| mhsy | Hello. This morning ubuntu did not resume from suspend, and had a bunch of problems with inodes. I _eventually_ managed to fix them using "e2fsck -y", but now my computer runs extremely slowly (~20 mins from decrypt hard drive to login screen; ~15 mins to login from tty). I cannot login through the gui, as it keeps spitting me back out. When I log into the tty, i get "zle-line-init echoi:1:no such terminfo capability: smkx" before eve | 00:01 |
| Devvie | calzifer: Thanks, what is that? Another distro like SystemRescueCD? | 00:02 |
| calzifer | Devvie: something like that, only specific for windows and hdd problems etc... | 00:02 |
| mhsy | ... "zle-line-finish echoi:1:no such terminfo capability: rmkx" after every command. When I ran an ls, there are two files: README.txt and Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop; I can't cat or vim etc... | 00:02 |
| calzifer | Devvie: just read it carefully | 00:03 |
| Devvie | calzifer: Okay, thanks! | 00:03 |
| mhsy | Any advice on getting my data back? My entire home directory seems to be missing | 00:03 |

| ubottu | pepinus: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 00:27 |
| pepinus | I wiil try | 00:27 |
| pepinus | MonkeyDust: In 12.04 is the same way? | 00:28 |
| MonkeyDust | pepinus yeah, the factoid should be updated | 00:29 |
| bazhang | !notunity | pepinus | 00:30 |
| ubottu | pepinus: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:30 |

| Dr_Willis | could be theres some button you hit as the pc boots to select what hd to boot.. not selecting a device in the bios. | 00:49 |

| Claximillions | me too ^^ | 01:29 |
| phonebook_ | im dual booting 7 and ubuntu | 01:29 |
| trism | wallnuts: you can copy one of the /etc/init/tty?.conf files to /etc/init/tty8.conf, replace the instances of tty? with tty8 in the file and: sudo start tty8; then you'll have a login prompt on 8 | 01:29 |
| Mikeulus | az - just that it helps to use locate to search around for things that I don't know where they are. I'm not exactly sure the answer to your question, but locate would help. 'sudo updatedb', then after that finishes, 'locate nfs | grep blahblah' for whatever or some combo. Someone else may know the exact locations. | 01:29 |
| phonebook_ | can i run 7 from ubuntu through virtual box? | 01:29 |

| TJPeden | linus_: I can't get much past Grub with the card in the computer, I can only boot Windows with it | 02:32 |
| linus_ | try renaming or deleteing your xorg.conf | 02:32 |
| TJPeden | wilee-nilee: I saw that... I felt that was a bit extreme | 02:32 |
| wilee-nilee | TJPeden, Do you know how to insert nomodeset in the kernel, or remove the nvidia from a cli if needed? | 02:33 |
| TJPeden | I can't even get to a command promt | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | If you have installed a driver already | 02:33 |
| TJPeden | prompt* | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | TJPeden, not from the recovery? | 02:33 |
| TJPeden | Seriously, I had to take the card out to even install 12.04 | 02:34 |
| TJPeden | Live disk wont even boot with the card in there | 02:34 |
| linus_ | you should be able to boot the recovery console | 02:34 |
| HackMe | Bonsoir | 02:34 |
| linus_ | you said you see the grub menu | 02:35 |
| TJPeden | linus_: yes, I can make selections in the grub menu | 02:35 |
| linus_ | did the recovery mode with x work? | 02:35 |
| Mikeulus | How can I verify that a Unity lens is installed correctly? I have installed the askubuntu lens via aptitude and it doesn't show up anywhere. | 02:35 |
| TJPeden | Actually come to think of it, I think I was able to boot the recovery console, but what do I do once I'm in there | 02:35 |
| linus_ | if you can load the x windows console it will be easier | 02:36 |
| TJPeden | There was no X | 02:36 |
| TJPeden | well, I didn't try loading it manually | 02:36 |
| linus_ | recovery mode uses the framebuffer driver and I have never had it not work | 02:36 |
| linus_ | either way you need to remove the nividia prorprietary driver and install nouveau | 02:37 |
| linus_ | this can be done from command line using apt-get or with synaptic in x | 02:38 |
| linus_ | nvidia driver also uses a customized version of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:38 |
| linus_ | this file can be deleted or renamed to something else so it doesnt load | 02:38 |
| TJPeden | I'm quite comfortable with apt-get, what package is nouveau? | 02:39 |
| TJPeden | just nouveau? | 02:39 |
| HackMe | moi aussi | 02:39 |
| TJPeden | I guess I can apt-cache search it | 02:39 |
| TJPeden | Anything else I should know? | 02:39 |
| giiker | is there any way to check if rsyslog is receiving remote logs? | 02:40 |
| rottik9 | guys i am running the last ultimate distro...can i run my XM canada on there? | 02:40 |
| linus_ | if you dont need 3D acceleration you can use the NV driver instead. it is faster and more stable but no desktop effects | 02:40 |
| L3top | I dont think the nv driver exists anymore. | 02:41 |
| linus_ | xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 02:41 |
| TJPeden | Thanks, linus_! I really appreciate your help! | 02:42 |
| L3top | nouveau yes... not nv | 02:42 |
| linus_ | you are welcome. i hope you get it working. | 02:42 |
| TJPeden | me too, I'm quite sick of Windows lol | 02:44 |
| OldOneEye | how do i install sdl | 02:44 |
| linus_ | @OldOneEye run synaptic and search for sdl | 02:48 |
| Loseyourgod666 | #ubuntu | 02:49 |
| tf2ftw | anyone running Audio Recorder? | 02:52 |
| linus_ | @tf2ftw i usuall use audacity to do audio recordings | 02:53 |
| tf2ftw | I'm trying to record stream audio but having no luck | 02:54 |
| tf2ftw | tried Audacity but I get a lot of noise | 02:54 |
| linus_ | do you want to send a stream or save one from the web? | 02:54 |
| tf2ftw | trying to save | 02:54 |
| linus_ | id use mplayer to save the stream | 02:55 |
| tf2ftw | havent tried that yet. installing now.. | 02:55 |
| linus_ | sorry i meant mencoder | 02:55 |
| linus_ | something like mencoder http://www.stream.com/file.mp3 | 02:56 |
| tf2ftw | ha, trying to record Grooveshark streams | 02:56 |
| danielboston26 | i want to ssh into the root account of my server | 02:56 |
| danielboston26 | how do i do this? | 02:56 |
| tf2ftw | root@mysever.com | 02:56 |
| tf2ftw | ssh root@myserver. | 02:56 |
| linus_ | never used groove shark, does it have web interface? | 02:57 |
| tf2ftw | yeah its like last.fm | 02:57 |
| tf2ftw | but amazingly better | 02:57 |
| linus_ | ok you need to deffinitly get a jack server running then | 02:58 |
| L3top | I dont believe that you can do that... ssh root@myserver... not on ubuntu anyway tf2ftw | 02:58 |
| tf2ftw | i havnt tried running a jack setup yet because it alwasy adds a bunch of unwanted stuff | 02:58 |
| vmassuchetto | Is there a place where I can search within the logs of this channel? | 02:58 |
| linus_ | with a jack server the audio output from your web browser can be piped into another program to record it | 02:58 |
| tf2ftw | @L3top of course you can | 02:58 |
| linus_ | install jack-qt and it will install all the required depencies | 02:59 |
| tf2ftw | thansk linus_ | 02:59 |
| linus_ | the open jack-qt and it should start the jack server | 02:59 |
| L3top | there is no actual root password. I do not believe you can ever authenticate tf2ftw. | 02:59 |
| adf_ | I am trying to run the Ubuntu in the Sun Virtual box | 03:00 |
| L3top | !root | tf2ftw | 03:00 |
| ubottu | tf2ftw: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:00 |
| adf_ | I cannot upload the ISO image file to the virtual media manager. | 03:00 |
| JonLimitless | Did a fresh install of Ubuntu with the windows installer. After one use it no longer boots on it or through the usb drive saying its a kernal issue every time. What do I do? | 03:00 |
| linus_ | i use jack sever to sample audio from youtube videos for remixing | 03:00 |
| tf2ftw | L3top ssh myuser@myserver sudo -i | 03:00 |
| adf_ | i cannot install ubuntu in the sun virtual box | 03:00 |
| L3top | yes... that is correct. It wasn't my question... I was just saying I didnt think your suggestion would work. | 03:01 |
| adf_ | anybody can help me? | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | adf_, I'm not your in the right channel what is the sun virtual installed in? | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | sure* | 03:01 |
| tf2ftw | L3top it is possible | 03:01 |
| tf2ftw | but im not going to get into a pissing match with you | 03:01 |
| L3top | danielboston26: You could share a root ssh key | 03:01 |
| adf_ | that's virtual machine | 03:01 |
| adf_ | VM ware | 03:02 |
| wilee-nilee | adf_, installed in what OS? | 03:02 |
| danielboston26 | L3top: i fif it | 03:02 |
| L3top | tf2ftw: I have no such interest. I enjoy staying dry. I was just saying, that simply typing what you did would not help that user. | 03:02 |
| danielboston26 | did* | 03:02 |
| adf_ | I installed VM ware in Windows XP | 03:02 |
| rahul_ | I installed "0ad" game from ubuntu software center, in which folder it is installed? | 03:02 |
| JonLimitless | Any help for my kernal issue on booting? | 03:02 |
| tf2ftw | L3top, :D most cloud hosting companies use root as the main access account. | 03:03 |
| wilee-nilee | adf_, so you need to ask in ##windows the only connection to ubuntu is that is your final gaol. | 03:03 |
| wilee-nilee | or a VM channel that is related to the vm | 03:03 |
| L3top | tf2ftw: I did specify ubuntu... lol Again... I am not trying to be... whatever... just clear | 03:03 |
| tf2ftw | linus_, pm ? | 03:05 |
| linus_ | ? | 03:05 |
| tf2ftw | linus_, can i pm? | 03:06 |
| linus_ | i dont know hot to pm on irc but if you want to go ahead | 03:07 |
| JonLimitless | Any have any idea on my boot problem. It won't run after the initial first startup and install. Now goes to panic mode and says its the kernal problem. | 03:07 |
| tf2ftw | JonLimitless, wut? | 03:08 |
| linus_ | usually a kernel panic is caused by the kernel not finding files it is looking for | 03:08 |
| JonLimitless | I installed ubuntu through the windows installer. After the install process finished and rebooted, it no longer booting. | 03:08 |
| linus_ | did you install it as dualboot? | 03:09 |
| JonLimitless | yes. | 03:09 |
| tf2ftw | JonLimitless, did you install the right processor architecture? | 03:09 |
| linus_ | also a good question\ | 03:09 |
| JonLimitless | Yes the 64bit version tf2ftw | 03:09 |
| tf2ftw | you have 64 capabilities? | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | JonLimitless, windows install is not a dual boot it is a file in windows. | 03:10 |
| escott | linus_, it sounds like JonLimitless installed wubi | 03:10 |
| JonLimitless | Yes I run windows 7 ultimated on a 64bit quad intel core alienware laptop. | 03:10 |
| linus_ | sorry my bad | 03:10 |
| tf2ftw | JonLimitless, are you "just trying" linux or do you need dual boot? | 03:11 |
| JonLimitless | Yes I downloaded wubi and went through the install process on the first-time boot of ubuntu, but no longer boots again | 03:11 |
| JonLimitless | I need a dual boot. | 03:11 |
| tf2ftw | I would install virtualbox and run a VM if you just want to play | 03:11 |
| linus_ | id get a cd or usb copy of the ububtu install and start there | 03:11 |
| linus_ | wubi is a virtual box right? | 03:11 |
| tech1 | packages/programs seem to install to a default place in my system. im wondering what the best way to go about backing my programs and/or their configurations is on linux..... on windows i would just have a folder c:/myprogs and back that whole folder up and copy it to a new system.... but on linux the programs seem to be mostly in /usr/lib or something and other places mixed with other files... so should i just backup the | 03:11 |
| tech1 | configuration files and then write a script to load the config files on a new computer after the programs are installed... or shall i try and install all my programs into a new folder in my home folder and backup the whole programs again -but is probably just more trouble because of how the programs get integrated when installed in their default location? | 03:11 |
| tf2ftw | if you need dual boot then definitely skip wubi | 03:12 |
| JonLimitless | I do have one, i have a 32gb hi version of ubuntu also and its no longer loading after the first boot | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | JonLimitless, Have you ever dual booted? Are you aware of the limitations of primamry partitions on a HD? | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | primary* | 03:12 |
| linus_ | you most likely have a boot loader issue | 03:12 |
| JonLimitless | Yes. I had a dual boot before with ubuntu 10 bout 1 year along on the same laptop | 03:13 |
| tf2ftw | JonLimitless, uninstall wubi before everything is fubar | 03:13 |
| JonLimitless | k done. How do you suggest me installing Ubuntu 12.04 and keeping it as a dual boot? | 03:14 |
| tf2ftw | just install off disc | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | JonLimitless, Cool, then boot a cd, or usb drive and install, I assume you understand the limits of primaries on a single HD, resize the windows with its own partitioner if it is W7. | 03:14 |
| tf2ftw | select "install along side windows" | 03:14 |
| linus_ | if it is windows 7 he probably has empty paririons already | 03:15 |
| linus_ | sorry meant partitions | 03:15 |
| === agat is now known as Guest1228 | ||
| JonLimitless | okay, crap i forget how to make a new partition... isn't that in the computer window | 03:15 |
| tf2ftw | JonLimitless, run disk as live mode and run gparted to partition your HDD | 03:16 |
| JonLimitless | gparted* | 03:16 |
| JonLimitless | ? | 03:16 |
| JonLimitless | ahh the program | 03:16 |
| tf2ftw | or you can do it in windows but i then i woudl say you should go talk to #windows | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | JonLimitless, do you have the windows backed up? | 03:17 |
| TrollingForSoup | Is #Windows a chat here? | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | TrollingForSoup, ##windows | 03:17 |
| tf2ftw | TrollingForSoup, hahaha dunnpo | 03:17 |
| null1024 | this is freenode, probably | 03:17 |
| linus_ | id follow wilee advice, im my experience using gparted to resize windows 7 partitions can lead to data loss | 03:17 |
| TrollingForSoup | Well, time to check that out | 03:17 |
| TrollingForSoup | .Seems interesting. | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | TrollingForSoup, just tell them you dualboot then duck. ;) | 03:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | Alright. | 03:18 |
| tf2ftw | I've never had an issue with gparted but do what you feel you must ofcourse | 03:18 |
| JonLimitless | hahah TrollingForSoup, yeah the channel is called #worestoperatingsystemever7something | 03:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | Well, it's a quadboot. | 03:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | It might be even better. | 03:18 |
| JonLimitless | Thanks everyone for your help | 03:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | You're welcome. | 03:18 |
| linus_ | worst opertating system ever is a lie, but biggest waste of money would be true | 03:19 |
| TrollingForSoup | It's kinda bloated. | 03:19 |
| TrollingForSoup | I dislike using over 20MB of RAm. | 03:20 |
| linus_ | kinda bloated is an understatement, and what operating system do you use that is under 20mb of ram? | 03:20 |
| JonLimitless | True. It run good just yeah it over uses way too many processes at once just to be bareable plus all of the errors it can easily be given. | 03:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | Awesome in Arch Linux. | 03:21 |
| linus_ | running debian with jwm you still be over 20MB | 03:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | With a self-compiled kernel. | 03:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | And I removed everything I don't use. | 03:21 |
| linus_ | i build a linux distro for the wii from the ground up and just getting x windows up uses about 20mb, you cant have a file manager as desktop | 03:22 |
| linus_ | no network manager, no sound manager, nothing. It doesnt even qualify as a modern operating system. | 03:23 |
| TrollingForSoup | Network? Sound? | 03:24 |
| linus_ | check it out for yourself. Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?29,68339,68339 | 03:24 |

| June_ | HI, I have a problem, my brother formated the part of the disk where linux mint was installed, now I have no grub, so Im trying to install ubunt, but when I put the cd, there is a message saying "error, couldn`t read the file", How I can install ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| c2tarun | hi guys, anyone using firefox aurora? | 03:26 |
| June_ | btw, I have windows on the computer too | 03:27 |
| c2tarun | what is the difference b/w firefox and aurora? and is aurora in our repos? | 03:27 |
| TrollingForSoup | Aurora is in-between nightly and normal. | 03:27 |
| TrollingForSoup | It's the "stable beta" | 03:27 |
| TrollingForSoup | I use it. | 03:27 |
| TrollingForSoup | And yes, I think it's in the repos. | 03:28 |
| TrollingForSoup | Oh, hey, the people in ##WIndows are trying to tell me that I can't run Win7 with under 1GB RAM | 03:28 |
| TrollingForSoup | What do you think? | 03:28 |
| c2tarun | TrollingForSoup: by which name, I tried apt-get install aurora, and its pointing to something else. | 03:28 |
| aeon-ltd | TrollingForSoup: i ran a win7 beta ISO on a P4 512mb, it was okay. Not great, but it ran | 03:29 |
| OldOneEye | could someone help me in private with a program im trying to make | 03:29 |
| c2tarun | TrollingForSoup: Win7 is one among best in all windows (I use it daily in office) if you want to try then upgrade, because it'll be slow on high usage. | 03:30 |
| TrollingForSoup | No, I mean they're calling me a liar and telling me to shut up. | 03:30 |
| TrollingForSoup | The second part in PMs. | 03:30 |
| OldOneEye | error: SDL/SDL_net.h: No such file or directory | 03:30 |
| OldOneEye | compilation terminated. | 03:30 |
| OldOneEye | make: *** [ipxnet] Error 1 why wont this make | 03:30 |
| OldOneEye | i installed sdl | 03:30 |
| trism | OldOneEye: libsdl-net1.2-dev | 03:31 |
| OldOneEye | how i install | 03:31 |
| trism | OldOneEye: at least on 12.04, sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev; you will probably need some of the other libsdl -dev packages too | 03:32 |
| trism | OldOneEye: apt-cache search -n libsdl dev; will list the ones you have available | 03:33 |
| OldOneEye | ok kewl | 03:33 |
| OldOneEye | thanx | 03:33 |
| c2tarun | TrollingForSoup: hmm.... BTW if you really like Win and have 1GB ram go for XP (I dont know whether they still sell them or not) | 03:33 |
| TrollingForSoup | I don't really like it. | 03:33 |
| rrittenhouse | Is there a way I can enable remote-access (VNC) via SSH in 12.04? | 03:33 |
| TrollingForSoup | I was in there asking for a replacement for Aero. | 03:34 |
| TrollingForSoup | I only use Windows on my gaming desktop, since that's my only computer that can run it without issues... | 03:34 |
| _quest10 | hi all, after used ubuntu tweak to remove old conf files, my ubuntu 12.04 freeze on checking battery state, I don't know what I can do | 03:34 |
| c2tarun | wow... i just added firefox-aurora ppa and it updated my firefox as aurora :) sweet. I thought Mozilla will keep both the browsers :) | 03:35 |
| _quest10 | any help? | 03:35 |
| _quest10 | my card drive is intel i915 | 03:35 |
| TrollingForSoup | _quest: Are you sure the issue is related to the tweak tool? | 03:36 |
| TrollingForSoup | Sorry I haven't responded; I haven't encountered this issue before. | 03:36 |
| TrollingForSoup | I can help you figure it out, though. | 03:37 |

| JonLimitless | its sad how you need the internet to install a wireless adapter drive haha | 03:44 |
| tf2ftw | Stanley00, glad its working for you, move up to i7 and you will be amazed | 03:45 |

| dikim33 | Hi, how can I source /etc/profile for the csh or tcsh login? | 04:08 |
| tf2ftw | frewsxcv, heres the thing, with windows you are limited to what they give you, with linux you can pretty much do anything you want but sometimes its not easy... so... if you want spoon fed go with apple or win, othwrise use a "open" os | 04:08 |

| wilee-nilee | Mikeulus, I suspect since mine is through the collehge it will not work, it is a redirect to gmail | 04:13 |
| Mikeulus | I see. | 04:13 |
| Mikeulus | are you on 12.04? | 04:14 |

| tf2ftw | davidrsmorris, as in, it cant access the hardware | 04:18 |
| davidrsmorris | tf2ftw: so if I disconnect the hdd, it should boot fine? It looks like it's having trouble making the vfs in memory. | 04:19 |

| tf2ftw | davidrsmorris, how old is your hardware? | 04:20 |
| Mikeulus | ok, reinstalled thunderbird and attempted to set up another account to gmail. It still gives the error. I've enabled the imap and pop access in the web client of gmail. Same error. | 04:23 |
| davidrsmorris | tf2ftw: Just a few years. It's a latitude with a gig of memory and a core duo processor. | 04:23 |

| zack6849 | i messed up pretty bad and need help | 04:51 |
| zack6849 | if anyone can help me it would be fantastic | 04:51 |
| zack6849 | i tried to unstall ubuntu via iso, using LST 12.4, and it froze while partitioning | 04:51 |
| zack6849 | and being the brilliant being i am i decided it would be a fantastic idea to reboot | 04:52 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: LTS 12.04 | 04:52 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Did you have another OS already installed? | 04:52 |
| zack6849 | essentially im getting a blinking ccursor, which if im not mistaken means i i corruppted my MBR | 04:52 |
| zack6849 | yes i did | 04:52 |
| KatsumeBlisk | What was already on the HDD when you were trying to install zack6849 | 04:52 |
| zack6849 | windows | 04:52 |
| zack6849 | im assuming ive made a horrible mistake | 04:52 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Try booting into the Ubuntu live cd again and see if your data is still there. When you interrupt partitioning at a certain step, you can potentially have corrupted the entire disk. | 04:53 |
| zack6849 | im assuming i corruped everything | 04:53 |
| zack6849 | i tried booting in again | 04:53 |
| zack6849 | still a cuirsor | 04:53 |
| zack6849 | *cursor | 04:53 |
| zack6849 | which is just dandy -_- | 04:54 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Is this booting from your hard drive or your install media? | 04:54 |
| zack6849 | i told it to boot from my cd | 04:54 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Boot off the Ubuntu disc again like you had done before this happened. | 04:54 |

| zack6849 | cant do ANYTHING | 04:55 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: There's a terminal emulator. | 04:55 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: namoamitabuddha means enter that when you boot up the live cd. | 04:55 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: What kind of installation CD do you have? | 04:55 |
| zack6849 | i gootta find the cd first | 04:55 |
| luminousq | ... | 04:55 |
| zack6849 | ill brb | 04:55 |
| zack6849 | i downloaded the latest LST for 64 bit | 04:55 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Desktop CD or Alternate CD? | 04:55 |

| lotuspsychje | psycose: did it workout for you? | 04:56 |
| luminousq | totally forgot the password what can I do | 04:56 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: How did you partition? | 04:56 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: Of course, I haven't used the Ubuntu alt disc, so I could be wrong. I assume it's like Arch's partitioning. | 04:56 |
| zack6849 | there were 3 options | 04:56 |
| zack6849 | overwrite windows | 04:56 |
| zack6849 | installl with windows | 04:57 |

| zack6849 | i hat install with | 04:57 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm assuming you used the desktop disc. | 04:57 |
| zack6849 | hit 400gbfor eachpartition | 04:57 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: Oh, no, it's more like Debian's than ArchLinux's. | 04:57 |
| zack6849 | an hit next | 04:57 |

| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: What did you choose? | 04:57 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: Ah.. That makes sense. I've used Debian's too. The alt disc must be really similar to Ubuntu Server then. | 04:57 |
| zack6849 | i used the install with windows option | 04:57 |
| zack6849 | it froze for ~20 mins | 04:57 |
| zack6849 | at which point i decided to reboot | 04:58 |
| L3top | It froze? Or began partitioning. | 04:58 |
| L3top | It takes time. | 04:58 |
| zack6849 | it said it b, but made no progressegan | 04:58 |
| L3top | It takes time. | 04:58 |
| zack6849 | so i hit the expand button so it would show progress | 04:58 |
| zack6849 | it wass throwing errors | 04:58 |
| namoamitabuddha | But I don't think it would take twenty minutes. | 04:58 |
| zack6849 | and didnt move | 04:58 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Just boot up from a live CD (doesn't necessarily have to be 12.04 for this step) and we'll go from there. | 04:58 |
| L3top | What kind of errors? | 04:58 |
| zack6849 | i dont recall | 04:59 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Do you know how to partition by hand? | 04:59 |
| L3top | yes... KatsumeBlisk is correct | 04:59 |
| zack6849 | it was something about a widget | 04:59 |
| zack6849 | :/ | 04:59 |
| zack6849 | i had the error | 04:59 |
| zack6849 | but its been ~1hr | 04:59 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Do you know how to partition by hand, not by the intallation step? | 04:59 |
| zack6849 | not within the installer | 05:00 |

| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: persist in* | 05:07 |
| phonebook_ | i need a little help expanding the partition that ubuntu is on | 05:07 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, are you getting to the try ubuntu gui | 05:07 |
| phonebook_ | ive got stupid gparted installed | 05:07 |
| zack6849 | yeah, these are all assuming that it actually booted in | 05:07 |
| StahlGrau | so we're currently trying to save his files or fix his windows machine? | 05:07 |
| phonebook_ | but when i try to resize the stupid partition gparted just explains implicitly that it is uselss | 05:07 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: gparted is OK. | 05:07 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, you did not read the link it tells you what to do there. | 05:07 |
| zack6849 | wilee-nilee no i m not | 05:07 |
| phonebook_ | what is better than okay? | 05:08 |
| zack6849 | after ooting i get nothing, just a blankscreen with a cursor | 05:08 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, Ah I see, then I don't kmow. | 05:08 |
| zack6849 | well thats dandy | 05:08 |
| L3top | zack6849: if you booted once, you can boot again. Your hard drive has nothing to do with live cd | 05:08 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Boot what? CD? | 05:08 |
| zack6849 | yes | 05:08 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, have you checked the md5sum of the disc | 05:08 |
| zack6849 | im botting wwith a live cd | 05:08 |
| KatsumeBlisk | phonebook_: gparted is the best GUI partitioner, imo. Granted, I'm not picky in that department. What's the layout of your HDD? What are you shrinking to expand? | 05:08 |
| namoamitabuddha | booting* | 05:08 |
| StahlGrau | try a live usb if possible | 05:08 |
| reuf | guys - question - i have dual screen - but on the other screen my desktop area overflows physical size of the screen - how to cope with this? | 05:08 |
| zack6849 | or trying, it just shows a blank screen with a blinking prompt | 05:08 |
| phonebook_ | the ubuntu partition is all the way to the right in the gparted diagram | 05:09 |
| zack6849 | stahl, can you link me to that? | 05:09 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Try Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 05:09 |
| phonebook_ | so while i have 500 unused gb | 05:09 |
| phonebook_ | it wont let me add that spce | 05:09 |
| StahlGrau | yeah one sec | 05:09 |
| zack6849 | due to the fact id rather not do something stupid this time | 05:09 |
| KatsumeBlisk | phonebook_: Is the 500GB before or after Ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| phonebook_ | b4 | 05:09 |
| StahlGrau | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 05:10 |
| StahlGrau | assuming you're running windows on your laptop | 05:10 |
| phonebook_ | unless you look at it in a mirror | 05:10 |
| wilee-nilee | phonebook_, take a screen shot of g[parted and put it in a image.bin | 05:10 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: How many partition do you have? | 05:10 |
| phonebook_ | i have tried this and it does not help | 05:10 |
| phonebook_ | sec.. | 05:10 |
| KatsumeBlisk | phonebook_: You may have to move it to the right (the problem is that it's not *adding* to Ubuntu right?) and then either try again or reboot and try it. | 05:10 |
| Dmanstasiu | if anyone has some time, i'd appreciate some help with ubuntu 10.10 and F@H | 05:10 |
| wilee-nilee | !imagebin | phonebook_ | 05:10 |
| ubottu | phonebook_: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 05:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Dmanstasiu, sure it is end of life. ;) | 05:11 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: I guess phonebook_ created too much primary partitions so that he cann't create one more. | 05:11 |
| KatsumeBlisk | I won't be able to see phonebook_'s screenshot. lol. I'm using CLI. | 05:11 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: too many* | 05:11 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: aha, you can. | 05:11 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: You should be able to have as much free space as you want though since it's not a partition, per se. | 05:11 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: just wget it. | 05:11 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: and use a tool, say fbv, to show. | 05:11 |
| StahlGrau | haha oh man, dude I was trying to help left, well I'm off, cheers guys | 05:11 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: I don't have a GUI period. Are you saying there's a way to view images without one? | 05:12 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: yes | 05:12 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: fbv | 05:12 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: Oooh. I'll look into this. Thanks. | 05:12 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: If you have framebuffer. | 05:12 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: It's also okay to browse the Internet in virtual console, say tty1, but it seems ugly. | 05:13 |
| Dmanstasiu | @wilee-nilee i'd just like some help if possible :P | 05:13 |
| TrollingForSoup | FBV, eh? I'llhave to check it out. | 05:13 |
| zack68491 | grr | 05:13 |
| zack68491 | stupid laptop charger | 05:13 |
| zack68491 | sorry about that | 05:13 |
| phonebook_ | http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l493/powerfulcrunch/Screenshotfrom2012-08-09011209.png | 05:13 |
| namoamitabuddha | or fbi is also ok. | 05:13 |
| wilee-nilee | Dmanstasiu, I can appreciate that but end of life distros are not really supported, you might get help though. | 05:14 |
| Dmanstasiu | it's really not a complicated thing | 05:14 |
| Dmanstasiu | im new and just missing a dll | 05:14 |
| Dmanstasiu | mscorlib.dll | 05:14 |
| phonebook_ | the tiny pathetic partitions crammed up in the right is ubuntu | 05:14 |
| Dmanstasiu | i'd guess it's something fairly common | 05:14 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Now there're four primary partitions. | 05:14 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Therefore you cannot create one more. | 05:14 |
| phonebook_ | i dont even know why there are four | 05:15 |
| zack68491 | where did stahl go? D: | 05:15 |
| phonebook_ | the two in the middle are both empty | 05:15 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: It seems that sda1, sda2, sda3, sda5, sda6, sda7 are mounted. | 05:15 |
| phonebook_ | but no matter what i do i cant get that space into the ubuntu partition | 05:15 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Try to resize sda4 | 05:15 |
| IlikeMoose | should i be concerned if the command top says i have a zombie process running? | 05:16 |
| TrollingForSoup | Nah. | 05:16 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: to fulfill the free space on the fourth row. | 05:16 |
| TrollingForSoup | Just means a process didn't die when it should have. | 05:16 |
| bitbarron | I have a pc w/ no operating system. It just has the BIOS. How can I tell if it is 32 or 64 bit, so I know which Ubuntu iso to install? | 05:16 |
| Dmanstasiu | it depends on your processor | 05:16 |
| KatsumeBlisk | What CPU does it have bitbarron | 05:16 |
| TrollingForSoup | When you get to CMOS, tell me what CPU you have. | 05:16 |
| KatsumeBlisk | bitbarron: How much RAM too? | 05:16 |
| Dmanstasiu | % | 05:16 |
| Dmanstasiu | ^ * | 05:16 |
| namoamitabuddha | bitbarron: It depends on your architecture. | 05:16 |
| IlikeMoose | thanks TrollingForSoup | 05:16 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, It has an AMD dual core | 05:17 |
| wilee-nilee | phonebook_, so you are trying to add partition space to the ubuntu install right? | 05:17 |
| TrollingForSoup | What dual-core, though? | 05:17 |
| phonebook_ | instead of offering me the option to resize it just came up with a menu that had nothing to do with anything | 05:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | bitbarron: How much RAM do you have? | 05:17 |
| phonebook_ | right | 05:17 |
| phonebook_ | a couple hundred gb would be nice | 05:17 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Are you using a CD? | 05:17 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, let me go look. Be right back. | 05:17 |
| TrollingForSoup | Alright. | 05:17 |
| phonebook_ | ubuntu is already installed | 05:17 |
| phonebook_ | im on ubuntu now | 05:17 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | phonebook_ please use nicks so we know who you are talking to. | 05:17 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Oh, you cannot resize it immediately | 05:17 |
| ubottu | phonebook_ please use nicks so we know who you are talking to.: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:17 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, It is an AMD Athlon | 05:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | x64 or x86? | 05:18 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Too many partitions are mounted, therefore they are locked. | 05:18 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: You cannot operate on them. | 05:18 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, Well, it use to have Win XP, so I assume x86 | 05:18 |
| KatsumeBlisk | bitbarron: How much RAM? If it's less than 4GB, then you might as well use 32bit instead of guessing that it's 64bit. | 05:18 |
| TrollingForSoup | Well, if it came with XP, then yeah. | 05:19 |
| icequeen | I installed Ubuntu using Wubi. If I want a dual-boot, I have no choice but to re-install Ubuntu right? | 05:19 |
| TrollingForSoup | XP had an x64, but it was unstable. | 05:19 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: In order to enlarge sda4, the logical partitions, say sda5, sda6, sda7, should be unmounted. | 05:19 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, you can transfer that wubi to a partition hold on. | 05:19 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha it doesnt give me the option | 05:19 |
| bitbarron | KatsumeBlisk, It has 2 GB Ram, so I guess 32 is going to be the way I will go | 05:19 |
| TrollingForSoup | Yes. | 05:20 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: They are locked, therefore the options are GREY. | 05:20 |
| TrollingForSoup | Is this your first Linux install, bit? | 05:20 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha wait yes it does, hold on.. | 05:20 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: You cannot do that in gparted unless you're a geek. | 05:20 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, Thanks. I think between you and KatsumeBlisk it sounds like 32 is the way to go. Thanks to both. Cheers! | 05:20 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi Make sure you are aware of the amount of partitions on a single hard drive and what type. | 05:20 |
| KatsumeBlisk | bitbarron: The main benefit of 64bit is allowing you to use more than 4GB of RAM. If you don't have that, I can't think of a reason to go 64bit over 32bit. :) | 05:20 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Use the low-level tool such as fdisk. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. | 05:20 |
| bitbarron | KatsumeBlisk, Thanks. 32 it is. | 05:20 |
| Dmanstasiu | is bitbarron installing windows or a linux dist ? | 05:20 |
| TrollingForSoup | bitbarron, If this is your first time using Linux, I can walk you through your first configuration. | 05:20 |
| zack68491 | wilee-nilee, do you have a clue as to why it wont boot at all? im doing as multiple people suggested and am setting up a usb boot but o you have any ideas as to why this would have happened in the fitst place? | 05:21 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, amount of partitions meaning the limitations | 05:21 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha sighhhhhh | 05:21 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Do you at least see BIOS when booting? | 05:21 |
| bitbarron | TrollingForSoup, Thanks for the offer. I have installed Ubuntu several times no, so I think I am good. | 05:21 |
| wilee-nilee | zack68491, have you checked the md5sum of the disc? | 05:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | Alright. | 05:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | Just making sure. | 05:21 |
| zack68491 | not KatsumeBlisk | 05:21 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha extremely dissapointing considering it will be easy to switch over to windows and find a tool for this | 05:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | I do so love first installs. | 05:21 |
| zack68491 | i see nothing | 05:21 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee I have 2 hard drives on my computer, so my (perhaps naive) assumption is that makes it simpler to have 2 operating systems | 05:21 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: (DANGEROUS) delete sda4, re-create sda4, allocate sda5,sda6,sda7 in the same offset. | 05:21 |
| zack68491 | my motherboard has UEFI if tteans anything | 05:21 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: No. | 05:21 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha screw it, im not wasting more time on this tonight.... thank you for your help though. i appreciate it | 05:21 |
| TrollingForSoup | Never tried multidrive dualboot... | 05:21 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: Windows is awful. | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I would agree that a actual dual boot os beter then a wubi install. | 05:22 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: That means a lot. Does anything show up before it tries to boot the live cd/usb? | 05:22 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: I tried to that and finally, windows broke my MBA. | 05:22 |
| phonebook_ | namoamitabuddha im done with it for tonight.... this is stupidly hard when it should be stupidly easy | 05:22 |
| namoamitabuddha | phonebook_: the partition information all lost. | 05:22 |
| phonebook_ | thanks, im out | 05:22 |
| TrollingForSoup | Well, I wouldn't call Windows awful. | 05:22 |
| zack68491 | no KatsumeBlisk it just shows a blinking cursor | 05:22 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee I would not have used wubi if I had known it was any different from partitioning things out normally. | 05:22 |
| zack68491 | i suppose i should have mentioned uefi earluer :/ | 05:22 |
| TrollingForSoup | Wubi is annoying... | 05:23 |
| TrollingForSoup | It's never worked properly for me. | 05:23 |
| TrollingForSoup | I LIKE manually partitioning, dammit. | 05:23 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: I'm not familiar with UEFI, so I'm probably not much help. If it's similar to BIOS in having a key to press to get to the settings, it should show it when booting. | 05:23 |
| icequeen | what problems have you said TFS? | 05:23 |
| grendal_prime2 | hello? | 05:23 |
| TrollingForSoup | I'm not using Wubi right now. | 05:23 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: So when you boot your computer, all you get is the cursor? NOTHING else shows? | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, no biggie it can be migrated to a partition with just running code, I would back up any thing important there first though. | 05:23 |
| TrollingForSoup | I've just had bad experiences in thr past. | 05:23 |
| zack68491 | KatsumeBlisk it has the press the key to change boot settings and whatnot, yes | 05:23 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee nothing important :) | 05:23 |
| zack68491 | uefi is essentially the fios settings, but grapphically enhanced | 05:24 |
| zack68491 | and with a mouse ^_^ | 05:24 |
| zack68491 | *bios..... | 05:24 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: K. I'm assuming you chose USB or w/e your Ubuntu media is as the first option? | 05:24 |
| zack68491 | yes | 05:24 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Just trying to figure out how far you can get. :) | 05:24 |
| psycose | lotuspsychje, well the build has start again | 05:24 |
| zack68491 | im gonna try a usb disk just so i always know exactly where my cd is >_> | 05:24 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: zack68491 said that the cursor occurred. | 05:25 |
| zack68491 | not a mouse cursor, but like a typing prompt | 05:25 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Were you using a CD or USB? | 05:25 |
| namoamitabuddha | Ah, I see. | 05:25 |
| zack68491 | i waas using a cd | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, cool then follow the wiki, put it on the second HD if you like, just be aware of the limit to the amount of primary partitions, ubuntu can be in a extened as a logical partition so that you have a swap a s well if you have 3 primaries on a single disc already. | 05:25 |
| zack68491 | about to usb it | 05:25 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Make a USB, then we'll go from there. | 05:25 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack68491: Is there anything in promt? | 05:25 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack68491: prompt* | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | not that i can see | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | i cant enter anyhting there either | 05:26 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack68491: Try to press Esc | 05:26 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: From what I can tell, the computer doesn't know what to boot. | 05:26 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: That's just my guess though. | 05:26 |
| wilee-nilee | *extended | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | lemme go hit it and see | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | :P | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | hopefully laptop wont die | 05:26 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: Oh, I know nothing about UEFI. | 05:26 |
| zack68491 | if it does expect me to be back shortly | 05:27 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack68491: It won't die. | 05:27 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: Neither do I. I've only used BIOS. :P | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | it will | 05:27 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: You should plug it in. :) | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | if the cord comes out | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | it dies | 05:27 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Ahh. | 05:27 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: never mind | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | greatt | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | i tried to create a boot drive | 05:27 |
| zack68491 | didnt work | 05:27 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee sorry, I don't think I understand. why do I need to watch the limit of the number of partitions? | 05:28 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: What OS and application did you try to make the USB with? | 05:28 |
| icequeen | (thanks for your help by the way) | 05:28 |
| zack68491 | windows 7 | 05:28 |
| zack68491 | thpendrive linux creator app listed on the wiki | 05:28 |
| KatsumeBlisk | KatsumeBlisk: I recommend using Universal USB Installer. Google it. | 05:28 |
| KatsumeBlisk | oops | 05:28 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: See my above comment. XD | 05:28 |
| zack68491 | i am | 05:28 |
| zack68491 | :P | 05:28 |
| zack68491 | thats what im using | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, there is a rule that if you have more then 4 primary partitions in hd that is a standard msdos setup it will make the disc go dynamic, you don't want that. | 05:29 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: What's the problem with the USB? Does it have an error when making it or does it not boot, etc? | 05:29 |
| zack68491 | it says | 05:29 |
| zack68491 | 1 error occurend | 05:29 |
| zack68491 | usb will not boot | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I have to assume you have a msdos regular common setup when I warn you of this. | 05:29 |
| zack68491 | or something along those lines | 05:29 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Win7 says this or is this shown when you try to boot off of it? | 05:30 |
| zack68491 | the program itself says so | 05:30 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Have you tried again? Make sure there's nothing important on it, and reformat it with the program, if you haven't already. Try making it again. | 05:31 |
| zack68491 | im trying :P | 05:31 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Unless it disappears on its own, don't close errors until you tell us exactly what it says. :) | 05:31 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee the D drive does not have any operating system installed on it, the windows OS is on C drive. would msdos still be installed on the second disc? | 05:32 |
| zack68491 | just to ensure im not being retarted | 05:32 |
| zack68491 | this is the proper one correct? | 05:32 |
| zack68491 | ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64 | 05:32 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Yes. | 05:32 |
| zack68491 | im using amd 64 bit cpu | 05:32 |
| zack68491 | okay | 05:32 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: It doesn't have to be AMD, but if your desktop has UEFI, it definitely works with 64bit. | 05:32 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, probably, you could boot a live ubuntu cd and look at it with gparted or use the windows partitioner to identify it. | 05:33 |
| zack68491 | well this could be problematic | 05:33 |
| KatsumeBlisk | icequeen: I recommend using an Ubuntu CD since the Windows partitioner is pretty bad. | 05:33 |
| zack68491 | when i select my flashdrives letter | 05:33 |
| zack68491 | it freezes | 05:33 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, are you sure that D is a second HD, not just a partition? | 05:33 |
| wilee-nilee | KatsumeBlisk, look at the channel this is just to identify a partitioning type | 05:34 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack68491: Not sure what to tell you. At this point, I'd try a reboot and/or redownloading the tool. | 05:34 |
| KatsumeBlisk | wilee-nilee: Sorry. I've been focusing on one person. I'll stay out of your way. | 05:35 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee - well the D drive's name is DATAPART1. However, the C drive recently failed and was physically removed and replaced with a new drive (all the files were destryoed). but the D drive's files were intact. So I take that as a pretty good indication they are physically separate disks | 05:35 |
| zack68491 | i think i broke my flashdrive...... | 05:35 |
| zack68491 | murphys law seems to apply to my life | 05:36 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee yes, Dell's product description of my laptop (Studio 17) say "dual hard drives" | 05:36 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I don't like to guess, so I would be comfortable if we were able to confirm the D drive with gparted from a live ubuntu cd. | 05:36 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee - i'm using ubuntu right now | 05:37 |
| L3top | icequeen: sudo fdisk -l | 05:37 |
| L3top | icequeen: in a pastebin please | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | L3top, will that work from a wubi? | 05:37 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee - installing GParted now.... | 05:37 |
| SpacePoet | how do i get more hard drives? | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, L3top may be correct, not sure how gparted works from a wubi to be honest. | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | probably works, never tried it. icequeen | 05:39 |
| icequeen | GParted (just installed) says there's a /dev/sda and a /dev/sdb. Two HDs, right? | 05:40 |
| jkoltner | Hi guys. I'm changing to change the name of a Unbuntu 10.04 machine here. I've changed /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts and rebooted, and while pinging the new name works fine, pinging the old name still gets this same machine as well. :-( Since I want to re-use the old name on another PC, is there anything else I need to change/clear? | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, yeah take a screen shot of both and put them in a imagebin | 05:41 |
| jkoltner | changing to change->trying to change | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | !imagebin | icequeen | 05:41 |

