| exutux | hey guys do you remember where is screenseaver satting on unity 12.04? I cannot find it...maybe I'm well done | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| exutux | setting* | 00:02 |
| L3top | brontosaurusrex: 3 cameras 5 audio sources... sorry | 00:03 |
| ki4ro_ | exutux: Don't believe there is a screensaver in 12.04 | 00:03 |
| exutux | ki4ro_: why I have a gnome-screesaver enabled then? | 00:03 |
| brontosaurusrex | L3top, kdenlive? | 00:03 |
| PlowRox | you can randomly change the desktop pics tho | 00:03 |
| === HiddenKnowledge is now known as Guest90058 | ||
| L3top | I started on kdenlive, and finished in cinelerra I believe... it was one project a while ago... the particulars are escaping me. | 00:04 |
| lenny__ | did the gnome team remove the screensaver setting too? | 00:04 |
| ki4ro_ | exutux: Have a look here: http://www.howtogeek.com/114027/how-to-add-screensavers-to-ubuntu-12.04/ | 00:04 |
| exutux | ki4ro_: maybe some package that I've installed get it like dependencie | 00:05 |
| exutux | ki4ro_: I don't want add it, I want to disable black screen after some minutes... | 00:05 |
| exutux | so I'll try to unistall gnome-screensaver then | 00:05 |
| lenny__ | I see. The gnome team though that selecting the kind of screen saver was too complicated for the user | 00:05 |
| lenny__ | and so they yanked all out | 00:06 |
| ki4ro_ | exutux: Look in power settings | 00:06 |
| oblenis | how to I get Bell's 4g mobile internet stick working? I went in to mobile broadband and setup and saved and restarted and it is showing a connection on the stick but not feeding it through | 00:06 |
| exutux | I've looked it and it's all disabled... :) I killed and uninstalled gnome-scresaver | 00:07 |
| === BaconAttackFood is now known as BaconAttack_ | ||
| oblenis | ideas anyone? | 00:07 |
| lenny__ | is the stick sticked in properly^ | 00:07 |
| oblenis | lenny__, yes blinking blue | 00:07 |
| exutux | will see what happens, so thanks ki4ro_ | 00:07 |
| ki4ro_ | exutux: You're welcome, good luck | 00:07 |
| soulstitchmmo | is there a sudo logout command? (Well an equivalent) | 00:08 |
| exutux | soulstitchmmo: ? | 00:08 |
| soulstitchmmo | well I can sudo reboot to reboot | 00:08 |
| exutux | what do you mean? | 00:08 |
| soulstitchmmo | is there a sudo logout? | 00:08 |
| oblenis | any other ideas lenny__ | 00:09 |
| lenny__ | not really because I've never used broadband thingies but I guess you can look in the usual places | 00:09 |
| lenny__ | like open a terminal and type dmesg | 00:10 |
| ns_nazri | check lsusb | 00:10 |
| lenny__ | then unstick the stick, wait a while, re-stickk the stick | 00:10 |
| lenny__ | then dmesg again and see if anything you can read is an error message | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Praxi: np dude, great first step if sound goes screwy | 00:10 |
| ns_nazri | check your device | 00:10 |
| lenny__ | but the blue light surely indicates proper sticking in, so that might not be the issue | 00:11 |
| W4sp | exutux: you can disable the gnome screensaver with gnome-screensaver-command -d | 00:12 |
| exutux | W4sp: I've uninstalled it... but thanks | 00:12 |
| xpistos | can I upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and then to 12.04? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | xpistos: absolutely | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | xpistos: tha's the way you would get to Precise from Natty without a clean install | 00:13 |
| xpistos | When I try to upgrade to 11.10 it says the my third party entrioes are disabled but when I look it is checked. | 00:13 |
| oblenis | when using dmesg what am I looking for? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | xpistos: disable all PPAs you have added, it can help | 00:14 |
| lenny__ | oblenis: do this: reboot the system without the stick inserted, then insert it and look at the last messages | 00:15 |
| lenny__ | with dmesg | 00:15 |
| oblenis | ok lenny__ I'll be back | 00:16 |
| xpistos | ActionParsnip: should I uncheck everything in Other Software? | 00:16 |
| === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 | ||
| Crawford | I am having a little bit of bother with my sound, sometimes when I boot to ubuntu the volume is so low I can barely hear it other times it is perfect... I have already checked alsamixer for muted or low channels and there seems to be no difference between when volume is very quite or normal | 00:18 |
| oblenis | lenny__, no go not showing up still, but get the blue lights | 00:19 |
| lenny__ | look at the dmesg output. now the last messages should belong to the stick | 00:19 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis:check lsusb | 00:20 |
| ns_nazri | first | 00:20 |
| lenny__ | if you see something suspicious ask or google | 00:20 |
| elfMobile | so I used kdenlive.... it does what I want. I just tested it with 3 little clips.... but I can't output H.264. Any idea what package I need to install? | 00:20 |
| oblenis | lsusb how far on the list is it? | 00:20 |
| lenny__ | lsusb is a command | 00:20 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, ffmpeg ? | 00:20 |
| lenny__ | it shows you the usb connections but I don't think it's going to be useful to you | 00:21 |
| ns_nazri | ok go networking manager | 00:21 |
| oblenis | it shows the device in lsusb ns_nazri | 00:21 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: already have ffmpeg installed | 00:21 |
| lenny__ | what you're looking for should be some error messages near the end of dmesg | 00:21 |
| oblenis | dmesg had no errors | 00:21 |
| lenny__ | that is, if you inserted the stick last after the reboot | 00:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | ehm, from memory (but it was some time ago): when you save project with kdenlive | 00:21 |
| lenny__ | can you see the device being inserted? | 00:21 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis: go networking manager | 00:22 |
| ns_nazri | and setting | 00:22 |
| oblenis | ns_ ok then | 00:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | its EDL is actually a script ..., and i think i piped that to custom ffmpeg command line .. | 00:22 |
| lenny__ | yeah do the networking manager too | 00:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | but i dont recall details | 00:22 |
| lenny__ | maybe you just have to type in a password or something | 00:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, basically someplayer thatscript pipe ffmpeg some commands | 00:23 |
| oblenis | I asked bell no user or pass req'd | 00:23 |
| lenny__ | so maybe you have to set the default route to it? | 00:24 |
| oblenis | ns_nazri, am I looking for something specific in settings? | 00:24 |
| oblenis | default route? | 00:24 |
| oblenis | kinda noob to using the sticks with linux | 00:24 |
| lenny__ | it's the setting that chooses what device is used as output | 00:24 |
| freedom_ | ok my fellow linux users..i got a problem and i am pretty sure someone can help me out in this room..my room mate got a laptop with ubuntu 12.04 on it..his signal keeps dropping and has to restart his computer to get back on the internet.Goes down like every 30 minutes..give or take.any suggestions ? | 00:25 |
| ns_nazri | Select the Mobile Broadband tab. | 00:25 |
| oblenis | ns_nazri, ok there now | 00:25 |
| ns_nazri | Click Add | 00:25 |
| oblenis | ok | 00:25 |
| oblenis | does it make a difference if the stick is for 4g network? | 00:26 |
| lenny__ | freedom_: I don't know but it seems one of those things that go away after a kernel upgrade or two or a kernel downgrade | 00:26 |
| ns_nazri | try connect first | 00:26 |
| freedom_ | ok | 00:27 |
| freedom_ | thanks | 00:27 |
| lenny__ | like, try an earlier disto | 00:27 |
| brontosaurusrex | lenny__, how about wicd? | 00:27 |
| lenny__ | just with the live cd and see if it's better/worse | 00:27 |
| W4sp | freedom_ : this might be related to power management? | 00:27 |
| MrUnagi | how can i kill the default dm | 00:28 |
| QubitSmuggler | killall (prgram) | 00:29 |
| armaan | how can i kill nohup jobs | 00:29 |
| MrUnagi | what is the name of the desktop manager | 00:29 |
| DeltaHeavyz | MrUnagi: /etc/init.d/gdm stop I think there's a better way to do it | 00:29 |
| soulstitchmmo | I have 58.57gb of unallocated hd space, I can add it to my windows partition, but can't add it to my ubuntu partition, how do I fix this? | 00:29 |
| MrUnagi | i thought they stopped using gome | 00:29 |
| MrUnagi | ultimately I'm trying to force a resolution | 00:29 |
| DeltaHeavyz | MrUnagi: GDM != GNOME. GDM is what's over top of 'X' and below things like GNOME and Unity | 00:30 |
| armaan | how can i kill nohup jobs ??? | 00:30 |
| DeltaHeavyz | IIRC | 00:30 |
| lenny__ | GDM is gnome | 00:30 |
| DeltaHeavyz | armaan: ps -A | grep nohup | 00:30 |
| DeltaHeavyz | kill <pid> | 00:30 |
| lenny__ | like, GDM is 100% gnome | 00:30 |
| MrUnagi | how do i stop unity | 00:30 |
| MrUnagi | nm ill google | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MrUnagi: do you not want to use Unity? | 00:31 |
| lenny__ | I would like to know how to stop Unity too | 00:31 |
| MrUnagi | I'm trying to force a resolution | 00:31 |
| lenny__ | like forever | 00:31 |
| DeltaHeavyz | lenny__: Sort of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Display_Manager | 00:31 |
| DeltaHeavyz | Two links there | 00:31 |
| DeltaHeavyz | Unity uses GDM | 00:31 |
| lenny__ | it's along story but basically GDM loads a full gnome session reagrdless | 00:31 |
| jremyd | !rules | 00:31 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 00:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | lenny__, some other flavor of buntu or change distro perhaps | 00:31 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavyz: lightdm | 00:32 |
| ns_nazri | go the menu of, go networking symbol and click connect | 00:32 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: hmm... I saw the script output option.... but the script just calls a render program..... it doesn't seem to be using pipes | 00:32 |
| DeltaHeavyz | exutux: What about lightdm? | 00:32 |
| Crawford | Could anyone help me solve low audio volume | 00:32 |
| exutux | !info lightdm | DeltaHeavyz | 00:32 |
| ubottu | DeltaHeavyz: lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 94 kB, installed size 432 kB | 00:32 |
| lenny__ | because if you don't let GDM load a full gnome session you hate handicapped people. Lennart Poettering said that | 00:32 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis: go the menu of, go networking symbol and click connect | 00:32 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, the easy way to export to something uncompressed and then use ffmpeg on that | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 00:33 |
| lenny__ | if you want the video link on youtube I'll post it | 00:33 |
| Crawford | !audio > Crawford | 00:33 |
| ubottu | Crawford, please see my private message | 00:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | +is | 00:33 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, just a moment :-) | 00:33 |
| oblenis | ns_ thats whats weird, when I set it up and finalize it, it does not list it under the networks | 00:33 |
| DeltaHeavyz | I'm lost here. Anyway I havn't had to do this kind of stuff recently but when I last did it it was 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' | 00:33 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis: you must try again and again | 00:33 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7d6100747af920b65e0e85d7f47c4b6750b65e0a | 00:33 |
| W4sp | DealtaHeavyz: gdm is the display manager that provides you with a screen to enter the login credentials and offers you a choice of desktop manager to select prior login. | 00:34 |
| oblenis | ns_ is this a defect? | 00:34 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavyz: 12.04? | 00:34 |
| lenny__ | look, you can say waht you want but if Leannrst says something that's it | 00:34 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: ouch... I have the space so why not ;-) | 00:34 |
| lenny__ | we're nobody to argue with Lennart | 00:34 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavyz: precise uses lightdm by default | 00:34 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Sometimes it is fine when I boot up then other times it is so low I can barely hear it | 00:34 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis: what mean defect | 00:35 |
| lenny__ | W4sp: the problem is that to do that it has to load a full gnome session | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: if you run: alsamixer are all the levels maxed and unmuted? | 00:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, thats dumbproof method, also people always want some weird formats at the end, so you can always just take that fat master | 00:35 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Almost all of them | 00:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | without going back into editor | 00:35 |
| === DeltaHeavyz is now known as DeltaHeavy | ||
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, some I wonder if they need maxed | 00:35 |
| W4sp | DeltaHeavyz: You also do not 'kill' a dm, you usually restart it. If you want to end up in a text mode after boot you need to disable gdm. | 00:35 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: what is a good uncompressed format? | 00:36 |
| elfMobile | I see Raw DV, is that uncompressed? | 00:36 |
| lenny__ | if you have pulseaudio enabled (you probably do) you can't use alsamixer | 00:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, what options do you have? fv1? | 00:36 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Also when it is being low it has only one channel to work with which cannot move | 00:36 |
| lenny__ | you have to use PaVu whatever it's called | 00:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, dnxhd might be good intermediate as well | 00:37 |
| exutux | W4sp: or set text option in grub2 | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | lenny__: you can, try it and see | 00:37 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, s/pdif | 00:37 |
| ns_nazri | oblenis: working | 00:37 |
| lenny__ | I mean you shouldn't use alsamixer if you have pulseaudio | 00:37 |
| exutux | lenny__: why not? | 00:37 |
| exutux | you can | 00:38 |
| elfMobile | hmm... a lot of these formats are unsupported.... like I can't export to Flash because libmp3lame | 00:38 |
| lenny__ | pulseaudio is another fine Lennart Poettering's creation and you make him cry if you run alsamixer | 00:38 |
| simplew | can anyone tell me if its already possible to make video calls using pidgin/empathy, to see if the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/pidgin/+bug/971867 is somehow fixed ? | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 971867 in pidgin (Ubuntu) "No voice call or video call possible, due to recent farsight->farstream transition" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:38 |
| DaveTheJoker | hello | 00:38 |
| W4sp | lenny__ : you can run xdm, lightweightdm as a display manager and run your desktop session as needed. | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: try: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null | 00:38 |
| elfMobile | I see HDV, Raw DV, AVI DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, XVid4, H.264, RealVideo, Theora, WebM | 00:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, otherwise: on win; ut-video (ffmpeg has decoder i think), mac; prores 444, 422, animation rle rgb, ffmpeg; x264 lossless or slightly lossy, there is plenty of them | 00:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, that are slightly lossy or really lossless | 00:38 |
| brophat | see if one of you can figure out what this guy is saying; http://davidcortijo.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-solve-the-wifi-interface-using-ralink-rt3090-card/ | 00:39 |
| tyrant91101 | I'm trying to set up triple monitors on a desktop with a GTX 670 and when I start gnome classic it creates a ton of bars (top menu bar and the bottom bar with the workspaces) on the first (left most monitor) and the other 2 monitors are white (no x cursor which suggest X worked) | 00:39 |
| DaveTheJoker | I am trying to download ubuntu server and I hit 64bit download, but the name of the download file includes "amd64.iso" | 00:39 |
| DaveTheJoker | I want to use this on a intel processor | 00:39 |
| tyrant91101 | I have the latest nvidia-current drivers | 00:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, this are all final formats, perhaps you could hacksor around h.264 , all depends on your sources really | 00:39 |
| DaveTheJoker | does amd64 mean it only works on AMD? | 00:39 |
| exutux | nope | 00:39 |
| W4sp | exutux, lenny__, DeltaHeavyz: I read your response but that's just too fast for me to respond to all of you. | 00:39 |
| cfhowlett | DaveTheJoker: it is the correct file. "amd64" runs intel 64 | 00:39 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: ..... oh Lossless / HQ was a separate selection. I see FFV1 lossless (video) + FLAC (sound) | 00:40 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, that will work | 00:40 |
| DaveTheJoker | oh ok, thanks, thats just what I was looking for | 00:40 |
| elfMobile | that and MPEG-2 I-frame only (video) + MP2 (sound) | 00:40 |
| cfhowlett | DaveTheJoker: good luck. have fun,. | 00:40 |
| exutux | DaveTheJoker: it works if you have a 64bit cpu | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tyrant91101: what version of the nvidia drivers does nvidia-settings say you are using? | 00:40 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, go for ffv1 | 00:40 |
| DaveTheJoker | oh I do I plan on putting this on a IBM x3550 server | 00:40 |
| brophat | there are only four steps in this process, see if one of you can figure it out. http://davidcortijo.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-solve-the-wifi-interface-using-ralink-rt3090-card/ | 00:40 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Okay I did that.. audio is still low | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: reboot to apply | 00:41 |
| Crawford | ah lol | 00:41 |
| elfMobile | hopefully then I can throw this on my other machine that has a good ffmpeg installed and has 6 cores | 00:41 |
| tyrant91101 | ActionParsnip: 295.53 | 00:41 |
| W4sp | exutux: This is only a temporary measure. You would normally disable the dm so it does not run as a daemon. | 00:41 |
| elfMobile | brontosaurusrex: thanks for the help | 00:42 |
| exutux | W4sp: if set "text" option in /etc/default/grub it's a static measure | 00:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, you want latest x264 and ffmpeg (from git) | 00:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | elfMobile, no problem | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tyrant91101: you could try adding the xorg edgers updates ppa (less fresh more stable) but not the xorg edgers ppa itself | 00:42 |
| L3top | so tyrant91101 you are on nvidia-current-updates yes? (note to ActionParsnip) | 00:42 |
| exutux | W4sp: and you have a text login | 00:42 |
| lenny__ | no, you need the login screen to launch a screenreader because some people can't read | 00:43 |
| lenny__ | it would be rude for you not to have a screenreader enabled even if you don't need it | 00:43 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: no nvidia-current-updates is not isntalled | 00:43 |
| L3top | !info nvidia-current | 00:44 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 295.40-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 32650 kB, installed size 96032 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia) | 00:44 |
| tyrant91101 | wait sorry the version is 295.40 | 00:44 |
| L3top | ok... that changes things. | 00:44 |
| W4sp | exutux: :-) many ways may be but to disable the dm is the right one. GRUB serves to local machine while the dm can serve others as well. | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tyrant91101: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:45 |

