Moogsanyone use compizconfig settings manager00:37
StealthyHey there. I was installing ubuntu on my home box. I was repartitioning one drive. Then the instalation window became fuzzy, but the computer is not frozen, since i can still turn on and off caps lock. Is there any key combintion that can bring back the installation window? I'm installing ubuntustudio 12.4, by the way...00:38

Stealthyvirtualblackness, it gives me a terminal and then the same "frozen install window" I had earlier. Is there any way I can know if the partioning is over yet? If it' s over yet I guess I can just turn off my computer and start the installation all over again without loosing any data...00:43
L3topStealthy: I would exercize rule #1... especially when partitioning. Patience.00:43

calamariCorvus: my best guess is that the file is corrupt.. but of course that shouldn't cause vlc to crash01:06

L3topFyodorovna: compiz... NOT easy use in kde on precise. Confirmed. Was a bit nightmarish actually.01:27
FyodorovnaL3top, I wondered, what is the DE manager in kde?01:27
maoI run the command "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to free cache manually,but how can I reset /proc/sys/vm/drop_cache to 001:28
escottmao, echo 001:29
maoescott: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches01:29
maoescott: bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument01:29
escottmao, i dont know what those parameters do. or what is valid for that value01:29
L3topI am not sure I can answer that Fyodorovna...01:30
maoescott: the default value of /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches is 001:31
escottmao, but what does 0 mean?01:31
FyodorovnaL3top, hehe I have never used kde for any length of time, seems nice just never used it.01:31
maoescott: I don't know,you can see the value in you linux box01:32
user567#android01:33
escottmao, so why is it so important to put the value back to 0?01:35
L3topmao: are you root?01:37
maoescott: well...I just wonder why I can't put the value back to zero...01:37
maoL3top: yes,I switch to root01:37
escottmao, if it doesn't have a meaning...01:37
escottmao, based on what the values 1-3 do this looks to be an event oriented interface not a value oriented interface01:38
Gneahm, wondering why X would suddenly just stop and boot me back to a gdm login...01:38
escottGnea, gnome-session crashed01:38
Gneaescott: thing is, I'm not running gnome01:39
Gneabut, I will look into it01:39
escottGnea, well whatever you are using as a session manager crashed (thats the usual cause) alternately X crashed01:39
Gneaescott:  8932 ?        Sl     0:00      \_ /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-session-worker01:40
Gneadbus also seems to have a problem running on this system01:40
maoescott: Do you mean that what the value of /proc/sys/vm/drop_cache is meanless, only whe I change the value (or just echo) it works ?01:42
L3topmao, escott  I believe that null is a default value, for instance at boot, and setting 1, 2 or 3 frees pagecache, dentries and inodes in various combinations. I do not believe you can "set" 0, only the operations are setable. it looks like.01:42
escottmao, yes.01:42
L3topmao: out of curiosity... why are you fooling around in there?01:45
maoL3top: I was confused by "the value", I think "the value" has impact on the performance of system...01:48
L3topit is an operation more than a set value it would appear. You set it, it does its non-destructive flush. then it does nothing until set again. What is yours set to atm?01:49
L3tophttp://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_drop_caches.html  mao01:51
maoL3top: Just like escott said, it is an event oriented interface, not a value oriented interface...this is the first time i heared this01:53
maoL3top: thank you, now i understand it01:53
L3topnote "As this is a non-destructive operation, and dirty objects are not freeable, the user should run "sync" first in order to make sure all cached objects are freed."01:54

Areckxescott::  I don't know, usually it ensures it works02:14

rockyescott, i don't have swap disj02:14
rockyescott, i don't have swap disk02:14

DaghdhaHi02:53
DaghdhaI am trying to format a partition but it says is in use, how can i see what's using it?02:53
=== ubuntu is now known as xu34
escottBentFranklin, you can try removing "quiet splash" from your /etc/default/grub boot options, but plymouth is always there02:54
Daghdhaawwwwwwww02:54
Daghdhaneed to unmount as root02:54
BentFranklinescott:  yeah I looked at that file but there's nothing about splash in there02:55
xu34i'm trying to figure out the size of a disk that has no partition table; i think i can get it with the udevadm command and the USEC_INITIALIZED line although i have no idea how to calculate it.  does anybody have any idea. this is the size of one disk (i think):  E: USEC_INITIALIZED=508724502:55
escottxu34, why not just use "sudo parted -l"?02:56
c2tarungoddard: I couldn't find isn addon on mozilla site, can you please tell me how to get it and install it to thunderbird02:56
xu34escott: i was and because there is no label it gives an error instead of the size02:57
=== Guest42032 is now known as DWSR
xu34escott: solved it... little bit of extra work. have to suppress the error message and then my code works03:01
CynepCuponso…. i have a very serious question03:01
CynepCupon12.04 iso03:01
CynepCuponwhy the **** won't the disc image mount?03:01
CynepCuponi've downoad ubuntu, ubuntu studio… 12.04 LTS03:01
CynepCuponthey won't mount03:01
CynepCuponi can't burn the .iso file03:01
syddrafHave you md5'd them to check for integrity?03:01
CynepCuponi'm on OSX03:02
Daghdhai can't unmount a drive because it's in used, can i force it?03:02
escottCynepCupon, you don't mount it. you burn it directly03:02
syddrafI fail to see why that would prevent you from md5ing them03:02
CynepCuponyes but i can also mount them to check03:02
escottCynepCupon, OSX has a god complex, and things everything is for itself. so just save the iso and then burn it03:02
CynepCuponthe rest of linux distros mounted fine03:02
vooksounds corrupt if it can't be burned, try 'burn' (the software)03:03
CynepCuponbut would the website be linking to corrupt iso fileS?03:03
escottDaghdha, not really. there is a lazy unmount, but it stays mounted until whoever is in it leaves. you can use "lsof" to find who has it open03:03
CynepCuponthe torrent, the direct download…. and the studio version03:03
vookno, if its corrupt it may have happened during download.03:04
Daghdhai grepped lsof output on .mnt/Downloads and saw nothing03:04
Daghdhai grepped lsof output on /mnt/Downloads and saw nothing03:04
vookavoid the torrent if possible.03:04
CynepCuponok…. another go at the download03:04
CynepCuponi hate this part03:04
L3topxu34: can you explain better, because I don't think it is correct.03:04
escottvook, why would one avoid a torrent if they were worried about corruption... seems the opposite would make more sense03:05
CynepCuponbut not as bad as the openSUSE download, 4.6 gigs03:05
KlikiniTorrent files can contain viruses and may be corrupted.03:05
CynepCuponwell i'm on OSX and leaving it03:05
CynepCupongoing to linux on a lenovo03:05
vookCynepCupon: if you can make use of wget, do so.03:05
CynepCuponwhat is wget03:06
escottwhat is this? lie about torrents day?03:06
vookno, torrents are a mess.03:06
vookno lies.03:06
Daghdhatorrents can be a mess, theoretically.03:06
CynepCuponwell torrents download from multiple sources03:06
escottvook, and we shouldn't trust git either?03:07
vookCynepCupon: wget is a terminal based download tool, just search for wget osx03:07
CynepCuponapple products are for people who have too much money, and need to waste some.03:07
xu34L3top   sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc 2>/dev/null | grep /dev | grep bytes | cut -d " " -f 3-4   outputs the size of the disk (not the partition) and this disk might be without a partition table (dd if=/dev/zeero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=1 for instance)03:08
vookescott: who said anything about git?03:08
CynepCuponthink Lenovo will run ubuntu ok?03:08
Daghdhawow is like 40 processes keeping my drive busy03:08
xu34L3top: if i don't suppress error output then i can't cut out the numbers...03:09