| Diazo | Hi all, I'm trying to install a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 printer driver but for some reason the installer keeps telling me that I have a few components that have been previously installed. I can't seem to find away to delete them... here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/CaRDp.jpg | 05:41 |
| DaRkStaR | jkoltner : restart nscd service to clear DNS cache | 05:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Diazo, did you try running the printer app to see if ubuntu has that in the repo's | 05:43 |
| zack6849 | yeah, i even broke my flash drive | 05:43 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee http://imagebin.org/223866 + http://imagebin.org/223867 | 05:43 |
| zack6849 | this is fantastic | 05:43 |
| zack6849 | -_- | 05:43 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: How'd you break it? | 05:43 |
| zack6849 | not sure | 05:44 |
| zack6849 | wont read oxon any pc or x | 05:44 |
| Diazo | wilee-nilee, I haven't tried that but I can't seem to find my printer cable to connect the printer cable to my laptop to find the driver. | 05:44 |
| zack6849 | i t usually has a dara used bar | 05:44 |
| jkoltner | DarkStar: This is Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't have nscd installed even? | 05:44 |
| Diazo | Seeing as the printer is a wireless printer. | 05:44 |
| zack6849 | now it is just striped | 05:44 |
| jkoltner | And apparently doesn't cache DNS entries? (Or isn't suppose to...) | 05:44 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Well, do you have another USB or a way to burn another disc? | 05:44 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Not sure if UEFI, but in BIOS, you can manually select what to boot from separately from the boot order. Have you tried this? | 05:45 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, you have standard msdos setup the sdb drive has data on it is that a recovery for windows? | 05:46 |
| zack6849 | yes | 05:46 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: And you still got the blinking cursor without any other message right? | 05:46 |
| zack6849 | yea | 05:46 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: How long have you let that cursor sit? | 05:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Diazo, I have no idea on how to fix the problem you're in, so I wondered if you tried the repos is all. | 05:47 |
| zack6849 | the whole time | 05:47 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: It's been there this entire time, eh? Hmm. | 05:47 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee sdb has Ubuntu 12.04 on it | 05:48 |
| Diazo | wilee-nilee, How would I go about checking the repository? | 05:48 |
| icequeen | (installed with wubi onto the D drive) wilee-nilee | 05:48 |
| icequeen | (D drive = sdb) | 05:48 |
| newbchessplayer | flash video on firefox keeps stuttering about 2 or 3 times a second, the only way i can fix it is to restart the darned computer. nothing else (logging out and in again, suspending) works. why is this happening? | 05:48 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm not sure what to do now. I've told you everything I'd do. | 05:49 |
| zack6849 | this blows | 05:49 |
| zack6849 | thats an expensive pc too | 05:49 |
| newbchessplayer | use it to clean up your leafs then zack6849 | 05:50 |
| newbchessplayer | leaves | 05:50 |
| zack6849 | ? | 05:50 |
| newbchessplayer | leafs | 05:50 |
| newbchessplayer | lol | 05:50 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm sure it's just the hard drive and not the whole PC. | 05:50 |
| zack6849 | thats still aa 1TB HDD! | 05:50 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Or mobo since UEFI could be the problem. | 05:50 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee sdb a.k.a. D drive i usually just use for normal file storage. movies, music, etc. that's what it's for, just regular storage. I decided to re-purpose it for Ubuntu since 500GB storage is more than enough (even though my sda a.k.a. C drive looks full that's just temporary) | 05:50 |
| zack6849 | ............. | 05:50 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm just saying that I'm sure there's a fix. I jsut can't do anything from here, you know? | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, Ah okay I assume it is safe to shrink the sdb1 partition with the windows installer and have ubuntu still boot as the wubi, leaving space for the migration, the boot the ubuntu to make sure it is good then migrate it. I have never done a migration so you will have to follow the wiki. Or you could just wipe the sdb and do a install from a live ubuntu cd to the sdb and let it run the install to the free space. | 05:51 |
| newbchessplayer | KatsumeBlisk, if you've exhausted the options with zack, could you help me when you get a chance? | 05:51 |
| KatsumeBlisk | newbchessplayer: What's your problem? There's a chance I can't help, depending on what it is? | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, so the sdb is not the ubuntu wubi? | 05:51 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Do you have any other USB drives to try? | 05:51 |
| newbchessplayer | flash video on firefox keeps stuttering about 2 or 3 times a second, the only way i can fix it is to restart the darned computer. nothing else (logging out and in again, suspending) works. why is this happening? | 05:52 |
| zack6849 | KatsumeBlisk im trying a different one now | 05:52 |
| RAsputtin | wassup ? | 05:52 |
| KatsumeBlisk | newbchessplayer: I assume it's because Flash (on Linux especially) sucks. | 05:52 |
| zack6849 | it seems to be working, im currently installinng the usb boot thin gonto it | 05:52 |
| RAsputtin | i don't see the bluetooth device in my kde | 05:52 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Let me know if it's successful. | 05:52 |
| newbchessplayer | thanks that fixed it right up, KatsumeBlisk | 05:52 |
| zack6849 | 7zip is exxtrating what i assume s the iso | 05:53 |
| zack6849 | *is | 05:53 |
| KatsumeBlisk | newbchessplayer: I've never had a lot of luck with Flash. I avoid it on Linux | 05:53 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Yeah. | 05:53 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee well it's confusing. wubi is supposed to be a program in windows, but windows is on sda and ubuntu is on sdb. I guess it's just a windows program installed on sdb | 05:53 |
| icequeen | KatsumeBlisk you don't watch youtube? | 05:53 |
| KatsumeBlisk | icequeen: Not really. | 05:53 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, what do you see if you open it? | 05:53 |
| newbchessplayer | i know right | 05:53 |
| KatsumeBlisk | And that's the last I'm talking about my habits with flash. Not really on topic. ;) | 05:54 |
| zack6849 | k | 05:54 |
| zack6849 | it didnt throw an error | 05:55 |
| zack6849 | just go boot off of it and see what happens? | 05:55 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Basically. | 05:55 |
| newbchessplayer | so has anyone else had experience with this hiccuping flash video? | 05:55 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee I can't open it right now for some reason, but I've opened it on windows and it just had a folder called 'ubuntu' with files and subfolders | 05:55 |
| zack6849 | lets hope nothing bursts into flames | 05:55 |
| zack6849 | ill br | 05:55 |
| zack6849 | *brb | 05:55 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee the whole reason I used wubi in the first place is because I found the LiveCD installation scary. dead simple if I want to simply split my sda in half, but more complicated to accord one hard drive per OS | 05:56 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, my only concern with the sdb1 partition was if it is the ubuntu would it be affected by a resize of that partition, if that is what it is just resize it and check that it works before migrating it. If you have nothing to save there then a regular cd install to a free space there is fine if you just delete the sdb1. | 05:56 |
| RAsputtin | how can i see bluetooth devices ? | 05:57 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee, so I'll shrink the sdb1 partition to like 31 GB, since wubi only uses 30 GB anyway. then I'll migrate it, and delete the wubi partition afterwards? | 05:58 |
| newbchessplayer | the bluetooth symbol on the top panal ? | 05:58 |
| zack6849 | odd | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | i used the uusb | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | and in my boot screen it shows up twice | 05:59 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I don't think the windows partitioner will allow you to make that small, I suspect a shrink of that size might make the wubi bricked, but I don't know I never really used wubi. | 05:59 |
| newbchessplayer | flash video on firefox keeps stuttering about 2 or 3 times a second, the only way i can fix it is to restart the darned computer. nothing else (logging out and in again, suspending) works. why is this happening? | 05:59 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Try one, if it doesn't work, try the other. | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | i tried both devices, after trying them both i noticed that it actually goes down a few lines then freezes again | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | ie | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | at start its here | 05:59 |
| zack6849 | | | 06:00 |
| zack6849 | then it goes down a few lines | 06:00 |
| zack6849 | | | 06:00 |
| FloodBot1 | zack6849: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:00 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee wubi is capped at 30 GB. so, I could not install 40 GB worth of software. at least that's my understanding from what I've read | 06:00 |
| zack6849 | any ideas KatsumeBlisk? | 06:01 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: So it boots from the USB and freezes? | 06:01 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee anyway to be safe I could just shrink to 80 GB or something. as long as I can delete it after it doesn't matter. and if I brick the wubi, it wouldn't devastate me I'd just rather try to migrate than start from scratch | 06:01 |
| zack6849 | it boots | 06:01 |
| zack6849 | and it even goes down a few lines with the prompt thing | 06:01 |
| zack6849 | no uubunto screen though | 06:02 |
| zack6849 | '*ubuntu | 06:02 |
| zack6849 | >_> | 06:02 |
| zack6849 | would screenshots help any? | 06:02 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm not sure what to tell you. That's really weird, and I've never seen that before. Especially since it booted before this whole snafu. | 06:02 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Not really. I don't have a GUI and haven't setup a way to view images in CLI. | 06:02 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: It might help someone else help you though. | 06:03 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I think that is the limit 30 gigs. If it was me I would shrink the sdb1 with the windows partitioner to have a bigger then 30 gig partition for the migration, then check the ubuntu still boots. I would migrate it then, and then you can exspnad the ubuntu partition from either end to make it the size you want, this would be done from a live gparted or ubuntu cd I rfecommend having a live ubuntu cd anyway. | 06:03 |
| zack6849 | well did you hear my whole story earlier? | 06:03 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: Yes. You rebooted when the partitioning froze. | 06:03 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: snapshot? | 06:03 |
| zack6849 | yeah | 06:03 |
| zack6849 | snapshot? | 06:03 |
| zack6849 | what | 06:03 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: may help. | 06:03 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: screenshot | 06:03 |
| zack6849 | i doubt itll help but okay | 06:04 |
| zack6849 | gimme a sec | 06:04 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: I'm sorry I'm not much of help. I wish I could fix it. :( | 06:04 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: Your spelling seems strange. | 06:04 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: It's slang sort of. | 06:04 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, to be honest that will take some time if you include the expansion of the migration, a ubuntu install from a cd is about 20 min | 06:05 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: It's not officially correct, but it's correct to our eyes. If that made sense. | 06:05 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee how much time? | 06:05 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: But it's really hard to non-native speakers. | 06:05 |
| KatsumeBlisk | namoamitabuddha: Yeah I know. Nothing I can do about it though. I don't use it. I'm weird and like being grammatically correct. | 06:06 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, hard to say the resizing of the migration to the size you want is the longest, I would estimate all together if you went step by step knowing what you are doing about 2 hours. | 06:06 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: You are not weird. | 06:06 |
| zack6849 | uploaafing pics now | 06:07 |
| dikim33 | nobody uses csh or tcsh on ubuntu? | 06:07 |
| zack6849 | gd, i apologize for all of my typos, i despise this laptop | 06:07 |
| KatsumeBlisk | zack6849: No worries. :) | 06:07 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I think it will take a bit longer times are not really estimable in this scenario, all I can say is a fresh install will be the fastest | 06:07 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee that's fine, I would save hours and hours of time doing the migration rather than a fresh install. a fresh install would be depressing. i've already spent days tweaking my ubuntu | 06:08 |
| ajnr | Hi all , may I know what is the command to tar and copy a directory including subdirectory and files ? Actually my ubuntu became corrupt while upgrading , so I want to get a backup data using live dvd of ubuntu. how to do if any one suggest plz | 06:08 |

| wilee-nilee | icequeen, So do yo9u understand the process I suggest for the migration? resizing the migration may have you also reinstalling grub, so you will need a live ubuntu cd for that. | 06:09 |
| zack6849 | after i select a boot device it just shows this | 06:10 |

| crimsonmane | zack6849: you could have said you just get a blinking curser upper left corner. | 06:12 |
| zack6849 | i said that | 06:12 |
| crimsonmane | ajnr: you might need to run "chmod" on the directory to obtain ownership | 06:12 |
| zack6849 | they asked for images | 06:12 |
| namoamitabuddha | KatsumeBlisk: I knew that there was googlable log for #ubuntu, but something is private. | 06:12 |
| zack6849 | :/ | 06:12 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee yup I've got a LiveCD (that's how I installed Wubi in the first place, funnily enough...) I'll boot up my LiveCD, run GPartition, shrink the partition, check to see if it's still working, if so then I'll migrate it | 06:12 |
| KatsumeBlisk | !patience | ajnr | 06:12 |
| ubottu | ajnr: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:12 |
| zack6849 | crimsonmane do you have any clue what i did? | 06:13 |
| ajnr | crimsonmane, I did but dint get ! KatsumeBlisk , ok , ubottu , Sorry ! | 06:13 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, cool I would use the windows partitioner to be safe but it probably does not matter, your choice. | 06:13 |
| namoamitabuddha | wilee-nilee: Windows partitioner is DANGEROUS. | 06:13 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ajnr: Sorry about that. ubottu is a bot. I didn't realize someone answered, so I shouldn't have done that. Sorry. | 06:13 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ajnr: I was looking up the command because I don't frequent here as often as I should. :P | 06:13 |
| ajnr | crimsonmane, I gave chmod -R 777 <directory name> , but dint get the result ! | 06:14 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: you know what you did... what did you do before rebooting? is this an attempted first install? is this a LiveBoot? | 06:14 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee oh, you think the windows partitioner would be safer? | 06:14 |
| wilee-nilee | namoamitabuddha, not in resizing a windows partition with windows but this is a wubi, so it is a up in gthe air thing in my opinion. | 06:14 |
| crimsonmane | ajnr: i dont know much about chmod, but there's that plus maybe use sudo on your copy command. | 06:14 |
| escott | ajnr, silence is success | 06:14 |
| zack6849 | yes, attemted first install gone wrong, it froze during partitioning | 06:14 |
| ajnr | escott, :) | 06:14 |
| zack6849 | and my brilliant self decicded t reboot | 06:14 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, not sure this is a unusaul area for this channel really. | 06:14 |
| KatsumeBlisk | crimsonmane: He rebooted while partitioning froze. Now, he's just trying to boot from USB and it's failing. | 06:14 |
| namoamitabuddha | wilee-nilee: It would automatically delete filesystem unknown to windows, such as ext. Maybe it's deliberate. | 06:14 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: i suspect you did not correctly assign "/" | 06:14 |
| crimsonmane | OH | 06:15 |
| zack6849 | im sorry what? | 06:15 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee why the hunch that windows partitioner would be safer? do you think a LiveCD GPartition would be alright? | 06:15 |
| wilee-nilee | namoamitabuddha, there is no ext it is a ntfs wubi is a file in windows. | 06:15 |
| zack6849 | please tell me you have a solution! D: | 06:15 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, I think so I would not shrink it more then half for the migration, since that is a big HD, just to be safe. | 06:16 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: remove the HD, CD drive, etc and attempt to boot from usb again | 06:16 |
| namoamitabuddha | zack6849: imagebin ok? | 06:16 |
| crimsonmane | removing the power cable is enough | 06:16 |
| zack6849 | oh god | 06:17 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: wait wait | 06:17 |
| icequeen | wilnee-nilee, alright, I will shrink it to like 55% or something | 06:17 |
| ajnr | is it possible to move the data as a backup from one partition to another partion in duel boot system ! | 06:17 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: is your computer 32 bit and you downlaoded 64 bit? | 06:17 |
| zack6849 | nope | 06:17 |
| zack6849 | 64bit | 06:17 |
| zack6849 | downloaded 64bit | 06:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | crimsonmane: It's UEFI too just so you know. | 06:17 |
| crimsonmane | KatsumeBlisk: omg (barf) | 06:17 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, you can run a command to save all the installed apps in the ubuntu install, and then save any extra ppa's so if it breaks and you do a fresh install you could reload what you had. | 06:17 |
| crimsonmane | zack6849: has linux been installed on this machine previously? | 06:17 |
| zack6849 | it was at one tiime, on a vm though | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | icequeen, name of the apps not themselves | 06:18 |
| zack6849 | i didd a full blown install once before i upgraded my parts | 06:18 |
| icequeen | wilee-nilee aw sweet, what's the command? | 06:19 |

| isbric | Hi, i need to set env $HOST to whatever the user used to ssh to a host, is this posible? | 07:58 |
| isbric | ex: ssh joe@servicename.domain.tld "echo $HOST" shuld return servicename.domain.tld | 07:59 |
| PapaSierra | morning, i'd like to make a script that add a user with a USERNAME and PASSWORD as variables and also to give that user the ability to sudo. how do i do this as a script (no shell interaction allowed) | 08:00 |
| PapaSierra | isbric isn't that the same is "$ ssh joe@servicename.domain.tld hostname"? | 08:00 |
| isbric | no, thats the thing.. | 08:01 |
| isbric | hostname -fqdn isnt the same as the servicename | 08:01 |
| PapaSierra | ah | 08:01 |
| isbric | and i need to set PS1 to the servicename, not the hostname | 08:01 |
| isbric | and id like to have it dynamic | 08:01 |
| isbric | as of now im using /etc/servicename to store the hosts servicename, but in the case one host harbors more then one service id like it to use the domain used while connecting with ssh | 08:03 |
| ferni | PapaSierra: you could use something like "expect" or generate the password hash from script and update the users /etc/shadow entry | 08:04 |
| PapaSierra | ferni i believe what i'm trying to do is simpler: i.e. when i type $ adduser me it goes on to prompt me for a password. i just want to put my password as a command line arg instead of being prompted for it | 08:05 |
| PapaSierra | so i want something like: "adduser $LINUXUSER -p $LINUXPASS", only i don't think that -p is correct. but you get what i'm trying to do | 08:06 |

| crimsonmane | actually it's debian's, not ubuntu's | 08:08 |
| ferni | PapaSierra: oh you can also use usermod to set password | 08:08 |
| crimsonmane | use passwd to set passwords too | 08:09 |
| crimsonmane | but one of those... useradd or adduser i forget which... does the extra work of creating user folders, while the other one you ahve to set up every. little. thing. on. your. own. | 08:09 |
| PapaSierra | right but that still doesn't help me get past the prompts that adduser requests | 08:09 |
| PapaSierra | crimsonmane adduser does the extra work. useradd is the lowlevel one | 08:09 |
| B35m4 | @reuf, cant you just adjust through via the "display"menu? | 08:10 |
| crimsonmane | PapaSierra: then you wanna use the low level one and use all the proper tags. | 08:10 |
| PapaSierra | ok, since i'm new, but not totally incompitent, could you let me know a "checklist" of what the user needs? username, home dir, password, group? sudo group?? | 08:11 |

| ubottu | mjt: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 08:45 |
| TJ- | mjt: Rename the lightdm.conf upstart init job: "sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm" ... removing the .conf extension stops it being read by upstart... to reinstate it, just rename it back | 08:45 |
| mjt | the prob is that i can't get grub menu to work ;) | 08:45 |

| mjt | i'm debugging this very issue TJ- -- shift does not work | 08:46 |
| Snakepit | ... | 08:46 |

| mjt | i can only guess no "external" interrupts work at this stage | 08:47 |
| mjt | it appears to be a problem in a virtual machine, since previous version of it works fine | 08:47 |

| j`ey_w | im doing `ldd program` and getting libboost_iostreams.so.2 => not found | 08:58 |

| j`ey_w | (64bit machine, but trying to use 32bit programs0 | 08:58 |
| mjt | TJ-: it does not look like kernel-dependent. 3.0 and 3.2 both shows this issue nicely. | 08:58 |
| TJ- | mjt: I'm running 3.5 and 3.6 here; I'll try it on them | 08:59 |
| mjt | so... when booting, kernel switches to graphics mode. adding "text" to kernel command line (and it is present in /proc/cmdline) has no visible effect. | 08:59 |
| mjt | and it does not load any framebuffer modules (so apparently it is all built-in) | 09:00 |
| mjt | how to stop it from switching to graphics mode and from clearing screen? | 09:01 |
| mjt | hmm. i guess i can use serial console... | 09:01 |
| TJ- | mjt: remove "quiet splash" and add "debug" and optionally "single" for single-user root mode | 09:02 |
| mjt | no difference: still entering graphics mode and clearing screen | 09:03 |
| j`ey_w | is there a way to install 32bit boost libs? | 09:04 |

| johnwerneken | just setting up back tomorrow | 09:07 |
| TJ- | mjt: Maybe it's case that qemu-kvm isn't enabling it soon enough unless it needs it itself? | 09:08 |
| mjt | TJ-: "it" ? | 09:08 |
| TJ- | mjt: The irq stuff... I'm looking at the qemu-kvm source now, see what the patches are up to | 09:09 |
| mjt | TJ-: i'll just bisect the issue, now when i've a good reproducer | 09:09 |

| mjt | with -no-kvm-irqchip i can enter grub boot menu easily by pressing Shift. with kernel irqchip it does not show the menu at all. | 09:11 |

| mjt | TJ-: yes, with serial console (console=ttyS0 console=tty1) the menu works. | 09:13 |
| TJ- | mjt: that tells me that the irq enablement is probably not being done early enough if the console code doesn't force it... I'll know more once I've looked at the code | 09:15 |
| mahesh | how can i check a disk for file system errors, i have 2 bad sectors | 09:16 |

| ubottu | mahesh: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:17 |
| mjt | ThinkT510: this is fsck, and there's also badblocks -- probably more appropriate | 09:18 |

| Richard_Cavell | code0ps: what new C64? | 09:24 |
| B0073D | Hi Guys | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | 10.10 is EOL.. If a company is still using it.. well.. thats not really a good sign. | 09:24 |
| code0ps | http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_Home.aspx | 09:24 |
| B0073D | Im having an issue getting gps working on this laptop. | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | code0ps: last i heard of the C= variant. it was just a fancy theme/gnome setup.. not really much to be impressed by. | 09:25 |
| B0073D | I think I'm missing something fundamental here | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | code0ps: and it wouldent be supported here. since its not ubuntu. | 09:25 |
| lotuspsychje | lol press play on tape.... | 09:25 |
| code0ps | Yeah, we all have our own interests. | 09:25 |
| Richard_Cavell | code0ps: is it 100% compatible with C64? | 09:25 |
| code0ps | Anyway. The newer C64x is x86 core based. | 09:25 |
| B0073D | I can get the modem talking but as soon as I 'disconnect' (close cu) the modem stops talking. | 09:25 |
| code0ps | Should be. You can opt for the Intel i7 core. | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Its a PC running the Vice Eumlator last i checked.. | 09:26 |
| B0073D | Everything i've looked at seems to indicate that it shouldnt do that | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | lets keep it ontopic, is there a c64 emulator for ubuntu? | 09:26 |

| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, basically the server that is mounting the drive is a web server, so im trying to get my web files to upload files to this share. if i'm root i can do touch test.txt filne. and ls -al shows: drwxrwxrwx 2 root nogroup 0 Aug 9 2012 documents | 09:27 |
| Richard_Cavell | code0ps: wanna discuss it with me on some other channel? | 09:27 |
| Richard_Cavell | Maybe ##hardware | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | lotuspsychje: vice uses the standard C64 rom img and disk img formats.. used the same format for years.. | 09:27 |
| mjt | TJ-: fwiw, at that point the system successfully loaded grub from hdd, so interrupts ARE enabled ;) | 09:27 |
| code0ps | The C64x Supreme, http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64Select.aspx, should have the specs to run smoothly enough. | 09:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Dr_willis:ok tnx | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | My Cell Phone can run VICE these days. ;) | 09:28 |

| yousafse | lotuspysychje what about the security solution it suggests for ubuntu | 09:31 |

| TJ- | coregraphicos: create a Makefile then with the line CFLAGS="-std=c99" | 10:08 |
| coregraphicos | bazhang yes installation going on | 10:08 |
| coregraphicos | TJ- i think build essentials concept would work | 10:08 |
| TJ- | bazhang: His problem is, he's using C99 constructions and not telling gcc to use C99 | 10:09 |
| bazhang | coregraphicos, what are you trying to compile | 10:09 |
| bazhang | TJ-, thanks for the background info | 10:09 |
| TJ- | bazhang: Here's what he reported | 10:10 |
| TJ- | i am trying to compile c programme using make but it is giving the following output "data.c:18:5: error: ‘for’ loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode data.c:18:5: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile your code" | 10:10 |
| TJ- | bazhang: He doesn't have a Makefile so make is using implicit rules | 10:10 |
| coregraphicos | TJ- and Bazhang it didnt work after installing build essential | 10:11 |

| walent | Someone, help? | 10:36 |
| TJ- | mjt: Not so far... got myself engrossed in the source code still :) | 10:37 |
| Heinvdm | mjt: not a filesystem issue, the content of all the package lists are now a reply from the wifi proxy as if the update manager thought it was a valid reply and wrote it to the package list files | 10:37 |
| mjt | TJ-: okay, just curious. We'll work on this. | 10:37 |
| mjt | Heinvdm: i understand what you said the first time. It might actually be a filesystem issue. | 10:38 |
| mjt | Heinvdm: like cross-linked files | 10:38 |
| TJ- | Heinvdm: That's a well known problem with captive portals on WiFi networks that don't return an HTTP error code, so apt-get when updating writes the portal page into the Releases file it thought it had fetched | 10:38 |

| TJ- | Heinvdm: delete the file, then apt-get update on a non-captive network | 10:39 |
| mjt | but heck. it should not update the lists with garbage which is not gpg-signed properly! | 10:39 |
| icequeen | Also should I run GParted on Wubi Ubuntu or LiveCD Ubuntu? | 10:39 |
| MonkeyDust | icequeen better is to start over, i guess, forget wubi | 10:40 |
| TJ- | mjt: a bug in apt :) | 10:41 |
| mjt | TJ-: mine wont do that, it says "some files weren't checked so old copies were used" | 10:42 |
| BlueWolf | Hi, could someone tell me how I can get that notification window up for Rhythmbox so that when I am on another desktop and the song changes it appears in the top right hand corner? | 10:43 |
| mjt | it grabs ../Release file, parses it (should already detect captive network), and verifies the checksums of other lists with the Release file. | 10:43 |
| TJ- | mjt: We've seen the issue several times recently | 10:43 |
| mjt | but this is apt 0.9 | 10:43 |
| mjt | 0.9.7 | 10:44 |
| mjt | i think previous (major) version didn't do that | 10:44 |

| mjt | ~tj! :) | 10:44 |
| mjt | from debian experimental. oh well. this was first version with good multiarch support. | 10:45 |
| TJ- | mjt: yeah -- it includes a bug-fix for apt truncating netrc usernames to 64 bytes, when they can be close to 200... resulting in Ubuntu private PPAs paid-for apps not being able to authenticate to download them | 10:46 |

