douglassorry. don't know how that happened00:07
Barnabasyou fought the floodbot and the floodbot won ..00:07

drsteinbergHow do i enable secondary logon in Ubuntu?00:08
usr13_drsteinberg: Add user00:09
douglasMy dvd player reads DVDs and mounts if they have data on them but I can't get any of my burning software to acknowledge a blank dvd.. Any suggestions?00:09
usr13_drsteinberg: adduser  #From terminal....00:09
Barnabasdouglas, for a new blank dvd?00:10
douglasyeah00:10
Barnabasdouglas, thats weird, the volume should hold no file system what so ever00:10
drsteinbergso if i'm an admin, i really don't need to enable anything?00:11
e0ne199hello again, btw i have accidentaly remove update-rc.d, how to restore it again anyway?00:11
usr13_douglas: You write data to blank disks, (no reading involved so...)00:11
douglaswhen i go into k3b it doesn't acknowledge the fact that I ave a disk.00:11
douglasI looked at k3bsetup but I really don't know what I'm looking at.00:11
Neytiriit didnt give me a option for safe mode00:11
Barnabasusr13, but how does linux even know how to try to mount a blank dvd ..00:12

NeytiriBarnabas: it doesent give me a safemode option00:13
Barnabasusr13, perhaps not a problem then ..00:14
e0ne199hello, anyone?00:14
BarnabasNeytiri, really what exact version of ubuntu are you trying to run?00:14
Dr_willis!find update-rc.d00:14
ubottuFile update-rc.d found in insserv, manpages-fr-extra, manpages-pl, multistrap, sysv-rc, zsh, zsh-beta00:14
usr13_Barnabas: The blank disk, in and of itself, does nothing.  It is up to you to fire up a disk writing application and provide data or iso.00:14
BarnabasNeytiri, afaik all recent versions of ubuntu have a "SAFE" option in the boot sequence00:14
Dr_willise0ne199,  perhaps reinstall the sysv-rc package.00:14
douglasanyone have any idea why k3b wouldn't see my blank dvd?00:15
Barnabasusr13, agree00:15
Dr_willisdouglas,  its looking for /dev/dvd which is an invalid link perhaps.00:15
studioif i open an mp3 file from a ntfs partition and iam running ubuntu where this file temporarily located to?00:15
usr13_Barnabas: See:  cdrecord & growisofs00:16
Dr_willisstudio,  located to? if you open it.. its getting read from the NTFS partition..00:16
Barnabasusr13, know them00:16
Barnabasusr13, that was not the origian question00:16
Barnabasusr spool back00:16
usr13_Ok, just general FYI00:16
Dr_willisstudio,  if you mean wheres the NTFS filesystmes mountpoint.. if  its mounted on the fly by the user via gnome. it should be in the .gvfs directroy somewhere00:17
Barnabasusr13, not really needed :-)00:17
usr13_... wasn't just for your eyes00:17
Barnabasusr13, there was a story about a linux system trying to mount a blank dvd00:17
Barnabasnever heard about that00:17
romy420douglas, did u try to burn it anyway? what happens if u do?00:18
Barnabasunless someone somewhere has started to make dvd's with an intitial dvd partition for some reason00:19
NeytiriBarnabas: Welcome to Ubuntu 11.10,   thats what i get when i ssh is00:20
BarnabasNeytiri, sshd is not a part of the std ubuntu desktop dist, so I suppose you installed openssh?00:21
romy420Barnabas: maybe u wanted to say 'recovery mode'?00:21
Neytiriyes i did00:21
Barnabasromy420, yes I did00:21
romy420:-)00:21
Neytirithe issue is i changed from a nvidia gt9800  to a ATI radion 6770 graphics card00:22
BarnabasNeytiri, and my question is:00:22
Barnabasis the new gpu supported by fglrx00:22
BarnabasI use intel today00:22
Barnabasor nvidia00:22
Neytirii dont know   how would i find out00:22
Barnabasdocumentation for fglrx00:23
romy420Netyri, this gpu should be supported, boot recovery mode into a shell and then00:23
romy420sudo apt-get install fglrx00:23
Neytiriok00:23
Barnabasworth trying00:23
simplyskaHey guys, I had a power failure yesterday and now my hfs+ hard drive will not mount. It's showing up in fdisk. Is there any way to check the disk in linux?00:23
romy420though i'm not sure if the nvidia driver must be deinstalled before00:23
Barnabasromy420, but he used fglrx before00:24
Neytiriromy420 i will give it a try00:24
usr13_simplyska: yes00:24
Barnabason another gpu00:24
usr13_simplyska: fsck00:24
heligolandcan anyone help me with a freezing issue?00:24
romy420i understood that he changed the graphics card and rebooted/booted up00:24
=== Tabstar is now known as Tabmow
Barnabasromy420, yes00:24
usr13_simplyska: But it is normally done, when needed, during normal bootup.00:24
Barnabasif the chipset is compatible that should be ok00:25
romy420then i'd say the ati driver must be installed now00:25
Barnabasromy420, it was before the old gpu was also an ati00:25
romy420it's a newer card, they are all supported (with some bugs oc)00:25
Barnabasusing fglrx00:25
romy420:-)00:25
Deeti have an interesting delima. i need to install a USB wifi adapter to a mac book g3 ubuntu install with out having access to the internet on the mac book (ethernet port is physically broken) how difficult could this be?00:25
Barnabasromy420, but perhaps the device id has changed btw00:25
sandiegSomeone advice me a good website to install FGLRX proprially !!!!00:26
Barnabasthe pci identity00:26
romy420Barnabas, he said nvidia gt980000:26
usr13_simplyska: You can try tho...  If the partition in question is sda2, try this:  fsck -y /dev/sda200:26
sandiegplease !!!00:26
sandiegsomeone !00:26
heligolandHELLO?00:27
Neytiriok romy420 fglrx is installed00:27
usr13_simplyska: ... but you will obviously need to do it from a liveCD or USB or another running [Linux] system.00:27
simplyskausr13_: does fsck support gpt? would it be safer to check it from my mac instead?00:27
LuceoHi guys, I've installed Ubuntu in a Xen DomU instance and it's not loading xen-netfront or xen-blkfront, but is booting. I can't get access to network. Please help.00:28
romy420Nertriya, reboot, if hte screen goes black after grub or something like that, then add nomodeset in the grub boot options00:28
craigbass1976Any way to get radicale to install via apt-get in lucid?  There seem to only be packages  starting from natty00:28
Neytiriromy420 i have video up untill the login screen comes up00:28
amageeI'm not sure if I should be asking this on #ubuntu or #vbox or elsewhere, but I have Ubuntu 12.04 running in a VirtualBox guest, and it's just decided not to load X, saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode", etc.00:28
Barnabasromy420, who came up with the idea of making the console vga ...00:28
romy420Barnabas .. idk, whatdo u mean?00:29
amageeIt then gives me four options: "Run in low graphics mode", "Configure graphics", "Troubleshoot this error", "Exit to console login"00:29
douglasfigured out my problem with my disks.. and I'd rather not say why it didn't work but I did find my answer.. :p00:29
romy420Neytiri, and then? graphical login ok?00:29
Barnabasromy420, the console itself is in graphics mode in ubuntu00:29
usr13_simplyska: Ok, too many acronyms....  What is gpt ?00:29
Barnabason newer versions00:29
Neytiriromy420 once it gets to the point of the graphical login it goes blank00:30
romy420yeah, but grub should work00:30
amagee"Reconfigure graphics" brings up two options, "Use default (generic) graphics", and "Use your backed-up configuration", but neither of these work00:30
amageethey just re-display the menu00:30
simplyskausr13_: It's the partition table of my disk00:30
usr13_simplyska: So you believe that the partition table is hosed?00:31
ScabbyMadmanso I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and  now my usb scanner does not work.... can anyone give a clue?00:31
romy420Neytiri .. that's bad. i guess it must be configured 1st, not sure how to do this, forgot the command00:31
romy420wait00:31
amagee"Exit to console login doesn't even work".. although I can get to a root console by holding shift when the machine boots and going into recovery mode00:31
usr13_simplyska: Does the grub boot loader appear at all?00:31
amagee*"Exit to console login" doesn't even work00:31
Barnabasamagee, because it is vga ..00:31
usr13_simplyska: Are you saying gpt in refering to MBR?00:32
amageeBarnabas: hmm?00:32
simplyskausr13_: it's a second hard disk used for data storage00:32
usr13_simplyska: What file system is on it?  How many partitions are on it?00:32
ScabbyMadmanHelp: I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04LTS and  now my usb scanner does not work.... can anyone give a clue?00:32
Barnabasnot all unix servers have a gpu at all - is my argument00:33
simplyskausr13_: It's hfsplus with only 1 partition00:33
usr13_simplyska: If it is a second HDD, why not just use the Ubuntu system it is installed in to try to correct file system errors?00:33
Barnabassome just a terminal00:33
Barnabasanother discussion00:33
usr13_simplyska: Ok... what is hfsplus ?00:34
simplyskausr13_: It's an Apple file system used in their Mac's00:35
Neytiriromy420: waht do i do?00:35
usr13_simplyska: Oh  HFS, well yes, indeed, use OSX to try and correct file system erros.00:36
usr13_simplyska: The bottom line is, that it is always best to correct filesystem errors from the platform of origin.00:37