vookescott: i don't really care to debate in irc, its off topic.03:09
xu34L3top: my output for instance is "4004 MB,"  I actually don't like the comma in that output although have no idea how to remove... cut doesn't seem to work in reverse though03:09
L3topxu34: yes... I was referring to the udevadm info.03:09
L3topxu34: THAT is not what I thought you thought it was03:10
CynepCuponunderstood.03:10
CynepCuponthank you.03:10
xu34L3top: ok, i won't use the udevadm info for figuring out the size. i don't know if that output in udevadm was size related. i think not now. i'm still using the command to figure out if the disk is an ata disk or a usb mass storage device03:10
CynepCuponany advice for choosing the file system?03:11
CynepCuponjust regular everyday use + WINE gaming03:11
escottCynepCupon, ext4 is the recommended standard03:11

Daghdhacan't realy do anything wit that can i?03:13
escottDaghdha, you can match those pids with stuff in ps aux. many are closely related so are probably children holding onto the same file handle as the parent or sharing a cwd03:14

escottDaghdha, i dont know the full situation of what you are doing here03:18
DaghdhaI want to format it03:19
escottDaghdha, but what is on it now? how did you mount it to begin with?03:19
memandor do you have any good references for both unix (spesifically ubuntu on a boot usb) and BASIC03:20
Daghdhaext3, it's part of my system. But it has low performace with deleting big files and it was suggested i used ext4 instead03:20
DaghdhaI deleted all files and folders on it.03:20
escottDaghdha, LOL03:20
escottDaghdha, you know you can go directly from ext3 to ext4 without reformatting03:20
Daghdhauhm03:21
Daghdhai do not03:21
escottDaghdha, and then all you would have had to do was copy the files to new folders to create the extents03:21
Daghdhaormove?03:21
L3topxu34: expr $(udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda) | grep size | sed 's/.*=//;s/"//g') \/ 203:21
escottDaghdha, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html03:21
glitsj16pawan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-manager-says-device-not-managed might be worth a try if you haven't already03:21
Daghdhaok, but i bet the same problem will pervent the exr3>4 conversion03:21
escottDaghdha, has to be a copy. move just moves the inode, you would need to explicitely create the copy03:21
escottDaghdha, not that it matters at this point but there really is only one "ext" filesystem. they can all be upwards converted to the next by enabling features (and sometimes even downwards converted, but that is not as well supported)03:23
DaghdhaThe in thing i always liked about lunix is that it does what you fkn tell it. Like format the root. And now i can't even dismount a disk forcefully. It's like windows al over again :(03:24
memandI have a very specific problem with my laptop and a usb boot drive I can explain further but it's a loooooong storry03:24
Daghdhaescott: Thanks for the info, i will do that next time. Since i already cleared it i will just format it later when i am allowed by OCP03:24
Daghdhaor was that MCP03:25
escottDaghdha, why no issue a lazy unmount and logout03:25
Daghdhai will.. remove mount from fstab and reboot03:25
Daghdhawill that be ok?03:25
escottDaghdha, that works too03:25
zoboomAnyone here know much about the reasons that my Windows partition don't show up in GParted but they do in fdisk???03:25
escottzoboom, i can think of reasons for the reverse03:26
L3topxu34: thanks for making me explore that. We are mounting stuff briefly to get its size. I didn't think I would be able to get it with udevadm.03:26
zoboomescott: When trying to dual boot ubuntu and Windows 7 i don't get the option to "install alongside Windows...."03:26
escottzoboom, can you paste us the output of sudo parted -l and sudo fdisk -l03:26
escottzoboom, there could be something very very wrong with your partition tables. which would be very very very bad03:27
zoboomescott: sure, just give me a second I'm  on my netbook now and making a live usb as we speak for my desktop that I'm trying to install to.03:27
zoboomThat's not too big of a deal it's a clean in stall of windows, everything has been backed up.03:27
escottzoboom, i doubt my fears are reasonable. win7 should notice this, but seeing what parted and fdisk think would explain a lot03:29
xu34L3top :) i think that actually works better / more reliably03:31
Gneaso glad ubuntu provides screen and do-release-upgrade...03:34
L3topxu34: if you are going to explore partitions change that grep size to grep 'ATTR{size}'03:34
L3topxu34: I realize that isnt the point... just saying if it is a catchall sizer... that will have to change otherwise it returns ATTR and ATTRS for the parent.03:35

What is going to be the fastest way to do this?

timfrostHungryMan: usr13_:  a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job needs to be in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d as Sxx..... to be processed by the traditional init process.  Symlinks in /etc/init.d won't have the same effect.  /etc/init.d is where a traditional script would be installed, with symlinks named Sxx... or Kxx.... to start (Sxx) or stop (Kxx) the job in given run levels (the x in RCx.d)08:46

