[00:01] bonez2046, http://myit-solutions.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-add-and-set-custom-display.html [00:02] ok, thanks [00:04] useradd doesn't create a home directory? [00:05] nasa01: syslog is already there. Sorry. You can find syslog* in /var/log. Search for the first occurence of the error and scroll up to see if there is anything suspicious. As said, it may be a dbus error and that would mean I cannot assist further as it is not in my league. [00:05] tworkin1: not unless you tell it to create one. i'd suggest adduser though... [00:05] tworkin1, if you used the -D option it should create a home [00:06] nasa01: Do you have sound and all that jazz working? [00:06] W4sp, I will at syslog again -- but I do believe that is the 1st sign of an error. [00:06] W4sp, Yes - but only after the system is fully booted up and I have started a sound app (such as pavucontrol) [00:07] anything else useradd woul dhave missed? [00:08] nasa01: I see. When Ubuntu comes up and shows you the Light DM it plays normally a sound. Do I understand from your description that this is not the case? Instead, you need to login and start a sound application. [00:09] Yes [00:10] nasa01: There's light at the end of the tunnel.

[00:14] xangua: ive gotten several cheap dongles over the last 2 years.. rarely had issues [00:14] brb [00:14] of course some times bluetooth is just a pain to get going. :) but its not the dongles fault [00:15] bluetooth is the sort of thing they really should have put in every desktop/laptop by default.. now a days. im seeing bluetooth removed from printers and other gizmos because wifi is becommng so commonplace. [00:15] hi [00:15] I have a problem with my server [00:15] please help me [00:16] You have to state the actual problem first.. raptornv [00:16] not run multimedia server [00:16] Dr_Willis: it was a pain in the ass to get the printer to use my wifi with ubuntu, i had to use the windows machine and the windows driver to do it [00:17] xangua: my brother wifi, i just.. well went to the printers ip# with a browser. :) [00:18] bigger issue was decideing which of the services the printer offered to use in Ubuntu. ipp: samba, and others id never seen befor. ;P [00:18] I couln't get the ip, felt frustrated and simply turned on windows XD [00:18] raptornv: More details will help us help you... so far you got some sort of 'server' that cant run some sort of 'multimedia' [00:19] xangua: hmm.. printers 'test' page showed them here. [00:19] His waitress won't bring him a DVD, [00:19] I use tomp [00:19] grandson is always pushing the printers test/power button he finds it funny when it spits paper out. :P 4 yr olds...

[00:21] thanyou [00:21] very much === SolarisBoy1 is now known as SolarisBoy === ghostchick is now known as skiptheuse [00:24] Hi, I re installed ubuntu 12.04 because I upgraded my motherboard, processor and video card. However my /home is on another partition so I got to keep that. However, now when I log in to my old user account I get 1440x900 instead of 1650x1080. Once I am logged in I can change it to that but it resets everytime. I created a new account and tested it, no problem it went right to the correct resolution. Any idea what file is causing this i [00:24] ssue? [00:26] theres a user setting to select the res. tried the monitors tool? It could be the setting file for that setting is owed by root or somthing so you cant change it. [00:26] or is it called 'Displays' now. [00:26] That is called displays now. [00:27] called Displays i think in settings [00:27] always annoying when they change the names of things. ;) [00:27] ++ [00:27] and use more generic/vague terms that may not translate well.. [00:27] I have tried all sorts of things. I just found .compiz and .compiz-1 directories so I deleted them and will try that [00:27] Can i have 3 ip's pointed to the same host in resolv.conf and will it load balance like a dns server would ? [00:27] Dr_Willis: thats hitting the nail on the head =) [00:27] compiz does not set your res.. now stuff in .config/* might [00:27] (like using a dns server) [00:27] monkers: afaik no [00:28] you mean in /etc/hosts no?

[00:31] benassi_, dont paste that here [00:31] If you dont specifically uise the displays tool.. it should use the system default. so finding the config file and removeing it should tell it to use the defaults [00:31] bazhang sorry my bad [00:31] test2: possible location .config/dconf [00:32] There is something in .config that is causing a prob for sure I moved that dir and it works, now i just have to narrow it down [00:32] test2: ~/.config/monitors.xml [00:32] msg lis help list [00:33] dident even see that xml file. ;P [00:33] !alis > jazzkovsky [00:33] jazzkovsky, please see my private message [00:33] trism, there is def a reference to 1440x900 in that xml file. Idk why a grep never turned it up when I search for 1440 [00:33] Dr_Willis, i want to select the conditions for text to find and the program should create the regular expression not that i have to hard code the regular expression and test it. I just want to select the logic and text and the program should create the regular expression' [00:34] they have regex generators online afaik [00:34] arunkumar413: good luck.

One of which isn't so simple [00:35] no - I got called away... What do you suggest I try? [00:36] arunkumar413: http://txt2re.com/ [00:36] ty SolarisBoy, no round robin in the hosts file. [00:36] delinquentme: :) one of the first things i learned to do with regular explressions was convert an old 'dice rolling' script from REXX. :) took several dozen+ lines into 1 regexp. [00:36] yea - no way [00:37] i generally just use re to pull some interesting data out of other data generally from output of some command or query - in many applications its awesome though - like input validation with web apps [00:37] Dr_Willis, at the cost of others understanding your jibberish <3 [00:37] delinquentme: i used the comment feature. ;P [00:38] nasa01: I have not much to offer. I cannot simulate the issue. There are reported faults surrounding dbus and audio. That would match with our initial diagnosis. However, there are accepted bugs in upstream of dbus. [00:38] old silly 'test' we would run on all the new pcs, roll a few thousand random 'dice' and see how fast they were.. then plot out the distribution.

[00:52] Asad2005: ZFS is default for FreeBSD, #freebsd. It's also Sun's fs. There is no ZFS Ubuntu channel.

It's just a static.. [01:15] tnk1: Check with mount what's actually mounted. Nautilus may be a display issue that will disappear after reboot.

[01:22] should it take this long? [01:22] it seems to be hanging, I'm guessing [01:22] i can open another terminal and run some commands there to check [01:23] tnk1: Did you kill nautilus adn then started it again with -c? [01:24] tnk1: I mean, did you start N. from the terminal with the parameter? [01:24] W4sp: yeah [01:24] it's still checking.. not finishing.. [01:24] i'm assuming it's hung on something [01:24] tnk1: OK, Cool then. [01:24] i control c'd it [01:25] W4sp: it was definitely hanging on something.. probably the sr0 error we are trying tos olve [01:25] W4sp: I ran nautilus again without -c and the same phantom volume shows up in devices [01:26] tnk1: I think so too. It's a good thing as it is an issue with nautilus, not with the fstabs [01:26] brb [01:27] any idea how to solve? [01:28] Can someone help me out with wubi?

