[00:35] Thought it was gonna flicker and stuff constantly [00:35] stutter* [00:36] There is some debate whether certain types of sexual sensations should be accurately classified as orgasms, including female orgasms caused by G-Spot stimulation alone, and the demonstration of extended or continuous orgasms lasting several minutes or even an hour.[8] The question centers around the clinical definition of orgasm, but this way of viewing orgasm is merely physiological, while there are al [00:36] so psychological, endocrinological, and neurological definitions of 'orgasm'.[6][7][9] In these and similar cases, the sensations experienced are subjective and do not necessarily involve the involuntary contractions characteristic of orgasm. However, the sensations in both sexes are extremely pleasurable and are often felt throughout the body, causing a mental state that is often described as transcend [00:36] ental, and with vasocongestion and associated pleasure comparable to that of a full-contractionary orgasm. For example, modern findings support distinction between ejaculation and male orgasm.[7] For this reason, there are views on both sides as to whether these can be accurately defined as orgasms.[9] [00:36] Achieving orgasm [00:36] In general [00:36] bazhang_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:36] Orgasms may be achieved by a variety of activities. In men, sufficient stimulation can be achieved during vaginal or anal sexual intercourse, oral sex (fellatio) or masturbation/non-penetrative sex. In women, orgasm can be achieved during vaginal sexual intercourse, oral sex (cunnilingus) or masturbation/non-penetrative sex. It may also be by the use of a sensual vibrator or an erotic electrostimulation [00:37] misspaste much? ;) [00:37] In males [00:37] Two-stage model [00:37] In men, the most common way of achieving orgasm is by the stimulation of the penis.[2] This is usually accompanied by ejaculation. It is possible for a man to have an orgasm without ejaculation (known as a "dry orgasm") or to ejaculate without reaching orgasm (which may be a case of delayed ejaculation, a nocturnal emission or a case of anorgasmic ejaculation).[7][15] Men may also achieve orgasm by stimulation of the prostate (see [00:37] below).[18] [00:37] bazhang_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:40] I need help! I just did the stupidest thing ever. I removed the .cache folder in my home directory by accident. I don't know what problems that may cause. Is there any way to recover it? [00:41] pseudosudo, is it in the trash? [00:41] i did sudo -rm -r .cache [00:41] so no, i don't think so [00:41] sudo rm -r .cache*** [00:42] i pressed tab when i type sudo rm -r .c, because i was trying to delete another folder called .config instead. but it selected the .cache folder when i pressed tab and i pressed enter [00:42] now i'm afraid to restart my server [00:42] I don't think you server will suffer anything, whatever you run in it might, however. [00:43] is there an app avalible to generate a .config file for linux 3.5 that autoconfigures it for my system? [00:43] Hello, I have a software raided windows box. I tried installing ubuntu through wubi but was given errors so i removed it. I later found out grub was left on. whenever I boot now it gives me a recover grub (i don't remember what exactly it was called) prompt. No matter what I do, I am unable to restore the original MBR. I have tried using lilo , UBCD , the original windows 7 disk. I am stuck and how no idea where to go from here. [00:44] try burning pupp linux and using that grub installer [00:44] Daekroom, so there is nothing I can do to recover it? [00:44] I want to remove grub though [00:45] I know somebody will know this is it in mtools or the package ntfs-3g came in I forget I just need to beable to mount a fat32 or other old fat fs mount -t fat32 doesn't exist for my mount [00:45] using the grub insaller uninstalls grub and reewrites it [00:45] what is the little envelop icon at the top for on ubuntu 12 [00:46] I am having some trouble compiling linux 3.5 on my computer [00:46] is there another place i can find grub installer, I'm out of blank cds [00:46] do you have access to that system at all? [00:46] or are you stuck at that prompt [00:47] I am stuck at the prompt [00:47] you may be able to make one with a USB rive [00:47] USB Drive [00:48] But you can only oot from it if your BIOS supports it [00:48] is there something i can run from either the live cd or windows cd [00:48] the ubuntu live cd? [00:48] or possible something i can do from the grub prompt [00:48] yes [00:48] DanielHoffman, read README, it explains prettymuch how to configure and compile the kernel [00:49] "what is the little envelop icon at the top for on ubuntu 12" for setting up email and im empathy ...etc :) [00:49] you can boot the live CD and run install grub [00:49] or apt-get install grub and write it to your MBR [00:49] I think my software raid may actually be causing problems when booting from the live cd [00:50] romy420:i will [00:50] i can get in but it individually lists the drives [00:50] what do you mean? [00:51] it may be having trouble with that. [00:51] I need help! I removed the .cache folder in my home directory by accident. I don't know what problems that may cause. Is there any way to recover it? [00:51] in gparted the drives are individually with unallocated space [00:52] is there an option to enable RAID in GParted [00:53] not that i saw unless i overlooked something [00:53] I was wondering, can someone point me in the right direction for sharing a wifi connection via lan while still having the wifi router handle IP distribution etc so that wifi devices can see my lan devices? right now I used the simple network manager ¨share¨ option [00:53] DanielHoffman, use the alternative iso for raid support [00:53] but that doesnt allow devices on wifi to see it [00:54] jagginess: i not having the problem [00:54] Jeffsi: you can repair your windows 7 install/remove grub like described here: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/win7-windows-7-mbr,10036.html and for raid setups you have to download the 'alternate cd' from ubuntu [00:54] pseudosudo: removing that folder should not cause any big issues as far as i'm aware, its temporary files [00:54] basically I just want to merge a cable based network and a wifi network so that my internal transfers can make use of gigabit lan [00:54] but I do not have physical access to the router [00:55] help2man, is there a way to remove the icon (little envelope)?

[00:57] wifi can never beat gigabit lan [00:57] at least not now [00:57] Jeffsi, try to reboot as the article says /fixmbr in most cases solves the issue ... i remember that it worked for me [00:58] TheShellfishMeme, what throughput can you get on your wifi? [00:58] 1MB / s, something like that [00:58] but I have no physical access to the AP [00:58] TheShellfishMeme, something isn't setup properly. [00:58] TheShellfishMeme, you'll have to check your router's manuals [00:58] the point is that it is not my router, please read what I am wiring [00:59] writing [00:59] TheShellfishMeme, well you'll have to ask your administrator. BTW, is this a university? [00:59] !enter | TheShellfishMeme [00:59] TheShellfishMeme: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:00] which works. but it creates a new network that cannot be seen by the other devices connected to the wifi. that is the problem I am trying to solve [01:01] the iso is fine and has worked for my laptop [01:01] how or what do i need to customize the main dock/menu bar over <<<< Guest39661, tried the nomodeset option yet?

[01:15] windows is installed on that raid [01:16] ok, umust decide if u want to have acccess to this raid from ubuntu or not. if yes, then u have to do the slightly more complicated installation from the 'alternate cd' [01:17] I reciently bought a DVB-T USB tuner card (0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.) and I can't get Kaffieen or VLC player to see it. How can I figure out why it's not working?

[01:21] zykotick9, i'm just asking if any database is installed by default when i installed ubuntu. also is there any command to know the installed databases [01:21] I've got a weird update issue. I have 3 lucid servers that, after my last round of security updates, won't start apache, mysql, or cron after rebooting. I tried using update-rc.d to recreate the init.d links, but no dice. Anyone know anything about this? [01:22] arunkumar413: i doubt there is any "default" system database settings. if you install a database, you typically know it and know why. i'm sure default ubuntu does use some database programs by default - but i'm not sure specifically which ones. your question seems to broad. [01:23] Jeffsi, idk another way than what we already tried ... i know it can be done, here is another, more detailed description of the process: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/fixboot-is-not-recognized-an-internal-command-when/be670366-bdf1-4b44-b70f-ee692e3464d9?msgId=bff24933-d815-4092-8697-f9bf342dfb29 maybe u should try again [01:24] arunkumar413: have a look at "dpkg -l | grep -i database" [01:24] I seem to have a problem when it comes to using flash (presumably a problem with the flash player itself).

[01:26] Jeffsi: i see .. maybe someone else has another way :( [01:28] Jeffsi: worst case would be, you installed over parts of your raid 0 ... then it would be gone [01:29] romy420: the windows disk still sees everything there but the repair commands won't work [01:31] Jeffsi: i'm sorry .. don't know any further now [01:33] romy420: Well thank you for the help, I'm sure ill find something eventually [01:34] good luck [01:38] ubuntu 12.04 running on hp pavilion dv7 , when plugging a headset the audio comes out both the headset and the speakers how can i fix this please?

[04:39] *scrolling* [04:40] romy420, still no luck [04:41] cfhowlett: ok.....see this http://i.imgur.com/qjrbw.png.....in order to connect to the internet via my modem, i need that message to appear but it doesn't and i've to struggle for it to appear by restarting the computer mayb 10 times [04:41] cfhowlett: is there any way i can make it appear always? [04:42] bgb [04:42] has anyone here worked with Google Wave in a Box by any chance? [04:42] nafcool: I'm guessing that you're attempting to tether a smart phone? [04:42] does anyone know why minecraft wont work with openjdk7? but it will work with openjdk6 [04:42] How can I reset Unity Interface? I messed it up somehow. When I switch between apps, my start-bar-thingy thinks I'm still in the old app. I minimize/maximize and end up doing it to the previous window. [04:42] cfhowlett: nope === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest67550 [04:43] nafcool: huh? CDMA is a cellphone protocol [04:43] cfhowlett: i just want to connect to the internet via my ZTE modem [04:43] nafcool: ah. [04:44] cfhowlett: a USB dongle [04:44] i used dongle in a sentence once [04:44] people laughed [04:46] cfhowlett: is there something wrong with my modem? or the system? [04:47] GooGooGuhCho, I was wondering if any of you fine gents knew of any sort of freeware for and ipod device, or how it could be achieved? [04:47] nafcool: looking. see google "ubuntu + zte modem" lots of hits. there's a video for connecting ubuntu 10.04 with ZTE. I doubt there's anything wrong with your system. [04:48] AmbreiousIxnayes: gtkpod [04:48] Thank you. [04:49] AmbreiousIxnayes: good luck. have fun. [04:49] hey my ubuntu computer keeps freezing and doesn't recover, how can I tell what's causing it? === Dyson is now known as Guest95429 [04:51] is anyone concerned by the fact skype watches your communcations? [04:51] goddard: yes, but until there's a viable and widely used alternative ... [04:52] Hello, i have just installed ubuntu but i had to use the nomodeset to get the cd to work anyone know how to get this command to work from the grub loader thing? [04:53] how can i boot into (k)ubuntu into just command line? [04:53] like ubuntu server does? [04:54] guest95429 grub supports editing commands when booting to get started [04:54] cfhowlett: what happened to direct connection? [04:54] cfhowlett: is it really that hard to display an ip address on the application haha [04:55] goddard: noted. Have an ubuntu support question? [04:55] cfhowlett: i do in fact kind sir [04:55] goddard: ask away then. [04:55] guest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1761252 second post, basically just add nomodeset to your boot commmand and update grub [04:55] * ICWiener has to reboot bbiab [04:55] cfhowlett: how can i disable the internet related lens in ubuntu [04:56] goddard: good question. IDK as I use UbuntuStudio which is XFCE based. AFAIK I've never seen internet lens on my system. Sorry. === geek is now known as Guest42868 [04:57] cfhowlett: how does xfce work with Gnome and KDE apps? [04:58] goddard: sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on dependencies. LibreOffice works fine for instance [04:58] cfhowlett: what about Miro? [04:58] cfhowlett: not exactly gnome or kde [04:59] haven't tried it, so can't say. [04:59] gtkpod is outdated for 12.04. is there a second best? [05:01] AmbreiousIxnayes: Miro works with some [05:03] I seem to have given up on Adobe - are there any other flash players out there that will work? [05:03] Corvus: what do you use flash for? [05:04] Not as well as flash I found corvus.. What problem you having? [05:04] great, thank you. [05:04] Corvus- Try Gnash, it won't work as well as Adobe Flash though... [05:04] AmbreiousIxnayes: honestly you will always have problems with ipods im afriad [05:04] Best bet is to wait till HTML5 takes over [05:04] The problem is pretty much that Adobe isn't working. I use flash primarily for videos and games, but I'll take whatever I can get. [05:05] also for some videos (Without ads) you can view HTML5 videos on youtube: youtube.com/html5 [05:05] Chrome has flash built in too (but, the current version is broken for me, and I had to revert to adobe) [05:05] Corvus: if you watch videos I moved away from the browser and back to video streams. I use Miro to manage them. You can actually even use YouTube as an RSS feed. [05:06] Additional Restrictions (we are working on these!) [05:06] Videos with ads are not supported (they will play in the Flash player) [05:06] On Firefox and Opera, only videos with WebM transcodes will play in HTML5 [05:06] If you've opted in to other testtube experiments, you may not get the HTML5 player (Feather is supported, though) [05:06] video performance is WAY better [05:06] Derpian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:06] http://www.youtube.com/html5 can't wait till this takes off [05:06] Chrome, I suppose I'll try that. Other than that, I believe "Gnash" was mentioned? I tried installing that at some point, but what exactly is it? [05:07] Gnash is horrible [05:07] not even worth trying in my opinion [05:08] Gnash will never be able to compete with Flash.. Problem is, Flash is a moving target, and, with the looming HTML5 changeover eventually (and even with Adobe losing interest in flash), it would be hard to inspire developers to work on Gnash [05:08] hey guys please check out this forum post i just made.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12134816#post12134816 [05:08] I suppose that makes sense. So if Chrome doesn't work, I'll just have to keep trying with Adobe? [05:08] Corvus- seems so [05:09] Corvus: for videos use a desktop app and games you gotta put up with Adobe [05:09] Damn. I suppose I'll live, though. At least Youtube works, now that I can use html5. [05:10] corvus: Keep in mind only some of them work with html5 player. videos with ads go to flash [05:10] Some is better than nothing. [05:11] Chrome seems to be functional, but I'll have to test it before I can be sure. [05:11] ./join #hplu [05:11] In other words, to the pr0nz! [05:11] Corvus- Yeah. I personally use Chromium since I prefer to just have my own choice of plugins. [05:12] Corvus, You can disable plugins in Chrome anyway.. about:plugins [05:12] Well, this seems strange... Shows that dead puzzle piece thingy. [05:13] What's the hplu chan? [05:15] Friends, I solved it [05:16] how we change the windows close button it is i the roung side === darkdevil_ is now known as dArKd3ViL [05:19] Hello, I want to run Maple Story on Linux, but I don't know how. [05:20] Any one willing to help? [05:20] MapleStory: Try WINE http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2341 [05:20] But I head that wine doesn't work for Maple Story. [05:20] And one program that does work is a virtualbox [05:21] computer froze when I burned a disc then I force rebooted it now it boots up to busybox and when I insert live cd to check the discs and says it has several errors... [05:21] MapleStory: Try Virtualbox then and install Windows on it [05:21] what should I do? [05:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1259699 [05:21] That's why I'm here, because I don't know how to do so. [05:21] How about a dual boot? [05:21] And my computer doesn't have but so much RAM and speed. [05:22] MapleStory: do you know how to open the terminal? [05:22] jamster: create an Ubuntu live USB stick. [05:22] MapleStory: you need to open the terminal and type: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [05:22] okay [05:22] MapleStory: I honestly think the best way is to dual boot Windows. Usually games in a virtualbox are slow [05:22] MapleStory: I also HIGHLY recommend you run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:22] what is ubuntu restricted extras? [05:23] How do I create boo-table usb from ubuntu? [05:23] bootable* [05:23] MapleStory: it installs a bunch of stuff you should have. Flash, Microsoft Fonts, Codecs, Plugings, Ect [05:23] oXis, get unetbootin [05:23] my computer is too old to boot from USB cfhowlett [05:23] MapleStory: also you should install wine and wine tricks. ( sudo apt-get install wine winetricks ) [05:23] I don't see how that'd solve my problem [05:23] oXis: from within ubuntu startup disk creator [05:24] If I want to access it and to uninstall, how would I do so? [05:24] MapleStory: access what? [05:24] jamster: ah. then burn another CD [05:24] I need to make windows usb [05:24] also I am unable to mount the hard drive [05:24] is there a way I can see all the programs i've installed [05:24] oXis: unetbootin for windows ... [05:24] and be able to uninstall if i want? [05:24] MapleStory: if you are talking about wine you should definetly keep it..its very useful..you can run A LOT of windows programs with it [05:24] I am talking about the installed ubuntu boots to busy box after reboot [05:24] MapleStory: but to remove wine type: sudo apt-get remove wine (in terminal) [05:25] and I used a ubuntu live cd to troubleshoot the problem [05:25] There's no list I can view that allows me to see what i've installed? [05:25] oXis: wait, you mean a windows start up USB? get the windows usb creator tool. [05:25] unable to mount the partitions and says there is errors on the disc [05:25] what should I do? [05:25] MapleStory: in this chat they like it when you type the nick of the person you are talking to before you talk. You dont have to type the full name..just the first two or three letters then press the "TAB" key on keyboard to autocomplete. [05:25] from? cfhowlett [05:26] jamster: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [05:26] GeekAdmin: There's no list I can view that allows me to see what i've installed on Linux? [05:26] oXis: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [05:26] GeekAdmin: Just like a Unintall/Add Program in Control Panel for Windows === sandwich is now known as guest34567i653 [05:26] . [05:27] I already downloaded it, tnx :) [05:27] jamster: sorry. if the previous installation was funky, I'd suggest you start over. First md5sum checksum your ubuntu iso [05:27] MapleStory: yes there is [05:27] MapleStory: there is a package manager [05:27] hmmmm [05:27] MapleStory: its called the "ubuntu software center" [05:27] no I didn't say it was a FRESH INSTALL [05:28] !botsnack [05:28] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:28] jamster: ah. ok. back up your data. reinstall. [05:28] while burning a cd of data not of ubuntu iso my computer froze and then I force rebooted the pc and then it booted to busybox [05:28] GeekAdmin: How can i access the packet manager? [05:28] I am not able to mount the partitions [05:28] so I can't backup... [05:28] this is my problem [05:28] jamster: live boot cd and you STILL can't get to your data? [05:28] yes [05:29] I've tried ubuntu and lubuntu and also parted magic [05:29] I hate windows!!! [05:29] y [05:29] sucks [05:29] !ot [05:29] #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! [05:29] windows sucks [05:29] oXis, on what basis? [05:29] Sorry, forgot for a moment [05:29] MapleStory: ALT+F2 and then search for Ubuntu Software Manager [05:30] MapleStory: oops I meant "ubuntu Software Center" [05:30] GeekAdmin: i've just installed apt-ubuntu extras [05:30] GeekAdmin: im stuck on the "OK" agreement [05:30] GeekAdmin: How do i accept terms? [05:30] jamster: Have you tried running fsck on the drive? [05:30] jamster: so from the liveboot, do you get an error message when trying to access your data? [05:31] MapleStory: use the TAB key [05:31] MapleStory: and "enter" key [05:32] yes jmrog I used gparted and disk utility to check and repair file systems it does it for a while then it freezes and does nothing [05:32] GeekAdmin: How do I now install wine to Linux? [05:32] should I just run the command in a terminal instead? [05:32] wanna fuck [05:32] !who fact667bn [05:32] jamster: It shouldn't make a difference as long as the drive is unmounted, afaik [05:32] well it seems to work fine in disk utility but I don't think it repairs anything [05:32] !ban fact667bn [05:33] disk utility in lubuntu [05:33] MapleStory: in terminal type: sudo apt-get install wine [05:33] I don't get an error message cfhowlett [05:33] GeekAdmin: There's a problem, my Terminal just shutdown [05:33] it just can't mount them [05:33] MapleStory: load up another window [05:34] nautilus just doesn't show the directory layout when I click on the partition [05:34] jamster: you said you used gparted and disk utility. Did you use fsck as well? [05:34] How do I force close a program? [05:34] GeekAdmin: update manager is at 329 [05:34] jamster: keep asking in this channel. I've experienced this on occasion but it was caused by my triple boot system. [05:34] gparted uses fsck it seems [05:34] oXis: ps -x to find the pid number than kill -9 pid# [05:34] jamster: Ah, didn't realize that. [05:35] well it shows the command it sues [05:35] it was e2fsck -f -y -v or something like that [05:36] hold on I'll boot the other computer from live cd again [05:36] cfhowlett: What? [05:36] will use parted magic much faster boot up times [05:36] brb [05:36] oXis: to force quit an operation or app [05:36] GeekAdmin: I'm going to try to run Maple Story with wine. How would I do so? [05:37] I'll try running fsck in terminal instead maybe it is a gui issue [05:37] oXis, cfhowlett mean, use the terminal and type "ps aux" find your application and it will have PID number, Note it down and use the other command "kill -9 PIDnumber" [05:38] jamster: Yeah, that's worth trying. You might even try booting the LiveCD straight to the single user console and running fsck from there, if possible. [05:38] MapleStory: once you have wine installed you can actually run .exe [05:38] Do the Ubuntu channels in different languages use the same bot? [05:39] can anyone tell me why my wired connection drops? [05:39] really i spent over 8 hrs just to fix this stupid headphone issue i am having with 12.04 [05:39] this used to work find with 11.04 [05:39] well... its a wireless connection, into a wired connection. bridge. and when it drops. it only trys for like 1minute to reconnect, then when router fixes, it wont connect unless if i make it. can anyone tell me how to automate this process? [05:39] Why the ubuntu window close button is in the left side? it looks a litle annoying [05:39] GeekAdmin: Maple Story requires .Net Frame 2, C++ 2008 Redistritubables; would I need to also download these files to run it? [05:40] d0lphin_: cuz that's where Mark wanted it. [05:41] How to connect Reliance net Connect ZTE in ubuntu 12.04LTS? [05:41] i dont like how the window maximizes and the title bar is the top menu bar [05:41] MapleStory: you can try. But didnt you already say you read that it wont work with wine? Not every game will [05:41] cfhowlett lol im try to put it in the right side "the normal" [05:41] Hi [05:42] gesparza: greetings. [05:42] d0lphin_: I'm sure there's a way, IDK what it is, though.

[05:42] GeekAdmin: The post was in 2009, maybe there's some new changes that would work for 2012. [05:42] greetings cfhowlett [05:42] GeekAdmin: Doesn't hurt to try [05:42] !cookie|Hackuin__ [05:42] Hackuin__: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:42] !info ubuntu-tweak | d0lphin_ [05:42] d0lphin_: Package ubuntu-tweak does not exist in precise [05:42] gesparza: what's YOUR ubuntu support question? [05:42] Oh... Hm. [05:42] MapleStory: sure. Remember Google has a search by time feature [05:43] MapleStory: you can search for pages only within the last year [05:43] cfhowlett: i just posted it [05:43] MapleStory: I'll look for you === root is now known as Guest25207 [05:43] cfhowlett Hackuin__ jmrog got it thanks :) [05:43] GeekAdmin: Download Wine, it's stuck on "unpacking libilbase6" and hasn't moved. [05:43] d0lphin_: You can do it by installing the Ubuntu Tweak package. Thought [05:43] Thought it was in the repos [05:43] But apparently it's available via PPA [05:43] gesparza: scroll lock .. OK read it and understood none of it. I'm not the goto guy on this issue. [05:43] MapleStory: It looks like some versions of MapleStory can be run with Wine, with some substantial success, but that there is also a long and extensive history of failure. If you already have a copy of MapleStory, you should try it and see. [05:44] on my issue. i changed to using wicd ,but my wireless dropping still continues [05:44] MapleStory: check out this forum page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11843102 [05:44] cfhowlett: thanks anyways [05:44] any last suggestions before i throw this PoS from the window [05:44] i hated HP anyways and this just adds to it [05:45] Any idea where i can get some help for an ISCSI question? [05:45] I tried the openfiler chat room... no luck [05:46] jmrog thanks :) [05:46] d0lphin_: No problem! [05:46] Is there a way to hide the unity bar on the side? [05:46] MapleStory, why no just find some online maplestory game? Never played it tough, so I am not sure, why not give it a try over Google? [05:47] yahooshua: You can hide it until you scroll over to that area, if that's what you mean [05:47] has anyone here worked with Google wave in a box? [05:47] well... its a wireless connection, into a wired connection. bridge. and when it drops. it only trys for like 1minute to reconnect, then when router fixes, it wont connect unless if i make it. can anyone tell me how to automate this process? [05:47] on my issue. i changed to using wicd ,but my wireless dropping still continues [05:48] yahooshua: Is that what you mean? Auto-hide it while you're not using it?

[05:48] windows 7 [05:49] how hard would it be to upgrade mysql beyond what's in apt? upgrading ubuntu wiped out jenkins, and fixing that is borderline nightmarish [05:49] Hello everyone [05:49] aashu_dwivedi_: You should be able to choose to install to that partition and it won't mess with your other partitions. Always back up your important data to be safe, though. [05:49] aashu_dwivedi_: dual boot. quite easy. You WILL have to reinstall/restore grub after installing windows. [05:49] aashu_dwivedi_: You will have to restore the boot-loader afterwards, though. [05:49] aashu_dwivedi_, No worry's, Just install it and fix the grub. [05:49] Basically, what everyone else just said :) [05:49] coop: greetings. What's YOUR ubuntu support question [05:50] so i need to take a backup of grub before that ? how to reinstall/ restore grub ? sorry i am a n00b [05:50] !restore [05:50] aashu_dwivedi_: you don't need to backup grub.

