danielboston26PRabyte You can disable luks password prompt at boot by adding "rd_NO_LUKS" kernel flag to grub.conf00:00
PRabyteZzBomb: that leads me to the next question lol... i dont know how to create new volumes exactly in cmdline, usually i use a gui. im just trying to access this server via usb loaded with next os im going to load, the luks pw is stopping me00:00
lsoccer169aha I found an article on it but this is what I get00:00
lsoccer169GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu300:00
lsoccer169Minimal bash-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.00:00
danielboston26that comes from a fedora help file but im sure its not any different in ubuntu00:00

PRabytedanielboston26: yah!! where, grub.cfg? syntax please. thanks00:01
ZzBombPRabyte: for something like that I would likely use something like a live gparted disk to avoid the conflict of editing from the disk00:01
PRabytei read that a few moments ago, add it to /etc/default/grub right?00:01
PRabytethen update grub00:01
lsoccer169So I am going to read up on this and get back to you if I solve it00:02
TJ-lsoccer169: What does typing "ls" at the GRUB prompt report?00:02
danielboston26in /etc PRabyte00:02
ZzBombah that would be way easier00:02
PRabyteZzBomb: you cant load anything via usb or cd when luks is running00:02
PRabytedan i know its in etc00:02
PRabyteim saying syntax00:02
lsoccer169you know I did not try that00:02
ZzBombReally? I did not realize luks locks your bios?00:02
PRabyteZzBomb: it wont allow usb boot, i tried with 2 diff usb drives00:03
PRabyteluks is definitely doing its job00:03
PRabytejust want to disable, then i can wipe00:03
ZzBombWell that's assuming your using the boot loader to load your usb drives and not your bios00:03
ZzBombluks or anything like it should not prevent you from booting live disks00:03
PRabytedanielboston26: whats the syntax for rd_NO_LUKS? where to put in grub file00:04
PRabyteor a link howto00:04
PRabyteill look brb00:04
TJ-LUKS won't prevent reading anything that isn't encrypted with LUKS00:04
danielboston26PRabyte it doesn't say00:04
PRabytei know, lolol, thats the frustrating part00:04
PRabytepeople put up howtos, but they are incomplete00:05
PRabytejust do this or that,,, blah blah00:05
PRabyteill find it somewhere00:05
PRabytebrb00:05
PRabytehere is an ex: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-278046.html00:05
danielboston26ya i know it stinks00:05
PRabytebut thats fedora, might be little things not the same on ubuntu server and grub, they already changed the conf to cfg and put in defaults..00:06
PRabyteim old skool00:06
PRabytei just modified grub in /boot00:06
danielboston26PRabyte can you reformat the disk?00:06
PRabytecant do jack until i remove that passphrase00:06
PRabyteim going to try the http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-278046.html option00:07
TJ-PRabyte: Sounds like you've got full-disk encryption00:07
PRabyteopps rd_no_lucs00:07
PRabyteyah exactly00:07
PRabytemight have to break out my freebsd boot disks00:07
danielboston26did you forget your passphrase?00:07
PRabyteno i did not00:07
PRabyteits a test server, im going from 10 to 12.0400:08
caixaare the open source nvidia drivers any good00:08
PRabyteits basically a logger box00:08
danielboston26well if you know the passphrase unlock the disk then just reformat it00:08
PRabytei was just trying out luks, figured out lots of stuff today, but to remove, well, thats where we are at present00:08
myk_robinsonevening all. Need some help with Java and Chrome. I keep getting the error that Chrome could not load IcedTea-Web plugin00:08
danielboston26that will get rid of encrptyion00:08
PRabytegive me step by step, ill try it.00:09
TJ-PRabyte: So you'd boot the system normally, then find a small amount of spare disk space by shrinking existing file systems, then you can shrink the encrypted primary partition... then use the spare on the end of the disk to create a ~400MB /boot partition for the kernels, initrd, etc., boot using those then you've got room to move the other data around to create space to unencrypt the rest00:09
PRabytehow you would do it, your tools utils disks so forth syntax00:09
PRabyteTJ then delete it? there are still fstab and crypttab entries, and dmsetup stuff.. huh?00:09
ZzBombmyk_robinson: which releases are you using?00:09
PRabytethere is much more to luks than assumed00:10
PRabytebrb00:10
ZzBombmyk_robinson: and what is the context of when the error occurs? particular page or just always?00:10
myk_robinsonZzBomb: Ubuntu 12.04 and IcedTea 7 Plugin. I think I may have just found that a lot of people are having the same problem00:10
PRabytethanks, all input is greatly appreciated, im considering all options, trust me, you are not wasting your breath00:10
PRabytebr00:10
myk_robinsonZzBomb: as of late, any page that requires a Java plugin. Works fine in Firefox, seems to be isolated to Chrome, I cant even run the test page that checks to see if you have java00:10
TJ-PRabyte: It's a big job for even an expert... requires a lot of thinking about consquences. If you just want to do it easily, I'd recommend you attach a second unencrypted drive and use 'dd' to clone each of your unencrypted file-systems over to it.00:10
PRabytecorrect00:11
PRabytei dont really care about the data00:11
PRabytejust geting usb to boot new os00:11
PRabyte;)00:11
PRabytebrb00:11
TJ-PRabyte: When  I do encryption, I always do it per-file-system not whole-disk... makes things much more felxible00:11
myk_robinsonBug 103185700:11
ZzBombmyk_robinson: ah lame. I have not had an issues with my version. Although I think I am running an unstable chrome..... checking my details00:11

TJ-PRabyte: To boot from the USB, you likely need to go into the PC's BIOS configuration and change the boot order temporarily. If possible, remove the internal hard disk totally from the boot device search sequence.00:12
ZzBombmyk_robinson: ah nope, im running stable come. and iced tea 6. So I guess you could try switching down a version. 7 might just suck00:12
PRabyteTJ not the issue00:13
PRabytethanks00:13
PRabytebeen there00:13
myk_robinsonZzBomb: i thought that as well, although 7 used to work just fine. I uninstall, then try to install 6 and cant.. Let me try again so I can document the error message00:13
ZzBombmyk_robinson: good idea00:13
PRabytewhy the heck did ubuntu mess with grub confs...... my gawd00:13
myk_robinsonalthough looking at the bug report, it affects people iwth 6 too.00:13
ZzBombhm weird00:13
PRabytetake a simple thing and make it difficult. sheshhh00:13
myk_robinsonZzBomb: maybe you haven't updated, looks like this bug report popped up about 5 days ago after a java plugin update00:13
PRabytewth,,, 10_linux huh? why did they do that....00:14
ZzBombI just updated everything like 30 minutes ago. im on latest. But have not tried using the java plugin.... link me to a page with a jar? I honestly cant think of anything that I use that uses java... it's like the plague.00:14

* ZzBomb slaps Maser with a large trout01:20
wilee-nileeMaser, don't ask just state the problem. :)01:20
DarkAceZooooookay, how do I restart a process? kill and start? or is it easier? :P01:21
anlaryewilee-nilee: the actual name is handbrake-gtk and that installs via terminal01:22
wilee-nileeanlarye, cool. :)01:22
TJ-DarkAceZ: depends on the process... who is it owned by? is it a system service?01:23
DarkAceZnautilus01:23
anlaryewilee-nilee: maybe not. i tried it once before and it gets to about 30% of a dvd rip and then my computer shuts down01:24
DarkAceZit seems to randomly lock up, so I was going to assign a keyboard shortcut to restart it, only to find out I don't know how to restart a process, or if it's even possible...01:24
wilee-nileeanlarye, nopt sure I understand.01:24
wilee-nileenot*01:24
TJ-DarkAceZ: Use the "kill" command to send processes signals telling them to exit. You need the process id to use "kill" e.g. kill -TERM 1234. You can also use "killall <some-process-name>" e.g. killall nautilus01:25
dylanso, if I'm using my ethernet cable for internet, does that leave me free to use my internal wi-fi card thingy for other stuff?01:25
dylankill -9 is force kill01:25
DarkAceZTJ-, so there's no restart?01:25
dylanthat should restart it01:25
dylanyou could always write a short bash script01:25
anlaryewilee-nilee: i had handbrake installed but used the non shapshot PPA information, and i go to rip a DVD and everytime the DVD gets to about 30% of it ripped using handbrake my computer just turns completely off.01:26
dylanlike "ps axco pid,command | grep "potato" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -901:26
TJ-DarkAceZ: When things lock up it's always useful to check the system log files for indications as to the root cause... checking the most recently updated log files using "ls -ltr /var/log/" is first step, followed by viewing the last few entries of a log file with "tail -n 50 /var/log/<some-file>"01:26
anlaryeso now i'm going to try it with the snapshot version of the PPA instead and see if it crashes again.01:26
rypervencheanlarye: Are you looking at your computer's CPU temperature?01:26
wilee-nileeI would not use it to rip just convert.01:26
samholmesWhich image file should I use in VirtualBox for a ubuntu server?01:26
wilee-nileeat least I never have.01:26
anlaryerypervenche: no but i havent ever had any trouble with temp before .... where do i go to see its temp rypervenche ?01:27
TJ-DarkAceZ: You can send some process the SIGHUP which will tell them to reinit... but it depends on whether the process itself implements that behaviour on receiving SIGHUP. e.g. kill -HUP 123401:27
rypervencheanlarye: That depends on your hardware and kernel. The Ubuntu guys can help you with that.01:27

Oxnard_Dogghow can i get ubuntu 12.04  to  recognize my broadcom b43 wireless adpater?01:28
TJ-anlarye: Might be worth checking the kern.log for indications of system failures. Look back through it for the time/date when the PC died, see what it was doing just beforehand and whether there is anything obviously reporting an error. You can use "Log File Viewer" for that01:29
danielboston26need driver Oxnard_Doug01:29

sakortyhello02:03
tech1or "ls -a" if its a hidden folder, it shouldnt be though02:03
gr33n7007hSilverZ, my fault SilverZ its bz2 the command is: tar jxvf compat-wireless-3.5-1.tar.bz2       try again02:03

sakortyguys this might sound like a really dumb question to most of you but.... it sais here that i should click the light switch icon on the desktop menu then select control center, where is the light switch icon?02:05
tech1or you need to cd /something something02:05

zifnabfdisk can see it, i have no paritions on it02:05
tech1well if you didnt create the folder you wont see it02:06
zifnabwhat would cause this?02:06
SilverZi just placed it into a separate folder and I can't see the folder I put it in either02:06
gr33n7007h i gave him command first time for tar.gz the second was for tar.bz2 so second command will work02:07

