[00:00] PRabyte You can disable luks password prompt at boot by adding "rd_NO_LUKS" kernel flag to grub.conf [00:00] ZzBomb: 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 me [00:00] aha I found an article on it but this is what I get [00:00] GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3 [00:00] Minimal 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] that comes from a fedora help file but im sure its not any different in ubuntu === Kitarst_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:01] danielboston26: yah!! where, grub.cfg? syntax please. thanks [00:01] PRabyte: for something like that I would likely use something like a live gparted disk to avoid the conflict of editing from the disk [00:01] i read that a few moments ago, add it to /etc/default/grub right? [00:01] then update grub [00:02] So I am going to read up on this and get back to you if I solve it [00:02] lsoccer169: What does typing "ls" at the GRUB prompt report? [00:02] in /etc PRabyte [00:02] ah that would be way easier [00:02] ZzBomb: you cant load anything via usb or cd when luks is running [00:02] dan i know its in etc [00:02] im saying syntax [00:02] you know I did not try that [00:02] Really? I did not realize luks locks your bios? [00:03] ZzBomb: it wont allow usb boot, i tried with 2 diff usb drives [00:03] luks is definitely doing its job [00:03] just want to disable, then i can wipe [00:03] Well that's assuming your using the boot loader to load your usb drives and not your bios [00:03] luks or anything like it should not prevent you from booting live disks [00:04] danielboston26: whats the syntax for rd_NO_LUKS? where to put in grub file [00:04] or a link howto [00:04] ill look brb [00:04] LUKS won't prevent reading anything that isn't encrypted with LUKS [00:04] PRabyte it doesn't say [00:04] i know, lolol, thats the frustrating part [00:05] people put up howtos, but they are incomplete [00:05] just do this or that,,, blah blah [00:05] ill find it somewhere [00:05] brb [00:05] here is an ex: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-278046.html [00:05] ya i know it stinks [00:06] but 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] im old skool [00:06] i just modified grub in /boot [00:06] PRabyte can you reformat the disk? [00:06] cant do jack until i remove that passphrase [00:07] im going to try the http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-278046.html option [00:07] PRabyte: Sounds like you've got full-disk encryption [00:07] opps rd_no_lucs [00:07] yah exactly [00:07] might have to break out my freebsd boot disks [00:07] did you forget your passphrase? [00:07] no i did not [00:08] its a test server, im going from 10 to 12.04 [00:08] are the open source nvidia drivers any good [00:08] its basically a logger box [00:08] well if you know the passphrase unlock the disk then just reformat it [00:08] i was just trying out luks, figured out lots of stuff today, but to remove, well, thats where we are at present [00:08] evening all. Need some help with Java and Chrome. I keep getting the error that Chrome could not load IcedTea-Web plugin [00:08] that will get rid of encrptyion [00:09] give me step by step, ill try it. [00:09] 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 rest [00:09] how you would do it, your tools utils disks so forth syntax [00:09] TJ then delete it? there are still fstab and crypttab entries, and dmsetup stuff.. huh? [00:09] myk_robinson: which releases are you using? [00:10] there is much more to luks than assumed [00:10] brb [00:10] myk_robinson: and what is the context of when the error occurs? particular page or just always? [00:10] ZzBomb: Ubuntu 12.04 and IcedTea 7 Plugin. I think I may have just found that a lot of people are having the same problem [00:10] thanks, all input is greatly appreciated, im considering all options, trust me, you are not wasting your breath [00:10] br [00:10] ZzBomb: 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 java [00:10] 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. [00:11] correct [00:11] i dont really care about the data [00:11] just geting usb to boot new os [00:11] ;) [00:11] brb [00:11] PRabyte: When I do encryption, I always do it per-file-system not whole-disk... makes things much more felxible [00:11] Bug 1031857 [00:11] myk_robinson: ah lame. I have not had an issues with my version. Although I think I am running an unstable chrome..... checking my details [00:11] Launchpad bug 1025553 in icedtea-web (Ubuntu Precise) "duplicate for #1031857 Plugin fails to load in Chrome" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1025553 [00:12] 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] myk_robinson: ah nope, im running stable come. and iced tea 6. So I guess you could try switching down a version. 7 might just suck [00:13] TJ not the issue [00:13] thanks [00:13] been there [00:13] ZzBomb: 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 message [00:13] myk_robinson: good idea [00:13] why the heck did ubuntu mess with grub confs...... my gawd [00:13] although looking at the bug report, it affects people iwth 6 too. [00:13] hm weird [00:13] take a simple thing and make it difficult. sheshhh [00:13] ZzBomb: maybe you haven't updated, looks like this bug report popped up about 5 days ago after a java plugin update [00:14] wth,,, 10_linux huh? why did they do that.... [00:14] I 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. [00:15] http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp [00:15] its to test your java version [00:15] Hey guys, I'm having trouble trying to get ubuntu onto an IBM Thinkapad. When I load the 12.04 disc into the drive and attempt to install, it stalls on a purple screen with a small person in a circle at the bottom center. [00:15] omg! there is 100 files in /boot/grub... sighs... ill try this later, i gotta go, thanks for the more advanced suggestions, i appreciate it [00:15] l8 [00:16] Ah naturally the java test page. [00:16] Lol [00:16] loading... [00:17] Not crashed but does not seem to be working.... investigating. [00:17] ZzBomb: try the same page in Firefox [00:17] kk [00:17] firefox works [00:18] albeit it says im outdated since 6.0 [00:18] I get the same results with IcedTea 6. [00:18] well 6 [00:18] hm ok [00:18] 6 and 7, works with Firefox, not with Chrome [00:18] myk_robinson: Long time no see :) [00:18] are you x86 or 64? [00:18] rypervenche: been a while, looked for you on here the other day [00:18] java's had longstanding issues w/ 64 [00:19] ZzBomb: x86. My findings seem to mirror the bug report [00:19] It worked fine last week, I guess maybe an update hosed something, and will likely be fixed soon [00:19] I'm 64 [00:19] Wow, I'm only 35 :) [00:19] Badumpsh. [00:19] c'mon, that was kinda funny... [00:19] I'm going to play w/ chrome a bit to see if I can get it to scream at all [00:20] hello everyone [00:21] hello marriam [00:21] ZzBomb: for whatever, its worth, here's what I get: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/6hcrty76/HowdoItestwhetherJavaisworkingonmyco.png [00:21] ZzBomb: The tag? :P [00:21] how r u???

[00:26] it's likely too much to ask due to firmware and whatever. I think ill just use my phone [00:27] only issue with phone is it does not do wireless n [00:27] HOLA [00:27] ho [00:27] jola [00:27] hola [00:27] andlinux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:28] ZzBomb yar [00:29] Samanagh: check pulse to see if the application is muted for some reason? [00:29] well Sound settings. [00:29] i tried ubuntu 12.04 before,.,,,but it didn't recognize my broadcom b43 wireless adpater [00:31] how can i get ubuntu 12.04 to recognize my broadcom b43 wireless adpater [00:33] i tried some puppy linux,,and they recognized my broadcom b43 [00:33] ZzBomb: Had sound effects turned off in sound settings, didn't realize that controlled other applications [00:34] Samanagh: Ah yea, ive done it a few time it's annoying [00:34] My favorite though is recently pulse has been freezing on my desktop and audio will just not be adjustable for like... 30 seconds or so [00:34] Can you use VNC clients over different distros/OS? Like if I wanted to control my Ubuntu distro from say my Win8 or Lubuntu distro? (VNC noob) [00:34] Samanagh: yes [00:34] you can do it between linux/win/mac if you want [00:35] is nvidia powermizer for laptops only? [00:35] caixa: why would it be? likely for anything nvidia [00:35] caixa: although most people dont regulate power as much on a desktop [00:37] ZzBomb, it came with my nvidia recommended driver and the power levels are causing me lag, is there a way to modify the power levels? [00:38] caixa: check the nvidia control panel, i believe there are several power settings in there. [00:38] hey guys, pls i need some help, anyone here knows Kubuntu?

Most nic issues have already been solved there... [00:46] arevee: you would have to be very lucky to find someone here w/ the same card [00:46] arevee: have you enabled the restricted drivers? [00:47] yes sfears did that [00:47] it says activated [00:47] what's your issue? [00:47] it isn't seeing my wireless network [00:47] i am presently on it through ethernet [00:47] I assume other devices can see the network? [00:48] yes, same nic can when booted in win 7 [00:48] yes other devices can perfectly fine. [00:48] have you tried to connect to hidden network and manually type the network name in? [00:48] can you see any networks? [00:49] nothing, isnt there a command line to show if the drivers are loaded correctly? [00:50] yea zz, other devices all see it fine... i think im doing something very moronic [00:50] don't know how to tell :) [00:50] very simple [00:50] synaptix, o/ [00:51] My ssh connection keeps dropping. Is screen/tmux gonna make this less annoying? Or are they going to hang when my connection drops? [00:52] arevee: click on manage networks [00:52] ok [00:52] JustSighDudes: you'll be able to reattach after you reconnect your session [00:52] arevee: manage connections/add/scan [00:53] hmm , how do i go to manage network? (I see network connections on the top right corner, sorry dude.. rookie) [00:53] trism: Awesome. Any major differences between the two if I'm only using them to keep a persistent session? [00:53] JustSignDudes: screen/tmux will help keep your current IRC session [00:54] arevee: can you right click maybe? === mh_ is now known as David_linux2 [00:54] i'm not using ubuntu right now so I'm not 100% [00:54] JustSighDudes: not really, though I usually prefer tmux these days [00:54] I think ya'll are looking for 'edit connections' then wireless tab? [00:54] i have enable networking, edit connections? [00:55] JustSignDudes: none that I can think of [00:55] yea i am ther Zzbomb, i have the network pop up, and on the wireless tab [00:55] im just guessing. Going to go back to staring at a wall now [00:55] yeah arevee, edit connections [00:55] there should be an add button, and then a scan button [00:55] ok there, the ssid is entered, mode is infrastructure, everything else is blank, i see nothing to scan.. the 4 tabs are wireless, ipv4, ipv6, wiress security [00:56] under the wireless tab [00:56] !who | Zzbomb [00:56] Zzbomb: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:56] eagle_eye: ? === skiptheuse is now known as ghostchick [00:57] Hey! [00:57] there should be a scan button in there somewhere arevee [00:57] eagle_eye: HI! [00:57] sfears: I think they took it out of recent versions [00:57] bummer.. i see no scan buttom Zzbomb/sfears :( [00:59] arevee, sfears: just tested. Another way to view them is via unity search for 'network' it'll open a control panel for Network, w/ left tabs. Wireless is one of tabs. Click there and it autoscans and lists them in a dropdown. [00:59] ^^ [00:59] dude awesome, checking.. [00:59] unity search.. [01:00] arevee: You can trigger a WiFi scan manually from a terminal command-line. You'd do "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (if the WiFi interface name on your PC is 'wlan0' ) [01:00] I disconnected when I accidentally selected a different network. Whoops. [01:00] TJ-: Oh awesome [01:01] umm so i don't think the os is seeing my wireless card... [01:01] how can i check? under network tools it only sees the lo and eth0 [01:01] arevee: well there's your problem [01:01] :x [01:01] arevee: Now you need the terminal! [01:02] ok, dudes, i owe you all a drink, i have terminal open, now what? :) [01:02] Hello people [01:02] arevee: Can you pastebin the results of doing "lspci -nn | grep Network" ?

[01:06] It is a 1tb fantom hdd [01:07] i will try ZzBomb et al., thanks for the pointers [01:07] mwmnj_: if your system can boot the disk via usb. Sure. That's very motherboard dependent. [01:07] Is there a specific program that needs to be added to manipulate 7zip programs in Arks? [01:08] Do I need to format the hdd in any special way, or can I just throw the iso on there as any other file? [01:08] arevee: You might also find the answers here of use (the latest ones look most useful) http://askubuntu.com/questions/125529/wireless-doesnt-work-on-a-broadcom-bcm4312 [01:08] As f right now, I can't open anything with a standard install. [01:08] mwmnj_: and I've actually never tried w/ an external usb harddrive. So who knows. I am assuming that's possible. [01:08] arevee: what's your problem boy? I have "02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)" and runs pretty smooth on 12.04 and previous ubuntu releases [01:08] how can i get ubuntu 12.04 to recognize my broadcom b43 wireless adpater? [01:08] GH0: you need to install the 7zip package [01:08] mwmnj_: No: A .iso file is like a ZIP file ... it has to be extracted and written to a hard disk to be useful [01:09] GH0: although it looks like libarchive12 which is standard should work as well. [01:09] TJ: is that possible to do with this hardrive? [01:09] What is the 7zip package? Because if I try to do sudo apt-get install 7zip, nothing is presented as an option. I will try libarchive12 [01:09] GH0: try installing p7zip-full, it may be required by ark [01:09] Hm. :( Libarchive12 is already installed. [01:09] a hard drive is hard drive isn't it? [01:10] GH0: try p7zip [01:10] mwmnj_: Are you using Ubuntu on the PC right now, or working from Windows? [01:10] GH0: g7zip-full is the package name [01:10] Ah, alright, then yeah, it was p7zip. [01:10] other than that, 'apt-cache search' exists ;) [01:10] I have 11.10 on it right now [01:10] szal: and it is glorious [01:10] mwmnj_, no usb thumb? [01:11] Alright, cool, thanks everyone. [01:11] wilee-nilee: nope [01:11] TJ-: but my connection is too slow to download from my ubuntu [01:11] mwmnj_: You should use something like usbcreator to write the ISO file's contents and bootloader to an external device. You can use a hard disk for that as well as a USB flash storage device [01:13] i'm attempting to install handbrake on ubuntu 12.04 ... i have the ppa added correctly. i can find handbrake in synaptic but when i click on the dependencies tab in synaptic the last line shows "Conflicts: handbrake" and I'm wondering why [01:14] mwmnj_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 [01:14] how can i get ubuntu 12.04 to recognize my broadcom b43 wireless adpater? [01:14] anlarye: Ooooo I remember having this issue. it has to do w/ versions I think you need to update source to use an older version precise is not availible yet [01:14] ▲ ▲ [01:14] ▲ [01:14] anlarye, have you run a update after the ppa load [01:14] ty [01:15] mwmnj_: This guide looks just like you want but DONT just copy the instructions! Read it first and make sure to replace mentions of "/dev/sda1" with the correct device name of your EXTERNAL hard disk [01:15] yes ran update after the ppa load [01:15] mwmnj_, no problem you can boot the iso from grub [01:15] anlarye, did you have handbrake installed already ios it installed now [01:15] is* [01:15] no it is currently not installed [01:16] anlarye: What does "apt-cache policy handbreak" report ? [01:16] anlarye, try sudo apt-get install handbrake in a terminal/ [01:16] anlarye: switch the source to oneiric, the precise repo does not work yet [01:17] this ppa has precise did you load this one anlarye https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots/ [01:18] Perhaps it should work now.... [01:18] Last time I tried precise for handbrake it kept failing out on me [01:18] The ppa may not be loaded [01:19] how do I create a folder from the command line? [01:19] wilee-nilee: yes i am using the snapshots for precise [01:19] anlarye, did you try the terminal. [01:20] do that and pastebin the whole thing [01:20] ZzBomb: can i get some help with ubuntu? [01:20] !pastebin | anl [01:20] anl: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:20] anlarye, ^^^ [01:20] * ZzBomb slaps Maser with a large trout [01:20] Maser, don't ask just state the problem. :) [01:21] ooooookay, how do I restart a process? kill and start? or is it easier? :P [01:22] wilee-nilee: the actual name is handbrake-gtk and that installs via terminal [01:22] anlarye, cool. :) [01:23] DarkAceZ: depends on the process... who is it owned by? is it a system service? [01:23] nautilus [01:24] wilee-nilee: maybe not. i tried it once before and it gets to about 30% of a dvd rip and then my computer shuts down [01:24] it 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] anlarye, nopt sure I understand. [01:24] not* [01:25] 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 " e.g. killall nautilus [01:25] so, 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] kill -9 is force kill [01:25] TJ-, so there's no restart? [01:25] that should restart it [01:25] you could always write a short bash script [01:26] wilee-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.

[01:27] 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 1234 [01:27] anlarye: That depends on your hardware and kernel.

[01:50] hello friends, did anybody take problem with screencast in gnome-shell [01:51] SilverZ, ignore me thats the right one now extract with tar zxvf compat-wireless* [01:51] the 3.5 one? [01:52] yes [01:52] so i type tar zxvf compat-wireless* into terminal? [01:53] yes if thats where the download is [01:53] SilverZ: yes, assuming that you are in the directory you downloaded the archive to [01:54] SilverZ, broadcom a pain in the ? [01:54] yes it is [01:55] ok, I just extracted it from the folder window, but now what? [01:56] cd into the new folder it created [01:58] Cannot connect to windows share after updates. failed to retrieve share list from server. Ubuntu 12.04- Can anyone help? [01:58] how do I command into that folder. I'm sorry I'm very terminal illiterate [01:58] cd [01:59] SilverZ, why not use nautilus? [02:00] i tried cd plus folder name but it said no such file or directory, am I missing punctuation? cd compat-wireless-3.5-1 === c2tarun_ is now known as c2tarun [02:00] you mistyped the folder path then [02:00] SilverZ: try tab-completing the dir name [02:00] its caps sensitive too [02:01] +1 szal [02:01] and only put a "/" at the begining if you are using absolute path [02:02] is tab complete just typing and then hitting tab? bc that didn't work. what is an absolute path? [02:02] type "ls" does it show compact-wireless-3.5-1 [02:03] hello [02:03] or "ls -a" if its a hidden folder, it shouldnt be though [02:03] SilverZ, my fault SilverZ its bz2 the command is: tar jxvf compat-wireless-3.5-1.tar.bz2 try again [02:03] "ls" shows all the files/folders in the directory you are at/in the terminal [02:03] Hello, I am unable to get bluetooth on my laptop on XBMCbuntu 11 "Eden" (Based on Ubuntu 11.10). lspci correctly shows my Wi-Fi Bluetooth: Intel(R) PRO Wireless 4965AGN with Bluetooth [02:04] but rfkill doesn't show any bluetooth devices. The bluetooth module is running (as seen in lsmod) [02:04] ls nor ls -a showed the folder [02:04] going to try and move it and then see if I can see it [02:04] i can't install the foremost package -- anyone know the source i need to add? [02:04] then you are in the wrong directory [02:05] I tried upgrading my kernel to 3.6rc1 but that didn't change anything. I'll try 3.4.7 stable but I doubt it'll make a difference [02:05] guys 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] or you need to cd /something something [02:05] SilverZ: as gr33n7007h pointed out, there is no folder because you didn't extract the archive [02:05] so, ubuntu's installer won't see /dev/sda [02:05] oh lol [02:05] cfdisk can see it [02:05] fdisk can see it, i have no paritions on it [02:06] well if you didnt create the folder you wont see it [02:06] what would cause this? [02:06] i just placed it into a separate folder and I can't see the folder I put it in either [02:07] i gave him command first time for tar.gz the second was for tar.bz2 so second command will work [02:07] and extracted it, tried cd folder name again and nothin [02:07] i get E: unable to locate package foremost [02:07] SilverZ: what directory did you download the archive to? [02:07] you need to navigate your directories using ls and cd, without knowing where you are its hard to tell you what to type [02:08] how do I navigate directories in terminal? [02:08] SilverZ: cd [02:08] to go up a directory, cd .. [02:08] to enter a folder, cd name-of-folder [02:08] right tried that [02:08] "ls" ( display fles/folders) ... looking around..... "cd" change directory [02:08] "cd ../" go to parent folder [02:09] SilverZ, where do your downloads go? [02:09] tech1: no need for the slash [02:09] how do i install stuff from unauthorized sources? [02:09] oh [02:09] hold on hold on [02:09] ok I'm at my parent folder [02:09] the cd .. was the first thing that worked [02:09] danielboston26: define 'unauthorized sources' [02:10] at parent folder but cd foldername still doesn't work [02:10] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. szal [02:10] SilverZ: type nautilus . [02:10] SilverZ, where do your downloads go? [02:10] for instance my download files are in "/home/username/Downloads" [02:10] downloads [02:11] doing this entirely from the command line is silly [02:11] i set a static ip with auth eth0 at the top and dns-nameservers at the bottom, when my computer starts up, I have to ifdown then ifup in order to get nameservers to get setup correctly. Is there a better way of doing this? [02:11] xbmcuser7: You might check the sys file-system for any devices with rfkill... those nodes are created by drivers: "ls /sys/class/*/*/rfkill*/name" [02:11] SilverZ, what web browser you using [02:11] i have chrome/ mozilla [02:11] null1024: no, it isn't.. what is silly is when people can't seem to follow instructions [02:11] SilverZ, what web browser you use to download compat-wireless [02:11] both things are silly [02:12] the terminal commands are case sensitive remember [02:12] hello, can anyone help me?

[02:12] i am trying to get the rotating cube [02:12] chrome, my downloads go to /home/ben/downloads [02:13] and it sais i have to click on the light switch icon on the desktop, i cant seem to find it [02:13] Does anyone know how to fix my bluetooth problem? [02:13] SilverZ, type this in terminal: find / -iname compat-wireless* [02:13] SilverZ: make sure whether it's "downloads" or "Downloads" (mind the case!) [02:13] Downloads * I tried both [02:13] hold on the find part [02:14] mine is Downloads [02:14] it came back saying permission denied on everything, I'm logged in as the administrator though [02:14] how do i disable or turn off unity? [02:14] i hate it [02:14] sakorty: the desktop cube, right? do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [02:14] type "ls /home/ben/Downloads" you should see the folder if its there [02:14] with a passion [02:15] SilverZ, are you root [02:15] rpaddock: Can post your /etc/ifconfig to patebin.com? [02:15] yes i think i have it installed [02:15] gr33n7007h: does he need to? [02:15] how do i check? [02:15] no, just asking [02:15] SilverZ: whoami [02:15] SilverZ: "whoami" [02:15] how can i check which wireless adapters are supported by ubuntu 12.04? [02:15] SilverZ, echo $USER [02:16] ? [02:16] how about the usb wireles adapters? [02:16] it just says ben [02:16] sakorty: then press alt+f2 and type ccsm [02:16] SilverZ, what OS you using [02:16] ubuntu 12.04 LTS [02:16] danielboston26: Ubuntu = Unity.. deal w/ it or use something else (e.g. Kubuntu (KDE) or Xubuntu (XFCE)).. [02:16] danielboston26: I try installing gnome-shell with `sudo apt-get install -y gnome-shell`. After that, you should be able to login to Gnome Shell by clicking the little gear on the login screen. [02:17] a little down the list, you should see the desktop cube settings, you can enable and customize it from there [02:17] what does alt+f12 do? it doesnt seem to be doing anything [02:17] so ubuntu has no way to turn it off anymore? [02:17] sakorty: alt+f2, not f12 [02:17] SilverZ: can you pastebin the results of "ls -al" (that's lowercase L S -AL) [02:17] SilverZ, type: cd $HOME/Downloads [02:17] it brings up the run menu [02:17] ah thanks [02:17] ok I'm in downloads now [02:18] now try the original command you gave me? [02:18] type: ls [02:18] the folder is there now [02:18] .oO( too many cooks spoil the broth.. ) [02:19] Does 'Desktop Sharing' work over the internet or only lan?

[02:22] bonhoeffer,you can mount it manually [02:22] okay, looks like it's doing stuff. that's about the best description I have right now [02:22] 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" [02:23] it is /dev/sdc [02:23] if this works and you're ever in SC, I'll buy you a beer [02:23] SilverZ, lol [02:23] i will try sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc /media/new_mount [02:23] gr33n7007h even if it doesn't work [02:23] 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 device [02:23] SilverZ, it might take a while when compiling [02:24] bonhoeffer: Are you sure it's /sdc ... and not /sdc1 ? ... sdc implies the entire drive is a file-system with not paritition table [02:24] bonhoeffer,try to specify your device path exactly,maybe some dev/sdc1, look it [02:24] PMFJI. bonhoeffer TJ- Shouldn't it /dev/sdc followed by number?

