| MagneticDuck | okay, start with a few tutorials | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| MagneticDuck | any good tutorials guys? | 00:00 |
| MagneticDuck | I'm reading a few | 00:00 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What kind of mouse is it? (and I know it is USB, you already told me that...) | 00:00 |
| MagneticDuck | I'm learning linux myself too, someone1 | 00:00 |
| someone1 | k | 00:00 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 its a Logitech M90 | 00:00 |
| bazhang | !manual | someone1 | 00:00 |
| ubottu | someone1: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 00:00 |
| MagneticDuck | someone1: as to copying the files to a "www directory".. | 00:00 |
| bazhang | !rute | someone1 and this | 00:00 |
| ubottu | someone1 and this: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 00:00 |
| MagneticDuck | someone1: that's networking | 00:01 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Ok I dono what a M90 is. Does it have a scroll wheel and buttons on either side? | 00:01 |
| Fusion_ | yes it does | 00:01 |
| nakkor | bump, I slightly screwed up sudo. Whever I type sudo (i.e. sudo ls) the first line out is - sudo: unable to resolve host | 00:02 |
| nakkor | I have no idea wtf caused that, anyone else know? | 00:02 |
| Auzy | nakkor, Maybe check /etc/hosts ? | 00:03 |
| Auzy | Check if localhost is in there.. | 00:03 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Does the rest of the Desktop look pretty normal? | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | set your hostname nakkor | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | !hostname | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 00:03 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Is there a distortion in the way the desktop looks? | 00:03 |
| Fusion_ | yes it does. all the menu bars on gnome are there and the keyboard works normal just the mouse is not there | 00:04 |
| y0om4 | I am trying to enter a code into visiondirect for first time and new customers. I tried clearing my cooking, changing my ip, logging out, and using Tor browser but I still cannot use the code again. I do not understand how they could be logging my computer that disallows me to reuse the coupon. What could they be doing that prevents that? | 00:04 |
| bazhang | !ot | y0om4 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | y0om4: #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! | 00:05 |
| nakkor | Auzy: Dr_willis I don't think it is a hostname thing, it is whenever I type sudo anywhere that is the first line out | 00:05 |
| MagneticDuck | hey.. question... why doesn't "kill $$" kill the running shell? | 00:05 |
| ghostchick | nakkor, what did you changed to the configuration? | 00:05 |
| Auzy | have you checked though nakkor ? | 00:05 |
| nakkor | ghostchick: that is the problem, idk | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | Nakkel, its trying to determina your hostname/ip/stuff is my guess.... thats what the error means to me at least. | 00:05 |
| Auzy | it could be something completely unrelated too.. | 00:06 |
| someone1 | my answer wasnt there on the documentaction | 00:06 |
| nakkor | Auzy: yeah, nothing in etc hosts | 00:06 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: In gconf-editor it is: gnome -> peripherals -> mouse | 00:06 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: I think I told you wrong before | 00:06 |
| Fusion_ | yes that is there | 00:06 |
| ghostchick | nakkor, 12.04? all updated ? | 00:06 |
| MagneticDuck | question: what's the hotkey to move a window around to another workspace? | 00:06 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What is cursor_size value? | 00:07 |
| bazhang | someone1, you want to use the cd as a repo, to install software from? | 00:07 |
| someone1 | i cant cd rom on ubuntu server 12 | 00:07 |
| Fusion_ | 18 | 00:07 |
| nakkor | I am a newb, but it seems like something cat piped to it and it is spitting it out | 00:07 |
| nakkor | ghostchick: 12.04 LTS | 00:07 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What is cursor_theme ? | 00:07 |
| someone1 | i just wanna see the files on cd rom and copy them to harddisk | 00:07 |
| bazhang | someone1, is that a yes? | 00:07 |
| Fusion_ | DMZ-White | 00:07 |
| someone1 | just like on dos | 00:08 |
| MagneticDuck | okay | 00:08 |
| MagneticDuck | first you mount the cdrom | 00:08 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Well, looks normal. | 00:08 |
| Fusion_ | yea thats the issue | 00:08 |
| tightwork | is ubuntu 12.04 using compiz? | 00:08 |
| ghostchick | nakkor, check your pms | 00:08 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Why? | 00:08 |
| someone1 | magnetic i dont know anything about console commands | 00:08 |
| ghostchick | tightwork, the ubuntu unity version yes | 00:08 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What? | 00:08 |
| bazhang | someone1, you'd need the alternate cd to use as a software repository. there is no copying files from CD to install as you are imagining with dos | 00:08 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 because i cant see the mouse | 00:09 |
| nakkor | ghostchick: this is what a sample of it looks like http://pastebin.com/g6aU7DKj | 00:09 |
| bazhang | !alternate | someone1 download this | 00:09 |
| ubottu | someone1 download this: 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 | 00:09 |
| tightwork | ghostchick: how can I check what I have? | 00:09 |
| nakkor | line 2 is the poblem | 00:09 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Do you see anything where the cursor should be? | 00:09 |
| nakkor | ghostchick: sorry, pms? Permissions? | 00:09 |
| someone1 | ummm hope that tells how to mount a cd rom | 00:09 |
| ghostchick | tightwork, if you installed ubuntu 12.04 you are running compiz and therefore unity | 00:09 |
| Fusion_ | i have got it to look like a squar box with lines through making gdm defult instead of ligtdm | 00:10 |
| ghostchick | nakkor, personal messages lol | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | nakkor, pastebin your /etc/hosts file | 00:10 |
| tightwork | ghostchick: how can I turn off compiz? | 00:10 |
| bazhang | someone1, you dont mount it | 00:10 |
| someone1 | umm mounting it with mount dev/cd rom ? | 00:10 |
| MagneticDuck | someone1: hope this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/ | 00:10 |
| bazhang | someone1, you simply are not listening | 00:10 |
| MagneticDuck | it's a nice big tutorial on mounting stuff | 00:10 |
| bazhang | MagneticDuck, thats not what is needed here | 00:11 |
| MagneticDuck | okay | 00:11 |
| n2diy | what plugin do I need to watch youtube in chromium? | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | n2diy, you can enable the html5 feature of chromium on youtube with the http://youtube.com/html5 page ;) or install flash.. | 00:12 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: DUDE, what youtube use for HTML5? what video format? | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | DelphiWorld, that would be 'webm' | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | I belive. | 00:13 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: ah. what about FF/IE? | 00:13 |
| MagneticDuck | woah, html is getting powerful! | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | DelphiWorld, if they support webm..... | 00:13 |
| MagneticDuck | :P | 00:13 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: LOL | 00:13 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: otherwise flash fallback | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | I use FlashReplacer plugin on Firefox.. i watch flash videos in VLC. ;P | 00:14 |
| tightwork | ever since i put on ubuntu my laptop has been super hot... i think its compiz, how can I turn it off? | 00:14 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Still there? | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | so i dont fallback to flash either.. ;P | 00:14 |
| Fusion_ | yes i am | 00:14 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What display adapter do you have? | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | tightwork, use the unity-2d desktop would be one way to test that. | 00:14 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: What is your video card? | 00:14 |
| Fusion_ | Nvidia Quattron 4 | 00:14 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha | 00:15 |
| DelphiWorld | dr_jesus: yolarrydabombu wanna laugh ? | 00:15 |
| glitsj16 | tightwork: you can check what desktop session you are now running by entering 'echo $DESKTOP_SESSION' in a terminal .. Unity (with compiz) session is called 'ubuntu' i believe, so if that is what you get as output from the command you can change to another non-compiz session of choice by doing a logout and changing session in the loginscreen | 00:15 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: you wanna laugh ? | 00:15 |
| DelphiWorld | Dr_willis: i didn't evean know what channel i'm talking to you on:P | 00:15 |
| Dr_willis | hmm? | 00:15 |
| bazhang | DelphiWorld, lets get back on topic. | 00:16 |
| tightwork | glitsj16: says ubuntu, ok I will try it ty | 00:16 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 00:16 |
| DelphiWorld | bazhang: :P | 00:16 |
| bazhang | DelphiWorld, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat NOT here | 00:16 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: In a terminal. Ctrl-Alt-t to launch a terminal. | 00:16 |
| DelphiWorld | bazhang: is that shit chat? ... BOOM! | 00:17 |
| ghostchick | tightwork, check your personal messages | 00:17 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 mv: cannot stat `/etc/x11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 00:17 |
| n2diy | Thanks Dr_willis, youtube is now working, how about videos on facebook? | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | n2diy, if they use flash.. install flash.. or a flashreplacer plugin... | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | !flash | 00:19 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:19 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: sudo Xorg -configure | 00:19 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 gives me Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0 | 00:20 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Oh yea, that you have to do with the Xserver turned off. AND, if you have the Nvidia driver installed, you should probably use nvidia-xconfig | 00:22 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 dont have the nvidia graphics installed | 00:22 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Well, maybe just install it. | 00:23 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Do you want to? | 00:23 |
| Fusion_ | i will give anything a try usr13 i dont want to downgrade back to 11.10 | 00:23 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: jockey-gtk | 00:26 |
| Fusion_ | usr13 whats that? | 00:26 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: Run: jockey-gtk #It will install Nvidia driver. | 00:26 |
| Fusion_ | ahh ok | 00:27 |
| usr13 | Fusion_: It's the "Additional Driver" app | 00:27 |

| mahir256 | i have a windows 7 laptop hooked up wirelessly to the internet, and a lubuntu desktop connected via ethernet (not cross-over) to the laptop's ethernet port. | 00:37 |
| mahir256 | how would i configure the lubuntu machine to work with the laptop? | 00:38 |
| mahir256 | also, on the windows machine the wired and wireless connections are bridged. | 00:38 |
| Auzy | You mean so the network works mahir? | 00:38 |
| Auzy | Or, to share files? | 00:39 |
| Salman | Auzy chat me | 00:39 |
| mahir256 | no, i mean i want to hook up the desktop to the internet through the laptop | 00:39 |
| Auzy | Ok mahir.. Normally, the lubuntu one should just work with DHCP.. But, if you use static DHCP allocation mahir256 .. Sometimes you get IP conflicts | 00:40 |
| Salman | Auzy chat me | 00:40 |
| Auzy | Easiest way.. On the windows machine, ipconfig /all | 00:40 |
| OerHeks | mahir256, that would be a windows 7 isssue, ICS internet connection sharing | 00:40 |
| Auzy | OerHeks, not if its bridged.. | 00:41 |
| Salman | Auzy: You how my name green color chat | 00:41 |
| === burak is now known as Guest79433 | ||
| Auzy | find out the IP address, the subnet (probably 255.255.255.0), and Gateway.. If IP address is 192.168.1.1, you set the lubuntu one to another number (if its above 100, maybe set it to 70 or something, to stop a conflict).. Gateway / subnet same as windows.. | 00:42 |
| Auzy | Salman, No idea.. | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | Salman, if you type someones chatname, it will appear green or other colour. Do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 00:42 |
| Salman | How OerHeks | 00:43 |
| Auzy | mahir256, but if lubuntu says the cable is unplugged, then, you have a faulty cable, the cable isn't a crossover, windows adapter is disabled, or another problem (ie, good luck) | 00:43 |
| ki4ro_ | Why doesn't scangear upgrade automatically like other programs | 00:44 |

| ki4ro_ | OerHeks: can I fix that on my machines or what? | 00:48 |
| OerHeks | ki4ro_, probably yes, install the latest one from the canon website. | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | Salman, theres no need to be Msging me private messages.. Most people tend to ignore them | 00:49 |
| ki4ro_ | OerHeks: I meant is there a way to correct my machines so that they get the necessary updates automatically | 00:49 |
| Salman | Chat me private chat | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | ki4ro_, only if canon produces a PPA, then updates can be send. and they will not. | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | Salman, why should anyone Private chat you? If you have a Ubuntyu support question.. ask it IN THE CHANNEL. | 00:50 |

| Auzy | ki4ro_, Pretty much.. it's not compatible with simplescan or other generic drivers? | 00:51 |
| ki4ro_ | Auzy: Don't know, but I don't think anything can "see" it until I get the latest scangear | 00:52 |
| ki4ro_ | Auzy: Very frustrating and aggravating | 00:53 |
| maucat | ki4ro_ hello | 00:54 |
| Auzy | ki4ro_, I'd probably recommend bugging Canon though, and request they make an APT repo kindly.. With steam coming later this near or next, that will bring games onboard, and a lot more people to Linux, which should make it a better platform to target for development anyway.. But suggest the idea | 00:54 |
| ki4ro_ | Auzy: Thanks for the advice...have a good evening | 00:55 |

