[00:00] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: without broadcast i don't see internet close ;)
[00:00] <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)
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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?
[00:05] <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...
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: and can other systems ping the IP you are defining via IP?
[00:08] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i'd assume so...
[00:09] <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)
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <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
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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?
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <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 ;)
[00:18] <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] <DrakeH> Anyhow, big big thanks. I am going to reboot the machine and see how it goes :)
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> aLeSD__: run:  sudo apt-get clean    when they are installed
[00:24] <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
[00:25] <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
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, i was doing something and my girlfriend killed my attention span with DamnLoL links  what were we talking about?
[00:29] <chen_> hello
[00:33] <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
[00:35] <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?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: indeed :)
[00:37] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: thanks ;)  [just confirming]
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: no bad thing
[00:37] <DrakeH> So much to learn, wish I had mad command line skills
[00:38] <Lil> DrakeH, It's never to late to learn.. =)
[00:38] <DrakeH> learning every day
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: you'll learn with time
[00:38] <DrakeH> only started using linux a few months ago on a daily basis so I'm still in my newbie stages
[00:39] <blackshirt> drakeh, welcome to linux world
[00:40] <DrakeH> usually I have a gui to fall back on when I'm using my desktop, but working with a server is tougher as you dont have anywhere to run when it's not working haha
[00:40] <zykotick9> blackshirt: that's "gnu/linux world" ;)
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: once you get the server sorted, it doesn't need much maintaining :)
[00:40] <zykotick9> blackshirt: this isn't android :p
[00:41] <blackshirt> zykotick9, thanks... a lot of part of world uses linux as a basis...
[00:41] <altin> My flash player is lagging so much in firefox when I play videos on yt or anywhere !!
[00:41] <DrakeH> nah I am fine setting up nginx or apache or w/e for my web stuff, but internal stuff such as IFs etc is all new to me
[00:41] <altin> anyone familiar with this issue ?
[00:43] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip,  thats fine it was apt-fast other than that no worries.
[00:43] <blackshirt> altin, flash was f***k
[00:43] <DrakeH> ActionParsnip: yep, it's all good now, server rebooted with internet conneciton
[00:43] <DrakeH> thanks so much :-) ... would have been struggling for hours without that help, I'm sure :p
[00:43] <zykotick9> altin: flash does poorly on gnu/linux (always has).  use youtube.com/html5 for an alternative.
[00:44] <DrakeH> flash does poorly on all systems these days :)
[00:45] <zykotick9> DrakeH: +1
[00:45] <DrakeH> cant believe I was actually still developing flash apps 2 years ago
[00:46] <zykotick9> DrakeH: you don't have to admit everything ;)
[00:46] <DrakeH> well, flash used to be cool, lol!
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> DrakeH: not here
[00:47] <DrakeH> obviously not :D
[00:47] <zykotick9> DrakeH: disco "used to be cool"
[00:47] <DrakeH> was it actually possible to develop flash apps on linux, since adobe offers no support to linux systems :p
[00:48] <DrakeH> well no support for their applications atleast, the flash container is one thing
[00:48] <altin> zykotick9: thanks, that helped
[00:49] <zykotick9> DrakeH: s/"adobe offers no support to linux"/"adobe offers limited-to-no support to gnu/linux"/
[00:49] <DrakeH> yeah yeah
[00:49] <zykotick9> altin: glad to help
[00:50] <thepumpkin> anybody has experience with lxc(linux containers)? I'm setting network.ipv4 in the config file but is not being used by container until the second container reboot.
[00:50] <thepumpkin> any ideas?
[00:50] <thepumpkin> thanks in advance.
[00:51] <zykotick9> thepumpkin: what are "containers" in your definition?  or lxc?'
[00:51] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: yeah, the container in /var/lib/lxc
[00:51] <blackshirt> linux container...you should read it zykotick9
[00:52] <zykotick9> blackshirt: http://lxc.sourceforge.net/ thanks.
[00:52] <blackshirt> That was in kernel solution for lighweight virtualization
[00:53] <zykotick9> blackshirt: kvm ftw ;)
[00:53] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: I have a linux container called created with the ubuntu template, the config file has lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.0.3.10/24 but that IP is not being leased by dnsmasq until the second reboot of the linux container.
[00:53] <thepumpkin> I have to do lxc-stop and lxc-start again so it holds the IP.
[00:53] <thepumpkin> any ideas?
[00:53] <zykotick9> thepumpkin: sorry - i don't know anything about it.  good luck (i won't see anymore of your messages)
[00:54] <thepumpkin> zykotick9: np. thanks.
[00:54] <blackshirt> thepumpkin : i have ply bit a little..but no deep on them
[00:54] <thepumpkin> blackshirt: this happens only in EC2, locally it works just fine.
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> My computer just f*cked itself
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> My keyboard layout reverted to qwerty, the icons on the left are enourmous again, guake didn't run on startup, and it started really slowly
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> Any help?
[00:55] <dwarder> DFrostedWang: put this on porntube :P
[00:55] <DFrostedWang> LOL
[00:56] <blackshirt> thepumpkin, sorry, i don't know exactly..but maybe you can analyze your log
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: is it ok in unity2D session?
[00:57] <DFrostedWang> IDK
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: then find out.....
[00:57] <DFrostedWang> How?
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: log off, select nity 2D under the ubuntu icon near your username and then log in.
[00:58] <DFrostedWang> kk
[00:58] <DFrostedWang> BBIAS
[00:58]  * DFrostedWang has to logout. BBIAS
[00:59] <cution> that's why i like to irc with screen i never have to close it ;(
[00:59] <zykotick9> cution: +1
[00:59] <aLusion> Hello I was wondering you know how there's a ton of programs you can download from the terminal, how can I preview such before downloading?
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Nope
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Exactly the same
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> Except my keyboard layout stayed Colemak this time, prolly 'cause I used setxkbmap
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> DFrostedWang: if you make a fresh user and log in, is it ok there?
[01:00] <escott> aLusion, preview? there isn't really such a thing. if you want screenshots check the programs website
[01:00] <DFrostedWang> I don't understand how that would help
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> My customizations are gone
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> It's normal
[01:01] <DFrostedWang> The icons are huge and my keyboard layout isn't right
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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] <aLusion> I'm lonely, where can I download some friends?
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> My channel
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> #porn-support
[01:02] <DFrostedWang> :D
[01:08] <Jagst3r15> dangit, I installed this PPA and purged it, but now I cannot add Rhythmbox again because I have broken packages? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126248/
[01:10] <aLusion> Does this channel support KDE related questions as well for ubuntu related distros
[01:10] <IdleOne> aLusion: sure
[01:12] <aLusion> I want to know information on desktop customization / workspaces in KDE. How do I set up seperate desktops with unique icons? Right now the icons translate on every workspace, so should I configure my icons/widgets in relation to activities ?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Jagst3r15: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:17] <Jagst3r15> precise, ActionParsni[
[01:18] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip*
[01:18] <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.
[01:18] <theadmin> Oops
[01:18] <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?
[01:19] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip,  what was the burning software you mentioned not the wodim the other one.
[01:20] <Jagst3r15> brb
[01:21] <chino> hola
[01:22] <chino> meayudan
[01:23] <abi__> bro
[01:26] <Riley24> i could use some help with avant on xfce for somereason it wigged out on me and i cant get it to restore to default settings
[01:28] <Riley24> is there a way to complety remove it and reinstall to default settings so far ive tried remove the ,config file in usr and use autoremove in terminal
[01:28] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip how do I properly purge this ppa? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/rhythmbox
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: xfburn is what I use (rarely mind)
[01:29] <Jagst3r15> I cannot install rhythmbox 2.96 because I did not properly remove 2.97ppa so I just reinstalled the 2.97 ppa
[01:29] <Riley24> but when i reinstall it just goes back to the way it was before
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Jagst3r15: you will need to remove rhythmnbox with the PPA added, then remove the ppa then install rhythmnbox
[01:29] <xangua> !ppa-purge | Jagst3r15
[01:30] <Jagst3r15> ActionParsnip so remove it from by clicking remove in the USC then purge the PPA?
[01:32] <Prez00> hello
[01:32] <mummy2458> hi
[01:33] <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?
[01:34] <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.
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <Raptor> edit your connections
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <jagginess> nikolas_, so?
[01:38] <nikolas_> in my system monitor swap is not available
[01:39] <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.
[01:40] <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] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | Bam_Bam
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <jagginess> Ben64, that would make more sense..
[01:43]  * ActionParsnip always clean installs :)
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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 :/
[01:45] <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

[01:46] <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"?
[01:47] <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.
[01:48] <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
[01:50] <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] <tightwork> terrible

[02:01] <ns_nazri> hi
[02:02] <C3R0V3G4> hello
[02:04] <thepumpkin> blackshirt: solved my issue. I switched to static ip addresses, just modifing rootfs's interfaces file before launching the container.
[02:07] <ejcweb> Is there a command line program to capture a webcam image? I'm looking for an equivalent to imagesnap which is used on Mac.
[02:08] <C3R0V3G4> im not sure...i use [FN]+PrntScrn
[02:09] <ghostchick> ejecweb scrot
[02:09] <C3R0V3G4> i'll look
[02:10] <nikolas_> hi again,sorry i had a disconnection. any other ideas about my situation?
[02:10] <wifioregon> Since you can't have the Google Toolbar in Ubuntu, is there an alternative?  ALL I need it to do is give the Google PR (page rank) of the current site I'm on.  (Would also be nice if it had mozrank as well)
[02:12] <ns_nazri> you won using in browser firefox
[02:15] <wifioregon> ns_nazri:  actually I just found my answer. SEOmoz has amazing SEO toolbars and tools and a lot of them also give Google PR. Thanks though :-)
[02:15] <usr13> nikolas_: What is your situation?
[02:17] <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.
[02:18] <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] <usr13> Platypus-Man: What?
[02:19] <Prez00> and it still brings up dialog with wifi passphrase (already in there) and I have to press connect
[02:19] <usr13> Platypus-Man: You've set up samba to share your drives?
[02:19] <Prez00> The connect automatically box is checked in network manager wireless connection for my network
[02:19] <Prez00> and it still brings up dialog with wifi passphrase (already in there) and I have to press connect
[02:19] <Prez00> is there some other setting I need to look at?
[02:19] <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?
[02:20] <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?
[02:21] <nikolas_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2036790
[02:21] <usr13> Platypus-Man: What do you mean "the first folder in the drives"?
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <Platypus-Man> usr13: so to have any shared folder at all, I need to share my whole home directory?
[02:23] <nikolas_> :(
[02:23] <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.
[02:24] <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
[02:25] <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.
[02:27] <usr13> Platypus-Man: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:27] <usr13> ... and send resulting URL
[02:28] <Platypus-Man> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126326/
[02:29] <Platypus-Man> I have only tested using one of the media drives, I did not use my home folder (or any files and folders on that drive at all) when testing
[02:30] <Platypus-Man> but looking at that file, I think I need to do now... thanks
[02:30] <ozzloy> http://pastie.org/4381397 i'm in a funky state.  i'm trying to install libtisch for my kinet, but it won't install because it conflits with the executable "slideshow" from racket, and i can't uninstall racket because the libtisch installation isn't finished
[02:31] <ozzloy> how do i get libtisch installed now?
[02:31] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Yep, you shared your home folder.    Now, what do you really want to share?
[02:32] <usr13> Platypus-Man: See lines 342-347 ?
[02:33] <Platypus-Man> usr13: I only want to share the other drives connected to it, and I have done so successfully... thanks for your help
[02:33] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Suggestion, create a folder, like maybe "Videos".  Then just share /home/platypus/Videos
[02:33] <randomusr_> could use some advice/help setting up an imaging server with PXE Boot capabilities for the clients.
[02:34] <usr13> Platypus-Man:  What you did instead is to share your entire home directory.
[02:34] <L3top> Platypus-Man: Your system is unsupported here. Back in your cage. You cannot make manual changes. The system does not work that way.
[02:34] <Platypus-Man> usr13: I'm running Ubuntu as a NAS, booting from a USB thumbdrive, and only share the 10 internal drives on it
[02:34] <L3top> !linuxmce
[02:35] <usr13> Platypus-Man: That is now what your smb.conf file says.
[02:35] <Platypus-Man> L3top: as good as LinuxMCE is, I don't trust it to handle my media directly... NAS is the way to go... Ubuntu confirmed for best pony, I mean... NAS
[02:36] <L3top> Carry on.
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Platypus-Man: linuxmce isn't supported here
[02:36] <Platypus-Man> ActionParsnip: I know, I haven't asked for any LMCE-support questions
[02:36] <L3top> Just dont make changes to the core. ActionParsnip he is trying to create an Ubuntu based NAS it appears. I just jumped him cause I didnt understand what he was doing here.
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Platypus-Man: sweet
[02:37] <Platypus-Man> usr13: removing and chanign a few lines in the conf resolved it, thanks
[02:37] <usr13> Platypus-Man: Okeydokey
[02:38] <Platypus-Man> ah well.. I'm gonna go back to where I belong now (being L3top's <explicit deleted>)
[02:38] <randomusr_> how do I set up an imaging server with PXE capability?
[02:46] <randomusr_> how do I set up an imaging server with PXE capability?
[02:47] <John> Do you mean EXE capability?
[02:47] <John> Use Wine
[02:48] <L3top> PXE
[02:48] <L3top> Network boot. Slim client.
[02:48] <John> oh
[02:48] <John> like bios
[02:48] <John> you need to update your motherboard
[02:48] <John> or maybe it was your graphics card
[02:48] <John> hold on
[02:49] <L3top> No... you turn on your machine and boot to the network... no hard drive.
[02:49] <L3top> Setting up a pxe server is a bit involved. Probably best asked in #ubuntu-server randomusr_.
[02:49] <logiblocs> why does the description say ubottu.com
[02:50] <OerHeks> this howto is a bit old, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro
[02:51] <logiblocs> anyone?
[02:51] <John> L3top
[02:51] <John> You need to update your motherboard and graphics card
[02:51] <L3top> logiblocs: what description... where
[02:51] <trism> logiblocs: it is just a url shortener
[02:51] <trism> logiblocs: first one goes to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[02:52] <L3top> John... that is not correct. To boot to network you can change the boot order in bios, though most have an fkey you can press to netboot.
[02:52] <randomusr_> L3top, that sounds like french for, "I have no clue"
[02:52] <logiblocs> for the channel - im using the web client and the links are given as ubottu.com/y/dl
[02:53] <L3top> They system I develop on has one core and all else is pxe boot. It is french for, I dont want to spend the time explaining. Follow OerHeks link.
[02:53] <John> L3top, you wanted to know how to update your bios right
[02:54] <L3top> No John. I appreciate your enthusiasm to help though :)
[02:54] <John> oh
[02:54] <John> alright
[02:54] <John> what do you need help with
[02:54] <L3top> I am here to offer support. That is all.
[02:55] <John> oh
[02:55] <John> alright
[03:07] <John> bump
[03:08] <L3top> randomusr_: if you run into trouble after having absorbed the basics during setup, I am happy to help btw. Just not willing to start from scratch.

[03:11] <ActionParsnip> [Toto]: try:  sudo service    then press TAB a few times, see what you got
[03:11] <jrib> [Toto]: did you ever create firewall rules?  « sudo iptables -L » will list them
[03:12] <[Toto]>  telnet 127.0.0.1 143
[03:12] <[Toto]> Trying 127.0.0.1...

[03:12] <[Toto]> http://pastie.org/4381603
[03:13] <jrib> [Toto]: you have no firewall rules.
[03:13] <[Toto]> and then whats could be the problem with the ports
[03:13] <usr13> jrib: What is he trying to do?
[03:13] <jrib> [Toto]: probably misconfigured application
[03:14] <jrib> usr13: I have no idea
[03:14] <trakinas> night. all!
[03:16] <trakinas> chrome 20 is not listing pepper as a flash plugin, rather, it is using "libflashplayer.so". How can I set it to use pepper? with the current plugin I cannot play any kind of flash
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: uninstall the flash packages you have installed may help
[03:17] <usr13> trakinas: I dono.  I use firefox, not chrome
[03:18] <trakinas> usr13: Im having the same problem on FF, so Im trying with Chrome and its built-in flash
[03:18] <usr13> trakinas: Well, it's not the browser, it's the flashplayer so...
[03:18] <L3top> trakinas: you will need to create a symlink. Chances are within the chrome subdir there is a symlink to something that symlinks to libflashplayer.so. Interrupt it there.
[03:18] <trakinas> L3top: good one. let me check that.

