[00:00] <Baralabite_> Would anyone have a clue why my 3g modem effects all my other network connections in Ubuntu 12.04?
[00:00] <dcullen> Antonis, Helping people with Linux is really fun. Helping people is its own reward.
[00:00] <Baralabite_> Maybe you could help me then dcullen :) -hopeful smile-
[00:00] <dcullen> Baralabite_, what's the net mask on the interface?
[00:01] <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] <dcullen> Baralabite_, run "sudo ifconfig -a" and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[00:01] <Antonis> you can see info with ifconfig
[00:01] <Moogs> Jordan_U: i figured it out, installing fedora! :)
[00:02] <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] <Baralabite_> Okay, dcullen, I'll be right back, I'm currentlyu running the internet via a windows machine, just switching computers...
[00:03] <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'
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <Moogs> I just got an error during the installation of the bootloader:  There was an error installing the bootloader.  The system may not be bootable??
[00:07] <dcullen> Dr_Willis, Antonis, XChat Azure has a setting for it, yay!
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> dcullen:  never heard of 'xchat azure'
[00:07] <Antonis> me neither :\
[00:07] <mikecraft> rebranded xchat aqua, mac app store
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> I perfer weechat... ;) it has smart filters
[00:08] <dia> OLLEGATOR
[00:08] <dcullen> Dr_Willis, XChat Azure is the OS X version of xchat
[00:08] <escott> Moogs, see if it boots. if it doesn't boot to the livecd and we can help you debug it
[00:08] <dcullen> Dr_Willis, I'm using a MacBook Air as a thin client for my Linux Mint Maya server
[00:09]  * dcullen puts on flameproof gear
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> No idea what a 'Maya Server' is either..
[00:09] <dcullen> Man, I thought that would bring on tons of jokes
[00:10] <L3top> dcullen pm? is off topic
[00:10] <dcullen> Linux Mint Maya is the latest Linux Mint which is a derivative of Ubuntu
[00:10] <Baralabite> Okay! I'm back!
[00:10] <Baralabite> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101076/
[00:10] <dennis_> hi
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> dcullen:  so you should be in the mint support channels im guessing..
[00:11] <Antonis> so mint is the grandchild of debian.. :p
[00:11] <Antonis> since debian -> ubuntu -> mint
[00:11] <L3top> !mint
[00:11] <NastyNaz> I originally installed dropbox from the tarball but cant find it anymore to run it. How do I search for it?
[00:11] <dcullen> Baralabite, can you add the output of route -n? Also, the contents of /etc/resolve.conf? It looks like your 3G connection is overriding your wireless settings.
[00:11] <L3top> NastyNaz: try locate
[00:12] <dcullen> Dr_Willis, from the command line, Linux Mint looks Ed Zachary like Ubuntu
[00:12] <L3top> NastyNaz: unless you mean the tarball
[00:12] <Baralabite> Errrmmmmm
[00:12] <Dr_Willis> dcullen:  'looks' can be decieveing..
[00:12] <Baralabite> Could you please provide a shell command...
[00:12] <NastyNaz> L3top: I mean the application. What would the extension be?
[00:12] <dcullen> Dr_Willis, o.O
[00:12] <MASTERPIECE> hei
[00:12] <MASTERPIECE> I  have one problem
[00:12] <MASTERPIECE> with ubuntu
[00:12] <L3top> NastyNaz: try locate dropbox

[00:12] <Antonis> MASTERPIECE, consider yourself lucky.. I have plenty :\
[00:13] <Baralabite> Okay, dcullen, so, what did you want me to do? A console command
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  ask the actual question?
[00:13] <Baralabite> I also made a second paste just to be certain

[00:13] <NastyNaz> L3top: thanks
[00:13] <dcullen> Baralabite, Yes, please, we need the output of "route -n" and the contents of "/etc/resolve.conf"
[00:14] <Baralabite> Okay, so, command is route -n and the pate of /etc/reslove.conf?
[00:14] <dcullen> Baralabite, but it looks like your default route is through your 3G connection, which is probably not what you want?
[00:14] <MASTERPIECE> write me a personal
[00:14] <MASTERPIECE> please
[00:14] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  ask the actual support question TO the channel..
[00:14] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: what language do you speak natively?

[00:15] <daslinkard> Question for you....I have two pc's....one computer is able to print out coupons....the other one only prints out a black image....any guesses?
[00:15] <dcullen> Baralabite, if it helps, you can run "route -n > file.txt && cat /etc/resolve.conf >> file.txt" and paste the contents of that file
[00:15] <MASTERPIECE> write me a personal

[00:16] <Baralabite> that was meant to be a pastebi
[00:16] <Moogs> escott: i am on it right nwo using fedora...
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> NastyNaz:  look In the directory and see if theres any executables.. or just reinstall dropbox from the deb/ppas
[00:16] <Baralabite> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101089/
[00:16] <Baralabite> (Route -n paste)
[00:16] <Moogs> escott: do you mean windows live cd?
[00:16] <escott> Moogs, download and run this http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/files/latest/download
[00:16] <Moogs> escott: or the fedora boot up
[00:16] <MASTERPIECE> but i have problem with my   video card
[00:16] <MASTERPIECE> driver
[00:16] <NastyNaz> Dr_Willis: how can I tell if something is an executable?
[00:16] <MASTERPIECE> :(((
[00:16] <dcullen> Baralabite, oof, yes, your default route is through the ppp0 (3G) interface, and you don't even have a route through the wlan0 (WiFi) interface
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> NastyNaz:  the executable bit is set. :) see ls -l  output.
[00:17] <Baralabite> I turned it off...
[00:17] <Baralabite> If I turn it on the 3g doesn't work
[00:17] <NastyNaz> Dr_Willis: thanks
[00:17] <Moogs> escott: it gave me an error, i cannot download
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  so tell the channel what your video card is. what the problem is. and what you have done with it so far.
[00:17] <MASTERPIECE> one moment
[00:17] <MASTERPIECE> :)
[00:17] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: I will try to help you if you promise to stop hitting enter every 1-5 words.
[00:17] <Moogs> escott: okay it is downloaded
[00:17] <Moogs> escott: now what?
[00:17] <dcullen> Baralabite, yes, you probably only want to use one or the other
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  stop with the useless smiles and frowns..
[00:18] <L3top> !bg | MASTERPIECE
[00:18] <dcullen> Baralabite, did you want to bridge the 3G connection or something?
[00:18] <escott> Moogs, you need to run it. so open a terminal type "cd ~/Downloads" and then "ls" what does it say?
[00:18] <Baralabite> -testing connecting-
[00:18] <Baralabite> Can you still hear me?
[00:18] <Baralabite> Okay, in short, I want to be able to run my 3g as well as ethernet (I don;t care about wirless)
[00:18] <dcullen> Baralabite, this is a radio check, you are 5 by 5
[00:18] <Baralabite> Check!
[00:19] <MASTERPIECE> I have a geforce gt 520 1gb a recognized some kind of
[00:19] <Baralabite> I went offline because I tested the wifi - which disconnected me
[00:19] <NastyNaz> What's the command to search for a running process called 'foobar'? I tried 'ps x' but the list is too long
[00:19] <Guest40284>  is bind9 or dnsmasq my only  dns based software to uses or are there other major ones out there different from bind being used for linux based dns server systems
[00:19] <dcullen> Baralabite, your Ethernet should be able to coexist with your 3G. However, you may have to do something special to get everything working
[00:19] <MASTERPIECE> I have a geforce gt 520 1gb a recognized some kind of
[00:19] <Moogs> escott: hold on
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> NastyNaz:  ps ax | grep foobar
[00:19] <Baralabite> Okey!
[00:19] <NastyNaz> Dr_Willis: thanks

[00:19] <Baralabite> Do you want me to plugin in the cable? Or not yet?
[00:19] <dcullen> NastyNaz, pgrep -l -f foobar
[00:20] <MASTERPIECE> write me a personal please
[00:20] <MASTERPIECE> to see this problem
[00:20] <Moogs> escott: it is just waiting
[00:20] <dcullen> Baralabite, You can plug in the cable. However, you may want to disable DHCP in your Ethernet settings
[00:20] <Baralabite> Okay
[00:20] <Moogs> escott: i did cd ~/Downloads and then ls and it is waiting for a command i guess
[00:20] <Baralabite> I can do that ;)
[00:20] <escott> Moogs, are you pressing enter after the commands
[00:20] <Moogs> escott: yes
[00:20] <Moogs> escott: it was 2 commands right?
[00:20] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: STOP HITTING ENTER. In a terminal, please type lspci -nn | grep VGA   and paste the output here... and try to give an explanation of your problem ON ONE LINE. Nobody is going to pm you.
[00:20] <Baralabite> If I go offline, you'll know why
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  you havent really stated what the problem is. You did install the nvidia drivers for that card? Using the 'Addational-Drivers' tool?
[00:21] <Moogs> escott: it got me into the downloads one
[00:21] <dcullen> Baralabite, we may want to setup a static IP on your Ethernet side or something. I don't have enough information yet.
[00:21] <escott> Moogs, yes. do you know what folder it downloaded to?
[00:21] <Baralabite> I have set up a static IP
[00:21] <Moogs> escott: not exactly sure
[00:21] <Baralabite> 192.168.1.2
[00:21] <Baralabite> I keep everything to static to stop my wires getting crossed on the network
[00:21] <escott> Moogs, can you open the downloads dialog in firefox and find out
[00:21] <MASTERPIECE> i   dont install driver
[00:21] <dcullen> Baralabite, great! a static IP eliminates a lot of unknowns
[00:21] <MASTERPIECE> bicouse  dont know how
[00:21] <MASTERPIECE> :D
[00:22] <dcullen> jeepers, i forget how to ignore a nick
[00:22] <Moogs> escott: it is in a folder named temp
[00:22] <Baralabite> I know - It's terrible when IPs change with my proxy set up the way it is
[00:22] <escott> Moogs, then "ls /tmp" and see if it is listed there
[00:22] <Moogs> escott: correction: tmp
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> MASTERPIECE:  perhaps you should..  In the menus its Addational Drivers, (in english) or just run 'gksudo jockey-gtk'  good luck..
[00:22] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: You refuse to follow instruction. I'm out.
[00:22] <Baralabite> -plugging in ethernet-
[00:22]  * Dr_Willis agrees with L3top
[00:23] <Moogs> escott: yes i do
[00:23] <dcullen> People should not drink and IRC
[00:23] <Moogs> escott: it is red, named bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz
[00:23] <dcullen> …unless they are pros
[00:23] <escott> Moogs, then cd /tmp.. and then "tar xzvf boot[TAB]"
[00:23] <dcullen> Baralabite, you still seem to be connected
[00:23] <Baralabite> radio test...
[00:23] <Baralabite> ping...
[00:23] <Baralabite> I plugged in ethernet, it messed everything up again, internet stopped working
[00:24] <Moogs> escott: then it came into bootinfoscript, changelog or readme
[00:24] <Baralabite> I wasn't
[00:24] <NastyNaz> every time I start the dropbox daemon it hogs the active terminal. How can I get it to run 'in the background' without using screen?
[00:24] <Baralabite> (I have unplugged the ethernet again)
[00:24] <dcullen> Baralabite, can you plug in Ethernet, capture the output of "route -n" and the contents of "/etc/resolve.conf" and put them in the paste?
[00:24] <escott> Moogs, "ls" again and see if there is a file boot*****.sh
[00:24] <Baralabite> Okay! Will do!
[00:24] <Baralabite> -going offline again-
[00:24] <dcullen> Baralabite, I know that means you'll be temporarily disconnected
[00:24] <Moogs> escott: there is a file in green labeled bootinfoscript
[00:25] <escott> Moogs, thats it. "./bootinfoscript" to run it
[00:25] <Moogs> so i need to do sudo first right
[00:25] <escott> Moogs, wouldn't hurt
[00:26] <laserlion> !nomodeset
[00:26] <Moogs> escott: thsi is with fedora
[00:26] <Moogs> escott: will this matter?
[00:26] <escott> Moogs, that fine. just trying to figure things out about your system
[00:26] <Moogs> says liveuser is not in the suoers file
[00:27] <escott> Moogs, thats something with the fedora livecd. i don't know how you would work around it.
[00:27] <Baralabite> -testing testing, 1, 2,, 3-
[00:27] <dcullen> Baralabite, you are 5 by 5
[00:27] <Moogs> escott: omg!
[00:28] <Baralabite> testing
[00:28] <daslinkard> I have 2 computers networked to 1 printer....1 computer is able to print coupons correctly....the other PC prints the coupon in a black box and is not readable
[00:28] <Moogs> escott: no ideas? :(
[00:29] <Baralabite> Back
[00:29] <Baralabite> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101102/
[00:29] <Baralabite> /etc/resolve.conf was empty
[00:29] <Guest40284> does anybody know if there is any alternatives to bind for unix / linux based systems
[00:30] <dcullen> Baralabite, OK, like I suspected, you are setting your Ethernet as your gateway when it is enabled
[00:30] <opakavic> Graphics is so heavy in 12.04
[00:30] <Baralabite> Sounds logical... :3
[00:31] <Baralabite> How to change?
[00:31] <dcullen> Baralabite, are you using NetworkManager to control your settings (The little icon in the top task bar)?
[00:31] <Baralabite> Yup
[00:31] <escott> Moogs, try su -
[00:32] <Moogs> escott: says ./bootinfoscript: command not found
[00:32] <dcullen> Baralabite, ok, lemme get a look at that applet for a minute
[00:32] <escott> Moogs, you probably need to cd /tmp again
[00:32] <Baralabite> ok
[00:32] <Guest40284> is there any nonBind9 alternative for dns server software in linux or is all of dns bind9
[00:33] <Guest40284> looks to me it is
[00:33] <Moogs> escott: what is the command again
[00:33] <Moogs> escott: can we pm each other
[00:33] <Guest40284> that or dnsmasq
[00:33] <xorfish> Not to intrude on the problem at hand, but can anyone give me some aid installing onto a clean G5 (2061)?
[00:33] <Pumpkin-> Guest40284: unbound for recursive, nsd for authorative
[00:33] <Pumpkin-> are worth checking out
[00:33] <escott> Guest40284, http://serverfault.com/questions/289331/full-featured-alternative-to-bind9
[00:34] <Baralabite> dcullen, I'm not sure if this is of interest: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480525
[00:34] <maurizi0> Hi! How do I remove/delete empty groups in Empathy for a Google-talk account?
[00:36] <xorfish> Looking to know which version is compatible, and which method to use.
[00:36] <maurizi0> In empathy, MSn and Facebook seem to be synchronized with the main server. So I can remove empty folders from the website itself. But with google Its seems not synchronized at all.
[00:38] <Guest40284> ok ya , I guess  dns software is sort of like ftp or mail or any other server software there is alot of options but bind9 is one of the ones that are popular and stand out. How popular I don't know I am assuming it is the most robost for business or large networks / WANs . But not sure... ANyway the major point is the configuration files relatively the same do they have the same features , and names for stuff ....etc as bind does
[00:39] <xorfish> @mazurizi0 Do you need to be logged through google to update that?
[00:39] <dcullen> Baralabite, sorry, I had some problems with my .Xauthority file. Almost there.
[00:39] <Baralabite> Don't appoligisse! Your helping me!
[00:40] <dcullen> Baralabite, OK, I think you should be able to delete your Gateway in your "Wired connection 1" (if that is the name)
[00:40] <Baralabite> So, delete wired connection? Okay!
[00:41] <dcullen> Baralabite, NO DON'T
[00:41] <Baralabite> Okay!
[00:41] <dcullen> Baralabite, just enter 0.0.0.0 for the Gateway in your IPV4 settings
[00:41] <Baralabite> I saw the x-chat icon flicker just as my mouse was hovering over the delete button....
[00:41] <Baralabite> Okay
[00:41] <Baralabite> For the wired connection?
[00:41] <dcullen> Baralabite, or if it will let you, erase the entry in Gateway in IPV4
[00:41] <L3top> I have an odd problem myself. I installed gnash because flash was borked, 1204, I purged both the flashplugin-installer and gnash... and when I install the flashplugin-installer, it downloads, it seems to run the dummy package with no issue... but does not install flash. http://pastebin.com/5XDgXpzC I only want to install flash to test throttling the processes grip on cpu... but still I have done everything I can think of... and... 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] <dcullen> Baralabite, for the Wired connection
[00:41] <Praxi> thats a scary conversation to walk into the middle of dcullen :)

