[00:00] benassi, can't pick you up, too complicated for me, however, can you describe your prob? [00:01] well if I go to alesmixer [00:01] I see all my things ok [00:02] glitsj16, I went to that directory, here is a list libjpeg62:amd64 libjpeg62:amd64 libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 [00:02] libjpeg62:amd64 libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 [00:02] libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 [00:02] libjpeg8:amd64 libjpeg8-dev:amd64 libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 [00:02] libjpeg-turbo [00:02] libjpeg-dev libjpeg-turbo-progs [00:02] drroller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:02] but my microphone is always turned on and reciving signal.. so it is automaticly playing sound to my headphones... I can hear youtube.. so it comes like karaoke [00:02] if I try to record my mic is really bad [00:03] lspci checks on pci devices, lsusb for usb . wich one checks for the vga port? anyone helping? === Guest88597 is now known as exocaesar [00:03] drroller: now you know pastebin is the way to go for those kind of posts .. can you please pastebin that? [00:03] dreamy_: "lspci | grep -i vga" should work [00:03] whats a good app for web data scrapping? [00:03] ty [00:04] if I try to record my mic is really bad <--- that is when problem started.. I know how to fix this with auto playing but .. sound is still awful when recording nibblyn [00:04] 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] dreamy_: use "lspci -v | grep -i vga" if you have one of those hybrid-dual vga setups [00:04] on win7 worked like charm === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [00:05] glitsj16, http://pastebin.ca/2172350 [00:05] benassi, hae you checked the alsa website/mailing lists [00:05] Hi guys. How do I extend my desktop with a TV over HDMI? I get a mirrored screen now, and can't seem to find the settings.. [00:05] drroller: k, taking a look [00:05] benassi, which chipset do you have? [00:05] laserlion: what video card? [00:06] nibblyn, Card: HDA Intel F1: Help │ [00:06] │ Chip: Realtek ALC888 [00:06] I'm playing with the Color app in ubuntu precise i would like to calibrate my webcam but when it comes to install targets step [00:06] it faceplants. [00:06] Intel/ATI HD5650 (if I remember correctly) set to descrete only in BIOS. [00:07] Could not find requested package [00:07] gcm-calibrate requests to install the following software package to provide additional features: shared-color-targets [00:07] what are those things called that you put on the startup screen on ubuntu? [00:07] I totally forgot [00:07] !info shared-color-targets [00:07] sorry about the multiline just didnt seem worthy of a paste [00:07] Package shared-color-targets does not exist in precise [00:08] laserlion: "lspci -v | grep -i vga" might give the specifics (which might help the channel) ati=i don't help [00:08] !info gcm-calibrate [00:08] Package gcm-calibrate does not exist in precise [00:08] drroller: try 'sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libjpeg-turbo $HOME/Desktop' to take that out of the package manager's memory so to speak and try installing libjpeg-turbo8-dev again [00:08] laserlion, ati has its own special 'control center' when using the fglrx drivers to tweak those settings. I forget its name. [00:09] what are those things called that you put on the startup screen on ubuntu? [00:09] benassi, hum, belive me I know how complicated things can be with sound :) for recording which software do you use? [00:09] zykotick9, are you good with LCD related issues? [00:09] nibblyn, sound recorder from ubuntu itself [00:09] dreamy_: what's the issue? [00:09] what are those things called that you put on the startup screen on ubuntu? [00:10] zykotick9, thanks. Dr_willis : Do you mean a program like Catalyst on windows? [00:10] 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] ? [00:11] zykotick9, sorry im not shure if my question was clear [00:11] dreamy_: very doubtful! i've never heard of an LCD driver in gnu/linux. settings yes, drivers, never... [00:11] laserlion, yep [00:11] anyone know? === GuestUser231414 is now known as SlickOne [00:11] Dr_willis, Ah, dash found it. Thanks! [00:11] jen: What ? [00:11] jen, things? [00:12] Dr_willis, can't you change the login screen picture? I forget what its called like backsplash or something...splashscreen? [00:12] 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. [00:13] 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] 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] Wallpaper is not a slpash screen.. its a wallpaper. ;) [00:13] Dr_willis, I do not have 12.04 [00:13] jen, lack of details is details lacking.. [00:13] ;) [00:14] nibblyn, Enable realtime process priority? yer or no ? [00:14] zykotick9, video driver could be the 3d card driver? [00:14] dreamy_: yes they're the same thing [00:14] Dr_willis, Im sure this is 11.04 ocelot, if that is what you are wondering [00:14] /usr/share/backgrounds or /usr/share/wallpapers I think has the default login screen wallpaper image in it somewhere. [00:14] Theres some GDM tweak tools that let you change the wallpaper also. [00:15] Is it possible to make nautilus sort alphabetical instead of by order added? [00:15] benassi, are you dpkg reconfiguring? (btw, it is usually not! necessary, but you can try both) [00:15] Dr_willis, im curious what the aplication color is doing installed by default if its not supported. [00:16] 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] zykotick9, thats why i thinkg i got a prob with the On screeen display setttings [00:16] Dr_willis, so I put something in that folder and it will be set as my login screen? [00:16] dreamy_: what video card? "lspci | grep -i vga" [00:16] jen, the wallpaper image that the login manager uses is in one of those directories.. [00:16] i know it [00:17] glitsj16, thank you, that seems to have solved it :) [00:17] jen, you could edit it.. or edit the login manager configs. [00:17] gah forget it x-x [00:17] drroller: one less thing :) you're welcome === dj_ryan_ is now known as dj_ryan [00:17] its a radeon m6 ly or a radeon 7000. , i like old hardware [00:17] jen, its just a image you replace with some other one using the same name.... [00:17] zykotick9 [00:17] Anyone know how to St up the iso to flash drive -- using a MacBook? [00:17] dreamy_: good luck. i can't/won't help you. [00:18] tripelb, you mean using OS-X ? [00:18] zykotick9, ty for your time [00:18] drroller: and thanks for the confidence lol, if there was a competion for the slowest support thread, i'm sure i'd qualify [00:18] benassi, as a general advice, when I mess with audio settings (like alsa - jack) i have to reboot, so if you reconfigure restart the daemon (or reboot) [00:18] is there a way to have libSDL_sound1.2:i386 not conflict with libSDL_sound1.2 when trying to install? [00:19] Is there a way to use a network printer in ubuntu server? [00:19] I need to see what processes are taking up CPU time in real time. Is there something other than task manager that can do this for me? [00:19] glitsj16, hey, you are the one that spoke up, that you get the virtual beer ;) [00:19] ps aux [00:19] DanielHoffman, configure it using the cups config tools. the cups web interface is very handy [00:19] rinzler: top [00:19] rinzler-dos: top or the much cooler htop [00:19] drroller: cheers heh [00:19] that displays tasks mem and cpu [00:19] rinzler-dos, htop [00:20] How do you block your ip address in xchat ? [00:20] !cloak | GuestUser02130 [00:20] GuestUser02130: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. [00:20] jen> http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ ubuntu tweak has a function to change your login wallpaper [00:20] Dr_willis, http://imagebin.org/221326 [00:20] Is there a way to easily use a network printer in ubuntu server? [00:20] is there a way to complete the work the ubuntu team didn't here? [00:21] Dr_willis: thanks [00:21] ghostchick: thanks [00:21] DanielHoffman, use the cups web interface to add/configure your printer.. [00:21] rinzler-dos, you are welcome [00:21] i mean is ther a way to do it in ubuntu server, no web interface [00:22] but i can use it to connect the printer === GuestUser02130 is now known as Quantum_Ion [00:22] So... how do I get my microphone to work? [00:23] cups.org has documention on its cli tools.. but you can use the web interface from a differnt pc on the lan to connect TO the servers cups interface/settings.. OR on the server you can use a text based browser i recall. [00:23] nibblyn, just restarted.. nothing happen [00:23] do you know what port? [00:24] cups homepage/docs show cups uses port 631 I belive. [00:24] or was that swat... [00:24] DanielHoffman, Dr_willis 631 [00:24] anyone have any suggestions about the lack of package here "gcm-calibrate requests to install the following software package to provide additional features: shared-color-targets" Screenshot http://imagebin.org/221326 [00:25] it doesnt show on my windows PC [00:25] DanielHoffman, it may be configured to listen only on localhost [00:25] Anyone encounters the blank screen after resume for thinkpad with hd graphic 3000 laptop? [00:25] Opps, Google Chrome Cannot Find 192.168.1.121:631 [00:25] you use the ip of the server not localhst. :) and yes i do belive the default cups config is to allow only localhost connections to confoigrue it. [00:25] the IP being the servers [00:26] * zykotick9 is disapointed everythimg he visits localhost:631 and sees the copyright Apple Inc. [00:26] is there a way to have libSDL_sound1.2:i386 not conflict with libSDL_sound1.2 when trying to install? [00:26] i changed it from localhost to 192.168.1.1 [00:27] the cups config file in /etc/ allows by default ONLY connections from 'localhost' I belive.. it needs to be edited to allow other ips access [00:27] sakuramboo: are you using apt-get or aptitude when you get this error? is the libSDL_sound1.2 and amd64 package? [00:27] s/and/an/ [00:27] and 192.168.1.1 - sounds like a routers/gateways ip# to me. :) [00:27] sakuramboo, did you use aptitude? [00:27] zykotick9: isn't that what adblock is for? ;) [00:28] zykotick9: apt-get and synaptic [00:28] it is [00:28] Hey guys, gonna try to get help again... I'm running 12.04 have a built in microphone on a Toshiba Satellite and my microphone won't work~~~Here are screen captures that might help: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/7600479820/in/photostream and http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/7600186980/in/photostream/lightbox/ [00:28] sakuramboo: ok, and are you running amd64 (the other part of my question)? [00:28] zykotick9: and yes, in running 64bit trying to install the 32bit libaries and that one conflicts [00:28] benassi, did you try a dpkg reconfigure? [00:28] zykotick9: seems that its the only library in libSDL that conflicts [00:29] Any help would be greatly appreciated! [00:29] sakuramboo: ya i figured, sorry i should have opened my mouth - i don't know how multiarch works nearly well enough, i've installed the old 1.2 libSDL for games a lot, and used getlibs... that no longer applies for you. best of luck man. [00:29] nibblyn, no I didn't.. how to? [00:30] s/should/shouldn't/ sakuramboo [00:30] zykotick9: wouldnt getlibs still work? [00:30] sakuramboo: it might - but that's really bad/untested/dangerous advice! === bryan is now known as Guest97095 [00:31] benassi, you seem to be experienced in the things... *.* [00:31] sakuramboo: i wouldn't... [00:31] :( [00:32] merp_ keep trying every hour or so, someone will have an answer for you eventually [00:32] so, how can i install libSDL_sound1.2:i386 without it having a hissy fit? [00:32] merp_, why... I just installed linux few day ago.. and lots of stuff.. and everything work properly.. except this .. and I screwd up Aptana xD [00:32] :'( [00:32] hello....anyone familiar with ancient laptops?....i have compaq presario 1615...wondering if i can run a version of ubuntu on it..:) [00:32] benassi, in terminal: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload, ... , sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base, ... alsamixer [00:32] anyone have any suggestions about the lack of package here "gcm-calibrate requests to install the following software package to provide additional features: shared-color-targets" Screenshot http://imagebin.org/221326 === kubuntu is now known as Guest11901 [00:33] highlight me with any responses please. [00:34] Trying to set up my laptop with a 1080p TV as an extended desktop. I have an ATI card and I can achieve mirrored screens and TV-only using Catalyst, but not extended desktop. Anyone got any ideas? :) [00:34] Guest97095, details about its actual specs would tell us more. [00:34] well I'm back and I got the SSD firmware upgraded to 2.22 (current) I'm currently booted into my live usb of kubntu 12.04 ready to set the trim but when I do 'cat /etc/fstab' I don't get the same output as the guide I'm following :( anyone familiar with how to do this I would sure appreciate the help. Every time I install and reboot I seem to lose the OS. [00:36] it has 80mb ram,150 mhz processor and 1.5g hdd [00:36] Guest11901, perhaps some of these may give better info -> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=ssd+trim+fstab Im not sure what you rare confiused aboyut [00:36] Guest11901, fstab files can very greatly bteween systems. ;) [00:36] nibblyn, I did it .. what now? [00:37] should i ask again [00:37] Guest97095 I think you would be better off with something like Puppy Linux for that kinda spec [00:37] i dont wanna spam [00:37] but still [00:37] ok what part of the installation do I edit the trim? shouldn't installing using the entire disk (no swap) work? [00:37] nibblyn, still doesn't work [00:37] Hey guys, gonna try to get help again... I'm running 12.04 have a built in microphone on a Toshiba Satellite and my microphone won't work~~~Here are screen captures that might help: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/7600479820/in/photostream and http://www.flickr.com/photos/82952014@N03/7600186980/in/photostream/lightbox/ [00:37] currently has win95,but graphics are awful [00:37] benassi, you can try also: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils , sudo dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio [00:38] thank you,is puupy linux similar to ubuntu? [00:38] Guest11901, i thought trim was just an option you used in fstab for the mount points.. so Im not sure what you are asking. [00:38] I was trying to follow http://tinyurl.com/6vxfkcw [00:39] Guest97095, it has its own support channel. and is radically differnt. [00:39] me either :( I'm in over my head lol. but I've wanted to throw an SSD in this laptop since I got it just to run linux on it so this is my project :) [00:39] ok let me check your link and see what I come up with [00:39] this is topher82 btw [00:39] Answer me someonnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [00:40] thank you for all the help the last 2 days :) [00:40] Guest97095 not really. It has a graphical UI out the box like Ubuntu, but thats where the similarities end === Caspercom|Off is now known as Caspercom [00:40] ok...thank you,i'm no programmer,so was after something familiar if possible [00:40] Guest11901, from askubuntu.com - recent releases you just use a extra option in fstab to enable the trim support. http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim [00:40] benassi, try again ...sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload... and then open alsamixer === merp_ is now known as noonelieksme [00:41] Guest97095, puppy is really 'differnt' in some radical ways. :) so even if the gui looked the same.. stuff underneeth can be very.. well. Ill be nice and say 'unique' [00:41] there seems to be proprietary software required from compaq....can i run without it? [00:41] hey guys, can someone help me? My system has 2 dvd drives installed but ubuntu only sees 1 [00:42] 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] is there a way to have libSDL_sound1.2:i386 not conflict with libSDL_sound1.2 when trying to install? [00:42] neldogz, see if you have a /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 [00:42] ok,thank you guys..:) [00:43] Dr_willis: yes those two do exist [00:43] it's mainly for the kids to play with,but it's not very slick at all with no prop software and win 98 [00:44] 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] does puppy have a gui? [00:44] 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 [00:45] Guest97095, Puppylinux has 100+ variantions and its own support channel and homepage. [00:45] nibblyn, still doesn't work [00:45] :( [00:45] Guest97095: And yes, it has a GUI [00:45] ok...how do i find the puppy channel? [00:45] thank you Dr_willis, that worked within handbrake. Would you be able to point me in the right direction as to why it wouldnt auto mount in nautilus? [00:46] you find the channel with google [00:46] neldogz, most of my machines dont even have optical drives any more. :) So no idea [00:46] Guest97095: This is the #ubuntu channel. We entertain ubuntu related questions. [00:46] benassi, explain, what doesn't work? do you hear sound? can you record? [00:46] ok,thank you all!..:) [00:47] thank you for your help i really appreciate it! [00:47] I can record [00:48] nibblyn, I can record.. but sound is awful [00:49] is tehre a way to easily use a network printer in ubuntu server without a GUI. like a print command or a software package not includeing Samba or CUPS? i am NOT looking for a print server but printing off messages. [00:49] benassi: You just have to tinker with your sound settings and the apps you are usnig to manipulate them. You might be interested in sox sudo apt-get install sox #If you don't already have it.... [00:50] haha thank you Dr_willis the exactlink I was reading :) [00:50] I am trying to install tilem emulator on 12.04, using the sudo make install command within the tilem directory, but am receiving the error "no rule to make target install. stop."

[00:51] 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.

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 [00:53] benassi, I see. So you have a good playback if you turn off mic in alsa? Did you try to experiment with alsamixer (run in terminal)? [00:53] I have good playback.. only If I direct my mic to speakers === djduty-zzz is now known as djdduty [00:54] so automaticly it give good sound [00:54] is there a way to have libSDL_sound1.2:i386 not conflict with libSDL_sound1.2 when trying to install?

[00:56] benassi, but if you unplug (mute) your mic do you hear something??

[00:58] hey I need help on Vmware workstation v8.0.3 [00:58] usr13, sry Idk what happend [00:58] benassi: Sorry, was un-available at the time. [00:59] DanielHoffman: vim /etc/cups/cups.conf [00:59] /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Typo [00:59] usr13: turns out it is configured (didnt know if i did it right) and how would i access it to print a file? [01:00] DanielHoffman: lpr [01:00] usr13: "vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf" A) saves a letter of typing C) is much cooler D) opens the exact same thing ;) [01:00] DanielHoffman: and then Ctrl-d to end [01:01] DanielHoffman: lpq will show the default printer [01:01] zykotick9 : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1099292/ [01:01] no default destination avalible [01:02] SecretFire: are you running "./configure" then "make" (or following whatever the supplied README says to do to install)?

[01:03] zykotick9: yes, whats strange is that i have compiled this before successfully [01:03] usr13: what syntax are the commands? [01:03] SecretFire: sorry man - i gots nothin'. good luck. (are you sure this isn't packaged by someone in a PPA or something?) [01:04] pretty sure, gonna keep trying [01:05] benassi, so if you unplug the mic you can play and hear an audio file just fine. The problem rise up when recording. You can record but you will obtain bad sound. Correct? [01:05] Chamunks: looks like a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-color-manager/+bug/643168 .. the OP mentions it can be retrieved from a lucid PPA, but it might be at https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/gcm-release [01:05] Launchpad bug 643168 in gnome-color-manager (Ubuntu) "gcm-prefs tries to install nonexistent shared-color-targets" [Undecided,Confirmed] [01:06] nibblyn, Yes.. and I can hear while mic is plugged in normal.. The recorded sound is awful [01:06] what do you linuxers do for fun in ubuntu? [01:06] Alucard_, learn :D [01:06] thanks alot glitsj16 i hope i wasnt too spammy with my fishing for a response. [01:07] benassi learn what [01:07] Chamunks: no problem, at least not in my opinion [01:07] c++,php ... linux :D [01:07] dracula, #ubuntu-offtopic is for fun... this is just for support [01:07] oooh [01:08] Chamunks: i don't see a precise package in that PPA, so try to look at the oneiric version [01:09] Alucard_, you are new user? [01:09] noope, I've actually tried and used Ubuntu like, 5 years ago. Had it for a good solid few months. But got rid of it and never looked back. [01:11] Anyone know about external hdd failure?

I do not have my system running now that has virtualbox installed so, I'm not sure what is supposed to be there, just don't know why it is sharing all of /tmp [01:37] scarrs: not on the same port [01:37] AverageJB: And from where are you trying to ssh? From the host? From another PC on the network? [01:38] usr13: host [01:38] AverageJB: Can you ping the IP you are trying to ssh to? Are you sure you are .... Oh from the host? Why?

Would just have to see how the guest is accessing it. Sorry, I'm not a real good authority on VirtualBox. It is interesting, just not realy up on it. [01:40] AverageJB: sftp is not ssh so..... [01:40] DrPantsW: run 'apt-cache policy snort' from terminal should tell you if you have it installed, i don't think it is by default [01:40] usr13: the virtual machine responds to a ping [01:40] AverageJB: And do you know that sshd is installed? [01:40] ahh okay [01:40] so i need sshd [01:41] ah, I see it, i think I installed this then [01:41] I assumed that would come with ubuntu server lol [01:42] AverageJB: sudo apt-get install openssh-server #On the host OS.

