[00:00] thanks for the help, ill be back if no success.. [00:04] any way to speed up an ext4 shrink operation? [00:04] i imagine HD speeds would be the bottleneck there aroman [00:05] what's it even doing? [00:05] just relocating a shit ton of blocks? [00:05] aroman, yes [00:06] moveing them to one end of the HD.. then changeing the 'size' of the partition.. sounds like 'shrinking' to me [00:06] hello crew [00:07] I am noticing something strange, I have two apps that like to use about 70% cpu, but if I run them together, they take a hufe hit in performance. I checked my TOP and it looks like the system is trying to force processes onto one core. [00:08] what apps? [00:13] Anybody has the problem that Nvidia GPUs will not pass performance level 1 due to powermizer? [00:18] How do i delet a file and find and delet its sub files? === M3nti0n is now known as M3nti0n|off [00:19] wolfgang_, rm -rf ? [00:19] ? [00:20] escott| ? [00:20] rm -rf / ? :P [00:20] ? [00:20] Hi all [00:20] what is session.lock? [00:21] is it important? [00:21] Im using wine virtual box [00:21] Sorry for the delayDr_willis [00:21] anyone know how to troubleshoot intermittent sound [00:21] sometimes it works on 11.10 [00:22] how do i delete something and it sub files? [00:22] wolfgang_, rm -r [00:22] for some reason Ubuntu wants to pigeon hoe these two onto one core, I remember my fedora install would have these on sep cores [00:22] ? [00:22] but man rm to see it all [00:22] rm -r foo/ [00:22] WHAT? [00:22] will delete the directory foo and all of its subfiles [00:22] I am trying to change the location of a home directory that is encrypted. What files do I need to edit besides the home directory path in /etc/passwd? [00:23] good morning [00:24] whats a good password app , something like robobot for ubuntu ? [00:24] #ubuntu-indonesia [00:26] omgimdrunk, if its virtualbox then those cpus would be fixed. i think that makes sense [00:26] pagi oyek [00:27] omgimdrunk, that is to say if you have 4 cpu's and assign 2/4 to vbox then it would have to pick the cpus. there is no way it can meaningfully divide the time so as to migrate the vm between cpus. (at least that would be my suspicion) === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 [00:30] Can anyone point me to a good wireless n supported PCI card? === kroaken is now known as Guest48562 [00:31] I don't understand why my system isn't picking up the other core then [00:32] so If I run wow in wine, Firefox and deluge, ubuntu tries to force all 3 under 100% cpu [00:34] omgimdrunk, ok [00:35] not sure why, im reading into it now [00:35] hey anyone has a Honda prelude 4ws? [00:36] omgimdrunk, im just not sure what your question is exactly [00:37] omgimdrunk, the wine+firefox+deluge bit makes sense. === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [00:39] My question is, on my old Fedora 17 system, the it was not uncommon to have my apps %CPU add up to %190, but on ubuntu it tries to pigeon hoel them onto one core under %100, is there a way to let the kernel use the two cores flexibly [00:40] omgimdrunk, how many cpus are listed in /proc/cpuinfo [00:41] 2, proc 0 and pr0c 1 [00:47] I'm having a major problem in 12.04. Every piece of media I play for the first few seconds get sped up. This applies to Youtube videos, music on the web, videos on my desktop. Anything that uses video are music in ubuntu gets sped up for at least eight seconds. [00:48] what is your GPU ? [00:48] i sounds like a issue relate to GPU driver [00:49] I have an ATI onboard card. [00:49] It's in a laptop. [00:50] SolomGrundy, happens to my AMD c-30 CPU too [00:50] What did you do to fix it? [00:54] test [00:54] Can anyone help with my problem? [00:54] SolomGrundy, So it's an ntegrated GPU? What AMD CPU is it that you are using? [00:56] I'm using a ASUS with an Intel i3. [00:56] Never had this problem before until today. [00:57] SolomGrundy, Hmmm I don't think my problem is the same as yourd :( [00:57] can I move an encrypted home directory to another location? I've tried editing the /etc/passwd file, but it seems that there is something else that needs to be modified for the encryption mounting as well [00:57] your's* [00:58] I just installed ubuntu desktop, and I've used a few different WMs, but no matter what my terminal background is that horrible purple. I've tried various forms of xsetroot -bg black and -solid black to no avail. Any ideas/ [00:58] FenrirReturns, why not change the color scheme of the terminal? [00:59] Well, my next problem is disabling this annoying water effect when I backspace with nothing in the text field. [01:00] escott: because I had thought that it was coming from it being the background, I suppose I could be wrong though, thats just the way I recall previous default installs of ubuntu being [01:01] FenrirReturns, well if you are transparent and have a purple desktop background then it would be purple [01:01] escott: I suppose I better check what my default term is, I plead lack of caffeine [01:02] Hey, I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I wanted to change Grub back to default where it only shows up when I hit shift during load. [01:02] coreyo, what is in the ecryptfs home directory when it is not overlay mounted. there should be a directory with the configuration. perhaps something needs to be updated there [01:03] HungryMan, should be something in /etc/default/grub [01:03] Yep, I've got that open [01:03] just not sure which value [01:04] HungryMan, maybe take timeout down to 0 and set the hidden timeout? [01:04] What does the hidden timeout do? [01:04] I've tried setting GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 [01:04] but then it loads without shift, I guess I can do 1 [01:04] I mean then it doesn't load despite shift * [01:05] HungryMan, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/978994 [01:05] Launchpad bug 978994 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is badly documented" [Undecided,New] [01:05] ohhhhh === SudoKing is now known as SudoKu [01:05] thank you [01:06] HungryMan, goodluck. none of the grub options have made any sense to me. [01:06] I think setting it to 0 and 1 should work [01:06] thanks a lot [01:07] While looking on the Ubuntu wiki for information on mac triple-booting OSX, Windows, and Ubuntu (), I noticed it said that 4 partitions was the limit (EFI, OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows respectively) without doing anything tricky. Is there a way to have more than 4 partitions? I'd really like to know.

[01:13] seangibbz, yes but there is a difference between a hybrid and synced layout and one that is not syncable [01:14] coreyo, modern ecryptfs is supposed to be configured so that backup up $HOME and restoring it should work. so all configs should be in $HOME [01:14] escott, /path/to/homedir/.ecryptfs/Private.mnt just had to change the path to that and it worked.

Not totally ubuntu-related, but I figured someone here must have encountered a similar problem. [01:52] Hey thot [01:53] hello everyone [01:53] I haven't figured out how to consistently reproduce the problem, either [01:54] haha, I don't suppose there is a #printers or #drivers chan? [01:56] I'm on 11.10 and would like to upgrade to 12.04. I have a non-PAE and would need the appropiate kernel. I'm wondering if an upgrade on such a machine would render the system useless?

So i checked the internet and found to use the terminal command free -m, it should show 4gb of ram but only shows 2, i believe this is the cause of my problems, i rand a memory test and all 4gb passed so now how do i enable ubuntu to see all my memory?

[02:16] if you dl firefox from mozilla site, does it run on 64 bit [02:17] ?? [02:17] ubottu thanks for the link, i am going to get started on it. Much appreciated! [02:17] blubee: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:17] can u copy to /opt?? [02:17] escott, thanks a lot. That confirms my concern. I'm glad we swapped information about it. [02:17] what ubottu is a bot!? [02:17] edgy, like my previous employer... who got the high end machine for the developers, but put 32bit non-pae kernels on it. so that really nice 2GB video card meant i had less usable ram than the other guys [02:17] goddard: have you tried closing it with system monitor? [02:17] blubee: then do as blubee, or escott told you, install a pae kernel [02:17] mrdeb: your gonna compile mozilla? [02:18] insomniac_lemon: nope [02:18] blubee: or better install a 64 bit system [02:18] goddard: no i downloaded linux file for 14.1 firefox but it doesnt let u choose 32 or 64 bit. so will it run on 64 bit?? [02:19] hello i am using ubuntu 12.04, everytime i start ubuntu it doesnt remembers brightness setting [02:20] escott: sorry I didn't understand the relation between the video card ram and pae kernels, you mean with non-pae 32-bits if you have 4G RAM and 2G vga-card you are going to use only 2G total? [02:20] can someone help me? i've forgotten my password [02:20] edgy, yes it all gets mapped [02:20] escott, is there a way so ubuntu remembers my brightness setting [02:20] mrdeb: yes [02:20] edgy, if its DMA'able then it counts against the address space [02:20] escott, i recall in previous ubuntu version it did remember [02:20] mrdeb: but why would you download it from the site just curious [02:21] goddard: so i can copy to opt ok?? [02:21] insomniac_lemon: tried it no luck [02:21] rocky_, you could write a script to echo values to /sys/...../backlight [02:21] goddard: bec ubuntu has old version [02:21] mrdeb: no idea never tried but most likely [02:21] rocky_, or put it in rc.local [02:21] escott: then what's the mapping rule? 1G from vga and 1G from RAM, or just 2G vga and 0 RAM ;) [02:21] escott, can you point me to the script which is prewritten [02:21] mrdeb, what version of ubuntu are you on [02:22] edgy, anything the card sets up is gone. and we were using windows so there was no way for me to blacklist the cards memory space or tell it to steal less of my ram. it was just *gone* and there was nothing i could do about it [02:22] rocky_, not off hand [02:23] mrdeb: firefox gets updated on a regular basis it will probably be updated by the package managers soon, but ya it should work [02:23] escott, ok i will google [02:23] mrdeb, ubuntu already has 14.01, no need to compile whatsoever [02:23] escott: funny, but can you even do this in linux? I mean blacklist the cards memory? [02:24] mrdeb: you better do like me install quantal ;) [02:24] bazhang: i went back to 10.10 [02:24] huh what is quantal [02:24] edgy, so that 3.2 is really based on averages. video cards have gotten more sane in recent years and you dont see as many 2GB cards out there. but theoretically with the right hardware it would be impossible to boot a system because it ran out of RAM [02:24] mrdeb, 10.10 is not supported any longer [02:25] huh [02:25] well ti i faster so maybe i can use it [02:25] mrdeb: the latest ubuntu with the latest software, e.g firefox 14.0.1 === Daniel_ is now known as DanielHoffman [02:25] yes [02:25] mrdeb, dont ask for support here with 10.10 [02:25] edgy, i dont know if you can blacklist, but i imagine you probably could. point was i was very annoyed that our development team who worked with large data sets had less ram than everyone else on the floor [02:25] edgy: stop suggesting that, latest firefox is already on ubuntu repository [02:25] ... [02:26] I am making a program on ubuntu and is there a way to compile a windows .exe file on linux without WINE [02:26] xangua: then why mrdeb is complaining? [02:26] anyone know how to get a program back on screen some how it is off screen and ran away and will not come back [02:26] edgy: because he is using a no longer supported distro... [02:26] ok hold on . i will see if it runs [02:26] edgy: an neither 12.10 is supported here -yet- [02:27] !eolupgrades | edgy mrdeb [02:27] edgy mrdeb: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:27] xangua: aha, I haven't read his question [02:27] yes but 10.10 is a lot faster [02:27] so i like it more [02:27] mrdeb: xfce and lxde are faster... [02:28] mrdeb: all tests done show 10.10 isn't faster [02:28] mrdeb: so you don't have excuses to use unsupported software if you have low resources [02:29] Is it possible to get anything >11.04 to have the classic GUI? I don't like that unity/sidebar-macish stuff, so I've been staying at 11.04 [02:29] no i tried 12.04 base intall and it had big problems [02:29] goddard: what do you mean by gone? [02:29] mrdeb: like? [02:29] it doesnt work right [02:29] I specified an 8400000kb swap partition (in an LVM over an encrypted partition) on my new desktop machine during the alternate install, but when I boot it, swapon -s tells me that my swap partition size is onl 8200188. What's up? [02:29] sound was bad and it hanged [02:30] !nounity | insomniac_lemon [02:30] or use xfce [02:30] if u take out unity [02:30] insomniac_lemon: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:30] !enter | mrdeb [02:30] mrdeb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:30] edgy: it starts but it loads off screen and i cant get to it cant even see it [02:30] And any suggestions on how to shrink my root partition and grow the swap one, or should I just re-install? [02:31] goddard: what do you mean by loads off screen? run in the background? [02:31] oi [02:31] goddard: what's your program? [02:31] insomniac_lemon: i just use sudo apt-get install gnome, does the same thing. [02:31] edgy: no i mean it loads off the screen [02:31] if you have a live cd, you can partition there [02:31] edgy: netbeans [02:31] tudu bem [02:31] blz [02:31] as long as you are not using the root partition you are partitioning [02:31] goddard: you can't see any part of the window? [02:31] nope none [02:32] goddard: you have dual screen setup? [02:32] goddard: did you check your resolution? [02:33] DanielHoffman: can I just use the standard desktop install CD for that, or is there a special live CD I should use? (Actually, it needs to be on a USB flash memory stick, but I'll just use the standard USB creator for that.) [02:33] that will work [02:33] as long as it has GParted or a partitioner on it (my live cd does) [02:34] gparted understands LVM? [02:34] I suppose I can figure out how to do it by hand from the command line, if not. [02:35] Actually, does the 32-bit desktop install CD support LVM and encryption? Or do I need to do it from the command line using the alternate install image? [02:35] cjs, alternate [02:35] escott: Thanks. [02:35] !ops | incog [02:35] incog: Help! Channel emergency!

[02:35] cjs: maybe cfdisk? I personally haven't had to run than program in 8 years or so myself, but I know it supprted a lot of different types. [02:35] it should [02:36] Well, I'll see if I can find the .PPD on IBM's site [02:36] Guys, keep in mind that I'm only resizing LVM partitions here, nothing to do with the DOS partition table. [02:36] GParted should work fine [02:36] bazhang, you around? can you kick incog (pm spam bot) [02:37] cjs: cfdisk is not fdisk. it works with linux partition types. I used it for ext3 back in the day. [02:37] DanielHoffman: Can't use gparted on a boot disk without encryption and LVM support. [02:37] escott: join #ubuntu-ops please [02:37] escott: no need, thanks for the heads up :) [02:37] Oh, actually, hm, maybe the alternate install partitioner will let me resize. [02:38] IdleOne, thanks [02:39] goddard: you managed to solve it? [02:39] escott: What's that about? -_- [02:40] So nobody's got any thoughts on my swap size issue, where the swap partition size reported by swapon -s is less than the size of the swap partition I created? [02:41] insomniac_lemon: I don't think they can talk about what goes on in that channel, just my thinking. [02:42] cjs: what's your problem? [02:42] edgy: ya got it back .. damn almost had a heart attack [02:42] goddard: sorry? [02:42] cjs: any chance this is a kilobytes vs kilobits situation? how far off is it? [02:43] cjs: paste the outputs of the commands you used [02:43] hylian: Or Kilobytes vs. Kebibytes? [02:43] insomniac_lemon: yeah, LOL. [02:43] edgy: I installed a system with a large partition, encryption on that, lvm on the encryption, an 8400000kb swap volume in the lvm, and the rest root in the lvm. My swap came out, after boot, to about 8200000kb, which prevents me from hibernating because that's smaller than my RAM. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to fix this. [02:44] hylian: The MB vs. MiB thing applies, but no, not for KiB, I believe, because the sector size of the disk is 512 bytes. [02:44] edgy: I didn't use particular commands, I used the alternate installer in manual partitioning mode. [02:44] cjs: 8 gigabyte swap? [02:45] Flannel: right. I have 8 GB of RAM, so my swap needs to be at least that large in order to be able to hibernate. [02:45] is there a new opera ppa for 12.04 since the upgrade doesn't like the one from 11.10 [02:45] cjs: who told you that to hybernate you need the swap to be the size of the RAM? [02:46] edgy: Someone here, though I'd assumed that before being told. Hibernate saves RAM to swap, right? So if swap's too small, where does the RAM go? [02:46] cjs, not entirely true. it needs to be as large as the ram used by the kernel, but the kernel can sync and flush its cache and buffers before hibernate [02:46] cjs: as to what is causing the error, i don't know. any why you need such an enormous swap partition is also beyond me. But If I did need to accomplish this, I would shutdown ubuntu, boot into live cd/ live usb and then run gparted from there and resize partitions. it wouldn't be fast or fun, but should be doable... [02:46] cjs: my guess is hibernation is not like ghosting the RAM, it will take the used bits and save it in disk so the swap could be much less [02:46] cjs, rather ram used by applications [02:46] yeah. What does your partition listing say? (sudo lvdisplay) [02:47] edgy: In order to hibernate, swap needs to be at least the size of RAM. (Unfortunately we don't have smarter stuff than this) [02:47] Flannel: proof this [02:47] Well, the hibernate option does not come up on the menu next to suspend when my swap is too small. [02:47] Flannel: s/proof/prove [02:48] edgy: It's just the way it is. [02:48] cjs: I don't think that is the reason, not for 200M difference of course [02:48] escott: oh, I thought you were trolling me, right after you called the emergency I got PM'd by incog with what I hope was a fake website [02:48] Dropping buffer cache makes sense, but you'd still have to have swap to back all allocated VM that's ever been written. [02:48] cjs: interesting. Never had anyone mention that before... I never get hibernate as an option either... [02:49] Flannel: I believe what you are saying is not true [02:49] insomniac_lemon, no i was getting spammed and was trying to get the ops involved [02:49] hylian: Well, there could be other reasons too, relating to this being a desktop system or something, but I do believe others told me that they do get hibernate on their desktop systems. [02:49] Hi, when trying to load minecraft i get this error... could someonme tell me what i could do to fix this http://pastebin.com/SqRfVY9F [02:49] edgy: You're welcome to believe it, but your belief would be incorrect. [02:50] Good evening. I'm having problems with my wireless connection. There is internet access, but when I attempt connecting it constantly asks me for typing thw wireless security password. [02:50] Flannel: also you are welcome to claim it but your claim needs a reference to be correct [02:50] Anyway, I'm just doing a re-install, since that seems the easiest. [02:50] yikes... poor snard... [02:50] hey where do I get the source code of the router firmwares ? [02:50] cjs: Can you please pastebin the output of `sudo lvdisplay`? [02:50] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix. [02:51] Flannel: sure, once I'm back up and running again. [02:51] cjs: I will reboot now and be back to discuss this more [02:51] (It will be a good 20 minutes or so.) [02:51] cjs: Oh, if you're reinstalling, then it's moot (unless you've got the issue again, I suppose) [02:51] edgy: thanks. [02:51] is there a channel I'd get a better result if i asked this question about the router ? [02:51] Flannel: yeah, it will be interesting to see if it comes back. I am not entirely convinced that I'm correct on the RAM issue. [02:51] edgy, i think in theory it could do with less, but Flannel seems to be backed by the docs and swsusp is rather simplistic [02:51] evilytwisted, do you have the correct version of java installed? [02:51] s/RAM/swap size/ [02:52] i would think so? [02:52] How would i know that? [02:53] escott: The basic issue is that the Linux kernel does overcommit. So it's really hard to say whether or not you could hibernate, and that could change from moment to moment depending on whether you have a modified memory page with no swap available to back it or not. [02:53] evilytwisted: just make sure if you have 32x ubuntu, oyu aren't trying to run 64x java [02:54] i have a 64 bit system [02:54] I seem to be getting spammed with PMs from "incog" about "linuxforniggers.us"; any idea what I should do about this? [02:54] Qualia: You are looking for the source code to open-source router firmware like openwrt for instance? [02:55] (incog appears to be a bot.) [02:55] cjs, are you still being spammed? [02:55] escott: Seems to have stopped. [02:55] cjs, yeah he was kicked a while back [02:56] cjs: ok back [02:56] y746G_79: you need to go into your network settings by cicking "edit connections". when you find your wireless connection, click edit, then click "available for all users". then close. you should no longer need your wireless security pin. [02:56] cjs: now what Flannel is saying is not true because I have 16G RAM and 8G swap and can still hibernate [02:57] cjs: try sudo pm-hibernate [02:57] edgy: Hm. Interesting! [02:58] edgy: I'm re-installing with a 10G swap partition. I'll try when I'm back up. [02:58] cjs: which GUI are you using? [02:58] Oh, and do the command-line hibernate and suspend tools work again? They were broken from, I dunno, 11.04 or something onward. [02:58] edgy: I use fvwm and the XFCE session manager. [02:59] hylian: It stays connecting forever. [02:59] But sorry, that's misleading: the suspend that was missing here was from the standard unity interface; I'd not switched over yet. [02:59] cjs: I haven't tried the command line myself but check this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/111669/hibernate-missing-from-power-menu-and-when-i-press-laptop-power-button [03:00] y746G_79: after doing what I said? hmm. how new is this wireless connection? [03:01] cjs: actually this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 [03:04] Ok, so swapon -s now reports a size of 9764860, but still no hibernate option. [03:04] There is a really stupid bug in ubuntu. When I open a TERMINATOR window, if I minimize it, the window is gone. Not minimized, but it exits [03:05] Let me see if the command-line one works; that would be great because I could go back to using my own menus rather than the ones from the panel. [03:05] Has anyone heard of 12.04 hanging vmware player 4.0.4 ? I can install it and run the live desktop but once installed it hangs on the login screen [03:05] rawfodog: i use terminator, and I never have this happen to me... so maybe we can work together to see what you have that i don't that causes this... === XLV_ is now known as XLV [03:06] malibu: sorry, never use that vm software. I [03:06] edgy: Ah! Thanks. [03:07] cjs: you are welcome [03:07] hylian, well, its a new install of ubuntu. When I run terminator, and alt tab to switch to another program the window closes. I'll see if its in top ... [03:07] hylian, no for sure it closes it [03:08] rawfodog: good luck I hate top. I am strictly an htop guy. :) [03:08] whats the diff ? [03:08] (no pun intended) [03:09] rawfodog: htop is more user firendly is all. [03:09] sweet [03:09] rawfodog: what desktop environment or window manager are you using? [03:09] Hm. pm-hibernate doesn't appear to work. I get a blank screen, some disk activity, and then a blinking text cursor at the upper left of an otherwise blank screen (no more disk activity) and the system seems to be stalled there. Thoughts, anyone? [03:09] genii-around, yeah about the source code for firmware, yeah [03:09] hylian, stock unity [03:10] Giving it a test drive. The latest buntu isn't so bad [03:10] Still like gnome 3 a tiny bit more though [03:10] (I'm an lxde/xfce man myself) [03:10] (no pun intended) [03:11] rawfodog: hmm. the second I have ubuntu installed, I either go to openbox or gnome classic no fx, depending on the machine. I have gnome classic no fx running right now, and I can minimize and maxamize terminator's windows all day... wondering if this is a unity situation. [03:11] Oop. Got some kernel messages about "task image_compress/:4605 blocked for more than 120 seconds." [03:12] So I guess hibernate doesn't work on my hardware. Any thoughts on how I'd fix this? There's some sort of software update that's necessary? [03:12] rawfodog: i am gonna see if i can find anything with a quick google search... brb [03:12] hylian: htop is the best, i didnt know it exsited until you said :-D. thanks [03:12] hylian, I think it [03:13] Hi, is there an ALSA dev package for Ubuntu, and also do Ubuntu derivatives use Pulse like Ubuntu? [03:13] think it's a unity thing. Thanks for googling that, I was only telling the room didn't mean for anyone to do the work for me [03:14] rawfodog, KDE fan here. [03:14] kde is sweet [03:14] Speaking of ALSA, have any of you had issues with low quality, tinny sounds? [03:14] rawfodog: yeah, but I like to solve ubuntu problems, keeps my ubuntu-fu sharp, LOL :) [03:14] Qualia: You may have more luck asking in #openwrt channel [03:14] maybe I should lurk too for practice. [03:14] insomniac_lemon: no, but I have heard people talk about it... [03:15] rawfodog: unity isn't doing it here. terminator is still running, not closing... let me dig up some info... [03:16] Oh, you know what, I haven't restarted since my package upgrade. Maybe that's it ... [03:16] * rawfodog has to close his ide's, chat windows, browser ;_; [03:16] hylian: Hear of any cause at least? It's a big difference from Win7. I have an HDTV with SRS surround sound if it makes a difference [03:17] But, it doesn't sound any better if I change my TV's sound settings [03:17] Hi, new installation, upgraded but cannot configure 2 capture cards. Leadtek Winfast 2000 XP Expert & Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q [03:17] rawfodog: sorry, i know there is a program that checks why windows exited, but I am drawing a blank tonight. i must be mor tired than i thought... [03:19] insomniac_lemon: hmm, i think this had to do with more than one audio device.. I could be wrong. I am looking into my "linux knowledgebase" a folder full of little tricks i wrote down on text docs... [03:21] i need to run two commands in an chroot /mnt/ environment. is there a way to do something like echo " export var=hfuewhfuifw; echo $var" | chroot /mnt/ [03:21] insomniac_lemon: if you adjust the volume in alsamixer (not the gnome/unity mixer) all the way down, and then up to your wanted levels, does it get better? [03:21] hylian: well, that could be it. I have 2 components on my computer that act like sound cards/outputs (each have a mic jack and headphone jack) and then my graphics card [03:22] hylian, if i could take few moments of your time i listed this problem eearlier.. im running 64 bit system of linux, and yet everytime i try to run java i get this error could i get help resolving this .. or from anyone? http://pastebin.com/j62HM6vi removed minecraft hundres of time..