I installed Jupiter which helped a bit but i also decided to go a bit further and updated kernel 3.4 precise and everything now runs dead silen and really cool! also indexing is gone which was a major pain in win 7. Now since i'm still runing dual boot i'd like to ditch win completely and go with ubuntu only but i' | 12:36 |
| Supermicro | d like to do everything properly so when should i update kernel and how to disable updating older one or completely remove it without breaking anything (still new to linux and this is my second day using it :) ) Should i fresh install and update kernell right away or i need to do updates first?

| Supermicro | i'm not using enter it was automaticly splitted into new line, also i was hoping for some answers instead if warning :S | 12:41 |
| AdvoWork | TJ-, ill try noperm, the thing is, the shared folder is on a freenas/freebsd box where i can add smb/cifs shares | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | catalinb, sometimes the proprietary drivers and the open source are similar or the same , so there wouldn't be much point in changing , that's whay I asked | 12:42 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| theadmin | Bubbelgum: Compiz is a window manager/decorator providing tons of special effects | 12:44 |
| AdvoWork | TJ-, the noperm option made no difference. the thing is, its mounting the location, but if i do a ls, it lists nothing, but there are files on the shared server location :S | 12:44 |
| TJ- | AdvoWork: That was why I suggested noperm ... it stops the local system enforcing the permissions from the remote, where the UID/GIDs will likely not match the local users | 12:45 |
| catalinb | BluesKaj, by the same you mean that they provide the same features, right? I'll just stick to the open source one then. | 12:45 |
| catalinb | I was hoping to get some extra powersaving. | 12:46 |
| TJ- | AdvoWork: This sentence sums it up: "When you connect using CIFS to a server which supports Unix permissions (e.g. Samba), CIFS will by default try to enforce remote Unix ownership UIDs and Unix permissions when you try to access the share. i.e. if a file is owned by UID 502 on the remote server, then the local kernel will try to enforce the same permissions if it were owned by UID 502 on the local machine" | 12:46 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:49 |

| rood | hi quick question, I have a user that uploads files through ftp (ftpd) into the WWW folder (outside his home folder) but all the files get written as 700, and would love the files to be 755, any idea how? google aint helping me muchos | 13:08 |
| RAsputtin | thanks ceil | 13:08 |
| ceil | np | 13:08 |
| subz3r0 | rood, change the permissions of the ftpd | 13:08 |
| mmr | theadmin: like 'provides java-compiler' and both my package and openjdk does provide a 'java-compiler' | 13:08 |
| rood | subz3r0: how to do so? its just basic ftpd from aptitude | 13:09 |
| rood | and normal shell user | 13:09 |

| vachon | Pici: i posted there too, I'm wondering if its ubuntu specific (or at least bonding) | 13:18 |
| subz3r0 | MonkeyDust, why does it depends on how many kernels are stilll on the system? just curious? | 13:19 |
| subz3r0 | "depend" | 13:19 |
| s3r3n1t7 | vachon, in my (some what limited) experience, jumbo frames only cause a slow throughput if the backend either doesn't understand jumbo frames, or tries to split them up | 13:19 |

| vachon | s3r3n1t7: the san says nothing is fragmenting | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | subz3r0 my system was slow, too, after an upgrade, i then noticed there were several old kernels in / i deleted them, / load dropped to normal level problem solved, normal speed | 13:22 |
| subz3r0 | MonkeyDust, thats odd and should not be the problem. well it should not... weird | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | subz3r0 if / is 95% loaded, the system becomes slow | 13:23 |

| vachon | (san side) | 14:13 |
| aasu | why u say like that | 14:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | vachon, it doesn't need to retransmit, the TCP window tells the other side how much room it has in it's buffer before it's full ... repeated updates on a TCP window generally means it was full at one point .. | 14:14 |

| BlueWolf | Could someone tell me how I can get that notification window up for Rhythmbox so that when I am on another desktop and the song changes it appears in the top right hand corner? I have activated it but it's not working when the song changes? | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | wonder if android has a nx client. ;) | 14:44 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Dr_Willis, it doesn't yet, but there are very early alpha idea's | 14:45 |

| zcoob | i encounter a windows boot error after installing grub, status 0xc000000e. anyone know how to fix this? i mean i can fix it by using windows cd and repair it but id rather not encounter the problem at all. not sure what i did wrong | 14:47 |
| pr0ndigy | is there a way to make a program ALWAYS open in a certain workspace, even if that workspace isn't the one i'm looking at currently? | 14:51 |
| vachon | s3r3n1t7: even with a BS of 16M it can still bite me | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | compiz has some plugins for that pr0ndigy | 14:52 |

| bullitt | after editing the grub file from "quiet splash" to "text" -> i tried to change it back and it still loads to text mode.. any idea on why that is? | 14:52 |
| s3r3n1t7 | vachon, and if you read from /dev/zero? | 14:52 |
| vachon | urandom | 14:52 |
| vachon | i can try zero | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | bullitt: reran sudo update-grub ? | 14:52 |
| s3r3n1t7 | vachon, tyr a different source to see if that's not the problem | 14:52 |
| bullitt | Dr_Willis: ah that might be it | 14:53 |
| bullitt | going to try, thanks | 14:53 |

| s3r3n1t7 | vachon, i realised urandom needs to get a new source for it's randomness after so much data/time, figured it might be worth checking if that wasn't a problem | 14:54 |
| smokejoy | SAMBA issue: when I copy a file to a samba share from a windows machine, the time stamp and size of the file are as of the source file and the "Last Modified" time is not changed. Anybody has an idea for the reason or the solution? | 14:55 |

| smokejoy | Anybody familiar with samba | 14:59 |
| smokejoy | SAMBA issue: when I copy a file to a samba share from a windows machine, the time stamp and size of the file are as of the source file and the "Last Modified" time is not changed. Anybody has an idea for the reason or the solution? | 14:59 |
| L3top | Because the file was not modified smokejoy. Why is this a problem? As to a solution... you could touch it. | 15:00 |
| genii-around | smokejoy: "Last Modified" means the contents of the file were modified at that time. | 15:00 |
| smokejoy | ok | 15:00 |
| smokejoy | i will explain my need | 15:01 |
| BlueWolf | Dr_Willis: ??? | 15:01 |
| sciotric | hi | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueWolf: i dont even remember the problem | 15:01 |
| smokejoy | i have a script that has to automaticaly modify the file after it is copied | 15:01 |
| sciotric | #ububtu | 15:01 |
| smokejoy | but it has to wait until it is completely copied | 15:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | smokejoy, look into watcher: https://github.com/greggoryhz/Watcher | 15:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | smokejoy, it can watch a folder for various activity, including close. Can call a script when those events are fired | 15:02 |
| Dr_Willis | theres the watch command also. | 15:03 |
| L3top | smokejoy: you can do a cp command and then a touch command. The touch will not occur until the cp is finished. | 15:03 |
| iceroot | inotify is the correct way to react on file-changes | 15:03 |
| BlueWolf | Dr_Willis: Ok the notification window ( Shows the song cover, name and album) that pops up in the top right hand corner when you change a song? Where do you activate it in plugins - Which one is it? | 15:04 |
| TadekMocarzz | HI HELO | 15:04 |

| tier1 | hi | 15:07 |
| David|BR | hi | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | TadekMocarzz: if you dont like unity, theres lubuntu and xubuntu | 15:07 |
| TadekMocarzz | How am i supposed to work on something like that? | 15:07 |
| TadekMocarzz | the distortion is that text and button are blurry and are size of elephant | 15:07 |
| TadekMocarzz | yes, but can i install other gui into that virtual machine ? i dont want to reinstall entire os | 15:07 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: That is NOT a screenshot, it is a website. | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | TadekMocarzz: trivial to install other de's | 15:07 |
| usr13 | TadekMocarzz: What is your native language? | 15:08 |
| L3top | !screenshot | TadekMocarzz | 15:08 |
| ubottu | TadekMocarzz: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 15:08 |
| tier1 | whats up everybodhy | 15:08 |
| DJones | TadekMocarzz: You need to show a screenshot, all you've done is link to a random website | 15:08 |
| Agamemnus | Is there a sane way to download getlibs? | 15:08 |
| TadekMocarzz | OK I WILL MAKE SCREENSHOT | 15:08 |
| L3top | and drop the all caps. | 15:08 |
| k1l | TadekMocarzz: just use Lubuntu or Xubuntu and everything is fine. you can install it from your unity desktop by installing xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop | 15:08 |
| usr13 | L3top: I don't think a screenshot will help us all that much. He obviously has a video driver issue, or just screensize | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | you can reduce the launcher left side icon size in the settings.. somewhee | 15:09 |
| L3top | and again... WHAT have you installed in this virtual desktop TadekMocarzz? | 15:09 |
| TadekMocarzz | nothing, i downloaded VM image | 15:09 |
| TadekMocarzz | it was already installed, its ubuntu 11.10 | 15:09 |
| k1l | im sure its unity2d | 15:09 |
| subz3r0 | TadekMocarzz, which virtual machine have you downloaded? im curious. there arent any official ubuntu vms. or well i dont know em? | 15:10 |
| L3top | usr13: as near as I can decipher he is referring to something INSIDE a vm... | 15:10 |
| TadekMocarzz | its not official | 15:10 |
| L3top | what is the host operating system TadekMocarzz | 15:10 |
| subz3r0 | how is it called? | 15:10 |
| usr13 | L3top: Oh, ok. Well, I stand corrected. | 15:10 |
| TadekMocarzz | windows xp | 15:10 |
| subz3r0 | whats the name of the virtual machine you've downloaed? | 15:10 |
| Agamemnus | oh, crap. I can't find getlibs anywhere. Anyone got a link? | 15:10 |
| smplman | anyone here do bitcoin mining? | 15:11 |
| TadekMocarzz | i got it from there | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu is rather quick to install in a vm. ;) | 15:11 |
| TadekMocarzz | Ubuntu VM (405MB) | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | 405 seems small.. | 15:11 |
| subz3r0 | Dr_Willis, that doesnt matter. sounded to me like hes trying to get BT working. if yes, it doesnt belong to this channel | 15:12 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: your issue is unsupported. There is no way to know what the deal is with some random VM. Download an actual install cd, mount the iso in the VM and install it. | 15:12 |
| Agamemnus | doesn't it require like 4 gigs? | 15:12 |
| subz3r0 | and yes, 405 looks pretty small | 15:12 |
| Guest43592 | ok | 15:12 |
| Agamemnus | try using Oracle VM. | 15:12 |
| Guest43592 | seriously | 15:12 |
| Eked | I have Linux MInt with some partitions (/usr/local /home...). I want to install Ubuntu but I dont want to remake the partitions. Can Ubuntu recognize and use that partitions? | 15:12 |
| TadekMocarzz | what is more normal (similar to windows 95) in terms of gui: lubuntu or xubuntu ? or other | 15:12 |
| TadekMocarzz | http://wereproxy.com/ | 15:12 |
| TadekMocarzz | i want to have small icons and buttons, and text blur need to be disabled | 15:12 |
| subz3r0 | eked: yes, use gparted | 15:12 |
| L3top | stop spamming that website TadekMocarzz. | 15:12 |
| L3top | I am beginning to believe you do not have an issue at all. | 15:13 |
| Eked | subz3r0: I dont want to create the partitions, I want Ubuntu to use them. | 15:13 |
| TadekMocarzz | which website? | 15:13 |
| k1l | Eked: you want to install ubuntu into the mint partitions(and know, that mint will get deletet) | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu is the lightest old skool type de. | 15:13 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: your issue is unsupported. The end. | 15:13 |
| subz3r0 | Eked, so where is the problem? ofc you can use em, but Mint is gone then | 15:13 |
| TadekMocarzz | can i install lubuntu inside ubuntu 11.10 | 15:13 |
| coellobranco | sorry, i have a problem with hp drivers of www.hplipopensource.com, install driver for hp laserjet m1132 but hp device manager show: device communication error. Thanks! (ubuntu 12.04 64 bits) | 15:13 |
| Eked | k1l: no problem, I dont like Mint. But will Ubuntu recognize /home or it will be like a mounted volume? | 15:13 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: s/lubuntu/lxde/ ;) | 15:13 |
| subz3r0 | TadekMocarzz, yes... use a vm | 15:13 |
| TadekMocarzz | L3top: text blur is unsupported? | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | TadekMocarzz: via the package manager. yes | 15:14 |
| TadekMocarzz | ok thanks will do | 15:14 |
| k1l | Eked: you can choose the partitions manually during the installation process | 15:14 |
| L3top | your random vmi download inside of windows is unsupported TadekMocarzz... yes... and the fact that you keep spamming a website does not help your case. | 15:14 |
| Eked | k1l: sould I just change the Mint / to the Ubuntu /? | 15:14 |
| k1l | Eked: so instead of creating new ones you can use the existing ones and format it | 15:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Agamemnus, I can't find much on getlibs I think it is probably not supported or very popular, seems like a bad idea to be honest. | 15:15 |
| Eked | k1l: if I format them I will lost my data, I dont want that. | 15:15 |
| TadekMocarzz | L3top im not spamming nothing, i just wanted to ask why eveything looks like for 3year kid in ubuntu 11.10 | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Eked: make backups in any case | 15:15 |
| TadekMocarzz | like it was made for* | 15:15 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: you most certainly ARE spamming a website. You have given it 3 times insisting it is a screenshot. | 15:15 |
| k1l | !notunity | TadekMocarzz | 15:15 |
| ubottu | TadekMocarzz: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 15:15 |
| usr13 | Agamemnus: Maybe the server you are trying to access is temporarily off-line. | 15:15 |
| pr0ndigy | Does anyone know of a program like Quicken that can connect to banks and download transactions automatically? | 15:16 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: open a terminal in your vm and give me the output of lsb_release -sc | 15:16 |
| wilee-nilee | TadekMocarzz, you have a 3rd party download, none of us are familiar with it seems your questions may be moot here. | 15:16 |
| Agamemnus | usr13: ? | 15:16 |
| k1l | TadekMocarzz: but noone knows what system you are using since its no official one | 15:16 |
| L3top | I expect this will never occur, because I do not believe you have an issue at all... but are spamming/trolling | 15:16 |

| despe70 | I have a linux webserver running Ubuntu, and a couple of Windows clients. I'd like to share (part of) my webserver-disk with those windows clients. I know about Samba, but would that also work when the webserver is not on the local LAN but on the internet? How could I make it work? | 15:24 |
| TadekMocarzz | will update | 15:24 |
| bekks | despe70: That wont work. And you should never use Samba on a webserver. Never. Never. | 15:24 |
| BlueWolf | Does anyone know much about Rhythmbox here. Where do I activate the Notification window so that when the song changes it appears to show the song name and album cover? | 15:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | despe70, you can't use samba for that. What you can do, is use sshfs on a local server that's on the LAN and use those folders for samba. Else you'll be stuck with something like winscp to share those files. | 15:24 |
| L3top | It is a random vmi you have loaded... who knows what it is. Iasked for those things to see if it was A what it was reported to be, and B if it existed at all... TadekMocarzz | 15:24 |
| Dr_Willis | despe70: you want to access the files from the internet? ssh and winscp are handy for that | 15:24 |
| zcoob | i have an issue with my dual boot. ubuntu boots fine but windows doesn't. my /boot/grub/menu.lst entry for windows looks like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1137960/ . i can repair this problem with my windows 7 dvd but i wouldl ike to know why this happens. anyone? | 15:25 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: again... at the end of the day... you need to just download an actual official ubuntu install cd, and boot to that, and do an official install. This will probably fix any issues you are having. | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | zcoob: what ubuntu version you using? | 15:25 |
| zcoob | 12.04 but still using grub 1 | 15:26 |
| TadekMocarzz | L3top but you dont understand.. it will be same | 15:26 |
| usr13 | despe70: Maybe you should reveal your end goal. (We might be able to provide a solution.) | 15:26 |

| Dr_Willis | thats.. weird... | 15:26 |
| TadekMocarzz | L3top the screenshot from ubuntu are same | 15:26 |
| Squall5668 | TadekMocarzz: it could help if we could see the screenshot | 15:26 |
| TadekMocarzz | yes im uploading | 15:26 |
| L3top | TadekMocarzz: You say that this is the case... but you have not done it. If it is the case, then the problem is with your windows VM | 15:26 |
| TadekMocarzz | to the site u gave me | 15:26 |
| usr13 | despe70: Maybe scp is all you need? | 15:26 |
| despe70 | usr13: the end goal is to allow my team to easily share a couple of documents. WinSCP is certainly a way to do it, but that requires copying the files back and foth to the sever. If I could alllow all client-computers to (automatically) connect to a mapped network drive, that would be easier. The client computers are not all/always on the same LAN ... some work from home etc . | 15:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | despe70, unfortunately, that's not possible from windows. | 15:28 |
| end_guy | despe70: www.dropbox.com | 15:28 |
| despe70 | end_guy: yes, dropbox.com came to mind ... | 15:28 |
| Pici | despe70: Perhaps WebDAV? | 15:28 |
| usr13 | despe70: Why does the file sharing need to happen on the webserver? | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu one ;) | 15:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | despe70, actually, owncloud also comes to mind ... | 15:28 |
| bekks | despe70: Then setup a VPN or WebDAV on your server, or otherwise everyone else in the world will access your files too. | 15:28 |
| usr13 | despe70: Are these files also served by the webserver to the internet? | 15:29 |
| end_guy | Dr_Willis: Ubuntu One can work too :-) | 15:29 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| despe70 | usr13: "needs" to be on the webserver so that everybody can access from everywhere - not just from the local LAN. Most of those files are internal-use only, not for the public | 15:29 |

| end_guy | despe70: You can do many things with Amazon S3 too | 15:30 |
| bekks | despe70: Entirely broken setup. Sharing your files using your webserver implies heavy security concerns. If you want to share them securely, use a VPN. | 15:30 |
| despe70 | bekks: yes. wondering if i could trigger vpn to automatically sign in. But when it does, all otehr internet-trafic is sent via the webserver too, which is of course not optimal | 15:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | despe70, that can be avoided actually, in the preferences you can disable the default gateway | 15:32 |

| despe70 | i know it's not an easy solution. i was considering dropbox.com, I could consider VPN, ... but I was hoping I was overlooking some better solution :) | 15:32 |
| L3top | that is NOT a screenshot | 15:32 |
| Squall5668 | hahahahaha | 15:32 |
| bekks | despe70: No. :) Dont mix up your webserver's being a VPN client. It is the VPN server. :) | 15:32 |

| Guest54329 | hi everyone | 15:34 |
| Guest54329 | I-m having troubles when installing ubuntu alongside windows 7 | 15:34 |
| Guest54329 | It aborts partitioning process >c | 15:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest54329 in the live session? | 15:35 |
| Guest54329 | cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 7, it fails when prtiotioning and aborts partitioning | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | If you have 4 primary partitions on the windows box Guest54329 you are going to have to do some work | 15:37 |
| zack6849 | hey guys, if i wanted to make a partition for ubuntu and windows to both be able to read and write to, how would i go about that? | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | or use a 2nd hd. | 15:37 |
| Guest54329 | I've gost just one primary winth windows and a logical with my data | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zack6849: ubuntu can read/writr ntfs | 15:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zack6849, one would use a fat or ntfs partition | 15:37 |
| zack6849 | ntfs? :D | 15:38 |
| zack6849 | alright | 15:38 |
| zack6849 | ^_^ | 15:38 |
| zack6849 | thanks | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest54329: pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' | 15:38 |
| Guest54329 | when I click install alongside windows option | 15:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest54329 choose 'something else' | 15:38 |
| Guest54329 | It picks the primary and I resize it, but it keeps aborting | 15:39 |
| zack6849 | and what format should i use for the main ubbuntu drive? | 15:39 |
| zack6849 | i have ntsf and exFAT | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest54329: its also a good idea to have backups of imporntant files... befor you do the install | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | zack6849 during install, you can format it to ext4 | 15:39 |
| zack6849 | should i just use ntsf for the main ubuntu partition too? | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | zack6849: ubuntu hd cant be ntfs | 15:39 |
| zack6849 | oh okay | 15:39 |
| zack6849 | so it doesnt matter at the moment? | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | use ext4 | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | zack6849 idd | 15:40 |
| Lost_Cause | windows just can't write to ext4 | 15:40 |
| digitalirony | Repos going slow for updates for anyone else? | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt. use the default.. | 15:40 |
| zack6849 | im using windows partitioner to prepare to install ubuntu | 15:40 |
| zack6849 | havent installed it yet | 15:40 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| Dr_Willis | zack6849: then leave the space unallocated | 15:40 |
| MonkeyDust | zack6849 not necessary, intaller does all | 15:40 |
| zack6849 | oh alright | 15:40 |
| zack6849 | then hopefully i wont be back with a problem | 15:40 |
| digitalirony | you will be | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | last night i broke my qhole bootloader | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | -_- | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | *whole | 15:41 |
| digitalirony | it happens | 15:41 |
| digitalirony | but you know not to do that again right? | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | yeah, lucky me, any ideas as to why ubuntu instaler would completely hang up on the partitioning step? | 15:41 |
| digitalirony | so means your learning, just keep breaking shit and then fixing it | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | it was on it for like an hour | 15:41 |
| digitalirony | how big is the partition? | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | which is when i decded to reboot and broke everything | 15:41 |
| zack6849 | i ws doing 2x 500gb | 15:42 |
| digitalirony | and is it a laptop? | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | nope | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | gaming rig style | 15:42 |
| digitalirony | hrmm | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | 12gb ram, 4 core cpu etc | 15:42 |
| Lost_Cause | zack6849: that isn't going to be the fastest but it shouldn't be an hour. | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | well ill check back shortly | 15:42 |
| digitalirony | could try to like, boot the installer with acpi=off that may help | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | alright | 15:42 |
| zack6849 | bai | 15:42 |
| digitalirony | anyway, apt-get update is just chillin at 100% wiating for headers | 15:43 |
| digitalirony | any ideas? | 15:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | digitalirony, patience? | 15:45 |
| digitalirony | I have been waiting for a while | 15:45 |
| digitalirony | it just sits | 15:45 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cancel it and restart | 15:46 |
| digitalirony | s3r3n1t7: tried that a few times | 15:46 |
| s3r3n1t7 | it should tell you the site it's trying to access. Can you open that just fine in a browser? | 15:47 |
| digitalirony | well I can on my machine | 15:47 |

