
[22:36] <escott> alusion, pure intel is pretty solid
[22:36] <L3top> both ATI and nVidia have abandoned support in linux for hybrids.
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> alusion  i'm happy with intel on my old lappy
[22:37] <Alucard_> what do linux users do on their linux universe of computing, do you guys have games?
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> Alucard_  http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[22:37] <alusion> STeam is being ported to linux soon
[22:38] <sbattey> Alucard_ Valve is porting Steam to ubuntu…and there are already lots of games that can run under wine, some with direct OpenGL support for faster graphics processing.
[22:38] <escott> !games | Alucard_
[22:38] <Alucard_> linux games?
[22:38] <_ericcc> Any suggestions for a decent remote access program for ubuntu. I have a Windows laptop at work abstract would like to access my Linux machine at home
[22:38] <Alucard_> no but like, big titles like half life or fallout or whatever
[22:38] <sbattey> _ericcc Lik an ssh server?
[22:38] <escott> _ericcc, access being shell or gui?
[22:38] <L3top> alusion: the common wisdom for windows laptops is to includ a low powered intel chipset integrated and a high powered ATI/nVidia for complicated rendering... and none have support for linux... simply avoid them. 6 months ago i would have told you to go nVidia all the way... but the latest intel drivers rock out with their thing out... with low power consumption. ivybridge notwithstanding.
[22:39] <_ericcc> I'm trying to learn Linux . 3days young on the new OS. I want acess to the terminal to learn commands cutting those slow days
[22:39] <alusion> I was really hoping to get an ivy bridge laptop
[22:40] <escott> _ericcc, if all you want is a shell. sudo apt-get install openssh-server, and then download and install putty on your computer at work
[22:40] <pepopowitz> question: every time I download AMD GPU drivers and install them manually it never works and my xorg is always fubar'd is there a guide I can follow?
[22:40] <timmy12> hey guys,  I just installed Ubuntu and my 2nd gfx card will not work, any ideas?
[22:41] <alusion> I see what you mean, L3top. Could you possibly check this out http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/3259b0e8#/3259b0e8/1
[22:41] <L3top> alusion: for the record the discrete GPU uses the integrated head. NONE are supported by the manufacturer in linux.
[22:41] <L3top> SOME ivy bridge works... SOME do not. I will not guide your wallet with my limited experience alusion. I hope you understand.
[22:42] <escott> pepopowitz, why are you downloading the drivers from AMD. why not use jockey-gtk
[22:42] <pepopowitz> are those the latest?
[22:42] <alusion> I see, thanks for the information L3top. Hybrid graphics are a no go.
[22:42] <alusion> I feel like sometimes I am playing russian roulette with troubleshooting pain
[22:42] <pepopowitz> escott: wait is that the one in the restricted that says post update?
[22:42] <L3top> Not unless you are a glutton for punishment alusion.
[22:43] <pepopowitz> escott: oh nevermind that is the additional tool. I installed those but I dont think its the latest
[22:43] <alusion> It's always a learning experience is how I will tend to see it ๏_๏
[22:43] <escott> pepopowitz, i dont know if they are the latest, but since you are having problems i would start with the jockey tool which will do much of the work for you
[22:43] <pepopowitz> escott: I did but Im having some PlayOnLinux issues and they wont talk to me till I Install the latest
[22:44] <_ericcc> Escort: thanks ill give it a shot tonight
[22:45] <_ericcc> Edit: escott*
[22:45] <L3top> intel/ATI cannot use the fglrx driver on vga switcheroo. intel/nVidia SOMETIMES works with bumblebee. It is a waste of hardware IMO. My current pecking order is Intel GPU, nVidia GPU, ATI GPU, nVidia hybrid, ATI hybrid.
[22:45] <pepopowitz> escott: I found a guide on Ubuntu wiki hopefully this will work
[22:48] <L3top> The latest Intel graphics accelleration requires much less sticker value to work well... and indeed the latest iteration is hit or miss. Nvidia tends to do well, but there are some regression issues in the 295.40 driver in precise repos, and it has to work a lot harder to do the same thing. I find the remaining ATI GPUs to be... glitchy as heck with the current architecture... and the fglrx is lost on the ATI hybrids, and there is a lot
[22:48] <L3top>  of bugginess with the bumblebee stuff. I would avoid hybrids like the plague.
