[00:00] Ycarene: I hate that 1337 rubbish, so pointless [00:00] Rallias, wouldnt know i always get the updates though so prob not [00:00] Why did sony change there mind about yellow dog linux on the ps3? [00:00] 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] wolfgang_, There are ways, but all that I know how to do are illegal, so not to be shared on this channel. [00:00] Rallias, Oh ok [00:00] wolfgang_: PS3/Sony and yellowdog are all offtopic. [00:01] please use #ubuntu-offtopic [00:01] zykotick9: XBOX360 has 512Mb, so could run Lubuntu I guess [00:01] IdleOne, Your mean [00:01] ActionPa1snip, Does ubuntu have an active CELL port? [00:01] wolfgang_: I've been called worse. Doesn't change the fact that this is not a chat channel. [00:01] wolfgang_: incorrect about IdleOne [00:01] IdleOne is heartless ;) [00:01] Rallias: no idea, I've heard something but it was a long time ago [00:02] zykotick, :D [00:02] ActionPa1snip, So far as I know, it hasn't been maintained since ~ 9.04 [00:02] Rallias: yep, 3 years, sounds about right [00:02] Altho I've got a blade I wish I could install ubuntu server on D: [00:03] So can anyone explain why TwinView isn't doing what it says it's supposed to? [00:03] (ubu 12.04) [00:04] l337ingDisorder: what video chip? [00:04] BYE! [00:04] ActionPa1snip: GeForce 8500 GT [00:05] l337ingDisorder: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver? [00:05] ActionPa1snip: It is putting output to both displays but it's not cloning, it's just extending [00:05] ActionPa1snip: yep [00:05] l337ingDisorder: twinview is nvidia's propritary version of xinerama (2 displays acting as 1) - select clone instead [00:05] l337ingDisorder: if you use nvidia-settings you can set to mirror afaik [00:06] zykotick9: there's no "Clone" there's "Separate X screen" and "TwinView" [00:06] l337ingDisorder: neither separate nor twinview is what you want... [00:06] oooh [00:06] wait [00:06] found it! [00:06] it wasn't in that dropdown.. [00:06] you need to choose "TwinView" and then in the "Position" dropdown you choose "Clone" instead of "Right of" or "Left of" === baggar11_ is now known as baggar11 [00:07] nevertheless thanks for the help guys! :D [00:07] np :) [00:11] 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] yannickoo: yes [00:11] And I don't have the permission to create a .ssh dir. [00:11] then probably no [00:11] Muelli: :( [00:12] Muelli: why i not just set the path to the .ssh directory in the scp command? ;) [00:12] 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] Uh yeah! "Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh." [00:12] the "F" parameter [00:13] and "i" - idendity file [00:14] Question about Unity - can you disable the icon shaking thing? In the left side panel. [00:14] but i need that in the ssh-keygen command [00:15] 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] 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] Ok, thanks. What about the actual .sh file? Just somewhere put, so the launcher doesn't look in the wrong directory? [00:19] The launcher should look wherever you tell it to. [00:19] laserlion, if you want it to show in your menus theres a .config/applications directory I think. [00:19] laserlion, the actual .sh. i wouldput in /home/yourusername/bin [00:19] laserlion: the program you want to launch may be located anywhere. Just check that the execution bit is set [00:20] 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] I'm sorry, zykotick. Can you explain what 'they'll be in my path' means? :) [00:22] laserlion: it means you could execute it from anywhere, and the shell will find it... [00:22] Also, thanks for your answers Muelli and Dr_willis! [00:22] !tab > laserlion [00:22] laserlion, please see my private message [00:22] Time to check up on bash basics about the PATH variable. :) [00:24] laserlion: (just in case) ~ means your home directory (so both myself and Dr_willis suggested teh same thing) [00:25] zykotick9: thanks, I got it now! :) [00:25] laserlion: tab to - nice ;) [00:36] hi [00:36] 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] LLU, you mean you hae an actual '[*]' in the file name somehow? [00:38] no [00:38] just that could be everything [00:38] not really an astrix [00:39] give examples... ;) [00:39] LLU, the "rename" utility (which is actually just a perl script) might help [00:41] LLU: Please give an actual example. [00:41] I find the 'qmv' command handy.. but its a little unusual in how it works. [00:42] How do I make a custom .desktop shortcut appear in Dash? [00:42] you can escape the asterisk and it will be treated as a character, rather than a glob and rename it [00:42] dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications [00:42] 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] ActionPa1snip: I did... still not there. [00:42] ActionPa1snip: I copied it to .local/share/applications [00:43] Unless you want it System wide for all users.. then see above. you MAY need to logout/back in or restart unity. [00:43] 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] dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/application [00:43] ActionPa1snip: is there a way to refresh the cache? [00:43] dunpeal: copy it to /usr/share/applications sorry [00:43] dunpeal: you could log off and on I guess [00:43] ActionPa1snip: any way to refresh the cache without logoff/on? [00:44] LLU, you most likelky need to do your own scripting for that. or get fancy with a bash command line. :) [00:44] dunpeal: try pressing ALT+F2 and run: r [00:45] LLU: use \ to escape. like "\[Muzietk\]top2000" or use double Quotes "[Muzietk]top2000" [00:45] ActionPa1snip: "r" and Enter?! [00:45] the program "r"? [00:45] dunpeal: if memory serves, yes [00:45] mv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films from the directory the subdir is in. [00:45] dunpeal: just r [00:45] dunpeal, thats how to 'restart' I belive in gnome3/unity its like a fancy hotkey. not an actual command. [00:45] mv ./\[Fi* /var/hda/files/drives/drive6/Films from the directory the subdir is in. @ LLU [00:45] Dr_willis: thanks :). Wasn't 100% [00:46] L3top: ./ is redundant [00:46] ActionPa1snip, but i think that may be gnome-shell only. Not unity [00:46] Dr_willis: lets see :D [00:46] ActionPa1snip, Dr_willis: I press Alt+f2. Dash comes up. I press r, nothing happens :( [00:46] think I may need to restart. [00:46] but these will not be the only files that will come in that directory and that I would like to be moved [00:46] dunpeal: could run: unity --replace [00:47] 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] 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] 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] ActionPa1snip,dunpeal, actually i use setsuid unity (dont know about eventual critics [00:49] ActionPa1snip: that messed up my desktop [00:49] anyway, restarting works, but I thought this isn't windows :( [00:49] dunpeal: it makes unity reload [00:49] 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] dunpeal: restarts can be beneficial [00:50] ActionPa1snip: unless anyone has any better suggestions, I think that's how I'm going to do it from now on [00:50] restart doesn't take forever - like in windows, anyway ;) [00:51] 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] s/both files/both folders/ [00:52] dunpeal, setsuid unity in alt-f2 [00:52] 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] dunpeal, sorry setsid unity [00:52] ActionPa1snip: but the reboot fixed it ;) === mike_ is now known as Guest79636 [00:53] zykotick9: loads new kernels and so on. Cleans ram real good. Lots of things [00:53] how do I start pam_motd? It used to show, but now it stopped showing motd when I logon the ssh [00:53] ActionPa1snip, I agree on the "reboots are useful" bit. Every month on the 1st, servers get rebooted. [00:53] aah nvm [00:53] Rallias: sounds reasonable [00:53] It doesn't show when I use mosh [00:53] So how do I enable pam_motd for mosh? [00:53] Except for 1 which has a client that ALWAYS compalins about reboots because he uses ssh tunnels for his web service. [00:53] 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] ActionPa1snip: i agree with you - i'm just joking (sorry OT). i just strive for stability over features. [00:54] 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] Topher82, What told you you don't need to partition your ssd? [00:54] i didn't want to move it i would prefer copying because other wise i can't keep seeding the files [00:54] 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] 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] LLU: i just drop my torrents into a directory and they get downloaded, simple. [00:55] ActionPa1snip: i hate flash. is that blue tint still an issue? [00:56] 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] ^ fix for blue tint is to disable 3d in the flash options (use fullscreen if required) FYI [00:57] Topher82, You're better off using guided partitioning, not just "no partitioning". [00:57] Topher82: do you want to save anything or dual boot? [00:57] no it's a fresh SSD and it's only for kubuntu :) [00:58] Topher82, You NEED to partition it [00:58] Topher82: use the entire disk - simple ;) (only my opinion) [00:58] 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] Rallias: i believe the installer is offering to autocreate a swap and / on the entire disk. [00:59] yeah, that should be what's done. [00:59] LLU: sorry man - i obviously know little about transmission (it was never my favourite amoung the gui torrent clients either) [00:59] LLU: for web i used the lame old apache media thing... forget it's name [00:59] 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] 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] hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers [01:00] Topher82, How much ram do you have? [01:00] I tried the OCZ forum but they aren't being useful at all lol. [01:00] 4GB [01:00] yannickoo, the existence/nonexistence of a .ssh directory should not affect your ability to scp [01:00] You'll be fine with no swap. [01:00] Topher82: Not a vbox issue :) [01:01] zykotick9: If you would know the name that would be awesome! because I'm open to change [01:01] ok cool. someone I work with told me some programs need a swap to work right. [01:01] escott: sure, it needs a ssh key. [01:01] escott: and to be on the known hosts [01:01] Topher82: Sorry, wrong channel. Nonetheless, swap is always needed when wanting hibernation to be working. [01:01] If EVER it's a problem (which it absolutely shouldn't be), you can create a swap .img file. [01:01] ahh shoot [01:02] yea I kinda like that. [01:02] 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] Topher82: Then you need swap size == ram size. [01:02] escott: when i enter the password it says that it is wrong, but it's right :) [01:02] 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] Topher82, Unless programs start to fail, don't have swap set up. [01:03] escott: i done it with -F and added a config file with the key and the knonw hosts [01:03] 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] ok I'm going to try that I might need help figuring out the math on the partitions. [01:03] yea I have a spare SSD (they were half price so I bought 2) [01:03] 100% to ext4 mounted as / [01:03] yannickoo, it sounds like you are doing things in a more complicated fashion. it might be making your error messages more confusing [01:04] hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly? I have the driver installed (supposedly) based on additional drivers [01:04] 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] zykotick9, running without swap will only slow down if you run out of ram, which he has PLENTY of. [01:04] 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] !swap [01:05] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:05] 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] Rallias: incorrect [01:05] 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] with 4gb ram, that's not a problem. [01:06] Rallias: if a system is using swap as memory - you system will be crawling - buy more memory ;) [01:06] *sigh* I love it here. I always get great answers and awesome converstaions always start up :) [01:06] Rallias: incorrect [01:06] !swap | Rallias [01:06] Rallias: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:06] Topher82, you can always make a swap file :) [01:06] well at this point I just want to be able to reboot after install to an OS lol. [01:06] Yes. If you find you need it, use a swap file, not a swap partition. === kracker|zombie is now known as kracker|away [01:07] at what poing in the install do I add that noapci stuff anyway? [01:07] escott: oh it works :o [01:07] Rallias: swap fils cannot do hibernation... [01:07] 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] or is that something I add during grub on the first boot? [01:07] Topher82, that would be a grub/syslinux boot option [01:07] Dr_willis: another excellent point - swap partitions are used by LiveCDs! [01:07] Topher82, Nah, unless you have an odd computer, which most people don't. [01:08] 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] zykotick9, which can be bad.. if you are trying to repartion that HD. ;) [01:08] Topher82, the !nomodeset guide shows you [01:08] !nomodeset [01:08] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:08] woot thanks [01:09] Grub = HOLD shift. Syslinux, tap space when ya see a Man=keyboard icon at the bottom.. [01:09] ok let me go absorb all of this and try another install :) back in a bit [01:09] or tap space like a woodpecker after drinking a double capachino.. [01:09] Dr_willis: ;) another excellent point (re: partioning from livecd and having to disable swap first) [01:09] 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. === gry is now known as gryllida === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [01:15] hey guys, how do I make sure 3D acceleration is working properly?

[02:20] !ask | rodneymillerpca [02:20] rodneymillerpca: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:21] 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] brandonj: sweet [02:21] You mean you want gnome desktop instead of unity rodneymillerpca ? [02:21] !notunity | rodneymillerpca [02:21] rodneymillerpca: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:21] 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] brandonj: if you are civil and patient, you will be helped if possible [02:23] Ah ok gnome I hug. lol [02:23] I'm a realy old geek and have little use to learn new .lol [02:24] urbanp00r: did you run: source ~/.bashrc after the change? [02:24] rodneymillerpca: just install gnome-panel and log off and select the new session [02:24] ActionPa1snip: yes, but everytime i use terminal do i run that command? [02:25] Is . ~/.bashrc not similar to source ~/.bashrc? [02:25] 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] 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] 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] Rallias: anything post Natty will use Unity as the default shell, you can install gnome-panel and use that if you wish [02:25] !manual | antony__ [02:25] antony__: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

New users to linux [02:26] ActionPa1snip, Yeah, but I thought you didn't need to install anything additional. [02:26] Rallias: yeah its extra, the defaults are Unity and Unity2D only but you can install what you wish [02:27] 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] can u still use the gnome-panel on 12.04? [02:27] !info gnome-panel [02:27] gnome-panel (source: gnome-panel): launcher and docking facility for GNOME. In component universe, is optional.

