[00:01] <calzifer> Devvie: its very risky, but you could try UBCD4WIN and try to repair your hdd
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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...
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <TaJMoX> How can I drag launcher icon's placement around in unity launcher??
[00:04] <calzifer> Devvie: http://www.ntfs.com/quest14.htm
[00:04] <viper474> daslizard: did clearing your cache help?
[00:05] <Devvie> calzifer: Thanks! I'll go try those now and see how it works. Thanks for your help!
[00:06] <fatmandown> Does anyone know of a good IDE for web development? Ideally I'm looking for seamless FTP integration, automatic code cleanup, bracket matching, etc
[00:06] <calzifer> mhsy: read the part "Recovering Your Data Automatically" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory/
[00:06] <fatmandown> i've been using gEdit but lately that just hasn't been enough
[00:07] <mhsy> calzifer, reading now
[00:07] <calzifer> fatmandown: i dont know for what language, but i like netbeans....you could try ecplipse too
[00:07] <zykotick9> !ide | fatmandown
[00:07] <mhsy> okay, trying to mount the encrypted hard drive
[00:08] <fatmandown> calzifer: javascript, html, php, jquery/ui
[00:08] <fatmandown> but thank you
[00:08] <zykotick9> !html | fatmandown this is better actually
[00:10] <mhsy> logging out, brb

[00:12] <mikehaas763> Hi, is it possible to have ubuntu/xorg rescan for mouse/keyboard to create new auto settings for them?
[00:12] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello, guys. I'm having problems while installing the lxc package, the output is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1137158/ Could you please give me a hand on that?
[00:14] <TaJMoX> How do I change the launcher icons order?
[00:14] <JoseeAntonioR> TaJMoX: Dragging them around
[00:15] <TaJMoX> JoseeAntonioR I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 ... when I drag the Firefox icon down, it just scrolls the launcher bar down
[00:16] <JoseeAntonioR> TaJMoX: Before you drag it, you need to keep pressing the icon for around 3s
[00:16] <calzifer> JoseeAntonioR: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1011428 i cant find a fix
[00:16] <TaJMoX> JoseeAntonioR THANKS That's it!
[00:16] <JoseeAntonioR> np
[00:17] <JoseeAntonioR> calzifer: seems like I've already fixed it, thanks anyway.
[00:17] <calzifer> JoseeAntonioR: how did you fix it?
[00:17] <JoseeAntonioR> calzifer: changing the value of USE_LXC_BRIDGE to false in /etc/default/lxc
[00:19] <flavius_> helo

[00:22] <fatmandown> zykotick9, thank you! i like kompozer but is there a way I can change the default colors for the editor?

[00:35] <haniya> hello everyone
[00:37] <Pulsar5271> During the alternate ubuntu 12.04 setup, the "Select and install software" step is failing.  Checking the debug logs tells me that "xserver-xorg-video-all has unmet dependencies".  How do I do something about that from the alternate installer?
[00:38] <nasa01> Hi, anyone know how to solve the problem described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57238/wrong-audio-volume-at-boot?  None of the solutions posted there work for me...
[00:40] <jcgalue> una ayudita con xubuntu 12.04
[00:41] <killerswan> hi, so I just used the alternate installer to setup an XUbuntu 12.04 system...  and I was never prompted to create a user account...
[00:41] <killerswan> is this expected?
[00:42] <Pulsar5271> During the alternate ubuntu 12.04 setup, the "Select and install software" step is failing.  Checking the debug logs tells me that "xserver-xorg-video-all has unmet dependencies".  How do I do something about that from the alternate installer?
[00:42] <Evil_Netbook> Is there a way to completely nuke and pave everything to do with networking in ubuntu?  My wireless stopped working and i've done everything else I can think of.
[00:43] <Dr_Willis> I find its often the fix's that break things more so other fix's dont work. :)
[00:44] <Evil_Netbook> Dr_Willis: I find the same, which is why I'm where I am :)
[00:44] <rustler770> Dr. Willis:I have come to the conclusion that my Asus laptop can not be configured to boot from USB or SD Card

[00:47] <Dr_Willis> rustler770:  that would be very weird for a recent pc.
[00:48] <rustler770> I tried every where in the bios, could not find a way
[00:49] <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.
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> My ASUS's all support booting from exteranl drives. One uses the DEL key, Or F8/F9. another uses the esc  key.
[00:50] <rustler770> Dr_Willis: Searched web, others had problem no one had an answer.
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> i always put a sticker on the keyboard where the key is at..
[00:51] <Dr_Willis> smack ALL the keys as it boots. ;P  also if theres a fast boot option. disable that.
[00:51] <rustler770> Dr_Willis tried F12, ESC TAB only F2 works
[00:55] <Evil_Netbook> I think kismet hosed the firmware on my wireless card :P
[00:56] <bz> mpl la nui
[00:57] <rustler770> Dr_Willis TAB gives disk choices, but only hard drive and DVD
[00:57] <Dr_Willis> rustler770:  does the usb flash boot on other pcs?
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> F8 here shows all the hds. and usbs IF they are bootable..
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> other then that.. im out of ideas.. night all
[01:00] <rustler770> Dr_Willis Haven't tried only have one other 64 bit machine, this one I'll try it but I sur the Asus is nit even looking at USB no option given

[01:15] <Claximillions> Hi all
[01:16] <Claximillions> Is there an easy way to download apps on a windows box and transfer them to an ubuntu box?
[01:16] <Mikeulus> Clax - CD Rom?
[01:17] <Mikeulus> Thumb drive?
[01:17] <Claximillions> Makes sense
[01:18] <Claximillions> What all do I have to do to run it off of either?
[01:18] <Mikeulus> How do you mean?
[01:18] <Mikeulus> The application to run on both?
[01:18] <Claximillions> I need to install an older version of network manager on ubuntu server. I'm hoping its my problem.
[01:19] <Mikeulus> so you can't get connected to the network then?
[01:19] <Claximillions> I had internet working fine on Ubuntu Desktop 11/12 and I switched to Ubuntu Server and I can't connect to the network
[01:19] <Claximillions> eth0 isn't being managed by ubuntu
[01:19] <Claximillions> And I'm trying to fix that :\
[01:19] <Claximillions> ifconfig
[01:19] <Claximillions> Woops, wrong keyboard lol
[01:20] <Claximillions> any ideas?
[01:21] <Mikeulus> ifconfig down/up
[01:22] <Claximillions> error fetching interface information: Device not found
[01:22] <aztek[tum]> On Ubuntu server, how would i see nfs log messages. I can't figure where to look for errors that may be causing my problem.
[01:23] <Mikeulus> aztek, /var/log ?
[01:24] <aztek[tum]> i've looked through everything with tail -f nothing changes
[01:24] <bz> aztek[tum]: dmesg?
[01:24] <Mikeulus> got a locate database up and running?
[01:25] <nitsca> logout
[01:26] <codephobic> hi
[01:26] <codephobic> is there a channel for google maps questions?
[01:26] <enderdad> hey
[01:26] <Mikeulus> sup
[01:26] <wallnuts> hello...  I'm trying to get a shell on tty8 so that I can have a new xsession for another user account, but I can't seem to figure it out
[01:28] <Mikeulus> clax, did you try 'ifconfig down' then 'ifconfig up'
[01:28] <aztek[tum]> Mikeulus: did you mean me when you asked about locate db
[01:28] <Claximillions> I did
[01:28] <Claximillions> Mikeulus: I did
[01:28] <phonebook_> greetings all
[01:29] <Claximillions> Hihi
[01:29] <phonebook_> new question today...
[01:29] <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?
[01:30] <phonebook_> my current installation, not a virtual os
[01:30] <wallnuts> thanks!
[01:30] <L3top> yes phonebook_
[01:30] <phonebook_> SCHWEET!
[01:30] <phonebook_> ..well
[01:30] <phonebook_> im trying in virtualbox
[01:31] <Claximillions> Can you run virtualboxes within virtualboxes?
[01:31] <Mikeulus> inception box...
[01:31] <phonebook_> its forcing me to create a virtual hdd
[01:31] <enderdad> what's the best way to get all media codecs setup on a fresh ubuntu install? i've tried medibuntu and installing the restricted codecs package and my music still isn't playing
[01:31] <enderdad> sorry to interrupt
[01:32] <phonebook_> says it needs a disk image
[01:32] <phonebook_> alas i have none
[01:32] <weiyang> can i use dd to make a iso to a dvd disk?
[01:32] <Mikeulus> Is anyone running thunderbird 14 with gmail on ubuntu?
[01:32] <Claximillions> phonebook_: download one ^^
[01:32] <wilee-nilee> phonebook_, I would look on the web for instructions it is not like plug and play.
[01:33] <phonebook_> but it will be run my current installation?
[01:33] <phonebook_> not a new installation?
[01:33] <phonebook_> sry, *it will run my current installation?
[01:33] <wilee-nilee> phonebook_, if you can figure it yes.
[01:33] <phonebook_> ok what the hell
[01:33] <Mikeulus> clax, is eth0 even showing up with ifconfig -a
[01:33] <phonebook_> ill give it a shot
[01:33] <Claximillions> yes Mikeulus
[01:34] <wilee-nilee> phonebook_, it will be limited to the vbox drivers, and if it is a oem it may not be legal, check if that matters
[01:34] <Claximillions> Everything is 0 on ifconfig -a except for MTU, Metric, and Interrupt
[01:35] <phonebook_> i built this system myself so it shoudl be legit
[01:35] <Aaron>  join #archlinux
[01:35] <phonebook_> making a .iso now... will let you know how it goes
[01:35] <Aaron> damn
[01:35] <Aaron> i forgot the /
[01:36] <phonebook_> windows would be a great application for ubuntu lulz
[01:36] <Claximillions> =P
[01:36] <crimsonmane> enderdad: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:36] <enderdad> ok
[01:36] <enderdad> i already have that installed
[01:36] <enderdad> and rhythmbox will playback the files but no audio
[01:37] <enderdad> exhaile won't play back files stating that i'm missing a resource
[01:37] <Claximillions> What format does a usb drive have to be to work with ubuntu?
[01:37] <Maccer> Is there a package that provides run as root context menu in a context menu?  That would be very useful.
[01:37] <Mikeulus> clax is your router serving ip addresses? (DHCP)
[01:37] <Maccer> Or save as root in gedit, that would be awesome.
[01:38] <L3top> gksudo gedit file
[01:39] <Claximillions> Mikeulus: best way to check?
[01:39] <Mikeulus> you can log into your router, or check your other machine
[01:39] <Claximillions> Yeah, I am
[01:39] <Claximillions> my router is serving ip addresses
[01:42] <enderdad> would there be a better channel to join for audio issues with ubuntu 12.04
[01:43] <Claximillions> enderdad: I'm new to ubuntu audio. What file extensions do you need and you have?
[01:44] <Resinator> okay
[01:44] <enderdad> mainly mp3 and wma files
[01:44] <Resinator> i am on xubuntu 12.04, every time i boot my computer i have to type "sudo modprobe b43" for my broadcom bcm4311 network adapter
[01:45] <Resinator> how can i make it automatically do the modprobe thingy when i boot?
[01:45] <phonebook_> does this command make sense to anyone? dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso
[01:46] <Mikeulus> ok clax, try 'sudo dhclient -r', then 'sudo dhclient', then 'ifconfig -a' and check what that did
[01:47] <phonebook_> oh
[01:47] <xangua> Resinator: are you using a kernel not provided from ubuntu repository¿
[01:47] <phonebook_> apparantly it was working just not giving updates
[01:48] <Resinator> no
[01:48] <Resinator> i just installed yesterday
[01:49] <zhangnaigang> hi
[01:49] <Claximillions> Mikeulus: Nothing :\
[01:50] <Mikeulus> /etc/init.d/networking stop, then /etc/init.d/networking start
[01:52] <craig> can ubuntu desktop edition be installed on a netbook
[01:53] <Maccer> L3top: I could do that, but that's not a context menu.  I might as well just do sudo gedit
[01:53] <Hwkiller> Yes, craig
[01:53] <craig> thx
[01:53] <Hwkiller> "desktop" just refers to x86 processors that aren't servers
[01:54] <L3top> !gksudo
[01:54] <Maccer> M'kay, I can see an argument for that L3top.
[01:57] <phonebook_> if this works it is highly unlikely i will go back to windows
[02:03] <zaitzev> if I have fileA with a long list of ip addresses, one per line, and fileB with a few addresses, how can I find out if any of the addresses in fileB is present in fileA?
[02:05] <sabin-ubuntu> use diff
[02:05] <zaitzev> yeah I tried, the output confused the heck out of me..
[02:08] <phonebook_> brb need to mess with bios
[02:08] <agas> how can i install ubuntu on a usb key
[02:08] <sabin-ubuntu> depend on your bios support
[02:09] <sabin-ubuntu> i'm currently deploying several machines on usb
[02:09] <crimsonmane> agas: download UNETBOOTIN
[02:09] <aleaxet55> Is there any way I could add folders to my dash menu?
[02:10] <crimsonmane> agas: if you already have the ISO, then when you run UNETBOOTIN you want to use the bottom radio button. also make sure the flash drive is connected before running UNETBOOTIN
[02:10] <hadees> join #ubuntu-server
[02:10] <hadees> oops
[02:10] <hadees> a couple of my disks keep reading as "Device or resource busy" i can't figure out what is using them
[02:11] <hadees> i need to free them up so I can add them to my zfs pool
[02:11] <hadees> any idea?
[02:12] <linus> id like to use my headphone or lineout jacks as a coax audio port for dolby digital 5.1. this should be possible with a simple stereo headphone plug to rca plug adapter and the apropriate software. has anyone seen a project like this before?
[02:12] <flaguy48> zaitzev: try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff
[02:12] <agas> when i install with unetbootin is it live?
[02:12] <crimsonmane> agas: yes
[02:13] <agas> but i dont want live
[02:14] <descra> Hello, have anyone tried a usb->vga in ubuntu? (like that one: http://eu.startech.com/AV/USB-Video-Adapters/USB-VGA-External-Multi-Monitor-Video-Adapter~USB2VGAE2 )
[02:14] <zaitzev> flaguy48: been there already, not much help in it. I don't see how diff is useful in this situation..
[02:14] <zaitzev> flaguy48: If I have a file with, say, 2000 words in it, and another with 5 words, the output of diff is just ridiculous and unreadable.
[02:15] <crimsonmane> agas: then what is your objective?
[02:15] <HowardTheDuck> hey
[02:15] <HowardTheDuck> how is everyone
[02:15] <HowardTheDuck> has the optimus trap been fixed yet?
[02:16] <agas> crimsonmane: i want to add applications, files bla bla bla
[02:17] <phonebook_> aight - oracle virtual box appears ready to happily install 7
[02:17] <phonebook_> which might be fine
[02:17] <phonebook_> but i was promised a way to use my existing installation
[02:18] <xangua> !usb | agas
[02:18] <phonebook_> im installing a fresh copy anyhow, i can at least just drag apps over
[02:19] <crimsonmane> agas: you need to select "persistance" when making it
[02:19] <agas> xangua: but we can do it with arch linux
[02:19] <crimsonmane> agas: ALSO you can select the USB as the target installation drive instead of the hard drive
[02:19] <HowardTheDuck> can i install ubuntu on my laptop, i tried 10.04 and it didnt work
[02:19] <agas> i dont want persistance. it isnt like installing hdd
[02:20] <agas> crimsonmane: ok i understand
[02:20] <agas> i think i must change grub when i do this
[02:20] <agas> sorry i wanna say grub configuration
[02:21] <aleaxet55> Is there any way to add parent folders to my dash bar? One that doesn't open up the folder browser.
[02:28] <TJPeden> Is the GeForce GTX 460 not supported in 12.04?
[02:28] <TJPeden> I'm not even able to boot Ubuntu with the card in the computer
[02:29] <ylmf-os> 谁在？
[02:30] <TJPeden> Where's google translate when you need it?
[02:31] <linus_> @JTPeden you should be fine using the nouveau or nv driver
[02:31] <wilee-nilee> TJPeden, I see this use at your own risk. http://askubuntu.com/questions/140760/ubuntu-12-04-nvidia-gtx-460-video-card-installation
[02:31] <giiker> I have enabled rsyslog remote logginf in ubuntu, but don't see any mesgs from the remote machine, how do I create a log msg from teh remote machine to see if rsyslog works. I alread check if it's listening on the right port.
[02:31] <giiker> and it does
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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?
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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
[02:37] <linus_> either way you need to remove the nividia prorprietary driver and install nouveau
[02:38] <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
[02:39] <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?
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <L3top> I dont think the nv driver exists anymore.
[02:41] <linus_> xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[02:42] <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.
[02:44] <TJPeden> me too, I'm quite sick of Windows lol
[02:44] <OldOneEye> how do i install sdl
[02:48] <linus_> @OldOneEye run synaptic and search for sdl
[02:49] <Loseyourgod666> #ubuntu
[02:52] <tf2ftw> anyone running Audio Recorder?
[02:53] <linus_> @tf2ftw i usuall use audacity to do audio recordings
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <linus_> id use mplayer to save the stream
[02:55] <tf2ftw> havent tried that yet. installing now..
[02:55] <linus_> sorry i meant mencoder
[02:56] <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.
[02:57] <linus_> never used groove shark, does it have web interface?
[02:57] <tf2ftw> yeah its like last.fm
[02:57] <tf2ftw> but amazingly better
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <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.
[03:00] <adf_> I am trying to run the Ubuntu in the Sun Virtual box
[03:00] <L3top> !root | tf2ftw
[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
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <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?
[03:03] <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
[03:05] <tf2ftw> linus_, pm ?
[03:05] <linus_> ?
[03:06] <tf2ftw> linus_, can i pm?
[03:07] <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.
[03:08] <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.
[03:09] <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
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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?
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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"
[03:15] <linus_> if it is windows 7 he probably has empty paririons already
[03:15] <linus_> sorry meant partitions
[03:15] <JonLimitless> okay, crap i forget how to make a new partition... isn't that in the computer window
[03:16] <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
[03:17] <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.
[03:18] <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.
[03:19] <linus_> worst opertating system ever is a lie, but biggest waste of money would be true
[03:19] <TrollingForSoup> It's kinda bloated.
[03:20] <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?
[03:21] <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.
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <linus_> no network manager, no sound manager, nothing. It doesnt even qualify as a modern operating system.
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <linus_> you can have a network of course. you just need to configure it manuallu

[03:26] <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?
[03:27] <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.
[03:28] <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.
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <trism> OldOneEye: libsdl-net1.2-dev
[03:31] <OldOneEye> how i install
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <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?
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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.
[03:37] <TrollingForSoup> I can help you figure it out, though.
[03:37] <_quest10> the last thing that I do, was using that tool for remove old configuration files
[03:37] <_quest10> know I can't login on lightdm
[03:38] <_quest10> *now
[03:38] <TrollingForSoup> Well, installing LightDM messed up login for me.
[03:38] <TrollingForSoup> Let me check something.
[03:38] <_quest10> i'm on recory mode now

[03:40] <Costeelation> yes mate
[03:40] <L3top> Costeelation: There are several. I use kb3
[03:41] <L3top> TheRiverBend: This is an ubuntu support channel... and as such such conversation is very off topic, and this place is to remain family friendly.
[03:41] <Costeelation> that program create .iso image?
[03:41] <Costeelation> L3top,
[03:41] <L3top> Yes Costeelation... among other things.

[03:44] <tf2ftw> JonLimitless, use your ethernet connection and then check your restricted drivers
[03:44] <JonLimitless> its sad how you need the internet to install a wireless adapter drive haha
[03:45] <tf2ftw> Stanley00, glad its working for you, move up to i7 and you will be amazed
[03:46] <tf2ftw> i wish there could be an xfce with all the unity goodies.. live would be sweet

[03:50] <frewsxcv> I have an executable binary. How do I create a launcher for it on Unity?
[03:50] <tf2ftw> frewsxcv, type in the name in unity and drag it to your dock
[03:51] <Beast> anyone know if Google has released a Google Earth Pro version for Linux? I've read that NOT, but I just dled a binary file for it. It doesn't run though.
[03:52] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: type it in where?
[03:52] <tf2ftw> hit the "windows" button
[03:52] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: what am i typing in there?
[03:52] <tf2ftw> the name of your program
[03:53] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: it doesn't show up, and i don't see why it would
[03:53] <tf2ftw> is it executable?
[03:53] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: yep
[03:53] <tf2ftw> where is it located?
[03:53] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: in /opt
[03:54] <frewsxcv> though i can't drag anything from unity search to the bar anyways
[03:54] <tf2ftw> thats a problem
[03:54] <tf2ftw> what version are you running
[03:54] <frewsxcv> 5.12
[03:54] <tf2ftw> ubuntu version
[03:55] <frewsxcv> 12.04
[03:55] <frewsxcv> i can drag programs from the unity search
[03:55] <frewsxcv> not executables though
[03:55] <tf2ftw> you should be able to drag icons into the dock
[03:55] <frewsxcv> any icons?
[03:55] <tf2ftw> not sure, im not running unity right now
[03:56] <frewsxcv> you'd think they'd make an easy way to add stuff to panel
[03:56] <tf2ftw> you'd think a lot of things...
[03:57] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: i doubt they allow arbitrary executables to be added
[03:57] <frewsxcv> which is unfortunate

[04:00] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: So basically there's no userfriendly way

[04:02] <tf2ftw> that is the fun

[04:06] <Mikeulus> I have been attempting to set up Thunderbird from a default install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS Desktop. Attempting to click on the inbox gives:
[04:06] <Mikeulus> The current operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account blah@gmail.com responded: System error(Failure)
[04:06] <Mikeulus> I've also changed the servers to imap.gmail.com from imap.googlemail.com, but to no avail. I see my folders, but I can't see inside them. I've also enabled smtp, pop, and imap from the google account settings side from within the web client.
[04:06] <Mikeulus> Any ideas?

[04:07] <paulus68> is there a program in linux that can check if a file is UTF8 and if not shows the lines where the "invalid" characters are mentioned?
[04:08] <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 access gmail through my college email, I can give you what I have, never used thunderbird directly, just through the college system.
[04:08] <MellowasJellow_> g
[04:09] <tf2ftw> paulus68, maybe a vim plugin for that???
[04:09] <Mikeulus> Sure, that may work. Though I have been using the settings gmail lists if that helps.
[04:09] <Ormie> Hello
[04:10] <paulus68> tf2ftw: I will check it out thx

[04:10] <wilee-nilee> Mikeulus, server name imap.googlemail.com  port 993
[04:10] <tf2ftw> Mikeulus, you might want to reinstall thunderbird. you shouldnt have issues setting up gmali
[04:10] <Mikeulus> interesting. Yes, that's what I had at first.

[04:12] <Mikeulus> hmm. yes this is what it originally set up. I'm going to attempt a quick reinstall...
[04:13] <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.
[04:14] <Mikeulus> are you on 12.04?
[04:14] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: The problem is there really is no interface as user friendly as explorer.exe

[04:15] <frewsxcv> tf2ftw: MATE comes close, but really, they all have prety big downsides
[04:15] <B0073D> Anyone good with modems here?
[04:16] <tf2ftw> modems dont bother me
[04:16] <davidrsmorris> Hey, I have a livecd problem.  I have a known good 32bit livecd and when I try to run it on a dell latitude d820 I get Kernel Panic -- not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[04:16] <B0073D> Specifically GPS from modems hehehe
[04:16] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, its a hdd problem
[04:17] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: When I'm running a known good livecd?  Does that mean I should try booting off an external cd drive?
[04:17] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, ive seen that issue with hackintosh systems
[04:17] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, cannot load hdd hardware info
[04:18] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, if you can, try another sata port, or another hd
[04:18] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: as in, the VFS it's trying to create in memory, right?
[04:18] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, as in, it cant access the hardware
[04:19] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: so if I disconnect the hdd, it should boot fine?  It looks like it's having trouble making the vfs in memory.
[04:20] <flosseveryday> Is there anyone I can replace Windows Boot Manager with the BURG bootloader?
[04:20] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: or are you saying it can't access the vfs image on the disk?
[04:20] <wilee-nilee> flosseveryday, you have a linux install?
[04:20] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, how old is your hardware?
[04:23] <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.
[04:25] <Mikeulus> would I have to revert to an earlier version of thunderbird to get it connected up to gmail? 13 maybe
[04:26] <namoamitabuddha> Why my real time length of an mp3 differs from the time length shown?
[04:29] <yashwant> Hi i have installed ubuntu ultimate 3.4 any body help me how to change appearence of window, inside ultimate there is ubuntu 12.2 is using
[04:29] <xangua> !ultimate | yashwant
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> Oh, #Windows.
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> You're annoyed so easily.
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> I've been entirely serious, and have been accused of trolling and banthreatened so many times.
[04:32] <namoamitabuddha> What windows?
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> For asking a legimate question.
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> I'm running Win7 on my desktop.
[04:32] <TrollingForSoup> But I'm talking about the IRC channel.
[04:33] <yashwant> ubottu:preferences set up is totally different from the previous linux, there is no any grafical option for creating new users.
[04:33] <namoamitabuddha> I don't know what you are talking about.
[04:34] <Mikeulus> interesting.. I'm still getting The current operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account blah@gmail.com responded: System error(Failure)" after a reinstall of thunderbird. when trying to connect to gmail imap.
[04:34] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: hello?  Is that spectacularly old?
[04:34] <lilred> hey guys, I have the weirdest problem trying to install Ubuntu
[04:34] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: I thought as long as I had a gig of memory the new livecds would work?
[04:34] <lilred> basically, my live USB isn't recognized
[04:34] <lilred> I put it as the sole booting option in bios and I just get "insert boot media"
[04:35] <tf2ftw> davidrsmorris, its a hard drive issue
[04:35] <tf2ftw> not a memmory
[04:35] <flosseveryday> wilee-nilee - I have a dual-boot windows 7/ubuntu 12.04 setup
[04:35] <tf2ftw> memory
[04:36] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: since it's live, it won't touch the hard drive unless I want it to.  So it's either memory or disk...
[04:37] <tf2ftw> its probing your hardware
[04:37] <wilee-nilee> flosseveryday, did you install ubuntu from windows?
[04:37] <tf2ftw> try removing the hard drive
[04:37] <namoamitabuddha> How to fix the time length
[04:38] <agentgasmask> !mint
[04:38] <davidrsmorris> tf2ftw: Ok, thanks.
[04:38] <flosseveryday> wilee-nilee yes, I used the windows installer
[04:39] <wilee-nilee> flosseveryday, then you can't change the bootloader.
[04:39] <flosseveryday> what?? noo! why not?
[04:39] <agentgasmask> yashwant: checkout adduser on the command line. It's realy not as bad as it looks. Just man adduser and follow the syntax on the top.
[04:40] <flosseveryday> wilee-nilee why not?
[04:41] <wilee-nilee> flosseveryday, ubuntu is a file in windows it is not a dual boot it is a wubi it was designed to be booted with the windows bootloader.
[04:41] <dikim33> can anyone help me to source /etc/profile on my csh or tcsh login?
[04:43] <namoamitabuddha> vbrfix
[04:43] <flosseveryday> wilee-nilee :(
[04:45] <jaxdahl> any chance windows 8 rt will run on the rpi?
[04:45] <wilee-nilee> flosseveryday, here is a wubi wiki if you need more info. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide/#What_is_Wubi.3F

