| nibblyn | benassi, ok, your mic is always on and boosted. if I were you, I would try to install jackd. This is an insane advice, but, it worked for me :) | 00:04 |

| nibblyn | benassi, hum, belive me I know how complicated things can be with sound :) for recording which software do you use? | 00:09 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, are you good with LCD related issues? | 00:09 |
| benassi | nibblyn, sound recorder from ubuntu itself | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | dreamy_: what's the issue? | 00:09 |
| jen | what are those things called that you put on the startup screen on ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| laserlion | zykotick9, thanks. Dr_willis : Do you mean a program like Catalyst on windows? | 00:10 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, do you think that installig a driver for my LCD could correct what migth be wrong on my on screen display menu | 00:10 |
| dreamy_ | ? | 00:10 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, sorry im not shure if my question was clear | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | dreamy_: very doubtful! i've never heard of an LCD driver in gnu/linux. settings yes, drivers, never... | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | laserlion, yep | 00:11 |
| jen | anyone know? | 00:11 |
| === GuestUser231414 is now known as SlickOne | ||
| laserlion | Dr_willis, Ah, dash found it. Thanks! | 00:11 |
| SlickOne | jen: What ? | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | jen, things? | 00:11 |
| jen | Dr_willis, can't you change the login screen picture? I forget what its called like backsplash or something...splashscreen? | 00:12 |
| zykotick9 | dreamy_: you issue could be the lcd not giving the video card it's correct settings automatically (i've heard of that issue). But if you are having resolution issues - it's most likely related to your video driver/setup. | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis | jen, The wallpaper changes to the one the user has selected as a default feature in 12.04 - You can easially find and edit the default wallpaper image if you want to. | 00:13 |
| nibblyn | benassi, yep. hmm, well, I told you, I would try a reset, if you install jack it will somehow force alsa to reinitialize. It is not a technical advice. For me, you have to reconfigure alsa as a first (logical) step. | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | Wallpaper is not a slpash screen.. its a wallpaper. ;) | 00:13 |
| jen | Dr_willis, I do not have 12.04 | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | jen, lack of details is details lacking.. | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | ;) | 00:13 |
| benassi | nibblyn, Enable realtime process priority? yer or no ? | 00:14 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, video driver could be the 3d card driver? | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | dreamy_: yes they're the same thing | 00:14 |
| jen | Dr_willis, Im sure this is 11.04 ocelot, if that is what you are wondering | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | /usr/share/backgrounds or /usr/share/wallpapers I think has the default login screen wallpaper image in it somewhere. | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | Theres some GDM tweak tools that let you change the wallpaper also. | 00:14 |
| melkor | Is it possible to make nautilus sort alphabetical instead of by order added? | 00:15 |
| nibblyn | benassi, are you dpkg reconfiguring? (btw, it is usually not! necessary, but you can try both) | 00:15 |
| Chamunks | Dr_willis, im curious what the aplication color is doing installed by default if its not supported. | 00:15 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, i get image just for 1 second, but its not just when im at linux, its also when im booting or doing whatever | 00:16 |
| dreamy_ | zykotick9, thats why i thinkg i got a prob with the On screeen display setttings | 00:16 |
| jen | Dr_willis, so I put something in that folder and it will be set as my login screen? | 00:16 |
| zykotick9 | dreamy_: what video card? "lspci | grep -i vga" | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | jen, the wallpaper image that the login manager uses is in one of those directories.. | 00:16 |
| dreamy_ | i know it | 00:16 |
| drroller | glitsj16, thank you, that seems to have solved it :) | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | jen, you could edit it.. or edit the login manager configs. | 00:17 |

| B3rz3rk3r | Guest97095 if you have used Ubuntu succesfully you will do just fine with Puppy. You may be able to get Ubuntu running on that laptop, but the performance would not be satisfactory for everyday use if you are planning on having a GUI | 00:42 |
| sakuramboo | is there a way to have libSDL_sound1.2:i386 not conflict with libSDL_sound1.2 when trying to install? | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | neldogz, see if you have a /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 | 00:42 |
| Guest97095 | ok,thank you guys..:) | 00:42 |
| neldogz | Dr_willis: yes those two do exist | 00:43 |
| Guest97095 | it's mainly for the kids to play with,but it's not very slick at all with no prop software and win 98 | 00:43 |
| Dr_willis | neldogz, many apps look for /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd which is a link to one of those. If ou want to use the other optical You may need to tell the app to use sr1 or sr0 | 00:44 |
| Guest97095 | does puppy have a gui? | 00:44 |
| glitsj16 | noonelieksme: have you looked around on askubuntu yet? i'm no audio expert by far, but http://askubuntu.com/questions/74008/toshiba-satellite-l745d-internal-mic-not-working mentions something about toshiba satellite 'fast boot' bios option interfering with the mic | 00:44 |

| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Oh yea... | 00:50 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Well, lynx localhost:631 | 00:50 |
| SecretFire | does that mean that I have to change directories? | 00:51 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: I suppose you could go into cups.conf and tell it to accept outside requests and use FF from another PC on the network. | 00:51 |

| DanielHoffman | usr13:but the lynx sounds simplier | 00:52 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Yea, it'll prolly work ok | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | i recall its just one line in the cups config. or you can use the cups web intercace via lynx and localhost. to allow a range of ips access.. like 192.168.1.* | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | SecretFire this is probably a good idea... makes uninstall a lot easier (or possible at all) | 00:52 |
| ubottu | SecretFire this is probably a good idea... makes uninstall a lot easier (or possible at all): checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's runn | 00:52 |

| nibblyn | benassi, but if you unplug the mic? can you play a sound? I suppose you can, your playback works just fine, you cannot record properly. Deactivate mic boost in alsamixer, lower the mic levels. | 01:11 |

| usr13 | AverageJB: sftp is not ssh so..... | 01:40 |

| LuiX | usr13, "sox is already the newest version" | 01:54 |
| usr13 | LuiX: Good.... | 01:54 |
| LuiX | so glitsj16 you're voting on reinstalling the equalizer? | 01:55 |
| usr13 | LuiX: Good way to test is to use play. e.g. play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* | 01:55 |
| usr13 | ... and watch for errors. | 01:55 |
| glitsj16 | LuiX: i hardly vote on anything, only confirming that for me the pulseaudio-equalizer works just fine | 01:56 |
| LuiX | usr13, play "played" the files without errors, but no sound is heard | 01:56 |
| usr13 | LuiX: YOu might also consider upgrading alsa drivers See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules | 01:57 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, i'll do that :) | 01:57 |
| din | i have this strange problem with my audio. sound works fine when headphones are not plugged in. however, when i use headphones it seems like there is a "hole" in the sound. If i move the balance to left or right it sounds somewhat normal, but is still distorted. | 01:57 |
| usr13 | LuiX: If you do not get errors, it is probably working ok, and there is nothing that needs fixing. Check for other problem. | 01:57 |
| din | i have tried several different sets of headphones and they all work on another machine. | 01:57 |
| usr13 | LuiX: run alsamixer | 01:58 |

| usr13 | din: Not me, but ... may be an issue with pulseaudio ... | 01:59 |
| din | usr13, i have uninstalled an reinstalled it. any suggestions? | 01:59 |
| usr13 | din: Uninstalling and reinstalling an application rarely fixes anything. | 02:00 |
| LuiX | it's really weird usr13, ran alsamixer, all on 100% | 02:00 |
| din | usr13, well i purged it so all the configs were gone. | 02:00 |
| din | then i removed ~/.pulse | 02:00 |
| din | and reinstalled | 02:00 |
| LuiX | also funny usr13, is that i even hear the little clicks that makes when i shift the volume | 02:00 |
| glitsj16 | LuiX: for now you seem to have a misconfigured pulseaudio-equalizer, perhaps try to purge it and see if that gets pulseaudio going again if you decide to keep that .. for the record, just a user trying to enjoy audio on ubuntu, not flame-wars about pulseaudio vs alsa etc | 02:00 |

| Katelyn | how does one uninstall something via terminal? | 02:01 |
| din | usr13, i do believe so. let me verify. | 02:01 |

| din | usr13, affirmative on the being fully updated. | 02:02 |
| usr13 | DrPantsW: package-name & | 02:02 |

| usr13 | din: You might also consider updating alsa modules | 02:02 |
| din | usr13, doing that now. | 02:03 |
| LuiX | i know glitsj16, the answer i was expecting was "sometimes its a side effect of a recent update" or sthg | 02:03 |
| usr13 | din: I would just unstall pulseaudio That would prolly fix it. | 02:04 |
| din | usr13, i will try again, but it did not seem to help before. | 02:04 |
| glitsj16 | LuiX: it might have been, but that goes for just about anything | 02:04 |

| Chamunks | glitsj16, http://imagebin.org/221331 | 02:22 |
| SecretFire | I am trying to locate the directory of a package I just installed via gdebi. Where should I look? | 02:24 |
| blackshirt | secretfire, i don't know with gdebi, but you can use dpkg -L | 02:24 |
| SecretFire | blackshirt : need sudo? | 02:24 |
| cfhowlett | !cookie|blackshirt | 02:25 |
| ubottu | blackshirt: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 02:25 |
| SecretFire | blackshirt : the output doesn't really show the directory location, i need to be able to cd into it to move files | 02:26 |
| blackshirt | secretfire, no..just dpkg -L packagename | 02:26 |
| SecretFire | gotcha | 02:27 |
| blackshirt | secretfire, that for list installed file from package | 02:27 |
| Chamunks | anyone know a good color target to get that would be free? | 02:27 |
| SecretFire | blackshirt : I got it figured out now, thanks | 02:28 |
| Arsin | P4 2.8GHz, should Xubuntu 12.04 be fine on it? 256mb DDR | 02:28 |
| blackshirt | secretfire, greats | 02:28 |
| blackshirt | Arsin, i think that was fine..but maybe be better increase your ram | 02:29 |
| Nogal | hmm... | 02:29 |
| L3top | Arsin: yes. | 02:29 |
| === AndyKing is now known as xyz | ||
| Arsin | For some reason it's at 100% load all the time | 02:30 |
| L3top | Arsin: Agreed with the find more ram thing. | 02:30 |
| Arsin | Oh wait now it's normal | 02:30 |
| L3top | Arsin: what is at 100%? | 02:30 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: i'm not getting anything usefull with gcm personally, and there are quite some bug reports about it .. you might try http://dispcalgui.hoech.net/ (which is another tool built on the same argyll foundation) | 02:30 |
| Arsin | CPU was at 100 | 02:30 |
| Nogal | it doesn't work | 02:30 |
| L3top | Arsin: loading it probably will be. | 02:30 |
| blackshirt | arsin, use more low resource like lubuntu | 02:31 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, i guess technically i could just not care too much it just would be nice to use this tool. | 02:31 |
| L3top | Nogal: what doesn't work? | 02:31 |
| Nogal | the script | 02:31 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: i agree, just don't have a grip on the ins and outs of gnome-color-manager i'm afraid | 02:32 |
| Arsin | blackshirt: Is that the lightest of the Ubuntu line? | 02:32 |
| Nogal | oh wow I got thrown into the wrong channel here, sorry! | 02:32 |
| blackshirt | arsin, no... you can build your desktop from core system | 02:32 |
| zykotick9 | Arsin: no. mini + virtually any windows manager (*box, awesome, etc) are lighter still | 02:33 |
| L3top | Nogal: there are lots of scripts. I do not see any activity from you for the last 40 min I have been active. | 02:33 |
| Arsin | Right. | 02:33 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, yeh it just would be nice to have it be closer to 1.0 I would love to have the color stability of a mac on my linux os. | 02:33 |
| Arsin | I was just told "My computer is slow and all I do is browse. Make it faster!" | 02:33 |
| === root is now known as Guest64978 | ||
| Arsin | So I figured xubuntu would do the trick | 02:34 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, thats the one thing mac really has is all of their hardware is precisely what they need. So its easy to color calibrate. That said I would never own a mac. Tried it once will never go back. | 02:34 |
| L3top | lubuntu would be better suited... but so would 10bucks in archaic ram Arsin. | 02:34 |
| zykotick9 | Arsin: xubuntu (aka xfce4) is similar in resource usage to the old gnome2 (slightly less, but only slightly) | 02:34 |
| LuiX | glitsj16, usr13 solved one part of it, reinstalled alsa and pulseaudio and added alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=auto | 02:35 |
| zykotick9 | Arsin: lubuntu is a lot lighter then xubuntu, but you have to make some visual sacrifices | 02:35 |
| LuiX | now the other part is the indicator | 02:35 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: same here .. but i'm very old-skool black/white photography hobbyist so i can live without it | 02:35 |
| Arsin | THis PC is built by dell, and there are no thumb screws, instead they put rivets | 02:35 |
| Arsin | and I don't care enough to open it for them and put the ram I have for it | 02:36 |
| Arsin | but I will take a look at lubuntu | 02:36 |
| Arsin | Thanks | 02:36 |
| glitsj16 | LuiX: thanks for the info, appreciated | 02:36 |
| Chamunks | glitsj16, yeh that's always nice. | 02:36 |
| L3top | Arsin: uhh... then there are pull tabs or something. I defy you to give me a model that cannot be opened with normal/no tools. | 02:36 |
| LuiX | the other part is that the volume indicator plus hardware controls are gone glitsj16 | 02:37 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: +1 | 02:37 |
| glitsj16 | Chamunks: before we enter the off-topic territory lol, i'm not only old-skool, jus plain .. old :p | 02:37 |
| Chamunks | :P | 02:37 |

| glitsj16 | LuiX: could you pastebin your ~/.pulse/default.pa please? | 02:50 |
| AzzIzzA | Hi all, just a quick question, does ubuntu recommend upgrading kernel headers to match the running kernel? I've heard other distros say your headers should match what your libc was compiled against rather than your running kernel. | 02:51 |
| LuiX | usr13, glitsj16 solved. deleted .pulse folder and rebooted. | 02:52 |
| LuiX | aand i was just trying to watch inception (again) sometimes it's hard to keep the faith in ubuntu :( | 02:53 |
| glitsj16 | LuiX: nice (your succes with pulseaudio and inception both) .. when things go wrong that's quite reasonable yes | 02:54 |

| === bryan is now known as Guest76419 | ||
| Jordan_U | SecretFire: It sounds like you've changed the owner of every file in your system. If so, you really should just re-install Ubuntu. | 03:11 |
| Wug | SecretFire: you could boot to single user mode and fix it | 03:12 |
| Wug | chown -R root /etc | 03:12 |
| Wug | would probably fix it | 03:13 |
| SecretFire | Wug : Ill try that | 03:13 |
| Wug | other than that, don't do stupid things like try to own the root directory | 03:13 |
| Wug | its not called the SecretFire directory | 03:13 |
| SecretFire | no | 03:13 |
| Wug | how exactly would one go about changing the name of the root account | 03:15 |
| usr13 | Chamunks: What? | 03:15 |
| Wug | the caveat being of course that it won't let you do that while it's in use | 03:16 |
| Wug | and its hard to rename accounts when youre not root | 03:16 |
| Jordan_U | Wug: SecretFire: No, that's not enough. Re-install. | 03:16 |
| usr13 | Chamunks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 03:17 |

| L3top | usr13: nothing is overheating atm. He installed fan control, and noticed his main fan on laptop was non functional. | 03:56 |
| TheWhiteHatter | normally runs 75ish | 03:56 |
| usr13 | O | 03:56 |
| * L3top has been trying to get what appears to be a dead fan alive through power management... lol | 03:57 | |
| usr13 | L3top: Your logic is correct... | 03:57 |
| usr13 | Why not just uninstall fan control? | 03:57 |
| TheWhiteHatter | meh, at least I know the problem now | 03:57 |
| TheWhiteHatter | tried that | 03:58 |
| usr13 | Oh? | 03:58 |
| TheWhiteHatter | L3top spent about an hour with me walking through multiple solutions | 03:58 |
| usr13 | Oh, sorry.... | 03:58 |

| TheWhiteHatter | It's fine | 03:58 |

| === andreas is now known as witchmaster | ||
| usr13 | xio3: You have to use the -d switch to include the function of creating a home dir. | 04:08 |
| usr13 | xio3: But you can still do it. | 04:08 |
| xio3 | usr13: thanks- i'll try it with a -d so- like useradd -d username -p password | 04:08 |
| usr13 | xio3: next time use adduser And it will be done by default. | 04:08 |
| usr13 | yes | 04:08 |

| TheWhiteHatter | so what's a thermal zone? | 04:10 |
| L3top | I gave you a solution hetep. That solution requires you to be root. | 04:10 |
| Hetep | no it doesn't | 04:11 |
| Hetep | that's not the solution | 04:11 |