[00:43] <Baralabite> Yes
[00:43] <xorfish> I had asked moments ago...
[00:43] <xorfish> Trying to install 12.04 on a clean PPC
[00:43] <dcullen> Baralabite, now might be a good time to make the IP static
[00:43] <daslinkard> Can anyone please help me?
[00:43] <Baralabite> What do I set the gateway to?
[00:44] <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] <dcullen> Baralabite, sounds fine
[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] <xorfish> L3Top, yeah I tried that out without luck. Will try again I suppose.
[00:45] <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> Just an expression ;) After all, you are older than me
[00:46] <Baralabite> -may go offline-
[00:46] <dcullen> Jeepers, how can you tell age on the internet? Aren't all of us Linux users 13-year-olds in our parents' basements?
[00:46] <Baralabite> Well, I am pretty much a 14 year  old playing around...
[00:47] <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] <dcullen> L3top, I don't PM. If it's worth asking, it's worth sharing
[00:47] <anax> Hey, guys. I cannot suspend my computer. Happens both on Ubuntu and Xubuntu. The screen goes blank, but then it just hangs, and my fan starts getting really loud.
[00:47] <dcullen> Baralabite, I think we fixed your problem
[00:48] <L3top> dcullen: Not allowed in channel. Concerning your mint/pxe drones. Not a worry.
[00:48] <Baralabite> Indeed! Thanks! Just as a note, I am really 14, and I would be in the basement... if we had it
[00:48] <dcullen> L3top, OK, PM me
[00:49] <dcullen> Baralabite, well, i'm 41, on the couch, while the kids watch Scooby Doo
[00:49] <Baralabite> That's what I figured - That's why I called you Sir!
[00:49] <dcullen> L3top, jeepers, I forget how to PM
[00:49] <Baralabite> Well anyway, thanks again, and I'll see you around!
[00:50] <dcullen> adios, Baralabite
[00:50] <Praxi> and that explains the jeepers lol
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <bazhang> ResQue, full reinstall
[00:51] <dcullen> Baralabite, the only thing we need out of people seeking help is patience
[00:52] <escott> ResQue, you can install the kernel, but you cannot change the libc without a reinstall
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <ResQue> escott: thanks, by libc are you talking about the standard c libs?
[00:54] <bazhang> Moogs, try #fedora
[00:54] <escott> ResQue, im talking about the entire userspace
[00:54] <Moogs> sorry im on webchat.freenode
[00:54] <Moogs> and it keeps going to this channel
[00:54] <Markus__> .
[00:54] <[flux]> lol
[00:55] <Markus__> hellllo
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <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?
[01:00] <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
[01:02] <compdoc> mrich_, did you activate an additional driver for the vid card?
[01:02] <mrich_> compdoc: yes
[01:02] <peugi> is there a way to get wiggly windows on 12.04?
[01:02] <escott> !ccsm | peugi
[01:02] <mrich_> compdoc: twas a nvidia driver
[01:03] <compdoc> mrich_, sounds like the driver is having issues
[01:03]  * peugi does the happy dance
[01:03] <mrich_> compdoc: In the Additional Drivers section I've tried using both of the 2 Nvidia drivers available.  They both do the same thing.
[01:03] <escott> peugi, tread careful. you can break unity easily messing around in there
[01:04] <compdoc> mrich_, try going back to the original driver that Ubuntu used when you installed
[01:04] <mrich_> compdoc: It still happens with that
[01:05] <peugi> I see, I'm going to wait for wayland :)
[01:05] <MASTERPIECE> how   to install pes 2012 in ubuntu
[01:05] <MASTERPIECE> ?
[01:05] <compdoc> mrich_, which video card is it?
[01:05] <escott> peugi, thats a couple years out
[01:05] <mrich_> compdoc: In Gnome the text artifacts actually scroll up and down.  In Unity the text artifacts are refreshed/cleared when the page is scrolled. Go figure
[01:05] <xangua> !appdb | MASTERPIECE
[01:05] <peugi> I might mess around, but it sounds sketchy
[01:06] <compdoc> mrich_, sounds like youve made a lot of modifications
[01:06] <MASTERPIECE> ubottu,    do you can to make
[01:06] <escott> peugi, you can do it. but if unity starts crashing and you have to ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty and rm -rf ~/.compiz or unity --reset then you are back to square one
[01:06] <MASTERPIECE> ubottu,   okay but enter in my computer and make
[01:06] <MASTERPIECE> :D:D:D
[01:07] <MASTERPIECE> pfuuuu
[01:07] <mrich_> compdoc: No I've made none, except install the latest Gnome 3, but the glitches happened before that
[01:07] <peugi> thanks for the info
[01:07] <MASTERPIECE> ehooo
[01:07] <MASTERPIECE> how to install pes 2012 in ubuntu
[01:07] <MASTERPIECE> how to ckracked
[01:08] <compdoc> mrich_, do you use nomodeset in grub?
[01:08] <MASTERPIECE> this game
[01:08] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org   <---- MASTERPIECE check there first
[01:08] <MASTERPIECE> i have
[01:08] <bazhang> MASTERPIECE, stop asking about cracked games
[01:08] <mrich_> compdoc: I don't know, whatever the default is.   Should I?
[01:08] <MASTERPIECE> wine
[01:08] <MASTERPIECE> bazhang,    come    in me computers with
[01:08] <MASTERPIECE> team
[01:09] <mrich_> compdoc: the glitch doesn't always happen, only about once or twice an hour while editing in vim.
[01:09] <escott> MASTERPIECE, STOP
[01:09] <MASTERPIECE> and  make this  game
[01:09] <MASTERPIECE> what :D:D:D:D
[01:09] <bazhang> MASTERPIECE, no. check that website. dont ask about cracked/pirated games.
[01:09] <compdoc> mrich_, no, if you didnt add it to grub, I dont think it will fix this
[01:10] <compdoc> mrich_, vim is vi?
[01:10] <compdoc> why do you use that?
[01:10] <thothstriangle> Hello everybody!
[01:10] <compdoc> ever try nano?
[01:11] <mrich_> compdoc: vim is an iMproved vi
[01:11] <compdoc> vi needed a lot of improving
[01:11] <compdoc> so this only happens in vim?
[01:12] <escott> mrich_, does it disappear if you drag another window over top of it
[01:12] <mrich_> escott: I'm not sure, i dont think so though
[01:13] <mrich_> escott: no it doesnt
[01:13] <escott> mrich_, is it visible in screenshots?
[01:13] <escott> mrich_, and are you using a compositor or is it a 2d desktop?
[01:13] <mrich_> escott: I don't know, i'll try taking one next time it happens.  What would that tell me?
[01:14] <mrich_> escott: I'm using Gnome 3, but similar effects hapenned with Unity
[01:15] <escott> mrich_, so you are using a compositor then. this sounds like an xdamage issue, and with a compositor there is no damage since its all drawn offscreen
[01:15] <thothstriangle> I am useing ubuntu oneiric and I have a adobe flash reocurring crash like every hour. Does anybody got any idea why?
[01:15] <dcullen> thothstriangle, What does /var/log/dmesg say?
[01:16] <mrich_> escott: is there anything I can do?
[01:16] <dcullen> thothstriangle, and /var/log/syslog
[01:17] <thothstriangle> dcullen:  I am not shure what you mean? It seems you are talking about a linux file on my system?
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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] <escott> dcullen, i would be surprised if a user application like flash would put anything in /var/log
[01:20] <bigot1> hello
[01:20] <bigot1> I have a question
[01:20] <dcullen> escott, I wouldn't
[01:20] <bigot1> How do I add a theme in ubuntu 12.04
[01:20] <entricular> flash videos usually go in /proc
[01:21] <L3top> thothstriangle: try in terminal:  less /var/log/dmesg           q to quit up and down arrow to scroll
[01:21] <bigot1> How do I add a theme in ubuntu 12.04
[01:21] <dcullen> escott, A lot of applications log to syslog
[01:21] <bazhang> !themes > bigot1
[01:22] <dcullen> shouldn't that be a banned nick?
[01:22] <L3top> thothstriangle: or syslog... be forewarned these are large files.. You might try moving them to a backup first, and trying to recreate the crash so there is less to go through.
[01:22] <bigot1> but there are only two themes there
[01:22] <bigot1> how do I add more
[01:23] <lInsaneII> But it is an accepted plank of the "family" platform that it's an opportunity for young black men to shoulder responsibility and become the real decision-makers and power brokers in a multibillion-dollar business built on their backs. In a world where the big decisions have so often been the province of older white men, and where players have often felt exploited, the new model is thrilling
[01:23] <lInsaneII> and precious for those who get to experience it.
[01:23] <lInsaneII> ubuntu and its evil african tribal roots STRIKES Q!
[01:23] <xangua> !info myunity
[01:23] <xangua> bigot1: if you already added themes, you can change the gtk and icon themes with myunity
[01:23] <bigot1> my unity won't open
[01:23] <bigot1> I installed it and it won't open
[01:24] <bigot1> it is in system settings but when I click on it nothing happens
[01:24] <escott> dcullen, but mostly system applications look at: cat /var/log/syslog | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/\[.*//' | sort -u
[01:24] <playman> can any one tell me where I can find a guide on how to install samba with wget? or how to change my mirrors?
[01:24] <dcullen> escott, yeah, there's not much in my syslog because I don't have a lot running now
[01:25] <escott> dcullen, its a system log not a "john was playing tetris at 5:30 log"
[01:25] <bigot1> I haven't added themes already
[01:25] <bigot1> how do I add?
[01:25] <dcullen> escott, thanks for clarifying that, l o l
[01:26] <dcullen> escott, I'm just trying to find a thread to help me start untangling what will probably be a pretty knotty problem
[01:26]  * 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
[01:27] <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"
[01:28] <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] <escott> mrich_, you can install unity-2d or gnome-panel and select that at the login prompt
[01:29] <dcullen> bigot1, what means "my unity won't open"?
[01:30] <dcullen> bigot1, what are you clicking on?
[01:30] <dcullen> Does anyone else understand what bigot1 is asking?
[01:31] <dcullen> OK, i guess i'm not the only one confused
[01:31] <bigot1> it means it won;t start
[01:31] <bigot1> when I click the icon
[01:31] <escott> bigot1, what icon where? what does it look like?
[01:32] <bigot1> it says my unity
[01:32] <dcullen> bigot1, can you provide a screen shot or something? Where is this icon? what escott said!
[01:32] <dcullen> "My Unity"?
[01:32] <bigot1> it is in system settings
[01:32] <bigot1> but anyways how do I add a theme
[01:32] <L3top> bigot1 have you typed myunity in terminal? Does it return any errors that might be relevant?
[01:32] <bigot1> there are only two installed
[01:32] <pawan> hi
[01:32] <pawan> wired network
[01:32] <bigot1> not in terminal
[01:33] <pawan> no valid active connections found
[01:33] <bigot1> how do I install a theme anyone?
[01:34] <L3top> bigot1: the standard way, is with myunity... which is why we are asking what we are asking.
[01:34] <bigot1> maybe I have to restart
[01:35] <bigot1> and see if it opens then
[01:35] <dcullen> Did we lose pawan?
[01:35] <Guest40284> does anybody know what the difference between the host.conf , resolv.conf , dnsmasq.conf , host.deny , host.allow hostname files are for
[01:36] <L3top> bigot1: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/how-to-easily-skin-ubuntus-unity-desktop/ this might provide an alternative...
[01:36] <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?
[01:37] <dcullen> Guest40284, hostname and hosts need to be in sync or you can have problems resolving your own hostname
[01:37] <Guest40284> but what is host allow , host deny files why have them if you can disallow a host thru a firewall ?
[01:37] <L3top> thothstriangle: Graphical User Interface
[01:37] <bigot1> that is exactly what I have installed
[01:37] <L3top> graphic?
[01:37] <bigot1> nothing different
[01:37] <dcullen> Guest40284, (please change your nick) hosts.allow and hosts.deny are for things like NFS
[01:37] <thothstriangle> L3top: How is that different from a terminal?
[01:38] <L3top> bigot1: clearly your issue lies in that which you do not want to address... your inability to run myunity.
[01:38] <bigot1> my inability?
[01:38] <dcullen> thothstriangle, simply stated, a GUI might have a button where a terminal would require you to type something
[01:38] <L3top> thothstriangle: terminal is text only... GUI has pretty things.
[01:38] <bigot1> it just won't start
[01:38] <bigot1> I did nothing to it
[01:38] <dcullen> bigot1, what is the output of "free"
[01:38] <Toph2> when I'm running Transmission on my Ubuntu box, none of the other computers behind my router can upload, What causes this?
[01:38] <bigot1> what do you mean
[01:38] <Guest40284> then what is dnsmasq.conf for if you have bind9 or dns software already for ?
[01:39] <dcullen> bigot1, i.e., do you have enough free RAM to start Unity with compiz and all that?
[01:39] <L3top> bigot1: I ask again... have you tried to launch it from terminal? Are there any errors there that might point to why?
[01:39] <Joelixny> Hello, I have ubuntu on a laptop with Optimus technology. I want to use the Nvidia GPU but I have 2 problems. Outside of x server I get low resolution, ttys, grub, etc. (Small problem) and booting usually gets stuck, this doesn't happen when I use the IGPU or optimus (Most important problem). Does anyone here know why that happens, and can help me?
[01:39] <bigot1> how do I start it from terminal
[01:39] <L3top> Guest40284: masq= masquerade
[01:39] <bigot1> I have 3gb ram
[01:39] <Guest40284> cann't you do everything dnsmasq.conf does but thru bind configurations / files instead
[01:39] <L3top> type, myunity       is my guess. I am not on unity.
[01:40] <bigot1> it started
[01:40] <bigot1> :)
[01:40] <L3top> Guest40284: there are typically several ways to skin a cat based on prerequisites in linux.
[01:40] <escott> !away > kracker|away
[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?
[01:41] <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.
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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 ?
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <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 .....
[01:47] <bigot1> is there any anti-virus software besides ClamTK?
[01:47] <escott> !antivirus | bigot1
[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
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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] <dcullen> xangua, and I can't remember the last time I was in a channel where Guest nicks were allowed for more than a few minutes
[01:51] <L3top> Joelixny: windows has nothing to do with this discussion.
[01:51] <Joelixny> L3top~ Well, the rest of my comment still stands, that was just to aid in demonstrating my point.
[01:52] <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?
[01:53] <L3top> !poll
[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?
[01:54] <Joelixny> L3top~ Okay, thanks. I guess I'm out of luck.
[01:54] <L3top> !details | Guest40284
[01:55] <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.
[01:56] <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] <dcullen> L3top, has he tried the "nv" driver?
[01:56] <mgodzilla> hello.  i have a dell xps inspiron laptop w/ a broadcom bcm94309
[01:57] <mgodzilla> for the life of me i cannot get the wifi adapter online - firmware missin'.  pls. help.
[01:57] <L3top> dcullen: I am pretty sure nv is gone. nouveau or proprietary nvidia are all that remain
[01:57] <dcullen> oh, dear
[01:57] <L3top> !bcm4xxx | mgodzilla
[01:58] <L3top> oops
[01:58] <kracker[BDC]> escott: ok, I changed it back to one nick
[01:58] <L3top> !bcm43xx | mgodzilla
[01:58] <Joelixny> L3top~ You work on Bumblebee project, right? What effects does disabling the IGPU in the bios have if not turning the IGPU?
[01:58] <escott> kracker[BDC], thanks
[01:58] <mgodzilla> thank you!
[01:58] <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.
[01:59] <L3top> Joelixny: You have the ability to change the IGPU in bios?
[01:59] <diffract|> muqman: yes it is
[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".
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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] <L3top> actually Joelixny... for the now I just need lspci -nn | grep VGA
[02:03] <Joelixny> L3top~ 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [Quadro 2000M] [10de:0dda] (rev a1)
[02:03] <L3top> actually Joelixny... for the now I just need lspci -nn | grep VGA | wc -l      if you were stingy...
[02:03] <L3top> only one line Joelixny?
[02:03] <Joelixny> yes
[02:04] <muqman> ok, i'll give it a shot
[02:04] <L3top> That is a horse of an entirely different color.
[02:04] <L3top> Joelixny: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | grep -i kernel
[02:05] <Joelixny> L3top~ 	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
[02:05] <L3top> that is not all it says...
[02:05] <L3top> is nvidiafb and nouveau there?
[02:05] <muqman> hey guys
[02:06] <L3top> and it should say nvidia-current I would think
[02:06] <muqman> for the server, I made a 50 gb partition
[02:06] <muqman> so do I just select logical 52.4 gb?
[02:06] <muqman> (I selected manual for partition)
[02:06] <Joelixny> L3top~ Nope, that's all it says. I have the propietary drivers installed from the site.
[02:07] <L3top> Joelixny: ah. I wouldnt do that. Complicates matters. What version driver are you running?
[02:07] <diffract|> if you are sure that the 52.4gb refers to the target partition
[02:08] <Joelixny> L3top~ 295.49
[02:08] <L3top> Joelixny: from what site then?
[02:08] <L3top> because that is nvidia-current-updates I believe
[02:08] <Joelixny> L3top~ The official NVidia site
[02:08] <Joelixny> I used the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.49.run
[02:08] <L3top> Joelixny: they should be at 302.xx
[02:09] <Jordan__> My laptop server thing seems to have powered off for no discernable reason. What logs can I check to see why?
[02:09] <bigot1> do I need firewall app for ubuntu
[02:09] <bigot1> ?
[02:09] <L3top> oh... 64bit too.... darn Joelixny. I want to make this work now. You are killing me.
[02:09] <Joelixny> L3top~ Is 64 bits a problem? Sorry
[02:10] <L3top> Joelixny: for the record almost NONE of the optimus chipsets have bios control. That is the real stinker about them. What is this laptop out of curiosity?
[02:10] <Jordan__> Anybody know where ubuntu would keep logs relating to errors or shutting down?
[02:10] <Joelixny> L3top~ ThinkPad W520
[02:11]  * L3top hearts lenovo
[02:11] <muqman> I need some help here
[02:11] <Joelixny> L3top~ So, with that will progress be possible?
[02:11] <L3top> Joelixny: give me a few minutes... we can make this work... and if you are willing to sacrifice your battery and only run nvidia, we dont need bumblebee
[02:11] <muqman> I am not sure how to install ubuntu server on a separate partition
[02:11] <jt> how do i get and share files
[02:11] <muqman> I have reached the step in which it says partition
[02:12] <Joelixny> L3top~ That's actually what I've wanted all along, thanks!
[02:12] <jt> anyone?
[02:12] <muqman> and I want to keep windows
[02:12] <muqman> can someone tell me how to use a partition I made from windows and use it as the ubuntu partition?
[02:12] <muqman> please help me out?
[02:13] <muqman> heelo?
[02:13] <muqman> anyone there to help me
[02:13] <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?
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <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?
[02:16] <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] <Guest40284> on windows is the computer name the equivalent to the hostname on linux
[02:16] <escott> muqman, you will need to resize the windows partition
[02:16] <muqman> ok
[02:16] <muqman> I have 50 gb of free space
[02:16] <muqman> not ntfs or anything
[02:16] <L3top> Joelixny: Do you have an X window up btw? If so please pastebin the output of xrandr -q
[02:16] <Guest40284> if so why can the computer name only be one name where as the hostname have multiple names for it?
[02:16] <muqman> in the ubuntu server installer
[02:17] <Joelixny> L3top~ Yes, wait a minute.
[02:17] <muqman> shall I select create a new partition?
[02:17] <L3top> Joelixny: Time I have. I hope you do too.
[02:17] <muqman> escott?
[02:17] <RIsmos> muqman, so i understand you're wanting to dual boot windows and ubuntu server while keeping existing files from the windows installation, disk is already partitioned separately? i may be confused
[02:18] <muqman> hang on a sec
[02:18] <Joelixny> L3top~ http://pastebin.com/mbQAeUWx
[02:18] <RIsmos> please correct me if i'm wrong muqman
[02:18] <muqman> wait
[02:18] <muqman> brb
[02:18] <RIsmos> kk
[02:18] <L3top> Also Joelixny, if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf I would like to see that too in pastebin.
[02:20] <Joelixny> L3top~ I have a few, one for Nvidia, one for Intel and one for Bumblebee, and some clutchy non-working hacks that I tried to make while not understanding how it works at all. I'll paste the Nvidia one.
[02:20] <Joelixny> L3top~ http://pastebin.com/GcPjTtJC
[02:21] <L3top> Joelixny: it says, atm, that it is displaying at 1080p @ 50 hz. Please describe how you have this conected to what. eg hdmi to my TV or on my laptop display. as for xorg.conf... it is like Highlander... there can be only one. I want /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:21] <L3top> That is the saddest xorg.conf I have ever seen... almost.
[02:22] <muqman> how do I choose which partition to install ubuntu on?
[02:22] <dcullen> l o l
[02:22] <muqman> I have the partitioning done
[02:22] <muqman> 50gb ext4
[02:22] <Joelixny> L3top~ I have it using the laptop display, and I meant I have other copies, but I pasted the one that's being used. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:22] <Baralabite> G'day, I'm not sure if this is  the best place to ask, but where's the download link to Squid Quota: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/squidquota/
[02:22] <muqman> use as: ext4 journalling file system
[02:22] <muqman> ??
[02:22] <dcullen> ah, well, it's been fun folks
[02:22] <dcullen> adios
[02:22] <Baralabite> Do I download the source and go from there?
[02:22] <Baralabite> Bye!
[02:22] <muqman> so can someone tell me how I choose this partition
[02:22] <L3top> Night dcullen. Hope to se eyou again
[02:22] <Baralabite> Thanks again
[02:23] <muqman> I am confused
[02:23] <muqman> ...
[02:23] <muqman> -_-
[02:23] <FloodBot1> muqman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:23] <dcullen> Take it easy, Baralabite, L3top
[02:23] <Joelixny> muqman~ Yes, use etx4, or etx3, which ever you'd like
[02:23] <jt> can anyone tell me what version of torrent is the latest version
[02:24] <muqman> got that so how do I select this to install ubuntu on
[02:24] <Joelixny> It should say something about mountpoint, chose /. muqman
[02:24] <L3top> Joelixny: please give me the output of: cvt 1920 1080 50
[02:24] <muqman> k
[02:24] <muqman> it is set to /
[02:24] <RIsmos> should just format it and mark it as / (rootfs)
[02:24] <muqman> what is boot flag?
[02:24] <Joelixny> L3top~ # 1920x1080 49.93 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 55.62 kHz; pclk: 141.50 MHz
[02:24] <Joelixny> Modeline "1920x1080_50.00"  141.50  1920 2032 2232 2544  1080 1083 1088 1114 -hsync +vsync
[02:25] <muqman> it is set to off
[02:25] <muqman> will I still install the server to it>
[02:25] <muqman> ?
[02:25] <L3top> muqman: seriously... just keep all of this on one line. Trying to help people and scroll back because you hit enter every 4 words makes my life difficult. I am married... my life is difficult enough. Do not use enter as punctuation.
[02:25] <scottj> I think I heard about a ubuntu-based gnome shell distro recently, anyone know the name?
[02:25] <escott> muqman, flags dont matter
[02:26] <alchemist9> scottj: debian?
[02:26] <scottj> alchemist9: a new distro :)
[02:26] <muqman> ok so I just click save, it will install the server os to the partition with mountpoint set as / and file system set as ext4? not the ntfs? (just need to make sure because I have no interest in destroying windows)
[02:26] <alchemist9> I tryed...
[02:27] <L3top> ty muqman for your effort. Greatly appreciated.
[02:27] <Joelixny> muqman~ wait, stop
[02:28] <muqman> L3to lol so do I hit finish partitioning and write changes to disk? I need to confirm it... so I am sure
[02:28] <muqman> yes Joelixny?
[02:28] <Joelixny> muqman~ Did you chose the one that had windows as your partition? If so it will format it and destroy windows, and install Ubuntu on it.
[02:28] <Seo007> Is your website on page 1 of Google? http://bit.ly/LYh99L
[02:28] <Baralabite> >:D Buh Bye windows!
[02:28] <muqman> can I pm u Joelnxy, this is getting to crowded for me?
[02:29] <Joelixny> muqman~ You may
[02:29] <ladiesman> whats the difference between a cache domain server and one that is not. isn't this stuff just set by the TTL anyway
[02:37] <L3top> Joelixny: can I now have the full output of xrandr in a pastebin
[02:37] <jerkface03> I made an init.d script using the skeleton template. Everything works fine. The only problem is that the current directroy is set to /, which means that all my log files are being written to /, which is wrong. Is there anyway to fix this? Putting in cd /my_custom_directory as the first command in do_start doesn't help
[02:37] <jerkface03> Or, maybe it does work, but it isn't writing the file to that folder
[02:38] <jerkface03> and the user running the init.d script is root
[02:38] <jerkface03> so I think it should be
[02:38] <L3top> jerkface03:  have you looked at other files in init.d for a solution?
[02:38] <Baralabite> What is the best way of limiting the quota of a squid user?
[02:38] <Joelixny> L3top~ http://pastebin.com/2Q668VQv
[02:39] <jerkface03> L3top: I haven't seen much in them
[02:39] <escott> jerkface03, what are you running that doesn't allow the log directory to be specified?
[02:40] <L3top> jerkface03: I define my own logs using tee... which is all I joine init.d scripts to... I may not be of much help.
[02:40] <jerkface03> escott: It's a Java process that logs to files in the current directory.
[02:41] <jerkface03> Also, it looks as if hte init.d script doesn't start up when the system boots
[02:41] <jerkface03> Is there anything I need to do other tahn writing it and putting it into the init.d folder and setting the right permissions on the file?
[02:43] <L3top> Joelixny: please sudo apt-get install xresprobe
[02:43] <ladiesman> so one can have as many non-authorititative dns server on the same domain and they don't collide ? i.e they are more just forwarding dns queries to the authorititative dns server ,...etc ... How then are these different then dnsmasq forwarders ?
[02:43] <L3top> Joelixny: once installed please give me the output of: sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[02:44] <Joelixny> L3top~ Installed
[02:45] <akr> hi guys
[02:46] <akr> anyone know how to convert a 3gp in avidemux to avi or mp4? I can't get the audio to work, only video...
[02:46] <ladiesman> so then non-authorititative dns server are just dnsmasq software forwarders that remember / cache some of there queries but the authoritive dns must make the changes to affect the ip to name resolution unless the cache was somehow changed :)
[02:46] <ladiesman> I see now said the blindman
[02:47] <mgodzilla> L3top, thanks for the link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20Internet%20access
[02:47] <mgodzilla> how do i do this?   "you can download the firmware by simply installing the b43-fwcutter package which does the download and setup for you automatically."
[02:47] <mgodzilla> my apologies for bein' a shade of n00b green.
[02:48] <jamie_> Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my Nvidia driver on my Macbook Pro. It plays videos in 'negative'.

