[00:00] its not /root its just '/' which is called 'root' ;) [00:00] Dr_Willis, my boot is in / [00:00] so you got sda7 chrooted. [00:00] yes [00:00] cd to it and see whats in boot/grub [00:00] pastebin the grub.cfg if its there. and check the date on the file. it should be just newly made [00:02] uhg Dr_Willis (and all). still having this stupid problem with x resolution. in livecd, i have the highest resolution available for my monitor (1680x1050).. but for some reason my actual ubuntu installation doesn't go above 1280x768. using nouveau drivers... but i just noticed in my xorg log that i have this line: [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" .. thoughts? [00:02] kevin___, the nvidia driver blacklisted the nouveau driver when it got installed.. and never unblacklisted them.. so its in fact using the vga/framebuffer drivers or somthing. [00:02] is my guess... [00:02] !blacklist [00:02] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:03] check the blacklist files ;) [00:03] oooooh [00:03] at least that makes sence to me. :) [00:03] i could be totally wrong.. [00:03] Is there a dedicated channel to FGLRX issues? [00:04] guys i wanna do interview of a candidate over web and i want to see him code live in the browser? what options do i have? any vim plugins to share vim screen? [00:04] or web plguins [00:05] reuf: screen, tmux [00:05] Dr_Willis: ah, i see an "nvidia-current_hybrid.conf" that has "This file was installed by nvidia-current" and blacklists nouveau and lbm-nouveau... looks like it wasn't removed when i removed the pkg. i'll remove that file and reboot and see what happens [00:05] kevin___, the PURGE option might have remioved it. :) [00:06] reuf: oh wait what, in the browser? how would that work? [00:06] code live? You want to check his typing speeds? :) [00:06] reuf, ssh and screen :) [00:06] reuf, I use G+ with video chat. Can share screen with a simple plugin [00:07] Easily switch over to webcam, cross-sharing. [00:08] Dr_Willis: yep.. that did it :) thanks so much [00:08] kevin_, the logs are logg-o-riffic [00:08] i want to check how he codes [00:08] on google interviews they give you some sort of web-based pad where you can type [00:08] and the interviwer can see what you code [00:09] i want the same [00:09] reuf, can do that on G+ if you have an email account with google's gmail. [00:09] i have all google services [00:10] Then it's available to you. Fire up a chat, click the video icon, install plugin and you and he can both share webcam, screen or an image using the browser (live) while talking or typing. [00:10] By sharing the screen, he can type in to that screen and you will recieve it, live. [00:12] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/FbyH7zHt check it out please [00:13] So thanks to Ghostchick, Ive found out my problems installing Ubuntu are related to having an Ivy Bridge CPU, what can I do? [00:14] xplo, its not seeing/generating any entries for the Linux instsalls it seems. === shaneo_ is now known as shaneo [00:15] are ssd's auto optimized upon instalation of the latest ubuntu? [00:15] ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy ### [00:15] ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy ### [00:15] Dr_Willis, Yes I see that, What can I do? [00:16] No idea xplo i dont know what all you have done or your situation. but ghat grub.cfg is only showing 2 memtest entries.. and a windows entry. [00:16] How can I install older versions of Eclipse? [00:17] Yes and When I do update-grub every goes fine but doesn't update my grub.cfg [00:18] Anyone have any idea about trying to get the install to complete on my computer? Running an Intel i5 3550 Ivy Bridge [00:18] Dr_Willis, I didn't do anything I just update from the command line the new kernel version and works fine until I boot my computer [00:19] KT, downloading a daily iso of 12.04 might help if they upgraded the kernel [00:19] KT, are you installing 12.04 LTS? and graphic or alternate installer? [00:19] Hi guys I updated my kernel via command line and when I restarted I could not see any kernel entry in my menu list. I have been trying everything from a Live CD with chroot and I did update-grub and nothing happened. It doesn't show anything in my grub after reboot. Any ideas? [00:20] I'm just using the standard install in 64 bit [00:21] It is the 12.04 LTS, for 64 bit === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 [00:22] xplo, it was showing 2 memtest entries and a windows entry from the grub.cfg that i saw. [00:23] xplo, you could chroot in and try installing some other kernels.. other then that im not sure what else to do. [00:23] KT, I'm going to private message you a link to a forum with a post that contains a solution to which I have used many times. [00:25] Dr_Willis, good option I will try it. Thnx [00:29] The SuperGrub disc has allowed me to boot into partitions for which there is no longer a grub entry... dated, but still works... then run sudo update-grub to fix it... [00:30] 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 [00:30] 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? [00:31] I want a girlfriend that runs ubuntu [00:31] how to edit the taskbar (make transparent) in gnome shell; ubuntu 12.04 [00:31] devtekalpha: it's surprisingly easy to convert them [00:31] ;) [00:32] jazzkovsky: use a transparent theme for the shell( easiest solution) [00:33] Dr_Willis, ghostchick help me, I tried reinstall grub and works like a charm [00:33] Dr_Willis, ghostchick thanks both of you [00:33] hi === gameid is now known as Gameid [00:37] thx, ghostchick. I also would like to make the taskbar fade out, so I don't see it after few seconds. In lucid I was able to edit the taskbar with a right click, but in pangolin I can't figure out how to edit the gnome taskbar [00:39] how can I see a list of all the packages installed in my sistem along with their version numbers? [00:39] dpkg -l [00:40] ,/system/sistem [00:40] y. [00:40] :) [00:44] how do you add a custom script to the things that come up using tab-autcocomplete? [00:45] lets say i made foo.bar [00:45] and i want to be able to run it by doing 'foobar' instead of ./foo.bar [00:45] is there any way to do that? [00:45] alias? [00:46] i don't know alias, what is it? [00:47] hey, i'm trying to sudo apt-get-repository ppa:voria/ppa [00:47] and i'm getting an SSL certificate error [00:48] "subject name does not match target host name" [00:48] which i assume means it's not a trustworthy source [00:48] but this is the only way I know of to install samsung-tools [00:48] does anyone know an alternate way i could install this? [00:49] Can nobody help me or point me out in the right direction regarding channels according to my FGLRX scale option woes? I've seen others with the problem, just no solutions. [00:51] I'm trying to set up a computer to auto connect to a box.net account on start up I have successfully connected to it using the command: "mount -t davfs http://www.box.net/dav /media/box.net" it then prompts for a username and password, I then connect and it doesn't supply me with write permission though, it is put under root control. Does anyone know how to change the permissions and how to write a script to get this to run on start [00:51] up? [00:51] MantisTobogen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:51] hello [00:51] I'm trying to set up a computer to auto connect to a box.net account on start up I have successfully connected to it using the command: "mount -t davfs http://www.box.net/dav /media/box.net" [00:51] it then prompts for a username and password, I then connect and it doesn't supply me with write permission though, it is put under root control. Does anyone know how to change the permissions and how to write a script to get this to run on start up? [00:52] I have a question, i have two hard drives in my pc, one has windows installed on it, the second hard drive is brand new, if i install ubuntu on that second drive, do you see any issues from this ? I plan to just change the boot menu to the hard drive of the OS i wish to use. [00:53] nonickmick, thats fine, but just ask to install grub to the head of the 2nd drive [00:54] nonickmick, eg, is /dev/sdb is the 2nd drive, tell grub to install to /dev/sdb [00:54] jagginess: would i need to install grub on second drive? [00:54] nonickmick, main issue i see is you will still have a hard drive with windows on it. thats unfortunate because you will still be affected by bug #1 [00:54] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [00:54] nonickmick, if you dont want to boot from the first drive.. [00:54] nonickmick, i mean there's two stages [00:54] escott: school requires CS5 [00:54] nonickmick, grub's stage1 occurs after the bios.. [00:55] MantisTobogen, i've got a working config for box.net somewhere [00:55] nonickmick, if you rather use the "bios" harddrive boot menu (check your motherboard manual), it's possible to choose the 2nd drive directly [00:55] "I plan to just change the boot menu to the hard drive of the OS i wish to use." << do you mean to use the bios menu or do you want grub on the first harddrive? [00:56] jagginess: Yeah, my plan was to go into bios and change the boot menu manually to drive one and two, without grub [00:56] MantisTobogen, in ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf you want "secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets # user config file only" [00:56] nonickmick, there'll always be a chance you may do manual intervention if you choose to install grub on the first harddrive .. so there's more issues in this scenario [00:56] MantisTobogen, also have use_locks 0 [00:56] jagginess: i dont follow your last response [00:57] nonickmick, (installing grub to drive1 , may force you to do manual intervention-- but there would be less worry if you install grub's stage1 to the 2nd drive) [00:57] MantisTobogen, then ~/.davfs2/secrets contains /media/box.net PASSWORD and is chmod 600 [00:57] nonickmick, what i mean is that windows may not boot, and you would have to do "manual" intervention to get it to boot again-- (Windows can boot from the grub menu too) [00:58] jagginess: even if i only install ubuntu to the second drive? [00:58] nonickmick, (but Windows' stage1 may get broken) [00:58] nonickmick, no not if you do grub's stage1 to the 2nd drive.. there's not this worry [00:59] ok I will check it out escott give me a second [00:59] jagginess: awesome that's what I'll do, how can i ensure my second drive is actually sdb ? [00:59] MantisTobogen, then in your /etc/davfs2 config file you want to specify to use user config settings. I remember that box.net doesn't store timestamps (which made rsync interesting). finally put an entry in /etc/fstab for the mountpoint /media/box.net, but don't make it automounted (so its 0 0) at the end of the line. [00:59] MantisTobogen, if all that is configured properly then you as a normal user can "mount /media/box.net" and it will use the config out of ~/.davfs2 [01:00] nonickmick, well it may change the /dev/sda or /dev/sdb lettering if you have an external ahci drive.. but you'll know when you do manual partitioning on the installer -- it'll say what is what for /dev/sda or /dev/sdb [01:00] jagginess: thanks, and, should i download 32bit or 64 ? [01:01] capleton, the current directory is not part of the normal path for 'security' reasons. If you kept your binaries in ~/bin/ or added the current directory to your path. they would tab complete. [01:01] escott can you provide a step by step guide I'm doing this for a friend it has been a long time since I have had to mess around with ubuntu, I do know the gedit command and how to navigate through the file system but that is about it [01:01] escott if that is too much to ask I appologize [01:01] nonickmick, back up your data first [01:02] MantisTobogen, i thought i just did :). perhaps a blog format is more useful http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2011/12/08/mount-box-net-on-ubuntu-linux-via-webdav/ [01:03] escott you did but I found it confusing maybe I'm just dumb :) [01:04] MantisTobogen, basically there are a couple ways this can be done. the link in that blog uses a "uid,gid" argument to the mount command to override the fact that when root mounts it will take ownership of the files [01:06] so I use the command emacs -q -nw /etc/davfs2/secrets [01:06] MantisTobogen, if you do it that way the users password to the box account is being put in /etc, and i dont like that [01:07] MantisTobogen, but if you want that need to gksudo emacs ... [01:07] well security isn't a huge issue for me as it is just going to be used for family photos by my old man [01:08] but then again security is always nice how would you do it? [01:08] MantisTobogen, its not really a security thing. it just seems awkward to have a users password in /etc. why is root managing the users password [01:08] what is the better way then? [01:08] MantisTobogen, there is an option in the davfs2 config file in /etc to enable user specific davfs configs in ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf [01:09] Is Acer good to run linux? Please suggest [01:09] MantisTobogen, then the user specific config can point to a user specific "secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets" file [01:10] I opened davfs2.conf in etc [01:10] !hcl | jiltdil [01:10] jiltdil: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:10] I fixed the AMD Underscanning issue on my monitor, that got reset on each reboot. Since nobody could help me, I assume nobody knows this, although I know it is a common problem. I found the solution on the Ubuntu help pages. The solution is as follows: "sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0" . If you do this, the overscan values will be saved. Thank you and goodbye.

Yet when I installed it I saw the installer put it into /usr/bin/. And in addition to that, bash finds it when I type in truec... and hit the tab key [02:24] capleton: xbmc is in the repos you know.... [02:25] ActionParsnip: lol, no i know. That's the username :P [02:25] capleton: i see [02:25] chris_wrx: try: which commandhere [02:27] ActionParsnip, usr/bin/truecrypt. Seems strange. Shouldn't I see it when I ls the bin folderr? [02:27] chris_wrx: try: ls /usr/bin | grep tru [02:27] ActionParsnip, OK I will try [02:32] ActionParsnip, OK, I found it w grep, and then I added -la to the ls command so I could see which bits are turned on which is -rwxr-xr-x. I forget which bits stand for what. Can you read those tea leaves?

[02:53] ActionParsnip_ thanks [02:53] JonnySoTerrible: installin from windows willuse Wubi, using a file in your NTFS to store the data [02:54] JonnySoTerrible: can you give some system details please [02:54] ActionParsnip: I bet arch will occupy even less space and perform better [02:54] archbestlinux: I bet tinycore uses less, what's the point?