| Guest79433 | dont work | 01:02 |
| malikmasr | im having some trouble with vpn | 01:02 |
| Auzy | malikmasr, I switched to OpenVPN personally.. I assume as a server.. L2TP / PPTP have trouble with some routers | 01:02 |
| === Guest72951 is now known as Animeking | ||
| malikmasr | Auzy, the only reason i avoided openvpn was i dont think its supported on ios devices | 01:03 |
| Auzy | I've never checked malikmasr.. That might be true. | 01:03 |
| === Guest79433 is now known as burrakk | ||
| malikmasr | i believe i have the l2tpd vpn working, but for some reason it only connects with my iphone | 01:04 |
| malikmasr | windows doesnt connect | 01:04 |
| malikmasr | nor ubuntu | 01:04 |
| malikmasr | which i found to be odd | 01:04 |
| burrakk | ok thanks | 01:04 |
| Auzy | malikmasr, Thats why we gave it up lol.. connecting for us was always inconsistent at the best of times. We'd get random d/c's on some routers, and setting it up was a pain.. Theoretically.. PPTP should be a lot easier (but less secure) than L2TP though | 01:05 |
| evilytwisted | HI, has anyone ever played warcraft 3 lan using linux by hamachi or managed to get the bnet version to allow hosting games?> | 01:05 |
| malikmasr | yes thats why i ignored pptp, the lack of security | 01:05 |
| malikmasr | is that a major issue though? | 01:06 |
| Auzy | also, malikmasr you need to be forwarding ports properly, and a few other things | 01:06 |
| jeffrey | how to reset compiz settings | 01:06 |
| === The is now known as Guest62764 | ||
| malikmasr | Auzy i think the port forwarding is correct, the iphone connects no problem, its windows and ubuntu that fail to connect to the vpn | 01:06 |
| malikmasr | Auzy, do you know if the cisco vpn requires cisco hardware? its not a software correct? | 01:07 |
| Auzy | I cant help in either.. I got PPTP working somewhat, but L2TP and IPsec apparently isn't standardised, so you could be having issues for that reason too.. And yes.. Cisco needs hardware, but, the client needs a support contract I think | 01:08 |
| Auzy | You can use OpenVPN on iOS apparently, if you jailbreak, but not a commercial solution | 01:08 |
| Salman | So | 01:08 |
| Auzy | I mean, nto commercially viable, because, Jailbreaking is risky, and inconsistent | 01:09 |
| malikmasr | Ok, i may try OpenVPN then | 01:09 |
| malikmasr | It requires certificates? | 01:09 |
| Auzy | It might be worth it.. Since it uses a UDP tunnel, it works fine.. You could also use SSH port tunnels too I guess (but thats a bit tacky) | 01:10 |
| Auzy | And, not sure if it needs certs.. We always use a NAS as the server | 01:10 |
| malikmasr | do you have a guide that u can recommend for me to setup openvpn? | 01:10 |
| sdfsd | Help requested for diagnosing SSH authentication denied issue on ubuntu (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1105450/) | 01:10 |
| malikmasr | apparently its easier to setup then ipsec/l2tpd | 01:11 |
| Auzy | Oh wait.. one last issue you MAY have.. Check the subnet of your network.. If your network subnet on L2TP is 192.168.0.X, but you are currently on that subnet, there is a conflict | 01:11 |
| malikmasr | I have already checked that | 01:11 |
| malikmasr | no go | 01:11 |
| Auzy | that might explain the ubuntu / windows issue, if you aren't on wifi | 01:11 |
| Auzy | oh | 01:11 |
| malikmasr | i used a 10.0 subnet for clients | 01:11 |
| malikmasr | well iphones isnt really a necessity | 01:12 |
| malikmasr | i just need to make it so i can be a part of the local network when im remote | 01:12 |
| malikmasr | so pptpd or openvpn are my best shot i assume | 01:12 |
| Auzy | No guide on OVPN.. QNAP/Synology automates the process, but, it looks easy | 01:12 |
| malikmasr | ok ill give it a go then, would u recommend openvpn over pptpd? | 01:13 |
| jeffrey | what is a good unity replacement? | 01:13 |
| malikmasr | pptp* | 01:14 |
| malikmasr | sorry | 01:14 |
| Auzy | yep malikmasr.. PPTP has known security issues, OpenVPN doesn't.. PPTP also uses a weird protocol | 01:14 |
| Guest5067 | hi | 01:14 |
| malikmasr | ok thank you so much | 01:14 |
| malikmasr | ill give it a go | 01:14 |
| Auzy | whereas OpenVPN uses standard UDP, so its more likely to work anywhere you need | 01:14 |
| Auzy | Also, you can get openVPN working on DDWRT and such apparently | 01:14 |
| malikmasr | awesome, sounds promising | 01:16 |

| * Guest5067 Auzy hi | 01:19 | |
| Auzy | malikmasr, like I said, thats what we now deploy for customers.. OpenVPN is standardised and NAT traversing on both sides.. IPSEC isn't.... But IPSEC has proven security, whereas, openVPN maybe isn't as proven | 01:19 |

| Allanon09 | Hello, I am looking for someone who might be able to help me figure out an issue with a user browsing files on a samba share. The user can browse everything on the share except what I moved to the server today. I appreciate anyone's help. | 01:29 |
| SecretFire | once I try to mount it to a certain directory, it fails and says that the device doesnt exist | 01:29 |
| Auzy | IdleOne, He isn't listening.. His /version clearly shows he has IOS IRC clients.. And he wants help with making people green or something.. I dunno | 01:29 |

| ghostchick | ardian__, the lightdm screen you mean ? | 01:30 |
| escott | SecretFire, i'd like to see your mount command, but you might also check dmesg. sometimes if the usb disk is going bad it responds incorrectly and gets bounced from the usb bus the moment you try to read anything from it | 01:31 |
| Auzy | Thanks... | 01:31 |
| lauratika | im using system monitor appl for the taskbar but it wont load,it loads a picture in home foldeer instead any ideas why this behaviour? | 01:31 |
| SecretFire | escott : I will pastebin for you | 01:31 |
| Allanon09 | Hello, I have the exact same file permissions on files in two different folders under the same parent but the user is only able to see the contents of one of those folders. Any ideas? | 01:33 |
| ardian__ | ghostchick, not sure how its called | 01:33 |
| ardian__ | but I know gnome is gdm | 01:33 |
| ardian__ | and kde is kdm | 01:33 |
| ardian__ | you know the login screen that you have in unity that changes with your pics | 01:34 |
| ghostchick | ardian__, it is lightdm | 01:34 |
| escott | Allanon09, what are the permissions on the folders themselves? | 01:34 |
| Allanon09 | those are exactly the same as well. | 01:34 |
| escott | Allanon09, you can lsattr on the files | 01:35 |
| Allanon09 | it shows -------------e- on a directory and file that works, and on the files that do not work | 01:37 |
| SecretFire | escott : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116672/ | 01:37 |

| escott | SecretFire, disk is going bad. its getting bounced from the bus when you try to read it | 01:39 |
| SecretFire | escott : Is there any way to recover the data? | 01:40 |
| escott | SecretFire, you might have more success removing the drive from the usb adapter and directly connecting the the SATA bus | 01:40 |
| ghostchick | escott, i have a usb key (4gb) that doesnt appear anymore anywhere , any tips ? | 01:41 |
| escott | Allanon09, so no special attributes are set on those files. unless you are reading ls -l wrong i'm not sure what it might be | 01:41 |
| SecretFire | escott : that is a little beyond my comprehension. Are you saying to dismantle it and remove the disk and directly connect it as if it were an internal? | 01:41 |
| escott | ghostchick, | 01:41 |
| escott | SecretFire, thats what i would try. you might see if anyone else has ideas or ask in ##hardware for other ideas | 01:42 |
| Allanon09 | escott: I wish... they are literally the same. I dont have selinux installed... i don't have acls enabled | 01:42 |
| usr13 | SecretFire: What are you trying to do? | 01:42 |
| escott | ghostchick, some details might help, otherwise i would brush up on your harry potter perhaps there is a magical reappearing spell in there | 01:42 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : trying to recover data from my external hdd, which i just discovered is going bad | 01:43 |
| escott | Allanon09, are they on the same partition? can you touch files in the folders? | 01:43 |
| ghostchick | escott, [110927.900103] usb 1-2: device not accepting address 14, error -71 | 01:44 |
| usr13 | SecretFire: It is sata ? | 01:44 |
| escott | usr13, usb. read error on mount and bounces from the bus | 01:44 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : as far as I know | 01:44 |
| Allanon09 | escott: as my user yes, as the user "media" i can't even see them. | 01:44 |
| izunauchiha03 | ciao | 01:45 |
| escott | Allanon09, but as this "media" user you can see one folder but not the other? | 01:45 |
| izunauchiha03 | !list | 01:45 |
| ubottu | izunauchiha03: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 01:45 |
| escott | ghostchick, sorry, don't know what you can do there | 01:46 |
| Allanon09 | escott: I can see every folder. Today I uploaded some data to the server as "me". As media I can see those folders along with everything that was already there. I can't see any of the files in the newly uploaded folders as media. | 01:46 |
| usr13 | SecretFire: Sometimes, when a drive is failing, it is overheating as well, and if that is the case, you can sometimes let it cool down, maybe even use some method of cooling it or keeping it cool, (maybe opening the case and using a fan or some other cooling technique)... But at any rate, when you fire it up, be prepaired to grab as much as you can fast before it quits reading again. | 01:47 |
| ghostchick | escott, no worries and thanks actually i guess the usb has borked , i will find a way though : P | 01:47 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : thats near impossible, as I can't even get it to mount | 01:47 |
| escott | Allanon09, but the permissions and ownership of the files that cant be seen are the same as the previous files (ie you setgid on the folder) | 01:47 |
| escott | SecretFire, he means put it in the freezer for a few minutes | 01:48 |

| usr13 | SecretFire: As escott points out, try an alternate method of attaching it to your PC. In other words, take it out of the case. | 01:49 |
| reuf | 720, 1080 etc? | 01:49 |
| bazhang | reuf, use the -t switch so that they have sensible labels | 01:49 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : | 01:49 |
| reuf | aha aha | 01:49 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : how could I attach it | 01:49 |
| usr13 | SecretFire: Also, check the power supply and see if it is ok. Check to see that it is getting the voltage required. | 01:50 |
| SecretFire | usr13 : I have tried different outlets, a different usb cable, and none of them seem to help | 01:50 |
| Allanon09 | escott: How do you pm someone? | 01:50 |
| escott | Allanon09, pm is discouraged in this channel | 01:51 |
| exodus77 | hello everyone | 01:51 |
| jiltdil | Please suggest me a good Laptop under INR 45k that is auitable for linux use | 01:51 |
| bazhang | jiltdil, ask in ##hardware , check the hcl | 01:52 |
| usr13 | SecretFire: Open the case and you will see. It is going to be pretty obvious. It is more than likely sata and you will see sata connectors inside your PC, (one for power and another for data). | 01:52 |
| bazhang | !hcl | jiltdil | 01:52 |
| ubottu | jiltdil: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 01:52 |
| exodus77 | I am new to Linux | 01:52 |
| jiltdil | bazhang, ok thanks | 01:52 |
| SecretFire | usr13: ok | 01:52 |
| Allanon09 | escott: ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116684/ | 01:54 |
| escott | SecretFire, biggest issue is you probably need to buy a SATA cable because you probably dont have a spare. you might be able to borrow the cable from a CD drive if you have one | 01:54 |
| SecretFire | escott : I do have a cd drive that don't use anymore | 01:55 |
| SecretFire | already connected | 01:55 |
| escott | Allanon09, the folder with the new files is cut off but the files inside seem to have the correct permissions | 01:56 |
| escott | SecretFire, then you could probably unplug the connector on the cd drive and plug that into the connectors on the hard drive (once you open the plastic) | 01:56 |
| Allanon09 | escott: cerebro@gHome:~$ ls -al /media/hardDrive1TB-2/gh/Movies/Children/New Movie/ | 01:57 |
| ardian__ | Hi I am a developer I am using Ubuntu on my laptop now, so I develop on my laptop to test the application but I don't want to make my system crashy using a virtual machine isn't the best idea so what do you suggest ? some kind of chroot ? | 01:57 |
| escott | SecretFire, it will be pretty obvious how to do it, just power off the computer and ground yourself before cracking the case. and no wool socks :) | 01:57 |
| Auzy | What are you developing ardian__ ? | 01:57 |
| SecretFire | escott : ok | 01:57 |
| ardian__ | Auzy, from Django dev to anything also testing | 01:58 |
| escott | Allanon09, and the "New Movie" folder has permissions cerebro users drwxrwxr-x | 01:58 |
| Allanon09 | escott: both have this: drwxrwxr-x 2 cerebro users | 01:58 |
| Auzy | Because, depends on the application ardian__ Many virtual machines run quite well.. That's what I do.. Or I run it as a standard user.. | 01:59 |
| escott | Allanon09, and how are you accessing these files with the "media" user? direct access or some kind of samba/nfs thing? | 01:59 |
| Allanon09 | escott: it is done with samba | 01:59 |
| escott | Allanon09, then its probably a misconfiguration of samba | 02:00 |
| Allanon09 | escott: media user can access everything else.... | 02:00 |
| ardian__ | Auzy, yes but a VM takes too much of system resoruces not sure if a chroot is something developers use | 02:00 |
| escott | Allanon09, maybe there is a weird character in the folder name that samba chokes on. but i would suspect something with the samba stack | 02:00 |
| escott | ardian__, a chroot is rather complex to setup. you have to copy libc and all dependencies into that chroot | 02:01 |
| Auzy | ardian__, Depends on the level of virtualisation. whilst I found that stuff like Virtualbox is, Xen for me was efficient.. Just need to make sure you have sufficient ram | 02:02 |
| ardian__ | escott, ou that sucks | 02:02 |
| escott | ardian__, i would think about the level of isolation you require. i would think you just create a new user account and login as that user and run the app | 02:02 |
| escott | ardian__, unless its some deep core level application a different uid should be enough to protect your data and systems | 02:03 |
| ardian__ | escott, umm no rather mysql stuff web dev with ruby and python | 02:04 |

| flowerhack | hello all! I'm trying to adjust the colors on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 on a samsung s9 ultrabook, and I'm running into some problems. I can see that I have an "lcms RGB virtual profile" installed for my monitor (in the "Color" app), but the "Calibrate..." option is greyed out. any ideas on why that's greyed out? | 02:06 |
| Auzy | kathia, Probably best to ask in the backtrack room... | 02:06 |
| flowerhack | my understanding is that once the profile's installed, you should be able to calibrate | 02:06 |
| lauratika | is it possible and secure to use a vpn over a wlan? | 02:07 |
| escott | ardian__, not sure what is wrong with running apache on localhost, but if you want something more limited a headless vbox server could be pretty lightweight | 02:07 |
| Auzy | lauratika, A VPN is secure anywhere, depending on what type.. | 02:07 |
| Dshoe | Hello guys, just wondering if there was a way to make my PC suspend after more than 1 hour? That seems to be the limit on my settings but syncing with an Android repo takes much longer than that for me, however I don't wanna leave it on ALL night. | 02:07 |
| kathia | Thank you, would you be able to help me install it on a Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid lynx) installation? | 02:08 |
| kathia | wait where is the backtrack room? :) | 02:08 |
| Auzy | Server or client? With client, networkmanager has an addon | 02:08 |
| lauratika | private one | 02:08 |
| Auzy | You mean, you already have a VPN server Lauratika, and you want to connect to it? | 02:09 |
| ardian__ | escott, is that possible | 02:09 |
| lauratika | i want to connect to one | 02:09 |