SilverZokay, looks like it's doing stuff. that's about the best description I have right now02:22
TJ-bonhoeffer: check whether the device has mounted correctly. If there's a file-system error it won't mount. At a terminal first look for it by listing the mounts using "mount"02:22
bonhoefferit is /dev/sdc02:23
SilverZif this works and you're ever in SC, I'll buy you a beer02:23

bonhoefferi will try sudo mount  -t ext3 /dev/sdc /media/new_mount02:23
SilverZgr33n7007h even if it doesn't work02:23
TJ-bonhoeffer: If it doesn't show up there, then check the /var/log/kern.log file using "Log file viewer" looking for problems after plugging in the USB device02:23
gr33n7007hSilverZ, it might take a while when compiling02:23
TJ-bonhoeffer: Are you sure it's /sdc ... and not /sdc1 ? ... sdc implies the entire drive is a file-system with not paritition table02:24
blackshirtbonhoeffer,try to specify your device path exactly,maybe some  dev/sdc1, look it02:24

bonhoefferso i have to look at results, switch windows and remember what i saw02:27
bonhoefferGPT detected if that helps02:27
null1024sakorty: no idea, check the winehq database to see if it works in wine02:28
bonhoefferis in that output02:28
* null1024 hasn't tried it, because this laptop's video is terrible, and my other machine [which has better video] is a netbook02:28
TJ-bonhoeffer: You can "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then do "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit"02:28

sakortynull1024: well i tried looking on the forum and it said that i have to install wine and winetricks02:28
bonhoefferSystem is NOn-FS Data02:28
null1024sakorty: yes02:28
sakortynull1024: ok thanks  ^^02:29
TJ-bonhoeffer: What partition type is sdc2 ?02:29
null1024sakorty: wine should install winetricks automatically02:29
bonhoefferblackshirt, TJ- should be ext302:29
sakortynull1024: okay02:29
null1024sakorty: just sudo apt-get install wine-1.402:29
null1024and off you go02:29
TJ-bonhoeffer: I said partion type ... not file-system02:29
TJ-bonhoeffer: fdisk will show you the type02:29
bonhoefferbut sdc1 is GPT and sdc2 is Non-FS data02:29
bonhoeffersorry, is that what you want02:30
TJ-bonhoeffer: I think the GPT is why it's having a problem02:30
sakortynull1024: oh i was searching for the download on google  xD02:30
bonhoefferGuid partition table?02:30
null1024sakorty: there are packages on winehq, but installing it from the repo is easier02:31
TJ-bonhoeffer: so fdisk is showing type 'ee' ?02:31
bonhoefferonly for sdc102:31
bonhoefferda for sdc202:31
bonhoefferand sdc2 is where the big data are02:31
TJ-bonhoeffer: That's what I wanted, thanks02:31

TJ-bonhoeffer: In particular note the following:02:38
TJ-bonhoeffer: Set the first MBR partition type ee, as it is your GPT partition table.02:38
TJ-The second partition in MBR is your GPT table's first partition. We use this to store the Grub stageloader, so set the type to da meaning this is not a filesystem.02:38

onetwo__how to run league of legends from 12.04 kubuntu, its a game, help me pls, and how do i kill an app that runs in kubuntu02:40
bonhoefferi can try, but i guess i need to copy the image over to the computer using live cd or something -- so frustrating02:40
TJ-bonhoeffer: That page seems to suggest that with a GPT device, you need to fool fdisk  using the gptsync command and then fixing up the partition type numbers manually in fdisk02:40
=== aaaas is now known as aaas
SilverZgr33n7007h it also says if unsure, reboot02:41
bonhoefferi wonder why this is such a problem -- i just formatted the disk using live cd per the default02:41
TJ-bonhoeffer: It seems something selected, or the device already was, a GPT device, and that causes problems for finding the file-systems.02:42
null1024onetwo__: do you have wine installed?02:42
gr33n7007hSilverZ, dont reboot yet I've not done this in a while 1 sec02:42
SilverZgr33n7007h rgr, standing by02:42
Jordan_UTJ-: bonhoeffer: You do *not* want to use gptsync. "hybrid" MBRs are evil and should only be used when neccessary (which is pretty much only when Windows is involved).02:43
bonhoefferTJ-: so i need to read up on what a GPT device is, thanks for alerting me to the problem02:43
bonhoefferJordan_U: i can't mount my drive i formatted with 12.0402:43
bonhoefferi can read it if i load live cd on the original computer02:43
bonhoefferbut no other computers02:43
TJ-Jordan_U: Thanks for that... I did wonder... but its hard to explain how the device got GPTed in the first place to cause bonhoeffer this much aggro02:43
Jordan_Ubonhoeffer: Please run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and post the URL that it outputs here.02:43
bonhoefferJordan_U: i can't -- i have no mouse02:44
gr33n7007hSilverZ, what did sudo make install say02:44
Jordan_Ubonhoeffer: My instructions do not require a mouse.02:44
bonhoefferJordan_U: thanks for trying to help -- i don't have the keyboard skills to pastebin from terminal without a mouse02:44
Jordan_Ubonhoeffer: You might at most have to manually type the URL.02:44
gr33n7007hSilverZ, what did sudo make install say02:45
chasechai#list02:45
Jordan_Ubonhoeffer: Run the command I gave it quotes (remove the quotes before running it). It will either give you an error message that pastebinit is not installed, or it will output a URL. If it outputs a URL then tell us that URL.02:45

kbreitAm I able to use dhcpd to issue DHCP to all subnets except the one it is in?02:54
TJ-kbreit: great question! sounds implausible but I'll check02:55
kbreitTJ-: Thanks. I've been reading the configuration guides and can't find if I can or not. I could off course try.02:55
TJ-kbreit: The way I read it, for a multi-homed server, it'll only server sub-nets for which there is a subnet {} clause in the config02:56
kbreitTJ-: So I would put a shared-network group with the subnets I want in there, excluding the one it is attached to ?02:57
TJ-kbreit: This seems to say so: "A subnet declaration is required for every network your DHCP server is serving. Multiple subnets require multiple subnet declarations. If the DHCP server does not have a network interface in a range of a subnet declaration, the DHCP server does not serve that network. "02:58
kbreitTJ-: Where did you find that?02:58
TJ-kbreit: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sect-Configuring_a_Multihomed_DHCP_Server.html02:58
SilverZgr33n7007h, it worked but then it wouldn't let me reconnect to chat, I rebooted and now everything is back to how it was02:58
SilverZwireless not working02:58
TJ-SilverZ: You may need to modprobe the module again ... it may not have been loaded. You can check by doing "lsmod | grep XXX" where XXX is a string of characters in the module name02:59
SilverZTJ from the folder where the module is correct?03:00
TJ-SilverZ: to modprobe, you do " sudo modprobe b43"03:00
gr33n7007hSilverZ, show me the output of : /lib/modules/yourkernelversion/kernel/drivers/net/wireless03:00
TJ-SilverZ: No ... you've installed the module to the kernel's lib/ directory03:00
TJ-SilverZ: so modprobe will 'know' where to find the module03:01
SilverZgr33n7007h, how do I show the output of that again?03:02
gr33n7007hpastebin03:02
SilverZno, no, do I type that straight or cd before it? or ls ls- a ??03:03

reasearcher123why some sites are not opening on my pc namely facebook, way2sms etc.?03:52
Guest84917reasearcher123, can u elaborate on that?03:52
Sakortyhmm so what do i do about this problem?03:52
wilee-nileeGuest84917, the error suggests that just checking the possibilities with my walnut sized brain. ;)03:52
wilee-nileeSakorty, not sure I can get you an answer but stay on the channel.03:53
Sakortywilee-nilee, i guess ill go back and search the forums some more03:53
reasearcher123 All websites can open on my pc except a few one like www.facebook.com www.way2sms.com, www.tatasky.com etc.03:53
Guest84917wilee-nilee, and you're right, often those common 'walnut sized brain' scenarios are the ones that keep you banging your head to the wall until you realize that: "wait a minute! what if... are you using synaptic by chance?" lol03:54

reasearcher123im not behind any firewall03:57
Guest84917reasearcher123, some examples could be a school, an institute and so on03:57

davidrsmorrishey, I'm setting up Awesome under ubuntu, and right now, I'm trying to set up a volume control.  I'm using Delightful widgets, and the volume widget is PulseAudio.  Since ubuntu has used ALSA since the switch to Unity, I figure other Awesome wm users here feel my pain.  Has anyone solved this problem?03:59
Nach0zhey guys, got a question for you. Every time I connect to a new wifi network, my resolv.conf gets reverted and the nameserver is defined as "127.0.0.1", is there any way to make it STOP doing this? I'm fairly sure resetting the dns servers to localhost shouldn't be default behaviour.03:59
Guest84917Nach0z, master, esta es la mejor forma: you need to set the immutable bit04:00
Guest84917Nach0z, $ sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf will make the file immutable, that is, no one even root can change that file04:01
Nach0zhm. that might work. thanks04:02
Guest84917it's very common to have /etc/resolv.conf immutable if one uses his own set of dns servers, like opendns, google dns or level4304:02
Nach0zgoogledns ftw04:02
kill_boxanyone got experience on live-persistent usb's04:02
Guest84917in fact, i recommend using dns-crypt  with opendns so that way every query to dns will be encrypted from your isp04:03

mkquistKBentley57: oh yeah no go on installed from Nvidia driver04:08
Guest84917Nach0z, it's ubuntu dude, i see all kind of strange things happening here, lol04:08
KBentley57mkquist, what is the problem you are having exactly04:08
Guest38505NICK are04:09
somsipSo... sudo update-grub has been running for over 30 mins. Safe to CTRL-C or asking for trouble??04:09
mkquistKBentley57: at this point driver activated but not in use04:09
systemd0wnI'm attempting to cross compile some tools for arm. Any takers on a question or two?04:09
Guest84917reasearcher123, please open a console and do: $ cat /etc/hosts and tell me if you see facebook.com there04:09
Guest38505these are awesome questions, i have a dumb one unfortunately, related to a wireless NIC on 12.04 LTS04:09
somsipmkquist: is there an error [EE] entry in /var/log/Xorg.log that says 'Unable to load module nvidia'?04:10
KBentley57mkquist, did you uninstall the old driver first?04:10
reasearcher123got the messgae:no such file or directory04:11
Nach0zgahhhh. fuggit. now changes to dhclient.conf aren't being accepted04:11
Nach0zblarghl04:11
davidrsmorrissomsip: I wouldn't.  Are you running low on battery?04:11
Guest38505when i reboot, my wireless network is not recognized, but when i type "sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb", and "sudo modprobe b43" it starts to work again, i have a broadcom card in this laptop04:11
mkquistsomsip: no04:11
Guest84917reasearcher123, no wat, /etc/hosts must be there, try again04:11
Jordan_Usomsip: It's safe to ctrl+C, update-grub creates /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new and only overwrites /boot/grub/grub.cfg after finishing and confirming there are no syntax errors. You should figure out why it's hanging though.04:11
Guest84917$ cat /etc/hosts04:11
somsipJordan_U: you're a star. Thank you.04:12
reasearcher123yes got some lines out04:12
Jordan_Usomsip: You're welcome.04:12
somsipmkquist: any entries relating to nvidia module in the Xorg.log?04:12
reasearcher123please c here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1133698/04:12
mkquistKBentley57: ive gone so far as to purge nvidia-current and reinstall it04:12
somsipmkquist: I'm doing the same thing - was it upgrade to 295.40?04:13
KBentley57mkquist, I see.  Can you tell me the name of the nvidia card you have?  Just for reference04:13
mkquistKBentley57: 310M04:13
Guest84917reasearcher123, well, you have a fairly default hosts file so facebook isn't blocked thru it04:13
mkquistsomsip: is that the new one?04:13
KBentley57mkquist, is it a laptop with switchable graphics?04:13
mkquistKBentley57: yep04:13
Jordan_UNach0z: Is this happening with more than one wireless network (or wireless networks configured by different organisations)? The DHCP server may simply be configured incorrectly.04:13
reasearcher123true but still facebook problem remains04:14
mkquistKBentley57: worked before though just fine...04:14
somsipmkquist: last night for me. In my case, uname -r shows I'm running 3.2.0.26 but the module for that isn't being built "It is likely that 3.2.0-26-generic belongs to a chroot's host"04:14
Guest84917reasearcher123, moving next: can it be your ISP is blocking those sites? when was the last time you could succefully access those sites?04:14
mkquistKBentley57: I think this all started with trying to upgrade to the newer nvidia driver...04:14
reasearcher1232 weeks ago04:14
KBentley57mkquist, I think there is a bug with the newest driver, or something.  I recall reading about it maybe on slashdot or something similar?  Most of my experience is with amd cards04:14
somsipmkquist: so maybe worth sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current && uname -r to see if its the same for you04:14
Guest84917reasearcher123, there are multiple vector to take care when debugging such issues, but in this very case we can basically narrow them to a few:04:15
somsipKBentley57: version 1 of 295.40 had some bugs for some 8XXX cards reported around April, with the v1.1 supposedly fixing them04:15
reasearcher123ok?04:15
mkquistsomsip: already did that one, purged and reinstalled nvidia-current04:16
Guest84917reasearcher123, 1. proxy or firewall (you already said that's not the problem), 2. host file (we just saw it's clean), 3. browser: may be a recent update broke something?04:16
somsipmkquist: and were there any error messages? Like here http://pastebin.com/fscMNGEj04:16
reasearcher123possible04:16
reasearcher123cant figure out what04:16
Guest84917reasearcher123, did you try accessing with another browser? are you using any plugin that _potentially_ could block your web access?04:17
KBentley57mkquist, Somsip, can you revert to the older driver?04:17
reasearcher123google chrom n firefox both tried04:17
mkquistsomsip: nope04:17
somsipKBentley57: tried 295.33, even tried 302.17 (I think) from XUP PPA. It's not a driver issue per se, more that the module is not being build for my running kernel. But I'm not trying to thread hijack from mkquist here...04:18
somsipmkquist: ok - worth a try in case it was a similar error04:18
laumonierhi i ve done a new instalation and i have no sound on ubuntu (ive got a dual boot and on windows it works) need advice and help to fix this thx04:18