[05:54] lol kryllx you and I both know it ain;t all that [05:54] coop: What problem are you having with the sound card? [05:55] coop, lol [05:55] jmrog well it seems to be playing through the pc speaker and I have connected everything properly [05:55] anybody know how to get wine working in amd64? https://gist.github.com/3186272 [05:55] coop, ok. Do you see the sound card when you do the lspci command? [05:55] but still no worky [05:55] Yes I do [05:55] Is there a way to hide the unity bar on the side? [05:56] WhatWhereAmI: standard installation method worked for me... [05:56] Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [05:56] yahooshua: I asked you earlier, do you just mean auto-hide it so that it goes away when you're not trying to use it? [05:56] coop, ok, it's recognized so that's a good thing. [05:56] cfhowlett: i get this from both the ubuntu repo version and the wine repo version =\ [05:56] jmrog: I know and I replied a little later. Sorry grabbed some tea. Yes, anything like that [05:56] WhatWhereAmI: error message? [05:56] Yes sir and I believe it's fine just don;t understand what's going on with it [05:57] coop: I must have missed what your problem is. You don't want it playing through the speaker? [05:57] coop, so can you hear it out of the speaker or not? [05:57] Not through the pc speaker no [05:57] cfhowlett: there's not really an error, check the link. https://gist.github.com/3186272 [05:57] But through the Speaker I bought for it yes [05:57] apt gives me some crazy solution that results in no changes. [05:58] Kryllx, I can hear it through the internal PC Speaker not the external I bought for it [05:58] coop, so it works when you plug a speaker into the output jack, but not when the speaker is unplugged [05:58] yahooshua: No problem, must have missed it. In Unity, click on the gear next to your username (at the top right on the panel), and select 'System Settings...' Choose 'Appearance," and then turn Auto-hide the Launcher on. [05:58] No it does not when I plug it in to the output jack [05:58] coop, well, I'll tell you some things to do. You may not like them [05:58] lol Yeah I figured as much lol [05:59] coop, get a terminal window up.

[06:01] Well I figured it's already at newest version [06:01] coop, well, we need those to run the "alsamixer" command. Do that [06:01] WhatWhereAmI, no. is that something i could get my head around in an afternoon? [06:01] coop, you might need to do "sudo alsamixer" [06:02] Kryllx, it may be I am hooking it up wrong two things you should know one is I am using a Curtis LCD2223A TV/Monitor for this and I am trying to hook up the sound through it [06:02] Snowie: start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash [06:02] coop, we'll just check in alsamixer that everything is unmuted first [06:02] Kryllx: regular alsamixer should be fine [06:02] I also do have a little Linux Knowledge but not as much as some folks in here [06:02] assuming he's running regular pulseaudio and everything [06:03] WhatWhereAmI, there is actually a debugger along with the installer. thanks mate, will start reading [06:03] Kryllx, Will do === Lulz is now known as Qub1t [06:03] sounds like it might be a device selection issue? [06:03] Kryllx, Thanks I got exactly what I needed from that [06:03] coop, play some sound and watch alsamixer [06:04] coop, cool [06:04] coop, it was worth me teasing you, huh? ;) [06:05] Yup That's alright Kryllx every dog has their day hehe [06:05] lolz [06:05] No movement on the alsamixer y the way [06:05] ooops by I meant [06:05] WhatWhereAmI: if you're feeling really brave, you could run apt-get install wine --force -yes. --force -yes is a power user option that overrides the usual safety measures and WILL put your system at risk of breakage. [06:06] cfhowlett: that sounds highly scary [06:06] WhatWhereAmI: with great power ... [06:06] coop: assuming you're running default pulseaudio i would highly recommend pavucontrol for a longer term solution. [06:06] worth checking out anyway [06:06] This is really the first time i have had problems with both sound and Video [06:07] WhatWhereAmI, Thank you I will look into it. [06:08] Usually fires up right out of the box no problems but i really think my Problem may lie in this Curtis TV/Monitor [06:08] cfhowlett: i'm gonna read about that option in the apt-get man page and see how i feel about it [06:08] WhatWhereAmI: consider running a virtualbox of x/l/ubuntu. test things out there without risking your primary system. [06:08] My resolution is 1024 x 768 some how I think with a 22 inch monitor it should get better than that [06:08] coop: usually everything works great out of the box unless you have fancy hardware configurations with multiple hardware audio devices [06:09] coop: i would look up the specs for the monitor online to figure out for sure what the res should be [06:09] Trying to use a box I got for 50 bucks Lenovo MT 8813 [06:10] can anyone tell me why ubuntu recommends the 32bit version on the download page? [06:10] All I had to do was put in a laptop drive i had and I was in business [06:10] Well sorta anyway lol [06:10] jeffrey: because it alomost always works. 64 bit is recommended if you have 4 gigs or more of ram. [06:10] WhatWhereAmI, tried gdb but it didn't recognise the file format. it's the binary. [06:10] Alrighty then off to goole heaven [06:10] cfhowlett: well i have 4gb, i should be installing 64bit, right? [06:11] jeffrey: and your CPU? [06:11] cfhowlett: 2500k [06:11] Snowie: use the "file" command to check the actual type of the binary [06:11] cfhowlett: intel i5 [06:11] jeffrey: no no, CPU version. Pentium, or what [06:11] intel i5 [06:11] 2500k [06:12] jeffrey: ah. Yeah, I'd definitely try 64 bit. I've got dual core pentium with 4 gigs and it seems to love U ubuntuStudio 64 [06:12] WhatWhereAmI, hmm, "/opt/Ardour-3.0beta5_13072/bin/ardour3": not in executable format: File format not recognised... um, that's the file i run to start if from terminal [06:13] Snowie: right, it's probably a shell script [06:13] ah, ok, ill gedit it and see what's in there [06:13] do "file /opt/Ardour-3.0beta5_13072/bin/ardour3" [06:14] Snowie: did you check for a crash log in /var/crash ?

[06:16] Intel GMA 3000 Integrated unfortunately but has 256 mb of ram allowed [06:16] hm [06:16] Hi all [06:17] For Video I am really just wanting to use this as my work station [06:17] Is it possible to add Skype account to Empathy, if only for chat? [06:17] MizeryBear: greetings. What is YOUR ubuntu support question. [06:17] Things I have read says Ubuntu 12.04 should pick this up with no problem\ [06:18] WhatWhereAmI, youre right, it's a shell script. when i try to run the executable directly, it fails. (obviously the shell script creates a needed config for start) [06:18] yahooshua: possible but not easy. I tried multiple methods with 10.04 then gave up the effort. [06:18] coop: if it's displaying stuff, then ubuntu has definitely picked it up [06:18] And I am not as seasoned as you guys are so I am still learning there for the reason I am here [06:18] Yes it is sorry just not to my licking [06:18] Snowie: could you pastebin the shell script? [06:18] coop: *whisper* We're ALL still learning [06:18] liking lol [06:18] coop: I don't think the GMA 3000 supports resolutions that high [06:19] coop: thanks for correcting that [06:19] jmrog: was my suspicion [06:19] cfhowlett: thanx, thought so [06:19] WhatWhereAmI, sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115084/ [06:19] You could be right jmrog however I would think it could atleast do 1280 x 800 or even 720 [06:19] Your Welcome cfhowlett [06:20] lol I noticed it right away [06:20] coop, WhatWhereAmI: I'm only basing that thought on quick googling, though, and now I'm seeing some mixed results, so it's not clear to me what resolution it supports [06:21] jmrog, so you feel my pain and now know why I am here [06:21] i have a hard drive adapter that goes from usb to serial ATA, can i plug in a factory fresh hard drive into this adapter and mirror my entire running installation of ubuntu so when i slap the new drive in it boots? [06:21] WhatWhereAmI, i see now that the shell script is enabling gdb. If i use a switch 'T' ??? [06:21] coop: Guess so :) [06:22] I just wish I had more experience so I could figure this out [06:22] Snowie: add --debug to your command when running the shell script [06:22] WhatWhereAmI, ahh, awesome, thanks mate [06:22] Gimme a linux server I'll work ya wonders, gimme a desktop and I am as lost as a noob [06:24] thanks guys for trying I will have to dig deeper it appears [06:25] IlikeMoose: i'm pretty sure you're gonna have some problems trying to do that while the system is running. [06:25] IlikeMoose: but dd is generally the tool used to clone a disk [06:26] WhatWhereAmI, so i'm probably going to have to do the whole reinstall from scratch thing ? [06:26] How to connect Reliance net Connect ZTE in ubuntu 12.04LTS? [06:26] coop: Do you know the chipset for the card? [06:27] Hang on let me look [06:27] coop: If it's G965 or G963 express then the documentation from Intel says it supports resolutions up to 2048x1536 [06:27] i need linux software to make a bootable usb [06:27] coop: www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma3000/gma3000.pdf [06:28] jeffrey: unetbootin [06:28] ty [06:28] is there an up-to-date chromium PPA? [06:28] jeffrey: or ubuntu startupdisk creator [06:28] jmrog, Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 [06:28] IlikeMoose: if you need it to be running the whole time, then pretty much === RoozbehOnline is now known as Rosha [06:28] coop: Q965 is also listed in that doc as 2048x1536 [06:29] How to get firefox to route through gSTM? [06:29] Cool now to get it there lol [06:29] IlikeMoose: if you need to be able to clone a disk with zero downtime, that's architecture you need to have setup in advance. probably via RAID. [06:29] The highest res on the Curtis I am using is 1980 [06:29] WhatWhereAmI, thanks [06:30] WhatWhereAmI, wow. I really feel like i learned somthing there. Ok, here are the results http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115093/ [06:30] Wait minute hold the phone [06:31] Snowie: are you still at the gdb prompt?

[06:32] Snowie: sure. i can tell you if debug symbols are on or not. [06:33] Okay now i know what I am up against [06:33] I will have to configure the monitor manually [06:33] WhatWhereAmI, debug symbols... ok. well http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115097/ [06:33] Yuk xorg here I come [06:34] Night guys have an awesome morning/evening/day [06:34] coop: Good luck, gonna have to leave you to that as I have to leave [06:34] coop: Glad you at least have a bit more info now :) [06:34] me too jmrog thanks for the help === mnepton is now known as mneptok [06:34] coop: No problem [06:34] cool, looks like you have a debug build Snowie [06:35] WhatWhereAmI, so am i right now in thinking it's of to bug reporting tools, or is there anything there you see that i might try modifying on my machine to get it running? [06:37] Snowie: yeah, from what i'm seeing you're probably gonna want to submit this info to ardour's mailing list or whatever [06:37] ??DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 [06:37] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, DON'T click on suspicious links, and type « /msg ubottu exploit » if you want more information. [06:38] Snowie: quit out of gdb then list the directory you're in to see if you have a file named "core" [06:38] Weird bug: sound only seems to work in my video players about 1 in 3 times that i open them (the same file seems to decide to play sound or not nondeterministically). What gives? [06:38] WhatWhereAmI, awsome man. thanks so much. I love seeing the features in beta's, but often when i have an issue, i can only explain "When i click play it freezes for ages and then dies" i feel like i can be alot more valuable now [06:38] anyone here using 12.04 with Latitude E5520 or E6530? Any problems with drivers? [06:38] the above holds for both vlc and totem or whatever the builtin player is called these days [06:39] vlc doesn't even seem to recognize that there's an audio track most of the time [06:39] Snowie: the debug tools in linux are actually really awesome. the whole gcc / gdb toolchain is one of my favorite parts of linux. [06:39] gdb has a ton of great features that are really complicated. [06:41] WHAT_UP: does this happen when you use vlc to play an audio file, an mp3 for example? [06:42] WhatWhereAmI, that's what has kept me with ubuntu desktop for like 4 years now. I'm not a coder, just believe in the free ethos. Right now i think of muy skills as 'post-noob'. As in, I know enough to make sure i dont break anything critical, how to find the answer (usually) in google, and when im just beaten. Like right now, i dont have the skills to fix it, but at least I can now forward on my experience [06:43] Snowie: the best advice i can give you is get comfortable talking to people on mailing lists. they're the ones who really know what's going on. [06:44] WhatWhereAmI: hmm. the video issue doesn't seem to work for videos on another hard drive. could it be that because i'm writing to the first drive, reading isn't going fast enough to handle sound as well? i'm looking for an mp3 now to test what happens if i run that from the written-to drive [06:44] most open source applications are gonna have dedicated users mailing lists. [06:44] WHAT_UP: that sounds weird! [06:45] WhatWhereAmI: i get a lot of "main subpicture error: blending YUVA to I411 failed" errors in the terminal from vlc. googling it doesn't help much. [06:45] i was asking on the off chance that the media player was having trouble finding the correct audio track [06:45] hm [06:45] are you sure your video file isn't slightly corrupt? [06:45] WhatWhereAmI: mp3 works fine [06:45] is it more than one video from more than one source? [06:46] WhatWhereAmI: i guess it could be, but i never had this problem before. the video is from a single source, but it's kind of shady (video camera writing to a hard drive that might not be able to handle the load at times, but generally seems fine) [06:46] WhatWhereAmI: i know the audio track is there, because it does seem to load *part* of the time for each individual video [06:47] it's weird that there's a nondeterminism here [06:47] WHAT_UP: wait, is the file currently being written? [06:47] WhatWhereAmI: unless over 10 files are being copied in parallel, the answer should be no to at least some of them [06:48] so the file that you're playing is finished writing [06:48] do you have mplayer installed? [06:48] WhatWhereAmI: hmm [06:48] WhatWhereAmI: yes. let me try it. [06:49] WhatWhereAmI: yes. and it seems to work there without fault [06:49] what you should do is play a file that exhibits the problem in mplayer, stop mplayer, then pastebin the output. [06:49] o rly... [06:50] WhatWhereAmI: http://pastie.org/4347048 [06:50] that's one that works [06:51] so there are two audio streams, do you know what they both are? [06:51] 25 for 25 [06:52] WhatWhereAmI: one of them might be silent [06:52] WhatWhereAmI: problem is, vlc doesn't even let me choose between the two. the entire audio selection is greyed out [06:52] oh, interesting [06:53] well, mplayer is pretty sweet :) [06:53] chris [06:54] WhatWhereAmI: is there a way to skip forward... in-veo :P [06:55] WhatWhereAmI: oh. arrow keys. nice! this will work just fine for my current needs. thanks!! [06:56] WHAT_UP: also f for fullscreen [06:57] how do i go about getting an OpenPGP key in 12.04? [06:57] http://sheet.shiar.nl/mplayer [06:58] IlikeMoose: try Passwords and Keys [06:58] File -> New... PGP Key [06:59] WhatWhereAmI, is this pretty normal for a bug report? wasn't really sure http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=5039 [06:59] WhatWhereAmI: not needed for my case :P. i need to identify some basic info about the videos (lecture title, speaker, affiliation, etc) so i can put in the metadata into a database so my script can (hopefully) process them =). small-size is good enough for this. mplayer seems like a clean player for future purposes, though, so thanks! [06:59] cool! [06:59] hello everyone [07:00] oh hai [07:00] unity needs a "start menu" it's hard finding programs when you don't know what you're looking for. thanks WhatWhereAmI [07:00] when i start an application, it doesnt start on full screen even though its suppose to be maximized [07:00] like, say my browser, it start almost full screen [07:01] Snowie: that looks great, the one thing i would recommend is to attach that core dump named "core" which should be in the directory you ran everything from. [07:01] the title bar is just below the bar where all the menus are [07:01] how do i change that [07:01] WhatWhereAmI, ahh, thanks. will add that now [07:01] gconf [07:01] is there way for ubuntu to remember samba password? [07:01] client [07:01] ahh no, never mind [07:01] ;) [07:02] it asks me for password each time i try to access folder [07:02] drag0nius: its not giving you an option to "remember password forever"? [07:02] think i did choose that [07:02] it remembers username [07:02] and domain, but not password [07:02] drag0nius: did you add it as a bookmark? [07:02] hmm, not sure [07:02] no [07:03] telling it to keep your password forever definitely _should_ have worked [07:03] WhatWhereAmI, if the core dump wasn't in that folder, where would it be? [07:03] you may have to edit a samba conf directly? [07:04] but i dont use samba directly often [07:04] Snowie: if you can't find it i wouldn't worry about it [07:05] WhatWhereAmI, haha, yeah. I've done my part anyways [07:05] Snowie: if they ask you for it, ask them where to find it. it's ardour's debug system. [07:05] WhatWhereAmI, true. will see how long it takes them to reply [07:05] good luck [07:07] whenever i run wine games ...screen enters full screen mode but u nity launcher and top panel remains visible ? [07:07] killer: i would definitely recommend using unity2d when running wine games. i've noticed they run significantly faster and better. [07:08] is there a way to start a window, from the terminal, maximized [07:08] or just drop to X only :p [07:08] ive downloaded and install warzone 2100(from source) [07:08] jenia: maximized is a bit ambiguous. [07:09] WhatWhereAmI :i got same prob in unity 2d too [07:09] and when i run it from the terminal, the window is not maximized. the title bar is just below the "top line" [07:09] killer: try alt+tabbing back and forth a couple times? [07:09] full screen [07:10] jenia: you might try removing window decorations for that window [07:10] F11? [07:10] ohh okay [07:10] jenia: are there video options in the settings for fullscreen? [07:10] WhatWhereAmI :yea that did solved the problem ...thanx [07:10] killer: np [07:11] jenia: that may depend on application [07:11] * DFrostedWang is going to sleep now [07:11] yes, the resolution is my max resolution [07:11] jenia: but is there an option specifically labeled "fullscreen"? [07:12] hi, my computer shows on every first start of the day a windows which tells me that my system is running in low graphics-mode, but the window is unclickable and i can't do anything.... when i restart, the system runs normally, and not in low graphics mode... can any1 help me to get rid of this problem? i have a nvidia gtx570 and the proprietary nvidia-driver [07:13] sorry for that [07:13] my system logged out unexpectedly!! [07:13] but yes, you were right. there was an option saying windows/full screen [07:13] and that obviously solved the problem [07:13] thanks a lot [07:14] jenia: that's what you want [07:14] !! [07:14] np [07:14] hello, I have the problem that in my configuration the settings in "common appearance / application appearance" like color / font always fall back into default values. How to change it permanently? [07:14] greenit, do you get the option to choose the os you want to boot on the restart (GRUB)? [07:14] yes [07:14] Snowie, yes# [07:15] kai64: are you in unity? [07:15] greenit, but you dont get that on the boot that shows that window, right? [07:15] I created a custom kernel and kernel header using the make-kpkg tools. However I am unable to use the module assistant to build alsa drivers. Its spitting out error that check for kernel headers failed but the custom headers are installed too. Kindly help. [07:15] sorry WhatWhereAm what is unity meaning for? [07:15] Snowie, well, i boot the kernel which shows the window... but after a restart it works fine :S === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [07:16] jenia: You can start gnome terminal with the command "gnome-terminal --geometry=100x100" Where 100x100 is replaced with the dimensions you want. If you pick something bigger than your monitor then it will run fullscreen [07:17] greenit, ahh, so you always get the grub window. I had an issue where on every start i would get a black screen on boot. To fix i had to hold shift on start and boot into recovery mode, then restart from there, and all would be fine. Do you get different splash screens between your initial boot and your restart? [07:18] Snowie, yeah, the first splash-screen looks like the normal 12.04 screen, the second, when i reboot, it looks like a crappy version of that [07:20] greenit, can you open a terminal, and post the output of $ lspci | grep VGA [07:20] Snowie, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 570] (rev a1) [07:21] greenit, ok. sec mate. i edited my GRUB file.

