| DrakeH | Here are my routes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126193/ | 00:00 |
| W4sp | DrakeH: Do you have two IF, one physically connected, the other is disconnected? | 00:00 |
| DrakeH | (I dont really have much experience in configuring these kind of things :p) | 00:00 |
| sirriffsalot | How do I delete an encrypted hard disk when I can't boot into a live cd on the computer? | 00:01 |
| DrakeH | W4sp: that's correct ... my server has 2 IFs, 1 of which is used, 1 of which is not | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: my default gw has a metric of zero | 00:01 |
| DrakeH | the one in use right now is eth1 (the static) | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: and 192.168.0.0 has a metric of 1 | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: there is also no link-local line | 00:02 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: that's chinese to my ears man :p | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126199/ | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: no idea either dude, sorry but mine works so maybe it's significant | 00:02 |
| DrakeH | well, is there any way I could configure those? | 00:03 |
| jen_ | OerHeks, no not Ustream, Livestream | 00:03 |
| DrakeH | This is my first attempt at messing about with static IPs in my interfaces | 00:03 |
| phunyguy | can someone recommend a banking app like Quicken that can do online bank data importing (OFX), and is fairly easy to set up? I couldnt get GnuCash to work and the double entry accounting is overkill. And KMyMoney doesnt have what I need. | 00:04 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: fyi using interfaces file, disables Netowork-Manager - the default ubuntu way to configure networks. | 00:04 |
| DrakeH | zykotick9: ok fair enough ... would that be easier to configure a static ip with then? | 00:04 |
| DrakeH | I basically just need to have a local static IP which I can access my server with, while at the same time it has to be connected to the internet | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: no idea. i use interfaces ;) | 00:05 |
| DrakeH | lol .. | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: try installing wicd, it has a nice cli ui too | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: wicd is consider "deprecated" by upstream... | 00:05 |
| W4sp | DrakeH: I'm curious if you can actually ping your gw? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: really, awww it's awesome though :( | 00:06 |
| DrakeH | lemme try | 00:06 |
| DrakeH | W4sp: aye I can | 00:07 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i use it for my netbook, so it makes my :(.. | 00:07 |
| zykotick9 | s/my/me/ | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: can you ping 8.8.8.8. ? | 00:07 |
| zykotick9 | the 2nd one, i don't know how to do that with regex ;) | 00:07 |
| Necrosporus | I'm trying to build a package with pbuilder. It runs dpkg which says there's unmet dependency and then entire pbuild ends and each time I run it it installs packages again. Can I make pbuild drop me into shell instead of quitting? | 00:07 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: I can | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: and can other systems ping the IP you are defining via IP? | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i'd assume so... | 00:08 |
| DrakeH | you mean if this machine can ping my server on the same network? | 00:09 |
| aLeSD__ | hi all | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: yes, i'm not really seeing an issue here.... | 00:09 |
| DrakeH | of coruse, I am SSHing my server right now | 00:09 |
| aLeSD__ | I have a problem with installer | 00:09 |
| DrakeH | I have a local network connection going | 00:09 |
| aLeSD__ | it don-t recongnize my sata disk\ | 00:09 |
| DrakeH | just cant access internet ... | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: the server doesn't have internet access (or a broadcast address, i think they connected) | 00:09 |
| W4sp | DrakeH: Sorry to ask this but did you ping from your server, which should have IPADDR 192.168.0.18? I also wonder why you configured a 192.168.(zero).18 instead of 192.168.(one).18? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aLeSD__: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the disk? | 00:10 |
| aLeSD__ | I can mount it | 00:10 |
| aLeSD__ | ActionParsnip: I can see it | 00:10 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: because my range is 0 | 00:10 |
| DrakeH | not 1 | 00:10 |
| aLeSD__ | but the installer want to format my usbstorage | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: ok if you ruun: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null | 00:10 |
| DrakeH | err sorry, W4sp | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: do you then get web access | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aLeSD__: have you got web access in the liveCD? | 00:11 |
| trism | Necrosporus: yes, copy /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/C10shell to some empty directory and run pbuilder with --hookdir /path/to/directory/ | 00:11 |
| aLeSD__ | ActionParsnip: what do you mean ? | 00:11 |
| aLeSD__ | I have internet in the livecd | 00:11 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: it doesnt run anything | 00:11 |
| DrakeH | it just opens up a next line to type stuff in | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: yes, this is linux | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: you don't get an 'ok' after each command | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: in linux, no news is good news | 00:12 |
| DrakeH | no, I mean | 00:12 |
| DrakeH | it doesnt finish the command | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: then you mistyped | 00:12 |
| DrakeH | aye, lol | 00:12 |
| DrakeH | mistype | 00:12 |
| jen_ | has anyone used the livestream encoder on wine? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: told ya | 00:13 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: yep, got internet | 00:13 |
| DrakeH | oO | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: yep, your DNS sucks | 00:13 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: nice! | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: now get full updates and see if a reboot helps | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: cowabunga | 00:13 |
| DrakeH | doing it | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: ip, subnet, route, dns is how I check em | 00:14 |
| J3f | cawabunga LOL | 00:14 |
| DrakeH | so basically you let me set the open dns on my machine? | 00:14 |
| W4sp | ActionParsnip: , DrakeH: Kudos, well done! | 00:15 |
| J3f | how to install driver VGA intel N10 ? | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: its google's public dns, easier IP to remember | 00:15 |
| zykotick9 | DrakeH: s/open/google's/ | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | J3f: its in a default install | 00:15 |
| aLeSD__ | ActionParsnip: no idea here _ | 00:15 |
| DrakeH | well yeah, I use it all the time | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | aLeSD__: in the liveCD desktop, can you access teh web? | 00:15 |
| DrakeH | but why go through the hassle of tee'ing it and such? | 00:15 |
| === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 | ||
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: because sudo doesn't traverse the redirection | 00:16 |
| aLeSD__ | yes | 00:16 |
| J3f | i cant acivate unity 3d | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: sudo echo "stuff" /path/to/file will fail with "access denied" as the only part of the command with sudo access is the echo command | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aLeSD__: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted ubiquity | 00:16 |
| DrakeH | I just meant ... why not edit resolv.conf directly :p | 00:17 |
| DrakeH | I could have done that haha | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | J3f: then you may need an xorg.conf file to define the display so the driver loads. I also suggest you try Ubuntu 12.10 as I've seen the newer drivers and kernel help with those chips | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | David_Miller: same difference, I just gave the command to do it ;) | 00:17 |
| aLeSD__ | ActionParsnip: I see the drive with the actual gparted | 00:18 |
| aLeSD__ | is there some bug fixed in the new version ? | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | aLeSD__: possibly, thats why upgrading those 2 packages before install can help | 00:18 |
| === user420 is now known as User420 | ||

| theadmin | I have a little but very annoying problem. In KDE, VLC completely ignores the volume set in KMix and plays at the player volume. Is this intended? | 00:24 |
| DrakeH | ActionParsnip: rebooted, but had to run the command you gave me again to get internet access | 00:24 |
| zykotick9 | theadmin: extremely will structured queston ;) oh, look who it's coming from. ;) best of luck - i have no idea. kde = sparkle vomit to me | 00:25 |
| theadmin | Messing with sound outputs doesn't give great results... Tons of devices on the ALSA output but all I tried result in complete mute. Pulseaudio = same behaviour as before. I think it's quite pointless to try OSS. | 00:26 |
| Chamunks | ActionParsnip, i was doing something and my girlfriend killed my attention span with DamnLoL links what were we talking about? | 00:27 |
| chen_ | hello | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DrakeH: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, you can leave the sudo bit out | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Chamunks: no idea, i've been fighting bacups this whole time, sorry | 00:33 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: rc.local is executed as root right? thus no sudo required? | 00:35 |
| DrakeH | I was thinking the same, has to be :p | 00:35 |
| DrakeH | otherwhise it makes no sense | 00:35 |
| DrakeH | so basically this will be executed on every boot? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: indeed :) | 00:36 |

| ActionParsnip | DFrostedWang: your current user has some settings, like for the launchers and various othe apps. | 01:01 |
| DFrostedWang | Yeah | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DFrostedWang: when you make a new user and log in the user will get default settings, | 01:01 |
| DFrostedWang | It has default now | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DFrostedWang: so if the issue is te same with default settings then we know its the applications teemselves, if it is ok then it is your user settings causing the issue. That is precisely how it can help. It isolates the issue | 01:02 |

| Prez00 | I am running Ubuntu 12.04, whenever I want to connect to my wireless networks using network manager it alwasy asks for wifi passphrase. The passphrase is already in there, but I always hacve to hit the ok, is there a way for it to connect to network if it has password? | 01:33 |
| Carlos_ | has anyone ever had an eror where the terminal wont let you type in your password? | 01:34 |
| Raptor | shouldnt have to keep entering the passphrase | 01:34 |
| tightwork | I have ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, installed laptop-mode-tools. I set suspend on lid close... System will spin down, maybe minute later spin backup with the lid still closed. What is going on? obviously this is unacceptable if I put the laptop in my bag it will cook itself. | 01:34 |
| Raptor | should automatically connect. check and edit your connection settings | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Jagst3r15: sounds good, or you can use apt-get , either is fine | 01:35 |
| Raptor | edit your connections | 01:36 |
| Jagst3r15 | ActionParsnip ty for the help | 01:37 |
| nikolas_ | hi to the room | 01:37 |
| jagginess | Carlos_, if the terminal won't let you type your password it's because your typing your username | 01:37 |
| nikolas_ | i have a problem | 01:37 |
| jagginess | nikolas_, so? | 01:38 |
| nikolas_ | in my system monitor swap is not available | 01:38 |
| Bam_Bam | Is it possible to go from 10.04 to 12.04 in one upgrade? | 01:39 |
| nikolas_ | i tried rebooting but still the same | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | nikolas_: try running: sudo swapon /dev/sda2 | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Bam_Bam: yes, LTS to LTS is supported | 01:39 |
| Carlos_ | jagginess: I opened up the terminal and typed the sudo apt-get upgrade command, but it asks for the password and wont let me type anything in that field. Its like it freezes at that point. | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Carlos_: sudo doesn't give feedback but is accepting the input | 01:40 |
| Bam_Bam | ActionParsnip: mind telling me what the command is? | 01:40 |
| jagginess | ActionParsnip, that doesnt make sense.. "lts to lts is supported" | 01:40 |

| ubottu | Bam_Bam: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jagginess: 10.04 (Lucid) is an LTS releae, 12.04 (Precise) is the next LTS, upgrading between LTS releases in one step is supported, | 01:41 |
| Ben64 | jagginess: every two years there is a LTS (long term support) release, upgrading directly to the next LTS is supported | 01:41 |
| nikolas_ | ActionParsnip: this is what i got: "swapon: /dev/sda2: read swap header failed: Invalid argument" | 01:41 |
| Ben64 | ActionParsnip: you beat me :( | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jagginess: if you are using one of the releases between you will need to upgrade to each successive release in turn, or clean install | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: yeah my beating stick is all outta shape | 01:42 |
| jagginess | that particular one apparently.. below 10 doesnt look like it can be done directly | 01:42 |
| Ben64 | 8.04 -> 10.04 -> 12.04 | 01:42 |

| Bam_Bam | ActionParsnip: have you ever had an upgrade go smoothly? because I haven't | 01:43 |
| Bam_Bam | I'm somewhat afraid to do it on my server lol | 01:43 |
| Ben64 | nikolas_: what does this output? "sudo fdisk -l | grep -i swap" | 01:43 |
| Ben64 | Bam_Bam: i've had it work | 01:43 |
| Ben64 | Bam_Bam: on this very computer I've done... Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy -> Lucid | 01:44 |
| nikolas_ | Ben64: "/dev/sda5 968667136 976771071 4051968 82 Linux swap / Solaris" | 01:44 |
| tightwork | is the backup utility dejadup suppose to do incremental backups? | 01:44 |
| danub | hey all | 01:44 |
| Bam_Bam | Ben64: I've unfortunately never had it work well on Desktop for me :/ | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | nikolas_: then sudo swapon /dev/sda5 | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | Bam_Bam: i've also done it on my servers with no problems | 01:45 |
| escott | tightwork, yes | 01:45 |
| danub | quick question. I have installed apps from source but they aren't in my app list. how can I get them to show up/put them in the list manually? | 01:45 |
| tightwork | escott: by default? | 01:45 |
| nikolas_ | Ben64: "swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument" | 01:45 |
| Bam_Bam | Ben64: I've just got it backed up well, I'll upgrade and see what happens | 01:45 |
| escott | tightwork, i believe so. i dont use it b/c i dont like the storage format, but it should be incremental | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | nikolas_: strange... | 01:46 |
| tightwork | escott: as expected its doing the unexpected and doing full backups every day | 01:46 |
| danub | how do i add manually installed applications to the "app drawer"? | 01:46 |
| nikolas_ | Ben64: i dont know if this helps but i see the swap as a external partition in nautilus but i cannot mount it | 01:47 |
| Alexi | swapfiles cannot be mounted. | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Bam_Bam: seen too many issues with it so I don't bother, my user data is on a file server so I don't actually care about the data on my end system | 01:48 |
| tightwork | ubuntu makes me depressed | 01:50 |
| megamanx1978 | Can someone help me install desura when I try to run desura.sh in the terminal it says sh: 0: Can't open desura.sh | 01:50 |