[03:21] <trakinas> thanks, anyway.
[03:22] <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?
[03:23] <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?
[03:24] <schultza> nevermind.. ill look online ...
[03:25] <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?
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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] <DJRWolf> annoyance*
[03:27] <OerHeks> 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04
[03:29] <the4tress> how can i make it so i can access www.the4tress.net (external server) when my local DNS domain is also the4tress.net? i only want to forward www.the4tress.net to an external IP
[03:29] <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]  * L3top agrees with trakinas
[03:30] <trakinas> the4tress: Im not sure if that is possible. but I may be really wrong.
[03:30] <usr13> DJRWolf: You should have waited and upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04.  You must have manually changed from LTS to next release.  Right?
[03:30] <the4tress> trakinas, i was able to do in in Windows Server 2008 using a conditional forwarder, is that something that i can do in Linux?
[03:31] <escapeplan> How do I untar tintwizard using the terminal ?
[03:31] <usr13> DJRWolf: And now, you are on a version that reached EOL  3 months ago
[03:31] <trakinas> the4tress: if you say you can do that in win2008, you can do that on windows. my ignorance, though, cant let me help you.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-rar p7zip-full unp
[03:32] <base> Hey just wanted to say unity blows.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: then simply run:  unp filename.rar
[03:32] <usr13> DJRWolf: And I hope it is fully updated because an upgrade may not work well if it's not.
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> base: woop
[03:32] <trakinas> escapeplan: tar -xzf the_dam_file.tar.gz
[03:32] <DJRWolf> I plan on formatting the linux partition and installing from a thumb drive
[03:32] <trakinas> escapeplan: tar -xjf the_dam_file.tar.bzip2
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> base: if we all came in and wrote what we all think blows, the channel would be unusable
[03:32] <DJRWolf> or do I need to do 11.04 and 11.10 first?
[03:32] <trakinas> you can add an 'v' before the 'f' for verbose mode
[03:33] <KAPITALISMUSS> steam blows
[03:33] <L3top> DJRWolf: <OerHeks> 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04
[03:33] <trakinas> baloons blows.
[03:34] <base> Understood. I will refrain from any further statements. Unity blows.
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> base: you don't have to use it
[03:34] <DJRWolf> so I can't just format the linux partition and install 12.04?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: it's a rar file
[03:34] <usr13> base: What makes you think we are interested in seeing you say the same thing over and over?
[03:34] <usr13> DJRWolf: Sure you can.
[03:34] <hwkiller-netbook> Because he's *attempting* to troll.
[03:35] <hwkiller-netbook> Unfortunately, he's poor at it.
[03:35] <KAPITALISMUSS> ~i thought "blows" as a good thing
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> base: just install a different shell, or even a different DE and it won't run. Or clean install Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu and it won't even be installed.
[03:35] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: being that valve has admitted linux runs faster... http://www.geekosystem.com/valve-games-run-faster-linux/      I am quite fond of it lately.
[03:35] <trakinas> I see. so, escapeplan, use unrar/unrar-nonfree x filename.rar
[03:36] <L3top> DJRWolf: that is the ideal situation.
[03:36] <GateCrasher> Hi, would someone be able to help me? I am trying to burn 12.04 to a CD, but the iso size ends up being bigger than what a CD-R can hold. Any advice?
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> GateCrasher: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[03:36] <L3top> GateCrasher: that does not make sense... please check the md5sum.
[03:37] <KAPITALISMUSS> zombie tux is faster that zombie butter flies
[03:37] <L3top> !md5sum
[03:37] <L3top> !ot | KAPITALISMUSS
[03:37] <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?
[03:38] <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.
[03:39] <trakinas> KAPITALISMUSS: if you are not being sarcastic, ! indicates a bot command.
[03:39] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: this tells the bot to spit factoids
[03:39] <L3top> usr13: I don't... it should be self evident if he does.
[03:39] <usr13> ... just FYI...
[03:40] <DJRWolf> backup of userdata in /home already done, but always good to remind :)
[03:40] <KAPITALISMUSS> !top
[03:40] <L3top> usr13: I mean only that that doesn't happen by accident or automation. I didn't think explaining that if you had purposefully set a separate partition with home on it, that you would follow that advice, as it would have been done for this purpose.
[03:41] <DJRWolf> ok, well, I'll still be in here on my laptop if things go south, time to go try it out (roll's 2D20)
[03:41] <L3top> !botabuse > KAPITALISMUSS
[03:41] <the4tress> if i add an A record to my dns zone for www, will it forward to a WAN IP?
[03:41] <usr13> L3top: But it can be done after the fact as well.
[03:41] <KAPITALISMUSS> the bot is typing from Newark
[03:41] <L3top> I dont understand usr13.
[03:42] <usr13> L3top: ... in preparation for a distribution upgrade.
[03:42] <L3top> KAPITALISMUSS: Do you have a support question?
[03:42] <the4tress> so if i do www             IN      A       74.220.219.109
[03:42] <the4tress> , will it forward to that internet ip?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> escapeplan: all ok now?
[03:42] <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.
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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?
[03:45] <usr13> the4tress: You have a caching name server running?  Why isn't it on your router?
[03:45] <the4tress> usr13, how do i know if i have a nameserver? would i have set that up in /etc/bind/named.conf?
[03:45] <[Toto]> 111 : Connection refused IMAP hmm

[03:46] <the4tress> argh!

[03:48] <the4tress> trakinas, so i should be able to ping server.the4tress.net (my local server) and get a result, but i get unknown host

[03:50] <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?
[03:51] <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...
[03:53] <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
[03:55] <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.

[03:56] <dikim33> Hi, can anyone please tell me how to start "port map-wait" service?
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <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.
[03:59] <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?
[04:00] <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] <dikim33> L3top: it is a part of NFS program. I don't know what POS means here.
[04:01] <L3top> (POS = Point Of Sale... not the other acronym) IE restaurant/cashier software.)
[04:02] <dikim33> L3top: thanks.
[04:05] <wolfric> what software handles network configuration on install of ubuntu?

[04:05] <meadhikari> hi all, is there any easy solution to equally distribute bandwidth among all the connected IPs
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> meadhikari: could setup a trickle server

[04:11] <trakinas> chrome, definitely, decided not to load its own built-in flash.
[04:12] <trakinas> Ive removed every other flash package and checked if there were any missing/broken link. ]
[04:12] <trakinas> any suggestion?
[04:14] <DJRWolf> reboot after install and error, "grub_divmod64_full" and on grub rescue prompet, I think I saw something about grub going onto the 500gb HDD when the 320gb is the drive with the OS's on it
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> trakinas: is it chome or chromium?
[04:16] <trakinas> AcidRain2012: Chrome. (google-chrome-stable)

[04:17] <njr> Hi, On my toshiba satellite L655, If  I log in when a USB keyboard is connectected and Dual monitors are setup, XOrg gets messed up: the desktop brackgound shows up, but tiled accross the screens. This did not happen on 11.10
[04:18] <njr> Any idea what the problem could be?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> njr: are there bugs reported?
[04:20] <DJRWolf> just finished reading forum thread, should I try to purge and reinstall grub?
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: you can do it from liveCD: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: you can also update the OS in the chroot as well, dead handy
[04:22] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip thanks

[04:25] <Xbilprl> hi
[04:25] <arooni-mobile> where i do need to put my generated ssl keys?  in /etc/ssl?  (for nginx)
[04:25] <njr>  ActionParsnip: not that I'm aware of. I'll file one now
[04:29] <drape> any cgroup experts around?  i've been using libcgroup, etc for a while w/11.04 without any issues but 12.04 is giving me grief.  ie: after mounting a cpu cgroup, then creating a new container i can't change any of the params... echo 256 > container/cpu.shares fails w/permission denied.  any ideas?
[04:30] <L3top> drape: I would try sudo... truth be told having no idea what you are doing... permission denied should be solved with sudo.
[04:32] <drape> L3top: yea, tried that :)
[04:33] <L3top> drape: container/ assumes that you are in the directory where the container/cpu.shares file exists
[04:35] <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
[04:36] <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?
[04:37] <L3top> darnit drape... ActionParsnip is correct again. I keep forgetting that.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> L3top: yeah the whole redirect not liking sudo is annoying
[04:38] <drape> whoa
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> drape: you can run:  sudo -i   first, then the command as you expect and it will work as both halves run as root
[04:41] <MaskedStan> hello
[04:41] <MaskedStan> what is ubuntu
[04:42] <MaskedStan> hello
[04:42] <BluesKaj> !ubuntu | MaskedStan
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> !ubuntu
[04:43] <MaskedStan> sounds cool
[04:43] <MaskedStan> is it better than windows 7?
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> MaskedStan: depends on situation, sometimes yes, sometimes no
[04:45] <BluesKaj> MaskedStan, better is a relative word , you have to decide , obviously we here like it's benefits
[04:45] <DJRWolf> ActionParsnip that video looks like it is for single boot ubuntu, for my dual boot do I have it put grub on my windows or linux partition? also since it is a freash install, would reinstalling ubuntu and selecting the correct drive to put grub on fix this problem easier?
[04:45] <MaskedStan> what are the benefits?
[04:46] <drape> thx for the help ActionParsnip, L3top.
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: did you instal with wubi?
[04:46] <MaskedStan> is it for hackers?
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> MaskedStan: there are network tools for any OS
[04:47] <BluesKaj> my advice is to try the live -cd and find out for yourself , MaskedStan , no it's not a hacker OS
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <arooni-mobile> i'm seeing "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" after following a guide on slicehost.  i generated a ssl cert with startssl... not sure what i need to check next.  nginx and ubuntu 10.04
[04:50] <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)
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> DJRWolf: once you get chrooted, you can run the grub install using and drive you like
[04:54] <DJRWolf> ok, thanks
[04:57] <howdy> hello. have i connected proprerly?
[04:58] <L3top> To irc... yes howdy
[04:58] <lodder> is it possible to debug a init script? I always get a fail while launching the sabnzbdplus init.d script even with root chuid
[04:58] <howdy> cool. thanks.
[04:59] <serdotlin> hi i'm using lubuntu with compiz and emerald, but the run dialog box didn't show up after pressing alt+f2?
[04:59] <L3top> lodder: I would need more information. Please post the error.
[04:59] <L3top> serdotlin: what version? lsb_release -sc
[05:00] <serdotlin> l3top: 12.04
[05:00] <lodder> L3top: nevermind
[05:00] <serdotlin> L3top:12.04 precise
[05:02] <L3top> serdotlin: I don't believe emerald exists in 1204... how did you install?
[05:02] <L3top> !find emerald
[05:02] <howdy> can i ask questions about ubuntu 10 and 12 in here?
[05:03] <L3top> serdotlin: give me the exact output of lsb_release -a
[05:03] <sergiu-dev> wat is the most  lightweight linux desk
[05:03] <sergiu-dev>  lightweight DE
[05:03] <gry> lxde
[05:04] <L3top> howdy: you can ask a question about any supported distro in here
[05:04] <gry> sergiu-dev: xfce is another light one although statistics shows it's slightly slower
[05:04] <serdotlin> L3top: No LSB modules are available.
[05:04] <serdotlin> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[05:04] <serdotlin> Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[05:04] <serdotlin> Release:	12.04
[05:04] <serdotlin> Codename:	precise
[05:04] <sergiu-dev> xfce is like windows xp?
[05:04] <FloodBot1> serdotlin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:04] <sergiu-dev> :)
[05:04] <howdy> oh cool. thanks. just making sure im in the right room : )
[05:04] <L3top> serdotlin: lubuntu would be the lightest weight. xubuntu would be close
[05:05] <sergiu-dev> !ping
[05:05] <serdotlin> L3top: i'm already using Lubuntu 12.04...yeah tried Xubuntu, but lubuntu much more lighter...
[05:05] <gry> sergiu-dev: all the des have some similarity to windows, you'd probably want to try a few to see which feels more like what you used in windows.. they're all just a few tens of megabytes or something, fairly easy to install imo
[05:06] <sergiu-dev> gry, no , i meant if it's  lightweight like xp
[05:06] <L3top> There is something even lighter... but... if lsb_release -a does not produce a result... you are on something else.
[05:06] <gry> sergiu-dev: 'xubuntu-desktop' or 'lubuntu-desktop' or 'kubuntu-desktop' (the latter is kubuntu - the ubuntu flavour with kde)
[05:06] <howdy> is it a straight forward process to dual boot ubuntu 10 with 12 with each being given its own hard drive? can someone steer to a helpful link? pls : )
[05:06] <L3top> sergiu-dev: xp is not lightweight.
[05:07] <gry> sergiu-dev: I'd say the default ubuntu is more lightweight already (i.e. with gnome)
[05:07] <sergiu-dev> the default ubuntu, is like windows 7
[05:07] <sergiu-dev> :)
[05:07] <NullCity> I need help!
[05:07] <L3top> howdy: there is 10.04 and 10.10. the latter no longer supported... and 12.04 and 12.10.
[05:07] <NullCity> Can somebody help me with a problem I just recently made?
[05:07] <NullCity> I decided to convert jre-7u5-linux.rpm into a .deb file using alien
[05:07] <NullCity> Once i installed it
[05:08] <NullCity> E: The package jre needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[05:08] <L3top> sergiu-dev: there are heaps of desktop environments (DEs)
[05:08] <gry> sergiu-dev: mind I didn't see a fresh xp install in  a lon g time, so my view may be slightly inaccurate - especially as it differs for different hardware; as mentioned earlier, trying a few starting with xfce and lxde could be a good plan
[05:08] <NullCity> Now  my whole Debian index system is broken and I have the package file!!!
[05:08] <howdy> thanks L3top. if i need to use ubuntu 10. would i be better off using ubuntu 10.04 instead of 10.10?

[05:10] <NullCity> Sorry its just im so scared right now as I know what I was doing when using alien to convert a java 7 rpm file to a deb file
[05:10] <NullCity> But now i dont know
[05:10] <sergiu-dev> There isn't some DVD with all K,X,U distro on one DVD to download?
[05:10] <serdotlin> is there any workaround to get alt+f2 run dialog box working under lubuntu compiz+emerald?
[05:10] <NullCity> Eversince my pacakge index broke
[05:10] <NullCity> serdotlin: Whats yuor ubuntu version?
[05:10] <DJRWolf> 10.04 has 2 different support dates, desktop April 2013, server April 2015

[05:11] <L3top> !patience | NullCity
[05:11] <sergiu-dev> To not make 3 CDs
[05:11] <NullCity> If its GNOME 2+ Then you should be able to use the run dialog by pressing Alt + F2
[05:11] <sergiu-dev> Is there A DVD with all edition of ubuntu for possible to witch one to install
[05:11] <DJRWolf> they unified the support for 12.04, both get 5 years instead of just the server

[05:11] <L3top> !rpm | NullCity
[05:11] <howdy> L3top. yeah right. thats ok. it just that i have a 10.10 distro i was given years ago. and i have downloaded 12.
[05:12] <NullCity> Ben64: I've been trying to
[05:12] <NullCity> Ben64: I have the package file still but it claims that it cant find the package file to remove it
[05:12] <Ben64> jre is available in the repositories
[05:12] <NullCity> Not the Java 7 one
[05:12] <serdotlin> NullCity: lubuntu 12.04....on openbox it's working, but when switch to compiz, didn't work...
[05:12] <Ben64> java 7 is available from oracle
[05:13] <L3top> There is no java 7 package for 1204.
[05:13] <NullCity> serdotlin: try to check if works with other window managers like metacity mutter openbox emerald, and other ones
[05:13] <NullCity> Ben64: I got it from java.com
[05:13] <Ben64> don't need package for java 7
[05:13] <NullCity> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
[05:13] <kyle__> Hum.  There's a package I want to install that shows up on ubuntu site, but doesn't show in my apt-cache.
[05:13] <L3top> NullCity: you will have to download it from oracle
[05:13] <Ben64> can just unpack and use locally
[05:13] <NullCity> But I want to fix my debian package system first
[05:13] <kyle__> Can someone else with 12.04 try and apt-cache search shogun for me, and tell me if they see a shogun-octave package?
[05:13] <NullCity> sudo apt-get install -f hasn't worked since it wasn't able to find it
[05:13] <L3top> what package kyle__
[05:14] <kyle__> I'm trying to figure out if it's ubuntu or just my laptop...
[05:14] <Sinusoidal> Hi I just installed ubuntu. I would like to become a pro master elite hacker at this thing, any tips?
[05:14] <kyle__> L3top: shogun-octave-modular
[05:14] <howdy> does anyone know of any links for harddrive and partitition setup for dual boot ubuntu?
[05:14] <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 <<<
[05:15] <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)
[05:16] <gry> !info shogun-octave-modular
[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] <bz> .lastlog hacker
[05:17] <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__
[05:18] <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?:)
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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?
[05:21] <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.
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <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! :)
[05:24] <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.
[05:25] <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 :)
[05:26] <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
[05:29] <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
[05:31] <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
[05:32] <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"
[05:33] <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?
[05:34] <NullCity> tfhlap: What sound server are you using?
[05:34] <tfhlap> NullCity how can I tell?
[05:34] <tfhlap> NullCity I think alsa
[05:35] <NullCity> tfhlap: Try doing running "cd /usr/bin" then "find pulseaudio"
[05:36] <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?
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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?;)
[05:40] <tMH> thanks in advance
[05:40] <tMH> text editor
[05:40] <tMH> under unix.
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <tMH> NullCity - will do, thanks!
[05:41] <NullCity> tMH: Your welcome.
[05:41] <NullCity> This feels like customer support chat for me somehow.
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <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?
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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?
[05:47] <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?
[05:48] <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.
[05:49] <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!
[05:50] <L3top> zwirc: those packages have nothing to do with what you installed.
[05:50] <tfhlap> L3top ywa
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <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/
[05:52] <L3top> tfhlap: what application are you trying to open these in that are not playing
[05:53] <NullCity> tMH: Well emacs is GUI-based so I think it might not fit your needs. might not.
[05:54] <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
[05:55] <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 ?
[05:56] <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?
[05:57] <ghostchick> tfhlap:  unmuted in alsamixer ?
[05:58] <tfhlap> ghostchick yeah... nothing looks muted in alsamixer
[05:59] <tfhlap> ghostchick sound was working fine, and then I was trying to increase the volume, and lost it
[05:59] <tfhlap> I'm not sure what happened
[05:59] <tfhlap> ghostchick is there a way to dump all sound configuration (and volumes ) in text, so I can show you?
[05:59] <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?
[06:00] <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?
[06:04] <philippe_> cpufreqd is not installed, is this normal ?
[06:05] <hwkiller-netbook> Hm, I assume the only reason that even exists is to set the /sys stuff
[06:06] <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
[06:07] <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
[06:08] <millun> btw do you know how to enable menu icons? for context stuff?
[06:09] <philippe_> why are all my opengl renderings limited to 60 fps
[06:10] <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
[06:11] <philippe_> is there any driver settings ? ( i use mesa)
[06:11] <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
[06:12] <philippe_> okay, my cpu frequency problem is fixed. I had to install for speedstep to work on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 x64 install : cpufreqd, cpufreq-utils and indicator-cpufreq
[06:13] <philippe_> i don,t even know why thoses arent automatically installed
[06:14] <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
[06:16] <philippe_> well i now have a beautiful cpu freq indicator
[06:16] <philippe_> i consider this problem solved
[06:16] <philippe_> thx for your help and suggestions
[06:16] <millun> hwkiller-netbook: i've googled on askubuntu that i should pick ubuntu2d while logging in
[06:16] <millun> gonna give it a try
[06:17] <philippe_> now, i must find out how to disable vsync
[06:18] <monktoo> If anyone is out there I would like to know how to install ubuntu from source. I want to merge concepts of gentoo and ubuntu
[06:19] <hwkiller-netbook> Oh lord... you don't.
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <hwkiller-netbook> whereas gentoo is. the package management IS source
[06:20] <nre> hello
[06:20] <cfhowlett> nre, greetings
[06:20] <nre> i want to work in some open source project ,what can i do?? cfhowlett
[06:21] <cfhowlett> !contribute
[06:21] <cfhowlett> !contribute|nre
[06:21] <monktoo> Ive never tried it but could you have two pagake managers
[06:21] <monktoo> like portage an apt
[06:22] <cfhowlett> monktoo, feasible but inadvisable
[06:23] <monktoo> I would like to have a package support of ubuntu with the security concept of gentoo
[06:23] <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
[06:24] <monktoo> chfholett, why wouldnt you use one for source and one for precompiled
[06:26] <cfhowlett> monktoo, as I said, feasible.  At present, all users have the option of using CLI for package management thus invoking apt
[06:26] <gouthu> i am fac ing problem with connecting 3 usb dongles simultaneously on ubuntu 12.04
[06:26] <gouthu> can anyone help?
[06:26] <cfhowlett> *and use Ubuntu software center as well*
[06:26] <monktoo> gouthu check your lsusb
[06:27] <monktoo> see if all three are really connected
[06:28] <gouthu> monktoo: I can do it graphically through the Network Manager, but I'd like to replicate the process on the command line.
[06:28] <monktoo> type in the CLI lsusb or sudo lsusb
[06:29] <magg> hello
[06:29] <aldebaran> <33 ubuntu. just started using it a few days ago
[06:29] <cfhowlett> magg, greetings
[06:29] <magg> i think ubuntu 12.04 is missing a package, libnl3.. how do i report it?
[06:30] <gouthu> monktoo: yeah, i did that.
[06:30] <gouthu> actually, i am able to do it successfully using the NM GUI
[06:31] <gouthu> monktoo: here is the full desciption of the problem im facing along with the errors i encountered.