| ardian__ | escott, only vbox headless | 02:10 |
| lauratika | but even if some one crack a wpa2 enterprise connection still safe? | 02:10 |
| === seventh is now known as Guest12091 | ||
| escott | ardian__, any virtualization system will allow you to configure it as headless. obvious you install with a head, but turn the head off after the install and just shell in | 02:10 |
| Auzy | lauratika, main thing, check what type it is (ie, pptp, openvpn, or lt2p).. Next, software centre, show technical items (bottom), grab network-manager-TYPE.. | 02:10 |
| ardian__ | escott, great didn't know about this | 02:11 |
| Auzy | And yes lauratika.. Depends mainly on the type though.. PPTP tends to be less secure, L2TP/IPSEC can be insecure (depending on the server), and OpenVPN SHOULD be secure, but, its security possibly hasn't been fully proven | 02:11 |
| escott | lauratika, every computer has an identifier. when you ssh user@remote it asks you to save the key which identifies "remote" if you don't trust your web connection then someone could MITM that initial exchange, but if you connect securely once then you are forever safe | 02:12 |
| kathia | maybe I should reconfigure my question | 02:13 |
| Auzy | @ escott.. thats SSH, on VPN though, its a bit different.. | 02:13 |
| kathia | I need assistance installing flash on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 02:13 |
| kathia | :) | 02:13 |
| jeffrey | need help, pulseaduio equalizer is causing crackling and popping in audio when EQ enabled | 02:13 |
| lauratika | escott so sorry can understand all you said first how i shh and what is MITM? | 02:13 |
| lauratika | Auzy is an openvpn | 02:14 |
| escott | Auzy, i assume the same general principles hold though. if you can't identify the remote server through a secure intial channel then you can't be certain right | 02:14 |
| === Guest23361 is now known as mfisch | ||
| kathia | I've tried everything stated on sites, but I have 0 luck | 02:14 |

| kathia | my success rate has been nill, except for one time I got it to work by accident, not sure how I did it (don't remember) | 02:15 |
| Auzy | Generally with VPN though, you preshare keys.. Lauratika.. yeah.. install the openvpn addon.. Although, I had issues with it (but that was ages ago) | 02:15 |
| escott | lauratika, i don't know all the details about the VPN protocols, but the data transmitted over the wireless is encrypted so even if they break the WPA2 security they won't be able to read the VPN traffic. BUT if they break the WPA2 the first time you connect to your VPN and you have no other way of identifying it is the correct VPN, then they could compromise your connection. its like calling a number with an encrypted channel. if you ca | 02:16 |
| escott | n't recognize the voice on the other end then it doesn't really matter that the data is encrypted when it is transmitted because you don't know who you are talking to | 02:16 |
| puuf | kathia have you installed "unauthorized essentials"? I think that's what you need | 02:17 |
| escott | lauratika, and the "preshared key" that Auzy mentioned is how you recognize the voice on the other end of the phone conversation | 02:17 |
| lauratika | well the vpn seems safe enough,how do i identify if vpn is correct? | 02:17 |
| mynameisthom | hello, I just installed ubuntu 12.04 yesterday, with condition, /home is not formatted from prev OS, Mint. The problem is, some of keyboard shortcuts is not working or miss-behaved.

| kathia | I'm sorry if I ask question that might seem obvious to a lot of people | 02:20 |
| escott | lauratika, when you setup the openvpn server there should have been a step that generated a key. and there is presumably a public key as part of that keypair | 02:20 |
| escott | !es | MReaper-17 | 02:20 |

| terminhell | wb jeffrey | 02:26 |
| escott | !notunity | jeffrey | 02:26 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:26 |
| OerHeks | kathia, type restricted in softwarecentre, and choose your version | 02:26 |
| Auzy | jeffrey, long term I think E17 will be, KDE is quite nice, but, its up to the user.. All of them take some getting used to.. | 02:26 |
| lauratika | sure | 02:26 |
| jeffrey | ubottu, i'm on gnome, it has 2 panel bars | 02:26 |
| ubottu | jeffrey: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:26 |
| lauratika | so that means this will make a secure connection right? | 02:26 |
| david0rk | i've got a tv tuner, the chipset is the same but the vendor uses a slightly different ID, thus the module will work, but wont work as is because its not the correct ID. | 02:26 |
| jeffrey | ubottu, you sneaky son of a.. | 02:26 |
| ubottu | jeffrey: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:26 |
| lauratika | is fair to say that using lan instead of wlan makes it way more secur? | 02:27 |
| escott | lauratika, not really | 02:27 |
| Auzy | lauratika, The point of VPN is that everything sent by it cannot be seen, even in the best case | 02:27 |
| david0rk | ardian__, ? any ideas? | 02:27 |
| ardian__ | david0rk, what module ? | 02:27 |
| david0rk | au0828 | 02:28 |
| Auzy | lauratika, whilst theoretically, it may be a tiny bit more secure on LAN, in practice, if it is more secure, then, you aren't using strong enough encryption (because, you want to stop people hijacking the connection online anyway) | 02:28 |
| david0rk | ardian__, installed linux-source metapackage, no .c files anywhere, but the makefile for the module is included in linux-headers. | 02:28 |
| Auzy | Also, you did mention you are using WPA2 Enterprise.. Provided you are using a strong password (and have the auto connect button disabled on the router), that should be difficult to compromise anyway | 02:29 |
| ardian__ | david0rk, umm I never deal with the kernel | 02:29 |
| david0rk | ardian__, i understand it's not guaranteed, so i'm not going to complain if it doesn't work, i'll take mysegfault like a man. | 02:29 |
| escott | lauratika, and these days with computers small enough to fit inside a wall plug it wouldn't be hard to splice an ethernet cable and put a small computer in the middle of that traffic | 02:30 |
| kathia | OerHeks, thank you, I will make an attempt at that method. | 02:30 |
| lauratika | in my case the cable goes from pint a to point b visually | 02:30 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||
| puuf | kathia go to software center & search for Ubuntu Restricted Extras | 02:31 |
| Auzy | lauratika, you may be overcomplicating it.. Irrespective of wlan, as mentioned, if the VPN isn't secured, you shouldn't be using it | 02:31 |
| escott | lauratika, have you audited the chips on the ethernet adapters to make sure they aren't running a micro-os? thats the next step of paranoia :) | 02:31 |
| thecomputergeek | Is this the IRC support channel? | 02:32 |
| escott | !topic | thecomputergeek | 02:32 |
| ubottu | thecomputergeek: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 02:32 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, this is ubuntu support | 02:32 |
| lauratika | of course,with my super spy microscope double paranoia flavor ssm | 02:32 |
| lauratika | so basically trying to understand difference between vpn,wlan and lan and which is more secure than the other | 02:33 |
| soulstitchmmo | Does anyone know why my AMD Catalyst Driver won't save my settings? Ubuntu 12.04. | 02:33 |
| Fudge | hi has anyone had problems with ubuntu 11.04 eth0 not coming up again after net goes down or unplugged/plugged back in. have to manually restart networking for it to happen, using auto eth0 iface inet eth0 dhcp | 02:34 |
| thecomputergeek | I am running Ubuntu 12.04, and am having a problem in the Ubuntu Software Manager. It is trying to install a package titled "Searching", but does not install it and I cannot cancel it. andy suggestions? | 02:34 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: thats not a package, thats what its doing | 02:34 |
| thecomputergeek | how do i stop it? | 02:35 |
| terminhell | just type something else | 02:35 |
| escott | lauratika, you should never put faith in the transport method. the US was splicing Soviet undersea cables years ago. what matters is the encryption you use to protect the data while its in transit | 02:35 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: or erase what you typed | 02:35 |
| Auzy | stop putting a search query in thecomputergeek | 02:35 |
| escott | lauratika, always assume the worst (that everyone sees all your transmitted data) and just use a strong enough encryption to ensure that they can't make any sense of it | 02:36 |
| terminhell | or use carrier pidgeons :p | 02:36 |
| thecomputergeek | I have tried everything from stopping the process to shut down computer. it is still trying to install the package in the "progress" tab. | 02:36 |
| lauratika | yay pidgeons | 02:36 |
| Auzy | thecomputergeek, maybe take a screenshot.. | 02:37 |
| lauratika | and eat them once the message its delivered,you may never ever know | 02:37 |
| thecomputergeek | can i post a screenshot here? | 02:37 |
| Auzy | You can to imgur.. with a link | 02:37 |
| lauratika | those yanks can crack anything now a days! | 02:37 |
| escott | lauratika, bad idea, opens you up to a denial of life attack... capture pidgeon, inject ebola virus, release pidgeon | 02:37 |
| lauratika | you are right,i should develope mental ecrypted comunication mec | 02:39 |
| thecomputergeek | here is the link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A38%3A09.png | 02:41 |
| lauratika | here another question can i use open vpn to connect to my router? | 02:42 |
| escott | lauratika, if your router can run openvpn. its not likely to have that capability, but you might be able to shell into it with ssh | 02:42 |
| Nikon | No | 02:42 |
| lauratika | or another vpn PPtP | 02:43 |
| lauratika | perhaps | 02:43 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: i think that #1 is the actions in que. Id just update via spt-get | 02:43 |

| thecomputergeek | do i just put "spt-get" into terminal, it gave me an error message saying no command found. | 02:45 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: *apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 02:45 |
| Costeelation | i can resize my ubuntu partition without lost the data? | 02:47 |

| escott | Costeelation, usually, but its good practice to backup first | 02:47 |
| xangua | Costeelation: backups are always good idea | 02:47 |
| Costeelation | ok guys... thanks :) | 02:48 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, did you close software center first? | 02:48 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: are you using server edition, or alternate isntaller? | 02:48 |
| mickusbuntu | hello | 02:49 |
| Costeelation | hi | 02:49 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, also missing sudo it should be "sudo apt-get" | 02:49 |
| thecomputergeek | no. but then i did and got this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A50%3A24.png | 02:51 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, close software center | 02:52 |
| thecomputergeek | i Know that im not running server edition for sure, but not sure if it is an alternate installer. | 02:52 |
| soulstitchmmo | Does anyone know of an Ubuntu friendly alternative to Streaming (twitch) other than FFMPEG? (It uses way too much cpu) | 02:52 |

| terminhell | soulstitchmmo: vlc? | 02:52 |
| soulstitchmmo | You can stream with VLC? | 02:52 |
| terminhell | -,- | 02:52 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, and you have closed all other "software installation" related programs? | 02:52 |
| terminhell | yes | 02:52 |
| soulstitchmmo | Is there a guide somewhere? (I'm a novice) | 02:53 |
| terminhell | 02:53 | |
| escott | thecomputergeek, does "ps aux | grep dpkg | grep -v grep" output anything? | 02:53 |
| terminhell | or just tinker | 02:53 |
| soulstitchmmo | Google is the worst thing to use for this stuff. | 02:53 |
| thecomputergeek | yes, except terminal. all i have running is terminal and firefox. | 02:53 |
| soulstitchmmo | It pulls up years worth of searches and is never relevant. | 02:53 |
| terminhell | soulstitchmmo: then just tinker and learn | 02:53 |
| IdleOne | thecomputergeek: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:53 |

| andygraybeal | hey guys, the two shades of grey for my scroll bar indicator and the scroll bar itself are too close for me to see a difference. can i keep the scroll bar background grey and change the actual scroll bar to orange.. (or something, pink i don't care) so i can quickly glance at it and see it? i'm in 10.04) | 02:56 |
| studio | terminhell:i can see what with it? | 02:56 |
| andygraybeal | or maybe there is a better approach. | 02:56 |

| Jagst3r15 | I installed it as per the instructions but i still cannot watch it | 02:58 |
| terminhell | thecomputergeek: reboot, then try the rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock ... | 02:58 |
| studio | terminhell:how glxegars can help me with this i just see the fps | 02:59 |
| thecomputergeek | ok. give me a minute. | 02:59 |
| Animeking | gotta ask, if I use a mainline kernel it is easy to revert back to the generic ubuntu one right? | 02:59 |
| terminhell | studio: then your 3d works. Also im not sure by what your asking | 02:59 |
| studio | terminhell:how can i know if i have my graphics driver installed | 03:01 |
| studio | terminhell:its ato | 03:01 |
| studio | terminhell:ATI* | 03:01 |
| terminhell | studio, if your monitor is plugged into it, and you can see things...it works. I think your overcomplicating this | 03:01 |
| thecomputergeek | i'm back now. | 03:01 |
| studio | terminhell:in details i can see that my driver is vesa:pak | 03:02 |
| thecomputergeek | could you repost that code for me? | 03:02 |
| terminhell | studio: ok fthats probably wrong, idk much about ati cards. fglx maybe idk. g2g | 03:03 |
| studio | terminhell:why do you think that | 03:03 |
| escott | !aptlock | thecomputergeek | 03:03 |
| ubottu | thecomputergeek: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 03:03 |
| terminhell | vesa is a generic modeset | 03:03 |
| studio | which means? :P | 03:03 |
| escott | thecomputergeek, after that you can run "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" or whatever it was you need to run | 03:03 |
| thecomputergeek | ok | 03:05 |
| thecomputergeek | it is updating right now, may take a minute. | 03:07 |
| studio | how can i know if my graphic card driver is installed and if it works? | 03:08 |
| escott | studio, glxinfo will tell you what glx stack you are using | 03:09 |

| sdfsd | escott: I believe i found what is most likely the issue, which is the permissions on the user's directory within the /home/ folder, just figuring out how to change the owner and group from the command line. I know I can do chmod, but how to change the name of the owner / group itself. | 04:03 |

| megawattz | when i load ubuntu it shows the logo and stuff then switches to compleat black screen like my computer wasn off | 04:37 |
| jmrog | megawattz: At that screen, you should be able to hit F6 to get a list of options, choose 'nomodeset' | 04:37 |
| jmrog | megawattz: Or, if there isn't a list, it should at least show you a line of text where you can hit space and type 'nomodeset' (without the quotes) and then hit enter | 04:38 |

| meggawattz | jmrog this happens with 10.04 cd as well too | 04:47 |
| Abhijit | mahir256, you need to share internet connection from windows. and then connect lubuntu to the adhoc wireless of windows | 04:47 |
| doomikus | mahir256, don't understand the Q. do you mean use windows ICS? | 04:47 |
| turkeh | hello | 04:47 |
| doomikus | hi | 04:47 |
| jmrog | meggawattz: the 10.04 CD should definitely present you with options if you press F6. This is before you choose to install or try Ubuntu, at the menu screen. | 04:48 |
| superuser | what is a devil release? | 04:48 |
| doomikus | turkeh reminds me of thanksgiving and a drunken cousin. just sayin' | 04:48 |
| mahir256 | no, i mean i have a non-cross-over ethernet cable going from the lubuntu desktop to the windows laptop's ethernet adapter, and the laptop is connected wirelessly to the internet. | 04:48 |
| turkeh | ha | 04:48 |
| Auzy | still having iissues mahir256 ? | 04:49 |
| Auzy | I mentioned hwow to do it 3 hours ago | 04:49 |
| doomikus | mahir256, so in some sense, yeah, you want internet connection sharing | 04:49 |
| Abhijit | mahir256, then just share the internet other ethernet from windows and then connect lubuntu to windows | 04:49 |
| doomikus | listen to Abhijit | 04:50 |
| Pecker | is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP | 04:51 |
| Abhijit | Pecker, whats LTSP? | 04:52 |
| Pecker | !ltsp | 04:52 |
| ubottu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 04:52 |
| Abhijit | ok | 04:52 |
| doomikus | mahir256, this sounds like more of a windows issue. you are looking to get the linux machine an IP from a windows machine temp. acting as a dhcp server | 04:52 |
| Pecker | basically network booting | 04:52 |
| Abhijit | Pecker, nice project. i will need this in coming near future. thanks for info. | 04:53 |
| Yatoth | hi everybody | 04:54 |
| Pecker | yeah | 04:54 |
| KillerFu | I need some help. | 04:54 |