| Platypus-Man | I have set up samba to share my drives (using Ubuntu as a NAS) and see my /home/user/ folder is shared on the network (can only browse, not change files) - how do I make it so that this folder is not shared? when I go to /home/ and right-click /user/ and view Sharing Options, the "Share this folder" option is unticked | 02:17 |
| switchblade | guyz. please tell me there is a way to make my 32bit installation 64bit. i like LXF's remix, but it's not 64bit! | 02:17 |
| bazhang | switchblade, full reinstall | 02:17 |
| OerHeks | switchblade, re-install. there is no upgrade to 64 bit. | 02:17 |
| hwkiller-netbook | theoretically... you can swap all packages to be 64bit. practically, you're liable to screw everything up | 02:18 |
| hwkiller-netbook | It's been done on other distros, but it's always risky | 02:18 |

| switchblade | awwwwwww shewt. that's what i thought. | 02:19 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: How do you make it so that *what* folder is not shared? | 02:19 |
| Platypus-Man | usr13: well, not the drives directly... but the first folder in the drives are shared... but the problem is that /home/user/ is also shared, I don't want to share that | 02:20 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: What *do* you want to share? | 02:20 |
| nikolas_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2036790 | 02:21 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: What do you mean "the first folder in the drives"? | 02:21 |
| Platypus-Man | usr13: I do want to share my drives with media on, and have already done so, the problem is that my /home/ folder is also shared, and I don't want that | 02:22 |
| switchblade | hwkiller-netbook, i'm sure i would. guess i'll go reinstall | 02:22 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: Well, it appears that is exactly what you've shared. | 02:22 |
| Platypus-Man | by "first folder in the drives" I mean the root folder on each drive... ie "media/a,b,c,/ etc... /media/ is shared | 02:22 |

| usr13 | Platypus-Man: Ok then, just share what you want to and not what you don't want to. NO, you do NOT have to share your whole home directory. | 02:23 |
| Platypus-Man | usr13: again, I do _not_ want to share my home dir, but it is shared, and I am asking how to un-share it, since when I click on Sharing Options for the folder the sharing checkboxes are un-ticked | 02:24 |
| Platypus-Man | and other than looking there, I have no clue how to un-share it | 02:25 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: First, you have to figure out exactly what you've done. Well, back up and decide exactly what you *want* to do. Make a directory that you want to share and then just share only that. | 02:25 |
| usr13 | Platypus-Man: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:27 |

| DJRWolf | I'm about to upgrade my desktop from dual boot ubuntu 10.10/win7 to ubuntu 12.04/win7, when I did the 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade my MBR was messed up and selecting win7 would loop back to grub and had to restore from backup MBR, is there anything I should do to make sure I can recover before I upgrade my ubuntu like make sure the MBR is backed up? | 03:22 |
| schultza | how do i configure ubuntu to be a server rather than a desktop? | 03:22 |
| cfhowlett | schultza: delete your DM? | 03:23 |
| jrib | schultza: server of what... | 03:23 |
| schultza | basic server install | 03:23 |
| DJRWolf | schultza download ubuntu server iso I would think | 03:23 |
| trakinas | schultza: this is rather a broad question. like jrib said, server of what? | 03:23 |
| schultza | id rather not download the other iso | 03:23 |
| usr13 | DJRWolf: Prolly won't happen again so.... | 03:23 |
| cfhowlett | schultza: that's just lazy | 03:23 |
| trakinas | schultza: what do you want to serve? | 03:23 |
| schultza | nevermind.. ill look online ... | 03:24 |
| jrib | schultza: if you want to serve web pages, then you install a web server (like apache or lightppd). If you want to serve something else, etc. | 03:25 |
| jrib | lighttpd -- oops | 03:25 |
| trakinas | schultza: dude, you want a file server? an web server? a network server? a proxy server? a local file server? | 03:25 |
| AndChat39444 | Try ehcp | 03:26 |
| schultza | is there a default install from the ubuntu server iso (if yes, that is the setup i want to turn this into without having to download another iso ) | 03:26 |
| trakinas | schultza: "I want to make my desktop a server" is really too broad. | 03:26 |
| usr13 | DJRWolf: Wait.... You say you are going to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04? What about 11.04 & 11.10? | 03:26 |
| schultza | in fact, i want to uninstall the gui.. it's not needed for a server | 03:26 |
| jrib | schultza: desktop and server are the same except they have different packages installed by default | 03:26 |
| schultza | yes... | 03:27 |
| DJRWolf | after the MBR annyance from 10.04 to 10.10 I decided to just wait for the next LTS before upgrading | 03:27 |

| L3top | DJRWolf: you could go from LTS to LTS. You cannot go from 1004 to 1010 to 1204. See OerHeks explanation. You have a much longer road to go because you went to 1010 | 03:29 |
| trakinas | schultza: I really think is a better a idea to make a fresh install, if you really want to build a server. | 03:29 |
| usr13 | DJRWolf: But you left LTS when you went from 10.04 to 10.10. | 03:29 |
| schultza | fine... this project will have to wait until next weekend... it'll take me forever to download another iso | 03:29 |

| DJRWolf | so format the partition and then install 12.04 is ideal? no problems with grub? | 03:37 |
| n0sq | what media player set top boxes are available? | 03:37 |
| trakinas | n0sq: what do you mean? | 03:37 |
| L3top | DJRWolf: the installer on the iso will do the formatting for you. You might want to backup your /home dir first and move it back when done. | 03:38 |
| n0sq | i want to stream video to my tv | 03:38 |
| KAPITALISMUSS | L3top: why do you start your sentences with ! ? | 03:38 |
| KAPITALISMUSS | the ! should come last | 03:38 |
| usr13 | L3top: How do we know he doen't have a separate partition for /home/ ? | 03:38 |
| L3top | n0sq: there are any number of ways to do that. If you just want a media player I believe xbmc is in the repo now. | 03:38 |
| trakinas | KAPITALISMUSS: if you are not being sarcastic, ! indicates a bot command. | 03:39 |

| caixa | is it possible to get the chrome aura de on ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| trakinas | the4tress: I believe blind9 uses the same kind of records / rules as other DNS servers. so, if you used this kind of record on win2008 to forward thngs, I believe it will work. | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | caixa: possible, yes | 03:43 |
| L3top | usr13: he is wanting to do a fresh install of 1204 rather than upgrade through 3 versions... I do not believe that there can be an after the fact if it has not already been done for this purpose. Perhaps I misunderstand. | 03:43 |
| the4tress | trakinas, yeah, i'm using bind9 but it isnt working | 03:43 |
| the4tress | holy crap | 03:43 |
| usr13 | L3top: Never mind... | 03:43 |
| the4tress | i dont think my dns server is working at all | 03:43 |
| the4tress | it is just forwarding | 03:44 |
| trakinas | bind9 is kinda hard to get it to work, but it is a bliss when it is done. | 03:44 |
| usr13 | the4tress: You have a nameserver? | 03:44 |
| the4tress | usr13, i have a bind9 dns server, is that what you mean? | 03:44 |
| usr13 | the4tress: You have a caching name server running? Why isn't it on your router? | 03:45 |

| DJRWolf | ok, I started to go though the install menu's and one of the options is to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04, I'm still thinking format and clean install is better option less likly to cause a problem, right? | 03:50 |
| cfhowlett | DJRWolf: clean install is the way to go | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | DJRWolf: you will need to clean install to go fro Maverick to Precise in one move | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | DJRWolf: assuming you have dedicated /home partition do NOT format it... | 03:51 |
| DJRWolf | ActionParsnip the GUI installer is giving me an option to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04 | 03:53 |
| DJRWolf | but will go with clean anyway | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | DJRWolf: it will but it will cause issues | 03:53 |
| L3top | DJRWolf: again... if you have a lot of data on your current install... you would be wise to copy off your /home partition someplace. This will preserve the most important things. | 03:55 |

| DJRWolf | ActionParsnip but there is a difference between "need to go" and "would want to go", saying need to is implying 10.10 to 12.04 is totally impossible, sorry about being picky but my parents have drilled grammer like that into me | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | DJRWolf: its possible, just not supported | 03:57 |
| L3top | dikim33: I am unfamiliar with that service... put typically you start a service with sudo service <name> start... however I am unaware of a service with a space. | 03:58 |
| dikim33 | L3top: yes, but I need its specific parameter value (e.g., the value of WAITER) | 03:59 |
| L3top | DJRWolf: it is a particularly error prone process, and anything you run into we will be unable to help you with. | 03:59 |
| L3top | dikim33: is this some sort of POS software? | 03:59 |
| logost | Could someone advise me how to install mplayer 32bit on my 64bit install? Perhaps a link to a guide. My google fu comes up short. | 04:00 |

| L3top | drape: container/ assumes that you are in the directory where the container/cpu.shares file exists | 04:33 |
| drape | L3top: yep. i've setup cgroups on a lot of 11.04 systems w/o issues. something weird is going on w/12.04 | 04:35 |
| bz | guys, guys | 04:36 |
| bz | there's a null pointer on my window | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | drape: you'll need: echo "256" | sudo tee container/cpu.shares | 04:36 |
| bz | i'm so scared, whatshould i do? | 04:36 |
| L3top | darnit drape... ActionParsnip is correct again. I keep forgetting that. | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | L3top: yeah the whole redirect not liking sudo is annoying | 04:37 |
| drape | whoa | 04:38 |
| drape | ActionParsnip: that worked... ugh, why? | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | drape: permissions | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | drape: sudo doesn't traverse the redirection | 04:39 |
| L3top | echo does not traverse the sudo command over redirect. It is a security thing. | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | drape: so you have to echo and pipe to sudo tee to overcome | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | drape: you can run: sudo -i first, then the command as you expect and it will work as both halves run as root | 04:40 |

| drape | thx for the help ActionParsnip, L3top. | 04:46 |

| DJRWolf | no, Ubuntu's native installer from live USB stick | 04:47 |
| MaskedStan | anonymous and all that | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DJRWolf: then the fact you dual boot is irrelevant, just mount your system partition and use the commands to chroot to it | 04:47 |

| DJRWolf | ok, so to confirm, mount the linux partition on my 320gb drive and follow the commands on the video, do I need to do anything with the 500gb drive that I had selected to put grub durring install? (did not notice that until after I clicked "next" but before screen cleared) | 04:50 |