[04:46] <psycose> hello, I am building a gcc-4.7 cross compiler for SH3 target, I got an error "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/crt1.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format" see line 100 in http://pastebin.com/7Gueha5G Any tips on how to solve this issue ?
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> psycode:maybe this can help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cross-compiling-glibmm-2-4-need-help-823822/
[04:51] <zack6849> hey guys
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <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
[04:54] <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] <psycose> thanks lotuspsychje
[04:54] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: fdisk -l
[04:54] <zack6849> lemme go try the live cd, after making sure i have the right one
[04:54] <L3top> zack6849: sudo fdisk -l
[04:54] <zack6849> where woudl u input that?
[04:55] <zack6849> i dont have anything up
[04:55] <zack6849> cant type
[04:55] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: LiveCD
[04:55] <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?
[04:56] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: You have no?
[04:56] <luminousq> i used to have an IRC account
[04:56] <luminousq> haven't been on it in months
[04:56] <KatsumeBlisk> namoamitabuddha: I assume desktop if he was partitioning and it doesn't sound like he was using a CLI one.
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <zack6849> installl with windows
[04:57] <zack6849> and advaned
[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] <FloodBot1> zack6849: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:57] <zack6849> im fairly sure i did
[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
[04:58] <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?
[04:59] <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?
[05:00] <zack6849> not within the installer
[05:00] <zack6849> i can do anything at the moment
[05:00] <zack6849> i need to check which cd is the livecd
[05:00] <zack6849> an my laptops disk drive won open
[05:00] <zack6849> -_-
[05:00] <StahlGrau> you don't have a usb?
[05:00] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: Desktop CD is OK.
[05:00] <KatsumeBlisk> zack6849: Is this on your laptop?
[05:00] <zack6849> no
[05:00] <zack6849> my desktop
[05:00] <zack6849> im on my laptop at the moment though
[05:00] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: The one named after "LiveCD" is not necessary.
[05:01] <not_patrick> the movie player doesn't show up in alt+Tab
[05:01] <zack6849> i bured about 4 diff cds
[05:01] <KatsumeBlisk> zack6849: If your desktop can boot from USB, you could do that if you can't find the disc.
[05:01] <zack6849> 3 were win repair disks
[05:01] <zack6849> thats true
[05:01] <zack6849> but t dl takes forever
[05:01] <not_patrick> what's going on here?
[05:01] <StahlGrau> usb is way easier these days
[05:01] <zack6849> *the
[05:01] <StahlGrau> helping a dude with an install
[05:01] <StahlGrau> dude/chick whatev
[05:01] <StahlGrau> I assume dude
[05:01] <zack6849> i dun brokded mah wandows :/
[05:02] <zack6849> yeah, im a guy
[05:02] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: Are you familiar with Linux commands?
[05:02] <zack6849> not particularly
[05:02] <zack6849> i knew sudo apt get
[05:02] <StahlGrau> well there are no women on the internet
[05:02] <zack6849> thats about it
[05:02] <zack6849> ^
[05:02] <zack6849> those are the rules bub
[05:02] <zack6849> no women
[05:02] <StahlGrau> so you're trying to boot a live cd and get some files?
[05:02] <FloodBot1> zack6849: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:02] <zack6849> i need to get the livecd first
[05:02] <L3top> zack6849: Until we get you booted into a live cd... dont assume everything is squashed.
[05:02] <zack6849> i burned it earlier
[05:03] <zack6849> dound it
[05:03] <zack6849> gonna go see if it boots
[05:03] <zack6849> brb
[05:03] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: Have you any installation CD now?
[05:03] <KatsumeBlisk> namoamitabuddha: Based on his "brb", he left to find it.
[05:03] <L3top> !enter | zack6849 please stop hitting enter like it spits out money. There are 1500 people in here... if we all did that it would be unusable.
[05:04] <zack6849> sorry
[05:04] <zack6849> what if i were to say ev after telling my pc to boot from a live cd i still get the blinking cursor of doom?
[05:04] <KatsumeBlisk> zack6849: Did you try this or is this hypothetical?
[05:05] <zack6849> i tried it
[05:05] <zack6849> :(
[05:05] <namoamitabuddha> KatsumeBlisk: Sorry, my English is bad.
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | zack6849
[05:05] <StahlGrau> just wait
[05:05] <KatsumeBlisk> namoamitabuddha: No problem. I'm just informing you. :) I appreciate you helping him with me.
[05:06] <StahlGrau> How old is this desktop?
[05:06] <zack6849> well, where would i input said options
[05:06] <zack6849> its pretty much brand new
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> zack6849, if you are getting the cd booted and from the try ubuntu gui you get a blinking cursor check out the bots link on nomodeset.
[05:06] <zack6849> its been updated constantly
[05:06] <namoamitabuddha> KatsumeBlisk: It seems that he persist on getting one called "LiveCD".
[05:06] <zack6849> i did
[05:06] <zack6849> how would i manage to change any of said settings if i cant even boot?
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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_
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <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.
[05:13] <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.
[05:14] <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.
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <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.
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <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.
[05:21] <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...
[05:22] <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 :/
[05:23] <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 :)
[05:24] <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 >_>
[05:25] <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?
[05:26] <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.
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <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
[05:29] <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
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <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. :)
[05:32] <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.
[05:33] <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?
[05:34] <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.
[05:35] <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......
[05:36] <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.
[05:37] <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....
[05:38] <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.
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> probably works, never tried it. icequeen
[05:40] <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?
[05:41] <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
[05:43] <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?
[05:44] <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?
[05:45] <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?
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <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.
[05:48] <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?
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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> .............
[05:51] <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?
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <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
[05:54] <KatsumeBlisk> And that's the last I'm talking about my habits with flash. Not really on topic. ;)
[05:54] <zack6849> k
[05:55] <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
[05:56] <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.
[05:57] <RAsputtin> how can i see bluetooth devices ?
[05:58] <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 ?
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <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
[06:01] <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
[06:02] <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.
[06:03] <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
[06:04] <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.
[06:05] <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.
[06:06] <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.
[06:07] <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
[06:08] <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
[06:09] <ajnr> while copying it shows permission denied
[06:09] <zack6849> disk select screen :https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49928817/troubleshoot/IMG_20120809_020440.jpg
[06:09] <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.
[06:10] <zack6849> after i select a boot device it just shows this
[06:10] <zack6849> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49928817/troubleshoot/IMG_20120809_020623.jpg
[06:10] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: Could you change a website?
[06:10] <zack6849> upload to tinypic or something?
[06:10] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: sucha s imagebin.org
[06:10] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: such as*
[06:10] <namoamitabuddha> zack6849: dropbox is unaccessible here.
[06:10] <zack6849> might i ask why? i dont mind but its a bit of a hassle to upload them again
[06:10] <zack6849> aww
[06:10] <zack6849> alright
[06:11] <KatsumeBlisk> namoamitabuddha: What country are you in anyway?
[06:11] <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,while copying it shows permission deniedhow to make my data backup through command line !
[06:12] <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
[06:13] <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
[06:14] <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 "/"
[06:15] <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:
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <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?
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <icequeen> wilee-nilee aw sweet, what's the command?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> !backup
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> ajnr:try this
[06:19] <icequeen> wilee-nilee ok, still useful
[06:19] <crimsonmane> zack6849: so you cannot get to the main window where you select boot in compatibility mode, etc?
[06:20] <ajnr> lotuspsychje, dint get !
[06:20] <zack6849> i dont see anyting at all except for the cursor
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> read the trigger !backup
[06:20] <KatsumeBlisk> !backup | ajnr
[06:21] <crimsonmane> zack6849: it's possible your usb install is corrupted. did you do an md5sum to make sure the download was correct, and another md5sum to make sure the liveusb was correct?
[06:21] <reuf> nobody knows nothing in this channel
[06:21] <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?
[06:21] <KatsumeBlisk> crimsonmane: It's fine. This happens with a CD too.
[06:21] <wilee-nilee> icequeen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1137482/
[06:21] <KatsumeBlisk> crimsonmane: It's the hardware.
[06:21] <crimsonmane> ok
[06:22] <KatsumeBlisk> crimsonmane: Just trying to fill you in. :)
[06:22] <crimsonmane> zack6849: have you been inside the bios to make sure secure-boot is turned off?
[06:22] <namoamitabuddha> AFIRC
[06:22] <NuSuey> hi guys.. anybody knows why .. whenever i want to fullscreen a game (i have two monitors) it wants (and will) to clone game on both monitors..
[06:22] <wilee-nilee> icequeen, you ned to have any extra repos installed to get the packages from there if yhou have any. I'm going to crash shortly as well.
[06:24] <KatsumeBlisk> zack6849: I need sleep, so I won't be able to help anymore. I really hope you get this fixed. I'm disappointed when I can't help. :(
[06:24] <pratz> can i traceroute smtp ?
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr
[06:24] <KatsumeBlisk> lotuspsychje: You can pipe those commands to the person so that they get a ping about it instead of you hoping they see it.
[06:24] <icequeen> wilnee-nilee repos? packages?
[06:25] <psycose> lotuspsychje, the issue still occur :-/
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> KatsumeBlisk: i know mate
[06:25] <wilee-nilee> icequeen, If you added any extra repo's is what I'm talking about if you did not then disregard that.
[06:26] <wilee-nilee> linux and ubuntu allows you to ad repos.
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> psycose: reask your question here in channel once in a while
[06:27] <wilee-nilee> icequeen, I have to crash best of luck.;)
[06:28] <icequeen> wilee-nilee thanks you so much, your help has been extraordinary
[06:28] <icequeen> wilee-nilee may the blessings of Osiris, Ptah, Bast, Ra, and Amon be upon you
[06:30] <crimsonmane> icequeen: what about Oden?
[06:31] <icequeen> yeah, and Thor, and Loki (why not)
[06:31] <ajnr> Using linux live dvd I want to backup my data from dead ubuntu !

[06:33] <crimsonmane> ajnr: how come you dont read those links?
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> ajnr: for a new ubuntu install you can choose to keep your data aswell..
[06:44] <pseudonymous> I'm having a problem where ibus+anthy (Japanese typing support) doesn't seem to work anymore. I tried making a new user account in which it works just as expected. Is there a way to completely nuke the ibus+anthy/ibus-daemon settings such that I can get this runnign again ?

[07:58] <isbric> Hi, i need to set env $HOST to whatever the user used to ssh to a host, is this posible?
[07:59] <isbric> ex: ssh joe@servicename.domain.tld "echo $HOST" shuld return servicename.domain.tld
[08:00] <PapaSierra> morning, i'd like to make a script that add a user with a USERNAME and PASSWORD as variables and also to give that user the ability to sudo. how do i do this as a script (no shell interaction allowed)
[08:00] <PapaSierra> isbric isn't that the same is "$ ssh joe@servicename.domain.tld hostname"?
[08:01] <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
[08:03] <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
[08:04] <ferni> PapaSierra: you could use something like "expect" or generate the password hash from script and update the users /etc/shadow entry
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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
[08:07] <crimsonmane> PapaSierra: there's adduser and useradd... type "man adduser"
[08:07] <crimsonmane> one works better than the other
[08:08] <PapaSierra> well adduser is the high level version of useradd. useradd is linux, adduser is ubuntu's "helper"
[08:08] <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?
[08:08] <crimsonmane> actually it's debian's, not ubuntu's
[08:08] <ferni> PapaSierra: oh you can also use usermod to set password
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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.
[08:11] <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] <dileep> uninstall wine case
[08:13] <crimsonmane> PapaSierra: nope...
[08:13] <crimsonmane> PapaSierra: that's why i use the other one
[08:13] <PapaSierra> ;)
[08:13] <crimsonmane> but i go through the steps and fill in the info
[08:17] <option> hi there
[08:18] <chuck> oi
[08:19] <geirha> PapaSierra: Have a look at newusers(8)
[08:20] <chuck> ;)
[08:20] <option> fuck
[08:23] <mjt> hello. should grub show its presence somehow when booting 12.04 desktop?
[08:23] <chuck> mjt: not always
[08:24] <chuck> mjt: usually before the purple screen, it may say "Loading Grub"
[08:24] <chuck> mjt: then go away
[08:24] <redbox> could someone help me in shares folders from linux with windows 7 ???
[08:25] <chuck> redbox: i have always been able to see folders from windows in linux..but never folders in linux from windows. I dont think windows understands the filesystem
[08:25] <mjt> hm. so how to enter boot menu?
[08:25] <mjt> shift. i see
[08:25] <mjt> (in /boot/grub/grub.cfg)
[08:26] <chuck> mjt: yup..that lets you select which kernel you want to boot into
[08:26] <redbox> chuck i shares my folders in linux but i can access it in windows 7
[08:26] <redbox> can u help me
[08:26] <crimsonmane> redbox: you need Samba
[08:26] <chuck> redbox: i dont have any experience with windows
[08:27] <chuck> redbox: i have used it maybe for a short time..but not for anything like that
[08:27] <crimsonmane> SambaShare
[08:27] <crimsonmane> Samba
[08:28] <vivid> why is it the boot-up splash screen never works? and how do i disable it.  id rather have an old school text boot than a purple screen of waiting
[08:29] <redbox> i already install it .is running but i can access it in windows.something like server error
[08:29] <crimsonmane> redbox: you're going to have to be a better assistant if you want any help
[08:30] <chuck> vivid: i think you can edit that. it maybe part of the init
[08:30] <vivid> well, does it work for anyone?
[08:31] <j`ey_w> hi guys, can I install 32bit boost on my 64bit machine?
[08:32] <chuck> vivid: i use peppermint OS three. all i know is that after i installed my video drivers, my peppermint loading screen turned into a black screen
[08:32] <Anomie211> How do I update to the latest php on Ubuntu 11.10? I'm getting 'E: Broken Package' when following this guide -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/108929/easiest-way-to-upgrade-php-to-latest-version-on-11-10
[08:32] <chuck> vivid: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/
[08:32] <vivid> chuck:.: so you think it only works with the shittay open drivers?
[08:33] <chuck> vivid: no idea.
[08:33] <redbox> crimsonmane : i try 2 share folder from ubuntu to windows 7 from my local network
[08:33] <chuck> vivid: maybe from what they mention in that link i sent you, you could do something to remove it
[08:34] <AdvoWork> Hi there. i'm having a problem with some mounts on my servers. I'm moving files to a folder /mnt/documents on (server1) this works fine as it is, but the thing is, /mnt/documents is supposed to be a mounted share that i've done in /etc/fstab. When i do sudo mount -a this works too(it mounts and I can see the shared files). The problem is, as soon as I mount it, I get a permission denied problem and can no longer move files to /mnt/documents. I'v
[08:34] <AdvoWork> e done various tests, i've chown'ed things such as ftp:ftp, ftp:wheel, root:root, i've set to 777 as a test. same problem. I'm mounting via: //192.168.0.2/new_documents /mnt/documents cifs exec,credentials=/home/credentials. Any ideas please?
[08:35] <almin> mates, has anyone solved ubuntu random logout problem:)
[08:35] <chuck> almin: never had that problem.
[08:35] <almin> i have seen on forum that many users are complaining
[08:36] <almin> i have that problem since i have upgraded to 12.04 lts
[08:36] <almin> it just do logout randomly
[08:37] <chuck> almin: nvidia graphics drivers?
[08:37] <chuck> almin: alot of people are experiencing this with nvidia drivers
[08:37] <almin> yes
[08:37] <chuck> almin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/980519
[08:38] <almin> thank u Chuck
[08:38] <almin> im going to read it
[08:41] <eltigre> hey, I normally use an ubuntu desktop, and I'd now like to install Ubuntu on a  new netbook I got, that currently only has windows 7. I also can't access the network with the netbook yet because I would have to run the connection through the desktop pc.... what would be the best way to proceed?
[08:42] <eltigre> btw the netbook does not have a cdrom
[08:42] <eltigre> or dvdrom drive
[08:42] <wdp> eltigre, then you're left with usb install, or disassembling the sata harddrive and putting it into another computer.
[08:42] <eltigre> ah ok
[08:43] <mjt> how to disable starting up X, and only run text-mode gettys (12.04) ?
[08:43] <wdp> eltigre, pretty sure that the usb variant is easier than network install if you aren't experienced
[08:44] <jalexandru> how can I save a specific zoom level for terminal? using ubuntu 12.04?
[08:44] <mjt> aha. /etc/init/lightdm.cfg
[08:45] <ThinkT510> !text | mjt
[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 ;)
[08:46] <TJ-> mjt: Press Shift key to get GRUB2 menu as soon as BIOS screens are done
[08:46] <mjt> i'm debugging this very issue TJ- -- shift does not work
[08:46] <Snakepit> ...
[08:46] <TJ-> mjt: I've had it where I'm not pressing it at the right point ... no good holding it down on some systems; you need to rapidly repeatedly press it
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <mjt> i installed ubuntu _just_ to debug this issue, since they give me ubuntu as a reproducer for the bug in question
[08:48] <TJ-> mjt: what's the VM? qemu-kvm ?
[08:48] <mjt> yes qemu-kvm
[08:48] <TJ-> mjt: And its a fresh install into the VM?
[08:48] <mjt> yes
[08:48] <mjt> my first ubuntu install ever :)
[08:49] <TJ-> Does the VM window have the input focus at the time you hit the key?
[08:50] <mjt> yes
[08:50] <mjt> it isn't that siple TJ- :)
[08:50] <TJ-> mjt: 12.04 install... which arch? i386 or amd64 ?
[08:50] <mjt> .ignore XiRoN
[08:50] <mjt> i386
[08:50] <j`ey_w> how can I found out where apt-get installed libboost?
[08:51] <mjt> where?
[08:51] <mjt> dpkg -L <packagename> will show you list of files of that package
[08:51] <j`ey_w> thanks
[08:52] <j`ey_w> hm
[08:52] <j`ey_w> http://pastebin.com/7mkMWY2D
[08:52] <j`ey_w> doesnt seem right
[08:53] <mjt> it does
[08:53] <mjt> dpkg -s liboost-all-dev will show you description of this package
[08:53] <TJ-> mjt: what's the complete qemu command line you're using to launch the VM? I'll see if I can reproduce it
[08:54] <mjt> TJ-: it is in-kernel irqchip iteraction issue with qemu-kvm v1.1
[08:55] <TJ-> mjt: Ubuntu uses v1.0 in 12.04
[08:55] <mjt> i know
[08:55] <mjt> fwiw, i'm qemu and qemu-kvm maintainer in debian
[08:56] <mjt> and 1.0 does not have this bug
[08:57] <TJ-> mjt:  I did some hacking on qemu-kvm upstream a while back to add USB 2 support; I'll dust off my dusty brain cells!
[08:57] <mjt> :)
[08:57] <TJ-> mjt: do you have a bug reference I can work from?
[08:57] <mjt> http://bugs.debian.org/683096
[08:57] <mjt> heh
[08:58] <TJ-> mjt: Also, which kernel version is it being run on? 3.2 is what's in 12.04
[08:58] <j`ey_w> im doing `ldd program` and getting libboost_iostreams.so.2 => not found
[08:58] <j`ey_w> Im on ubuntu 10.04, anyone know the problem here?
[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.
[08:59] <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.
[09:00] <mjt> and it does not load any framebuffer modules (so apparently it is all built-in)
[09:01] <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...
[09:02] <TJ-> mjt: remove "quiet splash" and add "debug" and optionally "single" for single-user root mode
[09:03] <mjt> no difference: still entering graphics mode and clearing screen
[09:04] <j`ey_w> is there a way to install 32bit boost libs?
[09:06] <Anomie211> Something is up with my apt-get I can't install anything? I've tried sudo apt-get update but it produces a bunch of errors -- http://pastebin.com/y7HM0u2p
[09:06] <mjt> heh. and when enabling serial console, the original problem goes away... :)
[09:07] <johnwerneken> just setting up back tomorrow
[09:08] <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" ?
[09:09] <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
[09:11] <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.
[09:12] <TJ-> mjt: And, from what you said, if you have the console enabled, shift also works when irqchip isn't disabled
[09:13] <mjt> TJ-: yes, with serial console (console=ttyS0 console=tty1) the menu works.
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <mahesh> how can i check a disk for file system errors, i have 2 bad sectors
[09:17] <ThinkT510> !fsck | mahesh
[09:18] <mjt> ThinkT510: this is fsck, and there's also badblocks -- probably more appropriate
[09:19] <mahesh> i want to check ntfs file systems
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | mahesh
[09:19] <Anomie211> Something is up with my apt-get I can't install anything? I've tried sudo apt-get update but it produces a bunch of errors -- http://pastebin.com/y7HM0u2p
[09:19] <mahesh> is fsck ok with ntfs
[09:20] <ThinkT510> mahesh: no, you'd need to use chkdsk from windows
[09:20] <AdvoWork> I have a mount in /etc/fstab: //192.168.0.207/new_documents /mnt/documents cifs exec,credentials=/home/credentials and im trying to use it to move files, which fails. is it mounting as read only or something, is there a way I can test?
[09:21] <mahesh> ThinkT510: i dont have windows installed
[09:21] <lotuspsychje> AdvoWork: is it ntfs partition?
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> test if its read only? cd to /mnt/documents and try to make a file. 'touch testfile'
[09:22] <tking> pls can some1 tell me how to solve problem with screenshot? when i hit the screenshot button, my screen bcomes blank in white, not allowing me to see what to save and any part. sometimes it goes blank for 1 minuthes and some times i cant wait cos it takes over 5mins and i hv to reboot
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  could be the share is getting connected to as the wrong user, or guest also. so is becoming read only.
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> Dr_willis: remember my flash problem? i had to install ubuntu-restricted-extras for it to work
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> lotuspsychje:  nope. dont rember at all.
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> lol
[09:22] <AdvoWork> lotuspsychje, yeah afaik, its a mount on a freenas server.
[09:22] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, cd /mnt/documents su www-data $ touch testing.txt touch: cannot touch `testing.txt': Permission denied
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> I alwyas install U-R-E as one of the first things. anyway.
[09:23] <code0ps> I'm about to try Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat.  64bit AMD DVD.  Any hints, suggestions, dislikes?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  www-data? Your web server files are on a remote samba share?
[09:23] <lotuspsychje> code0ps:why not try latest ubuntu?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  can the other user write to it?  does ls -l /mnt/ show who is owning the documents dir?
[09:24] <code0ps> My interest is in Commodore's version of the OS for the new C64x.
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> !10.10
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <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.
[09:26] <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] <Dr_Willis> lotuspsychje:  vice
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> !info vice
[09:26] <code0ps> The bare bones is around $300US current.
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> cool
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> Dr_willis:you also know what formats the roms are?
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> My Cell Phone can run VICE these days. ;)
[09:28] <code0ps> I used to have one, and if the bare bones just ran a handful of programs, I still think I would be happy.
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> off to work.. bbl.
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> Dr_willis: your cell is ubuntu based?
[09:28] <mahesh> how can i check ntfs file system from linux
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> lotuspsychje:  vice has been ported to android and dozens of other platforms.
[09:28] <TJ-> mjt: Yes of course.. my thoughts having now spent 5 minutes tracing the call paths is, it looks as if code registers for using it the first time it needs it using kvm_irqchip_add_irq_notifier() ... ondemand as it were. Still figuring it out though
[09:28] <yousafse> Hi everyone, I have got a dedicated server, I want to setup ubuntu 12 on it. I don't know much about security, are there any automated ways of hardening a ubuntu box?
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> !server | yousafse
[09:29] <PapaSierra> i'm using a capistrano deploy script to deploy a web app. from my vm i can ssh my server use rsa key auth. my bitbucket account has my vm's key file. my vm is set up for agent forwarding for the server's ip address. what's missing? i'm getting "Host key verification failed.", "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
[09:29] <Richard_Cavell> code0ps: can it execute 6502 machine language?
[09:29] <lotuspsychje> !security | yousafse
[09:30] <code0ps> We've got some serious DNS DoS attacks going on in my locale.  I just got bumped off my DL of Ubuntu.  Need to perform maintainance.  Thanx for the help.
[09:30] <yousafse> Is this the right thing to do? http://www.thefanclub.co.za/node/52
[09:31] <lotuspsychje> yousafse:looks like a nice site to me
[09:31] <lotuspsychje> yousafse: i would also pentest your own server services too
[09:31] <Fuchs> the right thing to do would be understanding what happens there and doing it manually, fitted to your servers purpose
[09:31] <yousafse> lotuspysychje what about the security solution it suggests for ubuntu
[09:31] <Fuchs> in my opinion it is vital to understand security basics when operating a server, not using automated tools or scripts.
[09:32] <lotuspsychje> yousafse: you have to go beyond and think like an attacker
[09:32] <yousafse> Fuchs, I agree but I am very new to linux and I can't find someone who could secure the box properly for me
[09:32] <Fuchs> but looking at the list of what it does: sounds sane
[09:32] <lotuspsychje> !info snort | yousafse
[09:32] <Fuchs> yousafse: and you need that server that urgent so you don't have the time to read about the things it does? I really recommend you do.
[09:33] <B0073D> Is there a linux channel other than #linux? Struggling to get any help.
[09:33] <lotuspsychje> B0073D:this is ubuntu problems in here
[09:33] <mjt> TJ-: i've lost my reproducer.  After a few reboots (bisecting), I can't repeat the "no menu" issue anymore even with original command line and executable.  A phantom bug.
[09:33] <Fuchs> B0073D:  you can search with alis, see /msg alis help list.  What do you need help with, specifically?
[09:33] <B0073D> lotuspsychje, Well, im on ubuntu
[09:33] <AdvoWork> lotuspsychje, don't suppose you have any suggestions?
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> !ask | B0073D
[09:34] <TJ-> mjt: Could it be a bug in the host interface then... uninitialised data maybe?
[09:34] <B0073D> Fuchs, cu command/gps help. I'm struggling to understand something
[09:34] <Guest35863> het, I have proxy in my college with password having a special char @. So can any one help me on how can I make apt know that the first @ is part of the password . I am using export http_proxy="http://mahe\\ict.stundent:mumit\@123@172.16.19.10:80/"
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> AdvoWork:did you install ntfs 3g?
[09:35] <yousafse> Fuchs, I need to get the server up and running with in the next 12 hours. I understand that is not enough time to learn all the stuff, however since I will be maintaining it in the long run, i will be looking into linux administration thoroughly. For now, I need a solution.
[09:35] <B0073D> Im passing some commands to the gps unit with cu. But once I do that I cant access the device with anything untill I kill cu. But then the modem stops sending the gps data.
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> !info nmap | yousafse
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> yousafse: after setting up the server nmap your server ip
[09:36] <yousafse> I am more than happy to hire someone to do this for me, but I don't know anyone.
[09:36] <mjt> TJ-: yeah, might very well be.  I just managed to reproduce it 3 more times, and it started working again.
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> yousafse:just follow the ubuntu server guide, will help you alot
[09:36] <B0073D> What's supposed to happen (apparently) is I send the commands via cu, then point gpsd at the device (in this case /dev/ttyACM2) but the device is 'in use'
[09:37] <lotuspsychje> !ntfs | AdvoWork
[09:37] <TJ-> mjt: I've found a Linux commit from March that might be a bug-fix of this issue. Can you try it on a Linux 3.5 host?