HungryManhttp://linuxaria.com/howto/dnscrypt-crypt-your-dns-request?lang=en08:49
HungryManI  used that guide but I started at creating a user account08:49
EnginAgeirha: well... it's a complicated scneario but, yeah, you are right. crontab is taking backups to /home/backup and remote hosts are rsyncing some backups to there too. so it has to be written by a few users.08:49
EnginAor I should add root (crontab) to backup group08:50
geirhaEnginA: Yeah, use group ownership to limit access only to the users that need access08:50
timfrost usr13_:  I don't know. I haven't dealt with upstart enough.  The naming of files works for the older inti system, but if upstart is processing a configuration file (or looking in a directory) that HungryMan isn't correctly updating, that could be the issue08:52
EnginAgeirha: btw, any sensible explanation why DefaultRoot is not enabled in ProFTPd by default ?08:52

progre55hi guys! I'm trying to write an init.d script. The thing is, my deamon needs to be able to restart itself from time to time, and it issues a command like "service mydeamon restart". However, the restart doesnt work, because it dies after the "stop" phase :) any suggestions, please? I'm using the start-stop-deamon btw09:12

angsNewWorld: thanks11:12
StevoBut it's annoying. It's similar to Windows 7 telling you 'are you sure you want to do this or that' everytime you do something. You can turn this kind of thing off in win 711:12
ActionParsnipangs: you can scan NTFS partitions using linux AV, you will be fine for viruses in Ubuntu as he only viruses are in labs11:12
fabianoStevethepirate, are they same model?11:13

ubottuangs: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus11:13
NewWorldStevo:  ActionParsnip : but you need to supply password for quite a lot of things also. everytime root access is needed11:13
fabianoStevethepirate, then probably one of the models don't support such resolution..11:14
MonkeyDustNewWorld  yes, that is called 'security'11:14
ActionParsnipNewWorld: yes for updates etc, once the OS is setup its rarely needed at all11:14
Stevook. Next Q is what the deal with Anti-virus software & ubuntu. I get the impression You dont need it11:14

StevoOh ok, thanks11:15
fabianoStevethepirate, don't you have any energy supply close to any of them?11:15
Stevethepiratefabiano: this is not an external factor. I boot into windows - they work; I boot into ubuntu, they don't.11:15
MonkeyDustStevo  thanks to the password you hate, you don't need an anti-virus - not only the password, of course11:15
fabianoStevethepirate, are the cables good?11:15
fidel_Stevo: in general - the most dangerous thing around pcs with any OS is the user. so even on windows - being an advanced user there isnt really a need for av-applications. same goes for linux - where the amount of malware overall might be much lower then on windows11:15
StevethepirateThe actual gnome top-bar is failing to render11:15
fabianoStevethepirate, maybe the driver is corrupted.11:16

StevethepirateHello, I have just added another monitor to my desktop (I had 2 - one broke, replaced by this new one). Both are LG's, one's a LED, one's a normal flatron LCD. I've configured both via nvidia-settings to make them both 1920x1200 (supported according to each monitors specs). I restart X (via service gdm restart), but when I login again, the top bar on one monitor (which I'd have the time, user panel, etc) starts flickering, and fails to load. Ico11:22

gaelfxCM-Pizarro: really the best way would be to do a fresh install13:07
Shogootand the posibility to do remotedesktop into it from windoe13:07
Shogootwindows13:07
CM-Pizarrogaelfx: ini that case I will go for debian13:07
CM-PizarroI can't be changing servers each 2 years13:07
MonkeyDustCM-Pizarro  what gaelfx says, is fastest and easiest13:07
CM-PizarroI wanted to give  arty to my current stuff13:07
gaelfxCM-Pizarro: upgrading that manny releases is is bound to run into some serious flack13:07
MerisShogoot, Xubuntu or Lubuntu will do fine then. In my experience, Lubuntu has the most lightweight programs and environment13:07
NewWorldStevemav:  I see that the guid gets fetched every time wine is started so why don't you copy just: http://pastebin.com/TM02FEyP into user.reg13:08
CM-Pizarrook, moving to Debian then, thanks.13:08
NewWorldStevemav:  Put it between [Software\\Wine\\Dotnet] and  [Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops]13:08
MerisShogoot, Xubuntu (XFCE) is more polished, but needs a little bit more resources than lubuntu.13:08
MonkeyDustCM-Pizarro  8-12, that's 4 years13:08
CM-PizarroMonkeyDust: yes it is, and the server has been just stable as hell13:08
CM-Pizarrowhy to change?13:09
ShogootMeris, you mean polished as in nicer? graphically?13:09
MonkeyDustCM-Pizarro  because it is no longer supported, it has no updates anymore13:09
CM-PizarroI want to install Gluster, and is requiring libssl v >1 which is not available in Ubuntu 8.04, just all the reason13:09
StevemavNewWorld: I don't know how/where to paste it though13:09
keirlav87I installed xampp 1.7.3a on ubuntu which was too old, so i uninstalled it and installed the latest version but now /opt/lampp/lampp start gives a message to say that another server daemon is running does anyone know how to resolve this please?13:09
CM-PizarroMonkeyDust: I know, but that is happening with all ubuntus versions, each 2-3 years you have to move13:10
MerisShogoot, if you are used to Gnome2, you can look at XFCE as a Gnome-Light. LXDE (Lubuntu) is a bit different.13:10
gaelfxCM-Pizarro: 12.04 is supported through 2017, but why is it so hard to reinstall? If you set up partitions properly, any server stuff should be kept well13:10
SimonUKDoes anyone know what the benefit of tasksel install lamp-server, over apt-get install lamp-server^  ?13:10
PiciSimonUK: no difference13:10
CM-Pizarrogaelfx: services down?13:10
CM-PizarroI will have people down for a few hours13:10
SimonUKso, on a new server... I have to install tasksel first if I wanted to use that method...13:10
SimonUKso what's the *point* of tasksel ?13:10
dangbarryhey, i'm have a problem with chromium, when i try to use show in folder, i get the following terminal error "unknown mime-type for /home/master/Downloads ". So I went into "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" to try and fix it. I thought it could be i was looking to run nautilus.desktop. any ideas? Stevemav, service mysql stop && service apache stop13:11
MonkeyDustCM-Pizarro  you could stick to LTS versions, they are supported 5 years13:11
SimonUKPici: sorry, I meant to say thanks13:11
CM-PizarroMonkeyDust: yeah, I will13:11
EaglemanI want to run a virtual Windows 7 Desktop which i can connect to and then do all the work just like a normal PC, i believe this is called a VDI. Are there any programs that can do this on Ubuntu Server 12.04?13:11
CM-Pizarrobut I find Debian easier in this matter13:11
CM-Pizarroyou just keep the server up to date and go on13:11
MerisShogoot, what kind of hardware do you need it to run on? CPU? GPU? Mem?13:11
CM-Pizarrono need to switch from versions13:11
NewWorldStevemav:  Open file ~/.wine/user.reg   with a text editor. Find the place between [Software\\Wine\\Dotnet] and  [Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops]. Paste (Select text, right-click, Copy. Then right-click paste wherever)13:11
compdocEagleman, remotely?13:12
ShogootMeris, its a good laptop, i jsut want it to use minimal of electricity13:12
MerisEagleman, try KVM13:12
zykotick9!virtualizer | Eagleman13:12
ubottuEagleman: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications13:12