I've accidentally installed like three copies [03:24] hylian: http://pastebin.com/gu4T7ASF if that helps? [03:25] LinuxVertigo, I think you are in the wrong channel.... [03:25] oh [03:25] Okay. I have ubuntu installed an an encrypted LVM partition which currently takes up my entire hard drive. I need to resize this partition down and stick windows on a second partition and dual boot. Can I get there from here? [03:26] you should have installed windows first [03:26] before linux [03:26] I know. I didn't know until after I needed both. [03:26] windows wont reconize theres a partition.. it literally hates linux [03:26] as far ive been told. [03:26] Does windows have to be on the first partition? [03:26] yes [03:27] I [03:27] correct me if im wrong plz [03:27] hylian: I'm not noticing much difference [03:27] slackin_, his question is directly pertaining to an Ubuntu issue. He's in the right place. [03:27] slackin__ they just redirected me to here [03:27] aeth|away: No [03:27] So lets say I am willing to format, install windows first [03:28] LinuxVertigo, lol, who? The tech support at steam? [03:28] What are the specific steps I would need to take? [03:28] aeth|away: I believe it needs to be a primary, but it doesn't need to be first [03:28] roasted_, how is that an ubuntu issue? [03:28] Whoops, enter key. I'm having an issue with a bad/corrupted sources list file. I can't seem to open the sources list editor to remove the bad list. I'm using 12.04. [03:28] slackin__, he came into ubuntu-offtopic. We re-directed him back here since his question is directly about #ubuntu. [03:28] bro I need to uninstall something [03:28] afaik, steam does not support linux, at all [03:28] insomniac_lemon: i wish I could find what i am looking for. I know one solution was to use pavucontrol, because one of the audio devices was strictly alsa, and the other was pulse audio... i wish i was more helpful than that... [03:29] I need ubuntu to uninstall Steam [03:29] slackin__, steam is working on linux support as we speak, but that's besides the point. He's having an issue with an installation of a program on Ubuntu and wants to know how to remove it. [03:29] evilytwisted: does minecraft hang on that black screen before starting> [03:30] dont you need to wine to uninstall steam?

[03:50] it says something like "Could not write bytes: broken pipes" === Insomnia_ is now known as Compoundmix [03:50] Hello, My mouse cursor doesnt move for 5 minutes after I boot ubuntu. Is it normal in ubuntu? [03:50] sudo-apt-get, no ._. [03:51] is there anyway I can install fgrlx without getting an out-of-range? [03:51] insomniac_lemon, then how can I solve the problem? [03:51] sudo-apt-get, what are your specs, and what kind of mouse? [03:52] insomniac_lemon, mousepad. [03:52] laptop? [03:52] installing it through Additional Drivers seems buggy, because Catalyst Control Center couldn't start after installing [03:52] insomniac_lemon, mousepad works fine on windows [03:52] sudo-apt-get: install coffee in insomniac_lemon unit. :)( [03:52] insomniac_lemon, yes laptop, dell inspiron [03:52] Hello, does ubuntu support RAMDisk? [03:53] ubuntu rulez [03:53] sudo-apt-get, hmm, well it may just be a performance or driver issue [03:53] insomniac_lemon, so any solutions? [03:53] Do you have an external mouse you could try? [03:54] is there anyway to force refresh rate after installing fglrx? It keeps giving me "out of range" [03:54] insomniac_lemon, not now. [03:54] peugi: yes, the unity interface seems a big buggy, i can not control the screen brightness, and i am also getting GUI crashes since the update. I dont have the time at the moment to look in to it further. but ignoring those bugs eveything is working ok [03:55] peugi: over all minus the buggyness the UI is easyer to interact with, and there a couple of extra shortcut keys [03:56] kukulambar: ubuntu does have an initd file that is loaded in to ram, if that is what you mean. allowing you to run the OS from inside ram with no need for a harddrive [03:56] sudo-apt-get, well when you can, see what an external mouse does. If it works fine, it's something to do with drivers [03:56] ^most likely :) [03:56] kukulambar: initrd* [03:57] insomniac_lemon, So the problem is with ubuntu drivers, not hardware. [03:58] peugi: one thing to point out that is very important is there was a mac EFI but in the previouse version of the ubunut install, a very serious bug. but i think it has been fixed now [03:58] Well, probably. If it works fine in Windows, and not in Ubuntu at start, then it might just be some driver hiccup/incompatibility [03:59] peugi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-efi/+bug/769669 [03:59] Launchpad bug 769669 in partman-efi (Ubuntu) "Installer should not format an existing EFI System Partition" [High,Fix released] [03:59] ResQue: thanks for the tip! I think I'm going to try the 64bit version and back up everything [03:59] sudo-apt-get, trial and error is the best with this sort of thing [04:00] peugi: let me know how it goes via PM if you get the chance, i am running 32bit. and i was thinking of updating to 64bit and going full EFI some time this week [04:00] nice will do :) [04:00] peugi: thanks :-D [04:00] sudo-apt-get, for now, can you get around with keyboard control when your mouse isn't working? [04:01] insomniac_lemon, yes. [04:01] insomniac_lemon, though i cant play internet games in my free time. :( [04:02] insomniac_lemon, the problems prevails only for 10 minutes after boot. [04:02] sudo-apt-get, is it possible Ubuntu thinks at start that your mouse is locked (with one of those Fn functions) and then later realises it isn't? [04:02] insomniac_lemon, the mouse is working now. [04:03] sudo-apt-get: you have absolutely no mouse for ten minutes after boot? [04:03] Like how it works with wifi being disabled/enabled [04:03] hylian, yes, cursor doesnt move. or say it moves haphazardly. [04:04] sudo-apt-get: its probably preload running on a slow hard drive? [04:04] is it an old laptop? === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [04:04] peugi, its a 1.5 year old dell inspiron, i5 [04:05] 4 gb ram [04:05] 500 gb HD [04:05] How much swap? [04:05] as I said earlier, this happens only in ubuntu. [04:05] I would run smartmontools make sure its all kosher [04:05] insomniac_lemon, how to check? [04:06] you can run top [04:06] sudo-apt-get: I have heard of this before. it was the integrated memory card reader. after unplugging it, everything worked great. this may be your problem. [04:06] yeah you can probably disable it in bios [04:07] hylian, how to unplug integrated memory card reader? [04:08] insomniac_lemon, swap is 576 kb of 256 mb [04:08] sudo-apt-get, it's what you've partitioned for Ubuntu when you installed it, you can check in stuff like disk utility, or Gpart? [04:08] insomniac_lemon, its 30 gb [04:08] I forget the name if that isn't it -_- [04:08] insomniac_lemon, maximum limit. [04:09] sudo-apt-get: i am not certain. in some units, it's just a wire going to the motherboard. either way it should be somehow connected to the motherboard's usb system. this is not a hardware isseu persay. this is actually a bug that was never hunted down... sorry. [04:09] sudo-apt-get: it could also be a usb hub. just thought i would mention it. [04:10] hylian, would the bug affect an external mouse as well? [04:10] hylian, I would prefer not to mess around with the hardware of laptop. [04:11] insomniac_lemon: external? they are all external? do you mean wireless? ps2? i guess I don't understands the question... [04:11] sudo-apt-get: i understand that! I just thought I would mention it. [04:11] hylian, i use mousepad of laptop [04:12] hi [04:12] insomniac_lemon is talking about a wired mouse [04:12] ^ [04:12] Hi. Is there a command I can use to mount or walk through an ext4 disk image made with ddrescue with one incomplete block that I can mount read only without fsck? mount -o loop,ro requires an fsck but the loop part forbids it so it refuses to mount. Thanks. [04:12] I tried other channels but didnt get much help [04:12] insomniac_lemon: ohh, i see now. I want to say yes, because they both should be usb driven, but sometimes it's the touchpad's driver that is working badly with linux. So I don't know [04:13] hylian, that's what I was sating earlier, with the driver [04:13] *saying [04:14] sudo-apt-get: one thing to try would be to disable the touchpad, and then use an external usb mouse like insomniac_lemon pointed out. this would atleast give you the answer of whether this is the touchpad itself, or the driver.. or a usb problem like i suggested. worth a shot i think. [04:15] hylian, I can check it tomorrow when i go back to college hostel. [04:15] most laptops have a FN key for enable/disable touchpad/ext mouse [04:15] insomniac_lemon: you made a valid point. some of those drivers suck. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest83201 [04:16] insomniac_lemon, sudo-apt-get My brain is melting, I must sleep now. Have a good night. :) [04:16] OerHeks, I said this earlier, that maybe when Ubuntu starts, it thinks the mouse is disabled? [04:16] im having issues with grub2 on ubuntu 11.04 server, getting black screen on boot(monitor power saves), grub.cfg seems to contain incorrect/unnecessary settings suspect lines: insmod part_msdos; insmod ext2; set root='(/dev/sdc,msdos1)' EOL but the partition is ext4 and shouldn't that last be "/dev/sdc,1" or "hd0,1"? [04:17] hylian, good night. [04:17] Sleep... tight? [04:18] I just got disconnected, and I'm not sure you received my previous messages, so... [04:18] I'm having issues getting my native resolution 1366x768 working. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 [04:18] can I force the resolution without fgrlx? [04:18] insomniac_lemon, sudo-apt-get running this program gives you a little more control over your touchpad: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao [04:18] sudo apt-get update [04:18] sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator [04:18] my native resolution is 1280x1024 but it's not in the Display settings, and fgrlx causes out of range [04:19] They say ppas are dangerous. [04:23] ok how about this [04:23] is there a program I can use to walk the directory structure of an ext4 disk image, listing filenames, wihtout mounting? [04:24] My Xorg.0.log is saying the EDID for DFP-1 contradicts itself and so I'm not able to use the native resolution 1366x768 [04:28] this is my Xorg.0.log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4v7zsj6f05c699l/Xorg.0.log [04:28] still unable to achieve the native resolution [04:28] hey all [04:29] i've managed to mess up my bcd/boot menu/everything. [04:29] pr0metheu5: reinstall grub won't fix? [04:29] let me show you a screenshot [04:30] I was fiddling with easybcd in windows >_< [04:30] everytime my computer restarts, it ends up at this screen: http://i.imgur.com/X9NXK.jpg choosing Hatachi or anything doesn't do anything. [04:30] should i need a "special" kernel on P4 cpu running 12.04? [04:30] I was able to boot into it using multiboot and choosing "boot from first hd" which threw me in grub [04:31] I went into windows and tried fixing my boot menu manually using easyBCD again, but after restart I get to the same screen again and using multiboot to boot from first hd isn't working anymore either === cleaninstall_ is now known as phi_scribe [04:31] is it safe to delete the /var/spool/mail/usersMail file ? I have one that is so huge, like 200 megs, I would like it to start from a blank file [04:31] It's only for my crons on the server I have [04:33] Why do you torment me, Internet? http://www.brutman.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40&sid=03ed81c16a105048247cf6411b118c71 [04:37] I figured out the problem [04:37] Ubuntu didn't recognize my monitor's EDID [04:37] I think I'm rolling back to 11.10 which worked fine [04:37] many thanks to you guys, although you didn't help AT ALL [04:37] got 11.10 set, finally, time to roll forward to 12.04 [04:38] forte: yeah, good help seems to be pretty lacking here lately [04:38] what is /dev/null for ? [04:38] oops, oh well [04:38] rawfodog: it's kind of like a bucket to a black hole [04:38] IS it like rm ? [04:38] you send something to it, it just sort of disappears [04:38] no [04:38] * Lil lives in /dev/null [04:38] it's... different [04:38] So why would I send something there ? [04:39] If I want to delete a file, do I send it to dev/null ? [04:39] because you'd need to send it SOMEWHERE but you didn't want to break something [04:39] hi [04:39] So it's not for removing files [04:39] rawfodog: well, that's one way of doing that, but rm tends to get the job done [04:39] rawfodog: not specifically, but it can do it [04:40] I see people talk about it, it seems like a joke, I'm not sure if it has any use or not [04:40] it's always had a use [04:40] got any examples ? [04:40] cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null [04:40] lol [04:40] :) [04:41] Why the heck does Ubuntu come with a guest account enabled by default? Talk about a big hit to security.... [04:41] does that generate random numbers ? [04:41] cjs, agreed [04:41] not numbers, garbage [04:41] when did ubuntu come with a guest account? [04:41] hopefully you're not talking about the livecd... [04:42] Install it. Look at the login screen. It offers a "Guest Session" login. [04:42] It has for many versions of Ubuntu, IIRC. [04:42] Does urandom stop ? lol if I leave it on will it crash my machine ? [04:42] Same with dev/null. If I send a file to it, will it crash my machine ? [04:42] rawfodog: No. [04:43] cjs: really? I've been running it since the 7-series, never seen it... I'm doing my first migration to 12.04 now... I'm on 11.10 but have no gui since this version seems to be problematic [04:43] rawfodog: The one you have to be careful of is /dev/random: that will run out of entropy and pause to collect more. [04:43] rawfodog nope [04:43] Yeah on my last clean install my ubuntu had a guest account as well. [04:43] not sure how that would be a security hit [04:44] So is there any practical use for dev/null ? [04:44] you'd really have to do a detailed analysis and provide some proof of exploit [04:44] Besides an inside joke I'm not really getting [04:44] Gnea: Giving anybody access to a system as a user, no matter how limited in privs., opens up all sort of new avenues of attack. [04:44] cjs, is right [04:44] rawfodog: it's usually just used in shell programming, usually to disable output [04:44] rawfodog: yes. If you've got something producing output that you don't want, you send it to /dev/null. [04:45] ok. Is it a temp file that I have to clean later or something ? [04:45] Or I don't have to worry about it ? [04:45] Well, when you start a daemon, if you don't want to have stdout/stderr closed or random things assigned to those file descriptors, you might re-open them on /dev/null. [04:45] It just incinerates what writes to it [04:45] rawfodog: no, it doesn't really use up any space, it's a typical system file/tool that's 'just there' [04:45] rawfodog: You don't have to worry. The kernel sucks it up and gets rid of it for you. [04:45] It just makes it dissapear. [04:45] rawfodog: nothing to worry about [04:46] ok cool :D [04:46] * Gnea proceeds to upgrade to 12.04 [04:46] (Actually, it takes the bits and puts them through a wormhole to the fourth dimension, and if you put in too much information, you can get sucked in along with it, but that doesn't happen very often. And there's never anybody left to tell the story, so we just keep quiet about it. :-)) [04:46] Heh. [04:46] lmao [04:46] I guess to line this in with the parallel security discussion, I read about a buffer exploit that had to do with outputting a program to dev/null [04:47] I'd love to see that exploit. [04:47] lol [04:47] one sec, I think it was in 2600 ... [04:47] Heh. [04:47] * Gnea facepalms [04:47] man, haven't heard or read anything from 2600 in a long time... [04:47] as in, pretty close to a decade [04:48] 2600..wow not since I worked at a bookstore in 2004 [04:48] 2002 maybe [04:48] ok, got it here. It was about a php rootkit. There is a ton of source I dont want to type but the juicy bit was .... "tar -xzf raroot.tgz &> /dev/null" [04:49] usually articles by hobos that talk about the tricks of the trade of how to dumpster dive [04:49] That tgz was some exploit kit. The authors explanation of this (he found it on his works computer) [04:49] is there a program I can install to a flash drive to fix my mbr/boot menu? [04:49] rawfodog: yeah, that's just outputting all of the output that the command would provide to /dev/null [04:49] whoops, he didnt explain it lol [04:50] So it wouldn't show up in a log ? [04:50] of course, it was an amateur method... the real method would be: tar -xzf raroot.tgz >& /dev/null 1>&2 [04:50] neat. I'm not a bad guy, but I always try to keep up to date as I can for work [04:50] rawfodog: it wouldn't show up in stdout (which is basically the terminal you're looking at at the time) [04:51] what does &> do ? === bryan is now known as cattune [04:51] Flashback to a freshman in college that had a backpack full of back issues, a laptop running win 2K with backorfice, he thought we was the business.

[04:52] is >& the same as >> ? [04:52] pr0metheu5: I usually use a livecd image on a flash drive to do that [04:53] >& redirects to an arbitrary file descriptor [04:53] rawfodog: no. >> is "append to the current file" while > just replaces anything that's in a file [04:53] gnea: yeah, I have like, 4 distros installed on my flash drive using multiboot, but the installer keeps crashing on all of them =s [04:53] the most common example is >&2 [04:53] redirect standard output to standard error [04:53] 2>&1 (using 2> instead of >) redirects stderr to stdout [04:54] man ... kind of confusing heh. GOod book to learn this ? [04:54] Ah, we now have an easy command to restore a "normal" level of security for the login screen: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -l false -i true [04:54] rawfodog: I prefer just using it and seeing how it functions, that's always been the best way I've found to learn it [04:55] thanks :) [04:55] this upgrade is going to take awhile, I should probably get some sleep [04:55] hopefully I will have a working GUI in the morning [04:55] So I would use >& for my log files then. It would work well with 'tail' [04:56] well, >& is good for using a file 'descriptor', like /dev/null. If you do a: ls -l /dev/null you'll notice that it has different permissions than a standard text file. [04:56] hi, dudes [04:56] so if you want to output to a logfile, use >> [04:57] k [04:58] rawfodog: best of luck learning!

If niggers are trying to move in your neighborhood, you have to put a stop to it right away or it will surely turn into a slum. If you are able, you might make it clear right away that yo [06:16] u dont like niggers. My dad had an old shed by his property line and spray painted KKK, and "Not here Niggers" on it. We are not KKK supporters but we were trying to think of something short and to the point to deter a potential nigger buyer. I suggest if possible you do the same.

[06:28] This question has been eating at me lately. I have been without Health Insurance for over 2 years due to finances and other extenuating living expenses. I just need to know how this Gibbs works. Do employed niggers have to pay for their Medical Insurance like the rest of us? [06:28] Do all welfare niggers recieve free Medicare regardless of their rap sheet and criminal record? [06:28] Since our country is apt to fortify the least productive and most pernicious members of society while the rest of us get screwed, it has been obvious that our country has been in self-destruct mode for quite some time. What was once intended as a Bandaid to help the destitute has become a responsibility of the government as our country slowly gets eaten away by the Black Plague.

Most AA nigs work at govt. jobs that provide health insurance such as the DMV. So in essence, yes because taxpayers are paying their salaries and benefits just like any other gibs. [06:29] Pretty much yes for everything. We basically have a law that we cannot leave folks in a worse state than they are. That's why gangbangers drop their homies off at the hospital when they've been beaten stabbed or shot. They have to patch them up, and guess who pays the bill [06:29] Watch Tom Borkaw's coverage on healthcare. You will be so pissed off! Basically an American taxpayer has an accident not his fault, is paralyzed, and healthcare gives him the run around. An illegal fence-climber / river swimmer comes in for "back pain", gets a free $1600 MRI to find its just sore muslces and only requires a bottle of [06:29] Ibuprofen. Doesn't pay a cent.

[06:33] Crippled nigger COONtact at bank today DISTURBING [06:33] I headed to the bank today to deposit my check and grab some lunch, the usual Friday ritual. The drive through ATM was closed so I went inside and the line was out the door, I walked back outside to the walk up ATM and in front of me was a skinny mammy in a muu muu, she must have been a crack head because she was under 200 lbs. She kept leaning WAY forward to punch the numbers and I was wondering what was going on. This is where [06:33] it gets disturbing. These was some evil ju ju shit, she had toddler arms. Thats right, grown 200 lb body and tiny shrunken toddler arms with deformed fingers fused together into a hideous mockery of hands. While she punched it in she would grunt and after she was done she stood back and waited for her Gov't money she flailed her nubs around. I was so shocked, her mammy must have smoked something while she was pregnant, this is like a [06:33] two headed snake or the deformed frog. I stopped a good 5 feet from her to just watch like a car wreck it was too hideous to look away. Now we have zombie niggers on bath salts, deformed niggers, and nodding niggers. Maybe natural selection is starting to rear its head? I waited for her to walk away and used my pocket purell to wipe down the machine, when she saw me she chimped out "you tink this b contagious?" Now I can never shut [06:33] up, so I said, " I sure as hell hope not, I just threw up in my mouth." And then I started laughing so hard I had tears running down my eyes because she started flailing her toddler arms and in a last act of defiance she used to mutated fingers to flip me off. I caused a cat 5 chimpout and wasnt even trying. [06:33] fgjfhdf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:40] So help me, I am so sick of niggers at work [06:40] I mentioned the other day that my workplace is going through a federal audit, conducted by examiners who are almost all niggers, and coordinated by two of our own niggers. Today, it all became worse. The audit is going really, really badly, simply because the two niggers just can't communicate. Dey is be caribeun peeps, gnomesayin mon? And even when I can make out their niggerese gibberish, [06:40] they always tell us the wrong things. Remember the phone game we played in school, where some smartass in the middle would intentionally reverse the message? These niggers do it out of sheer stupidity. During phase one of the audit, everyone was happy, efficient, and kicking ass. We had a different coordinator, a human as sharp as a tack, and needed only him. The first fed auditors had only [06:40] one, ONE nigger on their team, and he largely stayed silent.

This document needs to stay unfolded and uncreased, and a standard size envelope is no problem. But I didn't have a super-sized envelope to send the document with the return envelope, and unfortunately that meant going to our 95%-nigger mail [06:43] room. Think of the laziest niggers you've ever seen, and these are worse. They're shiftless and uncaring as any nigger, with a propensity for theft we expect from niggers, and the company's protection of. Being niggers, by nature they'll steal anything not locked down. They'll even steal Netflix DVDs! The couple of times I made the mistake of trusting their central drop-box, the disc always [06:43] took a week to get back to Netflix. The drop-box is slotted, and only the mail workers have access. Clearly the niggers were taking my rentals home, and putting them in the regular mail once everyone had a turn.