| Hetep | sudo apt-get update | 04:11 |

| usr13 | Hetep: sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get update | 04:13 |
| L3top | 1. the solution I gave you requires that you run as root in order to perform the update to produce the key to be hashed from MIT. 2. Your explaining to me what you need, when I wrote the thing is sort of silly. 3 Your attitude is not particularly fetching. 4 your question is unsupported, and 5. The reason whatever it is will not authenticate is almost guaranteed because it has be disavowed by Canonical. | 04:14 |

| === dilip is now known as dbass | ||
| xi3 | usr13: ohh and the useradd -d /home/username username -p password didn't create the home directory | 04:20 |
| TheWhiteHatter | A dependency cycle is when a series of objects need to be ecaluated | 04:20 |
| TheWhiteHatter | but there is no possible order to evaluate them in | 04:20 |
| usr13 | xi3: You don't have to specify the /home/dir It does it for you. | 04:20 |
| usr13 | xi3: Why not just use adduser | 04:20 |
| usr13 | ? | 04:21 |
| TheWhiteHatter | for example, if you have A,B,and C. | 04:21 |
| TheWhiteHatter | to evaluate A you need B | 04:21 |

| da0h | ubuntu 12 has lousy legacy support | 05:23 |
| jackie1632 | I am having trouble getting my flash player to work won't load plug in or crashes.. it does this on both firefox and google chrome.. | 05:23 |
| Loshki | dpnux: you need 5 lines of config to do gmail: mailhub, AuthUser, AuthPass, UseSTARTTLS and AuthMethod | 05:24 |
| dpnux | Loshki: yes, I fill all that and also adding current user to revaliases. | 05:26 |
| === freelikegnu is now known as _awaylikegnu | ||
| dpnux | Loshki: I try explicitly telling AuthMethod=LOGIN. but no success :( | 05:27 |
| === shadowh511-lapto is now known as sh511-lptp | ||
| Loshki | dpnux: Can you run sendmail -v <your_address> and capture the debug output? I also use AuthMethod=LOGIN. | 05:28 |
| dpnux | Loshki: I did and here my last error message "sSMTP[6846]: Server didn't like our AUTH LOGIN (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. ms1sm977391pbb.63)" | 05:29 |
| UltraNoob | Is there a boot option to specifically disable the ubuntu loading logo ie. full text? | 05:30 |
| Loshki | dpnux: I assume you have UseSTARTTLS=YES and mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 | 05:30 |
| IdleOne | !text | UltraNoob | 05:32 |
| ubottu | UltraNoob: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:32 |
| dpnux | Loshki: True, I use that configuration. Sorry, I was try to send by mail command. I try your suggested command and it hang up. | 05:32 |
| Loshki | dpnux: 'hang up'? no debug message? | 05:34 |
| dpnux | Loshki: Sorry, it's not hang. I put dot and enter and it show same error message | 05:35 |
| E1nzte1N | quit | 05:35 |
| Loshki | dpnux: oh right, it hangs. Sorry, I'm slow tonight. The mail command is fine. I still think the problem is your config. Can you pastebin your config (please remove the passwords first) | 05:35 |
| paulus68 | squid problem I can restrict users access to certain sites however when I want a given user only to grant access to lets say google I am stuck and cant get it to work any thought? | 05:36 |
| dpnux | Loshki: ok, I put my config on pastebin. | 05:37 |

| Loshki | dpnux: first diff I notice is I have no spaces round the '=' sign in my config. 2nd is I have the equivalent of AuthUser=dpnux i.e. no trailing gmail.com, 3rd. I have no useTLS line at all.... | 05:46 |
| Jester86 | wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to make my ubuntu install connect to the network prior to me needing to log onto the machine | 05:46 |
| Jester86 | looking at making my laptop operate headlessly and it connects via wifi | 05:46 |

| Jester86 | rahul, figo7731 do either of you know how to go about changing when networking runs on ubuntu 12.04? | 05:47 |
| Jester86 | I want to make my laptop connect to the wirless network at boot rather that at login | 05:48 |
| dpnux | Loshki: Wow, great. it works :). Thank you | 05:48 |
| Loshki | dpnux: I'm glad. Eventually I gave up on ssmtp and went back to postfix :-) | 05:49 |
| dpnux | Loshki: I need for my php development, postfix is gigantic. | 05:49 |
| Loshki | dpnux: I know, but ssmtp has no queuing, so if my network link ever goes down, it loses email... | 05:51 |
| Jester86 | does anyone know how the hell upstart works? | 05:51 |
| dpnux | Loshki: yes, it's. Surely, I am not using ssmtp on my production VPS :) | 05:52 |

| Jester86 | pranjal710, I believe that all comes down to the specific hardware ..but anymore I don't think its a rare happening | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | mike8: you cant transparant gadgets anymore now | 06:41 |
| lawizeg | So, does anyone know if that's a 12.04 issue or something? Am I not doing something right? | 06:41 |
| Jester86 | pranjal710, just edit network connection then add a new one.. set to ad-hoc | 06:42 |
| lawizeg | Or if I'm being an idiot, please point me to where I'm supposed to ask questions | 06:42 |
| pranjal710 | Jester86: I tried a lot on ubuntu 12.04, but couldnt set up. What I want is something like "connectify" which works for windows | 06:42 |
| W|cKeD | hi does ubuntu have a free shell account? just asking :) thanx | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | jester86: http://nixliving.blogspot.be/2010/02/start-your-wireless-connection-on-boot.html | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86: seems like its possible after all | 06:43 |
| Jester86 | pranjal710, I'm sure its possible... but you need make sure you had the configurations right.. h/o let me google | 06:43 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, I've been telling you it was.... lol | 06:43 |

| AGracefulCluts | so I'm trying to install Nethack and it has given me all these choices like nethack-lisp, nethack-console, nethack-x11, and nethack-qt can someone tell me which i install or if i have to do something special? | 06:45 |
| pranjal710 | Jester86: Sorry, but I'll have to leave now. Thanks for the info though :) | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nethack | 06:45 |
| ubottu | Package nethack does not exist in precise | 06:46 |
| Jester86 | pranjal710, alright.. just google it i'm sure you can get it.. ubuntu adhoc network | 06:46 |
| pranjal710 | Jester86: Sure | 06:46 |
| AGracefulCluts | !info nethack | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | !adhoc | 06:46 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, seems so simple now looking at it ;) | 06:46 |
| mike8 | ok thanks lotuspsychje :( i was hoping for a workaround | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86:yes lol readed also, but tell me where do you open a terminal for ssh then? | 06:47 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, what do you mean where do I open terminal for SSH? | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86:yes before login that is... | 06:47 |
| Jester86 | I ssh into it.. the headless laptop operates as an ssh host ... running the daemon all the time | 06:47 |
| AGracefulCluts | ubottu what do I have to do? if you can give me the process i should google i can take it from there | 06:48 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:48 |
| Jester86 | ubottu, how are you | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Jester86: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:48 |
| Jester86 | ubottu, ? | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86: ah you ssh with a remote machine, in the machine you did not login and connected wifi | 06:48 |
| Jester86 | ubottu, hello | 06:48 |
| Jester86 | yes lotuspsychje .. which is why that machine must connect to the wireless prior to the user logging in | 06:49 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, are you not familiar with ssh? it is extremely handy | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | AGracefulCluts: nethack not in official repos anymore mate, you can try installing them all | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86:yes lol i know ssh, your prob all makes sense now...maybe next time you could describe what you really want | 06:50 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, i described exactly what i wanted.... are you sure you read it? | 06:51 |
| Asar | anybody know anything about ufw? | 06:51 |
| Asar | or gufw | 06:51 |
| iceroot | Asar: man ufw | 06:51 |
| bazhang | !info nethack-common | lotuspsychje | 06:51 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje: nethack-common (source: nethack): dungeon crawl game - common files. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.3-12.2 (precise), package size 442 kB, installed size 1321 kB | 06:51 |

| iceroot | !ufw | Asar | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86: i mean like.;i want to ssh with remote machine into... | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Asar: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 06:52 |
| fahd | vc | 06:52 |
| Jester86 | lotuspsychje, I already had that working.. just not the wireless part ;) | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Jester86:ok well problem solved anyway :p | 06:53 |
| Asar | umm, ok, am trying to write a rule script for ufw to open tcp & udp ports for 9000 | 06:53 |
| Asar | want to call it "SimWorld" | 06:53 |
| iceroot | Asar: that ports are not blocked by default | 06:53 |
| iceroot | Asar: no port is blocked by default | 06:53 |
| Asar | want to open them | 06:53 |
| Asar | purposefully | 06:54 |
| Asar | make certain they are forwarded | 06:54 |
| AGracefulCluts | Bazhang is that the one I should install? | 06:54 |
| bazhang | AGracefulCluts, depends on whether you want the console one, or a gui one like nethack-qt | 06:55 |
| AGracefulCluts | sorry I'm still learning as I go, are they both text based? | 06:55 |
| bazhang | one is cli (in the terminal) the other is gui AGracefulCluts | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | bazhang: howto search packages on ubottu on word | 06:56 |
| AGracefulCluts | graphical user interface, right? okay and I assume qt is cli? | 06:57 |
| iceroot | lotuspsychje: /msg ubottu info packagename | 06:57 |
| iceroot | lotuspsychje: or search instead of info | 06:57 |
| === Guest95012 is now known as bryan110 | ||
| bazhang | AGracefulCluts, -qt one is the gui one | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | iceroot: i mean can you search also if its not the correct packagename? | 06:58 |
| Asar | umm, having problems... Google is not openable within Chromium | 06:58 |

| jimmy_lo_chien_f | How to protect these files or directories from rm | 08:05 |
| nibblyn | aetoxx, sudo -u root play my.mp3 works well. If you need X11 then it is another story ;) | 08:06 |
| L3top | !warning | jimmy_lo_chien_f: please dont type that here | 08:07 |
| ubottu | jimmy_lo_chien_f: please dont type that 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! | 08:07 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, you are sudoing to root... | 08:07 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, try it as some less privileged user. | 08:07 |
| trijntje | jimmy_lo_chien_f: if you only want te remove files that start with normal letters you can use rm [A-Za-z]*, but please be carefull | 08:08 |
| aetoxx | L3top, uhm, please. | 08:08 |
| L3top | What are you trying to do exactly, without typing that command again? We are all familiar with it... | 08:08 |
| trijntje | you could also just use nautilus and dont show hidden files | 08:08 |
| L3top | please what aetoxx? | 08:08 |
| aetoxx | L3top, his question is perfectly understandable. | 08:08 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | Oh | 08:08 |
| === Adrien_ is now known as Guest53016 | ||
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | !rm | 08:08 |
| ubottu | The Unix 'rm' command removes files and directories from the filesystem. It is an extremly powerful tool, and you should not run 'rm' commands unless you fully understand them. Do not run arbitrary 'rm' commands you see online. For a beginning guide on using terminal commands, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal and for a cautionary story about 'rm' see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_g0tyaIeE | 08:08 |
| aetoxx | L3top, please don't be so incredibly stupid. | 08:09 |
| L3top | so is the factoid aetoxx. | 08:09 |
| aetoxx | jimmy_lo_chien_f, man find | 08:09 |
| aetoxx | jimmy_lo_chien_f, you want to use find, some regular expression and perhaps xargs. | 08:09 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | wow | 08:09 |
| zulius | jimmy_lo_chien_f, try rm [^.], but be careful | 08:10 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | aetoxx, I try man find first | 08:10 |
| nibblyn | aetoxx, don't have any other user here, sorry. but i see no reason why this should not work. | 08:10 |
| L3top | aetoxx: his question is about how to "protect" files from being removed. I am not sure of many scenarios where this is a fear... so I asked for clarification. | 08:11 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | wow, rm seems very really dangerous | 08:11 |
| L3top | Yes. jimmy_lo_chien_f. It is indeed. That is why it is asked you don't use that particular command here because newbs sometimes try things, having no idea what they are doing. | 08:11 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, yeah, too bad that you not seeing any reason is something the computer doesn't care about. | 08:12 |

| drennen | Can a chan op msg me? | 08:13 |
| nibblyn | aetoxx, what about file permissions? if you sudo -u anotheruser, can that user access the file? :) | 08:15 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, I see that the file is being played. There is just no audible sound. | 08:15 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, and if I login as that user in a completely new session, it does work for that user. | 08:16 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, it is as if there is some logic that only one user can use audio at any time, | 08:16 |
| samuele | hello! | 08:16 |
| nibblyn | aetoxx, not audio itself, merely the file permissions. check the audio file with ls -la, give it a try | 08:18 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, you are not listening to what I say. | 08:18 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, I said that I can see that the file is being played. | 08:19 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, how the hell do you come with the suggestion that the permissions are wrong? | 08:19 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, If you have nothing intelligent to say, just don't say anything at all. | 08:19 |
| L3top | aetoxx: why are you using gksudo out of curiosity? and what is the case if you type su -u otheruser mplayer /path/to/mp3.file? Also does su -u alsamixer reveal anything? | 08:19 |
| aetoxx | L3top, alsamixer isn't a user | 08:20 |
| L3top | correct. insert your user. | 08:20 |
| nibblyn | aetoxx, because you can open an X11 app that could not read a datastream. | 08:20 |
| aetoxx | L3top, I am using gksudo, because I want to run an X program with sound as another user. | 08:20 |

| === zulius is now known as zeng | ||
| L3top | !gksudo | 08:23 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:23 |
| L3top | Why not? | 08:23 |
| aetoxx | L3top, if you want to help, test it first on your own system before suggesting anything. | 08:25 |
| L3top | If you don't know the answer just say so. | 08:25 |

| nibblyn | aetoxx, forget about x11 for a second, try "sudo -u differentuser play /tmp/mysong.mp3". If it does not work please try "ls -la /tmp/mysong.mp3". If you think this is not helping then I apologize, can't help you. | 08:34 |

| nibblyn | aetoxx, actually I just tested, it works for me :) | 08:36 |
| aetoxx | nibblyn, it doesn't work in all environments, which means you have not been complete. | 08:37 |

| aetoxx | auronandace, it's completely clear what he wants to do. | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | lodder: you could TRY installing without formatting your arch /home. However, configs and apps will differ. I suggest you bite the bullet, backup your data, and clean install. | 08:41 |

| aetoxx | lodder, Of course it is 'possible'. | 08:42 |
| aetoxx | lodder, it might not be easy, however. | 08:42 |
| auronandace | lodder: i concur with cfhowlett | 08:43 |
| lodder | hmmm not easy sounds interesting | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | lodder: never done remote install, so I can't advise | 08:43 |
| geirha | lodder: If it sounds interesting, go for it. Just make sure your backups are recent in case it goes haywire | 08:44 |

| bekks | storyteller: Most likely, no. You have to configure an ssh server to be running, you have to configure a portforwarding in your router, and you cannot test it from "behind" your public ip - you have to ask someone else to test that, because your router will most likely not allow accessing the public IP from within your network, | 09:53 |

| Papa | hi | 10:56 |
| bekks | cmyers: It will take ages. A normal installation takes about 25 minutes, you will have to run 4 updates at least, with several hours each. | 10:56 |
| cmyers | I can imagine certain migrations (like glibc or whatever) where intermediary package update scripts did magicks that get skipped that could break things, but I would hope that is rare and well-handled by the newer packages too | 10:56 |

| Papa | lol i just cannot stop laughing what kind of problem is this? :D | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Papa: what is the problem you want resolving ? | 10:59 |
| cmyers | Papa: apt-get install smartmontools, then read `man smartctl` | 10:59 |
| cmyers | it can ask the drive to do a self-test and give you details about hardware problems | 10:59 |
| Papa | ok listen i was using arch linux it gave me problems said dev sda 2 has errors so many errors lol i inserted ubuntu 12.04 live cd tried to install it it said dev sda 2 has problem | 11:00 |
| Papa | i installed win 7 pirated copy it installed lol ? | 11:00 |
| cmyers | "problem" is pretty generic and unhelpful. | 11:00 |
| subb1 | we can set a custom variable in .bashrc for a particular user. How to set similary for all users on the system? | 11:01 |