[02:56] ActionParsnip: bloat [02:56] ActionParsnip: yes, i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:56] JonnySoTerrible: not really, it just means you fully use all the features in the hardware [02:56] archbestlinux, take it elsewhere [02:56] archbestlinux: that doesn't make any sense [02:57] archbestlinux: tinycore is a 12Mb ISO, arch is bloated [02:57] ActionParsnip, please lets move on [02:57] It's just strange because it lags when i click something. [02:57] JonnySoTerrible: tried Unity2D session? [02:57] like...5 second lag, shouldn't be doing that right? [02:58] ActionParnsip : but tinycore is not a fully functional distro [02:58] JonnySoTerrible: before you log in, click the ubuntu logo and change session [02:58] archbestlinux: wanna PM? [02:58] to which> [02:58] JonnySoTerrible: Unity2D [02:58] archbestlinux, did you have an actual support question? if not, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [02:58] What is the difference between what i have running default in 11.10 [02:59] bazhang: my question is - why is ubuntu bloated? [02:59] JonnySoTerrible: it uses metacity instead of compiz [02:59] ActionParsnip: not familiar, but i'll google it, thanks for the advice. [03:00] Hi all, if your managing your own DNS files, does someone have a link describing how to do a subdomain in bind? I can't seem to locate it [03:00] JonnySoTerrible: i just gave you all you need, what is there you need to look for? [03:01] hey guys [03:01] anyone know where I can find the SSH connection logs? [03:01] ActionParsnip: So I know what the difference is between the two? [03:01] JonnySoTerrible: I just told you... [03:01] I want to make sure no other IP addresses are connecting to my server [03:01] ActionParsnip: i'm not familiar with what metacity or compiz is. [03:02] JonnySoTerrible: compiz makes the desktop effects you see, metacity doesn't and uses fewer resources, italso doesn't require 3D accelleration to exist [03:02] ra4king: look in the conf file /etc/sshd_config [03:03] Paul24626: that's an empty file for me [03:03] ActionParsnip: i'd rather have the effects honestly... my setup should be able to handle it, i'm sure it's most likely because I installed using Wubi [03:03] JonnySoTerrible: using wubi doesn't change anything reall [03:03] JonnySoTerrible: if your ntfs is fragmented it may affect speed, otherwise it's the same [03:04] d'oh [03:05] ActionParsnip, I figured it out.

Not everyone that uses this PC has my password, how can I allow Thunar to mount devices without asking for the password please? [03:21] IlikeMoose: the pwd may be importat, if you make a script to change to the quake2 folder then run the binary, it may work [03:21] surt: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc; groups [03:22] lol i guess i found a bug on ubuntu [03:22] video reproduction on 10.04 doesn't work when you have two monitors attached [03:23] pH_: tried Precise?

The computer reboots immediately [04:46] ghostchick: pretty sure my drivers were installed correctly, thought initially it was the nouveau drivers that was causing it [04:46] everything worked better after installing the nvidia ones, but still had lockups [04:48] hey all [04:49] fencefoal: try the reset and the vblank it might help [04:50] not currently in ubuntu but will give it a go [04:51] hi === host1693 is now known as Matrixfox [04:53] hola [04:56] how come when i recompile apache with a newer version of openssl installed it keeps showing the old version is installed? can anyone help me out please?

I'm an iscsi newb who is getting shocking throughput and has no idea where how to track down the cause [05:05] would it be better to do it by apt? [05:05] AzzIzzA: hdparm may help [05:05] esuave: yes [05:05] esuave: because you will get security updates [05:05] esuave: especially for openssl it is very important to have a secure one with fixes (specially in the debian world...) [05:06] ah cool ok thanks iceroot [05:06] ActionParsnip: I'm reasonably sure I've narrowed it down to the iscsi link rather than the physical disks [05:06] esuave: try always to use software from the official repos instead of something build by hand [05:07] ok thank you [05:07] i will try the apt packages [05:08] esuave: ok [05:10] bada bing [05:14] Any way of searching through multiple files for a certain string besides a grep command? I'm hoping their's something faster. [05:14] I'm dealing with around 800,000 - 2,000,000 files or so. [05:15] BUSTACAP: if you know a little about the filename it will be in you could search for filename first, then grep the resulting files for the term [05:16] BUSTACAP: not using "-i" on grep will make if much faster [05:16] it [05:18] iceroot, I don't know the file name.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I really like Unity and all the stuff. But I wonder if there is any possibility to make my top menu bar autohiding. Not making it transparent or some other cheating, not switching to Gnome, but the real workaround of this problem. [05:46] i run skype on 10.04 just fine... [05:46] hrm [05:46] do you use an external mic? [05:46] anyways for the range in meter is it REALLY jumpy liek across the meter jumpy or stay in same area [05:47] yep use external mic [05:47] mine works with external mic [05:47] just not internal [05:47] weird [05:47] wonder if you need a driver for internal mics [05:47] and its only on skype where it doesnt work [05:47] weird [05:48] ive tried turning my mic mono installed drivers for it [05:48] i think ive tried everything at this point [05:48] wow [05:48] yeah im drawing a blank here... sorry i cant help more [05:48] its alright thanks for trying [05:48] hello [05:48] im new to the linux community [05:48] just curious for the internal mic about the meter..if anything shows up when you talk [05:48] zeptar: welcome! [05:48] yea [05:49] np Tr1gg3r [05:49] Nevermind, it appears to be an IDS. [05:49] yea the meter displays that im making sound [05:49] hey could anyone help me [05:49] im having problems with my ati driver in ubuntu 12.04 [05:49] how old is the graphics card zeptar [05:50] its an ati radeon x1600 [05:50] iirc ati removed support for older cards in latest drivers [05:50] oh boy [05:50] is that too old? [05:50] that one might not be supported by newer drivers [05:50] hey ho whatsup yall [05:51] there was a link on this soemwhere.. anyone here have more info on older ati cards and newer drivers? [05:51] well how do i get 3d accelleration [05:51] when i run fglrxinfo i get [05:51] X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [05:54] Pecker: packages.ubuntu.com lists the compatible chips to each driver packages,or you can use apt-cache show to display the same info [05:54] !ati [05:54] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [05:55] yeah googling i find that zeptar's card is part of the ol legacy driver that started with driver 9.3 [05:55] years ago... [05:56] anyways zeptar follwo the link ActionParsnip posted above, download older version of driver (prob 9.3 i guess) and use the tutorials in link to install it [06:02] I want to turn my display off if the screensaver is active. I can get screensaver state with the command `gnome-screensaver-command -q` How can I make a script to turn off the display when the previously mentioned command returns "The screensaver is active" [06:04] Ben64: i would say you want to set the turn-off-the-display delay such that its started when the screensaver would be [06:04] except that still enables while i'm watching a video with no mouse or keyboard input [06:08] Ben64: i see. Problem here is that afaik linux does not have proper 'hooking' for what you want to do -- i mean i see only option to make some script asking every second 'hey, what is screen status? -> a) screensaver, will turn off display -> b) normal, will do nothing [06:08] every minute would be fine [06:08] dont know, maybe the bus thingies with graphical interface has some kind of that [06:08] help please with my apt-get problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/1118878/ [06:08] i don't need it to be instantaneous, i'm just not sure how to do it in bash [06:09] Ben64: well you can do bash script that is started when gnome/kde is started [06:10] villeno: change your mirror, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror [06:11] can someone suggest a program which will create a website (plain html) with back/forward button to show pictures? i just need something like "export these 20 pictures to html code" [06:11] susundberg: thanks,, i'll try this one. === Caspercom|Off is now known as Caspercom [06:11] Ben64: Or perl/python script or whatever feels the easiest solution. I would go with perl scripts as its most familiar to me . [06:12] easy and perl in one sentence.. :) (write only code) :) [06:13] Hi, new to the channel, my launcher stopped auto-hide, I tried to hup the pid for launcher but that didn't do teh trick. anyone else know a way tp restart it aside from reboot? [06:14] kill the launcher [06:14] RedOpsMonkey: log out from yout X-session and log-in again, but i guess you don't mean that [06:14] oh i thought i was at android [06:14] lol [06:14] killed teh pid for the launcher that didn't work [06:14] at - in [06:14] Nevermind, I figured my problem out now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1118881/ [06:15] Ben64: nice! [06:15] i put in in cron, should suffice [06:15] Ben64: but i guess you need still while(1) there [06:16] oh yeah, sure you can do it also that way [06:16] I don't like stuff running like that, seems wasteful [06:16] but it will not work with more than one X-session, though i guess that wont matter .. [06:19] hrmm.. [06:21] i want to use unity but can compiz be disabled while playing wine games [06:21] the framerate under unity is awful for games [06:22] susundberg: thanks for your help, but nothing is working guess I have to bite teh bullet and reboot LOL [06:24] Any info how to hide the top menu bar in Ubuntu 12.04 Unity would be highly appreciated =/ [06:30] hi.

I found the computer got frozen yesterday. it happens when I leave it for weekend. any ideas? [06:43] do u turn it off when u leave? [06:43] Kartagis, battery? [06:44] Multbrelch: desktop [06:44] qwebirc85124: no I don't [06:44] No, I meant was the battery empty may be [06:44] ah [06:44] k, I see [06:44] hehe [06:45] Kartagis, inb4 power saving [06:45] some GPU drivers don't like power saving at all (usually the proprietary ones) [06:45] inb4? [06:45] inb4 = "before it's mentioned/said" [06:45] that is probly the issue. mabey ur fans arent working how they should and ur system overheats and freezes [06:45] that too [06:46] Kartagis, make sure you disable any form of power saving (if you want to shut down the screen temporarily, press the button on the screen, don't use the OS's feature as it always sucks) [06:46] should be in settings > power management or whatever [06:47] Calinou: http://uppix.net/2/c/b/31d761b8c24fb21ff1c39b5506bf5.png is all I have [06:47] anyone here good with printers? [06:47] qwebirc85124: just aks your question and see then ;) [06:48] Kartagis, set it to "don't suspend" then it should be fine :P [06:48] i have been for the past 10 minutes. i wanted to see if i could get a bite by makin it seem simple [06:48] why do you want to hide battery status, [06:48] Calinou: it was like that before [06:49] qwebirc85124: how about just describing your issue as good as detailed as a first step and wait for answers then? ;) [06:49] Calinou: since I'm on desktop, do I need it? [06:49] oh nevermind [06:49] Kartagis, mayu be it helps to exactly know after which time he freezes ... may be its an other process [06:49] i need help with a HP deskjet 3051A printer. i am on ubuntu 12.04. i have the printer setup wirelessly i just need help getting the scan feature to work when initiated from the printer itself [06:49] ok. there it is. [06:50] Kartagis, okay, thought you were on a laptop, forgot :P [06:50] 'lo, quick (hopefully) question, I need to know what the volume slider is for ubuntu, so I can run it in xfce, anyone know? [06:50] Multbrelch: I left it on Sunday at 5pm, it got frozen on Sunday at 09:03 AM [06:50] It should automatically be shoved into the notification area [06:51] kartagis: do u here ur fans running? when u put ur hand over the fan hole can u feel air coming out strongly? [06:52] qwebirc85124, right, a heat problem may be ... :-) [06:52] good question [06:53] thats wat im thinkin. [06:53] qwebirc85124: yes I feel the fans, but at the time they stop, who knows. I'll check next time [06:53] thanks for the tip [06:54] Kartagis, first thing to do: switch on, wait and check after which time he freezes. Study your desktop (heat issues etc.) [06:55] and also if u have alot of clutter around the tower then thatll disrupt air flow and cause problems. also if there is dust on the fan hole [06:56] i need help with a HP deskjet 3051A printer. i am on ubuntu 12.04. i have the printer setup wirelessly i just need help getting the scan feature to work when initiated from the printer itself..... anyone know about this? [06:57] qwebirc85124:did you install the hplip tools from software centre? [06:58] So er guys, got a minor problem, I had Linux awhile back, decided to dual boot Windows and Linux, Linux disappeared, and was back to the Windows MBR loader, or atleast I thought. Deleted the Linux partition, expanded the windows partition. Now I get error: no such partition. grub rescue> [06:58] Anyway to get my Windows partition running again? [06:58] FlameTail1: is it dualboot with win7? [06:59] lotuspsychje: Yup [06:59] lotuspsychje: Never had to use Grub rescue before so I don't know any commands for it lol [07:00] FlameTail1: win7 can corrupt mbr with ubuntu dualboot, can you still enter ubuntu any way? [07:00] yes. well i got it from the hp site itself cause the software center didnt have the latest version. i have the printer all installed but when i press scan on the printer it says "computer not found. ensure the HP software has been installed on the computer" [07:00] !grub2 > FlameTai1 [07:00] FlameTai1, please see my private message [07:00] FlameTail1: updating grub can sometimes do the trick [07:00] lotuspsychje: Ubuntu partition was completely wiped. I wiped it to extend the Windows partition. All I can access as far as I know of is grub rescue [07:01] FlameTail1:you gonna have to make a new partition in win7 and reinstall ubuntu dualboot [07:02] lotuspsychje: I'm downloading Ubuntu ISO again so I can at least get a usb live boot, but was wondering if there was a quicker way from grub rescue to just restore the old Win7 mbr loader [07:02] FlameTail1: you could try a win7 cd to fix mbr [07:02] Anybody knows how i can resolve from unity crash (loaded with no unity menu/applet), now it doesn't really go to log in through normal boot. But it will when you access it through recovery mode. [07:03] tukang: tried Unity2D session? [07:03] ActionParsnip: 2d session is blank as well [07:03] lotuspsychje: True, I could do a Win7 live boot... I don't have any cd's lol I might try that if I can't do the ubuntu live [07:03] FlameTail1: or even better, loose the windows and singleboot ubuntu :p [07:04] what is the advantage of ubuntu vs windows [07:04] lotuspsychje: lol I would love to but I require gaming unfortunately. Thus why I switched back to Windows =/ [07:04] ActionParsnip: tried unity --reset, reinstalling unity, compiz and the graphic radion as well but first time it worked to only unity 2d, then after another unsuccessful resetting (stopped at processing run key) the login disappeared [07:04] qwebirc85124: choice, cost, apps [07:04] !info playonlinux | FlameTai1 [07:04] tukang: pkill gnome-panel [07:04] FlameTai1: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine.