[09:38] <TJ-> mjt: commit 3e515705a1f4
[09:38] <samcoldham1> I Recently bought a server and wondered if i should run with ubuntu how hard it is to set up because im not that good with ubuntu yet or servers so how hard is it to do and is it worth doing im looking to create a website

[09:40] <lucid> What is the best distro for an old laptop with 512mb ram
[09:40] <yousafse> Lotuspsychje, based on your experience how long does it take to do the following, secure the box and install latest version of PHP, MySQL, Redis, Node, Bind. PHP needs to be compiled with CURL, PDO and MCRYPT on top of the norm.
[09:40] <lotuspsychje> !lubuntu | lucid
[09:40] <AdvoWork> lotuspsychje, ntfs-3g is already installed, does that mean my /etc/fstab needs changing? //192.168.0.207/new_documents /mnt/documents cifs exec,credentials=/home/credentials
[09:40] <lucid> lubuntu was too slow.
[09:40] <lotuspsychje> lucid:did you clean install lubuntu?
[09:41] <lucid> Although I originally had ubuntu, then installed Lub
[09:41] <lucid> nah
[09:41] <lucid> A clean install will be quicker?
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> lucid:makes a big difference
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> lucid: yes download original lubuntu iso and install clean
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> lucid: after that you can try even more lightweight desktops
[09:41] <TJ-> mjt: That may not be it... it looks as if we have that already, it was from a CVE  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971685

[09:42] <lotuspsychje> lucid:you can try both, it will tell you anyway

[09:47] <tesserakt> how come logfiles (Im thinking mainly of auth.log) don't contain the year in the timestamp? This makes it hard to parse the logfile and extract only changes since last parse, when the year changes.
[09:47] <heisenmink> I have 4 gb space on my zenbook, and an integrated graphics card. Should I stick to 32bit or do I gain anything from 64bit? Are there any problems with x64 linux nowadays?
[09:47] <B0073D> Last time I just blindly 777d it to get it working

[09:51] <akhilblue> would the ubuntu file systems be corrupted on mulitple direct power offs(without shutting down) due to power cuts? if so anyway to identify and correct the errors?
[09:51] <aHardyX> hi there. I am not able to boot into my 12.04 x64 system. LightDM fails to load and at virtual terminals it logs me in and then suddenly logs me out. What do I do?
[09:52] <jpds> akhilblue: That applies for any file system on any system.
[09:52] <jpds> akhilblue: Use the fsck and badblocks commands.
[09:53] <akhilblue> jpds: well i am not well versed with the syntaxes of those commands. how to use them?
[09:55] <Anomie211> Something is up with my apt-get I can't install anything? I've tried sudo apt-get update but it produces a bunch of errors -- http://pastebin.com/y7HM0u2p
[09:55] <akhilblue> jpds: also no apparent problems coming up, so is it necessary to use those commands?
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  those are Karmic errors, Karmic is an old version of ubuntu, no longer valid
[09:57] <Anomie211> MonkeyDust: I'm trying to install  update-manager-core so I can update to 12.04
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  what's the outcome of lsb-release -sd ?
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?

[09:57] <Anomie211> Ubuntu 9.10
[09:58] <Anomie211> I thought I was on 11.10 O.o
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  tyou can't upgrade directly from 9.10 to 12.04
[09:58] <coregraphicos> 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"
[09:58] <coregraphicos> any help me to configure make
[09:58] <jpds> akhilblue: While it might sound harsh: read the man page.
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  fresh install is the fastest and easiest, but don't forget to backup personal documents, music, letters etc
[09:59] <akhilblue> jpds: k
[09:59] <Anomie211> MonkeyDust: This is a server with 20+ sites hosted on it. I think upgrading 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 12.10 would be easier
[09:59] <B0073D> Ouch
[09:59] <jpds> akhilblue: Because, you need to know how to research new commands.
[10:00] <tesserakt> how can I command the syslog to log timestamps in ISO 8601 format? ie. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
[10:00] <B0073D> That sounds like thats fun
[10:00] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust: does install not let you choose also to keep data?
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  ok, didnot know how skilled you are, seems you know what you're doing, ok
[10:00] <jpds> tesserakt: Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf and go to the "enable high precision timestamps" section.
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  yes yes, but, repeat, i did not know the user's skills
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust:true
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> backup is always a good idea
[10:01] <coregraphicos> 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"
[10:01] <Anomie211> MonkeyDust: Not that skilled but I don't fancy moving 20 sites worth of MySQL db, etc over :(
[10:01] <tesserakt> jpds, cool thanks. will this break compatibility in some way? are there processes that parse logfiles and depend on some certain format?
[10:01] <coregraphicos> any one help me to configure make
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> coregraphicos:i think there's a programmer channel around here too
[10:01] <jpds> tesserakt: Possibly, only one way to find out!
[10:02] <Anomie211> I have automatic backups with my host (linode) so I can always restore if I mess up
[10:02] <jpds> tesserakt: Only you know what's parsing your log files, I've had no problems with mine.
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  now you know where the errors come from, that's a start
[10:02] <TJ-> coregraphicos: You need to add to CFLAGS "-std=c99" OR amend your source-code to declare the variable outside the for() statement
[10:02] <coregraphicos> where should i add TJ-
[10:03] <TJ-> coregraphicos: If the Makefile has an existing CFLAGS="..." declaration, add " -std=c99" to the end of it
[10:04] <coregraphicos> i dont have any make file
[10:04] <coregraphicos> TJ-
[10:04] <TJ-> coregraphicos: How are you using make then?
[10:04] <tesserakt> jpds: I ment if there is some system built in process that parses logfiles. I want to change just because Im setting up my own parser, and it is ridiculous to not use a machine friendly format for a log file, and especially not to log the year; problems around new year..
[10:04] <coregraphicos> i have installed make programme TJ- and then just using the command
[10:04] <jpds> tesserakt: No.
[10:05] <TJ-> coregraphicos: The source-code will have a Makefile ... that's what the 'make' command uses to find out how to build the program
[10:05] <bazhang> coregraphicos, got build-essential installed?
[10:05] <tesserakt> jpds: good good, thanks
[10:06] <coregraphicos> TJ- and i wrote a programme data.c and using command make data
[10:06] <coregraphicos> i think not yet  bazhang
[10:06] <bazhang> coregraphicos, then install it
[10:06] <coregraphicos> command for build-essentials pls bazhang
[10:07] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install build-essential coregraphicos
[10:07] <deepak> hi..
[10:08] <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
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <coregraphicos> TJ- and Bazhang it didnt work after installing build essential
[10:11] <TJ-> coregraphicos: I told you - create a Makefile
[10:12] <coregraphicos> where should i create
[10:12] <coregraphicos> TJ-
[10:13] <TJ-> coregraphicos: in the same directory as the source code
[10:13] <coregraphicos> TJ- where should i create
[10:15] <mjt> TJ-: I asked Avi for help ;)
[10:15] <j`ey_w> WHAT_DOWN: WHAT_UP
[10:15] <WHAT_DOWN> j`ey_w: o_o
[10:16] <j`ey_w> WHAT_DOWN: y_y
[10:16] <TJ-> mjt: Best idea - the code is complex!
[10:16] <mjt> heh. i know it is.. "twisted" :)
[10:16] <TJ-> mjt: I suspect it could be to do with the patches adding MSI support
[10:21] <Ristovski> hello, How can I set my DNS to google open dns?

[10:27] <code0ps> The C64x Supreme has the new Commodore OS: http://www.commodoreusa.net/cusa_os_vision.aspx   based on Ubuntu 10.10  Released in June, 2011.
[10:27] <code0ps> Anyone have one?
[10:28] <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?
[10:28] <MarcoFe> hi all
[10:28] <code0ps> Hate to be persistent, but does anyone have experience with Commodore OS Vision?
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> code0ps  ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:29] <code0ps> Thanx.
[10:30] <MarcoFe> so i've Huawei ideos connecting to usb port and with lsusb i see "Bus 002 Device 009: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem"...but when i disconnect it from usb port i see too...how to "umount" usb device? tnx so much
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> MarcoFe  basically, sudo umount /dev/blah
[10:32] <decaf> can you get firefox addons?
[10:33] <walent> Hi
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> decaf  in FF : Tools > Addons
[10:33] <MarcoFe> MonkeyDust: ok...but my usb device isn't a usb pen, but it's a mobile
[10:33] <walent> Weird, but ubuntu makes my wi-fi stop when downloading something
[10:33] <walent> stop working*
[10:33] <decaf> MonkeyDust: I can't find any addons I need there.
[10:34] <mjt> TJ-: forgot to ask.. did you try reproducing the grub menu issue?
[10:34] <IdleOne> decaf: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
[10:35] <Heinvdm> After connecting to a hotel wifi all the package information in "/var/lib/apt/lists" has been overwritten with a reply from the proxy, anyone seen this before ? (12.04 LTS)
[10:36] <mjt> Heinvdm: i suggest you to run fsck
[10:36] <decaf> a completion box is there, that's new
[10:36] <walent> Someone, help?
[10:37] <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.
[10:38] <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] <mjt> ah
[10:39] <Heinvdm> TJ: ouch, any way to recreate/correct ?
[10:39] <TJ-> Heinvdm: If you read the file you'll see the clues in the HTML where it's asking you to login
[10:39] <mjt> re-update after login
[10:39] <icequeen> Hi, I'm attempting to Migrate Wubi to a new partition, and I need to know what kind of file system to create for an Ubuntu partition
[10:39] <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?
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> icequeen  better is to start over, i guess, forget wubi
[10:41] <TJ-> mjt: a bug in apt :)
[10:42] <mjt> TJ-: mine wont do that, it says "some files weren't checked so old copies were used"
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <mjt> 0.9.7
[10:44] <mjt> i think previous (major) version didn't do that
[10:44] <TJ-> indeed! which is why Precise is affected ... I'm running 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.3~tj
[10:44] <mjt> ~tj! :)
[10:45] <mjt> from debian experimental. oh well. this was first version with good multiarch support.
[10:46] <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] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[10:48] <shogunri1k> l
[10:48] <Heinvdm> TJ-:mjt: Thank you, deleted everything from "/var/lib/apt/lists" and did an "apt-get update", seems to have recovered the situation
[10:49] <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?
[10:51] <shogunri1k> how do you turn on your computer
[10:52] <extrasolar> with a button
[10:52] <_skpl> talk dirty to it
[10:52] <shogunri1k> which one
[10:52] <Ca11um> Is it not possible to code a Qt application using Geany? I keep getting errors when including Qt header files
[10:52] <extrasolar> power button
[10:52] <WHAT_DOWN> if i have enough ram, is it possible to request that ubuntu load all system components into it at boot time and then work fast as heck afterwards?
[10:52] <icequeen> Also should I run GParted on Wubi to a partition should I run GParted using a LiveCD or on Wubi itself?
[10:53] <extrasolar> icequeen what is it you want to do?
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> icequeen  wubi is only pseudo, use gparted on the live cd
[10:53] <icequeen> Sorry extrasolar I typed that wrong. I am migrating Wubi to a partition
[10:53] <cfhowlett> WHAT_DOWN: theoretically yes, but that means a boatload of ram
[10:53] <icequeen> Gparted on the LiveCD okay
[10:54] <icequeen> thanks monkeydust
[10:54] <icequeen> oh! but
[10:54] <IdleOne> ext4
[10:54] <icequeen> which of these commands do I run? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi
[10:54] <WHAT_DOWN> cfhowlett: i have 16GB, but don't really need more than 8 for myself. i can't imagine ubuntu uses more than 8 on its own?
[10:54] <extrasolar> gparted has it's own live cd or you can use a ubuntu live cd
[10:54] <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?
[10:55] <cfhowlett> WHAT_DOWN: no, but consider what happens when you start using it, for instance, playing a video.  Certainly worth trying though.  I'd be interested to hear how it goes.
[10:55] <icequeen> I wanna use the first form, e.g. "sudo bash wubi-move-2.2.sh /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6" NOT the kind "To migrate from the root.disk when running from a live CD/USB" right?
[10:55] <icequeen> ^ extrasolar MonkeyDust
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> WHAT_DOWN: install an ssd harddrive aswell
[10:56] <WHAT_DOWN> lotuspsychje: have that :)
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> WHAT_DOWN:what brand and 64bit ubuntu?
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> icequeen  install ubuntu from the live cd on it's own partition, then see if you still want or need to migrate wubi -- i guess not
[10:56] <icequeen> I want to migrate Wubi for sure!
[10:57] <icequeen> What I am trying to do is migrate Wubi!
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> icequeen  great, but first install ubuntu
[10:57] <WHAT_DOWN> lotuspsychje: crucial m4, natty (sorry)
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> normally, that is
[10:57] <icequeen> why do I need to install ubuntu first?
[10:57] <lotuspsychje> WHAT_DOWN:how many seconds boot time?
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> icequeen  why do you want to migrate wubi?
[10:58] <WHAT_DOWN> lotuspsychje: pretty fast. about 9 or 10 after the grub screen
[10:58] <WHAT_DOWN> maybe less
[10:59] <lotuspsychje> WHAT_DOWN:precise boots up and shutdown even faster
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> pretty fast here
[10:59] <lotuspsychje> MonkeyDust:got ssd aswell? what brand?
[11:00] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  no, old laptop
[11:00] <WHAT_DOWN> lotuspsychje: maybe, but i've become so disheartened by ubuntu updates just making things worse i kind of gave up on them
[11:00] <icequeen> MonkeyDust - I have been using Wubi for a while, and now I want to migrate it to a partition so I can customize by bootloader, hibernate, and have more than 30 GB memory
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> WHAT_DOWN: a clean install precise is very recommended mate
[11:01] <shogunrisk> Do you guys have problems with ubuntu on a mac sometimes freezing then rebooting?
[11:02] <icequeen> extrasolar you still around?
[11:02] <cfhowlett> WHAT_DOWN: clean install.  don't be lazy.
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> shogunrisk: you got a bios option 'network boot'?
[11:02] <extrasolar> yep
[11:02] <shogunrisk> It is on a mac so can't access bios
[11:03] <nur> Hi, i used to have ubuntu 10.04 i guess, but i forgot my pass, so in windows 7 i have deleted the partition with ubuntu from diskmgmt.. Now i have made a bootable usb with Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS on it.. if i boot from usb ubuntu asks for login.. i tried ubuntu an pass blank, didnt work.. I tried to change pass but also didnt work. if i press enter it shows black screen for 1 sec and then asks for login again... Someone know what to do 
[11:03] <icequeen> extrasolar - do you know which version of the terminal script I'm supposed to run?
[11:03] <WHAT_DOWN> the biggest mistake canonical made was replacing the startup music breezy had :(
[11:03] <lotuspsychje> shogunrisk: netbook or desktop? any usefull errors in /var/log?
[11:04] <Anomie211> Just updated from 9.10 to 10.04. But in doing so I've broken my server. I've rebooted into safe mode to try the steps advised here:  http://library.linode.com/upgrading/upgrade-to-ubuntu-10.04-lucid but when I try and edit fstab I get the error  [ Error writing /media/xvda/etc/fstab: Read-only file system ] :/
[11:04] <shogunrisk> macbook
[11:04] <extrasolar> nur are you trying to install a fresh ubuntu installation?
[11:04] <nur> yes extrasolar
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> nur  for a start, a live session doenst ask for a login and pass, so something must be wrong there
[11:05] <nur> ye i know its strange
[11:05] <extrasolar> how did you put the ISO on the pen drive (brb, be 5 mins)
[11:05] <nur> i followed instruction from the ubuntu website so i used universal usb
[11:05] <lotuspsychje> shogunrisk:some notebooks, freeze up ubuntu when default Os whas something else, to solve set network boot to :ON in bios
[11:06] <shogunrisk> lotuspsychje, On a mac you can't access bios
[11:06] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: Mac's don't have a BIOS; they use EFI
[11:07] <lotuspsychje> ok
[11:07] <shogunrisk> okay, but how do you get to that
[11:07] <TJ-> shogunrisk: Could this be your issue? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Avoid_long_EFI_wait_before_GRUB
[11:08] <rdococ> hi
[11:08] <TJ-> shogunrisk: Or maybe this for 12.04? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntupreciseon2011imac#KNOW_ISSUES
[11:08] <anak1n> OH WOULD YA LOOK AT THAT
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> caps
[11:09] <extrasolar> nur so you booted to the disk drive right?
[11:09] <nur> yes
[11:10] <extrasolar> and when faced with the ubuntu desktop you pressed on install?
[11:10] <subz3r0> nur so?
[11:10] <subz3r0> lol
[11:10] <shogunrisk> TJ, thanks but don't see issue
[11:10] <extrasolar> it should be a live ubuntu iso
[11:10] <nur> first i pressed install,, didnt work i got error
[11:10] <extrasolar> what's the error?
[11:10] <nur> then i did run ubuntu from live usb
[11:10] <extrasolar> ok
[11:10] <nur> now it asks for a login :/
[11:11] <extrasolar> that's seem odd
[11:11] <extrasolar> graphical or terminal?
[11:12] <nur> graphical
[11:12] <nur> i used to change pass with sudo passwd
[11:12] <nur> in terminal
[11:12] <nur> changed it,, but login stil doesnt work..
[11:12] <lotuspsychje> shogunrisk:any logs with error on boot in /var/log?
[11:13] <TJ-> nur: can you switch to another tty using Ctrl+Alt+F1 ?
[11:14] <extrasolar> either way I don't think it matters
[11:14] <extrasolar> Here is what you should do
[11:14] <extrasolar> Download the universal pen drive installer from pendrivelinux.com
[11:14] <extrasolar> install the ubuntu iso
[11:14] <nur> i did it that way
[11:15] <extrasolar> boot up into the pen drive and go through the installation process, ubuntu provides an awesome way to organise your partitions
[11:15] <extrasolar> try again
[11:15] <extrasolar> if the same error appears come back
[11:16] <extrasolar> perhaps md5sum the iso image
[11:16] <burt7burt> what is the difference between firefly and ubuntu?
[11:17] <cfhowlett> extrasolar: ALWAYS md5sum the iso.
[11:17] <subz3r0> indeed cfhowlett
[11:17] <Longhorn> burt7burt, well according to distrowatch, it's Arch based and uses LXDE and Openbox while Ubuntu is Debian based and uses GNOME with Unity
[11:18] <blueyed> Is anybody using 12.04 on a MacBook Pro? It appears to require the "noapic" kernel boot argument. Might this be fixed in 12.04.1?
[11:18] <nur> i have put question on forum.
[11:18] <extrasolar> ok did you md5sum the iso, perhaps it was an odd download
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> !info winusb
[11:19] <extrasolar> have you tired a CD?
[11:19] <burt7burt> thanks Longhorn
[11:19] <extrasolar> or wubi?
[11:21] <nokari> will mate desktop be in the ubuntu repos anytime soon? if not, will installing it manually or from ppa make my computer explode and kill kittens?
[11:21] <sema>  МНЕ КТО НИБУДЬ ПОМОЖЕТ? ИЛИ РУССКИХ ЗДЕСЬ НЕТ?
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[11:21] <cfhowlett> !ru|sema
[11:22] <unless_> Hello folks!
[11:23] <Longhorn> nokari, will it be in the repos? don't know. but installing it from a ppa should do fine. i messed with it. it's kind of buggy but the ppa works fine. just follow the instructions here http://mate-desktop.org/install/#ubuntu
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> nokari  better ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:23] <nokari> k, thx Longhorn. #ubuntu+1 is for next release?
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> nokari  yes
[11:27] <unless_> How do I set desktop icon size please?
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> unless_  use myUnity
[11:28] <unless_> MonkeyDust, does it work on Lubuntu as well?
[11:28] <smartboyhw> Guys, how many Launchpad teams of Ubuntu can you list?
[11:28] <extrasolar> in lubuntu go into settings
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> unless_  i missed the lubuntu part in your question, must have misread
[11:29] <unless_> MonkeyDust, I haven't mentioned it, sorry.
[11:29] <extrasolar> unless_ preferences/lookandfeel/wiget tab"
[11:30] <extrasolar> there four types of fonts you can change in lubuntu
[11:30] <extrasolar> for desktop font right click on the desktop

[11:31] <MonkeyDust> !patience| smartboyhw
[11:31] <extrasolar> smartboyhw what support do you need?
[11:31] <extrasolar> it's not there.....? what version are you using?
[11:32] <shuerhaaken> hi all! What does Unity rely on for thumbnailing? I was looking for "org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1" service, but it isn't installed. Any hints?
[11:32] <unless_> extrasolar, I think it is 12.05, just downloaded it, should be the last one.
[11:32] <extrasolar> have you right clicked on the desktop?
[11:32] <extrasolar> and selected properties?
[11:33] <smartboyhw> How many Launchpad Ubuntu teams are on?
[11:34] <unless_> extrasolar, when I right click on desktop all I can see is Desktop Preferences
[11:34] <unless_> extrasolar, and it doesn't have anything concerning font
[11:34] <MonkeyDust> smartboyhw  did you have a support question?
[11:36] <extrasolar> Are you comfortable with config files?
[11:36] <epzil0n> can anyone help me to mount a share in my nas (ntfs) using the fstab file, i can access the share with nautilus and also in the terminal using smbclient //host/share?

[11:37] <savio> any help
[11:37] <extrasolar> because you can configure pcmanfm.conf and edit it to desktop_font="example font" "example size"
[11:37] <smv> is there a standard for btrfs subvolumes naming schema?
[11:37] <subz3r0> pon dsl provider? pon is the isp?
[11:37] <savio> no i use pppoeconf
[11:38] <subz3r0> savio, do you use a router to connect?
[11:38] <savio> no

[11:41] <savio> i vasted my day trying to finger it
[11:42] <unless_> extrasolar, I couldn't figure where to set font size on PCManFM file browser.
[11:43] <extrasolar> but did you do the desktop ok?
[11:43] <nokari> is there a way to make a bootable backup (on a second hard drive) of the currently running system, without booting into clonezilla or similar? something like carbon copy cloner (OS X)?
[11:43] <subz3r0> savio: try sudo pppoeconf and follow the steps
[11:44] <epzil0n> but as soon as i try various things in fstab there's only errors
[11:44] <savio> subz3r0:i try
[11:44] <savio> no help
[11:44] <pratz> hello guys
[11:44] <pratz> how to install this http://silvercoders.com/en/products/doctotext/ on ubuntu
[11:44] <pratz> i downloaded it
[11:44] <subz3r0> savio: also you should check the given IP's. if they are connect...
[11:45] <cfhowlett> pratz: greetings
[11:45] <pratz> but there is no ./configure file
[11:45] <pratz> any help ?
[11:45] <savio> subz3r0: what ip?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> pratz  try opening with LibreOffice and Save as
[11:45] <extrasolar> pratz you should be able to extract it with archive manager
[11:45] <unless_> Is it a good idea if I intend to remove the default file browser at Lubuntu and install another one?
[11:45] <pratz> extrasolar: yes i did
[11:46] <extrasolar> then what?
[11:46] <extrasolar> did you go into the extracted folder to see the program?
[11:46] <pratz> but when i try to run as ~/Download/doctotext/doctotext does not work
[11:46] <cfhowlett> unless: why remove?  just set your new file browser as default and keep the original
[11:46] <subz3r0> savio: your Network Card should get an IP of your provider. but it sounds like there is something wrong with the syntax you used for name@passwort......etc...
[11:46] <savio> how should i correct?
[11:46] <extrasolar> pratz what's the error?
[11:46] <pratz> extrasolar: here http://dpaste.com/783765/
[11:47] <cfhowlett> pratz: sudo ...
[11:47] <extrasolar> yes sudo
[11:47] <unless_> cfhowlett, good idea, could you recommend me a good and small file browser please, and then help me to figure a way to set it as default :P
[11:47] <pratz> extrasolar: here are the errors http://dpaste.com/783767/
[11:47] <subz3r0> pratz, it depends if you downloaeded the source, or the other package
[11:48] <zcoob> pratz you need to run sudo sh doctotext.sh first
[11:48] <zcoob> then run the application
[11:48] <subz3r0> you can runt he other package with ./bla.sh
[11:48] <extrasolar> type .sh at the end too
[11:48] <zcoob> actually no sudo required
[11:48] <subz3r0> mayb you'v to make it executable before
[11:48] <zcoob> for the .sh file
[11:48] <cfhowlett> unless: I can recommend thunar but as I run ubuntustudio/xfce, I'm unfamiliar with reassigning your browser defaults in ubuntu
[11:48] <unless_> Which one would be a good file browser option instead of CPMan FM?
[11:49] <extrasolar> unless_ the terminal
[11:49] <maazi> siema . ;d
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> unless_  try a few and mae your choice
[11:49] <maazi> Who PL ?
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> make*
[11:49] <savio> help?
[11:49] <pratz> zcoob: here http://dpaste.com/783768/
[11:49] <maazi> Looool . ;d
[11:49] <maazi> Jak instalowac pliki ?
[11:49] <maazi> na ubuntu ?
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> !pl
[11:50] <maazi> monkey pl ?
[11:50] <maazi> !pl
[11:50] <extrasolar> why are you putting a . at the start?
[11:50] <extrasolar> pratz if in doubt go into the directory
[11:50] <zcoob> hmm pratz and you started the .sh file using sh doctotext.sh ?
[11:50] <extrasolar> cd Downloads/doctotext/
[11:51] <unless_> MonkeyDust, where do I find the available options?
[11:51] <pratz> extrasolar: zcoob ok from that directory the program runs
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> unless_  options for?
[11:51] <extrasolar> unless_ http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20081224191928555/FileManagers.html
[11:51] <pratz> extrasolar: zcoob but i want to integrate the program in code
[11:51] <zcoob> if you have root access
[11:51] <nokari> !grub > nokari
[11:52] <pratz> extrasolar: zcoob so i need a way to run that program from other locations too
[11:52] <zcoob> you can copy the 2 library files to /usr/lib/, then it doesn't matter where you start the program
[11:52] <unless_> MonkeyDust, FileManagers, thank you, extrasolar have already helped.
[11:52] <unless_> extrasolar, thank you!
[11:52] <extrasolar> integrate the program in code?
[11:52] <zcoob> or alternatively you cann add the first part of the .sh stuff to your /home/yourname/.bashrc or /home/yourname/.profile
[11:53] <remsSs> hi everybody
[11:53] <extrasolar> i agree with zcoob's last comment
[11:54] <pratz> zcoob: dude i copied it to /usr/lib
[11:54] <pratz> but does not work
[11:54] <pratz> after coping i treid sh ~/Download/doctotext/doctotext.sh
[11:54] <zcoob> you dont have to do that anymore
[11:55] <pratz> zcoob: so how do i run the program now ?
[11:55] <zcoob> you see i'll try to explain it. the shell script ( the .sh file ) tells the programm where the libraries are that the program needs
[11:55] <zcoob> usually /usr/lib/ is in the library PATH
[11:55] <cfhowlett> ping
[11:55] <zcoob> where programs usually look for libraries they need
[11:55] <extrasolar> pong
[11:56] <jalexandru> http://ping-pong.com/
[11:56] <zcoob> oh now he's gone
[11:56] <extrasolar> lol

As root i can touch file.txt no problem. doing the same with my web user(as i need todo this wil php files gives): cd /mnt/documents su www-data $ touch testing.txt touch: cannot touch `testing.txt': Permission denied
[11:58] <pratz> zcoob: ok, got that working now
[11:58] <pratz> zcoob: thanks buddy
[11:59] <zcoob> alright
[12:00] <greyolli> re ppl..
[12:00] <vivid> AdvoWork... isnt it clear that you dont have write access as that user?
[12:01] <theadmin> AdvoWork: /mnt is 755.
[12:01] <theadmin> vivid: Mount it somehwere under your home directory or use umask
[12:01] <theadmin> Err
[12:01] <theadmin> AdvoWork: ^
[12:02] <greyolli> Now I've ubuntu server & somehow motd is modified w/ string "System restart required" . Please tell me when this happens? 'grep -r "System restart required" /etc' shows only the motd file.
[12:02] <bytethebullet> well it sounds like you should restart
[12:02] <theadmin> greyolli: That happens when packages trigger the update-notifier trigger. Kernels tend to do that.
[12:03] <theadmin> greyolli: Kernels and libc
[12:03] <greyolli> theadmin, thanks.
[12:03] <ganster> how to  remove  password voice  during input  characters
[12:04] <samcoldham1> does anyone know how to install .run files
[12:04] <zcoob> samcoldham1: try sh XYZ.run
[12:04] <zcoob> probably need sudo
[12:04] <greyolli> theadmin, is it ok to reboot later or system will be unstable?
[12:04] <theadmin> greyolli: Well, it's supposed to work fine, but if you're experiencing issues then that's your problem :P
[12:05] <zcoob> asking for a reboot usually means changes will only happen after reboot
[12:05] <zcoob> not that the system will be unstable
[12:05] <greyolli> :)
[12:05] <greyolli> ok, thanks.
[12:05] <zcoob> might be ofcourse but i doubt it
[12:05] <TJ-> greyolli: The MOTD is modified by scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/
[12:06] <TJ-> greyolli: It's useful - you can add your own into it
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> if you  make a .hushogin file  the motd wontbe shown   handy for ssh
[12:09] <TJ-> Dr_Willis: You suffer from noisy hogs then? :p

[12:13] <AdvoWork> vivid, yeah but i've tried changing the location to 777, and ive given the folder chown to www-data:www-data as well, same issue?
[12:13] <extrasolar> ganster not sure what you mean
[12:13] <extrasolar> can you rephrase the question
[12:13] <wowstargate> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1137725/
[12:14] <vivid> AdvoWork... did you read what theadmin said?
[12:14] <greyolli> TJ-, thanks.
[12:14] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Add "umask=0000" to your mount options. I think that should fix it (not sure if cifs supports that option though)
[12:17] <wanksta> how to  remove  password voice  during input  characters
[12:18] <extrasolar> bot?
[12:18] <theadmin> wanksta: Please rephrase. That makes no sense. If English is not your native language, visit the Ubuntu channel for your language.
[12:19] <AdvoWork> theadmin, i've tried adding umask=0000 but keeps saying its bad so assume it isn't supported. any idea if there is an alternative?
[12:19] <wanksta> how to  remove  password voice  during input  characters
[12:19] <extrasolar> i see a ban coming on
[12:19] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Hm, not sure.
[12:20] <bytethebullet> wanksta: what on earth are you talking about
[12:20] <TJ-> Sounds like one of the accessibility features
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> bytethebullet  it's a bot or bored script kiddie, to be ignored
[12:21] <wanksta> theadmin,  when i startup my pc it request  to enter the password  but as i input them  gives out voice with respect characters
[12:21] <extrasolar> what the...

