| Degorth | gvo: what do you mean | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| gvo | Degorth: What version of Ubuntu? | 00:00 |
| Degorth | gvo: 12.04 LTS | 00:00 |
| Degorth | gvo: running kernel 3.5 | 00:00 |
| === treaverhoerig is now known as TrevMyster | ||
| TrevMyster | Can someone tell me how to make Windows 7 seamless while using virtual box to run it? | 00:01 |
| gvo | Degorth: OK so who knows how to get to the equivalent of System/Administration/Hardware drivers on the piece of trash 120.4 has fostered on us? | 00:01 |
| tomreyn | TrevMyster: install the virtual box guest addons on it | 00:02 |
| Degorth | trying to install Nvidia drivers through Additional Drivers gives an error, and trying to go to the command shell to close the X Server for Nvidia's installer leaves me with a blank screen | 00:03 |
| tomreyn | gvo: do you mean jockey-gtk ? | 00:03 |
| gvo | Degorth: what error | 00:03 |
| Degorth | gvo: it points me to a log file, let me look | 00:04 |
| gvo | tomreyn: I have no idea, I refuse to install 12.03 | 00:04 |
| gvo | 12.04 Is a piece of trash. As is unity. | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | gvo: jockey-gtk is the 'Additional drivers' screen | 00:04 |
| gvo | tomreyn: Thanks. | 00:04 |
| gvo | I guess Degorth has found it. | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | gvo: i'm happy with 12.04 besides of the general direction ubuntu is taking since i've switched to xubuntu | 00:05 |
| gvo | tomreyn: I understand. | 00:06 |
| Degorth | gvo: I tried it again to generate the log file but it doesn't seem to be making it anymore, though the error still happens | 00:08 |
| Degorth | it's saying there should be a file called jockey.log in /var/log but there isn't one | 00:08 |
| gvo | wonderful. | 00:09 |
| gvo | So to get to a terminal window, you can Ctrl-Alt-F1, to get back to a gui you can use ALT-F7 (maybe> | 00:10 |
| === wad_ is now known as wad | ||
| Degorth | gvo: when I ctrl+alt+F1 it drops me into a blank screen | 00:11 |
| ekaj | Type something. | 00:11 |
| gvo | Right | 00:11 |
| Degorth | I found the log file, I guess it writes it when you close the program instead of when it actually refers to it | 00:11 |
| HermanDE | Hello world. What is the beer flavor of the day? | 00:12 |
| ekaj | Anyone know when they will fix the "no 1920x1080" resolution bug? | 00:12 |
| gvo | !ot|HermanDE | 00:12 |
| ubottu | HermanDE: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:12 |
| Degorth | gvo: here's the log, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1129855/ | 00:13 |
| hogehige | test | 00:17 |
| gvo | Degorth: This might be the cause http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57781-NVIDIA-drivers-for-GeForce-7300LE-in-Kubuntu-12-04-Beta-1 | 00:17 |
| gvo | Otherwise I don't have a clue | 00:17 |
| keithclark | I'm trying to get the video capture feature of youtube to work for me but I get a Flash Players settings box come up that asks me to allow access but I cannot check any of the boxes to enable the feature. Any way around this? | 00:18 |
| Degorth | gvo: I guess the driver isn't compatible with kernel 3.5 then since this only started happening when I upgraded | 00:20 |
| gvo | That's not surprising. | 00:21 |
| kantian | keithclark: of course, you might save yourself a lot of trouble by using a program from the ubuntu repositories called youtube-dl (that is, youtube downloader) | 00:22 |
| kantian | which runs in a terminal and uses wget | 00:22 |
| keithclark | kantian, how to capture in the first place though? I tried VLC but it gives me some kind of audio feedback and locks up my computer. | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | gvo: the proprietary drivers usually take a while to adjust to updated kernel ABIs. | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | actually that was for Degorth ^ | 00:23 |
| cyphin | does anyone know why my HDMI sound driver won't show up in alsamixer? | 00:24 |
| kantian | keithclark: you simply put the URL for the youtube video in the terminal command | 00:24 |
| Degorth | so then is there a way to set up multiple monitors without the drivers? | 00:24 |
| kantian | and youtube-dl does all the rest for you | 00:24 |
| keithclark | kantian, maybe you misunderstood. I want to upload video. I wanted to use youtube to capture video. | 00:24 |
| gvo | tomreyn: Yep | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: looks like he misunderstood. and left. this bug has been around for a good while, and adobe seems to have more important things to deal with. | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | cyphin, you may want to check your exact chipset at the forums and askubuntu.com for my GF108 (i think) i had to install the pavcontrol tool and twiddle with it.. then when i rebooted it started working.. not sure why, ive had to do this on the last 3 releases including 12.10 | 00:26 |
| keithclark | tomreyn, ah, got you. Is there some application that will record video for me? | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | bbl | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: you could file a bug report or search existing bug reports for workarounds, if any. | 00:27 |
| hogehige | test | 00:27 |
| hogehige | quit | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: of course, plenty. i'm not so much into this srea, though. what do you plan to record? | 00:27 |
| cyphin | i have a ati hd 7750 how would i find the chipset? | 00:27 |
| keithclark | tomreyn, just video on my netbook | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: are you looking for something like a desktop recorder, i.e. to record what you are doing on your screen? | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: or do you want to capture from your webcam or similar? | 00:28 |
| keithclark | tomreyn, webcam | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | keithclark: try cheese for starters, but there can be something better, i'm really not into that. | 00:30 |
| keithclark | tomreyn, no problem at all. Thanks and I'll start there. | 00:30 |
| tomreyn | you can search the software repository for 'webcam' or 'video recording' | 00:31 |
| Degorth | apparently some nvidia driver is still installed on this machine since the X server control program is still there, how do I delete it completely? | 00:31 |
| tomreyn | cyphin: something like this should tell: lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA | 00:32 |
| blackshirt | check it if nvidia still installed, you should sure if still there | 00:33 |
| Degorth | it appears to be deactivated in Additional Drivers but the X server settings program is still here | 00:33 |
| Luid | My wireless only works 50% of the time when I boot up my laptop, can someone please help me? | 00:33 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get purge nvidia\* && echo -e "\n\nstatus: $?" | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: and tell me what it says in the last line | 00:34 |
| blackshirt | luid, what you mean with only worj 50%? | 00:34 |
| Luid | Well, I booted up my laptop and the wireless didn't work, but sometimes it does :/ | 00:34 |
| Luid | Like it's not starting up something correctly | 00:35 |