[07:06] i guess thats true. i just wish it was as easy to use as windows [07:06] qwebirc85124: i would add security and stability [07:06] Herakles: i see [07:06] it's just as easy to use as windows or perhaps easier [07:06] qwebirc85124: Ubuntu installed (including CD burning, all the codecs you can want and all the apps you'll need is about 5Gb tops, needing 1Gb RAM. Windows 7 s about 7Gb just for itself, then load in Office and so forth and it gets fat real fast, it also uses truckloads of RAM [07:06] Ben64: i agree its all a mental switch [07:07] qwebirc85124: I have just completetly switched from Win7 to ubuntu, had dual boot for a long time and have found Ubuntu to be way more user friendly and very easy to use and install apps [07:07] yeah, if you've used windows for years and never touched linux, it will be different === yang is now known as Guest28068 [07:07] lotuspsychje: I got sick of the tweaking to get games to run unfortunately [07:07] qwebirc85124: it is easy, its not hard at all, its just different to what you are familiar with [07:07] I'm doing a apt-get install mysql-server and it seems to be hanging [07:07] not for me. i have to come on here whenever i have to do almost anything. like installs and stuff. cause with alot of stuff there is alot of terminal commands and stuff [07:08] a ps aux shows a mysqld defunct running [07:08] FlameTai1: like i say playonlinux app can handle many games on ubuntu [07:08] almost all installs are done through the software center [07:08] RedOpsMonkey: UPGRADE......;...lol.....beware...

I cannot find the prefs for configuring. What am I doing wrong? [07:09] in windows if you want to play videos, you need to go find a decent player, and some codecs on some web page [07:09] lotuspsychje, I'm setting up lamp [07:09] in ubuntu you just "apt-get install mplayer" [07:09] tukang: if you look the photo, you can see :) [07:09] qwebirc85124: there are guides online for most things, as you use the OS you will learn, just as you learned windows [07:10] or vlc [07:10] yusufaliboz: I'd just make the space into an Ext4 partition and use it to store user data [07:10] yeah, but the point is they are all in the repositories [07:10] yusufaliboz: sorry, haven't checked the photo :) [07:10] yea. i know that i am learning. i can feel it.

[07:13] Multbrelch: you are not familiar with Netflix streaming media? [07:13] Multbrelch: regarding xchat - didnt see your question - but consider asking in #xchat aswell [07:13] ActionParsnip, I think you can modify Firefox such you can still use Moonlight ... works here [07:13] right now im kinda hating ubunt tho. cause of this printer problem. in windows id have it setup in like 20 min. but on ubuntu iv been workin on it for 2 days [07:13] fidel_, there is nobody ... [07:13] so I ran the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and now it seems to be hung [07:13] Multbrelch: th project has been abandoned [07:13] RedOpsMonkey, no I dont know this [07:14] ActionParsnip: now i'm using gnomeclassic through recovery, as i can see, when you move the windows it becomes slow, seems that graphic is not well set [07:14] Multbrelch: i see 166 users [07:14] qwebirc85124: what printer? [07:14] netflix alternatives: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2011/08/netflix-alternatives-for-ubuntu-linux.html [07:14] ActionParsnip: OK. I understand. I need to use LiveCD seems like new installing.. isn't it? [07:14] fidel_, mom [07:14] yusufaliboz: no, you are just using the desktop to free up your partitions [07:14] fidel_, ah I see, I I'm in this cairo-dock chanel [07:14] so then lets try with xchat [07:14] ActionParsnip: hmm ok. thanks for your helps..

[07:16] qwebirc85124: ahh you mean press the button on the printer and it scans? [07:16] yes. it agrivates me cause everthing else works [07:17] qwebirc85124: if you run: xev the press the button, does it make an event? [07:17] put xev in the terminal? [07:18] Hi all. In the mood to learn some more basic coding. Probably bash. Just after your thoughts. Here is the issue and what I hope to acheive [07:18] qwebirc85124: does the scan go to a "mailbox" on the printer, or is it supposed to write the image to a remote file? [07:18] qwebirc85124: yes, its a terminal command [07:19] !bash | Snowie [07:19] Snowie: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

[07:20] Have deluge to download files. we then move them from Downloads to Seperate sorted folders depending on what sort of file they are, and then stream them to the xbox from ushare. big issue is that we have to restart ushare to get it to refresh the list via command.