| gry | kyle__: I don't see it, are you using a ppa? | 05:14 |
| L3top | kyle__: there is no such thing in 1204. apt-cache search shogun | 05:14 |
| NullCity | Should I check if sudo dpkg -r jre-1.7.0._05.deb <<< | 05:14 |
| NullCity | If ti works? | 05:15 |
| NullCity | it** | 05:15 |
| kyle__ | Sinusoidal: Find the docs directory, read all of them. See how to control linux using echo instead of the little helper functions. | 05:15 |
| serdotlin | NullCity: lubuntu with openbox, it's working but didn't work with compiz or emerald | 05:15 |
| kyle__ | L3top: Weird. I see several shogun packages, but not that one. | 05:15 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: sure | 05:15 |
| gry | howdy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 05:15 |
| L3top | Sinusoidal: read. That is all. | 05:15 |
| L3top | kyle__: that was why I suggested the search. There is no such animal. | 05:15 |
| kyle__ | gry: Not using a ppa, the launchpad page claims it's in the repos (unless I'm reading it way wrong) | 05:15 |
| gry | !info shogun-octave-modular | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Package shogun-octave-modular does not exist in precise | 05:16 |
| gry | nope | 05:16 |
| NullCity | Ben64: I got this now http://pastie.org/4382087 | 05:16 |
| NullCity | It says that I need to reinstall it, but when I try to, it says it cant find the package then aborts. | 05:16 |
| Sinusoidal | Im trying to read but I would like to start finding out about how those directories work, like /lib/, /usr/ /local/ etc | 05:16 |
| Sinusoidal | is there any way to get a broad overview of this? | 05:16 |
| kyle__ | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/shogun-octave-modular | 05:16 |
| bz | .lastlog hacker | 05:16 |
| kyle__ | L3top: Doesn't that page say it should be in the repos? | 05:17 |
| NullCity | Should I reinstall ubuntu completely? I think I started an error loop | 05:17 |
| L3top | Sinusoidal: this is not the channel to "teach you to hack" or understand the linux subsystem. This is an Ubuntu support channel, for those having issues with ubuntu specific problems | 05:17 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: sudo dpkg --force -P jre-1.7.0._05.deb | 05:17 |
| L3top | kyle__: that is a PPA... has nothing to do with canonical | 05:17 |
| howdy | thanks gry. but im not wanting to dual boot with windows. i want to dualboot 2 ubuntu versions. i just get confused when it comes to mounting. root and folder names for each install. | 05:17 |
| * kyle__ looks again | 05:17 | |
| L3top | !ppa | kyle__ | 05:17 |
| ubottu | kyle__: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 05:17 |
| Sinusoidal | L3top: oh ok. What channel should I go to? | 05:18 |
| bz | i'm detecting a sudden spike in hacketry | 05:18 |
| kyle__ | L3top: Didn't realize the + was for ppas. | 05:18 |
| gry | kyle__: the way I see it it was in a previous release but isn't in 12.04 anymore (although I haven't found why it was removed yet) | 05:18 |
| sergiu-dev | Is the needed to install propreetary drivers for videocard to play video games?:) | 05:18 |
| L3top | Sinusoidal: chances are your notion of hacking is very different than mine. I am not here to serve what I expect yours is. | 05:19 |
| Ben64 | sergiu-dev: almost always, yes | 05:19 |
| NullCity | Ben64: It says unknown operation force operation -P | 05:19 |
| NullCity | But when I do dpkg --help | 05:19 |
| kyle__ | gry: Sucks, because the matlab code that comes with most books on classifiers runs horribly in octave, and shogun is supposed to be pretty sweet. | 05:19 |
| NullCity | It shows -P (--purge) in the list | 05:19 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: try without the force then | 05:19 |
| === sergiu-dev is now known as sergiu64 | ||
| kyle__ | L3top: I was willfully interpeting hacking as clever coding/ knowing the system at a very deep level/knowing how to fix a busted system with nothing more than echo and grep. | 05:20 |
| sergiu64 | sd | 05:20 |
| L3top | kyle__: read. This is not the channel for that. | 05:20 |
| NullCity | Ben64: It says Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 05:20 |
| NullCity | it says I should reinstall it before removal | 05:20 |
| L3top | kyle__: try #linux | 05:20 |
| gry | kyle__: You might want to poke #octave / #shogun / ##matlab then? | 05:20 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: sudo dpkg --force-all -P jre-1.7.0._05.deb | 05:21 |
| L3top | Sorry kyle__ got you confused with Sinusoidal | 05:21 |
| kyle__ | gry: Eh, I'll just compile. | 05:21 |
| NullCity | Ben64: its now purging by force | 05:21 |
| kyle__ | L3top: NP, I figured it was either that, or you were way to grumpy. | 05:21 |
| NullCity | Let me check if it works again | 05:22 |
| gry | kyle__: probably a good plan, there's also a https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/shogun-octave-modular but I imagine it would be ancient | 05:22 |
| kyle__ | gry: I just need something that will do svms with a kernel method so I can get the shape of my final down. | 05:23 |
| NullCity | Ben64: Okay it works again thanks! :) | 05:23 |
| L3top | kyle__: I am grumpy... but your answer sounded like what I wanted to hear, after asking me how to hack... only... more clever than the conversation began... so I was a bit confused... lol. Simply using linux is hacking. Forcing hardware to do something other than it was intended (run a specific OS). Sorry for the confusion. | 05:24 |
| kyle__ | L3top: Np. Actually sometmies the lack of friction using modern ubuntu makes me miss the old days when you sometimes had to hack to get your ethernet card to work how you wanted. | 05:25 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: cool. now if you want jre, do it a nicer way :) | 05:25 |
| L3top | It is a delicate balance kyle__. I believe we are on the same page. | 05:26 |
| * kyle__ nods | 05:26 | |
| kyle__ | I think so L3top | 05:26 |
| NullCity | Ben64: I think Im not downloading jre 1.7 (java 7) from java.com anymore, because of what just happened recently. | 05:29 |
| Ben64 | NullCity: just get the tgz and install locally | 05:29 |
| NullCity | Ben64: Yea, I'm not gonna use .rpm packages of java because they dont currently offer .deb packages | 05:31 |
| Ben64 | yeah, rpm isn't usually a good idea on ubuntu | 05:31 |
| NullCity | Thats I was glad that rpm actually detects if your on a debian system (like Ubuntu) before installing. | 05:32 |
| NullCity | Because if it didn't, imagine what would've happen when I did "sudo rpm -i jre-7u5-linux.rpm" | 05:32 |
| NullCity | And sometimes alien fails on making some rpm packages into debian packages. | 05:33 |
| tfhlap | hi, my sound was working perfectly, and then I was trying to raise the volume, and it went off, I can't hear anything except mpg321, any ideas? | 05:33 |
| NullCity | tfhlap: What sound server are you using? | 05:34 |
| tfhlap | NullCity how can I tell? | 05:34 |
| tfhlap | NullCity I think alsa | 05:34 |
| NullCity | tfhlap: Try doing running "cd /usr/bin" then "find pulseaudio" | 05:35 |
| L3top | tfhlap: in terminal type alsamixer. You will have a master volume, and a control for your analog speakers... | 05:36 |
| NullCity | L3top: but dont you have to select your sound card before running that? | 05:36 |
| L3top | NullCity: if he had audio prior to hitting the vol ctrl... it IS selected | 05:37 |
| kyle__ | Ahh, ./configure && make -j4. When you work, everything JUST WORKS. | 05:37 |
| kyle__ | gnight all, back to coding | 05:37 |
| tfhlap | L3top, ok i'm inside alsamixer (I think that is where I messed it up - I tried to increase the volume, and lost the sound) | 05:38 |
| tfhlap | L3top now inside alsa mixer, what should I do? | 05:38 |
| tfhlap | L3top master is on max | 05:38 |
| NullCity | tfhlap: Use the arrow keys to set the volume | 05:38 |
| NullCity | tfhlap: up arrow is to raise the volume, down arrow key is to lower it | 05:38 |
| L3top | tfhlap: you will have a master control... and then one of the others will adjust the output control for your device | 05:39 |
| tfhlap | L3top, NullCity, ok I got that, I have Master, Headphone, Speaker, PCM all on max | 05:39 |
| L3top | tfhlap: if MM is at the bottom of one of those mixers, that means it is muted. You highlight it with left right keys and press the letter m to unmut | 05:39 |
| tMH | hello *. what editor can perform numeric sort _except_ vim?;) | 05:39 |
| tMH | thanks in advance | 05:40 |
| tMH | text editor | 05:40 |
| tMH | under unix. | 05:40 |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| L3top | tMH: Your question does not exactly make sense. Please give details. | 05:40 |
| tMH | other words, what unix text editor except vim can do numeric soft ? | 05:40 |
| tMH | L3top - it's ok now?:) | 05:40 |
| NullCity | tMH: Try nano | 05:40 |
| tMH | NullCity - will do, thanks! | 05:41 |
| NullCity | tMH: Your welcome. | 05:41 |
| NullCity | This feels like customer support chat for me somehow. | 05:41 |
| tfhlap | L3top I don't have anything wit MM in alsamixer, as master, headphone, speaker, pcm are on maximum, still can't hear anything apart from mpg321 | 05:42 |
| L3top | tfhlap: please tell me the output device, and explain how it is connected, ie cable type or internal speaker... etc | 05:42 |
| tfhlap | L3top it's a laptop - built in | 05:43 |
| tMH | NullCity - ghm. cannot find 'sort' keyword in help in nano.. | 05:43 |
| L3top | tfhlap: so it is a laptop, with internal speakers? | 05:43 |
| zwirc | Hi | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | zwirc: greetings. | 05:44 |
| zwirc | Aint tightvnc aviable anymore for ubuntu? | 05:44 |
| cc11rocks | Anyone have any downsides to tell me before I make my final decision to buy the System76 Lemur Ultra? | 05:44 |
| tfhlap | L3top yes exactly - and as mpg321 works, I don't think it's any physical problem | 05:44 |
| cc11rocks | I know that battery life may not be so great (3.5-4 hrs is what I've been) | 05:44 |
| cc11rocks | Anything else? | 05:44 |
| L3top | tfhlap: what doesn't work, via what application | 05:44 |
| NullCity | tMH: Wait did you check nano --help to find a sort keyword or did you run the program then checked on the bottom? | 05:44 |
| zwirc | or is it any other VNC i sould use? | 05:44 |
| cc11rocks | And what is the name of the channel where I can ask dev questions? | 05:45 |
| tfhlap | L3top say webbrowser (youtube etc), even the sound control of the laptop - which makes a sound when I raise the volume, I can't hear it | 05:45 |
| cfhowlett | cc11rocks: #ubuntu-devel | 05:45 |
| NullCity | ^ | 05:45 |
| L3top | tfhlap: flash is special. Anything else? | 05:45 |
| cc11rocks | Thanks cfhowlett | 05:45 |
| zwirc | :) | 05:46 |
| tfhlap | L3top the sound control of the laptop - which makes a sound when I raise the volume, I can't hear it | 05:46 |
| L3top | tfhlap: please give me a pastebin of sudo aplay -l | 05:46 |
| zwirc | Anyone up for helping me with that one? | 05:46 |
| cfhowlett | zwirc: lemur 76, right? | 05:47 |
| zwirc | hum? | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | zwirc: nev mind. | 05:47 |
| willyg_cos_ | zwirc: How about nxmachine ?? | 05:47 |
| zwirc | ok :P Im trying to install vnc, but first i sould have a GUI, right? So i do a install of gnome-core i guess? | 05:47 |
| tMH | NullCity - did read help inside nano, of course;) wait, I'll run nano --help now ;P) | 05:48 |
| L3top | zwirc: you have not expressed an actual question... and you have not done so in like 5 posts. It is beyond my willingness to decipher. | 05:48 |
| tfhlap | L3top http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126520/ | 05:48 |
| zwirc | Hehe, sorry my lack of english | 05:48 |
| tMH | NullCity - no use, tho: [03-Aug-12][9:48][280] ~/comp$nano --help | grep -i sort ; [03-Aug-12][9:48][281] ~/comp$ | 05:48 |
| tMH | nano 2.3.1 what I use. | 05:48 |
| tMH | will try to update if the any of updates. | 05:49 |
| zwirc | I am trying to install TightVNC; but get a error "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libpkcs11-helper1 liblzo2-2 " , so I guess i sould install gnome-core and try again? | 05:49 |
| NullCity | tMH left me check if there are other text ediots that have what you want | 05:49 |
| L3top | tfhlap: sudo speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,0 | 05:49 |
| tMH | ah, it's the latest. no sort in help, nullcity:) | 05:49 |
| zwirc | Or do anyone else know how to? | 05:49 |
| L3top | tfhlap: does that make noise | 05:49 |
| tMH | NullCity - will wait, thanks! | 05:49 |
| L3top | zwirc: those packages have nothing to do with what you installed. | 05:50 |
| tfhlap | L3top ywa | 05:50 |
| === k is now known as log | ||
| tfhlap | L3top yes it makes a sound | 05:50 |
| NullCity | tMH turns out nano doesnt have it latest nor any version, so I think other ones should | 05:50 |
| zwirc | l3top: do you know a guide? | 05:51 |
| L3top | zwirc: they are simply unnecessary leftovers the system reminds you exist and do not need to. Follow its advice. sudo apt-get clean or autoclean. | 05:51 |
| NullCity | tMH: try the emacs editor >>> http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ | 05:51 |
| L3top | tfhlap: what application are you trying to open these in that are not playing | 05:52 |
| NullCity | tMH: Well emacs is GUI-based so I think it might not fit your needs. might not. | 05:53 |
| NullCity | tMH: emacs can be installed within Ubuntu Software Centre as emacs23, well thats the console one pretty sure, the GUI version is emacs22-gtk | 05:54 |
| tfhlap | L3top vlc, movie player to give some examples | 05:55 |
| tfhlap | L3top as I said I can't even hear the sound the computer makes to indicate increase of volume | 05:55 |
| ghostchick | tfhlap: tried in alsamixer and pavucontrol ? | 05:55 |
| tfhlap | L3top ghostchick i got pavucontrol running, I can see the visual effect of sounds, but I can't hear the sound | 05:56 |
| tMH | NullCity - emacs, heck... ok, thanks anyway! | 05:56 |
| tMH | good luck:) | 05:56 |
| NullCity | tMH did it fit your needs? | 05:56 |

| Guest1735 | hi guys, I have a major problem with ubuntu 12.04 x64. On my sandy bridge laptop, the CPU freq stays at 800MHz permanently, but it can go up to 2.5 GHz ! I've fixed the problem by completly disabling all CPU freq management features in the BIOS, but I'll have battery life problems. Do you know how I can fix this? | 05:59 |
| DJRWolf | I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager | 06:00 |
| hwkiller-netbook | Guest1735: what is the cpufreq governor in use when cpufreq management is enabled? | 06:00 |
| philippe_ | cpufreqd is not installed, is this normal ? | 06:04 |
| === Kitarst_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| hwkiller-netbook | Hm, I assume the only reason that even exists is to set the /sys stuff | 06:05 |
| hwkiller-netbook | if you have no cpufreq* commands, then install cpufreqd. | 06:06 |
| millun | hi | 06:06 |
| millun | after dist upg to 12.04 my unity launcher icons are gone | 06:06 |
| philippe_ | i keep etting software crashes lol | 06:06 |
| millun | tried deleting .compiz-1 folders | 06:06 |
| millun | no go | 06:06 |
| hwkiller-netbook | compiz doesn't have anything to do w/ icons | 06:07 |
| hwkiller-netbook | that comes from your settings in gconf and/or dconf | 06:07 |
| hwkiller-netbook | ~/.gconf/* and ~/.config/dconf | 06:07 |
| millun | ah | 06:07 |
| SnapALoop | Never Drop your phone again. Watch the video its cool. https://snapaloop.com/?&AdGUID=D5289D47-0265-4D3F-8918-C885E047D662&UserGUID=1234DD3D-58E8-4DE6-9DEA-C4942A5AF904 | 06:07 |
| millun | so i should delete those | 06:07 |
| millun | btw do you know how to enable menu icons? for context stuff? | 06:08 |
| philippe_ | why are all my opengl renderings limited to 60 fps | 06:09 |
| hwkiller-netbook | well, deleting isn't recommended. Ideally, you'd want to just reset icon settings to default using gsettings, but I'm not on a machine that has it, so I can't find out the proper key | 06:10 |
| hwkiller-netbook | vsync, philippe_ | 06:10 |
| philippe_ | i know it is vsync, but where is it enabled | 06:10 |

