[00:43] So just "backtrace full"? [00:43] virtualblackness, 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] Stealthy: I would exercize rule #1... especially when partitioning. Patience. [00:44] thanks l3top. So I guees I better wait, even for a couple hours, right? [00:44] Fyodorovna: got any ideas? :) [00:44] How big is the drive Stealthy? [00:44] i did apt-get install gnome how do i switch it when i reboot?

[00:45] I wouldn't wait anywhere near an hour Stealthy. [00:45] Corvus: ah [00:45] Moogs, look up cube and ubuntu, compiz is only slightly changed in the last 2or 3 releases. [00:46] Stealthy: if it does not resolve itself in 30 minutes I would go ahead... [00:46] thanks a lot l3top, I will follow your advice! [00:46] let the cube slide into obscurity.. death to the cube. :) [00:46] cnnx, the login screen has a menu to select differnt desktop sessions. [00:46] Don't be such a square.

Was a bit nightmarish actually. [01:27] L3top, I wondered, what is the DE manager in kde? [01:28] I 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 0 [01:29] mao, echo 0 [01:29] escott: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [01:29] escott: bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [01:29] mao, i dont know what those parameters do. or what is valid for that value [01:30] I am not sure I can answer that Fyodorovna... [01:31] escott: the default value of /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches is 0 [01:31] mao, but what does 0 mean? [01:31] L3top, hehe I have never used kde for any length of time, seems nice just never used it. [01:32] escott: I don't know,you can see the value in you linux box [01:33] #android [01:35] mao, so why is it so important to put the value back to 0? [01:37] mao: are you root? [01:37] escott: well...I just wonder why I can't put the value back to zero... [01:37] L3top: yes,I switch to root [01:37] mao, if it doesn't have a meaning... [01:38] mao, based on what the values 1-3 do this looks to be an event oriented interface not a value oriented interface [01:38] hm, wondering why X would suddenly just stop and boot me back to a gdm login... [01:38] Gnea, gnome-session crashed [01:39] escott: thing is, I'm not running gnome [01:39] but, I will look into it [01:39] Gnea, well whatever you are using as a session manager crashed (thats the usual cause) alternately X crashed [01:40] escott: 8932 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-session-worker [01:40] dbus also seems to have a problem running on this system [01:42] escott: 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] mao, 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] mao, yes. [01:45] mao: out of curiosity... why are you fooling around in there? [01:48] L3top: I was confused by "the value", I think "the value" has impact on the performance of system... [01:49] it 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? [01:51] http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_vm_drop_caches.html mao [01:53] L3top: Just like escott said, it is an event oriented interface, not a value oriented interface...this is the first time i heared this [01:53] L3top: thank you, now i understand it [01:54] note "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." [01:57] * L3top didn't see that explanation from escott [01:57] hello [01:57] guys [01:57] L3top, no problem. i think we all realized it at the same time [01:58] i have a problem in my ubuntu 12.04, suspend mode doesn't works fine [01:59] when i suspend, then login back, i cannot click inside password window [01:59] L3top: escott: Thank you all :) [01:59] then i have to force shutdown and boot again [01:59] rocky, otherwise it comes back?

[01:59] no [01:59] * L3top means can you see the cursor move [02:00] no i cannot see cursor move [02:00] when i press cntrl shift f1 [02:00] i see continous exceptions flowing [02:00] sorry ctrl alt f1 [02:00] Is it usual for a wireless card to experience a severely reduced working range when on Linux than when on Windows?

[02:01] rocky, exceptions from what? [02:02] i have to repeat the operations [02:02] and then come back [02:03] rocky: what is the exact error message you see? [02:03] i am back [02:03] i retried the same things [02:03] but this time suspend worked beautifully [02:04] i don't know what happened it started working in 2nd attempt [02:04] rocky, thats us. we are that good [02:04] unless it is related to no. of applications that are opened when i suspend [02:05] smithw: did you compile this from source... and if so can you look at that source for something real quick? [02:05] rocky, how is the mouse connected? usb? [02:05] L3top, yes, and sure, what is it? [02:05] escott, it is inbuilt laptop mouse [02:06] in base.c can you grep HW_BEACON_FILTER [02:06] escott, is hibernate and suspend same in the laptop? [02:07] escott, i meant same in Ubuntu 12.04 [02:07] in my case hibernate is disabled [02:07] L3top, line 320, it's setting a flags parameter in a pointer to a struct ieee80211_hw [02:08] rocky, no. hibernate writes to disk and turns off the computer entirely. suspend shifts everything to ram and puts halts the cpu [02:08] L3top, it's a long OR spanning multiple lines [02:08] that's the only ocurrence on the file [02:08] escott, got you === RedXIII`Alt is now known as RedXIII [02:08] escott, do you know hibernate is disabled in my Ubuntu 12.04 [02:08] escott, do you know why hibernate is disabled in my Ubuntu 12.04 [02:09] could anyone recomend a good opensource replacement for flash player, i really only use the flash player to watch youtube videos or other internet embeded videos [02:10] rocky, i never use hibernate so im not sure. possibilities might be encrypted home, or inadequate swap?

How do I fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1105746/ [02:11] This has to do with the power modulation... I wondered if it was related due to some folks comments hacking around it for 3.4 kernel...

[02:13] *corrected [02:13] line 320 was hashed out to get it to work in 3.4 smithw [02:13] escott, sorry i missed your last response, could send again, it went up [02:13] Areckx, why would you sudo ssh? (only reason i can think of is that you are using auth_keys and the private key is in /root/.ssh [02:13] rocky, i never use hibernate so im not sure. possibilities might be encrypted home, or inadequate swap? [02:14] escott:: I don't know, usually it ensures it works [02:14] L3top, oh, I see. Should I try the same on 3.2 and see if it improves the working range? Or might break something beyond fixing? [02:14] escott, i don't have swap disj [02:14] escott, i don't have swap disk [02:14] escott, this may explain it why hibernate is disabled [02:14] I sort of figured that ssh-agent would already be set up on a default installation. I mostly use it for git and ssh while developing. [02:14] I'm installing linux on a Macbook with a Broadcomm BCM 4322 (432b) wireless. I extracted the firmware for the b43 module, but still getting 'file not found' errors. Any ideas? [02:15] smithw: I do not expect it would do any damage... I would do it... dont know if it will get better or worse :) [02:15] rocky, thats why [02:15] escott:: either way, I am unable to browse my iphone with usb, for some reason, it worked when I first installed 10.04 but then stopped working for some reason [02:15] rocky, there is nowhere to put your ram on disk. so it cant hibernate [02:15] escott:: so I used SSH and it worked without any problems until about a week ago [02:15] escott, thanks you are genius [02:16] L3top, ok, I'll comment it out and recompile, then.

[02:56] goddard: I couldn't find isn addon on mozilla site, can you please tell me how to get it and install it to thunderbird [02:57] escott: i was and because there is no label it gives an error instead of the size === Guest42032 is now known as DWSR [03:01] escott: solved it... little bit of extra work. have to suppress the error message and then my code works [03:01] so…. i have a very serious question [03:01] 12.04 iso [03:01] why the **** won't the disc image mount? [03:01] i've downoad ubuntu, ubuntu studio… 12.04 LTS [03:01] they won't mount [03:01] i can't burn the .iso file [03:01] Have you md5'd them to check for integrity? [03:02] i'm on OSX [03:02] i can't unmount a drive because it's in used, can i force it? [03:02] CynepCupon, you don't mount it. you burn it directly [03:02] I fail to see why that would prevent you from md5ing them [03:02] yes but i can also mount them to check [03:02] CynepCupon, OSX has a god complex, and things everything is for itself. so just save the iso and then burn it [03:02] the rest of linux distros mounted fine [03:03] sounds corrupt if it can't be burned, try 'burn' (the software) [03:03] but would the website be linking to corrupt iso fileS? [03:03] Daghdha, 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 open [03:03] the torrent, the direct download…. and the studio version [03:04] no, if its corrupt it may have happened during download. [03:04] i grepped lsof output on .mnt/Downloads and saw nothing [03:04] i grepped lsof output on /mnt/Downloads and saw nothing [03:04] avoid the torrent if possible. [03:04] ok…. another go at the download [03:04] i hate this part [03:04] xu34: can you explain better, because I don't think it is correct. [03:05] vook, why would one avoid a torrent if they were worried about corruption... seems the opposite would make more sense [03:05] but not as bad as the openSUSE download, 4.6 gigs [03:05] Torrent files can contain viruses and may be corrupted. [03:05] well i'm on OSX and leaving it [03:05] going to linux on a lenovo [03:05] CynepCupon: if you can make use of wget, do so. [03:06] what is wget [03:06] what is this? lie about torrents day? [03:06] no, torrents are a mess. [03:06] no lies. [03:06] torrents can be a mess, theoretically. [03:06] well torrents download from multiple sources [03:07] vook, and we shouldn't trust git either? [03:07] CynepCupon: wget is a terminal based download tool, just search for wget osx [03:07] apple products are for people who have too much money, and need to waste some. [03:08] L3top 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] escott: who said anything about git? [03:08] think Lenovo will run ubuntu ok? [03:08] wow is like 40 processes keeping my drive busy [03:09] L3top: if i don't suppress error output then i can't cut out the numbers... [03:09] i'm more excited about this Lenovo/Linux combination gift to myself, more excited than a teenage girl at a justin beiber concert!!!! [03:09] vook, both are based on sha1 hash chains.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:09] escott: i don't really care to debate in irc, its off topic. [03:09] L3top: 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 though [03:09] xu34: yes... I was referring to the udevadm info. [03:10] xu34: THAT is not what I thought you thought it was [03:10] understood. [03:10] thank you. [03:10] L3top: 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 device [03:11] any advice for choosing the file system? [03:11] just regular everyday use + WINE gaming [03:11] CynepCupon, ext4 is the recommended standard [03:11] thank you [03:13] The output of my fudesr is: /dev/sda3: 1900 2366 2371 2391 2393 2457 2490 2739 2776 2781 2782 2785 2791 2792 2793 2797 2798 2801 2802 2806 2822 2825 2834 2838 2845 2855 2861 2881 2890 2894 2905 2913 2915 2917 2920 2921 2923 2957 2960 2963 3000 3013 3015 3017 3019 3042 3052 3054 3071 3073 3089 3097 3107 3114 3135 3171 3200 3217 [03:13] 11510 19643 19712 [03:13] can't realy do anything wit that can i? [03:14] Daghdha, 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 cwd [03:14] What is the best brand for Ubuntu in Laptops. Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Acer.. ? [03:16] escott: One is 1000 2393 0.0 0.0 273436 756 ? Sl Jul14 0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon -f /home/admin_eric/.gvfs [03:16] I don't see how it relates to that device. Is that program using that device? [03:17] Daghdha, sounds like you have it open in nautilus or something [03:17] hi [03:17] wired network [03:17] device not managed [03:17] has any of you guys tried working with nvidia before [03:17] ? [03:18] i think i closed nautilus though [03:18] !any [03:18] Daghdha, i dont know the full situation of what you are doing here [03:19] I want to format it [03:19] Daghdha, but what is on it now? how did you mount it to begin with? [03:20] or do you have any good references for both unix (spesifically ubuntu on a boot usb) and BASIC [03:20] ext3, it's part of my system. But it has low performace with deleting big files and it was suggested i used ext4 instead [03:20] I deleted all files and folders on it. [03:20] Daghdha, LOL [03:20] Daghdha, you know you can go directly from ext3 to ext4 without reformatting [03:21] uhm [03:21] i do not [03:21] Daghdha, and then all you would have had to do was copy the files to new folders to create the extents [03:21] ormove? [03:21] xu34: expr $(udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda) | grep size | sed 's/.*=//;s/"//g') \/ 2 [03:21] Daghdha, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html [03:21] pawan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-manager-says-device-not-managed might be worth a try if you haven't already [03:21] ok, but i bet the same problem will pervent the exr3>4 conversion [03:21] Daghdha, has to be a copy. move just moves the inode, you would need to explicitely create the copy [03:23] Daghdha, 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) [03:24] The 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] I have a very specific problem with my laptop and a usb boot drive I can explain further but it's a loooooong storry [03:24] escott: 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 OCP [03:25] or was that MCP [03:25] Daghdha, why no issue a lazy unmount and logout [03:25] i will.. remove mount from fstab and reboot [03:25] will that be ok? [03:25] Daghdha, that works too [03:25] Anyone here know much about the reasons that my Windows partition don't show up in GParted but they do in fdisk??? [03:26] zoboom, i can think of reasons for the reverse [03:26] xu34: 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] escott: When trying to dual boot ubuntu and Windows 7 i don't get the option to "install alongside Windows...." [03:26] zoboom, can you paste us the output of sudo parted -l and sudo fdisk -l [03:27] zoboom, there could be something very very wrong with your partition tables. which would be very very very bad [03:27] escott: 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] That's not too big of a deal it's a clean in stall of windows, everything has been backed up. [03:29] zoboom, i doubt my fears are reasonable. win7 should notice this, but seeing what parted and fdisk think would explain a lot [03:31] L3top :) i think that actually works better / more reliably [03:34] so glad ubuntu provides screen and do-release-upgrade... [03:34] xu34: if you are going to explore partitions change that grep size to grep 'ATTR{size}' [03:35] xu34: 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. === ztag100__ is now known as ztag100 [03:38] i need help i cant see the windows drive on xubuntu [03:38] L3top: it's only to grab the size of the entire physical disk (/dev/sda /dev/sdb etc where sda and sdb might be usb or sata disks) === ztag100_ is now known as Guest94139 === ztag100 is now known as ztag100_ === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100__ === ztag100__ is now known as ztag100___ === ztag100___ is now known as ztag100 [03:40] What's a collaborative note taking software available on linux?

