[00:00] <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] <MagneticDuck> someone1: as to copying the files to a "www directory"..
[00:00] <bazhang> !rute | someone1 and this
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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?
[00:03] <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] <usr13> Fusion_: Is there a distortion in the way the desktop looks?
[00:04] <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?
[00:05] <bazhang> !ot | y0om4
[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.
[00:06] <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?
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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] <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
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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?
[00:12] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  you can enable the html5 feature of chromium on youtube with  the http://youtube.com/html5 page ;) or install flash..
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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.
[00:17] <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?
[00:18] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  if they use flash.. install flash.. or a flashreplacer plugin...
[00:19] <Dr_willis> !flash
[00:19] <usr13> Fusion_: sudo Xorg -configure
[00:20] <Fusion_> usr13 gives me Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:26] <usr13> Fusion_: jockey-gtk
[00:26] <Fusion_> usr13 whats that?
[00:26] <usr13> Fusion_: Run:  jockey-gtk  #It will install Nvidia driver.
[00:27] <Fusion_> ahh ok
[00:27] <usr13> Fusion_: It's the "Additional Driver" app
[00:27] <theHaven1>  hi, I am trying to link an oracle 8.1.6.3 AIX to SQLServer 2008 R2 63 bits.

[00:34] <Salman> Auzy: Yes?
[00:34] <Salman> Auzy: ?
[00:34] <usr13> Fusion_: Sorry it took so long to figure it out...
[00:34] <usr13> ttyl
[00:34] <Auzy> No idea what you mean by "it" Salman
[00:34] <Fusion_> its all good we got there in the end. Thanks for the help usr13
[00:34] <Salman> Your how chat green color
[00:35] <Salman> Auzy: How chat you green color for me
[00:37] <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.
[00:38] <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?
[00:39] <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
[00:40] <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
[00:41] <Auzy> OerHeks, not if its bridged..
[00:41] <Salman> Auzy: You how my name green color chat
[00:42] <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?
[00:43] <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)
[00:44] <ki4ro_> Why doesn't scangear upgrade automatically like other programs
[00:44] <Salman> OerHeks: Colour green chat me
[00:44] <OerHeks> !pm | Salman
[00:45] <Salman>  How /pm chat help
[00:46] <Salman> :pm OerHeks how
[00:46] <Salman> Pm chat /pm not on
[00:46] <Dr_willis> Your irc client colors names depending on how its configured Salman ..
[00:47] <OerHeks> ki4ro_, scangear is not in the repo's, so it won't go trough the update cycle,
[00:47] <Salman> Color /color not on
[00:47] <ki4ro_> OerHeks: So that's why my scanner screws up after updates?
[00:48] <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.
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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_ Only if the scangear makes "advertise" when there are updates
[00:50] <maucat> test
[00:51] <ki4ro_> OerHeks: Auzy...so switch scanners or put up with it I guess
[00:51] <Auzy> ki4ro_, Pretty much.. it's not compatible with simplescan or other generic drivers?
[00:52] <ki4ro_> Auzy: Don't know, but I don't think anything can "see" it until I get the latest scangear
[00:53] <ki4ro_> Auzy: Very frustrating and aggravating
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <ki4ro_> Auzy: Thanks for the advice...have a good evening
[00:55] <Auzy> ki4ro_, its actually very common for developers to not be aware of bugs, or feature requests
[00:56] <Salman_> Auzy:king
[00:56] <Salman_> Colour
[00:56] <Auzy> ?
[00:56] <Salman_> How to pm chat
[00:56] <OerHeks> !ot | Salman
[00:57] <OerHeks> no private chat here, friend.
[00:57] <Auzy> maybe you need to go to the limechat channel Salman_
[00:57] <Salman_> Yes
[00:58] <Salman_> I help colors chat
[00:58] <Auzy> ffs Salman your IRC clients aren't even linux based.. Please don't ask here, or ask in offtopic..
[00:58] <Auzy> They are iOS based..

[01:00] <Guest79433> how can i change nick?
[01:00] <n2diy> I got video working in youtube, but when I try and run a video link in facebook I'm told "the flash plugin needs your permission to run."
[01:00] <sdfsd> I can provide more details =P
[01:01] <Auzy> Guest79433, /nick
[01:01] <jeffrey> anyway to watch netflix in ubuntu?
[01:01] <Auzy> Guest79433, /nick NEWNICK .. You may also want to register your nick.. /nickserv help
[01:02] <malikmasr> does anyone have experience with l2tpd or ipsec?
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <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.
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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] <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
[01:07] <malikmasr> Auzy, do you know if the cisco vpn requires cisco hardware? its not a software correct?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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?
[01:10] <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/)
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <malikmasr> ok ill give it a go then, would u recommend openvpn over pptpd?
[01:13] <jeffrey> what is a good unity replacement?
[01:14] <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
[01:16] <malikmasr> awesome, sounds promising
[01:16] <malikmasr> ty
[01:17] <Guest5067> last
[01:18] <Guest5067> Fans of resident evil likes my pageeeeeee
[01:18] <JoseeAntonioR> Guest5067: Please, don't advertise here.
[01:19]  * 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
[01:20]  * Salman auzy hi
[01:20] <Guest5067> h
[01:21] <Auzy> hi
[01:22] <SecretFire> why does my usb hdd show up when i use the fdisk -l command but when I try to mount it it says that the special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[01:24] <Salman> Auzy: Green Colour hi
[01:24] <Salman> Auzy hello
[01:24] <JoseeAntonioR> Salman: Do you have a support question?
[01:24] <Salman> Auzy help me
[01:24] <Salman> Yes JoseeAntonioR
[01:24] <JoseeAntonioR> !ask | Salman
[01:24] <escott> SecretFire, what command are you using to try to mount it
[01:25] <Salman> ubottu: Pm chat help
[01:25] <CavalierPrime> secretfire your usb is mounted under /media perhaps?
[01:25] <JoseeAntonioR> !pm | Salman
[01:25] <Auzy> Salman.. PLEASE GO TO AN IOS CHANNEL.. ITS A IRC CLIENT QUESTION.. You are using IOS
[01:25] <SecretFire> CavalierPrime : thats where it usually auto-mounts but it is not doing so anymore
[01:26] <Salman> !pm | Auzy hi
[01:26] <CavalierPrime> secretfire  Create a directory like /home/username/usbdrive     then   mount /dev/sdb1 /home/usbdrive/usb
[01:26] <Salman> !pm auzy
[01:26] <IdleOne> Salman: Please stop doing that
[01:26] <IdleOne> Salman: what do you need help with?
[01:27] <SecretFire> CavalierPrime : I tried that. Did sudo mkdir /media/external and it would not mount
[01:27] <Auzy> Please kick him.. I've told you three times Salman.. Your question has nothing to do with Ubuntu, I can't help because I use android, and, you haven't tried going to the Colloquy channel for help
[01:27] <CavalierPrime> secretfire wow, hit a real wall
[01:27] <SecretFire> then after i try to mount it does not show in lsusb
[01:27] <SecretFire> i think its dead
[01:28] <ghostchick> SecretFire,  does it show up in gparted ?
[01:28] <Salman> !pm | Auzy you have teamviewer
[01:28] <SecretFire> ghostchick : it shows in lsusb and fdisk -l havent tried gparted
[01:28] <IdleOne> Salman: stop doing !pm or I will ban you.
[01:28] <IdleOne> Salman: what do you need help with?
[01:29] <ghostchick> SecretFire,  if it appears there then it is not dead ; )
[01:29] <SecretFire> but it doesnt stay there
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <SecretFire> It is an ext3 filesystem
[01:30] <Auzy> He has already been told so many times not to PM people
[01:30] <ardian__> Hi I want to install xfce on ubuntu but I don't want the welcome screen to be the unity one is that possible
[01:30] <Salman> !pm | ardian__ hi
[01:30] <ghostchick> ardian__,  the lightdm screen you mean ?
[01:31] <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
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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.
[01:35] <escott> Allanon09, you can lsattr on the files
[01:37] <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/
[01:38] <SecretFire> escott : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116673/
[01:39] <escott> SecretFire, disk is going bad. its getting bounced from the bus when you try to read it
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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,
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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?
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <izunauchiha03> ciao
[01:45] <escott> Allanon09, but as this "media" user you can see one folder but not the other?
[01:45] <izunauchiha03> !list
[01:46] <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.
[01:47] <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)
[01:48] <escott> SecretFire, he means put it in the freezer for a few minutes
[01:48] <reuf> on ubuntu - any tool/software to mass download youtube videos from list of links i provide
[01:49] <bazhang> reuf, youtube-dl
[01:49] <reuf> can i specify format of download?
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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?
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <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] <exodus77> I am new to Linux
[01:52] <jiltdil> bazhang,  ok thanks
[01:52] <SecretFire> usr13: ok
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <SecretFire> escott : I do have a cd drive that don't use anymore
[01:55] <SecretFire> already connected
[01:56] <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)
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <escott> ardian__, a chroot is rather complex to setup. you have to copy libc and all dependencies into that chroot
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <escott> ardian__, unless its some deep core level application a different uid should be enough to protect your data and systems
[02:04] <ardian__> escott, umm no rather mysql stuff web dev with ruby and python
[02:04] <jeffrey> is there any fix for the pulseaudio equalizer distortion problem when changing volume?
[02:04] <evilytwisted> do you guys remember life without the internet?
[02:04] <kathia> hello could I get help please?
[02:04] <jeffrey> yes, i remember watching awesome cartoons and vhs tapes
[02:04] <kathia> :)
[02:05] <jeffrey> i remember when the internet was an activity for like an hour a day cause it tied up the phone line
[02:05] <Allanon09> escott: ok.. i will poke around samba some more toight. Thanks for looking at taht stuff for me
[02:05] <evilytwisted> remeber the a o hell days?
[02:05] <kathia> I need assistance installing flash on backtrack 5 installation
[02:05] <jeffrey> evilytwisted, private room gif?
[02:06] <jeffrey> i still remember my first aol punter lol
[02:06] <jeffrey> firetoolz
[02:06] <escott> !backtrack | kathia
[02:06] <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
[02:07] <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.
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <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] <terminhell> howdy
[02:09] <escott> ardian__, sure
[02:09] <halogen> hello
[02:10] <ardian__> escott, only  vbox headless
[02:10] <lauratika> but even if some one crack a wpa2 enterprise connection still safe?
[02:10] <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..
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <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?
[02:14] <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] <kathia> I've tried everything stated on sites, but I have 0 luck
[02:15] <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)
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <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?
[02:18] <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. For example, ctrl+a, ctrl+f, ctrl+h, in gedit not working but in other app (komodo edit), it's working. What I should do? thank you before.
[02:19] <lauratika> how i identfy if the voice in the other side is the correct
[02:20] <lauratika> +??
[02:20] <kathia> where do I find unauthorized essentials?
[02:20] <MReaper-17> hola
[02:20] <MReaper-17> hay alguien?
[02:20] <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] <ardian__> escott, can you give me some link to the vb headless or is this one that has to do with PHP ?
[02:20] <sdfsd> Help requested for diagnosing SSH authentication denied issue on ubuntu (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1105450/)
[02:22] <escott> ardian__, its not something i've done so i don't know what a good set of instructions would be http://www.trimentation.com/wp/?p=71
[02:22] <ardian__> escott, thank you
[02:22] <lauratika> yes a 16 character key
[02:23] <escott> lauratika, so in network manager when you setup the client you need to type that 16 character key in
[02:23] <kathia> puuf : where can I find unauthorized essentials for ubuntu 10.04 lts??
[02:23] <jeffrey> is there any good alternatives to the unity desktop?
[02:24] <david0rk> hi all!
[02:24] <david0rk> anyone on?
[02:24] <jeffrey> hi
[02:24] <escott> sdfsd, "*.pem" is an unusual extension. you might need to convert to the standard openssh formats. what does your auth_keys files look like on the remote server, and what permissions does it have
[02:25] <OerHeks> kathia, i think you want restricted extra's
[02:25] <Auzy> jeffrey, that depends on the user..
[02:25] <ardian__> david0rk, yes like 1499
[02:25] <Auzy> err.. jeffrey I mean
[02:25] <david0rk> quick question, anyone know what package i need if i just want to rebuild one module?
[02:25] <kathia> OerHeks where can I find that?
[02:25] <jeffrey> Auzy, i prefer the traditional 1 panel bar with everything, any suggestions?
[02:26] <jeffrey> like a traditional windows machine essentially
[02:26] <terminhell> wb jeffrey
[02:26] <escott> !notunity | jeffrey
[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] <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..
[02:27] <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 ?
[02:28] <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.
[02:29] <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.
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <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 :)
[02:32] <thecomputergeek> Is this the IRC support channel?
[02:32] <escott> !topic | thecomputergeek
[02:32] <escott> thecomputergeek, this is ubuntu support
[02:32] <lauratika> of course,with my super spy microscope double paranoia flavor ssm
[02:33] <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.
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <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
[02:39] <lauratika> you are right,i should develope  mental ecrypted comunication mec
[02:41] <thecomputergeek> here is the link        http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A38%3A09.png
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <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] <tester> im trying to get my rtl8190 wireless card to work in my desktop, i'm on 12.04, and I installed the xp driver through ndisgtk and it installs, and says hardware found, but when I do sudo lshw -c network, it says the device is UNCLAIMED.  any ideas?
[02:45] <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
[02:47] <Costeelation> i can resize my ubuntu partition without  lost the data?
[02:47] <thecomputergeek> still getting errors. here is link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A46%3A51.png
[02:47] <escott> Costeelation, usually, but its good practice to backup first
[02:47] <xangua> Costeelation: backups are always good idea
[02:48] <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?
[02:49] <mickusbuntu> hello
[02:49] <Costeelation> hi
[02:49] <escott> thecomputergeek, also missing sudo it should be "sudo apt-get"
[02:51] <thecomputergeek> no. but then i did and got this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A50%3A24.png
[02:52] <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] <thecomputergeek> already closed.
[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
[02:53] <soulstitchmmo> Is there a guide somewhere? (I'm a novice)
[02:53] <terminhell> google
[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
[02:54] <terminhell> silly /lock
[02:54] <studio> how can i know if i have my graphic card driver installed and if actually works?
[02:54] <thecomputergeek> ps aux | grep dpkg | grep -v grep      gets me this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A54%3A01.png
[02:55] <terminhell> studio: you can see with it.
[02:55] <escott> thecomputergeek, so "dpkg" which installs stuff is still running. you should try to let it finish
[02:56] <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.
[02:57] <thecomputergeek> tried. got this and typed what it asked. here is output: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51898273/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2021%3A56%3A40.png
[02:57] <terminhell> studio: Um, anything. You can try running glxgears or other benchmarking stuff to verify 3d compatibility etc
[02:57] <Jagst3r15> hmm, im trying to watch a tv show on youtube that I purchased, but it says I need to install the HAL module http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/flash-player-11-problems-playing.html
[02:58] <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 ...
[02:59] <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
[03:01] <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.
[03:02] <studio> terminhell:in details i can see that my driver is vesa:pak
[03:02] <thecomputergeek> could you repost that code for me?
[03:03] <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] <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
[03:05] <thecomputergeek> ok
[03:07] <thecomputergeek> it is updating right now, may take a minute.
[03:08] <studio> how can i know if my graphic card driver is installed and if it works?
[03:09] <escott> studio, glxinfo will tell you what glx stack you are using
[03:12] <kantian> studio hi
[03:12] <Pecker> is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP
[03:12] <studio> hi
[03:12] <kantian> studio well, in my case, there is a control panel that got installed along with the propretary driver, which reports on the card
[03:13] <Animeking> can i replace compiz with another WM?
[03:13] <thecomputergeek> what do i do when it says 100% [39 Packages 44.0 kB/121 kB 36%]
[03:13] <Animeking> if I am on unity
[03:14] <soulstitchmmo> What are the dimensions for a unity bar application icon? I set a new icon for my teamspeak client and it doesn't appear to be showing up.
[03:14] <thecomputergeek> it wont let me enter more commands
[03:14] <studio> escott:OpenGL renderer string:(...) this is my card driver?
[03:14] <Animeking> or is unity very dependent on  compiz
[03:14] <soulstitchmmo> and while you guys are discussing video cards, why won't AMD Catalyst save it's settings?
[03:14] <escott> studio, yes
[03:14] <thecomputergeek> never mind, it is still busy. sorry about that.
[03:15] <studio> escott:also this indicates that this driver is currently in use?
[03:15] <escott> studio, if glxgears works then that is the library it is using to draw
[03:16] <studio> escott:yeah glxgears works :D
[03:16] <krytarik> Animeking, regular Unity is a plugin of Compiz, Unity 2D also runs under any other window manager, by default Metacity.
[03:17] <Animeking> ah,how do i enable unity 2?D
[03:17] <studio> escott:do you suggest any program for linux to benchmark gpu?
[03:17] <Pecker> anyone?
[03:17] <sdfsd> escott: I will check sec, I think I checked already and didn't notice anything unusual.. believe i checked permissions as well.  The pem file comes from the fact that I'm using amazon aws, and that is their standard format/instructions were followed.  It works in general, for other servers, but something's farked up about this one that we're talking about. I want to figure it out so it doesn't
[03:17] <sdfsd> happen again.
[03:18] <thecomputergeek> i am now running the sudo apt-get upgrade command.
[03:19] <krytarik> Animeking, you can choose "Ubuntu 2D" on the login screen.
[03:19] <Animeking> ok
[03:20] <autojack> I'm trying to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel on a Lucid system. I've built kernels completely from scratch before, but never built kernel packages like this. the 'fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic' step is failing because there's no binary-generic make target. help?
[03:20] <animus123> anybody know,how to open .la and .so files?
[03:20] <saustin> how do I see hidden files and folders in the GUI folder explorer?
[03:20] <jmrog> saustin: Hit Ctrl+H
[03:20] <saustin> jmrog, thank you
[03:21] <jmrog> saustin: No problem
[03:21] <MT> I want to upgrade my modem to docsys3...do I have to upgrade router as well to get full benefit of new modem?
[03:21] <jmrog> MT: That's not really an Ubuntu-specific question
[03:22] <ubuntuser> ohai
[03:22] <miguelgd> hi
[03:22] <animus123> please help!!
[03:22] <miguelgd> me too xD
[03:22] <Auzy> MT, its unrelated, but no..
[03:22] <Pecker> MT: as long as your router supports ethernet you should be fine
[03:22] <cfhowlett> *details, people!*
[03:22] <jmrog> ^
[03:22] <MT> Thanks!
[03:23] <Auzy> MT, its unrelated, but depends on bandwidth.. Almost all routers support 100mb/s on the wlan port..
[03:23] <Pecker> animus123: why do you want to open those? those are used in applications, not something youd want to view unless you knwo how to code
[03:23] <miguelgd> hello,some people know java developent, because i have a simple problem with ubuntu and restore a jframe after minimize
[03:23] <gaby> hello any one can help me - i downloaded google earth and for long time i didnt use it - and not its not working even i reinstall it again
[03:24] <simplew> can anyone point where i can download quantal live cd?
[03:24] <animus123> pecker:actually my sis driver not working,hence i want to open..
[03:24] <IdleOne> simplew: join #ubuntu+1 for 12.10
[03:24] <cfhowlett> gaby: error msg's??
[03:24] <sdfsd> escott: not sure what you mean by auth_keys files, I am looking at the permissions on the ssh directory, and I see nothing different (permissionswise), between a working and a nonworking setup.
[03:24] <animus123> pecker:do you how to open these files?
[03:24] <__skpl> can someone help me? ubuntu 2d is running very slow
[03:24] <sdfsd> escott: and of course at the files within the ssh directory, timestamps, perms.. etc.
[03:25] <gaby> cfhowlett : no - no error msg - just not responding
[03:25] <Pecker> animus123: easy to figure out... pretty sure they are text files
[03:25] <thecomputergeek> still working on it.
[03:25] <Pecker> but still its full of code DONT open them unless you know how to code
[03:25] <jeffrey> true player foreal ask ubunty
[03:25] <cfhowlett> gaby: sudo apt-get purge googleearth && sudo apt-get install googleearth
[03:26] <Pecker> youre better off telling us what exactly isnt working so we can try to help you animus123
[03:26] <cfhowlett> gaby: those will purge the system of all configs and data then reinstall
[03:26] <animus123> pecker:hey,i tried it in gedit,but not opened in it.
[03:26] <jeffrey> is there a recommended way to uninstall things? or with the software center be adequate?
[03:27] <cfhowlett> jeffrey: software center whenever possible
[03:27] <escott> sdfsd, if you want to post the authorized_keys file and the permissions for the .ssh directory we can look at it
[03:28] <animus123> pecker:well i am unable to play any video.instead of video,different colors of strips are appearing..i figured out that was a driver problem!
[03:28] <gaby> cfhowlett : it tells me  E: couldnt find package googleearth
[03:28] <thecomputergeek> almost done
[03:29] <sdfsd> escott: I'm not sure what you mean by authorized_keys file
[03:29] <escott> sdfsd, im not sure how you expect an identity to work without an authorized_keys file
[03:30] <animus123> pecker:and i am using world's most horrible graphic card,sis 671...
[03:30] <escott> sdfsd, unless there is some crazy configuration to these aws systems you would have ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[03:31] <escott> gaby, you probably need some kind of google ppa
[03:31] <thecomputergeek> the sudo apt-get upgrade command is taking a bit longer then i thought. sorry.
[03:32] <cfhowlett> gaby: not ignoring.  china internet service is s - l - o - w
[03:32] <gaby> cfhowlett: what you mean by last msg ?
[03:32] <cfhowlett> gaby: note the 3d acceleration is required to run google earth.  http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2010/05/02/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu-10-04/
[03:33] <sdfsd> escott: i checked the perms on the .ssh directory, I believe they are, rwx for the owner, same for both working and nonworking cases, the perms for the authorized_keys file are also the same for both cases, rw for the owner, the contents of the authorized_keys file looks okay
[03:34] <__skpl> can someone help me? ubuntu 2d is running very slow
[03:36] <jeffrey> __skpl, did you install the video drivers?
[03:37] <n2diy> Just installed xubuntu 12.04 on a box that had ubuntu 12.04 on it. Now the grub boot loader is failing to install?
[03:37] <n2diy>  I kept the old partitions, but reformatted them.
[03:37] <cfhowlett> !grub|n2diy
[03:37] <jeffrey> n2diy, did you put the grub on the hard drive itself, or the partition?
[03:37] <escott> sdfsd, if you are certain those files are correct you can check sshd_config
[03:38] <n2diy> jeffrey, I'm not sure, when it asked if I wanted to install grub I said yes.
[03:39] <__skpl> does ubuntt 2d need special video drivers?
[03:41] <n2diy> jeffrey, the error messages says the 'grub-pc' failed to install into /target/.
[03:44] <cfhowlett> n2diy: pastebin your terminal output
[03:46] <n2diy> cfhowlett, I don't have a terminal, I'm doing an install.
[03:46] <soulstitchmmo> How do I kill PulseAudio? http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-9206.html
[03:46] <sdfsd> escott: what I'm basically doing is comparing a new setup to the nonworking setup, and not noticing any differences so far.  I just rechecked the sshd_config, nothing different between working and nonworking.  I can post it if you want.  I was hoping something could be gleamed from the verbose ssh log.
[03:47] <cfhowlett> SoulShadow: ps -x in a terminal to find the process ID.  Then kill -9 PID
[03:47] <Barami> Hello :)
[03:47] <escott> sdfsd, not on the client side. all i see is the server rejecting the offered key
[03:47] <cfhowlett> Barami: greetings.  what's your ubuntu support question
[03:48] <sdfsd> escott: hm, how can I check the serverside then, if there is one, such log
[03:48] <soulstitchmmo> cfhowlett: (how do you get the names to show up in red?) Will that kill all my sound? Or will alsa then take over?
[03:48] <Barami> I have a problem about font config..
[03:49] <escott> sdfsd, /var/log?
[03:49] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: killing pulse will stop it.  HOwever, if pulse is set as your default sound processor it'll restart when you fire up a sound app
[03:49] <thecomputergeek> i think my problem may be solved. if i end the sudo apt-get upgrade process early/manualy, will i run into lots of problems?
[03:49] <soulstitchmmo> cfhowlett: How do I change my default sound processor?
[03:50] <sdfsd> escott: okay, there are lots of files in here, looking throught them...
[03:50] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: how is pulse failing you?
[03:50] <soulstitchmmo> Apparently it's a problem with playing LoL using POL.
[03:50] <Pecker> is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP
[03:50] <soulstitchmmo> And my sound keeps cutting out in TF2 (using POL as well)
[03:52] <thecomputergeek> my pc wont crash if i end the sudo apt-get process, will it?
[03:53] <thecomputergeek> i ment sudo apt-get upgrade process
[03:53] <__skpl> does ubuntt 2d need special video drivers?
[03:53] <__skpl> can someone help me? ubuntu 2d is running very slow
[03:53] <Barami> In a firefox browser, that browser don't display sans font for cjk when css font setted to Arial, or Helvetica, or etc except sans-serif.  http://i45.tinypic.com/2ypglg6.png
[03:53] <sdfsd> escott: there is a file, auth.log, in there, there is this suspicious message-- Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/ubuntu.  I cannot be sure this was in response to one of my failed authentication attempts, but it seems possible
[03:55] <doomikus> using an HP dv6910us with 12.04, closing the lid and suspend and subsequent wake-up causes full screen solid colors that rotate (blue, green, red, etc.).  any ideas?
[03:56] <Barami> epiphany or chrome display correctly.. But. firefox work incorrectly..
[03:58] <thecomputergeek> i think my problem is solved. thank you for the help.
[03:58] <thecomputergeek> exit
[04:00] <akhilblue> Hey guys. i am new to ubuntu, and i have a small problem
[04:01] <jeffrey> how do i get the menu to display in an app like banshee?
[04:01] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: welcome.  details please
[04:01] <jeffrey> the file menu is missing
[04:02] <doomikus> hi all
[04:02] <cfhowlett> doomikus: greetings
[04:02] <doomikus> using an HP dv6910us with 12.04, closing the lid and suspend and subsequent wake-up causes full screen solid colors that rotate (blue, green, red, etc.).  any ideas?
[04:02] <doomikus> hi cfhowlett
[04:03] <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] <sdfsd> escott: clued in from this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892686
[04:03] <cfhowlett> doomikus: thinking hard about your issue ...
[04:03] <sdfsd> escott: not really sure how this happened, though (:o)
[04:03] <doomikus> chown
[04:04] <escott> sdfsd, sudo chown user:group file
[04:04] <akhilblue> font appears broken, i searched for the issue but havent found any details on the issue. each time i restart a different letter gets affected, like half letter being eaten up
[04:04] <jesus> hai
[04:04] <doomikus> sdfsd, also chgrp
[04:04] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: any idea whats worng?
[04:05] <doomikus> I mention the specific model of the laptop because it's always been flaky with linux.  I used to have the issue where I had to hold down a key to get the boot process to continue
[04:09] <doomikus> cfhowlett, I think it's more with acpi than video
[04:10] <doomikus> and I'm not sure how to manipulate grub2
[04:10] <sdfsd> thanks, escott, doomicus, now time to put this drive back into the nonworking server to test..
[04:10] <doomikus> np, also check out man pages
[04:12] <akhilblue> guys any idea whats wrong with font?
[04:15] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: this occurs on ALL displayed text or only on certain apps?
[04:16] <akhilblue> certain places where we enter the text. and in the login screen. i installed ubuntu tweak and myunity. does it have anything to do with those?
[04:17] <Barami> http://i49.tinypic.com/2j5xt2c.png   -   in this picture, latin characters are displayed sans-serif.. But hangul is displayed sans. It's only apeared on firefox browser..