| blackshirt | luid, what your wifi card? | 00:35 |
| addon | when iam trying to run a bash command via terminal it i dont have the permission needed what should i do to gain it? | 00:36 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: if it says "status: 0" then you: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.orig} | 00:36 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 00:36 |
| Luid | What command is that? Sorry | 00:36 |
| addon | Luid:are you talking to me? | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: close any other software which is using the package management system, such as synaptic, aptitude, jockey (the add-on driver installer) | 00:37 |
| addon | Luid:for installing adobe flash player ./libflashplayer.so | 00:37 |
| blackshirt | luid, you can use lspci command? And look at neteork/wifi controller | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: and redo the whole line | 00:37 |
| blackshirt | Luid, maybe some broadcomm or atheros chipset i think | 00:37 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: status: o | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> Degorth: if it says "status: 0" then you: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.orig} | 00:38 |
| Degorth | 0* | 00:38 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: okay now what | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | and then you logout and login again | 00:38 |
| Degorth | okay | 00:38 |
| Degorth | brb | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | hopefully | 00:39 |
| Luid | Blackshirt: 'Network controller: intel corporation PRO/ wireless 3945ABG [Golan]' | 00:39 |
| tomreyn | ;-) | 00:39 |
| Degorth | it wants me to reboot for updates | 00:39 |
| NastyNaz | is there any way to attach multiple sessions to one 'screen' ? e.g. can I connect to irssi on my server from more than one client simultaneously without detaching? | 00:39 |
| tomreyn | well, do it | 00:39 |
| Degorth | okay :v | 00:39 |
| Degorth | brb | 00:39 |
| tomreyn | NastyNaz: first user does 'screen' to start the session, second user does 'screen -x' to join it. | 00:40 |
| Luid | Any idea what could be wrong? | 00:40 |
| tomreyn | Luid: your ubuntu version is? | 00:42 |
| NastyNaz | tomreyn: OMFG THIS IS AWESOME. Thank you. Literally the best line I have read in irc all year. | 00:42 |
| Luid | Latest. 12.04 | 00:42 |
| addon | what are the location of the browser firefox plugins in nautilus? | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | NastyNaz: wow, sorry to hear that ;-) | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | NastyNaz: you know about man pages and all? | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | NastyNaz: i'm glad i could help, though | 00:43 |
| NastyNaz | tomreyn: yeah but usually they are too ofuscated to make any sense of | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | NastyNaz: well screen is a bit complex, i agree. look for "screen cheat sheet", possibly adding "GNU" on the web, you should find at least two good ones. | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | Luid: so sometimes it does not work at all after boot, and sometimes it works all the time? | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | Luid: or does it fail after some minutes of working fine? | 00:45 |
| NastyNaz | tomreyn: wow very useful, thanks. | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | yw | 00:45 |
| Luid | Tomreyn: Sometimes it works when I boot up (until I shutdown), sometimes it doesn't (until I keep restarting until it works) | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | Luid: but does it fail sometimes without rebooting while it worked for a while? | 00:46 |
| Luid | Nope, works until I shutdown. | 00:47 |
| tomreyn | Luid: do you know what a wireless kill switch is? | 00:47 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: after rebooting I get a black screen with the words 'could not write byte: broken pipe' on all of my monitors | 00:47 |
| Degorth | I'm in recovery mode right now | 00:47 |
| Luid | Tomreyn: the physical switch? If not, no | 00:47 |
| tomreyn | Luid: yes, a physical switch, i was wondering whether you accidentially switched it off there. | 00:48 |
| tomreyn | Luid: sounds lame, i know, but it's happened to many people before. | 00:48 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: hmm okay that's not so great. sounds like X crashed there. | 00:49 |
| Luid | Tomreyn: nah, that is on. I boot up, it works, i boot up, it doesn't. Like there is a chance factor for it to work... | 00:49 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: so what do I do then? | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: you mean X recovery mode, right? so you get the low resolution and slow and sketchy graphical desktop without acceleration? | 00:50 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: it looks normal right now, I just booted into recovery mode from GRUB and continued with normal boot | 00:50 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: if I don't do that it seems it comes up with the broken pipe, I tried it twice | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | Luid: hmm, can you check whether you have the linux-firmware package installed? dpkg -l linux-firmware | grep ^ii | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | Luid: if it outputs something then you already have it installed. | 00:51 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: it appears to get my resolution correctly, though it's underscanning a bit | 00:51 |
| Luid | Tomreyn: error, unknown option | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: okay so X fails when you boot up normally, but not when you boot up in recovery / single user mode. | 00:52 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: it appears that way | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | Degorth I think there must be more leftovers from the nvidea driver installed which we didn't remove, yet | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | I'll look up a how.to on cleaning up that mess properly | 00:53 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: it also tells me that it can't apply certain options to the screen (leftovers from Nvidia's driver when it was working and I had it configured to run three monitors) | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | Luid: try again, i think you had a typo there. it's dpkg, then dash and a lower case L | 00:54 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: would removing the xorg.conf help? | 00:54 |
| anonbit | anybody on know much about torrenting through a vpn? | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: you already moved it out of the way earlier, if you did as i suggested | 00:55 |
| Luid | Tomreyn: it output something. | 00:55 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: <tomreyn> Degorth: if it says "status: 0" then you: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.orig} | 00:55 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: I did that | 00:55 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: doing it now returns with no file or directory | 00:56 |