| tyrant91101 | ActionParsnip: thank you, give me a second to try it | 00:45 |
| W4sp | exutus: It is also poor style to operate the OS through the boot manager and I do not recommend to proceed as you suggested for the reasons I mentioned earlier. | 00:46 |
| exutux | W4sp: so the right question, then is, if don't need GUI why did you install it? :) | 00:48 |
| simplew | did anyone managed in PIDGIN to login into a hotmail account using XMPP? | 00:48 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Thank you for your help mate, sound seems to be working again although typically I have to reboot to get audio to work at normal volume levels anyway so I am not sure if that fix you applied did the trick or if it was roll of the reboot dice | 00:48 |
| exutux | W4sp: and gdm it's only a login manager | 00:49 |
| lenny__ | because some people somewhere in the world need a gui to operate computers | 00:49 |
| lenny__ | so you have to have a gui | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: sweet hope its the permanent fix :) | 00:49 |
| exutux | lenny__: and so why you want disable GUI if you don't need? | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | exutux: or why even install one :) | 00:49 |
| Salman | 00:49 | |
| DeltaHeavy | exutux: Ubuntu Server doesn't even come with one last time I checked | 00:49 |
| Crawford | ActionParsnip, Your a star.. Oh and its Paddy_NI from Ireland currently in canada sorting my brother in-laws ubuntu install | 00:50 |
| lenny__ | because you're being selfish. it's part of the human nature but when Lennart will rule the world | 00:50 |
| W4sp | exutux, lenny__ : The question was how to kill a dm. | 00:50 |
| exutux | lenny__: if I need a GUI I install a desktop version, if I don't need I use server version or some minimal... | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Crawford: nice, could've done it via SSH :) | 00:50 |
| Crawford | ah :-) | 00:50 |
| exutux | lenny__: you're only speaking about filosofy... | 00:50 |
| L3top | !info nvidia-current-updates | LjL can you explain how !info displays wrong version information such as... | 00:50 |
| ubottu | LjL can you explain how !info displays wrong version information such as...: nvidia-current-updates (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 295.40-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 32650 kB, installed size 96014 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia) | 00:50 |
| tyrant91101 | ActionParsnip: it worked, thank you! Is there a way to set the primary screen in gnome-shell? | 00:50 |
| exutux | W4sp: well :) | 00:50 |

| loconut | hello. I have a new Apple trackpad on Ubuntu 12.04 and I have the basics working, 2 finger scroll, etc. but I'm getting mostly old docs for 10.04 on google searches and can't figure out whether I should be using evdev or synaptics or even how to change it to synaptics in 12.04 | 00:51 |
| loconut | anyone here familiar with 12.04 and the apple trackpad? | 00:51 |
| L3top | LjL: as apt-cache policy reveals Candidate: 295.49-0ubuntu0.1 | 00:51 |
| loconut | point me to some current docs maybe? | 00:52 |
| Salman | ActionParsnip: Also have computer problem | 00:52 |

| W4sp | exutux, lenny__ : Seemingly he/she did not want a dm on startup/ | 00:52 |
| Salman | ActionParsnip: With live games download how install live | 00:52 |
| exutux | lenny__: to behonest with you too I know how to do it, and Lennart can say what him want... | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | you don't need a DM to get a desktop, you can run fluxbox straight from /etc/rc.local | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Salman: i have no idea of the context of what you are saying, bad TAB? | 00:53 |
| Salman | My computer/repack games not playing/help me | 00:53 |

| tyrant91101 | ActionParsnip: scratch that, still not working. when I updated it auto switched to TwinView. Now I tried to switch to separate X screens and same thing | 00:56 |
| trism | djzn: definitely seems to be a gtk bug, I made a test program that uses gdk_window_set_cursor explicitly when the mouse enters and the cursor is the correct size (that's why it works in firefox) | 00:56 |
| djzn | trism: hi | 00:56 |
| lenny__ | gtk bug? impossible. marked as "fix released" and redirected to /dev/null | 00:56 |
| trism | djzn: must be in the ubuntu patches though since the fedora 17 live cd worked fine | 00:57 |
| ning | is there anyone who develop android app ? | 00:57 |
| trism | djzn: and they only seem to have two patches against theirs (with nothing to do with cursors) | 00:57 |
| djzn | trism: same gtk version? | 00:57 |
| L3top | lenny__: We get it. You take issue with the direction and support of ubuntu devs. Please... stop complaining. Your disparity is noted. This is a support channel. Vent elsewhere. | 00:58 |
| djzn | trism: i am amazed that you're digging this deep | 00:59 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: can I please see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:59 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: if you are rockin twin view with a third monitor you should have one. | 01:00 |
| lenny__ | L3top: so basically, because I dared to speak my dissent you're telling me to fuck off | 01:00 |
| DeltaHeavy | L3top: Uh oh: http://xkcd.com/963/ | 01:00 |
| W4sp | exutux: It is unwise to have dm enabled for init and then disable dm in GRUB, a tool that's outside the OS. | 01:00 |
| trism | djzn: I'll have to check the versions, I suppose it might have been fixed recently but quantal is on 3.5.2 (f17 is on something like 3.4.4) and I see the bug there too | 01:01 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest45212 | ||
| L3top | lenny__: It is no skin off my nose. Your whinging is taking up lines I have to scroll through to help people... and is not within the guidelines of this channel... and keep your language civil please. Go complain in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 01:01 |
| exutux | W4sp: dm isn't enabled if you've disabled it from boot...pay attention "text" mode says to boot without any gui enabled | 01:02 |
| djzn | trism: thanks for investigating this | 01:02 |
| djzn | would a fix be expected for the LTS ? | 01:02 |
| exutux | W4sp: grup options says directive to the kernel | 01:02 |
| exutux | grub* | 01:02 |
| lenny__ | L3top: kick me, ban me, whatever but don't give my your shitty parental/marketing lectures. thank you. | 01:03 |
| L3top | lenny__: we are not ubuntu devs. You are just blogging in a large channel, where it is not acceptable to do so. We appreciate any support you have to give... but this is beyond the pale. | 01:03 |
| exutux | W4sp: so in that case grub says "hey kernel boot in a text mode without any gui enabled" | 01:03 |
| L3top | lenny__: I have no such power... I don't require it as one user to another to ask you to stop. | 01:03 |
| DeltaHeavy | exutux: I think the kernel can say which Linux "runlevel" to boot in but not specifically what things to start or stop FROM GRUB. I think it just gives init the runlevel and init does the rest. | 01:04 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavy: not really | 01:05 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavy: or better not only says about runlevel | 01:05 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: sorry I stepped away. putting up xorg.conf now | 01:05 |
| DeltaHeavy | exutux: Well not ONLY but that's how it knows what services (xorg) to start correct? It's what would make your GUI not load during boot correct? | 01:05 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavy: so it can says to kernel what modules enable too "example is nomodeset" for vga | 01:06 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ok exutux: got it, thanks! | 01:06 |
| DeltaHeavy | Blah typo | 01:06 |
| W4sp | exutux: It still is bad advice for all the reasons I gave you plus many more. If you are still in doubt I suggest you read the manual. | 01:06 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavy: nope not only during boot | 01:06 |
| persson121 | Hello. I have a problem with flash. When im install Google Chrome, i cannot watch flash videos or games. | 01:07 |

| persson121 | Hello. I have a problem with flash. When im install Google Chrome, i cannot watch flash videos or games. | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | persson121: please don't post like that | 01:07 |
| DeltaHeavy | exutux: I think you misunderstood my last message. It was just a thank you, no other questions or comments on GRUB/Linux in general :P | 01:07 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top, ActionParsnip: here is my Xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/E0wLN5U5 | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | persson121: can you please give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 01:07 |
| exutux | W4sp: reason that you said early aren't good reasons IMHO ...which manual you're referring too? | 01:08 |
| exutux | DeltaHeavy: np | 01:08 |
| persson121 | ActionParsnip: Sorry. I can't se what im posting. It's seams that i cant se what other people writing. Anyway. I got a flash problem in Ubuntu 12.04. I have tried everything. | 01:08 |
| persson121 | ActionParsnip: I can only se if someone write my nick name | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | persson121: can you give a pastebin of the command I gave plase, you can use http://pastie.org or similar | 01:09 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top. ActionParsnip: might it be that the Screen sections are duplicated? Each screen is declared twice | 01:09 |
| Ben64 | persson121: you might want to get a different/better irc client | 01:09 |
| rawfodog | how do I refresh/restart unity in the command window ? I got an icon that wont go away ... | 01:10 |
| rawfodog | In gnome3 it's simply -r | 01:10 |
| DeltaHeavy | persson121: Install 'irssi' via terminal (sudo apt-get install irssi), then run it (execute irssi in the command line), then type '/connect irc.gnu.org' followed by '/join #ubuntu' | 01:10 |
| Ben64 | DeltaHeavy: i wouldn't suggest irssi for most people | 01:11 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ben64: He seems to be just getting by. It's more of a "Lets rule out everything that could be screwing with you possible" solution | 01:11 |
| DeltaHeavy | If Flash isn't working it MIGHT be a video problem. When my mobo was dying Flash displayed as a green blob. Everything appeared to work fine until it kicked the bucket | 01:12 |
| steed | when connecting to an open access point. I have been, putting the card in managed mode, setting the essid, setting the channel, and the calling dhcp server, but i dont get and IP. am i not getting associated properly? | 01:12 |
| exutux | rawfodog: unity --help may say you | 01:12 |
| Ben64 | DeltaHeavy: flash is a common problem in linux, its likely everything else works fine | 01:12 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: I don't understand what you mean by that... however the range of your third scren is outside of what I would expect to see, especially at the resolution you are going for on each. Try dropping each res in half (eg 1080p to 720p) and see if this is indeed the source of the problem as I expect it is. | 01:13 |
| exutux | rawfodog: unity --reset I think that what you want | 01:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ben64: Likley, but irssi is a fine solution until he can at least see what the hell is going on IMO. I'm not telling him to use IRSSI as his main client rather than for now while his stuff is messed up | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | irssi is pretty hard to see/use, especially for a large channel like this | 01:13 |
| rawfodog | ill try exutux | 01:14 |
| rawfodog | thanks | 01:14 |
| exutux | np | 01:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ben64: Hard to see? Hard to use yes but I gave him specific instructions to get to this channel. It's just a temporary fix | 01:14 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: sorry misread the "Monitor" sections as screen | 01:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | Question: I recently had an experiance with a 1.6GHz Celeron (duel core) with 512MB of DDR RAM and integrated graphics. I used both Unity and GNOME2 fallback mode which both felt clunky and laggy. I installed CentOS and used it as a Desktop (minimal install and installed XORG/GNOME2) and it's running beatifully. The computer appears to exceed the minimial system requirements. Why would it feel as if my computer couldn't handle it well? | 01:14 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: trying to reduce teh resolution | 01:14 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: basically you have a virtual "screen size" limitation which each actual screen exists within. Imagine a big 2048 x 2048 area under which each screen must fit. | 01:15 |
| rawfodog | exutux, it worked thanks :) | 01:15 |
| steed | DeltaHeavy, have you made sure to turn off extra features like desktop effects etc | 01:15 |
| L3top | once you breach that boundry... whatever does dies | 01:15 |
| exutux | rawfodog: yw | 01:15 |
| DeltaHeavy | steed: Never turned them on. GNOME2 fallback mode I didn't look since it was apperent it wasn't using any by default unless I'm wrong. | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: gnome2 is a dead project | 01:15 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: is there any way to increase this limit? The max resolutions were working fine with twin view | 01:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: It's still used in CentOS. I like it, it works, I know there's no support. | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: try xfce in ubuntu, it smells like gnome2 | 01:16 |
| MindALot | I'm having trouble. I've purged ATI's drivers from my system, and run dpkg-reconfigure - however my /etc/X11/xorg.conf still has fglrx and ATI in it. | 01:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: I actually endedu p using that. Can't believe I left that out. Was still laggy as all hell. | 01:16 |
| trakinas | hi all. after upgrading ubuntu, I cannot play *anything* flash based. | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | DeltaHeavy: maybe ubuntu was using the wrong graphics driver? | 01:17 |
| L3top | There is... but like all magic... it comes at a cost tyrant91101... and only on some chipsets. Again... I recommend just dropping res... Under 32 inches... 1080p only exists to make your... member feel bigger. | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | trakinas: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 01:18 |
| trakinas | I fixed that previously using "flash-aid" ff plugin, but that didnt fix it this time. flash does not work on firefox, neither in Chrome/mium | 01:18 |
| steed | ActionParsnip, then what is your question? | 01:18 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ben64: I suppose that could be it. It was a standard integrated Intel chip though so I doubt it but I agree that is' a possibility. Is it not uncommon for a machine with the power of the one I mentioned to have performance issues when running Ubuntu 11.10? | 01:18 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: huh? It makes a massive difference on my monitors | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | steed: i have no question, my systems work 100% | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | DeltaHeavy: hmm.. intel should "just work" | 01:18 |
| steed | ActionParsnip, sorry about that. mixed up a couple names. | 01:19 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: Ok. I am not here to argue physics. This is the cost. If you want 3 monitors, you can't run 1080p. Can you just please drop resolution to confirm this is correct? | 01:19 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ben64: That's what I was thinking. I thought it was just Ubuntu being a bit heavier than most other distros | 01:19 |

| trakinas | ActionParsnip: I know. I thought the link was in the buffer, but it wasnt | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | DeltaHeavy: without effects there shouldn't be a noticeable difference from ubuntu, centos, or anything else modern really | 01:20 |
| tyrant91101 | also, what does this have to do with physics? | 01:20 |

| L3top | That does not change the accuracy of my statement ActionParsnip. | 01:21 |

| tyrant91101 | L3top: no change. resolution isnt the issue it appears | 01:26 |
| Queops | exutux: won't that bork things up? | 01:26 |
| Queops | Maybe theres a gsettings that im not aware of, or I just can't find the user settings that really change the session | 01:26 |
| Queops | For some reason lightdm "resets" the .dmrc | 01:27 |
| exutux | Queops: I use a simply .xinitrc | 01:27 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: actually, does lightdm even implement separate x screens? | 01:27 |
| Queops | I'm just asking, programatically, because it's really easy to change upon login | 01:27 |
| Queops | but when using a script for many.. | 01:27 |
| Queops | Might have to go and have a look at the source code of it | 01:28 |

| exutux | i't a simply bash script with exec lxde-session or gnome-session or what you want | 01:29 |

| L3top | tyrant91101: do you have any sort of converters btw attached to your monitors... dvi to hdim etc | 01:34 |

| L3top | tyrant91101: are you attempting to have individual displays or a shared single desktop stretched across 3 | 01:35 |