| KillerFu | I can't get 5.1 surround sound to work with my ATI 5770 card through my onkyo receiver. Any help? | 04:55 |
| Abhijit | Pecker, does the clients have hdd,? and i guess this is using processor of server and not the processor of client/terminal? | 04:55 |
| Yatoth | tried googling but could not fix it | 04:55 |
| bobo37773 | Yatoth: Someone else just had your exact problem. I do not remember the solution. Oh yeah I do: Do you have more then one user logged in? Is this system set up with multiple users? | 04:56 |
| Yatoth | no i`m only one | 04:57 |
| KillerFu | Any help guys? | 04:57 |
| doomikus | what's the offtopic channel name? | 04:57 |
| Abhijit | doomikus, #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:57 |
| Pecker | Abhijit: NO HDD needed, just need to enable network booting in BIOS for client. ALL apps run on server (although you can set up 'local apps' see wiki) | 04:57 |

| Pecker | via ethernet | 04:58 |
| Yatoth | yes | 04:58 |

| Yatoth | i do it very often | 04:58 |
| Yatoth | once in 2 days | 04:58 |
| jeffrey | what are some good desktop environments that use GTK? | 04:58 |
| Pecker | as the LTSP must be the DHCP server for the clients. Best set this up on a machine with 2 ethernet cards. one for net access and other for LTSP network | 04:59 |
| aeon-ltd | jeffrey: er everything that doesn't use qt? | 04:59 |
| bobo37773 | Yatoth: Does "sudo poweroff" shut it down without freezing? | 04:59 |
| Pecker | see ltsp wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP | 04:59 |
| Abhijit | yeah. sure Pecker | 04:59 |
| Yatoth | yes | 04:59 |
| Yatoth | it works great | 04:59 |
| Pecker | anyways any more questions you can ask me, or #ltsp or anyone else who has a answer for you Abhijit | 05:00 |
| Abhijit | Pecker, i would suggest you to ask that question of getting client sys info on askubuntu. also its sunday. so irc is kind of sleepy!! :-p | 05:00 |

| jeffrey | i was asking about ubuntu | 05:05 |
| Abhijit | but for cinnamon | 05:05 |
| KillerFu | So basically I did all that on the link but when I check pulse it still shows only 2 channels. | 05:05 |

| jeffrey | like the mail, chat app i dont use, i want to get rid of it | 05:06 |

| KillerFu | what i think is the fact that the default channel map is front left, front - right but no center rear's or sub | 05:06 |
| KillerFu | yet i have no clue how to change that | 05:06 |
| joe2 | what is pulse? | 05:07 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: Are you sure 6 is right? | 05:07 |
| KillerFu | yes i have a 5.1 surround sound set up. | 05:07 |
| jeffrey | Abhijit, not the appearance the functionality... | 05:07 |
| joe2 | dumb question, i know, but i just ran into it tonight in /tmp | 05:08 |
| KillerFu | For 5.1 channel sound: default-sample-channels = 6 | 05:08 |
| joe2 | ah, audio drivers? | 05:08 |
| Abhijit | jeffrey, ok | 05:08 |
| KillerFu | ati ones | 05:08 |
| KillerFu | audio is coming from my ati 5770 | 05:08 |
| KillerFu | hdmi | 05:08 |
| KillerFu | so additional drivers | 05:08 |

| jeffrey | Barami, no idea what youre talking about.. i just wanted to change the tray icons.. like remove the chat mail icon, add a weather icon, etc | 05:10 |

| KillerFu | thanks for the help bobo | 05:25 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: No problem. Hope it works for you | 05:25 |
| jmrog | hith: This isn't help specific to f.lux, but you might look into a similar program specifically for Linux called "redshift" | 05:26 |
| jmrog | hith: I used to use f.lux but had a number of issues; redshift has worked great | 05:26 |
| devslash | what is the default ftp server in ubuntu server | 05:26 |
| hith | jmrog, thanks! | 05:26 |
| Luthfi_fs | Guys | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | akhilblue: gotta be your graphics card settings is the only thing I can think of, but then it would ALL text, not just some text. sorry I can't be more specific. | 05:26 |
| jmrog | hith: No problem | 05:26 |
| jeffrey | is it possible to modify powermizer performance levels without complete disabling it? seems the 50mhz profile is lagging my compiz until level 1 kicks in | 05:26 |
| bobo37773 | Luthfi_fs: Hey. We can see you | 05:26 |
| akhilblue | @cfhowlett: is there any way to reinstall all the fonts? | 05:27 |
| akhilblue | cause other than the fonts there is no other trouble | 05:27 |
| Luthfi_fs | Oh yeah | 05:27 |
| cfhowlett | akhilblue: before you do that, try changing the default fonts. | 05:27 |
| devslash | anyone ? | 05:27 |
| Luthfi_fs | What? | 05:28 |
| KillerFu_ | well time to see if it worked | 05:28 |
| akhilblue | i did. i used ubuntu tweak. the thing is every time i restart a new letter is affected, not the same thing every time. it is not a big deal but it is anoyying | 05:28 |
| TheVileCatalyst | Hello madarchod | 05:28 |
| devslash | how do i change the default directory that the user sees when they log in via ftp ? | 05:28 |
| Luthfi_fs | Amazing | 05:29 |
| akhilblue | anyway thanks cfhowlett. | 05:29 |
| devslash | what is the default ftp server used in ubuntu ? | 05:30 |
| KillerFu_ | [pulseaudio] daemon-conf.c: The specified default channel map has a different number of channels than the specified default number of channels. | 05:30 |
| KillerFu_ | sigh now i get this... | 05:30 |
| devslash | can anyone help me | 05:30 |
| bobo37773 | devslash: Dont know the default ftp server. Do you have it installed? | 05:31 |
| Luthfi_fs | Dev:maybe i can help you | 05:31 |
| devslash | i thought it was vsftpd | 05:31 |
| devslash | i do i can log in via ftp | 05:31 |
| devslash | i want to change it so when i log in via ftp the default directory is not my home dir | 05:32 |
| bobo37773 | from there just look for what program is installed. As long as it is still default | 05:32 |
| cfhowlett | akhilblue: annnnnnnnnnnnd there it is. You know, of course, that UT is NOT in the Software Center. It's a great tool, and I do appreciate the effort that went into it. However, it's such a powerful tool that it can easily cause unintended effects... like your's. | 05:32 |
| cfhowlett | akhilblue: how to fix now? assuming you have hour /home in its own partition, reinstall ubuntu. If not, backup your data, reinstall ubuntu, restore your data. | 05:32 |
| Luthfi_fs | Wow | 05:32 |
| devslash | how do i configure the ftp default folder | 05:33 |
| Luthfi_fs | Why s0me people out fr0m this r00m | 05:33 |
| devslash | possible ? | 05:33 |
| hith | jmorg? | 05:33 |
| hith | jmrog, are you here? | 05:34 |
| devslash | can anyone help me | 05:34 |
| hith | jmrog, how do you get this program into autostart? do you by any chance know offhand? | 05:34 |

| devslash | i want to change it so when i log in via ftp the default directory is not my home dir but a different dir. how do i do that ? | 05:35 |
| Barami | devslash, check installed package on server.. | 05:35 |
| devslash | which package | 05:35 |
| Barami | "dpkg -l | grep ftpd" like command | 05:35 |
| arvislacis | devslash, Use relative path. | 05:35 |
| devslash | what do you mean | 05:35 |
| jmrog | hith: Are you using Unity? | 05:36 |
| Barami | "dpkf -l" listed package installed on system.. and you can grep package name you want. | 05:36 |
| hith | yes jmrog | 05:36 |
| hith | btw this a great program | 05:36 |
| arvislacis | devslash, I mean - change folder path to other... | 05:37 |
| jmrog | hith: If you click on Dash (the Ubuntu logo on the Unity launcher) and type 'Startup', I think you'll see something called "Startup Applications" -- you should be able to click on that and add it to autostart | 05:37 |
| hith | thanks again. :D | 05:37 |
| jmrog | hith: But that's from memory -- I don't use Unity right now. | 05:37 |
| jmrog | hith: No problem. Glad you like it! | 05:37 |

| Abhijit | is there any remastersys alternate for ubuntu? i heard remastersys is dead? | 05:41 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: Trying to repack an iso? | 05:42 |
| Abhijit | yes | 05:42 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: I use a program called isomaster | 05:42 |
| Abhijit | ok | 05:42 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: Takes a little getting used to. I remember it being very different from remastersys when I used it last | 05:43 |
| Abhijit | bobo37773, but it has all the functions as that of remastersys? | 05:43 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: Well it can pack an iso for you. What are you trying to do? | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | 'remaster' an existing ubuntu iso | 05:44 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: Is the iso installed? Or are you going to extract it and chroot in or something? | 05:45 |
| Abhijit | i have .iso file | 05:45 |
| bobo37773 | Abhijit: Yeah should be fine. Just want to add files to it? | 05:46 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: Still no good? | 05:47 |
| KillerFu | bobo37773: Next question ubuntu won't shutdown correctly. It hangs on the screen with dots underneath. | 05:47 |
| KillerFu | Nope. :( | 05:47 |
| tinman | heya yall, whats up? | 05:47 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: Someone else just asked this. Do you have multiple users on that system or just you? | 05:47 |
| KillerFu | I am going to try stuff again tomorrow. Last resort move to Windows 8 :( | 05:47 |
| KillerFu | Just me. | 05:47 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: Ouch. Sounds pretty drastic. You could always just try a different distro if this one does not suit you | 05:48 |
| KillerFu | I know what is for my audio! My display is showing as a laptop! | 05:48 |
| KillerFu | Before on my usb flash drive it showed up as my receiver. | 05:48 |

| tinman | i got a few questions now that i think about it... | 05:50 |
| silare | Hey all, I'm getting a message like this when trying to install the Grid Compiz plugin via Git: http://pastebin.com/iixeaUzV | 05:51 |
| tinman | whats the purpose of bashrc or .profile? | 05:51 |
| arvislacis | tinman, just ask. | 05:52 |
| tinman | i did | 05:52 |
| bobo37773 | KillerFu: This is not for Ubuntu. But maybe it can help you not sure --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples | 05:52 |
| arvislacis | tinman, Where you find bashrc? | 05:53 |
| Barami | silare, Use git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/compiz/plugins/grid.git instead of git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/compiz/plugins/grid | 05:53 |
| tinman | its geditable in home | 05:53 |
| bobo37773 | tinman: .bashrc is a user config file for bash. | 05:53 |
| silare | Barami: Actually, just got help from #compiz on it. Thanks! =] It was actually that it's now "compiz" -- not "compiz-fusion" anymore. =P | 05:54 |
| Barami | Hm.. | 05:54 |
| tinman | it holds paths, so i guess my real questions are what is the purpose of paths and what is the differance between bashrc and .profile | 05:54 |
| bdi_ | arrg im so sick and tired of ubuntu crashing all the time.....drives me insane...linux is stable...i think not | 05:54 |
| bobo37773 | tinman: .profile or .bash_profile ? | 05:54 |
| tinman | its stable on a fresh install :P | 05:54 |
| Barami | It seems to server doen's work.. | 05:54 |
| Pecker | bdi_: whats exactly happens before crash | 05:55 |
| Pecker | theres some reason... | 05:56 |
| bobo37773 | tinman: .bash_profile is sourced if the shell is a login shell. Never had a .profile. Seems like it would be similar though | 05:56 |
| tinman | ive had no success with either... :/ | 05:56 |
| bdi_ | Pecker: i have no idea...it seems to happen at random points | 05:56 |
| tinman | you should be able to gedit into .profile bobo. i didnt know i had one either till a few hours ago :P | 05:57 |
| Barami | silare, git repository moved to http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/plugins/grid | 05:57 |
| silare | Barami: xD Yep. | 05:57 |

| tinman | naaa, i said that more to sate your curiosity than mine, but if you dont have that much in this matter then i dont really see the point :/ | 05:59 |

| MantisTobogen | Problem I cannot connect to del internet in ubuntu 12.04, I tried pppoeconf and it does not work, it worked on the installation cd just fine so it has nothing to do with the hardware configuration. Secondly, I have tried the GUI interface set up and it is not working at all either. Lastly I have tried restarting my computer and it takes 60 seconds saying it is setting up network. Can anyone help me fix this problem. | 06:11 |
| Fyodorovna | MantisTobogen, del internet? not sure what this means, but do you know your card? | 06:12 |
| MantisTobogen | My card? how do you not know what dsl internet is there is even a selection for dsl in the gui | 06:13 |

| MantisTobogen | after inputing commands problem remains @Fyodorovna | 06:18 |
| Fyodorovna | chris_wrx, after you load the ppa you run a update then install the package, naming it here may help as well. | 06:18 |
| Fyodorovna | MantisTobogen, the commands are for you to see the card then post it not a fix. | 06:18 |
| MantisTobogen | I got nothing after running them | 06:18 |
| Fyodorovna | MantisTobogen, run lspci and look through the list for a network card | 06:19 |

| chris_wrx | Fyodorovna, I guess my question is, so I need to specify the ppa I am updating? | 06:20 |
| Fyodorovna | chris_wrx, I have never used bitcoin but it would be sudo apt-get install bitcoin probably, did you make sure the ppa supports your release as well. | 06:21 |
| Fyodorovna | chris_wrx, as regular update reads the ppa's as well. | 06:22 |

| chris_wrx | Fyodorovna, yes, it is supported. You also said something about naming it. I am not sure what you mean by naming it. | 06:23 |
| MantisTobogen | because it is buggy @heroandtn3 | 06:23 |
| Fyodorovna | chris_wrx, By naming it I meant the app to istall bitcoin, you left that out before I asked. | 06:23 |

| voldyman | bazhang, thanks. i'll check | 07:37 |
| amanjosan2008 | bazhang: no | 07:37 |
| bazhang | treaver, set it that way in the grub menu? | 07:37 |
| treaver | how | 07:37 |
| Auzy | amanjosan2008, iNotify is the mechanism you use to track them.. | 07:37 |
| bazhang | amanjosan2008, then how | 07:37 |
| akhilblue | oh.. it happens during login, . right now i cant seem to find it, but the letters affected change every time i restart | 07:37 |
| amanjosan2008 | bazhang: i want to know about the list of new files created or deleted... | 07:37 |
| amanjosan2008 | like jpg, mp3,avi by users | 07:38 |