[04:33] <cfhowlett> jmrog: right.  thanks.
[04:33] <mahir256> how can i configure a lubuntu desktop to connect to the internet (via ethernet) through a windows laptop's wireless? (the two adapters on the laptop are bridged)

[04:36] <mahir256> i was the same guy that asked this question about 4 hours ago
[04:37] <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'
[04:38] <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] <megawattz> i did a wibi installation does it matter
[04:38] <piperpatron> Anyone tell me how to uninstall TOR from linux?
[04:38] <jmrog> megawattz: I've never used wubi, so can't answer that question.
[04:38] <Abhijit> piperpatron, sudo apt-get remove tor
[04:38] <Abhijit> piperpatron, them remove its torbutton for firefox
[04:38] <piperpatron> thanks.  that simple?
[04:38] <piperpatron> thanks.
[04:39] <cfhowlett> megawattz: reminder: wubi is NOT a long-term installation option.  So sayeth the wubi developers.  If you want both windows and Ubuntu, consider dual booting.
[04:39] <megawattz> ok im going to try to do the f6 thing and nomodset jmrog
[04:39] <megawattz> brb
[04:40] <jmrog> nomodeset
[04:40] <megawattz> ok let me try
[04:40] <megawattz> bbr
[04:41] <piperpatron> Nice.  That was easy.  Thanks @ Abhijit
[04:41] <Abhijit> piperpatron, welcome
[04:43] <doomikus> cfhowlett, you still thinking on that?
[04:44] <meggawattz> hey jmrog it wont let me get into f6
[04:45] <superuser> is there a way to hop off the LTS train and upgrade to the newest version
[04:45] <meggawattz> it just shows the ubuntu logo then goes to black screen
[04:45] <doomikus> superuser, iirc - man do-release-upgrade
[04:45] <cfhowlett> doomikus: no bright lights of revelation have come to me.  sorry.  ask in the channel again.
[04:46] <doomikus> using an HP dv6910us with 12.04, closing the lid and suspend and subsequent wake-up causes full screen solid colors that rotate (blue, green, red, etc.).  any ideas?
[04:46] <jmrog> meggawattz: As I don't have any experience with wubi, I doubt I'll be able to help. Maybe someone else in the channel can help you.
[04:46] <mahir256> how can i configure a lubuntu desktop to connect to the internet (via ethernet) through a windows laptop's wireless? (the two adapters on the laptop are bridged)
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <doomikus> listen to Abhijit
[04:51] <Pecker> is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP
[04:52] <Abhijit> Pecker, whats LTSP?
[04:52] <Pecker> !ltsp
[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
[04:53] <Abhijit> Pecker, nice project. i will need this in coming near future. thanks for info.
[04:54] <Yatoth> hi everybody
[04:54] <Pecker> yeah
[04:54] <KillerFu> I need some help.
[04:54] <Pecker> check out ubuntultsp on wiki
[04:54] <bobo37773> Yatoth: Hey
[04:54] <Pecker> helped me get started
[04:54] <Abhijit> ok
[04:54] <Yatoth> how r u bobo
[04:55] <Yatoth> need a help
[04:55] <bobo37773> pretty good.
[04:55] <Pecker> the problem for me though is any cmds run on client that display info show the server info
[04:55] <superuser> then ask
[04:55] <Yatoth> i am having shutdown issues in ubuntu 12.04
[04:55] <bobo37773> Yatoth: What's going on?
[04:55] <Pecker> doesnt surprise me as all the client is is a terminal
[04:55] <bobo37773> oh
[04:55] <Yatoth> some times shutdown freezes
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <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?
[04:57] <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] <doomikus> Abhijit, thanks, too drunk to be serious :D
[04:58] <Yatoth> shutdown issues team!!! please join bobo in helping me
[04:58] <Abhijit> Pecker, okies
[04:58] <Pecker> also
[04:58] <Pecker> clients will need to be hooked up to the LTSP server machine
[04:58] <bobo37773> Yatoth: Are you completely up to date?
[04:58] <Pecker> via ethernet
[04:58] <Yatoth> yes
[04:58] <Abhijit> yeah
[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?
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <Abhijit> Pecker, yes sure
[05:01] <jeffrey> so i can use the ubuntu themes on something like cinnamon?
[05:01] <bobo37773> Yatoth: Have you tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=b11bf1e82ac29da9852a44762686a150&p=11888315&postcount=8
[05:01] <Yatoth> lemme take a look buddy
[05:01] <bobo37773> okay
[05:01] <Abhijit> jeffrey, ask to mint people.
[05:01] <KillerFu> Hey guys I need some help with my audio.
[05:01] <bobo37773> KillerFu: What's the issue? No sound?
[05:02] <KillerFu> I get 2 channels and not 5
[05:02] <KillerFu> er 5.1
[05:02] <KillerFu> I've tried everything.
[05:02] <bobo37773> KillerFu: You tried this already? --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound
[05:03] <jeffrey> how can i customize the sys tray icons and add applets?  or does ubuntu not support that?
[05:03] <Barami> jeffrey, You can use cinamon on ubuntu.
[05:03] <KillerFu> Yep
[05:03] <Abhijit> jeffrey, cinnamon is not yet officially supported by ubuntu. for cinnamon support contact the mint people.
[05:03] <irreverant> Does anyone have experience with black buntu?
[05:04] <bobo37773> irreverant: You are going to get the whole this is not a supported distro blah blah soon. What is your issue?
[05:05] <Abhijit> jeffrey, and remember its in early development stage. you can practically install it in ubuntu but ubuntu do not have official packages for cinnamon.
[05:05] <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] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Did you reboot after making changes?
[05:05] <KillerFu> Yep.
[05:05] <jeffrey> is it possible to customize icons and add feature to the sys tray in ubuntu is what im asking
[05:06] <jeffrey> like the mail, chat app i dont use, i want to get rid of it
[05:06] <Abhijit> yes
[05:06] <Abhijit> just install the icon set of your choice
[05:06] <KillerFu> ; default-sample-format = s16le ; default-sample-rate = 44100  default-sample-channels = 6 ; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
[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
[05:07] <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...
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <Barami> jeffrey, If you use unity on ubuntu, you can extend.. But not javascript..
[05:10] <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] <jeffrey> hide network icon, etc
[05:10] <Barami> you can change icons manually under /user/share
[05:10] <KillerFu> when i do pavumeter just shows 2 channels
[05:11] <jeffrey> well that is pretty broad
[05:11] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: had to quit. back now. any idea what was wrong with the fonts?
[05:11] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Can't you change it in pavucontrol?
[05:11] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Configuration tab
[05:11] <Barami> I know.. but unity using gnome panel and it's not easy to customize as well as gnome-shell or cinnamon..
[05:12] <KillerFu> you mean the sound mixer?
[05:12] <KillerFu> I have no idea where pavucontrol is or how to get there... total linux noobie. :(
[05:12] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Open a shell and type pavucontrol
[05:12] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: missed your response to "does this fault occur on ALL text displayed or only on certain apps?"
[05:13] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Go to the button on the top left to search and search for terminal. That is what I mean by shell
[05:13] <KillerFu> yeah i got that :)
[05:13] <gdbqemu> I don't imagine there are any qemu gurus here, are there?
[05:13] <KillerFu> an nope
[05:13] <KillerFu> still 2 channel
[05:14] <Barami> jeffrey, http://askubuntu.com/questions/138421/how-to-remove-the-mail-im-icon-from-the-notification-area
[05:14] <bobo37773> KillerFu: did you have a program called pavucontrol? The last tab entitled "Configuration" did not have drop down boxes?
[05:15] <KillerFu> It did...but it does not have the option to change audio just turn off the HDMI audio
[05:15] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Oh. So the drop down tab did not have an option for 5.1 ?
[05:15] <KillerFu> Nope. :(
[05:16] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Try alsamixer maybe
[05:17] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: Not on all apps. some aspects like login screens
[05:17] <Yatoth> bobo i hv inserted that line in that file
[05:17] <Yatoth> gotta see if it helps
[05:17] <bobo37773> Yatoth: Okay. Hopefully it does
[05:17] <KillerFu> that shows all active
[05:18] <KillerFu> well after I upped the volume on a couple of the settings.
[05:18] <KillerFu> I really think it has to do with
[05:18] <Yatoth> thank u all
[05:18] <Yatoth> see you later
[05:18] <KillerFu> ; default-sample-format = s16le ; default-sample-rate = 44100  default-sample-channels = 6 ; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
[05:18] <Yatoth> Bye
[05:18] <KillerFu> the channel map
[05:18] <bobo37773> Yatoth: Take care.
[05:18] <KillerFu> being only those 2
[05:19] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: I'd suspect your graphics settings.
[05:19] <arvislacis> How to successfuly upload package to Launchpad PPA?
[05:19] <bobo37773> KillerFu: No clue. In alsamixer if I press F6 and pick my sound card it gives me the option for surround
[05:19] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Other than that I have no idea
[05:20] <KillerFu> see if you read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 he talks about channel map
[05:20] <KillerFu> but I don't know what to use for 5.1
[05:20] <KillerFu> I want to try that last if that doesn't work I will try tomorrow.
[05:20] <KillerFu> Any idea what to put for the channel map then?
[05:21] <bobo37773> That tutorial is from like 4 years ago.
[05:22] <KillerFu> Yeah but everything he says to do is what the official tutorial says.
[05:22] <KillerFu> I am unsure if I change the channel map if I should also take off the semi colon on that line as well?
[05:23] <hith> can anyone help me with f.lux
[05:23] <Luthfi_fs> Hay guys
[05:24] <hith> the preferences menu doesnt appear when i click it
[05:24] <bobo37773> KillerFu: The semicolon means that the line is not read at all. It is invisible. So yeah you would
[05:24] <KillerFu> perfect thank you
[05:24] <bobo37773> no problem
[05:24] <bobo37773> KillerFu: Same thing for --> #
[05:24] <bobo37773> KillerFu: In most programs / scripts
[05:25] <KillerFu> well here goes nothing
[05:25] <KillerFu> restarting
[05:25] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: Got it?
[05:25] <KillerFu> thanks for the help bobo
[05:25] <bobo37773> KillerFu: No problem. Hope it works for you
[05:26] <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
[05:27] <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 ?
[05:28] <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 ?
[05:29] <Luthfi_fs> Amazing
[05:29] <akhilblue> anyway thanks cfhowlett.
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <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
[05:32] <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
[05:33] <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?
[05:34] <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] <arvislacis> devslash, What problem with FTP you have?
[05:35] <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
[05:36] <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
[05:37] <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!
[05:38] <devslash> i did dpkg -l | grep ftp and it returns "ii  ftp                              0.17-25                    classical file transfer client"
[05:38] <Barami> that just client.. not server.
[05:38] <devslash> i know
[05:39] <Barami> ftp server runs on your computer?
[05:39] <devslash> i connect to my server via ssh and sftp
[05:39] <Barami> Ah...
[05:39] <Barami> sftp is supplied by sshd..
[05:40] <bobo37773> devslash: Maybe you have a corresponding configuration file for your ftp server in /etc. Look in there
[05:40] <devslash> i have
[05:40] <devslash> ok
[05:41] <maucat> hello
[05:41] <bobo37773> maucat: Hello
[05:41] <KillerFu> This is driving me nuts.
[05:41] <KillerFu> Bleh!
[05:41] <devslash> what I'm trying to do is configure ftp so i can update wordpress automatically
[05:41] <Abhijit> is there any remastersys alternate for ubuntu? i heard remastersys is dead?
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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?
[05:44] <bobo37773> Abhijit: Well it can pack an iso for you. What are you trying to do?
[05:44] <Abhijit> 'remaster' an existing ubuntu iso
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <bobo37773> Abhijit: Yeah should be fine. Just want to add files to it?
[05:47] <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.
[05:48] <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] <KillerFu> Thats where the change is at....
[05:49] <KillerFu> ok that I can try to fix tomorrow.
[05:50] <arvislacis> How to upload package to Launchpad PPA?
[05:50] <tinman> i got a few questions now that i think about it...
[05:51] <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?
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <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.
[05:54] <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..
[05:55] <Pecker> bdi_: whats exactly happens before crash
[05:56] <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
[05:57] <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.
[05:58] <bobo37773> tinman: I don't run Ubuntu. I have a virtual machine of it. I can take a look if you are really interested
[05:58] <bolu> exit
[05:58] <bolu> exit
[05:58] <bolu> exit
[05:58] <FloodBot1> bolu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:58] <tinman> oh... another question: does any one here have any experiance with intellij
[05:59] <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] <bobo37773> I have .zprofile as I use zsh as my login shell.
[06:00] <bobo37773> Because zsh is awesome
[06:00] <zhouwei> exit
[06:03] <bobo37773> I think .profile may be for your dm maybe. I don't use a dm either so that may be it.
[06:07] <Luthfi_fs> Oy
[06:07] <arvislacis> How to upload package to Launchpad PPA?
[06:11] <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.
[06:12] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, del internet? not sure what this means, but do you know your card?
[06:13] <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> oh sorry my mistake
[06:14] <MantisTobogen> I'm tired and frustrated forgive me
[06:14] <chris_wrx> I have installed a program via the ppa, yet I can't find it on my system.  Shouldn't I see the icon in unity once I have installed the ppa?
[06:14] <MantisTobogen> I might just downgrade 12.04 seems buggy and sucky
[06:15] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, ah dsl it should hook up automatically run these two commands to identify the card. lspci | grep -i wireless lspci | grep Broadcom
[06:15] <brophat> how can i monitor my wireless card to determine why sometimes it runs so slow and sometimes it does ok
[06:15] <Fyodorovna>  lspci | grep -i wireless   then   lspci | grep Broadcom
[06:16] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, ^^^
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows howto fix that corrupt mouse pointer at boot?(after reboot it dissapears)
[06:17] <chris_wrx> I have entered sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin, yet I don't find the application on my system.  Any ideas?
[06:17] <MantisTobogen> My dsl connection doesn't work automatically I have to use a username and password to connect
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, run lspci and look through the list for a network card
[06:19] <MantisTobogen> Fyodorovna neither of the commands provided an output
[06:20] <mhahe> anyone know how to get all your folders and labels from gmail onto thunderbird? I can only see my account and under it is indox and trash
[06:20] <chris_wrx> Fyodorovna, I did follow up with sudo apt-get update.  Do I need to apt-get update ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin?
[06:20] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, your looking for something like this.  Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14)
[06:20] <anan> Hi! been trying to administer my ubuntu server via ssh from my PC using putty, but everytime I try log in using the same username as I would on the server itself I get "access denied", I know the IP works as I can log in using FTP
[06:20] <chris_wrx> Fyodorovna, I guess my question is, so I need to specify the ppa I am updating?
[06:21] <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.
[06:22] <Fyodorovna> chris_wrx, as regular update reads the ppa's as well.
[06:22] <MantisTobogen> I got 00:14.1 Ethernet controller: Marvell technology group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E gigabit either net controller (rev 12), and 03:01.0 Ethernet controller: VIA technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 86)
[06:22] <heroandtn3> @anan: do you allow that user log in via SSH?
[06:22] <killer_> hi....why ubuntu 12.04 takes 40-45 seconds to start
[06:23] <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] <Fyodorovna> install*
[06:24] <anan> @herodandtn3 : How do I check that?
[06:24] <MantisTobogen> wow this is wasting my time
[06:24] <heroandtn3> @anan: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Secure_Shell
[06:24] <Snowie> afternoon all
[06:25] <heroandtn3> The SSH daemon configuration file can be found and edited in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:26] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, Have you looked in additional drivers both of those cards should work, I have never seen 2 though.
[06:26] <arvislacis> Snowie, good afternoon.
[06:26] <heroandtn3> To allow access for some users add this line:
[06:26] <heroandtn3> AllowUsers    user1 user2
[06:26] <MantisTobogen> Fyodorovna I KNOW that they work I even stated that I was connected to the internet while on the installation disc, and it worked fine in 10.04
[06:28] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, and did you have the ethernet plugged in when installing, and have you looked in additional drivers, and relax the help is free here if you are not satisfied, go somewhere else. ;)
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer bug at boot?(after reboot it dissapears)
[06:30] <MantisTobogen> I know the help is free here but I know 100% that it isn't hardware related I stated that in my problem, I'm aware that the help is free and I appreciate it but I do not appreciate people who waste my time intentionally, why are you trying to address hardware issues when I stated that there was none
[06:31] <MantisTobogen> nothing has been touched or moved
[06:32] <Fyodorovna> MantisTobogen, I came in after you stated all of this DUDE.
[06:32] <silare> How do I change settings like the gamma on Ubuntu so that way they match Mac's? I have Mac OS X on here and I like the colours it uses.
[06:33] <MantisTobogen> I stated in my problem that there were no hardware issues Fyodorovna
[06:33] <MantisTobogen> but whatever I think Im just going to downgrade this version of ubuntu seems buggy
[06:34] <arvislacis> silare, Try to install GNOME3 - it has more features on colours...
[06:35] <silare> arvislacis, I'm actually still on GNOME 2 (Natty here). I didn't like Unity or GNOME 3, but what options have I on GNOME 2?
[06:36] <arvislacis> silare, Haven't there options when clicking right mouse button on Desktop...?
[06:36] <Fyodorovna> silare, I would adapt natty will go end of life, and the unsupported gnome 2 will be gone.
[06:38] <anan> @heroandtn3: I changed port, added my user and removed root access as the wiki recommended but now I can't even access it using putty :(
[06:40] <jeffrey> is there a way to disable the media keys on mac keyboard?
[06:40] <Moult> uname -r currently says 2.6.32-41-generic - how do i upgrade my kernel?
[06:40] <silare> Fyodorovna: I know it will be, but I dislike the other two. Still, I'm sure there was some way to do this all back before Unity or GNOME 3 existed.
[06:40] <silare> And that's what I'm more interested in. GNOME 3 and Unity are fine, but I don't enjoy them.
[06:41] <qasaur> Hey guys