| TadekMocarzzzz | the thing is it looks very bad, i cant work on it | 15:49 |
| TadekMocarzzzz | too big icons to click | 15:49 |
| digitalirony | s3r3n1t7: don't tell people to wget anyway, they should use curl or GET | 15:49 |
| digitalirony | wget downloads the page, and if they are dumb they may do it in a public_html and overwrite their index.html | 15:50 |
| s3r3n1t7 | digitalirony, the whole point was to download the page .... just to be sure that the repo page it's trying to access at least works as it should. | 15:50 |
| digitalirony | thats why you use GET or curl | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest54329 keep it in the channel | 15:51 |
| digitalirony | it doesn't download it, just displays the HTML | 15:51 |
| digitalirony | still proves connectivity | 15:51 |
| TadekMocarzzzz | how can i install a package | 15:51 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| s3r3n1t7 | unfortunately, no it doesn't. If the connection cuts out midway you would still see most of the page, whereas wget would complain. However, if you do not like my suggestions then you are free not to follow them. | 15:51 |

| usr13 | faenil: udev is the device manager for the Linux kernel | 16:29 |
| mneptok | faenil: "give" | 16:29 |
| dylan | ElGalambo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher should help | 16:29 |
| faenil | I think I should change the question...how can I change the name a linux device sends when it is connected? | 16:29 |
| faenil | :) | 16:29 |
| TJ- | faenil: The name you see is the "label" you give to the file-system | 16:30 |
| usr13 | faenil: What you probably want to do is to create a fstab entry for the device. THat way you can assign a persistant mount point | 16:30 |
| ElGalambo | dylan I read a lot of stuff. I want it on the right | 16:30 |
| TJ- | faenil: if you haven't given the file-system a label you'll see the UUID - a weird-looking mix of alpha-numerics | 16:30 |
| john515 | how can I run an *.rb file run at startup? (it's a flash policy daemon for a webpage with a chat applet), I haven't got it to run through /etc/init or /etc/init.d so far :/ | 16:30 |
| ElGalambo | dylan I found dockbarx which is a panel replacement | 16:30 |
| faenil | TJ-, like I connect a phone via USB | 16:31 |
| faenil | it is shown as "Samsung A" | 16:31 |
| faenil | but it's actually "Samsung B" | 16:31 |
| leoleon | somebody knows a ERP software that is free or cheap where I can develop in java to personalize it | 16:31 |
| usr13 | TJ-: I think we should teach him how to create a fstab entry containing the UUID and a mount point of his choosing. | 16:31 |
| faenil | what should I change on that device to make it send the correct name? | 16:31 |
| faenil | usr13, it's not about ubuntu configurations | 16:31 |
| bieb | I have a print script I have to run for all users when they login, it is in /usr/local/pcut/ how do I set this up? | 16:31 |
| faenil | it's more about linux in generale | 16:32 |
| digitalirony | hrmm, something is wrong with apt on this ubuntu machine....another machine in the same subnet works just fine | 16:32 |
| faenil | I want to fix the device, not ubuntu | 16:32 |
| digitalirony | I tried cleaning and stuffs, but it just cant seem to update my repos | 16:32 |
| usr13 | faenil: Ok, well how is it showing up now? | 16:32 |
| faenil | it's showing the wrong name, so it must be a bug in the files I have on the device | 16:32 |
| faenil | but I don't know where to look | 16:33 |
| trism | bieb: create a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/ would work with a variety of desktops | 16:33 |
| faenil | suppose it's showing "Samsung A", I want it to tell ubuntu that it is "Samsung B" not samsung a | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | faenil 'the wrong name'? | 16:33 |
| savio | anyone | 16:33 |
| john515 | um, can somebody help here too? | 16:33 |
| faenil | MonkeyDust, yes they probably forgot to change some config on the device | 16:33 |
| TJ- | faenil: You can use, from the terminal, the command "sudo dosfslabel /dev/SOMEDEVICE new-label" for a FAT32 DOS file-system that is typically used in mobile phones | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | savio anyone is not here today | 16:33 |
| savio | MonkeyDust, stop joking | 16:34 |
| faenil | TJ-, problem is that's not a fix, that just makes Ubuntu see it as a different name | 16:34 |
| savio | MonkeyDust, its serious | 16:34 |
| heisenmink | how do I change my icons in newest ubuntu? I installed an icon pack to /usr/share/icons and relogged, but I guess there's an additional step? | 16:34 |
| corny | buna | 16:34 |
| MonkeyDust | faenil you don't mean the /dev name? | 16:34 |
| faenil | TJ-, I will still see the wrong name if I connect it to another machine | 16:34 |
| trism | heisenmink: use gnome-tweak-tool or myunity | 16:34 |
| faenil | MonkeyDust, I mean the name that is shown in the connection manager on top right when you connect something | 16:34 |
| TJ- | faenil: no you won't. That command will change the label on the file-system | 16:34 |
| bekks | faenil: What do you mean by "wrong name"? What do you actually get and what do you want it to be? | 16:35 |
| bieb | trism: it is a script.. printer.sh can that be used in the desktop file? I dont want it to show as an icon on the desktop | 16:35 |
| heisenmink | trism: which one do you recommend most? | 16:35 |
| trism | bieb: yeah, just use it on the Exec= line | 16:35 |
| faenil | bekks, it shows "Samsung A" but the phone is actually "Samsung B" | 16:35 |
| mobhero | Hello Tech guys... | 16:35 |
| trism | heisenmink: if you use unity and don't want to pull in gnome-shell, then myunity, otherwise I'd prefer gnome-tweak-tool | 16:35 |
| bieb | trism: thanks | 16:35 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| faenil | bekks, so they probably forgot to change some config on the phone | 16:35 |
| trism | bieb: it won't show as an icon, and if you use the NoDisplay=true line, it won't even show in gnome-session-properties | 16:36 |
| bekks | faenil: What exactly do you get, what do you expect? Dont tell us "A" and "B" please. | 16:36 |
| mobhero | how can we calculate the date formate /etc/shadow file (3 rd field) | 16:36 |
| faenil | TJ-, but still, I'd like to be able to change the config on the device, not force it to show another thing :) | 16:36 |
| mobhero | pls answer us | 16:36 |
| TJ- | faenil: As we've already said ... that name comes from the file-system's label. change the label, that's it. | 16:36 |
| faenil | bekks, real names won't be much different, so that doesn't really matter | 16:36 |
| savio | help me | 16:36 |
| zack6849 | how do i change directories in linux via terminal? | 16:36 |
| Fuchs | zack6849: cd | 16:36 |
| zack6849 | i need to cd to my downloads folder | 16:36 |
| faenil | TJ-, and which files do I have to change on the device? not from ubuntu :) | 16:36 |
| joa_ | hello, is it somehow possible to have a *.desktop launcher pinned to the launcher bar which executes a command and hide the terminal? | 16:37 |
| Fuchs | zack6849: well, yes, then cd it is :p (note that the tab key will help you completing file- and foldernames) | 16:37 |
| === altair is now known as Guest84437 | ||
| zack6849 | i know about cd, but what would the path be? | 16:37 |
| Fuchs | zack6849: that we can't know | 16:37 |
| joa_ | e.g. i want to start sublime text 2 and therefore i create a launcher that executes .../sublime_text but i do not want to have the extra terminal window open | 16:37 |
| TJ- | faenil: You don't. It's the file-system label. Once it is changed all devices will see the new label | 16:37 |
| faenil | suppose you have to configure a CD to install a linux distro which will show as "Magic Ubuntu" when you'll connect a machine using that distro to another machine | 16:37 |
| zack6849 | well whats the usual file path to a dwnload folder? | 16:37 |
| zack6849 | ive never used ubuntu or luinux, ive used windows pretty much my whole life | 16:38 |
| zack6849 | im lost | 16:38 |
| faenil | TJ-, so they issue a terminal command on all phones before sending them to stores? :D | 16:38 |
| Fuchs | zack6849: maybe your ~.config/user-dirs.dirs has an XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR, but then applications are still free to ignore that | 16:38 |
| mneptok | zack6849: stop installing that ATI driver you just downloaded. | 16:38 |
| john515 | can somebody tell me why I get "command not found"? My script is placed in /etc/init.d , I registered it with update-rc.d , and it's code is the following: http://pastebin.com/S1NMzFUi | 16:38 |
| mneptok | zack6849: you are making a bad decision. | 16:38 |
| zack6849 | mneptok, DON'T install it? o_0 | 16:38 |
| TJ- | faenil: I give up. You obviously know more than me on this. | 16:38 |
| === jonas_ is now known as Guest70426 | ||
| mneptok | zack6849: yes. do NOT install that. | 16:38 |
| faenil | TJ-, is that ironic? I'm really trying to understand :) but I think you're not getting my point :) | 16:39 |
| zack6849 | well i need the driver and the one from the default driver thing didnt install properly | 16:39 |
| leoleon | somebody knows a ERP,PPM or CRM software that is free or cheap where I can develop in java to personalize it | 16:39 |
| zack6849 | eclipse perhaps? | 16:40 |
| mneptok | zack6849: it is not in any way tied to the Ubuntu package system. it is installed by you alone. you alone will need to maintain it. if you ever get a kernel upgrade, you will boot into the terminal, reconfigure the latest driver to match the latest kernel, enable the module, reboot, and check X configuration. you know how to do all that, right? | 16:40 |
| zack6849 | lolnope | 16:40 |
| mobhero | we couldn't find the when the passwd has been changed for the user.. I know one thing only that is this information is in /etc/shadow file. | 16:40 |
| mneptok | zack6849: then as i said, you do not NEED 3D acceleration. | 16:40 |
| TJ- | faenil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive | 16:40 |
| faenil | TJ-, maybe this is a better question then, how do I change the label if you have the image of that filesystem? :) | 16:40 |
| zack6849 | lol, alrighty then | 16:40 |
| john515 | anyone? | 16:41 |
| zack6849 | "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. | 16:41 |
| zack6849 | Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" | 16:41 |
| Oxnard_Dogg | <john515> which command is not found the acutal script command that runs the script? | 16:41 |
| bekks | mobhero: "The date of the last password change, expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970" | 16:41 |
| Jake71 | question: What does the "1:" in the version mean? ex. 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu4 | 16:41 |
| mneptok | zack6849: can you see a GUI? | 16:41 |
| SnapSnap | As my computer boots, right before 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 it boots and functions normally after about five seconds. fstab says "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0" | 16:41 |
| zack6849 | right now yes | 16:41 |
| TJ- | faenil: You'd loop-mount the image so it appears as a device (/dev/loopX) and then address it the same way as any other device | 16:41 |
| zack6849 | i see everything | 16:41 |
| mneptok | zack6849: then *what do you need another driver for*? | 16:42 |
| zack6849 | im just wanting my dual screen capabilities | 16:42 |
| faenil | TJ-, that requires changing the name from my ubuntu machine...while I want to change the name from the device itself, is that doable? | 16:42 |
| trism | Jake71: it is the epoch, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html | 16:42 |
| TJ- | SnapSnap: It's a well known very obscure issue we've been working on for a while. Don't worry unduly... its caused by the mounts being done in parallel. | 16:42 |
| Jake71 | Got it! Thanks! | 16:42 |
| TJ- | faenil: That would depend on the device itself, and the OS and tools on it. | 16:42 |
| john515 | can somebody tell me why I get "command not found"? My script is placed in /etc/init.d , I registered it with update-rc.d , and it's code is the following: http://pastebin.com/S1NMzFUi | 16:43 |
| mneptok | zack6849: http://linux.die.net/man/4/radeon | 16:43 |
| SnapSnap | TJ-: So I'm safe to ignore it until it's patched? | 16:43 |
| TJ- | john515: Did you make the script executable using "sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/myscript" ? | 16:43 |
| bekks | john515: What are the permissions of that file? | 16:43 |
| zack6849 | mneptok, my video card isnt listed there | 16:44 |
| Oxnard_Dogg | <john515> which "command not found ?? | 16:44 |
| faenil | TJ-, it is a linux-based OS, are more details needed? or is it the same for all linux devices? | 16:44 |
| Oxnard_Dogg | script cvommand? | 16:44 |
| mneptok | zack6849: start looking at the (already installed) program xrandr | 16:44 |
| Oxnard_Dogg | or some command inside the srcipt? | 16:44 |
| TJ- | SnapSnap: Yes ... we've been investigating it for a long while and I get it here on one of my servers but we've not yet figured out why :s | 16:44 |
| soliloquy | Hello. I used Ubuntu for a few years up until a couple of years ago when my school required that I buy a Mac. I'm not considering using Ubuntu again but I'm not sure. I'm a themer, and I see that GTK2 is now replaced in part by GTK3…. is there any GTK3 pixmap engine, or anything like it? | 16:44 |

| designbybeck | how do I setup a basic mailserver on Ubuntu? I need SMTP | 16:45 |
| designbybeck | sudo apt-get install smtp !? | 16:45 |
| TJ- | faenil: Unless the device provides a GUI way to change the label of the file-system I'd think you may have to custom-compile tools to change the label. At the base level, if the OS has at least the "dd" tool, you could figure out the exact position of the label on the file-system and use "dd" to just overwrite the bytes that represent the label | 16:45 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: "sudo apt-get install postfix" | 16:46 |
| zack6849 | mneptok, i have absolutley no idea what im looking at | 16:46 |
| designbybeck | ah! Thank you TJ | 16:46 |
| mneptok | designbybeck: if all you need is SMTP, exim is probably the easiest to install and configure. | 16:46 |
| LoT | what's the package name for "archive manager"? is it file-roller? (in default Ubuntu 12.10) | 16:46 |
| LoT | s/12.10/12.04/ | 16:46 |
| designbybeck | I think it was postfix I installed before mneptok I just couldn't remember | 16:46 |
| trism | soliloquy: we use unico by default, and there is adwaita too included with gtk3 | 16:46 |
| TJ- | LoT: yes file-roller is the GUI archiver | 16:46 |
| mneptok | designbybeck: postfix is more feature complete. exim is more straightforward, | 16:47 |
| faenil | TJ-, I can change the firmware of the device, the kernel, and everything... | 16:47 |
| faenil | I just need to know where that label is stored :D | 16:47 |
| heisenmink | Error 5: dependency not met: gawk not found in path | 16:47 |

| zack6849 | ill go see if i cant find a guide on the internet somewhere | 16:47 |
| TJ- | faenil: Then you can overwrite the label in the image at the offset it is at... I think FAT32 file-system labels are maximum of 8.3 bytes (as per the old DOS max size) | 16:47 |
| soliloquy | trism: yes, but do ALL elements have to be coded via CSS, or can you tell it "draw the button using this image in this location?" for whatever you'd like? | 16:47 |
| TJ- | faenil: If you know the current label ... you can search the file-system image for it, and know you can overwrite at most 11 bytes from the start of the label | 16:48 |
| mneptok | zack6849: graphics companies treat their work like state secrets. this is only now begininng to change. on Linux you are left with giant binary blobs that are almost unmaintaniable, or reverse-engineered work that assumes you know your way around a Unix command line. | 16:48 |
| faenil | TJ-, ok, I thought there was some known file for that, that's why I asked here :) thanks anyway! ^^ I'll look for it ;) | 16:48 |
| mneptok | zack6849: do a YouTube search for "linus torvalds nvidia" to see why this stuff doesn't "Just Work" in anything but closed, proprietary OSes. | 16:49 |
| trism | soliloquy: oh, I imagine you can still use images, look at the Ambiance theme, there are a bunch of images in the gtk-3.0/assets folder | 16:49 |
| TJ- | faenil: As I said, if you can loop-mount the file-system image on a Linux box, you can use the tools referred to in that web-page I referred you to | 16:49 |
| mneptok | zack6849: that video has NSFW language. | 16:49 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| faenil | ok | 16:49 |

| john515 | oh | 16:51 |
| john515 | from terminal it does work though | 16:52 |
| john515 | have I done something wrong within the script? | 16:52 |

| TJ- | john515: and the EISDIR means Error Is A Directory | 16:52 |
| bekks | john515: We have no clue, what you've done - when not running an init script from the terminal. | 16:52 |
| TJ- | john515: so look at the --log setting "/usr/local/lib/flashpolicyd/flashpolicyd.log" - it is saying that is a directory, not a file! | 16:52 |
| faenil | usr13, no that's not it ;) | 16:52 |

| harnek | i want to do a fresh install like have it completely refresh | 17:08 |

| harnek | How owuld I do that? my laptop has no cd drive and I have no usb key. Is there an easy installer for linux? | 17:08 |

| TJ- | zack6849: My first port of call with these things is to check for the most recent additions to the system logs by doing "ls -ltr /var/log/" and then viewing the most recently changed log files (after having done something that didn't work out) to see if they contain clues | 17:28 |
| john515 | oh, since zack mentioned gpu stuff | 17:28 |
| TJ- | john515: uhoh! | 17:28 |
| john515 | in the early days, I tried to give it a go with that quakelive, but I suspect I got a gpu lock | 17:29 |
| john515 | doesn't the driver restart on it's own if it crashes? | 17:29 |
| TJ- | zack6849: From the dash "log file viewer" will allow you to open the log files you want to view | 17:31 |

| TJ- | zack6849: using the "log file viewer" | 17:32 |
| john515 | ah | 17:32 |
| john515 | he's not using terminal :P | 17:32 |
| zack6849 | that would make sense.. | 17:32 |
| TJ- | john515: No, it's better to use the GUI since it handles opening and presenting files with root-only privileges | 17:32 |
| zack6849 | now what exactly should i be looking for? | 17:32 |
| john515 | only if you're in the vincinity of the system though\ | 17:32 |

| john515 | yeap | 17:37 |
| john515 | I know that cmd | 17:37 |
| TJ- | john515: For permissions " ls -l" generally. "-d" will list directory entries themselves, rather than their contents | 17:37 |
| john515 | I've been running into an issue that I was getting garbage with that command latelly | 17:38 |
| john515 | (through putty) | 17:38 |
| TJ- | Usually you want to list the files rather than the single directory ... using "-a" is always handy since it reveals 'hidden' files (those starting with a .) | 17:38 |
| TJ- | john515: Incorrect encoding maybe? | 17:38 |

| john515 | example of an output | 17:39 |
| TJ- | john515: That does look like an encoding issue | 17:40 |

| john515 | both are facing the issue | 17:40 |
| john515 | but you're correct, must be encoding | 17:40 |
| TJ- | john515: if it happens from both then my guess is you've been customised the terminal with escape sequences in something like .bashrc | 17:40 |
| digitalirony | It seems like it either is not connecting to puppetmaster, or is not able to query for information (both on same host machine) | 17:40 |
| kaoruko_ | Uhm, Hiya | 17:41 |
| digitalirony | I tried looking at error logs, but they were not very verbose, and actually didn't report any errors | 17:41 |

| kaoruko_ | Could I possibly have some assistance? | 17:41 |
| john515 | kaoruko_ fire it up | 17:42 |
| kaoruko_ | Okay; Uhm. I just created a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12 a couple days ago; and I'm having a few minor issues since | 17:42 |
| john515 | like? | 17:42 |
| theadmin | kaoruko_: Describe them. | 17:42 |
| theadmin | kaoruko_: In as much detail as possible | 17:43 |
| MonkeyDust | in one line | 17:43 |
| theadmin | MonkeyDust: Good save :) | 17:43 |
| MonkeyDust | *phew* ;-) | 17:43 |
| TJ- | :D | 17:44 |
| john515 | lmao | 17:44 |
| kaoruko_ | One of them is that when I'm typing my cursor will sometimes jump elsewhere, such as out of the textarea or backward in previously typed text. It does this in Google Chrome and Firefox, as well as (though not as often) within Ubuntu's preinstalled programs (terminal, as an example) | 17:44 |
| TJ- | But please don't use TXT SPK! | 17:44 |
| theadmin | kaoruko_: Do you have a touchpad? | 17:44 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: Are you using a laptop with a touchpad | 17:44 |
| panzb | i co ? dowartościowało cię to?, jesteś niby jakaś lepsza?. | 17:45 |
| panzb | ? | 17:45 |
| panzb | kurwa | 17:45 |
| panzb | nie tu | 17:45 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: There's an option to turn off the touchpad when you're typing... your wrists will sometimes brush the surface | 17:45 |
| john515 | usually there's a button above the touchpad | 17:45 |
| john515 | that disables it | 17:45 |
| kaoruko_ | Sorry, I forgot that. Yes; I have a laptop with a touchpad. I can use it for navigation and clicking (buttons or tap) just fine; but i cannot disable it by double-tapping the corner as I can within Windows 7 | 17:45 |
| peterrus | Is there something I can do about EDID checksum errors? My monitor wont get recognized as an invalid EDID checksum is found | 17:46 |
| john515 | doesn't your laptop provide with a toggle button for the touchpad? | 17:46 |
| john515 | such as an on/off switch | 17:46 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: You need to use the system menu (top-right corner) System Settings > Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > General "disable touchpad whilst typing" | 17:47 |
| kaoruko_ | TJ: I have done so, and it still seems to do it. | 17:47 |
| TJ- | peterrus: not alot unfortunately, unless you create a valid EDID.bin and tell the driver to force-load it | 17:47 |
| peterrus | kaoruko_, check the mouse/touchpad options in your control centre | 17:47 |
| peterrus | TJ-, but then I would need the contents of that file, how would I get these? | 17:48 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: Oh! Hmmm, can you confirm that brushing the pad is the cause of the moving cursor | 17:48 |
| peterrus | ah well there must be something to dump edid data | 17:48 |
| TJ- | peterrus: That's a highly technical operation, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're well-versed in EDID and modelines and so forth. | 17:48 |
| zack6849 | alright im back :P | 17:49 |
| TJ- | peterrus: Unless you can find someone with the exact same model monitor and get them to save their EDID for you to use | 17:49 |
| kaoruko_ | Well, I've been doing quite a bit of typing (I write short fiction often; as well as scripting) and it occurs often. I use an external mouse though; not the touchpad | 17:49 |
| === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy | ||
| TJ- | peterrus: there's a package provides the EDID utils get-edid and parse-edid | 17:50 |
| zack6849 | tj, woudl you reccomend the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates)" ? | 17:50 |
| TJ- | zack6849: I'd think the updates are there to fix bugs or extend functionality, so it sounds like a reasonable choice | 17:50 |
| TJ- | peterrus: the package is read-edid | 17:51 |
| kaoruko_ | And that; what zack6849 just asked. I can't update these drivers; it always gives me an error log output file | 17:51 |
| peterrus | TJ-, got it ;) | 17:51 |
| zack6849 | i get the same thing kaoruko_ , i updated all my stuff and am trying again | 17:51 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: try covering the touchpad with a piece of stiff card or similar. If that changes things you know it is the touchpad sensitivity | 17:51 |
| peterrus | parsing the info gives me a nice overview of the monitors capabilitys | 17:52 |
| zack6849 | got the same eroor | 17:52 |
| zack6849 | "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. | 17:52 |
| zack6849 | Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" | 17:52 |
| TJ- | zack6849: Can you pastebin the last 30 or so longs from that log file? | 17:52 |
| zack6849 | how do i get to that log file tj? | 17:53 |
| zack6849 | nevermind | 17:54 |
| kaoruko_ | TJ; alright. I'll try that; is there any way to enable the off/on switch? I can't seem to find anywhere download/install appropriate material to allow this | 17:54 |
| zack6849 | i found it | 17:54 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: The only way I know to control it is through that GUI dialog... there's probably a sysfs control knob to totally disable the touchpad too, if you find that is what causes the cursor to move | 17:55 |
| zack6849 | http://pastebin.com/iWaVK4V4 | 17:55 |
| zack6849 | TJ-, there ya go | 17:55 |