nja@jackarg what are you trying to do?03:17

mwallacesdHi, is there anyone using easyMp3Gain a GTK GUI for Mp3Gain with Ubuntu 12.04??? I have a incident with this app, it works in command line perfectly but the GTK interface does not work properly it opens but when I tried to open a directory it freeze the current window an I cannot do anything, In fact I have to kill the process, any Idea to fix that?03:28
W4spPlease can you let me know what the window behaviour is called that slowly follwoes the mouse when windows are being moved? It looks like the window that's about to move follows slowly the mouse pointer. I want to switch it off and don't know how it is called.03:30
W4spThe effect is in Unity and is on by default for this xsession.03:33

gypsyok soo i ran an ftp for a buddy to send me docs on power generation and since then my external usb teb is locked as root only access and i can not change it03:39
gypsysadly it is still formatted for NTFS (as i used to do winblows tech support)03:39
gypsywhen i go in as root in the gui on isadora xfce it doesnt let me change it03:40
gypsyi tried using chown /mnt/sdc1 in terminal and it seems like it works but then i goto check it in the gui and its no good03:40
gypsyi just want it to be un owned and freely accessable03:40
gypsysee when i was setting up the ftp i accidentally made a group1" thinking it was for the ftp03:41
passcodgypsy: what are the permission like on that disk? a listing of ls -shal /mnt/sdc1 could do (anonymised if need me)03:42
biggamer11hello03:44
gypsysome how every single file and dir got taken over by root03:44

passcodgypsy: right, so I guess you should run sudo chown -vR `whoami`:everyone /mnt/sdc1 and see how that goes :)03:45
gypsychown: invalid group: `root:everyone'03:47
gypsyidfk what the default group was for isadora either ^^;03:47
gypsyhence why i normally take notes....because there is a lto to remember with nix03:48
gypsybut this was a fluke thing and stuff was fine till i used proftpd03:48
passcodoh yeah, sorry, not `whoami` when running sudo, my bad03:48
passcodjust put your username in there, and put your username as the group, too.03:49
passcodit should be okay for a start, then you'll at least be able to use the GUI03:49
gypsydamn!03:50
gypsyit just said it changed everything.....03:51
gypsythen i check in gui and still root03:51
gypsyin the gui it acts like its changing then switches back03:51
gypsyi didnt use encrption or anything either so im kinda baffled03:52
motherbrainis there any tools for automatic build other then autotools or cmake . Or are those the standard ways of doing/ building make/configuration files automatically03:52
motherbrainjust curious if that is the de facto standard03:52
gypsyidk how would i find that out?03:53
motherbrainfor c / c++03:53
passcodgypsy: ok then there's something very wrong with your system. if your gui is actually changing permissions without permission I dunno what to do.03:53
gypsyi did need to install gcc to the internal ssd at one point.....03:53
gypsywell it was fine till i used proftpd03:53
agentgasmaskHi all. I just installed ircd-irc2 and am looking for a way to setup nickserv/chanserv on it. Do I need to install another package?03:54

romy420motherbrain: still trying to compile? most source packets have a README or even an INSTALL file coming with them. these tell u how to proceed to compile the the software03:55
motherbrainyes I used that it works03:56
gypsyok.....so i killed everything i thought was connected to the drive.......now it tells me chown: cannot access `/mnt/sdc1': Transport endpoint is not connected03:57
gypsyso udisk is not USB03:57
romy420because the procedure depends on the sources u have03:58
gypsydude and im logged in as root in my terminal04:00
gypsyand its just not taking04:00
passcodmotherbrain: to answer your original question: yes, make is pretty much the standard. There's a few projects running off on custom shell scripts and I swear I even saw one using PHP, but make is what's really used. For C/C++04:00
gypsyis there another path i can try?04:01
passcodgypsy: have you tried un-mounting and re-mounting it again?04:01
gypsy-.-* yes......04:01

JeremyAWell I just had something VERY strange and scary happen. I opened aptitude on my 12.04 LTS Server install, press U to update the cache, then selected the Upgradable Packages and Security Updates category and hit Go.04:09
JeremyAI came back a little later, hit enter and was surprised to see the Updates/Upgrades categories still had packages04:10
JeremyASo I selected them again and hit Go04:10
JeremyAThis time the procedure immediately failed with a dpkg error about removing sudo being forbidden. I then went back and saw that the removal list had sudo in it for some reason.04:10
JeremyAI opened up /var/log/aptitude and I now see that aptitude just removed about 200 packages seemingly at random, deeming them unused.04:11
JeremyAThis includes packages like 'time'04:11
jribJeremyA: umm, are you using multi-arch?04:12
JeremyAHere are the sections of the log from the two procedures I ran04:12

jribJeremyA: yes/no?04:14
JeremyAjrib: The install is 64-bit04:14
JeremyAI have some 32-bit programs installed, so at one point I did install some 32-bit libraries04:14
jribJeremyA: did you install 12.04 fresh?  What's in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch?04:15
JeremyAjrib: I did a dist-upgrade from 11.04 if I remember correctly04:15
JeremyAThe file contains "foreign-architecture i386"04:15
JeremyAand that's it04:15
jribJeremyA: if you read release notes for 12.04 (and I believe this has existed for previous releases as well), aptitude is broken with multi-arch.  So you shouldn't use it if you are using multi-arch (which it seems you are)04:16
JeremyAIs multi-arch a package?04:16
jribJeremyA: no, multi-arch allows you to install packages of different architectures. For example, installing i386 packages on an amd64 system04:17