[02:48] <xangua> sudo apt-get install packagename
[02:49] <mgodzilla> thank you :)
[02:49] <ladiesman> is there away to check if a dns server is authoritive or not
[02:49] <L3top> ladiesman... Guest40284 I take it?
[02:49] <ladiesman> yup
[02:49] <SolarisBoy> ladiesman: yes
[02:49] <S4H4N_> Hi guys...I'm on 11.04 and hoping to get latest soon..But now I want to install "wine"...Please tell me how to download it as a package so I can install it on 11.04 now and later on 12.04 without downloading it AGAIN..
[02:49] <SolarisBoy> ladiesman: plenty one simple one is use dnstracer - it will mark which one is authoritive
 Joelixny: once installed please give me the output of: sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange

[02:50] <SolarisBoy> you will need to install it if you dont have it - dnstracer -s 4.2.2.2 <domain.com>
[02:50] <ladiesman> excellent is there any tool that allows you to view the cached entries of an non-authorititative dns server
[02:50] <jt> media/
[02:50] <jt> ?
[02:50] <S4H4N_> xangua : Then where will I find that package file??

[02:53] <L3top> jamie_: that card should have no issue with the nvidia-current driver. I do not know what is blocking its use.
[02:53] <L3top> Joelixny: most of the issue I am having at this point... is that your LVDS is failing to give me EDID data I need.
[02:53] <S4H4N_> xangua : What I want is to download Wine as a "installation package"..So I will able to install it again and again without downloading it again...
[02:54] <jamie_> It worked before, but recently had this issue.
[02:54] <xangua> S4H4N_: wine is the package name for wine...
[02:54] <DWSR> Can anyone help me with getting AMD Catalyst to work? I try to launch it and it tells me that I don´t have the AMD driver installed (which I do, according to the Additional Drivers applet), or that I need to use `aticonfig`, which I´ve done. Any thoughts?
[02:54] <xangua> !info wine | S4H4N_
[02:54] <Joelixny> L3top~ What do you think might be causing that? I can try to fix it
[02:54] <L3top> You can't. It is a hardware thing. Your monitor is shy and thinks my free candy van is sketchy so it wont talk to me.
[02:55] <L3top> We will try a couple of things. Wont blow anything up.
[02:55] <Joelixny> L3top~ Ok, awaiting orders.
[02:55] <smax> hi
[02:56] <smax> Why does ubuntu automattically unassign the ip address shortly after statically assigning it?  I can't have that.  I just bricked a router flashing it.

[02:58] <akr> anyone know how I can convert 3gp to avi in avidemux?
[02:59] <smax> Friggen network manager sucks.
[02:59] <L3top> Ok Joelixny. Lets backup that /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use this instead. http://pastebin.com/FqmPC46d
[02:59] <L3top> Joelixny: Please reboot.
[02:59] <L3top> after
[03:00] <L3top> Joelixny: clearly if you can't see stuff, revert and reboot again.
[03:00] <L3top> Joelixny: Oh... forgot... please sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates       before that reboot
[03:01] <Joelixny> L3top~ Ok, understood. Wait, do I uninstall the nvidia drivers and bumblebee now?
[03:02] <L3top> Joelixny sorry, I though you already had. So... to refresh... uninstall bumblebee, nvidia driver... apt-get install repo nvidia driver, cp over our new xorg.conf, then reboot :)
[03:03] <Joelixny> Do I just sudo apt-get remove bumblebee?
[03:04] <Joelixny> L3top~ Do I just sudo apt-get remove bumblebee? Also, I also have bumblebee-nvidia, I unistall that too, right?

[03:25] <S4H4N_> mneptok : The latest version that is STABLE..

[03:25] <mneptok> S4H4N_: the package in the default repos does not satisfy your needs?
[03:25] <L3top> evilytwisted: this is a support channel. Do you have a support question?
[03:26] <evilytwisted> yeah actually i do
[03:26] <evilytwisted> the question i have is relevant to postal 2 though
[03:26] <bobweaver> S4H4N_,  Play on linux IMHO is great for managing wine
[03:26] <mneptok> bobweaver: i have no experience with playonlinux
[03:26] <evilytwisted> L3top:  i cant get sound to work through the native game  not the one running through wine

[03:27] <S4H4N_> mneptok : Actually that's not the case.. I need to download it as a *FILE* (like a setup file in windows)..Then I will able install it again and again WITHOUT downloading it again...
[03:27] <evilytwisted> it is a ubuntu support quetion...
[03:28] <bobweaver> mneptok,  you can choose the version that you want to use it gets it for you makes virtual drives has all the wine setup for games and what not meaning that it sets up all dependency's and what not
[03:28] <muqman> it says invalid argument for "password"

[03:28] <anton1207> muqman, without quotes, if there's any in your provider's info sheet
[03:29] <mneptok> bobweaver: i'd trust packages designed for a specific architecture. a PPA is my last resort.
[03:29] <evilytwisted> like i said before its relevant to that game,  i followed this instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408709  which i got http://pastebin.com/c9uD5nEs  i cant play sound in postal 2 native for linux

[03:35] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  downloadthis,sorry i was wrong to tell you to untar that file: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
[03:35] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  this will work, it's a bit large but that'll do
[03:36] <bobweaver> S4H4N_,  play on linux connects to the wine db ok so you can install any version of wine that is in the data base and it also 100% dose all that work untaring and installing and configuring and is a gui
[03:36] <mneptok> bobweaver: and unsupported
[03:37] <bobweaver> mneptok,  what do you mean unsupported ?
[03:37] <mneptok> bobweaver: there are discussions about whether or not to support PPAs here. questions about playonlinux in this channel will get referred elsewhere. make sure people know that.
[03:37] <NMachado> S4H4N_, bobweaver's right download that from that link or do the command l3top gave you asthe one i gave you before was wrong, sorry about that
[03:37] <bobweaver> !info playonlinux
[03:38] <mneptok> bobweaver: a bit late for the official package info now that other users are suggesting people download stuff from the web.
[03:38]  * mneptok sighs
[03:39] <anton1207> muqman, i couldn't connect to your wifi, it's too far from me. maybe i'm stupid a bit? ))
[03:39] <bobweaver> ahh thanks mneptok  for the heads up
[03:39] <mneptok> NMachado: downloading random tarballs and such from websites is not how software is preferably installed and maintained in Ubuntu.
[03:40] <muqman> :D just thought you could give me the bash script...
[03:41] <anton1207> muqman, :D no, i haven't any ))
[03:41] <NMachado> mneptok what's wrong with you?? certainly are here more older member that said nothing about what i was saying, i was just helping him.. lol please do not tell me that you only download things from USC..ok fine my bad :)
[03:41] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  it's up to you, i helpedyou till where i could maybe some users, know how to help you best :) cheers
[03:41] <mneptok> NMachado: you started with "what's wrong with you" and ended with a smiley. it's a very mixed message.
[03:42] <S4H4N_> NMachado : Thanks a lot...
[03:43] <NMachado> nmpetok i'm a little bit crazy, but it's up tou you to get the meaning of the phrase,i did no harm to you and didn't disrepected you
[03:43] <S4H4N_> mneptok : Thanks...
[03:43] <mneptok> S4H4N_: install either the playonlinux package or the PPA version of WINE. but use Ubuntu packages.
[03:43] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  try that command that L3top corrected for me and untar that file
[03:44] <S4H4N_> bobweaver : thanks..
[03:44] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  or download that .deb file and you'regood to go!
[03:44] <Joelixny> L3top~ Ok, done. About to restart.
[03:44] <mneptok> NMachado: please stop recommending tarballs until we figure out of an actual Ubuntu package will work
[03:44] <bobweaver> S4H4N_,  np have fun with what ever you are doing with wine :)
[03:45] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  the .deb file of playonlinux that bobweaver mentioned also
[03:46] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  that will do thesame of wine because it's just a graphical frontend for it
[03:47] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  somethings can just be uncomplicated if we want to :)
[03:49] <ki4ro_> .
[03:51] <NMachado> S4H4N_,  sorry but i really need to go now,you can ask for other ways to do that, i just gave you my opinion and help, because i did the same once, because i had a problem similar to yours. Be well and i hope you can get what you want! Anytime you need :) hope to see you soon
[03:54] <Joelixny> L3top~ I restarted, but when x starts, it flickers a bit and then hangs in a light purple screen.

[03:59] <DarKnight2012> is there any way I can check what IP addresses have logged into my Ubuntu via ssh?
[03:59] <Joelixny> L3top~ Also, using my former xorg.conf works, but with a very low resolution, such as when I would use my xorg.conf meant for Nvidia with intel, and viceversa. On top the ttys are also low resolution, like always when using the Nvidia GPU.
[04:00] <DarKnight2012> kevinlu310: did you check /var/log/syslog?
[04:00] <VirtualBlackness> !nomodeset | Sorry Joelixny, have some issues of my own over here... try this please.

[04:11] <kevinlu310> DarKnight2012: I just checked /var/log/syslog. I did see some failed events, but I don't know what those error message is meaning actually.
[04:14] <DarKnight2012> kevinlu310: you may try to pastebin those message here and someone with knowledge can try to help
[04:15] <tauame> what is the default code for the file .bash_login in the home directory?
[04:17] <karl> ciao
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <smw> Jrod-V1, who are you asking?
[04:21] <Jrod-V1> @smv you sorry :)
[04:21] <smw> smw ;-). but yes, I am
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <Jrod-V1> can you use the bluetooth dongle to connect anything else?
[04:24] <smw> don't have anything else to connect
[04:25] <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?
[04:26] <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.
[04:27] <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
[04:32] <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 :-\
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <VirtualBlackness> Ok Joelixny. I will revisit it.
[04:35] <VirtualBlackness> Joelixny: I expect it has to do with the hsync/vrefresh I cannot get from your EDID
[04:35] <Joelixny> What are those?
[04:36] <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.
[04:37] <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] <smw> Jrod-V1, reboot did not help
[04:38] <Jrod-V1> Can XBMC start without it paired now?
[04:38] <tking> xangua what is nautilus
[04:39] <quixotedon> tking: nautilus is file explorer
[04:39] <tking> quixotedon, the home folder or the dash?
[04:39] <quixotedon> yeah, that's right tking
[04:40] <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?
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <tking> quixotedon, alright thx
[04:43] <Jrod-V1> I gotta take off all. sorry I  coun't have been of much help.
[04:44] <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.

[05:31] <roothorick> trying to install Sun JDK from a PPA because minecraft. sun-java6-bin won't install because it needs sun-java6-jre which won't install because it needs sun-java6-bin which won't install because.....
[05:31] <roothorick> and "apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin" gives BOTH errors and doesn't install anything
[05:31] <roothorick> so.... what do I do
[05:34] <jagginess> roothorick, bs
[05:34] <jagginess> roothorick, jdk is for development..
[05:35] <bbotf> It is set to 60. 59.xx is not an option i can choose from
[05:35] <roothorick> yeah, I know. I get those two confused. I need to install the JRE
[05:35] <jagginess> roothorick, java is already in the repos, dunno why you download the non-dpkg one
[05:35] <jagginess> !java
[05:35]  * jagginess also says to check out "galternatives" to set the preferred java binary
[05:36] <roothorick> jagginess: OpenJDK is. LWJGL is next to useless in OpenJDK.
[05:36] <roothorick> I need *ORACLE* JRE
[05:36] <asses> does anyone here like anal

[05:36] <quaisi> hi I'm on 12.04 - when I type thunderbird --version I get Thunderbird 3.1.  If I try to add the stable mozilla thunderbird it tells me i'm already at the latest version - i thought the most stable was around version 13?
[05:36] <roothorick> jagginess: yes, but I need to install the damned JRE in the first place

[05:51] <weiyang> can i install 64bit version of ubuntu?
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> weiyang: try it and it will tell you at install

[05:52] <rajumoh> he he
[05:56] <joosengee> Someone can talk to me into room of this chat?
[05:56] <jagginess> weiyang, yes, it's the amd64 iso (or may be labelled as x86_64 iso download)
[05:56] <weiyang> width: 32 bits
[05:56] <t4nk301> Hi
[05:56] <jagginess> !amd64
[05:56] <weiyang> jagginess, just find amd64 version
[05:57] <t4nk301> I m getting dis error while editing crontab of root on ubuntu 8.04 -  "sudo fcrontab -e 22:40:44 fcrontab : editing root's fcrontab 22:41:29 could not open /etc/fcron.allow: Permission denied"
[05:57] <jagginess> weiyang, the "amd64" branch is used for intel's x86_64 also.
[05:57] <t4nk301> What can be the problem ??
[05:57] <weiyang> jagginess,  thanks
[05:58] <jagginess> weiyang, (choose your flavor-> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ) (don't download the 'windows installer' version-- this one is crap and not a real native installer)
[05:58] <jagginess> weiyang, (choose '64 bit' of course)

[06:00] <tking> hi guys how do i view apps opened in the current workspace?
[06:02] <rajumoh> quaisi: i have 11.10 and thunderbird 13.0.1 installed/upgraded from sources.  have done a apt-get update and then tried to upgrade it from package manager ?
[06:03] <tking> pls i cant watch youtube videos on firefox and opera keeps saying shockwave flash has crashed!
[06:04] <quaisi> thanks rajumoh - yes I have done multiple apt-get update && apt-get upgrade commands - i've added the thunderbird ppa /thunderbird-stable and upgraded and still have 3.1 which is very bizarre
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> tking: did you download flash from software centre
[06:04] <tking> not sure
[06:05] <tking> i think i downloaded it from the website
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> tking:try to install that1
[06:07] <rajumoh> quaisi: coud be that dpkg is broken some way have u tried
[06:07] <rajumoh> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:07] <tking> lotuspsychje, from the website or terminal, cos i can see yum, rpm and tar,gz
[06:07] <jagginess> dpkg -C is same
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> tking: install the one from software centre not from web
[06:09] <quaisi> thanks again rajumoh but that hasn't worked either - do you know what version of thunderbird 12.04 comes with?
[06:09] <tking> lotuspsychje, it is showing installed, that means its from the SC
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> tking: maybe try uninstall and back install, then reboot
[06:10] <rajumoh> quaisi: btw, i never installed thinderbird from mozila repo. it came listed in repo . as for of the top of my head i think 12.04 comes with thunderbird 11 i think
[06:10] <tking> lotuspsychje, ok
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> tking: are you up to date also?
[06:10] <tking> lotus yes, i did it 1hr ago
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> tking:ok, flash can be triggy sometimes, installing original or web version
[06:11] <jagginess> rajumoh, thunderbird.. thinderbird is for thin minded people
[06:11] <jagginess> lotuspsychje, triggy!=tricky
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> cool an on-chat vocabelarie
[06:13] <rajumoh> jagginess: sorry, did not get the joke :-(
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> lol
[06:13] <Joelixny> VirtualBlackness~ Phew, that was a ride. Anyway, I got some info on why it won't boot, should I PM you the error message?
[06:13] <l3d> doing a partial upgrade will that mess up my 10.10 install cuase i hate  11.10 and above
[06:14] <rajumoh> l3d: partial upgrade ?
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> l3d:what u mean by partial
[06:14] <quaisi> thanks for the help - i will remove and then reboot and then install from the software centre and see if that works at all
[06:14] <rajumoh> np
[06:15] <tking> anyway lotuspsychje how do i see all opened windows in workspace
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> tking: theres a hotkey with ccsm, not sure wich
[06:15] <l3d> says not all updates can be installed wants to do that in order to install them
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> tking:got ccsm installed?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> l3d:as long as you dont choose distro upgrade, you are fine
[06:16] <rogst> tking: Super+W ?
[06:17] <l3d> k
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> l3d: ubuntu precise is higly recommended though...
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> l3d: if you dont like unity changes you can run precise with gnome shell and run classic or something
[06:18] <tking> rogst, lotuspsychje, i hv ccsm installed and i thought i use to click something and everything shows in a workspace without using super+w i cant remember if there is a botton or icon to clicj that displays it instead of shortcut keys
[06:20] <rogst> tking: like the workspace switcher in the launcher ?
[06:20] <tking> rogst, yes
[06:22] <tking> how do i install rpm files pls
[06:22] <rogst> tking: I guess you could create a custom .desktop file and stick it to the lanucher that does the Super+W for you

[06:26] <qubits> hey
[06:26] <qubits> Something aptitude did made my raid data vol go away
[06:26] <qubits> can someone help me to mount it back
[06:32] <LigH> Greetings.
[06:34] <LigH> update-manager asks me to report an unsolvable problem, including a specific error message. Unfortunately doesn't tell me how and where to report...
[06:34] <LigH> http://paste.frubar.net/15030
[06:35] <SuperMiguel> is there an app to stream from ubuntu to a airplay speaker?
[06:37] <LigH> SuperMiguel: XBMC?
[06:37] <SuperMiguel> LigH: can XBMC connect to them?
[06:38] <LigH> Google [ ubuntu airplay ] - top 5 hit.
[06:38] <LigH> Google [ ubuntu airplay server ] as well.
[06:38] <SuperMiguel> ya but i think XBMC acts as a server
[06:39] <SuperMiguel> i want ubuntu to be a client
[06:39] <SuperMiguel> Totem will do but it only works with movie player
[06:39] <SuperMiguel> i want play web audio
[06:39] <LigH> Sorry, no practical experience on my side.
[06:40] <SuperMiguel> LigH: no problem boss
[06:40] <LigH> No boss...
[06:45] <LigH> update-manager asks me to report an unsolvable problem, including a specific error message. Unfortunately doesn't tell me how and where to report...
[06:45] <LigH> 'sudo apt-get check' does not report errors.
[06:45] <LigH> Synaptic reports that some package sources could not be downloaded.
[06:45] <LigH> http://paste.frubar.net/15030
[06:51] <geirha> LigH: Deleting the partially downloaded lists in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ and running apt-get update again usually resolves that
[06:51] <radamashe> howdy
[06:51] <geirha> LigH: I'm not sure why it happens exactly, but I suspect it's the mirror that had some "hick-up"
[06:52] <radamashe> so does anyone know how to setup wmfs? or awesome? and configure it
[06:52] <LigH> I am a bit concerned about "precise-security/*/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.20 80]"
[06:52] <MikeS11> radamashe: I use it. I wouldn't consider my installation very customized though.
[06:53] <radamashe> MikeS11: can you explain how to install it?
[06:53] <MikeS11> radamashe: sudo apt-get install awesome awesome-extra
[06:53] <radamashe> what about wmfs?
[06:54] <MikeS11> radamashe: Well, because it is window manager from *scratch*; the whole point is to build it yourself. For more information: http://wmfs.info/
[06:54] <geirha> LigH: It can't find the package file on the german mirror. I'd try switching to the main server until that german mirror gets fixed
[06:55] <ramkr> so about "awesome" are there any bugs, right now none of the desktop managers are bug free, of course many of them aren't suited for control freaks :-)
[06:55] <geirha> LigH: Perhaps check in #ubuntu-de if any others are having trouble with that mirror
[06:55] <Solomon> ...
[06:55] <LigH> geirha: Suddenly the update-manager appeared, and listed updatable packages... | #ubuntu-de is extinct...
[06:55] <radamashe> ramkr: I just want to learn how to make a cool "riced" desktop if you will
[06:56] <geirha> LigH: Well it seems it successfully downloaded some Package files at least
[06:56] <LigH> I'll still try your suggestion.
[06:57] <LigH> OK, update-manager is as quick as usual again.
[06:57] <LigH> \o Bye.

[07:11] <ssrvm> is it possible to recover folder/file formatting and reinstalling ext3 partition?
[07:11] <ssrvm> help?
[07:12] <NewWorld> ssrvm:  you missed a word - recover file AFTER? formatting?
[07:12] <yafoy> test ---->testdisk
[07:12] <ssrvm> NewWorld: thank you for poitning out my grammmaaatiiical mistake. that helped me a lot. and helped me get back my files. and reduced my panic. thank you so much.
[07:13] <tang> hello
[07:13] <NewWorld> ssrvm:  I just didn't understand the question and was asking you to clarify
[07:13] <ssrvm> ok
[07:13] <ssrvm> nvm
[07:14] <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?
[07:16] <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?
[07:17] <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 =)
[07:18] <NewWorld> ssrvm:  I think it was this one: http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-ext2-ext3-drive.htm
[07:19] <ssrvm> NewWorld: thanks i will try ti.
[07:19] <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] <NewWorld> ssrvm:  Just make sure not to boot into that partition
[07:19] <NewWorld> ssrvm:  And try not to mount until you recover it
[07:19] <c0yot3> hello
[07:20] <ssrvm> NewWorld: ok
[07:20] <ssrvm> NewWorld: Antonis thanks. need to go. bye
[07:23] <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?
[07:26] <\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.
[07:27] <nilsga> \Jan Yes, I have tried both --force and --package
[07:28] <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
[07:30] <nilsga> The only way it works is selecting it in the profile chooser that appears.
[07:31] <maplesoft> how to know which app is listening to which port?
[07:32] <[deXter]> maplesoft, netstat
[07:32] <robertzaccour> does kdenlive work excactly the same in mint as it does ubuntu? in ubuntu most the formats can't be used for rendering.
[07:33] <robertzaccour> I understand this chat is for ubuntu help, just wondering if anyone knows.
[07:33] <susundberg> maplesoft: lsof works also
[07:33] <histo> !codecs | robertzaccour
[07:34] <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] <maplesoft> susundberg [Derek] i just need to see 5 or 7 of my ports. which apps listen to them. not the establish connections
[07:35] <histo> maplesoft: netstat | grep port#
[07:36] <susundberg> (with -p option to see which program i think)
[07:37] <maplesoft> histo [Derek] susundberg netstat -tulpn says

[07:39] <maplesoft> histo [Derek] sumdumbot what is using the 7070 port?
[07:40] <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
[07:42] <histo> maplesoft: should be whatever pid 11928 is
[07:42] <maplesoft> susundberg histo lsof -n -i |grep 7070 shows nothing
[07:42] <Erwyn> hello
[07:43] <maplesoft> histo why .. it says -

[07:45] <susundberg> maplesoft: oh, you might need to run the command with root permissions
[07:45] <susundberg> at least i got my sshd listening port listed whend doing "sudo lsof -i :22"
[07:45] <l3d> i was wondering if i could update gimp in 10.10 to 2.8. if so how ?
[07:46] <susundberg> (when doing the lsof with normal permissions it didn't show up)
[07:46] <histo> maplesoft: looks like irc to me
[07:46] <maplesoft> oh shit. i missed sudo . its java     18398   root   60u  IPv6 546572      0t0  TCP *:7070 (LISTEN)
[07:49] <l3d> i was wondering if i could update gimp in 10.10 to 2.8. if so how ??
[07:49] <histo> maplesoft: missed sudo with what?
[07:50] <maplesoft> it should have been sudo netstat -tulpn
[07:50] <maplesoft> not netstat -tulpn
[07:50] <maplesoft> sudo gives 7070 info

[08:22] <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?
[08:23] <tanuki> In other words, how do I set the default media type for a printer?
[08:23] <Error404NotFound> Any m17x owners here? I installed 12.04 just now and notice that it doesn't charge when i replugged power adapter. /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/state shows off-line though adapter is plugged in. If i reboot then ubuntu detects it, google says its a common issue with no solution besides power cycle.