| TrevMyster | Search the Software Center for Deluge | 00:59 |
| nabil | how can I install it | 00:59 |
| TrevMyster | Thank you both(: I'm going to add those to the download que. Anything else? | 00:59 |

| TrevMyster | Now nabil go to your favorite torrent downloader site (Isohunt, Piratebay .etc) and just download away | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: okay, no output, so you have no nvidia* packages installed (but you may still have files in place which are not packaged). | 01:01 |
| TrevMyster | Does anyone know how I can improve Zynga Poker it laggs | 01:02 |
| nabil | TrevMyster: some sites require utorrent as it allows to keep track of ratio | 01:02 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: so what do I do then, I don't know where those files could be | 01:02 |
| TrevMyster | Nabil, trust me. uTorrent is only a bittorrent client. Any torrent client can keep track of ratios. | 01:03 |

| TrevMyster | It's all in the .torrent file | 01:04 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: nor do i, nor does your operating system. that's why using non-packaged software is bad. you used the nvidia driver you downloaded from nvidia.com right? | 01:04 |

| nabil | TrevMyster: can I use this path for downloaded files? /host/Users/Bonjour/Downloads | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: oh only using additional drivers, that's good actually, but then i can't explain the unclean state we're in. | 01:05 |

| Degorth | oh I'm supposed to reboot | 01:18 |
| Degorth | brb xD | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: check what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf now | 01:19 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: no file | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | Nicekiwi: open a terminal window, then type: kill $(pidof amarok) | 01:19 |
| Degorth | tomreyn: I only see xorg.conf.backup and xorg.conf.orig | 01:20 |
| Degorth | I haven't rebooted yet | 01:20 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: okay, is there a reference to 'nouveau' in xorg.conf.backup? | 01:20 |
| trism | djzn: figured out what lightdm-gtk-greeter, unity-greeter and compiz have in common, they all set the cursor on the root window, and I can fix the cursor after a resize by doing the same (I have no idea why doing that breaks resizing though) | 01:20 |
| tomreyn | Nicekiwi: if this does not work then do this instead: kill -9 $(pidof amarok) | 01:21 |

| tomreyn | Degorth: are you in recovery mode now? | 01:36 |
| Degorth | Tomreyn: yes, at the command shell | 01:36 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: sudo rm /var/log/Xorg.* && rm ~/.xsession-errors | 01:38 |
| Degorth | Tomreyn: done | 01:38 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: then reboot once more (sorry). it will again not work but you should be back to recovery mode. and then i need you to post some logfiles. | 01:38 |
| tomreyn | i mean graphical recovery should work | 01:39 |
| Degorth | Tomreyn: okay rebooting | 01:39 |

| Degorth | okay | 01:43 |
| tomreyn | can you remind me what the overall goal was, i guess i lost track a bit | 01:43 |

| felipe_Brz | can i use the same private key for more than one server? | 01:51 |

| glitsj16 | ub anon-proxy | 01:54 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: okay, i'm having a look. this will take a while and i'll ask some questions. first one: you're on ubuntu 12.04, right? you are using an updated kernel then. does this problem also occur with the relase version kernel? | 01:55 |
| Degorth | I'm running kernel 3.5 with Ubuntu 12.04, I haven't had this issue in the release kernel | 01:56 |
| Degorth | in the release kernel the driver installed properly | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Degorth, you want to awre of what is supported here the stock kernel is any other basically is not, but you may get help if you are lucky. ;) | 01:59 |

| Odra | Hello | 01:59 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||
| Odra | Is there a way to make my mouse pointer move at a constantspeed? | 01:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Odra, in relations to how fast you actually move it? | 02:00 |
| Odra | yes | 02:00 |
| Odra | Right now its "accelerating" | 02:00 |
| Odra | And it feels very werid to me | 02:00 |
| Odra | It takes too long to start and too long to stop | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Odra, meaning if you whip it fast it runs the same? | 02:01 |
| Odra | Yes | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Odra, I doubt it without a hack | 02:01 |
| Odra | What | 02:01 |
| Odra | Why | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Odra, it is supposed to move the cursor in relation to how fast you move the mouse | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | Odra, or be adjusted in the mouse settings | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | and or | 02:02 |
| Degorth | wilee-nilee, doesn't that also mean the mouse stops as soon as the mouse itself stops | 02:02 |
| Degorth | cursor* | 02:02 |
| Odra | It starts moving but then it drags | 02:03 |
| tomreyn | Degorth: okay then my guess is that the noveau X driver you have is just not compatible with the kenrle you have there. if you want updated kernel an accelerated (i.e. non VESA) X then try the xorg-edgers PPA | 02:03 |
| Odra | There is no "speed" setting | 02:03 |
| Odra | Only acceleration | 02:03 |
| Degorth | Odra, maybe the system is lagging? | 02:03 |
| Odra | That doesnt make sense | 02:03 |

| theadmin | cfhowlett: See my response to wilee-nilee too | 02:35 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu-studio: as ubuntustudio is built on xubuntu | 02:35 |
| myersg7 | I am not finding the Driver anywere | 02:35 |
| cfhowlett | theadmin: ah. for some reason my flash installed without issue - then again I installed extras & medibuntu? | 02:36 |
| wilee-nilee | theadmin, I have seen that with using the flashaid addon when a supposed beta is installed, runs it but shows missing plugins. | 02:36 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: FlashAid no longer exists. | 02:36 |

| cfhowlett | theadmin: entirely possible | 02:37 |
| theadmin | cfhowlett: Which is why I'm guessing to use the Adobe's repo. Works anyway. | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | theadmin, thanx had it still loaded, lol. | 02:37 |
| cfhowlett | myersg7: what happens when you try to install the printer without the drivers? | 02:37 |
| cfhowlett | theadmin: excellent advice there | 02:38 |
| ubuntu-studio | it works now thanks | 02:39 |
| myersg7 | how do I do that? Oh it ask me to select the printer from the list or provide the PPD file because it can't find it. | 02:39 |
| === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| theadmin | ubuntu-studio: Great | 02:39 |