SaikiI have an UBUNTU-SPECIFIC tomcat6 issue. I was lookign at the directories and I noticed 2 tombat conf folders: /etc/tomcat6/ and usr/share/tomcat6/skel/conf  which one is actually controlling tomcat?04:19
jribSaiki: my guess is the first since the second one contains the word "skel" but I don't know.04:19
Saikijrib: what is "skel" supposed to actually mean?04:20
jribSaiki: skeleton, like a base04:20
JeremyAjrib: My thought was to parse that log and run the list of packages through apt-get install. Is there any reason why that wouldn't work?04:20

matti_zh: thanks, i decided to forgo mailutils altogether and use ssmtp which doesn't have dependencies06:25
matti_still baffles me that a so-called mailutils will require the installation of an entire mail server06:26
L3topmatti_: what are you trying to do? I mean... you do realize that without depends it isn't going to likely do what it is meant...06:26
matti_L3top: i just wanted to send mail from the command line06:26
matti_originally i was going to install mailutils, but it had a dependency of postfix06:26
L3topDependencies tend to exist for a reason.06:26
L3topand why do you not wish to have the dependency?06:27
matti_im sure there are valid reasons for the dependency06:27
matti_but id argue a package for "utils" should not require the installation of an entire server06:28
matti_that belies the very purpose of utils06:28
L3topUtils tends to be utility extras for a specific application... so... I would always expect it to download the intended package as a depend06:28
L3topeg alsa-utils is fairly useless without alsa-base06:29
matti_i think postfix-utils would be a perfectly suitable name then06:29
zykotick9L3top: nice example06:29

ubottuGuest89606: LFS is Linux From Scratch (www.linuxfromscratch.org) - not to be confused with !LTS, which is the long term support release of Ubuntu (currently 6.06, 8.04 and 10.04)06:31
matti_L3top: the mailutils example, to me, is just completely confounding.  a lot of people that run servers may prefer minimal setup, but not only does the simpler package depend on the much large package, it's also a dependent on a very specific implementation.  if someone were running exim, they'd have to either install the postfix as well or just not install a so-called mailutils package altogether.06:36
=== superciliousdude is now known as supercilious
matti_mail is so commonplace today that i dont know how to someone could get away with calling their package mailutils and have it depend on postfix.  perhaps there is some history there that im missing.06:39

ero-jijiok,heres my issue.tried everything i could think of on my ownbut been using ubuntu less than a week>< 12.04 lts 64 bit desktop clean install + package updates, installed pure-ftpd, installed pureadmin, ran pureadmin, let it create the files, restarted pureftpd. created a user account via pureadmin. when i go to log in with the ftp client, everything goes good till password, then i get a 530 auth failed (verified passwords are the same, even08:27
carli2Xabster: you can change the password of a linux system with a live cd08:27
bekksErwyn: Not true.08:27
Erwynbekks: oh… sorry08:28
Xabsternow that i'm reinstalling i was wondering if there are known problems with virtualbox and 64 bit version?08:28
Xabsteris 32 bit safer? it's recommended on site08:28
bekksXabster: It's not "safer" in any means.08:28
ErwynXabster: dunno, I personnaly only use 64 without problems08:28
Xabsteri mean safer as in less problems08:28
canurabushi. how can i set up wireless on 12.04 ithout a direct network connection?08:28
bekksNo, there no problems with vbox and 64bit.08:29
Xabsterlike, smooth try out08:29
arethi08:29
Erwynbekks: how to change the password though? and where is the security if such a thing is possible08:29
aretHey I am confused between Linux Os and Linux server. What is th difference between the two???08:30
bekksErwyn: Insert a livecd/USB Stick, boot it, change your password.08:30
Erwynaret: none08:30
ero-jijiserver doesnt have the gui desktop08:30
Erwynaret: only packes selection08:30
Erwynpackages08:30
llutz_Erwyn: if you allow to boot your machine from foreign media (dvd/usb/cd), you always have security issues08:30
bekksErwyn: By design, there is NO security when someone has physical access to your computer - like yourself.08:30
aretErwyn: Whic is better??08:30
Xabsterwhat if a homefolder is encrypted?!08:31
aretErwyn: Which is better??08:31
Erwynaret: what do you want to do?08:31
Xabstercan you still just change the password with a livecd and that's it?!08:31
bekksaret: There is no "better".08:31
bekksXabster: Sure.08:31
aretbekks: I want to learn linux08:31
aretbekks: Erwyn :I want to learn Os08:31
ero-jijiif you dont need a gui enviornment, the server build uses slightly less resources than the desktop build with the gui08:31
Xabsterthat seems so madly idiotic08:32
bekksaret: Then install Ubuntu Desktop :)08:32
ErwynXabster: yes but your home folder will remain encrypted08:32
ero-jijiother than that they are the same08:32

Erwynero-jiji: go to a chan about pureftpd08:33
aretErwyn: bekks Xabster :What does a server do ?? Ubuntu server08:33
bekksErwyn: By creating a chroot environment, and changing your password using passwd.08:33
sledgesIn a VirtualBox, I was upgrading 11.10 to 12.04 and tried to take a screenshot of "Keep or revert sudoers file" dialog window. After that the whole screen froze, and it does not respond to any mouse clicks. Still can SSH into it though.. is my dist upgrade borked?08:33
bekksaret: A server provides services to other computers.08:34

bekksero-jiji: I'd use vsftpd anyways, since pureftpd had severe security problems in the past.08:36
T0byHi, I'm starting to go insane. I am unable to share my internet connection from my 12.04 box to my Mac (10.4.11). I have a 3G dongle connected to the Ubuntu box, a ethernet cable connecting it to the Mac, and I can ping, but no browse. However, if I remove the dongle and tether my phone to the ubuntu box, all works fine. I tried random changes to the MTU without much success. Any idea?08:37
ero-jiji(bekks): thanks for the reccomendation. i have a cheap dedi i picked up to learn on, and am going to do a basic lamp install + ftp.08:38
Erwynbekks: I'm just shocked08:39
Erwynbekks: that just mean thant anybody can go root on the machine08:39
bekksero-jiji: Then dont use graphical tools, since they dont tell you what they are doing and they dont tell you which config files they are changing.08:39
ero-jijicould you reccomend a guide/ support channel for vsftpd?08:39
bekksErwyn: Having physical access, yes.08:39
Erwynbekks: so, even with an encrypted folder: everything is decrypted………08:40
bekksErwyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html08:40
ero-jijionly reason i went with pureftp was the gui, since the only ftp servers ive set up have been windows based gui ones08:40
bekksErwyn: Not without knowing the encryption password.08:40
bekksero-jiji: Linux is not Windows ;)08:41
Erwynbekks: i mean encrypted home folder managed by ubuntu08:41
KartagisXabster: are you there?08:41
ero-jijiawesome, ill remove pureftp and give that a shot08:41
bekksErwyn: Still you have to have the encryption password.08:41
XabsterKartagis?08:41
KartagisXabster: what is the character after ^ ?08:41
ero-jijiaye, thats why i wanted to learn =308:41
Xabster108:41
Erwynbekks: oh okay… it will ask for when reloggin?08:42
ero-jijion the dedi if i screw something up horribly, i can 1 click reinstall the os from the manager =308:42
KartagisXabster: okay, try ^<space>108:42
XabsterKartagis: i did08:42
Xabsteralso tried making 2 ^^ with the virtual keyboard and delete one08:42
bekksErwyn: It will (like before) ask you for the password for decryption.08:42
Erwynbekks: nono when ercrypted home folder, it doesn't ask for such password at login08:43
Erwynonly the session password08:43
Erwynand at first boot, it gives you a password to access out of ubuntu08:44
bekksErwyn: which is the same password (by default) like the decryption password. After changing the session password as described above, obviously both passwords will differ.08:44
Erwynbekks: mhhhh08:51
Erwynhowever i'm still shocked08:51
Erwynmy nephew could hack my computer08:51
bekksErwyn: Thats why the first step in security is to regulate physical access ;)08:52
zhPhysical access is total access.08:52
llutz_Erwyn: now you know one reason why data-centers are restricted areas08:52
Erwynllutz_: zh : bekks : I know, but I thought it might be a bit more difficult08:54
theadminErwyn: Eh, you know, when someone has physical access to the system they can as well rip the drive out08:55