Jordan_UNach0z: Earlier you said "it changes depending on what wifi I'm attached to". What did you mean by that?04:20
somsipand is 'nvidia-current.ko' listed in /var/lib/{kernel}/updates/dkms ?04:21

Jordan_UNach0z: Also note that this is not actually the default behavior of network-manager (I have never seen this before, and if it were the default then very few people would have working internet). Something odd is going on.04:32
ImStandinghello04:33
ImStandingI need some support, anybody there?04:33
Nach0zJordan_U: aight.04:34
davidrsmorrisImStanding, go ahead with your questions.  Introductions are not expected on irc.04:34
Nach0zJordan_U: is it possible that something in the home directory could be influencing it?04:34
ImStandingdavidrsmorris I have an HP Pavilion ze4600 here and I can't get it to install ubuntu04:35
davidrsmorrisImStanding: will it boot the livecd?04:36
ImStandingI don't know what liveCD is.  Is that just the 32 bit cd I burned to the disc?04:36
davidrsmorrisImStanding: yes, if it was the approximately 700 mb image.04:37
aeon-ltdyeah04:37
ImStandingdavidrsmorris I don't know what liveCD is.  Is that just the 32 bit cd I burned to the disc?04:37
Jordan_UNach0z: Possible. Two things to try would be testing in the guest session (since it creates a new temporary home directory) and testing in a LiveCD (where *everything* is known to be default).04:37
ImStandingyeah, I am sure I did it correctly davidrsmorris.  I put in the CD and I get the purple ubuntu screen and then the colorful background, but then it just stays there and does not advance04:38
davidrsmorrisImStanding: are you on IRC on a separate machine?  Are you running Ubuntu from the disk?04:38
TJ-Nach0z: You might want to check "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" to see if it has "dns=dnsmasq", and if so, comment that line out04:38
ImStandingdavidrsmorris I am on a seperate laptop, and I have the problematic laptop next to me04:38
TJ-Nach0z: In 12.04 we switched to using dnsmasq as the default resolver. See http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/04:39
ImStandingdavidrsmorris yes I booted from the disk04:39
davidrsmorrisImStanding: Do you hear the disk moving when the purple screen (boot splash) comes on?  Do you hear it either stop or keep going at the same speed when it starts just staying?04:42
Jordan_UNach0z: It turns out I gave you bad information. TJ-'s link explains that 127.0.0.1 really is the default, and why. Sorry about that.04:42
ImStandingit has been making the same (annoying) noise the entire time.  I feel like it is still thinking/working haha... davidrsmorris04:42
Nach0zTJ-: thanks bud04:44
davidrsmorrisImStanding: I think it's stumped.  Try turning it off, and then when you see the purple screen, press Escape.  It should hopefully turn into a black background and start giving out lines of text.  When it gets stuck again, tell us what the line of text at the bottom of the screen is.04:44
ImStandingokay davidrsmorris  give me a few minutse04:45
ImStandingminutes*04:45
ImStandingone quick thing...  I assume the laptop is 32 bit, am I correct?04:46
ImStandingdavidrsmorris04:46
drinxtirWhat kinda laptop?04:47
ImStandingdavidrsmorris are you there?04:48
TJ-ImStanding: When the liveCD starts your get to a menu with "try Ubuntu..." etc ... at the bottom of the screen are some prompts for function keys. Pressing F6 will allow you to remove the "quiet splash" boot options to see messages as the PC boots... which should allow us to figure out what is going wrong. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing_the_CD_Boot_Option_Configuration_Line04:48
systemd0wnHow can I narrow down an issue I'm having? I am running 12.04-64bit and I'm experiencing random freezes. Sometimes this does not inlcude the mouse cursor, other times the mouse cursor disappears entirely. Don't know where to begin my search.04:49
TJ-systemd0wn: Check out the system logs in /var/logs/ ... in particular kern.log, syslog and Xorg.0.log04:49
davidrsmorrisImStanding: The 32bit CD is right for your machine if it got you to the splash.04:49
ImStandingTJ- What I just did was on that menu I clicked Install UBUNTU..  Which I have never seen before.  So know it is working and I think I may have some progress....  davidrsmorris04:49
systemd0wnTJ-, Thank you very much.04:50
ImStandingOMG.. too much crap to type.04:50
ImStandingdavidrsmorris04:50
TJ-ImStanding: There might be a CD read error ... removing "quiet splash" will show if the kernel reports failed reads04:50
ImStandingWhat are you saying TJ-04:50
davidrsmorrisImStanding: You probably want to try ubuntu first.  And that menu should have a "check cd for errors" option which you should use.04:51
TJ-ImStanding: If you can see the kernel's messages as it boots you might get a clue as to the cause of the problem. Otherwise it's just stabs in the dark04:51
ImStandingShall I stop the current progress?  davidrsmorris TJ-04:51
davidrsmorrisImStanding: Not all of the text is important.  The text is describing what is happening as the computer starts up.  The part that's important is the last thing done before something went wrong and it hung.04:51
TJ-ImStanding: I've known often of CD drives with dislodged dust stopping the laser from focusing correctly... showing read errors... and fixed by giving the drive slot a very strong blow-out!04:52
TJ-ImStanding: whilst its going... don't tempt fate and stop it :p04:52
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ-  What I am going to do is watch the text advance until it stops.  I am seeing it stopping and starting many things.  This looks normal.04:53
TJ-ImStanding: That sounds sensible. Often the hardest part is the CD/DVD based installation.04:53
ImStandingMy problem before was that I only saw the desktop, but now I see "stopping mount network filesystems"04:53
davidrsmorrisImStanding: yep, and if you're quick, you'll begin to learn a little about all the software that turns arithmetic into a grahical interface.04:54
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ-  CHANGE IN PROGRESS!!!   I see the pretty UBUNTU desktop screen now04:54
ImStandingwhich is where I became STUCK before. davidrsmorris TJ-04:54
TJ-ImStanding: That sounds good. Often we underestimate how long a CD-based boot will take04:54
davidrsmorrisImStanding: You got a mouse cursor?04:54
ImStandingyes sir04:54
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ-04:54
TJ-ImStanding: As long as you have the desktop you have a user session. If the mouse fails you can still get to a text terminal and run diagnostics/check log files for clues04:55
ImStandingHow long does it usually take for a window to popup?  davidrsmorris TJ-04:55
ImStandingThe mouse doesn't move04:55
ImStandingand I see text again davidrsmorris TJ-04:55
TJ-ImStanding: I've known it take 5 minutes on slow systems/CD drives... go get a coffee and come back :p04:55
ImStandinghaha, except I am 14 and this is too late lol TJ-04:56

ImStandingTJ-  Is there a cheat sheet for this?  Lol  because I can't remember shortcuts easily.05:02
davidrsmorrisImStanding: What he said is, if the computer can't control the graphics card well enough to draw windows, it might be able to accept text commands and give out text information that looks like the verbose boot did.05:03
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ- still gray screen05:03
ImStandingwhat is the verbose boot?  davidrsmorris05:03
davidrsmorrisImStanding: Your first one is hard, but as you memorize more, you get better at it.05:03

TJ-ImStanding: we use it in computing alot to describe a program providing lots of information on what it is doing05:05
drinxtirAnd black? that'd you tty8 imstanding05:05
TJ-ImStanding: that's what we call a shell prompt. Like the C:\> prompt on Windows. You can run commands from it do most anything05:05
ImStandinglike look on facebook?  Lol jk05:06
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir   why hasn't it done anything?05:06
TJ-ImStanding: Here's a starts guide so you know how to control it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto05:06
drinxtirYour in a terminal. Start commanding it! Lol05:06

TJ-drinxtir: It's already logged in; it's the live CD05:07
drinxtirO.o05:07
johnitj- thank u05:07
johnibut it still didn't help me..05:08
ImStandingTJ-  It says ubuntu again05:08
ImStandinglol05:08
TJ-johni: If you're trying to do something with a chroot jail (guessing from the path) you can't symlink outside the chroot. You'd have to do a --bind mount05:08
drinxtirAre you trying to install imstanding05:08
TJ-ImStanding: That's correct... that is telling you that the current user is "ubuntu"05:09
ImStandingdrinxtir I am trying to install ubuntu on a very old laptop :005:09
ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir so what do I do???!!!05:09
johniyeah05:09
TJ-ImStanding: Now we have to figure out how to get the installer log files off that PC and somewhere we can read them. Is that laptop connected to a network?05:09
johnihow to do that?05:09
ImStandingTJ- it is directly plugged into my router05:10
drinxtirget a server copy that has alternative install. Imstanding05:10
ImStandingdrinxtir what???????05:10
drinxtirNo gui05:10
TJ-johni: "sudo mkdir -p /jail/glftpd/site/downloads; sudo mount --bind /home/user/downloads /jail/glftpd/site/downloads"05:10
TJ-ImStanding: Great!05:11
drinxtirThen if it installs you might be able to get ubuntu-desktop imstanding05:11
TJ-ImStanding: OK, now type this: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"05:11
TJ-ImStanding: that will install a package that helps you paste text from programs directly to a web site05:11
ImStandingTJ- looks like it failed shit up..lol  I see lots of text05:12
ImStandingdavidrsmorris what are your thoughts on what I should do05:13
TJ-ImStanding: Do you see anything that reads to be an error?05:13

drinxtirImstanding you'll need the alternate install if the gui fails to load05:15
TJ-drinxtir: You're confusing the issue right now... if there's a hardware CD drive error using the alternate installer will not solve the issue05:16