progre55geirha: so I solved the problem I was having with a script being killed by a self-restarting deamon in the following way:  told the matlab guy to issue the restart command by an extra argument "fork", and in the script itself, if it has the fork argument, I just re-run the same script with no "fork" and with nohup, which means it's deattached from the matlab process before being restarted :)13:14

dangbarryStevemav, sound like you have two instances of mysql and apache running "service mysql stop && service apache stop" then try the xampp again.13:15
MerisShogoot, it just depends on what you want to do with it, I run Puppy Linux (Wary) on my PIII-600 system and it runs quite nicely, on my MacBook 2007 I use Lubuntu 12.0413:15

NewWorldrahul_:  I think running `mount` shows where everything is mounted13:20
rahul_ok13:20
rahul_thanks13:21
MerisEagleman, within those VM's I mentioned, you could run a LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) to act as server for thin clients, if that's what you are looking for13:21
Meris!ltsp | Eagleman13:21
ubottuEagleman: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project13:21
StevemavNewWorld: I have zero idea how to use gedit, I type stuff in and nothing happens. I know I'm missing something but I have no idea what. all this stuff happening in here means I can't find what two thing s you wanted me to put it between13:21

MerisEagleman, You could run a Windows Terminal server within a KVM/ Xen environment, If you really need MS Windows, you'll have some licensing issues as well, most Windows versions cannot be virtualised legally.13:25

StevemavNewWorld: Yeah i can, however I keyword searched for dotnet and it wasn't in the file at all13:28
thonixxhi there13:28
EaglemanMeris wont that cause problems? Since i am virtualising Windows 2008 and then running Terminal Services to virtualise aigan?13:28
=== MartinS is now known as Guest92538
EaglemanOr am i confusing Terminal Services with Windows 2008 HyperV?13:28
NewWorldStevemav:  That's fine. Scroll down to the place where "[Software\\Wine\\Drivers]" would fit in, alphabetically.13:28
MerisEagleMan, no it won't. Because Terminal Services is just another service on Windows 2008, just like IIS or MSSQL13:29
EaglemanSo how do i connect to the Terminal Service on a android tablet?13:29
EaglemanWill it give me a windows 7 enviroment?13:29

NewWorldstephans_:  What error msg does it return?14:01
shuoam not familiar with it... any quick cmd I can type to ignore those messages?14:01
fidel_shuo: use a search engine to check how YOUR client can do that - if it can filter those type of messages at all14:02
stephans_NewWorld, it simply prompts me to try again.14:02
fidel_shuo: we would be in need to query your client-version - an info you have already ;)14:02
BlueWolffidel_: Ok but I don't think it would work, you see when I change the names and stuff it then comes up with the errors and when I click the X button at the top rather than the close it save the song names until it plays the song then it switches back the name?14:03

fidel_BlueWolf: reporting bugs is the way how devs get a chance to even get informations about existing problems - so a common workflow as user should be somehow similar to: realize problem - check if others report such issues also - try to reproduce it - opening a ticket/bugreport and adding as much informations as possible.14:08

Aritzanyone know at which OSI layer ethtool, tcpdump, ip -s -s link, cat /proc/net/dev refer their drop?14:35
linuxsageescott, that streams bytes of data, my guesse is that everything is fine with localhost, might the problem be with IP addressing, ?(I am a complete noob in networking stuff)14:37
nosmelcIs there a way to look at an Ubuntu install USB flash drive and tell which version it is?14:38
ActionParsnipAritz: well, tcpdump will work on tcp (transprt), ip (network), the cat is just the network interfaces themsleves (physical)14:38
escottlinuxsage, i meant what ip address is localhost. alternately "nslookup localhost" "nslookup linuxsage" and "nslookup `hostname`"14:38
ActionParsnipnosmelc: i believe there are readme files which may state14:38
escottlinuxsage, also how did you get into this situation. what were you messing with and why?14:38

escottsphearion, im back to being unsure if you understand how Xservers work. Xservers are backwards, it goes upstream from server to client its ssh:client (A) -> server (B) X11 tunnels backwards (B)->(A) so the system you are running ssh on needs to have a working X server15:02

scrinterlockedI installed Gnome 3 shell on my Ubuntu Precise Pangolin and installed the gnome-shell-extension-weather applet. The location needs a WOEID value which for my city (New Delhi) is 2295019 . But apparently, it doesn't update even after I punched it in.15:52

scrinterlockedNewWorld, well, the app came with the default WOEID for Insbruick for which it shows the information.15:59
scrinterlockedI tried with a couple of others like New York... and Bordeaux.15:59
scrinterlockedBut that doesn't work either.15:59
scrinterlockedI suspect it's a bug in the applet?15:59
fabianoSorry, got siconnected, could you repit please?16:00
NewWorldscrinterlocked:  Do you think maybe that the site it's pulling the info from doesn't have data for your location?16:00

