| dcullen | Baralabite_, what's the net mask on the interface? | 00:00 |
| L3top | In what way Baralabite_? | 00:01 |
| Baralabite_ | Errr... | 00:01 |
| Baralabite_ | I'm a linux newbie | 00:01 |
| Baralabite_ | Which interface | 00:01 |
| Baralabite_ | Ethernet, Wireless, or 3G | 00:01 |
| espen__ | Would love if someone could help me out, got problems with keyboard & mouse not beeing powered sometimes at login screen, and dash home beieng unresponsive on a fast SSD. | 00:01 |

| Antonis | you can see info with ifconfig | 00:01 |
| Moogs | Jordan_U: i figured it out, installing fedora! :) | 00:01 |
| compdoc | aquestioner, yeah. I use vnc4server for that. Its fast enough to watch videos on youtube, but I dont have sound working. I use it mainly to connect to my headless servers using a RealVNC client to administer them | 00:02 |

| dcullen | Anyone know how to hide joins and parts in XChat Azure? | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Xchat has a item on the right click menu on the channel buttons/tab/item.. not sure about 'azure' | 00:03 |
| mikecraft | can I enable automatic installation for all updates and not only security updates? | 00:04 |
| Antonis | dcullen, you could try /set irc_conf_mode on and then /gui apply | 00:04 |
| aquestioner | compdoc: cool. wait, can I just license a headless server from like rackspace or something and then tell it to run a desktop like X/GNOME (Ubuntu desktop) and pipe the output to my computer? Or is that what vnc4server does :? | 00:05 |
| aquestioner | aquestioner: i am dumb | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | aquestioner: thats what vnc does... | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | aquestioner: or you can use ssh and X forwarding | 00:05 |
| aquestioner | is it secure? | 00:06 |
| aquestioner | or i should say, is it at least as secure as my password? | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh - yes.. | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | 00:06 |

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... it | 00:41 |
| L3top | simply won't install. apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer | grep Installed Installed: 11.2.202.233ubuntu2 locate libflashplayer.so returns nothing. | 00:41 |

| Baralabite | What do I set the gateway to? | 00:43 |
| dcullen | Baralabite, do you know the IP range of the DHCP server on the Ethernet side? | 00:44 |
| Baralabite | The IP will be 192.168.1.2 | 00:44 |

| Baralabite | 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.x | 00:44 |
| L3top | xorfish: there is a specific iso for PPC. Do not know if you are aware of that. | 00:44 |
| Baralabite | But what should the gateway be? | 00:44 |
| Baralabite | Nevermind, 0.0.0.0 | 00:44 |
| === test is now known as fusk | ||
| xorfish | L3Top, yeah I tried that out without luck. Will try again I suppose. | 00:44 |
| Baralabite | Done Sir! | 00:45 |
| dcullen | Baralabite, if you have to set the gateway, use 0.0.0.0 and it will use whatever is in your routing table (which will be set by your 3G or WiFi connection) | 00:45 |
| dcullen | Baralabite, don't call me sir, I work for a living! | 00:45 |
| Baralabite | Okay, so, done that | 00:45 |
| dcullen | Baralabite, alright, now try to ping something on the Ethernet side | 00:45 |

| Baralabite | Well, I am pretty much a 14 year old playing around... | 00:46 |
| L3top | dcullen: May I pm for an off topic question? | 00:47 |
| Baralabite | Ethernet ping'ing seems to be working, and I am (obiously) not disconnected from the internet! | 00:47 |
| xorfish | So how would I boot the iso in OpenFirmware? | 00:47 |

| ResQue | i have the 32bit version of ubuntu install, does anyone have any information on how i can swap out the kernal and ubuntu install for 64bit | 00:50 |
| Baralabite | One more thing, sorry if I was a bit thick-headed, not really comprehending what you wanted - I am still getting used to all of this | 00:50 |
| bazhang | ResQue, full reinstall | 00:51 |
| dcullen | Baralabite, the only thing we need out of people seeking help is patience | 00:51 |
| escott | ResQue, you can install the kernel, but you cannot change the libc without a reinstall | 00:52 |
| ResQue | bazhang: running an installer is fine, but doesnt it just partition a harddrive and copy some files to your file system? i am sure i could do this my self and learna lot on the way | 00:53 |
| bazhang | ResQue, no. | 00:53 |
| Moogs | I installed Fedora and during installation it said booter failed. I clicked okay and it continued... then said installation was finished... then I went to restart the computer and then it went to load Windows, and then Windows crashed showing a blue screen and restarted saying it couldn't be loaded... Any suggestions?? anyone?? :O | 00:53 |
| ResQue | escott: thanks, by libc are you talking about the standard c libs? | 00:54 |

| ResQue | escott: i see, i guess i will have to look in to this further. I would like to install ubuntu without running an installer to gain more insight to how it works and its structure. i have already started with grub and have just finished reading the standard documention. i think from a live cd i could easly install grub, set up the partition structor | 00:56 |
| escott | ResQue, from a learning perspective you are welcome do to it. just backup, and don't ask in official channels if you EVER have problems with that install | 00:57 |
| ResQue | structor and copy the kernel and set up the grub config files. what would be the next step to complete the linux setup proccess | 00:57 |
| bazhang | ResQue, thats way offtopic here | 00:57 |
| escott | ResQue, you start swapping out libc and you are permanently off the reservation support-wise | 00:57 |
| ResQue | escott: could you suggest a developer channel related to ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| bazhang | ResQue, try a linux from scratch channel | 00:57 |
| escott | ResQue, or gentoo. they (used to) do libc switches all the time | 00:58 |
| escott | back in the good ole gcc abi incompatibility days | 00:58 |
| ResQue | escott: interesting, other people have also recomended gentoo for such low level insight into linux, maybe i will start there | 00:58 |
| mrich_ | I have this horrible thing happen/graphical-glitch where my vim display messes up a bit. It's sometimes hard to notice that it's happenned because the messed (or duplicated) up text actually scrolls when I scroll in vim. Has anyone seen this before? | 00:59 |
| escott | ResQue, and do it in a virtual machine... that way you aren't having to worry about a non-booting core system | 01:00 |
| ResQue | escott: well my linux install is running fine, i am really just playing around on my other install trying to learn. So maybe i will put it off for now. I want to get more into this UEFI dev anyway. Thanks for the tips :-D | 01:00 |

| thothstriangle | dcullen: I am not shure what you mean? It seems you are talking about a linux file on my system? | 01:17 |
| escott | mrich_, if it does appear in screenshots then its an issue with the way vim is drawing the windows. so you could file a bug for vim, not sure what else you could do | 01:18 |
| dcullen | thothstriangle, Yes. If flash is crashing, you might see something in your logs in /var/log | 01:18 |
| escott | mrich_, i would bet you could drop to 2d and then wipe it clean with another window but thats rather annoying | 01:18 |
| thothstriangle | dcullen: I am not shure how to check logs. | 01:19 |
| dcullen | thothstriangle, you can open the logs via the GUI, or you can view them in a terminal window, whichever your prefer | 01:19 |
| dcullen | thothstriangle, Can you open a file explorer window? | 01:19 |

| bigot1 | but there are only two themes there | 01:22 |

| * L3top does not understand why a crash of the flash plugin-container would not be there escott | 01:26 | |
| escott | dcullen, i know. im just saying i doubt anything will appear | 01:26 |
| dcullen | adobe flash on Linux isn't exactly known for it's ease of troubleshooting | 01:26 |
| dcullen | escott, sometimes the crash causes a side effect that leads to something putting a message in dmesg or syslog | 01:27 |
| dcullen | when you're digging through a haystack, sometimes any needle will do | 01:27 |
| escott | dcullen, go ahead and look. im not saying you can't | 01:27 |
| L3top | That doesn't mean it will by any means... I just "don't see why not to look" | 01:27 |
| mrich_ | escott: how can I switch to 2D? | 01:28 |
| L3top | mrich_: at login prompt, if you click the ubuntu icon next to login prompt you can choose 2d | 01:28 |

| dcullen | Guest40284, can you give yourself a better nick? | 01:36 |
| Guest40284 | my guess is hostname is where you or a program stores the computer domain name | 01:36 |
| thothstriangle | What is gui? | 01:36 |
| dcullen | Guest40284, hostname and hosts need to be in sync or you can have problems resolving your own hostname | 01:37 |

| ubottu | kracker|away, please see my private message | 01:40 |
| dcullen | Guest40284, you troll, change your nick, dnsmasq.conf can be understood by reading http://linux.die.net/man/8/dnsmasq | 01:40 |
| Guest40284 | is there anything else supposed to go into the hostname file other then the one line host name. Like can you have to host names in it so anybody could uses either or | 01:40 |
| L3top | Joelixny: are you using bumblebee? | 01:40 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I am, but it doesn't solve any of my problems. | 01:41 |
| Guest40284 | to =2 | 01:41 |
| dcullen | Can someone PLEASE make Guest40284 get a real nick? | 01:41 |
| L3top | Guest40284: If "something else" was supposed to go there... do you suppose every single iteration of ubuntu would not have it? There is no "supposed to". There is need, and method to solve for. | 01:41 |
| Guest40284 | well can it have more then one line or used in a different way then just that one line hostname. Basically can you have more then one hostname ? | 01:43 |
| L3top | Joelixny: It sounds as if everything is being handled by the intel driver... and your prop driver for the discrete card is never being utilized. This hardware is simply unsupported, and making it work is catch as catch can. Bumblebee is your most likely working solution. If it doesnt... meh... you can try ironhide... but I would not put a lot of eggs in that basket. I am sorry. | 01:43 |
| Guest40284 | I know in dns you can have more then one domain name linked to one ip | 01:43 |
| L3top | Yes Guest40284. It can. | 01:44 |
| Guest40284 | so can the hostname for a system be more then 1 ? And what exactly is the difference between a hostname and a domain name that dns uses is it just the equivalent of WAN to LAN ips or something . or is there no differences ? | 01:44 |
| L3top | Guest40284: perhaps it would be easier if rather than trying to explain everything you can possibly do with every major networking file... you state your need. This is a support channel, not a learning channel... though I exist here solely to learn and because I like helping people. I am not trying to be curt... but you are asking a whole lot of very open ended questions. I just want to help you. What do you need? | 01:45 |
| bigot1 | I have another one | 01:45 |
| bigot1 | is there any anti-virus software besides ClamTK? | 01:46 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I have the Nvidia drivers installed, and they work fine, once I'm able to boot. It takes about 10 tried to boot using the descrete GPU, but works flawless with the intel one. As far as I know, Bumblebee and IronHide run the OS on the intel GPU, while allowing to turn on/off and use the nvidia GPU on demand on another x server. | 01:46 |
| Guest40284 | hostname , samba share name / netbios name , domain name , ...etc confused which ones are the same which ones are different ..... | 01:46 |
| bigot1 | is there any anti-virus software besides ClamTK? | 01:47 |
| escott | !antivirus | bigot1 | 01:47 |
| ubottu | bigot1: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:47 |
| bigot1 | ok | 01:47 |
| Guest40284 | Ok I want to know what the differences between samba share names / netbios / computer names / hostnames are all these the same or can they be different | 01:47 |
| bigot1 | is there a website with ubuntu apps to download like a top downloads site | 01:47 |
| bigot1 | ? | 01:48 |
| Guest40284 | for instance I can setup a samba share that is different then the hostname which is different then the domain name | 01:48 |
| === kiran is now known as kiran12 | ||
| bigot1 | is there one? | 01:49 |
| L3top | Joelixny: That is not my understanding at all... the intel is the head, and it uses, intermittently based on need, the discrete gpu for rendering. You should not need to "boot to" the nvidia. The nvidia is turned off and on via acpi calls with preloaded modules to render the hard stuff... 3d/video accel/compositing | 01:49 |
| dcullen | Guest40284, I will answer your question if you change your nick | 01:49 |
| xangua | bigot1: software center | 01:49 |
| bigot1 | besides that | 01:49 |
| kiran12 | hi guys | 01:49 |
| bigot1 | I looked through all the apps there | 01:49 |
| Guest40284 | I guess the only way to keep track of what names to uses is what protocal or services your useing so this could be a lost cause | 01:49 |
| bigot1 | is there something else | 01:49 |
| Guest40284 | change it to what | 01:49 |
| kiran12 | i am new to ubuntu | 01:49 |
| xangua | !behelpful | dcullen | 01:49 |
| ubottu | dcullen: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 01:49 |
| dcullen | xangua, It's hard to be helpful when I can't type the bleddy nick | 01:50 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I disabled the IGPU in the BIOS, booting to windows works fine, but booting to Ubuntu only works after I try a lot of times. | 01:50 |
| L3top | Guest40284: Do you have a support issue? This really is not the "teach me linux" channel... You might try #ubuntu-offtopic... because I do not see a problem here, other than your wanting to know things you do not. | 01:50 |

| escott | kracker[BDC], please turn that off | 01:52 |
| kiran12 | which is better ubuntu or debian? | 01:52 |
| dcullen | !holy war | 01:52 |
| L3top | Joelixny: I understand WHAT you are saying... there is not going to be a better answer I do not believe. Your hardware is completely unsupported. Some guys wrote some stuff to try and hack it together. There is no solution. nVidia has left you swinging in the wind. I am very sorry for this circumstance, and while I am not anti nVidia... I would not ever buy this product for use with linux. | 01:52 |
| diffract| | kiran12: depends on your requirements | 01:52 |
| dcullen | so ubottu doesn't know about holy wars? | 01:52 |
| L3top | !poll | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:53 |
| Guest40284 | basically if you are useing samba or sharing files you uses the netbios or samba name for the share the samba services is like a mini dns that resolves samba names to the ip address. host names are the same as local LAN dns names.... and DNS is just a larger version WAN based.... each run on different ports and have different services but are all in theory linked to the ip under question so when in doubt just uses the ip and look u | 01:53 |
| Guest40284 | p the name thru some services query. In theory you can make any services have many names for the same ip address ... thats how I will think of it | 01:53 |
| L3top | Guest40284: Do you have an ubunut support question? | 01:53 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ Okay, thanks. I guess I'm out of luck. | 01:54 |

| L3top | Joelixny: I am truly sorry. If you would like to experiment... I can try and disable the intel for the most part... however because the nvidia works THROUGH it.. I cannot turn it off... and as it is always found... I have to write some truly awful butchery code to try and get the system to ignore it. | 01:55 |
| L3top | Joelixny: then you would always be using nVidia... but this stuff is very experimental... and will likely cause you more headaches than cure. | 01:56 |

| kiran12 | is there ubuntu tablet version, i want to install on my HP tablet | 01:58 |
| muqman | I don't know wehre else to ask this but I have an old windows pc and I want to install ubuntu server onto it, I already made a separate partition, without overwriting windows. is this possible? | 01:58 |
| L3top | I do NOT work with Bumblebee. I work on another project and find this situation an interesting puzzle... so I play with it. | 01:58 |
| L3top | Joelixny: You have the ability to change the IGPU in bios? | 01:59 |

| dcullen | kiran12, Can't you use Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity on a tablet? | 01:59 |
| muqman | can you help me out, with the installation then, I don't want to mess up :D | 01:59 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I have the ability to set the graphics to either "Optimus", "Integrated", or "discrete". | 01:59 |
| muqman | I have my old pc here and I am just checking the server cd for integrity | 02:00 |
| kiran12 | thanks dcullen, do you have any installation guide | 02:00 |
| L3top | Joelixny: if you set it to discrete, and boot... say a live disk assuming you cannot get into regular OS, I would be VERY curious as to the output of lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | 02:00 |
| diffract| | muqman: it's simple, you just choose to install it on the newly created partition when you boot up the live cd.. you can use google for detailed instructions | 02:01 |
| === reeere is now known as _streets | ||
| Joelixny | L3top~ I am on discrete, I booted by chosing "rescue mode" and then chosing to continue boot. Rescue mode also works only randomly, so I got lucky while trying that. I'll give you the output soon | 02:02 |
| L3top | I would give you a shiny thing Joelixny for that. Something that sparkles in the sun. | 02:02 |