| philippe_ | i don,t even know why thoses arent automatically installed | 06:13 |
| hwkiller-netbook | cpufreqd is just for setting the governor at boot time I think. | 06:14 |
| hwkiller-netbook | I recommend using laptop-mode-tools | 06:14 |
| hwkiller-netbook | much better powersaving with that + cpufreq + powertop | 06:14 |

| hwkiller-netbook | If you want a source distro, use a source distro. | 06:19 |
| monktoo | why | 06:19 |
| hwkiller-netbook | Because ubuntu isn't structured at all like a source-based distro | 06:19 |

| zwirc | Hi. I just installed gnome-core on my server, then tightvnc. But when i start and connect to the server with tightvnc client i just get a white desktop and a message "unable to load "Ubuntu" | 06:39 |
| KatsumeBlisk | thaicares, I think it also depends. Gwibber might effect it. I'm not sure since I'm not on Ubuntu atm. | 06:39 |

| hellhammer | I need a way for a remote non-LAN windows machine to access a folder on my ubuntu machine what can help me do this? | 06:40 |
| hwkiller-netbook | It's an indicator. It gets information from various dbus interfaces, so it's not like a program "runs" it | 06:40 |
| hellhammer | I need a way for a remote non-LAN windows machine to access a folder on my ubuntu machine what can help me do this? | 06:40 |
| hwkiller-netbook | It grabs info from gwibber, evolution, empathy, etc | 06:40 |
| thaicares | KatsumeBlisk that is what I was talking about there has to be a central program that allows you to access both thunderbird and gwibber's tools | 06:40 |

| DJRWolf | I used StartUp-Manger to tweek my grub back in the days of 10.04 and 10.10, but it looks like the guy who was keeping it up to date quit and no one has picked up the torch, any suggestions on a replacement???? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StartUp-Manager | 06:41 |
| hwkiller-netbook | No, thaicares, it's not a system tray program. It's just an indicator, which is a dbus service I think. | 06:41 |

| z3rongod | What tool can i use to repair MBR on a hdd? | 06:42 |
| thaicares | hwkiller-netbook thanks I just wasn't sure how it operated when I first saw it I thought it was brilliant I want to look at using it on a system running trisquel or maybe another distro | 06:42 |
| hwkiller-netbook | Yeah, it's hard to use indicators in other distros because not many panels have implemented them. | 06:43 |
| hwkiller-netbook | unity is rather unique in its integration and heavy use of indicators and dbus | 06:44 |

| z3rongod | And i'm using ubuntu live on flash drive with 2 GB of ram on the machine... | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | z3rongod, might be time to clean house a bit. try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:50 |
| z3rongod | cfhowlett: reading package lists error | 06:51 |

| cfhowlett | z3rongod, no saved documents or files on this flash drive? | 06:51 |
| z3rongod | formatted and used the utility to make a bootable flash ubuntu drive, from the 12.04 iso | 06:52 |
| cfhowlett | z3rongod, recently? | 06:52 |
| z3rongod | yes | 06:52 |

| z3rongod | so pressed ESC instinctively | 06:53 |
| z3rongod | i then saw the console with racing messages, something about and error and much junk for my eyes | 06:53 |
| cfhowlett | z3rongod, urrrgh! might have scrambled if you killed it while loading up .... | 06:53 |
| z3rongod | Is it normal to take ages to boot then? | 06:53 |
| cfhowlett | z3rongod, my suggestion: make a new drive, use ALL 2 gigs | 06:53 |
| z3rongod | Use all 2 gigs? | 06:54 |
| cfhowlett | z3rongod, well, usb is slower than native boot ... | 06:54 |

| sgo11 | chuck, maybe I don't need to replace it with the one for gnome. because gnome one is running by default. as what i said, to use gnome one, simply kill that unity one.

| trijntje | Hi all, a large copy operation (>200G) with nautilus got interrupted near the end. What is the best way to resume the copy without re-copying everything? | 10:22 |
| alankila | trijntje: shell, rsync | 10:23 |
| alankila | (if nautilus had any sense it would use rsync itself) | 10:23 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje what alankila says, rsync is better for copying large files | 10:24 |
| trijntje | alankila: thanks, should I just use rscync -P or should I use some other flags? | 10:24 |
| vmachine | anyone | 10:24 |
| alankila | I always use rsync -avx myself but it is out of habit more than anything | 10:24 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje rsync has the feature --progress to see it, well, progress | 10:24 |
| trijntje | but I dont think nautilus has an archive option right? So to resume the normal copy I can just use -P? | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Wow - a quiet morning. | 10:41 |
| Fudge | indeed Dr_Willis | 10:42 |
| trijntje | but I dont think nautilus has an archive option right? So to resume a normal copy I can just use -rP? | 10:42 |
| AdvoWork | i tried to mount a folder, which failed as it said I need to specify the filesystem type, so i tried -t ext3 and get: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, any suggestions please? | 10:42 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje sometimes it's more efficient and faster to start over, instead of repairing or resuming things | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: whats the exact commandline you are using | 10:43 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, mount -o loop /dev/VG_01/test /mnt/loop or mount /dev/VG_01/test /mnt/loop | 10:43 |
| geirha | trijntje: rsync -a should be sufficient. It'll compare filesize and timestamps of each file, and avoid copying the files that are already up-to-date | 10:44 |
| trijntje | MonkeyDust: I already have 220 of 250 G copied over, and my pc keeps freezing on big copies for some reason | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: that /dev/VG_01/test looks totally wrong. What is is tupposed to be? | 10:44 |
| trijntje | geirha: wont that use compression? | 10:44 |
| geirha | trijntje: No. There are options for that though | 10:45 |
| MonkeyDust | trijntje freezing may mean 'taing its time to copy' | 10:45 |
| MonkeyDust | taking* | 10:45 |
| trijntje | MonkeyDust: no, even mouse freezes and doesnt unfreeze, even after waiting half an hour | 10:46 |

| jrib | fep: what version of ubuntu? | 11:49 |
| Ileden | auronandace: Synaptic says I've got 2.6.38-11, 3.0.0-12, 3.0.0-13, 3.0.0-14, 3.0.0-15, 3.0.0-16, 3.0.0-19 | 11:49 |
| fep | 12.04 | 11:49 |
| auronandace | Ileden: you're on 11.10 then? | 11:49 |
| Ileden | auronandace: I was... tried to upgrade to 12.04, but I ran out of disk space... | 11:50 |
| jrib | fep: file a bug against the package. As you can see, the script calls python2.5 explicitly but 2.5 is not available in 12.04. I am not familiar with the software, but 2.6 and 2.7 /should/ work. Ideally, you would file a bug, contact the author to discuss the feasibility of using later python versions. But, if you want to try in the meantime, just delete the ".5" in /usr/bin/w3af_console | 11:50 |
| auronandace | Ileden: i'd get rid of all the 3.x's except for the 2 recent ones | 11:50 |
| Ileden | auronandace: lsb_release -a says 12.04 | 11:51 |
| auronandace | Ileden: hmm, i'd say your upgrade didn't complete then | 11:51 |
| auronandace | Ileden: 12.04 uses 3.2 | 11:51 |
| Ileden | auronandace: Yeah, that's kind what I'm guessing, since I don't see how it'd complete with 0 space available. | 11:51 |
| Ileden | However, I don't know how to resume. | 11:51 |
| jrib | fep: that script actually seems to be a debianism... so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just an oversight on the packager's part | 11:52 |
| fep | jrib: og thanks, it worked fine when i removed 2.5 | 11:52 |
| fep | jrib, hehe ok | 11:52 |
| jrib | fep: ok, you should file a bug so it can be fixed | 11:52 |

| MonkeyDust | Ileden do you have backups? if yes, try and delete the old kernels, then type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:53 |
| fep | never done it before | 11:53 |
| auronandace | Ileden: i'm not the best to offer advise on that, i tend to fresh install a new release (less can go wrong) | 11:53 |
| Ileden | MonkeyDust: I have backups of my data, not of the system itself. | 11:53 |
| cypher-neo | zetheroo: Do you mean the KDE Plasma Desktop? | 11:54 |
| auronandace | Ileden: your data is the important stuff | 11:54 |
| zetheroo | cypher-neo: yes, I guess so | 11:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Ileden all right, then try what i adviced | 11:54 |
| Ileden | auronandace: Ok, understandable. :) Though don't you have to do all the configuration again on fresh install? | 11:54 |
| auronandace | Ileden: there really isn't much to configure for me | 11:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Ileden most settings are stored in hidden files and folders in /home | 11:55 |
| auronandace | Ileden: once every 6 months isn't a burden for me either | 11:55 |

| Dr_Willis | Evvyddre: I do recall some versions of the Server edition not working properly from USB. but i think 12.04 fixed that. | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Evvyddre: or you can image the straight to the usb via some windows-disk imageing tools. (i forget the name of one i used int he past) But the Pendrivelinux tools should work also. | 12:00 |

| stevecam | MonkeyDust, Abhijit, am I missing something, I can't see much there except for official statements made by Ubuntu regarding android | 12:11 |
| Pici | stevecam: there are no packages yet. | 12:11 |
| compdoc | Evvyddre, Hirens has a lot of junk on it, but it does hav clonezilla on it, which is great | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | stevecam: im not sure there is much official stuff out on Ubuntu-android yet. Other then some videos :) | 12:11 |
| Evvyddre | i can download it | 12:11 |
| stevecam | so why is Ubuntu bragging so much about android? I'm confused, what has been done? | 12:12 |
| MonkeyDust | stevecam yes, that's why should *start* there | 12:12 |
| MonkeyDust | you* | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | stevecam: omgubuntu has an artical on it i saw today | 12:12 |
| Evvyddre | it has been done for any android with dual core cpu | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ones ive seen in the markets are running in a VM. theirs is on the native hardware not emulated/vm'd. | 12:13 |

| Evvyddre | how can i setup a desktop on my server when i login via vnc? | 12:14 |
| MonkeyDust | stevecam that's not bragging, that's promoting | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Evvyddre: install the vncserver and whatever window maanger you want to use. | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | theres several vnc servers in the repos. I tend to use tightvnc (i think thats the name) | 12:15 |
| Evvyddre | what is the best window manager? | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Evvyddre: totally depends on your needs. For VNC. i got as LIGHT as i can. | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | such as jwm, or somthing very very small and simple. | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | lightest 'desktop' is Lubuntu | 12:16 |
| Evvyddre | the server is going to be used as a game server + owncloud | 12:16 |

| stevecam | why is this off topic? this is ubuntu i am talking about isn't it? | 12:18 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, ideally(theres 20 vids) i want to be able to list them as videos in my home tv/dvd player thing, so im able to actually select each video if that makes sense | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | its not really 'support' related. | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: if you want videos converted to play in any DVD player with a DVD menu. you can use DeVeDE for that.. Its a little weird in ways. but does an ok job. | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: devede will make a dvd.iso that you can burn to dvd and play in any dvd player with menus. (or it can auto play) | 12:20 |
| stevecam | well, all i want to know really is ubuntu for android going to be an open project or a private project? | 12:20 |
| Pici | stevecam: #ubuntu-phone would probably be the best place to ask about it. As far as I know, there are no public packages for it available, all the work is internal to canonical at this point. | 12:20 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, ahh cool, i have devede anyway, but have to select each file individually, but i suppose thats not the end of the world | 12:21 |
| mobile | ebrahim | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: thats how you would make a menu item for each video. Or you could just merge all the videos together and add one big video to the dvd i guess.. but thats not what you asked for, :) | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Havent heard much about the Ubuntu-TV project lately either. ;) | 12:22 |

| auronandace | angela23432: perhaps you could explain your issue | 12:44 |
| Ileden | angela23432: it depends. Sometimes for good results you need to install "external" (non-libre) drivers. Often not. | 12:47 |
| Ileden | angela23432: in any case, they can be downloaded and activated from within ubuntu. | 12:49 |
| Ileden | angela23432: No need to download any files from any website or somesuch (as you'd have to do when installing graphics drivers for windows). | 12:50 |