| Rafase282 | Hello, could someone tell me how can I delete everything from a directory with exeption of a directory with its subdirectories and files in command line? | 01:37 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: What I mean is either a single desktop environment shared across 3 monitors, or 3 desktops with their own monitor. | 01:38 |
| trakinas | tyrant91101: individual screens have independent things happening on the,: like, firefox opened in the 27" and my code opened on the other. | 01:38 |
| trakinas | tyrant91101: think about shared like TV displays on eletronic stores, where they show the same stuff on different screens. | 01:38 |
| tyrant91101 | ok yeah I'm trying to do individual screens | 01:38 |
| tyrant91101 | with gnome-shell's menu showing up on the middle one (when you press start) | 01:39 |
| tyrant91101 | *windows key | 01:39 |
| L3top | okeydoke. I am confused by your xrandr. | 01:39 |
| trakinas | Rafase282: you will have to use some regex and a toll like xargs or something else where you can queue parameters for another command. | 01:39 |
| Rafase282 | Sounds like it wont be a line of code =/ | 01:40 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: individual would have 3 menus, one desktop shared across 3 would have one main menu which you could assign however based on the hw... can you please show me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 01:40 |
| trakinas | Rafase282: maybe or you could cd into the main directory and put what is going to be removed inline. | 01:41 |
| Rafase282 | from /sdcard I want to erease everything but the dir /sdcard/R282 | 01:41 |
| Rafase282 | The problem is that is more what I want to delete than what I want to keep | 01:41 |
| Rafase282 | everything is mostly in directories anywyas but they are still over 10 | 01:42 |
| Neaters | Im new to ubuntu | 01:42 |
| Queops | exutux: sadly that won't do for me :P | 01:42 |

| trakinas | Rafase282: If there is too many things to be listed by hand, have a look on using find or xargs for listing what you dont want to remove | 01:45 |

| tyrant91101 | L3top: I am unclear about what a head means. ive seen "dual head" mentioned in the topics i was searching through | 01:51 |
| tyrant91101 | It has 2 DVi and 2 HDMI if that helps | 01:51 |
| L3top | this thing is spanking brand new yes tyrant91101? | 01:51 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: yeah its the new kepler series | 01:52 |
| cheryl | I need help installing java on my computer can anyone direct me to where i can do this? | 01:52 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: I believe, with absolutely know research, that each of those two types of heads are tied to the same two bases and you will never get 3 outputs from them unless you want to mirror one. | 01:52 |
| L3top | and that would be a trick | 01:53 |
| L3top | Give me a moment tyrant91101 | 01:53 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: is this a Ubuntu limitation or a hardware limitation? | 01:53 |
| L3top | cheryl: do you mean openjdk or oracle/sun java? | 01:53 |
| L3top | It would be a hardware limitation if I am correct tyrant91101. | 01:53 |

| tyrant91101 | L3top: I can test it quickly on windows to make sure but with TwinView all 3 monitors were useable | 01:54 |
| L3top | tyrant91101: Individually or as clones? | 01:55 |
| tyrant91101 | L3top: individually | 01:55 |

| XiRoN | So they can rummage around in the system files also. | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | andsch: but it doesn't resolve anything, nor is it a question, so its offtopic | 02:03 |
| tyrant91101 | and the latest Nvidia driver definitely supports gtx 670 | 02:03 |
| L3top | it can... it is not terribly straightforward tyrant91101. | 02:03 |
| L3top | As I said, it relies on a pre-determined Xorg limitation which I have to research. | 02:04 |

| Skaperen | IdleOne: OK, email sent ... and that "apt-cache show package-name" only works for the Ubuntu version I have installed (not currently on 12.04) | 02:19 |
| ashka | hello, I'm experiencing a problem with my ATI graphic card since I changed my motherboard | 02:19 |
| ashka | xrandr doesn't detect the outputs anymore | 02:19 |
| Skaperen | which is why I went to the web site | 02:19 |
| ashka | it's the same graphic card with the same driver as before | 02:19 |
| Skaperen | but anyway, I sent the email, so maybe it will be in their attention now | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tastycakeman: sudo apt-get source install openssl if memory serves | 02:20 |
| OerHeks | tastycakeman, openssl should be installed standard, you can check that yourself | 02:20 |
| tastycakeman | 'unable to find a source package' for apt-get source install openssl | 02:21 |
| OerHeks | Skaperen, works fine here, full description on 12.04 | 02:22 |
| Skaperen | OerHeks: for the web site? | 02:22 |
| OerHeks | no, apt-cache show <package> | 02:23 |
| Skaperen | OerHeks: that works for me ... but only for packages in 10.10 because I have 10.10 installed here | 02:23 |

| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: maverick is EOL | 02:24 |
| Skaperen | OerHeks: I didn't check Oneiric | 02:24 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that ... which is the big reason I'm researching steps I need to do to upgrade | 02:24 |
| ashka | in order to get openssl, you need to enable the security repo | 02:25 |
| tastycakeman | security repo? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: grab the natty alternate ISO and upgrade using that | 02:25 |
| ashka | yes, let me get the line you need to add in your sources.list file | 02:25 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: why natty? I want 12.04 LTS precise | 02:25 |
| OerHeks | 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 02:26 |
| ashka | tastycakeman: which version of ubuntu do you have ? | 02:26 |
| Skaperen | I'm not going to be doing an incremental ... I'm doing a fresh jump via a 2nd drive | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: because you are on Maverick, so you need to upgrade to Natty, then to Oneiric then finally to Precise | 02:26 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: ^^^^ | 02:26 |
| tastycakeman | 1204 | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: if you were on Lucid (10.04 LTS), you would be able to upgrade directly to Precise (12.04 LTS) as it is an LTS to LTS upgrade | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Skaperen: then just wipe Maverick out entirely and install Precise to the new free space | 02:27 |
| tastycakeman | oops 12.04 | 02:28 |
| ashka | tastycakeman: okay, in a terminal, type that : echo "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:28 |
| ashka | then you can update APT, then retry installing openssl | 02:28 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: I don't have the luxury of being on an un-modified system ... I need to have THIS system stay running while I do all my mods to 12.04 ... probably a week or so to finish | 02:28 |
| ashka | oh wait, tastycakeman | 02:28 |
| ashka | forgot the deb at the very start of this thing | 02:28 |
| tastycakeman | ...? | 02:28 |
| ashka | just after the quote | 02:28 |
| ashka | if you already did the command, no problem, just type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:29 |
| Skaperen | ActionParsnip: then I switch drives and have 12.04 HERE and 10.10 on the other box | 02:29 |
| ashka | you need to add deb so the line looks like the others | 02:29 |
| tastycakeman | whoa | 02:29 |
| tastycakeman | waht did i just do... | 02:29 |
| tastycakeman | i have never used nano before... | 02:30 |
| tastycakeman | how do i save... | 02:30 |
| tastycakeman | doh | 02:30 |
| ashka | oh, it's pretty straight forward | 02:30 |
| ashka | to save, press Ctrl-x | 02:30 |
| ashka | then y, then enter | 02:30 |
| tastycakeman | sweet, got it | 02:30 |
| ashka | then you could just go ahead and update APT | 02:30 |
| ashka | sorry | 02:30 |

| tastycakeman | and then install openssl? | 02:31 |
| ashka | yup | 02:31 |
| aclocal | what about before the .so | 02:31 |
| aclocal | the second one | 02:31 |
| tastycakeman | so this should fix that wonky tls1 thing/ssl connect | 02:31 |
| tastycakeman | its weird, i remember seeing it as an ubuntu thing, but everything i read said it was a rubygems thing | 02:32 |
| aclocal | anybody | 02:33 |
| Skaperen | aclocal: I've always wondered about that | 02:34 |
| Skaperen | aclocal: I hope it's not a thing that people would debate about which is right, like they do over silly stuff like which editor is best (none of them are) | 02:35 |

| aclocal | yes but this is rather important numbers have some times meaning specially when where talking about important libraries that one would need to be aware of maybe when developing | 02:36 |
| aclocal | and I agree with you | 02:36 |

| Skaperen | aclocal: if it means anything to you, I use version after .so for mine | 02:38 |
| Skaperen | but I can change if someone makes the case for it to me | 02:38 |

| randomusr_ | I would like to set up an imaging server from which I could PXE clients and install Windows | 03:27 |

| ActionParsnip | randomusr_: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server | 03:28 |
| randomusr_ | ActionParsnip I'm sorry I didn't get my point accross, I though imaging would suffice | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | randomusr_: it could be a medical imaging server where xrays are viewed | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | randomusr_: or a backup servr for holding HDD images | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | randomusr_: and so forth | 03:29 |
| randomusr_ | Now that that's over with how the hell does it work on linux? I've tried installing DRBL with CloneZilla and as simple as the Articles sound, it never works | 03:29 |

| XiRoN | ActionParsnip: yes, a lot | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | XiRoN: then if you make an alias, you can type a single word and it will be transformed into that string each time | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | XiRoN: you probably use aliases without knowing, if you run: type la | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | XiRoN: it shows that la isn't a command, it's an alias to: ls -a | 04:06 |
| XiRoN | ActionParsnip: I wont personally be running the command myself, I'm using php_ssh2 to run it from a webserver. | 04:06 |

| ActionParsnip | sandman: the server installation CD gives yu options what you want to install, you can install stuff later using packages | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sandman: the server OS has no gui for performance and security reasons, its all CLI | 05:25 |
| sandman | Well, that's okay so long as there's a decent CLI interface, and it's not all just command-line =) | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sandman: there are some curses UIs for stuff, most stuff is all CLI | 05:26 |

| ActionParsnip | sandman: its good to learn the cli, your skills will be transferrable to other UNIX/Linux servers | 05:27 |

| L3top | Bumblebee will allow the use of the nvidia gpu... I am actually not sure if it runs only nouveau or will run the proprietary driver as well. | 06:29 |

| localg0d | I lost the menu's and clock on top and bottom after my computer froze and had to reboot .. anyone got a clue as to how to restore this desktop to it's last known session etc ? | 07:53 |

| nmmm | what could be the reason when turn on the server, the grub to start normally, including the graphical picture, | 07:56 |
| Benkinooby | DJones, my clock wanders of by 50 minutes, 5 minutes, 25 minutes, 3 hours 4 minues... so it's not off my exact hours as a wrong time zone setting might cuase | 07:56 |
| Benkinooby | cause | 07:57 |

| AdvoWork | May be a silly question but if doing rsync -aux --numeric-ids /mnt/test 192.168.0.50:/mnt/oldtest do I need a / after the test/(ie source folder) i'm doing files/folders. | 08:17 |
| llutz_ | AdvoWork: if you dont add a /, you'll get /mnt/oldtest/test. if you use source/ it will copy the files, not the dir | 08:19 |

| MoneyDust | kartlos yeah, xorg.conf is no longer used | 08:28 |
| kartlos | thanks MoneyDust, but the ubuntu website says that I must edit my xorg.conf | 08:28 |
| kartlos | is there another way? | 08:28 |
| ssta | geirha: grep is part of the set of "essential" toolset that is in /bin so that the system always has those basic tools available even if /usr is not mounted | 08:28 |
| llutz_ | ssta: historical reasons. does the division /[s]bin /usr/[s]bin still makes sense? | 08:29 |
| misantropen | MoneyDust: geirha: We'll see about that. He also claims it is wrong to call Linux "Linux". Is he living in the 90:s lol? | 08:29 |
| ssta | llutz_: yes. /usr does NOT need to be the same filesystem as / | 08:29 |

| Dr_Willis | Guest131: run it from terminal, look for error messages to start debuging. | 09:07 |

| matthew21164 | I can remember on some linux distros | 09:33 |

| Guest131 | i dont know about it | 09:47 |
| gvo | OK do this "apt-cache policy gimp" | 09:47 |
| gvo | Walther: Not if the usb stick is fat32 | 09:47 |
| Walther | gvo: too bad then, as the startup disk creator doesn't allow any other types (say, ext4) | 09:48 |

| reuf | question - when running another linux distro in virtual box how limited am i in terms of os itself and its capabilities - not in terms of processing and memory power | 09:56 |
| reuf | lets say i wanna run fedora spin inside ubuntu virtual box - how limited will i be - or there will be no limits? | 09:56 |

| Guest131 | llutz_, what to do? | 10:00 |
| lotalota | there is no | 10:00 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: get rid of those ppas, reinstall gimp from official repo | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 10:01 |
| Guest131 | OK. give me some guide | 10:01 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: or ask the ppa-owner to fix his stuff | 10:01 |
| Guest131 | reinstalling from official repo is a good idea, can i do it through terminal? | 10:01 |
| llutz_ | !ppa-purge | Guest131 | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Guest131: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 10:02 |

| DX_User_002 | Hello | 10:25 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: I purged that repo. where can I find official repo GIMP included? | 10:25 |
| ThinkT510 | somethinginteres: the closest thing to that is the .1 releases, 12.04.1 is comming up | 10:26 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: its in main, the standard ubuntu-repo | 10:26 |
| ThinkT510 | somethinginteres: those sort of releases only apply to the lts versions though | 10:26 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: so give me command | 10:26 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest131: you forgot please | 10:27 |
| MoneyDust | Guest131 sudo apt-get istall gimp | 10:27 |

| XiRoN | Is there a way to block all ports in ufw and only allow the ports that have been allowed? | 10:28 |
| Guest131 | thanks guys | 10:28 |
| MoneyDust | XiRoN try to get familiar with configuring ip-tables | 10:29 |
| llutz_ | XiRoN: isnt that the default? | 10:29 |
| XiRoN | MoneyDust: Do I need to use iptables in order to use ufw? | 10:30 |
| === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender | ||
| XiRoN | llutz_: not sure i have only just started using it | 10:30 |
| Yandex_nm2 | XiRoN: ufw configures iptables for you, but if you understand iptables properly it will make ufw more obvious | 10:30 |
| Guest131 | OMG!! It works! You are gorgeous llutz_, thanks again! | 10:31 |
| somethinginteres | ThinkT510: I'd need to do the install tonight unless .1 is on the way soon I guess I'll just have to download updates. | 10:31 |
| XiRoN | Yandex_nm2: I just need a solution that will quickley allow me to open and close ports, learning iptables is something I will do in the near future | 10:32 |
| somethinginteres | ThinkT510: no major hassle besides bandwidth. | 10:32 |
| somethinginteres | Also, why does the Chinese language edition of Ubuntu have its own release? | 10:33 |
| MoneyDust | somethinginteres guess that's chinese politics | 10:33 |
| somethinginteres | MoneyDust: oh really? hmmm. | 10:34 |
| misantropen | Why is /dev/ needed? | 10:39 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: The current version is 2.6.12, how can I upgrade to 2.8 version through terminal( if possible)? | 10:39 |
| skpl | hi unity 2d is very slow on my machine, how can i check and see if it is using the correct driver for my graphics card | 10:39 |
| misantropen | I know /dev/ contains devices but what does that mean? | 10:39 |
| misantropen | proc also contains devices | 10:39 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: find a ppa for it and be prepared to break things again :) | 10:39 |
| misantropen | Anyone? | 10:40 |
| ThinkT510 | !fhs | misantropen | 10:40 |
| ubottu | misantropen: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 10:40 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: I better satisfie with this flavor :/ | 10:41 |
| LjL | misantropen: does proc contain devices you can read from / write to? | 10:41 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: you'll have to wait for 12.10 to get gimp-2.8 by default i guess | 10:42 |
| misantropen | LjL: Not sure | 10:42 |
| MoneyDust | misantropen linux works with partitions, like /dev/sda1 -- partitions are parts of your harddisk | 10:43 |
| llutz_ | all is a file ... | 10:43 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: At that time GIMP 2.10 will be released, latest release 2.9 is in beta right now.. | 10:43 |
| misantropen | ThinkT510: What is a device file? "interface for a device driver" | 10:44 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: huh 2.10 maybe 3.0 | 10:44 |
| LjL | misantropen: to my knowledge, proc contains information / parameters about your hardware and software, while /dev is actually a representation of devices you can use to read/write to them | 10:44 |
| llutz_ | Guest131: idk, i don't use gimp that much that i'd care about versions | 10:44 |
| Yandex_nm2 | It's fairly ridiculous that it's so hard to upgrade to new versions of software (GIMP for example) | 10:45 |
| Yandex_nm2 | On Windows or Mac it would be much easier | 10:45 |
| misantropen | LjL: Would it be correct to say that software communicate with the hardware through dev? | 10:45 |
| llutz_ | Yandex_nm2: use a rolling-release distro and you'll be fine. | 10:45 |
| Guest131 | llutz_: this is gonna be my first touch with gimp, I've used Photoshop on Windows and iMac before | 10:45 |
| Yandex_nm2 | Guest131: Prepare to be disappointed, GIMP is not good at non-destructive editing the way Photoshop is | 10:46 |
| LjL | misantropen: well, i don't think that's always the case at least nowadays, but in theory, yes | 10:46 |
| Yandex_nm2 | Guest131: It's primarily a pixel pusher | 10:46 |
| misantropen | LjL: Ok thank you | 10:46 |
| Guest131 | Yandex_nm2, I'll give it a try | 10:46 |