[08:24] <histo> Error404NotFound: power charging should be a software issue
[08:25] <bilgin> hi there's  a repository for newer packages( blender 2.63, gimp 2.8 but not seperate repositories for each program)
[08:26] <Error404NotFound> histo: and ubuntu isn't a software? :)
[08:26] <mboreinz> hey
[08:28] <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.
[08:30] <tanuki> histo: There doesn't appear to be any relevant option there.

[08:38] <VEndix> http://www.k3b.org/
[08:39] <papa> is k3b reliable i will burn loads of stuff so
[08:39] <papa> one more question suppose i burn using k3b will windows detect those dvds ?
[08:40] <bekks> It is as reliable as other apps.
[08:40] <papa> k
[08:41] <papa> pls answer the above mentioned question
[08:42] <papa> a kde application in gnome will it run properly amarok has many problems in ubuntu
[08:43] <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 ?
[08:44] <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] <papa> unfortunately it does
[08:44] <VEndix> maybe it is a problem with your writting device?
[08:44] <oskar-> hi, how do i install a current ubuntu on a server without graphics card by serial console? appending console=ttyS0,115200 or similar does not help...
[08:44] <papa> it destroyed my 3 moserbaer rewritable dvds :(
[08:45] <rogst> papa: you mean that brasero hangs and does not complete the burn

[08:49] <vampirnata> What's the most efficient way of doing a full system backup on UbuntuServer? Rsync? or just tar?
[08:49] <HSarena> Hi! after i login to ubuntu, my touchpad is broken, sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it works but just one of the button doesn't work, here is xinput list if it's useful: http://pastebin.com/6VCNG9nz, please help me!
[08:49] <someguy> i'm trying to put them onto a lg cosmos 2
[08:50] <k1l_> someguy: use a pastebin service instead of pasting it here
[08:50] <someguy> my bad
[08:50] <papa> suppose if i don't update ubuntu for a long time is it risky?
[08:50] <someguy> sorry
[08:52] <cebor> papa,  risky to user, or risky to upgrade ???
[08:52] <cebor> use
[08:53] <papa> honestly some updates broke my network a few days back i did not update after reinstalling it
[08:54] <papa> i am having connectivity issue in adsl-pppoe in gnome 3 and unity i had this isssue in kde but kde fixed this now
[08:57] <someguy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101503/
[09:01] <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?
[09:02] <Sling> apparmor should only block whats in the loaded profiles right?
[09:02] <usr13> Sling: no
[09:03] <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
[09:04] <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
[09:05] <ANub> any one has experienced this behavior...?
[09:05] <usr13> ANub: Maybe an issue with your ISP?
[09:05] <ANub> nope
[09:06] <ANub> ubuntu's wireless drivers can't seem to handle lots of peering connections
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <usr13> tanuki: Here is how it works.  You ask a question.
 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?
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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.
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <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 ?
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <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] <magpie> tanuki from tom robbins?
[09:15] <ikonia> tanuki: where is the print queue/spooler looking in your setup
[09:17] <tanuki> ikonia: ?
[09:17] <tanuki> Hrm. Switching drivers seems to fix the problem.

[09:27] <geirha> joosengee: Why do you want to do that?
[09:27] <[deXter]> joosengee, As a root user, you can.
[09:27] <joosengee> to make the space and need to increase the performance of notebook.

[09:28] <cfhowlett> rachel_: type of wireless card?  Broadcom?
[09:28] <joosengee> if I want to increase my notebook, how can I do. I use the os ubuntu?
[09:28] <rachel_> Realtek
[09:29] <geirha> joosengee: Just adjust the logrotation to rotate it more often
[09:29] <rachel_> RTL 8723AE
[09:29] <cfhowlett> rachel_: ah.  haven't had to do that one.  Google is your friend: ubuntu rtl9723a
[09:29] <phix> joosengee: install more RAM, replace CPU with a faster one
[09:29] <geirha> joosengee: Also, freeing space won't speed up your notebook
[09:29] <rachel_> Toshiba laptop Satellite C850, Realtek RTL 8723AE
[09:29] <joosengee> What's about logrotation to rotate ?
[09:30] <rachel_> help
[09:30] <phix> joosengee: that wont make your computer go any faster though
[09:30] <shomon> hi, how do I find out what ports a server is listening on?
[09:30] <lmd284> does anyone uses here enlightenment wm
[09:30] <[deXter]> No
[09:30] <shomon> it's tryton - it says it should be running on "all available ports" - which would they be?
[09:30] <joosengee> The speed upto ram?
[09:30] <geirha> joosengee: I just mentioned it in case you are low on space. If you rotate it more often, the log will in general use less space
[09:30] <cfhowlett> rachelhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized_: see
[09:31] <phix> joosengee: You could try applying wax to your computer tower, it works for 28.8K baud modems :P

[09:46] <papa> codecs installed just flash problem help meo ut pls :)
[09:46] <cfhowlett> New2Ubuntu: identify the card
[09:46] <aether> joosengee: I think what you want to do it to shutdown a remote windows PC. Is this correct? http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/60324-remote-shutdown-windows-linux-box.html
[09:47] <New2Ubuntu> its ATI. i get the message of installing a proprietry driver but in the middle of installation it gives an error
[09:47] <New2Ubuntu> and then says it cannot be installed
[09:47] <ScottHarrison> hey guys... maybe a bit OT but does anyone know why XChat demands the "#" prefix when joining a channel? I just find it odd.
[09:47] <[deXter]> New2Ubuntu, Why do you want install the driver?
[09:48] <[deXter]> ScottHarrison, It's not XChat, that's how the IRC protocol was designed.
[09:48] <New2Ubuntu> i can't get the right graphics for my card without it plus 3d effects don't work
[09:48] <[deXter]> ScottHarrison, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat#Channels
[09:48] <cfhowlett> New2Ubuntu: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[09:48] <ScottHarrison> deXter, chatzilla doesn't require it.
[09:49] <[deXter]> ScottHarrison, Chatzilla is for noobs.
[09:49] <aether> New2Ubuntu: which card to you have and which ubuntu version are you using?
[09:50] <New2Ubuntu> 12.04
[09:50] <ScottHarrison> deXter, I have no problem with either client... Nothing wrong with making things easier for noobs, though.
[09:51] <New2Ubuntu> ATI Raedon. but will have to see which series it is
[09:51] <New2Ubuntu> also other than that, how can i install a dlink 3G modem? i am not getting any option to do that
[09:52] <cfhowlett> New2Ubuntu: one issue at a time is my strong suggestion
[09:52] <[deXter]> ScottHarrison, Fair enough I guess,
[09:53] <papa> flash is installed aargh why the video is not playing
[09:54] <cfhowlett> papa: try this.  install a video downloader plugin to firefox.  Download and save a video.  If the video will play offline, it's a flash issue most likely.
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> or minitube
[09:56] <aether> papa: Do other videos play? which graphics card do you have installed? what is the output of browsing to about:plugins in firefox?

[10:06] <histo> Arthar360: you would need headers atleast for you current kernel in fedora
[10:06] <histo> Arthar360: not sure what their package would be called though
[10:07] <MasterOfDisaster> Arthar360: yum search kernel | grep headers <-- that should tell you :)
[10:07] <aether> Arthar360: try 'yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc'
[10:07] <histo> Arthar360: yeah kernel-devel

[10:11] <New2Ubuntu> does it always take 10-15 min for Ubuntu to boot?? :-s
[10:11] <cjs> I just installed 12.04 32-bit, and it's not giving me a hibernate option on my desktop machine, only suspend. How do I get hibernate as well?
[10:11] <MasterOfDisaster> New2Ubuntu: sure, it's a hardcoded sleep() in the bootup scripts</sarcasm>
[10:12] <geirha> cjs: You need a swap partition that is greater than physical ram
[10:12] <aether> New2Ubuntu: No. You computer was probably running fsck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsck
[10:12] <New2Ubuntu> Okay. how do i get to fix that?
[10:13] <aether> it shouldn't happen next time if you turn your computer off correctly
[10:13] <aiko1895> hey
[10:13] <MasterOfDisaster> New2Ubuntu: it should only happen every 30 boots or so
[10:13] <New2Ubuntu> no. i properly restarted my system
[10:13] <aether> New2Ubuntu: but it could be another problem, I'm just guessing as to what it was.
[10:13] <cjs> gerryvdm: I have that. My phyical RAM is 8 GB, my swap partition is 8200 MB.
[10:13] <New2Ubuntu> and when i booted it again, it got stuck for 15 min
[10:13] <MasterOfDisaster> New2Ubuntu: check with dumpe2fs/tune2fs whether it really was fsck
[10:14] <geirha> cjs: Hm. Did you create it that large during install, or did you change it later?
[10:14] <New2Ubuntu> also before restarting, i could use multiple desktops, now its only giving me mirror option and won't let me extend my desktop :-s
[10:14] <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
[10:15] <cjs> gerryvdm: I created it during install. But! My swap partition isn't the size I asked for when I installed, according to "swapon -s". It's just 8007676 KB. So you're right about the problem.
[10:15] <cjs> Oops, that was to geirha, not gerryvdm.
[10:15] <geirha> Actually, 8GiB is 8.59GB
[10:15] <cjs> Thanks for the help!
[10:15] <haylo> quiet on freenode right now
[10:16] <haylo> kind of weird
[10:16] <cjs> gerryvdm: If I give the installer "GB", does it not use GiB?
[10:16] <haylo> ish
[10:16] <aether> geirha: 8GB ram is 8192
[10:16] <lardman> Morning, I've finally got round to updating my desktop box to 12.04 LTS and am facing the wonders of Dash. I have a 3 monitor Xinerama desktop which prevents the Settings>Display from running; could someone tell me how to disable "Sticky borders" without the using Display please (gconf setting?)
[10:16]  * lardman thinks he should re-read after editing and before posting
[10:16] <geirha> aether: 8GiB is 8192MiB, which is 8388608KiB, ...
[10:17] <geirha> cjs: Pretty sure the installer uses base 10
[10:17] <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] <cjs> geirha: Well, good to know that then!
[10:18] <geirha> cjs: The size will never be exact anyway, it adjusts it to fill sectors/cylinders/whatever
[10:18] <cjs> geirha: Yeah, I always give it a bit more anyway, and expect it to be adjusted upwards appropriately.
[10:19] <geirha> cjs: Just give it 9G and you should be safe
[10:19] <cjs> geirha: Yeah, I guess. It's only a 60 GB SSD, so I hate to waste space, but....
[10:20] <geirha> cjs: Then lose some RAM :P
[10:20] <bilgin> hi is there a repository for newer versions
[10:21] <cfhowlett> bilgin: newer versions of what?
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> bilgin  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:21] <cjs> geirha: :-)
[10:21] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: dist-upgrade to install the newest versions from a repo
[10:21] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. In nautilus, when I connect to a server using sftp(ssh), I need to enter a folder, which defaults to /. How do I make nautilus not request a specific folder, but just open the homedir of the user. The problem is that the users homedir is not /home/<username> on the server I am connecting to
[10:23] <bilgin> MonkeyDust: not exactly i wanted. In other distros gimp 2.8 or blender 2.63 in official repo, is there a repo something like that(i know there are spesific repos for each program but there are a one repo inculiding all?) (sorry for spelling mistakes)
[10:23] <MonkeyDust> bilgin  2.8 is not yet in ubuntu's repos, type !latest to find out why
[10:23] <harry__> system program problem detected.......   is this a virus??
[10:24] <cfhowlett> bilgin: I doubt there's a repo of the latest development version of programs
[10:24] <Us3r_Unfriendly> finally have a decent question for you, how would you execute a command if you typed out a incorrect password when using 'sudo'?
[10:24] <cfhowlett> harry__: you seeing that message in firefox?
[10:24] <altin> hi there
[10:24] <harry__> yes
[10:24] <bilgin> cfhowlett: that's what i exactly looking for
[10:24] <altin> I dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[10:24] <altin> where can it be ?
[10:24] <cfhowlett> harry__: fake.
[10:24] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i know it'd be in my sudoers file, but I couldn't find it
[10:25] <harry__> cfhowlett yes
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> altin  there is none
[10:25] <harry__> cfhowlett how can I fix it.. i thought it was fake.
[10:25] <cfhowlett> harry__: see if they offer a fix to your "windows" problem.
[10:26] <harry__> cfhowlett I dont understand////   windows is on a different partition
[10:26] <cfhowlett> Harry__  Remember Admiral Ackbar?  It's a TRAP!
[10:27] <bilgin> cfhowlett: do you know a repository for it or can you say how can i find it
[10:27] <altin> MonkeyDust: I need it for this http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Compositing
[10:28] <harry__> cfhowlet ???  I know it is a bot or a bug or something because I have used ubuntu for a long time and NEVER saw anything like it.. It askes for my password which I was not stupid to put in.. how to get rid of it???
[10:28]  * lardman wonders if moving to KDE is the best solution
[10:28] <cfhowlett> bilgin: if you want the latest versions of programs, you're looking at downloading and installing yourself, possibly even compiling.
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> altin  i guess there's a ppa for gimp 2.8, but it is not officially supported
[10:28] <bilgin> i see
[10:29] <ikonia> and it's something I would advise staying clear of
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> altin  i mixed your question with bilgin 's, sorry
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> !xorgconf | altin
[10:29] <cfhowlett> harry__: personally, I set my ffox preferences to delete all content when I close down, never remember history and suggest nothing on the location bar.  Also clear all history.
[10:30] <cfhowlett> harry__: As a rule, if you're in ubuntu, and you get a Windows alert, you can safely assume it BS
[10:32] <harry__> cfhowlet ???  I know ...  Just did a google on it.. Press Alt +F2 to clear cashe...  Ill also take your advise.. Thanks for the help
[10:32] <cfhowlett> harry__: good luck.
[10:34] <harry__> cfhowlett  on a side note,, I do empty everything when I am done with computer.. I dont get that???  oh well we will see
[10:37] <mnice__> hello
[10:37] <mnice__> wtf .. where is /var/log/messages ?
[10:40] <geirha> mnice__: langauge. There's no standard that dictates there should be a /var/log/messages
[10:41] <geirha> mnice__: If you want it, change the syslog configuration accordingly.
[10:41] <mnice__> and is that a reason to commit retarded decisions ? hmm .. thanks for info, gonna to suggest to customer that they should get rid of ubuntu on their server
[10:41] <mnice__> enough
[10:42]  * mnice__ bleeds from eyes when reading what geirha said
[10:43] <geirha> mnice__: *shrug* just read /var/log/syslog instead
[10:43] <mnice__> geirha: you can commit whatever in the same manner ..
[10:44] <mnice__> geirha: JFMI, is it ubuntu specific or was it adopted from debian ?
[10:44]  * mnice__ works mostly with el and sle + sysV unixes
[10:45] <somethinginteres> trying to connect my Galaxy S2 phone to Ubuntu. Worked before, suddenly not working. dmesg says " usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd gvfs-gphoto2-vo rqt 33 rq 102 len 0 ret -110". Ideas?
[10:45] <geirha> mnice__: No idea, but seriously, if you want certain log messages in certain files, configure syslog accordingly.
[10:45] <auronandace> mnice__: just so you know, ubuntu uses upstart rather than traditional sysv
[10:46] <mnice__> geirha: thanks for info .. sure thing
[10:46] <mnice__> auronandace: yes, i know
[10:46] <auronandace> mnice__: ah, sorry
[10:46] <mnice__> auronandace: and el shifted to systemd in el6

[10:56] <delac> for some reason totem plays all videos in fast forward and without audio. This only happends for one user. What gives?
[10:56] <susundberg> delac: you mean it works fine with other users on the same machine?
[10:57] <newbird696> !list
[10:58] <delac> susundberg: yes
[10:59] <delac> susundberg: also newly created user. No previous usage of totem or custom settings.
[10:59] <susundberg> delac: then try moving/removing the totem preferences files to new location (if they would be in .totem do mv .totem .totem_old )
[11:01] <delac> susundberg: there is none of them as it is new user
[11:02] <susundberg> delac: so totem doesnt work on new users but it works on some old users?
[11:04] <delac> susundberg: yes
[11:06] <nocturn> Hi, I just reinstalled precise on my laptop but it gets stuck in Unity 2D, what could be wrong
[11:07] <Soul_Soup> Excuse
[11:08] <ripdisk> Honestly, I had to join to see why there were 1568 users here.
[11:08] <ripdisk> So, don't mind me.
[11:09] <Soul_Soup> Nobody in here?
[11:09] <susundberg> delac: don't know then, i thought there would have been some old user settings preventing it working it correctly, but if it doesnt work on new users then thats kind of bad. Anyway it has to be options or some permissions if it works on some users
[11:09] <susundberg> Soul_Soup: sure, hi.
[11:10] <susundberg> Soul_Soup: ask on public channel, not on private chat.
[11:12] <delac> susundberg: I think I might have gues the reason. I'm using the another desktop with user switcher and there is this pulseaudio bug that prevents other users from gaining audio. That must be setting totem off.

[11:34] <Arash> anybody there ?
[11:34] <rotham> just so i understand what that command does.. {} is filled with each file name that matches either -type d or -type f ?

[11:58] <i42n> Hey guys! I have a problem with my NFS share. If I try to copy a large file (> 200MB) from the server I get strange bandwith drops. First 10s off transfer are very fast. Then the speed drops to about 1/100 of the start speed. Any suggestions what's going wrong?
[12:02] <i42n> While copying data I see this: pu(s):  2.2 us,  0.5 sy,  0.0 ni, 48.3 id, 49.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st

[12:09] <New2Ubuntuu> its a dlink dwr-510
[12:10] <prova21> Usually, the tel.providers who sell you the key, also give the drivers

[12:32] <natrixnatrix89> hi guys.. how do I use a custom command in "open with" dialog? Previously it was easy, because you could just enter a command.. now it's not possible..
[12:32] <natrixnatrix89> Or if that's not possible - How do I add a program to the list of programs that appear in the "open with" dialog?