| matthewvz | Dr_Willis: Thinking about that, or I just might buy a USB cd drive and install ubuntu that way | 12:52 |
| Ileden | angela23432: I think the dialog to install graphics drivers is called "Additional Drivers". If there are any available for your graphics card, they should be listed there, and can be activated from there also. | 12:52 |

| Ileden | angela23432: There's also a _remote_ chance that you need to manually select which of two different drivers (ones included in ubuntu) you should choose. And there's no easy graphical way to do that. But that's a very rare case. | 12:54 |
| Evvyddre | what is redmine? | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | __Hayes__: thers some power-saveing issues with some make machines/laptops - best bet would be to check the forums for your exact make of laptop. there may be some knwown tweaks. (check askubuntu.com also) | 12:55 |

| Sludge321 | Hi all. I've just gone dun goofed up. I just ran "sudo chmod -R +X /" where I accidentally hit slash instead of a ".". Would this cause any major issues, I did try to ctrl+c as soon as I hit enter and saw what I'd done, but some damage has been done. Any easy way to compare directory permissions with another system? Or does it not really matter, as it was just making directories executable? Thanks. | 13:08 |
| AdvoWork | to find the size of a file, i know I can do du -csh * for example, but have to keep running it to check how much it increases, is there a realtime command I can use to keep checking a specific filesize? | 13:08 |
| jrib | Sludge321: easiest/fastest solution: reinstall | 13:09 |
| Pici | AdvoWork: you could use 'watch' to keep running the command automatically. | 13:09 |
| newbie|3 | I've 12.04 LTS 64 bit. I use Amule for some time. Yesterday, it worked. Today, no. Where do I need to look to "repair" the problem? | 13:09 |
| WanderingEnder | Sludge321: Is your /home and such mounted on a different partition? Reinstall, its pretty much the fastest and easiest way unless you can't recover the data you'll lose. | 13:10 |
| MonkeyDust | AdvoWork use watch 'ls -l' | 13:10 |
| === weecol is now known as williamcoleman | ||
| Sludge321 | jrib: Yeah :( I think I might have to, will be a real pain though. No - it was on a VPS webserver, so no real home data (sites sit in /var) - plus its all on the one partition anyway. | 13:11 |
| jrib | Sludge321: less easy/slower way is to use setfacl if you have a known good copy of the filesystem somewhere (for example a live cd) | 13:12 |
| Sludge321 | WanderingEnder: Thanks, but unfortunately no separate partition. I have daily backups though. | 13:12 |
| Sludge321 | jrib: Thanks, will take a look - might be helpful. | 13:13 |
| jrib | Sludge321: specifically the --restore option | 13:13 |
| The_BROS | How to record video tour in Google Earth into video file? | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | newbie|3: run it from terminal, look for error messages | 13:14 |
| WanderingEnder | Gah, I can't remember how to work ubottu anymore. The_BROS wants a screen capture program, I think. Should be one in the Software Center. | 13:15 |
| MonkeyDust | The_BROS kazam has a timeout option, i guess | 13:15 |
| Sludge321 | jrib: Thanks. I was kind of crossing my fingers that because it was just setting exec permissions on directories (most of which have it pretty much already set?), i'd be able to get away with my mistake. But I've already received an email from backupninja cron complaining that /etc/backup.d can't be world readable - so I think damage has been done. | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | WanderingEnder: he wants to export a tour from google earth. :) not quiet the same. | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | The_BROS: if the app dosent have the feature - theres the 'recordmydesktop' tool. | 13:15 |
| The_BROS | <WanderingEnder> I know about screen capture | 13:15 |
| tking | i wish i know where to get CentOS help like ubuntu here... pls some1 help me with installng python in CentOS vps bcos yum is not working | 13:16 |
| WanderingEnder | Oh, that. I thought google earth had export tour. | 13:16 |
| WanderingEnder | tking: #CentOS? | 13:16 |
| williamcoleman | is there appropriate spam filters to us in ubuntu | 13:16 |
| newbie|3 | Dr_Willis: Will do that, brb | 13:16 |
| The_BROS | <Dr_Willis> yeah. I know about it. But I try to find the way to record it without using screengrabbers | 13:17 |
| WITRChris | i'm trying to make an answer file for 12.04 to make a completely automated install | 13:17 |

| WITRChris | i've got http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1127055/ so far, but it's still pormpting for location and keyboard and network configuration | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. thought there was some OEM file for that.. but i never do that stuff. | 13:17 |
| WITRChris | then it installs, and asks what tasksel groups to pick | 13:17 |
| WanderingEnder | I thought there was too. | 13:20 |
| WanderingEnder | WITRChris: That sounds like the standard OEM mode, so the end user can have an "out of box" experience. Yeah, that's not what you want. | 13:20 |
| WITRChris | ive got a netboot server | 13:20 |

| zykotick9 | Neal_: i believe you get the Restart Required when there have been kernel updates... and that requires a reboot to apply | 13:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Neal_ if the restart was required after a kernel upgrade, consider using ksplice | 13:25 |

| Evvyddre | is there a file you can just edit? | 13:38 |
| Tm_T | Where do I change display font sizes on Unity? | 13:39 |
| Ileden | Ramattack: The best way to do that isn't really Ubuntu related. Store the email messages on the email server, using IMAP account type. Then you can access the same mailbox in the same state from both ubuntu and your android. | 13:39 |
| Ramattack | Have explained wrong | 13:40 |
| Ileden | Ramattack: For other Android related questions, you can try an Android help site, like http://android.stackexchange.com | 13:40 |
| Ramattack | I want to sync calendar and contacts basically... Mail is managed through Imap yes | 13:41 |
| DJones | Tm_T: You might be able to do that using "myunity" (Not somethig I've played with though | 13:41 |
| Ileden | Ramattack: Ah, ok. Calendar and contacts. Sorry, I don't know much about them on Ubuntu side. | 13:41 |

| Ramattack | Ok then so nobody knows?? | 13:42 |
| === yavor is now known as y4h0 | ||
| Tm_T | Ramattack: depends on what kind of technologies your server supports for syncing calendar and contacts | 13:43 |

| y4h0 | do you know how to install oracle-java-7 in ubuntu 64bit ? | 13:43 |
| zykotick9 | !java | y4h0 | 13:44 |
| ubottu | y4h0: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 13:44 |

| Tm_T | Ramattack: assuming calendrar and contaxts are stored on a server, simply configure both clients (computer and phone) to use the same server/account | 13:45 |

| Calinou | c<Evvyddre> man the torrents are fast 3.5mbs | 14:09 |
| Calinou | that depends on your connection | 14:09 |
| Calinou | a direct download could be as fast | 14:09 |
| DebolazW | Calinou: Though in a well seeded torrent, your connection is going to be the only constraint, whileas with a direct download, you are also constrained by the servers bandwidth. | 14:12 |
| DebolazW | So a torrent is likely to be faster. | 14:12 |

| Calinou | DebolazW, good luck to find well seeded torrents | 14:13 |
| ubottu | Calinou: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:13 |

| ubuntumepls | MonkeyDust: At this moment i'm trying to extract the contents of the ISO file | 14:38 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: during format, did you check for badblocks? | 14:38 |
| ubuntumepls | colock: I checked the smart data to see. Do you suggest something else? | 14:38 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: what does dmesg say? | 14:38 |
| colock | you see some/many I/O Errors there? | 14:39 |
| ubuntumepls | Many. | 14:39 |
| ubuntumepls | colock: Any way to output dmesg to a file? | 14:40 |
| matejv | I have a problem with cups. Its filling disk space in /var/spool/cups. 50GB in couple of minutes. Does anyone know what the problem might be? | 14:40 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: dmesg > outputfile | 14:40 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: if you see many I/O errors on HD, this is bad. well, actually since i think this is a fresh install, you shouldn't have important data (yet) on it | 14:41 |
| colock | srabtnom: if you're interested, some insights about my preseed problem: http://phaq.phunsites.net/2010/12/08/debian-netinst-installer-ignores-network-and-locale-preseed-cfg-settings-upon-pxetftp-boot/ | 14:42 |
| colock | quite sure this isn't only the case with pxetftp boot | 14:42 |
| ubuntumepls | colock: if there are many bad sectors, does it mean their number will expand? | 14:42 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: means the HDD is near the end of its life | 14:43 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: buy a new one | 14:43 |
| ubuntumepls | colock: the other one failed me and is in service, this one is temporary for a week or so | 14:43 |
| colock | ubuntumepls: still, maybe you get I/O errors about the cdrom, you know, and it's just a defect cd | 14:43 |
| ubuntumepls | colock: 80GB IDE hdd... | 14:43 |
| colock | seems old | 14:43 |

| epinky | only two? | 15:29 |
| Blazemore | uofm49426: More RAM is almost always better than faster RAM. If you think you will benefit from 6Gb of RAM over 4Gb, go ahead and install it. Any speed difference will not have a noticable effect compared to the improvements of having more memory available | 15:29 |
| === mfisch is now known as Guest6741 | ||
| Blazemore | When I was specifying my current system, I could have 16Gb of RAM, or 8Gb of faster RAM for the same price, and I went for the 16Gb because the extra speed resulting from less swapping is immense | 15:31 |
| uofm49426 | well everyone going 12 16 gb now days just to see how much they can cram into it | 15:31 |
| ssta | plus having a large shm ramdisk is insanely useful for some applications (orders of magnitude improvement in performance for disk intensive tasks) | 15:31 |
| Blazemore | ssta: you speak the truth. | 15:32 |
| Blazemore | Having 16Gb of RAM, two monitors and two sets of keyboard and mice effectively allows me to run two computers at once using VirtualBox, each with 8Gb of RAM | 15:32 |
| uofm49426 | i think i read sometime under a scenario single channel is better then dual | 15:33 |
| ssta | I run development j2ee appservers/IDEs from shm...literally 10-50x increase in startup/deployment times | 15:33 |
| ssta | of course, you need LOTS of memory for that, but I wouldn't build a system with less than 16G these days | 15:33 |
| uofm49426 | well my motherboard max is 8 | 15:34 |

| kyentei | Hello all! Quick question: What encryption method does Ubuntu 12.04 use per default voor /etc/shadow? is it SHA512? | 15:37 |
| MonkeyDust | CharlieSu downgrade may and most probably will harm your system | 15:37 |

| MonkeyDust | CharlieSu start from the beginning, what are you doing and what goes wrong, maybe there's another solution | 15:40 |

| gopostal | NewWorld, hmm no :( | 15:50 |
| wildcat86 | I've downloaded the latest snapshot of the .deb file, but it synaptic doesn't seem to make it stick. | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | wildcat86 update what, exactly? | 15:50 |
| wildcat86 | my kernel | 15:51 |
| NewWorld | gopostal: Unplug it. Replug and check `dmesg` does it list any new events? | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | wildcat86 the current kernel is 3.2.0-27, anything higher is not supported here | 15:51 |
| zgr | hello, where I can get fresh chromium (not chrome!) for ubuntu 12.04? ppas are out of date | 15:51 |
| Blazemore | zgr you want latest stable upstream? | 15:52 |
| wildcat86 | Hm. | 15:52 |
| MonkeyDust | zgr i use chromium, but no ppa was needed, it's in the repos | 15:52 |
| bharath_ | though my architecture is i386 but wubi.exe is downloading amd64 ubuntu, how can I overcome it? | 15:52 |
| wildcat86 | MonkeyDust, ok, how do I upgrade to .27? | 15:52 |
| Blazemore | zgr: You can build the source, there are instructions here http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructions | 15:52 |
| wildcat86 | I'm running 3.2.0-23-generic | 15:52 |
| wildcat86 | and if my computer isn't attached to a cat5, it freezes. | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | wildcat86 basically: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:53 |
| wildcat86 | usually on login | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | zgr, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 15:53 |
| wildcat86 | anyone else have this really annoying freeze problem? | 15:53 |
| wildcat86 | I've only experienced it with 12.04 | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | zgr, get rid of the ppas first | 15:53 |
| wildcat86 | I was thinking hardware? | 15:53 |
| gopostal | NewWorld, i do get a pretty big list but i guess it has to be on the bottom line? there doenst seem to be anything related to a harddisk | 15:54 |
| bharath_ | though my architecture is i386 but wubi.exe is downloading amd64 ubuntu, how can I overcome it? | 15:54 |
| lJ6il | Is there a non-graphical way to choose the fastest repository ? | 15:54 |
| Blazemore | bharath_: Download the ISO yourself and use Wubi to install it? (can that be done?) | 15:54 |
| NewWorld | gopostal: Yeah. OK I mean do `dmesg` unplug+replug, and dmesg again. See what's new | 15:54 |
| zgr | BluesKaj: but in repos is out of date too: 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 15:54 |
| bharath_ | Blazemore: will it work? | 15:55 |
| Blazemore | lJ6il: There are two ways. The best way is to use netselect and some grep | 15:55 |
| Blazemore | lJ6il: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line/141536#141536 | 15:55 |
| Blazemore | bharath_: I don't know if Wubi has a way to select an iso manually these days | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | zgr current chromium ersion is 18.0.1025.168 | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | version* | 15:56 |
| lJ6il | Thank you Blazemore ! | 15:56 |
| Blazemore | bharath_: Yes! it will work. Download the 32-bit iso and place it in the same folder as Wubi.exe | 15:56 |
| gopostal | NewWorld, hmm nothing | 15:56 |
| zgr | MonkeyDust: "current" is actually 22.0.1199.0 | 15:57 |
| Blazemore | bharath_: OR right-click Wubi.exe, select Create Shortcut. Right-click the shortcut, select Properties. Modify the Target line like "...wubi.exe" --32bit | 15:57 |
| wildcat86 | W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/Release | 15:57 |
| Blazemore | I'm on 18.0.1025.168 of Chromium, how can I upgrade? | 15:57 |
| wildcat86 | is there a reason for that not on my end? | 15:57 |
| MonkeyDust | !latest| zgr | 15:57 |
| ubottu | zgr: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 15:57 |
| bharath_ | Blazemore: why do I need a shortcut? | 15:58 |
| Blazemore | bharath_: Because you can't add command-line arguments to a Windows program from the GUI | 15:59 |
| NewWorld | gopostal: do you think the actual hardware is bust? how long after you connect it does it power down (every time for the same duration)? Does it make weird noises? | 15:59 |
| Blazemore | You could open a command-line and browse to the directory, then do wubi.exe --32bit | 15:59 |
| zgr | MonkeyDust: yes I understand but staying on out of date version with vulerabilities http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/chrome-20-fixes-20-security-vulnerabilities/12623 not good idea too | 16:00 |
| gopostal | NewWorld, yeah its probably bust, it sound well, starts spinning but after 10-20secs it just stops | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | zgr i guess the version you want is simply not supported here | 16:01 |