| Papa | but i wanna install ubuntu | 11:01 |
| Papa | i am so familiar with linux i cannot use windows :D | 11:02 |
| cmyers | Papa: many hardware failures are intermittent, impact only certain areas of the disk, or behave differently on different OSes | 11:02 |
| cmyers | but if there is a real problem, it is usually endemic and will continue to degrade until it doesn't work at all | 11:02 |
| cmyers | you need to determine the actual problem. | 11:02 |
| Papa | should i try reinstalling ubuntu i deleted that stupid partition using gparted | 11:02 |
| ikonia | Papa: what are the errors it's giving you | 11:02 |
| ikonia | Papa: and where (what point in your process) are you getting these errors | 11:02 |
| dense | Hi. Is there anything easy/quick way to read program stdoutput when the program is start on startup? My problem is that the program start, but it stop almost immediately after start. | 11:03 |
| Papa | i think installer said ubuntu encountered a problem man i cannot remember what was it but dev sda2 related | 11:03 |
| Papa | arch linux gave me so many errors | 11:03 |
| Papa | i won't go back to arch again man i lost so many imp data | 11:04 |
| cmyers | Papa: I suggest using a live CD to boot into linux, then trying to run smartctl to get the disk's self-test output. | 11:04 |
| bekks | Papa: Windows doesnt save you from a defective harddisk - windows just ignores the I/O errors and bluescreens afterwards. | 11:04 |
| Papa | ummm | 11:04 |

| qbitza | It keeps prompting for my credentials | 11:05 |
| bekks | Papa: So check your harddisk with smartmontools (smartctl in detail) to see wether your harddisk is about to die. | 11:05 |
| Papa | is it available in windows | 11:05 |
| cmyers | if the hard drive is not too old, it may be under warranty | 11:05 |

| Papa | i wanna be in chat while doing this so i am unwilling to do live cd boot ubuntu does not have xchat pre installed i think | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Papa: you can install it and it does have xchat installed | 11:11 |
| bekks | Papa: That doesnt change the fact that a) passmark is useless in your case and b) you have to run smartctl and c) you have to do everything needed, including booting a live cd, to do b). :) | 11:11 |

| aetoxx | Why does PulseAudio exist? | 11:26 |
| Papa | bcoz oss is bad :D | 11:26 |
| beginner42 | Yes but does that mean that there is so much choice that I will be lost as to what to choose and from where to start? | 11:26 |
| aetoxx | In the end it is always ALSA which provides the real audio. | 11:26 |
| BluesKaj | !pulseaudio | aetoxx | 11:27 |
| ubottu | aetoxx: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 11:27 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, but PulseAudio makes a working system not work. | 11:27 |
| LjL | aetoxx: that's probably a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic - but, for instance, PulseAudio allows you to mix several sources of audio seamlessly, each program is its own stream with separate volume etc | 11:27 |
| dooglus | beginner42: learn Python - its a good first language to learn | 11:27 |
| aetoxx | LjL, in theory, yes. | 11:27 |
| aetoxx | LjL, in practice, it doesn't actually work in all cases where alsa by itself does work. | 11:28 |
| LjL | aetoxx: *shrug* still, there's clearly a reason why it exists and ALSA by itself is not enough. maybe it's not perfect. | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, in my case pulseaudio gives me an audio link with flash audio on websites , which unfortunately alsa doesn't do wih my soundcard ... I used to have full access audio using my onboard card without pulse but the onboard sound quality isn't very good | 11:29 |
| Papa | raw read error ok spin up time ok all looks ok in smart info :P | 11:30 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, kdesudo doesn't work with PulseAudio. | 11:30 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, do you know why? | 11:30 |
| BluesKaj | no gui | 11:30 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, it is because it only works when the user has read access to the homedir of the original user. | 11:30 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, which is completely retarded. | 11:31 |
| LjL | aetoxx: ifr you mean that programs run as root (using kdesudo or otherwise) have no audio output, i think that's normal, because pulseaudio runs as your own user. but i'm not sure how to get around that | 11:31 |
| BluesKaj | use pavucontrol | 11:31 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, there is just no excuse for such retarded designs. | 11:31 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, the whole point of kdesudo is to run something as a different user with less credentials. | 11:31 |
| Papa | punk oi oi oi | 11:31 |
| LjL | aetoxx: please take the ranting to #ubuntu-offtopic and avoid called things "retarded" entirely. this is a support channel, not a place to just say that things don't work the way you like. | 11:31 |
| LjL | Papa: please spare us the randomness. | 11:32 |
| aetoxx | BluesKaj, if then it still requires access to my home dir, I do seriously wonder what they were smoking when they designed this. | 11:32 |
| Papa | i did not get u broda | 11:32 |
| Papa | LJL | 11:32 |
| BluesKaj | aetoxx, well , I', forced to live with pulse , I don't like it any more than you do , but I have no other choice | 11:32 |

| Somelauw | Is there a difference between ejecting and unmounting a harddrive? | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | Somelauw, you eject a cdrom , you unmount a hdd | 12:36 |
| dcullen | Somelauw: After unmounting, the drive still appears to be connected. After ejecting, the drive no longer appears to be connected. | 12:36 |
| Somelauw | Because thunar / nautilus (whatever I was using) only shows the option to eject a harddrive. | 12:37 |

| Somelauw | wildwind: It says: "Unable to restore inode 14288160 (lost+found/icon.png.i): No data found." << I guess it can't be recovered. | 13:27 |
| auronandace | Crocell: why not just use a vm? | 13:27 |
| Jimbo-OLH | L3top - not yet - i just shut 2 vm's down that were very memory intensive and cpu intensive and rebooted them to see if they are causing the chaos ... | 13:27 |
| wildwind | Somelauw: try to restore particular files/dirs instead of --restore-all | 13:29 |
| Jimbo-OLH | L3top - seems to be a bug with KVM - virt-manager and virsh both freeze up for a period of time then recover … during that time some vms' become unresponsive … this server has been running for a few weeks now no problems until about 1am this morning when it started doing this … | 13:29 |
| L3top | Jimbo-OLH: One of our users has a similar issue... (BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:348]) but it locks on boot. So I am curious what you end up with. | 13:29 |

| Somelauw | wildwind: Forgot the names of what it removed. A script went wrong and tried to delete a lot of stuff. | 13:30 |

| Jimbo-OLH | yup - it's a supermicro … | 13:36 |
| killer | how do i disable alt-left click so that it does not move the windows | 13:36 |
| Crocell | MonkeyDust: that's precisely what i want to avoid. the system is to be bootable natively, not just with qemu. | 13:36 |
| Crocell | MonkeyDust: if i do something with qemu stuff, then i'd need to use nbd devices when i want to access the volume outside qemu (and for native boot i'm not even sure it would work) | 13:37 |
| Crocell | which is why my question wasn't centered on qemu but on how to use apt-get to install precise on a mounted partition | 13:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Crocell there's this thing Lubi, it'w Wubi for linux hosts, I havent tried it, just know it exists http://lubi.sourceforge.net/index.html | 13:38 |

| auronandace | Crocell: using apt-get (from a different distribution, debian i assume) to install ubuntu | 13:40 |
| Somelauw | Huh, I know the directory in which the files were removed. | 13:40 |
| Crocell | MonkeyDust: thx for the link, looking at it. judging from the couple lines i now read, it shoud do it. i was hoping there'd be a solution with just a couple extra apt-get parameters though | 13:41 |
| zykotick9 | Crocell: fyi kvm/qemu is capable of booting physical partitions... (just NOT the one that kvm/qemu is running from!!!) | 13:42 |

| Crocell | auronandace: really? (and no, it isn't even debian but mageia, which itself isn't even deb-based but does provide an apt-get package). why wouldn't the apt-get from another distro work to install ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| auronandace | Crocell: maybe i'm wrong but i sincerely doubt it's supported | 13:44 |
| HSarena | Hi! i've install ubuntu 12.04 on my notebook but my touchpad doesn't work, how to repair it??? please help me! | 13:44 |
| MonkeyDust | HSarena first step: system settings, mouse & touchpad | 13:45 |
| Crocell | zykotick9: sure it is, the problem is the other way around: if i give qemu-kvm the argument -hdc /dev/sda2 then it will use the physical partition as a virtual disk. using a normal installer on that would lead to the creation of partitions there that could only be accessible via nbd-devices when outside qemu. | 13:45 |
| wildwind | Somelauw: was anything restored in RECOVERED_FILES/? | 13:46 |
| zykotick9 | Crocell: do a normal install to a partition, then use kvm/qemu to boot it... | 13:46 |

| bibinou | Firefox is locking up and when it's coming back it's all in black and white, there is no colors, i think it's a compiz bug | 13:50 |
| bibinou | is it a known issue ? | 13:50 |
| auronandace | bibinou: compiz will grey out an application if it is no longer responding | 13:51 |
| Crocell | zykotick9: thx for debootstrap | 13:51 |
| bibinou | yeah but when i comes BACK it's still gray | 13:51 |
| bibinou | but not the same gray | 13:51 |
| compdoc | bibinou, not that Ive seen. Have you looked at your add-ons? | 13:51 |
| Crocell | zykotick9: from the couple lines i just read, that could hopefully do it | 13:52 |
| bibinou | I only have pocket, I already contacted their support | 13:52 |

| cadams | Oh, sorry, I'm on 10.4 | 13:54 |
| bibinou | but the gray thing should not be firefox related | 13:54 |
| Somelauw | Also, I think I hate nvidia drivers. When I was using nouveau the temperature of my laptop was about 30 degrees, but with nvidia drivers it is 40 degress. | 13:54 |
| bibinou | I think compiz freaks out at some point as firefox switch between unresponsive and responsive | 13:54 |
| cadams | But still, does anyone remember how to get the session manager from the login screen. I can look into upgrading later, but at this moment I really need my desktop for work. | 13:55 |
| bibinou | ok just wanted to know if someone has seen it, reporting | 13:55 |
| Somelauw | Just a random complaint. | 13:57 |

| L3top | ReshAyin upgraded from Maverick to Precise last night, and now browsers do not hit the internet but presumably other things do. IPv6 appears to be enabled where it was not before. Hopefully someone can help them as this is not a strong area for me and I have to go AFK. | 15:47 |
| ReshAyin | L3top, gracias man/sheman :D | 15:48 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: upgrading from maverick to precise is not supported | 15:48 |
| freenetwork | hmm, cry | 15:48 |
| alesan | hi! I have a "server" 10.04LTS that I would like to update to 12.04LTS. Is it possible at all, or I have to update to each version, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, and finally 12.04? | 15:48 |
| ReshAyin | auronandace, oh great | 15:49 |
| ReshAyin | was instructed to upgrade | 15:49 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: did you upgrade directly? | 15:49 |
| bekks | alesan: Updating a LTS to the next LTS is possible. | 15:49 |
| ReshAyin | upgraded in the terminal | 15:49 |
| Fyodorovna | ReshAyin, if you want ipv6 off do this. gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub change this line like this. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash” | 15:49 |
| alesan | bekks, directly 10.04 -> 12.04 with a single pass? | 15:50 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: you need to upgrade from one to the next: so 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 15:50 |
| alesan | bekks, good! how should I proceed? | 15:50 |
| ReshAyin | actually Fyodorovna, went into connection settings & chose "Ignore" for IPv6 | 15:50 |
| Fyodorovna | ReshAyin, I just go straight to the kernel personally. | 15:50 |
| ReshAyin | auronandace, was already at 12.04 | 15:50 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: you said you upgraded from maverick (10.10) | 15:51 |
| Fyodorovna | gotta go see you all | 15:51 |
| bekks | alesan: Like this: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1004-1010-1104-to-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-a-server/ | 15:51 |
| ReshAyin | auronandace, that was a different person :) | 15:52 |
| ReshAyin | personally upgraded from 12.04 | 15:52 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: what? 12.04 is the latest | 15:53 |
| bekks | ReshAyin: So you are running 12.10 then? | 15:53 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: if you are using 12.10 then go to #ubuntu+1 | 15:53 |
| ReshAyin | it did an upgrade... L3top suggested to upgrade | 15:53 |
| ReshAyin | gracias auronandace | 15:54 |

| L3top | auronandace: I believe they upgraded direct from maverick to precise but still need support, and havn't quite figured out how to say the right thing to get it. | 15:56 |
| decrisky001 | if i just installed ubuntu how do i get my 1tb usb hard drive to work | 15:56 |
| auronandace | L3top: the right thing to say is: that isn't supported | 15:56 |
| decrisky001 | i plugged it in i dont see it under file system or nothing | 15:56 |
| b636bc7ca | decrisky001: You probably need to mount it | 15:57 |
| decrisky001 | ahh i see | 15:57 |
| decrisky001 | how do i do that mount it | 15:57 |
| L3top | I did indeed explain that the OS was EOL and an upgrade was required... they said "OK" and left. I did not specify, nor was I asked how. | 15:57 |
| decrisky001 | is there a mount program | 15:57 |
| livingdaylight_ | ubuntu offers to install skype via software centre after dl from their homepage. I notice kubuntu doesn't. So, have to install the package old-school style. Is it, sudo dpkg - application.deb ?? can someone confirm, please? | 15:57 |
| b636bc7ca | yes | 15:57 |
| ReshAyin | umm, nope, am using 12.04 Precise | 15:57 |
| b636bc7ca | it's called "mount" | 15:57 |
| auronandace | L3top: sorry if it sounds like i'm blaming you | 15:57 |

| decrisky001 | okay thx i'll do that | 15:58 |
| L3top | auronandace: I believe I am sort of blaming me. In the future I will explain that proceedure to avoid this. | 15:58 |

| wolflisk | any ideas how to to fix this? | 16:00 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: so you didn't upgrade from a previous release, you just updated your 12.04 | 16:00 |

| heligoland | how can i find out why my newly installed 12.04 keeps freezing on me? | 16:03 |
| heligoland | are there error logs that may have something in them? | 16:03 |
| ReshAyin | auronandace, am very explicitly clear what was done... upgraded from 11.10 weeks priori to 12.04, & last night did a superfluous "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 16:04 |
| L3top | <Hetep> W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> was why I said to upgrade. | 16:04 |
| auronandace | ReshAyin: see, now that was much clearer | 16:04 |
| Saeryn | So, I've narrowed my issue down even more, to the point of being able to reproduce the kernel panic each time, yet I can never seem to capture the output I see in tty1 Virtual Terminal into a text file... I'm running "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tee Foo.txt" or "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log > Foo.txt" but nothing seems to work, is it Xorg.0.log output that im seeing in tty1? 10.04LTS. | 16:04 |
| ReshAyin | auronandace, yes forgive language discrepancies | 16:04 |
| ReshAyin | L3top, yes... followed web page instructions to fix that problem | 16:06 |

| Praxi | how come in unbuntu, my backspace key doesn't repeat, but in a XP vm on the ubuntu box, it does? | 16:06 |
| Scribal | Fyodorova, da! | 16:07 |
| Saeryn | heligoland Check /var/log/ directory. | 16:07 |
| Scribal | dcullen, yeah! | 16:07 |
| Scribal | Sorry, switching tasks a bit. | 16:07 |
| Scribal | Well, it's like this: | 16:07 |
| Scribal | I had a glorious quad boot system running, and first grub would lock up at the menu. | 16:07 |
| Saeryn | So is anyone able to tell me what is outputting to tty1 in 10.04LTS and how to capture that output in a file? So far nothing is working. | 16:08 |
| Scribal | I bypassed this by manually overwriting the values in the grub.cfg file to auto-select. | 16:08 |
| Scribal | Then I would simply reboot, and the default value would be where I wanted it, therefore not making the keyboard use necessary. | 16:08 |
| pawan | hi | 16:08 |
| Scribal | One fine day, grub would show up as usual, but I had no countdown. | 16:08 |
| Scribal | It just sat there. | 16:09 |
| pawan | wired network not managed | 16:09 |
| Scribal | The log check showed that the indexing was wrong on the various volumes (partitions) | 16:09 |
| Scribal | And therefore, I assumed it just didn't boot into the default prompts. | 16:09 |
| heligoland | Saeryn, which file? | 16:09 |
| Scribal | I did a complete grub reinstall off of the live CD. | 16:10 |
| Scribal | grub-install and grub-update. | 16:10 |