| RIsmos | muqman, i believe ubuntu can't use ntfs partitions (please correct if wrong) but fat32 and fat are accessible via linux | 02:13 |
| muqman | shall I describe my situation? | 02:13 |
| muqman | : | 02:13 |
| RIsmos | linux can read ntfs partitions via the ntfs-3g library | 02:13 |
| RIsmos | please | 02:13 |
| Joelixny | muqman~ You want to format that partition (erasing everything in it ) and install ubuntu on it? | 02:13 |
| Jordan__ | Huh.. server overheated and shut off | 02:14 |
| L3top | Joelixny: one thing real quick... apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates | grep Candidate (big C... I dunno why people never do that) | 02:14 |
| Jordan__ | never would have guessed. | 02:14 |
| muqman | ok, I am in the server installation and I have reached partition disks | 02:14 |
| muqman | I have selected manual | 02:14 |
| muqman | and I can see #5 is the disk I want to use | 02:14 |
| escott | RIsmos, 3g can read/write ntfs. in kernel is set to read only | 02:14 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ Candidate: 295.49-0ubuntu0.1 | 02:14 |
| RIsmos | ah ok, thanks escott i didn't know this last dealing was in 6.04 ubuntu | 02:15 |
| muqman | RIsmos, so how do I select that disk and install ubuntu to it? | 02:15 |
| escott | muqman, you cannot install ubuntu onto ntfs it is not a posix compliant filesystem | 02:15 |
| muqman | ok then what do I do? | 02:15 |
| L3top | Ok... so my recommendation, should you choose to accept it, is to follow the nvidia proceedures to uninstall the .run driver you got from them and stick to the repo... and also uninstall bumblebee Joelixny. | 02:16 |
| muqman | I want to keep my previous os and files | 02:16 |

| smw | Hi all. I just hooked up a bluetooth headset but it is not showing up as an option in the sound settings. Anyone know anything about this? | 04:20 |
| Jrod-V1 | Are you familar with the terminal? | 04:20 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest26402 | ||
| smw | Jrod-V1, who are you asking? | 04:21 |
| Jrod-V1 | @smv you sorry :) | 04:21 |
| smw | smw ;-). but yes, I am | 04:21 |
| Jrod-V1 | One thing that come to mind is to check what "dmesg" or "lspci" says | 04:22 |
| Jrod-V1 | *comes | 04:22 |
| smw | Jrod-V1, the bluetooth gui paired it | 04:22 |
| smw | [256138.689053] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.6 | 04:23 |
| Jrod-V1 | Ok sometimes you may see hardware errors with that. hmm thats strange | 04:23 |
| smw | but that is probably for the new dongle | 04:23 |
| Jrod-V1 | ahh. Yeah becuase it should see a headset | 04:23 |
| Jrod-V1 | can you use the bluetooth dongle to connect anything else? | 04:24 |
| smw | don't have anything else to connect | 04:24 |
| smw | but it correctly recognized my device | 04:25 |
| smw | and my device says it is paired | 04:25 |
| tauame | what is the default code for the file .bash_login in the home directory? | 04:25 |
| smw | (as does ubuntu) | 04:25 |
| lcc | can a kernel build cause /dev/cdrom to not show up? | 04:25 |
| lcc | I now have to do eject /dev/sr0 | 04:26 |
| smw | tauame, there is no default that I know of | 04:26 |
| tauame | ok, ty | 04:26 |
| smw | tauame, there is a .bash_logout by default | 04:26 |
| tauame | I saw that one | 04:26 |
| Jrod-V1 | smw , It sounds like it is not being reconized as a audio device then | 04:26 |
| kevinlu310 | DarKnight2012: I posted part of the log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101272/. Could someone help me to find out the root cause of auto logout issue of my Ubuntu 12.04 system? Thanks a lot. | 04:26 |
| smw | Jrod-V1, yes, I imagine that is the case | 04:27 |
| tauame | but i miss overwritten the original .bash_login, so I thought I messed up here, but then its ok | 04:27 |
| smw | Jrod-V1, heh, now xbmc is unhappy: there is no soundcard | 04:32 |
| smw | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 04:32 |
| VirtualBlackness | that was a long time. I expect there were problems Joelixny | 04:32 |
| smw | Jrod-V1, time to restart :-\ | 04:32 |
| Jrod-V1 | ahh man. perhaps a confilt | 04:33 |
| Jrod-V1 | :( | 04:33 |
| Joelixny | VirtualBlackness~ Well, the usual struggle to boot, the nomodeset didn't work. Same result, the xorg.conf you gave me doesn't allow me to start x | 04:33 |
| VirtualBlackness | Ok Joelixny. I will revisit it. | 04:34 |
| VirtualBlackness | Joelixny: I expect it has to do with the hsync/vrefresh I cannot get from your EDID | 04:35 |
| Joelixny | What are those? | 04:35 |
| dougb | is there a flag to set to rsync without sending file/directory permissions? | 04:36 |
| Joelixny | VirtualBlackness~ If this helps, when ever it fails to boot and I'm on recovery mode, the error messages say something about the sda and sata. | 04:36 |
| tking | hi guys, i know this sound stupid, i am using ubuntu 12.04LTS what is the version called? is it nautilus or precise pangolin or precise oneric al this names confuses me | 04:37 |
| Joelixny | VirtualBlackness~ I tried to copy what it said, but the screen went black before I could copy all of it. Oh, and I was dropped into a busybox, but I couldn't type anything. | 04:37 |
| xangua | !12.04 | tking | 04:37 |
| ubottu | tking: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 04:37 |
| smw | Jrod-V1, reboot did not help | 04:37 |
| Jrod-V1 | Can XBMC start without it paired now? | 04:38 |
| tking | xangua what is nautilus | 04:38 |
| quixotedon | tking: nautilus is file explorer | 04:39 |
| tking | quixotedon, the home folder or the dash? | 04:39 |
| quixotedon | yeah, that's right tking | 04:39 |
| VirtualBlackness | Joelixny: the xorg has nothing to do with your hard drive.... I don't know what those are about. In the meantime sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot. It will check your drive for errors, however the inability to boot is due to this x config | 04:40 |
| tking | quixotedon, u mean both are right or just 1? | 04:40 |
| Jrod-V1 | swn, did you do a serach on your headset model number? | 04:40 |
| quixotedon | tking: oh, sorry, when you click the home folder, it opens a window of file explorer. Nautilus is the name for the file explorer app | 04:41 |
| tking | quixotedon, alright thx | 04:42 |
| Jrod-V1 | I gotta take off all. sorry I coun't have been of much help. | 04:43 |
| Joelixny | VirtualBlackness~ No matter what xorg.conf I have, I still boot the same. The problem is starting x, with the wrong xorg.conf. When I can't boot, I get those errors saying that and something like, "Gave up waiting for root something" and lists some reasons why it might be. This only happens when I use the discrete card though. | 04:44 |

| NewWorld | ssrvm: I guess you mean AFTER formatting. I've used a good program that runs on windows that specifically recovers stuff from ext3 . | 07:14 |
| ssrvm | NewWorld: actually i installled 12.04 with ext4 on the existing ext3 of 9.4 and lost some very highly imp files. so i am very highly panicked here | 07:14 |
| S4mm1ch | im having trouble finding how to set a certain directory for vsftpd | 07:14 |
| ssrvm | NewWorld: yes after formatting and partitioning. can you please tell me that program name? | 07:14 |
| NewWorld | ssrvm: gimme a few mins ill try to find | 07:16 |
| Antonis | ssrvm, if you want to recover files etc. I believe photorec is the BEST | 07:16 |
| ssrvm | NewWorld: ok | 07:16 |
| ssrvm | Antonis: i thought photorec was for photos? | 07:16 |
| Antonis | I have used it myself after two formats and I recovered almost everything.. | 07:17 |
| Antonis | ssrvm, not only.. I have recovered documents zip files etc.. pretty much everything | 07:17 |
| ssrvm | Antonis: can it recover other files types other than photos? | 07:17 |
| ssrvm | Antonis: ok thanks will try it | 07:17 |
| Antonis | ssrvm, it can =) | 07:17 |
| NewWorld | ssrvm: I think it was this one: http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-ext2-ext3-drive.htm | 07:18 |

| ssrvm | it* | 07:19 |
| NewWorld | But maybe I'm wrong, it was a few years ago that I used | 07:19 |
| NewWorld | good luck) | 07:19 |

| nilsga | Hi! I'm trying to automate selection of a PAM profile, but the pam-auth-update script seems to require user interaction. Is there some other way to select a profile from the command line? | 07:23 |
| \Jan | nilsga: have you tried with --force? | 07:26 |
| \Jan | According to the man page: " Overwrite the current PAM configuration, without prompting. This | 07:26 |
| \Jan | option must not be used by package maintainer scripts; it is intended | 07:26 |
| \Jan | for use by administrators only. | 07:26 |
| === ring0 is now known as Guest39079 | ||
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| nilsga | \Jan Yes, I have tried both --force and --package | 07:27 |
| nilsga | but it doesnt seem to be possible to select the profile from the command line | 07:28 |
| nilsga | tried 'pam-auth-update --package <profile_name>', but it doesnt make any difference | 07:28 |
| nilsga | The only way it works is selecting it in the profile chooser that appears. | 07:30 |

| robertzaccour | I understand this chat is for ubuntu help, just wondering if anyone knows. | 07:33 |
| susundberg | maplesoft: lsof works also | 07:33 |

| susundberg | robertzaccour: the program versions and installed codecs probably can differ | 07:34 |
| histo | robertzaccour: you may want to ask the mint people. The reason certain formats don't work is because you don't have codecs installed by default in ubuntu | 07:34 |

| susundberg | maplesoft: don't know, i tried also lsof but it doenst show listening ports either, i think we are now missing something here, like listening sockets are not registered as normal opened files. | 07:40 |
| histo | maplesoft: hold up checking something | 07:40 |

| tanuki | I don't know if this is a VMware issue, a Mac problem, or an Ubuntu problem, but here goes... everything I print from my Ubuntu guest to my Mac's printer through the VMware printer sharing system demands "light" media, which my printer doesn't have loaded. I have to manually tell the printer to print anyway. How do I get things to print without having to kludge around it? | 08:22 |

| mboreinz | hey | 08:26 |
| Error404NotFound | histo: perhaps you wanted to say 'hardware'. And no, its not hardware. Same adapter and battery works if they are plugged in on boot. However, if i boot into ubuntu, remove power adapter, do some work and plugin adapter back it, its not detected by acpi. | 08:28 |

| VEndix | papa you can find Xfburn | 08:43 |
| VEndix | but i think that is only for gnome | 08:43 |
| rogst | papa: windows should be able to read the dvd if it was burned successfully | 08:43 |
| VEndix | what enviroment do you use? | 08:43 |
| papa | no xfburn it lacks many features unfortunately it is buggy i used it befor in xubuntu | 08:43 |
| papa | they call this unity | 08:43 |
| VEndix | ah then i don't know | 08:43 |
| rogst | papa: In what way did brasero destroy your dvds ? | 08:43 |
| papa | lol ityped fxburn hehe | 08:44 |
| papa | it hangs | 08:44 |
| papa | idk why | 08:44 |
| VEndix | well i never saw that brasero would destroy dvd's | 08:44 |

| Sling | on a default 12.04 install, do i need to change anything special to allow daemons to listen on a custom port, say 1337? | 09:01 |
| Sling | apparmor should only block whats in the loaded profiles right? | 09:02 |
| usr13 | Sling: no | 09:02 |
| ANub | guys ive 12.04 on dell latitude 6410 with intel wifi | 09:03 |
| Sling | because a daemon is started and listening on the port (lsof -i:1337 shows the process) yet it refuses any connection | 09:03 |
| usr13 | Sling: Well, it depends on the particular deamon | 09:03 |
| Sling | also with tcpflow on the source IP connecting i see *nothing* coming in, and strace on the daemon shows it doesn't do anything | 09:03 |
| Sling | its a listening socket in perl | 09:03 |
| ANub | if i use torrent on wifi ......the traffic just dies out after sometime | 09:03 |
| ANub | cant even ping or trace | 09:03 |
| ANub | traceroute gives message "no buffer space availeble" | 09:04 |
| usr13 | Sling: You might run nmap against it from another PC on your LAN | 09:04 |
| ANub | i disable my wireless through net man and reenable it | 09:04 |
| ANub | the traffic starts flowing....but after some times dies again | 09:04 |
| ANub | any one has experienced this behavior...? | 09:05 |
| usr13 | ANub: Maybe an issue with your ISP? | 09:05 |
| ANub | nope | 09:05 |
| ANub | ubuntu's wireless drivers can't seem to handle lots of peering connections | 09:06 |
| tanuki | grrrrr | 09:07 |
| usr13 | ANub: I don't think they are necessarily ubuntu's drivers. | 09:07 |
| ANub | yeap....not necessary | 09:07 |
| tanuki | Why the hell is Ubuntu looking for files that don't exist? | 09:07 |
| usr13 | tanuki: How so? | 09:07 |
| ikonia | tanuki: why the hell can't you give better information if you want help | 09:07 |
| ANub | but surely has got to do with ubuntu | 09:08 |
| * tanuki stabs ikonia in the face. With lasers. | 09:08 | |
| aether | ANub: it could be your router? How many is 'lots of peering connections'? You could reduce the number of concurrent connections in your torrent client. | 09:08 |
| ikonia | tanuki: don't be stupid with me | 09:08 |
| ikonia | tanuki: if you've got a problem, ask the question and explain the issue | 09:08 |
| usr13 | tanuki: Here is how it works. You ask a question. | 09:09 |
| ANub | <aether> its not router.......'cause other clients traffic remains flowing all the time | 09:09 |
| Sling | hm port seems to stay closed from the outside | 09:09 |
| tanuki | usr13: I was typing it out when people got stupid. | 09:09 |
| Sling | iptables has default accept policy for input and no rules that drop anything (for testing atm) | 09:09 |
| usr13 | tanuki: Never mind. | 09:09 |
| ikonia | tanuki: asking you to explain the details isn't being stupid | 09:09 |
| MonkeyDust | tanuki did you have a 'real' ubuntu question, too? | 09:09 |
| Sling | other services are working fine like ssh/httpd | 09:10 |
| tanuki | I'm trying to get my printer to work again via VMware's printer sharing. However, whenever I try to print something, the print queue window says the job was stopped because it's looking for a file. | 09:10 |
| Sling | also its root thats opening the socket | 09:10 |
| ikonia | saying "why the hell is ubuntu looking for missing files" isn't a question, an issue or anything of value | 09:10 |
| Sling | no idea what could be blocking this | 09:10 |
| ikonia | tanuki: ok - that question has nothing to do with missing files | 09:10 |
| tanuki | It's a file that exists... on the host. | 09:10 |
| ikonia | tanuki: what file is it looking for | 09:10 |
| tanuki | /Library/Printers/hp/filter/hpPreProcessing.filter/Contents/MacOS/hpPreProcessing | 09:10 |
| usr13 | tanuki: firefox localhost:631 | 09:10 |
| ikonia | tanuki: that shouldn't be an absolute path, but relevent to the cups driver path | 09:11 |
| magpie | morning lads, ive got a question. Pros and cons of Ubuntu-Ultimate? | 09:11 |
| tanuki | ikonia: Well, that's the file it's claiming it's looking for. | 09:11 |
| tanuki | usr13: What about it? | 09:12 |
| ikonia | tanuki: yes, and I'm telling you it's not an absolute path but a relative path is's looking for | 09:12 |
| tanuki | 'Idle - "File "/Library/Printers/hp/filter/hpPreProcessing.filter/Contents/MacOS/hpPreProcessing" not available: No such file or directory"' | 09:12 |
| ikonia | that also looks like a mac driver | 09:12 |
| ikonia | rather than a linux one | 09:12 |
| tanuki | ikonia: dingdingdingdingdingding | 09:12 |
| tanuki | So why is Ubuntu trying to find it? | 09:13 |
| magpie | ikonia in xubuntu how do i make xfce to be the default session instead of choosing it everyone time i plug in ? | 09:13 |
| ikonia | magpie: xfce is already default in xubuntu | 09:13 |
| MonkeyDust | tanuki that Mac and VMware in one question, better start from the beginning | 09:13 |
| ikonia | mac and vmware ? where did that come from, did I miss infomration ? | 09:13 |
| tanuki | "tanuki: I'm trying to get my printer to work again via VMware's printer sharing. However, whenever I try to print something, the print queue window says the job was stopped because it's looking for a file." | 09:14 |
| lmd284 | no idea bro! what is that? | 09:14 |
| lmd284 | hello world! | 09:14 |
| tanuki | It's VMware Fusion running on a Mac host. | 09:14 |
| magpie | ikonia accodring to login window it has xubuntu session and xfce, both of them have a few different options when chosen, such as fonts, colors and the app menu is a bit different | 09:14 |
| ikonia | tanuki: have you setup the printer in cups ? | 09:15 |
| ikonia | magpie: xubuntu is xfce | 09:15 |
| ikonia | magpie: I'm not running xubuntu at the moment to verify | 09:15 |
| tanuki | ikonia: Both in cups and via the Unity interface. | 09:15 |