javierf_Hi! Something doesn't work fine in (my) ubuntu (12.04). Quite often, if I try to do something that takes quite a lot CPU (moments ago I tried openning a 32 mb xlsx file) it takes ages to open, everything (musics stops, cursors not moving fluently, can't move normally between apps,...) gets slow, can't do anything and it almost crash the system. Thing is, I understand is running something heavy and the system may become slow, but I don't get the feeling it16:25
javierf_¡s working hard: the fan doesn't start sounding stronger, no more heat... in windows, I remember you felt the computer was "doing an effort". So ubuntu doesn't make it, it doesn't use all the power of my  4 processors and it never opens the file and nothing work. I try to manage CPU use with CPU-freq indicator, but even if I set it to "performance", nothing feels like has changed except the blue lines in the indicator indicating a "false performance". So16:25
javierf_meone understands me and know what can be happening? Thanks!16:25

sstakeirlav87: yes, but that would put the data into destination/dir/dir/16:56

mang0Hey. I've always had a bit of a problem with my WiFi card (Broadcom), but I've managed to fix it by using b43-fwcutter, as on the wiki page about it. However, I've just updated to 64-bit 12.04 from 32-bit 12.04 (new comp) and tried the b43-fwcutter, but it only worked till I rebooted. Now it doesn't work at all...it detects the network, tries to connect, asks for the WPA2 key, and then...17:36

myunghow do i find19:12
myungthe wireless drivers I need for linux?19:12
dg1727_AlanTryingToInst:  based on your comment "my house is practically held up by my internet connection" - rfkill affects only the wireless hardware on your Ubuntu PC/laptop - not your household Internet modem19:13
Linixmyung: Connect your computer to a ethernet cable, then go to additional drivers and you'll probably see the option to download the wireless driver19:13
AlanTryingToInstAhh okay.19:13
AlanTryingToInstDo I send the command via Terminal19:13

AlanTryingToInstI'm guessing I use "rfkill block" ?19:15
myungI cant find additional drivers either :S19:15
Linixmyung: the additional drivers which can be found on the menu or on the settings will automatically discover which ones it needs i they are available.19:15
dg1727_AlanTrying:  to use the "block" or "unblock" subcommands you will need to use "sudo rfkill ..."19:15

drennThanks bekks, that should be enough to point me in the right direction.19:48
Reindeernixboghiu, Oh but Asus don't have them, those drivers are community made but I'll try to find driver for you that you can install19:48

_jdccdevelHi! My video drivers are corrupting the image on my screen. I've filed a bug report, and while I'm waiting on a resolution, I'd like to use the VESA drivers to get some work done. How do I tell Ubuntu 12.04 to NOT load the default intel drivers?19:49
Reindeernixboghiu, what is your ethernet card? realtek, atheros etc19:49
boghiuReindeernix: how can i know that?19:49
boghiuReindeernix: nvidia i think19:49
QtrCan someone tell me how to change my keyboard layout? iot is not the same keys as on the keyboard19:49
Reindeernixboghiu, on the pc with ubuntu write lspci and look for ethernet controller and post what ethernet controller you are using19:50
_jdccdevelboghiu, In a terminal run: "sudo lspci | grep Ethernet"19:50
boghiuReindeernix: ok19:50

brophatok here is the deal. I am so sick of linux and its trouble with drivers. I would be totally ok with it if there was a list of hardware that it works with, and that list was valid and things don't make the list just because it works 1/8th20:00

beandogbrophat: linuxwireless.org20:01
brophatxangua that list is worthless. anything can make that list20:01
BluesKajboghiu, make sure you run the commands with the ethernet cable plugged in .20:01

brophatbeandog anything can make that list20:01

joel135basketcu: remove nvidia-commons or similar if installed via apt20:03
raufxorg.conf20:03
_jdccdevelboghiu, I understand. The problem appears to be that the driver for your ethernet card is not loaded (it should be forcedeth) I need to know what kernel you are running.20:03