| Guest131 | DJones, even the wine? gosh! google is also a linux system, why doing this? 9_9 | 10:52 |
| DJones | Guest131: The version from google was the windows version with a wine wrapper anyway (from what I remember), maybe you can still install it manually though | 10:53 |

| W4sp | somethinginteres: Two things, if you install Ubuntu creates its own /home for the upcoming users to be added to the system. You would need to modify fstab in such a way that a) users during the install process are added to your ext HDD. These must have the same UID as in /etc/passwd | 10:54 |
| Guest131 | Salman,you better go to iamleaningenlish dot com | 10:55 |
| MoneyDust | ah Salman, ueber troll ! long time no see ! | 10:55 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: if I used the full Ubuntu installer and set my /home mount point as my external (instead of using Wubi) that should not be a problem, in the sense that if I tell the installer /home = external all sers should be added to my external drive? | 10:57 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Please note that if you mount your ext HDD to /home the existing directories in /home will not be available until you umount the ext HDD from /home | 10:57 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: In short, yes, it is very much possible and a way of doing it. | 10:58 |
| ehs | ubuntu software centre doest open on a regular user | 10:58 |

| blackshirt | any messages ? | 11:03 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: IT you use installer defaults your ext HDD will be erased. I suggest to do the following based on your requirements. During installation instruct /home to be on a USB memory stick that does not contain any important data, run the installer and manually instruct the installer to use your /dev/usb.... as /home. This is not the default. Shut down Ubuntu and swap the USB memory stick with your ext HDD and boot into Ubuntu. | 11:03 |
| ehs | nope was a smooth installation | 11:04 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Also, what is the file sistem on your ext HDD? | 11:04 |
| ehs | should i try it again? | 11:04 |
| blackshirt | maybe better | 11:05 |
| ehs | ok will be back | 11:05 |
| blackshirt | ehs, is there messages pop up? | 11:05 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: I am not qualified to comment on Acer's recovery partition(s). | 11:05 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Please note that the ext HDD must contain a writable valid filesystem. | 11:07 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: it's ext4 presently | 11:07 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: That's very good news. :-) | 11:08 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: indeed. Basically I am trying to transport my computer overseas without actually taking the big box. I figure, install the base OS, use the /home already in use right now, good as gold. I should set it up in the next few hours if you're online I'll let you know how it went down. :) | 11:10 |
| MoneyDust | somethinginteres use clonezilla to clone the pc | 11:11 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: I'll stick around and if something comes up just ping me. | 11:11 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Did you get the UID thing? Make sure the user id on your ext HDD matches your /etc/passwd. See the numeric values including group membership. | 11:12 |
| MoneyDust | somethinginteres you can also simply copy your /home to an external, the applications' settings will be copied, too | 11:12 |

| somethinginteres | w4sp: re: the UDID thing I might need you to expand on that a bit. I just checked my /etc/passwd it has in it "sam:x:1000:1000:sam,,,:/home/sam:/bin/bash" "sam" being my username. Not too sure on what exactly you mean by " the numeric values including group membership." Do you mean to make sure I use the same username and password during install as I am using on the current box? | 11:37 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: As your user id is 1000 in grp sam (1000) on your ext HDD it should match with your new installation. Otherwise, if you log into the OS as sam but the numeric values are different you won't have a home dir. Does it make sense? | 11:39 |

| killer | hi...how do i upgrade gcc to 4.7.1 in precise and upgrade other tools like cmake ... | 11:42 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: sorry mate, I think I follow you, I just am not clear on how to accomplish it. Is it a case of simply editing /etc/passwd after I do the install to make sure "sam" is 1000? | 11:42 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Hence, sam as a username is not sufficient, sam with UID 1000 in grp 1000 will do you nicely as this is what is on your extfs4 on your ext HDD | 11:42 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: or is there a command that will make sure "sam" has UID 1000 in grp 1000? | 11:43 |
| zetheroo | what is the command to move a directory and it's contents to another folder? | 11:43 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: YEs, but if your ext HDD has other users on it you need to match them all. | 11:43 |
| jrib | zetheroo: mv /path/to/directory /new/location | 11:43 |
| zetheroo | jrib: thanks | 11:44 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: that should be no worries then. Sweet. Never would've known to do this if I'd not asked here. :) | 11:44 |
| zetheroo | jrib: that worked! Now what if I want to mv several folders and their contents to another common location? | 11:46 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: One more thing.... You mentioned you take the HDD overseas without the 'big box'. The problem will rise again unless you take your Acer with you, hence maintaining the UID/GUID pairs. All clear? | 11:46 |
| minus2731 | hi all | 11:46 |
| minus2731 | a very newbie question | 11:46 |
| minus2731 | I have Medibuntu sources in my apt-get confs | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: ... and the question? | 11:47 |
| minus2731 | and nevertheless I wish to install the Ubuntu version of mplayer | 11:47 |
| jrib | zetheroo: mv folder1 folder2 /new/location | 11:47 |
| minus2731 | what should I do? | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | jrib: ok thanks | 11:47 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: yep,all clear | 11:48 |
| somethinginteres | W4sp: thanks for the help | 11:48 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: does mplayer work? | 11:48 |
| W4sp | somethinginteres: Very welcome, let's see how you get on with it. | 11:49 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: yes, but I suspect that it does not work with another software (a proprietary streamer popular in China) which calls mplayer for playing videos | 11:49 |
| killer | how do i upgrade gcc to version 4.7 | 11:49 |
| zetheroo | jrib: I am getting a message saying that one of the folders cannot be moved because it's not empty | 11:50 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: and people report that it does work with the ubuntu version of mplayer | 11:50 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: i'm in beijing and my youku plays fine... | 11:50 |
| jrib | zetheroo: pastebin command and output | 11:50 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: then that's clearer, I wish to run PPStream | 11:50 |
| jrib | zetheroo: you must make sure /new/location is a directory | 11:50 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: pastebin output from the following apt-cache policy mplayer | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | epzil0n: I have the same soundcard , just make sure it's default in the bios ,and to check if the the right modul/driver is loaded , in the terminal run , cat /proc/asound/modules | 11:51 |
| zetheroo | jrib: can I PM the pastebin link? | 11:51 |
| jrib | zetheroo: I'd prefer if you just post it here, but if it has information you do not wish to share for some reason, sure | 11:52 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1125063/ | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: exact same as I have. | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: mplayer downloads are at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html | 11:53 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: and PPStream (the standalone version) works at your place? | 11:53 |
| jrib | zetheroo: on your first line, change "mv" to "ls -ld" and pastebin that please | 11:54 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: never used it that I know of. Have you a link for me to test? | 11:54 |
| BluesKaj | epzil0n: the result of the cat command should be , 0 snd_ice1724 , if the right driver/module is loaded | 11:55 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: http://dl.pps.tv/pps_linux_download.html -- click on the big button with "Ubuntu" | 11:55 |
| jrib | zetheroo: perhaps a directory already exists in there with the same name? | 11:55 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: so can I change the policy thing to prefer for this package only the main ubuntu source? | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: attempting a play for pps.tv | 11:55 |
| zetheroo | jrib: ok ... should not be in there ... but I'll check .. | 11:56 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: got some message in chinese which, sadly, I don't read or speak to any great degree. | 11:56 |
| zetheroo | jrib: seems like you nailed it! dealing with duplicated data ... argh ;) | 11:57 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: but yes. Comment out the current medibuntu sources with # and run apt-upgrade then apt-get install mplayer | 11:57 |
| killer | is kernel.ubuntu.com officially supported (by ubuntu)? | 11:58 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: thanks for the "policy" hint, I think I STFG'd on the right thing | 11:58 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: good luck then | 11:59 |

| blinkiz | Hello. Am trying to use Open vSwitch. How do I create a fake bridge for packets that have no 802.1Q tag or a tag with VLAN 0? For example I already have port "eth0" within bridge "ovstrunk". I now want one fake bridge with all untagged traffic only, "ovsbr0". "ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0 ovstrunk 0" command gives me error message "ovs-vsctl: add-br: vlan must be between 1 and 4095". | 12:11 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: however, that only works between different debian versions, so as medibuntu is as precise as ubuntu | 12:14 |
| minus2731 | that doesn't work | 12:14 |
| minus2731 | so I opted for the usual way | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | minus2731: ouch. sorry, man. that was officially my best shot. | 12:15 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: no, your version is OK | 12:15 |
| miwa | can I somehow stop the update manager from appearing now and then? | 12:15 |

| minus2731 | yes, but only when the distro version is different | 12:15 |
| minus2731 | cfhowlett: now with the vanilla mplayer, PPStream doesn't work in exactly the same way | 12:18 |

| Thomas_ | Anyone around? | 13:33 |
| samster34 | yes | 13:33 |
| greenit | hi, yea | 13:33 |
| Thomas_ | I need some help with installing ubuntu | 13:34 |
| compdoc | whats the problem? | 13:34 |
| Thomas_ | I chose to install it from a CD | 13:34 |
| Thomas_ | and to install it alongside my other OS | 13:35 |
| Thomas_ | so I'm stuck here in the Partition menu | 13:35 |
| compdoc | oh. I dont dual-boot, so Im not much help | 13:35 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, what is the other OS? | 13:35 |
| Thomas_ | Windows 7 | 13:35 |
| compdoc | someone else can help Im sure, but its early in the morning | 13:35 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, try using wubi.exe then, from inside windows | 13:35 |
| Thomas_ | I've tried that but it's not recommended | 13:36 |
| Thomas_ | I encountered some problems | 13:36 |
| Thomas_ | so my question here is | 13:36 |
| greenit | Thomas_, so, u are still in the live-cd and have the partition menu in front of u? | 13:36 |
| Thomas_ | am I supposed to create a partition beforehand | 13:36 |
| Thomas_ | or can I create a partition to install Ubuntu here? | 13:36 |
| Thomas_ | yes | 13:36 |
| samster34 | is there free space? | 13:36 |
| samster34 | I don't know if the partitioning tool in the installer will let you resize NTFS partitions | 13:37 |
| Thomas_ | I use only 100 gigs of my 500 gb drive so yes | 13:37 |
| greenit | samster34, it is gparted, it will | 13:37 |
| compdoc | but is it non-parititoned space? | 13:37 |
| === hp is now known as Guest22881 | ||
| Thomas_ | from the looks of it | 13:37 |
| Thomas_ | that's my question, can I create a free partition now? | 13:38 |
| samster34 | so, you have a 100GB windows partition, and 00GB unpartitioned space | 13:38 |
| compdoc | if its one large ntfs parititon, it might not work. you might damage your windows | 13:38 |
| samster34 | ~400 | 13:38 |
| greenit | Thomas_, didnt u choose the option "install ubuntu beneath my other systems"? | 13:38 |
| smartboyhw | greenit's right | 13:38 |
| Thomas_ | wait a second | 13:38 |
| smartboyhw | Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8. | 13:38 |
| smartboyhw | Maybe he used the daily builds:) | 13:39 |
| greenit | :) | 13:39 |
| Thomas_ | I have 2 choices | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | :( | 13:39 |
| Thomas_ | 1) Replace windows 7 with Ubuntu | 13:39 |
| Thomas_ | and 2) | 13:39 |
| Thomas_ | "something else" | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah, do the first one | 13:39 |
| samster34 | ehh, no | 13:39 |
| samster34 | that will replace windws7 :p | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | Oh, shit | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | Then it gets complicated | 13:39 |
| Thomas_ | I'd gladly do the first one but I need to test out Ubuntu first :P | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | I never use that option | 13:39 |

| samster34 | Thomas_, what does the partitioning look like? | 13:40 |
| smartboyhw | Test Ubuntu on Windows using VMWare Player | 13:40 |
| samster34 | 100GB windows 7, 400GB unused? | 13:40 |
| smartboyhw | Or Virtualbox, as brontosaurusrex said | 13:40 |
| Thomas_ | I think all 500 GB are used by windows | 13:40 |
| kartlos | hello people | 13:40 |
| Thomas_ | since I've never made a partition | 13:40 |
| smartboyhw | Or use the live system! | 13:40 |
| === PinkFurKittyGirl is now known as HelenaB | ||
| samster34 | Thomas_, then the easiest thing might be to boot windows, shrink the partition, and then boot your ubunu install medium again | 13:41 |
| Thomas_ | I could do all this stuff but I want to dual boot for now | 13:41 |
| smartboyhw | !behelpful | ThinkT510 | 13:41 |
| ubottu | ThinkT510: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 13:41 |
| greenit | Thomas_, so, u have installed win7 before, and as i think u just clicked "next" when it asked for a partition, so that u have one big ntfs-partition... use "somehting else" click on the ntfs-partition, if there is _no_ grey area left or right, and make it a bit smaller, from the END, not the beginning, this wont influence ur win7 drastically | 13:41 |
| smartboyhw | Just use VM or live system... | 13:41 |
| Thomas_ | greenit yes exactly | 13:41 |
| samster34 | smartboyhw, I think he's got your point | 13:41 |
| Thomas_ | the details under the second option say | 13:41 |

| kartlos | I just installed grub-efi on my macbook pro running 12.04 now X server doesn't start saying there are 'no screens found', has anyone experienced this? | 13:42 |
| smartboyhw | Yes, but it's complicated | 13:42 |
| smartboyhw | I only use "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7/8" | 13:42 |
| greenit | Thomas_, resize ur ntfs-partition, from the end and install ubuntu in the generated free space | 13:42 |
| smartboyhw | !help | 13:42 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:42 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, for a nearly foolproof way, just resize your windows partition in windows, and then you should be able to use the "install alongside windows" option :) | 13:43 |
| greenit | Thomas_, i did this a few times, with no real problems in any of my systems | 13:43 |
| smartboyhw | Yep | 13:43 |
| greenit | this would be the other way | 13:43 |
| greenit | ;) | 13:43 |
| smartboyhw | The Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha Builds should have these options... | 13:43 |
| smartboyhw | DON'T USE THE DAILY BUILDS | 13:43 |
| Thomas_ | that's what I don't know how to do, how to resize my NTFS partition, so I was wondering if I could find a step to step guide somewhere- google didn't help | 13:43 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, in gparted, or in windows? | 13:44 |
| smartboyhw | Use EaseUS Partition Manager | 13:44 |

| smartboyhw | Use Disk Management in Windows itseld | 13:44 |
| smartboyhw | itself | 13:44 |
| greenit | Thomas_, ok, then click on the ntfs-partition in the upper line, and click on the right-arrow with the |, looks like that ->| | 13:45 |
| smartboyhw | greenit & Thomas_: Better PM | 13:45 |