[02:29] a terminal [02:29] like dos for window [02:29] windows [02:29] but, much better! [02:30] servvs, can game runs on that properly? [02:30] i mean it sais here that in order to make the script executable i have to open the shell command prompt [02:30] so i should open the terminal? [02:30] it depends on which game rahul_ , and some of the require some configuring [02:30] rahul_, as far as I know, cygwin is a unix environment for MS Windows, not an MS Windows environment for Linux [02:30] just google the game name followed by wineHQ [02:31] and you will be presented with results of other people success or failure [02:32] is this the main channel about ubuntu ? [02:32] !ati [02:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [02:32] ok, thanks. [02:32] "Make sure that X is running" what does that mean? [02:33] what's problem with ati? [02:33] Sakorty, right click on the file, >properties> go to the permissions tab and check the executable checkbox [02:33] x is basically your display driver [02:34] I have not ever use the irc chat [02:34] I believe this is the main channel for ubuntu sandro_ [02:34] nejode: now it says open a command prompt under X [02:36] Sakorty, if you're not comfortable with the command prompt, you can change permissions graphically [02:36] someone speak italian ? [02:37] sandro_, #ubuntu-it [02:37] nejode: well i am trying to learn this stuff because i am getting a new laptop in a while, so i guess the more i use the commands now the easier it will be to set all this up on the new laptop [02:37] yes but no talks... [02:38] What's the name of the meta-package to install the 12.04 gnome desktop with Unity? Is it gnome-desktop-environment? [02:38] '~$ LANG=C man console-setup; No manual entry for console-setup' What is the associated command for console-setup? [02:38] nejode: how do i cd to the file? [02:38] for some reason i can't boot solaris haha [02:39] i installed windows first, solaris, then ubuntu 12.04 [02:39] type cd /directory/path/to/file [02:39] lima, Is you question Ubuntu-related? [02:39] lima, Is your question Ubuntu-related? [02:39] I think its grub related [02:39] can I ask ? [02:39] Sakorty, have you worked before with MS-DOS or the windows command prompt? [02:40] lima, what bootloader is being used? [02:40] nejode: no, thats my problem i guess :/ [02:40] ubuntu's grub.. grub2? [02:40] if i know the lodin accounts af a friend in facebook [02:40] !it | sandro [02:40] sandro: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [02:41] * HackerII reboot, brb [02:41] li non parla nessuno [02:41] Sakorty, then stick to the graphical part for a while... then you can get your feet wet with the terminal [02:41] what's nl80211 [02:41] i setup a dhcp reservation and said screw it static iping a box is harder than i thought [02:42] nejode: uhm the problem is there is no tutorial for another way to open the game, the only way i found was through wine since it is a windows game [02:42] luftikuss: setupcon [02:42] W4sp, Thank you for your help. [02:43] nejode: can you just give me an example for the cd [02:43] lima, did the grub install fail to find the solaris image, or is it that when you attempt to boot solaris from grub that it fails? [02:44] lima: First threre was grub, GRUB2 is from FSF. GRUB2 is now commonly called GRUB, yet it refers to GRUB2. [02:44] Sakorty, cd is the command for "change directory" [02:45] nejode: that i know but when i try it says no such file or directory [02:45] Sakorty, where is you're file? [02:46] solaris is located in /dev/sda3. this is what i have in my 40_custom: menuentry "solaris" { \ set root=(hd0,2) \ chainloader +1 } [02:46] disregard the \ [02:46] Shouldn't this be telling me what port nessus is listening on? What am I doing wrong? james ~ $ sudo netstat -a | grep nessus [02:46] tcp 0 0 *:nessus *:* LISTEN [02:46] and it simply boots windows [02:47] nejode: its supposed to be in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tibia [02:48] mbeierl: ubuntu failed to find solaris and add it to grub's entry [02:48] lima, http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ [02:49] lima, ok, and I see that you have the 40_custom, which is about the point where my knowledge would end, sorry. You appear to have already tried what I would suggest. [02:50] Sakorty, press CTRL+ALT+T [02:50] lima, what does the windows boot entry look like? does its (hd0,N) match its partition? [02:50] nejode: done [02:51] Sakorty, type: cd .wine [02:51] mbeierl: i dont know where to check the windows boot entry [02:51] Sakorty, + enter of course [02:51] lima, random thought - did you try hd0,3? [02:52] i did [02:52] it wouldnt boot into anything [02:52] nejode: oh i get it, thanks a lot [02:53] Sakorty, ok [02:54] mbeierl: :/ [02:54] MoTec: Can you find 'nessus' in /etc/services? [02:55] W4sp: I found it with sudo netstat -plnt | grep nessusd [02:55] It's listening on 1241 [02:56] i will try the program called grub-customizer.. maybe it will solve my problem [02:56] W4sp: And yeah, it's in /etc/services on port 1241 also [02:56] I just can't get the stupid client to connect, I guess. [02:56] hey guys [02:56] MoTec: Great. If you have a similar thing... :nessus points to the port as specified in that file. [02:56] I stop using the tool for like 4 years and they take away the client.. sucks, lol [02:57] i want to ask for operation linux [02:57] MoTec: You want to connect a clinet to port 1241 of the machine you ran the netstat? [02:57] W4sp: Yep [02:57] Hello all. I am hoping to get an issue resolved with installing the GRUB bootloader in the alternative CD. I want to install it to a partition [eg /dev/sda2] instead of the boot sector, but no version of Ubuntu succeeds when I try [either Ubuntu or Xubuntu, new or 10.04] [02:57] hem.. you must make os in usb or cd [02:58] what the function of ubuntu [02:58] lima, I'm out of my depth then. I don't know why grub would boot into Windows instead of Solaris. When is the last time you had Solaris booting? Is it possible that the Windows boot loader overwrote the Solaris one? [02:59] oohh i see. thanks [03:00] MoTec: You can check from the client with telnet if you get through. You're a network admin, aren't you? [03:00] oh yeah. why in the ubuntu not can plAY the game..? [03:00] W4sp: Yeah. It connects. It looks like it's a problem with the client [03:01] i want to get a newer version of a package that is in quantal into my precise install, what's the best way to do this? [03:01] MoTec: That would be 'telnet 1241 [03:01] if anything, the solaris bootloader overwrote the solaris one [03:01] i will keep trying [03:01] thanks mbeierl [03:01] lima, solaris overwrote solaris? [03:01] windows [03:01] MoTec: Glad to hear. [03:02] lima, ok, solaris overwrote the windows one is what you were saying then? [03:02] mbeierl: yes [03:02] lima, but then ... just throwing ideas out ... once Solaris was installed, were you able to boot Windows still? [03:02] How would I enable vim syntax highlighting on a default install of ubuntu 12.04? [03:02] Amtrask, can you be more specific [03:02] W4sp: Ah, or likely I'm maxing out the memory on my limited little VPS. [03:03] MoTec: to isolate the isseu you would need log files from the client perhaps. [03:03] mikehaas763, have you insalled vim instead of the default vim-tiny? [03:03] nejode when the installer gets to the part where it installs GRUB and bootloader, it asks if I want to install to the bootsector. I select no and specify the partition I want it on, at which point it fails. This has happened on two different computers too, I'm certain it's a problem in the installer itself [03:04] mbeierl, I installed vim-runtime [03:04] but still no highlighting [03:04] W4sp: No, I can see I'm exceeding memory. I just need a bigger box. [03:04] mikehaas763, try installing vim itself. [03:05] MoTec: The smiling rackspace provider. ;-) [03:06] mbeierl, thanks that did the trick [03:06] Amtrask, do you have another bootloader installed on the MBR? [03:06] mikehaas763, it's one of the first things I do in a new install :) [03:06] Oh, ouch.. Yeah. Nessusd was using 220mb.. I only have 256mb on this VPS [03:07] Guess it's time to upgrade. [03:08] MoTec: Yeah, that's a lot. Good luck with it. [03:08] W4sp: Thanks. That's what I get for being cheap and going with a tiny little VPS.. It's fine for IRC and such but nessusd slammed it. [03:08] nejode yes, one for Truecrypt for an encrypted install of Windows. I don't know how to configure chainloading so I'd prefer to keep it in-place [03:09] nejode normally I'd just install the GRUB loader on the partition, so I could escape out of the Truecrypt one and boot Linux === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:10] Amtrask, have you tried doing it manually? [03:11] nejode manually installing the booloader? I wouldn't know how [03:12] Is there a terminal command to write a ISO image to a USB drive? [03:13] !info dd [03:13] Amtrask, booting into you're ubuntu instalation and running grub-install /dev/sda2 [03:13] Package dd does not exist in precise [03:13] OerHeks: It should be installed by default. [03:14] howdy [03:14] how do I create a partition from sector 1 to 254 when fdisk only let`s me create from 2048 on? [03:16] mint11111, it does that to align the partition correctly, and if its not done that way for some drives, it kills performance reading/writing [03:16] best to leave it alone [03:16] compdoc: is there a way to override it? [03:17] compdoc: only with parted? [03:17] well, its built into gparted, and I think parted now === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [03:18] Amtrask, try this out: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ [03:19] Amtrask, or this: http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ [03:19] answered my own question: looks like i just simply add quantal to the sources file, edit /etc/apt/preferences and pin it at a low priority so precise packages are still the default, then if i want a newer package i do apt-get install foo/quantal [03:19] compdoc: ok, thanks === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [03:22] nejode I will try those, thanks [03:22] Anyone here using 12.10 daily without problems? [03:23] !12.10 | cyphin [03:23] cyphin: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm === guest-36H0kd is now known as SnapSnap [03:25] Hey I was wondering if there is a way to have ubuntu recognize NTFS drives? [03:25] Is there a terminal command to write a ISO image to a USB drive? [03:25] g0ku: what do you mean? Ubuntu sees my windows drive without problem. Are you talking read/write/save? [03:26] SnapSnap: DD [03:26] SnapSnap: *dd* [03:26] My drive is also encrypted through bitlocker, its not showing up o_o [03:26] g0ku: yeah, little details like that ...not sure you can make bitlocker/ubuntu/windows live in peace [03:27] I tried that. Here's my situation: when I started my computer today, it froze as soon as I log in. I can only log in using the guest account. All of my stuff is in the cloud so I'm just going to create a new start-up disk. However, I can't use sudo, and unetbootin won't ask for authentication. I tried "dd" but needed to be root. [03:28] SnapSnap: are you dual booting or multi-HDD or something === root is now known as Guest3914 [03:30] The only thing I can think is, I downloaded VirtualBox and tried to install Ubuntu to a virtual machine. I left it to work and when I came back the screen was black- presumably locked- but when I tried to wake it up it wouldn't respond. After several minutes I did a hard shutdown. That's when the problem started. [03:31] SnapSnap: windows host? [03:31] SnapSnap: windows host, ubuntu guest for virtualbox? [03:31] cfhowlett: Nope, Ubuntu host. Ubuntu guest [03:32] SnapSnap: shouldn't effect your booting in [03:32] That's what I thought- but it's the only thing I've changed. [03:32] Hi. When I try to change my screen brightness using the keyboard shortcut, it doesn't work. But if I switch to a different console (e.g Ctrl+Alt+F2), then the keyboard shortcut works, and the change remains when I switch back (Ctrl+Alt+F7). Can anyone explain why this might be occurring? [03:33] SnapSnap: suggest you reinstall grub. assuming no other changes, your root system and data should be present and safe. perhaps the bootloader scrambled somehow? [03:33] I'm trying to establish a communication between Pidgin running in Ubuntu, but I can't discover the other user on my LAN, I have opened ports and everything but nothing works, what am I doing wrong? [03:34] cfhowlett: The computer seems fine up until the login screen. I can even get into the account, but it locks completely up as soon as the desktop loads- so I think the problem is with Ubuntu rather than the bootloader. Does that make sense? [03:35] SnapSnap: you explained it quite well, and you're right. forget my suggestion, it's not the bootloader. [03:35] I have a quick question what dose the c do for cvlc? I just know I use this to run my vlc stuff with it. [03:36] SnapSnap: hey do you have an admin user account for managing your system and a normal user account for everyday use? [03:36] cfhowlett: No. My everyday account is an admin. [03:37] cfhowlett: It's the default setting and I never changed it [03:37] SnapSnap: oh. ok. *ahem* [03:37] test [03:37] SnapSnap: any other users touch your system? [03:37] is therey any reason why some irc channels will not let me post? [03:37] searayman: you've been banned? [03:37] searayman: is your nick registered? [03:38] cfhowlett: Yeah... that's what I was worried about. No one else touched it. [03:38] ultrixx, i dont think so may have tried once. I am trying to get into #sql but it wont let me post and i just have a few quick simple sql questions [03:38] SnapSnap: ok, I don't know what's going on there, but you should at least be able to boot to the command line ... [03:38] ultrixx, no of any other channel that is appropriate to ask for sql help in? [03:38] searayman: Some channels have their own rules. For example, some require you to register your nickname with NickServ before you can post. [03:38] searayman: just register. [03:39] searayman: no big deal, really [03:39] ultrixx, how do i register [03:39] just type /msg nickserv help [03:39] hi everybody, I'd like to know if is possible install an emulator of Play Station on my ubuntu distro 10.04 LTS 64 bits? [03:40] cfhowlett: I tried sudo dd. This is what I got- "unable to change to sudoers gid: Operation not permitted sudo: setresuid() [0, 0, 0] -> [116, -1, -1]: Operation not permitted" [03:41] SnapSnap: version of ubuntu? [03:41] cfhowlett: 12.04 [03:41] SnapSnap: and it was working fine, right? recent updates maybe? kernel update or something [03:41] ready, drp [03:43] cfhowlett: Oh! That reminds me. A few days ago my update manager told me it could only do a partial upgrade; didn't specify exactly why. It's been working just fine up until a few hours ago. I've rebooted it multiple times since I updated last. [03:43] I want to play Play Station's games on my ubuntu distro. How could I do this? I tried to do it for long time... [03:44] ivan_: This is relevant to my interests. [03:44] SnapSnap: yeah, THAT'S suspicious. Partial/interrupted upgrades are cause for concern. I think your best bet is reinstall. Don't format your /home and your data should be retained... [03:46] cfhowlett: That's the thing. I can't reinstall because I can't create a startup disk on this computer, because I can't use sudo. I could use a different computer but this is good for learning how Ubuntu works. [03:46] SnapSnap: Do you want play also? [03:46] ivan_: Yes, but I have no idea how. [03:46] SnapSnap: bite the bullet you must. suggest you create a live boot USB for future use. [03:47] cfhowlett: I'll do just that. Thanks for your help. [03:47] ivan__: look in software center for playstation and install the emulator [03:47] SnapSnap: good luck. have fun [03:49] cfhowlett: I tried but unfortunately isn't work. [03:50] ivan__: sorry your options are limited ... [03:52] morning all [03:52] hirsty_: greetings [03:52] cfhowlett: I feared... but always can I have nintendo games :) [03:52] ivan__: indeed. [03:52] ie the ubuntu + windows 7 issue :( [03:52] ive* [03:52] hirsty_: greetings [03:52] hirsty_: details ... [03:53] lol sorry installed ubuntu now my windows 7 installation refuses to load just blinks at me [03:53] hirsty_: installed windows first then installed ubuntu? Dual boot NOT wubi? [03:54] windows then ubuntu - dual booot [03:55] hirsty_: and windows appears in the grub menu, right? [03:56] well did until i tried reinstating the mbr with the WinRE [03:56] hirsty_: ... [03:56] :( [03:56] hirsty_: why would you need to reinstate the mbr ... [03:56] <_skpl> that was a mistake. [03:57] just doing a BootRepair on the MBR now will provide you with a link [03:57] what....windows is my main partition.....i installed ubuntu as a change of theme and hav ehad it lying around for a bit [03:58] sorry if i seem a tad snappy, 4am :D [03:58] why doesn't the ubuntu file chooser see jpg's spelled in upper case (JPG)? [03:58] hirsty_: don't know enough about winRE to comment, but normal dual boot requires only that win7 be installed BEFORE ubuntu. AFter that, absent weird configuration, ubuntu detects win7, configures grub and you're off to the races. [03:59] cfhowlett: would a bootinfo log help? [03:59] hirsty_, post the bootscript generated when using that bootrepair tool. [03:59] just creating a summary now [03:59] hirsty_: paste the bootlog. to fix? As I said, never used winRE. I'd suggest first boot your windows CDROM and running the repair function. Yes, this WILL wipe out ubuntu, but then you live boot ubuntu cdrom and reinstall grub. Fixed. [03:59] called botinfo I belive [03:59] bootinfo* [04:00] Windows recovery environment :D the one off the windows cd >.> [04:00] hirsty_: ah. of course. OK. [04:01] blegh exited by accident....bare with me [04:01] Wow... KDE has changed some! [04:01] hirsty_: for the record, repairing windows only wipes out Ubuntu bootloading/grub. Data and systems are still in place. [04:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1135444/ [04:01] its like a fight between the two loaders lol [04:02] why doesnt the file chooser see files with uppercase extensions? e.g. myPic.JPG doesnt show up but myPic.jpg does [04:03] Linux is case-sensitive, maybe? [04:03] hirsty_: indeed it is. [04:03] how do i fix that shortcoming? [04:03] Change the extensions to be in the proper case? [04:03] phonebook_: rename your files. live with it. === administrator is now known as Guest74245 [04:04] :| [04:04] I have to say I didn't enjoy kde as much as I used to! === ibobak is now known as machicola [04:04] KDE's too... bloated for me. [04:04] Can anyone tell me what metacity ui is? [04:04] even when i had grub installed on selecting windows it would still just blink at me lol [04:04] Well, metacity is a compositor, I believe. [04:05] The UI might be the GUI settings editor? [04:05] I dunno, I use compiz. [04:05] Is it like window maker or sawfish? [04:05] Don't recognize those names... [04:05] It controls window placement and things like that. [04:06] I used to use those when I used Mandrake before it became Mandriva [04:06] any suggestions? [04:06] hirsty_: Fix the windows boot first, then restore your ubuntu stuff. I had WinRE but couldn't get any use from it. The utilities on the win7 disk finally fixed my triple boot. [04:06] How can I uninstall KDE? it's actually made my system unstable and I don't really feel like losing this vMachine. [04:06] No, sorry hirsty_ , I've never had issues with GRUB [04:06] Irreverant: Sudo apt-get autoclean kubuntu, or something similar? [04:06] hirsty_: worst case; reinstall windows. don't touch the ubuntu partition. after windows is back, reinstall grub to pick up windows. === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding [04:07] What's the command to remove dependencies and the program? [04:07] !man autoclean [04:07] oops [04:07] isn't the manual command man? [04:07] Oops, it's kubuntu-desktop [04:07] Yes. [04:07] Autoclean is a subcommand for apt-get, though, so not sure how man works for it. [04:07] hirsty_, the Linux partition is not mounting in the script, and has this notation "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" If you can't get an answer here start a thread at the ubuntu forums and post that script or one after trying any fixes, the script you posted is missing a whole lot without the linux mount. [04:08] hello [04:08] brb [04:08] gonna check out if the envi.... was wipred. [04:09] Guest74245: greetings [04:09] ubottu is a bot isn't it? [04:09] irreverant: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:09] I feel so stupid! [04:09] stupid phone lol [04:09] so what am i to do remove the ubuntu partition and get my windows working first or? [04:09] hirsty what windows problems you having? [04:10] I'm porting over from windows environment; if it's windows I can help you. [04:10] unable to boot into it [04:10] as long as it's to get back your ubuntu on your computer. [04:10] hirsty: try win re-install without messing with the ubuntu partition. [04:10] Irreverant: If you don't have a DE picked out, I recommend XFCE. [04:10] first you need to make sure you have ntldr runninig [04:10] What's XFCE? [04:10] blegh thatll be a ball ache ill do it after work [04:11] A desktop environment, like KDE. [04:11] hirsty, it does not look from the script that even if you just slipped grub back in the mbr that it would even boot, the W7 partition has the correct files to boot, did you resize it with the ubuntu install when installing [04:11] But lighter-weight, and in my opinion better-looking. [04:11] After a bit of customization. [04:11] yes# [04:11] hirsty can you boot into ubuntu? and what error message are you getting when your booting into windoze! [04:12] hirsty, with grub ubuntu does not look bootable is my point from the script at this point it will not mount. [04:12] no if he messed with ntldr or any of the boot loader files his windows is going to take some doing to repair. [04:12] hey [04:12] i have a problem with asunder [04:12] irreverant, there is no ntldr it is W7 [04:13] Oh! [04:13] will probs because ive been trying to get the mbr to recognize and boot my windows installation [04:13] have you tried using fdsk? [04:13] the cdrom directory is /cdrom, but it dont recognise the cds [04:13] hirsty, you have nore problems then just that with a look at the script to be honest. [04:13] i dont get any error messages just a cursor blinking at me [04:14] probs just royally screwed it up lol === NotKruz is now known as VunKruz [04:14] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315261 [04:14] hirsty, If it were me I would stop where you're at and post a thread at the ubuntu forums showing that script. [04:15] Or you can do a parallel install for your windows installation and attempt to recover from there. [04:15] lol how long for a reply you reckon? [04:16] and where abouts? [04:16] hirsty, during the day US pretty fast I used to work in this area there with a few others, they are on every day. [04:16] Sorry just tired, fed up and in a "Just want it to work" mood atm [04:16] hirsty have you tried using fdsk? [04:17] hirsty, did you backup=clone any of the OS's [04:18] Or just backup the crucial info? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:21] hirsty, if you have the W7 install disc I can give you the commands to reload its bootloader to the mbr to see if it will boot straight in. [04:21] and rebuild the bcd [04:21] how much swap space does a file server really need? I have a 30gig SSD bootdisk and 8gigs of ram. Do I really need 16gigs of ram? The file server part of the machine is 18 terabytes mounted as ZFS [04:21] -sigh- [04:22] sorry tethering thru my phone [04:22] * hirsty kicks JuiceDefender [04:23] if u said anything after i told u about my external i did not see it [04:24] root [04:25] hi alll [04:25] i need a small help [04:25] root: greetings. details. === root is now known as Guest62377 [04:25] i'm new to backtrack 5 can anyone plz tell me how to intsall any software which i'd downloaded ion my hard disk [04:25] hirsty, if you have the W7 install disc I can give you the commands to rebuild the bcd and reload its bootloader to the mbr to see if it will boot straight in. [04:25] !bt|guest62377 [04:26] !backtrack|Guest62377: [04:26] Guest62377:: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [04:26] bootrec /fixmbr /rebuildbcd [04:26] also tried replacing the whole BCD [04:27] as well as just ran it throught a chkdisk /f last night [04:27] chkdsk* [04:28] hirsty, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1135468/ [04:30] i already tried fixing the mbr once u want me do it again? [04:30] well more than once actually but meh [04:30] !who [04:30] 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 :) [04:30] hirsty, did you resize W7 with the ubuntu install? [04:30] Yes [04:31] hirsty, that has been known to brick a MS OS, W7 has its own virtual partitioner, always use that to resize. [04:31] Yeah [04:31] That was a great size. Next time use the disk manager within windows [04:31] To reduce the partition size. [04:32] how can i get full disk encryption? [04:32] hirsty, I would boot a Ubuntu live cd and see if Ubuntu will even mount, and if you have anything in windows, you can get it out from there. [04:32] home directory isn't gonna cut it [04:32] on my live cd atm :) [04:33] kinda corrupted my ubuntu or so it says but meh :P [04:33] phantomcircuit: see http://www.google.com.hk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=encrypt+full+disk+ubuntu+12.04&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CGQQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rationallyparanoid.com%2Farticles%2Fubuntu-12-lts-security.html&ei=AOwhUOzYAoSmrQGgmoGgCA&usg=AFQjCNF0TSFwvztN5zDoftBntS55m5lzCQ [04:33] phantomcircuit: oops [04:33] hirsty: you can do a parallel installation of windows and just rename your old installation to windowsbak [04:33] phantomcircuit: see http://www.rationallyparanoid.com/articles/ubuntu-12-lts-security.html [04:34] oh the alternative install [04:34] but would then need to reinstall all my programs? [04:34] Yes. [04:34] hirsty: Yes but you wouldn't have that much data loss. [04:34] hey how can i track what order things load up in ubuntu? [04:35] like i have programs that are *supposed* to run at startup but then get negated by something else. For example a program that adjusts my backgrounds for me [04:35] hirsty: You'd have to change the boot.ini to reflect the new arc path. [04:35] hirsty, you might try the ##windows channel to get the windows fixed, I think the Ubuntu is bricked as well to be honest [04:35] hmmm 279GB used gunna take a while but i guess its my best bet [04:35] I'm having trouble uninstalling VirtualBox from 12.04 [04:36] SnapSnap: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox will do it... [04:36] Anyone have any experience writing udev rules that could perhaps help me with some trouble I'm having? [04:37] Oh, nvm, it's working now [04:37] how strange [04:37] velociostrich: linuxgremlins [04:37] Indeed. I tried restarting udev and plugging and unplugging the device, and all of the sudden, it begins working. [04:38] cfhowlett: Tried that. It said that virtualbox was not installed, therefore not removed. [04:38] hello bots [04:39] SnapSnap: apt-cache policy virtualbox [04:40] SnapSnap: did you install via download from oracle or through software center? [04:41] cfhowlett: via download. apt-cache says it's installed... [04:42] SnapSnap: I dl'd from the site and my cache shows not installed. Of course, the DL is a different version from the software center... still even dpkg -l shows nothing. weird. [04:42] Is there a way to pipe multiple files into one program without making a temp file? For example, I want to run X, giving it files Y and Z on stdin, like with cat Y | ./X [04:43] b2coutts: like ./X < Y ? [04:43] b2coutts: or you can do: ./X < `cat Y Z L` [04:46] saludos amigos ubunteros... [04:46] /quit [04:46] quisiera saber si alguien conoce como recuperar una configuracion anterior sobre todo del touchpad...estoy en ubuntu 11.10 [04:46] !sp|danielfcc [04:47] hi [04:47] !mx|danielfcc [04:47] hi [04:47] windows user just installed ubuntu have questions [04:47] johnwerneken: whats up [04:47] johnwerneken: ask [04:48] thanks. First the multiple boot OS selector is now ubuntu's not win8 any more; that's fine but can I set the default for that to win8? [04:48] johnwerneken, Best practice is to just ask if it is support related basically. ;) [04:48] (its one of the "sides" in DEV that the ubuntu multiboot manager displays) [04:49] how to set default for multi-os boot manager is first question [04:49] johnwerneken, you would have to use easybcd, W8 has a little different setup, but easybcd should work, I would just use grub though if me much easier to deal with. [04:50] johnwerneken: edit grub2 [04:50] !grub2|johnwerneken [04:50] johnwerneken: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:50] johnwerneken, you can edit grub or use the grub customizer, it has a gui. [04:51] !grub|johnwerneken [04:51] johnwerneken: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:51] I think with that url I canuse grub... [04:52] second question within ubuntu i see how to use all the things on the default desktop its easy but how do i get to command line> [04:53] is there a step by step tutorial for ubuntu? i beyond basic command line and basic gui stuff [04:53] terminal === bobbyd is now known as Guest96254 [04:53] windows key -> type terminal [04:53] phonebook_: yes. [04:53] phonebook_: what do you mean? you want to learn more about command line utilities/ [04:54] just in general. i have it installed, got three monitors up, even connnected to a vpn with some help [04:54] phonebook_: google "ubuntu guide" or "ubunt manual" [04:54] so i dont need super basics... but i want to learn more about ubuntu and dont know where to go [04:54] windows key > "terminal" for command line, OK (I'm in win8 now lol) [04:54] having trouble installing 12.04 on 3TB harddrive. at first, used Ubuntu on flashdrive and used its disk partitioned and got "error out of disk" and getting. Then, ran gparted in 11.10 from a 2TB harddrive and now failing in different way. Says "error: couldn't read file". ... Any tips on getting 12.04 on 3TB harddrive. [04:54] phonebook_: what kinds of things do you want to accomplish. [04:54] would man ubuntu, at the command line, bring up an over-all man page? [04:54] i want to have a general knowledge about ubuntu like i do with windows [04:55] for example [04:55] if i want to update java [04:55] the google for that yields a 20 step process! [04:55] phonebook_: so you just want to learn more about linux in general..not specifically ubuntu [04:55] phonebook: I can walk you through some of it. [04:56] phonebook_: it is an easy process. sudo apt-get upgrade sun-java7-openjdk (or whateer the package is called) [04:56] I have spare time and nothing to do. [04:56] halfalife: can't help you with that ... [04:56] Help me with what? [04:56] just some simple documention.... this is how you do this... oh, okay, this is how you do this, oh okay [04:56] i have to take an on-line midterm pdq so unlimited time i don't have lol [04:56] ill just look on ubunuts site [04:56] halfalife: spare time nothing to do [04:57] I was telling phonebook that I could just teach him what I know about linux. [04:57] I wasn't complaining about spare time. [04:57] halfalife: LOL. sorry my mistake. [04:57] halfalife: glad to hear that [04:57] thx halfalife [04:57] HOW do I log off, shutdown, or restart, from ubuntu? [04:58] sudo shutdown -r now to restart. [04:58] sudo shutdown -P to just turn off. [04:58] -P now* [04:58] sudo shutdown -P now ??? [04:58] Yes. [04:59] great! [04:59] i think i know most of what i need to use it and start learning [04:59] Anyways, phonebook, pm me and I can start explaining some stuff, at any rate. [04:59] Out of curiosity, how do you log off from command line? [05:00] Question the last: how do a run pico or nano AND can I at least temporarily set the default Ubutu text editor to one of those (pico or nano)?? [05:00] Just type nano (filename) to use it. [05:00] it is logging off from ubunu gui that i was asking about... [05:00] Oh, which Desktop Environment are you using? [05:01] at command line? [05:01] NOW win8 in linux boot Ubunu default whatever that is [05:01] ubuntu default my typing is worse than my spelling and it's poor [05:02] I read about secure boot [05:02] What is ubuntu doing on this regard [05:03] hi! ... i have changed the default zoom level and now i cant go back to the default or '66%' ... can any one help me here plz? [05:03] decci: google "ubuntu secure boot" see the top 3 hits [05:03] I note that I'm getting "partition is misaligned by 3072 bytes" when I look at my 3TB harddrive in Disk Utility. Why do I get this message when using gparted or 12.04 to partition my 3TB harddrive? [05:03] hello all. [05:04] Viking667: greetings [05:04] hey has anyone had experience with duplicate almost everything on the gnome GUI [05:04] I've had duplicating shortcuts up on a panel... [05:04] something like that [05:04] i.e. I drag a shortcut up from the menu, then when I next log in, there's two of them. [05:04] slapkex: what is this duplicate-everything supposed to do? copy files? [05:04] (gnome in classic mode) [05:05] cfhowlett: I have a plan of writing a blog on what open source OS doing in regards to Secure Boot [05:05] hahahah. [05:05] i have two menu's two of everything i open on the bottom taskbar [05:05] cfhowlett: Can you suggest? [05:05] THANK YOU guys for your lessons for this beginner; off to take midterm now, good night! [05:05] anyhow, I have a different ... issue. [05:05] If you need help in the future, feel free to ask here, or PM me. [05:06] I have two screens connected to my ATI HD3450. I'm using the fglrx driver on 11.10. [05:06] decci: search for "canonical secure boot" the top 3 - 5 hits. pretty sure there's a LONG white paper in there somewhere... [05:06] halfalife: Thank YOU! [05:06] bye [05:06] What I want to know is: how do I lock in screenmodes at a specific resolution? At the moment, both screens default to 60 Hz, and they're both CRTs. [05:07] is there a way i can find out if a given software is gtk3 or gtk2? I tried xprop but it didnt help.. [05:07] One screen is 17", and can do 85Hz. The other screen's a 15" and can sort of do 75, and definitely do 70Hz. [05:07] roadfish, its not copying files, i just have two of everything on my panels [05:07] in any case is synaptic package manager gtk3 or gtk2? [05:07] decci: link inside this article [05:07] http://blog.canonical.com/2012/06/22/an-update-on-ubuntu-and-secure-boot/ [05:07] check what ldd turns up on the respective binaries. [05:08] hm. maybe that won't work like I think it will. [05:08] hi! ... i have changed the default zoom level and now i cant go back to the default or '66%' ... can any one help me here plz? [05:08] Munz: what program? [05:09] Viking667 : the file manager [05:09] hm. Hold down Control key while scrolling the mousewheel? [05:09] That's a guess, not an answer. [05:10] Viking667 : lolz :) that wored .... thanks ... i feel sorry for myself now lolz :) bye [05:10] worked [05:10] heh. [05:10] * Viking667 shrugs [05:13] hey dudes [05:14] so i got xubuntu 12.04 installed [05:14] broadcom BCM4311 wifi card [05:14] Resinator: ... OK [05:14] every time i boot the wifi isnt working [05:14] Resinator: bcm4311 no work? [05:14] BUT, if i type sudo modprobe b43 [05:14] it suddenly works [05:14] but i have to do it every time i boot [05:16] http://faq.i3wm.org/question/29/how-do-you-make-i3-pick-up-resizing-the-vmware/ <-- this solution involves editing ~/.xsession but my ubuntu doesn't have one. does anybody know what the ubuntu equivalent would be to doing this? [05:16] Resinator: what's your hardware? [05:16] Hi All, I want a system call monitoring solution to be installed on Ubuntu 12.04. I found Systrace as a possible solution. But I got many errors while I am trying to compile Systrace source code. Please kindly suggest me an alternative solution or a method to successfully compile systrace. [05:16] this is to get resizing working with vmware workstation and i3 wm [05:16] System Info Distro: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz - Memory: 160/993M [||||||||||] - Storage: 14.07G Free: 8.18G - Uptime: 2 hrs 27 mins 6 secs - Load Average: 0.64 0.60 0.62 - Processes: 116 - Graphic: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [05:16] with BCM4311 wifi card [05:17] Resinator: so you have not installed the broadcom STA driver then. see: http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/ [05:17] the wifi is working fine [05:18] i just have to type 'sudo modprobe b43' every time i boot to get it to work [05:18] that ata driver package is in fact installed [05:18] err, sta [05:18] i.e. compare it to walking, vs running. [05:18] im using the wifi right now [05:18] you use way more energy running than walking. [05:19] whoops... [05:19] Resinator: try this. iirc this blacklists the b43 and ssb then resets; sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb && sudo modprobe b43 [05:20] sorry about that folks, wrong channel. [05:20] Resinator: or just run your modprobe and be glad you've got wifi at all :) [05:20] My ~/.ssh/.authorized_keys grew to 897Mb of junk data, any idea what could have caused this? [05:22] guess we'll see upon next reboot [05:22] :D [05:23] Resinator: good luck. fwiw, I installed STA no internet access and pulled the files directly from my liveboot media. worked like a charm. [05:23] Resinator: of course, YMMV ... [05:24] meh [05:24] if it doesnt work i'll just keep typing modprobe b43 [05:24] lol [05:25] is it possible to make a liveusb that automatically installs the BCM drivers? [05:25] Resinator: I supposed you could write a script that runs on autoboot... [05:25] Resinator: sure but it'll only work on certain machines... [05:26] gtg. later y'all. === manu is now known as Guest7031 [05:26] there used to be /etc/modules, a file that contained modules to modprobe on boot. Does that still exist? [05:26] Can anyone help me identify what's eating system resources? Looking at system monitor: Xorg has >650 MiB and spikes up to 72% CPU. [05:26] hmmm. What programs are running? [05:27] pstree will tell you what Xorg has as children. [05:27] (I think) [05:27] hm. Seems I'm wrong. [05:28] Do you have a web browser running? [05:28] or a 3d game? [05:28] Firefox. [05:28] No games. [05:28] Hm. What happens if you shut firefox down [05:28] Firefox has its own process. 1.1 GiB. (lolz) [05:30] Hey, does anyone wanna help me out with a gnome issue [05:30] What's the issue? [05:30] Any ideas, Viking667? [05:31] is there a way i can find out if a given software is gtk3 or gtk2? I tried xprop but it didnt help.. [05:31] check out this screen shot [05:31] http://www.flickr.com/photos/84502129@N04/7737938460/in/photostream/lightbox/ [05:31] As I said, what happens to Xorg's memory if you kill off firefox? [05:31] there is a double of everything in the top and bottom bars [05:31] hm. [05:31] so I'm not the only one to have noticed it. [05:32] Viking667, in my experience xorg doesn't leak memory [05:32] I'm not stating that. [05:33] Xorg now about half. [05:33] Because in the past, I've found xorg to do just that. [05:33] hm. so firefox may have affected it some. What are you using to find out how much memory each process takes? [05:33] it grows big, but if you kill the client that is being wasteful, it reclaims it all [05:33] Just System Monitor. [05:34] htop [05:34] htop [05:34] hm.... that's (System Monitor) something like a front end to top [05:34] ... or it does the same thing as top [05:34] but htop is a better top [05:34] and system monitor uses too much resource itsself to be useful [05:34] Hello all, Does anyone knows system call filtering solution for ubuntu? [05:35] mlkushan, its seccomp filter [05:35] and its mainstream [05:35] It's nothing like top. System Monitor = gnome-system-monitor [05:35] prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &prog); mlkushan [05:36] scientes: Yes I found seccomp as a solution. I need to sandbox solution using seccomp to prevent the execution of untrusted code. [05:36] any ideas to my question earlier? [05:37] sorry, I tend to see it as another hammer. [05:37] mlkushan, you can also just call prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT, 1); and that will work on any semi-modern kernel (2.6.30), however its quite restrictive [05:37] mlkushan, man 2 prctl, i've submitted some more documentation to update it with SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER [05:37] scientes: One implementation of that is seccomp-nurse. http://chdir.org/~nico/seccomp-nurse/ but its not a fully developed solution. [05:38] mlkushan, the seccomp developer makes libseccomp [05:38] that is in quantal, use that [05:38] how can I change the tab space in vim terminal? [05:39] :ts [05:39] ... I think. [05:39] hm. Nope. [05:40] mlkushan, Kees Cook, developer of seccomp filter mode [05:40] scientes: Sorry If I am asking silly questions. Is it possible to use libseccomp as a total sandboxing solution so that I can use to test untrusted codes. [05:40] maum: I'll have to look that up. I'm sure it's easy, I use it myself. [05:41] mlkushan, if you are executing untrusted codes you should use SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, which is really simple and highly portable [05:41] Viking667, thanks. ts command is working [05:41] i.e. works on old linux and all arches, unlike the filter mode **SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT [05:42] maum: ":set tabstop=4" is what I use. [05:43] xchat [05:44] Viking667: ok, thanks [05:44] Viking667: do you know the permanent way? [05:46] scientes: Thanks for the given intrusctions. I will first read more on seccomp to develop a solution for the execution of untrusted code. Thanks again and appreciate your support. [05:47] Viking667: I found the way. thanks [05:49] Ubuntu seems interested in adopting wayland. However, where does that place xorg given that it has massive harware support which will be virtually impossible to build for wayland given that how new it is? === gaoang_l is now known as g_l [05:50] X-tonic: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/551 [05:51] X-tonic: Also, the Ubuntu status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland [05:52] Hello, i'm new and ignorant. wondering if someone would be willing to help me [05:52] Sure.