[06:47] Because of their theft, when I've sent surprise holiday packages to other offices, I'd make sure to casually show personal notes that doubled as invoices. "Oh, you know, to tell them exactly what I'm sending." Maybe they could re-open the package and steal the note, but I'd also send e-mails to make sure one of the boxes of chocolates didn't disappear, and that a plastic package wasn't lighter [06:47] than stated with signs of resealing. You can imagine how the niggers' eyes lit up when I'd bring in the fancy stuff, which I'd have mailed at my own cost if the packages weren't so heavy. As of yet they haven't tried stealing those. It would be too obvious, too easy to catch. [06:47] dsedeeddd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:47] So when I brought the documents today to the mail room, I anticipated some sort of rotten experience. Handing over the address and document, the nigger went to the back and took 10 minutes just to print out the two labels. That was bad enough. While I was waiting, the fat Hispanic girl tried flirting with me again, when she knows I'm married! What the hell, did she pick that up from the nigresses, [06:47] who think any hetero human male is ready for action on the side? [06:47] dsedeeddd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:47] I should have realized it was a mistake to let the nigger leave with the papers, that I should have just asked for the envelopes and labels to do it myself. He returned, having already slapped the label on the big envelope and sealed it with the papers inside. In his other hand, he held the small envelope. Duh! I am not making this up at all. What was he thinking, that we would fold the big [06:47] envelope and stuff it in the small one? I actually had to explain to this no-brain groid, God damn him, that the small one goes into the big one. I felt like a kindergarten teacher trying to tell a niglet that a square cannot go into a round hole. So he proceeded to rip the label off the big envelope, which of course didn't tear cleanly. There went another 10 minutes for him to go to the back [06:47] and print another. [06:47] What a waste of the middle of the afternoon, what a waste of a day.

This little walking shit comes upstairs starts singing [07:43] and dancing all over the place while I try my best to ignore her.

At this point I was left feeling like a retard for standing there and being spoon fed that bs. Then she comes up to me again and way too close at that.

[07:51] saturnast, its just such a complex system of characters. try this http://www.boutell.com/lsm/lsmbyid.cgi/000638 [07:51] don't want to just burst in here with a question but does anyone know about getting ubuntu to recognise all of my 7950 gx2 graphics card. It shows GPU 0 as on my monitor but GPU 1 has no secreen and it seems like my performance on games is hoorible [07:52] z3bra, sorry about the wait. perhaps ask on their channels or support for help compiling them. After all my googling, they do look like your only options. [07:53] Anyone on that gpu question? [07:54] Three seperate coontacts in one day [07:54] That has to be a record for me. I generally avoid niggers like a plague, but I found myself in the city for some business and damned if it wasn't a bumper crop of niggershines. [07:54] One, had to stop at a Food Lion and pick up a couple of quick grocery items. This was in a store that normally never has any significant amount of groids, but I guess AA took over. The sow at the register was too involved in her conversation with sow #2 to be bothered with my transaction or anything resembling work. She dwadled her way through at her own nigger pace until I visibly became [07:54] angry and insisted she move it along. As I left the store, two spooks of approximate teenigger age were trying to unload a pallet of bagged ice into a freezer. Each one was trying to see how much slower the other could work. The ice was melting and the niggers were busy trying to get the other to do the hard work. [07:54] Two, riding through town (on a bike) I was stopped in a rather serious traffic jam. As I inched along I ended up alongside a Honda Accord of mid-90's vintage with a sow at the wheel and a load of butt-nuggets in the back seat. Not one was restrained and not only did I notice this, but so did my friendly local police officer. Two in fact. Sow was trying to get out of this with lots of ooking [07:54] fghfdgfds: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:55] Number three on my coontact list is turning out to provide me the most entertainment. [07:55] A few days after seeing the watercraft in front of the nigger nest, it was then attached to niggers' hooptie with jumper cables in what I figure was an attempt at getting it started. I'd love to see the nigger trying to figure out how to use the jumper cables from his nigger ride a couple hundred feet offshore...... [07:55] A day or so after this, I saw it off its trailer and propped against the house. Not in some sort of way that would make you think it had a purpose, or logic. No, its literally on one side with the other against the house right under the front window basically occupying the flower bed now. WTF?

[08:01] j0lly: if 12.04 does what you need, why not use it? It's LTS too, seems like a lot of advantages over 11.10. [08:02] action. I messaged you, didnt know if you wanted the reply on this page or privately [08:03] ActionParsnip, sure, but i want to boot other distro on my machine, whicjis a macbook 2,1 with efi32bit and i want to do it in efi mode.... and i find out that in 12.04 the kernel load flawlessy and in 11.10 just reboot,... so i need tto find out what config i need to kompile a kernel to boot in efi mode [08:03] ActionParsnip, i think the easiest way is to diff the 2 config files [08:04] Action, do you want me to put the output here or to you privately?

[08:05] I was in line at the local convenience store two weeks ago on a Friday night. The closest corner store happens to be the busiest convenience store in town, it is always bustling and overflowing with patrons. The best part is that they have a sign up above the counter that says "Thornton's is here to give you back the time in your day" which I assume means they are quick to get you in and [08:05] fghfdgfds: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I'm just not sure where exactly to file the bug yet... [08:09] chris_: sudo dpkg -P nvidia-current nvidia-settings [08:09] chris_: you will then be able to reinstall the driver with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [08:10] That brings me up to 300 something version which was super slow with games [08:10] ActionParsnip, do you want me to upgrade then post settings again? The newest was slow with games too. I know this card isnt top of the line by any means but I'm pretty sure it can handle trine 2 and it wont even run it well at 640x480 windowed lol [08:11] BlitzHere: you should follow the link I sent the !bug message [08:11] An encounter with Foul Nigger Beast at lazer tag [08:11] I was playing lazer tag when foul nigger beast x3 decide to join.

You don't have the nvidia driver installed. Only remnanty configs. The dpkg command will clean them all out and you can reinstall the driver fully [08:14] ActionParsnip, even tho it shows the version installed I don't have it fully working? [08:14] ActionParsnip, used the sudo apt get command and now installing it, anything special I need to do to make this go properly? [08:14] chris_: exactly, so the dpkg command will remove it (the rc would have been ii if it were installed) [08:15] chris_: all you need is to install the nvidia-current package and it will install [08:16] Hilarious niggershines! [08:16] Just a few minutes ago i was working on my truck when the unmistakable screeching of a miniboon tore into my brain. Suddenly, 3 niglets and a full grown wigger came tearing around the corner, at first, i thought they were headed for me, i jumped up and ran straight at them (Yeah,that was kinda dumb)..Only, one second later, a 13-14 y.o. Asian kid and a couple of White chicks came out of [08:16] the alley and charged at the monkey pack as well! Behind them was AT LEAST 10 human kids of JR. High age. [08:16] The (niggers) wild eyed, broke left and escaped through the break between my building and a gas station ,I fell in behind the tide of angry humans curious to see what was happening! [08:16] Turns out, one of the niggers had stolen this little brunettes Ipod and the mob that chased them were her friends. DA PO-PO were pulling up and most of the kids scattered but pointing to the gas station..Choice comments they made as they ran off-- " The Obama looking motherfucker stole it!" , "Alioucious(?) is a robbing nigger!"

[08:19] American pavement apes chimping at outdoor barbeque. Coalburners come to the rescue. [08:19] So recently some girl brought me to a work party of hers. It was some giant outdoor barbeque with full catering and open bar for all the employees and their guests. She mentioned that there would be a lot of americans there since the company she works for has it's headquarters in the states and her american counterparts would be coming down to attend this party. Now I don't know this girl [08:19] too well, I met her at a party recently through a buddy and she took a liking to me and decided to invite me as her guest to her work barbeque. Little did I know her friends (her american counterparts at the company) are disgusting libtard coalburners. Now this girl is well aware of my view on groids (considering that the first question I asked her when I met her is whether she would ever sleep [08:19] with a groid). She clearly doesn't dislike them as much as me (since she has coalburner friends) but she respects my view of them and agrees about TNB due to her experiences with them when visiting the US. Now while enjoying my whiskey on the rocks with a medium rare steak, I suddenly heard the unmistakable ooks and eeks of the american pavement ape. Since it's not a common site in Eastern [08:19] Europe, I immediately turned around to find 2 disgusting pavement apes debating over who will take a picture of some hot waitress in a miniskirt who was catering at this party. Ironically enough, the coons were at a party where everyone was wearing a decent shirt, suit, and tie or at least wearing pants and shirts. They decided however that shirts were rayciss and decided to attend the party [08:19] snackpackdick: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:32] http://realestate.yahoo.com/news/ame...ies--2012.html [08:32] It’s no secret that the U.S. housing market has seen better days. From falling home values and impaired labor mobility to backed-up inventories and a flood of foreclosures, the real-estate downturn has affected the economy at large in countless ways. [08:32] One of the unfortunate results of a bad housing market are empty homes. Vacant properties have increased by 43.8 percent nationwide since 2000, according to the Census Bureau. Homes can be vacant for many reasons, but are defined by the bureau as both unoccupied rental inventory as well as homes that are unoccupied and “for sale.” As of 2011, there were about 14.3 million year-round [08:32] vacant housing units in the country, with a 10.6 percent gross vacancy rate that excludes seasonal vacancies such as vacation homes.

[08:44] always freezes somewhere in the middle of installing core [08:44] HiddenKnowledge: unity2D will run smoother :) [08:44] right after partitioning [08:44] I got arch working on it just fine earlier [08:44] the thing boots and is functional [08:45] it's a pentium 4, 60gig IDE hard drive, like 2.5 gigs of I think DDR2 ram [08:45] ActionParsnip: Still uses much more memory than I want linux to use, though. :P [08:45] from about 2001 [08:45] Hi again all. So, to start my machine without getting black screen on boot, i have to do the following. 1. hold shift on boot to load grub, and start recovery mode. 2. drop to root prompt and $ shutdown -r now. 3. on restart, select my normal boot. When i do this, i see all the details of the boot up until login screen and all is good. I have tried disabling splash and nomodeset, no fix. Is there any way just to replicate this b [08:45] ehaviour for all starts/restarts??? [08:45] ubuntu just refuses to finish installing [08:46] HiddenKnowledge: use LXDE then, its super light [08:46] morning everyone [08:46] HiddenKnowledge: or do away entirely with the DE and just use fluxbox [08:46] HiddenKnowledge: or xfce! [08:46] HiddenKnowledge: ubuntu minimal + fluxbox = ~1.2Gb installed :) [08:46] baumy: do you happen to have openbsd on the same computer you're installing ubuntu on? [08:47] nope [08:47] oh you are talking about HD space [08:47] had arch on it the first time I tried to install [08:47] i7c: both really [08:47] the second batch of times the drive was totally wiped [08:47] well Ubuntu + Xfce needs like 300MB on startup [08:47] RAM [08:47] i installed ubuntu yesterday, and created the lamp stack, but now I have just done a big update through the update manager and am receiving this message in my php error log: [08:47] 'SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' [08:48] is anyone familiar with this message and can help me resolve it?

I always clean install personally, seen too many issues after upgrades [08:49] baumy, i have a machine here that still has a 2in floopy and IR. I ran it as a medi server for a while (worked ok with usb hdd).

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support.

[08:52] any help with my black screen on boot issue. Have had this issue on this machine for ages (like last 4 versions of ubuntu). Read my above for a boot process i know works.

[08:55] regular account works fine, so it's specific to work account's homedir [08:55] ActionParsnip: 2.26 ghz [08:55] baumy: then its i686, the fastest i386 CPU is 40Mhz [08:56] ActionParsnip, as above, followed a post to edit .... sec, so in the /linux line of grub, ad that instead of just nomodeset?

[09:01] ActionParsnip: it works fine for a while until the step right after I partition and it starts to do the big bulk of the install, installing core system (I think that's what it said? something along those lines for sure) [09:02] then at a random point in there it'll freeze [09:02] once at 85% setting up python [09:02] hi there [09:02] once at 43% doing something with dhcp [09:02] but always somewhere in there [09:02] If anybody could give me a hand with a WiFi problem, it'd be greatly apprecieated.

How niggers are different from Humans [09:10] How Africans may differ from Westerners by Gedaliah Braun [09:10] I am an American who taught philosophy in several African universities from 1976 to 1988, and have lived since that time in South Africa. When I first came to Africa, I knew virtually nothing about the continent or its people, but I began learning quickly. I noticed, for example, that Africans rarely kept promises and saw no need to apologize when they broke them. It was as if they were [09:10] unaware they had done anything that called for an apology. [09:10] It took many years for me to understand why Africans behaved this way but I think I can now explain this and other behavior that characterizes Africa. I believe that morality requires abstract thinking—as does planning for the future—and that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African. [09:10] jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:11] I have concluded that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African. [09:11] “But we know all the words of Kikuyu; every Kikuyu does,” they replied. I was even more surprised, but gradually it dawned on me that since their language is entirely oral, it exists only in the minds of Kikuyu speakers. Since there is a limit to what the human brain can retain, the overall size of the language remains more or less constant. A written language, on the other hand, existing [09:11] as it does partly in the millions of pages of the written word, grows far beyond the capacity of anyone to know it in its entirety. But if the size of a language is limited, it follows that the number of concepts it contains will also be limited and hence that both language and thinking will be impoverished. [09:11] African languages were, of necessity, sufficient in their pre-colonial context. They are impoverished only by contrast to Western languages and in an Africa trying to emulate the West. While numerous dictionaries have been compiled between European and African languages, there are few dictionaries within a single African language, precisely because native speakers have no need for them. I did [09:11] find a Zulu-Zulu dictionary, but it was a small-format paperback of 252 pages. [09:11] nnnnnnnnnnn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:12] m1chael, not really, I haven't used ubuntu on a desktop in years, I use slackware/gentoo on my desktops, I have ubuntu on a few servers i maintain [09:12] Snowie: glad it worked, grub now uses grub.cfg which is generated using config files [09:12] m1chael, hey [09:12] baumy: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? If you used a CD, did you burn as slow as possible? [09:13] when you are booted with nvidia propetary drivers, do: glxinfo [09:13] ActionParsnip: no and no, but the cd worked on another computer [09:13] m1chael, actually, do: glxinfo|grep Direct [09:13] A light bulb seemed to go on in his mind. Yes, he said; in fact, the Zulu word for promise—isithembiso—is not the correct word. When a black person “promises” he means “maybe I will and maybe I won’t.” But, I said, this makes nonsense of promising, the very purpose of which is to bind one to a course of action. When one is not sure he can do something he may say, “I will try [09:13] but I can’t promise.” He said he’d heard whites say that and had never understood it till now. As a young Romanian friend so aptly summed it up, when a black person “promises” he means “I’ll try.” [09:13] The failure to keep promises is therefore not a language problem. It is hard to believe that after living with whites for so long they would not learn the correct meaning, and it is too much of a coincidence that the same phenomenon is found in Nigeria, Kenya and Papua New Guinea, where I have also lived. It is much more likely that Africans generally lack the very concept and hence cannot give [09:13] the word its correct meaning. This would seem to indicate some difference in intellectual capacity. [09:13] Note the Zulu entry for obligation: “as if to bind one’s feet.” An obligation binds you, but it does so morally, not physically. It is an abstract concept, which is why there is no word for it in Zulu. So what did the authors of the dictionary do? They took this abstract concept and made it concrete. Feet, rope, and tying are all tangible and observable, and therefore things all blacks [09:13] ubuntufanatixx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:24] She concluded that because good manners are clearly conventional rather than moral rules, the Manyika simply did not have a concept of morality. But how would one explain this absence? Miss Jacobson-Widding’s explanation is the typical nonsense that could come only from a so-called intellectual: “the concept of morality does not exist.” The far more likely explanation is that the concept [09:24] of morality, while otherwise universal, is enfeebled in cultures that have a deficiency in abstract thinking. [09:24] According to now-discredited folk wisdom, blacks are “children in adult bodies,” but there may be some foundation to this view. The average African adult has the raw IQ score of the average 11-year-old white child. This is about the age at which white children begin to internalize morality and no longer need such strong external enforcers. [09:24] Gruesome cruelty [09:24] ryanpauls: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:24] Another aspect of African behavior that liberals do their best to ignore but that nevertheless requires an explanation is gratuitous cruelty.

[09:26] Liberian billboard [09:26] Nevertheless, I was still surprised by what I found in the Zulu dictionary. The main entry for rape reads: “1. Act hurriedly; … 2. Be greedy. 3. Rob, plunder, … take [possessions] by force.” While these entries may be related to our concept of rape, there is one small problem: there is no reference to sexual intercourse! In a male-dominated culture, where saying “no” is often not [09:26] an option (as confirmed by the study just mentioned), “taking sex by force” is not really part of the African mental calculus. Rape clearly has a moral dimension, but perhaps not to Africans. To the extent they do not consider coerced sex to be wrong, then, by our conception, they cannot consider it rape because rape is wrong. If such behavior isn’t wrong it isn’t rape. [09:26] An article about gang rape in the left-wing British paper, the Guardian, confirms this when it quotes a young black woman: “The thing is, they [black men] don’t see it as rape, as us being forced. They just see it as pleasure for them.” (Rose George, “They Don’t See it as Rape. They Just See it as Pleasure for Them,” June 5, 2004.) A similar attitude seems to be shared among some [09:26] ActionParsnip; Sorry don't know about that.

She called it her “story,” and the final paragraph is a poignant illustration of what to Europeans would seem to be a limited understanding of love: [09:30] “On my way from school, I met a boy. And he proposed me. His name was Mokone. He tell me that he love me. And then I tell him I will give him his answer next week. At night I was crazy about him. I was always thinking about him.” [09:30] Moral blindness [09:30] Whenever I taught ethics I used the example of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French Army who was convicted of treason in 1894 even though the authorities knew he was innocent.

They're usually court appointments on criminal cases, and since the monkeys are too poor to bond out we dont have to worry much about seeing them unexpectedly. However we do have a nigger client on a divorce case. The buck is this uppity obese motherfucker who probably couldn't see muh dik enough to rape anything, but he did get [09:42] some sow pregnant with pickaninnines, and so they got married, and now she's had enough of living in their section 8 paradise, so she ups and runs with the sprogs across the state to go get her own welfare paradise and shack up with a violent felon ex con ape. Good times. He's on legal insurance so we have to take the case. [09:42] Well we've had to go one county over for court 4 times now, the expenses arent covered by the legal insurance, so the jigaboo is supposed to pay. let's ignore the fact that we've done 5000 in work so far on the case, we have to recover what we can from insurance. But we've run up over 1100 in costs and expenses for all the driving. Why my boss took the case I'll never know. Every time the [09:42] fucker calls me I want to grab a syringe and shoot air into my bloodstream and end it all. The fat fucker client is bad but his sheboon is worse.

The man that she named as the father, was also in prison and sentenced to a longer period as he was responsible for shooting those two men as they tried to flee the area. [09:48] The child, we will call him "Satan" (It is his real name after all) was cared for and eventually moved to a foster home which my then girlfriend's father owned. We will call him "The Miser". Mind you, The Miser had already raised two girls who turned out to be very attractive, smart, honest and loyal. The Miser had married a fucking ugly cunt of a new women after getting caught cheating on my [09:48] MIL, who is quite possibly the nicest woman in the world aside from my own mother and wife. This new woman the Miser married was a loser bitch, that could never find a man stupid enough to marry her nasty ass, so that meant she also wasn't having any kids. By the time she married the Miser, she was already an old bat who was past child-bearing age anyways. This is how/why they came to be foster [09:48] parents and how a nigger ended up in their home.

[09:48] teenage attack [09:48] Timeline - 12/1989 [09:48] This is where things started to get interesting. I had been dating my wife for around 8 months or so, which meant exposure to her family. Now for you young men out there. When you find a girl that looks like Cindy Crawford, has a mother that looks like an older version of Cindy Crawford and that mom has truly welcomed you into their family, you change. All that time spent with your friends [09:48] watching football, partying hard and doing man-stuff begins to shrink right under your nose. You also may experience making choices based on the desires of Cindy Crawford. These may sting a little bit, but after all, it is Cindy Crawford right? You will be surprised to see the choices you make in the interest of keeping Cindy's body connected to yours. I was no different. My Cindy leaned to [09:48] the left politically, she was all for integration and love for everyone and I accepted it. [09:48] As we approached Christmas, she was also the one who informed me that her Step-MIL (my assigned nickname is Chewy as in Chewbacca - I even have a ring tone that plays Chewbacca's cry of disappointment whenever she calls) has forced her dad into adopting little Satan, otherwise Chewy would leave him. She was going to get this child to call her own at any price, so at xmas time of 1989, Satan [09:48] dsage: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:49] Hmmm, wasn't #ubuntu using verification just now? [09:49] wtf [09:51] Timeline - 12/1995 [09:51] I managed to marry Cindy Crawford during this time, so now I have a nigger BIL, Chewy for a SMIL and the stingiest man in the world as my FIL. [09:51] Upon return of our wedding (which my FIL did not pay one penny for, Cindy's mother helped with those expenses) we were invited to dinner at The Miser & Chewy's place, to talk about stuff concerning the family. Cindy assumes something is wrong wih her dad, but we soon found out otherwise. [09:51] FIL: Now that you two are married, We have decided to modify my will to fit the family's needs. We are talking about it with you because you play an important role in the event of our death. [09:51] ME: What kind of role?

[09:58] write back nigga [09:58] uh yeah... like Satan has 20g that was stolen. Maybe 20g's is code for 20 dollars. In any case, it is a lie because he owes someone else. Oh yeah, the felonies? None of them were dropped. He was however nearing 16 years of age... Ummm yeah..... all this was discovered later, but you all get the point. More on this later.

[09:58] Cindy Crawford: Well dad, he sure does talk a lot differently these days. I don't know what happened, but last year he spoke with perfect English and now he talks like a thug in a gang. Have you talked to him about that? [09:58] The Miser: There is nothing wrong with the way he talks, it is in his culture. That is just the way his heritage is. It is Ebonics and it is documented as a language. We can't be upset with his culture can we? He could get offended. [09:58] Me: Wait a minute Mr. Miser, your telling me that Satan talks like that because of his Culture? Satan was raised right here in an English speaking house since he was an infant. He wasn't talking like this at Christmas. Satan was using manners most times, saying please and thank you and he was easily understood. How do you explain going from that to Ebonics? [09:58] The Miser: Dont you get it? That is just how he wants to talk so he will be accepted amongst his friends.

[10:00] metaphysician: I'm not sure that works with Upstart. Normally, you rename the .conf files in /etc/init in such a way that they no longer and in .conf (and thus are ignored) [10:00] metaphysician, that doesn't work with upstart [10:01] theadmin: i didn't get the last part of your sentence [10:01] metaphysician, with upstart, the only way to disable a service (and still be able to launch it on demand) is to edit the corresponding file in /etc/init and comment out the line starting with "start on" [10:01] metaphysician: Err... Okay, example: sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.disabled [10:01] how do you find out if the serice is managed by upstart or the traditional method? [10:02] metaphysician: If it's managed by Upstart, it has a .conf file under /etc/init, if that's not the case, it's still managed by Upstart, but in the backwards-compatible, /etc/init.d/ way [10:09] .. === christop1 is now known as cruztof [10:17] * cruztof [10:17] * cruztof [10:17] cruztof: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:35] why a script in init.d is not running at startup even when it has been added to the relevant runlevels via update-rc.d?