| bazhang | amanjosan2008, what is the purpose of this exercise | 07:38 |
| real_unreal | thanks everybody :) | 07:38 |
| Auzy | amanjosan2008, you can use systemtap | 07:38 |
| amanjosan2008 | bazhang: I want to keep a track of what my employees are copying into system... | 07:38 |
| bazhang | voldyman, lighter, yet within gnome itself? I am not sure about that apart from the suggestion I made | 07:39 |
| alo21 | bazhang: | 07:39 |
| alo21 | bazhang: ok | 07:39 |
| amanjosan2008 | systemtap seems to be complicated.. anything simpler | 07:40 |

| alo21 | bazhang: My PC's display appears black after I connected it to a TV | 07:43 |
| Auzy | Thing is amanjosan2008, if you don't lock down the system, they can just shut off the monitor anyway.. | 07:44 |
| bazhang | alo21, did you start up with the tv connected, or only connect afterwards, what was shown on the tv screen if anything, and did you want a mirror screen dual screens or what | 07:44 |

| b0rk1983 | same thing. | 07:49 |

| guest-yerJ0g | a few minutes back I solved a graphics problem , and now I face this login problem | 08:03 |
| alo21 | bazhang: seems it does not resolve my problem | 08:04 |
| bazhang | akhilblue, so you would want to clone this then. perhaps something like clonezilla | 08:04 |
| soulstitchmmo | bazhang, This is the code I want to run: https://docs.google.com/document/d/177Mbf48pX5V5II_hdv0H-QRSIikylTfIfdeODfQP-9s/edit?pli=1 | 08:04 |
| akhilblue | bazhang: would that clone the entire filesystem or only the apps as a deb files? | 08:05 |
| guest-yerJ0g | Ok, I take it that I 've lost my password, now give me the link and I don't have it | 08:05 |
| guest-yerJ0g | (though I haven't ) | 08:05 |
| bazhang | !password > guest-yerJ0g | 08:05 |
| ubottu | guest-yerJ0g, please see my private message | 08:05 |
| bazhang | akhilblue, a clone would be the entire system. aptoncd would be a software repo of installed apps | 08:06 |
| akhilblue | bazhang: just tried aptoncd, but it takes backup of preinstalled apps (as in already loaded with ubuntu)too. so will it be a problem when trying to install them using the metapackage again? | 08:08 |
| bazhang | akhilblue, as an offline repo? that is its purpose, so no | 08:09 |
| Plutten | anybody online that can help me with a issue with the installation and radeon grafics | 08:09 |
| bazhang | Plutten, ask the channel | 08:09 |
| himanshu_m786 | hi , i want to change the icon of an app . how can i do so ? | 08:09 |
| akhilblue | bazhang: for example firefox comes preinstalled. but aptoncd takes a backup of that too. so when installing everything again, will it skip whatever is already installed? | 08:10 |
| bazhang | himanshu_m786, right click properties, select a new one | 08:10 |
| _Tristan | Hello. I'm using gnome 3. If I make ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel a symlink to /dev/null, will bad things happen? | 08:12 |
| soulstitchmmo | Ok this might be more than an ubuntu irc question, but I have 3 script I want to run, however they each require a different terminal window. Can I run a script that calls all 3 other scripts and opens up the terminals for them? | 08:13 |
| bazhang | soulstitchmmo, try #bash yet? | 08:13 |
| soulstitchmmo | I did not know that existed. | 08:13 |
| soulstitchmmo | Thank you | 08:13 |
| Plutten | During ubuntu 12.04 live cd install i get black screen. tryed nomodeset without any progress. what should i do? | 08:14 |
| timfrost | soulstitchmmo: why do the scripts each need a separate terminal window? | 08:15 |
| soulstitchmmo | well one is ffmpeg, one is cpulimit, and one is htop | 08:15 |
| bazhang | Plutten, md5 the iso? burn at low speed? do the disk integrity check? try the alternate cd if none of the following steps pan out? | 08:15 |
| amanjosan2008 | is it possible to fine tune tripwire.. to report simple file creation or deletion | 08:15 |
| bazhang | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/tripwire.8.html <-- amanjosan2008 have a read and see | 08:16 |
| Plutten | i have installed it once before with the same cd. disk check worked out fine. what i have read its the grafics | 08:16 |
| shaq_ | HI i'm getting winetricks: 3: winetricks: Syntax error: newline unexpected anyone know how to fix??? | 08:17 |
| amanjosan2008 | ok.. | 08:17 |
| _Tristan | soulstitchmmo: I'd recommend terminator | 08:17 |
| soulstitchmmo | What is terminator? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | shaq_, ask wine app support questions in #winehq after checking the appdb | 08:17 |
| soulstitchmmo | _Tristan, what is terminator? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | !appdb | shaq_ | 08:17 |
| ubottu | shaq_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 08:17 |
| _Tristan | soulstitchmmo: a program which will run multiple terminals in one window | 08:17 |
| soulstitchmmo | _Tristan, from the software centre? | 08:18 |
| bazhang | Plutten, then I'd try the alternate text installer | 08:18 |
| _Tristan | I'm sure it's in there, yeah | 08:18 |
| shaq_ | ubottu, how do i connect too winehq???? | 08:19 |
| ubottu | shaq_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:19 |

| timfrost | bazhang: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man4/twconfig.4.html may have been more directly relevant, as it is the man page for the tripwire configuration file. | 08:21 |
| himanshu_m786 | bazhang : i am not getting it . | 08:21 |
| bazhang | timfrost, please tell amanjosan2000 that as he was asking about it | 08:22 |
| timfrost | bazhang: he has left the channel :( | 08:22 |
| bazhang | himanshu_m786, which icon, and where | 08:22 |
| bazhang | timfrost, yep | 08:22 |
| himanshu_m786 | bazhang : there is an app name ticklt time management. i want to change its icon . how can i do so ? | 08:24 |
| bazhang | himanshu_m786, the icon resides where? in a menu, in the dash, on a panel, or where | 08:25 |
| himanshu_m786 | bazhang : in the launcher | 08:27 |

| juhsis | hi guys i need help on insalling ubuntu, to my super computer :) | 09:45 |
| === Lloir is now known as Lloir|AFK | ||
| juhsis | i have 2x1TB disk which is connected with raid0. And i use 1.8TB for windows, i allocated 200gb for ubuntu. But when i try to install ubuntu, it shows 2TB disk, not 1.8TB and 0.2TB drives. So how can i install ubuntu in this case ? | 09:48 |
| rojina | i get this error ../../cocos2dx/platform/CCGL.h:89:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory | 09:48 |
| juhsis | rojina: check if you have gl.h .. | 09:49 |
| bekks | juhsis: You cant do like you want it. Obviously you dont have a hardware raid0 controller, but a windows-based software-raid-controller, which is unusable in Ubuntu. | 09:50 |
| rojina | where i can check for gl.h? | 09:51 |
| juhsis | bekks : so what can i do? | 09:51 |
| bekks | juhsis: Eithe your set up a software raid in Ubuntu (while installing) or you just use two seperate disks. | 09:51 |
| juhsis | rojina: in command line write this : "$cd ../.." then "$sudo find -name 'gl.h' " | 09:52 |
| bekks | juhsis: And since you formatted both disks in Windows, for using them as RAID0, you have to kill that entire setup. | 09:52 |
| juhsis | bekks: i connect them in boot menu, not with windows.. | 09:53 |
| juhsis | bekks: i have p8p67 mainboard, a brand new version with brand new technologies.. | 09:53 |
| juhsis | bekks: so as i think, it is hardware controlled raid0 | 09:54 |
| bekks | juhsis: And that mainboard does not have a hardware raid controller, but relies on a windows driver to create a windows-driver-based software raid. | 09:54 |
| bekks | It isnt. | 09:54 |
| juhsis | bekks: ahh ok | 09:54 |
| juhsis | bekks: i can format it if i will have both ubuntu and windows installed on my disk | 09:55 |
| juhsis | bekks: but if possible i want to use it as raid0 in future.. | 09:55 |
| anonimus | hello | 09:55 |
| bekks | juhsis: Only as software raid, not as hardware raid. And without a backup, a RAID0 is pretty close to suicide ;) | 09:56 |
| juhsis | but i have external disk, which i save my important datum :) | 09:56 |
| kai_ | Hello! | 09:57 |
| juhsis | bekks: so you suggest me to use them seperated, right? | 09:57 |
| bekks | juhsis: Yes. | 09:57 |

| anonimus | is it that only registered users will be able to use the service? | 09:58 |
| bekks | anonimus: No. | 09:58 |

| anonimus | I am using this via chatzilla now | 09:59 |

| dr_willis | viju: common problem. no idea why it happins | 10:27 |
| bekks | iceroot: Thats not a program installed by ubuntu. | 10:27 |
| iceroot | bekks: so the os is not doing anything with that? | 10:27 |
| bekks | iceroot: Correct. | 10:27 |
| iceroot | bekks: ok :( | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | fn f5 does what? | 10:28 |
| bekks | dr_willis: Depends on his laptop - but Fn-Keys are hardcoded. | 10:28 |

| dr_willis | yep. thats hardcoded. | 10:29 |
| Tanvir | iceroot, can you help to solve my problem? | 10:29 |
| Tanvir | Please. :-) | 10:29 |
| iceroot | dr_willis: windows killed my touchpad completly after coming back from suspend and the whole system cant use the touchpad and i dont have fn keys for a touchpad | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | i got fn keys that do payse play and other media things also. | 10:30 |

| iceroot | Tanvir: connecting to 8.8.8.8? | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | 8.8.8.8 is Google's dns server. | 10:31 |

| iceroot | Tanvir: /etc/apt/apt.conf:Acquire::http::proxy "http://8.8.8.8:8080/"; | 10:47 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: why? | 10:48 |
| Tanvir | Iceroot, I have no idea. I was testing something, so maybe I messed up.. | 10:48 |
| Tanvir | How can I fix this? | 10:48 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: remove http://8.8.8.8:8080/ from that file | 10:48 |
| Tanvir | Doing. | 10:48 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf | 10:49 |
| Tanvir | I think I did not touch that file.. how things got changed there. o.O | 10:49 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: imo when you are setting a proxy server some tools are also changing that file | 10:49 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: but because 8.8.8.8 is not a proxy, its not working | 10:50 |
| Tanvir | Mhm.. I removed it. | 10:50 |
| Tanvir | Do I need to restart iceroot? | 10:50 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: no | 10:50 |
| iceroot | Tanvir: just "sudo apt-get update" | 10:50 |

| Orpheon | I have a .ogv file that I'd like to upload to youtube. Google points me towards ffmpeg, which tells me it's outdated and that I should use avconv instead. avconv complains of bad parameters. More googling reveals a mencoder line that works, but completely destroys the quality in the video. | 10:55 |
| Orpheon | And ideas? | 10:55 |
| alankila | Orpheon: maybe don't record/save videos in theora format in the future? | 10:58 |
| Orpheon | :( | 10:58 |
| Orpheon | I love Record my Desktop | 10:58 |
| Orpheon | but alas | 10:58 |
| Orpheon | ok | 10:58 |
| alankila | yeah, well, if youtube doesn't accept it and that's your primary use case, might make sense to select a format youtube works with. | 10:59 |
| Tanvir | Iceroot, any idea? | 11:00 |
| alankila | anyways theora is supposed to be fairly good quality -- and it's also question of bitrate -- so I assume theora can be downgraded to another format especially if bitrate is also reduced without appreciable artifacts (I hope) | 11:01 |
| alankila | that is, artifacts that arise from the video temporarily having been stored in theora | 11:01 |
| Orpheon | the artifacts with the mencoder line are mostly large uniform colors | 11:02 |
| Orpheon | that start tiling or something | 11:02 |
| Orpheon | or pixeling | 11:02 |

| CoolDude_ | anyone from India ? | 11:09 |
| fragged | vexus, I can see and navigate the partition, BluesKaj that gave me nothing to indicate it'd found a Windows partition | 11:10 |
| BluesKaj | fragged: W7 ? | 11:11 |
| fragged | BluesKaj, no, Windows XP | 11:14 |
| vexus | fragged: but BluesKaj is right if you like to boot your windows you have to update your grub, but may be i does not detect the right parameter or the partition itself so you have to do it yourself in the grub.conf | 11:15 |
| vexus | another way is to repair and manipulate the bootprogramm of windows | 11:16 |

| salvatore | so? | 11:25 |
| salvatore | what can i do? | 11:26 |

| vexus | salvatore: it is too much to post it all look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 11:29 |
| Orpheon | salvatore, try this: $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-7-jre icedtea6-plugin icedtea-7-plugin | 11:29 |
| viju | Orpheon, what's icedtea plugin used for? | 11:29 |
| Orpheon | it's the browser java plugin | 11:29 |
| Orpheon | I think | 11:30 |
| Orpheon | it allows browsers to use it | 11:30 |
| viju | oh | 11:30 |
| Qualia | which program is responsible from the mouse sensitivity in the default filemanager of UBUNTU ? | 11:30 |

| Orpheon | isn't there a setting somewhere for mouse sensivity? | 11:31 |
| cfhowlett | Qualia: settings are applied through mouse and pad settings | 11:31 |
| Orpheon | viju, could be | 11:31 |
| Orpheon | also I love the icedtea6-plugin icedtea-7-plugin | 11:31 |
| Qualia | no i mean the sensitivity of the integrated mousepad on laptop | 11:31 |
| Orpheon | notice the missing - | 11:31 |
| Qualia | its particularly very sensitive in the file manager window | 11:31 |
| Orpheon | Qualia, oh | 11:31 |
| viju | ah | 11:31 |