[07:23] Hey all. I've recently built a new computer, (retaining my old HDDs) and I need to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 from 32-bit to 64-bit. Normally I would download the .ISO, put it on a CD, and boot up from that. However, my new computer doesn't yet have a disc-drive, so I'm trying to install from a USB thumb drive, which isn't working. I've followed the instructions on the ubuntu site to create a... [07:23] ...bootable USB stick, and yet when I put USB-HDD in the top of the list in BIOS, it still boots from my HDD. I've even tried removing HDD from the options, still boots from it. I then unplugged all of my HDDs, and POST just tells me there is no startup disk. What can I do? My motherboard is a Gigabyte 970A-DS3. Thanks!

It didn' [07:30] t [07:30] SuperMiguel: -O [07:30] btw , my Google Earth has font problems [07:31] SuperMiguel: -O tells rsync to omit directories when it is preserving modification times.

[07:36] andrewh192 i think you need a vnc client [07:36] ok [07:36] Phiscribe: that and a server running on the box you want to connect to [07:37] works really well [07:37] ah well he said he set his desktop to share, so i assume he has a server [07:38] ░░░░░▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄░░░░░░░ [07:38] ░░░░░█░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░▀▀▄░░░░ [07:38] ░░░░█░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░▒▒▒░░█░░░ [07:38] eXpander: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:38] livingdaylight: not usually. I run both chrome and FF at the same time under 12.04 [07:38] usr13, why do you ask?

[07:45] Does anyone know of an easy way to rip VRO dvd's in ubuntu? I'm using dvdrip, but it can only handle VOB's. [07:46] Phiscribe: without a dedicated server... [07:46] livingdaylight: Doesn't necessarily completely break it but sometimes causes problems. [07:47] andrewh192 if you "enable desktop sharing" you are turing the server on, you need a client on the other end to connect. you probably already have a server, its how all remote desktop sharing works [07:47] how do i fine tune performance watching a video stored on an external hdd connected directly to the router and shared as a network drive i'm running full duplex gigabit ethernet and have a radeon HD 6670 fglrx driver using vlc media player. i want to eliminate video garble when skipping ahead [07:47] Hey all. I've recently built a new computer, (retaining my old HDDs) and I need to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.04 from 32-bit to 64-bit. Normally I would download the .ISO, put it on a CD, and boot up from that. However, my new computer doesn't yet have a disc-drive, so I'm trying to install from a USB thumb drive, which isn't working. I've followed the instructions on the ubuntu site to create a... [07:47] ...bootable USB stick (tried with both UNetbootin and dd), and yet when I put USB-HDD in the top of the list in BIOS, it still boots from my HDD. I've even tried removing HDD from the options, still boots from it. I then unplugged all of my HDDs, and POST just tells me there is no startup disk. What can I do? My motherboard is a Gigabyte 970A-DS3. Thanks! [07:47] Phiscribe: proftpd still is in the repositories [07:47] i can remember the nomenclature in the the latest ubuntu, but it the client might be called "connecto to remote computer" vnc client or soemthing [07:47] cant [07:48] csop [07:48] mang0: Is there anything on POST that allows you to pick a specific boot device one-time? [07:49] stain_ was asking not me usr13, i think he is long gone [07:49] gregcor: Yes, I can hit F12 to select the boot device for that boot. When I hit F12, it comes up with a few options, and one of them has a small bullet-point next to it, to show it's selected. This is always HDD, even if it's set not to in BIOS. If I select USB-HDD from tehre, same thing happens.... === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender [07:50] mang0, you saved the bios settings before rebooting?

[07:52] Phiscribe: gotcha [07:52] Phiscribe: thanx [07:52] Phiscribe: i am downloading Vinagre on my latop [07:52] Phiscribe: I will see if that works [07:52] fishbait: Yes :P [07:53] hi ! i need help [07:53] @mang0: well just thought i'd ask always start simple [07:53] faza [07:53] just ask [07:53] mang0: Yea, that's about it, try dissabling options to boot other devices, that's about all you can do, other than try another USB stick. [07:53] fishbait: Of course :) [07:53] usr13: The only other stick I've got is 2GB, is that large enough? [07:53] And if you pull out the hard drive plug from the motherboard? Normally your computer would then try and find the next available bootable medium [07:53] i cant use windows skype in ubuntu ultimate === ninjak_ is now known as ninjak [07:53] how do i get wine to recognise the 2nd disk of an installation?

[07:54] faza: Use native skype [07:54] kristof: Of yeah, I forgot to say, I tried actually unplugging my HDDs, it just said "no bootable medium" [07:54] how can i get that [07:54] fishbait: go ahead and use the ubuntu software center [07:54] search for skype [07:54] mang0: Does the bios mention usb anywhere? [07:54] and you should be good to go [07:54] faza: sudo apt-get install skype [07:54] mang0: Have you made your USB-drive bootable? [07:54] http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux [07:54] mang0: Some PCs just seem to have a hard time booting to USB, I've had that problem too. [07:54] let me try [07:55] mang0: That is Skype 2.2 [07:55] @r0tha: you meant that for faza right? [07:55] Latest version is 4.0 [07:55] HiddenKnowledge: Yeah. I can set the boot order to USB-HDD, USB-CD, USB-FDD etc etc [07:55] yezzir [07:55] islandmonkey: I see [07:55] @r0tha: you messaged it to me [07:55] ah my bad [07:55] tab === kristof is now known as kristof_brb [07:55] kristof: I don't know...I used UNetbootin and dd, but I can't test it out on anothe rmachine [07:56] mang0: Hmm, maybe you might have more luck with another usb drive or with a usb dvd drive, assuming you have any. [07:56] See http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/skype-for-linux-loses-beta-tag-bumps-to-4-0 [07:56] seeing as I don't *have* another that I can test it on!

[07:56] tab tab tab [07:56] hmm mang0 try that same boot device in another pc if it doesn't work there its the device not the pc [07:57] fishbait: I'm gonna try removing the ability to boot from other devices first, then I'll try a different PC [07:57] yep try em in that order [07:58] mang0: good idea === kristof_brb is now known as kristof [07:59] anyone know an easy way to convert VRO to AVI or VOB?

[08:05] I also had to change some weird boot order I hadn't seen...the HDD was at the top of the list, had to move "bootable cards" up [08:05] aaahhh... Thanks for info mang0 [08:05] glad you figured it out [08:06] It was in some weird menu that I don't know how I got to, but either way it works!

It seems completely random how many times I have to write the command before it works - sometimes 1 time, sometimes 8 times , sometimes 4 etc. ??? [08:12] its 34 bit [08:12] 64 [08:14] user13 [08:15] faza: If you have a 64bit system, you have to install 64bit app [08:15] faza: unless you do multilib [08:16] okey but i didn't see the suggestion [08:16] faza: Why don't you just install it via the software center?

Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [08:19] wait what, i am using skype from partner repo with 64b ubuntu [08:20] Ouch, that factoid's too long [08:20] susundberg: multilib ? [08:20] so do i have to get ubuntu [08:20] faza, to get support here: Yes [08:20] faza: Only if you want to. [08:20] thanks for your time [08:21] faza: Problem is, some of the info we give here will not be accurate for your system. === bryan is now known as cattune [08:21] usr13_: no, but native afaik: http://pastebin.com/TR4KLv7J [08:21] usr13_: but i guess you were talking of something else ( sorry for not reading backlog) [08:21] k i got that user13 [08:22] susundberg: skype_2.2.0.35-0precise3_amd64.deb === ninjak_ is now known as ninjak [08:22] susundberg: You have a 64bit system. Right? [08:23] usr13_: yeah i do [08:24] susundberg: Well, from the looks of the file-name, you have installed a 64bit version of skype. Right? [08:24] usr13_: yes, afaik i hav [08:25] hi [08:26] hi [08:26] low [08:26] susundberg, usr13_: It's still 32-bit, but it depends on the right set of 32-bit libs to get it working on a 64-bit system [08:26] o [08:26] Anyone know how I can delay a process from booting up if it's using a /init.d/ thing? [08:26] unable to mount faza's iphone [08:27] faza this is for ultimate. ultimate is NOT supported here [08:28] no way i can fix it before i move to ubuntu [08:28] faza: /join #UltimateEdition [08:29] at any rate,, as I tried to explain to faza, he CAN install a 32bit app if he gets 32bit libraries for it, (or one that comes with them), which in this case, I suppose it does. He can probably get it from his package manager, (more-than-likely same way susundberg did). [08:29] Some just install a complete set of 32bit libraries... [08:29] they call it multilib [08:31] HungryMan: You can change the order in which it is processed by changing the sequencing number in the name in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d ( eg /etc/rc2.d/S12process becomes /etc/rc2.d/S98process). I don't know if this will affect the order of upstart jobs [08:32] I'll give that a try [08:32] I have a process starting before apparmor, that's the issue [08:34] HungryMan: what is the issue with the interaction between the process and apparmor? [08:36] timfrost: I hope HungryMan let's us know if it works. [08:37] So how would I go about having my /init/x.conf use one of those others? Sorry, I had to restart [08:37] timfrost: That is a question I'd like to know the answer to; If you can change the order that upstart loads just by changing file-names [08:38] HungryMan: what is the issue that you hav? [08:38] I created a script in /init/ that's starting up before apparmor so it's starting unconfined [08:38] restarting isn't really an option as it breaks the process [08:39] ? [08:40] HungryMan: Did you put a symlink somewhere else? [08:40] i did ln -s to /lib/init/upstart-job [08:40] HungryMan: Wait,.... if you put the script in /etc/init/ that's the wrong place, isnt' it? [08:41] should be /etc/init.d/ [08:41] oh, sorry, that's where it is [08:41] how comprimised is a system whose etc backup is leaked ? :) which incldue /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [08:41] I did this [08:41] 'sudo ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/dnscrypt-proxy' [08:41] HungryMan: Ok [08:41] guys, firefox integration into global menu is broken. Anyone know how to fix this? [08:42] EnginA: /etc/password is harmless, but if /etc/shadow has been leaked, you should have all users change their password [08:42] livingdaylight: running latest versions? [08:42] fidel_, yes [08:42] livingdaylight: checked if there is already a bug reported? [08:42] fidel_, checking forums and google for solutions [08:43] if not - and you can reproduce the issue - consider reporting it using ubuntu-bug [08:43] geirha: is the hashing still weak ? can it be attacked ? [08:43] hi buddy can i ask a question for network safety [08:44] fidel_, trying to get my problem fixed but you're soliciting I post bugs? [08:44] who can help me t o secure my email [08:44] EnginA: Not sure what the default hash is now, but no matter how long it is, I wouldn't bet on it never being cracked [08:45] ok, those two are the first things i coudl think of, anything from top of your heads that could be important in /etc/* ? [08:45] livingdaylight: no - i advice you to report the issue - if there is a one which is reproduceable. thats the way how devs get info about nugs/issues in the first place ;) [08:45] apart fro mthat i cant help you as i dont use that global menu myself [08:46] EnginA: Anything not world readable. Some config files contain passwords too [08:46] the thing is, proftpd's DefaultRoot option was DISABLED by default in ubuntu! and from transfer logs i can see that one (naive and harmless) user downloaded ETC backup tarball. [08:46] so anyone have any idea how I can ge tthis process confined? [08:46] I don't think he'd do anything... but... I want to see the odds === Lloir|ZzZz is now known as Lloir [08:46] hi admin [08:46] HungryMan: 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) [08:47] EnginA: Ouch, best not keep backups in world readable directories anymore :) [08:47] HungryMan: update-rc.d [08:47] But the process *is* starting up. [08:48] how would I use it in this case? [08:48] I was goin to try restarting the process with rc.local but it breaks it/ can't seem to get it working [08:48] timfrost: Yea, so use a file-name that will order it...? [08:48] HungryMan: It breaks what? [08:48] dnscrpyt [08:48] and all dns resolutions [08:49] It needs to be started with a series of parameters so that it works and they don't seem to work with rc.local [08:49] http://linuxaria.com/howto/dnscrypt-crypt-your-dns-request?lang=en [08:49] I used that guide but I started at creating a user account [08:49] geirha: 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. [08:50] or I should add root (crontab) to backup group [08:50] EnginA: Yeah, use group ownership to limit access only to the users that need access [08:52] 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 issue [08:52] geirha: btw, any sensible explanation why DefaultRoot is not enabled in ProFTPd by default ? [08:52] I totally was expecting so... [08:52] EnginA: No, I stay far away from ftp [08:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=221667&d=1343026975 [08:53] You can see there that dnscrypt-proxy starts before the apparmor_parser [08:53] well, it's ubiquitous :) [08:54] HungryMan: Why can't you start it in rc.local? === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:55] I can't get it to start and use the parameters [08:55] it needs those parameters or it doesn't function [08:55] what happens? [08:55] no dns resolution [08:55] exec /usr/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy -a 127.0.0.2 –edns-payload-size=4096 –pidfile=/run/dnscrypt-proxy.pid –resolver-port=443 –local-port=53 –tcp-only –user=dnscrypt [08:55] That's what it uses [08:55] 127.0.0.2? [08:55] Yeah [08:56] Ubuntu has a DNS cache on .1 so it needs ot use .2 [08:56] o [08:57] so does it work if you just start it manually? [08:57] nope, it doesn't work [08:57] It only works when I boot up [08:57] but if I do "restart dnscrypt-proxy" it breaks [08:58] It says... "After this you'll have to setup your network connection, changing the DNS namserver to 127.0.0.1" ...? [08:58] That's for non-Ubuntu distros [08:58] Ubuntu 12.04 added a DNS resolution cache at 127.0.0.1 [08:59] o [08:59] Heya, I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, and I have a 250GB HDD that I'm using as my install disk. However, I need to re-partition it; it already has Ubuntu 8.04 on it with a swap partition and a 25GB partition. I want to make it into one partition, and install into that. (I know I need swap and stuff, but you know what I mean...). How can I do this? http://ompldr.org/iZXU0aw is what I'm currently seeing. [09:00] Ignore /dev/sdb. [09:00] HungryMan: Well, it just says: "add this line to your /etc/rc.local file: /usr/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy --daemonize" [09:00] Yeah, that's also for non ubuntu distros [09:00] HungryMan: So starting it last is what you want. [09:00] I've tried [09:00] Last or at least just after Apparmor === sun is now known as Guest75596 [09:01] if I can get apparmor to start earlier, that works great [09:01] I just think you don't have something configured right... [09:01] maybe [09:01] I messed around with it a lot [09:01] Niggers are a plague that must be eliminated! [09:01] if I couuld undo everything it would make my life easier [09:02] That is why I am a member of a forum called chimpout! [09:02] they dont allow chimps? [09:02] compdoc: ignore trolls [09:02] thats jus crazy [09:02] I'm gonna experiment i may get cut off but likely not since it's just dns [09:04] hm did I get cut off? [09:04] no? [09:04] hmm... i'm trying to edit a file on a borked linux partition, but when i tru to sudo-edit the file, sudo gives me: unable to change to sudoers gid: Operation not permitted [09:04] using 127.0.0.1 doesn't work for me either [09:04] hi guys i am getting this error Could not find "/home/tking/Documents". i dont know why [09:05] i cant open my documents folder [09:05] robot-beethoven, can you copy the file elsewhere? [09:06] i need to change it on the partition, since the partition has a borked boot [09:06] yeah, internet's all broken now [09:06] ill be back in like 30 seconds [09:06] good morning! Just a quick question, how do I install library’s for use in c/cpp. I have *.so.o files, should I just drop them in /usr/lib and that's it ? [09:07] and back === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [09:08] Vegetablesalad: I suggest reading a good book on C development, such as C Programming language by K&R. Otherwise you'll run into lots of these beginner issues [09:12] hi 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 btw [09:12] HungryMan: What does /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf look like? [09:13] HungryMan: What broke? [09:13] ill have a look at it now [09:13] progre55: Have the daemon exec() itself instead [09:14] http://pastebin.com/d2iZ2vUM [09:14] progre55: Or fix the bug that requires it to restart in the first place [09:14] geirha, how should it exec() itself? the restart function just stops it and starts it again [09:15] progre55: What language is it written in? [09:15] hi, im trying to compile drivers for an LSI controller but i run into problems - i have created http://nopaste.dk/p13165 with some information, which i hope can help you, to help me :) [09:15] progre55: You certainly don't want the daemon to do anything with the init script [09:16] geirha: the deamon itself is a matlab compiled executable. the script is written in sh (or shell?) [09:16] HungryMan: I do not understand the step to "disable the local resolver" [09:17] I think I may have been missing a parameter in rc.local [09:18] progre55: Ok, can't your matlab program just reset all its variables and such, then restart? [09:18] would i put "restart" in rc.local or "exec" [09:18] i guess ill find out in a second, brb [09:18] progre55: I mean, start over, without actually replacing itself or stopping and starting a new instance [09:18] geirha: it probably could, but I'm not responsible for the matlab code, and our matlab developer is a little stubborn =) [09:19] progre55: your matlab developer is a sysadmin's nightmare [09:19] Hello, i need some help fixing a broken system update. It's my dad's pc which i upgraded to the latest ubuntu version (i'm an arch user myself, so i don't know which release this is) and, well the battery died during the update. And it seems that uml-utilities are causing some trouble. Maybe you can help me through this. === KilleR is now known as H4x012 [09:20] geirha: I know :) he just runs a bash command saying "service script_name restart" and doesnt want to change his code anymore.. [09:20] eh exec didn't restart it === taner is now known as Guest56832 [09:20] HungryMan: I do not understand the step to "disable the local resolver" Because you never had dns=dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf in the first place. [09:20] progre55: Well, you've already discovered why that won't work... [09:21] yeah I'd disabled it myself [09:21] a while back [09:21] o [09:22] geirha: couldn't I start a new thread or something on a restart, so that when the matlab deamon is killed, the thread is still running and starts it back? I'm not really a sysadmin myself, just a java developer doing a sysadmin's work :) [09:22] * tMH is gone. nsf [09:22] HungryMan: What did you have in there to start with? (in rc.local) === bobbyaldol is now known as bobbyaldolAFK [09:23] progre55: You can background and disown it, but it may still randomly fail [09:23] nothing related at all [09:23] <[diablo]> ubuntu@melanibarry.com [09:23] Hey, I recently installed a drive into the computer that was orginally connected via usb... [09:23] creating a directory in ram basically [09:23] <[diablo]> erm [09:23] that's all [09:23] <[diablo]> damn it, sorry [09:23] please? I'm happy to provide any additional info if you ask me to. [09:23] I've installed Ubuntu to D:/ - but accidentally not as a Dual Boot Install (as far as I can tell) - I can still see all of my windows folders on C:\ - is there a way to make the install dual boot, post installation? [09:23] I am having trouble locating it now, was wondering if it was because of some error on my part, or if i am just not looking in the right area for it [09:24] megaraid_sas is part of mainstream Linux kernel and should be available in all current distributions [09:24] HungryMan: No, I mean the line to start dnsscrypt [09:24] kerilav87: muahhaha. It's better that way. :) [09:24] hello [09:24] I wasn't using any line in rc.local to start it up [09:24] geirha: so I could write another script (a wrapper script around the deamon), and on restart, background it, right? [09:24] HungryMan: I thought you tried it? [09:24] nevermind [09:24] gotit [09:24] it starts up throuhg the init.d or whatever, my rc.local wasn't used for it [09:24] oh [09:24] Yeah I just did [09:24] how can i install xfce4 core without applications (after i will install terminator and so on) [09:24] exec "/usr/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy -a 127.0.0.2 --edns-payload-size=4096 --pidfile=/run/dnscrypt-proxy.pid --resolver-port=443 --local-port=53 --tcp-only --user=dnscrypt" [09:25] ill pastebin that next time [09:25] HungryMan: Just use /usr/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy --daemonize [09:25] that won't work, it'll default to 127.0.0.1, which doesn't work for me, trust me I've tried switching to it [09:26] keirlav87: does windows boot? [09:26] kerilav87: no but jokes aside, you can fix it by restoring the mbr with a windows installation cd. google "restore mbr windows". But on the other hand, why would you..? :) [09:26] cfhowlett: that's what i'm trying to figure out :P [09:26] i can add the parameter for 127.0.0.2 [09:26] brb [09:26] actually to be fair i'm quite happy with what i'm seeing at the moment [09:26] keirlav87: reboot. if you get the grub menu, choose windows ... [09:27] HungryMan: pastebinit /usr/sbin/dynscrypt-proxy [09:27] it's just this is my work machine and i'm not sure whether Ubuntu will fit into our AD network ? :O [09:27] progre55: He even hardcoded that command in the code? [09:27] keirlav87: might be that the grub timeout or whatchacallit is set to 0 or something.. [09:27] cfhowlett: i'll try that now, thanks [09:27] HiddenKnowledge: ls -l /usr/sbin/dynscrypt-proxy #Show me... [09:27] ok well it didn't break anything but i dont know if it did anything [09:28] still unconfined - I think I need ot disable the init.d script first [09:28] but guys.. please i really need help with that interrupted update.. [09:28] how can I do that? just move it out of that folder? [09:28] brb guys thanks for the advice [09:29] hi [09:30] geirha: yep :) [09:30] geirha: but I could talk him into changing it a little, if necessary. But not into resetting all the matlab variables, etc. [09:30] supasnashbuhl: What happened? [09:30] battery died [09:31] supasnashbuhl: That's bad. I really don't know. That is a tough one. [09:31] hey, may some1 assist me to remove crazy flickering of an intel gma500 on ubuntu 12.04? =/ [09:31] but i'm onto it.. i just removed uml-utilities and reinstalled. (it was having some problems before) [09:32] progre55: Most languages has a wrapper for the exec system call. I don't know if matlab has that, but if it does, that'll be a much saner thing to do. [09:32] supasnashbuhl: It wasn't a distribution upgrade was it? [09:32] yupp [09:32] supasnashbuhl: It was?... [09:32] wow [09:32] god i love arch for that.. [09:32] arch? [09:32] rolling release is a bliss [09:32] ah yeah the dual boot option is available on restart, thanks for the advice guys [09:32] archlinux [09:32] geirha: arright, let me try googling to see if there's anything like that for matlab [09:33] i tried update-rc.d dnscrypt-proxy remove [09:33] supasnashbuhl: You will probably need to re-install. [09:33] it's still starting up at boot [09:33] salve [09:33] if you're familiar with linux in general arch linux is the way to go. My dad's a complete n00b who can't use a single terminal command so ubuntu was the best option i guess [09:33] !lista [09:33] RoSSoScript113: No warez here!

[09:36] anyone knows how to solve flickering of ubuntu 12.04 on intel gma500? [09:36] hi [09:37] hey i installed ubuntu 12.04 on a new machine last night and it installed successfully but didn't seem to affect the boot loader (when i boot it always boots to windows without asking) so i need to somehow install grub manually. i'm currently logged into the live cd ubuntu. can anyone help? [09:38] amagee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [09:38] also can anyone explain why i can't seem to find a dvorak layout in "keyboard layouts" [09:38] AND arch linux has like the best wiki on earth, and the coolest irc channel :P Topic is: "Arch linux world domination". :D If you haven't heard of it, google it, it's awesome. The concept of a rolling release is just so great. AND there is AUR (a community repo for like every program you could imagine running on linux) No more ./configure make make install. Lol i sound like someone trying to convert people to my religion. But serio [09:39] supasnashbuhl: Don't spam [09:39] :P [09:39] I don't get paid [09:39] there are only four layouts: english {US|Cameroon|UK|Ghana} [09:39] supasnashbuhl: thanks but this is ubuntu support. Perhaps you'd like to try a different channel? [09:39] amagee: You probably did not tell it to install the bootloader to the MBR of the primary drive.

[09:42] kaoruchan: if every thing else fails #init 0 to halt and #init 6 to reboot [09:42] kaoruchan: what seems to be the problem? [09:42] keirlav87 have you tried gedit already. It has some syntax highlighting. [09:43] supasnashbuhl: vi [09:43] usr13: nope.. emacs :) [09:43] keirlav87, geany is nice [09:43] supasnashbuhl: Maybe you need to tell us what you want to do.

[09:44] no i screwed up [09:44] I tried gedit, acouple of little things nag me, like curly brace and bracket highlighting etc, only tiny things but when you're looking for that stray brace it's a godsend :P [09:45] keirlav87: vim [09:45] now i'm confused ...

[09:51] will do guys, thanks :) [09:51] fidel it does shutdown but pausing on the spash screen of ubuntu [09:51] gives the best of both worlds -- vim key bindings and modal editing with emacs power and scriptability [09:52] kaoruchan type sudo shutdown -h now the next time it will shutdown as it should be [09:53] ok rebooting now, wish me luck! thanks for your help :) [09:53] salve [09:53] !lista [09:53] RoSSoScript113: No warez here!

Lubuntu rocks :) [10:08] andrewh192: can you ping the server by name and/or IP? [10:08] ActionParsnip : you know ,chromium takes much of ram for work . but it is innovative work .