| Scribal | You have to reinstall the whole thing if you want to get anywhere, and I have no idea how to do that, actually. | 16:12 |
| MO_Handes | now you mean I should choose one between Windows and Linux?! O_o | 16:12 |
| Scribal | You can use one primary partition as a series of extended partitions. | 16:12 |
| bekks | MO_Handes: No. | 16:12 |
| bekks | You can have up to four primary partitions. | 16:12 |
| Scribal | Why does windows take up 3 system partitions? | 16:13 |
| surfdue | Can a magento module's controller have a _construct? | 16:13 |
| Scribal | Also, by "system partitions{" do you mean "Primary/Logical partitions"? | 16:13 |
| bekks | Having at least ONE extended partition, you can have up to 16 logical partitions in that single extended partition. | 16:13 |
| auronandace | MO_Handes: you need a primary partition for a bios recovery (i've never seen that before) | 16:13 |
| auronandace | MO_Handes: sorry, that was meant to be a question | 16:13 |
| MO_Handes | Scribal, I just don't now, they are pre-created by the laptop company, I once removed one and installed ubuntu, the the Windows didn't boot and blue screen appeared and I had to recover everything. | 16:14 |
| bekks | MO_Handes: Having three pre-installed partitions, you can just create an extended partition and just be happy :) | 16:14 |
| MO_Handes | auronandace, I don't know, I just don't want it to crash everything again. I'm trying not to touch those partitions at all | 16:14 |

| auronandace | MO_Handes: windows only needs one partition, the others are unneeded | 16:15 |

| MO_Handes | samuel, I don't give a shit about Windows, but the friend I'm trying to install Ubuntu for, wants to have the recovery partition for the time the Windows needs a repair or fresh install | 16:22 |
| IdleOne | MO_Handes: Please watch your language in here | 16:23 |

| bittyx-laptop | hi all, a quick question - i'm thinking about installing php on my laptop (ubuntu), and the recommended ubuntu/debian way is through apt-get - but they only seem to have packages labeled "php5" - as i have no idea which version of php this actually is, and i want to install a specific version (ie. 5.3.14), my only choice is to install php from source, right? | 16:33 |
| Asar | can not reach pastebin | 16:33 |
| Asar | sorry | 16:33 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: 127.0.0.1 seems unlikely to be a valid DNS server | 16:33 |
| mnn | how are you all | 16:33 |
| Pici | bittyx-laptop: apt-cache show php5 | 16:33 |
| bhavesh | Asar: try changing settings to 100Mbps full duplex/ 100MBps half duplex / 10Mbps full duplex then | 16:33 |
| b636bc7ca | bittyx-laptop: yes | 16:34 |
| b636bc7ca | m477: so one laptop will connect to the wired network, but another will not? | 16:34 |
| GeminiDomino | b636bc7ca: I've noticed an annoying tendency of Precise to have resolvconf do that on a few of my installs, too. | 16:34 |
| Asar | am not certain how to do such bhavesh | 16:34 |
| bhavesh | martini, Does it have somthing to do with not having installed the app which allows you to re arrange lists? | 16:34 |
| vesh7807 | hi network options seems to be greyed out so cannot set static ip address. even tried terminal to no avail. only dhcp working. any ideas | 16:34 |
| bhavesh | Asar http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-network-card-speed-and-duplex-settings-in-ubuntu.html | 16:34 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Try editing /etc/resolv.conf to change 127.0.0.1 to 8.8.8.8 and see if it fixes your problem | 16:35 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: that command shows php5.3.3 - and that's kind of pretty old | 16:35 |
| m477 | b636bc7ca: yes | 16:35 |
| Asar | bhavesh, you're siting an internet site that is unreachable | 16:35 |
| b636bc7ca | m477: Is it possible that whatever service provider rests at the other end of that connection only allows certain MACs? | 16:35 |
| Pici | bittyx-laptop: What release of UBuntu are you on? | 16:35 |
| m477 | b636bc7ca: I have two notebooks | 16:35 |
| === lubuntu is now known as Guest77340 | ||
| UICTamale | Hey everyone - As of a recent apt-get update && upgrade, I'm suddenly noticing really bad delays in using google Chrome - selecting text, scrolling, changing tabs - all these operations can take a few seconds now when they used to be instant. Can anyone help? This is killing my productivity today. | 16:35 |
| Pici | bittyx-laptop: not that we have 5.3.14 available, but I don't see 5.3.3 in any of our supported releases. | 16:36 |
| Guest77340 | WTF can't Lubuntu-12 make my touchpad work, while Puppylinux version of 2 years ago can?!?!?! | 16:36 |
| bhavesh | Asar: First you have to install ethtool with "sudo apt-get install ethtool net-tools" then check your speed/duplex settings with "ethtool eth0" and change the settings with "sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half" changing the 10/half | 16:36 |
| swaT30 | UICTamale: without any more details, I'd recommend using the restricted drivers | 16:36 |
| swaT30 | for your video card | 16:36 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: i'm on ubuntu 10.10 - i know it's old, and i'll upgrade to 12.04 in the next few days | 16:36 |
| bhavesh | How can I right click on gnome-panel in gnome -sessioon-fallback? | 16:37 |
| b636bc7ca | m477: Every network card in the world has a (theoretically unique) identifier attached to it, called a "MAC address". Some ISPs, such as Comcast, will only allow a single MAC address from a given connection; adding a new machine on to that line will not work. | 16:37 |
| m477 | b636bc7ca: no, there should be connection independently of MACs | 16:37 |
| Pici | bittyx-laptop: 12.04 only has 5.3.10 in it. | 16:37 |
| Guest77340 | answer please. I'm attoniched that a stupid touchpad isn't recognized by Ubuntu12* system | 16:37 |
| bhavesh | Ctrl/Alt RMB/LMB does not work | 16:37 |
| Asar | bhavesh, unable to fetch the archives | 16:37 |
| mnn | <b636bc7ca> : go to system tools | 16:38 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Try editing /etc/resolv.conf to change 127.0.0.1 to 8.8.8.8 and see if it fixes your problem | 16:38 |
| m477 | b636bc7ca: I do not know what is ISP but I have been told that it should connect in this network | 16:38 |
| UICTamale | swaT30: yeah, I'm using the open source ones | 16:38 |
| Pici | !attitude | Guest77340 | 16:38 |
| ubottu | Guest77340: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 16:38 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: i'm a web-dev, and i've grown sick and tired of windows, so i'm making a switch to doing all work in ubuntu - but my current wamp stack mostly mirrors my company's production servers (at least with software versions), and i'd like to do the same on ubuntu | 16:38 |
| Guest77340 | ok ok I know by heart those sentences | 16:38 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: actually, taking a closer look, our production uses 5.3.13, we haven't switched to 5.3.14 yet | 16:38 |
| Guest77340 | I just need some help for a so-simpe but difficult-to-solve problem | 16:38 |
| Asar | can't change it | 16:39 |
| martini | bhavesh: maybe alt+super+right-click | 16:39 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca | 16:39 |
| bhavesh | martini: love you :D Worked :D thank you. | 16:39 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Why not? | 16:39 |

| Asar | gksu gedit | 16:40 |
| Pici | !who | Asar | 16:40 |
| ubottu | Asar: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:40 |
| martini | bhavesh: your'e welcome | 16:40 |
| Pici | bittyx-laptop: Then your only choice would be to compile from source, or search out a ppa that provides the version that you need. Both options are at your own risk though. | 16:41 |
| Asar | ok, changed it... does it need reboot? | 16:41 |
| Saeryn | So same question as earlier, how do I get the information I see outputted to tty1 after a startx into a file, such as the text that gets spewed into tty1 right before a kernel panic, 10.04LTS | 16:41 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: No | 16:41 |
| bhavesh | Asar: I guess it just needs reconnecting the network | 16:41 |
| chipcash | I'm here | 16:41 |
| ResQue | i set the flag GRUB_BACKGROUND=/boot/grub/test.png in /etc/default/grub and run the command grub-mkconfig but the image does not show up at boot time. Am i missing somethere here? | 16:42 |
| b636bc7ca | There's a key on my keyboard (right control key) that, when I hit it, all of a sudden I can only type accented characters; I believe this is called the 'Compose' key. 1) Am I right about its name? 2) How do I turn it off when I bump that key (short of logging out and back in)? | 16:42 |
| fabian__ | Hello guys! | 16:42 |
| ResQue | b636bc7ca: if you go into settings>keyboard layout>advance settings there should be something in there to turn that key on or off | 16:43 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: well it's for my local dev-environment so it's not strictly a sensitive issue - as long as it mostly works correct. i've never compiled from source so it might be a good idea to try that out, but out of curiosity, where would i find a ppa that provides my desired version? | 16:43 |
| fabian__ | My Ubuntu is showing some erros, I had a look at /var/log/syslog and found this before crash : linux-System-Name kernel: [97030.942803] audit_printk_skb: 42 callbacks suppressed | 16:43 |
| b636bc7ca | ResQue: and if I'm not using X? | 16:43 |
| fabian__ | Could someone help me to figure how to solve it please? | 16:43 |
| Guest77340 | pleaaaaaaaaase I can pay for some good support | 16:43 |
| ResQue | b636bc7ca: i am not sure sorry, i have only ever needed to change the settings once. If i fix this grub issue i will double check for you | 16:44 |
| Guest77340 | just don't make me wait here for years | 16:44 |
| b636bc7ca | ResQue: Did you run update-grub? | 16:44 |
| mbalmer | whats the problem? | 16:44 |
| fabian__ | It also showed : linux-System-Name kernel: [97030.942803] audit_printk_skb: 42 callbacks suppressed | 16:44 |

| Guest77340 | bhavesh: ubuntu forums are even more slow | 16:45 |
| ResQue | b636bc7ca: no, i was under the impression that the /boot/grub/grub.cfg is read at run time, is this correct? | 16:45 |
| mbalmer | write a device driver for your touchpad, then, I guess | 16:45 |
| martini | i want to reinstall my ubuntu. when i just copy my home folder, are the settings like usernames and passwords for e.g. filezilla in there and can i use them? | 16:45 |
| Guest77340 | -.- | 16:45 |
| chipcash | hello all | 16:45 |
| bittyx-laptop | Pici: thank you very much, kind sir, i'll check that out | 16:46 |
| fabian__ | Guest77340, why don't you change ditro to some more fast then? | 16:46 |
| ResQue | b636bc7ca: also i just checked update-grub is just a stub for grub-mkconfig, thanks anyway | 16:46 |
| Guest77340 | mbalmer: the strange thing is that puppy linux (WOW puppy linux) does recognize it. and ubuntu, supported my shuttlewoorth's money, doesn't :O | 16:46 |
| b636bc7ca | bittyx-laptop: There's no promise you *CAN* find a PPA that packages your desired version, though. | 16:46 |
| chipcash | I Have dl ed unetbootin | 16:46 |
| Guest77340 | s/my/by | 16:46 |
| mbalmer | does it deliver data on a tty? | 16:46 |
| b636bc7ca | Guest77340: So use Puppy Linux, figure out how they're supporting it, and bring that over to Ubuntu. | 16:47 |
| Asar | anybody have any other suggestions? | 16:47 |
| Guest77340 | what a lose of time | 16:47 |
| Jacruth | ey guys, do you know any CSV splitter? | 16:47 |
| bittyx-laptop | b636bc7ca: yeah, i'm beginning to see that. nevermind, i guess i could use some experience with installing php on my own | 16:47 |
| Guest77340 | ubuntu sucks ,guys | 16:47 |

| b636bc7ca | Asar: What does "dig google.com" say on a terminal? | 16:47 |
| Pici | Jacruth: splitter? Can you be more specific of what you're trying to accomplish? | 16:47 |
| mbalmer | what an ass... | 16:47 |
| b636bc7ca | vesh7807: What do you mean "tried terminal to no avail"? | 16:48 |

| Asar | b636bc7ca it does not | 16:48 |
| Pici | ninjaaron: check out #ubuntuforums | 16:48 |
| Jacruth | Pici, because OpenOffice can't process it all | 16:48 |

| Pici | Jacruth: You can use 'split' to split any file into any number of bytes/lined files. | 16:48 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: and what about 'dig google.com @8.8.8.8'? | 16:48 |
| Jacruth | Even if it is CSV, Pici ? | 16:49 |
| Pici | Jacruth: a CSV is just a text file. | 16:49 |
| Saeryn | I'm getting a kernel panic that I wish to work through however the information that I see in TTY1 is not found or saved to any other log files it seems. How do I find what specific process is printing to tty1 so that I can also have it print to a text file as well and get some information about this kernel panic? | 16:49 |
| vesh7807 | b636bc7ca: i tried to set static ip address sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and even restarted the interfaces to no avail as well | 16:49 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca, same thing, "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" | 16:50 |
| Pici | Jacruth: ie: split -l 50000 infile.txt outfile. will produce a bunch of files called outfile.aa, outfile.ab, outfile.ac etc | 16:50 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 | 16:50 |
| b636bc7ca | vesh7807: When you edited /etc/network/interfaces and did '/etc/init.d/networking restart', what happened? | 16:50 |
| Asar | do not have traceroute installed | 16:51 |
| bonez2046 | install and then run it, asar | 16:51 |
| Asar | bonez2046, welcome to the conversation... can't install it... observe the "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" comment? | 16:52 |
| vesh7807 | i used service networking restart as it says that init.d is depreciated it restarts the service fine but im still stuck with the dhcp address | 16:52 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: You'll have to download it on another computer to some kind of portable media | 16:52 |
| vesh7807 | b636bc7ca: i used service networking restart as it says that init.d is depreciated it restarts the service fine but im still stuck with the dhcp address | 16:52 |

| t00tie | hi. What sw can I use to run a webcam. I havn't bought a cam yet either, any recommendations for a cheap one? I'm considering a Creative WebCam Live! Cam Socialize L8 | 17:09 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca, are you there? | 17:09 |
| Saeryn | So then no one knows what the stdout is on TTY1 in Lucid? Such as during a Kernel Panic? I was thinking it's Xorg.0.log but what I see right before the panic isn't saved in that log. | 17:09 |
| Asar | t00tie, use "Cheese" | 17:09 |
| nicoAMG | fabian__, if your computer is very old and has low processor speed/ram, you must to take actions like switch to a lightweight desktop environment to free up system resources | 17:09 |
| fabian__ | nicoAMG, old computer mate. | 17:10 |
| fabian__ | nicoAMG, like which one for example? | 17:10 |
| t00tie | ty Asar | 17:10 |
| Asar | your welcome :) | 17:10 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: the kernel is not able to log that on a file | 17:10 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: its stderr on tty | 17:11 |
| nicoAMG | fabian__, are you running Gnome? | 17:11 |
| Asar | personally have a creative cam... think they're kinda cheap, though what is to be expected 10 year old hardware? hehe | 17:11 |
| Asar | Cheese will operate your cam just good enough though t00tie | 17:11 |
| Saeryn | iceroot So there is no way to either copy it or redirect it? | 17:11 |
| Asar | would love to download a thing to fix the dns problem | 17:12 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Did you do a traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 yet, as I asked? | 17:12 |
| Asar | not yet | 17:12 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: kernel-panics, no | 17:12 |
| Asar | needed the command again... didn't look back | 17:12 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: not with the default kernel config (imo) | 17:12 |
| braindea1 | hey i have a corrupt python installation which doesnt allow me to install software from soft-center and makes system unstable, any idea how i can fix that without having to reinstall OS | 17:13 |
| t00tie | there's no traceroute on ubuntu and that _is_ a bug | 17:13 |
| nicoAMG | fabian__, xfce for example: http://www.xfce.org/ | 17:13 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: there are network-loggers which are storing that output but directly to a file is normally not possible | 17:13 |
| vesh7807 | b636bc7ca: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100433/ | 17:13 |
| Saeryn | Damn. | 17:13 |
| Asar | traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets | 17:13 |
| Asar | send: Operation not permitted | 17:14 |
| iceroot | t00tie: tracepath host | 17:14 |
| scott_z | Is there a channel for gparted? | 17:14 |
| Saeryn | Oh well. See iceroot basically I have a USB Webcam it has a finicky cord, whenever I move it in the slightest, X goes unresponsive and kernel panic. However no kernel panic when there is no X session started via startx. | 17:14 |
| t00tie | that's not traceroute!!! nor is mtr | 17:14 |
| Saeryn | Only information I've been able to find in any log or output is that mainly, tons of output in a matter of seconds but I can't save any of it :P | 17:15 |
| Saeryn | Catch-22 | 17:15 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: camera and but it to a bug-report | 17:15 |
| iceroot | Saeryn: i was doing the same when facing kernel-panics | 17:15 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: route -en | grep '^0' | 17:15 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca? | 17:16 |