[22:48] <playman> does the ubuntu have some kind of a command that checks the whole system for corrupt system files?
[22:48] <MonkeyDust> playman  try fsck
[22:49] <bekks> playman: No. What do you mean by "corrupt system files"?
[22:49] <benassi> how to fix ubuntu 12.04 64x sound driver
[22:49] <benassi> ?
[22:50] <L3top> alusion: these are my opinions, not reflective of Ubuntu. I just deal with autodetect install of every chipset on the planet on an unsupported ubuntu derivative.
[22:50] <playman> bekks: the system wont boot now into XBMC and I was wondering if there was some way to check the system files like in it's possible in windows
[22:50] <bekks> playman: Better check the logs whats happening with XBMC.
[22:50] <xlREDlx> quick question what are the Open Source amd drivers called (like nvidia nouveal)
[22:51] <L3top> benassi: there is no way I can troubleshoot your issue with that level of detail.
[22:51] <|Long|> have anyone here used lvm2?
[22:51] <playman> MonkeyDust: for that command I have to boot from live cd right?
[22:51] <bekks> xlREDlx: "modules".
[22:51] <bekks> |Long|: Why?
[22:51] <Jordan_U> !anyone | |Long|
[22:51] <MonkeyDust> playman  bekks makes more sense
[22:51] <L3top> xlREDlx: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[22:51] <|Long|> bekks, well i just installed lvm2, but i dont see it on apps folder
[22:52] <L3top> xlREDlx: it will read as radeon from xorg.conf or lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
[22:52] <bekks> |Long|: Erm, it is a logical volume manager, not a user-driven-app.
[22:52] <playman> bekks: yea I tried to look trough the logs and some some warnings and errors, but nothing that could help me or tell me what's wrong :S
[22:52] <Jordan_U> |Long|: What is your end goal?
[22:52] <|Long|> bekks, i need to launch it where it be?
[22:52] <MonkeyDust> |Long|  lvm2 is a *way* of doing something, it's not a program
[22:52] <xlREDlx> ok L3top i need it for an APU since the closed ones are giving me shit preformance with gnome 3x
[22:53] <L3top> xlREDlx: Language is an issue here... please mind it. Please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[22:53] <|Long|> Jordan_U, i have JOBD i need to make a lvm for all of it
[22:54] <bekks> |Long|: http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-lvm-guide/
[22:54] <benassi> L3top, 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 clear
[22:55] <timmy12> Hey guys, how do I get my crossfired gfx card to work in Ubuntu?
[22:55] <xlREDlx> L3top what do you mean by out put? all that popped up is the model (6320 so you know)
[22:57] <laserlion> p
[22:59] <mon> evening
[23:00] <L3top> benassi: please give me a pastebin of sudo aplay -l         ask if you do not know what a pastebin is
[23:01] <level09> what is this process ? usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
[23:01] <L3top> I am asking you xlREDlx if you type lspci -nn | grep VGA in a terminal... what it replies
[23:01] <benassi> L3top,  http://pastebin.com/PJvfW24J
[23:02] <|Long|> bekks, i though lvm2 is a GUI version NOT a cmd

[23:03] <L3top> xlREDlx: what is the problem you are having with the fglrx driver? and... are you still using it without knowing? lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2      kernel modules
[23:03] <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 greatl;y appreciated!
[23:03] <L3top> one moment benassi.
[23:04] <xlREDlx> Im using the drivers I downloaded from the website and im just getting bad preformance, Gnome 3x based DEs are slow Unity is slow I have to use Gnome2 or LXDE
[23:05] <merp_> ...
[23:06] <mon> merp_> do you have pulseaudio volume control installed?
[23:06] <merp_> No.
[23:06] <L3top> xlREDlx: I would stick to the repos... for one. 2 there are a couple of known conflicts with adobe flash and the fglrx.  However I would expect on the 6k series you would notice a marked improvement.
[23:06] <mon> it makes it easier to set up - imho
[23:07] <merp_> sudo apt-get install What package for pulseaudio?
[23:07] <mon> pavucontrol
[23:07] <mon> i think
[23:07] <ppine> hello, i have a system with only one partition ( / ) if i boot a live session, delete all folders except my home folder, then do a fresh install without formating my drive, will i then keep all my contents in the /home folder?