| MasterOfDisaster | New2Ubuntu: sure, it's a hardcoded sleep() in the bootup scripts</sarcasm> | 10:11 |

| New2Ubuntu | even though i didn't change any settings | 10:14 |
| aether | cjs: 8gb is actually 8192, 8200 is too close to that, you proably need a bigger partition | 10:14 |

| cjs | gerryvdm: Looking at what happened here, hm, maybe not. 8007676 is a lot closer to 8000000 than 8192000. But it's kinda weird to be mixing GB, MB and KiB (since the sector sizes are all powers of two). | 10:17 |

| LjL | serverqg: what is that supposed to mean? | 13:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | Heh,. | 13:04 |
| serverqg | I have a script for show speed internet, more no functional still | 13:05 |
| aladdini | now I installed the app "pork" how can I join this channel? | 13:06 |
| LjL | serverqg: please disable scripts in this channel, they're not allowed | 13:06 |
| dcullen | aladdini: I dunno, I never used pork. I found it using apt-cache search bitchx | 13:07 |
| LjL | aladdini, dcullen: i suspect most people who IRC from terminal here are using irssi | 13:07 |
| serverqg | LjL, Ok. It is very simple. Do in python | 13:07 |
| serverqg | Go disable now... Sorry my englisg. I m from Brazil | 13:07 |

| papa | smartmontools | 13:09 |
| LjL | papa: to me the reallocated sector count doesn't look good. | 13:10 |
| spaceninja | s there an alternative installation iso that doesn't load so long during bootup, my laptop freezes, nothing wrong with the cd, it's just that the computer is kind of crappy :p | 13:10 |
| LjL | !alternate | spaceninja | 13:10 |
| ubottu | spaceninja: 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 | 13:10 |
| papa | is my hdd time up :P | 13:10 |

| iceroot | papa: no | 13:14 |
| iceroot | papa: hardware errors or filesystem errors? | 13:14 |

| spaceninja | !minimal | 13:15 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:15 |
| papa | is it ok to backup in ubuntu cloud? | 13:16 |
| dcullen | LjL: How do I do the equivalent of apt show on Ubuntu 12.04? | 13:16 |
| papa | please give me more info abt ubuntu one i am new to uone | 13:17 |
| LjL | dcullen: "apt-cache show packagename", but it's the same as in other releases | 13:17 |
| papa | is ubuntu one secure? | 13:17 |
| dcullen | LjL: I figured it out. Jeepers. | 13:17 |
| LjL | papa: i don't think it aims for particularly high security. | 13:18 |
| dcullen | LjL: I have just plain "apt" on a Linux Mint 12 install | 13:18 |
| LjL | dcullen: that's not very plain actually, it's probably a simplification of some sort that Mint did later :P | 13:18 |
| papa | the ubuntu one application has closed unexpectedly | 13:18 |
| dcullen | LjL: What I mean by "just plain apt" is no suffix (e.g. apt-cache) | 13:19 |
| aladdini1 | can I run commands while I'm using irssi? | 13:19 |
| MonkeyDust | aladdini1 i use irssi - what do you mean exactly? | 13:19 |
| dcullen | aladdini1: What command do you want to run? | 13:20 |
| papa | dropbox vs ubuntu one ? | 13:20 |
| Pici | !best | 13:20 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:20 |
| auronandace | papa: don't take polls | 13:20 |
| dcullen | papa: Purchase web hosting and store your files there. | 13:21 |
| papa | alternatives to dropbox? | 13:21 |
| papa | any free stuffs ? | 13:21 |
| dcullen | ah, the price of free | 13:21 |
| aladdini1 | I mean if I logged in to the cli? | 13:21 |
| LjL | papa: http://alternativeto.net/software/dropbox/ | 13:21 |
| aladdini1 | let say "ls -al" for example. | 13:21 |
| MonkeyDust | aladdini1 yes, irssi is a CLI client | 13:21 |
| papa | is cloud storage safe ? | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | aladdini1 you can do that in a different terminal screen | 13:22 |
| tensorpudding | papa, define safe | 13:23 |
| LjL | papa: depends on your definition of "safe". few things are "safe" in all ways, if any. | 13:23 |
| MonkeyDust | aladdini1 open two terminal screens, use one for irssi, the other for commands | 13:23 |
| dcullen | MonkeyDust: Is there a way to run a shell command in irssi and get the output to show up in the channel? | 13:23 |
| L3top | papa: are cars fast? | 13:23 |
| papa | will there be any loss of data> | 13:23 |
| iceroot | dcullen: /exec | 13:23 |
| iceroot | dcullen: see also #irssi | 13:23 |
| dcullen | iceroot: tada! | 13:23 |
| sutterCane | papa: what about spideroak | 13:23 |
| dcullen | I think we can alleviate aladdini1's fears | 13:23 |
| MonkeyDust | dcullen nah, not the way you want it, copy paste or pastebin may be a way | 13:23 |
| aladdini1 | what if I didn't logged in to GUI ? | 13:23 |
| tensorpudding | if you are paying the company to store things there, they almost surely will have some policy to not lose your data under most reasonable circumstances | 13:23 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: sure irssi can do that | 13:23 |
| papa | how much time will it take to backup 5 gb music in ubuntu one | 13:24 |
| dcullen | ...and iceroot sprints across the finish line | 13:24 |
| iceroot | papa: depending on your connection of course | 13:24 |

| dcullen | l3d: You can build it from sources | 13:25 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot +1 !! | 13:26 |
| aladdini1 | dcullen: how? | 13:26 |
| tensorpudding | you can probably build the source package from a later version | 13:26 |
| sutterCane | or you could download it from graphical.com | 13:26 |
| sakera | assalamu alikum | 13:26 |

| ripthejacker | dcullen, i need to start the script before login | 13:31 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, so what runlevel should it be placed? | 13:31 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Start what script? | 13:31 |
| ripthejacker | a script than runs a java program | 13:31 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: run runlevel to see your current runlevel | 13:31 |
| ripthejacker | it says N,2 | 13:32 |
| Pici | !runlevels | 13:32 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 13:32 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: so there you have it: runlevel 2 | 13:32 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, i want the program to start before login | 13:32 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, and how do i make sure all the dependent programs are running like jvm and bluetooth | 13:33 |
| iceroot | !boot | ripthejacker | 13:33 |
| ubottu | ripthejacker: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 13:33 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: so make sure that its S prefix is less than your window manager (e.g. if your window manager is /etc/rc2.d/S91lighttpd, use /etc/rc2.d/S85yourscript) | 13:34 |
| ikonia | dcullen: no | 13:34 |
| ikonia | dcullen: ubuntu uses upstart now | 13:34 |
| ikonia | not the old system V init system | 13:34 |
| dcullen | ikonia: You can still use the old scripts | 13:35 |
| ikonia | no you can't | 13:35 |
| ikonia | they will not get called like that | 13:35 |
| ikonia | they require either upstart scripts, or a wrapper for upstart to call them | 13:35 |
| dcullen | ikonia: I suggest you look in /etc/rc2.d and tell me what you see | 13:36 |
| auronandace | !wfm | dcullen | 13:36 |
| ubottu | dcullen: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 13:36 |
| ikonia | why ? | 13:36 |
| dcullen | ikonia: Because I see my NFS kernel server getting started there | 13:36 |
| dcullen | ikonia: ...using an old style init script | 13:36 |
| ikonia | dcullen: the scripts will work as a script, but upstart doesn't use the old init system | 13:36 |
| dcullen | ikonia: You'll still get the ordering you need, and it will be easier than learning upstart | 13:37 |
| CM-Pizarro | Hi all | 13:38 |
| aladdini | hi CM-Pizarro | 13:38 |
| CM-Pizarro | I have installed and configured WebDav in my Ubuntu server and works well. I have a problem, how can I force webdav to use my system's users (/etc/passwd file) instead of a new one that all tutorials tell you to create? I need this because I want WebDav to use my UNIX file permission when allowing users to upload files, modify them, or entering into a certain folder. Any clue? Many thanks! | 13:40 |
| aladdini | how can I remove a directory with its files? | 13:40 |
| CM-Pizarro | aladdini: rm -R /mydirectory | 13:40 |
| dcullen | aladdini: rm -r | 13:41 |
| gaelfx | aladdini: rm -R | 13:41 |
| dcullen | aladdini: You might want to run "man rm" and see some of the more interesting things you can do. Also, I recommend reading "man cp" as well. | 13:41 |
| aladdini | I want to make a link to directory? | 13:43 |
| Psi-Jack | aladdini: Homework? | 13:45 |
| CM-Pizarro | ln ? | 13:45 |
| dcullen | aladdini: "man ln" | 13:45 |
| dcullen | aladdini: actually, use "man -k <search term>" to find commands that do what you want | 13:45 |
| aladdini | no? | 13:45 |
| dcullen | aladdini: e.g. man -k link | 13:46 |
| prova21 | j | 13:46 |
| aladdini | ok | 13:47 |
| CM-Pizarro | aladdini: check this tutorial, I used it to learn time ago: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ | 13:47 |
| delac | anyone using elementary iconset? For some reason totem palyers controls are too big for the toolbar and symbolic. Any fix for those? | 13:47 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, so window manager is the last thing loaded before the login. | 13:47 |
| lJ6il | Hello (sorry for my bad english)... When I connect my user on the connection screen, my computer stays on the wallpaper. I've got only the mouse (no bar, no icons, etc.). After maybe 20 seconds, total black screen. | 13:47 |
| lJ6il | Could it be a graphic card problem ? | 13:47 |
| aguitel | how repair mbr? | 13:47 |
| CM-Pizarro | Anyone who has installed WebDav? thanks. | 13:48 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, is there any chance that if my script fails the whole boot will fail? | 13:48 |
| lJ6il | a "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" only gives me : (EE) Failed to load module ''nv'' (module does not exist, 0) | 13:48 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: No. Have you ever disabled the splash screen and watched Linux boot? Scripts fail all the time. | 13:48 |
| lJ6il | I only have this in my Xorg: «Section "Device" ; Identifier "Default Device" ; Option "NoLogo" "True" ; EndSection» . Is it normal ? | 13:48 |
| ripthejacker | oh yeah | 13:49 |
| * L3top would argue that it depends on how it fails... looping and the like... I mean... ever had a boot fail due to an init script? | 13:49 | |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: In fact, you will want to remove "quiet splash" from your /etc/default/grub | 13:49 |
| aladdini | thanks. | 13:50 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, actually thats another issue i never bothered to fix after i got my new ati card.I dont get splash screen its always the text | 13:50 |
| L3top | this is sort of one of those reasons upstart is recommended over v init... the ability to do parallel runs... vs the order by order. | 13:50 |
| L3top | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#sysv-limitations | 13:50 |
| L3top | if it never finishes... it can never continue. | 13:51 |
| dcullen | L3top: Yes, technically, there is a chance ripthejacker's script could cause a problem. But I am counting on him not writing any infinite loops | 13:51 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, /etc/default!!! these odd file hierarchy is making the learning curve even difficult. | 13:51 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Tell me about it | 13:52 |
| ripthejacker | why isnt it placed in the sensible /boot folder? o.O | 13:53 |
| dcullen | L3top: if ripthejacker can dig through the files in /etc/init and figure out how to write an upstart script, he can always do that | 13:54 |
| L3top | just throwin it out there. | 13:54 |
| iceroot | ripthejacker: config goes to /etc | 13:54 |
| ripthejacker | !conf | 13:55 |
| dcullen | What does JOB="${INITSCRIPT%.sh}" do? For example, if INITSCRIPT is resolvconf, does JOB get set to resolvconf.sh? | 13:55 |
| iceroot | !filesystem | ripthejacker | 13:55 |
| ubottu | ripthejacker: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 13:55 |
| iceroot | dcullen: #bash | 13:56 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | hello guys, what's the advatages of UFI? Is it better to use EFI instead of BIOS? | 13:56 |
| iceroot | dcullen: but the output should go to JOB | 13:56 |
| L3top | dcullen: place script in /etc/init.d update-rc.d myscript defaults will add it to the runlevels and order it based on the script name. To remove update-rc.d -lf myscript remove | 13:56 |
| L3top | er... ripthejacker^ | 13:56 |
| compdoc | rafaelsoaresbr, it allows you to boot drives larger than 2.2 TB | 13:56 |
| dcullen | L3top: Wait, what? The order is based on script name? | 13:57 |
| L3top | ripthejacker: look at other scripts in /etc/init.d for header info as to prerequisite starts etc to avoid race condition | 13:57 |
| ripthejacker | L3top, yes i saw that. But where do i see if the modules i need are loaded before my script? | 13:57 |
| L3top | dcullen: eg s90astart will run before s90dostart and based on prerequisite loads will wait or run. | 13:58 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | compdoc: I do not have a drive larger than 2,2TiB, should I use UFI anyway? Is it faster? | 13:58 |
| L3top | ripthejacker: again, look at headers that are already there to see how to not allow runs until various services have started | 13:58 |
| === jbailey is now known as Guest73614 | ||
| dcullen | ah, so JOB=${INITSCRIPT%.sh} removes any trailing .sh. got it. | 13:59 |
| L3top | I would like to reiterate that this is depreciated... and you should start learning upstart | 13:59 |
| dcullen | L3top: that line is in /lib/init/upstart-job and I'm trying to learn it (but it's an ugly system) | 14:00 |
| L3top | also do not begin scripts with numbers. 0start would be interpreted by rc.local as both 99start and 90start and will launch two instances. | 14:00 |
| ripthejacker | L3top, so what service should i be checking if i want the login dialog to come after my script? | 14:00 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Start by manually making a symbolic link from your script to /etc/rc2.d/S85script (that will get it to start before lightdm) | 14:01 |
| L3top | ripthejacker: the fact that you are putting it there means it will launch before login... the question is what prerequisites need to be running before you do it... ie networking might need to already be running for the script/application to work. | 14:02 |
| ripthejacker | oh getit | 14:03 |
| dcullen | L3top, ripthejacker, you can specify prerequisites in your script using the "Required-Start" line | 14:03 |
| L3top | again... examine existing headers... you will get the feel for the "launch after these services are run... launch before this happens" | 14:03 |
| delac | both elementary and human use symbolic action icons from gnome iconset. Still, on elementary the totem toolbar controls scale incorrectly. What might cause that? | 14:03 |
| nbubuntu | hi , I need some help , how do I custom my LCD resolution ? using restricted ati driver . Xorg show nothing at all | 14:03 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, L3top yeah gotit i place the script in init.d make a link in rc2.d | 14:04 |
| ripthejacker | right? | 14:04 |
| nbubuntu | thanks , using ubuntu 10.10 | 14:04 |

| danley | Hi.I need some help with autofs. I have an autofs mountpoint /nfs/Music that mounts a NFS share. this works well. I also have a symbolic link from /home/danley/Music to /nfs/Music. My home is encrypted by ubuntu's standard ecryptfs setup. my problem now. when the mount point is unreachable as in I'm not at home to reach the server with the NFS share I can't log in. after the login of lightdm it just stops. does anybody know what I can do about that? | 14:08 |
| tauchris | Actually understand mount/umount, and have got it working for an sshfs remote filesystem. I don't understand how/why it shows up in Nautilus, even when it isn't mounted. It's actually convenient and desirable, but I don't know how to configure it or repeat it for other remote ssh filesystems. | 14:08 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, L3top there are many services in init.d that dont have reference in any of the rc folder? | 14:08 |

| dcullen | ripthejacker: Those are disabled services | 14:08 |
| nbubuntu | L3top: even a minor of screen resolution ? ...... :-( | 14:09 |
| L3top | ripthejacker: the v init system creates symlinks in the rc folders. | 14:09 |
| L3top | I really hate getting thwapped nbubuntu. | 14:09 |

| ripthejacker | dcullen, no why o u ask? | 14:10 |
| L3top | Hey TheWhiteHatter... what goes on? I assume you have learned by now that I am an idiot and you cannot write to the pseudosystem, that the kernel itself does that sort of nonsense. | 14:10 |