[12:22] <wanksta> Dr_Willis, how  to take it off
[12:22] <Dr_Willis>   look in the options..
[12:23] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Please read "man mount.cifs", specifically the "uid", "gid", "file_mode" and "dir_mode" options.
[12:23] <wanksta> Dr_Willis,  am waiting for ya help
[12:24] <francua> hello, ive tried to edit my terminal promt in bashrc file, but it didnt work
[12:24] <theadmin> francua: Details?
[12:25] <wanksta> Dr_Willis, theadmin    am waiting for ya effect
[12:25] <zcoob> wanksta: have you checked the disablitiy options in the top right corner?
[12:25] <theadmin> wanksta: Oh, huh, so you have  screen reader?
[12:25] <Asad2005> My boot time have become slooow lately and i am getting a message waiting for network connection or something similar. Do i need to make it static to avoid delay or there is some tuning to be done with dhcp
[12:25] <theadmin> wanksta: Just get rid of that and you'll be more or less good to go
[12:26] <TJ-> francua: You do know you have to log-out from the existing session and log-in again for .bashrc to be reread?
[12:26] <wanksta> theadmin, hope so  i will be having
[12:26] <wanksta> theadmin, it irritating me  and i need to it off
[12:27] <nokari> is there a way to make a bootable backup (on a second hard drive) of the currently running system, without booting into clonezilla or similar? something like carbon copy cloner (OS X) or The Best Disk Cloning App for Windows DriveImage XML (Windows)?
[12:27] <wanksta> zcoob, no disability option
[12:27] <TJ-> nokari: If the file-system in use supports snapshots, you can use that
[12:28] <theadmin> nokari: dd
[12:28] <nokari> (disregard the "The Best Disk Cloning App for Windows", copy&fail)
[12:28] <theadmin> nokari: More or less. You'll have to backup the MBR with dd as well as the partitions
[12:28] <TJ-> theadmin: dd isn't good on a running system since files can change
[12:29] <wanksta> zcoob, no disability option
[12:29] <nokari> file-system in use supports snapshots <- ext4 does not, right?
[12:29] <wanksta> theadmin, it irritating me  and i need to it off
[12:30] <catalinb> Hi! I have a laptop with ati video card, I'm running ubuntu 12.04. I'd like to use the proprietary ati driver, but I've noticed it messes up the display colors. How can I retrieve the color settings used by the open source default driver?
[12:30] <heisenmink> My netbook freezes when I try to suspend it. Newest ubuntu LTS 64bit on Asus Zenbook, googling yields nothing.
[12:30] <heisenmink> fresh install
[12:30] <AdvoWork> theadmin, i've alread tried that kind of thing, such as: //192.168.0.207/documents /mnt/documents cifs username=root,password=test,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0  i assume gid/uid is for the www-data user?
[12:31] <theadmin> AdvoWork: I think so.
[12:31] <BluesKaj> catalinb, did you try the recommended driver first ?
[12:31] <rdococ> I wish I had an Ubuntu computer...
[12:33] <TJ-> nokari: ext4 had snapshot support added last year
[12:33] <AdvoWork> theadmin, it mounts ok, but it no longer lists the files that are on the shared folder :/
[12:33] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Well that's weird. Sorry, I don't use CIFS and I can't test or do anything to really help
[12:34] <catalinb> BluesKaj, I have two options: ATI/AMD FGLRX graphics driver and ATI/AMD FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates). I can only activate the first one.
[12:34] <nokari> TJ-: ok, thanks. I'll look into that.
[12:35] <catalinb> The second one yields an error with jockey.
[12:35] <TJ-> AdvoWork: Adding "_netdev" would be advisable too, although I doubt it's the cause of your current issue
[12:36] <Supermicro> Hello! I finally managed to shut down vents and cpu/hdd overheating with a little help from nice crew here so BIG THX! 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? TA
[12:37] <Supermicro> installing on laptop acer 5750g with optimus but i disabled 540m as i hardly ever use it.
[12:38] <Supermicro> would appreciate any help or suggestion
[12:38] <ganster> screen reader  remove command
[12:38] <theadmin> Supermicro: Please don't use Enter too much, sort of floods the channel.
[12:38] <BluesKaj> catalinb, yes , but I asked if you tried the recommended driver
[12:39] <ganster> sudo apt-remove screenreader
[12:39] <ganster> screen reader  remove command  sudo apt-remove screenreader
[12:39] <TJ-> AdvoWork: have you used the "noperm" option? Also, does this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[12:41] <Bubbelgum> i have a question after i wuit Minecraft a program called Compiz does tend to crash, and i dont know what that is or what it does
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <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
[12:44] <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
[12:45] <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.
[12:46] <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"
[12:48] <BluesKaj> catalinb, you really should try the recommended driver , IMO
[12:48] <savio> hey guys
[12:48] <savio> how to diable unity in 12.04
[12:49] <theadmin> !nounity | savio
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> savio  basically, install a different DE and select that in LightDM
[12:51] <savio> i will back after installing 12.04
[12:51] <alek66_> I have a "filosofical" question about 64 vs 32bit, how much "of a waste" would be install a 32bit on a 64bit computer (Since its for home use)??
[12:51] <savio> is there issue with intel graphics
[12:52] <rahul_> where i can download ubuntu default "movie player" plugin so i can install on computer (don't have internet connection)?
[12:52] <theadmin> alek66_: If you have more than 3 gigs of ram, go with 64-bit, otherwise it doesn't matter.
[12:52] <MonkeyDust> savio  i have intel graphics, works like a charm
[12:52] <end_guy> sup dudes
[12:52] <AdvoWork> TJ-, this works: mount -t cifs -o rw,guest,noperm //192.168.0.207/documents    /mnt/documents which is now very stramge
[12:53] <TheM4ch1n3> alek66_: 64b means your CPU cache is more filled, and easier to run 64bit stuff
[12:54] <TheM4ch1n3> alek66_: also 64bit will map more than 3g of ram properly (without hassle)
[12:54] <WhaleProbe> is there an alternate theme if i don't quite like orange everything?
[12:54] <MonkeyDust> !eyecandy| WhaleProbe
[12:55] <alek66_> theadmin, TheM4ch1n3 great, thanks. I can be safe running 32bit then
[12:55] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[12:55] <theadmin> alek66_: Well, if you have a 64-bit CPU, I suggest a 64-bit OS either way.
[12:56] <alek66_> theadmin: I know they got better now, but I dont want to hassle with packages
[12:57] <RAsputtin> how can i see bluetooth
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> RAsputtin  install blueman
[12:57] <RAsputtin> how can i see bluetooth
[12:57] <RAsputtin> :D
[12:57] <theadmin> alek66_: There is no hassle with packages at all, multiarch on Ubuntu is awesome
[12:57] <RAsputtin>  -.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.--.-
[12:57] <theadmin> RAsputtin: Don't spam the channel.
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> theadmin  ignore it
[12:58] <subz3r0> RAsputtin, youre not the radio active man. so YOU cant. now leave. thanks
[12:58] <RAsputtin> ok
[12:59] <alek66_> theadmin: I dont know if it is cuase of the 64bit or the Nvidia driver, but the booting splash screen look like in negative and text. haha thats why I was a bit skeptical
[12:59] <RAsputtin> ok
[12:59] <RAsputtin> thanks MonkeyDust
[12:59] <Asad2005> I am having boot delay probably due to network connection
[12:59] <theadmin> alek66_: That's a livecd issue on some machines, no idea
[13:00] <Asad2005> Is it safe to reduce the 120 sec in failsave.conf "post-start exec logger -t 'failsafe' -p daemon.warning "Failsafe of 120 seconds reached.""
[13:00] <alek66_> theadmin: also... SATA disks where not recognized (did all BIOS operations possible)
[13:00] <theadmin>  alek66_ now that's NOT supposed to happen...
[13:00] <theadmin> alek66_: Are you sure the image downloaded and burned properly?
[13:01] <uhaish> man, ktorrent sucks.
[13:01] <uhaish> is so buggy.
[13:01] <uhaish> deluge is heaps better.
[13:01] <mmr> hello there!
[13:02] <alek66_> theadmin: yes, everything is ok. I was told to set pci=nomsi parameter at boot to get the disks working.
[13:02] <mmr> how can I install jython using apt-get and make it use my manually installed jdk (instead of download/installing openjdk as dep)?
[13:03] <theadmin> alek66_: Huh, I don't even know what that does
[13:03] <theadmin> mmr: You can't really do that, APT has no idea about your own JDK
[13:03] <alek66_> theadmin: np, I will give 64bit another try
[13:03] <catalinb> BluesKaj, "catalinb, you really should try the recommended driver , IMO" - and which is that?
[13:03] <theadmin> mmr: You should probably make a Debian package of your own JDK, install that and...
[13:03] <mmr> theadmin: is there anyway i can inform it of my manually installation existence?
[13:04] <mmr> theadmin: hm, ok, i can do that
[13:05] <mmr> theadmin: with the package in hand, what next?
[13:05] <mmr> theadmin: how do i inform apt-get that the jython install should depend on my jdk package?
[13:06] <zcoob> mmr does jython need the jdk to install or do you mean that the installed jython uses your jdk?
[13:06] <theadmin> mmr: Well, remove the JDK as it is and install it through the package you made, assuming this package "provides openjdk" you should be good.
[13:06] <RAsputtin> once one question how can i find ppp ?
[13:06] <mmr> theadmin: hm, isnt that 'cheating' ?
[13:06] <ceil> apt-cache search ppp
[13:06] <theadmin> mmr: That's the best way I see.
[13:07] <ceil> or browse for it in synaptic, i guess
[13:07] <mmr> zcoob: jython needs jdk
[13:07] <zcoob> hmm it usually checks for libs doesnt it?
[13:08] <zcoob> i mean, if you installed your own jdk properly the libs should be in /usr/libs/ and apt-get should find it when installing jython
[13:08] <mmr> theadmin: isnt there a more abstract name
[13:08] <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'
[13:09] <rood> subz3r0: how to do so? its just basic ftpd from aptitude
[13:09] <rood> and normal shell user
[13:09] <rood> already tried setting the folder he uploads into as his homefolder, heh
[13:10] <subz3r0> rood, also I would strongly recommend not using FTP. use sftp instead
[13:10] <tuanpro> #system_mining
[13:10] <rood> its in a LAN, no outside connections
[13:10] <subz3r0> ahh ok
[13:10] <rood> I do know how to use iptables and such :P just suck with linux's rights system
[13:11] <savio> subz3r0: i try my best but not able to connect to internet
[13:11] <rood> (and sftp also works tho, but thats using the SSH i think)
[13:11] <savio> going to format
[13:14] <antao> any idea how to delete an image you've pasted into librecad/qcad afterwards?
[13:14] <g30rgi0> hello everyone
[13:15] <vachon> hey all, has anyone seen jumbo frames on a bonded (active/passive) interface cause slower transmit speeds?
[13:15] <vachon> i'm on a 10GbE net with Jumbo's on everything
[13:16] <bestdnd> when starting aMule, from terminal, i get the following error, and get the prompt again. can anyone help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1137786/
[13:16] <Pici> vachon: not sure that this channel would be the best place to ask.  ##networking might have a better idea ;)
[13:17] <subz3r0> bestdnd, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=661592
[13:18] <antao> nobody here got an idea?
[13:18] <l3d> i was wondering why ubuntu 12.04 is so slow to respond unlike 10.10 is fast as hell ?
[13:18] <bestdnd> thanks
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> l3d  make sure havent got too many kernels in /
[13:18] <vachon> Pici: i posted there too, I'm wondering if its ubuntu specific (or at least bonding)
[13:19] <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] <MonkeyDust> subz3r0  on how 'filled' / is
[13:19] <l3d> MonkeyDust, this is after i d/l the iso and burn and install
[13:19] <vachon> they arent splitting
[13:20] <g30rgi0> I'm trying to install ubuntu again, everytime I boot the dvd, a small logo appears at the bottom of the screen, but then a dash appears at the top left of the screen(like usual), then the screen is black and just sits there.  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> l3d: what video card
[13:20] <subz3r0> MonkeyDust, but you cant fill it "too" much, because ext3/4 will reserve about 5% of the space? since you said "kernels". sorry but i dont get it?!
[13:21] <g30rgi0> ati radeon 6490m
[13:21] <jrib> g30rgi0: checksum the cd.  If no errors, use alternate installer
[13:21] <alex88> hi guys, i'm trying to use ls --xml as usvn uses that, is another command to do the same? because i find that --xml is not a valid option
[13:21] <jpmh> I am running 12.4 and have used SETTINGS/BRINGTHNESS & LOCK and set my system to lock after 5 minues - it does not lock - why not and how do I fix this
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[13:21] <g30rgi0> I tried using the flash drive one, but for some reason i dont have the option to boot from that
[13:22] <g30rgi0> thank you very much
[13:22] <subz3r0> g30rgi0, check the bios, if you can boot from usb
[13:22] <g30rgi0> I tried that subz3r0
[13:22] <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
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> subz3r0  if / is 95% loaded, the system becomes slow
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> loaded, filled, whatever
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> 5% is rezerved by default
[13:25] <bestdnd> thanks. amule works now, and i could also copy the incoming and temp folders so i didn't lose my downloads
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> cant say ive ever seen a near full / cause issues
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> it worked for me, can only hope it works for others, too
[13:27] <subz3r0> Dr_Willis, thats why i've asked him
[13:27] <BluesKaj> catalinb, the driver in jockey
[13:28] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'm assuming you're noticing it's slow due to slow read/write speeds? can you/have you attempted to try it without bonding?
[13:28] <subz3r0> only thing that rly slowed down my system was ~/.thumbnails. like 100k entries were way too much
[13:28] <vachon> i can, one second
[13:32] <vachon> orders of maginitude better
[13:32] <vachon> oh wait
[13:32] <vachon> no, back to crap
[13:32] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, in terms of response time or throughput?
[13:32] <abdul> hello any body to help
[13:33] <vachon> throughput
[13:33] <jrib> Guest28425: just ask your question
[13:33] <Guest28425> pls i want to use my webcam on ubuntu which chat messenger can i use
[13:33] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: peak:    515Mb   rates:   49.6kb  79.0Mb  92.1Mb
[13:33] <vachon> i'm dd'ing urandom with a BS of 1M
[13:33] <vachon> no way thats on avg 79 Mb
[13:34] <endstille> i have a problem on my ubuntu 12.04 x64 server, it basically runs apache2, mysql and some websites
[13:34] <theadmin> Guest28425: Depends on what protocol you want to chat on.
[13:34] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, .... you're on 1gbit?
[13:34] <vachon> 10GigE
[13:34] <endstille> now each time the cron from cron.d to clean up php5 is executed, it crashes and the load rises by a value of 1 (so i had a load of 100 after 2 days)
[13:35] <endstille> in syslog i can see: $
[13:35] <endstille> Aug  9 14:44:52 grolne-ocs02 cron[3171]: (CRON) DEATH (can't open or create /var/run/crond.pid: Permission denied)
[13:35] <_skpl> how can i set ubuntu to autoplay cd's?
[13:35] <ceil> bad idea
[13:35] <endstille> any idea, what could prevent root from writing in /var/run?
[13:35] <ceil> (i don't know how, but still, i don't recommend it)
[13:35] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, can your disks handle it? (just checkin)
[13:35] <ceil> endstille: a lock on the file?
[13:35] <theadmin> endstille: Uhh, why the heck do you want that? root has access to anywhere.
[13:35] <vachon> its an equallogic SAN
[13:35] <vachon> so, ya
[13:36] <vachon> 22 disks in a raid 50 with a 4GB cache
[13:36] <s3r3n1t7> that should be good, aye ...
[13:36] <vachon> no other IOPS right now
[13:36] <vachon> let me set mtu back to 1500
[13:36] <endstille> if i check ls -lts /var/run i can see root is owner and has all rights :/
[13:36] <endstille> btw. nice SAN we run the same here :)
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> _skpl: you mean auto play music cds ?
[13:37] <vachon> the 6110?
[13:37] <_skpl> Dr_Willis: YES
[13:37] <_skpl> yes. :)
[13:37] <theadmin> _skpl: It's in the Nautilus settings
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> _skpl: could be a media player setting i guess. to start playint the muzak
[13:38] <_skpl> theadmin: i cant fid it in the nautilus settings
[13:38] <theadmin> _skpl: Well I ain't gonna install Nautilus just to check... I'm on KDE
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> i just pop in cd - rip to audio file.. store cd on shelf
[13:38] <dramr> hello i want to ask how to optimize arabic fonts display in browser to be similar to that in windows browser
[13:38] <dramr> ?
[13:39] <theadmin> dramr: That... didn't really make any sense, "optimize"?
[13:39] <superbbbfab> hi i0ve a problem with playonlinux, someone can help me?please
[13:39] <theadmin> superbbbfab: Sure, what's your prob?
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> i use jack -Q -R to rip cds
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> _skpl:  try the hud search tap alt then type in 'auto' see if you can find the autoplay settings. im not on gnome to look right now for them
[13:39] <endstille> ceil: ls -lts /run gives me: 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root       root          5 Aug  9 15:11 crond.pid
[13:39] <dramr> hello i want to ask how to make arabic fonts display in browser similar to that in windows browser
[13:40] <theadmin> dramr: Do you have a screenshot of what you mean? Some of us don't remember Windows already.
[13:41] <_skpl> Dr_Willis: no didnt find it there
[13:41] <dramr> the browser display arabic fonts with the ubuntu default fonts i want it to be in TTF
[13:41] <_skpl> it used to ask wheat i wanted to do with them when i put it in, but i told it not to ask anymore.
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> _skpl:  check the settings tools or nautilus menus i guess
[13:41] <superbbbfab> i've 2 problems : the first is  a problem with assassincreed(it doesn'tstar,crash) and the second is : i've installed directx9 pack on default profile, how can i disinstall it?
[13:41] <dramr> is that more clear ???
[13:41] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, how's it without jumbo?
[13:41] <vachon> well, this is majorly odd
[13:41] <vachon> i remove MTU from the since interface
[13:41] <g30rgi0> forgot to ask one last thing, the documentation was a little confusing about the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of ubuntu.  I have a 64bit i7, and want to use the 64bit ubuntu, but it says amd in the file name, will i7 work with the 64 bit version?
[13:42] <vachon> and it autonegiotated MTU 9000
[13:42] <compdoc> g30rgi0, thats the one to use
[13:42] <vachon> yet, with bonding on, it only shows 1500, i wonder if its doing it and ifconfig isn't seeing it
[13:42] <g30rgi0> ok thank you
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> g30rgi0: amd64 is the generic term for 64bit for intrl and amd
[13:43] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, could it be that the virtual interface for bonding only negotiates for an MTU 1500, yet the individual ones do MTU9000?
[13:43] <dramr> also i need help in another issue ( screen brightness level always return to highst value after i adjust it everytime it returns to the highst value)
[13:43] <vachon> damn, seeing the same "bouncy" transmission
[13:43] <vachon> peak:    472Mb   rates:   98.0kb  43.6Mb  80.1Mb
[13:45] <subz3r0> dramr, http://askubuntu.com/questions/151651/brightness-is-reset-to-maximum-on-every-restart and http://askubuntu.com/questions/145314/how-to-save-brightness-settings
[13:45] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: hardset mtu to 1500, loooks the same as if it was 9000
[13:45] <prcIII> if you just chmod a whole directory on accident and gave 777 permissions how do you undo what you just did
[13:46] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'm slowly starting to think that the jumbo frame isn't the problem, but there is some other bottleneck ..
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> prcIII:  what dir?
[13:46] <vachon> im coming to agree
[13:46] <prcIII> its one from withing a local codebase of a site i am working on
[13:46] <vachon> here is my test: time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/mnt/big-file4 bs=1M count=8388608
[13:46] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, bonding means you have 2 NIC's (or more? ), so what happens if you use just 1 NIC or the other?
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> prcIII:  will have to chmod it back to what it needs to be.
[13:47] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: the last test was the nic direct
[13:47] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, and the other NIC? (ruling out NIC's in general)
[13:47] <vachon> its a dual port 10GigE
[13:47] <s3r3n1t7> hmm
[13:47] <vachon> so the other nic shares everything
[13:48] <vachon> minus the cable
[13:48] <g30rgi0> Any tutorials that can help me install starcraft 2 with patch 1.5, and which ubuntu os is best for it? I've read that it doesn't work in 12.04
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> !Appdb | g30rgi0
[13:48] <g30rgi0> hahaha sorry guys thank you
[13:49] <Pegaso> o:
[13:49] <theadmin> g30rgi0: Also try installing the "playonlinux" package. It is a database of applications which work with WINE, and scripts to configure wine for them and help you install them.
[13:49] <Pegaso> speak spanish?
[13:49] <theadmin> !es | Pegaso
[13:50] <Pegaso> gracias ;D
[13:50] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, you have me stumped ... so both in bonding, with a high MTU, low MTU and not bonding it gives a stuttery effect when writing ...
[13:50] <vachon> yup
[13:50] <vachon> im opening wireshark now
[13:50] <dramr> may i set my browser to use true type fonts as default for page encoding
[13:50] <dramr> cause ubuntu fonts are not good looking in arabic
[13:50] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, you're reading my mind :) could you also check that the PC you're testing from isn't maxed when testing?
[13:51] <dramr> ?
[13:51] <theadmin> dramr: Font settings are under Preferences -> Content for Firefox, and on the "Content Settings" page in Chrome.
[13:51] <subz3r0> dramr, you can set the fonttype you like in your browser..
[13:51] <vachon> lets see, its a 2 proc/12 core machine with 192 GB of RAM
[13:51] <vachon> granted, what I was testing was via KVM
[13:51] <vachon> (openstack)
[13:51] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i know, but just covering all the basics
[13:51] <vachon> I could try native
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> need moar ram ;)
[13:52] <vachon> but that doesnt really help the overall problem
[13:52] <mithran> hai all.  how can i connect my apple i phone to ubuntu 12.04
[13:52] <Anomie211> My filesystem is mounting in readonly mode for some reason : http://pastebin.com/vSYPbK1p

[13:53] <mithran> subz3r0:  usb-cable
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Wifi and the right apps may be easiest
[13:54] <matriuxuser> hello guys, can som1 tell me what will happen if i rm -rf to / directory?
[13:54] <mithran> subz3r0:  i cant find thei tunes in our sofware center
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> matriuxuser:  dead system
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> matriuxuser:  if you do it as root..
[13:54] <OerHeks> matriuxuser, nothing happens.
[13:54] <matriuxuser> ok thanks
[13:54] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis actually... i bet nothing (but won't say that to channel)
[13:54] <theadmin> mithran: Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone/
[13:54] <OerHeks> indeed, Dr_Willis
[13:54] <VictorCL> how can i move the window bar buttons to the right?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> zykotick9:  if ran as root = erasaes files...
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> !Controls | VictorCL
[13:55] <k1l> matriuxuser: it is the format c: in the linux world. but on ubuntu there is a security option which will not run this comand
[13:55] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis: even with sudo i bet nothing.  the kernel will attempt to prevent it on a couple levels.
[13:56] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: opening ws now
[13:56] <mithran> theadmin:  i wil try
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> zykotick9:  not that ive ever seen
[13:56] <k1l> Dr_Willis: its blocked under ubuntu
[13:56] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis: i had to jump through several hoops to get it to work at all...
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> k1l:  since when?
[13:56] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: want to look at this too?
[13:56] <k1l> since some time
[13:57] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, "this" is rather vague =>

[13:57] <vachon> the pcap
[13:57] <vachon> i wouldnt mind an extra set of eyes
[13:57] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, would be nice
[13:58] <k1l> Dr_Willis: it works just with the --preserve-root  option set.