[06:34] <sachael> anyone experiencing crashes of luakit?
[06:35] <sachael> it's my favorite minimalistic browser, but lately it's been very unstable :(
[06:35] <thaicares> s
[06:35] <thaicares> sachael  and what is that?
[06:37] <sachael> thaicares: I don't know what's the problem, im running luakit in a console right now, trying to catch a crash and see if something gets displayed i the console
[06:38] <thaicares> either way could someone inform me what program runs the mail envelope icon in the upper right hand corner ?
[06:38] <z3rongod> hi
[06:38] <hwkiller-netbook> probably evolution
[06:38] <gouthu> anyone knows how to connect multiple 3g modems from the command line?
[06:38] <thaicares> sachael sorry I couldn't help haven't done anything with it...
[06:39] <z3rongod> im trying to get testdisk, im suing ubuntu 12.04 on USB live, it gives me error: unable to locate package testdisk
[06:39] <thaicares> hwkiller-netbook evolution runs the envelope....
[06:39] <KatsumeBlisk> Thunderbird in Ubuntu thaicares
[06:39] <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.
[06:40] <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'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] <z3rongod> Why am i getting unable to locate package error?
[06:41] <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.
[06:42] <zwirc> anyone have a tip/solution?
[06:42] <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
[06:43] <hwkiller-netbook> Yeah, it's hard to use indicators in other distros because not many panels have implemented them.
[06:44] <hwkiller-netbook> unity is rather unique in its integration and heavy use of indicators and dbus
[06:45] <thaicares> hwkiller-netbook it is worth a look...
[06:45] <z3rongod> where is administration in UBUNTU 12.04 ?
[06:45] <z3rongod> i can't find software sources in using dashboard or system settings
[06:45] <z3rongod> dash home w/e
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> software sources is in the update manager
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> hit "settings"
[06:46] <hwkiller-netbook> (I think)
[06:47] <z3rongod> ugh
[06:48] <z3rongod> This computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining
[06:48] <CommaCrazy> hi all :), I have a bit of a problem, I am running ubuntu with postfix and I ran out of swap space and memory is low, is there a way to safely clean some of the swap or the memory so that I do not have to restart the machine, without losing any valuable info??? if some 1 could point me in the right direction..
[06:48] <z3rongod> And i'm using ubuntu live on flash drive with 2 GB of ram on the machine...
[06:50] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, might be time to clean house a bit. try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:51] <z3rongod> cfhowlett: reading package lists error
[06:51] <z3rongod> unable to sync mmap - msync no space left ond evice
[06:51] <CommaCrazy> is sync for freeing system buffy and echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches        safe to use on a production machine
[06:51] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, no saved documents or files on this flash drive?
[06:52] <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> also
[06:52] <z3rongod> when i booted, it wouldnt load and take ages to load
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <z3rongod> Use all 2 gigs?
[06:54] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, well, usb is slower than native boot ...
[06:54] <z3rongod> persistent data thing?
[06:54] <cfhowlett> z3rongod, yead, don't use that.
[06:54] <z3rongod> ok
[06:55] <z3rongod> damn
[06:55] <z3rongod> i have to go to work, will follow up tonight
[06:55] <z3rongod> Thanks cfhowlett

[07:21] <thaicares> jalexandru where can I find the source code than?
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> i tried to follow the tutorual every step here
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> http://scarygliders.net/2011/11/17/x11rdp-ubuntu-11-10-gnome-3-xrdp-customization-new-hotness/
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> but i ended up rdp' to my HTPC BUT my gnome-session refused to start instead a gray wallpaper with some pixels came up and an xterm
[07:22] <fm_> where did the software updater go in ubuntu 12.10 quantal?
[07:22] <M3th4n0l> i dont know why but it's really annoying
[07:23] <DJones> fm_: I'd ask that in #ubuntu+1 with it being a 12.10 query
[07:23] <fm_> thanks DJones
[07:24] <jalexandru> thaicares, I think this is it: http://unity-linux.org/unity-base/
[07:24] <thaicares> thanks so much man!
[07:25] <thaicares> jalexandru except that was unity linux the distro not the desktop...
[07:26] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: maybe go ask in #linux
[07:26] <Derpian> !unity
[07:26] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: It's a bit more advanced and they would be more likely to have the knowledge to help
[07:26] <M3th4n0l> hydrox24, why ?
[07:26] <M3th4n0l> ok ok... im using ubuntu 10.10 but okay i will have a look
[07:27] <wilee-nilee> !eol
[07:27] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, ^^^^
[07:27] <M3th4n0l> but i mean, if i followed the tutorial
[07:27] <M3th4n0l> that a guy wrote step by step
[07:28] <M3th4n0l> it should work just fine out of the box.. i mean i know that the problem somewhere is that it refuses sesman xrdp to open a new gnome-session when i login to it
[07:28] <NaHCo3> hi
[07:28] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, you know 10.10 is eol though right?
[07:28] <cfhowlett> NaHCo3, greetings
[07:29] <hydrox24> M3th4n0l: check that versions of all installed and related programs are the same as the tut?
[07:29] <M3th4n0l> wilee-nilee, yes i know
[07:29] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, cool. ;)
[07:30] <M3th4n0l> but still you can use it
[07:30] <M3th4n0l> if you point your sources.list repo lists to old-archive.ubuntu.com
[07:30] <wilee-nilee> M3th4n0l, I would not bother myself, but to each there own.

[07:44] <CreativeRound> Hello...this might seem like a newbie question....
[07:44] <CreativeRound> how do you get your code from ubuntu server into a github?

[08:07] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:08] <bkerensa> !justask | ferni
[08:08] <cfhowlett> cristian_c, greetings
[08:09] <ferni> bkerensa: that was not a question
[08:10] <ferni> just noted what i found and pointed the problem
[08:12] <cristian_c> I've installed easy-deb with virtualenv
[08:13] <cristian_c> I'd like use it the same way of checkinstall
[08:13] <cristian_c> *it in the same
[08:14] <cristian_c> I've found a tutorial-example
[08:15] <cristian_c> I don't know how to adjust the following command in my case:
[08:15] <cristian_c> $ easy-deb -v2.4 -d python-pypi-delegate -D /tmp graph
[08:15] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:19] <MonkeyDust> !find easy-deb
[08:22] <wilson87> Hi everybody! I've just finished installing Bumbelbee Nvidia Optimus Drivers on my laptop. It installed correctly but how can I check to see if it worked?
[08:34] <kaddi>  hi, i have a backtrash where the symbols are missing and would like to install the dbg packages for that
[08:34] <kaddi> however i can't seem to figure out which ones I needed
[08:34] <kaddi>  can someone help me identify what I need
[08:34] <kaddi> http://pastebin.com/tsCGDucb
[08:34] <kaddi>  amarok-dbg  is installed, but didn't help
[08:37] <shoonya> i just installed gloobus-preview on ubuntu (precise) and unable to get preview working for FLAC files
[08:37] <shoonya> how do i get it working
[08:43] <MonkeyDust> shoonya  i'm not familiar with it, but try to logout and in again to make it work
[08:44] <lochuang> FLAC IS NOT SUPPORTED
[08:44] <lochuang> Audio: mp3 / ogg / midi / 3gp / wav
[08:45] <beygi> hi guys
[08:46] <beygi> is there any script for initializing new created user ?
[08:46] <MonkeyDust> shoonya  the only thing that comes to my mind: FLAC is lossless, not compressed, like WAV, it may be too hard to handle in preview
[08:46] <shoonya> FLAC works on fedora which i was using earlier
[08:49] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: flac is lossless, but it is compressed...
[08:50] <subz3r0> hi
[08:51] <beygi> subz3r0: سلام
[08:51] <subz3r0> checked my syslog and found this error: gnome-session[2102]: WARNING: Failed to start app: Unable to start application: Childprocess <cryptkeeper> wasnt able to start, file or directory not found
[08:52] <subz3r0> cryptkeeper isnt installed anymore. im wondering how I can get rid of this error
[08:53] <lion> vm
[08:56] <lion> waht?
[08:56] <lion> JoeyJoeJo: hllo
[08:56] <lion> ;(
[08:57] <lion> :(
[08:57] <lion>                                                       
[09:00] <fred-fri> i have a script "play" at /home/<user>/play/play that id like to add to PATH, how can i do that?
[09:02] <zh> fred-fri: Add PATH=$PATH:directory to ~/.profile
[09:02] <zykotick9> fred-fri: easiest way would be to create a ~/bin directory, place your script in there - logout/backin - automatically in path
[09:02] <subz3r0> fred-fri, just add the path behind the command? like mplayer -bla -blub /home/videos/video.avi
[09:04] <fred-fri> zh this is what my .profile looks like
[09:04] <fred-fri> http://pastebin.com/hnGT8JGs
[09:05] <CommaCrazy> does any one know what is the safest way to clear swap (besides swapoff swapon) on a ubuntu mail server running postfix???
[09:06] <lion> no people

[09:07] <d8bhatta> hello guys, how can I print screen when drop down  box is expanded?
[09:08] <beygi> is there any script for initializing new created user ?
[09:08] <d8bhatta> what  combination of key shall be used?
[09:08] <MonkeyDust> d8bhatta  hit the printscreen key on your keyboard
[09:08] <d8bhatta> MonkeyDust,  yes..its obvious...but when drop down is expanded it doesn't work
[09:09] <subz3r0> nvm, about my issue. guess if found the problem. Cryptkeeper was still added under "startprograms"
[09:09] <chuck> d8bhatta: have you tried a snapshot app?
[09:10] <d8bhatta> chuck: is it avail in ubuntu by default or have to download?
[09:10] <chuck> in the repo
[09:10] <chuck> in ubuntu software centre just type in screenshot
[09:11] <chuck> gnome desktop utilities has one, screenie, shutter, kgrab
[09:11] <chuck> there are a few
[09:11] <chuck> they let you even grab just a window if you want
[09:12] <epzil0n> or if you as i like the cli use scrot ;)
[09:12] <fred-fri> after editing .profile, do i need to logout for changes to take effect?
[09:12] <chuck> fred-fri: for the user .profile?
[09:13] <fred-fri> yeah
[09:13] <chuck> fred-fri: oh yeah..of course
[09:13] <fred-fri> serious? thats why its not working
[09:13] <fred-fri> brb

[09:15] <cihhan> Hi all! I have a question. Im running Ubuntu Server without any GUI and I have VMs running (with GUI) with private IP. I want to vnc to the VMs from remote machine and use them with GUI. How can I do that?
[09:16] <The_BROS> What programme with GUI can create ISO-image in Ubuntu?
[09:16] <chuck> The_BROS check out acetoneiso
[09:16] <cfhowlett> The_BROS, startupdiskcreator
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> cihhan  i use vbox too - make sure the virtual machines are in the same network as your physical machines - use bridged instead of NAT to that end
[09:18] <cihhan> MonkeyDust: The problem is the host doesnt have GUI
[09:18] <alankila> cihhan: I've set up ipsec to accomplish this, myself. I push a route to the private LAN of 192.168.56.0/24, which is routed via ipsec.
[09:19] <alankila> I'm not using virtualbox though, just kvm. But there are VNC servers running for every one of the machines nevertheless.
[09:19] <cihhan> alankila: let me check ipsec
[09:19] <chuck> The_BROS: you trying to make an iso from a cd?
[09:20] <cihhan> alankila: I set VNCserver on VMs but when I tried to launch it gave error
[09:20] <cihhan> let me try it again
[09:21] <cihhan> It was giving just grey screen
[09:21] <chuck> The_BROS: for a command line, you can use for example "cat /dev/(your cd rom drive) > /home/(your user name)/test.iso
[09:21] <CommaCrazy> ty MonkeyDust

[09:21] <Anomie21> Trying to install telnet so I can test postfix but I keep getting this error 'Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/netkit-telnet/telnet_0.17-36_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.30 80] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?' when using sudo apt-get install telnet ??
[09:22] <chuck> means that file doesn't exist on that website
[09:22] <chuck> you may have to get it from somewhere else
[09:22] <chuck> maybe a telnet ppa?
[09:23] <MonkeyDust> is telnet still being used?
[09:23] <chuck> lol
[09:23] <Anomie21> MonkeyDust: What else would I use to test postfix?
[09:23] <chuck> this on a 32bit or a 64bit?

[09:25] <sgo11> hi, I am using gnome shell. but all the notification popup windows are in unity style. how can I use gnome shell notification instead of unity notification? thanks.
[09:27] <Anomie21> unidrake: Thats only helpful in diagnosing whether or not you can send mail to the server, not send mail out from the server, AFAIK
[09:28] <chuck> sg011: i would check out in ubuntu software centre gnome shell extension preferences
[09:29] <sgo11> chuck, I found out if I kill notify-osd, the system will use gnome notification instead of unity notification. but why does this app run at the first place if I launch gnome instead of unity?
[09:29] <chuck> sgo11: not sure. i would take it out of the boot services
[09:30] <sgo11> chuck, how to do that properly? thanks.
[09:31] <chuck> sgo11: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/customize-the-ubuntu-notification-bubbles/
[09:32] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. let me see..
[09:32] <chuck> well let me see here
[09:32] <chuck> i think this is for just making them look different
[09:33] <chuck> sgo11: aha...here we go. http://askubuntu.com/questions/13464/how-can-i-customize-disable-notification-bubbles
[09:33] <chuck> down at #5 in the list
[09:33] <chuck> sgo11: actually where it says how to disable them
[09:34] <chuck> sgo11: although im not sure if you turn them off, they would turn off the gnome ones as well
[09:34] <Anomie21> I've found the .deb file for telnet - can that be installed via ssh?
[09:34] <chuck> Anomie21: no..i would use ftp to send it
[09:35] <Anomie21> and then dpkg -i ?
[09:35] <chuck> yeah
[09:35] <chuck> sudo dpkg -i "
[09:37] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. I will try to that and reboot later. :)
[09:37] <chuck> sgo11: edit your org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file and replace notify-osd with the one for gnome
[09:40] <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. I think the two notification programs somehow both run at boot time. very weird. will try to reboot later. since I have some current work to do. :) cheers.
[09:40] <chuck> sgo11 ok take care
[09:41] <sgo11> chuck, thanks. :)
[09:45] <chuck> sgo11: anytime

[10:20] <_jeet> geirha : what can be solution then ?
[10:21] <geirha> _jeet: You either need to install the slapd package with the same version, or uninstall libldap-2.4-2, then install slapd
[10:21] <geirha> _jeet: which should grab both packages from the same repository
[10:22] <_jeet> geirha : ok i am trying again after uninstalling

[10:22] <_jeet> Thanks Geirha !
[10:22] <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?
[10:23] <alankila> trijntje: shell, rsync
[10:23] <alankila> (if nautilus had any sense it would use rsync itself)
[10:24] <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
[10:26] <trijntje> but I dont think nautilus has an archive option right? So to resume the normal copy I can just use -P?
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> Wow - a quiet morning.
[10:42] <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?
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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?
[10:45] <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*
[10:46] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: no, even mouse freezes and doesnt unfreeze, even after waiting half an hour
[10:48] <trijntje> geirha: ok, thanks. I'm trying rsync -av now
[10:48] <fep> anyone know anything about bugs in w3af vs ubuntu 12.04?
[10:54] <geirha> trijntje: Monitor syslog in another terminal.  tail -F /var/log/syslog
[10:54] <geirha> trijntje: In case it freezes again, syslog may have clues as to why
[10:54] <trijntje> geirha: looks like its working, thanks! Ill take a look at syslog if it freezes again
[10:54] <fep> how do i easelly downgrade python from 2,7 to 2,6 ?
[10:56] <Geri_lgfx> how many hours in a day? 10
[10:56] <fep> how do i easelly downgrade python from 2,7 to 2,6 ?
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> fep  downgrading may harm your system
[11:00] <fep> MonkeyDust, if i got a program wich require python 2.6, and i got 2.7 but the program doesnt cooperate, what do i do?
[11:05] <ALIAZ> hi
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> hello
[11:06] <ALIAZ> i have a proble i aborted apt-get upgrade, then i deleted the lock file and now i get error messages
[11:06] <fep> MonkeyDust, can i install python 2,6 beside python 2.7 if i find the dev package?
[11:07] <ALIAZ> anyone a idea how to fiox that?
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> fep  are both versions not compatible?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> ALIAZ:  whats the exact error?
[11:07] <ALIAZ> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[11:07] <fep> MonkeyDust, the program i need to run says it need python 2.6, it doesnt work with 2.7
[11:07] <jrib> ALIAZ: run the command it says to run
[11:07] <ALIAZ> i tried
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> fep  better ask in the channel #python, then
[11:08] <ALIAZ> the i get ths error: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0008' near line 0:
[11:08] <ALIAZ>  newline in field name `#padding'
[11:08] <jrib> fep: umm, you should be able to use 2.7
[11:08] <ALIAZ> os is backtrack5
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> ALIAZ:  perhaps move/rename that 0008 file - it maybe currupted
[11:08] <jrib> !backtrack | ALIAZ
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> ALIAZ  type /join #backtrack-linux
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> And for backtrack. you shouldbe using the backtrack support channels. Good Luck
[11:09] <ALIAZ> ok
[11:09] <fep> jrib: i need python 2.6 to upgrade the software so it detects version 2.7
[11:09] <jrib> fep: be less vague
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> (why do beginners use backtrack? it's a network penetration distro for professionals)
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> Python is not going to be 'upgradeing' the pyython apps to be conpatiable with 2.7 I imagine.
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com may hae ways to have both 2.6 and 2.7 installed.
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> MonkeyDust:  no idea. :)
[11:10] <fep> jrib, sorry?
[11:10] <jrib> fep: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Be specific.
[11:11] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: they like to think they are elite hackers