[07:23] qwebirc85124: yes, but when you press keys, xev reacts [07:23] qwebirc85124: so when you press the scan button, does it make similar events [07:23] Snowie, no "verbose" in the man entry, checking the googles now [07:23] jenesis_1:stability of the server would rely on many other things too [07:24] yea. i pressed scan and terminal lit up like a fire cracker [07:24] smmagic: sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc [07:24] jenesis_1: ext4 will be fine for the SSD, just set as much as you can in tempfs or on a platter based drive (caches etc) [07:24] RedOpsMonkey, vpnc is openvpn or an equivalent? [07:24] !vpn [07:24] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [07:24] qwebirc85124: ok so now you can tell the OS to do stuff when it gets those signals, you may need to scan in command line but you won't notice [07:25] smmagic: it actually enables a few clients openvpn is one [07:25] !shortcut | qwebirc85124 [07:25] qwebirc85124: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts [07:25] RedOpsMonkey, as a server, though? [07:25] trollboy, if it's not in the man page, then i dont think there will be a way to do it natively in dpkg. unfortunately, that's about the best noob help i can offer. but im sure others may have answers [07:25] qwebirc85124: its the same principle [07:25] smmagic: sorry thought you meant client [07:25] so if i do that then itll scan when i press the button on the printer? === Ovid is now known as Guest24583 [07:26] RedOpsMonkey, I intend to use this VPS i purchased as a VPN for about 3-4 people to connect to. I was under the impression openvpn is the way to go [07:26] qwebirc85124: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71962/canoscan-lide-110-driver-for-ubuntu-how-to-scan-via-command-line has a command to scan in cLI, have the OS react to the press by running the command [07:27] smmagic: checkout swedish 'mullvad' available for ubuntu aswell [07:27] i can already scan from the command line tho [07:27] lotuspsychje, isn't that just a subscription to their VPN? [07:28] qwebirc85124: yes but the input from the printer needs to fire that command and then the button will trigger a scan, as you expect [07:28] smmagic: yes its a very fast swedish vpn for low price, and with ubuntu software [07:28] lotuspsychje, I'm looking for VPN server software [07:28] alright. i may need help with this tho [07:28] if i am ato put all the cache on standard Hdd, how much will i benefit from the SSD ? probebly very little ? perhaps leaving the SSD idea befind compltly ? === zuko is now known as Guest80251 [07:29] actually yea ill definitly need help with this [07:29] jenesis_1:ssd is good to boost up boot speed up, not so helpfull for server stability [07:29] qwebirc85124: ive never had to configure keys, the link ubottu gave will show you most of it [07:30] smmagic: it will do the same thing: retransfer data tru their service [07:30] Snowie, its a known bug actually, that the entry for verbose isn't mentioned in the man page [07:30] Hi [07:30] I need some help with likewise open on 12.04 LTS [07:31] I've installed easy-deb [07:31] Hi, I have five commands that i usually put them in the terminal one by one.. Can I link them to together so I paste them together and the terminal will apply them one by one? [07:31] D020000: trigproc_activate_packageprocessing pkg=mysql-server-5.5 is apparently where its hanging. [07:31] trollboy, lol, well i stand corrected, and I have learned something. Does it seem to help you see what it's hanging at? [07:31] ActionParsnip: any idea why this bu affects ubuntu only at first boot? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+question/144040 [07:31] Snowie, I just pasted it [07:31] Snowie, I googled it is how I found out, lol [07:32] I've found a tutorial-example [07:32] hello everyone, in sound settings on input tab there is no device, and the mic is grayout,but skype and recording audio works just fine,what can be wrong? [07:32] but I don't know how to use with my python application [07:32] $ easy-deb -v2.4 -d python-pypi-delegate -D /tmp graph [07:33] Any ideas? [07:33] lauratika: have you tried opening an audio? [07:33] ok so is there anyone here who can help me configure keys? [07:33] yes audio, music works fine and mic in skype and recording voice [07:33] what if i use a realy large ram drive say 32-64GB install ubuntu and the quid on the ram, image it on a std hdd os i can 'recover' the image to the ram , wouldnt that speed up everything ? is that a good idea ? [07:33] is just that appear in input tab i dont have a mic [07:34] lauratika: is this your first time using skype? [07:35] qwebirc85124:maybe this can help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651206 [07:35] not at all [07:35] as i said my mic works perfect [07:35] lauratika: okay, what version of ubuntu? [07:36] jenesis_1:it all depends on what you wanna try to do? what are you trying to achieve? [07:36] 12.04 [07:36] lauratika: did you remember you changed/removed something related to audio? [07:36] I would some help with likewise open on 12.04 LTS on a Windows Server 2003 AD [07:36] nope [07:37] it's weird because i wine rosetta wont recognize my mic either [07:37] lauratika: sounds weird, but i may suggest quiting skype and opening it again [07:37] lauratika: if you want to know more about wine troubleshooting you can ask at #wine-hq (if i'm not mistaken) [07:38] i did it, is not skype is on soundtab [07:38] already connected the printer wirelessly. need help getting scan to work from the printer [07:38] lauratika: i see.. sorry for misunderstanding [07:38] thanx but isnt related to wine [07:38] lauratika: tried restarting? [07:38] is related to ubuntu [07:38] i am trying to save money on expensive server platform so Squid will work fast on reasnable worskatation with extra ram [07:38] yep === matias is now known as Guest17378 [07:38] hi guys, i tried following these http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror but still no good http://paste.ubuntu.com/1118878/ [07:38] and the wierdest thing works fine the mic === richard is now known as Guest50621 [07:40] jenesis_1: like i said before..the ssd will speed up boot start, but once squid runs, ssd power is not useable [07:40] Can I get in Ubuntu 12.04 Unity top menu bar autohidden? [07:40] lauratika: i guess it has something to do with pulseaudio, and i don't know much about this [07:40] !pulseaudio | lauratika [07:40] lauratika: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [07:40] vitrums:no only transparant [07:40] ok many thanks [07:41] another problem I for me: I turn on application switcher using ccsm; and when I do alt-tab, compiz freezes. any ideas? [07:42] Kartagis:try a reboot after switching a value [07:42] thanx though [07:42] lotuspsychje: hrm [07:42] i need help with key configuration [07:42] giving it a try [07:42] lotuspsychje, so the solution with gconf-editor isn't gonna working in 12.04, neither any other tool can make top bar position changed, can it? [07:42] never thought of that, let me try [07:43] vitrums: no its a unity thing now, top bar is needed for windows (like a mac) only left bar can be hiding === jason is now known as Guest28647 [07:43] /join #guitar [07:43] ... [07:43] sry [07:44] vitrums: alternatives are installing gnome-shell [07:46] qwebirc85124: http://www.mydailytechtips.com/2010/09/howto-install-hp-wireless-printer-in.html [07:46] lotuspsychje: ikno, thx, but I really like Unity, it's so great in the latest Ubuntu distributives. It's just that the top bar as also the left bar are glitching when I screencast my x11grabbed desktop via ffmpeg having some motion picture (like mediaplayer) fullscreened =. [07:47] vitrums: u mean your screen is flickering with the bars? [07:47] qwebirc85124: What HP printer is it? I've just installed a wireless HP 6700 (i think) [07:47] I think my solution is Zenity. is there a bittorent client from the command line? [07:48] !torrent | Snowie [07:48] Snowie: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P [07:48] ThinkT510, thanks mate [07:48] i already have it installed. the only problem is that the scan wont go to the computer when i press scan on the printer [07:49] Good morning. On my laptop, I have a datahand attached to a dock. I have a script I run to toggle the dock on/off. When I'm using the dock, the keyboard layout should be US. When I'm not, it's gb. That's all fine, until I suspend and revive. [07:49] lotuspsychje: exactly. Undetermined behavior of the output picture. With some players/applications it seems to be fine, but the majority of them are just not working as I want them to, and these bars are showed up through my full sreen player/application once per several seconds [07:49] morning mates, what username and password do i use for the first log-in in the iHRIS manage? [07:49] I created /etc/pm/sleep.d/11-datahand with a single /usr/bin/setxkbmap us for resume|thaw, but it hasn't worked. [07:49] Anyone got any suggestions. [07:49] vitrums: i think flickering is not caused by the bars mate, you got same issue with lets say vlc? [07:50] qwebirc85124: I had that problem, I had to install the hplib package from the hp website because the one in the 12.04 repo didn't include the 6700, I think the printer was too new to work with the default version [07:50] DJones: are u able to scan/print wireless now? [07:50] qwebirc85124: As soon as i installed that, i was able to scan straight off [07:51] lotuspsychje: ^^ [07:51] yea i downloaded the hplip packege from the site. [07:51] lotuspsychje: application switcher still freezes my computer, but I can use ring switched [07:51] switcher* [07:52] lotuspsychje: well, if I screencast my Totem on full screen - bars are flickering. Twitch.tv, Cybergame.tv, Youtube fullscreen players - flickering. Own3d however don't =/ [07:52] wow, this ring switcher rocks [07:52] vitrums: are you sure your grafix driver is installed correclty? [07:53] Morning, rkhunter is giving me these warnings now: how can I restore core files please? (Ubuntu 10.04 server) http://pastebin.com/SNbQG6H9 [07:53] lotuspsychje: pretty much, since I've already tried a recommended one and the latest update. [07:54] vitrums:recent system or older pc? did you try if unity2d does the same thing? [07:55] lotuspsychje: the pc and the graphic card itself are modern as well as the Ubuntu 12.04 distributive was downloaded just a month ago. Or I missed the point? How can I switch to the Unity 2D? [07:56] vitrums: you can logout and after typing username you can swith unity3D to unity2d [07:56] lotuspsychje: I'll try. Hold on [07:56] vitrums: we gotta findout what causes this flickering [07:59] lotuspsychje: ok, I'm here. Testing out my broadcast [07:59] vitrums: ok im curious === shopt is now known as aclocal === wzyboy1 is now known as wzyboy [08:03] lotuspsychje: wow, it's working just fine. Now I wonder how I can get it work in 3D :curious: [08:04] vitrums: maybe its a compiz thing, or a grafix driver thing [08:04] vitrums: must be a compiz issue [08:04] anyway bbl breakfast here [08:06] ok, I'll dig into it later. Thanks for help [08:06] is it possible to setup my openvpn server so that i can connect to it with a username and password (http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/docs/admin-guides/397-how-to-connect-to-a-vpn-server-with-the-openvpn-client.html) with this client instead of certificates? [08:08] PeterB: identify the packages that the programs belong to, then run 'apt-get install --download-only ', then disconnect the affected device from the network and run 'apt-get install --reinstall ' and update the rkhunter database before you reconnect to the network. [08:09] timfrost: many thanks - I can only access the box via ssh, but I'll disconnect my ADSL first and leave the home network running === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [08:14] PeterB: is the server on your home network? [08:14] Why has ubuntu cut down on so many GTK themes it had in 10.04 versions to only 2 in the unity versions? [08:15] X-tonic: unity is based on gnome3 [08:16] X-tonic: 10.04 used gnome2 [08:17] timfrost: yes, running next to my desk [08:17] ThinkT510: yes, but my point is @ that time ubuntu offered a wider variety of choices for users on themeing. Now with gnome3 too, that options shouldnt be restricted. [08:18] The need to use 3rd party broken tools for theming seems painful. [08:18] X-tonic: and my point is that since they are entirely different codebases they will need entirely different themes [08:18] o/ [08:19] PeterB: In that case, disconnecting the ADSL makes sense. The big challenge would be if the server was hosted remotely :) [08:19] lol yes [08:19] X-tonic: gnome2 uses gtk2, which there are plenty of themes for, gnome3 uses gtk3, which there aren't that many themes for [08:19] X-tonic: gtk2 has been around for quite a while === fh is now known as Guest30562 === Guest30562 is now known as fhblessy [08:22] PeterB: I am not sure what is going on with the hidden files/directories that rkhunter reports, but I can't check as I am not running 10.04 so can't check whether they are valid [08:22] the hidden directories are fine, I've verified those [08:22] it's the binaries I'm concerned about [08:23] core security updates are installed automatically, but I'd have expected rkhunter to cope with those? [08:24] PeterB: is it possible that the rkhunter database has not been updated correctly for these files? [08:25] ThinkT510: but there are sufficient number of gtk3+ themes too. http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=167 [08:25] timfrost: yes, but any idea where I can verify if the hashes are correct? [08:25] X-tonic: have you tried any of them with unity? [08:26] Yes, some of them do break, but some work fine. [08:27] X-tonic: see, that means that any gtk3 themes ubuntu wants to use would have to be tweaked to work with unity [08:27] X-tonic: cannonical can only do so much [08:28] I installed openbox window manager and started using Gnome/Openbox session and using avant-window-navigator as panel, installed xcompmgr too so I could still get window shadows - but I don't. xcompmgr -cC does not draw shadows under openbox windows. Composite extension is loaded according to Xorg.0.log. I don't understand what's the issue [08:28] X-tonic: given time the amount of unity themes will increase, it just isn't high on their priority list [08:30] Im building a new pc for ubuntu. What motherboard should i look for? Something entry level cheap but new with decent ports and most importantly usb boot [08:33] devtekalpha: motherboards all depends on your needs, ubuntu will handle it [08:35] devtekaplha: ot join ##hardware for mobo hints [08:35] does anyone know if swap is activated automatically? [08:35] http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/image351.png Is this picture up to date? [08:35] !swap [08:35] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [08:35] devtekalpha: you'll probably want to avoid anything with secureboot or efi/uefi [08:36] Why does ubuntu differ from FHS? [08:36] hi, what exactly does mysql-server-5.5 include that mysql-server-core-5.5 doesnt include? i dont really understand the difference from the package description [08:36] can i edit /etc/locale.gen to remove iso88591 (latin) so i only use UTF8 ? [08:37] !lamp | gerryvdm [08:37] gerryvdm: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:38] ThinkT510:any clue why this bug affects only first boot? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+question/144040 [08:38] elfranne: no need to remove it, just comment it [08:38] lotuspsychje: not surw how that answers my question? [08:38] lotuspsychje: thanks, but I`m still not sure if I need to activate the swap. I think the GUI installer made some kind of swap partition though [08:39] Has ubuntu symlinked /bin to /usr/bin and /sbin to /usr/sbin yet? [08:39] silverarrow: stick to the partitioning that ubuntu install does, and it will be all fine [08:40] ThinkT510, yes that was my idea, but i won t create some problems in the hole system ? [08:40] Where would find an USB memory stick in the file hierarchy? [08:40] domedagen, where you mounted it [08:40] domedagen: in the related mount-point [08:41] lotuspsychje: thanks === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [08:41] If I just plug it in and let Ubuntu have its way [08:41] domedagen: try entering 'mount' in terminal - ubuntu often mounts into /media afaik [08:41] elfranne: i'm not sure sorry, i've never done it [08:41] lotuspsychje: http://imagebin.org/222581 [08:41] lotuspsychje: have you read the last comment in that bug report? [08:42] domedagen: if you just plug it it - it should appear in the filemanager as well - no directn eed to even access cli at that point [08:42] ThinkT510: they say lower the video ram, i just wondering howcome it does that only once? [08:42] domedagen: try /media [08:42] lotuspsychje: sorry, i have no clue, i use nvidia [08:43] lotuspsychje: was that bug report using 10.04? and are you? [08:43] ThinkT510: ok tnx anyway, i got several systems now doing same bug on precise, older laptops and systems [08:45] ThinkT510: first boot makes a corrupted mouse pointer, then a reboot fixes it...so i wonder how a BIOS setting can affect this bug [08:45] fidel_: lotuspsychje: I don't have a USB flash drive atm. Just for curiosity [08:45] Trying to learn about the file hierarchy [08:46] where can i get pam/pam-devel [08:47] !info pam | malikmasr [08:47] malikmasr: Package pam does not exist in precise [08:47] is there a way to get it? [08:48] im trying to use pam for openvpn [08:48] malikmasr: newsgroups pam? [08:48] lotuspsychje: hmm, is this just happening on ubuntu? have you tried other distros? [08:49] lotuspsychje: Its PAN for newsgroup reading, not PAM [08:49] ThinkT510:yes only ubuntu i have tested, several versions [08:49] DJones: oh my bad yeah [08:49] lotuspsychje: Heh, confusing, only one letter [08:50] lotuspsychje: im not sure what you mean, basically im following this guide to change to pam authentication http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#auth [08:50] and upon trying to compile the plugin it requests pam-devel [08:50] !info pam-devel [08:50] Package pam-devel does not exist in precise [08:50] well is there a workaround? [08:51] or am i basically screwed [08:51] malikmasr:not sure mate, apt-cache search pam-devel shows nothing [08:52] darn, knew it had to be complicated somewhere haha [08:52] lotuspsychje: that is most odd, i'd expect it to be a driver problem or a xorg issue, but of you've tested different versions then its used different driver and xorg versions [08:52] PeterB: the re-install process that I described is intended to ensure that the binaries that are on the server *are* OK. If the packages are verified during the download process, then we can assume that the hashes on the .deb files match those recorded by the repository. [08:52] lotuspsychje: the fact that an immediate reboot fixes the issue leads me to think its hardware related [08:53] ... [08:53] ThinkT510: i also might think its an ati driver issue, but ill have to try the BIOS trick first to make sure, tnx anywayz [08:54] Anyone suggest a method of adding a system tray icon in ubuntu from /to a bash script? [08:54] 12.04 with unity [08:54] lotuspsychje: yeah, given the quality of ati drivers it may be a bug present in all the versions you've used [08:55] *whispers* ps, anyone else quietly thrilled that steam is moving to official linux version with ubuntu at the head end [08:55] Snowie: yes [08:56] IlikeMoose, ;) === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [08:58] I have tried making a system tray notification with $ zenity --notification, but i get a popup instead of a systray icon/msg [08:58] hi, I have problems updating bind9 as it depends on a lot of things like: bind9 depends on libbind9-80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.1); however: [08:58] Version of libbind9-80 on system is 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.2.

GRUB2 is programmed not to show itself if there is no other OS [09:15] moes, brilliant!

I am not sure if it is a bug in ubuntu-server or just wrong settings on my fresh ubuntu-server 12.04 box. I use encryption for the boot drive and also an additional encrypted volume due to the entries in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab (see. http://paste.debian.net/181178/ ). When I open the luks volume manually with "tcryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb secret" he passphrase input is "hidden".

[12:45] bump [12:47] join #ubuntu-uk [12:48] Hello all. I'm currently trying to format a USB flash drive to FAT32 with gparted to allow me to install Windows off it. However, when I format it, and set it to have a "boot" flag, I can not mount it. After trying to mount it in Thunar, I get the error: "Mounting of *disk name* failed: daemon inhibited". Why is this, and how can I fix it? Thanks. === violinappren is now known as Guest9191 [12:49] mang0: have you unplugged it since you formatted? === warfaren_ is now known as warfaren [12:51] hey! How can you make the calender have monday as the first day of the week? [12:51] ThinkT510: Yes [12:53] mang0, you should use a uility to create the stick for you, like WinToFlash. I dont know if thats the best one, but its obviously not working the way youre doing it [12:54] mang0 windows has a tool called yu--- or ya--- something to create bootable usb sticks [12:54] mang0, to create a linux installer, you would use unetbootin [12:54] IT'S UP! [12:55] AWESOMELEMONADE [12:55] cyanboy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:00] MonkeyDust: Is that yu/ya thing available for linux? [13:00] mang0 no, linux has other tools, like mentioned before [13:01] MonkeyDust: Indeed, I have already tried UNetbootin though, and nothing happened. I'm more worried about formatting this usb stick back to empty FAT32 or NTFS. === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [13:02] is there a solution for could not mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 [13:02] mang0 i guess you're seeing it wrong, or i'm not getting what you want to do, [13:02] mang0 unetbooting creates a live usb stick, no need to format [13:03] MonkeyDust: he wants to create a windows on usb [13:03] MonkeyDust: Okay. Ignore the fact I want to install windows: I have a USB stick that I need to format to 1 partition of either FAT32 or NTFS, active, without using UNetbootin [13:03] Sorry if I'm being unclear [13:03] Hi, guys! Is it possible to force man to open the builtins man page for zsh rather than bash when doing e.g. 'man alias' ? [13:03] mang0 yes, you can use gparted to create partitions, i did it on a usb stick, too [13:04] ThinkT510: Not quite; I've already tried using UNetbootin, but it didn't work, so therefore I want to try a different method that requires me to have an empty FAT32/NTFS stick [13:04] mang0: gparted can do that. or the cli, [13:04] mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX [13:04] osse: shell-builtins don't have man-pages [13:05] unetbootin normally uses fat32, so you could just delete the files on it [13:05] MonkeyDust: Right, so I opened the stick up in gparted, and deleted the partition from before, and then tried to create a new FAT32 part - fine. Then I tried to mount it, but it said I couldn't mount it due to the daemon being inhibited [13:05] dr_willis: ^ [13:05] ThinkT510: ------__^ [13:06] mang0: mount it by hand, or remove/reinsert the flash. it may be just confused becaues you repartioned it [13:06] dr_willis: Yeah, I did remove/reinsert it :/ Perhaps I should log out/in again or something [13:06] I'll try hand mounting first [13:06] or go hard core and reboot and check it.. could be the kernel is confused [13:06] mang0: i've formatted plenty of usb sticks to fat32 and have never got that error [13:07] llutz, that may well be, but nevertheless when I execute e.g. 'man alias' or 'man jobs' I'm taken to a man page named BASH_BUILTINS(1) which seems to cover every builtin. === nosrepa is now known as aperson [13:07] ThinkT510: :/ well, I'm going to reboot, I'll check back in a second. [13:07] if you repartition a disk. the kernel can get confused and still try to use the old partition layout.

[16:08] Did i hear somewhere that linux runs better on amd than intel or is that rubbish? [16:09] They respond to global menu commands, and close just like they are supposed to, so it's strictly graphics problem.