[02:29] without ccsm** sorry. [02:30] !shortcuts [02:30] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts [02:30] Mouse. Not keyboard. [02:31] NictraSavios: its just another input device in Xorg, the system doesn't care [02:31] Well, when I try to use system -- > Preferances --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts, It dosen't work. [02:32] It wants a keyboard stroke so it won't take a mouse click as a "key" [02:32] 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] ActionPa1snip: what if source ~/.bashrc don't work? [02:33] 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] 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] urbanp00r: then you'll need to review the setting [02:35] ActionPa1snip: can i get any clue? [02:35] Because no good GUI configuration tools for evdev exist... [02:35] NictraSavios: what is evdev? Is that a kernel module? [02:35] Hello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea?? [02:35] Its an xorg mouse driver and kernel module [02:36] urbanp00r: what are you trying to achieve? [02:37] 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] Hello, After unexpected shutdown, my ubuntu isn't starting.how can i fix that??Any idea?? [02:39] ActionPa1snip: thanks! [02:39] 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] I'll look into this further [02:41] Adnan: Could you explain, when exactly the ubuntu boot procedure is 'hanging'? [02:42] Hello :) [02:43] d0lphin_333: anything we can help you? [02:43] 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] hi something know how configure IPTABLES [02:44] 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] d0lphin_333: did you do upgrade while installing [02:45] d0lphin_333: the problem might be caused by hdmi port not being recognized [02:45] quixotedon no, just clean install [02:45] @minimec any idea?? [02:46] NictraSavios: I understand you but that doesn't help hehe [02:46] 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] d0lphin_333: have you tried using a different connection e.g vga or dvi? [02:46] Adnan: I see. I guess you have 'autologin' activated and the system cannot load you sessoin correctly. Would that be correct? [02:46] d0lphin_333: have you tried using another port other than hdmi port? like antony__ mentioned? [02:47] Yes,auto-login activated @minimec [02:48] 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] !hdmi | d0lphin_333 [02:49] @minimec Can you give any solution?? [02:49] d0lphin_333: i think you should try installing using a different connection, then when you install your graphical drivers that may work. [02:49] Adnan: There is a session file, you would have to remove/rename. I am to old/tired to remember the name... [02:50] d0lphin_333: that means the driver wasn't installed properly [02:51] 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? === kris_ is now known as Guest79436 [02:51] what the new ? [02:51] hey === Guest79436 is now known as krissadewo [02:52] d0lphin_333: i cant say myself, as i dont use a hdmi connection. [02:53] d0lphin_333: we don't know much about the installing hdmi issue.. let me do some research first [02:53] 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] For 12.04, many themes and lenses aren't even available for 12.04, but only 11.10 and previous. [02:54] 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] And what constitutes a "Unity" theme. A basic GTK3 theme? A Gnome Shell theme? [02:54] 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] Adnan: It's 'mv', not 'cp'. I have to go to sleep... ;) [02:55] flan_suse: I believe it just uses the GTK3 theme you use [02:55] ActionPa1snip: Figured so. [02:56] flan_suse: if you change your wallpaper, the dash shell and unity launcher change colour to match [02:56] 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] anyone know how to use unetbootin to install to a specific partition? [02:56] ActionPa1snip: I set mine to 100% transparent, so the same thing happens where the wallpaper basically "bleeds" through. [02:56] 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] flan_suse: here are some http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/5-nice-gnome-34-themes-ubuntu-ppa.html [02:57] Hello all [02:57] d0lphin_333: yeah, try using another port first, then go to updating the driver :) [02:57] bob__: yes, anything to say? [02:57] Indeed one question [02:58] quixotedon: thats what i suggested, as i think it needs the driver to be installed first. [02:58] I have installed ubuntu and cannot get it to reconize my graphics card. It's a dell D630 [02:58] ActionPa1snip: Not bad, thank you. :) [02:58] Has anybody noticed repeated (several times a minute) DNS requests to daisy.ubuntu.com? [02:58] antony__: yeah, let's hope that solves d0lphin_333's problem [02:58] what on earth is daisy.ubuntu.com? [02:58] ActionPa1snip: Never knew webupd8 had its own PPA. [02:58] bob__: what graphic hardware? [02:58] quixotedon: i hope so [02:59] 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] Intel 945 Chipset [02:59] quixotedon thanks for your time :) [03:00] flan_suse: yeah its great, it's where I get oracle java from too [03:00] quixotedon: when you've helped bob_ i need to ask a question myself :) [03:00] I tried the update program, with no luck. [03:01] bob__: Is there no driver available to download? [03:01] hello [03:01] hello [03:01] No, i looked at the hardware as well. [03:01] 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] 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] i have a weird problem......for some reason my CTRL key just stopped working [03:02] i'm in vbox [03:02] No proprietary driver are in use on this system [03:02] but can see the key being pressed in xev [03:03] max1: if you run: xev and press the key, does it generate events? [03:03] haha [03:03] AcidRain2012, yes :) [03:03] so i look in my xmodmap file [03:03] nobody on 12.04 is repeatedly sending these DNS requests to daisy.ubuntu.com? [03:03] hi ther [03:03] and all my modifier keys have different keycodes than what is said in xev [03:03] Is anyone running linux on a netbook? [03:03] but they all still work........ [03:03] negatory: you could add an entry in /etc/hosts to make daisy.ubuntu.com resolve to 127.0.0.1 [03:04] hey [03:04] kiwii: i used to, till i bought a laptop [03:04] sorry [03:04] bob__: what's the graphic hardware? [03:04] antony__ how long ago? [03:04] what flavor? [03:04] ActionPa1snip: I was actually wondering if anyone knew the cause? Or what daisy.ubuntu.com even is? [03:04] kiwii: about 12 months ago [03:04] how can I add a custom default application to the Default Applications in Ubuntu? [03:05] antony__: was it usable? [03:05] Intel 945 [03:05] kiwii: I found it to be running ok, are you using the netbook edition? [03:05] antony__: no, haven't tried that yet. so you were on 11.04? [03:06] I have googled and looked around on some forums [03:06] negatory: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie-daisy/+bug/913694 references it (see the last posts) [03:06] Launchpad bug 913694 in whoopsie-daisy (Ubuntu) "[MIR] whoopsie-daisy" [Undecided,Fix released] [03:06] kiwii: yes i was but i was using the netbook edition as it is made for netbooks, It's better proformance. [03:07] antony__: cool I will try that, thanks. i was just trying to resist unity at all costs [03:07] kiwii: You need to use the netbook edition as, netbooks aren't very powerful. [03:07] antony__: you didn't happen to happen to have a poulsbo graphics card in your netbook, did you? [03:07] kiwii: or use Lubuntu if you want a more traditional desktop :) [03:08] kiwii: No, it was intergrated intel card. [03:08] antony__: most netbooks are more powerful than anything I own [03:08] ActionPa1snip: it's for my g/f, and she needs something that's a little more easy to configure [03:09] i was thinking about XFCE [03:09] even though I like LXDE way better myself [03:09] Kiwii: If you dont like unity, use 11.04 or 11.10 and install the gnome classic panel :) [03:09] bob__: have you tried "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils" (without quotes) [03:09] 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.

[03:42] 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?

[03:51] alex_: that's an OT question, but ubuntu was origionally a "user friendly" debian derivative. now it's something else... [03:52] 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] Jagst3r15: supplying "lscpi | grep -i audio" might help the channel. i have no idea (but haven't searched with relevant data ;) [03:53] 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] all my files still be there [03:54] so anyone can help me? please? [03:54] 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] ikesmasher: Uhhhhhhhm [03:54] zykotick9 its like to turn off sound hardware [03:55] fn-troll: mixing distros is insanity. mixing versions is crazy.

[04:15] 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] it was silent fn-troll...what do i do then [04:16] sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 [04:16] 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] yet that user cannot create files in that directory?

Cheap insurance :) [04:28] chobbs: exactly.... [04:28] Cheap isnt a universal word. [04:28] :/ [04:28] cheap is subjective [04:28] got mine for$99 [04:28] ikesmasher: well, think about how much those weeks of downloading will cost you [04:29] probably a couple of keyboards with heads bashed into them xD [04:29] ikesmasher: fair enough. re-downloading isn't too bad, but losing pics from your camera, OTOH, much more painful. [04:29] people love learning the value of backups the hardest way possible [04:29] yea we had an SD card get snapped in a car accident...pictures from the last 5 years, gone [04:30] that was baddddd [04:30] but yea, as soon as i get a desktop, im getting some sort of fallback plan [04:31] you can get a free 5Gb account at ubuntuone, you can put a bit of stuff there [04:31] 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] and 2Gb at dropbox [04:31] ikesmasher, snapping an sdcard makes a car accident? geez [04:31] lol [04:31] ikesmasher, not like you had ducttaped the sdcard at the bumper of the car or anything [04:32] 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] chobbs, if i'm in sftp> how to change the local directory? [04:32] its like a 1 in a million chance [04:32] chobbs, once i logged into server sftp....within the command, how to change local directories around locally? [04:33] 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] s/suggest/siggest/ [04:33] 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] phong_: lcd changes local directory. Check 'man sftp' for other examples. [04:34] ok thanks chobbs [04:34] * Debolaz finds that some manual pages are highly defective even for people with a clue. [04:34] 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] ikesmasher, ever hear of sdcards that can do wifi? [04:34] yes [04:34] phong_: Or get really lazt, and download filezilla. Nice scp client :) [04:35] s/lazt/lazy/ [04:35] http://highscalability.com/ [04:35] 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] 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] chobbs: nautilus can access SFTP quite happily [04:36] Good evening everyone [04:36] ikesmasher, i'm gonna need a new camera here too lol [04:36] evening [04:36] aha yea its not fun [04:37] Would anyone here happen to have experience and/or be running SLI? [04:37] Trying to figure out if it's working appropriately or not [04:37] ActionPa1snip: Cool. Do you just use a sftp:// construct to use it? === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid [04:38] 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] 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] 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] yea, i wish i had that [04:39] so it like autotransfers [04:39] ? [04:40] ikesmasher, yes [04:40] how to install rpm file ? [04:40] ikesmasher, i believe it gets prepped on the desktop, guessing that linux bundle can do it [04:40] mhm [04:41] himanshu_m786: Never tried it, but found this via google: http://www.howtogeek.com/?post_type=post&p=121 [04:42] I am guessing that by the silence, noone's played with SLI [04:43] Rype? [04:43] 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] ikesmasher, whats cool is that i have an ipod touch, there's a app i can use.. pretty [04:44] hi guys does anyone have expirience with HP dv7 sound issue in new ubuntu releases? [04:44] and how to get rid if it? [04:44] so it transfers photos from your ipod to the PC whenever you connect to the network [04:44] Opica: what is the issue? [04:44] ? [04:44] 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] 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] 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] Jonii: dash stores recent files and apps you have used.. [04:46] ohhh [04:46] 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] thats cool too [04:46] 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] 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] doesnt say ipod on their page, but i just instaleld it on my ipod.. [04:47] 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] 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] 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] ah. [04:47] 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] 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] 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] BTDT_Desk: i've never run sli... [04:48] 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] Jonii: there is gnomedo I guess [04:48] 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] ActionPa1snip: gnome-do is mono :( [04:49] 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] Jonii: those are the recent programs, not random at all [04:49] Jonii: whatever you use it will be 2 clicks or a press and a click, think about it [04:49] 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] 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 .? [04:49] 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 [04:49] Jonii: or you can press ALT+F2 and type app names [04:49] himanshu_m786: don't use alien [04:50] I run squid and privoxy however I am not able to tell squid that it needs to pass privoxy any Ideas? [04:50] ActionPa1snip: win button seems a lot easier [04:50] himanshu_m786, no you cant.. its too problematic.. what app is it? maybe its already avail for ubuntu [04:50] it's able to guess [04:50] wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [04:50] dmesg [04:50] lspci [04:50] lsmod [04:50] aplay [04:50] amixer [04:50] Opica: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:50] alsactl [04:50] 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] 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] jagginess : it is auction signing usb driver . [04:52] 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] Opica: try: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [04:52] 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] Jonii: you can add apps to the launcher as you need [04:53] Jonii: you can slide it up and down and selct what you need and the launchers will compress etc [04:53] ActionPa1snip: that is true, but i want to separate launcher and open window manager [04:53] MrMirth1, you can ship it to my address thank you :) [04:54] Jonii: I don't think that is possible, you could add a dock [04:54] .. [04:54] That was what I originally asked for. "Is it possible to separate those two things?" [04:54] interestingly enough the solid state drive is made in the USA [04:55] 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] 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] hi guys [04:55] MrMirth1: Wow, what are the odds :) I love the SSD in my laptop. Insanely fast. [04:55] Jonii: you could add a dock like AWN or docky, you can't get another Unity launcher [04:55] 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 [04:55] glibc-devel and zlib are not found in my machine/repo [04:56] chobbs what brand is it? [04:56] ActionPa1snip: I'd like to get rid of Unity Launcher, actually [04:56] MrMirth1: No idea. It shipped in my Mac. [04:56] dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh [04:56] * chobbs ducks. [04:56] 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] this is a Super Talent [04:57] 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] ikesmasher, gdisc? [04:57] gdisk* [04:57] 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] MonkeyDust: +1 Jonii [04:57] ikesmasher, that can happen if you manually partition your drive without resizing the filesystems (gparted prevents this) [04:58] Jonii: you could enable the scale compiz plugin and use a hot cornet like Mac does to show all windows [04:58] [sn]droidman: :) Most of my day is spent with a terminal on it open to my ubuntu servers :) [04:58] MonkeyDust: but I like Unity overall a lot. It's safe, even though I dislike some of its design ideas [04:58] can it happen with a very corrupted partition table? because it was working quite fine in windows...before i screwed crap up [04:58] hmmmm might be a runcore [04:58] 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] k [04:58] s/sn/an/ [04:59] ikesmasher, its possible yuo lost data.. [04:59] the data is still there when i browse [04:59] its all still there [04:59] ikesmasher, doesnt mean anything === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [04:59] 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] ? [05:00] ikesmasher, the filesystem index doesnt mean the storage may have been overwritten (the index is at the beginning of the partition) === karen_Deckers_ is now known as karen_Deckers [05:00] ikesmasher, (filesystem index) [05:01] ikesmasher, it's also bad. [05:01] ikesmasher, you could have 2 filesystems corrupt.. [05:01] idk [05:02] ikesmasher, did you format the last partition? then you're in real trouble.. [05:02] 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] i have no idea what that means [05:02] ikesmasher, (dotn format the last partition) [05:02] i didnt no [05:02] ikesmasher, well you did manually play around with the tables..

Hoping to get audio out via HDMI on it. My mobo's HDMI isn't supported for audio out. [05:05] ahwhat [05:06] chobbs, then give me your motherboard :) [05:07] jagginess: well, I kinda need it to plug the card into :) [05:07] CPUs? pchh, who needs those [05:07] chobbs, maybe on bleeding-edge kernels the hdmi works from the motherboard [05:07] chobbs, btw what audio chipset is used on the mothterboard? [05:08] jagginess: I'm being lazy, and running a pretty vanilla ubuntu setup for this box. [05:08] chobbs, lspci -nn would say i suppose [05:08] jagginess: It's an ATI Radeon 4200 [05:08] chobbs, does audio too? [05:09] switching to nvidia seems the right choice.

[05:39] meditator just in a terminal [05:40] ubuntu 12.04 LTS Radeon 4250 trouble, help :( [05:40] !ask | pardi [05:40] pardi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:41] chobbs, i believe its the same ~/.asoundrc you can try.. [05:41] jagginess: Yeah, I tried it with no joy. Looks like it should be the same. [05:42] chobbs, i believe there's another expression format, you can try pcm "hw:x,y" if im correct.. [05:43] 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] jagginess: just a single line like this? pcm "hw:1,3" [05:43] meditator i'm testing a similar script here [05:43] pardi:whats your question mate? [05:44] MonkeyDust, thanks.. i'll wait [05:45] 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] im needing to install a flash plugin. is their a recommended one? [05:45] Hello, does anyone have the experience in changing the MAC address of a # 3G network adapter/card/modem? [05:45] meditator best is to not wait for only me, repeat the question from time to time (but not too often) [05:45] MrMirth: the one from software centre, adobe flash plugin [05:46] chobbs, gonna see [05:46] MonkeyDust, alright thanks [05:46] Hello, could anyone help me out with a script please? [05:46] I have a number of folders (around 150) - there are 5-6 mp3 files in each folder (tracked).

[05:49] MonkeyDust, so it is the same script you told me earlier is it? [05:50] i need to change a color in the python syntax highlighting scheme [05:50] meditator it's find ~ -name "*.mp3" -exec cp {} ~/test/ \; replace test by whatever name you choose [05:50] 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] meditator you may want to use mv instead of cp [05:52] chobbs, hey that chipset is "certified" whatever that means lol http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:1002:970F-AUDIO/ [05:53] chobbs, i believe you can get it to work.. provided the full/proper ~/.asoundrc file is set [05:53] chobbs, btw does alsamixer run?

Crossing my finger that dropping in the GT430 makes this annoyance go away :) [05:57] chobbs, maybe add your user to "audio media pulse pulse-access" groups [05:57] chobbs: sudo aplay -l | grep -i hdmi [05:58] chobbs, "Txoof can play media in Unity and the default output goes through the HDMI connected TV as expected."

[06:03] chobbs, you should give a feedback entry, saying the problem is on your system too.. helps bring awareness tothe problem [06:03] jagginess: Checked, user is membre of all groups (except media, which does not exist on my system) [06:04] chobbs, what does it say in pulseuadio.conf ? [06:04] chobbs, and /etc/asound.conf ? [06:05] L3top: Interesting. There should be no intel on my AMD board though? [06:05] what is most suitable for a 80gb hd partition C: D: or use only one partition [06:05] chobbs: sudo aplay -l | grep card0 [06:05] no asound.conf, no pulseaudio.conf that I can see [06:05] L3top: no output [06:05] yeah.. sorry [06:05] an0n linux does not use letters C D etc, it uses partition [06:05] s [06:05] chobbs: sudo aplay -l | grep 'card 0' [06:06] MonkeyDust: yes [06:06] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] [06:06] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] [06:06] an0n: i would go for the whole disk as 1 partition [06:06] ok, so it starts from 0..