[01:49] i've installed an equalizer (gonna check if it's the that one) last week i think, but the problem showed up today, glitsj16 [01:50] LuiX: I see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308838&page=4 but it's kinda old... [01:50] moes: Maybe here will help: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/ [01:50] moes: it can [01:50] can anyone please tell me how can i remove the chinese entry i get listed in my region and local settings? [01:50] LuiX: My solution to pulseaudio problems is just to uninstall pulseaudio [01:50] histo thanks [01:51] usr13: pulseaudio works just fine, needs configuration though (like most things) :) [01:52] LuiX: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110348/how-can-i-enable-the-pulseaudio-equalizer [01:52] glitsj16: Yea, works fine... Right.... Ok. [01:52] LuiX: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/ [01:53] LuiX: sudo apt-get install sox [01:53] thanks glitsj16 and usr13. it's confirmed it's the pulseaudio ecualizer [01:54] usr13, "sox is already the newest version" [01:54] LuiX: Good.... [01:55] so glitsj16 you're voting on reinstalling the equalizer? [01:55] LuiX: Good way to test is to use play. e.g. play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* [01:55] ... and watch for errors. [01:56] LuiX: i hardly vote on anything, only confirming that for me the pulseaudio-equalizer works just fine [01:56] usr13, play "played" the files without errors, but no sound is heard [01:57] LuiX: YOu might also consider upgrading alsa drivers See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules [01:57] glitsj16, i'll do that :) [01:57] 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] 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] i have tried several different sets of headphones and they all work on another machine. [01:58] LuiX: run alsamixer [01:58] has anyone encountered this before? [01:58] in nautilus and other apps the scrool bar is to thin, how can i change it so that i can have a scrooll bar like appears in firefox??? [01:59] I love the scrollbar [01:59] wish Chrome had it [01:59] din: Not me, but ... may be an issue with pulseaudio ... [01:59] usr13, i have uninstalled an reinstalled it. any suggestions? [02:00] din: Uninstalling and reinstalling an application rarely fixes anything. [02:00] it's really weird usr13, ran alsamixer, all on 100% [02:00] usr13, well i purged it so all the configs were gone. [02:00] then i removed ~/.pulse [02:00] and reinstalled [02:00] also funny usr13, is that i even hear the little clicks that makes when i shift the volume [02:00] 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] din: Your system is fully updated right? [02:01] how does one uninstall something via terminal? [02:01] usr13, i do believe so. let me verify. [02:01] din: You might also consider updating alsa modules [02:01] din: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules [02:01] Katelyn: sudo apt-get purge [02:01] the big question here is what triggered this, glitsj16 !? it happened from one second to another! big mistery.. [02:02] Katelyn: sudo apt-get remove [02:02] how do I run a program from the command line and still keep the prompt (make the program run in the background) [02:02] usr13, affirmative on the being fully updated. [02:02] DrPantsW: package-name & [02:02] LuiX: from the 3 lines in your pastebin that's hard to tell [02:02] usr13: thank you [02:02] NP [02:02] din: You might also consider updating alsa modules [02:03] usr13, doing that now. [02:03] i know glitsj16, the answer i was expecting was "sometimes its a side effect of a recent update" or sthg [02:04] din: I would just unstall pulseaudio That would prolly fix it. [02:04] usr13, i will try again, but it did not seem to help before. [02:04] LuiX: it might have been, but that goes for just about anything [02:04] din: Uninstall it and reboot, (leave it uninstalled). [02:05] usr13, rebooting now.

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [02:26] blackshirt : the output doesn't really show the directory location, i need to be able to cd into it to move files [02:26] secretfire, no..just dpkg -L packagename [02:27] gotcha [02:27] secretfire, that for list installed file from package [02:27] anyone know a good color target to get that would be free?

[02:29] Arsin: yes. === AndyKing is now known as xyz [02:30] For some reason it's at 100% load all the time [02:30] Arsin: Agreed with the find more ram thing. [02:30] Oh wait now it's normal [02:30] Arsin: what is at 100%? [02:30] 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] CPU was at 100 [02:30] it doesn't work [02:30] Arsin: loading it probably will be. [02:31] arsin, use more low resource like lubuntu [02:31] glitsj16, i guess technically i could just not care too much it just would be nice to use this tool. [02:31] Nogal: what doesn't work? [02:31] the script [02:32] Chamunks: i agree, just don't have a grip on the ins and outs of gnome-color-manager i'm afraid [02:32] blackshirt: Is that the lightest of the Ubuntu line? [02:32] oh wow I got thrown into the wrong channel here, sorry! [02:32] arsin, no... you can build your desktop from core system [02:33] Arsin: no. mini + virtually any windows manager (*box, awesome, etc) are lighter still [02:33] 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] Right. [02:33] 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] I was just told "My computer is slow and all I do is browse. Make it faster!" === root is now known as Guest64978 [02:34] So I figured xubuntu would do the trick [02:34] 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] lubuntu would be better suited... but so would 10bucks in archaic ram Arsin. [02:34] Arsin: xubuntu (aka xfce4) is similar in resource usage to the old gnome2 (slightly less, but only slightly) [02:35] 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] Arsin: lubuntu is a lot lighter then xubuntu, but you have to make some visual sacrifices [02:35] now the other part is the indicator [02:35] Chamunks: same here .. but i'm very old-skool black/white photography hobbyist so i can live without it [02:35] THis PC is built by dell, and there are no thumb screws, instead they put rivets [02:36] and I don't care enough to open it for them and put the ram I have for it [02:36] but I will take a look at lubuntu [02:36] Thanks [02:36] LuiX: thanks for the info, appreciated [02:36] glitsj16, yeh that's always nice. [02:36] 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. [02:37] the other part is that the volume indicator plus hardware controls are gone glitsj16 [02:37] L3top: +1 [02:37] Chamunks: before we enter the off-topic territory lol, i'm not only old-skool, jus plain .. old :p [02:37] :P [02:37] gonna try to reinstall indicator-sound [02:38] LuiX: might help yes === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:40] would there be a clean and tidy way to make sure that if i install gnome-shell that I can go back to unity cleanly without having issues?

[02:51] 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. [02:52] usr13, glitsj16 solved. deleted .pulse folder and rebooted. [02:53] aand i was just trying to watch inception (again) sometimes it's hard to keep the faith in ubuntu :( [02:54] LuiX: nice (your succes with pulseaudio and inception both) .. when things go wrong that's quite reasonable yes [02:55] bz,effing me [02:55] ghostchick_: :o [02:55] azzizza, yes, you should [02:55] LuiX: i asked whether you wanted to pastebin your ~/.pulse/default.pa but you were already gone i believe [02:55] LuiX: so audio-wise all back to normal?

If so, you really should just re-install Ubuntu. [03:12] SecretFire: you could boot to single user mode and fix it [03:12] chown -R root /etc [03:13] would probably fix it [03:13] Wug : Ill try that [03:13] other than that, don't do stupid things like try to own the root directory [03:13] its not called the SecretFire directory [03:13] no [03:15] how exactly would one go about changing the name of the root account [03:15] Chamunks: What? [03:16] the caveat being of course that it won't let you do that while it's in use [03:16] and its hard to rename accounts when youre not root [03:16] Wug: SecretFire: No, that's not enough.

[03:21] does any hot guy here wants a blowjob from a hot young boy? [03:21] if youre in SU mode you should need to sudo [03:21] usr13, apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-themes-standard nome-backgrounds gnome-icon-theme gnome-tweak-tool [03:21] Jordan_U: that being said, the only thing there thats supposed to be owned by users are their own home folders [03:21] Wug: Yes.

[03:23] youre confusing me [03:23] Chamunks: So did you do it? If so, configure it to your liking [03:23] are you talking about the computer you're using? or is a different one [03:23] yes its the one I am using [03:24] borrow/steal/acquire another [03:24] then connect from that [03:24] you will need to restart the computer [03:24] Chamunks: Actually, to me, it's easier to just do: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [03:24] you will need to restart the *affected* computer [03:25] i think im just going to switch to kubuntu [03:25] uhh ok [03:25] dont try to own root there either [03:25] i realize that now [03:26] for some reason everything was locked in my file system [03:26] for the record, kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde instead of gonme [03:26] gnome* [03:26] thought doing sudo chown -R psyclone / would fix it [03:26] I know that kubuntu is just ubuntu with a diff. design basically [03:26] in general, all recursive operations on / are a bad idea [03:26] Chamunks: http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/CustomizeUbuntu [03:27] Hello.

[03:28] SecretFire: You are correct, it is a BAD IDEA. [03:28] RandomGuy123: did you try restarting [03:28] Yes. [03:29] how odd [03:29] True story. [03:29] fortunately, i have an install disc for kubuntu 12.04 handy [03:29] SecretFire: Ok, just wanted to make that clear.... [03:29] So what to do?

[03:30] BTW, Fire the Gnome and kde are diffrenet enviroment work aroud thing. [03:30] Around* [03:31] Chamunks: Or xubuntu ??? [03:31] Gnome is more lightwhight. [03:31] usr13, i've got quite a bit of power under my hood so i've been using more gdm stuff than the light desktop managers [03:31] i am on xubuntu right now, i prefer it [03:31] RandomGuy123: Than ________? [03:31] Just saying... [03:31] I talked to fire. [03:31] About my mouse. [03:32] What to do? [03:32] BTW, I tried Xubuntu. [03:32] Chamunks: I'm just not talking light, I'm talking efficient and user friendly and effective. thunar is an awsome file manager. Ask in #xfce [03:32] Hi compiz frequently crashes in ubuntu 12.04. Help!. [03:32] xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce rioght [03:32] Thunar is fine. [03:32] yeah derp [03:32] Yes.

[03:53] L3top: I'm back [03:53] I looked into the issue [03:53] It's a hardware problem [03:53] :/ [03:54] I'm going to build an external cooler dock with two fans to pull/push air through the case [03:54] would that work? [03:54] For the issue of fans ceasing to arise after software which controls the fans fails... me thinks it's not hardware. [03:54] TheWhiteHatter: What is overheating? The HDD? [03:55] I might have just not noticed before installing fancontrol [03:55] so the processor is overheating? [03:55] Why would you install fan control... the question is then begged... [03:55] One of my fans doesnt work [03:55] it always run's hot [03:55] TheWhiteHatter: One of your fans? [03:55] yes [03:55] the one that pushes air out [03:55] TheWhiteHatter: Is it your processor that is overheating? [03:55] the one that pulls air in still works [03:56] it's running hot, but not overheating [03:56] TheWhiteHatter: Is the fan on the CPU's heat sink working? [03:56] it;s at 45 right now, but I have it sitting on an icepack [03:56] usr13: nothing is overheating atm. He installed fan control, and noticed his main fan on laptop was non functional. [03:56] normally runs 75ish [03:56] O [03:57] * L3top has been trying to get what appears to be a dead fan alive through power management... lol [03:57] L3top: Your logic is correct... [03:57] Why not just uninstall fan control? [03:57] meh, at least I know the problem now [03:58] tried that [03:58] Oh? [03:58] L3top spent about an hour with me walking through multiple solutions [03:58] Oh, sorry.... [03:58] I probably don't have much to contribute. Sorry. [03:58] It's fine [03:59] windows 95b , use it [03:59] I probably didn't notice the fan because this laptop has been a file server for the past ~6 months [03:59] aaahhhh [03:59] Switched to the latest ubuntu distro to have something to program on [03:59] I C [04:00] TheWhiteHatter: one more thing please... cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode [04:00] sure [04:00] No such file or directory [04:00] hola, am getting a GPG error, if anybody can help [04:00] GPF not GPG [04:00] ls /sys/devices/virtual/thermal [04:01] L3top: or pastebinit /sys/devices/virtual/thermal [04:01] W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [04:01] dylan@Dylan-Ubuntu:~$ ls /sys/devices/virtual/thermal [04:01] cooling_device0 cooling_device1 cooling_device2 [04:02] Hetep: Looks like you have an invalid signature.

[06:48] Jester86: ah you ssh with a remote machine, in the machine you did not login and connected wifi [06:48] ubottu, hello [06:49] yes lotuspsychje .. which is why that machine must connect to the wireless prior to the user logging in [06:49] lotuspsychje, are you not familiar with ssh? it is extremely handy [06:49] AGracefulCluts: nethack not in official repos anymore mate, you can try installing them all [06:50] Jester86:yes lol i know ssh, your prob all makes sense now...maybe next time you could describe what you really want [06:51] lotuspsychje, i described exactly what i wanted.... are you sure you read it?

[08:01] nibblyn, does not work and doesn't allow X11 to be used. [08:02] I've tried adding irqpoll option to boot, but nothing :( [08:02] auronandace: how can stop auto mount ? [08:03] rabbi1: check the settings for removable media [08:04] so, here is a puzzle. I tried to --force install a graphic driver and now unity wont load. Ive got the terminal up, but window commands like alt tab wont work. [08:04] I want to keep file with leading ., but if I use "rm -r *", all files are removed. [08:05] How to protect these files or directories from rm [08:06] aetoxx, sudo -u root play my.mp3 works well. If you need X11 then it is another story ;) [08:07] !warning | jimmy_lo_chien_f: please dont type that here [08:07] 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] nibblyn, you are sudoing to root... [08:07] nibblyn, try it as some less privileged user. [08:08] 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] L3top, uhm, please. [08:08] What are you trying to do exactly, without typing that command again? We are all familiar with it... [08:08] you could also just use nautilus and dont show hidden files [08:08] please what aetoxx? [08:08] L3top, his question is perfectly understandable. [08:08] Oh === Adrien_ is now known as Guest53016 [08:08] !rm [08:08] 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 [08:09] L3top, please don't be so incredibly stupid. [08:09] so is the factoid aetoxx. [08:09] jimmy_lo_chien_f, man find [08:09] jimmy_lo_chien_f, you want to use find, some regular expression and perhaps xargs. [08:09] wow [08:10] jimmy_lo_chien_f, try rm [^.], but be careful [08:10] aetoxx, I try man find first [08:10] aetoxx, don't have any other user here, sorry. but i see no reason why this should not work. [08:11] 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] wow, rm seems very really dangerous [08:11] 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. [08:12] nibblyn, yeah, too bad that you not seeing any reason is something the computer doesn't care about. === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [08:13] somebody can help me with irqpoll, please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1099639/ [08:13] Can a chan op msg me? [08:15] aetoxx, what about file permissions? if you sudo -u anotheruser, can that user access the file? :) [08:15] nibblyn, I see that the file is being played. There is just no audible sound. [08:16] nibblyn, and if I login as that user in a completely new session, it does work for that user. [08:16] nibblyn, it is as if there is some logic that only one user can use audio at any time, [08:16] hello! [08:18] aetoxx, not audio itself, merely the file permissions. check the audio file with ls -la, give it a try [08:18] nibblyn, you are not listening to what I say. [08:19] nibblyn, I said that I can see that the file is being played. [08:19] nibblyn, how the hell do you come with the suggestion that the permissions are wrong? [08:19] nibblyn, If you have nothing intelligent to say, just don't say anything at all. [08:19] 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? [08:20] L3top, alsamixer isn't a user [08:20] correct. insert your user. [08:20] aetoxx, because you can open an X11 app that could not read a datastream. [08:20] L3top, I am using gksudo, because I want to run an X program with sound as another user. [08:20] Llevo este nick pero podría llamarme directamente anti-imbéciles [08:21] You will be root running gksudo will you not? [08:21] nibblyn, no [08:21] L3top, no === zulius is now known as zeng [08:23] !gksudo [08:23] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[08:43] lodder: i concur with cfhowlett [08:43] hmmm not easy sounds interesting [08:43] lodder: never done remote install, so I can't advise [08:44] lodder: If it sounds interesting, go for it.

Dont need to open it as root... which is what you are doing with gksudo. [08:46] L3top, gksudo doesn't do anything as root with the -u option.

Should I do a new fresh install of 12.04 lts or is it ok to use the upgraded 11.10 to 12.04 lts ? [09:34] Plee: It is fully ok. [09:34] dixon_: yes === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [09:34] dixon_, it was that easy when I did it : [09:34] :D [09:34] bekks, Thanks ;D [09:35] subb1: See how Ubuntu's squid package does it. If you install software from outside the repositories, you're on your own. [09:35] Plee: Muelli: what about programs I already have installed on my laptop, like Netbeans? [09:35] Plee: Muelli: will those still work? [09:35] dixon_: very likely. [09:35] hello [09:36] dixon_, those are loaded from .desktop files, so it should work wthout a problem [09:36] geirha: I downloaded package from squid.org [09:36] Plee: They arent loaded from .desktop files at all. [09:36] Hi, using ubuntu 12.04 - 32 bit on an amd 64 - had a compiz crash and was told to work this though the support channels first before reporting (have rebooted everything was going bonkers, now it's fine). What should I do? [09:37] subb1: Yes, I assumed as much [09:37] bekks, ok :D My bad :) [09:37] bekks: are you saying that programs previously installed in a Unity environment won't run when I install GNOME then? [09:37] Plee: dixon_: Your installed apps are started by .desktop files, but are loaded from your harddisk - from the same place you've installed them to. They should work, even after upgrading. [09:37] bekks: ok [09:37] dixon_: When did I say a single word about unity? [09:38] bekks: never, just reflected on the previous conversation there was :) [09:38] subb1: The ubuntu package from the repository will set up permissions and ownership and all that for you. If you install it manually like you did, you have to set up that stuff yourself [09:38] bekks: Plee: Muelli: thanks guys, will take a tripple backup of my laptop, then try installing GNOME [09:39] bekks, Ah. Thanks :D Good to learn something new :D [09:39] subb1: But #squid might be able to help you with what you need, or as I said earlier, look at how Ubuntu's package does it. [09:39] geirha: thanks for yourresponse. [09:39] dixon_: A single backup is sufficient, and in addition, you can always just remove an installed package without reinstalling your whole box. [09:40] bekks: true [09:40] bekks: thanks!

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] May I know in which package uuid/uuid.h: in ubuntu 10.04?