| kartlos | does anyone have experience with grub-efi? how do I set up Xorg when booted with EFI? | 13:45 |
| Thomas_ | visit this link please and go to the step 7C | 13:45 |
| Thomas_ | that's where I am | 13:45 |
| greenit | Thomas_, oh, sry... forgot how it looks like^^ | 13:46 |
| Thomas_ | but I don't have that "free space option" that guy has | 13:46 |
| smartboyhw | That's why I never use GParted | 13:46 |
| smartboyhw | It gets me nuts | 13:46 |
| Thomas_ | I only have /dev/sda and beneath it, /dev/sda1 | 13:46 |
| greenit | Thomas_, then click on ur partition, choose "change..." and make it smaller | 13:46 |
| rogst | Thomas_: are you installing 11.10 ? | 13:47 |
| smartboyhw | I think he's using 12.04... | 13:47 |
| Thomas_ | nope, 12.04 | 13:47 |
| rogst | ok | 13:47 |
| smartboyhw | Use Wubi, maybe | 13:47 |
| Thomas_ | alright I clicked change and I have 3 choices : Use as, Format the partition and mount point | 13:47 |
| Thomas_ | the default option in Use as is :" do not use the partition" | 13:48 |
| rogst | Thomas_: Have you taken a backup of the data on your windows partition ? | 13:48 |
| Thomas_ | nope | 13:48 |
| samster34 | quick question...I remember Super+Left/Right docking the current window to the left or right of the screen like in Win7...but it doesn't anymore. CTRL+ALT+4/6 doesn't do anything either | 13:48 |
| kartlos | nobody booting with EFI here? | 13:48 |
| hanf | /echo $ip | 13:48 |
| rogst | Thomas_: you should backup your data since mixing with partition resize can mess up everything | 13:48 |
| Thomas_ | greenit, can you pm me please? | 13:49 |
| samster34 | kartlos, I might be. not exactly sure. | 13:49 |
| kartlos | samster34: have you explicitly installed grub-efi? | 13:49 |
| samster34 | kartlos, no. done nothing different | 13:49 |
| [4-tea-2] | Howdy, if you're a Keepass2 user, does copying username or password to the clipboard work for you? If so, what WM are you using? | 13:50 |
| samster34 | kartlos, to be fair, I have no idea if I'm using grub-efi or not. | 13:50 |
| Thomas_ | hmm..what's the PM command in this? | 13:50 |
| smartboyhw | Just quote greenit | 13:51 |
| smartboyhw | or samster34 | 13:51 |
| smartboyhw | or me | 13:51 |
| kartlos | Just went through the pain of installing grub-efi on a macbook pro5.3 running ubuntu 12.04 but for some reason Xorg can't find the screen? does anyone know anything about this issue? | 13:51 |

| Thomas_ | alright, I'll create a partition from Windows, anyone know a good program for that? | 13:52 |
| smartboyhw | Just use WUBI!!!! | 13:52 |
| ThinkT510 | Thomas_: you don't create a linux partition from windows | 13:52 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, it's easy | 13:52 |
| Thomas_ | I used WUBI before and I had some issues | 13:53 |
| Thomas_ | so I was told to boot from CD | 13:53 |
| smartboyhw | I did before in 12.04 | 13:53 |
| === HardFu is now known as HardFu|AFK | ||
| [4-tea-2] | No Keepass users? Any other recommendations for a multi-platform password manager? | 13:53 |
| smartboyhw | Use Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha 3 Wubi | 13:53 |
| smartboyhw | Performance is better | 13:53 |
| smartboyhw | I crashed my Wubi for 5 times in Ubuntu 12.04 | 13:53 |
| samster34 | Thomas_, open the disk manager (run diskmgmt.msc), select your windows partition, "shrink" it by how much space you want for ubuntu, now start the ubuntu setup again and you will have the choice to install alongside windows 7 | 13:53 |
| Ztane | what was the package in 12.04 to install for getting gnome windows instead of unity? | 13:53 |
| smartboyhw | Only the installer... | 13:54 |
| Ztane | need to make 1 ubuntu run nicely within vmware | 13:54 |
| Thomas_ | thanks samster and the rest of you | 13:54 |
| Thomas_ | I'll be back perhaps | 13:54 |
| ThinkT510 | !notunity | Ztane | 13:54 |
| ubottu | Ztane: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 13:54 |
| MoneyDust | Ztane fallback or gnome-shell | 13:54 |
| sipior | [4-tea-2]: keepassX is great. lastpass is also nice. i think even 1password has limited functionality under linux. | 13:54 |
| Ztane | ok thanks | 13:55 |

| ubottu | samster34: The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution .

| [4-tea-2] | sipior: keepassx behaves more friendly, but is lacking at least one feature I was hoping to use - loading the password db from an URL (webdav in my case). | 14:11 |
| sipior | [4-tea-2]: depending on exactly what you want to accomplish, you can distribute the database with dropbox or the like. | 14:12 |
| amason_ | exit | 14:13 |
| [4-tea-2] | sipior: I'd like to have the pw db on my local server and access it from Linux, Windows and Android, preferably without having to use SMB from Windows and Android. | 14:15 |
| [4-tea-2] | Android shouldn't be a problem, the client is read-only afaik and should be able to load the db from anywhere. | 14:16 |
| [4-tea-2] | But I fear this is getting too off-topic. | 14:16 |
| sipior | [4-tea-2]: sparkleshare might be an option. not sure what support is like for windows yet (my understanding is that it is still pre-beta) | 14:16 |

| L3top | eradicor: the nvidia unified driver is certified for linux on almost everything. Go to nvidia.com and plug in the type, and you can see. | 14:48 |
| accidNOR | add dependencies to the .ini file | 14:48 |
| accidNOR | why do it when you dont want the package? :P | 14:49 |
| L3top | samster34: dual link dvi? | 14:49 |

| samster34 | L3top, double the data rate of single link/regular DVI. for big resolutions and stuff. | 14:50 |
| brianV | accidNOR: because I compile Wine with custom patchsets, so I want to install the wine1.5 dependencies without actual wie ;) | 14:50 |
| samster34 | L3top, the screen displays fine during boot, and at what looks like native res on the splash screen as well, so the connection looks fine | 14:51 |

| fachher | L3top, I know never change a runing system. | 14:51 |
| accidNOR | brianV: ahaa :) just add the link to package in file, and update the dependencies, this will download it, but not install it | 14:52 |
| brianV | winnie666: not necessarily, but in this case, the depencies from the Wine1.5 package from the Wine PPA will be close enough, since that is just behind the current HEAD | 14:52 |

| L3top | yeah you need at least 302.19 I believe. | 14:53 |
| accidNOR | like the good man said: PPA to the repository adress file. | 14:53 |

| brianV | accidNOR: umm... right. I already have the PPA added. But I don't want to manually download the deps one by one | 14:54 |
| dna-and | /quit | 14:54 |
| nja | How do I do that? | 14:54 |
| brianV | accidNOR: blah, I'll just install than remove the package. Might be risking cruft | 14:55 |
| samster34 | L3top, http://imgur.com/NsPNT | 14:55 |
| accidNOR | just add everything you want to the list, and then sudo apt-get update | 14:55 |
| L3top | xswat has 304 samster34? That is supposed to be a beast of a driver... large performance gain and power saving at the same time. I will have to investigate that. Your nvidia-settings is still at 295... not the driver... apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep -i installed | 14:55 |
| accidNOR | brianV: sorry man. im not a teaching expert :P | 14:56 |
| Sharky | hey guys is there updates to GNOME that are new? | 14:56 |
| brianV | accidNOR: no worries mate. Found something that worked | 14:56 |
| brianV | accidNOR: I just did an apt-get install, cancelled the install | 14:57 |
| brianV | accidNOR: took the displayed list of packeges, removed the ones I didn't want | 14:57 |
| MoneyDust | brianV the repos contain the latest supported updates | 14:57 |
| brianV | accidNOR: and am running a new update | 14:57 |

The installation runs smoothly but when i launch VMWorkstation the following message and question appears: Before you can run VMware, several modules must be complied and loaded into running kernel. | 15:05 |
| nsahoo | what is the difference between installing xubuntu-desktop vs installing xfce4 | 15:05 |
| L3top | no... actually yours is covered as of 295.59. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.59/README/supportedchips.html and your current http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/302.17.59/README/supportedchips.html | 15:06 |
| L3top | samster34: ^ | 15:06 |
| samster34 | L3top, so, what now | 15:06 |
| L3top | So I try and build you an xorg.conf and force that weirdo dual dvi to go samster34. | 15:07 |
| rollitup | fedora_: i get this d-wx--x--x 22 astrix astrix 4096 Apr 18 23:10 maxie-cooper.com | 15:07 |
| accidNOR | nsahoo: two different types? google it | 15:07 |
| binarymutant | how do I get nouveau to use glx? | 15:08 |
| samster34 | L3top, but how :S nvidia produced a weird config that only mentions one of the three monitors | 15:08 |
| nsahoo | I am sorry, I lost that message about xubuntu and xfce | 15:08 |
| samster34 | L3top, and when I try to disable the twinview crap and have them as separate screens, and apply those settings, and restart X, the dual DVI screen flashes red and the others stay black, and I can't do anything but reboot | 15:09 |
| L3top | samster34: It is going to be difficult to keep you at your desired resolution. I believe that this is part of the problem. Xorg sets a limitation for your virtual desktop size (of which each screen is a devisor) and I am not familiar with this technology, and do not know how it will behave. There may be a lot of rebooting involved, and testing undesired resolutions closer to 720p to see if this is the problem. | 15:09 |
| MoTec | what? i've got to install bind to get nslookup?!? Can that really be right? | 15:09 |

| smartboyhw | L3Top: :-) | 15:12 |
| samster34 | L3top, as much as it takes, I suppose :/ | 15:12 |
| MoneyDust | Guest131 ubuntu has virtualbox, it's better supported here | 15:12 |
| L3top | samster34: your call. I am happy to get this rolling... but it is gonna take a while. I have to generate custom modelines for each monitor, some not giving me any edid data... build large xorg.confs etc... I am willing to do it, because of my own reasons... but... I dont want to get half way through and you get frustrated and bail. | 15:12 |
| samster34 | L3top, I have the EDID exported from windows | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | chmod wont work at all on share i think WHAT_UP | 15:13 |
| samster34 | it has th emode and all. | 15:13 |
| Guest131 | MoneyDust, already running VB but VMware is more resilient, even I have an experience with it from WIndows. May I PM you about that article? | 15:13 |
| ghoti | Is there a Linux equivalent to BSD's "nullfs"? I've got a filesystem that I would like to mount into multiple VPS containers, but I'd like to avoid the overhead of NFS-mounting-from-localhost. | 15:13 |
| === axl__ is now known as axl_ | ||
| samster34 | L3top, I don't suppose that would help ? :) | 15:14 |
| MoneyDust | Guest131 no, i'm not familiar with it and the channel is safer | 15:14 |
| L3top | That is confusing to me samster34. If it is spitting EDID then it is spitting EDID. I would not expect linux to be confused by it. Regardless... that isnt particularly helpful here. | 15:14 |
| Maior | I'm trying to have an Ubuntu box with libvirt and KVM; why does libvirt-bin seem to depend on libxenstore3.0? | 15:14 |
| Maior | (this seems odd, I don't *want* Xen) | 15:15 |
| samster34 | L3top, spitting EDID? hm? | 15:15 |

| zain6267 | Im quite sure, as it works on a different computer, I previously had ubuntu on it and only got this after I removed it and reinstalled | 15:26 |

| DanielHoffman | I have a functional LAMP Server that I can conn ect to via a Local Network but I cant connect to it through the Internet, I port forwarded, do you think it is iptables? | 16:01 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: well, you have to searche for the kernel: linux-headers, linux-headers generic, linux-image | 16:01 |
| Mandalord | then sudo apt-get remove | 16:01 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : ok .. | 16:01 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: or write a short script to install the additional packages | 16:02 |
| jjk | game_recognize_g: If I create an image and burn it onto a DVD can I then install it onto another PC? | 16:02 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: and copy config files | 16:02 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: use "dpkg --get-selections | grep 3.3.3" to search | 16:02 |
| jjk | it is ment for people who do not have acces to the internet on certain devices | 16:02 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: after that, i think you should update grub | 16:02 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: depends | 16:03 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: rather not the way you imagine | 16:03 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : ok .. wait doing | 16:03 |
| jjk | game_recognize_g: how do people that create bio-linux etc create these distro's? | 16:03 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: full tar archive creation | 16:04 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: boot from live cd | 16:04 |
| game_recognize_g | partition and format drive | 16:04 |
| game_recognize_g | in a comparable fashion | 16:04 |
| game_recognize_g | and install grub | 16:04 |
| jjk | game_recognize_g: Yes but that is probably more complicated for certain people | 16:04 |
| game_recognize_g | jjk: maybe | 16:05 |
| jjk | game_recognize_g: I would like to create a linux distro with certain packages included to it that are sometimes not found in the apt-get | 16:05 |

| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : in /boot/ i see that in config-3.3.3 is having many error . | 16:06 |
| jjk | will be back later | 16:06 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : should i recompile .? | 16:07 |
| himanshu_m786 | . | 16:08 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: what are you doing? just run "sudo update-grub". Grub2 will automatically find the kernel | 16:09 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : oh .. ok i am doing this only . | 16:09 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: It will delete the entry of the testing kernel, if you have removed it | 16:10 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : i have not deleted it . should i delete file in /boot related to 3.3.3 | 16:12 |
| himanshu_m786 | ? | 16:12 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: How did you install the testting kernel? Via repo or compile? | 16:12 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : compile | 16:13 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: Did you want to remove the testing kernel or just delete the boot entry or something? | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 16:13 |
| Blazemore | Ubuntu got a kernel update at some point in the last week. Is there anywhere I can see a summary of this update? Rebooting servers is a drag and I'd rather not update unless I have to. Is there an RSS feed I can subscribe to so I can see whether these kinds of updates are worth installing immediately? | 16:13 |

| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : testing kernel . just get me out of here . | 16:14 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: Try apt-get remove linux-image-3.3.3-custom | 16:18 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : i got ***E: Unable to locate package linux-image-3.3.3-custom ***E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-3.3.3-custom' | 16:19 |
| Mandalord | ah thats bad | 16:20 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: well, the only choice left, browse to /etc/grub.d | 16:20 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: change file relating linux or something | 16:21 |
| Mandalord | to delete the entry of the new kernel | 16:22 |
| te | Mandalord: See what is actually installed. ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux* | 16:22 |
| himanshu_m786 | Mandalord : i saw that when i updated grub .. it searched for the file in /boot . then there it found the higher kernel number . and then reconifgured it . should i delete those 3.3.3 in /boot and again config the grub again . | 16:22 |
| Mandalord | himanshu_m786: well, if you upgrade your old kernel in the future (ie. 3.2.0-28), the testing kernel will reappear since we dont know how to remove it | 16:24 |
| wrapids | Easiest way to use IE9 on Ubuntu? | 16:24 |
| hektik | DONT | 16:24 |
| wrapids | hektik: But it's the bestest browser :( | 16:25 |
| wrapids | But seriously, gotta do some debugging on a magento site for IE9 | 16:25 |
| Mandalord | wrapids: bestest? | 16:25 |
| te | Mandalord: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-umage* #shorter list | 16:25 |
| MonkeyDust | wrapids sudo apt-get purge IE9 | 16:25 |
| wrapids | Mandalord: Giving him crap | 16:25 |
| wrapids | MonkeyDust: That's not productive. | 16:25 |
| Mandalord | te: what are you suggesting? | 16:28 |
| te | BladedThesis: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/ #Look at dates, (for list of updates) | 16:28 |

| rypervenche | wrapids: The best way to use IE9 on Ubuntu is to install Windows on your computer and ask ##Windows for help. :/ | 16:31 |
| te | Mandalord: You must have misstyped. | 16:32 |
| wrapids | rypervenche: As per my question _on_ _ubuntu_ | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | wrapids the best thing you can do with IE9, is deleting it | 16:32 |

| Depth | hey | 16:47 |
| histo | jess88: what are you trying to install? | 16:47 |
| trism | jess88: the -lvoid11 is listed before the object files, so the linker can't resolve the references with the new behavior in 11.10+ | 16:47 |
| trism | jess88: you will have to patch the make/automake files to fix the order or raise a bug with the developers of the code | 16:47 |
| jess88 | how do i do that? | 16:48 |
| trism | jess88: where did you get the code? | 16:48 |
| Depth | I've reinstalled my pc and running on windows with an i7 atm. Now I want a second partition with ubuntu and only get an amd64 installer. I don't want to use a torrent | 16:48 |

| jess88 | from this site http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/Void11Main.htm | 16:48 |
| alankila | once the target is built, the make tends to continue | 16:49 |

| Netbus | Greetings! | 16:56 |
| trism | L3top: would have thought it would have worked in backtrack, the linker changes didn't happen until 11.10 in ubuntu (and I found the bug if the user had waited a sec, used LDFLAGS instead of LDADD, common problem in upstreams) | 16:57 |
| * L3top stares at that and blinks | 16:58 | |