[05:52] !justask | Brandt_ [05:52] Brandt_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[05:53] But if it's something in-depth, I probably won't know :/ [05:55] maum: I take it you found the .vimrc file... [05:57] Hi folks. I was thinking of installing the program Back in Time, and noticed the PPA didn't have a version for my distro (I'm on precise, their last release is oneiric). Will it harm my computer or cause problems to just use oneiric until they release a new repository? [05:57] Try installing; if it works, you're fine. If not, just clean up the failed install and wait XD [05:57] Can someone tell me how I might be able to fix my cups system? I think I broke it.. :p [05:58] I d/l the updated version in a tar ball and followed the install.txt.. However it now just says internal error when I go 127.0.01:631/admin [05:58] NetRunnerBlack: It is possible that the dependencies of the package on other libraries might not be satisfied on Precise - but it won't hurt to try it [05:58] iharp: try 127.0.0.1:631 [05:59] git clone does not work on my local mchine using https protocol [05:59] Error : git-remote-http: error while loading shared libraries: librtmp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:59] Any ideas?

Now in ubuntu's vision, compiz still exists and sits on top of wayland. So then how does this improve anything from X11, whose major flaw was a redundancy in compositor? [06:04] TJ-: git version 1.7.5.4 [06:04] TJ-: I am getting same error using http connection as well. [06:05] Erm.

[06:09] For some reason, IBUS+Anthy (japanese) decided to up and die on me. That's very annoying. Usually I'd hit my keyboard shortcut and typing "ka" would produce a hiragana character. Also. Anthy would have a bar floating on screen. Neither happens [06:09] TJ-: Something fishy is happening. [06:09] Reinstallation of librtmp0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [06:09] syst3mw0rm: Run "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and try again. [06:10] syst3mw0rm: OK: try this first: "sudo apt-get update" [06:10] syst3mw0rm: Also, which Ubuntu version are you at?

[06:16] please help [06:16] after apt-get update [06:18] syst3mw0rm: I *think* you may have at some point been tinkering with the software sources!? [06:18] TJ-: Yes. [06:18] I messed up badly last time... [06:18] syst3mw0rm: grrrr *spank* ! ... OK, can you copy /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin for me please?

[06:27] 64-bit (amd64) [06:29] cha1tanya: I'm wondering if we can force-remove the 32-bit package temporarily. "sudo dpkg -r libkrb5-3:i386" then "sudo apt-get -f install" then if that works, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" === Qualia0 is now known as Qualia === Qualia is now known as Qualia0 [06:30] TJ-, whenever i remove that 32 bit package and sudo apt-get install -f then it installs it again [06:31] Hi all [06:31] is there is way to force the interface size of an application in X? [06:31] cha1tanya: Ahh, good point. So we need to make sure the updated matching version of the 64-bit package is there first.... [06:32] cha1tanya: So, do the "dpkg -r" step and let me know if that is successful, then we can get the 64-bit package sorted out [06:32] TJ-, dkg -r is successfull [06:33] hey guys!! I just got Ubuntu! WAHOO!!!!!! [06:33] what a breathe of fresh air ^_^ [06:33] have root kits on system and need to purge them [06:34] canadiansissy: good for you mate :) [06:34] cha1tanya: OK ... the amd64 version of libkrb5-3 now... it's in the 'security pocket of the archive, so lets try "sudo apt-get install libkrb5-3:amd64=1.10+dfsg~beta1-2ubuntu0.3" [06:34] brandt4444 on a windows OS? have you tried GMER? [06:34] thanks Golfgeo :) [06:35] Congrats canadiansissy! [06:35] hello [06:35] syst3mw0rm: so, did the librtmp0 error get sorted? [06:35] Hi Indexphinger, how are you? [06:35] I'm having difficulty booting Ubuntu on my HP DV9000 [06:35] TJ-, but it doesnt install, it says you should ruby apt-get install -f first [06:36] Viking667: He had modified his sources.list ... I sent him a correct one for oneiric, he ought to be doing a dist-upgrade by now [06:36] no, i lost windows when i installed ubuntu, but didn't mind until being a new person, couldn't figure much out, but trying to learn [06:36] ahh, right. [06:36] cha1tanya: that's OK ... we can install it manually. I need for you to download the amd64 package directly from the archive... I'll give you the URL in a momemnt [06:37] Its the lastest amd64 release off the website. It goes to the menus then dumps me to a white screen [06:37] ok [06:37] but the DVD drive is still loading stuff it seems... [06:37] TJ-: I am unable to reinstall after apt-get update..I am in middle of something so can't do dist-upgrade at the moment.. [06:37] perhaps wait a little longer? [06:37] cha1tanya: On this page, lower-left corner, click on the "amd64" link to the download. This will end up fetching the .deb file you need manually, after which we can install it from the command line. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libkrb5-3 [06:37] I will come back if the problem still persists after dist-upgrade. [06:38] Hi, I just compiled inkscape , at run time it gives me GDK warning. Gdk-WARNING **: losing last reference to undestroyed window [06:38] syst3mw0rm: OK, let us know [06:38] brandt4444 it is tricky! I am just getting used to it myself [06:38] is this a gdk or inkscape bug? [06:39] TJ-, got the deb file [06:39] samkan: sounds like the application is freeing a reference before having destroyed it [06:39] @TJ- what will be the solution? [06:39] It has an NVIDIA Graphics card and its known good [06:40] it will boot XP and 7 No problem [06:40] cha1tanya: OK, in terminal go to the Download directory ( usually "cd ~/Downloads") and do "sudo dpkg - libkrb5*.deb" [06:40] I'm trying turning off ACPI [06:40] Is there any IRC channel for ubuntu users that is just chat and not tech support? [06:40] samkan: Contact the inkscape developers... is there a reason you had to compile it yourself rather than use the version in the Ubuntu archive? [06:40] Narrowed a problem with Ibus to my config settings being absolutely screwed -- PLEASE someone.. I need some guidance in finding where these damned settings are hiding (verified by making a test user for which ibus/anthy worked nicely) [06:41] canadiansissy: #ubuntu-social I think [06:41] TJ-, sudo dpkg - libkrb5*.deb , it says dpkg: error: need an action option [06:41] TJ- thanks! btw you people are awesome for doing tech support it is so nice that this the community is so warm :) [06:41] pseudonymous: I'm wondering if the settings that have migrated from gconf into dconf are somehow responsible. [06:41] However, I can't say. [06:41] anyhow, I need to depart. [06:42] cha1tanya: LOL I typoed ... it ought to be "... dpkg -i .... " [06:42] :D [06:42] cha1tanya: -i for 'install' [06:42] I need to replace this laptop keyboard [06:42] previous owner's parrot had some fun with it === patson_ is now known as patson [06:42] Viking666: would you know how I can start searching through dconf's settings ? [06:43] TJ-, after that ? apt-get install -f ? [06:43] cha1tanya: You got itQ [06:43] just wanted some customization [06:44] samkan: Maybe the changes you made caused the issue? Or maybe you've built the bleeding-edge development version that is a work-in-progress [06:44] bah. I know what I forgot. [06:44] Viking667: To put the pots away? :p [06:44] How do I lock in refresh rates on two monitors? [06:44] no, nothing changes ? [06:44] TJ-, no it didnt work http://pastie.org/4410409 [06:44] Viking667: you mean same rate on both? [06:45] Goodmorning === ruud is now known as Izzo [06:45] Hnnngh why doesn't it want to boot, this CD's hashes all check out, [06:45] I have CRT monitors, they're both getting 60Hz. One can do 85Hz, the other can do 75hz [06:45] Can cards push monitors at different speeds? [06:45] yes. [06:45] happily. [06:45] Hello, guys! I want to know, if I have a Debian VPS, how can I install Ubuntu to replace Debian? [06:46] cha1tanya: Interesting! You've really managed to get that system in a twizzle! ... give me a few minutes to figure it out [06:46] JoseeAntonioR: hmm.. wipe and reinstall is the safest way to do it. [06:46] but it's not the only way. [06:46] but it IS the only way to be absolutely sure. [06:46] Viking667: I've only got SSH access to it :( [06:46] ouch. That's an issue then. [06:46] Why're you downgrading anyhow? [06:47] Viking667: because I prefer Ubuntu than Debian, and the VPS was provided to me with Debian [06:48] cha1tanya: OK, you've got libgssapi-krb5-2 (version 2 note) which depends on libkrb5-3 (= 1.10+dfsg~beta1-2ubuntu0.2 - version 2 note) but it wants version 3. [06:48] sigh. [06:49] Personally, I'd have just installed the same packages and lived with it. [06:49] so, any answers on setting specific refresh rates to be applied on Xorg startup? [06:49] arr :P [06:49] Its strange, my i386 boots up, but the AMD64 disk wont boot on this laptop [06:49] even though its an Athlon X2 disk [06:49] Indexphinger: weird. [06:50] and it also boots on my little brothers AMD64 PC [06:50] is the lappy EFI or old BIOS [06:50] I think it has something to do with how the ACPI runs or the fact that it has an Nvidia card [06:50] hm [06:51] cha1tanya: OK, the packages that are failing to configure are the previous versions to the ones currently in the Oneiric archives, so we need to do the same as earlier and manually delete the problem ones [06:51] anyone ever try ubuntu mini remix? [06:51] cha1tanya: Let's start with "sudo dpkg -r libgssapi-krb5-2:i386" [06:51] ok [06:51] caixa:remix is dead i think [06:52] dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libgssapi-krb5-2:i386: [06:52] libcurl3:i386 depends on libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.10+dfsg~). [06:52] libcups2:i386 depends on libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.10+dfsg~). [06:52] caixa:why you ask? [06:52] lotuspsychje, you sure? they have 12.04 on their website [06:52] cha1tanya: Grrr, we need to force it ... hang on a moment [06:52] lotuspsychje, just came across it and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it [06:52] oh [06:53] cha1tanya: Let's try forcing it "sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq -r libgssapi-krb5-2:i386" [06:53] caixa: cool never heard of that project b4 [06:53] I'm so used to rolling my own distros because I do custom arcade hardware and stuff for a hobbu [06:53] How can I setup an OEM version to keep settings and virtual machines when the new owner starts up? [06:54] caixa: ive just tested netbook remix, not the mini [06:54] lotuspsychje, yes, seems pretty cool, it essentially is like archlinux, but ubuntu based... comes with bare bones and lets you add what you need [06:54] TJ-, still dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libgssapi-krb5-2:i386: [06:54] Indexphinger: You could try adding "noacpi" or possibly "noapic" to the kernel command line from the bootloader menu [06:54] cha1tanya: Grrrr try this then: "sudo dpkg --force-all -r libgssapi-krb5-2:i386" [06:54] caixa: you can finetune regular ubuntu to your wishes aswell of course [06:55] lotuspsychje, yes but the standard iso comes with a bunch of software/services that most dont need [06:55] TJ-, yo [06:55] lotuspsychje, mini remix is like 133mb iso [06:55] TJ-, its removed finally [06:55] caixa:thats tiny indeed [06:56] cha1tanya: Great! try another "sudo apt-get -f install" now, lets see how we're doing. It ought to install the latest version of that package for us, now [06:56] lotuspsychje, oops, 180mb [06:56] Is there a way to TTY into my laptop because the keyboard is a POS? [06:56] for some reason my keyboard doesn't want to work when I plug it in [06:56] Indexphinger: Using ssh, yes, if you've installed openssh-server on it [06:57] caixa: i think there are packages within ubuntu too for building own boot iso [06:57] My escape key doesnt work :/ [06:57] lotuspsychje, yes i think you use them to customize the 180mb iso to add what you need [06:57] lotuspsychje, apps like ubuntu customization kit [06:57] !info aptoncd | caixa [06:57] caixa: aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.98+bzr117-1.2 (precise), package size 216 kB, installed size 1535 kB [06:58] also interesting [06:58] lotuspsychje, cool [06:58] Oh I have a question, If I'm building an arcade machine software for a LCD Slot machine, Can I use Ubuntu as a base instead of rolling my own linux from scratch? [06:59] caixa: you gotta love proffessional packages to make ubuntu life easy right [06:59] Any ideas on how to install Ubuntu on a VPS that currently has Debian and only SSH access to it? [06:59] lotuspsychje, yeah i think ubuntu is packaged with so much by default to just make everything easier and not having to have users go searching for things [07:00] Indexphinger the easy answer is yes. you just remove everthing from ur desktop etc you dont need and start you app on it. [07:00] lotuspsychje, the most popular distros are always the easiest ones that come with the less work [07:00] ie chrome fullscreen etc [07:00] caixa:they cant make everyone happy neither ofcourse [07:01] lotuspsychje, pff, which all the linux distros out there, there is something for everyone [07:01] gms: I was wondering about the legality mostly, like with our previous XP Embedded releases we just plastered our Logo on the NTOSKrnl [07:01] JoseeAntonioR: Usually I believe, if the versions aren't too far apart, you can change the /etc//apt/sources.list and do a dist-upgrade... but there *are* differences, so do research on that suggestion of try it out locally in a VM before doing it on the production VPS [07:01] JoseeAntonioR your vps providor will prolly have some sort of interface for rebuilding your vps [07:02] cha1tanya: How are you getting on? [07:02] Indexphinger yeah you wont need to provide logos onscreen. as long as you prolly include proper compliance with the machine such as in its operating manual alog with other licenses ur glbl lgpl licenses [07:03] lol i forgot my password, i need the command for send pw to my email? help please :( [07:03] gpl/lgpl ^ [07:03] TJ-, done that [07:03] sonkralice:root password? [07:03] cha1tanya: So apt-get -f install has no errors? [07:04] Yeah we have the full LGPL and GPL printed up, the machines are sold as empty shells with a basic linux on them [07:04] Anybody using Quantal and Evolution? the evolution-ews package doesnt work for me [07:04] no it has TJ- wait i am posting links [07:04] sonkralice: Freenode nick password? You should join #freenode and ask there, they're the only ones that can send that [07:04] TJ-, http://pastie.org/4410476 [07:04] ok [07:04] back up won't work and says, " will update when network established(?)", red triangle, but won't update [07:04] izzo:define 'dont work'? [07:04] the people who buy them write individual software in each case and call us if anything doesn't work and we give them support with our hardware [07:04] gms: seems like they don't have one :( [07:04] lotuspsychje, getting a library error and exchange isnt showing up in the list of supported accounttypes [07:05] TJ-: are there any other safer ways to? [07:05] cha1tanya: Are you able to do "sudo apt-get update" at this point to get the up-to-date package list from the archives? [07:05] Izzo: Support for Quantal is currently in #ubuntu+1 until its released, that'll be the best place to ask that [07:05] ah ok [07:05] #join freenode [07:05] dont work [07:05] Izzo: you can try thunderbird also [07:06] ok trying it [07:06] JoseeAntonioR: That's the safest I think; it's not something to do lightly though... better to backup the configuration and start afresh for a production server. What's wrong with using Debian on a VPS anyhow? [07:06] TJ-: Oh, just got an email from them saying I can re-install the distro. Thanks anyway! [07:06] I installed wine from ubuntu software center, icon is created, but when i click on icon, it doesn't work. [07:06] TJ-: I prefer Ubuntu, never in my life used Debian before [07:06] JoseeAntonioR: Cool! [07:07] Frankly I can't see much difference. Shrug. [07:07] I guess I just use it. [07:07] JoseeAntonioR: not alot of difference! Ubuntu is Debian with some different choices and configurations... not so much difference at the server level [07:07] JoseeAntonioR there is no problem using linux for any purpose comertial or not. the idea is if you use lgpl to compile against then you dont have to provide source for those dependands but if you use gpl then you do. so as far as that goes you can build a box install linux on it and package it in a keisk without dramas and the end user your customers writing software will negotite them issues [07:07] your not charging for linux your charging for the box and support. [07:08] gms: Erm, nope, I'm not a provider. [07:08] rahul_:what you mean dont work? [07:08] I use LGPL for our software so people can't just go hack our slot machines and make money pour out [07:09] the Arcade hardware on the other hand is full GPL because I like seeing all the cool fixes my clients do for little problems I overlooked [07:09] lotuspsychje, when i click on wine it doesn't response [07:10] rahul_:did you try running a windows exe on with wine yet? [07:10] is there a way to force verbose boot? [07:10] Indexphinger: Yes, kernel command line option "debug" and remove "quiet splash" [07:10] thanks [07:10] I'm not used to using such a new kernel [07:11] lotuspsychje, not yet, first time using. [07:11] !wine | rahul_ [07:11] rahul_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:11] Indexphinger that wont work. wine is a api not a platform [07:11] rahul_:wine does not run on its own, its made for installing windows programs [07:12] or virtualization i should say [07:12] now i try to run from terminal its show error::: wine::cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\PROGRAM.exe" [07:13] gms: I was asking about the ubuntu boot process, I'm not used to seeing such shiny loading screens since upgrading all of my development stuff [07:13] rahul_:try right mouse click on program.exe and 'run with wine' [07:13] Most of our ridiculously old machining equipment runs linux 2.4 with some really badly written korean GUI over it [07:14] where can i found program.exe [07:14] Indexphinger just a tryck of the eye. the boot screen is just normal customization of what is in most distros. grub grub2 etc provide image loader. see customizing boot image. [07:14] rahul_:what exaclty are you trying to install on wine? [07:14] rahul_ did you want explorer.exe wine dones come with programe.exe copy it over from windows and apply correct os to the settings for it [07:15] dont ^ [07:15] my wine is not starting. [07:15] when i click on wine icon.. it doesnt' respone anything [07:15] ... [07:15] gms ok [07:16] the prolly scary thing about uuntu for ppl used to say redhat is upstart. but you can go ahead with rc.d as usual [07:16] rahul_:is your windows exe a windows installer? [07:16] mayby the dir layout is just a tad diff to another distro u been using but still works identical. int starts the rc.d script wich checks nd switches runlevels === mimor is now known as mimor_ [07:17] gms: actually, now we have systemd, it doesn't quite work that way any more. [07:17] lotuspsychje, i didn't try to install any exe, my wine is not starting. [07:17] I'm going to go to my local computer store and obtain a new keyboard replacement, the boot issue precludes the fact I cant hit Esc :) [07:18] I like my Model M... [07:18] rahul_:i just explained you wine does not start standalone...you need a windows installer exe to open with wine [07:18] halfalife: yup. But that's missing the Windows key... [07:18] True. [07:18] I just bound right-alt to Super. [07:19] Since I never use it otherwise. [07:19] ok, i have to right run programe.exe [07:19] Viking667 yeah true but it still remains fairly compatible in concept. and to many distros still for backwards compatibility very similar [07:19] lotuspsychje, when i try to run from terminal it says ::: error:: C:\\windows\\system32\\PROGRAM.exe [07:20] rahul_:what does program.exe do? is it an installer or just a windows system file? [07:20] lotuspsychje its the old window manager before explorer.exe [07:20] Thank you anyway I think I'll go tinker with the CNC arm, maybe I can teach it to throw a ball :D [07:20] err, "progman.exe"... spell it correctly [07:21] ^ [07:21] lotuspsychje, i don't have any idea about this. [07:21] gms:so he gotta install it not run it [07:21] ahh that was it to. program manager [07:21] yeap copy it from windows and set up its settings properly. tis waste of time realy. [07:22] i am trying wine first time. [07:22] rahul_:can you tell us what this prgram do? [07:22] rahul_ use wine ~/.wine/.../explorere.exe < have a look at the actual path it is.