[10:55] naasei@asterisk:~$ [10:55] bekks: so if it horks the system, there's no going back. still not that different from install - it's just laying down the proper packages in the proper places I would think. [10:56] hi [10:56] 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] 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] naasei: Get a empty cdrom or an USB stick big enough, and reinstall your box. [10:57] ok thank you bekks [10:57] hi ppl so i was using arch linux it said it had errors in dev sda2 i tried to install ubuntu it said problems lol in installed it installed guys any opinions [10:57] I though i could just do it from the iso without the cd [10:57] i installed windows it installed lol [10:57] naasei: also - again, not an ubuntu guy, I'm a debian guy - but isn't there a tiny net-install you can download that will fit on even a 128MB USB drive and just pull everything it needs of the net? [10:58] why linux says my hdd has problems windows is running well any help guys i wanna install ubuntu [10:58] I don't think so [10:58] Your hard drive to install? [10:58] lol i just cannot stop laughing what kind of problem is this? :D [10:59] Papa: what is the problem you want resolving ? [10:59] Papa: apt-get install smartmontools, then read `man smartctl` [10:59] it can ask the drive to do a self-test and give you details about hardware problems [11:00] 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] i installed win 7 pirated copy it installed lol ? [11:00] "problem" is pretty generic and unhelpful. [11:01] 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 don't use 'lol' too often, please [11:01] man i just can't stop laughing i thought my hdd i dead but windows saved me :P [11:01] but i wanna install ubuntu [11:02] i am so familiar with linux i cannot use windows :D [11:02] Papa: many hardware failures are intermittent, impact only certain areas of the disk, or behave differently on different OSes [11:02] 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] you need to determine the actual problem. [11:02] should i try reinstalling ubuntu i deleted that stupid partition using gparted [11:02] Papa: what are the errors it's giving you [11:02] Papa: and where (what point in your process) are you getting these errors [11:03] 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] i think installer said ubuntu encountered a problem man i cannot remember what was it but dev sda2 related [11:03] arch linux gave me so many errors [11:04] i won't go back to arch again man i lost so many imp data [11:04] 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] Papa: Windows doesnt save you from a defective harddisk - windows just ignores the I/O errors and bluescreens afterwards. [11:04] ummm [11:04] Since upgrading to 12.04, I can't browse the company's windows network... any ideas? [11:04] my money is shot otherwise i would have bought a new hdd :( [11:05] It keeps prompting for my credentials [11:05] Papa: So check your harddisk with smartmontools (smartctl in detail) to see wether your harddisk is about to die. [11:05] is it available in windows [11:05] if the hard drive is not too old, it may be under warranty [11:05] Papa: Read what I wrote above please. [11:05] bro it is old :P [11:05] there are tools in windows, but we probably aren't familiar with them =) === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [11:06] pls man suggest a windows alternative it takes too much time to boot live cd pls :D [11:06] google "smart hard disk test windows" [11:06] Papa: sadly if we are going to help you, we will need specific/exact data [11:06] Papa: There is no alternative. === manu is now known as Guest68528 [11:06] yaya [11:06] man i still got a smile in my face what a strange situation :P [11:07] Papa: Boot a live cd, run smartctl, run a smartctl long test. That will take about two hours. [11:07] btw i am using xchat in win7 thumbs up :D [11:07] Ah... DBus error!! [11:08] i will try both first let me see an windows alternative if iam not satisfied then livecd thx for the help let me c what can i do to replace win 7 with ubuntu cheers :D [11:09] Papa: Sorry, I didnt get that sentence. [11:09] Papa: no problem - good luck! [11:09] i am trying this passmark utility [11:09] Papa: Forget passmark. Use a livecd and smartctl. [11:10] passmark doesnt tell you anything about a harddisk about to die. [11:10] 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 [11:11] Papa: you can install it and it does have xchat installed [11:11] 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] Plus d), the livecd contains xchat too. [11:11] hey if i try btrfs can this solve this problem ?? :P [11:12] Papa: no [11:12] Papa: it will not [11:12] ummm [11:13] hi at all [11:13] oh i can remember one thing dist utility said the disk is healthy disk has few bad sectors :P [11:14] hello [11:14] i've sony vaio fz18m i used nvclok for brightness in ubuntu 11.10 but in 12.04 it doesn't work. Someone helps me? [11:14] thanks [11:15] hey when i was using arch linux some strrange chirping sound was coming after removing arch no such sounds ummm looks like i am in trouble :P [11:15] Is there anything easy/quick way to read program stdoutput when the program is start on startup? [11:16] Papa: run the smart checks you have been told to, any more discussion until that has been done is pointless [11:16] i've sony vaio fz18m i used nvclok for brightness in ubuntu 11.10 but in 12.04 it doesn't work. [11:17] please help me becasue i can't see my monitor becuase brightness is very low [11:18] is my data safe in other partitions when i use these check ? [11:18] Papa: only if the disk doesn't fail [11:19] smartctl accesses the HARDDISK, not a single partition. [11:19] good news is that chirping irritating sound is gone [11:19] pray for me brother :D [11:21] u guys wanna know smart info ?? [11:21] I'm not bothered, but it will tell YOU if your disk is failing or not === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [11:21] umm [11:21] how do I switch to gnome 3 once I have it installed? [11:21] log out then log in to gnome 3 [11:22] gnome-shell :) [11:22] Is ubuntu a good operating system for learning to program? [11:22] yaa [11:22] beginner42: no more or less than any other linux [11:22] ah, doesn't give me option...just goes into unity or whatever [11:22] prof87: I'm using this command to increase my screen brightness, xrandr --output VGA1 --brightness 2 [11:23] How does it compare to Windows?

How do I see it when I log out to choose to log into it? [11:25] there is no need for any custom kernel [11:25] gnome-shell [11:25] small rounded mark is there in login [11:25] click that :) [11:26] ah, didn't see the circle thanks [11:26] :D [11:26] +1 [11:26] Why does PulseAudio exist? [11:26] bcoz oss is bad :D [11:26] 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] In the end it is always ALSA which provides the real audio. [11:27] !pulseaudio | aetoxx [11:27] 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] BluesKaj, but PulseAudio makes a working system not work. [11:27] 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] beginner42: learn Python - its a good first language to learn [11:27] LjL, in theory, yes. [11:28] LjL, in practice, it doesn't actually work in all cases where alsa by itself does work. [11:28] aetoxx: *shrug* still, there's clearly a reason why it exists and ALSA by itself is not enough. maybe it's not perfect. [11:29] 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 [11:30] raw read error ok spin up time ok all looks ok in smart info :P [11:30] BluesKaj, kdesudo doesn't work with PulseAudio. [11:30] BluesKaj, do you know why? [11:30] no gui [11:30] BluesKaj, it is because it only works when the user has read access to the homedir of the original user. [11:31] BluesKaj, which is completely retarded. [11:31] 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] use pavucontrol [11:31] BluesKaj, there is just no excuse for such retarded designs. [11:31] BluesKaj, the whole point of kdesudo is to run something as a different user with less credentials. [11:31] punk oi oi oi [11:31] 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. [11:32] Papa: please spare us the randomness. [11:32] 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] i did not get u broda [11:32] LJL [11:32] 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] Papa: this is a busy support channel, there is no place for saying random things. [11:32] !offtopic | Papa [11:32] Papa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:33] LjL, the question is why PulseAudio, a clearly retarded piece of software, is even distributed before it works to users? [11:33] aetoxx, one word , a developer with an "agenda" , but it does help some situations [11:33] Hello [11:33] Can any one suggest me good article to configure and maintaining apache web server? [11:33] as I am newbie in this [11:33] aetoxx: is `apt-get remove` broken for you? [11:34] cmyers, :) [11:34] cmyers, irrelevant. [11:34] some people... "hey, this free software i got for free doesn't work the way I want, let me bitch about my entitlement problems instead of being constructive, filing bug reports, or trying to fix it" [11:34] cmyers, uhm, I did fix it. [11:34] cmyers, nobody on the Internet did. [11:35] so...great then? [11:35] cmyers: don't make it worse [11:35] Hey, I'm trying to install ddrescue - https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html - but apt-get gives me the error "unable to locate package" [11:35] cmyers, you are ignorant of the situation and yet you think it is wise to interfere. [11:35] oh, I'm a fool - please ignore my last question, I didn't turn WiFi on [11:35] cmyers, what does that make you? [11:35] Team_nimrod: apt-get search ddrescue [11:36] does it sow up there? [11:36] aetoxx, then why not in the spirirt of sharing , tell us what you did to fix your pulseaudio ? [11:36] erm, apt-cache search* I mean [11:36] cmyers: already solved, sorry for the bother. It was me not putting WiFi on that caused the problem [11:36] ah, coolies [11:36] no internet = no packages. Check the simple stuff before asking for help [11:37] <__vincent> is there a command line program to get mouse coordinates in X?

Is there anything easy/quick way to read program stdoutput when the program is start on startup? My problem is that the program start on startup, but it stop almost immediately after start and the program stdoutput maybe tell what cause the stopping. [11:47] dense: redirect the output to file "command > command.log" [11:47] dense: well. you could hack your way around by writing a tiny wrapper, i.e. "myprogram >/tmp/myprogram 2>&1" [11:47] dense: you can use program 1>log.txt 2&>1 [11:47] *2>&1 [11:47] Good morning folks. === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender [11:50] hi, is there any reason the dash would be displaying when i press the "End" key?

[12:39] dcullen: Like umount /dev/sdb or umount /media/disk ? [12:40] Somelauw: Ed Zachary [12:40] PATA can't be plugged out and then plugged in while the machine is running. I know that for sure.

[12:57] !notunity | smallnation_ [12:57] smallnation_: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

[13:29] Somelauw: try to restore particular files/dirs instead of --restore-all [13:29] 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] Jimbo-OLH: One of our users has a similar issue...

[13:37] 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) [13:38] 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] 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] Crocell: i don't think that is possible [13:38] Somelauw: according to your paste /dev/sdb1 is fat32 [13:39] Hi! i've install ubuntu 12.04 on my notebook but my touchpad doesn't work, how to repair it???

(just NOT the one that kvm/qemu is running from!!!) [13:42] This is the exact output: https://pastee.org/z3syv [13:43] 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? [13:44] Crocell: maybe i'm wrong but i sincerely doubt it's supported [13:44] Hi! i've install ubuntu 12.04 on my notebook but my touchpad doesn't work, how to repair it??? please help me! [13:45] HSarena first step: system settings, mouse & touchpad [13:45] 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. [13:46] Somelauw: was anything restored in RECOVERED_FILES/? [13:46] Crocell: do a normal install to a partition, then use kvm/qemu to boot it... [13:46] HSarena: what type of notebook?

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. [15:48] L3top, gracias man/sheman :D [15:48] ReshAyin: upgrading from maverick to precise is not supported [15:48] hmm, cry [15:48] 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? [15:49] auronandace, oh great [15:49] was instructed to upgrade [15:49] ReshAyin: did you upgrade directly? [15:49] alesan: Updating a LTS to the next LTS is possible. [15:49] upgraded in the terminal [15:49] 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” [15:50] bekks, directly 10.04 -> 12.04 with a single pass? [15:50] ReshAyin: you need to upgrade from one to the next: so 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 [15:50] bekks, good! how should I proceed? [15:50] actually Fyodorovna, went into connection settings & chose "Ignore" for IPv6 [15:50] ReshAyin, I just go straight to the kernel personally. [15:50] auronandace, was already at 12.04 [15:51] ReshAyin: you said you upgraded from maverick (10.10) [15:51] gotta go see you all [15:51] alesan: Like this: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1004-1010-1104-to-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-a-server/ [15:52] auronandace, that was a different person :) [15:52] personally upgraded from 12.04 [15:53] ReshAyin: what? 12.04 is the latest [15:53] ReshAyin: So you are running 12.10 then? [15:53] ReshAyin: if you are using 12.10 then go to #ubuntu+1 [15:53] it did an upgrade... L3top suggested to upgrade [15:54] gracias auronandace [15:54] auronandace: L3top, the response to lsb_release -sc was "precise" === akgraner` is now known as akgraner [15:55] L3top: clearly he doesn't know what he's done [15:55] 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)? [15:56] 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] if i just installed ubuntu how do i get my 1tb usb hard drive to work [15:56] L3top: the right thing to say is: that isn't supported [15:56] i plugged it in i dont see it under file system or nothing [15:57] decrisky001: You probably need to mount it [15:57] ahh i see [15:57] how do i do that mount it [15:57] 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] is there a mount program [15:57] 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] yes [15:57] umm, nope, am using 12.04 Precise [15:57] it's called "mount" [15:57] L3top: sorry if it sounds like i'm blaming you [15:57] terminal b636 [15:57] do i use terminal and mount command [15:58] decrisky001: yes. [15:58] !mount [15:58] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:58] okay thx i'll do that [15:58] auronandace: I believe I am sort of blaming me. In the future I will explain that proceedure to avoid this. [15:58] ReshAyin: did you perform an upgrade? [15:58] auronandace, yes [15:58] last night [15:58] ReshAyin: from what to what? [15:59] though was already at 12.04 [15:59] though it updated packages [15:59] ReshAyin: that makes no sense === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb [15:59] well, did an "sudo apt-get upgrade", & it downloaded packages, though did not change version [15:59] and made it run in low graphics mode [15:59] L3top: don't worry, you can't blame yourself for other people's mistakes :) [15:59] so im having some problems with ubuntu 12.04. it kept giving me an error about not being able to detect graphics settings [16:00] i ran sudo apt-get install gdm and now it gets to the purple load screen then just black [16:00] any ideas how to to fix this? [16:00] ReshAyin: so you didn't upgrade from a previous release, you just updated your 12.04 [16:01] I have conected notebook to the wire network and nm-applet shows that I am disconnected, on the other hand second my laptop works with that (the both have the same ubuntu 12.04), any ideas what is wrong? [16:01] auronandace, yes, it would appear such was result [16:01] because was already on 12.04 from 11.10 [16:02] zykotick9: ok debootstrap did the trick: debootstrap --variant=minbase --arch=amd64 precise /mnt/somepartition http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [16:02] ReshAyin: i can't help you if you can't decide what you did [16:02] zykotick9: thx again [16:03] hi guy [16:03] how can i find out why my newly installed 12.04 keeps freezing on me? [16:03] are there error logs that may have something in them? [16:04] 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] W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key was why I said to upgrade. [16:04] ReshAyin: see, now that was much clearer [16:04] 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] auronandace, yes forgive language discrepancies [16:06] L3top, yes... followed web page instructions to fix that problem [16:06] anyone? [16:06] how come in unbuntu, my backspace key doesn't repeat, but in a XP vm on the ubuntu box, it does? [16:07] Fyodorova, da! [16:07] heligoland Check /var/log/ directory. [16:07] dcullen, yeah! [16:07] Sorry, switching tasks a bit. [16:07] Well, it's like this: [16:07] I had a glorious quad boot system running, and first grub would lock up at the menu. [16:08] 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] I bypassed this by manually overwriting the values in the grub.cfg file to auto-select. [16:08] Then I would simply reboot, and the default value would be where I wanted it, therefore not making the keyboard use necessary. [16:08] hi [16:08] One fine day, grub would show up as usual, but I had no countdown. [16:09] It just sat there. [16:09] wired network not managed [16:09] The log check showed that the indexing was wrong on the various volumes (partitions) [16:09] And therefore, I assumed it just didn't boot into the default prompts. [16:09] Saeryn, which file? [16:10] I did a complete grub reinstall off of the live CD. [16:10] grub-install and grub-update. [16:10] how to fix this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100330/ ? [16:10] But now, it says, press [16:10] If your system is becoming unresponsive it will probably be Xorg.0.log [16:10] press "ESC" for the grub menu. [16:10] !enter | Scribal [16:10] Scribal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:10] oh. [16:11] using kubuntu and firefox, when i download and doubleclick an pdf file in the download list - it always opens the pdf file with gimp. how can i fix that? it is really bugging me [16:11] tl;dr grub hates my keyboard. [16:11] 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)? [16:11] tl;dr grub hates my keyboard, but BIOS thinks it's lovely. [16:11] * Scribal nods [16:11] I have four primary partitions (3 system partitions that if I remove theme the Windows does not boot correctly, one of them is for recovery, one for bios recovery and one is some other shit. and there's one partition holding the Windows Seven). How can I create a new partition for ubuntu now?! [16:11] you can't, Mo. [16:12] am going to attempt to reboot to see if the webbrowsers work again [16:12] hello everbody [16:12] A given physical drive can only accomodate 4 primary partitions [16:12] 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] now you mean I should choose one between Windows and Linux?! O_o [16:12] You can use one primary partition as a series of extended partitions. [16:12] MO_Handes: No. [16:12] You can have up to four primary partitions. [16:13] Why does windows take up 3 system partitions? [16:13] Can a magento module's controller have a _construct? [16:13] Also, by "system partitions{" do you mean "Primary/Logical partitions"? [16:13] Having at least ONE extended partition, you can have up to 16 logical partitions in that single extended partition. [16:13] MO_Handes: you need a primary partition for a bios recovery (i've never seen that before) [16:13] MO_Handes: sorry, that was meant to be a question [16:14] 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] MO_Handes: Having three pre-installed partitions, you can just create an extended partition and just be happy :) [16:14] 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 [16:15] no [16:15] there's one Windows partition, too [16:15] that makes it four :( [16:15] MO_Handes: it sounds like your partitions are pre-defined by the OEM's install disks? [16:15] b636bc7ca, uhum [16:15] MO_Handes: windows only needs one partition, the others are unneeded [16:15] MO_Handes: Windows uses two partitions, one recovery, one system. What's the third partition? [16:15] I have no idea whether that was a yes or a no [16:16] W7 needs two partitions. === zaspire_ is now known as zaspire [16:16] bekks: thats not true [16:16] bekks: i don't think it *needs* 2 [16:16] can someone highlight me in 5 secs for a test ?? pls [16:16] auronandace: Then why does it create two when installing W7? :) [16:16] cebor: here you go [16:16] !test | cebor [16:17] cebor: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [16:17] nice thx [16:17] bekks: what? it never did that with me [16:17] ok, this is really weird... can not even reach the router gui at 192.168.etc. [16:17] Hia, trying to play a dvd but I don't know how to get past the beginning the 1min page with the chapters. Its on a loop going round and round [16:17] bekks: It doesn't do that to me, either [16:17] Windows 7 requires me to have two partitions as well. [16:17] auronandace: by default win7 sets up a 100mb "system" partition [16:17] this is ReshAyin/Hetep btw [16:17] bekks: it only does that if you give the install full license to format the drive and do what it like [16:18] bwat47: since when? [16:18] bekks: you can tell it the partition to install to [16:18] auronandace: Since Windows 7. [16:18] bekks: i see from what ok_ just said, i've never let windows partition for me [16:18] It plays music and says ''play movie'' but I can't click on it like if I was in windows. someone know what I'm talking about? [16:19] there's a 80mb partition, a 1mb fat partition, a 10gb partition for windows recovery, and a 320gb partition for windows installation, that makes it four [16:20] livingdaylight_: do you have the right codecs? [16:20] i've configured and installed kernel 2.6.35.13 on my ubuntu 12.04 , now i want to remove my intsalled kernel ???? [16:20] MO_Handes with logica [16:20] martini: yup, think so [16:20] MO_Handes with extended partititions, you can create more [16:20] livingdaylight_ what video players have you tried it in? [16:21] M0_Handes i have had the same situation, i removed the windows recovery, and resized the windows installation partition to make enough space [16:21] anybody have any clues to help? === JesseW is now known as intransit [16:21] how can I convert one, for example the 320gb primary partition which holds Windows to extended? [16:21] auronandace, ok_, bekks: I believe it may be required with SOME UEFI bioses as SOME do not like to boot directly to NTFS. [16:22] L3top: ah, i've never used efi or uefi [16:22] livingdaylight_: what means think so? did you really manually installed them? [16:22] 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 [16:23] MO_Handes: Please watch your language in here [16:23] L3top: can see the logic in that, i only ever get there from grub or chimera and they don't have any issues with NTFS (that I've encountered) [16:23] MO_Handes: you need to delete one of them, you can't have more than 4 primary partitions [16:23] I am an amatuer linux user and I'm getting extremely frustrated. I can't get a simple cron job to run [16:23] martini: libdvdread4 or whatever its called [16:23] samuel: vlc [16:24] I am trying to get this command to run once a minute. echo "TESTING" >> /home/user/test.log [16:24] MO_Handes: Delete the 320GB partition and make two extended partitions in that space, install W7 to one and Ubuntu to the other. [16:24] its playing, but the opening ''Contents'' where it say ''Play Movie'' You know how some dvd's come with chapters and various options. But vlc doesn't let me click on them so, have to find another way to move forward to the actual video portion === axl__ is now known as axl_ [16:25] livingdaylight_: Do you have libdvdnav4 installed as well? [16:25] GeminiDomino: no? [16:26] MO_Handes it's not like that, you create an extended partition of 200GB or so and inside that, you create the partitions you need [16:26] guys figured it out. on VLC have to go to ''Playback'' in panel and then in drop down menu there are the tracks [16:26] Okay, good [16:26] when i run cod i get "http://pastebin.com/tYUWGwWR" [16:26] so, can a person help troubleshoot the internet connection? [16:27] well, it's just the browser can't reach internet [16:27] anyone here experiance with proftpd? [16:27] am capable of using irc though [16:27] progressivpirate: What does your crontab line look like? [16:27] alt + right click to open drop down menu on gnome session fallback gnome-panel does not work for me. Also How do I add the System tab besides applications and Places as it was in ubuntu 10.10 [16:27] what's this service called, that converts an ip address to an url? [16:28] i was wandering when i do this: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-proftpd-tls-on-ubuntu/ what directories are exposed to users who log in to the ftp server? [16:28] dyndns MonkeyDust [16:28] Domain name service? [16:28] Asar:wich Browser? when did it worked last time? [16:28] MonkeyDust: reverse DNS? [16:28] do I have to restart cron everytime I edit cronbtab? [16:28] progressivpirate: No [16:28] it was working last night priori update... the browser is Chromium [16:28] Asar you have a DNS issue, that's why you can't surf [16:28] yes MonkeyDust... can you help? [16:28] Asar: Same happened to me I had to change my Speed/Duplex settings. [16:29] bhavesh, gracias... can a person help with that? [16:30] Asar: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-network-card-speed-and-duplex-settings-in-ubuntu.html [16:30] I have conected notebook to the wire network and nm-applet shows that I am disconnected, on the other hand second my laptop works with that (the both have the same ubuntu 12.04), any ideas what is wrong? [16:30] m477: What does "second my laptop" mean? [16:30] Asar: I changed the settings to 10Mbps half duplex using sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half after installing ethtool. [16:31] my crontab looks like */1 * * * * /home/bob/wtf.sh [16:31] bhavesh, great, though can't see it [16:31] How can I right click on gnome-panel in gnome -sessioon-fallback [16:31] b636bc7ca: i think he meant secondhand laptop [16:31] I need to scan documents and convert to .pdf , for which gscan2pdf works well. But, I also want to encrypt the .pdf's .. suggestions? [16:31] Asar: Cannot see what? [16:31] cannot reach the internet [16:31] Asar what's in /etc/resolv.conf ? use pastbinit to show us [16:31] wtf.sh looks like http://pastebin.com/Z9bMRVjU [16:32] bhavesh: try alt/ctrl+right-click/click [16:32] cannot use a browser [16:32] just the irc [16:32] HELLO [16:32] b636bc7ca: or rather, on the other hand, my second laptop... [16:32] martini, Alt + RMB / Alt + LMD / Ctrl + RMB / Ctrl + LMB does not work [16:33] # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [16:33] # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [16:33] nameserver 127.0.0.1 [16:33] search att.net [16:33] Asar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:33] Hello [16:33] 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] can not reach pastebin [16:33] sorry [16:33] Asar: 127.0.0.1 seems unlikely to be a valid DNS server [16:33] how are you all [16:33] bittyx-laptop: apt-cache show php5 [16:33] Asar: try changing settings to 100Mbps full duplex/ 100MBps half duplex / 10Mbps full duplex then [16:34] bittyx-laptop: yes [16:34] m477: so one laptop will connect to the wired network, but another will not? [16:34] b636bc7ca: I've noticed an annoying tendency of Precise to have resolvconf do that on a few of my installs, too. [16:34] am not certain how to do such bhavesh [16:34] martini, Does it have somthing to do with not having installed the app which allows you to re arrange lists? [16:34] 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] Asar http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-network-card-speed-and-duplex-settings-in-ubuntu.html [16:35] 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] Pici: that command shows php5.3.3 - and that's kind of pretty old [16:35] b636bc7ca: yes [16:35] bhavesh, you're siting an internet site that is unreachable [16:35] m477: Is it possible that whatever service provider rests at the other end of that connection only allows certain MACs? [16:35] bittyx-laptop: What release of UBuntu are you on? [16:35] b636bc7ca: I have two notebooks === lubuntu is now known as Guest77340 [16:35] 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. [16:36] 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] WTF can't Lubuntu-12 make my touchpad work, while Puppylinux version of 2 years ago can?!?!?! [16:36] 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] UICTamale: without any more details, I'd recommend using the restricted drivers [16:36] for your video card [16:36] Pici: i'm on ubuntu 10.10 - i know it's old, and i'll upgrade to 12.04 in the next few days [16:37] How can I right click on gnome-panel in gnome -sessioon-fallback? [16:37] 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] b636bc7ca: no, there should be connection independently of MACs [16:37] bittyx-laptop: 12.04 only has 5.3.10 in it. [16:37] answer please. I'm attoniched that a stupid touchpad isn't recognized by Ubuntu12* system [16:37] Ctrl/Alt RMB/LMB does not work [16:37] bhavesh, unable to fetch the archives [16:38] : go to system tools [16:38] 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] b636bc7ca: I do not know what is ISP but I have been told that it should connect in this network [16:38] swaT30: yeah, I'm using the open source ones [16:38] !attitude | Guest77340 [16:38] 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] 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] ok ok I know by heart those sentences [16:38] Pici: actually, taking a closer look, our production uses 5.3.13, we haven't switched to 5.3.14 yet [16:38] I just need some help for a so-simpe but difficult-to-solve problem [16:39] can't change it [16:39] bhavesh: maybe alt+super+right-click [16:39] b636bc7ca [16:39] martini: love you :D Worked :D thank you. [16:39] Asar: Why not? [16:40] how come in unbuntu, my backspace key doesn't repeat, but in a XP vm on the ubuntu box, it does? [16:40] !touchpad [16:40] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [16:40] Asar: use sudo if it doesn't allow [16:40] gksu gedit [16:40] !who | Asar [16:40] 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] bhavesh: your'e welcome [16:41] 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] ok, changed it... does it need reboot? [16:41] 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] Asar: No [16:41] Asar: I guess it just needs reconnecting the network [16:41] I'm here [16:42] 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] 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] Hello guys! [16:43] 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] 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] 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] ResQue: and if I'm not using X? [16:43] Could someone help me to figure how to solve it please? [16:43] pleaaaaaaaaase I can pay for some good support [16:44] 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] just don't make me wait here for years [16:44] ResQue: Did you run update-grub? [16:44] whats the problem? [16:44] It also showed : linux-System-Name kernel: [97030.942803] audit_printk_skb: 42 callbacks suppressed [16:44] bittyx-laptop: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas provides a search [16:44] my touchpad isn't recognized by the systen mbalmer [16:44] I mean : linux-System-Name kernel: [97030.942816] type=1400 audit(1342706983.682:26): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince-previewer" name="/home/linux/.cache/dconf/user" pid=5450 comm="evince-previewe" requested_mask="wc" denied_mask="wc" fsuid=1000 ou: [16:44] Guest77340: You may post on Ubuntu forums [16:45] Guest77340: *shrug* I've already been here about twice as long as you and have no more answer to my question than you do; some patience might be in order. [16:45] xinput list only shows (except keyboard) "virtual core pointer" [16:45] Guest77340, what is your issue here san? [16:45] bhavesh: ubuntu forums are even more slow [16:45] b636bc7ca: no, i was under the impression that the /boot/grub/grub.cfg is read at run time, is this correct? [16:45] write a device driver for your touchpad, then, I guess [16:45] 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] -.- [16:45] hello all [16:46] Pici: thank you very much, kind sir, i'll check that out [16:46] Guest77340, why don't you change ditro to some more fast then? [16:46] b636bc7ca: also i just checked update-grub is just a stub for grub-mkconfig, thanks anyway [16:46] 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] bittyx-laptop: There's no promise you *CAN* find a PPA that packages your desired version, though. [16:46] I Have dl ed unetbootin [16:46] s/my/by [16:46] does it deliver data on a tty? [16:47] Guest77340: So use Puppy Linux, figure out how they're supporting it, and bring that over to Ubuntu. [16:47] anybody have any other suggestions? [16:47] what a lose of time [16:47] ey guys, do you know any CSV splitter? [16:47] b636bc7ca: yeah, i'm beginning to see that. nevermind, i guess i could use some experience with installing php on my own [16:47] ubuntu sucks ,guys [16:47] no wait. [16:47] a stupid touchpad lol [16:47] bye [16:47] b636bc7ca: 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\ [16:47] Asar: What does "dig google.com" say on a terminal? [16:47] Jacruth: splitter? Can you be more specific of what you're trying to accomplish? [16:47] what an ass... [16:48] vesh7807: What do you mean "tried terminal to no avail"? [16:48] don't tell [16:48] are there any Ubuntu Forum staff on here? [16:48] Pici, I want to split a CSV file into some CSV files [16:48] b636bc7ca it does not [16:48] ninjaaron: check out #ubuntuforums [16:48] Pici, because OpenOffice can't process it all [16:48] it is too large [16:48] shall I try to remove it?