[11:12] <fep> jrib: i need to upgrade my audit/detecting software "w3af", and to run console version it needs python 2.6. i got python 2.7 but the program seems to not detect that. after i run a upgrade for w3af, it would probably recognise python 2.7
[11:12] <Mr_Kaizer> Hey, been a while since I've used Ubuntu now. Are people still recommended *not* to use the update manager to update their release version?
[11:13] <fep> jrib: so how do i downgrade to python 2.6 for five minutes, and then change it back to 2.7 ?
[11:13] <subz3r0> Mr_Kaizer, not rly, i used in in several situations without any issues
[11:13] <subz3r0> -in/it
[11:13] <Milos_SD> Does anyone knows if the official design (artwork) for wearables in canonical shop are open? Can I download PDF or TIFF of the artwork?
[11:13] <jrib> fep: what exactly happens when you try to run it?  What do you mean by "the program seems to not detect that"?
[11:14] <fep> jrib: it says "/usr/bin/w3af_console: 3: /usr/bin/w3af_console: /usr/bin/python2.5: not found" great, 2.5 that is :p
[11:14] <Milos_SD> I need an artwork for one t-shirt... I can't order it, because shipping for my country is 10x the price of the t-shirt :(
[11:14] <Mr_Kaizer> subz3r0: Alright. I just seem to remember there being issues with it before. Seems they might have fixed that then :D
[11:14] <ech> I have some hardware that communicates over ethernet (without a router) rather than USB and it needs to obtain an IP from my Ubuntu PC. How do I configure this in Network Manager?
[11:14] <devtekalpha> Im making a usb ubuntustudio boot stick using unetbootin tool. An option says "spaced used to preserve files accross reboot(ubuntu only)" and an mb edit box... What is this for? Shall i leave it at 0 or.......?
[11:14] <jrib> fep: have it use python 2.7, it will work fine
[11:15] <fep> jrib, how?
[11:15] <jrib> fep: change 5 to 7
[11:15] <subz3r0> devtekalpha, leave it
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Ok
[11:15] <devtekalpha> What is it for though?
[11:15] <jrib> fep: ask the developers of the program if you want
[11:15] <subz3r0> it would be for a persistent installation, where you can save files on the stick
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Oh i see
[11:15] <Kartagis> in 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf says 127.0.0.1 for nameserver, but that doesn't work for me anymore (I can't resolve). any ideas?
[11:15] <devtekalpha> Thanks
[11:15] <subz3r0> you're welcome
[11:15] <primefalcon> I go away nd come back and I am being asked by a flood bot what color is a brown bug...... weird
[11:15] <fep> jrib: change 5 to 7, what do you mean?
[11:16] <jrib> fep: in your application, change "python2.5" to "python2.7"
[11:16] <Kartagis> primefalcon: everybody knows... red...
[11:16] <fep> jrib, as in the file i use to run the software?
[11:16] <jrib> fep: sure
[11:16] <fep> jrib, ok thanks
[11:17] <primefalcon> karakedi, lol
[11:17] <fep> jrib, "2.5" not found in that file
[11:17] <kristenbb>  Does someone know how I could make dot create equally spaced nodes, regardless of the arrow label ?
[11:17] <jrib> fep: then you are looking at the wrong file
[11:18] <fep> jrib, how do i figure out wich file says what python version it should detect when i run the "executable" file?
[11:19] <jrib> fep: if you're not sure, ask the author
[11:19] <Kartagis> in 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf says 127.0.0.1 for nameserver, but that doesn't work for me anymore (I can't resolve). any ideas?
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  127.0.0.1 is localhost, your own pc, try changing the nameserver IP to that of your router, 192.168.1.1 or so
[11:20] <jrib> fep: by the way, w3af and w3af-console are in the repositories.  Are you using the version from the repositories/
[11:20] <fep> jrib: the executable file starts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" , but still it says it doesnt find version 2.5
[11:21] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: 2 days ago, it was still 127.0.0.1, but I could resolve
[11:21] <jrib> fep: what does "/usr/bin/env python --version" in a console do?
[11:21] <auronandace> fep: type: "which python"
[11:22] <fep> jrib: yes, and i dont know
[11:22] <jrib> fep: yes what?
[11:23] <francua> how do i completely remove gnome desktop environment after i switched to kde for example?
[11:23] <devtekalpha> Im making an ubuntu usb bootable stick(with unetbootin) and  during it paused with a msg saying the file "e://autorun.inf already exists" press yes to overwrite.... Is this a weird thing to happen? Or i just click yes and should be fine
[11:23] <fep> jrib,  repositories, or what did you mean?
[11:23] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: my computer at home has nameserver 127.0.0.1 in its /etc/resolv.conf, and it can resolve
[11:23] <fep> my english is not perfect
[11:24] <lJ6il> Hello. My EeePC 1215N is very silent, so it's nice. But i think it's a bit hot... I'd like to raise the fan speed, but i can't. When i do a sudo pwmconfig, here what i've got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126848/
[11:24] <fep> jrib: i did the installation with ubuntu software center
[11:24] <jrib> fep: what does "/usr/bin/env python --version" in a console do?
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  type sudo -e /etc/resolv.conf and change the nameserver's IP, then restart the network -- if it's not better, change it back
[11:25] <fep> jrib: --version was not there, only "/usr/bin/env python" , i dont know, i dont do programming, maybe use python to run rest of the file?
[11:25] <jrib> fep: run the command...
[11:25] <fep> yes, it starts python ....
[11:25] <jrib> fep: run the command I said
[11:26] <fep> oh, sorry
[11:26] <fep> jrib, Python 2.7.3
[11:27] <jrib> fep: ls -l /usr/local/bin/
[11:28] <fep> jrib, total 0
[11:28] <jrib> fep: pastebin that if there is output.  Afterwards, pastebin contents of w3af_console file you are running
[11:28] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: why are two computers behaving differently? I also found out that my colleague has a file named original in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/, which I don't
[11:30] <fep> jrib: w3af_console http://pastebin.ca/2177086
[11:32] <Ileden> I did a do-release-upgrade overnight, and when I woke up it was "completed" without any apparent bad errors, but my HD space was at 0. How do I make sure my system is not in the middle of a broken upgrade or something?
[11:33] <Ileden> doing "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" only updated a few packages.
[11:33] <Ileden> and the system is working ok...
[11:34] <WanderingEnder> Is anyone running Ubuntu Server on Windows Azure, and if so, is there any pitfalls I need to know prior to my own deployment? Alternately, point me to a channel that handles this use case.
[11:34] <fep> Ileden, if its ot broken why fix it?
[11:34] <jrib> fep: what do you execute exactly to get the message about python2.5?
[11:34] <fep> jrib: "w3af_console"
[11:34] <Ileden> fep: errrrrrr?
[11:35] <jrib> fep: create a script like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126906/, make it executable.  Does that run ok?
[11:36] <Ileden> fep: Perhaps because I don't wan't to find out later that "oops the keyring/screenlock blahblahwhateversecuritysystem" was completely messed up, whoopsie.
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  that file may be created by the network manager
[11:36] <Kartagis> sudo route add default gw 10.18.0.1
[11:36] <Kartagis> SIOCADDRT: No such process <--- why am I getting this?
[11:36] <fep> jrib: yes
[11:36] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: I found out somehow my route table is corrupteed
[11:37] <zh> WanderingEnder: #ubuntu-server
[11:37] <jrib> fep: try w3af_console again in the same terminal you just ran that script from
[11:37] <fep> jrib: "/usr/bin/w3af_console: 3: /usr/bin/w3af_console: /usr/bin/python2.5: not found"
[11:39] <WanderingEnder> zh: thanks.
[11:39] <Otkrick> Hello, world !!!
[11:40] <WanderingEnder> !hello Otkrick
[11:40] <Otkrick> )
[11:40] <Otkrick> guys, how to disable local dns-cache?
[11:40] <WanderingEnder> Damn, I used to be able to make the bot say hi. :)
[11:40] <jrib> fep: pastebin your  /usr/share/python/debian_defaults .  Also « dpkg -L w3af-console »
[11:40] <Otkrick> WanderingEnder: can you help me with disabling local dns-cache? o.o.
[11:41] <auronandace> WanderingEnder: that factoid was removed a long while ago
[11:41] <Ileden> Basically what I'm asking is if there's a way to check if all my packages are in good state - installed and configured correctly - after the distribution upgrade.
[11:41] <Ileden> I don't see how they could be, if I ran completely out of space...
[11:41] <auronandace> Ileden: what does df -h say?
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  what's the outcome of df -h
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> auronandace  was faster :)
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  make sure there's not too many / obsolete kernels in your /
[11:42] <jrib> fep: what ubuntu version by the way?
[11:42] <Ileden> auronandace: it said "avail 0" and the system didn't boot to X, but after I released some space, it's now got 370M and the system seems fine.
[11:43] <WanderingEnder> Otkrick: I usually just pointed my boxes to 8.8.8.8 in resolv.conf and had no local cache problems.
[11:44] <Ileden> auronandace: MonkeyDust: df -h (currently) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126930/
[11:44] <Otkrick> WanderingEnder: m.. i have my own dns-server and my hosts should always ask him..
[11:44] <Ileden> auronandace: MonkeyDust: But as I said after the do-release-upgrade was complete, the /dev/sda5 had 0 Avail.
[11:45] <fep> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2177089
[11:45] <fep> jrib: 12.04
[11:45] <Ileden> MonkeyDust: how do I check for obsolete kernels in my root?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  yes, the new kernel may be installed next to the old
[11:45] <jrib> fep: readlink -f $(which w3af_console)
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  i use the third party app ubuntu-tweak, but i'm sure there's a command for it
[11:46] <fep> jrib, "/usr/bin/w3af_console"
[11:46] <auronandace> Ileden: i tend to use synaptic to show them
[11:46] <jrib> fep: pastebin /usr/bin/w3af_console
[11:46] <zetheroo> I installed KDE-plasma desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and would like to know where the KDE wallpapers are stored
[11:47] <fep> i did, let me scroll :p
[11:47] <jrib> fep: also, do « cd » before attempting to run this program again (i.e. don't be in /usr/share/w3af)
[11:47] <fep> oh, maybe its different?
[11:47] <fep> 2 sec
[11:48] <fep> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2177091
[11:48] <fep> jrib, same message when in different dir
[11:49] <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?
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <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.
[11:52] <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] <fep> to the author of the program? where/how ?
[11:53] <zetheroo>  I installed the plasma desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and am wondering where the plasma wallpapers are stored
[11:53] <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.
[11:54] <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?
[11:55] <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
[11:56] <Ileden> auronandace: Oh, wait, was looking wrong earlier. I do have 3.0.0-23 and 3.2.0-27 installed also
[11:56] <Evvyddre> Hey how can install the server os to a pc what wont instal it via usb or cd or pxe?
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> Ileden  the .27 one is the correct
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> delete the other kernels
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> wont 'install' or wont boot? Evvyddre ? you could always move the hd to a differnt pc.. install to the hd.. then move it back
[11:57] <codeusher> 8-)
[11:57] <jalexandru> anybody knows what's the command name for startup disk creator?
[11:57] <fep> jrib: where do i report issues like that? have not done that before, once have to be the first :)
[11:57] <cypher-neo> zetheroo: They would be in your KDE system hierarchy. I think that would be $HOME/.kde/share/wallpapers
[11:58] <Evvyddre> the pc i am using how is windows 7  but has no working cd drive
[11:58]  * gry eyes #kubuntu and zetheroo
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> jalexandru:  usb-creator-gtk
[11:58] <Evvyddre> now*
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  it cant boot from USB? that would be weird..
[11:58] <jalexandru> dr_willis, thx
[11:59] <Evvyddre> do i use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/#button ? and what is the best verion of the server atm 12.04?
[12:00] <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] <Evvyddre> as i install it from usb on the pc it says CD not found
[12:00] <zetheroo> cypher-neo: ok well they weren't there but I found them in /usr/share/wallpapers
[12:01] <Evvyddre> i got vmbox "pc emu" but i wont connect my cattic to it
[12:01] <cypher-neo> zetheroo: :)
[12:01] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace 127.0.0.1 with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  that sounds like the old server installing from usb bug. No idea on how.why it happens. askubuntu.com may have work arounds.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  virtualbox works very well for me on windows. 'cattic' ?
[12:02] <Evvyddre> i was using 32bit ubuntu server 12.04
[12:02] <Evvyddre> it want mount my cate
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> 'it wont mount' your WHAT?
[12:04] <Abhijit> meow?
[12:04]  * mydogsnameisrudy cat in the attic?
[12:05] <karsten__> \nick karstenda
[12:05] <stevecam> where can i find more information on ubuntu for android, are there any official repositories?
[12:05] <Evvyddre> DrWillis: vm box wont mount my samsong story extanal hdd so i cant ghost the drive
[12:06] <Abhijit> that 'cate' means this long sentence?
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  start here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  Virtualbox has some extra plugins/settings you enable to allow it direct access of USB devices.
[12:06] <Abhijit> stevecam, http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[12:08] <Evvyddre> Dr_Willis: will norton ghost do? for cloning my vm harddrive to real one?
[12:08] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace 127.0.0.1 with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  No idea. Virtualbox has numerous tools for working with the VBOX hd images.
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> id suggest trying those.
[12:10] <Evvyddre> i have to reintall ubuntu server back on my vm used the 64bit ver insted of the 32bit
[12:10] <compdoc> Evvyddre, clonezilla will work. How old is your Norton Ghost?
[12:10] <AdvoWork> just burned a dvd which failed to end up how I wanted it. Basically i have loads of videos m4v that I want across a few dvds, but so they sorta play from my dvd player (so i can select each title). Any recommendations for a program?
[12:10] <Evvyddre> compdoc: hirnons 9.8 is what am using
[12:10] <Kartagis> Evvyddre: try gpasswd -a youruid vboxusers for enabling USB access
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  you want them to be in 'dvd-video' format?
[12:10] <Kartagis> and then log out/in
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  or can your player play the video files?
[12:11] <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
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <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] <stevecam> What has been done?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> stevecam  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-for-android-demoed-on-video-at-fisl
[12:14] <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.
[12:15] <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.
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <Evvyddre> apt-get install ?
[12:17] <stevecam> what is getting promoted? is it going to be open?
[12:18] <auronandace> !ot | stevecam
[12:18] <stevecam> why is this off topic? this is ubuntu i am talking about isn't it?
[12:19] <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.
[12:20] <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.
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <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. ;)
[12:23] <Evvyddre> hey whats a great SVN software with gui ?
[12:24] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace 127.0.0.1 with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> if you want gui tools.. why are you installign the server edition Evvyddre ?
[12:24] <Evvyddre> yes
[12:24] <Evvyddre> gui tool for when i am vnx
[12:24] <Evvyddre> vnc
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> !svn
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> No idea on svn guis.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> check package manager see whats there.
[12:25] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: can you help me with my issue?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  depends on the issue. :)
[12:26] <Kartagis> I'm on 12.04, I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace 127.0.0.1 with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> No idea Kartagis  i rarely ever have to mess with routeing.
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  then why not replace it, if it solves the problem?
[12:27] <Kartagis> netstat -antlp | grep 53 gives me output
[12:27] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: then I can't automount my LAN drive
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  it's in fstab -- what happens when you try? errors?
[12:28] <Kartagis> I can mount -a and it is connected, just can't automount
[12:29] <Kartagis> besides, I'm better off knowing what the issue is
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> -a is for auto mounting...
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> unless you mean the user cant mount 'on the fly'  when its first accessed
[12:29] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: it doesn't mount on boot
[12:30] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> does it mount via the cli afterwards?
[12:30] <geirha> did you add the _netdev option?
[12:30] <Kartagis> I'm wondering if some packages are messed up when I updated the other day
[12:30] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: yes
[12:30] <Kartagis> geirha: me?
[12:31] <geirha> Kartagis: yes
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  dirty work around = mount it from rc.local - it could be some service is slow to respond so the mount is failing.
[12:31] <Kartagis> geirha: no, but it used to work fine
[12:31] <roasted_> hello!
[12:31] <geirha> Kartagis: Well, adding the _netdev option should ensure that it doesn't try to mount it before the network is up
[12:31] <_skpl> can someone tell me how to find out which graphics driver my system is using?
[12:32] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: I'll be better off knowing what the issue is in case it happens again
[12:32] <auronandace> _skpl: what is the output of lsmod
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  sounds like network is not ready when it tries to mount.. to me.  as the 'issue'
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  no idea how this involves your DNS stuff from earlier. perhaps thats not whats starting fast enough
[12:35] <_skpl> auronandace: im trying to find out why ubuntu 2d is so slow on my machine. lsmod tells me its using my i915 intel agp
[12:35] <Evvyddre> what is the best way of installing mono?
[12:36] <zoki> from eine
[12:36] <auronandace> _skpl: i've never used intel graphics so i don't know sorry
[12:37] <matthewvz> Attempted to install Ubuntu via the windows installer, I rebooted and I get a good size error. "Kennel panic - not syncing VFS: Unable to mount rood fs on unkonwn-block(0,0)" and some other things after that.
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> !mono
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  is your windows setup on some sort of raid or other weird hard drive setup?
[12:38] <matthewvz> Might be, not sure exactly
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> the Wubi Windows installer is .. well 'flakey' and i dont reccomend it.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> and Im being very nice about it. :P
[12:39] <matthewvz> I have no other means of installing it on my laptop, had no problem with it on this computer.
[12:39] <_skpl> auronandace: do you have any idea why ubuntu 2d might be running slow? my machien isnt that old.
[12:41] <Guest95837> hi, I just installed ubuntu. Do I need to install graphic drivers separately?
[12:41] <auronandace> _skpl: have you upgraded from a previous release? are you using any ppas?
[12:41] <angela23432> anyone please?
[12:41] <_skpl> auronandace: yeah i upgraded from a previous release. and i think i have a few ppas
[12:42] <angela23432> do I need to install graphic card drivers separately?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> angela23432  anyone is not here today
[12:42] <joa__> hello, someone got a minute? i ran into the "invalid EFI file path" problem after installing ubuntu for a dual boot setup.
[12:42] <auronandace> _skpl: what ppas?
[12:42] <angela23432> MonkeyDust, are you a bot?
[12:42] <joa__> i got the gist for the bootinfo here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126994/
[12:43] <auronandace> angela23432: no he isn't
[12:44] <joa__> bot operating systems are installed on different drives, but i wonder if there is a small change i need to perform for grub that gets win7 working again?
[12:44] <auronandace> angela23432: perhaps you could explain your issue
[12:47] <Ileden> angela23432: it depends. Sometimes for good results you need to install "external" (non-libre) drivers. Often not.
[12:49] <Ileden> angela23432: in any case, they can be downloaded and activated from within ubuntu.
[12:50] <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] <angela23432> Ileden, how do I check if I need to install drivers?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  id suggest just using VIrtualbox then and forget about Wubi.
[12:51] <Ileden> angela23432: No idea :) If the system doesn't perform as you'd think it should, that's a good sign. Sorry, maybe someone else can tell more about it.
[12:52] <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] <angela23432> well, I'm seeing my screen blinking very fast. is that a sign?
[12:52] <__Hayes__> Hello All :')
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  Ive ran off a 32gb or 16gb usb flash quite well. :)
[12:53] <Jarrydx26> Hey guys when is ubuntu's Birthday ?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  got me a SSD just for Ubuntu on my Desktop box. ;P
[12:53] <angela23432> Ileden, ^
[12:53] <osse> I have an Ubuntu server running. I have apache running which is hosting a Redmine instance. I haven't configured anything special.  Now when logging in it says "You have new mail." and I'm completely at a loss.
[12:53] <matthewvz> Dr_Willis: Not a bad idea
[12:53] <compdoc> Jarrydx26, going to have a party?
[12:54] <__Hayes__> why does my Acer laptop battery goes down in 20mins in ubuntu 12.04 ? is this an known issue? My windows 7 gives more than 1hour battery? Can somebody suggest me?
[12:54] <Jarrydx26> Compdoc : yeah an irc party will be great ! :)
[12:54] <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.
[12:55] <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)
[12:56] <Evvyddre> is there software i can help with game devlopment?
[12:56] <Abhijit> Evvyddre, 0ad
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  I imagine theres lots of software that 'help' but its the details that matter.
[12:57] <Evvyddre> abhijit what is that?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> !info 0ad
[12:58] <auronandace> Evvyddre: 0ad is a game
[12:58] <Evvyddre> fr_willis: is mostly UDK based with blender objects
[12:58] <Yandex_nm2> Evvyddre: You could contribute to Half Life Episode 3, they're having trouble releasing it on time
[12:59] <WanderingEnder> Yandex_nm2: . . . They're not having trouble, they're just on Valve Time.
[12:59] <Evvyddre> i know i can i got a team of 8 people working with me
[12:59] <WanderingEnder> Evvyddre: Do you know how to program?
[12:59] <Pici> !offtopic | Evvyddre
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Evvyddre, pay them :)
[13:00] <Ileden> angela23432: Note that if there's nothing listed in "additional drivers" that doesn't mean your system isn't using _any_ drivers, only that it's using the ones that come with ubuntu.
[13:01] <Evvyddre> WanderingEnder: i just look at code and learn from it
[13:01] <Evvyddre> what project website based thing i can use to help with my devlopement?
[13:02] <auronandace> Evvyddre: that isn't a ubuntu support question
[13:03] <Evvyddre> auronandace: i am sorry then
[13:05] <WanderingEnder> Evvyddre: You might try #unbutu-offtopic, or a forum for game development issues, or Reddit's game development subreddit.
[13:06] <Pici> WanderingEnder, Evvyddre: its #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:07] <WanderingEnder> >.> Yes, yes it is.
[13:07] <Evvyddre> Thanks to all who help me
[13:08] <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?
[13:09] <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?
[13:10] <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'
[13:11] <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.
[13:12] <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.
[13:13] <Sludge321> jrib: Thanks, will take a look - might be helpful.
[13:13] <jrib> Sludge321: specifically the --restore option
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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.
 I know about screen capture
[13:16] <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
 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] <Dr_Willis> !oem
[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
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <WITRChris> i just want it to specify the 'answers' file and have it install, given a default root password
[13:21] <AdvoWork> MonkeyDust, nice thanks
[13:23] <Neal_> How do I get rid of *** System Restart Required *** ?
[13:23] <newbie|3> I was given the solution on the amule channel for that problem.  Now I have a bluetooth question.
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> Neal_  it disappears after you restarted
[13:23] <zykotick9> Neal_: restart your system?
[13:24] <Odra> Hello, I'm new to development and I got a question. Suppose I have an application which just happens to run on ubuntu. How do I get that application listed on the software manager / distributors?
[13:24] <Pici> !newpackage  | Odra
[13:24] <Neal_> I don't want to restart the whole server. I restared the process network-manager (which required the restart)
[13:25] <newbie|3> I have a bluetooth dongle on my desktop. I have an Archos 101 G9 turbo (1.2) tablet.  My desktop with the dongle finds my cell phone, but not the tablet.  Why and what must I do to make it work?
[13:25] <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
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> !info ksplice
[13:30] <Evvyddre> how do i disable the desktop on ubuntu server boot?
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> !text| Evvyddre
[13:30] <Neal_> Heh
[13:30] <Neal_> Any free alternatives to ksplice? :D
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> Neal_  i guess ksplice *is* the aternative
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> l
[13:31] <Ramattack> Hi!
[13:31] <theubuntuwarrior> whats good people
[13:32] <Ramattack> Does anyone know how to sync an android phone with any mail client??
[13:33] <tomtiger11> Ramattack: Is that an Ubuntu question?
[13:33] <epinky> !ot
[13:33] <Ramattack> Yep it's a ubuntu related question
[13:33] <Ramattack> How to that on ubuntu
[13:38] <Evvyddre> is there a file you can just edit?
[13:39] <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.
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <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.
[13:42] <Tm_T> DJones: yup, I'm wondering the supported way though (:
[13:42] <Ileden> Ramattack: Hopefully someone else can help.
[13:42] <Ramattack> Ok then so nobody knows??
[13:43] <Tm_T> Ramattack: depends on what kind of technologies your server supports for syncing calendar and contacts
[13:43] <y4h0> hey
[13:43] <Ramattack> No one
[13:43] <y4h0> do you know how to install oracle-java-7 in ubuntu 64bit ?
[13:44] <zykotick9> !java | y4h0
[13:44] <Ramattack> Just wanted to sync a client like evolution and of course talking abot contacts and callendar
[13:45] <osse> I have a Ubuntu server running. As far as I know I haven't set up any mail-related applications or configurations. When I log in I see the text "You have new mail" which wasn't there a few days ago. How can I read the mail?
[13:45] <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] <Tm_T> Ramattack: if you want to sync directly between clients, then I do not know any sensible solution
[13:46] <micqo11> guys, is it possible to make a livecd from sdcard? or only from usb stick?
[13:46] <roasted_> anybody using likewise-open with AD services on 12.04? I'm having trouble in the "assumedefaultdomain" department.
[13:47] <SliMM> hello
[13:47] <Ramattack> I'm not using exchange or zimbra or so....
[13:47] <Ramattack> Just a mailbox machine... The part of calendar and contacta go directly in tue clients
[13:47] <Tm_T> Ramattack: not even imap sotre?
[13:48] <Tm_T> sotre/store/
[13:48] <voldyman> hi. i am running ubuntu 12.04. before login it gives me dbus-launch --sh-session --binary-syntax --autolaunch=<somelongstring> and does not show the login page.
[13:48] <Ramattack> Yep imap is the way I manage mail
[13:48] <Tm_T> Ramattack: I recall there were methods on storing claendar and contacts to imap
[13:49] <Tm_T> might be worth investigating
[13:49] <Ramattack> Yes??
[13:49] <Ramattack> I didn't heard Bout them
[13:49] <_josh> Occasionally, when I shut my laptop lid, ubuntu logs me out instead of suspending (i'm using awesome wm and xfce4-power-manager)
[13:49] <_josh> anybody know how to debug this?
[13:50] <voldyman> can anyone help me??
[13:51] <epinky> voldyman: graphic card issue maybe, manual  Xorg configuration is needed
[13:51] <voldyman> epinky: any guide? or specific thing to change?
[13:52] <SliMM> Hello
[13:53] <SliMM> I was trying to compile the Application Indicators example from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators
[13:53] <SliMM> with the following command: gcc $(pkg-config --libs --cflags appindicator-0.1 gtk+-3.0) app-indicator.c -o app-indicator
[13:53] <SliMM> The compilation part is fine, but then the linker fails to find any gtk-related function
[13:54] <SliMM> any ideas why?
[13:54] <SliMM> there are no complaints about appindicator functions
[13:55] <epinky> voldyman: that's very specific to every graphic card though, you can read about X configuration: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/
[13:55] <voldyman> thanks epinky
[13:55] <kristenbb> What tool could I use to create a video out of very similar looking images, of the same size ?
[13:56] <drag0nius_netboo> hi
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  openshot
[13:56] <drag0nius_netboo> is there some app to manage broadband modems?
[13:56] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: is there other alternatives, or is it really the best around?
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  try it and see if it suits you
[13:57] <drag0nius_netboo> preferably with GUI, SIM features (sms etc)
[13:57] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: sure. What's the syntax?
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  sudo apt-get install openshot
[13:58] <auronandace> kristenbb: openshot is a gui program
[13:58] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: no I mean to actually create the video.
[13:58] <kristenbb> auronandace: oh, I was looking for a command line application, sorry I didn't mention it
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  best is to try and explore the program
[13:59] <kristenbb> What command line tool could I use to create a video out of very similar looking images, of the same size ?
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> ah, CLI, i missed that part
[13:59] <kristenbb> no you didn't, I had forgotten to mention it.
[13:59] <kristenbb> sorry.
[14:00] <mneptok> kristenbb: vlc-cli may be able to do it. may.
[14:00] <Evvyddre> hey how do resize my partishions?