[02:38] 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. === wolf is now known as Guest64036 [02:39] gr33n7007h - should I just unload the wireless modules? [02:39] ok [02:39] well [02:39] SilverZ, no wait [02:39] im asking [02:39] TJ-: i can't click -- i'm not in X [02:39] my wired connection is working fine and I don't have bluetooth. or should I unload a specific driver, but I'm not 100% sure which one I need [02:39] I have a bcm4311 chip [02:40] bonhoeffer: Use lynx [02:40] 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 kubuntu [02:40] i can try, but i guess i need to copy the image over to the computer using live cd or something -- so frustrating [02:40] 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 fdisk === aaaas is now known as aaas [02:41] gr33n7007h it also says if unsure, reboot [02:41] i wonder why this is such a problem -- i just formatted the disk using live cd per the default [02:42] bonhoeffer: It seems something selected, or the device already was, a GPT device, and that causes problems for finding the file-systems. [02:42] onetwo__: do you have wine installed? [02:42] SilverZ, dont reboot yet I've not done this in a while 1 sec [02:42] gr33n7007h rgr, standing by [02:43] TJ-: 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] TJ-: so i need to read up on what a GPT device is, thanks for alerting me to the problem [02:43] Jordan_U: i can't mount my drive i formatted with 12.04 [02:43] i can read it if i load live cd on the original computer [02:43] but no other computers [02:43] 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 aggro [02:43] bonhoeffer: Please run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and post the URL that it outputs here. [02:44] Jordan_U: i can't -- i have no mouse [02:44] SilverZ, what did sudo make install say [02:44] bonhoeffer: My instructions do not require a mouse. [02:44] Jordan_U: thanks for trying to help -- i don't have the keyboard skills to pastebin from terminal without a mouse [02:44] bonhoeffer: You might at most have to manually type the URL. [02:45] SilverZ, what did sudo make install say [02:45] #list [02:45] bonhoeffer: 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] Jether_______: jkljllkj [02:45] all kind of things but it ended with Now Run: sudo make unload to unload all sudo make wlunload to unload wireless sudo make btunload to unload bluetooth sudo modprobe driver-name to load desire driver if unsure reboot === deepakb is now known as dbalani [02:47] SilverZ, ha right type: modprobe brcm80211 [02:48] my desktop config keeps resetting when i restart, like the buttons in my launch bar n window decorations, im using 10.04, how can i stop this from happening? [02:48] is there a story behind traceroute not being included by default? [02:48] list [02:48] gr33n7007h rgr wait one [02:48] rhizmoe: See tracepath === deepak is now known as dbalani [02:48] gr33n7007h can you type that again I cleared my window on accident like a noob [02:48] meh. thanks [02:49] SilverZ, ha right type:sudo modprobe brcm80211 [02:49] * Jether_______ 我要死了 [02:49] gr33n7007h FATAL: Module brcm80211 not found. [02:50] SilverZ, sudo modprobe b43 [02:51] gr33n7007h, did it, the command line just popped up next [02:51] is it done? [02:51] Hi , how can i have Yahoo Messenger on my lubuntu? [02:51] SilverZ, check your card [02:51] AHHA!!! the little light came on which is a huge step up [02:52] I'm gonna disconnect my ethernet and try to connect wirelessly be back shortly gr33n7007h [02:52] SilverZ: A little tip. In Linux, command lines often don't report anything if they don't error [02:52] can anyone pls help me play league of legends on this kubuntu 12.04 [02:52] says i cant install 1.4 wine cause i may have held broken packages [02:52] SilverZ, tell me how it goes good luk [02:52] but i already installed 1.5 wine, how do i uninstall it? i wanna try 1.4 wich is more stable version [02:53] onetwo_: did you build it yourself, or apt-get it? [02:54] onetwo_: You might need to fix those broken packages issues. Try "sudo apt-get -f install" [02:54] Am I able to use dhcpd to issue DHCP to all subnets except the one it is in? [02:55] kbreit: great question! sounds implausible but I'll check [02:55] TJ-: Thanks. I've been reading the configuration guides and can't find if I can or not. I could off course try. [02:56] 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 config [02:57] TJ-: So I would put a shared-network group with the subnets I want in there, excluding the one it is attached to ? [02:58] 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] TJ-: Where did you find that? [02:58] kbreit: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sect-Configuring_a_Multihomed_DHCP_Server.html [02:58] gr33n7007h, it worked but then it wouldn't let me reconnect to chat, I rebooted and now everything is back to how it was [02:58] wireless not working [02:59] 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 name [03:00] TJ from the folder where the module is correct? [03:00] SilverZ: to modprobe, you do " sudo modprobe b43" [03:00] SilverZ, show me the output of : /lib/modules/yourkernelversion/kernel/drivers/net/wireless [03:00] SilverZ: No ... you've installed the module to the kernel's lib/ directory [03:01] SilverZ: so modprobe will 'know' where to find the module [03:02] gr33n7007h, how do I show the output of that again? [03:02] pastebin [03:03] no, no, do I type that straight or cd before it? or ls ls- a ?? [03:03] ls [03:03] sorry [03:04] i did it with the slash before lib and it said no file or directory again [03:05] SilverZ, type sudo modprobe b43 again [03:05] straight back to command line, light on card comes on again [03:05] tyoe ifconfig [03:06] done [03:06] what interface show up [03:06] eth0 [03:06] gem install rake; rails generate foo; => "Could not find rake-0.9.2 in any of the sources" [03:06] and lo [03:06] ^ WHat gives? [03:06] just that one [03:06] hello. [03:06] You say you using 12.04 [03:06] sorry card switch was flipped wlan came up [03:07] anyone else crashing after todays updates? [03:07] SilverZ, type sudo modprobe b43 again then [03:07] gr33n7007h, so it's working, but what do I need to do so it doesn't disappear upon reboot? [03:08] SilverZ, so wireless is working [03:08] pastebin [03:08] ok [03:08] okay how does pastebin work? [03:08] my gnome is crashing after todays updates . anyone else having the same issue? [03:08] SilverZ, what you pastebin in [03:09] hmm. Running PSensor on this laptop, it's returning a 56C for /dev/sda . Is that ok for a laptop or should I try to cool it better somehow? [03:09] gr33n7007h, trying to show what ifconfig said about mah wireless [03:09] SilverZ, ah ok [03:09] but the card came on earlier but after reboot it didn't, what's going wrong on reboot? [03:09] SilverZ: If a module doesn't get auto-loaded at boot-time (it ought to) then you can ensure it is by adding its name to the file /etc/modules [03:09] type ifconfig | pastebinin [03:10] in the terminal? [03:10] yes [03:10] SilverZ: that should be type "ifconfig | pastebinit" [03:10] then install it? [03:10] SilverZ: note the ending T not N [03:11] installing.... [03:11] gr33n7007h TJ should uninstall the original broadcom drivers as well, so the ubuntu doesn't load them up when I reboot? [03:12] SilverZ, not yet [03:12] When I try and start Ubuntu after a fresh install, I get this screen.. is there anything I can do?: http://i.imgur.com/K1E4H.jpg [03:12] gr33n7007h [03:12] ok [03:13] paste the url on here [03:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1133645/ [03:13] SilverZ, looking good [03:14] SilverZ, now type: echo "b43" >> /etc/modules [03:14] !nomodeset | highbuzz [03:14] highbuzz: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [03:14] gr33n7007h, permission denied [03:15] SilverZ, sorry prefix with sudo [03:15] my desktop config keeps resetting when i restart, like the buttons in my launch bar n window decorations, im using 10.04, how can i stop this from happening? [03:15] highbuzz, follow the link to insert nomodeset in the kernel to boot in and update and look in additional drivers. [03:15] so sudo echo "br3" >> /etc/modules [03:15] sudo echo "b43" >> /etc/modules [03:16] gr33n7007h, still permission denied or do I need to go back to the original folder? [03:16] SilverZ, type: sudo -i [03:17] ok I'm root@computer name now [03:17] I updated nvidia-current and lost my screen settings on reboot. Tracked it down to the module not being built for the kernel in use. See pastebin http://pastebin.com/fscMNGEj [03:17] now type: echo "b43" >> /etc/modules [03:17] did, right back at the command line [03:17] gr33n7007h: SilverZ: The proper way to append output to a file which can only be written to by root is "echo foo | sudo tee -a /path/to/file" [03:18] SilverZ, You out of root? [03:18] no I'm still root [03:18] ^^^ Jordan_U +1 [03:18] type: exit [03:19] ok back to ben [03:19] SilverZ, now reboot to see if the module loads [03:19] do i need to type what Jordan_U posted? [03:19] SilverZ, no he was just telling you the proper way [03:20] ah, ok, I'll reboot, cya in a bit [03:20] kk [03:20] hi [03:24] gr33n7007h thank you, I am connected to the internet WITHOUT WIRES!! [03:24] SilverZ, good to hear [03:24] null1024: sorry to bother you but i have a small problem with wine1.4 [03:25] gr33n7007h, thanks again, if you ever have car questions, don't hesitate to ask =D [03:25] SilverZ, haha lol [03:25] null1024: a message poped up in the terminal and sais configuration ttf-mscorefonts-installer, what should i do? [03:26] Hi! [03:26] gr33n7007h, I need to learn a good amount about linux/ubuntu, would probably pay off since I'm going to be studying engineering here soon [03:26] SilverZ, You'll get used to it trust me ;) [03:27] gr33n7007h, word. take care [03:27] I am trying to clone an OEM 12.04 but clonezilla 1.2.8 fails at 98% every time. Can anyone help me with this? [03:27] SilverZ, will do [03:27] Can anyone help me from stopping my desktop config from ressetting everytime i boot? [03:30] ubottu and wilee-nilee: thank you. [03:30] highbuzz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:30] gr33n7007h: That was more exciting than the Olympic games. :-) [03:31] !cookies | gr33n7007h [03:31] gr33n7007h: Cookies are delicious delicacies. [03:31] highbuzz, your in cool. ;) [03:32] W4sp, lmao we got there in the end [03:32] you're* [03:33] gr33n7007h: I admire your patience, skills and guts. === infinity_ is now known as BlackWeb [03:34] W4sp, You have to with some [03:35] Gyro54, besides here there is a #clonezilla channel only 9 people there though [03:36] Just curious if anyone would know how to set up a Network interface, Which I installed 12.04 Server, & didnt have it connected to my network at the time of install so that after installation then the eth0 wasnt setup to activate so I went in started it up and it looked like it was having a hard time setting it up as a DHCP interface. Which configure /etc/network/interfaces so that it read "auto lo eth0" which would start the inter [03:36] face but failed to grab its ip from router would anyone know how to set it up as DCHP [03:37] anyone know why i would get this running lspci -v " [03:37] 3D controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) [03:37] !!! Unknown header type 7f [03:37] mkquist: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:37] oops [03:37] Wheres Dr_willis [03:38] BlackWeb, auto eth0, don't touch auto lo [03:38] <_skpl> is it possible to re-install unity? [03:38] so if I change it so that it read auto eth0 then will it activate the interface as DHCP, to where it [03:38] it'll grab its IP from router [03:38] _skpl, what brings you to needing to, hyou can set it back to stock. [03:38] you* [03:39] so I'll have two lines "auto eth0"; "auto lo" [03:39] <_skpl> well whenever i click on a running app, it doesnt bring the app up, i dont know why [03:39] Or would i have to set it up to obtain its address from router also [03:39] BlackWeb, auto lo [03:39] _skpl, try alt-f2 and rub unity --reset [03:40] run* [03:40] ya before touching the file it just had that "auto lo" I thought it was the loopback adapter [03:40] Hello [03:40] <_skpl> wilee-nilee: thanks, that worked :D [03:40] Which trying to decide if my best bet is to just reinstall the system with it connected or if theres a way so that the eth0 interface will have a DHCP IP [03:41] _skpl, cool, enjoy. ;) [03:41] my computer restarted when i was installing wine 1.4, now i get like this error message saying i should run the package manager [03:41] how do i do that? [03:43] does anyone know why my computer might not have suspend enabled by default? Can't see it in the menu - ubuntu 12.04 [03:44] Sakorty, if it rebooted during a install you may just need to free it up run this in a terminal sudo apt-get -f install [03:45] hello [03:45] never used wine so I don't know if it is supposed to reboot [03:45] wilee-nilee: it sais uable to lock the administration directory [03:45] Sakorty, you have the software center or synaptic open [03:46] How can i set an automatic Shut down after some amount of time on my lubuntu??? [03:46] software center should not mater though [03:46] wilee-nilee: sorry im new to all this, i dont understand what you mean [03:46] How can i set an automatic Shut down after some amount of time on my lubuntu??? [03:46] Sakorty, run the package manager [03:46] how do i do that?: from yout command line: $ sudo apt-get -f install [03:46] Sakorty, how did you start the wine install to begin with? [03:47] David_Away, read the shutdown man page; its on there [03:47] wilee-nilee: uhm, i think it was sudo apt-get install wine1.4 [03:47] Where sc30317 ? [03:47] David_Away, open a terminal [03:47] man shutdown [03:47] Sakorty, have you installed synaptic? [03:47] read [03:47] profit [03:47] wilee-nilee: dont think so... [03:47] david, !# shutdown [03:48] write a script [03:48] Sakorty, try this command if it does not error run the last one again. sudo dpkg --configure -a [03:48] wait, isn't synaptic installed by default [03:48] wilee-nilee, why would he need synaptic? apt-get, apt-cache and aptitude should do it right [03:48] null1024, not now in 12.04 [03:48] ah [03:48] * null1024 upgraded from 10.04 [03:48] Guest84917, did I say he needed it? [03:49] wilee-nilee, it sais its locked by another process [03:49] anyone know why i keep getting xorg panics on live-persistant FDE lucid usb. i have no swap. i've figured too much for usb to handle [03:49] wilee-nilee, you mention it trying luck as his best option, which it isn't [03:49] Sakorty, generally if a instaler is open already you get that error. [03:49] installer [03:49] so i type shutdown +60 ? [03:49] in terminal? [03:50] shutdown -h +60 [03:50] wilee-nilee, well my pc just crashed in the middle of the installation [03:50] as root [03:50] Guest84917, No I ask to make sure there are no open installers. [03:50] how can i be root? [03:50] David_Away, make sense [03:50] sc30317 [03:50] Hi does anybody knows how to configure an apache server behind squid (two different servers, same LAN, both Ubuntu)? [03:50] David_Away, are you new to linux? :) [03:50] yes installed today xD [03:50] David_Away: prefix commands with sudo [03:51] i have to go sleep [03:51] !sudo | David_Away [03:51] David_Away: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:51] David_Away: so sudo shutdown -h +60 [03:51] David_Away, http://www.linfo.org/root.html [03:51] ok [03:51] wilee-nilee, oh i c, clever [03:51] i often forget how much gui oriented is ubuntu :P [03:51] thanks ,it didnt say Setted timer or anything [03:51] i hope it will work [03:52] why some sites are not opening on my pc namely facebook, way2sms etc.? [03:52] reasearcher123, can u elaborate on that? [03:52] hmm so what do i do about this problem? [03:52] Guest84917, the error suggests that just checking the possibilities with my walnut sized brain. ;) [03:53] Sakorty, not sure I can get you an answer but stay on the channel. [03:53] wilee-nilee, i guess ill go back and search the forums some more [03:53] All websites can open on my pc except a few one like www.facebook.com www.way2sms.com, www.tatasky.com etc. [03:54] wilee-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?" lol [03:55] you never know what is going on, or what has happened. [03:55] reasearcher123, well, i must that if u can't open www.faceshit.com you're a lucky person [03:55] :D [03:55] reasearcher123, now, what error message do you see? [03:55] reasearcher123, which browser do you use? [03:56] no error message.Just it takes eternity and never opens [03:56] Hey, I'm setting up 23:51 < Guest84917> wilee-nilee, oh i c, clever [03:57] reasearcher123, from where are you trying to access those sites? sometimes net administrators puts a proxy to filter people access to internet and to block such sites [03:57] im not behind any firewall [03:57] reasearcher123, some examples could be a school, an institute and so on [03:57] reasearcher123, not a firewall, a proxy [03:57] I dont have proxy filter [03:58] ok, did you tried turn it off and on again? [03:58] in fat it opens from my college where we have proxy but does not open from home [03:58] :D [03:58] (I love The IT C) [03:58] reasearcher123, ok, so you're browsing the net with a notebook [03:59] desktop [03:59] hey, 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] hey 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. [04:00] Nach0z, master, esta es la mejor forma: you need to set the immutable bit [04:01] Nach0z, $ sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf will make the file immutable, that is, no one even root can change that file [04:02] hm. that might work. thanks [04:02] it's very common to have /etc/resolv.conf immutable if one uses his own set of dns servers, like opendns, google dns or level43 [04:02] googledns ftw [04:02] anyone got experience on live-persistent usb's [04:03] in fact, i recommend using dns-crypt with opendns so that way every query to dns will be encrypted from your isp [04:03] pretty, isn't it? :) [04:03] hm [04:03] whats up kill_box [04:03] actually [04:03] Guest84917: can't chattr +i [04:03] Nach0z, why not? [04:03] keep gettin xorg panics [04:04] operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.con [04:04] usb just not reliable? [04:04] *conf [04:04] let me see... [04:04] Guest84917: Also tried on /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, still no dice [04:04] what kind of hardware are you running? [04:04] anyone help with nvidia driver activated but not in use in 11.04? [04:04] Nach0z, yeah, i remember now about this, give me a minute [04:05] mkquist have you tried to deactive the driver, and use the binary from nvidia? [04:05] Nach0z: Have you checked what DNS server is configured in network-manager? [04:05] Guest84917: somewhere here says to add the "acl" option to automount points in fstab [04:05] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/setup-static-dns-servers-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ Nach0z Guest84917 [04:05] anyone using choqok here? [04:05] Jordan_U: it changes depending on what wifi I'm attached to [04:06] Nach0z, yup, you are right [04:06] i forget about acl [04:06] hi [04:07] reasearcher123, still there? [04:07] xangua: thanks a ton bud, that is actually a good plan [04:07] yes still there === are is now known as Guest38505 [04:07] But my question is, why the hellfire would Ubuntu change the nameservers to localhost by default? That CANNOT be someone's idea of "user friendly". [04:07] This is a just-got-installed Ubuntu btw, like four hours ago === root_359 is now known as thothstriangle [04:08] reasearcher123, hey, let's see, are you connected wired to the net? [04:08] wired [04:08] KBentley57: tried installing the driver from Nvidia, but funny thing is ive installed on this machine before with no problem [04:08] KBentley57: oh yeah no go on installed from Nvidia driver [04:08] Nach0z, it's ubuntu dude, i see all kind of strange things happening here, lol [04:08] mkquist, what is the problem you are having exactly [04:09] NICK are [04:09] So... sudo update-grub has been running for over 30 mins. Safe to CTRL-C or asking for trouble?? [04:09] KBentley57: at this point driver activated but not in use [04:09] I'm attempting to cross compile some tools for arm. Any takers on a question or two? [04:09] reasearcher123, please open a console and do: $ cat /etc/hosts and tell me if you see facebook.com there [04:09] these are awesome questions, i have a dumb one unfortunately, related to a wireless NIC on 12.04 LTS [04:10] mkquist: is there an error [EE] entry in /var/log/Xorg.log that says 'Unable to load module nvidia'? [04:10] mkquist, did you uninstall the old driver first? [04:11] got the messgae:no such file or directory [04:11] gahhhh. fuggit. now changes to dhclient.conf aren't being accepted [04:11] blarghl [04:11] somsip: I wouldn't. Are you running low on battery? [04:11] when 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 laptop [04:11] somsip: no [04:11] reasearcher123, no wat, /etc/hosts must be there, try again [04:11] somsip: 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] $ cat /etc/hosts [04:12] Jordan_U: you're a star. Thank you. [04:12] yes got some lines out [04:12] somsip: You're welcome. [04:12] mkquist: any entries relating to nvidia module in the Xorg.log? [04:12] please c here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1133698/ [04:12] KBentley57: ive gone so far as to purge nvidia-current and reinstall it [04:13] mkquist: I'm doing the same thing - was it upgrade to 295.40? [04:13] mkquist, I see. Can you tell me the name of the nvidia card you have? Just for reference [04:13] KBentley57: 310M [04:13] reasearcher123, well, you have a fairly default hosts file so facebook isn't blocked thru it [04:13] somsip: is that the new one? [04:13] mkquist, is it a laptop with switchable graphics? [04:13] KBentley57: yep [04:13] Nach0z: Is this happening with more than one wireless network (or wireless networks configured by different organisations)? The DHCP server may simply be configured incorrectly. [04:14] true but still facebook problem remains [04:14] KBentley57: worked before though just fine... [04:14] mkquist: 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] reasearcher123, moving next: can it be your ISP is blocking those sites? when was the last time you could succefully access those sites? [04:14] KBentley57: I think this all started with trying to upgrade to the newer nvidia driver... [04:14] 2 weeks ago [04:14] mkquist, 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 cards [04:14] mkquist: so maybe worth sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current && uname -r to see if its the same for you [04:15] reasearcher123, 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] KBentley57: version 1 of 295.40 had some bugs for some 8XXX cards reported around April, with the v1.1 supposedly fixing them [04:15] ok? [04:16] somsip: already did that one, purged and reinstalled nvidia-current [04:16] reasearcher123, 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] mkquist: and were there any error messages? Like here http://pastebin.com/fscMNGEj [04:16] possible [04:16] cant figure out what [04:17] reasearcher123, did you try accessing with another browser? are you using any plugin that _potentially_ could block your web access? [04:17] mkquist, Somsip, can you revert to the older driver? [04:17] google chrom n firefox both tried [04:17] somsip: nope [04:18] KBentley57: 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] mkquist: ok - worth a try in case it was a similar error [04:18] hi 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 thx [04:18] reasearcher123, ok, let's go dirty, first things first: please switch to a console and write: $ ping www.facebook.com [04:18] reasearcher123, let' be sure that we can actually access the site === Guest39443 is now known as IlikeMoose [04:19] somsip, mkquist, wish I could be of more help, but I can't think of anything to try off the top of my head. Try searching the ubuntu forums if you haven't already. I usually only mess with AMD/ATI cards. good luck though [04:19] 7 received 12%packet loss [04:19] be back, time to black list nouveau and reboot [04:19] Jordan_U: it's happening with every wifi network I try to connect to [04:19] KBentley57: thanks anyway [04:19] mkquist: what is your uname -r output? [04:20] I want to recharge DishTV from www.tatasky.com that too fails to open [04:20] KBentley57: =) [04:20] Jordan_U: so, four different home networks at least, one of which is mine (and I don't have this issue on, say, openSUSE) [04:20] have to go to office.will work later.Thanks for the support.Bye [04:20] somsip: 2.6.38-15-generic [04:20] Nach0z: Earlier you said "it changes depending on what wifi I'm attached to". What did you mean by that? [04:21] and is 'nvidia-current.ko' listed in /var/lib/{kernel}/updates/dkms ? [04:21] Jordan_U: meant that it changes back to 127.0.0.1 if I change wifi signals, sorry [04:28] I have a 1490 DW broadcom nic in my laptop that wont recognizes my wireless router under I run the following commands $ sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb and $ sudo modprobe b43, any thoughts on how to resolve? [04:29] Nach0z: Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug network-manager". [04:31] hello ubuntu people, I need some help installing ubuntu! === zach_ is now known as Guest23291 [04:32] nick are [04:32] Nach0z: 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. [04:33] hello [04:33] I need some support, anybody there? [04:34] Jordan_U: aight. [04:34] ImStanding, go ahead with your questions. Introductions are not expected on irc. [04:34] Jordan_U: is it possible that something in the home directory could be influencing it? [04:35] davidrsmorris I have an HP Pavilion ze4600 here and I can't get it to install ubuntu [04:36] ImStanding: will it boot the livecd? [04:36] I don't know what liveCD is. Is that just the 32 bit cd I burned to the disc? [04:37] ImStanding: yes, if it was the approximately 700 mb image. [04:37] yeah [04:37] davidrsmorris I don't know what liveCD is. Is that just the 32 bit cd I burned to the disc? [04:37] Nach0z: 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). [04:38] yeah, 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 advance [04:38] ImStanding: are you on IRC on a separate machine? Are you running Ubuntu from the disk? [04:38] Nach0z: You might want to check "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" to see if it has "dns=dnsmasq", and if so, comment that line out [04:38] davidrsmorris I am on a seperate laptop, and I have the problematic laptop next to me [04:39] 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] davidrsmorris yes I booted from the disk [04:42] ImStanding: 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] Nach0z: 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] it has been making the same (annoying) noise the entire time. I feel like it is still thinking/working haha... davidrsmorris [04:44] TJ-: thanks bud [04:44] ImStanding: 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. [04:45] okay davidrsmorris give me a few minutse [04:45] minutes* [04:46] one quick thing... I assume the laptop is 32 bit, am I correct? [04:46] davidrsmorris [04:47] What kinda laptop? [04:48] davidrsmorris are you there? [04:48] 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_Line [04:49] How 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] systemd0wn: Check out the system logs in /var/logs/ ... in particular kern.log, syslog and Xorg.0.log [04:49] ImStanding: The 32bit CD is right for your machine if it got you to the splash. [04:49] TJ- 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.... davidrsmorris [04:50] TJ-, Thank you very much. [04:50] OMG.. too much crap to type. [04:50] davidrsmorris [04:50] ImStanding: There might be a CD read error ... removing "quiet splash" will show if the kernel reports failed reads [04:50] What are you saying TJ- [04:51] ImStanding: You probably want to try ubuntu first. And that menu should have a "check cd for errors" option which you should use. [04:51] 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 dark [04:51] Shall I stop the current progress? davidrsmorris TJ- [04:51] ImStanding: 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. [04:52] 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] ImStanding: whilst its going... don't tempt fate and stop it :p [04:53] davidrsmorris 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] ImStanding: That sounds sensible. Often the hardest part is the CD/DVD based installation. [04:53] My problem before was that I only saw the desktop, but now I see "stopping mount network filesystems" [04:54] ImStanding: 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] davidrsmorris TJ- CHANGE IN PROGRESS!!! I see the pretty UBUNTU desktop screen now [04:54] which is where I became STUCK before. davidrsmorris TJ- [04:54] ImStanding: That sounds good. Often we underestimate how long a CD-based boot will take [04:54] ImStanding: You got a mouse cursor? [04:54] yes sir [04:54] davidrsmorris TJ- [04:55] 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 clues [04:55] How long does it usually take for a window to popup? davidrsmorris TJ- [04:55] The mouse doesn't move [04:55] and I see text again davidrsmorris TJ- [04:55] ImStanding: I've known it take 5 minutes on slow systems/CD drives... go get a coffee and come back :p [04:56] haha, except I am 14 and this is too late lol TJ- [04:56] ImStanding: Does the mouse move? [04:56] ImStanding: You'll be 15 by the time its done :p [04:56] hahaha... davidrsmorris: no TJ- LOL [04:57] hello [04:57] Stick to the terminal and ditch the mouse === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [04:57] I am very proud of myself. I fixed one computer yesterday that had a bad virus on windows XP. So I saw a need for a wipeout and then I took the free way UBUNTU. And realize its more reliable [04:57] davidrsmorris TJ- I don't see text anymore, just a black screen with the mouse [04:57] ImStanding: Congratulations on seeing the light :D [04:57] drinxtir: you remind me of my Arch days. [04:58] ImStanding: Is the mouse responding... what kind of mouse device does the laptop have? touchpad? usb external mouse? [04:58] LOL.. drinxtir if you need to talk to me, say my name in your text, otherewise I won't read it :P [04:58] TJ- It responds now, and it is touchpad [04:58] ImStanding: Slow but steady progess then [04:58] davidrsmorris TJ- Now a gray screen [04:59] ImStanding: can u hear me now? Rofl [04:59] yes drinxtir [04:59] haha [05:00] ImStanding: useful information: most Linux's in multiuser mode start several terminals (ttys) and run the GUI on tty7 or tty8 ... You can get to those other (text) terminals from the GUI by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1...F7 ... and you can return to the GUI by pressing Alt+F7 or F8 [05:00] i'm trying to setup a shortcut dir of this path /home/user/downloads in this path /jail/glftpd/site/ [05:00] how do i do this? i tried using mount but didn't really succeeded [05:01] TJ- LOL I have no idea what you just said [05:01] ImStanding: You can use those terminals to diagnose problems and view system boot messages when you have serious problems that prevent GUI use [05:01] ImStanding: if you look closely, it might be a weave of white and black. [05:01] johni: man ln [05:01] johni: ln -s /home/user/downloads /jail/glftpd/site/downloads [05:01] davidrsmorris TJ- david: no it's not [05:02] TJ- Is there a cheat sheet for this? Lol because I can't remember shortcuts easily. [05:03] ImStanding: 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] davidrsmorris TJ- still gray screen [05:03] what is the verbose boot? davidrsmorris [05:03] ImStanding: Your first one is hard, but as you memorize more, you get better at it. [05:03] Imstanding, ctrl+alt+f1 should show the kernel output. [05:03] Or f8 [05:03] I can't member [05:04] ImStanding: Where you told it to tell you what it was doing as it started up instead of showing you a progress bar. [05:04] oh davidrsmorris [05:04] ImStanding: "verbose" means being very wordy... lots of messages [05:04] davidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir Okay so I pressed f8 and now I see... ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:05] ImStanding: we use it in computing alot to describe a program providing lots of information on what it is doing [05:05] And black? that'd you tty8 imstanding [05:05] ImStanding: that's what we call a shell prompt. Like the C:\> prompt on Windows. You can run commands from it do most anything [05:06] like look on facebook? Lol jk [05:06] davidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir why hasn't it done anything? [05:06] ImStanding: Here's a starts guide so you know how to control it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto [05:06] Your in a terminal. Start commanding it! Lol [05:06] ImStanding: still grey? [05:07] davidrsmorris, nope now it is black. [05:07] and I see ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:07] ImStanding: try this command: "whoami" [05:07] ImStanding: great, you're at a command line. [05:07] Login imstanding [05:07] drinxtir: It's already logged in; it's the live CD [05:07] O.o [05:07] tj- thank u [05:08] but it still didn't help me.. [05:08] TJ- It says ubuntu again [05:08] lol [05:08] 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 mount [05:08] Are you trying to install imstanding [05:09] ImStanding: That's correct... that is telling you that the current user is "ubuntu" [05:09] drinxtir I am trying to install ubuntu on a very old laptop :0 [05:09] davidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir so what do I do???!!! [05:09] yeah [05:09] 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] how to do that? [05:10] TJ- it is directly plugged into my router [05:10] get a server copy that has alternative install. Imstanding [05:10] drinxtir what??????? [05:10] No gui [05:10] johni: "sudo mkdir -p /jail/glftpd/site/downloads; sudo mount --bind /home/user/downloads /jail/glftpd/site/downloads" [05:11] ImStanding: Great! [05:11] Then if it installs you might be able to get ubuntu-desktop imstanding [05:11] ImStanding: OK, now type this: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" [05:11] ImStanding: that will install a package that helps you paste text from programs directly to a web site [05:12] TJ- looks like it failed shit up..lol I see lots of text [05:13] davidrsmorris what are your thoughts on what I should do [05:13] ImStanding: Do you see anything that reads to be an error? [05:13] everything [05:13] ImStanding: Give me an example here... of something that sounds bad to you? [05:13] TJ-every line has an error [05:13] Hello all!! [05:13] ImStanding: It might just be something silly like the network not configured... which we can fix [05:13] why not work update error in ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala ? [05:14] SQUASHFS error: unable to read page, block 376ab47, size f960 [05:14] TJ- [05:14] !9.10 | Charlos [05:14] Charlos: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. [05:14] ImStanding: YAY! that's what we need! That is a read error from the disk causing corruption of the boot image [05:14] hey does anyone else use Awesome wm and ALSA? [05:14] davidrsmorris: best to just ask your actual question [05:14] TJ- what do I do? [05:14] ImStanding: wait a moment whilst I find out how we can run the CD integrity check from the terminal [05:15] TJ- sure. [05:15] Imstanding http://mirror.as29550.net/releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso [05:15] So, my friend is trying to decide how to partition his laptop for Ubuntu. [05:15] He has 8 GB of RAM - how much swap should he use? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:15] I try to upgrade 9.10 to 10.04.3 LTS is good work ???? [05:15] Imstanding you'll need the alternate install if the gui fails to load [05:16] drinxtir: You're confusing the issue right now... if there's a hardware CD drive error using the alternate installer will not solve the issue [05:16] tj- thank ! very good [05:16] Charlos: read the information ubottu just gave you [05:16] !upgrade | Charlos [05:16] Charlos: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:16] ImStanding: what speed did you write the disk at? You generally can't write it at the highest speed your burner offers... [05:16] Tj- true... :/ [05:17] davidrsmorris, Idk i never specified [05:17] Does anyone have an Delightful widget ALSA mixer or should I write my own? [05:17] I am waiting for TJ- to lookup my answer :D [05:17] ImStanding: I'm working on it... hold your horses! [05:18] I know TJ- I was informing the other two people trying to help [05:18] ImStanding: look through the settings on whatever you used to burn the disk image, setting the speed lower is really important. [05:19] davidrsmorris I don't remember seeing the option. [05:19] How do I set a geoclue location? [05:20] ImStanding: Look through menus, or search the help. It will probably be in a menu between speeds like 4x, 8x, and 16x. [05:20] kk [05:21] davidrsmorris: 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] Imstanding is it a thinkpad you're trying to install on by chance? [05:21] no.. hp pavilion ze4600 drinxtir [05:22] ImStanding: I'm checking a liveCD here to find the location of the CD checker tool [05:22] TJ- I don't know what you want me to do. [05:22] Lol... sorry [05:22] ImStanding: A coffee would be nice :p [05:22] hahaha [05:23] TJ- [05:24] Imstanding do an apt-cache search integrity and see if a cd integrity tool pops up. I'm on my phone so I can't [05:24] drinxtir, i don't know what you want me to do.. what do I type? [05:25] Imstanding apt-cache search integrity [05:25] zykotick9: Did you shoehorn that into the tray? [05:25] okay drinxtir.. one sec [05:25] davidrsmorris: no, it's external to awesome. [05:25] and then hit enter [05:26] davidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir I think it just froze.. I can't type [05:26] Its searching [05:27] drinxtir I haven't typed what you wanted me to yet. [05:27] Imstanding try ctrl+c [05:27] ImStanding: That's a telepathic PC then :p [05:27] what does ctrl c do drinxtir [05:27] zykotick9: 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? [05:28] ImStanding: Ctrl+C tells any command running now to stop. [05:28] davidrsmorris: lol, sorry no. moc (aka mocp) has a terminal switch that i rig into my awesome menu ;) [05:28] davidrsmorris: for vol up/down i mean... [05:28] zykotick9: thanks. I'll see if I can code lua now... [05:29] davidrsmorris TJ- drinxtir my freaking computer is making noise but I can't type and ctrl c does nothing. shall I restart? [05:29] Ctrl+d [05:29] zykotick9: music on console? [05:29] ? [05:29] 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 off [05:30] ImStanding: 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] k its odd [05:30] off [05:30] davidrsmorris: 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] I'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? [05:31] ImStanding: so now you can Check the disk for defects when you next start that liveCD, OK? [05:31] how do i configure rsnapshot to take a shot of both my drives? [05:31] TJ- What do I do to get back to that menu? [05:31] I see "Ubuntu 12.04" [05:32] ImStanding: Check this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Troubles_with_a_LiveCD [05:32] ImStanding: You should see a menu similar to what is shown [05:33] Imho u need the alternate install... [05:33] TJ- I don't know what screen you mean [05:33] what picture? [05:34] ImStanding: 2nd screen shot on that page [05:34] ImStanding: after the "Using your LiveCD" heading [05:34] zykotick9 thanks for your help, and good luck ImStanding. I'm running low on battery and I need to get sleep. [05:35] k [05:35] Tj- that's 9.10 [05:35] thanks [05:35] TJ- what button do I hit to make that menu popup [05:35] drinxtir: I know... someone's not updated the pages! Best I could do on the spur of the moment though [05:36] ImStanding: I *think* the Check CD option is got to from one of the functions on the bottom of the screen [05:36] I don't see anything but "ubuntu 12.04" [05:36] is it possible to back rsnapshot up to an external drive then use rsnapshot-diff after on a daily basis?