[16:49] no [16:51] DWSR, try to install it and re-start lightdm sudo services lightdm restart [16:52] [snake]: I don't think you can do that, you need to use Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> LibreOffice Basic [16:53] [snake]: or do you mean, access the data in a spreadsheet from php or javascript? [16:54] <[snake]> Mattias, accessing the data in a spreadsheet from php or javascript [16:56] [snake]: Isn't it just easier to export the data as CSV? [16:57] hi guys, someone can help me to configure a laptop with amd/intet hybrid graphic? I can't get acceleration if I boot with intel card [16:57] [snake]: I think it's XML in a zip if I remember correctly… you should be able to decompress then use one of the XML libraries to read/write to the document. [16:59] <[snake]> Mattias, what's CSV [16:59] I just got a nice intel SSD on spur of the moment, is there a simple way to clone my entire setup from one HD to the other? [16:59] Jordan__: are they the same size? [16:59] <[snake]> aethelrick, what do you mean? [16:59] [snake]: Character Separated Values (CSV) [16:59] [snake]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values [16:59] Hi. I have installed Precise and APT download speends are horrible. I tried using both the US mirror and a local one. Is there a way to find the fastest mirror? (I'm running Kubuntu) [16:59] [snake]: php can handle the csv format [16:59] Not exactly, the destination drive can fit the data being moved to it, not including free space on the partitions [17:00] theadmin do pig and speed test to the servers ? [17:00] s|pig|ping :) [17:00] bobweaver: Never mind, found it under software-properties-kde [17:00] Jordan__: dd can image your drive.. but i haven't done it with disimilar dirves before [17:00] [snake]: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/php/php10p6.html [17:01] [snake]: this tutorial exports the data (in this case microsoft excel) to csv, then uses php to read the csv file. [17:01] Jordan__: you could resize your current partition to one what would fit on the new drive and then use dd [17:01] Nice, yeha that's probably what I"ll end up doing [17:01] Looking forward to it, never had a high quality SSD before [17:01] Jordan__: i've been thinking of doing it to my netbook [17:01] [snake]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification [17:02] with the new skype 4 is it possible to run multiple instances? [17:02] [snake]: have a look at the parts concerning *.ods files [17:03] bobweaver: Seems to be working olk now. [17:03] bobweaver: This is probably related to my attempts to get switcheroo working [17:03] [snake]: Mattias has a point though… CSV would be much easier [17:03] DWSR, good to hear have fun :) [17:04] <[snake]> Mattias, aethelrick, thanks for helping!

[17:17] yeah it ran [17:18] rez0r: ok, if everything is max then there is something else. make sure the speakers are plugged in properly. [17:18] aside that i have no ideas [17:18] yeah they are [17:18] rez make sure there are MM in the ctrl boxes , and use the arroe keys to navigate and turn the volume up or down [17:18] if i reboot into windows they are loud as hell [17:18] MM?

[17:22] rez0r: paste your alsamixer in imagebin , so we can have look at it [17:22] how do i save a screenshot in ubuntu [17:22] usually a gnome add-on [17:23] Allright, that helped. [17:23] Yay, upgrades [17:23] * theadmin loves upgrades. [17:23] oh sure [17:23] apt-get upgrade daily [17:23] rez0r: it usually saves to the documents file [17:23] I had some problems instaling ubuntu 12.04 so i installed 11.10 and now i started to upgrade,but it's only downloading at 200-500 kB/s. I have 10mb/s connection so download should be around 1mB/s. [17:24] Why is the download slow and can i speed it up ? [17:24] i have a 50Mbit connection and i was only getting around 500kbps [17:24] saltmiser: Daily? Heh, Ubuntu isn't likely to publish daily updates, they're not Arch.

But my biggest problem is my graphic card. It's not supported anymore. xP [17:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1119861/ I am seeing a large number of these sorts of errors on two machines, both from SSDs. If enough of them pile up, then my kernel locks the filesystem and the computer goes comatose, usually necessitating a hard reboot. I have made adjustments to the fstab, the /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler, and a variety of other items on both systems, but I my system still ends up locking and the SSDs seem to be the culprits. Could [17:34] it be hardware failure, or something else? They've both been doing this for months, but they've never actually died on my. [17:34] i cant run them unless i run them as ro0ot [17:34] theadmin, i use gentoo, so i use chroot sometimes to rescue my sys ;) isn't it possible or is chrooting just not proper?

[17:35] rez0r: check your audio settings in the speaker icon [17:35] says built-in audio (true) [17:35] output volume 100% [17:36] rez0r: no other options ? [17:37] what do you mean [17:37] qubodup: try fotoxx or nautilus-image-manipulator or nautilus-image-converter. All in the software center [17:37] balance [17:37] IdleOne: thanks [17:37] test sound, which also is quiet when i test it [17:37] rez0r: or open a terminal , sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel [17:38] qubodup: there is also Gimp but that might be a lot for just resizing. She may like it though, it has a ton of features/tools. [17:38] gimp is not acceptable [17:38] Didn't think so :) [17:38] (for this task) [17:38] :) [17:38] nothing happens when i type that [17:39] ok ,then there no errors . rez0r [17:39] then why is it so quiet [17:39] rez0r: alt+f2 type pulseaudio [17:40] i clicked it nothing happened [17:41] uh oh [17:41] i went to click it again, now its missing [17:42] Writing echo "2:#processing" used with yad --multi-progress outputs ":#processing" in the specified progress bar. What's the syntax to get "processing"? [17:43] yeah nothing happens when i click on pulseaudio [17:45] leave [17:45] Hi [17:45] #leave [17:45] lol [17:45] try /part [17:45] yeah , rez0r making sure it's there ...nothing happens if it's there ...what do you see clicking the icon on the top left [17:46] pulseaudio icon? [17:46] no [17:46] \is there a searchbar [17:46] yeah [17:46] isn't there supposed to be [17:46] Snap [17:46] type in audio [17:46] i just did a fresh install, everything that should be there should be there [17:47] So. Wine isn't working for me. [17:47] audio is there [17:47] Is there a windows emulator out? [17:47] .-. I need it T_T [17:47] Wine [17:47] :P [17:47] rez0r: ok click on it [17:47] I did wine. [17:47] Doesn't work for me for some reason. [17:47] Kasuki: What are you trying to do? [17:47] I'm not sure why. [17:47] great nothing happened [17:47] Wine works [17:47] just like pulseaudio [17:47] hm [17:48] I'm trying to run a program called modio from my external drive. [17:48] did u check the appdb [17:48] Or even possibly find a way to just put windows on the external... It's usb though. [17:48] Kasuki: #winehq might be better place to ask [17:48] Kasuki sure there's no linux equivalent? [17:48] Kasuki: can run a VM of windows [17:48] VM? [17:48] virtual machine sorry. [17:48] rez0r: what about system settings icon , there's an audio/sound control option there . [17:49] what about it [17:49] Storage isn't an issue for me, so if I can I wouldn't mind getting an emulator. [17:49] just takes me to that worthless audio control app that has no advanced settings or nothing [17:49] rez0r: what do you think it's there for [17:49] apparently for nothing [17:49] because thats what its good for [17:49] Kasuki: modio does not seem to be supported by wine. You'd want to run a virtual machine that runs windows. (virtual machines does not handle 3d very well though) [17:49] lol [17:50] Is there a way to put windows on an external hard drive? [17:50] Like usb? [17:50] yes [17:50] all it has is a volume control basically, that aint gonna help me [17:50] Kasuki the windows guys will know [17:50] Awesome [17:50] the windows guy [17:50] Kasuki this is the ubuntu support channel [17:50] u can make windows liveusb's [17:50] Guess I'm off to find him [17:51] XD [17:51] and run windows off usb [17:51] Kasuki: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:55] rez0r: google the combination of your sound card, "linux" or "ubuntu" and "problem" or "quiet"? [17:56] i tried that [17:56] What is a "code tag" in Ubuntu?

I want the HDTV to be the only display. However, when I go into nvidia's settings to disable the laptop display and make the HDTV the only/primary display, it stops booting. It freezes at the boot logo and never proceeds past it. Other times I've tried this, it made the text super super small and repeated the UI like 10 times with a [18:20] huge error. Now that I've tried it again, it broke my boot altogether, why is this happening? Why is Ubuntu so impossible with HDTVs over HDMI? [18:20] !heko [18:21] I am wondering if there is a direction you could point me in [18:21] I hope I didn't lose my entire Ubuntu install because of a stupid desire to have my HDTV be the primary and only display for a laptop =/ [18:21] using the nvidia settings UI to do this simple task shouldn't so easily break an install.. seriously. [18:21] I tried using the built-in system settings UI but it sees my two screens as one big screen, so I can't configure them. [18:22] simplew: sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev; [18:22] I am trying to upgrade ubuntu [18:22] I can't log in, when I try to (both on Xfce session and Xubuntu session), it shows a black screen with some orange and blue text, and then I'm back to the login screen [18:22] simplew: you actually got it, you just can't unpack [18:22] but i got an error not enough disk space [18:22] may I know where i have to clean the data [18:22] ?? [18:23] trism: thanks [18:23] harsh343: paste the output of: df -h [18:23] why doesn't ubuntu use Gnome 3 instead of unity? [18:23] Mahmoud: its your choice [18:24] fidel_, http://pastebin.com/LSLMXhxN [18:24] i know -- thanks to the beauty of simplecity [18:24] does no one know how to help me fix my install? i can't get in anymore. why is setting an HDTV as only display so OS-breaking? [18:24] HEY! could I get some help? [18:24] myst3rious: try moveing your .Xauthority file [18:24] Is there a good ISO copier? [18:24] trism: where are the bumblebee packages? [18:24] I need to copy an installation disc's ISO image. [18:24] dr_willis: and where is that at? [18:24] harsh343: do you understand the output of the df command? [18:25] myst3rious: your home dir. [18:25] gee, that helps [18:25] harsh343, start the 'disk usage utility'. it's agraphical tool that shows what's eating up your disk space [18:25] what's a good alternative to iptables if I want to set up a basic internet gateway? i.e., I have eth0 and eth2 and I want to share internet from eth0 to eth2 [18:25] the only account I can get into is a guest session [18:25] fidel_, no [18:26] harsh343: df shows you the disk usage per partition/mounted volume [18:26] Lazure: did you install restricted/additonal drivers , for you graphics card ? [18:26] yeah i'm using the restricted drivers [18:26] the gui tool romy420 mentioned might be easier to understand [18:26] works fine for everything except disabling my laptop screen to use my HDTV instead. [18:26] simplew: seem to be in a ppa, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee but they don't have builds for quantal (and I've never used it so I don't really know) [18:26] Lazure: what's the connection to your tv ? [18:26] myst3rious: use the console and the cli. [18:26] basically it shows uss that you have only 1,3G free on your main linux partition -> /dev/sda9 [18:26] the only way to use HDTV right now is TwinView, which I didn't want to do because my laptop screen being there to the left makes my mouse corners not usable. [18:26] HDMI [18:26] but now i can't even get in my OS [18:27] it's frozen after the boot logo [18:27] fidel_, in which folder i have to delete the sata [18:27] data [18:27] Lazure: so you're not getting to grub ? [18:28] harsh343: i cant tell you what to delete - as we do not know your content. your entire partition is pretty small - i guess (wild guess) you should start deleting in your users home folder - as everything else is not the typical place for random user stuff ;) [18:28] i can get to grub , and i can see the plymouth boot animation (which shows on my laptop screen, even tho i DISABLED it in nvidia-xserver-settings... [18:28] trism: why didnt ubuntu packaged bumblebee apps? [18:28] but it just.. stays there, still see the plymouth boot logo after 10 minutes [18:28] and nothing on my HDTV [18:28] can't proceeed past this point [18:28] I can't get hardware acceleration on my powerbook g4 [18:28] harsh343, u cannot see this with 'df'. use the gui-tool and if possible have a bigger partition for linux [18:28] im not even sure where to start === ChocolateDonuts is now known as CDonuts [18:29] i can't even get the terminal screens wtih CTRL+ALT+F1 and so on.. [18:29] I've been trying to use Xorg -configure to setup an xorg.conf file but i keep getting errors [18:29] seems the system is hardlocked [18:29] simples [18:29] simplew [18:29] I have sticky edges turned off on my desktop but it still sticks when going between screens. How do I stop this? [18:30] !xorgconf | andrew__ [18:30] andrew__: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