[16:48] too many rows [16:48] says "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" [16:48] Jacruth: You can use 'split' to split any file into any number of bytes/lined files. [16:48] Asar: and what about 'dig google.com @8.8.8.8'? [16:49] Even if it is CSV, Pici ? [16:49] Jacruth: a CSV is just a text file. [16:49] 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] b636bc7ca: i tried to set static ip address sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and even restarted the interfaces to no avail as well [16:50] b636bc7ca, same thing, "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" [16:50] Jacruth: ie: split -l 50000 infile.txt outfile. will produce a bunch of files called outfile.aa, outfile.ab, outfile.ac etc [16:50] Asar: traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 [16:50] vesh7807: When you edited /etc/network/interfaces and did '/etc/init.d/networking restart', what happened? [16:51] do not have traceroute installed [16:51] install and then run it, asar [16:52] bonez2046, welcome to the conversation... can't install it... observe the "connection timed out, no servers could be reached" comment? [16:52] 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] Asar: You'll have to download it on another computer to some kind of portable media [16:52] 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] a flash drive, CD-R, etc. [16:53] vesh7807: is this on the same computer you're using IRC from? [16:53] yes, have a flash drive... sec b636bc7ca, do not go anywhere, & give a link for downloading it & stand by for install instructions por favor [16:53] yeah [16:53] <^Mike\b> How can I ask my system what kind of controller my SSD has? [16:53] b636bc7ca: yeah [16:53] hm, that makes it hard to test out things [16:54] Asar: if you can't reach any servers, or the 'net, how are you here, how are you in this net based conversation? [16:54] vesh7807: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [16:54] I guess Firefox is too heavy to my computer, is there another browser I could install? [16:54] bonez, irc works [16:54] fabian__: try midori [16:54] not certain the reason [16:54] right, but not apt-get install traceroute? [16:54] hmm [16:54] nope [16:54] :/ [16:54] bonez2046: In other words - he doesn't know - somehow he managed to get on IRC before he started having networking problems [16:54] b636bc7ca: auto lo [16:54] iface lo inet loopback [16:55] ok, where to download traceroute for ubuntu? [16:55] vesh7807: Don't paste it in the channel [16:55] Asar: packages.ubuntu.org [16:55] i need help( b4313 wifi+ubuntu 12.04 i need monitor mode [16:55] oops, sorry - .com not .org [16:55] b636bc7ca: ok im new to this channel where should i paste [16:55] too many years of p.d.o [16:56] vesh7807: so am I, but look at the topic [16:56] freenetwork: if you network card, and network card drivers support it you can type in "iwconfig mode monitor" [16:56] beandog, thank you [16:56] vesh7807: how about pastebin? [16:57] my network card in ubuntu 10/04 support monitor mode, then 12/04 no worked [16:57] fabian__, low sytem resources due to slow processor and short RAM? [16:57] b636bc7ca: i dont get what you asking me to do??? sorry for my ignorance [16:58] vesh7807: Do you see the channel topic at or near the top of your IRC window? [16:58] does anyone know how to set a modeline for an intel chip in 12.04? There doesn't seem to be an xorg.conf anymore... these new fandangled linux's really throw the old hat's for a loop.

[17:00] Hi, I've moved my computer up to the attic with a 12.04 installation and spent a day trying to figure out why connecting it upstairs won't work.. I've come to the point where I've taken one long cable from the second floor, directly from the router, into the computer and still it won't work.. [17:00] fabian__, old computer or so? [17:00] vesh7807: At that URL, or one of the ones ubottu just gave you, paste the full contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file, and give us the URL [17:00] nicoAMG, yep [17:00] So then no one knows what the stdout is on TTY1 in Lucid? Such as during a Kernel Panic?

[17:01] I also tried gpointing-device-settings but it doesn't save anything [17:01] and when I launch it I get An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) [17:01] I'm sitting on a laptop with the internet cable hooked up to a laptop right next to the computer that won't adhere to connecting to the internet here... [17:01] ok, got traceroute [17:01] b636bc7ca, you still here? [17:01] sirriffsalot: Are you saying your WiFi wont work in your attic? [17:02] hello?

Wire-connected...

This is completely ridiculous [17:03] too bad there's not a dns fix install [17:04] could just install a peice of software & have internet [17:04] Saeryn, this 12.04 network-manager is too smart for it's own good:P [17:05] so, b636bc7ca, what now? [17:05] fabian__, ? [17:05] how good is Banshee and Rhythmbox at syncing with an iOS device? [17:07] anyone here who can help me installing tor browser bundle? i've already downloaded and extractet it but it doesnt work?

[17:09] 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] t00tie, use "Cheese" [17:09] 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 [17:10] nicoAMG, old computer mate. [17:10] nicoAMG, like which one for example? [17:10] ty Asar [17:10] your welcome :) [17:10] Saeryn: the kernel is not able to log that on a file [17:11] Saeryn: its stderr on tty [17:11] fabian__, are you running Gnome? [17:11] personally have a creative cam... think they're kinda cheap, though what is to be expected 10 year old hardware? hehe [17:11] Cheese will operate your cam just good enough though t00tie [17:11] iceroot So there is no way to either copy it or redirect it? [17:12] would love to download a thing to fix the dns problem [17:12] Asar: Did you do a traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 yet, as I asked? [17:12] not yet [17:12] Saeryn: kernel-panics, no [17:12] needed the command again... didn't look back [17:12] Saeryn: not with the default kernel config (imo) [17:13] 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] there's no traceroute on ubuntu and that _is_ a bug [17:13] fabian__, xfce for example: http://www.xfce.org/ [17:13] Saeryn: there are network-loggers which are storing that output but directly to a file is normally not possible [17:13] b636bc7ca: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100433/ [17:13] Damn.

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] that's not traceroute!!! nor is mtr [17:15] 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] Catch-22 [17:15] Saeryn: camera and but it to a bug-report [17:15] Saeryn: i was doing the same when facing kernel-panics [17:15] Asar: route -en | grep '^0' [17:16] b636bc7ca?

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] is it possible that somehow some way the iso i got is corrupt even though it meets the md5 requirement [17:18] braindea1: did you try just reinstalling? [17:18] so it doesnt allow me to install any packges from software center [17:19] Resinator: maybe it isn't the cd but the cd drive [17:19] i tried from a flash drive today [17:19] yeah i did sudo apt-get purge python and then apt-get install python, no effect [17:19] 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 ?

[17:28] Asar: ping the address [17:29] 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] Asar: do you have any other computers connected to that network - are you able to browse on another [17:29] braindea1: --reinstall is the parameter for install. you have to add the package, you want to reinstall [17:29] vesh7807 unable to connect [17:29] What is gparted checking to determine that I have a bad sector on my hard drive and cannot resize my ntfs partition?

[17:38] Hi all. Is Open office.org still available in the repo? I don't want lebreoffice. [17:38] Is there a way to prevent a user from navigating out of there home directory. I don't want them to be able to cd /etc/ or what ever [17:39] in xchat, how do i change the color of what i said? [17:39] Asar: i cant configure the interface without getting into options - thats the problem [17:39] via FTP and SSH [17:39] hmm [17:39] agentgasmask, may I ask why you aren't interested in libreoffice? [17:39] & you have not used 1 priori [17:39] If I put a icon on the top bar how can I remove it? [17:39] Is there a way to force a boot into Ubuntu without grub? [17:39] Could someone please paste the default samba config file for me please? [17:39] Asar: options button is greyed out on the interfaces - wired and wireless [17:39] sec, go into "System Settings" [17:39] agentgasmask: Sure. But why exactly you dont want libreoffice? [17:39] Asar: ok [17:40] vesh7807, use System Settings > Network, see if it's the same [17:40] you should have "Options" available [17:41] Asar: options is available but greyed out [17:41] if not, go to the "Network Proxy" & tell what you have [17:41] vesh7807, wait, you can get into the "Options" tab? [17:41] OK, I can't install the PowerVR SGX drivers on the PandaBoard 12.04 Ubuntu. Can ye help me? Or do I need to ask in #pandaboard [17:42] Hey guys [17:42] Asar: network proxy none, no i cant get into the options tab as its greyed out [17:42] 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] vesh7807, in the terminal do "ifconfig" & set your mac address [17:42] 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. If you know how to make localc read .ods files created by oocalc cor [17:42] Could someone please paste the default samba config file for me please? [17:42] sheesh vesh7807, that's kinda tough... not certain what to suggest off hand [17:43] sec, did you google your problem? [17:43] fabian__: How about I use pastebin? [17:43] I realy am willing to try to fix this if someone can point me in the right direction. [17:43] Asar: for about a week now and i never want to move/use windows again [17:43] dcullen, yes, that is what I am talking about, would you mind please ? [17:43] agentgasmask, ahh interesting. I was under the impression that LO was just a recent fork and should work. [17:44] fabian__: Will do. Give me a few seconds. [17:44] agentgasmask: Did you try the same with openoffice yet? ;) [17:44] dcullen, magnificent, I wait :D [17:44] Praxi: As was I... it is quite strange. [17:44] if it helps i have the contents of rc.local (the iptables are in there) [17:44] vesh7807, did you install the "Network Manager Applet"? [17:44] bekks: yes, the file opens fine on another machine that has openoffice installed. [17:45] card with chip CX25821do not work. any /dev/videoX devices not created. module cx25821 load, but fail in start. Device: S-80200E OS:Ubuntu 12.04 [17:45] Asar: how can i be sure that its done [17:45] bekks: That machine is running ubuntu 10.04. The new one is running xubuntu 12.04 [17:45] agentgasmask: Is it the same Ubuntu version with the same openoffice version installed? [17:45] 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] vesh7807, am going to get that info for you, sec [17:45] agentgasmask: Then the openoffice versions will differ. [17:46] bekks: So this could be a *office problem with just version incompatability... That would be bad! [17:46] vesh, sec === chrisl is now known as chrisl_away [17:46] agentgasmask: Thats why you have to test it before blaming libreoffice :) [17:47] Asar: cause if i search for network connections the applet is there but i cant see the interface i use, if i try to set a static address it errors connection add failed - connection not visible or not available [17:47] bekks: haha, I'm not trying to point fingers or throw blame arround. :) we are all in this together. :) [17:47] Wow, you should see the guy who just contacted me [17:47] http://imgur.com/MADRr [17:47] ok, i can figured out how to change the color of my name. how about the text? [17:47] vesh7807, guess is you don't have the nm-applet installed [17:47] anyone know which pkg (12.04) has /proc/net/ip_acct? [17:47] try Synaptic vesh7807 [17:48] bekks: Ok, so what is the package name for Openoffice.org now. I tried to install the package "openoffice.org" and it installed libreoffice.

I got my CPU cores down to 45! [17:54] Asar: is this perhaps not a bug for gnome 3.5xxxx [17:54] vesh7807, reinstall, see if your "Options" button is available [17:54] vesh7807, yeah, there was mention of a bug on the web [17:54] Does anyone know the package name for openofice.org? Not libreofice. [17:55] it was in the bugs.launchpad.org website [17:55] agentgasmask: openoffice.org? === mmonat is now known as mmonat-i [17:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/paprefs/+bug/829051 [17:55] Launchpad bug 829051 in paprefs (Ubuntu) "paprefs cannot configure pulseaudio network settings" [Critical,Fix released] [17:55] package name is openoffice.org3 [17:55] what ppas are you using for the version of gnome u have [17:56] dcullen: that installs libreoffice oddly enough. [17:56] Sorry [17:56] oooh, just the default ones vesh7807 [17:56] agentgasmask: lol, that sucks! [17:56] Open office became libre office, didn't it? [17:56] TheWhiteHatter: Thanks. I'll check it out. [17:56] PEOPLE'S COLORS KEEP CHANGING, I DO NOT LIKE THIS [17:57] TheWhiteHatter: lay off the mercury, maybe [17:57] lol [17:57] TheWhiteHatter: openoffice is controlled by apache now, its still around.