| TheWhiteHatter | L3top: lol, it's fine. I'm going to build an external cooling unit. | 14:11 |
| dcullen | nbubuntu: LCD refresh rates are usually fixed at 60 Hz (or 50 Hz in non-US countries) | 14:11 |
| L3top | Not without an actual question Jural ;P | 14:11 |
| nbubuntu | dcullen : for vga is 75hz max | 14:12 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, L3top sorry for my noobness but one last thing. What services do i run to start bluetooth and jvm running.They are not there in the rc2.d folder . So when are these services initiated? | 14:12 |
| nbubuntu | dcullen : trying now , | 14:12 |
| L3top | ripthejacker: upstart | 14:12 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Do you have Bluetooth installed? | 14:12 |
| ripthejacker | !upstart | 14:12 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:12 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, yes i have | 14:12 |
| nbubuntu | auronandace : not everyone willing to upgrade where some pc specification doesn't meet the requirement or running slow | 14:13 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Bluetooth would be part of Networking, then, so make sure Networking has already started | 14:13 |
| Jural | Samsung NP550P7C, Overheating and fans not working. Booting with acpi=off crashes system after 10 to 15 mins. pwmconfig = no sensors, jupiter no effect and samsung tools cannot start fan. | 14:13 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Add $network to "Required-Start" | 14:13 |
| auronandace | nbubuntu: 10.04 is still supported | 14:13 |
| hugogee | greetz all. | 14:13 |
| L3top | tauchris: If I understand your question... it scans available devices rather regularly and puts them in as possible opens assuming there is not a problem (ie unclean). I believe it mounts them for a terribly brief moment to gather device information and then unmounts them. If it cannot mount them, it does not list them. | 14:13 |
| hugogee | is anyone running zoneminder successfully on 12.04?? | 14:13 |
| nbubuntu | auronandace : 10.04 upgrade to 10.10 last year feb . Still supported ? | 14:14 |
| auronandace | nbubuntu: we can't support outdated distros forever, there are clear support timelines | 14:14 |
| auronandace | nbubuntu: 10.04 is lts | 14:14 |
| auronandace | !lts | nbubuntu | 14:14 |
| ubottu | nbubuntu: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 14:14 |
| tauchris | @L3Top: so anything I define in my fstab and successfully mount will eventually show up under "Devices" in Nautilus? | 14:14 |
| Krambiorix | hi guys, i'm installing joomla and this has to happen...Depending on the security configuration of your Web server the recommended default permissions of 755 for directories and 644 for files should be reasonably secure. -> How can i do that in command line? | 14:14 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, overload of information :(. Is tere any link to learn where each of these services reside? | 14:14 |
| nbubuntu | auronandace : then I just roll back to 10.10 ? thanks :) | 14:15 |
| L3top | tauchris: if it is defined in fstab it should simply exist. Nautilis doesn't have to do any probing work there and all I said is not valid. | 14:15 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, sudo chmod | 14:15 |
| auronandace | nbubuntu: downgrades aren't supported either, you'd need to fresh install | 14:15 |
| tauchris | Suh-WEEET | 14:15 |
| ScottHarrison | tauchris, what are you trying to mount? I was working with fstab today, mounting my /home to 2nd hdd | 14:15 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, yeah but how can i chmod only for directories? | 14:15 |
| tauchris | Thanks @L3Top | 14:15 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Ubuntu isn't mounting my DVD. | 14:15 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: you might look into a lighter weight buntu, like xubuntu or lubuntu and run 1204(also LTS) | 14:16 |
| auronandace | L3top +1 | 14:16 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: I always just read the scripts. But I'm sure that if you google system v init script you'll find some howtos | 14:16 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, sudo chmod 0755 directoryname | 14:16 |
| nbubuntu | L3top : As I mention , i am using it fine , the reason i dont wanted to upgrade is due to ati driver support. | 14:16 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, $network is not present in rc2.d but in rc0.d so i will have to explicitly call it? | 14:17 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 14:17 |
| tauchris | @ScottHarrison, I'm setting up mounts for remote SSH filesystems that are only available when I'm VPN'ed to work. Doesn't sound much like what you are doing. | 14:17 |
| nbubuntu | L3top : 3870 | 14:17 |
| L3top | I need the output. | 14:17 |
| ScottHarrison | tauchris, not all lol, have fun, I hope you get it working. | 14:17 |
| burckley | Hello | 14:17 |
| L3top | are you saying it is an HD 3870? | 14:18 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: ^ | 14:18 |
| nbubuntu | L3top : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3870 [1002:9501] | 14:18 |
| nbubuntu | brb | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | nbubuntu type lspci -nn | grep VGA | pastebinit and paste the url here | 14:18 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: What? | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | ok | 14:18 |
| fbernier | What's the best solution to make a full backup to restore it on a brand new machine? | 14:18 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: that is supported in flgrx from precise (1204) repos. | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | fbernier type !backup for instructions | 14:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | anyone have experience with playing DVD's in Ubuntu 12? | 14:19 |
| auronandace | fbernier: best? don't know, but dd is an option | 14:19 |
| ScottHarrison | !drivers | 14:19 |
| fbernier | !backup | 14:19 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 14:19 |
| ScottHarrison | !driver | 14:19 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: S91lighttpd:# Required-Start: $syslog $remote_fs $network | 14:19 |
| nbubuntu | fbernier : easy as to mention but hassle of backup+time need to reinstall every program .sigh... | 14:19 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: precise catalyst version is equal to ati version 12-4. They do not drop support for your card until +12-5 | 14:19 |
| fbernier | !cloning | 14:19 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 14:19 |
| burckley | dcullen: i don'r remember who else i've talk to yesterday. The partition was encrypted with a mcafee tool. Possible workarounds were overkill because probably the cake was a lie | 14:19 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Just add $network to the "# Required-Start:" line in your script | 14:19 |
| burckley | don't | 14:19 |
| decci | I have openLDAP configured on my Ubuntu Machine through this script http://pastebin.com/qGk9CzQ9 | 14:19 |
| decci | I need to have 3 groups : tenant1, tenant2 and tenant3 and few users in each groups | 14:19 |
| burckley | dcullen: if you can pass that to the others, i really can't remember their nicknames, unless i see them :( | 14:20 |
| zykotick9 | MonkeyDust: just fyi i think you need "lspci -v .." to see both cards in hybrid setups... | 14:20 |
| burckley | dcullen: Thanks anyhow :-) | 14:20 |
| dcullen | burckley: I don't remember either. Have a look at the chat log | 14:20 |
| fbernier | nbubuntu: yeah .. I think ultimately ima just do a fresh install, restore my dotfiles from github and reinstall every packages | 14:20 |
| burckley | webchat on freenode | 14:20 |
| burckley | Oh well.. | 14:20 |
| dcullen | burckley: this channel keeps a log I believe | 14:21 |
| Pici | !1984 | 14:21 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 14:21 |
| L3top | lol @ factoid | 14:21 |
| MonkeyDust | fbernier if you should fresh install, consider creating a separate /home partition | 14:21 |
| fbernier | MonkeyDust: what do you mean? | 14:22 |
| burckley | escott giiker | 14:22 |
| burckley | their both offline :( | 14:22 |
| burckley | they're* | 14:22 |
| auronandace | !home | fbernier | 14:22 |
| ubottu | fbernier: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 14:22 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Anyone been able to play DVD's in Ubuntu 12? | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | fbernier you can then easily delete your ubuntu and install a new version, without losing personal files | 14:23 |
| dcullen | burckley: Check in http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/07/19/ | 14:23 |
| zykotick9 | !dvd | DarkAceLaptop | 14:23 |
| ubottu | DarkAceLaptop: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 14:23 |
| ripthejacker | dcullen, thanks a lot . see ya if it works | 14:23 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Adios | 14:23 |

| burckley | dcullen: i found their names, they are offline :-) | 14:24 |
| DarkAceLaptop | zykotick9, does this also go with mounting them? | 14:24 |
| dcullen | burckley: You can always send them IRC mail | 14:24 |
| zykotick9 | DarkAceLaptop: you don't mount video dvds - you play them | 14:24 |
| diago | would anyone know if it is possible to create a tmpfs using fusermount without root privs | 14:24 |
| ScottHarrison | In order to use ecryptfs to encrypt my /home, do I need to be logged in as another user? | 14:25 |
| L3top | DarkAceLaptop: xine is particularly good at navigating dvd menus. | 14:25 |
| DarkAceLaptop | zykotick9, normally I could browse the files of a DVD... | 14:27 |
| DarkAceLaptop | I've done it on my 10.04 machine. | 14:28 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Regardless, I still can't even play it. It's not reading it or something. | 14:28 |
| dcullen | ripthejacker: Did it work? | 14:29 |
| L3top | DarkAceLaptop: Did you read the link zykotick9 sent you? It requires that you install specific things to decode DVDs. | 14:29 |
| L3top | video DVDs* | 14:29 |
| DarkAceLaptop | I installed those already | 14:29 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Trying to play it through VLC. | 14:30 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Playback failure:'uNEWLINE'DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/dvd". | 14:30 |
| L3top | So... you stick a dvd in... you open vlc, and navigate to the dvd and it will not play? | 14:30 |
| L3top | Or are you trying to do something weird with mounting DarkAceLaptop? | 14:31 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Basically, if the DVD is located at /dev/dvd | 14:31 |

| DarkAceLaptop | L3top, it should mount when I stick it in, right? | 14:33 |
| aladdini | anyone know the ppa to install google earth on ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 14:33 |

| nannes | Oh, **** | 14:36 |
| nannes | WHY THE HELL #OPENBOX CHANNEL REQUIRES INVITE TO ENTER | 14:37 |

| Galaxor | Hi. I'm using 12.04. I'm trying to change the keyboard shortcut for launching the dash. The default is <Alt>Z. I'm trying to change it to <Alt>Space. (using gconftool-2). I can set it to <Alt>A, and the change takes. But if I change it to <Alt>Space, then there is no key that launches the dash. I can change it back to <Alt>Z, though. Am I doing something wrong? Should I spell Space differently? I've tried <Space> to no avail, as well. | 14:40 |
| === wtf is now known as BlouBlou | ||
| === BotaniCar is now known as oshosamkuch | ||
| DarkAceLaptop | Galaxor, AFAIK keyboard shortcuts are borked in Ubuntu 12. | 14:41 |
| alda | @find backtrack4 | 14:41 |
| ThinkT510 | DarkAceLaptop: if you are in unity, hold down the win key | 14:41 |
| Galaxor | DarkAceLaptop: How bad? This is the only problem I've seen so far. Do you have any links to bug reports I can subscribe to? | 14:42 |
| Pici | alda: This is #ubuntu, we don't support backtrack here. Please use #backtrack-linux | 14:42 |
| DarkAceLaptop | ThinkT510, YOU ARE MAH HERO! Yaaaaay | 14:42 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Galaxor, actually, I think so, | 14:43 |
| ThinkT510 | DarkAceLaptop: haha, no worries :) | 14:43 |

| DarkAceLaptop | ThinkT510, any way to take away that key? I'm not even in Unity xD | 14:43 |

| plain-person | Hi all. I just upgrade my Ubuntu to 12.04, and I got a sound issue (no audio devices detected, although I can play sounds in certain apps or logging in with a different, newly created user account). I was wondering how to delete the config files in user accounts or something? Note: I am a total wannabe-noob, in case that didnt come across with my message. Please, anyone? | 14:45 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Galaxor, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965921 | 14:45 |
| dhanasekaran | dcullen, i can't understand , you are given link, for creating repo, I have already done the repo. creation, I my pxe installer. download all packages from my local repo. | 14:45 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 965921 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell most keyboard shortcuts not working" [Low,Confirmed] | 14:45 |
| aether | plain-person: You normal account probably isn't in the pulse group | 14:45 |
| aether | plain-person: check /etc/group | 14:46 |
| plain-person | Aehmmm... pulse group, you say? | 14:46 |
| zykotick9 | aether: typing "groups" in a terminal will show what memeberships the logged in user is in. plain-person | 14:46 |
| * plain-person goes to check etc/group | 14:46 | |
| Galaxor | DarkAceLaptop: Thanks. But that one seems to be about gnome-shell. I'm talking about unity. | 14:46 |
| Galaxor | DarkAceLaptop: Though it's nice to know that I shouldn't try to use gnome-shell. | 14:47 |
| DarkAceLaptop | ThinkT510, gnome-fallback-session, I think. I mean, is there a way to be able to use my shortcuts without having to use the Super key? | 14:47 |
| ThinkT510 | DarkAceLaptop: i've never used that so i don't know sorry | 14:47 |
| L3top | dhanasekaran: I would do this completely differently. I would change the /etc/apt/sources.list in the boot image... probably mini.iso vs trying to use d-i. | 14:47 |
| folmer | I have a rather old laptop from 2007 (dual core, 2GB ram, 5400rpm hdd). Would you say I would benefit performancewise from switching from pure Ubuntu 12.04 to, say Xubuntu? | 14:48 |
| dcullen | dhanasekaran: It looks like that article tells you how to setup your PXE server to point at the local repo | 14:49 |
| plain-person | aether: I cant find etc/groups, but entering "groups" in terminal shows a bunch of groups, but no pulse. How do I add my account to pulse? | 14:49 |
| ThinkT510 | folmer: you could try unity2d first? | 14:49 |
| folmer | ThinkT510: I guess I could. If I knew it existed :) How do I get it/enable it? | 14:50 |
| dhanasekaran | L3top, I also doing the same thing, All packages getting from internet it's working But, I have not possible all my client machine access internet , loose my all bandwidth, because i am trying for local repo | 14:50 |
| dcullen | L3top, dhanasekaran, that is another option: mount the ISO and edit the /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:50 |
| MA111 | Greetings all, when adding volumes to mount in /etc/fstab , they mount as read-only for non root users. | 14:50 |
| === lub` is now known as lubmil | ||
| MA111 | the "defult" directvie should mount then as 'rw' . what gives ? | 14:50 |
| TheWhiteHatter | My cpu temps just hit 85 0.0 | 14:50 |
| MA111 | or should I say "defatuls" | 14:50 |
| ThinkT510 | folmer: log out, press the little ubuntu logo and pick the 2d session, then log back in | 14:50 |
| TheWhiteHatter | they backed off to 75 now | 14:50 |
| TheWhiteHatter | scary | 14:50 |
| beandog | MA111: you need user or users option ... I can't remember which | 14:50 |
| dcullen | MA111: Did you set "chgrp <group> /mnt/point" and "chmod g+w /mnt/point"? | 14:51 |
| folmer | ThinkT510, ah thanks. I'll try that immediately | 14:51 |
| L3top | dhanasekaran: you need to have a Packages.gz file in your local repo, and it must be defined in the sources.list. See dpkg-scanpackages. | 14:51 |
| MA111 | beandog: yes, there is one, but what if I have 25 users ? I gess I need to add them to a group in that case. | 14:51 |
| dcullen | MA111: They should already be members of some default groups | 14:51 |
| * L3top recommends TheWhiteHatter get a volt meter and perhaps a 6 dollar fan. | 14:52 | |
| dhanasekaran | L3top, the package is there my local repo, I cant download using ubuntu installer using d-i | 14:52 |
| dcullen | They may already be member of sudo, adm, or admin | 14:52 |
| L3top | dhanasekaran: again... I wouldn't use d-i | 14:52 |
| MA111 | I see, so I'll need to set perms for groups on that mount point, and let fstab just stay as it is . | 14:52 |
| dhanasekaran | L3top, I am pressed.cfg file http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101892/ | 14:52 |

| dhanasekaran | L3top, please check my config file | 14:53 |
| plain-person | whats the easiest way to add people to groups? | 14:53 |
| L3top | dhanasekaran: I have... and THIS is why I don't use d-i | 14:53 |
| dcullen | MA111: Did you add user to your options in fstab? | 14:53 |
| L3top | dhanasekaran: well... unless I have to... like on an install cd/dvd | 14:53 |

| * L3top likes /ubiquity for as much as possible too. | 14:54 | |
| dhanasekaran | L3top, ok, Any help for me.. my constrain | 14:54 |
| dcullen | MA111: Also, I usually create a work group and add all users that need access to shared resource to the group. | 14:54 |
| MA111 | dcullen: No, "defaults" suppoed to be "rw, user" , amongst other things. | 14:54 |
| MA111 | yes, I'll take that approach . | 14:55 |
| * TheWhiteHatter is going to use 2 hi-power fans to force air through his case. Laptop draw air through bottom, this not good | 14:55 | |
| dcullen | MA111: Use "defaults,user", "rw" is part of "defaults" | 14:55 |
| TheWhiteHatter | I have about ~80 spare pc fans in a cabinet. I'm deciding how far overboard I want to go. | 14:56 |
| MA111 | dcullen: I see, great, thank you. | 14:56 |
| dcullen | TheWhiteHatter: add enough fans so that the PC can hover above the ground | 14:56 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | TheWhiteHatter: sell them on ebay. | 14:56 |