[12:33] <thirstythroat> Hi, everyone. i was told to  test connectivity via SSH to a MySQL database. what's the first thing i must do?
[12:33] <thirstythroat> do i download a program?
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  you need openssh-client
[12:34] <natrixnatrix89> MonkeyDust: no.. but that doesn't allow me to enter a custom command..
[12:34] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: ok. i have it installed. what must i do next?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  are you familiar with ssh?
[12:35] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: just that it's some secure tunnel for running command remotely?
[12:35] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: i don't know much about ssh. not really
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> ok, basically, the syntax is    ssh remote user@ remote ip
[12:36] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: do i use the same credentials as my FTP?
[12:36] <dcullen> MonkeyDust: It might be less confusing to say ssh <remote user>@<remote hose>
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  so   sshh bob@1.2.3.123
[12:36] <dcullen> MonkeyDust: ARGH! It might be less confusing to say ssh <remote user>@<remote host>
[12:36] <magpie> having probs with smplayer when watching videos, same thing happens with vlc now, it just freezes  (pause) on itself during play and i have to move it forward or backwards in order to continue playing until the next pause pops up

[12:37] <MonkeyDust> dcullen  what you say sounds more confusing to me
[12:37] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: dcullen  i've enabled SSH with my WebHost, GoDaddy. but i  don't know my remote ip
[12:37] <magpie> dcullen how do i check that?
[12:37] <BluesKaj> magpie, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[12:38] <dcullen> magpie: less /var/log/dmesg

[12:38] <bergs_teiger> how can i install other theme in 12.04
[12:38] <dcullen> magpie: You can use the arrow keys and page up and page down to navigate. You can search by pressing / and typing your search term
[12:38] <dcullen> bbiab
[12:39] <BluesKaj> magpie, got the recommended driver for your graphics card ?
[12:39] <magpie> Blueskaj yes mates, the one recommended from additional drivers
[12:40] <magpie> dcullen what am i looking at in var/log/dmesg ?
[12:40] <BluesKaj> ok magpie , I had to ask :)
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  does the remote have a keyboard and screen?
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> remote pc*
[12:41] <magpie> Blueskaj the thing is i tried different audio and video output but it just keeps happening. Lately it started with VLC though i never experienced it before with it
[12:41] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: i don't know whether remote has keyboard and screen. i was told to use SSH to verify a MYSQL database that i set up on my GoDaddy host
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  do you know someone wo has access to the remote pc?
[12:42] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: i'm a real rookie
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> who*
[12:43] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: it's not a remote pc. it's my GoDaddy-hosted website or something
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> thirstythroat  i'm not familiar with godaddy, maybe someone else has better advice
[12:44] <thirstythroat> MonkeyDust: ok. getting help from someone on skype
[12:44] <thirstythroat> thanks.
[12:45] <anev> when i boot into the ubuntu install, only half the screen is coming up
[12:45] <digit_> help ! i have nvidia geforce 9400m and it sucks !!! i can't see a high definition video on youtube fullscreen it looses way too many frames !!
[12:45] <anev> is there a quick fix for that?
[12:45] <digit_> Linux sucks in graphics card support
[12:45] <digit_> help ! i have nvidia geforce 9400m and it sucks on ubuntu !!! i can't see a high definition video on youtube fullscreen it looses way too many frames !!
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> digit_  nvidia does not really like linux, so they are to blame
[12:46] <sutterCane> install the driver with packagemanagement
[12:46] <digit_> 9400 on windows and mac osx is fine but on ubuntu no frames
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> !nvidia| digit_
[12:46] <digit_> What can i do ! the only solution is to format ?
[12:46] <sutterCane> sounds like you need to install the driver. use the package management (synaptics in ubuntu?)
[12:50] <hemangpatel> is there any sftp client for ubuntu ?
[12:52] <Pici> hemangpatel: are you looking for a gui or cli client?
[12:52] <dcullen> hemangpatel: lsh-client: /usr/bin/lsftp or putty-tools: /usr/bin/psftp
[12:53] <bergs_teiger> wtf! ubuntu is getting harder and harder to customize
[12:53] <dcullen> hemangpatel: apt-file search is your friend
[12:54] <hemangpatel> i need gui client
[12:54] <Pici> dcullen: that doesn't really help for sftp clients that don't have sftp in their names.
[12:54] <Pici> hemangpatel: filezilla is a popular one.
[12:54] <dcullen> Pici: it's better than nothing
[12:54] <dcullen> Pici: ...which seems to be where he started
[12:54] <Pici> dcullen: right, just saying :)
[12:55] <aladdini> #sudan
[12:55] <TBarth> bergs_teiger, Ubuntu is for people who don't get familiar with Linux :-)
[12:55] <dcullen> Pici: And Google would be a much more efficient way to search for an sftp client with a GUI
[12:56] <dcullen> bergs_teiger: If you want customization, have a look at Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu, but is easier to customize.
[12:56] <bergs_teiger> what i dont want in ubuntu is that it's hard to customize easily the way i want it
[12:57] <dcullen> bergs_teiger: You could also try Debian Wheezy, it's the cutting edge Debian, so it will have a lot of the latest packages, but they don't use Unity
[12:58] <dcullen> bergs_teiger: What you don't want to do is come to the #ubuntu channel and complain about Ubuntu
[12:58] <Pici> bergs_teiger, dcullen: you don't need to use Unity on Ubuntu. Theres no reason to need to switch to a different distro to change the desktop environment.
[12:58] <TBarth> bergsteiger, are you german mountain climber? ;)

[13:00] <dcullen> Pici: I've followed all the how-tos on switching to gnome-shell and all of that, and I didn't like it. The Linux Mint Maya and Cinnamon are much better.
[13:00] <LjL> hacker: this channel only supports Ubuntu though.
[13:00] <hacker> but bt4 is based on ununtu
[13:00] <LjL> still not supported
[13:00] <bergs_teiger> one last thing, how can i place the windows buttons to the right?
[13:00] <aladdini> yeah it's about ubuntu
[13:00] <hacker> well i am connected to the server so way
[13:00] <dcullen> o.O
[13:01] <aladdini> use ubuntu tweak <bergs_teiger>
[13:01] <hacker> ?
[13:01] <hacker> bye
[13:01] <Pici> hacker: #backtrack-linux is on this irc server.
[13:01] <serverqg> hi
[13:02] <hacker> i know
[13:02] <bergs_teiger> damn, it's already on my face but didn't see it LOL
[13:02] <dcullen> hacker: so ask there
[13:02] <hacker> i am running backtrack 4

[13:04] <LjL> serverqg: what is that supposed to mean?
[13:04] <Sidewinder1> Heh,.
[13:05] <serverqg> I have a script for show speed internet, more no functional still
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <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
[13:09] <papa> http://pastebin.com/9kVUKeKw
[13:09] <dcullen> Jeepers, I forgot about irssi, LjL
[13:09] <papa> pls tell me more about my hard disk
[13:09] <papa> smartmontools
[13:10] <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] <papa> is my hdd  time up :P
[13:11] <spaceninja> LjL: thanks
[13:13] <papa> any good linux disk utility to get more info about hard disk ?
[13:13] <iceroot> papa: hdparm
[13:13] <papa> is it in repos
[13:14] <iceroot> papa: yes
[13:14] <papa> can it fix errors ?? :
[13:14] <iceroot> papa: no
[13:14] <iceroot> papa: hardware errors or filesystem errors?
[13:14] <auronandace> papa: software won't be able to fix hardware errors
[13:14] <papa> umm
[13:15] <papa> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
[13:15] <iceroot> papa: if it is a hardware error, buy a new hdd and use your backup
[13:15] <spaceninja> !minimal
[13:16] <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?
[13:17] <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.
[13:18] <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
[13:19] <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?
[13:20] <dcullen> aladdini1: What command do you want to run?
[13:20] <papa> dropbox vs ubuntu one ?
[13:20] <Pici> !best
[13:20] <auronandace> papa: don't take polls
[13:21] <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
[13:22] <papa> is cloud storage safe ?
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> aladdini1  you can do that in a different terminal screen
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <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] <papa> 1mbps
[13:24] <sutterCane> papa: depends on you download speed
[13:24] <zaqxsw34> Nvidia FX 5200  with Nouveau crash system every time

[13:24] <MonkeyDust> ls
[13:24] <iceroot> papa: its up to you to do the calculation how long it will take
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> oops
[13:24] <tensorpudding> with 1 mbps, it'd probably take hours
[13:24] <papa> lol

[13:25] <papa> ppa
[13:25] <auronandace> l3d: 10.10 is no loger supported
[13:25] <iceroot> !eol | l3d
[13:25] <dcullen> l3d: You can build it from sources
[13:26] <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] <sutterCane> alikum assalam
[13:26] <tensorpudding> but you should stop using 10.10 and upgrade
[13:27] <aladdini1> wa alekom alsalm sakera:
[13:27] <dcullen> l3d: You can use "apt-get build-dep" to install the build dependencies
[13:28] <L3top> bug 668828
[13:28] <L3top> hmm... thats not it... and he left.
[13:28] <gaelfx> why is that bug medium priority?
[13:30] <dcullen> aladdini1: You'll probably have to use hijinks to download the source deb for gimp 2.8
[13:31] <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
[13:32] <ripthejacker> it says N,2
[13:32] <Pici> !runlevels
[13:32] <dcullen> ripthejacker: so there you have it: runlevel 2
[13:32] <ripthejacker> dcullen, i want the program to start before login
[13:33] <ripthejacker> dcullen, and how do i make sure all the dependent programs are running like jvm and bluetooth
[13:33] <iceroot> !boot | ripthejacker
[13:34] <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
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <dcullen> ikonia: I suggest you look in /etc/rc2.d and tell me what you see
[13:36] <auronandace> !wfm | dcullen
[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
[13:37] <dcullen> ikonia: You'll still get the ordering you need, and it will be easier than learning upstart
[13:38] <CM-Pizarro> Hi all
[13:38] <aladdini> hi CM-Pizarro
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <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.
[13:43] <aladdini> I want to make a link to directory?
[13:45] <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?
[13:46] <dcullen> aladdini: e.g. man -k link
[13:46] <prova21> j
[13:47] <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?
[13:48] <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 ?
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <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.
[13:52] <dcullen> ripthejacker: Tell me about it
[13:53] <ripthejacker> why isnt it placed in the sensible /boot folder? o.O
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <ripthejacker> !conf
[13:55] <dcullen> What does JOB="${INITSCRIPT%.sh}" do?  For example, if INITSCRIPT is resolvconf, does JOB get set to resolvconf.sh?
[13:55] <iceroot> !filesystem | ripthejacker
[13:56] <iceroot> dcullen: #bash
[13:56] <rafaelsoaresbr> hello guys, what's the advatages of UFI? Is it better to use EFI instead of BIOS?
[13:56] <iceroot> dcullen: but the output should go to JOB
[13:56] <L3top> dcullen: place script in /etc/init.d   update-rc.d myscript defaults   will add it to the runlevels and order it based on the script name. To remove update-rc.d -lf myscript remove
[13:56] <L3top> er... ripthejacker^
[13:56] <compdoc> rafaelsoaresbr, it allows you to boot drives larger than 2.2 TB
[13:57] <dcullen> L3top: Wait, what? The order is based on script name?
[13:57] <L3top> ripthejacker: look at other scripts in /etc/init.d for header info as to prerequisite starts etc to avoid race condition
[13:57] <ripthejacker> L3top, yes i  saw that. But where do i see if the modules i need are loaded before my script?
[13:58] <L3top> dcullen: eg s90astart will run before s90dostart and based on prerequisite loads will wait or run.
[13:58] <rafaelsoaresbr> compdoc: I do not have a drive larger than 2,2TiB, should I use UFI anyway? Is it faster?
[13:58] <L3top> ripthejacker: again, look at headers that are already there to see how to not allow runs until various services have started
[13:59] <dcullen> ah, so JOB=${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
[14:00] <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?
[14:01] <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)
[14:02] <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.
[14:03] <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
[14:04] <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] <dcullen> ripthejacker: right
[14:04] <L3top> nbubuntu: aticonfig --initial will probably create what you want... but you can write directly to xrandr...

[14:07] <delac> if icon set has no explicit inheritance, does it inherit some icon set on default?
[14:08] <nbubuntu> L3top: any reason ? I just wanted to customize it to a desire resolution
[14:08] <L3top> nbubuntu: I understand the frustration... but I will get thwapped giving support in the support channel for an unsupported distro.
[14:08] <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] <zlude> Someone can help me? http://snipurl.com/24dq08n ( It's a URL to Git Hub Gist | TXT )
[14:08] <dcullen> ripthejacker: Those are disabled services
[14:09] <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] <TheWhiteHatter> L3top: how's it going
[14:09] <L3top> ripthejacker: hense the update-rc.d commands.
[14:09] <dcullen> ripthejacker: Will your monitor even support a crazy resolution like 1680x920?
[14:10] <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] <nbubuntu> L3top: what about refresh rate to 75hz ? mine currently on vga is 60hz
[14:10] <ripthejacker> *do/o
[14:10] <dcullen> ripthejacker: Sorry, wrong nick
[14:10] <Jural> Hello, I'm having some issues with my laptop. Anyone have the time to help?
[14:10] <dcullen> nbubuntu: Will your monitor even support a crazy resolution like 1680x920
[14:10] <L3top> nbubuntu: man xrandr
[14:10] <tauchris> Simpler question: how does Nautilus decide what to show under "Devices"?
[14:10] <auronandace> nbubuntu: stop asking, use a supported version
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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] <ripthejacker> dcullen, yes i have
[14:13] <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??
[14:14] <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] <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?
[14:15] <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.
[14:16] <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.
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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] <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] <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
[14:20] <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..
[14:21] <dcullen> burckley: this channel keeps a log I believe
[14:21] <Pici> !1984
[14:21] <L3top> lol @ factoid
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> fbernier  if you should fresh install, consider creating a separate /home partition
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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] <ripthejacker> dcullen, thanks a lot . see ya if it works
[14:23] <dcullen> ripthejacker: Adios
[14:24] <dcullen> burckley: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/07/19/%23ubuntu.txt
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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.
[14:27] <DarkAceLaptop> zykotick9, normally I could browse the files of a DVD...
[14:28] <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.
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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?
[14:31] <L3top> Or are you trying to do something weird with mounting DarkAceLaptop?
[14:31] <DarkAceLaptop> Basically, if the DVD is located at /dev/dvd

[14:32] <L3top> dhanasekaran: probably... but I would need a clearer question.
[14:33] <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] <L3top> It should play, on the already mounted device... yes.
[14:33] <dhanasekaran> L3top, I am trying to do pxebased network installation, using preseed file, I want configure local repository for ubuntu
[14:34] <dhanasekaran> L3top, this my config. file http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101892/
[14:34] <dhanasekaran> L3top, please guide me..ubuntu-installer with local repo.
[14:35] <L3top> dhanasekaran: I don't know how terribly helpful I will be... I use pxe very differently. Perhaps dcullen can be of some assistance.
[14:36] <nannes> Oh, ****
[14:37] <nannes> WHY THE HELL  #OPENBOX CHANNEL REQUIRES INVITE TO ENTER
[14:37] <dcullen> ok, LjL, I read about upstart jobs and I would have to write one before helping someone else write one. I guess I'll be writing one in the near future.
[14:37] <zykotick9> !register | nannes
[14:37] <nannes> zykotick9: I am registered :S
[14:37] <Pici> nannes: Mind the caps, and how should we know. This is #ubuntu
[14:37] <dcullen> nannes: mebbe OpenBox is not so open?
[14:37] <dhanasekaran> dcullen, can you me.. regarding I am trying to do pxebased network installation, using preseed file, I want configure local repository for ubuntu
[14:38] <zykotick9> nannes: you're right - sorry.
[14:38] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: i don't have any experience with PXE boot
[14:38] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: your best hope is to google for a solution
[14:38] <nannes> dcullen: The same thinking I had. But it's open :S
[14:38] <nannes> Isn't there someone who can invite me there? :'(
[14:38] <L3top> sorry to throw you under the bus there dcullen... I misunderstood something clearly.
[14:38] <Pici> nannes: We do not maange that channel. If you need network help, there is #freenode
[14:39] <L3top> dhanasekaran: what guide are you following now to get to this point?
[14:39] <dcullen> lol @ #openbox
[14:39] <dcullen> L3top: no problem. it was only a virtual bus, and i'm only in a virtual hospital, i should be out in virtually no time
[14:40] <dcullen> oof. tough crowd.
[14:40] <dhanasekaran> L3top, I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/install-tftp.html guide, But not possible to configure local repo.
[14:40] <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.
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <DarkAceLaptop> Galaxor, actually, I think so,
[14:43] <ThinkT510> DarkAceLaptop: haha, no worries :)
[14:43] <alda> sorry I started
[14:43] <alda> #backtrack-linux
[14:43] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: Will this article help you: http://techblog.glendaleacademy.org/?p=36
[14:43] <DarkAceLaptop> lemme look got a second.
[14:43] <DarkAceLaptop> ThinkT510, any way to take away that key? I'm not even in Unity xD
[14:44] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: That looks like it does Ed Zachary what you want
[14:44] <ThinkT510> DarkAceLaptop: not sure what you mean sorry, what desktop you using?
[14:45] <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] <aether> plain-person: You normal account probably isn't in the pulse group
[14:46] <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.
[14:47] <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.
[14:48] <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?
[14:49] <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?
[14:50] <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] <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
[14:51] <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
[14:52]  * 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] <dcullen> MA111: That's what I usually do
[14:53] <MA111> dcullen: sounds reasonable, I'll give that a try, thank you .
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I'm running ddrescue, it failed to do the output image file I specified maybe because I deleted it etc, I have a logfile of the bad hard drive, when I try to use the logfile to do the rescue again, it instantly completes what command do I need to do, to rescue the data all over again, utilizing the logfile?
[14:54]  * 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.
[14:55] <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"
[14:56] <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.
[14:57] <TheWhiteHatter> dcullen: I shall make a hoverpc
[14:57] <dcullen> TheWhiteHatter: Ideally, you should be able to ride around on your pc while you do stuff around the house
[14:58] <TheWhiteHatter> agreed
[14:58] <dcullen> TheWhiteHatter: I mean, that's what we do here at work
[14:58] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I'm running ddrescue, it failed to do the output image file I specified maybe because I deleted it etc, I have a logfile of the bad hard drive, when I try to use the logfile to do the rescue again, it instantly completes what command do I need to do, to rescue the data all over again, utilizing the logfile?
[14:58] <TheWhiteHatter> dcullen: where do you work?

[15:00] <folmer> ThinkT510, I don't think it helped anything. I suspect the 2GB ram is killing it paired with a very slow HDD
[15:01] <plain-person> I am looking for an Ubuntu-Sensei willing to spare me 10 minutes to help me understand what's going on with my Ubuntu. Anyone? *flaps eye-lashes quickly*
[15:01] <ThinkT510> folmer: hmm, i got 2gb ram and unity2d runs rather well here

[15:02] <MASTERPIECE> help me
[15:02] <ThinkT510> folmer: if its still rather slow then i'd expect you'd get better performance from xfce (and maybe even better from lxde)

[15:03] <folmer> ThinkT510, that's what I thought. I just didn't want to go though the hassle of reinstalling for nothing
[15:03] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: same as yesterday... these things should stay in channel. What is the capture card?
[15:03] <MASTERPIECE> i     dont know
[15:03] <MASTERPIECE> :(
[15:03] <folmer> L3top, I'll try it immediately, thanks
[15:04] <MASTERPIECE> how    to see this
[15:04] <MASTERPIECE> what is my tv capture card
[15:04] <MASTERPIECE> ?
[15:04] <dcullen> plain-person: please keep your questions public so everyone can benefit
[15:04] <L3top> MASTERPIECE: stop with the sad faces etc. Please pastebin the output of lspci if it is a card in the machine, or lsusb if it is a usb capture card.

[15:07] <DarkAceLaptop> L3top, still trying to play my DVD
[15:07] <Walther> DarkAceLaptop: You might want to consider the following: lspci, lsusb, df -h
[15:07] <L3top> DarkAceLaptop: a little trick, if you select it in nautilus (with something in it) and press ctrl + L   it will display the path.