[11:55] root_ start with a question [11:55] MonkyDust, in alsamixer I can see my HDA Intel PCH as default, the second is my nvidia, all is unmuted and 100% volume levels [11:55] hiyas all [11:56] how do I auto-start apache2? it only has init.d scripts [11:56] pea_brain: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/source/clam-antivirus/ is something I found, not sure [11:57] enriq: it will do so if you install it from the repositories [11:57] enriq: you can symlink them into the rc level you want [11:57] Bramdw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/919809/comments/5 http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus [11:57] No idea Pitel, but I'm already working over 3 days to get onboard sound working with no succes, so if this continues I'll buy and try a discrete card and the xonar dg is one of the cheaper models available here [11:57] Launchpad bug 919809 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "[CMI8788] Xonar DG: no front panel support" [Undecided,Confirmed] [11:58] Anyonw tried to run ubuntu on the Raspberry Pi? [11:58] ActionParsnip: what does the following error mean ? messages similar to this is the main problem with my clamav: Ignoring mirror 27.96.54.66 (has connected too many times with an outdated version) [11:58] How do i reach a Virtual Machine made with KVM from my PC? [11:59] jrib, ActionParsnip, it is installed from repos and it doesn't start, and the symlinks exists and are ignored (also for other scripts) [12:00] MonkeyDust: in alsamixer, pavucontrol, aplay -l, all seems to be fine, I just don't get any sound [12:00] enriq: did it ever start? Can you start it now with « sudo service apache2 start »? Is there any output when you try? Have you changed any configuration files? [12:01] jrib, it starts ok with service apache2 start [12:02] jrib, but when server reboots it wont start again, it is added to relevant runlevels with update-rc... but ignored. same happens with tomcat6 [12:02] enriq: and my other questions? [12:03] enriq: what exactly did you do with update-rc.d? === MartinS is now known as Guest14853 [12:04] jrib, update-rc.c apache2 defaults === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest59976 [12:06] enriq: what is the output of « ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*apache* » [12:06] how do I get a "export TERM=xterm-256color" to 'stick' between sessions? [12:06] jrdnn, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-29 00:12 /etc/rc2.d/S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2 [12:06] Bramdw what you can do: boot a live cd / usb and play some audio from there, just to test the speakers themselves [12:07] How do i reach a Virtual Machine made with KVM from my PC? [12:07] jrib, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-29 00:12 /etc/rc2.d/S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2 [12:07] enriq: how are you determining apache is not starting after a reboot? [12:08] MonkeyDust: any suggestions for a live cd with a lot off multi media drivers out of the box? [12:08] I reboot and 1) port 80 is not responding, 2) service apache2 status says it is not running, 3) doing service apache2 start works [12:09] enriq: do you have other services that still use sysv-init style scripts working? [12:09] I am trying to install ati drivers for some time now and when writing aticonfig it says that there is no device and while installing the drivers I got an error that "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/Module.symvers is missing" so I thought I had to "prepare-kernel-source" but I get a similar error, here is the log: http://pastebin.com/cmz0rpEu [12:09] jrib, I think no [12:09] Bramdw not sure what you mean, surf to some video site and play music, while in the live session [12:09] jrib, I mean tomcat6 has exactly the same issue [12:09] enriq: and you have no idea why? Did they ever work? [12:10] everytime i open the hud in firefox it craches. Any suggestions on how to fix that? [12:10] jrib, I dont know, I "inherited" this server [12:10] Waynes: natty is EOL really soon [12:10] enriq: hmm... What's the output of « ls -l /etc/init/rc* [12:10] jarco: is it the same in Unity2D? [12:11] ActionParsnip, Unsure I will test [12:11] enriq: oh and what version of ubuntu? [12:11] jrib, 10.04 and http://pastebin.com/Yf4sqhsi [12:11] ActionParsnip: Thanks, will install something else. [12:12] Waynes: yeah Natty dies in October. Why such an old release? Precise is the latest stable release and is LTS, giving support all the way to 2017... [12:12] enriq: output of « runlevel » is "N 2"? [12:12] jrib, yes [12:13] enriq: that /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf should be responsible for running the sysv-init style scripts [12:13] ActionParsnip: Well...backtrack 5 had all the drivers preinstalled. [12:13] jrib, should I have some apache2.conf in etc/init (for upstart or something) [12:14] Waynes: yes, its a different distro so will have different stuff installed by default [12:14] is Ubuntu regarded as a lightweight distro? [12:14] enriq: nope [12:14] Waynes that's a different distro [12:14] folmer: hardly [12:14] folmer: it can be [12:14] hm. How in comparison to win7? [12:14] folmer: default ubuntu: no. But there is a minimal installer that you can add whatever packages you like to [12:15] folmer: in what way? The question is too vague [12:15] !minimal > folmer [12:15] folmer, please see my private message [12:15] folmer: lightweight would be lubuntu and/or xubuntu [12:15] hay [12:15] folmer: Win7 is nearly 10Gb installed, a full Ubuntu install is about 4Gb [12:16] folmer win7 inevitably becomes slow after some time, ubuntu does not [12:16] folmer: if you want light then install minimal then install fluxbox, it will give a super light OS but will require more work from you for config [12:16] awesome responses, thanks all of you :) [12:16] folmer: I'm running UbuntuSTudio and it barley cracks 5G [12:17] MonkeyDust: what would the prime reason for win7 slowdown be? [12:17] folmer: ask in ##windows for windows support [12:17] well it IS windows after all ... [12:18] where should I put this export TERM to make it stick? it seems to get reset when log in again [12:18] enriq: if no one has a better suggestino, I would start adding some echo or touch lines to the various scripts that should be getting call to try to figure out where it fails. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf seems to call /etc/init.d/rcS which seems to call "/etc/init.d/rc S". Do you understand? [12:19] actually I was asking because I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a rather old (2007) laptop, and I was thinking if I had anything to gain performance wise by installing a lightweight (lubuntu/xubuntu) distro [12:19] jrib, I see two lines, one is [ -n "${FROM_SINGLE_USER_MODE}" ] || /etc/init.d/rcS [12:20] folmer: quite possibly yes. lighter load on limited resources, especially ram [12:20] jrib, I guess this means that the line is only executed in single user? [12:20] jrib, the other line is telinit [12:21] cfhowlett: yeah I would think so. But what I do believe to be the biggest culprit is the slow disk (5400 rpm). [12:22] cfhowlett: Not sure if it's worth the time/effort [12:22] folmer: 5 year lifespan for a 2007 laptop? Ya done good. But consider a buying a new one ... [12:23] folmer: you can just install lubuntu-desktop and get the same, there is no difference in the underlying OS between Lubuntu and Ubuntu [12:23] cfhowlett: ya, exactly :) [12:23] folmer: or replace the HDD [12:23] folmer: agen is fairly irrelevant, all you need is the system specs. What CPU speed and RAM do you have? [12:23] oxygene [12:24] ActionParsnip: core 2 duo (1.8 or so), 2gb ram [12:24] folmer exactly what i have too [12:25] MonkeyDust: don't you think it's rather slow? [12:25] folmer i'm happy with it [12:25] hm [12:26] folmer: thats more than anything I have, you'll be fine [12:26] folmer: what video chip? [12:27] ActionParsnip: I don't know. Crap intel integrated, probably not the newest even for it's time (2007) [12:27] Intel Moblie 4 series [12:27] folmer what do you use your laptop for? [12:27] folmer: should be ok then [12:28] folmer: same same, 2009 vintage. Basic photo/video editing, audio mixing and even the rare game now and then. All are running well. [12:28] folmer, should be OK for most things, maybe slow for develpment if you need for example a database and an IDE [12:29] folmer, even for audio recording and sequencing should be ok [12:29] really? [12:29] I don't use it for much else than browsing/torrenting etc [12:29] more than enough [12:31] sure it's enough, but my reference is my i7-2600 4.6, 8gb ram, SSD :P [12:31] folmer: Ubuntu isn't a big RAM hog like Windows [12:31] how do i showdown system ,when i press shutdown it doesn't not shutdown the system just logout [12:31] folmer: i've seen more than that [12:32] samba35: try: sudo shutdown -h now and it will turn off [12:32] ActionParsnip: I would think it wasn't. That's why I went with Linux in the first place. But it's still somewhat lacking. Possibly I jut have too high standards, but I'm exploring the possibilities if I'm doing something horribly wrong by using standard Ubuntu [12:33] yes that way its working (from terminal ) but from gui its not working [12:33] folmer what are you lacking? [12:33] sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -h it works [12:33] folmer: try logging in to Unity2D and the UI should be faster [12:33] MonkeyDust: responsiveness from the system in general, I guess [12:33] but now from gui [12:34] ActionParsnip: I've tried Unity 2D. Not really any improvement [12:34] folmer, your i7 has windows on it? [12:34] samba35: shutdown doesn't have a -y option or -g (just checked man page) [12:34] folmer yeah, then try lubuntu as DE, transmission for torrents and Chromium (with ghostery plugin) for browsing the internet [12:35] enriq: yup, virtualboxing various linux distroes [12:35] hmm let me try again [12:35] folmer: You could install lubuntu-desktop package, log off and log in to the lubuntu session [12:35] <__gilles> hi [12:35] <__gilles> anyone bored interesting in testing a package for a new MTA ? [12:35] <__gilles> interested i meant [12:35] cheers, I'll try lubuntu-desktop then. Are there any funky problems with installing more than one DE? [12:36] folmer, the way to happiness is stop using windows :) [12:36] enriq: I'm trying, but the games keep me tied :) [12:36] folmer no, i have it, for testing and support purposes :) [12:37] folmer: Don't worry, steam is coming soon to Linux. === Jason is now known as Guest77244 [12:37] folmer: none at all, you can use any apps in any DE too [12:37] islandmonkey: yeah I heard. But we're still stuck with EA games on Origin then [12:37] folmer, lol... many games run on wine too [12:37] islandmonkey: Soon != Valvetime :D [12:37] folmer: also lots of native games [12:38] strange [12:38] I was under the impression that Wine wasn't really a viable solution for running games [12:38] y is for yes and g is for grace time if i use g1 it will shutdown system after 1 min [12:39] folmer: For some that is [12:39] g5 it will shutdown system after 5 mints [12:39] enriq: no, that line should be executed if the FROM_SINGLE_USER_MODE variable is *not* set (I think) [12:39] samba35: Will it shut down after 5 thymes xD [12:39] Or 5 rosemarys? [12:40] samba35: according to the man page, you use: +m60 for 1 hour later etc [12:40] if getconf LONG_BIT returns 32 and grep --color=always iw lm /proc/cpuinfo returns 2 blocks with lm, indicating 64 bit, am i then running 32 or 64 bit ? [12:40] samba35: what are you saying 'yes' to in a shutdown? [12:40] islandmonkey, can you please tell me more about thymes xD sorry i dont understand that [12:41] it seems the finnish locale is bit messed up. the clock syntax uses . instead of : (12.34 instead of 12:34). Easiest way to fix? [12:41] islandmonkey: does BF3 run? D3? SWTOR? Do you know? [12:41] samba35 there's also 'sleep' in combination with 'shutdwon' [12:41] let me google [12:41] folmer: I've head diablo3 runs, no idea what swtor is.. [12:41] samba35: why not just run: man shutdown [12:41] hello [12:41] ActionParsnip: Starwars the old republic [12:42] yes did that [12:42] is there actually a way to install ubuntu on a white macbook (4,1)? I have tried everything, and nothing works [12:43] Stavros: uh, works fine on my black macbook 4,1 [12:43] Stavros: what version? [12:43] jrib, jesus, tell me how you did it? [12:43] 12.0 [12:43] 5 [12:43] 4 [12:43] Stavros: there was a bug at some point where you couldn't install the 64bit version. Let me check release notes for 12.04 [12:43] !notes [12:43] folmer: http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7626 doesn't seem to work in crossoiver so it's likely to not ruin in wine [12:43] Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release notes can be found here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.04 [12:43] !appdb | folmer [12:44] folmer: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [12:44] jrib, the problem is that i either get "operating system not found", or it just gives me a black screen with a white cursor _ [12:44] cheers [12:44] Stavros: are you using refit? [12:44] jrib, i tried both with and without. i deleted the MBR now to get a pure-EFI boot, but that didn't work [12:44] now i can't figure out how to reinstall refit without an OS X partition [12:44] Stavros: I've had this install for a while and have just been upgrading [12:45] !mac | Stavros [12:45] Stavros: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [12:45] Stavros: I followed what's there (and used refit) [12:45] jrib, the whole thing would break for me if i upgraded the kernel, so i decided to do a clean install [12:45] jrib, yeah, i've tried that multiple times ;/ [12:45] are you dual booting? [12:45] I've installed drivers for my broadcom card (BCM4306) but when I try to connect to a wifi network, it doesn't work. When looking at dmesg, it says that wlan0 has timed out trying to connect to [mac address of my router]. Anyone know what could be causing this error: [12:45] Stavros: yeah I left os x so i could fetch firmware upgrades [12:45] error*? [12:45] jrib, hmm, my disk is way too small so i took it out, i don't think it'll fit [12:46] and i don't think there's a way to install refit without an OS X partition, sadly [12:46] Stavros: I think that's true === belluzzo is now known as mbelluzzo [12:47] Stavros: oh the amd64 issue with macs was back in 10.10 so I guess that doesn't apply anymore [12:47] jrib, hmm, do you have the 64-bit version? [12:47] hi! how can i kill a 'stuck' download in ubuntu software center [12:47] Stavros: yeah [12:47] hmm thanks [12:48] is there a way to use Alt+Tab with cairo-dock? [12:48] Munz: could kill the software centre, then [12:48] Munz: Pressing the X doesn't work?

[12:52] kuttan_, the best help I can offer there is to get rid of it and use postfix or exim :-) [12:52] islandmonkey: looking for !yay [12:53] thank u , agree 100% , but somebody else needs help. [12:53] where are the folder icons that have those little images on the, like Pictures, Music etc.? [12:53] delac try pixmaps [12:54] MonkeyDust: nope, not there [12:54] delac: those are just icons for the folders, they aren't folders with emblems [12:54] ActionParsnip: but there must be icons for them [12:54] hi [12:54] delac, I think you want displaying thumbnails [12:55] does someone know a good XML editor for Linux that has XPath support (preferably from the ubuntu repos) [12:55] compdoc: no, I want to create a folder to desktop that has little images on them [12:56] delac: absolutely [12:57] Hello i am trying to reach my Guest OS'es ( with RDP ) on my server by entering going to the server's ip address ( 192.168.1.10 ) and then the port.

[13:26] ambine: you can resize the last partition of your disk [13:27] then create a new partition there, and install windows on it, then add the entry to your grub config [13:27] ambine: boot to your Ubuntu install CD and resize your partition to make space [13:27] ambine: you will need to boot back to the same UbuntuCD after the install as the Win7 installer will blindly overwrite grub on the mbr [13:28] ambine tip: install windows first, or you will have to repair grub [13:28] So im using vmware and ubuntu 12.04. Is Qt already installed so I can use it with C++? [13:28] Qtr: are you using kde as the DE?

However, I've just updated to Ubuntu 64-bit 12.04 from 32-bit 12.04 (new comp) and tried the b43-fwcutter fix, but it only worked till I rebooted. Now it doesn't work at all...Ubuntu is detecting the network, tries to connect,... [13:55] ...asks for the WPA2 key, and then doesn't connect...I've tried "sudo modprobe b43", still nothing.

The thing is, if I run a different xsession, the sound is going by default through the integrated card, but since I'm only running jwm over there, I don't get any fance gui to select soundcards, so I was wondering if there is any command than allows me to change from one soundcard to the other, without having to run another instance of gnome in that xsession.

[15:18] subz3r0: my only complaint is that it doesn't get rolling releases :/ [15:18] Phantomas: sudo alsa --reload maybe [15:19] gaelfx, cant add a deb? [15:19] jacta: try and you can change your mind, but rtorrent is quite tricky, I use to use it and feel like not gaining enough for such troubles [15:19] Phantomas: couldn't you alsamixer and mute/unmute all channels? [15:19] there is a transmission ppa, not sure how up to date it is [15:19] subz3r0: can, but ppa is slow/unreliable [15:19] Erwyn, idle time -- what is that from? [15:19] from torrent is done? [15:20] jacta: yes leeching time from torrent done [15:20] gaelfx: I want this to be forced for non-sudoers [15:20] if nobody is leeching for the time you set, since the torrent is done, then, deactivate it [15:23] When I do (export PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1), and I run a python script, python stops to create a .pyc files, but it's still creating those files when I add (PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1) to my .bashrc file? [15:23] Erwyn, where did you find the setting to get it to run as daemon? [15:23] why? [15:23] jacta: it automatically run as a daemon: /etc/init.d/transmissiond [15:24] hsnmck, did you say 'export PY...' in your bashrc? [15:24] And are you starting the script from a new terminal? [15:24] Erwyn, not here - no such file [15:24] http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/transmission [15:24] everything is here [15:27] Seveas, no I just did PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 [15:27] Seveas, but when I do echo $PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE, it gives me 1 [15:27] hsnmck, well that's the problem then, that export is needed to make commands launched from the shell see it [15:28] Seveas, it worked thanks [15:28] jacta: sorry, french link, look for transmission-daemon on internet [15:29] jacta: you'll find what you are looking for [15:30] How do I disable ATK / Assistive Technology under Unity?

[15:44] ActionParsnip, with nomodeset I have been able to install nvidia drivers and successfully install ubuntu [15:44] Lirth: gnome-alsamixer in conclusion with pulseaudio allows that, amongst others [15:44] thanks for your help, it drove me to the right path [15:44] Mkay. So. I have an nvidia card with three display ports. DVI, VGA, and HDMI. I have plugged monitors into all three. What do I have to do to get triple head working? Because right now, it's just not working. [15:44] Searli: of course, you shouldn't have to delete any of the applications you recognize, just anything else, especially if you're not sure what it is or where it came from [15:45] @gaelfx .... hmmmm I dont think so .... [15:45] @searli ya basically all settings are stored in home folder under ur usename [15:45] Searli: and almost everything in your home folder with a . in front is a config file/folder [15:45] I know ... but htat inclides tomboy / thunderbird / skype etc etc ... I am not going to wipe those [15:46] my external mouse and keyboard are no longer working. Any ideas for diagnosing the problem and fixing? [15:46] Searli: yeah, like I said, you don't have to delete the ones you know you want to keep, just eveerything else [15:47] Well in that case it would be only .compiz-1 [15:47] Searli: try to search compwiz and unity lens from synaptic package manager [15:47] and reinstall it [15:47] ok [15:48] thanks ActionParsnip and DasEi :) [15:48] @gaelfx help me with the vga port of my laptop [15:48] Why does Ubuntu refuse to turn on three monitors at once?!

[15:49] Hi, I think I'm finally getting grips withthe problem. For some reason, it seems as if the Pulseaudio server is denying connections from my user. What could be causing this and how can I solve it? In the pulseaudio manager it says in status: connection refused [15:49] hi all [15:49] @gaelfx its not working .... when i first try ubuntu from live cd it works but after installing ubuntu it doesn't [15:50] I remember that in trying something on a different xsession togetting the sound to work, I ran pulseaudio --system, and got all sorts of warnings about running pulseaudio in system mode, but didn't pay attention at all.

[15:52] sorry ActionParsnip, I missed your reply, by guest do you mean the os i've installed within virtualbox? [15:52] hi I need help with an ahci issue installing ubuntu desktop. my computer supports SATA only in IDE mode .. [15:52] if so it's windows 7 [15:52] and Ubuntu seems to need ahci .. [15:53] ubuntu doesnt need ahci [15:54] jstacey, yes, you need to set it to AHCI. why does your computer not support AHCI ?? [15:54] is there a switch I can use during the install bootup ? [15:54] long story.. [15:54] jstacey, if any other OS needs ide mode, reinstall it with sata drivers [15:54] I have an asus board with first generation sata, [15:55] bios has no ahci option, just defaults to ide mode [15:55] Ok, so I have a printer on ubuntu connected with samba to a windows computer, but I don't know where to find corrent drivers for windows [15:55] and when I boot the install it times out waiting for ata (slow to respond) [15:55] the generic text only drivers works, but only outputs text, no graphics :/ [15:56] I was supposed to find a generic postscript driver, but I can't find any [15:56] most people just enable ahci in bios, thats not an option for me [15:56] the_dudez0r: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7130/1 [15:56] jstacey, sounds like bad luck with that hardware, can't help you with that. [15:56] windows is fine in IDE mode but not ubuntu.. at least by default .. since it uses software raid and all [15:57] jstacey, ah, most important to mention raid. [15:57] jstacey, still can't help you [15:57] What's the default CD/DVD burner in Unity? [15:57] anyone ever have an issue with ntfs mounts displaying more free space than there acutally is?

[15:59] How braindead that it's not the default handler for either blank media or iso files. [16:00] OerHeks: it does [16:00] cuz ahci hasn't been around forever [16:01] DasEi, shouldn't this problem be tackled the other way, he needs a raid install, so he needs the alternate cd [16:01] ? [16:01] funny thing is I can install to an IDE drive no problem, but my sata port with ide mode is cr@p [16:02] jstacey: just to be sure, you verified both, md5sum and media's self-test ? that's the most common problem, a bad burn (is why I prefer usb) [16:02] it's a usb boot (linuxlive) [16:03] OerHeks: I need more info, for mdadm one can first install regular to one drive and then setup whatever raid, too [16:03] !bootoptions [16:03] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset.