| fuzzyghost | I am being seen, right? | 15:26 |

| fuzzyghost | Okay, I've been to a few channels where they wouldn't even talk to me. | 15:26 |

| dcullen | plain-person: Also, might as well have a look at the output of "whoami" | 15:27 |
| L3top | delac: Totem is a c++ implementation of gstreamer. I know nothing about customizing it, but if you are wondering why it does not follow a theme or something, it is not written that way. | 15:27 |
| Jural | @plain-person: Have you tried moving the home directory of the account not working and then logging in with that account? | 15:27 |
| plain-person | dcullen: *embarrassed* Yes, not sure since I didnt have to login manually, it was all automatic and I am generally speaking a very confused person. I will run groups and whoami and paste it in the bin thingie. | 15:27 |
| L3top | fuzzyghost: there are a few thousand people in here. Replying to every "hello" would be chaos. | 15:27 |
| fuzzyghost | I understand. | 15:28 |
| delac | L3top: on gnome it does default to dark theme if one is available. But this icon stuff is really odd. | 15:28 |
| L3top | plain-person: is this an analog connection (to speakers) and is anything muted in alsamixer? | 15:28 |
| L3top | delac: I wouldn't expect that... but I haven't looked at the source in a long time... my knowledge is pretty darned dated. | 15:29 |

| dcullen_ | plain-person: Did you say anything I might have missed while I was booted? | 15:32 |
| chu | fuzzyghost: I'm under the impression that there would be some location in your home drive for "custom" (modified) themes. I'll do some digging around, but I don't really know much, so can't guarantee anything. | 15:33 |
| SaMa48 | LIST | 15:33 |
| plain-person | L3top: The laptop uses in-built speakers, and occasionally I plug some external speakers to it. | 15:34 |
| chu | fuzzyghost: I have perhaps found something! | 15:34 |
| L3top | Sorry plain-person... didn't catch that this was a laptop. And you say sometimes you hear audio but not generally when you expect to?/ | 15:35 |
| fuzzyghost | Oh, thank you chu! | 15:36 |
| plain-person | L3top: If I login with my regular account, I get no sound at all, and no sound device appears in volume control. If I log in with a different account (this one, which I have created precisely to deal with this), sound works OK, only that the inbuilt speakers keep sounding also when I plug the external ones. | 15:36 |

| dcullen_ | L3top: I was just getting my head wrapped around ALSA (I did some driver work to get a TI codec working on a custom Atmel board) when Pulse came along | 15:38 |
| dcullen_ | L3top: What do you think is behind all of this "different account" business? | 15:39 |
| L3top | plain-person: I would like to see the output of sudo aplay -l on that other account. | 15:39 |
| chu | fuzzyghost: So, this might be a bit too "easy" for you - I don't know where in learning curve you are - but have a look here: http://maketecheasier.com/install-custom-gnome-shell-themes/2011/09/27 (under the sub-heading | 15:39 |
| plain-person | L3top: Ahmmm... OK, I will try to get that, but I am afraid I won't be able to get to the terminal or copy the output (touchpad stops working in 20 seconds) | 15:40 |
| chu | fuzzyghost: "Installing Themes". Now, as far as the actual editing/reference the system themes go, I don't have any knowledge, so would recommend cracking open any custom themes you have available and seeing how they do it.) [Sorry for the double post.] | 15:40 |
| L3top | dcullen_: The modules aren't being loaded is my guess.. but it is a blind one. Very weird situation. I beleive jack may be a depends of pulse. I deal only with alsa directly. | 15:40 |

| Joelixny | L3top~ Well, it found some errors in /, but I fixed those, and that didn't change the booting, and they came back after when I checked again, so I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that I have to forcefully powerdown each time it hangs. | 15:46 |

| plain-person | L3top: The output of aplay -l is the same as in the other user, although it took it a little while to process the command | 15:49 |

| * plain-person closes her eyes and visualizes a green meadow and nice things and no chaos at all, but order and sense | 15:49 | |
| Joelixny | dcullen_~ I didn't, I tried rootdelay=3 at first, and it had no effect, so this time I tried 4000 in case it was in miliseconds, and the hang occurs about 3.5 seconds into the booting. | 15:50 |
| dcullen_ | Joelixny: Wouldn't be the first time the docs were wrong. Lesse what the LXR says | 15:50 |
| L3top | What kind of spider is that? Nothing necrotic I hope. | 15:50 |

| L3top | plain-person: I don't know that this is a favored recommendation, but I would sudo apt-get remove pulse*; sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils but... that is just me. Pulse just seems to cause me all sorts of problems. | 15:52 |
| usuario_ | hey there | 15:54 |
| plain-person | L3top: I would follow all recommendations. In fact, I have been a bit confused from the beginning with the whole Alsa and pulseaudio business. What are they, why do I need both, or do I? | 15:54 |
| L3top | pulse is a layer on top of alsa... because alsa on its own can be very confusing... most find pulse easier to manage. It has not been my experience. | 15:55 |
| dcullen | I keep getting a network disconnection. Wonder if the IT folks are busting me | 15:55 |
| plain-person | Oh. So is pulse some sort of UI thingie pasted ontop of alsa, which is the driver? or how? | 15:56 |
| dcullen | Putting another layer on top of ALSA makes things look like an archaeological dig | 15:56 |
| dcullen | plain-person: There's more to Pulse than just a GUI | 15:56 |
| plain-person | dcullen: Considering I am quite green, do you think it would be a good idea to remove pulse as L3top suggests? | 15:56 |
| dcullen | L3top: Can Pulse be removed without plain-person having to select an action to handle broken dependencies? | 15:57 |
| L3top | There should be no broken dependencies. | 15:57 |
| L3top | alsa does not require pulse. | 15:58 |
| mariyan | L3top, | 15:58 |

| plain-person | L3top: In case things go wrong: would it be possible to reinstall pulse without complications? | 15:59 |
| L3top | Is that something bluetoothy? I am unfamiliar with it mariyan. | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | plain-person, for what it's worth pulseaudio like L3top says pulseaudio makes things easier to manage as long as your alsamixer ctrls are turned on , but pavuaudio is like a gui for pulseaudio which may or may not be needed depending on your type of audio card.. If you have a pci audio card , pulseaudio will probly be required , onboards can usually work well alsa alone . | 15:59 |
| chu | fuzzyghost: Well, that's a tough one. I can't guarantee anything, but again I will do some digging :) | 15:59 |

| chu | fuzzyghost: I can't seem to find anything about *editing* the gnome-classic session. What I can find however is a link on installing the older Ubuntu themes (like "Ambiance", "Radiance", etc) for gnome-classic.

| fortmac | I have a question about a corrupt cd rom while installing ubuntu through VMWare. | 16:36 |
| ramkr | never used it too, but assuming things don't work easily - restrictions wise it might be an easy way to start | 16:36 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ dcullen_~ I fixed the booting problem. I used pci=noacpi, I should of known before... To shed to light into the issue, my main drive is connected through a pci slot (mSata SSD). | 16:36 |
| ScottHarrison | ramkr, it's not a case of things not working, was just a bit frustrating until i found the right tutorial | 16:37 |
| L3top | [11:45:22] <L3top> I did not Joelixny. I just am sort of staring dumbfounded at the situation. ALl I can come up with is power management conflicts. I do not remember it exactly off the top of my head, but you might try adding the noacpi argument to grub as a test. :P | 16:37 |
| ScottHarrison | ramkr, if you want to set it up, i can link you to a good tut | 16:37 |
| fortmac | I am being told that file:///cdrom/pool/main/k/klibc/klibc-utils_1.5.25-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb is corrupt | 16:37 |
| ramkr | Scoot - yes please | 16:37 |
| fortmac | but I just downloaded the .iso from ubuntu directly | 16:38 |
| fortmac | there should be no issue | 16:38 |

| jiffe98 | is it possible to play bluray straight from disk via ubuntu yet? | 16:38 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ Yes, I added it as per your advice, thanks. Now the only major issue I have is my broken xorg.conf :P | 16:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | fortmac, Did you md5sum check the ISO? | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | fortmac you can also download the iso and install that | 16:38 |

| ScottHarrison | I've got to go, getting late | 16:40 |
| ScottHarrison | ciao all | 16:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | fortmac, If the md5sum agrees with that provided, I don't see how one of the files could be corrupt. Something definately sounds wrong. | 16:40 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ http://pastebin.com/5ugxYs1r | 16:40 |

| Sidewinder1 | fortmac, I'm not familiar with vmware at all, sorry. :-( However if one or more of the files are corrupt just re-download until you get an ISO whose md5sum matches the one provided. You might also try using a torrent as they have some 'built-in' error correctioins. | 16:43 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ Okay. I'll do that then. | 16:44 |
| fortmac | Sidewinder1, I tried both the direct server download and the torrent file from ubuntu's website | 16:44 |

| beandog | semarjt: run groups as both users, and see if there's a difference | 16:54 |
| Phibs | no error, but its not using my preseed | 16:54 |
| Phibs | I am using cobbler w/ pxe + ks file which is a preseed afaik | 16:55 |
| semarjt | groups | 16:55 |
| semarjt | is that a command | 16:55 |

| L3top | lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | grep kernel | 17:01 |
| kyle__ | If you just have the tftpd installed, and set your DHCP server to allow booting, you just copy the pxe files from the CD to the tftpd directory. Edit the pxe config file (I forget it sname off the top of my head). Then when you pxe boot you get the ubuntu installer. | 17:01 |
| kyle__ | After that, you just tweek the files a little to point to your repo (http or whatever), and to run the install automatically. | 17:01 |
| L3top | pxelinux.cfg I believe kyle__ | 17:02 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ The command you gave me now gives no output, but adding -i before kernel, like the one you gave me last night does. | 17:02 |

| Phibs | kyle__: ah ok | 17:06 |
| Phibs | any example ks.cfgs | 17:06 |
| kyle__ | Phibs: What I did was make my kickstart file, put it in my webserver that had the 'buntu packages, and then edited the txt.cfg for syslinux to do the install automagically | 17:06 |
| igor__ | i'm trying to configure a HP2710p (tablet) to work with Ubuntu 12.04. Issue is related to monitor that does not turns when in tablet mode. i searched and find that i should add a line to the file "/boot7loader.conf" | 17:07 |
| igor__ | well :) i cannot find that file :P | 17:07 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I used 'sudo apt-get remove bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia' but I still see it during boot messages | 17:07 |
| kyle__ | Phibs: I can't find the one I saved...by if you install system-config-kickstart you get a nice little gui to make a ks file for you. You need to edit it afterwards, but that's what I based mine on. | 17:07 |
| joel135 | igor__: try replacing '7' by '/' | 17:07 |
| L3top | Joelixny: that is... less than awesome. I would try sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee* | 17:07 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ hashed, and purged | 17:08 |
| igor__ | joel135, that's not the issue if i cd to boot folder and then ls | 17:09 |

| BobMarley | somebody knows some free video editor? | 17:13 |
| MonkeyDust | BobMarley openshot | 17:13 |
| MonkeyDust | or cinerella | 17:13 |
| okay | Joelixny okay | 17:13 |
| joel135 | BobMarley: blender is a widely used one | 17:13 |
| kyle__ | EMIS: If you're having trouble, I've found mplayer much more efficient. Something like mplayer -vo xv -fs -framedrop <filename> | 17:13 |
| dupa123 | how can i setup gateway for tun0? | 17:13 |
| BobMarley | i need one that is free | 17:14 |
| kyle__ | EMIS: But I'm not going to be around to troubleshoot it much, so use at your own risk. | 17:14 |
| EMIS | OK kyle__, thanks\ | 17:14 |
| EMIS | Well, mplayer works under linux? | 17:14 |
| exarkun | if I try to suspend my laptop, a dialog pops up saying "A program is still running", "Chromium Web Browser", "Power Save Blocker". And my laptop does not suspend. | 17:15 |
| exarkun | How do I make my system suspend even if "Chrome Web Browser" (or any other program, for that matter) is "Power Save Blocker"? | 17:15 |

| BobMarley | from a video | 17:15 |
| MonkeyDust | BobMarley the ones i mentioned are free | 17:15 |
| BobMarley | MonkeyDust, thanks | 17:16 |
| BobMarley | yhanks for everybody for the suggestions | 17:16 |
| Phibs | kyle__: so you're saying I don't even need preseed shit, I can use kickstart format for UBUNTU? | 17:16 |
| joel135 | BobMarley: i think you can do that just using Totem (pre-installed) | 17:16 |
| kyle__ | Phibs: Yea, prettymuch. There is a preseed there if you look, but it's server-minimal (in my case) | 17:17 |
| kyle__ | Phibs: The stock preseed, unchanged | 17:17 |
| Phibs | ah ok | 17:17 |
| prashant_123456 | alt + tab not working in ubuntu 12.04 no compiz config | 17:18 |

| EMIS | I've tried mplayer to play MTS files, but no use! There is no video, just audio! I think I need an MTS video player for Ubuntu to play these files in low resolution! Any help? | 17:26 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ Okay, now it's working. Just wondering, what changes did you do? Also, the refresh rate is 50, but my screen is capable of 60. I haven't been able to set it to 60 in linux. | 17:27 |

| Joelixny | L3top~ That works perfectly! Thank you! The only problem I have left is the fact that my ttys and booting is low resolution (framebuffer?) but I think there's nothing I can do about that, right? | 17:43 |
| Phibs | kyle__: not using kickstart... | 17:44 |
| Phibs | just plain cobbler + preseed | 17:44 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: cvt 1600 900 60 | 17:44 |

| L3top | Joelixny: it is very possible that you can specify in grub. | 17:45 |
| nbubuntu | L3top : done http://pastebin.com/8y4upk5w and ? | 17:45 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ I saw some tutorials that said you could, but 1920x1080 is not listed in the available modes | 17:46 |
| L3top | Joelixny: it doesnt need to be that resolution to be the right resoltuion for non X | 17:48 |
| L3top | nbubuntu: http://pastebin.com/9Yaw0rhk do that and tell me if it changes your screeen and looks right | 17:49 |
| L3top | Joelixny: you just don't need 1080p for text and plymouth ;-) | 17:50 |
| nbubuntu | L3top: it doesn't output xrandr --output default --mode 1600x900_60.00 warning: output default not found; ignoring | 17:50 |
| L3top | sorry | 17:50 |
| L3top | my fault | 17:50 |

| L3top | change default to CRT1 | 17:50 |
| nbubuntu | oldwzd : 1920x1080 for HD , native ? I am using 1440x900 right now | 17:51 |
| Joelixny | L3top~ With the intel gpu the non x resolution is the native one, ideally I'd like for it to be it since I sometimes find myself going to the ttys quite often. Also, I don't get a spash screen | 17:51 |

| oldwzd | and? | 17:58 |
| nbubuntu | L3top : window 7 works fine :) but not on ubuntu , is it because I am using ati driver ? | 17:58 |
| dcullen007 | ...and the guys here say you can't damage an LCD with a bad modeline | 17:58 |
| dcullen007 | CRT != LCD | 17:59 |
| L3top | dcullen007: the reason you would get bad or no is a built in measure to prevent damage... but it is far from foolproof. The documentation all states that bad modelines are a bad thing. This will delve into an off topic discussion based on supposition though... suffice it to say... he needed to reboot | 17:59 |