And why is the 32,bit recommended? [07:44] irreverant: because if you are unsure 32bit works on both [07:45] irreverant: i wouldn't worry about what you chose..just remember if you set the memory allowed over 4, it wont detect it in 32 [07:45] irreverant, what cpu do you have?

[07:48] cronie2285: i think it's like F8 or one of those that allows you to select what kernel you boot into [07:48] AMD 4 core.

[07:59] I'm sorry about the question but every time o press "ctrl+alt+down" this ubuntu 14.04 it crash. Start to apears the windows compiz every white... white... white and te screen stays white i need to reboot. the only thing strage i see was i nede to install the ubuntu whith "[noacpi] - i think is like this we call.. clean install crash to [08:00] cronie2285: that grub install might possibly be seeing a configuration for the old motherboard, and not seeing the new one [08:00] I figured Grub needed some sort of option. [08:00] elgaton Will it work even though I'm already using grub to dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu? [08:00] cronie2285: you may have to re-install grub on the MBR of that drive [08:00] chuck: you are probably 100% ritght.

That won't make me lose the data, I hope [08:46] 10. (Optional but recommend, if you have a multicore machine) Now, if a game is at loading screen or started, you will determine some minor FPS issues. Well, you can boost the game, with the following two steps: [08:46] Run [08:46] pidof "League of Legends.exe" [08:46] in a terminal (yes, you need the " ", so don't leave them out). This command will return you the pid (Process ID) of the running Game / League of Legends instance. After that enter [08:46] taskset -p 1 PID [08:46] baker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:46] where PID is the number which the pidof command gave you. The taskset command ensures, that League of Legends is only running on one core. For me, this gives me a stable 40 FPS instead of the unstable 25-35 FPS. [08:46] baker: this computer is a AMD phenom 2, six core, with 16 gigs of DDR3 1600, with a ATI 4670 1gig, and it doesn't run League in wine [08:47] lmoa [08:47] really [08:47] sb_Newbie: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video [08:47] baker: or use top [08:47] any one [08:47] baker: yeah use the top command [08:48] !grub | sb_Newbie [08:48] sb_Newbie: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[09:00] Different terminal emulators [09:00] Terminal is gnome-terminal, which has more features than xterm [09:00] ActionParsnip Read http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141 [09:00] They both have the same actual shell (bash) though [09:00] scrooll down [09:00] amol: i'm not sure if the version of msf with ubuntu has the msfupdate command but you may want to try that. [09:00] scoll down 2 percent you will see [09:00] fps [09:00] amol: the updates you'll receive from apt-get will only be bug and security fixes [09:01] Ca11um: Different versions of the same thing. Terminal emulators. === annecy is now known as daithib8 [09:01] <_zoom_> hi, how to add virtual interface eth0:0 in network-manager? [09:01] Ca11um: There are also Konsole (for KDE) and my favourite, Terminator [09:01] when samba 4 stable is out, will ubuntu 12.04 be updated with it? [09:01] MarKsaitis: That's a backport. And almost certainly not [09:02] amol: pretty sure you can sudo msfupdate [09:02] ok bro [09:02] thanx all [09:02] how sad, because 12.04 lts is gonna last for 5 years and I believe samba 4 will be out soon =) [09:02] amol: that would be to gather the newest exploits that have been added. [09:02] Wow should be a easy thing to do [09:02] PID [09:02] ciao a tutti [09:03] i need to exploit iis 7.0 is der any way [09:03] Is there any lightweight software that keeps your computer clean and fast? [09:03] <_zoom_> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/04/how-to-quickly-create-multiple-virtual-network-interfaces-in-ubuntu/ [09:03] You can get the PID with a proccess explorer or just with the command: pidof "League of Legends.exe" [09:03] I constantly worry about downloading loads of packages, some are massive - will they effect my computers speed? [09:03] Ca11um: No, but there is Bleachbit wihich will delete old temporary files and things [09:04] Ca11um: Linux tends not to suffer from the "startup-creep" of Windows, where more and more applications run themselves at startup [09:04] ActionParnsip thats what is says nothing about killing anything to find PID [09:04] ^ [09:04] Blazemore: Is it more a case of running them when you want? [09:05] <_zoom_> :) [09:05] Ca11um: It's more the case of the HP drivers don't ship with a metric crapton of "helper" applications [09:05] Oh yeah I always format after buying a PC...but I mean, on Windows I end up installing loads of random programs (my interests change a lot) [09:05] And all the apps update via the package manager, so they don't need to sit in your system tray checking for updates themselves [09:06] Eventually stuff gets slow in general [09:06] aker 15329 72.3 7.9 1698896 225388 ?

[09:08] Ca11um: Upgrades the packages on your system to the latest versions in the Ubuntu repositories [09:08] Ca11um: it upgrades all your packages [09:08] I thought packages were just constantly updated? [09:08] and you simply use Update Manager, or apt-get update [09:08] Ca11um: Not automatically [09:08] like when i press the alt key and search for lorem ipsum generator it shows no results ....it used to work previously [09:09] Ca11um: apt-get update gets a new list of what packages are ready to upgrade [09:09] Ca11um: "apt-get update" is like checking for Windows updates, and apt-get upgrade is like installing them [09:09] ActionParnsip baker 10033 5.3 2.3 1661520 67924 ?

[09:22] skav: No, grub is in /boot on Linux, not on the Windows partition [09:22] ActionParnsnip in the grub setting that says: noacpi? [09:23] khaos_: Yes, at the end of that line [09:23] so is it ok if i delete the partition? [09:23] thanks ActionParsnip Blazemore i will try that [09:23] skav: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=409 [09:24] I deleted mine and had no problems, but like I said, your milage may vary [09:24] I have a user running a session with GUI [09:25] ubuntu doesn't appear to have an ~/.xsession ... is there an equivalent? [09:25] how do I move programs and all their dependencies automatically ? [09:25] one last question, I have tried non propertiary driver and the brightness worked with fn keys, but i got no plymouth splash screen (the screen has damaged graphics) [09:25] I want to switch to another account with GUI but not logout the first one [09:25] jellow: you mean between two Ubuntu installations? [09:26] BM-Solid: +k I think [09:26] elgaton: I have a chroot partition I've been using ldd and doing it manually but it is quite slow [09:26] skav: you could try marking the parition as hidden in gparted [09:26] hello [09:26] jellow: If it's between two same Ubuntu versions, try this: http://overtag.dk/wordpress/2012/04/ubuntu-tip-save-a-list-of-installed-packages-for-reinstallation-purposes/ [09:26] BM-Solid: use the switch user feature [09:26] histo: it doesnt work [09:27] where is it?

[10:06] llutz_: I know it can be done with a ssh-key, but I have a reason to use bash script with a password in it [10:07] u1204: it won't work [10:07] xocolatl: im a windows overlord. im sorta new to linux... 10 years with windows. 1 year with linux. [10:07] xocolatl: also what could you lose? [10:07] llutz_: you mean there is no way bash can do it? [10:07] xocolatl: most HDDs these days are MASSIVE! [10:07] Red_M, the point is, the boot hangs once it tries to switch to graphics mode [10:08] u1204: i don't know if there is _no_ way, but none i know. ssh won't accept keys from commandline because it would be shown in processlist, which you really don't want [10:08] xocolatl: try --- hmmm anyone want to take this? im stuck [10:09] s/keys/passwords/ even [10:09] look, the liveusb does not work. I am not interested in installing a broken os and bricking the machine. I *am* interested in this being the only OS on this machine, but not until it works properly. [10:09] xocolatl: laptop? [10:09] nightshade, dell vostro 470 (desktop) [10:10] xocolatl: what's the issue? reading backwards hurt my head just now [10:10] xocolatl: dual boot it with something else like windows [10:10] oh i read your message just now, few lines above [10:10] llutz_: do you mean bash processlist can be seen outside my home dir? [10:10] Red_M, once again IT DOES NOT BOOT. [10:11] nightshade, when booting, it hangs when going to graphics mode [10:11] xocolatl: DO YOU HAVE A CD DRIVE? [10:11] last line is "mdm something something" then panic ? [10:11] u1204: the processlist has nothing to do with bash and homedirs, it can bee seen [10:11] nightshade, the crappy graphics mode that the initial "boot or install" menu works, but the actual graphics mode hangs [10:11] xocolatl: what GPU do you use? [10:12] why we use gpg-agent? [10:12] that was happening to me. older versions work wonderfully, but the latest one i ahve major troubles with when using the LiveUSB or CD [10:12] ActionParsnip, 1GB nvidia geforece gt 620 [10:12] it's a kernel problem [10:12] xocolatl: tried the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [10:13] ActionParsnip, I will try that. where do I put in this option? [10:13] !bootoption | xocolatl [10:13] xocolatl: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [10:13] ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll go test it [10:13] llutz_: it is not a problem that it is visible, I would only need to make the script wok in the way that it can automatically mount a remote dir [10:14] u1204: it is a problem, because openssh doesn't accept it by design for this reason [10:14] u1204: iirc you cannot circumvent it [10:14] u1204: if you add the mount to /etc/fstab then run mount on the mount point as root and it will mount [10:14] ActionParsnip: sshfs [10:15] llutz_: can stil be added :) [10:15] ActionParsnip: not with password [10:15] ll [10:16] llutz_: gah [10:16] llutz_: does it mean my root password and the password in remote server should be the same in order to mount the remote dir without need to type in password [10:16] u1204: no [10:17] u1204: if you use ssh(fs) and no keys, it always will prompt your for the password [10:17] you* [10:17] u1204 i use ssh too -- first you type the local sudo password, then the remote password to login [10:17] MonkeyDust: Why do you need sudo to run ssh? [10:17] Blazemore for remote rsync [10:18] OK [10:18] llutz_: my problem is that the remote dir I'm trying to mount is encrypted partition, so I can't use ssh-key [10:18] MonkeyDust: use forced-commands and a key for that [10:18] llutz_ i'm happy with the way i do it [10:18] u1204: well sry then, cannot help you [10:19] llutz_: ok, but thanks for discussion anyway, I'm a bit smarter now [10:20] u1204: Are you relying on autofs on the server to unlock and mount the encrypted file-system when the ssh connection occurs? [10:21] TJ-: yes [10:22] u1204: For encrypted home directories, you can move the ~/.ssh/authorized_hosts file to /etc/ssh/$USER/ and amend sshd_conf to use that [10:23] u1204: See this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Troubleshooting [10:26] what is use og gpg-agent? [10:26] TJ-: thanks, but I've tried it. I can automatically connect the server to my machine, but home directory remains unmounted and I still have to mount it manually and enter password [10:27] what is use of gpg-agent === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [10:27] u1204: I use that extensively on my servers with no problems whatsoever, and I use sshfs to mount remote servers into my local file-system that way [10:28] ActionParsnip, finally got it :) that allowed it to boot into a really crappy resolution, but it should allow me to figure out how to install the nvidia drivers and hope that works. I'll go poke around now, thank you for your guidance === heisenmi_ is now known as heisenmink [10:29] TJ-: interesting, are filesystems in your servers encrypted? [10:29] u1204: Yes [10:30] u1204: I had the same challenge as you; moving the authorized_keys to /etc/ssh/$USER/ was my solution [10:30] then I must try that again, it has been a long time since I did it [10:30] TJ-: I used Ubuntu 10.04 back then [10:31] u1204: Also, ensure the authorized_keys does contain only ONE copy of your public key! That caught me out as well... more than one, and I was prompted for passwords until I figured that out! [10:31] u1204: I use it on 10.04 and 12.04 servers [10:32] TJ-: thanks, TJ, I'll try it right away [10:33] hi, a question about a nfs share mounted on ubuntu? here or in the ##networking channel?? [10:33] jalexandru: What's the question? [10:34] using the 'cp' command what argument or what's it called? do I add so I can cp all the contents of a folder rather than just one at a time, please? [10:35] cp -a (a for all) or * (for all) ? [10:35] I need to mount a nfs share at startup on a client, tried adding a line to mount the share in fstab but it's not lunching at start up, any reason? can anybody provide an example on how the line in fstab should look? [10:35] livingdaylight: cp -a folder /path/to/dest [10:36] ActionParsnip, thx, i was on track with cp -a then :) [10:36] jalexandru: Does the fstab entry refer to the IP of the NFS server, or the hostname? Sometimes that early there is no DNS resolution and so the mount fails but if you try it later on with "mount -a" it will work [10:36] livingdaylight, the -r option means all the files in teh folder, but you have to be very careful [10:37] jalexandru: Here's how mine is set here: 10.254.251.1:/Library /home/all/Library nfs4 _netdev,auto,user 0 0 [10:37] -R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively [10:39] this is a pretty horrible experience :( I've been using ubuntu (as my only os) on my home laptops since edgy eft and I've never had the problems this desktop installation is giving me :( I'm glad this isn't my first impression [10:40] hi i've this problem [10:40] Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: «net usershare» ha restituito l'errore 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error File o directory non esistente [10:40] Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing [10:44] is anybody here ? [10:44] yes [10:44] HongKilDong: nobody at all [10:45] HongKilDong: yes. [10:45] cool !!! [10:45] It's debatable [10:45] sorry, it's my first experience with irc ) [10:45] np [10:45] irc is very old but very cool and still used today [10:50] aloha! i want to change the behavior of a function key: i want it to just toggle bluetooth and not wifi. i have the same problem this guy has: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131973 what am i missing? [10:50] !shortcut [10:50] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts [10:51] not even related [10:52] it is all about acpi [10:52] JesusMcCloud: tried keytouch package? [10:52] ActionParsnip, keytouch is about X keyboard shortcuts, right? if so then it does nto help === matt_ is now known as Guest62384 [10:54] ActionParsnip, when i boot wiht acpi=off the toggle stops working as expected, so i can narrwo it down to acpi and exclude a hardware switch. [10:56] ActionParsnip, another proof that acpi is involved in some way ist that if i disable the toggleAllWiereless function in acpi-support the behavior changes -> oly wireless is toggled, which i do not understand [10:56] JesusMcCloud: What's your PC model, and can you pastebin the script and what you see in the system log when you press the key? [10:57] TJ-, thinkpad edge e350, even if i disable all scripts i can think of, wireless is still toggled, so i am missing something. and i want to know what i am missing [10:58] Hiyas all === Blazemore is now known as Blazemore|Work [10:58] TJ-, i also inspected the events using acpi_listen and there is only one event that is supposed to be triggered (the correct one) but this only adds additional functionality to the function key and does not remove the wifi toggleing function [10:58] Hi! [10:58] JesusMcCloud: sure you but need to tell XOrg to interpret the input differently, acpi just makes the button work, not define its function [10:58] ActionParsnip, acpid does [10:59] JesusMcCloud: the input is interpretted by th X server, so you can use an app to change what that signal generated by the button does [11:00] ActionParsnip, and i am runnign xfce and xbindkeys to define keyboard shortcuts. but i do not need to define functions on a per-user basis. i need to invoke rfkill which requires root privilidges. that is why acpid should handle it [11:00] susundberg: greetings [11:00] ActionParsnip, but ok. i will try touchkey now [11:00] s/touchkey/keytouch/ [11:03] JesusMcCloud: Have you considered/tested this method - using the rfkill interface? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_setup_Bluetooth [11:04] TJ-, not the point. rfkill works but whenever the acpi event is triggered something else is invoked to toggle wifi and i dont know what! [11:06] okay, after installing to disk using only vga, it installed the nvidia drivers and I can now boot on the other screen. however, it only detects one of them. how do I get it to see both of my monitors? [11:08] xocolatl: try nvidia-settings [11:08] ActionParsnip, keytouch is not helping. it can only add additional functionality, but not alter the functionality [11:08] JesusMcCloud: bah [11:09] ActionParsnip, or am i missing something? [11:09] <_skpl> bah@ [11:09] JesusMcCloud: depends on the button really, if its wired right to the hardware then I'm not sure [11:10] ActionParsnip, definetely not a hardware button. when booting with acpi=off the buttons stops working [11:11] JesusMcCloud: I'm looking at the thinkpad_acpi.c, I've seen notes that indicate that by default it will act on all key functions unless disabled, and that using lsinput and input-events (from the input-utils package) might help [11:11] so i have exactly THIS https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131973 problem [11:12] JesusMcCloud: What kernel version are you using? [11:12] TJ-, well not really. because when i edit the acpi script for togling wireless i can remove the bluetooth toggling functionality, but not the wifi toggle [11:12] TJ-, 3.4 [11:12] TJ-, but this seems to be kernel and distro independent [11:13] The kernel version matters, since I'm reading the source code === mcdan_ is now known as mcdan [11:15] TJ-, thanks man! i also cannot fund out why toggleAllWireless() is invoked [11:15] people why when I try to acces to a project, in apache, I have this message: You don't have permission to access to
[11:16] hi all [11:16] hi, im using alternate cd on ubuntu precise but i cant recover my system after try upgrade [11:16] rocketmagnet: greetings [11:16] apt-get install -f doesnt run [11:16] dpk --configure -a not too [11:16] apt-get dist-upgrade -f not too [11:17] and i cant get dns resolution :-S [11:18] erchache2000: can you ping 8.8.8.8? [11:18] I can't lock the number of virtual desktop of gnome-shell on ubuntu 12.04 [11:18] yeah [11:18] but www.google.com not [11:19] resolv.conf is empty [11:19] erchache2000: thenrun: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null [11:19] but i configure it correctly on [11:19] ok [11:19] hi does dump work with ext4 on 12.04? [11:21] erchache2000: ok now? [11:22] JesusMcCloud: Yurg... lots of sub-driver code to get past [11:23] ActionParsnip: nope, its a linked file and cant edit it [11:23] erchache2000: i've ran that command before, works well [11:23] erchache2000: how do you define your network addressing? [11:24] im using alternate cd on rescue mode [11:24] TJ-, hmpf. i dont even get why stete-funcs (acpi-support) is in voked [11:24] im triying to repair a broken upgrade from ubuntu lucid to precise [11:24] does not make any sense [11:24] erchache2000: you could always use /etc/network/interfaces file and set the DNS there [11:24] shit is ok! === c_ is now known as Guest33488 [11:25] ActionParsnip: [11:25] 'ello [11:25] !language|erchache2000 [11:25] erchache2000: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [11:25] Guest33488: greetings [11:25] why apt-get update show me cant link to archive.ubuntu.com precise? [11:25] how goes it with y'all? [11:26] erchache2000: check your software sources list in settings [11:26] cfhowlett: its ok [11:26] its a broken upgrade [11:26] Guest33488: have you a specific ubuntu support question? [11:27] cfhowlett: precise, precise-updates, precise-security [11:27] erchache2000: sorry. my only sad experience with a scruffled upgrade led me to adopt a policy of LTS clean installs only. [11:28] cfhowlett: install without formatting... :-| [11:28] actually yes i do have a specific question for support [11:28] erchache2000: also I have dedicated /home partition so I retain my data [11:28] clean installs is how I do it too, after backing up data and config files [11:29] JesusMcCloud: This suggests the firmware is switching the WWLAN and cannot be controlled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [11:29] at the current moment, im actually trying to reformat to windows 7 *yuck* [11:29] Guest33488: ask with details.. [11:29] doing so so that i can have access to certain programs [11:29] TJ-, you forgot the uri of you paste [11:29] when i put in my dvd to reformat and install, i get nothing [11:30] a blank screen, then taken to the ubuntu splash screen before it shuts the computer off [11:30] JesusMcCloud: LOL ... amazingly, the pastebin isn't showing one in the browser address bar! [11:30] does this with a newly burned ubuntu disc as well [11:30] Guest33488: wait, you're using ubuntu to format for windows reinstall? [11:30] TJ-, thanks for looking. but what does this mean? i can disable the acpi buttons by disabling acpi [11:30] nah im an ubuntu user [11:31] TJ-, the acpi keys that is [11:31] but temporarily switching to windows 7 to work with ableton live to finish some tunes with a friend === Guest75661 is now known as Freeaqingme [11:31] JesusMcCloud: It seems to suggest that you cannot stop the WWLAN being switched unless you disable it... as you do when disabling the ACPI buttons === betinho is now known as kenlik [11:32] TJ-, another problem: how can i tell blueman not to enable bluetooth when it starts? appending rfkill to rc.local does nto do the trick since blueman always enables it when i log in [11:32] Guest33488: if your dvd won't boot, I'd suspect the iso first. md5sum/checksum to verify a good iso [11:32] im thinking it may be the iso as well [11:33] and am checking into things [11:33] Guest33488: also, liveboot usb is WAY less troublesome than burning a cdrom each and every time [11:33] however it is odd that a freshly downloaded iso of ubuntu would produce the same results [11:34] Guest33488: due diligence. checksum the iso to eliminate that cause of funky behavior [11:34] JesusMcCloud: I seen to recall from a few years ago when I did some programming on blueman, there was then a way to configure it... I have to restart now though I've just found out my encrypted home directory of this session has somehow closed - which was why firefox went funny on me [11:35] I'll be back [11:35] thanks for some info [11:35] im noobish as fuck, but i shall try my best [11:35] Guest33488: good luck. have fun. [11:42] i've a question about vstab: I#ve a second hd that is mounted automatically (not listed in /etc/fstab), how can i add the hd to fstab to add additional settings ???? [11:42] TJ- thanks for you efforts! now whom do i punch in the neck for fsck'ing up the wireless toggle? [11:43] JesusMcCloud: This is the link I tried to give you: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1135951/ [11:43] Hey all. What terminal command do I need to upgrade from 10.04.3 to 10.04.4? [11:44] iamtony: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:44] @cfhowlett: Won't that go to 12.04? [11:44] iamtony: No [11:44] no [11:44] iamtony: nope. [11:45] Awesome, thanks! [11:45] iamtony: There's nothing special about a point release like that [11:45] iamtony: good luck. have fun. [11:45] It's just to save people from needing to download 3 years of upgrades every time [11:46] how could i know that my key is accepted by keyserver [11:48] I have installed ubuntu-zfs and moved my /home to myzfs/home, the only problem i have is that the myzfs/home doesnot automatically mount during boot. Do i need to put a startup script for sudo zfs mount -a . Is there a better solution? [11:50] Asad2005: can't put it in /etc/fstab? [11:51] Do you guys know how to get the two finger scroll ona macbook working in ubuntu? [11:53] I'd guess messing with synaptic, but I've forgotten all about using that [11:53] ceil: its a zfs how can i put in fstab ? [11:54] Asad2005: i've never used zfs, i just didn't know it was all that special [11:54] maybe you can't [11:54] er, synaptic as in the touchpad controller even [11:54] network-manager applet does not work after sleep: options are not clickable, VPN & More connections lists are empty. Any solutions? [11:54] KsM: heh i thought you were suggesting browsing some packages :p [11:54] JesusMcCloud: This sounds like the solution you want, but you'd have to translate it from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu http://www.conrad.id.au/2011/08/use-fnf5-hotkey-to-only-enable-disable.html [11:54] TJ-, sorry i accidentally unplugged my modem. [11:54] !logs [11:54] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [11:54] JesusMcCloud: This sounds like the solution you want, but you'd have to translate it from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu http://www.conrad.id.au/2011/08/use-fnf5-hotkey-to-only-enable-disable.html [11:55] shogunrisk: this may also work http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43097/how-to-get-macbook-style-finger-gestures-on-ubuntu-linux/ [11:55] TJ-, this link does not work here... maybe my network is fubar... [11:55] Thanks, just mananaged to get it working [11:56] JesusMcCloud: possibly. works here [11:56] blessed be googel cache [11:56] heh [11:57] JesusMcCloud: Hmmm... if you manually copy/paste it ... you'll also need to enable all javascripts! It uses about 3 sites to produce the page here [11:58] JesusMcCloud: I think the line you'll enjoy is: "Fn+F5... bingo! Only bluetooth enables / disables. This will not survive a reboot, though, so let's make it permanent and create a new .rules file in /etc/udev/rules/:" [11:58] what's mean? [11:58] JesusMcCloud: The short summary is, it's being controlled by udev not acpi [11:59] TJ-, thanks man. i suspected udev, but i could not fund anything... i hope i can "translate" this from suse to ubuntu [11:59] hey guys.. I'm having a problem: I've got an encrypted home partition (as in used via the installer) - now I want to mount something in /home/user/somefolder automatically with fstab, which seems to happen before /home is mounted, of course. That results in me not being able to see the mounted fs after startup, because the /home-mount is later. How to fix? [11:59] JesusMcCloud: You can ... just create the udev file given at the end! [12:00] JesusMcCloud: I was able to run the commands here unchanged... it doesn't, as I had thought, depend on which distro is in use [12:01] TJ-, thnaks man. i will try it now! as for blueman do you have any idea on how to make bluetooth disabled upon login? [12:01] is it possible to configure apt to use the option Aptitude::CmdLine::Ignore-Trust-Violations only against certain sources? [12:02] <|Frederik> In OpenLDAP I have user entry defined like this: http://pastebin.com/C9JrqxFt . I have enabled pam_ldap, but when I try to log in as that user with ssh with the correct password, it closes the connection with "You are required to change your LDAP password immediately. [12:02] Hello, since one week my ubuntu is quite slow to serve website, and find ssh/ftp servers too, its like there is a delay to fetch dns or something like that, I tried to to set dns on google ones but didn"t help. For example I hit: somewebpage.com and its loading for 8sec before getting the site responding. Anyone know what to setup to fix that? [12:02] <|Frederik> Is there something wrong with my ldap entry, or is there some problem at the pam level? [12:03] <|Frederik> Bastian_B: use the dig command to test your dns servers [12:03] i am a newer [12:04] |Frederik, thanks but how can I check if its correct in the results?