Earlier I asked and desxcribed teh environment two nics, virtualbox, can see network and wn but no dns [07:57] amagee, that's just computers as far as im aware. If you have a gfx card in, the main will not work [07:57] beanpole: im so confused at what your working with now... [07:58] Snowie: it works in windows.. i've set it up in bios [07:58] terminhell: any hints? [07:58] beanpole: there shouldn't be too much difference [07:58] amagee, ahh, try having a look at grub options then, you may find your answer there [07:58] amagee: google dual screen/video cards for xorg [07:58] hey it is still revoving how to stop this [07:58] beanpole: just open up a terminal and run "sudo pppoeconf", follow the prompts [07:58] i've set up a million dual screen / video cards in xorg but haven't had a problem like this [07:59] hipitihop_: so did you try putting in a DNS server to use manually? [07:59] command not found [07:59] amagee: but with 2 diff vid devices? [07:59] beanpole: okay, do this first then: sudo apt-get install pppoeconf [07:59] no [08:00] amagee: cuz afaik xorg must be configured to differentiate between the displays and drivers for them [08:00] can i see if the graphics card is even installed? there used to be a "device manager"-like applet in previous versions of ubuntu but i can't seem to find it in 12.04 [08:00] to use ubuntu will i always have to type this commands [08:01] hi does anyone know zhat possibilty I have to make a videocall with yahoo messenger. I heard about some web solutions but didn't find anything yet [08:01] installed [08:01] amagee, have you had a look at the gui 'system>monitors'? maybe it's simpler than you think [08:01] processing triggers for menu [08:01] beanpole: you should only have to go through all this once [08:01] Snowie: i have but it only sees the one [08:02] I found 2 ethernet devices: │ [08:02] │ eth0 │ [08:02] │ pan0 │ [08:02] │ │ [08:02] │ Are all your ethernet interfaces listed above? │ [08:02] beanpole: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:02] amagee, fair enough. i know sometimes i get lost in google and the problem was simple is all [08:02] :o [08:02] amagee: try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DualScreen [08:02] beanpole: you can't paste a bunch of lines in here [08:02] how can i see if the graphics card is even detected at all? [08:02] amagee: lspci | grep VGA [08:03] xrandr -q only gives one monitor [08:03] and lspci |grep VGA only gives one graphics card [08:03] ...because xorg only configured for it [08:03] WhatWhereAmI, no I have not setup anything to do with DNS as I have never had to with other VM instances. [08:04] so maybe, your bios may need to be changed to allow for both? [08:04] beanpole: PAN0 is used for bluetooth ad-hoc networks if i understand correctly, you want eth0 [08:04] hey i manged to setup the connection [08:04] will sudo pon dsl-provider start this [08:04] hipitihop_: i've never had the problem you're talking about with ubuntu guests. are you using VMWare or virtualbox or what? [08:05] terminhell, he has it in windows then i think it might be GRUB, not BIOS [08:05] terminhell: the bios is setup correctly.. both monitors are working in windows [08:05] i don't see how it could be grub [08:05] woooo the network is on [08:05] i am connected now [08:05] i dont see how grub would affect this, unless a modeset is required [08:05] beanpole: did it work because of pppoeconf? [08:06] amagee, im a noob man, but the only link i see is that bios>grub>os [08:06] beanpole: also, congrats :) [08:06] it says rp pppoe plugin loaded [08:06] amagee, works in one and not the other, start at the bottom [08:06] yaaa i am browsing [08:06] which display does lspci show? [08:06] thanks [08:06] g/l beanpole [08:07] hey should i delete this eth 0 and dsl connection 1 in network manager [08:07] no [08:08] ok [08:08] beanpole: i would leave all that stuff alone if i were you, in case it stops working for some unknown reason :P [08:08] ok [08:08] amagee: what does lspci | grep VGA show exactly [08:08] beanpole: hold on to this if you have any trouble in the future, or if the connection doesn't come back up automatically when you reboot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [08:08] terminhell: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device 6819 [08:08] ok [08:09] i think sudo pppoeconf did the trick [08:09] so your ati card is good, you may have to install the intel(i assume) drivers first, then as per the link earlier, set xorg to use that driver for the other mon1 [08:10] just out of interest the only reason i'm trying this is because for some unknown reason i can't plug my other monitor into the ati card via hdmi, even though dvi works.. but that's not a linux problem as it also doesn't work in windows [08:10] i can't find any info on installing the intel drivers.. on the motherboard it just says they should be included in the latest kernel [08:10] ok thanks guys lunch break i will see you all after installing ubuntu to hard drive [08:10] hah, good luck sir! [08:10] i'm scared for that guy [08:11] i did not expect to be able to get that working [08:11] WhatWhereAmI, lol [08:11] :P [08:11] amagee: my experience with hdmi devices is that you have to manually change them sometimes to hdmi [08:11] kudos && +1 to WhatWhereAmI [08:11] hmmm [08:11] i just didnt have the patience for that one =/ [08:11] thank you, thank you :D [08:12] i will look into that [08:12] after he said "how do i find that out" after asking if his router is connected to his modem [08:12] As a note, im pretty sure i got spotify working for that other guy, as he has not been back [08:12] cool beans. fixing things is fun XD [08:12] it's tough with the language barrier, he said he was in india? [08:12] HELL YAH [08:12] yep [08:13] good job bro [08:13] by the way, i came in here with a problem installing wine on amd64 [08:13] just figured i should say that using apt-get instead of aptitude worked fine :P [08:13] has that been resolved? [08:13] I work in a call centre in aus, but most of our stuff is answered in phillipines. Language barriers are but a small hurdle in MOST cases [08:13] which is crazy, because i thought aptitude was just a passthru to apt-get ! [08:14] not exactly [08:14] honestly i prefer cli for any sort of upgrades [08:14] and even more honestly, im not even using ubuntu [08:14] Snowie: i had a job as a programmer where it was just me in california and 30 guys in bangladesh [08:14] terminhell, :O [08:14] that didn't work out [08:14] i just like helping out in here [08:15] WhatWhereAmI, how was that? [08:15] terminhell: i only use aptitude for aptitude search :P [08:15] WhatWhereAmI: :p apt-cache search [08:15] Snowie: really weird! i actually didn't do anything most of the time [08:15] terminhell: i can't be bothered to remember the differences between apt-cache and apt-get! [08:15] haha [08:16] ok, while we are talking. how does an app end up in the repos. I'd really like to see things like spotify and ardour3 (when out of beta) in there as soon as i can. How does that work? [08:16] that was the reason i liked aptitude, hah. but now that i know it might be doing weird stuff when i try to run install, i'm not so sure :P [08:16] i did use ubuntu off and on from 5.10 to 11.04 ish [08:16] WhatWhereAmI, that sounds like an awesome expert level IT job ;) [08:16] Snowie: package maintainers and ppas! [08:16] Snowie: i watched the entire star trek TNG series in the office [08:16] WhatWhereAmI, and what does that mean when it's at home [08:16] Snowie: a huge chunk of ubuntu *and derivities* piggy back from debian [08:17] terminhell: haha, i figured out how to change the monitor's input to HDMI and now instead of getting a black screen i get a bright blue screen :P [08:17] amagee: *high five* progress! [08:17] terminhell, the 'spotify linux preview' works great. it should be added imho [08:17] just 2 more colors to go [08:17] yes it's totally not annoying :P [08:18] lol [08:18] Snowie: packages can be submitted to distro maintainers, they decide what they want [08:18] shortly after i was hired my boss left for bangladesh so i was alone in the office for months. he had me putting together an asterisk-based phone system. once i had completed it and transitioned the office to it i was able to rig it to call my cell phone whenever my ext was dialed. i then stopped coming in. [08:18] WhatWhereAmI, well that's productivity in a sense [08:18] Snowie: of course its much more complicated than that, but ya [08:19] terminhell, ok. so if i think something is stable, but i dont maintain (or have anything to do with it) where would i send that? [08:19] Snowie: what's the ardour version you're previewing? [08:19] hellooo again [08:19] Snowie: /dev/null :p [08:19] WhatWhereAmI, 3 beta 5 [08:19] hi i can open google.com but i canoot open this sit [08:19] http://www.bsnl.co.in:9080/opencms/bsnl/BSNL/index.html [08:19] Snowie: put together your own ppa! so other people can use it to install! [08:19] ^^^ [08:20] is this site working [08:20] WhatWhereAmI, they have their own private source that works. that's what i mean, why not just add it officially [08:20] works for me beanpole [08:20] Snowie: politics [08:20] firefox is searching for the page [08:21] but it cannot load [08:21] WhatWhereAmI, http://www.spotify.com/au/download/previews/ [08:21] dns issue possible? [08:21] beanpole: works for me [08:21] hey pls try this piratebay.se [08:21] im trying to setup l2tp/ipsec vpn for my ubuntu server 12.04, but i cannot get it to connect [08:21] the auth log presents the following information http://pastebin.com/P2ejTmBd [08:21] WhatWhereAmI, ahh, politics. great, so the answer is 'when possible', meaning 'probably never' [08:21] I am having a problem installing ubuntu 12, after booting from my usb external drive I get an error saing "failed to partition: /cdrom", if I press continue the instalation gets stuck in detecting system files, [08:22] not sure what the issue is exactly to be honest [08:22] Snowie: it's all about the package maintainer system and a whole process for getting something into the repo. it's not super difficult but a bit of an undertaking. [08:22] even with the help of the log [08:22] piratebay.se and torrentz.eu is not working for me here google is working [08:22] WhatWhereAmI, got any reading material i could have a look at? [08:22] Snowie: its a bit more, convoluted still. Different distros may have a certain outlook, or restricted by packag management (.deb vs .rpm), or a vision,, or goal set by the distro [08:23] why installing a software takes a long time ......4-5 times the normal ........(in unpacking and setting up the package) [08:23] beanpole: can you ping any of these sites? [08:23] how to ping [08:23] killer: are you building source? [08:23] malikmasr: i had to install a specific version of the vpn client to deal with a cisco vpn. are you trying to connect to a cisco vpn? [08:23] im trying to setup a vpn server [08:23] anybody else having updated to unity 5.14 yet. I have a massive focus problem. windows that i go to by alt-tab are not focused! [08:23] terminhell:apt-get install [08:23] terminhell, so i think what im hearing is, ubuntu have a music service, and may not want to add a competitor? [08:24] can someone give me a launchpad id for that? [08:24] beanpole: litterally type ping website.com or any site [08:24] WhatWhereAmI i was working on setting up a L2tp/IPSec vpn on ubuntu 12.04 [08:24] Snowie: probably [08:24] hey i opened youtube.com but it is very slow [08:24] i used the guide from riobard zhan [08:24] the orange status bar is revolving [08:24] malikmasr: oh i see. i don't know if i could help you with that. [08:24] daaaaau [08:25] beanpole: does it look like you're using connections other than your pppoe connection? [08:25] who [08:25] beanpole: you should try to disable other connections. [08:25] nope [08:26] i used sudo pon dsl-provider in terminal [08:26] ah well thanks anyway [08:26] malikmasr: you may want to ask in #archlinux or wait a bit longer for someone in here that knows more on that [08:26] I am having a problem installing ubuntu 12, after booting from my usb external drive I get an error saing "failed to partition: /cdrom", if I press continue the instalation gets stuck in detecting file system [08:26] some sites are not loading dully here' [08:27] ok i will check archlinux and remain in here, thank you so much [08:27] sparklr: you cant partition cd's... [08:27] google yahoo msn is opening fast but these torrent sites are not working [08:27] beanpole: your isp has them blocked [08:27] how to unlock [08:28] get a new isp, or move [08:28] or try a proxy [08:28] Snowie: i don't know about spotify vs ubuntu's cloud offering type politics, but here's some interesting stuff about getting packages into ubuntu in general: http://askubuntu.com/a/16456 [08:28] how to try proxy [08:28] terminhell: well , i am partitioning a external drive, not a CD ROM [08:28] WhatWhereAmI, thanks mate, will check it now [08:28] bites tongue [08:29] haha got the HDMI working after trying it on a different computer and then trying this one again (may have just needed to turn it off and on again? :S ) [08:29] sparklr: then you accidently selected the wrong device [08:29] terminhell: lol [08:29] amagee: i wassss thinking about that, actually, i know fedora also had that problem [08:29] can anyone reccomend a good isp in india [08:30] terminhell: i tired this several times and faced this same problem. I selected the right device [08:30] ok beanpole, seriously, google is going to be your best friend [08:30] terminhell: what was the link you posted before about xrandr? [08:30] kk [08:30] terminhell: you turned this guy's life upside-down [08:31] amagee: ugh, i think...hmm search arch-wiki for dualscreen [08:31] WhatWhereAmI: :0 [08:31] ah yeah that was it, thanks [08:32] dont hate me for linking arch-wiki, its just usually a bit more indepth than anything else i come across [08:32] hello [08:32] hello.

[08:37] yeah [08:37] highest speed here is 8 mbps\ [08:38] which country terminalhell [08:38] Snowie: thanks man, i get odd looks for it to this day, and by the tat guy too [08:38] How can I move my login prompt to, for example, the top left of my screen? I have the wallpaper with the animal-thingy for 12.04 and can't see it during login. [08:38] ghargoil: so just to be clear, you need to configure iptables on the gateway in front of your server to forward some ports [08:38] err, no, on the same server [08:38] there's just one server [08:38] do u guys have any idea about 3g? [08:38] ghargoil: is there a gateway in front of that server such as a router? [08:39] Pangolin, that's what it is! [08:39] nope [08:39] terminhell, i love the comments. they're too nerdie to be funny, but i love them all [08:39] DFrostedWang: im sure theres a slim conf file somehwere [08:39] Anyway, any help with that? [08:39] terminhell, makes me want to check my uptime :P [08:39] ghargoil: okay, and this isn't through some managed hosting environment that would have firewalls in front of it that you don't know about, right? [08:39] brb [08:40] haha [08:40] WhatWhereAmI: nope [08:40] it's one of those, throw you into the pool and you learn how to swim yourself servers [08:40] :p [08:40] then it sounds like you need to forward those ports through iptables. [08:40] ib [08:41] DFrostedWang: why change it? you look at it for all of what, 3 seconds? [08:41] yeah, I just donno how to do it properly :( [08:41] Yeah, but those 3 seconds matter [08:41] I think I also fubared something [08:41] lol [08:41] fair enough DFrostedWang [08:41] I want it to be a perfect distro. Any little thing is a problem. [08:41] And that's why I have Linux [08:41] :D [08:41] WhatWhereAmI: I just ran "iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d --dport 80 -j DNAT --to :9898" [08:41] ghargoil: i assume you did the initial iptables configuration, right? i mean, iptables shouldn't be firewalling everything by default... [08:42] Hello [08:42] I can't find a config file for it [08:42] Grimhound, hello :) [08:42] WhatWhereAmI: this was from http://bit.ly/O4WNtQ [08:42] I need help with something. I have searched for months on and off with no luck. [08:42] DFrostedWang: id google Slim themes, and or editing, atleast i think ubuntu still uses slim [08:42] Actually, I am having trouble finding any config files [08:42] !ask | Grimhound [08:42] WhatWhereAmI: well, I currenly only allow 80 and 443 [08:42] Grimhound: 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 [08:43] DFrostedWang: id start in /etc first [08:43] kk [08:43] ghargoil: but locally you can access the server on 9898, right? [08:43] DFrostedWang: or possibly /boot im not sure where they hide it [08:43] might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:43] The default speaker out connector on my motherboard is broken, so I need to retask another connector to be the speaker out. This is a relatively easy task using the Realtek HD Audio Manager in Windows, but I have no idea how to do this with Linux. [08:43] WhatWhereAmI, sorry, so many distraction here... VirtualBox ... I've never had the issue either, host is 12:04 ad have had no probs win win and other linux guests, so something in LinuxMCE setup itself I'm guessing [08:44] !alsa | Grimhound [08:44] Grimhound: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [08:44] Hi mates. grub related question. Is there any way to detect if device exists? like "if exists(uuid=blah) then default=1 else default=2" [08:44] WhatWhereAmI: yep; well... should I just tell you the long story here? [08:44] Grimhound: good luck. Some propriatary functionality can only be done natively =/ [08:45] It either isn't in /etc/ or Ubuntu no longer uses slim [08:45] hipitihop_: i don't know anything about linuxmce [08:45] find: `slim': No such file or directory [08:45] or you just want the problem without the background/motivations :p [08:45] Grimhound, there is a terminal app that might help, try $ alsamixer [08:45] ghargoil: i think i'm getting the hang of it [08:45] ghargoil: can you telnet to port 80 on localhost? [08:45] You'd think retasking an audio connector would be simple. [08:45] But nope. [08:46] Apparently not. [08:46] I give up on Linux. [08:46] DFrostedWang: try looking in /boot or even /usr [08:46] WhatWhereAmI: err well, right now, no, because I added that last rule to IP tables which I guess fubared it all [08:46] but yeah, I was running a server earlier [08:46] cherokee [08:47] ghargoil: i assume you no longer have that server trying to listen on port 80 [08:47] then complain to the manufacturer grim for writing propriatary stuff... [08:47] he's gone [08:47] another one bites the dust [08:47] i know, just venting [08:47] hah [08:48] i know what he's talking about, it is just a fancy proprietary realtek driver system [08:48] i dont want people like that using linux tbh [08:48] with a really lame gui [08:48] well, you're a purist [08:48] WhatWhereAmI: you mean cherokee? yes, it still is listening to 80 [08:48] but behind the firewall :| [08:48] someone...? :) [08:48] r1seri: dunno, sorry :P [08:48] well, not stallman purist, but sligtly in his court [08:49] r1seri: you might try #grub [08:49] ghargoil: i feel you should pastebin iptables -L [08:50] its an attitude thing. people come over to linux because they here its almost like windows but haz no virusez! then they expect it to work like windoz...then they fail [08:50] WhatWhereAmI, did i shy grimhound away? i dont mean to get in ppls way. U guys are the kings, im just here trying to help out. [08:50] then they wonder why people like me facepalm them to death [08:50] WhatWhereAmI: there is silence [08:51] terminhell, Shouldn't I be modifying unity-greeter? [08:51] r1seri: there often is in irc. [08:51] DFrostedWang: thats what they call it these days eh? sure go for it lol, make backups haha [08:51] honest opinion, am i too agresive in trying to help ppl. should i shy away a bit? [08:51] I will [08:51] I always do [08:51] r1seri: http://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=grub [08:52] for fancier grub support [08:52] Snowie: nah, dont want them thinking no ones in here :p [08:52] hi i want to see the type of my acces point wifi like in windows where i can see if the ap is in g or n how can i see it on ubuntu??? [08:52] k [08:52] laumonier: ip [08:53] In fact, would "cp -r *.conf" or "find / *.conf | cp /home/ubuntu/Documents/" work as a means to do such a thing? [08:53] terminhell, lol. just being here is ok. but i felt like i just offered that guy something to read, which is what i normally get, and he just left. 'too hard' done [08:53] r1seri: that's assuming nobody here knows enough about grub to answer your question. you might also try #linux or something. [08:53] Something like that, anyway. [08:53] Snowie: they have to be willing to put in some amount of effort, but you can't have unrealistic expectations either. [08:54] a lot of people don't realize these aren't official customer support reps. [08:54] they don't understand the difference. [08:54] exactly [08:54] WhatWhereAmI, yeah, that's why i went to gui add repo for that spotify one. I work it out. might just get less Ubottu on ppl [08:54] ##linux is full of *@#!@# [08:54] i believe in education over hand holding [08:54] They don't help much [08:55] hi i want to see the type of my acces point wifi like in windows where i can see if the ap is in g or n how can i see it on ubuntu??? ive tried network-manager wicd and iwlist but none of them have this option [08:55] terminhell: that's like one of the major tenants of linux and open source in general [08:56] WhatWhereAmI: http://pastebin.com/az4egeWz [08:56] laumonier: let me see if i can figure that out for you... i would like to know as well [08:56] I'm back [08:56] YO [08:56] Had to boot up the LiveDVD to see if anything could work. [08:56] WhatWhereAmI: I dont see the entry for the PREROUTING Chain :( [08:56] WhatWhereAmI, i know right, im here on my sat night because i want to be, and i have 'post-noob' skill [08:56] ghargoil: you using ufw? [08:56] tru.dat [08:56] yeah [08:56] #ubuntu-pl: [08:56] linux mint or ubuntu? [08:56] err [08:56] gentoo [08:56] except that I tried doing that one iptables command which was a mistake [08:56] :( [08:56] gentoo too hard- [08:57] i thought we were typingrandom distro's :p [08:57] it was the iptables command from http://bit.ly/O4WNtQ [08:57] So how do I use this salsamixer thing? [08:57] ghargoil: ya i saw that. i would see if you can duplicate that in ufw somehow... [08:57] Grimhound: lol [08:58] hurray Grimhound [08:58] Yes, funny intended. [08:58] Grimhound, ok. it's command line based, so i assume you have a terminal with 'alsamixer' running? [08:58] no, applauding your not giving up [08:58] Yep. [08:58] Grimhound, do you see other out's for audio? [08:58] Uh.. I don't know what I'm looking at. [08:59] WhatWhereAmI: I'd just like to undo that command first :( [08:59] because now I cant access anything [08:59] Grimhound, ok, sec, let me open mine [08:59] I see: Master, S/PDIF C, S/PDIF F, S/PDIF R, S/PDIF U, Analog C, Analog F [08:59] wait [08:59] WhatWhereAmI: nevermind, thats been fixed!! [08:59] :D [08:59] ubuntu or mint [09:00] which is best [09:00] Grimhound, you should be able to push left/right and choose all the outputs [09:00] so just the matter of running Google Wave behind a firewall :| [09:00] !best [09:00] 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. [09:00] dont you !best me [09:00] how dare you [09:00] Snowie: And how do I switch them around? [09:00] !bested [09:01] but seriously jeffrey its up to you [09:01] Snowie: My goal is to change the main speaker out from "default" to "not-default" [09:01] consider the GUI's, default applications, codecs (mint comes with) [09:01] Because the default is borked. [09:01] Grimhound, so you are looking to make a different jack the default. hit f6 and see what you get. does that help you? [09:02] Snowie: 0 CA0106, 1 HDA Intel, 2 HD-Audio Generic [09:02] jeffrey: honestly get both if you can, run the livecd's of them for a little while, then decide [09:02] laumonier: try running iwconfig [09:02] terminhell, sounds good [09:02] laumonier: sorry, sudo iwconfig [09:02] I have a problem: I can't run Ubuntu on my HP Pavillion DV9000. I've tried Wubi, which installs but doesn't start when selecting "Ubuntu" from the boot menu, and I've tried Ubuntu Live on a USB memory (both 32 and 64 bits) which hangs on "ftrace: allocation [x] entries in [y] pages" (I removed the "quiet" option to be able to see this). Where should I start looking? A couple of searches on Google gave me nothing, basically since the ftrac [09:03] I have a sound card in the computer for emergency purposes while doing this, but I want the motherboard audio to work since the soundcard is old to the point where it creates major issues. [09:03] laumonier: your bit rate will determine your wifi standard [09:03] for IPTables videos that might help look up Configuring and Implementing Linux_s iptables - Part 1 in google and then watch them all 1-4 might help give a better idea [09:04] Grimhound, so the motherboard card has how may audio outs? [09:04] Snowie: Selected HDI Intel. Seems to be the right one. [09:04] HDA* [09:04] is there anyway to get chromium to use the standard window manager? [09:04] jeffrey: go with ubuntu and mate :) [09:04] Snowie: Should be 6 [09:04] Grimhound: i'm pretty sure i know what you're talking about, you have one of those Realtek HD audio mobos with like six colored eigth-inch jacks, right? one is busted, and you want to use another one? [09:04] Grimhound, yeah, it will be, but having a look, i don't think i have you in the right place [09:04] Well, 6 connectors [09:04] jeffrey: yes, its in the under the hood i think [09:05] WhatWhereAmI: Exactly [09:05] WhatWhereAmI, terminhell , but i want to check the type of all wifi in range not the one i am connected [09:05] laumonier: one sec [09:05] he could use aircrack [09:05] terminhell: i'm pretty sure iwlist is the solution to laumonier's problem [09:06] mother of god this theme is sexy [09:06] WhatWhereAmI, will admit im toast about here. thought this might be simple. do you know how this is done? [09:06] that or airodump-ng start wlan0 [09:06] laumonier: you can see what bitrates are supported by found networks by running sudo iwlist scanning === jaco is now known as Guest24123 [09:06] jeffrey: welcome to linux :p === Guest24123 is now known as jaco_ [09:07] but it won't give you a fancy a/b/g/n type readout [09:07] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/ambiance-squared-frees-your-apps-from-jagged-window-borders [09:08] Wait [09:08] Hmm [09:08] Grimhound: so here's the thing [09:09] WhatWhereAmI, on iwlist i just have 802.1x that do not inform me on what i want otherwise it would have been 802.11g or 802.11n [09:09] WhatWhereAmI: Please don't let the thing be upsetting. [09:09] the reason this was so easy to do in windows is because realtek wrote a proprietary driver that allowed you to manually remap any of the outputs. [09:09] Grimhound, apoligies and out of your way man. I assumed the options were in alsamixer, i was wrong. sorry man [09:10] laumonier: the bit rate is what your looking for. compare them with the a/b/g/n standards of bitrates [09:10] unity sucks but i like the store and update manager it uses [09:10] dammit i lost my sentence [09:10] jeffrey: then use gnome-shell, or kde, xfce4, etc [09:11] laumonier, for looking at others wifi look up Kismet I think thats the package your looking for [09:11] WhatWhereAmI: So, is there any way to do this? [09:11] Grimhound: basically that stuff doesn't run in linux obviously. it's possible to duplicate, but it's way more complicated because it's all manual. it look like this basically: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Recipes/ActiveSpeakerCrossoverLADSPA [09:11] if i install cinnamon de, will i still have the ubuntu software store? or will it switch to the cinnamon software store [09:11] i can see if i can make that a bit simpler, but i have to brb [09:12] jeffrey: no cin store [09:12] @jeffrey The Ubuntu Software Center will still be there [09:12] Grimhound: you should be able to do this in Sound Settings from the control panel/speaker icon [09:13] there, you should find a drop down menu for Output devices [09:13] Grimhound: then in the Hardware tab [09:13] Grimhound: cycle thru those till one works [09:14] !next [09:14] terminhell: To be completely honest, I'm using Mint and seeking help here because Mint is built off of Ubuntu. Not sure if things are the same. [09:14] BestBot is pretty neat. :D [09:14] But how can it not know the word Winblows? [09:14] the base apps are the same [09:14] for the most [09:14] they both are built on debian [09:14] Unity is pretty awesome [09:14] :D [09:14] Just give it a chance [09:15] I did. After the 11.10 debacle, it got better. [09:15] Grimhound: i remember even mint having that Speaker icon in the panel, it should have a Sound Settings option [09:16] terminhell: How do I take a screenshot of the current window? [09:16] ctrl+prtscrn [09:16] *alt [09:16] Grimhound, jsut prt scr [09:16] Printscreen isn't working. :| [09:17] !screenshot [09:17] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [09:17] check your Pictures folder [09:17] I am able to install a certain package (in this case, Grip) on my Kubuntu laptop (apt-cache policy grip yields "Installed: 3.3.1-17~ppall1") but not on my Kubuntu desktop. How do I find out from which repository the package was installed, to make sure I enable the same repository on my desktop? [09:17] Then again, could be because I'm trying to resolve this on a LiveDVD before I commit anything. Sigh. @.@ [09:17] I overcomplicate things. [09:17] Actually, inky.ws is better, in my opinion. You can paste images and text on there. [09:18] .................. [09:18] that changes a lot [09:18] how do i record audio with glc if im using pulseaudio? [09:18] *facepalm [09:18] I want to figure out if the issue can be resolved before I commit to installing anything. [09:19] understandable [09:19] are you not seeing a Sound Setting anywhere? [09:19] Okay. Sound Preferences/Hardware/Build-in Audio reads as 1 Output, 1 Input Analog Stereo Duplex [09:19] any software that i can use to tweak gpu speeds? [09:19] gpu fan speeds* [09:19] jeffrey: nvidia? [09:20] not sure jeffrey [09:20] Grimhound, the worst thing is, the liveCD/DVD will often work flawlessly, and then fail to even start in my experience. they are not the same thing for these "niggling" issues [09:20] WhatWhereAmI, yes [09:20] terminhell, forgot to thank you for your help earlier, ty [09:20] What software can I use to change my fan speed? This may be a BIOS issue, but it worked in Winblows. Now I can't even tell that it's on. Maybe it isn't on. IDK. Any suggestions? [09:20] Under the "Settings for the selected device:" thing, it lists a series of things. Digital Stereo Input, Analog Stereo Input, Analog Surround (tons of them for all forms of surround sound) [09:20] jeffrey: i assume you're using the proprietary driver. pretty much anything you can configure will be in nvidia-settings [09:20] That sort of thing [09:20] because often a lot of livecd's come with drivers that dont install for some reason... [09:21] which is the best torrent site for ubuntu download? [09:21] Grimhound: change those, till one works (hopefully_ [09:21] animus123: ubuntu.com [09:21] WhatWhereAmI, yes, im in the settings under thermal, but nothing to control the fan speed, it display the temp and speed though [09:21] terminhell: Those are just profiles, though [09:21] kwtm2: apt-cache policy package, I think [09:21] jeffrey: that's all i know [09:21] try it anyways [09:21] Nicekiwi:okkkkkkkkk [09:22] and make sure its the OUTPUT [09:22] kwtm2: Sorry if I am late replying, #ubuntu-meta just pinged me about your question. [09:23] my external hdd shows up in lsusb and in fdisk, but I can't get it to mount, any suggestions? [09:23] Mkaysi: Do you mean, like, "apt-cache policy grip", as given in my question? [09:23] terminhell: These are just profiles for different audio settings [09:23] kwtm2: Yes, I think that it shows where the package has been installed [09:23] Not for which jacks are being used. [09:23] Grimhound: your right, im tired =/ [09:23] jeffrey, http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/09/how-to-overclock-nvidia-graphics-cards.html [09:23] Grimhound, i havnt been able to find an article to achieve changing a single physical output to be the default rather than another. [09:23] Mkaysi: Thanks anyway. I will keep looking for the answer. [09:23] hi folks... i just fresh-installed ubuntu 12.4 on an Ideapad s205 minibook. Everything works awesomely, but my bluetooth does not show up [09:24] Grimhound: at this point, i'd try some google or ask in #archlinux [09:24] i mean, no adapter is discovered, and bluetooth managers thus crash in both kde and lxde [09:24] Grimhound, +1 to terminhell [09:24] Serious question. I have something listed as Barts HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6800 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI) [09:24] Is there any way to make use of that? [09:25] Grimhound: does your video card have HDMI out? [09:25] I've been curious about the whole sound thing my video card has. [09:25] it works [09:25] Grimhound, does ur pc and monitor have hdmi in/out? [09:25] if you can connect it via hdmi cable [09:25] Grimhound: HDMI can carry both video and audio [09:26] Pretty sure my video card does have an HDMI out [09:26] Grimhound: you should use that :P [09:26] But I don't know how HDMI works [09:26] then theres a chance! [09:26] And my speakers are analogue [09:26] how do i record audio with glc if im using pulseaudio? [09:26] analog* [09:26] Whatever [09:26] lol, WhatWhereAmI, terminhell , too many cooks :P but plenty of help [09:26] does your monitor have speakers? or a headphone jack? [09:27] I need your help. gparted froze when moving a partition to the left. What can I do now? [09:27] kwtm2, the repository from where the package was downloaded is not stored (dpkg doesn't even know about repositories) [09:27] im thinking this soup has too much salt [09:27] My speakers plug into the green jack and use USB power [09:27] Grimhound: you can't use the hdmi audio with your analog speakers [09:27] My monitor? [09:27] My monitor has speakers, but they're terrible [09:27] Grimhound: the HDMI audio is for an integrated device, like your monitor [09:28] ... [09:28] Grimhound: i'm still looking into using your mobo audio [09:28] Why even bother with that? [09:28] The integrated monitor audio, I mean [09:28] why not bother to get a new sound card [09:28] I have a Sound Blaster Live 24-bit [09:28] But it seems like certain programs despise it [09:28] exactly [09:29] Deber, ok, froze, or did you just exit it before it was done? [09:29] Snowie: no, I didn't exit it yet [09:29] Snowie: it's taking 10 hours already, though, and still at the same point [09:29] In Windows, Fallout 3 won't play half its sounds through the SoundBlaster [09:30] No idea why. [09:30] Sounds like the busted port goes beyond that one [09:30] Snowie: it says: copy 390.55 GiB using a block size of 1 MiB, but doesn't do anything. Not even the "Details" button works [09:30] ..but in other games it works fine...moot point on my self >.< [09:31] Then again, yeah. Fallout 3 is utterly fucking retarded about its audio. [09:31] It's tied to Windows at the hip. [09:31] sorry to interupt the party, can anybody help me to get my bluetooth up, please? [09:31] Deber: because its ran out of cache on the hdd my guess [09:31] Hey. I have a Broadcom BCM4306/2 wifi card, and I installed the b43legacy driver to get it working. However, it's super slow, and I keep getting the error message in dmesg: "b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error". Any ideas? [09:31] Note, I have googled and nothing has worked. [09:31] terminhell: so what can I do? [09:31] i use windows for fallout :( [09:31] Deber: not copy such HUGE amounts at once [09:32] terminhell: well, I just moved the partition to another sector [09:32] yay i solved! [09:32] terminhell: the better question is, how can I restore the data? [09:32] pretty simple [09:32] set root="" [09:32] search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root $uuid [09:32] if [ -z "${root}" ] ; then [09:32] set default="$id" [09:32] fi [09:32] and now it has to rewrite nearly 400gigs of data [09:32] r1seri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:32] catphish, try playonlinux for your fallout and see if that works [09:33] Seryth: does it have a bluetooth button/switch/fn key combo on it? [09:33] hey what is the command to register a channel [09:33] LordFDisk: is that a wine wrapper? [09:33] yes [09:34] thats cool, might give it a go [09:34] Deber: wait, when you say sector... [09:34] Deber: do you mean partition? [09:34] blablabla: #freenode [09:34] though i might keep my one windows install until i've played borderlands 2 :) [09:34] terminhell: What do you mean? [09:34] !ot | blablabla [09:34] blablabla: #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! [09:34] terminhell: what I did on gparted was grow a partition, but the unallocated space was BEFORE the partition, so it moved it. [09:34] how do i see the names of my audio devices in terminal? a list? [09:34] catphish, I hope that it works for ya [09:34] terminhell, you agree that this will just take a huge amount of time at 390G when moving on the same disk and retaining data on the SAME disk [09:34] thanks LordFDisk i'll check it out [09:35] Snowie: yes, if not crash period [09:35] Grimhound: i feel like your audio card may actually work better with linux, because your windows programs will no longer actually see it directly [09:35] Grimhound: also, i'm pretty sure this is what we want: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules#module-remap-sink [09:35] just fyi [09:35] Deber: right, it has to move all of that data on the partition around now === blablabla is now known as kaliacrow [09:36] terminhell: but it locked up [09:36] terminhell: Which will take ages on the same disk, as Snowie stated before. [09:36] is there any way to disable unity and use the traditional panel? [09:36] or will i need a new de? [09:36] Deber: i would literally sleep on it and come back in the morning [09:37] Deber: and disable suspend/screensavers [09:37] terminhell: that's what I did. And the harddisk doesn't blink anymore, meaning... no activity [09:37] Deber, it now has to move info, one chunk at a time, on the same disk, 390G worth, that will take time. [09:37] terminhell: there was no suspend/screensaver [09:37] !notunity | jeffrey [09:37] jeffrey: 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 [09:37] i actually wanted to ask about an odd issue i've been having with disk IO suddenly, i'm running 10.04.4 (32), and recently i get sudden huge burts of disk IO at the same time as the application i'm using (usually firefox) totally hanging, it seems exactly like the symptoms of swap thrashing, but i have 3G of free RAM [09:37] Snowie: the harddisk doesn't blink. and it already took 12h in total, but the first 2h it still did stuff [09:37] after about 10 seconds everything recovers === HardFu_|AFK is now known as HardFu_ [09:37] If Ihave installed ubuntu on a single partition from windows using wubi, can I later expand that partition size from windows, then expand my linux disk space somehow? [09:37] Deber: then its crashed, and well, idk. See if you can possibly cancel the operation [09:38] jeffrey, just choose that option on start. it's in the gui options on boot [09:38] terminhell: I can't, gparted froze. SIGKILL? [09:38] Grimhound: could you pastebin the contents of /etc/pulse/default.pa ? [09:38] i smell an fschk... [09:38] WhatWhereAmI: How do I get that? [09:38] CDrone: no, wubi is a farce install [09:39] terminhell, ;) [09:39] terminhell: farce? [09:39] what do you mena? [09:39] mean* [09:39] Deber: was an OS on this data? [09:39] Deber: Did you create a backup before running gparted? [09:39] Deber: more importantly your root partition? [09:39] bekks: that probably wasn't so intelligent, but this IS my backup drive [09:39] well i am facing a big problem with my splash shutdown screen.i.e a different colors of Strips appearing on my desk?does anybody have any conclusion about my problem? [09:39] terminhell: no there wasn't [09:40] ok phew....... [09:40] i tried just now the 2d desktop, but its still there [09:40] Hi all, I've installed 12.04 with bad dns server settings. I see that editing /etc/resolv.conf is no longer proper. I added nameserver lines to /etc/resolv.conf.d/base and removed /etc/resolv.conf.d/original (which had a bad 192.168 nameserver line). Then I ran resolvconf -u The new nameserver lines now show up in /etc/resolv.conf, but so does the bad 192.168 one. Can anyone tell me where it is still getting that bad value? [09:40] Grimhound: open up Text Editor, or gedit, and then just do file -> open. copy that and pastebin it. [09:40] !paste [09:40] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:40] Deber: So you have to original data on another drive, then? [09:40] CDrone: it creates an image that it bootstraps into. instead of actually partitioning your physical drive [09:40] bekks: no. [09:40] bekks: I can't re-create this data === rico is now known as mi3 [09:41] WhatWhereAmI: Figured that out right as you said it. [09:41] Deber: Then you have no backup, and no backup-drive. [09:41] :D [09:41] bekks: no, it must be fixable, the data is still there [09:41] it's just 20% moved or so [09:41] terminhell: so what if i want to expand harddisk allocation for my currrent ubuntu installation, any alternative? [09:41] Deber: you'll have to run an fschk on it unmounted [09:41] g/l with that much data [09:41] jeffrey, there should be a traditional option on boot. that's what your after for standard gnome [09:41] terminhell: I can't mount the partition I moved, so, I can't run it mounted [09:41] CDrone: actually install it... [09:42] WhatWhereAmI: http://pastebin.ca/2175367 [09:42] how can I mount my external usb hdd permanently? [09:42] i didn't have a DVD backthen [09:42] Deber: "It must be" - thats simply not true. In worst case, you have noc chance anymore to reassemble the data in the semantically correct order. [09:42] lol [09:42] bekks: the data is still there. [09:42] just not on the right position [09:42] someone ought to package a pastebin binary so you can pastebin a config file in one line [09:43] WhatWhereAmI, afaik it is just kubuntu 10:04 but no idea what else is setup internaly as it want to route and be dhcp etc [09:43] >.< try to run an fschk on the entire drive then [09:43] !info pastebinit | catphish [09:43] catphish: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