| Unix-Dude | Hello moreno | 02:49 |
| moreno | Nada using Xchat just experimenting | 02:49 |
| moreno | Whats your client? | 02:49 |
| moreno | I also use AndChat | 02:49 |
| Unix-Dude | Xchat :) | 02:49 |
| Unix-Dude | Are you new to Linux? | 02:50 |
| moreno | It's pretty cool... question. What other way would there have been to find the channels with freenode server? | 02:50 |
| moreno | Yes I am. | 02:50 |
| theadmin | !alis | moreno | 02:50 |
| ubottu | moreno: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 02:50 |
| Degorth | I've been trying to get chatzilla working but it's being a pain | 02:50 |
| Unix-Dude | You can use /list | 02:50 |
| moreno | Yea I hear chatzilla is good client | 02:50 |
| theadmin | Unix-Dude: One does not simply use /list on Freenode :/ | 02:50 |
| diamonds | where are official torrents | 02:51 |
| Unix-Dude | Yea, chatzilla can be pretty annoying | 02:51 |
| moreno | I'm enjoying Xchat though | 02:51 |
| diamonds | for 12.04 | 02:51 |
| Unix-Dude | You can grep it haha | 02:51 |
| Degorth | I got it working in Mint just fine | 02:51 |
| Unix-Dude | Tho not in xchat i guess | 02:51 |