| Guest50775 | Hello. I have installed Ubuntu on a usb with penlinuxdrive and set the permanency to the full 4GB, However the changes I make are not saved to the usb, any suggestions? | 18:54 |
| L3top | dcullen: nilfs... sort of. Subversion + WebDAV... sort of. | 18:54 |
| trism | jbwiv: what it is configured to in ccsm/Unity/Key to execute a command? | 18:54 |
| jbwiv | trism, <alt>F2 | 18:55 |
| jbwiv | trism, alt by itself pulls up the HUD, so I know the key is woriking | 18:56 |
| jbwiv | working | 18:56 |
| trism | jbwiv: maybe something is conflicting with it? try changing it to something else and seeing if it comes up | 18:57 |
| dcullen | L3top: nilfs? Does that stand for the NULL file system? | 18:59 |
| L3top | New Implementation of a Log-structured File System | 19:00 |
| Guest50775 | exit | 19:00 |
| Phibs | after net booting, it looks like it's not detecting the network drivers | 19:00 |
| Phibs | Guest50775: no!!! | 19:00 |
| dcullen | L3top: oh, good. I was studying Object C recently, and they use "nil" for "NULL", so i got a little nervous | 19:01 |
| L3top | exarkun: I have been looking a LOT and do not see much at all about this issue... I am using KDE, but do you have the ability to not use "safe suspend"" | 19:01 |
| dcullen | Thanks, L3top. I'll give it a shot! | 19:01 |
| dcullen | OK, how do I know if I'm running Unity 2D instead of Unity? | 19:02 |
| L3top | !find nilfs | 19:02 |
| ubottu | Found: nilfs-tools, nilfs-tools-dbg | 19:02 |
| jbwiv | trism, odd...remapping it did indeed work. wonder how I'd go about tracking down the conflict? | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | dcullen logout and watch in the menu | 19:02 |
| exarkun | L3top: I wonder where "safe suspend" might be configured in Unity(?). The "Power" configuration dialog doesn't talk about that at all, it just gives options for configuring how long it takes before suspend/hibernate/etc happens. | 19:03 |
| dcullen | MonkeyDust: That's my only option? | 19:03 |
| felipe_Brz | i need to upgrade my version of openoffice and I think the easiest answer is to upgrade the whole of ubuntu.... however I can't really afford to even remotely update the OS if there's any chance of it breaking any stuff I currently use like php, git, all development stack | 19:04 |
| MonkeyDust | dcullen frankly, i don't like/use unity, it was the only thing that came on my mind | 19:04 |
| === haylo is now known as hayloOutToLunch | ||
| felipe_Brz | so i'd like toknow whether there's any chance at all of the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 to break any existing functionality on my OS | 19:05 |
| ThinkT510 | dcullen: hold down the super key | 19:05 |
| bekks | felipe_Brz: Yes, there is a chance. | 19:05 |
| ThinkT510 | dcullen: it shows a panel of shortcuts on unity, but doesn't on unity2d | 19:06 |
| benassi_ | hello... does anyone know how to make torrent client go after minimize up on the right corner... next to dropbox,mail,connection icon | 19:06 |

| ThinkT510 | felipe_Brz: there is always a chance | 19:06 |
| felipe_Brz | hmmm | 19:06 |
| ThinkT510 | dcullen: the windows logo | 19:06 |
| L3top | exarkun: might need to play around with dconf-tools | 19:07 |
| felipe_Brz | but not significant? | 19:07 |
| ThinkT510 | felipe_Brz: depends on your setup | 19:07 |
| bekks | felipe_Brz: Depends on your environment. | 19:07 |
| felipe_Brz | hmmm | 19:07 |
| exarkun | L3top: I'll look into that. | 19:07 |
| bwat47 | benassi_: if you are using transmission there is an option in preferences > desktop to "show transmission in the notification area" | 19:08 |
| L3top | exarkun: as far as I am concerned this is a bug, and you should file it as such. | 19:08 |
| felipe_Brz | bekks: ThinkT510 thanks | 19:09 |
| exarkun | L3top: I don't think I've ever had a bug I filed against Ubuntu closed, except as "The release this bug is filed against is no longer supported. Please upgrade and open a new bug if the problem persists." | 19:09 |
| Relondo | When I hibernate, I am shown a text line that gives the snapshotting status. When it finishes, it displays "SI" and does not turn off. I have to manually hold the power button until my laptop turns off, but it does restore as expected when I bring it out of hibernation. | 19:09 |

| Doxin | I'm looking to set up a DNS server, but most of it goes whooshing over my head. what's a good place to start? | 19:11 |
| Relondo | exarkun: Almost. I have 4 gigs of RAM, and 3.48 gigs of swap. However, my RAM is shared between the GPU and CPU, so the CPU only has access to 3.3 gigs. Does that matter? | 19:12 |

| New2Ubuntu | whats the way of installing a 3g modem if the driver is not available? | 19:12 |
| bekks | New2Ubuntu: There is no way without the driver. | 19:12 |
| exarkun | Relondo: Hmm. I dunno. I guess if "free" (or an equivalent) reports your physical memory as less than your swap, you might be okay. But I have no direct experience with that case. | 19:13 |
| trism | jbwiv: not really sure, you could search ccsm in the advanced search section for f2 (checking the search in setting values box), but ccsm will usually warn on duplicate settings | 19:13 |
| New2Ubuntu | i only have the driver for windows but the documentation says it should work with mac and linux | 19:13 |
| exarkun | Relondo: If hibernate _ever_ worked in your current configuration, then swap size is probably not the problem. | 19:13 |
| kyle__ | New2Ubuntu: Does prehaps, something show up like a /dev/ttyUSB? | 19:13 |
| benassi_ | bwat47, thank you | 19:13 |
| jbwiv | trism, ok, thanks for the help | 19:13 |
| exarkun | But if you just upgraded your RAM, it probably is the problem. | 19:13 |
| Relondo | exarkun: It does work. I just have to power off myself. | 19:13 |
| trism | jbwiv: otherwise, you may have installed something which grabs the keys before compiz gets them, but I'm not sure what that would be | 19:13 |
| Doxin | ThinkT510: the problem is not installing the server or the configs, but I have no idea how the DNS records work. | 19:13 |
| benassi_ | how can I do same with xchat? | 19:13 |
| Relondo | exarkun: And I have never upgraded my RAM. | 19:13 |
| exarkun | Relondo: Ah. I misunderstood. I guess it has nothing to do with the amount of swap you have. | 19:13 |
| ThinkT510 | Doxin: nor do i, apologies | 19:14 |
| New2Ubuntu | it detects the device as a memory stick @ kyle__ | 19:14 |
| jbwiv | trism I wonder why alt+f2 no longer appears in the Keyboard Shortcuts popup if you hold super? | 19:14 |
| New2Ubuntu | but i don't know how to force ubuntu to look for a driver for it | 19:14 |
| MDKAOD | Looking for a bit of help. Fresh install Ubuntu server 12.04 32bit on an old Dell PE2650. I can only install in text mode but when the install is complete, immediately upon grub & boot, my monitor throws an "Out of Range" error. CTRL+ALT+F1, F2, F7 nothing does anything. Suggestions? | 19:14 |
| Relondo | exarkun: Well, as to the shared RAM thing, does it make sense that under "System Monitor" I would only be able to see 3.3 of my 4 gigs, since it is shared RAM? Or should I be able to see all of it anyway? | 19:14 |
| Relondo | New2Ubuntu: Did you check the internet for a driver? | 19:15 |
| New2Ubuntu | yeah. i checked the site and it only gives device information. no link for driver :( | 19:15 |
| Relondo | New2Ubuntu: See if there is a community-made driver. | 19:15 |
| New2Ubuntu | how can i check that? | 19:15 |
| exarkun | Relondo: I think that makes sense, yes. | 19:16 |
| trism | jbwiv: I'm not really sure what you are asking, which popup? in ccsm? or the System Settings/Keyboard applet? | 19:16 |
| Relondo | New2Ubuntu: Other than that, your options are code a driver for yourself. Sorry. | 19:16 |
| Relondo | New2Ubuntu: Google something like "[your modem's model number] ubuntu driver" | 19:16 |
| trism | jbwiv: oh you mean the listing of shortcuts that pop up when you hold super | 19:17 |
| trism | jbwiv: not sure, it doesn't appear on my netbook (I guess the screen is too small), I'll check my desktop | 19:17 |
| Relondo | exarkun: Alright, because I had wondered about that before, and sorta assumed that was the reason. | 19:17 |
| txomon | hi, can anyone tell me why glibc6-doc is not a build-essentials dependency? | 19:18 |
| Relondo | exarkun: So does that mean I only have .7 gigs of graphical RAM? Or can shared RAM be shared more either way? (As in more to the CPU or more to the GPU). | 19:18 |
| exarkun | Relondo: I dunno | 19:18 |
| fortmac | does anyone know where ubuntu puts the apxs for an apache configuration? | 19:19 |
| Relondo | exarkun: Alright. Thanks for the help. | 19:19 |
| txomon | fortmac: ? apx? nearly sure in /lib or /usr/lib | 19:20 |
| txomon | fortmac: /var/lib/apache2/modules | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | MDKAOD, can you get to a TTY prompt ctl+alt+F1 or F2 , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:21 |
| fortmac | txomon: neither of those are working | 19:22 |
| txomon | fortmac: but the modules are there I suppose | 19:22 |
| fortmac | txomon: var/lib doesnt have an apache2 folder | 19:22 |
| fortmac | *directory | 19:22 |
| MDKAOD | BluesKaj: C+A+F1 or F2 does nothing, remains with out of range error | 19:23 |
| jbwiv | how does one cancel an fsck during boot? if I hit ctrl+c, it simply kills the fsck and leaves the file system in read only mode | 19:23 |
| fortmac | txomon: correct tehre are modules in /usr/lib/apache2/modules | 19:23 |
| MDKAOD | BluesKaj: Also tried two different install images, Server from CD and NetInst. | 19:23 |
| fortmac | txomon: but no apxs | 19:24 |
| MDKAOD | BluesKaj: The CD install threw errors before even loading the installer. | 19:24 |
| txomon | find / 2>/dev/null | grep "apache2/modules" | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | MDKAOD, have you tried the alternate install cd (text install) | 19:25 |
| txomon | that will find all the places with modules | 19:25 |
| txomon | fortmac: and you should truly look for http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/apxs.html | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | !alternate | MDKAOD | 19:25 |
| ubottu | MDKAOD: 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 | 19:25 |
| Nickbertus | hey, is it able to change the monitor rotation just on the 2nd workspace? | 19:25 |
| MDKAOD | BluesKaj: I was under the impression that the Mini.iso in text mode was similar. I will try the alternate installer. Thanks. | 19:26 |
| mbalmer | Nickbertusch | 19:26 |
| fortmac | txomon: that returned the whole /usr/lib/apache2/modules directory | 19:26 |
| mbalmer | Nickbertus, check out xrandr | 19:26 |
| fortmac | txomon: I guess I dont have it installed? | 19:26 |
| Relondo | New2Ubuntu: Did you find one? | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | MDKAOD, I've had alot of success with the alternate cd , on many different pcs , both old and new | 19:27 |

| mirak | there is a bug on the keyring password prompt. It steals the cursor and no other windows can take it | 19:29 |
| LetterRip | dcullen not supporyed in my bios | 19:29 |
| dcullen | o.O | 19:29 |
| Seveas | mirak, that's a feature, not a bug | 19:29 |
| mirak | Seveas, that's a bug | 19:30 |
| LetterRip | are there any grub rescue commands so far all i can do is ls | 19:30 |
| ThinkT510 | mirak: disagreeing doesn't make it true | 19:30 |
| mirak | Seveas, because XBMC is set to start at login, and it starts in fullscreen, so it goes OVER the password prompt, and it doesn't get keyboard focus | 19:30 |
| mirak | ThinkT510, the usage makes it true | 19:31 |
| kselltrum | exist or not somewhere a program, which could, like software video mixer, switch video sources in real time? | 19:31 |
| mirak | it's just dumb that a window can get keyboard focus if it's not even visible. THat's definitely a bug. | 19:31 |
| Seveas | mirak, ah, the bug is that the password promt lets XBMC go fullscreen, not that it steals focus | 19:32 |
| mirak | and in this case it is exclusive keyboard focus | 19:32 |
| mirak | you can't do anything beside typing in that box | 19:32 |
| mirak | even if you don't even know there is a box | 19:32 |
| mirak | because it can be hidden by something else | 19:32 |
| mirak | Seveas, no. Not entering the password should not prevent you to use any application that doesn't need it | 19:34 |
| MonkeyDust | please guys | 19:34 |
| mirak | Seveas, if you think it should, then you should not autorise automatic login | 19:35 |

| Riley88 | and ive tried just about every fix out there | 19:45 |
| arooni-mobile | usr13, should i ask the designer for a .svg file instead of converting it first | 19:45 |
| arooni-mobile | usr13, i htink i read that inkscape can now open .ai files directly | 19:45 |
| usr13 | arooni-mobile: I don't think so... not sure tho | 19:45 |

| arooni-mobile | as it is a vector format | 19:52 |

| okay | why is compiz using 50% cpu on default settings? | 21:06 |
| okay | 50% of a dual core -_- | 21:06 |
| L3top | jvargas: You would have to uninstall tomcat7 and install tomcat6. Typically it isn't like that. Tomcat has different package names, this actually makes it easier. | 21:08 |

| RSvedman | Hi, I have bad flash perfromance since a few days back, in 12.04 amd64 | 21:15 |
| akem | don't forget your body armor | 21:15 |
| RSvedman | Overall slowness, plus when flashgames play sound effects they freeze while the sound plays | 21:15 |
| RSvedman | or rather freeze a pltisecond at the beginning of every new sound | 21:15 |
| RSvedman | split | 21:15 |
| burntchips | hi, im just trying to learn about the terminal & i noticed 'ls -d .* | less' lists '.' but how come it does this if wildcard * = any characters, yet '.' isnt followed by any characters, so shouldnt be listed (by my logic)? | 21:16 |
| user_ | Hey i just installed kvm in ubuntu, by running apt-get install kvm qemu, then i created a virtual disk by running qemu-img create -f qcow2 distro.img 100G, and finally ran it by running: kvm -hda virtualdisk.img -cdrom distro.iso -m 256 -net nic -net user -soundhw all...

| livingdaylight | Hia, does someone know, whether Unity can be set to auto-hide to increase realestate potential on laptop? | 21:21 |
| guntbert | livingdaylight: the launche can be set to autohide, yes | 21:22 |
| jwxtt | Laurenceb_, maybe that error has nothing to do with your executable (some say that error is caused by the bluez-alsa package) just out of curiosity, what app are you trying to run? | 21:22 |
| livingdaylight | guntbert, brilliant | 21:22 |
| guntbert | livingdaylight: although I must admit that I don't remember how i did it | 21:23 |
| Laurenceb_ | jwxtt: SDRSharp | 21:23 |
| Laurenceb_ | is there a config for bluez-alsa? | 21:24 |
| DJones | livingdaylight: Appearance -> Behaviour -> Autohide the launcher | 21:25 |