| WHAT_UP | say i want to queue up a bunch of commands, the last one being done by root. how do i do this so that the password prompt shows up first? | 17:14 |
| WHAT_UP | i can't do everything as root, since it requires wine | 17:14 |
| ayzee | sudo | 17:14 |
| ayzee | oh | 17:14 |
| WHAT_UP | it's my and only my computer, so i'd be fine with even something stupid like sudo --password="hunter2" [blah] if possible | 17:14 |
| ayzee | uh... sudo -i <password prompt>; sudo the rest of the commands as another user (no prompt) | 17:15 |
| WHAT_UP | i'm considering using xvkbd for that now, but that seems stupid | 17:15 |
| ayzee | so that way you become root, and then you can sudo as the other user without a password, and then execute the last command as root | 17:15 |
| WHAT_UP | ayzee: how do i sudo a command as a different user? | 17:15 |
| wachpwnski | can i set ubuntu to use mac style command + c instead of ctrl + c type of thing? | 17:15 |
| jrib | WHAT_UP: one way would be to do everything with sudo but just call "su - -c COMMAND" on the other commands. But you should explain exactly what you are trying to do in case we can give you better advice | 17:16 |
| ayzee | WHAT_UP: what i actually meant is what jrib said | 17:16 |
| WHAT_UP | jrib: i have one device mounted by root i want to copy the result to | 17:16 |
| ayzee | sudo to become root and use su to execute commands | 17:16 |
| jrib | WHAT_UP: result of what? | 17:17 |
| WHAT_UP | jrib: some script i wrote that creates an mp4 file | 17:17 |
| te | wachpwnski: What's the difference? | 17:17 |
| WHAT_UP | jrib: so it's just a sudo cp command at the end | 17:17 |
| te | wachpwnski: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts | 17:17 |
| jrib | WHAT_UP: can you not give your user access to that part of the mounted filesystem? | 17:17 |
| L3top | jflowersMTAP: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 17:18 |
| WHAT_UP | jrib: maybe. it's a mounted samba server i really only should be uploading files to. can i give a nonroot user access without messing up the server itself? | 17:18 |

| jrib | !sru | magma | 17:19 |
| ubottu | magma: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 17:19 |

| WHAT_UP | jrib: ah, got it. does COMMAND need to be in quotes? | 17:20 |

| Benkinooby | te the timeshift is quite random, it system time may be ahead or late, by minutes, or even serveral hours. it might be that i messed up somethng in the process of fixing it (i read about adjtime and that it notes my manual changes and will use them for future automated corrections... but i am not sure if that mechanism is active or even causes my problems) | 17:45 |

| chuck_ | ernie_ where do these labels show at? | 18:16 |
| ernie_ | chuck_: i'd expect labels to be layered on top of the previews | 18:16 |
| ernie_ | chuck_: but it seems i'm supposed to squint at thumbnails to know which window is what document | 18:17 |
| chuck_ | the documents dont have names below them featuring the file extension? | 18:17 |
| chuck_ | primenumber: that is a new thing right? i though we had webapps for a while now. | 18:18 |
| ernie_ | chuck_: I'm referring to the previews that show up when you have multiple windows of the same application... they aren't clearly labeled | 18:18 |
| chuck_ | primenumber: webapps are just shortcuts to things via the webright? | 18:18 |

| DebolazW | jameson: If the livecd won't decrypt it, the reason can't be that the software on your machine no longer supports decrypting the filesystem, so an update can't have caused it. | 18:36 |

| chuck_ | lesshaste: yeah i am running the latest, also with java 7 and it's loading fine for me. | 18:40 |
| chuck_ | lesshaste: im in ubuntu 12.04 64bit | 18:40 |
| marco_mesquita_ | daze: apart from that, if the need to use an rpm arises again, there's an utility called 'alien' which converts from rpm to deb | 18:41 |
| daze | chuck_: that suggests I install the '1.0-r6' version. I suppose the rpm (1.0) is newer? | 18:41 |

| chuck_ | daze: that way you are always up to date | 18:41 |
| s_ | no1 can help? | 18:41 |
| daze | marco_mesquita_: yeah, but alien does not let me convert a 32-bit package on a 64-bit system. So that's why I need help from a person running 32-bit.. | 18:41 |
| Guest15796 | ubuntu 12.04 running very well on any sort of machine | 18:42 |
| daze | chuck_: yeah, no luck there :/ | 18:42 |
| marco_mesquita_ | hmmm | 18:42 |
| Guest15796 | but on the old machine | 18:42 |
| Guest15796 | some problem with video card | 18:42 |
| daze | so, anybody kind enough to run | 18:42 |
| daze | wget http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/LaCie%20LightScribe%20Labeler%201.0%20Linux.rpm && mv "LaCie LightScribe Labeler 1.0 Linux.rpm" lacie_4l.rpm && sudo alien lacie_4l.rpm | 18:42 |
| daze | ? | 18:42 |
| chuck_ | daze: http://www.lacie.com/support/index.htm?id=10011 | 18:43 |
| daze | this will download the rpm, rename it (as alien does not like spaces) and convert it to .deb | 18:43 |
| chuck_ | daze: eh ...rpms | 18:43 |
| daze | chuck_: that provides the .rpm version I'm referencing. No .deb there.. | 18:43 |

| Thomas_ | Hello! | 18:49 |
| ziggy | hello | 18:49 |
| Thomas_ | I'm encountering some trouble with ubuntu installation | 18:49 |
| ziggy | what kind of trouble | 18:50 |
| chuck_ | Moleman: it's usually like "ln -s /home/user/text.txt /home/user/Desktop | 18:50 |
| chuck_ | Moleman as for an example | 18:50 |
| MoleMan | chuck_: shouldn't it be possible to symlink a whole folder? | 18:50 |
| chuck_ | Moleman: it might require more options..let me check | 18:51 |
| Thomas_ | I have a free partition of 20 gigs to install ubuntu on. I'm installing ubuntu from the CD. I chose to install it alongside my other OS. There's is a slider now that I need to allocate space to in order to install ubuntu | 18:51 |
| Thomas_ | Do I drag it left or right? | 18:51 |
| Thomas_ | silly question, but I can't risk it | 18:51 |
| Thomas_ | and why can't I use the whole partition? | 18:51 |
| MoleMan | chuck_: don't worry about it, not a clue why but its decided to work this time | 18:52 |
| schultza | what package is xmms in now? | 18:52 |
| MoleMan | chuck_: apparently giving it absolute locations rather than relative worked... | 18:52 |
| schultza | nvrmd | 18:52 |
| s_ | chuck: yes i know what u mean. But i couldnt get my thunderbird to run in background, like empahty. | 18:52 |
| bazhang | !xmms | schultza | 18:52 |
| ubottu | schultza: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious or xmms2 instead. | 18:52 |
| chuck_ | schultza: wow it's old now. i would say audacious | 18:52 |
| chuck_ | Moleman: ok bro | 18:52 |
| bazhang | schultza, install audacious. xmms2 is NOT what you want | 18:52 |
| ziggy | to the right i think there is a program that helps you load with windows | 18:53 |
| MoleMan | Thanks for the help | 18:53 |
| rava | does apt need me to pass -t for packages out of a ppa? | 18:53 |
| chuck_ | schultza: yeah audacious is currently in the repository, and up to date | 18:53 |
| s_ | chuck: i wish to run mail in background without open windows on my screen, just notice when new mail arraives like empathy has for msn and other stuff | 18:53 |
| hav0c_ | hello | 18:53 |
| chuck_ | schultza: it looks exactly the same as xmms | 18:53 |
| schultza | what's the differences (preferably neutral stance answers)? | 18:53 |
| chuck_ | s_: you got gmail? | 18:53 |
| bazhang | schultza, install and see, dont poll here | 18:54 |
| schultza | im not polling... im asking a pro/con style question.. jeez | 18:54 |
| chuck_ | schultza: they all pretty much do the same, audacious might have more features since it's up to date. but they all look like winamp | 18:54 |
| Galvatron | Thomas_: Stay away from the built-in partationing tools, unless you want a data loss. Use Gparted instead, and than simply choode "Something else", to set the pre-created partitions. | 18:54 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install audacious schultza | 18:54 |
| chuck_ | schultza | 18:54 |
| Thomas_ | alright thanks | 18:54 |
| s_ | chuck: yes | 18:55 |
| chuck_ | schultza: at first audacious looks like a different media player...but you can get it to look like xmms or winamp by changing the skin | 18:55 |
| schultza | ok.. that's why i like winamp... is the smaller gui footprint | 18:55 |

| chuck_ | s_: you can get a gmail app from the repository that stays in your system tray, and pops up with notifications on your desktop | 18:56 |
| Galvatron | Thomas_: Best split it in half, and give the other partition to the home directory | 18:56 |
| jameson | rypervenche: I'm in, I absolutely love you | 18:56 |
| chuck_ | s_: just type in gmail in the ubuntu software centre | 18:56 |
| bsmith093 | how can i find out what eating my swap space like the dod burns money? | 18:56 |
| bsmith093 | its maxed out | 18:57 |
| jameson | all you guys thank you so much for you help, I was so scared I lost my server | 18:57 |
| s_ | chuck: thanks <3, there so many apps for mail i must have missed it and couldnt figure out how to configure others to do that :) | 18:57 |
| daze | bsmith093: run system monitor and sort processes by memory used | 18:57 |
| schultza | same pro/con question for rythmbox vs audacity? | 18:57 |
| bsmith093 | i did, and i killed the highest one, firefox but the swap hasnt been freed? | 18:58 |
| rypervenche | jameson: ^^ Not sure what may have caused that. | 18:58 |
| DanielL | chuck: hello, do u posses knowlage and expierience about security testing? | 18:58 |
| chuck_ | schultza: rythmbox has ipod support. Looks different, and uses the buttons in the volume icon | 18:58 |
| jameson | rypervenche: there was a power outage possibly somthing got corrupted | 18:58 |
| deniska | I like exaile's interface | 18:59 |
| rypervenche | jameson: Ahh, that could do it. I recommend you backup your headers. | 18:59 |
| chuck_ | DanielL: not one of my strong areas at this moment | 18:59 |
| schultza | thanks | 18:59 |
| deniska | It is just my opinion (: | 18:59 |
| jameson | rypervenche: I'm backing up first thing :) and thank you once again | 18:59 |

| chuck_ | schultza: audacity is for editing sound files | 19:06 |
| chuck_ | schultza: also multitrack recording | 19:06 |

| ActionParsnip | trueneu: do you dual boot? | 19:59 |
| trueneu | ActionParsnip, yup I do. | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | trueneu: then in Windows disable the devices ability to wake up the OS as well as disable power management | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | trueneu: trueneu those chips also have a hard time with n speed wifi, so you may need to disable that if the link keeps dropping off | 20:01 |

| ozzloy | i'm trying to recover my svn pw. i can use svn to checkout, but git svn clone asks for a pw. i found the file that stores the svn pw, but it says it's in gnome-keyring. i looked into seahorse and i don't see anything about svn keys. is there another place to look for gnome-keyring keys? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | trueneu: there is no 'second OS', you just dual boot | 20:01 |
| ozzloy | ideally, i'd know my svn pw, but i haven't used it in about a year | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | trueneu: boot to windows and you can do it in device manager | 20:02 |
| trueneu | Let's say I don't boot into Windows. I have no Windows installed. | 20:02 |
| trueneu | So I can't boot into it as it's not my second OS. =) | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | trueneu: then try running: echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf > /dev/null | 20:03 |
| trueneu | I'll try to disable n modulation then, thanks. | 20:03 |
| trueneu | Uh-huh, thanks a lot. | 20:03 |

| maplesoft | ActionParsnip sure for individual apps? | 20:10 |

| zykotick9 | maplesoft: "sudo apt-get purge foo" is shorter ;) | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | maplesoft: if you run: dpkg -l | grep '^rc' you can remove those packages as they have residual configs installed | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: gah | 20:16 |
| pb | try it out.. | 20:17 |

| D77 | Can someone direct me to information on redirecting sites. I have a Ubuntu Amahi server with apache installed that hosts a virtual Ubutnu turnkey server running wordpress. I would like to my physical server to redirect "domain.com" to the local IP of the virtual Ubuntu server" | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | D77: could add it in /etc/hosts | 20:19 |
| deneme | ? | 20:20 |
| D77 | adding it in the hosts is like adding it to hosts on windows ? where from the local machine it knows where to go but what about for external users? | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | D77: yes, its the same mechanism | 20:24 |
| === smw is now known as smw_work | ||
| D77 | hrm. ok, will try it. based on what I know of windows hosts file this seems like it would not help for a external user out in the world. IE my router points to my physical server at .0.10 and my physical server hosts filepoints to my virtual hosted server at .0.5 and this works? | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | D77: hosts is NOT going to help with external systems, only the local one... | 20:29 |
| D77 | zykotick9,: how would I acomplish this then? I have a web blog I host I want to run virtual off my ubuntu amahi server. So I need my router to point to 192.168.0.10 for port 80 and then .0.10 to forward the traffic based on header to 192.168.0.5 | 20:30 |
| === jean__ is now known as papeck | ||

| D77 | I guess I could try and figure out how to port my turnkeylinux blog out of its server and into the physical one but man thats going to hurt | 20:33 |

| bazhang | !swap | daniel110 | 20:53 |
| ubottu | daniel110: 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 | 20:53 |

| zykotick9 | daniel110: with 3 partitions you could create an Extended partition - and thus have 2 logical inside, / and swap | 20:55 |
| lloowen1 | zykotick9: I'm running this ubuntu 10.04 on a thin client from a usb drive. I only have 128Mb RAM, so anything heavier than blackbox won't run. | 20:56 |

| randomparticle | is there any way of restarting gdm or whatever it is without using a keyboard? e.g., mouse only? | 21:03 |
| biopyte | ? | 21:03 |
| biopyte | zsh? | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: why would a different shell make any difference? | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | randomparticle: have you tried "compiz --replace" or "metacity --replace"? | 21:04 |
| biopyte | because some shells have built-in decimal arithmetics | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 is the keyboard responsive there? | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: without keyboard ;) | 21:04 |
| randomparticle | will that kill any running processes in existing terminals? | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i'm back to "reboot" then ;) | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: zsh is pretty decent | 21:04 |
| randomparticle | i.e., will it kill X and any dependent processes? | 21:05 |
| biopyte | what was the name of that other shell used by ubuntu? | 21:05 |
| biopyte | it wasnt bash | 21:05 |
| biopyte | something else | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: csh sh zsh bsh | 21:05 |
| biopyte | no, it was something else | 21:06 |
| biopyte | maybe i'm wrong | 21:06 |
| biopyte | sh | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_command_shells | 21:07 |
| biopyte | but what is sh? | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: fill your boots | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: its a command shell... | 21:07 |
| biopyte | which one | 21:07 |
| biopyte | ? | 21:07 |
| randomparticle | ok, managed to bring up a keyboard prefs program in hope of ressurrecting keyboard | 21:07 |
| biopyte | sh is a shell by itself | 21:07 |
| biopyte | ? | 21:07 |
| biopyte | ok | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | yes | 21:08 |
| randomparticle | but it's locked up and now it's covering some of the top left menu icons | 21:08 |
| biopyte | ok | 21:08 |
| randomparticle | so i've lost access to all that now | 21:08 |
| randomparticle | i still have access to icons top right | 21:08 |
| biopyte | does it have decimal arithmetics | 21:08 |
| biopyte | \? | 21:08 |
| randomparticle | is there anything i can do to rejig window server using those options? | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there, then run: kilall -u $USER and it will kill all your user's preocesses and log you off. | 21:08 |
| rincewind | BluesKaj, Thanks, I'll have a look | 21:08 |
| randomparticle | how many times do i have to tell you: it does not work | 21:09 |
| randomparticle | no keyboard input is being accepted. got it | 21:09 |
| randomparticle | nothing at all | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: is it a USB keyboard? | 21:09 |
| randomparticle | it's a uk keyboard | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: do you mean like this: http://linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial#10-1-arithmetic-comparisons | 21:09 |
| randomparticle | usb, sorry | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: yes but how does it connect to the system? | 21:10 |
| randomparticle | and ubuntu is running in a VM | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: then all you had to say is 'yes, it's usb. i never asked the language did I'? | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | randomparticle: try unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in after a few seconds | 21:10 |
| randomparticle | i read it as "US". did apologize after. perhaps you missed that | 21:10 |
| randomparticle | it's not a keyboard only issue as buttons are missing from windows | 21:11 |
| biopyte | Action, ok i give up, it always comes back to bc | 21:11 |
| biopyte | thanks | 21:11 |
| biopyte | good bye | 21:11 |