| vicium\a | understood | 11:49 |
| xro | Hi, i use sftp to transfer files between to ubuntu laptop... but i have a really bad speed (400Kb/s)... have you an idea why? | 11:49 |
| bekks | xro: Because of the encryption of _S_FTP. | 11:50 |
| cfhowlett | akhilblue: telepathy is the old messaging manager. Not sure it's in 12.04 as I use xubuntu, not ubuntu | 11:50 |
| dr_willis | vicium\a: i also get a new hd to put in my linux laptops. that way i replace the wundows hd. ;) so when i sell the laptop a tear or 2 later i just swap the hd back | 11:50 |
| xro | bekks, do you think encryption is so dare? | 11:50 |
| bekks | xro: I dont even think so, I know it :) | 11:51 |
| vicium\a | dr_willis: Cant you just run a recovery disk though? | 11:51 |
| vicium\a | Hmm sounds like a good idea though | 11:51 |
| xro | bekks, ohh, i knew that encryption will low my rate... but i thought less than what i get... so i should set up a ftp server.... | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | vicium\a: its taken me hours.. literraly to restore windows .... | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | with the restore partitiin ir dvds.. | 11:53 |
| alankila | encryption shouldn't hurt speed that much... it can defeat compression in some forms of vpn, but I think modern CPUs should encrypt over 10 MB/s | 11:53 |
| xro | alankila, i thought that too... but i only get 400Kb/s in my lan... (i get much more when i download from the internet....) | 11:54 |
| xro | and the CPUs are nearly sleeping.... i have 2 quad core i7... | 11:54 |
| antonio_ | What is the highest version of Adobe Air that can be installed? Isn't it like 2.6? | 11:54 |
| bekks | xro: Well, use NFS in your LAN then. | 11:55 |
| xro | bekks, nfs between 2 laptop ? | 11:55 |
| bekks | Sure, why not? | 11:55 |
| xro | bekks, yes that's possible... | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | !info sshfs | 11:55 |
| ubottu | sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.3-1 (precise), package size 42 kB, installed size 120 kB | 11:55 |
| bekks | xro: Or use FTP, or CIFS. | 11:56 |
| xro | bekks, not cifs... i thougth about FTP | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | i get faster sco speeds then that.. not sure how that differs from sftp | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | scp should be same as sftp? | 11:57 |
| cyphase | is there a way to make ubuntu 12.04 display things in MB instead of MiB? | 11:57 |
| bekks | dr_willis: It's is the same encryption, but a different protocol :) | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | so speeds should be close | 11:59 |
| xro | ok.. i'll do some checks... by and thank you | 11:59 |

| derbie | yeah | 13:03 |
| derbie | windows XP loads tons faster tho | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | derbie: you should try lubuntu maybe | 13:03 |
| derbie | ok | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !lubuntu | 13:04 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 13:04 |

| derbie | lotuspsychje: i am getting a BSOD on windows XP after 2 seconds of seeing the windows boot loading screen ( 0x0ed ) | 13:11 |
| derbie | This suggests that either the HDD is at fault or that the boot sector is corrupt (if i speak correctly) | 13:11 |
| derbie | I dont want to format but to somehow fix the boot sector so i wont have to backup everything (80GB of info) and reinstall all programs.... | 13:12 |

| Antaranian | what can I do to use my second monitor ? | 13:33 |
| minimec | Antaranian: If you are using the property driver of nvidia, it would probably only show in nvidia-settings. | 13:34 |
| Antaranian | minimec: it is, but I can't use it as a fully functional monitor | 13:35 |

| scmaccal | no clue | 13:49 |
| VanKush | mi3: a rather offlimit suggestion would be switching to KDE ^^ | 13:49 |
| mi3 | VanKush: well I was not exactly hoping for that suggestion, sir/ma'am/bot. | 13:49 |
| VanKush | User_007: tried to reconfigure lightdm? also, do you have other DM installed? | 13:50 |
| minimec | mi3: Well... Sudo apt-get install gdm. You will be asked for your default login manager during install. There you choose 'gdm'. No need to use KDE. I would never do that either... ;) | 13:51 |
| mi3 | minimec: I am not using KDE, I am using cairo dock along with unity.... | 13:51 |

| FlowRiser | i'm a newb, and the documentation doesn't really cover all the things | 14:30 |
| * mr_lou found the answer to his own question: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html | 14:31 | |
| MonkeyDust | FlowRiser start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what have you tried before you came here | 14:31 |
| Salman | /help | 14:31 |
| FlowRiser | Okay, well i'm basically wondering what are the limitations of the webkit; Can it use flash or java applets ? | 14:32 |
| endik | hiii | 14:32 |
| ThinkT510 | FlowRiser: lightdm is a login manager, why would you want it to use flash or java? | 14:33 |
| aaron | yea skip the flash and java | 14:33 |
| FlowRiser | to make it prettier | 14:33 |
| aaron | Everything can be done with HTML5 | 14:33 |
| FlowRiser | so it supports html5 ? | 14:33 |
| aaron | I would assume so | 14:34 |
| FlowRiser | The documentation just says HTML/CSS, and doesn't really help at all | 14:34 |
| iceroot | FlowRiser: flash and java are non free software, so there is no need to use something like that and if possible try not to use that kind of software | 14:35 |
| ThinkT510 | especially in a login manager | 14:35 |
| kai__ | there not "freeware" which means you cant just go in there and edit there code | 14:35 |
| kai__ | however they are "free" to download there version. | 14:35 |
| iceroot | kai__: freeware does not mean you can edit the code | 14:35 |
| kai__ | Im not to great with the terms | 14:35 |
| iceroot | kai__: they are "free as in free beer" but not "free as in free speech" | 14:35 |
| iceroot | !free | kai__ | 14:36 |
| ubottu | kai__: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 14:36 |
| FlowRiser | I see, thanks :) | 14:36 |
| iceroot | kai__: everything which is not "free as in free speech" is not good because its taking away your rights | 14:36 |
| kai__ | so you dont like steam ext? | 14:37 |
| iceroot | kai__: we would like something like steam but as free as in free speech more | 14:37 |
| aaron | OK, so from some research it only supports HTML, Javascript, and CSS | 14:37 |
| aaron | http://bobthegnome.blogspot.ca/2010/07/lightdm.html | 14:37 |
| FlowRiser | About that javascript, i cannot seem to make sense of the functions from the default theme ... | 14:38 |
| aaron | Anyone have any experience with Ubuntu for arm? | 14:39 |

| MagneticDuck | I have a *.pdf file | 14:42 |
| MagneticDuck | with a very long name | 14:42 |
| MagneticDuck | echo *.pdf returns that name | 14:42 |
| MagneticDuck | how do I use what echo returns to edit the file? | 14:42 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: tab | 14:43 |
| MagneticDuck | so.. tab | echo *.pdf? | 14:43 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: command first-characters-of-the-name TAB | 14:43 |
| MagneticDuck | w/out ? | 14:43 |
| dr_willis | why do you need to MagneticDuck | 14:43 |

| nunchuk | Hello. I would like to repartition my current HD to dual boot Windows 7 and linux. For this, I presume, I would need to format it, losing the current installation of windows. Would it be difficult to reinstall it, having at hand the windows key? | 14:58 |
| ask4n | hail! | 14:58 |
| ThinkT510 | nunchuk: you'd need the install disk too | 14:58 |
| iceroot | nunchuk: so at the moment you only have windows installed? | 14:58 |
| FlowRiser | nunchuk: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows | 14:59 |
| nunchuk | I would just shrink the ucrrent partition by using the internal windows utilities, but I want windows to occupy only the last blocks of the HDD | 14:59 |
| nunchuk | iceroot: yes | 14:59 |
| FlowRiser | i see | 14:59 |
| nunchuk | ThinkT510: that can be arraged | 14:59 |
| iceroot | nunchuk: there is a resize-option in the ubuntu installer | 14:59 |
| nunchuk | FlowRiser: Thanks for the link, will take a look. ;) | 14:59 |
| iceroot | nunchuk: which will resize the windows-installation | 14:59 |
| iceroot | nunchuk: of course a backup is (like always) a good idea | 15:00 |
| ThinkT510 | nunchuk: if you can simply resize partitions then there's no need for a reinstall | 15:00 |
| MagneticDuck | okay... how to I take a program and use its stdout as parameter to another program? | 15:00 |
| nunchuk | iceroot: Will it make windows occupy only the final blocks also? | 15:00 |
| MagneticDuck | like: gedit (echo *.txt) | 15:00 |
| MagneticDuck | that doesn't work | 15:00 |
| tupelkalkuel | Is there an easy way to have a script executed when a certain usb-drive is automounted? | 15:00 |
| MagneticDuck | so what do I use? | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | nunchuk: mak sure you run all your windows updates before partitioning | 15:00 |
| User_007 | The problem is: lightdm start -> it seems to freeze during 30 seconds with my login selected ( not even the wallpaper is loaded), i can't input the password. After the 30 seconds (without anything happening) it just go back to normal. So i can insert my password and login normally | 15:01 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: gedit *.txt | 15:01 |
| MagneticDuck | ah | 15:01 |
| gucko | oh my god! I was able to mount it but now the home directory is encrypted!!!! | 15:01 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: to open all files endiing with txt in the current folder | 15:01 |
| gucko | Is there anyway to boot from this hard disk on a virtual machine? Because that computer is in another country! | 15:02 |
| MagneticDuck | okay.. | 15:02 |
| MagneticDuck | but my real problem | 15:02 |
| MagneticDuck | HOW TO DO SEND THE RESULT OF A PROGRAM INTO ANOTHER PROGRAM via its parameters? | 15:02 |
| MagneticDuck | like... find the status of the process whose PID is in a text file | 15:03 |
| MagneticDuck | that kind of thing | 15:03 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: ps aux | grep init | 15:03 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: for example | 15:03 |
| User_007 | if i do block the screen, and hit change user it opens a new lightdm on tty8, and the same problem happens again | 15:03 |
| User_007 | does anyone have a clue about this problem? | 15:03 |
| jeffrey | anyone know how i can style xfce like ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: ps aux | grep $(<your-file-name) for example to find all processes matching what is in the file | 15:05 |
| iceroot | MagneticDuck: for more bash-questiions see #bash | 15:06 |
| minimec | User_007: Did you upgrade from an older system? Could an old lightdm config file cause the problem?? | 15:06 |
| MagneticDuck | okay | 15:06 |
| FlowRiser | MagneticDuck: You can assign the output to a variable by using j=$(command); in bash | 15:06 |
| MagneticDuck | yes | 15:07 |
| User_007 | minimec, no it was a fresh install. It don't use to happen before yesterday. Today i purged lightdm and deleted every file/folder with lightdm on it's name, and then installed lightdm again | 15:07 |

| phillyj | i did the sec. updates for 12.04 yesterday and now my lan doesnt work; no eth0 in ifconfig but lspci shows my driver; no driver in dmesg | 15:09 |
| phillyj | so is it uninstalled or just not active somewhere? | 15:09 |
| minimec | User_007: I have no clue sorry. | 15:09 |
| FlowRiser | User_007: Try going to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and change the greeter to: unity-greeter and reboot | 15:10 |
| phillyj | edit: lspci shows my ethernet card | 15:10 |
| FlowRiser | User_007: that is the default ubuntu greeter, maybe it'll work faster | 15:11 |
| User_007 | FlowRiser, it's already unity-greeter: | 15:11 |
| User_007 | [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter | 15:12 |
| FlowRiser | what's the user-session ? | 15:12 |
| OerHeks | iceroot, how do i ask the bot factoids to be updated, removing aptitude in !aptoncd ? | 15:12 |
| phillyj | if after kernel update, my driver doesn't seem to be there, should i just reinstall it? | 15:13 |
| User_007 | FlowRiser, nothing else is written on the file | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | phillyj: doubt the driver is gone , did you run ifconfig ? | 15:14 |
| User_007 | FlowRiser, just [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter | 15:14 |
| iceroot | OerHeks: i think the guys in #ubuntu-bot knows it | 15:14 |
| FlowRiser | if you are running Ubuntu, then try adding on a new line: user-session=ubuntu | 15:14 |
| iceroot | OerHeks: #ubuntu-bots | 15:14 |
| OerHeks | iceroot, thanks, i check with them. | 15:14 |
| phillyj | BluesKaj: yes, ifconfig doesn't show eth0, just "lo" | 15:14 |
| minimec | User_007: That is interesting. Add user-session=ubuntu after [SeatDefaults] | 15:14 |
| FlowRiser | User_007, but be carefull | 15:14 |
| cheako | Does any one have any ideas for dealing with bugs that affect you or ppl you know that don't seam to get any attention? | 15:15 |
| User_007 | User_007, | 15:15 |
| User_007 | FlowRiser, ok | 15:15 |
| FlowRiser | User_007, if it doesn't work you'll have to go into recovery mode and change the file back | 15:15 |
| FlowRiser | User_007, that's if you get locked out of your system | 15:15 |
| gucko | how to show the textual boot window insteal of the graphical one? | 15:16 |
| gucko | is there a command to show that while booting in graphic? | 15:16 |

| BluesKaj | ThinkT510: ok , I learned something new today :) | 15:35 |
| User_007 | ThinkT510, nice! Is there any rcconf like program to upstart? | 15:35 |
| nomike | I need to execute this command as a the "lightdm" user which still is no problem, but what's problematic is that "gsettings" seems to need a running X11-Server for whatsoever reason.