[23:07] <xlREDlx> L3top : I was using the repos and I got bad preformance, so I tried the ones from the website and I still get bad preformanec, (these where botht eh closes source ones) I read that people got good preformance with the Opensource ones but I dont know the name or where to find them
[23:07] <benassi> :)
[23:08] <subz3r0> sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[23:08] <DanielHoffman> When I conect to Xbox Live through a ubuntu gateway, I can talk to everyone except for one person in my freind. help would be appreciated!
[23:08] <escott> xlREDlx, just uninstall fglrx and you will have the open source drivers
[23:08] <L3top> not forgotten you benassi... just bedtime... which is sort of chaos here... I will get back to you and xlREDlx in a moment
[23:09] <ibro> Pls don't wanna  be a noob but can anyone help me with a guide on how to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04
[23:09] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | ibro
[23:09] <ppine>  hello, i have a system with only one partition ( / ) if i boot a live session, delete all folders except my
[23:09] <ppine>                home folder, then do a fresh install without formating my drive, will i then keep all my contents in the
[23:09] <ppine>                /home folder?
[23:09] <xlREDlx> escott : so just run a sudo apt-get remove fglrx?
[23:09] <ppine> oops
[23:09] <subz3r0> ibro: upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04
[23:09] <FloodBot1> ppine: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:09] <DanielHoffman> run sudo do-release-upgrade
[23:09] <merp_> Thanks, mon, you are a genius and it let me have my mic back!
[23:09] <mon> cool :)
[23:09] <escott> xlREDlx, if thats the package name. im not sure what the fglrx package is
[23:09] <DanielHoffman> or i found a ay to upgrade with APT-fast
[23:10] <Jordan_U> ppine: Yes, but you can also just skip the deleting of all folders since the Ubuntu installer will basically do that itself.
[23:10] <drroller> I am having problems installing a package if someone could take a peek - http://pastebin.ca/2172335
[23:10] <benassi> L3top,  nor problem .. it is 1:10 A.M,
[23:10] <atari2600a> anyone know when alien arena 7.60 will hit the repos
[23:11] <ppine> Jordan_U: allright, i will try this then, i am a little affraid tough, if it doenst work, im losing 160gb of music and film
[23:11] <L3top> That 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.html
[23:11] <DanielHoffman> I am having some Ubuntu Gateway problems with my Xbox
[23:11] <Jordan_U> ppine: 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] <ibro> Ok thanks
[23:11] <DanielHoffman> i can talk to everyone except for 1 person
[23:11] <escott> xlREDlx, see L3top's instructions above
[23:11] <DanielHoffman> it cant join a party
[23:12] <ppine> Jordan_U: correct, the problem is there's no space for backup atm.
[23:12] <L3top> That was a cursoral look... I have the actual commands in a script... one moment and I will pastebin
[23:12] <mon> merp_ > i don't get what you mean - did it stop working?
[23:12] <xlREDlx> so just run the 4 commands linked in the blog thing?
[23:12] <ppine> Jordan_U: but since i figured this would work and u confirming this, i bet my chances.
[23:13] <L3top> xlREDlx: http://pastebin.com/RPLqcv6z
[23:13] <L3top> That is the no muss no fuss defacto way to handle flgrx to radeon transition... without fail
[23:13] <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.
[23:14] <mon> i never really use the sound settings - i'll look at my own setup...
[23:15] <xlREDlx> ok running now will update if I run into problem/ when its done
[23:15] <ibro> Would I lose da contents of my home of I upgrade that way
[23:16] <ibro> Panicky
[23:17] <L3top> ibro: What way? do-release-upgrade?
[23:17] <DanielHoffman> yes and there is a way to do it all with apt-fast
[23:17] <ibro> Yes
[23:17] <DanielHoffman> if you have it
[23:18] <L3top> no ibro... that is why it exists.
[23:18]  * L3top hearts apt-fast, but is unfamilair using it to upgrade to LTS
[23:18] <playman> could any one help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1099205/
[23:18] <ibro> Fill me in on the way
[23:19] <DanielHoffman> just go to /etc/apt/sources.list, change natty (or which one you are using) to precise (Ubuntu 12.04
[23:19] <DanielHoffman> )
[23:19] <DanielHoffman> and then run sudo apt-fast dist-upgrade
[23:19] <merp_> mon, here is what i mean: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/
[23:19] <L3top> playman: 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] <ibro> Apt way would work from 11.04 to 12
[23:19] <drroller> I am having problems installing a package if someone could take a peek - http://pastebin.ca/2172335
[23:20] <DanielHoffman> yes, if you do what i said it will work
[23:20] <L3top> same goes for you drroller.