| diamonds | ty | 02:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yo, does anyone have a problem (in 12.04) where lightdm just loops after you proceed to log in? | 02:52 |
| TomM2 | So like. | 02:52 |
| TomM2 | Do LTS users get better support in here than non-LTS users? | 02:52 |
| moreno | Thanks UD | 02:52 |
| diamonds | should I have any trouble putting it on a DVD? | 02:52 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: That often happens when your user configs are messed up. Desktop stuff and the like. Create a new user, see if it works | 02:52 |
| diamonds | any diff. from CD? | 02:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | theadmin: OK | 02:52 |
| theadmin | TomM2: "better"? Nope. Longer. | 02:52 |
| cfhowlett | Diamonds y u no use USB? | 02:52 |
| TomM2 | theadmin, Oh so it means Long term support like for the OS not for actual support for problems? | 02:53 |
| TomM2 | I dun goofed. | 02:53 |
| TomM2 | That's why 8.04 LTS is still supported? | 02:53 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Well, "support" means 2 things: 1) Keeping the software repositories online, 2) Answering questions related to this version in the IRC/forums/etc | 02:53 |
| TomM2 | Ah. | 02:54 |
| diamonds | cfhowlett: just don't have one on hand | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | TomM2, only the server I believe | 02:54 |
| TomM2 | 10.10 = obsolete? | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TomM2: yes | 02:54 |
| TomM2 | Why is it only the .04 versions are LTS? | 02:54 |
| theadmin | TomM2: LTS come around every two years. And the scheme is "year.month". Canonical tends to release LTS'es in April, thus .04 | 02:54 |
| BlackAngelPR | here is the list https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 02:55 |
| cfhowlett | TomM2: sayeth Mark Shuttleworth; so shall it be written, so shall it be done. 04 forever. | 02:55 |
| trism | TomM2: 6.06 was LTS | 02:55 |
| TomM2 | Oh. | 02:55 |
| Linux_Guy | TomM2, not all 04s are LTS | 02:55 |
| TomM2 | I have never seen a .10 LTS | 02:55 |
| TomM2 | trism, There was a .06? | 02:55 |
| Linux_Guy | 0.04 was not and 11.04 was not an lts | 02:55 |
| diamonds | I have a 500gb usb drive | 02:55 |
| diamonds | can I use this? I'll try | 02:55 |
| TomM2 | I thought it was stuck to .04 and .10 | 02:55 |
| Linux_Guy | 9.04* | 02:56 |
| trism | TomM2: yeah, it was delayed two months | 02:56 |
| W4sp | cfhowlett: Thanks for the cookies. :-) | 02:56 |
| myersg7 | Can I use the Driver cd to install it using wine? | 02:56 |
| wilee-nilee | TomM2, actually the 8.04 server is eol | 02:56 |
| TomM2 | Ah. | 02:56 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Well, Ubuntu has a stable release schedule by now, once every 6 months (April and October), and LTS releases - once per two years, in April. | 02:56 |
| Linux_Guy | the .06 was in the early days. it's 04 and 10 | 02:56 |
| TomM2 | So 8.04 server will be dead soon? | 02:56 |
| theadmin | !hardy | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 02:56 |
| cfhowlett | TomM2: next year EOL | 02:56 |
| theadmin | TomM2: ^ | 02:56 |
| TomM2 | Ah. | 02:57 |
| diamonds | what is going on with this .torrent download... | 02:57 |
| TomM2 | How long do LTS's last? | 02:57 |
| myersg7 | 5 years | 02:57 |
| wilee-nilee | TomM2, 5 years now | 02:57 |
| diamonds | it looks like it's going to take several minutes o_O (to download the tracker) | 02:57 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Desktop - 3 years, Server - 5 | 02:57 |
| TomM2 | Ah. | 02:57 |
| theadmin | Or... huh | 02:57 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Never mind, they all last 5 years now :/ | 02:57 |
| TomM2 | What was the first version of Ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| diamonds | I'm down to 190 Bps and dropping | 02:57 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Which client are you using? | 02:57 |
| Linux_Guy | 5 for the offical ubuntu and kubuntu | 02:57 |
| diamonds | Chromium < theadmin | 02:58 |
| Linux_Guy | xubuntu is still only 3 and lubuntu is only 18 months last I read for it | 02:58 |
| diamonds | I'm d/ling the .torrent file via http | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica_ | theadmin: No sale on the new user thing. | 02:58 |
| theadmin | TomM2: 4.10 was the first, IIRC. | 02:58 |
| diamonds | OK it's done, something was wrong.... | 02:58 |
| TomM2 | Okay. | 02:58 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Oh geez... Here, let me find you another link :/ | 02:58 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Ah, never mind then | 02:58 |