[17:58] TheWhiteHatter: libreoffice is a fork [17:58] dcullen, tahnk you very much man! [17:58] fabian__: You are more then welcome [17:58] dcullen IIRC, oracle even stopped maintaining open office [17:59] If I put a icon on the top bar how can I remove it? [17:59] So does anyone know if Open Office.org is in the repos? I can only find an RPM file from their website. :( [17:59] agentgasmask: OK, I see this: openoffice.org-common - office productivity suite -- arch-independent files [17:59] 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] dcullen, :D [17:59] MonkeyDust: yes, but its currently maintained by apache, oracle donated the license to them [17:59] dcullen: Ok, let me check that real quick. [17:59] agentgasmask: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openoffice&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [17:59] openoffice is still in the repos. [17:59] Darn, my icepack isn't cold anymore, now my cores are heating up... [18:00] vesh7807, anytime :) [18:00] ssensors [18:01] I started using guake yesterday, it's AWESOME === JacksterE is now known as JacksterD [18:01] 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 === EricAndrews is now known as CubixCloudErci === CubixCloudErci is now known as CubixCloudEric [18:03] bekks: Aparently it only installs libreoffice. it's as if it's defying my commands! :( [18:03] agentgasmask, did you read what I just said ? [18:03] glebihan: Yes, so that means there are now packages in the rep for openoffice.org? [18:03] agentgasmask, that's right [18:04] agentgasmask, err, it means there are *no* packages for openoffice (guess that's what you meant ?) [18:04] glebihan: yes, I was just writing back to bekks first to finish the back-and-forth we started... Thanks for you help. [18:04] agentgasmask, you're welcome [18:04] glebihan: haha, yeah. s/now/no [18:04] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:04] HOLA AMIGOS [18:04] perdon [18:05] If I put a icon on the top bar how can I remove it? [18:05] agentgasmask: Yeah, I got off my can and opened aptitude and looked: openoffice.org is transitional. [18:05] no medi cuntas de las maysculas [18:05] can I install Java 7 in older Ubuntu releases? I'm stuck on 10.04, but can update to 11.10. any chance to get Java 7 on there? [18:05] glebihan: any hints on the formats and styles problem I posted in the scoll-back? [18:05] agentgasmask, no sorry, I actually very rarely use libreoffice [18:06] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:06] glebihan: Ok, thanks, just thought I would ask. :) [18:07] agentgasmask: http://www.openoffice.org/download/ [18:07] dcullen: Thanks. :) Downloading now. [18:07] agentgasmask: Mostly pasted it for posterity, in case someone reads this log later [18:08] I can't edit this file, even as root [18:08] Anyone have any thought on installing from deb files? Can you stiil use apt-get remove to get rid of it? [18:08] wtf? [18:08] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:08] TheWhiteHatter: what file? [18:08] TheWhiteHatter: Check the SELinux permissions [18:08] It can't edit / or anything in it. Other than my home folder [18:09] TheWhiteHatter: ls -Zl [18:09] test [18:09] emuhelp: This is a radio check, you are 5 by 5 [18:09] emuhelp: Test worked [18:09] There's a question mark next to each file [18:09] it works -finally I find that 'empathy' can do irc.... [18:09] lol [18:10] dcullen: there's a question mark next to each file [18:10] and I'm root === bobbyaldolAFK is now known as bobbyaldol [18:10] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:10] TheWhiteHatter: now it's time to do some googling on selinux [18:11] TheWhiteHatter: How did you become root? su - or sudo bash? [18:11] su [18:11] dcullen: also sudo -i [18:11] If this isn't the place to ask a question here, sorry and please correct/redirect me. I need help getting QEMU to run (so I can debug GRUB2 so I can install Ubuntu). [18:11] agentgasmask, about deb files : yes you can uninstall with apt-get if you install packages with deb files [18:12] dcullen: i'm using su === jtrucks is now known as entroyd [18:12] emuhelp: What type of QEMU? x86? [18:12] dcullen: mkdir, cp, mv, nothing works [18:12] TheWhiteHatter: Is there anything that _does_ work? [18:12] not that I know of [18:12] Standard qemu running on a standard x86 desktop PC, Ubuntu 10.04.4, nothing rare. [18:12] TheWhiteHatter: run mount and see if the file system is read only === entroyd is now known as jtrucks [18:13] I can't edit anything that isn't in /home/Home [18:13] emuhelp: Are you trying to use an x86 root file system? Or are you running pure "qemu"? [18:13] TheWhiteHatter: Maybe the rest of the file system was remounted ro, and /home/Home was mounted rw on top of that [18:14] Hello, My wireless network shows "unmanaged", what could be the reason? [18:14] i did mount the file system on a liveCD last time I booted [18:14] is anyone else experiencing slow scripts with youtube+html5+firefox 14.0.1 [18:14] would that cause a problem? [18:14] TheWhiteHatter: run mount and give us a link to a pastebin [18:14] run mount on what? [18:14] escott current FF version is 13 [18:14] TheWhiteHatter: Just run mount [18:14] k [18:15] TheWhiteHatter: No options, no need to use sudo [18:15] baobab and df do not agree [18:15] dcullen: http://pastebin.com/VW0fiCYb [18:15] ??? I want qemu, an emulator, to run my PC in emulation mode, that is, it would start executing the BIOS ROM just as if my PC had just come out of reset -it would read reset vector, and so forth. [18:15] baobab says my hd is 65Gb, df sees 91dg [18:15] MonkeyDust, 14.0.1 was pushed out to me a couple days ago [18:16] df is right [18:16] I don't see where else the space is used [18:16] I tried Virtual Box and BOCHS and couldn't get either to work at all. [18:16] why is that? [18:17] emuhelp: you're trying to do what? [18:17] If I put a icon on the top bar how can I remove it? [18:17] emuhelp: you can't emulate your own PC, not in the way you're thinking [18:18] fabian__: with right click? [18:18] Simply trying to run qemu on my machine -which is booted with a live Ubuntu 10.04.4 CD which is how I am speaking to you now (via Empathy). I want to run qemu in a terminal window. [18:18] Can't emulate my PC??? [18:18] dcullen: find anything? [18:18] TheWhiteHatter: I see no problems with your mounts [18:19] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:19] somebody can help me with irqpoll, please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1099639/ [18:19] my ubuntu randomly terminate the session :( [18:19] emuhelp: your previous message was confusing [18:19] emuhelp, you can do "paravirtualization" but almost no consumer hardware does true virtualization [18:19] emuhelp: if you can run qemu what is the problem? [18:19] emuhelp not a running system, no === dpb_ is now known as Guest78961 [18:19] urlwolf: try parted/gparted [18:19] dcullen: any other ideas? [18:19] wildwind, it shows two options launch and properties, no delete. [18:19] emuhelp: I would recommend this: http://wiki.debian.org/QEMU/ [18:19] im gonna try the alternate install [18:19] perhaps that will work better [18:19] No, I can't run qemu -but it at least works a lot closer (compile, etc works). [18:19] emuhelp: What is the actual problem you're trying to solve? [18:19] did I understand correctly, he wants to "emulate" his own PC from within his PC? [18:20] fabian__: Ubuntu version? [18:20] wildwind, 12.04 [18:20] emuhelp: are you trying to sandbox applications on your PC? [18:20] emuhelp: This has instructions for ARM, but might be adapted for x86: http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php [18:20] I have no idea what that guy wants [18:21] The ACTUAL problem I'm trying to solve is to install Ubuntu on this computer, and to do that I have to debug GRUB2, and to do that I figure I have to run my PC in virtualization and use GDB to debug it. [18:21] emuhelp: I generally create a root file system for the ARCH I want to emulate and use qemu-ARCH-static [18:21] wildwind, ok, I figured it, just alt+right mouse click [18:21] emuhelp: What problem are you having with grub2? [18:21] emuhelp: you can't run your PC in virtualization since a virtual machine does not emulate your PC [18:21] emuhelp: What notk0 said [18:22] Perhaps I have to copy my ROM image into a file so it is used instead of SeaBIOS ? [18:22] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:22] you can try to migrate a hdd image to a virtual machine [18:22] emuhelp: lol what? [18:22] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:22] emuhelp: what the crap .. why do you need to debug grub? [18:22] emuhelp: QEMU isn't going to emulate your underlying HW (e.g. CPU, chipset, RAM, etc.) [18:22] is he a troll or something? [18:22] just use a different bootloader [18:22] hy, does ubuntu 12.04 support asus x71sl? [18:23] notk0: perhaps merely confused about how emulation really works? [18:23] dcullen: perhaps [18:23] When I've tried installing Ubuntu, I get "error: file not found. grub rescue>" and can't get beyond that. Been working on this problem for MONTHS... [18:23] emuhelp: have you tried reinstalling grub? [18:23] from a live cd? [18:23] emuhelp: Do you have more than one hard drive? [18:23] escott FF 14 here too, I should upgrade more often [18:24] emuhelp: Well, you'll probably have it fixed by the end of the day. [18:24] MonkeyDust, if you haven't updated i would holdoff. 14.0.1 seems a bit buggy [18:24] my vote is use syslinux. It's less dumb. [18:24] Perhaps I am confused about emulation... everything... anyway, like I said, been working at this for months... 1000 hours at least. [18:24] Not to mention WAY less complex ... you can have a setup in under 10 lines [18:25] Where is located the system trash can on Ubuntu not running Unity? [18:25] I have not tried other Linux, only Ubuntu 10.04 [18:25] is it safe to update to the latest stable kernal or should I stay with the one on ubuntu 12.04? [18:25] Which works on live CD just fine, but can't get it on hard drive. One hard drive. [18:25] emuhelp, trying to run grub in gdb is WAY beyond almost everyone in this channel. but if you want help trying to reinstall and figure things out we are happy to help [18:26] emuhelp: How old is the computer? [18:26] fabian__, what file manager gui do you use? [18:26] emuhelp: how did you install it in the first place? [18:26] emuhelp: what OS did you use before? windows? [18:26] emuhelp: If your computer is _really_ old, and your kernel stuff is past its reach on the hard drive, it might have problems [18:26] escott, Nautilus [18:26] Computer is HP Pavilion desktop, not sure exact model, but 2.2GHz anyway, 500GB HD [18:27] emuhelp: What vintage? What year? [18:27] Yes, computer ran Windows fine -certain it is not hardware problem. [18:27] fabian__, then its the same location as if you were running unity. naut chooses where to put the trash not unity [18:27] escott, oh, ok [18:27] emuhelp: Which version of Windows? 2000? XP? 7? [18:27] emuhelp: Did you ever see an "out of disk" error from grub? [18:27] escott, thank you! [18:27] Ran Windows Vista [18:27] guys I have installed ms office 2010 through latest playonlinux on ubuntu 12.04 and would like to open .doc/.docx files with ms word by default. the problem is that when I right click on a .doc or .docx file and select open with other application I can't find playonlinux or ms word on the list and there is no custom command option anymore.. I also tried to create a .desktop file (copied from libreoffice writer and edited) in .local/share/application [18:27] s/ but that's not in the list either [18:27] Can we restore ubuntu to a previous date?? [18:28] No 'out of disk' error. My research says Grub2 doesn't have that problem since it bypasses the BIOS totally -that was only GRUB legacy. [18:28] does anybody here use a widget system (screenlets desklets etc?) I can't decide my mind on witch to use [18:28] emuhelp: If you want to get your Ubuntu install booted quickly and easily, try booting via Super GRUB2 Disk 2.00 beta1. [18:28] emuhelp: dude, you are making this WAY too comples [18:28] *complex [18:29] Antonis: you installed microsoft office on ubuntu? using wine I assume? [18:29] emuhelp: grub2 *can* bypass the BIOS with its own native drivers, it doesn't do so by default though. [18:29] Antonis: openoffice/libreoffice opens .docx files [18:29] notk0, using playonlinux [18:29] beandog: Perhaps, but I just don't know any other way. :( [18:29] I know they do but I want microsoft word 2010.. [18:29] Antonis you don't need that [18:30] jordan: That's useful knowledge -didn't know that. [18:30] I enjoy working with the rulers on ms word and prefer it that's not the problem [18:30] Antonis: can you launch microsoft office tho? [18:30] the problem is that there is no custom command anymore and I want it to open those filetypes by default [18:30] notk0, yes without problems [18:30] Hey [18:30] right now I have to launch it and open the document I want to edit.. but I would prefer to open it with a double click =) [18:31] Antonis: well I haven't used wine in a while, but you can create a custom command yourself, [18:31] Antonis: I think wine associates .exe files by default so you can point it to the exe ? [18:31] where you installed your office [18:31] how do I do that? [18:33] notk0, conky or screenlets [18:33] escott, conky!! [18:33] hi there.i tryed to install openoffice.org-headless on precise server edition,unable to locate packages [18:33] conky+lua > screenlets.. but that's just me [18:33] googled,but cant find anything [18:33] dcullen: find anything on my weird root issue thing? [18:35] escott: isn't coky for fancy graphics stuff like cubes? [18:36] notk0, any of them can be used with compiz when done properly, but they dont have to be [18:36] Antonis: when you intstalled MS office on linux, you installed it somewehre, there must be a folder that is considered as C: for wine [18:36] escott: ubuntu still install compiz nowdays ? [18:36] are there any openoffice ppa?or just this libreoffice stuff? [18:36] TheWhiteHatter: I don't know what to say, I'm still thinking [18:36] what is ppa? [18:37] notk0, the problem is that I don't know where to put that command! [18:37] lol, I always seem to end up with the problems no-one has ever had before [18:37] 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] how do I assign that command to .doc files? [18:37] 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] TheWhiteHatter: When was the last time you _could_ edit files? [18:37] notk0, compiz is used by unity-3d [18:37] Well this is a pretty fresh install, so this is one of the first times I've tried [18:38] I can edit all the stuff I normally use, like Documents and stuff [18:38] and I can install things with apt-get [18:38] but can't edit / [18:38] 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] 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] So... wipe it and reinstall? [18:38] 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: Wait, what? apt-get writes to the file system, for crying out loud. [18:38] TheWhiteHatter: can't edit what? [18:39] can't edit / [18:39] !sudo | TheWhiteHatter are you not using sudo when you need to be? [18:39] TheWhiteHatter are you not using sudo when you need to be?: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:39] I can only edit stuff in /home/Home [18:39] TheWhiteHatter: How about you run "strace 2>&1 | tee strace.log" and give us a pastebin link of the output [18:39] Yes, I know about sudo and gksudo [18:40] TheWhiteHatter: You'll probably have to install strace using apt-get [18:40] Antonis: when you installed wine didn't it ask you what folder to set up as your C drive? [18:40] how about sudo nautilus? [18:40] it says, ambiguous redirect [18:40] wildwind: parted agrees with df [18:40] something like this? [18:40] strace gedit / 2>$1 | tee strace.log === cargo23_ is now known as cargo23 [18:41] Antonis: how are you starting microsoft office right now? [18:41] my / is 91Gb, my home is 65gb, and I cannot see what's taking up space [18:41] TheWhiteHatter: You're trying to edit your root directory? [18:41] TheWhiteHatter: &1, not $1 [18:41] TheWhiteHatter, why would you gedit /? [18:41] why would you make your root that big [18:41] 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] you said [18:41] I assumed you meant text editor === bemu_ is now known as bemu [18:41] TheWhiteHatter: I thought you said you could edit any files [18:42] TheWhiteHatter: Yes, but he also said and you passed it a directory. [18:42] TheWhiteHatter: Is this a problem starting Nautilus? [18:42] Antonis: open with and add a new program that you set up as default? [18:42] I can read, but not write [18:42] Antonis: use custom command? [18:42] notk0, that's the problem.. I am not able to use a custom command in ubuntu 12.04 [18:42] there is no custom command field anymore [18:42] what do I put in [18:42] urlwolf: you probably should do fsck [18:42] Antonis: really? because I have it [18:42] TheWhiteHatter: What are you trying to change under / ? [18:42] TheWhiteHatter: How about this: strace 2>&1 | tee strace.log [18:42] wildwind: what would that do? [18:43] Antonis: can you take a screenshot of your open with add application window? [18:43] this is an SSD, btw [18:43] well, I need to add a file to /sys/devices/virtual/thermal to enable my second fan (only 1 is running) [18:43] notk0, already did.. sec [18:43] 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] TheWhiteHatter: You can't add a file to /sys, it's a virtual file system [18:44] urlwolf: fix file system errors, including amount of free space [18:44] 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] So how do I add a file to it? [18:44] urlwolf: there may be errors or may not [18:44] escott, TheWhiteHatter, You can't add a file to /sys or /proc [18:44] Is there anything I can do? [18:44] notk0, http://i.imgur.com/uzapQ.png [18:44] at all? [18:44] TheWhiteHatter: Files in /sys and /proc get added by the kernel and the device drivers [18:44] TheWhiteHatter: what are you even trying to do? [18:45] One of my fans is not working [18:45] 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] when talking to L3top, he said it may be because a file was deleted in the directory [18:45] when I added fancontrol [18:45] 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] wildwind: do I have do do it on an unmounted filesystem? [18:45] :/ [18:46] so how do I do that? [18:46] urlwolf: also there may be some dir you (and baobab) can't access [18:46] it's the root dir [18:46] TheWhiteHatter: You can't delete a file from /sys or /proc [18:46] should I be able to add files to /? [18:46] du -bh --max-depth=1 doesn't show it [18:46] TheWhiteHatter: You should be able to do something like "sudo mkdir /mydir" [18:46] k I did that, now what [18:46] TheWhiteHatter: But you will not be able to do something like "sudo mkdir /sys/mydir" or "sudo mkdir /proc/mydir" [18:47] ah [18:47] I see [18:47] 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] so how do I fix the fan [18:47] Antonis: well that is quite a shame, I think I found your solution [18:47] wildwind: can I run fsck on a mounted fs? (/) [18:47] notk0, where exactly is it? I am running ubuntu 12.04 64bit [18:47] notk0, please tell me [18:47] Antonis: but I am not sure it will work, but you can always revert [18:47] okay.. [18:48] urlwolf, no [18:48] urlwolf, unless it is mounted ro [18:48] Antonis: what is the default text editor in ubuntu 12.04? it seems gedit is no more [18:48] 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] nope [18:48] notk0, it is gedit [18:48] thanks dcullen [18:48] Antonis: it is? you have gedit? [18:48] notk0, yeap [18:48] so if there's a mistmatch in df, du and baobab, ... fsck will fix it? [18:48] TheWhiteHatter: I wish I could do more, but that is a nasty bug [18:49] urlwolf: yes === k1l_ is now known as k1l [18:49] urlwolf, probably not. they are probably reporting different things [18:49] anyone able to download this: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kdepim/akonadiconsole_4.8.4a-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb ? [18:49] TheWhiteHatter: There is one more possibility, do you know the name of the driver that handles your fans? [18:49] urlwolf: I mean no, you should unmount [18:49] 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] luckily I keep a sabayon partition :) [18:49] 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] Antonis: actually do a backup first maybe? [18:49] what exact commands should I use (ext4)? === belluzzo is now known as mbelluzzo [18:50] 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] 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] muh2000: 404 [18:50] b636bc7ca: ok thnx. [18:50] TheWhiteHatter: If you don't know the name of the driver, give us a pastebin of the output of "lsmod" [18:50] 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] urlwolf: I think you should run fsck on partition, not on / [18:50] seems like that mirror is broken somehow :( [18:50] i cannot update :( [18:50] wildwind: yes [18:50] TiZ, is it a laptop with nvidia optimus? [18:50] Hello every body [18:51] I can boot into sabayon, and do fsck on /dev/sda1 which has ubuntu [18:51] muh2000: I see 0ubuntu0.2, though [18:51] it's 100% [18:51] Antonis: did it work? [18:51] notk0, I already tried what you suggested but I am not sure what to edit.. [18:51] but the /home dir is only 65% [18:51] b636bc7ca: i dont understand [18:51] I have no idea where the rest of the space went [18:51] escott: No, just a desktop. I'm just trying to get triple head up and running, and happen to have only two usable display ports on both the onboard intel and the nvidia card. [18:51] 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] du and baobab do not agree with df [18:52] b636bc7ca: now i get it. [18:52] muh2000: http:////de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kdepim/akonadiconsole_4.8.4a-0ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb [18:52] Antonis: do you have a line that is application/msexcel=libreoffice-writer.desktop ? [18:52] TiZ, then with a complicated xorg.conf you probably could get it to work, but there will be issues. especially with acceleration [18:52] oops, too many forward slashes [18:52] I mean [18:52] msword [18:52] sorry, too many /'s [18:52] etc [18:52] dcullen:http://pastebin.com/jXEXZ7Mh [18:52] for excel files there is this line I think application/x-excel=libreoffice-calc.desktop so if I create an excel.desktop file should I change it to excel.desktop? [18:52] escott: delightful. :< [18:52] b636bc7ca: i am trying to apt-get dist-upgrade and all the files are 404 ... :( [18:52] and will it work if I put the .desktop file in home ~/.local/shared/applications rather than /usr ? [18:52] Antonis: it means open excel files with libre-office etc so try replacitng [18:53] meaning there is some error somewhere :( [18:53] libreoffice-writer.desktop with the location of your microsoft office word exe [18:53] so no .desktop file but the whole command to run word? [18:53] ok let me try [18:53] muh2000: it would be so much useful that you show us the actual terminal output [18:53] 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] Antonis: paste what command you have here first [18:53] muh2000: apt-get update ? [18:53] ok will do a fsck -yfv [18:53] stop me if that's wrong :) [18:53] this is the command: /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2010" [18:53] urlwolf: ok boot to sabayon and check du output first [18:54] k [18:54] brb [18:54] TheWhiteHatter: I think you fan is handled by coretemp [18:54] 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] okay [18:54] _your_ fan [18:54] Antonis: are you still here? I may have found a easier solution ? [18:54] TheWhiteHatter: run "modinfo coretemp" and add that to the pastebin [18:54] TiZ, you would need a second set of input devices as well (or a switch device) [18:55] Antonis: you have to relog for changes to take effect or something [18:55] b636bc7ca: already did that.... apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade is what i always do. xangua: [18:55] escott: That's way too much of a pain. [18:55] Fehl http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main libtiff4 i386 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.2 404 Not Found [18:55] notk0, tell me [18:55] fresh install of ubuntu. how do i turn on ssh and config it? [18:55] muh2000: and the output is... [18:55] Antonis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/72957/file-application-association-using-a-custom-command-is-gone [18:55] urlwolf: I'd start with fsck -n [18:55] Gallomimia: sudo ap-get install openssh-server [18:55] Gallomimia: apt-get install openssh-server and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [18:56] muh2000: Looks like maybe de.archive.ubuntu.com is out of date [18:56] s/ap-get/apt-get/ [18:56] Gallomimia: I recommend adding "AddressFamily inet" and "UseDNS no" [18:56] muh2000: I can fetch that file from us.archive.ubuntu.com just fine [18:56] Antonis: I found yet another solution [18:56] 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] whats a nice chat client for ubuntu, are you guys using xchat with gnome? [18:56] notk0, let me try the one you just showed me! [18:56] peugi: xchat is great [18:56] xangua: that was the output [18:57] b636bc7ca: seems like it :( and i am too lazy to change the mirrors :( [18:57] escott: Oh, no. I intend to just use nouveau. [18:57] dcullen: yeah i like it, but it looks kind of boring [18:57] muh2000: lol [18:57] escott: Mesa will be the only GL implementation on my system. I just want the three displays. [18:57] peugi: To what are you comparing it? [18:57] am too lazy to change the mirrors - Software Center - Edit menu - Sources [18:57] am too lazy to change the mirrors - Software Center - Edit menu - Sources muh2000 [18:57] TiZ, then it might work. give it a try. i think you will need to hand edit your xorg.conf [18:58] escott: I'm not afraid to do that, I started in Hardy. :P [18:58] notk0, and the other solution? I think this one worked but now I am facing a playonlinux related problem :\ [18:58] xangua: it is easier with vim than editing every single source [18:58] coucou les tarlouzes :) [18:59] Kalis : english [18:59] or just use sed on /etc/apt/sources.list === dragonwolf is now known as slaveship [18:59] ha.. fuck xd [18:59] so i'm here to stay [18:59] Antonis: witch one worked? what problem ? [18:59] smbdy wntz some shcweppes with me [18:59] dcullen: I'm not really comparing it to anything ... I noticed you can do backgrounds and transparencies, I just wish it had sexy ui like unity or something [19:00] notk0, the mimeopen command worked but I have this problem now http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100643/ [19:00] Antonis: you did the first one as well? [19:00] Kalis : /list [19:00] notk0, no.. only the mimeopen [19:00] 12611 chan Kalis ^^ [19:01] !fr | Kalis [19:01] Kalis: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [19:01] is there a way to find out what my graphics card is? [19:01] i know Pici [19:01] just want to sux :p [19:01] slaveship: lspci | grep -i vga [19:02] thanks [19:02] damn software center is not very informative when it gets slow. whats happening to the install? okay finally it stopped :/ [19:02] big help [19:03] Antonis: do you have a shortcut/icon for microsoft office? [19:03] how do i find out what version of x.org i have? [19:03] notk0, yes I do.. that's where I found the command [19:03] updating works with a dutch mirror :) [19:03] Antonis: can you drag a .doc file to it ? does it work? [19:03] notk0, to what? to the icon? let me see === nick is now known as Guest13936 [19:04] notk0, no nothing happens.. they told me to use the command playonlinux but it gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100652/ and the cursor keeps blinking but nothing opens [19:05] Antonis: err what did you do? [19:06] I used playonlinux as the command instead of the word command (that's what they told me on playonlinux channel) [19:06] but the help there isn't that good =) [19:06] peugi: Are you using gnome-xchat or just plain xchat? [19:06] peugi: I think you can do transparency with plain xchat [19:06] Antonis: can you try dragging cv.doc to the microsoft word icon ? === tyler is now known as Guest8011 [19:06] notk0, I did but nothing happens [19:07] dcullen: I'm using xchat-gnome is that what I should be using? or the xchat? I like the notifications integration with this one [19:07] Antonis: where is winword.exe? where did you install it? [19:07] I think you have more options with pure xchat [19:07] Hi there, quick question: I started my windows box with an ubunut CD in, now I am in ubuntu as a "try ubuntu before installing" mode. I want to install an Ubuntu partition now. When I do that, will I lose all files I created in my /home dir? [19:08] peugi, personally I believe gnome-xchat is a crime against xchat :P [19:08] 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] Guest8011: you created files while on the live cd? [19:08] notk0, give me a sec [19:08] yes [19:08] yes I did. like an SSH key [19:08] Guest8011: I think you will lose them [19:08] Guest8011, you should copy those files to some permanent storage [19:08] haha I will try that one then thanks [19:09] bummer [19:09] escott: the live cd puts those files on ram storage ? [19:09] Thanks guys, no big loss\ [19:09] notk0, yes [19:09] Have a good day! [19:09] escott: does it put them on a hdd in certain cases? if it finds a linux compatible partition ? like the swap? [19:09] I'm using linux now, i've quit windows [19:09] Guest8011: if you make a custom layout you can deselect the button format and than you don't lose your /home directory! [19:09] peugi: Yes, pure xchat has the ability to set a background image and the transparency under Settings->Preferences [19:09] slaveship: good for you [19:10] HOORAY! [19:10] i'm still a noob but i'll get there [19:10] Thank you balduin [19:10] notk0, well swap is not recoverable in general, so unless you explicitely save them or have a persistent liveUSB they are gone [19:10] 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] Guest8011, thats different. thats if you have a permanent /home already. you don't yet have that [19:10] argh. whats wrong with my download location. uh can someone remind me how to pick what mirror im fetching from? [19:11] Antonis: I don't have much time to help you, I think there should be a hidden folder in your home folder that is considered the C drive for wine maye in .wine IDK [19:11] Oh! Too good to be true [19:11] Antonis: ask in the playonlinux support how it configures wine, what folder it consideres it's C drie [19:11] 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 [19:12] Gallomimia: For Ubuntu Software Center look at settings [19:12] notk0, found it! /home/antonis/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14 [19:12] swc is a little slow for me [19:12] 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] command line easy way? [19:12] escott: swap is not recoverable ? does it write 0 bytes to it before it unmounts it [19:12] Antonis: do you have a wine command? type wine in terminal ? [19:13] well what you all say makes sense, gonna cross my fingers [19:14] how do i know what version of ubuntu i'm using? [19:14] 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] !version | slaveship [19:14] 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 » [19:14] ty [19:14] 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] slaveship: You're welcome. [19:14] 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?) [19:15] escott: but it is in no way destroyed, if you were to search you may recover it [19:15] hi === dcullen is now known as dcullenAFK [19:15] swap is used to swap unused ram? is it even used on modern systems? [19:15] testing irc for the first time [19:15] 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] last time my ram was full is when I had a memory leak in an application [19:15] bb42: can you run top and see what is chewing up your cpu? [19:15] really helpful [19:16] Yatoth: It is working [19:16] escott: is swap actively used even if my RAM is not even 30 % full? [19:16] so any has faced shutdown issues with 12.04? [19:16] notk0, I have but it wont open the word exe file.. [19:16] what is terminal command for updating? [19:16] notk0, probably not, but check with free -m [19:16] wolfgang, apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and if necessary apt-get dist-upgrade [19:16] escott: it is free, maybe I shouldn't even use a swap partition [19:17] Thankyou [19:17] i am facing some shutdown issues and need some help [19:17] 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] Antonis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67382/add-custom-command-in-the-open-with-dialog [19:17] Antonis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6765/how-to-associate-a-file-with-a-program-installed-in-wine [19:17] i cant seem to boot up graphical software center. can someone describe how to change my mirror from command line? [19:17] 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] thank you very, very much notk0 !! [19:17] shutdown issues ? [19:18] Gallomimia, edit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:18] escott: I'm starting to adopt the same attitude [19:18] Antonis: if you come in here I may check back tomorrow [19:18] 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 [19:19] escott: isn't there a rescue terminal that is accessible in case you have to kill a program? [19:19] hi to all :3 [19:19] Hi Michele [19:19] notk0, I will =) [19:19] hi can anyone tell me how to best install drivers i downloaded from Samsung website for my printer? [19:19] notk0, thats what i did last night ctrl-alt-f1 to get to tty1 [19:19] bb42: some sort of plugin container... ps aux | grep plugin [19:19] escott: if you have a memory leak it will spread to swap as well right? [19:20] PrinzPfeifi: the site should have install instructions [19:20] bb42, flash plugin container [19:20] shocker [19:20] whats the equivalent of ctrl+alt+del in ubuntu [19:20] notk0: Yes, but as swap is slower you'll have more time to respond before the OOM killer kicks in. [19:20] !sysrq | Yatoth [19:20] 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 [19:21] Yeah seems like that... thats weird [19:21] ubotu thanks for the link [19:21] Jordan__: even if all your ram is full and swap as well, the system is still responsive no? you can still recover [19:21] Jordan__: I remember recovering from a fork bomb without any limitation to spawn processes or anything [19:21] notk0, it was painful last night. took about 5 minutes to get to tty1 [19:22] escott: oh [19:22] notk0, but eventually i got there, and was able to kill stuff [19:22] 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] anyway have to go eat then sleep see you guys [19:22] 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] Jordan__: I didn't know that [19:22] !tab | notk0 [19:22] notk0: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:22] guys.,suggest some real good linux podcasts [19:23] Jordan_U: my bad, I just used the first auto completed ones and wasn't talking to you [19:23] !ot | Yatoth [19:23] Yatoth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:23] I didnt notice it wasn't you Jordan_U [19:23] notk0: :) [19:23] is there any other plugin for videos on youtube for firefox which consumes less system ressources? [19:23] now I have to press tab twice! anyway see you guys [19:23] bb42, you can go to youtube.com/html5 and enable html5 [19:23] bb42: http://youtube.com/html5 [19:24] bb42: no [19:24] ok guys [19:24] escott: how will that take less memory? [19:24] aaas: drwx------ [19:24] i am facing some shutdown issues off late after upgrade to 12.04? [19:24] wildwind thanks [19:24] is this a known issue?