Now 0x81b00000 is in fact a 32-bit address and must have a type '0'. [12:08] TJ-, i gotta get myself a paypal account or something to buy you a beer THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! [12:08] JesusMcCloud: You can disable bluetooth at boot doing something like this: echo "options rfkill master_switch_mode=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/rfkill.conf [12:08] JesusMcCloud: Nothing a little Googling can't solve :p [12:09] JesusMcCloud: Do the community a favour - write up the solution on the Ubuntu help wiki :) [12:09] TJ-, i already have rfkill block bluetooth in rc.local but blueman re-enables bluetooth it seems [12:09] but i will try anyways [12:09] JesusMcCloud: Ahhhh! Ask the maintainer of blueman... he's pretty good I recall [12:10] TJ-, will do, thanks! [12:10] Anyone have any sort of exp getting sound working in backtrack?

Delays still present [12:13] TJ-, thanks man. really makes me feel bad. but i will get wiki account [12:14] Bastian_B: did you try disabling ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 [12:15] My Firefox on Ubuntu will not recognize the validity of an SSL certificate I've set up on my homepage, claiming it does not recognize the authority (Which is listed in its list of authorities under preferences).

[12:16] BluesKaj, Its comming from my computer [12:17] TJ-, for whatever reason the wifi fix stopped working after another reboot... maybe the order of the udev rule is important... rebooting again [12:17] BluesKaj 15 people using same router and they have no issues, also it happened recently, before it was ok [12:18] TJ-, rfkill was to blame fixed it [12:18] graphical ubuntustudio install does not work: after splashscreen with selecting the language display stays black [12:18] hello. I'd like some help to troubleshoot my webcam, please! It's a logitech orbicam integrated into my acer aspire laptop. It works correctly when doing a google hangout from my browser. Very interestingly, the capture through flash (e.g. omegle, chatroulette) does not work: the cam is not detected. Skype for linux does not detect it. Cheese crashes on startup. What could I do to troubleshoot the problem? [12:18] any ideas? [12:18] JesusMcCloud: Good news... I'm still looking at blueman [12:19] thanks! [12:19] Bastian_B, yes but your router may have optional settings for dns which if not set to the same dns will override your network interface ...it's an option to consider [12:19] raven: installed ubuntusutdio from iso or upgraded to ubuntu [12:19] Which sound hardware device should I be using?

I'm having a problem: I've got an encrypted home partition (as in used via the installer) - now I want to mount something in /home/user/somefolder automatically with fstab, which seems to happen before /home is mounted, of course. That results in me not being able to see the mounted fs after startup, because the /home-mount is later. How to fix? [12:22] aasu [12:22] cfhowlett yes [12:22] raven: I'm going to guess you need to use nomodeset. [12:22] my problum is i wanna paly call of duty game in ubuntu [12:22] !nomodeset [12:22] 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 [12:23] JesusMcCloud: As it's written in Python, you will be able to patch the .py file yourself to fix this if there isn't an option [12:23] pl help me [12:23] aasu: post the details.

[12:25] cemil: greetings [12:25] raven: I don't fully understand it but it seems to be a graphics processor setting issue. nomodeset is the workaround.

(i am not much of a python programmer [12:37] anyone know how to add a route in ubuntu? [12:37] lattera: use the route command [12:37] JesusMcCloud: You'll need to call RequestPowerState(self, state) from the end of the on_load() method I think [12:37] ActionParsnip: yup, I am [12:37] TJ-, ok... [12:37] getting an error on adding a route, and I'm not sure why [12:38] ActionParsnip, I removed the line that says ubuntu 10.04lts -32bit because I already told you what it was.

[12:39] Blazemore|Work: there's just a folder with my username in it. [12:39] DebolazW: Did you break them? [12:39] bustacap: If you were using lucid, you would have kernel 2.6.32 your alsa info text shows 3.2.6 which is backtrack, which isn't supported here [12:40] TJ-: Well, Firefox for some reason decides I don't have a valid SSL certificate on my homepage. [12:40] TJ-, nice! i was going to try SetBluetoothStatus [12:40] bustacap: you are using backtrack [12:40] Blazemore|Work: basically what I'm trying to do is: move /home/username/folder from my fstab to AFTER my encrypted home-directory is mounted.. because if it's the other way around, I can't see the firstly mounted folder, of course. [12:40] ActionParsnip, i'm running backtrack in a virtual machine. [12:40] Ubuntu is my main os. [12:41] bustacap: its not suported here, its that simple [12:41] bustacap: don't matter. BT is not supported here. sorry. [12:41] bustacap: missing sound in backtrack is not supported here [12:41] TJ-: It works in Firefox on Windows, and it works in Chrome on Ubuntu. But not the default Firefox on Ubuntu. [12:41] lattera: did you google it? First hit: http://www.adminsehow.com/2011/09/gateway-on-a-different-subnet-on-linux/ [12:41] But I don't have sound in Ubuntu which is my real os. [12:41] And that is what I am asking about. [12:41] I'm not asking about my virtual machine. [12:41] TJ-: And Firefox on Ubuntu lists the certificate authority in its list of valid authorities, it just refuses to use this information to validate my certificate. [12:41] bustacap: then why run it in backytrack if the issue is in Ubuntu, it makes no sense [12:42] DebolazW: That will likely be because the Ubuntu Firefox installation has revoked one of the CA certificates or doesn't have an intermediate cert [12:42] TJ-, does not work [12:42] ActionParsnip, I didn't run it in backtrack... [12:42] DebolazW: If you can let me know the URL I'l test it here [12:42] TJ-: https://berle.cc/ [12:42] susundberg: 192.168.3.6 is not my default gateway [12:42] JesusMcCloud: drat! I knew it couldn't be that simple... let me look again [12:42] bustacap: the kernel in the alsa output it the backtrack one [12:43] bustacap: you said you were using lucid which is a far earlier release of the kernel [12:43] bustacap: so I KNOW it's backtrack [12:43] bustacap: the distribution isn't supported here [12:44] DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu [12:44] DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 [12:44] DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid [12:44] DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS" [12:44] bustacap: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:44] ah, got it, nvm [12:44] DebolazW: When you use Firefox and look at the details of the certificate, does it show the StartSSL Intermediate certificate? [12:44] bustacap: yes, I can search the web too [12:44] Lol... [12:45] I'm running ubuntu 10.04.3 with a newer kernel. === groupcat is now known as konk [12:45] That kernel is not only for backtrack. [12:45] bustacap: then i suggest you boot to the official kernel and get sound there [12:45] bustacap: either you are not running Ubuntu or you are running ubuntu with a newer version of alsa which means we can't help you because that newer version was not meant to run on lucid. [12:45] TJ-: When looking at the certificate details, it shows the intermediate certificate listed as the authority. [12:46] DebolazW: Yes, and openssl reports and error too. Try this "openssl s_client -host berle.cc -port 443" [12:46] bustacap: also if you were running ubuntu, there would be an extra line in the alsa-info at the top stating lucid [12:46] bustacap: but yours doesn't as it is backtrack [12:47] None of my alsa stuff works.. [12:47] bustacap: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=24f88debb60dce863c9e6ad02e3e69a50ff4feb2 see how mine styates the ubuntu release [12:47] bustacap: ask in the backtrack chane [12:47] !ops | bus [12:47] bus: Help!

Simply put we can't fixed your busted system :/ [12:47] TJ-: It says unable to verify the first certificate. [12:47] IdleOne: its clearly backtrack [12:47] It's clearly not backtrack. [12:47] ActionParsnip: yup I see it. [12:48] bustacap: We can't help you. Please stop asking in here and ask the backtrack folks. [12:48] bustacap: go ask in ##linux [12:48] or ##linux, good idea ThinkT510 [12:48] It is ubuntu 10.04.3. [12:48] I'd like help with it. [12:49] bustacap: stop it [12:49] bustacap: it is not a default 10.04 with supported kernel or alsa. [12:49] TJ-: Hmm, well, so it doesn't recognize one of the certificates. As I understand it then, I'm missing an intermediate certificate in the chain which I should be serving from the server. But why does it work everywhere else? [12:49] now, stop wasting ours and your time. ask in ##linux or #backtrack-linux. [12:50] DebolazW: Maybe the other browsers install the Intermediate Cert? Here with the latest daily Firefox build for Ubuntu, your Certificate works. What version of Ubuntu and Firefox are you testing wirth? [12:50] bustacap: you are also running your irc client as root, which is the default username in backtack and is also a bad idea [12:51] ActionParsnip: Move on :) [12:51] JesusMcCloud: Ooops! That code you were editing is the tray applet... I maybe jumped to a conclusion you're using that... maybe you're not?

[12:53] bustacap: bustacap [~root@ool-182fba69.dyn.optonline.net] you are [12:53] JesusMcCloud: Hmm, so maybe the later call to UpdatePowerSate() sets it again from one of the other plugins [12:53] bustacap, bustacap is ~root@ [12:53] OldOneEye: ask in the channel and you'll get more help [12:53] ActionParsnip: ident is not a definite way of determining username [12:53] Lol [12:53] ActionParsnip: he might not be, the fact it says "root" doesn't automatically mean he's running as root, anyway what's the point arguing this [12:53] TJ-: I managed to dig up and install the intermediate certificate. Thank you for your help. [12:53] bustacap: Jordan Koch? [12:53] Si senor [12:53] DebolazW: Great!

[12:58] JesusMcCloud: I'm sure there is... I'm still looking [12:58] OldOneEye: probably easier to just reinstall rather than try and carve the guff out, you could search software centre for the word 'unity' and select them all for removal [12:58] how do i disable the kde screenreader in 12.04 please? i'm using xfce and some kde programs and this has been included in them with their dependenceis [12:59] TJ-, but what you said makes sense. on my laptop it was always disabled until i used a bt mouse ONCE. after that it was always on [12:59] how i uninstall from command prompt [12:59] OldOneEye: sudo apt-get purge foo [12:59] OldOneEye: sudo apt-get remove `dpkg -l | grep unity | awk {'print $2'}` [12:59] JesusMcCloud: Check your ~/blueman/blueman.cfg file ... maybe there's something in there?

A while ago I stumbled across a network diagnostic tool that was kind of like traceroute, but it had better capabilities. I forget what it was now. Does anyone know what it might be? [13:51] arabi: may be easier to just use a browser extention [13:51] arabi yes, install it and use it in a terminal [13:51] dsnyders: nmap (or Zenmap for GUI) [13:51] how can i install and download videos @ Monkey [13:51] i am new to linux ... :( [13:52] arabi: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl [13:52] i am installing it [13:52] after that what i have to do [13:53] arabi and then: youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_14L7avDMEo or whatever you like [13:53] arabi: read "man youtube-dl" [13:53] ok [13:53] can i resume the downloads [13:53] ?/ [13:53] man means manual right??

[13:55] is there any mechanism that the linux will only boot on the spesific machine? [13:55] not on other machine even the hardisk is migrate [13:57] kurtwp_, nmap is nice, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I finally found it again: mtr (my traceroute) is what I was looking for. I'll be keeping nmap handy though. [13:57] dsnyders: thats Matts Trace route [13:57] tcptraceroute is cool too [13:58] hey guys, I wanna predefine devices in the main.conf file, like we used to do it in hcid.conf, but the format is changed and I am confused...