True story. [09:46] kwtm2, you're welcome [09:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q42kZ53KPhk [09:46] Nicekiwi, what info are you looking for exactly? [09:46] Grimhound: http://pastebin.ca/2175368 [09:46] Grimhound: this is changed slightly [09:46] well guys, i must attempt 'sleep' i think its referred too [09:47] ah wrong one, here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQOkMz3kiS0 [09:47] but i fear ill end up suspending [09:47] terminhell, nit bud [09:47] WhatWhereAmI: Changed how, exactly? [09:47] Grimhound: what you want to do is copy the text out of the box at the bottom, so you don't get the line numbers [09:47] nightwish: terminhell [09:47] please, give me some clue at least! What an I do if Bt adapter has not been discovered? [09:48] *throws hundred dollar bills in the air* Citizens, THAT IS ALL [09:48] lol, see ya terminhell [09:48] WhatWhereAmI: Hmm. The file isn't allowing me to alter it. [09:48] Grimhound: i've commented out some auto-detection stuff because we're gonna configure your audio manually. then on lines 52-54 i'm attempting to manually map some of your audio channels. [09:48] anyone here familiar with L2TP/IPSec? [09:48] Grimhound: ya, i'll show you how [09:48] Grimhound: close gedit for now [09:48] im having some trouble setting it up on ubuntu server [09:48] Grimhound: now hit alt+f2 and you'll see a prompt at the top [09:48] !bluetooth [09:48] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [09:49] I have two ethernet interfaces, why every time i restart network one of them do down?? "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" [09:49] WhatWhereAmI: I have pluma rather than gedit [09:49] oh [09:49] !bluetooth | VanKush [09:49] VanKush: please see above [09:49] well, whatever [09:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115305/ [09:49] the error i get is on line 12 [09:49] WhatWhereAmI: Alright. [09:49] hit alt+f2 then type in "gksu pluma" [09:49] and hit enter [09:50] Has anyone been able to get evolution to sync contacts with a gmail account with 2 factor authentication? I can't get it to prompt me for the password, it just fails. [09:50] so, I moved a partition. I can still access and mount the partition now after a fsck. But the data that didn't get moved yet is still somewhere else, so how do I get that data back? do a full fsck? [09:50] does anybody know the name of IRC channel,where the ui related problem solve ? [09:50] Grimhound: wtf is pluma anyway [09:50] WhatWhereAmI: Then just modify and save. Gotcha. [09:50] WhatWhereAmI: The text editor that ships with Mint, apparently. [09:50] k [09:50] so, then we need to restart pulse and confirm it doesn't crash horribly [09:51] open up a terminal [09:51] and do [09:51] sudo killall pulseaudio [09:51] Snowie: im trying to record audio with GLC and pulseaudio.. [09:51] head_victim, i use gmail in the browser with Unity Mail. you can find it in the repos. And no, i couldnt get much of anything google to work with evolution, which is why i went web [09:51] in theory, pulse should restart automatically, assuming we didn't break it [09:52] "Waiting for sound system to respond..." [09:52] Snowie: I use it in the browser as my mail method, I use evolution as a convenient hard drive backup of the account. [09:52] how do i enable/disable sys tray items? [09:52] !fstab | SecretFire [09:52] SecretFire: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:52] Grimhound: now run ps auxf |grep pulse [09:52] Still waiting... [09:52] Snowie: I have everything else (calendar & email) working fine. [09:53] WhatWhereAmI: I think it might be dead. [09:53] Nicekiwi, and when you try to do that, what is the problem that you have? [09:53] WhatWhereAmI: mint 4388 0.0 0.0 13576 928 pts/0 S+ 09:53 0:00 | \_ grep --colour=auto pulse [09:53] Snowie: it dosnt record any audio [09:54] WhatWhereAmI: And the last "pulse" is red. [09:54] Grimhound: tail /var/log/syslog [09:54] pastebin that [09:54] WhatWhereAmI: http://pastebin.ca/2175370 [09:55] Nicekiwi, so it looks like it will work, but then doesnt. what application are you using to try and record audio? does it work in any other app? [09:56] Mkaysi: My apologies! You were right! [09:56] head_victim, does this help? https://one.ubuntu.com/help/tutorial/install-and-setup-contacts-sync/ [09:56] Snowie: thanks for a try, I went through it, $ hcitool dev -> shows nothing [09:56] Grimhound: throw this in there instead: http://pastebin.ca/2175371 [09:56] Snowie: trying with minecraft atm.. [09:56] hellp [09:56] hello [09:57] Mkaysi: apt-cache policy DOES show the repository from which a package was installed ... except in my case, where it didn't, because I didn't install it from a repository! I had the deb file sitting in my downloads directory and I did a "sudo dpkg -i" on it. [09:57] WhatWhereAmI: And now what? [09:57] Mkaysi: Took me forever to figure out it was just sitting on my drive and I didn't need to fetch it from the web. Thanks for your help. [09:57] i have a problem with my ubuntu [09:57] Snowie: not really, I guess I've answered my own question though, every time I ask a specific question everyone keeps trying to push me into doing it other ways. So I guess that means it's not likely to work. [09:57] you saved it again? [09:58] Yep [09:58] Grimhound: sudo killall pulseaudio [09:58] ubuntu dash is empty [09:58] Grimhound: tail /var/log/syslog [09:58] WhatWhereAmI: pulseaudio: no process found [09:58] does it say anything about errors? [09:58] kwtm2, apt-cache policy does *not* show which repo a package was installed from but which repo it is available in [09:58] head_victim, i think that means there are BETTER ways of doing it [09:58] how to solve my problem [09:58] oh [09:58] oh yeah, you need to restart manually [09:58] um [09:59] glebihan: I see. You are right. [09:59] glebihan: sure its also showing which repo is the source if the package is installed [09:59] Snowie: I konw the other ways exist, for my purposes this is the best way. [09:59] just do [09:59] pulseaudio [09:59] iceroot, not really, it's just version-matching [10:00] whatwhereami: Fialed to load mofule, initialization failed, module load failed, failed to initialize daemon, etc [10:00] glebihan: yes [10:00] hello [10:00] Failed to load module* [10:00] Agh [10:00] can you help me? [10:00] okay [10:00] one sec [10:00] !helpme | chiefree [10:00] chiefree: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [10:00] glebihan: which normally fits for the needs but you are right [10:00] head_victim, Gmail = completely backed up email/contacts/calendar over the web with easy setup and browser access. I really am genuinely interested in your needs, and how they are not covered by this? [10:00] iceroot, I agree that it normally fits the need, but weird things can happen when using PPAs [10:00] I am absolutely LOVING ubuntu-tweak. Why is this not in the repositories?

[10:01] Neat [10:01] WhatWhereAmI: What good will that do if we couldn't even test the other one because PA wouldn't restart? [10:01] Snowie: I want a local backup of my account? [10:02] Grimhound: once we can get PA starting, you can just plug your speakers in and see if any of the jacks work [10:02] we can work backward from there [10:02] http://uppix.net/d/d/5/0951ea59b12c11e0e241c6e08fb81.png [10:02] Entered pulseaudio into Terminal. No response. [10:02] cool [10:02] head_victim, so you have tried http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Make_a_Local_Backup_Of_Your_Gmail_Account [10:02] Snowie: the thing is, I can get the email and calendaring stuff working easy with the 2 factor authentication so I figured the contacts would be as well. I figured I just didn't have the right tick box checked somewhere or something. Apparently contacts are the one thing not working in evolution. [10:03] tail /var/log/syslog [10:03] Terminal seems locked now [10:03] oh hah [10:03] that's okay [10:03] ubuntu dash is empty [10:03] Not giving me a prompt for any more commands. [10:03] leave it for now [10:03] Is gimp2.8 in repos yet? [10:03] Seryth no [10:03] is there a permissions group I can assign a directory to make it 100% accessable to all users on the system?

I think that evolution is on it's last legs. even mozilla are stepping back from it. if you really want a local backup. try http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=24911 [10:04] hit alt+f2 and type pavucontrol [10:04] and hit enter [10:05] Huh [10:05] chiefree: you mean the ugly osx style? [10:05] chiefree: I think your problem is that there is overcrowding in the city. [10:05] The only output device being seen by Pavu is the Soundblaster [10:05] hi, when I use command cp copy large files, it is somehow slow, how can i make i faster? [10:05] IIINTERESTING [10:05] hm [10:05] play some audio [10:05] let's see what happens [10:05] chiefree: You need to build more superhighways. Okay, I'm joking, but ... WHAT is the problem? What do you expect, and what are you getting instead? [10:05] WhatWhereAmI: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:06] WhatWhereAmI: Nothing [10:06] Grimhound: do you see the levels moving in pavucontrol? [10:06] ubuntu dash become empty after i update ubuntu [10:06] hello, I have an app. that uses sh file to start and I want it to start automatically when system boots. am using ubuntu server 12.04 [10:07] chiefree: thats a feature [10:07] !boot | cutout33 [10:07] cutout33: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [10:07] WhatWhereAmI: Yep. [10:07] However [10:07] Not there is no motherboard outputs or inputs detected by the system [10:07] Grimhound: start plugging your speakers into different jacks [10:07] try all of them [10:07] audio on supertuxcart isent working :( [10:08] WhatWhereAmI: There is no motherboard output/inputs being detected by the system itself. [10:08] Grimhound: did you install jackd server? [10:08] i hear you [10:08] Everything is piping into SoundBlaster [10:08] Grimhound: that's because of the configuration we changed [10:08] iceroot: I dont think that is what am looking for! am looking for starting an application when ubuntu starts [10:09] ok, I want to restore icons on ubuntu dash. Plz [10:09] 1 [10:09] So we're a step back, where now the system doesn't even recognize the thing it needs to. x_x [10:09] Grimhound: if you plug the speakers into your soundblaster, is there audio? [10:09] Yes [10:10] There has always been audio from the Soundblaster [10:10] awesome [10:10] okay [10:10] in the pulseaudio configuration [10:11] you wanna find line 52, the load-module line that contains device=hw:0 [10:11] q [10:11] you should change it to device=hw:1 [10:11] then save it [10:11] The default.pa thing? [10:11] ya [10:12] how do i customize the system tray icons [10:12] WhatWhereAmI: Done and saved [10:12] then go to the terminal tab running pulseaudio [10:12] hit ctrl+c to stop it, then run pulseaudio again [10:12] hopefully it starts like it did before [10:12] E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. [10:12] E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. [10:12] then close and reopen pavucontrol [10:12] HM [10:13] sudo killall pulseaudio [10:13] then run pulseaudio again [10:13] then restart pavucontrol [10:14] WhatWhereAmI: Now Pavucontrol only shoulds Built-In Audio [10:14] shows* [10:14] coooool [10:14] God damnit, brain. Get on the ball. [10:14] restart whatever you were using to play audio [10:14] then start playing it again [10:14] confirm you see levels moving in pavucontrol [10:15] then begin moving around your speakers in the jacks [10:18] any luck? [10:18] so ubuntu is unity gtk3, right? [10:19] WhatWhereAmI: Indeed [10:19] ya? [10:19] WhatWhereAmI: Orange jack. [10:19] hot damn [10:19] i'm a fuckin genius [10:19] WhatWhereAmI: Top right [10:19] do they sound right? [10:19] No idea [10:19] hello all [10:20] haha [10:20] so how do i get the tradtional gtk theme [10:20] I don't have the sound card available to compare anymore. :P [10:20] hah [10:20] we can probably turn all that junk back on [10:21] http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/microsoft-unexpectedly-ships-a-new-version-of-skype-for-linux/11229 i know im late but i about freaked when i saw this i guess ms has to start noticing linux -_- [10:21] W [10:22] J #ubuntu-offtopic [10:22] J #ubuntu [10:24] Grimhound: you wanna mess with trying to get your PA back to an optimal state? [10:24] WhatWhereAmI: Been procedurally emailing myself a log of everything being done so I can later check it out and replicate it. [10:24] oh okay cool [10:24] good plan [10:24] WhatWhereAmI: Probably a good idea. Where would I start with that. [10:24] let me whip you up a quick config [10:24] WhatWhereAmI: Would like to compare, but everything sounds solid.