zykotick9neros1x: you purged dpkg?21:06
MDGreinThis is proally a stupid question but I can't seem to open the kwallet manager, the icon blinks in the laucher but nothing happens. Freshly installed 12.04 desktop.21:06
boghiu_jdccdevel: wati21:06
neros1xit kept crashing and I couldn't find much on how to fix it so i tried a suggestion i found on a forum to use purge21:06
* Gnea wonders why ubuntu 64-bit has to suck so much...21:06
zykotick9neros1x: did you purge dpkg?21:07
neros1xyes21:07
Gneadbus simply refuses to run right or upgrade21:07
Gneathis is 11.1021:07
GneaI'm trying to upgrade to 12.04, but have to finish 11.10 first21:07
zykotick9neros1x: i'd reinstall, or try compiling the correct dpkg from source.  dpkg does all the actual installing of packages!  removing it seems like a huge error to me.  good luck.21:07
boghiu_jdccdevel: i wrote this comand now and it shows me a lot of letters:)) first line is Link encap: ethernet HWaddr21:07
BluesKajzykotick9, really ?, that's odd , my other pc used the nouveau driver with an 8400gs with 3D and Dir21:08
univacCan someone tell me how to install a tar.bz2 file after I've extracted it ?21:08
boghiu_jdccdevel: second line is with inet6 addr21:08
Gneaunivac: you don't, you follow the directions contained within. tar.bz2 isn't a package, it's more like a .zip21:08
neros1xcan you point me to a good guide on how to go about compiling it from source?21:08
zykotick9BluesKaj: i've never seen nouveau fail in 2d mode, but for 3d the list of supported cards is very short right now21:08
neros1xI used purge because it was crashing and a forum suggested it. probably a stupid idea21:09
boghiu_jdccdevel: :((((( i want enjoy ubuntu21:09
univacI can't find the README file21:09
BluesKajzykotick9, right , I ended up installing nvidia-current on both just to be sure21:09
_jdccdevelboghiu_, ok, what does "ifconfig eth0 | grep inet" show?21:09
Gneaunivac: it might not be README, look around21:10
zykotick9neros1x: am i correct in assuming that apt-get is broken now?21:10
neros1xyes21:10
_jdccdevelboghiu_, with the cable plugged21:10
neros1xit also won't update21:10
ThinkT510univac: what are you trying to install?21:10
Gneagah, this stupid dbus...21:10
zykotick9neros1x: good luck.  hopefully someone else can help you.21:10
neros1xok thanks21:10
univacTy zykotick9. It's to install seamonkey.21:10
Gneawhy won't it just *work*?21:10
boghiu_jdccdevel: inet6 addr: fe80: :21b:fcff..................21:11
_jdccdevelboghiu, that's the only line?21:11
boghiu_jdccdevel: last words Scope: Link21:11
boghiu_jdccdevel: yes21:11
boghiu_jdccdevel:  1 line21:12
zykotick9univac: i didn't find nouveau 3d very useful on the one card that quasi-supported 3d... the proprietary drivers where just SO much better (allowed 3d gaming in my case).21:12
univacIt's not in the 12.04 Ubuntu software centre21:12
boghiu_jdccdevel: with the cable in???21:12
boghiu_jdccdevel: i didnt saw that i needed the cable in what was the last comand ?21:13
univacI'm not a gamer so it not a problem for me21:13
kuulHi, Iam trying to install ubuntu 12.04 (server or core) on microSD card but the installer cannot find the disk. But when I try the desktop version it install on the sdcard just fine. Does anyone has any clue what could be the problem?21:13
univacI have a good resolution for Unity so I'm happy enough21:13
zykotick9univac: for 2d noveau as a replacement over nv has run fine on all my nvidia stuff21:13
_jdccdevelboghiu, Yes, with the cable in. Try this too: "ifconfig eth0 | grep MTU" with the cable plugged in. does the line contain the word "UP" ?21:14
boghiu_jdccdevel:  wait i must plug in the cable21:14
boghiu_jdccdevel: 1 min21:14
zykotick9univac: fyi (besides gaming) unity is a compiz plugin and thus requires 3d (and the better the driver, the faster the interface)21:17
univacok thanks21:17
zykotick9univac: i'm all for free software!  BUT when it comes to graphics cards i will only ever support nvidia 'cause they've had a gnu/linux driver for a long long time.  as well as freebsd drivers (for almost as long).  ati entered the gnu/linux arena with a driver very late in the game...21:19
univacyep21:20
GneaUGH, dbus fails again, I can't continue to upgrade, WHY doesn't anyone know how to just solve my problem?21:20
wNati has an open source driver21:20
wNnvidia is closed source21:20
univacI'm running a core i7 with nvidia Gforce21:20
GneawN: no, nvidia is partially closed source.21:20
zykotick9wN: BUT - the open ati requires non-free binary blob!21:20
univacnote book computer21:20
Gneaalso, nvidia makes their drivers *work*21:21
Gneaoh well, don't have anymore time to deal with this, gotta go to work21:21
boghiu_jdccdevel: back21:21
zykotick9wN: according to the fsf's hardware list - ati/amd has 0 NONE zero free 3d cards.  nvidia through nouveau has "some" (very limited i admit)21:21
_jdccdevelboghiu, and?21:22
wNfree 3d cards?21:22
boghiu_jdccdevel: when i wrote the comand with grep inet it shows me some commands21:22
=== RyuGuns is now known as HipsterRyu
zykotick9wN: cards that a supported through drivers on a gnu/linux system that can do 3d rendering.21:22
boghiu_jdccdevel: fconfig from package redboot-tools21:22
wNi've had a lot more success with the open source ati driver than the open source nvidia.... although the close sourced nvidia blows both out of the water21:23
boghiu_jdccdevel: and another 5 should i tell u all of them?21:23
_jdccdevelboghiu, I think you missed the "i" at the front of "ifconfig"21:23
zykotick9wN: well "open source" ati drivers yes - but they're not free.21:23
boghiu_jdccdevel: and the second comand with MTU it tells me UP BROADCAST RUNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric 121:24
boghiu_jdccdevel: dam i missed the f21:24
boghiu_jdccdevel: should i plug in again and write that comand?21:24
boghiu_jdccdevel: ??????21:25
_jdccdevelboghiu, is your network running dhcp? How are you connecting (i.e. are you behind a router, direct to your ISP, something else) ?21:25
zykotick9boghiu: did you type that in?  copy/paste with mouse wheel from terminals (highlight what you want, that's it - don't click) - then in the other windows use your mouse wheel as a button (b3) to paste.  RUNNING21:25
ZeThomashey, I have in my interfaces: iface wlan0 inet dhcp (+ lines with wpa-ssid + pw)21:25
zykotick9boghiu: mine is UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:121:25
_jdccdevelzykotick9, he's running it on a different pc, and he has to swap network cables!21:26
ZeThomashow can I change this so that it doesn't wait several minutes if I'm not around my router?21:26
_jdccdevelzykotick9, <ouch>21:26
boghiuzykotick9: i am from laptop know but the problem is on pc where is ubuntu installed and i must plug in the internet cabble i cant copy from pc and paste in laptop21:26
zykotick9boghiu: AHHH21:26
_jdccdevelboghiu, are you behind a router? Or directly connected?21:27
boghiu_jdccdevel:  i connect to RDS thast my provider with an username and a pasword21:27
boghiu_jdccdevel: directly with a cable in my laptop21:27
BluesKajboghiu, I suggest you buy another cable and ethernet hub if required21:27
boghiuBluesKaj: but with windows 7 its work21:28
zykotick9BluesKaj: router in that situation is typically so much easier21:28
_jdccdevelboghiu, did your provider give you static IP information? Or are they running DHCP?21:28
boghiuBluesKaj:  the problem i think it is that i install manualy the ethernet controller from my motherboard and asus dont make drivers for linux21:29
BluesKajagreed , but that depends where the pcs are located , zykotick921:29
boghiu_jdccdevel: how can i know that?21:29
zykotick9BluesKaj: if you want to share dsl/cable (unless you purchase multiple IPs) a router is basically "required" IMO21:29
BluesKajboghiu, your nic card is nvidia similar to mine , it should work21:29
_jdccdevelBluesKaj, Is the PC you're using now windows? or Linux?21:29
boghiu_jdccdevel: i have 1 ip ... what means DHCP?21:30
_jdccdevelboghiu, Is the PC you're using now windows? or Linux?21:30
_jdccdevelBluesKaj, sorry, wrong person.21:30
boghiu_jdccdevel: now am am using windows 7 on my laptop21:30
_jdccdevelboghiu, do you have to manually type in the address in windows 7, or does it get it for you?21:30
BluesKajzykotick9, setup satic IPs in the interfaves file might work , altho I've never tried it with a hub21:30
boghiuBluesKaj: it works with windows 7 cause all drviers are instlled automatically21:31
boghiu_jdccdevel: manually21:31
_jdccdevelboghiu, Ah!21:31
BluesKajlots of stuff works automatically on windows 7 that;s what you pay for , boghiu21:32
_jdccdevelboghiu, so you have an IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS server IPs?21:32
zykotick9BluesKaj: if you connect your "internet" to a hub, each connected device needs to have a valid IP from your ISP's network :(  (unless you use a single computer as teh router and to ICS or something - but a router is probably faster)21:32
boghiu_jdccdevel: Yes21:32
bipulecho 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all  <-- i have used this command in PTABLE to disable ping REQUEST now i want to enable it can any one tell me how to do that21:32
boghiu_jdccdevel: i think:D21:32
_jdccdevelboghiu, The problem isn't your network drivers, the problem is that we need to configure your static IP on the card.21:33
BluesKaj zykotick9 yes , that's the obvious choice , and that's what i use21:33
boghiu_jdccdevel: oh and how we do that?:))21:33
univacCan someone please tell me why a .local domain is not recomended21:33
genii-aroundbipul: Change the 1 to a 0 (zero)21:33
_jdccdevelboghiu, most of the time people just assume you're behind a router, which would give you the correct IP.21:33
SteevBanybody know of a simple way to enable 2 finger tap on a trackpad to act as middle scroll wheel click21:33
boghiu_jdccdevel: i can give u my ip correctly21:33
bipulecho 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all   <-- you mean this ?21:33
_jdccdevelboghiu, do you have all the info I gave above? or do you need to look some of it up?21:34
genii-aroundbipul: Yes.21:34
_jdccdevelboghiu, Ip address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers?21:34
boghiu_jdccdevel:  u need those info?21:34
_jdccdevelboghiu, no, but I need to know you have them.21:35
zykotick9SteevB: i don't.  but i have the same problem on my netbook - how to use mouse3?  i believe i use the keybinding instead shift+insert perhaps?21:35