[16:47] might be but I have no idea what's broken so I can't tell which channel is the right one [16:47] I've installed X-Chat on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation with Gnome 3 Shell. But it doesn't show up notifications. [16:47] How am I supposed to fix it? [16:47] how do i set a time server to update the ubuntu time? [16:47] Turtok: try #cmake, they apparently have a channel here on Freenode. [16:48] Xcytre, try to edit /etc/ntp.conf [16:48] surpristing, thanks, I'll try there [16:48] You can edit the configuration file to input any NTP you wish to use for the time. [16:48] Xcytre: or add a command in cron to update the time [16:49] Thanks Morpheus, Action [16:49] MorpheusChalice: about xchat, I think there was some fixes for that in later svn revisions, so I'd just build it myself [16:49] You're welcome. ^^ [16:49] Good luck with it. [16:49] Gnome-session-fallback does not go fullscreen when playing youtube videos or using virtualbox. The top and bottom panels always remain there. Any solutions? [16:49] okay, doesn't the Ubuntu repository provide updates? [16:49] Or I am supposed to build it manually too. =\. [16:49] MorpheusChalice: it's not that, it's that those revisions were never put in an actual release [16:50] I am using precise pangolin with gnome, but I can't get the power manager icon to show up in the tray. The .desktop file refers to Exec=gnome-power-manager, but there is no gnome-power-manager in my path and the gnome-power-manager package only contains the gnome-power-statistics binary. What's going on? [16:50] bhavesh, set the panel to auto-hide. [16:50] honestly, the notifications are shit anyways and I'd rather make a perl plugin for xchat to do it through notify-send (I was actually considering this earlier this morning when I was bored) [16:50] If I'm trying to use my local-mirror for Ubuntu 12.04 I always get: [16:50] choose-mirror [4116]: WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (presice) [16:50] I think this has something to do that the new release is precise instead of presice. [16:50] Can you help me? [16:50] okay, can a python plugin do it? Since I am not into perl. [16:50] MorpheusChalice, But I want to see them always except when I go fullscreen. They look awesome <3 [16:51] koning_robot: checked power settings, there should be an option of when to show the icon [16:51] !sentence | dhanasekaran [16:51] MorpheusChalice: I'm just saying, you could make a script to do notifications however you like [16:51] All right. =). [16:51] bhavesh, [16:51] yes? [16:52] Guys I trying pxe based preseed installation I got error WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (presice) [16:52] Install Auto Hide Top Panel extension. [16:52] Which should fix it. [16:52] dhanasekaran: use another mirror [16:52] It automatically hides itself when a full screen application is being run. [16:52] Should I fetch you a link? [16:52] MorpheusChalice, Extensions run in Gnome-session-fallback? [16:52] !repeat | dhanasekaran [16:52] dhanasekaran: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:52] dhanasekaran: take advantage of syaptic to find fastest mirror, use that [16:52] DasEi, I trying my local mirror, I already download full mirror [16:52] ah , ic [16:53] http://www.muktware.com/articles/3059/auto-hide-top-panel-gnome-3-can-ubuntu-unity-catch could work for you, bhavesh. [16:53] DasEi, I am not using syaptic, I trying preseed based installation.. [16:53] dhanasekaran: so obviosly you set a wrong nale in your local repo then, you can find it easy under a howto setup local mirror [16:54] DasEi, based PXE Boot [16:54] dhanasekaran: i got it [16:54] i am a noob please help me [16:54] inky1 shoot [16:54] lol [16:54] I have this computer and it doesnt work [16:55] *pang* [16:55] I want to create a script and then a launcher to run > sudo pm-hibernate ... but without the need to enter the password each time... how can I do this? [16:55] dhanasekaran: so obviously you set a wrong name in your local repo then, you can find it easily under a howto for setting up a local mirror [16:55] ActionParsnip: I already found that and set it to display the icon when a battery is present, but it didn't save my choice. In fact I can't get it to save my choice at all. [16:55] DasEi, I tried checking local machine working good for apt-get update , apt-get install configured working good, But unable to use preseedd based installation [16:55] MonkeyDust: can you help me? [16:55] dhanasekaran: the preesed-control file borked ?! [16:55] inky1, you haven't actually asked anything yet... [16:55] inky1 a question is a good start if you want help [16:55] technically I just did [16:55] * DasEi needs break, typo-king [16:56] JenniferB2, are you using Gnome 3? [16:56] nevermind guys, thanks for the help [16:56] you were awesome [16:56] !ask | inky1 [16:56] inky1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:56] DasEi, How check preeseed-control file borked [16:56] MorpheusChalice, I highly doubt that extensions work on gnome-session-fallback.. [16:56] MorpheusChalice: no [16:56] bhavesh, it did work for me. [16:56] JenniferB2, unity? [16:56] No.. does this matter? I asked how I can create script ... forget about hibernate [16:56] =\. [16:57] Fine, well in terminal, type gksu gedit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla [16:57] And then paste the following to it : [16:57] [Enable Hibernate] [16:57] Identity=unix-user:* [16:57] Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate [16:57] ResultActive=yes [16:57] MorpheusChalice: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:58] Why does 12.04 ship with such an old kernel? [16:58] Is there any GTK frontend for the SELinux configurator? [16:58] MorpheusChalice: thanks, but this is specifically related to the pm-hibernate command ... forget that part ( I am not really on ubuntu but xubuntu ) ... so.. I will ask my question again ... reformulated [16:58] mang0, it doesn't, actually. At the time of 12.04's release, 3.2 was the latest available. === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [16:59] 3.2 or 3.1, I am not quite sure. [16:59] mang0, upgrade will give you a new kernel. [16:59] I want to create a script and then a launcher to run > sudo rm -r * ... but without the need to enter the password each time... how can I do this? [16:59] MorpheusChalice: Ah, I see.... [16:59] mang0, you can however install the updates. [16:59] OerHeks: Yeah, my problem is that my wifi card doesn't work properly with the old kernel, so I have no internet to do updates with ! [16:59] This'll update the kernel image to the latest available. [16:59] yeah [17:00] JenniferB2: yes you can allow specific command to be run with sudo without being prompted for a password [17:00] how do i access the terminal? i had to search for it... [17:00] !netsplit [17:00] Darn netsplits. [17:00] -- [17:00] Right click it, keep in launcher [17:00] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [17:00] aether: please enlighten me :) [17:01] JenniferB2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=19236 [17:01] JenniferB2, you'd need to enter the password to turn a script that requires sudo privileges. [17:01] MorpheusChalice, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/42/auto-hide-top-panel/ [17:01] bhavesh, http://www.fpmurphy.com/gnome-shell-extensions/autohidetopbar-2.0.tar.gz [17:01] That's the alternative link which works. [17:01] Since Gnome Extension no longer maintains the third party plugin. [17:01] hello , is it possible that "linux-generic" packages was updated without "linux-headers/image-generic" ? (Which breaks dependencies ?) [17:01] okay. Thank you === root_ is now known as 14WAAGCYD [17:02] Let me know if the link worked for you, bhavesh. [17:03] ok [17:03] Likely DX099, if the update was interrupted. [17:03] During installation of the updates, to be precise. [17:04] MorpheusChalice, it won't even install, aptitude says the package is NOT there, so it never even began to install [17:04] DX099, can you paste me the exact error it returns? [17:04] Getting bored asking this question for weeks now... How do I disable ATK / Assistive Technology under Unity? [17:05] It's under the cog menu in top right of the screen, duncan-nz. [17:06] MorpheusChalice, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1108569/ [17:07] MorpheusChalice, I've looked there - take a look. There are setting for ATK, but not way to turn the whole system off. [17:07] DX099, I see no problem continuing the installation. =\. That isn't quite an error. [17:07] I suggest you manually download the packages from Synaptic. [17:08] MorpheusChalice, I'm assuming you mean under System Setting > Universal Access [17:08] I've just tried to perform a dist-upgrade on a fairly standard Ubuntu server, and I seem to have hit a snag. Note lines 30-32: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/94e7d20b/ [17:08] MorpheusChalice, but it says they are "virtual package", doesn't that mean that the package even doesn't exist ? [17:08] I have 2.1 available gigabytes on my drive, but [17:08] DX099: are you attempting to install 3.5.0-6 on precise? [17:08] it seems to be complaining about having no available disk space [17:08] duncan-nz, remove libbatk-1.0-0 and lib-atk-adaptor. [17:09] MorpheusChalice, Does not work. Restarted shell by logging in again and then enabled the extension [17:09] Perhaps that can solve it. [17:09] DX099, they actually do, you might want to look up for it in synaptic. [17:09] trism, yes [17:09] bhavesh, are you sure you enabled the extension? [17:09] MorpheusChalice, thanks - I'll try that. [17:09] MrKronecker, kernels get installed into /boot, I'm guessing it's on a separate filesystem and now full. Try removing a few old kernels [17:09] yes I did with : gnome-shell-extension-tool -e autohidetopbar@fpmurphy.com MorpheusChalice === dimis is now known as dimitris [17:10] Hmm... Weird, because it works for me, and I installed it about a month ago. [17:10] DX099: you would need to download all of those packages, linux-generic is just a metapackage which installs those three packages [17:10] And it works fine for me with my youtube videos. [17:10] trism, but what if : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1108569/ [17:10] MorpheusChalice, I think I should relog after enabling it === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [17:10] bhavesh, try doing that. [17:10] trism, but removing and re-installing linux-generic will also automatically install all the packages needed to resolve the dependency. [17:11] Oh wait, you're right. It's on a separate device. Thanks === juarlex_ is now known as juarlex [17:11] MorpheusChalice: he is installing kernels not yet in the precise repos, so he either added repos or just downloaded the linux-generic deb, which will not be able to resolve the deps (since they are not in the precise repos yet) [17:12] Oh. I didn't notice his version, trism. [17:12] I'll scroll up, probably. [17:12] MorpheusChalice, still does not work [17:12] Pretty weird. =\. Are you using gnome fallback, bhavesh? [17:13] MorpheusChalice, yes ofc I am. [17:13] bhavesh, I suggest you try it on gnome-shell [17:14] DX099: how did you add the linux-generic package? adding repos to sources.list or just downloaded the deb? [17:14] DX099: as an aside, we are testing the lts-backport-quantal right now which will eventually be in 12.04 if you want to help test that instead: http://unbrokenspectrum.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/test-quantal-kernels-on-precise/ === collin is now known as collinday [17:15] MorpheusChalice, trying to remove libbatk wants to take most of my system with it, gimp, java and all sorts. So I've just dumped the lib-atk-adapter, maybe that will help. === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan [17:16] duncan-nz, perhaps you should try removing all the packages of gnome-accessibility manually. [17:17] A list of it can be found on packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnome-accessibility [17:17] thanks === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:18] hi there, im on ubuntu 12.04 desktop - i just installed via the GUI installer and everything went fine, but when I try to boot now i get a flickering screen that all off-center. im running a radeon 6850 but i also have an i3 with integrated gfx that im not using. i was wondering if anyone could help me out? [17:19] trism, the package was installed through the repos, I learned some lessons and usually never try to install solitary debs on their own... [17:19] collincday, you must install the proprietary drivers. [17:19] And also, use the fix splash script for Plymouth. [17:19] DX099: are you using 12.04 or 12.10? what is lsb_release -sc; ? [17:19] Regarding the script, packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnome-accessibility could help you collincday. [17:20] trism, I'm using 12.04 [17:20] DX099: then you must have added some repos, what did you add? [17:21] DX099: better, what is: apt-cache policy linux-generic; ? [17:22] My spotify is crashing as soon as it comes up, it just started happening today. Any ideas? [17:22] MorpheusChalice: Thanks. So I can install the drivers through the recovery boot option? [17:22] collincday, not really. [17:22] collincday, you can install the drivers while still in a desktop environment. [17:22] Like unity or gnome3.

[17:39] MorpheusChalice, oh [17:39] MorpheusChalice, lol the command completed successfully [17:39] Godspeed. [17:39] ^^ [17:39] er now what? [17:39] Well, open up my computer. [17:40] =). [17:40] himanshu_m786: try right clicking the network icon in the bar, go to edit connectoins, find it under wired connections, open it up and check the connect automatically box [17:40] MorpheusChalice, YAY [17:40] t:D [17:40] TY [17:40] From India, bhavesh? [17:40] yes [17:40] Achha. =) [17:40] :) [17:40] MorpheusChalice, this is so silly. All I can find is a "Passwords and Keys" app. AFAIK I've only installed the bare gpg. I can't find anything that seems like it might be of use... [17:41] bhavesh, try unmounting the drive before shutting the machine down. [17:41] usually, it corrupts the data in the folder otherwise. [17:41] okay: when you press the hardware button, does it show in the center of the screen or on the top right? [17:41] trism: top right [17:41] Since it doesn't add System Volume Information to network drives. [17:41] MorpheusChalice, okay [17:41] =). [17:41] okay: odd, sounds like notify-osd then, I'm not sure [17:41] okay : yes i did that , but it is not for that .. means it is to connect again if there is any disconnection .. [17:41] It's Passwords and Keys, lmsmith. [17:42] What is? I see a listing of the public keys I have, but there's no visible means of changing caching behaviour. [17:42] lmsmith, isn't it in preferences? [17:42] You need to uncheck "Cache PGP passphrases." [17:43] i use a usb modem for internet. i want it to start automatically when i start my computer. is there any app or way ? [17:43] i reposted my question . [17:43] himanshu_m786, http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service [17:44] What preferences? If you're refering to "Passwords and Keys" - I've got three tabs that display information about what's on the system. [17:44] MorpheusChalice : ok seeing [17:44] MorpheusChalice, Any suggesting on reducing ram usage by virtualbox or windows XP as gust OS? [17:44] bhavesh, turn down the maximum usable ram. [17:45] lmsmith, I am referring to Tools > Preferences. [17:45] MorpheusChalice, ok. Windows XP uses less ram when less is available [17:45] Is it just me or has empathy been completely unstable since upgrading to 12.04? [17:45] itmustbejj: it's just you [17:45] itmustbejj, it's pretty bugged. [17:45] itmustbejj: please be more descriptive with your problem [17:45] There have been lot of bug reports on Empathy. Actually. [17:45] Myritti It completely has problems connecting to account manager requiring restarts [17:46] Myritti It's been crashing just the chat windows but not my buddy list the last couple of days [17:46] I have no plugins or anything for it [17:46] I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it [17:46] itmustbejj: you can use the tab key to nickcomplete, ie. type Myr and hit tabulator key, it should autocomplete my nick [17:47] Sometimes it just quits responding to click events until I restart [17:47] itmustbejj: MSN or what protocol? [17:47] Myrtti: thanks [17:47] Myrtti: msn and gtalk [17:47] MorpheusChalice, I'm stuck with whatever garbage they replace Gnme with in 12.04. I've got a UI bar on the left hand side with a "System Settings", and that's about it. [17:48] Myrtti: I've also tried setting up gtalk through jabber and still have same issues [17:48] Guys How to download debian full repo [17:48] itmustbejj: you could try running empathy-debugger and see if you can google up anything related to what the programme outputs [17:49] I don't see how I could help you that, lmsmith. =). If it's a GNOME related question you have, #gnome could be of help. [17:49] itmustbejj: or for starter pastebin it [17:49] it's not. [17:49] it's not? [17:49] I trying for pxe based preseed installation, witch tool i have to use download repo. please guide me [17:50] Myrtti Yeah I've ran empathy-debugger but didn't really find anything eventful, but to be fair I probably didn't have a large enough sample size [17:51] Myrtti, I have found a bug ticket related to the account manager connection problem, I think people were saying it was a problem with telepathy and reinstall fixed their issues but it didn't work for me [17:52] does anyone here know if its possible to change the sources in the Video lense in 12.04? [17:52] Sup big boys, I'm back. I figured how to solve the problem I had on my own. [17:52] <- champ. [17:52] I live in Myrtle Beach SC and I have a Japanese source in there [17:52] the_dudez0r: nice one champ :) [17:52] MorpheusChalice, my point being that I can't find anything resembling what you describe. It's a clean install of 12.04 off branded media. The only thing that resembles what you describe is the "Password and Keys" tool. I can't find anything else. [17:53] James843: you could symlink the folder into the videos folder and it may be included [17:53] lmsmith, a minute ago, I told you to open up Password and Keys, click on tools, click on preferences, and uncheck "Cache PGP passphrases" [17:53] how can I do that? [17:54] there's nothing with the string "tools" :P [17:54] how do I save file: nano /etc/network/interfaces [17:54] 12.04, lmsmith? [17:54] and what folder? This is the Videos lense in the Dash home [17:54] 12.04 [17:54] Awh gosh. -.- . I am on 12.10 . [17:54] Edit > Preferences. [17:54] Wonder if that'd work for you. [17:54] itmustbejj: what you could do is to "killall empathy" to kill all empathy processes, and then start it off commandline, and see if it outputs anything interesting. Also, how did you reinstall empathy? [17:55] oh FFS. [17:55] xD. [17:55] Myrtti, from the precise repo [17:55] anyone? [17:56] hmm.. not yet. Just a keyservers editor. [17:56] itmustbejj: yes, but how did you reinstall it? [17:56] itmustbejj: software centre, commandline? [17:56] Myrtti, commandline [17:56] Anyone here have experience using displaylink adapters on 'buntu? [17:56] I've tried a few methods, but can only get the displaylink active, or the onboard video, not both. [17:57] itmustbejj: reinstall, remove and install, or remove --purge and install? [17:57] Myrtti, remove and install [17:58] Myrtti, --purge would have been a good option but I don't think I did iirc [17:58] itmustbejj: you could also try to find the . directory where empathy saves the account information, rename it and start off clean plate [17:58] MorpheusChalice, there's nothing there but an editor for keyservers. [17:58] Are you certain? I thought see an option with a checkbox that reads "Cache PGP passphrases" [17:58] My background images cycle every few minutes automatically - what's the easiest way to add more images to the cycle? [17:58] * though. === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [17:59] Nop. I'm seeing a single tab - "Key Servers", with settings for publishing, retrieval. [17:59] That is weird. =\. [18:00] Well, let me look up how to do that manually. [18:00] A windows top bar is above the top of the screen [18:00] how can I get it back down? [18:00] Myrtti, I do have a couple interesting non-debug messages: http://pastebin.com/CJsrsH81 [18:01] I've been trying to do just that the last few hours.... I can't even establish whether it's gpg thats caching it, or some part of Unity. [18:01] hello, I've updated to the latest ubuntu, and I've noticed that grub is loading way slower, and has a noticeable delay, I googled and it seems an usual problem I think, what can I DO? [18:01] Hey guys [18:01] I have a little problem [18:01] * lmsmith started with Storm Linux in '99, and in 13 years has never had/used a workstation w/o major issues. [18:01] I installed Oracle Java and I want to run Minecraft with it [18:01] * kyle__ gets lmgtfy ready. [18:02] I used to do it by right clicking the file on my desktop and pressing run with OpenJDK [18:02] lmsmith, it does cache, which is why it is showing you the login keyrings. [18:02] And by default, it is enabled. [18:02] is anyone available to help me with a problem on 12.04? [18:02] However, there is no such option now that I removed OpenJDK. [18:02] How do I make it so it can run with Oracle Java? [18:02] Qasaur: Did you set your default jre/jdk to the oracle one? [18:02] Qasaur: you can run it from the terminal, java -jar, and add a custom launcher for it [18:02] kyle__: Yeah [18:03] Qasaur: do you have oracle java installed? [18:03] Yeah [18:03] everytime i try to compile android its giving me this error [18:03] http://pastebin.com/GV2P7825 [18:03] i tried to purge and remove java and reinstall but it wont let me know [18:03] now [18:04] Qasaur: And what happens when you run java -version? [18:04] It shows Oracle Java [18:04] Hold on I'm going to try running it from the terminal [18:04] k [18:05] I trying for pxe based preseed installation, witch tool i have to use download repo. please guide me [18:05] I trying for pxe based preseed installation, witch tool i have to use download repo. please guide me\ [18:05] * kyle__ thought you only had a run-with option if you had more than one alternative setup. [18:05] Hi people. wondering... what software is peolpe using the most to do remote desktop from windows (win7) to ubuntu (lubuntu) on the same network? [18:05] dhanasekaran: You can just copy the files off of an ISO into a local web server, if you have the iso file. [18:05] itmustbejj: mmm... sorry I can't be more help, mine has worked fine from the update [18:05] MorpheusChalice, the best I can do is run gpg with --no-use-agent. This works for me, but I cant expect users here to do this :( [18:06] Shogoot: I think he builtin remote desktop viewer supports RDP. [18:06] how to open file with root permission in terminal ? [18:06] bulitin remote desktop.... ok im going to google it [18:06] sudo [editor command] [18:06] kyle__, Because i already download with apt-mirror, it's working [18:06] dhanasekaran: OK, then go with that. [18:07] kyle_ builtin i get it [18:07] kyle__, But Not working pxe based preseed installation [18:07] Myrtti, honestly that is helpful to know that it's likely specific to me. I see a couple warnings related to font family and missing color properties. I would not be surprised to find it's my gnome shell theme making empathy unstable [18:07] lmsmith, its creating new empty file [18:07] Shogoot: If it doesn't, something like apt-get install rdesktop will give you both the CLI rdesktop program, and act as a plugin for the builtin remote desktop viewer. [18:07] kyle__, oh ok thaks [18:07] kyle__, Because some folders missing compare archive.ubuntu.com repo [18:07] jwtiyar, "vi sudo /etc/password" or whatever should do it. [18:07] is there a single prescribed method for creating tun/tap devices in Ubuntu Precise (12.04) ? [18:08] kyle__, please guide witch tools i have to use download mirror [18:08] lmsmith, whats vi ? [18:08] Shogoot: I don't have my laptop here, otherwise I could check, but my laptop is running 12.04, and I use it to connect to a win7 system frequently. [18:08] kyle__, how to update already downloaded repo files using apt-mirror [18:09] jwtiyar, if you're looking to gain root temporarily from the command line, read up on the 'sudo' command [18:09] What is vi?! [18:09] jwtiyar: http://rudism.com/s/vimcreep [18:09] jwtiyar: Just the best editor ever. [18:09] lmsmith, i know about root commandss but now i forgot these command [18:10] kyle__, any help [18:11] dhanasekaran: What are you using as a guide? What is the actual error you're getting? [18:11] dhanasekaran: You've talked about the problem, but haven't actually asked any of the questions yet. [18:11] can someone please help me with this error [18:11] How can I drag a window that's gone hopelessly off screen back onscreen [18:11] i have no clue what to do [18:11] http://pastebin.com/BBMVViUQ [18:12] it was in the other workspace [18:12] yay [18:12] MorpheusChalice, having any more luck finding information than I am? [18:12] Not quite, lmsmith. [18:12] it keeps telling me i am using the wrong version of java but it will not let me uninstall my current verison [18:12] Apparently, there aren't even articles on changes in Ubuntu 12.10 [18:12] nor install the right version [18:12] Besides, I was looking for an x-Chat OSD fix myself for my Gnome 3 environment. [18:12] np [18:13] inline6power: Change your default java. it's doen with update-alternatives. [18:13] kyle_ can you let me know what to do, i am very new to ubuntu and trying to build for my first time [18:13] inline6power: Scroll down to the update-alternatives bits https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [18:13] thank you. will give it a shot [18:13] Well I guess they're stuck on CentOS for the moment. Can't have gpg exposed like that. [18:13] inline6power: Good luck. [18:15] kyle__ this is what it gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1108678/ [18:16] inline6power: Does it want oracle java or something? I've never built android, just installed the sdk. [18:16] Does Keyring Access open for you, lmsmith? [18:17] does this make sense to anyone else? I have a user test in the www-data group: $ grep test /etc/group www-data:x:33:test, and a directory /var/www/foo with the permissions: drwxrwx--- 3 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 23 08:19 foo, but this user is unable to view the contents of that directory: ls: cannot open directory /var/www/foo/: Permission denied [18:18] Can't find anything with that string, MorpheusChalice. [18:18] lmsmith, I see. [18:19] kyle__ this is the error i am getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/1108683/ [18:19] MorpheusChalice, ty for the help. Wasted too much effort on this already. [18:19] CrazyGir: what are the permissions on /var/www/ ? [18:19] Not really. =P. [18:19] But good luck with it though, lmsmith. [18:19] trism: open.. drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 24 11:51 ./ [18:20] inline6power: Try installing the oracle jdk. It's a tarball, you can put it opt or whever you like. Then run the update-alternatives to point all the java goodness at it. [18:20] unless ubuntu does something differently.. [18:20] CrazyGir: yep looks fine, sorry not sure then [18:20] See what it says then. [18:20] inline6power: But that's just a guess, iv'e not done what you're doing before. [18:20] hi, I know this may not be the right place to ask, but does anyone know where there is documentation on notifications in ubuntu, particularly how to make notification boxes with input [18:21] ok will try that.

The option to stop this happening I can't select. [18:22] CrazyGir: wait, did you just add the user to www-data? the groups won't update until the user logs in again [18:22] ... but given what the virus does, I'm wondering if it is just punk kids this time, and not gubment spies. [18:22] prateekp: think about your problem, look intowhy one of those would not work [18:22] trism: you would be correct I guess [18:23] CrazyGir : please guide me [18:23] trism: could i leave my shells open in tmux, disconnect (this is a remote ssh connection), and then reconnect / reattach tmux shells and carry on, or do the shells need to be reinitialized [18:24] kyle__ when i run sudo apt-get update this is what it tells me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1108693/ [18:24] prateekp: sure, you can start by either googling "how to ask questions the smart way" or giving us more detailed info [18:25] CrazyGir: I'm not actually sure, let me try and see === thomas___ is now known as ZeThomas [18:26] Talking about keys - how can I stop gnome-keyring querying for my password every time I start Google Chrome?

I'm thinking maybe it's a nouveau issue. thoughts? suggestions? [18:33] zaphara sudo shutdown -h now after that it should be ok [18:34] thank you, i will try it. will I have to do so every time?

[18:35] inline6power: Because I think they kindof could completely be the problem (at least with your apt) [18:35] CrazyGir: oh wait, though: newgrp www-data && newgrp username; seems okay [18:36] kyle__ i am not sure if i did or not [18:36] CrazyGir: no problem, kind of interesting problem (I never like having to log out when adding groups) [18:37] inline6power: # works as a comment in that file, Just give that a try.

Where did you get the build script? Maybe they have a forum that can help with that prt of it? Maybe it needs to go under the knife (vim/emacs/nano)? [18:40] ok [18:41] any other ideas??