[14:04] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, forgot i didn't have wireshark installed yet, so a little slow
[14:04] <Dshx> is anybody out there willing to guide me ?
[14:04] <vachon> np
[14:04] <vachon> im seeing TCP window updates
[14:05] <babanomania> cat .bash_history
[14:05] <Dshx> cause i actually arent that skilled to fix kernel panics
[14:06] <matriuxuser> .bash_history works thanks
[14:06] <Dshx> i didnt modified the kernel, so there shouldnt be so much problems for you with a standard upgrade fail
[14:06] <aasu> hi

[14:07] <aasu> pl tell me
[14:07] <theadmin> aasu: All you need is the Ubuntu ISO pretty much :P
[14:08] <theadmin> aasu: And a sane disk burner (I recommend imgburn)
[14:08] <babanomania> the installer is pretty damm easy
[14:08] <aasu> i wannna down load a good applicatio
[14:08] <theadmin> aasu: Well, what type of apps do you want? You have to figure that out at least :P

[14:08] <Dshx> *you

[14:09] <PengunCSC> anyone?
[14:09] <theadmin> aasu: Browse the Ubuntu Software Center. Find stuff you like.
[14:09] <Dshx> yes
[14:09] <aasu> easy life??????????????????????
[14:09] <ralphte> Has any one got 3 monitors working with compiz support with nvidia card or cards?
[14:09] <PengunCSC> I have no sharing options at all in nautilus on Ubuntu 12.04
[14:09] <matriuxuser> search for easylife for ubuntu
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> matriuxuser  is that a game?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> PengunCSC:  install the samba package perhaps
[14:10] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, tcp window updates, yeah ... it also shows a lot of TCP segments which it can't place, but that could be due to it starting at like 15s
[14:10] <aasu> i know i did not under stand
[14:10] <L3top> aasu: check #ubuntu-beginners
[14:10] <PengunCSC> Dr_Willis, I did
[14:10] <aasu> what is that
[14:10] <matriuxuser> MonkeyDust: no it's software helper
[14:10] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, it almost appears it's still trying to send a larger frame
[14:10] <vachon> larget?
[14:10] <vachon> *larger?
[14:11] <andrewSMS> I need help in uninstalling programs in ubunu 12.04
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> PengunCSC:  you can always define shares in the smb.conf file. i tend to enable the home shares
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> matriuxuser  just read it's a fedora thing, ubuntu uses apt
[14:11] <andrewSMS> I need help in uninstalling programs in ubunu 12.04 PM me
[14:11] <Dshx> andrewSMS: what kind of
[14:11] <L3top> aasu: it is an IRC channel. /join #ubuntu-beginners   this is a support channel, to address problems. You are off topic here
[14:11] <usr13> andrewSMS: man apt-get
[14:11] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'm assuming both sides are on auto MTU negotiation? could you set them both fixed?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> andrewSMS: most  requests to 'pm me' get ignored
[14:11] <vachon> they san is fixed
[14:11] <L3top> andrewSMS: what are you trying to uninstall?
[14:11] <andrewSMS> vlc
[14:11] <L3top> sudo apt-get remove vlc        andrewSMS
[14:12] <matriuxuser> MonkeyDust: yes you can install it either
[14:12] <theadmin> andrewSMS: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove vlc
[14:12] <vachon> this was with the nic fixed too
[14:12] <andrewSMS> actually installing and uninstalling is my problem
[14:12] <aasu> te#ubuntu-beginners#ubuntu-beginners
[14:12] <theadmin> andrewSMS: Use the Software Center if you're not into the terminal
[14:12] <Anomie211> My filesystem is mounting in readonly mode for some reason, not letting me umount it (not producing any errors either though)  : http://pastebin.com/vSYPbK1p
[14:12] <L3top> aasu: /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:12] <ceed^> I came back to Ubuntu from years on Mint. How does upgrades without reinstall work these days in Ubuntu? 12.10 is coming up so it would be good to know how easy it will be to upgrade.
[14:12] <k1l> andrewSMS: "sudo apt-get remove programname" didnt work?
[14:12] <aasu> from where i get easy life
[14:12] <PengunCSC> anyone knows which packages get install when I choose to share a folder the first time?
[14:13] <aasu> where is that #ubuntu-beginners
[14:13] <k1l> aasu: forget about easylife
[14:13] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i know this sounds really odd ... but it almost seems that the network isn't the bottle neck (that's why the TCP window update) but that the receiving end can't keep up
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> !find easylife
[14:13] <usr13> andrewSMS: or you can go to the software center, find it and mark it for removal
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> aasu /join #Channelname
[14:13] <L3top> aasu: type exactly this... /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:13] <vachon> graphs show no retransmits
[14:13] <vachon> (san side)
[14:14] <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] <aasu> from where i get channel name
[14:14] <andrewSMS> this appeared.     E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[14:15] <aasu> type where
[14:15] <mithran> <subz3r0: theadmin: Thanks
[14:15] <L3top> aasu: the command to join is /join  the channel is #ubuntu-beginners. so... with / being the first character, type: /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:15] <theadmin> andrewSMS: Do you have update-manager or software-center open?
[14:15] <theadmin> andrewSMS: If so, you gotta close them.
[14:16] <aasu> where i type this command i told u i m new in ubuntu
[14:16] <theadmin> aasu: Same place you type messages to us.
[14:16] <vachon> hrm.... i wonder how much i can get out of the SAN
[14:16] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, could you humor me with a read test?
[14:16] <yossarianuk> hi - I have a general Linux question (regarding text minipulation to a file)
[14:16] <Agamemnus> hello, how do I check my libc version?
[14:16] <vachon> sure
[14:16] <andrewSMS> It's been close already but it's still the same
[14:16] <aasu> #ubuntu-beginners
[14:16] <aasu> now what
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> aasu  it's   /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:17] <yossarianuk> I am trying to just get the size column value when using the lvs command
[14:17] <aasu> join#ubuntu-beginners
[14:17] <theadmin> Ugh.
[14:17] <L3top> aasu: here... you type it in the same window you are talking to me in. you type /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:17] <yossarianuk> possibly with cut?
[14:17] <aasu> now
[14:17] <L3top> aasu: /
[14:17] <L3top> aasu: /join
[14:17] <L3top> aasu: not join... /join
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> aasu  i guess you're doing it on purpose
[14:17] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: suggestion on how to test that
[14:18] <vachon> a cp, a dd, etc?
[14:18] <aasu> join
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> aasu  it's   /join #ubuntu-beginners
[14:18] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, create a huge file (dd urandom) and copy that over
[14:18] <L3top> Im done
[14:18] <vachon> oh i got those
[14:18] <L3top> raising my blood pressure
[14:18] <vachon> 2.2 GB here i come
[14:18] <andrewSMS> Will everything function well if I am using it in a flash drive and install and uninstalling things using the "Try Ubuntu without Installing"?
[14:18] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, should be done in a flash
[14:18] <Agamemnus> how do I check my glibc version?
[14:18] <Agamemnus> bueller?
[14:19] <k1l> andrewSMS: you need a persistent installation for this
[14:19] <theadmin> Agamemnus: apt-cache policy glibc
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> andrewSMS: a live usb zetup has limits
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> aasu, You are already in the ubuntu-beginners channel.
[14:19] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: looks the same
[14:19] <yossarianuk> Agamemnus   : dpkg -l | grep glibc
[14:19] <vachon> oh wait
[14:19] <vachon> no
[14:19] <aasu> now
[14:19] <theadmin> Err...
[14:19] <theadmin> Huh.
[14:19] <vachon> real	0m13.781s
[14:19] <aasu> ok
[14:19] <aasu> now what i do
[14:19] <theadmin> ...What's the name of the libc package in Ubuntu?
[14:19] <Agamemnus> thanks, yossarianuk
[14:19] <vachon> so what the efff.....
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> andrewSMS: you can do a full instLl to usb
[14:20] <Agamemnus> that didn't do anything.
[14:20] <vachon> 13 seconds to read, but 17 seconds to write
[14:20] <vachon> thats not right
[14:20] <vachon> *17 minutes to write
[14:20] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, no it's not ... that almost sounds like a disk issue
[14:20] <aasu> now tell me what i m suppose to do
[14:20] <andrewSMS> are you sure about that? bcause this is not my computer.. maybe I will accidentally erase averything.....
[14:20] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, wait what? 17 MIN?
[14:20] <ganster> theadmin, how to remove screen reader

[14:25] <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?

[14:26] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'm just gonna assume that's a good speed to copy ...
[14:26] <vachon> yea, i would say
[14:26] <vachon> it has 40GB in it
[14:26] <vachon> and its 1TB thick file
[14:26] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'm at a loss pretty  much ... network is fine in any config, workstation is fine, disks apparently are fine
[14:27] <alecat> hi
[14:27] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, anything that's used in the copy that's not checked?
[14:27] <ganster> Dr_Willis, how  does it come to ma pc without installation
[14:27] <vachon> eh?
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> ganster: no idea
[14:27] <amr_> can any one tell me how to install full ubuntu 12 system on my 8g flash drive, and let it be bootable ?
[14:27] <k1l> ganster: it is installed per default
[14:27] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, is there any part or hardware used in copying that we haven't checked or tested?
[14:28] <vachon> no, we checked san to san, san to server
[14:28] <vachon> server to san is slow
[14:28] <k1l> ganster: you have activated it. (or someone els who has access to your amchine)
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> ganster  it's intalled by default to help people with disabilities
[14:28] <vachon> actually one item
[14:28] <vachon> never took KVM out of the equation
[14:29] <alecat> i have a brand new beast computer with a 12.04 installed. The problem: i have a constant hard drive access due to jdb2 :( i have read several pages on the net. I have noatime and commit=600 on my disk in fstab... nothing makes my hard drive more silent :( help
[14:29] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, perhaps test that, also: can you test if it's a good speed if something else writes?
[14:29] <vachon> something else?
[14:29] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, you're writing with DD, same problem happens with CP?
[14:30] <ganster> MonkeyDust,  mine ain't disabled
[14:30] <ganster> okay  let me remove
[14:30] <vachon> we did CP for the read
[14:30] <vachon> i could do the CP for a new write

[14:31] <matriuxuser> any1 know how to convert videos into flv i use ubuntu 12.4?

[14:34] <jagosix> i have ubuntu 11.04 and need to install gimp 2.8 is there a way to do it?
[14:34] <matriuxuser> thanks kll

[14:34] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i'd say that's a pretty good speed
[14:35] <vachon> well thats slower
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> jagosix  you need a PPA, but it's not supported here, use at own risk
[14:35] <jagosix> PPA ?
[14:35] <matriuxuser> theadmin: i already have wiff installed but no option for flv
[14:35] <theadmin> matriuxuser: Look carefully -- "Websites/Flash Video"

[14:36] <MonkeyDust> jagosix  a local  and unofficial software source, not in the repos
[14:36] <vachon> so dd is a gigantic pile of crap
[14:36] <vachon> thanks s3r3n1t7
[14:36] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, that much is rather obvious ... but this is still with direct nic? no bonding?
[14:36] <k1l> jagosix: since 11.04 only gets support untill october you might want to upgrade the whole system soon anyways?
[14:36] <vachon> yes
[14:36] <vachon> adding bonding in now
[14:37] <theadmin> matriuxuser: http://i.imgur.com/elL1B.png
[14:37] <jagosix> so.. there's no lts for 11.04
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> jagosix  no, 12.04 is lts
[14:37] <k1l> jagosix: nope. lts is only 10.04 and 12.04
[14:37] <jagosix> hmmm.....
[14:38] <matriuxuser> theadmin: thanks i've found it
[14:38] <k1l> hmm, that wasnt the answer he wanted to hear :/

[14:41] <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? I have activated it but it's not working when the song changes?
[14:41] <Guest16877> No, no I don't want to be installed
[14:41] <pr0ndigy> i got a question about remote control software. i'm looking for an program that will run like TeamViewer does on Windows, where it will load up when the computer is turned on, but you don't have to login first for the program to run so i can remote into the machine incase there is a power failure and the system reboots.
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> Guest16877:  remove it then. or do a minimal install
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> pr0ndigy:  check out freenx
[14:42] <hjb> which packe contains the "man" and apropos commando?
[14:43] <sikander> hi
[14:43] <k1l> BlueWolf: maybe you need to check an option in the rhythmbox options (or rhythmbox plugin options)
[14:43] <s3r3n1t7> pr0ndigy, freenx as Dr_Willis suggested. Runs well, only requires ssh access and uses default user logins from the machine so nothing special required.
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> ive never gotten freenx working well ;(
[14:43] <null1024> hjb: the man-db package
[14:43] <pr0ndigy> does freenx run on windows as well?
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use just vnc
[14:43] <s3r3n1t7> Dr_Willis, i'm using a PPA for it, works bloody awesome here
[14:44] <s3r3n1t7> pr0ndigy, it has a windows client, yes
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> s3r3n1t7:  not tried it in a year+
[14:44] <pr0ndigy> thanks
[14:44] <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. ;)
[14:45] <s3r3n1t7> Dr_Willis, it doesn't yet, but there are very early alpha idea's
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> BlueWolf:  sounds like a bug to report
[14:45] <Guest50374> Can enybody help on a SAMBA issue?
[14:45] <compdoc> Guest50374, maybe
[14:46] <BlueWolf> 	
[14:46] <BlueWolf> Dr_Willis: Would Updating help? Could you just confirm where that option is so I can just make sure?

[14:51] <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?
[14:52] <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] <vachon> it tops out at 11MB/s
[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
[14:53] <bullitt> Dr_Willis: ah that might be it
[14:53] <bullitt> going to try, thanks
[14:53] <BlueWolf> Dr_Willis: It's in Preferences right?
[14:53] <vachon> oh well eff me
[14:53] <vachon> there i go for being a sensible person

[14:54] <abdul> i need to use my webcam
[14:54] <abdul> pls
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <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] <vachon> s3r3n1t7: oh so much better: peak:   2.64Gb     rates:   2.56Gb  2.59Gb  2.52Gb
[14:55] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, i like those numbers

[14:56] <BlueWolf> ?
[14:56] <vachon> yes, they make, well.... sense
[14:57] <vachon> time to fill up 1TB of data!
[14:57] <jesse_> Hi there. Just installed Xubuntu on my low end laptop :D
[14:57] <Guest43592> hello anybody aroun
[14:57] <Guest43592> to help me out with the matter
[14:57] <s3r3n1t7> vachon, should be done in a minute or 2 ;-) good luck have fun! Time for dinner
[14:57]  * Dr_Willis is at work so is poping in and out all day
[14:57] <vachon> thanks s3r3n1t7 *high five*
[14:58]  * s3r3n1t7 high fives vachon 
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> !Webcam
[14:59] <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?
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <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] <TadekMocarzz> I NEED HELP
[15:04] <L3top> That is an excellent way to get ignored TadekMocarzz.
[15:04] <TadekMocarzz> i have download virtual machine but it looks ugly and blurry, its with UBUNTU 11.10
[15:04] <subz3r0> !ask | TadekMocarzz
[15:04] <TadekMocarzz> HOW CAN IT look like normal computer?
[15:05] <smokejoy> Thanks all. I will try your suggestions.
[15:05] <jrib> smokejoy: you should ask the #samba channel if there's a "better way"
[15:05] <wilee-nilee> TadekMocarzz, have you installed the guest additions?
[15:05] <usr13> TadekMocarzz: How can *what* look like a normal computer?
[15:05] <TadekMocarzz> heres screenshot: http://wereproxy.com/
[15:05] <L3top> what have you installed IN the virtual machine TadekMocarzz
[15:05] <TadekMocarzz> i think no, but that dosent help with gui
[15:05] <TadekMocarzz> look at the screenshot
[15:05] <smokejoy> jrib, I'll do it, thanks
[15:06] <David|BR> http://tinyurl.com/cvz8pmt
[15:06] <L3top> That is not a screenshot.
[15:06] <TadekMocarzz> the icons are half size, everything is blurry, text is 3 times what i have in windows
[15:06] <TadekMocarzz> i want normal gui like in old linuxes or windows
[15:06] <TadekMocarzz> it is
[15:06] <L3top> wereproxy.com is NOT a screenshot
[15:06] <DJones> TadekMocarzz: David|BR ? Does that have anything to do with Ubuntu
[15:06] <David|BR> sorry there, lol wrong window my bad
[15:06] <usr13> TadekMocarzz: The URL you gave us is clear, no distortion.  What are you talking about?  What is your issue?
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <usr13> TadekMocarzz: What is your native language?
[15:08] <L3top> !screenshot | TadekMocarzz
[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
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <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?
[15:11] <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..
[15:12] <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.
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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] <usr13> Agamemnus: Maybe the server you are trying to access is temporarily off-line.
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <TadekMocarzz> i will use that command
[15:17] <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?
[15:17] <subz3r0> TadekMocarzz, why not try to get support from the builder of the vm? we do not know anything about the vm...
[15:18] <TadekMocarzz> i dunno who made it,  rockbox channel send me here for help
[15:18] <cake3> hey guys. does anyone know where I can go to practice python programming? Like challenges?
[15:18] <L3top> Waiting for that output TadekMocarzz
[15:18] <jrib> TadekMocarzz: if you're not using an official version of ubuntu, we cannot help you
[15:18] <ThinkT510> cake3: best ask in #python
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> TadekMocarzz:  then the best thing would be to use an official release in your vm
[15:18] <cake3> ThinkT510: thanks
[15:18] <tier1> hey cake3, you can use the shell to make little programs
[15:19] <TadekMocarzz> L3top wait a second, system is booting
[15:20] <Squall5668> L3top: you do know that he will take a screenshot of the output and give you wereproxy again right?
[15:21] <TadekMocarzz> im going to paste it here if u like
[15:21] <L3top> of course I do
[15:21] <s3r3n1t7> TadekMocarzz, we need the 2 lines it tells you. You can type those in here.
[15:22] <TadekMocarzz> L3top: oneiric
[15:22] <TadekMocarzz> what that means
[15:22] <ThinkT510> TadekMocarzz: 11.10
[15:23] <L3top> TadekMocarzz: uname -r
[15:23] <TadekMocarzz> i told u its 11.10
[15:23] <TadekMocarzz> 3.0.0-21-generic
[15:23] <s3r3n1t7> TadekMocarzz, do you know how to use imagebin.com? Then we would like to have a screenshot.
[15:23]  * Dr_Willis reccomends lubuntu 12.04
[15:23] <s3r3n1t7> imagebin.org *
[15:24] <TadekMocarzz> iam trying but its slow
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <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?
[15:26] <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] <zcoob> preference thing
[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?
[15:27] <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 .
[15:28] <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.
[15:29] <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] <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] <bekks> despe70: No.
[15:29] <stivan> hi boys :)) help me plss? anyone to know program for ubuntu (plagiarism-checker) i want to check text
[15:30] <leoxine> i have a question: Is there any way I can enable a global menu like feature in Xfce 4.10
[15:30] <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.
[15:31] <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
[15:32] <s3r3n1t7> despe70, that can be avoided actually, in the preferences you can disable the default gateway
[15:32] <TadekMocarzz> L3top Squall5668 heres: http://truecodeproxy.com/
[15:32] <L3top> omg
[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] <L3top> somebody kick him
[15:32] <usr13> bekks: There is a router between the webserver and the internet, right?
[15:32] <s3r3n1t7> TadekMocarzz, remember where i asked you to use imagebin? I'm waiting for a link on that site showing a screenshot :)
[15:32] <bekks> usr13: We dont know.
[15:33] <k1l> TadekMocarzz: please leave and troll elsewhere
[15:34] <usr13> bekks: Sorry, wrong nic
[15:34] <usr13> k
[15:34] <despe70> Guess I'll first try with WinSCP ...
[15:34] <despe70> thx for the feedback
[15:34] <Guest54329> hi everyone
[15:34] <Guest54329> I-m having troubles when installing ubuntu alongside windows 7
[15:34] <Guest54329> It aborts partitioning process >c
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> Guest54329  in the live session?
[15:36] <Guest54329> cannot install ubuntu alongside windows 7, it fails when prtiotioning and aborts partitioning
[15:37] <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
[15:38] <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'
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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] <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
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <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
[15:43] <digitalirony> anyway, apt-get update is just chillin at 100% wiating for headers
[15:43] <digitalirony> any ideas?
[15:45] <s3r3n1t7> digitalirony, patience?
[15:45] <digitalirony> I have been waiting for a while
[15:45] <digitalirony> it just sits
[15:46] <s3r3n1t7> cancel it and restart
[15:46] <digitalirony> s3r3n1t7: tried that a few times
[15:47] <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] <digitalirony> this is a remote box
[15:47] <s3r3n1t7> can you wget it on the remote box?
[15:47] <TadekMocarzzzz> http://imagebin.org/223908
[15:47] <digitalirony> yep
[15:48] <digitalirony> I also tried commenting out different repos
[15:48] <digitalirony> and each time it just got stuck on a diff one
[15:48] <c3l> UFW appears to be blocking stuff not in any filter, or am I missing something. For instance I see the following line in my /var/log/ufw.log: Aug  9 16:56:51 server kernel: [850118.021036] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=secret SRC=91.82.100.58 DST=secret LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=56 ID=65056 PROTO=TCP SPT=50774 DPT=80 WINDOW=1032 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0
[15:48] <s3r3n1t7> TadekMocarzzzz, it looks just fine as it is now. This is how it is supposed to look.
[15:49] <TadekMocarzzzz> YES i didnt tell it wasnt supposed to look that
[15:49] <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
[15:50] <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.
[15:51] <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] <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.
[15:52] <ThinkT510> !software | TadekMocarzzzz
[15:52] <Guest54329> any idea why it could be failing when resizing partition?
[15:52] <TadekMocarzzzz> !Packages
[15:52] <Chamunks> linthesia crashes when loading a midi file
[15:53] <TadekMocarzzzz> ThinkT510 but i know name of package, how to install it then
[15:53] <usr13> Guest54329: Are you trying to make it smaller?  Or larger?
[15:53] <remsSs> Hi
[15:53] <ThinkT510> TadekMocarzzzz: use software centre or synaptic or apt-get
[15:53] <Chamunks> http://paste.thezomg.com/4181/44527607/ terminal dump of said error that linthesia drops
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> Chamunks  techniclly, that question is for this channel, but better ask in #ubuntustudio
[15:53] <ThinkT510> TadekMocarzzzz: you are on your own if you are not using the repos
[15:54] <Guest54329> I've got a primary partion where windows is installed, when clicking install alongside windows optiong and resizing the allocation space it fails when resizing
[15:54] <Chamunks> MonkeyDust, ok im using current lts release but sounds good. I dont need to catch grief from mod trolls
[15:55] <ThinkT510> Guest54329: is it an old harddrive?
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> Chamunks  come again?
[15:55] <usr13> Guest54329: Did you run defrag ?
[15:55] <Guest54329> idk XD
[15:55] <Chamunks> MonkeyDust, just using the most recent vanilla ubuntu LTS release.
[15:55] <Guest54329> it says it is from march2010
[15:56] <Chamunks> MonkeyDust, but you're probably right I might catch off topic grief from the moderator trolls
[15:56] <usr13> Guest54329: You are attempting to shrink this partition, so you should first run defrag from MS Windows.
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> Chamunks  i mean, the people in #ubuntustudio are more skilled when it comes to music and multimedia
[15:57] <Guest54329> i didn't run defrag
[15:57] <Guest54329> :c
[15:57] <c3l> UFW appears to be blocking stuff not in any filter, or am I missing something?