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] On older systems I always go for the text installer [05:50] !md5sum | ImStanding check all the ISO's [05:50] ImStanding check all the ISO's: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:50] whats the command to show all /dev?

[06:51] ImStanding: the usual suggestion is to use a different brand of discs... do you have any rewriteables to save wasting discs? [06:51] TJ- brb [06:52] yes [06:52] Linux is crappy, should end. Windows for the future [06:52] how do i tell rsnapshot to snapshot sda and sbd then save to sdc? [06:52] before i trash the install, anyone interested in seeing what it looks like? [06:53] http://i.imgur.com/NLFRw.jpg - my desktop [06:53] alexey_knyshev: Dod you capture a log of the build so we can read it? If not, run it again but capture to a log file doing "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot 2>&1 | tee build.log" [06:55] does wine use windows library to run games? [06:56] !ping [06:56] another contentless ping... sigh... [06:56] !ping [06:57] lol [06:57] The PING request on sergiu has timed out [06:57] wow someone just dissed linux in a linux support then asked about a windows emulator for linux never thought i'd see spmething that absurd. [06:58] does that wine use windows closed-source library to run games [06:58] :) [06:58] its a troll, its a troll! ...hmm its alive! ... [06:58] dzup hi [06:59] its morning so noone answer [06:59] sergiu: /join #ubuntu-social [06:59] does anyone know, wine does use windows files for games [06:59] oh [06:59] not here [06:59] sergiu did windows force their browser on everyone then get in trouble for it and 5 years later release an epic fail of an os? [07:00] sergiu: No, Wine doesn't use Windows files. [07:00] fishbait i don't use windows, Iron SWare [07:00] I'd think #wine might be a better place for that question [07:00] Hi [07:01] its wine-hq iirc [07:01] Flannel, i just want to install linux and some games with wine, just don't want some microsoft file in wine [07:01] wondering whether to use 32 or 64 bit [07:01] or closed library [07:01] Or even #winehq [07:01] sergiu: That's fine. Wine is LGPL. [07:01] or winehq [07:01] No, there are no windows files within WINE [07:01] it is fully from scratch [07:02] livingdaylight: how much RAM does the PC have? more than 2GB you might see advantages using the 64-bit installation. [07:02] I have i 3 with 8gb of ram [07:02] http://pastebin.com/PVYwgYcD [07:02] livingdaylight: definitely use 64-bit then [07:02] sergiu: its a troll question i'm trying to get a small bit of vengence for them being so useless when i'm asking about rsnapshot [07:02] If you have more than 4gb of ram, you need to use 64bit. [07:02] oh then it's good) Can' belive wine can run big games like wow without using microsoft library [07:03] i have 6gb ram andim running 32bit fine [07:03] fishbait> what yout q with rsnapshit [07:03] rsnapshot* [07:03] Well, 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 sense [07:03] TJ-, 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] how do i tell rsnapshot to snapshot sda and sbd then save to sdc? [07:04] alexey_knyshev: looking now... give me a minute [07:04] livingdaylight: no, 8gb of ram = use 64bit, period. [07:04] hwkiller-netbook, ok, that's an authoritative and affimative confirmation :) [07:04] 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) RAM [07:04] 32bit is more stable [07:05] drinxtir: Not at all, there is no difference! [07:05] There really is no difference nowadays [07:05] hwkiller-netbook> oh ye, this is so easy, how i could not understand that early [07:05] once upon a time, maybe [07:05] I guess its been a while since I've checked on it [07:05] 32 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 impossible [07:06] lst i heard there were a few apps that wre having issues ono 64bit however i dont recall th apps [07:06] 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 memory [07:06] It'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] the source code is there for the compilation [07:06] hwkiller-netbook: precisely! [07:06] It's the same code [07:07] If someone is writing code that is specific to 32bit, then they are doing it wrong. [07:07] mmm apps that need hardwaRE access could be troublesome [07:07] not really [07:07] the kernel is 64bit. [07:08] they just need to interface w/ kernel. [07:08] Again, if an app is trying to access hardware directly, then they are doing it wrong. That's what kernel interfaces are for. [07:08] well i'm talkin bout specific hardwAre access like anti virus apps and diagnostic ones [07:08] I retract my previous statement. [07:08] alexey_knyshev: log4qt isn't in the Ubuntu archives. Are you building this yourself? I suspect there's an issue with the build configuration [07:08] hwkiller-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? [07:09] 4gb [07:09] if you have >=4gb, then use 64bit [07:09] hwkiller-netbook, thank you [07:09] livingdaylight: Well, I run it with 2GB or more and it feels better ... been using 64bit for several years now [07:09] Honestly, if you have >=3gb, go ahead and use 64bit [07:09] TJ: yes, myself, could your help me with it?) [07:10] if you have a 64bit capable cpu, there is no reason to use 32bit OS. whatever your RAM-size is [07:10] alexey_knyshev: Do you have a git repository I can clone from? === mimor_ is now known as mimor [07:10] TJ-, i recall there used to be issues with getting flash? and stuff set up on 64-bit, but maybe we're beyond that now [07:10] 4gb or less 32 4GB or more 64 thats the basic understanding of course this presumes a 64bit cpu [07:10] 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 before [07:11] yeah i have flash running on 64 bit [07:11] 32bit 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] TJ-, excellent. That's good to know - reassuring. Thank you. :) [07:11] hwkiller-netbook: with PAE you can address more than 4GB (still in 4GB chunks). But PAE is ugly [07:11] and slo [07:11] slow* [07:11] For a 32-bit system you can only address 2.5-3GB of RAM since the other 1GB+ is required by the pci-iomem memory-mapped devices [07:12] Right [07:12] TJ: I can give u upstream url and our rmp "succesfull build" fork [07:12] livingdaylight: 64bit is really polished now not a lot of issues like before [07:12] btw, how do we determine if our CPU supports 64-bit? [07:12] TJ: rpm* [07:12] if your system has 8gb of ram, I'm betting it's 64bit :p [07:12] livingdaylight: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo [07:12] If the system has a video card with a large memory space that has to be mapped below the 4GB line, then Linux has problems if you have more than 2GB RAM installed [07:13] moin [07:13] livingdaylight: check the specifications of the manufacturer [07:13] oops, sry [07:13] If it's core2duo or up, it's 64bit. [07:13] how do i tell rsnapshot to snapshot sda and sbd then save the snapshots to sdc1 a.. /dev of course :) [07:13] If you have amd, chances are it's 64bit, tbh, they've had that for a while [07:14] TJ-, I believe my laptop is 64bit, but the Desktop I assembled with parts myself [07:14] what cpu is it, livingdaylight [07:14] If it's from the past 5 years, it's 64bit [07:14] most likely [07:15] fishbait, you don't, rsnapshot does not operate on block devices [07:15] hwkiller-netbook, lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) [07:15] livingdaylight: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo [07:15] livingdaylight: check /proc/cpuinfo "grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep fm" [07:15] TJ: http://gitorious.org/log4qt - upstream [07:15] IIRC ALL AMD procs are 64bit. AMD hasnt made a 32 bit [07:15] livingdaylight: check /proc/cpuinfo "grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm" [07:16] gnomefreak: wrong [07:16] http://git.altlinux.org/people/alexeyknyshev/packages/?p=log4qt.git;a=summary - our distro git [07:16] TJ: http://git.altlinux.org/people/alexeyknyshev/packages/?p=log4qt.git;a=summary - our distro git [07:16] TJ-, sudo: /proc/cpuinfo: command not found - I'm on a live cd here [07:17] alexey_knyshev: thanks. but where's your debian/ directory ... OK .... I'll pull from yours [07:17] Amd has had 64bit since amd64 [07:17] livingdaylight: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo no sudo [07:17] livingdaylight: just do "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [07:17] those cpus rocked back then too.. [07:17] llutz_: i have never seens an AADM bing 32 bit [07:17] livingdaylight: "lm" is one of the flags [07:17] livingdaylight: lm == long mode [07:17] damn my typing sucks [07:17] gnomefreak: all athlon/duron were (not athlon64) [07:17] llutz_: because it was a very long time ago, lol. amd has had 64bit for a long while. [07:18] chris|: what should i use to backup sda and sdb to sdc1 then? [07:18] hwkiller-netbook: tell it gnomefreak ;) [07:18] gnomefreak: Athlon K7s [07:18] err... woops [07:18] I was selling systems with Athlon's in back then; they beat the socks off Intel Pentiums [07:19] TJ: I made I first time, and because of our distro is rpm based I couldn't push debian specific changes to it [07:19] in those days .... could we come back to the topic now, please [07:19] TJ: But I can send u my local changes, if it can help u [07:19] yup, athlons were the shizzle back then [07:19] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/58U6tyXx [07:19] what should i use to backup sda and sdb to sdc1? [07:20] windows finally added 64 bit systems [07:20] fishbait: perhaps dd? rsync? [07:20] rsync would be safer [07:20] Rsync [07:20] alexey_knyshev: cloned your repo... yes I need your local changes... can you push an experimental branch to your git daemon? [07:21] +1 rsync [07:21] livingdaylight: yes, that's got "lm" mode [07:21] TJ-, long mode is good news then [07:21] TJ: I'm going to try... May be we can make private conversation for best results? [07:22] alexey_knyshev: of course [07:22] TJ-, ok, time to log off and get 64 bit then - been doing it all wrong, lol [07:22] Tj: thanks in advance [07:22] my /dev/sdb is my /home in /dev/sda will rsync work for this? [07:22] livingdaylight: good luck with that! make sure you're not relying on anything that is 32-bit only such as proprietary apps or games [07:23] TJ-, thank you === ubuntu is now known as Guest35862 [07:23] fishbait: rsync does everything very well [07:23] so probably, yes [07:25] ok ty now am i right that the command that will accomplish my goal is sudo rsync /dev/sda /dev/sdc1 ? [07:26] fishbait: sudo rsync -aux / /mnt/sdc1 rsync doesn't work on block-devices [07:26] ooh ty soo much' [07:28] hello folks [07:29] i finally have a backup soloution [07:29] coming with a quick question: are there any older daily builds for Firefox versions that come installed with ubuntu (e.g. Firefox 15) [07:31] older daily builds? I don't quite understand what you're asking? [07:32] We have a PPA for daily builds of several Mozilla projects: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [07:32] Firefox builds from mozilla follow a train development schedule [07:33] I can find nightly builds for Firefox on mozilla ftp (builds that are generated daily) [07:33] I'm interested in finding the corresponding builds which are packed from Ubuntu [07:33] See my previous comment about the Mozilla daily PPA [07:36] TJ: downloading the archive now, but I presume this is the latest one [07:36] I would need builds generated for, let's say, a month ago for a given version [07:36] If you add the PPA and use apt-get install / apt-get install upgrade, you'll get the latest build available [07:37] 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 = [07:38] does version cover all builds for a given version? [07:38] e.g: all bulds for F15 [07:38] You can browse the archive for the versions you want at the PPAs HTTP server directory: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-trunk/ [07:39] Where can I find instructions for 12.04 OEM install [07:40] TJ: I think the last link will be most helpful for what I need [07:40] thanks a lot [07:40] You can find the older version in the main archive: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ === mimor is now known as mimor_ [07:43] !netsplit [07:43] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[08:16] TJ-: ill take a look, thanks [08:16] My display has suddenly opened thinking its a laptop. I cant seem to be able to change the settings? [08:16] Hello guys [08:17] hi, 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] 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 disks [08:17] Gyro54, What do you mean by "thinking"? [08:18] TJ-: I don't really have a system disk now, just 5 media hdds...and been running freenas off of the usb stick [08:18] I am using ubuntu's default backup program to back up my home directory and its taking a long long time. My home directory is only ~30gb and its going over a local network to a windows share, but its uploading very very slow [08:18] but I'd like to be running sabnzbd, sickbeard and also plex media server [08:19] Grammasta: Ahh I see what you mean. You could install ubuntu server to a USB stick [08:19] Grammasta: after all it's just another storage device [08:19] luftikuss: It was a clean install working at 1920 as a wide screen display without problems then after a reboot it is running 1280x1040 and says it is a laptop. [08:20] TJ-: but would I be better off making a partition of ubuntu on one of my hdds ? [08:20] Gyro54: Did you install proprietary drivers in the last session before rebooting? [08:20] Grammasta: probably... but for testing, a USB device would do fine. [08:20] TJ- yes Nvidia [08:20] I want to set up a webgui to run most things off of too [08:20] Gyro54: OK ... sounds like you need to run "nvidia x settings" ... type "nvidia" in the dashboard [08:21] Grammasta: you means a web control panel? I've used webmin/virtualmin/usermin for years with great success. [08:21] TJ-: So can I get a installation to a usb stick and make the installer create a partition on one of my hdds without loosing any data that's already on there ? [08:22] TJ-: Yeah, been reading about webmin [08:22] !webmin [08:22] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[08:28] djdexter: or even --password='$somepasswordStartingWithDolar' [08:28] djdexter: in other words, surround the password with single quote marks so the shell doesn't interpret the $ symbol as a variable prefix [08:29] tj- Saved the configuration but after a reboot it went back to the old setting.

[08:49] lotuspsychje: The reason for my suggestion is that Xorg runs configuration settings during runtime and automatically, As you are not satisfied with this you need to averride the settings manually with your wcursre requirements. Auto-generating xorg.conf will not address your issue as it is the same as the autogenerated settings.

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [09:13] Benkinooby: 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.

[09:51] p> [09:51] multi_io: Yes, it's the main user of those facilities [09:51] what the problem ? [09:51] Anyone know how to prevent Ubuntu/apt from wrecking config files when you update? [09:51] my other computer is reading -54/2 ...and that is a vast difference. [09:51] TJ-: so the "alternate" and "desktop" iso support it, and the "desktop" iso doesn't? [09:51] errm [09:52] TJ- I'm going to paste the code up really quick. I kind of want to know what the hell happened, if anyone smarter then me wants to take a look at this I'd be really grateful. [09:52] TJ-: so the "alternate" and "server" iso support it, and the "desktop" iso doesn't? [09:52] TJ-: so when i type scp progov.log eli@10.0.1.179 [09:52] but he doesn't copy anything [09:52] Smashcat: separate /home usually does it for me... [09:52] http://pastebin.com/ZsjRgW1M [09:53] eli_: Any error messages? If so, can you pastbin them?

[09:53] i want to copy from a linux to windows [09:53] cfhowlett: No, i mean the config files in /etc. It's managed to mess up the dovecot config this time. Silly of me to do an update I guess - usually never update servers after install as I know ubuntu is pretty bad for this... [09:54] timfrost: the windows ip is 10.0.1.179 and the user is eli [09:54] eli_: and you have ssh-server running on the windows machine? [09:54] anybody here with ati radeon 6850? [09:55] Some of the package lists are normal, but at least %50 look like that. [09:55] llutz_:why??? i don't need it i have ssh server on the linux and putty client on windows [09:55] NuSuey: I have a 6870 which is close enough [09:55] eli_: you need it to scp that way [09:55] Blazemore: any problems with it? because i have many with my 6850 under linux [09:55] llutz_: you mean that i need ssh sserver on both host? [09:56] eli_: you need ssh-server on the host you want to connect to [09:56] eli_: in your case, the windows-machine === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [09:56] eli_: or use putty/pscp from windows to _pull_ the file from the linux-host [09:57] llutz_: the file i want is on the linux machine [09:57] eli_: and? you either can push it (copy via scp) or pull it [09:58] llutz_: have you the command i write befor? [09:58] eli_: read putty/pscp documentation [09:58] hhhhhh [09:59] TJ- That seemed to work! Thanks! [09:59] i will never do it llutz_ you have to understand the question befor you anwser any thing [09:59] NetRunnerBlack_: I know what happened" [09:59] eli_: you're welcome [09:59] * NetRunnerBlack_ listens to TJ-? [10:00] NetRunnerBlack_:Read that file you pasted... if you get far enough you'll realise it's the log-in screen from a captive WiFi portal asking you to log-in. [10:00] eli_ restate the question then.... somthings gotten lost in translation.. or theres a failure to communicate. [10:00] Right [10:00] 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 archive [10:01] NetRunnerBlack_: All archives use HTTP and regular web servers to host the packages [10:01] Ohhhh [10:01] NetRunnerBlack_: ive seen that at most public wifi places these days [10:01] NetRunnerBlack_: captive portals assume all HTTP users are browsers with users in front of them, not machine processes! [10:01] say me please how to add menu bar for newtork ???? [10:01] gotts use the browser first to hit ok for the places eula. [10:02] 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] 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.")" [10:03] 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] Paolas: that made no sence. give more details [10:04] NetRunnerBlack_, no cursing here [10:04] bazhang Sorry, my mistake. === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [10:04] ciao [10:05] !list [10:05] mady1978: No warez here!

[10:10] livingdaylight: It depends what you're running [10:10] livingdaylight: Do you want to be able to hibernate? [10:10] Does the old 2x amount of ram for Swap still apply? [10:10] livingdaylight: i wouldn't use swap even with 2 gigs [10:10] livingdaylight: i always put at least 512mb of swap. swap is needed if you want to hibernate [10:10] livingdaylight: If you have enough disk space, assign some swap. [10:10] Paolas: Read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [10:11] dr_willis: are you sure hibernate uses swap? And not some file on the system? [10:11] livingdaylight: Do you want to be able to hibernate the system eventually? If so, a large swap is a good idea - it's used for the hibernation image [10:11] hibernation is good, but I don't need to assign twice the amount of Ram for swap then? [10:11] livingdaylight: swap=ram+a little bit more. is common these days [10:11] supasnashbuhl: It uses swap. [10:11] having some trouble with upgrading [10:11] http://pastebin.com/UnXrzVZ0 [10:11] jpds: that's stupid.. [10:11] supasnashbuhl: Where else are you going to shove a copy of your working RAM? [10:11] 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. conky [10:11] theres something wrong bind9 but i dont know how to fix it.... [10:11] but what OpenJDK , Oracle (Sun) Java 6 , Oracle Java 7, IBM Java or GNU Compiler: that download ??? [10:12] jpds: idk somewhere inside / [10:12] so, on a 500gb HD with 8gb RAM how much swap is recommended? 16gb?? [10:12] jpds: but that's good to know [10:12] supasnashbuhl: thats stupid [10:12] livingdaylight: 10? [10:12] livingdaylight: swap=ram+a little bit more. is common these days [10:12] llutz_ / supasnashbuhl: No name calling, please; this has probably already been thought out by clever kernel developers. [10:12] livingdaylight: ifyou dont need hibernate then yoy can use less. [10:13] sry jpds [10:13] jpds: the stupid wasn't directed to any person. sorry. [10:13] dr_willis, does hibernation only work if 2x the amount of ram is assigned to swap? What if I gave it 4gb? [10:13] directed at? [10:13] whatever [10:14] livingdaylight: swap=ram+a little bit more for hibernate [10:14] Hello all Recently I Updated to ubuntu 12.04 LTS [10:14] livingdaylight: Swap involves putting ALL of your memory into swap. [10:14] livingdaylight: 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 though [10:14] livingdaylight: Hibernate involves* [10:14] and I am unsatisfied by its performance [10:14] Wuschii: see this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/886333 [10:14] Launchpad bug 886333 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "invoke-rc.d mishandles runlevels 0 and 6" [Undecided,New] [10:15] i don't understand why there can't be a scalable swap, so that IF it's needed it will allocate some space on the drive.. [10:15] thanks TJ [10:15] livingdaylight: So you're going to need the amount of RAM you have, plus a little bit more. [10:15] Facing a bug since upgrade to 12.04LTS [10:15] supasnashbuhl: You could use a swap file. [10:15] can any onr help ?????????? [10:15] supasnashbuhl: There would be a massive performance hit if you did that with swap. [10:15] prakash: You need to give more details on the issue. [10:15] jpds: Linux using a swap partition so it can write direct and fast to the block device; it doesn't have to go through the VFS [10:15] prakash start with a question [10:15] !details | prakash [10:15] prakash: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [10:15] jpds, yea, i see... seems a shame to give that much away, but, if I want hibernation then its necessary [10:16] 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. conky [10:16] jpds: even a swap-file has a fixed size you need to specify before. so its not scalable [10:16] Smashcat: can you explain why? Because a swap file can get fragmented? [10:16] Every time I login it gives me System Error pop up [10:16] 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] hibernation is a good thing, right? [10:17] livingdaylight: Allows you to save state and take the battery out [10:17] supasnashbuhl: 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 performance [10:17] livingdaylight: with ssd's yes :) [10:17] TJ i just wanted to upgrade my system but it hangs at exactly this step [10:17] jpds: Every time I login it gives me System Error pop up [10:17] waited 5 minutes nothing does [10:17] Wuschii: are you on the system now? can you run a couple of commands for me? [10:18] yes i can its a server [10:18] Smashcat: alright.. makes sense. But i find it really hard to determine some "good" size for swap..