[18:30] romy420, Is it possible to increase the space right now ?? [18:30] andrew__: You have to shutdown X which means not only your desktop but lightdm/gdm/kdm [18:30] Does anyone here prefer Chromium over Firefox? [18:31] yes me [18:31] !ot > soulstitchmmo [18:31] soulstitchmmo, please see my private message [18:31] q: can i connect my computer to the internet via a bluetooth enabled smart phone with 3G connection ? [18:31] soulstitchmmo: please don't poll the channel [18:31] Lazure: what happens if you disconnect the hdmi , then boot? [18:31] i ctrl-alt-f1 to drop to a console and run sudo stop lightdm before running Xorg -configure and still get errors [18:31] harsh343, you at least nine partitions on that hard disk. maybe there is one u dont need for something else. but i see no easy way to enlarge the current linux partition [18:31] Holy shit. [18:31] soulstitchmmo: don't swear either [18:32] andrew__: What errors more specifically? [18:32] this is a losing battle [18:32] hello, I have issues with my Ubuntu distribution. Titles and borders of every window can't renderize sometimes. How could I solve this issue? [18:32] I have sticky edges turned off on my desktop but it still sticks when going between screens. How do I stop this? [18:32] i could have installed windows 4 times by now [18:33] hello [18:33] romy420, ok not an issue one major problem I have right now I am not able to format my pendrive right now [18:33] I got an error Protected read only [18:33] what i can do ? [18:34] harsh343: flip the switch on the pendrive? [18:34] disconnecting the HDMI did nothing, it still won't boot [18:34] ki4ro_, no switch in the pendrive [18:34] harsh343, use the disk 'disk utility' to mount/unmount/format the pendrive ... after u checked if there is a mechanical switch on the stick :) [18:34] msg ggupta register [18:35] So I have a Razer Blade laptop I just got in today. When I was installing Ubuntu through USB the keyboard was working perfectly. After it finished installing it stopped working... Any suggestions? [18:36] dch4pm4n: Have you tried unplugging and replugging it? [18:36] It's a laptop. [18:36] ;) [18:37] plug in external and apply any updates.. perhaps [18:37] dr_willis: I'm actually down that now. I will let you know how that goes. [18:37] ki4ro_, I have this pendrive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18vY4_CowjA I bought today from online e commerce website [18:37] may be fixed in a updated kernel [18:38] dr_willis: I imagine the touch pad wouldn't work since it's actually an LCD touch screen, but the keyboard should be alright. We will see. [18:39] keyboard didn't even want to work in the grub menu either.... ;\ [18:39] ok, i made it bootable again, had to use the recovery mode to copy the xorg.conf.backup over xorg.conf [18:40] but of course this puts me back where i was before... twinview. i'm not gonna mess with it anymore, i've decided that linux just doesn't support hardware good enough to use it right now. =/ in windows I can press one freakin keystroke and get what I want, permanently, and it doesn't break everything. [18:40] dr_willis: Updates just finished and I've rebooted. Still no luck :-( [18:40] Lazure: did this boot freeze start right after the hdmi to tv connection or did it work for a while then suddenly not boot === jungejas_ is now known as jungejason [18:40] BluesKaj: it broke when i told nvidia settings to disable my latpop screen and ONLY use my HDTV over HDMI as the only monitor. [18:41] basically trying to do the same thing as 'projection' mode in windows, where you only use the external screen. [18:41] but, it's obviously 100% impossible in linux do this on a laptop it would seem.

[18:42] Lazure: yea , I have a laptop connected to regular monitor and the lapsrreen works until X loads then it goes blank [18:43] romy420, error [18:43] it works fine if it's in twinview, but this means i can't easily mouse the corner in gnome-shell (or unity for that matter) to bring up the stuff. oh well. [18:43] harsh343, what error did u get? and where, in which program? [18:43] romy420, I got this error Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdc1: Read-only file system [18:44] after unmount and format from disk utility [18:44] Lazure: with similar settings , except I'm using vga...this desktop is connected a a plasma tv with dvi>hdmi [18:44] harsh343, tra to unmount it, then mount it again [18:44] ok [18:45] i'd never use VGA, most HDTVs can't even 1080p on VGA, plus it won't match the pixels physically [18:45] romy420, what next ? [18:45] Lazure: yeah , I was thinking about the laptop screen settings [18:46] is there any option to format the pendrive in ubuntu [18:46] nvidia settings that is ... [18:46] well, at this point i have deemed what i want to do impossible and will no longer try. ubuntu still has years to go before it is as usable and functional as a commercial OS, i guess. :( it's sad, because in general it runs nicer and more secure than windows does, but it's the little things that *don't work* as they should that break usability in the end. [18:46] Please help me to format my new pendrive [18:46] harsh343, did u format the whole drive of the volume (shown below)? [18:47] yes === NostradamusXL is now known as DemonWitch [18:47] Lazure: could there be some bios setting that you bypass the laptop screen with ? [18:47] IdleOne: I followed your advice, turned to #ubuntuforums and it was successful. Thank you for your help. [18:48] i ran sudo stop lightdm then sudo Xorg -configure and got the following: "number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Server terminated with error 2 [18:48] anyone know why? [18:48] i've looked, there is none. i can press fn+58 during certain POST screens to shift it over, but once it gets to where linux is booting, it no longer functions. [18:48] Is "grep" builtin to bash? [18:48] it's not right? [18:48] andrew_: sudo service stop lightdm [18:48] that combination actually does work in windows, tho. but you can just as easily win+P and click 'projection' and do the same thing. [18:49] harsh343, sorry, was typing too fast. did u format the drive (above) or the volume (below) in disk utility? [18:49] I'm confused... when you use grep, on the gnome terminal, I get nice coloring to show what part of the search results were matched [18:49] that's built in to gnome terminal? [18:49] when you call grep, it does that? [18:49] romy420, I format volume below [18:50] arr, I'm not making sense -.- [18:50] dr_willis: Updates just finished and I've rebooted. Still no luck :-( [18:50] okay, question: is there a builtin program to "move a file to trash"? [18:50] dch4pm4n: hi [18:50] harsh343, please choose 'erase and partition the drive', then choose msdos partition table and fat32 file system [18:51] rm just deletes the file, correct? [18:51] Lazure: so the hdmi setting has never worked ? [18:51] andrew_: Excuse me: sudo service lightdm stop [18:51] Hii all guys [18:51] MagneticDuck: ive seen scripts for it [18:51] Salman: hi. if you're wondering I have the razer blade laptop and the keyboard was working find in installation mode... but now doesn't work after ubuntu is installed [18:51] Lazure: I mean properly [18:52] romy420, no such option in front of me I am using ubuntu 11.04 [18:52] harsh343, ms dos partition table = master boot record [18:52] dch4pm4n: Yes keybord [18:52] but the tool is there, isnt it? [18:52] but I have another option in front which is delete partition [18:53] how can i use the brain fuck schedular? [18:53] !pm dch4pm4n how to register [18:53] Salman: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:53] its a kernel schedular like cfq [18:53] ugh this is outrageous [18:53] Salman: Yes, and it's not like it's weird chipset or something... it's an intel chipset [18:53] Salman, where is shahrukh ? [18:53] i could google all day and not find the answers [18:54] seems like it wouldnt be that hard to make a sound card work [18:54] harsh343, the other option is higher up [18:54] hello! I am trying to compile one driver (http://code.google.com/p/easy-slow-down-manager/). It requires include/asm folder. But instead of it , I have include/asm-generic.

[19:03] dr_willis, and still my daughter PC took roughly 4 hours (split out over some weeks) till it's sound worked, just because an Audio driver detects hardware and claims that it works does not mean that you get sound out of plugs ;) [19:03] ok [19:03] new linux user [19:03] Resinator: Does the sound work normally when booted to Live CD? [19:03] oh I see... [19:03] klj613: or you can just add your sript in /etc/init.d/ [19:04] Resinator, is it low sound and only 100% volume works as it should? [19:04] Lazure: using lightdm or gdm ?

[19:28] boa tarde [19:29] @squid : sorry, I just forgot the / [19:29] now everybody knows [19:30] romy420. Did you get it fixed?!? [19:31] #pondyn [19:31] Here [19:31] squid, what do u mean? Resinator's sound issue? === Guest4205 is now known as xazax_ [19:31] I have sticky edges turned off on my desktop but it still sticks when going between screens. How do I stop this? [19:31] yea [19:31] ugh [19:31] that is no solution [19:32] squid, i stopped thinking when u came up with the solution, had a short glance at the thread [19:32] lol [19:32] that was not a solution [19:33] basically it had me install gnome alsa [19:33] which is nothing [19:33] and do nothing but check my volume levels [19:33] and put a line of options in [19:33] romy420. Sorry but I didn't come up with a solution. Rather, I found a threat online with the possible solution that has worked for others [19:33] which did nothing [19:33] Resinator: please don't hit the enter key every 3 words, makes it very hard to follow what you are saying. [19:33] Resinator, the driver module is loaded ... does your card show up in the 'sound settings' dialog? [19:34] perhaps installing a different kernel [19:34] squid, yeahi understand that :) [19:34] Hi, I'm looking for some kind of tool to get a breakdown of network traffic going through a regular desktop computer running ubuntu, command line or gui doesn't matter but I'm specifically looking for different values of TOS. Ideally I would like to have a running rate calculation of traffic with TOS byte 10, 20, 30 and so on [19:34] shows up as "speaker" "build-in audio" [19:34] Why is chromium crashing so much ? [19:34] Slart: try ntop [19:35] squid: I'll give that a try. Thanks. [19:35] is it possible to screen a graphical program remotely in ubuntu? [19:35] Also,when i open a video on youtube i get the error : Missing plug-in. [19:35] I have ubuntu extras installed. [19:36] Steevca try html5 or flashplugin installer [19:36] Slart: sudo apt-get install ntop. Research first and see if you like it :) I use it at Home....Google ntop in images and see the screenshoots [19:36] Steevca http://www.youtube.com/html5 [19:36] im running out of time fast [19:37] squid: I think I've used it a couple of years ago just to monitor network usage, didn't know it could do the TOS things also [19:37] How to registerd [19:37] MonkeyDust: I have activated html5 trial,but i get now : The following plug-in has crashed : Shockwave Flash.

[19:39] Resinator, then i'm sorry that i know nothing more. everything looks good but still u have no sound :( i also didnt find anything on google. normally other people already solved most issues. if you are confident enough u may install a newer kernel, maybe even compile the sound module directly in the kernel and not as module. but if u never did that it can be overwhelming === Salman is now known as Salman1223 [19:40] squid: I haven't tried anything yet.. thought I would do some research first, I was actually thinking of ethereal but tcpdump might work just as well [19:40] well i have sound [19:40] its just really quiet [19:40] Slart: I might be able to help you with this. Just a sec. [19:40] testing with a 12.10 live cd may shed some light on if a newer kernel works Resinator [19:41] hmm [19:41] if u turn the volume up to 100% ... does it jump at the end and then works at full volume? [19:41] MonkeyDust: Do you know any alternativ that will work ? [19:41] the internet isnt fast enough here for me to do that [19:41] im not at home [19:41] sounds like a driver bug [19:41] I am checking out Miro as goddard stated. [19:41] hwkiller-netbook, sorry to hear you never found a solution. it has actually happened on no less than two machines with SSDs [19:41] though both react in slightly different ways [19:42] squid: I've got all night.. right now I'm reading about pcap-filters =) [19:42] my ultrabook just acts in a pathologically insane fashion, but it might work again if I can fsck the filesystem and then find a way to remount it with write permissions [19:42] Slart: with wireshark it should very simple... [19:44] squid: I'll take a look at wireshark as well [19:44] in ubunty livecd in my vmware the mouse pointer position differs from the actual position it thinks it is.