[15:57] <Chamunks> it makes sense
[15:57] <litropy> Hi, all. I'm using vsftpd for my FTP server. In vsftpd.conf, write_enable=YES is active. I did restart my server after I activated write_enable=YES. I have 755 permissions on my home folder, I connect using the admin user, yet I cannot write to my home folder. Any ideas?
[15:58] <usr13> litropy: "admin user"?
[15:58] <Guest54329> the error says tha ubiquity crashed
[15:58] <Guest54329> it doesn't specify the value
[15:59] <litropy> usr13, I connect using the same user that I log into when I boot up.
[16:00] <bekks> litropy: Did you enable "local_enable" too?
[16:00] <litropy> bekks, yes
[16:00] <litropy> usr13, ^^
[16:02] <usr13> litropy: Did you restart vsftp?
[16:02] <litropy> usr13, yes
[16:03] <Kvaks> Problem: My mom's Ubuntu computer has frozen in that nothing in Unity/X responds to mouse clicks or keyboard events. Dead desktop. I can ssh into it and everything looks works well at the CLI. Suggestions for error seeking?
[16:03] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[16:04] <Wiz_KeeD> how can i send an email with attachemtn (zip file) from terminal?
[16:04] <Wiz_KeeD> does anyone know? :d
[16:04] <bekks> Kvaks: Take a llok into the Xorg.0.log in /var/log
[16:04] <Kvaks> bekks: A'ight.
[16:04] <usr13> litropy: pastebinit /etc/vsftpd.conf
[16:06] <Kvaks> bekks: No errors there. I can vnc into it, by the way, but the desktop it still dead to mouseclicks in vnc.  (Multiple reboots have been tried, of course)
[16:07] <litropy> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138023/
[16:07] <mmr> for the zsh experts around: how can i make zsh behave like bash when i type a command that does not exist, it suggests a package that has this command
[16:08] <litropy> usr13, you know what, I think it's an issue with os x (my client OS), because I can open a terminal in OS X and 'put' just fine. Yet I can't do it using the GUI.
[16:08] <usr13> litropy: What is that?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138023/
[16:09] <Kaail> Hello?
[16:09] <Kvaks> Hi.
[16:09] <litropy> usr13, whoops you wanted the .conf sorry
[16:09] <litropy> usr13, that's the log
[16:10] <usr13> litropy: Actually, never mind.  Just install / use proftpd
[16:10] <Kaail> Is this one of the places to come for if I have a problem?
[16:10] <bazhang> Kaail, ubuntu support question?
[16:10] <cake> Hey guys. How would I wget gedit?
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> Kaail  an ubuntu problem yes
[16:10] <Kaail> Yes
[16:10] <usr13> cake: What?
[16:11] <litropy> usr13, benefits?
[16:11] <litropy> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138029/
[16:11] <Guest40159> usr13: I need to use wget to download some terminal based editor
[16:11] <usr13> litropy: yes
[16:11] <usr13> Guest40159: You probably already have a terminal based editor.
[16:11] <Kaail> I've recently gone from win7 to ubuntu. In win7 I needed to limit my RAM with msconfig or the sound would get crackly. Is there a way to limit RAM similarly in ubuntu as I get crackly sound again.
[16:12] <Guest40159> usr13: I don't though. I am using my shell and it doesn't have it installed. It is an older version of ubuntu
[16:12] <Guest40159> or at least I think it is
[16:12] <Kurt---> Hi, I'm having a problem with my integrated Intel Centrino wireless-N 2230 wifi chip
[16:12] <zack6849> hai guys ^_^
[16:12] <savio> i complete my installation of 12.04
[16:12] <zack6849> ubuntu is nice
[16:12] <usr13> Guest40159: gedit is not a terminal based editor.  gedit is GUI.
[16:12] <savio> but there is problem
[16:13] <savio> when i try to reduce brightness system hang/freeze
[16:14] <Kurt---> My network is slow and sporaddic. I've tried with another USB stick and I get a near perfect connection.
[16:14] <Kurt---> Googling for issues with the centrino 2230 only brings up sparse results, and none that help
[16:14] <mneptok> Kurt---: same release on the USB stick as is installed? the installed version has all updates applied?
[16:14] <Guest40159> usr13: then how would I use wget to download/install one (sorry, I am veeery new to all of this)
[16:14] <Kurt---> the USB stick is a different chipset altogether.
[16:15] <SkippersBoss> kaail, crackly sound in ubuntu usually has another origin. Google on Pulse Audio
[16:15] <Kurt---> SO it must be a driver problem with the intel chip
[16:15] <mneptok> Kurt---: the USB stick does not have a wireless chipset.
[16:15] <Kaail> Will do SkippersBoss
[16:15] <mneptok> Kurt---: you mean you're testing Ubuntu on another system
[16:15] <Kurt---> No
[16:15] <Kurt---> On this one.
[16:16] <savio> anyone my ubuntu 12.04 freeze when reducing brigthness
[16:16] <Kurt---> THe integrated wifi doesn't work as intended.  USB wifi sticks -do-.
[16:16] <mneptok> Kurt---: which Ubuntu release?
[16:17] <ctult> How would you install docco-husky on a windows computer?
[16:17] <bazhang> ctult, ask in ##windows
[16:17] <Kurt---> from wubi.
[16:17] <savio> anyone?
[16:17] <Kurt---> 12.04 LTS
[16:17] <mneptok> Kurt---: any experience in Wubi is not reflective of what maight happen when the system is actually installed.
[16:17] <mneptok> *might
[16:17] <ctult> Oh wait sorry.  I mean Ubuntu
[16:17] <dwakar> anyone using qtile here?
[16:18] <savio> anyone please help
[16:18] <Kurt---> I'll try installing from a disk lter then.
[16:18] <Kurt---> I had a feeling it might be wubi.
[16:18] <mneptok> Kurt---: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:8086:0887-WIRELESS/
[16:18] <unless_> is there any command to check memory type, free slots and so forth?
[16:19] <usr13> Guest40159: Let's start over.  What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
[16:19] <savio> is anyone gona help me?
[16:19] <bazhang> unless_, dmidecode you mean?
[16:19] <bazhang> !helpme | savio
[16:19] <unless_> bazhang, not sure, I am asking or a Linux biuld in command not a extra tool.
[16:20] <bazhang> unless_, then try it in terminal
[16:20] <savio> ubottu, i installed 12.04 but reducing brightness freeze system
[16:20] <bazhang> savio, patience
[16:20] <unless_> bazhang, wonderful, thats what I was saying, thank you a lot!
[16:20] <Kurt---> I'm using a lenovo THinpad Edge E430.
[16:20] <bekks> unless_: Except shell builtin commands like "cd", etc. everything is a "extra tool".
[16:20] <Oxnard_Dogg> I tried Ubuntu 12.04 and it couldn't recognize my Broacom b43 bcm4312 wireless adapter,,,,but Puppy Linux can....why can Puppy linux do it?
[16:21] <unless_> bekks, yes
[16:21] <savio> ubottu, its serious problem
[16:21] <bazhang> savio, please stop that
[16:22] <savio> bazhang, i format my old linux because of same problem
[16:22] <savio> bazhang, still same issue
[16:22] <zack6849> hey guys, should i look fro drivers from my manuacturer or use a built in driver thing?
[16:22] <zack6849> *for
[16:23] <usr13> litropy: I dono for sure, (I use proftpd because it is easier), but I think you prolly have to uncomment chroot_local_user=YES and add user name to /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
[16:23] <bazhang> savio, stop asking every five seconds. wait 10 minutes between postings. everyone has seen your question
[16:23] <zack6849> *manufacturer
[16:23] <bekks> zack6849: Depends on the hardware you want to use.
[16:23] <mneptok> zack6849: drivers built-in to the Linux kernel are absolutely the best option, if they work for you.
[16:23] <zack6849> im usign an AMD Radeon HD 6870
[16:24] <mneptok> zack6849: do you need 3D acceleration in Linux?
[16:24] <zack6849> excuse all my typos, i was up until 2am last night fixing my computer
[16:24] <zack6849> id prefer it yes
[16:24] <dylan> my volume doesn't seem to be working...
[16:24] <zack6849> i also would appreciate dual monitors
[16:24] <dylan> nevermind
[16:24] <usr13> dylan: alsamixer
[16:24] <[snake]> who was I talking to the other day about my code?
[16:24] <[snake]> I can't remember :p
[16:25] <mneptok> zack6849: "prefer" is not "need." i have an AMD APU. i'd prefer 3D. but it's not worth the hassle of fglrx over the kernel's "radeon" driver. for me.
[16:25] <dylan> usr13: nevermind, the plug from my headphones was broken off in the jack
[16:25] <usr13> dylan: o
[16:25] <dylan> usr13: I got it with some pliers
[16:25] <zack6849> well whad exactly do you mean by 3d, im kind of stupid sometimes Dx
[16:27] <mneptok> zack6849: it's not a subject lending itself to quick discussion on IRC. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit
[16:27] <faenil> hi guys, is this the correct place for technical questions?
[16:27] <dylan> faenil: yes
[16:27] <faenil> thanks :)
[16:27] <faenil> how does Ubuntu read the name of the device when something is connected via USB?
[16:27] <dylan> what's your problem?
[16:28] <dylan> I'm not sure I understand, are you trying to find a dvice you plugged in?
[16:28] <ElGalambo> Is there any way to move the vertical lanch panel to the right?
[16:28] <faenil> nope, my final target is to change the name of the device I'm connecting to USB, that's why I'd like to know what ubuntu reads, so I can change it on the device :)
[16:28] <ElGalambo> Anything?
[16:29] <faenil> I guess the device sends its "device name" somehow
[16:29] <mneptok> faenil: dive the partition a label/name when you create it.
[16:29] <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> :)
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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?
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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] <faenil> bekks, so they probably forgot to change some config on the phone
[16:36] <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 :)
[16:37] <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] <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?
[16:38] <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] <mneptok> zack6849: yes. do NOT install that.
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <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"
  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
[16:42] <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.
[16:43] <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?
[16:44] <zack6849> mneptok, my video card isnt listed there
 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] <john515> using chmod a+x solved it
[16:44] <john515> thanks
[16:44] <john515> missed that tidbit
[16:45] <zack6849> mneptok, i cant find that program
[16:45] <mneptok> zack6849: it is a command-line app
[16:45] <mobhero> bekks : Thank you so much....
[16:45] <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
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <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> i hate to sit here and aask you guys to spoonfeed me info xD
[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?
[16:48] <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 ;)
[16:49] <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] <faenil> ok
[16:50] <trism> soliloquy: you'd need to use css still though, you can just use the url(/path) property
[16:50] <TJ-> faenil: If it turns out to be a yaffs file-system be careful
[16:50] <john515> TJ- bekks : I got Starting daemon: flashpolicydGot Errno::EISDIR Is a directory - / while attempting to create logfile
[16:50] <zack6849> alright mneptok, sorry about arguing so much about dribvvers, im so used to downloading everything from the manufacturer im getting cinfused
[16:50] <zack6849> *confused
[16:50] <bekks> john515: Thats not "command not found". :9
[16:50] <john515> after I did a+x
[16:50] <john515> :P
[16:51] <john515> prior to chmod a+x I had "command not found", now it's this
[16:51] <soliloquy> trism: CSS doesn't bother me, I just want to port a theme that was all-pixmap if I'm going to go back to Ubuntu. I'm incredibly picky about my UI && Apple has the Mac so locked down it's become hard for me to change it to suit my tastes.
[16:51] <TJ-> john515: Yes, the chmod +x simply allows your script to run. Now you're seeing an error from the commands within it
[16:51] <john515> oh
[16:52] <john515> from terminal it does work though
[16:52] <john515> have I done something wrong within the script?
[16:52] <usr13> faenil: I don't know if this contains the information you want, but: http://www.osronline.com/ddkx/install/idstrings_8tt3.htm#ddk_hardware_ids_dg
[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 ;)
[16:53] <john515> sec
[16:53] <TJ-> john515: I'd recommend you have it write the log to the standard location /var/log/
[16:53] <john515> log didn't get created for some reason
[16:53] <TJ-> john515: so that'd be "--log /var/log/flashpolicyd.log"
[16:54] <john515> you're right
[16:54] <usr13> faenil: Well, I don't know.  I've never paid much attention to the names.
[16:54] <TJ-> john515: I know :p
[16:54] <faenil> usr13, np, thanks anyway :)
[16:54] <john515> I just wanted them together, if possible
[16:54] <john515> lemme check
[16:54] <TJ-> john515: All logs should be in /var/log/
[16:54] <bekks> john515: All other logs are reside in /var/log :)
[16:54] <trism> soliloquy: oh I see, should be possible, good luck with the effort
[16:55] <carrasca> r
[16:55] <carrasca> eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[16:55] <zack6849> wait, mneptok, should i use the ones my systems settings driver tab has?
[16:55] <zack6849> because the one you linked me doesnt have my video card listen
[16:55] <zack6849> *listed
[16:56] <usr13> faenil: http://www.osronline.com/ddkx/install/idstrings_8tt3.htm#ddk_device_ids_dg

[16:58] <faenil> usr13, don't think that's it...^^
[16:58] <john515> how do I overcome that error?
[16:58] <trism> bieb: oh, the Exec= is wrong, you want the path to the script to be there
[16:58] <trism> bieb: drop the AutostartCondition line
[16:59] <roadfish> got partition misaligned error from palimpest but I used a new version of gparted which is supposed to alignon 1MB. anyone else been getting this problem?
[16:59] <bieb> trism: ok
[16:59] <roadfish> s/alignon/align on/
[16:59] <trism> bieb: the AutostartCondition line is if you have a gsettings key to enable/disable the service on login
[17:00] <TJ-> john515: what is after the --log
[17:00] <speciaLGuest> aanybody can help me with my "last" command output ? http://pastebin.com/Hi5A1dBf never had so many lines/rows in there
[17:00] <john515> shall I give you a pastebin to look at?
[17:00] <TJ-> john515: sure
[17:01] <john515> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/L7RhapQZ
[17:02] <bieb> trism:
[17:02] <bieb> trism: Thanks.. that worked
[17:02] <john515> the basic idea is that I'd like to run that flashpolicyd.rb with those two arguments bellow
[17:02] <trism> bieb: excellent
[17:02] <john515> but I've been trying two days, without success, to place it on the startup
[17:03] <TJ-> john515: that makes me think that either: it doesn't understand the "--log ..." or, the flashpolicy.xml also contains a log entry and it can't decide which one to use
[17:03] <john515> if I try it from putty with ./flashpolicy --xml --log it works
[17:03] <bekks> "... --log" is NOT "... --log filename"
[17:03] <TJ-> john515: hmmm that sounds like .... what bekks just said!
[17:04] <john515> hm
[17:04] <john515> lemme try
[17:04] <TJ-> john515: obviously, --log just means "do some logging" not "here's where to log to"
[17:05] <john515> I removed the --log altogether and got a new error

[17:06] <harnek> what command do i use

[17:08] <harnek> i want to do a fresh install like have it completely refresh
[17:08] <usr13> harnek: That wouldn't be a single command.  It would require the installer to do a lot of things.
[17:08] <harnek> all data removed
[17:08] <harnek> oh..
[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?
[17:09] <usr13> harnek: You would need to boot to the CD or USB and run the installer.

[17:10] <TJ-> john515: Do you know there's an Ubuntu PPA containing flashpolicyd that has an init script file already?

[17:12] <TJ-> john515: Well, try adding that PPA and installing it using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashpolicyd"
[17:12] <TJ-> john515: apt will take care of all dependencies

[17:18] <physically_fit> TJ-, yeah, and it slows down all my apps too
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> greenit:  see gento docs - ubuntu tool is for ubuntu only i belive
[17:19] <greenit> Dr_Willis, oh, k
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> greenit:  or the pendrivelinux site tools
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> or just dd the iso to the usb
[17:19] <john515> oh, it did require ruby after all
[17:20] <TJ-> john515: Well it would - it's written in Ruby (why, I cannot imagine!)
[17:20] <zack6849> anyone here who can give me a hand with drivers?
[17:20] <zack6849> im sufficiently confused.
[17:21] <john515> I mean I didn't expect a different repository having the module in the same language :P
[17:21] <john515> anyhow
[17:21] <john515> gave a boot to the system
[17:21] <john515> let's see if it works now
[17:21] <FloodBot1> john515: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:21] <john515> it works
[17:21] <TJ-> john515: That's a good result after 2 days!
[17:21] <john515> thanks TJ- :D
[17:22] <TJ-> john515: You're welcome... I think you deserve a nice cup of tea now!
[17:22] <john515> I'm still learning the ropes, I'be been using it like 3 weeks now :P
[17:22] <john515> I can say I'm pretty much loving it
[17:22] <TJ-> john515: Congratulations on sticking with it... it can be an uphill struggle at times... even for those of us that have been with it a long time
[17:22] <john515> I know
[17:23] <john515> so far I've placed apache, mysql, dovecot, postfix, webmail and hybrid w/ services :P
[17:23] <john515> plus a little flash irc client with an eggdrop :P
[17:23] <john515> much work eh
[17:23] <john515> but I learned alot
[17:24] <TJ-> john515: IF you need a web GUI to manage those server bits you could look at Webmin/VirtualMin/Usermin combo. For some reason Ubuntu warns against it as being somehow incompatible but in 6 years managing Ubuntu servers it's never broken anything for me
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> !Ebox
[17:25] <john515> I usually stick with console xdrp and putty, but sure, I'll check it out
[17:25] <zack6849> tj, hate to bother you but when you have a chance some assistance would be appreciated if you may be able to help me
[17:25] <zorael> Is it possible to fake a package as being installed without actually installing any of its files?
[17:26] <TJ-> john515: me too, but I tell you what, navigating the complexities of Postfix is sure made easier!
[17:26] <TJ-> zack6849: fire away!
[17:26] <john515> oh yeah, postfix took me days
[17:26] <Rhombix> Hi, I'm trying to run the Tetrinet client.
[17:26] <zack6849> i need drivers for my amd radeon card
[17:26] <john515> and know what? I had an error because I had uppercase names and it tried to mail in lowercase.. lmao
[17:26] <TJ-> zack6849: Yurgh!!
[17:26] <zack6849> and the default ones in my control panel arent installing
[17:26] <zack6849> so i have absolutley noidea what to do
[17:27] <zack6849> im learning the ropes of ubuntu
[17:27] <Rhombix> After installing Tetrinet with stnaptic, I tried to run it in the terminal, but nothing seemed to happen and the terminal had to be closed.
[17:27] <Rhombix> ^synaptic
[17:27] <aklls> how can I get my zd1211rw device go into master mode so I can create soft wireless access point?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> !Info tetrinet
[17:28] <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!
[17:29] <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?
[17:31] <TJ-> zack6849: From the dash "log file viewer" will allow you to open the log files you want to view
[17:31] <john515> in any case, I'm no longer playing games in my homeserver :P
[17:31] <zack6849> tk, how do i even open my logs?
[17:31] <zack6849> this is my very first day of using ubuntu :/
[17:31] <john515> with cat or joe
[17:32] <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\
[17:33] <john515> remote desktop would be more laggy than ssh
[17:33] <zack6849> actually, ill be right back, beacuase i just updated some things and that may help
[17:33] <TJ-> john515: I tend to use less /var/log/somefile then press "End" to get to the end of the file, then search back using a regular-expression but pressing "?" and typing the search term
[17:33] <aklls> how can I get my zd1211rw device go into master mode so I can create soft wireless access point?
[17:33] <john515> works too
[17:33] <john515> you can also tail
[17:33] <john515> I think
[17:34] <TJ-> john515: When I know which file is going to get the log reports before I do something, I'll have one terminal running "tail -f /var/log/somefile.log"
[17:34] <john515> we did a lil unix on university, and I got interested :D
[17:34] <john515> yeap
[17:34] <TJ-> john515: the "-f" shows all new entries as they are written to the file
[17:35] <john515> aha
[17:35] <john515> f stands for force?
[17:35] <TJ-> john515: "follow"
[17:36] <john515> oh
[17:36] <john515> tons of info, but thankfully tons of time :D
[17:36] <john515> to view permissions, it's ls -ld, right?
[17:36] <TJ-> john515: Your best friend is "man <some-command>" ... man-pages are the best resource
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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?
[17:39] <TJ-> john515: maybe the wrong terminal emulation for the connection?
[17:39] <john515> it was working a few days ago, that's the funny thing
[17:39] <john515> total 64                           Ξ³Ξ» 15 22:33 Videos Oneesktop
[17:39] <john515> johnny@Server:~$ nny johnny 4096 ΞΞΏΟ
[17:39] <TJ-> john515: do you have the host saved in putty's call list? if so, try creating a new one for the same host in case some saved putty setting is causing it
[17:39] <john515> example of an output
[17:40] <TJ-> john515: That does look like an encoding issue
[17:40] <john515> I have two windows pcs
[17:40] <john515> one has the putty with a saved host
[17:40] <john515> the other one hasn't
[17:40] <digitalirony> Weird, I still can not get dashboard to list the nodes from the puppetmaster
[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)
[17:41] <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] <john515> I haven't touched anything in the configuration, I think, though :P
[17:41] <TJ-> john515: hmmm :p
[17:41] <john515> I hope my brother didn't mess it up
[17:41] <kaoruko_> Could I possibly have some assistance?
[17:42] <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.
[17:43] <theadmin> kaoruko_: In as much detail as possible
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> in one line
[17:43] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: Good save :)
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> *phew* ;-)
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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.
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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?
[17:53] <zack6849> how do i get to that log file tj?
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <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] <zack6849> i copied a little more than necessary i think
[17:56] <Odra> Hello
[17:56] <TJ-> zack6849: no, that's very useful
[17:57] <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?
[17:58] <DJones> karakedi: Does your graphics card use shared memory
[17:58] <DJones> kaoruko_:  That was meant for you
[17:59] <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] <foobArrr> is there a tool that displays nice disk activity graphs, like gnome-system-monitor does for CPU, memory and network?
[18:00] <Odra> Could some please test my totally not suspicious or harmful in any proposital way stopwatch gadget and tell me whether it doesnt crash? A friend of mine said its not working properly and I don't really know anybody else to ask.
[18:00] <kaoruko_> I would upload the jockey log, but I can't find the directory it's in (I have hidden file viewing enabled) :0
[18:00] <john515> TJ- have you done any research on wake on lan?
[18:01] <TJ-> zack6849: This maybe your bug # 994672
[18:01] <TJ-> zack6849: This maybe your bug #994672
[18:01] <kaoruko_> foobar: try System Monitor?
[18:01] <kaoruko_> FoobArrr*
[18:02] <TJ-> zack6849: that's a duplicate of the main tracker bug #873058
[18:02] <foobArrr> kaoruko_: System Monitor = gnome-system-monitor?
[18:02] <kaoruko_> Ah..
[18:02] <kaoruko_> Didn't catch that o-o
[18:02] <zack6849-phone> Ermmm
[18:02] <zack6849-phone> I screwed up
[18:03] <zack6849-phone> I was playing around with display settings
[18:03] <kaoruko_> I can't change my nick o-o
[18:03] <TJ-> zack6849: the fglx main tracker bug #873058
[18:03] <nur_> i downloaded ubuntu 12.04 , 64 bit , usb bootable, if i boot from usb it asks for login and pass WHY??????
[18:03] <zack6849-phone> And they both went blank
[18:03] <TJ-> zack6849: Stop playing around then! :D
[18:03] <kaoruko_> Nur: Have you tried to burn it to a DVD?
[18:03] <zack6849-phone> I waited thinking it would fix in 30 seconds
[18:03] <zack6849-phone> And it didnt
[18:03] <zack6849-phone> so what do I do
[18:04] <TJ-> zack6849: restart it?
[18:04] <zack6849-phone> That'll work?
[18:04] <john515> probably
[18:04] <TJ-> zack6849: dunno but it's worth a try!
[18:04] <kaoruko_> I had issues with isnatalling from USB (errno 5) But it worked when I burnt the .ISO directly to a DVD with Astroburn
[18:04] <john515> yeap, boot it
[18:04] <zack6849-phone> Booting
[18:05] <john515> aw cool, I found a WoL over internet
[18:05] <zack6849-phone> Well
[18:05] <john515> now I can wake the server anywhere :P
[18:05] <zack6849-phone> KINDA worked
[18:06] <zack6849-phone> There we gp
[18:06] <Odra> Can someone test this for me? http://code.google.com/p/chrono-marker/ thanks.
[18:06] <zack6849-phone> *go
[18:06] <john515> zack, it worked?
[18:06] <zack6849-phone> Yes
[18:06] <john515> : )
[18:06] <nur_> i downloaded ubuntu 12.04 , 64 bit , usb bootable, if i boot from usb it asks for login and pass WHY??????
[18:07] <zack6849> okay so TJ-  now what do i do about the ddrivers?
[18:07] <kaoruko_> Nur_ Did you use the USB extraction tool to copy it to your drive? :0
[18:07] <john515> anyhow, gonna take a break for now.. might come over and hang around again ;)
[18:07] <john515> special thanks to tj
[18:07] <nur_> yes
[18:08] <kaoruko_> Hm..
[18:08] <nur_> im installing ubuntu now via ubuntu installer
[18:08] <nur_> in windows
[18:08] <TJ-> john515: Enjoy!
[18:08] <nur_> what is installation size??
[18:08] <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:
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <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?
[18:11] <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] <kaoruko_> Sam101: You may want to check this out? :http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gui-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-server.html
[18:11] <peterrus> if you come from a windows environment
[18:11] <yousafse> i am trying to follow this installation https://bugify.com/faq
[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
[18:12] <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] <kaoruko_> Sam101: You know any scripting languages?
[18:12] <peterrus> TJ-, yousafse  ;) try that
[18:12] <Hillshum> sam101: Apache, nginx...
[18:12] <vivekimsit> Is there any way to switch b/w terminals using the command line?
[18:12] <sam101> yeah some html
[18:12] <greenit> is it possible to copy the files from a bootable iso to an usb-stick and make this stick bootable? if yes, plz tell me how :S
[18:12] <sam101> and a little bit of css
[18:13] <zack6849> greenit,  universal usb bootmaker
[18:13] <Hillshum> greenit: What OS are you on?
[18:13] <zack6849> or something like that
[18:13] <zack6849> cant rember the exact name
[18:13] <peterrus> zack6849, greenit unetbootin
[18:13] <zack6849> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick/
[18:13] <kaoruko_> Sam101:  Just learn some solid skills and practice them :P
[18:13] <peterrus> true that
[18:14] <zack6849> yes peterrus?
[18:14] <kaoruko_> Google Chrome has the best support for HTML and CSS right now; I use that; but its your choice
[18:14] <sam101> ok thanks
[18:14] <greenit> Hillshum, i am on ubuntu, but i want to install the gentoo-minimal.iso on an usb-stick
[18:14] <kaoruko_> Also: if you want some good tutorials; try w3schools tutorials.
[18:14] <TJ-> vivekimsit: Ctrl+Alt+ F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 etc.
[18:14] <yousafse> peterrus i got plesk
[18:14] <kaoruko_> I learned what I know from there and from inspecting source codes in various websites. :P
[18:15] <unitysucks> can anyone tell me 2 things:  1 why did piece of crap remmina become the default in 12.04.  and 2- can someone help me getting gnome-rdp launcher?  i can do it from terminal, but nowhere to be found in the internet list
[18:15] <TJ-> vivekimsit: as a command you can use chvt
[18:16] <kaoruko_> I'll be right back; exiting so I can try to change my settings for my client
[18:16] <catalinb> ubuntu looks so nice! :D
[18:16] <zack6849> tj, are there any kind of drivers that should work and just let me use dual screens?
[18:16] <unitysucks> any takers?  i've google my face off and can't find anything that applies
[18:16] <sam101> if i wanted to upload somehing like a picture or file could you do that within ubuntu server or apache
[18:17] <TJ-> zack6849: For AMD I'm not sure, I've not used ATI stuff in ages
[18:17] <unitysucks> remmina is a piece of garbage, and i want to use gnome-rdp, but i can only launch it from command line
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <TJ-> !language
[18:20] <unitysucks> i'm using gnome classic right now
[18:20] <unitysucks> but its not, it just looks like it
[18:21] <unitysucks> TJ-, o
[18:21] <unitysucks> i'd use anything but remmina
[18:21] <unitysucks> remmina is the definition of garbage, i can't believe it made it into a lts distro
[18:22] <chmac> Is there a "default" password manager? Like rhythmbox / totem for audio / video for example...
[18:22] <bakarat> I have a netbook that is not powerful enough to play my mkv files without stuttering. Is there a way to do the heavy lifting on a desktop and stream the resulting video feed to the laptop?
[18:23] <TJ-> bakarat: You could use VLC for that
[18:23] <bakarat> TJ-, ah, will have a look, thanks
[18:23] <samcoldham1> If i am ubuntu server how do i upload pictures and files with ubuntu server with kvm
[18:24] <jacta> how to mount a usb drive that didnt do it itself? its /dev/sdb1
[18:24] <TJ-> samcoldham1: you could use SSH copy (scp) or even sshfs to mount the server's file-system on your localhost
[18:24] <steven_> hsudo thunar!!!!!
[18:24] <unitysucks> TJ-, what do you use for rdp needs?"
[18:25] <TJ-> unitysucks: Why would I need RDP?
[18:25] <steven_> sudo thunar broo
[18:25] <TJ-> unitysucks: anything remote, it's SSH
[18:25] <fishbait_> i have dual monitors on radeon HD 6670(fglrx) but when i show all workspaces the middle is off-center how do i fix this?
[18:25] <zykotick9> steven_: use gksudo with gui apps!
[18:25] <vivekimsit> TJ-: I am opening the diff tabs in the single terminal, and I want to switch b/w the tabs.
[18:25] <samcoldham1> would it be ok to install gnome with ubuntu server
[18:25] <unitysucks> TJ-, you must not administer 300 terminal server sessions on windows then :)
[18:26] <TJ-> vivekimsit: oh, you mean in the GUI terminal... I don't know that you can. that would be an application function
[18:27] <TJ-> unitysucks: I got out of that mess years ago, but if you're doing that why aren't you using TSM for MOM?
[18:27] <unitysucks> TJ-, too many acronyms google isn't helping
[18:27] <unitysucks> but i wuld guess the answer is i don't know about it
[18:27] <unitysucks> mom?
[18:27] <quick-> hi i have ubuntu 12.04 and i would like to channge the grub waiting time . Please help me how to do it
[18:27] <jacta> thanks for the help :p
[18:28] <TJ-> unitysucks: Terminal Services Manager
[18:28] <peterrus> unity is boss
[18:28] <peterrus> oh lets not start this discussion XD
[18:29] <peterrus> we all agree to disagree
[18:29] <TJ-> quick-: edit the /etc/default/grub file then do update-grub
[18:29] <yousafse> what is the save command in ubuntu?
[18:30] <meo> hi, iam trying to install ubuntu 12 64bit from usb but i get stuck at device-mapper : dm-raid45 initialized v0.2594b    i did not find what to do...
[18:31] <unitysucks> TJ-, that one i knew :P
[18:31] <unitysucks> i mean mom?
[18:32] <erfu> Hello. I have two wireless cards installed. One PCI and one USB. I want to use the USB card, but Ubuntu insists on using the PCI card when I connect to a network. How can I deactivate the PCI card, or simply make Ubuntu use the USB card?
[18:32] <erfu> Im on 12.04
[18:33] <atrika> Hi ubuntu, I've installed eclipse-jdt and the IDE validates, but does not autocomplete. Is there anyone that knows how to fix this ? Thank you.
[18:33] <steven__> ssudo thunar..4
[18:34] <unitysucks> uhg whatever, i am just appauled at how crappy ubuntu has become since 10.04.  i'm heading back to gentoo or something else at high speed.  with the latest distro i might as well be on windows
[18:34] <atrika> erfu, i think you could use ifconfig "name of your pci card" down
[18:34] <mbeierl> unitysucks, you can also try xubuntu
[18:34] <atrika> he left
[18:34] <mbeierl> atrika, so he did.  too bad.
[18:34] <steven__> Ubuntu Xfce is way easier and better that unity
[18:35] <quick-> TJ  i did but still its not working
[18:35] <TJ-> quick-: Which waiting time are you referring to?
[18:36] <quick-> the initial waiting time which it give to choose in case of a dual boot .
[18:36] <quick-> TJ-: the initial waiting time which it give to choose in case of a dual boot .
[18:36] <TJ-> quick-: which VARIABLE in /etc/default/grub did you change
[18:36] <fishbait_> i have dual monitors on radeon HD 6670(fglrx) but when i show all workspaces the middle is off-center how do i fix this?
[18:37] <vivekimsit>  TJ-:  So, you and me have to just use mouse to switch b/ tabs?
[18:37] <quick-> TJ-:  i changed GRU_TIMEOUT
[18:37] <erfu> atrika, thanks for the tip, Im going to try
[18:37] <quick-> TJ-:  i changed GRU_TIMEOUT
[18:37] <quick-> TJ-: sorry ,  i changed GRUB_TIMEOUT
[18:38] <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-> vivekimsit: In Terminal, if you look at the Tabs menu, you'll see it says to use Ctrl+PgDn and Ctrl+PgUp to move between the tabs
[18:38] <steven__> Ctrl arrow bro
[18:38] <W4sp> atrika: Did you create a new java project and have you also created a file within that project. I don't have Eclipse in front of me but I believe it requires another 'update' from 'Tools' menu. Also, have you everything installed in wherever/eclipse?
[18:38] <TJ-> quick-: OK, and you also followed that with "sudo update-grub" ?
[18:38] <ariana> a
[18:38] <Jordan_U> quick-: What did you change it to, did you run update-grub after changing it, and what timeout do you currently actually get at the grub menu?
[18:39] <W4sp> atrika: I'm not the most qualified person on this and have this actually on a Mac but the IDE and its behaviour should be the same.
[18:39] <vivekimsit>  TJ-:  thanks!
[18:39] <quick-> TJ-: i followed it with sudo update-grub
[18:39] <Teshub> Hi everyone. I can seem to get my bluetooth working on my Asus N61JQ laptop. It's not supported out of the box, I know.
[18:39] <louiemat> can you see a problem with this reply -  sudo dpkg -i esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.1.1-2_amd64.deb - after entering my password I recieve a message - error processing esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.1.1-2_amd64.deb (--install)
[18:39] <Teshub> can't*
[18:40] <quick-> Jordan_U: -:  i changed GRUB_TIMEOUT to 10 but the time is still 0 i guess
[18:40] <bey> hola
[18:40] <bey> que ondas como estan?
[18:40] <Jordan_U> quick-: Do you have more than one OS on this machine?
[18:40] <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] <TJ->   set timeout=-1
[18:40] <TJ-> else
[18:40] <TJ->   set timeout=10
[18:40] <TJ-> fi
[18:40] <FloodBot1> TJ-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:40]  * TJ- spanks self for forgetting 
[18:41] <W4sp> atrika: In addition to the above, you may need to make your $PATH available and if you have just installed you may need to log out and back in as eclipse is probably not treated as Exec login shell. Just a thought.
[18:42] <W4sp> !pm | atrika
[18:42] <zack6849> tj, how do i run a .run file?
[18:42] <quick-> Jordan_U:  yes i do
[18:42] <bey> hello all
[18:42] <Teshub> Anyone have any idea? (c/p of same message: Hi everyone. I can't seem to get my bluetooth working on my Asus N61JQ laptop. It's not supported out of the box, I know.)
[18:42] <Jordan_U> quick-: What other OS? What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[18:42] <TJ-> zack6849: run it :p you may need to set its executable flag with "chmod a+x file.run" first, then you can just run it
[18:43] <quick-> TJ-:  its already there and the timeout is 28
[18:43] <zack6849> of course..
[18:43] <MonkeyDust> Teshub  did you install blueman?
[18:43] <Teshub> No, I haven't. Should I?
[18:43] <quick-> Jordan_U: its Windows on sda1
[18:44] <MonkeyDust> Teshub  yeah
[18:44] <ariana> any idea how to tether WIFI connection by android device? I mean creating AP by andro phone and sharing WIFI connection, something like repeating of wifi towards another device. Any ideas?
[18:44] <zack6849> it said an earlyer flgrx thing was lready installed
[18:44] <zack6849> how would i uninstall that?
[18:45] <ariana> zack6849, sudo apt-get remove?
[18:45] <TJ-> zack6849: That's probably the mess that jockey has left behind :(
[18:45] <Jordan_U> quick-: What is the exact output (if any) of "sudo os-prober"?
[18:45] <zack6849> nay ideas as to how to fix it tj?
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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?
[18:47] <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] <zack6849> no info
[18:47] <TJ-> Pici: lol yeah... zack... correct my typo!
[18:47] <TJ-> zack6849: That's because you're not typing the closing single-quote
[18:47] <Teshub> I ran "lsusb -v" but couldn't find any bluetooth adapters. I know this laptop has one though, so that's not the problem.
[18:47] <steven__> why cant we use oovoo in ubuntu???
[18:47] <TJ-> zack6849: "dpkg-query -l '*fglrx*' " then use "apt-get --purge remove <package>"
[18:48] <quick-> Jordan_U:  the multiboot menu which had ubuntu loader , recovery mode , windows chain loader etc
[18:48] <zack6849> 0_0
[18:48] <TJ-> Teshub: Maybe the rfkill is on? or it might be a PCI device?
[18:48] <steven__> why cant we use oovoo in ubuntu??
[18:48] <steven__> why cant we use oovoo in ubuntu??
[18:48] <Jordan_U> quick-: So you do see the grub menu at boot? How long do you see the grub menu if you don't press any key?
[18:49] <Teshub> TJ-: The what? I should've said that I have second to no experience with Linux. :p
[18:49] <zack6849> http://pastebin.com/SGshxQUK
[18:50] <TJ-> Teshub: Many laptops have a hardware switch to control power to the bluetooth and/or wifi radios. They can sometimes prevent the bluetooth adapter even being recognised
[18:50] <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.
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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?
[18:53] <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?
[18:54] <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"
[18:55] <Jordan_U> !hostname | WhaleProbe2
[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] <zack6849>  GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1
[18:55] <WhaleProbe2> Jordan_U, thanks!
[18:55] <FloodBot1> zack6849: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:55] <Jordan_U> WhaleProbe2: You're welcome.
[18:55] <TJ-> zack6849: I don't know, where did you find it? :p
[18:56] <zack6849> Jordan_U, told me to put it in
 zack6849: If you set GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1 then the menu should display indefinitely. Can you test that?
[18:56] <Teshub> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/q5nEdLU0