Joshua_MGhi all. I have an library written in C++ with a python wrapper writing in boostpython. My setup.py runs nicely, but I have to preinstall boost, and others C++ libraries. I'm thinking in manage the instalation of those libraries by creating an ubunto package, which would install those libraries and then install my python (running it's setup.py). Is it a good Idea?09:04

mang0Hey everyone. I've been having a huge problem with my BCM4306 rev2 card recently. It's always been a bit of a trouble with Linux, but installing b43-fwcutter and the legacy driver has done the trick in the past. However, I recently updated from a 32-bit OS (Ubuntu) to a 64-bit version. Since then, my card hasn't worked at all, regardless of what drivers I installed. It seems to scan and pick up networks ok, but refused to connect to them; dmesg says [  909:08

Auzy@ ero-jiji.. It may be worth grabbing a unix scripting book and learning it.. It is handy to know terminal, but imho, it isn't as efficient as people claim.. GUI's expose functionality better, and I have even seen experienced Linux users  googling commands sometimes (which are immediately accessible in GUI). You should install Linux on your home computer, and learn CLI slowly.. Something like ISPConfig will help ease you into lea09:10
Auzyrning bash shell (but, it may be worth reading a book too, as the commands aren't that hard for the most commonly used ones)09:10

AuzyOtherwise, imho, it gets too frustrating09:11

theadminkristenbb: Theoretically you can ignore it (it's nothing serious), but if you want to fix it, go to the "Software Sources" thing and look for duplicate entries, then remove one of the dups09:19
kristenbbcan I not do it from command line?09:19

kristenbbso can I just cat all of them, and use uniq to filter duplicates ?09:36
kristenbbhow to do that09:36

theadminkristenbb: Well, you can use "cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq", but that will produce output that's suitable for one file... I guess you can then paste that into /etc/apt/sources.list and remove any files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/09:39

MacroManWhen I ssh onto another machine, is it possible to carry my command aliases over so they work remotely?09:49
djshotglasstheadmin: what about the /etc/rc.conf and rc.d equivs09:50
MacroManFor instance I havr ls mapped to ls -la and it's quite annoying when I suddenly don't have that anymore09:50
theadmindjshotglass: As for services: to disable, rename the .conf file under /etc/init/ so that it no longer ends in ".conf" (e.g. change ".conf" to ".disabled"), to stop, use "sudo service something stop"09:50

hydrox24well, really I wanted to know what files under /etc/cups or the like need to be transferred to get my old configuration back up and running.10:30
exarkunHow do I switch between applications on different desktops in Unity in 12.04?10:30
MonkeyDusthydrox24  transfer from where to where? not sure what you mean by 'transfer'10:30
hydrox24well, you know how you can transfer, for instance, a vim config by copying the files (.vim/* and .vimrc) into your new installs' home dir from the old one?10:32
hydrox24well, I would like to do this with the printer configuration, and was hoping someone could point me in the right dir.10:32
MonkeyDusthydrox24  do you have backups from your old system?10:32
hydrox24Absolutely.10:33
bekkshydrox24: So you have two boxes then?10:33
MonkeyDusthydrox24  ok, on a different drive or partition?10:33
hydrox24I have an image I made with clonezilla mounted in /mnt10:34
hydrox24on a seperate box I can copy stuff to and from via ssh.10:34

hydrox24I quote: "Hi guys, can you tell me what files I need to transfer to transfer my printer configuration in 11.10 to 12.10?"10:36

MonkeyDusthydrox24  cloneszilla and image are not in that question10:37
audrianoreHello10:37
hydrox24Fair enough, my apologies for not being clear enough. Are you able to tell me what the key files are though?10:38

animus123please help??????11:41
admin_okay, and thanks11:41
pozicadmin_: that was for you.11:41
njaxxThe-web-fox: That card is not supported in 12.04.  Are you using 12.04?  Your best off just flushing out that NVidia driver and going for the generic driver - or get a new GFX card.11:41

ThePendulumpozic: The machine isn't connected to a keyboard and a screen and that isn't an option either, I presume?11:41
pozicThe-web-fox: if you want longevity, buy an AMD card.11:42
pozicThe-web-fox: because by the time it's not supported anymore, there is a decent open-source driver.11:42
animus123anybody know,the downloader for ubuntu?11:42
pozicThePendulum: it's an option, but like I said I need to walk quite a bit of distance to do that.11:42

The-web-foxno, bye a new pc!!!!!11:43
MonkeyDustanimus123  software center11:43
pozicThePendulum: for longevity.11:43
ThePendulumpozic: If there's no other option...11:43
animus123MonkeyDust:but the name of downloader?11:43
ThePendulumpozic: Half the AMD cards (the drivers) don't even work properly on Ubuntu/Linux11:43
MonkeyDustanimus123  'the downloader'?11:44
ThePendulumFar less issues with the Nvidia drivers, although Linus seems to disagree11:44
MonkeyDustanimus123  to download what, exactly?11:44
admin_well, the reason why i want to update my BIOS is to make it support booting from SD card, is there other way to do that11:45
ThePendulumDoes anyone know how to make the Pidgin contact list pop-up after it has disappeared?11:45
njaxxSupported NVidia cards can be purchased for about £30 in the UK - thats really not that much if you don't care about that latest and greatest shiny card.11:45
animus123MonkeyDust:any file!!11:45
ThePendulumnjaxx: 30 bucks cards don't really add much to the onboard gpu though11:46
njaxxadmin_: SATA to CF or SD adapter?11:46
MonkeyDustnjaxx  'not that much' depends on how much you can afford ;)11:46
ChorinHi there11:47
pozicThePendulum: what is it? The cards or the drivers?11:47
admin_njaxx : i will google that11:47
pozicThePendulum: what doesn't work according to you?11:47
pozicThePendulum: and: do you own one yourself?11:47
njaxxThePendulum: It would be considerably more powerful than that FX5200 NVidia series card Web fox is using.11:47
surmaHey everybody. I got a problem with the ubuntu cloud image. Is this the right channel to ask my question?11:47
Chorindammit I knew I should have just asked my question LOL11:47
admin_oh, sorry.. i get it now - it's an memory SD card :)11:48
ChorinIf anyone wants to put their hand up to help me get a USB 802.11n adapter working I'd really appreciate it11:48
The-web-foxHow do I remove the nvidia driver , and install the open source one? the default one11:48
ThePendulumpozic: To get them properly installed usually requires the terminal to be utilized, and even then you have to fiddle with things like 'ignore graphical settings' in Chromium etc.11:48
MonkeyDustanimus123  the way you download a file, depends on how it is presented to you11:48
njaxxThe-web-fox:  How about just renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooting?  If you have an issue, rename it back?  That should clear out your card settings and revert you back to generic.11:49
animus123MonkeyDust:do you know Orbit downloader?11:49
admin_njaxx : it's memory SD card11:50
The-web-foxok11:50
MonkeyDustanimus123  start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what goes wrong11:50
animus123MonkeyDust:well!!as you wish.i need a download manager for ubuntu!11:51
pozicThePendulum: the most important reason why AMD cards don't appear to work is Ubuntu lagging enormously.11:51
pozicThePendulum: it doesn't even have the 12.6 driver, right?11:51
admin_njaxx : i put an ISO on that SD card, and now i want to boot from it11:51
njaxxadmin_:  I have not tried an SD card but I have an ATA to CF adapter and that works fine - I would assume SD can be addressed in the same way with a ATA or SATA to SD adapter?11:51
animus123MonkeyDust:but i don't know any!11:51