[12:37] DarkSim: last suggestion; change the theme [12:38] When I install multiple language packs, in my case GB English, Dutch, Swedish and Japanese, both command shell and UI (Unity/ GTK) messages become mixed. When I select Dutch (my native language) and I make a typo on the command line in bash, I get a Japanese error :-S [12:39] Darkasakerionz: The Bash Advanced Scripting Guide explains everything you need to know in a quite comprehensive way. [12:39] Meris: hah, that's pretty funny. [12:39] bekks, thanks [12:40] alankila, well, for me it is funny, but for other users of my machine it becomes baffling as they don't understand a single word of Japanese [12:41] Meris: well, it's a comical usability failure for sure. Picking some random installed locale and using that text instead of showing the fallback text is very creative. [12:41] well, since i'm here [12:41] llutz: , BluesKaj : so does that output means it's picking it up or not? [12:41] i'm having an odd problem [12:41] cfhowlett: Where do I find that, searched through all settings [12:41] obviously i am still online [12:41] after I updated to 12LTS my wi fi stops working properly [12:41] but conky shows i have no public ip address [12:41] Meris: I imagine the process works like this: gettext(x): scans x for every locale, preferring the primary locale, prints first match that found, and if no match for x, prints x itself (which is usually in English) [12:42] DarkSim: settings>appearance>style [12:42] and my browser wont connect to any site [12:42] cfhowlett: I already changed that, didn't do anything [12:42] this seems to happen sporadicly [12:42] DarkSim: sorry, I'm out of ideas then. [12:42] I read somewhere about all bars being diffrent programs or something, maybe it just didn't load them [12:43] alankila, so if I understand you correctly there is a list of messages in human-readable format? If so, where can I find this list so I might edit it? [12:43] Xfce was the closest thing I've been to Windows-esque enviroment, sadly it works as good as glue for candy [12:43] Boogeyman, have you contact irc.freenode.net ? [12:43] cfhowlett: Do you think Xubuntu channel can answer about Xfce [12:44] Boogeyman, i have a channel ' #conky' [12:44] DarkSim: couldn't hurt to ask. [12:44] kronen: it's difficult to tell unless you post the the results of lspci as well [12:44] pastebin rather [12:44] DarkSim, I think that Icewm is a bit more similar to a Windows UI than Xfce. [12:45] Meris: Is it lightweight? [12:45] how do I reg for this ch and nicksev says LordFDisk is not awaiting authorization. [12:45] BluesKaj: installing pastebinit - will post in a moment [12:46] Meris: eh, who knows. I imagine you need to learn how the gettext library works and then see if you can tweak it and then work out maybe how to change it [12:47] hey guys, I have a fresh install of 12.04, but there is no eth0. lspci and lsmod list Realtek 8139 device and module as installed and loaded though, what's going on? [12:47] imho if gettext really does scan through all installed langauge files looking for translations when it can't find the primary translation, then it's actually harmful, as you have personally seen. [12:47] ifconfig only shows loopback [12:47] Darksim, icewm is pretty lightweight, but also quite ugly imho. If you go for lightweight + Windows likeness, go for Lubuntu instead. LXDE along with it's toolbar on the bottom looks very similar to a Windows UI. LXDE is more moder and even more leightweight than Xfce [12:47] BluesKaj: output of lspci -vv at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115532/ [12:47] hi [12:48] Darkain, moder => modern [12:48] its not a problem with conky, and i dont understand what you mean by contact freenode [12:48] i can not find xchat gnome channel [12:48] Boogeyman, I mean enter your ask in '#conky' channel [12:49] hihu: #gnome === Kitarst_ is now known as Kitar|st [12:49] thank u cfhowlete [12:49] i'm still connected to freenode, dalnet and anonnet, qtorrent is still uploading, and empathy is still connected [12:50] but my browser wont connect to any sites [12:50] is there a command that connects eth0 with the module? [12:50] Boogeyman, which browser do you use ? [12:51] Opera [12:51] Meris: I'm quite the beginner when it comes to Linux and Ubuntu, when you say Lubuntu, and things like Xubuntu. Does that mean a new OS or just Ubuntu with a default DE? [12:51] Hexeon: try net-config [12:51] i also cant ping anything from terminal [12:51] kronen: any Idea how old that promise card is ? [12:51] or netconfig, can't remember [12:51] Meris: try looking into the language settings inside the preferences panel. Apparently you can adjust language ordering there, perhaps you can move Japanese under English [12:51] DarSim, it's just Ubuntu with a differen DE [12:52] BluesKaj: we bought it with the computer, in the last year [12:52] alankila, I'll try that thanks :-) [12:52] ok [12:52] Meris: this is in unity though [12:52] * alankila doesn't know how this setting is communicated to other programs if it indeed is [12:53] i can access my modem through the browser, but not the router, in browser [12:53] and i cant ping either through terminal [12:53] alankila, found it and applied it. Thx again :-D [12:53] Meris: it helped? [12:54] Boogeyman: if you can't even see the router, I doubt you're online [12:54] Meris: Is Lxde newer than Xfce, juding the appearence I'd say otherwise lol [12:54] Hey all, I'm messing around with union mounts and such, and I want to mount / as readonly, and then a user directory on top of that, so that any changes to / are only written in that directory. I've tried this with overlayfs, but I can't stack more than a couple of filesystems, even though I want all mountpoints unioned with that user directory, and I've messed around with aufs, but I don't want the metadata that it writes. Does anyone know what [12:54] my phone is connected to the router fine and can access websites [12:54] judging* [12:54] and i can ping it on my phone [12:54] alankila, yes, it did. Simple solutions can be so elegant :-) [12:54] alankila, kiitos. [12:54] kronen: do you have any specs on the card like chipset vendor etc ,,, the raid card could be it but it uses a VIA technologies and that's sort of unusual [12:54] Meris: ole hyvä. [12:54] i have a local ip from the router, i just cant ping the damn thing or open its settings page [12:54] And if aufs is the newer method of unioning, is there a way to disable the writing of whiteouts/metadata? [12:54] DarkSim: xfce has been around a bit longer. FWIW, xfce and NOT lxde was adopted for UbuntuStudio's move away from gnome [12:55] hia [12:55] this has been happening on and off for a few days [12:55] livingdaylight: greetings. What's YOUR ubuntu support question? [12:55] The box has a pciture which says "Promise" on it, as well as SATA RAID elsewhere on the picture <- BluesKaj [12:55] looking in muon I see a thousand and one versions of java. Which is the openjdk7 version I need? [12:56] BluesKaj: there's a mini-CD with a bunch of windows drivers that came with it, but it seems to be damaged [12:56] kronen that raid controller has it's own bios, check the manual howto enter it. [12:56] OerHeks: there is no manual, just the box and the damaged CD [12:57] kronen download it from the vendor. [12:57] Boogeyman, are you accessing via wi fi to the router ? [12:57] Darksim, if you practically "live" in the terminal and if you'd like to use your keyboard for just about everything in a wm, try awesome wm, it's very elegant, incredibly lightweight and highly configurable through the scripting language lua. [12:57] the picture says "Promise Technology Inc. PDC20319. RAID. SATA ISO." That's all I can make out [12:57] i have postfix installed and configured but i cant send mail to any external domain, according to the mail logs the connection times out, im not on a blacklist, tested to make sure im not running an open proxy, what did i miss? [12:57] kronen: does the ide/promise card and drive work on windows? , seems like you may need a driver for the card as well [12:57] from the PC, no, from the phone, yes [12:57] OerHeks: I don't know which controller it is, so don't know which manual to download [12:58] Meris: That is as far away from my needs that I'll ever be. I'm very very unfamiliar with the terminal lol [12:58] and I have never really programmed in all my life [12:58] Boogeyman, can you open the router via brower ? [12:58] BluesKaj: Used to work on windows, but there was some problem with a system restore, now it doesn't anymore, and because the driver CD is damaged, they can't get itworking in windows again... [12:59] kronen: I think you need new drivers for Linux and Windows both [12:59] fzapp, nope, it just times out. and i cant access it from my phone because i have it set not to allow access from wifi :( [12:59] BluesKaj: So what do I do? [12:59] DarkSim, in that case, stay far away from it ;-) [13:00] Boogeyman, beacause maybe your router are bocking http:80 requests from some reason [13:00] fzapp, but at least with the phone i get to the part where it asks me to accept the ssl cert. the pc just tries and then times out [13:00] Boogeyman, you have to see the log details in the router [13:01] BluesKaj: i.e. how do I find and install the driver? [13:01] Boogeyman, type in one terminal 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and check logs, open Opera browser and try to access 'www.google.com' [13:01] Hmm, it seems overlayfs is favoured against aufs, but does anyone know a way to mount all normal mountpoints (like /home, /boot and ofcourse /) under a directory as Read Only and then a writeable directory on top of them? [13:02] Without running into the whole "too many layers" error [13:02] Boogeyman, in terminal you have to access as root [13:02] Boogeyman, or 'sudo su' [13:03] kronen: it should be fairly easy for windows drivers , they shold be availbele in the support section on the promise website , as for linux that may take some searching , not sure [13:03] How to update Ubuntu ? [13:03] Boogeyman, i'm not using wi fi in my notebook beacuse for some reason is not working after 12LTS upadte [13:03] I think it updates itself if it needs to [13:04] BluesKaj: there's a sata-promise module - would it be sensible to try modprobe that? [13:04] Boogeyman, routers works as firewalls to, for some reason its blocking your requests [13:04] fzapp, Jul 28 07:40:10 boogeyman-besktop anacron[13637]: Normal exit (2 jobs run) [13:04] is the last entry, the other ones showing are just cron jobs starting and stopping === THE_dreamer is now known as jiohdi [13:04] BluesKaj: sata_promise even [13:06] Boogeyman, you may have to reset your router with original configuration to access and see this logs [13:06] hey guys I have a question [13:06] What is the default filesystem type when you format your disk to be a linux partition [13:06] ex, i use fdisk [13:07] makezan: ext4 [13:07] Boogeyman, or try to connect with another notebook to see the admin page to the router and see the logs [13:07] last time this happened i just disconnected and reconnected using the systray indicator craplet [13:07] so if i was to mount, I would do sudo mount ext4 ..... [13:07] Boogeyman, ok, but its blocking for some reason :) [13:07] kronen: why not if it's listed [13:08] makezan, it depends to the linux distro [13:08] makezan, I think the type isn't explicitly required in the mount command [13:08] marc it requires it for me [13:08] fzapp, ubuntu 12.04 [13:08] I did a format [13:09] the type came back as linux partition 84 [13:09] *84 [13:09] *83 [13:09] makezan, than you need: mount -t ext4 /dev/locationofyourpartition /mountpoint [13:09] makezan, in fdisk you have a complete list to partition types [13:09] BluesKaj: doesn't seem to have helped, or changed lspci -vv . In any case, the problem is that I don't know what exactly the card is, so the promise website isn't very helpful... [13:10] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [13:10] /dev/vdc1 2048 20971519 10484736 83 Linux [13:10] hey, how I can upgrade ubuntu from version 11 to 12 or it's not possible ? [13:10] well, i just disconnected and reconnected, irc is still working, but now empathy, skype, and qtorrent wont reconnect [13:10] that's what i mean its tellng me the type is 83 linux, mark and fzapp === yx_ is now known as yx [13:10] and the browser still says "FU buddy, no webpages for you" [13:10] and i can't figure out what is the specific type of file system [13:11] makezan, type 83 could be any ext file system [13:11] marc yeah that's where the confusion is [13:11] mount -t ext4 won't do it [13:12] i'm gonna try a reboot and see if that helps any [13:12] and gparted? won't that tell you more? [13:12] I'm looking for a file manager (or plugin) that let's me qeue file transfers [13:12] BluesKaj: so there's no way to find out from somethling like lspci what the details of the product/card are? [13:13] http://pastebin.com/BjYjJt1W [13:13] hi, is there any news readers in ubuntu that let me read news in command line? [13:13] marc and fzapp it won't mount as ext3 [13:14] or 4 [13:14] or 2 for the matter [13:14] makezan, ReiserFS [13:14] makezan, access 'Disk Utility' [13:15] Type 83 is ReiserFS [13:15] chroot_: news as in nntp/usenet? slrn [13:15] makezan, My mounted partition is type 83 too, i'm seeing right now using 'Disk Utility' [13:16] hey, cann anyone help me get more space on my dropbox account by refferals? the link is http://db.tt/0m2njR5v ... not sure if anyone could help me out in this channel or not... thanks :) [13:16] oh unfortunately fzapp, this is a server with no gui [13:17] makezan, i'm preety sure is ReiserFS beacuse my Ubuntu has a 83 Linux partition too and is telling is a 'ReiserFS' type [13:17] llutz: but usenet is not free to use, [13:18] chroot_: usenet as news-board, not as warez-board [13:18] llutz: i just want to read the world news in command line [13:18] makezan, using fdisk to access your disk controller you may see this list of partition types in some option, I can't remember which is [13:18] fzapop thanks i'll try now to look for how to mount it [13:19] chroot_: use any cli-browser of your choice then, links, elinks, lynx... [13:19] yeah in fdisk i see a list [13:19] makezan, ;) [13:19] but none of them was ext specific, 83 just says linux [13:19] llutz: i have lynx, [13:20] fzapp: partition type vs. filesystem type. think about it... [13:20] ok, BluesKaj : It seems the stuff saying promise is just on one of the chips on the card - so it's quite possible I have a VIA VT6410 RAID bus controller, it just uses the Promise PDC20319 chip [13:20] but i doubt that , i.e. i want to go bbc, can lynx work [13:20] hello guys, i am trying to kill skype... it says not responding, i tried killing it with kill PROCESS ID it still stays at the status bar, did it rom system monitor still skype wudn't exit [13:20] tking: kill -9 process ID [13:21] can one change username? [13:21] hi guys, anybody know how to get the size of the post-MBR gap? [13:21] BluesKaj: so that could well mean the card is correctly being picked up, but not the hard drive, right? [13:21] cfhowlett, thanks, what does the -9 do? why didnt the kill process id work? [13:21] livingdaylight, usermod -l login-name old-name [13:22] angheloko, just look at your disk in (g)parted [13:22] kronen: that's what it looks like , you should check th jumper(s)on the hard drive , the setting might be incorrect [13:22] tking: details @ the man page for "kill" command. -9 forces the stop [13:22] BluesKaj: we don't want to open the box, as it will void our warranty... [13:22] adee [13:22] angheloko i replace new name with "login-name" ? [13:23] BluesKaj: but I'm going to see if I can find options for the card in the BIOS - may be back in a bit... [13:23] adee, but 83 is not the filesystem type in partition ? Partition type is Linux [13:23] Meris, so that'd be the start of my first partion minus 512MB, yes? === marc is now known as kristofD [13:23] fzapp: no [13:23] livingdaylight, yes [13:23] angheloko: cool - thank you! [13:23] livingdaylight, no.. replace login-name with "your" own new username [13:24] angheloko, the MBR is much smaller than 512MB [13:24] fzapp: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html - check type 83 [13:24] angheloko: so, for e.g. usermod -l gimli livingdaylight [13:24] adee so if I understand fdisk, just creates the partition to /dev/sd# [13:25] livingdaylight, yep... assuming gimli is you new username [13:25] makezan: yup [13:25] angheloko: perfectly clear now - thanks again :) [13:26] Meris, then this is no easy task then... i was planning on increasing that gap since i am upgrading from GRUB legacy to GRUB2 [13:26] Hi ! I have a question about installing an app manualy, Could you help me ? [13:26] Meris, i might as well just run gparted [13:26] Roberto: details ... [13:26] adee and fzap it worked, so fdisk created /dev/sd#, then used mkfs to format it to ext4, and I was trying to mount /dev/sdc/ vs mount /dev/sdc1 [13:27] angheloko, why don't you pastebin the output of parted of the disk you are having troubles with [13:28] I just installed hubiC-browser (something like dropbox|ubuntu one) in /opt. I would like to be able to call it in the term so i putted a symLink in /usr/local/bin [13:29] makezan, but you got lucky, because adee is right [13:29] "Various filesystem types like xiafs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, etc. all use ID 83." [13:29] yeah that's right [13:29] The partition type is irrelevant for filesystems. [13:30] makezan, is fun to get lucky, huahuahua [13:30] problem is: when I call it I got this error: /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser: 18: /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser: /usr/local/bin//opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/.hubiC-browser-bin: not found [13:31] Meris, http://pastebin.com/WgeFs68N ... not really having troubles (yet)... just hoping i won't run into problems like this - http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=274701 [13:31] why i try to go to /usr/local/bin//opt/... ? [13:31] *it [13:31] Roberto: because you called kn the wrong way. [13:31] I tried symlink and hardlink... [13:31] Roberto: You did it wrong :) [13:32] ln -s /this/is/the/original/file /usr/local/bin/newfile [13:33] angheloko, your NTFS partitions are WinXP, right? [13:33] Meris, yes, win7 [13:34] bekks: hunhun... I tried it before and just tried it again but still don't work... :S [13:35] Roberto: whats the full path to your original file? [13:36] bekks: sudo ln -s /opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/hubiC-browser /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser [13:36] angheloko, Win7? In that case, you can also switch to gpt. I am not sure what the difference in size is between those partition tables, but gpt is the more modern one. Though if you need to access this disk from older OS'es that don't support gpt yet, you best stick with MBR [13:36] Roberto: And where is /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser now pointing to? Check it with ls -lha /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser [13:37] bekks: seems to be good... [13:37] 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 juil. 28 15:36 /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser -> /opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/hubiC-browser [13:37] Roberto: And /opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/hubiC-browser is executable? Check it with ls -lha too [13:39] -rwxrwxr-x 1 roberto roberto 359 juil. 12 16:09 /opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/hubiC-browser [13:39] Roberto: And how exactly are you trying to invoke that binary then? [13:40] bekks: problem is: it seems it find the exec file but this file call an other wich is in /opt/..... but he try to find it in the wrong place [13:40] Meris, that sounds good since i'm upgrading anyway... oh well, i guess i'll just have to check from gparted... thanks! [13:40] Roberto: And how exactly are you trying to invoke that binary then? [13:40] bekks: using the terminal [13:40] bash [13:40] Roberto: And then staring at it? :D Which command exactly are you running? [13:40] how do we apt-get purge in command line an application, please? [13:40] angheloko, just be sure to make a backup first, switching to gpt might very well *DESTROY* all your data on your disk [13:41] roberto@Jarvis:~$ hubiC-browser [13:41] /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser: 18: /usr/local/bin/hubiC-browser: /usr/local/bin//opt/ovh/hubiC-browser/.hubiC-browser-bin: not found [13:41] livingdaylight: apt-get purge package-name [13:41] Meris, yeah... reading up on GPT now [13:41] bekks: thank you [13:41] hello, i am having problems with my oracle java installer, for some reason whenever i install anything it says its not installed. i got to app center and it says it is, whenever i try to remove it and reinstall it it gives me an error. Here is my pastebin log: http://pastebin.com/hZwX327H Can someone please help???? [13:41] Roberto: then forget about the symlink, and use an alias instead. [13:42] bekks: cause it's a shity script ? [13:42] Roberto: Exactly. [13:43] bekks: Ok thanks ! it's what I thooght...

[15:01] Mintathon, sudo enable d by default? what on earth does that mean [15:01] does anyone know of theirs a way to run bsd apps in linux [15:01] lexmark pro901 [15:01] Mintathon: it's a lot more secure than the alternative. [15:01] Mintathon it IS enabled by default (as opposed to Debian) [15:01] or are their limited to bsd [15:01] ekim, and the link to the printer driver please [15:02] sudo comes fully configured for your regular user by default.

[15:05] Mintathon, thats enough/ lets move on [15:05] Mintathon: you should put the shovel down before that hole becomes too deep for you to climb out of. [15:05] Mintathon, centos/rhel uses that model too [15:05] I'm sure some of you reading this have been Googling away so you can argue with me that you found the answer to my problem in 5 minutes and it shouldn't have been that hard blah blah blah.

[15:06] Oh geez. Haha. Solving the unsolvable. [15:07] I guess I really shouldn't complain though. This is all part of being a Linux admin... being able to narrow down the problem and figure it out.

I am sitting with an ubuntu-laptop right next to it using the same cable with no problems at all.. I've had this problem for a while, could someone please help figure out what's wrong with my computer?:S [15:08] mneptok: We, borg. :) [15:09] ekim, that seems like a appropriate driver, get the one without the JRE [15:09] +requirement [15:09] sirriffsalot: In a terminal, does "ifconfig" show the device? If so, has it a valid IP address? [15:09] sirriffsalot, on the diu computer, run ifconfig in a terminal. whats the ip address? [15:09] ekim: also match the 32 or 64 bit-ness of your installed OS to the driver. [15:10] I did get the one without JRE but like I said, it asks for root priviledge password to install. [15:10] ekim, double click the extracted .deb and it will ask for the sudo pass [15:10] I have the right one downloaded, just cant install without root password. [15:10] All I see doing ifconfig is eth0 and lo with no ip-adress.. As soon as I connect it, dhcp tries to work things out but keeps failing and goes on for ages [15:11] sirriffsalot: did you set up a static DNS on that machine in an older release? [15:11] Two days ago, disabling network altogether, then enabling it before plugging the cable in worked, but now that fails too... [15:11] bazhang: yes, I did that but I dont have a root or sudo password! [15:11] ekim, no need for the root password, there is none, just use sudo password [15:11] sirriffsalot: Is there actually a DHCP server in Your network? [15:11] mneptok, no idea what that involves, so no.. [15:11] Igramul, yes, it works on all other machines.. [15:11] sirriffsalot: "sudo dhclient eth0" [15:11] ekim, sure you do. its the user password to log in to your system [15:12] That password doesnt work. My user pass doesnt work.

[15:12] cppby, no [15:12] I type in the pass and it tells me it is wrong, every password I type in says it is wrong. [15:13] yes, I am the first and only acct created. [15:13] ekim, which version of Ubuntu are you using? [15:13] I am an administrator and can install other software without issues. [15:13] er...OK.. [15:13] ohhh right [15:13] 12.04 [15:13] sounds odd... what are you trying to install if you don't mind me asking? [15:14] I never was give a choice/chance to create a root pass during install...that seemed odd. [15:14] An administrator not knowing how to open a terminal - odd.

Touchpad issues, no video, and blank screen with just the mouse pointer showing. I thought that maybe they would have it fixed up by 12.04 LTS but NOPE!