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:20] supasnashbuhl: Obviously with SSD's you shouldn't be running swap on them. [10:20] Smashcat: i think you're right.

[10:30] lloowen: 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 ' &' before you exec your wm. [10:30] monkeydust: What does LTS really means ?? is it more stable ?? [10:30] prakash: Long Term Support.

I have not had any luck with the .xinitrc file. Blackbox does not even run when the .xinitrc file is present. I currently have blackbox running from login via the .profile file. [10:34] !info === Guest86239 is now known as epzil0n [10:37] how do i change the color scheme to white on black (white letters) for urxvt [10:38] lloowen: I think you might have to do "ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession" [10:38] lloowen: 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. [10:39] lloowen: This page might help... it mentions Blackbox, and towards the end how to automate the session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomXSession [10:39] Howdy all [10:39] lloowen: TJ- is right, create one and ln them. [10:39] _o/ [10:41] guys, my httpd users 'apache' says it cant write to a specific directory, how can I add it without changing the directory owner? [10:42] alba-andy: usually you add the directory owner to the www-data group, and then set the directory's group to www-data [10:42] W4sp: 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-errors [10:42] alba-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. [10:43] alba-andy: obviously you'd also ensure the directory group owner has write permissions [10:43] alba-andy: s/owner/group/ [10:45] thanks guys, ill give it a try [10:45] Tj: thanks for the link. Looking into it. [10:46] W4sp: Thanks for your help [10:46] lloowen: the .xsession-errors were created by your blackbox. You need to create .xinitrc or .xsession yourself. I need to know if it is 102 MB aor 1024 MB? Speller? [10:46] I want to use Lubuntu but is it safe? [10:46] person: "safe"? [10:46] How do I know somone hasn't put some bad code in it [10:46] person: It's open-source? [10:46] it's a niche OS [10:46] W4sp: 102Mb [10:46] person: you have to trust [10:47] person: Go and read the source if you're so concerned. [10:47] alright [10:47] person it's open source, if someone tried, te others would notice immediately [10:47] person: open source [10:47] lol I lack the skills [10:47] MonkeyDust: nice theory [10:47] It is trusted by canonical, right? it's on their website [10:47] person: Well, if you don't trust Canonical, go ahead and use something else. However there's no reason to believe there is "bad code" in any of the officially supported Ubuntu releases. [10:47] person: well you could use windoze. Nobody EVER hacks that OS ... [10:47] W4sp: It has 128Mb ram but 26Mb is dedicated for the video [10:47] person: Lubuntu is not supported by Canonical. [10:48] jpds: Uh, yes it is. Kubuntu isn't. Or did they change something again? [10:48] what's the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu apart from the desktop environment? [10:48] lubuntu is an official canonical distro. Kubuntu is not [10:48] person lubuntu is maintained by the cummunity [10:48] person: Different app choices (e.g. Ubuntu has Firefox whereas Lubuntu has Chromium) [10:48] theadmin: Lubuntu never was supported by Canonical. [10:48] ubuntu is too heavy for my old system see [10:48] lloowen: I guess that's somewhere on the lower end then. ;-) If blackbox comes up ... That's all you need. [10:49] thunderbird is giving me trouble... it wont start it keeps saying "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding"... but it isn't... plus I have just rebooted... how can I get it going again? [10:49] nrdb: Look in your home directory under .mozilla for thunderbird-related things, there may be a lockfile [10:50] Hi, I have a Song CD. I have problem mounting it "sudo mount /dev/sr0 mycd". It outputs that the media fs is unknown or something like that and it doesn't mount. I am on Ubuntu Server 12.04. Please help. Thanks. [10:50] so there is no reason why lubuntu is different from ubuntu [10:50] chasmo: It's not. [10:50] Ormie: you don't mount audio-cds to play them [10:50] cfhowlett: ↑ [10:51] llutz_: ? [10:51] person it's lighter, the layout is different, other programmes installed by default [10:51] Ormie: you don't mount audio-cds to play them [10:51] yeah, ok. but... [10:51] W4sp: I'm amazed what you can run on so little. Blackbox + Mplayer = supprisingly good media player! [10:51] theadmin, under the .mozilla directory there is only a "extensions" and "firefox" directories... the ~/.thunderbird directory I haven't found a 'lock' file [10:51] lloowen: Please note that Ubuntu loads a lot of other gnome related stuff even if your desired X windows is 'just' blackbox. Most GNOME daemons are not really required unless you need them. ;-) Try to get an xdm only environment with just blackbox and see how far you get. [10:51] nrdb: Hm, okay. [10:51] llutz_: so what shall i do? [10:52] bye bye erry! :P [10:52] W4sp: Not if you're using a server or minimal install, just saying [10:52] I guess I am having trouble trusting open source, anyone could write harmful code and say it's a distro [10:52] lloowen: Once the X windows sytem is up you should be fine. Good luck [10:53] Hi, I have a Song CD. I have problem mounting it "sudo mount /dev/sr0 mycd". It outputs that the media fs is unknown or something like that and it doesn't mount. I am on Ubuntu Server 12.04. [10:53] Ormie: what do you want to do with the cd? start your player and listen (mplayer cdda://1 or somthg like that) [10:53] Ormie: *again* audio cd's don't mount. [10:53] ok [10:53] llutz_: hey you. tell me more . [10:54] Ormie: hey you, pay me :) [10:54] theadmin, found it... there was a .parentlock ... I didn't see it because 'ls' wasn't showing it. [10:54] >.< [10:54] jpds: "Lubuntu 11.10 is the first version of Lubuntu with official sanction as a member of the Ubuntu family." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [10:54] Ormie: ask a question and wait for an answer [10:54] I believe gnome-volume manager can generate a virtual filesystem for audio cds [10:54] * Ormie gives llutz_ a tux [10:54] theadmin, it is going now. [10:54] * Ormie then hugs erry. [10:54] I produced a MySQL dump of a database using mysqldump. The filename is 20120807. How to restore the MySQL database from this file, preferably using phpMyAdmin? refman-5.5-en.a4.pdf does not explain that in section "mysqldump". [10:54] person, you have any idea how many Windows programs in the world are actually infections? Users have no idea who wrote them, and ye they install them [10:55] yet [10:55] !yay | nrdb [10:55] nrdb: Glad you made it! :-) [10:55] theadmin: Yes, that's a thing really nagging me, for instance you don't get printer spooling authorized from CLI, your key rings don't open and such. It can be a pain in the back. [10:55] compdoc hmmm I guess you're right, I mean you can't even see the source for them programs, right? [10:55] theadmin: That means that it's community supported, not commerically supported by Canonical. [10:55] like no one can read the source code for photoshop [10:55] bye all [10:55] theadmin: Just as there are other members of the Ubuntu family. [10:55] what if photoshop has code that copys for internet cahce or something? [10:56] Ormie: you can use the cdcd package and tools to do it [10:56] person, if you use packages from the approved Ubuntu sources, they are tested === erry_ is now known as erry [10:56] person no paranoia here, please [10:56] sorry [10:56] jpds: I see... Well, I don't really understand it, and I don't seriously think support from Canonical matters all that much long as the community support exists. [10:56] theadmin: Tell that to an entreprise. ;) [10:56] I'm guessing Lubuntu can use ubuntu approved packages [10:57] person: yep. [10:57] 可一说中文不 [10:57] person: It does use Ubuntu approved packages. All the Lubuntu repositories are same as the Ubuntu ones. [10:57] jpds: Heh [10:57] luftikuss: click the database you wantt to import it into, and look for the import button. import as SQL.

[11:00] i want to change them [11:01] himanshu_m786: Most of them are spread across /usr/share/icons/ and /usr/share/pixmaps/ [11:01] anyone know how to change purple color of grub? please? [11:01] luftikuss: you may need to destroy the tables in the database before importing. [11:02] overclucker, Ok. [11:05] Hello, I need help. I recently launched WOW with WINE. WINE runs wow even better than this computer did when windows ran it. The only thing is all the icons are either scrambled or completely missing. I need help fixing this so I can actually use the items and play wow. Here is a screen shot so you can see for yourself. : http://screencloud.net/v/minu [11:05] luftikuss: You'd usually use mysqlimport to add mysqldump data to a database. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/copying-databases.html [11:06] luftikuss: there should be a check all option, then select drop from the 'with selected' box and confirm [11:06] TJ-, I see [11:06] TreaverHoerig: see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1922 [11:08] Is there a way I can tell Ubuntu to automount any FAT32 drive with iocharset=utf8,codepage=1251?

I will install 12.04 at once :D [11:20] 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 packages [11:20] i need somebody to type btcbuy314: test [11:20] Volpes: for you information I'm running 3.5 here and it's very smooth [11:20] btcbuy314: test [11:20] btcbuy314: Yes we see you [11:20] Thanks.

That's... very new and very dissapointing for me === administrator is now known as Guest47966 [11:37] zeroconf was also developed by Apple (was called Bonjour). they do occasionally do something beyond sell fancy hardware === dr--willis is now known as dr_willis [11:38] did they develop it.. or did they just swallow up a smaller company that developed it.. ;) [11:38] odigity: "fancy hardware"? More of "fancy software"... I can buy hardware twice better than Apple's for the same price you know. Anyway, we got offtopic. [11:39] dr willis - I am not google, but just this once I'll do your work for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS [11:39] what's the topic? [11:39] odigity: Ubuntu support questions here only, basically. [11:39] theadmin: username and password? [11:40] JasperCoenraats: Your system user's username/password === mathew is now known as matt1 [11:40] aha [11:40] well, that working all the way, accept in these kind of cases [11:40] I can login with it in my pc [11:40] but not in authentications like this [11:41] are you familliair with that? [11:41] theadmin - well, I came here 30m ago to ask a question, but ended up having to answer it myself :) [11:41] did anyone see my answer, btw? it's not documented in the usual places, and it's terribly useful [11:41] odigity: That happens, unfortunately. Though you feel the best when you figure it out yourself don't you? [11:41] perhaps a stupid question how does ubuntu behave with pci usb3 adapters? is this supported within Ubuntu Server12.04 [11:41] theadmin - when it turns out to be easy, yes [11:41] post the question and answer to askubuntu.com for future referance perhaps odigity [11:42] Super+ [11:42] TJ - yup, that's the one [11:42] paulus68: pci or pci express? the pci express i had worked fine [11:43] So what kernel should I install on Ubuntu 12.04: 3.4 or 3.5? As said previously standard kernel is not a choice... [11:43] What does "internal error" mean in "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error"? That appeared in my notification area. [11:43] dr_willis: well I'am just informing myself before I buy the required pci/pci express card [11:43] theadmin: did you see my message? I can login with a combination that never works for authentication in the kind of situations [11:44] JasperCoenraats: Hm, well, I'm not sure [11:44] odigity: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html === wmh is now known as hover [11:44] odigity: It's called the "meta" key in documentation === hover is now known as hovernbar [11:44] theadmin: i even reinstalled Ubuntu for it [11:45] didnot help [11:45] if you press and hold the super key. 12.04+ shows a shortcut page [11:45] I added a note to the answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/what-are-unitys-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts/64572#64572 [11:46] go on [11:46] TJ - nice (the URL you posted). they refer to it as the Meta key instead of the Super key, but they also describe adding Shift to open a new window in the same app, which is another frustration of mine (until now) [11:46] ciao [11:47] film? [11:47] Ok I can't find a fix. In WINE when playing wow nearly all the pictures are stretched or pixelated. How do I fix this? http://screencloud.net/v/minu [11:47] just tried it. it actually opened a new tab instead of new window (in gedit). still useful [11:47] meta key = alt key i thought [11:47] !piracy | alessandro [11:47] alessandro: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [11:47] nope, meta + number (1-0) [11:47] sorry, misread your statement [11:47] dr_willis: Normally, Meta is Alt indeed. The Windows key is Super. [11:48] If you hold down the meta key the left dock appears and after a second or two each launcher item has its meta number superimposed so you know which key to press [11:48] But some people seem to mix the definitions [11:48] now we need a 'duper' key.. so we can super-duper-delete [11:48] dr_willis: Hehe [11:48] not in the help.ubuntu.com article that TJ linked to. they clearly mention both Meta and Alt, implying that they are different, which means they are using Meta to refer to the Windows key [11:48] dr_willis: Shift+Delete is my super-duper-GUI-delete [11:48] Speaking of, does Ctrl-Alt-Delete do anything by default? [11:48] so Meta = Super = Windows. Alt is just Alt [11:48] Meta key: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/windows-key.html [11:48] theadmin - try it [11:49] !dontzap [11:49] but: windows is not super ;) [11:49] odigity: Well, I know that in Fedora that shortcut reboots. I have a driver install going on, don't want to interrupt that [11:49] Ok I can't find a fix. In WINE when playing wow nearly all the pictures are stretched or pixelated. How do I fix this? http://screencloud.net/v/minu --- Incase the other didn't send [11:49] on ubuntu 12.04, ctrl+alt+del prompts me if I want to log out [11:49] theadmin: at the console it does i belive [11:49] so, it's safe to try [11:49] TrevMyster: Open "Additional Drivers", look for your video card driver. [11:50] TrevMyster better ask in #wine, i guess [11:50] Anyone running Ubuntu from a USB stick? I've used the usb-creator-gtk but every time I boot it still asks if I want to install or try - rather than just going straight into "trying" and using it like a real disc :( [11:50] inflex: Well, you shouldn't have used usb-creator. Just boot Ubuntu from elsewhere and install it to the USB stick as you would to a hard drive. [11:50] Ok I can't find a fix. In WINE when playing wow nearly all the pictures are stretched or pixelated. How do I fix this? http://screencloud.net/v/minu [11:50] inflex: you can do a 'full' nirmal install to a usb if itsa big enough [11:51] oh... that simple eh... *doh* [11:51] TrevMyster: That effect can happen on native Windows too with WoW, if the wrong resolution is selected. Also, the corrupted icons is usually because the video card has run out of memory for all the textures. [11:51] too many years with UNIX and I get caught out by the 'dead easy' option [11:51] inflex, then you didnt install Ubuntu, you just transferred the installer [11:51] inflex: be sure grub installs to the mbr of the usb [11:51] tx folks. [11:51] TJ How do I fix it [11:51] does the ubuntu live cd have a "toram" option ? [11:52] TrevMyster: there isn't always a fix... make sure you've got the best Ubuntu drivers for the video controller first [11:52] en1gma: i think it does.. or at least used to [11:52] !bootoptions [11:52] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [11:52] what is the correct command? is it "toram=yes" or just "toram"?

" Open "Additional Drivers", look for your video card driver" [11:54] inflex: id reccomend a 16+gb flash. lubuntu can go on a 4gb.. barely [11:54] inflex: it's the obesity pandemic :p === msx is now known as Guest57840 === Guest57840 is now known as sl3v3n [11:54] found 32gb usb on sale for $20 last week [11:54] dr_willis: you guys are killing me...

[11:55] overclucker, When trying to import the file 20120807, pphpMyAdmin reports: "localhost: You probably tried to upload too large file. Please refer to documentation for ways to workaround this limit." The file size is 73 MiB. [11:55] inflex: cp/m all the way! [11:55] dr_willis: was going to get one of those new ultra-tiny USB sticks (the ones that aren't much bigger than those Bluetooth dongles) and put it on this laptop rather than replacing the HDD [11:55] dr_willis: do you trust it not to be a faked 4GB device with hacked firmware that misreports its size? [11:56] Hi, powertop on my EeePC shows several "Bad" parameters (like "VM writeback timeout" or "SATA link power managment for /dev/sda")...where to change these settings permanently in ubuntu? i remember that you can write some pm-utils scripts to change them, but is there an easier way? [11:56] luftikuss, so probably ... it was to large for php to handle. Is it an SQL file you're uploading? Why not do it via CLI? [11:56] TJ-: kingston brand from walmart.. they had 100's of them in a big tub. ;) [11:56] luftikuss: php often has a limit on the size of files it will accept, to prevent denials of service [11:57] dr_willis: Nice! I had to deal with some fake Kingstons recently... the packaging had a big clue because they'd mispelt a URL with "kington" [11:57] help me please i have tearing !! If i use compiz i dont have tearing but my pc is low-end [11:57] Is there any way to fix tearing without enabling compiz ?? [11:57] digitalcrow, not really. [11:57] digitalcrow usea lighter DE [11:58] enable the vsync option perhaps in ccsm or the drivers digitalcrow [11:58] use a* [11:58] i tried lubuntu and i have tearing [11:58] on ubuntu with full effects i dont have any tearing at all [11:58] s3r3n1t7, In the mean time I managed to perform this loading operation using a command-line command successfully. Yes ist is an SQL file, produced by mysqldump. [11:58] bbl [11:59] theadmin: do you know i can remove the component lexmark.wsu.lagacy? [11:59] Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log? [11:59] TJ-, I see. Thank you for informing. I need now to find out what the maximum php file size is [11:59] digitalcrow: I think that's because the Sync to Vsync is enabled. Not sure how you enable that without compiz but I bet there's a way, although it might depend on the video device and driver in use [12:00] luftikuss: That will be set by the server administrator, you'd probably have to ask them [12:00] any one? [12:01] why i have tearing without compiz and i dont have tearing with compiz ?? its strange cause compositor is more demanding . [12:01] TJ-, I am the sole owner and operator of both computers. So I am the "administrator" at the same time. My handicap is that I am new to the subject here. [12:02] JasperCoenraats: wassup? [12:02] JasperCoenraats: see if other lexmark packages are still installed. dpkg-query -l 'lexmark*' [12:03] i try [12:03] luftikuss: Yay! then you can edit the server's php.ini file and increase the limit. The values you need to set are "upload_max_filesize" "post_max_size" and "memory_limit" [12:04] I guess thats for the terminal, and it didnot work [12:04] luftikuss: Look at the section on post_max_size on the PHP docs: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest54788 [12:05] one question, i have 8gb of ram, what version of ubuntu i should install? 32 or 64 bits [12:06] JasperCoenraats: yes, we generally deal with terminal commands here [12:06] October82: 64-bit amd64 [12:06] thank you TJ- [12:06] what is the difference? [12:07] TJ he didnot find anything, he says [12:07] I mean if I'm going to notice difference [12:07] JasperCoenraats: Then I think you need to log what files the installer finds that makes it think its already installed, and remove them [12:09] JasperCoenraats: this forums post claims to have solved it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1822102 [12:09] October82: For one, it'll use all those 8GB of RAM, not just the first 3GB or so [12:09] October82: 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 RAM [12:10] October82: The kernel and some user processes will be faster because the 64-bit CPU instruction set has many more internal registers [12:10] there should be a factoid about the difference between 32 and 64 bit [12:11] October82: also heavy CPU intensive tasks like video and audio convertions will be quicker [12:11] MonkeyDust: you can make one [12:11] MonkeyDust: write one, and we'll use it. [12:11] ah? [12:11] oh that wonderfull, thank you very much TJ- and ActionParsnip [12:12] MonkeyDust: for example: !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage [12:12] * RaTTuS|BIG Gives e-bree to for example: !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage [12:13] downloading now [12:13] ActionParsnip, It seems I am still stuck with this low resolution :-( [12:14] ActionParsnip, I would love to know what needs to go in to a xorg.conf for my chipset [12:14] Paddy_NI: I can give you mine if you like, it may help [12:14] !xorgconf | Paddy_NI [12:14] Paddy_NI: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

[12:16] luftikuss: As you have control of the server, why not save the hassle and use the terminal and use mysqlimport ? [12:16] hello folks, I've an HP pavilion dv7 with beats audio... trying to get the subwoofer working I've added a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (options snd-hda-intel model=ref). Now I've no audio by speakers and even if I commented that line and rebooted I've no audio!!! how is it possible? why restoring deaulf conf file doesn't make my speakers working? [12:16] luftikuss, if you want to upload it via phpmyadmin, do note that it is not the general php file you should look into but the one used by the apache module, which (from memory) usually is set at something like 8mb [12:16] TJ-: file doesnot exist [12:17] TJ- I will consider that. I am not yet familiar with mysqlimport. [12:17] what should I do? I'm sure I'll not able to use the subwoofer but it's very strange that now (even with the default conf file) I've no speakers..!!! [12:17] I'm seriously thinking that Ubuntu has some problems with configuration... [12:17] s3r3n1t7, Yes, I have found the value 8 MB. [12:18] TJ-: so the terminal denies the extence of the files lexmark sees [12:18] s3r3n1t7, Thank you. [12:18] mbutubuntu: I seem to recall something is written to a config cache file in the user directory... but its a long time since I messed with sound so things may have changed [12:18] ActionParsnip, Sorry to torture but do I need a fully fleshed out xorg.conf or can I just put this in by itself? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134161/ [12:18] TJ-, so you think to a HOME-hosted conf file? [12:19] JasperCoenraats: not as such... I think the packages are broken and don't clean up after themselves properly [12:19] Paddy_NI: you'll need the full thing [12:19] Yes, I guess so [12:19] ActionParsnip, ah then I'm lost :-/ [12:19] mbutubuntu: Let's think. You've changed the ALSA config but pulseaudio is the sound server, so some interaction has occured [12:19] I am having some problems with performance on ubuntu.. for example.. I could be extracting a 4.5GB rar file.. while this is happening the rest of the operating system is SOOO slow.. its virtually unusable.. why is this? I assumed the linux kernel was good at multitasking ? [12:20] TJ-: I allready got that idea, but i really like to solve it properly === blabla123_ is now known as B35m4 [12:20] TJ-: or do I have to reinstall linux? [12:20] JasperCoenraats: Where did you get the packages from? Maybe I can download the same ones and check them out [12:20] TJ-, so what should I search for? a pulseaudio conf file in the $HOME ? [12:21] www.lexmark.com TJ- [12:21] mbutubuntu: Have you checked out this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting/ [12:22] I'm having a small problem with creating a VPN connection. I've installed the appropriate modules for network-manager, it shows up when I click on add, but there is nothing I can chance. I've also noticed that the unlock buttons are always grey and not clickable. I can use sudo. I cannot run network-manager from CLI, it does not do anything. [12:23] JasperCoenraats: I need to know the *exact* file(s) you downloaded [12:23] Does anyone know how to get Minecraft to work in Linux. When I start it up, I login and BLACKSCREEN. I really want to fix this. [12:23] Treaver, MC doesn't work with the default java packages. You'll need to install sun's java packages. [12:23] can you tell me how s3 [12:24] lexmark-inkjet-legacy-wJRE-1.0-1.amd64.deb.sh [12:24] TJ-, could be useful to remove all files from $HOME/.pulse/ ? [12:25] TJ-, I've to say you that also at starting (gdm) I've no audio, in gdm there is no user logged in so it is more and more strange, do you? [12:25] mbutubuntu: can you give the output of: [12:25] ActionParsnip, of? [12:25] mbutubuntu: starting (gdm) I've no audio, in gdm there is no user logg [12:25] mbutubuntu: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [12:26] mbutubuntu: stupid putty not pasting [12:26] ActionParsnip, should I be root?

[12:28] "!lista" [12:28] ActionParsnip, alsa-project.org has problems o.0 - I can't ping nor loading the webpage [12:29] is there any mirror for that script? [12:29] mbutubuntu: sure, I have it in my dropbox for when it goes screwy [12:29] ActionParsnip, could you send me your copy? [12:30] Hey!