| Odra | Hello | 17:56 |
| TJ- | zack6849: no, that's very useful | 17:56 |
| kaoruko_ | Oh; and I also had a concern. A friend of mine who is quite versed in Linux can't figure it out either. I have 2 GB onboard RAM; but in Windows and Ubuntu I am only reported to have 1.6 GB RAM useable? | 17:57 |
| DJones | karakedi: Does your graphics card use shared memory | 17:58 |
| DJones | kaoruko_: That was meant for you | 17:58 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: If the video graphics chips is built-it it is likely using some of RAM for its video buffer | 17:59 |
| kaoruko_ | DJones, I am not sur | 17:59 |
| TJ- | kaoruko_: add-on video cards come with their own RAM | 17:59 |
| kaoruko_ | TJ: That was what he thought as well. | 17:59 |

| sam101 | hi im just a beginner so bare with me i want to create a website its going to be a forum on the website and want to manage the server under ubuntu server but im wondering how do i create the website if there is no graphical interface in ubuntu server | 18:08 |
| Odra | nur_: About 700 MB | 18:08 |
| nur_ | i selected 18 gig | 18:08 |
| kaoruko_ | When you boot; do you have an Ubuntu BIOS-style screen to choose from? | 18:08 |
| nur_ | Odra: | 18:08 |
| TJ- | zack6849: I saw mention on that bug report of users manually installing the Catalyst drivers from AMD, but you'd have to carefully research that on the Ubuntu forums for decent trustable instructions, I think | 18:09 |
| yousafse | hi all | 18:09 |
| zack6849 | you mean the install .run file? | 18:09 |
| zack6849 | i downloaded that and was told specifically NOT to run it earlier | 18:09 |
| peterrus | sam101, ubuntu server has no graphical interface by default | 18:10 |
| peterrus | so all configuration would have to be done through the terminal | 18:10 |
| peterrus | if you dont feel you are up to that already | 18:10 |
| peterrus | just install the regular ubuntu | 18:10 |
| peterrus | it can do exactly the same as the server install can | 18:10 |
| peterrus | + the graphical environment | 18:10 |
| yousafse | I am new to ubuntu, how do I setup a vhost? | 18:10 |
| peterrus | although there aren't too much graphical configuration tools for the apache webserver (there might be, never used them though) file managing is a lot easier | 18:11 |
| TJ- | zack6849: Because it gets installed outside the ubuntu package system and may well conflict with the packages later. But if you want it to work, that may be the only way. These things are very difficult because you could be storing up trouble for later. Hard for me to recommend what to do because I'm not in front of that machine | 18:11 |

| zack6849 | i essentially just want my dual screens to work! | 18:11 |
| zack6849 | its currenty using mirroring | 18:11 |
| peterrus | kaoruko_, Sam101, you can do that indeed, but also just use regular ubuntu, the core is the same | 18:11 |
| zack6849 | which i despise | 18:11 |
| sam101 | no im asking if i used ubuntu server what would i use to create my webiste | 18:12 |
| TJ- | peterrus: I use VirtualMin with Webmin, it's flawless and very easy to create yet another virtual host on new domains or sub-domains, etc. | 18:12 |
| kaoruko_ | HTML, CSS, PHP, JS.. | 18:12 |

| sam101 | if i wanted to upload somehing like a picture or file could you do that within ubuntu server or apache | 18:16 |

| unitysucks | have tried to make normal shortcuts, but i can't even do that | 18:17 |
| TJ- | unitysucks: Could you create a .desktop launcher for it? Maybe it already installs one you can link to | 18:17 |
| fishbait | when i show all workspaces (i have dual monitors.) the middle is off center how do i adjust this? (fglrx graphics) | 18:18 |
| unitysucks | can you link me to a .desktop launcher tutorial? everything i'm used to doing doesn't work anymore in 12.04 | 18:18 |
| unitysucks | i'm not happy with this release, big step back imo | 18:18 |
| unitysucks | all the panels are locked, no create shortcut in the right click menu | 18:19 |
| sam101 | how do you upload files if your using ubuntu server with kvm | 18:19 |
| unitysucks | i don't get wtf they were thinking, its completely retarded | 18:19 |
| TJ- | unitysucks: I see that gnome-rdp doesn't ship with a .desktop file. What's even more surprising is it ships a ".exe" file!! | 18:19 |
| fishbait | unitysucks: if you don't like unity theres always gnome-session-fallback or kde of ldm or any number of other guis just fyi | 18:19 |

| atrika | erfu, get the interface with "ifconfig" and then write "ifconfig <name of interface> down" | 18:38 |
| atrika | but htis will put your pci card offline | 18:38 |

| TJ- | quick-: In /boot/grub/grub.cfg (the script that grub actually 'executes') there's a code stanza that will make the timeout unlimited if there was a failed boot previously: if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then | 18:40 |

| Teshub | MonkeyDust: The entire window is grayed out - I should have said that the the OS (12.04 LTS) doesn't detect the adapter at all | 18:45 |
| zack6849 | ariana, im retarted with ubuntu, i have absolutley no idea what the package for that would even be | 18:45 |
| quick- | Jordan_U: its /dev.sda1:windows 7 (loader):windows:chain | 18:46 |
| TJ- | zack6849: araina has the best idea. Identify the package name(s) "dpkg-query -l '*fglx*' " then use "apt-get --purge remove <package>" | 18:46 |
| Jordan_U | quick-: What do you see when you boot? | 18:46 |
| Pici | TJ-: its 'fglrx' | 18:47 |
| W4sp | This is one fine example about slugsy documentation. This should not happen in Ubuntu and without a man page it should not find its way to releases. | 18:47 |
| zack6849 | tj, when i enter dpkg-query -l '*fglx* it just gives me a prompt | 18:47 |

| Teshub | TJ-: And I believe that the Bluetooth radio is shared with the WiFi adapter. I mean, if I disable the WiFi with the switch on the side, the bluetooth is gone as well. | 18:50 |
| Teshub | TJ-: lol. Yeah, that's turned on. I'm on WiFi right now. | 18:50 |
| TJ- | Teshub: That sounds about right, so it isn't that then. I've Googled and can't see anyone else reporting any bluetooth problem so I'm guessing this could be unique to you | 18:51 |
| meo | so i created new bootable usb with ubuntu 12 32bit, but same problem, i cant run ubuntu or install it. get always stuck at device-mapper : dm-raid45 initialized v0.2594b | 18:51 |
| davidrsmorris | steven__: It doesn't look like it was released for linux. You might try running the windows version under wine, but you'll spend a long time setting it up. You should see if the other people using it could use Skype or eckiga instead. | 18:51 |
| TJ- | zack6849: "sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-update" | 18:51 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Yeah, ofcourse I've googled this situation but couldn't find anything. | 18:51 |
| quick- | Jordan_U: it just comes and goes off like a splash | 18:51 |
| davidrsmorris | Does anyone here use Awesome wm with both Delightful and other widgets? I can't figure out how to get other things in the wibox... | 18:52 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Do you know for sure if it is connected via USB? Could it be via the PCI bus ("lspci -nn") | 18:52 |
| Teshub | TJ-: could be. I'm going to check that out right now. | 18:52 |
| Jordan_U | quick-: Is this in a virtual machine or a real one? | 18:52 |
| quick- | Jordan_U: real one | 18:52 |
| xmltok | i am trying to install ubuntu onto an intel raid which is dm-0, the problem is the chroot /target grub-install etc.. is run without /target/proc mounted and so grub does not see the dm-0 devices. if i chroot in there and mount /proc, it succeeds. | 18:52 |
| zack6849 | TJ, SHOULD IT SAY ANYTHING AFTERWARDS? | 18:52 |
| zack6849 | BECAUSE IT DIDNT PUTPUT ANYTHING | 18:53 |
| zack6849 | oops | 18:53 |
| zack6849 | caps | 18:53 |
| zack6849 | apologies | 18:53 |
| FloodBot1 | zack6849: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:53 |
| TJ- | zack6849: apt-get should tell you what it's going to remove, yes | 18:53 |
| zack6849 | it said nothing | 18:53 |
| zack6849 | after entering sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-update | 18:53 |
| Jordan_U | zack6849: If you set GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1 then the menu should display indefinitely. Can you test that? | 18:53 |
| davidrsmorris | steven__: Oh, you might try the facebook oovoo app, but flash isn't supported anymore so ymmv. | 18:54 |
| zack6849 | it just says thithing | 18:54 |
| TJ- | zack6849: that is rather weird! can you do "sudo apt-get update" to update the package lists | 18:54 |
| Teshub | TJ-: If I execute that command I get flooded with information. I grep'd that with "Ath" and got 2 hits, the WiFi adapter and the Ethernet adapter. No Bluetooth or anything. | 18:54 |
| WhaleProbe2 | hello. i bought my computer used from someone. unfortunately, they chose a really poor network name for it. is there a way i can change it? | 18:54 |
| zack6849 | i did sudo apt-get update | 18:54 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Can you copy it to a pastebin for me? you could do "lspci -nn > lspci.log" | 18:54 |
| Jordan_U | !hostname | WhaleProbe2 | 18:55 |
| ubottu | WhaleProbe2: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 18:55 |
| zack6849 | nothing was printed to the client | 18:55 |
| TJ- | zack6849: OK, its sounding like you've got something really messed up on that system! | 18:55 |
| zack6849 | also | 18:55 |
| zack6849 | what the heck is this | 18:55 |

| Jordan_U | WhaleProbe2: You're welcome. | 18:55 |
| TJ- | zack6849: I don't know, where did you find it? :p | 18:55 |
| zack6849 | Jordan_U, told me to put it in | 18:56 |

| TJ- | Teshub: I'm trying to get a feel for what IS there | 18:58 |
| zykotick9 | TJ-: fyi "apt-get purge foo" is a shorter to type... | 18:58 |
| TJ- | KaorukoLee: Twister! | 18:59 |
| zack6849 | alright | 18:59 |
| zack6849 | it worked TJ- | 18:59 |
| davidrsmorris | KaorukoLee: if you apt-get install sudoku, you'll get a nice little Curses-based sudoku game. | 18:59 |
| KaorukoLee | Is it offline-compatible? :3 | 18:59 |
| TJ- | zykotick9: I know, but I like to express the full options to get people thinking about commands | 18:59 |

| davidrsmorris | KaorukoLee: sudoku (which can generate and export puzzles), works offline. It's saved me from dire boredom. | 19:00 |
| KaorukoLee | Oh; I have a question; quite dumb really. | 19:01 |
| KaorukoLee | Would I be able to create an AD-HOC network and be able to multiplay minecraft with say, my brother? | 19:01 |
| kalantir | Hello | 19:01 |
| TJ- | Teshub: I'm devious... from what you just gave me I was able to Google the webcam ID, find an Ubuntu bug report about that system, and look at the kernel boot log attached to that bug report :) | 19:01 |
| KaorukoLee | Since the newest update.. I havent been able to try yet though | 19:02 |
| zack6849 | TJ-, same error as earlier about a pre-existing installatuin | 19:02 |
| TJ- | zack6849: there's also the control panel to be removed... hang on a mo | 19:02 |
| kalantir | Could I convince one of you fine gentlemen to answer a question I have about installing from a live usb with persistence? | 19:03 |
| KaorukoLee | Uhm.. what's the command to extract a tar.gz file? :0 | 19:03 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Can you pastebin the "/var/log/dmesg" log for me please? | 19:03 |
| rhqq | hey. I've added ppa via add-apt-repository, but i still get "warning, the following packages cannot be auth", ubuntu 10.04 lts, where should i google for issue? | 19:03 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Ofcourse | 19:03 |
| Weird98GuY | the bar on top of the screen that says applications, system, etc is invisible. how do i make it visible? | 19:04 |
| subz3r0 | unity? | 19:04 |
| subz3r0 | open a terminal and type: unity --reset | 19:05 |
| davidrsmorris | KaorukoLee: you'll use gzip and tar, not sure what args. | 19:05 |
| kalantir | Currently, Ubuntu 12.04 does not have any working wireless drivers for my laptop so I installed working b43 drivers into my live usb. Now I want to know... when I install from the usb to my hard drive, will the installer have access to the drivers I installed on the usb? | 19:05 |
| KaorukoLee | I downloaded a torrent tar.gz game; but I have no idea how to install it o-o | 19:05 |
| Weird98GuY | k ty | 19:05 |
| Jordan_U | KaorukoLee: What are you actually trying to install? | 19:05 |

| cndiv | Hey #ubuntu, quick question. I support a few Ubuntu machines at work, but fairly frequently I run into issues I can't solve myself. Is there some sort of consulting group I can pay for additional resources? I know Canonical has their 'advantage' program but there are hardly any machines that are 'certified.' | 19:07 |

| someUbUser | Hello, does anyone know how to type a low german quotation mark, without using cut and paste? I can't work out the compose key sequence | 19:08 |
| TJ- | Teshub: And now pastebin results of this as long as you don't get a 'not found' error: "ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/" | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | KaorukoLee: Download the .deb file for Ubuntu 12.04 and just double click it to install. | 19:08 |
| manuel__ | hi | 19:09 |
| manuel__ | HI | 19:09 |
| davidrsmorris | manuel__: go ahead with your question. Introductions are not customary on irc. | 19:09 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Tip: there's a utility called pastebinit should be installed. You can pipe stdout to it to do things like : "ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/ > pastebinit" | 19:09 |

| harovali | hi, a machine here has Ubuntu 12.04 installed. It has been working fin for the last four months, in a 'routine' office environment. One day, the boot process stopped working, the booting splash screen turns violet, and stays there forever. I fsck'd the partitions. I even apt-get upgrade'd using the rescue menu. However, the graphics login screen does not appear. What can it be? | 19:13 |
| zack6849-phone | Also what's 'berg' or 'burg' | 19:13 |
| zack6849-phone | Somone reccomended it | 19:13 |

| Manta | so I was thinking it would be nice if ubuntu had a snap to grid feature for all opened windows... how would you do that? | 19:13 |
| Jordan_U | zack6849-phone: An abandoned fork of GRUB, it's not supported at all and not recommended. | 19:13 |
| rhqq | how to make PPA trusted permanently? | 19:13 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Have you previously used the bluetooth on that laptop? | 19:14 |
| Manta | So that is not something that could be implemented in the current unity layout | 19:14 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Not on Ubuntu. I can't remember whether I've used it on Windows... this poor thing has been unused for a 1,5 years now.. ;( | 19:15 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Well the kernel isn't finding any hardware for bluetooth at all. The only thing I can think, is it needs some special firmware loading to active it, or else its on a daughter board inside the laptop and has become unplugged somehow | 19:16 |
| Teshub | TJ-: I doubt that it'd be real hardware problems, since the wifi and the bluetooth seem to have at the very least -some- shared hardware. | 19:17 |
| kalantir | I have a Kubuntu 12.04 live usb with persistence set up. I have installed some drivers and applications and was wondering if those would carry over to a hard drive install | 19:17 |
| Teshub | TJ-: So ... what do you suggest? Install Windows, check if it actually works at all? I was hoping to avoid that, obviously... | 19:18 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Well its a bit drastic but there's definitely something very wrong. | 19:19 |
| JeffBauer | hey guys.. how much may cost a customized distro? | 19:19 |
| JeffBauer | i mean, i need a customized distro and i'll pay for that service | 19:20 |
| TJ- | Teshub: One last thing... see if there are any bluetooth daemon messages in the logs: "grep ' HCI' /var/log/syslog" | 19:20 |
| zack_ | how do you take a screenshot on ubuntu? | 19:21 |
| TJ- | Teshub: From what I can tell its a BCM2070 (that's Broadcom) module | 19:21 |
| Dot_ | Hey | 19:21 |
| Dot_ | Anyone here? | 19:21 |
| davidrsmorris | Dot_: Go ahead and ask your question. Introductions are not customary on IRC. | 19:22 |
| soliloquy | The last time I used Ubuntu, we were back at Gnome 2.0…. now there's Unity and Gnome Shell and god knows-what. I theme quite heavily and have always used Compiz when I was using Linux & build my own GTK themes… Anyone care to talk to me about my options now that Gnome 3 isn't friends w/ compiz? | 19:22 |
| Dot_ | Ok | 19:22 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Just a few times: "Device and connection manager initialized" and "socket layer initialized" | 19:22 |
| Dot_ | I just installed Ubuntu, and right after I rebooted, my computer screen is stuck on a purple screen with a bunch of pink text. | 19:23 |
| TJ- | Teshub: oh dear. If the hardware is found you'd see something like "HCI dev 0 up" | 19:23 |
| subz3r0 | Do not use cccsm with unity or gnome shell | 19:23 |
| datacide | Greetings, I am trying to get the seamonkey client installed on my OS, can anyone help? | 19:23 |
| davidrsmorris | Dot_: When the pink text stops, what does it say? | 19:23 |
| Dot_ | ...what? | 19:23 |
| soliloquy | subz3rO: cccsm? meaning??? | 19:23 |
| subz3r0 | ccsm | 19:23 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Agh.. Ok.. Okay, well. That means I have to buy a seperate bluetooth stick? | 19:24 |
| soliloquy | what does it do? | 19:24 |
| TJ- | Teshub: The only thing I can think is there's an RFKILL or as I said the module has been disturbed. I'm downloading a repair manual for that model now to see what the BT module is | 19:24 |
| shanlar | with cloud-init, do i have to specify my cloud-config in the user data or is it possible to leave user-data blank and have cloud-init always use a static cloud-config file? | 19:24 |

| L3top | !nomodeset | Dot_ see if this is helpful. | 19:25 |
| ubottu | Dot_ see if this is helpful.: 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 | 19:25 |
| subz3r0 | zykotick9, maybe you should tell him to, that he can **** up his whole unity with it | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 19:25 |
| subz3r0 | *too | 19:25 |
| Dot_ | oh. | 19:25 |
| soliloquy | subz3r0: So don't use Compiz with Unity either?? I thought Unity was compiz-based? | 19:25 |
| Dot_ | I forgot about that. | 19:25 |
| Dot_ | That's why I didn't install it earlier =/ | 19:25 |
| zykotick9 | soliloquy: it is... | 19:25 |
| subz3r0 | compiz is part of it | 19:26 |
| subz3r0 | but not the CCSM | 19:26 |
| harovali | how can I fix an ubuntu 12.04 which hangs booting the graphics environment? However, if I press esc , I get a text prompt | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | unity3d is a compiz plugin | 19:26 |
| subz3r0 | harovali, try unity --reset | 19:26 |
| harovali | I upgraded --fix-missing | 19:26 |
| datacide | How can I install seamonkey? | 19:26 |
| leoleon | somebody uses a free ERP | 19:26 |
| soliloquy | so how do you configure Compiz then if you can't use ccsm? The last time I used Compiz, it was called Beryl, if that helps at all. | 19:26 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, sudo apt-get install seamonkey? | 19:26 |
| harovali | subz3r0: from the maintenance command line ? | 19:26 |
| leoleon | somebody uses a open source ERP | 19:27 |
| subz3r0 | soliloquy, you can use it, but if you do the wrong config it will brake your unity | 19:27 |
| datacide | subz3r0, Why don't you try and see what happens? | 19:27 |
| Dot_ | ok | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | find a ppa if its not in the repos | 19:27 |
| datacide | To save me the pastebin | 19:27 |
| Dot_ | The problem might have been because it's a really old computer and the card wasn't compatiable | 19:27 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, why should i try that? i wasnt the guy who asked for that.. | 19:27 |
| Dot_ | But would it work on an HP Pavillion? Win7, 64 bit, Vision AMD...? | 19:28 |
| soliloquy | subz3r0: Okay, sooo if I want to play with Compiz /at all/ then Unity isn't the answer either? So if not Unity and not Gnome Shell but I want a GTK desktop, what other options do I have? | 19:28 |
| datacide | subz3r0, because you have no idea what you are talking about | 19:28 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, ahh yes. so tell me. im very curious | 19:28 |
| Teshub | Guys, guys. Let's keep it civil? :) | 19:28 |
| datacide | subz3r0, Don't give advice if you don't know the answer | 19:29 |
| Dot_ | Anyone? | 19:29 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, in other words, its not possible to make ur unity crash when using ccsm? | 19:29 |
| subz3r0 | ridiculous statement | 19:29 |
| subz3r0 | anyway, this is ot... | 19:29 |
| L3top | Dot_: every chipset is different. Chances are it will work. | 19:29 |
| davidrsmorris | Dot_: a 64bit machine is not old. | 19:29 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, u do. | 19:29 |
| datacide | I am looking to install seamonkey, anyone? | 19:29 |
| Dot_ | davidrsmorris, I'm talking about a newer laptop I might try it on now. | 19:29 |
| subz3r0 | not able to install seamonkey but tellin me shiat | 19:30 |
| subz3r0 | funny | 19:30 |
| Dot_ | The other one is an old acer shitbox, thick enough to stop a bullet. | 19:30 |
| L3top | Dot_: again, nomodeset kernel boot param might solve your issue, and watch the language. | 19:30 |
| davidrsmorris | Dot_: Well if it has a gig of ram, it should be more than enough. | 19:30 |
| Dot_ | Sorry | 19:30 |
| savio | in ubuntu 12.04 why hibernate option is disable | 19:30 |
| aleprovencio | hello guys, I'd would like to have a different keyboard layout that enables as soon as I switch to firefox window, is that possible? | 19:30 |
| subz3r0 | soliloquy, just try it. | 19:30 |
| Dot_ | davidrsmorris, 700MB of RAM... hehe | 19:31 |
| OerHeks | datacide, http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | savio: is your swap bigger then your ram? | 19:31 |
| savio | let me check | 19:31 |
| datacide | OerHeks, It i snot in the ubuntu repository any more | 19:31 |
| savio | yah | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | hibernate requires swap at least as big as ram.. a little bigger it better | 19:32 |
| OerHeks | datacide, i know. | 19:32 |
| Dot_ | How can I uninstall Ubuntu? | 19:32 |
| Dot_ | Now that I know it doesn't work =/ | 19:32 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: hibernate is disabled (by default) in 12.04 - it can be turned back on somehow (i can't find the factoid, but i believe there is one) | 19:32 |
| savio | rem is1913220 and swap is 3004412 | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Dot_: reformat the partitions | 19:32 |
| mbeierl | Dot_, it is a full partition. just remove the partition | 19:32 |
| Dot_ | So... in noob terms that means? | 19:32 |
| subz3r0 | datacide, just one link for you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/92079/ccsm-broke-my-unity-3d-on-11-10 next time before you act like the allmighty individual u better shhhhhhh... | 19:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Dot_ delete the partition | 19:32 |
| L3top | Dot_: I am sure it works fine... you are just unwilling to enter a simple boot parameter. | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought that was suspend.. or am i backwards again | 19:32 |
| Teshub | TJ-: You still here? Just making sure I'm not waiting on nothing. :) | 19:32 |
| datacide | subzer0 Your answer was incorrect | 19:33 |
| datacide | subz3r0, Because you have no idea what you are talking about | 19:33 |
| Dot_ | L3top, fine, I'll try | 19:33 |
| douglas | intall | 19:33 |
| mbeierl | Dot_, install something else over top of it will also "remove" it... | 19:33 |
| douglas | install | 19:33 |
| douglas | 19:33 | |
| subz3r0 | datacide, funny statement. especially this statement from a guy who isnt able to install seamonkey... welcome to my ingore list, ... | 19:34 |
| datacide | subz3r0, That is why I told you to install it | 19:34 |
| datacide | subz3r0, to see what happened | 19:34 |
| douglas | like question for my pc | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | should be some seamonkey ppas out there | 19:34 |
| subz3r0 | what a .... | 19:35 |
| Dot_ | L3top, I used "wubi" | 19:35 |
| datacide | subz3r0, Solve the problem before advising | 19:35 |
| Dot_ | The thread shows most of the things saying (not wubi) ? | 19:35 |
| savio | Dr_Willis, | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Dot_: wubis main feature is it has a add/remove programs entry in windows | 19:35 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Here's the manual ... scroll to almost the last page to see the bluetooth module... it's connected by wires. I would bet money at some point its become disconnected. http://goo.gl/1KYgT | 19:36 |
| Dot_ | Yes, but, will the boot parameter still work? | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | so you remove a wubi install same as you would any windows app. | 19:36 |
| Dot_ | I'm also kind of lost as to where I'm susposed to enter the boot parameters | 19:36 |
| === Lupe is now known as LLStarks | ||
| TJ- | Teshub: page 23, last illustration | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont use wubi. so no idea | 19:36 |
| Dunter | I have limited Linux knowledge but is this the right place for a Mint problem I'm having? | 19:36 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Ah... okay. Well.. let's my screwdriver kit then. | 19:37 |
| zykotick9 | !mint | Dunter nope... | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Dunter nope...: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Dunter: mint has its own support channels | 19:37 |
| OerHeks | Dot_, that bootparameter is only for a Real ubuntu install, not the fake wubi thingy. | 19:37 |
| Dunter | Ahh okay, I couldn't find it as fast as this channel. THanks | 19:37 |
| Dot_ | "fake bubi thingy" | 19:37 |
| Dot_ | ? | 19:37 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Oh man.. I even need to remove the motherboard to get to that thing? -_- | 19:37 |
| Dot_ | Is it frowned upon to use wubi or something? | 19:38 |
| initinit | hate | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tell the mint guys to fix their irc client defaults.. ;) | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Wubi is good for testing.. but is fragile | 19:38 |
| primefalcon | Dot_, wubi is the windows installer, most people consider it a less that optimum install | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | and slower then a full install | 19:38 |
| davidrsmorris | Dot_: Wubi is called by the windows bootloader instead of GRUB. So you don' | 19:38 |
| TJ- | Teshub: Well I think that it might be worth it... if it is still connected then it has failed | 19:38 |
| davidrsmorris | t get to play witgh | 19:38 |
| davidrsmorris | grub options. | 19:38 |
| TJ- | Teshub: See page 20 for where it is connected to the mobo | 19:38 |
| Dot_ | Well.. how would I do a 'proper' dualboot of Ubuntu and Win7 ? | 19:39 |
| primefalcon | but a wubi install can just be r4emoved just like any windows app if I remember right | 19:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Dot_: boot the cd.. run the installler | 19:39 |
| Dr_Willis | primefalcon: thats its saveing feature. ;) | 19:39 |
| primefalcon | Dot_, a computer with a Ubuntu disc/usb inserted and boot from said device and choose to install Ubuntu beside windows | 19:40 |
| Odra | Cant you install windows on a usb stick? | 19:40 |
| primefalcon | Dr_Willis, good for people to try before you buy so to speak though | 19:40 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Okay. Well, thank you very much TJ! :) I'm going to disassemble this thing then. I'll be going offline then. And again - thank you for helping me out on this. Drinking a beer in your honour. | 19:40 |
| Dot_ | So just download it from to a CD, run it on start up, and then it will give me an option to install it alongside windows? | 19:41 |
| primefalcon | Odra, I tink that violates the windows Agreement | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Wubi may be getting removed from the cd in the next release i hear | 19:41 |
| TJ- | Teshub: let me know how you get on | 19:41 |
| primefalcon | Dot_, yes just boot from he CD and you'll have the option | 19:41 |
| subz3r0 | Dr_Willis, hopefully | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Dot_: you BURN the iso to a cd. | 19:41 |
| TJ- | Teshub: And DON'T leave any screws over when you re-assemble it :p | 19:41 |
| Dot_ | And that will give me a full, proper dualboot? Correct? | 19:42 |
| === jrdnn_ is now known as jrdnn | ||
| Dr_Willis | thats how its done.. yes | 19:42 |
| Teshub | TJ-: Hah, yeah, I know. Well. Thank you, and (i hope) until soon, when this is reassembled. :) | 19:42 |
| Dot_ | Well...I'll try it! | 19:42 |
| Teshub | Bye bye | 19:42 |
| Dot_ | Thanks :D | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | hopefully your hd is not using 4 primary partitions.. | 19:42 |
| Dot_ | wait, what? o.O | 19:42 |
| primefalcon | Dot_, thats the idea, you'll be asked to resize the windows partition/insstall so theres room for Ubuntu and yeah you'll be asked from then on as you boot, which you'd like to use | 19:42 |
| * W4sp .oO How many beer have gone down to honor TJ- just this month alone? | 19:43 | |
| Dr_Willis | some annoying windows setups use 4 primary partitons.. making it harder to install to.. | 19:43 |
| Dot_ | Ok, can someone explain to me what a 'partition' is? | 19:43 |
| TJ- | W4sp: Good job I'm tea-total! | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Id have to suggest the wikipedia entry on disk partitions | 19:44 |
| primefalcon | Dot_, read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 19:44 |
| W4sp | TJ-: Makes two, I don't drink and hack. | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | it may not be an issue for you.. boot the live cd and come back | 19:44 |