| dr_willis | sounds like drm to me | 15:39 |

| neil_ | how are all of you today? My first time in getting in. | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | on the right is correct , must have been a lefty dev who decide the left hand for x-+ | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | er decided | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | the reason has been discussed on the forums and blog sites | 16:14 |
| neil_ | I need help in getting ubuntu r | 16:15 |
| compdoc | r ? | 16:15 |
| neil_ | I need help in getting ubuntu running smoothly on a Samsung N100 netbook | 16:15 |

| dr_willis | ;) | 16:15 |
| neil_ | sorry typo... | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | dr_willis: well the reasoning for the "left" however justified is wrongheaded | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | hmm - runs ok on my 2 netbooks | 16:16 |
| Cantide | controls being on the left makes sense for the global menu, or when a program is maximised.. | 16:16 |
| SS01 | neil_: what is going wrong? Ubuntu works stock on all netbooks I know of | 16:16 |
| neil_ | well it is a bit laggy at times | 16:16 |
| j2bv16 | Fixed. No clue why was changed, but gconf help me a lot | 16:16 |
| neil_ | do i need to increase RAM | 16:16 |
| SS01 | neil_: it's a netbook, it'll happen | 16:16 |
| neil_ | ive got 1GB | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | just a bit? and only sometimes? | 16:16 |
| ollie_ | just installed ubuntu, boot up, get this: http://i.imgur.com/3W4Ne.jpg Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? | 16:17 |

| neil_ | guys | 16:17 |
| ulkesh | neil_: it will depend on what you want to run on the device | 16:18 |
| ulkesh | neil_: if you're just web browsing, 1GB or 2GB is enough | 16:18 |
| escott | nomodeset | ollie_ | 16:18 |

| ThinkT510 | neil_: thats flash for you | 16:19 |

| escott | ollie_, press shift. alternately boot a livecd and directly edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:19 |
| compdoc | ollie_, if nomodeset doesnt work, I know something you can try | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | theres html5 you can use on youtube. or flashreplacer extemnsions | 16:20 |

| neil_ | :) | 16:24 |
| mneptok | DarkSim: apology unnecessary. changed behavior says it all. :) | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | neil_: if you installed flash by the package manager. then it should be upgraded | 16:25 |
| DarkSim | I also have some problems with the updater, it says something about something being wrong and it reminds me all the time | 16:25 |
| sun_devil | How to see if iptables is enabled ? | 16:25 |

| DarkSim | ThinkT510: How do I remove a ppa? | 16:29 |
| neil_ | And guys do you happen to have itunes on your ubuntu? | 16:29 |
| ThinkT510 | !ppa-purge | DarkSim | 16:29 |
| ubottu | DarkSim: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 16:29 |
| smallfoot- | DarkSim, you can do it from 'software-properties-gtk' | 16:30 |
| ThinkT510 | !itunes | neil_ | 16:30 |
| ubottu | neil_: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 16:30 |
| neil_ | so banshee is better than rhythm box | 16:31 |
| DarkSim | But I think I need those ppa's for my Wacom tablet to work | 16:31 |
| sun_devil | Tried drivers with sourceforge and nothing works, Kodak is not the most friendly printer, Linux works good with only a few printer makers | 16:31 |
| DarkSim | I bought a HP printer recently | 16:31 |
| DarkSim | worked wonders | 16:31 |
| ThinkT510 | DarkSim: then you'll need to get into contact with the ppa maintainer | 16:31 |
| DarkSim | and I don't remember where I got it... | 16:31 |
| DarkSim | oh well | 16:31 |
| rourick | looking for pinguy chat? | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | just the worlds biggest maker's ...... | 16:31 |
| ThinkT510 | DarkSim: yeah, my hp printer works out the box | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | !alis| rourick | 16:32 |

| neil_ | ?? | 16:33 |
| sun_devil | HP works good and 1 or 2 or brands, I got stuck with a Kodak, so if I have to printer, have to boot from XP and then it works | 16:33 |

| sun_devil | I had someone tell once to just connect with cable, cause the wireless thing is a lost cause. Sourceforge has drives they offer for Kodak, but it never works | 16:34 |
| DarkSim | I've torn myself apart trying to get an old Canon printer to work that I ultimately got banned from this channel | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | neil_: i don't use any apple products so i have no idea how well they would gel with your itunes library | 16:34 |
| bekks | Brankodo: How large is the SSD at all? | 16:34 |
| DarkSim | Trust me, buy a new one | 16:34 |
| devart | Hi there, I am curious whether its possible to change the lubuntu lxde to a gnome session if any one is available | 16:35 |
| DarkSim | Or well, don't trust me | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | canon a brand to avoid. ;) | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | kodak went bankrupt dident they? | 16:35 |
| Brankodo | bekks: 128GB. 50 GB is taken up by a windows installation. So around 70GB left. I'm going to be installing a bunch of desktop environments and stuff. | 16:36 |
| bekks | Brankodo: Thats more than enough for an entire Ubuntu installation. | 16:36 |
| sun_devil | Most likely went BK, even when it was good, customer server never heard of open-source? | 16:36 |
| bekks | Brankodo: Use your other disks as /mnt/data or whatever, and put Ubuntu on your SSD. | 16:36 |
| Brankodo | bekks: And KDE, XFCE, gimp etc etc ?\ | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | Brankodo: 70gb is big for the os. ;) | 16:36 |
| bekks | Brankodo: even a system with gimp, kde, xfce, etc. does not take more than 30GB. | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | Brankodo: keep home on the hd. / on the ssd | 16:37 |
| Brankodo | Awesome. | 16:37 |
| Brankodo | Thank you. | 16:37 |
| Brankodo | See you on the other side. | 16:37 |
| sun_devil | I like Ubuntu, but cups has no idea what to do with a Kodak | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | 50gb for windows is tiny... ;) | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | cups is used by lunux. and apple and bsd. not just ubuntu | 16:38 |
| ollie_ | Okay I've managed to get in, but additional drivers isnt detecting that i need nvidia drivers | 16:38 |
| Cantide | what is the general consensus on SSDs at the moment? | 16:39 |
| dr_willis | Cantide: getting affordable ;) | 16:39 |
| ollie_ | and the default drivers are only giving me a resolution of 1024x768, when my monitor is 1920x1080 | 16:39 |
| Cantide | and reliability? | 16:39 |
| sun_devil | Kodak printer works great Vista :( MS, and XP | 16:39 |
| Cantide | i don't need much space, so the small capacity isn't a concern at all | 16:40 |
| neil_ | so what are the things that i can make my netbook work wonders with Ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest90927 | ||
| dr_willis | ollie_: install nvidia-current package and see if they work | 16:40 |
| Guest90927 | hey | 16:40 |
| Cantide | and cost isn't too much of an issue considering i want to buy just one :p | 16:40 |
| Cantide | so it all comes down to reliability for me >_< | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | hard drives are the weakest link... keep backups.... | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | hasent changed in like... ever ;) | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | long warrenties are good also. | 16:42 |
| sun_devil | Anyone know of a driver that works with Kodak? | 16:42 |
| superuser | how do i have an application run at login, such as "gnome-panel" | 16:42 |
| Guest90927 | hj | 16:42 |
| bekks | sun_devil: Did you check www.openprinting.org yet? | 16:43 |
| dr_willis | sun_devil: if one exists.. cups.org or linuxprinting.org or above | 16:43 |
| bekks | sun_devil: Which printer very exactly do you have? | 16:43 |
| dr_willis | IF one exists | 16:43 |

| elijah | Hey guys, what is the likelihood 12.04 will get Linux 3.5? | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | user defined session runs what you tell it to | 16:46 |
| mneptok | elijah: zero. | 16:46 |
| elijah | And/or will 12.10 get Linux 3.5? | 16:46 |
| elijah | mneptok: Thanks | 16:46 |
| mneptok | elijah: Ubuntu does not bump kernel revisions within a release. | 16:46 |
| superuser | yeah well how do i define my user defined session | 16:46 |
| ThinkT510 | elijah: 12.10 questions in #ubuntu+1 | 16:46 |
| DarkSim | Can't I force a update even if just a few ppa's isn't working? | 16:46 |
| mneptok | DarkSim: comment out the PPAs | 16:46 |
| devart | Question: if im running a AMD Athlong 64 3800+ would that mean i am capable of the 64bit Ubuntu OS? | 16:47 |

| Srinivas | yes | 16:47 |
| superuser | thanks, dr_willis is that in my home folder? | 16:47 |
| sun_devil | I will give it a try | 16:47 |
| elijah | Thanks ThinkT510, I asked their. | 16:47 |
| bekks | Srinivas: What is it? | 16:47 |
| elijah | *there | 16:47 |
| Srinivas | its a forked version of Unity | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | superuser: yes | 16:48 |
| bekks | Srinivas: Then it isnt supported in here, I guess. | 16:48 |

| red-lichtie | I'm trying to map the play/pause key of my bluetooth headset to vlc. The headset works fine with rhythmbox but when I press the button while in vlc I get a stop sign superimposed on the screen. There has to be an application event map of some sort for gnome or xserver somewhere. | 16:49 |
| DarkSim | Does anyone have anything to say about Compiz, I'm thinking of getting it | 16:49 |
| bazhang | killer, by following through and using aptoncd as a software repository to install packages from | 16:49 |

| Cantide | compiz-fusion? | 16:51 |
| Srinivas | not exactly purge, I intend to use a orked version of unity over the orignal one. The problem I'm facing is that the forked version is 5.12.0x and the orignal one is 5.0.15x | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | inbitado34: do ping tests and try ssh | 16:51 |

| sorrymyeng1 | hello, im trying install some pkg with aptitude, select pkg, press +, it shows red bar below with suggests, press 'e' - select first, see some unresolved, select first, in lower half of screen there are some variants: cancel installation, downgrade, etc, select what i need, press 'a' - 'apply solution', line becomes green, repeat it for all unresolved packages. now. hot to TOTALLY apply it?! 'g','!' doesnot work | 17:57 |
| bazhang | sorrymyeng1, what version of ubuntu | 17:57 |
| vicium\a | Just install with the latest ubuntu-desktop.iso & make sure I allocate lets say 200 gb or so to ubuntu? Can the installer do that? Or should I pre-format/make the partition. Also 2) Does the ubuntu installer include a multi-booter so i get the win7/ubuntu prompt on boot? | 17:58 |
| sorrymyeng1 | bazhang: 12.04 | 17:59 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK can anyone please consider my question? | 17:59 |
| bazhang | sorrymyeng1, you installed aptitude then? | 18:00 |

| subz3r0 | vicium\a, ofc you can install win7 or ubuntu from usb-sticks. | 18:02 |
| superuser | trism so do i downgrade then? it worked fine till i upgraded.. | 18:02 |
| sorrymyeng1 | bazhang: apt-get does not provide all the amenities. | 18:02 |
| vicium\a | Okay, just making sure no windows data gets purged when i put in my stick and install! :D | 18:02 |
| bazhang | sorrymyeng1, sure it does. perhaps you mean debian's apt-get | 18:03 |
| seedofc | bazhang: not sure I understand your response -- I'm trying to figure out how to get dpkg to point to a CD instead of downloading packages from the internet. When the option is chosen from recovery mode, it automatically attempts to download packages from the internet, but there is no internet connection, and therefore it fails. I need it to point to the installation CD to get its packages. | 18:03 |
| === Linuxuser is now known as Guest29550 | ||

| ThinkT510 | !aptitude | 18:06 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 18:06 |

| dr_willis | most ppa's tend to be very specific. | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Soothsayer: if you add the PPA then tell apt-get to install the package, then remove the ppa | 19:06 |
| Soothsayer | zykotick9: bazhang ActionParsnip and will I have to re-install all my PHP extensions, pecl extensions all over again? | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Soothsayer: if you use the install option on apt-get it will only install that package | 19:07 |
| Soothsayer | ActionParsnip: I see. I actually want to upgrade one of my packages to the latest version from the PPA and then remove that PPA. | 19:08 |
| fnoyanisi | hi, my xfstt keeps craching at X startup... anybody having the same issue? or any suggestions? | 19:08 |
| shamhack3 | hi!.. what is PPA? | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | 19:08 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 19:08 |

| dr_willis | !ppa | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | Soothsayer: without pinning, the 1st "apt-get upgrade" will grab any/all of the ppa version stuff (if it's higher versioned) | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: ^ | 19:08 |
| Soothsayer | so I should do an aptitude update php5 after adding the remote PPA and then remove it? have I got that right? | 19:10 |
| Soothsayer | aptitude upgrade php5* | 19:10 |
| dr_willis | i think apt-get is perfered these days | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | Soothsayer: don't use aptitude with 12.04 | 19:11 |

I thought I'd installed some certs to the system properly, but things are acting strange. `openssl s_client -connect <myserver>` doesn't work but `openssl s_client -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/ -connect <myserver>` does. I thought /etc/ssl/certs was the system wide configuration directory? | 19:15 |
| dr_willis | livingdaylight: they are like 80% the same i think | 19:16 |

| dr_willis | !java | msdaisy | 19:26 |
| ubottu | msdaisy: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| zykotick9 | sinfuzi0n: dmesg, lspci, lsusb, "sudo fdisk -l" - depends on device ;) | 19:27 |
| bekks | SS01: unless having two physically devices, they are the same. | 19:27 |
| dr_willis | SS01: they are links to the /dev/sr# device | 19:27 |

| dr_willis | PolakoOS: dont think ive ever seen that donr | 19:48 |

| zykotick9 | PolakoOS: ndiswrapper doesn't support printers. and wine won't help either. if the device doesn't support gnu/linux - then it's not supported... buy better h/w ;) | 19:48 |
| minimec | A_a_A: Well that is a different question... I cannot really help you. I never played around with these settings. Default is ok for me. | 19:48 |
| dr_willis | most printer 'drivers' are more about converting the data, or handling special hardware features | 19:49 |

| dr_willis | simplew: i dont mess with kernel files... that command updates the initramds/initrd i imagine... not the kernel file | 19:50 |
| dr_willis | SnapSnap: pemissions on the file and its location. perhaps | 19:51 |

| gvo | trism and it is a link on 10.04 | 19:54 |
| trism | dr_willis: not the current booted kernel though, just the last installed kernel | 19:55 |
| minimec | A_a_A: Maybe I can help you. There are additional options available right next to the Font/Size dropdown list. In that additional window you can 'disallow' webpages to use its own fonts. | 19:55 |
| minimec | A_a_A: --> firefox | 19:55 |
| dr_willis | so its sort of a uselessx link? ;) | 19:55 |
| trism | indeed | 19:55 |
| gvo | dr_willis: It's probably historical. | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | A_a_A: does CTRL+scrollwheel effect font size for you in firefox? | 19:56 |
| dr_willis | so simplew is trying to reinstall a useless file for no reason. ;) | 19:56 |
| gvo | dr_willis I think at a time in the distant past, the boot process looked for that file to load. Back before /boot was used. I'm fairly certain of that in kernels <1.0 Like 0.12 and 0.99 | 19:59 |

| inv_ | Yes. | 20:47 |
| inv_ | I have nomodeset on | 20:47 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: i think arch uses beta drivers (i'm on arch at the mo) | 20:47 |
| inv_ | could that be the problem? | 20:47 |
| alo21 | PengunCSC: thank you.. but I did not understand what are the arguments | 20:47 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: that card is likely a bit too new for 12.04 | 20:47 |
| inv_ | really :( | 20:47 |
| inv_ | Argh, I don't want to use Windows | 20:48 |
| inv_ | And I don't want to blow up at 1600 x 1200 or w/e I'm running at | 20:48 |

| PengunCSC | alo21, maybe this: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/10/gconftool-2-gconf-editor-from-the-shell/ | 20:49 |
| silverghost | i have tested all distros ubuntu based distros booting slower | 20:49 |
| inv_ | dr_willis, will that have nvidia drivers? | 20:49 |
| silverghost | opensuse kde is also faster than ubuntu 12.1 rc | 20:49 |
| inv_ | proprietary* | 20:49 |
| dmitri | silverghost, have you left swap the same amount as your RAM is? | 20:50 |
| silverghost | i gave ram 2143 mb | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | inv_: it has them yes.. for your card.. no idea | 20:50 |
| inv_ | hmmm | 20:50 |
| inv_ | is 12.10 "breaky"? | 20:50 |
| dmitri | silverghost what your RAM is? | 20:50 |
| silverghost | does swap space affect boot process | 20:50 |
| dmitri | yep | 20:50 |
| dmitri | in some cases | 20:51 |
| silverghost | ddr 2 4 gb | 20:51 |
| dr_willis | inv_: its in alpha | 20:51 |
| dmitri | leave 4 gb | 20:51 |
| inv_ | hmm | 20:51 |
| PengunCSC | silverghost, give us some more details about your setup | 20:51 |
| silverghost | nvidia 7300 gt | 20:51 |