TJ-ImStanding: I'm working on it... hold your horses!05:17
ImStandingI know TJ- I was informing the other two people trying to help05:18
davidrsmorrisImStanding: look through the settings on whatever you used to burn the disk image, setting the speed lower is really important.05:18
ImStandingdavidrsmorris I don't remember seeing the option.05:19
pspeter3How do I set a geoclue location?05:19
davidrsmorrisImStanding: Look through menus, or search the help.  It will probably be in a menu between speeds like 4x, 8x, and 16x.05:20
ImStandingkk05:20
zykotick9davidrsmorris: honestly, i use gkrellm volume control for realtime master & pcm control (configurable obviously), with my awesome setup... but there's nothing wrong with alsa-mixer in terminal ;)  good luck.05:21

drinxtirImstanding try ctrl+c05:27
TJ-ImStanding: That's a telepathic PC then :p05:27
ImStandingwhat does ctrl c do drinxtir05:27
davidrsmorriszykotick9: Do you know of any way I can ask an ALSA rig what the current levels are and tell it to increment or decrement the volume?05:27
davidrsmorrisImStanding: Ctrl+C tells any command running now to stop.05:28
zykotick9davidrsmorris: lol, sorry no.  moc (aka mocp) has a terminal switch that i rig into my awesome menu ;)05:28
zykotick9davidrsmorris: for vol up/down i mean...05:28

ImStandingdavidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir               my freaking computer is making noise but I can't type and ctrl c does nothing. shall I restart?05:29
drinxtirCtrl+d05:29
davidrsmorriszykotick9: music on console?05:29
drinxtir?05:29
TJ-ImStanding:  OK, I've found the CD checker program name ... don't worry about that for now. ... does that noise sound like maybe the fans are going mad trying to keep it cool? If so, turn it off using the power button... hold it down for 4 seconds or more until the PC turns off05:29
davidrsmorrisImStanding: if Ctrl+D doesn't do anything, restart, and try to pick "check CD for errors" from the menu that has "install Ubuntu" on it.05:30
ImStandingk  its odd05:30
ImStandingoff05:30
zykotick9davidrsmorris: ya, it's my defacto music player... i terminal almost everything "if i can't run it in screen, what good is it?" ;)05:30
systemd0wnI'm trying to narrow down why my laptop keeps hanging. Would someone be willing to look through my kern.log and syslog and see if something stands out?05:30

ImStandingTJ- what button do I hit to make that menu popup05:35
TJ-drinxtir: I know... someone's not updated the pages! Best I could do on the spur of the moment though05:35
TJ-ImStanding: I *think* the Check CD option is got to from one of the functions on the bottom of the screen05:36
ImStandingI don't see anything but "ubuntu 12.04"05:36
fishbaitis it possible to back rsnapshot up to an external drive then use rsnapshot-diff after on a daily basis?05:36

zjhuiwhat should i do ?05:38
ImStandingnot had it yet TJ-05:38
TJ-drinxtir: maybe... only if we can be sure the CD drive is OK though05:38
zykotick9zjhui: the error suggests running "sudo apt-get -f install"05:39
TJ-ImStanding: sounds like a problem with reading the drive... I recommend ejecting the PC, leave the disk tray out, powering off the PC ... and giving it a good blow out and polish the CD05:39
zjhuizykotick9: i tried that , it comes the same error05:39
* gnomefreak cant recall what command is that installs all apps/libs 05:40
ImStandingTJ-  All I need right now is the hotkey that makes the menu popup.05:40
drinxtirIf the alternate don't work then its the cd tj- imstanding05:40
zykotick9zjhui: "sudo apt-get update" if you still have missing, i'm guessing your mixing repos, or using a ppa or something05:40
drinxtirTray*05:40
wilee-nileeImStanding, if it is the desktop version tapping shift at the powering on at the bios screen will bring up the early menu05:40

ImStandingI have already downloaded the alternate iso..  should I burn and try that?05:49
ImStandingwilee-nilee  TJ- drinxtir05:49
TJ-ImStanding: Of course... and once you have, TEST the checksum. The checksums of every ISO are on the download pages, and you can use the command line tool md5sum to check a CD using something like "sudo md5sum /dev/cdrom"05:50
drinxtirOn older systems I always go for the text installer05:50
wilee-nilee!md5sum | ImStanding check all the ISO's05:50

fishbaitsergiu: its a troll question i'm trying to get a small bit of vengence for them being so useless when i'm asking about rsnapshot07:02
hwkiller-netbookIf you have more than 4gb of ram, you need to use 64bit.07:02
sergiuoh then it's good) Can' belive wine can run big games like wow without using microsoft library07:02
gnomefreaki have 6gb ram andim running 32bit fine07:03
sergiufishbait> what yout q with rsnapshit07:03
sergiursnapshot*07:03
hwkiller-netbookWell, they wrote their own ms library. They just tried to write a library that implements the same API as windows itself. Reverse engineering, in some sense07:03
livingdaylightTJ-, definitely? because, I've heard that ubuntu recommends 32-bit and also that although 64 adds speed in some ways it is also slower than 32 in others - don't ask me how, I'm not technical, but apparently in a lot of cases it makes no difference.07:03
fishbaithow do i tell rsnapshot to snapshot sda and sbd then save to sdc?07:03
TJ-alexey_knyshev: looking now... give me a minute07:04
hwkiller-netbooklivingdaylight: no, 8gb of ram = use 64bit, period.07:04
livingdaylighthwkiller-netbook, ok, that's an authoritative and affimative confirmation :)07:04
TJ-livingdaylight: no, we recommend 64 bit and it will usually be faster since the 64-bit CPUs have lots more bigger registers than 32-bit so can handle many more calculations without having to access (slow) RAM07:04
drinxtir32bit is more stable07:04
TJ-drinxtir: Not at all, there is no difference!07:05
hwkiller-netbookThere really is no difference nowadays07:05

hwkiller-netbookonce upon a time, maybe07:05
drinxtirI guess its been a while since I've checked on it07:05
fishbait32 on 64bit hardware is slower b/c there is a layer of virtualization but 64 on 64 is faster than 32 on 32 abd 64 on 32 is impossible07:05
gnomefreaklst i heard there were a few apps that wre having issues ono 64bit however i dont recall th apps07:06
TJ-64-bit problems were caused by inexperienced programmers mostly, who didn't understand on-the-wire data structures might get zapped when laid out in memory07:06
hwkiller-netbookIt's not really an issue on linux. Why? Because if you need it to be 64 bit, you just use a 64bit compiler.07:06
hwkiller-netbookthe source code is there for the compilation07:06
TJ-hwkiller-netbook: precisely!07:06
hwkiller-netbookIt's the same code07:06
hwkiller-netbookIf someone is writing code that is specific to 32bit, then they are doing it wrong.07:07
fishbaitmmm apps that need hardwaRE access could be troublesome07:07
hwkiller-netbooknot really07:07
hwkiller-netbookthe kernel is 64bit.07:07
hwkiller-netbookthey just need to interface w/ kernel.07:08
hwkiller-netbookAgain, if an app is trying to access hardware directly, then they are doing it wrong. That's what kernel interfaces are for.07:08
fishbaitwell i'm talkin bout specific hardwAre access like anti virus apps and diagnostic ones07:08

TJ-alexey_knyshev: log4qt isn't in the Ubuntu archives. Are you building this yourself? I suspect there's an issue with the build configuration07:08
livingdaylighthwkiller-netbook | TJ- i was initially asking for my pc because its got 8gb of ram, but your strong support for 64, makes me wonder whether I need to switch my laptop to x64-bit also. What is the minimum amount of ram that would have you say - yes- definitely 64 or nah... better 32-bit?07:08
hwkiller-netbook4gb07:09
hwkiller-netbookif you have >=4gb, then use 64bit07:09

livingdaylightTJ-, i recall there used to be issues with getting flash? and stuff set up on 64-bit, but maybe we're beyond that now07:10
fishbait4gb or less 32 4GB or more 64 thats the basic understanding of course this presumes a 64bit cpu07:10
TJ-livingdaylight: now Debian and Ubuntu have adopted multi-lib we can install the 32-bit libraries to support 32-bit applications on 64-bit without any silly kludges we had before07:10
fishbaityeah i have flash running on 64 bit07:11
hwkiller-netbook32bit means it can address 2^32 in memory. That ends at 4gb, so any other ram is wasted (the cpu can't address it). Realistically, onboard gpu, bios, and kernel also use memory, so you wind up having access to even less than 4gb.07:11
livingdaylightTJ-, excellent. That's good to know - reassuring. Thank you. :)07:11
llutz_hwkiller-netbook: with PAE you can address more than 4GB (still in 4GB chunks). But PAE is ugly07:11
hwkiller-netbookand slo07:11
hwkiller-netbookslow*07:11

ubuntu-guest1222I'm interested in finding the corresponding builds which are packed from Ubuntu07:33
TJ-See my previous comment about the Mozilla daily PPA07:33
ubuntu-guest1222TJ: downloading the archive now, but I presume this is the latest one07:36
ubuntu-guest1222I would need builds generated for, let's say, a month ago for a given version07:36
TJ-If you add the PPA and use apt-get install / apt-get install upgrade, you'll get the latest build available07:36
TJ-You can select a specific build using pinnning - that is, forcing apt-get to get a specific version by doing something like apt-get install <package>=<version>07:37
ubuntu-guest1222does version cover all builds for a given version?07:38

jalexandruhi, I'm having troubles installing ubuntu 12.04 64 on an asus laptop from an usb stick it gives me the option to "install ubuntu" and "try ubuntu without installing" but it freezes after any option. My question is, if I use the windows installer will affect anything? will I be able after that to change the boot order(maybe using hbcd...) to have ubuntu boot first?08:17
TJ-Grammasta: if you don't mind all the desktop cruft... but you can *install* from the server ISO directly. I thought you wanted to test the server from a liveCD image so as not to touch the system disks08:17
luftikussGyro54, What do you mean by "thinking"?08:17

PaolasKill process 2056 ? (y/N)     y or N that ????09:03
CellTechAnother question. I have audacious. Why does it skip?09:03
TJ-DJones: CellTech llutz OK ... that dependency is for 32-bit systems only... I'm using 64-bit09:03
WiclaHello.. Are it possible to disable GPG checking for ONE specific repository?09:03
Benkinoobyjpds, syslogs last line is "frequency initialized -21.433 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift" is that normal?09:04
llutz_TJ-: there is no wine-amd64 (afaik), lmms still will depend on wine due to the VST-support09:04
TJ-llutz_: wine1.4-i386 [i386]09:05
llutz_multiarch, yes TJ-09:05
TJ-llutz: yes, but no dependency in amd64 package09:05