Not following. [06:08] 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] 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] chobbs: speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:1,3 [06:09] L3top: Interesting. So I need to blacklist the SB device so that HDMI gets promoted oto that slot? [06:09] correct chobbs. [06:09] chobbs, aplay -L doesnt show the numbers as clearly? (you mentioned you did aplay -l that looks better) [06:10] L3top: speaker-test runs, but no output [06:10] L3top, he's trying to get hdmi to work [06:10] chobbs, but what is plugged in? (analog and hdmi?) [06:11] I am aware jagginess. chobbs, to be clear you have unmuted everything... including using f6 and swapping to card 1 in alsamixer? [06:11] L3top: is there an alsa URL? [06:11] who can tell me that what's the meanning of casper when we use the grub command "kernel /vmlinuz boot=casper"? [06:11] jagginess: both. switching on my receiver to see if anything is coming out. [06:12] summershyn: it;s the compressed file on the liveCD as far as I am aware [06:12] 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] 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] an0n: this is an ubuntu channel, not windows help [06:12] I am not sure I follow ActionPa1snip. [06:12] summershyn: the casper file uses squashfs and holds the live environemt [06:12] L3top: correct, I;ve used alsamixer to ensure that card 1 (HDMI) is unmuted. It shows as S/PDIF, which seems right? [06:13] an0n type /join ##windows [06:13] L3top: the alsa-info.sh file, has it been used to generate the alsa info URL? [06:13] an0n: i would sugest installing ubuntu fast and loose windows :p [06:14] 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] /msg NickServ identify micheal22 [06:16] L3top: So if I wanted to blacklist the SB device, how would I do so? [06:16] lol === freelikegnu is now known as _awaylikegnu [06:17] chobbs: It can appear as s/pdif... or iec958xx etc, or HDMI... if you press f6 in alsamixer what are your options? [06:17] 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] L3top: just card 0 (HDA ATI SB) and card 1 (HDA ATI HDMI) [06:17] an0n: its possible to run 2 monitors on ubuntu [06:18] and if you choose card 1 it shows as spdif? [06:18] L3top: correct [06:18] 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] lotuspsychje: In a radeon xpress 200m?

[06:24] chobbs: ^ [06:25] jagginess: The one here? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/201926 No joy. [06:25] 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] to be honest I have never run across this on ati with intel being involved... still looking chobbs. [06:25] an0n:its worth a try with latest ati drivers for ubuntu and xrandr [06:26] L3top, ouch another module can load that ati hdmi.. [06:26] OO [06:26] omfg.. linux is so cruel [06:26] lol [06:26] 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] meditator great, but my script *did* work for me :-) [06:27] an0n: man xrandr in terminal [06:28] bbl [06:28] an0n, it wont work, it'll take more than xrandr..

[06:32] doh [06:32] good point on the 0. [06:32] 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] chobbs: and this is going to the TV or an amp? [06:32] from hdmi [06:32] L3top: TV first, then amp. [06:32] L3top: And my roku works just fine through the tv [06:33] chobbs: how did you get that HDMI into position 0 btw? [06:33] 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] gnite everyone [06:35] L3top: Added the following to alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel index=-2 [06:35] should just stick with the tv for now chobbs. [06:35] chobbs: so there is nothing in card 1 then correct? [06:36] One second... there is something weird you have to do for ATI I remember now. [06:36] L3top: card 1 is now the SB [06:36] o rlly [06:36] oh btw, did you just reload alsa after that? [06:37] L3top: right. what i added forced it out of slot 0. I rebooted. [06:38] btw chobbs are you using the fglrx driver in the repo? [06:38] how big is the performance penalty on using ubuntu installed with wubi vs native? [06:38] L3top: I've got fglrx loaded. How do I confirm that I have it from the repo? [06:38] google offers only some old articles on this [06:39] thats it.. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1" [06:39] do dat and reboot. [06:39] L3top: OK, I had tried that before, and ended up with a black screen. [06:39] chobbs: if you didnt download the driver from ATI, then you got it from the repo [06:39] L3top: Which is when I was convinced I wasn't going to get this card working :) [06:39] s/was/got/ [06:40] chobbs: then you have to update grub... this is the only way it can work afaik. [06:40] L3top: pretty sure I'm using the repo driver. [06:40] btw chobbs... do not be too eager to get the latest ATI stuff... they have dropped support for your card. [06:41] will no longer work. [06:41] 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] anything past 12-5 on their side. [06:42] gt 430 is a pain in the buttox too. [06:42] L3top: I didn't need to hear that :( [06:42] L3top: The mythtv folks seem to like it :/ [06:42] less of a pain than the ATI. [06:43] Our project uses Myth... but we are on an older version... I am sure it will be fine. [06:43] L3top: when you say update grub, are you talking about something from backports? [06:44] chobbs: after you add radeon.audio=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT you have to update grub [06:44] actually, looking now and I do have radeon.audio=1 in my grub [06:45] L3top: and I'm looking at it at boot time, so it was updated [06:45] chu must to sudo update-grub !!! lol [06:45] got black screen? [06:46] this is a kernel bug btw. [06:46] no, no, I rebooted and went into edit mode in grub to see the settings. [06:46] so it's been turned on since the last time I trid to tackle this (45 days ago) [06:46] k [06:46] please to update-grub [06:46] lol [06:46] I am just a stickler for routine.

I get sent back to the login screen. So I just issues reboot / halt via ssh instead. [06:49] And that's on two separate boxes.

How do you expect me to get help if i cant ask from an OS [07:00] L3top: cool, checking it now [07:01] Douglas, it sounds like your DE is not loading. In this terminal, is it prompting you to login? [07:01] it's just a blinking _ awaiting input [07:01] should I try "startx" ? [07:02] If it aint asking you for a login... that aint gonna go [07:02] You have to login before you can issue commands. [07:03] Douglas: if you hit ctrl alt f2 do you get a login prompt at terminal? [07:03] alt f2 doesn't open anything. I can enter text but it's just kinda.. meaningless [07:03] ctrl alt f2? [07:04] It should take you to tty2 [07:04] which may have a login prompt... if it got that far before hanging [07:04] Hi I ubuntu 12.04 along with windows 7. My problem compiz keeps crashing often. [07:04] 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.

[07:07] 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. === dArKd3ViL is now known as darkdevil_ [07:07] L3top: yes it is identical [07:07] D1, yes, it makes a difference, but you can choose either of them [07:07] tensorpudding: hummm... yes is strange it is not booting [07:08] D1 then the image is not the problem. You have some piece of hardware that is tripping it up. [07:08] L3top: i shall try burning in another new DVD [07:08] D1 if you dropped it to USB with the same behavior, I don't think the burn is bad.

[08:09] IlikeMoose, type in "lsusb" [08:09] IlikeMoose, do you see usb root hubs? [08:09] L3top: I was wondering which solution would be the best/easiest to do [08:09] IlikeMoose, if yes, you should also see, if they're 2.0 or 1.0 or 1.1, or whatever. [08:09] IlikeMoose, apart from lsusb you can check dmesg. [08:09] bus 1 says 2.0 but the rest say 1.0 [08:10] L3top: it seems that this page give multible solutions and reading them, I can't really figure out which would work better [08:10] err 1.1 [08:10] andrewh192: I would go for sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [08:12] 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] ok [08:13] L3top: i did that, and nothing happened.... [08:13] L3top: it just went to another prompt [08:13] L3top: was it supposed to have some verbose logging of what's happening? [08:13] wdp: still reading through dmesg [08:14] IlikeMoose, dmesg | grep usb [08:14] L3top: like when u install something via a terminal session? === Guest12917 is now known as rich97 [08:16] 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] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1097920/ [08:18] L3top: or is it just that quick? [08:18] Ideas on why checkinstall failed? ^ [08:18] wdp: my kindle is listed as a 1.0 device weird [08:18] *ideas [08:18] IlikeMoose, i don't have a kindle, but whats the problem? bandwidth? [08:19] I love razer and the speed of it [08:19] look [08:19] o/ [08:19] L3top: yay, its fixed... [08:19] L3top: thanx [08:20] 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] IlikeMoose, your computer has just ide.. 33, 66, 100, 133? [08:21] 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] IlikeMoose: if you get an internal drive you can also get an external caddy should you change your mind [08:21] wdp: how can i find out? i know it's just ide at least i'm pretty sure it's ide [08:22] IlikeMoose, again, dmesg :) === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [08:24] 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] kanupatar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143189/how-to-enable-relro-support [08:25] where to set environment in ubuntu 12.04. .profile .bashrc etc are not recommended? [08:25] 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] wdp: does linux list sata devices as scsi for some reason? [08:26] !env [08:26] IlikeMoose, yes, it does. [08:26] wdp: looks like i'm in luck i have a 1.5Gbps sata drive [08:27] wdp: all 40 gigs of it [08:27] IlikeMoose, no, 1,5gbs will be the link .) === andre650 is now known as witchmaster === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [08:28] wdp: here's my drive according to the serial number i got from dmesg http://www.impactcomputers.com/st3402112as.html [08:29] 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] IlikeMoose, in my case: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 224 MB in 3.00 seconds = 74.57 MB/sec [08:29] (but thats under load) [08:29] installing packages automatically loads the app startup? [08:29] during [08:30] wdp: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 210 MB in 3.02 seconds = 69.49 MB/sec [08:31] IlikeMoose, so its like 9,49 mb/s faster than usb2 if you trust the test of hdparm p [08:31] :p [08:31] wdp: maybe i'll invest in a nice big fancy 2tb drive :) [08:32] 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] thanks for the help wdp [08:34] IlikeMoose, you're welcome, help the next one with the same problem .) [08:37] Hi === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [08:39] 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] does anyone know of a player that sorts the music library by folder structure? [08:39] what happens after reporting a system error? does it actually get solved on further updates?

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

[11:25] matland2 what version of gnome are you using [11:25] frotz47_, should i rename d file?

[12:07] Pici, will i have permission to acces var [12:08] no i dont :D [12:08] jonsnow: read, yes. Write, probably not. You'll need to either use sudo or add yourself to www-data [12:08] can someone link me how to give permissions,thats big part of linux [12:08] Pici, ok open terminal,type sudo,that'll do the trick right?

[13:08] Hi.compiz frequently crashes in ubuntu 12.04. Help !. [13:08] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu as a VM. How do I get my wireless card recognized? I'm using VBox. [13:09] s_kthi, did u change smthing in the cnofiguration? did u use ccms? [13:09] rocki34, use NAT with host. Set the configuration before launching the client. [13:09] turgon: I am novice user. To my knowledge I didn't change anything. [13:10] s_kthi, is that the first time u use ubuntu? did u get the problems directly after a fresh install? :) [13:10] turgon: Will I be able to use the wireless card with the host OS and guest? [13:10] 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] s_kthi: are you sure it's compiz that is causing problems? [13:11] piotr [13:11] alaa_, eh bro ;) [13:11] L3top, ok, I just hope it won't crash my X server ! [13:11] rocki34, normally yes. u share ur internet between ur host and guest [13:12] turgon: yes bcoz the error says compiz stopped suddently. and it directs to ubuntu forums or ask ubuntu for help. [13:12] turgon: this might help http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/troublefaq.html#prob-bzip2 [13:12] rocki34 if NAT don't work, try bridged [13:12] ccc: if you read closer... you will have to CLOSE your X session for that to create [13:13] monkeydust: Yeah, my wlan0 interface pops up on the bridged adapter setting. [13:13] monkeydust: Doesn't for the NAT. [13:14] L3top, I know, but last time I ran a "Xorg -configure" on a computer, Xorg could not start anymore [13:14] hello everyone. I am using Ubuntu Classic (No effects) on a netbook with 12.04. I have two related problems.

There are a few options and I have no clue what they all mean. [13:15] 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.

[13:27] 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] 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] if this something I need to do with partitioning for the SSD to fix this? or is this something with the OS? [13:29] Topher82, you do have to enable trim in fstab, but it should work until you do [13:29] 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] Topher82, hoe old is the motherboard? [13:30] how [13:30] BluesKaj: what happens if you bring down one of the affected volumes and run fsck manually? [13:31] sipior I did fsck manually on all the affected disks , no errors reported [13:32] perhaps a total shutdown is in order then , sipior ...it's the one action I haven't tried yet [13:32] BluesKaj: anything interesting in dmesg when the volumes are mounted. [13:33] 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] hii folks, i am getting weird icon while grub and initial boot screen , it shows" Hz? " only [13:33] BluesKaj: that really shouldn't make a difference [13:33] BluesKaj: sometimes voodoo works, of course :-) [13:34] just did some updates and now gnome-settings-deamon is comsuming lots of cpu [13:34] 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] any ideas? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:34] anybody? [13:34] any idea? [13:35] Lots of questions no answers today I guess. Except VooDoo.. [13:36] 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] what is the daemon with newest ubuntu version that does the showing notification "bubbles" with pidgin [13:36] sipior: I was responding to bhagatsr actually [13:37] p1l0t: it scarcely matters. [13:37] sipior, not using a voodoo card , I'll stick with my old gt7600 [13:37] sipior: Well for context I guess [13:37] :) [13:37] bhagatsr: that sounds like your monitor not grub/boot. [13:37] Placing a little icon once signal is received. [13:38] sipior: I know its volunteers here I love you guys don't think I'm ungreatful [13:38] ya its my monitor but it should show me grub, which works when non ubuntu based distro shows perfectly [13:39] 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 === xazax is now known as Guest51288 [13:39] core i3, 4GB DDR3 ram [13:39] installed using noapci [13:39] you need noapci for video problems? [13:40] yea it won't boot without it. [13:40] always happens even before the SSD [13:40] 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? hii folks, i am getting weird icon while grub and initial boot screen , it shows" Hz? " only [13:40] so fstab [13:40] is that something I do during install or on first boot? [13:40] How could I possibly troubleshoot that? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:42] 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] l3top: this problem only shows when i install ubuntu >10.10 or other distros based on ubuntu >10.10 [13:42] it's an ocz agility 3 [13:42] Topher82: do you have a non SSD drive to test that theory on? [13:43] !details | bhagatsr I am not sure what your problem is yet... [13:43] bhagatsr I am not sure what your problem is yet...: Please give us full details.

[13:43] how long does it take for http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/irssi-plugin-silc to show up in ubuntu 12 ? [13:44] 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] 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] *ssd's firware [13:44] tanto: if it is not there at the moment it will never reach 12.04 [13:44] really??! [13:44] that's unfortunate [13:44] tanto: there are no changes to a stable-release [13:45] oo ooo thank you that was my other question [13:45] hrm why did it get removed [13:45] HOw to open port 4444 [13:45] No bhagatsr, I cannot... because you aren't giving me any information to go on... You are just trolling it seems. [13:45] 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] Topher82, if there is an option in the bios, be sure to set the sata port to use AHCI [13:45] tanto: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-silc-devel/2012-January/000545.html [13:46] tanto: debian removed it, not ubuntu, ubuntu ois just syncing from debian there [13:46] yea that was the first thing I did ^_^ [13:46] If the harddrive remounts itself as read-only how to I go back to write mode? [13:46] Topher82, there is an iso you can d/l from OCZ that you boot from [13:46] SWEET!!!

[13:57] 120?

[13:59] bhagatsr: on the back of the monitor does it list its frequency range?

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] bhagatsr: check this out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/grub-2-display-problem-882779/ [14:03] 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] mikeey, alt+f2 , type , jockey , the wizard will search for the nvidia drivers , the nvidia-current is the one to choose [14:04] L3top: and i have observed this behavior on ubuntu or its derivatives only [14:04] miaumiau: right :) [14:04] bhagatsr: I am guessing anything running grub2 [14:05] mikeey, sorry the tab filled in your nick , I guess the other mike left [14:05] maybe [14:05] i tried latest suse, fedora it didnt give any probs [14:06] i an currently using mint [14:06] bhagatsr: I don't know what grub other distros are using.