[13:58] must be an ubuntu thing [13:58] it's matts traceroute on anthing else [13:59] fishsponge: i think he tab failed [13:59] SolarisBoy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_(software) [13:59] ' It was started as a clone for the popular Matt's Traceroute (hence MTR) ' [13:59] ThinkT510, i agree :-) [13:59] broken link [14:00] ahh renamed [14:00] Hi, I just restarted my machine and after the login loader appears, I get an error "/var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority could not be loaded" and the only option is "Log Out". Clicking this just makes it wait for 30 seconds before doing th same thing again. I'm on via irssi atm, no easy access to Google, etc. [14:00] SolarisBoy: some terminals don't like the close paren at the end [14:00] true [14:00] Pici: nor does xchat [14:00] or finch [14:02] SolarisBoy, Wikipedia says that it was Matt's traceroute, but another programmer has taken over maintenance and has renamed it. [14:02] (10:00:25) IRC: ahh renamed [14:02] usr13: I'm aware. However, the option is not even present, nor does the m key toggle anything. This is my usual approach for muting issues, but for whatever reason in openbox the option is not there [14:02] LastVagrant, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [14:02] Stevethepirate: mv ~/.ICEauthority ~/.ICEauthority.old [14:02] usr13: hence my appeals to amixer [14:03] stupid question.. I know how to use ntfs-3g to mount a Windows drive from console.. But how do I mount a Linux ext3 drive to a folder? using system resuce [14:03] usr13: attempted that, with no victory. [14:03] rypervenche: morning [14:03] Oh wait, ~/.ICEauthority?? [14:03] econdudeawesome: alsamixer [14:03] Why would it read that file in my home directory? (this is before I've even got the login box to put my username & password in) [14:03] myk_robinson: much the same way but without specifying the -t as ntfs-3g or the other related 3g options which may be there [14:03] BluesKaj, done, no output. [14:04] mount /dev/sdX /path/to/folder || if it's an ext3 that should work fine [14:04] econdudeawesome: Open a terminal, issue command alsamixer [14:04] ofcourse with sudo if your not the root user myk_robinson [14:04] econdudeawesome: Right or left arrows to move from channel to channel, the m key to toggle mute/un-mute, Up and Down arrows to raise or lower volume. [14:04] usr13: Yes, alsamixer. I've used it. Doesn't work, that is what my previous comment reference. I'm fully and completely familiar with alsamixer [14:04] SolarisBoy: thank you [14:05] usr13: I'm asking about the program "amixer" [14:05] myk_robinson: yw [14:05] usr13: they are different programs [14:05] i was using mnt instead of the word mount [14:05] =) [14:05] LastVagrant_, good , now do, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid [14:05] econdudeawesome: Use alsamixer, (I just told you how to use it). [14:05] myk_robinson: my zsh would have fixed it hehe [14:05] usr13: the mute option is not available in alsamixer for whatever reason under OpenBox [14:05] did you mean mount? lolz [14:05] usr13: hence hte reason I want to give amixer a try [14:06] JesusMcCloud: I've just used d-feet (Dbus introspection) on the session bus, and found we can use a dbus to control blueman applet [14:06] usr13: I've used alsamixer for 7 years now, fully familiar with its capabilities. But amixer is a new beast to me [14:06] BluesKaj: I get the essid of my wireless network [14:06] econdudeawesome: If alsamixer doesn't work neither will amixer. Open alsamixer and see if your sound card is properly identified in the upper left corner. [14:07] usr13: identified [14:07] pyuic4 returns error RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 to v8.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.1 any idea? [14:07] econdudeawesome: (If alsamixer does not work, your problem is more systemic than just changing volume...) [14:07] LastVagrant_, now try to connect with network manager [14:08] usr13: why would things be fine and dandy in Gnome, but die in OpenBox?

[14:09] BluesKaj: I cannot see network manager. [14:09] econdudeawesome: I don't know. But does alsamixer identify your sound card correctly? (In other words, it says the same as what is in the output of /sbin/lspci |grep udio ). [14:09] is there an easy way to change the background highlight in terminal for such things as shared folders? it makes it hard to read for me, i would like colors, just not the highlight background [14:10] pyuic4 returns error RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 to v8.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.1 any idea?

[14:47] econdudeawesome: You mean it was muted all the time? (I asked you if there were muted channels, with mm at the bottom)..... Wow... Really? [14:48] ActionParsnip: got it working now--used alsamixergui's unmute option. Why would alsamixer not have the ability to mute/unmute? [14:48] miniuser: Remove "quiet splash" and add "single" to the kernel command line [14:49] econdudeawesome: I don't know, but I *asked* you if you saw mm at the bottom of any channels. You said no. ????? [14:49] usr13: precisely. mm was not on any of the channels. Very weird, IMO. [14:49] miniuser: then issue "runlevel X" [14:49] usr13: even though it was clearly just muted. [14:49] econdudeawesome: That IS wierd.

[14:50] miniuser: yeah... I think you can put the runlevel you want on the kernel command line as well [14:50] econdudeawesome: Run alsamixer again and see if m does anything. [14:50] econdudeawesome: ... just out of curiosity ..... [14:50] usr13: not a thing [14:50] econdudeawesome: Still cant'? [14:50] usr13: nope. [14:50] hummm... Something about openbox is a *lot* different I guess. I don't know. .... [14:51] Thanks ActionParsnip !!! [14:51] usr13: I've never had this problem with OpenBox before. Weird tho [14:51] usr13, ActionParsnip: how do I go about writing up a bug report then? [14:51] usr13: I try :) [14:51] econdudeawesome: ActionParsnip Yea, I'd like to know what that is all about.... [14:52] ActionParsnip: Can I PM you? [14:52] usr13: sure [14:52] usr13, ActionParsnip: *how* do I writeup a bug report then? [14:52] ActionParsnip: Sorry, I meant econdudeawesome [14:52] sure usr13 [14:52] I frequently get "extra" crash reports on Ubuntu 12.04. Sometimes I'm not doing anything at all, or something I've been doing for half an hour, and crash reports just pop up. I also get one on almost every startup, but I only have one program running at startup, Conky, and it always runs fine. [14:52] econdudeawesome: Can I PM you? [14:52] usr13: yes [14:53] And it won't let me access the crash logs. [14:53] Relondo: what are you using for hardware and drivers [14:53] bye [14:53] Relondo: there may be one 'stuck' that isn't being removed so it tries to report it again and again [14:53] i use to get those messages all the time but when i went back two versions on nvidia drivers they went away [14:53] Lost_Cause: Do you want a list of all of my hardware? [14:53] how i know in my video card the perfomance ? [14:54] Relondo: no more just what your graphics card and what you are using for drivers [14:54] TJ-: Same thing happens on my brother's comuter, though. And our computers are different brands, and have none of the same hardware. [14:54] Relondo: Not sure then... check the system log files for clues I'd suggest [14:54] Lost_Cause: I have a Radeon graphics card, and I'm using a proprietary driver. [14:55] TJ-: Where are the logs? [14:55] Relondo: then it wasn't the same issue that i had, sorry [14:55] Relondo: /var/log/ ... you can use "Log file viewer" to see them in the GUI [14:55] Lost_Cause: Alright. [14:55] .

[15:43] Does PPA have anything to do with the software center at all [15:43] Odra no [15:43] Odra: not necessarily [15:43] thks a lot for qmv ! [15:43] Wtf [15:44] Odra: ppas use the package manager tools [15:44] roberto_: its handy [15:44] But I want to know how complete an app has to be to get past the review board [15:44] Odra in short: what you want is simply not possible [15:44] * Dr_Willis wonders what review bord [15:44] MonkeyDust: But there is pacman in there [15:44] Odra make it available somewhere, so people can test it [15:45] bluenemo, I know how to see the contents of my hosts file but I don't know how to tell if my hostname in /etc/hostname is considered fully qualified or not.

[15:45] Odra: that's your answer [15:46] Odra i'm not familiar with google code, but now you can hope someone picks it up and likes it -- maybe it will be accepted in the repos [15:46] put your software in a ppa. get people to test it. link to the ppa from the google code site [15:46] T___T [15:46] Why so complicated [15:46] Odra: if it has basic functionality and doesn't break often then it may be able to make it into the software center [15:46] Odra security [15:47] Odra: its not complex at all.

[15:52] I setup an Ubuntu VM inside Ubuntu, I configured port forwarding in vbox for ssh to forward port 2222 to 22 then ran "ssh -lusername -p2222 localhost" and get a connection refused error. When I do -vvv for debugging I don't get much useful info. Am I doing this right?

[17:02] david__, there is also #PinguyOS only 14 users you never know you might get help there. === matt_ is now known as Guest34520 [17:02] NuSuey: mmm ... logout and choose gnome no effect [17:03] thank you wilee-nilee [17:03] is 12.04 the recommended version for running a webserver on ubuntu-server? [17:03] david__, no problem that OS is a nice setup, but the support is small, is all. [17:03] WHAT_UP: its lts. so sure [17:04] Lebby: that will be much worse.. [17:04] NuSuey: try it to check if compiz is the problem ... [17:04] Lebby, MINT is not supported here. get mintsupport for that [17:04] Lebby: http://i49.tinypic.com/23kepfp.png [17:04] !mintsupport | Lebby NuSuey [17:04] Lebby NuSuey: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:05] can you guys help me with ruby script, or is there a support channel for that on this network [17:05] MindBomb: perhaps #ruby [17:05] ubottu: i was thinking about installing ubuntu today.. but the issues would be the same.. so.. if i get it to work i may reinstall finaly [17:05] bazhang: c'mon ... be flexible ... Ubuntu and Linux comunity is born to help people ;) [17:05] NuSuey: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:05] indeed :) [17:05] thanks [17:05] ah.. [17:05] Lebby, feel free to join him in that support channel [17:06] bazhang: i was thinking about installing ubuntu today.. but the issues would be the same.. so.. if i get it to work i may reinstall finaly [17:06] NuSuey: what issues? [17:06] the issues which im talking about with Lebby [17:06] NuSuey, come back when you do. its mintsupport as you are using MINT now [17:06] bazhang: jesus christ.. you need to be a dick now? [17:06] usr13: You asked did I test? Test for what? [17:07] need help with ubuntu. can someone help? [17:07] it's freaking ubuntu [17:07] justin__: details will help [17:07] what the.. [17:07] bazhang: you're in right ... but this not right way to help people ... [17:07] NuSuey, that is for MINT support NOT here. [17:08] do you realy think it's hard to reinstall another distro and have ubuntu installed? I HAD IT INSTALLED.. i had the same issues.. [17:08] I opened miniclip in chrome, and noted that compiz started using almost 60% of cpu [17:08] till now i thought that good people are in here. jesus.. but if people like you bazhang are resonsible for the ubuntu community.. then f..k ubuntu.. [17:09] yes, because flash is cpu hog aka no GPU acceleration [17:09] NuSuey, thats enough. and stop with the cursing [17:09] im not so clever.. in ubuntu.. have no such experience like the people here do.. [17:09] justin__: miniclip does what? if you dont use miniclip the cpu load stays low? [17:10] miniclip is asite that hosts flash game. [17:11] Ubuntu community is awesome like forum, support, filosophy , etc. like other linux community ... [17:11] justin__: so its only an issue when you are on flash heavy sites? [17:11] justin__, closed source isn't supported by Ubuntu community but I can just say one thing: Flash Player on Linux has no acceleration whatsoever. [17:11] hey guys... i'm compiling a kernel.. is there anyway to put a driver there? [17:12] YokoBR: Enable it in the .config [17:12] yes [17:12] NuSuey: with effects disabled you have same issues? [17:12] I have been working on setting up an ubuntu workstation the last week. Today I did an update through apt, and when I try to login to gnome it kills the systems load.... [17:12] TJ, i mean a wireless device driver [17:12] it's a pci wireless card driver [17:12] Lebby: i posted the screenshot.. http://i49.tinypic.com/23kepfp.png .. even worse.. [17:12] it's not listed there [17:12] I am using automount and NFS for homedirectories, and I have ldap setup for authentication. If I change the WM to awesome instead of gnome, it doesn't not have this issue [17:13] Is anyone else seeing these issues? [17:13] ^ on 12.04 [17:13] Lebby: something is being added to no effects thing.. every logon.. [17:13] YokoBR: All the kernel drivers are enabled using settings in the .config, which are drawn from the Kconfig files for each sub-system [17:13] NuSuey: sorry ... i missed it :/ [17:13] YokoBR: If you just want to build a driver as a module outside the kernel you can do that [17:13] TJ, sure, but i want to add a new driver there [17:14] NuSuey: are you seeing extreme lag when logging into gnome as well? [17:14] NuSuey: mmm ... i give up ...i don't know how to solve this issue ... [17:14] TJ, yes, that is what i want [17:14] digitalirony: nope [17:14] NuSuey: sorry ... i tried ... and I failed :/ [17:14] TJ, build a kernel module of that driver to add to my distro === aaaas is now known as aaas [17:15] Lebby: doesn't matter.. you are awesome..for trying to help .. [17:15] Anyone speaks Hungarian here? [17:15] !hr | hex20dec [17:15] hex20dec: Odgovarajuci kanal za Hrvatski jezik je #ubuntu-hr, molimo Vas da se pridruzite tom kanalu ukoliko trebate pomoc za Ubuntu, hvala. Croatian language support in #ubuntu-hr [17:16] YokoBR: module-assistant package is possibly what you want [17:16] Beszélek franciául [17:16] tj, but i'm building a kernel for another computer, not mine [17:17] tj, i just need to compile and add to the distro that will run on that computer === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest40711 [17:17] YokoBR: As long as you have the kernel-headers (include files) for the kernel version you are building the module for, that's enough [17:18] Anyone have any ideas? Logging into gnome from lightdm/gdm just hangs. Logging into awesome is nearly instant. This started today after doing apt-get upgrade to update system. I am not sure what is the cause, I just see the load spike very high, and it sits there. Does not appear to be CPU load. I do see some IO, but I can't seem to find what is the cause of the IO [17:19] TJ, i have. My problem is that my computer has a dlink dwa-525 wireless pci adapter and a quadro nvidia 2000, and both are set as unknown devices [17:20] TJ, so as i am building a custom distro, with a custom kernel, i would like to add support to them [17:20] digitalirony: Look at ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and find the dates that match the time you did the updated, (should be a clue...). [17:21] I know when I did the update [17:21] I did it today [17:21] digitalirony: Good, take a look at the list and see... [17:21] usr13: it was an update to gnome === aaaas is now known as aaas [17:21] precise pangolin, radeon hd 4650; trying to force ST3 Texture compression. installed DRIconf 0.9.1. clicked on "image quality tab". I have NO option to Enable S3TC Textures. any ideas? [17:22] what is the difference between "daily" and "daily-live"? [17:22] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current [17:22] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily/current [17:22] usr13: nah, thats no help at all. I have lots of files i have since modified in there trying to 'fix' gnome [17:24] roadfish: daily is the text mode installer, daily-live is the live cd [17:24] are there "non-live" ISOs? is that something to only install Ubuntu but you can't use it as a "Live" CD? [17:25] roadfish: yes the daily are not live cds [17:25] trism: ok, thanks. So I guess average person would find daily-live more useful. [17:25] digitalirony: You can also run top on a secure shell (from another PC) as you log out and back in again. [17:25] YokoBR: In which case, in the source-directory of the module, all you should need do is "make modules_prepare" then "make M=../" [17:25] !alternate | roadfish [17:25] roadfish: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [17:25] roadfish, the alt cd === website is now known as thomas [17:26] <|Frederik> How do you report a bug in launchpad without using apport? [17:26] digitalirony: Or htop [17:26] after that where do i have to throw the compiled modules ? [17:26] usr13: yes, I know that....I can see the load spike, like I said its not CPU load. and it doesn't really show what is 'stuck' [17:26] perhaps that was poorly phrased. How to force ST3 Texture compression without using driconf? [17:26] digitalirony: Maybe you can just switch back and forth from tty6 & 7 [17:27] When my lap heats up, my screen starts flickering and the system shuts down (in ubuntu), this does not happen in windows which is installed in a dual boot setup. Can anyone help? [17:27] YokoBR: Put them under /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/ then run "depmod" [17:27] digitalirony: or /var/log/syslog [17:27] usr13: sure, but that doesn't resolve the issue, and yeah, nothing being logged that I can see [17:27] digitalirony: tail /var/log/syslog ..... [17:28] I've been having trouble with a new 3TB harddrive and a fresh Ubuntu install. I install (as GPT) and the install looks ok. But then get GRUB "error: out of disk" after reboot. I have an October 2011 PC with updated BIOS and I _do_ see the 3TB. [17:28] tj, okay, but since i'll do that for another computer, i may just throw them there, and when i'll try to install that, it should do it right? [17:28] google searches haven't been to helpful so far. [17:28] |Frederik: all explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs but you should really use ubuntu-bug unless you have a good reason not to (since you will likely be asked to collect information for the bug with it later) [17:29] When my lap heats up, my screen starts flickering and the system shuts down (in ubuntu), this does not happen in windows which is installed in a dual boot setup. Can anyone help? [17:29] has anyone seen GRUB trouble when installing on 3TB harddrives? [17:29] digitalirony: Have you inspected the log files for clues? I find looking at which were most recently touched useful with "ls -ltr /var/log/" [17:29] YokoBR: As long as the ARCH and VERSION match, and you run depmod on the target machine so it learns about the new modules [17:30] sure they'll mach. TJ. Thank you! [17:30] roadfish: have you tried installing grub again and updating it? sudo grub-install; sudo update-grub ? [17:31] <|Frederik> trism: I don't want to deal with this software, I have all necessary info + a patch, so I just want to submit it to launchpad [17:31] <|Frederik> I simply cannot find a link in launchpad which sends me to a form where I can file a new bug [17:31] |Frederik: There's a "Report a bug" link on the top-right of the bug search/results page usually on launchpad [17:31] |Frederik: not really a good reason, you can still do: ubuntu-bug package_name; and add your info + patch [17:32] |Frederik: top right of this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [17:32] <|Frederik> TJ-: that link brings me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [17:32] TJ-: which redirects you (this is explained on the ReportingBugs page) [17:33] L3top: I guess I could try that. So I would have to install GRUB from an older Ubuntu install? [17:33] Not for me it doesn't [17:33] It takes me to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [17:33] <|Frederik> ok found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect [17:33] roadfish: I assumed that it dropped you to grub rescue prompt [17:33] not open .idb file in wine [17:34] TJ-: well it redirects most people [17:34] trism: Must be because I'm a bug-control member [17:36] My buddies! [17:36] I just got ubuntu :D [17:37] Hey [17:37] Alright. [17:37] aleaxet55: Welcome aboard! :) [17:37] Need help with anything? [17:37] not open .idb file in wine [17:38] actually.. I just installed Dungeons of Dredmore via steam via wine, no sound.. === Pricey is now known as PriceChild [17:38] aleaxet55: Do you have sound from other sources? [17:38] aleaxet55: Or have you tried yet? [17:39] Not yet [17:39] L3top: yes, it dropped me to grub rescue prompt. Ok, so I can install GRUB from this prompt. [17:39] aleaxet55: open a terminal and type alsamixer [17:40] sound works fine in OS and steam. Just not the game [17:40] aleaxet55: ... and hit enter. Look particularly at master and pcm. See that they are not muted or turned down. (Muted channels will have mm at bottom). [17:40] roadfish: You may see the full 3 TiB within linux, but your BIOS doesn't. [17:40] i got a problem with "chmod +x filename" the premissions wont change after that command without an error msg [17:40] dileep, you need visual studio in wine, to open .idb files and wineHQ says visual studio in wine is garbage >> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=892 [17:40] so TJ- this is what I found: [17:41] roadfish: And your BIOS may be up to date, but it's still buggy :) === aaaas is now known as aaas [17:41] http://pastebin.com/q3mApXW5 [17:42] Jordan_U: hmm, my BIOS is 2012. And I did see someone else talk about using a 3TB harddrive. But it's best to not make any assumptions. [17:42] if i try to change it through the gui i can change the permissions but they will flip back [17:42] hey guys, I have a problem. I installed windows XP on a computer that was dual boot before. After the install I wasn't able to load ubuntu, so I installed grub again via live CD and now when I chose the OS, (windows is there) it wont let me boot into it, even though the option for the OS is there. How can I fix it? [17:42] It looks like there are some issues with timeouts of some sort, not sure, maybe an NFS/automount issue. It seems to work fine for bash sessions, and for other window managers [17:42] roadfish: You can work around this by making a separate /boot partition near the beginning of the drivete (note that this is *not* the same as the BIOS Boot Partition). === Caspercom_ is now known as Caspercom [17:43] Jordan_U: ok, sounds like something good to search on. thanks. [17:43] roadfish: Grub works fine with 3+ TiB drives, as long as the firmware supports them properly. You can also use grub's native disk drivers, but creating a separate /boot partition is easier. [17:43] aleaxet55: You'll probably need to look at their forums and see if you find others with those issues. [17:43] roadfish: You're welcome. [17:44] Hello, I'm having problem with 12.04 desktop installation... I cant pass Welcome screen (language select) - keyboard and mouse are not working (they are working just cannot click anything), any idea? [17:44] i just find out that i can not change the permissions of files on one partition of mine. can this be because of ntfs? [17:44] aleaxet55: You might also check to see if your getting anything from the headphones port. [17:44] hey guys, I have a problem. I installed windows XP on a computer that was dual boot before. After the install I wasn't able to load ubuntu, so I installed grub again via live CD and now when I chose the OS, (windows is there) it wont let me boot into it, even though the option for the OS is there. How can I fix it? I have 11.04 [17:45] Andy2113: How did you install grub, and what happens when you select the Windows entry? [17:45] !grub | Andy2113 [17:45] Andy2113: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [17:45] thex [17:46] usr13: Yea, thought so. I just came on to check out the chat, troubleshooting little problems as they show up. So far I've been liking ubuntu a lot, learned how to use multiple workspaces effectively, I don't think I can go back to windows now. [17:46] aleaxet55: Yea, most of us are hooked right from the start. :) [17:47] Jordan_U- I installed grub again via terminal on the HDD partition where ubuntu was installed. After I rebooted I had the grub OS selection screen and just used ubuntu, just now I tried to boot in windows and it was a black screen with text I can't remember, but something along the lines of mounting the hdd [17:47] gopostal: Yes, ntfs doesn't support permissions the same way that most *NIX filesystems do. http://b.andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/permissions.html gives a good overview of the issues. [17:48] Jordan_U, oke thanks [17:48] Andy2113: The exact error message would be helpful, if needed you can take a picture of the screen with a camera. [17:48] gopostal: You're welcome. === hillshum_ is now known as Hillshum [17:48] Andy2113: Please also run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt which it produces. [17:48] !bootinfo | Andy2113 [17:48] Andy2113: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [17:49] Jordan_U, that would be possible, but I would have to restard. Would you be able to help after I come back with the info? === Guest is now known as Pooky [17:49] Andy2113: I'll still be here.