[14:08] <kai__> hello you all
[14:08] <Squall5668> If changing GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX won't change my tty resolution won't do a thing
[14:08] <Squall5668> how can i find whatever it is that's overriding it? Or won't that work anymore in 12.04 for some reason? No video drivers installed
[14:09] <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
[14:12] <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] <Evvyddre> how do i use gpart?
[14:13] <Calinou> whoever seeds
[14:13] <Calinou> Evvyddre, sudo gparted
[14:13] <auronandace> !gksudo | Calinou

[14:19] <ubuntumepls> I am running lubuntu (i wanted ubuntu but dont have a 4gb flash drive). I finally managed to format my HDD and now i want to use an ISO to install windows without having to use a DVD. Current problem is that i can't move grub.exe to filesystem folder because i dont have permission. What is the command to move a file in terminal?
[14:19] <srabtnom> colock: is it possible to enable logging ?
[14:19] <colock> srabtnom: don't know how. What I know is that kernel "quiet" option masks kernel messages from the console (so that nice fb loading images can be used without cluttering)
[14:20] <srabtnom> ubuntumepls: if you tried sudo and it doesn't work, run 'mount' and check if the fs is mounted ro (readonly)
[14:20] <ubuntumepls> srabtnom: is there an option to run file manager as root?
[14:20] <colock> srabtnom: now i'm monitoring apache's access.log on web server
[14:20] <srabtnom> colock: sometimes graphical boot is on tty1, and logging is on anoter terminal like tty7
[14:21] <colock> but again, it's too quick for me. no time to get drivers loaded, network interface up, dhcp address and tcp connection to webserver
[14:21] <colock> srabtnom: i know
[14:21] <colock> i want to debug the preseed/url option
[14:21] <colock> it's clearly not taken into account
[14:21] <srabtnom> ubuntumepls: sudo your_file_manager, if that doesn't work try gksu instead of sudo
[14:21] <colock> 'cause it goes into interactive mode even before getting the network up
[14:22] <colock> or maybe it's impossible to have fully automated install using a remote preseed file?
[14:22] <W4sp> ‰/load script hide
[14:22] <kwoot> anyone? pelase?
[14:22] <colock> double check boot command line to be sure only one preseed is used
[14:22] <srabtnom> kwoot: try /etc/skel
[14:23] <kwoot> scrabtnom: could it be that simple?
[14:23] <srabtnom> kwoot: it should
[14:23] <ubuntumepls> gksudo pcmanfm gives me Error
[14:23] <ubuntumepls> nvm
[14:23] <colock> srabtnom: ok course :] by default: file=/.../kubuntu.seed is used :/
[14:23] <colock> eheh
[14:24] <srabtnom> colock: that's the attitude ;)
[14:24] <colock> srabtnom: still this is strange
[14:25] <SliMM> where should I put an icon so that notify-osd can find it without much trouble?
[14:25] <colock> by intuition and common sense, if you give auto and url= at boot command line, the initrd should (in my opinion) 1) load needed components from cd 2) bring up network 3) fetch preseed from url= parameter
[14:25] <colock> instead is doing the same, interactive thingie
[14:25] <harshadura> hi, I am currently using Ubuntu 11.04 version, If I use the same old version without updating to the latest ubuntu 12.04 version, will it be a case for me. I mean is that old versions not getting patches and bug fixes ?
[14:25] <SliMM> or appindicators
[14:26] <SliMM> harshadura: You get patches for security and bugfixes, but not for new package versions.
[14:26] <ubuntumepls> grub.exe: Error splicing file: Input/output error
[14:27] <harshadura> okay thx SliMM
[14:28] <colock> no luck :/
[14:28] <kwoot> scrubtnom: well, /etc/skel does not seem to contain something that builds the gtk-bookmarks file. sorry.
[14:28] <colock> I would love to know what I'm doing wrong :/
[14:28] <colock> tried auto url= and auto preseed/url=
[14:29] <colock> (removing the existing file= for kubuntu.seed)
[14:29] <W4sp> load
[14:29] <Pici> kwoot: I remember looking into something like this a while ago.  From what I remember, there are defaults in gconf (or I guess dconf now) that might be populating those values.
[14:30] <kwoot> Pici: great hint! will have a looksee. thanks!
[14:30] <Pici> kwoot: I just can't recall where those are stored, I'm on a server install right now and can't check.
[14:30] <colock> the  only thing I see in the logging console is: main-menu: DEBUG: resolver (libc6-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored)
[14:30] <colock> same with (libnewt0.52)
[14:30] <kwoot> Pici: np. grep works for me :-)
[14:31] <colock> one thing i'm sure, it's not some error in my preseed.txt file, 'cause the installer don't even try to fetch it
[14:31] <ubuntumepls> ".launch from system->administrator menu)." what does this mean?
[14:31] <colock> how to make the kubuntu-alternate amd64 11.10 cd actually use a custom, remote preseed file? anyone?
[14:32] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:34] <chandru_in> I use the default backup system of Ubuntu to backup to an external HD. The external HD is full from incremental backups. How do I free up space by deleting backups older than 6 months?
[14:34] <jbwiv> the volume control widgit on my computer never works reliably. There's only two sound levels it changes to, even though the bar moves through many levels. I have to use alsamixer to fix. Any idea how to fix this?
[14:34] <Squall5668> nevermind, GFXMODE works fine, it was my stupidity...
[14:34] <Squall5668> (ofc)
[14:35] <colock> i guess I will try with a debian netbook media...
[14:35] <colock> *netboot
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Squall5668  that's called 'pebcak'
[14:35] <Squall5668> MonkeyDust: yeah i know... id10t
[14:36] <ubuntumepls> Why can't i extract from an ISO "isoinfo: Input/output error. Read error on old image"
[14:36] <colock> maybe you're hdd is dying ubuntumepls
[14:36] <colock> check dmesg output
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> ubuntumepls  start from the beginning, what are you doing
[14:37] <colock> if you see quite a few I/O errors, you should seriously consider backupping all the important stuff (if not already done) and change it asap
[14:37] <ubuntumepls> MonkeyDust: I am trying to install windows 7 from Lubuntu by using this guide http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-windows-7-from-ubuntu-without-burnning-a-disc
[14:37] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:37] <colock> also S.M.A.R.T. could give useful insight about the status of your disks
[14:37] <ubuntumepls> MonkeyDust: colock: the HDD has been formated and partioned as per instructed by the guide. ALso the HDD has some bad sectors but i think its ok.
[14:38] <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?
[14:39] <colock> you see some/many I/O Errors there?
[14:39] <ubuntumepls> Many.
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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?
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <ubuntumepls> colock: CDROM ?
[14:44] <ubuntumepls> colock: they relate to DEV SDA which is the 80GB hdd
[14:46] <ubuntumepls> the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/8JqBi5Hp
[14:48] <colock> ubuntumepls: almost dead HDD. change it. period
[14:48] <em_> hi everybody
[14:48] <ubuntumepls> colock: You don't reckon it will last a week? :(
[14:48] <ubuntumepls> colock: As i've said the other one is in service as it has failed too and i'm expecting another one in one week...
[14:49] <em_> i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386
[14:50] <L3top> colock: that was informative (preseed) thank you.
[14:50] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: can't really tell how long it will last but i wouldn't trust it with anything important anymore
[14:50]  * em_ can anyone try to help me
[14:51] <colock> L3top: you welcome [:
[14:51] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: could use a live system for a week
[14:51] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:51] <colock> ubuntumepls: yes, but don't rely on it and don't get angry if it's slow as hell and if you're machine freezes
[14:51] <colock> ubuntumepls: and of course, if you loose data.
[14:52] <ubuntumepls> auronandace: can't run windows specific software on ubuntu
[14:52]  * em_ anybodyy...
[14:52] <L3top> !details | em_
[14:53] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: depends what it is, wine works well for my needs
[14:53] <em_> i did it early
[14:53] <em_> "i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386"
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> em_  the question being?
[14:54] <em_> i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386
[14:54] <L3top> That is not detailed enough to help you em_. "a problem" is not descriptive enough to troubleshoot
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> em_  what kind of problem?
[14:55] <em_> well the sound card works fine in windows but not in ubuntu...
[14:55] <em_> work only the self integrated speaker
[14:55] <auronandace> em_: check alsamixer
[14:56] <Agent069> !ciao
[14:56] <Agent069> !list
[14:56] <Agent069> hello
[14:56] <Agent069> !list
[14:57] <auronandace> Agent069: go away
[14:57] <Agent069> !hello
[14:57] <DJones> !piracy | Agent069
[14:57] <em_> auronandace, how do i check it
[14:57] <auronandace> em_: open a terminal and type: alsamixer
[14:58] <auronandace> em_: any MM means a channel is muted
[14:59] <colock> yeah, almost perfectly on first run :]
[14:59] <colock> should just fix the kayboard layout preseed config and i'm done. Well next step is to create a custom kubuntu-alternate-11.10-amd64 livecd with the custom isolinux config :P
[15:00] <em_> no it's now working
[15:00] <em_> got a Realtek ALC260   sound card
[15:00] <colock> hopefully, i can make a fully automated vbox install with just 700 MB to download (vbox config ~ 1MB, iso ~ 700MB)
[15:01] <em_> and the very bad news is that even not the integrated one not wokring
[15:04] <retnan> at times modem just doesnt show up. is there a commandline equivalent to force-start it?
[15:04] <retnan> the modem works only is you reboot and that sucks
[15:04] <onicrom> Hi All, Can anyone tell me if there is a ptpv2(IEEE 1588) client available for ubuntu?
[15:09] <zeref> hi guys, is it possible to port an appliation to Quickly?
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> zeref  Quickly is shell for Glade / python
[15:10] <Agent069> !hi
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> kind of
[15:10] <retnan> zeref: depends on the number of OS specific calls made
[15:10] <Agent069> !hello
[15:10] <Agent069> ciao
[15:10] <smartboyhw> Go to #ubuntu-meeting now
[15:10] <Agent069> !list
[15:11] <zeref> MonkeyDust:  retnan: i've created an app (glade and python) but now i'd like to build it into a .deb file.
[15:11] <zeref> can i build it with quickly?
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> zeref  you're seeing it wrong, quickly uses glade to create python apps, i guess this is what you want: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html
[15:14] <ubuntumepls> I never understood how i should install flash player on linux since the tar gz archive has no executable to run
[15:14] <ubuntumepls> same for all the other software that is archived
[15:15] <zeref> ahh, thanks MonkeyDust
[15:15] <zeref> i understand now
[15:24] <Jon--> VLC error "It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:MPEG I/II Layer 3." what package do I need to install for this?
[15:26] <uofm49426> i used ubuntu 64 bit and w7 64 bit have 4 gb dual channel i have a extra 2 gb not installed would you wait to install to 6 gb single channel or wait for 8 gb dual channel
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> uofm49426  what do you mean bu "channel"?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> by
[15:27] <uofm49426> dual channel
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> what's a dual channel?
[15:28] <Blazemore> Where data is written to two physical sticks of RAM simultaneously
[15:29] <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
[15:31] <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)
[15:32] <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
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <uofm49426> well my motherboard max is 8
[15:35] <ssta> then put in 8
[15:35] <uofm49426> its a m3n78-pro
[15:35] <ssta> RAM is cheap
[15:35] <uofm49426> asus
[15:35] <mi3> I can surf the internet and download torrents even behind a firewall, I use ufw, can someone suggest why thats possible ?  I have only allowed ssh, all other ports are closed.
[15:35] <ssta> and it's probably the best performance increase per unit-cost you can get
[15:35] <darksifer> hi everyone. i know this is off topic but is there something like http://wayback.archive.org/ which archives old version of webpages. this one has 24 jul 2011 as the last recorded snapshots. thank you
[15:36] <gopostal> any good hardware recovery tools on ubuntu?