| TheWhiteHatter | my pc fan still isn't spinning... | 17:16 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Run that | 17:16 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: route -en | grep '^0' | 17:16 |
| Saeryn | iceroot that may just work, I didn't think about using my new phone to try to capture what I can... Just got it the other day :P Thank you Iceroot. | 17:17 |
| braindea1 | anybody can answer how can i fix that ? | 17:17 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca: 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 | 17:17 |
| TheWhiteHatter | braindea1: what's the problem? | 17:17 |
| nicoAMG | fabian__, there is a Ubuntu versión that integrates the XFCE desktop evironment (www.xubuntu.org) | 17:17 |
| Asar | though it's suppose to be 127.0.0.1 | 17:17 |
| braindea1 | TheWhiteHatter: My python installation has been corrupted | 17:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | This is really starting to annoy: Keyboard shortcuts do not work. I think this also goes with the fact it does not notice when I hold down ALT and right-click a panel tool. | 17:18 |
| Resinator | is it possible that somehow some way the iso i got is corrupt even though it meets the md5 requirement | 17:18 |
| TheWhiteHatter | braindea1: did you try just reinstalling? | 17:18 |
| braindea1 | so it doesnt allow me to install any packges from software center | 17:18 |
| auronandace | Resinator: maybe it isn't the cd but the cd drive | 17:19 |
| Resinator | i tried from a flash drive today | 17:19 |
| braindea1 | yeah i did sudo apt-get purge python and then apt-get install python, no effect | 17:19 |
| fabian__ | If I am looking for a complete hardware overview of my computer like this : https://gist.github.com/3092035 what is the terminal command I should use ? | 17:19 |
| Resinator | and downloaded the iso a second time | 17:19 |
| martini | braindea1: try sudo apt-get reinstall in a terminal | 17:19 |
| Resinator | and according to the website my hardware should be compatible | 17:19 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest57553 | ||

| Guest57553 | italia | 17:20 |
| Asar | b636bc7ca, no? | 17:20 |
| TheWhiteHatter | braindea1: try " sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 17:21 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: If your default gateway is the lo interface, you can't get any network traffic off your machine | 17:21 |
| Asar | ahh | 17:21 |
| Asar | ok | 17:21 |
| Resinator | still the same problem from the flash drive, during the initial boot of the setup the dots will be turning red and white, then just stop | 17:21 |
| braindea1 | martini: I am not sure if there is apt-get reinstall or re-install option | 17:21 |
| braindea1 | I get Invalid operation | 17:21 |
| TheWhiteHatter | hmmm | 17:21 |
| b636bc7ca | Asar: Is 192.168.1.254 your router? | 17:21 |

| braindea1 | martini: --reinstall => not working... | 17:25 |
| Asar | vesh7807 "connection timed out. No Servers found" | 17:26 |
| braindea1 | TheWhiteHatter: dist-upgrade seems to work, lemme check thoroughly though | 17:26 |
| Asar | think it's a dns thing | 17:26 |

| Asar | Chromium's connection attempt to 74.125.233.23 was rejected | 17:28 |

| Resinator | even though i dont want to install alongside windows, i just want ubuntu i dont care what i have to do to get it | 17:28 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: try another browser | 17:28 |
| Asar | there is a thing blocking the browser | 17:28 |
| Asar | tried firefox | 17:28 |
| TheWhiteHatter | did it work braindea? | 17:28 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: ping the address | 17:28 |
| auronandace | Resinator: try using your iso in a vm, if it works there but you can't boot on hardware then it's likely your hardware at fault | 17:29 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: do you have any other computers connected to that network - are you able to browse on another | 17:29 |
| martini | braindea1: --reinstall is the parameter for install. you have to add the package, you want to reinstall | 17:29 |
| Asar | vesh7807 unable to connect | 17:29 |
| scott_z | What is gparted checking to determine that I have a bad sector on my hard drive and cannot resize my ntfs partition? | 17:29 |

| vesh7807 | Asar: ok | 17:39 |
| Asar | vesh7807, use System Settings > Network, see if it's the same | 17:40 |
| Asar | you should have "Options" available | 17:40 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: options is available but greyed out | 17:41 |

| DanielHoffman | This may seem like an xbox problem but it is piping through an ubuntu server, when i try to join a freind in a game it stalls and it says "Cant Connect to Party, there may be network problems". How do i fix this | 17:42 |
| Asar | vesh7807, in the terminal do "ifconfig" & set your mac address | 17:42 |
| agentgasmask | Praxi: Sure. I have 40-50 presets in the "styles and formating" menu that I have created, and when I open my document (spredsheet) in localc, it looks like a retard made it. The underlines are all big and thick and look like they have a drop shadow on them. I have hundreds of spredsheets that I don't have the time (and I think no one has the time ) to fix.

| dcullen | fabian__: How about I use pastebin? | 17:43 |
| agentgasmask | I realy am willing to try to fix this if someone can point me in the right direction. | 17:43 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: for about a week now and i never want to move/use windows again | 17:43 |
| fabian__ | dcullen, yes, that is what I am talking about, would you mind please ? | 17:43 |
| Praxi | agentgasmask, ahh interesting. I was under the impression that LO was just a recent fork and should work. | 17:43 |
| dcullen | fabian__: Will do. Give me a few seconds. | 17:44 |
| bekks | agentgasmask: Did you try the same with openoffice yet? ;) | 17:44 |
| fabian__ | dcullen, magnificent, I wait :D | 17:44 |

| bekks | agentgasmask: Is it the same Ubuntu version with the same openoffice version installed? | 17:45 |
| Praxi | agentgasmask, I know for my LO, I had to uninstall the one from the repositories and install from the LO website. I wasn't experiencing the same problem though | 17:45 |
| Asar | vesh7807, am going to get that info for you, sec | 17:45 |
| bekks | agentgasmask: Then the openoffice versions will differ. | 17:45 |

| Asar | vesh7807, reinstall, see if your "Options" button is available | 17:54 |
| Asar | vesh7807, yeah, there was mention of a bug on the web | 17:54 |
| agentgasmask | Does anyone know the package name for openofice.org? Not libreofice. | 17:54 |
| Asar | it was in the bugs.launchpad.org website | 17:55 |

| dcullen | agentgasmask: But I don't see any openoffice*common | 17:58 |
| crimsonmane | oracle bought openoffice and started doing things the founders disagreed with. so they made libreoffice. | 17:58 |

| agentgasmask | So does anyone know if Open Office.org is in the repos? I can only find an RPM file from their website. :( | 17:59 |
| dcullen | agentgasmask: OK, I see this: openoffice.org-common - office productivity suite -- arch-independent files | 17:59 |
| vesh7807 | Asar: thanks for your assistance, the bug is relating to something else. i'll keep researching and see what i can come up with | 17:59 |

| glebihan | agentgasmask, dcullen : openoffice packages in the repos are what's called transitional packages. They do not actually contain anything, their only goal was to make the transition from openoffce to libreoffice when ubuntu made the switch. Installing the openoffice package is pointless | 18:01 |

| notk0 | what is ppa? | 18:36 |
| Antonis | notk0, the problem is that I don't know where to put that command! | 18:37 |
| TheWhiteHatter | lol, I always seem to end up with the problems no-one has ever had before | 18:37 |
| emuhelp | Well, thanks all anyway. I guess I need to find how to copy the BIOS ROM into a file and use that. GDB??? I'd boot from DOS and use DEBUG if this had a floppy... *sigh thanks anyway | 18:37 |
| Antonis | how do I assign that command to .doc files? | 18:37 |
| escott | notk0, it comes down to "does the application draw to its own window, or does it draw to the root window, and if the former does it require/use transparency" | 18:37 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: When was the last time you _could_ edit files? | 18:37 |
| escott | notk0, compiz is used by unity-3d | 18:37 |

| TheWhiteHatter | I can edit all the stuff I normally use, like Documents and stuff | 18:38 |
| TheWhiteHatter | and I can install things with apt-get | 18:38 |
| TheWhiteHatter | but can't edit / | 18:38 |
| escott | emuhelp, seems like you are doing something crazy advanced. are you sure you have tried everything else? have you run the boot-info script and shown it to others? | 18:38 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: The only time I had a similar problem it was either: a) root file system re-mounted read-only due to error b) SELinux permission problem | 18:38 |
| TheWhiteHatter | So... wipe it and reinstall? | 18:38 |
| notk0 | I am not using unity, I don't understand all this ipad craziness, just because ipad/iphone was successful doesn't mean ubuntu have to copy it's interface, windows 8 have to copy it with metro, and so on | 18:38 |

| TheWhiteHatter | I can only edit stuff in /home/Home | 18:39 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: How about you run "strace <editor> <file> 2>&1 | tee strace.log" and give us a pastebin link of the output | 18:39 |
| TheWhiteHatter | Yes, I know about sudo and gksudo | 18:39 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You'll probably have to install strace using apt-get | 18:40 |
| notk0 | Antonis: when you installed wine didn't it ask you what folder to set up as your C drive? | 18:40 |
| martini | how about sudo nautilus? | 18:40 |
| TheWhiteHatter | it says, ambiguous redirect | 18:40 |
| urlwolf | wildwind: parted agrees with df | 18:40 |
| TheWhiteHatter | something like this? | 18:40 |

| b636bc7ca | TheWhiteHatter: &1, not $1 | 18:41 |
| escott | TheWhiteHatter, why would you gedit /? | 18:41 |
| machines | why would you make your root that big | 18:41 |
| Antonis | notk0, as I said before I know the path and I have the command to run word.. the problem is I don't know how to assign it to .doc files to open then by default with word | 18:41 |
| TheWhiteHatter | you said <editor> | 18:41 |

| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: Is this a problem starting Nautilus? | 18:42 |
| notk0 | Antonis: open with and add a new program that you set up as default? | 18:42 |
| TheWhiteHatter | I can read, but not write | 18:42 |
| notk0 | Antonis: use custom command? | 18:42 |
| Antonis | notk0, that's the problem.. I am not able to use a custom command in ubuntu 12.04 | 18:42 |
| Antonis | there is no custom command field anymore | 18:42 |
| TheWhiteHatter | what do I put in <editor> | 18:42 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: you probably should do fsck | 18:42 |
| notk0 | Antonis: really? because I have it | 18:42 |
| b636bc7ca | TheWhiteHatter: What are you trying to change under / ? | 18:42 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: How about this: strace <commands and arguments> 2>&1 | tee strace.log | 18:42 |
| urlwolf | wildwind: what would that do? | 18:42 |
| notk0 | Antonis: can you take a screenshot of your open with add application window? | 18:43 |
| urlwolf | this is an SSD, btw | 18:43 |
| TheWhiteHatter | well, I need to add a file to /sys/devices/virtual/thermal to enable my second fan (only 1 is running) | 18:43 |
| Antonis | notk0, already did.. sec | 18:43 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: I don't really care about what combination of commands and arguments is failing, I care about why it's failing, and that will show up in the strace log | 18:43 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You can't add a file to /sys, it's a virtual file system | 18:43 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: fix file system errors, including amount of free space | 18:44 |
| escott | TheWhiteHatter, i don't think you can "just add a file to /sys" and expect it to work. but the proper command to create an empty file is "touch filename" | 18:44 |
| * dcullen bang his head on his desk | 18:44 | |
| TheWhiteHatter | So how do I add a file to it? | 18:44 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: there may be errors or may not | 18:44 |
| dcullen | escott, TheWhiteHatter, You can't add a file to /sys or /proc | 18:44 |
| TheWhiteHatter | Is there anything I can do? | 18:44 |
| Antonis | notk0, http://i.imgur.com/uzapQ.png | 18:44 |
| TheWhiteHatter | at all? | 18:44 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: Files in /sys and /proc get added by the kernel and the device drivers | 18:44 |
| notk0 | TheWhiteHatter: what are you even trying to do? | 18:44 |
| TheWhiteHatter | One of my fans is not working | 18:45 |
| escott | TheWhiteHatter, you need support from your kernel for that. ie the operating system is not seeing the fan control device for that second fan, only the first | 18:45 |
| TheWhiteHatter | when talking to L3top, he said it may be because a file was deleted in the directory | 18:45 |
| TheWhiteHatter | when I added fancontrol | 18:45 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You might have to modify the fan driver to handle your fan. That is probably not a trivial change and might be better handled by a bug report against the kernel | 18:45 |
| urlwolf | wildwind: do I have do do it on an unmounted filesystem? | 18:45 |
| urlwolf | :/ | 18:45 |
| TheWhiteHatter | so how do I do that? | 18:46 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: also there may be some dir you (and baobab) can't access | 18:46 |
| urlwolf | it's the root dir | 18:46 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You can't delete a file from /sys or /proc | 18:46 |
| TheWhiteHatter | should I be able to add files to /? | 18:46 |
| urlwolf | du -bh --max-depth=1 doesn't show it | 18:46 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You should be able to do something like "sudo mkdir /mydir" | 18:46 |
| TheWhiteHatter | k I did that, now what | 18:46 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: But you will not be able to do something like "sudo mkdir /sys/mydir" or "sudo mkdir /proc/mydir" | 18:46 |
| TheWhiteHatter | ah | 18:47 |
| TheWhiteHatter | I see | 18:47 |
| Resinator | after some research i see that many people have had the same problem as me with the installation, perhaps i should install 11.10 and upgrade | 18:47 |
| TheWhiteHatter | so how do I fix the fan | 18:47 |
| notk0 | Antonis: well that is quite a shame, I think I found your solution | 18:47 |
| urlwolf | wildwind: can I run fsck on a mounted fs? (/) | 18:47 |
| Antonis | notk0, where exactly is it? I am running ubuntu 12.04 64bit | 18:47 |
| Antonis | notk0, please tell me | 18:47 |
| notk0 | Antonis: but I am not sure it will work, but you can always revert | 18:47 |
| Antonis | okay.. | 18:47 |
| escott | urlwolf, no | 18:48 |
| escott | urlwolf, unless it is mounted ro | 18:48 |
| notk0 | Antonis: what is the default text editor in ubuntu 12.04? it seems gedit is no more | 18:48 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You can 1) submit a bug report against the driver in the kernel and wait for the fix to make it into Ubuntu (6 to 12 months) 2) Fix the fan driver yourself and submit a patch to the kernel | 18:48 |
| urlwolf | nope | 18:48 |
| Antonis | notk0, it is gedit | 18:48 |
| TheWhiteHatter | thanks dcullen | 18:48 |
| notk0 | Antonis: it is? you have gedit? | 18:48 |
| Antonis | notk0, yeap | 18:48 |
| urlwolf | so if there's a mistmatch in df, du and baobab, ... fsck will fix it? | 18:48 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: I wish I could do more, but that is a nasty bug | 18:48 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: yes | 18:49 |

| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: There is one more possibility, do you know the name of the driver that handles your fans? | 18:49 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: I mean no, you should unmount | 18:49 |
| notk0 | Antonis open a terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list and try replacing the application that corresponds to doc files with the microsoft office link | 18:49 |

| TiZ | Hi. I'm installing a nvidia card onto a computer with intel onboard graphics. Can I use the onboard graphics and nvidia card in conjunction in order to have three displays? | 18:49 |

| urlwolf | what exact commands should I use (ext4)? | 18:49 |
| === belluzzo is now known as mbelluzzo | ||
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: You should be able to find the driver name by poking around in /sys or /proc near the fan file you previously mentioned (look for a symbolic link named "driver" or "drivers") | 18:50 |
| escott | urlwolf, df is going to count reserved space used by the filesystem itself that does not count to any particular file. du will only count space used by files. baobob should probably match du. | 18:50 |
| b636bc7ca | muh2000: 404 | 18:50 |
| muh2000 | b636bc7ca: ok thnx. | 18:50 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: If you don't know the name of the driver, give us a pastebin of the output of "lsmod" | 18:50 |
| notk0 | Antonis: I am really disappointed that there is no longer custom command , I would recommend changing to another desktop environment , one that is more "classic" and less "tablet" | 18:50 |
| wildwind | urlwolf: I think you should run fsck on partition, not on / | 18:50 |
| muh2000 | seems like that mirror is broken somehow :( | 18:50 |

| urlwolf | I can boot into sabayon, and do fsck on /dev/sda1 which has ubuntu | 18:51 |
| b636bc7ca | muh2000: I see 0ubuntu0.2, though | 18:51 |
| urlwolf | it's 100% | 18:51 |
| notk0 | Antonis: did it work? | 18:51 |
| Antonis | notk0, I already tried what you suggested but I am not sure what to edit.. | 18:51 |
| urlwolf | but the /home dir is only 65% | 18:51 |
| muh2000 | b636bc7ca: i dont understand | 18:51 |
| urlwolf | I have no idea where the rest of the space went | 18:51 |

| needhelp | I have problem with ubuntu internet , i can ping any site but can see a lilte of site in firefox or other browsers | 18:51 |
| urlwolf | du and baobab do not agree with df | 18:51 |