[15:09] <Jural> My laptop is overheating, I'm been through the forms and google results with no solution. Can anyone help?
[15:09] <jiffe98> is it possible to play bluray straight from disk via ubuntu yet?
[15:10] <plain-person> dcullen: I have been suggested to talk to you because my problem might be drivers-related. How is the normal procedure here, I just state my question or how?
[15:10] <dcullen> plain-person: yes, please, just state your question
[15:11] <Joelixny> L3top~ Are you back? Did you recieve my message last night?
[15:11] <aladdini> what is the command used to log out?
[15:11] <L3top> DarkAceLaptop: what does: eject /dev/dvd   do?
[15:11] <dcullen> aladdini: To log out of X?
[15:11] <aladdini> yes
[15:12] <L3top> I am here Joelixny. I saw that something was afoot... did not see anything clearer
[15:12] <plain-person> dcullen: Well, I upgraded to 12.04 and my sound, wifi and touchpad werent working properly. I managed to get the wifi to work by forcing the network manager to restart in the console, but it seems very primitive to do that every time I start the computer, plus I would like to understand whats goin on and how to clear the mess a bit.
[15:13] <L3top> how did you upgrade plain-person and from what version?
[15:13] <delac> does totem player do something odd with the control icons?
[15:13] <DarkAceLaptop> L3top, eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[15:13] <dcullen> plain-person: First thing to do is copy the contents of /var/log/dmesg to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[15:13] <plain-person> I upgraded from the software center thingie that pops up with updates. I upgraded from Narwhal all the way to 12.04
[15:13] <L3top> DarkAceLaptop: eject /dev/sr0
[15:14] <dcullen> plain-person: Second thing is to paste the link you create here
[15:14] <plain-person> dcullen: OK, I will do that. Thanks for the guidance!
[15:14] <L3top> plain-person: does sudo aplay -l    return a result?
[15:16] <plain-person> dcullen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1101965/
[15:16] <Joelixny> L3top~ Well, after struggling trying to boot a bunch of times I think that the GPU is causing my SDD not to boot, for some reason. I booted without quiet and everytime it halted it showed a drive related error.
[15:17] <rafaelsoaresbr> !uefi > me
[15:17] <DarkAceLaptop> L3top, same error
[15:17] <rafaelsoaresbr> !efi > me
[15:18] <plain-person> L3top: I get two entries of HDA Intel (analog and digital)
[15:18] <L3top> rafaelsoaresbr: /msg ubottu !efi
[15:18] <dcullen> plain-person: I am reading the file, thanks
[15:19] <L3top> What isn't working plain-person?
[15:19] <rafaelsoaresbr> L3top: it don't know anything about efi or uefi :-D
[15:19] <gitesh> how do i know my processor?
[15:19] <gitesh> command?
[15:19] <Pici> gitesh: lscpu
[15:19] <gitesh> lscpu
[15:19] <gitesh> sorry
[15:20] <plain-person> dcullen: Well, thanks a lot to you. I probably should say that I am currently logged in on a new user account I created. If I log in with the normal one, I have no sound, no wifi and the touchpad stops working after 20 seconds. So I created a new account and both sounds and touchpad seem to work (I have to restart nm to get wifi)
[15:20] <gitesh> Thanks, Pici
[15:20] <L3top> gitesh: cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you more than you ever wanted to know.
[15:21] <fuzzyghost> Hello
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> or sudo dmidecode -t processor
[15:21] <gitesh> yeah, that's what i wanted. thanks L3top
[15:22] <dcullen> plain-person: Your touch pad appears to be recognized and working: [   34.600373] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8
[15:22] <fuzzyghost> Would anyone happen to know a good guide on modifying a theme?  I'm trying to adjust the colors so that I can get the DE exactly how I want it.
[15:22] <dcullen> plain-person: What do you mean "the normal one"?
[15:23] <L3top> didn't know that one MonkeyDust... thanks... more to explore.
[15:23] <L3top> plain-person: when you open alsamixer... which is selected by default? (press f6 to see options)
[15:23] <plain-person> dcullen: Until today, I have only used an admin user account with my laptop. Seeing that things didn't work anymore in that profile, and reading people suggesting so in some forums, I created a second account (this one) to be able to connect to internet, understand whats going on, etc.
[15:24] <fuzzyghost> Heya
[15:24] <plain-person> L3top: It appears (- default, and 0 HDA Intel)
[15:25] <dcullen> plain-person: What was the user name of the admin user?
[15:25] <L3top> nm then plain-person. I thought from your explanation that it was recognized as a separate digital card, not just device.
[15:25] <delac> does anyone happend to know if totem contains some code that tries to make any icon set for it monochrome!?
[15:26] <plain-person> dcullen: Not really sure. Either diaz or kymmenen
[15:26] <fuzzyghost> I am being seen, right?
[15:26] <chu> fuzzyghost: Yep.
[15:26] <fuzzyghost> Okay, I've been to a few channels where they wouldn't even talk to me.
[15:26] <dcullen> plain-person: You're not sure? Can you tell us what you get when you run "groups"?
[15:27] <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.
[15:28] <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?
[15:29] <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.
[15:30] <storyteller> dropping to initramfs shell while booting, error says, /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx does not exist but blkid shows / installed on the same disk as in /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx
[15:30] <fuzzyghost> I'm assuming that a Gnome-Classic Session Theme can be edited with CSS, and the files for the theme would be found under /usr/share/themes/[theme name here]/gtk-3.0, right?
[15:30] <dcullen_> Jeepers, got booted
[15:31] <plain-person> L3top: Sorry, L3top, I don't really understand your question.
[15:32] <fuzzyghost> BRB
[15:32] <L3top> how are you connected to what audio producing thing plain-person? Eg... I have an hdmi cable connected from my motherboard to my TV... or I have a pair of speakers plugged into an analog connection... or I have an optical spdif cable going from my mobo to my amp...
[15:32] <dcullen_> plain-person: Did you say anything I might have missed while I was booted?
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <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!
[15:35] <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?/
[15:36] <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.
[15:37] <ki4ro_> .
[15:37] <dcullen_> plain-person: That shouldn't normally be possible due to the way headphone jack hardware works
[15:37]  * L3top bets pulse is at the root of at least some of this.
[15:38] <dcullen_> L3top: Does pulse include jack?
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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] <ripthejacker> !boot
[15:41] <dcullen_> plain-person: can you plug in a USB or PS/2 mouse?
[15:41] <fuzzyghost> Hold on, I got a desktop notification from you, but I couldn't read it all.
[15:41] <L3top> plain-person: I am just curious if there is output at all... dont need it. If there is, I would expect it is the same.
[15:41] <fuzzyghost> Oh, there it is.
[15:41] <fuzzyghost> That is okay.
[15:41] <deav> does anyone know when PHP 5.4 will become mainstream in Ubuntu?
[15:41] <Joelixny> L3top~ Did you get any of my previous messages?
 L3top~ Well, after struggling trying to boot a bunch of times I think that the GPU is causing my SDD not to boot, for some reason. I booted without quiet and everytime it halted it showed a drive related error.       is the last I got.
[15:42] <Joelixny> L3top~ Did you reply to that? I had to restart my computer and couldn't see a reply.
[15:43] <plain-person> dcullen_: I have no external mouse with me, but I will try to use keyboard or something. I will be back. And btw, thanks a lot for your help, I was feeling a bit anxious about this.
[15:43] <storyteller> dropping to initramfs shell while booting, error says, /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx does not exist but blkid shows system is installed on the same disk as shown in /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx
[15:45] <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.
[15:45] <dcullen_> plain-person: Take a few deep breaths and visualize yourself in a grassy field in a wooded glade (or whatever helps you relax)
[15:45] <L3top> Joelixny: I assume fsck completed without issue?
[15:46] <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.
[15:47] <L3top> Are there bears? I don't think bears are relaxing at all. What about snakes? I find them hard to identify.
[15:47] <lattera> how do I install a new theme for unity in 12.04?
[15:47] <dcullen_> Joelixny: Can you add rootdelay=3 (or whatever number makes sense) to your kernel command line arguments? http://oreilly.com/linux/excerpts/9780596100797/kernel-boot-command-line-parameter-reference.html
[15:48] <Joelixny> dcullen_~ what is the units on rootdelay? I added rootdelay=4000 last time I booted and it worked, but I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not.
[15:49] <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] <dcullen_> Joelixny: That link says seconds, so I doubt you waited an hour
[15:49]  * plain-person closes her eyes and visualizes a green meadow and nice things and no chaos at all, but order and sense
[15:50] <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.
[15:51]  * L3top stops the offtopic banter
[15:51] <Joelixny> dcullen_~ I'll reboot and try again to see if that solves it or it was a coicidence, I'll report back soon.
[15:52] <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.
[15:54] <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?
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <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?
[15:57] <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.
[15:58] <L3top> alsa does not require pulse.
[15:58] <mariyan> L3top,
[15:58] <fuzzyghost> chu, as far as editing the files, for a Gnome Classic session, would I edit the CSS files in the gtk-3.0 folder, or the RC files in the gtk-2.0 folder?
[15:59] <mariyan> where  to download driver for bt878
[15:59] <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 :)
[16:00] <mariyan> L3top,     this is tv capture
[16:00] <denn> ciao a tutti
[16:00] <BluesKaj> pavuaudio=pavucontrol
[16:00] <fuzzyghost> Okay, thanks.
[16:00] <L3top> Nothing should go wrong, and it is a simple sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pvaucontrol
[16:00] <L3top> pavuaudio*
[16:00] <mariyan> L3top,  this is for me
[16:01] <mariyan> ??
[16:01] <plain-person> OH, I embrace myself and let go of pulseaudio then.
[16:01] <fuzzyghost> I do Google search, but I seem to get non-related links (like editing WordPress, Moodle, Windows XP, etc.)

[16:05] <myersg> yes a calendar program like for school
[16:05] <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. All I would suggest with this is just cracking them open and seeing how they do it. Not very helpful, I know.
[16:05] <BluesKaj> mariyan, tvtime should work
[16:06] <L3top> MrHashimoto: You will probably want to enable trim, and possibly run without swap... but thats about as far as i can advise.
[16:06] <chu> fuzzyghost: Here is the link anyway: http://jaysonrowe.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/quick-n-dirty-ubuntu-1204-gnome-classic.html

[16:09] <Joelixny> So, I tried with rootdelay=4000, and it worked, but then I tried again and nothing happened. I tried with rootdelay=10000 and I didn't wait for 10 seconds, so I think rootdelay is getting ignored or something.
[16:10] <mariyan> rramk   i  write this
[16:10] <mariyan> but dont have driver
[16:10] <mariyan> :(((((
[16:10] <L3top> Joelixny: or your units are beyond an accepted range... iw ould need to research rootdelay
[16:10] <ramkr> also follow the two links posted earlier
[16:10] <ramkr> it will install from the internet
[16:10] <thevoid> anyone know how i set, or make sure the character set is, "latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci" with phpmyadmin/mysql?
[16:10] <thevoid> i know its not a ubuntu question, but i figured you guys would be in the know
[16:10] <ramkr> assuming you are connected to the net ;-)
[16:10] <Joelixny> L3top~ I also tried bootdelay=10 and nothing changed
[16:11] <dcullen> Any way to force Unity-2D to be the default?
[16:11] <chris_____> Just bought new Toshiba Satellite S855D (AMD A10-4600M) for 12.04 but install freezes at some random point (varies from time to time). Memtest passes. Is AMD A10 CPU (or Toshiba Satellite) not supported? Do I now have an expensive doorstop?
[16:11] <xangua> dcullen: clic the ubuntu icon next to your username in the loguin screen
[16:11] <dcullen> xangua: I'm trying to avoid having to do that every login

[16:12] <xangua> dcullen: select unity 2d and it will be default, you don't have to do it everytime
[16:12] <myersg> or wireless
[16:13] <chris_____> yes I have wired internet cable, is that an issue?
[16:13] <myersg> no
[16:13] <ramkr> mariyan: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bttv_devices_(bt848,_bt878)
[16:13] <myersg> mine had the same problem when I was using wireless.I hade to use a cable to install
[16:13] <ramkr> mariyan: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/BTTV/
[16:13] <chris_____> I tried install with WiFi too but no better, still freezes
[16:15] <chris_____> Is there a way to install OS so I can see what is happening and see if something specific is failing?
[16:15] <fuzzyghost> Sorry, I was away, making food.  Thanks for the link, though, I am checking it out now.
[16:19] <dcullen_> Radio check?
[16:20] <TheWhiteHatter> Loud and clear dcullen
[16:22] <dcullen_> I think the IT guys are playing some shenanigans at my expense

[16:23] <mariyan> ehoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[16:24] <mariyan> have   some to  enter in my computer with teamviewer
[16:24] <mariyan> please
[16:24] <delinquentme> is there a solid ubuntu download manager?
[16:24] <ramkr> gwget , kget
[16:24] <ThinkT510> mariyan: what's wrong?
[16:25] <L3top> mariyan: we have been telling you for two days to keep your responses to one line... stop with the badgering of people to HELP NOW!!!!... and frown faces etc. You are prone not to follow instructions, you do not give details of errors. And you hit enter like it spits out money. I WILL NOT help you if you continue this.
[16:26] <ThinkT510> L3top: there is /ignore
[16:26] <L3top> keeps changing nics... and there are guidelines.
[16:27] <L3top> mariyan: lsmod | grep bt        does that return any results?
[16:28] <ThinkT510> !pm | mariyan
[16:28] <L3top> mariyan: please also pastebin the output of lspci
[16:28] <buki_> o
[16:29] <buki_> hi
[16:30] <L3top> Hi buki_, do you have a support question?
[16:31] <ScottHarrison> lol, torifying xchat was a hassle and a half... done now though
[16:31] <ThinkT510> !yay | ScottHarrison
[16:32] <ramkr> ScottHarrison: how so ? interested to know
[16:33] <ScottHarrison> ramkr, I wasn't familiar with the SASL authentication process and took me a long time to work it out
[16:33] <ScottHarrison> ramkr, finally worked out you have to create a network to link the SASL config to
[16:34] <MrHashimoto> !trim
[16:34] <ScottHarrison> anyway, when my govt brings in their new "spy on the public" laws, I won't be a victim
[16:35] <hp> hay
[16:35] <hp> hey
[16:35] <ramkr> danke, was thinking that using the tor bundle and chat from inside a browser would work too , or not ?
[16:35] <ScottHarrison> ramkr, I assume so but I don't find IRC in a browser to be anywhere near as convenient
[16:36] <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).
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <fortmac> but I just downloaded the .iso from ubuntu directly
[16:38] <fortmac> there should be no issue
[16:38] <ScottHarrison> kk one sec
[16:38] <ramkr> *Scott that is :-)
[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
[16:39] <fortmac> sidewinder: yes let me show you that error
[16:39] <L3top> ah... yes... no h/v sync refresh... I remember now Joelixny. Can I get a fresh xrandr -q  pastebin?
[16:39] <ScottHarrison> ramkr, http://blog.aizatto.com/2006/09/02/connecting-to-freenode-with-tor-using-xchat/
[16:40] <ramkr> thanks
[16:40] <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] <fortmac> sidewinder: the function 'Check the CD-ROM(s) integrity returns 'The./pool/main/s/sphinx/python-sphinx_1.1.3_dfsg-2ubuntu2_all.deb file failed the MD5 checksum verification.  YOur CD-ROM or this file may have been corrupted.' (excuse my tpos)
[16:41] <L3top> Joelixny: just on a lark... lets mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bu  and reboot while I try and figure this out.
[16:41] <fortmac> Sidewinder: yeah i'm starting to think I hsould be in #vmware
[16:41] <dupa123> how can i setup ip/gateway for tun0 from client side? because i fucked vpn on server side and i don't have access, because i got some random ips :/
[16:41] <bazhang> dupa123, no cursing here
[16:41] <bazhang> dupa123, this is debian you are running?
[16:42] <dupa123> ubuntu
[16:42] <chris_____> managed to get 12.04 to install without it freezing, but now it freezes (mouse pointer stops, progress bars stop, etc.) at some random time after boot, any ideas?
[16:42] <fortmac> Sidewinder1, well the MD5 is returning a completely different error than the regular installation
[16:42] <bazhang> dupa123, whats the output of lsb_release -a
[16:42] <dupa123> Linux Mint 13 Maya
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> ah
[16:43] <Joelixny> L3top~ I'm using my old xorg.conf, I get low resolution and panning screen in it. The one you gave me last night doesn't work at all. I have both backed up already. Do I still reboot?
[16:43] <bazhang> dupa123, mint is offtopic here
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[16:43] <dupa123> 3/4 apt source is ubuntu :(
[16:43] <dupa123> and this is just normal question
[16:43] <dupa123> on every linux
[16:43] <L3top> Joelixny: I want you to reboot with NO active xorg.conf
[16:43] <dupa123> can you help me?
[16:43] <bazhang> dupa123, its not supported here so dont ask
[16:43] <dupa123> i need just set ip and gateway and dunno how get working gateway for interface
[16:43] <dupa123> because noone work
[16:43] <LjL> dupa123: well if it's a question for every linux then you might as well ask in ##linux. here is for Ubuntu support specifically
[16:43] <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.
[16:44] <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] <fortmac> Sidewinder, thanks for the help though
[16:45] <Sidewinder1> fortmac, Good luck. :)
[16:45] <fuzzyghost> Got to log out, gnome-panel went away.
[16:46] <Joelixny> L3top~ This is what xrandr -q gives me now http://pastebin.com/U5hCVdXv
[16:46] <ramkr> fortmac: how did you write to the cd, any chance of an error there
[16:46] <fortmac> ramkr, nah i'm using the .iso file from ubuntu with no changes
[16:47] <ramkr> oh, have you tested it ? live ?
[16:47] <ramkr> i too had some errors had to download thrise, but it seems the error was in unetbootin
[16:48] <ramkr> &thrice
[16:48] <ramkr> *thrice i mean
[16:48] <L3top> Ok Joelixny. cvt 1920 1080 50
[16:48] <L3top> just need the modeline.
[16:50] <Joelixny> L3top~ Modeline "1920x1080_50.00"  141.50  1920 2032 2232 2544  1080 1083 1088 1114 -hsync +vsync
[16:52] <Phibs> anyone using cobbler to deploy 12.04 ?
[16:52] <Phibs> I'm having issues where it won't read my preseed file
[16:52] <kyle__> For those running labs of ubuntu boxes, with 12.04 is it more streightforward to authenticate off of LDAP or a samba PDC?  In my case all user-files are shared via samba, for various reasons.  I have no physical windows boxes (nor do I intend to)
[16:52] <peugi> I keep getting this error that pops up "there was an error" and "would you like to submit an error report"
[16:53] <peugi> but I don't notice anything wrong, any way to turn it off?
[16:53] <semarjt> hey guys I am on a fresh 12.04 install, i tried adding an nvidia card, it didnt work so i removed xorg.conf and removed nvidia-current, now i am back to the integrated card, problem is now my original user cannot log in graphically, i logged in as them on the console and created a new user that can login graphically
[16:54] <semarjt> is there a way to be able to log in graphically as my original user?
[16:54] <L3top> Joelixny: you shouldn't need sudo. Just drop these into term. http://pastebin.com/Uxz14Mtc
[16:54] <kyle__> Phibs: Tried, but after too much banging my head against the wall, I switched over to PXE boot install with a kickstart file.
[16:54] <kyle__> Phibs: What's the exact error?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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] <beandog> yes
[16:55] <semarjt> original user has joel adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[16:55] <semarjt> old user has just their username group
[16:55] <semarjt> err new user
[16:56] <semarjt> just has testuser as group
[16:56] <tty01> anyone know what the "s" bit is for when listing a directory? drwsrwSrw
[16:56] <kyle__> Phibs: Um.  check your pxe config.  It should be making it for you IIRC cobbler right, but check it.  Make sure it's pointing to the right presseed.
[16:56] <Joelixny> L3top~ http://pastebin.com/
[16:56] <Phibs> kyle__: ok
[16:56] <beandog> semarjt: hmm, dunno then
[16:56] <semarjt> when i try and login graphically as the original user it flashes to the console and back to the login screen
[16:57] <L3top> Joelixny ? did that change your resolution? (that is just a link to pastebin btw)
[16:57] <Joelixny> L3top~ That pastebin is the errors I got. Also I think the Nvidia driver is not being used.
[16:57] <Phibs>         append initrd=/images/Ubuntu-12.4-x86_64/initrd.gz  locale=  text  auto url=http://10.125.140.25/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ubuntu.test hostname=ubuntu domain=test suite=generic26
[16:57] <giedrius> hi
[16:57] <L3top> Joelixny: it is just pastebin.com... there is no extention
[16:58] <Joelixny> L3top~ Oh, silly me... Forgot to submit. http://pastebin.com/2m9TYJcg
[16:59] <giedrius> #archlinux
[16:59] <L3top> Ok... that would be correct... you are not using nvidia driver... apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed
[16:59] <L3top> wait
[16:59] <L3top> Joelixny: apt-cache policy nvidia-current-updates | grep Installed
[16:59] <Phibs> kyle__: how do you do it?
[17:00] <Phibs> kyle__: i'm not attached to any method, just need cobbler + pxe installs of ubuntu
[17:00] <Joelixny> L3top~ No output
[17:00] <L3top> capital i
[17:00] <Joelixny> whoops
[17:01] <Joelixny> L3top~   Installed: 295.49-0ubuntu0.1
[17:01] <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.
[17:02] <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] <L3top> sorry... yes... that ouput is?
[17:03] <Joelixny> L3top~ 	Kernel modules: nvidia_current_updates, nouveau, nvidiafb
[17:03] <Phibs> kyle__: got any docs ?
[17:03] <L3top> derp. lsmod | grep current   Joelixny
[17:03] <kyle__> Phibs: Trying to remember where I found them... HOldon.
[17:04] <Joelixny> L3top~ No output. No output for nvi or nou either
[17:05] <L3top> umm... ok. grep -r nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/*
[17:05] <igor__> Hello all
[17:05] <joel135> igor__: hello, what's your question?
[17:05]  * kyle__ faceplams
[17:05] <Joelixny> L3top~ derp... bumblebee is blacklisting nvidia-current-updates
[17:05] <kyle__> Phibs: They're in the obvious place Doh!  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[17:06] <L3top> Joelixny: :) hash that... and we have purged the bumblebeees right?
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <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*
[17:08] <Joelixny> L3top~ hashed, and purged
[17:09] <igor__> joel135, that's not the issue if i cd to boot folder and then ls
[17:09] <L3top> Joelixny: Lets reboot, make sure that hash hung, and I will take the output of xrandr -r again
[17:09] <igor__> there is no loader.conf files in it :(

[17:12] <igor__> i'll try
[17:12] <Jarrydx26> Lol Praxi just kidding :)
[17:12] <L3top> afk for a second Joelixny
[17:12] <EMIS> In VLC I tried to skip H264
[17:12] <Joelixny> L3top Okay
[17:12] <kyle__> http://paste.lisp.org/+2SS3
[17:12] <EMIS> but play slowly
[17:12] <kyle__> Much better
[17:13] <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?
[17:14] <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?
[17:15] <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> i need a video editor because i want to extract a picture from it
[17:15] <BobMarley> from a video
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> BobMarley  the ones i mentioned are free
[17:16] <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)
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <prashant_123456> alt + tab not working in ubuntu 12.04 no compiz config
[17:19] <joel135> BobMarley: Totem -> Edit -> Take Screenshot
[17:20] <BobMarley> joel135, thanks
[17:24] <L3top> had to feed the gremlins Joelixny... sorry. Please revert to my "broken" xorg.conf now and see if it is still broken.
[17:26] <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?
[17:27] <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] <beandog> EMIS: bluray?
[17:27] <L3top> Oh that makes things a whole lot easier Joelixny.
[17:27] <EMIS> Yes, bluray