| primefalcon | Dot_, for example say you have a 60 gig hard drive (small for today) if you split it into 2 30 gig drives, you will effectively have 2 seperate 30g drives instead of 1 60g, and that kinda depends on what size hard drive you havce | 19:53 |

| zack_ | yes | 19:56 |
| W4sp | Salman: On a side note, your pastebin shows it is AC'97 compatible, I found drivers at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php I assume you require a Conexant Audio driver based on the laptop model. | 19:57 |

| Kaail | It's all crackly. | 20:26 |
| nhr_ | I got bsod, and then I could not login at all | 20:26 |
| zack6849 | StahlGrau, http://oi46.tinypic.com/2zirbqs.jpg | 20:26 |
| subz3r0 | human... | 20:26 |
| Kaail | I had a similar problem on Win7 which was solved by limiting RAM in msconfig to 3GB or less. Is there a way to do this in ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| Blue_ | is it normal to put personal files in home folder or this is bad? should we make another folder?? | 20:27 |
| Salman | Help sound probs. Lubuntu 12.04 Emachines Mx4624 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138401/ sound not working at all need help now | 20:27 |
| StahlGrau | zack6849, have you tried changing settings in the "computer settings" or whatever the real name is | 20:27 |
| subz3r0 | Blue_ depends on the files i think. if they are senitive = Crypt them | 20:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Blue_: /home/usernMe is normal | 20:27 |
| zack6849 | no, i have no idea where to change it | 20:28 |
| MellowasJellow_ | /server irc.evilzone.org | 20:28 |
| Blue_ | thanks | 20:28 |
| StahlGrau | hit the super button and then type settings | 20:28 |
| Kaail | Is there a way to limit the available RAM to the system on ubuntu? Like with msconfig on Win7? | 20:28 |
| subz3r0 | Blue_: check encFS. easy way to crypt directories in your homedir or anywhere else | 20:28 |
| zack6849 | i see | 20:28 |
| StahlGrau | "system settings" should have display and/or graphics properties | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaail: thats a wdird way to fix a sound issue | 20:29 |
| StahlGrau | and maybe changing some of those will make the driver active | 20:29 |
| Kaail | Dr_Willis it's the sound card | 20:29 |
| zack6849 | system settings, catylist control, and onboard | 20:29 |
| zack6849 | oh | 20:29 |
| Kaail | Something odd with it and it seemed to work | 20:29 |
| Blue_ | subzero I do not need encription, just want to save and find them | 20:29 |
| StahlGrau | catalyst might be your best bet | 20:29 |
| zack6849 | i dont see that StahlGrau | 20:29 |
| StahlGrau | what are you actually trying to do? | 20:29 |
| zack6849 | also in the catylst it throws an error | 20:29 |
| Kaail | Dr_Willis, do you know of a way to do it in ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| StahlGrau | I mean you obviously have a display | 20:30 |
| StahlGrau | Hmm | 20:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaail: nope. never needed to | 20:30 |
| subz3r0 | Blue_ that what i said. depends on how important the files for you are. Just use the /home/user dir and you should be fine =) | 20:30 |
| zack6849 | i want the driver to be used :/ | 20:30 |
| StahlGrau | Yeah I gotcha | 20:30 |
| subz3r0 | are for you... | 20:30 |
| StahlGrau | maybe try the "post-release" driver? | 20:30 |
| Dr_Willis | re.ove a zgick of ram | 20:30 |
| zack6849 | okay | 20:30 |
| Blue_ | thanks | 20:30 |
| Dr_Willis | remove a stick of ram. | 20:30 |
| subz3r0 | haha | 20:31 |
| Weird98GuY | the bar on the top of the screen (applications, system, etc.) is invisible. how do I make it visible? unity --reset didnt work | 20:31 |
| centrelink | I want a zgick of ram | 20:31 |
| k1l | nhr_: can you boot into the recovery or a live system and grab the logs from /var/log and put them in a pastebin? so maybe there is a hint what is going wrong in theese files | 20:31 |
| Kaail | I've got two 2gb sticks, if I do that I'll have less RAM than if there is a way to limit it in-system | 20:31 |

| walbert | Hey guys - Is there a way to install a single package from the QuantalQuetzal repository without pulling everything from it? | 20:32 |
| Weird98GuY | the bar on the top of the screen (applications, system, etc.) is invisible. how do I make it visible? unity --reset didnt work, anyone? | 20:32 |
| zack6849 | StahlGrau, if i try to install the post release it throws an error and requests i see the log | 20:33 |
| subz3r0 | Weird98GuY, backup the files and try: rm ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/dconf -rf | 20:34 |
| subz3r0 | it will reset everything | 20:34 |
| StahlGrau | Hmm interesting, take a look at the log and google for any errors you find, something might have just installed incorrectly | 20:34 |
| nhr_ | K1l: I can try | 20:34 |
| StahlGrau | I'm not a pro, just telling you what has worked for me in the past | 20:34 |
| subz3r0 | Weird98GuY, if that doesnt work, u can try to reset compiz. but lets see | 20:34 |
| W4sp | Salman: Do you have pulse audio installed? I suggest you give it a try. If not installed yet you can use synaptic, the package is paman. Assuming you use GNOME install gnome-alsamixer in case it is not installed yet. | 20:34 |
| Weird98GuY | ill give it a shot | 20:35 |
| zack6849 | this log is scary. | 20:35 |
| zack6849 | @_@ | 20:35 |
| Salman | W4sp: Using LXDE what do i use for that? | 20:35 |
| subz3r0 | Weird98GuY, after youve done that hit alt +f2 then r and hit enter | 20:36 |
| StahlGrau | haha worse comes to worst, uninstall that ish | 20:36 |
| Weird98GuY | alright | 20:36 |
| W4sp | Salman: That's a Desktop Environment that you don't have in Lubuntu. | 20:37 |

| oozbooz | hi, yesterday I've added xorf-nvidia-beta repo and upgrade the system... How can I downgrade all upgraded packages and remove the repo | 20:38 |
| L3top | oozbooz: I am unfamiliar with that. Was it a ppa? | 20:39 |
| oozbooz | yes | 20:39 |
| L3top | !ppa-purge | 20:39 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 20:39 |
| platzhirsch | Are the keyboard shortcuts for Gnome or other Window Managers defined somewhere in plain text? | 20:39 |
| oozbooz | L3top: ubottu: I was looking at ppa-purge... does it remove package completely or downgrades them? | 20:40 |
| cndiv | Hey everyone, is there an Ubuntu consultant group I can hire? I have machines to manage but the problems are over my head | 20:40 |
| cndiv | someone who specializes in such things | 20:41 |
| L3top | oozbooz: as the factoid says, it reverts them. (returns them to their original state) | 20:41 |
| zack6849 | OH | 20:41 |
| zack6849 | i gotta reboot | 20:41 |
| zack6849 | >_> | 20:41 |
| zack6849 | that would makesense | 20:41 |
| oozbooz | L3top: ubottu : thanks | 20:42 |
| subz3r0 | platzhirsch, you can edit them with dconf editor or gconfeditor. also you can find the files inside of the dirs like in ~/.gconf and/or ~/.config/conf | 20:42 |
| IdleOne | cndiv: canonical.com offers paid support contracts | 20:42 |
| StahlGrau | haha yes it would | 20:42 |
| platzhirsch | subz3r0: thats what I was aiming for, even though I read that gconf is deprecated | 20:42 |
| cndiv | IdleOne, anyone but canonical? Their "certified" list doesn't include any of the machines I have to support | 20:43 |
| cndiv | I just need some additional resources, not promised anything | 20:43 |
| nhr_ | k1l:Here is the paste bin http://pastebin.com/z5KZUaZC | 20:43 |
| IdleOne | cndiv: I don't know of any other. contact them before counting them out. | 20:43 |
| subz3r0 | platzhirsch, i use both of them. dont know if it should be deprecated | 20:43 |
| cndiv | IdleOne, I have, they haven't been too receptive so far to the idea | 20:44 |
| cndiv | thanks though | 20:44 |
| IdleOne | !loco | cndiv Try your loco Ubuntu group. | 20:44 |
| ubottu | cndiv Try your loco Ubuntu group.: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at http://loco.ubuntu.com/ | 20:44 |

| yatta | for some reason after long time period lock screen freezes i'm using ubuntu 12.04 could it be fixed? | 20:55 |
| Salman | W4sp: no sound :( | 20:55 |
| W4sp | Salman: What did you use to test? | 20:55 |
| Salman | Front-center | 20:56 |
| W4sp | Salman: OK, what program did you use to test the sound? | 20:56 |
| Salman | Rythumbox(whatever its called) | 20:56 |
| Salman | W4sp: like i said i get this error when i type pulseaudio in term http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138503/ | 20:58 |
| W4sp | Salman: Are you able to start pulsaudio as a daemon? | 20:58 |
| W4sp | Salman: OK, let me check. | 20:58 |
| usr13 | Salman: already running | 20:59 |
| usr13 | Salman: What are you trying to do? (What is it your are trying to fix?) | 20:59 |
| Salman | use13: sound | 20:59 |
| Salman | usr13: sound | 20:59 |
| PapaSierra | anyone know about my apache file permission question above ^^ | 20:59 |
| usr13 | Salman: open a terminal and type alsamixer and hit enter. | 21:00 |
| Salman | usr13: did that many times. nothing is muted everything is max | 21:00 |
| usr13 | Salman: Do you see anything muted or turned down? (Right or left arrows to go from channel to channel. Up and down arrows to turn up or down.....) Oh | 21:01 |
| usr13 | Salman: Ok, let's do a test: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* | 21:01 |
| usr13 | Salman: .... tell us what it does, or if you get errors... etc.... | 21:01 |
| katfa | Hey eveyrone, I'm having trouble getting a wireless usb dongle to work with linux mint 13. anyone have the time to help? | 21:01 |
| W4sp | Salman: Do you actually see your device listed? Also, in that screen if you type 's' a menu pops up. | 21:01 |
| ahoneybun | PapaSierra, I sadly do not know about apache, but I did see your question | 21:02 |
| harovali | subz3r0: I tried as you told me (a while ago) , I tried "unity --reset". However it says it expects a :0 DISPLAY , and that's what I have not; the system boot process does not yield one, and besides issueing "service gdm start" as root user from the text command line does not work either, it says that the service doesn't exist. | 21:02 |
| Salman | Usr13: play isn't installed lol | 21:02 |
| usr13 | Salman: install it | 21:02 |
| supercom32 | If you create two swap partitions for each instance of Ubuntu you want to install on a single drive, will each instance use their own swap partition you specify? Or will they just use all avaliable ones they find? | 21:02 |
| usr13 | Salman: sudo apt-get install sox | 21:03 |
| usr13 | supercom32: Best to just use one. | 21:03 |
| Jordan_U | supercom32: Swap partitions are configured to be used in /etc/fstab. | 21:03 |
| PapaSierra | ahoneybun it's not really an apache question. it's an OS question. apache runs as www-data:www-data, my dir is /home/me owned by me:me, so how do i give apache permission to this directory is the question | 21:03 |
| usr13 | supercom32: If it's not big enough, just make it bigger. | 21:04 |
| OerHeks | Salman, try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* " | 21:04 |
| supercom32 | @usr13 & Jordan_U: The reason I ask is because I want one instance of ubuntu to be able to suspend ect, and another to do the same on it's own swap. | 21:05 |
| zack6849 | how do i launch omething as superuser? | 21:05 |
| Salman | OerHeks: usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138513/ I heard no sound but i heard a popping sound. | 21:05 |
| usr13 | supercom32: You're only running one instance of ubuntu at a time. Right? | 21:05 |
| ahoneybun | PapaSierra, I believe the chmod command handles permissions | 21:05 |
| usr13 | supercom32: Therefore, you only need one swap partition. | 21:05 |
| ahoneybun | do man chmod | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | supercom32: Just make sure that each installation has only one swap partition, its own, configured in /etc/fstab. | 21:05 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U: .. they can both use the same one. | 21:06 |
| supercom32 | @Jordan_U: So I can configure each instances /etc/fstab to just use the swap partition they were assigned? | 21:06 |
| PapaSierra | yes it does. i'm trying to work out who needs the permissions and how. should me be in www-data group? should www-data be in me group? this should be something that someone in this channel knows | 21:06 |
| Jordan_U | usr13: Not if, as supercom32 has requested, they will both need to be suspended to disk. | 21:06 |
| supercom32 | @usr13: Yep, I want both to be suspended to disk. | 21:07 |
| supercom32 | @usr13: I might have used the wrong terminology. Sorry about the confusion. | 21:07 |

| usr13 | Salman: Is this a laptop? | 21:10 |
| Salman | usr13: yes | 21:10 |
| W4sp | Salman: Very good. ...And you herd that 'knak' after the first audio file started to play. Is that right? | 21:10 |
| katfa | hey subz3r0 , I just bought a netgear N600 usb wifi adapter, and I've installed the driver with ndiswrapper and I stil can't get it to work | 21:10 |
| W4sp | s/herd/heard | 21:10 |
| Salman | W4sp: you mean like a popping sound yes | 21:11 |
| katfa | I've followed quite a few forums and I don't know what more to do | 21:11 |
| usr13 | Salman: Is there anything on the laptop itself for volume control? | 21:11 |
| subz3r0 | katfa, please put the output of "lsusb", "dmesg" and "iwconfig" in a pastebin | 21:11 |
| Salman | usr13: yes there i a wheel. thats what im using | 21:11 |
| yatta | for some reason after long time period lock screen freezes i'm using ubuntu 12.04 anyone else experienced this problem? | 21:11 |
| usr13 | Salman: ... like thumb wheels or slider, or switch or function keys. | 21:12 |
| usr13 | Salman: Do you have headphones plugged in? | 21:12 |
| Salman | usr13: thumb wheel but it springs back when i move it up or down. | 21:12 |
| usr13 | Salman: Really....? | 21:12 |
| Salman | usr13: like it controls the volume in lubuntu | 21:13 |
| usr13 | Salman: That is strange.... | 21:13 |
| Hrafn | While installing Ubuntu a few months back, I was inexperienced. I have learned later that I made a big mistake - I did not assign any swap space. Is there a way to assign swap space on my drive without having to reinstall and lose files? | 21:13 |
| Salman | usr13: its not a piece that controls the speakers. it controls the volume thing in lubutnu/windows | 21:14 |
| W4sp | Salman: I need to ask this, if you use the hardware volume control can you an indicator that volume increases? When you release the thumb weel does the visibale audio control snap back to '0'? | 21:14 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: Yes. But if you have not created a swap partition, that will need to be done first. | 21:14 |
| Hrafn | usr13: How would I do so? | 21:14 |
| ahoneybun | PapaSierra, did that work? | 21:15 |
| subz3r0 | katfa: please the output of "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper", "ndiswrapper -l"too | 21:15 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: You will need to use something like gparted. You could resize the MS Windows partition to a smaller size and allow about 4Gig or so for a small swap partition. | 21:16 |
| Salman | W4sp: when i push the wheel up the volume in lubutnu increases (like in alsamixer it goes up) and then it goes back and if i want to increase more i have to push it up and let go and so on | 21:16 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: and create the 4Gig swap partition and designate it as swap in the /etc/fstab file. | 21:16 |
| Hrafn | usr13: I do not have Windows, only Ubuntu. | 21:16 |
| Salman | i mean't the volume wheel goes back sorry | 21:16 |
| katfa | subz3r0: here are lsusb and dmesg | 21:16 |
| katfa | http://pastebin.com/3Pg108wg | 21:16 |
| Jordan_U | Hrafn: Yes. First, backup any important files to another drive (which you hopefully do regularly already). Then boot into a LiveCD (the CD you used to install Ubuntu will work fine), use GParted to resize your Ubuntu partition making room for swap at the end of the drive. Then create a swap partition there, and then configure that swap partition to be used by editing /etc/fstab. | 21:16 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: You use the startup CD which has gparted on it. | 21:17 |
| OerHeks | Salman, are you using Lubuntu within windows with wubi? | 21:17 |
| Hrafn | In other words, I will lose files? | 21:17 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: Or you can download a gparted liveCD | 21:17 |
| djzn | is formatting a NAND flash via the 'non-quick' format damage the unit? | 21:17 |
| katfa | lwconfig just has two lines, subz3r0 , lo and eth0 both saying no wireless extensions | 21:17 |
| W4sp | Salman: I see. For the heck of if, can you aplay an audio file with the thumb wheel pushed up so it is not '0' or off? Is that possible? | 21:17 |
| David-A | zack6849: if a program is only meaningful to run as superuser its dona automatically as most programs in system settings menu, but you can still start catalyst c c with sudo in a terminal (i dont use catalyst myself) but you must find out what the program name is | 21:17 |
| PapaSierra | ahoneybun still trying to find out what to do. i'll let you know i find out | 21:17 |
| Salman | W4sp: not working | 21:18 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: Or you can download a gparted liveCD from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php | 21:18 |
| Jordan_U | Hrafn: Resizing normally works fine and you keep all your files, but if something goes wrong then you want to have backups. Note that something could go wrong even if you aren't resizing a filesystem and so you should always have good backups. | 21:18 |
| Hrafn | I should have backups of my more important files. Thanks for the help. | 21:19 |
| usr13 | Hrafn: Yes, that is true | 21:19 |
| katfa | here you go subz3r0 bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed device (0846:9011) present | 21:19 |
| W4sp | Salman: I woulod need to boot get my lxde up. I will disconnect now but be back in a minute or so. | 21:20 |