[14:17] 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] qbitza: are host and host.domain resolving to the same ip? === lub` is now known as lubmil [14:18] Yes [14:18] qbitza: when you ping them, it should show the ip.. is it the same? [14:18] l3top: I'm getting errors every time I try the 'make' command while in the aircrack dir. [14:18] qbitza: sometimes ping and dig will not resolve the address the same [14:19] imbezol, ping says it can't resolve the host [14:19] imbezol, but dig resolves both to the same IP [14:19] rocki34: I understand. [14:19] qbitza: i think ping tries to use things like /etc/hosts whereas dig does not [14:20] imbezol: I would think /etc/resolv.conf [14:20] However that file can no longer be edited directly. [14:20] qbitza: the search order is defined in /etc/host.conf [14:21] qbitza: or used to be.. the comment in the file seems to suggest it's not used anymore [14:23] qbitza: but either way.. when you use dig, are you telling it which dns server to use? === jkeiper__ is now known as jkeiper [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] imbezol, yes, I am [14:27] imbezol, also resolv.conf seems to think my DNS server 127.0.0.1? [14:28] qbitza: follow my comment above w regard to changing DNS. Simply editing resolv.conf will be overwritten every boot. [14:28] 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] L3top, or ad them to /etc/network/interfaces [14:28] kanupatar: What is a "LTIB"? [14:29] add [14:29] Linux Target Image Builder [14:29] kanupatar: how are you trying to install LTIB? [14:29] L3top: one script ltib [14:29] BluesKaj: won't that break Network Manager? [14:30] 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] L3top, don't think so [14:30] How can I have a disk partition mounted permanently? [14:30] * L3top gives BluesKaj the Spock eyebrow [14:30] qbitza: sounds like you know what the problem is.. your dns servers are not set correctly [14:30] L3top, you could check , I don't use network manager [14:31] kevinlu310, edit /etc/fstab. [14:31] kevinlu310: You could make an entry into fstab [14:31] L3top: $cf->{sudo} $cf->{rpm} --root $cf->{rpmroot} --dbpath $cf->{rpmdb} --initdb [14:31] 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] 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] imbezol, which is weird, cause under Network connections my DNS is set to the same one I used to query using dig [14:32] L3top: Thanks. How can I do that? [14:32] kevinlu310, be mindful. Take a backup. [14:32] am i right? [14:32] L3top, nope modifying /etc/resolv.conf makes no difference [14:32] sigmundk: OK. [14:32] qbitza: do you get dhcp? [14:32] !init | circlicious [14:32] kevinlu310, ask and you shall receive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [14:32] circlicious: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [14:33] auronandace: no ia m just trying to ge tthe idea, was i right? [14:33] imbezol, Yes, I can - but this machine is supposed to have a static IP [14:33] qbitza: that is what I said. You CANNOT do that. [14:33] 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] L3top, I tried anyway - but it seems it has no effect [14:33] L3top: did you notice the line i pasted in from the script who caused the issue? [14:33] that [14:33] hey [14:34] circlicious: oh sorry, i'm not familiar with the boot process, i only know that ubuntu uses upstart [14:34] qbitza: i can't even remember how i have this one set up. i hate that gui network manager [14:34] !upstart | circlicious [14:34] circlicious: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [14:34] 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] kanupatar: Your script needs to be modified. This is not really an ubuntu support issue. [14:34] 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] qbitza: like i want to check how it's configured for ya right now.. but it won't open === Jens is now known as Guest60954 [14:35] it never makes it past the initial loading screen [14:35] qbitza: Connection Information and Edit Connections do nothing [14:35] L3top: what changes i need to do? === Guest60954 is now known as jbache [14:35] Seems we 're going back to good old /etc/network/interfaces [14:35] L3top: why --force-debian is not supported? [14:35] Just a Q though - is 12.04 bundling some sort of DNS cahce? [14:35] I don't have any idea kanupatar. And this is not an Ubuntu issue. Contact whomever maintains that source code/script [14:35] qbitza: probably your best bet. that way it starts the interfaces without the gui up too [14:36] k, let me try that [14:36] Thanks guys [14:36] qbitza: is bind or named running? [14:36] qbitza: otherwise, probably not [14:36] L3top: hi dear , why --force-debian is not supported in ubuntu 12.04 and safely it runs in ubuntu 9.04 [14:36] kanupatar: clearly it has been depreciated. [14:36] imbezol, no... but dnsmasq is! [14:37] !wfm | kanupatar [14:37] kanupatar: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [14:37] qbitza: oh really? weird [14:37] any ideas here? [14:37] imbezol, I did not install it, must be part of the default install... [14:37] qbitza: still on 11.04 here as it's a work laptop and i can't have the gui messed up [14:38] Resinator: have you checked the md5sum of the image you are burning? [14:38] 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] no [14:38] imbezol, I've played with dnsmasq before - I'll see if I can tweak anything [14:38] i just burned the iso, tried to boot from it, and during the initial loading screen it freezes [14:39] qbitza: yeah me too.. but on a server that was a network router [14:39] imbezol, exactly [14:39] 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] Not supported. [14:40] imbezol, great! one entry: server= [14:40] L3top: this was successful in ubuntu 9.04 [14:40] kanupatar: things change [14:41] kanupatar: as L3top suggested contact the script maker [14:41] auronandace: how it supported installing rpm in 9.04 and why not in 12.04 ? [14:41] Hello, how could I set acpi=off forever? [14:41] auronandace: what i need to tell him? [14:41] !alien [14:41] kanupatar: i didn't say installing rpms work in 9.04 [14:41] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [14:42] kanupatar: what version of rpm do you have? "rpm --version" [14:42] Is it literally impossible to install aircrack on ubuntu? Even if compiling from source [14:42] so how can i get this thing to install? [14:42] Jacruth, its an option that goes in the grub config, then you have to update grub to enable [14:42] uhm, googling it. [14:42] Resinator, get the apt/ubuntu version [14:43] how do i get that [14:43] 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] look in the package manager [14:43] Resinator,^ [14:43] package manager?

[14:46] <_val_> Thanks in advance [14:47] When i connect my modem directly into the computer via USb it will not detect it [14:47] _val_, it should count down and boot after a certain time [14:48] brb i gotta go get the disc out of my laptop [14:48] !modem | Dako300 [14:48] Dako300: You want to connect via dial-up?

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...

[14:56] 12.04 LTS [14:56] Linux 3.4.4 [14:57] what does ifconfig reveal Dako300? [14:57] 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] Rather, I can't find the option to disable them [14:57] Dako300: why the newer kernel? [14:58] it was avalible [14:58] but the kernel is self-compiled and it works perfeltly [14:58] Dako3000: it isn't supported, just so you know [14:58] that makes sense... [14:59] It isnt supported as in the driver isnt or its impossible to get it to work [14:59] 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] 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 === Dako3000 is now known as Dako300 [14:59] Dako3000: as in if you ask for help here and have a custom kernel we can't help [14:59] L3top: any help? [14:59] ok im on the computer with the iso file, could i get that link to the md5sum app for windows again? [15:00] ok then [15:00] why can't you sudo p1l0t? [15:00] Thank you, L3top. [15:00] 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] 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] L3top: just so you are aware using compiz settings manager can break unity [15:02] 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] L3top: Yeah I was hoping to do this without rebooting.. but I guess no choice right? [15:02] 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] Ok [15:03] what package do i need to install a .deb file? [15:03] tjingboem: what are you trying to install? [15:04] !software | tjingboem [15:04] tuxboot [15:04] tjingboem: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb though usually you should stick to the repositories using apt-get [15:04] dpkg, tjingboem [15:04] thank you people, i will try and hope all goes well :) [15:05] okay i need the original md5 to verify its the same [15:05] for ubuntu 12.04 [15:05] whats some nice pseudo-gui traffic monitor for ubuntu server? [15:05] used some, but dont remember name [15:05] tjingboem: just so you know, using software outside the repos can cause dependency issues [15:06] drag0nius lsof -i [15:06] i mean network traffic [15:06] 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] Ziber: depends on your partition layout [15:07] Resinator: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS [15:07] Ziber: should be easy though, requires a livecd [15:07] auronandace: Well, ubuntu currently has 50gb of my 500gb HD. the rest is windows. [15:07] auronandace, is there a way to use synaptic? [15:08] okay i checked the md5 and it's exact [15:08] can i add it as a repo? [15:08] tjingboem: it doesn't look as if tuxboot is in the repos [15:08] Ziber: please backup before any partition growing/shrinking [15:08] L3top: of course. [15:09] but it wont break ubuntu or anything, will it? [15:09] so is there any other reason aside from the md5 that could cause it to freeze before booting the installation cd? [15:09] Ziber, moving the front of the partition that contains /boot might force you to reinstall grub, but nothing should break otherwise [15:09] can i do a check before it will break my system with dpkg, auronandace [15:09] ? [15:09] Resinator: hardware unsupported? [15:10] 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] Ziber: ^ [15:10] escott: /boot isn't in its own partition... [15:10] it wont even load the installation [15:10] tjingboem: i'm not much of an expert with dpkg sorry [15:10] tjingboem: i just wanted you to know that there could be problems [15:11] i see, thanks for the warning [15:11] 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] tjingboem: no worries :) === Guest27665 is now known as harikt [15:12] tjingboem: sudo dpkg -i --dry-run package.deb [15:12] 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] there must be a way to make this cd boot [15:13] Resinator: maybe try booting from a usb instead === kracker|away is now known as kracker|zombie [15:13] Ziber: installing windows after linux will overwrite the MBR, and you will need to reinstall grub and update it [15:13] Resinator: you could try the cd in another pc to see if it boots there [15:13] wonder what the library would think about that [15:14] L3top: so install windows, go back into livecd for linux and update-grub? [15:14] Hou1: How much free space do you have out of curiosity? [15:14] Ziber: correct sir. You will need to bind /dev and chroot into the install partition I believe. [15:14] Resinator: you are trying to boot a livecd in a library? [15:15] no but the only other computer available is a library computer [15:15] im just trying to boot the installation cd on my laptop [15:15] afk [15:15] l3top 40gig corsair ssd, 27.1gb free [15:15] 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] i get the initial loading screen and the blinking orange dots for about a minute then it just stops working [15:16] L3top: and how would i do that? [15:16] Resinator: how long do you wait? [15:16] i waited for about 20 minutes [15:16] Resinator: oh, that is a bit much [15:16] Resinator: not an old laptop is it? [15:16] yeah [15:17] i figured ubuntu would run better than windows 7 === kracker|zombie is now known as kracker[BDC] [15:17] which is on it now [15:17] anyone knows what's going on with ubuntu 64bits installing libfreetype6-dev:i386? [15:18] buon giorno!! [15:18] Resinator: could try booting from a usb instead [15:19] don't have one handy :*( [15:19] killown: MOST 64bit software is 32bit software. Is it causing a problem? [15:19] L3top: what? [15:19] L3top, last upgrade messed up the package system, I was able to compile wine before [15:20] lol [15:20] auronandace, apt-get install build-essential:i386 also is broken [15:20] Very little software actually utilizes anything 64bit... I would guess 8%. [15:20] well im gonna try to boot this installation disc one more time :/ [15:21] L3top: oh, that is more accurate and understandable [15:21] hello [15:21] if that dont work i'll just go back to windows xp :/ [15:22] Resinator: sounds like the cd is defective or maybe it doesn't like your hardware [15:22] oops, closed that right when u said something to me [15:23] what was that? [15:23] Resinator: sounds like the cd is defective or maybe it doesn't like your hardware [15:23] pretty standard hardware [15:23] intel [15:23] Resinator: intel what? processor? graphics? [15:24] intel mobo/graphics/processor [15:24] Resinator: recent? as in 2011-2012? [15:24] nope [15:24] pretty old [15:24] pentium M 1.8ghz [15:25] Resinator: should be fine, likely it will take a while to boot [15:25] im gonna give it one more shot [15:25] thx [15:25] Resinator: the livecd is rather slow even on modern hardware [15:25] Resinator: no worries :) [15:25] is the livecd different that the install cd [15:25] that = than [15:26] 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] Resinator: yes, i'd expect the install cd is much quicker (less to load) [15:26] oh [15:26] im trying the install cd [15:26] 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] not the livecd [15:27] * Ziber writes that down [15:27] By mount the install, you mean where it puts windows? [15:27] By the way, this is for 11.10 [15:27] malibu: 3.2 is default in 12.04, you don't need a ppa [15:27] Will windows play nicely with something already installed? [15:28] auronandace: I have to use 11.10 for work [15:28] But I need the 3.2 kernel [15:28] !mainline > malibu [15:28] malibu, please see my private message [15:29] L3top: By mount the install, you mean where it puts windows? [15:29] 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] glebihan: I'd really rather build from the ppa [15:30] malibu, what ppa ? === unraroFF is now known as unrar [15:30] rehi === JotaK2 is now known as JotaK [15:30] Hi [15:30] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [15:30] mythbuntu-desktop: Depends: mythbuntu-default-settings but it is not installed. [15:30] All the instructions online indicate to use ppa:francisbrwn/kernel [15:30] Ziber let me give you some other things to mount... just in case... [15:30] malibu, using a ppa for the kernel is quite unsafe... [15:31] 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] glebihan +1 [15:31] L3top: not doing this right now, i'll be doing this later this afternoon. it's my friend's laptop. [15:31] 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] Ziber: what OS are you using right now. [15:31] glebihan: But is there no way to use the package manager for hte kernel then? [15:31] 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] how do I fix this:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098475/ ? [15:32] 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] 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] L3top: yeah, i was just asking to prepare for it. [15:32] malibu, well, there's way (using a ppa), but I would really not recommend it [15:33] gitesh: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [15:33] glebihan: If I use the mainline, am I assured that all my modules will still work? [15:33] okay,IdleOne. [15:33] malibu, you're never assured of anything when you use an unsupported kernel [15:34] glebihan: Well I know the ppa worked fine for me [15:34] 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] malibu, then the mainline builds should cause no issue [15:34] glebihan: Ok good enough for me [15:35] what's the preferred way to get environment variables set in .bashrc to apply to programs started from the Unity launcher? [15:36] 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] sipior, did some searchingaround , found this http://everyjoe.com/technology/explanation-the-fstab-file/ [15:36] apps I start from the unity launcher are missing my custom env vars [15:36] Luke, your .bashrc won't be sourced so you can't put them in .bashrc [15:36] escott: where should I put them? [15:36] bbl...stuff to do [15:37] escott: or in other words: what is sourced for unity launcher? [15:37] Luke, you might try .profile, but i'm not sure if it will get sourced either [15:37] glebihan: Will this install update grub properly? [15:37] malibu, yes [15:38] escott: looks like my .profile already sources my bashrc by default [15:38] Luke, only if its a bash shell. which it won't be for an X session. you might also try ~/.xsession === chrisl_ is now known as chrisl [15:39] escott: ok tahnks [15:39] 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] Ziber: it means something is wrongish. I would delete everything in the /tmp directory. [15:39] 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] !pastebinit [15:39] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:39] still got the error. [15:39] hello there [15:40] jbwiv, what graphics card? [15:40] 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] Ziber, you would probably have to clear the gvfs mounts in /etc/mtab. i would just ignore them [15:40] 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] jbwiv: sounds like you are booted into single user mode perhaps... seems like a runlevel thing... but... I could be nuts. [15:40] glebihan: If I use dpkg natively, how does the package manager find updates to the kernel? [15:41] malibu, it doesn't [15:41] L3top: no, not single user [15:41] azei, you want a different CLI prompt? [15:41] jbwiv: type runlevel [15:41] glebihan: Hm, it was before when I was using the ppa [15:41] yes [15:41] L3top: 2 [15:41] that fixed it, thanks :) [15:41] escott: [15:41] escott: ^ [15:41] Hello everyone [15:41] escott: amd radeon hd 6700 series [15:41] then I am with escott... lspci -nn | grep VGA [15:41] 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] malibu, that's part of what's unsafe about using a ppa [15:42] how do I restore the previous behaviour? [15:42] azei, make a file /root/.bashrc and export PS1=..... in that [15:42] 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] glebihan: I hear you [15:42] azei, there are lots of tutorials online about bash prompts and how those can be setup [15:42] I want to transfer a setup from my home folder to win xp inside virtual box? [15:43] jbwiv, and you are using the fglrx drivers? [15:43] export what to where ? escott [15:43] 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] azei, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ [15:44] 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] 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] get ? [15:44] catch me ? [15:44] jbwiv, its likely related to kernel modesetting. not easily fixed. if you were using radeonhd it would probably work fine [15:45] L3top, not more info. one sec...I think I still have the box [15:45] IdleOne, I put the command you told me, (happening nothing). Does it reinstall mythbuntu-desktop ? [15:45] jbwiv: I agree with escott, though it might not be that tough to fix... [15:45] 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] gitesh: what do you mean (happening nothing) ? [15:45] IdleOne,(happening nothing doesn't mean) . i mean Its working:) [15:46] 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] taking so much time I had to say. [15:46] woah... [15:46] my ps1 is just [\u@\h] (\w) $ [15:46] :P [15:46] gitesh: that is good. It is taking time because you had 174 packages that needed to be configured. [15:46] jbwiv: add radeon.modeset=0 to grub [15:47] what stand for PS1 ? [15:47] wow. Thanks. IdleOne [15:47] L3top, escott: the card is AMD Sapphire Radeon FLEX HD 6770 1GB DDR5 PCIe 2.1 [15:47] welcome [15:47] jbwiv: if that does not resolve the issue or makes it worse, try =1 [15:47] I was just curious why it was such lazy reporting jbwiv. [15:47] azei, you put "export PS1=....." in your /root/.bashrc (or in ~/.bashrc) and it is then interpretted and made into the prompt [15:47] I bought it because I couldn't get nvidia to support 3d acceleration on three monitors [15:47] ... define what ? [15:48] 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] L3top, ok, I'll give that a go. Could you give me an idea of what this does? [15:48] 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] jbwiv: It enables or disables KMS modeset [15:49] i like it simple. i have one that sets the title of the window to it, too. but i prefer simplicity. [15:49] 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] IdleOne, It could not solve the problem yet. just update-manager crashed. [15:49] gitesh: paste the error to pastebin [15:49] ok [15:49] i have run "sudo apt-get install xchat" but than i get that this package doesnt exist, how can this be? [15:50] L3top, this (http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting) indicated using nomodeset. would this be the same thing as radeon.modeset=0? [15:50] so i tried booting the install cd 3 more times, still nothing [15:50] must not be compatible :/ [15:50] 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] why i cant install xchat???? [15:50] ok fine thanks escott [15:51] IdleOne, here:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098509/ [15:51] simplew: http://www.xchat.org/ get the .deb [15:51] an other question how to replace $ to € ? [15:51] jbwiv: I expect that they will achieve the same result... however I am not positive. [15:51] on my bash prompt ? [15:51] L3top, ok, thanks. Here goes nothing [15:51] Ziber: isnt supposed to exist the xchat package in ubuntu repos???? [15:51] no idea. i dont use xchat and i avoid using ubuntu repos unless i have to. [15:51] (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] i perfer self-installing the .deb's [15:52] gitesh: please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [15:52] 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] Ziber: thats a bad idea, youll have at some time libs issues [15:52] 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] simplew: eh, im pretty good at reading for it. repos are obviously easier to manage it. [15:53] xangua: http://pastebin.com/41WHYJ7S [15:53] IdleOne, sudo: /etc/apt/sources.list: command not found [15:54] gitesh: that's the name of a file, not a command. [15:54] azei: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31247 [15:54] gitesh: nano /etc/apt/sources.list [15:55] gitesh: then copy the contents of that file and put in pastebin. it has no sensitive information, safe to paste it. [15:55] i'm independency hell, plz help. [15:55] ok,IdleOne. [15:55] simplew: tried to update repositories¿ what ubuntu version do you use¿ [15:55] 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.