[17:31] <IdleOne> if you know why do it?
[17:31] <Karou> also
[17:32] <Karou> my desktop keeps crashing the two of them
[17:32] <Raydiation> IdleOne: channel is already exploding because so many people are in here
[17:32] <beandog> EMIS: oh sorry, -identify
[17:32] <BluesKaj> EMIS, have you tried VLC , it plays most hidef files
[17:32] <L3top> Joelixny: I could also use a fresh xrandr -q     sorry.
[17:33] <EMIS> Yes I tried VLC but hangs up!
[17:33] <EMIS> let's try with mplayer...
[17:33] <beandog> what version of ubuntu are you on
[17:33] <Joelixny> L3top~ http://pastebin.com/fPadxzBg
[17:35] <MaynardW1ters> hello, I have 11.04 that I am using as a server, and something is filling up my root file system, can someone give me an idea how to isolte this problem
[17:35] <Phibs> kyle__: found a bug, its reading the preseed file now but asking for cdrom :(
[17:36] <exarkun> MaynardW1ters: baobab
[17:36] <L3top> Joelixny: try this one, revert to your other if it does not work as expected  http://pastebin.com/UJwF7LgT
[17:36] <IdleOne> MaynardW1ters: probably logs, you may want to take a look at logrotate and delete some older logs
[17:37] <EMIS> It worked... thanks <beandog> and <kyle__>
[17:37] <kselltrum> exist or not somewhere a linux program, which could, like software video mixer, switch video sources in real time?
[17:37] <EMIS> just used: mplayer <filename.MTS>
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> MaynardW1ters  type this command in a terminal, replace 1G by 500M or so if you prefer       find / -size +1G -exec ls -l {} \;
[17:38] <delinquentme> how do I run a md5sum on my disk drive?
[17:38] <MaynardW1ters> MonkeyDust: one of my problems is that I have  8TB raid drive with aa great many files over 5 gig
[17:39] <MaynardW1ters> but i need to specifically look in just teh root area, without checking the external hds and that raid drive
[17:39] <cristofer6891> Does anyone know how to set up a TFTP server in ubuntu 12.04?
[17:40] <nbubuntu> hi anyone can help me out to change my display resolution to 1600x900 ? http://pastebin.com/r8rf6sti . The the Monitor , it doesn't have that resolution.
[17:41] <dcullen> cristofer6891: Install tftpd-hpa
[17:41] <kyle__> Phibs: Did you put the --url line in your kickstart file?
[17:41] <L3top> nbubuntu: xrandr -q
[17:41] <nbubuntu> what line should I add in ? using ati driver
[17:41] <dcullen> cristofer6891: Put your files in /var/lib/tftpboot
[17:41] <L3top> nbubuntu: please pastebin
[17:41] <Phibs> kyle__: its in the pxe file
[17:41] <kyle__> Phibs: In my case a server called pertwee.  url --url http://pertwee.cs.roosevelt.edu/ubuntu
[17:41] <Phibs> I got preseed to boot now
[17:42] <kyle__> Phibs: IIRC it needs to be in the kickstart file.  The path to the kis file is in th pxe file, the path to the ubuntu packages is in the ks file.
[17:42] <nbubuntu> L3top: http://pastebin.com/qnZMPysL
[17:42] <Phibs> hmm
[17:42] <nbubuntu> L3top: I tried on my other OS , my monitor does support
[17:42] <Phibs> url= in my pxe is the path to the preseed file
[17:42] <nbubuntu> L3top: I tried on my other OS window 7 , my monitor does support
[17:43] <nbubuntu> L3top: but at ubuntu it doesn't show up
[17:43] <kyle__> Phibs: There should be a kickstart line in there too.. holdon
[17:43] <nbubuntu> L3top: now I am using 1440x900 , just wanted to make ut 1600x900 since i am using 16:9 HD widescreen 23 inch monitor .
[17:43] <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?
[17:44] <Phibs> kyle__: not using kickstart...
[17:44] <Phibs> just plain cobbler + preseed
[17:44] <L3top> nbubuntu: cvt 1600 900 60
[17:44] <kyle__> Phibs: OK.  I used a kickstart file + a stock preseed.  Not sure how to modify the preseed file because I've never done it.
[17:44] <kyle__> Phibs: There should be somewhere in tehre to tell it where the repo is.
[17:45] <L3top> Joelixny: nothing is a strong word... but as it is rolling now... I don't wanna fool with it lol.
[17:45] <Phibs> kyle__: yeah... good pt
[17:45] <L3top> Joelixny: it is very possible that you can specify in grub.
[17:45] <nbubuntu> L3top : done http://pastebin.com/8y4upk5w and ?
[17:46] <Joelixny> L3top~ I saw some tutorials that said you could, but 1920x1080 is not listed in the available modes
[17:48] <L3top> Joelixny: it doesnt need to be that resolution to be the right resoltuion for non X
[17:49] <L3top> nbubuntu: http://pastebin.com/9Yaw0rhk      do that and tell me if it changes your screeen and looks right
[17:50] <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] <oldwzd> nbubuntu: what is your screens native resolution?
[17:50] <L3top> change default to CRT1
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <L3top> again Joelixny I would experiment with grub in the sub 2048 ranges according to the various guides you will find.
[17:52] <nbubuntu> L3top: it works but i get a lot of banding line
[17:52] <L3top> turn it off
[17:52] <L3top> reboot the machine.
[17:52] <L3top> bad modlines CAN damage the monitor
[17:53] <beandog> really?
[17:53] <dcullen007> nbubuntu: Is this a CRT or an LCD flat panel?
[17:53] <L3top> si
[17:53] <beandog> bueno
[17:53] <L3top> Those changes will not be preserved
[17:54] <ert3go> Hello , I wanted to install gdbi-core but I get this messages :
[17:54] <ert3go> prey : Depends: scrot but it is not going to be installed
[17:54] <ert3go>         Depends: curl but it is not going to be installed
[17:54] <dcullen007> L3top: I don't think you can damage an LCD with a bad modeline, you'll just get bad or no display
[17:54] <Joelixny> L3top~ I'll do that, all my major issues are solved anyway, thank you. :)
[17:55] <oldwzd> dcullen007: wrong, it will get dmged if you use wrong settings, some cases it stops working totaly
[17:55] <ert3go> I got those errors after trying to install http://preyproject.com/. Can anyone help ?
[17:56] <nbubuntu> L3top : just rebooted
[17:56] <nbubuntu> dcullen007 : LED I suppose
[17:56] <nbubuntu> L3top : weird , why window 7 have option for 1600x900 while ubuntu doesn't ?
[17:57] <dcullen007> LED is the backlight, it's still and LCD panel if it's flat
[17:57] <dcullen007> ...and you can't bust an LCD with a bad modeline, or I would have done it
[17:57] <kosko> is it possible to enable remote desltop with cli?
[17:57] <nbubuntu> dcullen007 : sorry , yeh i think it's the same.
[17:57] <kosko> desktop*
[17:57] <kosko> vnc?
[17:57] <oldwzd> dcullen007: rly now im geting irritated on you, YOU ARE WRONG
[17:58] <dcullen007> oldwzd: You can get as mad as you want, but I work for an LCD panel manufacturer
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <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] <alankila> not sure it's possible to damage any display with bad modeline either. Are there documented cases of this happening?
[17:59] <dcullen007> CRT big electromagnetic field and so on
[17:59] <dcullen007> L3top: or he needed to change to another setting
[18:00] <mbd> hola
[18:00] <L3top> I am not willing to sacrifice hardware based on your theory... no offense.
[18:00] <L3top> reboot is sufficient, if annoying
[18:00] <mbd> hola
[18:00] <mbd> ay alguien
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> !es
[18:01] <beandog> !es | mbd
[18:01] <dcullen007> So, L3top, walk me through what happens to an LCD panel when a bad modeline damages it?
[18:01] <Joelixny> mbd~ Cual es tu problema?
[18:01] <nbubuntu> L3top : any setting matches 1600x900 ? somehow , my eye sight is too good with 1920x1080.Words are toooo small for me to read.While as current 1440x900 is the best.Just that 1440 making the display look fat (word and folder ) :-P
[18:01] <dcullen007> L3top: bonus points: compare and contrast the behavior for a CRT
[18:03] <mneptok> dcullen007: please stay on-topic.
[18:03] <dcullen007> mneptok: no worries, he won't be able to answer
[18:03] <L3top> I am in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:04] <mneptok> dcullen007: also, stop baiting.
[18:04] <dcullen007> mneptok: Wasn't meant as bait
[18:05] <L3top> nbubuntu: I do not believe I will be able to give you anything outside of xrandrs defined acceptable resolutions I am afraid. Your catalyst panel will have all that it can do I believe.
[18:06] <Phibs> kyle__: mirror is specified in preseed
[18:06] <nbubuntu> L3top: nope , CCC doesn't have the resolution :(
[18:06] <L3top> I know.
[18:06] <L3top> I am saying it is doing its best, and that is what you will have avail.
[18:09] <kyle__> Phibs: Humm.
[18:09] <roblak> Is it possible to write an upstart script that starts and stops multiple process? I would like to write one for ruby delayed_jobs, which starts 4 worker processes, but does not have a master process
[18:09] <Phibs> its still asking me for teh damn cdrom though :(
[18:09] <nbubuntu> L3top : ok , thanks for the help ;-) , will google , hope to find a solution

[18:14] <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.  How do I make my system suspend even if "Chrome Web Browser" (or any other program, for that matter) is "Power Save Blocker"?
[18:14] <uniquerockrz> hello
[18:15] <Phibs> anyone here good with cobbler/orchestra ?
[18:18] <kuuri> HAH HAH
[18:18] <kuuri> WAHT THE FUCK
[18:18] <FloodBot1> kuuri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <kuuri> SO MANY PEOPLE
[18:19] <kuuri> why are so many people in this SHIT channel
[18:19] <kuuri> for a shitty distro
[18:19] <kuuri> oh my GOD
[18:19] <Myrtti> kuuri: please stop
[18:19] <kuuri> I AM NOT GETTING AGGRSSSIVE
[18:22] <exarkun> What's a better channel in which to ask questions about suspend in Ubuntu?
[18:22] <alo21> hi
[18:23] <L3top> exarkun: this is the appropriate channel.
[18:23] <alo21> How can I create a minimal window (like Ctrl+F in Firefox)
[18:24] <alo21> ?
[18:24] <exarkun> L3top: Answers don't appear to be forthcoming, though.
[18:24] <L3top> !patience | exarkun
[18:24] <Myrtti> nope
[18:24] <Myrtti> yes
[18:24] <Phibs> is there a channel dedicated to ubuntu orchestra?
[18:25] <cntrational> my computer freezes when I restore from a hibernate/standby, what should I do?
[18:25] <Myrtti> kuuri: feel free to join #ubuntu-ops to discuss your mute.
[18:25] <L3top> alo21: what version ubuntu are you on?
[18:25] <exarkun> L3top: I'm a bit skeptical that someone will read an hour's scrollback in this channel and then volunteer an answer to my question.
[18:25] <alo21> L3top: 12.04
[18:26] <L3top> ten minutes would not be repeating too quickly... there would be no reason for it to go an hour.
[18:26] <Pici> Phibs: #ubuntu-server may be able to help
[18:27] <L3top> alo21: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/what-are-unitys-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts
[18:27] <alo21> L3top: thank you
[18:27] <L3top> I thought there was an overlay for shortcuts... like... holding ctrl for a long time or something.
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> it's the super key for shortcuts, in unity
[18:28] <alo21> L3top: may be my question is not very clear..
[18:28] <alo21> L3top: I would create a minimal window in python
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> alo21  there's the channel #python
[18:29] <L3top> Perhaps you are being clear, and I simply don't know what that means ;)
[18:29] <alo21> MonkeyDust: are you sure they know about unity?
[18:30] <frotmacc> Hi I'm trying to install PHP from source (which I've never done before) on 12.04.  What directory should I install it to?
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> alo21  you lost me
[18:30] <alo21> MonkeyDust: was I rude with you?
[18:31] <Phibs> kyle__: looks like it's not detecting network or disk
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> alo21  no, but is your question about unity or about python
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> frotmacc  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/php5.html
[18:31] <alo21> MonkeyDust: both
[18:32] <frotmacc> Monkeydust, thanks
[18:32] <trism> alo21: it has nothing to do with unity, it depends on the framework you use (gtk, qt, etc), and it really more suited to #python
[18:32] <frotmacc> Monkeydust, that is a helpful page however it will not work.  I am attempting to install a legacy version of PHP
[18:33] <frotmacc> Monkeydust, which is why I'm complining it from source in the first place
[18:33] <alo21> trism: ok. thnak you for
[18:33] <alo21> MonkeyDust: thank you
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> frotmacc  i'm afraid that's beyond me
[18:33] <frotmacc> Monkeydust, thanks anyway!
[18:34] <alchimista> hi, in ubuntu 12.04, how do i move a window, or rezise them?

[18:35] <Kartagis> that's not what I want
[18:36] <Kartagis> I'm looking for data recovery

[18:47] <jbwiv> anyone know if alt+f2 run dialog officially went away in 12.04? Seems to no longer work on my machine
[18:47] <dcullen> I have a question: Are there any versioning file systems for Linux? I did a Google search a while back and I didn't find anything suitable
[18:48] <trism> jbwiv: check System Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts/System, it is disabled by default on non-unity sessions
[18:49] <jbwiv> trism, it's not there. I'm in Unity (3d). what command should I map to restore it?
[18:49] <jbwiv> trism, or is there a way to restore the defaults?
[18:49] <bekks> alt+f2 opens the dash search dialog, which will execute commands too.
[18:49] <mauricio> alo alguien es español
[18:49] <jbwiv> bekks, yeah, that's not working for me any longer
[18:50] <DJones> !es > mauricio
[18:50] <jbwiv> alt+f2 does nothing
[18:50] <trism> jbwiv: there is, unity --reset; which may help if your settings are messed up
[18:50] <jbwiv> trism, I tried that, but to no avail
[18:50] <mauricio> ok gracias
[18:51] <dhanasekaran> Guys please guide me ubuntu-installer preseed with localrepositery

[18:51] <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.  How do I make my system suspend even if "Chrome Web Browser" (or any other program, for that matter) is "Power Save Blocker"?
[18:52] <GeekAdmin> Hey I've been getting a lot of Linux gurus basically laughing at me when I tell them I use gnome-classic. Why is this? I love the simple interface of Gnome-classic.

[18:54] <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?
[18:55] <jbwiv> trism, <alt>F2
[18:56] <jbwiv> trism, alt by itself pulls up the HUD, so I know the key is woriking
[18:56] <jbwiv> working
[18:57] <trism> jbwiv: maybe something is conflicting with it? try changing it to something else and seeing if it comes up
[18:59] <dcullen> L3top: nilfs? Does that stand for the NULL file system?
[19:00] <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!!!
[19:01] <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!
[19:02] <dcullen> OK, how do I know if I'm running Unity 2D instead of Unity?
[19:02] <L3top> !find nilfs
[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
[19:03] <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?
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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.
[19:06] <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] <benassi_> ?
[19:06] <dcullen> ThinkT510: Which one is the "super" key?
[19:06] <ThinkT510> felipe_Brz: there is always a chance
[19:06] <felipe_Brz> hmmm
[19:06] <ThinkT510> dcullen: the windows logo
[19:07] <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.
[19:08] <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.
[19:09] <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.
[19:10] <ThinkT510> felipe_Brz: backups are great (hint, hint)
[19:10] <exarkun> Relondo: Do you have as much swap as you have physical memory?
[19:11] <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?
[19:12] <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] <ThinkT510> !dns
[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.
[19:13] <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.
[19:14] <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?
[19:15] <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?
[19:16] <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"
[19:17] <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.
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <fortmac> does anyone know where ubuntu puts the apxs for an apache configuration?
[19:19] <Relondo> exarkun: Alright. Thanks for the help.
[19:20] <txomon> fortmac: ? apx? nearly sure in /lib or /usr/lib
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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.
[19:24] <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"
[19:25] <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] <Nickbertus> hey, is it able to change the monitor rotation just on the 2nd workspace?
[19:26] <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?
[19:27] <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] <Nickbertus> how do i change the workspace in the terminal?
[19:27] <New2Ubuntu> no :9
[19:27] <New2Ubuntu> :(
[19:27] <New2Ubuntu> still looking
[19:27] <Relondo> New2Ubuntu: Well, I gotta go. But good luck :)
[19:27] <MDKAOD> BluesKaj: Will do, thanks.
[19:28] <LetterRip> hi i get 'grub rescue' prompt. my dvd drive has failed so cant do anything via a live cd any suggestions?
[19:28] <benassi> how to pin xChat to upcorner where are other icnos?
[19:28] <dcullen> LetterRip: boot from USB drive?
[19:28] <MDKAOD> ubottu: Thanks for the tip. Downloading now.
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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.
[19:32] <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
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <mirak> Seveas, if you think it should, then you should not autorise automatic login
[19:36] <Nickbertus> well, i am able to change all my workspaces, but not one explicit workspace ...
[19:37] <mirak> so any solution for this problem ? Seveas ?
[19:38] <wolfgang_> Where can i get help with my router on XChat?
[19:38] <ThinkT510> wolfgang_: ##networking maybe
[19:39] <Phibs> kyle__: got it installing now
[19:40] <ThinkT510> !yay | Phibs
[19:40] <wolfgang_> thank you bye
[19:40] <Phibs> ;0
[19:40] <kyle__> Phibs: Cool!  What was the issue?
[19:41] <Phibs> kyle__: multiple things
[19:41] <Phibs> first was the initrd that cobbler --imported , no drivers
[19:41] <Phibs> copied the netboot initrd from the iso to /tftpboot/images/Ubuntublah
[19:41] <Phibs> then some network related stuff in the seed file
[19:42] <kyle__> Pfff, who needs drivers?  Monolith kernel FTW.
[19:43] <arooni-mobile> is it possible to open an .ai file on ubuntu?  it seems like i need inkscape and need to convert first to a .svg?
[19:43] <Phibs> kyle__: ;0
[19:45] <usr13> arooni-mobile: You are correct
[19:45] <Riley88> guys i could use some help seems that no matter what i do i still have really bad video tearing
[19:45] <usr13> arooni-mobile: You need inkscape
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <violinappren> arooni-mobile: gimp can open .ai
[19:46] <usr13> arooni-mobile: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_formats_can_Inkscape_import.2Fexport.3F
[19:46] <trism> arooni-mobile: the version in 12.04 has .ai listed in the supported formats in the open file dialog (I don't have any ai files to test though)
[19:46] <violinappren> arooni-mobile: it will rasterzie it though
[19:46] <Riley88> and i cant install my ati driver because thatlle cause unity/gnome 3 to lagg really bad
[19:48] <Riley88> does anyone have any ideas ive tried gnome 2 with driver installed and compiz dosnt help anything
[19:49] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: so your ATI VGA is possessed ?
[19:49] <Riley88> i think what do u mean
[19:50] <Riley88> im using the 12.4 driver
[19:50] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: tearing
[19:50] <arooni-mobile> usr13, i see; i have gimp 2.8 i can try it
[19:50] <arooni-mobile> violinappren, what does rasterize mean
[19:50] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: do you mean there are burst of strange coloured junk on the display ?
[19:50] <arooni-mobile> should i ask for a .svg format from the designer?
[19:51] <Riley88> no i get black lines during fast movement
[19:51] <arooni-mobile> damn this is a great looking logo.  i love design contests!
[19:51] <violinappren> arooni-mobile: convert it to a bitmap image instead of being vector-based
[19:52] <arooni-mobile> well i suppose with inksacape i can scale it arbitrariliy large which is what i wanted
[19:52] <arooni-mobile> as it is a vector format
[19:52] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: what kernel are you running ?
[19:52] <Riley88> and ive litterlay tried everything when i was on arch i was able to add options to my xorg ,conf and theat seemed to work the best but my computer tends to overheat when i dont have my propreitary driver activated
[19:52] <Riley88> ive tried up to 3.4 percice
[19:53] <Riley88> on arch it was 3.4.5-arch with xfce
[19:53] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: cat /proc/version # and tell me the line, from a console
[19:53] <Riley88> but my computer was getting to hot
[19:53] <buckstabu> Not a huge problem, just a curiosity question, Last time i tried to update my graphics card drivers, My computer would only boot into LOW GRAPHICS MODE and would be incredibly unresponsive the whole time.
[19:53] <buckstabu> Why does it do that?
[19:53] <Riley88> im on windows atm i need to reinstall ubuntu lol
[19:54] <Riley88> what should i see
[19:54] <kesroesweyth> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (a little dated, I know) and I've installed the sshfs package and mounted a directory on another machine successfully using SSH. I can navigate and copy files between the two machines from the terminal, but in the GUI, the mount point looks like a text document icon instead of a folder and errors out when i double click on it.
[19:54] <TheM4ch1n3> Riley88: um, use VirtualBox
[19:54] <kesroesweyth> The mount point is /mnt/imac and the error in the GUI is "Could not display '/mnt/imac'."
[19:55] <Riley88> i need to redownload it although i do have mint installed on my usb
[19:55] <MonkeyDust> kesroesweyth  you won't find support for 10.10, it is no longer valid
[19:55] <buckstabu> Monkeyquest, It's an LTS distrobution, Doesn't it still have support?  Unless I'm thinking 10.04
[19:55] <kesroesweyth> I was hoping someone could help anyways.
[19:55] <Riley88> how long will u be here them4macn3
[19:55] <Riley88> going to take me about 30 minutes to download 12.04
[19:56] <kesroesweyth> buckstabu it was supported until this past April, I believe.
[19:56] <kesroesweyth> officially, anyhow.
[19:56] <buckstabu> Ah, I see.
[19:56] <MonkeyDust> buckstabu  the lts is 10.04
[19:56] <jeremiah_> Ok, i have a space prob. I have a small hdd (30gb) and something is taking up a bunch of space, and i can't find it. I barely have anything other then ubuntu itself on it, yet i only have 6.5 gb space left. what could be taking up all that space? And how can i find it? I use the disk usage analyzer, yet it shows nothing big, and that my hdd is almost empty.
[19:56] <jeremiah_> but says it has only 6.5gb space left
[19:57] <MonkeyDust> jeremiah_  in a terminal, type this command, replace 1G with 500M or so, if you like        find / -size +1G -exec ls -l {} \;
[19:57] <usr13> jeremiah_: du -sk * | sort -n  <will list by file sizes, largest last>
[19:57] <usr13> jeremiah_: ls -lS |grep ^d   <will show directories sorted by size>
[19:59] <burntchips> disk utility is listing my HDD as ATA when its SATA & lshw does too [along with stating my battery is an NiCd when its li-ion], is this an if it aint broke dont fix it thing or should i do something about it?
[20:00] <jeremiah_> usr13, it shows nothing bigger then 300mb, and adding it up, only 3-4 gb is being used.
[20:00] <usr13> MonkeyDust: Good but prolly need to preface that with sudo
[20:01] <jeremiah_> Plus, i don't have any other partitions, except the catche, only 3 gb big
[20:01] <usr13> jeremiah_: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #and send resulting URL.
[20:02] <jeremiah_> usr13, um it gave >
[20:02] <zykotick9> usr13: it seems to me that "ls -lS | grep ^d" doesn't sort by size of folder contents... all folders = 4096 in my case...

I tried just pressing ENTER as the Linux Mint website points to but it doesn't work at all. The Linux Mint channel isn't responding, please help me!
[20:22] <usr13> jeremiah_: Maybe you have a cron job doing a backup?  Or you have some sort of application that is making a backup of your HD?

[20:23] <jeremiah_> oh. ok.