| DanielHoffman | when i connect my xbox through my ubuntu gateway, i can use xbox live but i cant talk to one of my freinds. the xbox says 'Cant Connect to XBox Live Party" and we cant play halo either, it says "This Players Stats are Unavalible, they may have a network disruption. is there a way i can fix this? | 21:28 |
| geminga | can someone please give me an IRC server address for Virtual Box, or isnt such channel even there? | 21:28 |
| DanielHoffman | try google | 21:28 |
| ThinkT510 | !vbox | 21:29 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 21:29 |
| DanielHoffman | thanks ubottu | 21:29 |
| DJones | geminga: I thought the channel was #vbox (could be wrong on that) | 21:29 |
| geminga | thanks hope itll help me:)) | 21:29 |
| usr13 | DJones: YOu are correct | 21:29 |
| DanielHoffman | if it helps, i have the iptables config | 21:29 |
| geminga | btw #vbox was right thank you:)) | 21:30 |
| RSvedman_ | Oh crud I got disconnected | 21:30 |
| DanielHoffman | how could you have typed that then? | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | DanielHoffman, , what is your ubuntu pc using as a gateway ? | 21:30 |
| DanielHoffman | BluesKaj: it uses an iptables configureation | 21:31 |
| halvors | I want to setup a wifi accesspoint on my server, but i can't get it working using the "interfaces" file in "/etc/network". Here is what i got for now: http://pastebin.com/hWz3bDhd | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | no I mean physical connection , DanielHoffman | 21:31 |
| DanielHoffman | USB to Ethernet going to the xbox and Motherboard ethernet going to the modem | 21:32 |
| DanielHoffman | Xbox Live works but i cant talk to a freind | 21:32 |
| DanielHoffman | i should rephrase that, we can message but cant connect in a game or xbox live | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | no other ethernet ports on the modem then | 21:33 |
| niklas_ | hey, could anyone tell me the terminal command, which press a key ? | 21:33 |
| DanielHoffman | no | 21:33 |
| RSvedman_ | And I forgot the nick of the person helping me out.. (any chance you see me?) | 21:33 |
| DanielHoffman | i think it may be a host problem, the only time we talked on xbox is if there is a 3rd person there | 21:34 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: What type of internet connection do you have? DSL? Cable? or....??? | 21:35 |
| DanielHoffman | Cable | 21:35 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: So you have a cable modem. Right? | 21:36 |
| reuf | how can i ls two levels deep | 21:36 |
| DanielHoffman | yes | 21:36 |
| halvors | What happend to the opendchub package? | 21:36 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: That is what BluesKaj was asking. | 21:36 |
| DanielHoffman | ohh, that makes sense | 21:36 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: And the cable modem is more-than-likely a cable-modem/router? Yes? No? | 21:37 |
| DanielHoffman | yes | 21:37 |
| usr13 | Ok. There you go BluesKaj | 21:37 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: In other words, the cable-modem/router has more than just one eithernet ports on it, and your Ubuntu box is plugged into one of them. Right? | 21:38 |
| DanielHoffman | yes | 21:38 |
| DanielHoffman | but the other ones are filled | 21:38 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Ok, so what do you have going on with iptables? | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, yeah , but only has one ethernet connection to the modem , I'm thinking another ethernet port on the modem would solve tthe problem , or an inexpensive etherent hub/router | 21:39 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Do you have a script, or a firewall file? | 21:39 |
| DanielHoffman | ill get the rc.local file, it contains data you need | 21:39 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: He just said that there are more than one ethernet port on the modem, so it is a cable-modem/router. | 21:40 |
| DanielHoffman | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/72671460/iptable.txt | 21:40 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, quote : BluesKaj> no other ethernet ports on the modem then? ...answer : quote <DanielHoffman> no | 21:42 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Define $xbox_ip for us. | 21:42 |
| DanielHoffman | that is the xbox i address from the USB to Ethernet device | 21:42 |
| DanielHoffman | IP address,sorry | 21:42 |
| * BluesKaj shrugs ... almost dinnertime | 21:43 | |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: Scroll up and see the answers he just gave to my questions. | 21:43 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Well, it would have to be defined somewhere, and you would need to have the xbox set to that IP. Do you? | 21:44 |
| DanielHoffman | it is | 21:44 |
| DanielHoffman | i can connect to xbox live but the problem is with 1 person | 21:45 |
| DanielHoffman | i think it uses another port i dont address | 21:45 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: I do not see where $xbox-ip is defined. | 21:45 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Is the xbox set to a static IP | 21:45 |
| DanielHoffman | it is at the top of the file, try to refresh | 21:45 |
| Krenair | Anyone else had trouble with flash videos freezing every few seconds? | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | usr13, no , i won't bother ..you can handle it ...should set the IPs in the interfaces file or hosts.allow might work too | 21:45 |
| DanielHoffman | yes it is set to a static ip | 21:45 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: Oh sorry. I see it. | 21:46 |
| usr13 | BluesKaj: So you know for sure that the xbox is set to 192.168.2.2 Right? | 21:46 |
| DanielHoffman | yes | 21:46 |
| DanielHoffman | the gateway is 192.168.2.1; subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 | 21:47 |
| DanielHoffman | and DNS is:8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4 | 21:47 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Sorry wrong nic. And it is plugged into eth0 on the Ubuntu PC? | 21:47 |
| jwxtt | Laurenceb_, i assume you have already read this http://sdrsharp.com/index.php/downloads#comment-35 it has been said that the error message you posted comes and goes if you install/uninstall that package. i'm not into configuring bluetoth if you want to do that. good luck | 21:47 |
| DanielHoffman | the internet is plugged into eth0; the xbox is eth1 | 21:47 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Yea, ok. Well, I would need to know what the cable-modem/router's inside IP is? Is it 192.168.1.1 ? or...? | 21:49 |
| DanielHoffman | 192.168.1.1 | 21:49 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Ok.... | 21:49 |
| usr13 | And so the xbox is set to 192.168.2.2 with default gateway of 192.168.2.1 ? | 21:50 |
| DanielHoffman | yes | 21:50 |
| usr13 | Then your iptables rules look ok, as long as you are designating the correct ports 53,88 and 3074 #Is that correct? | 21:51 |
| Debolaz | Has anyone here gotten the webapps preview to work? Firefox doesn't ask me if I want to integrate on any of the websites that are supposed to be supported. | 21:51 |
| DanielHoffman | no other item is using it besides the xbox | 21:52 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: What is the original problem? It is doing ________, but not doing ________? | 21:54 |
| DanielHoffman | i cant talk to a freind on xbox, i think it may be a NAT problem | 21:54 |
| hollenjf | How do I change the screen saver with this new Ubuntu release? | 21:55 |
| DanielHoffman | i can only talk to him if there is a 3rd person | 21:55 |
| MonkeyDust | hollenjf you may need xscreensaver | 21:55 |
| DanielHoffman | but it does work if i connect the xbox directly to the modem | 21:55 |
| === kaktuskuchen_ is now known as kaktuskuchen | ||
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Ok well, could be. You might need to see if there are other ports you need to forward. Or... change that up just a bit. | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | theres not a lot of screensavers installed by default. :) and gnomes screensaver fetures are rather minimal | 21:55 |
| Laurenceb_ | <jwxtt>: yeah fixed it now | 21:55 |
| Laurenceb_ | but more issues :S | 21:56 |
| === kaktuskuchen is now known as Guest82558 | ||
| DanielHoffman | i checked the xbox website and it needs port :80 53 88 3074 open | 21:56 |
| beandog | 53? isn't that for DNS? | 21:56 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: I don't know enough about xbox .... | 21:57 |
| Laurenceb_ | System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Type 'System.Configuration.DictionarySectionHandler' not found. | 21:57 |
| usr13 | beandog: Yes 53 is for DNS | 21:57 |
| DanielHoffman | ok | 21:57 |
| beandog | weird. | 21:57 |
| DanielHoffman | http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/network-ports-used-xbox-live | 21:57 |
| DanielHoffman | theres the port list | 21:57 |
| usr13 | DanielHoffman: Not sure why you need to forward those ports and only those ports to the xbox. Not sure why it's not just wied open? | 21:58 |
| hollenjf | MonkeyDust: well, the saver keeps coming on and locking my screen after a couple minuets. I need to stop that | 21:58 |
| DanielHoffman | i will try that. | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | hollenjf, thats the power saveings settings. Not screensaver. | 22:01 |
| Jake_ | Nvidia isnt detecting my monitor. I am capped at 800x600 and 1024x768 and the display reads "CRT(0)" Any help? | 22:03 |
| hollenjf | Dr_willis: Where are the power settings? | 22:04 |

| Dr_willis | hollenjf, in the settings somewhere.. Im not on ubuntu so cant check | 22:04 |
| MonkeyDust | hollenjf system settings, brightness & lock | 22:05 |
| hollenjf | Thank you! :) | 22:05 |
| Dr_willis | i wonder if the dash will find it.. tap 'alt' key then type 'lock' :) not sure if the dash/hud sees all the settings items yet | 22:06 |
| bwat47 | Dr_willis: HUD does find it :) | 22:10 |
| bwat47 | Dr_willis: and dash finds the brightness and lock control center module | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | getting scary when we need search engines to find settings. ;) | 22:10 |
| IdleOne | least they are making them easy to search for | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | HUD is my #1 favorite Unity Feature. Quicklists is #2 :) lens #3 | 22:11 |
| bwat47 | a little off topic but this is my new favorite way to lock screen. bring up hud type lock bam | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | theres a key combo to lock also.. | 22:12 |
| KorvinSzanto | why can't I sudo echo "127.0.0.1 derp" >> /etc/hosts | 22:12 |
| ghostchick | bwat47, simpler : keyboard shortcut | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | kortsi, because the >> does not have root rights. | 22:12 |
| KorvinSzanto | Dr_willis, how can I get around that? | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | kortsi, use sudo -i to get a root shell, then try it.. if you want. or you need to use 'tee' some how i recall. | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | kortsi, examples at --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | kortsi, also examples and discussed at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:14 |
| halvors | Anyone knows about a DC++ hub for Ubuntu? In the precise repos? | 22:15 |
| escott | KorvinSzanto, you can pipe to sudo tee -a instead of >> | 22:18 |
| dataviruset | "cannot open root device", "please append a correct root= boot option", what do I do about this? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15509066/IMAG0571.jpg :/ | 22:18 |
| KorvinSzanto | yeah escott that's what I ended up doing | 22:19 |
| KorvinSzanto | thanks | 22:19 |
| escott | dataviruset, boot to the livecd and run sudo blkid | 22:19 |
| dataviruset | escott: okay, and then I will have to make some changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg or something like that? | 22:21 |
| dataviruset | or /etc/fstab maybe | 22:22 |
| escott | dataviruset, probably | 22:22 |
| delinquentme | best options for reinstalling windows without redoing the existing ubuntu installation? | 22:23 |
| Dr_willis | delinquentme, learn to reinstall grub... use a differnt hard drive... | 22:24 |
| delinquentme | just wipe the windows partition .. reinstall and then something to override normal windows bootloader? | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis | delinquentme, we dont know your current setup, if you reinstall windows. it will install its own bootloader. and you will need to reinstall grub to the mbr. | 22:25 |
| delinquentme | so thats it then huh? just install windows in its partition and ensure that grub2 is where it needs to be? | 22:26 |
| phixxor | hey, I'm wondering what are some reasons a Hard Drive refuses to boot, but it still is read/writeable by live cds | 22:27 |
| phixxor | i tried installing grub, and it acted successful | 22:27 |
| bwat47 | what happens when you try and boot from it | 22:27 |
| dataviruset | escott: everything seems right in /etc/fstab when it comes to the UUID, but in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, there are strange things about set root='(hd1,msdos1)' which seems wrong | 22:27 |
| phixxor | bwat47, it says invalid boot diskette, no disk in drive A | 22:28 |
| phixxor | something like that | 22:28 |
| escott | dataviruset, without context i cant say for sure, but i think that is just grubs backup listing of the location. the kernel is clearly loaded and the kernel is searching for 8cfa... | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | delinquentme, windows will erase grub off the mbr if you only have one HD. you will need to then boot a live cd, or some how else reinstall grub to get linux booting | 22:29 |
| bwat47 | phixxor: did you check your bios boot order? It sounds like you might have the floppy drive set as highest boot priority. I cant think of any other reason for that error :/ | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | phixxor, A is the floppy drive. :) | 22:30 |
| * Dr_willis wonders how old that PC is. | 22:30 | |
| phixxor | bwat47, it's more complicated then that, Dr_willis if I use PloP boot manager on a cd, it doesn't even give me the option of booting from hdd | 22:30 |
| * phixxor checks -- it's a PIII | 22:30 | |
| Dr_willis | phixxor, ive never needed to use more then the ubuntu live cd.. | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | phixxor, but I would check In the PC - ;) I found an old pc once.. that actuallyt had a floppy drive that was not accessable from the outside of the case. (no idea why the guy put it in the case) | 22:32 |
| phixxor | Is there any way that the HDD could have been corrupted? It was working, then all of a sudden the comuter froze and it wouldn't boot | 22:32 |
| phixxor | Dr_willis, I have the case open, should I just disconnect the floppy? | 22:33 |
| bwat47 | phixxor: does the hard drive even show up in the bios? like if you go to the boot order settings (or some bios's have a boot menu you can bring up without going into the bios settings) | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | phixxor, I would.. unless you need it. :) | 22:33 |
| recon69_lap | phixxor: it could happen, HDD do fail. have you booted using a live cd? | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | phixxor, and disable it in the bios. | 22:33 |
| phixxor | i'll try doing all these things, thanks! | 22:33 |
| phixxor | recon69_lap, yeah I have booted from the live cd, but fixing grub didn't have any effect | 22:34 |
| * phixxor checks bios | 22:34 | |
| bwat47 | it sounds to me like the bios isn't even attemtping to boot from your hdd, therefore grub isn't being loaded | 22:34 |
| recon69_lap | phixxor: do a disk check from the live cd | 22:34 |
| recon69_lap | phixxor: do you have a usb drive attached, if so remove it when checking | 22:35 |
| recon69_lap | phixxor: I mean when booting make sure you have no usb drives attached, I get a blank screen if i have my exteral disk attached | 22:36 |
| bz | ry: are you the nodejs guy? | 22:36 |
| phixxor | ok | 22:37 |
| phixxor | WDC is detected from the BIOS -- i'm disabling the floppy | 22:37 |
| dataviruset | escott: hmm, but what can the error messages and the 'kernel panic' be? why isn't this booting? it's a USB stick I'm trying to boot from, by the way | 22:37 |
| bekks | recon69_lap: Because your computer tries to boot the external drive instead of the live cd. | 22:37 |
| bekks | phixxor: Disabling the floppy wont fix that problem. | 22:37 |
| phixxor | it's 'secondary ide master' | 22:37 |
| recon69_lap | bekks: dont think so, but i'd have to check the bios | 22:38 |
| phixxor | Ok -- the bios looks ok -- I'll try the disk check | 22:39 |
| escott | dataviruset, well it panics because it cannot find the stated root device 8cfa... the fact thats its USB could be the problem. has this system ever been able to boot a USB disk before? | 22:39 |
| recon69_lap | be right back :) | 22:39 |
| decio_crytek | Hey guys, if I install the current Ubuntu 12.10 Nightly Release, will I be able to upgrade to a future alpha, beta or Final version? | 22:40 |
| dataviruset | escott: yes, I have run the installation from another USb stick, maybe that's the problem | 22:40 |
| habib | Hi! How to uninstall apps? | 22:41 |
| decio_crytek | Hey guys, if I install the current Ubuntu 12.10 Nightly Release, will I be able to upgrade to a future alpha, beta or Final version? | 22:41 |
| escott | dataviruset, how did you create this usb system that won't boot, and in what usb boot mode is it supposed to be booted | 22:41 |
| decio_crytek | habit, go on the Ubuntu Software Center, click on installed, then uninstall the apps you don't want | 22:41 |
| escott | decio_crytek, yes | 22:41 |

| dataviruset | escoot: I booted off of a USB stick with the install of Ubuntu Server 12.04 32-bit.. i chose to create an ext4 partition and mount it as /. That stick was /dev/sdb when I installed and GRUB was also installed there | 22:43 |
| SecretFire | I am trying to install a program from terminal with sudo apt-get install but am getting This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 22:43 |
| SecretFire | is only available from another source | 22:43 |
| SecretFire | although the package is in ubuntu software center | 22:44 |
| phixxor | recon69_lap recommended that I try a disk check from ubuntu live cd -- does anybody know the name of it? | 22:44 |
| escott | dataviruset, that usually won't work. some bioses support booting as usb mass storage, but a more flexible and reliable method is to use either ubootnetin or usb-creator-gtk | 22:44 |
| andrew | hi | 22:44 |
| escott | dataviruset, but to just install to a usb device as if it were an internal harddrive.... well its not | 22:44 |
| === andrew is now known as Guest57194 | ||
| Guest57194 | im new to Ubuntu | 22:44 |
| smallfoot- | im homosexual | 22:45 |
| dataviruset | escott: hmm, ok... | 22:45 |
| recon69_lap | ok, USB was first boot device :-[ | 22:45 |
| Guest57194 | thats cool man. | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | I always install to external usb as if they were internal hds. :) | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | rarely have issues with them. but i dont have any older machines any more | 22:45 |
| escott | dataviruset, the fact that you even got the kernel up is actually somewhat encouraging. and if you could get the usb mass storage modules into the initrd, it might work, but its probably not portable | 22:45 |
| dataviruset | escott: so the problem is that the kernel can't mount the root filesystem because it can't communicate with that UUID? | 22:47 |
| dataviruset | maybe it would work with another USB stick? :) | 22:47 |
| escott | dataviruset, that would be my guess. since you got as far as the kernel, its probably just that the kernel is missing the usb drivers so it cant talk to the usb system until the root comes up. its not a problem with the stick itself | 22:48 |
| accerqueira | hi, is there a problem with ubuntu mounting lvm mounts at boot? | 22:48 |
| accerqueira | 12.04 i mean | 22:48 |
| escott | dataviruset, but again if you are doing this for portability many older bioses will not even get as far as booting the kernel | 22:48 |
| dataviruset | escott: then it would be hard to fix if the mass storage drivers aren't loaded that early | 22:49 |
| spacebarbarian | is there an easy way to check if all my traffic is going over vpn ? my downloads are way faster than they should be for some reason while connected | 22:49 |
| escott | dataviruset, if you want to try it. chroot in, make sure the usb modules are in /etc/modules and then update-initramfs | 22:49 |
| dataviruset | escott: hmm :) | 22:50 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, assumin your VPN is on tun0 interface, block all traffic originating from any other interface using ufw | 22:50 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer: it seems to be on tap0 does that make sense ? | 22:51 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, I'm only familiar with tun*, but if tap0 is treated like the tun interface, then it should work | 22:52 |
| spacebarbarian | hmm so should i disable traffic on eth0 | 22:52 |
| dataviruset | escott: I guess those modules would be something like usbhid, hid and usb_storage? :p | 22:53 |
| spacebarbarian | (This is in a vm by the way) | 22:53 |
| escott | dataviruset, i don't know if hid is necessary thats for mouse and keyboard | 22:53 |
| accerqueira | hi, i can't boot ubuntu 12.04 with "/var" on lvm... but after boot i can mount that lv just fine... is it a known bug or am i doing something wrong? | 22:53 |
| escott | dataviruset, and make sure you get everything that usb_storage depends on | 22:53 |
| dataviruset | escott: hid is used by usbhid regarding to lsmod | 22:53 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, if you use gufw as a frontend for ufw, and choose deny-policies for inbound/outbound, you're at a good starting point | 22:53 |
| dataviruset | escott: but okay, if only usb_storage would be needed, then hid nor usbhid would be needed | 22:54 |
| escott | dataviruset, i doubt you need the hids | 22:54 |
| dataviruset | escott: ok, i'll try without them :) | 22:54 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer got it thanks | 22:54 |