[19:24] now i remember why i didnt get this system set up with linux of any kind. its too damn slow [19:25] hi i just installed xubuntu 12.04lts and everytime i install a program or pacakages from software centre i get this blank debconf box, what does it mean please help frens [19:25] is that a bug ? [19:25] escott: I use chrome, and I don't use youtube all that often either. [19:25] shutdown freezes [19:26] any remedies? [19:26] how can i type that tilde symbol? [19:26] ~ Ah ok got it [19:26] PrinzPfeifi: It's usually shift + the key to the left of '1' [19:27] Yatoth, likely an acpi issue [19:27] 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] acpi issue? [19:27] 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 [19:28] exit [19:28] Bye [19:28] please anyone help me, i get blank debconf box evrytime i insatll a program , how to fix it === ScarabeyBear is now known as Glavutadamuidesh [19:30] oh god console commands i am lost ^^ [19:30] anyone german here who can help me?

Can anyone recommend a good provider of Dyn DNS? Ideally it would be free. [19:45] if this is not the place to ask, please let me know where a good place is [19:46] sneakyimp: dyndns [19:46] sneakyimp: dyndns.org [19:46] $20/yr worth it? [19:46] there's a free one [19:46] somewhere [19:46] sneakyimp: I don't pay anything for mine [19:47] dyndns.org redirects to http://dyn.com/dns now -- looks like $20-29 per year [19:47] http://www.dyndnscommunity.com/questions/21580/from-dyn-what-happened-to-free-accounts.html [19:47] looks like free is gone [19:47] sneakyimp, supposedly there is still a free service level (even for non-grandfathered accounts) but the CC is now required for activation [19:48] escott: ty. lame! [19:48] sneakyimp: there's more out there though [19:48] beandog: agreed...but not sure who is reputable or whether it's strictly necessary to spend money on it [19:48] sneakyimp: http://www.no-ip.com/personal/ [19:48] is there a way to lighten the load of the gui and startup? this poor computer can't handle this much crap starting on login [19:48] Weird, why did I get banned from the channel? [19:49] sneakyimp, ie you have to "trial" the paid service, and if you cancel by hand delivering a letter to santa at the north poll, they will let you keep one free dns entry [19:49] I need to replace several matches of 1 word for another word in multiple files, I'm using: sed 's/old/new/g' *.php but it is replacing only the last word at the end of the file? why? how can I fix it?

[19:51] aFeijo, it should be changing everything. are you confused by the fact that sed is a stream editor so its dumping the changed version to stdout [19:51] escott, sed -i save into the same file, yet, only the last word hehehe.

You set "Required-Start" to whatever you need (e.g. $bluez or whatever) [19:58] Guest81071, impossible to say. if you unplug it it could last for years [19:58] are songs free on the ubuntu one music store [19:59] UnknownFork no [19:59] actually i am in bad financial conditition any tips for a very low budget pc that will run ubuntu ??

[20:02] Guest81071, why not just buy a new hard drive. thats the cheapest option. [20:03] my pc is actually 5yrs old [20:03] well guest im using ubuntu in p4 , 1/2GB ram pc, which i bought for just 350 myr or +- 100 us or something [20:03] i wanna replace everything it has broken cabinet also [20:03] Guest81071: Mine is 11 :) [20:04] Guest81071: it could die at anytime no one can say how long [20:04] Guest81071, hard drive + case can be done for <$100. except for used you wont find anything cheaper [20:04] Guest81071: storage is cheap right now. It would be cheaper to buy a new hdd than a whole new machine [20:04] well fren do i have to type the " AND " ?

[20:10] Guest81071, thats hardware, nothing to do with Ubuntu support. go to ##hardware [20:11] can u give the link for hardware [20:11] 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] Guest81071, ##hardware <------ its a channel [20:12] asmonaut, if you are using logrotate for apache logs you could probably ask logrotate to rotate the apache logs [20:12] Anyone in here running Ubuntu on a BeagleBoard-xM?

[20:18] burckley: You may have to install ntfs-3g [20:18] escott: ah it was beandog [20:18] Antonis: I guess you didn't make one [20:19] yo [20:19] beandog: thanks for no-ip tip, i'll be using them [20:19] right on :) [20:19] how to install ntfs-3g [20:19] ? [20:19] burckley, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [20:19] dcullen, I usually only run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [20:20] do you keep backups everytime?

You may have to manually mount the partition [20:20] failed miserably after following a random guide on the net [20:21] COuld you recommend one? [20:21] burckley, have you tried "udisks --mount /dev/sdX#" where X# is the correct device and partition number [20:21] !ubuntu [20:21] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