Benkinoobytimfrost, i think that that file may be corrupted... i had big trouble the last two weeks, because my system time always shifted off - with and without ntp09:09
bazhangPaolas, stop using the enter key so much. keep it on ONE line09:10
Paolasok09:10
Benkinoobytimfrost, would a purge and reinstall fo ntp be a safe solution?09:10
Benkinoobytimfrost, in case the time shifts off again09:10
TJ-Benkinooby: check /var/log/kern.log for any indication of the kernel causing the time drift... or if the PC is turned off alot, it could be down to a failing battery for the RTC09:11
Paolasin software center have sun java 6.0 plugin but no have install  how to make   ?09:12
bazhang!java | Paolas09:12
ubottuPaolas: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.09:12
timfrostBenkinooby: ntp re-install won't fix things.  If your computer is always on (or is on more than it is off), you  need NTP server installed to keep time synced to a reliable time source.  This is because of drift, and the fact that ntpdate only changes the clock on boot09:13
WiclaHello.. Are it possible to disable GPG checking for a specific APT repository?09:13
BenkinoobyTJ-, so far, my hwclock whas the only reliable clock on my system... a laptop, with a weak accu09:13
TJ-Benkinooby: that's a pain :(09:13
bazhangWicla, why would you ever need to do that09:13
BenkinoobyTJ, timfrost jpds thank you for your advice09:14
Wiclabazhang: it's for a custom repository in enterprise environment. But that's unimportant isn't it. Was that a statement that it's not possible?09:15
bazhangWicla, 3rd party repo? PPA? what is it09:15
Wiclaa local custom repository. Not a PPA09:16
TJ-Wicla: you can do it for all as you probably know (sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated upgrade) but I don't know about a per-repo option09:16

TJ-Wicla: you could sign your local repo. see for example: http://blog.mycrot.ch/2011/04/26/creating-your-own-signed-apt-repository-and-debian-packages/09:19
WiclaTJ-: ok. The setup required would need to have it configured in a configuration file however since Puppet is being used. Would prefer not to change the Puppet uses to install packages (apt-get -q -y -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold install <package>"09:19

ubottuUbuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

dr_willis eli_  restate the question then.... somthings gotten lost in translation.. or theres a failure to communicate.10:00
NetRunnerBlack_Right10:00
TJ-NetRunnerBlack_: So, when your machine tried to use HTTP to fetch the package list, the captive portal returned its own page rather than an error code, so your machine didn't realise the file didn't come from the Ubuntu archive10:00
TJ-NetRunnerBlack_: All archives use HTTP and regular web servers to host the packages10:01
NetRunnerBlack_Ohhhh10:01
dr_willisNetRunnerBlack_:   ive seen that at most public wifi places these days10:01

NetRunnerBlack_TJ- Thanks. My internet goes down sometimes and it tries to use my neighbors captive wi-fi portal sometimes. I must have been off my network without realizing it and tried to update.10:02
TJ-NetRunnerBlack_: this might clue you on which one: "document.write("Enter the guest access password to access the Internet. Ask the owner if you don't know the password. The guest access password can be found using Cisco Connect.")"10:02
NetRunnerBlack_TJ- The neighbors actually feeds the browser this message: "Welcome to fuckers guest. Please enter the guest password, fucker." But I'm guessing that was modded heavily and I managed to get the original bit somehow? That's all I can think of anyway.10:03

livingdaylighthibernation is good, but I don't need to assign twice the amount of Ram for swap then?10:11

dr_willislivingdaylight: swap=ram+a little bit more  for hibernate10:14
prakashHello all Recently I Updated to ubuntu 12.04 LTS10:14
jpdslivingdaylight: Swap involves putting ALL of your memory into swap.10:14
Smashcatlivingdaylight: You could probably just use a swap file, and a script to enable swap just before the system goes into hibernation if needed. Having swap on all the time is no big issue really though10:14

lloowen Hello all! Currently running Ubuntu 10.04 with blackbox wm installed. Just wondering what is the best way to start up applications on boot up. i.e. conky10:16
llutz_jpds: even a swap-file has a fixed size you need to specify before. so its not scalable10:16
supasnashbuhlSmashcat: can you explain why? Because a swap file can get fragmented?10:16
prakashEvery time I login it gives me System Error pop up10:16
TJ-Wuschii: I think the problem is something to do with the runlevel you are at when you run those commands... did you start in 'single' mode?10:16
livingdaylighthibernation is a good thing, right?10:16
TJ-livingdaylight: Allows you to save state and take the battery out10:17
Smashcatsupasnashbuhl: The swap partition is not a normal filesystem, it's for dumping and reading RAM. So adding the overhead of having to resize it etc will damage performance10:17

W4splloowen: You would need to familiarize yourself with System V. If you blackbox and want to run a program after you logged in: blackbox wm reads from .xinitrc | .xsession in ~/. Just add '<application> &' before you exec your wm.10:30

TJ-lloowen: I think you might have to do "ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession"10:38
W4splloowen: I see. Your DM (gdm or lightboxdm or whatever you've got) would need to be able to pass on what DE has been chosen. That sounds easy but actually some DM follow X.org. AFAIK gdm and lightdm don't. .xinitrc should be read by blackbox surely.10:38

alba-andyguys, my httpd users 'apache' says it cant write to a specific directory, how can I add it without changing the directory owner?10:41
TJ-alba-andy: usually you add the directory owner to the www-data group, and then set the directory's group to www-data10:42
lloowenW4sp: My current setup is ubuntu 10.04 minimal from a net install with no WM. Just blackbox. This set up is running on a thin client with just 102Mb RAM so I'm doing as much as I can command line only. When I installed blackbox wm there was no .xinitrc present at all. Just .xsession-errors10:42
theadminalba-andy: 1) make a group, 2) add the "apache" user to that group, 3) change the directory owner OR 1) change your fstab to mount the drive directory's on with the "acl" option, 2) use the "setfacl" command to allow the user write access to the directory.10:42
TJ-alba-andy: obviously you'd also ensure the directory group owner has write permissions10:43
theadminalba-andy: s/owner/group/10:43

lloowenTj: thanks for the link. Looking into it.10:45

theadminMrUnkownGuy: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage - click the "Other Versions", find the .deb for your architecture11:17

LaykeIf I wanted to reinstall ubuntu on my solid state.. what would you advise I do? I'm a little worried about it taking forever since I forget what packages I've installed, etc. Or perhaps missing configs.11:18
btcbuy314can somebody reply to me, i need to check if the color is readable now11:19
llutz_Layke: backup /etc and a list of installed packages11:19
llutz_!clone | Layke11:19
ubottuLayke: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate11:19
VolpesTJ: Thank you! I will install 12.04 at once :D11:19
TJ-Layke: You could simply clone the existing installation over to the other device and then switch... which will ensure any custom config is retained, or you could generate a list of installed packages and then use it later in a script to install those packages11:20

TJ-JasperCoenraats: this forums post claims to have solved it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=182210212:09

ActionParsnipOctober82: 64bit weill see your RAM as one block, if you use 32bit with PAE you will see all your RAM but each process will only have access to 3.2Gb RAM12:09
TJ-October82: The kernel and some user processes will be faster because the 64-bit CPU instruction set has many more internal registers12:10
MonkeyDustthere should be a factoid about the difference between 32 and 64 bit12:10

s3r3n1t7lattera, the main problem with live migration is changing data. How are you going to add that data to a new filesystem while also keeping it in sync with the old one? It just can't be done. Best you can do is a freeze on the current FS which will allow read but refuse writes, then copy it over, remount new one over old one and continue. Do note, that depending on the amount of data there will be a long time of freeze where no new data can be wr13:23
s3r3n1t7itten.13:23
latteranot sure how sun did it, but they did live migration for zfs13:24
latteraufs->zfs13:24
s3r3n1t7lattera, initial googling shows that ZFS is an upgrade of UFS, so they only added a few things to it. They didn't touch the data.13:24

Lost_Causegeekbri: does the gui work at all?  try rebooting it to see if it just needed to be restarted.  I know of two other ways to install it if their are still issues14:26
geekbriLost_Cause: yeah it works now, but apparently running nvidia-xconfig as root totally nuked my xorg config :-P14:27
geekbriLost_Cause: things I haven't missed, mucking around in an xorg conf14:27
Saikiusr13: see pm lazy to use pastebin atm)14:27

ActionParsnipsavio: they like the support structure14:30
savioActionParsnip: what? i don't get you14:30
cha1tanyahow to repair broken software index?14:31
Lost_Causesavio: red hat also cost money and is geared towards business with their support for enterprises like action said and they also tend to use older drivers and software that is a little more mature. ie they still use gnome 214:31
TJ-cha1tanya: there's a newer version of  libkrb5-3 in the precise-updates/precise-security archives. Try doing "sudo apt-get update" first14:31

RedViper:-(|)14:35
keebTJ-: says "you may not remove a user from their primary group"14:35
Lost_Causesavio: sometimes.  by old i mean that they use things like gnome 2.  which is more widley support and not as experimental as gnome 3 or unity.  they aren't on the bleeding edge of software but they still keep up to date with patches.14:36
TJ-keeb: It's correct!14:36
keebTJ-: but the audio group was usermod'd in14:36
TJ-cha1tanya: It says the problem: "libkrb5-3:i386 1.10+dfsg~beta1-2ubuntu0.3 cannot be configured because libkrb5-3:amd64 is in a different version (1.10+dfsg~beta1-2ubuntu0.2)"14:37

=== ubuntu_ is now known as Aitor
savioLost_Cause: I think it is main reason14:39

TJ-cha1tanya: let me research that14:39
keebTJ-: how do you change the primary group a user is in14:40
ActionParsnipcha1tanya: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc14:40
TJ-keeb: usermod -g <newgroup> <user>14:42
Saikiusr13: any ideas?14:42
savioLost_Cause: what about Mac OSX14:43
savioLost_Cause: i heard that MAc OSX grant POSIX specifcation14:44

Lost_Causesavio: POSIX doesn't matter too much. most linux distros aren't 100% compliant14:48
Treaverkk14:48
TJ-keeb: The only extra one I have here from that list, is libvirtd14:48
ActionParsnipLost_Cause: its gotta be pretty tuff14:49
keebTJ-: using adduser, the user only has 1 group membership: his own14:49

ActionParsnipPip__: if you use onboard video, it will use some of your system ram14:52
geekbriwith ubuntu 12.04 is there a way to generate an xorg.conf from the current running Xorg session?  It seems it no longer requires a xorg.conf to run, but I need to specify which display driver it should be using.14:52
Pip__discrete card in there, that's what's freaking me out14:52
chreekatI'm unable to boot a liveusb created with 'startup disk creator' and ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso. I doublechecked the md5sum, and I tried the 'check disks' option of the usb's boot menu. No dice.14:52
chreekatThe error is along the lines of 'unable to mount /dev/loop1 on /cow: invalid argument'14:52
Pip__nvidia 8400gs14:53
TJ-Pip__: on 32 bit the address space below 4GB is used to PCI IOMEM mapping. That can often require more than 1GB so it would prevent the full 3GB of physical RAM being mapped14:53
chreekatAnything else I can do do check the usb stick, or otherwise figure out what might be wrong?14:53
ActionParsnipPip__: ahh, so you have a switchable video chip?14:53
usr13Saiki: There may be a way to get iweb to run on Ubuntu, but it's just going to take some tinkering.  I dono....14:53
ActionParsnipchreekat: are you trying to mount an ISO?14:53
Pip__ActionParsnip; no i don't think so14:53