[18:32] hi [18:32] as far as I know Jordan_U has an answer thiugh [18:32] wilee-nilee:none of my windows have the exit minimize expand bar thign at the top [18:33] dylan: complzconfig settings mnager -->effects --> window decoration [18:33] Jordan_U, It says "E: Unable to locate package boot-info-script" [18:33] complzconfig???

If it isn't installed, you should be offered to install it. [18:40] dylan: What did you do? Install something related to compiz? What desktop environment is this? Unity? KDE? [18:40] jazzkovsky: yes I have it open, and I unchecked window decoration. It did nothing but pull up all my minimized window and freeze my cursor for a minute === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top [18:41] dylan. strange. If that is checked, you should have the "X" and the minimize/maximize icons ... [18:42] also, everytime I start my computer I get a message about an internal error in the package "aptdaemon 0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu2" [18:42] it also appears every few minutes [18:42] Andy2113: Follow the directions @ http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [18:46] dylan: I can only scond the question of VirtualBlackness. What shell are you using. Unity? [18:46] when copying a large file to an external USB drive copying hangs at the end, the same happens with the cp command, where should I report this?

[18:50] L3top:jazzkovsky: I dunno, I installed Bladurs Gate II in wine, but that's pretty much all I've done lately [18:50] Bladurs Gate, eh? Sounds smelly! [18:51] dylan: did you have the minimize/maximize icons before? [18:52] jazzkovsky: Yeah, it had only happened once before that, and they came back in a minute or two [18:52] dylan: and the box "Window decoration" in copizconfig manager is checked now? [18:52] I'm at the end of a line in vim, having just switched from command mode to insert mode. the cursor is on the last character. I type, and the newly inserted characters are inserted /before/ the last characters. Is there a way to append to the end of a line without pushing the last character out with the cursor?

[18:53] jazzkovsky:L3top: they just came back when I turned window decoration back on. [18:53] i understand that this resizes all images in a folder(convert -resize 750×500 *.jpg)....... another website says to use (find . -iname "*.jpg" | xargs -l -i convert -resize 800x600 {} ../small/{} ) which is obviously a lot longer.. whats the difference? [18:53] dylon. good. that should do it. [18:53] moxieman: 'a' rather than 'i'. [18:54] thx Jordan_U [18:54] My computer has no monitor. How do I change the default desktop environment from Gnome/Unity to KDE without being able to see the GDM login menu? (My computer automatically logs into my account for me) [18:54] tech1: the first command uses shell expansion, so the "*.jpg" gets replaced in place by the list of files before convert is invoked. The second gets the list of all files first and invokes convert one time for each file. [18:54] moxieman: You're welcome. I highly recommend running "vimtutor". [18:55] dylan: it's rather strange that the icons vanished,but at lest now you know how tobring them back ;) [18:55] mdh: If you explicitly log out then you should get back to the login screen. [18:55] mdh: If you have no monitor, than you can't use a DE [18:55] Jordan_U, If I explicitly log out, it kills my VNC session and I have no way to see. [18:55] mdh: Sorry, I missed the "no monitor" part. Why does your computer not have a monitor? [18:55] thanks elgaton. i see that the process of listing is different then... but functionally.. does it affect the output in any way? [18:56] Jordan_U, The computer does not have a monitor because I manage it with SSH and VNC to control desktop stuff [18:57] hi guys, i'm not sure if this is a bug. when i write #!/bin/bash \ exit 101 into /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d and make it 766, i get for example for installing openssh-server: invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of stop.

[18:58] hello [18:58] !bluetooth [18:58] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:58] Jordan_U, I still wasn't able to get the boot info script to run, but I rebooted the PC and tried to boot into windows again, and (since the grub screen is kind of cut off) this is as much of the error message as I could get [18:58] when i then ps aux for ssh get sshd -D, which can be killed via service stop ssh === Rajesh is now known as Guest14438 [18:58] tech1: in this case, no; in other cases, yes.

The 4,1 has nvidia GPU, I'm surprised you got that far. ;-) I had nothing but bad luck with early 2008. [19:27] Lost_Cause: is that a console client or does it have a GUI?

On the C Drive, I have Windows 7. On the D Drive, I have Ubuntu 12.04. When I boot up my laptop, the Windows Boot Launcher loads. When I select Ubuntu in the Windows Boot Launcher, it switches over to the D Drive and boots up the GRUB booter. Is there any way I can replace the Windows Boot Loader with the Burg boot launcher, getting rid of GRUB on the D drive as well? [19:43] amr_: live usb setups are best for testing and light ussage [19:43] amr_: 8gb can work [19:43] Problem sound, Lubutnu 12.04 sound not working at all 00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Gateway 2000 Device 0301 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17 Memory at d0503400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: snd_atiixp Kernel modules: snd-atiixp [19:44] I work on it alrady [19:44] savio: build one from the linux-next kernel tree [19:44] the problem now is when I add new user beside the live user I can't open the system at all [19:44] savio: than you're bleeding edge [19:44] adee how am i being a troll?

The screen when booting into ubuntu for the first time says "optimal resolution is 1024x1280" and nothing else. How do I change my resolution to the correct size? Or do I have to install drivers? etc.. [19:44] amr_: try the console see if they can login there [19:45] Also, I tried xrandr, but I don't think I was doing it right... [19:45] how?

[19:46] savio: I don't know, but that's now what I wrote... [19:46] shazbotm1nasty: grub has some settings in /etc/default/grub to select the grub menu res. if thats making it look funny when it boots. does the system work after it does boot up? [19:46] Hmm.. Still nothing. Should i be mashing space before or after selecting install from here? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/SDC10059.JPG [19:46] Dr_Willis: I am not using grub, wubi set it up with windows boot loader.

[19:50] as of right now I can't [19:51] L3top: ATI IXP not muted [19:51] the funny thing is that it seems like there is something in my system referring to ia32-libs [19:51] adee: no issue man [19:51] just kidding [19:51] salman: ac97 or mc97 [19:51] my system just freeze when start to create the live user at each system start up [19:52] L3top where do see that?

[19:52] salman: alsamixer card/chip top left [19:53] elgaton: not a chance [19:53] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [19:53] L3top this is all it says [19:53] ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 : Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 but it is not going to be installed [19:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1136799/ [19:53] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [19:53] stueng: installed driver. rebooting. [19:53] how do you run programs that use java????? [19:54] elgaton: when I try to do sudo apt-get upgrade -f [19:54] brennan: java -jar , in general [19:54] salman: if you press f6 what are teh two options [19:54] elgaton: nothing happens [19:54] salman: other than "default" [19:54] elgaton, in the terminal? [19:54] brennan: Yes [19:54] elgaton: also I can install other packages without receiving this msg [19:54] L3top: ATI IXP and ATI IXP Modem [19:55] so something is wrong with that ia32-libs multiarch package [19:55] ok salman... I just wanted to make sure that alsa wasnt using the modem === mh0 is now known as \h [19:55] I have google this thing to death and nothing, so if anyone has a fix for this please point me in the right direction [19:55] spartan2276: have you added any custom repos? [19:56] salman speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0 does this produce sound? [19:56] DR_Willis: running ubiquity -d from the terminal. once i get to the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" window where you select whether or not to download the updates/3rd party software, i choose to do neither, and hit continue. a window pops up with "The installer has detected taht the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda. Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? … etc" [19:56] elgaton: no what are those repositories [19:56] hi i have an issue with vpnc on 12.04. after i boot i dont see the vpn connections in the dropdown from the systray. i have to disable/enable the interface. anyone know a more permanent fix? [19:56] elgaton, it said unable to access jar file [19:56] how do i cube the workspace switcher [19:56] brennan: Which software are you trying to run?

[19:57] spartan2276: Never mind. You said "nothing happens" if you run "sudo apt-get install -f"? Nothing of nothing? [19:57] I am on ubuntu 12 on live flash drive, when I add new user I can't logint to the system now, any advices?!!!!!!!!! [19:57] L3top: no and i get an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1136806/ [19:58] salman: are you playing audio on something [19:58] elgaton: yes nothing at all because there are no actual broken packages on my system that msg only comes up when trying to install the ia32-libs [19:58] salman: clearly you cant hear it... but the card is held by something... if you are not actively playing something, this is likely the root of the problem. We need to figure out what is tying that hw channel [19:59] adee: That actully made my day. Thank you very much!! [19:59] L3top: well im on youtube but no sound. should i try again with yt closed? [19:59] amr_: tone down the use of !!!! may help get you less ignored.. [19:59] elgaton, is that enough info? [19:59] yes salman. We need to have NOTHING attempting to address that card [19:59] how do you get the ubuntu desktop to cube [19:59] brennan: open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin", let the plugin install, restart the browser and go to http://www.drakensang.com/ [20:00] what's the best/most widely used charting library for PHP? [20:00] thanks elgaton [20:00] my bad wrong channel [20:00] Loseyourgod666: webupd8 and the omgubuntu blog sites had some guides on using unity and the cube togerther [20:00] brennan: You're welcome [20:01] L3top: Nothing is using the card and i am getting that error. is there a process i should kill? [20:01] Dr_Willis: I've now attempted both, and both just leave me hanging [20:01] thank you dr.willis [20:01] elgaton, your really smart [20:01] We will have to investigate salman. Lets logoff, and log back in... then try that command again. [20:01] Should it be on this screen that i'm pressing f6 to get nomodeset? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/SDC10059.JPG as that just gives me a blank screen for a while.. [20:01] swskillman: both what? === miwa_ is now known as miwa [20:02] spartan2276: OK, let's try a "manual override"... try to use "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386" [20:02] brennan: Thanks [20:02] before returning to the same screen. I wonder if there's some menu or something appearing off screen or something? [20:03] Dr_Willis: sorry, running ubiquity -d after hitting continue on the preparint to install ubuntu screen gives an option to unmount /dev/sda [20:03] if i install bleeding edge kernel in my lucid is that make system unstable [20:03] elgaton: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [20:03] gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 : Depends: libsoup-gnome2.4-1:i386 (>= 2.27.4) but it is not going to be installed [20:03] but both yes and no just lead to it hanging after the choice [20:03] L3top: can i have that command again? [20:04] spartan2276: Just repeat with "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 libsoup-gnome2.4-1:i386" [20:04] spartan2276: (every time you encounter a new package which is not going to be installed, add it to the end of the line and repeat) [20:04] swskillman: i got no other ideas sorry. unless the logs say somthing [20:04] where do the logs show up? i'm getting no output [20:04] swskillman: in the users home or /var/log [20:05] spartan2276: Have you previously added then disabled any PPAs or other repositories? [20:05] lol salman quit now [20:05] TJ-:I'm not sure [20:06] I think I disabled the Gnome 3.4 repositories [20:06] L3top: What was that sound test again? [20:07] Dr_Willis: looks like no luck. though i'm getting 100% cpu usage in grub_mount (from top) [20:07] spartan2276: What usually causes this is: you add a PPA or such, install newer packages from that repository than are in the Ubuntu archive, then disable that PPA. Later, when another package declares dependencies on particular versions of other packages some of them can't be satisfied since the system already has newer versions from the now-disabled PPA installed [20:07] How can i pair my bluetooth headset in ubuntu? bluez-test-discovery shows a phone but Doesn't show my headphones [20:08] speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0 Salman_ [20:09] Salman_: People have just arrived, sorry... I am going to be afk [20:09] Having a particularly large amount of trouble trying to symlink some directories. I have a app/ directory with a large number of files and directories/subdirectories in it, that I am trying to symlink to another app/ directory that is similar. How can I go about doing this? [20:09] TJ-: so there is no way to fix this? [20:09] Salman_: if it still shows as being held... that is what you need to investigate... what is holding it. [20:09] spartan2276: there is... but it's a hard slog [20:09] When I boot my computer, right before it gets to the login screen I get the message "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap/ is not present or is not ready yet. Continue waiting, press S to skip mounting or press M to attempt manual recovery." No matter what I do, the computer boots normally after about five seconds. [20:09] hello [20:10] TJ-: ok but the werid part is that I can install other packages without an issue and everything updates just fine [20:10] SnapSnap: check the /etc/fstab ? [20:10] anyone have knowledge on wine? the #winehg chat seems very quite. [20:10] quiet [20:10] spartan2276: if those other packages don't depend on the 'newer' ones, then it will be okay [20:10] gdebi is from gnome ,and for kde what is ? [20:11] spartan2276: this might aid you http://askubuntu.com/questions/112865/how-do-i-revert-all-packages-to-their-official-versions/112878#112878 [20:11] aguitel: gdevi will work in kde also [20:11] Dr_Willis: Sorry I know you're helping a lot of people at once here, but should I be hitting space / f6 before or after this to get the NOMODESET option? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/956557/SDC10059.JPG ? I've tried both to little avail. Hitting f6 actually ON that menu takes me to a blank screen which dissapears after a short while. [20:11] L3top: i heard no sounds from left or right [20:11] Dr_Willis: There's no folder "fstab" but there's an empty folder called "fstab.d" [20:11] anyone have knowledge on wine? the #winehg chat seems very quite. [20:11] Dr_Willis, ok [20:12] Dr_Willis: hmm, the empty partition i was hoping to install to isn't even showing up on sudo fdisk -l. maybe need to mount it first? [20:12] Salman: but you did not get an error? [20:12] spartan2276: I think I've found a GUI way for you to do it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5976/how-can-i-list-all-packages-ive-installed-from-a-particular-ppa [20:12] How do you reset the acl permissions to match the parent? [20:12] DanS: i cant see web sites - on my phone. i just tap space from when the bios ends till the screen shows.. [20:12] L3top: no [20:13] !fstab | SnapSnap [20:13] SnapSnap: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:13] So do you recomend blueman over bluez for bluetooth devices management? bluez has only comand line tools? [20:13] TJ-: thanks but that is way too complicated for me I think I will just re-install my entire OS from Scratch because at home I'm running the same version of Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and I don't have this issue [20:13] Salman: darn... that would have been easier to diagnose. Again... I have company and have to leave. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1136787/ is your aplay [20:13] spartan2276: this looks like even better: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29584/safely-remove-ppas-and-roll-back-to-stable-versions-in-ubuntu/ [20:14] Dr_Willis: Thanks [20:14] oh okay sorry. It's a the installer boot menu. It says "Run Ubuntu from this USB", "install ubuntu on a hard desc" "test memory" "boot from first hard disk" "help". The top two options lead to a black screen. and there's nothing in advanced options. [20:15] you know how there is github for windows with the good gui? Is there something similar for Linux/Ubuntu?

[20:23] yatta: hit ctrl-c to get out [20:23] yatta: A '\' at the end of a line tells the shell to keep reading another line, treating it as if it were the same line. [20:23] Mike9863: try pressing shift and caps lock together [20:23] like in python? [20:24] badabum: That doesn't seem to do anything [20:24] yatta: So 'ls\' on one line, followed by ' -l' on the next is equivalent to 'ls -l' (all on one line).

[20:27] mango: cp -r original_dir copy [20:27] Dr_Willis: so i killed that grub process, which immediately advanced the install to the next windo [20:28] Jordan_U: wouldn't he have to rename the dir and the files also? [20:28] Jordan_U, sorry for my poor explanation, but thanks that worked. [20:29] guess not [20:29] Mike9863: What is your desktop environment? [20:29] W4sp: GNOME.