I found a nice example on a webpage to get the TOS field. Thanks for your help! [19:48] Slart: Here is something that is going to help you. http://mccltd.net/blog/?p=1199 [19:48] Resinator, you may be right with the kernel version, look her: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128614/volume-range-is-narrow-in-12-04 [19:48] Slart: you are welcome. [19:48] Resinator, second answer [19:48] squid: ah.. more good info.. thanks! [19:49] Steevca flashplugin IS the alternative [19:49] Hi. Does anyone know what version of freetype is installed in the new Ubuntu (12.04)? I still have 10.04, so I can't know. I'd like to know if the version installed in 12.04 has advanced hinting available (for expired patents) that allow microsoft fonts to finally look perfecly hinted. Thanks [19:49] in ubunty livecd in my vmware the mouse pointer position differs from the actual position it thinks it is. Is there a way to correct this ? === Stud is now known as thomas [19:50] maicod: vmware tools [19:50] oh but then it would need to be installed will it survive a reboot :( [19:50] !font| nullucas [19:50] nullucas: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [19:51] maicod: install the vmware-tools... and that should help you a bunch other stuff too [19:51] squid: it will be lost after reload huh? [19:51] nullucas, check yourself >> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/freetype/ [19:51] cause it has not disk to save the tools (it uses a ramdisk) [19:52] OerHeks, ok, thanks [19:52] maicod: I don't think so...Think about it. In a Live CD you are not permanently saving anything to hard drive or anything. Once that CD is out, thats it. === ubuntu is now known as Guest32417 [19:53] hello === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [19:53] I am making a .deb package for a application but I seem to understand how to add to the deb package the System tray Icon ability. Can anyone help me? [19:53] squid: yeah it doesnt remember settings I noticed [19:53] even my root passwd is lost ;) [19:53] *semm to not understand [19:53] thanks for the info though :) [19:54] maicod: That's the purpose of the live CDs. Try it, no need to install. If you like it, install it :) [19:54] hehe indeed I could add a virtual hdd :) [19:55] maicod: Live CDs are life saver too....if you ever forgot your root password, you can always recover it with the live CD..../etc/shadow or /etc/passwd file [19:55] maicod: Good Luck! [19:56] PhoenixSTF: The sysem tray icon ability is what's coded into the program not its .deb package [19:56] maicod: forgot to say, same thing for Windows. very easy to reset password using Linux live CD [19:56] squid: thanks. so if someone can mount someone else hdd he can 'just read what the root password is' in /etc/shadow etc/passwd ? [19:56] sounds unsafe :) [19:57] well time to try to install kernel 3.5 [19:57] maicod: need physical access to the pc, so it's not just like that [19:57] i guess [19:57] NewWorld, yes but I want to make that ability able to be shown on Ubuntu Unity systray, how do i do it without having to gsettings? [19:57] squid: yeah physical access but if say its a colleague on your workplace it CAN be dangerous [19:57] Resinator: careful! :) [19:58] I never knew one could find the root password by just looking at the filesys [19:58] Resinator: I suggest you visit www.upubuntu.com and see how to do it. [19:58] maicod: passwords are hashed [19:58] Resinator, did u try to add a line for your model like described in the post? i remember doing something similar with my old notebook ... ages ago [19:59] oh but how would you then be able to reset the root pw ? [19:59] maicod: sorry I think i may had confused you....You can't see the password in clear text. You simply edit the file and delete the hashed section of the password and then login to the system and perform the passwd command that's it [20:00] squid: Ok but THEN you can access all that old root-users files? [20:01] PhoenixSTF: That ability is in the program, not the .deb package . You have to add that to the program. You can't add that to a .deb pkg [20:02] yeah i added the line [20:02] it did absolutely nothing [20:02] NewWorld, the program already has the ability I want to make UNITY permit it in its white list! [20:03] NewWorld, or am I making myself a bit unclear? [20:03] PhoenixSTF: I think I understand now, but sorry don't know how to help. Good luck) [20:03] NewWorld, ty :) [20:04] I want to add the whitelist permition to system tray on a deb package installation, can anyone help? [20:04] gah.. how do I tell apparmor to stop messing with tcpdump.. it won't let me create a file on local filesystem, even as root [20:04] squid: I have no reasons to fear someone resetting my root pw and reading files (no big secrets). It was just that I though noone could obtain root access by obtaining physical access to your hdd [20:04] PhoenixSTF: you can use gsettings vendor overrides, however you would need to include the default whitelist, which may change over time so might result in inconsistancies (unless you just set it to 'all' that might be fine) [20:04] maicod: only root can access shadow file [20:05] maicod: you are root anyway...arent'y you? [20:05] yeah [20:05] its all my own home usage stuff :) [20:05] PhoenixSTF: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/gsettings-override-2011-07-04-15-45 [20:05] maicod, if u want to prevent this: encrypt your whole file system [20:06] romy420: ah so that would be the option to choose if you have top secret files on your hdd but I don't :) [20:06] i gotta go to the store and get smokes [20:06] thanks I understand it now [20:06] maicod, right :) [20:06] lightning outhere :( [20:07] maicod: location?!? [20:07] Holland [20:07] maicod: Miami :) [20:07] squid you got 4 arms and 4 legs ? :) [20:07] ah hot humid place u are in (loads of lightning I guess) [20:07] and three monitors [20:08] cool :) [20:08] :D [20:08] trism, soo I have to add a schema? [20:08] I created a shared (samba) folder inside of my home folder. I want to give access to anyone (even annonymous) to read,write and delete. I check "Guest access" in the "Share" tab of the folder properties but I can't access the folder from a client device without entering my username and password. [20:09] PhoenixSTF: you don't have to, the other option would be when you app first runs, to append your appname to the whitelist and prompt the user to restart their session [20:09] coruña [20:09] maicod: I like Holland. I been to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Burum and groningen multiple times. Excuse the spelling [20:09] hola alguna chica de madrid? [20:09] squid: cool. Burum is tiny huh? [20:10] maicod: yeah!

How (where?) do I find it in my applications tab? Any help would be quite nice. Tnx, Dave [20:10] I only know it from name. I live in northwest of Holland and Burum is in Northeast [20:10] North rather ;) [20:10] maicod: not a lot of restaurants around....only in Buitenpost (not sure if that is how you say it) [20:10] Or, is this even the correct place to ask such a question 8-) [20:11] yeah Buitenpost sounds fine [20:11] its correct [20:11] PhoenixSTF: I don't necessarily agree, with the schema, you are overriding the unity defaults (and it may be more work to keep up with them), at the app level you are just updating a setting (you could even ask the user first before doing so) [20:12] hola soy gallego y vivo en madrid ahora alguna chica de madrid? [20:12] what is the difference between passwd and passwd- ? [20:12] trism, ya a start scrip or something [20:12] trism, ty :) [20:12] loculinux: wrong place! This is not facebook or twitter [20:12] maicod: passwd- is a backup of passwd [20:13] trism: ah OK [20:13] loculinux: not to add that this channel is only in English [20:14] loculinux: Gracias, espero que no se sienta despreciado. [20:14] Hi. I'm running Ubuntu on Oracle VirtualBox but the resolution is horribly wrong. My screen is 1366x768 but i can't find an option in the display settings... [20:15] dcannell: Use `dpkg -L` to list all installed files by the OpenRocket package. Then find which are the banries (probably in /usr/bin ). These are the program's executables which you can run [20:15] does the word linux imply its x86/x64 only ? [20:15] Also, if anyone knows about virtual box, I can't use the host key :/ [20:15] I mean is it Unix when its for say ARM ? [20:15] maicod: Of course not [20:15] Does VirtualBox uses software similar to VmWare Tools?!? [20:15] perhaps that might be the first thing to check... [20:15] oh but ubuntu is x86/x64 only?

[20:21] maicod: LOL [20:21] Host key isn't working for my VM... [20:21] just trying to help someone :D [20:21] BluesKaj: ah right. the article trism gave says it needs alot of tweaking cause the Pi has armv6 and normal arm port for ubuntu is for armv7 [20:21] hey all, just a quick question. My laptops functions (like brightness control) are on the F keys, and I need to use Fn + an F key to access the functions. Is there any way to swap this around, so that Fn is necessary to get the F keys, and functions do not need Fn ? [20:22] ChilliConCarnage: you might need a combination of keys.... [20:22] fortress, this is implemented in the hardware. can't change that [20:22] fortress...that's interesting... [20:23] romy420: that's good to know....

Somehow the US model has it that way, but the Internation model I have doesn't. Oh well [20:25] hello. I am trying to install nvidia gforce 2 mx 400 drivers from repository. but it cant install it. it says that is for the previus version of xorg, what can I do? sorry for my bad english [20:25] fortress, sounds strange. this is a bios/hardware function in nearly all notebooks. no driver or anythng [20:25] well lets see if this new kernel works! [20:25] * Resinator waits for it to boot [20:25] is WPA2 crackable? [20:26] damn [20:26] installed kernel 3.5 and still the sound is quiet [20:26] Venom: yes, just a matter of time [20:26] jjjavier: install it from additional/restricted drivers [20:26] hello [20:26] are there stable releases of ubuntu? [20:26] lol [20:26] lol [20:26] BluesKaj : it is not there [20:26] Resinator, twenty minutes to compile a new kernel is fast. did u make sure that it really booted 3.5 now? pls type 'uname -a' in a terminal and check the version [20:27] lol [20:27] romy420: I don't think he compiled it the kernel.... [20:27] jjjavier: then the driver you're installing may not work anyway [20:27] caixa: yes its called ubuntu 12.04 [20:27] peace! [20:27] romy420: Resinator is new to linux... [20:27] Hi I am just wondering and please don't shoot me cause I know this is not supposed to be done since microsoft owns the right to the windows key and it would violate linux' opensource character but say for my personal experience only I would like to connect the Windows key to the Gnome start menu, can this be done ? [20:27] anyone as an idea concerning a toshiba satelite C670D witha a problem of intermittent boot without touchpad and keyboard ?under xubuntu 12.4 [20:28] ubunty 12 is far from stable [20:28] squid, that's what i wanted to say :) [20:28] isnt ubuntu based on testing package from debian? [20:28] caixa: you have a support question or just flaming? [20:28] BluesKaj : yes, is the correct driver. In previus versions of ubuntu it was there [20:28] yeah its in there [20:28] kernel 3.5 [20:28] Is nawk an okay sub for awk? [20:28] caixa: ubuntu is synced from debian sid [20:28] maicod: perhaps there is a way of using some sort of shortcut... [20:28] yoritomo .. i have that too. i know no solution other than reboot :( [20:28] iceroot, sid? [20:29] maicod: let me take a look [20:29] caixa: sid = unstalbe [20:29] caixa: yes thats the name of the unstable-version of debian [20:29] caixa: sid = unstable [20:29] squid: ah like setting up shortcuts in Gnome huh. I know ctrl+escape does the same so it should connect that combination the the windows key [20:29] iceroot, yeah so ubuntu is based on unstable builds of debian? [20:29] romy420 looks like to disable acpi resolves de problem but a laptop without batery management ... [20:29] caixa: ubuntu is synced from debian sid [20:29] caixa: as i said already [20:29] squid: cool [20:30] caixa: debian stable is also based on debian unstable [20:30] iceroot, after it leaves "testing" [20:30] yoritomo, thx for the info. i do not care about the issue as it happens maybe once a week, but will keep that in mind [20:30] Brilliant. Unable to mount guest additions [20:30] caixa: and ubuntu has also "testing" [20:30] caixa: called alpha and beta [20:31] iceroot, but its still based off an unstable version of debian [20:31] maicod: I think I found it [20:31] squid: ah cool [20:31] Uh [20:31] caixa: and your technical supportquestion is? [20:31] Nvm XD [20:31] Thanks guys [20:31] iceroot, why dont they base ubuntu off the stable builds and cut the frequent releases [20:31] maicod: try this...it's from a good trusted source...http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/ [20:31] caixa: because debian stable is always outdated [20:32] caixa: if you want something like debian stable, then use debian stable, if you want a debian based system with newer software use ubuntu [20:32] Anyone know where i can get an updated driver for the Atheros 8131 Gigabit Nic? [20:32] squid: I am copying a vmware file to my pc where ubuntu is already installed in. if thats ready I will try it out. thanks ! [20:32] maicod: alright! [20:33] iceroot, so it's just software?

[20:34] caixa: also ubuntu is not so hard on the "only use free software part" because of that you have for example firefox [20:34] yep [20:34] caixa: which is not part on debian [20:34] just really quiet [20:34] technically it's working fine [20:34] K this got even worse now [20:35] caixa: also ubuntu is integrating nonfree software mich easier (like drivers) [20:35] tried the pulseaudio and audio thing [20:35] no errors [20:35] Now my only screen resolution option is 800x600 [20:35] maicod: gotta love 802.11g [20:35] romy420: intel hda ?

I am not sure if it is a bug in ubuntu-server or just wrong settings on my fresh ubuntu-server 12.04 box. I use encryption for the boot drive and also an additional encrypted volume due to the entries in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab (see. http://paste.debian.net/181178/ ). When I open the luks volume manually with "tcryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb secret" the passphrase input is "hidden". [20:42] During the boot the passphrase input for the additional volume is "echoed" to the display what I don't want. is it a know bug or do I need to modify the setting? Thank you in advance for any hints. [20:42] romy420: I already tried to help him unbder a differnt nick , but he doesn't want to help himself .... he just keeps complaining [20:43] good evening fellas, i just returned from vacation and after an update my microphone acts weird. alle sounds from application are forwarded to my input device so people in skype/teamspeak/mumble hear me+all applications. very strage error, any1 have any ideas (running 10.04 ubuntu with sb xfi) [20:43] help help help, I need to partition my hard-drive, save my files to a media partition, and install the latest Ubuntu, but I'm not sure where to begin?

So, after installing fglrx I get a weird "Unsupported hardware" watermark on my screen. Not too sure what that is, but how do I get rid of that? The driver works perfectly >.< [20:48] So I guess I need to know how to partition an encrypted hard drive [20:49] romy420: was it a driver/module problem , do you recall ? [20:49] i have added myself to group root, but i continue not being able to have write permissions on dirs owned by root, anyone can explain why? [20:49] BluesKaj, i had to enter my model and some parameter in an alsa config file .. that was in 2007 or so [20:50] j #ubuntu [20:50] simplew: Check the _group_ permissions on those dirs [20:50] NewWorld: i have, see drwxrwxr-x 38 root root 4096 Jul 17 22:30 git [20:50] simplew: you need to re-login after adding a user to a group [20:50] simplew, most people use 'sudo' to gain root permissions === St0ne_ is now known as St0ne [20:50] llutz: oh...

Does anyone know who deals with our repositories/pools when we have a problem please? [20:54] romy420: unless he's on 12.10 [20:54] BluesKaj, yeah maybe. i did not check this. then bugs should be expected :) [20:54] speaker-test -c 2 48000 -D hw:0,3 sends audio out to the hdmi connected tv successfully. However I cannot see this option in settings/audio/output [20:54] So how do I partition an encrypted hard drive? [20:55] my ubuntu doesn't connect to wireless via that lovely GUI app. i had to manually turn it on, and then use wpa_supplicant [20:55] I have a problem. I'm trying to install a KDE application on 12.04 which is showing as not available when I try to apt-get install it - I specifically pull from the gb archive, and I'm wondering if anyone else using another mirror is getting this issue too.

[20:58] romy420: much more than 12.04 was at alpha 3 [20:58] i installed sysutils.. is this a problem? [20:59] BluesKaj: It says it can't, because windows is hibernated. I know that modifying the files on the Windows partition could cause problems, but what about just read/copy access? [20:59] romy420: I'm on kde , but the ubuntu guys will probly agree with me [20:59] excelsior, backup your date to an exernal hd then try to resize the lvm or the partitions inside of it with gparted [20:59] Mahmoud: ifup is what is called from /etc/init/network-interface.conf by upstart [21:00] BluesKaj, good to know. though i have worked to long to install everything i want to try an upgrade o-O [21:01] genii-around: i see no ifup here http://codepad.org/Xx8RPDkY [21:01] oh, it's there [21:02] hi, I'm installing Football manager 2012 on ubuntu, but i need to install .net framework 2.0, but it returns your computer is 64 bit. you can't install.