[06:54] <bazhang> shaq_, what are those for
[06:54] <shaq_> lotuspsychje, I'm installing Photoshop CS6. But i require gdiplus msxml3 msxm16 vcrun2005 vcrun20008 vrun2010 atmlib for the installer to work from what i've read on the Wine website.
[06:54] <shaq_> bazhang, see above

[06:55] <ac232323> so...did you google for them?  or are you expecting us to do that for you
[06:56] <shaq_> ac232323, All i was told was to download winetricks than run "sh gdiplus msxml3 msxm16 vcrun2005 vcrun20008 vrun2010 atmlib" and doesn't work, I tried the package manager and still no luck :\ Do you think i would have to find and download indiviually?
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> shaq_:does gimp not sattisfy your needs? you could try virtualbox windows and run photoshop from there if you are photoshop hardon
[06:58] <shaq_> lotuspsychje, limted internet download limit. And i don't have genuine windows or a copy.

[07:38] <amanjosan2008> like jpg, mp3,avi by users
[07:38] <voldyman> bazhang, i was looking for something lighter
[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...
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <amanjosan2008> systemtap seems to be complicated.. anything simpler
[07:40] <voldyman> bazhang,anything with expose/scale. gnome is not necessary
[07:40] <mogensf> amanjosan2008: Have you tried git?
[07:41] <Auzy> Well amanjosan2008.. you aren't asking for a basic request.. Why are you monitoring what they copy?
[07:41] <amanjosan2008> mogensf: git is something else
[07:41] <amanjosan2008> yes...
[07:41] <auronandace> voldyman: i haven't seen anything like that outside compiz or kwin except whatever is used in unity2d
[07:41] <treaver> Can someone tell me how to set windows default
[07:41] <amanjosan2008> tracking HARD Disk contents..
[07:42] <timfrost> amanjosan2008: is tripwire (http://www.tripwire.org/) appropriate ?
[07:42] <Auzy> Why though? What are you trying to accomplish.. Why don't you just lock the systems down?
[07:42] <voldyman> danke.
[07:42] <guest-F7GlEP> hi
[07:42] <Auzy> So that, they can only write to /home/THEMSELF?
[07:42] <bazhang> treaver, setting in grub, as I suggested
[07:42] <guest-F7GlEP> can't login with my username
[07:42] <amanjosan2008> seems to be...  let me try...  thnx alot...
[07:42] <treaver> bazhang how do I do that
[07:42] <mogensf> amanjosan2008: Put a Git-Rep on all the data. Then you can see wich files copied in or deleted
[07:42] <bazhang> treaver, have you read the grub2 wiki yet?
[07:43] <amanjosan2008> mogensf:  let me try this.....
[07:43] <Auzy> ZFS/BTRFS snapshotting would be more efficient than Git..
[07:43] <treaver> :/
[07:43] <bazhang> !grub2 | treaver
[07:43] <guest-F7GlEP> !login
[07:43] <mogensf> amanjosan2008: Just an Idea. Ive never tried.
[07:43] <alo21> bazhang: My PC's display appears black after I connected it to a TV
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <amanjosan2008> Auzy:I am the only root...
[07:45] <guest-F7GlEP> bazhang, I can't login to my system , any idea?
[07:45] <guest-F7GlEP> I am using correct password
[07:45] <bazhang> guest-F7GlEP, when did this start
[07:45] <bazhang> !password | guest-F7GlEP
[07:45] <guest-F7GlEP> just now , after shutting down,
[07:46] <guest-F7GlEP> or was it hibernate option
[07:46] <Auzy> Ok.. And you are aware there are laws in some countries regarding monitoring employees right amanjosan2008 ?
[07:46] <guest-F7GlEP> don't know for sure
[07:46] <bazhang> guest-F7GlEP, so read that link above
[07:46] <guest-F7GlEP> but it doesn't give me "incorrect login" message
[07:46] <amanjosan2008> Auzy: yes..  we have the priviledges...
[07:46] <alo21> bazhang: I startup my PC with tv connected and not. I set my display as mirror
[07:47] <guest-F7GlEP> I haven't lost my password
[07:47] <b0rk1983> Anybody around that may be able to answer a question about liveCDs and USB sticks>
[07:47] <guest-F7GlEP> i know its correct.
[07:47] <bazhang> b0rk1983, just ask the channel
[07:47] <b0rk1983> Especially PNY USB sticks 16GB ver?
[07:47] <amanjosan2008> I need something like HIDS..
[07:47] <bazhang> alo21, using xrandr? or how
[07:47] <amanjosan2008> Host intrusion detection system
[07:48] <b0rk1983> bazhang: Im trying to install a linux LiveCD, using Windows and unetbootin-windows-578.exe
[07:48] <alo21> bazhang: what xrandr is?
[07:48] <b0rk1983> Everything says it works, when I try to boot, it says boot is missing
[07:48] <bazhang> !xrandr | alo21
[07:48] <b0rk1983> not the MBR, just the...thing to boot, like to boot linux would be Ubuntu
[07:48] <b0rk1983> Ubuntu isnt there
[07:48] <bazhang> !info arandr | alo21
[07:49] <alo21> bazhang: I used the default programm
[07:49] <bazhang> alo21, what is the default program
[07:49] <b0rk1983> bazhang: so I was like okay, cool perhaps the PROGRAM screwed up, it's windows after all, used Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.0.4.exe
[07:49] <b0rk1983> same thing, figured the ISO was bad, redownloaded, same thing. Tried another distro
[07:49] <b0rk1983> same thing.
[07:50] <bazhang> b0rk1983, perhaps it was a corrupt iso, or a bad "burn", I'd md5 the iso, then "burn" again
[07:50] <Auzy> Thing is amanjosan2008.. File monitors wont help against rootkits, and people who know they are there.. If it were me, I'd dump all the home directories on a central server, and manage that..
[07:50] <b0rk1983> Now, the USB stick refuses to work, and ive got no FKN idea on how to get it to work again
[07:50] <b0rk1983> Windows says "refuses to start"
[07:50] <guest-F7GlEP> !seen ActionParsnip
[07:51] <b0rk1983> I moved ports, it worked when I removed WiFi USB, now it dont... I know this isnt exactly a windows help chan, but im at a loss when it comes to trying to fix USB on this
[07:51] <b0rk1983> Generally id burn a disc
[07:51] <b0rk1983> I dont have one avail
[07:52] <timfrost> Auzy: mogensf: amanjosan2008: tripwire reports that a change has been made (new file, changed file or deleted file) in a monitored part of the filesystem, but doesn't tell you the changed content.  Using git can allow you to see the changes in tracked files, but won't alert unless there is a regular process to take git snapsots and report the changes.
[07:52] <alo21> bazhang: display setting from System Settings
[07:53] <alo21> bazhang: I do not know what is his name
[07:53] <amanjosan2008> Found Systraq...   think this one will help  tripwire is too heavy on resources..
[07:54] <mogensf> Thank you tim
[07:54] <b0rk1983> bazhang: PNY Drivers from google, dont really give me much
[07:54] <mogensf> I would give git a try
[07:54] <alo21> bazhang: should I install xrandr?
[07:55] <bazhang> alo21, did you read the xrandr link?
[07:56] <Fyodorovna> b0rk1983, Have you tried any number of free partitioner's that can be downloaded for windows, or if W7 the onboard partitoner?
[07:56] <alo21> bazhang: what is the problem?
[07:57] <bazhang> alo21, did you read the xrandr link? yes/no
[07:57] <timfrost> amanjosan2008: if you are concerned only with system files that systraq monitors, then that will be good.  The advantage of tripwire is that *you* can control which files are of interest, while systraq appears to have a fixed idea of which files to monitor
[07:57] <alo21> bazhang: not all the webpage
[07:58] <amanjosan2008> i just want a list of files copied to system or deleted at the end of day on the system...
[07:59] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/xrandr.1.html  <--- alo21 please have a read
[08:00] <guest-yerJ0g> didn't know 12.04 is so buggy
[08:00] <bazhang> guest-yerJ0g, so file bug reports
[08:00] <soulstitchmmo> Can anyone show me how to use cpulimit with ffmpeg?
[08:00] <bazhang> !bugs | guest-yerJ0g
[08:01] <guest-yerJ0g> what shall I do until then?
[08:01] <bazhang> soulstitchmmo, to accomplish what exactly, please be clear
[08:01] <soulstitchmmo> limit the amount of cpu that ffmpeg uses :p
[08:01] <guest-yerJ0g> it won't let me login,
[08:02] <bazhang> guest-yerJ0g, so see the lost password link I gave you a moment ago
[08:02] <akhilblue> how to get a backup of all installed apps?
[08:02] <bazhang> akhilblue, to use as a repo for other machines?
[08:02] <timfrost> amanjosan2008: It may be possible to tune tripwire to just report new/deleted files, but I agree that the default process, which does checksums and other comparisons is overkill for your use case
[08:03] <guest-yerJ0g> bazhang, I haven't lost my password, try to understand this , don't assume on your own :)
[08:03] <bazhang> !aptoncd | akhilblue is this what you mean
[08:03] <bazhang> guest-yerJ0g, losing you r password is NOT a bug
[08:03] <akhilblue> bazhang: not exactly. in case i have to reinstall ubuntu later on, it would be easy if i can install everything offline, without the need to download them again
[08:03] <guest-yerJ0g> a few minutes back I solved a graphics problem , and now I face this login problem
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <bazhang> akhilblue, a clone would be the entire system. aptoncd would be a software repo of installed apps
[08:08] <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?
[08:09] <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 ?
[08:10] <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
[08:12] <_Tristan> Hello. I'm using gnome 3. If I make ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel a symlink to /dev/null, will bad things happen?
[08:13] <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
[08:14] <Plutten> During ubuntu 12.04 live cd install i get black screen. tryed nomodeset without any progress. what should i do?
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <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] <_Tristan> soulstitchmmo: a program which will run multiple terminals in one window
[08:18] <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
[08:19] <shaq_> ubottu, how do i connect too winehq????
[08:19] <bazhang> shaq_, /join #winehq
[08:20] <bazhang> !info terminator | soulstitchmmo
[08:21] <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 .
[08:22] <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
[08:24] <himanshu_m786> bazhang : there is an app name ticklt time management. i want to change its icon . how can i do so ?
[08:25] <bazhang> himanshu_m786, the icon resides where? in a menu, in the dash, on a panel, or where
[08:27] <himanshu_m786> bazhang : in the launcher

[09:43] <blackest_knight> hi how can I quickly reduce the number of hard links to a particular file I just one unique copy of each file
[09:45] <juhsis> hi guys i need help on insalling ubuntu, to my super computer :)
[09:48] <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
[09:49] <juhsis> rojina: check if you have gl.h ..
[09:50] <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.
[09:51] <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.
[09:52] <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.
[09:53] <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..
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <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 :)
[09:57] <kai_> Hello!
[09:57] <juhsis> bekks: so you suggest me to use them seperated, right?
[09:57] <bekks> juhsis: Yes.
[09:58] <bekks> software raid0 is one of the most insane ideas I've ever been confronted with, again and again.

[10:01] <etea> hello i am having a problem with libio multiplex. i am using  ubuntu 12.04 I am trying to install janus and i get this error http://pastebin.com/s1rYFTGn any help would be appreciated... thankyou in advance
[10:03] <tonysan> If I install Ubuntu and Windows on 2 different drives, I should just use GRUB and not to worry it will do anything to my Windows one?
[10:04] <T3X> anytime i tried to start dhcp server in ubuntu 12 it says "start: Job failed to start"
[10:04] <anonimus> anyone has the answer why default interface is not working ?
[10:04] <etea> tonysan i always found it better to install nix first then windows
[10:04] <tonysan> etea: yes, I have Windows installed now
[10:05] <etea> cuz if you arent very sure of what you are doing you can mess up your windows mbr ...l master boot record
[10:05] <tonysan> I would like the WIndows still booting if I removed Linux drive
[10:05] <tonysan> therefore I have 2 separate disks...
[10:05] <etea> well now though with the new ubuntu its preety easy i think you can pull it off
[10:05] <etea> with no problem
[10:06] <tonysan> And if things work pretty well, I would deprecate the Windows drive since I will be running Windows in Xen :P
[10:06] <T3X> anytime i tried to start dhcp server in ubuntu 12 it says "start: Job failed to start" anybody knows how to restart it?
[10:07] <can`t-login> anybody familiar with this problem?
[10:07] <etea> T3X im no pro
[10:07] <diverdude> Anybody knows if there is some good console-calculate i can invoke? Like $calc 2+2

[10:27] <iceroot> i want to know which program/command is used when i press fn + f5. i need the call which is done there. how to find out?
[10:27] <bekks> iceroot: fn+f5 is a hardcoded function of your laptop.
[10:27] <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.
[10:28] <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] <iceroot> dr_willis: disable/enable touchpad on this system
[10:29] <iceroot> dr_willis: and i have a nother system where the touchpad is dead and i want to know what is happening when pressing fn+f5 on the other pc to fix the dead one
[10:29] <dr_willis> yep. thats hardcoded.
[10:29] <Tanvir> iceroot, can you help to solve my problem?
[10:29] <Tanvir> Please. :-)
[10:30] <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] <dr_willis> weird..