| soa2ii | Hi. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 server and set up a system with around 700 LVs in one VG. Now if I reboot the system it just hangs with random udev commands. Any suggestions? | 21:26 |
| MrBeans | i love ubuntu | 21:27 |
| Domovoi | My problem is just like this http://superuser.com/questions/454857/setting-the-primary-graphics-adapter-screen-for-kernel-mode-setting ..... I have amd dual graphics enabled for gaming in windows, but i dont need this setting in linux. My problem is that I boot up any ubuntu and it goes black during that loading screen and then comes on perfect once x comes up, also when i try to switch to console like alt f1 - f6 it does not work .. | 21:27 |
| Domovoi | If i disabled the dual graphics in the bios it works , so i think what i need to do is tell the kernel to use my pciE graphics card and not my onboard. | 21:27 |
| Errare | Can anyone recommend any good free software where I can listen to podcasts and live music streams from the internet etc | 21:28 |
| epinky | brophat: does "sudo iwlist scan" show something? | 21:28 |
| brophat | epinky yes that was step 1, I got past that | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Domovoi: tried the 'text' mode Just to see if that works? it might be a framebuffer issue | 21:28 |
| Errare | I Just realized im in the wrong chat my bad... sorry >.> walks away slowly.... | 21:29 |
| epinky | brophat: until what step you go through? | 21:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Errare: 'streamtuner' perhaps.. and i think most of the media players can do some sort of streams. | 21:29 |

| hydrox24 | how can I downgrade cups to a version that worked for me (I'm on 12.04) | 21:29 |
| Errare | Oh thanks Dr_WIllis. I just got this linux distro today... been tinkering learning stuff but I cant live without music too ^^ cheers | 21:30 |
| brophat | epinky i got past steps 1 & 2, and I think I also did steps 3 & 4, but the problem is I don't really know what he is saying in steps 3 & 4 | 21:30 |
| zykotick9 | hydrox24: downgrading is always a bad idea (and unsupported as well). you'd probably be breaking a lot of dependencies by trying to add an old cups. | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | rincewind, I assume you load your media or links to your media in the server playlist application | 21:30 |
| gvo | Have they released a 12.04 live cd that fixed the Broadcom network card problem yet? | 21:31 |
| brophat | epinky I think he is just saying click on the wifi showing in the network manager on the top bar | 21:31 |
| brophat | epinky see if you can understand what he is saying in those steps | 21:31 |
| hydrox24 | zykotick9: but the only solution to my printer problem that I can find is one for gentoo which involves lots of patches and compiling and that scares me :( | 21:32 |
| rincewind | BluesKaj, I only installed coherence, is there some kind of playlist app for it/what's the command? | 21:32 |
| epinky | brophat: I think that he means that if you're able to achieve "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off", then you're good to go via Network Manager Applet to configure your wifi connection | 21:32 |
| Tex_Nick | Errare : try VLC it plays most video, audio & streams | 21:32 |
| agentgasmask | Hi all. Does anyone know what package glibc-header files are in? | 21:32 |
| brophat | epinky is Network Manager on the upper toolbar? | 21:32 |
| brophat | epinky like by the clock and the sound volume controls? | 21:33 |
| Errare | OK cheers, looking at them both now. Shame my distro don't have it preinstalled ah well :) | 21:33 |

| epinky | and the icon* | 21:33 |
| jancz | how do i add a user to sudoers in ubuntu 12.04? | 21:34 |
| brophat | epinky ok so I guess I have done what he says. so essentially all he is saying is do the command sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off it seems like no? | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | jancz: add the use to the "sudo" group | 21:34 |
| jancz | oh | 21:34 |
| jancz | it used to be 'wheel' i think | 21:34 |
| epinky | brophat: yeah, that's what I understood | 21:34 |
| jancz | thanks :p | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | jancz: it used to be 'admin' i know | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | jancz: wheel is to become root - not used in ubuntu ever (i think) | 21:35 |
| brophat | epinky yeah that is how I am reading it too. but oh well still I get slow speeds and sometimes dropped connections. Oh well | 21:35 |
| jancz | is there any way to add user to groups that other user is in? | 21:36 |
| jancz | like copy them | 21:36 |
| epinky | brophat: be careful since that command is valid just for the active session and it will not survive a reboot | 21:36 |
| epinky | brophat: try changing changing channel of the AP, maybe it's not your wireless card | 21:36 |
| brophat | epinky but I also followed his instructions about making the file /etc/pm/power.d/wireless | 21:37 |
| epinky | brophat: then you accomplished what he aims to accomplish | 21:37 |
| brophat | epinky change channel of AP means what? | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: i believe rhythmnbox can play podcasts etc, be sure toinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras and gnome-mplayer :) | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jancz: sudo usermod -a -G sudo usernametoadd | 21:38 |
| jancz | zykotick9: i have added my user to sudo group, but the error still occurs | 21:38 |
| zykotick9 | jancz: logged out/back in? | 21:39 |
| jancz | zykotick9: nope, doing that | 21:39 |
| jancz | zykotick9: brb | 21:39 |
| Errare | ActionParsnip: Why install them? I'm using the backtrack 5 distro too | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: backtrack isn't supported here | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: ask ni #backtrack-linux | 21:39 |
| Errare | Its built upon ubuntu. I've also already got support. thanks though :) | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | we know whats its built on.. :) | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: none of the ubuntu based distros are supported here | 21:40 |
| Domovoi | dr_willis Ok i tried text mode and it went to black screen no video to my monitor, I think it is trying to use my onboard. | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: Ubuntu is based on Debian, but if we ask for Ubuntu support in #debian we'd will be pointed here | 21:41 |
| Errare | I see, fair enough. I was only after music software recommendations anyway. | 21:41 |
| Errare | Yep you're right. | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: installing sound stuff on backtrack is dumb, its a network tool | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Errare: using it for your daily stuff is not the intended use of backtrack | 21:41 |
| Errare | I know what it is and I need music :P | 21:42 |

| andrewx | How do I check disk drive integrity? is there a hdd scan utility | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | andrewx | 21:42 |
| ubottu | andrewx: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | andrewx: check the filesystems? or the smart info? | 21:42 |
| Errare | I don't believe I said what I used it for. Thanks for the concerns though. | 21:42 |

| pseudosudo | Newbie question, can someone explain what these parameters do after a command line: " > /dev/null 2>&1 & " | 22:16 |
| ArchangelSe7en | you are BadgerGuest596 | 22:17 |
| rypervenche | pseudosudo: They hide all output and let you run the program in the background, thus allowing you to continue to write more commands in your terminal. | 22:17 |
| o12 | I rebooted Ubuntu 12.04 and now my language is set to Chinese. | 22:17 |
| o12 | How can I change my language back to English? | 22:17 |
| pseudosudo | rypervenche, thanks but more specifically what is the function of > and the meaning of 2>&1 & | 22:18 |
| o12 | This is absolutely amazing that I can have my system crash, and the language changes. | 22:18 |
| rypervenche | pseudosudo: "> /dev/null" this sets the standard output to /dev/null (basically like a trash, kind of), "2>&1" This sends standard error to the same place that standard output is being sent, "&" this throws the command to the background. | 22:18 |
| brophat | chuck I think the linux community should do a better job of figuring out what wifi cards work best | 22:19 |
| pseudosudo | rypervenche, thanks a lot. Exactly what i was looking for | 22:19 |
| fishbait | o12: system > system settings > language support (blue flag icon) | 22:19 |
| rypervenche | pseudosudo: > is an output redirect. It only affects the output of the program, a.k.a. the text that it puts on your screen. | 22:19 |
| brophat | chuck I think the wifi is a weak link in this linux thing | 22:19 |
| epinky | brophat: the wifi network you're trying to access is public? is it your own router wifi? | 22:19 |
| o12 | I found the language panel,but what I'm supposed to do is totally unintuitive. | 22:20 |
| pseudosudo | rypervenche, thanks. Can all programs be put in the background with & ? | 22:20 |
| brophat | epinky my own routwer | 22:20 |
| o12 | I draagged English above Chinese.. but nothing changed... | 22:20 |
| fishbait | you see the box with the different languages? | 22:20 |
| epinky | brophat: then try to change the operational channel in your wifi-router | 22:20 |
| ArchangelSe7en | apply , logout and log bacj in | 22:20 |
| ArchangelSe7en | back* | 22:20 |
| fishbait | is english in that list? | 22:21 |
| brophat | epinky you want me to change something in the router? cause I am at my mothers house and she has phones and stuff using the router too | 22:21 |
| fishbait | o12: is english in that list? | 22:21 |
| o12 | I can't read all of your replies, because for some reason XChat is truncating the last words. | 22:21 |
| fishbait | o12: is english in list? | 22:22 |
| epinky | brophat: yes, you can try that, is it about discarding about interference problems | 22:22 |
| o12 | This after my DM crashed the syste. And I had to hard reboot during bootup, edit GRUB three times, and disconnect my external display to get Ubuntu to even boot! | 22:22 |
| o12 | It's in the list | 22:22 |
| o12 | I'll try logging out. Thanks. | 22:22 |
| fishbait | drag it to the top then click the button right below the list. | 22:22 |
| fishbait | o12: drag it to the top then click the button right below the list. | 22:23 |
| epinky | brophat: try doing some kind of diagnosis based on kismet, | 22:23 |
| brophat | epinky wouldn't I just need to change the chan nel in my wifi card? | 22:23 |
| epinky | brophat: no, the channel is the channel your equipment is operating | 22:23 |
| epinky | brophat: your equipment is your wifi-router | 22:24 |
| chuck | brophat: change the channel on your router | 22:24 |
| brophat | epinky chuck but what about all the other stuff using the router like the phones? | 22:24 |
| chuck | brophat: all devices will pick up on whatever channel you set your router to | 22:25 |
| brophat | chuck | 22:25 |
| brophat | chuck ok | 22:25 |
| chuck | brophat: say like you turn on the radio, and one channel is fuzzy..but the next channel sounds great. That is pretty much all it is doing | 22:25 |
| brophat | but I will tell you. linux is free, but is it really free when yu consider how many hours this wifi card has cost me bwahahahah | 22:25 |
| chuck | brophat: that's the fun of linux. you actually feel like your learning when you use it. Also, when you get stuff working. you feel very much accomplished | 22:26 |
| fishbait | linux is for the cheap and geeky | 22:26 |
| brophat | chuck however, speedtest on my smart phone is good | 22:26 |
| Chamunks | I've got syntax highlighter that I would like to install into gedit on ubuntu but i dont know where gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs is | 22:26 |
| chuck | brophat: that's why windows feels boring to me | 22:26 |
| brophat | chuck true | 22:26 |
| caixa | is it possible to get chromium os desktop environment on ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| chuck | brophat: i have had my phones 4g be faster than wifi before..haha | 22:27 |
| brophat | chuck my phone speed test, and my mother's puter the speed test is all good, it is only my linux box that is slow | 22:27 |
| Chamunks | chuck, i second that. Sometimes though I like to reverse something after I've been told how to do it. | 22:27 |
| brophat | chuck no my phone is using the wifi | 22:27 |
| zykotick9 | fishbait: how can you stay here after saying "18:26 < fishbait> linux is for the cheap and geeky"? | 22:27 |
| brophat | chuck i think it is my wifi card. | 22:27 |
| chuck | brophat: how far are you from your router? | 22:28 |
| brophat | as far away as my mother's puter is and as far away as my phone is. I dunno maybe 30 feet max | 22:28 |
| chuck | caixa: i think this is the best it gets for making ubuntu look like chrome-os http://tutafuta.com/2011/05/13/convert-your-ubuntu-into-chrome-os/ | 22:29 |
| zykotick9 | caixa: god i hope not... | 22:29 |
| chuck | brophat: you got walls between you and the router? cause my router is down the hall in one room, and i get two bars | 22:30 |
| chuck | brophat: That is like not even 10 feet | 22:30 |
| caixa | chuck, zykotick9 - i was mainly looking at the sleek theme - http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/04/chromebook-aura-4-1334064355.jpg | 22:30 |
| caixa | looks really nice | 22:31 |
| chuck | brophat: also ive noticed, about wireless...dont put it above or below a microwave...you turn that on, and it drops your connection | 22:31 |
| brophat | yeah there are some wall obstacles. but the point is my mother's computer has same situation and my phone as well and they get consistanly about 10 Mb/s, my linux gets about 3 Mb/s | 22:31 |
| chuck | brophat: hmm | 22:31 |
| * zykotick9 thinks wireless is "slow" 90+% of the time compared to wired connections. my htpc is now wired, it used to be wireless - but streaming was poor, as was general "reliability" | 22:31 | |
| soa2ii | Hi. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 server and set up a system with around 700 LVs in one VG. Now if I reboot the system it just hangs with random udev commands. Any suggestions? | 22:32 |
| brophat | chuck so i think it is what itis. the linux driver for rt3090 sucks | 22:32 |
| brophat | chuck even though ralink supposedly works with linux and provides drivers for rt3090 | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | brophat: did yuo compile the driver? | 22:33 |
| bbbbbbbb | what distribution is the best for powerPC hardware? I'm currently using ubuntu and never tried anything else. | 22:33 |
| brophat | ActionParsnip the compilation had errors | 22:34 |
| fishbait | its free and has a reputation as being geeky hence cheap and geeky | 22:34 |
| ArchangelSe7en | bbbbbbbb, MintPPC | 22:34 |
| brophat | I think rt3090 is the apex of linux frustration | 22:34 |
| chuck | brophat: you could try sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | brophat: i'd say suspend when it doesn't work OOTB on laptops | 22:35 |
| brophat | chuck even when I am getting 54M I still get slow download speeds | 22:35 |
| brophat | ActionParsnip suspend what? | 22:36 |
| fishbait | being chep and heeky isn't bad i'm not saying anyhintg badd about ubuntu its a generalization but this is getting off-topic so i'm ending this conversation | 22:36 |
| caixa | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNs0kNOIBnk | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | brophat: ike sleep / hibernate etc | 22:36 |
| fishbait | *cheap and geeky | 22:36 |
| chuck | brophat: i had peppermint os three on here before i put ubuntu on it. i noticed the download rates were faster. odd thing | 22:36 |
| brophat | chuck I mean look fellas, the rt3090 wifi chipset has been a big prob in linux for a long time. you can google all the probs | 22:37 |
| brophat | and what is crazy is ralink provides the drivers | 22:37 |
| chuck | brophat: all i can say is keep pushing through with it until you can get something better man | 22:37 |
| zykotick9 | chuck: on peppermint or ubuntu - download rates faster? | 22:38 |
| brophat | chuck yeah i think I am just gonna get a new wifi card | 22:38 |
| chuck | zykotick9: with peppermint my internet was at a way faster rate | 22:38 |
| fishbait | i have an external 500gb drive my internal drives are 500gb /home 80gb / how do i back them both up to the external drive i haben't used more than 500gb though | 22:39 |
| bbbbbbbb | ArchangelSe7en: thanks. I'll try it | 22:39 |