nythrowI'm totaly new in Unity so forgive me... Where can I find opened applications? On Unity Panel - this one on the left?22:48
b0nghitterso i see.. where do i set it manually?22:48
DanTheBeastMandhclient normally configures all hard-wire connections22:49
Nithael_du_LacMine resolv.conf it is been used normally..22:49
ceegeyou get dns in /etc/network/interfaces22:49
Nithael_du_Laccat /etc/resolv.conf --> nameserver 8.8.8.822:49
ceegeadd a line like "dns-servers 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.222:49
noirohow do I uninstall gnome?22:49
Nithael_du_Lacand it is working fine.22:49
ceegeoops I mean "dns-nameservers 4.2.2.2 8.8.8.8" and "dns-search domain.com"22:50
DanTheBeastMannoiro: sudo apt-get purge22:50
Nithael_du_Lacceege: dns-nameservers22:50
Nithael_du_Lacceege: oops x222:50
noiroDan, I tried that already22:50
b0nghitteri think my problem was it not getting dns servers from my dhcp, since its on another vlan.. ill put it on the normal vlan and retry. ty for pointing me in the right direction, i figured it was working fine :(22:50
DanTheBeastMangnome3?22:50
Nithael_du_Lacceege :  ;-)22:50
_jdccdevelAnyone know of an easy way to add a new boot option (custom kernel params) to the grub boot menu?22:50
noiroit cleared 900kb...of gnome's 500mb22:50
nythrowAnd where the hell should I look for the tray?22:51
DanTheBeastMansudo apt-get purge gnome-shell && sudo apt-get autoremove22:51

IntuitiveNipple_jdccdevel: Edit "/etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" then do sudo update-grub22:53
zykotick9_jdccdevel: fyi IntuitiveNipple advice above is good, but will apply to all linux kernels you boot22:54
_jdccdevelIntuitiveNipple, that changes the options for all the kernels. I want to entries to boot an existing kernel with two sets of options.22:55
IntuitiveNipple_jdccdevel: You'd need to write a script to go in /etc/grub.d/22:55
zykotick9_jdccdevel: check out /etc/grub.d/40_custom22:56
Kamrynhas anyone gotten ubuntu to work on an ultrabook w/o losing battery life?22:58
zykotick9_jdccdevel: fyi using 40_custom was a pain - cause kernel updates required manual grub reconfiguration...22:58
Kamryn(compared to windows)22:58
DanTheBeastMansoo.. yeah where does lightdm store it's DE/WM options...?22:58
noiroHey guys, any reason why nothing shows up for me if I try to select Ubuntu instead of Ubuntu 2D? I get the sidebar, but nothing shows up on top. What's going on?22:59
Praxihmm ubuntu 12.04 x64, seems like the first few seconds a sound stream starts, it gets garbled, like its playing extra fast.  then it plays fine.22:59
zykotick9Kamryn: battery life is typically better on windows (due to manufacturers providing MS with specific hardware setups, or wrighting it themselves).  although gnu/linux is sometimes more battery conserving.22:59
_jdccdevelIntuitiveNipple, I can copy the Menuentry section of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom right?23:00
Kamrynzykotick9 thank you23:00
_jdccdevelzykotick9, what would you suggest otherwise?23:01
netw0rmnice23:01
boghiu19_jdccdevel: are u still here?23:01
IntuitiveNipple_jdccdevel: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Scripts:_.2BAC8-etc.2BAC8-grub.d.2BAC8-23:02
zykotick9_jdccdevel: nothing - if you want specific kernel paramater for "certain" kernels...  good luck man.23:02
b0nghittercan i check the md5sum of an iso without installing any apps in win7? i have imgburn and poweriso if they can do it.. check disc for defects failed on squid-deb-proxy twice, but i can open the iso with poweriso without any error23:02