[10:30] <dr_willis> suspend kills.. ;)
[10:30] <iceroot> Tanvir: connecting to 8.8.8.8?
[10:31] <dr_willis> 8.8.8.8 is Google's  dns server.
[10:31] <iceroot> Tanvir: sounds like a very broken sources.list because 8.8.8.8 is not a repo but a dns server
[10:31] <dr_willis> bbl
[10:31] <anonimus> I had tried to use the detault for chat and selected irc but, its not loging me in, anyone using it?
[10:31] <iceroot> Tanvir: what is the outout of "ifconfig" "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[10:31] <iceroot> !paste | Tanvir
[10:31] <Tanvir> iceroot, aye, I tried Google Public DNS because I had problem to visit some sites, but now I cannot update. I can I go back to previous settings?
[10:32] <Tanvir> Okay, looking
[10:33] <Guest95247> هل انا في مجتمع لينوكس العربي
[10:33] <Tanvir> iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117230/ is for ifconfig
[10:35] <Tanvir> For resolv.conf --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117235/
[10:35] <Tanvir> And for sources --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117236/
[10:35] <Tanvir> Iceroot ^
[10:36] <iceroot> Tanvir: ping -c 4 8.8.8.8
[10:36] <iceroot> Tanvir: and "ping -c 4 google.com"
[10:37] <Tanvir> Iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117239/ <-- Both are here.
[10:39] <iceroot> Tanvir: both looking fine. and the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[10:40] <Tanvir> That's the problem. :-/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117247/
[10:41] <Tanvir> Iceroot ^ (sorry, forgot to ping).
[10:43] <iceroot> Tanvir: hm looking strange
[10:43] <iceroot> any output of "grep 8.8.8.8 /etc/apt/*"?
[10:44] <anonimus> I had tried to use the default interface for chat (now using chatzilla in firefox) and selected irc but, its not loging me in, anyone using it, can anyone here help?
[10:45] <Tanvir> Iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117261/
[10:47] <iceroot> Tanvir: you put the google dns as apt-proxy in your config
[10:47] <iceroot> Tanvir: /etc/apt/apt.conf:Acquire::http::proxy "http://8.8.8.8:8080/";
[10:48] <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.
[10:49] <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
[10:50] <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] <BluesKaj> Hiyas  all
[10:51] <Tanvir> Still the same thing.
[10:51] <Tanvir> iceroot, now it is "Acquire::http::proxy "";"
[10:51] <Tanvir> Did I do that right?
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt mouse icon at boot? (it dissapears with a reboot)
[10:52] <Tanvir> Or do I need to remove the whole line..
[10:53] <iceroot> Tanvir: put # at the start of that line
[10:54] <Tanvir> Did so Iceroot. Still the same thing.
[10:55] <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?
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <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.
[11:00] <Tanvir> Iceroot, any idea?
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <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
[11:04] <T3X> Wtf is wrong with isc-dhcp-server cant start is cant stop it can do nothing about it useless dhcp server
[11:05] <fragged> Hey all, I installed xbuntu 12.04, and managed to nuke my windows XP partition, how do I get it back, and how to I get them to dual boot nicely?
[11:06] <vexus> fragged: does it exist if you open some programm like gpartet?
[11:07] <T3X> is there any support chanel for dhcp?
[11:09] <BluesKaj> fragged:  sudo os-prober ' then run 'sudo update-grub
[11:09] <CoolDude_> anyone from India ?
[11:10] <fragged> vexus, I can see and navigate the partition, BluesKaj that gave me nothing to indicate it'd found a Windows partition
[11:11] <BluesKaj> fragged:  W7 ?
[11:14] <fragged> BluesKaj, no, Windows XP
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <vexus> another way is to repair and manipulate the bootprogramm of windows
[11:16] <salvatore> hi how to install Java in ubuntu 12.04? i am trying this: http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/how-to-install-java-7-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/  but i got some crash error...
[11:16] <salvatore> any help please?
[11:17] <vexus> salvatore: you really need the oracle java jdk oder only the futures of java 7?
[11:17] <sandertje> hi guys, my microphone stopped working after upgrading to 12.04
[11:18] <sandertje> the devices are detected, but no sound gets recorder
[11:18] <salvatore> well i am trying to run MASHUP for music on the cloud and it requires Java
[11:19] <salvatore> actually i do not know what would be the best package choice
[11:21] <vexus> salvatore: every normal ubuntu install comes with openjdk6 it is the freesofteware version of java and jdk most things should work fine with any modifications
[11:21] <silverpower> Any particular reason I'd get garbage on the screen when booting a Ubuntu CD?
[11:22] <silverpower> I'm suspecting nouveau's flaking out again, but...
[11:22] <vexus> salvatore:  and it has the most futures of Java 7
[11:22] <akhilblue> guys about the font problem i was mentioning earlier: http://imagebin.org/222504
[11:22] <akhilblue> the "9" in the long number.
[11:22] <romil> openjdk7 is disponible in ubuntu repositories
[11:24] <salvatore> so why when i try to run this web-app i am asked to install Java(TM)?
[11:25] <salvatore> hi how to install Java in ubuntu 12.04? i am trying this: http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/how-to-install-java-7-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/  but i got some crash error...
[11:25] <vexus> salvatore: maybe it requires oracle java implementation
[11:25] <Orpheon> sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre or something, no?
[11:25] <salvatore> so?
[11:26] <salvatore> what can i do?
[11:26] <romil> salvatore: you install icedtea plugin?
[11:26] <salvatore> no
[11:27] <romil> to run java in navigator he is necessary
[11:27] <viju> for java I had downloaded an offline package from Oracle java site. and then put it in /usr/lib/jvm folder
[11:27] <viju> but I don't remember its url
[11:28] <xro> Hi, what is the best way to transer files between 2 pc? i use ssh (sftp) for the moment...
[11:28] <itamar-RS> oi
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <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] <viju> so this is the reason I can't use online services requiring java, though java is already installed on my system
[11:31] <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] <Orpheon> no idea
[11:31] <viju> I love jdk7
[11:31] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: http://imagebin.org/222504
[11:32] <cfhowlett> Qualia: Mouse and Touchpad Sensitivity Options
[11:32] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: check out the "9" in the image. the letters also disappear the same way.
[11:33] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: sorry.  IDK when I signed out last time.  Not any smarter on this topic now...
[11:34] <sandertje> hi guys, my microphone stopped working after upgrading to 12.04
[11:34] <sandertje> the devices are detected, but no sound gets recorded
[11:35] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: this happens also in the live session.
[11:35] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: misconfigured/failing graphics card?
[11:36] <itamar__> oi
[11:36] <itamar-RS> oi
[11:37] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: i dont have a dedicated graphics card. i have a asus P5GC-MX mother board with intel® 945GC/ICH7 graphics
[11:39] <akhilblue> i got a message saying " internal error: telepathy" something. what does that mean
[11:39] <Qualia> cfhowlett, what I meant was actually probably the synaptics touchpad driver for X
[11:40] <cfhowlett> Qualia: ah.  sorry I can't direct you to a more precise resource than the one I already gave out.
[11:40] <Qualia> but im not sure if that's it, but scrolling while im in this file manager is much much more responsive with my touchpad than any other application
[11:41] <Qualia> ok no worries
[11:42] <heroandtn3> heroandtn3:
[11:43] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: how to reinstall drivers for graphics?
[11:43] <Starn> what does this mean? (ubiquity:4329): gtk-critical **: gtk_widget_draw: assertion '!widget->priv->alloc_needed' failed?
[11:43] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: wait 1
[11:44] <vicium\a> Gonna drive over to the store and get a 1-1500 ~ laptop to run ubuntu on, any reccomendations or tips for what i should avoid and what i should aim for? intel/amd? ati/nvidia? any specific brand hp/dell etc that's rougher when it comes to drivers?
[11:46] <cfhowlett> akhilblue: see  http://askubuntu.com/questions/87090/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-an-intel-hd-graphics
[11:47] <dr_willis> id say go nvida. or intel.  vicium\a . watch out for the dual gpu optimus laptops. take a ubuntu live cd with you
[11:47] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: i dont have HD graphics!
[11:48] <vicium\a> Okay, thanks dr_willis!
[11:48] <vicium\a> live cd, good idea =)
[11:48] <dr_willis> vicium\a:  also laptops that have been out for a while may be less problematic.. and on sale
[11:48] <akhilblue> cfhowlett: any idea what this error could be? i got an internal error saying telepathy-idle
[11:49] <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?
[11:50] <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?
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <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 ....
[11:53] <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
[11:54] <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?
[11:55] <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
[11:56] <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
[11:57] <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?
[11:58] <bekks> dr_willis: It's is the same encryption, but a different protocol :)
[11:59] <dr_willis> so speeds should be close
[11:59] <xro> ok.. i'll do some checks... by and thank you
[11:59] <dr_willis> if encryption Was the bottleneck
[12:00] <BluesKaj> I found NFS to be more reliable/stable than sshfs
[12:01] <tezter> after worrying about my CPU performing very slow with ubuntu, i wonder if i have misconfigured anything. it's a amd phenom II X4 and it looks like only #1 is in use and sometimes #2, but the rest is wasted.
[12:01] <dr_willis> scp has a don't encrypt  option dont it?

[12:02] <Jonii> When program window in Ubuntu 12.04 disappears, how can you get it back?
[12:02] <Jonii> My strongest guess is that it's gone beyond desktop area, due to some weird glitch. Is there any way to get it in the middle of current desktop or anything?
[12:03] <auronandace> Jonii: hold down the super key (windows logo), you'll see shortcuts then
[12:04] <alfatau> hello, i'm a linux newbie. is there a simple way to set a disk partition to be automatically get mounted at boot?
[12:04] <Jonii> super+w brings all open windows, it has empty, non-clickable window-shaped empty space in the middle of that listing, so I'm unsure if the window in question is just gone, unrecoverable, or if there's a way to get it back
[12:05] <auronandace> !fstab | alfatau

[12:33] <gavri> I've installed ubuntu 12.04 on macbook pro 8,2. dual head works, except it's cloned and I'd like different workspaces on the monitors. however, I can't invoke nvidia-settings which is how I used to make this work earlier on my previous laptops. I get "you do not appear to be using the nvidia x" driver
[12:34] <BluesKaj> auronandace:  that could be it ...his question piqued my interest. I've been thinking about doing that for a while.
[12:39] <BluesKaj> gavri:  glxinfo | grep OpenGL , to see which driver is loaded ...you may have to install mesa-utils for the glxinfo command to work

[13:11] <derbie> This suggests that either the HDD is at fault or that the boot sector is corrupt (if i speak correctly)
[13:12] <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....
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> derbie: maybe hd is corrupt on windows
[13:13] <bekks> derbie: so you have 80GB of worthless data? :) reformat it then, and start over, that is faster than fixing stuff.
[13:13] <derbie> not worthless
[13:13] <derbie> important data
[13:13] <derbie> ANd i dont want to buffer it with a 1gb usb from that PC to this one and back
[13:14] <bekks> derbie: Then create a backup. Otherwise that data is worthless.

[13:27] <mapreri> hello guys :) i used unity-2d for a long time... now in some way i made unity works, and i lost a thing: the intellihide of the launcher. with unity-2d i modified com>unity-2d>launcher>hide-mode to "2", but with unity i can't how to do this. have you got any ideas?
[13:28] <BluesKaj> gavri: have you installed fglrx-amdcccle ?  think it might be what you mean by equivalent nvidia-settings
[13:29] <minimec> mapreri: I am not using unity, but I think that 'intellihide'  thing has been removed. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/solve-six-common-gripes-with-ubuntu-12-04
[13:29] <minimec> mapreri: ... but I think there is a patched ppa version which adds it again.
[13:32] <Antaranian> Hi
[13:32] <mapreri> minimec: thx for the explanations
[13:32] <ControllerSYR> hello
[13:32] <minimec> mapreri: no problem
[13:33] <mapreri> minimec: :)
[13:33] <Antaranian> I've connected an external monitor to my notebook with nvidia card, now nvidia detects it, but I can't see it in system settings even after I've restarted x
[13:33] <Antaranian> what can I do to use my second monitor ?
[13:34] <minimec> Antaranian: If you are using the property driver of nvidia, it would probably only show in nvidia-settings.
[13:35] <Antaranian> minimec: it is, but I can't use it as a fully functional monitor
[13:35] <hiren> hello
[13:36] <Antaranian> can't move window to it, can't change backgrount, etc. Just I can see my mouse pointer there when I move cursor to the right
[13:36] <hiren> hi
[13:36] <hiren> i am having problem with microphone
[13:36] <minimec> Antaranian: Hmm.. You have to activate it first and use 'twinview', if you don't want 'cloned mode'
[13:37] <hiren> can any one help
[13:37] <Antaranian> minimec: twinview is clonning current desktop to second monitor, right ?
[13:37] <hiren> hello
[13:37] <hiren> i need expert
[13:37] <hiren> help
[13:37] <minimec> Antaranian: 'twinview' should give you an extended desktop over the two screens.
[13:38] <hiren> hello
[13:38] <hiren> is anyone for help
[13:38] <Antaranian> so I can't setup different workspaces settings for each independently ? minimec ?
[13:39] <raul_> hi
[13:40] <ControllerSYR> hello
[13:40] <minimec> Antaranian: Not really. You cannot switch to workspace 'two' on one screen and keep workspace 'one' on the other. Imho only e17 is able to do that (guess what I am using...).
[13:41] <hiren> hello
[13:41] <minimec> Antaranian: You should be able to use two screens with different resolution. Unity should handle that.

[13:46] <mi3> hey guys I am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit with cairo-dock, I seem to be having a problem of firefox title [which contains the close,maximize,and minimize buttons]disappearing http://imagebin.org/222513 any suggestions ? :D
[13:48] <User_007> Hello! i got a problem with lightdm. After it starts, the login screen appears, but it takes 30 seconds until i can really select other user or type my password. Does anyone have a clue about the problem?
[13:49] <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.
[13:50] <VanKush> User_007: tried to reconfigure lightdm? also, do you have other DM installed?
[13:51] <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] <mi3> Its not KDE.
[13:52] <VanKush> minimec: User_007 is the one with DM issue .)
[13:52] <minimec> mi3: As I said. I would never use KDE either... ;)
[13:52] <User_007> VanKush, i don't use other DM, but i have accidentally installed gdm here, but it is already purged and i already run dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.
[13:52] <BluesKaj> cairo dock is gtk is it not ?
[13:52] <minimec> VanKush: Oh ;)
[13:52] <mi3> ??
[13:52] <User_007> http://paste.debian.net/181069/
[13:52] <BluesKaj> minimec:  have you tried kde lately ?
[13:53] <minimec> User_007: Well... Sudo apt-get install gdm. You will be asked for your default login manager during install. There you choose 'gdm'.
[13:53] <User_007> minimec, but so i will have to use gdm right? if possible i want to fix the problem with lightdm
[13:53] <minimec> BluesKaj: I am pretty sure that kde is a valuable desktop, but I never liked its design. I use e17 WM with gtk applications.
[13:54] <VanKush> User_007: has the gdm install introduced new session profiles to lightdm?
[13:55] <User_007> VanKush, i am not sure, how can i check it?
[13:55] <killer_> boot time in 12.04 is about 40-50sec.....how 2 reduce it??
[13:55] <minimec> User_007: I saw this kind of delay with lightdm on some computers (2-3 sec). It might depend on hardware.
[13:56] <User_007> minimec, i have a 2nd Gen i7
[13:57] <Salman_2> Hi
[13:57] <User_007> minimec, and the delay is about 30 seconds
[13:57] <Salman_2> Me
[13:57] <VanKush> User_007: in logon screen you will have session profiles under the user/pwd fields
[13:57] <minimec> User_007: well CPU should be ok... ;) Do you use the Intel HD4000 GPU? I have a i5 3570k(ivy) and don't have any delay.
[13:58] <Salman_2> Pm! | minimec hi

[13:59] <User_007> VanKush, i don't see anything different here...

[13:59] <User_007> VanKush, not on login screen
[13:59] <User_007> minimec, i alredy tried
[13:59] <Salman_2> Hi pm! killer_

[14:00] <Salman_2> killer_: U about
[14:01] <minimec> User_007: Did you change your wallpaper? I don't know. Maybe lightdm doesn't love some heavy wallpapers...
[14:01] <killer_> hi Salman_2
[14:01] <VanKush> killer_: what abou ram/gpu?
[14:01] <Salman_2> killer_: You how to pm chat
[14:01] <User_007> minimec, the wallpaper is in the same resolution of screen.
[14:02] <Salman_2> Ask me killer u how pm chat
[14:02] <killer_> 2 gb .ram...2ghz
[14:02] <VanKush> minimec: a wallpaper would not bring up a hang of 30 seconds I guess...

[14:03] <Salman_2> Your how to pm chat me killer_
[14:03] <User_007> VanKush, greeter starts -> login screen visible but purple (default) , not able to type password (seems crashed) -> 30 seconds -> it gets my wallpaper and starts running ok.
[14:03] <kaatj> Running into a bit of a snag after upgrading from 10.04 32Bit => 12.04 32Bit. Printer does not work anymore, HUD service not connected and GnomeClassic misses window-decoration

[14:04] <kai__> IM using gnome3 on ubuntu, Much nicer then this unity stuff in my opion
[14:04] <kaatj> kai__, nice for you. Evryone has their own preferences.
[14:04] <kai__> yep

[14:23] <UICTamale> Hi everyone, fresh install of 12.04 64bit on an AMD CPU desktop system with an nVidia 8800 GTS video card, and my resolution is stuck at 640x480 - both before and after I installed the proprietary drivers
[14:24] <meoblast001> hi
[14:24] <meoblast001> my machine keeps complaining /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or not found on startup
[14:24] <meoblast001> but then the machine functions normally afterwards
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  ubuntu uses its own nvidia drivers
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> !nvidia
[14:25] <chroot_> hi, how can i open a blog?
[14:25] <meoblast001> is this something i should just ignore, or is it a sign of a problem?
[14:25] <ThinkT510> chroot_: not a ubuntu support question
[14:25] <ridcully1st_> hello, my openbox config manager does not react on keyboard inputs, could somebody help me with that ( in #lubuntu is no one answering)
[14:25] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: ok, but why can't I select other resolutions?  My monitor supports many, all the way up to 2560x1440
[14:25] <mr_lou> What does it require to be able to play a standard DVD movie? I keep getting "Could not  read from resource" when I try. Been like that for years.
[14:25] <chroot_> ThinkT510: where should i ask this question?
[14:26] <mr_lou> I have all the gstreamer codecs, afaik.
[14:26] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: And during the install, I had my native resolution.
[14:26] <ThinkT510> chroot_: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:26] <chris_d> chroot_, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=start+a+blog
[14:26] <ThinkT510> chris_d: don't use that here
[14:26] <chris_d> bite me
[14:27] <chroot_> chris_d: nice, thanks.
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  yeah, a live session is not always the same as an installation, follow the links ubottu shows you
[14:28] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: I have.. I've also followed all the advice given on askubuntu and the ubuntu forums
[14:28] <UICTamale> MonkeyDust: It seems this problem happens to quite a few people and no one's found a solution.
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  nvidia and mr torvald's are not the best of friends
[14:29] <Salman> Pm! | MonkeyDust hi
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> torvalds*
[14:29] <UICTamale> So I've noticed :)
[14:29] <Salman> :D
[14:29] <UICTamale> none-the-less, I thought I could at least do a manual xrandr modeline addition
[14:29] <UICTamale> but even that failed
[14:29] <Salman> +e
[14:30] <FlowRiser> Hello, does somebody here use lightdm-webkit ?
[14:30] <FlowRiser> i'm a newb, and the documentation doesn't really cover all the things
[14:31]  * 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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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 ?
[14:34] <aaron> I would assume so
[14:34] <FlowRiser> The documentation just says HTML/CSS, and doesn't really help at all
[14:35] <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"
[14:36] <iceroot> !free | kai__
[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
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <FlowRiser> About that javascript, i cannot seem to make sense of the functions from the default theme ...
[14:39] <aaron> Anyone have any experience with Ubuntu for arm?
[14:40] <iceroot> !arm | aaron
[14:40] <User_007> i am back
[14:40] <aaron> @ubottu thanks

[14:42] <dr_willis> no need for @ on irc either.
[14:42] <gucko> hi guys
[14:42] <MagneticDuck> hiah, a little question from a linux newbie
[14:42] <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?
[14:43] <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] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: tab is a key on your keyboard
[14:43] <karl-augustt> please, how can  I install a missing firmware on my ubuntu 10.10, which not permit WlAN connections
[14:43] <MagneticDuck> ah
[14:43] <iceroot> !eol | karl-augustt
[14:43] <escott> MagneticDuck, gedit firstfewletters[TAB]
[14:43] <gucko> I installed Ubuntu server on a hard disk (I can't recall which version but maybe LTS version of 10) and now when I mount it on another Ubuntu server machine I only see the GRUP files! How can I mount the other partitions please?