| notk0 | Antonis: do you have a line that is application/msexcel=libreoffice-writer.desktop ? | 18:52 |
| escott | TiZ, then with a complicated xorg.conf you probably could get it to work, but there will be issues. especially with acceleration | 18:52 |
| dcullen | oops, too many forward slashes | 18:52 |
| notk0 | I mean | 18:52 |

| muh2000 | b636bc7ca: i am trying to apt-get dist-upgrade and all the files are 404 ... :( | 18:52 |
| Antonis | and will it work if I put the .desktop file in home ~/.local/shared/applications rather than /usr ? | 18:52 |
| notk0 | Antonis: it means open excel files with libre-office etc so try replacitng | 18:52 |
| muh2000 | meaning there is some error somewhere :( | 18:53 |
| notk0 | libreoffice-writer.desktop with the location of your microsoft office word exe | 18:53 |
| Antonis | so no .desktop file but the whole command to run word? | 18:53 |
| Antonis | ok let me try | 18:53 |
| xangua | muh2000: it would be so much useful that you show us the actual terminal output | 18:53 |
| escott | TiZ, depending on what you need triple head for. it might be better to run one X server on nvidia as your main accelerated system, and another X server on intel with no acceleration. They won't be joined so you wont be able to move windows from one to the other, but thats easier | 18:53 |
| notk0 | Antonis: paste what command you have here first | 18:53 |
| b636bc7ca | muh2000: apt-get update ? | 18:53 |
| urlwolf | ok will do a fsck -yfv | 18:53 |
| urlwolf | stop me if that's wrong :) | 18:53 |
| Antonis | this is the command: /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2010" | 18:53 |

| urlwolf | k | 18:54 |
| urlwolf | brb | 18:54 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: I think you fan is handled by coretemp | 18:54 |
| TiZ | escott: That's something I was thinking about doing while I was still dinking around with displaylink, but you can't seamlessly move the cursor back and forth between them, can you? | 18:54 |
| TheWhiteHatter | okay | 18:54 |
| dcullen | _your_ fan | 18:54 |
| notk0 | Antonis: are you still here? I may have found a easier solution ? | 18:54 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: run "modinfo coretemp" and add that to the pastebin | 18:54 |
| escott | TiZ, you would need a second set of input devices as well (or a switch device) | 18:54 |
| notk0 | Antonis: you have to relog for changes to take effect or something | 18:55 |
| muh2000 | b636bc7ca: already did that.... apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade is what i always do. xangua: | 18:55 |

| b636bc7ca | muh2000: I can fetch that file from us.archive.ubuntu.com just fine | 18:56 |
| notk0 | Antonis: I found yet another solution | 18:56 |
| escott | TiZ, the problem comes down to libGL being a symlink to one and only one GL implementation. so at least one display would be unaccelerated, and then if one is unaccelerated your window manager would be unaccelerated... | 18:56 |

| b636bc7ca | muh2000: lol | 18:57 |
| TiZ | escott: Mesa will be the only GL implementation on my system. I just want the three displays. | 18:57 |
| dcullen | peugi: To what are you comparing it? | 18:57 |
| xangua | am too lazy to change the mirrors - Software Center - Edit menu - Sources | 18:57 |
| xangua | am too lazy to change the mirrors - Software Center - Edit menu - Sources muh2000 | 18:57 |
| escott | TiZ, then it might work. give it a try. i think you will need to hand edit your xorg.conf | 18:57 |
| TiZ | escott: I'm not afraid to do that, I started in Hardy. :P | 18:58 |
| Antonis | notk0, and the other solution? I think this one worked but now I am facing a playonlinux related problem :\ | 18:58 |

| Antonis | peugi, personally I believe gnome-xchat is a crime against xchat :P | 19:08 |
| dcullen | peugi: sorry, I think you have more options with pure xchat, I remember a transparency setting when I was using it 7 years ago | 19:08 |
| notk0 | Guest8011: you created files while on the live cd? | 19:08 |
| Antonis | notk0, give me a sec | 19:08 |
| Guest8011 | yes | 19:08 |
| Guest8011 | yes I did. like an SSH key | 19:08 |
| notk0 | Guest8011: I think you will lose them | 19:08 |
| escott | Guest8011, you should copy those files to some permanent storage | 19:08 |
| peugi | haha I will try that one then thanks | 19:08 |
| Guest8011 | bummer | 19:09 |
| notk0 | escott: the live cd puts those files on ram storage ? | 19:09 |

| escott | notk0, yes | 19:09 |
| Guest8011 | Have a good day! | 19:09 |

| slaveship | I'm using linux now, i've quit windows | 19:09 |
| balduin | Guest8011: if you make a custom layout you can deselect the button format and than you don't lose your /home directory! | 19:09 |

| slaveship | i'm still a noob but i'll get there | 19:10 |

| escott | notk0, well swap is not recoverable in general, so unless you explicitely save them or have a persistent liveUSB they are gone | 19:10 |
| Antonis | notk0, I am not sure.. but there are file associations in playonlinux and it should work just by dragging a .doc file to playonlinux.. | 19:10 |
| escott | Guest8011, thats different. thats if you have a permanent /home already. you don't yet have that | 19:10 |
| Gallomimia | argh. whats wrong with my download location. uh can someone remind me how to pick what mirror im fetching from? | 19:10 |

| Guest8011 | Oh! Too good to be true | 19:11 |
| notk0 | Antonis: ask in the playonlinux support how it configures wine, what folder it consideres it's C drie | 19:11 |
| escott | Guest8011, the only way files in a liveCD/liveUSB environment are saved is if it is a persistent liveUSB in which case they are saved ON the usb. otherwise you need to manually back them up | 19:11 |
| ki4ro_ | Gallomimia: For Ubuntu Software Center look at settings | 19:12 |
| Antonis | notk0, found it! /home/antonis/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14 | 19:12 |
| Gallomimia | swc is a little slow for me | 19:12 |
| balduin | Guest8011: but it is nessesary that you say you would use your /home directory as the new /home directory, but deselect the button formate! | 19:12 |
| Gallomimia | command line easy way? | 19:12 |
| notk0 | escott: swap is not recoverable ? does it write 0 bytes to it before it unmounts it | 19:12 |
| notk0 | Antonis: do you have a wine command? type wine in terminal ? | 19:12 |
| Guest8011 | well what you all say makes sense, gonna cross my fingers | 19:13 |
| slaveship | how do i know what version of ubuntu i'm using? | 19:14 |
| notk0 | escott: I remember reading that even ram is recoverable in up to a few minutes after the computer is shut down, there was an attack to get treucrypt passwords by taking the ram sticks out of a pc and putting them in another | 19:14 |
| Jordan_U | !version | slaveship | 19:14 |
| ubottu | slaveship: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 19:14 |
| slaveship | ty | 19:14 |
| escott | notk0, its not a filesystem. its not designed for permanent storage. the kernel just smears its mess all over the partition in whatever fashion makes the most sense to the kernel. once the kernel reboots it makes no attempt to recover the structure of the swap. its not even guaranteed that full files make it to swap. blocks 1 6 3 9 and 10 might be written to swap and blocks 2 4 5 7 8 kept in memory | 19:14 |
| Jordan_U | slaveship: You're welcome. | 19:14 |
| bb42 | hi,I have a Lenovo X61 with Ubuntu 12.04 on it, on Windows system keeps relativlycooland CPUisnearly unused,under LÚbuntu both cores are used between 20and 80% and systemis heating without end,does someone have an idea how tofix this?(means does someone have an idea where this ssystemload comes from?) | 19:14 |
| notk0 | escott: but it is in no way destroyed, if you were to search you may recover it | 19:15 |
| Yatoth | hi | 19:15 |
| === dcullen is now known as dcullenAFK | ||
| notk0 | swap is used to swap unused ram? is it even used on modern systems? | 19:15 |
| Yatoth | testing irc for the first time | 19:15 |
| escott | notk0, and thats why i say "in general". if you make an effort you can recover it, but its not configured to do so by default. (also if you have encrypted home you have encrypted swap and then there is a concious effort to make it unrecoverable) | 19:15 |
| notk0 | last time my ram was full is when I had a memory leak in an application | 19:15 |
| L3top | bb42: can you run top and see what is chewing up your cpu? | 19:15 |
| Yatoth | really helpful | 19:15 |
| ki4ro_ | Yatoth: It is working | 19:16 |
| notk0 | escott: is swap actively used even if my RAM is not even 30 % full? | 19:16 |
| Yatoth | so any has faced shutdown issues with 12.04? | 19:16 |
| Antonis | notk0, I have but it wont open the word exe file.. | 19:16 |
| wolfgang | what is terminal command for updating? | 19:16 |
| escott | notk0, probably not, but check with free -m | 19:16 |
| escott | wolfgang, apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and if necessary apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:16 |
| notk0 | escott: it is free, maybe I shouldn't even use a swap partition | 19:16 |
| wolfgang | Thankyou | 19:17 |
| Yatoth | i am facing some shutdown issues and need some help | 19:17 |
| notk0 | Antonis: I fear there is no quick solution I don't have much time but you can play with things, but you have to understand a little bit how wine works in general, and how programs start | 19:17 |
| notk0 | Antonis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67382/add-custom-command-in-the-open-with-dialog | 19:17 |
| notk0 | Antonis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6765/how-to-associate-a-file-with-a-program-installed-in-wine | 19:17 |
| Gallomimia | i cant seem to boot up graphical software center. can someone describe how to change my mirror from command line? | 19:17 |
| escott | notk0, some people dont use swap. i keep one because disk space is plentiful and I would rather have a swap storm (like i did last night when flash went crazy) and pick the program to kill manually than have the OOM killer do it for me | 19:17 |
| Antonis | thank you very, very much notk0 !! | 19:17 |
| Yatoth | shutdown issues ? | 19:17 |
| escott | Gallomimia, edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:18 |
| beandog | escott: I'm starting to adopt the same attitude | 19:18 |
| notk0 | Antonis: if you come in here I may check back tomorrow | 19:18 |
| bb42 | L3top: yes but results are not very helpful to me http://pastebin.com/jRGZaAza I don't know what this "plugin cont" thingi is... I installed system yesterday | 19:18 |
| notk0 | escott: isn't there a rescue terminal that is accessible in case you have to kill a program? | 19:19 |
| MicheleGuido | hi to all :3 | 19:19 |
| Yatoth | Hi Michele | 19:19 |
| Antonis | notk0, I will =) | 19:19 |
| PrinzPfeifi | hi can anyone tell me how to best install drivers i downloaded from Samsung website for my printer? | 19:19 |
| escott | notk0, thats what i did last night ctrl-alt-f1 to get to tty1 | 19:19 |
| L3top | bb42: some sort of plugin container... ps aux | grep plugin | 19:19 |
| notk0 | escott: if you have a memory leak it will spread to swap as well right? | 19:19 |
| IdleOne | PrinzPfeifi: the site should have install instructions | 19:20 |
| escott | bb42, flash plugin container | 19:20 |
| L3top | shocker | 19:20 |
| Yatoth | whats the equivalent of ctrl+alt+del in ubuntu | 19:20 |
| Jordan_U | notk0: Yes, but as swap is slower you'll have more time to respond before the OOM killer kicks in. | 19:20 |
| escott | !sysrq | Yatoth | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Yatoth: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 19:20 |
| bb42 | Yeah seems like that... thats weird | 19:21 |
| Yatoth | ubotu thanks for the link | 19:21 |
| notk0 | Jordan__: even if all your ram is full and swap as well, the system is still responsive no? you can still recover | 19:21 |
| notk0 | Jordan__: I remember recovering from a fork bomb without any limitation to spawn processes or anything | 19:21 |
| escott | notk0, it was painful last night. took about 5 minutes to get to tty1 | 19:21 |
| notk0 | escott: oh | 19:22 |
| escott | notk0, but eventually i got there, and was able to kill stuff | 19:22 |
| Jordan_U | notk0: When you run out of RAM and swap the kernel's OOM killer will kick in. It just may not kill what you want it to kill. | 19:22 |
| notk0 | anyway have to go eat then sleep see you guys | 19:22 |
| aaas | for some strange reasons i think i had a permissions reset on ~/.gvfs can someone tell me what their permissions are for ~/.gvfs | 19:22 |
| notk0 | Jordan__: I didn't know that | 19:22 |
| Jordan_U | !tab | notk0 | 19:22 |
| ubottu | notk0: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:22 |
| Yatoth | guys.,suggest some real good linux podcasts | 19:22 |
| notk0 | Jordan_U: my bad, I just used the first auto completed ones and wasn't talking to you | 19:23 |

| Jordan_U | bb42: http://youtube.com/html5 | 19:23 |
| notk0 | bb42: no | 19:24 |

| Jordan_U | escott: I use chrome, and I don't use youtube all that often either. | 19:25 |

| Yatoth | any remedies? | 19:26 |
| PrinzPfeifi | how can i type that tilde symbol? | 19:26 |
| PrinzPfeifi | ~ Ah ok got it | 19:26 |
| b636bc7ca | PrinzPfeifi: It's usually shift + the key to the left of '1' | 19:26 |
| escott | Yatoth, likely an acpi issue | 19:27 |
| b636bc7ca | There's a key on my keyboard (right control key) that, when I hit it, all of a sudden I can only type accented characters; I believe this is called the 'Compose' key. 1) Am I right about its name? 2) How do I turn it off when I bump that key (short of logging out and back in)? | 19:27 |
| Yatoth | acpi issue? | 19:27 |
| escott | b636bc7ca, in the keyboard properties there are some advanced options where you can unmap the right ctrl -> compose mapping. also check that you do not have a ~/.Xmodmap file | 19:27 |
| Yatoth | exit | 19:28 |
| Yatoth | Bye | 19:28 |

| Guest81071 | amd fx 4100? | 20:07 |
| giiker | Guest81071: amd cheap, intel little more expensive | 20:07 |

| pavlz | how to configure privoxy ? | 20:09 |
| Guest81071 | hey i cannot fix this errors now no ? | 20:10 |
| TheWhiteHatter | L3pot: you here? | 20:10 |
| bazhang | Guest81071, thats hardware, nothing to do with Ubuntu support. go to ##hardware | 20:10 |
| Guest81071 | can u give the link for hardware | 20:11 |
| escott | asmonaut, presumably you remove/move the file. touch a new one in its place and send the daemon SIGUSR1. not sure if there is another way | 20:11 |
| bazhang | Guest81071, ##hardware <------ its a channel | 20:11 |
| escott | asmonaut, if you are using logrotate for apache logs you could probably ask logrotate to rotate the apache logs | 20:12 |
| dcullen | Anyone in here running Ubuntu on a BeagleBoard-xM? | 20:12 |
| pavlz | hi, how to configure privoxy ? | 20:12 |
| dcullen | Actually, anyone in here running Ubuntu on any OMAP3 based system? I need help testing the fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1023952 | 20:12 |

| pavlz | HI, HOW TO CONFIGURE PRIVOXY ? | 20:14 |
| bazhang | pavlz, lose the caps | 20:14 |
| DJones | !patience | pavlz | 20:14 |
| ubottu | pavlz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:14 |
| asmonaut | escott: thanks :) | 20:14 |
| Ayoo | TURN OFF THE CAPS | 20:15 |
| dcullen | l o l | 20:15 |
| pavlz | you are speaking from 15 minutes, without to left enough space to the others, and nobody said: <pavlz>, sorry we don't know, i asked to times, and only the third tim i wrote with the caps, because i was ignored | 20:16 |
| dcullen | pavlz: How about you describe what you want privoxy to do for you? | 20:17 |
| beandog | pavlz: vim /etc/privoxy.conf | 20:17 |
| Antonis | since the last upgrade I did this morning (apt-get upgrade) when I try to play videos on youtube and other sites firefox almost crashes or gets not responsive then says something about a script.. and only when I press continue does it get responsive again but then I have to press the play button to start the video.. do you maybe have a solution? | 20:17 |