(I mean the icons along the top right, battery indicator, sound, time etc) [12:31] UKWolfy, theyre stil working on that kind of thing [12:31] compdoc: ah okay, thanks, I would very much like them to be the android blue colour :) [12:32] compdoc: any idea when it will be available for change? [12:33] UKWolfy: it should obey the theme you select [12:33] UKWolfy, there are many tweaks not yet available, but that are just starting to be provided. Unity is too new yet [12:33] ActionParsnip, alsa-info maybe is searching for updates and it hangs up because it can connect to the alsa-project.org host... o.0 [12:34] I'm getting hungry!!!! [12:34] mbutubuntu: does the system have web access? [12:34] angry... ahahahah :-) [12:34] mbutubuntu: doesn't answer my question...... [12:34] ActionParsnip, yes, obviuos!! I'm also usins openDNS [12:35] ActionParsnip: Ah I see, you wouldn't know if there are any themes that look the same as ambiance but with blue icons? [12:35] I can resolve alsa-project... I can't connect it [12:35] mbutubuntu: not obvious at all [12:35] (obvious for me :) [12:35] ActionParsnip, I've reconfigured alsa-base and some other packages with aptitude [12:36] should I rebood or alsa force-reload is enough? [12:36] I've done it but it's still not working..!!! [12:36] Does lubuntu have the GNU complier [12:36] for C and C++ complier === ^abcdefg^ is now known as ^amily^ [12:37] Oh my god! I've only changed and reverted a conf file...! [12:37] because in it's applications list it oesn't have it [12:37] It's not a Unix behaviour! [12:38] monster: the build-essential metapacakge should install everything you need to compile things. [12:38] mbutubuntu: will you quit with the pointless exclamation marks, they achieve nothing at all [12:38] cheers [12:38] Hello, does the copy-on-write feature of Btrfs mean that a file copy is always instantaneous? [12:39] ActionParsnip, ok, this is because I'm angry. If you have any idea to solve this problem I'll be happy to follow your advices :-) [12:39] mbutubuntu: what, because of a sound issue? I think you need help [12:39] mbutubuntu: I'm geting the same issue so maybe the alsa servers are being maintained or having an issue [12:39] ActionParsnip, it's not the sound issue itself.... [12:40] can you boot the kernel from a lwm+raid1 volume? does grub support that? [12:40] It's because I modified a conf file... restored to the original state but Ubuntu hasn't restored the audio. [12:43] mbutubuntu: did you run: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot? [12:43] ActionParsnip, I asked you some minutes ago if was useful to remove .pulse :-) [12:43] I do it now [12:44] ok, learning about the new Windows key - shortcut overlay feature in Unity has got my mind racing [12:44] it would be sweet if app did the same thing with a standard keyboard shortcut - brought up on overlay of keyboard shortcuts for that app [12:45] ActionParsnip, I'm rebooting === livingdaylight is now known as buddylinux [12:45] and furthermore, it would be sweet to have a collection of standard-format cheat sheets that you could browse using native desktop keyboard shortcuts when programming, because there's so much shit you need to remember [12:49] obtxo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts [12:49] odigity: [12:49] (Sorry, wrong nick) [12:50] usr13, in Ubuntu 12.04 you can just hold the super key [12:50] I've seen that document. why are you linking to it? [12:51] odigity: I didn't know you hadn't seen it. You said "it would be sweet to have a collection of standard-format cheat sheets that you could browse" [12:52] hi [12:52] yes, I said that, but I don't see how that link relates to what I said. I'm talking about a collection of cheat sheets for developers, not the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts [12:52] I mean something like this: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/ [12:52] but available natively on your desktop via a keyboard shortcut, not as a web page [12:52] ActionParsnip, nothing to do! :-( [12:53] Anyone have a minute to help me compile libtorrent? [12:53] I get this error "configure: error: Package requirements (libcrypto) were not met:" [12:54] odigity: Maybe I thought you'd use the infomation to create the desktop image of your dreams. [12:55] I wouldn't know where to begin [12:55] just to be sure before i give up, there is no way to change the text and icons colour in the menu bar? (While keeping the rest the same as ambiance) [12:55] I need libqt4-dev so I went hunting in the software center for it. Never popped up with a few different searh terms I used, but sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev worked fine. I wonder how many other packages don't show up when I'm hunting. [12:55] craigbass1976: apt-cache search libqt4-dev [12:56] end_guy, I meant in the software center though. I'll go in wondering if there might be any such and such, now I think that everything's not showing up; before I just figured it wasn't there. [12:57] mbutubuntu: you need that script to run [12:57] ActionParsnip, headphones works [12:57] but speakers doesn't [12:58] craigbass1976: Software center isn't good for what you're trying to do. If you really want a GUI that can accomplish that sort of thing try installing synaptic and using that. [12:58] mbutubuntu: tried: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [12:58] ActionParsnip, give me please again the url of the script [12:58] craigbass1976: What do you need libqt4-dev for? [12:58] mtfk: its on that page too [12:58] mbutubuntu: step3 === dinojoker is now known as jokerdino [13:00] craigbass1976, +1 For Synaptic Package Manager; it used to be installed by default, on previous versions. [13:01] usr13, Dust Racer 2D. :) This is hilarious. I'm trying to think of the arcade game like this -- top down racer, used to have four steering wheels in the arcade [13:02] craigbass1976: nice :-) [13:03] craigbass1976: But you can just use apt-get sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev [13:04] ActionParsnip, problems with alsa-project host again [13:04] usr13, I know, and I did. I was just noticing that in the "hunting for a package" stage, it was not showing up in the Software Center. [13:04] oh ok === vagn_karlsson is now known as vagn_k === elliptical is now known as amily [13:09] is there a script that can generate a live cd iso of your currently running ubuntu hdd install? [13:09] Hi all. I'm looking for a reliable greaphics card for use in an office workstation. It should be capable of deul-monitors (dvi or vga - my monitors are vga). Any suggestions? [13:09] en1gma: remastersys [13:09] agentgasmask have you used it? [13:10] en1gma: I havn't had much luck with it, but that was a while ago (2 years) [13:10] is xubuntu actually lighter? [13:10] ubuntuuser213123, yes [13:10] the wikipedia pag used to say it's hard to tell the difference [13:10] xfce is lighter than gnome [13:10] ubuntuuser213123: it can be yes [13:11] i had tried one of those remaster scripts with bt5r2 about a couple months ago and it was pretty difficult but i got the job done but since then i have installed ubuntu and that script was a script and a guide [13:12] also does xubuntu have the same command tools as ubuntu? [13:12] yano cat, pipes, bash [13:12] ubuntuuser213123: Yes, exactly the same base. [13:12] was hoping for a one click solution to spit out a cust ISO (for a live cd) option [13:12] awesome, I feel a bit embarrassed using it after coming from gentoo [13:12] ubuntuuser213123: Different desktop environment. [13:13] it's just I was always concentraing on configuring gentoo it wasted my time [13:13] so I thought xubuntu should be the one for me [13:13] THis system has 6GB ram === aleixdorca_ is now known as aleixdorca [13:15] is there any way to migrate an ext4 fs to btrfs while mounted? === Sagrado is now known as Eish === Eish is now known as Sagrado === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === Sagrado is now known as Eish [13:16] lattera: no [13:16] i want ti have a dark themefor gnome3 in 12.04. when i install/copy themes in ~/.themes it only shows up as a window theme. i'm a bit confused about which type of theme i would have to download to just a working dark theme for gnome. how can i do that? [13:16] just have a* [13:16] Afternoon all - anyone here work for Canonical in London? [13:17] spirit3_: why do you ask? === Eish is now known as Sagrado [13:23] lattera, 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 wr [13:23] itten. [13:24] not sure how sun did it, but they did live migration for zfs [13:24] ufs->zfs [13:24] lattera, 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. [13:26] How does opennebula work to distribute the work across multiple nodes? Is it possible to have different threads of the same VM being executed in different physical machines? [13:27] i think not [13:27] how can I configure 3 finger tap in ubuntu to open terminal? [13:28] s3r3n1t7: zfs isn't an upgrade of ufs... it's a completely new fs [13:28] I can enable 3 finger tap to do a middle click in synaptics, but what about opening a terminal?

[14:06] Saiki, i think that something like `dpkg -i baboon.dev` [14:06] Saiki, check the `dpkg` command I guess [14:06] Lost_Cause: Just installed ubuntu 12.04 fresh. [14:07] nabil_: type 'man bsnes' for the manual. but yeah, I don't see snespurify either. apparently it comes bundled with bsnes, but I don't know how where it is. google should help [14:07] lousygarua: been a while since I tried, that's all [14:08] Saiki: You should use the package manager. [14:08] Saiki: sudo apt-get install [14:08] Hey #ubuntu, is there a command that I can use to change the volume of the program currently in focus? [14:09] check at your bios for which graphics card you have turned on. there are a few options to choose from depending on some options that you can get for the t420. Mine had a nvidia graphics card. I turned that on and used the nvidia drivers from their website. i fixed most of my issues [14:09] Koppis: Volume control us normally done globally. [14:09] Lost_Cause: Cool, I may have to try that. Are you using multiple monitors with it by any chance? [14:09] usr13: I need an older version not supplied in apt-get [14:10] Lost_Cause: I suspect this is using the built in intel chip at the moment as I have not done anything to it yet.

[14:13] usr13: it's for server controll. called iweb [14:13] Lost_Cause: Yeah I just went into the bios. It says it is using the Nvidia card. Is that what you said you were doing? Just using the binary drivers they provide on their website? [14:14] geekbri: ya that is what i do.

[14:23] to=you [14:23] OH perfect! [14:23] hello, is anyone using "awesome" windows manager? i need help with it [14:24] ssnf: what is windows manager ? [14:24] I have a problem with Rhythmbox, I uninstalled it because at the time I was using Banshee and now when I tried to reinstall it this is the error that has come up: Requires installation of untrusted packages The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. And it wont install when I click ok. Could I use the terminal? [14:24] ssnf: oh, awesome WM [14:24] ssnf: i am using awesomewm [14:24] Saiki: dpkg -i reconfigure tomcat6 [14:24] Lost_Cause: Yikes, seems like following these directions http://www.techlw.com/2012/03/install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-1204.html made my Thinkpad T420s show just a big white bar on the right side of my screen and everything else is black [14:24] ThinkT510: alsamixer shows everything turned on, and looks exactly the same for my normal user as it does for root [14:24] RedViper: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [14:25] keeb: no MM's? [14:25] compdoc: root belongs to "audio" while my user does not, but i've read that this doesn't help things [14:25] ThinkT510: correct [14:25] :l [14:25] compdoc: besides, i've added my user to the audio group and it didn't help [14:25] ActionParsnip: Give me a moment.. [14:25] geekbri: and nVidia's FTP site has Thumbs.db files laying around ;) [14:25] keeb, never know until you try. but once you add a group, you have to log out to take effect [14:25] smartboyhw: you don't know? [14:26] No. [14:26] !support | marlym [14:26] marlym: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [14:26] thanks [14:26] geekbri: 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 issues [14:27] Lost_Cause: yeah it works now, but apparently running nvidia-xconfig as root totally nuked my xorg config :-P [14:27] Lost_Cause: things I haven't missed, mucking around in an xorg conf [14:27] usr13: see pm lazy to use pastebin atm) [14:28] keeb: Did you investigate deleting the pulseaudio config files in the ~/.pulse/*default-{sink,source} [14:28] geekbri: just use x server to create a new x org file [14:28] ActionParsnip: There - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134351/ [14:28] is ubuntu great [14:28] RedViper: thanks [14:28] keeb: also, have you tested it by creating a new user account and trying from that? [14:28] is there anyway to termporarily disable the touchpad on my notebook? [14:28] geekbri: saving in that program allows you to overwrite prevous configs for it [14:28] i think it is too great [14:28] hi i am facing this error while updating software [14:28] E: Internal Error, No file name for libkrb5-3 [14:28] E: libkrb5-3: libkrb5-3:amd64 1.10+dfsg~beta1-2ubuntu0.2 cannot be configured because libkrb5-3 [14:28] E: libgssapi-krb5-2: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [14:28] RedViper: so no mention of missing GPG keys? [14:29] why server use RED HAT [14:29] ActionParsnip: So what now [14:29] why not ubuntu server edition [14:29] please help [14:29] savio: can you rephrase the question please? [14:29] savio: could use either, both are good [14:29] RedViper: so no mention of missing GPG keys? [14:30] business use RED HAT [14:30] why not ubuntu [14:30] savio: they like the support structure [14:30] ActionParsnip: what? i don't get you [14:31] how to repair broken software index? [14:31] savio: 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 2 [14:31] cha1tanya: there's a newer version of libkrb5-3 in the precise-updates/precise-security archives. Try doing "sudo apt-get update" first [14:32] Lost_Cause: Ubuntu server edition is also good [14:32] TJ-: didn't try that at all, will do that now [14:32] TJ-, i did that [14:32] usr13: description The requested resource (/iweb/role) is not available. [14:32] Apache Tomcat/5.5 [14:32] ActionParsnip: Ok well it looks like it is installing now after I did the update...? [14:32] keeb: often, a clean user account will resolve many issues like this... then again! [14:32] ActionParsnip: It's done [14:32] Lost_Cause: we should there stratergie of using older "mature" package [14:33] cha1tanya: OK ... did you try "sudo apt-get -f install" ? [14:33] hi [14:33] usr13: on tomcat6 it doesn't even appear [14:33] hejka :) [14:33] TJ-: how do i remove a user from a group? [14:33] Saiki: sudo apt-get install tomcat6 [14:33] it appears me last usermod to remove myself from audio was not successful [14:34] Hello, I want to use the 'dd' command to zero out the first 80 MB of my hard disk [14:34] savio: redhat is really only ment to use for large business [14:34] keeb: "deluser " [14:34] Can someone help me put the command together? [14:34] Saiki: How did you install iweb? [14:34] keeb: You have to logout for group changes to be effective [14:34] TJ-, http://pastie.org/4406126 [14:34] usr13: copy/paste [14:34] TJ-: yep, no problem there [14:34] Lost_Cause: using older package must be bad idea [14:35] Lost_Cause: old package conatin bug === ubuntu_ is now known as Aitor [14:35] Lost_Cause: may be [14:35] ActionParsnip: Thnaks for the help! :D [14:35] :-(|) [14:35] TJ-: says "you may not remove a user from their primary group" [14:36] savio: 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] keeb: It's correct! [14:36] TJ-: but the audio group was usermod'd in [14:37] 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] so when i try to deluser audio keeb [14:37] cha1tanya: You could try "sudo apt-get install libkrb5-3:amd64" [14:37] how do i make audio my non-primary group? [14:37] Lost_Cause: ok [14:37] usr13: http://pastebin.com/cjeF0CD3 keeb: it's "deluser " [14:38] TJ-: yeah, same thing [14:38] keeb hang on I'm telling you wrong! [14:38] usr13: http://pastebin.com/amYFsS2P =] [14:38] keeb: too many hours without sleep! [14:38] savio: red is mainly design to work on ibm servers and usually have a 10 year lifecycle. ubuntu does work on ibm with some tweeking but they don't provide support for nearly that long. [14:38] TJ-, it is not installing [14:39] same error === ubuntu_ is now known as Aitor [14:39] Lost_Cause: I think it is main reason [14:39] keeb: Correction! No, I was correct. I just misread the man-page just now! deluser removes from [14:39] cha1tanya: let me research that [14:40] TJ-: how do you change the primary group a user is in [14:40] cha1tanya: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [14:42] keeb: usermod -g [14:42] usr13: any ideas? [14:43] Lost_Cause: what about Mac OSX [14:44] Lost_Cause: i heard that MAc OSX grant POSIX specifcation [14:44] TJ-, #aptitude safe-upgrade --full-resolver worked [14:44] thanks btw [14:44] cha1tanya: Great! :) [14:45] savio: Windows NT was POSIX1-compliant. BeOS was POSIX-compliant. POSIX compliance tells you nothing, really. [14:46] TJ-: after removing myself from the audio group, now alsamixer / aplay do not work [14:46] exit [14:46] maybe there's like a pulseaudio group or something? [14:46] q [14:46] raul_: /q [14:46] lol [14:46] :D [14:47] keeb: create a new user account and see what the default groups are for that [14:47] TJ-: just useradd -m ? [14:47] Hello my computer froze and I powered it off manually now the Menu bar and the sidebar is gone? [14:47] keeb: your account also needs to have sudo rights so should be in the adm and/or admin groups too [14:47] yep, all of those are there [14:47] Treaver: log out and back in and see if they reappear [14:47] keeb : adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin keeb sambashare [14:47] mneptok I can't logout there is no top bar [14:48] keeb: no, use adduser [14:48] Treaver: alt-prntscrn-k [14:48] savio: POSIX doesn't matter too much. most linux distros aren't 100% compliant [14:48] kk [14:48] keeb: The only extra one I have here from that list, is libvirtd [14:49] Lost_Cause: its gotta be pretty tuff [14:49] TJ-: using adduser, the user only has 1 group membership: his own [14:49] (so user test is in group test) - speaker-test doesn't work [14:49] alsamixer also doesn't work [14:50] Saiki: If I could stay off the phone.... been looking but found nothing. iweb is not really supplied or supported by ubuntu so that is the first problem... I think that with the abundance of CMS sites, wisiwig editors have not been a big concern as of late. I use joomla a lot, others use drupal, etc.... [14:50] i've removed and reinstalled alsa-base as well as pulseaudio [14:50] ActionParsnip: ya i am done. [14:50] this is an old install, it would probably work if i reinstalled [14:50] Lost_Cause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX#Fully_POSIX-compliant [14:50] i did a 3 hour upgrade last night to 12.04 [14:50] does ubuntu 12.04 amd64 have native support for linksys wusb600n v2 usb wifi adapter? [14:51] i see dmesg finds it when i plug it in but it dont show with sudo ifconfig [14:51] 12.04 32 bit is only seeing 2.7 gb out of 3 gb RAM, any idea what's happening there? I have a discrete [14:51] keeb: Can you use the GUI to create a new user... maybe it does something extra. adduser is the Debian higher-level version of useradd [14:51] graphics card [14:51] is themes forr ubuntu compatible with lubuntu? [14:52] Saiki: That's just the trend, and it may be a good thing. I think CMSs have their shortcomings and limitations, but they are improving as we speak. [14:52] Pip__: if you use onboard video, it will use some of your system ram [14:52] with 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] discrete card in there, that's what's freaking me out [14:52] I'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] The error is along the lines of 'unable to mount /dev/loop1 on /cow: invalid argument' [14:53] nvidia 8400gs [14:53] 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 mapped [14:53] Anything else I can do do check the usb stick, or otherwise figure out what might be wrong? [14:53] Pip__: ahh, so you have a switchable video chip? [14:53] Saiki: 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] chreekat: are you trying to mount an ISO? [14:53] ActionParsnip; no i don't think so [14:53] tis a fairly old amd cpu [14:54] Pip__: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga what is output? [14:54] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to boot from a live usb stick [14:54] How can I change a folder with permissions drwxrwsrwx to: drwxrwxrwx ? [14:54] chreekat: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [14:54] ActionParsnip: Yes [14:54] TJ; that would make sense if i understood what it means, but it does help a little [14:54] ActionParsnip: tbh I think it's my usb stick, but not having another one handy, I'd like to find a way to make sure [14:55] chreekat: Did you verify it? [14:55] geekbri: is saving to to config in x server when you are on the xdisplay screen not working? [14:55] Pip__: something else needs the memory addresses so RAM is not mapped into them, so you lose some of the 3GB of physical capacity [14:55] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a2) [14:55] usr13: verify the iso, as in check the md5 sum? Yes. [14:55] ok [14:55] Lost_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] TJ; yeah okay... [14:56] chreekat: And it's just not booting? [14:56] geekbri: do you have an ATI or an nvidia card? [14:56] keeb: nvidia === Guest10273 is now known as irenicus09 [14:56] chreekat: If so, it may be just that you need to change some CMOS settings on your PC [14:56] geekbri: sudo nvidia-settings -> save to X [14:56] !xorgconf | geekbri [14:56] geekbri: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [14:56] usr13: I get to the menu with options such as 'try ubuntu', 'install ubuntu', 'check disc' === irenicus09 is now known as Guest83840 [14:57] chreekat: Oh, so it is booting? [14:57] Hello! Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of upgrading mysql 5.5.24 to 5.5.27 on Ubuntu 12.4? [14:57] how do i open an executable file in ubuntu ? [14:57] usr13: Not necessarily, that's just the GRUB menu. [14:57] chreekat: ... but will not load up? [14:57] David23400: you just need openbox and lxde themes [14:57] usr13: When I select 'try' or 'install', it chugs for a bit, but then I get dropped to the ... busybox(?) shell, and the casper.log has a message about failure to mount a loop device [14:57] caixa: chmod +x file.exec ; ./file.exec [14:57] caixa: just run it ! [14:57] usr13: Specifically /dev/loop1 on /cow [14:57] AdvoWork: you can use: sudo chmod -t folder etc. [14:58] caixa: from gui, you need to make sure it has execute permissions [14:58] spirit3_, i did double click it, it doesnt do anything [14:58] chreekat: Sounds like bad media or bad iso. [14:58] usr13: a different version works on 10.04 [14:58] geekbri: in the x server program you can saving your current settings to an xorg file [14:58] usr13: Agreed. Unfortunately the 'check disc' option of the boot menu shows no errors [14:58] caixa: right click, permissions, execute ... I think [14:58] spirit3_, permissions says read & write [14:58] usr13: I was just wondering if there's other things I could check [14:58] caixa: need execute [14:58] chreekat: Do you have the md5sum? Can you show us? [14:58] spirit3_, execute is checked [14:58] geekbri: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U1OXPcwutvs/TuWxYESgVtI/AAAAAAAACnU/7PNoWKm6dPo/s1600/TwinView.png [14:58] caixa, try to run in terminal and see error message [14:59] geekbri: you should be able to just click on save and be done [14:59] usr13: d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso [14:59] i think i need 32 bit libs [14:59] does ubuntu ship with those on x64 [14:59] caixa: are you sure it's an executable? If you right click and properties - should say what 'type' it is [14:59] spirit3_, yes, it says executable [15:00] chreekat: that's a known bug, with a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/492301 [15:00] Launchpad bug 492301 in usb-creator (Ubuntu) "Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" [Medium,Fix released] [15:00] caixa: from command name try 'file ' [15:00] does ubuntu x64 comes with native x32 support? [15:00] caixa: Nope. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [15:00] TJ-: rad, i'll check it out [15:00] chreekat: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick/#Known_Issues [15:01] chreekat: You might try re-burning the USB stick. You might do memtest, (could be hardware issue).... [15:01] TJ-: Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping to find by asking questions here. [15:01] theadmin, thanks i think that might be the problem then as the application only supports x32 === morphis|away is now known as morphis [15:01] chreekat: it's an issue with the size of the persistent storage that usbcreator uses... it gets it slightly wrong in some cases, apparently [15:01] thanks guys ttfn :) [15:01] how do i install another language? [15:03] marlym they're called language packages, in the repos [15:03] chreekat: aaahh yes, "re-tried the process by creating a LiveUSB... The usb stick now boots up fine." [15:03] monkeydust: is there any package only for one language [15:03] can someone tell me how to edit my host file so that a site at location localhost/school/school/magento is mapped to local.school.com [15:04] !hostname | prcIII [15:04] prcIII: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [15:04] prcIII: host file maps names to IP addresses [15:04] usr13: works fine on 10.04.3 LTS [15:04] usr13: TJ-: Thanks folks, looks like I'm on my way now [15:04] marlym: sudo apt-get install language-pack-de-lc (where "de" is your desktop environment ("kde" or "gnome". If none of those, just omit it), and "lc" is your language code.) So, the Russian pack for KDE is language-pack-kde-ru [15:04] marlym look for the language name in the software center or in synaptic [15:04] prcIII: Sure, just add a line: 192.168.x.x [15:04] Can anyone point me in the right direction of upgrading mysql 5.5.24 to 5.5.27 on Ubuntu 12.4? [15:05] marlym: For, say, XFCE it'd be simply language-pack-ru [15:05] how do i choose a local ip for it [15:05] prcIII: [15:05] Montyc: 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is the latest in the Ubuntu archive [15:06] Hello I'm trying to rebuild the network manager package, it gets threw ./configure but when I try to make it errors out: http://pastebin.com/L7QTAgZs [15:06] thanks guys [15:06] prcIII: You'll need to set the target PC to static IP. (Otherwise make changes to router's config.) [15:07] prcIII: To choose an IP, find one outside the dhcp-pool that is not yet being used. [15:07] Please go to tmr's Ubuntu QA Meeting at 1400UTC in #ubuntu-testing. [15:07] Malthus: Where did the source-code come from? [15:07] Does that mean that I can't upgrade it?

[15:20] anyone have problems compiling against libev? [15:21] tj-: reran ./configure, make clean, then make, it builds for a much longer time but still the same error [15:22] hi .. i just re-installed ubuntu and when i tried to update it i got this ...

[15:22] Munz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134432/ [15:23] ActionParsnip, a game called zombiegrinder, i extracted it to my desktop and installed the 32bit libs, but it doesnt run, so i tried from terminal and it gave me that error [15:24] Malthus: is it the networkmanager from precise? give me the version string [15:25] tj-: um the folder it make when I extracted is called network-manager-0.9.4.0 I'm hoping thats what you need? [15:26] I would like to know how to safely remove Ubuntu and give back the HD space it occupys to Windows. [15:26] Malthus: I'll build it here [15:27] Malthus: as I said before, I think it is because you are not using the Debian build system [15:27] Can you tell me how to do that compiz thing again [15:27] Treaver gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace [15:27] Thanks [15:29] tj-: googled: http://www.davromaniak.eu/index.php?post/2011/03/03/The-ultimate-package-building-system, Is this what I need to do to my system to get rid of build hiccups? [15:29] Malthus: I've just issued this build command: "debian/rules build 2>&1 | tee ../build.log" [15:31] Malthus: That article is doing a lot of silly things ... all you need to build in an isolated setting is to create a pbuilder [15:31] All websites can open on my pc except a few one like www.facebook.com www.way2sms.com, www.tatasky.com etc. Please help. [15:31] caixa: you may need to compile the file [15:32] Malthus: I wrote an article on it a long time ago with some supporting scripts: https://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/Packages/CreatingPbuilderVariations [15:32] ActionParsnip, compile an executable? [15:32] ActionParsnip, seems a bit silly to have to compile a game [15:32] ActionParsnip : i got this now :W: GPG error: http://ae.archive.ubuntu.com precise-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [15:32] W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_restricted_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [15:32] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [15:33] caixa: Why? Someone has to do it [15:33] Malthus: The build was successful here [15:33] Blazemore, why? because im use to windows double clicking things and simplicity, who the hell wants to read a bunch of documentation and compile a game? [15:34] caixa: Ubuntu is not MS Windows.... [15:34] caixa: If you prefer Windows, use Windows, obviously [15:35] I added another video card to my u12.04 system - How can I tell if the system found the other card [15:35] lspci | grep vga [15:35] er... maybe not grep vga [15:35] grep VGA (upper case) [15:35] tj-: roger, I'll try following your guide and see if I get lucky [15:35] take a look at lspci, or if you have the Catalyst Control Center installed, use that [15:35] Oh [15:35] caixa: Try installing a 32bit application on a MS Windows 64bit sysstem, see how you do with it..... [15:36] -i vga work also [15:36] I have grep aliased to "grep -i" which suits my workflow, and I forget sometimes [15:36] Blazemore, so the game comes with an executable file, yet it requires compiling? [15:36] caixa: If it comes with an executable, it doesn't need compiling [15:36] 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 dependencies [15:36] Blazemore, ok then... thats my point [15:36] ah yes I see two - one NVIDA and the other ATI [15:36] Blazemore, ppl are either giving false info in this channel, or this is over complicated [15:36] caixa: You *could* compile the game if you wanted to, but you don't *have* to [15:36] Malthus: All you need to do to build any Ubuntu/Debian package is : "debian/rules build" then "fakeroot debian/rules binary" [15:37] caixa: Do you use VLC on Windows? [15:37] Malthus: The 'binary' operation will leave the .deb files in the parent directory of the package-directory [15:37] 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] caixa correct, we *love* to give false information and do it on purpose, but only because it is you [15:37] caixa: Because you *could* compile that if you wanted to [15:38] caixa: Nobody will knowingly give false information, and everyone here is a community member just like you. [15:39] tj-: make: *** [binary] Error 29 ? [15:39] Malthus: Did you do a "make clean" first? [15:39] MonkeyDust, youre an idiot [15:40] caixa: 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] usr13, well option 1 doesnt seem likely here ;) so i guess its option 2 [15:40] caixa: but calling someone an idiot is not an option [15:40] being told to compile executables lol [15:40] caixa: Your choice .... [15:40] 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" [15:41] tj-: will try that in a second - its doing alot of "stuff" [15:43] tj-: it built but I'm sure I saw about 6-7 warnings during that process - probably better to start over right? [15:43] Malthus: well warnings are usually OK ... though it is good practice to capture the build log and review it just in case [15:44] tj-: like you did in that script where you tee'd the log, I think I'm starting to follow the plot [15:45] test [15:45] Is it possible within dhcpd.conf to specify certain leases based on the source IP of the request, and in a different range to the interface DHCP listens on? e.g. A DHCP request comes from "192.168.42.2" so please hand out a lease in the range "10.2.0.x".

I'm installing a mainline kernel as recomended by a bugreport. I see "Possible missing firmware", and "errors were encountered while processing: linux-headers-3.6.0-999-generic" [16:03] systemd0wn: do you have a log of the installation run? [16:03] systemd0wn: have you tried sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [16:04] tj-: built fresh like you said to and it was much much cleaner this time; last question if I could, if I need to recompile the package against a library how do I wedge that in? [16:05] TJ-, where would those logs be? [16:05] Blazemore, no i haven't. === Dead`n`Gone is now known as Sagrado [16:06] Malthus: Against a library that isn't already a dependency of the package (which is defined in debian/control on the source "build-depends:" line [16:07] Malthus: systemd0wn I meant had you captured the messages from running dpkg -i ?

[16:16] arabi: Stop doing what you are doing, and install it from the package manager [16:16] TJ-, It crashed while i was trying to get everything pasted into pastebin. [16:16] Installing from Oracle's download is unnecessary [16:17] but i already done that [16:17] What did you install? [16:17] TJ-, Blazemore, I did try to 'apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" and I see a unmet dependency "linux-headers-3.6.0-999-generic : Depends: linux-headers-3.6.0-999 but not installable" [16:17] You are looking for a java compiler, right? the "javac" command?