[14:44] <karl-augustt> ok thanks
[14:44] <MagneticDuck> well, it's a tad hard to view a pdf  in gedit is it not?
[14:44] <MagneticDuck> >.<
[14:44] <dr_willis> !mount| gu
[14:45] <FlowRiser> @gucko, i think you can see the drives by: fdisk -l
[14:45] <dr_willis> gedit is a text editor
[14:45] <MagneticDuck> yes...
[14:45] <MagneticDuck> editing a pdf is a tad difficult eh?
[14:45] <cheako> Hello, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117608/  Nothing in the logs.  This error causes logrotate to sqwak.
[14:45] <gucko> FlowRiser: I am, but when I mount the disk /dev/sdb I only get the GRUP files.
[14:45] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: no
[14:45] <dr_willis> gucko:  see the mount factoid above
[14:46] <iceroot> gucko: sdb is a device
[14:46] <iceroot> gucko: sdb1 is a partition
[14:46] <dr_willis> mount the other partition  gucko
[14:47] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: you can edit pdfs with "inkscape"
[14:47] <gucko> dr_willis: when I mount any other partition I get "you must specify the filesystem type". Could it be LVM or something?
[14:47] <cheako> Ohh, I know why!
[14:47] <iceroot> gucko: you created the partitons so we dont know if it is lvm
[14:47] <cheako> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1007089
[14:48] <gucko> iceroot: I didn't. When I installed ubuntu server on this hd I left the defaults
[14:48] <dr_willis> we dont know gucko.  pastebin   sudo fdisk - l       output
[14:48] <iceroot> gucko: then its not lvm and not raid
[14:48] <iceroot> gucko: sudo fdisk -l   to see the partitions
[14:48] <gucko> ok
[14:50] <gucko> iceroot: dr_willis : http://d.pr/i/SETu
[14:50] <Ubuntu-> hi there
[14:50] <iceroot> gucko: you installed ubuntu on 2 hdds?
[14:51] <excalibr> any idea why this custom launcher doesn't show on unity launcher?
[14:51] <excalibr> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8D3jP0SP
[14:51] <iceroot> gucko: or is each hdd another installation?
[14:51] <gucko> iceroot: I'm on a virtual machine with ubuntu server. I want to mount this on this machine so I can copy the files and then format the hd.
[14:51] <ThinkT510> gucko: uhh, how big is your swap partition?
[14:51] <gucko> iceroot: each is another installation
[14:51] <iceroot> gucko: and the one you want to mount is the 250gb or the 500gb drive?
[14:52] <gucko> iceroot: the first is 20GB (the virtual) and the one I want to mount is the 500gb
[14:52] <iceroot> gucko: the lvm one
[14:52] <gucko> iceroot: so it's lvm
[14:53] <killer_> i have mate desktop installd on one of my machines n dun wanna download it again

[14:56] <User_007> minimec, i already tested, no problem with wallpaper and i already done a dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[14:58] <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?
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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?
[15:03] <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?
[15:05] <jeffrey> anyone know how i can style xfce like ubuntu?
[15:05] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: ps aux | grep $(<your-file-name)  for example to find all processes matching what is in the file
[15:06] <iceroot> MagneticDuck: for more bash-questiions see #bash
[15:06] <minimec> User_007: Did you upgrade  from an older system? Could an old lightdm config file cause the problem??
[15:06] <MagneticDuck> okay
[15:06] <FlowRiser> MagneticDuck: You can assign the output to a variable by using j=$(command); in bash
[15:07] <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

[15:09] <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.
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <FlowRiser> User_007: that is the default ubuntu greeter, maybe it'll work faster
[15:11] <User_007> FlowRiser, it's already  unity-greeter:
[15:12] <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 ?
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <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] <ThinkT510> !text | gucko

[15:17] <FlowRiser> gucko: i was just trying to suggest the shift method; keep pressing shift when ubuntu boots, then select resume, you should have a text output now
[15:17] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  check the /etc/network./interfaces file , see if auto eth0 is listed there
[15:17] <User_007> wait a sec
[15:18] <gucko> I'm getting a fatal error when booting from an external hd

[15:22] <Drknzz> sakax, i dont believe an update would be needed
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> the guy who juwt asked to boot in text mode: you can also alt-tab until the 5 dots are filled (ust tried it)
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> typos
[15:22] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  add the auto eth0 line under auto lo , you'll need root permissions to do so , then save the file , the run sudo dhclient eth0 ...the kernel source driver should be installed , it just might need enabling / loading
[15:22] <sakax> Drknzz - yes i need it - current version does not support hide_hid_files command

[15:23] <inoji> when i install ubuntu alongside windows and restart to boot up my screen tears and i cant continue the process
[15:23] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  add the auto eth0 line under auto lo , in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:23] <Drknzz> sakax, then im pretty sure the installing the build-essentials and kernel-headers packages wouldd suffice to run configure, make, make install

[15:29] <ThinkT510> !upstart | User_007
[15:29] <shaneo> hey guys im trying to install a mono script for now playing support in xchat for last fm. when i run the make command I get the error error CS0006: Metadata file `System.Web' could not be found. anyone know what im missing or how i can fix this ?
[15:29] <phillyj> BluesKaj: maybe the new driver was removed; i will remove the original from blacklist and check again
[15:30] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  lspci | grep -i net
[15:30] <jeffrey> anyone know how to properly set a mac keyboard? the f1-f12 keys dont work properly with shorucuts like alt+f2 (run cmd)
[15:30] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: does the -i make that case insensitive?
[15:31] <phillyj> BluesKaj: ok, not in blacklist but what do you need to know in lspci?
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ThinkT510:  dunno I always thought it meant to grep the installed version
[15:32] <nomike> hi
[15:33] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  something ike this: 00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
[15:33] <nomike> I want to change the wallpaper for the "lightdm" greeter. I already figured out the command: "gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background '/usr/share/poepi/unity-greeter-background.png'"
[15:34] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: i just checked man grep, it does mean ignore case
[15:34] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: yay, i guessed right
[15:35] <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. As I want to execute these commands during the install phase of the Workstation in an installation script, I have no running X11 server
[15:35] <phillyj> BluesKaj: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
[15:35] <nomike> Any Ideas how to get this running?
[15:35] <ThinkT510> User_007: sorry, i'm not familiar with upstart, i just know of the factooid
[15:35] <ThinkT510> factoid
[15:36] <bipul> ThinkT510, factoid?

[15:38] <bcgrown> anybody manage to get the CTV olympic videos to play?  i installed moonlight 3.99 but all i get is a grey square where the video should be.  xubuntu 12.04 64-bit,  firefox 14.0.1
[15:38] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: the olympics uses silverlight? urgh
[15:38] <bcgrown> ThinkT510: yeah,  they did in 2010 too :(
[15:39] <phillyj> BluesKaj: umm, this driver is not stock and so i made some changes to make it work
[15:39] <dr_willis> sounds like drm to me
[15:39] <phillyj> BluesKaj: maybe the settings were erased during the update
[15:39] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: don't you mean 2008, its every 4 years isn't it?
[15:40] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  sudo modprobe r8169
[15:40] <bcgrown> ThinkT510: no I mean 2010.  There are winter olympics too :)
[15:40] <ThinkT510> bcgrown: ah, sorry
[15:40] <bekks> ThinkT510: bcgrown: summer games are every 4y, winter games too. They alterate every 2y.
[15:40] <phillyj> BluesKaj: YES, thank you so much
[15:41] <BluesKaj> phillyj:  working ok ?
[15:41] <phillyj> yes, its working
[15:41] <BluesKaj> ok good :)
[15:42] <bcgrown> doesn't work in chromium either.  lame!
[15:42] <escott> nomike, does it really require an xserver or just a dbus server
[15:42] <dr_willis> now you cant see the ads.. err.. events..
[15:43] <ollie_> Hi, when I try to install ubuntu via usb using the usb creator, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left. This happened with two different usb sticks. What is wrong?
[15:43] <ollie_> Also, the md5 of the iso is okay
[15:44] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | ollie_
[15:45] <escott> ollie_, does the computer you are trying to boot support usb boot?

[15:47] <nomike> dunno but using xvfb works..
[15:47] <nomike> now i just need to put that into my chef recipe
[15:48] <ollie_> Thanks, that appears to be working

[15:54] <PurpleTrouble> Hey, I can print files by opening them and using the ui, but using "lpr filename.pdf" does not work :(
[15:55] <PurpleTrouble> lpr -P LBP-1120 filename.pdf
[15:55] <Salman> Not PDF
[15:55] <Salman> Filename.exe
[15:55] <PurpleTrouble> no, it is a pdf
[15:55] <Salman> Exe
[15:56] <ThinkT510> Salman: stop it
[15:56] <ulkesh> PurpleTrouble: ignore him, he was on last night and got banned for being a nuisance and not following the guidelines...I guess his IP address changed
[15:56] <Salman> Not PDF exe right

[15:59] <mafiaboy> if i have say 10 .deb files which will install a complete software....i dun wanna install it one by one ....but rather i want it to automatically check requirewd .deb files in directory........can i do that
[15:59] <CK> Having trouble installing the standard Ubuntu package via USB - when I attempt to boot I get two lines of text "No child node, aborting..." any ideas?
[15:59] <Salman> Not PDF exe right
[16:00] <bekks> mafiaboy: dpkg -i *.deb
[16:00] <ulkesh> mafiaboy: it's a guess, but if all 10 are in the same folder, could you not do this:  dpkg -i *.deb
[16:01] <zykotick9> bekks: ulkesh - that may, or may not, work.  dpkg might not install in correct order...
[16:02] <mafiaboy> belkks , ulkesh : some packages need to be installed before other......so will it install in correct order
[16:02] <zykotick9> mafiaboy: no. dpkg -i has nothing to get correct order from...
[16:03] <cdehaan> Hello! I've got a VPS installed with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I'm finding that once I add a new user, I can no longer "su" into root, and on top of that the user isn't added to "sudo," so the machine is locked out. How do I add a user to "sudo"?
[16:03] <nomike> ok...I got it working...thx and cu
[16:03] <User_007> Is there any rcconf application for upstart?
[16:03] <User_007> *rcconf-like
[16:03] <zykotick9> User_007: no.
[16:04] <PurpleTrouble> bah, openoffice could not print the pdf :/
[16:05] <User_007> zykotick9, so how do i enable/disable the services on boot?
[16:05] <ulkesh> mafiaboy: this may help, but again not positive (i don't have a good way to test):  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62943
[16:06] <zykotick9> User_007: manually.  see the !upstart notes... 1 way is to rename stuff in /etc/init/
[16:07] <killer_> thnx ulkesh
[16:08] <dr_willis> User_007:  rename the  service.conf to be service.dontrun is one way
[16:09] <PurpleTrouble> OK, it turns out I can print with lp but not with lpr
[16:09] <User_007> thanks dr_willis
[16:09] <SS01> PurpleTrouble: in my experience Wi-Fi printing in Ubuntu is pretty hard, you may want to try USB

[16:11] <j2bv16> Is this the help channel?
[16:11] <ThinkT510> j2bv16: indeed

[16:11] <j2bv16> No clue why

[16:12] <dr_willis> j2bv16: some themems switch them
[16:12] <compdoc> j2bv16, most ppl would kill for that option
[16:12] <bekks> j2bv16: You changed the theme :)
[16:12] <j2bv16> Default theme ambiance

[16:13] <neil_> hi guys
[16:13] <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-+
[16:14] <BluesKaj> er decided
[16:14] <dr_willis> the reason has been   discussed on the forums and blog sites
[16:15] <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> neil_: r?
[16:15] <dr_willis> ;)
[16:15] <neil_> sorry typo...
[16:15] <BluesKaj> dr_willis:  well the reasoning for the "left" however justified is wrongheaded
[16:16] <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?
[16:17] <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] <dr_willis> ;)
[16:17] <SS01> neil_: probably increase ram
[16:17] <neil_> ok...
[16:17] <gigix> neil_, you might need this ppa for your samsung
[16:17] <gigix> https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa/
[16:17] <neil_> what should be the recommended RAM for netbooks running ubuntu
[16:17] <dr_willis> i doubt if you  upgrade a netbook much
[16:17] <j2bv16> gigix: nvidia problems
[16:17] <gigix> neil_, mine is running with 2 Gb
[16:17] <neil_> I am a complete newbie
[16:17] <dr_willis> my nb has 1 gb..
[16:17] <neil_> guys
[16:18] <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] <neil_> ive got samsung n100 with 1.33Ghz with 1GB ram
[16:18] <escott> !nomodeset | ollie_
[16:18] <j2bv16> ulkesh: i have 4gb and my web browsing is slow
[16:18] <ulkesh> j2bv16: ha, then that's not a RAM issue
[16:19] <ollie_> escott: I don't get the screen before that I get on the livecd that allows me to set nomodeset
[16:19] <neil_> sometimes when i am running firefox it will just force quit and youtubeis laggy when on full screen
[16:19] <ThinkT510> neil_: thats flash for you
[16:19] <dr_willis> youtube is youtube.. ;)
[16:19] <escott> ollie_, press shift. alternately boot a livecd and directly edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[16:20] <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] <ulkesh> well, that's flash developers for you...flash itself isn't that bad, just gets a bad rap....though it's dying of course
[16:21] <neil_> lemme try
[16:21] <Kanalplus> Evening fellas!! Just recenty i decided to join linux comunity and installed Ubuntu... started to like it and slowly getting into it. As i changed my job also, they've been asking me to learn Linux KVM and server administration..doh. As i don't have much experienve with linux and especially not with virtual machines and servers i would be more than thankfull if someone could point me in right directions and possibly toss some links where
[16:21] <Kanalplus> to start, etc. TA
[16:21] <ollie_> i spammed the shift key after the grub screen, nothing
[16:21]  * dr_willis thinks it is flash thats bad..  but i  i play flash videos in vlc now
[16:21] <ollie_> or should i do shift on the grub screen?
[16:21] <DarkSim> I'm using 12.04 with Xubuntu-desktop, my output is picking up sounds from the computer, for example. If I talk to someone on Skype, they can hear me listening to music even if I use my Headset
[16:21] <dr_willis> ollie_:  hold shift.. dont tap it
[16:21] <ollie_> ahh, thanks
[16:22] <dr_willis> thats the reason they picked shift
[16:22] <neil_> what would be html5 oin youtube that i can use?
[16:22] <dr_willis> darksim ive seen people ask how to do that .   ;)
[16:23] <dr_willis> youtube.com/html5   seee here
[16:23] <DarkSim> dr_willis: None wants to talk with me since it's too annoying to hear all the shit I do, even if I mute my mic it leaks through
[16:24] <mneptok> DarkSim: no need for profanity
[16:24] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: no need to swear
[16:24] <sun_devil> Anyone know the command to see if I have iptables installed?
[16:24] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  theres some ekype forum  and wiki pages. i dont use it..
[16:24] <DarkSim> Oh sry
[16:24] <dr_willis> sun_devil:  its installed by default
[16:24] <neil_> how to upgrade flash using ubuntu
[16:24] <dr_willis> sudo iptables --list
[16:24] <neil_> :)
[16:24] <mneptok> DarkSim: apology unnecessary. changed behavior says it all. :)
[16:25] <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] <dr_willis> sudo iptables --list      sun_devil
[16:25] <DarkSim> But does anyone have any idea what I should do to fix the audio issue?
[16:26] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i'd fix the update issue before you takle the sound
[16:26] <sun_devil> Thanks
[16:26] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: there may even have been an update that fixes your sound issue
[16:26] <neil_> oooh OK
[16:27] <DarkSim> I think it's something about a package or something that is obsolete or something
[16:27] <neil_> well kinda manually installed it
[16:27] <neil_> that figures
[16:27] <ripps> How does do-release-upgrade determine which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[16:28] <neil_> does compiz do give you error sometimes? like internal error
[16:28] <DarkSim> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1117803/
[16:28] <zykotick9> ripps: "lsb_release -a" probably
[16:29] <sun_devil> I have never been able to print off my Ubuntu to a wireless Kodak, worked with cups and nothing, its a driver issue, Kodak does not offer open-source.
[16:29] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: urgh, i don't use ppas, try removing them
[16:29] <smallfoot-> Go to about:startpage or about:home and search from there. Notice how the search still doesn't use HTTPS!
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <smallfoot-> DarkSim, you can do it from 'software-properties-gtk'
[16:30] <ThinkT510> !itunes | neil_
[16:31] <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 ......
[16:32] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: yeah, my hp printer works out the box
[16:32] <dr_willis> !alis| rourick
[16:33] <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] <ThinkT510> neil_: use whichever you like, i don't use either of them
[16:34] <neil_> which one woul you use @ThinkT510
[16:34] <ThinkT510> neil_: vlc and audacious are all i need
[16:34] <neil_> ok
[16:34] <Brankodo> Hi. I have an SSD with not much space on it. What should I mount on the SSD and what should I keep on my large drive? (still haven't installed anything)
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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?
[16:36] <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. ;)
[16:37] <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... ;)
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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] <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 >_<
[16:41] <dr_willis> hard drives are the weakest link... keep backups....
[16:41] <dr_willis> hasent changed in like... ever   ;)
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <superuser> im useing user defined session btw
[16:45] <sun_devil> Kodak ESP 7 all-in-one
[16:45] <dr_willis> depends in your wm or desktoo superuser
[16:45] <superuser> i havent changed anything from stock so it all should be stock
[16:45] <bekks> sun_devil: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Kodak/Kodak-ESP_7
[16:45] <pkkm> Is it possible to change the keys that pull down menus when pressed together with Alt (like Alt+f to pull down the “File” menu)?
[16:45] <elijah> Hey guys, what is the likelihood 12.04 will get Linux 3.5?
[16:46] <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.