[15:57] i'm just getting raped pretty bad righht now [15:57] IdleOne :) , any solution? [15:57] gitesh: just a moment :) [15:58] ryannathans: ah well, what do you know, that's caused by installing skype, which is outside the repos [15:58] gitesh: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/mythbuntu-default-settings_1.08_all.deb && sudo apt-get -f install [15:58] Hey. I'm running a fresh installation of 12.04 and using the non-proprietary drivers. However, my OpenGL version is 1.4.

[16:00] ryannathans: i'm not going to bother commenting further on that [16:00] svend, what makes you say it is version 1.4? because it is glx 1.4? [16:01] escott, L3top: neither radeon.modeset=0 nor nomodeset seemed to make any difference. I'm at a loss [16:01] 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] right now i cant remove my hd,,,some nautilus xm--client wont let me remove [16:01] jbwiv: radeon.modeset=1 [16:02] escott: I ran the glxinfo command and piped the output into grep.

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] shahriyarguliyev, you can partition your hard-disk directly from window [16:06] Who is good at Ubuntu installation from WUBI Ubuntu? [16:06] shahriyarguliyev, once more? [16:06] 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] gitesh: oh sorry for flood. i've a Q [16:07] okay, IdleOne. no problem. Thank you so much for your support:) [16:07] 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] !manual @shahriyarguliyev [16:07] L3top, no love [16:07] !manual | shahriyarguliyev [16:07] shahriyarguliyev: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[16:08] 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] I wonder if my keymapping could've gotten corrupted in some way? [16:08] shahriyarguliyev :- http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [16:08] sorry jbwiv. Seems escott was right after all ;) === alfred is now known as Guest94609 [16:08] if you dont know just dont respond! i dont need that manual [16:08] 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] L3top, no problem. I appreciate you trying to help ;) [16:08] escott: Thanks for the help [16:08] shahriyarguliyev, be polite. people here are volunteer [16:09] it's OK. I'm here for answer [16:09] ;] [16:09] shahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to [16:10] shahriyarguliyev: it depends on the options you choose at install. [16:10] These options are explained in detail in the manual. [16:10] shahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such [16:10] SLart, ever installed from USB? does it overwrite new OS to the previous one's partition? [16:10] shahriyarguliyev: asked and answered. [16:11] shahriyarguliyev, it behaves the same as a cd [16:11] shahriyarguliyev: once again.. [16:11] shahriyarguliyev: no, the install won't erase your hard drive unless you tell it to [16:11] shahriyarguliyev: I'm not sure what the defaults are but you can definately install ubuntu without messing up other partitions and such [16:11] L3top, are keystrokes like alt+ctrl+f1 embedded within the X server, or are they desktop environment specific? [16:11] shahriyarguliyev: and yes, I've installed ubuntu from usb.. several times [16:12] 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] 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] shahriyarguliyev: asked and answered. [16:13] shahriyarguliyev: people have already answered you several times [16:13] shahriyarguliyev: IF you tell it to, yes. IF you designate other partitions no. [16:13] L3top, that's the thing...I tried stopping lightdm earlier, and I was just dropped to a blank black screen [16:13] dude i dont want to risk my 600 Gb IMPORTANT DATA! OK? [16:13] no login prompt [16:13] L3top: had to hard reset box [16:13] shahriyarguliyev: then listen to the answers [16:13] shahriyarguliyev: i hope you have backups [16:14] jbwiv: Oh I am definitely going to call that behavior related [16:14] L3top, agreed ;) [16:14] guess I should've mentioned that [16:14] Not thinking it has anything at all to do with keybinding. [16:14] shahriyarguliyev, no need to shout , we can read english in lowercase just fine [16:14] 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] 64-bit here but apt-get still looking in i386 packages? how to disable? [16:14] I dont need apps but DATA inside HDD. dont need backups. [16:15] L3top, it's like it can't communicate with the getty processes [16:15] shahriyarguliyev: haha, don't need backups? yeah, have fun with that... [16:15] to backup 600 Gb is impossible [16:15] shahriyarguliyev: no it isn't [16:16] where to backup then? [16:16] shahriyarguliyev: to an external drive which you have bought for the purpose of backing up [16:16] im sad this ubuntu install wont work :/ [16:16] jbwiv: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 [16:16] ahah i thought you meant clouds...i've no external storage for now [16:17] jbwiv: What kernel modules are loaded [16:17] shahriyarguliyev: then your data isn't important to you [16:17] im saving to buy one [16:17] L3top, Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci [16:17] 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] jbwiv: I believe this is related to mesagl. [16:17] jbwiv: gimme a min... does sudo chvt 1 do anything? (hopefully you will not have to reboot to get back) [16:18] L3top, I'll give it a try. brb [16:18] SLart, it is a good idea! i'll install on VM to practice. thanks [16:18] 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] shahriyarguliyev: you're welcome, good luck! [16:19] by the way do I need to do some stuff with partitioning? im not good at it [16:19] !dualboot | shahriyarguliyev [16:19] shahriyarguliyev: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:19] mwallacesd: tried running it from a terminal? just to see if there are any error messages [16:19] shahriyarguliyev: a vm is a great place to learn partitioning safely [16:19] shahriyarguliyev: you mean to partition that 600GB of data? [16:20] HDD is 700 GB. 100 Gb is for OS, 100 for DATA [16:21] 600* [16:21] 10Gb is more than enough for OS [16:21] L3top, so chvt 1 simply froze up the entire desktop [16:21] I run WIndows 7, 100 Gb is intended for C: drive [16:21] L3top had to magic sysrq my way out of there [16:21] Slart, mp3gain works with the terminal but their GUI (gtk) isan't [16:21] 10gb is "not" enough [16:21] jbwiv: you there? please ps aux | gep plymouth [16:22] *isn't [16:22] L3top, I'm here. one sec [16:22] 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] jbwiv: ps aux | grep plymouth sorry typo [16:22] Ok, I will Slart. [16:22] L3top, nothing returned [16:22] maybe 10gigs are enuff for root,swap and boot, but not with /home... [16:22] u will run all the time out of space [16:23] subz3r0: works great for me, i keep a seperate storage partition [16:23] WHy Virtual Box cannot recognise .iso files? [16:23] shahriyarguliyev: it can [16:23] ThinkT510, so youre /home is on the seperate partition? [16:23] jbwiv: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and if so will you please pastebin it? [16:23] subz3r0: nope [16:23] * gitesh just back from dinner [16:24] it only shows "Virtual machine files" [16:24] L3top, http://pastebin.com/fH3T4jFH [16:24] shahriyarguliyev: you are trying to load an iso as the hd... not a cd. [16:24] shahriyarguliyev: what are you trying to do? the iso file is used in the device manager once you've created a vm [16:25] subz3r0: even with /home included mine never gets over 8GB. Of course, data dirs in /home/user are linked somewhere :) [16:25] antukin, bleh ;) [16:25] antukin: ditto, mine is currently at 7.07gb out of 10 [16:26] 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] like the home will grow,too ... if you work a lot with a bunch of pictures... check .thumbnails.... ;) just one example [16:26] 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] "/home/user" are only config files [16:26] shahriyarguliyev, yes [16:27] for the local user [16:27] can upgrade it? [16:27] hi can i sell ubuntu cds? If i can't ask that here where should i ask? [16:27] shahriyarguliyev, yes [16:27] chumma, no you cant [16:27] so how? [16:27] shahriyarguliyev, just install the 11.10. update it.... and then do the upgrade [16:27] !upgrade | shahriyarguliyev [16:27] shahriyarguliyev: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:28] There is no error it just freeze, then I need to kill it, anything else Slart ??? [16:28] /server irc.quakenet.org [16:28] its just that easy, shahriyarguliyev [16:28] but like i said, i would recommment to update 11.10 first, then do the upgrade [16:28] -t+d [16:29] I can't open any directory or close the Window, it just freeze Slart... There is no message Error on the terminal [16:29] if you say so,.. [16:29] how to earase every data ? [16:29] 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] mwallacesd, started nautilus within ur shell? [16:29] fresh install 12.04 is best. why waste time/effort upgrading from 11.10 when it's not even guarranteed [16:30] mwallacesd: ctrl-c to close the program in the terminal and get back to a regular prompt [16:30] azei---> rm -rf / [16:30] azei, or use DD [16:30] azei, there is !!!Never to Use!!! [16:30] subz3r0: that won't even work [16:30] 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] LjL, sure, if u use a livecd... [16:30] subz3r0: you should investigate what they really want to do better before giving a command like that [16:30] he just asked, and got the answer [16:31] 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] subz3r0: it won't work from a live CD either, anyway. [16:31] 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] are you kidding rm -rf not working [16:32] azei: that command is disabled, I think [16:32] i don't want to use cd [16:32] well. then use this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX [16:32] i would like to do something like that : rm -rf / [16:32] somebody know how I can check file correctness? for example on file foo(6789ABCD).type [16:32] azei don't repeat that command here, please [16:32] !danger Please stop spouting that command in here [16:32] L3top: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:32] !warning | Please stop spouting that command in here [16:32] rm -rf / not working [16:32] Please stop spouting that command in here: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [16:32] azei: there might be some kind of parameter to make it do its thing.. check the man page for it [16:32] No, there is no log message about easymp3gain-gtk Slart [16:33] azei, you need to be root [16:33] azei: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX (where the X represents your hardisk, u wish do delete) [16:33] using sudo [16:33] "to" [16:33] mwallacesd: then I'm out of ideas..sorry [16:33] mwallacesd: lspci -nn | grep VGA [16:33] azei if you want to erase the partition, delete it with gparted, or use wipe [16:34] hello [16:34] Does anybody know which xorg-synaptics version is shipped with 12.04?

(easymp3gain-gtk) it is freezing [16:36] When i boot Ubuntu on my laptop, i get a bank screen after loading... sometimes if i wait long enough it says low graphics mode but i cant find mouse [16:36] to continue [16:36] mwallacesd: then please restart desktop.

Can it crash my desktop??? [16:37] . o O (that must have been chinese for "yes") [16:37] 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] !alternate | meelu [16:37] meelu: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:37] azei, wow. [16:37] o,no my system can't see chinese [16:37] i don't want to bother trying to fix it anymore i just want to reinstall [16:37] matland_, thought it means something like Ping Pong ;> [16:38] trism: Ok great, I read that "clickpads" where supported from 1.6+ [16:38] chumma: "While Ubuntu will not charge licence fees for this distribution, you might want to charge to print Ubuntu CDs, or create your own customised versions of Ubuntu which you sell, and should have the freedom to do so." http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing [16:38] im using a notebook, aspire one d255, i don't have a usb drive to use [16:38] noor a cd [16:38] meelu, netinstall? but never did that before [16:38] mm [16:38] 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.

[16:44] or anything [16:44] i jgot commsnd line interface nothing else [16:45] smallnation: lspci -nn | grep VGA you are probably going to have to send it directly to xrandr or create an xorg.conf [16:45] meelu: You could... maybe... debootstrap [16:45] meelu: and then install grub [16:45] meelu: sudo apt-get install packet-name [16:45] that is the way how you can install software on the command line [16:45] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 18) [16:46] smallnation: please pastebin the output of xrandr -q [16:46] but first u need to turn on internet... like ifconfig 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 [16:47] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 [16:47] LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [16:47] 1366x768 60.0 + [16:47] 1360x768 59.8 60.0 [16:47] 1024x768 60.0 [16:47] 800x600 60.3 56.2 [16:47] smallnation: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:51] is there anyway to fix this [16:52] MonkeyDust, but i can't disconnect and reconnect normally. i have to pull out the adapter and put it back in [16:52] L3top mmm that i remember i havent installed PPAs, how to check? [16:52] 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] 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] It has these huge ugly borders on both sides of the login screen. [16:53] Jak2000: I gave you the answer in the previous post ;) [16:53] heligoland refresh my memory please [16:53] Understandable. [16:53] 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] Thanks L3top. [16:53] 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] MonkeyDust, with one tweak. but now i can't seem to disconnect and reconnect using the network manager [16:54] 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] L3top ok sorry not see, [16:54] MonkeyDust, i need to physically replug the adapter [16:55] L3top [16:55] 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] L3top: but I want to use it as dual boot but not partition [16:56] 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] heligoland glad you made it, cheers! [16:56] bharath2: why? I can find no good answer to that question that warrants all of the glitchyness of wubi. [16:56] meelu, ok? [16:57] hlveheart, sup [16:57] 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] yannick_, still looking for solutions [16:57] flotwig, sup [16:57] ok [16:57] looking into debootstrap [16:57] 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] edk141, not much [16:58] just chattin [16:58] you know how it is [16:58] Don't ubuntu have a recovery system like windows? reset it to the factory default etC?