Even maximized windows do, those which usually cannot be dragged around on the screen ... and it has been in 11.10 already. DID ANYBODY TEST IF THAT SHIT WOR [15:51] KS AT ALL??? [15:51] beanpole: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === a is now known as Guest38183 [15:51] beanpole, /join #ubuntu-offtopic instead. They love rants there, as long as you keep it civil [15:52] i am not ranting tyhis is a bug [15:52] beanpole: then file a bug [15:52] beanpole: then report it as such, objectively. [15:53] beanpole it's not because you have troubles getting familiar, that the system is no good [15:53] file /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin [15:53] /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped [15:53] when installing ubuntu 11.10 to dual boot system having windows and ubuntu 12.04, mistaken the choise erased the entire disk. how to recover my data of NTFS Partition [15:53] beanpole, in that case, just search if the bug is already posted. If it is, see if you can provide some *helpful* comment to speed up the resolving, if not, file a bug report with a backtrace if possible. [15:53] beanpole: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [15:54] Unknown0BC : 32-bit [15:54] Join new game DAY 1, something like erepublik but with many improves.. there is the link > http://www.cyberrepublik.com/en/referrer/3171 < - Help your country [15:54] Patrick01: No advertising in the channel [15:54] !ot > Patrick01 [15:54] Patrick01, please see my private message [15:54] glebihan, yeah weird. [15:54] beanpole: I don't have that bug that is shown in the video. It works exactly as expected. If you are having the bug, please report it and give more information than is given in that video. [15:54] hi all. so i was recently using the open source nvidia driver, and then i "dpkg -i" 'd an nvidia-current package. didn't work, so i removed it from recovery console. rebooted into open source nvidia driver, and now the resolution is alllll minimal. used to run at 1650x??? or whatever tahat resolution was... now xrandr is reporting the max is 1280x720. any ideas? [15:55] Unknown0BC: Give me one second [15:55] is there any way to get my data back?:( [15:55] Unknown0BC, you need to either get the 64 bits version or install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 [15:55] hello, I try to use minicom in 12.04. I installed it and when I try to use it I get ...permission denied... So I searched a little and came up with three solutions [15:55] akil: NTFS recovery tools are better on Windows than Linux. [15:55] 1. start minicom using sudo, 2. add me to the group dialout, 3. do chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0 [15:56] noob7: take 2) :) [15:56] noob7: 2 [15:56] akil: When You chose to use the whole disk, then the chances of getting a removed partition back are de facto zero. [15:56] <_josh> I used to use "gnome-power-manager" as a binary to start a battery indicator (using awesome window manager), but it disappeared from 12.04, anybody know what it changed to? [15:56] ok thanks [15:56] . [15:57] @mneptok I used once Recuva is for free and was not bad [15:57] mneptok: i lose both other os now onely 11.10 [15:57] akil, you *can* use ntfs-tools to mark the volume checkfs-needed. After that it will automatically be checked when you start Windows the next time [15:57] Anyone know how to connect a canon mp280 scanner? The printer function works great but my machine cannot see the scanner side [15:57] akil: When did You discover the mistake? When there was no write access to that partition, You can try recover utilities. [15:57] akil: the more you use this system the less likely data recovery becomes. [15:57] ki4ro_, look it up on the lunx hardware compatiblity list [15:58] ki4ro_, look it up on the linux hardware compatiblity list [15:58] akil: shut it down and find out how to recover data off destroyed NTFS partitions. [15:58] Meris: Worked perfectly before 12.04 [15:58] Meris: i dont have windows [15:58] beanpole: do you have business here other than to rant? [15:58] Unknown0BC: Will it work if you run google-earth from the commandline with LD_PRELOAD? As in: LD_PRELOAD=path/to/libGL ./googleearth-bin [15:59] akil: you already overwritten most of your data + you have a different partition table now [15:59] Igramul: arter installetion i did not seen the dirve then only i new it is missing [15:59] Meris: scangearmp or skanlite or xsane cannot see the scanner [15:59] akil, try to bring the disk to someone who has Windows and proper recovery tools [15:59] jmrog, I think I have a messup here with the installs of 32bit and 64 bit I tried. [16:00] akil: "after installation" sound bad. Use Meris' hint, but your chances are very low. [16:00] Unknown0BC: Okay [16:00] ok thank you every one i may do as meris told [16:01] kevin: Perhaps try apt-get install --reinstall (I don't know the package name)? [16:01] akil, good luck! I had a HDD crash just a month ago and I know how it feels. Backup, backup backup...Now if only someone knew a backup program for Linux that works as versatile and well as Cobian Backup... [16:02] Meris: I use crashplan and I'm happy with it. === Guest10048 is now known as diamonds [16:02] Meris: But I do not know cobian backup. [16:02] Igramul, crashplan eh? Well, I'll be sure to look it up, thx for the suggestion [16:03] Unknown0BC: Sorry, just saw the ELF output you posted earlier. Yeah, you're running a 32-bit executable but trying to use a 64-bit lib, that's probably the issue [16:04] Hello! [16:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable how to make u with umlaut [16:04] my system is multiarch [16:04] besides using NotifyOSDconfig, how can one mess with the look of the OSD notifications [16:04] oh it's altgr shift+" u [16:05] ? [16:05] Igramul, because I need more then one backup set, the free version of CrashPlan does not cut it. I'm not adverse to buying software, but I don't subscribe to softs, if I buy a program, it has to be mine indefinetely. [16:05] i want to run a php script in apache2(lamp-server localhost @ my desktop) but www-data user can't execute it...it says that it's unable to open the file...any idea? [16:06] Igramul, thanks for the suggestion, though [16:07] Meris: If You only need one backup set per machine and if You use Your machines as backup destinations, then the free version will still be fine. [16:07] Anyone know how to connect a canon mp280 scanner? The printer function works great but my machine cannot see the scanner side [16:07] dimos, probably something to do with permissions on software level, please consult #apache or #php instead [16:07] ki4ro_: probably need scangear from Canon. Not free software though, afaik. [16:08] Igramul, as I said before, I need multiple backup sets, but thx anyway. [16:08] Meris: with a google seach i read about permissions but i can't fix it...hmm... [16:08] * dimos joins #apache [16:08] Unknown0BC: That's fine, but the googleearth-bin file is a 32-bit executable and might not be finding the 32-bit library; the library found via locate is 64-bit [16:09] * Unknown0BC blinks [16:09] Unknown0BC, try installing ia32-libs to cover for that [16:10] What Meris said [16:11] dimos Maybe you need to change ownership or permissions of the file? [16:11] jmrog, Meris , weird I install the 64bit but when I look at the exec file its a 32bit. [16:11] * Unknown0BC frowns [16:11] StevenR: Got scangearmp installed but it cannot see the scanner either [16:11] Unknown0BC: Mystery solved.... [16:12] ^ [16:12] usr13: i tried with: sudo chown www-data script.php - but nothing happens... [16:12] ki4ro_: no idea then [16:12] Unknown0BC, might be a bad link, if you are sure that the package is marked as 64-bit and it is exactly the same as the 32-bits version, better report it to the one who manages the package. [16:13] ki4ro_: sane-find-scanner [16:13] dimos: You would have needed to be in the directory where it is, or use full path. [16:14] dimos: But not really sure that is the issue for sure. You might find more detailed info in the log file [16:14] usr13: Found it [16:15] usr13: i check with ls -la...the file seams ownw to www-data...but this is a good idea! let's see the log file... [16:15] dimos: /var/log/httpd/error_log [16:15] ki4ro_: very good... [16:16] usr13: Then why can't any of the scanner s/w find it? [16:16] usr13: /var/log/apache2/error.log : [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: fopen(data.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/php/script.php on line 18, referer: http://localhost/php/form.html [16:17] usr13: i'll try with: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www [16:20] i need a place where i can rant about newbs. if anyone in here thinks they are newbish or ask stupid questions, you need to talk to my friend, he will make you feel like a linux guru [16:20] usr13: perfect! it's ok now! but something else: if i want to create a new php file in /var/www i must to execute again the command...any idea on how i can do this automaticaly? [16:21] usr13: Then why can't any of the scanner s/w find it? [16:21] Hi. I'm currently running 3 tightvnc servers on my ubuntu box... How can I kill 2 of the processes? I just need 1 of em up.. :) [16:22] vicium\a: vncserver -kill :2 kills the instance on display :" [16:22] vicium\a: vncserver -kill :2 kills the instance on display :2 [16:23] I installed libhtml-strip-perl to strip html but I can't figure how to use it [16:25] need help please? [16:25] bekks: Hmm ok thanks! [16:26] man has nothing [16:26] I'll try #perl [16:26] i am unable to see video on ubuntu.when i play any video instead of video different colors of Strips are appearing.. [16:27] Has anyone tried running a wmware windows inside of ubutu 11+ ? [16:28] please help.. [16:28] Or perhaps a vmware ubuntu 11+ runs better on win? :P [16:28] vicium\a: Ermm - It doesnt matter what you are running inside a vm. [16:29] So they both work equally 'great' ? [16:29] Assuming i have the horsepower [16:29] vicium\a: I'd recommend virtualbox instead of vmware, unless using an ESX host. [16:29] hello all [16:30] bekks: It works like vmware more or less? [16:30] vicium\a: Yes. [16:30] Only x86? [16:30] vicium\a: 32bit and 64bit. [16:30] vicium\a: Or get it as Oracle VM Server on SPARC. [16:30] I want to run adb from ~/Software/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools but when I do so it says No such file or directory ... I cd into the directory and ls -l I see the file there ,.. I say ./adb devices and No such file and directory, WTF? [16:31] vicium\a, you have a number of open source virtualization options including virtualbox as well as kvm and xen. vmware is probably less popular in this channel because of those other options [16:32] BadDesign, is it marked executable? and what is the exact command you are trying to execute [16:32] BadDesign: To be honest, I have never messed with any of that, is there a chance you need root priveleges to run it, or is it on a non compatable partition type? i.e. needs to be in ext4, but is in ntfs, etc...? [16:32] escott: hylian: there permission are -rwxrwxr-x for the adb command [16:32] Hmm okay :) well I'm gonna run the VB in windows (but that didnt matter right? and then run ubuntu inside) shouldnt be an issue right? just get vb + the most recent stable ubuntu iso? [16:32] BadDesign: escott is much more adept at these things then I, I would follow his advice... [16:33] hylian: The files are in my home directory, its the Android SDK, I don;t need root priviledges to run it [16:33] vicium\a, there may be minor performance differences but it shouldn't matter. running ubuntu inside a windows vm might be better for desktop usage because of graphics drivers and related issues [16:34] Yeah figured and when i actually play games i can play them in natural... enviroments, instead of vming.. Since my ubunt usuage isnt very performance heavy [16:34] Something really strange is going on here [16:34] Thanks for the pointers [16:34] Can i netinstall with VB? or iso required i assume? [16:34] BadDesign, is adb an elf executable or is it a java program? [16:34] BadDesign: I am going to do a little research and see what i come up with, brb. :) [16:35] greetings [16:35] usr13: Finally found a new version of scangear (version 1.8) that works fine...been a long 2 hours!!! LOL [16:35] escott: adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped [16:35] oops, back.. VM network stuff installed.. But I need an iso right? [16:35] somebody help me? [16:35] vicium\a, im sure you could do a net install but if you have the image file the iso would be faster [16:35] Allright, i'll just grab that then, big thanks! [16:35] how do i successfully remove the ubuntu global menu? [16:35] !ask | animus123 [16:35] animus123: 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 [16:36] I run ./adb devices bash: ./adb: No such file or directory ... I'm clearly in the right directory. [16:36] hey my ubuntu computer keeps freezing and doesn't recover, how can I tell what's causing it? [16:36] again... how do i successfully remove the global menu in ubuntu gnome 12.04 [16:37] hylian:i am unable to see any video in vlc.when i started to play any video,instead of video different colors of Strips were appearing..and i can't see any video.. [16:38] * righthandofdoom sits crosslegged and patiently [16:38] BadDesign: there is a forum that says you do need root privileges, have you tried sudo ./adb? [16:38] righthandofdoom, gnome doesn't have a global menu [16:38] animus123: have you tried it with any other video player to make sure it is not a vlc specific issue? === Vicium is now known as vicium\a [16:39] mplayer is normally a good place to start [16:39] animus123: what color are the lines, and what happens if you try to run the same videos through programs such as mplayer or totem? [16:39] spaceman:i tried it with default movie player.but no response.same thing was happening.. [16:40] vicium\a: You should use the official vbox version from www.virtualbox.org - and yes, you need an ISO of the OS you want to install as a guest. [16:40] righthandofdoom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-I0jCIFyc4 [16:40] hylian: Doesn't work.. I added an environment variable to the path where the command is and when I try to run adb from anywhere it says command not found and then Software/android-sdk-linux//platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory [16:41] animus123: what kind of video is it, mp4, avi or what. If so do have the dependencies installed for that kind of video. [16:41] hylian: Why it adds another / ? [16:41] hylian: my path is absolute but I've not listed it all here [16:41] hylian:i hadn't try it,in mplayer.but i tried in default movie player.but samething was happening.. [16:41] spaceman:it's mp4.. [16:41] hi everyone. Quicky question. Is nano installed by default on ubuntu server? [16:42] ok i did that.ok, is there a way to install the old menu we had in ubuntu ~10 [16:42] LoganGray: i believe so [16:42] BadDesign: are you on a 64 bit system? [16:42] righthandofdoom: I have no idea [16:42] trism: yes [16:43] BadDesign: you probably don't have the i386 libs (it gives that strange no such file or directory error otherwise) [16:43] BadDesign: that is strange.. could there be a nameless folder in the path? [16:43] would i have to revert to an earlier version of gnome? [16:43] trism: hmm, I remember installing them [16:43] hylian:well,every time they have different colors [16:43] Thanks ThinkT510 -- find it odd that a VPS provider didn't have it installed already - and when I did an apt-get to install it - man, it installed a ton of stuff - including dependencys I'm sure it didn't need. [16:44] righthandofdoom, gnome 2 is gone but there is a a fall back that is similar. [16:44] hii [16:45] i installed ubuntu in c:\ [16:45] from inside windows7 [16:45] achyut, installed from windows? [16:45] achyut, ah a wubi install [16:45] thank you fyodorovna... does unsettings work to make changes to global menu? [16:45] animus123: installing gstreamer ffmpeg (not it's exact name) might work if it ain't installed already [16:45] but its not showing in boot menu [16:45] plz help [16:46] hmmm a wubi install [16:46] righthandofdoom, never heard of unsettings what do you mean? [16:46] spaceman:actually i have installed the essential codec? [16:47] achyut, is ubutu the only other OS, it should be in the windows boot menu. [16:47] ubuntu* [16:47] yup its the only other OS [16:47] animus123: this is probably a stupid question, but did you install the bad and ugly plugins? (i.e. gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly?) [16:47] but its not showing in boot menu [16:47] achyut, did it install from a reboot? === harry is now known as Guest56774 [16:47] it asked for a reboot [16:48] but after rebooting [16:48] windows loaded [16:48] how to set boot screen to original [16:48] achyut, that is the install, look in the windows remove apps in the control panel to see if it shows there. [16:48] hylian:yes!! i installed all essential gstreamer plugin. [16:48] My upgrade to 12.04 has frozen mid-upgrade and I'm trying to figure out if I can recover it from another terminal window. Can anyone help? [16:49] ok Fyodorovna...checking [16:49] animus123: another dumb question on my part, but have you installed the latest graphics driver for your graphics card? [16:49] achyut, wubi is not on the cd it has to be downloaded with its installer I believe. [16:50] yes Fyodorovna [16:50] bekks: There's a ubuntu version suited for VB? [16:50] i downloaded ans installed [16:50] So 12.04 desktop iso maybe not ideal? [16:50] achyut: someone else told me with win7 you have to finish the wubi install by running the install method through the live cd, [16:50] I've posted more details on my 12.04 upgrade freeze here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/169350/ubuntu-distribution-upgrade-to-12-04-freezes-on-configuring-lswh [16:50] but my pc doesnot have a cd drive [16:51] Anyone have experience recovering from an upgrade freeze? [16:51] hylian:actually,that's a great controversy,i have sis graphic card. [16:51] animus123:and i think you must have heard about sis graphic cards???? [16:52] wubi or ubuntu is not showing in the list of installed apps for windows [16:52] animus123: hmmm. well sis isn't spectacular, but unless it's a decade old, I would think it wouldn handle a video ok. What us the model number of your sis? [16:53] yikes! - Sis cards aren't worth it - upgrade to a cheap Nvidia (<$25) [16:53] hylian:everybody knows,it's sis 671/771 [16:53] hey is there any good program for ubuntu like "S-Spline" or "BlowUp" for resize(blowup) image, cant fing any with google [16:53] hylian:very hopeless graphic card i ever seen!! [16:53] animus123: which is a horrible card, in terms of performance. [16:53] animus123: does the mp4 have copy protection on it? [16:54] animus123: well you have given me enough to do a quick bit of research, let me see what i come up with, I will be back in a couple of minutes. [16:55] spaceman - mp4 is a container - it "could" have copy protection - but not all mp4 have copy protection [16:55] bekks:sis 671,it's worlds most horrible card.. [16:55] hylian:i am waiting for you... [16:55] spaceman:nope!!!! [16:55] *Nod to Animus* well put sir! (re: sis graphic card) [16:55] achyut, I suspect it is not onstalled [16:56] installed* [16:56] animus123: Right after a VIA Chrome, but following closely :) [16:56] i ve installed and reinstalled 6 times [16:57] animus123: what do you get when you run this command: gksu jockey-gtk? [16:59] hylian:nothing was happened.just ask for password.and over.. [17:00] animus123: it looks like jockey will give us nothing here. I would follow the instructions at https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis, then if you need help or get nowehere, come back here. Also, these instructions are for Ubuntu 12.04, so if this is not your version of Ubuntu, then we will have to do seomthing else. [17:01] Does anyone know how to stack overlayfs mounts? [17:01] hylian:for you kind of information,i have downloaded the sis driver from this site?and i installed it by using the instruction given on this site..

[17:05] thanks [17:05] usr13: it cannot read my hard from the XP of virtualbox [17:06] animus123: You might try mplayer [17:06] hi. Anyone here used YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator? I cannot boot anything get message "modprobe: module unknown not found in modules.dep" when i boot from the USB stick. [17:06] hylian:yes !! that are all hd.. [17:06] tondar33: And XP is the guest?

[17:07] nokia, I use this multibooter myself. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [17:07] animus123: quite possibly, and mplayer might reveal that. [17:07] hylian:so i would not see any hd videos on ubuntu?? [17:07] animus123: well you have two problems then. number one is, on linux, vlc does not support hd. mplayer does. secondly your video card also does not supprt hd. You could try and load those video's with mplayer, but with that video card your playback will be sketchy at best, sorry. :( [17:08] animus123: mplayer is the swiss army knife for video [17:08] animus123: to be honest, I am not certain windows would fare much better. your best option is to try mplayer, or buy a new graphics card. [17:09] usr13:ok,then i will definitely try it!! [17:09] tondar33: Does it recognize other thumb drives? [17:09] nokia, the yumi is a windows loader, I found dealing with the contigious defragging was a tiresome.

[17:12] animus123: I didn't realize that... no you can't, sorry. :( [17:12] hello room [17:12] tondar33: Sorry but I don't know what "UB flash" is. [17:13] Guest53376:after pressing window key....type proprietary drivers [17:13] Why I could use extra-Ubuntu visual features when I installed Ubuntu with Wubi but can't use now when I have it fully installed on my laptop? [17:13] usr13, usb... thumbdrive [17:13] arvislacis: so what is your question? :) [17:13] nokia, make sure you use gparted to format the usb if it balks, the disk utility does not seem to format to the multisystems satisfaction. [17:13] tondar33: Well, that is a good clue, just not sure where to go with it... [17:13] hylian:okkk ,thanks for your great help.. [17:14] killer, it says none r in use on this sytem [17:14] there must be some activate button:Guest53376 [17:14] I have installed Ubuntu Desktop. I have Kubuntu also and I always use Kubuntu. The problem is I have eclipse downloaed (not form repo) and I have added the application in KMenu. But Now I am using Ubuntu 12.04 where I dont see any menu. How can I add it to any menu? [17:14] usr13, i think my VB configuration has not set to read from proper port or something like that... i think [17:14] animus123: normally when a graphics card doesn't support hd, it plays it back extremely slowly and jerkly rather than fail to play, therefore from what you have said it doesn't seem like a graphics card issue at all. [17:14] arvislacis: this is probably a very dumb question on my part, but have you installed the graphics driver for your Ubuntu install? type this to find out: gksu jockey-gtk [17:15] tondar33: is your user in vboxusers group? [17:15] killer: i dont see one [17:15] hylian: Well, there was no Additional drivers but I will try it with terminal. [17:15] tondar33: on menu devices when guest is running you can enable usb devices? [17:15] Is there anything like application menu in Ubuntu 12.04? I need to add 'eclipse' there [17:16] hola [17:16] !alacarte | e66 but i would think if it shows in kde then the entry is there for gnome [17:16] arvislacis: and you have updated your apt-get since install? sudo apt-get update [17:16] !info alacarte | e66 [17:16] e66: alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu4 (precise), package size 91 kB, installed size 1116 kB [17:17] hylian: I got: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [17:17] exutux, in etc/groups, i dont see any user infront of vboxusers [17:17] Yeap, I updated. [17:17] Guest53376 :Guest53376 : type in terminal "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [17:17] tondar33: so add your host user to vboxuser [17:17] s* [17:17] arvislacis: ok that's what i needed to know. what is your video card? [17:17] escott: I haven't installed it from Repo so its set manually. [17:18] hylian: Well, I'm not sure about my video card - how can I find it out? [17:18] exutux, and in VB settings, USB is enabled but not 2.0 controller... [17:18] tondar33: and install extrapack from virtualbox site [17:18] how do i mount the windows partition in a live usb so i can run the disk utility to scan the disk? [17:18] exutux, i had already installed virtualbox guest additions, is that what your're refering? [17:19] nope [17:19] tondar33: extrapacks is another pack [17:19] exutux, oh ok will do and get back to u in a moment ;) [17:19] guest additions doesn't matter about USB [17:20] killer: E: Unable to locate package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [17:20] tondar33: so in your host sudo adduser $USER vboxusers then restart lxdm [17:20] arvislacis: i like lshw. but it's run in the terminal, and can really dump way too much info, so i use this command: sudo lshw > info. this dumps all the info into a text file named info in your /home/(your username) directory [17:20] is there a way to do sudo cat asdf.xyz > /etc/need-root.asdf ? because that way it does not work and i dont want to sudo su everytime [17:21] Guest53376 : is ur ubuntu a fresh installation [17:22] exutux, let me get clear.. i just added my host user infront of the virtualbox group, but i have to add a specific user for it as well? [17:22] tondar33: nope your actual user that run VirtualBox [17:23] arvislacis: if you used the command I gave you, you will notice that there is a lot of info in that file it created, you want to look for the word "display". [17:23] exutux, you mean my host user, i manually added it to etc/group, isnt that correct? [17:23] tondar33: if you have other user that need to use vbox, so yes you have to add all them [17:24] tondar33: nope, I said you the command for to it correctly [17:24] exutux, ok thanks :) [17:24] tondar33: so in your host type "sudo adduser $USER vboxusers" then restart lxdm [17:25] i7c, sudo tee [17:26] i7c: sudo sh -c "cat asdf.xyz > /etc/need-root.asdf" [17:26] i7c: cat bla.txt | sudo tee -a /ddestination/file [17:26] i7c: -a if you need to append text [17:26] i have an apache2 guy telling me my problem is ubuntu related [17:27] # service apache2 reload [17:27] Syntax error on line 59 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl: [17:27] blames it on ubuntu...

[17:27] arvislacis: did I lose you? [17:28] I can't get a drive mounted. it shows in nautilus on the right but it doesn't get mounted. i'm on 12.04/64 and the drive is connected via usb [17:28] hylian, no, I just go outside. Now I'm back, just inputed command. [17:28] well the left actually [17:28] Norrin: pastebinit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl [17:28] hylian, looking for display. [17:28] Norrin: #Send resulting URL here. [17:28] morsnowski, can you paste the output of "mount" to paste.ubuntu.com [17:28] Norrin: i don't know the syntax w/o checking, but looks like one " isn't there or it shouldn't be [17:29] arvislacis: ok good. that command will create a file called info. it's in your home directory. look for the word display in that file. [17:29] Norrin: How did you install apache2 ? [17:29] usr13, from ubuntu repo [17:29] Ok [17:29] hylian, I found - which part of display info you need to know? [17:30] arvislacis: it should look something like this: product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6250] (this is my info from the display section) [17:30] hylian: product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [17:31] arvislacis: could you post the entire info file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/? then i could get more info for this problem...

[17:34] morsnowski, you would also usually specify a partition number [17:34] DOHHHHH [17:34] thanks [17:35] usr13, bwlf here is the config http://pastie.org/4349143 [17:35] hylian, I know that this is also a bit stupid question but is it possible to turn off my WiFi Led. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side with my Windows 7. [17:35] bwlf, the " seem to match up [17:36] By the way, what kind of IRC clients are you using, all? I use XChat IRC. [17:38] arvislacis: the led on your computer? hmmm. is it a laptop? [17:38] hylian, yes it's laptop. [17:39] !polls [17:39] 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. [17:40] arvislacis: then i personally don't know of a way, without disabling your wifi altogether. in a desktop it would be a simple matter. I know some people have taken black magic marker, or something like white out to cover the lens, but other than that, i have no solution... [17:40] usr13, bwlf any idea what ubuntu thinks is wrong with line 59? [17:40] hylian, Ok, thanks. And what about previous - driver problem? [17:40] Norrin: Of: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl ? [17:41] Norrin: Is that the file you sent to pastebin? [17:41] arvislacis: is this a dell or hp? what is the laptop make and model? [17:41] hylian, TOSHIBA [17:42] Norrin: Sorry, but have to go for now.... [17:42] out of time... [17:42] hylian, Satellite L500 [17:42] usr13, yes that's the file [17:42] how do i apply compiz changes?