[16:47] <Srinivas> hi friends
[16:47] <Srinivas> I need help on installing Unity-revamped
[16:47] <bekks> Srinivas: Whats that, "ubuntu-revamped"?
[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
[16:48] <dr_willis> superuser: yes
[16:48] <bekks> Srinivas: Then it isnt supported in here, I guess.
[16:48] <DarkSim> ferocious, it didn't work
[16:48] <bazhang> Srinivas, is that a PPA? it's not supported here if so
[16:48] <Srinivas> https://launchpad.net/~ikarosdev/+archive/unity-revamped
[16:48] <Cantide> dr_willis, good point :P I was wondering how SSDs compared to conventional magnetic drives
[16:48] <Cantide> but yeah, i plan on travelling quite a bit soon, so an SSD may suit me well
[16:48] <Srinivas> I don't understand
[16:48] <dr_willis> Cantide:  i dont have any.. yet
[16:48] <bazhang> Srinivas, contact the PPA maintainer, it's not supported here
[16:49] <bazhang> !ppa | Srinivas
[16:49] <Cantide> i plan on getting one in the next few months
[16:49] <killer> i have all .deb files of kde in a folder by using aptoncd .....how do i now install kde without spending too much time resolving dependencies
[16:49] <Cantide> as my current drive is about 5 years old
[16:49] <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] <red-lichtie> I've tried searching but I can't find the right poinrt
[16:49] <Srinivas> Can I atleast know how to downgrade apps on UBuntu
[16:49] <QubitSmuggler> SSDs will give you a speed improvement at around an order of magnitude
[16:50] <bazhang> Srinivas, purge the PPA?
[16:50] <killer> bazhang how do i use it as a repo
[16:50] <WarriorSl> people, my mic only works great with 120% volume, i'm using ubuntu 12.04, how do i persist the 120% configuration?
[16:50] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  its installed by default
[16:50] <DarkSim> It is?
[16:50] <star314> I like to change the permissions of a user by going to Administration -> Users & Groups. But when I click on "Advanced Settings" nothing happens. I guess a popup should appear asking for the password to apply sudo, right?
[16:50] <inbitado34> i'm trying to conecto two ubuntu 12.04 machines 64 bits, from one of them i can see the other, but from the other one can't see this one
[16:50] <QubitSmuggler> so a one minute boot can be closer to 6 second
[16:50] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: unity uses compiz by default
[16:51] <DarkSim> But I can't do these cube shaped 3d desktop things and such?
[16:51] <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] <Srinivas> *forked
[16:51] <Cantide> DarkSim, afaik that's not possible with unity (afaik!)
[16:51] <inbitado34> dr_willis, how to i do the ping tests ?
[16:52] <dr_willis> inbitado34: ping command in a terminal
[16:52] <Cantide> QubitSmuggler, yeah, that's why i'm tempted.
[16:52] <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
[16:52] <Srinivas> *forked
[16:52] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: some compiz plugins will break unity
[16:52] <dr_willis> DarkSim:  forget the lame cube ;)
[16:52] <superuser>  dr_willis  i found  .local   and i found  .config   but i cant seem to find the script im looking for
[16:53] <bazhang> Srinivas, its not supported here. do what you wish. contact the PPA maintainer for help not here
[16:53] <QubitSmuggler> cantide: simce i don't have to pay for it, you should do it
[16:53] <DarkSim> Well I didn't want that specifically, but some of the other things must be nice
[16:53] <Srinivas> Asshole
[16:53] <dr_willis> superuser: its a directory
[16:53] <bazhang> Srinivas, dont use that language here
[16:53] <DarkSim> and I'm using Xubuntu-desktop so it's xfce
[16:53] <superuser> like windows start up dir
[16:53] <Cantide> QubitSmuggler, lol
[16:53] <dr_willis> yes
[16:54] <superuser>  dr_willis  whats it called?
[16:54] <inbitado34> dr_willis, i go ping (my host) i works, but when ping the other machine, doesn't know the host
[16:54] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i've always found compiz rather buggy with xfce, but i hope it works well for you
[16:54] <DarkSim> Well if it is a hassle I'd just better skip it
[16:54] <dr_willis> autosomthing.... rather  obvious when you see it
[16:54] <DarkSim> I hate hassles, especially since I have really poor experience with Linux
[16:54] <superuser>  dr_willis  ill look again then
[16:55] <dr_willis> inbitado34: use its ip number not name
[16:55] <inbitado34> dr_willis, it appears my local host 127.0.1.1
[16:55] <DarkSim> I've played games with more active hours than I've used Linux
[16:55] <inbitado34> dr_willis should i change the localhost number o the other machine ?
[16:55] <dr_willis> !manual | DarkSim
[16:56] <superuser>  dr_willis  dont see it, am i missing something?
[16:56] <DarkSim> Oh wow, these things exist
[16:56] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  localhost is lical machine.. use the  right ip number
[16:56] <DarkSim> Even if Linux have a lot of hiccups everywhere, you are pretty aware of them as a community
[16:56] <dr_willis> !autorun
[16:56] <inbitado34> rd_willis where do i get the ip number?
[16:56] <dr_willis> !autostart

[16:57] <superuser> there we go lol
[16:57] <DarkSim> My biggest issue for now is to fix the audio problem
[16:57] <DarkSim> No idea what to do
[16:57] <dr_willis> that factoid is a little outdated
[16:58] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[16:58] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: i'm not sure what skype uses but since it is not open source i think skype might be the source of your problem (which makes it rather difficult to fix)
[16:58] <superuser>  dr_willis  hey thanks i think i got it
[16:58] <DarkSim> It's not just skype ThinkT510, I checked sound settings
[16:58] <DarkSim> and the output is going haywire all the time
[16:59] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[16:59] <DarkSim> Volume control, ThinkT510. Output, ALSA plug-in [plug-in-container]
[17:00] <ThinkT510> DarkSim: ...
[17:00] <sun_devil> Completed the package installer for printer, and it could not print a test page?
[17:00] <DarkSim> That is output and I have no input
[17:00] <inktvis75> sun_devil, hp printer ?
[17:01] <SkippersBoss> Darksim, pulse will be the troublemaker here
[17:01] <SkippersBoss> remove it and skype should work ok
[17:01] <DarkSim> How do I remove pulse, software centre?
[17:01] <inbitado34> dr_willis i did it from both machines, ping 192.168.2.1  and 2.2  and yes i have respones like 64bytes from 192.168.0.1 ...
[17:02] <dr_willis> every time i see someone try to remove pulse audio.. they break things badly.
[17:02] <inktvis75> skype and pulseaudio can work together without a problem
[17:02] <zykotick9> DarkSim: removing pulse is almost always a BAD idea
[17:03] <DarkSim> So how do I fix the audio issue then?
[17:03] <inktvis75> but you'll need pavucontrol
[17:03] <SkippersBoss> dr_willis, break ??
[17:03] <hwkiller-netbook> What's the audio issue?
[17:03] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  your router has an different ip range?
[17:03] <inktvis75> search for pulseaudio volume control in the software center
[17:03] <DarkSim> People can hear what I do on the computer through my mic
[17:03] <sun_devil> Kodak
[17:03] <dr_willis> SkippersBoss:  more like exploded
[17:03] <SkippersBoss> Problem with pulse is it works on top of alsa
[17:03] <caixa> is there an equalizer?
[17:03] <sun_devil> Kodak ESP 7
[17:04] <inbitado34> i have a crossover cable, and dsl conection in internet, what i want is to share folders betwen the two machines
[17:04] <inktvis75> and than in skype you can select pulse as sound system
[17:04] <dr_willis> thats the idea behind pulse....
[17:04] <hwkiller-netbook> DarkSim, yeha, you'll need pavucontrol and mute the audio sink that is your mic
[17:04] <hwkiller-netbook> audio source*
[17:04] <inbitado34> dr_willis i have a crossover cable, and dsl conection in internet, what i want is to share folders betwen the two machines, most be the same ip?
[17:04] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  id say go get a low end router.
[17:04] <inbitado34> dr_willis, for both machines
[17:04] <DarkSim> The thing is that it seems that pulse is set on all things "speakers, mic, headset"
[17:05] <SkippersBoss> LIsten i have used skype quite often and always have had mic trouble. apu-get remove pulse and suddelnly skype works like a dream
[17:05] <battleumca>  plz help me i have xubuntu 12.04 does not work online through a router to direct all ok, but the router does not see (
[17:05] <sun_devil> Installed C2esp .deb file
[17:05] <inktvis75> with that volume control thing you can fix the microphone -> selecting the right input
[17:05] <gear4> How could I install liblua.so ?
[17:05] <dr_willis> ips are not the same. ypu are doing a fancy  network. with no network  skills.
[17:05] <inbitado34> dr_willis, you mean should i buy a low end router ?
[17:05] <SkippersBoss> DarkSim, it s what you want to do with you machine
[17:06] <SkippersBoss> you can unse the autospawn
[17:06] <DarkSim> inktvis75: Where? in Skype?
[17:06] <dr_willis> inbitado34:  id say go get a low end router.
[17:06] <dr_willis> yes
[17:06] <SkippersBoss> method which you can probably script
[17:06] <inktvis75> DarkSim, first you have to install pavucontrol
[17:07] <inbitado34> dr_willis, sorry i dont't understand that id  you mean i would say ?
[17:07] <inktvis75> (apt-get install pavucontrol)
[17:07] <DarkSim> inktvis75: when I search pavucontrol I just find pulse volume control
[17:07] <inktvis75> DarkSim, that's the right one
[17:07] <DarkSim> inktvis75: I already have that
[17:07] <gear4> How could I install liblua.so ?
[17:07] <inktvis75> and then in skype, sound devices -> select pulseaudio server everywhere
[17:07] <inktvis75> then start pavucontrol
[17:07] <inktvis75> input devices
[17:08] <inktvis75> select the correct port
[17:08] <dr_willis> inbitado34: a router would have your setup going in perhaps 5 min.
[17:08] <dr_willis> or you spend time learning some networkng basi cs
[17:08] <inbitado34> dr_willis, ok tomorow monday i'll get a router - low end -
[17:09] <killer_> how do i add local folder as a repository so i can install packages

[17:10] <killer_> both
[17:10] <inbitado34> dr_willis, both machines will need to have samba installed ?

[17:19] <sun_devil> padhu, what is seek for ppd?
[17:19] <padhu> sun_devil: the last choice is ppd file.

[17:22] <sun_devil> padhu, where is the PPD file?
[17:22] <DarkSim> oh wait

[17:55] <vicium\a> dr_willis : you here? :D
[17:56] <vicium\a> Well I guess anyone can answer this.. So just bought a new laptop (win pre-installed...) I intended to run ubuntu fully on it since but there's no real harm in 'dual-booting' right?
[17:56] <vicium\a> Aslong as i have the HDD space?
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <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?
[17:59] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: 12.04
[17:59] <Lunar_Lander> OK can anyone please consider my question?
[18:00] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, you installed aptitude then?
[18:00] <subz3r0> vicium\a, Yes Ubuntu is able to parition your hdd. i would suggest install win7 first, then install ubuntu.
[18:00] <superuser> why is it when i go to make my panel transparent the items in it are not
[18:00] <seedofc> In recovery mode, how do I tell dpkg to use an installation CD as the source for packages instead of downloading packages via the internet
[18:00] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: omg r u kidding? how could I work in it without installing? ><
[18:01] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, using apt-get. aptitude is not installed by default
[18:01] <vicium\a> subz3r0: Yeah it was already pre-installed with some random software, can I usb-stick install it? it doesnt make a diference?
[18:02] <trism> superuser: 12.04 and gnome classic? if so, bug 966697 (it is a gtk bug, slightly better in 12.10 since colored panels work, but transparent still don't)
[18:02] <bazhang> seedofc, the alternate cd can serve as that
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <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.
[18:04] <trism> superuser: I would just live with it (maybe find a panel theme you like instead) until this is fixed (I suppose you could use 11.10 if it is really important to you)
[18:04] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, please pastebin your sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com
[18:04] <bazhang> seedofc, add it to to the software sources
[18:04] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: what sources?o_O

[18:04] <superuser> trism i cant live with it, it looks awful
[18:05] <seedofc> bazhang: ok, thanks
[18:05] <subz3r0> seedofc, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:05] <bazhang> seedofc, either via package manager synaptic : software sources, or via the command line
[18:05] <seedofc> can I edit soruces.list in recovery mode?
[18:06] <seedofc> seems like I'm limited in what I can do
[18:06] <bazhang> seedofc, sure you can
[18:06] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: what r u tolk about? why u need it? and version of ubuntu. my question is just about aptitude usage
[18:06] <subz3r0> vicium\a, I strongly recommend, that you make "BACKUPS"
[18:06] <seedofc> bazhang: cool, thanks -- I'll give it a shot
[18:06] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, please provide the pastebin
[18:06] <ThinkT510> !aptitude
[18:07] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: also, yes, im working under debian 6.0.
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, so dont ask for support here.
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, #debian for debian support NOT here
[18:08] <sorrymyeng1> bazhang: it is the same for my question %)
[18:08] <vicium\a> subz3r0: Roger that.. :) Is the windows installer worse then usb stick? :p
[18:08] <bazhang> sorrymyeng1, no it's not. stop asking.
[18:08] <subz3r0> vicium\a, no, but that bootloader of windows does not like it when its beein overwritten
[18:09] <ThinkT510> vicium\a: if you can avoid wubi
[18:09] <vicium\a> ok, i only found a 1gb stick dunno where the rest is
[18:09] <vicium\a> maybe that cuts it

[18:14] <Pecker> is there a way to view the CLIENT terminal's system information when its booted via LTSP
[18:25] <ito> im trying to do a command line only install and buid it up for my laptop. is there anyway to install ubuntu without the gui?
[18:25] <bazhang> !minimal | ito
[18:25] <bazhang> ito or the alternate cd
[18:26] <bazhang> !alternate | ito
[18:26] <zykotick9> ito: use mini for a minimal environment to build on... alt gives you full ubuntu with a text installer
[18:27] <ito> did that. i installed it already. im just having trouble with configuring stuff like laptop-mode-tools and other little things and i there could be a way that ubuntu would do all of this stuff automatically
[18:28] <ito> so folloup question: how do i get laptop-mode-tools running properly for suspend hibernate. works on normal install
[18:29] <ito> i installed the command line only install, installed x and awesome window manager and have it all working just fine
[18:29] <zykotick9> ito: does "sudo pm-hibernate" work?
[18:29] <Poindexter_> Ito do you have limited disk space?
[18:29] <ito> will try in sec hold on
[18:29] <zykotick9> ito: awesomewm FTW
[18:30] <ito> sudo pm-hibernate command not found
[18:30] <ito> i installed laptop-mode tools
[18:31] <grety> moved to 12.04 from 10.04, no problems that I've seen. But, I want to know if its safe to reclaim a partition that has an old install of windows that's frankly not been opened in ages.
[18:31] <dr_willis> reclaim meaning?
[18:31] <bazhang> grety, sure. use gparted live cd to do it
[18:31] <zykotick9> ito: pm-utils perhaps?
[18:32] <grety> I want to enlarge the partition that 12.04 is installed on
[18:32] <ito> zykotick9: not found
[18:32] <bazhang> grety, or the ubuntu live cd
[18:32] <zykotick9> ito: sorry.  don't know the ubuntu specifics...
[18:32] <dr_willis> deleteing thw windows install should be fine
[18:33] <Fyodorovna> grety, if you move the front of the ubuntu partition and it has the grub control you may need to reload grub to the mbr to boot.
[18:34] <dr_willis> how big is the hd  	? how is it partioned now
[18:34] <grety> It's been a while since I've dug into the hd, but I know it's 100GB in size
[18:35] <kale> grety: fdisk -l
[18:35] <grety> 12.04 has almost half of the space, but I have zero need for the old Win install
[18:36] <kale> grety: i would recommend a backup. clean the disk, make one large partition and put lvm into it. the you can dynamically resize your partitions. after this, restore the backup.
[18:38] <simplew> i hve run "update-initramfs -u" but i continue not having no /boot/vmlinuz file to be able to boot ubuntu, any help?
[18:39] <superuser> is there a fix for  bug 966697?
[18:40] <dr_willis> the url should mention possible work arounds..