ActionParsnipchreekat: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?14:54
chreekatActionParsnip: Yes14:54
Pip__TJ; that would make sense if i understood what it means, but it does help a little14:54
chreekatActionParsnip: tbh I think it's my usb stick, but not having another one handy, I'd like to find a way to make sure14:54
usr13chreekat: Did you verify it?14:55
Lost_Causegeekbri: is saving to to config in x server when you are on the xdisplay screen not working?14:55
TJ-Pip__: something else needs the memory addresses so RAM is not mapped into them, so you lose some of the 3GB of physical capacity14:55
Pip__03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a2)14:55

geekbriLost_Cause: Not sure I folllow what you mean.  I was just trying to save myself the trouble of typing out the whole xorg.conf by hand. I was hoping there was a way to say "Take whatever you have set now and dump it to a file"14:55
Pip__TJ; yeah okay...14:55

TJ-Malthus: I've just issued this build command: "debian/rules build 2>&1 | tee ../build.log"15:29

caixaBlazemore, so the game comes with an executable file, yet it requires compiling?15:36
Blazemorecaixa: If it comes with an executable, it doesn't need compiling15:36
TJ-Malthus: You don't need that guide to build the package! That guide is for professional packagers who need to ensure there are no hidden dependencies15:36
caixaBlazemore, ok then... thats my point15:36
kurtwp_ah yes I see two - one NVIDA and the other ATI15:36
caixaBlazemore, ppl are either giving false info in this channel, or this is over complicated15:36
Blazemorecaixa: You *could* compile the game if you wanted to, but you don't *have* to15:36
TJ-Malthus: All you need to do to build any Ubuntu/Debian package is : "debian/rules build"  then "fakeroot debian/rules binary"15:36
Blazemorecaixa: Do you use VLC on Windows?15:37
TJ-Malthus: The 'binary' operation will leave the .deb files in the parent directory of the package-directory15:37
j|caixa: that's been a problem in every medium of human communication since the beginning of recorded history as far as I'm aware.15:37
MonkeyDustcaixa  correct, we *love* to give false information and do it on purpose, but only because it is you15:37
Blazemorecaixa: Because you *could* compile that if you wanted to15:37
Blazemorecaixa: Nobody will knowingly give false information, and everyone here is a community member just like you.15:38
Malthustj-: make: *** [binary] Error 29 ?15:39
TJ-Malthus: Did you do a "make clean" first?15:39
caixaMonkeyDust, youre an idiot15:39
usr13caixa: There are two options: 1) Someone that knows how could do it for you.  Or 2) You could figure out how and do it yourself.15:40
caixausr13, well option 1 doesnt seem likely here ;) so i guess its option 215:40
usr13caixa: but calling someone an idiot is not an option15:40
caixabeing told to compile executables lol15:40
usr13caixa: Your choice ....15:40
TJ-Malthus: I suggest you start again. Move to the parent directory, do "rm -rf network-manager-0.9.4.0" then "dpkg-source -x network-manager_0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1.dsc" then "cd network-manager-0.9.4.0" then "debian/rules build" then "fakeroot debian/rules binary"15:40
Malthustj-: will try that in a second - its doing alot of "stuff"15:41
Malthustj-: it built but I'm sure I saw about 6-7 warnings during that process - probably better to start over right?15:43
TJ-Malthus: well warnings are usually OK ... though it is good practice to capture the build log and review it just in case15:43
Malthustj-: like you did in that script where you tee'd the log, I think I'm starting to follow the plot15:44

FreeaqingmeI installed a .deb file while explicitly ignoring its dependencies, since the package didn't need them (it all works just fine). However, now I run apt-get and it tries to retrieve those dependencies any way. Is there any way to disable that and set the package as installed succesfully?16:59

FreeaqingmeTJ-, it were .deb packages installed with dpkg, cant get apt-get to ignore them now17:07
TJ-Freeaqingme: if you edit the package and reinstall it using dpkg it will work17:08
ActionParsnipFreeaqingme: yeah, I posted replies to most things he says to work around or cure the issue17:08
FreeaqingmeTJ-, yeah, but I hate doing that. was hoping there was a better way17:08
TJ-Freeaqingme: it's the BEST way. If the package doesn't need the dependencies, it shouldn't say it does!17:08

caixausr13, i'm looking for where a game installed to17:35
qhartmanTJ-, I've tried doing that sort of thing, but everything seems to be getting set right. I first ran into this issue with ec2-cmd tool. It started giving me this permission denied thing out of the blue (as far as I can tell) but after digging in, it'd not able to load some jars it requires even though the classpath is right.17:36

qhartmanTJ-, the latest problem is trying to build redis from source, where it's giving me the "permission denied" when trying to run make.17:36

usr13caixa: What is the name of the game?17:37
Barkahi17:37
TJ-qhartman: is that the package 'redis' or a source tarball?17:37
usr13caixa: And is it native to Ubuntu or does it run under wine?17:37
usr13caixa: or....?17:38
qhartmanTJ-, I need a particular version so I'm building it from the tarball from redis.io17:38
usr13caixa: If you can tell us what game you installed, and how you installed it, we may be able to help.17:39
TJ-qhartman: I've just cloned the redis git repository; I'll try that17:39
qhartmanTJ-, Works fine on all my servers, but on my workstation it chokes, and I suspect it's the same thing that caused my ec2-cmd to break17:39
TJ-qhartman: can you pastebin the output of "env" AFTER you've randomised any sensitive values in their?17:39
qhartmanTJ-, correction to the above, the permission denied message gets triggered when trying to run ./configure for jemalloc dep in redis17:40

rodjI added a file in .local/share/applications but the icon is not displaying.17:43
Lost_Causerodj: gnome 2 or 3?17:43
rodjLost_Cause 317:43

qhartmanTJ-, good idea, I'll give that a shot.17:43
xanguaLost_Cause: gnome2 is dead, long live gnome17:43
TJ-qhartman: configure often tries to run with a minimal set of ENV vars17:44
Lost_Causexangua: gnome 2 is still nice to use as a change of pace17:44
Lost_Causerodj: what type of program or file or w/e are you trying to add to the dash17:44
TJ-qhartman:  one other thing that can catch you out like this: if the files it is trying to execute are on a file-system with the noexec option set17:45
rodjsublime217:45
qhartmanTJ-, This started at some point after moving my homedir onto a different device and mounting it under /home. I'm not sure if it correlates exactly, but that is the only change I can think of that might be relevant, but everything else seems happy17:45
TJ-qhartman: like USB flash devices17:45
TJ-qhartman: check the mount options I reckon17:46
qhartmanTJ-, that's an interesting idea17:46

buddylinuxClip2net is not running on 64-bit system http://clip2net.com/en/ Anyone else on 64-bit could perhaps test this? Its a simple bin file. chmod +x followed by ./filename.bin usually starts the installer18:16

buddylinuxWhat are the advantages of running 64-bit system? I hear with PAE one can have available up to 64gb of RAM on a 32-bit system.18:18
mrgenixus32bit systems can't address more than 4gb.  I don't think there's anything that will get you around that18:18
ThinkT510!pae | mrgenixus18:18
ubottumrgenixus: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info18:18

shiman6and #ubuntu-server is a dead chat18:19
mrgenixusshiman6: buddylinux sounds like there aren't any, if you have PAE installed18:19
Jordan_Ubuddylinux: Many operations are faster with 64 bit instructions than with 32 bit instructions, also with PAE an individual application can still only access 3 GiB (which for most Desktop apps is more than enough).18:19
rodjLost_Cause:  http://pastie.org/440724818:20
ThinkT510buddylinux: bottom line is usually if you got 64bit why not use it? (unless there is something that doesn't work on 64bit, which is amitedly not much)18:21

caixausr13, why? because ive installed a few other games through the client and they've worked18:30
lousygaruaS4nD3r, there are two things to notice, one is the keyboard layout which is what language you can TYPE in, and the other is the locale you mentioned which is the installed languages on the system18:30
lousygarua(or something like that :)18:30

ajnrelgaton, is it possible to get the terminal19:00
ajnrelgaton, otherwise its not possible to get backup my data !19:00
Lost_Causerodj: if its in the path all you have to do is type "subl" +tab + enter and your done.  no need to use a mouse19:00
elgatonajnr: Start the system from a live CD, then connect an external drive/USB key. Open a terminal and type "cd <path to old home dir on disk> && tar -pczf <path to external drive>/backup.tar.gz ."19:00
elgatonajnr: That will backup ALL the contents in your home directory to a file named backup.tar.gz on your external drive.19:01

pr0ndigyhow do i remove the "CHAT" option from the envelope icon at the top of the screen? i already deleted Empathy19:10
saviohello guys19:11
usr13caixa: Part of the problem is that linux distros are so dynamic and updates/upgrades come so rapidly that it is hard for an outside software company to stay perfectly in step with any one distro, (and considering the various versions that each individual may be running at any particular time).19:11
trismpr0ndigy: then you probably just need to log out/back in, to restart indicator-messages19:12
lousygaruakalxas, well, I'm not sure what is the name of the installer on xubuntu, maybe try a xubuntu channel or a xfce channel and they might have more ideas. What I think is that the problem is the package for the xfce installer has it's own settings for background/whatever, but I'm not sure what is the name of the installer.19:12
pr0ndigytrism, i tried that but it's still there19:12
usr13caixa: And, games are complicated peices of software to begin with.19:12

Luig1Hi. So, I'm looking into buying a laptop, and I've decided that I'm going to get one with an AMD processor and discrete graphics card due to driver support and power management. Comments?19:19
elgatonsavio: OK, you could, for example, test daily ISO images or stable release upgrades19:19
Luig1For Ubuntu, I mean19:19
lousygaruaThinkT510, hmm too bad, that guy parted the channel19:19

mazeHi.. Does anyone have any tips on securing Ubuntu?19:22
elgatonsavio: ISO testing is testing Ubuntu ISO images built every day to check that all basic functionalities work, this is especially important before a release takes place.19:22
savioelgaton: is need to install on hdd or vm19:23
elgatonsavio: A VM is enough in most cases, real hardware is preferred though.19:23
pr0ndigytrism, where is that?19:23
elgatonsavio: Testing stable release upgrades is a more "ongoing" type of work, you will need to check if fixes proposed for particular bugs are effective and do not impact stability.19:23
savioelgaton: that is interesting19:24
Luig1Lost_Cause, thanks for the tip, but I've already identified a well-priced HP laptop and at this point the whole decision is between an Intel i5/Geforce 630m config or AMD A8/Radeon 773019:24