I'm on 11.10 and I have various services that keep auto-starting on boot up. sysv-rc-conf shows disabled. chkconfig shows disabled. update-rc.d says 'system start/stop links don't exist'. Anyone know where I should poke next? | 22:46 |
| chuck | piranah: you want to record your desktop? | 22:47 |
| subcool | what program is good for scan disk? | 22:47 |
| Piranah | chuck no D-View is a dlink program for video surveillance | 22:47 |
| zykotick9 | !upstart | victorg start here to understand why. ubuntu uses upstart. all the tools you mention are sysv | 22:47 |
| ubottu | victorg start here to understand why. ubuntu uses upstart. all the tools you mention are sysv: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 22:47 |

| victorg | I really appreciate all the help. | 22:51 |
| victorg | Yeah, I'm really impressed with the Ubuntu repositories and modern kernels. | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | victorg: ubuntu user's aren't expected to use services - thus your issue(s) | 22:51 |
| victorg | zykotick9: not sure I understand your statement | 22:52 |
| zykotick9 | victorg: there is no tool in ubuntu for service management | 22:52 |
| victorg | zykotick9: oh | 22:52 |
| victorg | zykotick9: so you just chmod -x /etc/init.d/foo? | 22:52 |
| subcool | how do i run a fsck (or something ) on my sdcrad? | 22:52 |
| magoo | is there something up with the ubuntu repos? | 22:52 |
| magic-uk | I used to use fedora, but couldnt get on with it at all. Hate the fact you have to setup everything from scatch (call me lazy) but i like things just to work straight out of the box! I relise fedora is aimed more for advanced users but hey ho ;) | 22:53 |

| trism | victorg: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting | 22:53 |

| subcool | hey chuck- | 22:53 |
| subcool | chuck, card reader | 22:53 |
| chuck | subcool: something like /dev/sdb? | 22:53 |

| subcool | i suppose | 22:53 |
| chuck | fsck /dev/sdb | 22:53 |

| starter2 | <zykotick9> starter2: what did "startx -- :1" give for an error? ----> I wouldn't know, I lose visual | 23:10 |
| === Lloir is now known as Lloir|Sleeping | ||
| starter2 | <zykotick9> starter2: do you really want a new screen, or a combined screen? ---> New | 23:10 |
| zykotick9 | starter2: try "startx -- :0" or "startx -- :3" i doubt the last suggestion... | 23:10 |
| DrakeH | The thing I'm trying to install is subversion (easy enough: apt-get install subversion) ... but it's just not working | 23:10 |
| starter2 | its an Ati Mobility radeon HD 5000 | 23:11 |
| starter2 | :0 is default is it not? | 23:11 |
| starter2 | so when i do startx i lose contact means :0 would be the same | 23:11 |
| starter2 | i will try | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | starter2: good luck then - sorry ati = instant /ignore more me. hope you find a solution! | 23:11 |
| subcool | chuck, ok- i like tha tpgoram, i use to use it on ubuntu. but nothing. It didnt scan it.. | 23:11 |
| DrakeH | So I'm wondering why I can't use my apt to install stuff ... it's not even due to my sources.list as the install is brand new and it worked 1 week ago | 23:11 |
| chuck | subcool: what is on that usb stick? | 23:12 |
| starter2 | zykotick9, well that is rather ignorant and vulgar... /ignoring a significant share of the market | 23:12 |
| bazhang_ | starter2, is ubuntu or backtrack | 23:12 |
| chuck | subcool: if there isn't anything on there you want to keep i would just gparted it | 23:12 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: what's the error message? | 23:12 |
| Chamunks | I remember i could mount an sftp mount point to the filesystem via the fstab before is there a new way of doing this these days? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: use nautilus | 23:13 |
| starter2 | bazhang_, backtrack | 23:13 |
| bazhang_ | starter2, thats not supported here | 23:13 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, im looking to mount it seamlessly to a directory so that wine will load files from it. | 23:13 |
| bazhang_ | !backtrack | starter2 | 23:13 |
| ubottu | starter2: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| andrewx | SOMEONE help: What creates terminal message "Bus Error" What does this mean???? | 23:13 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: on what? E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? (when using apt-get) ... Failed to fetch http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'be.archive.ubuntu.com' and W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. (for apt-get update) | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang_: lol - i didn't know. | 23:14 |
| DrakeH | well, update just gives loads of those | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: you can add it in /etc/fstab then add a command to mount the mount point in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: is it ubuntu repos that are erroring or something else? | 23:14 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| DrakeH | zykotick9: just a fresh installl .. | 23:14 |
| DrakeH | haven't done anything crazy | 23:15 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, that should help too since i've noticed some drives dont auto mount on boot. | 23:15 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: do you have internet connection? | 23:15 |
| Chamunks | !fstab | chamunks | 23:15 |
| ubottu | Chamunks, please see my private message | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: yeah, fstab is procesed before the network comes up, so you can imagine the issues it causes | 23:15 |
| DrakeH | hmpf, I wonder if that's it ... I can connect to it locally | 23:15 |
| chuck | jen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e58m-UAbZoE | 23:15 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: you have a local repo? | 23:15 |
| chuck | subcool: i gotta go man, take care | 23:15 |
| andrewx | WHAT is a BUS ERROR <-- what does it mean? | 23:15 |
| subcool | chuck, thanks.. later | 23:16 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: no, obviously not ... but the server is connected to my home network | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | andrewx: in what context | 23:16 |
| Chamunks | fair enough i remember there was a package i needed to get like sftp something in synaptic (that was the last time i did this was when synaptic was the main pm) | 23:16 |
| andrewx | "Bus errorackage lists... 0%" | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: you can still use synaptics, the sftp command is in a default install | 23:16 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: hm, broadcast seems to be commented out in interfaces | 23:16 |
| andrewx | Terminal keeps printing "Bus Error" | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | andrewx: even in xterm? | 23:17 |
| DrakeH | could that be it ? The rest should be fine | 23:17 |
| Chamunks | i dont need synaptic the ubuntu one is fine most of the time if not i dont mind the command line. | 23:17 |
| andrewx | Obviously I another PC to find out things | 23:18 |
| Chamunks | AcidRain2012, synaptic was just nice to have to teach you what was happening. | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: i guess, I always use apt-fast | 23:19 |
| jen | how the heck to I take the webcam studio and install it? | 23:19 |
| jen | I downloaded it | 23:19 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126146/ ... that's the one I am currently using | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu has a how to. It's omn their website! | 23:20 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: try uncommenting broadcast, and reboot (or restart networking successfully) | 23:21 |
| mastavra | how can I listen mms radio stations on ubuntu | 23:21 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: assuming other info is correct... | 23:21 |
| jen | my small brain cannot comprehend | 23:21 |
| DrakeH | well I have a local connection to my server, so something must be right | 23:22 |
| jen | Im used to, 'download' 'install' 'press button' Walah! | 23:22 |
| mastavra | how can I listen mms radio stations on ubuntu | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: read the page I gave you... | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mastavra: there is a radio lens for dash | 23:23 |
| jen | I did but I dont get it | 23:23 |
| jen | how is this connected with the website, LiveStream? | 23:23 |
| UbuntuLover | I currently have two partitions on my hard drive. 15 GB data drive, and 235 GB Partition with windows 8 release preview on it. How do i replace W8RP while keeping the 15 GB Data drive UNTOUCHED. | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: wget http://webcamstudio.googlecode.com/files/webcamstudio_0.56_all.deb; sudodpkg -i ./webcamstudio_0.56_all.deb | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: all you had to do was double click the deb file you have, that command just does that stuff for you | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: reading the web page told you that | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: "Locate the Webcamstudio.deb package, double click it and follow the prompts for an installation. | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: too hard? | 23:25 |
| Fyodorovna | UbuntuLover, replace with what? | 23:25 |
| UbuntuLover | Ubuntu 12.04 | 23:25 |
| UbuntuLover | I want to install Ubuntu on the W8 partition, while leaving the Data partition UNTOUCHED | 23:26 |
| Fyodorovna | UbuntuLover, use the something else option from the live cd, format that partiton to a ext4 put / for mount and install | 23:26 |
| jen | it did not bring up the installation window | 23:26 |
| UbuntuLover | thank you. | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: is the deb installed in the terminal ok? | 23:26 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, apt-fast ... hmm | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: yep. apt-get + axel = apt-fast | 23:27 |
| mastavra | is there somebody help me about "how can I listen mms radio stations on ubuntu" | 23:29 |
| jen | yeah Im just stupid | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: if you are installing it, when you get it in, install something chunky like gimp (if its not already in) and watch it flyyyyy | 23:30 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, sounds like fun I'll try to remember i have it but i'm installing it now :P | 23:30 |
| jen | It brings me to ubuntu studio but there isn't really any good views on this webcam thing | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: does the webcam work in cheese? | 23:30 |
| subcool | SO no one uses a GUi based disk check? | 23:30 |
| jen | ActionParsnip, yes | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: good, thats the hard part :) | 23:31 |
| jen | okay what i did was, i went to install on the website where it has the picture and links at the side, I clicked on that and it brought me to the ubuntu software | 23:31 |
| === BUSTACAP is now known as bustacap | ||
| jen | and it says... | 23:32 |
| jen | Dependency is not satisfiable: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse | 23:32 |
| jen | no idea what the heck that means | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: then run: sudo apt-get -f install | 23:32 |
| jen | thats all? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: the webcam studio app needs that package to work, it depends on it being instaled in order to do what it needs to do | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: its a good start | 23:33 |
| jen | okay I did that | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: is it installing now? | 23:33 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, so i could go by this http://goo.gl/LCh6H | 23:34 |
| phunyguy | can someone recommend a banking app like Quicken that can do online bank data importing (OFX), and is fairly easy to set up? | 23:34 |
| phunyguy | I couldnt get GnuCash to work and the double entry accounting is overkill. | 23:34 |
| jen | im trying to install it right now ActionParsnip | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: sure, or you can use this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/you-can-now-install-apt-fast-from-ppa.html | 23:35 |
| phunyguy | and KMyMoney doesnt have what I need | 23:35 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, i like ppa's | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: the postinst adds nice autocompletes to the system, simply using the script means you can't TAB complete 'install' 'purge' etc | 23:35 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, i even like sections of code that I dont even need to think about that I can copy n paste in. | 23:36 |
| Chamunks | dont get me wrong i did skim it to make sure it seemed legit but still :P | 23:36 |
| andrewx | a "bus error" is related to bad RAM? | 23:37 |
| andrewx | using free /h reports proper RAM, so I don't know. | 23:37 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, are the arguments / variables similar to apt-get would it be possible to modify the ubuntu software center to work with apt-fast? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: one adds the ppa, the next rereads all sources (including the new ppa), the 3rd installs the package..... | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: they are identical | 23:38 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, so essentially it could be recompiled to run with apt-fast ( i keep trying to typo apt-ghast frigging minecraft) | 23:38 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, that ppa is 404'ing during apt-get update | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: i guess | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: or just compiled to use axel by default... | 23:39 |
| Chamunks | so is axel the graphical package manager? | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: no, its a way to download a single file given multiple sources (kinda like torrents) | 23:40 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, oh nice ugh i really wasnt going to delve into more stuff why am i so ADD bleh ok im gonna add the ppa from launchpad.net | 23:41 |
| rretzbach | I want to emulate keyboard strokes using "xte" but can't find it in universe, has it been removed? I use 12.04 | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | Fyodorovna: a default ubuntu install should have both a / and a swap partition (problem if there are already 4 partitions to start with) | 23:43 |
| Fyodorovna | zykotick9, Why are we having this conversation? | 23:44 |
| jen_ | okay now | 23:45 |
| jen_ | how to do share my screen via livestream? | 23:45 |
| zykotick9 | Fyodorovna: sorry, context "19:26 < Fyodorovna> UbuntuLover, use the something else option from the live cd, format that partiton to a ext4 put / for mount and install" | 23:45 |

| === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug | ||
| Wug | alright so | 23:47 |
| Wug | utility question | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: ok, run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install apt-fast | 23:47 |

| === jay is now known as Guest50318 | ||
| Wug | I've been having disk trouble lately | 23:47 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: network is the .0 address, broadcast is 255 (typically) | 23:47 |
| bazhang | !enter | Wug | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Wug: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:47 |
| Fyodorovna | zykotick9, right personally I don't use a swap I use this. http://pqxx.org/development/swapspace/ I have been using open source for about 5 years I started withit. As wel I made that comment right between ActionParsnip's comments he had nothing to say. | 23:48 |
| tedromer | join #bigstore | 23:48 |
| Wug | I'd like to run fsck on some things without rebooting | 23:48 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, I can leave the other ppa there incase it comes back online and that will be fine? | 23:48 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: when I uncomment broadcast (which is set to 192.168.0.255) it causes my interface to be disabled, can't get it running that way | 23:48 |
| Wug | I've got them mounted readonly but fsck still complains that its mounted, is it safe to fsck it anyway | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | Fyodorovna: wfm isn't a good support suggestion. | 23:48 |
| DrakeH | and when I comment it I only have local access but dont have internet access | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: re-paste your interfaces... if you will. | 23:49 |
| tedromer_ | join #bigstore | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: you can remove the PPA if you want, you can run: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge; sudo ppa-purge ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net | 23:49 |
| Wug | tedromer_: you mean /join | 23:49 |
| Fyodorovna | zykotick9, tich tich get over it, It will not cause damage or create a problem and actually answerede the users question. | 23:49 |
| Fyodorovna | answered* | 23:50 |
| jen_ | anyone? | 23:50 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126175/ ... on eth0 I get internet access, on eth1 I get local access .. if I uncomment broadcast it stops working (eth1) | 23:50 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, which package manager to install and remove software apt-get or aptitude I should choose apt-get yes? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jen_: i'm guessing no as nobody responded.. | 23:50 |
| jen_ | x-x | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: either is fine | 23:50 |
| jen_ | so I just installed this... | 23:50 |
| jen_ | for nothing? | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: thanks. sorry from what you've given - that appears correct "to me". hopefully someone else has an answer. | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jen_: there are about 1500 users here, the ubuntu user base is in the millions, try later or search the forums. Great attitude by the way | 23:51 |
| DrakeH | Anyone else then who knows a thing or 2 about network interfaces? | 23:52 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, ok it looks to have been installed but typing in sudo apt-fast ins TAB doesnt autocomplete | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: if you run it anyway, does it run ok? | 23:53 |
| Chamunks | seems to run fine yeh | 23:53 |
| * Wug nominates bazhang | 23:53 | |
| jen_ | does anyone on here know how to connect the webcamstudio to livestream? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: if you run: which apt-fast what is output? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: in what way? | 23:54 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, i jumped ahead and did an apt-fast update then apt-fast upgrade already :P | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: sweet, do you have gimp installed? | 23:54 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: well, I am having issues getting internet access on a static interface I configured -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126175/ | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: or, did you see how apt-fast differs to apt-get already :) | 23:54 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, I do I'm trying to think of something i dont thats bigger. | 23:54 |
| DrakeH | I get local network access, but no internet access | 23:54 |
| Chamunks | I'm guessing what its doing is downloading from multiple mirros. | 23:55 |
| Chamunks | mirrors. | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: could reinstall your kernel package, thats quite big | 23:55 |
| starter2 | bazhang, i tried ubuntu boot. It was connected to my external at the begining, as soon as it loaded the X session, external got unplugged | 23:55 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, oh and how would i do that and would that not cause issues somehow (my install is fairly vanilla though so idk maybe not) | 23:55 |
| Wug | I've got some disks that need fscking, mounted readonly. fsck complains that theyre mounted, is it safe to fsck them anyway? | 23:56 |
| yeats | Wug: no - it's not safe - you should boot into a live CD and do it from there | 23:56 |
| OerHeks | jen_, here is a howto to publish on ustream, maybe a help with your service > http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: re: DrakeH - from http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126175/ i don't see an issue - do you? (my suggestion to uncomment broadcast and restart results in no network - i'm told) | 23:57 |
| bazhang | starter2, thats backtrack | 23:57 |
| starter2 | no, backtrack starts into console | 23:57 |
| bazhang | starter2, #backtrack-linux | 23:57 |
| starter2 | and when u do startx, then it loses it | 23:57 |
| starter2 | ubuntu does it automatically | 23:57 |
| starter2 | because it does startx automatically | 23:57 |
| Wug | yeats: why not? I was under the impression that horrible things only happened to people who wrote to a disk that fas fscking itself | 23:57 |
| Wug | was* | 23:57 |
| escapeplan | Anybody here using openbox ? | 23:58 |
| yeats | Wug: it is never a good idea to fsck a mounted disk | 23:58 |
| Wug | I guess I'll just unmount it | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | !anyone | escapeplan | 23:58 |
| ubottu | escapeplan: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:58 |
| W4sp | DrakeH: ActionParsnip: zykotick9: It would be interesting to see what your route currently is. As eth0 is dhcp'ed you may have your metrics wrong? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | escapeplan: i use it some days, in lubuntu | 23:59 |
| Wug | I'm not booting so it doesnt need /boot anyway | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: maybe a bad route? | 23:59 |
| DrakeH | W4sp: I just checked ... I dont have a cable plugged into other ethernet port | 23:59 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: could be?? | 23:59 |