[16:19] (jdk-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz ) after downloading this used this command (tar zxvf jdk-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz^C [16:19] ) [16:19] arabi: Listen to me and do as I advise you to do [16:19] tar zxvf jdk-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz << this command i used [16:20] Blaze now i have a directory as i have in wndows [16:20] arabi: Open a terminal and type the following (without the quotes): "sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk" [16:20] can i add it to the terminal to run the javac from there [16:20] Is there an op here? I don't think arabi can see my messages [16:21] Blazemore: theres nothing stopping him from seeing your messages, it just looks like hes selectively ignoring your suggestions. [16:21] Blazemore: the only reason he wouldn't see them is if he had you on ignore [16:21] Pici: I know, I was being sarcastic [16:21] arabi: please take a look at Blazemore's suggestions.

[16:23] yes [16:23] it is downloading now ... [16:24] is it same as oracle jdk ??? @ blaze [16:24] Great. when it's done you will be able to use the "java", "javac" etc commands as you would expect them to work [16:24] arabi: No it is openjdk which is an implementation of the same standard [16:25] It's the "official" Java reference implementation [16:25] no need of extra configuration ,right??? can i run javac from terminal without ding anything more? [16:25] arabi: Yes that's right [16:26] arabi: Always check the package manager (Software Centre on Ubuntu) first, there's usually no need to go to a developer's website unless you need a version which isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories [16:26] I gtg [16:26] blaze i wanted to know how to install C++ compiler also,can you help??

[17:00] Freeaqingme: there is a guy ranting about ubuntu and he works out how to hack dpkg to ignore it [17:00] Freeaqingme: he he uses wine though [17:01] ActionParsnip, so currently there's no obscure dpkg option available that does just that? [17:01] Freeaqingme: not that I know of [17:01] BluesKaj:10x i will try it :) [17:03] ActionParsnip, too bad. tnx ;) [17:03] Freeaqingme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqQMqQxf-Ik [17:03] BluesKaj:but this is only for linux clients i need for windows clients [17:04] ActionParsnip, you're right, it's a rant. a useless one I take it.. :P [17:04] Freeaqingme: but it shows how to tweak the packages ;) [17:05] ActionParsnip, guess that's the only reason to watch it then [17:05] BluesKaj:i mean i have linux for server git and windows clients for merge code [17:05] will tell you if I found something in 8 mins :) [17:06] Freeaqingme: when he starts prattling on about wine, start listening [17:06] Freeaqingme: there's a way if you edit the package itself to change its listed dependencies === kai_ is now known as OMGUBUNTU [17:06] ActionParsnip, I'll survive the 8 minutes, it's a good laugh [17:06] Hey you all [17:06] Freeaqingme: sede the last comment to this: http://serverfault.com/questions/250224/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-ignore-some-dependencies [17:06] coolman_bg, sorry i don't know how to help you with that [17:07] TJ-, it were .deb packages installed with dpkg, cant get apt-get to ignore them now [17:08] Freeaqingme: if you edit the package and reinstall it using dpkg it will work [17:08] Freeaqingme: yeah, I posted replies to most things he says to work around or cure the issue [17:08] TJ-, yeah, but I hate doing that. was hoping there was a better way [17:08] Freeaqingme: it's the BEST way. If the package doesn't need the dependencies, it shouldn't say it does! [17:08] difference between compiler and interpreter ???? [17:09] arabi: compiler converts source code to object code and then binary executable. interpreter reads source code line by line and executes it as it goes [17:09] Hello [17:11] Hi guys, i have installed the wallpaper from this link http://namakutux.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-install-mac-os-x-lion-theme-on.html [17:11] but i dont know how to setup it on my lubuntu.

How should I gracefully set GDM to run after startup in latest BT 5? It is installed using Synaptic and even enabled using rcconf (confirmed presence of apropriate symlinks in rc.d). Still it is not starting up automagically but requires manual sudo service gdm start.

Please help! :) [17:26] s/car/card/ [17:28] ActionParsnip, Thank you very much [17:29] David23400: I extracted the deb file to look at it's guts :) [17:29] ok thx [17:29] davidrsmorris: sudo blkid |grep sda2 [17:29] Getting weird permission denied messages when I'm trying to run certain scripts if they have errors in them. IF I just run the script, it returns "bash: $scriptname: Permission denied", but if I call it with bash it shows me the actual error [17:30] It seems like some sort of environment problem or something, but I'm not sure where to look to fix it. [17:30] can anyone here help me figure out why my bluetooth stopped working? [17:30] This happens when running things as root or as a normal user === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [17:31] qhartman: are the scripts marked as executable? [17:31] ActionParsnip, yup [17:32] ActionParsnip, If I comment out the portions of the scripts that are breaking, they run fine === P4_ is now known as P4z [17:32] qhartman: might want to ask in #bash too [17:33] ActionParsnip, good idea, thx [17:33] where are programs/games installed to? path? [17:33] qhartman: does the script rely on some environment variables being set, that aren't now? best way to find out is add "set -x" as the 2nd or 3rd line of the file so it shows every command [17:34] I've got a program that's causing a kernel explosion(don't know the proper term, it breaks, networking goes down, spews a bunch of stuff to screen and then just stops). Are the logs of that dump kept anywhere I can find? [17:34] I made that line myself to mount my windows partition, and it worked a few times until I booted into windows. [17:34] caixa: /usr/bin usually, or /sbin or maybe /opt [17:34] Tobarja1: Check in /var/logs/ ... probably the kern.log file [17:34] caixa: Can you be more specific as to what you are looking for? [17:35] caixa: For system packages one of /bin/ /sbin/ /usr/bin/ /usr/sbin/ ... if locally built then /usr/local/bin/ or /usr/local/sbin/ [17:35] usr13, i'm looking for where a game installed to [17:36] TJ-, 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] caixa: I get that. What in particular though. [17:36] caixa: you can do "which " to find the path to many executables [17:36] TJ-, the latest problem is trying to build redis from source, where it's giving me the "permission denied" when trying to run make. [17:37] qhartman: I recall having stumbled on the same thing several years ago; turned out to be an env variable with the wrong value [17:37] caixa: What is the name of the game? [17:37] hi [17:37] qhartman: is that the package 'redis' or a source tarball? [17:37] caixa: And is it native to Ubuntu or does it run under wine? [17:38] caixa: or....? [17:38] TJ-, I need a particular version so I'm building it from the tarball from redis.io [17:39] caixa: If you can tell us what game you installed, and how you installed it, we may be able to help. [17:39] qhartman: I've just cloned the redis git repository; I'll try that [17:39] TJ-, 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 break [17:39] qhartman: can you pastebin the output of "env" AFTER you've randomised any sensitive values in their? [17:40] TJ-, correction to the above, the permission denied message gets triggered when trying to run ./configure for jemalloc dep in redis [17:40] sure [17:40] im trying to set up a tunnel between ubuntu and damnsmalllinux within oracle virtual but im getting kinda stuck [17:41] qhartman: have you looked at the config.log that it created? [17:41] hello folks [17:42] can someone tell me how to add an item to the dash menu on 12.04 (gnome)? [17:42] qhartman: A good step in these situations is to create another user account and use that since it shouldn't be tainted by any of your shell or environment customisations [17:43] I added a file in .local/share/applications but the icon is not displaying. [17:43] rodj: gnome 2 or 3? [17:43] Lost_Cause 3 [17:43] TJ-, Yeah, that's how I discovered it was the same permission denied thing, it was in the config.log [17:43] TJ-, good idea, I'll give that a shot. [17:43] Lost_Cause: gnome2 is dead, long live gnome [17:44] qhartman: configure often tries to run with a minimal set of ENV vars [17:44] xangua: gnome 2 is still nice to use as a change of pace [17:44] rodj: what type of program or file or w/e are you trying to add to the dash [17:45] 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 set [17:45] sublime2 [17:45] TJ-, 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 happy [17:45] qhartman: like USB flash devices [17:46] qhartman: check the mount options I reckon [17:46] TJ-, that's an interesting idea [17:46] TJ-,ha! looks like that's it. awesome [17:46] qhartman: nice one [17:46] TJ-, goos thinking, thanks for talking through with me [17:47] TJ-, I doubt I would have thought of that any time soon [17:47] qhartman: you're welcome... glad it didn't end being a headache [17:47] TJ- Now to see if it actually fixes it after unsetting that. I bet it does.... [17:47] Hey folks, big problem, here. Some troll friend changed my gnome3 language to some asian (chinese? Japanese? Korean? Doesn't matter). How do I change it back from the command line? I can't navigate through the menus. [17:47] qhartman: I find the best way to discover this kind of bug fast is to use strace -o output.log -fe trace=file [17:48] Is there a guide somewhere to install Ubuntu "by hand" from the alternate iso? Ie, from the command line. [17:48] TJ-,yeah, I don't use strace nearly enough [17:48] qhartman: then look in the strace log for denied errors [17:48] rodj: i love that text editor [17:48] jodj: http://davidetaviani.com/2012/03/07/creating-launchers-for-gnome-3-shell/ [17:48] echobravo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1911771 [17:49] TJ-, Every time I have thought to use it when against weird stuff it has supplied the asnwer [17:49] rodj: that should help [17:49] qhartman: same here... that or gdb anyhow [17:49] Lost_Cause: I just started using it. so far I like it a lot. [17:49] TJ-, alright, BBIAB [17:50] Thanks, @usr13, but it's not the keyboard layout that change. It was the system language (menus and such). =/ [17:50] rodj: it is the only one i use now except for nano when i don't have a gui [17:50] DebolazW: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/ - a bit technical though [17:50] Lost_Cause: no ui for me = vi [17:51] Lost_Cause: I like I can use vi commands in sublime === mimor_ is now known as mimor [17:51] hello [17:51] echobravo: edit /etc/default/locale, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/130649/when-i-rebooted-12-04-certain-menus-are-in-chinese-japanese [17:51] !lista [17:51] prova: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [17:52] rodj: i am too newby to figure out how to effectily use vi. i end up just getting angry [17:52] !channel [17:53] TJ-, So much better! Something is still broken with the ec2-cmd tools, but redis is building correctly now. [17:54] Lost_Cause: vi it takes some getting use to. if I had to learn again, I probably would not be as successfull. [17:54] Hi. I am installing ubuntu now in my new laptop. In "something else" partitioning, what mount point should I set for a drive which is not root or not home... [17:54] The locale in /etc/default/local is en_US.UTF-8 === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st === mfisch` is now known as mfisch [17:54] Please note I'm using gnome3, not unity. [17:55] archana: It's up to you, just choose a directory that will remind you of the contents of that partition. E.G.: if it's the Windows partition, use /windows. === mfisch is now known as Guest16307 === mimor is now known as mimor_ [17:55] Lost_Cause: is there a way to tell the menu to reload? I think I had to log off and logon to see changes. [17:55] elgaton: it's a new harddrive with full free space. I bought it without windows preinstalled. [17:56] rodj if you using gnome type f2 and type r [17:56] elgaton: I want to create drives in which I will only store files.. I mean, not root or not home. What mount point do I set for it? "/mount" is not shown in drop down menu [17:56] Well, a coworker managed to bring it back to english. Thanks, anyway! [17:57] elgaton: sorry. I mean /mount [17:57] elgaton: I mean, in my desktop, extra drives are mounted in /media === Guest16307 is now known as mfisch [17:57] elgaton: do you understand my problem? Sorry, English is not my native language. [17:57] rodj: Typing 'r' or 'restart' in the Alt+F2 prompt will restart GNOME Shell [17:58] echobravo: Sorry, never had that problem, was just relying on google ... [17:58] archana: I do :) Just use a directory with a meaningful name and preferably in the root, for example "/files". [17:58] archana: if its blank then it can't be mounted yet [17:58] archana : Use /var for storing files…..Generally files over ftp http are stored in /var [17:59] archana: you need to give it partitions with filesystems [17:59] Arthar360: He's trying to set up a mount point for a new disk, using /var wouldn't serve that purpose. [17:59] Ubuntu 11.10: using unity, is there a way to disable drag and drop integration with Firefox?! I have a web app that lets me drag/drop links on a page to reorganize them (html5). When I drag, Ubuntu issues multiple HTTP HEAD requests for the URL and generally breaks drag and drop within Firefox for 5 or 10 seconds [17:59] ThinkT510: Arthar360 elgaton : I don't want to store files in root. I just to want have one root, one home, one three more partitions.. [18:00] elgaton: And that is pretty much personal preference, (needs to be something that makes sense to the user), so.... [18:00] ThinkT510: Arthar360 elgaton like this : root partition, home partition, partition one, partition two. [18:00] elgaton: He needs to be asked some questions... [18:00] I just want to know the mount point in "create new partition" window. [18:01] archana: Choose something like "/files". [18:01] archana: The mount point is up to you to choose. [18:01] Hello. How can I change default browser? [18:01] elgaton: / for root, /home for home, but what mount point for a file storage partition. [18:01] elgaton: wait, let me see if there is a "/files" , thank you. [18:01] ghabit: search Prefered Apps in the dash [18:02] archana: If it does not exist, just create it. [18:02] archana: you don't have to decide now, you can make them later [18:02] archana: It can be /home/archana/videos or /home/achana/pictures or.... [18:02] xangua, what is dash? I'm using gnome-shell. [18:02] archana: call it whatever you like [18:02] archana: So you first create the directory. mkdir ~/Files [18:02] or.... [18:03] ThinkT510: usr13 you mean, I can simple type "/files" in create new parition window? [18:03] bluetooth...anyone? [18:03] archana: i tend to mount them under /mnt/whateveryouwanttocallit [18:03] I can no longer seem to turn on bluetooth on my 11.10 machine [18:03] archana: i wouldn't put them under / [18:03] used to work fine [18:03] am guessing some update screwed with it [18:04] archana: You create a new directory for it, and then make the entry in the /etc/fstab file that indicates that the partition be mounted there in that [new] directory. [18:04] anyone know how i can download libpng15? [18:04] software center only has v12 [18:04] ThinkT510: so, shall I type "/mnt/storage" ? [18:04] archana : See my Pm [18:05] archana: i would wait till after the install then make them manually [18:05] archana: you'd need to have the directories there to mount them too [18:05] caixa: So you now have libpng12? What is needing it? [18:05] No luck :( [18:05] to [18:05] caixa: You may be able to just do a symlink [18:05] hi, im having a rather annoying problem, for some reason i cant upload anything through my browser(firefox) im using ubuntu12.04. i can't upload to facebook or any of the pastebin type sites. any ideas? [18:06] The app shows up in the list, but the icon is wrong [18:06] usr13, yes, i have 12 and trying to launch a game and getting -libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:06] ThinkT510: will installation proceed in a new unpartitioned harddrive if I leave the mount point empty, and then create another two partitions which can have mount point / and mount point /home? [18:07] Can anyone make sense of the apache error "Expired timestamp: given 1344340094 and now 1344361645 has a greater difference than threshold 300"? ntp is running and the hardware clock is correct. [18:07] caixa: ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng15.so.15 [18:07] archana: no, you need / to install to [18:07] caixa: sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng15.so.15 [18:08] rodj: does it open the program though? [18:08] usr13, ln: failed to create symbolic link `/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng15.so.15': Permission denied [18:08] Lost_Cause: yes, it does. [18:08] archana: Wow, you are doing an install. I thought you were working on an existing system. Sorry for irrelevant information .... [18:08] caixa: sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng15.so.15 [18:09] archana: if you are using a separate /home then in the installer set the / and /home partitions, after the install then make and set any extra storage partitions [18:09] usr13: new laptop, bought without windows preinstalled. [18:09] archana: Awesome! [18:09] usr13, ln: failed to create symbolic link `/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng15.so.15': File exists [18:09] caixa: So where is it expecting it to be? [18:10] usr13: It has full unpartitioned space of 750 gb.. Now I want to create "partition 1, partition 2, extended partition which will have root, home" [18:10] caixa: Or *what* is it expecting? [18:10] usr13, could it be because i have the game folder on the desktop? [18:10] usr13: I want that partition 1 outside for installing windows at a later time if there is a need. Now I wish to know what to choose as mount point for that? [18:11] usr13: sorry, but do you understand my English? :( [18:11] archana: Well, you're gonna want a small swap, a larger / partition, and the rest for /home ( the / partition can be 20 or 30M maybe even less). [18:11] archana: Well, you're gonna want a small swap, a larger / partition, and the rest for /home ( the / partition can be 20 or 30G maybe even less). [18:11] *sorry* *typo* [18:12] trying to find out why Chrome is causing an error in ALSA on a system running pulse-audo [18:12] archana: I would say go with about 4G for swap, 40G for / and the rest for /home === kai__ is now known as OMGUBUNTU [18:13] Chrome on ubuntu gives me flash isues [18:13] On ubuntu server edition, eth0 randomly stops transmitting during a multicast session. Anybody know of this? [18:13] yet Chromium is great and works fine [18:13] usr13: I know all that, thanks. But I just need to know what mount point to give for a drive which is a separate drive, not in root,home,swap list. [18:13] shiman6 I'm pretty sure there is a server channel [18:13] caixa: is it looking for libpng15.so.15 or just libpng15.so ? [18:14] shiman6 : you might find your anser there [18:14] i tried looking for it. do you know the channel? [18:14] shiman6 or bing it XD *google* [18:14] i googled it and checked ubuntu's list of known channels [18:14] it told me to go here [18:14] shiman6: here is fine too (#ubuntu-server if you wanted to know) [18:15] Google say "Ubuntu server 12.04 ethernet *issue here [18:15] <[snake]> is there a way to prepend data to a file in C with fopen or anything? [18:15] say again, i was restarting [18:15] rodj: check the icon path in the .desktop file you created [18:15] thanks everyone, i am going to try ubunt uforums. [18:15] okay. I will ask there [18:15] make sure it is correct and not the default one from the link i gave to you [18:16] C? Are we talking windows [snake] [18:16] <[snake]> OMGUBUNTU, no ubuntu :p [18:16] Clip2net 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 installer [18:16] Lost_Cause: I did, but I did not test to make sure it was a valid .png. [18:16] Lost_Cause: one sec [18:17] <[snake]> OMGUBUNTU, i'd go with mac for developing before windows even. [18:17] usr13, what were you saying, i had to restart [18:17] [snake]: No, you should read the whole file, then rewrite it prepending the additional data you want to add [18:17] <[snake]> elgaton, good idea. [18:18] What 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] 32bit systems can't address more than 4gb. I don't think there's anything that will get you around that [18:18] !pae | mrgenixus [18:18] mrgenixus: 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 info [18:19] mrgenixus: pae lets you get around that 4 gb cap if the processor supports it [18:19] fuck ubuntu one! dropbox rules! [18:19] and #ubuntu-server is a dead chat [18:19] shiman6: buddylinux sounds like there aren't any, if you have PAE installed [18:19] buddylinux: 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). [18:20] Lost_Cause: http://pastie.org/4407248 [18:21] buddylinux: 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] Lost_Cause: maybe you can see something dumb I missed [18:21] caixa: is it looking for libpng15.so.15 or just libpng15.so ? === ubuntu is now known as Guest79440 === Guest79440 is now known as Aitor [18:22] usr13, libpng15.so.15 [18:22] Nobody's responding in the other chat. Could i get help with ubuntu server here? [18:23] caixa: Why did you reboot? [18:23] account for minecraft free? :( [18:23] shiman6: Sure... [18:23] usr13, i thought maybe the libs i installed required a reboot [18:23] ThinkT510, well, now Clip2net is not working... just seems Ubuntu runs more seamlessly on 32-bit and after reading this article, Im wondering if 64 is a bit hyped? http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/32-bit-vs-64-bit-linux-which-to-choose.html [18:24] buddylinux: if something doesn't work on 64bit then it is almost certainly the fault of that app [18:24] my main network interface randomly stops transmitting all packets during a multicast session, and only when i'm multicasting, and i have to restart to use the interface again. it doesnt seem to be the program either. [18:24] rodj: i can't see an issue. maybe try using a different picture format and check your graphics driver and make sure its up to date. [18:24] caixa: Installing new libs usually includes ldconfig and depmod -a and so there is no need to reboot. [18:24] rodj: i am sorry i am stumped [18:25] caixa: But if you do a symlink, no need for anything. [18:25] Jordan_U, can't think of an app which requires more than 3gb ram. I only have 8gb ram anyway. I hear some things even run slower on 64, so, does that balance out? Pros and Cons ... but [18:25] buddylinux: Flash is native 64 bit now. [18:25] hi there. Id like a help to use ubuntu interface in english, and keyboard language to type in portuguese brazilian. What do I need to do ? [18:25] usr13, doesnt make sense, i have libpng15.so.15 in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ folder [18:25] Hello [18:25] Good day? [18:25] Jordan_U, I was going to add... the 32 vs 64 has people divided [18:26] could any one help me please? [18:26] caixa: and.....? [18:26] S4nD3r, you need a "keyboard layout" for your language. hit the meta key and start typing "keyboard layout" [18:26] where does the setting for the classpath reside? [18:26] S4nD3r, it should bring up the keyboard layout options [18:26] buddylinux: Ubuntu seems to do a pretty good job at 64 bit, windows on the otherhand doesnt. [18:26] Lost_Cause: ok, thanks [18:26] usr13, and the game running in terminal tells me there is no such fire or directory [18:26] business2727: Just state your question, if someone knows the answer he will respond [18:26] usr13, could it be because the game folder is on the desktop? [18:26] t432: in the CLASSPATH environment variable [18:26] I just installed xubuntu on my pc and i want to activate wireless card? [18:26] caixa: Tells you there is no such file *where*? [18:27] usr13, /home/jeffrey/Desktop/desura/common/warsow/warsow.x86_64' [18:27] /home/jeffrey/Desktop/desura/common/warsow/warsow.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:27] when I type locale, i got it LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt_PT:zh_CN [18:27] elgaton: where the location of this file? [18:27] rodj: try using Desktop Entry Editor [18:27] is the* [18:27] I remove zh_CN but that always come back [18:27] I need to add something to the file [18:27] it should allow you to preview the icon to see if it works [18:27] caixa: let's start over. What game is it and how was it installed. And where was it downloaded from?(if applicable). [18:28] I just installed xubuntu on my pc and i want to activate wireless card???? [18:28] t432: open a terminal and type "echo $CLASSPATH" to view it - it is normally set in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile [18:28] any known ubuntu issues with clonezilla and drbl? [18:28] usr13, its warsow installed from desure x64 client [18:28] S4nD3r, you should open your System Settings, it has everything about language support and keyboard layouts in t [18:28] S4nD3r, *in it [18:28] caixa: What? [18:28] I did [18:29] But china is not marked as installed [18:29] caixa: Did you do: sudo apt-get install warsow ? [18:29] then, I can't to remove it [18:29] business2727: It should work out of the box - if not, there are generally simple steps to perform (and I'll try to help you). Do you know its make and model? [18:29] caixa: or....? [18:29] Lost_Cause: that somehting I install? [18:29] usr13, i installed it through desura, its a game client like steam [18:29] caixa: Why did you *not* use the package manager? [18:29] S4nD3r, wait, you have your system in English but can't type in Portuguese? [18:30] sure [18:30] elgaton, it's Broadcom 802.11b\g [18:30] caixa: i.e. sudo apt-get install warsow [18:30] usr13, why? because ive installed a few other games through the client and they've worked [18:30] S4nD3r, 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 system [18:30] (or something like that :) [18:30] I like to read in english, but I'm brazilian, then I type in portuguese [18:30] caixa: Oh ok. [18:30] usr13, and im pretty sure it doesnt have a package [18:30] S4nD3r, go to Keyboard Layout then [18:30] S4nD3r, not to Language Support [18:30] caixa: Well, I'm pretty sure it does [18:30] ok, it's in brazil layout [18:31] S4nD3r, can you change the language with alt+shift? [18:31] rodj: https://github.com/MicahCarrick/desktop-entry-editor#install [18:31] sure [18:31] caixa: apt-cache search warsow #An easy way to check to see if it is there or not. (FYI)... [18:31] S4nD3r, ok so the problem is the Chinese thing? I probably didn't understand your problem [18:31] business2727: Could you open a terminal and type "sudo lshw", then paste the output in a pastebin? [18:31] usr13, yeah it returns nothing [18:32] neither app works with these layout [18:32] in skype for example [18:32] in texmaker [18:32] S4nD3r, can you type in Portuguese in a simple application like gedit? [18:32] S4nD3r, if this doesn't work then alt [18:32] how could i do that? now i talk to you from my second system on same pc on xp now [18:32] caixa: You should enable multiverse [18:33] S4nD3r, *it means alt+shift doesn't change your layout from english to portuguese [18:33] usr13, what is that? [18:33] !multiverse | caixa [18:33] caixa: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:33] çççaçaããããéééáááá it's ok ! [18:33] but in texmaker and skype no ! [18:33] S4nD3r, i see, just a second [18:33] and, there china there [18:33] I've just reinstalled and setup Ubuntu 12.04 on new hardware, all things look good. The new hardware has UEFI boot and it seem to boot faster with this so I want it on. I have another operating system installed on another drive/partition which I could boot from GRUB2 on my old hardware which did not have UEFI. update-grub finds the other bootable partition and makes a menu entry for it, but it will not boot... complaining about UEFI something. I [18:33] s it possible to boot old BIOS bootable partitions using GRUB2 on UEFI? [18:35] business2727: OK, run this specific command: "lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4". What I need are (1) the precise card model (it should look like "BCExxxx") and the PCI ID of the card (should look like "[14e4:xxxx]"). (xxxx are letters and/or numbers). [18:35] Could someone help me with java plugin for chromium. I performedsteps from ubuntu how to site and java is instaled but problem is with plugin. If you able to help pls priv me [18:35] bj0rn2, I know nothing about UEFI, but here is a wiki to check out while you are waiting. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting#UEFI%20Shell [18:35] S4nD3r, By the way if you write someone's nickname in the message it will highlight it for them so it's easier to read. To highlight me please type "lous" and it should autocomplete to my nick [18:36] jakub: Try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47240/how-can-i-enable-java-in-chromium [18:36] lousygarua, ok then! [18:37] Hi all. Anyone familiar with setting up dhcp relays? More specifically, the dhcpd.conf to match, given multiple relaying agents. [18:37] How could i run that? from The prompt command????? I'm on xp [18:37] S4nD3r, try this: open Keyboard Layout again, and choose "Allow different layouts for individual windows" [18:38] bj0rn2, Are signed up with the ubuntu forums as well? [18:38] wilee-nilee: yup [18:38] hi i have an issue with my sdcard device, it will not mount my cameras SD card [18:39] bj0rn2, cool there is great help there on this sort of subject. ;) [18:39] start a thread if needed [18:39] business2727: Have you access on a second computer near you? It would be extremely useful to chat on one system and try to solve the problem on the one you are currently on. [18:39] lousygarua, you mean "Separate layout for each window"? [18:39] lousygarua, or "New windows use active window's layout" ? [18:39] Lost_Cause: I moved the icon to /tmp/s.png that worked [18:40] Lost_Cause: now to find a proper location for it. [18:40] business2727: Otherwise, I can just tell you if your card is supported or not and give you the steps to solve the problem, but I won't be able to help in case it does not work [18:40] S4nD3r, I got different options to choose from. Try choosing Separate layout for each window [18:40] how could i run the specific command [18:40] wilee-nilee: thanks, will do.. after trying to get some answers at #grub :) [18:40] usr13, i think its already enabled, the lines in the sources.list aren't commented [18:40] bj0rn2, cool. [18:40] lousygarua, these is checked! [18:41] caixa: then do: sudo apt-get update [18:41] caixa: The multiverse line is not commented? [18:41] elgaton: Java isnt listed on chrome://plugins [18:41] S4nD3r, you have the latest ubuntu? 12.04? do you use gnome3 or unity? [18:41] business2727: Just a minute, I'll search if there's another way to check the model without rebooting to Ubuntu [18:41] 11.04 [18:41] S4nD3r, I use multiple layouts myself and don't have this problem with skype :( [18:42] usr13, http://pastebin.com/Cb0cHrQq that is my sources.list [18:42] lousygarua, ummm [18:42] caixa: doing sudo apt-get update should enable any newly selected sources [18:42] usr13, the only thing commented is canonicals [18:42] jakub: Then install it (the package name is icedtea-6-plugin) and restart Chromium, should work after that [18:42] is there a GUI for looking at Groups and Users? [18:43] en1gma: Yes, in the control panel (on both GNOME/Unity and KDE) [18:43] caixa: sudo apt-get update [18:43] usr13, yeah i did it then did another search same thing comes up empty [18:43] lousygarua, Is it possible to reset all configuration to language desktop? [18:43] lousygarua, maybe some missed configuration is broken [18:44] Hi I am facing a problem ! while upgrading my ubuntu to 12.04 LTS unfortunately shutdown the system and after that when i reboot my system it shows black screen , i am not able to login to my ubuntu [18:44] caixa: lsb_release -r #Show us what it says. [18:44] 12.04 [18:45] caixa: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [18:45] hi all [18:45] S4nD3r, I'm not sure, maybe try this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them === Ool_ is now known as Ool [18:45] I am trying to customize a xubuntu iso based on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Advanced_Customizations [18:46] I was able to rebuild the initrd.lz file [18:46] so that I have username and password set for the live session user [18:46] rodj: /opt is for third-party binaries so installing it there would probably make the most sense [18:46] Hi all , I am facing a problem ! while upgrading my ubuntu to 12.04 LTS unfortunately shutdown the system and after that when i reboot my system it shows black screen , i am not able to login to my ubuntu, please help me out [18:46] business2727: OK, to get the hardware ID open Computer Management, then open the Device Manager, right-click on your wireless card and choose Properties, in the Advanced tab there should be a dropdown list, choose "Hardware ID" from that and copy and paste the contents displayed below (I'm going from memory, might not be 100% accurate) [18:46] usr13, ok it finished [18:46] but I am not succeeding in changing the background image [18:46] can please someone give a hint on that? [18:46] elgaton O_o you were right. thanks [18:47] lousygarua, I'll see it. Thanks for awhile [18:47] en1gma: You're welcome [18:47] caixa: And then do: apt-cache search warsow [18:47] What to do afetr brokenm ubuntu upgrade !I am not able to login ! [18:47] i just installed wireshark and when i do 'sudo wireshark' it dont like being ran as root. am i supposed to run it a different way? i dont see a wireshark group [18:47] please help me out [18:47] usr13, same thing, returns nothing... its weird though because i never uncommented multiverse before [18:48] usr13, the only thing ive ever done in sources.list was add spotify [18:48] en1gma: just run it as wireshark [18:49] k [18:49] Hi all , I am facing a problem ! while upgrading my ubuntu to 12.04 LTS unfortunately shutdown the system and after that when i reboot my system it shows black screen , i am not able to login to my ubuntu, the system freezes at seemingly random points and leaves me with only a cursor. please help me out ! [18:49] Lost_Cause: the desktop does not like the spaces. [18:49] ajnr: Did the shutdown occur in the middle of the upgrade? [18:49] caixa: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/getdeb_games/precise/games/getdeb/warsow [18:50] elgaton, yes , one of my friend just shut down , he was not aware that upgrade is going on :( [18:50] usr13, all the links are broken [18:50] rodj: what do you mean?? [18:50] elgaton, now the system freezes at seemingly random points and leaves me with only a cursor [18:51] usr13, even playdeb doesnt work, broken link [18:51] caixa: What links are broken? [18:51] usr13, 64bit deb package, apt install [18:51] ajnr: it would be wise to backup, format the Ubuntu partition and reinstall from scratch, the system might have been left in an unstable state with mixed packages from the old and the new version [18:51] kalxas, I'm looking at the link you gave, I'll try to help you although you probably know more than me, [18:52] lousygarua, thanks [18:52] elgaton, its the worst case scenario ! its not possible to recover it !? [18:52] I have tried to reach ubuntu-devel and xubuntu-devel without success [18:52] Lost_Cause: I changed it to be "Icon=/home/rodj/apps/sublime/Icon/128x128/sublime_text.png" and changed the directory from "Sublime Text 2" to "sublime" [18:53] I have replaced the image in initrd with my own (using the same file name) but still does not work [18:53] I assume that ubuntu and xubuntu are the same in that [18:54] ajnr: I recommend separating / and /home partitions to make it easy to install from scratch instead of upgrading. you could clean out your current installation to represent home fix up the partitions using gparted. [18:54] ajnr: It would be difficult as you would need to examine the installation logs (I think they should be in /var/log/installer, don't remember the exact directory), then see which packages were upgraded and which ones were not, install the missing packages (paying attention to the dependencies)... There is a thing you could try though: [18:55] lousygarua, thank you very much [18:55] Lost_Cause: no the only issue (very minor) is there is no icon on the recently used. There a way to clear that? [18:55] lousygarua, now it's all working good! [18:55] elgaton, but how to do ? dint know the procedure ! [18:55] S4nD3r, good :) you followed the instructions on the askubuntu link I sent? [18:56] ajnr: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, edit all lines so that the distribution is "precise" and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" - it's extremely risky though and it's only a temporary solution. [18:56] ajnr: Better to backup and reinstall from scratch. [18:56] is it possible to create something like this for ubuntu http://i.imgur.com/84Oic.jpg [18:56] caixa: You should be asking about this issue in a desura forum of some sort. [18:56] rodj: not that i know of. try the old try and true of power cycle or restarting the shell again now that the icon works [18:57] how to backup ? elgaton [18:57] evilytwisted: you can create anything you like for Linux [18:57] !x [18:57] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [18:57] Lost_Cause: not that big of a deal [18:57] !ati [18:57] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [18:57] spirit3_: like this http://i.imgur.com/84Oic.jpg? [18:58] evilytwisted: what? interesting backdrop and some CPU/disk space monitors plus a weather gadget? what's so special about it? [18:58] rodj: ya i just don't know too much about gnome. i also just used a terminal to launch sublime [18:58] spirit3_: the menu thing, [18:58] enables you to set something in the center of the desktop [18:59] and act like a small menu [18:59] Lost_Cause: I am too lazy to lauch it from the command line, lol [18:59] kalxas, I'm not sure, but maybe the instructions in the link you gave are for gnome2 and gnome3 has more configuration files for the background (even if you use unity it's still only a shell over gnome3) [18:59] evilytwisted: I'm sure there's a launcher suitable ... maybe look somewhere like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_desktop_application_launchers [18:59] kalxas, maybe while chrooted try something like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=933248 [19:00] elgaton, is it possible to get the terminal [19:00] elgaton, otherwise its not possible to get backup my data ! [19:00] rodj: if its in the path all you have to do is type "subl" +tab + enter and your done. no need to use a mouse [19:00] ajnr: Start the system from a live CD, then connect an external drive/USB key. Open a terminal and type "cd && tar -pczf /backup.tar.gz ." [19:01] ajnr: That will backup ALL the contents in your home directory to a file named backup.tar.gz on your external drive. [19:01] lousygarua, I am working on a xubuntu iso so I have xfce to play with [19:01] ajnr: You could try to type Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get the terminal, don't know if it will work though [19:01] kalxas, ahhhhh right i forgot [19:01] elgaton, its not coming ! i tried it [19:02] how can I make my computer always request the same IP no matter what router it connects to? [19:02] ajnr: Then the system is definitely not working, the only solution is booting from a live CD and use the terminal from there. [19:02] kalxas, did you find a link explaining to change the default xfce background? I dunno [19:02] Lost_Cause: I know, I know. [19:02] elgaton, but on official "askubuntu" there is i should remove icedtea6-plugin and make link. In my system it is: ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [19:02] elgaton, okk ! [19:03] usr13, lol i think the problem is the game not desura, im tryig this method now - http://www.warsow.net/download/ubuntu_precise [19:03] caixa: Or maybe *searching* this issue in a desura forum [19:03] elgaton, I just try to understand :) thats the url: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7 [19:04] caixa: Ok... [19:04] lousygarua, I am able to do this while building my applications in the custom disk, but I want the same image in the installation process. this is what I do for the custom build: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_desktop.sh [19:04] usr13, i have searched, asking here is after google searching [19:04] usr13, thanks for your help though, i appreciate it [19:04] jakub: That's for Java 7 downloaded from the Oracle Web site, not for the version of Java included with Ubuntu [19:04] lousygarua, and this is my chroot script: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/build_chroot.sh [19:05] caixa: NP [19:06] hello, i'm using a wireless USB mouse, witch suddenly stopped working and when I check the syslog I get this " usb 2-2: reset low speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd" I dont get just number 12. any one know what's wrong? [19:08] usr13, unreal... it works following that guide.. i think i needed precise binaries [19:08] very good [19:09] Hello [19:10] kalxas, let me see if I get this right, the installer shows the default xfce installer background but once installed it shows your custom background? [19:10] lousygarua, yes [19:10] how do i remove the "CHAT" option from the envelope icon at the top of the screen? i already deleted Empathy [19:11] hello guys [19:11] caixa: 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). [19:12] pr0ndigy: then you probably just need to log out/back in, to restart indicator-messages [19:12] kalxas, 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] trism, i tried that but it's still there [19:12] caixa: And, games are complicated peices of software to begin with. [19:13] pr0ndigy: what is: ls /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ [19:13] ok lousygarua thanks [19:13] which versions of ubuntu come with mono by default? [19:13] i was reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [19:13] for example.. banshee depends on mono... [19:14] tomboy also depends on mono [19:14] i like to contribte to ubuntu [19:14] crackerjackz: ubuntu no longers comes with mono or any mono dependant apps, you can still install them [19:14] what should i do now? [19:14] xangua, what versions of ubuntu was it that came with mono - i am just curious [19:15] lousygarua: ubiquity is the name of the installer, exactly the same as the ubuntu one [19:15] I'm new with Ubuntu. At first I thought I could use my desktop also for links to programmes. But I seem wrong. Is there another function for it? An how can I make a good overview of my programs? [19:16] trism, gwibber.indicator pidgin thunderbird [19:16] anyone [19:17] savio: What is your level of expertise? You could, e.g., improve bug reports, fix bugs, or translate packages [19:17] elgaton: i'm kinda newbie to testing [19:17] elgaton: but i like to do some testing work [19:18] hi [19:19] Hi. 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] savio: OK, you could, for example, test daily ISO images or stable release upgrades [19:19] For Ubuntu, I mean [19:19] ThinkT510, hmm too bad, that guy parted the channel [19:20] pr0ndigy: it really shouldn't show up after a restart then, you don't have anything in ~/.config/indicators/ do you? [19:20] elgaton: can you expain me? [19:20] ThinkT510, So uniquity is the installer and the "try ubuntu" option just launched the appropriate desktop? [19:20] Luig1: if you aren't to hung up on an amd processor i would go with a thinkpad. they are pretty support and have decent hardware [19:20] lousygarua: yup [19:20] ThinkT510, good to know, thanks.