[17:45] ubuntu for president [17:45] Prout [17:45] jeffrey_, try the glxinfo command [17:45] glxinfo | grep vendor / glxinfo | grep direct [17:45] hylian, Ok, thanks for information. I will better live with my default effects. :) [17:45] hylian, Thanks again and bye. === dad_ is now known as Guest51281 [17:45] [//Info] [17:46] Barnabas, that does nothing command not found [17:46] no you have to install the package first [17:46] mesa.utils [17:46] mesa-utils [17:47] arvislacis: does that mean you are done for now, taking a break? or are you going to try this and come back? [17:48] hylian, I'm taking a break. [17:48] hylian, I'm happy with Ubuntu anyway. [17:49] !meaw [17:49] hi, is there a way to change the theme of unity? [17:49] arvislacis: well, have a nice day, and if you ever need help, call on us again. :) [17:49] fn-troll, go to the software center and get "my unity" [17:50] Fyodorovna, go to the software center and get "my unity" [17:50] fnoyanisi, which Ubuntu version are you using? [17:50] fnoyanisi, go to the software center and get "my unity" [17:50] hylian, Ok, thanks. Well, one fast question - On Ubuntu Store page Single CD means one CD or pack of 5? [17:50] Guest51281 : it is 12.04 LTS [17:51] is there a way to have a tty open like control alt f1, but also be able to run a x app, like firefox? [17:51] jeffrey : I will check that tou [17:52] fnoyanisi, right-click the desktop and select change desktop background, at the bottom you will see a drop down menu for Theme === amogorkon is now known as piratenagchat [17:52] why there is not a gay edition of ubuntu? [17:53] sfsf32, there is, its called Linux Mint [17:53] sorry could not resist [17:53] =) === piratenagchat is now known as amogorkon [17:54] let me rephrase my question, I would love to have tty1 open, be logged in, do all my cli stuff, but then when i felt like it run an x app without going back to tty7, is that doable> [17:54] can anyone recommend a good radio app? [17:55] Guest51281 : there usd to be different theme options in previous version [17:55] Guest51281 : when it was gnome [17:55] Guest51281 : there is only 1 few now... [17:55] never mind, found my answer myself. [17:55] How can I reformat a USB drive after dd'ing an image to it? [17:55] hey guys i accidentally damaged the mini jack port on my computer [17:55] fnoyanisi, you will have to install extra themes but that is how you change themes in 12.04 [17:56] can i use the other two for sound since i don't use microphone anyway? [17:56] herpladee: Only if the mainboard supports another configuration by plugging in the cables in another way. [17:56] jeffrey, I use Clementine, all around good music player. Comes with a good selection of radio stations and you can add your own [17:56] tgm4883: By using mkfs [17:57] Guest51281, thanks ill check it out [17:57] bekks, how do i know if it does? [17:57] bekks, ironically, I figured it out 10 seconds after asking that after been working on it for a few days [17:57] jeffrey, anytime - have fun! [17:58] bekks, mkfs wouldn't work, because I put the image on the drive with no partitions [17:58] bekks, fdisk didn't see it, couldn't format it with gparted or disk utility either [17:58] tgm4883: mkfs doesnt need a partition, but a block device only. [17:59] tgm4883: And when fdisk does not see it, it isnt even detected as a block device. [17:59] bekks, actually, I think there may be a bug i fdisk [17:59] tgm4883: Unplug it, wait 10s, plug it back in, wait 10s, and use sudo fdisk -l [17:59] fdisk without sudo does not see anything. [17:59] bekks, yea that didn't work either [17:59] bekks, I had literally been trying to fix this for a few days on a few different machines [18:00] bekks, but I finally got it to work [18:00] tgm4883: And how...? [18:00] Hi, guys. I'm trying to mount a Samba filesystem. Using 'sudo smbmount' works. However, going to File -> Connect to server... in Nautilus or typing smb://blabla in the location field in Nautilus doesn't work, presumably because I don't have permission. How can I best fix this? [18:01] osse: By using smbmount. [18:01] bekks, luckily I had only pushed a 1GB img file to the drive, I went into disk utility and formatted the other half as ext4. As soon as I did that, I was able to format the entire drive however I wanted [18:01] Please! What to chose: Ubuntu 12:04, 32 or 64 for my laptop with Intel i5-48M? [18:01] bekks, I'll attempt to reproduce and open a bug [18:01] RomeoAva, 64 [18:02] RomeoAva: 12.04 64bit. [18:02] bekks, I end up with a mount point I can only use as root [18:02] I had have Ubuntu 11:10 for 32 [18:03] but I want to change with new one [18:03] osse: Then issue the appropiate options for smbmount to mount as a distinct user. [18:03] RomeoAva, You'll need to download and reinstall [18:03] . [18:03] Yes I read about. Thank you [18:03] bye all [18:03] thx exutux bwlf :) [18:04] Why doesn't scangear upgrade automatically like other programs [18:04] It's necesary to make partitions or I can live entire disk for Ubuntu? [18:04] hi [18:04] In Joly Cloud there is not necesary to do partitions [18:04] fidel_: ha! [18:05] RomeoAva, if you want to use the whole drive for Ubuntu, you can just let Ubuntu do the partitioning [18:05] RomeoAva, I believe it just says "Use entire disk" [18:09] goodnight === jono is now known as Guest21992 [18:11] hallo [18:11] :) [18:11] hallo [18:11] gischy, just ask your question [18:12] ^ [18:12] hi, my wifi connection speed is very slow... normally i have a rate from 6+mb/s in my local network, but now it is only 400kb/s ... can any1 help me get my wireless network speedy again?^^ would also be good if any1 can tell me a command to get out my network card [18:13] greenit, have any neighbors started using the same channel as you? [18:13] Barnabas, nope [18:13] greenit: Could be any number of umpteen things. A good culprit is a competing wifi network. [18:13] i think it is because the kernel-update [18:14] i installed the driver for my card again, but it is by far not as fast as before [18:14] Then roll back the update. [18:14] greenit: Pastebinit the output of iwconfig wlan0 (or whatever your wlan interface is named) please. [18:14] Does anyone else share your wifi, knowningly or otherwise? [18:15] bekks, how can i pastebinit from iwconfig? it tells me i can't [18:15] "it"? [18:15] greenit, I really do not think the kernel update is the culprit - more likely the driver you chose [18:15] iwconfig interfacename has an output [18:16] what card? [18:16] !paste | Barnabas [18:16] Barnabas: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:16] hi [18:16] greenit: Get the output from iwconfig wlan0 and put it into pastebin [18:16] Can someone tell me how to stop the little notification from poping up when you have a friend come on and off line. I use current ubuntu and pidgin. [18:16] Also grab lspci -vv to be on the safe side. [18:16] bekks, ? [18:16] well... i have pastebinit installed too... doesn't it work with that tool?^^ [18:16] folks, please, it seems like 2 of my 3 USB ports are powered down, what can I do? [18:16] Barnabas: That iwconfig command has an output. [18:17] rodneymillerpca: It's in plugins (ctrl+u). libnotify [18:17] greenit, yes [18:17] it's Lenovo S205 minibook with 64bit Precise [18:17] Disable that. [18:17] Barnabas: Put that output into a pastebin as ubottu told you. [18:17] yes? but I dit not really multiline paste anything [18:17] bekks, what? [18:17] Barnabas: The instructions where mentioned in what ubottu told you. [18:17] Bless you Bhalash [18:17] bekks, my wifi works just fine .. [18:18] Barnabas: Sorry :D [18:18] rodneymillerpca: bitte :) [18:18] not that I use it for now [18:18] so, here is my pastebin http://pastebin.com/v061ttu1 [18:18] greenit: Could you output lspci -vv too? [18:19] greenit: Your wifi link is working fine with 802.11n at full speed. [18:19] greenit: So your download server is just too slow. [18:19] bekks, did you move your hotspot recently [18:19] Barnabas: Why? [18:19] So, how is the graphical performance with the OSS Drivers on Ubuntu in comparison to say, Fedora? THinking of switching while reading up on the fact that steam is coming :| [18:20] bekks, be carefull with unbalanced psu's close the the wifi hotspot [18:20] Barnabas: I have no problems with my wifi either :) [18:20] Barnabas: And if that would be a problem, that would be visible at the rate the wifi link operates on. [18:20] Bhalash, http://pastebin.com/2cNsy67z [18:21] okay so, I have a 12.04 LTS laptop with encrypted home directories, and a Debian server with a RAID array. I want to back up my home on the laptop to the server over network, preferably something set-and-forget. I don't care if the backup is encrypted if I can decrypt it without the laptop. Where do I even begin on this? [18:21] bekks, for the record, after some googling it seems there is a bug in 12.04. Several people have the same problem as me [18:21] Animeking: Drivers are generally terrible (subjective experience!). Steam announced in a separate blog post that they are going to work directly with Intel to improve drivers. [18:21] bekks, well, my dl-server is in the lan and has a wired connection, i don't think its too slow, i normally can down/upload my files there very fast [18:21] roothorick explore the rsync command, compress etc [18:21] :/ [18:22] MonkeyDust: I know, but the encryption complicates things. Apparently you can't just rsync an encrypted volume when it's mounted [18:22] greenit: Have you tried to benchmark? FTP and wget? Separately connected via the web (DynDNS?)? [18:22] any help for hibernation ? my computer won't shutdown when i do s2disk [18:23] or just plug into the network and verify if that works, then we know it's not a server issue [18:23] i changed uswsup shutdown method from plateform to shutdown, no change [18:23] Bhalash, how shall i benchmark with wget? do you mean if i am connected to my local server via dyndns? [18:23] why are we talking about dyndns? [18:24] greenit, this is quite good too allthough it is flash http://www.speedtest.net/ [18:24] dyndns does not have anything to do with INSIDE your LAN. [18:24] dyndns is for accessing your LAN from OUTSIDE. [18:24] Barnabas, yeah, tried, same speed as in lan^^ [18:24] greenit, Barnabas it's on the same lan, plug in, see if it works. If it does, then roll back the update and see if it fixes the wifi [18:24] i tried acpi=off too, doesn't help… :( [18:24] tgm4883: greenit is reporting connection woes. I was half-assedly suggesting that he set his fileserver up for web-facing access and compare download speeds for X file versus his local network. [18:25] Bhalash, nope, i rly connect to my local server via lan, not wan^^ [18:25] greenit: Then dyndns isnt involved at all. [18:25] Bhalash, no, greenit is saying his download speeds are slow, when connecting to a machine on his same LAN. I'm unsure why you think setting it up to go to the internet would be A) easier, and B) make it any faster [18:25] greenit, do you have a server on the LAN (wired) side of the hot spot [18:26] bekks, i know, thats why i asked if he thought that i am connected via dyndns ;) [18:26] greenit: Gotcha. :) You are also using the correct driver for your wireless card. I had a quick troll around Google, but no one's mentioned connection speeds dropping. Are you in a built-up area? [18:26] Barnabas, yes he does, he's already said that [18:26] Barnabas, yep [18:26] greenit, netperf? [18:26] and wireshark [18:26] * tgm4883 signs [18:26] see what really happens [18:26] Hey people… …Could anyone answer a quick question :? [18:26] furycd001: We dont know. [18:27] Barnabas, only my computer is wireless... and i neither have a long enough lan-cable to test if it is faster with wired lan nor is it easy enough to change the location of my computer [18:27] furycd001, you didn't give us a choice did you [18:27] furycd001: You have to ask your question before. [18:27] greenit, no but wireshark on that pc will probably tell you something when under netperf load [18:28] Barnabas: What do you expect to see in wireshark then? [18:28] Barnabas, if you are going to suggest wireshark, you should probably tell him what he is looking for [18:28] or more likely, just say IDK [18:28] that could be 50 different things :-) [18:28] Ok so i have a machine that runs purely on openbox. If i was to install unity, could the unity panel be moved to the bottom of the screen :? [18:28] Barnabas: Name 3 of them then, please. [18:29] Barnabas, telling someone to do a wireshark and look for the issues is lame [18:29] does anyone know how i can add 3 hods in raid 0 to existing ubuntu [18:29] furycd001: AFAIK no. I use Openbox too. There is a plethora of standalone panel apps that are designed for it. [18:29] icmp packages, dhcp collisions, wlan renegotiations [18:29] or IP collisions [18:29] any body help me in install xampp server in ubuntu ?? [18:29] to be exact [18:29] Barnabas, are you going to look at his wireshark for him? [18:29] icmp dont indicate anything. dhcp collisions are irrelevant because of the overhead and wlan renegotians should occure without load, too. [18:30] Bhalash: Could you recommend anything thats similar to the unity panel but works well with i [18:30] openbox [18:30] furycd001: What exactly do you want from a panel? Window management? Clock? Status icons? [18:31] tgm4883, pastebin? [18:31] I belive wireshark can dump to a file .. but nevermind [18:32] Barnabas, yes it can, I just want to know if since you are asking for a wireshark, if you are going to review it for him? [18:32] Really im looking for something that will manage my open application & give me access to my installed apps !! I'd pref like to find something that has transparancy like with tint2... [18:32] Hi I test the mainline 3.5 kernel, but got no networking at all. Any Idea what the problem could be or how to check out the problem? [18:32] furycd001: There is nothing like that for openbox. [18:32] furycd001: If you really want something inclusive, you could install gnome 2.* and load gnome-panel on its own. [18:32] tgm4883, maybe .. [18:32] furycd001, would AWN work for you http://wiki.awn-project.org/ [18:33] tgm4883: ive used awn before but dont really like it... [18:33] Barnabas, if you aren't willing to do that, then unless the user brings up the idea of wireshark it's probably reckless to be suggesting that to people in #ubuntu [18:33] furycd001: Try gnome-panel, or look into utilizing Openbox's excellent extensibility. I run each app full screen on its own desktop and bind everything to the keyboard. tgm4883's suggestion of AWN works too. [18:34] can someone help me please? i have 3 2tb hdds i want to raid in existing ubuntu. how do i go about adding them? thanks [18:34] Bhalash: Thanks i go take a look into gnome panel ;-)} [18:34] DangerousICE: Are they working already, all on their own? [18:34] tgm4883, maybe I just don't feel like getting the 3rd degree about it from you, and since you have not suggested anything better .. [18:35] tgm4883, but feel free [18:35] Barnabas, nothing better? You mean like actually troubleshooting steps such as isolating the issue? [18:35] Yea I'm pretty sure I did suggest that [18:35] furycd001: You can load it individually by adding "gnome-panel &" to ./config/openbox/autostart [18:36] bekks: i currently have them as 3 separate drives working [18:36] tgm4883, the court is all yours [18:36] hi trying to install ubuntu 11.10 from dvd on a hp g6. I just get the ubuntu default background with no foreground interface or installation menu. Just a cursor. What can I try next? [18:37] Barnabas, I've already suggested ideas that the user said he can't/won't do. [18:37] tgm4883, as I said [18:38] david028x: Is it a Canonical-supplied DVD or one you burnt yourself? [18:38] Ok next question. My desktop thinks it has a laptop display. It is in 1024x768 (4:3) How do I loose the 4:3? [18:38] Barnabas, I'll I'm telling you is, don't just tell people to go do something that they are unfamiliar with unless you plan to A) tell them what they should be looking for or B) look at it for them [18:38] rodneymillerpca, that doesn't make sense, what is the native resolution of your monitor? [18:38] Bhalash: I burnt it myself using gb.releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ and varified [18:39] Agreed. Normaly 1024 x 768 [18:39] any of you guys in or around NJ? [18:39] any help for hibernation ? my system won't poweroff after s2disk same from hibernate, pm-hibernate, or from menu [18:39] david028x: To explicitly confirm: You downloaded the ISO, burnt it and confirmed that the MD5 sum matches? [18:39] It seems to be giving me stretching or zoomed sizes [18:39] rodneymillerpca: Try here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/ [18:40] Bhalash: I downloaded the iso, windows 7 burned it after opening the iso and I checked varify after burning as an option and it came out complete === shadowh511-lapto is now known as shadowh511_ [18:41] rodneymillerpca, if the native resolution of your monitor is 1024x768 and your currently running at 1024x768, and that is a 4:3 resolution, then I don't see the problem [18:41] david028x: Okay. I ask because your problem honestly sounds like faulty installation media. Could you try to burn a new CD, and confirm the MD5? [18:42] Bhalash: ok sure thanks il give that a go and come back if i have any more problems :) [18:42] DangerousICE: http://dtbaker.com.au/random-bits/ubuntu---howto-easily-setup-raid-5-with-lvm.html [18:43] david028x: If the problem persists, consider a different installation format, such as a USB key. MD5 after download, and MD5 after burning. [18:43] bekks: thank you. i kept googling but couldn't find how to set up on existing installation. [18:43] I'm a rookie Bhalash. lol [18:43] rodneymillerpca: Are you burning this DVD in Windows or Linux? [18:44] tgm4883 It has everything bloated likes it 800x600 [18:44] No dvd for me [18:44] DangerousICE: That guide is for adding an additional RAID5 softwara raid, for using it as a data volume. [18:44] david028x: An MD5 sum is a hashed number generated by an algorithm. It is the "digital fingerprint" of the file. [18:45] rodneymillerpca: Sorry, meant that for someone else. :) [18:45] david028x: If the file changes (is corrupted during download or burning), it's fingerprint/MD5 sum changes. [18:45] bekks: thats exactly what i need. the raid is just gonna hold my media files for xbmc [18:46] david028x: Canonical's download page has the MD5 hash of every file there. After you download it, you look at the MD5. If it has changed, the file is corrupt. Ditto after burning. If the MD5 of the DVD is different, then it was corrupted during burning. [18:47] DangerousICE, a fellow XBMC-er I see =) [18:47] What is the deal with pulling usb's on installation restart? Using discs we are prompted to but it seems on usb installs we are not [18:47] livingdaylight: well i mean if you feel that annoyed by it [18:47] why not start writing some code for the installer to check for usb vs. disc usage [18:48] it is after all...........fweeeeee [18:48] hello. is this the support chat? [18:48] Robitron: just ask the question [18:48] Robitron, yes it is =) [18:48] Robitron: (please don't take that negatively, it was said kindly ) [18:49] okay, i'm trying to install ubuntu but i keep getting a signal out of range message on reload. the problem is, i've checked every site i could find and everyone is saying to change this code and that. [18:49] r0tha, I don't think that is what he was saying, I think it's more, "why aren't we told to do remove it when installing from USB" [18:49] #drupal-commerce [18:49] i don't know anything about coding. so i'm totally lost. :( [18:49] r0tha: i didn't mean to imply that I am annoyed by it. Sorry, if that is how it translates over the net. I just meant to ask how, and at what point do I remove the usb? Should I try and time it as it reboots and just pull it out? That feels violent and I don't want to get it wrong [18:49] bekks: been using xbmc since it first came out for old school xbox. had it running with windows 7 but decided to come back to linux. [18:49] livingdaylight: sorry i'm just not reading between the lines [18:49] Robitron: how old is your monitor? And how is it connected? [18:49] tad ummmm [18:49] sleepy [18:49] livingdaylight, that sounds like a bug and should be reported on launchpad [18:49] Robitron, have you tried changing the code as they prescribed? [18:50] livingdaylight, but to answer your question, just pull it when the system is at BIOS [18:51] tgm4883:"... but to answer your question, just pull it when the system is at BIOS" ok, thank you! [18:51] hi [18:52] I tried lxrandr It still has my 1024x768 looking bloated like 800x600 [18:52] Robitron: 90% of the time that happens because you're using an ancient/crappy monitor that doesn't support EDID, or a damaged cable so the EDID signal isn't coming back [18:53] WOuld it be a gnome, ubuntu, driver, or ? setting? [18:53] this rsync is taking forever :/ [18:54] I have noticed you have alot of different programs in your ubuntu repo's but I was wondering how ubuntu went about setting this up. Did alot of the software get mirrored over from gnu/fsf/savannah 60,000 projects ... because I cann't imagine all that could was written from scratch by ubuntu ? [18:54] since alot of software when I go thru it in ubuntu is also in gnu repos [18:56] I guess is there away to determine or only view the software that is different then the gnu /fsf /savannah ,....etc already built code that was just mirrored over the stuff that was created new for ubuntu [18:56] Bhalash tgm4883Any idea on how to loose the 4:3 [18:57] help2man: debian. [18:57] help2man: most of Ubuntu is just outside FOSS projects with the occasional patch. It's the Linux way and all that. A LOT of it is copied from Debian though. [18:57] rodneymillerpca: Rigorous exercise? Er, I mean. I tuned out of this discussion. Did you try the steps given here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/ [18:59] Bhalash rofl. That page is a bit over my head. I did get the lxrandr gui but ti still adds the zoomed in 4:3 [18:59] ok but is there away to see only new ubuntu specific software I would image there is some new software that is not all FOSS or in debian repo just copied over... since if this is the case you could have just used debians repos for your os [18:59] help2man, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [19:00] rodneymillerpca: Okay, so. From the top: What resolution is your monitor *supposed* to support? Is it a desktop monitor or laptop? [19:01] ok, so after testing my wireless connection with netperf and netload, i can say, that only receive is a problem... i am sending with up to 55 mbit/s and receiving with up to 1.1 mbit/s .... thats very slow :/ [19:01] knowing exactly what software and around about number of projects that are ubuntu specific and not already done or copied over from debian / gnu / ,,,other repos [19:01] help2man: there's only a handful of Ubuntu specific stuff, Unity, Software Center... I think that's it. And even those have their own project pages and stuff [19:01] Bhalash It is a desktop that thinks it is a laptop. It is normally simple 1024x768 [19:02] rodneymillerpca: Okay, 1024x768 is a 4:3 ratio. So what's the problem? What resolution is it in fact displaying? [19:02] help2man, how would you account for stuff that originally started in Ubuntu and was then pushed to the debian repos? That software would appear that it comes from debian now [19:03] To me it loks like a bloated 800x600 [19:03] help2man: I think the situation is a lot more complicated than you realize. FOSS is quite a bit more interconnected [19:03] ok I see so most of these linux distros that have alot of different software in there repo's didn't could it they just used it from debian major repos , or redhat major repo , and for slackware ones maybe gnu ...and mirrored them [19:03] could =code [19:03] rodneymillerpca: 1024x768 is kinda tiny for a desktop resolution by today's standards, I'd kinda expect ubuntu to look a little off [19:03] roothorick, yea, i'm not entirely sure what he's trying to figure out [19:04] sudo apt-get install utube ripper [19:04] guyss i nees some helpp! [19:04] Bhalash Currently it is displaying 1024x768 (3:4) I'm looking for just simple 1024x768 [19:05] ok nobody willing to help... :( [19:05] rodneymillerpca: 1024x768 *IS* 4:3 [19:05] rodneymillerpca: I am sorry, but I do not understand you. 1024x768 *is* a 4:3 ratio. [19:05] my gnome session was getting kinda messed up so I re-created my home directory and re-ran tasksel; now I can't get my nvidia graphics working [19:05] so really the distros companies work on just either changing the desktop or user interfaces , or modifying a vannila kernel or both, and mirroring the big repo's over , as well as maybe writing a few specific apps like ubuntu's control center [19:05] rodneymillerpca: it's an aspect ratio. Key word here being RATIO. 256*4 = 1024, 256*3 = 768 [19:05] help2man, so a few times during the ubuntu dev cycle, there is a sync from the debian repos (testing I believe), there are some patches that get added for the Ubuntu repos. Some software isn't in debian for various reasons and has been added to the Ubuntu repos though the traditional process [19:06] Bhalash ok lets try this a diferent way. what exactly is the 4:3? Is it like a zoom or something? [19:06] help2man, that is simplifying it a bit, but yea [19:06] the suggestions on this page don't quite work for me. http://askubuntu.com/questions/66339/how-do-i-solve-this-nvidia-driver-download-error [19:06] rodneymillerpca, width/height ratio [19:06] Ah ok roothorick beat me to it. [19:06] rodneymillerpca, 4:3 simply means that given a pixel, there are 4 pixels horizontally for every 3 pixels vertically [19:07] hello folks, please, I need an usb power up issue fixed... on Lenovo S205, Ubuntu Precise 64bit, I only get 1 out of 3 physical usb slots powered up. Here is the dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116112/ [19:07] I continue to get WARNING: /sys/module/nvidia_current/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind nvidia_current driver [19:07] rodneymillerpca: It is an aspect ratio. Divide 1024 by 4 and multiply it by 3: You get 768. For every 4 pixels across (x), you get 3 down (y). It is 1024 x pixels and 768 y pixels. [19:07] rodneymillerpca: think of aspect ratios like classes of resolutions that are different sizes but the same shape [19:07] rodneymillerpca: Answer me this in as many words: What *should* the screen resolution ideally be. What is it now? [19:07] gotcha , I would imagine there are peoples jobs just to test the debian software works on ubuntu when you mirrored it over [19:08] help2man: more like volunteers mostly take care of that [19:08] and in most cases that shouldn't be an issue but I am assuming somebody is payed to check [19:08] help2man: most distros don't have any kind of corporate backing, it's just a couple of dedicated hobbyists putting something together [19:09] Ok let me explain it better this way maybe. After upgrading 2 days ago to this Ubuntu It seems my screen is magnifying things (less desktop real state) [19:09] ubuntu, redhat/fedora, suse, are rather special in that regard [19:09] rodneymillerpca: what were you running before? [19:09] rodneymillerpca: Screenshot, please. Can you screenshot in Windows (assuming a dual boot) and screenshot in Linux. [19:09] so if ubuntu is free and a community thing I have always wonder how non-profit companies can stay in business like gnu , ubuntu , fsf ,..ya you can get donation but to pay every employ to survive I cann't see that always guarenteed to cover ? [19:10] rodneymillerpca: Don't take this the wrong way, but you haven't a clue what you are talking about, and right now a screenshot of the problem will greatly help me identify it. [19:10] I can. I am pure Ubuntu. Windows no more. [19:10] help2man, ubuntu isn't a non-profit, gnu and fsf etc have donations [19:10] ok screenshot I can do [19:10] help2man: ubuntu is NOT a free/community distro - it's a business [19:10] rodneymillerpca: Thank you. Also, can you supply me the make and model of monitor and video card? [19:11] help2man: Ubuntu kinda exists in a weird middle state. They have backing from a major non-profit (Canonical) but there's still a lot of hobbyist work that goes into it [19:11] roothorick, canonical isn't a non-profit [19:11] oh it isn't? my bad [19:11] roothorick, not even close [19:11] wait... where's the business model? [19:11] roothorick, same as redhat, support [19:12] interesting [19:12] they also have ubuntu one [19:12] ciao [19:12] help2man: well there you have it. They give the software away for free, then offer premium support to other businesses [19:12] hi [19:12] roothorick "help2man: most distros don't have any kind of corporate backing, it's just a couple of dedicated hobbyists putting something together" then for ubuntu if that was true there really shouldn't be much coding to do to create this...since a few people only equal a few man years of work :) ... so these billions of software already must have existed and they just touch up the kernel , and made the desktop look nice, add a few [19:12] apps , and market it very well to appeal to most [19:12] roothorick, they have consumer support too [19:13] !ot | help2man [19:13] help2man: #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! [19:13] my boot up time is 2mins now...waas 10 seconds b4....anyone know how to solve? [19:13] kingofswords: there is no way you were booting in ten seconds. [19:13] take this to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic roothorick help2man [19:13] rofl. I hate change. lol [19:13] rooot, why not? [19:14] kingofswords: I'd wager you were suspending (to RAM) and not actually shutting down [19:14] rooot, ssd drive...maybe 20 secs i dunno....does it matter? [19:15] ok one last thing before I move the discussion. help2man: well there you have it. They give the software away for free, then offer premium support to other businesses ..... how can they be certain enough business will uses and pay for support .. that is not guarenteed ??? [19:15] kingofswords: That long? :) [19:15] help2man, thats enough [19:15] help2man, um, thats how businesses work? [19:15] kingofswords: honestly, if you don't want to wait, you should probably just suspend to RAM instead of shutting down [19:15] How can I make it so a user can ONLY read,write and execute in their OWN home directory and no where else. [19:16] XiRoN: if they can't execute anything outside their home directory, they can't do... anything, really. [19:16] rooot, point is the boot up time has suddenly changed to a really long time [19:16] XiRoN: Thats the default, besides /tmp [19:16] XiRoN: chroot might be a better solution to whatever it is you're cooking [19:17] Bhalash ss is here http://rodneymillerpca.com/?q=node/10372 [19:17] rodneymillerpca: did you resize it? [19:18] Bhalash I have a gateway monitor 786n Simple 17" [19:18] rodneymillerpca: Can I see the original, unresized screenshot please? [19:18] rodneymillerpca: nevermind, I figured it out [19:19] Bhalash: http://rodneymillerpca.com/sites/default/files/images/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2014:11:02.png [19:19] rodneymillerpca: Well, you're getting 1024x768, and that's just how big things are in 1024x768. What kind of monitor are you using? [19:19] I was just going to suggest left click and view. thank you [19:19] another questions, how can I whitelist only 1 IP to connect to an SSH server? [19:20] rodneymillerpca: One sec. Looking up your montior and playing World of Warcraft at the same time. :) [19:20] XiRoN: I believe so. Mill over sshd_config and whatnot [19:20] I had a lot more desktop realestate in the last ubuntu [19:20] Take your time. No rush [19:21] rodneymillerpca, what version are you on? [19:21] rodneymillerpca: did anything change since you installed the previous version? [19:21] How come I can't read from a hfs+ mounted volume in ubuntu server? === thebug_ is now known as Guest98523 [19:21] I installed xubuntu-desktop, and it was able to read it fine. [19:21] rodneymillerpca: it looks like it's not getting EDID for some reason [19:21] Nothing. Just upgrade [19:21] rodneymillerpca, upgrade to what? [19:22] dcope, because ubuntu server doesn't have the necessary libraries to mount hfs+ stuff? [19:22] Hello, hi I can't ping an local network ip which is correspond to an ubuntu system. . Its shows destination host unreachable. But i can access other local ip's from that ubuntu system [19:22] oh I'm sorry. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [19:22] tgm4883: i've installed hfsutils [19:23] vigneshmoha: firewall. I wouldn't worry about it too much. [19:23] i disabled firewall already [19:24] dcope, did you install hfsplus? [19:24] yes [19:24] I was on Ubuntu 11.10 [19:24] rodneymillerpca: You don't get any larger options than 1024x768? [19:25] rodneymillerpca, do you need to install proprietary drivers? [19:25] roothorick: i disabled firewall already [19:26] vigneshmoha: it sounds suspect to me. It's either firewall or a routing table issue. End of story, there isn't anything else that could interfere. [19:26] Nope. that is the largest option. That I have always used [19:26] dcope, sorry IDK then, I don't have HFS devices [19:26] How do I register in irc? [19:26] The driver was put in for me with the update [19:26] rodneymillerpca: so you used 1024x768 in 11.10? [19:26] !register | cakeboss [19:26] Correct [19:26] cakeboss: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [19:26] rodneymillerpca, what desktop are you using? [19:27] roothorick: oki.. thanks for your time.. I'll check on that routing table [19:27] Ah here is a better way to explain. I use to be able top to bottom in 1 colom have 12 icons on the dectop. Now 6 would fill it [19:27] Folks, please, what can cause my USB ports to power on and off accidentally? [19:27] gnome === adrian is now known as adrianrly [19:28] rodneymillerpca: Could it be quite simply that icon sizes have changed? You can make them smaller. [19:28] broken pipe [19:28] rodneymillerpca: well, that's just how big things are at 1024x768, by default at least. You could try playing with icon size and what not [19:28] VanKush low power from power pack [19:28] rodneymillerpca: can I fix this? [19:28] any words on the ubuntu's new gnome flavour? [19:29] VanKush: driver hiccup, motherboard flaw/failure, sometimes a power issue [19:29] Larger power pack or newer. I had an issue with my usb mouse looseing power. [19:29] here is the dmesg output... can anybody give me some leads? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116112/ [19:29] rodneymillerpca, if you could fit 12, then you did something special [19:29] like making them smaller [19:30] Hello I need a litte help with ACPI extensions and grub [19:30] I cant shutdown my computer properly [19:31] VanKush: some devices just do goofy crap like that. Have you tried a different USB stick? [19:31] It could be tgm4883. It just seems to me the screen is magnified or amplified. [19:31] rodneymillerpca, but what we are trying to tell you is that is isn't [19:31] rodneymillerpca, you are just used to stuff being super small [19:32] rodneymillerpca: the thing is, Ubuntu is optimized for typical screen sizes of today, which tend to start at 1366x768 and only go up. 1024x768 is rather small. [19:32] rodneymillerpca, if you want to make things smaller again, you'll probably want to lookup how to change the DPI [19:32] ANother way to explain it also is in firefox I use to see my whole home page. [19:33] rodneymillerpca: roothorick http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp [19:33] rodneymillerpca: Well hey, how big is your current monitor anyway? Like physically, in inches [19:33] http://rodneymillerpca.com/ Now I see only as far as Worldofours menu spot on the right side [19:33] 17" [19:33] roothorick: I have problems to connect Telephone (for tethering the Cellular HSDPA connection to the netbook - SE xperia mini ST15) and any other device, such as mouse or usb key memory [19:34] rodneymillerpca, http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/05/how-to-change-font-and-ui-user.html [19:34] is there a way to group the imap inboxes in evolution? [19:34] rodneymillerpca: i'm guessing you used to use a higher resolution. 2 questions: 1) what video card is this "lspci | grep -i vga" if unsure 2) is this a CRT or LCD monitor? [19:35] VanKush: I've seen a flaw in some laptops and motherboards where they can't actually deliver the current they're required to by the USB spec. So your phone is drawing all the current it's legally allowed to by the standard but your mobo can't take it, most likely [19:35] zykotick9: The monitor appears to be a Gateway-branded Proview 786n. That /should/ support up to 1280x1024. [19:35] VanKush: try topping off your battery first and see if it's better behaved then [19:36] Bhalash: well - that answer one of my questions ;) i'm guessing 1280x1024 would be a lot more reasonable then 1024x768 [19:36] Bhalash, well that is probably the issue then. He needs to be at 1280x1024 instead of 1024x768 [19:36] Nvidia geforse 6150se [19:36] zykotick9: 1024x768 is a fallback resolution because virtually everything supports it. [19:36] that would make the icons appear smaller [19:36] nforse 430 [19:36] rodneymillerpca: 17" is *tiny*. You can't even get a new monitor smaller than 19" today. [19:36] Bhalash: its a vesa supported resolution for sure... [19:37] rodneymillerpca, open up jockey and see if it says it's using the proprietary drivers [19:37] Agreed, However why fix what ain't broke. lol [19:37] rodneymillerpca: Another theory: Ubuntu wasn't respecting the DPI from the EDID in 11.10 and now it is, and now things are the "right" size on your itty bitty monitor [19:37] jockey? [19:37] okay, that was odd. so for some reason, i was kicked from the channel. :( [19:38] rodneymillerpca, pastebin the output of 'jockey-text -l' [19:38] I am wondering if it was another resolution higher? [19:38] so can anybody explain to be how to get my pc to load ubuntu without the signal out of range message? p.s. i'm no coder. === william is now known as Guest26983 [19:39] Robitron: as before, it's almost always a crappy/ancient monitor or a bad cable [19:39] rodneymillerpca: you might want to have a look at this bug...