| === SonikkuAmerica_ is now known as SonikkuAmerica | ||
| TomM2 | 4.10 still available on releases.ubuntu.com? | 02:58 |
| theadmin | TomM2: No, it *is* available on old-releases.ubuntu.com but it will not work properly (you won't be able to install any extra apps), repos are long down | 02:59 |
| TomM2 | Okay. | 02:59 |
| TomM2 | I will just be running it in a vm for testing. | 02:59 |
| Linux_Guy | why run such an old dist? | 03:00 |
| theadmin | Linux_Guy: For fun? Seeing the origins etc? | 03:00 |
| TomM2 | Linux_Guy, What theadmin said. | 03:00 |
| Linux_Guy | fair enoough :) | 03:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | theadmin: No sale on that suggestion. At least gdm works. | 03:01 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: Huh... Odd. | 03:01 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: Well, long as it works... | 03:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | It's a nice 10.04-ish April Fool's joke... XD | 03:01 |
| TomM2 | How did canonical find out about Linux? | 03:02 |
| diamonds | hrm | 03:02 |
| diamonds | I can't get my tracker to open these .torrent files :/ | 03:02 |
| diamonds | (transmission) | 03:02 |
| theadmin | What is the name of the network management tool Kubuntu uses? It would appear it's NetworkManager, but if I recall correctly, that has no KDE frontend. | 03:02 |
| W4sp | TomM2: Mind that there are no security patches anymore, and SSH v1 is flawed big time. | 03:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | theadmin: But if it's a user config error, shouldn't there be a way to manage it in [Users and Groups]? | 03:03 |
| TomM2 | W4sp, I won't be using ssh. | 03:03 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: Not necessarily... That doesn't let you manage all the ~/.* stuff | 03:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Or the *@(!&@*$^()(@^##*$, either. LOL | 03:03 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: Uh, I mean the hidden (config) files in your home directory. | 03:03 |
| diamonds | neither does deluge open it | 03:04 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: They start with ., and the common notation for the home directory in Linux is ~, so ~/.* | 03:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah ik, I was jokingly referring to the swear words one uses when they find out Ubuntu is looping itself. :-) | 03:04 |
| TomM2 | Is 12.04 worth it? or should I wait for 12.10? | 03:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TomM2: Get 12.04 but immediately put GNOME Fallback on it. | 03:04 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Totally worth it honestly, I downloaded it and was amazed at how much progress Ubuntu has made since the total failure called Lucid Lynx :/ | 03:04 |
| cfhowlett | TomM2: 12.04 is LTS and will be longer and better supported than 12.10 | 03:05 |
| Linux_Guy | 10.04 isn't that bad | 03:05 |
| TomM2 | I see. | 03:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh come on, 10.04 wasn't THAT bad was it? 10.10 was a fail. | 03:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | At least it wasn't LTS | 03:05 |
| theadmin | 10.04 was alright, but it totally failed with, like, half of the devices for me. Sound, graphics, network :/ | 03:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh. | 03:05 |
| * Linux_Guy has never had it fail on me :) | 03:05 | |
| TomM2 | Linux_Guy, I was on 10.04 then moved to 10.10 but flightgear was not supported at the latest version for 10.x | 03:06 |
| Linux_Guy | but everyone has varying mileage | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | TomM2: in fact, I've had a whole lot less angst, anger and issues by adopting and LTS only policy. But perhaps that's just me... | 03:06 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Ya know, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, FHDE, JWOFHDE, OIEHORIHWEPDE, and the like. :-) | 03:06 |
| TomM2 | Probably upgrade every time a new LTS comes out. | 03:06 |
| TrevMyster | Oh also I can't get NixNote to start up can someone help me with that too? | 03:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bltgl0w: There's always Bing. | 03:07 |
| TomM2 | If ubuntu was on KDE be default would Kubuntu be called Gubuntu? :P | 03:07 |
| theadmin | TomM2: Actually, they are developing a Gnome-based fork now, I think the name was "Gnobuntu". | 03:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TomM2: It should be, now that Ubuntu's default DE is Unity. | 03:07 |
| hydrox24 | b1tgl0w: try searching 'linux distributions -"rolling release"' | 03:08 |
| TomM2 | Ah. | 03:08 |