Lost_CauseLuig1: if it is a new i5 like  i5-3360M i would go with that19:26
compdocLuig1, its best to try each one if you can. My gf has an i7 in a laptop, and its slow19:27
Luig1Will the power management features be supported equally well in both though, Lost_Cause? From what I can tell nvidia optimus tech isn't supported in Linux except through bumblebee etc, whereas AMD's equivalents are fully supported in Catalyst19:28
Luig1And they're automatic for AMD, especially when using an AMD cpu (not that I have a choice in the matter, this model only comes with intel/nvidia or amd/amd19:29
Lost_Causein terms of that amd is better.  but for the most part using the discrete card all the time isn't that big of a difference in power to justify worring about it19:29
Luig1You mean performance?19:29

AgamemnusIt told me it installed into "fbc", but I don't see any fbc folders.20:12
brennan??20:12
Luig1It's called dual boot GreekDollmaker. wubi is also an option.20:12
GreekDollmakerWubi?20:13
dr_williswubi is best avoided if you can do a nirmal dual boot20:13
GreekDollmakerYeah, about that.20:13
GreekDollmakerITs actually a Tri boot.20:13
CannedCornhey guys, is really poor performance typical for Ubuntu 12.04 with a recent AMD card20:13
[snake]it's good if you don't know about dual booting or w/e20:13
GreekDollmakerI have Windows 98SE installed too.20:13
brennanis there anyway to run netflix???????????20:14
GreekDollmakerWhat's Netflix?20:14
IdleOnebrennan: it is not possible in linux.20:14
rez0rwth would u have 98se installed for20:14
dr_willisbrennan:  virtialbox+windows in it..20:14
Luig1rez0r, some things are only compatible with one or the other system, I've heard20:14
brennanIdleOne who do i tell20:14
brennan?20:14
GreekDollmakerrez0r: Because it can run old PC games.20:14
rez0rit works on regular ubuntu20:15
IdleOnebrennan: you can either dual boot with windows, or like dr_willis said install windoes in virtualbox and run netflix.20:15
GreekDollmakerI have older operating systems on VMware, such as Windows 3.120:15
Luig1rez0r, I meant having 98se installed20:15
IdleOnebrennan: you don't have to tell anyone, it is pretty much common knowledge20:15
rez0roh20:15
GreekDollmakerBut I wanted Windows 98SE for different reasons.20:15
Agamemnusif there is an install.sh, how can I run that?20:15
brennandr_willis, who do i tell to have the bug fixed20:15
dr_willisbrennam what bug?20:15
IdleOnebrennan: it is not a bug, it is by design20:15
brennandarn20:15
GreekDollmakerFor example, I managed to get System Shock 2 Running on Windows 98.20:16
IdleOnebrennan: email netflix and ask them to support linux.20:16
Luig1GreekDollmaker, check the installation guides. They can go far more in-depth on dual booting than we can in this channel20:16
Luig1The guide depends on how you want to install20:16
Monsteronce I have done an md5sum check what else shall I do?20:16
Monsteris it safe and not corrupt20:16
GreekDollmakerLoading was slow at crap and it crashed a few times, but other than that, it was awesome.20:16

tech1i have my user folder in "/home/username" but theres lots of folders in this directory already... i want a new empty folder for all my work stuff... i could put it in "/home/username/Documents/workfolder" but its a long path... is it ok to make a new empty folder (/home/workfiles) -or will the system think this is a new user and cause some permission or login problems (if trying to work from this folder logged in from "use20:16
tech1rname"(/home/username)?20:16
subterfugeGooglefu has failed me, Have a Logitech M185 Bluetooth mouse that I would like to pair with my intigrated Bluetooth.  I am running Ubuntu 12.04.  Any suggestions on where to start?  I have tried just using the interfaces wizard for setting up new devices, that was a NOGO as it never saw it....20:17
spirit3_tech1: All your files should live in /home/<username>20:17
dr_willistech1:  your files are in your users /home/username/whatever ;)20:17
Monsterwhat other checks on the ISO do I need to do?20:17
spirit3_tech1: you can create and use a folder wherever you like20:17
Monstermd5sum, right?20:17
Monsterthat's it it says xubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso: OK20:18

kyanHi… I was wondering, what would be the causes of a segmentation fault during the cpio creation while building a custom initramfs?20:18
tech1ok. its just a longer path, so i guess i need to decide between path semantics and path length20:18
UbuntuBoyMe again.20:18
spirit3_tech1: there's maybe a solution ...20:18
tech1what solution20:19
dr_willis  my keybord cant to a tilda.. heh20:19
spirit3_tech1: use /home/<username>/Documents/workstuff but create a link from a path you can remember to this ...20:19
UbuntuBoyI have just installed everything, marked the folder for sharing. Is that it?20:19
K4kAnyone know of a way that I can specify a shell for my user that is different than the shell specified in my posix attributes on my ldap server?20:19
dr_willistilda/directory = /home/yourusername/directory20:19
tech1oh i see... you mean a shortcut like the java environment variable uses "$HOME" or something20:19
rez0ri've done everything20:19
UbuntuBoyDo I have to do anything in Windows?20:19
rez0rstill not showing any proprietary drivers20:20
tech1ill try that too thanks20:20
spirit3_tech1: 'man ln' - you probably want to use 'ln -s' ... go research it.  Although, you could as you suggest also use an environment variable for examle $workstuff20:20
spirit3_tech1: so then cd $workstuff20:21
quesada does anyone know an alternative to 'archive.org'? (a site that collects old versions of sites)20:21
spirit3_tech1: This has never been an issue for me though - I'm not sure whay you'd want to20:21
spirit3_tech1: you realise /home/user can be abbreviated to ~user ?20:21
Luig1quesada, google cache20:21
spirit3_tech1: and with tab completion it rapidly becomes a non-issue20:21
rez0ri just don't understand why my wifi will work fine on ubuntu 12.04, but has this huge problem with xubuntu 12.0420:22
rez0rit's the same OS isnt it20:22

Agamemnushow would I switch from 12.04 "precise" and install libffd-2.21.53?20:24
rez0rafter i manually install the drivers20:24
spirit3_tech1: yes, the ~ character is a shortcut to your home die20:24
spirit3_dir20:24
spirit3_tech1: so you can specify a user ~jon, or you can use the current user ~/Documents (assumes your user)20:24
spirit3_rez0r: manually installing drivers ... ouch - most cards nowadays work fine without additional drivers20:25

Agamemnus... even though when I try to use my compiler, the compiler complains that the file DOESN'T exist20:45
AgamemnusI didn't.20:45
K4kGreekDollmaker: interesting. Though I was more referring to the notion that there were new drivers for old hardware and vice-versa20:46
GreekDollmakerAnyways, I want to get into 3D modeeling. Thing is, I want to know if Ubuntu can support, or is a better working enviroment memory wise to do so.20:46
Agamemnuswell20:46
GreekDollmakerK4K: Mine apparently can do it.20:46
AgamemnusOK, maybe I did, but now I am not.20:46
GreekDollmakerNot sure why, I havne't checked on my drivers.20:46
bilelspirit3_: it's strange because the mail function returns true, where is the mail if I don't receive it? Is there a queue or something?20:47
K4kGreekDollmaker: as for triple-booting your system. Installing Ubuntu on a seperate drive/partition should install grub which will replace the windows boot loader. Grub is capable of loading both Windows OSs20:47
seabeepiratehi folks. can anyone help me get my graphics drivers working? I don't even know where to start20:47

Agamemnusapparently i'm not the owner of usr/lib20:54
lloowenbilel: I looked in /usr/bin/ but it was not there. It did install as it gave me the yes/no prompt with eterm as the name of the package that was about to be installed.20:54
Agamemnusany way to make myself the owner of it?20:54
K4kseabeepirate: that card should work automatically, what's the issue you're having?20:55
GreekDollmakerI mean, they have different code stractures, so that means I have to install them on Ubuntu too.20:55
seabeepiratek4k during bootup the screen goes black and doesn't turn back on. I have a work around to make it run but as I understand it, my work around forces generic drivers to be loaded so no games will work for me20:56

K4kseabeepirate: is the workaround to put something like "i915.modeset=0" in grub?20:58
Agamemnusoh my god, finally....... so i just copied the new libffd file with the old name, and changed the permissions of usr/lib so I can do that.... now this stinking thing works :)20:58

spirit3_Trimer__: If you surround a single ifconfig with 'echo' statements, do they get executed?  I can only think something weird is going on ...21:16
usr13Bodsda: Right, but at some point, a password needs to be supplied, so using sudo in a script is a problem21:16
antonio_i have thinkpad t60 and I want to enable the touchpad21:16
antonio_on ubuntu 12.421:17
Trimer__@usr yes but the is a command with sudo before  it runs sudo /sbin/ifconfig21:17
Bodsdausr13: using sudo to run ifconfig is pointless in itself21:17
spirit3_Trimer__: Do you need to use sudo?  ifconfig should return everything you need without it?21:17
usr13Bodsda: Yep21:17
Agamemnusmy compiled program doesn't work, I think something to do with new files again.21:17
dudewhatonce all the devices have pinged each other they should cache the arp21:17

th0rantonio_: I don't know about the thinkpad specifically, but look into a command called 'synclient'. I have used it on numerous laptops to control/modify touchpad behaviour21:18

Trimer__if i run it with out nothing will happen21:18
usr13Trimer__: To do what?   What are you calling ifconfig to do?21:18
spirit3_yki: /dev is ... not real :)21:18
Agamemnuswarning: using '.....' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking blah blah blah21:18
Agamemnusany ideas?21:19

ykinot real?21:19
BodsdaTrimer__: just pastebin your script please21:19
Bodsdayki: its a vfs21:19
spirit3_yki: it's a virtual filesystem that just contains links to devices (for example, a pointer to your disks, printers, etc)21:19

ykithank you very much21:20
usr13*rhetorical*21:20
spirit3_Trimer__: but also, ifconfig should return everything you need (at least under ubuntu) without sudo21:20

spirit3_Trimer__: Which line is it causing problems?21:23
dudewhatwith 6 hosts21:23
Trimer__sudo /sbin/ifconfig should only show the network config21:23
Trimer__line 1221:23
bekksdudewhat: Wasting 3 VLANs for 6 vms - is suboptimal.21:23
BodsdaTrimer__: works fine for me, shows standard ifconfig output21:23
dudewhatwell when you have a cisco switch..21:23
spirit3_Trimer__: It is the first time sudo is used ... which does make me think it's waiting for a password ... but I understand you say you're in sudoers21:24
W4spTrimer__: Is line 1 correctly pasted? '#! /bin/sh' there should be no space between '!' and '/'.21:24
bekksdudewhat: Even a cisco router wont turn that pointless idea into something good :)21:24
BodsdaTrimer__: it also works without sudo in there for me21:24
jakubelgaton, Hi again. I still fight with java on my lubuntu and chromium. I remove all java versions and then install openjdk-7-jre and icedtea-7-plugin. Plugin is enabled in web browser but i cant pass test on java page. There is bussy indicator for 20 sec and white content appear.21:24
spirit3_Trimer__: However, our point is valid; you could not use sudo and it would still return the same info21:24
dudewhatwhy wouldn't you want less broadcast domains?21:24
spirit3_Trimer__: The problem may then move to the next sudo ... if our guess about password is correct21:25
dudewhatspirit3_ just run the script as root21:25
Bodsdaspirit3_: the script works fine21:25

wlodpolm2er jre21:26
elgatonHi21:26
bekksdudewhat: Because 6 hosts are almost nothing, in terms of broadcast domains. So there is no need to put every vm into a vlan just to reduce broadcasts.21:27
bekksdudewhat: Thats pointless.21:27
BodsdaTrimer__: after following W4sp's suggestion, the /sbin/ifconfig in the script will run the same as when run 'by hand' (if run by the same user)21:27
W4spWalther: Sorry, I expanded the wrong nick. :-(21:27