=== ninjak_ is now known as ninjak

njaxxadmin_: Just google SATA to SD adapter. There are loads of them for quite cheap costs. The SD card wil appear as a standard SATA drive in your BIOS. However, be aware SD has limited writes so for data use a traditional drive or a solid state designed for this purpose. The SD should be fine for an OS boot partition.11:55
pozicThePendulum: no, it's not.11:56
ThePendulumpozic: How do you know and what do you think it is?11:56
pozicThePendulum: the driver version starts with the year in which it was released - 2000.11:56

admin_njaxx : i was testing the SD to USB kit on the VMware and it work for me, i assume it will work for real :)12:02
pozicThePendulum: who cares where someone is from?12:02
njaxxThePendulum: In my experience, NVidia cards seem to be fine to setup as long as you have a supported card in both the driver and OS. Everything just seems to work.  NVidia fall down with their quiet poor open source support, they are quite closed and you only get the drivers they want you to have.12:02
pozicThePendulum: I am not a native speaker either.12:03
pozicThePendulum: and, more importantly: I am not trying to be a smartass.12:03
ThePendulumpozic: You don't blame someone for his language skills if it's not his/her native language, no matter if you're not a native speaker yourself12:03
njaxxadmin_: Yes for real it will be quite slick.  I built a workstation with no moving parts once using a similar method.12:03
pozicThePendulum: I only blame smartasses.12:04
ThePendulumpozic: I understand and respect that, but if you're not trying to be a smartass, please don't sound like one12:04
pozicThePendulum: I only give in return the behaviour that was given to me.12:04
ThePendulumpozic: The fact that you disagree with my driver version yet can't prove me wrong because that's just too lame for you says something12:04
pozicThePendulum: no, it just shows you are stupid.12:04
Sidewinder1ThePendulum, pozic , Shall we move on?.. ;)12:04

gribouillewhat does "Reserved block count" mean for a file system?12:24
gribouillewhat are the "Reserved blocks" used for?12:24
bekksgribouille: That that amount of blocks is reserved for root usage only.12:25
ThePendulumI wonder why the CCC can't just display this information12:25

bekksgribouille: The benefit is, nobody besides root can fill up the filesystem to 0 inodes left, which makees it impossible to delete things again.12:25

TimothyAjust logging in with ssh works, just not sftp12:28

rajumohnjaxx, gribouille, bekks : any repercussions on changing number of reserved blocks ?12:38
gribouillemy file system is stored in a file and mounted with the -o loop option. the file size is 24G. I used resize2fs to allow the file system to use the whole file. why does df report that the file system size is only 22G?12:38
bekksAlopex: You have to purge, and you have to manually remove the datafiles afterwards.12:38
bekksrajumoh: I am using 0.1% for reserved blocks :)12:38
Alopexbekks: Okey thank you!12:39
njaxxrajumoh: I would probably not let it go less than 100MB of reserved space..... so 1 percent of 22GB should be fine.12:39
njaxxgribouille: The discrepancy was caused by reserved space.12:41
bekksnjaxx: Impossible :)12:41
sstagribouille: they're the blocks reserved for root owned files.  Basically it's so that a user can't fill the disk and so take the system down12:42
sstahmm, mega jumplag...12:42
njaxxssta: Good answer - wish I could explain it that clearly!12:42
Alopexjust one more quiz, about postgres, where should be the data files? i checked .postgresql/9.1/ and it was empty already...12:42
gribouillenjaxx, ssta : does the 'Size' of df output include the reserved size?12:42
bekksgribouille: It is the overall size.12:43
njaxxgribouille: It already has reserved space deducted from the percent free.  Hence why 100% full even though you appeared to have 2GB free.12:43
bekksBut the root reserve is 5% by default, not 10%...12:44
njaxxbekks: Unless someone had altered it on that system previously?12:45
sstait's not uncommon for some admins to reserve more space on / than 5%.  Especially if /tmp is on /12:45

bvleurHi. My ubuntu server is showing a 100% CPU load for the "/sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" process. What should I do?12:49
bvleurRebooting does not help12:49
njaxxrajumoh: Thats the first I have heard about that. Reserved space is purely to keep the file system up in case a user fills the disk.12:49
njaxxgribouille: Try calculating in blocks, not GiB or GB.  You might be seeing a rounding issue.12:50
rajumohnjaxx: ok .will have to check my reference :-( .12:50
njaxxrajumoh: Its a bit like a DoS attack protection.  A user filling the disks to max could take them offline.... but you have reserved some space so that can't happen and the file system stays up even if a user tries to bring it down.12:51
geirhagribouille: df -H shows the size in GiB, the one saying 24G probably showed it in GB. 24 GB = 22.35 GiB12:51
geirhaerr, I mean 24.00 GB = 22.35 GiB12:52
JoniiAnyone know if I could, on my laptop, get f1-f12-keys perform their fn-function(say, fn+f11 is to make system volume go down), without pressing fn key(so I can just press f11 to make volume go down)12:52

Blazemore|WorkPostfix https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html13:14
llvllatrixI have a story I'd like to share, along with a warning. Getting Ubuntu fully functional on a Macbook Pro is painful...13:14
Blazemore|WorkWhat didn't work llvllatrix ?13:15
llvllatrixI decided to format my Macbook Pro at work with Linux and call the new computer glados. My server virtual machine was named space-module and for kicks, my windows machine was called wheatley.13:15
llvllatrixNot even 48 hours after the install, glados goes insane when I try to install the proper Nvidia drivers for graphics and takes out the entire system, less recovery mode. I backup space-module and wheatley to one of several hard disks and try for recovery.13:15
llvllatrixAbout half a day into recovery I diagnose glados as a lost cause, reach for my new Ubuntu cd and reassemble the system. Then I try to boot into wheatley and space-module only to find that they're unbootable.13:15
llvllatrixI decide screw it, I'm booting them from scratch to, and delete wheatley and space-core only to realise that the only problem was that the files were read only...and I've misplaced the hard drive they're on. So they're lost in space somewhere and glados is fully operational...13:15
=== sins-_n is now known as sins-
llvllatrixI'm now rebuilding wheatley and space-core and I'm sticking with the old names on principle; I'm a rational person and these names shouldn't make the computers misbehave...but glados, if you decide to pull more shit, I'm swapping your battery with a potato.13:15
tkinghello guys, i hv a text file somewhere in drive how can i find all files containing the word "James" uses grep or any command to do it?13:15
xcervollvllatrix: your're writing too fast13:16
judg3Writing extremely fast.13:16
llvllatrixBlazemore: I'm fairly certain it's an EFI issue, but at this point I don't really care. Booting with stock Ubuntu 12.04 gives me a fairly stable X, minus the Nvidia drivers.13:17
rajumohtking: grep -R "James" *13:17
Blazemore|Worktking: grep -r "texthere" /path/to/directory13:17

geirhatking: ^ will search recursively from the directory you're currently in13:18

audrianoreI can't change my MAC address.14:24
subz3r0audrianore, dunno why you want to do that. there is no reason to do that in normal cicrumstances...^^ anyway.. the driver doesnt "like" it14:25
dayviolinappren: well ok you could call it rolling for a while :P14:25
=== sun is now known as Guest1513
violinapprenday: not its not, it's a relatively stable rolling release version of debian14:25
auronandaceaudrianore: a mac address isn't meant to be changed14:25
ndeeanyone knows a quicker image resizer than imagemagick? (for the console)14:25

audrianoreauronandace, yes I know. I was un-carefully changing it, but it always return errors.14:26
audrianoreLuceo, I'm using that one.14:27
Luceoaudrianore: You have to bring ip link down before changing it14:27
dayviolinappren: if i install testing? does it stay testing forever? i thought at one point it gets freezed _> stable. or does my installation stay testing forever?14:27
subz3r0audrianore, like i mentioned before. The Driver does not like it14:27
azulsoljah_whow can i get the list of pending updates? 'apt-get update' doesn't list them14:27