Natty is nearly EOL (October this year) [10:31] keirlav87: just type it's name and hit enter [10:31] where are my title bars gone? [10:31] ActionParsnip: not yet. But i have a copy. I'll give it a try [10:31] DJones: out of curiosity [10:31] ActionParsnip: thanks for the help. I jave to run :( [10:32] hazamonzo_: the later kernel may make it work out of the box [10:32] or are you a bot [10:32] can never be sure [10:32] Wug: Nope, not a bot :) [10:32] silly freenode mentality [10:32] why don't you just use chanserv for everything [10:32] looks pretty intense :P wheres my nice cosy gui that does everything for me ? [10:33] ....... [10:33] freenode is such a backwards place [10:33] (I understand why now) [10:34] keirlav87, i still suggest geany ... [10:34] Wug: why would we use chanserv for everything? [10:34] well [10:34] Wug: nevermind, it's not a discussion to be had here anyway [10:34] typical freenode practice is to never have ops anywhere [10:35] Wug: feel free to continue it in #ubuntu-ops or -irc [10:35] I think that may be best at this point, I don't think justifying the learning curve that vim clearly demands will go down well with my boss [10:35] its not really specific to this channe; [10:35] I'm more or less making itle chatter [10:35] Wug: Can you leave this channel for support questions, rather than chat, Thanks [10:35] Hi guys. I'm looking for a Music Jukebox which I can instal on my ubuntu server and approach it from a web-interface. [10:35] Wug: and this channel is not for idle chatter, so please move it to said channels [10:35] ack [10:36] PsychoX75: vlc has a nice webui [10:36] vlc u say? [10:36] i have that installed on my machine already [10:36] PsychoX75 do you want the audio to come from the server or the browser? Personally I use Serviio or TwonkyMedia as DLNA servers. [10:36] oh... the audio has to come from the server. [10:37] What i'm thinking off... is to make my Homeserver a Home-jukebox. [10:37] PsychoX75: or just run graphical apps using X forwarding, the sound will come from the server, but the display will show on the client [10:37] Play music throughout Wireless Speakers in the hosue. [10:37] Xforwarding? [10:37] hello. today i installed 12.04 on my laptop and wanted to play some games on facebook, but they don't work... they are 'wooga' games like 'diamond dash'. on 11.10 they worked [10:38] PsychoX75: yes, it's default enabled in openssh-server [10:38] I dont want to install anything on the clinets. Just a webbased. [10:38] PsychoX75 ah OK, DLNA not quite so appropriate. You want something like... actually, ActionParsnip is already ahead of me :) [10:38] hello. today i installed 12.04 on my laptop and wanted to play some games on facebook, but they don't work... they are 'wooga' games like 'diamond dash'. on 11.10 they worked [10:38] ah [10:38] Guest85560, have you installed flash, or whatever plugin they require? [10:38] *thinking* [10:39] lemme go sniff VLC [10:39] PsychoX75: has anyone suggested mpd yet? [10:39] mpd? [10:39] wa's that? [10:39] PsychoX75: if you connect with: ssh -C -X username@host you can launch graphical apps and they will display no the client system [10:39] oh [10:39] i'm looking for fully webbased [10:39] can someone please help me get my title bars back [10:39] ActionParsnip just answered a question I didn't know I needed answered. [10:39] cuz i want to control it with my Mobiles and Ipads through Wifi [10:40] PsychoX75: mpd can have a web interface [10:40] ScottHarrison: i did. i tried adobe, gnash and light spark. the strange thing is that i can run other flash games [10:40] PsychoX75: xbmc and vlc have web uis you can connect to# [10:40] what does it mean if i get error message 'could not open lock file var/lib/dpkg/lock - open - I mean i know it means couldnt open a file, but why not? [10:40] keirlav87, it's already open somewhere else... something else is using it. [10:40] checking VLC now [10:40] 'wooga' games just load 50% or 100% and stop there [10:40] PsychoX75 xbmc was what I was going to suggest too. [10:41] ScottHarrison: how can i determine what? [10:41] hmm... [10:41] Guest85560, have you got any error message? does it display anything, or is it just a blank screen? [10:41] i tend to check what i have 'inhouse' before installing new things. [10:41] if VLC has it.. i'd prefer VLC. [10:41] keirlav87, what are you trying to do when it displays the error? [10:41] install geany [10:41] keirlav87: may be installing something via apt-get or software center [10:42] keirlav87, you may have an install already running, or two different installation apps running. software center & synpatic. [10:43] ScottHarrison: no error message, no blank screen. it begins to load like usuall. but then thay stop. even after 10 minutes nothing happens [10:43] *they [10:44] Guest85560, sorry, I'm not sure and I'm not willing to let one of those games collect data about me in order to test it for you. Try posting on ubuntuforums.org, you may find someone that plays fb games. [10:45] is there a way to see what processes are running so i can kill whatevers blocking geany?

[11:04] Stevo, you need to use the launcher [11:05] I use 1w [11:05] I think I might be in luck, thanks guys [11:05] I use 12.04 too. [11:06] Hello, 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. Icons don [11:06] can someone help me please, all the title bars of my windows are missing [11:06] Ubuntu will take a lot of getting used to but it's a good challenge coming from only Windows [11:07] I think u should in the terminal [11:07] i'm using linux now because I put myself on a guilt trip for piracy [11:07] DarsVaeda, Better if you go to #apache [11:07] looking forward to legit torrents and purchases [11:07] fabiano: okay [11:09] LinuxVertigo: lots of legit things use torrents === noxville is now known as Stevethepirate [11:09] 'lo ActionParsnip [11:09] Long time.

It comes up when I have to install things etc [11:09] LinuxVertigo, if you use Linux it is hard to be using ilegit torrents as well [11:10] any idea about this title bar dilemma? [11:10] Stevo, better you don't [11:10] LinuxVertigo: log off and on, may help === james is now known as Guest78552 [11:10] okay [11:10] good idea [11:10] brb [11:10] I have ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 on my machine, is an anti-virus for ubuntu can detect virus on windows or do I need to install a special program to search virus for windows files (exe, dll, etc.)? [11:11] how come? I'm the only person that users my laptop [11:11] Until it gets stolen. [11:11] angs, windows anti-virus should be installed on Windows [11:11] Stevo: its to stop things that run on your system from doing stuff you don't want [11:11] angs: If you can't get into Windows to scan, use an AV boot up disc. you can get online [11:12] Hello, 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. Ico [11:12] NewWorld: thanks [11:12] But 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 7 [11:12] angs: you can scan NTFS partitions using linux AV, you will be fine for viruses in Ubuntu as he only viruses are in labs [11:13] Stevethepirate, are they same model? [11:13] Stevo: once you get the OS setup, the only time you will be asked for password is updates. [11:13] ActionParsnip: thank you [11:13] Stevo: security might annoy - but its relevant ;) [11:13] fabiano: no. One is the IPS235, one is the E2340T [11:13] !av | angs [11:13] angs: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [11:13] Stevo: ActionParsnip : but you need to supply password for quite a lot of things also. everytime root access is needed [11:14] Stevethepirate, then probably one of the models don't support such resolution.. [11:14] NewWorld yes, that is called 'security' [11:14] NewWorld: yes for updates etc, once the OS is setup its rarely needed at all [11:14] ok. Next Q is what the deal with Anti-virus software & ubuntu. I get the impression You dont need it [11:14] fabiano: They both support the resolution, and both monitors work when on Windows (at that resolution) [11:14] is there any good app for sistem monitor be presented on indicator tab on 12 lts? [11:14] Stevo: you don't, unless you run a file server with Windows clients or a mail server [11:15] Stevo: mate, there's tonnes of info on this on the internet if you just search for it [11:15] Oh ok, thanks [11:15] Stevethepirate, don't you have any energy supply close to any of them? [11:15] fabiano: this is not an external factor. I boot into windows - they work; I boot into ubuntu, they don't. [11:15] Stevo thanks to the password you hate, you don't need an anti-virus - not only the password, of course [11:15] Stevethepirate, are the cables good? [11:15] 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 windows [11:15] The actual gnome top-bar is failing to render [11:16] Stevethepirate, maybe the driver is corrupted. [11:16] Stevo: so - yes i wouldnt install av-software on a linux client [11:16] Alchimista: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/02/install-indicator-multiload-in-ubuntu.html [11:16] Sure is NW but I've just D/L the linux for the first time & need to get some things off my chest.

[11:18] Shogoot: asking such a question in a distri-specific channel might be critical ;) [11:19] fidel_, know of any channell with that sole purspose? [11:19] Hi!

[11:25] Stevethepirate, ill try that [11:25] If I have a window open showing mulitple folders & inside those folders are images is there a way I can get a preview of what's inside before opening the folder? Like how Windows does it [11:25] Stevethepirate: there is the: Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" [11:26] Stevethepirate: option as well as: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" [11:26] ActionParsnip: so you're saying I should apply the new monitor setup, but not save the file?

[11:28] yes [11:29] Laurenceb: then kill it off [11:29] but im running it [11:29] Guest30683: If Nautilus file explorer doesn't support that functionality, try to find another that will [11:29] i run top and it is using the cpu [11:29] and nothing else [11:29] only system monitor is showing 65% [11:29] Laurenceb, in system monitor, what process is using the cpu?

Otherwise you could try backing up ~/.wine , moving it. Then run wine and it will recreate all the configs maybe then it will detect the audio properly [12:28] I've only just completely reinstalled the OS about a week ago [12:28] but I'm happy to try anything [12:28] Test [12:29] Stevemav: OK then don't do what I said.

[13:06] Shogoot, try Lubuntu [13:06] Shogoot: or server :D [13:06] Shogoot: Lubuntu or Xubuntu [13:06] Shogoot, if you don't need X-Windows, you could go for the server version instead, which has even less overhead. [13:07] I need a gui [13:07] CM-Pizarro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:07] CM-Pizarro: really the best way would be to do a fresh install [13:07] and the posibility to do remotedesktop into it from windoe [13:07] windows [13:07] gaelfx: ini that case I will go for debian [13:07] I can't be changing servers each 2 years [13:07] CM-Pizarro what gaelfx says, is fastest and easiest [13:07] I wanted to give arty to my current stuff [13:07] CM-Pizarro: upgrading that manny releases is is bound to run into some serious flack [13:07] Shogoot, Xubuntu or Lubuntu will do fine then. In my experience, Lubuntu has the most lightweight programs and environment [13:08] Stevemav: 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.reg [13:08] ok, moving to Debian then, thanks. [13:08] Stevemav: Put it between [Software\\Wine\\Dotnet] and [Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops] [13:08] Shogoot, Xubuntu (XFCE) is more polished, but needs a little bit more resources than lubuntu. [13:08] CM-Pizarro 8-12, that's 4 years [13:08] MonkeyDust: yes it is, and the server has been just stable as hell [13:09] why to change? [13:09] Meris, you mean polished as in nicer? graphically? [13:09] CM-Pizarro because it is no longer supported, it has no updates anymore [13:09] I want to install Gluster, and is requiring libssl v >1 which is not available in Ubuntu 8.04, just all the reason [13:09] NewWorld: I don't know how/where to paste it though [13:09] I 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? [13:10] MonkeyDust: I know, but that is happening with all ubuntus versions, each 2-3 years you have to move [13:10] Shogoot, if you are used to Gnome2, you can look at XFCE as a Gnome-Light. LXDE (Lubuntu) is a bit different. [13:10] CM-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 well [13:10] Does anyone know what the benefit of tasksel install lamp-server, over apt-get install lamp-server^ ? [13:10] SimonUK: no difference [13:10] gaelfx: services down? [13:10] I will have people down for a few hours [13:10] so, on a new server...

Stevemav, service mysql stop && service apache stop [13:11] CM-Pizarro you could stick to LTS versions, they are supported 5 years [13:11] Pici: sorry, I meant to say thanks [13:11] MonkeyDust: yeah, I will [13:11] I 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] but I find Debian easier in this matter [13:11] you just keep the server up to date and go on [13:11] Shogoot, what kind of hardware do you need it to run on? CPU? GPU? Mem? [13:11] no need to switch from versions [13:11] Stevemav: Open file ~/.wine/user.reg with a text editor. Find the place between [Software\\Wine\\Dotnet] and [Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops].

[13:14] geirha: 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] gedit [13:14] how can i remove UFW and just use iptables [13:14] Stevemav: gedit? [13:14] that's the one [13:14] Guest41315, UFW isnt running - no need to remove it, but I guess you can [13:14] geirha: thanks for all your help btw, appreciate :) [13:15] compdoc, it isnt running? [13:15] Stevemav gedit [13:15] cool I'm just looking up how to use it [13:15] Guest41315, there is no firewall running. And UFW is just a gui for iptables, I think [13:15] Stevemav, sound like you have two instances of mysql and apache running "service mysql stop && service apache stop" then try the xampp again. [13:15] Shogoot, 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 12.04 [13:16] help me!!

[13:20] rahul_: I think running `mount` shows where everything is mounted [13:20] ok [13:21] thanks [13:21] Eagleman, 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 for [13:21] !ltsp | Eagleman [13:21] Eagleman: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers.