Any tips on fixing this? [20:21] burckley: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/ /mnt/point [20:21] dcullen, so what should I do now? === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick [20:22] escott: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: you must specify the filesystem type [20:22] Antonis: You have several options. You can file bug reports on the problematice packages [20:22] The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. [20:22] The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. [20:22] Uops [20:23] dcullen, well I am not sure what the problem might be.. is it firefox? is it flash? [20:23] Antonis: Or you can make a backup of your /home directory and re-install the known-good O/S [20:23] !java [20:23] 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] ntfs signature is missing and failed to mount /dev/sda1 invalid argument [20:23] burckley, you might want to boot into windows and run chkdsk [20:23] dcullen, why should I reinstall the whole OS? [20:23] escott: i can't it's password protected [20:23] burckley: Can you give us a pastebin of the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount'? [20:23] ok [20:23] Antonis: Because the new O/S appears to be broken? [20:24] Antonis: ...and you don't have a backup? [20:24] 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] anyway i losed my old configuration thanks to OPEN JAVA SDK VERSION 6 [20:24] fuck JAVA [20:24] dcullen, what new O/S? I didnä't upgrade from a previous version [20:24] any idea about gnome-settings-daemon going hog wild on my cpu? [20:24] escott, burckley: I wouldn't go that far. I've used Linux to handle problems with NTFS drives since 2005 [20:24] I just updated the sources and run apt-get upgrade to update (maybe) firefox and other applications/files/libs etc. [20:25] I was running ubuntu 12.04 and I am still running ubuntu 12.04 [20:25] 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] !language | pavlz [20:25] pavlz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:25] You said: [16:19] dcullen, I usually only run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [20:25] 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] http://pastebin.com/qNSkr6CB [20:26] 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] dcullen, yes.. that doesn't mean I upgraded from a previous version [20:26] 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] NTFS support on Linux is very mature and stable, escott [20:26] Antonis: Yes, but you probably upgraded from 12.04.0 to 12.04.1 [20:26] giiker: i can't use chdsk as the windows system is password protected. [20:27] giiker: can't login... [20:27] 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] there seems no option for mounting them together as /dev/md0 [20:27] burckley: can you burn one of those rescue systems iso images and boot it from there? [20:28] I have a question about LXC. Is there any known method to escaping a container using its technology? [20:28] giiker: unfortunately not [20:28] 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] 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] escott: login only [20:28] dcullen, how do I check? [20:28] i use GNASH, No-Script and get_flash_videos [20:28] burckley: What happens if you run "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/"? [20:29] dcullen, that wouldn't be an upgrade and 12.04.1 is not out anyway [20:29] burckley: I never had problems running chkdsk with password protected winblows systems [20:29] ? my chosing? [20:29] . [20:29] burckley, yes, just sudo mkdir /mnt/mountpoint first [20:29] Antonis: What does "lsb_release -r" produce? [20:30] Release: 12.04 [20:30] Anyone explain Unity Web Apps to me? [20:30] glebihan: Then what Ed Zachary does "apt-get upgrade" do? [20:30] Taev, have you installed mdadm? [20:30] Taev, or rather are you using the alternate installer [20:30] dcullen, it upgrades packages, it doesn't go from one release to another [20:30] !alternate | Taev [20:30] 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] burckley: Have you run ntfsck on /dev/sda1 ? [20:30] .logout [20:30] .login pass [20:31] IronSym, hi [20:31] glebihan: OK. I thought it did more than that. [20:31] Hello, I have a F3Sv 240 Dr laptops and I use Ubuntu 11.04. I have a problem for a long time which both wireless and bluetooth leds are always open, I can switch off the button but both are still led is on... please help me :/ [20:31] i guess ill try that, but the last ubuntu i installed had a create software raid option in the normal graphical install [20:31] escott http://pastebin.com/KsFvXy24 === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [20:31] dcullen: 1 moment [20:31] glebihan: So, semantically, apt-get upgrade means "apt-get upgrade all packages to the latest version"? [20:32] Taev, i believe they may have taken that out because of space constraints (harder and harder to fit it on one CD) [20:32] Antonis: Since you only upgraded packages, you can methodically downgrade packages one by one until you get Firefox working again [20:32] dcullen, not quite all packages, only those for which the upgrade doesn't require the installation or removal of other packages [20:32] Antonis: You might start looking at the Firefox dependencies using aptitude [20:32] good luck with apt-get upgrade I tried that and the Adept upgrade [20:33] completely hosed my system [20:33] 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] http://pastebin.com/EDMx3Dc6 [20:33] 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] escott: dcullen ntfsck ^ [20:33] yeah ive never had it successfully work once [20:34] dcullen, which is a joke, as apt-get upgrade is basically the safest upgrade possible [20:34] 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] burckley: I'm afraid your NTFS partition appears to be hosed, at least Linux thinks so [20:34] dcullen, apart from individually picking every package to upgrade [20:34] dcullen: ntfsfix ? [20:35] Then why can i get on the login screen [20:35] burckley: you can try konboot to disable the password and then run chkdsk: google knboot [20:35] 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] burckley: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". [20:35] burckley: knoboot plays with indows kernel and disables the password, once inside windows, run chkdsk [20:36] dcullen: he still needs to boot into Winblows [20:36] burckley: You can try ntfsfix. But it might cowardly refuse to do anything if it can't find the NTFS magic thing [20:36] I might be mistaken, but letting Windows handle NTFS recovery with chkdsk seems the safest route to me. [20:36] Jordan_U: root@ubuntu:~# sudo blkid/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"/dev/sdb1: LABEL="PENDRIVE" UUID="D7F3-EE44" TYPE="vfat" [20:37] giiker: You can use SystemRescueCD to erase a Windows NT style password on 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 [20:37] burckley: http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/index2.html [20:37] dcullen: I know, but he wants to run chkdsk [20:37] giiker, burckley, Just use the ntpass utility on the SystemRescueCD [20:37] giiker, burckley, After you erase the password, you can force chkdsk using the magic keyboard combo (which I forget) [20:38] 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] !love [20:38] dcullen: forgot about SRcd's ntpass utility :b [20:38] burckley: just be carefull, if your NTFS is encrypted. [20:39] burckley: There's a bazillion ways to force chkdsk at boot [20:39] giiker: ntpass is verra nice [20:39] how would i use transmission (torrent-client) and at command to download a file at 02:30 in the morning? [20:39] burckley, i would think you can just hit shift on boot and select something from the windows boot menu to get it to chkdsk [20:40] burckley: Could you pastebin ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) the output of "sudo parted -l"? [20:41] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/FCS49bXX [20:42] burckley: "sudo parted -l" not "sudo -parted -l" [20:42] oopsy [20:42] burckley: wait, yo didn't active an external/storage drive after saving data on it, right? [20:42] oh sorry Jordan_U [20:42] giiker: ?? [20:44] http://pastebin.com/z5Hv1eDp [20:44] escott: I think I may have figured out my problem, if you're at all interested [20:44] b636bc7ca, sure im curious what it was [20:45] burckley: You are getting the same errors I got once when I had errors on my MFT. [20:45] ubuntu [20:45] 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" [20:46] b636bc7ca: o.O [20:46] b636bc7ca, what keymap was this? the loadkeys keymap? [20:46] burckley: This is somewhat of a shot in the dark, but try "sudo grub-mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/" [20:46] 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] escott: Yes [20:46] ubuntu [20:46] error: unknown filesystem. [20:46] burckley: Some how this happened when playing with gparted I marked a partition as Active. [20:46] Jordan_U: ^ [20:47] b636bc7ca, loadkeys is something ive never played with [20:47] /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz [20:47] burckley: Figures. Do you have any idea how the filesystem got into this state? [20:47] burckley: Did you ever try ntfsfix? [20:47] when I uncompressed it and looked at keycode 97, it showed that "AltGr" with all those Alts after it [20:47] giiker: wouldn't know the implications of either marking a partition as active or inactive/passive [20:47] burckley: If you can't get chkdsk to run, I'm not sure what else to try [20:48] Jordan_U: let's say the laptop fell off a truck and i have no idea about it's history :-) [20:48] oh dear, we aren't becoming accomplices to a crime are we? [20:48] burckley: jajaja!! [20:49] dcullen: nope [20:49] finders keeprs [20:49] http://pastebin.com/Kq3P5kJz for ntfsfix [20:49] i'll try the bypass [20:49] On another of my Ubuntu 12.04 boxes, keycode 97 is set to "AltGr" 128 times [20:49] 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] 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] ALso what if the partition is FAT32 ? [20:49] That is, "AltGr AltGr AltGr..." [20:49] giiker: i think i'll give konboot a try [20:50] But I'm not sure how that is set [20:50] Like, where does /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz come from in the first place? [20:50] ubuntu [20:51] ashton, what about it [20:51] bazhang: It's awesome, that's what [20:51] burckley: good luck, and if that dowsn't work just backup ur data and wipe that partition off [20:51] :D [20:51] burckley: That's bad news, man [20:52] dcullen: what is? [20:52] giiker: i see kon boot doesnt have a free version for windows 7... [20:52] 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] burckley: If ntfsfix failed to make any progress, the partition may be really bunged [20:53] How do I go about compiling this and installing it: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall ? [20:53] it's just one version, that I know of, and it says it works on Winblows 7 [20:53] andar_: Look in the output of "dmesg" or in "/var/log/dmesg". [20:54] 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] burckley: wait, just read the info, nop it doesn't [20:54] burckley: Yes, in fact that seeming most likely to me at the moment. [20:55] BUSTACAP: the instructions are detailed enough, I suggest following them? [20:55] burckley: Run boot info script and see what bootloader boot info script thinks the drive has. [20:55] !bootinfo | burckley [20:55] 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: i suspect the laptop was used in a big IT company that required SSD (?) cards to login the PC [20:55] burckley: I think it's possible for the partition to be encrypted. [20:56] dcullen: Sure, ntfs partitions can be encrypted [20:56] burckley: Windows could use a filter driver to decrypt just enough of the partition to get you to a login prompt [20:56] burckley: This is starting to get offtopic for #ubuntu. Do you mind moving this to #ubuntu-offtopic? [20:56] Can anyone recommend an small box to use as a media center with ubuntu? [20:57] dcullen: dmesg contains messages such as "new high-speed USB device" when i plug in a usb device.. is there supposed to be more? [20:57] Thanks for all the help. I will persue the recovery CD variant and try to run a chkdsk. THanks again for all the help and sorry if i wasted your time :-) [20:57] burckley: I'm curious to see the Boot info script results now. [20:57] burckley: no time wasted! [20:57] me too burckley [20:57] I will do that Jordan_U [20:57] I currently have eeebox eb1501, but ubuntu 12.04 dosn't work as good with it. [20:59] andar_: Do you see anything about USB HID in dmesg? Actually, just give us a pastebin of the contents of /var/log/dmesg [20:59] anyone have a work around for burning Ubuntu 12.04 with a Mac? seems they changed the way the ISO is created and now when i burn a copy it isn't a system/boot image … 10.04 works fine … but anything else doesn't … i don't have a Windows box to try it on [21:00] What is a good site to upload temporary desktop images to ? [21:00] MasterOfDisaster, I've never compiled and installed a source before. I just want to make sure I do it right. [21:00] Can anyone take a look at the samsung being sold on www.woot.com and tell me if the hardware is nicely supported? I heard samsungs are great with ubuntu right? [21:00] alusion: Go with Toshiba's [21:01] alusion: Toshiba or Asus [21:01] BUSTACAP: ah :) - not much to it though, mostly it's just discovering that you need additional *-dev packages to the dependencies listed :) [21:01] dcullen: ah there are some messages from HID about unknown symbol and unknown parameters for both the keyboard and mouse... i'll see if i can follow up on what is causing them [21:01] entricular, thanks I'll check them out when I go to microcenter [21:02] BUSTACAP: for installing, I suggest using checkinstall or fpm [21:02] MasterOfDisaster, I don't see any instructions to compile, just how to use the program o.O [21:02] BUSTACAP: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/tree/master/Linux [21:02] alusion: Try TigerDirect.com or NewEgg.com cheaper there [21:02] I scrolled down now and see lol [21:02] BUSTACAP: excellent [21:02] Alright folks, I gotta leave. Thanks for the laughs! [21:03] I get a checkinstall not found error though./ [21:04] Hey... did anyone ever try to install psx emulators on Ubuntu that can help? I tried both epsxe, which now works without any sound, and pcsxr, which fully works except doesn't seem to function with native controllers. [21:04] Mentifisto: I have a great on. [21:05] one* [21:05] MasterOfDisaster, sudo: checkinstall: command not found :/ [21:05] giiker: Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/XWngqtMu [21:05] BUSTACAP: apt-get install checkinstall [21:07] Is it possible to avoid a harddrive's sector by a way or an other === kracker[BDC] is now known as kracker|zombie [21:08] you can mark it with badblocks [21:08] BUSTACAP: did you read this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [21:10] I'm going to reboot [21:10] Mentifisto: http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ [21:12] http://pastie.org/4286257 [21:12] specifically: [21:12] The following packages have been kept back: [21:12] linux-image-virtual linux-virtual [21:13] why is it keeping back packages ? === axl__ is now known as axl_ [21:13] burckley: Could you please post a picture of the login screen you're seeing (to #ubuntu-offtopic) ? [21:13] Norrin, because you're running apt-get upgrade and not apt-get dist-upgrade [21:14] 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] glebihan, what can't upgrade install those upgrades? [21:14] Jordan_U: I'll try, if not i'll try tomorrow, depends if i find the data cable for my mobile... [21:14] Im trying to start X on ubuntu-server but I'm getting 'no screens found' , how do I tell it I will connect remotely ? [21:14] !dist-upgrade | Norrin [21:14] 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] 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] I'm sleeping at the office tonight so resources are scarce [21:15] Norrin, which is why you need dist-upgrade instead of upgrade [21:15] that's weird. i always though 'upgrade' handled dependencies [21:15] thought* [21:15] qubit[01]: sure you don't want to use a VNC server? [21:15] MasterOfDisaster, have you used heimdall? [21:15] BUSTACAP: nope [21:15] Norrin: it handles already installed dependencies [21:16] Is there a trick to burning 12.04 64-bit server to a DVD for installing on a server? [21:16] Has anyone here used heimdall? I'm getting an error although I did get it installed now. [21:16] Norrin, it doesn't, it can only upgrade already installed packages [21:16] i see [21:16] MasterOfDisaster: actually I really just need X to be running for certain libraries to run that use QT and Cairo [21:16] thanks auronandace & glebihan [21:16] Norrin, you're welcome [21:16] why is it called dist-upgrade is it doesn't upgrade the distribution? [21:16] worst command naming ever? [21:16] qubit[01]: what for? X forwarding not enough? [21:17] MasterOfDisaster, can you make any sense of this: http://pastebin.com/MNNVLBe4 [21:17] Norrin: legacy fluff from debian [21:17] MasterOfDisaster: X forwarding ? is that like xvfb and freinds ? [21:18] 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] qubit[01]: ssh -X user@host xterm <-- launches xterm on the remote host, but displays it on your local machine [21:19] !upgrade [21:19] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:19] BUSTACAP: seems to me like a permissions issue - check with strace [21:19] MasterOfDisaster: oh ok cool [21:19] j/ design [21:19] MasterOfDisaster, I don't know what that means o.O [21:19] typo [21:20] BUSTACAP: it most likely tries to access a device file in /dev, to which your user doesn't have the necessary permissions [21:20] MasterOfDisaster, but if i'm using sudo shouldn't it have enough permissions? [21:21] BUSTACAP: oh - yes, it should work then [21:21] MasterOfDisaster, if I don't use sudo it says failure to access device, if I do use sudo it gives me that error :( [21:22] BUSTACAP: nevertheless, strace is a debugging tool - it will tell you which files a program tries to access and what happened [21:22] 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] BUSTACAP: perhaps you just need to point it to the correct device [21:22] Norrin, coming from debian, that makes perfect sense, since debian doesn't have releases in the way ubuntu does [21:22] BUSTACAP: try this: strace -e open,stat -o output.xxx [21:23] i see. like gentoo i guess [21:23] MasterOfDisaster, bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [21:24] 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] I have a question about encryption: As far as I understand one can encrypt the whole disc except the boot partition. But doesn't leave this a big security hole? What if some bad guy gains access to my notebook while I'm away and e.g. takes out my harddisk, modifies some files on boot (installs an keylogger?) and puts it back into the notebook. Wouldn't this be possbile? I know that with Windows Truecrypt is able to encrypt the W [21:24] HOLE disk? [21:24] BUSTACAP: what exactly did you type? === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb === M1k1_ is now known as M1k1 === JPeterso2 is now known as JPeterson === _amiguete_ is now known as amiguete [21:32] MasterOfDisaster: yes you were right vnc4server is what I needed [21:32] cheers [21:33] dum did um dum di dum [21:34] ok, just wondering, if I've installed xubuntu does that mean I can have Lubuntu in xubuntu as well by installing the LXDE desktop environment? [21:34] Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me installing Sapphire HD 6870 ftibrtd? [21:34] drivers** [21:34] Because I did that, and it said there was a choice for the LXDE session [21:34] kiyoshiakira: sure - you can have as many DE/WM as you wish (space permitting) [21:35] kiyoshiakira: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop will get you the lubuntu session [21:35] Sweetness, I've never found a better operating system than Linux [21:35] kiyoshiakira: linux is a kernel, not an operating system.... just sayin' [21:35] Oh I know [21:35] !info lubuntu-desktop | kiyoshiakira [21:35] kiyoshiakira: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment.

Version 0.38 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 30 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; ia64; sparc; lpia; armel; armhf) [21:36] But even so...all linux operating systems are totally bangin [21:36] Wait how to install again? [21:38] Fun [21:38] Need a bit more ram though [21:38] And a bigger processor [21:38] <\Jan> how much ram do you have? [21:38] Got an old Compaq Presario [21:38] 512 mb [21:39] 1.5 gb processor [21:39] s/gb/ghz/ [21:39] oops [21:39] ghz [21:39] <\Jan> should be fine with a light desktop environment [21:39] lol [21:39] <\Jan> As long as you have a swap partition [21:40] Yeah, but I would like to go blazing fast I mean like Road Runner on crack [21:41] <\Jan> Install a lighter distro or spend time tweaking down ubuntu [21:41] <\Jan> ┐('～`；)┌ [21:42] install gentoo [21:42] have both [21:43] okay: gentoo... lol. [21:43] sure - why not LFS? [21:43] I hope..I'm not insulting anyone by the things I say, I don't usually say these things but was in the mood to make someone laugh [21:44] I've got Puppy Linux [21:44] And I've also got Tiny Core Linux [21:44] kiyoshiakira: I'm a recovering crack addict so... :\ [21:44] <\Jan> Gentoo is <@insomnia> it only takes three commands to install Gentoo [21:44] <\Jan> <@insomnia> cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi / [21:44] And damn small linux [21:44] I'm sorry okay [21:44] lol [21:44] <\Jan> <@insomnia> that's the first one [21:44] That was only the first one jan [21:44] It sounds..bad [21:44] <\Jan> hahaha [21:44] I'm sorry okay!!! [21:44] O.O [21:45] Like daughter to father [21:45] But anyway, (okay) I'm sorry [21:45] There [21:45] that's better [21:46] <\Jan> I don't think you have to manually edit grub anymore [21:46] \Jan: ah, brings back memories :) [21:46] erm... i realize it's probably a slightly dead moment, but what i'm seeing doesn't look much like Ubuntu support :P [21:46] I'm tellin ya, drugs don't do anything for you, even at the most depressing time in your life, it only makes things worse, even cigarettes made things worse for me [21:46] !ot [21:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:47] So what do I do now? [21:47] It installed [21:47] kiyoshiakira: /j ubuntu-offtopic :b [21:50] Do I just log out? And then come back in the lubuntu desktop? [21:51] For some reason Linux Mint isn't working on this computer IDK why it stays on the leaf looking thing [21:51] What does ubuntu think of the Lenovo Thinkpad? [21:52] A computer desktop environment that talks to you === decio_ is now known as Linix [21:54] Hey guys, I installed the xubuntu-desktop on top of Ubuntu 12.04 I messed up with the panels and now I don't quite like the way it is? is there a way to comeback to the default layout of the XFCE panels? [21:54] Ooooh I like Lubuntu session so much more [21:55] alusion: The thinkpads generally have strongly supported hardware in linux. [21:56] Linix: i don't use xfce so can't check. is there a ~/.xfce or ~/.config/xfce "like" folder? if so, try moving it to a new name and it might revert all your settings/changes [21:56] Linix, I would think the easiest way would be to create a new user... not sure if that is the answer you are going for. [21:57] L3top: I might do just that! Thanks zykotick9 anyways [21:59] I have two files (a source) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but I don't know how to remove them with ppa-purge.. private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_tiberiumalliances_ubuntu.list & private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_tiberiumalliances_ubuntu.list.save [21:59] how do I get the right name and subdirectory to remove them with ppa-purge? [22:00] can I call init functions without sudo ? [22:01] qubit[01]: elaborate... [22:01] Antonis: the easy way is just to sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; sudo apt-get update [22:01] L3top, I was told (by people in this channel) that the "right" way is to use ppa-purge [22:01] 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" [22:02] it reverts everything back to how it was before [22:02] 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] yeap [22:02] MasterOfDisaster: actually my fault, one second [22:02] Antonis: ppa-purge is certainly the way to go (if anything is installed from there!) [22:02] Antonis: it uses only that in /etc/apt/sources.list [22:03] !ppa-purge | L3top [22:03] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [22:03] L3top: that "revert your packages" is important [22:03] 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] And I never want them to go with the bathwater... so to speak. [22:03] zykotick9, the problem is that I am not sure what the repository-name is and what the subdirectory is.. [22:04] L3top: i think ppas are typically a bad idea. but that's just over conservative me! [22:04] private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_tiberiumalliances_ubuntu.list [22:04] Antonis: i see your problem from your previous post/paste... sorry man, i've never actually had to use ppa-purge... [22:05] qubit[01]: take a look at policykit, I suppose you can accomplish that task with it. [22:05] can anyone help me with internal mic problem? [22:05] MasterOfDisaster: ok will do [22:05] DenysLins: EEEPC? if not - then i can't. giving your model might help the channel though. and if it is an eeepc - you could reply with my nick if you supply your model. [22:06] Sorry for interfering with the "hacky" way I deal with the problem. [22:06] my model is acer 4736z with ubuntu 12.04 64bits [22:09] Can anyone help me with internal mic problem? Acer 4736z running ubuntu 12.04 64bits. [22:09] Hello everyone. I am trying to install Ubuntu on a windows 7 laptop but it is saying that there is not enough space... 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??? [22:10] 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) [22:11] do i need to delete hp tools? [22:12] Moogs: i "believe" OEMs are doing this on purpose - to disourage installing alternate OSes on there windows pre-loaded machines [22:12] OEMs? [22:13] Moogs: compaq/hp/dell/etc. Original Equipment Manufacturers [22:15] Oh okay. zybiski [22:15] zykotick9: it told me to create a backup then i could do it? [22:15] zykotick9: is this about normal? [22:17] 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] zykotick9: can we go back on topic, because i've already done what you didn't want to talk about. [22:18] zykotick9: how do i create an extended partition? [22:18] Moogs: so install into the extended partition - should be all good. [22:19] 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] is there any GUI to show manual pages? [22:19] gparted okay [22:20] * zykotick9 notes fdisk is disouraged in the man page for cfdisk [22:20] I was trying to install samba on my server, and I always get "size mismatch" error even tried "--fix-missing" with no luck. this is what I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100961/ any one have any idea how to fix this? [22:20] simplew: i don't know. but i think that is a funny question ;) "man man" [22:22] has anyone played postal2 on linux? [22:22] simplew: i was really hoping the answer would be in "man man" but it wasn't :(.. === myles is now known as Guest48690 [22:23] simplew: Yelp. [22:27] Moogs: Just let Ubuntu's installer create the partitions. It's smart enough to know that it needs to create an extended partition with logical partitions within it. [22:30] Jordan_U: but it can't - because there are already 4 primary partitions [22:30] hi [22:30] can someone point me to the error logs that would explain why 12.04 keeps freezing on me all the time? [22:30] is sudo shutdown safe? [22:31] how do i save the sources.list file in /etc/apt folder? [22:31] semitones: No, the computer could explode [22:31] i apparently corrupted the repo file :/ [22:31] thanks nannes... [22:31] semitones: sudo shutdown -h now is fine :) [22:31] I was just kidding [22:31] ^^ [22:31] semitones: "sudo shutdown" won't do anything/or what you expect. "sudo shutdown -h now" will turn off or -r for restart [22:32] i was reading on the lubuntu wiki that the only time it's safe to do is if you don't have any programs running [22:33] Phaba: You could simply replace it with another one, taken from a default ubuntu configuration [22:33] i need to add typesafe to it though, i just didnt add it correctly [22:34] heligoland: Freezes in the GUI are often due to video driver problems [22:34] nannes,i need to cold reboot every time [22:34] nannes, everything locks up [22:34] nannes,INTEL HD4000? I just got a new Ivy Bridge i5 [22:35] heligoland: Neither can you press ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to terminal? [22:35] nannes,nope [22:35] !intel [22:35] !intel [22:35] zykotick9: Moogs implied that they have already deleted one. [22:36] heligoland: You could have a look to xorg , dmesg and whatever log file [22:37] nannes, dmesg logs giving me a lot of usbctrl TimeOut!s [22:37] Oi [22:37] mm.. what about xorg one? [22:37] Alguem do Brasil [22:38] nannes,not seeing anything bad there. but my wifi does disconnect a lot [22:38] nannes, ever since i got a new wifi adapter [22:39] hey guys.. it is only me.. or this chat(one that comes with setup) is not stable :S [22:40] anyone that coul help me packaging ? [22:41] I have a bunch of zombie process that I need to kill, and cannot seem to get the right syntax for killall.. the process name is php /usr/local/xxxxx/dash/xxx jobQueue:process --env=prod . any iseas? [22:41] heligoland: You should reboot and not logging in to X, but simply switch to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 [22:41] To check which driver is in use for your VideoChip [22:41] trend: kill by pid? [22:41] yeah try that, use top [22:41] I need to kill a group [22:42] I was trying to install samba on my server, and I always get "size mismatch" error even tried "--fix-missing" with no luck. this is what I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1100961/ any one have any idea how to fix this? [22:42] i have not installed chinese language neither any translation chinese package, yet in "Langua Support" chinese appears listed along with my native lang, can anyone tell me i have chinese there where i dont have any chinese package installed and how to remove it???? [22:43] simplew: Check it in Synaptic, then, if there is, remove it [22:43] nannes, how do i do that [22:44] playman: try 'sudo apt-get update' first [22:44] Hello! I have bash file that I want to execute with root privileges. I don't like to type every time password. So, I changed owner from user to root, but it still asks for password to root every time. Are there any ways to enter it once and avoid inputting every time when I want to execute it? Thanks. [22:44] heligoland: lsmod (in terminal) lets you see which kernel modules are loaded by the system on every boot [22:44] nannes, please read what i said [22:44] playman: perhaps something in your local network setup is broken? are you using a proxy? [22:44] MasterOfDisaster: i've tried that couple of times, even "sudo apt-get clean" [22:44] shbk: Are you talking about executing it from the DesktopGraphicalEnvironment? :) === smw_ is now known as smw_work [22:45] MasterOfDisaster: nope just basic ethernet to router to phoneline [22:45] shbk: set up your sudoers file ('visudo') accordingly [22:46] can some one please give me a hand with a quick question on ubuntu 12.04 [22:46] nannes: I am not sure. For example it would be convenient to make update and upgrade in one step. So , I make a file with simple name "A" in /usr/bin and I can only type with letter.