[15:36] <MonkeyDust> !recover| gopostal

[15:36] <uofm49426> i just asking if you would go single channel because you have a extra stick or wait for 8 gbdual channel
[15:37] <CharlieSu> Hi all.  I'm running 12.04 and seem to be having a problem w/ my servers running 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3   but not with my servers running 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2.  How can I downgrade w/ APT?
[15:37] <gopostal> thanks :)
[15:37] <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] <kyentei> voor = for
[15:38] <CharlieSu> MonkeyDust: that is fine.. How do I do it?
[15:38] <mi3> umm, anyone ?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  guess you won't find much advice on how to harm your system
[15:39] <CharlieSu> MonkeyDust: brand new system..  not production.. i just want to try..
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  start from the beginning, what are you doing and what goes wrong, maybe there's another solution
[15:41] <Blazemore> CharlieSu: If you don't mind breaking your system, go ahead and try it. My advice would be: only change one thing at a time
[15:41] <CharlieSu> Blazemore: ok.. how do i downgrade tho?  I can't figure it out
[15:48] <gopostal> what options do i have when my computer doesnt see my harddisk? it starts spinning but then stops and wont be mounted, can i force this or anything for recovery
[15:49] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Is it not listed with `sudo fdisk -l` ?
[15:50] <wildcat86> greets, need help updating my kernel.
[15:50] <wildcat86> I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I'd like to update to 3.3.6... my computers having freezing issues.
[15:50] <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?
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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
[15:53] <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?
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <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
[15:57] <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
[15:58] <bharath_> Blazemore: why do I need a shortcut?
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:02] <ssh-1138> Hi
[16:02] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Try it on a different machine, with a different cord if possible
[16:02] <ssh-1138> oh wait, I was here.
[16:02] <ssh-1138> My ubuntu keeps freezing if my ethernet cord is out.
[16:02] <ssh-1138> can someone help?
[16:02] <gopostal> NewWorld, i did try that
[16:03] <ssh-1138> I have it plugged in now, and its fine.
[16:04] <gopostal> NewWorld, does it mean that theres noway i can recover my data?
[16:04] <NewWorld> gopostal:  If the hardware is busted you could take it to a recovery specialist, but their services aren't cheap
[16:05] <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)
[16:06] <gopostal> NewWorld, oke its worth a try :) and to open up the disk?
[16:07] <ssta> don't open up the disk...you'll definitely lose teh data then
[16:07] <gopostal> ssta, oke thanks
[16:07] <gopostal> NewWorld, thanks for the help i will try the freezer :)
[16:08] <NewWorld> gopostal:  OK, please google this method to see what others have said about it. There should be more info
[16:09] <deathtech> gopostal : Make sure to put it in the bag. Also, if you purchase a new one, stay leery of Seagate drives. some are just fine. in my experience a lot more fail.
[16:09] <kai__> Seagate are great for me, I've had 2 westen digital drives fail on me :/. Quess that why lol
[16:09] <NewWorld> gopostal:  And a _sealed_ bag so no moisture enters
[16:10] <kai__> ive been using this seagate drive for 3 years no problems
[16:10] <Lebby11> lol ... i read the freezer ...
[16:10] <ssta> drives fail...all drives fail...this is why we need backups :)
[16:10] <deathtech> Yeah, WD isnt MUCH better, ive just had more luck i guess vs SG.
[16:10] <kai__> deja dup
[16:10] <kai__> good auto backup
[16:10] <deathtech> l2backup ? :)
[16:10] <alvesjnr> Hi all. I want to use portuguese characters (as ã, ç, á ... etc) on my linux terminal (ctrl+alt+F1). Any help on it? I don't know even where to start
[16:11] <BluesKaj> kai__, odd my seagate died but 3 WD are sr=till in service , one is 7 yrs old
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> alvesjnr  have you asked in the portuguese or brazilian channel?
[16:11] <gopostal> oke thanks all
[16:11] <alvesjnr> MonkeyDust, oops, didn't even though about that
[16:11] <Lebby11> hey ... it useless! in I.T. freezer solve all problems ... broken hard drives, borken mother board ( first cooked and then freezed ), broken graghical boarrd, old laptop batteries ...
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> !pt| alvesjnr
[16:12] <kai__> It's good to keep your very improtant stuffs in cloud stroage like dropbox (and dare i say it MIcrosoft Skydrive), Also keeping a manual and auto backup is good
[16:12] <NewWorld> Lebby11:  lol, how do you cook components?
[16:13] <alvesjnr> MonkeyDust, did it. Tks
[16:13] <Lebby11> NewWorld:  not me ... but i've read than you can "repair" some motherboard by cooking in oven ...
[16:13] <NewWorld> xD
[16:13] <kai__> BluesKaj Yea I'm not to worried about WD Drives, I think those were killed by a power surge by a failing power supply
[16:13] <ssta> only for a very small number of solder related faults...generally it's easier to bin it and replace
[16:14] <Lebby11> i think that are legends like freezer, yety, bigfoot, el chupacabra ... only that is I.T. legends ...
[16:14] <kai__> Story is BACKUP and when they fall REPLACE

[16:14] <Case_> Hello Everyone,  I am having trouble with Dell OMSA I was hoping someone could help.   After installing it, it seems to work, however if I try to do anything in sudo it says the commands are not found (They work outside of Sudo)
[16:15] <OMGUBUNTU> Sometimes google can;t help huh
[16:15] <BluesKaj> kai__, ahh  ok , that's how my mobo died I think , but the HDD survived .
[16:15] <Case_> OMGUBUNTU tried googleing extensively, nothing comes up of use.
[16:15] <OMGUBUNTU> Like i said, GOogle isnt always the greatest
[16:16] <Case_> "sudo: omreport: command not found "  Well I am nto sure about that
[16:16] <OMGUBUNTU> try "sudo apt-get update
[16:16] <Case_> Sometimes, you just don't know the question to ask the almighty oracles of google.
[16:16] <OMGUBUNTU> try sudo apt-get update
[16:16] <Case_> I have done that several times today OMG
[16:17] <Case_> works just fine
[16:17] <Case_> (Did it just now again)
[16:17] <OMGUBUNTU> Did i solve it?
[16:17] <Case_> It's still processing, I tried this earlier and it did not.
[16:17] <OMGUBUNTU> try something else say "sudo apt-get install dropbox"
[16:17] <Lebby11> Case_:  i don't understand your problem ... can you explain better?
[16:18] <ussaine> hoo
[16:18] <ussaine> salut a tous
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> Im quessing yout just having terminal problems
[16:18] <Case_> Lebby11, I installed Dell OMSA  today to update firmware and the BIOS
[16:18] <Case_> The commands such as omreport work when your a normal user.  If you are in Root they do not.
[16:18] <Case_> It says command not found
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> you install ubuntu ON a dell?
[16:18] <Case_> "sudo: omreport: command not found "
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> or dell omsa ON ubuntu
[16:19] <OMGUBUNTU> thats probly a no longer supported command
[16:19] <Case_> 12.04
[16:19] <OMGUBUNTU> yes yes im sure we're all using it
[16:19] <Case_> OMGUBUNTU it works outside of root
[16:19] <Guest93675> sudo help?
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> Well are you using root terminal? Such as on debian there is terminal and root terminal
[16:20] <Case_> It's server
[16:20] <Case_> so sudo su
[16:20] <Case_> or sudo (command)
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> ubuntu server 12.04?
[16:20] <Case_> Yes
[16:20] <Case_> Here
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> Well thats differnt to the desktop ubuntu i'd think
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> I haven't had much experience with ubuntu server
[16:21] <Case_> Server: omreport  omreport         Reports component properties.  Usage: omreport <command...>  [name=value...] ... [option...]  Valid command line options are:  -?               Print available commands. -outc <file>     Redirect output to file, delete old if exists.   OR -outa <file>     Redirect output to file, append to old if exists.   OR Output may also be redirected using Operating System facilities (e.g. |more). Server:~$ sudo 
[16:21] <OMGUBUNTU> Why not bing it?
[16:21] <OMGUBUNTU> BING
[16:21] <zh> Case_: You might want to ask in #ubuntu-server as well

[16:23] <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.

[16:34] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to lock up right after I choose to install ubuntu, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though
[16:35] <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'
[16:36] <lazarus_> is there any way to make ubuntu re run the hardware detection
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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?
[16:39] <zh> sorrymyeng: I didn't, but I went to "Main Menu" and found "Document Viewer," then click the properties button.
[16:39] <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] <zh> s/click/clicked
[16:39] <gvo> sorrymyeng: In the about box there is a link to www.gnome.projects/evince
[16:40] <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.
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <gvo> Quakky: And for safety's sake I would do it from a live cd/dvd.  There is a gparted cd you can burn.
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <NewWorld> gvo:  he said he wants to format the drive, so I assumed it's not his root
[16:44] <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
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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.
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <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`)
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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.
[16:52] <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] <sorrymyeng> i need it for install new LaTeX modulers

[16:53] <GirlyGirl> Hi I am trying to do screen panning via xrandr, it works but the mouse is constrained by invisble boundaries of the native resolution .. the exact problem here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118999  Please help as this issue is there for a long time and is really annoying.

[16:53] <Ryoshia> I'm having an issue with Ubuntu not recognizing my Laptop's Screen
[16:53] <roasted_> ssta, I see. I'm not familiar with upstart... I'll have to look further into it.
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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> I also tried Sudo GDM and Sudo Lightdm
[16:57] <gvo> Ryoshia: ALso "dmesg | more" and look for possible errors.
[16:57] <Ryoshia> Nvidia GTX 360M
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> Ryoshia: Switchable graphics ?
[16:58] <Ryoshia> no
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> aka optimus
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> Is this with nouveau or nvidia drivers
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <NewWorld> Ryoshia:  If it's complaining about the DISPLAY variable, what happens when you try `DISPLAY=:0.0 && startx`?
[17:01] <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] <gvo> "kernel " command line.
[17:02] <Ryoshia> the funny thing though is when I got done with the installation.. instead of using the User Name I chose it used my computer's windows name
[17:02] <DannyKB30> Hi
[17:03] <Ryoshia> which makes me think it might be something with the installation too not just the video drivers..
[17:03] <Mr_Kaizer> Hmm, I think my internet speed has become a bit more unstable since I upgraded from 11.10 :/
[17:04] <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

[17:28] <ishan> actually its not.
[17:28] <ishan> intitially it was detecting
[17:28] <ishan> have tried on windows

[17:29] <ishan> then i read somewhere to do some changes in wvdial

[17:31] <mneptok> ishan: undo what you did with wvdial. test it in a Live session.
[17:31] <ishan> alright man...
[17:31] <ishan> thanks for the help
[17:31] <krozzbeatz> anybody familiar with ubuntu studio audio interface issue?
[17:32] <Gnea> gvo: yeah, but I shouldn't HAVE to recompile it.
[17:33] <gvo> gnea: do a apt-cache policy subversion and find out what version you have and where it came from.
[17:34] <Gnea> gvo: I already did that to gnome-keyring, found a forum thread that suggests removing it is the only solution.  since I don't use the standard ubuntu desktop (I use E17), this shouldn't have a major impact.  I will check svn dependencies when it's done.

[17:36] <Radiarc> I've got a Dell vostro 1400, but one of the two headphones jacks is broken; the other one puts out sound through both the headphones and the built-in speakers
[17:36] <Gnea> gvo: wc == wordcount
[17:36] <Gnea> great, I removed it and now... p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:37] <test9994> Hmmmm... Pidgin won't connect to the ubuntu or freenode servers. Think it's an issue with my router/firewall? I'm currently using web-based interface.
[17:39] <gvo> gnea: You're running a strange version of svn.
[17:39] <Gnea> gvo: Version: 1.6.17dfsg-3ubuntu3
[17:40] <Gnea> gvo: it's straight out of 12.04
[17:40] <gvo> Where did it come from?
[17:41] <Gnea> gvo: the standard 12.04 repositories
[17:42] <samster34> L3top: yoes, sorry I left yesterday, it seemed like you were busy
[17:42] <beygi> i have some pattern in a file like this : {add} , {remove} and some files : add.txt , remove.txt which is the best solution for replacing patterns with file content (shell script)?
[17:42] <gvo> Gnea: If you've have run the apt-cache command I'd know exactly...  Anyway temporarily mv the .subversion directory somewhere and try it again.
[17:42] <NewNNux> Hi... Installing 12.04 (my first attempt at Linux) and I'm having some trouble... Is anyone available for a little help please?
[17:43] <L3top> Yes I was spread a bit too thin samster34... and as you went to reinstall I went away to have dinner and be yelled at by my wife. I am a little tied up atm as well. If you are around this evening I will be free.
[17:44] <zh> !ask | NewNNux
[17:44] <samster34> L3top: what time is it where you are now?
[17:45] <test9994> How do I get it to stop telling me who has joined/quit? lol
[17:45] <L3top> 1:44pm samster34. I should be free between 5 and 6. In the meantime I will generate an xorg.conf when I get a few minutes.
[17:45] <L3top> depends on your irc client test9994
[17:46] <Pici> test9994: Your previous question may be better for #freenode, as the Ubuntu and freenode servers are in fact, the same irc network.  You may be getting an error that pidgin is not displaying that is preventing you from connecting.
[17:46] <samster34> L3top: thanks, see you later then :)
[17:46] <NewNNux> Ok... My installation process is blocked at the 'preparing libgoa 1.0', and it's been one hour now... Should I start over or wait? Thanks!
[17:48] <gvo> NewNNux: Unless you're running on a 286, I suspect you're stuck. Try again.
[17:48] <NewNNux> Ok Thank you gvo! i'm gonna start over! buy
[17:50] <Kruptein> Hi sometimes if I try to maximize a window by either clicking the symbol or by dragging it to the top of the screen it gets maximized to the wrong screen (dual screen setup) this is only sometimes and can happen to some programs at the same time others don't have this problem.    ubuntu 12.04 + unity btw.  Someone an idea?
[17:51] <thrillERboy> Hi, If I want to connect to my buddy's ubuntu via remote desktop, what should I do?
[17:52] <thrillERboy> I want to connect to another ubuntu machine over Internet (not local network) via remote desktop. What should I do? Mine is ubuntu machine too.
[17:52] <NewWorld> thrillERboy:  Search for a guide. there are dozens, i'm sure
[17:52] <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] <CharlieSu> Anyone know why I'd be getting this NMBD erorr?  https://gist.github.com/dfd579a2a6fcd80fb3b3
[17:53] <gvo> Benkinooby: weak cmos battery?
[17:53] <Benkinooby> gvo, as i said, my hardware clock is alright
[17:54] <Benkinooby> gvo, my hardware clock is my bios clock... it goes as it should. but my system time is gone mad
[17:54] <Gnea> gvo: no dice
[17:54] <gvo> Benkinooby: OK Sound like the system is missing/gaining cpu cycles.
[17:55] <gvo> Gnea: OK maybe it's got something to do with the repository?  Svn works fine for me without attempting a ring access.
[17:55] <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] <gvo> Benkinooby: It shouldn't vary in any case.
[17:55] <ozozo> i'm having trouble with the wifi of another computer; after upgrading every thing, it looks like i can't use the wifi anymore (kubuntu 12.04) i can't enable it on my network manager
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: does it occur after you sync sys to hardware clock?
[17:56] <gvo> ozozo Broadcom chip by any chance?
[17:56] <Benkinooby> gvo, SolarisBoy i am resetting the system time several times a day with "sudo hwclock -s"
[17:56] <ozozo> gvo: how can i know?
[17:57] <gvo> ozozo sudo lspci
[17:57] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, gvo all i want is the system time to stick to the hw-clock
[17:57] <L3top> ozozo: lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)'    might be a bit quicker.
[17:57] <SolarisBoy> you may want -w Benkinooby
[17:57] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, gvo sadly i can't really fix the first occurance of that problem
[17:57] <gvo> L3top: Thanks
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> meh nevermind Benkinooby confusled myself
[17:58] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, why that? the hw-clock is the good one - the system clock is bad
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: ^^ last reply
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: anything in the logs indicative of CPU or other hardware errors? stack traces etc?
[17:59] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, how can i find out?
[17:59] <Womkes> Anybody here that uses Skype for Ubuntu. When I open a chat window it is completely maximized on my screen. I see no minimize or resize buttons and I have to alt tab to get to another screen
[17:59] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, let me paste demsg, messages and syslog, ok?
[17:59] <Womkes> anybody know how I can resize my skype chat window?
[17:59] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: sure - im at work ill take a glance though
[17:59] <gvo> Gnea: That's a long shot,however but I'm grasping at straws here.

[18:02] <pmdz> Hi @all. I bought dell xps 13 few days ago, installled 64bit version of ubuntu on it, changed kernel to 3.2.0-29-generic #46+kamal5~DellXPS-Ubuntu. Only 3275MB ram is available on my machine (4096MB in bios). Any ideas?
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: yep thats how i started searching for time.. i don't see anything that jumps out me.. yet.
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> also only checked dmesg file so far.

[18:05] <ozozo> gvo: i'm on kde, it's a network management widget if i understand correctly
[18:05] <gvo> So when you click on the widget does it show the wireless not connected?
[18:05] <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] <Benkinooby> er automated changes
[18:06] <ubuhelp2012> hello, i recently installed wubi 12.04 on my windows 7 machine and for some reason one of my hard-drives is not showing up, can someone help?
[18:06] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, might be that the problem is much easier though :P

[18:06] <L3top> yes sorry
[18:06] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: whats your kernel version?