[18:41] <Nikyo> Hi guys, this issue is got me very confused. Can not get Adobe flash plugin 11.2 r202 to work in Firefox 14.0.1 Ubuntu 12.04. Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. It looks like it tries to work. I even went the extreme in wiping the hard drive and starting from scratch. Still not working. :/
[18:41] <superuser> yeah i figured that out, i guess theres not one yet
[18:42] <Shirakawasuna> the environment variable https_proxy is set for me and I don't know why.
[18:42] <dr_willis> ubuntu-restricted-extras pulls in flash?
[18:42] <Shirakawasuna> Does anyone know how to permanently unset it / figure out why it's set?
[18:42] <saustin> For some reason after opening youtube video in chrome, my sound playback in all programs has started to sound like SETI, anyone have any idea why and hwo to fix?
[18:43] <superuser> is it possible to do a chmod "777" on the root fs
 yep
[18:44] <dr_willis> superuser:  if you want to break things... yes
[18:44] <Fyodorovna> Nikyo, have you tried the FF addon flashaid, strange that it does not work though in general.
 On one of my computers, no issue with flash, this computer it's not working..
[18:44] <saustin> I did a pulseaudio --kill then a pulseaudio --start and now sound is gone completely?
[18:44] <superuser> i dont intend to break things i just need to install from source and dont want to have to log in to root
[18:45] <dr_willis> Nikyo:  i use html5 on youtube. or flash replacer extensions to play flash in vlc these days..
[18:45] <ThinkT510> superuser: you shouldn't need to log into root anyway
[18:45] <dr_willis> superuser:  install to your usere home dir then
 I have not, I did try Gnuj flash.. I think that is what it is called.. but a lot of sites want the most "current flash player".. Pandora is one of them
[18:45] <superuser> for to install from source with out sudo comd
[18:46] <superuser> i was un aware i could do that
 Thanks Dr... I'll try that one too.
[18:46] <caixa> audio equalizers are shit in linux, especially with pulse
[18:46] <dr_willis> depends on what you are compileing i imagine
[18:46] <bazhang> caixa, no cursing here
 Thank You to you also.. I'll give that a spin as well..
[18:47] <caixa> bazhang, sry
[18:48] <Fyodorovna> Nikyo, flashaid will install the release or the beta as of whats available as of now.
[18:49] <dr_willis> and flash aid sometimes actually works.. ;)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Nikyo: are you having issues with flash?
 Thank You, I will give that a shot first. I hope you and the Dr. has a good day / night, I'm not new to Linux.. but I am certaining not perfect.. that's for sure.. LOL .. Thanks again. :-)
[18:49] <Nikyo> Out
[18:50] <escott> superuser, installing from source you should be (a) installing with checkinstall (b) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local. If you want / to have 777 permissions I would recommend you install windows 95
[18:50] <saustin> I'm googling for, and cannot find, options to restart sound in 12.04
[18:53] <caixa> why are equalizer so bad in linux?
[18:53] <Soothsayer> I want to replace my existing PHP with one from another package like http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/squeeze/  (I need a more recent version of PHP due to some bugs and severe issues with the one that is in the debian packages). Is it possible to just replace the php and nothing else?
[18:54] <bazhang> caixa, thats not a support question
[18:55] <bazhang> Soothsayer, using debian repos with ubuntu? NO
[18:55] <caixa> bazhang, how can i make the equalizer changes not sound awful?
[18:55] <superuser> my quadcore pc just cant handle win95 its too much escott
[18:56] <Soothsayer> bazhang: ignore the debian source.. but say it was an ubuntu source and i added it to my sources.list, then what would be my next step?
[18:56] <Soothsayer> bazhang: and the repo added has php (the version i need) and some other packages (like mysql, etc which i don't need)
[18:56] <bazhang> Soothsayer, you want a more recent version of PHP? is that the end goal?
[18:57] <Soothsayer> bazhang: yes
[18:58] <bazhang> Soothsayer, what version did you need, what version of ubuntu are you on currently, please
[18:58] <simplew> can anyone tell me if theres a vmlinuz file in   /boot   ?
[18:59] <bazhang> simplew, what are you trying to do exactly
[18:59] <pranavk> i am trying to copy the shares from a shared folder on the network using 'net rpc share migrate shares movies -S 172.16.16.209' . but it results in doing nothing ...what to do ?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> caixa: which have you tried?
[18:59] <simplew> i have installed ubuntu using unsqachfs  but i have no /boot/vmlinuz to allow to boot ubuntu
[18:59] <Soothsayer> bazhang: on 11.10, need php 5.3.10 at least
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> simplew: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1118053/
[19:00] <DJones> simplew: Yes, I have wmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic etc
[19:00] <Soothsayer> or php 5.3.8+
[19:00] <simplew> bazhang: already runned update-initramfs -u
[19:00] <bazhang> simplew, why do that? is this a netbook with a 4G hdd or something?
[19:00] <caixa> ActionParsnip, the pulseaudio one, and a few eq's that were built in the audio app
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: any PPAs?
[19:00] <simplew> bazhang: why you ask why i do this? thats up to me
[19:00] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: that I'm already using? (not for php, but for others, I'm sure i have)
[19:00] <bazhang> simplew, to help you sort the issue.
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i need to do this to have ubuntu in an encrypted LVM with a recent cypher
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i have dont this to have linuxmint and all went fine
[19:01] <simplew> bazhang: i have done this to have linuxmint and all went fine
[19:04] <Soothsayer> Generally if i add an external repo source, does it mean it will upgrade my packages which are common to the remote source with the latest version from there?
[19:04] <bazhang> Soothsayer, for a PPA?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: if the ppa has a newer version it will be installed
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: its all about version numbers :)
[19:05]  * studio studio
[19:05] <dr_willis> i wonder how a ppa differs from a repository..
[19:05] <dr_willis> just a spcific repository isent it?
[19:05] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: so I can't just fetch one package from an external PPA which has multiple packages under it?
[19:06] <zykotick9> Soothsayer: if anything in that PPA is a higher version then in default repo, those other packages will be updated to the ppa version(s)
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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] <fnoyanisi> i am ubuntu using 12.04
[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: ^
[19:10] <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*
[19:11] <dr_willis> i think apt-get is perfered these days
[19:11] <zykotick9> Soothsayer: don't use aptitude with 12.04
[19:12] <dr_willis> can you upgrade a speccific package? ive never tried
[19:12] <caixa> sudo apt-get me a distro
[19:12] <bazhang> !ot | caixa
[19:13] <tux__> hi
[19:14] <Soothsayer> dr_willis:  that's my question.. can I upgrade a specific package only?
[19:14] <Soothsayer> apt-get upgrade php5
[19:14] <dr_willis> try it and see
[19:15] <fnoyanisi> hi, my xfstt keeps craching at X startup... anybody having the same issue? or any suggestions?
[19:15] <fnoyanisi> i am ubuntu using 12.04
[19:15] <livingdaylight> there are kubuntu, xubuntu, and lubuntu versions of the ubuntu-restricted package. Are they not all the same?
[19:15] <dr_willis> i dont recall upgrade taking an argument like that
[19:15] <gnu_lorien> I'm having trouble with ssl certs. 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?
[19:16] <dr_willis> livingdaylight:  they are like 80% the same i think
[19:16] <dr_willis> the default players for the desktops may need different codec packages
[19:16] <dr_willis> fonts and others sould be the same
[19:17] <livingdaylight> dr_willis, I'm on Bodhilinux which uses ubuntu so, just wondering what package to choose
[19:17] <dr_willis> gnome = use ubuntu
[19:21] <ThinkT510> livingdaylight: bodhi isn't supported here
[19:22] <dr_willis> i dont even know what desktop it uses. ;)
[19:22] <ThinkT510> enlightenment
[19:22] <livingdaylight> dr_willis, e17
[19:23] <dr_willis> Ughlightenment.. ;)
[19:23] <zykotick9> dr_willis: ;)
[19:23] <dr_willis> toyed with 'e' several times overe the years..
[19:24] <dr_willis> they always seemed to 'start over'  when it got too stable. ;)
[19:25] <livingdaylight> dr_willis, bodhilinux = enlightenment + ubuntu. Its nice, but a bit quirky for sure.
[19:25] <dr_willis> e=quirky. yep.
[19:26] <soulstitchmmo> Does anyone know where I can get working amd drivers for ubuntu 12.04? I updated my driver, and now I can't set my dual monitors.
[19:26] <msdaisy> Does anyone use a JRE on Ubuntu with any success?  I need it for a webcast but Open JRE isn't working.
[19:26] <dr_willis> !java | msdaisy
[19:26] <sinfuzi0n> What is the command to see device activity? dmsg or something of the sort?
[19:26] <bekks> msdaisy: Oracle/Sun JDK works fine here.
[19:27] <SS01> just a quick question i've had for a while: are /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom the same thing?
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <msdaisy> bekks, did you install it from the oracle website?
[19:28] <bekks> msdaisy: Yes.
[19:28] <sinfuzi0n> zyktick9, Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Havn't played with anything Linux related in a while. Dusting off the cobwebs =]
[19:28] <ThinkT510> !tab | sinfuzi0n
[19:29] <zykotick9> ThinkT510: thanks - mind reader ;)
[19:29] <bekks> msdaisy: http://codingforme.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/installing-oracle-java-jdk-6-or-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/ I followed that howto.
[19:30] <msdaisy> I was just about to ask bekks , thanks :)
[19:30] <dr_willis> lots of guides and scxripts and ppas for oracls java... annoying oracle..
[19:30] <zykotick9> dr_willis: +1
[19:31] <msdaisy> I'm not thrilled to install java for this webcast, but I have no choice.
[19:31] <dr_willis> 'ORACLE" Proof sun should have gpl'd java years ago.. ;)
[19:31] <meldron> Hi everybody, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and since my last update, the unity starter/luncher icons are no longer displayed. Anybody had the same problem?
[19:32] <SS01> meldron: try reinstalling unity?
[19:32] <dr_willis> reinstallyin unity is extreme...'
[19:32] <SS01> hmm..
[19:32] <dr_willis> make a new user - see if it works for them
[19:32] <meldron> SS01: already tried, ubuntu-desktop and unity
[19:32] <SS01> oh
[19:32] <dr_willis> reinstalling will NOT cure user setting problems
[19:33] <meldron> dr_willis: good idea, i will try
[19:33] <dr_willis> seems over half the time its some user setting in their home thet gets messed up.
[19:33] <simplew> how can i reinstall /boot/vmlinuz ?
[19:34] <ThinkT510> simplew: what have you been doing?
[19:35] <meldron> dr_willis: new user, same problem
[19:36] <dr_willis> look at the x logs in that users home. what is your video card also meldron ?
[19:36] <ThinkT510> meldron: tap alt, type in r and press enter
[19:37] <meldron> ThinkT510: hm what does this command do?
[19:37] <simplew> how can i reinstall /boot/vmlinuz ?
[19:37] <dr_willis> r=restart unity
[19:37] <meldron> already tried unity --restart
[19:37] <dr_willis> simplew:  why do you think you needd to?
[19:38] <simplew> dr_willis: because i dont have that file
[19:38] <MrPockets> How hard would it be to chaneg the "Function" key on this laptop running 11.04 to be "CTRL" instead?
[19:38] <dr_willis> simplew:  what did you do to it? its part of your kernel package
[19:38] <meldron> dr_willis: where are the users x log stored?
[19:38] <simplew> dr_willis: what package
[19:39] <dr_willis> meldron:  in their home dir. or /var/logs
[19:39] <dr_willis> simplew:  depends on what kernel you want
[19:39] <dr_willis> !kernel
[19:39] <simplew> dr_willis: tell me the packae name
[19:40] <meldron> dr_willis: and what i'm looking for?
[19:40] <dr_willis> i dont memorize them. and its not ONE package
[19:40] <dr_willis> meldron:  anything mentioning an error.
[19:40] <simplew> dr_willis: its this one linux-headers-3.5.0-6-generic ?
[19:41] <dr_willis> headers are not the kernel
[19:41] <meldron> dr_willis: no (EE) entries
[19:41] <dr_willis> !find vmlinuz
[19:41] <simplew> dr_willis: linux-image-3.5.0-6-generic
[19:41] <simplew> dr_willis: what the command to reinstall a package?
[19:41] <ThinkT510> simplew: kernel 3.5 isn't supported here
[19:42] <simplew> ThinkT510: no one is asking support for a specific kernel
[19:42] <dr_willis> 3.5? what ubutntu are you using simplew
[19:42] <A_a_A> i have a problem i changed the default font settings in ubuntu but the font settings doesnt apply in firefox
[19:42] <simplew> can anyone tell me howto reinstall a package?
[19:42] <dr_willis> ap-get has a reinstall option...
[19:42] <dr_willis> !apt-get | simplew
[19:43] <zykotick9> "sudo apt-get install --reinstall foo"
[19:43]  * zykotick9 thinks reinstalling is a waste of time 90+% of the time in gnu/linux
[19:44] <simplew> dr_willis: i dont see no reisntall option in manual
[19:44] <meldron> dr_willis: there are some errors when I do 'unit --reset', hm
[19:44] <minimec> A_a_A: Firefox has its own font settings in properties
[19:44] <dr_willis> look again simplew
[19:44] <dr_willis> meldron:  if 3d drivers are not working. that can be  an issue
[19:45] <simplew> dr_willis: thnks
[19:46] <A_a_A> minimec:yeah i know that but the font settings from firefox doesnt obey to me :D
[19:46] <PolakoOS> hello people
[19:47] <A_a_A> minemec:i mean if i change the font to anything doesnt apply
[19:47] <PolakoOS> I want to find a progz who can extract a driver for a printer like ndiswrapper (maybee it will works for printer too?)
[19:48] <A_a_A> minimec:i dont have the same problem to google chrome for example
[19:48] <dr_willis> PolakoOS:  dont think ive ever seen that donr
[19:48] <dr_willis> done
[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.
[19:49] <dr_willis> most printer 'drivers' are more about converting the data, or handling special hardware features
[19:49] <meldron> dr_willis: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1074395/unity-error
[19:49] <simplew> dr_willis: update-initramfs -cv -k all    shouldnt recreate /boot/vmlinuz ?
[19:50] <SnapSnap> Sometimes when I set a new desktop wallpaper, it replaces my login screen's  wallpaper as well. Other times it doesn't. Does anyone know the image does this sometimes and not others?
[19:50] <dr_willis> simplew:  i dont mess with kernel files... that command updates the initramds/initrd i imagine... not the kernel file
[19:51] <dr_willis> SnapSnap:  pemissions on the file and its location. perhaps
[19:51] <PolakoOS> thxµ
[19:52]  * dr_willis wonders if /boot/vmlinuz is a link to tthe currently booted kernel.
[19:52] <dr_willis> not on a ubuntu box to check
[19:54] <gvo> dr_willis not on 10.04
[19:54] <trism> dr_willis: /vmlinuz is where the link usually is
[19:54] <gvo> trism and it is a link on 10.04
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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. ;)
[19:59] <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] <meldron> dr_willis: unity tells me my graphic card driver is unknown
[20:00] <gvo> dr willis if I could find a floppy drive, I could verify that.  I still have a 0.12 root floppy around here somewhere.
[20:00] <ThinkT510> meldron: install mesa-utils
[20:01] <meldron> ThinkT510: and now?
[20:01] <gvo> 0.12 boot not root.
[20:02] <brophat> do you think I should tweek my wifi with iwconfig?
[20:02] <morsnowski> Jack_Hackett
[20:03] <minimec> brophat: The network-manager will overwrite your iwconfig settings, I think... So no.
[20:03] <brophat> minimec so the entire thing is on auto?
[20:04] <subz3r0> brophat, why you want to tweak it?
[20:04] <brophat> subz3r8 because it is working like crap
[20:05] <subz3r0> the driver has its resrections. depends on the country where u live
[20:05] <meldron> ThinkT510: just realized a got the xorg-edgers ppa, may be thats the problem
[20:05] <minimec> brophat: Look at /etc/network/interfaces.. I gess yes.
[20:05] <atari314> Hello, does anyone know the installed footprint of Ubuntu-core (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core)?
[20:05] <subz3r0> and you can damage the adapter, if you set txpower too high
[20:05] <ThinkT510> meldron: i can't help you, i don't use ppas
[20:05] <subz3r0> even it wont be good for your testi... :)
[20:06] <subz3r0> you can change the txpower, but remember that you can damage the adapter, or it may not allowed in your country to user a higher txpower
[20:06] <brophat> subz3r0 really the driver does different things depending on what country the person is in?
[20:06] <subz3r0> yes
[20:07] <subz3r0> here it wil stay for 20dbm.  means 100mW
[20:07] <a-smith> hi all
[20:07] <brophat> subz3r0 what about I change the channel maybe i am getting interference?
[20:07] <subz3r0> more is not allowed in my location
[20:07] <a-smith> how can i get openvpn to automatically start on my ubuntu 12.04 install?
[20:08] <subz3r0> brophat, check which channels are used by your neighbours... and use a different channel
[20:08] <subz3r0> brophat, your try to change the place where the router is located
[20:08] <subz3r0> even a bigger antenna could make it too
[20:09] <subz3r0> "or try to change the location of the router"
[20:09] <brophat> subz3r0 can't do that. also my iwconfig returns Tx excessive retries:7  Invalid misc:31  shouldn't they be zero?
[20:10] <subz3r0> txpower should be ~20dbm in normal circumstances
[20:10] <subz3r0> you can check that with iwconfig
[20:10] <minimec> brophat: Is this a b/g/n device? Some drivers can disable the 'n' network. That helped me a lot with a intel wifi device on my laptop.
[20:11] <brophat> my tx power is 27 db
[20:11] <brophat> minimec it is g
[20:11] <subz3r0> very high... you changed something?
[20:11] <brophat> subz3r0 no changed nothing
[20:12] <simplew> i have isntalled ubuntu in a pre-existant encrypted LVM follwoing this howto http://quantumtemple.com/2011/11/25/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-existing-luks-encrypted-lvm-system/   but in the end i dont have a /boot/vmlinuz file to allow booting ubuntu, any help?
[20:12] <subz3r0> which chip is it?
[20:13] <meldron> ThinkT510: this ppa was the problem, thanks for your help
[20:13] <Bercik> hi
[20:13] <ThinkT510> meldron: no worries
[20:14] <SnapSnap> Does anyone know of a program enabling whole-disk encryption on a computer running only 12.04
[20:14] <minimec> brophat: Can you manipulate the Channel bandwith on the firmware of your router?
[20:15] <subz3r0> SnapSnap, dmcrypt (lvm)
[20:15] <PengunCSC> SnapSnap, TrueCrypt
[20:15] <brophat> minimec nah I am at my mothers house can't do anything
[20:15] <subz3r0> PengunCSC, no. you can not crypt the whole disk. not the system-disk
[20:15] <Father_Jack> TrueCrypt rocks
[20:16] <SnapSnap> Father_Jack, TrueCrypt allows whole-disk encryption for Windows, but not Ubuntu
[20:16] <subz3r0> You can not crypt the system parition with truecrypt...
[20:16] <minimec> brophat: Ok. Well that might also help to improve connection quality, just in case you once have access.
[20:16] <PengunCSC> SnapSnap, LVM is good
[20:16] <SnapSnap> I'll check it out. Thanks.
[20:16] <Father_Jack> SnapSnap, it sure does
[20:16] <subz3r0> SnapSnap, you're welcome
[20:16] <Father_Jack> what you recon i use
[20:17] <subz3r0> SnapSnap, that not the truth... like i said. you "can not" encrypt the system parition on ubuntu with truecrypt
[20:17] <subz3r0> Father_Jack, i meant...
[20:18] <Father_Jack> don't know my data disk are tryecrypt encrypted, never tried to encrypt the system disk
[20:19] <alo21> how can i make shortcuts by terminal or by editing file system in ubuntu 12 ?
[20:20] <subz3r0> alo21, what do you mean with shortcuts? Like icons on the desktop to program xyz?
[20:21] <alo21> subz3r0: key shortcuts like <ctrl><system><d>
[20:22] <subz3r0> right top - click ur user - system prefs... keyboard- keybindings
[20:22] <subz3r0> may differ, since i dont use us/eng loca...
[20:22] <SnapSnap> Is LVM terminal-only or is there a GUI?
[20:23] <bluebomber> How can I change which wallpaper is shown on the "lock window" screen? Right now lightdm doesn't show my wallpaper at the login screen, but if I lock the window, my wallpaper is still visible. Can I make it the default Ubuntu wallpaper?
[20:23] <subz3r0> SnapSnap, if you want to encrypt the whole disk, you should use the alternate cd. not the normal live cd
[20:23] <SnapSnap> I'd need to reinstall everything?
[20:24] <alo21> subz3r0:  but i dont want to use graphical, i need to set them via terminal because a program that i'm going to make have to do this
[20:24] <subz3r0> SnapSnap, think so. but im not sure, since i never did that before
[20:24] <SnapSnap> Okay. I know how to do that. I wondered if there was a way to encrypt the whole disk without reinstalling.
[20:25] <A_a_A> can i extend the ext4 partition that the os are installed in it?
[20:25] <subz3r0> A_a_A, yes
[20:25] <A_a_A> subz3ro:how
[20:26] <minimec> A_a_A: sudo apt-get install gparted
[20:26] <subz3r0> minimec was faster :) use gparted =)
[20:26] <A_a_A> yeah i have this :D
[20:27] <subz3r0> A_a_A, but backup your stuff before =) just in case something went wrong =)
[20:28] <brophat> when I do speed test sometimes i get 11 Mb/s sometimes i get 3 Mb/s
[20:28] <brophat> it is all over the road
[20:28] <RootOfTheNull> alo21: Have you seen gconf-editor?
[20:28] <brophat> adn that is true with all my devices
[20:28] <alo21> RootOfTheNull: no.. Can I have a reference link, please?
[20:28] <RootOfTheNull> alo21: I think that might have some command line arguments that let you add keyboard shortcuts.
[20:29] <brophat> so probably it is the router or we have interference here
[20:29] <subz3r0> alo21, check ~/.gconf or ~/.config/dconf
[20:30] <alo21> subz3r0: is there a documentation?
[20:30] <subz3r0> think so. google it =)
[20:31] <subz3r0> http://developer.gnome.org/gconf/
[20:32] <subz3r0> http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-6.html.en
[20:33] <RootOfTheNull> alo21: This might work, too, as part of the gconf-editor package http://jennyandlih.com/gconf-editor-command-line
[20:34] <ThePendulum> Where do you guys keep stand-alone apps?
[20:34] <RootOfTheNull> alo21: Just use that syntax for setting and getting values, and you can use '/apps/metacity/global_keybindings'  for the hive
[20:35] <subz3r0> ThePendulum, depends... /opt /home... etc..
[20:35] <ThePendulum> okay
[20:35] <TopGrL> hi guys!
[20:35] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[20:36] <PengunCSC> alo21, this is the GUI way: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-create-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gnome/
[20:36] <PengunCSC> alo21, but you can find out how to pass the same arguments from the command line
[20:37] <yangfizz> holy fuck
[20:38] <devtekalpha> How can i install ubuntu on a blank drive via online using wifi card? Is it possible even
[20:38] <PengunCSC> alo21, maybe this will help too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194932
[20:38] <bekks> devtekalpha: You dont need a network connection to install Ubuntu, unless you are using the netinstaller.
[20:39] <devtekalpha> How else then? Do i need a dvd
[20:39] <DJones> !install | devtekalpha
[20:39] <devtekalpha> Thanks
[20:39] <inv_> Hello?
[20:40] <PengunCSC> devtekalpha, download the ISO and create aUSB stick - make sure the computer supports booting from USB
[20:40] <inv_> I need help!
[20:40] <pain> hello ppl, have issues with the brightness on battery, not keeping the same brightness after some minutes, any ideas? ASUS UX31E
[20:40] <DJones> devtekalpha: You can create a livecd or live usb, thats probably the most used methods of installation
[20:40] <subz3r0> !ask | inv_
[20:40] <inv_> Could someone please tell me how to switch to the nvidia proprietary drivers from nouveau?
[20:40] <devtekalpha> Its hard to google stuff im on my phone now
[20:40] <inv_> or w/e I'm using by default
[20:40] <PengunCSC> ...
[20:40] <devtekalpha> Usb sounds good. How can i check if my comp supports it?
[20:40] <inv_> I looked on a page on the internet showing something about additional drivers, but I don't have the thing in the corner
[20:41] <subz3r0> devtekalpha, check the bios
[20:41] <inv_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[20:41] <minimec> devtekalpha: ... by creating a ubuntu USb image and starting it ;)
[20:41] <inv_> I don't have this popup, please help!
[20:41] <ThinkT510> inv_: press the windows key and type additional
[20:41] <inv_> yeah
[20:42] <PengunCSC> devtekalpha, check the bottom of the screen when booting up and see if it says: Boot Menu = usually F12
[20:42] <inv_> ThinkT510, all it says is "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
[20:42] <inv_> :(
[20:42] <devtekalpha> Ok. I will access boot menu in a minute. Just backing up files
[20:42] <ThinkT510> inv_: screenshot
[20:43] <devtekalpha> Oh. And is usb boot a feature of a hard disk or motherboard? Im looking to buy a new disk... So ill know what to look for
[20:43] <PengunCSC> devtekalpha, are yu on linux now?