[19:11] *GROAN* But installing on portage takes AGES [19:11] ki4ro_: You mean tap to click? [19:11] relisher: yes it does [19:12] Hi. I run 'xterm -fa Terminus' and my national characters does not work (Terminus does not have glyphs). How can I handle this? [19:12] bobo37773: I mean when I hover over something too long it "clicks" it by itself [19:12] Other terminal emulators like konsole from KDE supports this somehow. It uses glyphs from another font, how can I configure xterm to do this? [19:12] bobo37773: drives me nuts! LOL [19:13] ki4ro_: Pretty sure you can disable that kind of stuff with the "synclient" program. [19:13] ki4ro_: If it is a synaptics Xorg driver that your using [19:14] bobo37773: I don't know what it is...pretty new to Linux/Ubuntu [19:14] ive just downloaded libreoffice, and its a .tar.gz inside contains loads of .debs but how do I know which one to run? [19:14] bobo37773: Should I start up synaptics or synclient? [19:14] ki4ro_: See if you can find that program in your software center (its the thing on the left that looks like a bag or something) [19:14] could I use Ubuntu on my toaster? [19:15] DaWoop: video toaster? [19:15] 3D [19:15] is there a forum i can get help in? [19:15] bobo37773: Look for synaptics?

If it says not found or something then search for it and install it in software center [19:16] intel i8 902039423984024 44234h23r [19:16] DaWoop: That sort of hardware usually comes with support and such. Which model? [19:16] bobo37773: thanks will do [19:16] I'm building it [19:16] with mah stuff [19:16] !ot | DaWoop [19:16] you know [19:16] DaWoop: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:17] LjL is a gangster [19:17] cs op #ubuntu [19:17] hi [19:17] he must have a gun [19:17] DaWoop: Ohh, a DIY one. Sure you probably could run ubuntu on such a box, but you may want to try ubuntu-studio, if you're goal is real time video processing. [19:17] Ok, solved my problem by Xft option lang:pl. [19:17] i am playing wesnoth on ladder downloaded my recent game .gz file now how do I view it? [19:17] LjL: He was asking about making a DIY video toaster, and if ubuntu would be an appropriate distro for it. [19:18] ki4ro_: Once you get that program the command to disable tap to click is --> "synclient TapButton1=0" and to turn back on it's "synclient TapButton1=1". [19:18] irc.abjectsnet:9999 [19:18] LjL: A video toaster is a box made for real-time video editing and processing. [19:18] ki4ro_: Add it to your startup programs or whatever if you want it to be permanent [19:18] When I install a package, where does apt store the debs it downloads? [19:19] kyle__: hm i have my doubts he was talking about that sort of thing, when you asked "video toaster?" he said "toaster" again - and at any rate as soon as i gave !ot he went full troll [19:19] Ah ok. [19:19] um help anyone :) [19:19] Guess I'm just feeling too forgiving today. [19:20] Hello. Can someone help me install a tar.bz2 file after I've extracted it [19:20] does any op have a few hours free to help me with something? I need help re-programming ubuntu 12.04 LTS's shut down/restart buttons. [19:21] hmmm i guess no help here bbye [19:21] still getting "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." even though I've done it twice. [19:21] univac, there should be a README file in there with instructions. otherwise, it's generally a ./configure; make; make install thing. [19:22] univac: Have you tried ./ [19:22] univac: i can try [19:22] I can't find the README file [19:23] Yes I tried ./seamonkey but it still is'nt installed [19:23] univac, an INSTALL file maybe? [19:23] bobo37773: Got it. Now how would I add it to my startup? [19:23] ( I'm trying to install seamonkey [19:23] ki4ro_: Are you using Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc..? [19:24] hey how do i get my usb hard drive to mount in ubuntu [19:24] if so use Software center [19:24] bobo37773: Ubuntu 12.04 [19:24] can anyoone walk me through it or tell me how [19:24] ki4ro_: Software center [19:24] univac: are any of the filenames in the dir you unzipped to in all caps or marked executable? [19:24] seamomkey.bin [19:25] ki4ro_: If you open your dash (the button on the top left) and type "startup" does it give you some kind of option for a startup manager? [19:25] !topic [19:25] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [19:25] optikx, start 'disk utility' - there u should see what is going on [19:25] Hello! What is run in Gnome 3 when I hold Ctrl+Alt + Arrow? Also is it dependent to run in Gnome 3 or could it be ran in Xubuntu? [19:25] artupk [19:25] normally its mounted automatically [19:25] k [19:26] bobo37773: It has one called startup applications [19:26] ki4ro_: That's it. Open it. There should be a button that says "add" probably [19:26] bobo37773: Will do [19:27] k i think my usb drive is messed up then [19:27] thanks guys. I'll try again now [19:27] One oddity... I install ruby 1.8.x on 12.04 and for some reason the default permission of the gems isn't world readable... ruby apps only run as root without modifying the permissions on every install [19:27] probably [19:27] ki4ro_: Name it something. Add a comment if you want (that's optional). Then in the part that says command you put the synclient stuff from before. After that reboot to test and you should be good to go. [19:27] Any idea what could cause that? [19:29] bobo37773: Okay...many thanks! [19:29] Loof: cd /var/lib/gems/ && sudo chown -fR username . (where username is your username). Found that online [19:30] bobo37773: Yes, changing the permission 'fixes' it... but I don't get why they're being installed with such restrictive permissions [19:30] univac: usually a disk image to be burned to cd or a binary executable. do you know which is was supposed to be? is it marked executable? [19:31] Loof: are you installing as root? [19:31] Loof: Oh I see what you mean. Ask upstream. Definitely something that should be looked at. If I had to guess I would say that they have probably discussed this before somewhere [19:31] good to be here. just saying hello.. thats all [19:31] I am trying to change the command executed when you click the shutdown or restart buttons to " sudo init 0" and "sudo init 6" if anyone has the time to help me re-program those buttons. Thank you anyway if not! [19:31] root's umask will sometimes goof up stuff [19:31] univac, the command file will tell you. [19:32] CrazyGir: Yep[ [19:32] sudo gem install ... [19:33] hi room!! [19:33] my ubuntu will not recognize my usb card???????????? [19:34] bobo37773: Okay I'm back and it rebooted without complaint so I guess its okay [19:34] zaphara: You mean the gui buttons that already exist on your panel or something? [19:34] ki4ro_: Oh cool. Glad it helped [19:34] my ubuntu will not recognize my usb card???????????? [19:34] bobo37773: Cool indeed...you're the man...many thanks [19:34] currently I can only start ubuntu 12.04 by using "use previous versions" option when booting. Is there a way to set an only version as current ? [19:34] ki4ro_: Your welcome. Just come back in a couple years and help new people [19:35] breman you mean like internet wireless adapter? [19:35] brennan, check your syslog with 'Log File Viewer' [19:35] *old version* [19:35] hi. rying to mount a screwed internal drive via external caddy on ubuntu. anyone fancy helping me out? don't know how to list the drive yet (doesn't show up in nautilus) [19:36] what will it tell me romy? [19:36] i broke the current version by trying an apt-get install linux-generic-pae [19:36] "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." I've done this to no avail. any suggestions? [19:36] bobo37773: Will do...if I'm still around...just had my 63rd b'day on the 21st LOL...take care [19:36] there things are logged if they fail [19:36] afd: dmesg | grep sd for starters. [19:36] and maybe it tells u even why [19:36] ki4ro_: Nice. Happy birthday young man. Be good :) [19:37] oc dmesg would also show it [19:37] afd, or plug and immediately dmesg & look at the bottom. [19:38] another issue im having is free -m shows me mem=2757 but I have 4gigs installed === Mike_ is now known as Guest40040 [19:39] waxstone: vga with shared memory? [19:39] can someone help me? i'm a nubie to ubuntu [19:39] ? [19:40] !help | brennan [19:40] brennan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:40] iceroot : what do you mean by vga? I mean RAM [19:40] brennan, did u find something? [19:40] what kind of card is it? [19:41] it's a usb reader for an sd card [19:42] ok this should work [19:42] no entries in the log file? [19:43] is there a program to capture screen and sound and which can edit (cut and join clips of recorded video)? [19:43] so once I have a list of the connected devices (sda / sda1 / sda2 / sdb) - can someone help me mount the one that is external (I think sdb)ps. pretty sure there are some screwed blocks on it [19:44] I have 4 1 gig sticks of ram but free -m sees 2.757 [19:44] maplesoft: RecordMyDesktop can help you there [19:44] waxstone: Whats the complete output of free -m ? Put it into a pastebin please. [19:44] afd: df -h will tell you what you have mounted. probably sdaX gparted or fdisk /dev/sdb will tell you what's on the other in the way of partitions. [19:45] sporkboy: tried sudo mount /dev/sdb and it's just hanging [19:45] sporkboy: will try that instead [19:45] afd: fdisk /dev/sdb and hit h. I think m is print. [19:46] p is print. [19:46] islandmonkey can edit (cut and join clips of recorded video)? [19:46] sporkboy: thanks [19:46] bekks, mmkay. that's good. I definitely used an fdisk where none of the letters made sense. [19:47] bekks: http://pastebin.com/1MSceh5p [19:47] sporkboy: hmmm "unable to read /dev/sdb" [19:48] maplesoft: I'd think you'd have to pass the recorded file onto an external editor (such as kdenlive, OpenShot, etc) [19:48] romy. think exfat vs NTFS for his data stick? [19:48] afd, a common test to see if it's readable at all is dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null let it run a bit and see if you get the same in & out. ctrl+c to stop it. [19:48] maplesoft: I don't see why you can't do that :0 [19:48] :) [19:48] sporkboy: trying now [19:48] islandmonkey ok. [19:48] Whoops, wrong smiley [19:49] Does anyone know Canonical's US contact number? I'm trying to get ahold of their sales department. [19:49] sporkboy: got this http://pastebin.com/8Tf23SUM [19:50] sporkboy: guessing that means it's dead [19:50] bekks: dmidecode --type 17 shows all 4 sticks [19:50] it's a usb reader for an sd card my computer cannot find it!!????????????? [19:50] hi, how can i get a 32bit libglib (-dev) on 64bit ubuntu? [19:50] cndiv http://www.ubuntu.com/contact-us [19:53] brennan can you connect it to a windows machine and format it to NTFS instead of exFAT worked for my external HDD [19:54] i dont have a computer with windows on it [19:54] is there an update? [19:54] what's better, openSUSE or ubuntu? [19:54] NastyNaz: This is offtopic here. [19:55] !poll | NastyNaz [19:55] NastyNaz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:55] and not possible to answer. [19:55] because it's a tricky one to answer [19:55] i7c, i can answer that. [19:55] I just want to know what the differences are [19:55] NastyNaz : A matter of opinion [19:55] NastyNaz: just read online (wikipedia or communities) what are the advantages of each distro... [19:56] or just go with Ubuntu [19:56] NastyNaz, too many differences to mention here [19:56] slackin__: me too :D [19:56] sporkboy: is the hdd fucked you think? [19:56] then you will have to manually mount it to register exFat.. you can find tutorials.. if thats the problem I mean. when you plug it in does it say unable to mount?

Are there any big flaws in the ubuntu server distro? Like features common to other enterprise-grade linux distros that have 'yet to be implemented' in to ubuntu server? [19:57] NastyNaz, i actually do not like ubuntu, at all, but i like to use it on servers cause its super easy to manage remotely [19:58] sporkboy: yeah, I thought it was possible to at least copy the data even if you can't get a system to mount it etc yet [19:58] NastyNaz: We sync from debian, so you'll see nearly everything that they have to offer [19:58] hah. just realized that I migrated to a different laptop. I don't think this one even has an nvidia card. which would explain the difficulties I'm having getting it running. [19:58] NastyNaz do you expect us to say that a ubuntu business product is not good? [19:58] NastyNaz, ever heard of VirtualMin? sets up and runs perfectly in ubuntu [19:58] i <33333333 VirtualMin [19:59] afd: yeah. it'll usually at least make some grinding noises and give some errors. [19:59] what is the fastest distro of linux? [19:59] I have 4 gigs installed(& seen with dmidecode --type 17) yet free -m shows only 2757 total. can anyone help ?

Looks very useful [19:59] jeffrey wrong channel [20:00] slackin__, afd has an unreadable drive... even dd won't recognize it. [20:00] NastyNaz, it is, very useful, very fully functional [20:00] slackin__: what is it about ubuntu server that makes it easier than other distros? [20:00] How can play wmv in ubuntu 64bit ? [20:00] NastyNaz, the fool proof setup, upgrades, virtualmin install, software packages [20:00] NastyNaz that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [20:00] just in general, its very easy to admin [20:00] mah454, easy [20:00] I installed mplayer , w32codec , vlc , ... ! but can not play wmv ! [20:00] mah454, i prefer mplayer myself [20:01] so how do I take care of: "tronbit: root window's visual 0x21 does not support the GLX extension." [20:01] mah454, something borked in mplayer then, cause it plays wmv great [20:01] i use it daily [20:01] slackin__: Your OS is 64bit ? [20:01] mah454, yes [20:01] brennan id susspect your usb sd card is using exFAT. something 12.04 ubuntu dosnt mount automatically. If no windows machine is available for ez formatting to NTFS. you will have to mount it manually [20:01] if thats the problem I mean to add.. good luck. [20:02] noob here. how do i tell what version of ubuntu i'm running? [20:02] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n lsb_release -sd [20:03] slackin__: data is totally gone then?

I have a question and I was hoping somebody could lead me in the right direction. I would like to be able to connect to my home computer from anywhere. Using SFTP I would like to be able to view the files on my computer and transfer files to/from it. I have read that you can do this using SSH and SFTP, but I really do not know where to start. Does anybody have a good tutorial on this? [20:05] smallfoot- explore restricted areas [20:05] pb ok how do i mount it? [20:05] Well, I can't say it's Ubuntu related, sorry, it's kind of an off-topic. [20:05] I have a problem with my headphones only working in mumble where I set the output manually, do any of you know how to set it to be used globally?

[20:07] waxstone, then, i dont know, see that link i7c said [20:07] afd, sorry was working on something [20:07] slackin__: np [20:07] afd, does it make clicking or grinding noises? [20:07] nope [20:07] ThinkT510, MonkeyDust why it contains binary blows? will they clean it in the future? [20:07] Is there a way to tell apt that I've provided my own built from source version of package xyz pleas edont install over it [20:07] does it spin up?

[20:07] smallfoot- define "blows" [20:07] smallfoot-: surely you mean blobs [20:08] i would try plugging it in to a different computer, with a different cable(important) and see if it comes up, if not, then try switching out the controller boards and hope for the best [20:08] afd, ^^ [20:08] <_ramok> hi [20:08] <_ramok> is there a way to upgrade from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts ?

[20:08] smallfoot-, in my case used+free not equal 4g [20:08] _ramok: Yes, run "update-manager -d" [20:08] Or was it upgrade-manager? [20:08] smallfoot-: well waxstone said the total value is smaller than supposed. that's odd. what does your machine say during boot process? [20:08] wutever. [20:09] Would somebody please help me with my audio problem? My headphones are working in mumble, just not for applications/ browsing. [20:09] waxstone, no idea [20:09] waxstone: Use a PAE kernel to resolve your issue.

[20:10] afd, no problem, i've been there myself [20:10] waxstone u dont need that [20:10] waxstone: if you have 64bit ubuntu you don't need PAE (and in fact it's not really defined for 64 bit) [20:10] bekks, maybe his integrated graphics chipset/solution that steals the RAM [20:10] waxstone https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [20:11] slackin__: have to go... will persist and maybe come back for more help [20:11] <_ramok> theadmin: but i have version 10.04 [20:11] smallfoot-: No :) [20:11] waxstone, ssta is right, PAE is only for 32-bit. [20:11] i would say the graphics card has the memory -> see bios [20:11] waxstone: sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae [20:11] or it is defective [20:11] i actually tried install pae earlier and it broke my install i have to login using 'use previous versions [20:11] please help [20:11] bekks, he don't need PAE, he uses 64-bit [20:11] BTW: does anybody know how to make it possible in Ubuntu to rename a file after two short clicks on the file name, like in Windows? That would really be nice! [20:11] bekks, i think PAE is the Physical Address Extension for 32Bit .. he has 64Bit [20:12] _ramok: Yes, that's LTS -- you need to configure to update between LTS releases [20:12] myscreenp start with a question [20:12] waxstone, of course it does, its cuz your userland is 64-bit, and pae is 32-bit [20:12] thnx mnkydst i got back 10.04.4lts how can i update to the new 12.10? [20:12] i have 2 issues the broken current and my ram [20:12] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n, 12.10 not released, it comes in october [20:12] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n 12.04 is the latest stable [20:12] what can i do to have more resolutions than 640x400? [20:12] yeah that one [20:12] waxstone: pastebin the output of both "uname -a" and "cat /proc/meminfo" please? [20:12] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n, 12.10 is alpha, see #ubuntu+1 [20:13] smallfoot-, is there a way to override everythign with a previous version to wipe my pae blunder? [20:13] myscreenp: Install video drivers?... Normally you do not have such low resolutions. 640x400? Really? [20:13] ssta ok [20:13] <_ramok> theadmin: how can i do this? === tdubz is now known as Guest90886 [20:13] waxstone, just uninstall the linux-generic-pae package and it will disappear as an option from bootloader [20:13] myscreenp, sounds like your video card isn't working right. run xconfig again? should load up higher than that with defaults these days. [20:13] _ramok: Not entirely sure. "man do-release-upgrade" may help. I'm not on an Ubuntu system so I can't really help much (never did release upgrades on Ubuntu. Well, did once but it broke everything.) [20:14] xconfig? i think i did . ill try one more time sporkboy [20:14] <_ramok> thanks [20:14] myscreenp, or make sure you have the right xserver installed. [20:14] i dont have that installed, ill do it no [20:14] now [20:14] myscreenp: lspci -nn | grep VGA [20:15] ssta: http://pastebin.com/9JR7JdCT , smallfoot- thanks [20:15] think i found answer here http://xubuntu.org/upgrading/ [20:16] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [20:16] Is it possible on Ubuntu to rename a file, like in Windows, using two clicks on the file name shortly after each other? [20:16] hello [20:16] SSHtester right click, rename [20:16] SSHtester: just use F2 [20:17] Hi, is safe download games from playdeb website ? [20:17] Big issue - can I have Ubuntu software center 5.3 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 [20:17] waxstone: yeah...the kernel is only seeing 2.8Gb (ish) of memory. My main guess is that onboard graphics is stealing a gig...Not sure how to check for that without looking in the BIOS though. Maybe someone else knows a way? [20:17] Martin2012: using external repos is always a risk to dependencies [20:17] Ist athat possible? [20:17] waxstone, mine says MemTotal: 4048556 kB [20:17] Martin2012 why would it not be safe? [20:17] waxstone, do you have integrated graphics on the cpu or motherboard? [20:17] i have xserver.org installed [20:18] hello [20:18] MonkeyDust it could have malicious software. A virus, or script [20:18] smallfoot-, IG available yes but im using a gfx card [20:18] MonkeyDust, guntbert: yes, I figured that out, but I think it would be more useful using the Windows method. Don't get me wrong, I can adjust to the Linux way of renaming. I was just wondering if somebody has ever thought about implementing that feature. I think it would be a nice addition. [20:18] Martin2012 that's a windows problem [20:18] waxstone: mine sees all my memory (MemTotal: 16360244 kB). But I have a dedicated gfx card. [20:18] ssta, thanks [20:18] Hal.dll is corrupted, and my hard disk seems to be busted. Linux says it's an "input/output error" when trying to read or write to certain areas. How do I fix this? Someone told me not to run chkdsk? [20:19] pr0metheu5 dll is windows.... wine? [20:19] SSHtester: as far as I know: no [20:19] ssta,smallfoot- i have an intel dx79si [20:19] No command 'xconfig' found, sporkboy [20:19] MonkeyDust: Oh, no, had trouble dual booting and screwed up my windows partition first. Now I'm just trying to get my hard disk back into somewhat working order. [20:19] can I have Ubuntu software center 5.3 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 /b [20:19] guntbert: Ok, thank you. [20:19] i tried to install gnome but that did not solve the problem i can only select the 640x400 [20:20] * eu_junioru Seeking advice on Installing Ubuntu software center 5.3 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 [20:20] waxstone, with an i7? [20:20] waxstone: do you have pastebinit? (if not then apt-get install pastebinit). Then "sudo lshw|pastebinit" for me? [20:20] MonkeyDust A bad person could upload software modified to a repo, so he can get personal information of users. For example, e-mail accounts passwords, and from there, get bank data, etc [20:20] •pr0metheu5• download HDTune and run a healthcheck [20:20] smallfoot-, yes [20:20] Martin2012 that is controlled, not just anyone can upload [20:20] cl0ne: I'm hoping it's free? [20:21] mnkydst i have update settings set to lts only. will i get updated to 12.x from 10.x this way? Haven't so far. [20:21] waxstone, when you boot the computer, what does BIOS/UEFI say, it should list the memory too [20:21] wait [20:21] cl0ne: it's not, are there any free ones? [20:21] yes theres free and pro versions [20:21] just get the free version [20:21] please help my 640x400 is hard and there are a lot of lines here [20:21] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n: yes, it will wait for 12.04.1 [20:21] Martin2012 and as it is opensource, someone else would soon find it and solve it [20:21] eu_junioru: I don't think that's possible. If you want 5.3, upgrade to 12.04 (assuming your a Unity hater :( so you wouldn't want to do that) [20:21] cl0ne: it's a windows application, I can't boot into windows anymore. [20:21] eu_junioru, you can update to 12.04 LTS :P [20:21] myscreenp: how is this connected to what kind of monitor, and is there an adapter involved? [20:21] smallfoot sry sry im thinking about another computer. this ia a dell insoprion 510 [20:21] cl0ne: if there is a command line program or something bootable via usb, that would work perfectly.. [20:21] can we talk on one channel? [20:22] its a laptop [20:22] smallfoot-, ill have to check next boot [20:22] think t510 i have had it this way and would like 12.x will changing to normal updates change it? [20:22] MonkeyDust I understand, thank you :-) [20:22] UltimatebootCD try that [20:22] i think the laptop have one special screen [20:22] myscreenp: pleae give me a pastebin of xrandr -q [20:22] Another question: is it possible in Ubuntu to type 't without hitting the space bar after the '? On Windows, I could type "I can't come" by hitting ' and t directly after each other, but on Linux "can't" shows up as "can" if I do that. How can I fix that? It kind of bothers me... [20:22] it has HDD check programs [20:22] MonkeyDust: but do you control it to be sure? OSS doesn't mean anybody's checking everything [20:22] myscreenp: you can tell your client to ignore those join/part messages [20:22] cl0ne: sounds good, thanks. [20:22] , - u are right - Unity it just not working out for me, and LTS 10.04 is great - I was jut wondering if it is possible... [20:23] cl0ne: would it be a good idea to just use gParted and completely format everything? [20:23] h0ly_gh0st_rec0n: can't you wait for 12.04.1? [20:23] eu_junioru: I don't think so [20:23] maybe but gParted can also check the hdd for issues [20:23] myscreenp: while you are at it, add the result of lsmod | grep intel [20:23] cl0ne: it can? [20:23] sure i guess. [20:23] eu_junioru, i dont know [20:23] Anyone having any experience using the Ubuntu One music player on iPhone 4S? [20:24] afaik gparted can scan for errors on a hdd yes [20:24] L3top: http://pastebin.com/AVDyN41X [20:24] * eu_junioru hopes Installing Ubuntu software center 5.3 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 is possible somehow [20:24] i was wondering why i hadn't got an 11.x update is it because i chose lts? [20:24] cl0ne: can it fix them too? [20:24] eu_junioru, i use 12.04 without Unity, I use gnome-classic (looks like 10.04), there is also gnome-shell, kde, lxde, xfce, fluxbox, etc for those who want other environment [20:24] adee better discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:24] BTW, there is a better looking gnome-classic replica on 12.04 [20:24] eu_junioru: it is insupported [20:24] unsupported [20:24] pr0metheu5 best is to download a utility from the hdd manufacturer and check with that [20:25] smallfoot - is it possible to keep gnome 2 in LTS 10.04? [20:25] ssta: 1108933 [20:25] Okay, so... After trying literally tens of distros, I have decided that Ubuntu and it's derivatives sucessfully hold the position of the most user-friendly distro. Congratulations. [20:25] Fallback session is boiling my video card... :( [20:25] pr0metheu5 depends what errors you have bad blocks or ? [20:25] eu_junioru: gnome2 in 10.04 will not be replaced. [20:25] Anyway, I have heard that the Ubuntu team are working on an official Gnome-Shell based deriv -- has the name been decided on, yet? [20:26] i replaced 10.4 with kubuntu :) very good [20:26] Maybe I should rephrase my question: is it possible on Ubuntu to say that hitting the ' key on the keyboard shows the ' on my screen, such that I do not have to hit the ' key and then press the space bar to show the ' on my screen? [20:26] cl0ne: linux says it's "input/output error" everytime it tries to read or write [20:26] myscreenp: what is the output of lspci -nnk | grep VGA | grep -i kernel [20:26] smallfoot - is it possible to install gnome 2 in LTS 12.04? [20:26] *however - unsupported... [20:26] eu_junioru: no [20:26] :( [20:26] eu_junioru no [20:26] dammit - really like gnome2 - less resources... [20:26] pr0metheu5 go to the manufacturers website and download check utility [20:27] I doubt they'll have one for linux though, cl0ne [20:27] eu_junioru: gnome2 is dead, find an alternative [20:27] I can't boot into windows. [20:27] eu_junioru: Infact, *yes*, it's possible (altough not supported), see http://mate-desktop.org === jeff_ is now known as Guest32060 [20:27] no but for DOS maybe you can boot from CD/USB [20:27] why dead? [20:27] pr0metheu5 that's a way to get rid of it ;) [20:27] waxstone: I'm totally puzzled...there's NO reason I can think of that you shouldn't have all your memory available, but clearly, there's a gig or so missing. Sorry, I don't know what's happening...but I'd be very interested to find out if you work it out [20:27] It is working fine with me :D [20:27] eu_junioru .. i'm running gnome3 on shitty hardware here ... and it is fluid [20:27] Hi [20:27] SSHtester: you are looking for a keyboard layout variant with "no dead keys" [20:27] eu_junioru: gnome devs no longer work on gnome2, not even bug fixes [20:28] MonkeyDust: what's a way to get rid of it? [20:28] meh... [20:28] ok... [20:28] L3top: no result but this is wihout the end: VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 03) [20:28] I hava pavillion DV4 ubuntu 12.04, but cant work with SD cards [20:28] yes DOS 6.22 doesnt get updates either [20:28] need to switch to KDE or smth... [20:28] ssta: thanks for trying. ill keep you informed if i do, going to reboot now [20:28] eu_junioru: *ahem* *points at her response again* [20:28] eu_junioru: Because it was time to move on for gnome. Don't know about you, but gnome 2 did not look like it was from 2010 [20:28] Heya [20:28] anyone have aby idea ? [20:28] myscreenp: what is the output of lspci -nnk | grep VGA I want the last line [20:28] wait [20:28] eu_junioru: As for officially supported choices, Xfce feels almost identical to Gnome 2. [20:29] Anyone know a bit about perl? [20:29] myscreenp: what is the output of lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | grep -i kernel [20:29] myscreenp: sorry [20:29] fuzzyghost: I do. Also, #perl does. [20:29] thanks MonkeyDust , smallfoot- ,bekks,romy420,i7c,all [20:29] :) [20:29] Okay, thanks. It wouldn't hurt if I ask here, or should I move it to #perl? [20:30] cl0ne, there is FreeDOS - http://freedos.org/ [20:30] L3top: Kernel driver in use: i915 [20:30] fuzzyghost: It wouldn't hurt, no, but you're more likely to get a sane answer in the Perl channel. [20:30] fuzzyghost: this is not a programmers' channel - better ask in #perl [20:30] Okay, just wondering if it would clutter up this channel too much. [20:30] Thank you. [20:30] And also you wouldn't get people chasing you around doing this [20:30] !ot [20:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:31] ms-studio, it is not possible that it prevents further booting from live cd [20:31] myscreenp: How are you trying to change the resolution? [20:31] <__Alex_> ms-studio: What error message do you ger booting LiveCD?