[18:07] <ozozo> (nor acer)
[18:07] <Benkinooby> sorry for spam
[18:08] <trism> djzn_: interesting, have to look at the mate code and see what they (or gnome2) did differently
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: what release of ubuntu? im seeing talks that this is addressed in a kernel update
[18:08] <pheonixash> pmdz: not sure then
[18:08] <L3top> ozozo: sorry, what type of machine is this?
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: im not aware of ubuntu's method of syncing hw to sys clock
[18:08] <djzn_> trism: it's basically the same code, because I get this same behaviour on debian
[18:08] <ozozo> L3top: a Toshiba Satellite
[18:09] <djzn_> trism: there is something from GTK3 or something else bringing in to the issue
[18:09] <pmdz> pheonixash: ok, thanks

[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, 'man hwclock' look for 'NOTES'
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: lol ok
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, this part explains the idea behind the clocks and how they work and interfer
[18:11] <trism> djzn_: I dropped all the patches on the quantal gtk3 package and still had the problem, so I'm still trying to narrow down where to look
[18:11] <L3top> ozozo: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973863
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: thanks - i was looking for a good read today also =)
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, might be that i am "overinterpreting" all this
[18:11] <L3top> gvo: I was thinking of blacklisting it till I realized it wasnt an acer... lol
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, sorry
[18:12] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: possible =) why sorry? no worries Benkinooby
[18:12] <ubuhelp2012> can someone help??

[18:12] <SolarisBoy> its noted a few times there that the error is fixed in a later kernel version
[18:13] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  In terminal find it with `fdisk -l` then use `mount` to mount it
[18:14] <ozozo> i'll do -f instead =)
[18:14] <djzn_> trism: notice that this setup didn't have anything, just a bare system.... X11 and MATE.... it didn't have compiz either.... could compiz make some influence over any DE running from LightDM ?
[18:14] <gvo> ozozo: I suspect the author meant modprobe -r
[18:15] <trism> djzn_: I wouldn't think so, it isn't even running in the metacity session and I see it there too
[18:15] <L3top> ozozo: I think that is supposed to recursively unload modules tied to it
[18:15] <ozozo> gvo: :( don't know what any of that mean, i think i shouldn't have done rmmod -r, now i can't wlan0 up; how can i fix that?
[18:15] <gvo> sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
[18:15] <ubuhelp2012> Newworld: http://pastebin.com/8NEhE7zD doesn't seem to want to mount, any ideas?
[18:16] <L3top> ozozo: it has removed the module stack. They will need to be reloaded afaict
[18:16] <ozozo> L3top: i reboot my computer?
[18:16] <djzn_> trism: you said metacity?
[18:17] <djzn_> trism: MATE runs on 'marco'...
[18:17] <L3top> did you do the third line ozozo? sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
[18:17] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok, the problem seems similar
[18:17] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  For the mount command you have to give it a mount point (generally somewhere in /media )
[18:17] <dante123> hi all, having issues bringing up wired network on sons computer...it is a long story...wont go into unecessary details about uninstalling network manager and trying wicd for wireless....anyway....now going wired with nm-applet reinstalled....no connection at this point
[18:17] <trism> djzn_: oh oh, never mind I may be wrong, I just purged compiz on my quantal box and mouse is working fine (it removed unity and compiz so the bug seems to be there)
[18:17] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, but i am not sure if i can relate it to my problem in a usefull way... reading on...
[18:17] <dante123> need help with command line to get the network back up
[18:17] <dante123> pretty please
[18:17] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: agreed
[18:18] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: what do you mean?? what would mine be..  did you check pastebin?
[18:18] <SolarisBoy> i don't see a linking of time resetting to the issue - but I do know that APIC issues can definately affect time on your box - is the closest i have so far =)
[18:18] <dante123> ifconfig shows eth2 and lo
[18:18] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, also i think that my problem is a config problem
[18:18] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  yeah I did. `man mount` and you will see what parameters the command requires
[18:18] <dante123> but eth2 is not up and runnings
[18:18] <dante123> how to get it going via command line please
[18:19] <gvo> dante123: iwconfig -a ?
[18:19] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: what did you configure that ruins your time? is the best question i guess - hwclock is a binary non daemon and other than that you can set time manually or use something like ntp..
[18:19] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: so what did you do to persistently disrupt time?
[18:19] <dante123> no such device gvo
[18:19] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i have to admit that my ACPI might be not at it's best (my accu is very very weak - might be that it seens some wrong signals) but so far i found out that i don't  have to worry baout my hw-clock
[18:19] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: sorry im abit new.. :( dont really understand it..
[18:19] <dante123> we are going wired at this point with wireless card removed
[18:20] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i tried to figure that out too
[18:20] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: you don't have to worry about it because you don't have any time sensitive operations occuring or something?
[18:20] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: there may be some kernel settings you can add to your grub line to help - not sure which ones though
[18:20] <gvo> dante123: Hard to troubleshoot the problem with the card removed.
[18:20] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, the problem was not there all the time
[18:21] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: when did it start?
[18:21] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  In terminal, run `man mount` it will teach you how to use the "mount" command. In your pastebin mount command you didn't specify a mount point
[18:21] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i'd say within the last 30 days... that i noticed it
[18:21] <dante123> gvo, you dont understand....I dont want to use wireless anymore....I want a wired connection now....but cant get it up (that's what she said ;-)
[18:21] <NewWorld> haha
[18:22] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, after i read the man hwclock
[18:22] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: it didnt say a mount point in the fdisk -l  thing tho
[18:22] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, the line that speaks about using "date" during run time is a bad idea caught my attention
[18:23] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy,  It is important that the System Time not have any discontinuities such as would happen if you used the date(1L) program to set it while the system is running.
[18:23] <dougl> I did a sudo apt-get purge cups and sudo apt-get install cups to try to resolve a printing issue and now I cannot print to my samba printers on my xp machine - any thots?
[18:23] <trism> djzn_: hmm, I actually changed a bunch of things on this box today, and even reinstalling them, it still works, so I fixed it somehow without trying today, I'll need to reinstall and try again
[18:24] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  my friend, if you can't understand `man mount` you can google "how to mount a hard drive linux" it will show you step by step.
[18:24] <dougl> depending where I try to print a test page from I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found'. in kde setting manager and file not found in my http://localhost:631/

[18:25] <L3top> sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
[18:25] <kartlos> hey ubuntu ppl
[18:26] <dougl> How do I completely remove cups and all it's configs and other 'fluff' and reinstall it with all it's default values?
[18:26] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i thought about asking in the #debian channel as there are probably more server admin guy who know about time issues...
[18:26] <L3top> dougl: I would expect sudo apt-get remove --purge cups
[18:26] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: well i did try google already, reason why i came here was to get some direct help to get where i need to be, not so much be handed off
[18:27] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, but usually they are (understandably) annoyed when a ubuntu-problem is brought up to them
[18:27] <L3top> dougl: and then of course sudo apt-get install cups
[18:27] <ozozo> L3top: it says impossible because of RF-kill when i try to write your command and then sudo ifconfig wlan0 up :( (SIOCSIFFLAGS)
[18:27] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: figured you would have just gave me commands to do so via pastebins etc. so theres no confusion
[18:27] <dougl> L3top, will try
[18:27] <trism> djzn_: I had switched to lightdm-kde-greeter earlier, to see if kde had the bug too (but couldn't figure out how to change the cursor size), it seems that lightdm-kde-greeter is the reason it was working (switched back to unity-greeter and the bug is back)
[18:27] <kartlos> I want to use xmonad with 12.04, now I want to install dwm-tools so that I can use dmenu, but apt-get tells me the package has no installation candidate, anyone know whats wrong?
[18:28] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: says must specify filesystem type???? im lost
[18:28] <arrrghhh> hello I just installed 12.04, and 'gnome-settings-daemon' is taking a lot of CPU.  i kill it, and it settles for a bit... then comes back after 10 minutes or so.  what is this process?  why is it hogging all my CPU cycles?
[18:28] <L3top> ozozo: please paste the exact error
[18:29] <ozozo> L3top: it's in french i try to translate: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation impossible due to RF-kill
[18:29] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: http://pastebin.com/pm37TXrq thats where im at now
[18:29] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  You're not putting any effort into solving the problem. I told you `man mount`. In the manpage on the 1st page it says "The standard form of the mount command, is      mount -t type device dir" How can you miss that?
[18:29] <ozozo> (in french: Opération impossible du fait de RF-kill)
[18:29] <L3top> ah... thanks ozozo... pasting the EXACT error would have been a problem... lol
[18:29] <L3top> not so bad really.
[18:30] <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] <ozozo> i tried rebooting it didn't help
[18:31] <Pici> kartlos: It was removed before maverick came out, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dwm-tools/+publishinghistory
[18:31] <trism> djzn_: and switching to gdm the cursor resizing works as well
[18:31] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  OK so it tells you to use the '-t' option. In the man page you scroll down to where it describes '-t' and read))
[18:31] <trism> djzn_: odd
[18:32] <kartlos> Pici: thank you! do you know why it was removed? and how can I install dmenu for xmonad instead?
[18:32] <L3top> ozozo: didnt help what? You cannot modprobe until you bring wlan0 down and unload the modules... if you ahve rebooted then the modules were reloaded.. and you should be back to square 1
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: i'd really say look at kernel updates and your hardware
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> not only is the ACPI error it is also indicating something related to the battery
[18:32] <ozozo> L3top: ok let me try agian
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: but yes debian guys will be like that for the #ubuntu questions.. naturally
[18:33] <L3top> ozozo: dont use the -f or the -r switch ozozo.
[18:33] <ozozo> L3top: yes but it's too late now, i don't know how to repair that
[18:33] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i think this one might be more helpful for me http://askubuntu.com/questions/138916/why-is-ubuntus-clock-getting-slower-or-faster
[18:34] <L3top> ozozo: these changes are not persistent. Rebooting will always bring you back to square 1.
[18:34] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: http://pastebin.com/tDDJiHMS
[18:34] <ozozo> L3top: i still can't do "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"
[18:34] <ozozo> same error
[18:35] <ozozo> L3top: sudo rfkill list tells me: Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: yes

[18:36] <NewWorld> ohboy
[18:36] <ozozo> L3top: don't know why it's hardblocked :/
[18:37] <BluesKaj> splittsville!
[18:37] <ozozo> WOW
[18:37] <ozozo> just found a wifi switch on my keyboard
[18:37] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  you need to give -t a parameter ...... like the man page said. Did you even read the manpage?
[18:37] <Pici> !netsplot
[18:37] <Pici> !netsplit
[18:37] <thrillER1oy> shall I use remmina to connect to other ubuntu, whose desktop sharing is enabled?
[18:38] <KoHaku> Good lordy! .-.
[18:39] <gvo> dante123: Stick this in /etc/network/interfaces (add to what's there) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1127567/
[18:39] <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?
[18:40] <gvo> dante123: Yes sorry
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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] <wkhan113> How can I switch themes in 12.04. The minimise, close buttons are on the left hand side
[18:42] <dante123> its says reconfiguring.....but hasnt finished yet
[18:42] <gvo> dante123: As far as I can tell they do the same thing in 10.04
[18:42] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-session-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[18:42] <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] <dougl> after purging cups and reinstalling I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found' trying to print to my samba shared (win xp) printer - any suggestions?
[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
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <wkhan113> How can I switch themes in 12.04. The minimise, close buttons are on the left hand side
[18:44] <p0zh1e> SV
[18:44] <gvo> dante123: OK time to reboot just for kicks.
[18:44] <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?
[18:45] <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] <gvo> What model is the ethernet card?
[18:45] <dante123> rebooting
[18:45] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to lock up right after I choose to install ubuntu, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card
[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 =)
[18:46] <gvo> dante123: May be a speed or auto-negotiation issue too.
[18:47] <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?
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <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?!?!
[18:50] <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] <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
[18:51] <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] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, now all i want is to keep this config :D
[18:51] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[18:51] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok, thank you again for your cooperation
[18:52] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: anytime
[18:52] <dante123> gvo it said r8169                     48022  0
[18:53] <trism> djzn_: yes, cursor resizing is working for me if I use lightdm-kde-greeter or gdm in everything but compiz/unity, but not working if I use unity-greeter/lightdm-gtk-greeter/lightdm-webkit-greeter
[18:54] <dante123> thoughts gvo?
[18:54] <djzn_> trism: i told you it had somethign to do with lightdm
[18:54] <gvo> dante123: try sudo insmod r8168
[18:56] <dante123> gvo rebooted again....then will try that command
[18:56] <trism> djzn_: indeed, seems you were right, now the question is what does the kde greeter/gdm do right while the others don't
[18:57] <dante123> no such file or directory
[18:57] <dante123> gvo
[18:58] <djzn_> trism: theme code
[18:58] <doodman_> Quick Question
[18:58] <gvo> So you don't have the r8168 module
[18:58] <dante123> i guess not
[18:58] <dante123> that the message it returned
[18:58] <anon4942948> i have no idea
[18:58] <anon4942948> where's the "all programs" button
[18:59] <doodman_> ??????
[18:59] <gvo> You can download it from Realtek put it on a usb stick load it on the system and recompile it.
[18:59] <BluesKaj> i thought the module was r8169,  dante123 , gvo
[18:59] <doodman_> i am having a wireless problem
[18:59] <bazhang> !wifi | doodman_ have a read
[18:59] <gvo> BluesKaj: There seems to be two.
[19:00] <anon4942948> 12.04 made my wireless driver standard :3
[19:00] <dante123> lsmod | grep r81 returns r8169
[19:00] <gvo> BluesKaj: dante123  http://aplawrence.com/Linux/rtl811.html seems to think it should be r8168
[19:00] <doodman_> i am having a problem with my internel laptop wireless
[19:00] <BluesKaj> gvo, the r8169 modprobe worked for a user a few days ago , wonder if he had the same wifi chip
[19:01] <gvo> Not wifi
[19:01] <gvo> BluesKaj: It's wired.
[19:01] <bazhang> doodman_, please have a read of the link I gave you
[19:01] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[19:01] <gvo> BluesKaj: According to dante123 that is.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> right , sorry < i'm mistaken about wifi , now I recall it was ethernet
[19:02] <doodman_> it won't connect it only will keep asking me my password and not connecting i am having to use a wireless usb stick witch dosent work very fast at all.
[19:02] <gvo> dante123: when all else fails, sudo modprobe -a
[19:02] <BluesKaj> sudo modprobe r8169 can't hurt
[19:02] <gvo> agreed
[19:03] <Niker> Hello
[19:04] <Niker> is aaaas_ here
[19:04] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to hang right after I choose to install ubuntu, even rescue broken system hangs, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card, any idea what the problem might be?
[19:04] <dante123> gvo do you mean run sudo modprobe -a r8168
[19:05] <gvo> sudo modprobe r8169
[19:05] <dante123> then run insmod command??? gvo
[19:05] <Niker> i have a problem with my Xubuntu i think it is broken.
[19:05] <gvo> No just the modprobe
[19:06] <bazhang> !details | Niker
[19:06] <dante123> then what?
[19:06] <gvo> See if it works.
[19:06] <Niker> UBOTTU!
[19:06] <doodman_> go away Niker.
[19:06] <bazhang> Niker, give us some details
[19:06] <Niker> Nay
[19:07] <bazhang> doodman_, thats not helpful
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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] <dante123> running restart now
[19:08] <gvo> dante123: OK
[19:08] <Niker> Hey do you want to play basketball
[19:09] <bazhang> !ot | Niker
[19:09] <dante123> it came back with OK
[19:09] <dante123> now what?
[19:09] <Niker> red letters are mean
[19:09] <gvo> dante123: Is it working?
[19:09] <bazhang> Niker, thats enough
[19:10] <dante123> no, but I think we need to bring network up manually through command line
[19:10] <Niker> Your letters are red
[19:10] <gvo> OK try it.
[19:11] <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!
[19:12] <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?!?!
[19:13] <dante123> gvo?
[19:13] <gvo> dante123: Outside of my experience.
[19:13] <dante123> ok, well thanks for trying
[19:14] <arrrghhh> dante123, avahi is a zeroconf autodiscovery tool
[19:14] <arrrghhh> dante123, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29
[19:15] <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.
[19:16] <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 ^^
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <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?
[19:19] <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.
[19:20] <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
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <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 :-)
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <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.
[19:25] <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] <dante123> nm-applet has greyed out 'wired' and 'device not managed'.....any ideas what to do?
[19:26] <arrrghhh> compiz-fusion maybe?  sorry.
[19:26] <djzn> bazhang, that's what I am arguing...
[19:27] <dante123> okay gvo.....substituted a different cable...and suddenly it is working
[19:27] <arrrghhh> djzn, it's my fault.  misinformation from my end, again i apologize.
[19:27] <scientes> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[19:27] <scientes>  xubuntu-desktop : Depends: nvidia-common
[19:27] <scientes> WTF!
[19:27] <djzn> arrrghhh, you tried trolling, didn't you
[19:27] <Kroach> does anyone here use an ASUS K70IC?
[19:27] <arrrghhh> djzn, no... i genuinely thought that was the case.  it must've been compiz-fusion i got mixed up with.
[19:28] <arrrghhh> i'd like to think i can troll better than that.
[19:28] <arrrghhh> :P
[19:28] <djzn> arrrghhh, they are the same thing.... it's beryl that was something else... but nevermind...
[19:28] <arrrghhh> but seriously, does anyone know why gnome-session-daemon would peg my processor?
[19:28] <jiffe98> is there a way to get verbose information on the ubuntu install?  it is hanging right after I choose 'install ubuntu' from the main screen and I am trying to figure out why
[19:29] <dante123> gvo it is now working
[19:29] <arrrghhh> djzn, yes compiz-fusion is dead.  now part of compiz.  perhaps i was thinking beryl... sorry.
[19:29] <djzn> arrrghhh, enough...
[19:29] <djzn> LOL
[19:30] <Mathuin> I'm using precise pangolin and a couple of applications which try to use the entire screen (0 AD in particular) fail because the top panel won't go away.  How can I fix this?
[19:31] <Mathuin> It would be nice if the top panel could auto-hide.
[19:31] <smokie> hey guys, can anyone help me out on how to run a batch file on  reboot?
[19:32] <zosky> hey yall. i've almost got a home presence script working, help plz. i can send sendswake-on to everything when ubuntu-server finds me @home. i found a dbus command that works ( http://pastie.org/4385503 ), but i get "not autherized" when trying with SSH on the server. how to give my server uPower autherization to hibernate the desktop ?
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> startup programs
[19:32] <zykotick9> Mathuin: try the same program in unity2 (or something else that doesn't use compiz)
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> smokie go to startup programs
[19:32] <smokie> OMGUBUNTU, i mean in ubuntu server, forgot to mention that
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> smokie and browse to it, Should work
[19:32] <J3f> how to desactivate unity ?
[19:32] <J3f> i hate unity
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> install gnome-shell or something of that sort
[19:33] <bazhang> !notunity | J3f
[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?