It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/15:46

shark_muttlewortbigsky: Your question is a little vague. The software comprising Ubuntu is written by engineers of many companies and individuals working for their own benefit. Most of the software is packaged by the Debian project. Canonical do a little configuration and packaging of their own, and write a few smaller pieces of software15:47

ubottuUbuntu 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".

mrFrogjrib: i've added a way to log a message to a "log" file. i have it run at the beginning of the script (before it does anything useful). if i run the command manually, the message appears in the log file. however if i wait until cron has supposedly run the command, there is nothing logged. so i don't know how to debug past this since it doesn't seem like it's as much a problem with it as a script rather than a problem with how it's being r16:50

zelrikhi17:22
carl1bekks Well.. I would like to read documentation about those17:22
zelrikIf I run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop in a recovery console, it stops my screens17:22
bekksCoffee321: The lspci -k command just shows you whats found, and the driver that is loaded for that particular piece of hardware.17:22
JoniiHey, how do I know if my Ubuntu 12.04 has TRIM enabled?17:23
bekksCoffee321: So which graphics card do you have, and which module is loaded for it?17:23
zelrikI cant do ctrl+alt+fX either17:23
zelrikthat stops my screens17:23
JessicaWCoffee321: also, if you can see the screen at all, ubuntu is detecting it. it just probably has the wrong driver.17:23
giteshI am having Ubuntu-server 12.04. How do I connect Internet using my username & password in Server ?17:23
bekksJonii: By looking at the mount options in "mount". Seeing "discard" there, it is enabled.17:23
Coffee321My computer has - VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)17:24
treaverI need someone's help badly17:24
bekksCoffee321: And lspci -k also tells you which module is loaded for that hardware.17:24
JessicaWgitesh: could you explain further? there is not enough information to answer that question. what is the user/password for? wireless or ppp?17:24
bekks!ask | treaver17:24
ubottutreaver: 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 !patience17:24

giteshJessicaW, I have wired connction, maybe dsl. not wireless.17:25
bekksCoffee321: So basically, X will use the "i915" driver.17:25
Joniibekks: how do I look mount options in "mount"?17:25
treaverOk this is what happened. I installed the drivers I was looking for my wireless router sucessfully then I was following a tutorial to edit grub to make the resolution start screen not come up cause it kept saying "Rosolution doesn't fit" or something. So I saved it and restarted computer17:26
bekksJonii: by typing "mount" and pressing enter.17:26
Coffee321kyle_: I have desktop Operational17:26
kyle__Jonii: Did anyone answer you?  If you use ext4 it's simply a matter of the right flags in fstab.17:26

kyle__zelrik: Sorry too much going on, can't scroll back and find it.17:26
treaverIs there a way to enter terminal from the start?17:26

treaverCould someone help?17:27
Coffee321bekks: yes my concern is - Do I need to, tinker with my graphics or should I just leave it alone.17:27
kyle__zelrik: Ahhh.  And ctrl+alt+f1 is giving you  no console, because the driver you're using screwes it up.  I had that happen with a via-unichrome chipset before.  Either ssh in, or interrupt grub and tell it single (single user mode), that's command line.17:27
JessicaW|Anthony|: of course. 10.04 is a LTS release.17:27

AdvocatedHi there, ive got a weird problem with openoffice in ubuntu, i've got formulas which depend on other cells, which is showing a result, the problem is when I change the value in one of the cells(that should affect another) its not changing..17:55
kyle__indigofera: No, not at all.  The PAE kernel gives a constant 5-15% performance hit, because of all the tricks it does to use more than 4GB of memory on a 32bit system.17:56
indigoferaAdvocated: whats the formula17:56
kyle__indigofera: How much memory do you have?17:56
indigoferakyle_ how do i check - i think is over 4 megs17:56
kyle__Gigs.17:56
Advocatedindigofera, simply =D41*D42   d42 is currently 1.2  but if i change to 6, it doesnt change the result17:56
indigoferamy question was will a 43 bit pae system be the same as a 64 bit system17:56
kyle__indigofera: free, or top should tell you17:56
indigofera4 gigs17:57
indigoferaAdvocated: try =sum(d41*d42) , if that does not work let me know17:57
yesihi17:57
kyle__indigofera: Then you could use 32bit just fine, or 64bit.  I don't think the issue you're experiencing has anything to do with 32vs64 however.17:57
Advocatedindigofera, same problem unfortunately :S17:58

Amy_njaxx, I've been trying to fix it myself, and have read that 12.04 is much better18:59
bekksAmy_: So which network adapter model did you setup in the settings of your vm?19:00
Amy_I've tried fixing it through root, blah19:00
Amy_I'm not sure, bekks19:01
njaxxAmy_: If I was you, first thing I would do is get 12.04 and start from there. Secondly, what do you see in ifconfig -a19:01
bekksAmy_: Then check that setting. Using VMXNET3, it wont work.19:01
alkisgI googled a bit on how to use `live-boot` to build a precise live CD, but I could only get it working up to booting gfxboot+casper, the rest of the packages aren't there (iso is only 200mb). Any how-to's for live-building precise?19:02

zetheroohow do you get more wallpapers to be added to the "Wallpapers" section in the Appearance settings dialog19:04
kaustubh<amy> no you cant19:04
trismzetheroo: the wallpapers section is controlled by the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ and ~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/ (for user wallpaper sets) [repost]19:04
njaxxAmy_: just interested in interface name and IP19:04

trismzetheroo: neither, you can add your own19:08

b636bc7caI have a process that I want to run as a service; however, I need a specific command run at 'stop' in order to insure a clean shut-down. I know I can use the 'exec' stanza to write the command for 'start', but I don't see any way to specify the command for 'stop'?19:08
zetherootrism: but it looks like each and every wallpaper has a section to itself in the xml file ... is there any way to automatically generate this or do you have to write it out manually?19:09
trismzetheroo: just copy the ubuntu-wallpapers.xml one and add your own <wallpaper> entries (you only need the <name> and <filename> subtags, maybe <options>zoom</options> too)19:09
zetherootrism: I have around 50 wallpapers .. that is going to take way too long ... is this really the only way to do it? It used to work so much better in past releases of Ubuntu ... :P19:10
trismzetheroo: you could automatically generate it, I don't know how to the packages do it, but you could try: apt-get source ubuntu-wallpapers; and take a look, might have scripts19:10
njaxxb636bc7ca: Cant you just call your binary from a script with a start and stop case statement?19:10
trismzetheroo: it would be pretty simple to write a python script or whatever to do it as well19:11