[23:20] <playman> L3top: sorry about that
[23:20] <DanielHoffman> unless ubuntu changed the repositories (ubuntu 11.04 should still work)
[23:20] <L3top> ibro:  I am sure DanielHoffman is correct if that is what he told you to do.... which it seems to have been.
[23:21] <DanielHoffman> yes it is
[23:21] <ibro> Thanks you da man
[23:21] <psychogenik> How do I start up my laptop built in webcam on 12.04? it worked during installation
[23:21] <DanielHoffman> i would recommend you do it with apt-fast but apt-get should work as well.
[23:21] <L3top> !cookie | DanielHoffman
[23:21] <mon> merp try restart pulseaudio
[23:21] <DanielHoffman> thanks
[23:21] <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/
[23:22] <merp_> Thanks, mon.
[23:22] <L3top> merp_: what version of ubuntu are you on that you had to install pulse?
[23:22] <merp_> L3top, 12.04....
[23:22] <ibro> Trying it now .
[23:22] <merp_> "I'm running 12.04"
[23:22] <L3top> merp_: pulse is installed by default. Color me confused.
[23:23] <merp_> Huh.
[23:23] <benassi> L3top,  no it's not.. I had to install it
[23:23] <merp_> Thats weird.
[23:23] <benassi> :/
[23:23] <DanielHoffman> maybe not i kubuntu xubuntu or others
[23:23] <mon> l3top > he didnt install pulseaudio - just the mixer
[23:23] <playman> allright any one that can help me with this ubuntu 10.4LTS XBMC setup, the XBMC refuses to start now and I have this error report http://paste.ubuntu.com/1099205/ XBMC was working fine until I get some errors with it's plugins, then I decided to reboot and now xbmc refuses to boot, instead i get the linux log in screen now
[23:23] <mon> the volume control
[23:23]  * L3top hates pulse and had to remove it... does not understand
[23:24] <L3top> pavucontrol?
[23:24] <mon> yeah
[23:25] <L3top> playman: you know #xbmc is its own channel right?
[23:25] <L3top> playman: you are much more likely to get a more accurate answer there.
[23:25] <playman> L3top: no I did not, thanks for that
[23:26]  * L3top is on the #linuxmce side of things... bothers him to fix xbmc stuff... lol
[23:27] <benassi> L3top,  it's my turn :D
[23:28] <AverageJB> whats the best way to check for ddose
[23:29] <AverageJB> my node is getting 77Mbs
[23:29] <AverageJB> I wanna see which IP is sending that
[23:30] <xlREDlx> AverageJB see if it was posted on 4chan
[23:30] <BlouBlou> AverageJB: install firestarter and check the log, or gufw... anyways, if you're being ddoses, contact your isp
[23:30] <BlouBlou> ddosed*
[23:30] <merp_> this too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/7600236288/in/photostream/lightbox/
[23:30] <merp_> anyone on my question?
[23:31] <xlREDlx> L3top : done its working great from what I can tell thanks for the help
[23:32] <mon> merp > did you get my pm?
[23:32] <merp_> mon, yes.
[23:33] <merp_> How should I go about fixing this?
[23:33] <drroller> I am having problems installing a package if someone could take a peek - http://pastebin.ca/2172335 - this is the error, I don't understand it - dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
[23:33] <drroller>  trying to overwrite '/usr/include/turbojpeg.h', which is also in package libjpeg-turbo 1.1.1-20110517
[23:34] <merp_> Rghrgrrhghghhh
[23:34] <mon> does the microphone work?
[23:35] <BrotherGA2> So 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?
[23:36] <zykotick9> !notunity | BrotherGA2
[23:37] <bwat47> BrotherGA2: 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] <DanielHoffman> droller: try sudo apt-et -f install
[23:37] <DanielHoffman> droller: try sudo apt-get -f install
[23:37] <bekks> DanielHoffman: How is that going to help?
[23:38] <BrotherGA2> Thanks for the suggestions folks zykotick9 ubottu bwat47
[23:38] <nibblyn> BrotherGA2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic/108916#108916
[23:38] <drroller> DanielHoffman, -f install then my packages that won't install?