[15:02] sphearion, 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 server [15:02] escott: I do have a working xserver [15:03] Gnea: ah ok thanks; i was trying to find screensaver settings [15:03] How to write a simple script that renames a bunch of files based on their mtime/ctime?

[15:07] but when i connect to the server with -X i echo $DISPLAY and it outputs nothing [15:07] vlc ..

[15:44] ThinkT510: If I tape the "super" key, I get the dashboard search thing. If I hold it down, I see numbers overlaid on top of the shortcut icons. [15:45] if i changed it to wiz:wiz shouldn't that issue a problem? [15:45] Problem is getting them all running together.

[15:50] i have the package i need to install [15:50] oops, sorry, vooze, I meant iwlist. GAH! [15:50] i dont need to download anything [15:50] rez0r: ok, so when you try to install it what happens?

[15:52] hello,i'm having a unity crash [15:52] I 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. [15:53] How do I fix this? [15:54] Is there some recommended standard path for virtual hosts on the ubuntu apache2 package? [15:56] scrinterlocked: Does it work with other WOEIDs? [15:56] NewWorld, I tried with Innsbruick's WOEID. And apparently it does. [15:57] Do I need to add some sort of prefix to the WOEID? [15:57] Hello guys! [15:57] scrinterlocked: If it pulls data for other WOEIDs, I guess use a nearby WOEID instead [15:57] I tried all the WOEIDS nearby my location. [15:58] And I called up the local weather station to know their WOEID. [15:58] I am facing a problem here concerning a printer which I cannot add to system. [15:58] But it refuses to update. [15:58] Could somoen help me please? [15:58] Printer services seens not to be availabler. [15:58] What can I do ? [15:58] scrinterlocked: Find out where the app pulls the info from, maybe they currently aren't supplying info for that location [15:58] unity crashes at the time of bitdefender update, tried reinstalling but still doesn't work [15:59] NewWorld, well, the app came with the default WOEID for Insbruick for which it shows the information. [15:59] I tried with a couple of others like New York... and Bordeaux. [15:59] But that doesn't work either. [15:59] I suspect it's a bug in the applet? [16:00] Sorry, got siconnected, could you repit please? [16:00] scrinterlocked: Do you think maybe that the site it's pulling the info from doesn't have data for your location? [16:00] NewWorld, likely. But the fact that it can't pull out data for cities like New York or Paris doesn't convince me. [16:01] When I first launch printer at control painels it asks me to show a CUPS server. [16:01] how i access my homepage at localhost, i know my ip, my port 80 is open [16:01] fabiano, are you trying to add a network printer or a local? [16:01] scrinterlocked, network [16:01] mencoli, you just type 127.0.0.1:80 [16:02] Ensure that a web server is running. [16:02] or it won't show up a web page. [16:02] fabiano, click on add a new network printer. [16:02] And enter the NTP URL for the printer. [16:02] It should start with something like ntp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [16:02] sorry, the printer is local [16:03] it will host the printer, this machine will host the printer. [16:03] Oh. [16:03] scrinterlocked: Then sorry I don't know. I would try to find where the app stores it's output/error log. I'm not familiar with GNOME so can't help there [16:03] I think CUPS got unstalled from this machine somehow. [16:03] hello guys, I want to see what actually happen when I restart server i.e. in one terminal i will restart server and another tab I would like to see what actually happens during restart.

[16:07] whats the .cbz compression option about? [16:07] KAHR-Alpha: to get the equivalent surface areay, you'd need 4 dishes of 10m, 16 dishes of 5m etc... [16:08] (wrong channel, sorry) [16:09] scrinterlocked i want to access my homepage externally [16:10] delinquentme: a cbz is just a zip file with numbered image files instead (for comic books) [16:10] Ohhh [16:11] so how many of these formats listed under my compression options are for general data compession? [16:11] and how does the .exe work? just creates something I can execute to unzip? [16:13] delinquentme, .exe isn't a form of archive. [16:13] It's an executable. Much like a .sh [16:14] yeah i wasnt sure if it was a self-executing unzipper [16:14] but EXEs can have an archive inside them, just like .sh can have command to decompress an archive inside it. [16:14] exe is an executable, nut not for linux [16:14] b [16:14] It isn't exactly a self-executing unzipper. [16:14] A self executing unzipper is an executable. But not all executables are self-extracting archives. [16:14] =). [16:15] Because to automate processes, they need to be executables. And exe is just one of the executables for microsoft. [16:15] =).

Currently I cannot use SSH with private keys or anything that requires the passwords and keys app. Any ideas? [16:25] 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 it [16:25] ¡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". So [16:25] meone understands me and know what can be happening? Thanks! [16:25] elijah: Generally, run ssh (or even sshd) with debugging enabled, to see why it is unhappy about the keys.

[16:41] Qtr: no idea [16:42] Qtr, linux [16:42] d8bhatta: Ohh, then sorry, idk [16:42] Qtr: ask in ##linux [16:42] Qtr, but reformulate the question to not look to newbie ;-) [16:43] Qtr: check out rasberrypi [16:43] deals pretty cool [16:43] seems to have the bare essentials of a *nix box [16:44] im starting comp sci 2nd year in august and i want to get into embedded systems and i want to learn some linux. guess i shoudl just start with ubuntu? [16:44] learn linux then go to something else? [16:45] or learning ubuntu teaches you ubuntu and not linux? [16:45] Qtr: You should start with Arch Linux, imho [16:46] Qtr: For embedded systems the kernel and other parts are usually highly optimised. You may want to check out Linux From Scratch [16:46] !lfs [16:46] LFS is Linux From Scratch (www.linuxfromscratch.org) - not to be confused with !LTS, which is the long term support release of Ubuntu (currently 6.06, 8.04 and 10.04) [16:46] Qtr: also checkout RTLinux [16:47] Qtr: Also there is a channel on Freenode called #edev which is to do specifically with embedded Linux devices which you may find useful [16:47] Qtr: there's also emdebian (debian specialised for embedded systems) [16:50] hi, what package is libnl.so.3 located in? [16:51] makerbrakr: libnl-genl-3-200 [16:51] ssta, thanks, how/where can i look for that info? [16:52] launchpad? [16:52] makerbrakr: I did it using dpkg -S. There might be a way in launchpad [16:52] hmm, looks like I parsed it wrong too [16:53] libnl-3-200: /lib/libnl-3.so.200.3.0 [16:53] that looks more likelyu [16:53] can anyone please show me an example of using cp to specify the destination directory [16:53] ? [16:53] keirlav87: cp foofile bardirectory/ [16:53] ls -l always says total above the list. what is this? kilobytes? [16:54] ssta thanks [16:54] i have a program that works on 11.10, but its not finding the shared library libnl.so.3 [16:54] keirlav87: cp /somewhere/the-original /someplace/the-copy [16:55] and if you wanted to copy the contents of a directory would it be (cp -r /my/dir /destination/dir)? [16:55] makerbrakr: totl number of filesystem blocks used. How much that is in bytes depends on the filesystem parameters [16:55] NewWorld, don't think is the HDD, I've tested and it's fine (and quite new). But how do I know if I run out of RAM. Don't think is that neither, I've 4Gb RAM, not so old my laptop... [16:56] keirlav87: yes, but that would put the data into destination/dir/dir/ [16:56] keirlav87: In that case you don't need to specify the directory name you are already copying, just the parent one you want to put it in [16:56] ( in the destination section ) [16:57] right, so -r will create the directory name i am copying? [16:57] keirlav87: it copies the whole directory recursively, so yes [16:57] keirlav87: Yes [16:58] is there a way to copy the contents of a directory, but inside a new directory name? [16:58] javierf_: `free -m` the actualy free ram is what's next to buffers/cache . I would check CPU/HDD usage while the PC is in it's frozen state to see what's happening [16:59] keirlav87: yes, but it's probably easier to copy the old name and rename it afterwards [16:59] yeah that makes sense, thanks :) === noone is now known as Guest92339 [17:00] keirlav87: you can: cp -r /from/dir/* /to/somewhere/ -- but that won't copy dotfiles in the root of /from/dir [17:00] Hi, someone could say me why I can't find my usb modem in /dev/ ? The hardware is supported by usbmodeswitch driver [17:02] I've loaded module giving this command:"sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1004 product=0x607f" === ozzloy_ is now known as ozzloy [17:05] what's the site address that has backgrounds and other themes for ubuntu? [17:05] I thought it was launchpad.net, but that's for error tracking stuff [17:06] it was a default main area for themes, and whatnot on ubuntu. [17:06] gnome-look.org andrewh192 [17:06] xangua: kewl [17:06] thanx [17:07] is there a thing like HUD for kde? [17:10] Any idea for a console command to convert a bunch of unprintable .pdf files into printable ones? [17:10] east___: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/appmenu-runner-hud-like-functionality.html [17:10] if i have a php project that I orginally created in windows is there a way to put that directory in www dir, I'm trying at the moment but i'm gettinga permissions error presumably because of the file system from windows to linux? [17:11] keirlav87: is that when you are trying to copy the file over? [17:11] Turingi: It begs the question of why are they unprintable in the first place [17:11] no after I copy it, I had to use sudo before my cp command just to copy it [17:11] genii-around: class notes, paranoid lecturer [17:12] keirlav87: is it readable by all? === bobbyaldolAFK is now known as bobbyaldol [17:12] I think so, is there a way I can check [17:12] ls -l /path/to/file what is output? === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [17:13] I don't seem to be able to copy anything into the www dir or its subdirs without using sudo comman in the terminal, is that normal? [17:13] keirlav87: yes, its not owned by your user [17:13] keirlav87: yes. It's usually owned by www-data [17:13] or root [17:15] in smplayer, is gl-ati fast consider better rendering than xv or the other options? [17:15] when I use the command parsnip just gave me on the folder I am copying from the users are keir keir which should be myself right? === dcullen is now known as register [17:16] ah but after copying, the same command shows the owner to be root root === register is now known as Guest85516 [17:17] the same command but on the dir within www is root root i should say [17:17] in smplayer, is gl-ati fast consider better rendering than xv or the other options? [17:17] can this be changed? [17:17] keirlav87: If it's under /var/www the owner should be www-data [17:18] keirlav87: You can change the owner and group by: sudo chown www-data: /path/last-containing-directory/* [17:19] this is an example of a line returned from the ls -l command after copying into var/www : [17:19] [HTML] [17:19] # by Tomasz Karbownicki [17:19] # top [17:19] html5=\n\n\n\t\n\t%cursor%\n\n\n\t%cursor%\n\n [17:19] html=\n\t%cursor%\n [17:19] keirlav87: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:19] Are there any WEB interfaces you guys recommend for KVM? === Guest29892 is now known as uw [17:20] keirlav87: If you have additional subdirectories under "/last-containing-directory/" use the -R for recursive [17:21] What's a ghostscript command to print all .pdf files in the current folder into pdf files? It's to convert a bunch of unprintable pdf docs into printable ones. [17:21] is it possible to "downgrade" ubuntu to lubuntu? [17:21] Shogoot: installing a different desktop isn't a downgrade [17:21] Shogoot clean install or install the lubuntu-desktop === marko is now known as Kostic [17:21] unless perhaps there's a utility that just removes the unprintable flags from pdf docs [17:22] so the diff isint more then the desktop.... ok good to know [17:22] Shogoot: just install lubuntu-desktop and you can choose which you use when you log in [17:22] Eagleman: would like to know that too [17:22] Shogoot: yes the underlying OS is identical, just the default desktop and apps are different. [17:22] Are there any WEB interfaces you guys recommend for KVM? [17:23] Just installing lubuntu-desktop is much easier than installing a whole distro (Lubuntu in this case). [17:23] coin3d i've found this one so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vG0t25wZEI&feature=player_embedded [17:23] ActionParsnip do you know what output is consider best for ati cards in smplayer? [17:23] Turingi: You need to know the password they used first [17:23] genii-around: I can print it from ubuntu document viewer just fine [17:23] genii-around: the problem is there are hundreds of documents to process [17:23] Eagleman: doesnt look like a web interface [17:24] genii-around: so was looking for a batch way to do it [17:24] coin3d there is also a webinterface [17:25] geobila: the player is pretty irrelevant, it's the output methods and such that you use [17:25] geobila: are you using kde? [17:25] I just opened 100 socat application on my system instead of killing them all individually how else can I close them all? [17:25] IE KILL [17:25] XiRoN: killall socat [17:26] Thank you <3 [17:26] XiRoN: sweet [17:27] ActionParsnip i use mint, but noone in the mint channel knows anything [17:27] Eagleman: really strange that there arent a dozen open source webinterfaces out there for kvm [17:27] geobila: mint isn't supported here [17:27] i know mate but thats not the issue [17:27] geobila: its channel policy [17:27] smplayer and any other player works fine on both distros [17:27] !ot geobilla [17:27] coin3d there are, found this list: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools [17:27] tell me if you find anything you like :P [17:27] Turingi: Does lpr filename.pdf print one successfully? If so you can use wildcard for the name [17:27] !ot | geobilla [17:27] geobilla: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:28] genii-around: I have no physical printer attached [17:28] Salut [17:28] smplayer and any other player works fine on both distros [17:28] Eagleman: yea i know that list, but most of them are either closed source or even commercial [17:29] geobila: you can keep saying that, but that doesn't make Mint supported here. try ##linux for distribution-agnostic support. here you get support if you're using Ubuntu [17:29] geobila: they work in fedora too, doesn't mean its supported here [17:29] Turingi: So when you are "printing" them from document viewer, it is to where? [17:29] genii-around: printing to a pdf file [17:30] https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reda-Bousserhane/184368414952245 [17:30] https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reda-Bousserhane/184368414952245 [17:30] reda: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:30] https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reda-Bousserhane/184368414952245 [17:30] Turingi: So you probably need to use pdfcrack [17:30] is ia32-libs important for wine in ubuntu 64 bit installation to run games?