It wasn't Unity, it was everydamnedthing. [19:40] omg how in the world do you copy from the terminal. aparently control c and right click are a no go [19:40] tgm4883: Compiz didn't work period, no games worked, Flash would crash whatever browser you're using, nothing that called anything GL worked correctly, if at all [19:40] tgm4883: it's the nvidia driver with a 6150 (in comments) i'm trying to highlight [19:41] rodneymillerpca, right click should work, or use pastebinit [19:41] roothorick: rodneymillerpca Would this work? xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 60 [19:41] roothorick: i'm guessing your nvidia driver isn't working - thus no resolutions and no 3d [19:42] /msg nickserv identify [19:42] zykotick9: no, my driver *WAS* working.

It will not let me copy from there [19:42] hello, I'm having trouble booting a live cd of Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1525. It shows a small keyboard symbol and a person in a circle for a while, does nothing else, then eventually switches to text mode with a kernel panic saying it can't mount the root fs [19:42] rodneymillerpca, then use pastebinit [19:42] roothorick: i'm not talking about nv (that's deprecated) - it's nouveau or propritary at this point ;) [19:43] zykotick9: I'm talking about the nvidia binary driver. 295.40 would barf all over itself on a 6xxx [19:43] zykotick9: It had to do with a security patch destroying compatibility with certain older chipsets [19:43] the only option i see before it goes to that flashing message is my boot options. [19:43] roothorick: ahhh. gotcha. don't have that hardware ;) [19:43] zykotick9: and it absolutely KILLED 12.04 on an alarming number of notebooks [19:44] pastebinit? [19:44] Rookie here. lol [19:44] zykotick9: because it would see the nV chip and try to use Unity which would just crash and leave the user with nothing [19:44] rodneymillerpca, yes, it's a program that will put it to pastebin for you [19:44] !pastebinit | rodneymillerpca [19:44] ok without adding more programs.

Have you tried going into nvidia-settings and changing the resolution there? [19:56] well on top of that you'd have to install all the proprietary drivers and whatnot in the live environment [19:56] it's quite the project [19:56] yup [19:56] anyway [19:56] need to figure out persistance [19:56] Good idea. tgm4883 How or where. [19:57] if I do that,.. like [19:57] hi all. so i was recently using the open source nvidia driver, and then i "dpkg -i" 'd an nvidia-current package. didn't work, so i removed it from recovery console. rebooted into open source nvidia driver, and now the resolution is alllll minimal. used to run at 1650x??? or whatever tahat resolution was... now xrandr is reporting the max is 1280x720. any ideas? [19:57] Murd0ck: There's guides abound online. Try "Ubuntu live persistence file" in google [19:57] can I install it on one usb drive and hope from computer to computer? [19:57] should, yeah [19:57] kevin and I in same boat? [19:57] the persistence file is on the USB drive so it falls that drive around [19:57] rodneymillerpca, run nvidia-settings (probably with gksudo) and look at the xserver display configuration [19:58] kevin, why not use jockey to install the correct driver?

[19:59] rodneymillerpca, that isn't odd, that is how the drivers work [19:59] rodneymillerpca, which is exactly why I was trying to find out if you were using the correct driver [19:59] kevin: did you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? if so, try moving it to xorg.conf.back and restart Xorg [19:59] rodneymillerpca: That's a good thing, that's a confirmation that Ubuntu is getting the EDID [19:59] Please is there anybody to help me? [19:59] Murd0ck: looks good enough to me [19:59] Ok so we party now? lol [20:00] sweet [20:00] rodneymillerpca: switch to the biggest resolution it offers you [20:01] OMG! AWESOME!

[21:13] someone please help me. this is a simple fix and i know that someone in here can do it. i run many personal services from my box that i use daily. and i cant even use them because my computer loses the connection and only trys for 1 minute or so to reconnect, then gives up. if my computer is unhooked from internet completely, i want it to try to connect as long as its turned on.

[21:17] AcidRain2012: fix your connectivity issue instead [21:17] AcidRain2012: you have to have control of both ends for that to even make sense, before you consider whether it's a good idea [21:17] its not the timeout issue. its the issue that it wont connect after the timeout [21:17] i have control of the router [21:17] its mine [21:18] some said it was a network traffic to heavy. but i disabled everything, and it will stsill only stay connected for about 6hrs before it drops and wont reconnect [21:18] if 6 hrs [21:18] guess I joined in the middle of this discussion ..I'll back off [21:19] AcidRain2012: Then configure your router for reconnectinig to the internet or not dropping connection after a timeout. [21:19] It isnt a TCP problem really. [21:19] AcidRain2012: so your router has internet connectivity, but the connection between your pc and router gets disconnected?

[21:22] bekks: correct. it is connected to the router through a bridge/switch, which is then connected to my desktop's ethernet connection [21:23] AcidRain2012: Using wireless?

[22:25] W4sp, I dont want to use vlc for lyrics I want to play lyrics in osdlyrics [22:26] lemarc: (depends how you have the vbox networking really) but in your VM, install ssh server, then from terminal "ifconfig". then from the host try "ssh ip_of_vm" [22:27] lu [22:27] zykotick9>tried it, it says connection timed out.. vbox shows i am connected to internet via wired connection but on my host i am connected via wifi [22:29] lemarc: you might need to change the network settings in vbox. sorry i forget what the options for vbox are, but there should be something like "shared" or something (give the same IP as your network, instead of being NATed) [22:31] zykotick9>i cant figure out any such option in vbox [22:31] hey [22:32] is anyone alive? [22:36] nope [22:36] In Ubuntu 12.04, where is the option to view additional wireless networks (other than the one you're on and the couple that show in the networking drop-down menu). [22:36] ?* [22:37] zykotick9>the option i am getting is: not attached, NAT, bridged-adapter, internal network, host-only adapter and generic driver [22:37] Scrivener Right click --> Edit connections [22:37] Good Evening everyone [22:38] I'm trying to shrink an ext4 partition, I/ running mint Live from usb using gpart to do it, It wont do it. any better ways? [22:38] gparted* [22:38] uni4dfx: Alright, so I can manually add a connection, but how do I view additional wireless networks around? [22:38] mint: Why it "won't do it" [22:38] Hi, i'm having some throuble to make compiz run on my pinguy 12.04, any tips? [22:38] Scrivener what additional wireless networks? [22:39] vcamps, pinguy has its own support channels and forums. [22:39] it just... stopped, no error messages, nothing, I checked and nothing had been changed, this happened twice [22:39] mint, try a gparted live cd.. [22:39] mint, check 'dmesg' output also for any errors. [22:39] alright. [22:39] uni4dfx: There are other access points all around me. I'm in an apartment complex. Usually I can pick up quite a few. I just happen to notice that now I can't seem to find a list of them. [22:40] Brb [22:40] Scrivener Well they're either off or it cannot detect them for some reason. It could be the driver is shitty. [22:40] It only shows 3 or so very strong ones in the networking drop-down. [22:40] Seriously? =.= [22:40] sorry, i'm aint getting much help over their. [22:41] Yep. I see it happen quite often. Works really well in Windows, but can barely detect anything in Ubuntu, on the same computer. [22:41] hi all [22:41] am I interrupting? [22:42] Fresh install of 10.04, with Compiz off the panels (randomly?) become invisible. With Compiz on, no mouse cursor. [22:42] Well, figures. It drops the network now and then, anyways, and it won't reconnect without me unplugging and re-inserting the NIC. [22:42] Which is a USB adapter. [22:42] vcamps, pinguy is not supported by this channel. I suggest using normal ubuntu If you want support here. [22:42] Maybe I should just buy an internal NIC -.- [22:43] Well, erm, wifi. [22:43] ok, tanks anyway... [22:43] Scrivener do some research on the driver it's using. There could be a solution, or at least you'll find someone with the same problem. [22:43] I'm really happy with this release of Ubuntu, but, yeah... still has its issues, as does every distro :P [22:43] theres not a lot Pinguy does that normal ubuntu cant do. ;) [22:43] everything has issues. ;) [22:44] I've looked for information on the network drops before, and I've found some AskUbuntu questions that look like the same issue, but each one of them was closed because the problem was "too localized" or somesuch. [22:46] hey, I'm having trouble with my boot configuration. I installed ubuntu 12.04 with the "install alongside windows 7" option, and now when I boot I don't get the option to boot to ubuntu [22:47] anyone? [22:47] thisguy what do you get then [22:47] it just boots to win7 [22:47] /msg ubottu !grub [22:47] thisguy do you have multiple hard drives? [22:48] thisguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [22:49] thisguy: Boot to the Ubuntu install LiveCD and follow instructions ^^^ [22:49] how do i connect ubuntu on vbox to internet through wifi? [22:50] I'd like to start the gui from a command prompt on oneiric server on a beagleboard xm [22:50] yes, I have hdd 1 with 1 partition containing win7 and a second hard drive with 2 partitions, 1 data and 1 ubuntu [22:50] <_cb> The only time I use XP is when I talk to my family overseas on Skype because they can't hear me well on Ubuntu. Have Volume to the max. Any tricks to make output sound higher? [22:50] lemarc, vbox uses a local network by default to the host pc.. it dosent even see that its wireless or not. [22:50] bekks thanks for your help, all are updated now. [22:50] thisguy just change the hard drive boot priority in BIOS, problem solved [22:51] thisguy: repair grub by booting with livecd and using boot-repair tool [22:51] I'll try, but I think it groups the hard drives together. I'll try that and be back in a sec if that doesn't. I'll be back on the linux live disc [22:51] thisguy: You should have allowed grub to be installed on the Master Boot Record of the primary drive, (replacing the MS Windows boot loader). [22:51] CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE window that minimizes and maximizes by itself; I am trying to use blender and play kag and this is ridiculous; I disabled the auto minimize in CCSM and its still doing it [22:51] Dr_willis: is it possible to change the settings of vbox? [22:51] thisguy: Install and run Boot-Repair [22:52] HaltingState, you are the first person ive seen thats had such a issue [22:52] lemarc, vbox has dozens of settings you can change.... [22:52] thisguy: "Click "Recommended Repair". etc... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [22:52] thisguy ubuntu probably installed grub to the wrong hard drive's MBR... just change the boot order and you're done, don't bother with grub repair [22:52] lemarc, the defaults work for me 90% of the time for my linux installs [22:53] Dr_willis: i tried every setting in vbox but couldnt make it work, google is also not helping me [22:53] Dr_willis, if you have a window and you move it and then defocus it; it moves the window to the BOTTOM of the screen automatically [22:53] but only for some windows [22:53] it does it for Xchat but not xterm [22:54] anyone know how i can control my gpu fan speed in ubuntu? [22:54] for xchat, KAG and blender but not for nautilus or gimp [22:54] it only does it for some programs but not others [22:54] jeffrey it depends on the gpu vendor [22:54] lemarc, i dont really know what your issue is.. vbox here by default uses a shared network thing with the Host machine. by default it shares the network with every virtualbox os. [22:54] Is there a way to list processes by network usage? [22:55] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads SOME THING IMPORTANT IS MISSING [22:55] HaltingState, as a test. make a new user. see if it affects them. [22:56] !alternative [22:56] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [22:56] Dr_willis: Take a look at a full list of our previous versions and alternative downloads [22:56] As I said "something is missing" [22:56] Is there a tool that would let me customize the Ubuntu Live CD/DVD image? I want to add some stuff to it. [22:56] Hellz_Bellz, if you want to be vague.. then have fun... [22:57] its missing that "full list" [22:57] Hellz_Bellz: What is missing? [22:57] ubuntu.com > downloads > desktop > alternatives = missing everything [22:58] am i missing the fact that it only lists torrents for 12.04 and alternative languges? [22:58] I meant "are you" [22:58] http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ seems to have everything here... [22:58] there are no old versions [22:58] Hellz_Bellz: What version do you want? [22:59] http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/ seems to have old versions here also... [22:59] im making the point that the downloads sections says its a full list of alternative downloadsa and it obviously isnt [22:59] Hellz_Bellz: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/ [22:59] >.> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [22:59] click "alternatives" [22:59] this needs to be fixed [23:00] Hellz_Bellz: the alternate, torrent, dvd with languages...seem everything is there [23:00] You are refering to the --> Download the text-based installer link? [23:00] * Hellz_Bellz facepalm [23:01] no... im referring to the fact that its saying its a full list of OD VERSIONS [23:01] its not! [23:01] whats not there exactly then? [23:01] everything that isnt 12.04? [23:02] Im seeing things earliuer then 12.04 here... [23:02] wat [23:02] Hellz_Bellz: What is "OD VERSIONS"? [23:02] OLD [23:02] the link 'Download the text-based installer' -> goes to what seems to be a round-robin list.. i think. The gb.releases.ubuntu.com url i gave above has from the last LTS and up... [23:02] Hellz_Bellz: What version do you want? [23:02] Hellz_Bellz: 10.04? [23:03] the point i was making is that the main downloads section doesnt appear to have a link to a full list of alternatives [23:03] at least for me [23:03] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads shows only 12.04 [23:03] and text based [23:03] Round Robin list of servers to spread the load..... is my guess... [23:03] and languages [23:03] no previous versions [23:04] its explicitly stated on the linking page that its a full list [23:04] We have no controll in this channel over the language of the web site. [23:04] who does, it needs to be fixed [23:04] I should be able to run this as a boot up disk right? [23:05] every time i select that link.. i go to a differnt server that seems to have the 'full' list... [23:05] He has a point. It does say "Take a look at a full list of our previous versions and alternative downloads" [23:05] the sites/lists and format are differnt depending on the Mirror. [23:05] why dont ALL the mirrors have the ful list? [23:05] Yo Dr willis === Kitarst_ is now known as Kitar|st [23:06] The Mirrors are providing a free service.. so they can do what they want. [23:06] Just saw a mirror site that went back to 6.06 [23:06] http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/ [23:07] i get no sound on resume. lenovo t420 running ubuntu 12.04 lts 64bit edition. i have intel integrated sound. [23:07] many of the mirror sites also mirror things other then Ubuntu it seems. [23:07] HarryStoner [23:07] i keep clicking and im getting the same thing [23:07] no changes [23:08] on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads#alternate 'download the text based installer' seems to go to a differnt site every timne for me. [23:08] releases.ubuntu.com is what it SHOULD link to [23:08] as its saying previous versions and alternative downloads [23:09] So go file a bug report.. we cant do anything about it in this channel.. we are support.. not the company. [23:10] * Dr_willis notices some mirror sites dont even have ANY files. ;) [23:10] what channel is bug tracking? [23:10] Hellz_Bellz launchpad.net [23:10] http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/ [23:10] Hellz_Bellz, thats way out of scope for this channel [23:10] has Nothing. ;P [23:10] * Dr_willis reccomends the torrents. [23:11] bazhang: Well, maybe not way out, maybe just out. :() [23:12] My sound keeps cutting out. It keeps like I can only have one thing making sound at any one time. Is this normal? === diamonds is now known as Guest31289 [23:12] soulstitchmmo: Depends on what is making sound. === enchilado is now known as notenchilado [23:13] Why would that be a factor? In windows everything that is supposed to make sound, makes sound. Why is it different in Linux? [23:13] Soulsti [23:14] soulstitchmmo: You could test by opening two terminals and do " [23:14] SoulShadow, sounds like somthing is goofy in pulse audio if some apps are blocking other apps from playing sound. [23:14] soulstitchmmo, , sounds like somthing is goofy in pulse audio if some apps are blocking other apps from playing sound. [23:14] if the apps are all playing nicely and using Pulse audio like they should.. they should 'share' the sound output. [23:14] soulstitchmmo: You could test by opening two terminals and do "play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*" in each, one after another. You should hear both playing, one little behind the other. [23:15] anyone got a sec? Can't start desktop on beagleboard oneiric installed boots to term. === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan [23:15] actually its been ages since ive heard of anyone wth 'sounds being blocked' issues. [23:15] did ap-get desktop [23:15] installed fine but can't start it up :( [23:15] jumpy, you mean sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [23:16] yes, trying not to be too verbose here [23:16] Dr_willis: flashplugin or flashplayer does some goofy stuff. [23:16] I use FlashReplace for Firefox. :) My flash videos play in VLC now... even on windows. ;P [23:16] Dr_willis: And that may very well be the case with soulstitchmmo [23:17] Dr_willis: Well, that is probably a better alternative. [23:17] hey I feel silly to be asking this question in such a big channel... but what's the default mode for all the files in the home directory? [23:18] I was fooling around, and just did chmod 300 * in ~ just to see what it did [23:18] MagneticDuck: mode? [23:18] what chmod sets [23:18] a privilege mode [23:18] hello [23:19] hi [23:19] Morning all [23:19] this is such a big channel... someone has to know what the default privilege mode for the files in home!! [23:19] MagneticDuck: Oh, should be 644 [23:19] ah [23:19] Ijust upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 and the mouse has dissapeared what can i do to bring it back [23:21] weird... now I lost access to all the sub directories in home [23:21] I have to use -r? [23:21] that stands for recursive when used on chmod right? [23:21] MagneticDuck, files must be 644 and folders 755 [23:22] okay... [23:22] if I'm in the home directory, what command do I use to get back to normal [23:22] after applying chmod 300 * [23:22] >< [23:22] (yes I'm just learning linux) [23:23] Hi guys [23:23] tum tum [23:23] is it possible to ssh on a particular port on my own machine? [23:23] Can somebody tell me if ubuntu is going to fix the problem with waking up from sleep? [23:23] MagneticDuck, you already did the chmod with 644, right ? [23:23] ues [23:23] chmod 644 * [23:23] again, in ~ [23:23] lemarc if there's a ssh server listening on that port, sure [23:24] MagneticDuck: for files, 644 for directories: 755 [23:24] okay... === livingdaylight is now known as nobodhi [23:24] what command do I use [23:24] usr13 [23:24] MagneticDuck, then for the folders, you can do : find -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; [23:25] maxdepth? [23:25] okay [23:25] uni4dfx: can you tell the terminal command to do that/=? [23:25] okay, for all of you who were on before: I tried changing the boot order of the hdds, it wouldn't let me. I tried going into the linux live disc and something when wrong (to be explained). [23:25] lemarc ssh address -p port [23:25] nathal: follow the discussion at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1444822 [23:25] when I clicked 'try ubuntu' it went to a login screen requesting username and password [23:25] problem solved [23:25] ty [23:25] ^^ [23:25] MagneticDuck, yw [23:25] I'll learn what this all really means later today [23:26] >_< [23:26] MagneticDuck: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:26] thisguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [23:26] So I cant log into 12.04 anymore not even as guest...whe the terminal screen comes up i can vaguely see something about vpn daemon before it cuts out and says invalid password [23:26] lol I'm a bit of a blabber mouth on irc [23:26] thisguy: you could try "ubuntu" with no password if it happens again [23:26] Ijust upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 and the mouse has dissapeared what can i do to bring it back [23:26] what a regression for ubuntu. I use it since 6 years [23:26] now I just can't change the screen saver [23:27] I can't change the refresh rate [23:27] that's just ridiculous [23:27] uni4dfx: -p specifies port on remote machine, i want to ssh to port on my own machine as i have port forwarded a particular port to port 22 of ubuntu on vbox [23:27] I tried 'ubuntu' it didn't work [23:27] is there a way to add ubuntu to the windows bootlauncher? [23:27] thisguy: Boot LiveCD (or LiveUSB) Install and run Boot-Repair, Click "Recommended Repair". [23:28] lemarc no it doesn't, -p specifies the port on whichever address you are connecting to [23:28] thisguy: Replace the MS Windows boot loader with grub [23:28] Okay, so I see there are various fixes to attempt for the suspend problem. Hopefully they'll fix it across the board in the next release. [23:28] thisguy: It is much easier... [23:28] usr13 is that directed toward me?