[18:56] <zack6849> oh wow
[18:56] <steven__> YOUNG MULA BABEE
[18:56] <zack6849> okay
[18:56] <fishbait_> i have dual monitors on radeon HD 6670(fglrx) but when i show all workspaces the middle is off-center how do i fix this?
[18:56] <zack6849> the update went through now
[18:56] <pedahzur> Does anyone know why the mysql-query-browser and mysql-admin packages are no longer in 12.04? Is there another package that has replaced them?
[18:57] <zack6849> i rebooted terminal
[18:57] <TJ-> Teshub: thanks... can you do the same for "lsusb" ?
[18:57] <Jordan_U> zack6849: Sorry, my comment was indeed meant for quick-

[18:58] <novinha> wait
[18:58] <KaorukoLee> Can anyone reccomend some decent free games? I can't find any :s
[18:58] <TJ-> zack6849: "sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-updates"  ... there's an S on the end... sorry, another typo!
[18:58] <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...
[18:59] <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] <Jordan_U> KaorukoLee: I like Xmoto.

[19:00] <Teshub> TJ-: But it's not the Microsoft thing - that's my mouse.
[19:00] <davidrsmorris> KaorukoLee: sudoku (which can generate and export puzzles), works offline.  It's saved me from dire boredom.
[19:01] <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 :)
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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
[19:04] <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?
[19:05] <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] <davidrsmorris> KaorukoLee: it'll be a source package, it will have a readme.
[19:05] <TJ-> zack6849: "sudo apt-get purge fglrx-amdcccle-updates"

[19:07] <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.'
[19:08] <manuel__> hi
[19:08] <kalantir> to unpack a tar.gz its "tar xzf filename.tar.gz" without the quotes
[19:08] <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.
[19:09] <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"
[19:10] <steven__> Theseus
[19:10] <steven__> prummmm
[19:10] <steven__> sudo thunar! extract there
[19:10] <zack6849-phone> My whole screen froze
[19:10] <zack6849-phone> Is there a ctrl alt del equivalent on ubuntu?
[19:11] <Jordan_U> !reisub | zack6849-phone
[19:11] <kalantir> So do any of you have experience installing from live usb with persistence?
[19:11] <zack6849-phone> J
[19:11] <zack6849-phone> K
[19:12] <Teshub> TJ-: I don't even need to pastebin that - ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/ > pastebinit ls: cannot access /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/: No such file or directory
[19:12] <TJ-> Teshub: Oh... OK, check the parent dir: "ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth/" ... anything there at all?
[19:13] <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] <Teshub> Nope, empty.
[19:13] <someUbUser> additionaly - trying to use the listed compose-comma-apostrophe yields, ç the moment I press ,
[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?
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <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.. ;(
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <Teshub> TJ-: So ... what do you suggest? Install Windows, check if it actually works at all? I was hoping to avoid that, obviously...
[19:19] <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?
[19:20] <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"
[19:21] <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?
[19:22] <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"
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <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] <Teshub> TJ-: Ohh, okay. Awesome. :)
[19:24] <subz3r0> "CompizConfig Settings Manager"
[19:24] <zykotick9> !ccsm | soliloquy this can be used with Unity (but not ALL features)
[19:24] <Dot_> [       30.608014]   [<ffffffff81664a482] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
[19:24] <Dot_> It's stuck with a bunch of lines like that ^
[19:25] <L3top> !nomodeset | Dot_ see if this is helpful.
[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...
[19:26] <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 ?
[19:27] <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..
[19:28] <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? :)
[19:29] <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.
[19:30] <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.
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <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. :)
[19:33] <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> pdf
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <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] <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?
[19:37] <Teshub> TJ-: Ah... okay. Well.. let's my screwdriver kit then.
[19:37] <zykotick9> !mint | Dunter nope...
[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? -_-
[19:38] <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
[19:39] <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. ;)
[19:40] <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.
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <Dot_> And that will give me a full, proper dualboot? Correct?
[19:42] <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
[19:43]  * 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!
[19:44] <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] <TJ-> W4sp: Oh I drink alright :D
[19:44] <Salman> L3top: are you there?
[19:45] <subz3r0> !seen L3top
[19:45] <subz3r0> :D
[19:46] <datacide> When does actionparsnip come on usually?
[19:46] <Salman> !help
[19:46] <Salman> woops. i was wondering what your could say
[19:47] <Salman> Well can someone else help me with sound problems?
[19:47] <Marii> lkjlkj
[19:47] <iceroot> !details | Salman
[19:48] <Salman> iceroot: Sound isn't working at all. Lubuntu 12.04 (The Lubuntu channel is useless) Emachines MX4624
[19:49] <Dot_> Ok
[19:50] <W4sp> Salman: Have you been around yesterday? Best is to repeat your query in detail.
[19:50] <Dot_> I think I know what to do
[19:50] <Dot_> If I partition my disk, is there any major drawbacks?
[19:51] <zack_> okay
[19:51] <zack_> wtf
[19:51] <zack_> guys
[19:51] <primefalcon> Dot_, small partition size since it splits yor hard rive into virtual drives
[19:51] <zack_> the compiz process
[19:51] <zack_> was using
[19:51] <FloodBot1> zack_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:51] <zack_> 30% cpu on my computer
[19:51] <zack_> my whole pc was flipping out
[19:51] <Pici> !enter | zack_
[19:51] <Salman> W4sp: output of aplay -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138401/
[19:51] <Dot_> primefalcon, what size would you reccomend?
[19:52] <Dot_> I have 490GB free of 597GB.
[19:53] <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] <mofux> hi, is there a way to upgrade to quantal alpha 3 from 12.04 via software sources?
[19:53] <savio> why my hibernate option is disable
[19:53] <primefalcon> mofux, run the command sudo update-manager -d
[19:53] <MonkeyDust> savio  it's a known bug in 12.04
[19:53] <Dot_> It won't partition my RAM though, right?
[19:54] <MonkeyDust> Dot_  no
[19:54] <primefalcon> Dot_, ram is seperate
[19:54] <Dot_> alright then, sounds good
[19:54] <Dot_> Thanks for the help guys :D
[19:54] <Salman> W4sp: anything else?
[19:54] <datacide> To add seamonkey, apparently do the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joe-nationnet/seamonkey-beta; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install seamonkey
[19:54] <savio> MonkeyDust, thanks link will appreciate
[19:54] <W4sp> Salman: The best is to query with details what is on fault to all. IF you address a single person it is likely that other do no longer follow.
[19:55] <en1gma> what kernel does ubuntu 12.04 use
[19:55] <zack_> why would my cpu usage spike so high?? i dont lagg at all on windows, yet on ubuntu which is supposed to run well on LOW end hrdware crashes?
[19:55] <mofux> primefalcon: wow, that was easy, thanks alot
[19:55] <primefalcon> mofux, your welcome
[19:55] <Salman> W4sp: how do it do that?
[19:56] <en1gma> what kernel?
[19:56] <primefalcon> mofux, you do realize though that 12.10 is still alpha though right
[19:56] <primefalcon> mofux, and it may not be 100% stable
[19:56] <subz3r0> zack_ did you check with "top" whats takes most of the cpu usage?
[19:56] <zack_> yes
[19:57] <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] <en1gma> 3.2.6?
[19:57] <zack_> it was skype, and compiz
[19:57] <zack_> compiz was at 30%
[19:57] <zack_> and then my screens started flashing like they do when you change resolutions
[19:57] <primefalcon> 3.2.0-27-generic for 12.04
[19:57] <en1gma> thanks
[19:57] <Salman> W4sp: ok thanks
[19:57] <rollitup> hi people
[19:58] <KaorukoLee> I feel like an idiot now
[19:58] <subz3r0> zack_ which cpu is it? how many gigs of ram? do you use unity/gnome shell?
[19:58] <zack_> 12gb ram
[19:58] <KaorukoLee> I downloaded the Windows version of that game.. -.-
[19:58] <zack_> that may explain better
[19:58] <zack_> err
[19:59] <zack_> how do i do a syystem script
[19:59] <zack_> on windows xchaht they had /winsys
[19:59] <zack_> is there a linux equivalent?
[19:59] <subz3r0> system script?
[19:59] <KaorukoLee> Xchat for Linux o-o
[19:59] <zack_> mhm
[19:59] <rollitup> I just installed ubuntu 12.04 and I have an onboard GeForce 6150/integrated/SSE2/3DNOW!  card

[20:00] <centrelink> see
[20:00] <Salman> W4sp: um Kernel 3.2.0-27-generic isn't listed
[20:00] <zack_> errr
[20:00] <zack_> nope
[20:00] <zack_> nothing happened
[20:00] <rollitup> Nvidia accelerator graphics driver version 173 and there is also one recommended one in the list
[20:00] <centrelink> zack_; install it
[20:00] <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?
[20:00] <zack_> how?
[20:01] <zack_> im using xchat
[20:01] <rollitup> so can anyone point which would be the best to install ?
[20:01] <centrelink> .
[20:01] <primefalcon> rollitup, either go the latest or the recomended, which ever one works best for you
[20:01] <BluesKaj> rollitup, best to choose the recommended driver
[20:01] <subz3r0> zack_: wouldnt it be easier just telling us which cpu, ram, and gfx card?
[20:01] <zack_> amd radeon HD 6870
[20:01] <zack_> 12gb ram
[20:01] <subz3r0> !enter zack_
[20:01] <zack_> amd athlon II x4 at 3.0ghz
[20:01] <subz3r0> stop it
[20:02] <subz3r0> do not hit enter after like very word
[20:02] <rollitup> thanks BluesKaj and also I have 3 gigs of ram but it shows only 1.9 gb in the system details
[20:02] <centrelink> zack_; install xchat-xsys
[20:02] <joel135> rollitup, try the recommended one. it you discover it isn't enough for you, try the other one
[20:02] <zack_> how do i use xchat sys, i installed it
[20:02] <zack_> :/
[20:02] <KaorukoLee> Rollitup: I had similar issues; but apprently mine was due to graphics card
[20:02] <centrelink> zack_: restart xchat and type /sysinfo
[20:02] <Salman> W4sp: do i have to downgrade? or just use the one for 2.6.31-17-generic
[20:03] <rollitup> i installed the recommended one and also tried to install hedgewars game and the game wasn't able to run at all, it jus started and was frozen
[20:03] <subz3r0> zack_, well your system does fit the need of ubuntu. anyway. If your screen makes trouble, check the driver.
[20:03] <rollitup> so do u think i should try version 173
[20:03] <zack6849> os[Linux 3.2.0-27-generic-pae i686] distro[Ubuntu "precise" 12.04] cpu[4 x AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 11.8GB, 92.3% free] disk[Total: 206.5GB, 85.0% free] video[Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Barts XT [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB1: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic]
[20:04] <subz3r0> zack_, the gfx-driver i meant
[20:04] <zack6849> i cant get the drivers
[20:04] <zack6849> they all give me errors
[20:04] <joel135> rollitup, I'd always try the recommended one first because, well, it's recommended :)
[20:05] <zack6849> i wish i could, i asked for help but nobody could get it working
[20:05] <zack6849> would it help if i got teamviwer or something?
[20:05] <rollitup> yes joel135 but as i told you hedgewars couldn't run with the recommended one's so i think i shall try 173 but is there a way to revert back to recommended one ?
[20:06] <jpmh> running 12.04 - have used SETTINGS/BRIGHTNESS & LOCK to set "lock after 10 minutes" . System seems to ignore me and NEVER lock - what else do I need to do?
[20:08] <subz3r0> zack6849, try this tutorial: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers
[20:09] <joel135> rollitup, sorry I didn't see that. you can revert, yes
[20:09] <rollitup> thanx joel135 :)
[20:09] <subz3r0> I dont have/or want a ati/amd gfx card. so cant help you with it
[20:11] <hugoval> hey
[20:11] <siglar> Hello. In Ubuntu 12.04 I can't encrypt plain text in gedit because there isn't Seahorse plugins. Is there an alternative?
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> check the repos for a plugin?
[20:12] <siglar> Dr_Willis: I did. I didn't found any.
[20:13] <Salman> That HSF modem won't install anything else?
[20:14] <zack6849> thanks for the link Subz3r0
[20:15] <zack6849> okay, now it says the driver is active. but not currently in use
[20:15] <zack6849> how do i force it to use the driver?
[20:15] <StahlGrau> haha damn dude weren't you here last night?
[20:16] <zack6849> lolyep
[20:16] <zack6849> i figured out my error
[20:16] <StahlGrau> sweet
[20:16] <zack6849> apparently grub didnt take to kindly to hitting reset instead of powering off then back on
[20:16] <zack6849> nothing was messed up.
[20:17] <zack6849> now imm just trying to get my driver to work :P
[20:17] <bars0> \quit

[20:18] <Salman> Anyone else can help me with sound? Ubuntu 12.04 , Emachines Mx4624
[20:18] <zack6849> yeah, i installed it finally and it says "the driver is active, but not in use"
[20:18] <StahlGrau> what kind of graphics card?
[20:19] <code0ps> Will Ubuntu 12.04 run on a Toshiba Satellite C655D.  2XAMD 64 bit?
[20:19] <StahlGrau> is it a 64bit processor?
[20:20] <nhr_> Help, can not login to the box. I got BSOD, after reboot, I can not login to the box. Says failed to load session ubuntu

[20:20] <code0ps> Thank you.
[20:21] <code0ps> I noticed on the Canonical site, the build custom devices for cloud.  Can other manufacturers do that in liason, or are there only specific mobile devices?
[20:21] <subz3r0> yes its the zacate and ubuntu will run smoothly
[20:21] <StahlGrau> I run ubuntu on my E350 machine
[20:21] <StahlGrau> 64bit
[20:21] <subz3r0> friend of mine got it in his htpc
[20:21] <subz3r0> 64bit will work too
[20:22] <StahlGrau> zack6849, Not to sure what to tell ya
[20:22] <Salman> Please? Sound help?
[20:22] <StahlGrau> does your computer have an hdmi port, salman?
[20:22] <code0ps> So if I purchased a LTS OEM license, then if the equipment manufacturer was able to, that would work?
[20:22] <zack6849> one sec
[20:23] <nhr_> Anyone? Can not login to the box. It says failed to load session ubuntu
[20:23] <subz3r0> Salman, i suggest you but the information which have been asked for from other guys in here in a pastebin and put the infos in one line and ask in here from time to time :)
[20:23] <subz3r0> put
[20:23] <StahlGrau> LTS OEM license?
[20:24] <code0ps> Thanx all who helped.  I'll get a Live CD and check it out on my laptop.
[20:24] <subz3r0> keine ahnung stahlgrau
[20:24] <Salman> subz3r0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138401/
[20:24] <subz3r0> ehrm no idea
[20:24] <StahlGrau> Haha ja
[20:25] <StahlGrau> Ich kanne nur ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen ;)
[20:25] <subz3r0> you understand me wrong, Salman. I meant its better to put all the information you got in one line and ask then for help, as the way you did it before. like: "help with sounds"
[20:25] <Kaail> Hello?
[20:25] <k1l> nhr_: enough free space on the partitions?
[20:25] <StahlGrau> hello!
[20:26] <nhr_> k11: Yes, lot of space
[20:26] <Kaail> I have a problem with my sound.
[20:26] <zack6849> german? xD
[20:26] <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?
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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?
[20:30] <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.
[20:31] <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] <zack6849> http://www.downlaodmoreram.com/
[20:31] <zack6849> seems legit.
[20:31] <StahlGrau> lol
[20:32] <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?
[20:33] <zack6849> StahlGrau, if i try to install the post release it throws an error and requests i see the log
[20:34] <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.
[20:35] <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?
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <W4sp> Salman: That's a Desktop Environment that you don't have in Lubuntu.
[20:38] <zack6849> im completley los in ubunu at the moment
[20:38] <zack6849> Dx
[20:38] <zack6849> *lost
[20:38] <subz3r0> W4sp, lxde not in lubuntu? hmm? :>
[20:38] <Weird98GuY> one sec
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <L3top> oozbooz: I am unfamiliar with that. Was it a ppa?
[20:39] <oozbooz> yes
[20:39] <L3top> !ppa-purge
[20:39] <platzhirsch> Are the keyboard shortcuts for Gnome or other Window Managers defined somewhere in plain text?
[20:40] <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
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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] <cndiv> ok cool good idea, thanks
[20:45] <cndiv> ubottu, thanks
[20:46] <Salman> W4sp: its reinstalling EVERYthing
[20:47] <W4sp> Salman: Lubuntu?
[20:47] <zack6849> errm, i need help using dual screens again
[20:47] <zack6849> i made it work on the olld driver, then it reseet itself
[20:48] <Salman> W4sp: its installing libre-office nd ubuntu desktop (its done now)
[20:49] <zack6849> when i try to apply the new settings i get the following error: "requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1920, 0), size=(1280, 1024), maximum=(1920, 1920)"
[20:49] <k1l> nhr_: sounds like this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/808654  read comment 11
[20:50] <PapaSierra> i have a home dir /home/me and that dir is owned by a user "me". now i want apache to serve files from there. i believe apache (www-data) doesn't have permission to that dir. what is the correct way to solve this?
[20:50] <Salman> W4sp: ok so how do i enable pulse audio?
[20:50] <k1l> nhr_: but im afk now. if you need help adress the whole channel
[20:51] <nhr_> Why would it switch to 2d. As far I know it was default experience. I'll try the suggestions
[20:51] <j3sus> hello can ubuntu dialup
[20:51] <BluesKaj> Salman, open a terminal type , pulseaudio  ,  make sure you don't have any errors
[20:53] <centrelink> j3sus idk
[20:53] <W4sp> Salman: Well, do try to play an audio file. In '/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stere' are some. Play 'audio-channel-front-center.oga' for example.
[20:53] <Salman> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138503/ i get
[20:53] <BluesKaj> !dialup | j3sus
[20:53] <Jordan_U> j3sus: Yes, Ubuntu can use dial up modems. It can often be difficult to setup though, and not all dial up modems are supported.
[20:53] <cndiv> Does anyone use an ultra-light laptop as their ubuntu machine? I'm looking for reviews.
[20:54] <j3sus> does aol modem work ????
[20:54] <BluesKaj> !polls | cndiv
[20:54] <ahoneybun> hello people
[20:55] <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?
[20:56] <Salman> Front-center
[20:56] <W4sp> Salman: OK, what program did you use to test the sound?
[20:56] <Salman> Rythumbox(whatever its called)
[20:58] <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.
[20:59] <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 ^^
[21:00] <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
[21:01] <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.
[21:02] <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?
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <usr13> supercom32: If it's not big enough, just make it bigger.
[21:04] <OerHeks> Salman, try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* "
[21:05] <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.
[21:06] <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.
[21:07] <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] <Salman> usr13: i don't know what to do
[21:08] <usr13> Salman: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[21:08] <usr13> Salman: Do you see errors, or what?
[21:08] <Salman> usr13: i did no sound what so ever
[21:08] <katfa> Does anyone have any experience with a netgear usb dongle
[21:08] <katfa> ?
[21:08] <W4sp> usr13: I think Salman has done that already.
[21:08] <usr13> Salman: What did you see on the screen?
[21:08] <Salman> usr13: output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138513/
[21:08] <zack6849> David-A, how do i do it in graphical?
[21:09] <W4sp> Salman: Did you get alsamixer up and did you see the device?
[21:09] <zack6849> ineed to run catlylist control center in "superuser"
[21:09] <subz3r0> harovali, mesa-utils installed?
[21:09] <Salman> W4sp ATI IXP yes
[21:09] <subz3r0> katfa, yes
[21:09] <usr13> Salman: See that you have working speakers plugged into ports that are active, and that amps are plugged in, etc...
[21:10] <subz3r0> !details | katfa
[21:10] <Salman> usr13: im using built in speakers
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <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....?
[21:13] <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?
[21:14] <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?
[21:15] <ahoneybun> PapaSierra, did that work?
[21:15] <subz3r0> katfa: please the output of "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper", "ndiswrapper -l"too
[21:16] <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.
[21:17] <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
[21:18] <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.
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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] <katfa> that was ndiswrapper -l
[21:20] <katfa> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper doesn't output anything
[21:20]  * NoFace hi ppl
[21:20] <subz3r0> yes, seems that the driver isnt loaded.. " couldn't load driver 'bcmwlhigh6"
[21:20] <Motest003> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper doesn't output anything
[21:20] <Salman> and im not good at explaining if i push the volume wheel up the volume in windows/ Lubutnu goes up (in alsamixer its like im pressing the up button) when i let go of the volume button it goes back to its position and the volume stays at what it was increased to. if i want to increase more i have to push it up again and repeat the let go thing.
[21:21] <Motest003> EA=XACTKY
[21:23] <subz3r0> katfa,  the chip Broadcom BCM43xx is know  to make problems. you could try the driver "bcmwlhigh5"
[21:24] <katfa> subz3r0: bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed device (0846:9011) present
[21:24] <katfa> subz3r0: i'm thought I removed bcmwlhigh6
[21:26] <subz3r0> katfa, please try to give sudo iwlist scan  a shot
[21:27] <W4sp> Salman: You there...?
[21:27] <subz3r0> nothin found, right?
[21:27] <katfa> subz3r0: lo and eht0 don't support scanning it says