Everything I find shows instructions using Gnome [17:31] *12.04, not 120.04 [17:31] anyone using powerdns? [17:31] killer: just install wine and and the required packages will be installed, on any arch [17:31] genii-around: slide my client some lubricant oil or something please, so it doesn't take me half a minute to set up a ban ;( [17:32] dougb: I think its usually application specific [17:32] and is so have you ever implimented a filtering system with it. [17:32] maybe not though [17:32] dougb, many applications look at (ftp|http)(s)_proxy environment variables [17:32] Eagleman: do you use libvirt? [17:32] that was gonna be my other guess ... environment variables [17:32] coin3d no idea [17:32] in ubuntu 32bit some apps worked flawlessly but it is not the case in 64 bit thatz why i m asking:ActionParsnip [17:33] i'm just looking for some web interfaces for when i am gonna switch to kvm, i am currently using virtualbox [17:33] ok, i'll look into http_proxy. one guide said to type in 'export http_proxy' and it's supposed to show your settings, but nothing happened [17:33] i know for a fact i'm running through a proxy, because when i installed ubuntu i inputed the information [17:34] Im trying to watch a movie on youtube but it says I need to install HAL [17:34] I did sudo apt-get install hal but it isnt working [17:34] ahh i found it, it was in /etc/apt/apt.conf [17:34] dougb, the syntax is export http_proxy="http://whatever:port" [17:34] Jul 23 16:52:02 i want to change the update time... i installed cron-apt but now i have 2 times the update... my question is, where can i change my daily update time? ... maybe i missed an answer? [17:36] Hey. 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] ...doesn't connect. What can I do? [17:37] mang0: what if you run: sudo modprobe b43 [17:37] Turingi: Alternately set up cups-pdf driver for a virtual printer that just prints to pdf files, then use the lpr filename / lpr * method [17:37] So when learning linux, what should I learn? I want to get into embedded systems later in my education and i start by learning linux. So first I learn just using it obv. But then what do you suggest? [17:37] ActionParsnip: Gimme a moment, the computer is upstairs and my closest comp with net is downstairs :P [17:37] Qtr: just use the OS for now [17:38] Qtr setup a server with several things [17:38] a website, storage [17:38] ActionParsnip: Nothing happens. [17:39] mang0: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see networks? [17:39] Qtr: not really a question specific to Ubuntu support, so offtopic in this channel.

[17:40] ActionParsnip: Yeah I do [17:41] Qtr: If your goal is to design and use embedded Linux systems, I recomment to visit the #edev channel as I mentioned previously, that is specifically what that channel is for [17:41] Bleh, typos [17:41] mang0: then run: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null [17:41] mang0: it will load at boot :) [17:42] ActionParsnip: Oh, really? Neat, thankyou [17:43] hello guys, i have a question. is there any way to turn off the trackpad on my laptop? [17:46] on vmware, should i run 32bit or 64bit ubuntu if i have 64bit win7? [17:46] Is there any benefit of using the VMware client from VMware.com over the apt version? [17:46] Qtr: depends on how much memory you want to assign to it [17:47] I'm on 12.04 ubuntu.. [17:47] They look like the same version numbers. [17:48] I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 precise pangolin and my 5.1 channel audio system isn't working. It only works with the front left and front right speakers. [17:48] How do I solve it?

Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [18:03] ActionParsnip: Oh right. No, it doesn't [18:03] mbalmer: but for some reason it seems to not be reading the file into the sudoers.d directory [18:03] thanks parsnip [18:03] Kalavera, and if you chmod 770 /etc/sudoers.d ?

[19:13] Do I send the command via Terminal [19:13] But you will need to open a terminal window in order to issue an "rfkill" command [19:13] Okay.

[19:14] AlanTrying: there is some very short help text at "rfkill help" [19:15] Linix, i have crunchbang and I'm pretty new to this [19:15] I'm guessing I use "rfkill block" ? [19:15] I cant find additional drivers either :S [19:15] myung: 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.

[20:00] ok 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 1/8th [20:00] boghiu:: Ubuntu only lacs the roprietary GPU drivers, while Windows lacks almost everything. [20:00] genii-around: The add-on causing the crash is "Global Menu Integration" from ubuntu unity.

[20:01] Galvatron: I have a A6 APU and WIndows did not have a lan driver but all linuxs I have tried have it [20:01] boghiu, for me it's the reverse, I have to install ethernet driver on windows 7 [20:01] brophat: linuxwireless.org [20:01] xangua that list is worthless. anything can make that list [20:01] boghiu, make sure you run the commands with the ethernet cable plugged in . [20:01] genii-around: That means no heads-up display for me. [20:01] brophat: that lists what works [20:01] beandog anything can make that list [20:01] brophat: um, no. [20:01] Reindeernix: same for me. [20:01] <_jdccdevel> boghiu: Your network driver is only in kernel 3.2+ can you run "uname -a" and post the result pls? [20:02] brophat: if you want things to work, you're going to do due diligence and research. if you just want to complain and not try, then it won't work. your choice.

[20:03] brophat: you'll have to find a local store, as in, not a chain [20:03] beandog ok [20:03] will do [20:03] good luck [20:03] boghiu, then the information you are giving us isn't valid , it has to have the cable plugged in in order to test the commands [20:03] thanks [20:03] basketcu: remove nvidia-commons or similar if installed via apt [20:03] xorg.conf [20:03] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, 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. [20:04] brophat: Do you already have a Wi-Fi adapter, or you' just plan on getting one?

[20:06] Galvantron yeah been doing that [20:06] well, leave the cable plugged in and type this in the terminal, ifconfig [20:06] basketcu: if uninstalling is an issue, you could just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the drivers from there [20:06] boghiu,^ [20:06] _jdccdevel: and now? [20:07] brophat: Ubuntu 12.04?

Now, with the cable plugged in, can you type "sudo ifup eth0" [20:20] boghiu, well ,you should [20:20] brophat, Yes, but it's shorter so it will fit in a slim case [20:20] RedLance but it will fit into the slot [20:20] _jdccdevel: ok but wait i will be disconnected now i will reconnect after that ok?