| beandog | are you building your own kernel? | 22:55 |
| accerqueira | me? kinda... its a linode... | 22:55 |
| dataviruset | escott: update-initramfs -u ? :) | 22:55 |

| beandog | why not use one of their kernels? | 22:56 |
| escott | dataviruset, or -k all i think | 22:56 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, then create rules for the VPN ip you're connecting to, and then add a rule allowing all traffic out on tap0 | 22:56 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer: yeah Im just blocking all traffic that isnt giong through the VPN ip | 22:56 |
| accerqueira | beandog: yeah, i use one of them, but i heard they customize them... | 22:56 |
| dataviruset | escott: okay, `update-initramfs -u -k all` then | 22:57 |
| beandog | accerqueira: well, yah, probably so they run on their hardware and virtualization | 22:57 |

| Riley88 | hey guys i could use some help configuring x.org | 22:57 |
| Riley88 | and adding options | 22:57 |
| escott | dataviruset, did you chroot in? | 22:57 |
| dataviruset | escott: yes :) | 22:57 |
| dataviruset | escott: did the commands here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/32135/stuck-on-grub-command-line | 22:57 |
| escott | dataviruset, then see if it worked. | 22:57 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, should work. That's the config I'm using. | 22:57 |
| accerqueira | beandog: do you have a 12.04 setup that works with lvm mounts on boot? | 22:57 |
| beandog | accerqueira: nope, I don't use lvm | 22:58 |
| beandog | don't like it | 22:58 |
| accerqueira | beandog: why? | 22:58 |
| escott | dataviruset, if you wanted you could copy your initrd and unpack it, loop mount it etc.... to see if it is correct. but i'd just reboot :) | 22:58 |
| beandog | accerqueira: because it's a huge pain for little to no gain | 22:58 |
| accerqueira | beandog: hmm, im kinda noob, but i liked the ability to add disk space online... and wanted to learn about hehe | 22:59 |
| accerqueira | beandog: thanks for the help, will google around some more... | 22:59 |
| beandog | ok | 22:59 |
| beandog | you're going to be in for a world of hurt if you try to build your own kernel | 22:59 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer is netstat a good way to check all traffic though ? just to see what connections are made and if any of them are not from my vpn ? | 22:59 |
| escott | accerqueira, is your kernel loading? | 23:00 |
| beandog | accerqueira: but if you *do*, at least grab /proc/config.gz | 23:00 |
| accerqueira | beandog: nah, i dont think im going to build my own kernel hehe | 23:00 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, sure, you can use netstat -antup to check connections. But keep in mind that connections made before enabling the tap0 interface won't be disconnected, so it may look like it's leaking | 23:02 |
| dataviruset | escott: I get "error: couldn't read file, press any key to continue", and when I do that, the same things again.. cannot open root device UUID... | 23:02 |
| dataviruset | escott: I think I give up :) | 23:02 |
| escott | dataviruset, cannot read file? | 23:03 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer ah interesting | 23:03 |
| drblink | How can i download the source for postfix 2.9.1? If i use "apt-get source postfix" I will get version 2.9.3 | 23:03 |
| spacebarbarian | that reminds me also need to check for dns leaks | 23:03 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, you using openvpn? | 23:03 |
| spacebarbarian | yes | 23:03 |
| spacebarbarian | network manager | 23:04 |
| spacebarbarian | but its running inside a virtualmachine so the interface names are a bit weird | 23:04 |
| folmer | with the block-all-approach, you'll eliminate DNS leaks as well | 23:04 |
| dataviruset | escott: yes, a moment after GRUB has showed up and booted its first option | 23:05 |
| spacebarbarian | oh ok | 23:05 |
| spacebarbarian | I need to make sure it doesnt block my local router cache though (ddwrt) | 23:05 |
| folmer | spacebarbarian, I've only used the openvpn client standalone. Never through network-manager | 23:05 |
| escott | dataviruset, so after the kernel boots. perhaps the kernel cant find the initrd? | 23:05 |
| beandog | folmer: really? NM is pretty nice actually. | 23:06 |
| spacebarbarian | folmer ah yeah i didnt want to mess with commandline stuff :/ | 23:06 |
| beandog | but the cli is deadly simple as well | 23:06 |
| spacebarbarian | I have 4 different VPNs I need to switch between so its a pain | 23:06 |
| dataviruset | escott: and when I press any key to continue, the message appears | 23:06 |
| dataviruset | escott: maybe | 23:06 |
| folmer | beandog, yeah I read it required a plug-in of some sort to get it working with openvpn, so I gave up and just used the cli :) | 23:07 |
| folmer | that's what linux nerds do, right ^ | 23:07 |
| beandog | folmer: oh yah that might be true ... it's in the repo though, I'm sure of that | 23:07 |
| beandog | folmer: exactly. :) plus their docs are really good | 23:07 |
| beandog | network-manager-openvpn | 23:08 |
| folmer | ah yes | 23:08 |
| beandog | oh wait, are we talking client or server? | 23:08 |
| folmer | im talking client | 23:08 |
| beandog | okay, so was I | 23:08 |
| * beandog uses ipfire for server | 23:08 | |
| dataviruset | escott: but I guess the problem would be that it can't communicate with the USB-stick with that UUID | 23:09 |
| beandog | also deadly simple | 23:09 |
| folmer | beandog, I'm not that advanced yet :) SSH is as far as I've come | 23:09 |
| escott | dataviruset, i dont really know whats going on there. or whose message that is or what it means | 23:09 |
| dataviruset | escott: so it can't find the initrd and it can't go further with the kernel | 23:09 |
| beandog | folmer: well that's a good start. using public keys? | 23:09 |
| drblink | How can i download the source for postfix 2.9.1? If i use "apt-get source postfix" I will get version 2.9.3 | 23:09 |
| dataviruset | escott: thanks for your help :) | 23:10 |
| beandog | drblink: just download it from their site | 23:10 |
| drblink | i did but it is different from the ubuntu flavor. | 23:10 |
| folmer | beandog: yup. Oh, and while we're at it, I can't seem to get a reverse port forwarding in Cygwin working | 23:10 |
| escott | dataviruset, i would think if the initramfs was loaded it would drop you to a busybox prompt so something must not be working there. try unetbootin | 23:10 |
| beandog | folmer: reverse port forwarding? you mean cygwin binding and listening to a port? | 23:10 |
| folmer | beandog: nah, cygwin running the sshd | 23:11 |
| beandog | right | 23:11 |
| beandog | that would be listening :) | 23:11 |
| escott | folmer, thats a real pain in the .... you trying to install openssh under cygwin | 23:11 |
| folmer | beandog: yeah, see, I haven't quite wrapped my head aournd it yet :) | 23:11 |
| beandog | cygwin bundles openssh, it's easy | 23:11 |
| beandog | folmer: where'd you get stuck | 23:11 |
| folmer | escott: so far it's been quite a breeze even for a novice just following a howto. | 23:12 |
| folmer | beandog: hmm. I need to bind the listening socket to a specific interface on the cygwin sshd | 23:13 |
| escott | folmer, i had it working for 20 minutes, and then tried to get the permissions setup (because it was installed as an administrator). after it broke i just installed ubuntu in a vm | 23:13 |
| beandog | folmer: oh ... okay, that does sound ugly. | 23:13 |
| beandog | folmer: you mean a specific network card? | 23:13 |
| folmer | beandog: as I understand it, it binds to an interface IP. So no interface aliases involved. But I'm prolly wrong as it's not working | 23:14 |
| beandog | folmer: oh. well by default it'll listen on all IP addresses, all interfaces | 23:14 |
| folmer | beandog: yeah but it doesnt | 23:14 |
| beandog | folmer: what happens when you try to ssh in | 23:15 |
| folmer | beandog: ah... but... My vpn interface comes up AFTER the sshd is started. Would that be a cause? | 23:15 |
| habib | hey. i opened a window to fullscreen mode and don't know how to collapse it and stop the programm which opened this window. can u help me? | 23:15 |
| beandog | folmer: yah, vpn will kill any existing connections | 23:15 |
| escott | habib, F11 | 23:15 |
| habib | thnx | 23:15 |
| folmer | beandog: umm.. I don't think so. Not the openvpn client wrapper I use on windows | 23:16 |
| beandog | hmm | 23:16 |
| beandog | folmer: well, anyway, where are you ssh'ing in from? | 23:16 |
| folmer | beandog: what I was talking about is sshd setting up a listening socket on the newly added interface | 23:16 |
| beandog | folmer: right, restart sshd | 23:16 |
| bugaloo | guys... i have a laptop, and when I'm using it on battery the sound keeps "clicking" (like that sound when the sound board turns on/off)... it doesn't happen when I use battery... still, it happens more when I use the browser or some webpages, I'm not sure what resource on these pages are causing the problem... any leads? | 23:17 |
| folmer | beandog: yeah :) Had that idea just now | 23:17 |
| folmer | beandog: hold on, will check | 23:17 |
| beandog | bugaloo: could be the hdd powering down and back up | 23:17 |
| blackshirt | good morning | 23:17 |
| bugaloo | beandog, I think that's it, but I dont know how to disable this, do you? | 23:17 |
| beandog | bugaloo: eh ... | 23:18 |
| beandog | bugaloo: it's probably either removing or disabling some ACPI modules or settings | 23:18 |
| bugaloo | beandog, I mean... it's configured, clearly, to enable/disable only when running on battery, something about battery economy, I guess | 23:18 |
| beandog | bugaloo: or maybe playing with CPU frequency scaling | 23:18 |
| beandog | bugaloo: I dunno. Could be a couple of places ... BIOS, even. | 23:18 |
| beandog | bugaloo: your best bet is just googling for ubuntu <laptop model> | 23:20 |
| dataviruset | escott: hmm, so I just add the unetbootin loader and everything will be fine? :) | 23:21 |
| Loshki | bugaloo: you could try something like 'sudo hdparm -S 0' (check your local listings for options) to disable spindown | 23:21 |
| bugaloo | beandog, it really doesn't help hehe... I have a very old model, unusual | 23:21 |
| escott | dataviruset, i dont know much about it, but its a different boot process for usb that should work | 23:21 |
| dataviruset | escott: cool :) | 23:21 |
| bugaloo | Loshki, this is something I'll try right now | 23:21 |
| folmer | beandog: I'm on the same LAN as the cygwin sshd server (just testing), so what would I need to write to get the sshd to forward port 56331 to the ssh client? | 23:21 |
| beandog | folmer: other way around | 23:22 |
| smallfoot- | why ubuntu open every app in top-left corner? | 23:22 |
| beandog | folmer: do you want sshd to listen on that port, or have something forward the port | 23:22 |
| beandog | folmer: basically, what port do you want client to use | 23:22 |
| BlouBlou | smallfoot-: cause Unity comes configured by default to open apps in there | 23:22 |
| smallfoot- | but thats annoying | 23:23 |
| smallfoot- | isnt it? | 23:23 |
| BlouBlou | it's fine for me | 23:23 |
| smallfoot- | cuz i have a 24" screen, not a 5" | 23:23 |
| smallfoot- | i multitask | 23:23 |
| folmer | beandog: I want the sshd to listen on and forward port 56331 via ssh to the client | 23:23 |
| BlouBlou | well you can use keyboard shortcuts | 23:23 |
| BlouBlou | smallfoot-: alt + tab still works :P | 23:23 |
| beandog | folmer: yah, sshd is only going to listen, not forward | 23:24 |
| beandog | well, that's not *entirely* true, but as far as just port redirects it is. There's tunneling ssh connections, but I'm not even going to open that one | 23:24 |
| folmer | beandog: why won't it forward? | 23:24 |
| beandog | folmer: you need a router to forward ports | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Unity definatly does not open every app at the top left here by default. | 23:24 |
| beandog | folmer: you have client (source port 22) and server (destination port 22) | 23:24 |
| escott | folmer, thats not its roll | 23:25 |
| beandog | folmer: if you want to connect client on 22 but have sshd listen on port 822, you need something in the middle to send requests to port 22 to 822 | 23:25 |
| blackshirt | that, iptables plays a role | 23:26 |
| folmer | hmm | 23:26 |
| escott | folmer, i think what you want to run is "ssh -R 56331:localhost:#### user@cygwin_server" | 23:26 |
| folmer | escott: I'm pretty sure that's it ye | 23:26 |
| stansmith | HEy guys, is there any voice modifying software for ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| folmer | beandog: it still won't listen on the vpn interface (10.4.x.x) | 23:28 |
| glitsj16 | smallfoot-: unity is tied to compiz .. there's a few options to change defaults through ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager, so you need to install that if you haven't already) .. once you start it by running 'ccsm' you'll find the 'Place windows' settings to choose a placement mode of your choice | 23:29 |
| folmer | beandog: anyway I probably have the wrong idea about it altogether. | 23:29 |
| pi_ | Hi | 23:30 |
| === RedXIII is now known as RedXIII_ | ||
| blackshirt | hi pi_ | 23:30 |
| smallfoot- | glitsj16, which was the placement mode before it got dumb? | 23:32 |
| glitsj16 | smallfoot-: no clue really .. but ccsm offers an icon besides each option to reset that specific one to its defaults so it's easy to check yourself | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | smallfoot-: cascade mode seems to be the default, just checked | 23:34 |
| glitsj16 | smallfoot-: for the finer grained control of window placement there's also a package in the default precise repo called 'devilspie' (and a gui gdevilspie) if you're so inclined, but that's perhaps overkill | 23:37 |
| beandog | folmer: yah I dunno | 23:37 |
| folmer | beandog: cheers for the input though | 23:38 |
| folmer | will have to read up on it some more | 23:38 |
| beandog | folmer: good luck :) | 23:38 |

| DanielHoffman | what is the difference between a minimal install and a server install? | 23:41 |
| beandog | eh | 23:42 |
| Dr_willis | DanielHoffman, minimal only installs what you tell it to i belive.. vs what most people would want for a 'server' | 23:42 |
| beandog | probably some basic packages | 23:42 |
| beandog | minimal is gonna boot, and that's about it | 23:42 |
| DanielHoffman | ok | 23:42 |
| beandog | strictly speaking of course, "minimal" and "server" is really just a group of packages | 23:42 |
| beandog | (as is all of the releases) | 23:43 |

| Dr_willis | I think i rember those names right.. | 23:44 |
| beandog | Benxyzzy: use base64 :) | 23:44 |
| Dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding | 23:45 |
| beandog | Dr_willis: is that what they do? never looked at those before | 23:45 |
| Benxyzzy | Dr_willis: nothing shows in apropos for those. I'll look at base64 | 23:45 |
| beandog | oh cool! | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | beandog, used YEARS ago on bbs's and newsgroups.. binary to a ascii encodeing that you can then convert back.. to keep from the bianry data from getting currupted | 23:45 |
| beandog | right | 23:46 |
| beandog | that's way cool | 23:46 |
| beandog | I wonder which package has it | 23:46 |
| beandog | sharutils | 23:46 |