[20:28] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: Have you taken a break to eat or rest?
[20:29] <SolarisB2y> dhanasekaran: are you trying to go a pull from a local http repo? or is this just a repo "directory" that you have available during the installation?
[20:29] <dhanasekaran> dcullen, I have very critical situation man, I have to do it,
[20:29] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, yes

[20:30] <SolarisB2y> its not right
[20:30] <dcullen> Should there be two "http://" ?
[20:30] <SolarisB2y> no there shouldn't dcullen
[20:31] <dhanasekaran> dcullen, How to do with localrepo please guide me.
[20:31] <SolarisB2y> you need not use http if the repo is local no?
[20:31] <SolarisB2y> is the "local" repo available to the chroot environment the installer operates in?
[20:31] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: I gave you a link to a blog that showed how to do it. did that not work?
[20:31] <SolarisB2y> dcullen: do you have another box on your network that you can use as a webserver?
[20:32] <SolarisB2y> if so simply put the repo there - it will/may be easy
[20:32] <jeremiah_> Jul 20 15:32:29 CDT 2012
[20:32] <SolarisB2y> *easier rather you can also just use an argument in the boot line to point to the preseed.cfg you want at boot time if you edit

[20:33] <usr13> jeremiah_: What were you doing to your computer  July 18 (Wed.) at a little before 10 o'clock ?
[20:34] <SolarisB2y> dhanasekaran: why? why not http? what is the need for local?
[20:34] <PrivateReese> an update grub command does now not find any linux
[20:34] <PrivateReese> somehow kernel data is gone?
[20:34] <jeremiah_> usr13, hm, lets see. i am not sure.
[20:35] <SolarisB2y> dhanasekaran: the local repo stuff is well documented in the example preseed - did you read it?
[20:35] <jeremiah_> usr13,  aha! trying to restore a dead hdd.
[20:35] <K1rk> If I have users whose profile derived from a skel folder....why does Ubuntu software center ask for my admin password (different account) when these skel users are installing software?  Sudo works for the skel users.
[20:35] <usr13> jeremiah_: (In other words, a clue to where that file came from is the date of creation.)
[20:35] <SolarisB2y> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt || you should read it search for "local repository"
[20:35] <SolarisB2y> its not hard
[20:35] <usr13> jeremiah_: Ok there you go.
[20:35] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, Because all package getting from internet , total bandwith down, i am planning to do with gettting all package from local repo
[20:35] <SolarisB2y> heh
[20:35] <usr13> jeremiah_: So there is the contents of the "dead HDD"?
[20:36] <jeremiah_> usr13,  wha?
[20:36] <SolarisB2y> i dont think thats a legitimate reason -
[20:36] <jeremiah_> is that the contents?
[20:36] <SolarisB2y> are you speaking of bandwidth over WAN? if so - it's not a big benefit you'd get from local and a repo ON your network.. which you said you had
[20:36] <usr13> jeremiah_: If you need it, put it on a USB drive or copy it across the network to another PC, (hopefully with a bigger HD).  Or... just delete it, (if you don't need it.)
[20:37] <jeremiah_> usr13, but, where do i find it???
[20:37] <SolarisB2y> but anyway you need to read on setting up a local repo thats all - review the doc
[20:37] <jeremiah_> i cant seem to find it in my "home"
[20:37] <usr13> jeremiah_: It's in / right?
[20:37] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, localrepo for pre installation  not for post installation apt-setup for post installation
[20:37] <jeremiah_> usr13,  i am not sure.
[20:37] <usr13> ls -l /ssd.img
[20:37] <maplesoft> how to rename a file in console?
[20:37] <SolarisB2y> ... - please read the doc now..
[20:37] <jeremiah_> r--r-- 1 root root 16012804096 Jul 18 21:43 /ssd.img
[20:38] <MonkeyDust> maplesoft  mv old_name new_name
[20:38] <jeremiah_> so root?
[20:38] <usr13> jeremiah_: There you go.....
[20:38] <usr13> jeremiah_: Yes root.
[20:38] <Phibs> anyone know how to get cobbler/orchestra to set the static IP as configured for the system, and to have it check in with cobbler/orch when done?
[20:38] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: Does he have to change "d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com"?
[20:38] <maplesoft> MonkeyDust thanks
[20:38] <SolarisB2y> preseeding == installation - anything after I dont think falls into preseed
[20:38] <SolarisB2y> dcullen: yes
[20:38] <usr13> jeremiah_:    rm /ssd.img
[20:38] <SolarisB2y> dcullen: and others - what i see there in his file indicates he didn't read the doc
[20:38] <jeremiah_> but where? i thought to root is something you get in terminal to do some stuff.
[20:38] <SolarisB2y> there are other things to adjust it's plainly stated in the link i provided
[20:38] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: He might need a bit of handholding to figure that out. He's been at this all day and hasn't figured it out.
[20:38] <jeremiah_> remove write-protected regular file `/ssd.img'?
[20:38] <jeremiah_> ya...
[20:38] <usr13> jeremiah_:   df ; rm /ssd.img ; df
[20:38] <SolarisB2y> hrmm - i see dcullen
[20:39] <jeremiah_> how?
[20:39] <jeremiah_> Y
[20:39] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, I am asking local mirror with preseed file, access all packages download from local repo, from pre installation
[20:39] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: He may have read the doc, but English might be a second language
[20:39] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, please guide
[20:39] <jeremiah_> hang on a moment
[20:39] <usr13> jeremiah_: In other words, do df before and after to see your recovered HDD space.
[20:39] <SolarisB2y> ill be leaving as well dcullen shortly - and also multi tasking - but it's about 5 lines there you need to add
[20:39] <SolarisB2y> again: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
[20:39] <usr13> jeremiah_:   df ; sudo rm /ssd.img ; df
[20:40] <jeremiah_> http://pastebin.com/Y6hDinV6
[20:41] <usr13> jeremiah_: sudo rm /ssd.img ; df
[20:42] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1102428/  correct
[20:42] <maplesoft> how to extract .zip?
[20:42] <jeremiah_> http://pastebin.com/mvj5bXEK
[20:42] <SolarisB2y> maplesoft: unzip command
[20:42] <jstoone> Hi, don't know if this is off-topic, but is the ncurses c library in the repos?
[20:42] <SolarisB2y> -D for desination if needed
[20:42] <maplesoft> SolarisB2y hm
[20:42] <usr13> jeremiah_: Very good.  Is there anything else we can help you with?
[20:43] <jeremiah_> usr13,  so, where is it?
[20:43] <usr13> gone
[20:43] <SolarisB2y> dhanasekaran: you need to not use an mirror/http/hostname
[20:43] <ghostchick> maplesoft,  file-roller for a gnome gui integration
[20:43] <usr13> jeremiah_: You just deleted it.
[20:43] <jeremiah_> i don't seem to be able to read it, with the naked eye
[20:43] <SolarisB2y> this is telling ubuntu to look to use http not a local repo...
[20:43] <jeremiah_> usr13, what?! i needed it!
[20:43] <maplesoft> ghostchick command line .
[20:43] <PrivateReese> can someone please help me fixing my /boot partition?
[20:43] <maplesoft> SolarisB2y sudo: unzip: command not found
[20:43] <SolarisB2y> mirror/http/directory appends /ubuntu to the hostname you just defined, , this is not what you need - your working on a local filesystem repo
[20:43] <SolarisB2y> maplesoft: please apt-get install unzip
[20:44] <jeremiah_> ya, i do need help, restoring it...
[20:44] <maplesoft> ok
[20:44] <SolarisB2y> its not a default installed thing
[20:44] <usr13> jeremiah_: Sorry about that, but you wanted to recover hard drive space.  I told you to back it up someplace else if you needed it.
[20:44] <bwat47> maplesoft: also you may want to sudo apt-get install urar and p7zip while you're at it :)
[20:44] <jeremiah_> usr13,  i was asking where it was! not to get rid of it!
[20:44] <anonymous> :)
[20:45] <jeremiah_> at least, i hope it is still on that dead hdd...
[20:45] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: Will this work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1102430/
[20:45] <usr13> jeremiah_: You knew where it was.....
[20:45] <SolarisB2y> dcullen: no
[20:45] <Guest19053> you speeak russia?
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[20:45] <usr13> jeremiah_: /ssd.img  #You even said so.
[20:45] <SolarisB2y> the protocol is no longer http AFAIK - sirs so we dont want to use point the mirror to use http attributes
[20:45] <jstoone> I fixed it myself.
[20:45] <jeremiah_> usr13, well i couldn't read it.
[20:46] <SolarisB2y> UNLESS you mean a local repo as in locally running WEB server on the network
[20:46] <jeremiah_> where the world was it???!!!!
[20:46] <dj_ryan> so i know a lot of ya'll run ubuntu on macbook pros, and i have ubuntu installed on mine, but i noticed that suspend doesnt work when i run a WM like i3 or awesome. they also dont run gnome-session either. concidence?
[20:46] <Arash>  hello , how can I add google repository ?
[20:46] <Arash> :- )
[20:46] <usr13> jeremiah_: Why couldn't you?
[20:46] <SolarisB2y> in which case - yes.. but you may need a key or such to avoid breaking the automation of preseed with a prompt or anything..
[20:46] <Arash> !earth
[20:46] <jeremiah_> where the world is that located?!
[20:46] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: Isn't that the way to go? Or are you telling him to use FTP?
[20:46] <usr13> jeremiah_: It has been deleted.
[20:46] <dcullen> Ah well, I gotta jet
[20:46] <jeremiah_> usr13,  i noticed
[20:46] <SolarisB2y> dcullen: technically a "localrepo" to me means a folder on filesystem accessed like file:///path/to/whatever
[20:46] <Guest19053> !earth
[20:47] <SolarisB2y> so if he does have a web server (like i asked) then yes.. he can still use http..
[20:47] <dcullen> SolarisB2y: Well, that is one level of local, then there would be a local HTTP or FTP based repo
[20:47] <Arash> any help with google earth ?
[20:48] <dcullen> Since he's trying to do net installs, I assumed he needed a network repo
[20:48] <SolarisB2y> right - i guess i used the package localrepo to much on redhat/centos
[20:48] <Arash> tried sudo apt-get googleearth-package but no luck
[20:48] <usr13> jeremiah_: but here is how you would look at such an image.  mkdir ~/ssd ; mount -o loop /ssd.img ~/ssd ; ls ~/ssd
[20:48] <SolarisB2y> it reminds me of a directory - so i assumed that - my bad
[20:48] <jeremiah_> maybe you can help me remove the information off the drive some time...
[20:48] <Arash> !earth
[20:48] <SolarisB2y> but anyway - yes - that looks like you can give it a shot - it's definately not enough for auto but you can test it...
[20:48] <usr13> jeremiah_: Sure...
[20:48] <dcullen> More proof that unity-greeter ignores my Unity 2D preference, GAH!
[20:49] <jeremiah_> but i have a busy life, so later.
[20:49] <usr13> jeremiah_: I usually use a USB adapter for such things....
[20:49] <jeremiah_> But, thanks for helping me solve the problem!
[20:49] <jeremiah_> usr13,  the hdd is dead...
[20:49] <dcullen> Jeepers, it even ingores my ~/.dmrc
[20:49] <usr13> jeremiah_: ok.... come back anytime, we're always glad to help out a fellow linux user.
[20:49] <usr13> jeremiah_: You mean it no longer boots?
[20:49] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: You making any progress?
[20:49] <jeremiah_> usr13,  thanks, and thanks for fixing my storage problem.
[20:50] <usr13> jeremiah_: Sure.  NP
[20:50] <dcullen> dhanasekaran: I have to leave, but I might be able to help you later tonight
[20:50] <jeremiah_> usr13, it is an external hdd.
[20:50] <usr13> jeremiah_: oh, ok.
[20:50] <jeremiah_> not a bootable one
[20:50] <dcullen> He must be heads down reading stuff
[20:50] <jeremiah_> bye.
[20:50] <dhanasekaran> dcullen, still trying
[20:52] <SolarisB2y> ihave the following: mirror/country; mirror/http/hostname; mirror/http/directory; mirror/http/proxy ;  mirror/http/mirror in my working preseed
[20:52] <SolarisB2y> the values are for you to fill out dhanasekaran but those are in my _working_ preseed.cfg that i frequently use between systems - again - thats not a full auto install but thats the mirror parts
[20:53] <SolarisB2y> mines is 96 lines though - so there are many options that can be fully automated..
[20:54] <guntbert> SolarisB2y: may I PM you (about your preseed) ?
[20:55] <MBCommander> Hi guys. Is this an okay place to ask a question?
[20:56] <guntbert> !ask | MBCommander
[20:56] <MBCommander> Okay
[20:57] <MBCommander> I installed Ubuntu today and it automatically updated and installed the Nvidia drivers. However I cannot get higher than 1024x768 and it is not seeing my display device
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> MBCommander  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[20:58] <MBCommander> MonkeyDust:  thank you. checking it now
[20:59] <delac> does anyone know where thunderbird gets its monochrome icons and how to change them? (something else than new theme, thank you)
[20:59] <SolarisB2y> guntbert: sure - if it will be quick - sorry im about to leave the office
[21:02] <zsolt_hun> hi there.try to setup postgresql on ubuntu 12.04.my problem is that there is not such option to setup password for postgres.googled,but didn't find anything useful
[21:02] <HTT-Bird> is there a PPA for libcelt 0.11.x on Lucid?
[21:03] <jvargas> is it possible to downgrade a package version? for example I want to downgrade tomcat 7 to tomcat 6, is it possible using package manager?
[21:05] <Yaugzebul> 1634 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:06] <okay> why is compiz using 50% cpu on default settings?
[21:06] <okay> 50% of a dual core -_-
[21:08] <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.
[21:10] <dhanasekaran> SolarisB2y, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1102457/ please correct my config file please guide me
[21:10] <niklas_> hey, could you tell me the terminal comand to hide the right unity panel?

[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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)?
[21:17] <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... But i have no network at all on my guest install... Is there an easier way to manage kvm vms?
[21:21] <livingdaylight> Hia, does someone know, whether Unity can be set to auto-hide to increase realestate potential on laptop?
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <guntbert> livingdaylight: although I must admit that I don't remember how i did it
[21:23] <Laurenceb_> jwxtt: SDRSharp
[21:24] <Laurenceb_> is there a config for bluez-alsa?
[21:25] <DJones> livingdaylight: Appearance -> Behaviour -> Autohide the launcher
[21:25] <DJones> (From System settings)
[21:25] <livingdaylight> DJones, found it - thank you very much
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <ThinkT510> !vbox
[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
[21:30] <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 ?
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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?)
[21:34] <DanielHoffman> i think it may be a host problem, the only time we talked on xbox is if there is a 3rd person there
[21:35] <usr13> DanielHoffman: What type of internet connection do you have?  DSL?  Cable?  or....???
[21:35] <DanielHoffman> Cable
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <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
[21:42] <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
[21:43]  * BluesKaj shrugs  ... almost dinnertime
[21:43] <usr13> BluesKaj: Scroll up and see the answers he just gave to my questions.
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:49] <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....
[21:50] <usr13> And so the xbox is set to 192.168.2.2 with default gateway of 192.168.2.1 ?
[21:50] <DanielHoffman> yes
[21:51] <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.
[21:52] <DanielHoffman> no other item is using it besides the xbox
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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] <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
 yeah fixed it now
[21:56] <Laurenceb_> but more issues :S
[21:56] <DanielHoffman> i checked the xbox website and it needs port :80 53 88 3074 open
[21:56] <beandog> 53?  isn't that for DNS?
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <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.
[22:01] <Dr_willis> hollenjf,  thats the power saveings settings. Not screensaver.
[22:03] <Jake_> Nvidia isnt detecting my monitor. I am capped at 800x600 and 1024x768 and the display reads "CRT(0)" Any help?
[22:04] <hollenjf> Dr_willis: Where are the power settings?
[22:04] <Dr_willis> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=12.04%20screen%20lock%20disable&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liberiangeek.net%2F2012%2F04%2Fdisable-screensaver-lock-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin  for a cli way.. theres a check box somewhere
[22:04] <Dr_willis> hollenjf,  in the settings somewhere.. Im not on ubuntu so cant check
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> hollenjf  system settings, brightness & lock
[22:05] <hollenjf> Thank you! :)
[22:06] <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
[22:10] <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. ;)
[22:11] <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
[22:12] <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.
[22:13] <Dr_willis> kortsi,  examples at --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[22:14] <Dr_willis> kortsi,  also examples and discussed at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:15] <halvors> Anyone knows about a DC++ hub for Ubuntu? In the precise repos?
[22:18] <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 :/
[22:19] <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
[22:21] <dataviruset> escott: okay, and then I will have to make some changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg or something like that?
[22:22] <dataviruset> or /etc/fstab maybe
[22:22] <escott> dataviruset, probably
[22:23] <delinquentme> best options for reinstalling windows without redoing the existing ubuntu installation?
[22:24] <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?
[22:25] <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.
[22:26] <delinquentme> so thats it then huh? just install windows in its partition and ensure that grub2 is where it needs to be?
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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...
[22:29] <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 :/
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <Dr_willis> phixxor,  ive never needed to use more then the ubuntu live cd..
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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!
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <recon69_lap> phixxor: do you have a usb drive attached, if so remove it when checking
[22:36] <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?
[22:37] <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'
[22:38] <recon69_lap> bekks:  dont think so, but i'd have to check the bios
[22:39] <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 :)
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <Dr_willis> !manual | habib
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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] <Guest57194> im new to Ubuntu
[22:45] <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
[22:47] <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? :)
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <dataviruset> escott: hmm :)
[22:50] <folmer> spacebarbarian, assumin your VPN is on tun0 interface, block all traffic originating from any other interface using ufw
[22:51] <spacebarbarian> folmer: it seems to be on tap0 does that make sense ?
[22:52] <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
[22:53] <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
[22:54] <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
[22:55] <smallfoot-> http://tinyurl.com/bsfwt86
[22:55] <beandog> are you building your own kernel?
[22:55] <accerqueira> me? kinda... its a linode...
[22:55] <dataviruset> escott: update-initramfs -u   ? :)
[22:56] <livingdaylight> !restricted
[22:56] <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...
[22:57] <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?
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <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 ?
[23:00] <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
[23:02] <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 :)
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <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?
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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
[23:09] <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
[23:10] <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?
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <folmer> escott: so far it's been quite a breeze even for a novice just following a howto.
[23:13] <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?
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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?
[23:18] <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.
[23:20] <beandog> bugaloo: your best bet is just googling for ubuntu <laptop model>
[23:21] <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?
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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)
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <stansmith> HEy guys, is there any voice modifying software for ubuntu?
[23:28] <folmer> beandog: it still won't listen on the vpn interface (10.4.x.x)
[23:29] <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.
[23:30] <pi_> Hi
[23:30] <blackshirt> hi pi_
[23:32] <smallfoot-> glitsj16, which was the placement mode before it got dumb?
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <glitsj16> smallfoot-: cascade mode seems to be the default, just checked
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <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] <folmer> I'm just testing you know
[23:38] <folmer> cheers ^^
[23:41] <DanielHoffman> what is the difference between a minimal install and a server install?
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <beandog> (as is all of the releases)
[23:43] <DanielHoffman> minimal and install what i need
[23:43] <r0tha> i.e do you really need apache2 on an embedded system
[23:43] <Benxyzzy> Challenge: With bash, how do I a)print a binary file to stdout printable characters, and then b) run this the otherway, putting it into stdin to write to disk a binary file?
[23:44] <Dr_willis> Benxyzzy,  clarify that a bit more...
[23:44] <beandog> Benxyzzy: you mean like base64 encode it?
[23:44] <beandog> Dr_willis: convert binary to text, and back
[23:44] <Benxyzzy> beandog: Exactly. And decode the other way
[23:44] <Dr_willis> Benxyzzy,  uuencode and uudecode.. been around for decades. :)
[23:44] <Dr_willis> I think i rember those names right..
[23:44] <beandog> Benxyzzy: use base64 :)
[23:45] <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
[23:46] <beandog> right
[23:46] <beandog> that's way cool
[23:46] <beandog> I wonder which package has it
[23:46] <beandog> sharutils
[23:46] <Dr_willis> base64 seems to be the updated version perhaps? its mentioned on the wiki page.
[23:47] <beandog> I think that's what email uses for binaries
[23:47] <geminga> can someone help me configuring wine to use the proper card?
[23:47] <beandog> sorry, attachments
[23:48] <Dr_willis> geminga,  clarify what you mean.
[23:48] <blackshirt> geminga, why you need wine'
[23:48] <beandog> Benxyzzy: what are tyou trying to do, anyway
[23:48] <geminga> to run a game
[23:48] <Dr_willis> details please..... 'use proper card' means what?
[23:49] <geminga> i got bumblebee and wine and someone told me to configure wine to do so
[23:49] <Dr_willis> Not sure what Bumblebee has to do with wine at all...
[23:49] <blackshirt> geminga, lan card or graphic card?
[23:49] <geminga> graphic
[23:49] <Dr_willis> Yoru X server is useing whatever card you set up for it to use with Bumblebee, so wine would use that card..
[23:50] <Benxyzzy> beandog: Bizarrely, I am in a situation with virtual machines and ssh shells mixed together in such a way that putting a very small piece of data from one the the other is quickest achieved by copy-pasting.
[23:50] <beandog> Benxyzzy: lol, say no more, I understand.
[23:51] <geminga> dont need help anymore thanks guys:))
[23:52] <beandog> Benxyzzy: personally, I'd get public keys with no passphrases setup everywhere
[23:52] <beandog> Benxyzzy: or host it on a web server ... or run a small ftp server (anonftp would be perfect)
[23:52] <beandog> but yah, ssh pubkeys + no passphrase + .ssh/config setup = quick access
[23:53] <beandog> and good for shell scripts
[23:53] <Benxyzzy> beandog: It's all part of the mix.
[23:53] <beandog> Benxyzzy: yah, I'm sure it's a nightmare environment. :)
[23:54] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