Version 2.10.16 (precise), package size 4061 kB, installed size 14193 kB [19:22] Hi.. Does anyone have any tips on securing Ubuntu? [19:22] savio: 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. [19:23] elgaton: is need to install on hdd or vm [19:23] savio: A VM is enough in most cases, real hardware is preferred though. [19:23] trism, where is that? [19:23] savio: 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. [19:24] elgaton: that is interesting [19:24] Lost_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 7730 [19:24] savio: Mind if we continue to chat in private so as to free the channel a bit? [19:25] elgaton: k [19:25] hello, i'm using a wireless USB mouse, witch suddenly stopped working and when I check the syslog I get this " usb 2-2: reset low speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd" I dont get just number 12. any one know what's wrong? [19:26] Luig1: if it is a new i5 like i5-3360M i would go with that [19:27] Luig1, its best to try each one if you can. My gf has an i7 in a laptop, and its slow [19:28] Will 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 Catalyst [19:29] And 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/amd [19:29] in 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 it [19:29] You mean performance? [19:29] even with my discrete on i still get 7 hours of battery life [19:30] Sound problems [19:30] Oh, I see [19:30] Hmm [19:30] i was trying to say battery life. [19:30] hello, if I wanted to download and install libbfd-2.21.53, what would be the command? [19:30] Please, help. I cannot find any extension in Google Chromium what can download video and audio files from sites. [19:30] their is a huge difference in preformence [19:30] pr0ndigy: it probably isn't there by default, it is just another location indicator-messages looks for files (if you didn't add anything there it probably won't be there... ~ is your home directory) [19:32] Agamemnus: sudo apt-get install binutils-dev [19:32] Help? [19:32] The_BROS: Try firefox [19:32] hmm, i'll try it [19:33] trism, it said there was nothing there [19:33] ever since I updated ubuntu (10 min ago) my compiler has stopped working [19:33] thanks [19:33] Does anyone know if I'd be more likely to see overheating issues with intel/nvidia or amd/amd? [19:33] does anyone know how to get rid of pidgin's popup notifications? [19:33] Agamemnus: What version? [19:33] I don't know, just the last one. [19:33] sera a tutti [19:33] pr0ndigy, I don't know how to do that, but it's probably in the preferences. What version are you on? [19:33] Agamemnus: 12.04? [19:33] I just migrated from Firefox. I was using download helper and now I want to find same at Chromium [19:34] i wouldn't know how to check [19:34] usr13, i never understood why linux distros are released so frequently, why not just make one build and use it for 1-2years then release a new one [19:34] Agamemnus: lsb_release -r [19:34] Luig1, newest version, and nothing in the preferences that i saw [19:34] caixa: May I pm you? [19:34] I think I need the older version === matt_ is now known as Guest96606 [19:34] usr13, sure [19:34] pr0ndigy, newest version? What version of Ubuntu are you in, then? [19:35] yes, it's 12.04 === Guest96606 is now known as GBGone [19:35] How could I get the older version of binutils, with libbfd-2.21.53? [19:36] Are there any cross platform alternatively to gambas?

[19:37] I'd like to make binaries for multiple platforms [19:37] mental_mickey, well vb.net has mono. But I generally recommend people *away* from mono [19:38] No way to be sure those guys won't get sued for implementing windows forms etc [19:38] Mono can make use of c# only [19:38] Already tried that [19:38] Not if you compile to cil [19:38] Unless I'm mistaken about the architecture === GBGone is now known as jpmorgue [19:38] I know realbasic but its commercial software [19:39] What about freebasic then? [19:39] It's the same on every platform [19:39] I'm using freebasic now [19:39] and I can't get it to compile on 12.04 :| [19:39] And there's always python if you want that "plain english" feel [19:39] Though I realize that's not what you were asking for :( [19:39] but i haven't used ubuntu in a while, so i dnno [19:40] trying to find my compiler thread [19:40] hi i have just installed ubuntu 12.04 in my vaio laptop and the brightness keys are not working (fn + f5,f6) but in the live cd the keys worked like a charm. What I must do? Thanks [19:40] I still can't believe they are taking way F3/Split Screen in Nautilus, I use that everyday! [19:40] Luig1, i'm on 12.04 [19:41] Hi [19:41] my user and group are showing up as integers in ls -hallt [19:41] maybe someone knows [19:41] cortexman: Then its not your user and group :) [19:42] I have a laptop with a radeon mobility hd 4200 series. Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. When I install the proprietary drivers either using Jockey or by using a download from the internet, performance really decreases. Any suggestions? [19:42] cortexman: The only reason for numerics shown there is, that neither the UID nor the GID are defined in /etc/passwd and /etc/group [19:43] any time i try to compile, I get this error: "fbc: error loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [19:43] Any ideas?

[19:46] Agamemnus: Well, then I cant help you much, sorry. [19:46] apt-cach seach for libbfd shows a package: binutils-dev [19:46] i think it is trying to access an older version [19:47] which I foolishly deleted [19:47] ouch [19:47] On a precise system, there shouldnt be older versions of that library. [19:50] I have the following /etc/network/interfaces file (http://pastebin.com/bcLrHMnh). When my machine starts up, it correctly sets the static ip, but dns resolution fails until I ifdown then ifup. How can I fix that? [19:52] rpaddock: Did you check the /etc/resolv.conf yet? [19:53] bekks: Yea, it has 2 nameserver entries with the same nameservers === pinguinux is now known as B---D [19:54] does anyone know how I can download files from an svn? i don't remember at all [19:55] Agamemnus: svn checkout [19:55] thank you, i'll try it [19:56] i mean I really don't remember now.... what if it's a GIT thing? [19:56] is there a bug with the (recommended) nvidia driver? I did an upgrade of the system and installed the nvidia driver. now compiz is not loading and it is making the startup login unresponsive. [19:57] Agamemnus: I think it is "git pull url" [19:57] I used the ubuntu recommended driver, I did not install the driver from nvidia.com [19:57] that didn't work..... "not a git repository" [19:58] :( [19:58] I typed in: "git pull git://fbc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/fbc/fbc" [19:58] Agamemnus: git clone url [19:59] ok, that's doing something. [19:59] Greetings.

[20:09] Hi [20:09] UbuntuBoy: you mean have some 'shared' directories ? [20:09] i really really don't remember.

[20:12] is there a way to install a package from natty on precise? It doesn't exist any further forward than that... [20:12] also still no wifi [20:12] should i reboot?

[20:12] It told me it installed into "fbc", but I don't see any fbc folders. [20:12] ?? [20:12] It's called dual boot GreekDollmaker. wubi is also an option. [20:13] Wubi? [20:13] wubi is best avoided if you can do a nirmal dual boot [20:13] Yeah, about that. [20:13] ITs actually a Tri boot. [20:13] hey guys, is really poor performance typical for Ubuntu 12.04 with a recent AMD card [20:13] <[snake]> it's good if you don't know about dual booting or w/e [20:13] I have Windows 98SE installed too. [20:14] is there anyway to run netflix??????????? [20:14] What's Netflix? [20:14] brennan: it is not possible in linux. [20:14] wth would u have 98se installed for [20:14] brennan: virtialbox+windows in it.. [20:14] rez0r, some things are only compatible with one or the other system, I've heard [20:14] IdleOne who do i tell [20:14] ? [20:14] rez0r: Because it can run old PC games. [20:15] it works on regular ubuntu [20:15] brennan: you can either dual boot with windows, or like dr_willis said install windoes in virtualbox and run netflix. [20:15] I have older operating systems on VMware, such as Windows 3.1 [20:15] rez0r, I meant having 98se installed [20:15] brennan: you don't have to tell anyone, it is pretty much common knowledge [20:15] oh [20:15] But I wanted Windows 98SE for different reasons. [20:15] if there is an install.sh, how can I run that? [20:15] dr_willis, who do i tell to have the bug fixed [20:15] brennam what bug? [20:15] brennan: it is not a bug, it is by design [20:15] darn [20:16] For example, I managed to get System Shock 2 Running on Windows 98. [20:16] brennan: email netflix and ask them to support linux. [20:16] GreekDollmaker, check the installation guides. They can go far more in-depth on dual booting than we can in this channel [20:16] The guide depends on how you want to install [20:16] once I have done an md5sum check what else shall I do? [20:16] is it safe and not corrupt [20:16] Loading was slow at crap and it crashed a few times, but other than that, it was awesome. [20:16] I see. [20:16] it says xubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso: OK [20:16] so that's fine, rigt? [20:16] I can install it now? [20:16] i 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 "use [20:16] rname"(/home/username)? [20:17] Googlefu 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?

[20:17] tech1: All your files should live in /home/ [20:17] tech1: your files are in your users /home/username/whatever ;) [20:17] what other checks on the ISO do I need to do? [20:17] tech1: you can create and use a folder wherever you like [20:17] md5sum, right? [20:18] that's it it says xubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso: OK [20:18] tech1: however it makes sense to keep everything in your home ditr [20:18] Hi… I was wondering, what would be the causes of a segmentation fault during the cpio creation while building a custom initramfs? [20:18] ok. its just a longer path, so i guess i need to decide between path semantics and path length [20:18] Me again. [20:18] tech1: there's maybe a solution ... [20:19] what solution [20:19] my keybord cant to a tilda.. heh [20:19] tech1: use /home//Documents/workstuff but create a link from a path you can remember to this ... [20:19] I have just installed everything, marked the folder for sharing. Is that it? [20:19] Anyone 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] tilda/directory = /home/yourusername/directory [20:19] oh i see... you mean a shortcut like the java environment variable uses "$HOME" or something [20:19] i've done everything [20:19] Do I have to do anything in Windows? [20:20] still not showing any proprietary drivers [20:20] ill try that too thanks [20:20] 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 $workstuff [20:21] tech1: so then cd $workstuff [20:21] does anyone know an alternative to 'archive.org'? (a site that collects old versions of sites) [20:21] tech1: This has never been an issue for me though - I'm not sure whay you'd want to [20:21] tech1: you realise /home/user can be abbreviated to ~user ? [20:21] quesada, google cache [20:21] tech1: and with tab completion it rapidly becomes a non-issue [20:22] i just don't understand why my wifi will work fine on ubuntu 12.04, but has this huge problem with xubuntu 12.04 [20:22] it's the same OS isnt it [20:23] cool ill experiment with them both. thanks :) .... no i didnt know that either. ill write all this stuff down... will these shortcuts also work for 3rd party programs like development programs linking resources? or only in terminal [20:23] im gonna try a reboot [20:23] if my drivers dont work im deleting this crapshoot [20:23] ok, so back to square 1... [20:23] rez0r: thats' a weird issue [20:24] its a bcm4311 wifi card [20:24] works great in regular ubuntu [20:24] how would I switch from 12.04 "precise" and install libffd-2.21.53? [20:24] after i manually install the drivers [20:24] tech1: yes, the ~ character is a shortcut to your home die [20:24] dir [20:24] tech1: so you can specify a user ~jon, or you can use the current user ~/Documents (assumes your user) [20:25] rez0r: manually installing drivers ... ouch - most cards nowadays work fine without additional drivers [20:25] Can anyone help me with a JACK issue I'm having? [20:26] Howdy all. Need a hand with what is probably something simple I'm missing. Made a bunch of Ubuntu 12.04 VMs. They can all ping default gateway, but can only sometimes ping each other. It's like I have to 'wake' up the network stack on each one and then ping works. I'm at a loss. === len is now known as Guest47349 [20:26] ahh i see. the following isnt the case for me... but what if there was a system where multiple users wanted to access the same resources? [20:26] rez0r: when you say "manually installing drivers..." do you mean you used fwcutter or you installed with aptitude? [20:27] fwcutter [20:27] and a tar.bz2 with the broadcom drivers [20:27] and wl_apsta.o [20:28] awliste1234: I probably can't help. However, what is the host OS and what virtualisation platform are you using>? [20:28] rez0r: does modprobe show it as loaded? [20:29] or is it that you can't install it using that same method?