[21:28] <Salman> daeyun: badddd
[21:28] <W4sp> Salman: I have LXDE up. Please, if you haven't done so, in 'Sound and Video' you have now 'Pulse Audio Mixer'. Please can you run it.
[21:29] <Salman> W4sp: i don't see it. weird
[21:29] <subz3r0> katfa, which driver did you download?
[21:29] <subz3r0> i mean which package
[21:30] <W4sp> Salman: Did you not install in previously? I recall you complained about it. :-)
[21:30] <fishcooker> my debmirror encounter this gpg so error
[21:30] <fishcooker> how to override this
[21:30] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138546/
[21:30] <Praxi> is there an equivalent to alt tab built into ubuntu?
[21:30] <katfa> subz3r0: I've tried a couple and found a zip for winxp2000
[21:31] <Salman> W4sp: yes i followed your gnome-alsamixer step. or was that the correct?
[21:31] <katfa> so I removed the others... well maybe I did
[21:31] <glebihan> fishcooker, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
[21:31] <Salman> W4sp *not
[21:31] <katfa> I tried to uninstall the others with wine
[21:31] <OerHeks> Salman, are you using Lubuntu within windows with wubi?
[21:31] <W4sp> Salman: It was the 'paman' in synaptics. No worries.
[21:31] <subz3r0> katfa: "sudo modprobe -v ndiswrapper" should show us more informations
[21:32] <Salman> W4sp: oh opps.
[21:32] <katfa> subz3r0:  that didn't return antyhing
[21:33] <marsje> why does my resolve.conf say: nameserver 127.0.0.1 ? how can I find my dns server?
[21:33] <Salman> W4sp: ok GNOME alsamixer. now what?
[21:33] <subz3r0> its such a shame that the broadcom chips make so many problems :/
[21:33] <subz3r0> katfa, cant you give it back and get another one?
[21:33] <katfa> is there another brand I should try instead? like D-Link for example?
[21:33] <larry_> hay guise how do i install gcc?
[21:34] <katfa> because I only bought it a few days ago so I can return it
[21:34] <subz3r0> that would be the best i guess
[21:34] <W4sp> In a terminal run 'synaptics &' or 'Preferences/Synaptic Package Manager'. In the search box type in paman. Mark it and possible another one and click apply. That should give us the audio control.
[21:34] <katfa> but what should I buy then?
[21:34] <subz3r0> yes of course please check
[21:34] <subz3r0> !hcl | katfa
[21:34] <OerHeks> larry_, sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[21:34] <larry_> thanks OerHeks !
[21:35] <TJ-> marsje: In 12.04 Ubuntu switched to using dnsmasq by default as the resolver
[21:36] <TJ-> marsje: As it runs on the localhost its at 127.0.0.1
[21:36] <marsje> TJ-: I was not aware of that.. dnsmasq forwards to the dns server it received through dhcp?
[21:36] <katfa> subz3r0: thanks, I'm checking the list out now

[21:37] <Guest37210> I started using Ubuntu 10.04, and I'm really missing the windows 7 feature where you could drag a window to the left, side of the screen, and drag a window to the right side, and it would maximize both at half screen side by side. Anyone know of a way to do this in Ubuntu with gnome?
[21:37] <Salman> W4sp: ok now?
[21:37] <marsje> TJ-: thanks, I'll read a bit
[21:38] <subz3r0> katfa, you're welcome
[21:38] <subz3r0> ajax11124, that should work?
[21:38] <katfa> subz3r0: right now I'm using a bridged connection to my laptop, it's not optimal.
[21:39] <katfa> I hope I find something that my linux distro will support.
[21:39] <fishcooker> glebihan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138572/
[21:39] <Salman> W4sp: You there?
[21:40] <ajax11124> subz3r8, It doesn't work for me. It would be awesome If it could though.
[21:40] <subz3r0> ajax11124, click on the titlebar with the left mouse button and drag the window to the left or right. you will see an orange box
[21:40] <subz3r0> ajax11124, so you cant maximize the same way? titlebar and drag it to the top?
[21:41] <katfa> looks like I need to get a  D - Link! Thanks again for the help. :) good night
[21:41] <ajax11124> subz3r8, It doesn't do it for me. I am in 10.04 btw.
[21:41] <W4sp> Salman: In Volume control check if your device is listed. In 'Output Devices' see if it is LFE-Output either with or w/out amplifier. In Configuration it shoudl say Analog Stereo Output.
[21:41] <glebihan> fishcooker, looks like your proxy settings are interfering with apt
[21:42] <glebihan> fishcooker, I don't mush about proxy settings though, don't think I'll be able to help there
[21:42] <W4sp> Salman: Are we on the same page...?
[21:42] <glebihan> s/mush/know much
[21:42] <Salman> W4sp 1 sec
[21:42] <W4sp> Salman: OK, Cool.
[21:43] <subz3r0> ajax11124, awww... kinda late here.... guess i should go to bed... anyway. thought youre using gnome3.
[21:43] <Salman> W4sp: 2 options headphones no amp or amp.
[21:43] <ajax11124> subz3r8, gnome3 has it? I might just update to that then.
[21:44] <subz3r0> ajax11124, install the ccsm and  compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[21:44] <subz3r0> !ccsm | ajax11124
[21:44] <W4sp> Salman: Do you have an headphone that you can plug in?
[21:44] <subz3r0> ajax11124, then check the "grid" function.
[21:44] <Salman> W4sp: yes but i would like speakers.
[21:45] <W4sp> Salman: I know, just to see if everything else is fine.
[21:45] <ajax11124> subz3r8, ok awesome. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info
[21:46] <subz3r0> ajax11124, you're welcome. yes, gnome shell can do that with 12.04
[21:46] <subz3r0> ajax11124, any reason why you decided to use 10.04 instead of 12.04?
[21:46] <W4sp> Salman: In 'Output Devices', is there no LTE/.. or similar suggesting towards built-in speaker available?
[21:47] <ajax11124> subz3r8, I had some major issues with the 12.04 installation. Couldn't find the help I needed fast enough, and I had 10.04 disk sitting right next to me lol. So I decided I would just use that.
[21:47] <Salman> W4sp: i don't understand. can i send a screenshot?
[21:49] <W4sp> Salman: from the start button onwards select 'Sound & Video', then 'PulseAudio Volume Control'. The one that was missing as it hasn't been isntalled yet.
[21:49] <W4sp> Salman: It should be there now.
[21:49] <Salman> W4sp: that is what i am in.
[21:50] <subz3r0> ajax11124, dunno what went wrong. but everytime you download an image, make sure its not corrupted... check the md5 sum before
[21:50] <W4sp> Salman: I refer to the labels of the tabs: 'Output DEvices' is it not there?
[21:50] <fishcooker> i've no problem abt proxy setting here .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138590/
[21:51] <Salman> W4sp: yes i in it
[21:51] <W4sp> Salman: The stuff I wrote about to check, see previous. Did you checked it?
[21:51] <W4sp> Sorry, Did you check it.
[21:52] <ajax11124> subz3r8, I really didn't think it was a big issue. I have used 10.04 before and its worked good for me. I'm really not missing much of the stuff in 12.04. This was just one thing bugging me.
[21:52] <W4sp> I referred to the tabs: playback, output and so on.
[21:53] <phonebook_> if anyone was following my struggle yesterday - i finally got windows 7 installed on virtual box on ubuntu
[21:53] <phonebook_> and you may all quote me ---
[21:53] <W4sp> Salman: In Volume control check if your device is listed. In 'Output Devices' see if it is LFE-Output either with or w/out amplifier. In Configuration it shoudl say Analog Stereo Output.
[21:53] <phonebook_> windows 7 is the best app for ubuntu
[21:53] <deadmund> hahaha
[21:53] <ferds> lol
[21:53] <Postumus> HAHAHA!
[21:53] <phonebook_> well... it wasnt THAT funny
[21:53] <billyoc> Say it again, I missed it.
[21:54] <subz3r0> phonebook_, let me guess, problems with the guest additions?
[21:54] <s3r3n1t7> phonebook_, i'm waiting for the joke to come ....
[21:54] <Salman> W4sp: the port? there are to options on port headphone no amp and headphone amp
[21:54] <Salman> W4sp: tried both don't work
[21:55] <phonebook_> susubz3r8 - i had some partition problems and stuff - but it all worked out in the end
[21:55] <katfa> hey again subz3r0
[21:55] <fishcooker> because i succeed to apt-get update
[21:55] <katfa> guess what.... I'M ON WIRELESS!
[21:55] <W4sp> Salman: I see. Did you run the test with the headphones? Did it work? (I know you don't want to rely solely on headphones). This is just a test to probe if everything else is fine.
[21:56] <subz3r0> katfa, nice nice :) how did you fix it?
[21:56] <katfa> I have no idea
[21:56] <W4sp> Salman: We certainly will not give up on this.
[21:56] <katfa> restarted :)
[21:56] <subz3r0> just a reboot?
[21:56] <subz3r0> awww
[21:56] <subz3r0> lol
[21:56] <subz3r0> lovely :)
[21:56] <katfa> haha yea.. but that was like the 7th
[21:56] <FloodBot1> subz3r0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:56] <Salman> W4sp: not working headphones or anything
[21:57] <subz3r0> katfa, did you a reboot after you unloaded the other driver? because it was shown in the log,too
[21:57] <W4sp> Salman: You dont have working headphones or do you have working headphones but nothing comes out of them?
[21:57] <Salman> W4sp: working headphones plugged into the port. no sound coming out of the headphones
[21:57] <katfa> subz3r0: yea, I restarted so many times. so I don't know why this worked this time. It was quite amazing. Took a while to connect but it worked in the end. Now I need to test if I can connect to the protected network
[21:58] <MonkeyDust> Salman  in a terminal, type alsamixer
[21:58] <katfa> well atleast now I know that if I need to buy a usb wifi adapter, I'm going for d-link next time.
[21:58] <W4sp> Salman: OK. I will be away for a few minutes but I won't hang up on you.
[21:58] <Salman> MonkeyDust: No
[21:58] <katfa> ok goodnight again good people of Ubuntu! Hopefully I can help someone out one day as well
[21:58] <subz3r0> gn8
[21:58] <Salman> MonkeyDust: didn't help me
[21:59] <daeyun> goodbye. have a nice day
[21:59] <superbbbfab> hi, someone can help me with dosbox?
[21:59] <W4sp> Salman: MEanwhile... I checked for your laptop and we need to know if we have the correct driver. Can you search on their web site what audio hardware is actually installed.
[22:00] <fishcooker> TT
[22:00] <fishcooker> what happen with dosbox
[22:00] <Salman> W4sp: these are the specs http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/eMachines/StormK8/1009017sp2.shtml
[22:01] <W4sp> Salman: Further, you may need to check if there are any settings in the BIOS that may point to the muted systen.
[22:01] <Salman> W4sp: no sound works fine in windows after i install drivers
[22:03] <W4sp> Salman: OK with the BIOS. I wonder if there is a difference between the AC '97 we have loaded and their AC '7.
[22:03] <W4sp> Salman: brb.
[22:05] <Salman> W4sp: well i remember something saying AC 97
[22:06] <Salman> W4sp: plus the site says it has a x300 graphics care but it has a 200m graphics (as in it could be a lie)
[22:07] <superbbbfab> hi fish, i can't config keyboard to play
[22:08] <pseudonymous> Anyone using Ibus on ubuntu ?
[22:09] <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 :(
[22:10] <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.
[22:11] <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 :\
[22:12] <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?
[22:13] <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)
[22:14] <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.
[22:15] <lee8oi> I have intel integrated on 2 of my laptops. It works for 3D desktop/etc ok. Intel makes mostly integrated.
[22:15] <Salman> W4sp: how long will it be?
[22:16] <W4sp> Salman: I just returned and will now have a look into your hardware specs.
 Do the Intel HD 4000 cards seem like they'll be decent for the next 3-5 years, for gaming?
[22:16] <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
[22:17] <Luig1> On laptops though that brings a whole slew of power management issues with the optimus technology etc
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <lee8oi> I was looking for a simple way to remove all the manually installed packages I've added to Ubuntu.
[22:19] <lee8oi> and their dependencies.
[22:19] <lopsider> hello, I'm new to linux OS and am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I love it works great on the Aspire 1520 I have here. I have a question though. My screen display doesn't fill up my whole screen. I have 2 - 2 1/2 inches on the right that is black and a wrapped effect on the bottom showing the top of my display again. Is there a way I can fix this?
[22:19] <pseudonymous> Luig1: gaming on a laptop is almost always a disappointment anyway. If you use linux exclusively you may as well just use a slightly cheaper laptop and then pour cash into a gaming desktop
[22:20] <Salman> @W4sp: FYI i upped the ram 2 GB and it had a express 200m graphaics not a x300
[22:20] <Epistol> hi, there is a french chan ?
[22:20] <Luig1> pseudonymous, that's a great idea! It literally never occurred to me
[22:21] <gld1982ltd> Hi all...I need help packaging. I want to package lxmed and upload it to my ppa. I am following the instructions on http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html. I'm at the bzr builddeb -- -us -uc command. I keep getting an empty binary package. can anyone help? This is my first time trying to package an Ubuntu package.
[22:21] <Luig1> I've been going back and forth trying to configure a laptop to replace everything else, though :\ except for my phone, of course
[22:22] <Luig1> Hoping to save in the long run by being set for a few years, with a single device
[22:22]  * aaas tests /me 
[22:23] <pseudonymous> Luig1: well, good luck with that :) I've never really been satisfied with the everything-in-one laptop. Typically they don't perform well enough or they are noisy,hot and plastic'y
[22:23] <pseudonymous> Moreso on Linux. I can't for the life of me get StarCraft 2 to work decently even though I play it in Windows on the same laptop.
[22:24] <zykotick9> !fr | Epistol
[22:25] <Epistol> Thx =)
[22:25] <Luig1> Well pseudonymous I have the same worries, but at this point I don't have a clear idea of where I want to live, so I'm not even sure if I have space to dedicate to a desktop. Even with the configuration issues (which I fully expect) I feel like this will be a simpler solution in the long run
[22:25] <Salman> W4sp: well i got to go
[22:25] <Luig1> That's part of what's making me lean to AMD, the driver seems to handle a lot on its own
[22:25] <W4sp> Salman: OK.
[22:25] <pseudonymous> ubottu: so is #ubuntu-qc for who ? Canadians ?
[22:26] <Luig1> I just wish they were offered in as many models as nvidia cards are :(
[22:26] <liam> Can i get some help here for a problem i am having? Am a new user, just switched to ubuntu
[22:26] <Luig1> Just ask, liam :)
[22:26] <pseudonymous> Luig1: well, never buy a pc before you're set up somewhere ;)
[22:26] <liam> Thank you; Basically, it looks and feels sweet, except one thing; i have no wireless.
[22:27] <liam> i used kinux mint older versions and didnt have this problem...
[22:27] <Luig1> I'm afraid I have little choice at this point, pseudonymous. Going to college this month and my current pc is hopelessly out of date. No way will I be productive enough unless I can get the latest software going.
[22:27] <Baud_> Hey guys, ive been researching this for a couple weeks but i havent found a good answer yet. When I do a live preview of ubuntu, via install media, my GUI has allot of great features like the ability to snap windows to sides of the screen or to use multiple workspaces as a single canvas draging windows between them with ease. However, as soon as I install ubuntu, all of those features drop and im stuck with interfaces more reminiscent of
[22:27] <Luig1> liam, could you tell us what wireless hardware you have?
[22:28] <extrasolar> Baud_ the program that allows you to do that is compiz
[22:28] <liam> This package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driverfor use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-,BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-basedhardware.
[22:29] <liam> "This driver is activated and currently in use
[22:29] <pseudonymous> Baud_: sounds like you're running Unity 2D - Unity 3D gives you a lot of sweet features :) Most likely you have a Nvidia or AMD card that needs some drivers
[22:29] <extrasolar> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager#Compiz
[22:29] <gld1982ltd> can anyone help me? I'm trying to learn how to package software from source. I keep getting an empty deb.
[22:29] <pseudonymous> liam: I don't know if it's like that anymore, but back in the days you needed a broadcom driver AND the broadcom firmware for that wifi card to actually make the driver work
[22:30] <liam> (wait, there is a command i can type here that tells you exactly what my machine has/is?
[22:30] <liam> Oh, ok pseudo...and how does one aquire the firmware?
[22:30] <IdleOne> !broadcom
[22:30] <extrasolar> what problem is liam having?
 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] <pseudonymous> liam: hardinfo is a nice gui program that'll let you know what sort of hardware you're rocking ;)
[22:31] <deadmund> liam: also, lspci -k  shows your hardware and drivers
[22:31] <liam> lspci -k
[22:31] <liam> ok...
[22:32] <deadmund> liam: yeah :)  In the term
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <CoolerKing> hello.. my having a problem with my Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 with iwlwifi kernel driver.. It shows networks but I'm unable to connect.. I read many threads that reported the same issue, and they suggested 'options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1' etc, but doesn't seem to work here.. anyone feel like helping out?
[22:34] <Baud_> Thanks! I hadent tried that yet xD
[22:34] <Baud_> I'll relog and give it a shot
[22:34] <Baud_> then facepalm if thats all i had to do
[22:34] <pseudonymous> Baud_: best of luck :D
[22:34] <Baud_> once more into the breach dear friends
[22:35] <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?
[22:36] <CoolerKing> extrasolar: It's an Acer D257 netbook
[22:36] <baud__> No dice gentlemen
[22:36] <CoolerKing> extrasolar: with Ubuntu 12.04 with all updates
[22:36] <baud__> It had a list containing Ubuntu and Unity 2D
[22:36] <liam> o...i have the dumbest question; i am using terminal, trying to get broadcom firmware...one thing
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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?
[22:39] <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.

[22:50] <Dot_> Hello
[22:50] <MagicalMuffin> Hey
[22:50] <Dot_> I'm aing trouble
[22:50] <MagicalMuffin> ?
[22:50] <Dot_> with running ubuntu from a CD
[22:50] <extrasolar> with?
[22:50] <MagicalMuffin> Really
[22:50] <MagicalMuffin> ???
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <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] <Dot_> Thats where I did it.
[22:52] <extrasolar> alternatively, disable every other way to boot instead of a CD
[22:53] <Dot_> disable? D:
[22:53] <extrasolar> yes you can reenable it again
[22:53] <MagicalMuffin> I think he has a older bios
[22:53] <Dot_> bleh, fine. I'll try
[22:53] <extrasolar> ah
[22:53] <extrasolar> WAIT
[22:53] <extrasolar> what laptop do you have?
[22:53] <Dot_> ?
[22:53] <Dot_> HP Pavilion
[22:53] <MagicalMuffin> Ug those :P
[22:53] <Dot_> It was on sale, I need it for school stuff >.>
[22:53] <MagicalMuffin> :D ok fine..
[22:53] <extrasolar> should be ok
[22:54] <MagicalMuffin> WAIT
[22:54] <extrasolar> if that's a problem
[22:54] <extrasolar> just use wubi
[22:54] <MagicalMuffin> Did you try wiping your hardrive yet ? completly
[22:54] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(

[22:54] <extrasolar> Dot_ I recommmend using wubi first
[22:54] <MagicalMuffin> Yeah try that
[22:54] <extrasolar> then if you're comfortable install ubuntu to a partition
[22:54] <Dot_> johnwerneken, double click their name or type /query <nick>
[22:55] <akem> Dot_, one of the function key pops up a boot menu iirc

[22:55] <liam> Thanks lads...i have to reboot, but i think i know what i am doing. i will return, either to ask for more help...or to say Thank You!!
[22:55] <fishcooker> is apt-mirror just the binary one
[22:55] <fishcooker> ?
[22:55] <johnwerneken> ubuntu has a multi-boot loader just like windows7's...works like wein8 but no win8 gui...its grub i think
[22:56] <extrasolar> yes it's called grub
[22:56] <fishbait> sometimes when i issue sudo pm-hibernate it freezes how do i find the problem :(
[22:56] <johnwerneken> any Grub experts? I have couple questions
[22:56] <johnwerneken> have had to re-image as I don't know enough
[22:56] <Dot_> I was told wubi wasn't as good as running it off a CD and dualbooting it.
[22:56] <extrasolar> Just ask the questions it's easier that way
[22:57] <extrasolar> Dot_ what do you mean good?
[22:57] <extrasolar> Dot_ it's a good 'start'
[22:57] <extrasolar> If you like just use it for a week
[22:57] <extrasolar> Then go into partitioning the hard drive
[22:57] <lopsider> is there a way to force a screen resolution?
[22:57] <Dot_> I'll probably use it for school and stuff.
[22:58] <extrasolar> lopsider http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749177
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <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
[23:00] <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?
[23:01] <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> i don't know how to set a file system;
[23:01] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | johnwerneken
[23:01] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | johnwerneken
[23:02] <johnwerneken> the locations listing calls them all 'sides' under dev i think...it is not obvious which side refers to what patition or os and i'm not sure it clearly says which choicve is mbr
[23:02] <johnwerneken> bootinfo, pastebin ok
[23:02] <Baud_> so, I found a quicker way fo solving the problem i was having
[23:02] <Baud_> i treid changing the bios settings to use oinly integrated and my computer didnt agree.
[23:03] <bobweaver> Hello there is there a Portugese channel ?
[23:03] <Jordan_U> johnwerneken: I can't remember seeing Ubuntu's installer referring to anything as a "side". Can you post a screenshot of where in the installer you're seeing this?
[23:03] <Baud_> ran everything at 640x480
[23:03] <SJr> How do I download every package from a PPA?
[23:03] <Jordan_U> !pt | bobweaver

[23:03] <extrasolar> Baud_ good man
[23:03] <bobweaver> thanks
[23:03] <Baud_> then i changed in the bios to only use discrete graphics
[23:03] <Baud_> and now unity 3d
[23:03] <Baud_> or whatever this is
[23:03] <Baud_> works fine
[23:03] <FloodBot1> Baud_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:03] <extrasolar> excellent
[23:04] <Jordan_U> johnwerneken: I had ubottu give you the pastebin factoid so that you would know how to pastebin the RESULTS.txt file produced by boot info script.
[23:04] <extrasolar> I'd write that down just incase you need to reinstall :)
[23:04] <johnwerneken> jordan_u I'll have to re-run it to that point...I am not certain what it does when installer started WITHOUT ever haviing been completed; this hard drive is reimaged, no Ubuntu now
[23:04] <Baud_> now, if i stop using unity 3d, do i lose my snap to edges? I like the desktop cube better than this square ive got now
[23:04] <johnwerneken> jordan ty
[23:04] <extrasolar> stop using unity 3d as in logging into unity 2d?
[23:05] <Jordan_U> johnwerneken: Is there any reason you decided to do "something else" rather than just letting Ubuntu's installer configure things properly?
[23:05] <fishbait> sometimes when i issue sudo pm-hibernate it freezes how do i find the problem :(?
[23:05] <Baud_> I mean, I like some of the features that compiz has, but last time i used compiz, it didnt have any of the snap to half screen functionality that i have now
[23:05] <extrasolar> fishbait what is your setup ?
[23:06] <harovali1> is there a standard tool to rebuild the graphics install of an ubuntu 12.04 LTS ? it hangs at boot, formerly it booted fine for a couple of months
[23:06] <harovali1> it hangs but one can get a text command login
[23:06] <harovali1> but the gdm never starts up
[23:06] <fishbait> 80gb / 500gb swap and /home sudo pm-hibernate works it just freezes sometimes
[23:07] <extrasolar> what laptop do you have fishbait?

[23:08] <extrasolar> does the hibernate bring you like a black screen first?
[23:08] <fishbait> yep
[23:09] <johnwerneken> jordan_U: tried option3 because normasl instal was fine UNTIL tried access win7 from the multi-boot list Grub put on the screen and got "unknown file system" error, so I wanted to see if I could instal Ubunu and lerave the windows multi-booter in charge as I kknow a little about editing MBR from windows but not from Grub or anywhere else on Ubuntu...
[23:09] <xibalba> hey folks, how do i change my bash shell to say my full hsotname of the box?
[23:09] <johnwerneken> the error could not be repaired by me other than by re-imaging the drive...

[23:11] <jblack> gimp?
[23:12] <extrasolar> amarcolino gimp or inkscape
[23:12] <xibalba> PS1="[\u@\H \W]\$" was my answer
[23:13] <amarcolino> extrasolar, jblack, png files made in fireworks with multiple layers and pages, don't think gimp lets me access those pages
[23:13] <DonaldShimoda> hiç
[23:13] <DonaldShimoda> anybody experience usb problems with virtualbox after the latest system update?
[23:14] <extrasolar> There is not direct replacement for FireWorks
[23:14] <extrasolar> I am afaird
[23:14] <extrasolar> there are alternatives though like GIMP and inkscape
[23:14] <extrasolar> A friend tells me xara xtreme is also good for vectors

[23:15] <extrasolar> johnwerneken how are you getting on
[23:16] <Jordan_U> johnwerneken: OK. Please install Ubuntu using the automatic partitioning and if you still have an issue with booting Windows after that then run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt which it produces.
[23:16] <DonaldShimoda> anybody experience usb problems with virtualbox after the latest system update?
[23:16] <rrrrr> new to ubuntu
[23:16] <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.
[23:17] <extrasolar> right cick on the bar
[23:17] <rrrrr> someone knows a security program for ubuntu...something like a antivirus...or something like that
[23:17] <extrasolar> rrrrr no need for it
[23:17] <extrasolar> generally
[23:17] <johnwerneken> i am thinking do i want to restart unbunu installer to get screen shots of IT...I do not want to reinstal ubunu though until I have a way to fix boot errors as I can in windows (macrium mirror software willl auto-fix some mbr-related issues BCDEdit and a gui equivalent can fix others ...don't know how to use grub not yet though I have a url for Grub info, haven't looked yet...'
[23:17] <zykotick9> !virus | rrrrr
[23:17] <fishbait> extrasolar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1138683 my lspci and ubuntu 12.04 lts
[23:18] <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.
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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?
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <victoria_> hi
[23:27] <victoria_> hi from uruguay
[23:27] <amarcolino> can someone suggest a linux program that opens adobe fireworks png files?
[23:27] <wilee-nilee> extrasolar, that wil take them to a tty
[23:27] <extrasolar> yes
[23:27] <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.
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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?
[23:30] <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
[23:31] <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] <fishbait> bustacap no your not reatarded i have the same issue
[23:31] <rrrrr_> hy there
[23:32] <extrasolar> hibernate problems are usually due to graphic cards and periperals
[23:32] <rrrrr_> how can i get a good program for proxy
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <rrrrr_> anyone ?
[23:34] <Draugauth> wilee-nilee: ok will try using the 2D desktop.  Had to reboot as when I did a CTRL-C it locked up the terminal and desktop both.
[23:34] <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.
[23:35] <bustacap> Thanks, the -rf is what I kept forgetting :P
[23:35] <Spazio> hi guys..i am trying to install wine on ubuntu 12.04 but i get an error message that the grub boot loader cannot be installed cause it was previously installed to a disk no longer present..it doesn't let me stop installation so dunno how to proceed..tnx :)
[23:35] <extrasolar> for more information type 'man rm'
[23:35] <fishbait> draugauth do you by chance use an amd/ati graphics card?
[23:35] <rrrrr_> what is the best webdesign program for linux/ubuntu ?\
[23:36] <Draugauth> fishbait:  Nope.  Nvidia Geforce 7300 on that system.
[23:36] <extrasolar> rrrrr learn HTML and CSS
[23:36] <extrasolar> then you'll be a great designer
[23:36] <fishbait> draugauth: check your graphics card drivers
[23:37] <fishbait> thats the only help i've got
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <shockingbehavur> thanks to you both i get it done
[23:38] <rrrrr_> thanks extrasolar
[23:38] <Guest44106> oi
[23:38] <shockingbehavur> choice
[23:39] <extrasolar> remember to check the logs too
[23:39] <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)?
[23:40] <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?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <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?
[23:45] <[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
[23:46] <[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
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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.
[23:51] <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..
[23:52] <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?
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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.
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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

[23:57] <Megas> A windows notebook
[23:57] <extrasolar> ok
[23:58] <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?
[23:59] <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