[21:02] 12.04 [21:02] theadmin: I'm using winetricks still. [21:02] dfguk: Maybe because aplay uses ALSA directly, but most of GNOME uses Pulseaudio? [21:03] genii-around: i basically can't see the wireless applet in my status bar (the one that tells me which ESSIDs are there, and how to connect to them) [21:03] yusufaliboz: Hm... This could be due to the fact that .NET 2.0 is very, very old... [21:03] theadmin: oh sorry. how can i use winetricks for my problem? [21:04] yusufaliboz: Oh, well -- winetricks has a "Install Windows DLL or tool" (or somesuch -- can't remember) option, which has various .NET versions. [21:04] if my computer boots while my monitor is off, i get set to 1024x768 resolution. that and 800x600 are my only options, even though my monitor is 1920x1080 natively [21:04] theadmin, do you think there may be a workaround?

[21:07] theadmin: It returns your os is 64bit. [21:07] BluesKaj: I might not have been very clear. I can access the files just fine when Windows is shut down, but when it's hibernated, Ubuntu can't mount it. I haven't been accessing the files previously; I was wondering if there was a way to read/copy from (but not write to) a hibernated NTFS drive. [21:07] yusufaliboz: Oh... Hm, okay, sorry, no idea then. Try to join #winehq and ask there [21:07] theadmin: ok. thanks for helps.

According to Wikipedia, I should be able to do 16EB. I can't find an Ubuntu posting about the limits. Any ideas on how to figure out what the problem is? [21:19] I'm working with a 4TB device. [21:20] Relondo: thanks for clearing that up , I've never experienced that situation ...if you have it hibernating on the same pc then it's suspended to ram , not a good situation for 2 OSs [21:21] BluesKaj: This was completely unknown to me. Do you have any idea how much RAM Win7 would be using when hibernated? [21:21] wat [21:21] im pretty sure hibernation writes ram to disk [21:22] wN that is correct. [21:22] wN It couldn't power off unless it did that [21:22] i love being right [21:22] Yeah, that sorta came to mind... [21:22] kmwhite: What are you using to make the volume with? [21:22] what is the name of the default windows manager used in Ubuntu ? Is it Gnome ? [21:23] maicod: Nautilus? Or is that the file manager... [21:23] Relondo, what exactly are u trying to achieve? [21:23] think thats the file manager [21:23] maicod Gnome [21:23] wowstargate: OK thanks ! [21:23] romy420: Read and copy access to my hibernated Win7 partition from inside Ubuntu. [21:23] yup [21:24] genii-around, used fdisk to partition (which I think I found a bug in...) and then ran the command "sudo pvcreate /dev/md127p1" to create the Physical Volume. [21:24] Relondo, i know but why would u need that? accessing the content of the RAM of your windows session. [21:24] kmwhite: Use instead gdisk [21:24] ( or parted ) [21:25] xx [21:25] romy420: I have various files that I like to use on both OSes, and don't have the space to maintain two copies. I am talking about the hard drive here, not the RAm. [21:26] genii-around, I'll look into it. Do you think that will fix the problem? I.E., could it be related to MBR partitioning rather than GPT? [21:27] kmwhite: I'm pretty sure it's fdisk limiting it to 2TB [21:27] Relondo, the hibernation file contains everyt5hing that was in the RAM when hibernating. so maybe u just want to access your windows partition [21:27] genii-around, Odd. The partitions were created. I'll give it a try -- ty! [21:27] romy420: Yes, that's exactly what I want to do. [21:27] Anyway, thanks for the distro people. Even though Ubuntu's not my favorite, it's definetly the distro I suggest for newbies and install on comps of such.

[21:28] theadmin: suse is also friendly, as is mandriva === rockets is now known as zastern [21:29] ActionParsnip: SuSE has a huge fail with the untranslated installer -- some newbies (those who don't speak English) may fail to install it. Mandriva is just... horrifying in terms of having a paid version. [21:29] ...what would be the fastest distro? [21:29] Relondo, i never tried _that_ ... ntfs partitions should be accessible through nautilus but i dont have any ntfs here :P so i'm not sure [21:29] theadmin: Mandriva has a PAID VERSION!? [21:29] theadmin: its not anymore, there is a free one :) [21:30] romy420: No, the partition is accessible normally, when windows is shut down, but not when it's hibernated. [21:30] Relondo: It does indeed. As well as a free one. [21:30] Anyway, we got offtopic here :D [21:30] theadmin: I shun Mandriva. Dear god, how can any devs stomach working on that? [21:30] theadmin: http://www.mandriva.com/downloads/2011/ fill your boots [21:31] Relondo, ofcourse when it is hybernated, you cannot acces it from linux.. how do you start linux when windows is hybernated? [21:31] Oerheks: I can have both Oses hibernated at once, if I so choose. [21:31] ActionParsnip: Again, offtopic. And no thanks, I'll stay with K/X/L/Ubuntu [21:32] OerHeks: And yes, I know editing the drive while hibernated would be bad, but could I just read/copy from it? [21:33] OerHeks: *and impossible [21:33] how do I start the D-BUS daemon ? [21:33] theadmin: well, there is paid support for ubuntu, same difference [21:33] ActionParsnip: Hehe, I guess :) [21:33] I want to make more room for my 12.04 install, but I'm not sure if it's possible after looking at this screenshot from GParted http://i.imgur.com/abKVQ.png [21:34] detig: resize the extended partition (the blue lines) [21:34] maicod: It has linux-swap as part of it [21:35] detig, theres lots of room there, although theres a small chunk in the middle thats wasted [21:35] detig: yes but it can be resized to the right cause the first part is not used inside it [21:36] click on the word Extended (in the list below the graphic) [21:36] then resize it to smaller size by sliding the left blue edge to the right [21:37] until it can't go further anymore (cause it hits the swap partition) [21:38] when I try to run gconftool-2 it says that D-BUS daemon isnt running .

There's select-editor you could run as your user too (not sure if there's a system-wide setting for it; probably is) [21:59] of i chedk /etc/environment and /etc/profile but i didnt see anythign declared...

[22:17] if the HD is failing.. it may have failed so badly the system cant boot. try to recover with a live cd. [22:18] Dr_Willis: it's not the hdd, but the mobo. Hence why I want to put it in a different laptop [22:20] Could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com' [22:20] Seems I need ipv4 to get security updates? :( [22:20] Its hard for us to tell what you should with failing hardware. If the MB is going bad.. then remove it and put it in somthing else. [22:21] Dr_Willis: I'm not asking about the hardware. The hdd is fine, I'm putting it in a laptop that's also fine. However it doesn't boot in that laptop, although it does in the starting to fail other laptop [22:22] So you have allready Moved it then.. You PUT it in a differnt laptop.. :) [22:23] whats differnt about the 2 laptops? video cards? cpu? whats the exact error messages [22:23] Dr_Willis, well yeah, I tried to, it didn't work, so I took it out again... but yeah =) [22:23] use a live cd, fsck the hard drive. verify its all there. [22:25] I don't get an error message unfortunately. they're both intel cpu with ati gpu combo, but the one I want to use is older. core duo vs core 2 duo. I could boot from the hdd on the original machine fine afterwards, so it's all there [22:25] in safe mode, I get 2 of the loading messages, then the screen goes black with 2 dots, and nothing much happens [22:26] ikonia, go fuck yourself [22:26] NAW [22:27] 0.0 [22:27] I hope someone is going to block the guy for that.

[23:03] or you're in ssh session in a remote shell [23:03] exutux: yes [23:03] I'm ssh session remotely [23:04] rsser: so you cannot open display in that condition [23:04] but I want to open software with interface on client [23:04] if you're in ssh you have to login in ssh session, exportin X so ssh -X user@ipremote [23:04] from the shell [23:04] you cannot in that way [23:04] exutux: I'm on windows accessing linux shell [23:04] I'm using putty [23:05] rsser: you need to set your display variable to be the DISPLAY of the remote desktop. if you want ti appear on the remote desktop.. How are you seeing these apps anyway? [23:05] rax-, yes it probably is. Depends on what kernel you're running now - you can find out from a terminal by typing uname -r [23:05] in ssh X session yiu can run gui window in you're local machine not in remote [23:05] rsser: why are you doing all this song and dance anyway? [23:05] because I haven't NXPROGRAM [23:06] to access ubuntu by gui [23:06] rsser: if you want remote controll of the remote linux box you could just use vnc, or teamviewer, or other ways [23:06] BarkingFish: Yea, I'm on 3.2.0-26 atm but haven't restarted since before the update to 3.2.0-25 or 3.2.0- 26 [23:06] Does LogMeIn support Linux? [23:06] rsser: vnc, or teamviewer work well. theres otehr ways as well. what do you need to run on the remote box anyway? [23:06] okay [23:06] rsser: if you install and run xming you can tell putty to allow X access and run GUI apps :) [23:07] thank you [23:07] okay [23:07] ActionParsnip: thank you [23:07] xming+ssh/putty = you can view single apps on the local box.. that are RUnning on the remote box.

Does anyone know how to check a Google Chrome extension for malware? In particular: http://nisza.org/chromium/smooth-gestures-0.15.4.crx [23:08] xming isn't in repository! [23:09] rsser: xming is a X server for windows... so that makes sence... [23:09] lol [23:09] Tbuntu: Ask yourself why it isn't in the Chrome extensions store? [23:09] Tbuntu: What do they have to gain by hosting it themselves? And do you trust them? [23:09] Tbuntu: There are many reasons they would host it themselves, and none of them benefit you [23:10] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to set the putty. I'm SSH putty settings [23:10] that is a remake of Smooth Gestures; the original one was removed from the Chrome store because it contained spyware. This one purports to have the spyware removed [23:10] I've checked x11 forward ing [23:10] rsser: you need to clarify exactly what your end goal is. you are jumping around from one idea/question to another. [23:10] rsser: ahh, if the client is Ubuntu then you don't need putty. You can connect in terminal using: ssh -X user@server and when you run GUI apps, it will show on the client system. [23:11] hello there [23:11] Dr_Willis: I'm really sorry [23:11] rsser: and clarify what OS is on each end of this.. [23:11] okay [23:11] if you're in ssh you have to login in ssh session, exportin X so ssh -X user@ipremote [23:11] I'm on windows 7 premium accessing ubuntu 11.04 [23:11] rsser: and is this linux box on the local lan? or somewhere else? [23:12] I'm sorry again, Dr_Willis [23:12] both computers(windows and ubuntu) are on the same network [23:12] rsser: you can SEE both monitors from where you are sitting? [23:12] the computers are notebooks [23:13] notebook1 with windows and notebook2 with ubuntu [23:13] note1 accessing note2 by putty [23:13] Dr_Willis: yeah, I can [23:13] I'm able to see screen of the notebooks [23:14] screens* [23:14] rsser: You can use 'synergy' to use one keyboard/mouse to controll both machines.. if you just want to mouse over to the right and controll the linux box as if you were using Its keyboard/mouse.. ;) [23:14] why you don't enable remote desktop in ubuntu then? [23:14] rsser: you can use SSH to run apps on the remote box and have them appar on the windows box IF you use xming on windows... [23:14] rsser: you can use VNC to have the remote desktop appear in a window on the local box.... [23:15] rsser: So now ;) what do you want to do with the 2 machines.. [23:15] * Dr_Willis dosent think he missed anything.. [23:15] I want to use the putty from note1, controll the note2 [23:15] ssh to the linux box and use whatever cli commands you want then.. so whats the issue? [23:15] Hi am tring to compare the contents of two sourcode directories, problem is that in one all lines end up in ^M ( presumably different encoding) this makes the diff useless as no two lines are the same. How can I convert one directory to UTF-8 [23:16] ccolorado: DOS vs Linux/Unix line feeds theres unix2dos and dos2unix commands i recall... [23:16] Dr_Willis: what kind of protocoll i should use? [23:16] rsser: depends on exactly what you mean by 'controll the note2' [23:17] magic or xdm? [23:17] I dont know what you are refering to magic or xdm.. [23:17] i will show you [23:17] ccolorado convmv as for the conversion, or diff or meld [23:18] Dr_Willis: http://postimage.org/image/czpxcf7l1/ [23:19] Dr_Willis: thanks [23:19] what options are they? [23:19] ghostchick: not following :S [23:20] remote x11 autentication protocol => should I use mit-magic-code or XDM-authorization-1? [23:20] Dr_Willis: ? [23:21] I have two wireless cards on my laptop, one built in, one usb. I w [23:21] It accomplishes what I need. Network Manager establishes the wireless connection on ath0 and no longer does anything with the internal card. [23:21] wat [23:21] i didnt type that second bit [23:22] rsser: x forwaring via Putty will do you NO good - if you do not have XMING installed on windows. [23:22] Can we update from 12.04 to 12.10 Alpha 3 ? [23:22] rsser: for a local lan, you are most likely better off just using VNC. [23:22] Dr_Willis: Now, I got it. I need xming installed on windows [23:22] sorry, let me start again: I have two wireless cards, one internal, one usb. I'm trying to connect to a wifi network with one, and create a hotspot with the other, effectively a wireless repeater. However, network manager is refusing to distinguish between the two cards. How do I go about this? [23:22] Or it has to be downloaded and installed ? [23:22] i'm on lan wireless [23:23] Steevca: ask in #ubuntu+1 i imagine the answer is yes. ;) [23:23] Dr_Willis: Sorry and thanks. [23:24] Do you know when the Unity 3D will be ready?