| NewWorld | gopostal: If the hardware is busted you could take it to a recovery specialist, but their services aren't cheap | 16:04 |
| NewWorld | gopostal: Last last last resort , I heard that if you put it in the freezer for a few hours in a sealed bag. Then you take it out and have 10 mins to recover what you can before it's permanently gone. That's just what I heard though, you should google some more tips) | 16:05 |
| gopostal | NewWorld, oke its worth a try :) and to open up the disk? | 16:06 |
| ssta | don't open up the disk...you'll definitely lose teh data then | 16:07 |

| OMGUBUNTU | Of particular note, the following operating systems have problems: | 16:23 |
| OMGUBUNTU | RHEL 4 Gold: Yum support in the up2date version delivered in RHEL4 Gold appears to be broken. Please update up2date to a later version | 16:23 |
| OMGUBUNTU | RHEL 3: RHEL3 has been unsupported by OMSA for several releases now. Additionally, this repository requires yum 2.4.x or higher. The available versions of yum for CentOS and RHEL 3 are not new enough to work. Specifically, they dont understand the 'mirrorlist' directive, nor do they have the plugin API necessary to set the system id. | 16:23 |
| OMGUBUNTU | Fedora: The community releases are officially unsupported in this repository. You can, however, fake it by editing the yum config and changing "fc" to "el5". This is completely unsupported. If it breaks you can keep all the pieces. | 16:23 |

| sorrymyeng | hello, Im want to run pdf-viewer from console, what is the name of default ubuntu 12.04 pdf-viewer? in 'About' it says as is 'Document Viewer' | 16:35 |
| lazarus_ | is there any way to make ubuntu re run the hardware detection | 16:36 |
| zh | sorrymyeng: I believe it's `evince` | 16:37 |
| gvo | sorrymyeng: I think zh is right | 16:37 |
| lazarus_ | because i took the HDD out of one pc and put it in another most things work but not all | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | sorrymyeng yes, that's the name of the program, it seems | 16:37 |
| NewWorld | lazarus_: doesn't it do it every time on boot? | 16:38 |
| NewWorld | i mean h/w detection | 16:38 |
| sorrymyeng | zh: thanks, you are right, but how did you know that? | 16:38 |

| Quakky | Hi, quick question. I need to format my drive, but I would like to split my hard drive into 2 different paritions so I can put some data I don't want erased on the new partition. What do I use to split the drive? | 16:39 |

| === matt_ is now known as Guest41855 | ||
| gvo | sorrymyeng: In the about box there is a link to www.gnome.projects/evince | 16:39 |
| gvo | Quakky: Is this a new drive or one you are running from? | 16:40 |
| lazarus_ | the touchscreen on my laptop isnt working | 16:40 |
| Quakky | gvo: running from. | 16:40 |
| sorrymyeng | gvo: haaa did not notive that! | 16:41 |
| gvo | Quakky: Gparted is one way. It's a gui that will let you resize a partition, thus freeing up space. | 16:41 |
| gvo | Quakky: Be sure to back anything important up. | 16:41 |
| sorrymyeng | zh: where is the properties button?o_O Im in unuty | 16:41 |
| lazarus_ | i think i have all the required packages installed | 16:41 |
| sorrymyeng | *unity | 16:41 |
| gvo | Quakky: And for safety's sake I would do it from a live cd/dvd. There is a gparted cd you can burn. | 16:42 |
| gvo | Quakky: To me, it's iffy to do it to a live partition. | 16:43 |
| Quakky | gvo: so it's not as simple as doing it on windows, I see | 16:43 |
| NewWorld | gvo: Quakky: If you unmount the drive you can partition safely | 16:43 |
| gvo | NewWorld: If it's his root drive I don't think he can umount it | 16:43 |
| NewWorld | gvo: he said he wants to format the drive, so I assumed it's not his root | 16:44 |
| === Guest6741 is now known as mfisch | ||
| gvo | It's the drive he's running from he said. | 16:44 |
| Quakky | NewWorld: Format the drive and install a new version of linux | 16:44 |
| gvo | Quakky: OK I stand corrected | 16:45 |
| NewWorld | Quakky: If you're installing Ubuntu, iirc a part of the install process is partitioning. So just do it from there | 16:45 |
| gvo | Quakky: during the install select the "other" or "manual" partitioning scheme. | 16:45 |
| gvo | I forget the exact wording. | 16:45 |
| zh | sorrymyeng: I'm using gnome-shell, not sure if it's different. Here's an image of the dialog box I'm looking at, properties is on the right, second to last button. http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_the_Ubuntu_Desktop_Menu_System | 16:45 |
| roasted_ | Hello! I'm trying to get DHCP to auto start on Ubuntu (dhcp server that is). It's not auto starting... I have to manually issue sudo service isc-dhcp-server start each time. Is there a way to work around this BESIDES the gui "startup applications"?? I want it to run automatically as a startup service/daemon without needing to log in, etc. | 16:46 |
| Quakky | NewWorld: correct, but the other part is it will format all the drive thus losing my data, hense why I want to back it up on seperate partition before I start the install process | 16:46 |
| gvo | Quakky: Then you need to do that from a live cd. | 16:47 |
| roasted_ | gah - lost connection. anybody have any idea on the DHCP issue? | 16:47 |
| gvo | Quakky: The gparted cd would be a good choice but many of the other live cds out there have gparted on them. | 16:47 |
| Quakky | gvo: Gotcha :). I'll keep in mind next time to allocate a certain space for data I don't want to lose. I might have a Live CD sitting somewhere. Thanks a lot | 16:48 |
| gvo | Quakky: I usually have a separate /home directory I don't reformat when installing new OS. | 16:49 |
| NewWorld | roasted_: It's not a secure workaround, nor is it the best way (I'm sure there's a proper way to add services on startup in Ubuntu), but you can whitelist programs from asking root password in /etc/sudoers (use `sudo visudo`) | 16:49 |
| sorrymyeng | zh: "To customize a menu, right click over the menu name in the panel and select Edit menu" - if i right-click on unity item - it opens like it was left click | 16:50 |
| ssta | roasted_: /etc/rc.local is run at every boot (as root). You can start stuff up in that | 16:50 |
| roasted_ | NewWorld, ehh, I'd hate to do that. I did a 10-12 upgrade and now it wont auto start, whcih is what makes me wonder what happened. | 16:51 |
| roasted_ | ssta, is that to say I can simply put the command in /etc/rc.local and that's it? even without sudo? | 16:51 |
| ssta | roasted_: yep | 16:51 |
| ckap | I hate to butt in, but I desperately need to know if Wubi overwrites the Windows install | 16:51 |
| ssta | roasted_: make sure the command returns though... | 16:51 |
| roasted_ | ssta, not to sound like a total idiot, but how do you mean? | 16:51 |
| gvo | roasted_: You should be able to enable upstart to run it. CHeck the upstart documentation. | 16:51 |
| ssta | roasted_: I dunno how that dhcp daemon runs, but often there's a "start in background" option or something that you need to add. | 16:52 |
| sorrymyeng | also, guys, how to install `tlmgr` (http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html) - TeX Live manager? | 16:52 |
| gvo | ckap: It rewrites the boot record but does not touch the windows system. | 16:52 |
| ssta | roasted_: the "right" way is to create an upstart script, rc.local is a quick and dirty solution | 16:52 |
| ckap | gvo: Thanks a million! | 16:52 |

| Ryoshia | it's saying Fatal: Couldn't Open Display and No Display variable set.. | 16:54 |
| Ryoshia | I would copy and paste the terminal's code and such, but I can't even get to the GUI | 16:54 |
| gvo | Ryoshia: At what point are you getting this message? | 16:55 |
| Ryoshia | after boot up.. | 16:55 |
| gvo | Do you get the terminal prompt? | 16:55 |
| Ryoshia | Ubuntu will not boot up to the gui it boots to the Terminall.. | 16:55 |
| Ryoshia | so I type StartX to go to the GUI | 16:55 |
| Ryoshia | and I got No Display Variable Set.. | 16:56 |
| Squall5668 | Ryoshia: try "start lightdm" | 16:56 |
| Ryoshia | I did that and got the Fatal: Couldn't Open Display | 16:56 |
| GirlyGirl | Ryoshia: Which graphic card ... identify it with "lspci" | 16:57 |
| gvo | Ryoshia: Look in the .xession-errors file and see if anything pops up. | 16:57 |

| Ryoshia | Nvidia Drivers it told me upon completion of the Installation, after rebooting to update and I went to look for drivers and the proprietary drivers were found | 16:59 |
| NewWorld | Ryoshia: If it's complaining about the DISPLAY variable, what happens when you try `DISPLAY=:0.0 && startx`? | 17:00 |
| Slender | Hey | 17:01 |
| Ryoshia | not sure haven't tried it like that | 17:01 |
| gvo | Ryoshia: boot with a nomodeset added to the command line and if you get to a gui, reinstall the nvidia drivers. | 17:01 |

| DannyKB30 | Hi | 17:02 |
| Ryoshia | which makes me think it might be something with the installation too not just the video drivers.. | 17:03 |

| Mr_Kaizer | Never had to wait for youtube vids to load in 11.10 | 17:04 |
| Ryoshia | so instead of using Ryoshia and password.. it used Kendra's Side and no password, and when I went to try and login using the Kendra's side and No Password it told me that it was invalid, but that couldn't be the case because didn't mess with the user stuff | 17:04 |

| Benkinooby | hi, my hardware clock is ok but my system time wanders off all the time (by random margins). i was advised to use cron to reset the time periodically but that's a rather nasty fix. any idea what makes my system time go bonkers? | 17:52 |

| Benkinooby | gvo, i read about some kind of adjust functions, which compare the difference between hardware and system clock and then adjust them. but i did not fully understand if that is the cause or if that function is even active | 17:55 |

| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, i think that the following happened: ubuntu seems to use a trick mechanism, which causes the sys-clock and the hw-clock to correct each other my measuring the margin of their difference. by manually editing on of these times, i might have brought that mechanism out of balance. now, the clocks are assuming that my manual interference set them right (which is not true) and they use the change i did to them as a reference for furth | 18:05 |

| L3top | ah... thanks ozozo... pasting the EXACT error would have been a problem... lol | 18:29 |
| L3top | not so bad really. | 18:29 |
| kartlos | nobody knows what happened to the dwm-tools package? | 18:30 |
| L3top | ozozo: I am not really sure... rebooting will get you back to where you were... I believe this is why the -r tag was probably there. | 18:30 |

| kartlos | Pici: thank you! do you know why it was removed? and how can I install dmenu for xmonad instead? | 18:32 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 18:37 |

| dante123 | should I use eth2 since that is what shows up in ifconfig | 18:39 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, ok, i found out that i have ntp and ntpdate installed... maybe they are interfering? | 18:39 |
| gvo | dante123: Yes sorry | 18:40 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest57472 | ||
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: no | 18:40 |
| gvo | dante123: and restart the networking | 18:40 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, i purged ntp | 18:40 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: maybe ntp is not correct but ntpdate and ntp dont conflict one is a daemon and the other a command that only runs when you run it | 18:40 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, ah ok... i because it say "if you have ntp you don't need ntpdate" | 18:41 |
| p0zh1e | hello | 18:41 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, ok... so in that case should i go for ntp again | 18:41 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: technically - but so many times the time servers crap out and you need ntpdate to reset the time properly.. | 18:41 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, or maybe leave it aside for now | 18:41 |
| SolarisBoy | but OK.. | 18:41 |
| dante123 | using the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart command? | 18:41 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: even better /etc/init.d/ntp stop would have sufficed =) | 18:41 |
| gvo | or the service command | 18:41 |