However, if I choose a keyboard setting without dead keys, I can type "can't" at once, but typing ö is not possible anymore. [20:33] hi per is mad [20:33] SSHtester are u german?

[21:09] dell, i dont know what "hotspot shield" is [21:09] sounds like some intrusion detection for wifi?

I'm using 12.04... =( [21:26] imo the steps are the same [21:26] lookin for some assistance, i did an upgrade from 11.10 > 12.04 and now my wireless device isn't being recognized [21:26] <_skpl> unity is awesome. [21:27] ssta,smallfoot-,bekks: back with interesting results. swapped in two different harddrives(ubuntu,mint) all show 2757 total. removed gfx card went integrated mem shows as 3252.

[21:35] thanks escott, zykotick9, im off to drink [21:36] just giving some feedback to peeps that tried to help me earlier [21:37] lookin for some assistance, i did an upgrade from 11.10 > 12.04 and now my wireless device isn't being recognized http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109048/ [21:37] hey there. when i use this site http://www.whatismyip.com/tools/host-name-lookup.asp i get unknown hostname. it's on my server . how to fix hostname on ubuntu 12.04 server === ubuntu is now known as Guest76588 [21:37] Demon|Ubuntu type !wifi for instructions [21:38] !wifi [21:38] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:38] i looked there [21:38] Good evening guys :) I wonder if someone would be kind enough to help me sort out a network issue please. I've been through the wifi docs and cannot find assistance with this issue - I want to move away from using a network manager, and set up an ifcfg for my wireless device. [21:38] kennyvb: Ermm. Your DNS isnt working. Your computer cant translate the domainname into an IP address. [21:38] Demon|Ubuntu: have you looked in "additional drivers" to make sure proprietary drivers are installed if necessary [21:39] MonkeyDust: if you're gonna teach how to fish - at least use a rod. "/msg ubottu wifi" ;) [21:39] there aren't any, just for my gfx card [21:39] kennyvb, thats through whoever you purchase your domain name from [21:39] do you have a hardware button that turns the wifi card off Demon|Ubuntu? [21:39] escott: ohh so there's nothing i can do about it ? unless i contact those i have the server at ? [21:39] i do, but it's only turning on/off my bluetooth [21:40] I have an old one here from a long time ago, back when I was on Mandriva - but it doesn't work on this distro. The device I need to set up is wlan0, which needs to connect via dhcp and requires a password, the router it's connecting to is wpa-psk locked. Any ideas, please? [21:40] zykotick9 it's what i do myself [21:40] bekks: the server works wonders just not on that point. any idea how to fix ? [21:40] card worked fine in 11.10 [21:40] kennyvb: By configuring a working DNS server in your /etc/resolv.conf file. [21:40] !wifi [21:40] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:40] lspci Demon|Ubuntu will tell you what card you have [21:40] kennyvb, you can run a DNS/DHCP on your local router so that people in your subnet have hostnames, but a hostname seen globally on the web has to be purchased [21:41] bekks: using 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 atm. that's all that's written in the resolv.conf [21:41] kennyvb: fyi resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04 [21:41] escott: hmm it's a vps server connect "directly" to net [21:41] Demon|Ubuntu, if you could also perform lspci -nn as a command, that will give you the vendor and product ident code, similar to what you see on usb devices. Could you provide that too, please? [21:42] kennyvb: Did you purchase a domain name too? [21:42] kennyvb: you need to add something to /etc/network/interfaces (i believe - but don't quote me, check it out first) [21:42] bekks: several all pointing towards to server [21:42] kennyvb, so "vps" could mean a lot of things. it could mean just the server ie "here's the ip address its yours, go buy a .com if you want a name" or it might include an address registration through some registrar [21:43] kennyvb, but at the end of the day you have to pay to call your server "citibank.com" otherwise I would be citibank.com and would be very wealthy man :) [21:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109064/ [21:43] escott: well it's a virtual server hosted at some danish website. hooked up "directly" to the line and i have domains pouting towards the server and well they work just not hostname lookup [21:44] Demon|Ubuntu, which of your devices is not being picked up, the wireless or the ethernet? [21:44] wireless [21:44] ok, thanks. [21:44] i'm connected via ethernet [21:44] ok :) I'll go look at something. How did you connect before with wireless, did you have direct support or were you using ndiswrapper? [21:45] what can I convert an .ogv video into which will play natively on a mac? [21:45] .mov? === LordOfLight is now known as Jyothis [21:45] 11.10 detected it fine w/o any alterations [21:45] .mkv [21:45] mpeg4 [21:45] delinquentme: from free to non-free formats nice! [21:45] ok Demon|Ubuntu - thank you. [21:46] bekks: yes i have a domain. shall i enter it in /ets/hosts perhaps ? would that help or i'm a totally wrong here [21:46] .avi, .ogv, .mpg are just containers [21:46] mpeg4 should work [21:46] kennyvb, i don't know much about reverse DNS or registration for that matter. perhaps your block is too small to appear in rDNS tables/maybe it takes time to populate them? [21:46] Demon|Ubuntu, could you possibly run lsmod and pastebin the results please? [21:47] sure thing [21:47] kennyvb, but its nothing you do only your system will affect the rDNS result [21:47] thanks Demon|Ubuntu :) [21:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109075/ [21:48] cheers [21:48] escott: well the main problem is i can't get my irc bouncer to work and it says it can't lookup my hostname so i bought that was the main problem *hint* thats how i saw it didn't have any hostname [21:49] Demon|Ubuntu, it looks to me from the results of that lsmod that you don't have any modules supporting the device. Let me see if I can find out which one you need. [21:49] oh bother. [21:49] kennyvb, if a local service on your system cannot resolve the hostname to localhost you can just add an entry to /etc/hosts anything in 127.0.0.0/8 will point to the loopback device so just create a new ip entry in 127.0.0.0/8 [21:50] ... [21:50] Demon|Ubuntu, it looks to me from the results of that lsmod that you don't have any modules supporting the device. Let me see if I can find out which one you need. [21:50] ok [21:50] escott: hmm could you type it in line a example so i could see, not sure i queite follow [21:51] !info iwlwifi precise [21:51] Package iwlwifi does not exist in precise [21:52] kennyvb, by default 127.0.0.1 is localhost 127.0.1.1 is the short hostname, you could put 127.0.2.1 as a second hostname .1.2 as a third whatever you want so long as it is 127.*.*.* and not repeating a previous ip address [21:54] hey [21:54] there is another kai on this server right now lolz [21:54] Can someone help me with Demon|Ubuntu please? I need to track down which module supports the Intel Centrino Wireless N card, VPID 8086:0084 - Googled with no joy. [21:55] Looks like it could be from backports, possibly modules-cw or iwlwifi, I can hit neither in our repos though. Is there a risk this now needs dkms support? [21:55] escott: hmm that i understand. so what should i do now ? make a 127.0.1.2 example.com example entry ? or does it need like to be like 127.x.x.x example.example.com example ? [21:55] hello all [21:55] dkms? [21:56] direct kernel module support [21:56] kennyvb, it can be whatever you want it to be. depends on what you need resolved [21:56] it used to be that some modules were included in the kernel, Demon|Ubuntu - like ndiswrapper for example. On Precise, they were turned into dkms packages [21:57] would this even be true if i loaded into my 2.6 kernel? [21:57] escott: say i got multiple domains pointing towards the server. then i just add them to /etc/hosts like 127.x example etc ? [21:57] it may be that the wireless driver for your card is now one of those. [21:57] where does login screen store its locale data? For some reason it is displaying it differently than the /usr/share/i18l/locale would suggest [21:58] Demon|Ubuntu, I don't know, to be honest with you. If you want to try, by all means give it a go - and while you're in there, if you could paste up another copy of your lsmod - if you find your wifi device is supported - that would be a big help :) [21:58] kennyvb, sure you can fill a whole class A network with aliases to your own machine (I wouldn't recommend that, but you can) [21:58] that way I can check through it and see what was supporting it on the 2.6 kernel [21:58] sure, i'll brb on the previous kernel [21:58] ok, see you in a moment [21:59] kennyvb, from a maintenance standpoint though I would wonder why you have to do this. if the problem is that you cannot resolve the domain names you purchased, then i would fix that [21:59] net [22:00] escott: naa the domains works fine. just wanted if it would help on the hostname lookup on the ip on the server . but guess that 's a longshot [22:00] kennyvb, so your problem is that the server cannot rDNS its own WAN ip address? [22:01] escott: yea [22:01] kennyvb, i know neither why that would be necessary or how to fix it [22:01] kennyvb, but you might try ##networking [22:01] wb Demon|Ubuntu :) [22:01] escott: was worth a try to see if anybody knew how to fix it :) [22:01] new lsmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109094/ [22:01] escott: cheers i'll look at that channel then [22:01] and thx [22:01] escott: and thx for the "help" :) [22:01] thanks. Is your card working now? [22:02] im trying to broadcast a google voice conversation to my icecast server. im using a program called liquidsoap and there is a function that can listen on input.alsa() ... anyone have any idea what i should do? [22:02] still not gettin anything [22:02] what is input.alsa? [22:02] hm. lemme look again. It's possible we might need to set you up with ndiswrapper for now. [22:03] am on 2.6.38 kernel [22:03] it'll give you wifi, but until we can figure out where your driver support has gone, it's gonna be a bit tougher than you would have liked. [22:03] kennyvb, adding stuff to /etc/hosts isn't going to help your rDNS issue. if the app asks for example.com and gets 1.2.3.4 and then asks for rDNS on 1.2.3.4 its not going to matter that 127.0.1.2 is listed as example.com in /etc/hosts [22:03] escott: ahhh now i understand === Myr is now known as Myr|Away [22:03] kennyvb, all it would do is make it so that when asking for example.com it got 127.0.1.2 at which point rDNS would resolve example.com [22:04] kennyvb, so it helps but it might not be what you want or need [22:04] new lshw -C network: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109096/ [22:04] crunchbang vs ubuntu vs arch vc slax - discuss [22:04] Demon|Ubuntu, I still can't see anything in there which suggests you have a wifi module. But - I do see ndiswrapper available. [22:04] Is there a way to get the PID of a program if I know the port the program listens on? [22:04] hi all , when i run /etc/init.d/networking stop my desktop looks up and can't do anything , i don't think this is normal, can someone assist? using 12.04 [22:05] Demon|Ubuntu, could you just tell me, do you have a switch on your machine for turning your wifi on and off? [22:05] I will lol hard if he does [22:05] it's a button that i can press to turn it on/off and i leave it on [22:05] Boreeas, i think netstat can tell you the pid of the listening program [22:05] it's on right now [22:05] Is gibson.freenode.net down for anyone else? [22:06] i'm on an HP pavillion laptop [22:06] alusion, best place to ask is in #freenode [22:06] they should be able to tell you [22:06] Boreeas, sudo netstat -lpt [22:06] is your wifi card even showing up? Open terminal and type lspci - then tell me what your wifi card is. [22:07] example - broadcom bcm4313 or so forth. [22:07] Can someone help me out with xwinwrap? [22:08] lspci -mm : 0d:00.0 "Network controller" "Intel Corporation" "Centrino Wireless-N 1000" "Intel Corporation" "Centrino Wireless-N 1000 BGN" [22:08] Demon|Ubuntu, can you switch back to your main kernel please, and I will help you set up ndiswrapper for now. I think it's going to be the only thing we can do until we can get your wifi to pick up. [22:08] I'm wanting to have Hufo's Smoke on my desktop [22:08] Hi all. I have an idea for an Ubuntu app, but I have not finished reading all the quickly documentation. I understand the basics, but I know nothing of python or pygtk. Is anyone here interested in helping create a simple app to select one or more options from a radio list, and save to run chosen options? Please pm me. [22:08] escott: Thank you [22:08] Barking, is his card even showing up? [22:09] hey [22:09] i would also check with ifconfig -a for my wireless card [22:09] how is it possible that the same locale gives different clock format on different users (both gnome desktop)? [22:10] ifconfig -a just gives my ethernet [22:10] just open up the terminal and type lspci to check your network controller. [22:10] that's bad [22:10] aka. wifi card. [22:10] eth0 and lo all that is there, card worked fin under 11.10 [22:10] yeah, you need to grab your drivers for the card [22:10] all i done was an upgrade and it stopped working [22:11] Demon|Ubuntu: rfkill list what does show? [22:11] just use synaptic package manager [22:11] synaptic isn't gettin anything for my card [22:11] do you know what your card model is? [22:11] and I can look up what you need. [22:11] Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [22:12] 12.04 sucks balls by the way. That is why I went to Crunchbang instead. [22:12] kk, give me a sec. [22:12] derptop_, I've tried that, the possible modules i can find come from backports - iwlwifi and modules-cw [22:12] but neither show up in precise [22:12] hrmm [22:12] yeah, upgrade killed my wifi and the ability to automount my ntfs drives [22:13] Demon|Ubuntu: rfkill list what does show? and jokey-gtk does show for some drivers? [22:14] Demon|Ubuntu, as I said - I can set your wifi up for you, but you would need to find some software for windows on the net, which supports your wifi card. ndiswrapper basically uses windows drivers to run your wifi, and I can set that up for you in pretty much no time at all. [22:14] since I'm having issues finding an appropriate linux module for your card, this may be the next step unless anyone else can chip in and help :) [22:14] i had tried that windows, but only found one put out by dell that didn't work [22:15] hold on a moment then, let me see if I can search anything for you. [22:15] any good linux open source wifi hotspot projects? [22:15] was a fix for the rt3090 wifi chipset just put into the latest update i got today cause after the update my wifi is working [22:15] are gnome-shell using compiz? [22:15] what kind of chacing is the clock doing. the language changed, but the format is the old one... [22:15] Demon, try this : sudo mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode.backup [22:15] sudo modprobe -r iwlagn [22:15] sudo modprobe iwlagn [22:15] just to see if you get a response [22:16] rfkill: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109110/ [22:16] aguitel, no it uses mutter or clutter or something-utter [22:16] i tried that too derptop_ [22:16] bah [22:16] Demon|Ubuntu: rfkill list [22:16] !info iwl4965 precise [22:16] Package iwl4965 does not exist in precise [22:16] not only rfkill [22:16] escott, it is like compiz? [22:17] aguitel, its a compositor. in that regard yes it is like compiz [22:17] rfkill list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109112/ [22:17] bullseye. I think I just found it. [22:17] sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi [22:17] sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 [22:17] Demon|Ubuntu: and jokey-gtk give you some additional driver? [22:18] Demon|Ubuntu, would you please go into a terminal, and try this: sudo modprobe iwl4965 [22:18] I am just throwing out fixes that have worked for others with the same card [22:18] no takers on helping with a pygtk app? [22:18] exutux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109114/ [22:19] it's an IWLegacy wifi driver now, it appears to have worked in the past with that card on Debian Wheezy, possible it's the same module. I have it here with the latest kernel [22:19] BarkingFish, didn't do anything [22:19] Demon|Ubuntu: argh jockey-gtk [22:19] learn to read errors [22:19] if it went in ok, Demon|Ubuntu - it would just print an empty line :) === phr_ is now known as phr [22:19] Demon, what is your laptop model? [22:19] what I now want you to do is run another lsmod please, and pastebin it up if you wouldn't mind :) [22:20] HP Pavillion dv7t [22:20] i have the distinct feeling this could be the right iw driver [22:20] lawls, i just leave it to barking. It will be easier for you to work with just one person. He seems on top of it. [22:20] Hit me up if you can't get it fixed. [22:21] derptop_, 10 sets of eyes are better than 1 with glasses :) [22:21] Hey guys, hoping someone on here knows how to set up my nvidia drivers. I'm having a hell of a time with performance issues. I upgraded to 302.whatever and its still blah. I can't play games that I know the card can handle. Anyone on that could help =). [22:21] you feel free to chip in whenever you like, I'm not hogging the job :) [22:21] fair enough :D [22:21] lsmod under my 2.6.38 kernel still (haven't rebooted to the 3.2 kernel yet) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109116/ [22:21] If I wanted to make my own directories from root, how would I go about permissions to secure them? [Creating a home directory / user etc] [22:21] Ketamine : What games? [22:21] Demon|Ubuntu this page deals with similar problem: [22:21] http://askubuntu.com/questions/74692/wifi-for-centrino-wireless-n-1000-intel-corporation-hp-pavillion-dm4-2070us [22:22] derptop_, mainly trine 2 right now. I have also tried some other 3d games and its performance leaves a lot to be desired. [22:22] exutux, that command brought up the additional drivers dialog box for my gfx card (that screws things up anytime i activate them) [22:22] does gnome-shell have some clock format setting? something is preventing locale changes from affecting the clock format [22:22] derptop_, I have a 7950 GX2 so its SLI but one real card with 2 pcbs [22:22] Demon|Ubuntu: ok [22:22] ketamine: What card do you have? [22:22] nvm, you just told me [22:23] =) [22:23] delac, yes. exposed in gconf or gnome-tweak-tool. you can modify whether or not the day is shown if seconds are shown etc [22:23] kk, let me put some pants on and take a piss and ill help you out. [22:23] brb [22:23] derptop_, lol kk. I think its not recognizing both cards as one [22:23] drivers for ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) and ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [22:24] can someone tell me if xmm2 can stream to daap clients (using xmms2-plugin-daap)? [22:24] those drivers don't play well with unity [22:24] Demon|Ubuntu, could you reboot back to your main kernel please, and carry out the modprobe again once you get there? What you should have in your lsmod is the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109120/ [22:24] i can't get it to work [22:24] if you load the iwl4965 module, those will follow it [22:24] escott: the problem is with minute/second separator. It stays as dot . no matter what locale is chosen. [22:24] be ready to repaste that to me when i come back [22:25] ok [22:25] brb need to reboot [22:26] nvm, didnt need to [22:26] is it possible that an update could have fixed my wifi card problems? [22:27] brophat ... why not? sometimes this really happens ;) [22:27] Later. [22:28] delac, i would install gconf-editor and poke around in there see if its set up strange [22:29] interesting how it shows i have updates available to install, but can't install [22:29] can't install multi-arch versions of former ia32-libraries [22:30] Demon|Ubuntu, ok - so, have you added the module back in, please? [22:30] which module, remind me [22:31] sudo modprobe iwl4965 [22:31] derptop_, you need quicker pants =P [22:31] escott: the problem clocks are the one on gnome-shell and on the login screen (might be indicator applet, I'm not sure). The locale setting application on System settings shows correct format. One user has the format correctly, other doesn't and the login too. I wonder if gconf has any effect on gnome-shell or indicators. [22:31] ketamine: had to brush the teeth also. [22:31] and then when you add that, if it goes in, you need to check lsmod for the files here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109120/ [22:31] ketamine: so give me the run down. [22:32] I got like 30 mins before I gotta go.