DanTheBeastMandoes anyone know where lightdm stores it's DE/WM options...? I just ran `vim -p /etc/lightdm` and none of those files have anything in them that I'm looking for23:02
b0nghitterit will take another 2 hours to dl another copy23:03
folmerb0nghitter: there are some utilites not requiring installation for win7 around on the net. Other than that, no, win7 can't do it out of the box23:03
b0nghitterok, ty23:03
_jdccdevelzykotick9, it should be fine for a bit. I just need a boot entry to let me use my video card in vesa mode while the devs figure out why it dies otherwise.23:04
IntuitiveNippleb0nghitter: Try this: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/23:05
zykotick9_jdccdevel: well either use default /etc/default/grub option(s) or manage the /etc/grub.d/40_custom manually23:05
b0nghittercool, thanks23:05

Dr_willisdarkfang_,  or do you mean 2 monitors.23:30
darkfang_actually 2 monitors23:31
darkfang_thanks23:31
simplewzykotick9: im using precise and its updated23:31
Dr_williserr.. optmius is one thing.. 2 monitors.. totally diffent thang. :)23:31

ubottusimplew: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.23:31
darkfang_i know..  but not that quick on the uptake sometimes heh23:31
darkfang_2 monitors on 2 video cards23:31
dennisvb2For bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee23:31
Dr_willis2 monitors for a nvidia system. Plug them in. install the nvidia drivers, reboot.. run the nvidia-settings tool, configure monitors enable twinview. restart X server.23:31
zykotick9Dr_willis: +123:32
darkfang_the second monitor was never registered when i installed ubuntu..  lspci says both cards are active but nothing registeres the second monitor23:33
zykotick9darkfang_: sorry i know nothing of bumblebee/optimus/dual-videocards23:33
simplewzykotick9: ubuntu hav 3.3.1 and Mageia 3.3.1 also23:33
zykotick9darkfang_: lscpi -v vga - the -v might be important to show both.23:33
Dr_willisIm not even sure how you DO optimus and Dual video cardxs.. since I thought Optimus was a Laptop Video 'solution'23:33
Dr_willisso somthing seems.. weird.23:33
zykotick9simplew: that's surpising - unexpected.  sorry, i have no suggestions.23:34
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  lets get some basic info.. This is a desktop machine? What video cards are in the machine?23:34
zykotick9simplew: check kernel versions23:34
dennisvb2Dr_willis: bumblebee is indeed only for laptops, I have it on my xps 1523:34
Dr_willisdennisvb2,  :) so you see why i find this confuseing.23:35
darkfang_its a dell dimension from way back..  2 video, one onboard the other pci23:35
simplewzykotick9: mageia has kernel-3.4.123:35
darkfang_onboard is intel, pci is nvidia23:35

escottsimplew, have you run sensors-detect and loaded the appropriate modules23:37
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  too bad the nvidia card dosent have 2 video outs.. then it would be fairly easy. but that nvidia May be so old the drivers from nvidia.com may not support it any more.23:38
kroaken_hello everyone23:38
darkfang_dennisvb2 - the detect does not see second monitor23:38
simplewescott: i did and thats what the ouput http://pastebin.com/ja5myY8Y  is about23:38
dennisvb2darkfang_: oh...23:39
escottsimplew, sudo?23:39
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  if you just plug in a moniotor the the intel onboard video.. does it work?23:39
darkfang_Dr_willis, yes23:39
darkfang_Dr_willis  and winslowzXP duals them correctly23:40
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  so what drivers are you using under linux for the nvidia card?23:40
ldz420Hey I am having issues with firefox-globalmenu23:40
=== lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk
darkfang_the post release ubuntu driver for the nvidia and the i915 for the onboard23:41
ldz420I did a search and couldn't find much on it23:41
ldz420anyone have any direction on the matter?23:41
dennisvb2darkfang_: do you want to mirror or extend23:41
Dr_willisldz420,  so far you havent really given much details. :)23:42
darkfang_Dr_willis - ideally extend23:42
darkfang_(cant spell tonight at all)23:42
kroaken_does Anyone can tip me how to install a usb keyb razer ultimate BlackWidow in ubuntu its the 3 time in a row i get the error_: "(EE) Razer BlackWindow Ultimate :failed to initialize for relative axes"23:42
Dr_willisldz420,  its a firefox extension made by the ubuntu devs to have FF use the global menu feature..23:42
dennisvb2darkfang_: how many hdmi or dvi outs does it have?23:43
Dr_williskroaken_,  that some weird keyboard+joystick/pad thangie? or what.23:43
ldz420Dr_willis: well situation is that when using the HUD global menu bar for firefox it appears to crash23:43
darkfang_dennisvb2 - nvidia has 2 ports, 1 dvi and 1 vga, onboard only has vga23:44
ldz420crash firefox that is23:44
Dr_willisldz420,  check for bug reports? disable the global menu plugin perhaps.23:44
ldz420well I have removed it for now..23:44
ldz420so go to launchpad or is a better place to look?23:44
dennisvb2darkfang_: if you want to extend you need two dvi ports unless you want to use vga23:45
darkfang_dennisvb2 - i figured i would have to use the vga's23:45
dennisvb2darkfang_: oh well23:46
Dr_willis!bugs23:46
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.23:46
darkfang_im sure its just my xorg.conf because windows loads things correctly..  and i can run either independantly with ubuntu, just not together23:47
ldz420Dr_willis: thx for the direction23:47
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  or it could be the 2 drivers not playing nicely23:48
kionI installed 16 GB of ram on my computer, is there a way other thatn Swapiness and vm_cache_pressure  to make ubuntu take advantage of the RAM?23:48

Dr_willisdarkfang_,  perhaps check the askubuntu.com site and give details (lspci output) if you ask a question there bout the,23:55
darkfang_Dr_Willis  lspci -vv shows both video cards have modules loaded  and dmesg shows no errors23:55
darkfang_Dr_willis  - Ok, thanks for the tip..23:56
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  you used the addational-drivers tool to install the nvidia drivers? or is it using the open sourced drivers?23:56
darkfang_Dr_willis - i just realized that its loading nouveau as well as the proprietary nvidia crap..23:57
Dr_willisdarkfang_,  one will blacklist the other. - I imagine you may want to just remove the nvidia drivers and try with intel+nouveau23:58
darkfang_Dr_willis, ok..  ill try that..23:59
Dr_willisI tend to find the noveau drivers more 'crap' :) then the nvidia drivers.. but it has improved greately in the last 6 months i will admiot.23:59