| arrrghhh | sorry gnome-settings-daemon | 18:42 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, don't know... maybe i'll leave it uninstalled and call it troubleshooting :D | 18:42 |
| p0zh1e | list | 18:42 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, btw i use a ubuntu 10.04 minimal install and fluxbox | 18:42 |

| dante123 | okay now it finished and says nmbd start/running process 2741 | 18:42 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, so there are hardly any gnome services up and running | 18:42 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: lols yea no need to put it back if you weren't really using it,, ntp is a smooth way of keeping time set... assuming you have inet access always or a local time stratum available on the lan | 18:43 |
| dante123 | ifconfig shows same as before | 18:43 |
| dante123 | server not found in browser still | 18:43 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, it's a laptop and i don't have constant internet connection | 18:43 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: ok - afaik ntp is the only thing that plays with time so i guess now set the time and see if it skews off by itself.. if it does you may have some h/w issues.. or kernel update may be needed | 18:43 |
| dante123 | nm applet under edit connections....wired.....has nothing | 18:43 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, yeah, i think that's the way to go | 18:43 |

| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, so far thank you for your interest and patience | 18:44 |
| dante123 | could there be something we need to blacklist or change in some config file? | 18:44 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, can you recommend me a way to reset the system time... or should i stick with the hwclock -s | 18:45 |
| Benkinooby | ? | 18:45 |

| dante123 | rebooting | 18:45 |

| dante123 | gvo....not sure.....will lspci tell me? | 18:45 |
| gvo | Yes | 18:45 |
| dante123 | ok hang on | 18:45 |
| VEndix | is there any tool that shows temperature measures that are in my pc? | 18:45 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: sure no problem =) | 18:45 |
| gvo | dante123: May be a speed or auto-negotiation issue too. | 18:46 |
| dante123 | ethernet controller: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03) | 18:47 |
| dante123 | one difference now gvo....connection information no longer greyed out.. | 18:47 |
| NewWorld | VEndix: is there no info on that on google? | 18:47 |
| VEndix | NewWorld: i don't know | 18:48 |
| dante123 | when selecting however it says Error Displaying connecton information: No valid active connections found. | 18:48 |
| gvo | dante123: So what's it say? | 18:48 |
| NewWorld | VEndix: you should always check google before asking here, fyi . good luck)) | 18:48 |
| gvo | dante123: Maybe that's progress? | 18:48 |
| dante123 | should we try doing the ifconfig stuff now | 18:48 |
| trism | djzn_: thought it only works in the unity-2d and gnome classic metacity sessions, so we may be dealing with multiple bugs (compiz + lightdm) | 18:48 |
| gvo | dante123: Sure | 18:48 |
| dante123 | okay what is the command: ifconfig eth2 up | 18:49 |
| trism | djzn_: oh gnome-shell works too | 18:49 |
| dante123 | gvo not sure what command to run | 18:49 |
| gvo | Yes | 18:49 |
| djzn_ | trism: what works in gshell | 18:49 |
| arrrghhh | anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?! | 18:49 |
| djzn_ | trism: the cursor size is ok? | 18:50 |
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, i did 'sudo ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org && sudo hwclock -w' in order to align my hw-clock to time servers | 18:50 |
| === Vamadeus is now known as Vegabondsx | ||
| Benkinooby | SolarisBoy, forgt: both clocks are in line now | 18:50 |
| dante123 | okay eth2 shows up but no address (other than hardware) gvo | 18:50 |
| SolarisBoy | sweet so you did use -w as you got the sys clock up to speed first | 18:50 |
| SolarisBoy | Benkinooby: nice work | 18:51 |
| gvo | dante123: lsmod | grep r81 | 18:51 |

| dante123 | also gvo is wired network is greyed out and so is device not managed underneath it....whereas before the reboot is said 'disconnected' | 18:51 |

| dante123 | gvo do you mean run sudo modprobe -a r8168 | 19:04 |
| gvo | sudo modprobe r8169 | 19:05 |

| doodman_ | sorry | 19:07 |
| dante123 | you mean by running network restart command? | 19:07 |
| gvo | dante123: Why not? | 19:07 |
| Niker | Ok i am Installing Windows xp | 19:07 |
| gvo | I assume the modprobe didn't give you any output. | 19:08 |
| dante123 | actually it showed the interface with kernel 8169 | 19:08 |
| bazhang | Niker, did you have an actual ubuntu support question | 19:08 |

| === anon4942948 is now known as tomaro | ||

| Niker | Your letters are red | 19:10 |
| gvo | OK try it. | 19:10 |
| gvo | dante123: restarting networking should have done it with the entries in interfaces, however | 19:11 |
| dante123 | okay, here is the deal....when I run ifconfig -a | 19:11 |
| doodman_ | Niker Thats ENOUGH | 19:11 |
| dante123 | it shows eth2 and an eth2:avahi that does have inet addre | 19:11 |
| Niker | SHOOY DOOY! | 19:11 |
| Niker | Bye | 19:12 |
| dante123 | why is there eth2 and eth2:avahi there? | 19:12 |
| shing` | Is there a way for apt-get to ignore missing package errors when doing apt-get purge? | 19:12 |
| arrrghhh | anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?! | 19:12 |
| dante123 | gvo? | 19:13 |
| gvo | dante123: Outside of my experience. | 19:13 |
| dante123 | ok, well thanks for trying | 19:13 |
| arrrghhh | dante123, avahi is a zeroconf autodiscovery tool | 19:14 |
| arrrghhh | dante123, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29 | 19:14 |
| OerHeks | dante123, Avahi is a daemon (a service) which is responsible for several things, including attributing you an IP address when DHCP (automatic IP address from a DHCP server on the network) fails. The fact that eth2:avahi appears means that the system failed to get an IP on the eth2 interface | 19:15 |
| gvo | dante123: I have yet to figure out why you have a eth2 and no eth0 or 1. | 19:15 |
| arrrghhh | dante123, gvo - if that's the issue, i would guess he perhaps swapped motherboards or something...? | 19:16 |
| zykotick9 | gvo: changes to MAC address most likely (hardware or manually) | 19:16 |
| arrrghhh | ah MAC updates would do it too ^^ | 19:16 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Iv got a bit of a problem can someone help? | 19:17 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, don't ask to ask, just ask... | 19:17 |
| TheFloatingBrain | k | 19:17 |
| dante123 | gvo, originally I had a wireless card in this pc...it was flaky as all getout....we tried running wicd instad of network-mangler....and then had to reinstall network mangler after wicd did not work anybetter....and somehow in all that....when I went back to wired it would not work.....but eventually did via command line stuff...but I cant remember how I did it ..and today it went down and cannot get it back up | 19:17 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Iv got an updater going, in ubuntu (I installed with Wubi), however the system is telling me there is not enough space left, I tried telling it to uninstall stuff, but the update has to complete first | 19:18 |
| TheFloatingBrain | what should I do? | 19:18 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, is there anything you can delete? | 19:18 |
| gvo | dante123: OK I've run out of ideas. | 19:19 |
| arrrghhh | or temporarily move | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | I bairly have any files in the first place | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | now it says | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Replace your changes in '/etc/gnome/defaults.list' with a later version of the configuration file? | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | If you don't know why the file is there already, it is usually safe to replace it. | 19:19 |
| FloodBot1 | TheFloatingBrain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | k, sorry | 19:19 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, that's just asking about updating that file. | 19:19 |
| dante123 | thanks for effort gvo | 19:19 |
| djzn | trism: the bug is in compiz code I think | 19:19 |
| p3rtutt1 | I've just developed a small web application, here's the link, I hope its good for someone, suggestions are welcome :) => http://hash.makemilk.net/ | 19:19 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, usually it's OK to say yes to those, unless you know you've made customizations to that file. | 19:19 |
| TheFloatingBrain | alright I will say yes | 19:20 |
| bazhang | p3rtutt1, dont advertise here | 19:20 |
| p3rtutt1 | sorry | 19:20 |
| dante123 | i think last time i got it working with some kind of dhclient eth2 command or something | 19:20 |
| djzn | trism: i logged with gnome-panel / classic with effects, and it wouldn't resize, through GDM | 19:20 |
| p3rtutt1 | I just thought it could be useful to someone | 19:20 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Is that the file in which Wubi restricted the disk space Ubuntu could use? | 19:20 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, nope. that file exists on the Windows side of things. | 19:20 |
| djzn | trism: then I logged out and back with gnome-panel /classic NO EFFECTS, and it works.... (all I did was to set the 48 value in dconf-editor) | 19:20 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Ah I see | 19:20 |
| djzn | trism: so I think it's related to compiz, not the greeters | 19:21 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Is there a way I can tell ubuntu it is okay to use more disk space? | 19:21 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, sorry i've never used wubi... i don't know if you can expand the image after the fact. i believe you have to specify when you first install/setup WUBI. | 19:21 |
| TheFloatingBrain | :-( | 19:22 |
| arrrghhh | let me google | 19:22 |
| trism | djzn: again, my thought is that there are two bugs here. compiz is definitely having issues, but the non-compiz sessions are having issues when using certain lightdm greeters (at least for me) | 19:22 |
| TheFloatingBrain | is this gunna overwrite something in windows | 19:22 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, oh no. | 19:22 |
| TheFloatingBrain | 0.0 | 19:22 |
| TheFloatingBrain | What? | 19:22 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, it won't overwrite anything in windows. | 19:22 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Kewl :-) | 19:22 |
| djzn | trism: GDM + compiz = fail, GDM without compiz = WORKS | 19:23 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, here's a guide on how to resize disks in WUBI --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk | 19:23 |
| trism | djzn: yes exactly | 19:23 |
| TheFloatingBrain | Oh hey awsome | 19:23 |
| arrrghhh | djzn, don't use compiz, it is fail. and pretty much dead. | 19:24 |
| TheFloatingBrain | thanks I tried to find somthing like this a while ago but could not. | 19:24 |
| TheFloatingBrain | :-D | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | TheFloatingBrain, no worries ;) | 19:24 |
| djzn | arrrghhh, why do you say that.... | 19:24 |
| trism | arrrghhh: since the default ubuntu session uses compiz, sort of an issue | 19:24 |
| bazhang | arrrghhh, compiz is not dead at all | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | djzn, it's not actively developed? | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | trijntje, wtf | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | am i thinking of something else? sorry. | 19:24 |
| arrrghhh | trism, sorry trijntje | 19:25 |
| djzn | arrrghhh, but why would canonical run unity on top of compiz if it's 'dead' ? | 19:25 |
| bazhang | djzn, its not dead at all | 19:25 |
| arrrghhh | djzn, ignore me, i must be thinking of something else. apologies. | 19:25 |

| J3f | how to desactivate unity ? | 19:32 |
| J3f | i hate unity | 19:32 |
| OMGUBUNTU | install gnome-shell or something of that sort | 19:32 |
| bazhang | !notunity | J3f | 19:33 |
| ubottu | J3f: 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 | 19:33 |
| OMGUBUNTU | and switch to it on the login screen | 19:33 |
| Mathuin | zykotick9: how do I do that? | 19:33 |
| OMGUBUNTU | "gnome-shell" j3f | 19:33 |
| Mathuin | Do I click the round icon to the right of the username after logging out, then select from a dropdown or something? | 19:33 |
| OMGUBUNTU | J3f just install gnome-shell and switch to it. Or kde whatever fits your boat | 19:33 |
| djzn | OMGUBUNTU, are you from the omg site? | 19:33 |
| OMGUBUNTU | ubuntu icon by your login | 19:33 |

| OMGUBUNTU | xfce? | 19:34 |
| Vamadeus | install gnome from the software center then you can boot into gnome shell or gnome classic as OMGUBUNTU suggested. | 19:34 |
| J3f | how to install gnome-shell ? apt-get install gnome-shell ? | 19:34 |
| Mathuin | how long will Gnome continue to be supported? | 19:34 |
| OMGUBUNTU | Also xfce is lightwhieght however Kde is another alternative but does take a bite of resources | 19:35 |
| OMGUBUNTU | Mathuin A long long itme | 19:35 |
| OMGUBUNTU | time | 19:35 |
| Mathuin | OMGUBUNTU: pleasing. thank you. | 19:35 |
| Mathuin | I fear the Weyland. Irrationally. | 19:35 |
| OMGUBUNTU | "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" | 19:35 |
| scientes | mathieuq, quantal with have a gnome-shell spin CD | 19:35 |
| OMGUBUNTU | should do you well or look it up in the software center | 19:35 |

| OMGUBUNTU | imanc Its security | 19:40 |

| J3f | i hate unity xd i like more evant | 19:40 |
| OMGUBUNTU | imanc You can disable locking of the screen when screen turns off | 19:41 |

| imanc | can anyone think of any downsides to using gnome with 12.04? | 19:46 |
| ashka | not really, no | 19:47 |
| Joustin | When installing 12.04 can you change the default drive | 19:48 |
| imanc | ok, cool - i'm going back :) | 19:48 |
| Joustin | As in not installing on the primary? | 19:49 |
| pb | imanc: its the users sole discression when choosing which Gui to use. factors do need considering about what sort of graphics driver you're using vs the custom options available to you. but besides that, more about what you like the look/feel of. | 19:49 |
| ashka | Joustin: sure you can | 19:50 |