[17:07] Jak2000: sudo apt-get -f install [17:08] Ztane, cause I just recordmydesktop - but the one who need the files need it in mov format [17:08] L3top, tell me when ur back [17:08] BlueKaj, my monitor native is 1680x1050 [17:08] I am trying to figure out what would cause the behavior brandon. sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver [17:09] jacta: maybe http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/2009/06/17/how-to-convert-ogv-files-to-other-formats-with-winff [17:09] hi all [17:09] L3top, ok [17:09] L3top does that give you enough info? [17:10] TheWhiteHatter: As you are still here, have you done the obvious and uninstalled what you installed that broke your laptop? [17:10] L3top, its done [17:10] Ill give it a shot, gsr, thanks!

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] ok i still cant go in to a game theres black borders but not when on desktop unless i change to 800x600 [17:13] L3top, [17:13] k I'm back [17:13] at a friends house [17:13] so... how do I fix this? [17:14] fantastic TheWhiteHatter. Let me look into it. I just need a little time, that I don't know you had ;) [17:14] Thanks [17:14] Though my version dont have Quicktime in there - can be that I have to install Quicktime? [17:16] 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] jacta, hmm... maybe it does not support .mov [17:16] hey guys, does grub support background images higher than 1360x768 in ubuntu 12.04? [17:16] zteam, but the ss from the homepage shows Quicktime :/ [17:17] 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] 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] I should preface me logging in as them once is doing so over ssh [17:18] MonkeyDust, thanks for the link. [17:18] back [17:18] L3top, any luck? [17:19] jacta, do you have libavcodec-extra-53 installed? [17:19] k I can grab my flash drive [17:19] zteam, nop - trying [17:19] 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] Already has a few distros on it [17:20] jacta, that should install some extra codecs for you [17:20] okay one sec [17:20] I got a grub background image set properly at 1920x1080x24 and it wont show unless its 1360x768.. what gives? [17:20] can anyone suggest how to install ubuntu with out partition [17:20] zteam, it also did, but not quicktime - just saw - flv or mov is the format I need :\ [17:20] 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] 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] jacta, okey, well u can try iriverter instead [17:23] neldogz: A grub background? 24p? I dunno if grub can even display that. [17:23] will a fedora cd work? [17:23] it's all I have [17:23] L3top, i can display a grub background at 1360x768x24 [17:23] jacta, otherwise there are plenty of web pages which offer video conversation online [17:24] zteam, file will be around 130mb of not more :\ [17:24] just wish I could match the resolution of my panel [17:24] ill try the iriverter, zteam [17:24] TheWhiteHatter: I am not sure. Worth a try... will either work, or it wont :) [17:24] L3top, xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/8r82PN4N xrandr -q: http://pastebin.com/1aV9VHL3 [17:24] thanks [17:25] crap, wasn't a live CD [17:25] brb [17:25] neldogz: How are you setting this image to begin with? [17:25] using grub customizer [17:25] but since that didnt work I tried editing the etc/grub/grub but that didnt work either [17:26] well thats the problem colorsother. It cannot read the EDID of your monitor. [17:26] jacta, yeah do so, is this file going to watched on ipad/iphone or an Ipod? [17:26] zteam, its for a client - dunno what they use it for :p [17:26] how do you fix that? i dont know [17:26] sorry, etc/default/grub [17:26] help !? -->ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [17:26] pls [17:27] jacta, okey, just wondered why they did prefer .mov format :-) [17:27] jacta: sounds like with FLV or MOV requirements they want something that plays in browsers. [17:27] I think that too mneptok :) [17:28] jacta: WebM. :) [17:28] why would my install not be able to read my monitor? [17:28] iriverter only does avi as output :\ [17:28] colorsother: you will have to set it manually in xorg.conf. I will need a minute. What resolution do you want? [17:28] jacta: VMC can convert streams. WebM (being Free) is included by default. [17:28] jacta: ugh ... VLC [17:28] native is 1680x1050 [17:28] 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] scarrs, ask in a mysql channel yet? [17:29] colorsother: what kind of monitor is this and how is it connected? [17:29] bazhang: not yet, I came here first [17:29] how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter [17:29] scarrs: what command did you issue? [17:30] VGA adapter and is a Dell SP2208 [17:30] umm, is anyone else having mic trouble? my mic worked yesterday, today it will not work :'( [17:30] mneptok: mysql -u root -p -h localhost [17:30] scarrs: but you said you were creating a DB. that command just logs you in to the MySQL console. [17:31] jacta, yeah try VLC as mneptok suggests that should be able to convert it [17:31] zteam - mneptok but what format? [17:31] colorsother: tell me if cvt default 1680 1050 60 produces a modeline. [17:31] Hello, is there a package for ndb-mgm (mysql cluster management) on ubuntu? [17:31] k [17:31] how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter [17:31] mneptok: whiel installing mysql*, i get the same EXACT error while creating the initial database [17:31] sudo aptitude search ndb-mgm [17:31] jacta: you need some kind of h264 and AAC inside a QT MOV container. === bill is now known as Guest58069 [17:32] mneptok, in there Quicktime is not there too [17:32] could use the flv maybe [17:32] scarrs: so the package manager has problems creating the DB with tables for names and passwords? sounds like a packaging issue. [17:33] mneptok: I completely agree... any idea what I should do? [17:33] jacta, do you have ffmpeg and did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:33] colorsother? [17:33] well never mind L3top i changed the adpater from VGA to Digital and the install picked up my monitor after a reboot [17:33] 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] colorsother: were you using an adapter? [17:34] ahhhh i have been working on this forever and thats all it was.... [17:34] i was using analog and just switched to digital [17:34] scarrs: remove all MySQL packages. make sure nothing is left behind. see if MariaDB packages display the same behavior. [17:35] colorsother: eg dvi>vga (digital can be a few things. I would like to know your exact case for future please) [17:35] okay. [17:35] 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] mneptok: ok, biab [17:35] colorsother: okay === okay is now known as centrelink [17:35] how would you give user permission to allow say use of gcc compile or any program on a system for that matter [17:36] alright once sec L3top [17:36] have to install easygit [17:36] ty colorsother [17:37] 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] removing fancontrol now [17:37] BluesKaj, didnt have that - installing and trying again ;) [17:37] TheWhiteHatter: I would leave lm-sensors installed and use it fairly immediately while booting and listen to your fans. [17:37] jacta, yes it is avaiable, click on the hammer and u should have alot of more options [17:37] yeah i was using a VGA adapter and after switching to a digital adapter the 11.10 install picked up my monitor.. [17:38] Ok colorsother. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks. [17:38] still nothing [17:38] 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 [17:38] Hello world , what kind of application is good for photo edition ? i need something like Photo Filtre or Photoshop [17:38] :S [17:38] I removed fancontrol, and lm-sensors. Which fan control uses [17:39] TheWhiteHatter: I guess I wasn't clear. Shut down.

[18:20] wait... I can hear another fan running [18:20] the one I can see is not running [18:20] while booting up did you by any chance use the noapci option ? it sometimes prevents the fan from functioning properly [18:20] nope [18:20] Could the wiring be bad on one of my fans?

[18:25] lol [18:26] xfce is quite nice and lite - its graphics rendering ain't so good but speed wise on it rocks [18:26] and unlike the new gnome it is still quite configurable [18:26] L3top: Ubuntu 12.04 and Unity [18:26] but sometimes LXDE [18:26] islandmonkey: sudo service lightdm stop [18:26] ramkr, yup. But I prefer gnome 3 on my homesystem. for subnontebooks, netbooks xfce is very nice [18:27] Okedookeee. [18:27] 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] what I want to know is it different or same ? [18:27] 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] 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] [snake], only some [18:28] 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] gnome shell allows very little customization [18:28] default apps can all be changed [18:29] I already have xfce gnome and kde [18:29] petoo: You'll have more applications installed, but other than that, no. [18:29] but never tried "xubuntu" [18:29] petoo: nope all the intefaces will remain the same only the number of software options will increase [18:29] is there anyway to rollback versions of QT [18:29] oh ok [18:29] this nvidia qt bug is starting to interfere with my productivity [18:29] so in a sense I am using xubuntu [18:30] ll [18:30] yes [18:30] hello [18:30] <[snake]> GI_Jack, if your minecraft is running slow. go to options> and toggle "used advanced opengl" to yes [18:30] 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] [snake] this has nothing to do with minecraft [18:32] 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" === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:32] <[snake]> GI_Jack, oh... sorry. [18:32] 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] so I tried pressing TAB , and then type live and [18:32] its every qt application [18:33] like virtual box [18:33] keepassx [18:33] <[snake]> ramkr, I don't like it because it's like not one interface or something. [18:33] since I store passwords with keepassx I am fucked until this is fixed [18:33] and every python-qt app [18:33] ramkr: unity? [18:33] !unity [18:33] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [18:34] i don't like unity - it was a novelty but after a while it affects productivity [18:34] <[snake]> !notunity | snake [18:34] snake: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:34] <[snake]> opps... sorry snake [18:34] shell for gnome , like I understand [18:34] like kde plasma - similar but atleast this gives more control [18:34] 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 . but it says "could not find kernel image live" . Any ideas how to fix? [18:35] 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] i used the Universal USB installer for windows [18:37] Ola pessoal [18:37] as instructed on Ubuntu website [18:37] ramkr: can I try lxde on ubuntu [18:37] ? [18:38] 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] no, It starts with "vesamenu32 not a COM32r" . so I tried pressing TAB , and then type live and . but it says "could not find kernel image live" [18:40] missing initrd? [18:40] I read that wolfbyte. What happens if you just hit enter? Why would you expect something other than a vesamenu32 [18:42] it keeps repeating "vesamenu32 not a COM32r" on the screen , Enter has no effect [18:42] wolfbyte: have you checked the md5sum of the iso you downloaded? [18:43] no, but it was a torrent from the ubuntu website [18:43] !md5sum | wolfbyte [18:43] wolfbyte: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:44] hi [18:44] anyone know how to get synergy working?

[18:44] thanks [18:44] It is not a question of it being "unofficial" but possibly a corrupted download wolfbyte... no problem :) [18:44] 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] is there a way to tell ubuntu to lose the global password ? [18:46] for my session ? [18:47] 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] nice chat [18:47] mirak: in a terminal ? [18:47] 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] ubuntu 12.04, btw. [18:48] u are a linux user? [18:48] yes. [18:48] Ziber, sudo apt-get install wine [18:49] http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/wine.txt [18:49] :( [18:49] history -c [18:49] will clear the bash / terminal history [18:50] 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] Seveas: alright, sec. [18:50] http://imgur.com/ridXQ [18:51] now chrome's not opening? :/ [18:52] do you guys think that lxde is lighter than xfce [18:52] chrome is botnet [18:52] i think i really messed something up. [18:53] tking0036: Why? [18:53] i am installing either l/x ubuntu on an old comptuer [18:53] /join #smartphones [18:53] lxde is lighter...but xfce is so much better [18:53] really? [18:54] alright, had to fix /tmp to be globally writable since i accidentally deleted it before. [18:54] yea its really not much of a difference other than the way they look tho [18:54] now [18:54] Ziber: Thats perfectly OK. [18:54] why is xfce better [18:54] tking0036: It has more functions. [18:56] 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] Nogal, it's not installed by default, but easily installable. When installed you can choose when logging in [18:56] nope ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde, xbuntu is xfce, [18:56] Nogal: Xubuntu ships with xfce [18:57] 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] how do I get a listing of installed applications via command line [18:57] alright, so a simple "sudo apt-get install xfce" should do the trick or should I look up documentation before starting? [18:57] buttons, dpkg -l | grep ^ii [18:57] However its a bit messy you will see multiple options for the same function (software i mean) [18:57] buttons, or dpkg --get-selections [18:57] nogal, that should work [18:57] thanks [18:57] Nogal: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [18:57] Nogal: use synaptic it might be xfce4 or something [18:57] downloading sw from software center gives error -Requires installation of untrusted packages. what happens here. usung 10.04 [18:58] Seveas: http://inside.liber.in/~ziber/sources_output.txt [18:58] Nogal: the xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it will bring in all the necessary packages for XFCE [18:58] if it wasn't installed via a package manager is there any way to tell how it was installed? [18:58] i tried adding a ppa for wine earlier, but more things seem to have broekn. [18:58] alright, "xubuntu-desktop" is the package, then when I go to log in both options will be available? [18:58] Nogal: yes [18:59] 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] 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] Ziber, hmm, that doesn't look too messed up. What does this say: apt-cache policy wine ; apt-cache policy wine1.4 [19:00] thanks guys! [19:00] Ola Pessoal [19:00] how do I force ubuntu to update /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages [19:00] What packages contain tomcat as a part of it? [19:00] I need pycrypto 2.6 and I have 2.4.1 [19:00] 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] !br | Linux [19:01] Linux: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

Next bit: sudo apt-get install wine wine1.4 [19:03] upgrade to 12.04 and feel a new world [19:03] ah good point [19:03] even LTS has its limits i guess [19:03] LTS is applicable only to ubuntu server imo [19:03] People who don't know what they are talking about should know their limits also. [19:03] or corporate use [19:03] 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] sl33k_: have you recently added a PPA to sources.list? [19:04] IdleOne, yeah so you should probably keep quiet [19:04] blitz, no release of ubuntu has pycrypto 2.6. You'll need to install from source or make your code work with 2.4 === jonnyro is now known as JonnyRo [19:04] needed an unmet dependency, wine-1.4-amd (or something like that), installing that too. [19:04] Seveas, yeah I figured I'm just copying it over manually now [19:04] 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] Varikonniemi: telling someone to upgrade because they are getting a error is ridiculous. [19:04] same as with windows xp, 10.04 is ancient and should be a thing of past [19:05] IdleOne: nope for sure [19:05] hello [19:05] :) [19:05] silverghost: The boot time really doesnt matter at all. [19:05] sl33k_: can you pastebin the exact error you are getting please [19:05] Varikonniemi, very funny... [19:05] 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] seems to have installed just fine. [19:05] idk man after ubuntu 11.04 ubuntu's boot has become slow 10.10 was amazingly fast [19:05] no, im tellint to upgrade since ubuntu/linux has rhe weirdest quirks and usually a reinstall is MUCH faster than debugging it [19:05] hm, thanks :D [19:05] like this one time a game froze on me, i tried to kill -9 it, nothing happened [19:06] i booted, and unity crashed -> back to vm [19:06] how the heck is this possible? [19:06] wine doesn't have a windows 7 version? [19:06] so i just reinstalled since nobody here had a clue [19:06] Varikonniemi, so you reinstalled the system in coze of u wasnt able to kill the process? [19:06] 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] Seveas, I replaced the lib file with the one from the website and now import Crypto says "no module named Crypto" [19:06] Ziber, could you pastebin the output of all those commands, I'm curious [19:06] IdleOne: get this alert box saying - Requires installation of untrusted packages [19:06] 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] subz3r0, try to read, i reinstalled because somehow a game not running as root managed to mewsss up my unity === DanielHoff is now known as Guest12665 [19:06] so it would not start [19:07] 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] Varikonniemi, the mistake sits mostly between the monitor and the chair [19:07] when i shut down also it takes a few minute more [19:07] that is FAIL on the highest degree [19:07] Seveas: no errors, but sure. [19:07] sl33k_: close out Software centre, open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade [19:07] and as i said, here no-one had any clue, said it shoulsd not be possible [19:07] so i just reinstalled in 15 minutes and thatsw that [19:07] ramkr: Please stop adversiting inofficial ubuntu spin-offs ;) [19:07] ubuntu 10.10 is the best version [19:07] unity is a fail [19:07] 11.10 [19:07] Seveas: only thing of interest might be: "update-binfmts: warning: no executable /usr/bin/wine found, but continuing anyway as you request" [19:07] silverghost: It isnt supported anymore. Period. [19:07] !ot [19:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:08] sometimes it is preferable to just grab your usb stick and reinstall and not try to fight the proken pos [19:08] got it running now [19:08] bekks - yes its unofficial but its very good [19:08] does ubuntu have voice recognition [19:08] 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] 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] 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] I'm lost [19:08] ubuntuwannabapple lol i like oranges :D [19:08] pfdense: not dictation, but there are some things to recognize commands [19:08] pfdense: When installing those programs, yes. [19:08] what is the Hz it is recording on? [19:08] the higher the Hz, the clearer recording is. [19:09] unity is the reason mint leapfrogged ubuntu lol [19:09] 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] How do I mount an encrypted home directory stored on a USB stick?