| Salman | W4sp: i don't understand. can i send a screenshot? | 21:47 |

| Luig1 | Hi. I've been looking into drivers for laptops and it looks like hybrid graphics can get problematic on Linux. Does anyone know if amd or nvidia cards are better supported in this way, with current drivers? (free or proprietary) | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | Nvidia works great for me. Always has | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | amd is ok...but needs work. | 22:09 |
| Luig1 | lee8oi, do you have a laptop? | 22:09 |
| pseudonymous | Luig1: hybrid setups are a clusterf*ck | 22:09 |
| lee8oi | Nvidia also has access to physx in Wine so that helps extra. | 22:09 |
| OerHeks | Luig1, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 22:09 |
| Luig1 | I know pseudonymous :( | 22:09 |
| OerHeks | Luig1, it is far from perfect ATM | 22:10 |
| pseudonymous | Some laptops. Like Lenovo's usually allow you to select the GPU in BIOS so that you at least have access to whichever GPU you want, permanently | 22:10 |
| Luig1 | OerHeks, I've been to that page, but it doesn't address AMD at all | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | Luig1, Go with Nvidia, even on a laptop it rocks. Nvidia means dedicated graphics. | 22:10 |
| lee8oi | amd makes a lot of integrated....slower framerate but plays great in low graphics. | 22:10 |
| Luig1 | I know it does lee8oi but the thing that's making me hesitate is power management. With amd cards their linux driver seems to manage the discrete card way better than nvidia's even though nvidia seems to have better card | 22:11 |
| Luig1 | s | 22:11 |
| Luig1 | Oops, I didn't mean to put that s on it's own line, sorry :\ | 22:11 |
| Luig1 | So anyway I'm on the fence with this and there don't seem to be many resources to check concerning power management in current drivers | 22:12 |
| lee8oi | Luig1, then you have your answer. You might prefer to sacrifice graphics quality for power. Do you game much? | 22:12 |
| Luig1 | lee8oi, I think I probably will game quite a bit if I have a dedicated card. That's why I'm putting so much weight on this decision | 22:13 |
| lee8oi | for a laptop, integrated works fine if you don't really do any hardcore gaming | 22:13 |
| Luig1 | I see, hmm | 22:13 |
| pseudonymous | Yup. a VERY good question.. If you don't you may as well look into some of the intel cards. Pretty good open source drivers and they definitely make for a less troublesome experience. Even nvidia has problems on laptops (such as you ONLY being able to switch monitors via their damned nvidia-settings app - thus not scriptable.. it's a hassle) | 22:13 |
| === rohit is now known as Guest15860 | ||
| Luig1 | Do the Intel HD 4000 cards seem like they'll be decent for the next 3-5 years, for gaming? | 22:14 |
| lee8oi | basically integrated is slower framerate but it has more memory to work with. | 22:14 |
| lee8oi | I have intel integrated on 2 of my laptops. It works for 3D desktop/etc ok. Intel makes mostly integrated. | 22:15 |

| Thanos | they arent even good now. | 22:16 |
| Thanos | much less in 3 years. | 22:16 |
| Luig1 | I thought so :( that's why I'm looking so deeply into the discrete cards | 22:16 |
| Luig1 | On laptops though that brings a whole slew of power management issues with the optimus technology etc | 22:17 |
| Luig1 | They don't seem to use a hardware mux in anything anymore, either. It's a frustrating decision | 22:18 |
| Luig1 | You all have been really helpful, though | 22:18 |
| lee8oi | hey no problem. I actually stopped into ask a question myself | 22:18 |

| Luig1 | <liam> Thank you; Basically, it looks and feels sweet, except one thing; i have no wireless. | 22:31 |
| gld1982ltd | I have a broadcom card and I had to install the b43-firmware-installer and then the broadcom driver. | 22:31 |

| Baud_ | pseudonymous and extrasolar, thanks for your responses! I've tried installing the latest drivers via the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current commands and ive also installed compiz before. Compiz doesnt seem to work. I'll launch the manager and make configuration changes but it wont work. Im thinking its a driver issue but im not sure how to get ubuntu to recognize that ive installed any drivers. Under the about section of system settings | 22:32 |
| Luig1 | That's what he said earlier, extrasolar | 22:32 |
| Baud_ | is unknown and i dont have any drivers installed, even after apt-getting from nvidia | 22:32 |
| pseudonymous | Baud_: are you sure though ? If your nvidia driver is running you should be able to poke about inside 'nvidia-settings'.. if that works then most likely you're just stuck with Ubuntu 2D @ the login screen. Make sure to select unity 3d when you log in | 22:33 |
| extrasolar | Baud_ yes it does sound like a graphics card/driver issue to me | 22:33 |
| pseudonymous | Baud_: basically, click the little arrow-thingie next to your name and you should see unity 3d in the list | 22:33 |
| extrasolar | pseudonymous gave a good tip | 22:33 |

| extrasolar | CoolerKing can you describe you set-up? | 22:35 |
| CPUFixer | I fixed my CPU speed by installing cpufrequtils, and setting it on the setting that would be equal to MEDIUM of all things MEDIUM... So why wasn't ubuntu using even half of my CPU's capabilities? | 22:35 |
| CoolerKing | extrasolar: It's an Acer D257 netbook | 22:36 |

| liam | o...i have the dumbest question; i am using terminal, trying to get broadcom firmware...one thing | 22:36 |
| liam | how or what is the character that is the straight line? | 22:37 |
| CPUFixer | Don't f*** with the firmware without a boot disc to repair it. | 22:37 |
| deadmund | pipe | 22:37 |
| deadmund | it's the key above the enter key + shift | 22:37 |
| deadmund | It looks like two broken vertical lines on the key, but in the terminal it draws a single vertical line | 22:37 |
| deadmund | liam: ^^ | 22:37 |
| liam | backspace is above my enter key | 22:37 |
| deadmund | liam: http://www.davestechsupport.com/blog/images/pipesymbol.jpg | 22:38 |
| baud__ | I suppose I could download whatever the newest drivers from nvidia's site are. they come in a .run file. How do you install things from a .run? | 22:38 |
| liam | thanks lads... | 22:39 |
| deadmund | sure | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | CPUFixer: Please watch your language (obfuscated or otherwise). Also, in this case it's just the firmware in the Wireless card, which is lost when the hardware powers down anyway, so there's no real risk. | 22:39 |

| MagicalMuffin | ??? | 22:50 |
| fishbait | how do i find out whats randomly freezing my machine when i try to hibernate? | 22:51 |
| MagicalMuffin | I had no trouble | 22:51 |
| Dot_ | It doesn't boot, I went into the BIOS and made CD the first boot, but it still doesnt work. | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | what's the error? | 22:51 |
| MagicalMuffin | Dot_ | 22:51 |
| Dot_ | Nothing happens, it just continues to go to Windows 7.\ | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | Does it boot straight to the hard drive | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | are you saving the option? | 22:51 |
| MagicalMuffin | i think thats your problem | 22:51 |
| Dot_ | No, I chaned it to boot to CD. | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | are you sure | 22:51 |
| Dot_ | Yes I'm saving.. | 22:52 |
| MagicalMuffin | I had to disable mine | 22:52 |
| extrasolar | if in doubt there is a usually a boot menu button (F12 on my laptop) that shows a boot menu | 22:52 |
| extrasolar | you can choose there | 22:52 |
| === oakdog8 is now known as Guest52676 | ||

| extrasolar | Dot_ sure | 22:58 |
| johnwerneken | ok. Ubuntu installer gives a third option "other" to replace or instal as multi-boot, it has among other things a setting to set which side in dev (which I think means same as partition in windows, not sure) to let run the multi-boot. I want to know how to find out which one DOES run it, and how to change it if it gets switched or if I dislike the outcome...when it works not, at least I get a | 22:58 |
| johnwerneken | Grub command line | 22:58 |
| lopsider | ty extra i'll check it out | 22:59 |
| johnwerneken | Error was "unknown file system" when I chose the dev side with win8 and ITS multi-booter let me chose win7...then grub gave that unknown file system error | 22:59 |
| extrasolar | set the file system? | 23:00 |
| johnwerneken | Or to phrase it differently, how to use GRUB to re-set whether Grub or Windows handles the multi-boot... | 23:00 |
| extrasolar | you want grub to be in the master boot record? | 23:00 |
| extrasolar | or the windows one? | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | johnwerneken: If you are talking about the option for where to install grub's boot secto, it should always go in the MBR (never in a partition). | 23:01 |

| johnwerneken | jordan it wirks fine that way switching ubuntu win8 and win8 server but it gets lost if i try to load win7...and if that happens again i have a 6 hour re-image problem or a 12 hour one if I update the mirror first, as I would if I tried it again without knowing FIRST how to resole the error... | 23:19 |
| rrrrr_ | thanks ubottu | 23:19 |
| extrasolar | fishbait Did you make your swap space the same size as your ram? | 23:20 |
| Draugauth | anyone? | 23:20 |
| fishbait | extrasolar: twice the size of ram | 23:20 |
| extrasolar | Hibernate saves the contents of your RAM to your swap partition. Therefore, your swap partition must be at least as large as your RAM | 23:21 |
| extrasolar | oh | 23:21 |
| johnwerneken | aha i see how private chat works thanks guys | 23:21 |
| Draugauth | Need help with 12.04 LTS install. After installing and booting up the top menu bar is blank and the icons are all missing. | 23:22 |
| extrasolar | Draugauth does the unity side bar still appear? | 23:22 |
| extrasolar | is it just the notifications icons that are missing? | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, try alt-f2 and type in unity --reset | 23:22 |
| Draugauth | extrasolar: No it doesn't. I can right click on the menu bar and get the notification menus but no icons and no unity bar. | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | then enter of course | 23:23 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Trying right now | 23:23 |
| extrasolar | fishbait does it freeze when you suspend or sleep too? | 23:23 |
| extrasolar | fishbait and have you looked in /var/log/pm-suspend.log | 23:24 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Alt-F2 doesn't do anything | 23:24 |
| fishbait | not sure never tried it doesn't every time either and i will look in that log | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, you can do it from a terminal as well, it will run it again I believe when you close the terminal, you are resetting the unity desktop | 23:25 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: How can I bring up the terminal? | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, try alt-ctrl-t | 23:26 |
| lewis1711 | some media players respond to laptop "hot keys" like the play button, next track button, etc etc. how is this done? | 23:26 |
| extrasolar | Draugauth type atrl+alt+f1 | 23:26 |

| bustacap | How can I get my ubuntu to stop making my youtube videos fullscreen across both monitors, and just on one? | 23:27 |
| extrasolar | I know | 23:27 |
| extrasolar | still a terminal | 23:27 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Ok that gave me the terminal. just ran unity --reset (compiz (decor) - Warn: failed to bind pixmap to texture) | 23:27 |
| wilee-nilee | extrasolar, then explain that not interject inbetween a command to do something else. | 23:27 |
| extrasolar | wilee-nilee huh? | 23:28 |
| fishbait | extrasolar: could this be a clue it appears in multiple pm-suspend log files http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138706 | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | extrasolar, it is a comand line yes but a different picture of what the user is exspecting. | 23:29 |
| extrasolar | well as long a terminal is up | 23:29 |
| bustacap | How can I get my ubuntu to stop making my youtube videos fullscreen across both monitors, and just on one? | 23:29 |
| lewis1711 | hmmm it's a mystery, a bunch of threads asking the same question :) | 23:29 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Ok it looks like the unity desktop is fubar for some reason on a new install. would apt get work? (got a screen full of errors and warns with the unity --reset command) | 23:29 |
| bustacap | lewis1711, you talking to me? | 23:29 |
| Asad2005 | i am having boot time delay from netwok connection. i tried commenting auto etho in network interfaces but eth0 did not start | 23:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, have you run a update and checked the additional drivers as well, I wonder if this is a graphics problem. | 23:30 |
| fishbait | bustacap: thats a known bug with dual monitors one workaround is trying youtubes html5 player others are available via google | 23:30 |
| lewis1711 | bustacap: myself sorta. sorry | 23:30 |
| Asad2005 | its ubuntu 12.04 but not sure what upgrade affected boot time | 23:30 |
| bustacap | lewis1711, lol ok | 23:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, others can probably be more helpful here to be honest. | 23:31 |
| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Nvidia Gefore 7300 and the video drivers are loaded and working or at least that's what it said. How can I run update from the command line? | 23:31 |
| bustacap | fishbait, ok, i just figured i'd ask here incase I was just retarded lol | 23:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:31 |

| Draugauth | wilee-nilee: Ok I'll try that. Thank you again. | 23:32 |
| extrasolar | try unplugging all cards and usbs and see if that helps | 23:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Draugauth, there is a 2d desktop choosen at login with a drop down as well, this may be where you go if needed while working on the problem. | 23:32 |
| extrasolar | also consider using tuxonice | 23:32 |
| fishbait | hmm i did notice some text something about not thaw async error -62 | 23:32 |
| === tommy_ is now known as Guest44635 | ||

| bustacap | How do I remove a whole folder by command line? | 23:34 |
| fishbait | rrrr_: google nuff said | 23:34 |
| rubious | bustacap: rm -rf folder/ | 23:34 |
| zykotick9 | bustacap: "rm -r /path/folder" | 23:34 |
| rrrrr_ | ok | 23:34 |
| extrasolar | bustacap rm -rf foldername | 23:34 |
| Draugauth | Hey the 2D option gave me the unity bar and all the notification icons etc. | 23:34 |
| bustacap | Thanks, the -rf is what I kept forgetting :P | 23:35 |

| fishbait | draugauth: check your graphics card drivers | 23:36 |

| extrasolar | (00:36:34) extrasolar: rrrrr learn HTML and CSS | 23:37 |
| shockingbehavur | is it possible to run 32-bit precise on a 64-bit machine i hear it works for both os would it run in the same way | 23:37 |
| MonkeyDust | shockingbehavur you need ia32-libs | 23:37 |
| extrasolar | fishbait did you try unplugging ? | 23:37 |
| Draugauth | fishbait: Nvidia accelerated graphics driver version 173 is active and in use. | 23:37 |
| extrasolar | shockingbehavur yes it works | 23:37 |
| fishbait | trying now | 23:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest44106 | ||

| Draugauth | I'm switching back to ubuntu because Win7 decided to give me network problems again when I installed a dual port gigabit nic. | 23:39 |
| fishbait | ahh i think i found it something on my powered usb hub | 23:39 |
| [4-tea-2] | Hi, is there a new common bug relating to drop-down menus (precise, Unity)? | 23:39 |
| Fudge | hi has anyone had problems ubuntu precise where the output device for sound is lost and you have to go back and specify it to regain audio on the desktop? | 23:40 |
| FiZZilE | im trying to decide which flavour im going to get ubuntu or xubuntu, unity or xfce | 23:40 |
| Fudge | FiZZilE does your hardware dictate your choice? | 23:40 |
| FiZZilE | i like a bottom dock idea.. Fudge i have very good hardware | 23:41 |
| fishbait | extrasolar: thanks for the help i think i can find the problem device from her by just trying them 1 at a time | 23:41 |
| konradb | hi, how can I gen log me in Hamachi on ubuntu? | 23:41 |
| FiZZilE | Fudge: i was a big gnome 2 fan.. | 23:41 |
| konradb | FiZZilE: freebsd then | 23:41 |
| konradb | ;d | 23:41 |
| FiZZilE | konradb: not that i still want to use gnome2 :P | 23:42 |
| extrasolar | FiZZilE see MATE | 23:42 |
| extrasolar | it is gnome 2 forled | 23:42 |
| extrasolar | forked | 23:42 |
| konradb | FiZZilE: on freebsd you can use what you want | 23:42 |
| FiZZilE | extrasolar: MATE? | 23:42 |
| extrasolar | fishbait it's ok | 23:42 |
| extrasolar | yeah | 23:42 |
| Fudge | but freebsd is stable gnome, not latest | 23:43 |
| extrasolar | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_(desktop_environment) | 23:43 |
| FiZZilE | konradb: yea maybe, but i dont quite have alot of experience so freebsd may not be so great | 23:43 |
| [4-tea-2] | When a Unity session has been running for a while here (a few hours), suddenly all kinds of drop-down menus stop to open, in applications and in the menu bar. Anybody seen something like that? It started only very recently. Definitely after the last Unity update. | 23:43 |
| Fudge | FiZZilE you can install gnome fallback which is very fast or just try out xubuntu, its a good community | 23:43 |
| extrasolar | alternatively use debian 6.x | 23:44 |
| FiZZilE | Fudge: it seems as no one talks very good about unity lol | 23:44 |
| [4-tea-2] | I've used Unity exclusively since... uhm... 11.04? | 23:44 |
| Megas | Hi to all,i have installed a version of chromeOS brought by hexxex now i want to re-install ubuntu..but when i insert the liveusb he say Missing operating sistem..i tryed everything but still nothing.. | 23:44 |
| FiZZilE | [4-tea-2]: how you find unity? | 23:44 |
| [4-tea-2] | FiZZilE: as long as it opens xterms and browser windows, I'm good. | 23:45 |
| extrasolar | Megas what method did you use to install the ISO to the usb stick? | 23:45 |
| [4-tea-2] | Well, menus would be nice, too. | 23:45 |
| Draugauth | Anyone know how to setup teaming on nics? | 23:45 |
| FiZZilE | is there a way to move unity's dock to the bottom of the screen? | 23:45 |
| Megas | I tryed Ubuntu live usb creator | 23:45 |
| [4-tea-2] | FiZZilE: But since it stopped working for me and nobody else knows anything about the bug I'm seeing, I guess I have to try something else now. | 23:46 |
| extrasolar | ok so when you attempt to boot to the usb stick, what error appears? | 23:46 |
| extrasolar | what happens? | 23:46 |
| Megas | It just say Missing operating sistem then chromeOS boot from the HDD | 23:46 |
| extrasolar | It sounds something went wrong here | 23:47 |
| extrasolar | I am afraid you need to install the OS to the usb stick again | 23:47 |
| Fudge | FiZZilE I think its just a case of getting used to it, I loved gnome2 classic but now am very comfortable with unity | 23:47 |
| Megas | I can't even run the live-pen | 23:47 |
| Megas | He dosent let me boot it | 23:47 |
| extrasolar | yes becuase it has no operating system | 23:47 |
| extrasolar | you need to put an ISO image on it | 23:48 |
| Draugauth | Anyone know how to setup teaming on nics? | 23:48 |
| Megas | I made it,with ubuntu live usb creator | 23:48 |
| extrasolar | how did you comfirm that the ISO was on the sick? | 23:48 |
| extrasolar | did you check? | 23:48 |
| Megas | Yep | 23:48 |
| extrasolar | how? | 23:48 |
| Megas | From another computer | 23:48 |
| FiZZilE | can you just use straight up gnome 3 in ubuntu? you know what i mean? | 23:48 |
| extrasolar | how though? | 23:49 |
| Megas | From the computer windows,wubi and all the other folders are in the stick | 23:49 |
| extrasolar | did you boot from the USB stick on another computer | 23:49 |
| Draugauth | Megas: Can you use the usb drive to boot on another computer? | 23:49 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | FiZZilE | 23:49 |
| ubottu | FiZZilE: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:49 |
| Draugauth | Megas: Also something I had problems with was use the Fat16/32 formats for the live usb drive. I had to use NTFS to get my system to actually boot from it. | 23:50 |
| Megas | Nope he dosent let me do it either! I tryed on a windows 8 machine and a chromeOS they all do the same thing ''missing operating sistem'' | 23:50 |
| extrasolar | Megas..... | 23:50 |
| extrasolar | you have no ISO on that usbstick | 23:50 |
| Draugauth | Megas: Then the MBR is damaged. Make a new USB Boot drive | 23:50 |
| extrasolar | Try pendrivelinux.com on windows | 23:50 |
| duhamel | I am running xubuntu 12.04 i am hoping to remote control my desktop from my android phone, i downloaded openssh to ubuntu and i have installed ubuntu remote control to android but when i try to connect through IP it tells me connection refused. | 23:50 |
| extrasolar | then boot to it | 23:51 |
| Draugauth | Anyone know how to setup teaming on nics? | 23:51 |
| duhamel | what am i doing wrong | 23:51 |
| duhamel | ? | 23:51 |
| Megas | Affermative i try NTFS format with that program | 23:51 |
| Megas | I will let you know what happen ty extrasolar and Draugauth :3 | 23:51 |
| FiZZilE | Jordan_U: thank you i guess i'm going to install xubuntu and install gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tools and try both xfce and gnome 3.. | 23:51 |
| Draugauth | extrasolar: Any idea on how to get Ubuntu to recognize it is on a desktop and not a laptop? it claims my display is laptop /lol | 23:52 |
| Draugauth | Anyone know how to setup teaming on nics? | 23:52 |
| mbeierl1 | Odd. I am running ubuntu studio 12.04, with gnome-desktop-environment set as well, and I cannot get dual monitor support working anymore. It worked on 11.10. Right now it only allows me to position the two monitors in a desktop maximum 1366 x 1366 | 23:53 |
| extrasolar | what thinks you have a laptop? | 23:53 |
| mbeierl1 | xrandr states: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 1024, maximum 1366 x 1366 | 23:53 |
| extrasolar | may have to be a bit more specific | 23:53 |
| Draugauth | extrasolar: System Settings - Displays | 23:53 |
| Megas | I will never-ever try a ChromeOS ._. | 23:54 |
| Megas | It's like burn all your hardware | 23:54 |
| cafree | Hi, I've got a HD hooked up to an external enclosure, via USB and can't seem to mount it. I could have sworn this is something that auto-mounted in the past. | 23:54 |
| Megas | I think that even the Nasa computer is unable to view full HD video on that thing lol | 23:55 |
| duhamel | cafree: do you get an error message? | 23:55 |
| alabamahit | Hey guys got a problem with my 'mouse'. It lags across the screen...and at idea my cpu is at like 7%..(i7 2600k with gigabyte board) so shouldn't be up that high. not sure if they are related or not. best way to describe it is like watching a video on youtube and someone is recording their screen and the mouse seems to lag behind.. | 23:55 |
| cafree | I'll check | 23:55 |
| Draugauth | extrasolar: System Settings - Displays | 23:56 |
| duhamel | I am running xubuntu 12.04 i am hoping to remote control my desktop from my android phone, i downloaded openssh to ubuntu and i have installed ubuntu remote control to android but when i try to connect through IP it tells me connection refused. | 23:56 |
| extrasolar | Draugauth so what laptop do you have? | 23:56 |
| extrasolar | are you trying to set up dual monitors or something? | 23:56 |
| Megas | Still the same error,Missing operating sistem extrasolar | 23:56 |
| extrasolar | Megas | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | ok | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | I shall walk you through this | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | What computer are you using now? | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | as you talk to me? | 23:57 |
| Megas | A windows notebook | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | ok | 23:57 |
| extrasolar | is the USB stick pluged into the windows notebook? | 23:58 |
| Megas | Yep | 23:58 |
| Draugauth | extrasolar: Don't have ubuntu running on a laptop. It's a desktop system. Asus P5NSLI with an Intel X6800. 8GB ram. 120GB SSD for the OS and Home. Highpoint Rocketraid 3560 with 4 2TB drives running in R6. Monitor is an Asus monitor | 23:58 |
| duhamel | megas: are you dual booting? | 23:58 |
| Megas | duhamel: No there is just chromeOS in the target netbook and in the computer that im using now only windows | 23:59 |
| extrasolar | o you need to download this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/#button | 23:59 |
| extrasolar | it will install the ISO for you to the pen drive | 23:59 |
| Megas | I just can't get that livepen to book | 23:59 |