[20:49] ok [20:49] _jdccdevel, I suggested he boot in with his ubuntu cd with cable plufgged in and update and upgrade [20:50] i the same yorick [20:50] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, the problem is that ifup doesn't know about the eth0 interface. It's not in the interfaces file. [20:50] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, all he needs to do is add "auto eth0" to the bottom [20:51] I'll at least report it [20:51] but how to proceed? [20:51] the kernel didn't load the nic driver , I siuspect , _jdccdevel [20:51] oh, the report collecting crashed [20:51] yorick: I had plenty of issues upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04. I finally just did a fresh install of 12.04 [20:52] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, It did, I checked that first. eth0 is there, and the driver "forcedeth" is loaded [20:52] I also can't connect my wifi to any outside network, tried already some methods, but it never seems to work; either iw or dhclient 'hangs' (gives me a blank line with nothing else to do then ctrl-C [20:52] _jdccdevel, you mean /etc/network/interfaces file ? [20:52] How do i connect to a KVM machine? [20:52] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, yes [20:52] yorick: maybe there's something wrong with the .deb file. you could remove it and try again: "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown_0.7~beta2ubuntu8_amd64.deb" [20:52] no auto eth0 ? _jdccdevel [20:53] can anyone suggest a good screencasting tool for ubuntu 12.04 ? [20:54] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, nothing at all in interfaces about eth0. "cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep eth0" returns nothing [20:54] Re, anybody have an experience here with building customized server installation cd-s? [20:54] _jdccdevel, I'll bet the interfaces file didn't get written during the install because there was no cable connected to the internet [20:54] I'm aware of gtk-recordmydesktop and istanbul ... but anything newer / maintained? [20:54] joel135: how could that have happened? [20:55] BluesKaj: done when i wrote the comand with udate all failed [20:55] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, it's still there for lo [20:55] yorick: some error while downloading, bad hard drive ... it should be possible [20:55] joel135: I guess I'll move over some files before I try again or else do a fresh install [20:55] _jdccdevel: that method doesnt work [20:56] BluesKaj: and with upgrade 0 to upgrade ... [20:56] http://pastie.org/4308369 <-- the report went on to fail some more [20:56] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, try these commands (everything after the colon) [20:56] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, 1: sudo bash [20:56] I never understand why they claim linux is the most stable system....I am running ubuntu and it seems to be crashing approximately once a day...thats not stable in my optic... [20:56] boghiu, was there an internet connection with ubuntu cd ? [20:57] my system does not crash [20:57] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, 2: echo "auto eth0" >> /etc/network/interfaces [20:57] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, 3: exit [20:57] BluesKaj: i plugged the internet cable and done what u told me and doesn work i recived some messages with failed [20:57] _jdccdevel: DOING NOW [20:57] diverdude: usage has a big impact [20:57] <_jdccdevel> boghiu: Now run "sudo ifup eth0" [20:58] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, with the cable plugged in for the ifup command [20:58] _jdccdevel: OK [20:59] "Your system could be in an unusable state" [20:59] why thanks upgrade process === manu is now known as Guest84372 [21:00] are there any linux distro that supports nvidia optimus cards? [21:01] diverdude: not really, optimus isn't well supported in linux [21:02] diverdude: nvidia are to thank for that [21:02] diverdude, you could use bumblebee on Ubuntu though [21:02] Last time I used bumblebee it actually worked great [21:02] diverdude, the dual level gpus , there's aworkaround , but mostly ends up with one gpu or the other disabled [21:03] Reindeernix: i tried that...that does not allow me to use splitscreen [21:03] yay, grub failed to upgrade too [21:03] yorick: try "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if it has any errors [21:03] I don't think there is any open-source drivers for nvidia === Robert_ is now known as Guest70981 [21:03] diverdude, I see >.< [21:03] univac: nouveau [21:03] nouveau? [21:03] univac: it's ati/amd that doesn't have free drivers [21:04] k [21:04] univac: nouveau is an attempt to create open/free drivers for nvidia [21:04] _jdccdevel: back ... when i wrote the ifup comand it told me ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [21:04] !nouveau [21:04] nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. [21:04] thanks zykotick9 [21:04] actually nouveau works quite well on some nvidia cards , my old 7600gt included [21:05] BluesKaj: but no 3d on others :( like my 8800. univac [21:05] Can anyone help me install synaptics-dpkg? I purged it because it was crashing, but now I don't know how to get it back [21:06] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, To confirm, you get output if you run "sudo ifconfig eth0" right? [21:06] neros1x: you purged dpkg? [21:06] This 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] _jdccdevel: wati [21:06] it 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 purge [21:06] * Gnea wonders why ubuntu 64-bit has to suck so much... [21:07] neros1x: did you purge dpkg? [21:07] yes [21:07] dbus simply refuses to run right or upgrade [21:07] this is 11.10 [21:07] I'm trying to upgrade to 12.04, but have to finish 11.10 first [21:07] neros1x: 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] _jdccdevel: i wrote this comand now and it shows me a lot of letters:)) first line is Link encap: ethernet HWaddr [21:08] zykotick9, really ?, that's odd , my other pc used the nouveau driver with an 8400gs with 3D and Dir [21:08] Can someone tell me how to install a tar.bz2 file after I've extracted it ? [21:08] _jdccdevel: second line is with inet6 addr [21:08] univac: you don't, you follow the directions contained within. tar.bz2 isn't a package, it's more like a .zip [21:08] can you point me to a good guide on how to go about compiling it from source? [21:08] BluesKaj: i've never seen nouveau fail in 2d mode, but for 3d the list of supported cards is very short right now [21:09] I used purge because it was crashing and a forum suggested it. probably a stupid idea [21:09] _jdccdevel: :((((( i want enjoy ubuntu [21:09] I can't find the README file [21:09] zykotick9, right , I ended up installing nvidia-current on both just to be sure [21:09] <_jdccdevel> boghiu_, ok, what does "ifconfig eth0 | grep inet" show? [21:10] univac: it might not be README, look around [21:10] neros1x: am i correct in assuming that apt-get is broken now? [21:10] yes [21:10] <_jdccdevel> boghiu_, with the cable plugged [21:10] it also won't update [21:10] univac: what are you trying to install? [21:10] gah, this stupid dbus... [21:10] neros1x: good luck. hopefully someone else can help you. [21:10] ok thanks [21:10] Ty zykotick9. It's to install seamonkey. [21:10] why won't it just *work*? [21:11] _jdccdevel: inet6 addr: fe80: :21b:fcff.................. [21:11] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, that's the only line? [21:11] _jdccdevel: last words Scope: Link [21:11] _jdccdevel: yes [21:12] _jdccdevel: 1 line [21:12] univac: 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] It's not in the 12.04 Ubuntu software centre [21:12] _jdccdevel: with the cable in??? [21:13] _jdccdevel: i didnt saw that i needed the cable in what was the last comand ? [21:13] I'm not a gamer so it not a problem for me [21:13] Hi, 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] I have a good resolution for Unity so I'm happy enough [21:13] univac: for 2d noveau as a replacement over nv has run fine on all my nvidia stuff [21:14] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, 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] _jdccdevel: wait i must plug in the cable [21:14] _jdccdevel: 1 min [21:17] univac: fyi (besides gaming) unity is a compiz plugin and thus requires 3d (and the better the driver, the faster the interface) [21:17] ok thanks [21:19] univac: 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... [21:20] yep [21:20] UGH, dbus fails again, I can't continue to upgrade, WHY doesn't anyone know how to just solve my problem? [21:20] ati has an open source driver [21:20] nvidia is closed source [21:20] I'm running a core i7 with nvidia Gforce [21:20] wN: no, nvidia is partially closed source. [21:20] wN: BUT - the open ati requires non-free binary blob! [21:20] note book computer [21:21] also, nvidia makes their drivers *work* [21:21] oh well, don't have anymore time to deal with this, gotta go to work [21:21] _jdccdevel: back [21:21] wN: 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) [21:22] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, and? [21:22] free 3d cards? [21:22] _jdccdevel: when i wrote the comand with grep inet it shows me some commands === RyuGuns is now known as HipsterRyu [21:22] wN: cards that a supported through drivers on a gnu/linux system that can do 3d rendering. [21:22] _jdccdevel: fconfig from package redboot-tools [21:23] i'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 water [21:23] _jdccdevel: and another 5 should i tell u all of them? [21:23] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, I think you missed the "i" at the front of "ifconfig" [21:23] wN: well "open source" ati drivers yes - but they're not free. [21:24] _jdccdevel: and the second comand with MTU it tells me UP BROADCAST RUNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric 1 [21:24] _jdccdevel: dam i missed the f [21:24] _jdccdevel: should i plug in again and write that comand? [21:25] _jdccdevel: ?????? [21:25] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, is your network running dhcp? How are you connecting (i.e. are you behind a router, direct to your ISP, something else) ? [21:25] boghiu: 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. RUNNING [21:25] hey, I have in my interfaces: iface wlan0 inet dhcp (+ lines with wpa-ssid + pw) [21:25] boghiu: mine is UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [21:26] <_jdccdevel> zykotick9, he's running it on a different pc, and he has to swap network cables! [21:26] how can I change this so that it doesn't wait several minutes if I'm not around my router? [21:26] <_jdccdevel> zykotick9, [21:26] zykotick9: 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 laptop [21:26] boghiu: AHHH [21:27] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, are you behind a router? Or directly connected? [21:27] _jdccdevel: i connect to RDS thast my provider with an username and a pasword [21:27] _jdccdevel: directly with a cable in my laptop [21:27] boghiu, I suggest you buy another cable and ethernet hub if required [21:28] BluesKaj: but with windows 7 its work [21:28] BluesKaj: router in that situation is typically so much easier [21:28] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, did your provider give you static IP information? Or are they running DHCP? [21:29] BluesKaj: the problem i think it is that i install manualy the ethernet controller from my motherboard and asus dont make drivers for linux [21:29] agreed , but that depends where the pcs are located , zykotick9 [21:29] _jdccdevel: how can i know that? [21:29] BluesKaj: if you want to share dsl/cable (unless you purchase multiple IPs) a router is basically "required" IMO [21:29] boghiu, your nic card is nvidia similar to mine , it should work [21:29] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, Is the PC you're using now windows? or Linux? [21:30] _jdccdevel: i have 1 ip ... what means DHCP? [21:30] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, Is the PC you're using now windows? or Linux? [21:30] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, sorry, wrong person. [21:30] _jdccdevel: now am am using windows 7 on my laptop [21:30] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, do you have to manually type in the address in windows 7, or does it get it for you? [21:30] zykotick9, setup satic IPs in the interfaves file might work , altho I've never tried it with a hub [21:31] BluesKaj: it works with windows 7 cause all drviers are instlled automatically [21:31] _jdccdevel: manually [21:31] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, Ah! [21:32] lots of stuff works automatically on windows 7 that;s what you pay for , boghiu [21:32] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, so you have an IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS server IPs? [21:32] BluesKaj: 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] _jdccdevel: Yes [21:32] echo 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 that [21:32] _jdccdevel: i think:D [21:33] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, The problem isn't your network drivers, the problem is that we need to configure your static IP on the card. [21:33] zykotick9 yes , that's the obvious choice , and that's what i use [21:33] _jdccdevel: oh and how we do that?:)) [21:33] Can someone please tell me why a .local domain is not recomended [21:33] bipul: Change the 1 to a 0 (zero) [21:33] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, most of the time people just assume you're behind a router, which would give you the correct IP. [21:33] anybody know of a simple way to enable 2 finger tap on a trackpad to act as middle scroll wheel click [21:33] _jdccdevel: i can give u my ip correctly [21:33] echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all <-- you mean this ? [21:34] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, do you have all the info I gave above? or do you need to look some of it up? [21:34] bipul: Yes. [21:34] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, Ip address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers? [21:34] _jdccdevel: u need those info? [21:35] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, no, but I need to know you have them. [21:35] SteevB: 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? [21:36] _jdccdevel: i have the ip the rest i dont know how to get them [21:36] genii-around, echo "net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf <-- and what this command do ? === stefano is now known as Guest34920 [21:37] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, on your windows 7 box, open a command prompt (win-r, type cmd) then type "ipconfig /all" in the dos box [21:37] ok === groupcat is now known as purplepeopleeate === purplepeopleeate is now known as groupcat [21:37] _jdccdevel: done [21:37] bipul: That puts the default state after boot [21:38] bipul: The other command changes the default state as it is running [21:38] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, ok you should see values for "netmask" and dns servers (or nameservers) [21:38] _jdccdevel: i see my ip dns servers and wait ... [21:38] ok [21:38] _jdccdevel: if you need to give windows specific instructions/help - could you do it in PM perhaps? (i don't want to set you to /ignore 'cause you are a helper - but your giving MS specific steps!?! [21:38] <_jdccdevel> boghiu, you should also see "default gateway" [21:39] <_jdccdevel> zykotic9, k [21:40] _jdccdevel: ok i see them what now? [22:02] hi guys i am trying to increase the size of the gnome top bar [22:02] hey guys i am trying to increase the size of the gnome top bar ... but i cannot find it ... [22:03] hi all hope some one can help me. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and every thing went well but now i can not see the mouse courser === LordOfTime is now known as TheLordOfTime [22:06] ikvenica [22:06] @weather Crikvenica [22:07] how does one add shell bash to a new ubuntu user? [22:08] any one able to help???? [22:08] hi all I am tring to upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10 and when I try to boot the iso from disk i don't seem to be able to get past the ubuntu splash screen on the 64 bit iso . has anyone else experienced this [22:08] jparker: Do you mean set 'bash' as a user's default shell? [22:08] yes [22:08] I added a new user and it doesnt appear to have it [22:08] hi all hope some one can help me. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and every thing went well but now i can not see the mouse courser [22:09] jparker: the shell is specified in the /etc/passwd file, on the line for the user account. e.g. "tj:x:1000:1000:TJ,,,:/home/tj:/bin/bash" [22:10] hi,guys [22:10] hola [22:10] jparker: You would use "sudo usermod --shell /bin/bash tj" in the example above to change it [22:11] ahh okay [22:11] just changed it [22:11] thanks a ton! [22:11] yay! [22:11] jparker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:11] :) [22:11] jparker: how did you add the user? useradd? use adduser and things should be pretty "default" ubuntu user settings... === dani is now known as Guest7058 [22:11] what is the name of the bynary of system tools? [22:12] I just did a adduser [22:12] it didnt even create a userfolder [22:12] jparker: that's funny - adduser i'd except to have bash as default? [22:12] Hi everyone ... Just a simple question - is it possible to deploy WINDOWS SERVERS inside of an UBUNTU CLOUD? [22:12] passwd file had /bin/sh [22:14] jparker: I think you used "useradd" not "adduser" [22:14] thanks for the help guys i will go with another OS [22:15] got kubuntu working fantastically, thanks for all the help :) [22:16] last try is there a fix for not being able to see the mouse pointer in Ubuntu 12.04 [22:16] Fusion_: in terminal or graph? [22:16] graphic [22:17] one sec plz.. [22:18] Fusion_: Have you tryed to use Gnome Tweak Tool for changing the mouse and themes stuffs? [22:18] maybe will work.; [22:19] not yet i have installed Gnome 3 on to the pc to see if that would fix it but no luck [22:20] has anyone had the issue where xchat shows the dialog boxes each time you start it even if you check the boxes not to do it [22:20] Getting it now will let you know how i go [22:20] Fusion_: Maybe it is a bug related to the themes used... The pointer appears over SOME surfaces? Or it is completely gone? [22:20] completley gone [22:20] hi all , im back , about tring to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, both versions are 64 bit but when i try to upgrade from dvd the upgrade radial is grayed out, can someone assist? [22:21] Fusion_: It will be boring to access the Tweak without ANY pointers.. but I just know this solution.. sorry.. :( [22:21] whoever: would if I could get that far.... stuck in the middle of upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, 64-bit as well [22:21] thats cool i can use the keyboard [22:22] Anybody knows if the Ubuntu Private Cloud (opensource installed with Maas and Juju) deploys Windows Server as Cloud Machines? [22:22] Nithael_du_Lac how do you open the tweak tool from terminal [22:23] sudo gnome-tweak-tools I think [22:23] Gnea: i had completed the upgrade before but then was unable to print from libreoffice , and the only compaints i got that time were repo links, so this time i am tring to do it from dvd [22:24] whoever: Check out Ubuntu forums, there are some culprits for this. [22:24] whoever: ah, my dbus simply won't do anything, I am stuck until I can get it working again. everything I've found on ubuntuforums doesn't work [22:24] is there a commandline way to update my system? I'm on 12.04 and apt-get update and apt-get upgrade just don't do the trick [22:25] noiro: I have just donne with that! [22:25] noiro: apt-get dist-upgrade [22:25] whoever: I ended up disabling my usb2 while installing to get past the splash screen. [22:25] noiro: use sudo for both. and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will update everything (like the GUI updater does) [22:25] thanks guys [22:25] <_jdccdevel> BluesKaj, do you know how to troubleshoot a pppoe connection? [22:25] Hi, I'm trying to install Wine from the Software Center. However, whenever I tell it to start installing, it says "waiting for apt-get to exit" does anyone know how to fix this? [22:26] I found it annoying in SSH to see uninstalled packages and my inability to open gnome over X11 was more infuriating [22:26] how do you open the Gnome Tweak Tool from the terminal as its not in the menu [22:26] Fusion_: find the command in /usr/bin and run it [22:26] how do i do that i am a novis here was using ubuntu to be a web server [22:26] noiro: x11 over ssh wasn't designed to open desktops - it was designed to open applications [22:27] can anyone help me with wine and ultima online [22:27] zykotick9: But I don't remember half the commands. :P And I can't find a decent VNC application (i hear there is something faster than VNC) [22:27] noiro: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core [22:27] Fusion_: open a terminal and cd /usr/bin then ls [22:27] i got ulitma installed with wine but last time i did this it wouldnt patch or run game [22:27] optikx: you could try #winehq [22:27] zykotick9 it tells you how to install and get uo working [22:28] noiro: vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [22:28] maybe it will just work this time [22:28] noiro: i hear freenz is faster then vnc (but remote guis make no sense to me - good luck) [22:28] noiro: if you want, change the LTS string to NORMAL (not in caps, plz) [22:28] do i have to set the games patcher and certain files in wine like some configuration i have to do wont just run [22:28] noiro: and run ---> sudo do-release-upgrade [22:28] noiro: easy as that. [22:29] Nithael_du_Lac: Where do I change LTS to normal? gnome-shell currently doesn't work right for me. :P [22:29] optikx: #winehq is the irc channel... [22:29] thx [22:29] noiro: vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [22:30] * noiro goes to lookup how to use vi [22:30] noiro: set the string as this one:. Prompt=normal [22:30] hunm [22:30] so the Gnome Tweak tool does not really help [22:30] noiro: mcedit ? [22:31] noiro: pico ? a lot of editors are available to you! [22:31] noiro: explore! ;-) [22:31] well Ubuntu has a huge problem with the mouse i am going to try derbin thanks for the help [22:31] Hi all! I got a fresh installed hardware and 12.04 with no sound. The HW is an asus P8Z77-V with intel audio and there's an Nvidia GFX with HDMI as well. I've already tried all the online guides I could find, and surprisingly all seems fine, but still I get no sound whatsoever. Anybody any suggestions or could lead me in the right direction? [22:32] Fusion_: sorry for that... I have tried to help .. :( [22:33] the sound hardware is detected in aplay -l, alsamixer and pavucontrol are all un-muted, but still... [22:33] Alright. Anyone know what is wrong with the Nvidia GTS 450? [22:34] hello, so I'm running Xubuntu, and am feeling like trying out unity, so I ran `apt-get install unity` and it pulled in a ton of dependencies and everything seemed to be okay, except there's no option in lightdm to login to it. is there a config file for lightdm I need to configure? [22:34] yay, figured the problem out! [22:35] Anybody knows if the Ubuntu Private Cloud (opensource installed with Maas and Juju) deploys Windows Server as Cloud Machines? I do not want to pass by tons of codding for nothing guys.. plz.. anybody! [22:35] DanTheBeastMan: i'd just do 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [22:35] noiro, I hope nothing? I'm running the GTX560 and it seems to work for me under 12.04 [22:36] well, I've done that before and plymouth glitched out and was a weird mix of the ubuntu and xubuntu logo.. and again I've already installed unity and it's dependencies. I don't see the need to install a huge metapackage when my problem could be solved with a quick hack at a text file [22:37] Anybody knows if the Ubuntu Private Cloud (opensource installed with Maas and Juju) deploys Windows Server as Cloud Machines? I do not want to pass by tons of codding for nothing guys.. plz.. anybody! [22:37] huh? [22:38] Nithael_du_Lac: rephrase that second part [22:38] Nithael_du_Lac: I cannot imagine Ubuntu deploying a proprietary stack in a cloud server. I would strongly guess no [22:39] No one here familiar with sound issues or could guide me in the right direction? [22:39] Ow man.. :( I though that wold do, for Ubuntu Cloud stacks up with amazon and others ... maybe only the " non-free" solution. [22:39] would** [22:39] hey guys, I enabled cairo-dock with gnome with effects and all I see is the dock (without a compositing manager at that) [22:40] noiro: and with a compmgr? [22:40] All I see is the dock (which has a blakc box around it). And I thought gnome had one built in. [22:41] gnome3 does have an extension to enable a dock [22:41] But gnome-shell keeps putting me in fallback mode and I am told it is an issue with the GTS 450 [22:41] I think the one in 'meta view' works well enough without adding another one in application view [22:41] how can i open manuals in yelp? [22:42] i just installed ubuntu 12.04 32bit, and it said there was an error during "select packages" while installing.. i retried a few times, and ended up having to skip it and move onto the grub install. it can ping 8.8.8.8, but tells me to put in the install cd to install apps using apt-get install... what went wrong, and how do i fix it, other than reinstalling? i dont see why it errored to begin with. 64bit has installed many times just fine. the cur [22:42] rent pc isnt 64bit though. [22:43] b0nghitter: did you check the hashsum before installing [22:43] no, the download completed without any problem so i figured it was fine.... [22:44] are you doing the minimal install? [22:44] do i need to run the "check media" from the install cd boot menu? i wanted to install openssh and dns servers, but it errored while retrieving files [22:45] its the 600 or so mb 32bit server iso [22:45] probably because you're not connected to the internet [22:45] it is connected [22:45] it gets an ip from dhcp and pings 8.8.8.8 after booting [22:45] b0nghitter: the "the current pc isnt 64bit though" sets off alarm bells for me. [22:45] switch to another tty and `dhclient; ping -c3 google.com; sudo apt-get update` try again [22:46] its al old p4 pc [22:46] ah, it did not set anything in resolv.conf [22:47] b0nghitter: i believe resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04... [22:47] Hello guys. [22:48] I'm totaly new in Unity so forgive me... Where can I find opened applications? On Unity Panel - this one on the left? [22:48] so i see.. where do i set it manually? [22:49] dhclient normally configures all hard-wire connections [22:49] Mine resolv.conf it is been used normally.. [22:49] you get dns in /etc/network/interfaces [22:49] cat /etc/resolv.conf --> nameserver 8.8.8.8 [22:49] add a line like "dns-servers 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.2 [22:49] how do I uninstall gnome? [22:49] and it is working fine. [22:50] oops I mean "dns-nameservers 4.2.2.2 8.8.8.8" and "dns-search domain.com" [22:50] noiro: sudo apt-get purge [22:50] ceege: dns-nameservers [22:50] ceege: oops x2 [22:50] Dan, I tried that already [22:50] i 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] gnome3? [22:50] ceege : ;-) [22:50] <_jdccdevel> Anyone know of an easy way to add a new boot option (custom kernel params) to the grub boot menu? [22:50] it cleared 900kb...of gnome's 500mb [22:51] And where the hell should I look for the tray? [22:51] sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell && sudo apt-get autoremove [22:51] 5 [22:53] _jdccdevel: Edit "/etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" then do sudo update-grub [22:54] _jdccdevel: fyi IntuitiveNipple advice above is good, but will apply to all linux kernels you boot [22:55] <_jdccdevel> IntuitiveNipple, that changes the options for all the kernels. I want to entries to boot an existing kernel with two sets of options. [22:55] _jdccdevel: You'd need to write a script to go in /etc/grub.d/ [22:56] _jdccdevel: check out /etc/grub.d/40_custom [22:58] has anyone gotten ubuntu to work on an ultrabook w/o losing battery life? [22:58] _jdccdevel: fyi using 40_custom was a pain - cause kernel updates required manual grub reconfiguration... [22:58] (compared to windows) [22:58] soo.. yeah where does lightdm store it's DE/WM options...? [22:59] Hey 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] hmm 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] Kamryn: 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. [23:00] <_jdccdevel> IntuitiveNipple, I can copy the Menuentry section of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom right? [23:00] zykotick9 thank you [23:01] <_jdccdevel> zykotick9, what would you suggest otherwise? [23:01] nice [23:01] _jdccdevel: are u still here? [23:02] _jdccdevel: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Scripts:_.2BAC8-etc.2BAC8-grub.d.2BAC8- [23:02] _jdccdevel: nothing - if you want specific kernel paramater for "certain" kernels... good luck man. [23:02] can 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 error === `Marcus is now known as _Marcus [23:02] does 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 for [23:03] it will take another 2 hours to dl another copy [23:03] b0nghitter: 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 box [23:03] ok, ty [23:04] <_jdccdevel> zykotick9, 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. [23:05] b0nghitter: Try this: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ [23:05] _jdccdevel: well either use default /etc/default/grub option(s) or manage the /etc/grub.d/40_custom manually [23:05] cool, thanks [23:08] <_jdccdevel> zykotick9, thanks! [23:08] hi all === arjenAU_ is now known as arjenAU2 === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan [23:12] 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" [23:13] what is BlackWidow? [23:13] MonkeyDust: or BlackWindow? [23:14] yes === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [23:15] it appears the iso was corrupted somehow, i hope im downloading a good copy. but i dont see how it could get corrupted if the dl completed successfuly :\ [23:18] lm-sensors is not detecting all sensors, and i get this http://pastebin.com/ja5myY8Y why is this happneing, in Mageia i get 5 temperatures from cpu to HD [23:19] simplew: compare the lm-sensors version number between the two distros... try to get a more recent one for ubuntu most likely. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:28] hey all.. can anyone point me at a good guide for setting up dual video cards? [23:30] hello [23:30] lm-sensors is not detecting all sensors, and i get this http://pastebin.com/ja5myY8Y why is this happneing, in Mageia i get 5 temperatures from cpu to HD [23:30] darkfang_: you mean like Optimus or sli? === Hawk_ is now known as Guest84454 [23:30] lm-sensors is not detecting all sensors, and i get this http://pastebin.com/ja5myY8Y why is this happneing? in Mageia i get 5 temperatures from cpu to HD [23:30] like optimus [23:30] darkfang_, or do you mean 2 monitors. [23:31] actually 2 monitors [23:31] thanks [23:31] zykotick9: im using precise and its updated [23:31] err.. optmius is one thing.. 2 monitors.. totally diffent thang. :) [23:31] !latest | simplew [23:31] simplew: 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] i know.. but not that quick on the uptake sometimes heh [23:31] 2 monitors on 2 video cards [23:31] For bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [23:31] 2 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. [23:32] Dr_willis: +1 [23:33] the second monitor was never registered when i installed ubuntu.. lspci says both cards are active but nothing registeres the second monitor [23:33] darkfang_: sorry i know nothing of bumblebee/optimus/dual-videocards [23:33] zykotick9: ubuntu hav 3.3.1 and Mageia 3.3.1 also [23:33] darkfang_: lscpi -v vga - the -v might be important to show both. [23:33] Im not even sure how you DO optimus and Dual video cardxs.. since I thought Optimus was a Laptop Video 'solution' [23:33] so somthing seems.. weird. [23:34] simplew: that's surpising - unexpected. sorry, i have no suggestions. [23:34] darkfang_, lets get some basic info.. This is a desktop machine? What video cards are in the machine? [23:34] simplew: check kernel versions [23:34] Dr_willis: bumblebee is indeed only for laptops, I have it on my xps 15 [23:35] dennisvb2, :) so you see why i find this confuseing. [23:35] its a dell dimension from way back.. 2 video, one onboard the other pci [23:35] zykotick9: mageia has kernel-3.4.1 [23:35] onboard is intel, pci is nvidia [23:35] !info linux-image [23:35] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.24.26 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 31 kB [23:35] simplew: that 3.2 vs 3.4 might be a difference [23:36] zykotick9: acpi was not installed, werid [23:36] hiin which package is located the apache2 site-available/000-default file ? [23:37] darkfang_: maybe this is useful http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/08/ubuntu-tips-how-to-setup-dual-monitor/ [23:37] !topic [23:37] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [23:37] simplew, have you run sensors-detect and loaded the appropriate modules [23:38] darkfang_, 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] hello everyone [23:38] dennisvb2 - the detect does not see second monitor [23:38] escott: i did and thats what the ouput http://pastebin.com/ja5myY8Y is about [23:39] darkfang_: oh... [23:39] simplew, sudo? [23:39] darkfang_, if you just plug in a moniotor the the intel onboard video.. does it work? [23:39] Dr_willis, yes [23:40] Dr_willis and winslowzXP duals them correctly [23:40] darkfang_, so what drivers are you using under linux for the nvidia card? [23:40] Hey I am having issues with firefox-globalmenu === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:41] the post release ubuntu driver for the nvidia and the i915 for the onboard [23:41] I did a search and couldn't find much on it [23:41] anyone have any direction on the matter? [23:41] darkfang_: do you want to mirror or extend [23:42] ldz420, so far you havent really given much details. :) [23:42] Dr_willis - ideally extend [23:42] (cant spell tonight at all) [23:42] 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] ldz420, its a firefox extension made by the ubuntu devs to have FF use the global menu feature.. [23:43] darkfang_: how many hdmi or dvi outs does it have? [23:43] kroaken_, that some weird keyboard+joystick/pad thangie? or what. [23:43] Dr_willis: well situation is that when using the HUD global menu bar for firefox it appears to crash [23:44] dennisvb2 - nvidia has 2 ports, 1 dvi and 1 vga, onboard only has vga [23:44] crash firefox that is [23:44] ldz420, check for bug reports? disable the global menu plugin perhaps. [23:44] well I have removed it for now.. [23:44] so go to launchpad or is a better place to look? [23:45] darkfang_: if you want to extend you need two dvi ports unless you want to use vga [23:45] dennisvb2 - i figured i would have to use the vga's [23:46] darkfang_: oh well [23:46] !bugs [23:46] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [23:47] im sure its just my xorg.conf because windows loads things correctly.. and i can run either independantly with ubuntu, just not together [23:47] Dr_willis: thx for the direction [23:48] darkfang_, or it could be the 2 drivers not playing nicely [23:48] I 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_willis i was really hoping that wasnt the case.. but im getting close the that conclusion === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|Off [23:48] *to [23:49] darkfang_, a lot depends on the exact nvidia card/gpu/chipset. === TheWalkingDerp is now known as decatf [23:51] Dr_willis - its a 6200 series with an nvidia chip i believe.. but its pci.. the intel is an 82865 proc === smw_ is now known as smw_work [23:55] darkfang_, perhaps check the askubuntu.com site and give details (lspci output) if you ask a question there bout the, [23:55] Dr_Willis lspci -vv shows both video cards have modules loaded and dmesg shows no errors [23:56] Dr_willis - Ok, thanks for the tip.. [23:56] darkfang_, you used the addational-drivers tool to install the nvidia drivers? or is it using the open sourced drivers? [23:57] Dr_willis - i just realized that its loading nouveau as well as the proprietary nvidia crap.. [23:58] darkfang_, one will blacklist the other. - I imagine you may want to just remove the nvidia drivers and try with intel+nouveau [23:59] Dr_willis, ok.. ill try that.. [23:59] I 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.