[19:11] i am wanting to set up a gateway to connect my Xbox to the internert [19:11] 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] btu when i do i get bombarted with errors [19:11] from the Xbox and not ubuntu [19:12] ciaooo [19:12] will ubuntu do nat 1:! or N:N yet? [19:12] 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] what? [19:13] check preferences [19:13] 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] it may be there [19:13] pfdense, you can do source and destination natting with the linux kernel since a loooooooooong time :) [19:13] sl33k_: did you run update and upgrade from terminal? [19:13] Ty LjL. Did not know about those. [19:13] I found the option "start on startup" and unchecked it, but do I really have to restart to shut it down? [19:14] 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] thanks sorry ima bit new to ubuntu just checkign it out [19:14] 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] Seveas, figured it out - had to use python setup.py install [19:15] dont know why I forgot [19:15] but when i do i get an MTU error and DNS Errors [19:15] Lunar_Lander: right click on the icon (If its in the active tray) and say quit [19:15] yes [19:15] is that equivalent to logging out? [19:15] So my question is, is there a way to route traffic from the xbox to the internet and back [19:16] DanielHoffman, those instructions suck [19:16] in the file viewer (the ubuntu equivalent of windows explorer) how can i show hidden files and folders? [19:16] obviously [19:16] nope it only closes the programme you clicked on [19:16] ctrl +h [19:16] Ziber: ctrl+h [19:16] hey thanks :D [19:16] Ziber: its called "Nautilus" === sins-_b is now known as sins- [19:17] DanielHoffman, if you've edited rc.local, remove what you did, then reboot the computer [19:17] yeah, couldnt remember. [19:17] ok [19:17] any alternatives to gtk-recordmytesktop - it seems to sqrew my recording with some graphicfailures [19:17] DanielHoffman, then we'll do it properly :) [19:17] 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] subz3r0: i forgot how hard its to view hidden files in wincedos [19:17] ok [19:17] ramkr, ;) [19:17] s/Nautilis/Nautilus/ [19:18] all it says is exit 0 [19:18] #ubuntu-es [19:18] L3top: hm, alright [19:18] ok, so you didn't get tho there in the instructions yet [19:18] then just reboot to undo the runtime damage [19:19] 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] Ziber, doesnt matter. do what you like [19:19] ZIber: doesn't rythym box work at syncing ?? [19:19] or prefer [19:20] ramkr: id rather itunes. i couldnt get syncing in rhythmbox to work. [19:20] in your opinion, which option is better? [19:20] wine [19:20] never really used wine, have used virtualbox and think that for those who must use wincedos it is a really good option [19:21] empty [19:21] lets see if i can get itunes to install properly this time in wine then... [19:21] 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] 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] Ziber, you may want to test "playonlinux" [19:22] is that the name of a package? [19:22] Ziber, just checked it. itunes works with playonlinux [19:22] itunes 7 or 10 [19:23] 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] its a frontend for wine. makes the installation easier [19:23] 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] Ziber, check google... but I recommend using the DEB'S of POL. since the version of the softwarecenter is very old [19:24] 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] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098875/ [19:24] Ziber, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html | click on ubuntu [19:24] and follow the steps [19:24] can someone help [19:25] 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] jtls: what exactly do you mean phantom drive === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [19:26] DanielHoffman, did you reboot the computer? [19:26] 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] glitsj16, do you know if any got sound capture too also? [19:26] s/drive/card/\ [19:26] not yet but i did reset networking [19:26] ramkr, see L3top [19:26] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [19:26] IdleOne: doing it [19:26] L3top, ramkr , any suggestions. im at my wits end [19:26] jtls: it isn't in fstab or anything silly is it? [19:27] that doesn't do much in the network-manager world of ubuntu [19:27] 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] rebooted [19:27] no its not in fstab [19:27] Sevas: rebooted [19:27] that quick? === andrew is now known as Guest99064 === Guest99064 is now known as wajeemba [19:27] yes, it is a server installation [19:28] oh, that'd have been useful to say too [19:28] L3top, it happened when a usb drive wouldnt format. im at a loss [19:28] how did you configure the wifi? [19:28] i dont have wifi === SushiDude is now known as Guest18898 [19:28] i have 2 ethernet devices [19:28] ok, how did you configure the first ethernet device? :) [19:28] through inet and dhcp [19:28] (assuming the first one is connected to the router) [19:29] eth0 is the router and eth1 is USB [19:29] ok, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [19:29] what is pastebin?

[20:23] TheVinci: did you configure it with System Settings/Displays?

[20:27] 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] Jordan_U: okay [20:27] TheVinci: sorry, how to = how you [20:28] benassi_, can you take screenshot of alsamixer and post it on imagebin? [20:28] Well I configured my session using "displays" option. [20:29] But I'll try copying the config to the lightdm directory [20:29] That could work.

[20:41] 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] irc2samus, checked the touchpad settings in gnome-control-center? [20:43] ghostchick yes but it doesn't specify separate sensitivities for each axis [20:43] 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] irc2samus: Check Mouse and Touchpad Settings under System Settings under the gear in the top right corner [20:43] jollynips: the super button is the windows button, if you are using the compiz version, alt+super+right click [20:43] 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] trism: ive tried that, doesnt work [20:44] <__jpmorgan> so what are those little white arrows telling me plz? [20:44] trism, I'm pretty sure I'm just using unity-greeter. I never changed it from install.

[20:50] I have some troubles to see the Unity sortcuts screen when I hold the Super button in 12.04. Any suggestions ? [20:50] 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] 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] ghostchick: I'm trying that but it doesn't have any option for what I'm looking for [20:51] at least from what it recognized === g00se is now known as jellyg00se [20:51] can i aks a question about hardware? in #hardware no one answered [20:51] BluesKaj, I unpluged the headphones but mic is still pluged.. what next?

[21:00] s.. I tried connecting with the Mobile Option.. which had all the parameters like User: Password: and Phone [21:01] but that is of no use === zerobloc_ is now known as limecat [21:01] i saw many guys posting something like wvdial.cofig and something like that [21:01] As i am very new to this environment i cannot understand what they say [21:02] jollynips: in the gconf-editor treeview on the left [21:02] 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] Joyal: You know the network manager? Where you can scan for wireless networks? [21:02] This is not a wireless network [21:02] BB42, you speak of wubi? [21:02] it is a DataCard [21:03] BB42 you mean wubi? [21:03] BB42: It will be on NTFS if you use Wubi. [21:03] trism: sorry but i have no idea where that is, im in a gnome-classic session right now if that helps [21:03] ok thank you [21:03] Joyal: oh sorry, I misunderstood. Then I don't know. Maybe search on the forums [21:03] forums are very technical [21:03] BB42: wubi will create a container file on NTFS, and inside that container, there will be a linux filesystem. [21:04] Means it won't create a new Partition on the HDD? [21:04] 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] they speak greek and latin.. something like kernal, root, wvdial.. etc [21:04] BB42, correct no partition [21:04] Ok thats bad thank you again [21:04] ghostchick, [21:04] 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] trism: okay [21:04] 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] Joyal: Sorry, data card? Which model? [21:05] ciao [21:05] !list [21:05] cocuneana73: No warez here!

[21:06] <[snake]> Why was Joyal freaking out? [21:06] So,.. I think I finally figured out why I hate Unity so much [21:06] jollynips: maybe, though ccsm shouldn't mess with the (no effects) session [21:06] laggness aside [21:07] BluesKaj, now I can't here music from youtube..:/ [21:08] BluesKaj, fixes it.. it doesn't recongnise my mi..

[21:11] lets go to off-chat i guess see you there [21:12] 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] jollynips unity is a shell over gnome3 [21:13] is ubuntu capable to work as Dom0 for xen hypervisor at the moment? [21:13] 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] jollynips, and I'm not a unity fan :S [21:14] BB42, should be able to [21:14] BB42 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [21:14] 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] Seveas: Im back but i cant connect to an xbox live paarty [21:15] jollynips unity *is* gnome3 with eye candy [21:15] BB42: Instead of XEN, I'd suggest using Virtualbox. [21:16] 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] MonkeyDust: ah i get you [21:17] 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] BB42, KVM is preferred over xen by many kernel developers, and is also based on libvirt [21:18] try Qemu [21:18] 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] I've only used virtualbox/vmware/kvm [21:19] xen looks so strange :P [21:19] kvm sounds quit interesting [21:19] But I heard Xen is awesome === UICTamale is now known as BussDriver [21:20] 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] BB42: Virtualbox is KVM in better :) [21:20] 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] oh === BussDriver is now known as UICTamale [21:23] 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] Which scared me from testing out xen on my desktop comp :P [21:24] :-D studiing Computer Science forced me to have a second computer which I can blow up without loosing data [21:25] jollynips: did you check /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier in gconf-editor? that is my only other idea (it should be , if it is, that isn't the problem) [21:26] i have virtual machines =) [21:26] trism: ill have a look, think i need to download it first [21:26] Hello World [21:27] 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] 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] __jpmorgan, sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [21:31] 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] Hi guys [21:32] <[snake]> zteam, hi [21:32] [snake]: you 're* [21:32] anybody here knows how repartition a usb-stick? [21:32] trism: sorry what was the pathname again? it's dissapeared into the ever growing mountains of text in irssi [21:32] zteam gparted does the job [21:32] <[snake]> Zetta, ahh... you got me! [21:32] jollynips: /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier, it should be set to [21:33] MonkeyDust, I have tried gparted, but it doesn't seem to support usb-sticks [21:33] __jpmorgan, in the same program you opened before [21:33] zteam, it does. perhaps you have a u3 stick? [21:34] trism: aha nope it says [21:34] zteam: Sure. fdisk [21:34] [snake], you are welcome, (source: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html) [21:34] jollynips: ahh, that is probably your problem, try setting it back to [21:34] zteam: Same way you re-partition any other drive. [21:34] 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] usr13, okey, never used fdisk throught [21:35] BluesKaj, are you there? [21:35] trism: yeeeeeeeeeeeey! :) thanks [21:35] zteam, did you use the sandisk utility to remove the u3? [21:35] jollynips: no problem [21:35] zteam: Pretty easy really. Try it. [21:36] zteam: What is it sdb ? [21:36] benassi, yes [21:36] zteam: Why do you want to repartition it though? [21:36] escott, nope, I just did delete those file, after backing the mup [21:36] zteam: What is your end goal? [21:37] BluesKaj, do you have time for timeviewer.. I really want to set this up to make tutorials for youtube :/ [21:37] zteam, well a true u3 does weird things and presents itself to the os in weird ways [21:37] usr13, well for some reason my Bios refuses to boot from the usb-drive no matter how hard I try [21:37] usr13, it works quite randomly [21:37] zteam: I dont think it is a matter of partitioning but more of the MBR [21:38] I need someone to help troubleshooting why my sound has failed in KDE [21:38] zteam: or something with that particular computer. [21:38] benassi, no , sorry i don't [21:38] sirellyn: alsamixer [21:38] I used that [21:38] still no sound === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:39] 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] 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] All channels that can be are on full, none suspicous are muted [21:40] zteam: Never heard of that, (but I certainly don't know everythig. [21:40] 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] Nvidia MCP89 HDMI for chip [21:40] zteam: You can certainly creat two partitions on it easily enough. [21:40] HDA NVidia for card [21:41] Ooh nice. Steam on Ubuntu 12.04 [21:41] escott, maybe, but the usb-stick is reformated by unetbootin a couple of times [21:41] zteam: sudo fdisk -l #will show you what you have, (all drives). [21:42] 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] trism: one more thing, is it worth investigating what 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] 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] sirellyn: Do you have working speakers or headphones plugged into active / proper port? [21:44] can someone help me? youtube videos lag even on 360p which is really sad. [21:44] 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] so the speakers and splitter work [21:44] sirellyn: Ok Let's do a test: === rtapia is now known as 92AAA59HE [21:45] 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] sirellyn: Tell us if you get an error. === 92AAA59HE is now known as renuxman [21:46] dev dsp doesn't exist [21:46] bash: /dev/dsp: Permission denied [21:46] 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] even with sudo [21:47] zteam, just dmesg | tail. if its really u3 you will see multiple devices listed [21:47] sirellyn: Good clues. Is this the original user that was created when you first intalled? Or have you added a new user? [21:47] 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] original user [21:47] sirellyn: (It appears that the user you are logged into does not have permission to use audio.) [21:47] hololight, you would have to specify the uid, gid options to the mount [21:48] there is no dsp on the dev list [21:48] at all [21:48] 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] how to solve [21:48] 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] usr13: /dev/dsp seems even not acessible with root account [21:49] 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] 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] blcking idialog during the knife run. anyone an idea what to do? [21:49] I've rebooted multiple times [21:49] BB42: Well, maybe sirellyn just needs to uninstall pulse [21:49] escott, only thing I see i'ts complaining about a cd in my drive :p [21:49] I can try that. I tried a reinstall of pulse [21:49] sounds as an idea [21:49] but maybe uninstall first, then reinstall. [21:49] sirellyn: grep audio /etc/group [21:50] audio:x:29:pulse [21:50] trism: kk ill try it another time, thanks for the help [21:50] escott, http://pastebin.com/N0T28iLT [21:51] sirellyn: just uninstall pulseaudio [21:51] and reinstall? I'll try that. I'll try the uninstall purge option. [21:51] 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] Thanks for the help btw. This has been driving my crazy for last few days of google searchin [21:51] sirellyn: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [21:52] then apt-get install pulseaudio ? [21:52] sirellyn: No [21:52] ok [21:53] what next then. [21:53] sudo apt-get install sox [21:54] 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] done [21:54] 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] 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] i recently had the mother board replaced, however it was doing this before then as well. [21:55] anyone ever have this issue? [21:55] as I notice lot of people has sound problems with ubuntu 12.04 [21:55] 64 [21:55] when headphones are not inserted the sound is fine. [21:55] does it sound rigth with the earphones if you hear with another device din? [21:55] sirellyn: sudo apt-get install sox [21:55] I did [21:55] it's done [21:55] Ok. See if audio works? [21:56] DANYAL, that message would suggest that creating the wtmp file would be enough to start the logging have you tried that? [21:56] BB42, yes. i have also tried several pairs of headphones. [21:56] cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [21:56] permission still denied [21:56] I'm trying to write an upstart job and when I do sudo service 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] dsp still doesn't exist [21:56] escott yes but same issue [21:56] sirellyn: Add yourself to audio [21:56] ok [21:57] escott, okey, here we go http://pastebin.com/Yk8a6VUT [21:57] zteam, stop being so selective with your dmesg output. i can't tell you anything from that [21:57] so that at the end of the audio line it has ,sirellyn (no space) [21:58] sorry is there a command line to do that? I guess I can modify the group list [21:58] DANYAL, did you reboot? [21:58] sirellyn: sudo vim /etc/group [21:58] well, since I replugged my usb-stick and run dmesg | tail that was all I got :p === rtapia is now known as renuxman [21:59] sirellyn: if thereis a : at the end of the line, just type in your user name. [21:59] escott i think my method is wrong can u tell how to install it? [21:59] pulse is there [21:59] just type pulse,myusername ? [21:59] zteam, then use tail -n 20 or something until there is enough context to know there isnt anything before it [22:00] sirellyn: Yea, that is ok. [22:00] DANYAL, what is "your method"? [22:00] done permission still denied [22:00] when I try to pipe the sound [22:01] and dsp still not in dev directory [22:01] I don't know how they didn't fix these sounddrivers in ubuntu 12.04 64x :( shame on developers :/ [22:01] escott, okey, I did an earlier try to, and then I got a little more [22:01] 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] hololight, you need to add uid= and gid= arguments to the fstab under the options column. [22:02] sirellyn: Log out and back in again, or reboot [22:02] escott, but that seems to about my DVD-drive [22:02] ok let me try i'll be back on in a bit [22:03] 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] can somebody point to a good resource about unattended installs/upgrades and also debconf ?