Greg_Bvnc on both ends?19:14
Jarrydx26Why is ubuntu so bad at my phone dont wana work as usb modem :(19:15
Greg_BI have seen the remote desktop application to allow connection19:15
Amy_njaxx: under the hardware tab in my vm properties for ubuntu, it says "network adapter 1: invalid backing"19:15
exutuxb636bc7ca: why not? stop on ...19:15
exutuxstop on stop another one19:15
b636bc7caexutux: That tells it which runlevels to stop on, it doesn't tell it the command to run?19:15
exutuxstop on shutdown?19:16
Greg_BOK, so VNC on both computers?19:16
b636bc7ca'stop on /event name/'19:16
exutuxfor example19:16
b636bc7caexutux: I need to run a specific command on stop so that the software shuts down cleanly19:16
b636bc7caOtherwise it will corrupt the datadir every time19:16
exutuxsto on runlevel 619:17
njaxxAmy_: u have a known VMWare issue - I'm just looking up the answer on VMWARE.19:17
exutuxstop on runlevel 0 ando so on19:17
b636bc7caexutux: I need to say "stop on runlevel 6 /foo/special/command -with -args"19:17
Amy_njaxx: thank you so much. i've been pulling my hair out looking for answers on there19:17
b636bc7caBut upstart gives me errors when I do that19:17
njaxxAmy_: You need to assign permissions to the virtual switch - check that.19:18
njaxxAmy_: Virtua switch in VMWare I mean.19:18
exutuxstop on runlevel 619:18
exutuxexec yourscript19:18
njaxxAmy_: check Inventory->Networking. You may have forgotten to assign them permissions to the switch.19:19
MrokiiHello. Is there a way to change the shortcut for the host-key used in VirtualBox manually (by editing a configuration file)? The reason I ask is that I have no menus or a status bar in VirtualBox and the supposed host-key (Right Ctrl) doesn't do anything.19:19
njaxxAmy_: If you don't have permissions to change the VMswitch config in VMWare, I would recommend you speak to whoever manages that VMHost.19:20
Amy_njaxx: i don't have permissions19:20
Amy_njaxx: thank you very much for the help anyway!19:21
b636bc7caexutux: With "stop on [^2345] exec su -s /bin/sh -c 'exec "$0" "$@"' procotor -- /home/procotor/bin/padmin shutdown d1 safe" - when I run "start proctor", it starts and then immediately shuts down19:21
b636bc7caexutux: The 2nd "exec" does not appear to know it's only supposed to run on stop19:21
b636bc7caAll 'exec' commands appear to be run on the 'start' action19:21
njaxxAmy_: No problem, as soon as you get your virtual environment sorted, boot Ubuntu again and we can take it from there. Basically your Virtual Ubuntu does not have a working NIC at the moment.19:21
Amy_:njaxx thanks :)19:22

Greg_BIs there a complete manual for controling one ubuntu computer from another, please?19:28
genii-aroundpaulus68: Sounds like boot order in bios got changed19:28
exutuxbtw you have to create a event for the command so after stop on runlevel 6 ; exec command and an event post-stop or pre-stop19:28
paulus68genii-around: how can I check this?19:29
exutuxb636bc7ca: upstart is a bit freaky19:29
genii-aroundpaulus68: To look in bios and see what order they are listed in there. But at any rate if you use UUIDs in fstab, should it matter much their /dev designations?19:30

genii-aroundderpaliccious: Does ifconfig show it?19:31
genii-aroundpaulus68: Like I said, you should use UUID  in the fstab instead of the /dev/sdX# way, then it doesn't matter where they apear19:33
b636bc7caexutux: Based on section 4.4.2, it sounds like the only sane way to do this would be to modify my proctor process to install a SIGTERM handler and run its clean shutdown internally when it's tripped.19:33
b636bc7caThat's pretty dang ugly19:33
paulus68genii-around: and /media/personal shows identical info as dsa119:33
paulus68genii-around: sda119:33
b636bc7caSeems like a gaping oversight in the design of upstart that it doesn't have an 'execstop'19:33

genii-aroundpaulus68: sudo blkid19:34
=== morsnowski is now known as sudo_strip
genii-aroundpaulus68: I had a similar problem in 11.04 where the drives kept rotating from sda to sdb to sdc then back to sda again, using UUIDs prevented that19:35
genii-around( from affecting mounting )19:35
b636bc7caexutux: Hm - could I make a '/etc/init/proctor-stop.conf' and then set the 'start' event of *that* job as the 'stop' event of 'proctor'?19:36
paulus68genii-around: http://pastebin.ca/217498419:37
b636bc7caIt just seems so backwards - I've GOT to be missing something19:38
paulus68genii-around: where at this point sdb is identical to sda in the fstab19:38

From the output of just: mount    you can find which is mounted currently at for instance /media/wherever     then make an fstab entry for it, put as an option noauto if it's not always plugged in19:55

solarsanyone got an idea why suddenly, when watching flash videos in chrome I get huge cpu utilization and cannot do anything? there are some ComodoDNSExperiment processes blocking the whole system... latest ubuntu20:19
B0g4r7Because Flash is terrible.20:19
B0g4r7Would these be Youtube videos, that you meniton?20:20
hkaisbthatcher: take a look in syslog20:20
B0g4r7Youtube has an html5 player now, so you don't need Flash...20:20
solarsyoutube as well as vimeo etc20:20
hkaisthere should be a entry with *nm*20:20
solarsB0g4r7, does it use the html5 player automatically?20:21
B0g4r7It does for me, yes.20:21

bthatcherhkais: thanks, will d.20:22
bthatcherdo20:22
B0g4r7hkais, it probably does execute it, but it fails to do what you are expecting.  Probably because things like $PATH are not present when it gets run by cron.20:23
bthatcherIll check on the otrs20:23

bekksbipul: there is no sshd-generate on ubuntu.20:26
DasEiGeekAdmin: yes, on weak hardware I'd go up from minimal installer (netinstall~expertmode, or alternate-cd) and then use icewm or such, they are lighter20:26
bipulbekks, i am using very old version of ubuntu20:27
DasEiGeekAdmin: use a tool like htop to check your load , also look in syslog for other possible issue, specs of that box ?20:27
GeekAdminDasEi:  I tried installing with the alternate disc (xubuntu), but after it installed, it froze on startup.  I cant boot to an xubuntu disc live either20:27

Erwynhkais: did you installed the good packages?20:28
bekksbipul: which version?20:29
hkaisB0g4r7: okay that is the always working workaround. But I have no clue, when it gets executed, so I have to wait. Is there a way to debug cron?20:29
GeekAdminDasEi:  Thats for sugesting icewm. I'm gonna try it. Hopefully it wont freeze the whole sytem like installing xfce did20:30
bipul820:30
GeekAdmin*thanks20:30
Erwynhkais: you have to install vpnc and network-manager-vpnc-gnome20:30
DasEiGeekAdmin: you verified the installer cd as the live one ? most common are bad burns, or also try another live, like knoppix or such ?20:30
hkaisErwyn: what are the good packages?20:30

bwalker8981Hi, does anyone know how to get multiarch support in ubuntu 10.04?20:31

raynehello22:10
ThePendulumexutux: GRUB shouldn't be on that HDD at all22:10
ThePendulumexutux: I installed Ubuntu after Windows btw22:10
pbwubi basically creates an ubuntu desktop environment on your windows OS.22:10
exutuxThePendulum: yeah but your grub is isntalled on SDD22:11
ubuntuhelp_pb: k so when i uninstall wubi, and got ubuntu on disk. but still have windows 7 installed, i just install wubi via bootup process then it'll run side by side with windows 7?22:11
exutuxnot on the HDD22:11
exutuxso reinstall grub on HDD ( sda ) i suppose22:11
pbubuntuhelp_, you no longer require the need for wubi if you have the cd.22:11
taipreshttp://ubuntuforums.org/index.php why does the font look so horrible?22:12
ThePendulumexutux: It's supposed to be on the SSD because that's where Ubuntu is. Why would GRUB need to be present on the HDD?22:12
ubuntuhelp_pb; but that means everytime i boot i will need to have the cd in my drive right?22:12
pbubuntuhelp_, and yes. you can have ubuntu partition the drive automatically. its option #1 when installing.22:12
ThePendulumsda is the SSD with ubuntu22:12
pbubuntuhelp_, nope.22:12
RSvedmanActionPsrsnip : that video looks promising, THank you.22:12
pbubuntuhelp_, just the once. make sure to leave at least 1gb I think as a spacer.. for the switch over.22:13
exutuxThePendulum: because grub ( or all boot loaders ) need to install on the first HDD boot, on mbr22:13
ubuntuhelp_oh sweet :D so installing via cd vs wubi means system will be using less resources there for running quicker22:13
ThePendulumexutux: I still don't quite understand. The SSD is the first device to boot and the SSD has GRUB.22:14
pbubuntuhelp_, ubuntu requires at least 11gb of partition space. to run. good luck saving tons of stuff on it tho. id suggest more.22:14
ThePendulumGRUB needs to be on all devices that need to boot?22:14
exutuxThePendulum: nope22:14
exutuxThePendulum: ok if SDD is a first boot option it's ok22:14