[19:34] <J3f> i use 12.04 i need desactivate unity and install evant :D
[19:34] <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?
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <OMGUBUNTU> #NamesIWouldNameMyChild Oops < I love twitter
[19:37] <arrrghhh> i guess i'll install xfce.  what a mess.
[19:38] <Mathuin> Giving it  a try!
[19:38] <imanc> on 12.04 how can i disable the password so i don't have to entrer it after the screen goes blank?
[19:39] <pb> you mean lock screen?
[19:39] <scientes> imanc, turn off "lock screen when screensaver is activated" in system settings
[19:39] <arooni-mobile> having trouble with sslcerts.  i have this error message when i run: openssl s_client -connect www.magicpresspass.com:443 ==> "depth=1 CN = OpenVPN Web CA 2012.01.15 16:11:48 PST li25-146; verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain"  how do i find and delete this cert?
[19:39] <pb> ^^ what he said
[19:39] <J3f> i can apt-get purge --remove unity ?
[19:39] <xangua> J3f: better not
[19:39] <J3f> uhmm k ty
[19:39] <bazhang> J3f, did you read the notunity info?
[19:40] <bazhang> arooni-mobile, how is that related to ubuntu support
[19:40] <imanc> scientes: fantastic - thanks
[19:40] <J3f> i can try desactiv in coompiz ?
[19:40] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc You can have auto login but you will still be promped for passwords
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> bazhang, i'm runnning ubuntu
[19:40] <xangua> J3f: that's why unity 2d is for
[19:40] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc Its security
[19:40] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: yeh, i set auto login - but stsill found it wanted a pwd when re-awakening it.  Fine to enter the password when requiring sudo
[19:40] <J3f> i hate unity xd i like more evant
[19:41] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc You can disable locking of the screen when screen turns off
[19:41] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: already done - thanks anyway
[19:42] <OMGUBUNTU> I mean I don't have auto login or any of that, I can type my password in under 3 seconds lol
[19:42] <OMGUBUNTU> I have a short one for my desktop
[19:42] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: I have a pretty decnet fingerprint scanner, but it's still hassle
[19:43] <pb> idk what type of passwords you use but I can always type mine in uder 3 seconds.. less there like 15 characters
[19:43] <imanc> mine is 6
[19:43] <imanc> err 7
[19:43] <pb> oh yea? any caps or numbers?
[19:43] <imanc> all lower case
[19:43] <imanc> and i'm a fairly quick typist
[19:43] <imanc> but still, it's hassle
[19:43] <pb> ohh. whats the first letter?
[19:44] <imanc> h
[19:44] <pb> lol
[19:44] <bazhang> !ot
[19:45] <pb> it was relevant
[19:45] <imanc> i thought you were going to do a mentalism trick and guess it
[19:45] <bazhang> pb lets move on
[19:46] <imanc> can anyone think of any downsides to using gnome with 12.04?
[19:47] <ashka> not really, no
[19:48] <Joustin> When installing 12.04 can you change the default drive
[19:48] <imanc> ok, cool - i'm going back :)
[19:49] <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.
[19:50] <ashka> Joustin: sure you can
[19:50] <Joustin> I didn't think it would be an issue, helping a new user via remote
[19:55] <belgianguy> err my WiFi led is flashing in 12.04 all of the sudden
[19:56] <belgianguy> what can I do to make it stop
[19:56] <samster34> L3top: whoa
[19:56] <samster34> L3top: I think I may have gotten it working
[19:56] <L3top> samster34: I would love a rundown in PM
[19:56] <belgianguy> (it usually was orange when not in use, and blue when in use)
[20:00] <belgianguy> nm El goog fixed it
[20:02] <lonnie> how do I get Ubuntu Server 12.04 to automount usb devices?
[20:02] <lonnie> desktop does this, but not server.
[20:05] <epinky> lonnie: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/automount.8.html
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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?
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <smokie> bazhang, a script that will run certain commands at startup
[20:10] <bazhang> smokie, what commands exactly. please be very clear.
[20:11] <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.?
[20:12] <smokie> drostie, i dont know exactly what that means, im still not that savvy with ubuntu server
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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.
[20:15] <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.
[20:16] <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?
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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`.
[20:19] <drostie> smokie: or, for that matter, check out `man service` so that you can invoke it the same way that you invoke native commands.
[20:20] <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?
[20:21] <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
[20:23] <smokie> drostie, alright, ill give that a try
[20:24] <RadSurfer> HEY! why does 'apt-get install xchat' FAIL as not found?
[20:24] <caixa> drostie, its the new desktop environment for chrome os
[20:25] <arrrghhh> RadSurfer, try xchat-gnome
[20:25] <bazhang> caixa, perhaps a PPA, its not supported here though
[20:25] <bazhang> RadSurfer, have you updated since installing
[20:25] <lonnie> Can anyone help me with this problem with USB on Server: http://serverfault.com/questions/414120/how-to-get-usb-devices-to-automount-in-ubuntu-12-04-server
[20:25] <RadSurfer> naturalled I did 'apt-get update'
[20:25] <bazhang> RadSurfer, please pastebin your sources.list
[20:26] <bazhang> !paste | RadSurfer
[20:31] <andrewx> DOES anyone know why I can not install ordinary Xchat? 'apt-get install xchat' should not fail? xchat-gnome is stupid
[20:31] <arrrghhh> lol
[20:31] <arrrghhh> i didn't realize it was different.
[20:31] <andrewx> seriously, whats going on here?
[20:32] <bazhang> andrewx, did you update? give us the sources.list please
[20:32] <bazhang> !pastebin | andrewx
[20:32] <andrewx> its whatever default repositories installer gives
[20:32] <bazhang> andrewx, pastebin please
[20:33] <thepumpkin> what run level do you recommend me to use if I want to execute a command after all the other upstarts have been booted?
[20:33] <bazhang> !runlevel | thepumpkin
[20:33] <wilee-nilee> andrewx, I have 12.04 xchat is installed stock, not gnome xchat
[20:34] <thepumpkin> bazhang: right, I'm creating a upstart .conf file and I want it to run a command when openssh server is loaded. any idea?
[20:34] <bazhang> wilee-nilee, it is? I thought that was empathy
[20:35] <wilee-nilee> bazhang, I believe it is, I don't remember installing it.
[20:35] <bazhang> !info xchat
[20:36] <bazhang> andrewx   cat /etc/apt/sources.list   ------> paste.ubuntu.com , save and give us the url
[20:36] <andrewx> pure nonsense "E: Couldn't find package xchat"
[20:37] <wilee-nilee> bazhang, I always install synaptic, I may have installed it, as I lok in my auto install list I see xchat so I probably did, my bad. ;(
[20:37] <bazhang> andrewx, stop repeating and give us the info please
[20:37] <andrewx> /etc/apt-get/     sources?
 andrewx   cat /etc/apt/sources.list   ------> paste.ubuntu.com , save and give us the url

[20:39] <HyPNoTiZeD> lol
[20:40] <bazhang> HyPNoTiZeD, lets move on please
[20:40] <HyPNoTiZeD> apologies

[20:46] <DarkLobster> Hi there. I'm trying to batch convert text files using http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4544669/batch-convert-latin-1-files-to-utf-8-using-iconv , but I get "iconv: can't open outfile: File or folder doesn't exist". I run it from src folder. Anyone knows how to fix?
[20:48] <multifake> Does anybody know a possible cause for apt-get update to fail getting Packages despite IMHO correct sources.list? Ending up with 404. The mirror only contains Packages.gz as I figured. Why is apt-get only requesting uncompressed Packages?
[20:48] <bazhang> multifake, which version of ubuntu. please give us a clearer error message via pastebin if more than a line long
[20:49] <bazhang> !paste| multifake
[20:49] <ardian> I want to install kde should I use apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or kde-full ?
[20:50] <multifake> it's natty. one significant err line: W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[20:51] <bazhang> multifake, does the error persist when trying other mirrors?
[20:51] <multifake> must say this is sort of a custom install. Yes persists with different mirror. None of them has "Packages".
[20:51] <RadSurfer> 12.04 is latest version? I should just get that I guess.
[20:52] <multifake> It's a Xen Dom0 under Debian squeeze, and running with a squeeze kernel for now
[20:52] <bazhang> multifake, debain? how is that related to ubuntu
[20:52] <brasidas> need to update /etc/network/interfaces file before networking starts,
[20:52] <brasidas> been down a long road of untangling upstart and init.d scripts but no success so far
[20:52] <bazhang> multifake, it's a hypervisor of ubuntu?
[20:53] <multifake> it's natty under squeeze
[20:53] <brasidas> any ideas?
[20:53] <multifake> made with xentools
[20:53] <bazhang> multifake, thats odd. the error should not happen regardless
[20:54] <multifake> I'm suspecting something is missing. It seems this is a very basic debootstrapped setup somehow. No tasksel ever run.
[20:55] <multifake> gzip is there though
[20:55] <multifake> (my first crude guess)
[20:58] <roninn> does anybody have heard about a problem that all the flash videos are blue, I just upgraded to the newest xubuntu and this happened
[20:59] <chuck_> good afternoon
[20:59] <zykotick9> roninn: right click a video, and disable hardware acceleration (in flash)
[21:01] <roninn> zykotick9, worked. what's wrong with the hardware acceleration :)
[21:01] <roninn> in new xubuntu
[21:01] <zykotick9> roninn: nvidia issue i believe
[21:02] <roninn> nvidia works as hard as possible to fuck up things with linux, right
[21:02] <L3top> nvidia/flash both point fingers at the other
[21:02] <roninn> :)
[21:02] <IdleOne> roninn: No cursing in here please
[21:02] <roninn> sorry
[21:03] <L3top> nvidia has the best support for linux of the bunch really roninn... that does not mean it is great support... but in contrast...
[21:04] <roninn> ok, good to know to favor nvidia in the future

[21:41] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to hang right after I choose to install ubuntu, even rescue broken system hangs, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card, any idea what the problem might be?
[21:42] <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.
[21:45] <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"
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <popsch> the constantly changing audio settings are the single thing that cause the most grief with them using Ubuntu
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <popsch> something like this: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26433/audio-switcher/
[21:50] <benassi> hello
[21:51] <benassi> anyone know anything about unlocking phones?

[21:51] <hydrox24> benassi: also, that seems offtopic, so please take it to the relevant channel. This one is for ubuntu support only.

[22:05] <sazawal> ubottu, sorry I meant gnome3 shell
[22:05] <sazawal> lol
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <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?
[22:07] <Praxi> how do I make a internet shortcut that I can burn to a CD and then give to someone.
[22:08] <hydrox24> davis776: try using the minimal install ISO
[22:11] <davis776> hydrox24: ok
[22:12] <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.
[22:13] <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?
[22:14] <W4sp> popsch: pacmd and pactl would be a good candidate though.

[22:22] <eamon111> How do I create a LiveUSB manually?
[22:23] <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.
[22:24] <eamon111> ActionParsnip: where could I get a "Precise ISO"? I only have access to windows at the moment.
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> !torrents
[22:25] <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?
[22:26] <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.
[22:27] <eccezziunalveram> what are the minimum requirements for ubuntu?
[22:28] <jiffe98> thats easy enough to google I think
[22:28] <popsch> W4sp, skype doesn't run with SUID
[22:29] <n2deep> eamon111: see http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <eamon111> n2deep: I only have windows at the moment. And no admin access.
[22:32] <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.
[22:33] <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.
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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] <lesshaste>  how can I install the pdfimport libreoffice extension for 3.5.4 on ubuntu lucid ?
[22:35] <lesshaste> I am using https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa to get libreoffice
[22:36] <eoss> anyone in here ever configure deluge for socks proxy?
[22:37] <n2deep> eoss: no, but I'd love to know how. I'm a big Deluge fan.
[22:38] <eoss> keep getting messages like this on the remote server: channel 66: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out
[22:38] <W4sp> popsch: On a side note just a reminder that you cannot SUID scripts.
[22:38] <popsch> W4sp, well, I just SUID /bin/bash                          (not seriously ;)
[22:38] <n2deep> eoss: have you take the daemon out of classic mode?
[22:39] <n2deep> eoss: have you enabled remote connections to the daemon?
[22:39] <eoss> n2deep: uhm, not sure
[22:40] <n2deep> eoss: try to connect from another machine running the standard gui first.
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <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!!
[22:42] <n2deep> eamon111: here is that cable for futerure referance: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156017
[22:42] <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.
[22:43] <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..
[22:44] <W4sp> popsch: Don't suid shells, mate.
[22:44] <trism> levis: yeah, me too
[22:44] <slayer101_> anyone know what fastest boot time ubuntu 12.04 has?
[22:44] <aaaas__> so i have some program changing one of my files and I want to know what that program is...is there any way to monitor this. lsof might work but it only happens once every 5 min and it would be hard to catch it just right.  watch with lsof doesn't seem to return the output maybe because Im grepping for a particular file?
[22:45] <levis> slayer101_: mine boot in 3-4 sec, maybe 5..never checked exactly
[22:45] <slayer101_> really?
[22:45] <slayer101_> levis: you using ssd tho?
[22:45] <levis> yeah, since I've migrated to ssd is very fast
[22:45] <levis> yes
[22:46] <Beltechs> hello... im having problems with a folder it has an x on it
[22:46] <W4sp> popsch: Will you get on with fighting the odds? As said I have OpenBSD and would need to swap my HDDs to get Ubuntu up. What wm do they use?
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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?
[22:48] <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)
[22:49] <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
[22:51] <slayer101_> levis: Wow, I heard about ssd's crashing.. Their supposed to be getting more stable tho :S
[22:52] <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 :-)
[22:53] <slayer101_> lol
[22:53] <slayer101_> i bet
[22:53] <dammy> I want to install lubuntu on my laptop... but I can't found 64 bits intel version....
[22:54] <dammy> where I can found it?
[22:54] <W4sp> popsch: <sigh> :-) Very welcome.
[22:54] <Auditor> 64 bit is available

[22:55] <Auditor> hi there is no intel 64bit all 64 buts are marked as AMD dammy
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> dammy: too hard?

[23:00] <Jordan_U> I'm looking for a simple video editor which will simply allow me to extract a certain portion of a video. What would you recommend?
[23:00] <manas_b> does anyone else have problems uploading to microsoft skydrive from ubuntu?

[23:14] <ahoneybun> hello everyone!
[23:14] <theshadowx> does someone know when valve will release steam for linux
[23:14] <smokie> if i run a bash file from rc.local, will it run with root access?
[23:14] <theshadowx> hiya
[23:15] <smokie> or do i have to do somthin to make it run with root access at boot?
[23:15] <theshadowx> I think it runs automatically  at boot
[23:16] <smokie> theshadowx, runs automatically as root at boot you mean?
[23:16] <ahoneybun> theshadowx, I do not believe they have set a release date
[23:17] <Daekdroom> !root
[23:17] <theshadowx> ok
[23:17] <romy_420> hi, today i added a second graphics card to my pc (1st: ati firepro v4800 - 2nd Radeon 6570). now dmesg and syslog conain such messages:
[23:17] <romy_420> [  964.685056] pcieport 0000:00:03.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=0018
[23:17] <romy_420> [  964.685066] pcieport 0000:00:03.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Li
[23:18] <hydrox24> romy_420: Make sure that the graphics card is seated properly?
[23:18] <romy_420> they flood my logs and the card is not working
[23:18] <hydrox24> romy_420: Also, I would have a go using just the new one to slim down what the error could be with.
[23:19] <theshadowx> smokie, why do you wanna know if it runs as root
[23:20] <smokie> theshadowx, cuz the bash im running has commands that require root access, but i got my answer though dude, thanks for trying
[23:21] <romy_420> hydrox24, ok, will check the seat, testing the new one alone is a lot of work, i'm glad my two monitor setup is running now after reinstalling the driver and other hassles, like 10 reboots or so :(
[23:21] <theshadowx> so could you share with us what you found
[23:22] <Aaton> is there a way to limit apt-get so it won't install some package based on the license of that software package?
[23:24] <Jordan_U> Aaton: What specifically are you trying to prevent being installed?
[23:24] <Aaton> AGPL Affero General Public License
[23:25] <Jordan_U> Aaton: Is there any particular reason that you don't want AGPL software to be installed? I think you might be misunderstanding the license.
[23:27] <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?
[23:27] <Jordan_U> Beltechs: What is the exact command you're running?
[23:28] <Beltechs> http://codetidy/3232/
[23:28] <Jordan_U> Beltechs: And the cd command you're running?
[23:30] <nmittal> how do i reinstall a package with apt-get
[23:30] <Aaton> well INAL but some lawyers aren't comfortable with the AGPL... There are ways to do this in RedHat (so I've been told).  If this was for my own stuff I wouldn't care.
[23:30] <beltechs_> cd /var/www/components/com_jforce
[23:30] <Jordan_U> beltechs_: And the output of that command?
[23:31] <beltechs_> ash: cd: /var/www/components/com_jforce: Permission denied
[23:32] <Jordan_U> beltechs_: That's very different from saying that the directory doesn't exist.
[23:32] <beltechs_> hang on let me find the command that said dir doesnt exist
[23:33] <Guest55672> Hi there, I want to be able to configure my system so that when I go "fullscreen" mode on a 4:3 application it remains 4:3 instead of stretching to fullscreen. How would I set this scaling?
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> beltechs_: is the folder executable by your user?
[23:36] <ahoneybun> beltechs_
[23:37] <Ly3s> hello
[23:37] <sn131678> Dont get Shi-IT stuck on ur shoes
[23:37] <ahoneybun> beltechs_, shoulds like su or sudo command
[23:43] <hydrox24> nmittal: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[23:45] <foobArrr> I'm just reporting a bug, I used ubuntu-bug. the bug report form ask for "lsb_release -dr" and "apt-cache policy pkgname". was this already gathered by ubuntu-bug or do I need to post in the bug report anyway?
[23:45] <romy_420> hydrox24, i refitted the card, rebooted (ofc), now the error msg is still flooding my logs. lshw and lspci see it right, amd ccc shows the specs, a connected monitor is showing white but opencl access fails
[23:46] <ejsarge> #cassandra
[23:48] <maxjezy> hello and welcome me everyone!
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> foobArrr: yes post the bug
[23:55] <Guest94830> when i installed ubuntu, i partitioned the hard drive with 4G for the system, 2G for swap, and 94G for storage
[23:55] <Guest94830> it says i have all that space available (94G) for saving still, yet have been installing programs
[23:56] <Guest94830> and it says i am running out of space
[23:56] <Guest94830> how do i get it to save to the other partition?
[23:56] <helpme5> hi
[23:56] <Guest94830> or do i need to reinstall th OS and repartition the hard drive altogether?
[23:57] <helpme5> hail !
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest94830: 4Gb for system isn't a lot dude..
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> !away . HardFu|AFK
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> !away > HardFu|AFK
[23:59] <Guest94830> it said 2.1G was the recommended size
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest43852: try running:  sudo apt-get clean
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest94830: also uninstall unused apps