| theadmin | So any help on getting magnet links to open with Vuze? | 03:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I'm of the school that says Ubuntu and GNOME are inseparable. Canonical has just broken my heart. | 03:08 |
| hydrox24 | TomM2: I'm more than happy with GNOME-shell and would recommend it. | 03:09 |
| hydrox24 | SonikkuAmerica: Indeed. | 03:09 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: It was a sane choice considering how "featureful" the original GNOME3 release was, sadly. | 03:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Not to mention I absolutely hate lightdm. | 03:09 |
| TomM2 | I like how Microsoft is implementing the tablet feel to windows 8, Microsoft copied Ubuntu it's quite obvious. | 03:09 |
| TomM2 | hydrox24, I know. | 03:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Unity can run on my machine but GNOME 3 Shell can't. | 03:10 |
| TrevMyster | Could someone message me on how to get NixNote to work? It's something I really need. Also if you know how I can get Netflix working that would be great too. | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | theadmin: You mean featureLESS. I got the White Screen of Death. | 03:10 |
| theadmin | SonikkuAmerica: That's why I took it in quotes ;) | 03:10 |
| hydrox24 | TomM2: I don't like it, I think that Apple has it right, with having seperate interfaces for mobile and PC and then mixing the best bits. | 03:10 |
| hydrox24 | TomM2: But this needs to continue in !offtopic. | 03:10 |
| TomM2 | Does Ubuntu One sync from LAN? Cause it's easier to do it internally than externally? | 03:10 |
| TomM2 | Okay. | 03:10 |
| TomM2 | !offtopic | 03:10 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | But no Java or Flash on iOS devices and ::punches the Apple off the tree:: | 03:11 |
| Linux_Guy | netflix does not support linux and so far I've not seen it run on anything other than a boxee box, android tablet/phone or other proprietary item | 03:11 |

| ert | really? i doubt it. i've had it for less than a year. | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | ert: assume you're following the methods described on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | ert: also, you bought used? Cuz certain things will act screwy, e.g. my previously ihackintosh wouldn't display the windows partition when upgrading 10.04 to 12.04. Finally found that even though I had formatted the drive, the previous osx/gpt partition table rendered win7 invisible. | 03:40 |

| diamonds | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | diamonds: add the USB drive as an additional HDD and install ubuntu there OR use the USB drive as a startup disk medium instead like a cdrom or a USB | 03:57 |
| diamonds | I have the same freespace (incidentally) as they do in the example | 03:57 |