[22:10] 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] L3top: Nice, I'll keep an eye out for it! Is that a repo driver or the prop driver? [22:11] sirelyn 0 chance I want to read 20 posts that one would explain... just so you know. [22:11] L3top: I did havce to install the prop driver to get everything working right. [22:11] sorry :-/ [22:11] escott, after repluged it in, it shows up in Gparted jusdt like expected [22:11] 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] sirellyn: Yea, permenatly get rid of them. Yes [22:11] zteam, so then where do things stop working? [22:11] It is gonna be prop when it drops. Canonical has a tendancy to not change repo drivers unless there is a problem. [22:12] ok. What is next? [22:12] sirellyn: Can I pm you? [22:12] sure === dbdii407 is now known as Guest40624 [22:12] usr13: I am pretty good in this arena if you get stuck.

[22:14] lnettroue: Calling them "Macs" rather than "OSX Machines" will probably avoid confusion. [22:15] What, specifically, are the machines? Are they intel macs? Are they PPCs? Are they minimacs? Are they macbook pros? etc etc [22:15] 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] 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] OSX spans many many versions. [22:16] lnettroue: if these are PPCs there is a specific version you should use [22:16] 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] Hiya folks. [22:16] zteam, what happens when you try to boot the liveUSB [22:17] escott, sometimes it boot (quite rarerly, most of the time it refuses, and try to boot from another drive instead [22:17] 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] 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] zteam, sometimes isn't very descriptive. any pattern to the sometimes? (what port it is plugged into? hot or cold boot? [22:19] 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] anyone knows something similar to calibre (e-book manager) but for handling documents like office and so... [22:19] If i can not get it figured here I'm just going to trow them all away and get new machines [22:19] escott, I haven't been able to found any pattern at all [22:19] >/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] L3top: okay. So `blahblah &> /dev/null` will take any possible output of the command and just trash it. [22:20] 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] escott, it seems to happen quite randomly, seems to me i'ts just some silly bug in my Bios or something [22:21] Ogredude: this is a question best asked in #bash but yes... I believe that will accomplish what you want [22:21] 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] how to i give a user permission to run certain programs and or services ?? [22:21] 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] 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] 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] anyone know how to disable a scratchpad or make it less sensitive so I can type? [22:23] 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] i am having some xbox live trouble with an ubuntu gateway [22:23] L3top: thanks for the advice [22:24] hey [22:24] 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] I want to put it on a USB stick and install it on a laptop that doesn't have a CD drive. [22:24] I'm using UNetBootin' [22:24] * L3top does not understand EmmaClippinger's question [22:25] 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] L3top you know how on UNetBootin' you can select which version of Ubuntu you want to put on the bootable usb stick? [22:25] Can the driver for the scratchpad be found and removed? [22:25] That's where there are three version, the Live, and then two others [22:25] what is good minimum size for ubuntu partition? [22:26] EmmaClippinger: keep in mind the name of the application. What are you using unetbootin on... and what are you trying to install? [22:26] well it's a great app, on sourceforge [22:26] i'm running it on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion [22:26] but it works on windows and linux as well (the UNetBootin app) [22:26] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [22:27] 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] EmmaClippinger: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [22:27] EmmaClippinger: Are you doing this from a Ubuntu system? OR from a MS Windows OS? [22:28] HdMedia sounds like it was meant for being a TiVO (do not want) [22:28] I see. U=universal net=network boot=boot in=installer [22:28] and NetInstall sounds like most of the data comes from the net (do not want again) [22:28] Hello [22:28] usr13: mac [22:28] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [22:28] errm [22:28] http://epicfreeprizes.com/?ref=178172 [22:28] http://epicfreeprizes.com/?ref=178172 [22:28] so What is the difference between HdMedia and NetInstall on Ubuntu? [22:29] Can I pay ubuntu to help me get my f*ing scratchpad to stop jumping my dang cursor all over? [22:29] EmmaClippinger: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [22:29] solifugus ubuntu is a product [22:29] 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] solifugus why not just ask your question [22:30] MonkeyDust, because nobody seems to have an answer.... [22:30] I've asked it many times over the last few weeks.. and googled.. [22:30] solifugus that happens [22:30] solifugus: If you give some specific information, someone may be able to help you. [22:30] yeah.. for common problems.. never got nvidia to work and still cannot type long letter or program because of the scratchpad [22:30] solifugus maybe because you are the only one who has that issue [22:31] zteam... WHOOSH lol. I'm going to ask somebody who has a clue, thanks. [22:31] MonkeyDust, according to google, I am not.. and I've had this issue on other laptops [22:31] !attitude | EmmaClippinger thats uncalled for [22:31] EmmaClippinger thats uncalled for: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [22:31] L3top thank you for the USEFUL information. [22:31] ubottu, if you're going to volunteer don't have an obnoxious, shitty attitude like zteam [22:31] EmmaClippinger: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:31] thanks. [22:31] you'd think one could at least disable the scratch pad .. or at least install nvidia's drivers from nvidia.. or something [22:32] passive aggressive FAGGOT. lol bye [22:32] 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] L3top: he already ragequit :P [22:32] L3top: I think it was only a failed attempt at humor [22:32] solifugus, one can do all those things if one wants to. === derrick__ is now known as CaptAmericanEngl [22:33] 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] solifugus nvidia and linux/linus thorvalds are not the best of friends [22:34] When shopping for a laptop to serve as a dedicated Ubuntu machine, what should I keep in mind / look for [22:34] Solifugus: When you say Scratchpad, do you mean the touchpad? [22:34] alusion type !hardware [22:34] Did she mean the touchpad? lol [22:34] or he [22:35] 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] 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] 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] alusion: do NOT get a laptop with hybrid graphics, intel/nvidia intel/ATI ATI/ATI. [22:36] !wifi| Payl [22:36] Payl: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:36] Is the graphics the #1 thing to watch out for? What is ideal then, L3top ? [22:36] alusion: 2nd'd. My Intel/ATI-setup is a pain.. [22:36] sup peeps so what do you linuxers do for fun? Free time on ubuntu? [22:36] So what do you people think of Nvidia? [22:36] alusion, pure intel is pretty solid [22:36] both ATI and nVidia have abandoned support in linux for hybrids. [22:37] alusion i'm happy with intel on my old lappy [22:37] what do linux users do on their linux universe of computing, do you guys have games? [22:37] Alucard_ http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [22:37] STeam is being ported to linux soon [22:38] 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] !games | Alucard_ [22:38] Alucard_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [22:38] 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] no but like, big titles like half life or fallout or whatever [22:38] _ericcc Lik an ssh server? [22:38] _ericcc, access being shell or gui? [22:38] 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] I was really hoping to get an ivy bridge laptop [22:40] _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] 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] hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu and my 2nd gfx card will not work, any ideas? [22:41] I see what you mean, L3top. Could you possibly check this out http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/3259b0e8#/3259b0e8/1 [22:41] alusion: for the record the discrete GPU uses the integrated head. NONE are supported by the manufacturer in linux. [22:41] SOME ivy bridge works... SOME do not. I will not guide your wallet with my limited experience alusion. I hope you understand. [22:42] pepopowitz, why are you downloading the drivers from AMD. why not use jockey-gtk [22:42] are those the latest? [22:42] I see, thanks for the information L3top. Hybrid graphics are a no go. [22:42] I feel like sometimes I am playing russian roulette with troubleshooting pain [22:42] escott: wait is that the one in the restricted that says post update? [22:42] Not unless you are a glutton for punishment alusion. [22:43] escott: oh nevermind that is the additional tool. I installed those but I dont think its the latest [22:43] It's always a learning experience is how I will tend to see it ๏_๏ [22:43] 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] 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] 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] escott: I found a guide on Ubuntu wiki hopefully this will work === bemu_ is now known as bemu [22:48] 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] of bugginess with the bumblebee stuff. I would avoid hybrids like the plague. [22:48] does the ubuntu have some kind of a command that checks the whole system for corrupt system files? [22:48] playman try fsck [22:49] playman: No. What do you mean by "corrupt system files"? [22:49] how to fix ubuntu 12.04 64x sound driver [22:49] ? [22:50] 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] 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] playman: Better check the logs whats happening with XBMC. [22:50] quick question what are the Open Source amd drivers called (like nvidia nouveal) [22:51] 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] MonkeyDust: for that command I have to boot from live cd right? [22:51] xlREDlx: "modules". [22:51] |Long|: Why?

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] Hey guys, how do I get my crossfired gfx card to work in Ubuntu? [22:55] L3top what do you mean by out put? all that popped up is the model (6320 so you know) [22:57] p [22:59] evening [23:00] benassi: please give me a pastebin of sudo aplay -l ask if you do not know what a pastebin is [23:01] what is this process ? usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon [23:01] I am asking you xlREDlx if you type lspci -nn | grep VGA in a terminal... what it replies [23:01] L3top, http://pastebin.com/PJvfW24J [23:02] <|Long|> bekks, i though lvm2 is a GUI version NOT a cmd [23:02] VGA copatible controller AMD bla bla nee ATI wrestler Radeon HD 6320, [1002:9806] [23:03] 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] 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] one moment benassi.

[23:06] No. [23:06] 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] it makes it easier to set up - imho [23:07] sudo apt-get install What package for pulseaudio? [23:07] pavucontrol [23:07] i think [23:07] 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] 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] :) [23:08] sudo apt-get install pavucontrol === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:08] 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!

[23:09] escott : so just run a sudo apt-get remove fglrx? [23:09] oops [23:09] ibro: upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04 [23:09] ppine: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:09] run sudo do-release-upgrade [23:09] Thanks, mon, you are a genius and it let me have my mic back! [23:09] cool :) [23:09] xlREDlx, if thats the package name. im not sure what the fglrx package is [23:09] or i found a ay to upgrade with APT-fast [23:10] ppine: Yes, but you can also just skip the deleting of all folders since the Ubuntu installer will basically do that itself. [23:10] I am having problems installing a package if someone could take a peek - http://pastebin.ca/2172335 [23:10] L3top, nor problem .. it is 1:10 A.M, [23:10] anyone know when alien arena 7.60 will hit the repos [23:11] 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] That isnt exactly true escott... this is the proper way to move from fglrx back to radeon once installed.

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] Thanks, mon. [23:22] merp_: what version of ubuntu are you on that you had to install pulse? [23:22] L3top, 12.04.... [23:22] Trying it now . [23:22] "I'm running 12.04" [23:22] merp_: pulse is installed by default. Color me confused. [23:23] Huh. [23:23] L3top, no it's not.. I had to install it [23:23] Thats weird.

[23:33] 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] trying to overwrite '/usr/include/turbojpeg.h', which is also in package libjpeg-turbo 1.1.1-20110517 [23:34] Rghrgrrhghghhh [23:34] does the microphone work? [23:35] 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] !notunity | BrotherGA2 [23:36] BrotherGA2: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [23:37] 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] droller: try sudo apt-et -f install [23:37] droller: try sudo apt-get -f install [23:37] DanielHoffman: How is that going to help? [23:38] Thanks for the suggestions folks zykotick9 ubottu bwat47 [23:38] BrotherGA2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic/108916#108916 [23:38] DanielHoffman, -f install then my packages that won't install? [23:38] It will forcibly overwrite some file that is provided by a ubuntu package. [23:39] well, apt-get -f install corrects dependencies [23:39] DanielHoffman: And it will forcibly overwrite that file with another file from some PPA. [23:39] 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] 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] L3top, are you there? [23:41] no. [23:42] sometimes yes [23:42] zykotick9, How can I tell what package has the conflicting file? [23:42] I keed I keed... what did I ask you for? [23:42] 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] zykotick9, here is the whole error message http://pastebin.ca/2172335 [23:42] benassi: ? [23:42] BrotherGA2, i find unity very useable. With some of the tweaks and addons out for it.. it has some nice features. [23:43] L3top, can you help me fix it? [23:43] 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] glitsj16, not sure is that the problem child? how can I uninstall it without knowing its name? [23:44] I tried to open the package manager but it kept trying to autofix without success over and over [23:45] drroller: that is its name, right there in your error [23:45] benassi: I am like a cat... I am easily distracted by shiny things... [23:45] glitsj16, E: Unable to locate package libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90 [23:45] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libjpeg-turbo8-dev_1.1.90' [23:46] I do not remember your question benassi. [23:46] 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] drroller: the package name is libjpeg-turbo8-dev, version is what's after the _ part [23:46] the packate name will no have the Version # in it i imagine. [23:46] benassi: I am outside in the wilderness... my laptop may die before I finish enjoying it. I will return if I drop. [23:47] benassi: You have pulse installed yes? and pavucontrol? [23:47] glitsj16, Package libjpeg-turbo8-dev is not installed, so not removed [23:47] yes [23:48] L3top, yes both [23:48] 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] benassi: I would drop them both... though I am not sure that is an approved Ubuntu solution, and talk directly to alsa. [23:49] drroller: because of that older package (no clue how you got that) the ubuntu precise one won't install [23:50] 4% [23:50] L3top, so you say.. you want me to deinstall them? [23:50] remove* [23:51] glitsj16, It won't let me uninstall, it just keeps going back to - drroller@FileServer:~$ sudo apt-get remove libjpeg-turbo [23:51] You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: [23:51] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [23:51] libjpeg8-dev : Depends: libjpeg-turbo8-dev (>= 1.1.90+svn722-1ubuntu6) but it is not going to be installed [23:53] 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] benassi: however I am going to drop soon [23:54] drroller: i might have missed it but you are on ubuntu 12.04 correct? [23:54] yes, updated from 10 [23:54] test [23:54] benassi: I would not take reccomendations from someone who would not be around in 5 min to guide me the "right" way [23:55] man.. I am here 9 hours looking for solution [23:55] :"() [23:55] sorry benassi... I am here rather a lot... but... I have to do things shortly. I do not believe I will return. [23:56] glitsj16, Yes, upgraded from 10 [23:56] L3top, ok cya and thx [23:56] benassi: Google your specific issue. There are known bugs. [23:57] 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] 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] see ya [23:59] well I found people with same problem.. but without solution :/ cya