[23:38] <bekks> It will forcibly overwrite some file that is provided by a ubuntu package.
[23:39] <DanielHoffman> well, apt-get -f install corrects dependencies
[23:39] <bekks> DanielHoffman: And it will forcibly overwrite that file with another file from some PPA.
[23:39] <zykotick9> drroller: 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...
[23:41] <Dr_willis> BrotherGA2,  Unityhas some really neat features that are not totally obvious. :)  Check out the various Ubuntu blog sites for unity tricks and tips and guides
[23:41] <benassi> L3top,  are you there?
[23:41] <L3top> no.
[23:42] <DanielHoffman> sometimes yes
[23:42] <drroller> zykotick9, How can I tell what package has the conflicting file?
[23:42] <L3top> I keed I keed... what did I ask you for?
[23:42] <BrotherGA2> Dr_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] <drroller> zykotick9,  here is the whole error message http://pastebin.ca/2172335
[23:42] <L3top> benassi: ?
[23:42] <Dr_willis> BrotherGA2,  i find unity very useable.  With some of the tweaks and addons out for it.. it has some nice features.
[23:43] <benassi> L3top, can you help me fix it?
[23:43] <glitsj16> drroller: where did you get libjpeg-turbo 1.1.1-20110517? sounds like an older package that's not in 12.04 by default ..
[23:44] <drroller> glitsj16, not sure is that the problem child? how can I uninstall it without knowing its name?
[23:44] <drroller> I tried to open the package manager but it kept trying to autofix without success over and over
[23:45] <glitsj16> drroller: that is its name, right there in your error
[23:45] <L3top> benassi: I am like a cat... I am easily distracted by shiny things...
[23:45] <drroller> glitsj16, E: Unable to locate package libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90
[23:45] <drroller> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90'
[23:46] <L3top> I do not remember your question benassi.
[23:46] <benassi> L3top, 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 clear
[23:46] <glitsj16> drroller: the package name is libjpeg-turbo8-dev, version is what's after the _ part
[23:46] <Dr_willis> the packate name will no have the Version # in it i imagine.
[23:46] <L3top> benassi: I am outside in the wilderness... my laptop may die before I finish enjoying it. I will return if I drop.
[23:47] <L3top> benassi: You have pulse installed yes? and pavucontrol?
[23:47] <drroller> glitsj16, Package libjpeg-turbo8-dev is not installed, so not removed
[23:47] <benassi> yes
[23:48] <benassi> L3top, yes both
[23:48] <glitsj16> drroller: correct, but that's the one you'd want in 12.04, it's the package called 'libjpeg-turbo' that's causing the issue
[23:49] <L3top> benassi: I would drop them both... though I am not sure that is an approved Ubuntu solution, and talk directly to alsa.
[23:49] <glitsj16> drroller: because of that older package (no clue how you got that) the ubuntu precise one won't install
[23:50] <L3top> 4%
[23:50] <benassi> L3top,  so you say.. you want me to deinstall them?
[23:50] <benassi> remove*
[23:51] <drroller> glitsj16, It won't let me uninstall, it just keeps going back to - drroller@FileServer:~$ sudo apt-get remove libjpeg-turbo
[23:51] <drroller> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[23:51] <drroller> The 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 installed
[23:53] <L3top> benassi: 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] <L3top> benassi: however I am going to drop soon
[23:54] <glitsj16> drroller: i might have missed it but you are on ubuntu 12.04 correct?
[23:54] <drroller> yes, updated from 10
[23:54] <Entricular> test
[23:54] <L3top> benassi: I would not take reccomendations from someone who would not be around in 5 min to guide me the "right" way
[23:55] <benassi> man.. I am here 9 hours looking for solution
[23:55] <benassi> :"()
[23:55] <L3top> sorry benassi... I am here rather a lot... but... I have to do things shortly. I do not believe I will return.
[23:56] <drroller> glitsj16, Yes, upgraded from 10
[23:56] <benassi> L3top,  ok cya and thx
[23:56] <L3top> benassi: Google your specific issue. There are known bugs.
[23:57] <glitsj16> drroller: 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?
[23:58] <L3top> benassi: 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] <L3top> see ya
[23:59] <benassi> well I found people with same problem.. but without solution :/ cya