| Lollerblader | my ubuntu doesnt work, what do? | 04:06 |
| blueguy19 | @theadmin let me try doing that | 04:07 |
| theadmin | Lollerblader: Details | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | theadmin: plz correct me if I misspoke | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | vokevybez: note theadmin's feedback | 04:07 |
| Lollerblader | holdon | 04:07 |
| theadmin | cfhowlett: Well, I have no idea what you actually meant, but chmodding/chowning anything under /dev will actually give no result (even as root), because the stuff there is *not* a regular file/folder | 04:07 |
| Lollerblader | calling geeksquad | 04:07 |
| Odra | Hello | 04:08 |
| theadmin | cfhowlett: If you meant something along the lines of "mount -o defaults,rw /dev/sdz1 /mnt" then yeah, I guess that's the fix | 04:08 |
| Odra | How do I upgrade ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | theadmin: thanks. | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | Odra: what version are you currently running | 04:08 |
| Odra | Lucid | 04:08 |
| theadmin | Odra: Do you want to change the release to 12.04, or simply upgrade your software packages? | 04:09 |
| vokevybez | theadmin: so i need to mount the device manually then? | 04:09 |
| theadmin | vokevybez: *might* need to. I have no idea, automount fails on some devices. See also !fstab | 04:09 |
| Odra | I want to upgrade to 12.04, but my update manager only shows 10.10 | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | Odra: in your update manager, change settings to show LTS only and you should see 12.04 | 04:10 |
| Degorth | can anyone help me run chatzilla standalone on ubuntu 12.04? xulrunner doesn't seem to install and the program doesn't run | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | Odra: can't update 10.10 to 12.04 directly. | 04:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Odra backup and fresh install may be te most efficient way | 04:10 |
| Odra | cfhowlett: I changed the settings but it still shows 10.10 as the upgrade option | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | Odra: what monkeydust said +1 | 04:11 |
| theadmin | Odra: Open "software-properties-gtk" or "software-properties-kde" as root. Go to "Updates", find the release train setting (can't remember the actual name), set it to "Long-term support releases only". Apply. Run "update-manager -d" | 04:11 |
| blueguy19 | @theadmin how do I setup hdtv view? | 04:11 |
| blueguy19 | @theadmin in the nvidia x configuration? | 04:11 |
| theadmin | blueguy19: I dunno, I'm an AMD person (unfortunately :/ That's just how it ended up) | 04:11 |
| theadmin | blueguy19: Also get rid of the "@" in your messages, you're ruining my highlight | 04:12 |
| blueguy19 | ohk | 04:12 |
| blueguy19 | theadmin - I removed @ | 04:12 |
| theadmin | blueguy19: Appears to work now, thanks. | 04:12 |
| Odra | theadmin: It worked :O | 04:12 |
| theadmin | blueguy19: Anyway, what happens when you plug the HDMI cable in? | 04:12 |
| Odra | Thanks. bbl upgrading | 04:13 |
| vokevybez | theadmin:am supposed to add my device and resective mount points? | 04:13 |
| theadmin | vokevybez: Possibly so -- depends on whether automount works for the device or not. If not, add it to fstab with the desired mount options | 04:13 |
| vokevybez | theadmin: the device is supposed to auto-mount but these days i have to click it to mount it. | 04:15 |
| theadmin | vokevybez: Well, I think that's about as good | 04:15 |
| theadmin | Even better since sometimes automount is not what you want | 04:15 |
| vokevybez | theadmin:ok will add device to fstab | 04:16 |
| Boogeyman | dumb question, how do you open a terminal through cli? | 04:16 |
| wingnut2626 | hi all i have ubuntu host with a windows xp guest. What are the NAT settings to use so that i can use my wlan0 connection on the xp guest | 04:16 |
| blueguy19 | theadmin: not able to setup x server display settings | 04:16 |
| theadmin | vokevybez: Okay, add it like this: /dev/sdz1 /mnt ext4 defaults,rw 0 0 # That's the basic idea. "defaults,rw" is the mount option field here. Everything else should be self-explanatory. | 04:17 |
| theadmin | Boogeyman: Depends on what terminal you're using. In KDE, it's normally "konsole", in regular Ubuntu, "gnome-terminal". In Xubuntu, "xfce4-terminal" and finally in Lubuntu, "lxterm". | 04:17 |
| cfhowlett | Boogeyman: we have to go deeper to open a terminal IN a terminal ... | 04:17 |
| Boogeyman | gnome terminal, thats it, i'm making a shortcut for an unused button on my mouse | 04:18 |
| Boogeyman | thanks | 04:19 |

| blueguy19 | theadmin and when I mute the sound on notebook | 04:24 |
| blueguy19 | theadmin: it mutes hdtv as well | 04:24 |
| theadmin | blueguy19: Sorry, I have to be going now. Hope you figure it out. Check the Ubuntu Forums and askubuntu.com as well. | 04:24 |