| PengunCSC | silverghost, how old is your drive> | 20:52 |
| silverghost | 2 year old i think so | 20:52 |
| QuicoX | hola | 20:52 |
| alo21 | PengunCSC: and how can I create a shortcuts from the beginning? | 20:53 |
| silverghost | actually after linux mint katya 11 all ubuntu based distros is slow booting for mr but other distros boot is faster | 20:53 |
| inv_ | will this work ThinkT510 | 20:53 |
| inv_ | http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html | 20:53 |
| dmitri | silverghost,,, PengunCSC might be right, it might be your drive speed issue, i boot it in 10 secs with ssd | 20:53 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: considering that is older than 12.04 i doubt it | 20:54 |
| silverghost | hey but fedora opensuse pclinuxos mageia are booting faster than ubuntu idk why ubuntu 10.04 used to boot pretty fast | 20:54 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: i don't use ppas | 20:54 |
| inv_ | okay | 20:54 |
| inv_ | I'll give 12.10 a go | 20:54 |
| dmitri | <silverghost how much faster? | 20:55 |
| inv_ | I don't think it will make a difference, though, how do I upgrade? | 20:55 |
| dmitri | <silverghost ubuntu is known for its "under the hood" processes, and if the drive is slow it will run slower | 20:55 |
| silverghost | during login screen i get a black screen | 20:55 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 20:56 |
| inv_ | okay | 20:56 |
| inv_ | btw | 20:56 |
| inv_ | in /etc/fstab | 20:56 |
| inv_ | is the /proc one my partition? | 20:56 |
| dmitri | <silverghost whom do you answer to? | 20:56 |
| silverghost | black screen 1 minute | 20:56 |
| PengunCSC | silverghost, I just reinstalled 12.04 on a 500GB drive from 2010 - boots much faster than my previous 80GB WD drive | 20:56 |
| ThinkT510 | inv_: what do you mean by that? | 20:56 |
| dmitri | ok, the it is the driver not the drive i suppose | 20:56 |
| inv_ | nvm, disk utility is easier | 20:56 |
| inv_ | lol | 20:56 |
| silverghost | but my apps load quickly | 20:57 |
| silverghost | firefox loads pretty quick 14.01 | 20:57 |
| dmitri | <silverghost yeap, after it finds the driver( in my opinion) | 20:57 |
| dmitri | try chooosing the proprietary or viceversa | 20:57 |
| silverghost | is the black screen normal | 20:58 |
| dmitri | i think is the video | 20:58 |
| silverghost | for few moment black screen | 20:58 |
| dmitri | not for that long | 20:58 |
| silverghost | oh i checked that box install updates during installation | 20:58 |
| dmitri | few moment yes, one minute..too long | 20:58 |
| PengunCSC | silverghost, most apps are a few KBs | 20:59 |
| silverghost | ubuntu unity 3d has problems with proprietary driver enabled | 20:59 |
| PengunCSC | silverghost, and some are run from memory | 20:59 |

| o12 | I've had a hard time getting Ubuntu to even install and boot on my modern ThinkPad, and it now fails every time I boot because of the presence of this line in GRUB: "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode".

| inv_ | I'll try that then | 21:01 |
| silverghost | is there any tweak to speed up boot | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | silverghost: if you don't load any services - boot can be really quick. if you do something with your system, it takes longer ;) | 21:02 |

| soulstitchmmo | Can someone explain to me how to install AMD Catalyst Drivers that work? | 21:10 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | is that to suggest that you have installed some that do not work, soulstitchmmo | 21:10 |
| soulstitchmmo | DaDaDOSPrompt, yes. I tried installing 12.6, and they didn't work. Tried going back to 12.4, and those don't work now either. | 21:10 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | what is it doing instead of working? | 21:11 |
| soulstitchmmo | there are way too many guides on the internet. | 21:11 |
| soulstitchmmo | I can't set up my dual monitors. | 21:11 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | aaah, the multimonitor problem | 21:11 |
| soulstitchmmo | well now I can't even install the driver. | 21:11 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | I've experienced issues installing those drivers clear back to 11.10 | 21:11 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | is there more than one option? | 21:11 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | or only one that fails? | 21:11 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | that is, inside of the Jockey application where one would usually install those proprietary drivers | 21:12 |
| soulstitchmmo | I downloaded the .run from the amd website. | 21:12 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | ooh | 21:12 |
| soulstitchmmo | You would have thought that Ubuntu would have simplified driver installation by now. | 21:12 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | well, yeah, it should | 21:12 |
| devtekalpha | Does anyone develop android apps on ubuntu? Is it a lot of trouble to set up? | 21:13 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | it should have whined at you about installing drivers via jockey unless your card is unsupported somehow | 21:13 |
| soulstitchmmo | I don't even know what jockey is. | 21:13 |
| soulstitchmmo | is that the "additional drivers" section of system settings? | 21:13 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | yeah | 21:13 |
| soulstitchmmo | cause that driver doesn't work either. | 21:13 |
| ctrl_ | hey guys i have a problem | 21:13 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | that's its name if invoked from the command line | 21:13 |

| enix | I recently updated to the newest (12.04) ubuntu. I think 8 was the last time things worked right on my laptop. would there be any problems doing a fresh install of 8 and disabling any update processes? | 21:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | enix, you mean ubuntu 8.04 ? | 21:57 |
| Myr | I think security problems | 21:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | !8.04 | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 21:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | Its EOL... | 21:57 |

| Hwkiller | hello teklord | 21:59 |
| Hwkiller | I wish you luck | 21:59 |
| teklord | I need a gvim config that jives with the ambiance terminal scheme (dark pink/purple). | 21:59 |
| teklord | Someone must have written one. | 22:00 |
| teklord | I want it. | 22:00 |
| teklord | Now. | 22:00 |
| teklord | Please. | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | so you want me to go google it for you? ;) | 22:00 |
| teklord | Dr_Willis: cant find one. Do your voodoo, duder. | 22:01 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=625 | 22:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive no idea what you really need.. theres dozens of themes at the various vim sites and forums | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | It is the top 100 rated color schemes on vim.sf.net as of Jan 20th, 2010 | 22:02 |
| teklord | Dr_Willis: I didnt ask for dozens of themes, I asked for the ambiance theme that Ubuntu is the originator of. I asked for a gvim theem, not some damn sample pack of theems that I dont want. Are you an official supprut giver here? Not very good. | 22:02 |
| kevin | hi all... is there a command to reconfigure/regenerate xorg.conf to "stock"? recently the file was deleted/corrupted and it doesnt register my 1680x1050 resolution. | 22:03 |
| Dr_Willis | teklord, demand a refund i guess. | 22:03 |
| kevin | "it" being X when it auto-probes when xorg.conf is not found | 22:03 |
| Father_Jack | teklord, ask for your money back | 22:03 |
| Father_Jack | :) | 22:03 |
| * Dr_Willis closes the ticket. | 22:03 | |
| Hwkiller | You shouldn't have to generate an xorg.conf anymore | 22:03 |
| teklord | How cute, you have a unified reply that matters to you. Cute. Kiss kIss. | 22:03 |
| Dr_Willis | kevin, the stock is to not have an xorg.conf | 22:03 |
| non | hi all | 22:04 |
| kevin | Hwkiller , Dr_Willis: well, for some reason 1680x1050 is no longer available.. xrandr doesn't show it | 22:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kevin, whats your video card? | 22:04 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2) | 22:04 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: it's an onboard vidcard, and for some reason the nvidia binary drivers don't work (hard freezes system), so i need to switch back to nouveau | 22:05 |
| Dr_Willis | kevin, i belive you use the nvidia-settings tools - im not sure how well xrandr does with the nvidia drivers. The xrandr and other tools would be for the Noveau drivers. | 22:05 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: yeah i'm using nouveau | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | its posible the nouveau drivers dont support all the features of the card. | 22:06 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: it was working before... | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | what did you do to break it? ;P | 22:07 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: lol. i installed the nvidia binary and then removed it | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | kevin, is there an xorg.conf file then? if so try renameing it. | 22:08 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: not anymore. i have no xorg.conf | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | you restarted X/rebooted after removing it? | 22:08 |
| kevin | yes | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Checked your X logs? may be some info in /var/log/ about it | 22:09 |
| AndChat|622356 | I have mold growing in my room. I hope i wont die | 22:09 |
| kevin | and im looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding_undetected_resolutions and it says i do in fact need an xorg.conf , but i figured there is some auto-tool to create it, because i didn't create it the first time | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | kevin, but if it was working BEFOR when you dident have an xorg.conf then you shouldent need one. | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | by default theres no xorg.conf - only systems i have one on.is when i install my nvidia drivers. | 22:10 |
| kevin | Dr_Willis: hmm... | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | test with the live cd. see if it gets the proper res. | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | then see if theres an xorg.conf on the live setup. ;P | 22:10 |

| inv_ | Kynrek, | 22:32 |

| inv_ | during the startup | 22:32 |
| inv_ | at grub | 22:32 |
| inv_ | press e | 22:32 |
| Kynrek | I'm not sure that it's grub, I think it's the windows boot menu | 22:32 |

| ubottu | 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 | 22:33 |
| Kynrek | can I use grub and try the e option then? | 22:33 |
| kevin | exutux: https://gist.github.com/3202259 | 22:34 |

Using the overscan option, the display renders out to each of the four corners of the screen, but after each reboot, the black borders are back! Checking the overscan options reveals that the slider is where it s | 22:55 |

My girlfriend is running Ubuntu 12.04, with Catalyst 12.6 (Had to do a jockey-less install, due to incompatible hardware) and a Radeon 7850 HD on a 24 inch monitor using a resolution of 1920x1080, connected by an HDMI cable (native). Using the overscan option, the display renders out to each of the four corners of the screen, but after each reboot, the black borders are back! Checking the overscan options reveals that the slider is where it s | 23:21 |
| Randomuser894739 | hould be, but the display is not. Moving the slider just an inch then sets the correct overscan option. It resets on each reboot! Can anybody point us in the right direction? | 23:21 |
| PMantis | Father_Jack: I'll see how far I can get, then... thank you. | 23:21 |
| Father_Jack | good luck | 23:21 |
| SeymourAsses | Ubuntu comes with a firewall pre-installed and running, doesn't it? | 23:22 |
| Father_Jack | SeymourAsses, nope its off | 23:22 |
| meelu | ghostchick: what? | 23:22 |
| SeymourAsses | Huh... | 23:22 |
| meelu | Hi, I am using Ubuntu. Unfortunately my the display doesn't work and when it jumps to low graphics mode keyboard and mouse doesn't work (i am using d255 notebook) Anyway i tried a few solutions but gave up trying and want to install ubuntu again. | 23:23 |
| meelu | Right now i'm trying to create a live USB through Command Line Interface, Does anyone have an easy tip for me, i can'gt access any web pages apart from on my phone | 23:23 |
| meelu | sorry re asking | 23:23 |
| Father_Jack | SeymourAsses, sudo ufw status | 23:23 |
| bz | aren't there a zillion live usb tutorials on google? | 23:23 |
| moe2449 | fuse: mountpoint is not empty fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option. How do I use the nonempty mount option? | 23:25 |
| meelu | bc: i can't google | 23:26 |
| meelu | command line interface | 23:26 |
| meelu | my laptop fkd me over | 23:27 |
| meelu | netbook | 23:27 |
| meelu | i just want to be pointed at the right direction, i tried googling on my phone its hard to find a good guide which works | 23:28 |
| ghostchick | meelu: did you already downloaded an iso ? | 23:28 |
| meelu | i just want to setup a live usb from command line interface no one knows how to/ | 23:28 |
| meelu | yeah | 23:28 |
| meelu | i can | 23:28 |
| meelu | takes a few mins | 23:28 |
| bz | so i just deleted passwd* from /etc | 23:28 |
| meelu | ghostchick: | 23:28 |
| Father_Jack | meelu just dd the image to the usb stick | 23:28 |
| ghostchick | okey download an iso and then we will get it on the usb with dd | 23:28 |
| Father_Jack | sorry going to stay out of it | 23:29 |
| meelu | ghostchick: care to explain what i can do after download the iso | 23:29 |
| Randomuser894739 | meelu, dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/<USB Drive> bs=1M | 23:29 |
| Randomuser894739 | Now, help me with my problem :D | 23:29 |
| ghostchick | Randomuser894739: 4M i would say | 23:29 |
| meelu | Randomuser894739: thats the answer iv been looking for thanks | 23:29 |
| meelu | is that all? | 23:29 |
| ghostchick | yup | 23:30 |
| Randomuser894739 | Should work | 23:30 |
| meelu | thanks :D | 23:30 |
| Randomuser894739 | You can also do the oposite to create an image of your usb. | 23:30 |
| Randomuser894739 | And send it to other usb sticks, that is. | 23:30 |
| Father_Jack | 4M is safe enough and faster | 23:30 |
| Father_Jack | grr i'm late today | 23:30 |
| bz | why not just do 256M? | 23:31 |
| bz | i bet that's even faster | 23:31 |
| meelu | Randomuser894739: do i do df for displaying drives | 23:31 |
| ghostchick | Randomuser894739: a tip would be reconfiguring manually xorg | 23:31 |
| Randomuser894739 | meelu, sudo fdisk -l works for me. | 23:31 |

| Guest41926 | I want to set up a dual boot system on my desktop with windows and ubuntu 12.04 except I'll be using raid and lvm across 3 disks. How can I do that so both operating systems use the same raid/lvm no matter which one I choose to fire up? | 23:32 |
| meelu | exit | 23:32 |
| Randomuser894739 | ghostchick ? | 23:34 |
| escott | Guest41926, windows does not understand lvm | 23:34 |
| Guest41926 | escott: I see. So that's a no go then? | 23:35 |
| Guest41926 | is there an alternative? | 23:35 |
| Guest41926 | A way to keep some similarity between the two systems? | 23:35 |
| escott | Guest41926, if raid/lvm is a requirement you might run windows as a virtualized guest inside linux | 23:36 |
| Guest41926 | I see | 23:36 |
| Guest41926 | ok | 23:36 |
| user1 | exit | 23:36 |