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. [22:48] MasterOfDisaster: hmm ok i'll try that thanks [22:48] !oracle [22:48] me ajuda [22:48] !es [22:48] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

So, if you don't wanna write the root-pw everytime, you must login with root and run it from there (but it isn't suggested as for the security problems there could be) [22:49] ok [22:49] so can anyone help me? [22:49] nannes: eh, it would so convenient to type it once.... [22:49] shbk: You can't pretend to execute something with root privileges, without writing a pass .) [22:49] I thought maybe I can write somehow before [22:49] shbk: By default, using sudo you *do* need to type it once. [22:49] once [22:50] The other ones you're not asked to === gerlos is now known as gerlosv [22:51] shbk: As for the simplicity to type the command without depending on which path you're in, you could just use bash aliases :) [22:51] An alias is a bash custom command, which you can set to correspond to another command, so that you write the custom one for the execution of the second :) [22:52] Hey guys, I'm installing the restricted extras on lubuntu and while 'preparing ttf-mscorefonts-installer' it's showing me a eula in the "details" section [22:52] nannes: yeah, seems intereting. I can google instead of bothering you. But tell, can I eventually to what I want with it? [22:53] Which only has an "ok" option, it's been stuck here for 5min+ what do I do [22:53] Arsin: press the ok button [22:53] Arsin: maybe select it with "tab" first [22:53] Hah. THanks === nannes1 is now known as nannes [22:53] I've been highlighting it all this time [22:53] Arsin: you have to accept it because its non-free and a special licence is used [22:54] when a package is available for narwhal but not lucid lynx, that's because the binaries are not compatible? [22:54] (00:49:56) nannes: shbk: By default, using sudo you *do* need to type it once. [22:54] (00:50:01) nannes: The other ones you're not asked to... [22:54] (00:51:08) nannes: shbk: As for the simplicity to type the command without depending on which path you're in, you could just use bash aliases :) [22:54] (00:51:58) nannes: An alias is a bash custom command, which you can set to correspond to another command, so that you write the custom one for the execution of the second :) [22:54] (00:52:36) nannes: for example, if I set the alias "something" = sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:54] (00:52:54) nannes: every time I run "something" in terminal, those 2 commands are executed :) [22:54] nannes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:54] ie: can i download the .deb for narwhall and install it on lucid lynx? [22:54] Norrin: dont do that [22:54] Norrin: normally it will break stuff [22:54] Norrin: which package you need? [22:54] any reason why python3.2 is on narwhal but not lynx? [22:55] Norrin: because natty is newer [22:55] both still in support [22:55] Norrin: have you checked whether it's in backports? [22:55] Norrin: doesnt matter === gerlosv is now known as gerlos [22:55] MasterOfDisaster, no. that repo means less tested? [22:56] lol [22:56] Norrin: you will never get a major update inside a stable release, just security fixes (there are a few packages where you get major updates) [22:56] any1 here to help me pls?:) [22:56] iceroot, i see. that's starting to sound more like the real reason [22:57] I just tried to create the partition but it didn't work again.. it is stating the same thing about not having enough space... i have only system (119 mb), c (350 gb), unallocated (115.57 gb) [22:57] WelcomeEnd, that's a stupid question [22:57] Norrin: no, it means somebody put in the work to make a certain package's version introduced in a later revision work in an earlier. [22:57] Norrin: there are no stupid questions! [22:57] WelcomeEnd: no were all here to hate on you === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi [22:57] Norrin: just stupid answers [22:57] can i ask a question is a stupid question [22:57] thanks norrin xD [22:57] celthunder: stop that [22:57] the sooner they know that, the better [22:58] i saw that in my partitions on the linux partition drive, it showed sda1 has 0 bytes, sda2 had 199 mb, sda3 has 350 gig, sda4 has 115.57 gb and a little bit of free space [22:58] Moogs: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [22:58] Norrin: !ask is what you are looking for and not that kind of answer you gave [22:58] i am in windows [22:58] WelcomeEnd: just state what problem you have and what you tried already. [22:58] WelcomeEnd: feel free to just put your question on the line with usefull details [22:58] !ask [22:58] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [22:59] yup. exactly what i meant [22:59] Norrin: but with different words [22:59] how do i do that in windows? i am kind of confused [22:59] right. same meaning [22:59] Norrin: the answer from !ask is usefull, your answer was not usefull [22:59] Jordan_U: do you have any suggestions/ [23:00] Moogs, right click on my computer and go to 'manage' [23:00] then go to storage [23:00] so... who is well known with the bumblebee driver? my graphic card is gt540 m. my question is how (or wether) im able to run files like minecraft.jar via optirun? [23:00] iceroot: its implied, asking to ask is itself a question and anyone who doesnt know that probably cant read any answer of any sort anyway. [23:00] Moogs: Can you boot the Ubuntu LiveCD and run "sudo parted -l"? [23:00] well right now i am installing fedora, then installing ubuntu, so i don't have that disk ready [23:01] WelcomeEnd, better ask in #bumblebee here on freenode, those guys are up2date [23:01] someone on the ubuntu forums said to do it that way [23:01] there is a channel for that?:o thanks:) [23:01] Jordan_U: i am in the manage pat. [23:01] how do i add a new repo to the sources.list, i have the url i just dont understand what to type, as in deb-src http://urlrepo.com version? repotype? [23:01] part* [23:01] Phaba: vi /etc/apt/sources.list [23:01] how do i know what repo type to add it to and does the version of linux im running matter [23:02] Phaba: normally its not a good idea to mix repos from different ubuntu versions or more evil from debian [23:02] celthunder, im just sudo gedit, i dont know what i actually need other than the url [23:02] MasterOfDisaster, well if it was available for Lynx backports, it'd say so on this page? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=python3.2 [23:02] i just want to add typesafe so i can apt-get install sbt [23:02] Phaba: to find out your version "cat /etc/issue" [23:02] Phaba: fyi deb-src is not the same as deb, it doesn't supply packages, you'd need to build what is in there. [23:03] reet, so deb url myversion whatgoeshere? [23:03] Phaba: the repo name is the last [23:03] packages.ubuntu.com searches backports also? [23:03] Phaba: e.g. main universe or something like that [23:04] iceroot, yeh how do i know which one? just use main or universe? [23:04] Phaba: ask the maintainer of that repo [23:04] hmm k, thanks [23:04] Norrin: not by default, you have to choose backports from the dropdown list [23:05] Phaba: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsigc%2B%2B-2.0 that? [23:05] Phaba: seems to be the runtime called typesafe [23:05] iceroot, http://apt.typesafe.com/ === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:06] Phaba: debian [23:07] Phaba: http://typesafe.com/stack/download#deb [23:07] nannes: thanks, maybe it'd convenient [23:07] Phaba: http://apt.typesafe.com/repo-deb-build-0002.deb install that and then do what the page is saying [23:07] im trying to use unrar on multiple files at once with prefix*.rar and prefix* doesnt seem to work === kyt_ is now known as kyt_x [23:08] shbk: It is! :) Google 'bash alias' to know more! ;) [23:08] klj613: unrar foo*.rar? [23:08] right okie dokie, so i canny just add it the repo straight to the sources.list? [23:08] Phaba: read the page [23:08] Phaba: the package is configuring your sources === len is now known as Guest95644 [23:09] iceroot, it says "Extracting ...." (the first match) then says no files to extract and ends [23:09] Phaba: just download the deb double click on it and then run the two apt-get commands from the website [23:09] whilst extracting that file specifically it works [23:09] okay got it, i already installed the .deb file earlier through software center before editing the sources.list, il ldo it this way around and re-install [23:09] klj613: and "echo foo*.rar" is showing always the correct filenames? [23:10] any one with lua expirence? [23:10] iceroot, yes [23:10] i installed unrar-free btw [23:12] klj613: seems unrar cant handle mutliple files [23:12] Hi. How do I exit X in order to run Nvidia's own driver installer? [23:12] klj613: for a in foo*.rar; do unrar e "$a";done [23:12] BlackDalek: sudo service lightdm stop [23:12] BlackDalek: Why not use Jocky ( "Additional Drivers")? [23:13] BlackDalek: just install it with apt [23:13] thanks iceroot [23:13] iceroot, thanks! :) [23:13] BlackDalek: It's generally a bad idea to install Nvidia drivers manually. [23:13] * klj613 gives a virtual beer to iceroot [23:14] Could anyone help me with this problem? I am trying to install this distro, the only one on my system, and it is giving me a not enough space problem... but I have the space, the only thing I can think of is the sda1 being 0, any suggestions on hwo I can fix this problem so i can install the os? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:15] Moogs: Please boot a LiveCD/USB and pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [23:15] okay letm e load it up [23:15] i will be back on web irc [23:16] thanks alot iceroot, typesafe repo set up and sbt installed :D [23:16] would anyone know if there is a way to disable eog and totem from using dark theme on Gnome? (user preference, no modifying system themes) [23:16] much appreciated [23:16] nannes: if it hadn't ask for password yet, it would be just happiness.(I understand that alias cannot solve this) There should be some way. [23:17] shbk: Ohhhhh you mean to include the password in the command itself, so that you don't need to write it? [23:17] loooool === HiddenKnowledge is now known as Guest1946 [23:17] it's so unsecure [23:17] nannes, by the way, how? I am only one user of this computer [23:20] nannes, if only I use PC, can it be unsafe? [23:20] nannes, I can restrict to users read that file [23:20] shbk: It's anyway unsafe, cause there's the root password stored in clear into a fiile [23:21] the security power of linux is especially due to the system of privileges [23:21] you're completely breaking it [23:21] Jordan_U: what is the code again? [23:21] sudo parted -| ?? [23:21] Moogs: sudo parted -l [23:21] nannes, I will hide it somewhere deep. no one will find it) [23:22] shbk: Even restricting to less users, your own user *must* have the access. So, if any application has a security bug, the attacker has normal-user privileges. Doing that, you're making its life simpler to control your pc [23:22] Here is the report Jordan_U : http://pastebin.com/LwgLw93K [23:24] nannes: how will one find it? there are a lot of folders.... [23:24] shbk: you're putting it in bash aliases :o) [23:25] nannes: I will write it in bash file and put it somewhere [23:25] h! i have a question about setting up a lamp server [23:25] Moogs: Since I assume that you're running this from a Fedora LiveCD, run this: su -c "parted -l" [23:26] shbk: stop this useluss junk please we dont support such insecure things here [23:26] shbk: the path of it will be clear in bash_aliases, anyways :) you're breaking the system security [23:26] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/MNVfmrMr [23:26] can any one tell me where I can find a guide on how to install samba with wget? or how to change my mirrors? [23:26] is this also for xubuntu ? [23:26] it just joined auto, so kinda assuming it is. [23:27] Moogs: I thought that you had deleted one of the 4 partitions already. That does not appear to be true. [23:28] Hi! I have a question on setting up a lamp server [23:29] awolfson: Hi, what's your question? [23:29] i have [23:29] is this also for xubuntu ? [23:29] it just joined auto, so kinda assuming it is. [23:30] hello?? [23:30] aquestioner: * [23:30] Jordan_U: i did [23:30] !ask | aquestioner [23:30] aquestioner: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:30] Jordan_U: it is saying that it is used for some reason i don't know why [23:31] Jordan_U: the number 3 is free, so is the number 1 [23:31] sorry :/.... is there anyone who can help me set up a lamp server [23:31] Moogs: Parted is very rarely wrong. I think you're mistaken about what you've done. [23:31] aquestioner: what specifically are you having difficulty with? [23:32] awolfson: www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt [23:33] L3top: I need a place to host it on that I can use virtualbox or something to get into it via GUI... i have no idea how to do that === sudokode is now known as gtmantred [23:33] Jordan_U: what do you mean [23:33] 53 [23:33] sorry [23:35] Jordan_U: someone suggest i delete the free partition the number 3 so i can use it in the installation, do this during the custom partition [23:35] -Test- [23:35] Can anyone hear me? [23:35] Moogs: You currently have 4 Primary partitions. [23:35] Baralabite_: No. [23:35] :} [23:35] Baralabite_: read: yes, hear: no. Thankfully :D [23:35] aquestioner: I don't think VirtualBox is for remote administration. Look for a webhost supporting CPanel. [23:35] Yeah, VirtualBox isn't for remote admin [23:35] It's for emulation of another OS inside another [23:36] so how do i get rid of 2 of them [23:36] Jordan_U: how do i get rid of 2 of them [23:36] 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] 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] The modem itself is working fine, but when the modem is connected, the ethernet/wireless doesn't work [23:36] I determind that it doesn't work via 'ping x.x.x.x' [23:37] 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] Visa versa, so when the ethernet is plugged in, the 3G doesn't work [23:37] how do i use that? [23:37] Any clues why this is happening / how to fix it? [23:38] awolfson: I think you can get a whole desktop with http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ [23:38] I'm a complete beginner in this kind of thing, so you *may* have to use layman talk [23:38] Moogs: "gksu gparted" from a terminal. It's a fairly intuitive GUI application. [23:39] Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? [23:40] after that support request, I can indeed confirm that marijuana and root access do not in any way mix [23:40] Jordan_U: says gksu is not a command [23:41] Moogs, gksudo ? [23:42] why do I get a message df: `/root/.gvfs': Permission denied when I try to execute df as a normal user? [23:42] Use 'sudo' [23:42] Moogs: Ask in #fedora. [23:42] so: [23:42] sudo 'command' [23:42] Baralabite_, but why should I? [23:42] It executes the command as root and gives you access [23:42] I mean, why is it nessecary to execute df as sudo? [23:43] I have no clue - I just know sudo fixes all my permission problems! [23:43] I'm a linux newbie :3 [23:43] heh [23:43] Antonis, You shouldn't have to run df with sudo [23:43] well I know sudo but is't not a solution to just execute something with sudo.. it might not end well [23:43] Baralabite_: You should *not* just tack sudo onto any command that gives you a permissions error. [23:43] dcullen, I know but I get this annoying error [23:44] sudo rm -r -f /usr.... [23:44] Antonis, Do you have a pastebin of the error? [23:44] !danger [23:44] 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] dcullen, just the line I pasted here along with the results of course [23:44] /root/.gvfs': Permission denied [23:44] Antonis, I just joined, so I didn't see your paste [23:45] dcullen, oh sorry [23:45] Baralabite_: Do not do that. [23:45] Thankgoodness I know better. [23:45] Antonis, don't worry, I'll find the log [23:45] Baralabite_: Please don't post commands which could hose a person's system. [23:45] I just pasted the line dcullen :P [23:45] Okay [23:46] Antonis, can you use the http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste the output of mount? [23:46] 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] Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? [23:47] piglit, 1 Gbit/second = 125 MByte/second [23:47] diver: not that i know of if you have got a problem you can try an older driver [23:47] dcullen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101051/ [23:47] Wow, yes, please do not run commands that people will blindly copy and paste that will hose their systems [23:47] Okay, okay [23:48] dcullen: with ftp i get like 100MB/sec but this is not ftp but it is ftp-S [23:48] Anyway, do you mind if I ask a question/pose a problem? [23:48] So can anyone help me set up a remote desktop/server that I can install ubuntu on? === jerimiah is now known as lordacid [23:48] 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] Would teamviewer work for remote desktop? [23:49] piglit, what's ftp-S? Do you mean sftp? [23:49] sftp != ftps [23:49] @aquesestioner: Is this what you were after: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx? [23:49] * http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx [23:49] != means is not [23:49] aquestioner, you using some server in the cloud? [23:49] Antonis, Is root logged into X? [23:49] Baralabite_: I guess, but I don't know how to install ubuntu on a server in the cloud [23:49] dcullen, what is the fuse daemon and why is that? [23:49] dcullen, I did sudo su earlier but I exited the terminal [23:50] piglit: 5!=120 [23:50] compdoc: I don't know how to get one that will let me use teamviewer to get a remote desktop to work [23:50] Antonis, fuse is the user mode file system, and the fuse daemon is the server that automatically mounts user mode file systems [23:50] aquestioner, use vnc4server [23:50] I see === BlouBlou is now known as wtf [23:50] Would anyone have a clue why my 3g modem effects all my other network connections in Ubuntu 12.04? [23:51] Antonis, sudo su? You can do "sudo bash" or you can do "su -" but I think "sudo su" may do something unexpected [23:51] compdoc: I don't need the program, I need a server :/ [23:51] sudo su is fine [23:51] aquestioner: I'm not sure about a server - I just convert normal Ubuntu 12.04 desktop into my server [23:51] anyway... 12.04, my borders just vanished from all my windows, how do I get them back? >.> [23:51] i used sudo su all the time, its fine. [23:51] piglit, fops is ftp with SSL? It will be slower than FTP [23:52] Ae pessoal [23:52] tudo bem [23:52] dcullen: yes i know it is slower i know why but i dont know how slow or fast it can be [23:52] lordacid, Antonis, In this case, "sudo su" seems to have caused the fuse daemon to mount something as root [23:53] aquestioner, that is a server. maybe I dont understand what youre trying to do === kracker|zombie is now known as kracker[BDC] [23:53] dcullen, I did mount an .iso file [23:53] but as I said I exited [23:53] Alguem fala Poertugues [23:53] and unmounted it [23:53] weird [23:53] mount -t iso 9660 ?

[23:54] lordacid, mount -o loop isofile.iso /media/ISO [23:54] it happens a few times a day... drives me insane [23:54] Antonis, the ISO mounted as root caused fuse to put that line in your mtab [23:54] Receio que este é um canal Inglês de língua Rudrigo-BE [23:55] that is why i am asking if someone did ever test those speeds hem self to get a better idea [23:55] Antonis, if you exited without unmounting the ISO, it's still mounted [23:55] 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] Are there any issues on ubuntu with nvidia gforce 6600 ? [23:55] piglit, Even if someone did a test, you might get much better results if you have an AES accelerator in your CPU (for example) [23:56] Antonis, yeah, if you unmounted as a different user, the daemon never cleaned out the stuff you did as root [23:56] 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] nope? [23:56] 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..