[20:30] rez0r: I would do modprobe | grep /what_you're_looking_for/ [20:30] hi I'm using the handy windows ubuntu installer, but can I choose to use 64 bit there? [20:30] Heyyyy, I just installed the newest version of ubuntu via wubi. I'm using three monitors, I cannot see anything in an x session, says "optimal resolution is 1280x1024" [20:31] i have no clue what im looking for [20:31] BUT [20:31] i did a lspci [20:31] Can anyone help with a problem I'm having with JACK [20:31] and it shows this : [20:31] rez0r: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:31] 03:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/ [20:31] ok [20:31] How do I set resolution on ubuntu 12.04 via CLI? I noticed there is no xorg.conf [20:31] one sec [20:31] rez0r: try "lsmod | grep -i broadcom" [20:32] nothing showed up [20:32] !bmc [20:32] !bcm [20:32] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [20:32] i've looked at the help [20:32] all you need is " sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer " and reboot [20:32] that's how i got the apsta program, the drivers, and figured out how to use b43 fwcutter [20:33] lies [20:33] that firmware-b43-installer crap is a hoax [20:33] rez0r: No, he's right. What is the issue exactly? [20:33] doesn't work [20:33] rez0r, it works fine here. [20:33] Is your machine connected to the internet in some other way? [20:33] it is right now [20:33] It works, I'm VERY sure. [20:33] rez0r: what if you run sudo modprobe b43 what happens? [20:33] rez0r: Also, what wifi card is this? [20:33] rez0r: actually, that sounds correct. I've got a 43xx card in here as well (now that I think to look) and I don't recall having to do anything difficult === Godslast1ring is now known as Godslastering [20:34] FATAL: Error inserting b43 (/lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko): Operation not permitted [20:34] can someone tell me where the source code ends up if I run something like 'apt-get install SOMEPACKAGE-src'? [20:34] broadcom 43xx is the most common [20:34] rez0r: sudo modprobe b43 [20:34] rez0r: That looks like you just ran modprobe without sudo [20:34] lol same error [20:35] white_magic i guess you want apt-get source [20:35] rez0r: What card do you have? [20:35] rez0r: What wifi card* [20:35] it's a bcm4311 [20:35] broadcom [20:35] MonkeyDust: where would the source code for that end up? [20:35] rez0r: It will definitely work. I have the same card. Can you run sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer again for me and report if you get any errors? [20:36] white_magic dunno, i'm not a developper myself [20:36] rez0r: It should just tell you it is already installed [20:36] white_magic: doing 'apt-get source packagename' will download it to the directory you are currently in. [20:36] does anyone know how I might be able to download and install libbfd-2.21.53, and/or find out the last installed version of it on my system? [20:36] okay i ran it [20:36] wylde: thanks [20:36] didn't report any errors [20:36] appears to have installed [20:36] reboot? [20:37] rez0r: don't reboot [20:37] rez0r: Did it say it was already installed? [20:37] rez0r: Or did it install / download stuff? [20:37] white_magic "end up" meaning "be downloaded to", now i get it [20:37] Agamemnus: Possibly not the best way to do it but 'find /lib -name libbfd*' [20:37] or /usr/lib if it may live somewhere in there ... [20:37] i got nothing [20:37] You know, I am tempted to try out Ubuntu. [20:37] nope [20:37] rez0r, yes, like the wiki says: reboot after install. [20:37] 1 newly installed [20:37] Problem is, I don't know what to do with it. [20:38] rez0r: sudo modprobe b43 [20:38] the other one worked [20:38] rez0r: PM if you want. It's busy in here. [20:38] GreekDollmaker same thing you did before with your other OS [20:38] GreekDollmaker: Sure, it's fantastic. However it's isn't Windows and there is a learning curve. [20:38] GreekDollmaker: you do whatever you need to use a computer to do. [20:38] Can it run Source games? [20:38] second Q: [20:38] I created a symlink, but now I want to undo it. [20:38] GreekDollmaker you have to learn ubuntu, just like had to learn your current OS [20:38] How can I undo it? [20:39] <[snake]> does anyone else want to look at my code? it's in C http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134881/ [20:39] Agamemnus: unlink [20:39] GreekDollmaker, yes! [20:39] Agamemnus: just delete it (rm ) [20:39] At least, it will before the year is over [20:39] DOes it require programming knowledge? I will learn if it does. [20:39] GreekDollmaker no [20:39] Valve is porting Steam and some games to Ubuntu 12.04 GreekDollmaker [20:39] Agamemnus: deleting the link only deletes the link, not the file it's pointing to [20:39] Python, Ruby, C++, C# and all other types of C? [20:39] They'll be released publicly by year's end [20:39] Oh [20:39] Heyyyy, I just installed the newest version of ubuntu via wubi. I'm using three monitors, I cannot see anything in an x session, says "optimal resolution is 1280x1024" [20:39] How do I set resolution on ubuntu 12.04 via CLI? I noticed there is no xorg.conf [20:40] I want to delete the link [20:40] GreekDollmaker that's for developpers [20:40] my resolution is 3072*1280 [20:40] GreekDollmaker: not required to know, but you can most certainly do all the coding on it. [20:40] I don't have to rebuy it, right? [20:40] rm doesn't seem to work, says no such file or directory.. [20:40] Rebuy my old source games. [20:40] GreekDollmaker it's free, as in free beer [20:40] I know Ubuntu is free. [20:40] Thats why I want to try it [20:40] With "telnet localhost 25", it works when I send an email, but with php mail's function it doesn't, even though I have localhost and port 25 configured in my php.ini, I don't get any error message, the mail is just not sent, why? [20:40] I ran this command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so [20:41] That's per http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg3236007.html .... but the last version is just 2.22-system.so [20:41] <[snake]> bilel, telnet isn't very secure [20:41] bilel: is it logged elsewhere? web/apache error logs? [20:41] so I think I need to do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so [20:41] /usr/lib/libbfd-2.22-system.so [20:41] GreekDollmaker what's you current OS? [20:41] ......but it won't let me. [20:41] Dual boot on Windows 7 and Windows 98SE [20:42] * K4k didn't know there was hardware that supported both 98SE and 7... [20:42] GreekDollmaker read this, but DON'T try wubi https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [20:42] spirit3_: no it was just a script launched in cli to test if it works [20:42] Recently reformated and had Windows vista upgraded. [20:42] <[snake]> K4k, how do you do that? [20:42] [snake]: do what? [20:43] Write at the start /me and after that stuf [20:43] <[snake]> K4k, the thing: k4k didn't know that there was harware that supported both 98se and 7 [20:43] Agamemnus: ln -s oldfile newname [20:43] For example writing "/me wants to make dolls will make this: [20:43] * GreekDollmaker wants to make dolls [20:43] * [snake] attempted to do the thingy [20:43] Also K4K http://www.thpc.info/dual/win7/dualboot_win7+9x_on_win7.html [20:43] <[snake]> I did it! [20:43] GreekDollmaker did you see my link? [20:43] Yes [20:44] That link I posted shows how to Dual boot Windows 7 and windows 98SE [20:44] I will read the manuals to see if I can Multiboot Ubuntu there too. [20:44] bekks: ? I think I tried it. [20:44] but it gives me an error that the file already exists. [20:45] <[snake]> still here is my code, there is a problem with the order that the fprintfs are showing up when I print it all out. it's in button_press() http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134881/ [20:45] Agamemnus: You did: ln -s newname oldfile [20:45] ... even though when I try to use my compiler, the compiler complains that the file DOESN'T exist [20:45] I didn't. [20:46] GreekDollmaker: interesting. Though I was more referring to the notion that there were new drivers for old hardware and vice-versa [20:46] Anyways, 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] well [20:46] K4K: Mine apparently can do it. [20:46] OK, maybe I did, but now I am not. [20:46] Not sure why, I havne't checked on my drivers. [20:47] spirit3_: 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] GreekDollmaker: 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 OSs [20:47] hi folks. can anyone help me get my graphics drivers working? I don't even know where to start [20:47] seabeepirate: what graphics card do you have? [20:47] k4K: I see. [20:48] <[snake]> is there a way I can tell which ports an application(server) is running on? [20:48] It won't do anything to VMware Boot loader. [20:48] k4k give me a minute I can't remember [20:48] bekks: so, basically, (1) my error when compiling is "fbc: error loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.21.53-system.20110810.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", and I think the new file is called libbfd-2.22-system.so.. any idea on how to fix this? [20:48] GreekDollmaker there's also this http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html [20:48] Stupid question, thats runs inside windwos 7 [20:48] seabeepirate: run lspci | grep VGA. It might tell you [20:49] I'm not even sure if it's looking in usr/lib. [20:49] [snake]: from a remote system or on the system the services are running on? [20:49] Hey so, how do I set my resolution to 3072*1280 in ubuntu 12.04 via cli? [20:49] I tried xrandr, didn't work [20:49] said it could get screen? [20:50] <[snake]> K4k, the system it's running on [20:50] I will propably need to buy a new Hard Drive, I have a 180GB and Spliting that with Windows 7, Windows 98SE, Windows 3.1 and Ubuntu will propably give me smaller space to work with. [20:50] Hello all! I just installed 'eterm' using ' sudo aptitude install eterm' Looked like something was installed but when I run 'eterm' in the command line, 'eterm' cannot be found!! Do I have to do a restart or something?! [20:50] I can't evens seem to copy properly..... permission denied! [20:51] [snake]: try netstat [20:51] For others that were helping rez0r he had b43 blacklisted [20:51] deadmund: ah, that would do it XD [20:51] lloowen: try "find eterm" [20:51] :) [20:51] Question: Is Ubuntu a good enviroment to model in 3D (3DSMax Maya etx) [20:51] Agamemnus: where are you trying to copy stuff to? [20:51] Memory wise. [20:51] !cookie | deadmund [20:51] deadmund: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:51] <[snake]> GreekDollmaker, yes and Blender is good too [20:52] I want to use Source Filmmaker on Ubuntu actually, it will propably run faster and eat less memory. [20:52] * deadmund destroys cookie with fierce mandible. [20:52] heh [20:52] k4k nothing happened when I ran that in terminal. I think it's one of the intel mobile chipsets I'm still looking [20:52] I remember they did tests of the Source engine on Linux. It worked better there than on Windows. [20:52] After a few fixxes obviously. [20:52] seabeepirate: just running lspci will list everything, you can try manually sifting through the list [20:52] i'm very excited for steam officially coming to linux. [20:52] lloowen: in order to do that you should have something called eterm on one of the directories when you type echo $PATH [20:52] it's been many years I've envisioned this day === toti1 is now known as totia [20:53] * shazbotmcnasty stares off mountain top [20:53] Wait, If I Tri boot it, does that mean I have to install my games on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu? [20:54] k4k intel gma 4500m [20:54] apparently i'm not the owner of usr/lib [20:54] bilel: 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] any way to make myself the owner of it? [20:55] seabeepirate: that card should work automatically, what's the issue you're having? [20:55] I mean, they have different code stractures, so that means I have to install them on Ubuntu too. [20:56] k4k 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 me [20:57] hey guys. I added a new session to my "Login Screen" options [20:57] (via a new file in /usr/share/xsessions) [20:57] but it doesn't show up in gdm :/ [20:57] (event after a gdm restart) [20:57] Hello [20:57] What's up everyone? [20:58] kamran: Eh, we are doing fine. [20:58] lloowen: maybe it's installed but you just don't have anything in your path, if you find where it has been installed you'll just have to create a symlink to it in one of your PATH folder I guess [20:58] seabeepirate: is the workaround to put something like "i915.modeset=0" in grub? [20:58] oh 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] yes [20:58] Thats good [20:58] Agamemnus: OUCH. [20:59] j`ey: can you pastebin the .desktop file? [20:59] Does everyone in this channel use Ubuntu? [20:59] Agamemnus: You dont have to touch the permissions of /usr/lib at all. [20:59] k4k I forgot to mention this is a 64 bit system [20:59] Agamemnus: Just use sudo cp next time. [20:59] trism: im not at that computer currently, but I just took the gnome one, and changed the exec path to dwm [20:59] seabeepirate: right, that's going to foce it to load the generic driver. I've had this issue before on another system, I'm trying to dig up what I did for it (hopefully it wasn't the modeset=0 workaround) [20:59] oh, I think I remember now about that, thanks [20:59] j`ey: did you change the name too? [20:59] Agamemnus: Did you change the permissions back to what they've been before? [20:59] trism: yep [21:00] no, I don't know what they are. I was going to ask [21:00] what are they? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [21:00] Agamemnus: what are they now, on your box? [21:00] k4k haha thanks. btw I used modset=1 but it has the same effect I think. [21:00] AaronMT, AaronCampbell, aaas, a_p3rson, A_J_, aboudreault, abhinav_singh, Aaton_off hi [21:00] random guess of 644 [21:00] j`ey: you didn't copy the "Hidden=true" one did you? [21:00] Agamemnus: Which command did you run, exactly? [21:00] trism: hm, i dont think so [21:00] Please don't ping random people. [21:00] 644 does not enable write permissions for normal users. [21:00] trism: not currently on the machine in question [21:00] j`ey: because here, gnome.desktop has that line [21:00] how do I change permissions for a whole HDD from root to me? [21:01] Does anyone know why "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" must run 2 times in a shell script, that the shell shows me the network configuration? [21:01] I saw someone say 644 worked, then I used 777 because that didn't work.... then back to 644 [21:01] trism: oh.. [21:01] http://wiresmash.com/amazing/awesome-man-caves/ [21:01] nice [21:01] chown [21:01] trism: I hope I didnt :P [21:01] trism: oh, you may be talking about 12.04? [21:01] im on 10.04 [21:01] Agamemnus: Well, and using which command? [21:01] I ran: "sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib" === mh0 is now known as \h [21:01] sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/* [21:01] Agamemnus: So you used sudo chmod but you did not use sudo cp? Odd. [21:01] j`ey: those are my only ideas that this point, without actually looking at the file [21:02] google :) [21:02] k4k if you find it can you message me in a private window? [21:02] what is it supposed to be? [21:02] !danger | dudewhat [21:02] dudewhat: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [21:02] trism: ok, thanks, I'll double check tomorrow === benj is now known as Guest51548 [21:02] 444? 004? [21:02] trism: i might just resort to bypassing gdm, and starting a new xserver [21:02] Agamemnus: NO. DONT touch the permissions. [21:02] Agamemnus: Use sudo. [21:02] but I already did [21:02] so what should it be? [21:02] * rez0r wifi's with ease [21:02] chown? [21:02] :D [21:02] Agamemnus: 644 [21:02] j`ey: I don't see why it wouldn't work, I always create a ratpoison.desktop file [21:02] seabeepirate: switch the private window, I think I've got your fix [21:02] ah, okay, thanks [21:03] trism: like I said, shows up in the login screen settings, so I dont know why not in gdm :) [21:03] How is he suppose to access the directory when it's not +x? [21:03] jpds: ack. [21:03] Agamemnus: 744. [21:03] 755 [21:03] rez0r: You there? [21:03] bekks: That's rw-, not r-x. [21:03] Using 744, only root will be able to access that directory. [21:04] okay. [21:04] jpds: 5 means: r-x [21:04] I'm not used to running ubuntu as a non root account [21:04] jpds: 4 means rw [21:04] Does anyone here know how to change the resolution to three monitors 3072*1280 via cli? xrandr said it couldn't get the screen. I also noticed there is no xorg.conf [21:04] err. 4 means ro [21:04] 6 means rw. [21:04] idk wat to do \o/ [21:04] bekks: Right. [21:04] I think 755 is better because 744 doesn't let me compile for some reason. [21:04] yeah [21:07] totally noob question now: [21:07] why are you compiling in usr/lib? [21:07] I compiled it, but if I run it, it doesn't run [21:07] I'm not. [21:07] ln -s it to /usr/bin [21:07] the file is named "compilescripts".... how do I run it in the command line? === aaaas is now known as aaas [21:07] "./compilescripts" [21:07] aha, thanks [21:08] aha, math parser.bi is missing. [21:08] Does anyone know why "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" must run 2 times in a shell script, that the shell shows me the network configuration? [21:09] what [21:09] Trimer__: Yea... what? [21:09] Trimer__: An error in the shell script perhaps? [21:09] Success! [21:10] any ubuntu network gurus got a moment to help me out with an issue? [21:11] hi all. [21:11] define guru [21:11] awliste1234: Just ask your question :) [21:11] no error the script runs, but "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" must run 2 times, that i see the network configuration in the terminal [21:11] Trimer__: Something is clearly not right! [21:12] Trimer__: care to paste your script? [21:12] I want to enable the touchpad on my thinkpad t60..is there some one who can help me? [21:12] Got 6 VMs. All loaded Ubuntu 12.04. All can ping out to the big internet, no problems. In the local segment, pings are intermittent from one host to another. [21:12] thank you.. [21:12] if i use "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" nothing will happen [21:12] It's like the network interfaces are going to sleep. [21:12] yeah i can post the script, but it's very long [21:13] are they on the same subnet? [21:13] When I come in via console and make some noise, they wake up. [21:13] yup. [21:13] Trimer__: Are you sure the script isn't waiting for a password to sudo? [21:13] Trimer__: so... [21:13] Are you in sudoers? [21:13] tcpdump shows me ARPs [21:13] are you using a switch? [21:13] !pastebin | Trimer__ [21:13] Trimer__: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:13] could be the collision domains [21:13] It's like I can't get consistent L3 comms. [21:13] yup. [21:13] Trimer__: Maybe it needs to be just /sbin/ifconfig [21:14] Trimer__: Who is this script run by? [21:14] collision domains? [21:14] Trimer__: What is it for? Where is it? [21:14] it's a switched network fabric. [21:14] thats what I thought [21:14] yes the script isn't waiting for a password and i'm in the sudoers file === angel is now known as Guest50097 [21:15] @usr13 it's for network configuration and for samba [21:15] Trimer__: It has to be waiting for a password, if it's sudo [21:15] are you using RIP or static routes? [21:15] not routing at all. Flat network segment. [21:15] 1 VLAN. [21:15] i am new here..how i can get some help? [21:15] 1 subnet. 6 hosts and a gateway. [21:15] usr13: only the first time, anytime after that for 5 minutes will not prompt for password === Guest50097 is now known as ykki [21:15] antonio_: By just asking :) === ykki is now known as yki [21:16] Trimer__: Maybe it needs to be 2 scripts and one calles the other. [21:16] hi there [21:16] ok [21:16] 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] Bodsda: Right, but at some point, a password needs to be supplied, so using sudo in a script is a problem [21:16] i have thinkpad t60 and I want to enable the touchpad [21:17] on ubuntu 12.4 [21:17] @usr yes but the is a command with sudo before it runs sudo /sbin/ifconfig [21:17] usr13: using sudo to run ifconfig is pointless in itself [21:17] Trimer__: Do you need to use sudo? ifconfig should return everything you need without it? [21:17] Bodsda: Yep [21:17] my compiled program doesn't work, I think something to do with new files again. [21:17] once all the devices have pinged each other they should cache the arp [21:18] I've got a question.. why is /dev smaller than / or any other folder?? [21:18] @spirit3 i need sudo because the rights [21:18] antonio_: 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 behaviour [21:18] can't you just run the script as root? [21:18] if i run it with out nothing will happen [21:18] Trimer__: To do what? What are you calling ifconfig to do? [21:18] yki: /dev is ... not real :) [21:18] warning: using '.....' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking blah blah blah [21:19] any ideas? [21:19] thank you.. [21:19] not real? [21:19] Trimer__: just pastebin your script please [21:19] yki: its a vfs [21:19] yki: it's a virtual filesystem that just contains links to devices (for example, a pointer to your disks, printers, etc) [21:19] Trimer__: Bodsda is right, we don't know what we are talking, it is all retorical at this point. [21:20] thank you very much [21:20] *rhetorical* [21:20] Trimer__: but also, ifconfig should return everything you need (at least under ubuntu) without sudo [21:20] it's like the arp is going stale very quickly though. [21:20] have you checked the arp tables? [21:21] I got an idea. Thanks man. [21:21] there's the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/1135002/ [21:21] I would be using atleast 2-3 vlans if I was you [21:22] dudewhat: networking should work without vlans though?! [21:23] Trimer__: Which line is it causing problems? [21:23] with 6 hosts [21:23] sudo /sbin/ifconfig should only show the network config [21:23] line 12 [21:23] dudewhat: Wasting 3 VLANs for 6 vms - is suboptimal. [21:23] Trimer__: works fine for me, shows standard ifconfig output [21:23] well when you have a cisco switch.. [21:24] 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 sudoers [21:24] Trimer__: Is line 1 correctly pasted? '#! /bin/sh' there should be no space between '!' and '/'. [21:24] dudewhat: Even a cisco router wont turn that pointless idea into something good :) [21:24] Trimer__: it also works without sudo in there for me [21:24] elgaton, 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] Trimer__: However, our point is valid; you could not use sudo and it would still return the same info [21:24] why wouldn't you want less broadcast domains? [21:25] Trimer__: The problem may then move to the next sudo ... if our guess about password is correct [21:25] spirit3_ just run the script as root [21:25] spirit3_: the script works fine [21:25] Trimer__: Sorry, I missed the first sudos ... ignore me ... [21:26] jakub: Just out of curiosity, does it work with another browser, like Firefox or rekonq? [21:26] hey you all [21:26] if i run the script, it shows me no network devices [21:26] jakub jdk and jde are different [21:26] Walther: Trimer__ make the script executable, change line 1 as suggested and remove the sudo in the script. Run the script with sudo ./script. [21:26] er jre [21:26] Hi [21:27] dudewhat: 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] dudewhat: Thats pointless. [21:27] Trimer__: 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] Walther: Sorry, I expanded the wrong nick. :-( [21:27] if i run sudo /sbin/ifconfig 2 times it shows the network devices [21:27] wlodpolm2, what you mean? [21:27] Trimer__: can you show us the terminal output for that... from nothing through both runs to a blank prompt [21:28] jdk is the dev tools the runtime environment is different download i thought [21:29] wlodpolm2, jakub: jakub just wants to install the plugin (it requires only the JRE, that is, the set of files required to run a Java application or applet). He doesn't need to install the JDK (developer tools). [21:29] only loopback appears [21:29] lo Link encap:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6-Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metrik:1 RX packets:4946 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4946 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX-Bytes:554408 (554.4 KB) TX-Bytes:55440 [21:29] elgaton, i'll try with another browser now and i'll let you know [21:29] jakub: OK [21:29] run ifconfig -a [21:29] Trimer__: pastebin dude... and we need everything, a complete copy and paste of your terminal session [21:31] @dudewhat if i run ifconfig -a alle network devices appears, but ifconfig work not in the script [21:32] warning: using 'xyz' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking" [21:32] how to fix this? [21:33] Agamemnus: By not linking statically. [21:34] well, i need to link statically. [21:34] do /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a [21:34] What was that program that simulated that universe name was? [21:34] Agamemnus: Then you have to live with that warning. [21:35] K [21:36] @dudewhat if i run with "sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a" it works thanks [21:37] Trimer__: Weird :s [21:37] Trimer__: You dont need the sudo. All you need is the full path to ifconfig [21:37] np [21:37] Trimer__: seriously, drop the sudo [21:37] but if i run it with "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" it doesn't work at first time [21:37] Trimer__: Not the difference between ifconfig and ifconfig -a [21:38] *Note [21:38] i know but without -a it will not work [21:38] Then drop that sudo and use /sbin/ifconfig -a [21:39] Trimer__: using -a is fine, but the sudo is unneeded [21:39] how do i burn an iso in ubuntu [21:39] harris: with brasero [21:39] Does anyone here know how to change the resolution to three monitors 3072*1280 via cli? xrandr said it couldn't get the screen. I also noticed there is no xorg.conf [21:39] is that preinstalled [21:39] harris: yep [21:39] thanks [21:40] i need to make an ubuntu disk [21:40] shazbotmcnasty: creating an xorg.conf will still work though, but my suggestion would have been xrandr [21:40] @Bodsda i will using it with -a and don't run it with sudo thanks [21:40] shazbotmcnasty, you can try and force a modeline with xrandr [21:40] Trimer__: cool :) [21:40] elgaton, with firefox java works fine... [21:40] Could I get the full syntax? [21:40] I think I might just be doing it wrong.. [21:40] I read dah man pages...

[21:44] Hi all, has anyone ever had any problems with installing kernel modules while running ubuntu as a xen guest? they appear to be installing to /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 instead of /lib/modules/3.2.0-32-generic (ubuntu 12.04 server LTS) [21:44] yes, it is [21:44] elgaton, yes, it is [21:45] jakub: No idea then... sorry [21:45] elgaton, ok, thank you for your time, be [21:46] protoCall7: ? [21:46] iceroot, which part are you questioning? :) [21:46] protoCall7: you have to use modules which fits to your xen-kernel which is amd64 and you are using i386 [21:47] i need help with sudo umount /path/to/drive [21:47] sudo tune2fs -m 0 [21:47] iceroot: root@admin-svn-001:/lib/modules# uname -a [21:47] Linux admin-svn-001 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [21:47] protoCall7: ok [21:47] My god. [21:47] Does Space Engine run on ubuntu? [21:47] martinphone, ok. what part of that do you need help with [21:47] so I guess where I'm lost is on the interaction between xen and its guest [21:48] can anyone tell me how to open files with root access? [21:48] GreekDollmaker what's space engine? [21:48] I have now 3 HDD connected via usb, but im afraid if I execute sudo tune2fs -m 0 (I have unmounted the new HDD) it may do something to the other HDD, given that in this second command there is nothing indicating the path to the HDD [21:48] seabeepirate: sudo nano path_to_file, if you mean "edit files as root" [21:48] thanks [21:49] martinphone, it needs to be tune2fs blah blah /dev/sdX# [21:49] MonkeyDust: Its a program that lets you simulate the universe. [21:49] All of it. [21:49] GreekDollmaker there's Stellarium [21:49] You can render every star in the sky, explore every planet in detail. === Tux is now known as StormTrooper [21:49] All the galaxies.

[21:50] gh0st`: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 [21:51] protoCall7: my "fix" was always to install the xen kernel meta-package on the guest, because of that the correct modules are always pulled too [21:51] gh0st`: install Apache, MySQL and ... errr ... P ... is that PHP? I forget. [21:51] Perl :) [21:51] spirit3_: php, python, perl [21:51] fantastic, thanks iceroot I'll give that a shot [21:52] martinphone, no. you unmount it, then tune2fs the umounted partition by device label [21:52] bekks: +1 :-P [21:52] php, thank you [21:52] bekks: -1 :) [21:52] bekks/bodsda thanks :) [21:52] Space engine can render supermassive black holes [21:52] iceroot: I could have said prolog ;) [21:52] GreekDollmaker ok, but tell it in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:53] Oh yes. [21:53] Sorry. [21:53] bekks: much better then this "write only" thing perl :) [21:53] iceroot: :D [21:53] [snake]: had a look at the code, I think you need to do a rewind(fptr) before printing into the file with fprintf [21:53] iceroot: you can write unreadable code in anything haha [21:53] martinphone, so run "mount" and figure out what the correct /dev entry is. then umount and run tune2fs on that [21:54] escott, oh, you mean sdc1 or sdc2, not "volume4" [21:54] protoCall7: but you can not write readable code with perl :) [21:54] martinphone, yep [21:54] Is it possible to install F.E.A.R combat on linux?

[21:56] nvm [21:56] bonny: read the appdb link [21:56] bonny: also you can try the program "playonlinux" [21:57] <[snake]> elgaton, what does rewind() do?

[22:00] id say check the mount man page also. I forget the syntax for the remount option [22:01] <[snake]> elgaton, now it's only posting the new data when I write stuff into it.

[22:02] <[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\nhello [22:03] <[snake]> elgaton, like append, but before [22:03] <[snake]> prepend isn't a word but I want to prepend stuff to a file [22:03] sed and awk are often used for 'alterning' text files..

Then it hang at detecting HDD's and then when installing the base system. === Qualia is now known as Qualia0 [22:27] So the installer actual started then Hung? thats after you got to the desktop? [22:27] Although, when it failed at installing the base system it didn't hang. It just reported it failed and ended the install. [22:28] sounds 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.

[22:30] Hey 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] Linix: #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 issues [22:30] Linix: 12.10 has a newer version of chromium then the ppa (unless they just updated it in the last week, *checks*) [22:30] lima: Solaris sucks in everyway compared to Linux, why would you even want it? [22:30] Linix, that PPA is out of date, chomium does not publish there anymore. [22:31] why is Solaris Sucks a valid answer? [22:31] generally ppl saying that aren't using it correctly or have no experience with it [22:31] SolarisBoy: i imagine you want Ubuntu last.. so you said windows first.. so that gives you the logical order. :) [22:31] Linix: i need to learn it... [22:31] OerHeks: Do you know what the official one is? [22:31] Linux, yes, softwarecentre. [22:31] Dr_Willis: thanks [22:32] OerHeks: But I wanted to get the dev versions of it. [22:32] lima: assuming grub2 can boot solaris.. ive no idea what bootloader it uses.. [22:32] lima: mey be easier to just play with solaris in virtualbox [22:32] it uses a modified grub i guess [22:32] I need help my menus got changed to chine's/ Japanese . I want to change it back to English. [22:32] lima: ok [22:33] Dr_Willis: nah.. its too slow [22:33] I have a v100 im selling with sol10 on it [22:34] i was going to throw it away soon actually [22:34] Not sure whats to learn about solarix actally. :) last iplay with it.. most of my leet-linux-skills transfered over. ;P [22:35] Dr_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 system [22:35] SolarisBoy: But, startup/shutdown with milestones etc is ... bizarre [22:36] I used SUN work stations years and yeas back also.. and some BSD.. and Minux.,., it pays to be flexiable i guess.

For my XChat installation it is ~/.xchat2 [23:23] I recently upgraded to 12.04, and then today I added in a newer diamond steal 3d 2000 pro video card...when i open 'display' I see a 'laptop' with 800x600 resolution (this is a desktop machine) [23:23] Sweet! [23:23] irreverant, configuration files are in ~/..

Also, xorg.conf is not mandatory and the X server should do perfectly without. Use xorg.conf if something isn't right. Do not use xorg.conf from other systems as they may have different hardware. Use diff to compare. [23:28] W4sp: I understand the hardware may be different. That's why I included the note "reconfigured my xorg.conf ...