[20:44] <inv_> ThinkT510, *
[20:44] <devtekalpha> Im on my android phone
[20:44] <devtekalpha> My broken pc vista
[20:44] <PengunCSC> devtekalpha, there'a a way to check from a command line tool
[20:44] <inv_> ThinkT510,
[20:44] <inv_> http://i.imgur.com/kHWRF.jpg
[20:45] <ThinkT510> inv_: hmm, thats odd
[20:45] <silverghost> helllooo ppl i installed ubuntu 12.04 overall speed is good but my booting is very slow
[20:45] <inv_> :(
[20:45] <inv_> I need proprietary drivers to put my monitor at the correct resolution (2560x144)
[20:45] <ThinkT510> inv_: lspci | grep -i vga
[20:45] <inv_> 1440*
[20:45] <silverghost> ubunt u12.04 is booting slower than windows 7
[20:46] <inv_> ThinkT510,
[20:46] <inv_> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 104a (rev a1)
[20:46] <silverghost> is there anyway to speed up my booting
[20:46] <ThinkT510> inv_: ah, how new is it?
[20:46] <inv_> It's a GT 610
[20:46] <inv_> Which is actually just a flashed GT 520
[20:46] <inv_> I have the proprietary drivers working in Arch.
[20:46] <PengunCSC> silverghost, try reading this: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/2012/07/27/full-circle-magazine-63-is-available-in-isle-four/
[20:47] <ThinkT510> inv_: are you on 12.04?
[20:47] <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 :(
[20:48] <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] <ThinkT510> inv_: whats stopping you keeping arch?
[20:48] <inv_> Well
[20:48] <silverghost> guys fedora 17 beefy miracle is booting faster than pangolin
[20:48] <dmitri> silverghost are you booting from an external drive? what are your computer specs?
[20:48] <inv_> My wireless card is very new, and so there are only proprietary drivers from Asus
[20:48] <silverghost> dual core e2160
[20:48] <inv_> I compiled these on Arch, however they cause the system to crash very often
[20:49] <inv_> I'm not the only person with the issue
[20:49] <dr_willis> inv_:  could test 12.10
[20:49] <inv_> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1137764
[20:49] <inv_> That's my problem.
[20:49] <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*
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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] <inv_> because with Debian, I can only boot with the current stable squeeze
[20:51] <silverghost> western digital 80 gb hdd
[20:51] <inv_> if I update to sid I get no picture when booting
[20:51] <inv_> and I've tried everything
[20:52] <silverghost> lg dvd drive acer monitor intel mobo
[20:52] <nasoV> hi all
[20:52] <PengunCSC> silverghost, how old is your drive>
[20:52] <silverghost> 2 year old i think so
[20:52] <QuicoX> hola
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <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] <silverghost> i logged back to 2d and uninstalled prop driver
[20:59] <silverghost> boot process is very slow
[21:00] <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". The only tips I see online about removing that reference removing it from a file that doesn't even exist for me. Any tips?
[21:00] <Costeelation> hi guy
[21:00] <PengunCSC> inv_, I am running the proposed version of nVidia on 12.04 with aGForce 210 - no problem
[21:00] <inv_> proposed?
[21:00] <Costeelation> i have a problem... my sound desktop login not reproduce
[21:01] <silverghost> xubuntu lubuntu also was booting very slow
[21:01] <PengunCSC> inv_, I have enabled all sources in the update manager
[21:01] <silverghost> chakra gnu linux was the fastest
[21:01] <inv_> I'll try that then
[21:02] <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] <silverghost> startup apps has no apps
[21:03] <silverghost> please tell me any tweak if u can find
[21:03] <silverghost> boot process is very slow
[21:03] <PengunCSC> Invader, I enabled the Pre-released updates repo
[21:04] <silverghost> since ubuntu 11.04 ubuntu is booting very slow
[21:04] <ThinkT510> silverghost: i think the channel got the message, its slow
[21:04] <PengunCSC> silverghost, I swnt you a link to a PDF that gives you just what you want: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/2012/07/27/full-circle-magazine-63-is-available-in-isle-four/
[21:05] <silverghost> boot process is slow
[21:05] <silverghost> when i am working everything is quite fast
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> silverghost  one more question: does your ubuntu boot slowly?
[21:06] <silverghost> yaaa
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> i missed that part
[21:07] <silverghost> i need some tweaks i cannot affor ssd
[21:08] <MrHashimoto> what can i use to test a hard drive to see if it is good or not?
[21:08] <DaDaDOSPrompt> smartctl
[21:09] <DaDaDOSPrompt> in fact, look up gsmartcontrol
[21:09] <PengunCSC> MrHashimoto, Disk Utility
[21:09] <DaDaDOSPrompt> that's a nice GUI for the tool
[21:09] <silverghost> disk utility can also give u a info abt ur hdd
[21:09] <ThinkT510> !u | silverghost
[21:09] <silverghost> disk utility was dveloped by red hat
[21:10] <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.
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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] <DaDaDOSPrompt> hmm, well, not sure what to tell you
[21:13] <DaDaDOSPrompt> because yeah, I've had terrible luck with AMD drivers on Linux
[21:14] <DaDaDOSPrompt> are both of the monitors tuned to the correct input when you start the machine?
[21:14] <ctrl_> iam using ubuntu 12.04 lts and when iam trying to power on my os t comes with this message:

[21:14] <ctrl_> mountsll:plymouth command failef
[21:14] <ctrl_> failed*
[21:14] <elek> display my system stats in apache*  like uptime, cpu load, mem etc.
[21:15] <soulstitchmmo> So Nvidia is the superior graphics card for Linux?
[21:15] <ctrl_> mountall:plymouth command failed
[21:15] <ctrl_> plymouth*
[21:15] <DaDaDOSPrompt> I wouldn't go that far
[21:15] <DaDaDOSPrompt> for one thing, we haven't exhausted all of the possibilities
[21:15] <DaDaDOSPrompt> so it worked until you updated to 12.06? how'd you do that update?
[21:15] <soulstitchmmo> gotta reboot. Trying the jockey drivers.
[21:16] <subz3r0> soulstitchmmo> So Nvidia is the superior graphics card for Linux? -> yes it isa
[21:16] <glitsj16> elek: there's apachetop you could use for that

[21:16] <andrew___> I tried installing ubuntu using the windows installer but the max partition size it is allowing 30gb.  I need more than this how can I get a larger installation?

[21:18] <MonkeyDust> andrew___  wubi creates space inside windows, don't use wubi, install ubuntu on its onw partition, alongside windows

[21:19] <andrew___> Monkey, thanks for the help. I dont want to lose my windows installation when repartitioning my hard drive.  I tried creating an installation disk for ubuntu but when rebooting my machine will not boot to the disk?
[21:20] <dikim33> Hi, what value should be given to WAITER of "service portmap-wait start WAITER=??"?
[21:22] <cheako> Is there a good canidate for colinux?  I used to install Portable Ubuntu, but I believe that that project has been ignored.
[21:22] <MonkeyDust> andrew___  i guess 30gb is the limit for a wubi installation and iirc, you can't even update/upgrade a wubi installation
[21:23] <NedMan74> acer laptop keeps dying from overheating.. is there somewhere on ubuntu to increase fan speed? or is that a really stupid question?
[21:23] <subz3r0> NedMan74, there are only stupid answers...
[21:23] <NedMan74> ty
[21:24] <subz3r0> NedMan74, r u sure that the fans are "clean"?
[21:24] <NedMan74> i cleaned them recently..
[21:24] <subz3r0> no dust...
[21:24] <Dr_willis_> cheako,  i used andlinux ages ago --> http://www.andlinux.org/
[21:24] <NedMan74> unless there is some minute dust in inaccessible parts of the fan
[21:24] <subz3r0> NedMan74, check lm sensors and fan control
[21:24] <andrew___> MonkeyDust, what I figured, thanks for the help.  Looks like ill take my chances and just install from a disk...
[21:25] <andrew___> The wubi installation was incredibly laggy anyway..
[21:25] <Dr_willis_> Wubi is worth avoiding andrew___  ;)
[21:25] <andrew___> as im finding out..
[21:25] <MonkeyDust> andrew___  you learned the hard way :)
[21:26] <subz3r0> WUbi isnt worth a penny =)

[21:27] <parnisa> what do you expect?
[21:27] <andrew___> Normally the I learned everything...  should have read a little more anyway.  I seem to check in to linux every few years  (ever since red hat and the begginning of it's commercialization)  I think i may have found a good reason to stick with it this time though if I can only get a worthy installation set up right....
[21:27] <NedMan74> lm sensors and fan control doesnt come up in search..
[21:27] <subz3r0> lmsensors, fancontrol
[21:27] <Myrtti> NedMan74: if the hardware is playing nice with Linux, then it should be running the highest speed it's safe to run anyway
[21:28] <NedMan74> Myrtti i thought that was just hoping
[21:28] <subz3r0> NedMan74, lm-sensors, fancontrol
[21:29] <alankila> NedMan74: does the fan speed change at all normally when you use linux?
[21:30] <NedMan74> alan.. it goes up and down depending on usage as normal.. just always seems to overheat
[21:30] <alankila> okay.
[21:32] <andrew___> OK burning the ubuntu image disk now, crossing fingers and looking forward to this.... waiting...

[21:59] <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).
[22:00] <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? ;)
[22:01] <teklord> Dr_Willis: cant find one.  Do your voodoo, duder.
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=625
[22:02] <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.
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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)
[22:05] <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.
[22:06] <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...
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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.
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <AndChat|622356> Hello
[22:12] <kevin> hrrrrrm ok
[22:13] <kevin> of course i dont have one
[22:13] <kevin> bah
[22:14] <Strav`> He! I'm glancing at the design specification for ubuntu task switching (version 0.1, march 2012), and I'm wondering what part of it should we expect in ubuntu 12.10? Anyone has an idea?
[22:15] <exutux> kevin: did you try to add your resolution with xrandr?
[22:16] <AndChat|622356> Is ubuntu good for android app development?
[22:17] <Strav`> Also, something that somehow stunned me: the plan is to remove virtual desktop by default (what's more confused than a user?). Anyways, I was also wondering if there are any task-oriented interface project for unity or if the plan is simply to let the users install the virtual-desktops package.
[22:18] <glitsj16> Strav`: you might check #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 topics
[22:20] <Strav`> glitsj16: you're right. Forgot that one, thanks.
[22:20] <glitsj16> Strav`: no trouble
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> they can now play around and go wild in 12.10 ;)
[22:22] <root____3> hellow everyone
[22:22] <root____3> still a bit confused about how irc works
 hello
 then ignore me^^
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> root____3,  people join 'channels' that are on servers, and the servers are linked into a 'network'
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> guess he knows how to exit. ;)
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> You really should be testing Bots in a differnt channel dude.
[22:24] <kevin> exutux: well, i tried... but it errors when trying to finally set the resolution: Failed to change the screen configuration!
[22:25] <kevin> exutux: or: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
[22:25] <exutux> kevin: did you add the new modeline?
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> kevin,  what sort of monitor are you using? a fancy hdmi lcd?
[22:26] <exutux> kevin: wich commands did you typed?
[22:26] <exutux> kevin: wich resolution you want?
[22:27] <kavurt> how can i add extra space in libreoffice formulas?
[22:28] <AndChat|622356> I have a decent 1080p lg monitor and a 1080p lg tv. Will they  both work in ubuntu in multi monitor mode? They worked fine on vista with nvidia control panel
[22:28] <inv_> guys
[22:28] <inv_> http://i.imgur.com/Z60yE.jpg
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> An HDMI tv basically IS a computer monitor. :)
[22:28] <inv_> the drivers are there twice
[22:28] <inv_> wat do?
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> You may get sound out of the tv by default.. which you may or may not want.
[22:29] <kevin> exutux: yeah, i followed the guide exactly. https://gist.github.com/3202243 .. resolution 1680x1050
[22:29] <AndChat|622356> Yeh but the ones sold as tvs are more blurry with less color accuracy
[22:29] <kevin> Dr_Willis: nothing too special. pretty old over dvi

[22:30] <Kynrek> Hello everyone
[22:31] <exutux> kevin: you need to set output device, like vga or hdmi or so on, please pastebin xrandr output
[22:31] <AndChat|622356> So most 1080p monitors work with ubuntu? Without having to write your own driver or something stupid.
[22:31] <inv_> Dr_Willis, ?
[22:31] <Kynrek> I tried installing Ubuntu using the windows installer and I believe it installed but when I try to boot into Ubuntu I just get a blank screen. I'm thinking my video card is unsuported
[22:31] <Kynrek> I have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 v2 and I am using the HDMI output to go to a samsung display.
[22:32] <inv_> Kynrek,
[22:32] <Kynrek> yes?
[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] <inv_> look for the part that says "quiet"
[22:32] <inv_> oh
[22:32] <inv_> idk
[22:32] <Kynrek> hmm :(
[22:33] <Kynrek> if I download the CD version of ubuntu can I install and keep my windows partition?

[22:34] <the_dudez0r> what e option?
[22:35] <exutux> kevin: oh "deafult" was the your "device name" ....
[22:35] <exutux> default*
[22:35] <kevin> guess so
[22:35] <exutux> kevin: well I don't have any clue then , sorry :(
[22:36] <kevin> im gonna try the livecd thing
[22:37] <Kynrek> inv_ so do I just hold E?
[22:37] <Kynrek> when grub starts?
[22:37] <the_dudez0r> Ubuntu is the greatest operating system ever, I use it everyday in my laboratories, and carry extensive algorithmical programs on top of it with incredible reliability and ease. For that, and much more, the_dudez0r recommends Ubuntu! Cheers.
[22:37] <inv_> Kyngdom,
[22:37] <inv_> Kynrek,
[22:37] <exutux> kevin: are you sure that you're using noveau?
[22:37] <inv_> if you can't get a display, press e and at the end of the line with "quiet" in it, add "nomodeset"
[22:37] <inv_> and press ctrl+x
[22:38] <inv_> see if that works

[23:02] <capleton> what is the log you would look at to figure out why a system froze during the last session?
[23:03] <Blazemore> capleton: Froze completely, not responding to any mouse movement or keyboard status lights?
[23:03] <capleton> i think froze completely
[23:03] <capleton> i can't drop into any other tty
[23:03] <capleton> and ssh sessions doen't work either
[23:04] <manas_b> does num lock button work
[23:04] <capleton> does pressing the power button on a box reset the logs?
[23:04] <bz> capleton: /var/log/{syslog,dmesg,kern.log}
[23:04] <capleton> i didn't check manas_b
[23:05] <moe2449> bekks : That didn't make much sense for me. Can you explain what the nonempty mount option is? And how I can avoid it?
[23:05] <escott> !reisub | capleton
[23:05] <manas_b> i think it means that the folder that you are trying to mount a filesystem on is not empty. the folder has things in it
[23:05] <escott> capleton, if you don't sync its unlikely any messages will be flushed to disk
[23:05] <Ademan> Anyone know if there's an "official" or reliable PPA for openscad with 12.04 packages?
[23:10] <bz> why oh why did i reisub myself just now
[23:11] <Blazemore> Same reason I deleted my entire home directory yesterday
[23:11] <Blazemore> Derpitude

[23:11] <PMantis> Hello, I swapped motherboards in my computer and I have no sound now. Can't seem to get it going again. Best approach?
[23:12] <kevin___> hrrrm ok sooo
[23:12] <Blazemore> bz I was making a directory in Python, and I tried to make "~/foo" but Python doesn't understand ~ so it literally made a folder called ~
[23:13] <Blazemore> I quit out of Python to delete it and went "rm -rfv ~"
[23:13] <Father_Jack> PMantis, lspci|grep -i audio
[23:13] <bz> Blazemore: -rfv, eh?
[23:13] <Blazemore> Actually no. I didn't put in the -v
[23:13] <ghostchick> Blazemore:  an ext4 partition ?
[23:13] <Blazemore> Which is why I didn't notice straight away: I thought, "this is taking a long time"
[23:13] <kevin___> Dr_Willis: so i am now on the live cd. it has this outputs: https://gist.github.com/3202470 but there is no xorg.conf file ... any ideas?
[23:14] <Blazemore> ghostchick: Yeah it's no problem, everything of mine is in Dropbox so I just restored it. But I had to dig around for a backup of my .ssh folder (found one in the end)
[23:14] <ghostchick> Blazemore:  ; ) , was going into save ryan mode
[23:15] <PMantis> Father_Jack: Funny, I was working on pastebining that. :)    http://pastebin.com/Ty1cQvUN
[23:15] <bz> Blazemore: alias rm="rm -i"
[23:15] <Blazemore> It's fine. I always have a backup. I use Deja Dup which isn't perfect but at least it backs up my home folder to a remote location
[23:15] <Blazemore> bz that would get on my nerves so much I'd end up using \rm all the time, and be back to square 1
[23:16] <ghostchick> Blazemore: backups what  is that ?
[23:16] <ghostchick> (sorry for trolling , i m helping though )
[23:16] <bz> hm, this could actually be an instance of gui superiority
[23:16] <Blazemore> bz yeah but I need to actually *do* things, I'm sort of a sysadmin
[23:16] <Father_Jack> PMantis, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[23:17] <Father_Jack> that should work for you
[23:18] <bz> Blazemore: what about the "touch -- -i" trick?
[23:18] <bz> well no, that only safeguards against wildcard expansion
[23:18] <kevin___> hrrrm... gonna try something
[23:19] <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.
[23:19] <PMantis> Father_Jack: I've dug into alsamixer, different speakers, etc. What I find interesting, is that INTEL modules are loaded, and aplay sees an intel card, but I clearly have an NVIDIA autio chipset.
[23:19] <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

[23:21] <Father_Jack> yes i know but i don't have that card so i can't test it but that article has helped people with that HW
[23:21] <Randomuser894739> Hello! 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
[23:22] <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...

[23:23] <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?
[23:25] <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?
[23:26] <meelu> bc: i can't google
[23:26] <meelu> command line interface
[23:27] <meelu> my laptop fkd me over
[23:27] <meelu> netbook
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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?
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <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] <Randomuser894739> l, as in L
[23:32] <Randomuser894739> just small, not the capitalized one.
[23:32] <meelu> thanks
[23:32] <meelu> bbbbbyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
[23:32] <Randomuser894739> ghostchick, in what way? It just won't remember the setting. Is there a specific setting for it in xorg.conf?

[23:32] <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
[23:34] <Randomuser894739> ghostchick ?
[23:34] <escott> Guest41926, windows does not understand lvm
[23:35] <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?
[23:36] <escott> Guest41926, if raid/lvm is a requirement you might run windows as a virtualized guest inside linux