| dcullen | Antonis: Restore the backup you made before upgrading? | 20:17 |
| burckley | I need help mounting a ntfs partition device | 20:18 |
| sneakyimp | escott: thanks for no-ip tip. i'm using them. | 20:18 |
| dcullen | burckley: What problem are you having? | 20:18 |
| burckley | the ntfs config tool doesn't have the option: | 20:18 |
| burckley | enable write support for itnerna; device | 20:18 |
| pavlz | i found only config, i have not found privoxy.config | 20:18 |
| escott | sneakyimp, that was somebody else. i've got a grandfathered dyndns account | 20:18 |
| Antonis | dcullen, what backup? | 20:18 |
| dcullen | burckley: You may have to install ntfs-3g | 20:18 |
| sneakyimp | escott: ah it was beandog | 20:18 |
| dcullen | Antonis: I guess you didn't make one | 20:18 |
| beandog | yo | 20:19 |
| sneakyimp | beandog: thanks for no-ip tip, i'll be using them | 20:19 |
| beandog | right on :) | 20:19 |
| burckley | how to install ntfs-3g | 20:19 |
| burckley | ? | 20:19 |
| escott | burckley, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 20:19 |
| Antonis | dcullen, I usually only run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:19 |
| Antonis | do you keep backups everytime? | 20:20 |
| Antonis | :\ | 20:20 |
| burckley | already installed | 20:20 |
| burckley | and updated | 20:20 |
| dcullen | Antonis: I make backups of critical systems | 20:20 |
| pavlz | anyway ,thanks for your help | 20:20 |
| dcullen | burckley: Strange. You may have to manually mount the partition | 20:20 |
| burckley | failed miserably after following a random guide on the net | 20:20 |
| burckley | COuld you recommend one? | 20:21 |
| escott | burckley, have you tried "udisks --mount /dev/sdX#" where X# is the correct device and partition number | 20:21 |

| dcullen | burckley: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/<device> /mnt/point | 20:21 |
| Antonis | dcullen, so what should I do now? | 20:21 |
| === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick | ||
| burckley | escott: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 20:22 |
| dcullen | Antonis: You have several options. You can file bug reports on the problematice packages | 20:22 |
| burckley | The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. | 20:22 |
| burckley | The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. | 20:22 |
| burckley | Uops | 20:22 |
| Antonis | dcullen, well I am not sure what the problem might be.. is it firefox? is it flash? | 20:23 |
| dcullen | Antonis: Or you can make a backup of your /home directory and re-install the known-good O/S | 20:23 |
| ripthejacker | !java | 20:23 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:23 |
| burckley | ntfs signature is missing and failed to mount /dev/sda1 invalid argument | 20:23 |
| escott | burckley, you might want to boot into windows and run chkdsk | 20:23 |
| Antonis | dcullen, why should I reinstall the whole OS? | 20:23 |
| burckley | escott: i can't it's password protected | 20:23 |
| dcullen | burckley: Can you give us a pastebin of the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount'? | 20:23 |
| burckley | ok | 20:23 |
| dcullen | Antonis: Because the new O/S appears to be broken? | 20:23 |
| dcullen | Antonis: ...and you don't have a backup? | 20:24 |
| escott | burckley, then you shouldn't be using ntfs. you should only use NTFS when you have a valid copy of windows to fix any issues that come up | 20:24 |
| pavlz | anyway i losed my old configuration thanks to OPEN JAVA SDK VERSION 6 | 20:24 |
| pavlz | fuck JAVA | 20:24 |
| Antonis | dcullen, what new O/S? I didnä't upgrade from a previous version | 20:24 |
| hatchetjack | any idea about gnome-settings-daemon going hog wild on my cpu? | 20:24 |
| dcullen | escott, burckley: I wouldn't go that far. I've used Linux to handle problems with NTFS drives since 2005 | 20:24 |
| Antonis | I just updated the sources and run apt-get upgrade to update (maybe) firefox and other applications/files/libs etc. | 20:24 |
| Antonis | I was running ubuntu 12.04 and I am still running ubuntu 12.04 | 20:25 |
| escott | dcullen, handling problems on ntfs drives is one thing. just using an ntfs drive for extra storage with no windows system to fix it is another | 20:25 |

| dcullen | You said: [16:19] <Antonis> dcullen, I usually only run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:25 |
| pavlz | i dedicated 3 days to the backuo, and then i loosed all the bookmarks, because i use Tor and Tor can't start by live cd | 20:25 |
| burckley | http://pastebin.com/qNSkr6CB | 20:25 |
| dcullen | escott: I've used NTFS drives to share files between Windows and Linux for years and used ntfsfix on Linux to fix the problems | 20:26 |
| Antonis | dcullen, yes.. that doesn't mean I upgraded from a previous version | 20:26 |
| giiker | burckley: usually after running chkdsk one has to reboot twice the system. It worked for me once I had a problem with my NTFS drive. | 20:26 |
| dcullen | NTFS support on Linux is very mature and stable, escott | 20:26 |
| dcullen | Antonis: Yes, but you probably upgraded from 12.04.0 to 12.04.1 | 20:26 |
| burckley | giiker: i can't use chdsk as the windows system is password protected. | 20:26 |
| burckley | giiker: can't login... | 20:27 |
| Taev | umm how come the Ubuntu 12.04 installer isn't detecting my software RAID 0 partition i set with my last ubuntu install? | 20:27 |
| Taev | there seems no option for mounting them together as /dev/md0 | 20:27 |
| giiker | burckley: can you burn one of those rescue systems iso images and boot it from there? | 20:27 |
| Rallias | I have a question about LXC. Is there any known method to escaping a container using its technology? | 20:28 |
| burckley | giiker: unfortunately not | 20:28 |
| escott | burckley, what do you mean password protected? like an encrypted partition or just a normal windows boot that you cannot login to because you dont have the system passwords | 20:28 |
| pavlz | OPEN JAVA SDK VERSION 6, asked me dependencies with OPENGL and at that point, there was not anymore GDM and all the X Window System, i tried with the old generic kernel version or with recovery, but nothing to do, always locked, so i have had only the possibility to do a backup and to copy on an external hdd, but i'll never think to give support to JAVA and to flash | 20:28 |
| giiker | escott: login only | 20:28 |
| Antonis | dcullen, how do I check? | 20:28 |
| pavlz | i use GNASH, No-Script and get_flash_videos | 20:28 |
| dcullen | burckley: What happens if you run "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/<mount-point>"? | 20:28 |
| glebihan | dcullen, that wouldn't be an upgrade and 12.04.1 is not out anyway | 20:29 |
| giiker | burckley: I never had problems running chkdsk with password protected winblows systems | 20:29 |
| burckley | <mount-point> ? my chosing? | 20:29 |
| ki4ro_ | . | 20:29 |
| escott | burckley, yes, just sudo mkdir /mnt/mountpoint first | 20:29 |
| dcullen | Antonis: What does "lsb_release -r" produce? | 20:29 |
| Antonis | Release:12.04 | 20:30 |
| ki4ro_ | Anyone explain Unity Web Apps to me? | 20:30 |
| dcullen | glebihan: Then what Ed Zachary does "apt-get upgrade" do? | 20:30 |
| escott | Taev, have you installed mdadm? | 20:30 |
| escott | Taev, or rather are you using the alternate installer | 20:30 |
| glebihan | dcullen, it upgrades packages, it doesn't go from one release to another | 20:30 |
| escott | !alternate | Taev | 20:30 |
| ubottu | Taev: 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 | 20:30 |
| dcullen | burckley: Have you run ntfsck on /dev/sda1 ? | 20:30 |

| === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF | ||
| burckley | dcullen: 1 moment | 20:31 |
| dcullen | glebihan: So, semantically, apt-get upgrade means "apt-get upgrade all packages to the latest version"? | 20:31 |
| escott | Taev, i believe they may have taken that out because of space constraints (harder and harder to fit it on one CD) | 20:32 |
| dcullen | Antonis: Since you only upgraded packages, you can methodically downgrade packages one by one until you get Firefox working again | 20:32 |
| glebihan | dcullen, not quite all packages, only those for which the upgrade doesn't require the installation or removal of other packages | 20:32 |
| dcullen | Antonis: You might start looking at the Firefox dependencies using aptitude | 20:32 |
| Taev | good luck with apt-get upgrade I tried that and the Adept upgrade | 20:32 |
| Taev | completely hosed my system | 20:33 |
| escott | burckley, you have to run some kind of ntfs checking/fixing utility. chkdsk in windows is recommended you can try the ntfsfix utility in linux | 20:33 |
| burckley | http://pastebin.com/EDMx3Dc6 | 20:33 |
| dcullen | glebihan, Taev, Antonis, I think this is why I never run "apt-get upgrade". I've seen too many reports of "my system is completely hosed" afterward | 20:33 |
| burckley | escott: dcullen ntfsck ^ | 20:33 |
| Taev | yeah ive never had it successfully work once | 20:33 |
| glebihan | dcullen, which is a joke, as apt-get upgrade is basically the safest upgrade possible | 20:34 |
| escott | burckley, i'm recommending you figure out a way to boot windows (safe mode maybe, perhaps they have a variant of recovery mode?) maybe dcullen has some magic way of dealing with this | 20:34 |
| dcullen | burckley: I'm afraid your NTFS partition appears to be hosed, at least Linux thinks so | 20:34 |
| glebihan | dcullen, apart from individually picking every package to upgrade | 20:34 |
| burckley | dcullen: ntfsfix ? | 20:34 |
| burckley | Then why can i get on the login screen | 20:35 |
| giiker | burckley: you can try konboot to disable the password and then run chkdsk: google knboot | 20:35 |
| dcullen | escott, burckley: You can always boot SystemRescueCD (http://www.sysresccd.org/Download) and boot that. It probably has the latest and greatest ntfs-3g tools and they might be able to recover your partition. | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". | 20:35 |
| giiker | burckley: knoboot plays with indows kernel and disables the password, once inside windows, run chkdsk | 20:35 |
| giiker | dcullen: he still needs to boot into Winblows | 20:36 |
| dcullen | burckley: You can try ntfsfix. But it might cowardly refuse to do anything if it can't find the NTFS magic thing | 20:36 |
| MasterOfDisaster | I might be mistaken, but letting Windows handle NTFS recovery with chkdsk seems the safest route to me. | 20:36 |
| burckley | Jordan_U: root@ubuntu:~# sudo blkid/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"/dev/sdb1: LABEL="PENDRIVE" UUID="D7F3-EE44" TYPE="vfat" | 20:36 |
| dcullen | giiker: You can use SystemRescueCD to erase a Windows NT style password on 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 | 20:37 |
| giiker | burckley: http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/index2.html | 20:37 |
| giiker | dcullen: I know, but he wants to run chkdsk | 20:37 |
| dcullen | giiker, burckley, Just use the ntpass utility on the SystemRescueCD | 20:37 |
| dcullen | giiker, burckley, After you erase the password, you can force chkdsk using the magic keyboard combo (which I forget) | 20:37 |
| burckley | giiker's solution seems promising, i believe i won't need to burn a CD, as i dont have any burners available now | 20:38 |
| ripthejacker | !love | 20:38 |
| giiker | dcullen: forgot about SRcd's ntpass utility :b | 20:38 |
| giiker | burckley: just be carefull, if your NTFS is encrypted. | 20:38 |
| dcullen | burckley: There's a bazillion ways to force chkdsk at boot | 20:39 |
| dcullen | giiker: ntpass is verra nice | 20:39 |
| daveo | how would i use transmission (torrent-client) and at command to download a file at 02:30 in the morning? | 20:39 |
| escott | burckley, i would think you can just hit shift on boot and select something from the windows boot menu to get it to chkdsk | 20:39 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: Could you pastebin ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 20:40 |

| b636bc7ca | escott: I think I may have figured out my problem, if you're at all interested | 20:44 |
| escott | b636bc7ca, sure im curious what it was | 20:44 |
| giiker | burckley: You are getting the same errors I got once when I had errors on my MFT. | 20:45 |
| ashton | ubuntu | 20:45 |
| b636bc7ca | escott: keycode 97 on that keymap was set to "AltGr Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt" | 20:45 |
| dcullen | b636bc7ca: o.O | 20:46 |
| escott | b636bc7ca, what keymap was this? the loadkeys keymap? | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: This is somewhat of a shot in the dark, but try "sudo grub-mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/" | 20:46 |
| b636bc7ca | escott: Changing it to just "AltGr" (dropping all those "Alt"s) seems to have made it act like a "compose key" instead of a "sticky compose key" | 20:46 |
| b636bc7ca | escott: Yes | 20:46 |
| ashton | ubuntu | 20:46 |
| burckley | error: unknown filesystem. | 20:46 |
| giiker | burckley: Some how this happened when playing with gparted I marked a partition as Active. | 20:46 |
| burckley | Jordan_U: ^ | 20:46 |
| escott | b636bc7ca, loadkeys is something ive never played with | 20:47 |
| b636bc7ca | /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: Figures. Do you have any idea how the filesystem got into this state? | 20:47 |
| dcullen | burckley: Did you ever try ntfsfix? | 20:47 |
| b636bc7ca | when I uncompressed it and looked at keycode 97, it showed that "AltGr" with all those Alts after it | 20:47 |
| burckley | giiker: wouldn't know the implications of either marking a partition as active or inactive/passive | 20:47 |
| dcullen | burckley: If you can't get chkdsk to run, I'm not sure what else to try | 20:47 |
| burckley | Jordan_U: let's say the laptop fell off a truck and i have no idea about it's history :-) | 20:48 |
| dcullen | oh dear, we aren't becoming accomplices to a crime are we? | 20:48 |
| giiker | burckley: jajaja!! | 20:48 |
| burckley | dcullen: nope | 20:49 |
| burckley | finders keeprs | 20:49 |
| burckley | http://pastebin.com/Kq3P5kJz for ntfsfix | 20:49 |
| burckley | i'll try the bypass | 20:49 |
| b636bc7ca | On another of my Ubuntu 12.04 boxes, keycode 97 is set to "AltGr" 128 times | 20:49 |
| giiker | burckley: I still think you use konboot and run chkdsk, even Linux says to run chkdsk inside Winblows. I f you don't have another burner, you can create abootable USb drive | 20:49 |
| coffe | Hi , are trying to set up my ipv6 network. but even ipv4 addresses is a paint in the *u* to remeber ipv6 is harder, so i where going for setting up it with dhcp and have dhcp set my dns name,.. as one did with ipv4. but it seems its not sending any hostname when requesting a ip.. | 20:49 |
| burckley | ALso what if the partition is FAT32 ? | 20:49 |
| b636bc7ca | That is, "AltGr AltGr AltGr..." | 20:49 |
| burckley | giiker: i think i'll give konboot a try | 20:49 |
| b636bc7ca | But I'm not sure how that is set | 20:50 |
| b636bc7ca | Like, where does /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz come from in the first place? | 20:50 |
| ashton | ubuntu | 20:50 |
| bazhang | ashton, what about it | 20:51 |
| b636bc7ca | bazhang: It's awesome, that's what | 20:51 |
| giiker | burckley: good luck, and if that dowsn't work just backup ur data and wipe that partition off | 20:51 |
| b636bc7ca | :D | 20:51 |
| dcullen | burckley: That's bad news, man | 20:51 |
| burckley | dcullen: what is? | 20:52 |

| andar_ | Hey all; I'm having problems with my usb keyboard and mouse. They were working previously, but after a reboot yesterday, neither are working. I can see both of them when i run lsusb, but if i follow /var/log/Xorg.0.log when I attach or detach either of them I don't see any logged messages about enabling drivers for them whatsoever.. | 20:52 |
| dcullen | burckley: If ntfsfix failed to make any progress, the partition may be really bunged | 20:52 |
| BUSTACAP | How do I go about compiling this and installing it: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall ? | 20:53 |
| giiker | it's just one version, that I know of, and it says it works on Winblows 7 | 20:53 |
| dcullen | andar_: Look in the output of "dmesg" or in "/var/log/dmesg". | 20:53 |
| burckley | dcullen: I am very ignorant, so i'm probably going to ask a naive question: Could the partition be encrypted so that we get these errors? | 20:54 |
| giiker | burckley: wait, just read the info, nop it doesn't | 20:54 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: Yes, in fact that seeming most likely to me at the moment. | 20:54 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: the instructions are detailed enough, I suggest following them? | 20:55 |
| Jordan_U | burckley: Run boot info script and see what bootloader boot info script thinks the drive has. | 20:55 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | burckley | 20:55 |
| ubottu | burckley: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 20:55 |

| Jordan_U | burckley: Could you please post a picture of the login screen you're seeing (to #ubuntu-offtopic) ? | 21:13 |
| glebihan | Norrin, because you're running apt-get upgrade and not apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:13 |
| Norrin | i keep seeing mess on forums such as, 'upgrade cannot install new package or remove packages'. I don't see what that has to do with trying to install upgrades | 21:14 |

| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | Norrin | 21:14 |
| ubottu | Norrin: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 21:14 |
| glebihan | Norrin, when you have a new version of the kernel available, you need to get new packages (and not only new versions of already installed packages) | 21:14 |
| burckley | I'm sleeping at the office tonight so resources are scarce | 21:14 |
| glebihan | Norrin, which is why you need dist-upgrade instead of upgrade | 21:15 |
| Norrin | that's weird. i always though 'upgrade' handled dependencies | 21:15 |
| Norrin | thought* | 21:15 |
| MasterOfDisaster | qubit[01]: sure you don't want to use a VNC server? | 21:15 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, have you used heimdall? | 21:15 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: nope | 21:15 |