I did the Google dance, but the results took me all around the houses abit. [21:05] hellooooooooooooooooooooooo [21:06] any body can help me please [21:06] I am on ubuntu 12 on live flash drive, when I add new user I can't logint to the system now, any advices?!!!!!!!!! === len is now known as Guest46643 [21:07] pencil, unless you have made a backup, you can generate a new one op http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [21:07] amr_: How did you add the new user? [21:07] normally from the system settings user section [21:08] new user on the flashdrive? [21:08] And what issues are you facing when you try and login? [21:08] how can I set up a PPPoE connection in ubuntu 12.04? I can't find a way in network-manager, using pppoeconf does not work (even with network-manager stopped). [21:08] yes this what I did and my system never start up [21:08] hi everyone, pardon me for asking this question, what is the channel for mint that provides support? [21:08] What errors do you get, amr_ ? [21:08] !mint [21:08] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:08] it freeze at the part where it try to generate/add/create the live user [21:09] ubuntu 12 live [21:09] thank you appreciate it..sorry for bothering [21:09] no errors but it never make it to the login screen [21:09] redheat, not on #freenode afaik [21:09] does the unity gui ubuntu uses have anything to do with the unity game engine? [21:09] tech1 no. [21:09] tech1: No. [21:10] ok [21:10] no [21:10] thank OerHeks, appreciate it.. [21:10] amr_: HOw big is your flash drive? [21:10] 8G [21:11] * ezoe solved the problem of NetworkManager doesn't manage the device. [21:11] amr_: Then I would recommend that you do a normal installation of Ubuntu to the flash drive, rather than using a persistent live installtion. [21:11] does this make a diff? [21:11] and how this will work with my current system win7 [21:12] amr_: Yes. Among other things a persistent Live 'installation" can't be properly upgraded. If you really want to use the system like a normal installation, you need to do a normal installation. [21:12] now I can boot my sys from my flash any where I go [21:13] amr_: You'll be able to do that with a normal installation to the flash drive as well. [21:13] folks, I'll give it a try around here, first of all does this channel offer support for Precise Pangolin? [21:13] can this normal installation goes fully on my flash drive ? [21:13] amr_: Yes. [21:13] so it will be a bootable full system from the flash dirve, great [21:13] how I could do this [21:14] amr_: The same way you install to an internal drive, but tell the installer to install to the flash drive. [21:15] redheat yes, this is the support channel for precise [21:15] ok the problem is like this, I'm running Precise Pangolin, and before that I was running Mint-13 cinnamon, and since Mint is based on Ubuntu and I'm having a similar problem across the spectrum..I thought I should ask around here first [21:15] thank you [21:16] redheat and the question is? [21:16] MonkeyDust, I have, like I said precise pangolin installed on my external harddrive which is attached to my HP Touchsmarttem tm2 that has Hybrid Graphic Cards, now I don't know what "mux" means, and I'm having a problem making the driver work, I mean the sys [21:17] the system is running fine without my video driver enabled, but the picture quality on some of the HD videos is bad, and so I was wondering if someone can help me with this issue..I just [21:18] I want to setup a new init.d service, but don't understand "Requierd-Start" values. E.g. nginx uses the following values: [21:18] need to know how to get my system work with a video driver, MonkeyDust [21:18] # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog [21:18] redheat mux most probably means multiplex [21:18] Are $local_fs predefined values in upstart or update-rc.d? I want to understand what they are good for [21:18] ok, and what's with the switchveroo? [21:19] mr_daniel: for making a new service. you should be using Upstart not the sysv stuff. its slowly being phased out. [21:19] my video card is HD Radeon 4550, it is supported like they posted on Ubuntu's website.. [21:20] okay great but what about the boot? [21:20] redheat unfortunately, i'm not familiar with such touchsmart [21:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [21:21] so is there a way to make my video card work as it should be? [21:22] is there a way to install ubuntu 12 on a flash drive and let it be bootable? [21:22] amr_: thats easy to do. I do it all the time. [21:22] install to the flash same as you would a HD.., be sure grub goes to the MBR of the flash. [21:22] great ,how? [21:22] Argh. [21:22] RyanP: are you on 32bit or 64 with your HP EliteBook? [21:23] exatly same as you install to a normal HD. Just make sure grub goes to the mbr of the flash [21:23] I type "java" ... it tells me to install openjdk-6-jre-headless. I install openjdk-6-jre-headless ... still no "java" command. [21:23] designbybeck: 64 [21:23] atoi: try opening a new terminal, or log out/back in, or try the 'rehash' command then see if its seen [21:23] I crashed one me when trying to install RyanP... going to try again [21:23] I logged in/out... [21:24] amr_, if I may go to pendrive linux.com grab the universal installer, and it's install it for you in a second on a flash drive, pardon me Dr_Willis.. [21:24] it was at the webcam part after you put in your username [21:24] there is no rehash command. [21:24] sorry, bad keyboard [21:24] amr_: you want a FULL normal install to usb or a Live install. [21:24] hey guys, i'm gettint the error "failed to load session gnome", while i have fluxbox installed === Dijo_ is now known as Dijo [21:24] if you logged out/back in then it should of rescanned the paths [21:24] so MonkeyDust, any workaround for my problem [21:25] redheat no, it's beyond my knowledge and experience, never saw anything similar [21:26] Please, i'm getting "failed to load session gnome" message.. I have fluxbox installed [21:26] YokoBR: you selected what session at the lightdm screen? [21:26] yeah, ok, no problem, thank you MonkeyDust and sorry for bothering,.. [21:26] how can I set up a PPPoE connection in ubuntu 12.04? I can't find a way in network-manager, using pppoeconf does not work (even with network-manager stopped). === Kryptik is now known as faggot [21:26] no, i get this message when i try to boot [21:27] YokoBR: boot to the text mode perhaps and see if you can trouble shoot it.. or try alt-ctrl-f1 to see if you can get to a console. === faggot is now known as off [21:27] YokoBR: you have auto login to the desktop enabled? === off is now known as Kryptik [21:27] Dr_Willies, yep. How can i change my session back to fluxbox? === Kryptik is now known as fu [21:28] YokoBR: edit your .dmrc perhaps is one way. [21:28] I cant install libcurl4 please help me. Here is the console output : http://pastebin.com/T6bcK6ex === fu is now known as Kryptic === Kryptic is now known as iodfioadfa [21:28] Fingers Crossed! 2nd attempt is farther than it was RyanP [21:28] YokoBR: or get to lightdm and select fluxbox. (sudo service lightdm restart) may give you time to change it. [21:30] YokoBR: if all else fails. edit the lightdm configs to disable auto login, so you get to lightdm [21:31] Dr_Willis, and what if i want to change it to xdm? [21:31] YokoBR: xdm just reads your .Xsession or .xinitrc i recall.. [21:31] YokoBR: may as well just boot to the console and use startx ;P [21:31] HI, Is there a better alternative to xampp on ubuntu? [21:31] !xampp [21:31] We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [21:31] lamp :P [21:31] If you have any dm installed, usually sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm lets you pick the default [21:31] Dr_Willis, okay.. Thank you [21:31] I cant install libcurl4 please help me. Here is the console output : http://pastebin.com/T6bcK6ex [21:32] pencil: you added debian repos to your system? [21:32] libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze2) but 7.22.0-3ubuntu4 is to be installed [21:32] I'm not asking for xampp support, I asked a simple question. But thanks anyway [21:33] fede: the answer is Lamp... [21:33] i am running ubuntu 12.04 i think i have messed up sources file [21:33] the only answer is lamp. :) [21:33] pencil: looks like they are messed up Badly if you are using Squeeze stuff.... [21:34] xampp and lampp are the same, I'm looking for others because I'm having troubles with lampp [21:34] !lamp [21:34] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:35] Here is my sources.list : http://pastebin.com/sEz3dfRi [21:35] Driver Question, I'm running 12.04 but had to upgrade to kernel 3.5 because of a serious bug. When I did that my webcam stopped working. lsusb shows "Microdia" which appears to be my webcam. Thoughts? [21:35] hi, please someone help me,,, i once installed ubuntu 10.4 but lost pass, so from windows 7 i deleted the ubuntu partition,,, now ive made a ubuntu 12.04 64 bit usb boot, and when i boot ubuntu from usb i get login prompt and password,,, i tried ubuntu as login and blank pass but i only get black screen for 0.5 ms and then login again [21:35] someone who know the anwser?\ [21:37] nur, those two cannot be related. If it's the live version intalled to USB it would have nothing to do with your previous installation. [21:37] I have win7 on my pc, I want to install ubutnu 12 on flash drive as bootable system, but I don't want to have dual menu , is this possible and how? [21:37] ok but why do i need to put login and pass [21:37] for a usb bootable version [21:37] Now we're cookin'! [21:37] pencil: like the first line mentions debian.... [21:37] i boot from usb and it ask login [21:37] That lil' sucker is FAST [21:37] systemd0wn [21:37] First time installing on a SSD [21:37] i dont understand i am running ubuntu 12.04 why cant i use debian? [21:38] pencil: debian is NOT ubuntu. [21:38] nur, I'm not entirely sure. Are you positive you deleted those partitions? [21:38] as enthralling as the blow by blow of your install is designbybeck, it is off topic here. [21:38] ye i deleted from diskmgmt.msc from windows 7 [21:38] pencil: if you want to use debian repos. then well.. go use debian. [21:38] Yes yes Sire L3top === jal_ is now known as JaL [21:38] Can you help me remove completely all apache and mysql packages and configurations? [21:38] i dont want to use debian [21:38] got a lil' to excited [21:38] amr_, So you want to run everything from the USB drive at all times? [21:38] so all of my files are debian files now? [21:38] yes [21:38] so i have to clean wipe the system [21:38] pencil: No idea.. You definatly DONT want the debian lines in your sources.list [21:38] systemd0wn: yes Sir [21:39] wow i hate amazon ec2 [21:39] how can i delete it permanantly? [21:39] amr_, nur, For all of my live drives I use this: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [21:39] i am going to cry in a corner now thanks guys [21:39] for the help! I have alot to do now [21:39] systemd0wn: i don't want to use a live drive I want a full installation on my flash [21:39] nur, if you need to delete the partitions they should be in your Disk Management [21:39] amr_: use 2 flash drives.. one with a live setup on it.. boot it.. full install to the 2nd flash drive. [21:40] amr_: or a cd.. or fancy virtualbox configuring... [21:40] yes i deleted it in disk management [21:40] now if i boot ubuntu from the usb [21:40] and run ubuntu from usb [21:40] i need to login [21:41] amr_, using this tool you can set it to save files to the drive. make sense? [21:41] nur, If I were you I would go into BIOS. DISABLE every boot device except your USB drive. [21:41] and then >\ [21:41] so if I made a live cd and boot from it then install on my flash drive I will have bootable system on my flash and my win7 will stay un-touched at all? [21:42] nur, and then boot from the usb drive. If every other drive is disabled we can eliminate your past install from the equation. [21:42] amr_: if you do it correctly - yes. [21:42] I guss this solution will let my rest space on my flash be used by my ubuntu system automatically [21:42] ur sure?? [21:42] amr_, correct. You will have to select your usb drive from boot options every time though. [21:42] amr_: I normally install to usb to test out new releases. [21:43] amr_: i do manually partion my flash drives. with a / and swap, and i am SURE to put grub on the MBR of the flash drive. [21:43] nur, yes. But make sure they are disabled in bios. Not just lower on the list of boot devices. Does this make sense? [21:43] how to but it? [21:43] ill try now [21:43] the installation is not all what I need to do? [21:43] amr_: the installer has a pull down menu/item to select where it goes.. it SHOULD default to the usb.. but it may not. [21:43] amr_: double check that it does. [21:44] how can I set up a PPPoE connection in ubuntu 12.04? I can't find a way in network-manager, using pppoeconf does not work (even with network-manager stopped). [21:44] amr_, You can certainly do as Dr_Willis says. It would be a bit more complex. I would try that link I sent you first and see if you can get that working. If you can and don't like it then try partitioning a usb drive out. [21:44] disable boot device systemd0wn ? [21:44] nur, are you asking how do you disable boot devices? [21:44] yes [21:44] im in bios [21:44] with the NEW usb-3 flash drives.. :) installing to USB-3-Flash will be my next trick.. when i get one. [21:44] at boot devices [21:44] by this I will be able to create users on my system, not like the live system, correct? [21:44] there i can disable is that the way [21:46] Yes in bios. I was looking for a website to show you... [21:46] hi there. does anyone have experience setting up 6in4 tunneling in ubuntu? [21:46] Ive got a PEAK 138508AGPK DVB-T Digital TV Hybrid PCI Card installed and I'm trying to get it to work with TVTime on Ubuntu 12.04LTS, I cant select an input as the only choice I get is 'Default' [21:46] nur, You find the option in BIOS? [21:46] no [21:46] what do i need to look for [21:46] boot devices??? [21:47] i am following instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 for hurricane Electric tunnelbroker === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ === gs is now known as Guest56375 [21:47] nur, something like that. It depends on your PC maker. But yes, look around. You should be able to find a list of "CD-ROM" "HDD" "USB" something like that. [21:47] so is it a fact that on ubuntu live we can't create a new user? [21:47] ok ive done that [21:47] what is next? [21:48] nur, you have them disabled. All except the usb drive? [21:48] hello [21:48] yes [21:48] !themes [21:48] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:48] guys, advice me com-port terminal programm, so that it will monitor what was sent to com by device. for linux. [21:48] amr_: live is ment as a simple setup, and not a full system. It can break if you try to do too much. [21:48] except USB and CD/DVD [21:48] this is what happened with me :((((((((( [21:48] amr_: i seem to recall adding users to a live-usb befor.. [21:48] it asks me for Login again [21:49] amr_: but i normally just use a live-usb to install, or do specific tasks. [21:49] nur, alright. we know then that the usb drive has a password on it for some reason. [21:49] amr_: NOT as a daily use os, [21:49] Anyone?... Ive got a PEAK 138508AGPK DVB-T Digital TV Hybrid PCI Card installed and I'm trying to get it to work with TVTime on Ubuntu 12.04LTS, I cant select an input as the only choice I get is 'Default' [21:49] nur, can you re-make the usb drive? [21:49] Anyone have any Touchsceen problems with HP and Uubntu? [21:49] but the live default user is consedered as administrator or not? [21:49] hmm ok [21:50] amr_: the default user on live cd - has sudo rights.. [21:50] try that link I sent you. [21:50] amr_: a sudoer, not root [21:50] 64 bit or 32 bit? [21:50] systemd0wn [21:50] can I make it root user? [21:50] nur, depends on your hardware. [21:50] nur, if you are not for sure stick with 32bit. It will work no matter what. [21:50] amr_: thers no need to activate the 'root' account. Your initial user has full sudo rights. [21:51] i have 64 bit === Cristiano is now known as Guest9423 [21:51] but it didn't work fine with me when I use eclipse to develop some thing? [21:51] nur, then you should be fine to select 64bit. 32bit will work on a 64bit processor, just not the other way around. [21:51] amr_: you better not. just add "sudo" before each command you need to run as root. but if you don't know such stuff - i doubt you need this [21:52] amr_, I agree with xata [21:52] thank you all === Guest9423 is now known as Cristiano-CM [21:52] amr_: i dont know why you need sudo/root to deveop things with eclipse.. [21:52] Dr_Willis: maybe system-wide install [21:52] eclipse give me some errors related to my user priv. so I thought to make an admin user [21:53] can blender 3d software do similar things to adobe effects [21:53] when I make it my system down :((((( [21:53] ok usb is being created [21:53] systemd0wn be right back :) [21:53] nur, cool. let me know how it goes. [21:53] amr_: error output to pastebin.org [21:53] than link to me. [21:53] not sure now [21:53] samcoldham1: can adobe effects do this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/blender-and-ubuntu-creating-tv-advert-magic-in-brazil [21:54] but I can't get my ubuntu up and runing any more [21:55] amr_: as far as i remember eclipse is fully autonomous, and is just a seperate folder without installation stuff. [21:55] im trying to perform a XEN based network install over HTTP/NFS etc. What I need is "the install tree" but I do not know exactly what this is. I have tried using an extracted version of the ISO but receive: The location must be the root directory of an install tree [21:55] amr_: what is error output? [21:56] i reapeat: guys, advice me com-port terminal programm, so that it will monitor what was sent to com by device. for linux. [21:56] yes, I don't have problem in running eclipse the errors goes in developing android apps [21:56] xata: ubuntu didn't start and didn't run up, it just keep playing with this dots for ever [21:57] Driver Question, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 but had to upgrade to kernel 3.5 because of a serious bug. When I did that my webcam stopped working. lsusb shows "Microdia" which appears to be my webcam. Thoughts? [21:57] amr_: once you start installing a lot of things onto a live-usb setup.. they can get flakey. [21:57] systemd0wn: modprobe ? [21:58] amr_: a full normal install would most likely be more stable and faster. [21:58] oooh, that's a live-usb... [21:58] systemd0wn: does the webcam work in the officaial kernel? [21:58] then we can't depend on live ubuntu [21:58] what was the serious bug for info? [21:58] ActionParsnip, yes. [21:58] amr_: it was never ment for a full time desktop setup. [21:58] systemd0wn: then I suggest you report a bug to the kernel developer. [21:58] amr_ yeah live ubuntu on a cd works great. so yes we can depend on live ubuntu [21:58] okay, but when I ask before ppl said it is okay to use it forever but it will be slow [21:59] akem, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1011914 [21:59] Launchpad bug 1011914 in linux (Ubuntu) "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s!

[21:59] no problem now I will reinstall every thing on my flash [21:59] great, thank you every body [21:59] amr_: it's easy and quick [21:59] systemd0wn: or better still, report a bug with the official kernel [21:59] see you [21:59] systemd0wn: or install a clean install of Quantal [22:00] systemd0wn: in short, we cannot support 3rd party kernels like the one you are using [22:01] systemd0wn: i have mad usb [22:01] i am rebooting pc now again [22:01] nur, what? [22:01] i am rebooting my pc with the usb again [22:01] xata, modprobe what? [22:01] nur, ah good. [22:01] systemd0wn, ok, thanks, never had such bug / that's exactly why i don't like to update since all my HW works perfectly on my current Ubuntu. [22:02] im running it and ubuntu 12.04 LST is asking for a login again [22:02] WTF is an install tree: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJSnb-eTNqU&feature=youtube_gdata_player [22:02] ActionParsnip, I realize this. But obviously there is a kern module loaded in the normal kern that supports it. I just was curious how I could find that and include it into the mainstream one I'm running. [22:02] systemd0wn: yes, it needs alerting to the compiler to add the module etc [22:04] hi, please someone help me,,, i once installed ubuntu 10.4 but lost pass, so from windows 7 i deleted the ubuntu partition,,, now ive made a ubuntu 12.04 64 bit usb boot, and when i boot ubuntu from usb i get login prompt and password,,, i tried ubuntu as login and blank pass but i only get black screen for 0.5 ms and then login again [22:04] Whats a shortcut to see all workspaces? [22:04] Guest56375: press and hold the super key to see UNITY shortcuts [22:04] ty [22:05] they REALLY need to make a wallpaper that says that about the super key - be the default. :P [22:05] very useful [22:05] nur, sorry that didn't work. I have no idea how this is happening to you if you have all other drives disabled. [22:05] Or some sort of silly 'tips' of the day thing. ;p [22:05] nur: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run: passwd ubuntu then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in as ubuntu with your new password [22:05] I agree, Dr_Willis [22:05] changing password for ubuntu it says now [22:05] ok [22:05] systemd0wn: what drives? [22:06] it says [22:06] nur: yes,set the pass.....wasn't that obvious? [22:06] ActionParsnip: it says Authentication token manipulation error [22:06] password unchanged [22:06] nur: sounds like a read only file system then [22:06] so what next?\ [22:06] actionparsnip, He just loaded a usb drive with the live cd. He thinks an old installation of ubuntu on his HDD is somehow messing with his live cd. [22:07] I should get back to being productive. Cheers. [22:07] nur: when you made the USB, did you use unetbootin to make it? [22:08] i used usb universal usb installer [22:08] actionparsnip [22:09] nur, so you didn't use the one I sent you a link to? [22:09] nur: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [22:09] no i used the one from the ubuntu site [22:09] no didnt md5 test [22:09] on ubuntu 12.04 using google chrome latest stable version my browser crashes every time I go to tools > extensions or sometimes when I hide the bookmarks bar, then click show the bookmarks bar it crashes [22:09] i downloaded it from ubuntu site [22:09] the browser crashes that is [22:11] nur: then how did you know the data was consistant and complete? [22:11] because its from ubuntu site [22:11] nur: source is irrelevant [22:12] nur: the data can get mangled in transmission, so you MD5 test to make sure the data is good [22:12] !md5 | nur [22:12] nur: 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 [22:12] I have a question about ubuntu on my laptop [22:13] russellpool_: ask away [22:13] mount -o remount,rw / [22:13] i am trying this [22:13] but it says only root can do that [22:13] I updated to a newer version and the internet, both wired and wireless stopped working. [22:13] nur: then prefix with sudo [22:13] ok [22:13] when I reverted back to the previous version internet started working again. [22:13] russellpool_: which version did you upgrade from and to? [22:14] i did [22:14] sudo passwd ubuntu [22:14] and i entered new unix pass [22:14] it wont go into ubuntu.. i try tomorrow [22:14] bye [22:15] ActionParsnip: I used update manager, how do I determine what version I upgraded to? [22:15] russellpool_: lsb_release -sc [22:16] ActionParsnip: after inputing the text it returned the work "natty" [22:16] that is the version that worked. [22:16] russellpool_: ok reboot to the 'bad' version, what does the same command output? === Tux is now known as Scrolls === Aaton is now known as Aaton_off === Aaton_off is now known as Aaton [22:17] !away | Aaton [22:17] Aaton: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels.

Thanks [22:20] ActionParsnip, have you played with one? [22:20] I am running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 LTS. Added the latest repo for xfce 4.10, did the upgrade through the terminal, went to check the status of the current version, still says 4.8, went to the update manager and it says that there are two updates available to get up to 4.10, but it wont allow me to select them and mark for an upgrade.

[23:42] Devvie: whats your problem with your current ubuntu installation on your disk? [23:42] ok .. [23:42] calzifer: The problem isn't with the installation itself, the disk has just become unopenable, and I'm trying to recover its data somehow. [23:43] Devvie: is your home directory encrypted? [23:43] calzifer: It doesn't even get to the OS-selection screen, just errors out and asks me to press CtrlAltDel to reboot. And it's not encrypted as far as I know.

[23:44] Devvie: mount for example a ubuntu-live-cd and check if you can access your hdd. if its possible, backup your /home/ folder to a different place, like a second hdd or usb-device [23:44] !de calzifer [23:44] calzifer: livecd seeing a wubi install seems unlikely... [23:45] calzifer: I tried accessing it with Linux Mint earlier, but it gave me "exit code 2" when trying to mount. [23:45] If I right click my passwords file in seahorse and "unlock" nothing happens. I also get logged out of Ubuntu One a lot. And sometimes when I SSH using key files it never prompts for a password and just hangs. I need to troubleshoot this issue, it has been getting worse, it is sporadic. [23:45] I am suspecting it is gnome-keyring but am not sure. [23:45] zykotick9: ok, didnt know that, because i never used wubi. i thought it creates a second partition etc...like a normal install [23:45] calzifer: nope, wubi is inside windows... [23:46] zykotick9: do you know where it install its stuff? [23:46] calzifer: ya - inside a file on the windows parition [23:47] zykotick9: let me guess, the file is not openable... [23:47] Devvie: do you know where you installed your wubi exactly? [23:47] calzifer: i doubt it - but don't "know" [23:47] calzifer: Hm, probably in C:\ubuntu\ I think, not sure though. And just being able to copy the file itself would be great. === mfisch` is now known as mfisch [23:49] Devvie: read the part "How can I make a backup of my Wubi install?" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide/ === mfisch is now known as Guest6140 [23:49] calzifer: Okay, thanks.