[22:33] so they there [22:33] excellent :) [22:33] Hello there is there desktop files to do a couple things (like how gnome asks if you want to shut down) ? thanks for your time [22:34] please helpme, my screen is runing well just in the mode to prevend faills, not in normal mode. I just have 640x400 [22:34] derptop_, ok so I installed ubuntu 12.04 and the drivers worked as far as desktop, web browsing, the simple things. Tried trine 2 as it looks great and it ran horribly slow. Looks like it should run fine on max settings imo but it doesnt run good on the lowest settings. So I talked to someone last night, he instructed me to purge my settings and install the current with apt-get command. I had previously tried to install an offici [22:34] al nvidia 259.53 driver I believe it was so I got this weird mismatched api error and X crash. Fixed that somehow lol, removed the drivers then reinstalled current with apt get and now I'm back here with once again slow performance. [22:34] shutdown,reboot,suspendand Logout [22:34] !manual | bobweaver does this help? [22:34] bobweaver does this help?: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [22:34] no no no I need to know the name of the desktop files or if I have to make themm [22:34] them * [22:34] derptop_, I believe the problem is among other things that it is seeing only one GPU, when i look under the nvidia config tool it shows GPU 0 on my samsung monitor and GPU 1 on nothing. [22:34] now comes the big one, Demon|Ubuntu - can you run iwconfig, and tell me if it's picking up a wifi interface? [22:35] bobweaver, you mean you want application launcher that would shutdown the machine? [22:35] where can I get php5-xdebug that works with php5.4? [22:35] now i can 1024x786 but if i start normal i can just see 640x400 (i try to install one ubuntu to one friend and it seems i cant prepare the resolution) [22:35] escott, yes but I need it for all them [22:35] that I listed above that is [22:35] BarkingFish, no wireless extensions. [22:35] bobweaver, i've never heard of such a thing [22:35] Unity uses it [22:35] derptop_, I'm not sure if you know the card offhand but it is a pci express with 2 pcbs interlinked with a ribbon so I assume you'd count it as SLI but takes up one slot. [22:35] ketamine: do you have to propietary drivers checked? [22:36] ok - not a major problem. I think what it needs to do is to be able to access that module when you boot, and run it on boot up. The problem I have, is that I can't remember how to do that. [22:36] ketamine: or are you running on opengl? [22:36] Like /usr/share/applications/,name-of-program.dsktop [22:36] bobweaver, you could make one. it should call out to gnome-session-quit [22:36] er spelling sorry [22:36] derptop_, - if you're free, a little chip in here would be useful: How do you add a module so that it automatically loads on boot? [22:36] derptop_, I currently have "nvidia_current_updates" and "nvidia_current" both lit up green and then like 4 xorg drivers, no idea where they came fromn [22:37] Yeah I have done that but need to make ones for suspens and reboot I know the commands but would like the UI to show up [22:37] derptop_, I have no idea what I'm running I'm quite new to linux and learning as I go [22:37] ^^ sudo reboot [22:37] Ketamine: It could be a driver mix up. Give me on second to look it up. [22:38] sudo poweroff but then user has to enter info and I have to launch gtk ect pain in the but to shut down [22:38] derptop_, ok. I have tried a few dif ones so far, hoping I can figure something out. I don't think its the trine 2 game itself but I don't have any easy way to test performance [22:38] BarkingFish: echo modulename | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [22:38] thanks :) ^^ Demon|Ubuntu - try that [22:38] what the hell was that? [22:38] what module name am i using? [22:38] Sorry, excuse my french. [22:38] ghostchick looks like need to fix their client [22:39] Demon|Ubuntu, the module name is iwl4965 === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [22:39] ketamine: well if you are getting all around slugish preformance with the the unity ui then it sounds like a driver issue and not the game itself. [22:39] ketamine: do you have the 302.07 beta driver installed? [22:39] ight, done that, reboot? [22:40] ketamine: if not go ahead and install it. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-302.07-driver.html [22:41] ketamine: that link is assuming you are on a 64bit system, if not then just grab the 32bit one of the same driver. [22:41] please helpme to fix my screen resolution [22:41] derptop_, i did have that installed at one point but I can install it again. Mind giving me a quick idea of how to rid myself of the current drivers so I know its a clean install [22:41] Demon|Ubuntu, yup, that might be a start. Also, while you're out, just check the settings for your wifi in your bios and make sure everything is switched on and active in there, too [22:41] ketamine: really you can get rid of any graphics drivers that are not related to nividia, but the the new driver should overwrite the old one anyways. [22:42] Nvidia* [22:42] BarkingFish, i know they are as my primary os is windows and wifi isn't an issue there [22:42] Oh ok then. Well have a reboot, and see if anything changes when you come back :) [22:42] will reboot once these new updates install [22:43] ok i will install it then and be back [22:43] shouldnt take me long [22:43] ketamine: you can check what drivers are installed with synaptic package manager. [22:43] derptop_, k, so leaving the old one is fine? [22:43] ok then, Demon|Ubuntu - I will still be online for about another 90 minutes or so, so if this fails, I will run you through ndiswrapper until we can fix you up, or derptop_ can have a shot, whichever you want :) [22:43] ketamine: I would think yes, nvidia drivers are built to overwrite the previous version. [22:44] k [22:44] ok [22:44] why do i have like 5 dif nvidia xorg drivers [22:44] any idea why [22:44] ketamine: although other driver not related to nvidia if installed could cause confrontation issues. [22:45] ketamine: I am not sure lol, you can remove them and install the new driver if you want to be safe. It shouldn't hurt. [22:45] k [22:45] romy420 so it is possible to have fixed my wifi probs even though i didn't recompile anything etc? [22:46] Oh shit, I gotta go. Ill be back later, stay on if you need more help and ill hit you up when I get back. === smw is now known as smw_work [22:47] I have a question. I have a shell script in a Scripts folder and would like to add it to my path. How do i do that [22:47] hello, quick question. I'm having an issue with xfce-terminal becoming unresponsive, I can open new tabs and move between them but every once in a while that session becomes unresponsive. I'm wondering if I'm possibly misstyping a hotkey that might cause this or if it's the fact that it's xfce. [22:47] idk, but how often do you hear: update your drivers? so, maybe yes [22:47] i needed to reboot. can anyone helpme to fix my resolution from 640x400 to 1024x786 [22:47] i always have errors that never get fixed ... jk [22:47] 768 [22:48] anyone know how to add a script to the path [22:49] any ideas [22:49] exit [22:49] btw, how did u get the update? lan? [22:50] Mistakenelf, what do u mean by that? [22:50] brb [22:54] Is any one here really familiar with prolog. [22:54] and by really I mean relatively. [22:54] ight, i'm back [22:54] anyone knowa how I delete the completed jobs in CUPS?? [22:54] BarkingFish, doesn't appear the module loaded [22:55] not in lsmod === M4ssKill3r[BDC] is now known as kracker[BDC] [22:55] wait, yeah it is [22:56] overlooked it since it not in same position [22:56] genii-around, any ideas? [22:57] Hi, I'm trying to assign the CTRL + ALT + W keys to make a "?" and CTRL ALT Q to make a "\", currently my notebook only produces this symbols with alt gr + q (or alt gr + w) [22:57] BarkingFish: I don't know much about prolog [22:57] I'm really used to press ctrl alt instead of alt gr [22:58] module is in lsmod, just didn't have any impact on connecting to my wifi [22:58] enapupe, you can accomplish that with xmodmap, but you should check the advanced settings in the keyboard properties to see if you can swap alt gr for ctrl alt or something [22:59] i have been instaling ubuntu in the laptop of a frien since 5 hours ago or more and i cant fix this screen resolution, please helpme [23:00] escott: this settings you say are a gui? [23:00] iwconfig shows no wireless extensions [23:00] enapupe, yeah keyboard then "layout settings" then options [23:00] i'm there [23:00] scre, that is really unusual. maybe that's why nobody has an answer [23:01] trying to understand what to do.. [23:01] enapupe, all kinds of common xmodmap options there [23:01] i would google + ubuntu + version [23:01] possible you're not the first who encounters this [23:02] nevermind I found it: just delete all files inside /var/spool/cups with root, except tmp [23:02] screen resolution is almost always recognized from the start [23:02] escott: there is something 'third level' in there [23:03] not for me romy420 [23:03] i checked left alt and it started working [23:03] but it must be ctrl alt [23:03] i need help to fix it [23:03] because just alt will screw menus, right? [23:04] u had a different resolution a while ago in one of the modlines [23:04] i not new to linux, but i used xorg files not xrand [23:04] 13xx ...768 or something [23:05] scre, have you tried BulletProofX [23:05] http://pastebin.com/zL0LgMLY thats my xrandr [23:05] nope i just installed and 5 hours trying to solve this problem [23:06] without success [23:06] the only think i found is to use the non fail start [23:06] BarkingFish, dunno if this is of any use, but my lspci -v has this for my wireless: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109179/ [23:06] u cant try to force this in grub. type 'e' in grub boot menu to enter xx after gfxmode (delete the variable that is there) [23:07] and it works, even if i got out of the fail safe tonormal, it works. but if i go to normal start, it does not remember the resolution and goes to 640x400 [23:07] bulletproof X is built into ubuntu for that particular low graphics problem.. toy with it till you find a setting that works. or you could try installing the proprietary drivers [23:07] Hey guys [23:08] I apparently can't install the ATI post release updates [23:08] any fix? [23:08] ok Demon|Ubuntu - please give me a few seconds, I'm getting called on across a couple of servers at the moment. [23:08] ok [23:08] romy420 u tellme to test start with e in grub and put 1024x768x24 after gfxmode ? [23:08] Please bear with me, I'm not deserting you, I will look in a moment or two :) [23:08] take ur time [23:08] ok, ill try [23:09] i have a windows machine i'm restoring atm at the same time [23:09] Excellent, Demon|Ubuntu :) It claims to be recognising your wifi, and detecting a kernel module assigned to it :) [23:09] wasnt that a different resolution a while back. like a notebook widescreen resolution or do i recall that wrong? [23:09] enapupe, perhaps dont have a keyboard like that [23:09] I'm a bit mystified at the for the capabilities though [23:10] gksu displayconfig-gtk [23:11] wow, who let the morons out today? [23:11] 0.0 [23:13] wouldn't that command be satisfactory for his problem? gksu displayconfig-gtk [23:14] thats as far as the manuals ive read comment on graphical errors. :( [23:15] pb, i dont think so, because the resolution is not available, so he probably would not be able to choose it there [23:16] thought he was just running in low graphics mode. :( [23:16] he is, maybe the wrong graphics driver for some exotic gpu [23:16] hardware compatibility or the like. [23:17] i wonder if there are any problem-free graphics drivers for linux ;) [23:17] mine are not [23:17] ati [23:17] romy420 i had the same question [23:17] lol [23:17] i've got ati also...i'm not a big fan. i am thinking of switching to nvidia but idk if i'll fare any better that way [23:18] running a radion 7200 <--- ubuntu said whaaa?

Here are some more info on the problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/167251/ubuntu-freezes-malfuncion-logs-off-suddenly [23:19] Hey I have a question thats a little off topic. I am considering buying a rack server and running ubuntu server, but I know nothing about rack servers. I am curious besides the server itself, what else would I need to buy like casing, cooling, etc [23:20] Right now I just have one tower server [23:20] They usually come as a complete unit. The rack you put it in usually has the cooling, etc built in [23:20] zymaster, #hardware can probably help you out [23:20] rather ##hardware [23:20] Thanks [23:20] zymaster: But this is perhaps also a bit offtopic, since not really an Ubunu specific question, etc [23:21] Yeah I know, sorry I couldn't think of a better place to ask though.

[23:34] or may I uninstall it? [23:34] subz3r0, neither requires it [23:34] lol [23:34] adam360x, You can pretty much do the same, except now it's more difficult! Lol, just kidding.

[23:35] adam360x, Did you just install Ubuntu completely, or did you set it up to dual boot windows/ubuntu? [23:36] Iǜe already tried. But people here are much more than in ubuntu-br. :/ [23:37] escott, hmm, it will deinstall some other stuff too... like compiz, compiz plugins, compiz plugins extra, compiz plugins default, etc AND unity? [23:37] no im running partitions [23:37] subz3r0, you obviously don't want to uninstall anything other than ccsm, but you should be able to install ccsm itself [23:38] Need help with an nvidia driver issue. I uninstalled soem drivers trying to fix low FPS and now my screen is black upon X booting up [23:38] Leonardo__: You need to wait more then 3 minutes. [23:38] escott, when i try to uninstall it with the software center it will uninstall the other mentioned stuff too [23:38] is ubuntu generally faster than xp? [23:38] Hey guys [23:38] subz3r0, you are trying to uninstall the compizconfig-settings-manager and it wants to uninstall compiz as well? [23:38] Why doesn't the ATI post release updates install? [23:39] escott, indeed [23:39] adam360x: is a car generally faster than a bike? [23:39] lol [23:39] I'm trying to install it because games lag like shit otherwise [23:39] can i run ubuntu on a 512mb ram pc (Intel pentium 4) [23:39] ? [23:39] adam it all depends on your hardware and video card [23:39] qasaur: please mind your language [23:39] Sorry [23:39] and the window manager you use [23:39] subz3r0, not sure why it would want to do that. you might check the command line "sudo apt-get uninstall compizconfig-settings-manager" in case synaptic settings are weird [23:39] can i run ubuntu on a 512mb ram pc (Intel pentium 4)? [23:39] adam360x, It can be, it all depends, but normally Ubuntu is much faster than all Windows versions. [23:39] i am [23:40] hypertz: mhhh, it's recommended 1gb, it will work, but it will use a lot of swap [23:40] hypertz, yes but you might prefer xubuntu [23:40] hypertz: yes [23:40] hypertz: it works. but dont use unity [23:40] hypertz: You probably would want to go to a lighter desktop as escott recommends [23:40] I'm having a quicklist problem with 12.04 lts. I've saved an app there several times and when I reboot it's gone. Also, if I install it to the quicklist again I can't see it if I try edit the quicklist with ubuntu tweak. It's still there though and functional. That is until I reboot. Any ideas? [23:40] escott, will try purge instead of uninstall [23:40] that was fast help :D [23:40] adam360x and linux does not become slower in time, as any windows inevitably does [23:40] hmm xbuntu has only shell right? [23:40] MonkeyDust: amen to that [23:40] subz3r0, i purge vs uninstall shouldn't make a difference [23:40] i don't gnome [23:41] hey i used the same method of getting ubuntu on this computer as my laptop but the laptop is using wifi and this is ethernet, i cant search for any wifi networks on linux [23:41] i just need to run it as a server [23:41] hypertz: xubuntu = ubuntu + xfce [23:41] hypertz, If that doesn't work, PuppyLinux works really well, but it's a pain to get used to. [23:41] i ran windows on the laptop and the wifi worked just fine [23:41] hypertz: then install ubuntu server. 512 is plenty of RAM then [23:41] escott, dont want any stuff to be left on the system... like config files etc.. [23:41] qasaur, hte graphical tool sometails falis installing them, but you could tra to install them with 'sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates' but this may also leave you with more problems [23:41] <_ramok> hi [23:41] <_ramok> how can i add a user to a group?

[23:43] Anyone mind walking me through getting my desktop back, its black currently after messing with nvidia drivers [23:43] ati is better [23:43] :D [23:43] not. [23:43] i do have nvidia graphics card though [23:43] _ramok, you can do that within the gui too... check users and grps... have another location set here... but should be named something like that [23:44] but anyone have an answer on my quesiton? [23:44] chrisdku: Are you able to get to console with ctrl-alt-F1 ? [23:44] I'm actually having a brain fart if anyone wants to help me with my wireless... I just upgraded some packages (maybe the kernel update, dunno it req'd a restart) and now my wlan0 doesn't even show up on iwconfig. My chip does show up with lspci though. [23:44] <_ramok> i've added a user to the group www-data and run a script... this script needs to create some folder etc [23:44] adam360x, ati is better? youre disqualifying urself... [23:44] <_ramok> somehow i always get permission denied [23:44] _ramok, "SUDO" [23:44] from wh at? [23:45] <_ramok> but why run it as sudo if the user is the owner of that folder [23:45] BarkingFish, so what now? [23:45] genii-around: yes im there now waiting to fix this. I can summarize the story for ya. I had low FPS with my card (7950gx2, 2 pcbs in 1 slot) and so I went down to 295.53 drivers, then someone said upgrade to beta so I removed all drivers in package manager then upgraded, now its all black [23:45] _ramok: because youre not doing anything with the folder. you asked to add a user to a group [23:45] to be honest, I can't remember what the last thing I told you to do was, Demon|Ubuntu :) [23:45] _ramok, you cant change the group of a user as a differnt user without admin priv... [23:45] Sorry, I'm tired. [23:45] _ramok: that's a deep going administration issue that gives a user additional rights. so: sudo [23:45] <_ramok> i7c: yeah right, i did that already... this folder should be writable by www-data [23:46] _ramok: the owner is www-data? how are the rights set? [23:46] _ramok, verify your user is in www-data with "groups" then check the permissions on the folder with ls -l [23:46] BarkingFish, hadn't told me to do anything i just been sittin here [23:46] You added the module, the module was inserted for application on boot, you rebooted... what I need you to do now, is run iwconfig and tell me if you have anything. [23:46] if not, we might need to set you an interface up in the interfaces file. [23:46] i ran that, no wireless extensions is what is given [23:46] ok, then we need to set your wireless up with an interface name [23:47] <_ramok> i7c i did a chmod -R g+w on the first level folder [23:47] one moment, while I look up what I'm doing :) [23:47] k [23:47] how do i install this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Empathy [23:47] genii-around: you still with us [23:48] _ramok: and that worked? [23:48] chrisdku: You can revert the driver with sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current= for specific version use the line in the result of apt-cache policy nvidia-current that shows the 295 [23:48] <_ramok> i7c: no [23:48] <_ramok> :) [23:48] genii-around: can I just use the sommand without specific version then try to upgrade to 302 beta [23:48] chrisdku: Yes, I'm here, just I can't tell you the excat 295 version because I'm on 12.10 xorg-edgers [23:49] _ramok: :D. well for that you have to be in www-data as well, otherwise sudo ;) [23:49] Demon|Ubuntu, ok, here's what I need you to do. [23:49] Something is wrong with my systemconfig. in "Systemconfig - Keyboard - Keyboardshortcuts/bindings" I have 2 entries for Make a screenshot with "print" and two entries for Make a screenshot of a window with Alt+pring. Any suggestions where that comes from? I never changed there anything [23:49] chrisdku: If you don't specify version it should use whatever latest one it has in repos [23:49] <_ramok> i7c: that's why i asked how to add a user to the group [23:49] genii-around: k ill see what happens then find out if i can upgrade from there [23:49] I need you to go into a terminal, and run sudo vim.tiny /etc/modules.conf [23:49] chrisdku: Also to make sure you have kernel headers for your kernel so the dkms stuff doesn't break [23:49] <_ramok> i7c: and, i did the above command, but groups give me: untu adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev admin [23:49] <_ramok> and i'm not in www-data [23:50] kernel headers? [23:50] genii-around: kernel headers? [23:50] i'm in there [23:50] chrisdku: Yes, the nvidia driver requires kernel headers to install [23:50] it's a new file [23:50] anyone know a good distro for my imac g4? ppc7450 [23:50] <_ramok> oh, i need to re-login [23:50] genii-around: new to linux not sure what that is, is it a package i need to install? [23:50] <_ramok> i guess [23:50] delete the key will work, but when i want to set again alt+print, it will make "Mod2+Alt L" hmm? [23:50] berryhwite, whats the cpu speed and ram? [23:50] ok, now you need to add this line to that file: you will need to type it in, so please take a note of it carefully, Demon|Ubuntu [23:51] 700, and 256 === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:51] <_ramok> i7c: that worked [23:51] genii-around: installed the current drivers with apt-get, now rbeooting, hopefully it shows up, doubt itll fix the fps tho [23:51] <_ramok> thanks [23:51] crud. Wrong information - Hold on a moment [23:51] _ramok: :) [23:51] chrisdku: apt-cache search linux |grep header| grep $(uname -r) will tell you the packagename you need to get the headers [23:51] berryhwite, Eww. to be honest. I had an Old imac DV (500mhz 512 mb ram) i never was able to get a decent linux install going on it. To many issues. I just ended up using OS-X on it and using it as a SSh terminal [23:51] I was just about to get you to install a USB wifi into there instead. [23:51] Apologies, I need to google this :) === Kitarst_ is now known as Kitar|st [23:52] is cool [23:52] berryhwite, i finaly got rid of the thing. :) just a big fancy paper weight on my desk. [23:52] BarkingFish, I'm in the same boat, how to exit the new file w/o saving? [23:52] genii-around: ok, xubuntu is loading now fine, so I'll see what header i have then reinstall the 302 beta driver. [23:52] genii-around: nvm, jinxed it [23:52] dr_willis, ohh.. yeah so far, ssh and irc box is what im using it for.. thanks [23:52] genii-around: api mismatch [23:53] i have enough going on my other computers though, nice to separate a few things === Guest90886 is now known as thomas [23:53] * Demon|Ubuntu continues work on a windows xp machine while waiting [23:53] berryhwite, i never was able to get the Display working right. it was always shifted over to the left like half an inch. :( [23:53] chrisdku: api or abi ? [23:53] nkei0, to get out without saving, you simply press escape, and type :!q [23:53] genii-around: removed the old driver with nvidia --uninstaller command rebooting to try that out, API [23:53] genii-around: I had this happen before and had to uninstall the ones i tried to manually install [23:53] dr_willis gah !! frustrating [23:54] dr_willis you mean physically shifted? or the image was shifted [23:54] BarkingFish, Thanks. [23:54] genii-around, Are you free for a second please? [23:54] chrisdku: OK... work needs me 3-5 minutes but I'll be back. Expect lag if i'm not right at my computer yet [23:54] BarkingFish: ^ [23:55] im trying to change the keybindings for printscreen... when i try to add Alt+Print, it will accept ""Mod2+Alt L" why? [23:55] oh ok, sorry [23:55] berryhwite, The Image was to the left. on the console the first 3 characters or so were always unreadable. I could twiddle with fbset i recall and fix it.. but it would have to get done every time i changed consoles.. X was also that way. [23:55] genii-around: I'm in an x session, desktop is up but screen is huge in resolution, not sure how I shold proceer [23:55] anyone else with networking experience? [23:55] berryhwite, OS-X had its software 'monitor' settings that would move it.. i think. but i was not dual booting [23:55] BarkingFish, sure :) guess all of us ;) === viv`d is now known as vivid [23:55] since were in here :D [23:55] lol [23:56] dr_willis hm, settings being reset in nvram i do suppose [23:56] subz3r0, ok. Would you happen to know once we have a module installed for a wifi device, how to assign a device name to it, and how to add the module for a pci device to /etc/modules.conf? [23:57] mine was done automagically through using ndiswrapper, since I wrote the config directly after installing my drivers, but I can't work out how to assign a pci device and what it can do. My line looks something like this: install usb:v129Bp160Cd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper [23:57] subz3r0, alt+print=sysreq [23:57] Demon|Ubuntu, Did you upgrade some packages and your wireless break? [23:57] escott, sysrec? [23:57] if u consider upgrading from 11.10 > 12.04, then yes [23:58] i have two entries in there for just making a screenshot. there should only be one. since both have the same function and command [23:58] I recall that it needs to be an install command, followed by the assignment of the device, then /sbin/modprobe iwl4965 on the end. It's just the middle bit I need :) [23:58] Demon|Ubuntu, Lol, Yeah, that counts. [23:58] subz3r0, on most keyboards the "sysrq" key which has special meaning in linux (its the equivalent of our ctrl-alt-delete see !reisub) is the "alt" of printscreen. so mapping something to "alt+printscreen" would be a bad idea [23:58] BarkingFish, why do you want to give it a special name? why not just working with wlanX ? [23:59] subz3r0, some of them come up differently, phy0, wlan0, ath0 and so on. [23:59] I can't remember what this one appears as [23:59] escott, you understand me wrong. wait ill make a screenshot [23:59] but it also needs to have the assignment in modules.conf so the system knows which module goes with what network device [23:59] mine didn't work until I put it in there