| glebihan | Norrin, it doesn't, it can only upgrade already installed packages | 21:16 |
| Norrin | i see | 21:16 |
| qubit[01] | MasterOfDisaster: actually I really just need X to be running for certain libraries to run that use QT and Cairo | 21:16 |
| Norrin | thanks auronandace & glebihan | 21:16 |
| glebihan | Norrin, you're welcome | 21:16 |
| Norrin | why is it called dist-upgrade is it doesn't upgrade the distribution? | 21:16 |
| Norrin | worst command naming ever? | 21:16 |
| MasterOfDisaster | qubit[01]: what for? X forwarding not enough? | 21:16 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, can you make any sense of this: http://pastebin.com/MNNVLBe4 | 21:17 |
| auronandace | Norrin: legacy fluff from debian | 21:17 |
| qubit[01] | MasterOfDisaster: X forwarding ? is that like xvfb and freinds ? | 21:17 |
| Norrin | auronandace now that i see that, i think i've hit this issue before. dist-upgrade is the worst it could be named. each time after a year or so, that i see it… i think it upgrades the distribution | 21:18 |
| MasterOfDisaster | qubit[01]: ssh -X user@host xterm <-- launches xterm on the remote host, but displays it on your local machine | 21:18 |

| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: seems to me like a permissions issue - check with strace | 21:19 |
| qubit[01] | MasterOfDisaster: oh ok cool | 21:19 |
| Norrin | j/ design | 21:19 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, I don't know what that means o.O | 21:19 |
| Norrin | typo | 21:19 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: it most likely tries to access a device file in /dev, to which your user doesn't have the necessary permissions | 21:20 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, but if i'm using sudo shouldn't it have enough permissions? | 21:20 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: oh - yes, it should work then | 21:21 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, if I don't use sudo it says failure to access device, if I do use sudo it gives me that error :( | 21:21 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: nevertheless, strace is a debugging tool - it will tell you which files a program tries to access and what happened | 21:22 |
| glebihan | Norrin, the naming can be confusing, but it originally has (and still has) sense : it's a distribution upgrade in the way that it can upgrade the kernel | 21:22 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: perhaps you just need to point it to the correct device | 21:22 |
| glebihan | Norrin, coming from debian, that makes perfect sense, since debian doesn't have releases in the way ubuntu does | 21:22 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: try this: strace -e open,stat -o output.xxx <executable> | 21:22 |
| Norrin | i see. like gentoo i guess | 21:23 |
| BUSTACAP | MasterOfDisaster, bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 21:23 |
| MasterOfDisaster | BUSTACAP: use lsusb and dmesg to find out what files in /dev your device uses, and check the file output.xxx if they match | 21:24 |

| Antonis | how do I get the right name and subdirectory to remove them with ppa-purge? | 21:59 |
| qubit[01] | can I call init functions without sudo ? | 22:00 |
| MasterOfDisaster | qubit[01]: elaborate... | 22:01 |
| L3top | Antonis: the easy way is just to sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; sudo apt-get update | 22:01 |
| Antonis | L3top, I was told (by people in this channel) that the "right" way is to use ppa-purge | 22:01 |
| qubit[01] | MasterOfDisaster: I have my own custom init script that uses authbind so that I can run node on port 80 without running as root, when try running it as user ubuntu ( amazon ec2 services ), I get start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call" | 22:01 |
| Antonis | it reverts everything back to how it was before | 22:02 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: if there are any packages installed from those ppa(s) they'll be stuck in limbo forever probably :( apt doesn't downgrade | 22:02 |
| Antonis | yeap | 22:02 |
| qubit[01] | MasterOfDisaster: actually my fault, one second | 22:02 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: ppa-purge is certainly the way to go (if anything is installed from there!) | 22:02 |
| L3top | Antonis: it uses only that in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:02 |
| zykotick9 | !ppa-purge | L3top | 22:03 |
| ubottu | L3top: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: that "revert your packages" is important | 22:03 |
| L3top | This is true zykotick9. This is always an acceptable solution for me because the only thing I ever install from ppa are specific video drivers. I should consider other cases. | 22:03 |
| L3top | And I never want them to go with the bathwater... so to speak. | 22:03 |
| Antonis | zykotick9, the problem is that I am not sure what the repository-name is and what the subdirectory is.. | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | L3top: i think ppas are typically a bad idea. but that's just over conservative me! | 22:04 |
| Antonis | private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_tiberiumalliances_ubuntu.list | 22:04 |
| zykotick9 | Antonis: i see your problem from your previous post/paste... sorry man, i've never actually had to use ppa-purge... | 22:04 |

I just ran disk management and have the following disk information - system (199 mb), c: (350 gb), unallocated (115.47 gb), hp tools (103 mb). What am I doing wrong??? | 22:09 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: fyi that's 4 primary partitions, and ubuntu will want to create 2 partitions by default / and swap - so there isn't room to do it (even though you have unallocated space) | 22:10 |
| Moogs | do i need to delete hp tools? | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: i "believe" OEMs are doing this on purpose - to disourage installing alternate OSes on there windows pre-loaded machines </OT> | 22:12 |
| Moogs | OEMs? | 22:12 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: compaq/hp/dell/etc. Original Equipment Manufacturers | 22:13 |
| Moogs | Oh okay. zybiski | 22:15 |
| Moogs | zykotick9: it told me to create a backup then i could do it? | 22:15 |
| Moogs | zykotick9: is this about normal? | 22:15 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: sorry - i can't / won't help you. i consider this a "windows" issue and thus very OT (for me). but you need to create an extended partition, so you can have 5+ partitions... but messing with your recovery/tools partitions from your computer is "messy" and i won't touch it with a 30 foot pole. best of luck man (sorry i just don't touch Microsoft ever) | 22:17 |
| Moogs | zykotick9: can we go back on topic, because i've already done what you didn't want to talk about. | 22:17 |
| Moogs | zykotick9: how do i create an extended partition? | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: so install into the extended partition - should be all good. | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | Moogs: i'd use fdisk (but that is only from personal knowledge of the program). gparted would probably be easiest. hopefully someone else could guide you if you need help | 22:19 |

| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| Phaba | reet, so deb url myversion whatgoeshere? | 23:03 |
| iceroot | Phaba: the repo name is the last | 23:03 |

| Baralabite_ | It's for emulation of another OS inside another | 23:35 |
| Moogs | so how do i get rid of 2 of them | 23:36 |
| Moogs | Jordan_U: how do i get rid of 2 of them | 23:36 |
| Baralabite_ | So, now comes to my question/problem... I've just installed my 3G modem via this tutorial: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1915915 | 23:36 |
| aquestioner | jrdnn... :( I don't want to use cpanel I want to have it like a normal desktop I can just install apache on... | 23:36 |
| Baralabite_ | The modem itself is working fine, but when the modem is connected, the ethernet/wireless doesn't work | 23:36 |
| Baralabite_ | I determind that it doesn't work via 'ping x.x.x.x' | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | Moogs: If you're absolutely certain which ones are the correct ones to delete, use GParted. But *make sure everything you care about is backed up*. | 23:37 |
| Baralabite_ | Visa versa, so when the ethernet is plugged in, the 3G doesn't work | 23:37 |
| Moogs | how do i use that? | 23:37 |
| Baralabite_ | Any clues why this is happening / how to fix it? | 23:37 |
| jrdnn | awolfson: I think you can get a whole desktop with http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ | 23:38 |
| Baralabite_ | I'm a complete beginner in this kind of thing, so you *may* have to use layman talk | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | Moogs: "gksu gparted" from a terminal. It's a fairly intuitive GUI application. | 23:38 |
| diverdude | Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? | 23:39 |
| Monotoko | after that support request, I can indeed confirm that marijuana and root access do not in any way mix | 23:40 |
| Moogs | Jordan_U: says gksu is not a command | 23:40 |
| Monotoko | Moogs, gksudo ? | 23:41 |
| Antonis | why do I get a message df: `/root/.gvfs': Permission denied when I try to execute df as a normal user? | 23:42 |
| Baralabite_ | Use 'sudo' | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | Moogs: Ask in #fedora. | 23:42 |
| Baralabite_ | so: | 23:42 |
| Baralabite_ | sudo 'command' | 23:42 |
| Antonis | Baralabite_, but why should I? | 23:42 |
| Baralabite_ | It executes the command as root and gives you access | 23:42 |
| Antonis | I mean, why is it nessecary to execute df as sudo? | 23:42 |
| Baralabite_ | I have no clue - I just know sudo fixes all my permission problems! | 23:43 |
| Baralabite_ | I'm a linux newbie :3 | 23:43 |
| beandog | heh | 23:43 |
| dcullen | Antonis, You shouldn't have to run df with sudo | 23:43 |
| Antonis | well I know sudo but is't not a solution to just execute something with sudo.. it might not end well | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | Baralabite_: You should *not* just tack sudo onto any command that gives you a permissions error. | 23:43 |
| Antonis | dcullen, I know but I get this annoying error | 23:43 |
| Baralabite_ | sudo rm -r -f /usr.... | 23:44 |
| dcullen | Antonis, Do you have a pastebin of the error? | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | !danger | 23:44 |
| ubottu | 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! | 23:44 |
| Antonis | dcullen, just the line I pasted here along with the results of course | 23:44 |
| Antonis | /root/.gvfs': Permission denied | 23:44 |
| dcullen | Antonis, I just joined, so I didn't see your paste | 23:44 |
| Antonis | dcullen, oh sorry | 23:45 |
| h00k | Baralabite_: Do not do that. | 23:45 |
| Baralabite_ | Thankgoodness I know better. | 23:45 |
| dcullen | Antonis, don't worry, I'll find the log | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | Baralabite_: Please don't post commands which could hose a person's system. | 23:45 |
| Antonis | I just pasted the line dcullen :P | 23:45 |
| Baralabite_ | Okay | 23:45 |
| dcullen | Antonis, can you use the http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste the output of mount? | 23:46 |
| piglit | what are normal speeds for ftpS ? i am using a gigabit network and without the S like normal ftp i get 100MB a seconds,it is between a E7400 and a 2180 both dual core intel machines | 23:46 |
| diverdude | Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? | 23:46 |
| dcullen | piglit, 1 Gbit/second = 125 MByte/second | 23:47 |
| piglit | diver: not that i know of if you have got a problem you can try an older driver | 23:47 |
| Antonis | dcullen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101051/ | 23:47 |
| jerimiah | Wow, yes, please do not run commands that people will blindly copy and paste that will hose their systems | 23:47 |
| Baralabite_ | Okay, okay | 23:47 |
| piglit | dcullen: with ftp i get like 100MB/sec but this is not ftp but it is ftp-S | 23:48 |
| Baralabite_ | Anyway, do you mind if I ask a question/pose a problem? | 23:48 |
| aquestioner | So can anyone help me set up a remote desktop/server that I can install ubuntu on? | 23:48 |
| === jerimiah is now known as lordacid | ||
| dcullen | Antonis, the last line is your problem: "gvfs-fuse-daemon on /root/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev)". For some reason root has mounted the fuse daemon | 23:48 |
| Baralabite_ | Would teamviewer work for remote desktop? | 23:48 |
| dcullen | piglit, what's ftp-S? Do you mean sftp? | 23:49 |
| piglit | sftp != ftps | 23:49 |
| Baralabite_ | @aquesestioner: Is this what you were after: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx? | 23:49 |
| Baralabite_ | * http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx | 23:49 |
| piglit | != means is not | 23:49 |
| compdoc | aquestioner, you using some server in the cloud? | 23:49 |
| dcullen | Antonis, Is root logged into X? | 23:49 |
| aquestioner | Baralabite_: I guess, but I don't know how to install ubuntu on a server in the cloud | 23:49 |
| Antonis | dcullen, what is the fuse daemon and why is that? | 23:49 |
| Antonis | dcullen, I did sudo su earlier but I exited the terminal | 23:49 |
| jrdnn | piglit: 5!=120 | 23:50 |
| aquestioner | compdoc: I don't know how to get one that will let me use teamviewer to get a remote desktop to work | 23:50 |
| dcullen | Antonis, fuse is the user mode file system, and the fuse daemon is the server that automatically mounts user mode file systems | 23:50 |
| compdoc | aquestioner, use vnc4server | 23:50 |
| Antonis | I see | 23:50 |
| === BlouBlou is now known as wtf | ||
| Baralabite_ | Would anyone have a clue why my 3g modem effects all my other network connections in Ubuntu 12.04? | 23:50 |
| dcullen | Antonis, sudo su? You can do "sudo bash" or you can do "su -" but I think "sudo su" may do something unexpected | 23:51 |
| aquestioner | compdoc: I don't need the program, I need a server :/ | 23:51 |
| Monotoko | sudo su is fine | 23:51 |
| Baralabite_ | aquestioner: I'm not sure about a server - I just convert normal Ubuntu 12.04 desktop into my server | 23:51 |
| Monotoko | anyway... 12.04, my borders just vanished from all my windows, how do I get them back? >.> | 23:51 |
| lordacid | i used sudo su all the time, its fine. | 23:51 |
| dcullen | piglit, fops is ftp with SSL? It will be slower than FTP | 23:51 |
| Rodrigo_BR | Ae pessoal | 23:52 |
| Rodrigo_BR | tudo bem | 23:52 |
| piglit | dcullen: yes i know it is slower i know why but i dont know how slow or fast it can be | 23:52 |
| dcullen | lordacid, Antonis, In this case, "sudo su" seems to have caused the fuse daemon to mount something as root | 23:52 |
| compdoc | aquestioner, that is a server. maybe I dont understand what youre trying to do | 23:53 |
| === kracker|zombie is now known as kracker[BDC] | ||
| Antonis | dcullen, I did mount an .iso file | 23:53 |
| Antonis | but as I said I exited | 23:53 |
| Rodrigo_BR | Alguem fala Poertugues | 23:53 |
| Antonis | and unmounted it | 23:53 |
| lordacid | weird | 23:53 |
| lordacid | mount -t iso 9660 ? | 23:53 |
| piglit | thing is i want to know if it is worth it to put more time in make-ing the ting faster | 23:53 |

| aquestioner | compdoc: I want to pay someone to host my physical server for me so that I can connect to it anywhere and use it like a desktop | 23:53 |
| dcullen | piglit, It will really depend on a lot of details, like your CPU and RAM and L2 cache and hard drive speed. | 23:53 |
| aquestioner | :/ | 23:53 |
| Monotoko | kinda like this: http://i.imgur.com/HciCC.png | 23:54 |
| aquestioner | compdoc: :/ | 23:54 |
| Monotoko | can anyone help? | 23:54 |
| Antonis | lordacid, mount -o loop isofile.iso /media/ISO | 23:54 |
| Monotoko | it happens a few times a day... drives me insane | 23:54 |
| dcullen | Antonis, the ISO mounted as root caused fuse to put that line in your mtab | 23:54 |
| Baralabite_ | Receio que este é um canal Inglês de língua Rudrigo-BE | 23:54 |
| piglit | <dcullen> that is why i am asking if someone did ever test those speeds hem self to get a better idea | 23:55 |
| dcullen | Antonis, if you exited without unmounting the ISO, it's still mounted | 23:55 |
| Antonis | dcullen, I see.. I exited su (closed terminal) but the iso was still mounted and I unmounted it through nautilus as normal user | 23:55 |
| diverdude | Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? | 23:55 |
| dcullen | piglit, Even if someone did a test, you might get much better results if you have an AES accelerator in your CPU (for example) | 23:55 |
| dcullen | Antonis, yeah, if you unmounted as a different user, the daemon never cleaned out the stuff you did as root | 23:56 |
| espen__ | Hey, is it normal that "dash home" takes time/feels like a "hickup" every single time? I am using a SSD, but it feels so sluggish. | 23:56 |
| Monotoko | nope? | 23:56 |
| L3top | I have an odd problem myself. I installed gnash because flash was borked, 1204, I purged both the flashplugin-installer and gnash... and when I install the flashplugin-installer, it downloads, it seems to run the dummy package with no issue... but does not install flash. http://pastebin.com/5XDgXpzC I only want to install flash to test throttling the processes grip on cpu... but still I have done everything I can think of... and.. | 23:56 |
| L3top | . it simply won't install. | 23:56 |
| Antonis | dcullen, so what should I do in this case? | 23:56 |