Dr_WillisRelondo:  mount -o rw /dev/whatever /whever   I belive21:59
dudewhatumount21:59
Dr_Willistheres a remount option i think.22:00
RelondoDr_Willis: Thanks.22:00
Dr_Willisid say check the mount man page also. I forget the syntax for  the remount option22:00
[snake]elgaton, now it's only posting the new data when I write stuff into it.22:01
elgaton[snake]: OK, what do you want the code to do precisely?22:01
bekksDr_Willis: -o remount,rw22:01
RelondoDr_Willis: Okay.22:01
[snake]elgaton. there will be a file that says(for example): hello.22:02
[snake]elgaton, I want to put stuff before that like this: new data\nhello22:02

Dr_Willistbrock:  xterm -ls  ---> is a login shell..22:09
vakswww.google.com will hold your hand22:09

ripthejackerusr13, so is it possible?22:24
tech1does your system meet required specs?22:24
BliepoDr_Willis: I used Universal usb installer22:24

ripthejackerusr13, ?22:24
Dr_WillisBliepo:  what exactly does it do when it 'hangs'22:24
usr13ripthejacker: It is not impossible. It is possible22:24
ripthejackerno or possible?22:25
BliepoDr_Willis: Specs: CPU core i7 @ 3.4Ghz, Sapphire Radeon HD 7800, 8GB RAM22:25

BliepoWill try that, thanks22:25
Dr_WillisBliepo:  nothing at all? what Does it do? shows a splash? a flashing cursor?22:26

=== Qualia is now known as Qualia0
Dr_WillisSo the installer actual started then Hung? thats after you got to the desktop?22:27
BliepoAlthough, when it failed at installing the base system it didn't hang. It just reported it failed and ended the install.22:27
Dr_Willissounds like ther may be some deeper and possibly hardware issues going on..  as a test you could try some non-ubuntu disrtos and see if any of those work. Such as tiny-core-linux (10mb)22:28
BliepoBut I'll try the nomodeset and report back later22:28

LinixHey guys, I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, it is pretty much impossible for me to add PPAs. Am I doing it right? I cannot add "ppa:chromium-daily/dev" to my system, any help here?22:30
Dr_WillisLinix:  #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 issues22:30
trismLinix: 12.10 has a newer version of chromium then the ppa (unless they just updated it in the last week, *checks*)22:30
Linixlima: Solaris sucks in everyway compared to Linux, why would you even want it?22:30
OerHeksLinix, that PPA is out of date, chomium does not publish there anymore.22:30
SolarisBoywhy is Solaris Sucks a valid answer?22:31
SolarisBoygenerally ppl saying that aren't using it correctly or have no experience with it22:31
Dr_WillisSolarisBoy:   i imagine you want Ubuntu last.. so you said windows first.. so that gives you the logical order. :)22:31
limaLinix: i need to learn it...22:31
LinixOerHeks: Do you know what the official one is?22:31
OerHeksLinux, yes, softwarecentre.22:31

Dr_WillisNot sure whats to learn about solarix actally. :) last iplay with it.. most of my leet-linux-skills transfered over. ;P22:34
SolarisBoyDr_Willis: same things you would need to learn on any other vendor unix - but I think your *nix knowledge is wide spread enough that you don't have to worry about like learning filesystem layouts and basic commands to maneuver the system22:35
spirit3_SolarisBoy: But, startup/shutdown with milestones etc is ... bizarre22:35
Dr_WillisI used SUN work stations years and yeas back  also..  and some BSD.. and Minux.,., it pays to be flexiable i guess.22:36
SolarisBoyDr_Willis: indeed22:36
Dr_WillisI still want some of the features from my AMIGA in Linux ;P22:36

Dr_Williscemil:  please grow up. if you have a support question then ask.. if not.. then be quiet.23:38
Dr_Willisirreverant:  whatever one you want.23:38
Dr_Willisirreverant:  its easy to change back.23:38

MonkeyDustcemil  is a bot23:38
irreverantDR_Willis: What's the difference?23:39
Dr_Willisirreverant:  one is kde's other is ubuntus default...23:39
OerHeksirreverant, lightdm - unity23:39
irreverantah!23:39
Dr_Williseither will do the job. If you are going to use KDE. may as well use KDM.23:39
irreverantThat's what I chose.23:39
Pessimistjust do /ignore cemil!*@* ALL23:40
bonez2046w4sp: ok, I get that X server should do fine but on this system all I get is 800x600 for the monitor resolution which clearly isn't 'fine' from where I sit....what else might I check?23:40
EjYcEHello am new here23:40
zaitzevPessimist: That works until he changes nick. Better to kick the bot out.23:40
Pessimistbonez2046, there is a way to change the monitor resolution. Just put "resolution" or "displays" in Unity23:41
EjYcEI need ssh root and smtp, contact me as soon as possible23:41
cemilUbuntu is an operating system is so bad, she seems to be what kind of desktop environment made ​​for kids, doing stupid things23:41
Dr_WillisEjYcE:  do you have a ubuntu support question? thats what this channel is for.23:41
bonez2046Pessimist: I got to the displays icon, click it and I see 'Laptop' and the resolution reads '800x600' and that's it, no other choices....23:41
hayloexit23:42
Pessimistbonez2046, are you sure the drivers for your gpu are loaded correctly? If yes, then I think there is no other way than this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html23:42
bonez2046the 'displays' and or 'resolution' items are only seeing a laptop.23:42
tworkin1i just installed 12.04 from the alternate iso. I got an error during "select software and install" that I couldnt overcome so I skipped that and finished the installation. boot and login fine, but `apt-get update` only sees cdrom:// urls in sources.list. what to do?23:42
arunkumar413is there any regular expression construction program for ubuntu23:42
bonez2046I will recheck...I think I have the correct driver listed23:43

EjYcEDr_Willis@,so what is ur advice? do you mean this is not the best pleace for what i need?23:44
tworkin1is http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ a recommended solution for making a better sources.list?23:44
cemilHow do you use an operating system, "su" type, type the administrator password, you can not get sudo password manager you will now write nonsense of su, the Ubuntu operating system is really a worthless23:45
Dr_WillisEjYcE:  my advice is to go learn some real computer skills.  this network and channel are NOT for illeagle type activities.23:45
Pessimisttworkin1, you need to get a good sources.list. I'll upload mine in a sec or you can go to Ubuntu Software Center and choose the online repositories23:45
cemilHow do you use an operating system, "su" type, type the administrator password, you can not get sudo password manager you will now write nonsense of su, the Ubuntu operating system is really a worthless23:46
EjYcEDr_Willis@,Oh i see but how can you teach me while we are distance from each other now:d23:46

Dr_WillisEjYcE:  no one is going to teach you  much on irc.. go read and learn some fundamentals and teach yourself.23:46
Dr_Willis!manual | EjYcE23:46
ubottuEjYcE: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/23:47
W4spnasa01: It's probably down to a dbus error. Did you install anything prior the error occured? Also, does dmesg tell you anything?23:47
dreadtechhello, I am trying to install Ubuntu server 10.0.4 on an IBM System x3650 M4. Is this possible? It shows that it's compatible with SUSE and Red Hat. Ubuntu is not detecting the 5 SAS HDs during set up.23:47
Pessimisttworkin1, here is my sources.list: http://pastebin.com/5GTAqPyg but note that this uses my local repos so I recommend you go to Ubuntu Software Center and enable your local repositories there23:47
EjYcEDr_Willis@,thank you anyway23:48
nasa01Thanks W4sp - no, I hadn't installed anything prior to the error, it seems to have always been there.  But of course, I wans't looking for it at the start23:48
nasa01And I didn't see anything special out of dmesg23:48
W4spnasa01: Well it's probably down to dbus then.23:49
nasa01Anything I can do about it?23:49
cemilUbuntu is an operating system I'm just telling you bad, than why should I use an operating system security weaknesses that already I'm using Pardus23:49
tworkin1Pessimist: thanks, i'll start with just precise main and precise-security main since all i have right now is vi D:23:49
W4spnasa01: What version do you have? Did you mention it?23:50
Dr_Williscemil:  if you are going to do pointless spamming, please use better english.23:50
dreadtechdid anyone see my question?23:50
nasa0112.0423:51
grydreadtech: yes23:51
Dr_WillisI dont even know what a 'SAS' HD is dreadtech  ;)23:51
dreadtechit's just an IBM server hard drive23:51
Dr_WillisNot sure how that differs from the hard drive in my normal desktop machine..23:52
Dr_Willissome sort of RAID setup?23:52
pspeter3How do you install nvidia drivers now? I have been using elementary but switched back to ubuntu for a while23:52
bonez2046Pessimist: here's a pastebin for xrandr : http://pastebin.com/EcNWF5AS23:52
Dr_Willispspeter3:  addational-drivers  tool  - 'gksudo jockey-gtk'23:52
dreadtechyes but Ubuntu won't install nor detect drives even without the RAID set up23:53
pspeter3Dr_Willis: what does that do?23:53
dudewhatmagic23:53
dae44I have remote desktop set up on an Ubuntu 12.04 box, but after reboot I can't log in - I can get in via SSH. Does logging in with TIghtVNC require a full X session to already be open? If so, how do I do that remotely?23:53
Dr_Willispspeter3:  installs the nvidia and other drivers... what you asked how to do...23:54
Pessimistpspeter3, its a tool that makes it very easy to install propertary drivers in Ubuntu23:54
Dr_Willisdae44:  you can ssh and run the vncserver then connect via a vnc client to the hidden vnc desktop.23:54
irreverantWhat is ubuntu doing about the secure boot functionality with Windows 8?23:54
pspeter3Dr_Willis: Ok, thanks.23:55
Dr_Willisdae44:  t TightVNC does NOT share the current visible desktop. It can have its own custom 'hidden' desktop23:55
Pessimistirreverant, signing Ubuntu iso so that it would work under "secure" boot23:55
irreverantWith microsoft keys or emulating the keys?23:55
Jordan_Uirreverant: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035445.html Further discussion of this should probably go in either #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic though.23:56
irreverantThanks Jordan_U23:56
Jordan_Uirreverant: You're welcome.23:56
W4spnasa01: We may need to check syslog, they rotate hence you may not find it in the current one.23:57
dae44Dr_Willis, gotcha, thank you!23:57
bonez2046w4sp here's a pastebin for xrandr : http://pastebin.com/EcNWF5AS23:58
W4spnasa01: The erro message is rather generic and can  have different root causes. :-(23:58