| lonnie | how do I get Ubuntu Server 12.04 to automount usb devices? | 20:02 |
| lonnie | desktop does this, but not server. | 20:02 |
| epinky | lonnie: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/automount.8.html | 20:05 |
| superjoe | can anyone explain this linker error? http://pastie.org/4385707 | 20:07 |
| superjoe | seems to work fine on an older ubuntu box I have laying around | 20:07 |
| smokie | so no one here knows how to start a batch file on boot in ubuntu server 12.04? | 20:08 |
| bazhang | smokie, a .bat? | 20:08 |
| smokie | bazhang, a bash file, or .bat? im new to this so im up for some pointers if you got any | 20:09 |
| bazhang | smokie, bash and batch are quite different. explain exactly what you are trying to do | 20:09 |
| smokie | bazhang, a script that will run certain commands at startup | 20:10 |
| bazhang | smokie, what commands exactly. please be very clear. | 20:10 |
| smokie | bazhang, to automaticly add ipv6 ips from tunnel broker | 20:11 |
| lonnie | epinky looking now | 20:11 |
| drostie | smokie: /etc/rc.local et al.? | 20:11 |
| smokie | drostie, i dont know exactly what that means, im still not that savvy with ubuntu server | 20:12 |
| smokie | bazhang, im using HE tunnel broker to have ipv6, everytime the server reboots, i have to readd everything from the start | 20:13 |
| smokie | so i was thinking of adding a batch file that runs on startup to automatilcy add them | 20:13 |
| lonnie | I tried installing automout using : sudo apt-get install automount (no luck that way) | 20:13 |
| NewWorld | smokie: the commands in /etc/rc.local are executed when the computer boots up (before you even login), so you can put stuff there | 20:13 |
| drostie | smokie: there exists a filesystem which has certain directories. Directories are separated from other directories by forward slashes. The root directory of the entire filesystem is / . You may see its contents by typing `ls /` into a shell. | 20:14 |
| drostie | smokie: one of the directories which it contains is called `/etc` which hosts lots of config files. | 20:14 |
| drostie | smokie: one of those files is named `rc.local`, hence `/etc/rc.local`. | 20:15 |
| drostie | smokie: if you `cat /etc/rc.local` you will find that it says " This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel" which is probably what you want. | 20:15 |
| smokie | NewWorld, so what? i just add the location of my bash file there and it will automaticly executed? | 20:16 |
| smokie | drostie, if i understood you right, youre saying i should add the commands i want in that same file? | 20:16 |
| smokie | drostie, but wouldnt that get a bit messy with so many commands added? | 20:17 |
| NewWorld | smokie: You can put the contents of the bash file into rc.local , or add to rc.local: /path/to/bash/file . | 20:17 |
| Adarc | hello guys, how do i change change my "default soundcard"in ubuntu 12.04? i do not find any option in system settings > audio (like set as standard, or drag them to the top), i would like to use my usb headset instead of internal speakers | 20:17 |
| Adarc | just installed ubuntu for the first time, sorry for that "noob question" | 20:18 |
| drostie | smokie: if you have a lot of files you should consider figuring out which runlevel you actually need and then you should look at the directories named by `ls -ld /etc/rc*.d`. | 20:18 |
| drostie | smokie: or, for that matter, check out `man service` so that you can invoke it the same way that you invoke native commands. | 20:19 |
| drostie | smokie: like if you have apache installed and you need to restart it you would usually `sudo service apache restart` or so. | 20:20 |
| caixa | anyone know if its possible to run aura de on ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| drostie | caixa: I'd help you with that but "aura de" is ungooglable. | 20:21 |
| Adarc | nevermind, you just need to click the sound device and its standard, pretty weird if you used to "set as standard" or priority list things | 20:21 |

| Praxi | I don't appear to be able to resize windows on ubuntu 12.04 x64. I grab a corner and drag, nothing happens. The icon does change like its going to drag. | 21:42 |
| popsch | is there a simple application that lets you configure the sound? I need something for my beloved but computer-illiterate parents, who constantly complain that 'now the sound is not working again'. A simple GUI with two buttons: "Use Computer" and "Use Headset" | 21:45 |
| hydrox24 | I would say "pavucontrol" it's not ultra simple, but you can just direct them toward the output tab. | 21:46 |
| popsch | I know pavucontrol. that's what I use to fix the problem. they can't learn to use it | 21:46 |
| popsch | just something with two buttons that does a sanity check and turns the mic on, the audio on, sets all streams to the headset | 21:47 |
| popsch | the constantly changing audio settings are the single thing that cause the most grief with them using Ubuntu | 21:48 |
| popsch | another good thing would be to prevent applications from changing the audio settings. I want to freeze them. For example, I don't want skype to try and outsmarten my setup that works (and then breaking it) | 21:49 |
| hydrox24 | mmm, I understand | 21:49 |
| popsch | something like this: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26433/audio-switcher/ | 21:50 |

| W4sp | popsch: To simplify things I would suggest to use CLI to control the audio settings. If you are satisfied with one profile of audio settings (head set) use the CLI to obtain all parameters and settings and write it to a file, then proceed with the second choice in the same way with a different file name. Make the script(s) easy to remember. You can create menu items for it if they wish. The downside is that at least once you yourself need to configure the aud | 22:05 |
| sazawal | I just installed gnome-shell 3 on ubuntu. The battery icon is kind of invisible in the panel | 22:05 |
| popsch | W4sp, I was thinking about that. Is there a command like 'alsa store' for pavucontrol? | 22:06 |
| sazawal | I tried changing the theme to advaita and it is visible, can anyone tell me how to make it visible in ambiance or radiance? | 22:06 |
| Praxi | how do I make a internet shortcut that I can burn to a CD and then give to someone. | 22:07 |
| hydrox24 | davis776: try using the minimal install ISO | 22:08 |
| davis776 | hydrox24: ok | 22:11 |
| W4sp | popsch: I can not comment on pavucontrol. Unfortunately I cannot give you firm advice as I have OpenBSD under my finger tips. Otherwise I would be able to provide you with detailed suggestions. I would, however, look into the alsa options. For the mission you are about to embark it would be good to configure the device(s) with a GUI but fetch the audio parameters with a CLI tool and divert the output to a file. | 22:12 |
| popsch | W4sp, alsa will work with 'alsa store' and 'alsa load', but that doesn't help me with pulseaudio | 22:13 |
| eccezziunalveram | hi | 22:13 |
| W4sp | I can only hope that someone looks over my shoulder here and gives you the correct tool name. In OBSD it would be mixerctl and audioctl, for which you need to find the equivalent. :-( | 22:13 |
| eccezziunalveram | can i explaon a problem with vlc? | 22:13 |
| W4sp | popsch: pacmd and pactl would be a good candidate though. | 22:14 |

| eamon111 | Hi. I need help installing ubuntu on my computer. I have no CD drive so I need to install from USB. I have no Windows 7 admin rights (neither I nor the computer's owner know the password), so I can't run the liveusbcreator.exe. How to proceed? | 22:19 |
| TheDarkPirate | Jarrydx26: you could check on wikipedia ;) | 22:20 |
| Jarrydx26 | TheDarkPirate: Thanks i will check there | 22:21 |
| eamon111 | How do I create a LiveUSB manually? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | eamon111: you can use dd on Oneiric or Precise ISOs | 22:23 |
| W4sp | popsch: The second part of your question would be to prevent Skype et. al. to modify (and subsequently screw up) the settings again. I would chmod and chown the config files, requireing root.root to amend those. | 22:23 |
| eamon111 | ActionParsnip: where could I get a "Precise ISO"? I only have access to windows at the moment. | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !torrents | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Precise can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/desktop/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/precise/server/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 | 22:24 |
| popsch | W4sp, chown won't work, because Skype modifies the setting through the API and not through the config files | 22:25 |
| W4sp | popsch: You parents would need to sudo though. | 22:25 |
| thomas___ | part | 22:25 |
| eamon111 | ActionParsnip: Precise == 12.04? I have a 12.04 iso. How do I make it into a live USB? | 22:25 |
| W4sp | popsch: That'll be a hack to remove the SUID flags, something I do not wont to suggest on this channel to be honest. | 22:26 |
| eccezziunalveram | what are the minimum requirements for ubuntu? | 22:27 |
| jiffe98 | thats easy enough to google I think | 22:28 |
| === smw_ is now known as smw_work | ||
| popsch | W4sp, skype doesn't run with SUID | 22:28 |
| n2deep | eamon111: see http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 22:29 |
| W4sp | popsch: Well then, that's good news. It will be the pacmd/pactl then? | 22:30 |
| eamon111 | n2deep: that needs admin rights too | 22:30 |
| n2deep | eamon111: or apt-get install unetbootin | 22:30 |
| popsch | W4sp, I'll look into it. pacmd and pactl are already a good start. I can simply periodically load a working configuration as a workaround | 22:30 |
| n2deep | eamon111: yes, you would need to run that on a computer you have admin rights on. | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | eamon111: you can use dd or install unetbootin and use that, be sure you MD5 test the ISO | 22:30 |
| eamon111 | n2deep: I only have windows at the moment. And no admin access. | 22:31 |
| n2deep | eamon111: do you have any access to another computer? | 22:32 |
| W4sp | popsch: That'll be awkward for them. They would only know soemthing went wrong once the can't hear anything is Skype. :-( | 22:32 |
| n2deep | eamon111: a computer that you have admin access on? | 22:32 |
| eamon111 | n2deep: No. | 22:32 |
| eamon111 | n2deep: They're all broken :-/ | 22:33 |
| n2deep | eamon111: ouch. with a $20 adapter cable you can turn any internal CD-RW drive into an external USB drive. | 22:33 |
| n2deep | eamon111: then you can boot from a CD-R with Ubuntu on it. | 22:34 |
| n2deep | eamon111: but you have no CD-drive anywhere I presume | 22:34 |
| n2deep | eamon111: unless one of the "broken" machines has a cd drive that still works. | 22:35 |
| W4sp | popsch: I understand however, that you get the idea, including chown/chmod, the scripts and the menu item integration into their wm. It will require some fiddling though as the mixer controls and Skype will normally be run by the same user. An undiscovered area is how SKype and others will respond should those programs no longer have full access rights to the hardware. | 22:35 |

| popsch | W4sp, well, I just SUID /bin/bash (not seriously ;) | 22:38 |
| n2deep | eoss: have you take the daemon out of classic mode? | 22:38 |
| n2deep | eoss: have you enabled remote connections to the daemon? | 22:39 |

| levis | hi, is there any repo for updated chromium versions? I've one, but the last is 18.x, now there is 21.x | 22:40 |
| n2deep | eoss: this will require you to setup an auth file in ~/.config/deluge/auth | 22:40 |
| eoss | n2deep: no because the machine running the gui needs the proxy | 22:41 |
| eamon111 | n2deep: I found an external drive and I'm burning an iso as I type this :) | 22:41 |
| n2deep | eamon111: great to hear!! | 22:41 |

| n2deep | but beware, sometimes the cables they ship with the power supplies are bad. | 22:42 |
| trism | levis: 12.10 has 20 as does the webapps preview ppa, though if you really want to stay updated, probably better to use chrome for now until someone starts working full time on chromium in ubuntu again | 22:42 |
| n2deep | the power supplies themselves are just fine though. | 22:42 |
| n2deep | eoss: yeah that makes sense, sorry | 22:43 |
| levis | trism: oh, so no one is taking care of chromium :-/ I'd prefer chromium than chrome.. | 22:43 |

| slayer101_ | levis:you didnt have to do anything fancy when installing right? | 22:46 |
| Beltechs | i tried to set chown -R but still is blocked | 22:46 |
| levis | slayer101_: nope | 22:46 |
| slayer101_ | levis: Nice, ill have to look into some ssd's then.. hopefully they getting cheaper. | 22:47 |
| Beltechs | I can see the dir when i ls but when I try to go into the dir it says it doesnt exist what am i doing wrong? | 22:47 |
| levis | slayer101_: yeah, they're decreasing the price, but in my experience it's completely worth the price.. everything is much faster (also when developing and managing a lot of files) | 22:48 |
| popsch | W4sp, don't worry, I won't neither suid the shell nor give up. they use stock ubuntu, and I'll make them two nice little scripts with big buttons on the desktop to reset the audio system. thanks for the pointers to pactl and pamd | 22:49 |
| levis | slayer101_: the only cons.... after ~1 year it died...... I don't know if because a bad custom kernel update I did or the reason.... fortunately I had everything on dropbox, owncloud and github, so I lost just few temp files... but as they were temp I didn't care a lot | 22:49 |
| slayer101_ | levis: Wow, I heard about ssd's crashing.. Their supposed to be getting more stable tho :S | 22:51 |
| levis | yeah, I hope so... btw ocz has been very fast, after a couple of week (time to send it to NL and receive it from taiwan) I got a new one back... in the meantime I got back to my old 7200rpm...it was like hell :-) | 22:52 |