ubuntuhelp_Thanks for helping everyone, very help and informative.22:15
ThePendulumexutux: I select 'ubuntu' which redirects to the SSD in some strange fashion, but it should be the SSD anyway22:15
exutuxbut in this case windows chainloader is different ( standard is cainloader 1 ) and grub check to pass boot for windows, at windows bootloader22:15
pbubuntuhelp_, its very user friendly..Im using it to introduce me to the world of linux OS.22:15
exutuxThePendulum: I'm talking about first boot on bios22:16
exutuxnot in grub menu22:16
pbubuntuhelp_, it sort of babys you along.22:16
ThePendulumexutux: The first boot is simply listed as "ubuntu", and I honestly don't know what exactly happens there. The Ubuntu that it loads is installed on the SSD, but booting directly from the SSD results in a device error. Something's completely messed up.22:16

vadi2I'm having issues setting up file sharing between two Ubuntu's. I tried using Samba, but the guest can't connect to the host - it just says "failed to mount windows share" after I select the share that's on the host. What can I do?22:35
usr13vadi2: nfs is what you want.22:35
goddardvadi2: why would you use samba for two linux boxes?22:36
vadi2I used it because it was easy to setup. There's an option in Nautilus right there to create it, and it applies permissions for you.22:36
usr13vadi2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo22:36
vadi2I don't mind what's used. Ok, I'll try that.22:36
Raydiationwhy not use samba22:36
brophatso i am upgrading to 12.04 and my download spead is around 50 kb/s is that any good?22:37
ThePendulumbrophat: That's pretty low22:37
Raydiationbrophat: try another mirror22:37
vadi2usr13: that looks rather complicated... sorry. "Providing you understand what you are doing" <- I don't22:37
usr13vadi2: If you also want to share with MS Windows systems, yes, by all means use samba, but between two Ubuntu systems, nfs is the way to go for sure.22:37
vadi2There's no Windows involved.22:37
Raydiationi dont think nfs > smb22:38
usr13vadi2: Use nfs22:38
brophatRaydiation when I click the upgrade button it does not give me a choice of mirror22:38
Raydiationbrophat: set it in your software sources22:38
brophatRaydiation how do I do that22:38
kyle__Raydiation: It greatly depends on which version of NFS, and what you're doing with it.22:38
exutuxThePendulum: I think that you cat try to add manually windows 7 in a 40_custom script grub22:39

Raydiationkyle__: nfs4?22:39
kyle__Raydiation: nfsv4 is >>>> samba.  It's great.22:39
ThePendulumexutux: Could it be that the hard disk is formatted wrong for Windows? Or perhaps the SSD?22:39
exutuxThePendulum: or if you want can try to reinstall grub before22:39
ThePendulumexutux: What will that do?22:40
kyle__Raydiation: Sadly, if you have OSX clients, you can't use it: the OSX nfsv4 implementation has been in alpha since 10.5 I think.22:40
brophatRaydiation I don't know doesn'22:40
brophatRaydiation doesn't the button you click to upgrade automate it all? I can do the same thing from that repository?22:41
kyle__vadi2: It's possible, but it would take some setup to get it going.  Something like, dhcp server + pxe boot setup, modify the configs, etc, etc.  Not streightforward.22:41
exutuxThePendulum: uhm I don't know but I don't think that it was formatted...22:41

netzapper_hhey, I'm trying to help a friend by phone. He's running vanilla 12.04... and I'm not. Where the heck is the basic, top-level menu listing all of the applications? It's not where I expect it, and I can't see his machine to fiddle.23:03
romy420vadi2: there's a another way in nautilus to connect to a windows share23:03
vadi2I'm thinking this is a permissions problem... nautilus is applying permissions for write others to it, but they aren't sticking.23:04
romy420vadi2: open nautilus and choose 'connect to a server' in file-menu23:04
vadi2Yeah, I've tried that as well23:04
=== GeekAdmin is now known as Geek{eating}
romy420for me it only works this way and also i have to use the ip of the other machine, not it's windows name23:05
vadi2Yeah, did the IP. It can see the share - but it can't open it.23:06
romy420sometimes it is also necessary to do 'smbpasswd -a <local user name> to link samab password with unix password23:06
romy420do it as root23:06

ubottuVNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX23:16
Dr_willistheres VM's for android that run linux , you connect to the vm session via VNC. :) to get a visible desktop23:17
chaospsychexYes i know but why is a vnc setup required for ubuntu on android?23:17
Dr_willisto view the Desktop.23:17
chaospsychexWhy cant you have a visible desktop without vnc?23:18
kingofswordshello23:18
Dr_willischaospsychex,  because the Phone does not have a X server, or let the VM take over the display directly23:18
kingofswordsi get this error msg: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet". any1 know what it means23:18
Dr_willisIts in a Virtual Machine.23:18
chaospsychexSo the ubuntu install is being virtualized?23:18
Dr_willisthats what 'vm' means. :)23:19

Dr_willisHaltingState,  could be some odd unity/compiz quirk.  but i cant imagine what .. try a differnt window manager/desktop perhaps as a test.23:24
p014kHello. I haven't updated ubuntu in awhile. I'm running 11.04. I really dislike unity, and would like to be able to keep the 'ubuntu classic' login. Does the newest version have this option still? Or is it unity only?23:24
meteorsThanks. I looked in there and found only one type of font. I guess no others have been installed.23:25
b636bc7cameteors: Sounds reasonable23:25
MonkeyDust!notunity| p014k23:25
ubottup014k: 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 !classic23:25
meteorsthanks again23:25
Dr_willisp014k,  i suggest giving unity anothe rtry. or try gnome0-shell - the classic gnome fallback stuff is well just  fallback. ;) it may vanish in the next release.. (i need to check the beta for that)23:25

Dr_willisretracNayr,  canon is known for very poorly supporting ubuntu. You could check the forums and askubuntu.com and the SANE homepage to see if its supported at all.23:33
wolfgang_MonkeyDust, Project64?23:34
wolfgang_Does anyone else know?23:34

Dr_willisTime to learn how to partion a Hard drive  via Gparted It seems...23:40
romy420Garrett93: then windows is gone anyway. am i wrong?23:40
gartralwhy is freenode saying i'm unregistered.. I am registered and logged in >.<23:40
Garrett93Well, the manufacturer, HP, has set up 4 partitions for windows23:40
Garrett93I have recovered windows using restore disks23:40
Dr_willisGarrett93,   since you have disks. You can delete the restore partitions..23:40
zhgartral: ask the folks in #freenode23:41
Dr_willisthen resize the windows install. then install to the unalocated space23:41
MonkeyDustGarrett93  and create an extended partition with logical partition inside23:41
gartralhello all, I'm playing around with various live distros today and I'd like too know how too manually mount an encrypted home on my Ubuntu partition from other OSes..23:41
romy420gartral, u mean from windows or from linux?23:42
Garrett93hm. Let me try this. I shall delete the recovery partition, via windows' diskmgmt.msc23:42

MonkeyDustGarrett93  certainly.... create an extended partition of 200GB or, big enough... inside that, you can create logical partitions.... without extended partition, you can create only 4 partitions.... now go back to the beginning of this line and read again, if it is not clear, just say so23:48
